State seeks pause on mental hospital safety reforms
State Sen. Jim Denning of Overland Park urges Kansas to postpone federal certification efforts for Osawatomie State Hospital. He cites safety problems after reports of an employee rape and a patient engaging in inappropriate sexual behavior, arguing the pause would allow focused improvements. The CMS notification last month threatened Medicare funding.

Salvation Army kettle drive falls short of goal
Lt Matt Mc Cluer says Salvation Army kettle collections this year are far below the 2015 target. Bell ringers totaled about 59 000 dollars, roughly 30 000 under last year’s 88 000. He notes a full year remains to raise funds through other efforts and no budget cuts yet.
