North Central Kansas Technical College has developed the Kansas
Institute
of Underground Technology. This training will provide the skills needed
to
correctly and safely bury fiber optics, cables, electrical lines and
pipes.
President Clark Coco says this is the only training program of this
kind in the
United States. Courses will be
provided in
directional drilling, location technology and drilling fluids. Courses
will
begin in October. More information is available at undergroundtech.com.
The Hays City Commission
will not hold Thursday night’s
regularly scheduled work session. The meeting has been canceled because
of a
lack of a quorum. The commission was scheduled to discuss bids for
naming
rights within the sports complex, the reconstruction of 41st Street and a review of
fireworks policies
from the last 4th of July.
The Internal Revenue Service is warning about a fraudulent
scheme targeting taxpayers who use the Electronic Federal Tax Payment
System to
pay federal taxes electronically via the Internet or phone.The scheme
uses an
e-mail that claims your tax payment was rejected and directs you to a
website
for additional information. The website contains malware that will
attempt to
infect your computer. The IRS says if you receive a
suspicious e-mail or an e-mail from
someone claiming to be from the IRS directing you to website
for additional information,
do not reply to the sender, access links on the site or submit any
information
to them. Forward the e-mail or URL
information to the IRS.
