Kansas State University wildlife experts say the Oct 1 KU west campus image is inconclusive whether a cougar, fox, or large domestic cat. They note the animal appears small and the photo lacks detail, with some suggesting further verification before labeling it a lion.

County teachers tax push faces short window for decision
Douglas County commissioners signal readiness to back a 1/2 cent county sales tax to finance public schools. They seek input from Lawrence, Baldwin and Eudora districts and demand a end of month decision on pursuing legislation to trigger a special election. The plan aims to raise about $5.8 million annually for all county students.

Lawrence plans to replace two-lane bridge on Douglas County Road 438
County commissioners approved a 1.6 million project set for 2006 to replace the aging two-lane span on Douglas County Road 438 with a four-lane bridge and two 6-foot sidewalks. The city of Lawrence will fund about 1.15 million from federal grants, the Turnpike Authority around 240 thousand, and the county 194 thousand. A Topeka firm will be paid 6,750 to study the best bridge type and needed changes along County Road 1055 nearby.

Douglas County plans include land and road projects
Douglas County commissioners on Wednesday mapped future actions across three areas. They will remove a dilapidated house on a county lot opposite the Judicial and Law Enforcement Center on Rhode Island Street and decide future use of the adjacent vacant lots. They will consider options for Lone Star Lake marina building, including razing, upgrading, or selling to a neighborhood association. Early next year they will decide whether to take over rural road maintenance from nine townships and study economic impacts.
