MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Kansas State officials say every room in one dormitory on the Manhattan campus will be inspected after residents reported at least 13 cases of mold this semester.

School officials said Wednesday the mold found in Ford Hall during recent inspections was inactive and not growing. But starting Thursday, the university will inspect the air handling system in all of Ford Hall’s rooms.

Ford Hall is an all-female dormitory that houses more than 500 students.

School officials could then clean the affected areas, repair damaged pipe insulation or treat the areas with mold-resistant paint.

Ghouls and goblins, witches and ghosts will parade through downtown Junction City Thursday evening at 5:30. The occasion is the All Treats Day costume parade for children. The JCHS Marching Band will lead the parade from 9th and Washington down to 6th and Washington.

Parents can walk with their children in the parade. You should line up at 10th and Washington for the parade by 5:15 p.m.

After the parade merchants will pass out candy, said Amy Garner, Member Relations Director for the Junction City Area Chamber of Commerce. “Be vendors out there with candy. The kids can run around and get candy, do their trick or treating. The United Way hot dog stand will be down there so people can eat dinner if they want to.”

The fun doesn’t end there. Kids can travel over to the 12th Street Community Center where there will be games and candy.

CLOUD COUNTY — Law enforcement authorities are investigating a suspect who fled on foot from officers in Concordia on Tuesday afternoon and was hospitalized after a chase and crash in Clay County.

On Tuesday, the suspect wanted on felony warrants and identified as Brent Trimble, 33, Salina, was seen getting into a Ford Fusion near the area of 6th and Broadway in Concordia, according to Undersheriff Nick Patterson.

Tourism in Kansas is taking center stage at the Travel Industry Association of Kansas conference in Junction City this week.  More than 200 people in the tourism industry are in attendance at the Courtyard by Marriott Convention Center.

The Interim Director of Kansas Wildlife Parks & Tourism, Linda Craighead, said tourism is a thriving business in this state. “It’s am $11 billion industry. We have had year over year growth for the last eight years. It’s made up of a team of people that are just so passionate about our state.”

The Director of the Geary County Convention & Visitor’s Bureau, Michelle Stimatze, noted that Colonel Curtis D. Taylor was among the speakers. “He stressed the importance of tourism out at Fort Riley and the things that they offer, things that people can come and visit.” Stimatze pointed to Taylor’s comments on the renovation of the two museums on post, and the fact that they will reopen in 2020. She stated,  “Some of the group was not even aware of what we had in our back yard.”

State Representative Dave Baker noted tourism is an important part of marketing. “And one of the weakest spots we have in the state of Kansas is marketing. We’ve taken pretty much all the money out of marketing, and we need to recommit to marketing so we can attract more people and help share the assets of the state of Kansas with the rest of the country.”

The convention began Monday and wraps up on Wednesday.
