Commissioners to study pool project
Salina City Commissioners have an agenda Monday that includes a 2 p.m. study session meeting with the consultant from Aquatic Design Consultants of Louisburg. The meeting is to discuss designs for the family pool complex the city is planning to replace the municipal pool in Kenwood Park.
The study session will take place in Room 107B in the City-County Building, 300 W. Ash.
The agenda for the commission's regular meeting includes an award of a bid for removing an abandoned railroad crossing and tracks that cross Second Street between Elm and North streets, just north of the Salina Animal Shelter.
Commissioners are also to consider approval of a plat of the Stone Creek addition. The 4.72-acre tract, located in the Country Oak Estates addition on the south side of Schilling Road west of Dry Creek, will be the site of 14 new homes. The rezoning was approved in May by the Salina Planning Commission.
The meeting starts at 4 p.m. in Room 107 of the City-County Building.
Flour sacks on display at library
In conjunction with wheat harvest and Salina's sesquicentennial, the Salina Public Library is having a special display of flour sacks from Kansas mills.
The collection is owned by Nancy Jo Leachman, an information services librarian at the library. It may be seen in several display cases near the information services desk in the library through the end of July.
Leachman found her first flour sack in an antique store in Inman shortly after moving to Kansas nine years ago. The sack was from Western Star mills in Salina. It featured a map of Kansas with a large star where Salina is located, so she thought it would look good framed and hung in her new Salina home.
Since then, her collection has grown to more than 60 sacks from mills across Kansas.
