Church hosts breakfast About 75 guests attended the annual Calvary United Methodist Church Women’s Mission breakfast Aug. 1. Pastor Gene McIntosh gave the invocation for the breakfast, prepared and served by men of the church. President Saundra Upshaw welcomed guests and gave an update on her husband, Paul, who is at Allen County Hospital for treatment to prepare for chemotherapy. Area churches represented were Ward Chapel AME, Humboldt United Methodist, Salem United Methodist, Wesley United Method-

ist and Trinity UMC, Colony, including its new minister, Dorothy Welch. Kim Romig read a poem, “Thank You Volunteers,� and presented each guest with a printed volunteer tribute. Tyler McIntosh from the Wesley youth group and Calvary’s Sherryl Scovill gave the program. McIntosh’s group went to Atlanta, Ga., where they worked at a boys and girls home. Scovill went with the Wesley Gorilla Team to Oklahoma City, where she worked in a home, where a grandmother needed a bedroom and bathroom for her grand-

children. She also mentioned working at an outdoor worship area. Upshaw gave special recognition pins to Cindy and Michelle Scovill, who have contributed much time to the church. For closing, Lissa Mentzer Manbeck sang a hymn and Upshaw thanked McIntosh, Sherryl and the United Methodist Men for the breakfast. The next UMW meeting will be at 1 p.m. Sept. 3 in Calvary Fellowship Hall. Evelyn Jordan will be the program leader and Nadine McClain and Jeanne Smith will be hostesses.

KWCH reports restoration crews say it takes about 10 days for buildings to dry out after heavy rain. The process has had to be restarted in Argonia because the storms have been constant over the past two weeks.

Knight weighs another run for Wichita mayor

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Former Wichita mayor Bob Knight is considering another campaign for that office. Knight told KWCH-TV on Wednesday he’s been approached by several people encouraging him to run when current Mayor Carl Brewer leaves office in 2015. Knight, 72, served multiple terms as mayor between 1980 and 2003. He was also the Kansas commerce secretary from 1992 to 1995, and ran unsuccessfully for the Republican nomination for governor in 2002. Knight says he expects to make a decision about seeking the mayor’s office in the next few months.

Regulator sees big role for states LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Kansas and other states must take the lead in improving regional transmission systems to increase the movement of electricity from renewable resources such as wind, according to a federal energy regulator. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission member David Moeller was visiting the northeast Kansas community on Tuesday to discuss prospects for renewable energy, The Lawrence Journal-World reported. Those prospects included developing a better system for moving power from wind turbines and other sources to consumers. Moeller was invited by state Rep. Tom Sloan, a Lawrence Republican, to meet with officials from other states and energy companies to

discuss improving transmission systems. Moeller and Sloan said the goal is to improve transmission grids so that wind power from rural areas like western Kansas can move to places where the need for energy is greater. “You have all that wind in western Kansas, and for years there was very little transmission between western Kansas and the load centers,� Moeller said. “It’s not unique to Kansas. Where the wind blows, there’s pretty much not a lot of energy load.� But Moeller said FERC doesn’t have the legal authority to regulate transmission grids, leaving it to states to take up that role. The FERC does have the authority over natural gas pipelines for environmental and safety issues.

Drinking Water Notice

The Allen Co. RWD 8 public water supply system violated a drinking water standard. Even though this was not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what happened and what we are doing to correct this situation. We are required to monitor your drinking water for specific contaminants on a regular basis. Results of regular monitoring are an indicator of whether or not our drinking water meets health standards. During August 2012 and January 2013 we did not complete all required monitoring or testing for coliform bacteria and therefore cannot be sure of the quality of our drinking water during that time. We are routinely required to test for coliform bacteria no fewer than two times a month. Additional samples are required following a coliform-positive or rejected sample. A monitoring violation occurred because of failure to collect one of the routine microbiological samples required during August 2012 and January 2013. There is nothing you need to do at this time. Since it is our desire to provide the safest water possible to our consumers, we have taken the action of paying closer attention to our monthly sampling program and daily record keeping in order to prevent future violations. We will call our laboratory early in the month if we haven’t received bottles needed for samples. For information regarding this notice, please contact Allen Co. RWD #8 at 620-380-6153
