Crumbling Ottawa Building Faces Prolonged Demolition
The 130 year old 124 S. Main St. structure in Ottawa, former Hometown Computers site, is decaying with bricks falling onto neighboring properties. Ottawa city commissioners voted to remove the third story, awaiting Kansas Historical Society review within five days. Demolition would be gradual, eight inches at a time, pending a safe plan protecting neighbors and the historic district. The owner must work with the city to finalize a plan for possible full or partial demolition to prevent further damage.

Partisan take on Keystone pipeline politics and jobs
Ottawa writer Andy Heintz argues the Keystone pipeline debate is politically charged with Republicans accusing Obama of kowtowing to environmentalists. He cites Cornell labor study estimates of limited job gains and potential net job losses, while acknowledging TransCanada projections of many construction jobs and criticising political games on both sides.
