Paola case argued again in Kansas Supreme Court
An oil company seeks to overturn a Miami County jury verdict ordering Conoco Inc to pay 12.5 million to a worker severely injured in a plant explosion at J and J Metal Products in Paola. The case, tied to a defective product claim, marks the largest civil award in Kansas, with two of three workers dead and families settling. J and J avoided 2.65 million under workers compensation.

Panel cites sore spots in emergency services
The EMS panel recommends a first response system with trained responders, photo IDs, and basic first aid kits to speed aid and keep hospitals informed en route. They urge two goals: improve immediate care countywide and define viable professional emergency services with coordinated education, public awareness, and disaster drills. A joint county committee is proposed to align all units and residents toward better emergency medical care.

County emergency plan criticized for neglecting 911 backup
INDIANAPOLIS AP Becki and Keith Dilley welcomed sextuplets in four minutes at the Women’s Hospital, while local officials warned the county’s disaster plan is outdated since 1991 and lacks an emergency center. The committee urged agency-led changes and a part time coordinator to unclog duties as Ottawa Fire Chief Richard Towe noted the absence of a formal disaster plan.
