Cessna Carnahan suits stay against makers and estate
Jackson County Circuit Judge Charles Atwell denied Cessna Aircraft Co. and Roger Carnahan's estate from dismissal in wrongful death cases tied to the October 16 plane crash that killed Gov Mel Carnahan, his son, and aide Chris Sifford. The ruling kept the defendants in the lawsuits and rejected immunity claims under the 1994 federal age rule for aircraft liability.

Good apple crops reported in Kansas
Heat and drought blamed for smaller apples yet orchards report solid harvest across Kansas. At Steffen's Orchard near Conway Springs customers picked fruit while Suzanne Green and her son took home boxes of apples and peaches. Orchard owner Phil Steffen noted apples will be smaller but good, due to hot dry weather and partial irrigation. Ark Valley Orchard owner Jim Hardy said nightly watering preserved tree health but some losses occurred and fruit sizes dropped slightly.

Graves to meet with foster care contractors
Gov. Bill Graves plans a Wednesday meeting with five non profit groups providing foster care across Kansas. United Methodist Youthville of Newton, which filed for bankruptcy in June, is among them.
