half-empty shelves growing more disorganized as customers picked through them. Packing up an entire store takes a lot of work, but Svoboda has done it before. Inventory and equipment will be moved to different locations throughout the company. The store’s oven is going to Eldon, Mo. Wichita is getting its rotisserie. Canned goods and other items will go to area stores.
LAWRENCE But frozen foods and other perishable items would not be sent out, thus discount prices. By 9:30 a.m., they were going for half off. “I’m going to stock up so I don’t need anything until the new store opens,” joked Mary Gray, who had been shopping at that location for 30 years. Gray will have to a wait a while to shop at her favorite location again. The company said the new store, first proposed in November, should take from 10 to 12 months to complete. According to its plans, the new store will be 43,000 square feet, 10,000 square

feet larger than the current store. That extra space will be used to put in a Starbucks, spacious organic food and deli sections, and a drive-thru pharmacy. “I’m sad, but it’s going to be nice,” said Gray, who has been shopping there since the store opened. “They deserve it.” In the meantime, Dillons has set up a temporary pharmacy at the corner of 19th and Massachusetts streets to continue serving customers until the new store is ready.

funds would go toward a countywide inventory of heritage resources and administrative costs to evaluate and monitor the projects. “We would love to see some significant, sizable new projects,” Thellman said. “But people can also think small, (such as) a few thousand dollars for an architectural study or signage for a public path or historical trail.”
Conservation council Following the task force’s recommendations, the County Commission appointed a seven-member Heritage Conservation Council, which mixed advocates for land conservation and historic preservation. The council will review the applications and then pass its recommendations on to the commission. “We are interested in quality projects, ones that preserve heritage. We’re not here to give away money. We

this on the Internet, a sevenday cruise for $690, I got to take that.” Anne Walters, general manager of Travel Leaders, 4104 W. Sixth St., said her company has embraced the Internet to make their job easier, using it to send clients information about their trips as well as their itinerary. AAA Lawrence has also embraced the Internet. Jim Hanni, spokesman for AAA Kansas, said customers can book their travel online or work one-on-one with an agent at their office, 3514 Clinton Parkway. Travel agencies charge a fee, usually $25 to $30, to book airline travel. Other travel reservations, such as for hotels and cruises, are free because those companies still pay commission.
WORKSHOP A workshop from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday will help those submitting applications for funding through the Natural Cultural Heritage Grant Program. The workshop, which will review the application process, will be on the second floor of the Douglas County Courthouse, 1100 Mass. More information on the grant process can be found on the county’s website, douglascounty.com. Applications are due Sept. 23, and the Heritage Conservation Council is expected to make a recommendation by late October or early November. are here to support projects that will really make a difference,” said Ken Grotewiel, who is chairman of the Heritage Conservation Council and was the facilitator for the task force. Grotewiel said a strong application would combine elements of natural, cultural and historic importance. Other attractive projects would be those that connect a land, building or historic site to a larger story, especially if that tale links to the county’s Civil War or pre-Civil War history. In particular, Thellman said, the county
Travellers and Travel Leaders also rely on corporate travel. Walters said companies value the convenience of booking all their travel through a single account. Chris Armstrong, president of Travel Leaders, said the volume of reservations his agency makes with businesses sometimes gives them access to better deals than people can find on their own. These relationships also allow his agency to solve unexpected problems, such as flight cancellations and last-minute crises. Armstrong said an agent will not only rebook the travel but also do it without fees. Hanni also said relationships with suppliers has kept AAA competitive. “We work with preferred vendors who jump through hoops because you have a relationship with them,” Hanni said. It’s the ease of having all their needs taken care of that
would be interested in projects that have ties to Freedom’s Frontier National Heritage Area, which encompasses 41 counties that were part of the Kansas-Missouri Border War from 1854 to 1858. The county is also looking for projects that have matching funds and will improve sites that are accessible to the public. Both Grotewiel and Thellman hope this is the first of many rounds of grant cycles. If successful, Grotewiel said, the grant program could spread to the other counties in the Freedom’s Frontier area. Thellman said that one day she hopes the grant program finds a permanent funding source, such as a sales tax. As for the next round of grants, commissioners this week approved setting aside another $350,000 in the 2012 budget for preservation projects. “I think it is a program that will take years to develop and weave together that great story that helps us know who we are,” Thellman said.

keeps customers coming back, Armstrong said. “More than anything else, the relationships have continued throughout the years,” Walters said. “It’s a bond of trust.” The U.S. Travel Association’s 2010 survey, Travelers’ Use of the Internet, indicated online travel bookers grew by 3 million from 2007 to 2009. Forty-three percent of leisure travelers surveyed said the Internet decreased the likelihood they would call a travel agency; 44 percent said it had no effect. Houk’s confidence in his business has two core beliefs: People choose personalized customer service, and travel is a necessity, not a luxury. “Travel is something that people have to have,” Houk said. “If you woke up every morning and said, ‘This is what it is for the rest of my life,’ that would be a nonexistence.” — Reporter Chris Hong may be reached at 832-6354.
Host families sought for exchange students The STS Foundation is seeking families in Lawrence to host exchange students. The students are from more than 30 countries and will attend local high schools for the entire school year. A foundation representative said they were looking for as many families as possible. Host families need to provide students meals, a separate sleeping area and a nurturing environment. Students have their own spending money, and coordinators from STS will be available in Lawrence throughout the school year. The STS Foundation is a nonprofit operated in Scottsdale, Ariz. Families interested in hosting students should call 1800-522-4678 or email craig@stsfoundation.org.
