David’s Moving: Your Trusted Lawrence Moving Company, KS

Welcome to Lawrence! Whether you’ve lived here for decades or are just beginning life here, it’s a great place to call home. Lawrence, Kansas, is known for its unique main street that is loaded with independently owned shops, restaurants, live music venues, and an active art scene. The University of Kansas and Haskell Indian Nations University are located in Lawrence, a city with a turbulent Civil War history and friendly people. Call David’s Moving, you trusted Lawrence Moving Company.

ALSO (more fun facts about Lawrence): In addition to being the home of the University of Kansas (the first and--last time I checked--ONLY place in the US where you can get a degree in science fiction studies) and Haskell Indian Nations University, Lawrence is one of the artsiest cities in the nation, with a higher percentage of working artists (including several critically-acclaimed/award winning F&SF authors) than either LA or NYC.

It has become a little more yuppified since the 1980s, but still has a strong progressive hippie/punk vibe, with a yearly busker festival, among other things. The standard joke used to be if you want to know how many bands there are in Lawrence, just take the total population and divide by four.

The Raven Book Store, located on Massachusetts Street (the heart of Lawrence), was named the best book store in the US by Publisher's Weekly, and the downtown area is so vibrant that the lone attempt at a shopping mall ended in utter failure.

All this is barely scratching the surface, of course. With only 90,000 or so people, the city still has a cosmopolitan vibe thanks to students and immigrants from all over the world. The public library, in addition to its other offerings, has free music and video recording rooms, with all the equipment and software you need, and people to teach you how to use it.

I've lived all over the US, in Germany, and in the Philippines, and traveled a moderate bit around Europe; Lawrence (known to locals as LFK, which stands for Lawrence Fucking Kansas) is my favorite place I have ever lived, and if it weren't in Kansas, it's where we would go when we return to the US.

(If it were just @thesurestthing and me, we would head there, but as wonderful as Lawrence is, Douglas County--where it sits--is afaik the ONLY blue county in the vast red wasteland of Kansas, and we want to raise our daughter in a state where she has more rights.)

Further clarification for super-fans who want to know more about the Winchesters' home address: The central part of Lawrence is laid out in a semi-grid, with State-named streets going N-S, numbered streets going E-W, and other streets just falling in wherever. The house numbers go by street number on the N-S streets, getting higher as you travel West.

Barker Ave. becomes Connecticut at 14th St. so the lowest house number on actual Barker is in the 1400s. Connecticut ends around 6th Street, right before the river, with the last address being 600-something.

The Kaw River (which on most maps is labeled the Kansas River) divides Lawrence from North Lawrence, and there is no Connecticut or Barker Ave. in North Lawrence, so even if Barker remained Barker all the way instead of becoming Connecticut, the only place any house number under 600 could be is in the river.

Fun Supernatural fact: If the Winchester house (53 Barker Ave, Lawrence, KS) actually existed, it would be in the middle of the Kaw River (aka Kansas River).

(Source: I lived in Lawrence for 25 years, and this fact is a source of much amusement to local fans. It's because of how streets are numbered N to S on one side of the Kaw, and S to N on the other side.)

Letter from Lutiant Van Wert to her friend Louise about her work as a nurse during the Influenza epidemic, and about the rest of her life (pp. 1, 4, 6, 7), 10/17/1918

“So everybody has the "Flu" at Haskell?” 

File Unit: Contagious Epidemics, 1904 - 1941

Series: Subject Correspondence Files, 1904 - 1941

Record Group 75: Records of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, 1793 - 1999

Transcription:

(Copy)

                                                                         231-14th St. South East.

                                                                         October 17, 1918.

Dear friend Louise:

     So everybody has the "Flu" at Haskell?  I wish to goodness Miss Keck and Mrs. McK. would get it and die with it.  Really, it would be such a good riddance, and not much lost either!  As many as 90 people die everyday here with the "Flu".  Soldiers too, are dying by the dozens.  So far, Felicity, C. Zane, and I are the only ones of the Indian girls who have not had it.  We certainly consider ourselves lucky too, believe me.  Katherine [first e was struck through] and I just returned last Sunday evening from Camp Humphreys "Somewher in Virginia" where we volunteered to help nurse soldiers sick with the Influenza.  We were there at the Camp ten days among some of the very worse cases and yet we did not contract it.  We had intended staying much longer that we did, but the work was entirely too hard for us, and anyway the soldiers were all getting better, so we came home to rest up a bit.  We were day nurses and stationed in the Officer's barracks for six days and then transferred to the Private's barracks or hospital and were there four days before we came back.  All nurses were required to work twelve hours a day--we worked from seven in the morning until seven at night, with only a short time for luncheon and dinner.

I was so tired I never took special notice, but I thought I had my own bag.  When I opened it to get out my comb and powder--behold!  There was a kit-bag fully equiped and a knitted sweater in it, plus a few other trinkets'.  I knew then, whose aag I had, so checked my suit case and started out to look for this soldier and exchange bags, as I thought he had mine.  After walking around 45 minutes I began to despair of ever finding him and started back to the Ladies room and I came upon him sitting in one corner.  I recognized my bag right away and went to exchange.  He was simply so tickled to get his bag back he almost squeezed the life out of my hand when he shook it.  I had my card and destination tacked on the handle fo my bag, so he found out where I was going without telling him--and as fate would have it--he was going to D. C. too, so we traveled the rest of the way together.  He is a perfect gentlemen, and sure treated me nice on the way.  Since I am located here, he has been down to our house twice to see me since I came back from  Camp Humphreys, and he sure wants me to come down to Potomac Park as a nurse.  He is not what one would call "handsome" but he is certainly [underlined] good-looking [/underlined], and on top of all that--he is a CATHOLIC.  Sure like it for myself too.  All the girls have soldiers--Indian girls also.  Some of the girls have soldiers and sailors too.  The boys are particularly crazy about the Indian girls.  They tell us that the Indian girls are not so "easy" as the white girls, so I guess maybe that's their reason.

A lot of the girls from the Office here go out to sell bonds but some of them dont make much of a success.  One of the Indian girls, named Cathryne Welch, went out last week to sell bonds and she sold so many that she got escused  from the Office for the rest of this week to do nothing but sell bonds.  She is a very pretty girl--a high school graduate and one year normal.  She has two brothers in the army--one is a Captain and the other a Sargeant.   Maybe you remember seeing Capt. Gus Welch's picture in the K. C. Star--well that is her brother and he "over there" now.

     All the schools, churches, theaters, dancing halls, etc. are closed here also.  There is a bill in the Senate today authorizing all the war-workers to be released from work for the duration of this epidemic.  It has not passed the house yet, but I can't help but hope it does.  If it does, Lutiant can find plenty of things at home to busy herself with, or she might accidentally take a trip to Potomac Park.  Ha! Ha!

     It is perfectly alright about the sweater.  I dont expect you to be able to get it while you are quartined, but will still be glad to have it if you can send it as soon as you are out of quartined.  It is rather cold in Washington, but not cold enough to wear winter coats yet, and my suit coat is a little too thin, so I figured out that a sweater would be the thing to have.  Sometimes it is cold enough to wear a wrap while working, but of course it is out of questio[n]

[page 4]

to work in a heavy winter coat.  However, send it whenever you find it convenient to do so, and I will settle with you as promptly as possible.

     Well Louise, if you are not dead tired of reading this letter, I'll write another like it some other time.  There is still a lot I could tell you about D. C., but it's nearing lunch time and I want to be right ther on the dot, as I always am--to be sure.

     Write again whenever you fine it convenient to do so--always glad to hear the Haskell news from you.

                                            Sincerely your friend,

                                            (Signed) Lutiant.

Address same as before.

The campus is closed due to COVID-19 but Parker was able to remain in university housing due to extenuating circumstances.

According to Parker’s account of the incident, on April 8, Parker was hitting golf balls on campus when the acting facilities foreman, Stephen LaCour, approached him. LaCour repeatedly told Parker that the campus is closed to the public, but Parker assured him that he was a student and that he was currently living in the campus’ Winona residence hall.

Parker says that LaCour asked for his student ID and parking sticker for proof of enrollment which brought his attention to Parker’s car parked in a “no-parking zone.” According to Parker, he pointed out to LaCour that no one has ever told him to move his car from the area before, but LaCour was adamant that it be moved. When LaCour turned to drive away, Parker says he  responded, “Are you on some kind of power trip?’

Parker says that LaCour then threatened to have Parker’s car “ticketed” or “towed.” Parker replied, “You’re being an asshole.” After LaCour questioned if he called him such a name, Parker replied, “NO! I said you’re being one.”

Following this exchange, a security guard arrived on the scene at the request of LaCour. According to the incident report filed by LaCour, the employee made this decision because he noticed that Parker had a golf club in his hand and was becoming “very agitated.”

On April 10, Parker was issued an HINU Action Notice from University Student Rights Specialist Danielle McKinney on the basis of “violence indicating threats to one or more federal employees.” The consequence issued was a “temporary emergency suspension level 2 with a recommendation for PERMANENT LOSS OF HOUSING”.

Kansas Trails (KHS #9)

Kansas has a long history of trails. Today every where not on a coast is a "fly-over" state, but in Kansas this transportation history goes back to prehistory. Ancient river valleys made for game trails, which later would be followed by Native Americans. When European settlers arrived they used the same trails. These would become wagon train routes and rail lines. In the 20th century the same routes are now part of the highway and interstate system.

Kansas Historical Marker #9 celebrates this history. Its located at a rest station on I-70 east of Lawrence.

The marker can be hard to find. The rest stop includes a McDonald's and a gas station. The gas station staff hadn't heard of it, but you can find it on the west side of the McDonald's. Grab a McRib while you are at it.

While writing this, a friend commented that placing a marker at an interstate rest stop seemed tacky. In this case it is totally appropriate. The interstate is a continuation of the various kinds of trails that have crisscrossed Kansas for centuries. It invites a connection between our modern traveller's and those across history.

Also located at this stop is a Jayhawk statue. Lawrence has these scattered across town and exploring to find them is a fun game.

What else is nearby? Lawrence is also the home of Haskell Indian Nations University, which is unique. Northern Lawrence is the historic downtown and still contains a few restaurants and businesses. The modern downtown is just south over the bridge where you can find a variety of popular restaurants and shopping destinations.

I have spent a little time around Haskell Indian Nations University the last couple of years, and that time has made me much more viscerally aware that the land we live on was stolen, at a brutal cost to the people it was stolen from. So I can’t celebrate Thanksgiving by cheerfully passing along the story of the pilgrims to my son. But I believe it is right to take a day to give thanks for whatever good might be in your life. So today, I will enjoy my family. We will eat good foods. We will take some moments to offer up our thanks. And we will temper that with a bit of humility, hopefully.

Phog Allen: Dinner and a Basketball History Lesson

On October 31, we’ll induct the legendary Phog Allen into the Small College Basketball National Hall of Fame in St. Joseph, MO.  Through this process, I’ve been in contact with Rob Allen, the grandson of Phog Allen.  On Thursday night, Dr. Jim Poteet and I were so very fortunate, as we were invited over to the Allen’s house for dinner and a tour of their basement/museum.  For two basketball and history junkies, it was a real treat.

Rob and Wanda Allen were tremendous hosts.......They treated us so well, and were so kind to us........ Here’s a “selfie” of Dr. Poteet and I in the museum.....

So, for those that don’t know a whole lot about Phog Allen, well....... If you really care about the history of our great game, you should know about Phog Allen.  He’s known as the “Father of Basketball Coaching”.  He is the Founder of the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC), and he was the driving force to get basketball to become an Olympic sport, and his efforts were rewarded when basketball was first played as an Olympic sport in 1936 in Berlin, Germany.  

He coached a Baker University, Haskell Indian Nations, Central Missouri State Teacher’s College and eventually, Kansas University.  When he finished his career, he had won more games than any collegiate basketball coach, and had won three NCAA National Championships at Kansas.  In 1952, he led the Kansas Jayhawks to the NCAA National Championship AND coached the U.S. Team to the 1952 Olympic Gold Medal.

He recruited Wilt Chamberlain to Kansas, yet never got to coach him (Wilt played on the freshman team while Phog was the coach, yet KU had a mandatory retirement at age 70 at the time, so he was forced into retirement).

As many of you know, the famous Allen Fieldhouse at Kansas was named in his honor when it opened in 1955.

There is so much more......and I encourage you to take some time to learn about the Father of Basketball Coaching, Forrest “Phog” Allen.

Here’s his Wikipedia page:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phog_Allen

Here are additional articles on Phog Allen:

Billy Mills will receive an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters Degree

Not a month goes by without our “own” Billy Mills – Olympic gold medalist, Running Strong for American Indian Youth national spokesperson, Native American rights activist, and advocate for Native children– being in the news.

This month, his alma mater, the University of Kansas, announced that he will soon be able to add another distinction to his already long list of recognitions – that of Doctor of Humane Letters – “for his outstanding contributions to improving the lives of Native Americans and commitment to lifting the voices of diverse and underrepresented people.”

Billy will receive the honorary degree at KU’s 147th commencement on May 19, 2019. His nomination and that of two others was approved on November 7 by the Kansas Board of Regents.

“Billy Mills, Elizabeth Broun and Teruhisa Ueda have made lasting contributions to our world,” said Chancellor Douglas A. Girod. “They embody the mission of the University of Kansas and serve as role models for students, faculty, staff and individuals throughout society who want to make meaningful contributions to the world around them. I am thrilled for the chance to recognize these three exceptional individuals at Commencement, and I know their presence will make the day that much more special for our graduates and their families.”

In the announcement, KU noted Billy’s background and the reasons the Board of Regents selected him for the honorary degree:

Billy Mills is a member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe and grew up on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Mills attended Haskell Indian Nations University and the University of Kansas. He attended KU on an athletic scholarship and was a three-time NCAA All-American cross-country runner. During the 1964 Summer Olympics, Mills won an Olympic gold medal in the 10,000 meters, and he remains the only American to ever win the event. Mills' win in the 10,000 meters is considered one of the greatest upsets in Olympic history.

Mills is a co-founder and national spokesperson of Running Strong for American Indian Youth, an organization that aims to help American Indian people meet their immediate survival needs while creating opportunities for self-sufficiency and self-esteem in American Indian youths. In 2014, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of his gold medal, Mills started Dreamstarter, a grant program to jump-start the dreams of American Indian youths.

Mills is the recipient of many distinguished athletic and humanitarian awards, including the 2015 President's Council Lifetime Achievement Award, NCAA's Theodore Roosevelt Award and 2012 Presidential Citizens Medal. He has been inducted into the National Distance Running Hall of Fame, the American Indian Athletic Hall of Fame and the United States Track & Field Hall of Fame.

Billy was also honored earlier this month at a ceremony where a school in Lawrence, Kansas – Billy Mills Middle School – was named for him, “the only public school to bear the name of a Native American public figure,” reported Indian Country Today.

Indian Country Today noted, “In February of 2018, the Lawrence school board voted unanimously to change the name of South Middle School to honor Native Americans and the success of the 1964 Oglala Lakota Olympic Gold Medalist Billy Mills. Friday also marked the school’s 50th anniversary.”

“Patricia and I are thrilled and humbled to be a part of your community, I spent 9 years in your community,” Billy told the crowd gathered in his honor. “Your community is our community. It was where a dream was born for me.”
