County urges residents to register phones

Insight into a legendary leader

Information would help dispatchers in event of emergency By Stephen Montemayor

Douglas County emergency dispatchers are asking for help from residents to better pinpoint the location of 911 calls from mobile devices. Dispatch centers can draw a 50to 150-meter radius around a mobile call using information from the nearest cellphone tower. But getting additional information is a challenge, said Scott Ruf, Douglas County’s director of emergency communications. Typically, mobile calls reveal only the phone number and service provider. In fall 2011, Douglas County became the first in Kansas to subscribe to a third-party service called Smart911.

Groups of kids, some with faces painted powder-white with dark eyes and lips, explored the Spencer Museum of Art on Sunday afternoon, making graveyard dioramas and viewing the spooky exhibits with parents in tow. As 3-year-old Ellie Rice
