Plan to localize control of Ogallala Aquifer discussed
Western Kansas plan proposes dividing the Ogallala Aquifer into sub units with similar characteristics to tailor water use goals by area. The Kansas Water Authority will decide whether to accept the proposal, which seeks to replace the two pools idea with incentive programs, technology advances, and education to extend aquifer life. The plan also calls for research, education, stronger enforcement, and potential federal funding for water rights retirement and voluntary purchases.

Man accused of sending anthrax letter hoax to dead landlord
Robert R. Nye, 38, appeared in federal court in Kansas City on one felony charge for mailing a fake anthrax letter to his deceased former landlord. The note read Time to die Anthrax. Investigators ruled the powder not anthrax and Nye admitted the hoax, saying it stemmed from harassment by a maintenance worker. The scare closed the USPS office and cost 102 employee hours.
