Senate OKs lottery
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — The Senate overwhelmingly approved a bill yesterday that would give formal approval to Kansas' agreement to participate in a multi-state lottery.
Approval came on a 28-6 vote, after the Senate suspended its rules to push the bill up for final action and after the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee endorsed it earlier in the day. The measure now goes to the House, where quick action also is expected.
Gov. Mike Hayden said he expected to have the bill on his desk before the end of next week. State
Rep. Robert H. Miller, chairman of the House Federal and State Affairs Committee, said his panel would have hearings on the bill Monday.
During debate, State Sen. Edward Reilly, chairman of the Senate committee, said the Legislature would be able to withdraw Kansas from the multi-state lottery at any time. He added that the governor would be able to do the same under an executive order.

LONDON — Felix the frequent-flier feline gave the VIP
— or Very Import Pussycat — treatment yesterday on
her flight home to Los Angeles after hiding out for 29 days in
the baggage hold of a jetliner.
After nibbling on caviar and sniffing at champagne, the wordly cat was put inside a specially secure carrying case and placed in the first-class compartment of a Pan American World Airways jumbo jet.
Flight 121 left Heathrow Airport at 10 a.m., and the 2-year-old calico was heading home, accompanied by an airline employee, Jane Ford, who saved her from possible destruction in Britain.
"This time, she's going to be safely under lock and key and she will stay that way for the next 11 hours or so," Ford said. "I'm not taking any chances on her going missing again."
Her owners, William and Janice Kubecki, were moving from Frankfurt to Edwards Air Force Base, Calif.
Felix became a celebrity after she escaped from her traveling box in the cargo hold of a Pan Am jumbo jet on a journey from West Germany to Los Angeles on Dec. 3.
For 29 days, Felix flew more than 179,000 miles and made at least 64 stops all over the world.
Felix was then placed in quarantine. Ford raised funds to pay the fees, and thereby avoided Felix's destruction.
"I think she must have used up at least one of her nine lives," said Ford, who supervises the calculation of airplane fuel weights for the airline.
On Jan. 1, the bedraggled cat was enticed from the jet's hold at Heathrow by Pan Am staff and given emergency animal hospital treatment. She had been discovered the day before by a baggage handler in London, but she flew across the Atlantic and back again before she could be captured.
Felix was then placed in quarantine. Ford raised funds to pay the fees and thereby avoided Felix's destruction. Meanwhile, Felix's owners were tracked down through baggage claim records.
Pan Am decided to send Felix back to Los Angeles for free, even though the flying feline never formally registered as a frequent flier.

Pet dog is saved by tattoo
The Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS — A golden Labrador about to be used for research at the Mayo Clinic was spared from certain death when a technician spotted a tattoon on the dog's right thigh and traced her back to her owner 350 miles away.
Brenda Tiegen was doing a general health check on Goldie, a mixed-breed golden Labrador, at the clinic's veterinary care and research facility when she noticed the large serial number.
"I just figured it was somebody, so I checked, the oil," said Tiegen, a veterinary technician at Institute Hills Farm in Rochester. Tiegen then called three groups that register tattoos nationally.
Goldie turned out to be registered with Tattoo-A-Pet in the New York area, which notified Shirley Smith of Des Plaines, Ill., Wednesday night that her dog had been found.
"I really didn't sleep last night. I cried." Smith said yesterday in a telephone interview. "After a certain period of time, you just assume your pet's dog. You just go on."
The Mayo Clinic plans to send 3 year-old Goldie back to Chicago by airplane on Friday.
Smith, who lives with her sister and father, said Goldie disappeared in June after being put outside on a leash on a run wire in the family's fenced back yard.
"She wasn't there when we went outside to get her," Smith said. "I thought she must have gotten loose, slipped her collar, but her collar was not there either."
After searching the neighborhood and calling the local pound, Smith called the pet tattoo registry and reported that Goldie was missing.
