KPR promises steady aim for season finale

Kansas Public Radio’s “Right Between the Ears” team has had no shortage of material lately between Saddam’s underwear, Deep Throat’s resurgence and the fanaticism of “Star Wars.”

The season finale aims toward its namesake target with a rich array of comic guns, satirizing recent news and world events, and the typical episodes of “Fishing with Dwayne” and “Empire Motel.”

“Right Between the Ears” will be at 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. Saturday at Liberty Hall, 642 Mass.. The 8 p.m. performance will be broadcast live on KPR (FM 91.5).

Lawrence youth lauded for volunteer work

Spencer Lott, who will enter his senior year at Free State High School this fall, was honored in Kohl’s Department Store’s 5th annual “Kohl’s Kids Who Care” volunteer recognition program.

Lott, a budding puppeteer who was featured in a Jan. 4 Journal-World story, was honored for designing puppets to teach third- and fourth-grade students.

Lott was among 13 youth volunteers from Kansas who were recognized by Kohl’s. They will compete for one of 134 regional scholarships worth $1,000 each. Regional winners will compete for 10 national scholarships. Winners will be announced in July.
