From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for April 29, 1989:

• After local letter carriers had been bitten by dogs two days in a row the previous week, Lawrence postmaster Bill Reynolds was asking the public for some help. “We are asking our neighbors to help protect letter carriers, utility workers, newspaper carriers and other citizens from the danger of dog bites,” Reynolds said. He later added that while working as his former Postal Service job in Wichita, he had seen a horrific incident where a letter carrier had nearly bled to death after a dog attack. “I’ve gone to the hospital too many times with a carrier who has been bitten by a dog, not to take this problem very seriously,” he said. “Our office has received excellent cooperation from customers in the past, but there are still too many dog bites.”
• In Topeka, the governor’s office announced that an agreement had been reached allowing a Los Angeles production company to film part of its television miniseries “Cross of Fire” at Cedar Crest, the Kansas executive mansion. The film company was to have use of Cedar Crest for six days in June while Gov. Hayden and his family were scheduled to be away on vacation. The miniseries was to depict resistance to the Ku Klux Klan during the 1920s.
