Ray Nolting/Sun photo  Labette County Public Works track hoe operator Rex Haraughty lifts a large whistle pipe from Town Creek on 3000 Road west of Xavier Road near Chetopa Tuesday morning. Four of the six pieces of the whistle pipe were dislodged as their rock base washed away during the recent flooding. Four large sections of pipe were to be removed and repositioned. Two remained in place. Ed Rakestraw was helping Haraughty with the work and had connected the log chain to the whistle pipe and then to the track hoe bucket.
