Kansas may construct water pipeline
By Kristy Dorsey
Kanean staff writer
The Kansas Water Authority today and tomorrow will consider the possible construction of a 100-mile pipeline from Wichita to the Milford Reservoir on the Kansas River.
The pipeline would provide additional water to cities in Wholesale Water Supply District 10, an association of 16 communities in south-central Kansas, said Clark Duffy, director with the Kansas Water Office.
Communities in northeast Kansas, including Lawrence, already have agreements to reserve some of the water at the reservoir, located west of Manhattan, as "drought insurance." Those communities are concerned that Milford does not have enough
water to meet existing agreements and Supply District 10's demands as well.
The Water Authority, a state water transfer regulatory agency, will consider whether or not to allow the State Water Office to enter into negotiations with Supply District 10, Duffy said.
Roger Coffey, city of Lawrence utilities director, said city officials would keep close track of the Water Authority's proceedings.
"We want to be sure that we don't negatively impact water supplies
Coffey said part of the Milford reservoir was used last year to keep the area's water supply at an adequate level. Since the central Kansas communities have been considering the pipeline plan, concern has risen over whether or not the Milford supply has been replenished sufficiently.
"We have a question as to whether Milford has recharged itself as other water reservoirs have downstream," Coffey said.
The State Water Office has wateruse agreements for Milford with Western Resources, formerly Kansas Power and Light, and the Kansas Water Assurance District, which represents several municipalities in northeast Kansas, including Lawrence.
Duffy said no water would be taken from Milford to Supply District 10 unless it was found that all current water guarantees could be met.
Lawrence man forced to strip after FBI slip
Special to the Kansan

Special to the Kansan
When Alan Gabrielson arrived at work at Lawrence Memorial Hospital Oct. 19, he was greeted by more than his co-workers. Two FBI agents were waiting as well.
Unknown to the Lawrence resident, someone watching an episode of "America's Most Wanted" on the FOX network had mistakenly identified Gabrielson as the fugitive Alan Lee Echols, who is wanted for murder in the Kansas City area, said Max Geiman, FBI special agent, legal advisor and news media representative in Kansas City.
"When they approached me, they asked me if I had ever seen the show 'America's Most Wanted,'" he said. "At first I felt that they were joking. I just wasn't sure, and then they flashed their badges."
Geiman said somebody at the hospital called a toll-free number aired during the broadcast. The call was forwarded to the FBI in Kansas City, Mo.
Gabrielson, a custodian at the hospital for six months, said the FBI agents told him the caller said he saw an employee with a large newspaper featuring new employees.
Gabrielson said the agents took him into his boss' office, asked him questions about his background, and
showed him a picture of the suspect.
"When they took me into my boss's office, I was forced to take off my clothing, to strip all the way down to my underwear and my socks," Gabrielson said. "They were looking for marks on my legs. I can't express how degrading that was."
Echols has scars on his legs.
Gahas has skis on his legs.
Gambelson thought he had to coop-eer.
"I realized that we were most serious and that I was going to jail otherwise," he said. "When someone says if you have some scars on your legs we are going to take you on jail, 'that's pretty scary.'"

City Commission OKs carriage rides
Motorists driving downtown this weekend could find themselves sharing the road with some unusual traffic.
In a unanimous vote last night, the Lawrence City Commission gave Rob Phillips, president of Kansas Carriage Company, Inc., a 120-day temporary permit to operate a horse and carriage business, which could begin as early as Friday.
In a separate motion, the commission directed the city staff to prepare city ordinances to regulate horse-drawn carriage businesses. Lawrence currently has no such ordinances.
The temporary operation will be used to help develop the permanent city ordinances. When the 120-day permit expires, the permit could be extended until the new ordinances are in place.
"I think that will probably be a pretty good test and provide information."
for us," commissioner Bob Schumun said.
Phillips said he approached the commission about the issue because he wanted to run the carriage business year-round, as opposed to just offering the service for special occasions such as weddings, as he does now.
The carriage will operate from the Eldridge Hotel, 701 Massachusetts St. Rides will cost between $5 and $10 for adults. Phillips said he would probably begin operating Friday, with routes running through downtown and Old West Lawrence. He said he also would like to have a route through the University of Kansas campus, preferably around the Campanile.
"I don't know what it takes to get a permit from the University, but I would like to get a route once a week to go through the campus," he said.
Phillips said he did not yet have any specific routes mapped out, and said the network was a work in progress.
horse would rest while it was not pulling the carriage.
Phillips keeps the horse in a stable outside of town.
Mayor Bob Schulte outlined three main areas that should be addressed by city ordinances: humane treatment of the horse, traffic safety and sanitation.
Pam Olmsted, a member of the board of directors for the Lawrence Humane Society, told the commission she thought Humane Society representatives should be involved in developing the horse carriage ordinances.
"We feel that we can work with Mr. Phillips," she said. "We're not aiming at him, but we think that down the line, other people could move in to open similar businesses. We feel it should be regulated."
Whistles represent violence
Carol Henderson, vice president of the Humane Society, said she was not sure if a horse-drawn carriage was appropriate in a city like Lawrence.

A chorus of silver whistles will shriek every 15 seconds from the front lawn of Strong Hall today, representing an FBI statistic that every 15 seconds in the United States a woman is beaten.
Members of the Women's Student Union were to first blow their whistles at 9 a.m. today, in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Their whistles will shriek more than 1,900 times before they stop at 5 p.m.
"We basically just want people to be aware of the violence that's going on," said Sara Lechtenberg, Overland Park senior and WSU member. "You can
walk right by people holding signs, out a whistle blowing every 15 seconds is kind of annoying. It's something you just can't ignore."
Whistle blowing for battered women began last year in response to the charge that then student body president Darren Fulcher struck his ex-girlfriend. The first whistle blowing was sponsored by Students Against Violence Against Womyn.
WSU president Michaela Hayes, Dallas senior, said the event was designed to be a springboard for improved safety among women. She said that women on several campuses carried whistles to call for help in case of emergencies.
for the Women's Transitional Care Services, Lawrence's only emergency shelter for battered women, said that in Kansas last year 1,301 women used emergency shelters and 17,772 women called crisis lines.
Laura Farha, community facilitator
She said Lawrence's WTCS offered a 24-hour crisis line, peer counseling, support groups and up to 30 days of emergency housing for battered women and children. Last year, 151 women sought shelter with the service and more than 1,300 women called the crisis line at 841-6887.
This year, the service has already provided shelter for 94 women. Farha said this was typical because, during a bombing attack, the service will shelter 10 battered women.
