Zoo bids fond farewell to two dromedary camels
Lee Richardson Zoo sent April and Camille along with six alpaca offspring to Safari Enterprises in Boerne Texas to make room for an Australia exhibit and a new vehicle entrance as part of a multi year master plan. The two camels born in 1995 and 2006 respectively joined three other camels and about 270 animals at the new site. Zoo officials cited husbandry accreditation criteria and the need to prevent inbreeding among alpacas while keeping a breeding group on site. The remaining two Bactrian camels will stay as the zoo shifts exhibit layout.

Man who escaped elevator collapse tells his story
Wade Schultze, a 49 year old farmer, survived when a grain elevator bin cracked and wheat debris trapped his truck and two teammates, Sean Banks 19 and Max Greve 21, in Russell Kansas on June 24. Banks and Greve were found deceased hours later as emergency crews worked amid a crowded scene. Schultze, shaken but unharmed aside from a re injured shoulder, attended Banks funeral and said he will contact the families to offer condolences. The accident halted harvest activity as authorities and Agco officials assessed the collapsed bins that could hold 25 000 bushels each.
