Short move to 'paradise' for local BBQ restaurant
By Steve Vockrodt svockrodt@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Barbecue sandwiches in paradise? Maybe so.
Fans of smoky meat could be in for a Massachusetts Street treat in two months. Vermont St. BBQ, currently at 805 Vermont St., is expected to pack its bags, buns and barbecue across the street to set up shop on Massachusetts Street.
The restaurant will occupy the vacancy left by Paradise Cafe, 728
Massachusetts St. The cafe closed its doors in January.
Vermont St. BBQ's move is still pending with the lease, but coowner Shad Woodworth said the business should be open in six to eight weeks.
Customers at the current location can expect to find the restaurant to be mostly the same, with a few additions. The restaurant will keep the same name, perhaps adding "On Mass. Street" at the end.
The move will make business more complicated, he said, but
potentially more profitable. The new location will give customers the opportunity for the first time to eat their meal inside the restaurant. The current location offers only carry-out and free delivery.
"People are begging for us to have a sit down area," Woodworth said.
The addition of a seating area will force Woodworth to hire a full server staff making the business more expensive to run.
Woodworth plans to open a full bar and wants to have local
live music acts perform. He hopes these additions will broaden the scope of his business and increase the number of customers.
The new restaurant should not have much trouble securing a liquor license since the Massachusetts Street building its moving into includes a "grandfathered" liquor permit.
The restaurant will have some trouble with other aspects of its new location. The cost of the property will be higher at Massachusetts Street than Vermont Street. In addition, the restaurant will become part of the parking battle many other downtown businesses already encounter.
Woodworth said parking would pose difficulty for carryout, a staple of the restaurant's current business.
He said he was hopeful that sit-down seating and continued free delivery would counteract any decline or difficulty in carry-out business.
Longtime customer Jarod Kastning, Lawrence senior, said he thought a bar and a seating
area would make great additions to the restaurant.
"It will be nice to be able to sit down and have a meal and beer," Kastning said.
Despite having to hire a full staff of servers and bartenders, as well as additional costs of running the business, Woodworth said menu prices should remain approximately the same. Prices will be more sensitive to the meat market rather than the change of location.

Women work to help the pregnant

Three women came together in a literary fashion with the help of a philanthropist to change lives of pregnant women.
Ginger Breedlove, along with Rachel Abramson and Beth Issacs, received a publishing contract from Zero to Three Press and a $10,000 prize. Out of 30 proposals, their book The Community-Based Doula: Reclaiming Birth, Empowering Families was among the three chosen recipients and will reach shelves by December 2005. The three of them have been working on this project since 1996.
The proposals were selected based on the compelling and unique contribution it would make to the infant-family field, according to Zero to Three Press.
Breedlove helps pregnant women find the help they need for a better future as the director of the nurse midwifery program at the University of Kansas School of Nursing.
The book describes how a program in Chicago connects pregnant teens with trained women of their community, called doulas.
A doula can offer a pregnant women support from the beginning of the process through birth and even post-partum, in areas such as emotional and physical support.
"Choosing your doula practitioner and birthplace is as important as choosing the place and person you want to marry," said Brenda Frankenfeld, member of Heartland Doulas in Lawrence.
Frankentend has served as a doula for six years. She said emotional support is the foundation for a meaningful relationship between the doula and their client.
Teresa Price, Lawrence resident, is working with Frankenfeld for the first time on her third pregnancy. Price decided to use a doula for this pregnancy because she thought Frankenfeld could offer her more support than a physician could.
stronger relationship than I would have with with just a doctor," Price said. "Doctors can be very busy and a doula can offer me support if my doctor is unavailable."
"I feel more comfortable with with a 'boulda' because we have a
Frankenfeld said working with a doctor through the birth process was important in ensuring a healthy birth. She said a doula helped to create a cohesive bond between the doctor, the mother and their self.
There needs to be a strong level of communication between the doctor and everyone involved with the birth, said John Calkins, chairman of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Kansas Hospital.
"It's like a two way road where you need communication in both directions." Calkins said
Calkins said there was no question the doulas could be helpful to the physicians. Often a doctor is trying to help more than one patient's delivery at a time. There needs to be a level of trust between everybody involved, Calkins said.
Breedlove advocates using
more community-based healthcare to build this trust and go beyond the typical nurse/patient relationship.
"If we have ethnic similarities, we see a difference in the quality of attention a pregnant mom will see," Breedlove said.
In addition to empowering the communities, the doula program would also encourage some women to go further in the medical field.
Breedlove said some of the recruits in Chicago did not have a high school degree but the program allowed them to see their true potential.
She is planning to start a program similar to Chicago's in communities with a high teen pregnancy rate such as Jackson and Wyandotte counties. But because of a lack of funding, the program is being placed on the back burner.
"The interest is there," Breedlove said, "we just lack the funding we need to get the program started."

Low-carb tag not FDA regulated
— Edited by Henry C. Jackson
That low-carb, carb-smart and smart-carb labeling may not be telling the truth.
The Grocery Manufacturers of America submitted a request to the Food and Drug Administration asking it to set legal requirements for foods that claim low carbohydrate levels.
"Basically, one food could have 20 grams of carbs and another could have 40 grams and both could claim they are low-carb." Ann Chapman, nutritionist at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said.
Chapman said that low-carb dieting was a fad. Low-carb dieting doesn't consider calories or fat — something Chapman said Mid-westerners were getting plenty of.
The Community Mercantile Coop, 901 Iowa St., an organic and local consumer goods store, is labeling foods with 10 net carbs or less to aid consumers on low-carb diets.
"We just want to point out that people can have real foods with low carbs instead of manufactured foods," Laurel Matthews, retail manager at the Merc, said.
Atkins is leading the way with the diet placing a heavy emphasis on net carbohydrates.
Net carbohydrates are the total carbohydrates minus dietary fiber. The FDA requires food manufacturers to provide these nutritional numbers for the consumer, but has not set what numbers determine a low-carb food.
The Atkins label is showing up on foods, letting consumers know which product meets the dieting requirements.
What isn't readily available to consumers are requirements Atkins Inc. places on products to carry its label.
For more on the FDA's progress on protecting consumers from false labels, go to the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition at www.cfsan.fda.gov.
