Ottawa City Rejects Major Revenue Sharing For Softball Hall
Ottawa commissioners clashed over 1981 revenue sharing requests totaling 93,130 for five groups including a 50,000 grant to study a new four diamond softball complex and a 25,000 library maintenance fund. City and library officials warned the funds would not significantly fix the aging building and urged bond or tax options. A second hearing is set for Aug. 18.

Biogenic life advocate drives cross state lecture tour
Terry Lee Colburn of Lake City preaches biogenic living across Kansas from his Amish buggy. He sustains himself on one daily meal of simple seed and grain foods, travels 15 to 20 miles daily with Benjamin More the horse, and gears toward immortality through spiritual and physical purity. He studies, lectures, and plans trips to England and Pittsburg, teaching the esoteric sect’s principles rooted in ancient Essenes and a No-Meat diet.

Drop Charges In Hit And Run Case Shocks Ottawa
A 21-year-old Ottawa man charged with involuntary manslaughter in the June 21 hit and run that killed 15-year-old Helen Cannady had the charge dismissed after a District Court preliminary hearing. Magistrate Larry Coursen ruled insufficient evidence of probable cause that Alan Burgoon drove drunk or at unlawful speeds, though two traffic charges remain. A prosecutor did not comment on possible refile. The case also involved a fatal hit-and-run near Greenwood Road as Cannady bicycles home from a visit with friends.
