Law would ban lake keg parties
By TODD COHEN
Staff writer
Keg parties at Lone Star Lake will be a thing of the past once Douglas County Commissioners complete action today on new liquor and beer regulations.
Commissioners are expected to enact at today's 9 a.m. meeting, new regulations that would allow consumption of liquor and cereal malt beverages in the lake's picnic and camping park areas. But a containment container limit will be proposed in an effort to ban keg parties.
At yesterday's meeting, commissioners approved 3-0 a charter resolution exempting the county
from state regulations of consumption of alcoholic beverages so that new rules for the county-owned recreation lake could be enacted
A unanimous commission vote is required for a county to exempt itself from certain state regulations.
Under state law, cereal malt beverages, but not liqueur, were permitted at the lake. However, Sheriff Rex Johnson said that because it was impossible to determine the alcohol content of beverages on sight, enforcement was difficult.
The 198-acre lake is 10 miles southwest of Lawrence. It is a popular location for parties that
serve alcohol, and lake residents often complain about the noise from these parties, Johnson said.
The new regulations would permit Johnson's department to increase enforcement, he said.
The changes would permit responsible social drinking while serious disturbances could be dealt with and prosecuted if necessary, Johnson said. Such procedures have been difficult to handle.
Commissioner Warren Rhodes was reluctant to permit liquor at the lake but eventually decided to support the change because keg parties would be banned.
"When this subject came up, I
found out I had violated the law several times," Rhodes said, to which Chris McKenzie, county administrator, responded, "I would suggest you're in very good company."
Rhodes said the changes would let a family have a few beers at a picnic.
One addition to the lake's regulations would be a specific ban on outude swimming or sunbathing. The state law only had prohibited "personal exposure by change in clothing in automobiles, woods, park or any place where the person is not adequately sheltered."
Prof studies diary language change
By CAROLINE REDDICK

Contrary to many theories, language patterns change over a lifetime rather than stabilize after early exposure, a psychologist said yesterday.
Susan Kemper, associate professor of psychology, gave a speech at the forum on "Adults' Diaries: Changes in Narratives across the Life Span."
"I think that language is very fluid and continues to change across the life span." Kemper said.
"Some changes represent increased skill at storytelling — the stories become more elaborate.
Other changes reflect a loss in memory ability to remember that hinders complex sentence structure."
Kemper did a chronological study of the diaries of six men and two women in southern Illinois. All were born between 1856 and 1876 and died between 1943 and 1967. All kept a diary for at least 70 years. Five were farmers, one was a shopkeeper, and one was a schoolmaster.
Kemper said her research focused on the diary entries' changes in grammar, topics and narration.
As the people grew older, she said,
their stories became more complex,
but their grammar and sentences
became simpler.
"There's a shift from a here-and-now orientation on the part of the young people to a then-and-there orientation on the part of the elderly adults," Kemper said.
She found that adults in their 20s and 30s usually wrote about daily events, while those in their 70s and 80s were more concerned with people and events from the past.
Adults in their 50s and 60s often wrote about the deaths of relatives and friends, she said, but a focus on death usually peaked in the 60s. People in their 70s and 80s were preoccupied less with death and wrote more about people and animals who had a significant influence
on their lives.
"There were more stories about horses than anything else," Kemper said.

Clarice Mulford, Lawrence resident, attended the speech. She said her father kept a daily diary from the 1980s until his death in 1972.
"Every day he wrote down what had happened, whether personal events or things to do with the farm, she said.
"On the day he died, he didn't put it in, but I put it in for him."
Kemper said the diaries were buried in a dusty, crumbling cardboard box in the archives of a University of Illinois library.
