Team tests city's water supply reports sav city free of parasite
The presence of the microscopic parasite cryptosporidium was not detected in the Lawrence water supply, the City of Lawrence Utilities Department said yesterday.
Tests were done last week by Analytical Services, Inc. of Williston, Vt., on both raw and finished water from the Kaw Water Treatment Plant and the Clinton Reservoir Treatment Plant after 22 cases of cryptosporidium were reported in the Lawrence area over the course of a few weeks.
Cryptosporidium is a parasite that produces stomach flu-like symptoms and is easily passed in swimming pools because it can survive outside a host body for long periods of time and can resist the chlorine used to disinfect pools.
After several Lawrence-area pools were closed, the city decided to test the water to be safe.
Chris Stewart, assistant director of water for the city, said in a press release that the results "confirm that the state regulations are structured to protect our water and we are confident that the City of Lawrence complies with those regulations."
The number of cryptosporidium cases reported has remained at 22. Kevin Kampwin

Loved ones honor last Sept. 11 firefighter killed in attacks
NEW YORK — Relatives, friends, and fellow firefighters gathered Sunday to pay respects to Michael Ragusa, the last firefighter killed in the Sept. 11 attack on
the World Trade Center to receive a memorial service.
The 29-year-old's remains were never identified, so his family chose to bury a vial of blood he had donated to a bone marrow center. A funeral was scheduled for Monday.
"It was a very personal decision for the family," said Gerry Sweeney, a firefighter in Ladder Co. 131. "They really didn't want to go through a memorial service and then hear that a piece of Michael had been recovered and have to go through it again, but I guess they'd figured enough time had passed."
Photos at the funeral home showed Rogusa smiling as a child, hugging his girlfriend, driving his car and fighting a fire.

Dozens of firefighters passed through to offer their condolences.
Correction
Monday's University Daily Kansan contained an error. The campus brief, "Student arrested, charged for dealing in fake IDs" stated John Robert Jordan was released on $1,500 bail. Jordan was released on an "own recognizance" bond. These type of bonds allow the arrested person to be released before his court appearance without charging bail on his promise to appear for trial.
Clarification
Tuesday's University Daily Kansan, the article "Pre-meds choose time over money" needs clarification. Paul Crosby, pre-medicine adviser at the University, said areas like ophthalmology and dermatology residency programs might be competitive because of lifestyle issues. He said, however, that most students don't settle into speciality areas until after they are enrolled in medical school.
