From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 11, 1989:

• A 20-year-old Kansas University student was arrested this week for operating a taxi without a license. Police said they were alerted to the situation by a classified ad in the KU student newspaper about rides being offered “cheap” to Kansas City International Airport. The ad had been brought to the attention of police by Paul Shackelford, owner of A-1 City Cab Co., who in the presence of police called the number in the ad and arranged for a ride to the airport. When meeting with the driver, Shackelford and the man discussed the price and arrived at an agreement; as they were leaving the parking lot, police intervened and arrested the student. Police said the man did not have a city license to operate a taxi service or proper insurance; nor did he have a permit from the Kansas Corporation Commission to operate a taxi service between cities.
• A Lawrence man was selected this month as “Cook of the Month” for the April issue of Better Homes and Gardens magazine. A recipe for dijon asparagus salad had won first prize for Scott D. Kingery. In addition to having his recipe published in the magazine, Kingery was to receive $100 in cash and a framed certificate.
