Lawrence residents, the candidates for chief of police each stand at opposite corners of the room. The open house, held
from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Feb. 10 at the newly renovated Carnegie Building, 200 W. 9th St., allowed visitors to meet and talk with the
candidates about their interests in the new position and their personal philosophies.
The residents, along with a few police officers, waited in line to personally hear what each candidate had to say. City manager David Corliss said he was very pleased with the turnout. He will decide who will fill the position later this month.

After virus, pets ready to adopt
After an outbreak of parvovirus at the Lawrence Humane Society, the shelter ended its quarantine on Tuesday and made dogs available for adoption again.
Director Midge Grinstead said the shelter experienced a small drain backup in the shelter's building designated for stray animals. The backup likely introduced the virus into the building from outside.
contaminating kennels. She said a kneln technician overlooked the problem, but employees are usually vigilant about it.
The virus only infected puppies, and it can take as few as five days to manifest symptoms. The shelter still took in dogs during the quarantine, but they were kept separate from the other dogs. Other puppies are still in quarantine, but the older dogs that tested negative for the virus were put back up for adoption.
Grinstead said the shelter is
taking extra precautions, such as extra staff training, to prevent another outbreak, but she's still worried about the disease. She said an environment like a shelter is stressful for dogs, and that, coupled with a puppy's weak immune system, can put them at risk.
"Anytime you're housing animals, it's very scary," Grinstead said. "It's like KU being worried about the swine flu."
