Tim Leiker of Garden City and Valerie Lawrence of Biloxi Mississippi share a celebration in Garden City. The event highlights may reflect a community gathering with notable participants from the region.
El Remedio Market on Fulton Street hosted a large Cinco de Mayo party with blocked parking, music, and food stalls for an estimated 1 500 to 2 000 attendees. Canuto and Maria Perez danced while Victor Majalca and staff prepared corn on the cob with mayonnaise cheese and chili. Juan Andrade, owner, says the event has run about 18 years as a tradition drawing families like the Aguilars and locals to celebrate Mexican heritage.
Dr. Richard Besser of the CDC warned that while signs of a leveling threat exist it is premature to declare the swine flu situation under control. He noted the illness resembles seasonal flu but without the feared severe cases and cited about 247 confirmed U S cases across 35 states and an annual winter flu death toll of around 36 000 as reasons to stay vigilant.
Kansas officials report two more presumptively confirmed swine flu cases, possibly raising state total to four with one probable case in Johnson County awaiting further testing. KDHE cites new test kits from CDC and notes cases in Sedgwick and Johnson counties. Officials expect more announcements soon and treat current cases as confirmed pending verification.
Jim Belknap, a Garden City Wal Mart employee and lifelong volunteer, has raised 30 000 to 40 000 over ten years for the Big Brothers Big Sisters program in Finney and Kearny counties. He funds the BBBS Bowl for Kids Sake by calling hundreds of donors, supporting youth mentorship and bikes for kids.
