City shuns legal counsel, sets mail ballot vote
Huss, Gwin press
ahead with ordinances
to expand commission
BY WILL MECHNIG
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT City commissioners Brigitte Brecheisen-Huss
and Greg Gwin pushed ahead
last week with a mail ballot
vote on a charter ordinance to
expand the commission from
three to five members, over the
protests of their colleague and
warnings from legal counsel
the election wont conform to
the Kansas Constitution.
County clerk Julie Heck
said last week the ballots will
be mailed July 25 with a noon
August 14 deadline.
The 2-1 vote once again
placed commissioner Jody
Cole opposed to her fellow commissioners. Cole, who opposed
the 3-to-5 move from the beginning since an advisory vote
approved it last fall and who
organized a successful petition
initiative that forced it to the
city ballot, said the costs and
risks were too high.
Cole told commissioners and
staff she could not in good conscience vote for a change that
would add $11,000 annually for
new commissioner salaries,
$7,600 dollars for a mail ballot election, and the possibility
of incurring litigation costs if
the city is sued for staging an
improper election.
There are so many other
places our city could put that
$20,000, Cole said.
The votes followed an extensive and tense debate between
Huss and Solander over the pertinent wording of the Kansas
Constitution with regard to the
conduct of mail ballot elections
specifically whether the law
called for a mail ballot or walk
in election and over questionable input and a voice mail
message received by Huss from
staff at the Kansas Secretary of
States office.
Last
month,
Solander
sent a memorandum to
Commissioners detailing the
portion of the constitution
dealing with charter ordinance
petition elections.
Article 5, Section 12 of
the Kansas Constitution,
Solander said, provides in pertinent part and the election
shall be conducted as elections
for officers and by the officers
handling such elections.
At the May 28th Commission
meeting, Solander added that
he believe[ed] the plain meaning of this require the referendum election to be held under
Kansas Law for the election
(of) a candidate; a person.
Solander had also drafted a
plan to place the question on
the regular ballot in 2020, with
new Commissioners taking
their seats in January of 2021.
Solander said he would draft
the ordinances as the commission directed if they desired a
mail ballot election, but that it
would be contrary to his legal
advice.
City commission meetings
have been consumed with dis-
cussion over the issue of expanding the Commission since last
years non-binding, advisory
election. Those in favor won
the election by 57 votes, but
the outcome prompted Huss
and Gwin to move forward
with that majority and pass a
charter ordinance expanding
the size of the commission at
an estimated expense of $11,000
per year. Cole mounted a successful petition initative to
have the measure placed on
the ballot as a binding vote,
but due to election deadlines
the vote could not be executed this coming November 2019.
A new ordinance moving the
change back to 2020 was drafted
and voted through by Huss and
Gwin, with the election vote
proscribed as well.
At the heart of the debate
between Solander and Huss
was whether or not a mail-ballot election can legally be used
for an election on a charter
ordinance that was not prompted by a petition. Solander
maintained only a traditional election is compatible with
provisions in the Kansas
Constitution; Huss sees nothing in the way of a mail ballot
election.
Huss referenced the same
language Solander cited in his
memo but then went on to highlight additional language in the
Kansas Constitution.
If one continues to read,
Huss said, (Article 5, Section
12) c 3, it goes on to say the govSEE DEBATE ON PAGE 1B

Some 200
Christian-affiliated teen youth
group workers will descend on
Anderson County next week
to begin a
week filled
with painting, spruceup and small
project construction for
the elderly
and
needy
in the local
area.
Its the third installment of
the Garnett Area Paint Project,
an effort undertaken by local
community activist Scott
Rogers and First Christian
Church Pastor Chris Goetz and
staffed by youth workers organized through Group Mission
Trips in Fort Collins, Colo.
Rogers said the workers
were expected to take on 35
area projets, with a group
assigned to each project all
week. Staff arrives in the local
area this weekend, and campers will be housed at Anderson
County Junior-Senior High
School next week.
Each camper will contribute
30 hours of labor toward the
projects, totalling about 6,000
man hours county wide. Rogers
said since the
first camp in
2013 and a followup in 2016,
projects completed by GAPP
have produced
some $500,000
in economic impact. Campers
come from all over the country
to take part in Group Mission
Trip projects.
Work projects will be
undertaken
in
Garnett,
Greeley, Colony, Kincaid and
Westphalia.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT More than 50 dual sport
motorcyclists are expected to converge
on Garnett this weekend to take part in
whats become one of the most popular
back roads and trails rides in the state.
The Kansas Dual Sport Safari is sponsored by the Garnett Lions Club, and
attracts riders from Oklahoma, Missouri
Nebraska, as well as Kansas riders from
as far away as Great Bend. The term
Dual Sport means the vehicles are street
legal but also built for off road and trail
conditions. The sport is sometimes called
Adventure Riding for its theme of staying off paved roads and in rural areas.
We keep hoping to bring in some guys
from Colorado, said Lions President
Dave Branton, but I guess thats just a
little too far to make the trip.
Branton said riders come from so far
away for two reasons. First, most like to
support a ride for a worthy civic organization. The local club uses proceeds
from rider registrations and sponsor support for its local civic projects and Lions
International sight-related service work.
The local club collects and
recycles both aluminum
and used eyeglasses at its
recycle drop on the parking lot of the GSSB branch
on Maple Street, and funds
various civic projects and
two scholarships per year.
Secondly, Branton said
Garnett lies on an interesting intersection of both
the Flint Hills to the west
and more hilly terrain to
the east that gives riders
a great mix of both scenery and topography. Back
roads riders will stick to
gravel roads and minimum
maintenance roads in the
rural areas of the county,
while trail riders at the
Safari will ride primarily
privately owned, timber
covered areas rich in water
crossings and steeper hills
that challenge their talents.
Your location and the
help of some of the private parties that let us use
their land gives the Safari
a set of combinations that
other rides dont have,

Rides may entail journeys

miles over back roads. While
dual sport riders celebrate staying off the pavement and away
from high-speed traffic, they
face other obstacles like livestock, deer, muddy roads, farm
equipment and loose gravel.
As a result they typically put
more emphasis on protective
gear than some road bike riders, with helmets, gloves and

HIGHTOWER
MAY 26, 1943-JUNE 11, 2019
Ray Hightower, age 76, of
Garnett, Kansas, passed away
on June 11, 2019, at home surrounded by family. Preceded
in death by his parents,
Raymond M.
Hightower,
Sr.
and
Rose (Pipi)
Hightower
and his brothers, Albert
and
Chris
Manuwai.
He is surHightower
vived by his
spouse, Janis
(Main) Hightower; sons, Bill
Hightower and wife Carrie;
Rick Hightower and wife
Suzanne; and Chris Hightower;
Seventeen grandchildren; and
three great granddaughters.
Today I picked up his flip
flops by the door and the heartache that I felt in that simple
act was overwhelming because
his bright light is forever shining in heaven. Ray is the love
of my life, my husband and
best friend and at times the biggest pain in my okole (English
meaning: rear end). I love him
and my life was so enriched
for spending the last 31 plus
years with him. His smile and
charm enlightened everyone
he touched. Thats what made
him a great salesman. His
friends swore he could sell ice
cubes to an Eskimo.
`As many of you know
Ray was a Hapa-Haole (50%
Hawaiian on his mothers
side and 50% Indianian on his
fathers side). He was very
proud of his Hawaiian heritage
and in lieu of a funeral service,
his ashes will be scattered in
the waters of his homeland. All
of Rays Hawaiian friends and
family called him Billy but
no one ever knew why. Billy
will get to ride the surf one
more time.
Ray had a very special bond
with his father, and that same
bond he shared with his oldest
son, Bill. Grandson Nicholas
said Regardless of what was
going on in my troubled life,
you could always make me
laugh and relax about it.
Barbara, his former assistant,
reminded us that every Friday
morning, Ray would blast the
song Bang on the drum all
day just to remind everyone
that the work week was coming to the end. Well I played
that song for Ray today to
remind him that his work on
earth is done.
Aloha wau e aloha nei e ike
hou wau ia oe.

again.

Will it be revival or revolution?
Dr. David Jeremiah made the
following quote. When you
teach people their rights you
have a revolution. When you
teach them their responsibilities you have a revival. If this
statement is true I would say
this country is closer to revolution than revival. Revolution
or revival dont happen suddenly.
The great Roman
Empire was never conquered it
collapsed from within. Gibbon
relates five reasons for the collapse. 1) Undermining of the
dignity of the home. 2) Higher
and higher taxes. 3) Mad craze
for pleasure. 4) Becoming more
brutal and immoral, building
of a great army. 5) The decay
of religion.
A failure of this type is
caused by the failure of government and individuals to take
responsibility for their actions.

after the death of Solomon the
Northern Kingdom went into

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, June 18, 2019
OPINION
Five-member foolishness puts city at risk
No matter how you compare the positives and
negatives of Garnett one thing is certain: as of
right now, the biggest dilemma our town faces is
one that was fabricated by two of our city commissioners, and that dilemma aims to expand
the size of the very government which conjured
up the problem to begin with.
Thats the only real measure by which to analyze the present 2-1 rift between commissioners
Brigitte Brecheisen-Huss, Greg Gwin and Jody
Cole. Its hard really impossible to imagine
what problems were so big in our community
that the only logical solution was to add two
members to the city commission.
The truth is, there werent any such challenges. The lesson here is a simple one but one that
anybody whos an active voter should understand: all too often government creates problems
instead of solving them.
The conflict falls squarely at Huss feet. So
impassioned was she that the interests of some
in Garnett were woefully underrepresented by
previous commissions that she formulated this
plan and even waxed poetic about it in a 16-stanza ode in the citys newsletter. Gwin jumped on
the bandwagon when the advisory vote agreed
by a slim margin and has rested on that win as
the only one that matters in his decision.
The problem with local government in small
towns is one that we all know but we dont want
to openly admit that not many smart, capable
people want to run for office because of all the
crap they have to put up with.
No one wants people gossiping about his or
her spouse at the grocery store, or to find out
that other kids are mimicking behind your kids
back at school what theyve heard their parents
talking about at home. To put up with that it
takes a special kind of civic toughness, and not
many people have it.
Indeed, commissioners dont have to have
technical knowledge and they dont need to
micromanage thats why they have a city manager, a city attorney and a crew compliment of
city staff. Where their role is irreplaceable is in
the big picture decisions building the communitys tax base by attracting industries and new
residents; protecting townsfolk from threats like
a decaying water treatment plant or the construction of a nearby wind farm. These decisions
require vision and a breadth of understanding of
whats really important to make a town flourish
and the toughness to stand by those decisions.
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
Garnetts city commission is no place for purveyors of rumor, tunnel vision and barstool wisdom,
but if we have to press too hard to fill extra seats
on the commission, those are the candidates
were likely to find.
If city manager Chris Weiner came up with
a plan to spend $11,000 per year on something
that brought a net loss in value to the city and
that plan had to continue ad infinitum, most of

Those are the towns, in the majority of the
land area of the state, where a school bus ride
might take 40 minutes, and where even on a
clear day, there isnt a Kwik Shop or a liquor
store in sight.
Those are the areas where there isnt much
representation in the Statehouse because the
populations are so small that a House district
can span a half-dozen counties, and a Senate
district even more.
In recent years when rural populations
have shrunk and the county courthouse is
the center of government for many, their
issues often have been overlooked. Oh, the
urban-dominated Legislature might OK an
exit ramp now and again to show interest or
may name a bridge after a local leader, but it
was mostly pandering.
And at every reapportionmentand theres
one coming up in 2022the political power of
those rural areas is diminished. More farm
kids are growing up to go be computer experts,
not farmers.
Well, theres an indication, and we wont
know for sure for a session or two, that there is
STATE COMMENTARY
MARTIN HAWVER, At The Rail
more interest in keeping rural areas economically strong, and that Kansans in those areas
get the same level of service that the cities
offer.
This interest started with the Kansas
House, which created a Rural Revitalization
Committee. Yes, a whole committee, chaired
by Rep. Don Hineman, R-Dighton, out in Lane
County, who lost his bid to be House Majority
Leader, but showed enough strength that he
could put forward a committee that will help
people back home.
And Gov. Laura Kelly and her Lieutenant
Governor Lynn Rogers, of Wichita, have created the Office of Rural Prosperity, and got $2
million to get it up and running and taking the
pulse of rural areas of the state.
That initiative, run out of Rogers
Statehouse office, is taking a tour of a dozen
small cities this summer to see what rural
areas need. While city folks have a choice of
Internet providers, there arent many options
in rural Kansas. That means that broadband
internet service needs to be expanded in areas
where it is going to take some state guidance
and assistance and who knows what else to
equalize access. Its not just so rural Kansans
can watch Netflix. Its so they can watch what
their government does, their kids can get
access to programs that small rural school
districts cant staff, they can get health-care
services from experts in areas where doctors
are few and miles apart.
The Rural Prosperity office will be on the
ground to see just what is needed in rural
areas to provide housing, economic development, tourism, and the infrastructure that city
folks and their representatives have access to.
Its a change in atmosphere in the
Statehouse, or at least the appearance of a
chance in atmosphere, that holds promise.
But just how that reach-out from the cities
to rural Kansas works isnt going to be easy.
The cultures are different, the access to nearly
everything is different.
Convincing city folk the importance to the
state of those rural areas is going to be complicated.
Lets hope that it works

NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
They argue that equality in the workplace is an important business issue, and it
is impossible to achieve without unrestricted
access to abortion. Any restriction threatens
the health, independence and economic stability of our employees and customers.
The idea that abortion is necessary for the
health of women is one of the most misleading pro-abortion cliches. Comprehensive data
from Florida last year shows that only a small
percentage involve a threat to the mothers life
or health, and pro-life laws account for such
cases — even the sweeping Alabama law has a
health exception.
The contention that restrictions put the
economy at risk is nonsensical. Are we sup-

CEOs: Abortion is good for business
Clarity of thought and expression about
moral issues is not a core competency of
CEOs.
If anyone had any doubt, look no further
than the historic pro-abortion statement by
nearly 200 CEOs that ran in a full-page ad in
The New York Times. It is a festival of absurdity and euphemism, an exercise in perverse
virtue-signaling to a progressive audience
that believes that maintaining one of the most
permissive pro-abortion regimes in the developed world is a virtue.
The CEOs define abortion as equality
(Dont Ban Equality) and, of course, refer to
it as comprehensive reproductive care, the
ubiquitous phrase that has the advantage of
sounding like the opposite of what its describing.
The CEOs contend that abortion is central
to their businesses, which might be true if
all of their companies had the same business
model as Planned Parenthood. But Bloomberg
L.P., Amalgamated Bank and H&M, to name
three of the companies whose CEOs signed
the ad, are hardly dependent on abortion to
thrive.
The old saw was, Whats good for General
Motors is good for America. Now, according
to top CEOs, whats good for abortion is good
for American business. They seem to consider
abortion a crucial component of GDP just like
personal consumption, business investment,
government spending and net exports.
Perserverance is the hard work you
do after you get tired of doing the hard
work you already did.
posed to believe that the reduction of the abortion rate in the U.S. from its high in 1980 of 29.3
abortions per 1,000 women of childbearing age
to its post-Roe v. Wade low of 14.6 as of 2014 has
been a calamity for corporate America?
By this standard, Utah must be a terrible
place to do business since its abortion rate is
so low, and the District of Columbia an enticing place to do business since its abortion rate
is so high. (To the contrary, Forbes ranks Utah
as the second-best state for business in the
country.)
The implication is that these CEOs prefer that their employees and customers not
become mothers, or if they are mothers, not
have more children. It apparently hasnt
occurred to them that unborn children will
grow up to buy their products or perhaps work
for their firms one day.
The CEO ad is another sign that the debate
over abortion has entered a new phase. It isnt
enough anymore to say that abortion should
be safe, legal and rare, the old Bill Clinton
formulation, because that implies a moral disapproval. Now, abortion is a positive good.
Pro-life laws will have to prevail against
this inflamed pro-abortion sentiment — and
the swath of big business that shares it.

Mason Ramsey, Lindsay Ell to headline
Kansas State Fairs new free concert series
For the first time in its history, the Kansas State Fair will
be offering a more intimate
concert experience on Tuesday
and Thursday night during the
10-day event and its free.
Two up-and-coming country acts will headline the new
free series at Bretz and Young
Injury Lawyers Arena. Mason
Ramsey, the 12-year-old Little
Hank Williams, will perform
Tuesday, Sept. 10. Lindsay
Ell, this years Country Music
Associations Newcomer of the
Year nominee, will take the
stage Thursday, Sept. 12, with
special guest Madison Kozak.
Both concerts start at 7:30 p.m.
Ells concert is sponsored by
First Choice Communications,
an authorized AT&T Retailer.
These two concerts are on
us, said the Fairs General
Manager Robin Jennison.
After decades of Tuesday and
Thursday grandstand concerts,
the Fair decided to move those
shows to Bretz and Young
Injury Lawyers Arena where
fairgoers can get a more closeup intimate experience with
entertainers.
This new venue will have
the same beverage amenities
available at the grandstand.
Beer sales in the arena will
start at 6 p.m. and end at the
end of the show. Food vendors
will also be available nearby.
Seating is first come, first
serve. Fairgoers will be able
to stand in front of the stage or
take a seat in the stands.
Our musical acts have long
been an anticipated part of
the Fair, Jennison said. Our
grandstand entertainment this
year is exceptional. However,
our lineup at Bretz and Young
are newer performers that you
are going to see a lot more of,
and you will see them first at
the Kansas State Fair.
Mason who over the
past year has become a social
media sensation-turned emerging country music star after
a video of him singing Hanks
Williams Lovesick Blues in
an Illinois Walmart went viral.

Meanwhile, Canadian guitarist Ell is one of Nashvilles
hottest prospects. She first
picked up a guitar at age 8
and has shredded with the

possibility of a lawsuit attacking the legality of the proposed
election.
Huss is not an attorney and
has never practiced law. When
asked by a Review reporter
about her legal credentials,
Huss confirmed that she is
not a member of the Kansas
State Bar Association and later
added that she thought there
was no relevance to that topic.
Solander said he received
a call from Deputy Assistant
Secretary of State Bryan
Caskey, who said while the
office refrains from getting
involved in local election
issues and defers to local counsel, the office does not hold
the position portrayed by the
staffer that left Huss a voicemail. Solander then said he did
not believe that Huss had correctly interpreted provisions
in the state constitution that
requires the calling of the
election as for ordinances on
petition; so its saying the same
thing, youre not reading it correctly. Huss disagreed, and
said she did not believe that
the Kansas Secretary of States
office would have left her a
voicemail saying that a mail
ballot election was not prohibited if that wasnt what they
believed. Solander informed
Huss that Caskey was the
supervisor of the staffer who
had called her, but Huss said
that didnt change her interpretation or opinion.
The two then disagreed over
the meaning of liberally construed as used in the text. Huss
ran with the concept whereas Solander believed that it
was a provision of Home Rule
authority designed to give local
governments control over substance and not process, such as
the way a given election is conducted. The exchange culminated in Solander calling Huss
interpretation of the Kansas
Constitution one of the most
strained readings of simple
English Ive ever heard of.
The local area hasnt seen a
mail ballot election since the
late 1980s when USD 365 voted
on an unsuccessful effort to
build a combined junior high
and elementary facility. More
details on the rules of the election will be announced at a

FTC: Businesses cant silence negative online customer reviews
OMAHA The Better Business
Bureau office serving the central plains is warning commercial businesses of an Federal
Trade Commission ruling that
companies cant silence negative reviews posted online by
their customers.
The FTC has recently issued
administrative complaints
against several businesses
they say threatened consumers
with legal action if they posted
negative customer reviews. It
discovered illegal gag clauses
in contracts at five businesses across the country, including rental companies and a
Massachusetts-based flooring
company.
The Consumer Review
Fairness Act of 2016 prohibits companies from including
any language in a contract that
would prevent consumers from
posting negative reviews.
Unfortunately, it has come
to BBBs attention that businesses in our region have
clauses in customer contracts
that attempt to prohibit customers from filing complaints
or posting negative reviews
as a result of a marketplace
interaction. Clearly, such
practices are prohibited by the
Consumer Review Fairness
Act, stated BBB President
Jim Hegarty. We encourage
consumers to notify us of any
attempts by a business to contractually prohibit them from
posting reviews about their
experience. Additionally, consumers who have been unsuccessful in resolving a dispute
with a business directly should
feel free to utilize BBBs dispute resolution services at bbb.
org to assist them in resolving
the issue. These services are
free of charge to the public.
Local businesses that are
found to be in violation of the
Consumer Review Fairness
Act will be asked by BBB to voluntarily discontinue the illegal
practice. Businesses failing to
cooperate will be referred to
the Federal Trade Commission
for prosecution.
Hegarty stated, I am not
unsympathetic to the chal-
lenges businesses are facing
in managing negative reviews,
but I encourage them to implement a structured process
for quick and calm responses. If youre a business owner,
chances are youll receive a
negative review at some point.
Although your first reaction
may be to defend your business
and prove the customer wrong,
its important to keep calm and
respond in a rational and professional way.
Hegarty also emphasized
that BBB is here to serve both
businesses and consumers and
has tools and tips to assist businesses with the management of
customer reviews.
The secret selling power of balloons
Youre a savvy business person. You know in order to continue to make an impression
on old customers and attract
new ones, you have to continually come up with new and
novel ideas. Something different is always worth a shot.
You know that some customers are buying today because
they have a direct want or
need. You know that some buyers will move into that want
or need phase at a later date,
and thats when you need to
have top of mind awareness
in their heads so they buy from
you and not someone else.
Which is why you need balloons. Or cheese.
When I was a kid, my folks
used to shop at the Farmers
Exchange grocery store owned
by what was then the Missouri
Farmers Association (MFA)
where we lived in southern
Missouri. The butcher would
always cut a piece of cheese off
the block and give it to us little kids when mom passed the
meat case. Ive remembered it
HOW TO SELL STUFF
Dane Hicks
Review Publisher
for 50 years.
Laugh if you want, but balloons rock; maybe even better
than cheese. Theyre cheap,
theyre fun (even for adults)
and they say something that a
printed coaster or koozie or ink
pen doesnt. They say Look at
me! Im fun!
A couple hundred balloons
printed with your logo only
costs a few bucks. A tank of
helium is a little more expensive but lasts forever. Combine
the two and your store becomes
just like the Land of Oz without
all the short people.
Does your restaurant have
a kids menu? Give away bal-
loons to every kid under 40
at the cash register. Have a
little front end space to spare?
Make a cool balloon archway
just inside your front door.
Blow up a bunch of them and
just weight them down outside
in your parking lot or near
your sidewalk. A bunch of balloons gets attention it says
Theres a party here!
If youre at an indoor event
of some kind you can even
make a game out of all the
balloons kids let go and end up
in the ceiling rafters. Roll over
a couple of pieces of tape and
stick them to the top and sides
of a balloon, tie on a long, long
piece of thin ribbon or string,
and see who can capture the
most balloons off the ceiling.
Youll come up with all
kinds of neat ideas once you
start blowing them up, because
nobodys really too far from 8
years old when it comes to balloons. And, after all, they can
help you sell stuff!

Olathe Health oncologist one of first
to treat rare cancer with new therapy
OLATHE The Olathe Health
Cancer Center is the first community site in the country to
successfully treat an aggressive cancer using a newly
approved FDA drug, the first
of its kind to treat this specific
form of malignancy.
Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is
a rare hematologic malgnancy
that can affect multiple organs,
including the lymph nodes and
skin. The exact incidence of
the disease is unknown, but
is estimated to represent 0.5
percent of all hematologic
malignancies. It acts similar to
an acute leukemia, and before
December 2018, there was no
FDA approved therapy to treat
BPDCN. According to the FDA,
prior to this new therapy the
treatment option available to
BPDCN patients was intensive chemotherapy followed
by bone marrow transplantation, which was too intensive
for many of these patients to
undergo.
Janet Leeker, 78, of Gardner,
was diagnosed with BPDCN
in December 2018. The disease
started with a few deep red/
purple lesions on her skin,
which quickly progressed to
about 30 lesions across her
body. She sought treatment
from Larry R. Corum, MD, a
medical oncologist at Olathe
Health Cancer Center who specializes in malignant blood disorders.
Because of Janets age, she
wasnt sure she wanted to
undergo an aggressive, traditional chemotherapy regimen.
Dr. Corum made her aware
of the new, targeted therapy,
Elzonris (tagraxofusp-ezrs),
which was approved by the
FDA just a few weeks prior. He
worked with the manufacturer,
the hospital pharmacists and
the inpatient staff at Olathe
Medical Center to get everything in place to administer
her first cycle, which was a
five-day infusion. Janet was
the second patient in the nation
to receive the drug after it was
made commercially available
in December.
Its amazing to me that a
molecularly targeted therapy
for such an incredibly rare disease would be developed and
brought through the entire
process to FDA approval, Dr.
Corum said. The timing for
Janet was perfect, since the
drug had just become available
weeks before her diagnosis.
There are a number of cautions
with this drug, but Janet had
little to no side effects. After
three days of treatment, her
nodules appeared to be diminishing, and after a week they
were almost complete gone. It
was exciting to witness.
For her second cycle, Dr.
Corum administered her treatment in the Olathe Health
Cancer Center as an outpatient
procedure, becoming the first
in the country to do so. After a
few additional cycles of treatment, Janet is now in complete
remission. As part of the main-
tenance program, she continues to receive the therapy at
Olathe Health Cancer Center
every three weeks.
This was an exciting
challenge for the pharmacy
department, as patients like
this are usually seen at large
academic hospitals, Divine
Chi, Pharm.D, BCPS, Oncology
Clinic Pharmacist at Olathe
Health Cancer Center, said.
We always strive to make the
latest pharmaceutical advances available to our patients. In
cases like this, we also must
work quickly to assure that a
thorough review of the medication is completed to assure
appropriate storage, preparation, administration, and monitoring in order to optimize
patient efficacy and safety.
Janet is looking forward to
attending a family wedding
in June with her three children and grandchildren. Her
treatments havent slowed her
down. She is retired and says
she is busier than ever.
Governor requests disaster relief from SBA
TOPEKA Governor Laura
Kelly sent a disaster declaration request to the Small
Business Administration for
damage caused by an EF4
tornado that passed through
the center of Douglas County,
Kansas, on May 28.
The damage caused by the
tornadoes stretched far and
wide, Kelly said. Its important we get affected individuals
and families back on the path
to recovery. We must do everything we can to help rebuild
our communities.
The tornado destroyed and
severely damaged numerous homes and businesses
along its nearly one-mile wide
track. Twenty-eight tornadoes
occurred across the state on
May 28, with reports of damage
in north central and northeast
Kansas.
Joint preliminary damage
assessments were conducted
between the State and SBA
last week. After joint preliminary damage assessment
between county emergency management, the state of
Kansas and the Small Business
Administration, it has been
determined that damages
potentially meet the threshold
for a declaration from the Small
Business Administration.
If a declaration is granted for
Douglas County the contiguous
counties (Franklin, Jefferson,
Johnson, Leavenworth, Miami,
Osage, and Shawnee) will be
eligible to apply if they experienced tornado damaged on

June 2009
A Garnett native who made
a career in commercial art
now has one more notch in his
belt after designing the 50th
Anniversary logo for the Kansas
City Chiefs. Gerald Hirt, who
grew up in Harris and graduated from Garnett High School in
1974, has been doing commercial artwork since getting his
college art degree in 1977. Hirt
said his experience with the
Chiefs football team began after
he started working for a commercial marketing company
called Premier. Hirts company is called Jerry Hirt Design
and Illustration. Officials for
the team saw some of Hirts
artwork at an NFL banquet and
liked what they saw. They later
hired him to design their ticket
flat and media guide. Hes been
working with the Chiefs since
2002.

told Lickteig the cabin must
be moved, preferably within
the next 60 days, otherwise the

Lawrence Kellerman said the
call was received about 6:45

June 1919
Good roads have long been in
need. Today they are a necessity. Instead of putting off road
improvements until the war is
over, we need to make immediately road development imperative. The country can produce
plenty of food and supplies if
we can transport them where
they are needed. The motor car
and the motor truck can do the
work if the roads are put in
shape and kept in shape. It is
not too much to say that bad
roads in America threaten the
lives of our men fighting on the
front. They must have munitions, food, and equipment, and
these must be taken to them
over roads here as well as
abroad. Do your part by boosting road improvement in your
community. The time to start
is now.
June, July tornadoes predicted below normal
NEW YORK AccuWeather predicts that
the number of tornadoes in June and July
will be below normal and dramatically
lower than the near-record-setting total
that occurred in May.
AccuWeathers forecast of 175 tornadoes in June is 23.5% lower than normal
for the month; the 25-year average for
U.S. tornadoes in June is 229. For July,
AccuWeather predicts 90 tornadoes will
touch down, which is 26.8% fewer than
the 25-year average for July tornadoes of
123.
AccuWeather now predicts the total
number of tornadoes for 2019 will be
between 1,275 and 1,300.
So far this year, 1,113 tornadoes have
been reported in the U.S., though those
are just preliminary numbers and not
confirmed. There were 1,169 tornadoes in
2018 and the U.S. annual average is 1,141.
Tornado season typically eases up later in
the summer and into the fall.
Because of the pace of tornadoes in
April and May, were in the higher percentile of tornadoes for the year, but now
that percentile is going to go down a good
bit faster, said AccuWeather Lead LongRange Meteorologist Paul Pastelok. On
average, the frequency of tornadoes goes
down in June and July, but we think its
going to be a big drop down.
In May, 555 tornadoes were reported
in the U.S. — though those figures are
preliminary and not confirmed reports.
The previous recorded high confirmed
for May was 542 in 2003, while the 25-year
average for May is 269.

NFIB criticizes Kansas Supreme Court
ruling on lawsuit damages to businesses
TOPEKA (June 14, 2019) NFIB
State Director Dan Murray
released the following statement today in response to
todays decision by the Kansas
Supreme Court that the states
statutory cap on non-economic
damages is unconstitutional:
We are very disappointed in todays decision by the
state Supreme Court, Murray
said. Our members supported
the legislatures efforts to the
amount of non-economic damages a plaintiff can be awarded
in a civil action.
Small businesses are espe-
cially vulnerable to bogus and
abusive litigation, Murray
said. One overzealous jury
award could be enough to put a
small business out of business.
We look forward to working with legislative leaders on
commonsense legislation that
serves the interests of Kansans
and Kansas small businesses.
NFIB is the nations leading
small business advocacy organization. To learn more about
