In Western Kansas a county attorney blasted a sheriff after a jail prisoner escaped. The sheriff retorted that many jails can be broken with a can opener and lamented that holding a prisoner for six months before trial signals a flawed justice system. He argued most counties are crowded and inefficient.
Taxpayers are reluctant to act against issues, and justice is too slow despite constitutional guarantees of a speedy trial. Crowded dockets, lazy or inexperienced prosecutors, and delaying defense tactics slow trials. Prolonged processing leads to more pretrial bonds and public harm, prompting calls for court order and efficiency.
Dr. George Zubowicz of Osawatomie warns that proposed 10 to 15 percent budget reductions for state mental institutions could turn facilities in Topeka, Larned and Osawatomie into “warehouses of humanity.” He cites potential loss of up to 200 workers and a drop in treatment effectiveness, urging lawmakers to consider the long term costs of confinement over treatment.

Dr Thosteson explains drafts may bother some, but not cause colds, and discusses numb arms at night, possible nerve pressure, and arthritis in the neck. Also covers rubella vaccine concerns during pregnancy, late menstruation in a teen, and closes with a prayer.
