Another Kansas City suburb has signed on to receive Google Fiber, the search giant’s high-speed Internet service.

Lee’s Summit is the ninth Kansas City area city to reach an agreement with Google Fiber since the service was first introduced to the area in 2012. Google Fiber plans to construct a high-speed broadband network that can transmit up to one gigabit of data per second, which is almost 100 times faster than conventional home broadband.

Lee’s Summit City Council on Thursday approved three agreements that cover installation and operation of the fiber optic network in the city.

There is so far no indication when the service will be available to Lee’s Summit residents.

Some customers at Worlds of Fun in Kansas City are seeing unexpected and expensive charges in their bank statements.

Officials at the amusement park say a computer problem caused some customers to be charged multiple times for the same transactions last weekend.

One customer was charged 37 times for food, for a bill over $900. Another customer said she was charged 38 times for a $38 lunch, costing more than $3,000.

Worlds of Fun officials say they were told of the problem Wednesday and are working with banks to reverse the charges. The company will pay for any overdraft fees or other expenses customers incurred because of the problem.

Anyone who fines erroneous charges is asked to call Worlds of Fun at 816-454-4545.

Wichita police say an unknown man burst into another man’s apartment and tried to set the tenant on fire while he was taking a bath.

The attacker instead set himself ablaze and was seen fleeing the victim’s apartment around 5 a.m. Thursday.

The 38-year-old tenant told police he didn’t know his assailant very well and isn’t sure why he would try to set him on fire.

Police spokesman Lt. Doug Nolte says police think the suspect is a man in his mid-20s who forced his way into the apartment with a gas can, lighter and some combustible materials.

Investigators were looking for a man with burns to his hands and torso.

A Planned Parenthood clinic and its medical director are challenging parts of a new Kansas abortion law that takes effect next month.

The Overland Park clinic and Dr. Orrin Moore filed suit Thursday in U.S. District Court.

They argue that new requirements spelling out the information that clinics and doctors must give patients before performing abortions violate their free-speech rights.

Planned Parenthood objects to a section of the law requiring its website to link to a state website containing what it says is the government’s viewpoint on abortion.

It also objects to a requirement that patients receive information that an abortion will terminate the life of what the new law calls a “whole, separate, unique, living human being.”

The lawsuit names four Kansas officials as defendants.

Federal prosecutors say a man already committed as a sexual predator at Larned State Hospital has been charged with making child pornography while in custody.

U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom says 33-year-old Christopher M. Case enticed a 15-year-old and a 13-year-old to videotape sex acts and post them on the Internet while he was a patient in the Sexual Predator Treatment Program. Case also is charged with producing child pornography and sending obscene material to a child.

Case was convicted in 2003 of attempted aggravated indecent solicitation of a child in Saline County.

The hospital is part of the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services, which said Thursday the new allegations against Case involved use of a contraband cellphone. The agency says it has taken steps to identify and stop such contraband.

The Kansas Highway Patrol has joined the search for two girls and their brother who disappeared from their Topeka home.

13-year-old Stephanie Witten, 12-year-old Seth Witten and 10-year-old Michelle Witten were reported missing by their parents just before 11 p.m. Wednesday.

Police said there was no early indication of foul play, and no Amber Alert had been issued by mid-afternoon Thursday.

The search was initially concentrated on the city’s west side, including parks and a shopping mall. Officers expanded the search Thursday morning.

The children’s mother, Kathy Witten, told the newspaper the children were home with her husband while she ran an errand Wednesday night. Witten says her husband later went to a gym, leaving the three children watching TV alone in their basement.

The economy in rural areas of 10 Midwest and Plains states remains strong as healthy rainfall this spring helps crops get established.

The overall economic index for the region grew to 60.5 in June from May’s 58.8. That suggests growth in the months ahead.

Creighton University economist Ernie Goss, who oversees the monthly survey, says the bankers are optimistic because of the consistent growth in the national economy and improving crop conditions.

The confidence index grew to 60 in June from May’s 54.5.

The indexes range from 0 to 100, with 50 representing growth neutral. Any score above 50 suggests economic growth in the months ahead.

The index is based on a survey of rural bankers in Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming.

Missouri’s unemployment rate climbed slightly last month despite payroll increasing by a net of 4,600 jobs.

The state Department of Economic Development reported the jobless rate stood at 6.8 percent in May. The federal Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Missouri’s April unemployment was 6.6 percent.

The state agency said Missouri added 3,600 jobs in construction last month. The government sector added 1,400 jobs and leisure and hospitality grew by 1,000. Increases partially were offset by losses of 1,600 jobs in educational and health service, 800 jobs in the information sector and 400 in professional and business services.

Missouri’s civilian labor force was just over 3 million, which is up about 9,400 from April. The labor force includes people with jobs and those who are on unemployment but looking for work.

An animal rights organization wants to take its campaign to the Nebraska State Fair, where exhibitors and fairgoers celebrate the state’s rich tradition in agriculture, livestock farming and ranching.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has applied for a booth at this year’s fair, which runs Aug. 23-Sept. 2 at the fairgrounds in Grand Island.

PETA campaign manager Katie Arth says the group’s trips to state fairs in Iowa and other states last year reflected a new strategy for trying to guide consumers away from meat and decrying what PETA members view as often deplorable exploitations of farm animals.

Nebraska fair executive director Joseph McDermott says PETA has a First Amendment right to come to the fair and spread its message.
