Ordinance could impose limitations as city looks for help from Clinton
- Continued from p. 1
Public Wholesale Water Supply District No. 10, had initiated a study to explore the possibility of piping water from the Kansas River basin to cities in its alliance.
Lowe said the State Water Transfers Act, passed in 1983, allowed communities to request that water be transferred to them. However, he said the request would first have to pass a state tribunal.
A more immediate concern in Lawrence is the possibility of a water shortage. The city, through finance, has addressed that problem.
The ordinance, passed by the City Commission Feb. 14, would allow the city to implement both voluntary and mandatory water
conservation measures in the event of a water shortage emergency.
The ordinance gives the city manager the power to first seek voluntary water restrictions from city residents. The restrictions could include watering lawns, washing vehicles, using water for swimming pools or any other reason the city deemed wasteful.
Under the mandatory measures in the ordinance, the city could suspend new connections to the city's water system, restrict use in homes and businesses and ration water.
The mandatory measures allow the city to raise water rates and also allows the city to penalize violating the water restrictions.
Coffey said the city began working on the water plan in spring 1988, but also said last summer's addition included the city with added incentive.
In another move to prevent a future water shortage, the city has requested an increased allotment of water from Clinton Reservoir.
Wildfelsen said Lawrence was allotted 10 million gallons of water a day from Clinton. The city has more than another five million gallons a day.
Wildgen said Lawrence's projected growth prompted the city to make the request.
"We don't have the capacity to treat 15 million gallons a day right now, but we're looking to the middle 1990s. "Wilden said."
Halftime contests may be illegal
- Continued from p. 1
At the men's games five programs were stamped at each of five home games between Dec. 1 and Jan. 9. The winners from each game in KU game Feb. 25 and competed for two more round-trip airline tickets.
The women's contest ran all season, with a different winner each game.
Frederick said he thought the law might not have been violated because 50 to 100 of the programs were given free away at each men's game to
members of the press, prospective recruits and Williams Fund contributors. That way, not everyone had to pay to get a chance to win the airline
However, Anderson said the opportunity to get chances for free would have to be available to all people to avoid violation of the law.
"I doubt they have violated the law, though, because the contestants had to shoot baskets, which involves a significant element of chance," Anderson said.
Craig Haines, KUAC marketing director, said, "The Athletic Department doesn't want to break any laws. It has just been used as a fun deal for halftime. Sometimes the crowd really gets into it."
Haines said the shootout was discussed at a staff meeting Monday morning, and Thomas was asked to investigate the matter.
Haines said that the program switch had nothing to do with the question of legality.
Cancer answers soon may be just one telephone call away
A patient could be so overwhelmed by a cancer diagnosis that he or she could miss vital information about what to do next, the coordinator of a new Med Center information service said yesterday.
by Jennifer Corser Kansan staff writer
The national Cancer Information Service can help by giving cancer and cancer-related information to patients and concerned people through its toll-free telephone line, said Paula Lang, coordinator of CIS at the University of Kansas Medical Center. The Med Center will begin providing a local service by early summer for Kansas residents.
Although Kansans can receive cancer information through the CIS, operated by the National Cancer Institute, a local office can give them better information, said Kate Duffy, project officer for the CIS. A local office would know about physicians and support groups in the patient's area, she said.
"It's better to have a local service because you can provide more specific information on services available at that location." Duffy said.
Duffy said the Med Center was especially committed to serving the community because its service was not receiving money from the National Cancer Institute.
Staff members of the services must attend a training program, she said. The staff answers questions about symptoms and treatments and gives doctor referrals for patients who do not have a physician.
"We do counsel, but we don't want to promote counseling," she said.
Some patients call because they feel they have no one else to talk to, Lang said.
Lang said many of the calls the services received were from family members of cancer patients who wanted advice on how to deal with the disease.
Many people call about breast cancer and colon cancer. Lang said. Questions about skin cancer are increasing, probably because people are becoming accustomed to the amount of time they spend in the sun, she said.
The CIS is a resource for cancer information, not a medical service, Lang said. Staff members do diagnose symptoms, but tell the callers to see a doctor.
"If it's something that the person is worried about or 'is unusual for them, then they should go a doctor.' she
About 1,000 to 5,000 Kansans call the national CIS each year.
Drug abuse programs working, Hayden says
The Associated Press
WICHITA — Kansas schools that have implemented anti-substance abuse programs have a lower rate of cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption and marijuana use than those that don't. Gov. Mike Hayden said Monday.
nayden, speaking at a news conference at the Wichita-Sedgwick County Region. Prevention resources were presented to the research team that measured the effectiveness of the state's
drug and alcohol abuse programs in 148 elementary and secondary schools.
The study, which was conducted by the state Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services, indicated that elementary schools using the abuse program had 36.5 percent fewer students using alcohol than at schools without the programs. Hayden said.
Comprehensive results of the study will be released later this month.
"One of the major focuses of our anti-drug abuse programs has been preventing abuse before it starts, and intervening with the youth of our state who are growing up with drug-taking behaviors." Hayden said in a report released last year that our efforts are working in preventing and, in some cases, even reducing alcohol and drug use by our youth.
