Water main breaks strain Lawrence water system
A Water department report details July and September breaks disrupting Del Monte pet food plant and KU Tennis Center, with 108 homes affected by a Clinton Parkway outage. Twenty two Au gust to October breaks along 23rd Street forced up to six hour shutdowns for 22 businesses. Del Monte and Kmart each saw about 60 000 in downtime costs. Kmart kept operations by renting toilets and supplying bottled water. Officials cite aging metal pipes and soil stress, with plastic replacing metal to combat deterioration, and discuss funding a replacement plan targeting 2045 with potential rate increases and a steady funding stream. City leaders weigh rate options amid budget constraints and ongoing replacement goals.

Murders Return to Wake of Infamous Kansas Case
Campbell, now 64, recalls the 1961 Edwardsville murder of Albert Reed and the notorious York-Latham killings across multiple states. She describes the red 1961 Dodge Dart as the target vehicle, Reed’s plea for life, and the killers’ route from Baton Rouge to Colorado, ending with hangings in 1965. The tale spans multiple victims, confessions, and a family seeking closure.
