Judge rules for privacy in underage health care reporting
Judge Marten upheld privacy protections for adolescents in Kansas health care, ruling the state cannot broaden mandatory reporting to require all information about youths sexual activity. The decision preserves doctors' confidentiality while requiring reporting when injury from abuse is reasonably suspected, and comes as Kansas officials discuss abortion and child rape probes.

Noise protest falls flat over decibel enforcement
Lawrence city leaders and the police voiced concerns about enforcing the noise ordinance as students protested downtown. Neighbors urged keeping the law, while KU students argued enforcement harms innocent residents. A petition with about 400 signatures urged changes, but commissioners paused any reforms. Construction noise concerns led to a staff meeting with neighborhood and construction leaders.

November vote on library plan unlikely
Bruce Flanders, director of the Lawrence Public Library, told commissioners it was unlikely a plan to build a new downtown library would be far along enough to seek voter approval in November. An April 2007 election, aligned with city commissioner races, would be more realistic for design. Commissioners have not set a site or green light, while a committee reviews public private proposals due May 4.
