Police stop leads to man’s arrest on suspicion of drug charges By Nikki Wentling nwentling@ljworld.com
An 18-year-old man is being held on a $22,000 bond after officers with the Lawrence Police Department discovered a “significant amount� of marijuana in his vehicle Friday night, according to police. An officer stopped a vehicle near milepost five on Kansas Highway 10 around 11 p.m. Friday after it made
an illegal turn at 23rd Street and O’Connell Road, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Trent McKinley. While talking with the driver, the officer smelled the odor of marijuana, McKinley said. Police said the occupants were then asked to exit the vehicle, and one man was arrested without incident. “A backpack containing a significant amount of marijuana was found, along with other items that indi-

ment. “He just lived a big life,â€? said KU architecture professor Stephen Grabow, who lived next door to Lesnikowski and at times co-taught a studio class with him. “He thought if you did something, why not go further ‌ He just made things happen.â€? Lesnikowski grew up in Poland under Nazi occupation before seeing his country come under control of Communists during the Cold War. He earned a master’s degree from the Krakow School of Architecture and Urban Planning and worked in Poland for several years as an architect. But to flourish in his career, he saw he would have to leave his native Poland and head west, Grabow said.

building shows the Kansas University Medical Center is “moving forward as one of the best places to get a medical education.� KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said the promise of state-backed bonds will help ensure more private contributions. “This is a critical first step� to launch the project, she said. GrayLittle said she hoped the building could be finished within three years. KU officials say a new health education building
— Stephen Grabow, KU architecture professor And so in 1965 Lesnikowski walked in to the Paris office of Le Corbusier, one of the most famous architects of the 20th century, where he would intern. From Paris he moved to New York, working at the firm Harrison and Abramovitz beginning in 1970. As an architect Lesnikowski worked on large conceptual buildings — skyscrapers, airports, courthouses and cultural centers. He often dove right into grand, sometimes whimsical concepts. “He had no fear,� Grabow said. Before accepting a is needed to train more health care professionals and accommodate a modern curriculum. The currently used Orr-Major building, which opened in 1976, has $5.3 million in deferred maintenance, and its rooms are designed for large lectures instead of the now-preferred smallgroup classes, according to KU. It is also at capacity with a class size of 175 students. With the new building, KU will increase the class size by 25 to 200 students in Kansas City and another 25 students at other campuses. Beka Mullen, of Overland Park, in her fourth year of medical school at KU, said the importance

cated the marijuana may be for distribution,� McKinley said. Philip Clinton Hawley, of Lawrence, was booked into Douglas County Jail on suspicion of possessing a controlled substance and possessing drug paraphernalia, charges that each carry a $1,000 bond, as well as unlawful distribution of a controlled substance, which carries a bond amount of $20,000.

BRIEFLY Man arrested on suspicion of car theft A Lawrence man was arrested Sunday morning for allegedly taking his roommate’s truck and crashing it into a parked vehicle, according to police. Officers were called to the scene of a noninjury accident in the 800 block of Massachusetts Street around 11 a.m.

Sunday, Lawrence Police Sgt. Trent McKinley said. There, they observed that a white Chevy pickup truck collided with a parked vehicle. Officers located the suspect soon after the incident. “It was determined the truck was a work vehicle, entrusted to the suspect’s roommate and owned by the roommate’s employer,� McKinley said. The suspect’s roommate
told police that the truck was taken sometime overnight without permission, McKinley said. Inside the truck, officers discovered drug paraphernalia belonging to the suspect, according to police. Jonathan Paul Moseley, 28, of Lawrence, was booked into Douglas County jail on suspicion of theft and possession of drug paraphernalia. He’s currently being held on a $2,500 bond.
dark,� O’Brien said. “All the rides I have had are very neighborly.� O’Brien also said she does not use the service at night. O’Brien said she began working on the concept more than a year ago because she was looking for a way to get from her Jefferson County home to Lawrence without using her car. She said the program provides more flexibility and potentially a greater geographic reach than a traditional public transit bus system. O’Brien has now quit her regular job, and is focusing on developing the Lawrence OnBoard program full time. She said the concept has gotten attention from national transportation groups, and she is in discussions with a technology company that makes smart phone applications for ridesharing. She hopes to begin offering a full-fledged program by this time next year. Commissioners meet at 6:35 p.m. tonight at City Hall. million in a FICA refund, related to the medical school, and allocated those funds to other parts of the state budget. Also at the event were Dr. Doug Girod, executive vice chancellor of KU Medical Center; Regents Vice Chairman Kenny Wilk; Regent Ann Murguia and several legislators.
distinguished professorship at KU in 1988, Lesnikowski taught at L’ecole Des Beaux Arts in Paris, the Pratt Institute in New York, Yale University, Cornell University and other schools. He used his connections to architects in Paris to develop a program overseas for KU students and also helped develop a program in China. As a teacher Lesnikowski worked hard to help his students get ahead, though he could be frank, even “naively aggressive,� as Grabow describes him. “He challenged people to think.� A prominent figure in Poland, Lesnikowski was awarded the Krakow Laurel Award from the city of Krakow in 2013. A public service for Lesnikowski will be at 11 a.m. Friday at Corpus Christi Catholic Church. Warren-McElwain Mortuary is handling arrangements.
“Everybody who has tried it so far is just astonished at how easy it is,� O’Brien said. “It is astonishing how quickly you get a ride.� The proposed program has two main elements: l Members of Lawrence OnBoard will be equipped with a folding white board with a logo. The rider will write his or her destination on the white board, and then pick a safe place to stand alongside a city street. Members will undergo a background check and be issued a photo I.D. card. l Drivers are not required to register or undergo a background check. Any motorist can choose to pick up someone holding a whiteboard. For security purposes, Lawrence OnBoard suggests that riders send a text message to the Lawrence OnBoard office when they get into a vehicle. The text message could include the
membership number of the driver — if the driver is a member of Lawrence OnBoard— or the license plate of the vehicle. O’Brien and a group of volunteers tested the system last year, and then realized there was a city law that would hamper the program. O’Brien in December briefed commissioners on the program, and commissioners directed staff members to research the issue. In a memo to commissioners, the city attorney’s office said it can recommend a 60-day exemption for the Lawrence OnBoard program in order to give organizers more time to test the concept. But the memo also notes that the Lawrence Police Department “cautions that safety should be a priority in conducting any such ridesharing program.� O’Brien said she is working on creating a detailed security plan for the city to review in future months. “Recording that ride is like shining a bright light on the activity, and crime prefers to work in the
of the new building “cannot be overstated.� She said the new building will allow more interactive classrooms and superior technology that is needed to compete with other medical schools in attracting the best students. The bill passed by the Legislature earlier this month includes $25 mil-
lion in bonding authority for a new building. KU has identified $15 million in internal funds for the project, which means it needs approximately $35 million more. Kansas Board of Regents Chairman Fred Logan noted that officials have been working on the proposed building for several years.
“Nothing great in government ever happens quickly,� he said. The measure also includes restoration of many of the cuts to universities that were made by Brownback and the Legislature last year. While the bonding authority was included in the appropriations bill, the Legislature took $24
