Recreation Center opening postponed until Sept. 23
Students wanting to workout at the new Student Recreation Center will have to wait at least one week longer.
The center, originally scheduled for a Sept. 15 opening, is now slated to open its doors Sept. 23.
"It's our greatest hope that we'll have it ready to go by then," said Mary Chappell, director of recreation services.
Issues with flooring will force the center to open without its four regulation-size basketball courts, but all other amenities should be available, Chappell said.
If work continues on pace, the center will open at 11 a.m. Sept. 23. A grand opening ceremony is planned for Sept. 25.
Normal hours for the rec center will be 6 a.m. to midnight Monday through Friday;10 a.m.to 10 p.m.Saturday;and 10 a.m. to midnight Sunday.

Floods in Hays damages homes, area businesses
HAYS — Heavy rainfall in north-central Kansas caused flooding that damaged some homes and businesses and left many roads closed for several hours.
In Mitchell County, flash flooding along the Solomon River forced the evacuation of four people from one small community, cut off access to another and threatened to close a highway bridge.
A section of Kansas 14 south of Beloit was closed Wednesday night after a storm dumped more than 10 inches of rain on the area in eight hours, said Joy Moser, a spokeswoman for the Kansas Division of Emergency Management. Though the highway was open Thursday, state officials worried one of its bridges was too badly damaged to remain open.
Moser said four residents of Asherville, southeast of Beloit, were evacuated when the walls of a home collapsed. Also, flood waters closed roads to the community of Simpson, also southeast of Beloit, she said.
A truck driver had to be rescued Wednesday night when a Beloit-area bridge collapsed beneath his tractor trailer, Moser said.
Governor not too eager to sell former home in neighborhood
TOPEKA—The sign outside the Victorian home says, "For sale by owner," but that owner—the first family of Kansas—isn't trying hard to make a deal.
When Gov, Kathleen Sebelius moved in January into Cedar Crest, the governor's official residence, she'd already contemplated what would happen to the home she and husband Gary, a U.S. magistrate who now prefers the title "First Dude," had occupied for more than two decades.
They decided to sell, but they're not being aggressive about it—hence their lack of a real estate agent.
"We're sort of the casual house sellers,"the governor said yesterday. Gary's not very enthusiastic about showing it very often."
For Topeka residents, the Sebelius family's reluctance is understandable. Though Cedar Crest sits on a hill overlooking the Kansas River, their former home is in the Potwin section, a stately neighborhood of brick streets and restored homes with wrap-around porches.
