Shoesmith, 25, of Iowa City. Bryce From 3A Because of Bryce, a father of two somewhere in Iowa celebrated one more wedding anniversary this year carrying one of Bryce's kidneys. A man who suffered 25 years from diabetes is now diabetes-free with the help of Bryce's pancreas and other kidney. But the bounty of Bryce's death does not end there. Countless students at Grant Wood will spend sunny afternoons in the shade of a new maple tree planted in his honor.

The harvest continues with the Bryce Foundation. The weather kept turnout low Saturday for the foundation's first fund-raising event, which included a 10-mile kids bicycle ride and a 30- mile ride for adults, Porter said. But already, the foundation has a bankroll of about $4,000 and has had contributions from places like the University of Iowa Community Credit Union, which contributed $1,000 to help pay costs to produce Saturday's event. The Press-Citizen donated about 5,000 brochures for the foundation, and Old Capitol Printing donated half the cost of printing t-shirts for the event. Donations will help underwrite field trips in participating schools, including Grant Wood, Penn and Longfellow elementary, Porter said.

Volunteers from those schools' ParentTeacher Organizations also helped orchestrate mini-carnivals and staging areas for Saturday's fund-raiser. "One of our first events next summer will be a Prairie From 3A The real work had only just begun, however. The first summer, the grasses were hurt by drought. A few years later, too much rain further stunted development. But Rohlwing and Kent soon learned that patience truly is a virtue when trying to grow a prairie.

"Pauline told us that it would take about five to 10 years before some of the plants would be established," Rohlwing said. "Just last year we found mountain mint for the first time," Kent said. To help the process along, Rohlwing and Kent have tried to recreate the environment that allowed native prairies to dominate the Midwest so completely. One of the most important elements of that environment is fire, which for thousands of years, helped keep the grasslands free of weeds and trees. The prairie grasses and flowers, whose roots dig deeply into the soil, survived those infernos, however.

Rally From 3A north side of town." Lehman said the city also plans to extend Scott Boulevard north to Rochester to ease traffic flow on First Avenue. He said the popularity of traveling on an extended First Avenue is being overestimated. "First Avenue would not be a fun street with so many stops and school zones," he said. But critics like Brown say extending First Avenue is just a bad idea. "Extending Scott Boulevard (which runs parallel to the proposed extension), makes extending First Avenue unnecessary," canoeing trip down some of the local rivers," he said.

"In mid-winter, I think we'll have some sort of bowling outing for the students. "We also want to add an educational aspect to the programs, to attempt to teach kids about the environment, how to enjoy it and preserve and enhance it at the same time," Porter said. The time and planning involved in running the foundation has helped him heal, he added. Letters from people whose lives are better because of Bryce's organ donations help, too. "When you first get those letters, it's very overwhelming.

Just about every emotion you can think of will go through you," Porter said. "But mostly, you are just happy for those folks and thankful in some sense that Bryce is out there helping somebody lead a completely new life." Often, however, the emotions are a mixture of good and bad, he said. "It makes you miss him all that much more. But it certainly helps us deal with that and makes something positive out of a real tragedy. It certainly has taught us to appreciate what's around us and not to take it for granted," he said.

Brenda Lyle, a close friend of the family who helped organize Saturday's fund-raiser, said she i is impressed by Porter's drive to keep Bryce's spirit alive. "Bryce was just a brilliant, very giving child. He was so open-hearted and kind to every single person he met," she said. "Travis is an amazing person to go out and try to make a difference for not only himself, but for children all over the community. I don't think I'd have the strength to do what he has done." Every third year, Rohlwing and Kent recreate that process by doing controlled burns on their 30 acres.

"You can't do it without a lot of people," Kent said. "Last year we had 15 to 20 people, but we've done it with as few as 11." Kent added that the term, controlled burn, does not adequately describe the prairie fires. "It's scary," Kent said. "Sometimes those flames shoot up 40 to 50 feet." "You control it as much as you can," added Rohlwing, "but if the winds decide to Rohlwing insisted that it takes approximately 60 to 75 hours to prepare the prairie for a burn. Firebreaks must be established around the field and buckets of water must be ready along the edge.

Both insist all the work is worth it. "It's not really showy, but as the seasons change you can just watch the colors go from deep green to russet to gold," Kent said. "You can just get lost out there. The grasses are eight to nine feet high. It's like your whole environment changes." Brown said.

"Projections say if they have both Scott and First, neighborhoods and schoolchildren who live along First Avenue will be at risk, and people won't use Scott. But it is important for people to use Scott Boulevard in order for the economic redevelopment efforts there to continue. "We think the more knowledgeable people are about the issue, the more likely they will be to question it and to vote to stop the road," he added. Voters will decide the project's future in November, when a referendum will ask whether the project should be removed from the city's capital projects list. A yes vote will nix the plan.

A no vote will lead to construction..
