City eyes kennel fire code changes after deadly blaze
Lawrence officials review fire and pet services codes to see if amendments could curb kennel fires. A Nov 29 blaze at Christal K-9, 3115 W Sixth St, killed at least three dogs and injured others, with about 60,000 in damage and 23 dogs rescued. The building lacked fire alarms and sprinklers, currently not required in Kansas kennels.

Weapons in Lawrence schools show case by case handling
In 2008 a Lawrence elementary student found a discarded switchblade and brought it to school to show friends. Kansas law defines switchblades as weapons and bringing one can trigger a yearlong expulsion, but due to no incident and no ill intent the pupil received a 10 day suspension. Lawrence School District handles weapons on a case by case basis with no arbitrary rules.
