The highest point in Rhode Island is Jerimoth Hill, which for years was the only "highest point" of the 50 states that could not be accessed. The land was owned by a citizen, Henry Richardson, who threatened and insulted trespassers. In 2005 he sold the land, which now accommodates visitors.

Professor Michelle Hayes
I teach in the Music and Dance department, but I teach dance.
2. Why did you decide to teach at the University of Kansas?
1. In what department do you teach?
BY RICHELLE BUSER
I graduated from the dance program at KU in 1991. I danced professionally, worked as the artistic director at the Colorado Dance Festival and had worked on several funding panels. I had become too busy to teach dance and I just really felt that it was my true calling. When my mentor, a KU teacher of mine, retired last year, there was an opening for her job. I decided I wanted to live as an artist and teach again.
3. What is your favorite thing to do outside of dance?
After graduating from KU, I eventually went to the University of California at Riverside where I earned my PH in dance history and theory.
I love experiencing live music, doing yoga and reading.
4. Where did you get your degree?
5. What is your favorite thing about Lawrence?
I love that Lawrence combines
cosmopolitan art, culture and food with the simplicity of a small town.
6. What is something your students don't know about you?
7. If you had any other career,
what would it be? Why?
Before becoming a professor, I was constantly performing. At their age, I was working hard and knew that dancing was my calling. I have always been a passionate performer.
I would be a midwife. I would love to be a guardian of new life coming into the world.
9. What was the best class you took while in college?
10. If you lived anywhere besides Lawrence, where would it be? Why?
8. What's your favorite food?
Olive oil. I love Mediterranean
food and all of my favorites con-
tain olive oil.
An English class about African American writers. It was truly life changing.
I'd enjoy living in Spain. The flamenco is my favorite dance, and if I lived in Spain I would be minutes away from others that enjoy this dance. It's difficult to find people that share my interest for the flamenco here in Kansas.

Jumping wallaby sighted in Pennsylvania backyard
FLEETWOOD, Pa. — Berks County Humane Society employees are trying to get the jump on a wallaby
Residents have reported seeing the creature hopping around town. It's unclear how one ended up about 50 miles northwest of Philadelphia.
Wallabies, which look similar to kangaroos, are native to Australia and Papua New Guinea.
The agency received its first report of a wallaby sighting on Monday from a man who had seen the animal in his backyard over the weekend, humane society officer Dylan Heckart said.
Officials have since set traps baited with food in areas where the creature has been seen, said Heckart.
Members of the public were advised to keep their distance if they spot the animal.
"They're violent when confined or restrained! Heckart said Tuesday, noting wallabies' powerful kicking legs. "They can definitely injure a human being badly."
The Leigh Valley Zoo, 20 miles away in Schneckville, said it was not missing a wallaby.
Third time's the charm for Parakeet owner
BRADENTON, Fla. — Teaching a parakeet to putt is no tap-in.
David Cota spent months training his parakeet A., to use a tiny titter to sink putts on a miniature green.
"It doesn't look all that tough nowadays, but try to get a bird to hold a little stick basically in its beak," Cota said. "The first time, he snapped it right in front."
A. J. can also dunk a tiny basketball on a tiny court. He rolls over. He shakes. He plays dead.
The 5-inch-tall bird became an Internet video star thanks to Web sites like YouTube. A.J. also has a MySpace page and a Web site.
Cota, 38, owes his fame to two dead parakeets.
The first bird belonged to a college girlfriend. Cota was left to care for it, and it died.
"A fluke," he insists. He tried to slip in a replacement parakeet — and ended up single with plenty of free time to train his new pet parakeet, ...

Reverend and Rabbi share kidneys, accord
PHILADELPHIA — Talk about in-
terfaith association Methodist Rev. Karen Onesti has donated a kidney to Reform Rabbi Andrew Bossoy.
The two leaders of congregations in the Philadelphia suburbs of Mount Laurel, N.J., underwent kidney transplant surgery Tuesday, said Rick Cushman, spokesman for the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, where the procedure was performed.
"Everything went exceptionally well," Cushman said. "The procedure was a success and the prognosis is success."
The surgery took just over 3/12 hours. By Tuesday night, both patients were awake and visiting with their families.
The clerics have known each other for four years.
