with the eyes of the world on eastern europe and the changes taking place there it's no wonder that the eyes of the us army are doing the same thing some european countries are calling for a cut in the us military presence on the continent while others say they want to remain in washington with evidence of a decreased soviet military threat officials there say they're doubtful about any expansion of the army all this is compounding an already controversial issue right here in kansas that of a proposed expansion of the fort riley army base in the north central part of the state right now at fort riley covers one hundred one thousand acres in the flint hills area of the state are recent study by the general accounting office in washington agreed with a study that says the fourteenth another one hundred one thousand acres to provide adequate training space for soldiers major john to which is in charge of training the first infantry division or the big red one sometimes called borrow at fort riley he says it's too soon to tell what effect oversees actions will have on the base and the future or what that will be in terms of expansion for the fort the other thing that i could colonize what i've read in the army times and we're talking

about significant reductions in the size of the force reallocation forces is a possibility from your back to here and the designation of humans to disappear i mean he'd taken off the world's most of the packages just this but probably not the worst torture looks like european nations whatever the mission changes to be there are still active but which pushes for the proposed expansion saying fort riley's strong military performance in the past can be equaled or surpassed only if the expansion takes place that he says would be proved at least twice here at the national training center in the mojave desert in california playing the whole issue is that true our present lambasted last train adequately at the times science if we get that additional land we would then be able to better training to say if we don't get the additional way and then what we

have to do is we have to go in but obviously you like to go to see this will inflict yet he was but only through with the truth against the constraints of there fort riley itself has not been in charge of studying the issue do it says all the directors have come from the higher ups in washington and the ford simply follows the waters that come along until now the army has determined only that there is a need for more training space at fort riley it has not determined that fort riley will proceed with plans to attain that land for several months ford officials have examined plans that would decrease or otherwise changed the land acquisition leads they say they have now but none of them has meant for who just yesterday the commander of the first vision major general thomas rabe said that one suggestion was to lose a big one other formerly completely but he said that would not be a viable option no plans and options are still being

considered and no decisions are in imminent when kansas legislature has gotten closely involved on the now controversial republican senator nancy kassebaum says her request for the army to examine its methods for recommending land acquisition was justified but he also has been overplayed in other words she says all she wanted to do was to make sure that the general accounting office is procedures for deciding on land priorities with their children says that's not the way her statements have come across i know it do it oh yeah

i not only one topic that the army lacked them and update plan requirement that all that the army lab and then and the way well i think that what i would say is in the mind well complete oh

really oh yeah but it's not just military policy that has many other people concerned he's accurate is the president of brazil the foothills a group protesting the expansion because of environmental an agricultural concerns oh yeah as penny you know that's right

and he makes it clear that he's not against the army right right you're right do we really need it but in

iowa and i'm renee montagne senator kassebaum says she wants to walk a tightrope between attacking and defending formally she says there are too many issues at stake in the expansion issue to assume that one group will ever be completely satisfied whether that growth is the military but congress or the environmentalists it that was it and

isolation oh i'm not when they've become very common but i think you can't you obviously can't prepare a body and so you have to hope that you look at it that he did try to keep an open minded be objective about the plot the air and then you try to work to make it inside one of the ministry buildings on the family based taped onto a mobile chill narrow doorway is a pulitzer winning on the poster reads the more you sweat in peace the list you believed in will formally officials say the question is not whether fort riley will continue to sweat in this piece time the question is how much will have in which to do it in hutchinson he's been three young men are frantically slanted lines of this

video game and trying to make electronic characters on the screen and do what they're supposed to do what a man is dressed in camouflage clothing from the tops of his black boots on this cold day un has an olive green scarf wrapped around his neck the other man is dressed more conventionally and sweater and jeans that here on the grounds of fort riley army base is holding looks a little out of place this is fort riley kansas today home with some fifteen thousand soldiers it's a military machine that trains constantly but makes time for video games it's also an army base known for its discipline and rigorous standards but it's one that encourages soldiers to make time to play with their children live at fort riley at times seems almost civilian soldiers assigned here find time to go shopping they go sightseeing in kansas city and they take classic a state just twenty miles away but their primary responsibility is to their country they know that at any time they could be called on to take on military action during the recent military moves

in panama fort riley was ready for orders to move out although the orders never came within forty eight hours of deployment orders for riley is prepared to supply the army with more than twelve thousand soldiers five hundred wheeled vehicles and ten billion pounds of supplies and ammunition forty eight hours may sound like a long time to respond to military orders actually it is what fort riley is a base for reinforcement an additional supplies not an early response base the man responsible for training the soldiers to carry out any orders they might get his major john dewitt he says and for riley was the first military unit to see action at the beaches of normandy on d day and to get involved in the vietnam war fort riley's reputation is enviable among other soldiers even he says when it's time to go to the national training center in california one goes up there we table we typically do well what do you see you see that big red one patch they expect good deliver because i don't want to be you know we are here arlington has been unconvinced that there's an extra room

for the money i'm convinced that i believe it i believe this to be true i think as a unit is at this level when they go to the ntc they will crank up the level of intensity to teach you because you go higher if you are at this level they won't teach you at that level and cause you can hire the very good dad the day that i was at fort riley there were no extensive outdoor training session scheduled with the exception of a few lonely tanks roughly rolling over some of the outlying terrain of the base the absence of training it seemed significant here military rehearsals and maneuvers are commonplace and retain it's not the activities with guns and camouflage clothing that draws attention it's the other side of life that's notable i set talking with her label a fish and wildlife biologist on the base able job is to oversee them for them fourteen thousand fishing and hunting trips that occur at fort riley property and make sure that soldiers and civilians have access to view the thirty four had a

buffalo or in season to hunt some of the two hundred forty dear able is charged by federal law to protect its wildlife but so freely roam still base ground when he also has to remember that his is a military job as well somehow he has to balance those concerns and he says sometimes that's not easy there needs to be a balance on for a week we have a big emphasis on wildlife and i can't speak for other post but we have to recognize that the primary purpose of fort riley is to train a soldier and we have to get and all other uses are secondary so within the context of fish while i've been a secondary use we do emphasize a very high having a wild animal preserve of sorts on an army base may seem odd at first bible says it makes sense poachers are pretty likely to be scarce and the animals are actually safer but animals aren't the only wildlife that the race has odd though one of the sports clubs on the property was empty that afternoon it's a rough looking room with a long wooden counter wooden tables and chairs on a

hardwood floor a freezer full of all kinds of cold drinks covers a wall behind the counter it's a place to relax jukebox quietly sit in the corridor but it's ready to take up some tunes for any off duty soldier who appears to feed it with quarters manager reay coffee says it's important to have a relaxing center likens for the personnel on the base if you look at fort riley is a is a community like manhattan junction city hutchison with the same needs for years the citizens of those communities and so we have the recreational department's the victim because there are a lot of ways for riley tries to meet the needs of its residents bowling alleys swimming pools stores game rooms cafes in countering the accusation that it implicates the facilities of surrounding towns coffee says maybe they should use the options on the base instead another concern is complacency is is the army has to walk a tightrope between making things comfortable and making them too soft but he adds that having places for soldiers to relax and

enjoy themselves on the bases and wrong or dangerous in fact it says it makes them feel better about staying on base but not everyone sitting in the middle of the many restaurants nursing cold beers waiting for a pizza three soldiers said wiling away a few hours their thinking about the next few days one of them will soon be transferred i asked them what they thought about fort riley's attempts and meeting their once not just their needs they weren't impressed but they didn't criticize only the frills one of them who asked not to be identified said he was displeased with the military aspect as well even with a high tech training that the army provides so what the post has always run and the regulations that keep going and regulations doing relations are the relations for training training for

the season things are not as important as a mechanism of really are like what molecular or changes or three years there's been an intense journey trying to you you take things for us was concerned that his skills we have lots of excitement here they have to learn to move and what she was also won among the police and other trades is there's like is poseidon the bag for schilling for teenagers are coming in were especially coming out but it's a simple solution because you know that they're putting all this pressure on the soldiers get ready for and what they are they usually are insular seeing the fitness quiz so

they're small cities i'm robert siegel some summer sounds margaret's key is the public relations director for fort riley century lawrence come to find the part of well enjoyed that we're working conditions in his words and that no place is perfect says penske but fort riley tries but whether wife at the base is perfect or not the fact remains that it is busy from bowling to birds from heavy tanks to hunting trips from firing ranges to food it's all geared toward making america's fighting force the best it can be just how good it will be is the subject of fort riley tomorrow join us then as we examine a proposed expansion of fort riley and what it will mean to the fort and the surrounding areas and hutchinson ms

bee the forces protecting the united states from foreign attack or interior uprisings more than any other is the us army there are army bases all across the country and all around the world where each basis there are thousands of people live there are the military families and there are other civilians who choose to park their businesses around army base to take advantage of the spending habits of the soldiers there are former soldiers who want to spend their last years in the environment that's so familiar to them and at the center of it all is the nerve center of a part of the us army in north central kansas nestled between cities like manhattan in junction city is just such a nerve center fort riley kansas is considered by many to be a conglomerate of civilian and military life but in reality the ford is surrounded by small and medium sized towns one of them auden has one main street that ends at the entrance to fort riley

when you enter the fort a single two lane road winds its way among brick buildings they're numbered seven hundred twenty five hundred eleven but it's hard to read them from the road military police occasionally stop at intersections and watch the passing traffic just after you go in the main entrance from the talbot and on the left is the first territorial capital of kansas also on the ground says the cost her house a building whose history nobody's really sure about but readers anyway pastor either lived here for a time or this is a house exactly like it elsewhere high on a hill is a hospital on the left open fields as you drive through the base buffalo graze in a protected area there are huge urban areas for tanks drove across fort riley has come a long way from the days when it was established as a lonely midwest outpost in those days the camp was known as camp center says the servers around on the planet for the ford thought it was the geographic center of america actually they missed the mark by about ninety miles but despite a

mistake the outpost grew and by eating fifty three the army had obtained funding to build a permanent fortress on the site naming it after major gen bennet riley who is the leader of the savage reels first military escort the origin of the fords name is significant shortly afterwards for reilly became the home of the nation's primary training center for cavalry whose job was primarily to escort settlers heading west stephen king is an exhibit specialist at fort riley's cavalry museum the building houses relics and paintings of the days when traveling soldiers on horseback were a familiar sight in the midwest when he says the fort has always been the symbol of law in order well for i was in an established carter replied no western moment of sellers in as the country spare was president shocked when the santa fe an oregon trails which made it a nice location also as said in as a cottage that was they set poster before i have been getting the location with the action of the republicans will deliver free i don't frame on are easily it came

to rise about that its creativity three and recommend the size it was a nice place for boys then after that thirty four they came outside of what was in the scam center and literally came for ali as character clips the ford was one of several outposts in the midwest designed to keep settlers and developing technologies safe but as the years went on communication between the east and the west and proved it became easier for travelers to find populated areas in which to stay temporarily or settle permanently by the eighteen sixties the force soldiers were often called on to help deal with indian rates which increase because most of the military was involved in the fighting of the civil war in eighteen seventy six a survivor from custer's fatal battle of little bighorn return to fort riley he was comanche a horse that quickly took on legendary proportions at the ford after surviving his bullet and heroines as the nineteenth century drew to a close as technology increased and as the world were restless the cavalry began to show its first indication of decline before roe it was still held in high regard and even after routine protection became a thing of the past

when she says it was kept active just in case at that i feel left the store with that shift came to theirs souls with the native americans of course in western suburbs there's a key to it is at heart a fight in his run campaigns for humans are muslim to return and years and during the fall winter months when armstrong campaign which is slowly closed during the jury before that a century and thereafter with the my master stroke our school it was the characters of the country and train most of the majority of the solas announcers uncovered and then at that time it became a train goes in the course with one bill mcmahon their war to cam west in the camp for support you were also uses train train trading sites for the writers national guard regiment come through it was for rice center located which make a mean for the neighbors to respond to train organize and perform with the advent of a more modern more dangerous

society fort riley quickly made its presence felt all over the world it's soldiers became known as some of the best in the army and its reputation grew with the association with the past namely the cavalry still held it back it was time to make a change and it flies set at a gallery that's working when revelers some horses and in california still think every school clothes and care as was her at that with the focus shifting more trauma the securities see which was a coward for is replacement training center was establish a really a trade center the former warsaw in a mechanized tactics is no shifting are the idea of cowardice jaws a reconnaissance and allied attack force was doing in use but just the forces that is more vehicles like tanks a command course on cars on june six nineteen forty four friends felt firsthand the impact of fort riley the first infantry division or the big red one storm the beaches of normandy on d day in the decades to follow the big red one of

actually dubbed bro week continued to lead attacks in vietnam north africa and sicily the troops received partial congratulations from gw abrams the commander of the infantry in southern vietnam as well as five star general omar bradley nineteen forty six brought with it yet activation of the cavalry school at fort riley in nineteen fifty the cavalry itself was officially severed from the other arm for shoes and in nineteen sixty eight the force last link with equestrian past was severed with the death of chief the last couple records since then fort riley's troops continue to make twice yearly trips to the national training center in the mojave desert in california fort riley officials say the reputation precedes them tomorrow we'll talk to the commander in charge of training for the fourth to find out what it's like to look at life through a gun sight there's also a lot of wildlife that residents and visitors can enjoy on the base and wild life of another time after hours so join us tomorrow for a fort riley today he's

been he's been the main pillar of the faith tabernacle church comes to dating service in junction city churches crowd a lot because a range of different colors but i'm not talking about oh let's talk about the cover and so the church has representatives from at least fifteen different races probably would be exaggerating korean leader spanish caucasian animation reagan real reason many other faces make up the multifaceted congregation leonard west workers the sixty four year old pastor of this church if it's important for you to know he's caucasian was were doesn't think it's that unusual that his congregation is apparently free from racial prejudice but even if he doesn't think it's

unusual some others do we have some very good a few things from city most people in the city of religious people and latino membership of churches come in as difficult for some animal that's been because i don't have a problem with it but some do i couldn't explain it it's not going to be a you know the name but to find out how the congregation itself feels about racial prejudice what better way than just ask the boy i love it was a hit back in a you know you're like you know that should be beyond doubt that is that you know

why there has to be a common denominator good as you know you get used to danielle you know sociology with a common nomination ok and so you should be on cd on the cultural background to need to be in love on this because we haven't seen a bigger because they're it's all type of people here and yet in the midst of this it'll be on top of the ones getting ahead of that there's no competition it was everybody's got to take care of the audience wide how they say it might pearson was your place within it

people become terrorists and those acids in the plans to pay off big assistant

the power is back my farm it was in new york and one thousand dollars and an hour and i came here i was like me i felt like i was does that raise for donors is that was something that i really odd surprise me i never seen law companies like these that there were so many nationality and they were only one allah what sense are you conscious

no because he was in it so some especially in the us you know and we just that was one of the things that impressed me the moment because you used to see in the separated i'd be into like and they want to see what he'll do when i came and so i look at it and i thought it would be and i think we'd see the hostages men students to get that feeling what he got viruses and i'm quoting everything helping each other about caring for each other than it's you know you don't see

color anymore it might've been before the judge it says nearly everyone i talked to spoke about the inner spirit or changes that have to be made before outer changes could be seen but in recent years dealing with racial prejudices has moved from being a personal choice to being a legal responsibility while average and is a member of the hutchinson human relations commission she says it's not possible for the law to decide what's right and wrong that's where a church can come at it in churches have one powerful and families that no other girl passing fleeing the human relations commission and that is that the churches can influence what is perceived as good bad moral immoral it's a function for the churches and i realize they have a problem to that not all parishioners saving the light but nonetheless they can speak to the aspect of right wrong moral an immoral in a manner that probably no other institution can do with a racial prejudice continues or whether efforts to

end it finally will have their intended effect only time will tell but if the world continues to thrash out it prejudices and problems it's going to be one charge in junction city minn says it's going to keep on singing its theme song play it loud enough for everyone else to hear and join in a song did you know ever since the racial violence of the nineteen sixties officials at all levels of government have felt pressure to combat racism and prejudice but since the government's expertise is not exactly interpersonal relationships those activities often seen cold but in recent months kansas state university has

begun its efforts to fight racism on the local level lending or other human face to what otherwise might be a governmental robot of statistics and facts and i had to work a state sponsored a dynamic speaker patricia russell macleod she's a nationally recognized lawyer who spoke on excellence and the subject of division two thousand solberg the different excellence really comes down to would the individual being able to respond to give their capability at the time of the call and the greatest down with that individual in a lifetime would be a balance it's a necklace it defies of a newborn baby is jesse owens dna doesn't in basketball is a lot of aid in topeka when he was the one

following manhattan near campus got an ugly city officials and the interest in public that on campus because of the meeting was to talk over the problems of racial prejudice brainstorm solutions and work on how to implement them afterwards mayor glasscock said just the fact that the meeting was held means the issue is important to the public i think anytime that you come together to discuss issues in a rational way that possibly any time to come together and create a knowledge base that wasn't there before in exchange of ideas from elimination of the issues that's positive i think it's an incremental process bit by bit and you try and build block by block and i think it's one one of those beards when a statue of those blocks last june bush workers a popular bar in manhattan was the scene of an ethnic slur that cause the town to snap to attention using four letter words graffiti artists and sort of puerto ricans in the crowd for their national holidays

fights and there were confrontations that broke out local police were called and then the incident and subsequent verbal attacks by both sides continued for weeks glasscock says the city's role in dealing with incidents like the one of those workers is uneasy their limitations and there are rules a local every place and the state government plays and federal government place and i think that this is one of those kinds of issues that local government has extreme difficulty responding to and highly effective manner local government has tend to be very responsive but also has gray limitations placed upon it in a federal system and i think it's very difficult for people to recognize that a second thing is that at the local government all out war you're a little bored you are in fact extremely part time at it and i

don't say that to the end local government to do we just have to recognize what kind of government would have it at the local level now on the other hand i think that any issues of this calm we came in fact be more responsive enough to know way that sets a town set the pace setter manchester and i think that that is a role of government at all levels and certainly that local government and i think that we could do a much better job of that i think that i could do a better job of that i think with regard to either push workers is incident i was too slow to respond respond fast and i learned a lesson from a man and it's a lesson that local government ought to learn along with me and i'd become engrained in them in the main him sane but according to while efficient government and the law is a good place to start although the problem is not primarily a legal one for june is a member of the hutchinson human relations commission law may cause

resentment i think probably taking the attacks reprisal or demonstrate that but the logjam at least defined what is legal and illegal it made it can't determine what's right or wrong in terms of a person's more ways that at least can set a standard about what is legal and illegal and what is the right of each individual in regard to our governing documents so i think that the legal procedure and the political action which accompanies that becomes extremely valuable tool manhattan in double ecb president the leader russell i agree with the keynote speaker today that division need to be there to know that when it came to you at the family and tap into the community i would like to see in the local area are bred to be more of a plastic unit worked this group is working with an aunt is all a

part of one one group force and racial ethnic harmony i think that a cluster effect will be more affected in those seats in who was working on this all here we can just close to move those ideas together and will be no effect if you know because the main target people mostly relate to is do you and the evening commission from all of us all types of organizations and that's part of the diversity that this group appeared to sweden has shown that they can from all types of walking like one of him about is working to tie very small unity in this more closely is this more hands on and if you want to make a cluster impact on society it's easier to do it in a small community rather than a large one while the frigid and community this size glaring examples stand out easily they become the subject of this type of thing or a larger community an incident at some more matter

might well just be lost in the shuffle of a major news items so in that respect i think larry or third racist acts would attract a great deal more attention in a small community dillinger braswell says often dealing with racial prejudice is too theoretical there are plenty of well meaning ideas but a shortage of effective means to make those ideas work for jim says part of the problem is that racial prejudice comes in such subtle forms generally in our country that specifically and hutchinson that incidents overt racism are relatively small in number but i think over a tortilla noticed and prejudice that creates an is there because racism and prejudice is a learned attitude and we picked it up in our families and in our communities so all of us are on a continuing journey and facing fears when it creeps into ourselves laila friction as a member of the hutchinson

human relations commission tomorrow we'll examine what role religion can play in dealing with racial prejudice in hutchinson i'm david miller as doctors frequently hear the tales of people who come in for checkups complaining of exhaustion during the day a listless feeling that keeps them from their daily activities and aggravates a possible depression what these people may be suffering from is called sleep apnea a medical term that means a sleeper actually stopped breathing during the night the body becomes accustomed to that condition but the patient still suffers the consequences constantly interrupted sleep and exhaustion the next day and usually the patient is where only of those symptoms of the problem itself a condition like this prompted sixty eight year old catherine a widow who lives in great bend to seek help from abroad physician she retired in nineteen eighty four and soon discover that she and his tireless was feeling all day

long she lives on a farm and she knows that she never fell by getting into town or doing certain household chores if or she thought she was bored and lazy but she soon realized it was much more than that i think there's been a self starter but injury time and it just seemed to be having less energy less so wanting to do things you want to stay home or losing interest in hindsight activity because i just then that the energy or it just seemed to drain catherine went to her doctor but got a few results right away huge order to monitor her own activities and make notes about what and when she ate and drank and try to find some sort of pattern when the problem persisted over a couple of years she asked him to take a closer look her doctor referred her to local knowledge restore a lung specialist as brussels then sent her to say phrases medical center in wichita where she entered the narrow physiology lab for overnight

stay the sleep lab at st francis doesn't look quite like you might expect it's not a room full of computers looking down through one way glass of vulnerable patients instead chevron spend the night in a private hospital room with two infrared cameras trained on her as she slept in the next room technicians monitored seventeen times a body activity like brain waves oxygen flow and muscle movement through twenty eight separate electro it's wired to catherine's body about ten thirty the evening before the wiring process begins on a slightly apprehensive catherine larry i'm going to start measuring it here so anyway we know that the regime only place in it mary jenkins is one of the two technicians that will monitor caverns overnight sleeping habits is louisiana's economy what are they going to be monitored the brain waves

will also hear some intellectuals that will be placed on your area of your heart so that we can hear it and an obie benson lectures on your letter answer to you know correlate movement also will be on something send the letters by your eyes for our movement anyway when you give certain stages of sleep will be able to know what states like the first good staff and then we chose else on emmett else on to check here year effort for a certain you know breathing and sort of thing he hasn't promised tears in your nose in where is the president well you know during the wiring process katherine continues to ask question after question will she be comfortable

will she have the state more than one evening when she has to get up during the night mary talks or all the way through the procedure insuring her that she is just to do everything as she does normally rollover you really deeply bereaved softly show positions whatever and everything she does do will be recorded by the seventeen needles on the monitor in the next room yeah thank you a gamecock so in all twenty eight electrodes are attached and tested its eleven fifteen and the lights are turned out next door twin monitors are turned on one of them is the camera and catherine through the other is a camera in another sleep lab where unidentified man is undergoing the same tests as catholic

faith the monitors look much like skeleton as copy machines there's a paper feel right the paper travels under the seventeen sensitive needles that are numbered or in temperance movement as she gets settled once she's asleep notes are nocturnal activities unfolded so neatly into a pile in a basket on the left side as we've recovered nicely mary says governors only one of hundreds of people were tested every year for all sorts of sleep disorders well we get people that have to behead narcolepsy they fall asleep on a thriving oh some people talk about it you know it does all sorts of things like that we get cases they may have to sell several things you know how to oppress iran you know they don't mind the term taking some cases a lot of like bears to notice a combination of

things you know along with it their promise that what is most adults in some of our patients and the hair disturbs sleep or insomnia basically have a hard time when as leverage his campaign is that whichever one and a lot of them you know gradually catherine falls asleep and the mules quiet and at eleven forty one her right leg which is once twice and the needles react eleven forty eight she rolls over and the machine has to be reset twice because of the reaction of the sins of the machinery throughout the night the technicians watch what essentially looks like a freeze frame shot of a sleeping woman since catherine seldom moves now they mark the oxygen levels and any unusual readings write on the paper with a bright purple magic marker and as the hours drive slowly by mary keeps me informed it is now two forty two am

she is yet since we've been pretty well they're ekg is her regular her oxygen saturation is at this point is sixty nine percent she just recently took a real deep breath apparently i wasn't even a very big time vegetable of the brand new things rattlesnake wrangler no other particular changes at this time she's in states to sleep ames she's enormously excuse means is days to his now around seven of three am and her oxygen level at this time is at eight percent thank you at this moment she's having seven different type happiest episodes of shark give his woes central some mics and me is at this moment

eventually as lot of nascar fan at last the condition that catherine was concerned about begins to become apparent with everything noted by the production of mary and the other tradition have to do is watch with sleep apnea and catherine actually goes without breathing for a few seconds during a brief time the experts have to watch your heartbeat to make sure she's ok where there's almost nothing to worry about though as scary as it may sound average body is used to this and it's almost as if are hard just wait patiently for a star breathing again when catherine wakes up she's on hooked from all the medical paraphernalia and she's free to shower change and leave her bred out videotape and medical charts will somehow find their way to the evaluation lab where her doctor can use that information to prescribe a tree before catherine's physician and other experts will have to take a lot of things into consideration when deciding what to do about her app is her diet her choice of drinks her schedule her medical conditions will all play a part once a decision is made mary says catherine may join the ranks of those who have found relief and what is called a c pap it's a device that

opens airways with air pressure allowing for better breeding patients like catherine are reminded the doctors are nomination and will often need a few month's worth of history and details before deciding if a sleep study is needed what it is it can get expensive one night to study can cost of eight hundred dollars with additional fees for the evaluations needed afterwards only time will tell whether cavern will be able to profit from the use of a scene or any other device but whatever happens she says she looks forward to having her tired days changed and nights filled with pleasantries in hutchinson as be is is oh

yeah that's jack stewart and ron thompson are not professional actors jackie is a lawyer in saliva he spends his days pouring over log books rohn works at a truck stop on the outskirts of saliva he spends his days making change and dealing with tired truckers would for the last several weeks they've spent their evenings and some weekends getting ready to put on costumes and makeup for their roles as william al in neil simon's the sunshine boys welcome to the saliva community theater it's housed in a building across the street from burger king right downtown the a city is celebrating this year its thirtieth season about fifty miles away the arts council of council grove kansas population twenty three hundred is sitting around a kitchen table talking about what will be their third performance there is a world of difference between these two groups one established the other struggling one is secure the other feels shaky but they have one thing in common a core workers dedicated to making theater real to

the people who watched the performances dan and i freeze along with fellow council members county downs and sherry baker say they're not jealous of larger community theater groups like saliva or was it up we moved we've been around two council grove out last year from our cricket before that we've lived in omaha with of the larger communities and quite frankly larger communities and show that very theater and different activities going on it with arab dissipated when they go to something once in a while and we know that just in polls by a ticket to watch a performance of the home whereas here in a small community were actually involved with that and that is completely feeling and alvarez of jaws just the opposite i would not know anything really been involved with anything in even larger two theater because of your experience with you and doesn't offer here where there's a lot of experience in my own work early stage of the attack and you know attempted that makes a lot more valuable to me the feeling of friendly camaraderie of belonging even though the actors may not have been

trained in theater that's what community theater is all about says john that right as he's the president of the association of kansas the years and the state's community theaters for just one of the groups of his organization he says the key to establishing enjoying and expanding a community theater program is allowing the actors to be themselves or in some cases not to be themselves you get somebody who is a bank clerk during the day who were goes out in the evening and his seventy one of the kit kat club girls or you have somebody who is works in a gas station or on an assembly line or something like that all day who goes out in as nathan detroit to a shark the gambler it's a chance to escape from reality it's a chance to become another character is a chance to establish a wholesome persona and while it's the kind of thing that i don't think any of us would really want to change your personality on a long term basis it's a terrific way to do it for three hours a

night but whether they're typecast or if they're enjoying the secret identity syndrome sometimes just finding people who want to be on stage is the biggest problem that comes from danny vick the president of the hutchinson theatre guild not there when tesla have a lot of the same people and our shows but those are the people who show up over and over at each audition and you know we know those people we know what what they can do on stage that we'd love that's new faces and a lot of power a guild members say gee we sure would like to be put on a musical we all would like to do that too but you can't do that with six people didn't show up for auditions music his take on a lot of people on stage and won a backstage a help to put that on and they're very costly to do also and so yeah we want to do a new school but we can do until now we've got a commitment from enough people to be able to do but just having a bunch of actors doesn't make a good community theater from the experts themselves who you're what they say you need to start a good

community theater respectively we'll hear a cheery baker a member of the council grove arts council denny vick and john i would think probably your first thing to be in some way that they knew what they were doing and you have to play together and i would say a director fema had direct experience with maybe a professionally for staring out that and some a kid that helped you if you're acting attorney when he began when had to be there that's against it with absolutely for starters he he had been involved in a theater he knew what he was doing the best anything about it every vet school so it was tolling and i had never in an alkaline state to censor anything so i we need somebody that knew what you begin to get things organized and also to probably be held at the people to see he would fit the parts what i would suggest the first

thing you would do would be would be to put a notice in the paper saying i'm a hold of meeting for people who are interested in starting urge theater group here in stone at say the public what were you on this night get that word out let the radio broadcast it in the newspaper and then you see how many people show up that first meeting them from from that group i you can start organizing and he does a lot of things that have to be done to set up an organization but if you're starting to agree for the first time i think that your main emphasis should be ok we want to put on a play lists are what we want to put on where we're going to do it and how were in a fund it can work and all that all of these other things that have to be done such as the bylaws and a board of directors and a corporation certificates all that stuff even in the background will year but your

main objective is to reduce supply and that's that's why i would go my first advice would be to work at somebody's distract you while we call for the man with the neck my second thought would be it's a terrific thing to do we have we have just recently in andover for example watched a community theater developed from scratch they have just very successfully put on their first show here anyway it's that kind of thing it really doesn't take that much i've heard it it's basically a two step procedure first of all you find somebody who wants to do what a number two you do and it's a relatively simple process good writers says community theater is alive and well in kansas and he expects that to continue but every one of the theater leaders that i interviewed said that a theater itself can do only so much after that everything depends on the community in hutchinson mayor has

been to be or not to be hamlet's famous line is a suitable introduction to the subject of community theater as with many arts program its existence depends on its vitality there is no such thing as an on again off again community theater it either is or it is not in many communities in kansas it is cities and towns around the state have decided to create a merger and increase a community theater program but what exactly is community theater and how does it work well technically it's a program that obtains scripts of place holds auditions casts area residents in parts old rehearsals and hopefully prisons a boy to an enthusiastic house of theater goers it sounds simple but its elements danny vick is the president of the hutchinson theatre guild and the chairman elect of the state's community theater association vick says his group began forming several years ago but

until recently didn't really hold a place in the community from that time that's what we do is start planning on okay we're going to do play and see what happens and see how many people can we get that first place three years ago and i think on that now or are high attendance night was like fifty people and we didn't want not performance one day that had twelve people in the audience so we pretty much started from scratch but you got to start somewhere one of the things that a lot of people don't realize is the amount of money a theater brings in the community john petraitis is the president of the association of kansas theaters a sort of umbrella organization that oversees the state's community theaters not only do community theaters people people live there and nobody gets paid so nobody thinks of this as a financial investment people buy tickets to see that

providing a bunch of money that that theory that it uses to buy lumber and paint and fabric and things like that from the ear of the merchants in that that particular local area for the people that are attracted to these communities for a theater production generally want to grab get her before had a drink or a snack afterwards they will purchase gasoline while they're there very often they will come early for a particular show wander through the downtown area or something like that they may not even consider the area when they get there while they're there you know it's like she's got a show in that that's enough about driving through they may see a particular store that they're interested in or a shopping mall that they've never considered coming before to somewhere down the road the next weekend or things like that they will then return to the

community to work to leave somalia so is the kind of thing that in addition to being as recreational is artistic communities here is a major financial resource to a community but as the same goes you have to spend money to get money and you don't have it you can spend it so the biggest problem any community theaters faces finances where does it come from and how they get that sometimes the dollar flow has boosted by grants either by foundations or by the government there also maybe membership fees or a city's arts council may decide to help fund it charles cowart is the managing director of the salon a community theater the us cto began with just a desire on the part of two people just are some sort of theatre group in that city it's evolved into a strong active organization that employs three full time people an oddity as community theaters go the bard says his group conquered one financial problem by avoiding it as much as possible the problem was a common one where to hold the theater productions we started and now

they own washington building which was the onus one high school and that we were there for about ten years and then they condemned the building and decided to tear down we were out on the street and doing our employees just wherever we can find a place to put them on and then the board decided to see if we could build a loan facility and they talk to the business community and the city fathers and we thought there was enough support the community that we can to build your own facility so we started a fundraising campaign we raised the money and we entered into an agreement with the city which is really unique that if we built the building with private funds when the city except a building as a public facility that other groups could use more not in production they agreed to that

and we did raise the money and they had tremendous community support we both theater and actor as bill we're delivered to the city and as a public facility but while the facility is important for a community theater to continue its work don't get writer says it's not all important he thinks the leaders will be better off to get back to the basics too often we have tears the theater people especially that when they think in the end terms of theaters they think in terms of rockefeller center if you have ever been to read greek theatre from whence all this be gay and what do you have but hell are jacking area and a place for people to sit and you really don't need anything more than that you know you think back to the great nineteen thirties movies what is the year to find areas where the teachers to julian says let's do a show and so they tried to turn the old barn into rockefeller center and you know just a

few feet from i think we spend too much time worrying about facilities naturally of building used exclusively or at least partially for a community theater adds credibility something that a theater group desperately needs an easier way if that's the right term to obtain his credibility is to put on a successful production of a well known play or musical a big name that draws in the crowds off and this will light in them a spark that theater officials can then fan into an enthusiastic flame but sometimes the strategy can backfire a year ago we had plan to do a christmas carol steve mills is a past president of the theatre guild which takes a cast of about the particular version we were going to be needed like thirty people in the cast and i think we were able to get twenty people through the audition process and calls over the telephone but we couldn't get the other ten people that we needed so we finally had to cancel christmas carol and come up with a different idea for our christmas show something with a smaller casts it we knew we could would have enough

people feel like estonia production but this year they did put on a christmas carol and this time it worked presenting a play like for example a christmas carol it doesn't require a great deal of editorial judgment as far as determining content is concerned but what a community theater branches out to more daring theatrical works in an effort to expand the horizons of the audience member it risks going too far get right is us as a rationale for deciding what's right for the community can be tricky it would be terrific to see it restored psychologist and deal with a community as a group but a community is made up of individuals and a community's tastes are determined by there is not one taste for community but there are as many tastes to use that were improperly others many cases are citizens in that community sometimes in the arts you just have to say well this is not going to go over well but it's something that we are

we honestly things that we are ashamed of the community we have ministers for example who will give sermons that the bill will be unpopular with their particular congregation just for the purpose of scaring them of causing them to think that i think that if you have a theater of it is too deep iran suspends too much time worrying about not offending the community doing something land ends up killing themselves because while they are not controversy you know when he goes to see them because they're not particularly thought provoking but community theater officials say despite all the problems of organization funding and philosophy it's worth it to have a community involved that involvement is the subject of tomorrow's look at community theater we'll meet the actors we'll find out why they do what they do and find out what the expert suggesting gay she was start your own community theater in hutchinson

members be they're not what you're hearing is the sound of a lot of jewish celebration well ok it's not a traditional jewish song but it fits nonetheless last sunday symbol emanuel in wichita republican skating party for its users and the use of another jewish congregation to synagogue when i decided to have a party i didn't really expect to find each person on his or her knees contemplating the ministry of the hanukkah season but neither did i expect a fight about a hundred blue jean kids enjoying their version of a popular top forty song that you stay the same but the words had a distinctly and you

witness any now asking for it hardly seems like the way to usher in the song hanukkah season hot often seems like a jewish version of christmas except that last for eight days instead of one and some religious groups are more readily available then those of christmas well what exactly is hanukkah well if you want to start by pronouncing it correctly it's got it's a hebrew word meaning dedication according to tradition not biblical records were terrible end result was desecrated by the syrians in the year won sixty eight bc in that same year a small band of jews began to stage what amounted to grill attacks on the syrians ultimately the group called the maccabees one

and the temple was restored to its former glory a rededication service was held and one sixty five bc and as part of the celebration the maccabees led what was called the eternal light like that was intended to burn forever but because of a shortage of oil was expected to last only one day a messenger was sent for more oil but during a day's it took him to return a miracle occurred those small crews of oil had lasted the entire eight days thus the entire a day celebration of hanukkah came into being there's almost nothing in the jewish tradition that relates to a christian christmas and that is how it should be according to kenneth emirate the rabbi at temple emanuel everybody understands got and understand this as a trigger religious tradition and i respect your religion and respect christianity religious tradition in fact i'm you know i'm doing a doctorate in dublin jewish christian dialogue so for me and i very sensitive to the issue of christians jews coming together understanding of theology own

so it is saying basically do i just disregard it because i don't believe in jesus existed or don't believe what christians believe about that now was not it's a sacred holiday it's a it's a religious holiday and should be observed by christians but not by june it is a certainly a christian could know about hanukkah can understand what hanukkah is about to end and respect respect the jewish holiday of hanukkah or are observers of but it but as a christian this is not a jewish or christian visits know it's a jewish holiday and would be improper for a year christian to celebrate our jewish holidays as it would be improper for a jew a sober christian holidays for some jewish children it's been difficult to celebrate a somewhat mysterious holiday like tiger while being aware that their friends were celebrating or will the holiday like christmas but that's not to say that the kids don't enjoy their own customs

we're learning about others as well you know i saw a light in a mortar fire and you just on his goal of the tumble foreign says statements like that are what she works toward whenever i've encountered

anti semitism here and i teach a jewish identity questioned sunday school with these kids that you're just talking and you know their reaction or it off so that's the wrong reaction the reaction is to educate them so that they know the jews don't have horns and tails you know so i think that in the case of jewish tradition knowledge about customs of that culture sometimes means being a master of detail it's not easy to absorb all the origins and the symbols associated with hanukkah there are so many and the roots are sunk so deep in tradition but even the most casual observer of the hanukkah tradition knows about the menorah the elegant nine branched candlestick of the jews it's a derivative of the regional seven brass candelabra of the ancient temple each night during the eight celebrations of hanukkah menorahs candles are lit one the first night to the second and so on rabbi mr eide says there are two

branches of judaism one very orthodox and insisted on observing the letter of the law the other like his congregation is a reform group is sharing institute the spirit of the law that raises even the lighting of the minority has come to be a compromise between the two groups you put the candles in you put the kid you place the candles and from right to left which like them from left to right there is a reason for those of the discussion in the palm of those that argument a controversy between two rabbis hillel and sean and during the first century and one said you should put all the camels and the first night and then go down take away ok put eighteen and seven six five four you go down you know you put up you put one first and second he said you don't do you send in the holiness us ended when this song was the compromise you put in the kendall each night so you're

sending you're going up in all of this but you're right the candle first saw resembles the fourth night of hanukkah you place the candles and from right to left one two three for the july candle for first of three and two and one so you see a compromise within the tradition working he was sending holiness by putting into candles and from right to left but in order to satisfy this the compromise position was that you like them and you couldn't write the letter like of laughter oh tears it is the first day of hanukkah when thousands of jewish families around the nation who want their first and saying the free agent lessons the morgue the religion and culture for centuries but what that panel will be far removed from the glittering electric lights

christmas trees in christian homes to christians but havel via satellite into the eyes that you it will be a more regrettable it's not christmas of them for god was never meant to be in hutchinson and david a ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha and in the un
