Winter wheat production will surpass expectations
TOPEKA — The Department of Agriculture's latest estimates on winter wheat production show Kansas will produce about 19 million more bushels than was expected, and officials Tuesday said yields had been better than expected.
The newest estimates show Kansas leading the nation in winter wheat production with 418 million bushels while earlier estimates placed Kansas production at 399 million bushels.
Voter registration deadlines set
Mel Sjerven, senior editor of Milling and Baking News, also credited the rains at the end of the wheat's maturing period with increasing yield estimates.
Anyone wanting to vote in the primary elections on Aug. 7 must register by 9 p.m. Tuesday at the county clerk's office in the Douglas County Courthouse.
The office will be open until 9 p.m. through Tuesday to allow voters to register before the deadline.
People who miss the primary registration deadline will be able to register for the general elections between Aug. 8 and Oct. 16.
A voter certificate, which tells voters their precinct and ward, will be mailed to people who have already registered. The certificate will also tell the person where to vote.
Residents must have lived in their precinct 20 days before an election to be eligible to register and vote in that election.
Board of Regents moving offices
The Kansas Board of Regents is in the process of moving into new offices in the Capitol Tower office building across from the Capitol Building in Topeka.
The Regents staff felt a need to move because of a lack of space and an upcoming rent increase at its present location, Merchant National Bank Tower, Stanley Koplik, executive director for the Board of Regents said. He said that the new location would also allow the offices to be located on one floor instead of the two floors of offices the Regents staff had occupied in the past.
The Regents staff began moving on Monday, and hopes to be moved in by tomorrow, Koplik said. Phone numbers for the Regents offices will remain the same.
Opera House committee to meet
The Save the Opera House Committee will have a public meeting at 10 a.m. Saturday at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St.
Marci Francisco, former mayor of Lawrence and a member of the group, said that a representative of Bowersock Ltd. of Wichita, a company that wanted to renovate the Lawrence Opera House, 642 Massachusetts St., would be present.
The representative, Lee Barnett of Bowersock, will explain the company's plans for the Opera House and answer questions, Francisco said.
Emory Scott, author of the book "100 Years of Theater in Lawrence," will speak on the historic significance of the Opera House.
Skip Moon, current owner of the Opera House, will open the building for a tour, Francisco said.
Penney's grand opening is today
J. C. Penney is celebrating the grand opening of its new local store at 23rd Street and Ousdahl Road today with a ribbon cutting ceremony that will be attended by local city officials, Garland White, the manager, said.
City Commissioner Mike Amyx and City Manager Buford Watson will attend the ceremony today, where White's wife, Loreta, will cut
White said that the ceremony would be followed by sales on many items in the store.
White said that the new store was superior in appearance to Penney stores in malls in Kansas City and Topeka.

Commission tackles traffic problems
By SHAWNA SEED Staff Reporter
Traffic concerns dominated last night's Lawrence City Commission meeting, as commissioners tried to help residents slow traffic in one neighborhood and heard a report on the 15th Street extension project in West Lawrence.
The commission reached a compromise with the Lawrence Housing Authority, turning two streets in the Edgewood Homes Complex over to it so that it could control traffic at the complex.
Watson said the city would be liable for any accidents that resulted from the installation of the speed bumps, because the streets were public streets.
Mayor Ernest Angino said he was willing to grant the request. However, City Manager Buford
DAVID MURRELL, director of the housing authority, asked the commission to install speed bumps at 16th Street and Edgewood Lane at the complex.
Commissioner David Longhurst said the streets in the Edgewood Homes complex had been made public streets only because the housing authority couldn't afford to maintain them.
Longhurst suggested that the city give the housing authority control of the streets and then allocate money to the housing authority for their maintenance. The commission adopted the compromise.
THE CITY ALSO received a report from George Williams, director of public works, on the status of the city's extension of West 15th Street.
Williams has been revising the plans for the expansion, because the original plans would have cost more than the city could afford.

"When you start a project, you always want the best," he said. "Sometimes you go shopping for a Cadillac, but you end up buying a Chevy. They're good cars, and they run just as long."
Brian Kubota, 2500 W. Sixth St., a consultant on the extension, told the commission that the changes, including changes in material and construction, would save money, but wouldn't decrease the appearance, safety or quality of the street.

ECKAN, an energy information group, requested funds for repair of their floor in the old hospital
LYNN GOODDELL, director of community development, told the commission that when the city and ECKAN agreed to its use of the building, ECKAN agreed to pay to rehabilitate it. However, he said that the organization couldn't afford the repairs.
