Lake releases raise anxiety over Missouri River navigation
The U S Army Corps began releasing water in July from Perry Milford and Turtle Creek lakes to maintain river flows for navigation on the Missouri River below Kansas City. Boaters face deeper hazards when levels fall, and officials say no further releases are planned, though some urge permanent solutions.

Cicadas likely to swarm this year despite no brood year
Experts say cicadas are not annual insects and may follow two to four year cycles. A possible population spike this year could occur if a prior brood was larger, but researchers remain unsure about numbers. Factors like underground pests and birds also influence emergence, and observers note the current chorus is not evidently louder than past summers.
