Sheriff describes possible witnesses

The Douglas County Sheriffs Office, in its continuing investigation into the death of Christopher Bread, is seeking public help in finding two men for questioning.
Several people called the sheriff's office offering leads after seeing composites released Friday. Authorities are looking for two men seen pushing a moped on 15th Street about one mile east of Lawrence on March 2, the night Bread died of a brain fracture, said Sherif Loren Anderson.
called in to review reports and slides taken after Bread died.
Sheriffs officers are waiting for an opinion from a third pathologist
Michael Graham, a medical examiner from St. Louis, is reviewing records to make sure that no evidence has been overlooked, said Carol Moddrell, Douglas County coroner.
The men are possible witnesses to Bread's death, he said. Both are described as white men in their mid-20s. One was seen wearing coveralls and a stocking cap. Authorities think he has brown hair and is about 5-foot-9.
The second man was seen wearing square wire-rim glasses and a stocking cap. Authorities think he has been working for the police in its 5- to 5.5-weight 165 to 170 pounds.
Graham's report should be received by Wednesday, Moddrell said.
Anderson said the sheriffs office decided to seek a third opinion within a week after receiving a pathologist's opinion that Bread was struck by a
moving vehicle.
"The whole incident is not very typical." Anderson said. "The injuries are somewhat clouded to the extent that they need to determine what caused them."
He characterized the injuries as being "pretty severe."
The department has received no response to a 55,000 reward, offered March 27, Anderson said. Anyone wishing to provide information can call the sheriff's office at 814-007 and or 843-0250 or write to P.O. Box 442292, Lawrence, Kan., 60044.
Med Center wins in game on wheels

The sound of clashing metal, bouncing basketballets and screeching rubber pervaded the University of Kansas Medical Center on Saturday as non-disabled and physically disabled people squared off in a game of wheelchair basketball.
The event, which featured Kansas City area sports and media celebrities, was the second annual KU Wheelchair Basketball Game planned by the Department of Rehabilitation Medicines Fund Raising Committee.
The money raised from ticket sales and sponsors will benefit the Patient Welfare and Patient Education Funds at the Med Center, said Cheryl Carpenter, coordinator of the basketball game.
Carpenter said she thought that wheelchair sports were therapeutic and that they helped physically disabled individuals develop upper-body muscle strength
The committee organized the teams so that each would have both physically disabled individuals and players compete in wheelchairs.
"It's a mix, because if we had physically challenged versus non-physically challenged, the physical challenge would win," she said.
The teams were composed of athletes ranging in age from 13 to 45. Among the players were Wendall Anschutz, KCTV news anchor, Dax Flanagan, Shane Steadman of the Kansas City Comets.
Brent Stafford and Steve Burger were selected as most valuable players from the teams. Both are members of the Kansas City Rolling Pioneers, an athletic group for people who use wheelchairs.
"If you're like me and you wished you could have played athletics, it's a chance to feel good about yourself," said Fisher, who is also an active wheelchair basketball player.
randy Fisher coached the winning team, the Jays, to a 39-34 victory against the Hawks.
Stafford, a computer graphics consultant from Kansas City, Mo., said that wheelchair basketball was a demanding sport that helped physically disabled people gain independence.
"I think that not just wheelchair basketball but all wheelchair sports in general help a disabled person's attitude and give them a winning attitude toward life," he said.
Burger, who has been playing for 10 years, said wheelchair basketball was more demanding than stand-up basketball because the players had to rely on their arms for both mobility and shooting accuracy.
Pat McCoy, another member of the Rolling Fioneers, officiated the game. McCoy had referenced college and high school basketball for 14 years. He said that he started playing wheelchair basketball that wheelchair sports could be played by anybody at any age.
"One thing about wheelchair sports is that you can play actively until you're 40 or 50," he said. "What's the first thing that goes out on professional basketball players? Their knees. Well, we don't have to worry about that."

 junior, said he witnessed the battery from a balcony at Hanover Place on a fire alarm and saw a screech of trees and a crash.
After bumping the car, both McGivern and Wilenborg got out of their car to look at the damage, Kolanowski said. When it appeared that they were not going to report the incident, Sharon, who was with his wife and two children outside his house north of the apartments, approached them, Kolanowski said. Sharon said he would call police and report the accident if they did not, Kolanowski said.
"from there it escalated to the fight," Ko'nawowski said. "I really couldn't tell you who started the fight; I'd have to say the guy who hit the car. If he wasn't drunk, there wouldn't have been a fight."
Kolanowski said the fight was a brawl, with lots of kicking, punching and shoving. He said Sharon received a knot above his eye and a swollen nane. Sharon also had blood on his pants and both Willenbill and McGivern had swollen faces, Kolanowski said.
Kolanowski said that during the fight, Sharon's wife and two women who were in the car McGivern was driving tried to break up the They were not injured and Kola-who, who also tried to stop the fight.
