75-Year-Old Landmark Should Stand for Ottawa Library
Kansas State architecture professor Bernd Foerster urged Ottawa officials to spare the library from destruction. He suggested adding on or burying an underground expansion while preserving the 1903 building’s historic character. If not expanded, he favored maintaining the structure alongside a new nearby library to meet space needs.

Medicaid: Still Tolerated Here
Ottawa doctors largely continue accepting Medicaid patients amid bureaucratic delays and partial reimbursements. Some clinics limit new Medicaid patients to Franklin or Osage counties or refuse new holders, while others accept only emergencies. The shift began after EDS Federal took over claims from Blue Cross Blue Shield, with mixed results and ongoing payment disputes, including a caesarean claim from August. Medicaid now covers mainly emergencies, accidents, and care for children under two and seniors over 70, under Gov. Bennett’s cost-reduction plan.

U.S. Faces Larger Oil Import Shortage Under New Allocation
The New York Times quotes Energy Secretary James R. Schlesinger predicting U.S. imports could fall by 800000 barrels daily, up from 500000, under a new distribution formula that bases allocations on a nation’s normal consumption rather than its imports. The shift would lift America's share of the world shortage from 25 percent to 40 percent as international oil firms reallocate supplies.
