LEAVENWORTH KANSAS
LEAVENWORTH, Kan. — The director of emergency management in Leavenworth County says flooding this summer will cost public entities in the county at least $4.5 million.
Chuck Magaha says the total costs are expected to increase as the floodwaters recede and more damage becomes apparent.
The Leavenworth Times reports (http://bit./yPsYTKs) that the $4.5 million figure includes the cities of Leavenworth and Lansing, the county and other public departments.
Magaha predicts there will be a presidential disaster declaration for Kansas and Leavenworth County. That would provide federal assistance to pay for most of the flood costs.
BRUSSELS, BELGIUM
Belgium hit a new milestone Monday — 450 days without a government — but still no one appears to be in any big hurry to resolve the situation.
Europe's financial crisis and feeble economic growth may scare governments from the Arctic Circle to the Mediterranean Sea, but in Belgium it is a sideshow. Talks on a new Belgian government, which have been going on since the June 13, 2010 election, were at a standstill Monday for a third day running.
Why? Because Green Party negotiator Jean-Michel Javaux — also the mayor of Amay, a small eastern town — had to attend a town meeting to vote on, among other things, a new police car and a computer.
TEHRAN, IRAN
The U.S. Geological Survey said the 6.6-magnitude quake was centered 60 miles southwest of the city of Medan at a depth of 62 miles.
Hundreds of patients from at least one hospital had to be evacuated, some in wheelchairs or with infusion drips still attached to their arms.
Iran's nuclear chief on Monday proposed to allow the U.N. nuclear watchdog "full supervision" of its nuclear activities for five years provided that sanctions against Tehran are lifted, but the official did not give details of his offer.
The United Nations has imposed four rounds of Security Council sanctions over Tehran's refusal to halt uranium enrichment, a technology that can be used to produce nuclear fuel or materials for an atomic bomb.
Iran's nuclear program is already subject to routine IAEA inspections. IAEA cameras monitor Iran's nuclear activities, including its contentious uranium enrichment sites.
JAKARTA, INDONESIA
A powerful earthquake knocked the western indonesian island of Sumatra, killing a 12-year-old boy and sending people streaming from their houses and hotels in panic.
It was too far inland, however, to generate a tsunami.

Trees and fence in flames near 24th and Missouri
"I heard a pop afterward; that was it," Woodworth said. "You could feel the heat through the window."
Witnesses said they saw a wooden fence and trees in flames around 6 p.m. on Monday behind Coachlight Apartments near 24th and Missouri streets. Mike Woodworth, a resident, was inside when the fire started.
Multiple residents and neighbors said they lost power as the fire burned.
Tia Palmer-Hardy, a resident, said she heard a pop that sounded like an explosion just after she looked outside.
"I seen stuff on fire flying in the sky," she said.
Lt. Greg Murray with the Lawrence Fire Department said the flames were as high as the building when he arrived, but firefighters extinguished the flames by 6:15 p.m. Officials said they don't know what started the fire yet, but no injuries have been reported.
