New gas regulations 'among strictest'in U.S
HUTCHINSON Proposed state regulations for underground storage of natural gas could prove costly if not prohibitive - for energy companies doing business in Kansas.
More than two years after natural gas explosions in Hutchinson killed two people and destroyed two downtown buildings, the new rules are close to being finished. A state official said they would be among the strictest in the country, if approved.
More than 143 million cubic feet of natural gas is believed to have leaked from a salt cavern at the Yaggy gas storage field seven miles northwest of Hutchinson, erupting from old brine wells beneath the city in January 2001.
The proposed regulations greatly increase the permit fees for gas storage operations, require extensive testing and monitoring of salt caverns and pipes, and set strict limits on how much gas can be pumped into underground salt caverns.

Monkey on the run angers local residents
DAVIS, Calif. — When a monkey slipped from its cage at a University of California medical research lab, handlers peered into sewers, poked behind cages and baited traps to try to catch it.
A week and a half later, though, all they've found in their search is an angry town armed with new ammunition against a proposed biodefense
research center that the university says would study the world's deadliest diseases for the effort to protect the country from bioterrorism.
The monkey, a rhesus macaque, disappeared from the California National Primate Research Center, which would supply animals to the proposed Biosafety Level 4 lab to study diseases with no known cure, such as the Ebola and West Nile viruses.
School officials promised the runaway was disease-free—the center raises animals for research on level two and three diseases, which have vaccines or treatments—and would never have escaped from the proposed biodefense lab.
Officer runs over, kills tourist in beach chase
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. -A police officer searching for robbery suspects on the beach drove over two tourists Saturday, killing one and critically injuring the other.
Miami Beach police officer George Varon was driving a marked sports utility vehicle along the crowded shores, searching for two robbery suspects believed to be on the beach. He apparently didn't see two French sisters laying in the sand, police said.
Stephanie and Sandrine Tune were taken to a hospital, where Stephanie, 27, died. Sandrine, 26, was listed in critical condition Saturday evening. Police said the sisters, who lived in Britain, were on vacation.
Several witnesses said the officer's actions were reckless and that he wasn't using a siren.
