Latest Poll Has Kobach Leading Crowded Race

Press Release

TOPEKA - Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach holds a 9-percentage-point lead in the race for Kansas governor, according to a recent poll.

"Our lead in the poll reveals why the Colyer campaign has launched so many desperate, negative attacks against Kris Kobach, and it explains why the liberal, George Soros-funded ACLU, and dark money groups are spending resources in Kansas for Colyer. They know Colyer will cave on issues that are important to conservatives, and they know Kris Kobach is a consistent conservative who won't back down," said Danedri Herbert, Kansans for Kobach communications director.

Among likely Republicans voters, 34 percent said they planned to vote for Kris Kobach for governor, and 25 percent said they planned to vote for Jeff Colyer. Twenty percent of those polled are undecided.

"The poll also shows that Jim Barnett is the obvious choice of moderate Republicans, especially those who favor Medicaid expansion," Herbert said. "Ken Selzer's numbers almost doubled from our last poll, showing he is on the move heading into Election Day. We expect Colyer to continue to lose support as Kansans learn that he is backed by the liberal, George Soros-funded ACLU, and other liberal, dark money groups."

JMC Analytics and Polling conducted the poll of 500 registered Republicans July 25-27. The margin of error is 4.4 percent.

Kansas Wesleyan Selects Jason Schweer to Lead Wrestling Program

Press Release

---

Kansas Wesleyan University has selected Jason Schweer as its next wrestling coach as announced by Vice President and Director of Athletics Mike Hermann. Schweer comes to Kansas Wesleyan after serving as an assistant coach at University of the Ozarks in Clarksville, Ark.

“As an assistant coach, Jason has learned what it takes to build a young wrestling program. He’s done it twice. His alma mater, Grand View, where he spent two seasons as an assistant coach after his collegiate career ended, has become the NAIA standard-bearer,” Hermann said. “Ozarks has improved in each of his three seasons there, sending multiple wrestlers to the NCAA Division III national championship last year. I’m confident those experiences will serve him well as builds on the foundation of the Kansas Wrestling program as we enter our third year at the varsity level.”

“I want to thank President Dr. Matt Thompson and Athletic Director Mike Hermann for believing in me and giving me a chance to become a head coach. There's also a boatload of people I need to thank that have been a part of my journey up until this point,” Schweer said. “I want to say thank you to all of my coaches through the years that have been role models: Rick Caldwell, Mark Schwab, Nick Mitchell, Paul Reedy, Grant Turner and especially Coach Jimmy May for getting this program started in the first place and convincing me that I am the right man for the job. A special thank you to my coaching colleagues at the University of the Ozarks -- Jason Zastrow and LeRoy Gardner -- they've played tremendous roles in developing me as a coach and preparing me for this tremendous opportunity. Lastly, I need to send a special thank you to my mother, Danise Schweer; without her, none of this would be possible.”

Jason Schweer

Schweer comes to Kansas Wesleyan after spending the last three seasons as an assistant coach at University of the Ozarks, where he helped develop a new program into a competitive program at the NCAA Division III level. While at Ozarks, he helped the Eagles post their first-ever winning season in 2016-17 while also earning the program’s first-ever individual win at an NCAA Regional that year. The Eagles placed fourth in the 2017 Southeast Conference Tournament and had nine Top-7 finishers at the event.

“Kansas Wesleyan is a close-knit community, and that was evident the second I stepped on campus. From the top down, I am confident I will have the support and structure to help the program grow and flourish. Outside of the on-campus support, the community of Salina has a rich wrestling history and many supportive community members that are hungry to be involved in the growth of the Coyote Wrestling family,” Schweer added. “I am fired up to take the reins of this program in this community. This is a great environment for a young program to grow and develop, and to be a part of getting this program off the ground is an amazing opportunity. We have all the tools we need to be very successful here, now it’s time to get work.”

Schweer is ready to become a part of what is already a strong group in the Salina wrestling community, something that he is really looking forward to.

“I'm fired up to get involved with the Salina wrestling community,” he said. “This sport has taught me and given me so much, I can't wait to give back to it, especially within this community. The more we can work together, the better it will be for all of those involved. I've already gotten a short list of folks to reach out to, and I'm excited to get some folks together, sit down, and figure out how we can all work together to advance not just the KWU wrestling program, but also the sport of wrestling here in Salina and across the area.”

In 2018, he helped the Eagles post a 3-1 record at home and saw the team win the Richland College Southwest Scuffle. Schweer also helped the Eagles improve four spots at the NCAA Regional from the previous year and saw the program yield its first-ever NCAA Division III National Qualifiers. Also in 2018, the program had two NWCA All-Academic Team honorees.

Schweer also says that while his team will be young to start, expect the brand of wrestling to be exciting to watch and for the student-athletes to be focused both on the mat and in the classroom.

“We're young and pretty green, and we'll be on the lower end numbers-wise. We will take some lumps here early on, and we'll be better because of it. We're going to be tough. Tough times make tough people. We're going to do the work, and that's not just on the mat. I have high expectations for my guys to work their tails off in the classroom,” he said. “If they can take care of school and be the best representations of themselves in their personal lives and as community members, we'll have all the time in the world to get better at wrestling. That's the fun stuff. I believe in preparing my athletes to live life fully; we'll be well-rounded individuals. Wrestling won't last forever, but the lessons learned through our great sport are what will leave a lasting impact on each and every person that commits to being a part of the KWU Wrestling Family.”

Prior to Ozarks, Schweer served as an assistant coach for two seasons at Grand View University. While at Grand View, the Vikings won two NAIA National Championships, part of their current run of seven straight titles, had 24 National Qualifiers, 20 NAIA All-Americans and six NAIA National Champions.

Schweer graduated from Grand View University with a degree in sports management in 2012. He was part of Grand View’s 2012 NAIA National Championship team and was a Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athlete during that time. Before Grand View, he was a two-time NJCAA Academic All-American Award recipient at North Iowa Area Community College and helped the Trojans to a fourth-place finish at the 2008 NJCAA National Championships and a second place finish at the 2009 NJCAA National Duals.

WIC Benefits Now Available by Electronic Benefit Transfer Statewide

TOPEKA –  (Press Release)  - The federal Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program, administered by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment serves 30,800 families across the state. Historically, food available through the program could only be acquired at grocery stores utilizing paper checks. However, the federal government now requires states to issue an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card to recipients to purchase food benefits.

The pilot to test the use of the card launched in September 2017 in Shawnee County. The $3.2 million conversion to eWIC was funded by the United States Department of Agriculture. All states are required to implement EBT WIC programs by Oct. 1, 2020.

“This technology project came in on time and within budget,” David Thomason, Kansas WIC Director said. “The alternative to paper checks has been well received by our clients and merchants.”

WIC provides participant-centered nutrition education, healthy food and breastfeeding support to low-income families. Once a family qualifies for WIC, they are allotted foods to meet their nutrition needs, through grocery stores, using the EBT card. At the register, the family will first swipe their eWIC card to deduct the cost of approved items. They will then pay for any remaining items with another form of payment. As a fraud deterrent, the EBT card requires a PIN to access benefits.

WIC provides services at more than 100 clinic sites throughout Kansas and currently serves approximately 50,200 women, infants, and children under five.

Barnett Receives Endorsement of Teachers Group

Topeka (Press Release) – Jim Barnett, candidate for the Republican nomination for governor,
announced today he has received the endorsement of the American Federation of
Teachers-Kansas (AFT-Kansas), a consortium of employee groups of teachers, nurses,
and workers in higher education institutions.

“In addition, AFT-Kansas also has city, county and state employee members
in all 105 counties” Barnett said. “The endorsement seems especially significant to me
at this point in our campaign in light of the fact that my two main opponents, Colyer
and Kobach, are spending their time and resources accusing each other of lying and
crawling over each other to appear the most pro-gun, pro-life and anti-immigrant,”
Barnett stated.

“We believe Republicans in Kansas have had more than enough of listening to
dirty politics. We seek the support of informed Kansas Republicans who will vote on
the basis of past performance in public office, including my record in the Kansas
Senate where I proudly represented the people of Kansas and the 17th Senatorial
District in particular,” Barnett said.

Employee unions affiliated with AFT include the Kansas Organization of State
Employees (KOSE), United Teachers of Wichita, City of Topeka Employees Union,
WSU Employees Union, PSU Employees Union, KSU Employees Union, KU Graduate
Teaching Assistants Coalition, Three Lakes Educational Cooperative, Kansas
University Nurses Association, Saline County Association of Public Employees, and the
University Police Employees Association.
Barnett said the AFT advised him that “our values on issues important to
working Kansans are in alignment.”
The AFT said in their letter advising Barnett and his lieutenant governor
designee, Rosie Hansen, that the KAPE Committee on Political Education, the group’s
political action committee is

“happy to offer our voting recommendation for your
success in the upcoming Republican primary elections for Governor/Lt. Governor for
the State of Kansas”.

JIM FOR GOVERNOR
ROSIE HANSEN FOR LT. GOVERNOR

“We are grateful for you seeking the noble office of public service. This will be
an exciting election and we look forward to working with you in the near future,” 

the AFT letter concluded.

Half of Kansas Identified as High Risk for West Nile Virus

KDHE Press Release

Kansas West Nile Virus Risk

TOPEKA – The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has issued a high-risk warning for West Nile virus infections (WNV) for northcentral, southcentral, and southwest Kansas. Northeast, southeast, and northwest Kansas are at moderate risk for WNV infections.

West Nile virus can be spread to people through mosquito bites, but it is not spread from person to person. About one in five people who are infected develop a fever and other symptoms. About one out of 150 infected people develop swelling of the brain or brain tissue, that in some cases, can result in death. There are no vaccines or medications to treat WNV. People who have had WNV before are considered immune.

“Know your risk and take action to prevent mosquito bites to protect yourself and your family against West Nile virus”, said Dr. Greg Lakin, State Health Officer.” 

KDHE recommends the following prevention measures:

• Visit the KDHE WNV website weekly to learn about the current WNV risk level; http://www.kdheks.gov/epi/arboviral_disease.htm
• When you are outdoors, use insect repellent containing an EPA-registered active ingredient on skin and clothing, including DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus, or IR3535. Follow the directions on the package.
• Many mosquitoes are most active at dusk and dawn. Be sure to use insect repellent and wear long sleeves and pants at these times, or consider staying indoors during these hours.
• The elderly or those with a weakened immune system should consider limiting their exposure outside during dusk and dawn when the Culex species mosquitos are most active.
• Make sure you have good screens on your windows and doors to keep mosquitoes out.
• Get rid of mosquito breeding sites by emptying standing water from flower pots, buckets, and barrels. Change the water in pet dishes and replace the water in bird baths weekly. Drill holes in tire swings so water drains out. Keep children's wading pools empty and on their sides when they aren't being used.
• Horses can also be infected with WNV. Talk with your veterinarian about vaccinating your horse to protect them against WNV.

Most WNV infections occur in the late summer and early fall. Although there have been no cases of WNV reported to KDHE in 2018 there have been more than 600 cases of the most severe form of WNV and 30 deaths in Kansas from 1999-2017.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provides this webpage with additional information about West Nile virus and preventing mosquito bites: http://www.cdc.gov/features/StopMosquitoes/.  For questions about West Nile virus or other Arboviral diseases contact the KDHE Epidemiology hotline at 877-427-7317.

Outbreak of Salmonella Infections Linked to Hy-Vee Spring Pasta Salad

KDHE Press Release

---

TOPEKA –The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE), the Kansas Department of Agriculture (KDA), the Johnson County Department of Health and Environment (JCDHE), public health and regulatory officials in several states, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration are investigating a multistate outbreak ofSalmonellaSandiego infections. Spring Pasta Salad purchased at Hy-Vee grocery stores is a likely source of the outbreak.

The KDHE says HyVee Spring Pasta Salad
is linked to a salmonella outbreak.

As of July 17, the CDC reported 21 people infected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella Sandiego from five states. On July 20, KDHE and JCDHE identified one infected person, an adult resident of Johnson County.

“Any individuals who have this in their refrigerator should return the recalled Spring Pasta Salad to the store for a refund or throw it away,” said KDHE Chief Medical Officer Dr. Greg Lakin. “Even if some of it was eaten and no one got sick, do not eat it. If you stored recalled pasta salad in another container, throw the pasta salad away. Thoroughly wash the container with warm, soapy water before using it again, to remove harmful germs that could contaminate other food,” Lakin said.

The Spring Pasta Salad was sold in Kansas Hy-Vee stores before Hy-Vee removed it from all its locations on July 16. Kansans should check their refrigerators to ensure they do not eat the recalled pasta salad. The Spring Pasta Salad includes shell pasta, carrots, celery, cucumbers, green pepper, onion, and mayonnaise. It was sold in one-pound (16 oz.) and three-pound (48 oz.) plastic containers or may have been scooped at the deli counter into clear plastic containers. The recalled pasta salad was sold in all Hy-Vee grocery stores in Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wisconsin. The expiration dates for the recalled pasta salad range from June 22, 2018, to Aug. 3, 2018.

Contact a health care provider if you think you got sick from eating recalled Hy-Vee Spring Pasta Salad. Most people infected with Salmonella develop diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps 12 to 96 hours after being exposed to the bacteria. The illness usually lasts four to seven days, and most people recover without treatment. In some people; the diarrhea may be so severe that the patient needs to be hospitalized. Salmonella infection may spread from the intestines to the bloodstream and then to other places in the body. Children younger than five years, adults older than 65 years, and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to have a severe illness.

Hawver: Slow Internet Causing You to Grind Your Teeth?

Martin Hawver

---

For you folks who grind your teeth when that little circular arrow is spinning on your computer, or who see the screen on your computer go blank during that Netflix movie, well, help eventually may be on the way.

That help? The Statewide Broadband Expansion Planning Task Force, which is the Legislature’s start on making sure that from border to border there is fast, reliable and affordable broadband Internet access.

Martin Hawver

And for you folks who by now try to remember where you put your walker before heading out to pick up the newspaper on the driveway, this is a whole new level of “universal access.” The old version? That was when the state’s effort was to make sure that everyone in Kansas had access to a black dial telephone back when phone poles were sparse in areas where cattle outnumbered Kansans and where there were more combines than lawn mowers.

The effort: To first map out the areas of the state where access to fast Internet service is important to Kansans, to businesses and industries and to governments and organizations. That’s going to be tricky, because nobody doesn’t want the fastest Internet available, whether it’s for watching movies, sending e-mails, the kids doing school work at home or competing for contracts for intellectual services.

It’s different than the old days when a paved road was a major boost for economic development, isn’t it?

The issue has turned out to be not just a rural issue where cell towers and cable services are sparse and a hill or a grain elevator can hamper that fast Internet service. There are blocks in major Kansas cities where the skies are obstructed by cable wires and a forest of antennae atop buildings, there are down times when that service isn’t available or your computer or phone can’t get on line.

Figuring out where that Internet over wire or through the airwaves is substandard or not dependable is going to be tough. For rural areas, it’s going to require cooperation among providers and some cost sharing between state and federal governments and the providers of Internet access to get that signal everywhere—at a profit.

Because, now that we’ve all got phones, broadband Internet access is joining water, electricity and mail as basic services that Kansans are demanding.

At some point, it’s probably a good thing that the Legislature has decided to jump into the complicated issue of getting that broadband to everywhere in the state, and to some point, it’s going to be interesting to see where the priorities are on that service.

Spend money, or maybe impose a tax on Internet service so that the high-demand areas help finance the rural areas? That’s what happened with telephone service, as your phone bill tells you.

Does that access become a right, like access to public schools, which by the way want more broadband access so that students can study from home and the schools can provide study materials from around the world, not just the occasional e-mail or those textbooks which once printed aren’t updated?

It’s going to be interesting to watch and important for the state…

But…those little circular arrows are spinning on the task force, because its members haven’t all been designated by legislative leaders, and there’s not a list yet of the non-legislative members who are supposed to figure this broadband business out for us.

Yes, there is this election coming up, and in some rural areas of the state there are candidates talking about bringing high-speed broadband to every acre of Kansas.

But for now, that little arrow is still spinning…
