Garden City's Big Pool Opens For Summer Fun
Garden City’s Big Pool, filled with over two million gallons of water, is ready for swimmers daily from 500 to 1500, a relic of 1920s promotional feats now recycled and filtered to conserve water amid Western Kansas drought. Nearby Wichita stores report a burglary case involving nearly $10,000 in stringed instruments at Jim Starkey Music Center, with three violins, four others, and a cello taken before 6 a.m. Friday. In Clearwater, Philip Crabtree, a Kansas National Guardsman, carves cedar fallen-soldier sculptures and carries them to veterans’ funerals to collect support for veterans in need.

KanREN officials say public institutions may be less affected, while Lawrence schools fear higher costs as they expand blended online learning. Public comments on the plan are due by Sept. 10.
