JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A preliminary assessment has found about $86 million of damage and costs from recent flooding and storms in Missouri.

The figures provided Thursday by the state Department of Public Safety include almost $58 million of public costs for damage to infrastructure, debris removal and emergency response efforts.

The assessment includes an additional $28 million of costs for individuals whose homes and belongings were damaged.

Gov. Eric Greitens had asked President Donald Trump for a major disaster declaration that would provide federal aid in 51 counties, including 37 counties for individual aid and 46 for public assistance. Some of those counties overlap.

Severe weather between April 28 and May 11 caused record flooding on at least 12 rivers and major creeks. Three-hundred-sixty-nine homes were destroyed and 848 had major damage.

JUNCTION CITY, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas food distributor has recalled nearly 100,000 pounds (45,360 kilograms) of precooked sausage products that might contain metal.

The recall was announced Wednesday by Armour Eckrich Meats in Junction City.

The Food Safety and Inspection Service says the recall includes more than 8,000 cases of 16.6-ounce (460-gram) packages of “Eckrich Smok-y Cheddar Breakfast sausage, Naturally Hardwood Smoked.” The labels have the case or UPC code and a “27815 17984” with a use-by date of Aug. 17. The products also have the number “EST. 3JC” inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The products were distributed in Kansas, Arkansas, Indiana, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas.

The fully-cooked pork, turkey and beef breakfast sausage were produced and packaged from April 26 to April 28.

No injuries from consuming the meat have been reported.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Kansas House has approved a bill that would phase in a $280 million increase in the state’s spending on public schools over two years even though some members said the extra money isn’t enough to satisfy a court mandate.

The vote Thursday was 84-39. The bill goes next to the Senate.

The Kansas Supreme Court ruled in March that the state’s $4 billion a year in aid to its 286 school districts is inadequate. The court did not say exactly how much spending must increase when it set a June 30 deadline for lawmakers to pass a new school funding law.

Attorneys for the four school districts that sued the state consider the plan inadequate and Democrats predicted the court will reject it. Many Republicans disagreed.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Authorities have recovered the body of a man reported missing in a downtown Omaha lagoon.

Fire officials say sonar operated in a rescue boat found the body around 9:45 a.m. Thursday, and long poles were used to bring the body to the surface of the lagoon in Heartland of America Park. The man’s name hasn’t been released.

A 911 caller reported around 10 p.m. Wednesday that a man was crying for help from the lagoon, which is referred to as ConAgra Lake. A subsequent search was called off after about three hours and resumed around 8 a.m. Thursday.

The lagoon water is up to 19 feet deep in some places. It remains unclear why the man was in the water.

JUNCTION CITY, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas food distributor is voluntarily recalling nearly 100,000 pounds (45,360 kilograms) of precooked sausage that might contain metal.

Armour Eckrich Meats in Junction City announced the recall Wednesday of more than 8,000 cases of 16.6-ounce (460-gram) packages of “Eckrich Smok-y Cheddar Breakfast sausage, Naturally Hardwood Smoked.” The labels have the case code “27815 17984” with a use-by date of Aug. 17. The products also have the number “EST. 3JC” inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The products were distributed to food service customers in Kansas, Arkansas, Indiana, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas. Armour Eckrich says the pork, turkey and beef breakfast sausages were never distributed to retail customers and that the recall came after a single report of trace amounts of metal.

No injuries from consuming the meat have been reported.

MOBERLY, Mo. (AP) — An animal shelter in central Missouri has officially ended its use of a gas chamber to euthanize animals.

The Columbia Missourian reports the city of Moberly dismantled and discarded its gas chamber on Wednesday in exchange for a $3,000 grant from the Humane Society of the United States, which will fund training and other resources.

The Humane Society says Missouri is among four states with operational gas chambers in animal shelters, though Moberly Animal Control director Tasha Koeven says her facility’s chamber hadn’t been used since 2015.

The society’s state director in Missouri, Amanda Good, says using the chambers is inhumane and can prolong animals’ deaths. She recommends lethal injection by a veterinarian, which is the typical method to euthanize pets.

Moberly is about 35 miles north of Columbia.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A health system based in Kansas City, Missouri, has signed an agreement with Washington University in St. Louis that gives patients access to clinical trials through the university’s National Cancer Institute-supported research.

The Kansas City Star reports the agreement between St. Luke’s Health System and the university’s Alvin J. Siteman Cancer Center will take effect June 1. Patients should start having access to trials by late summer.

The partnership puts St. Luke’s in competition with the University of Kansas Health System, which has a National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center. Siteman is considered a “comprehensive” cancer center, which is one step above Kansas’ designation.

National Cancer Institute spokeswoman Shannon Hatch says it’s pointless to compare the two because each will offer some treatments that the other doesn’t provide.

CARBONDALE, Kan. (AP) — Fire officials have identified the victim of a deadly northeast Kansas fire as an 89-year-old man.

KSNT-TV reports that the Kansas Fire Marshal’s Office has identified Roger Edgar as the man killed early Monday in Carbondale. A dog was also died in the fire.

The cause of the blaze is undermined and still under investigation.

The total property loss is $75,000.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A bridge over Interstate 270 near St. Louis will be closed for the next three months.

The Missouri Department of Transportation and St. Louis Bridge closed the Big Bend Bridge Wednesday night.

The transportation department says the bridge was closed so crews can remove and replace the bridge deck.

The bridge is expected to reopen before school starts in August.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — A 15-year-old student is facing a possible felony charge after allegedly threatening a shooting at Battle High School in Columbia.

Police said in a news release the student was arrested Tuesday afternoon after school administrators reported a rumor about a possible school shooting on the last day of school.

An investigation determined enough information existed to arrest the male student on suspicion of making a terrorist threat, which is a felony.

The student’s name was not released.

Police said officers were confident the threat was eliminated but more officers will be at the school on Thursday.
