City sends electrical meters to Greensburg
By Patrick Cady
May 31, 2007
Twice in his life, city water plant foreman Jon Showalter has seen destruction caused by a major disaster. As a child, Showalter said he remembers seeing the aftermath after a tornado struck Topeka in 1966. Years later, in 1979, he helped clean up after a train derailed in Lawrence. Now, with a truck and 400 electrical meters donated by the city of Eudora, he’s going into chaos for a third time. He’ll be gone a week traveling to the tornado-wrecked town of Greensburg joined by electrical lineman Ken Latshaw.

By Patrick Cady
May 31, 2007
For those looking to kill summer boredom, the Eudora Parks and Recreation department has a few ideas. The department offers both ongoing programs and a few new startups to help keep people of all ages in shape. Residents will also get the opportunity to experience a new pool funded by a $3.8 million bond passed last August. In the fall, the city will open a recreation center also included in the bond.

They will be replaced with 95-gallon containers supplied by Weldon Enterprises Inc. The Eudora City Council voted Tuesday to accept a plan that will standardize the city’s trash containers and establish both recycling and yard waste drop off points within the city.
