Kanopolis hopes to have water issues resolved this week

Kanopolis residents should know Tuesday whether a water sample they submitted to the state Monday will result in the recension of a boil water advisory issued this past week by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.
The state department issued a boil water advisory for the City of Kanopolis public water supply because of a positive bacteriological sample and inadequate chlorine residuals in the distribution system.
The advisory took effect July 22 and will remain in effect until conditions which place the system at risk of contamination are deemed by KDHE officials to be adequately resolved.
City clerk Bonnie Stoppel said city officials are awaiting the results of a sample taken to Salina Monday for testing.
Customers should observe the following precautions until further notice:
• Boil water for one minute prior to drinking or food preparation, or use bottled water.

Thrashers value family, children and community

By LINDA MOWERY-DENNING
 
Jeannie and Darrell Thrasher can usually tell the generation of a Wilson High School graduate by their greeting to Darrell. Those that had him as a teacher in his early career call him “Mr. T.” Students who learned from him after he returned to Wilson from four years at Harper call him “Mr. Thrasher.” “You can always tell the older students from the younger ones,” Jeannie said.
