Kansas communities rebuild after twisters
By Eric Gorski
Kansan staff writer
More than a dozen tornadoes twisted through south-central and northeast Kansas last week, causing damage to many communities.
The most destructive tornado hit Hesston on Tuesday. Sixteen people were injured, and 75 to 100 homes were destroyed. Over 6,000 about 30 miles north of Wichita.
A weaker tornado, first sighted March 12 about 10 miles west of Topeka, swerved north and missed Lawrence, said Steve Kisner of the National Weather Service in Topeka. The storm damaged the town of McLouth, about 18 miles north of Lawrence.
Dave Patterson, Hesston sophomore, said he left Lawrence for Hesston on Tuesday night. His house did not sustain major damage.
Patterson said that a Pizza Hut restaurant was demolished and that trash, branches and other debris were scattered around town. He spent part of Wednesday cleaning his yard.
"We raked up pepparoni from Pizza Hut." Patterson said. "There
were two-by-four sticking out of the roof and doors laying around."
Kisner said the weaker tornado was first sighted at 11:50 p.m. March 12 in Big Springs, about 12 miles west of Lawrence. The tornado then moved north to the Perry Lake area and McLouth.
Patrick Bartlett, assistant chief of the McLouth Fire Department, said the tornado was spotted about midnight by McLough firefighters. He went door to door warning residents of the tornado.
"The sirens started going off as soon as I went out the door," he said. "We did everything possible to pre-veneer him. In my book, we were on the ball."
"The steeple was off the church, and a garage was lifted on its foundation," Bittner said. "Trees were knocked down, and there were shingles and branches laying on the street."
Earl Bittner, McLouth senior, said that he was in Lawrence when the tornado hit but that he returned to McLouth on Tuesday morning.

Elections to determine path of Germanys, professor says
By Carol B. Shiney Kansan staff writer
The main issue in the wake of East Germany's first democratic elections is the form the country's government will take, a KU professor said yesterday after the polls had closed.
"That is the big issue — what kind of leadership the country will have, what kind of mix," said Joan Holmes, associate professor of Soviet and East European studies and German. "That, in turn, will determine how the country is reformed."
Final results from yesterday's elections are not expected until today. However, West Germany's ZDF television network said the three-party Alliance for Germany would get 53 percent of the vote based on projections from exit polls. Alliance for Germany is a conservative alliance favoring quick unification.
Both Holmes and Ron Francisco, professor of Soviet and East European studies, said that they did not foresee any major problems with other countries.
Holmes said statements that West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl had made about the border between Germany and Poland had evoked fear in Germany's neighbors. However, she said Kohl had not made such statements recently.
Francisco said it was understandable that other countries would be worried about a unified Germany because of the country's history.
"What most neighbors should understand is that the best way to control Germany is to keep it in NATO," he said.
