Dear Doctors: Can you please discuss sensory processing disorder? Our 17-yearold daughter has it, but help is sketchy. What kind of professional is best to deal with this disorder? So far, all we know is what we have read on the internet. Any information is greatly appreciated.
Routine audit? It’s been announced by Harvey County that the County Treasurers Office will be closed for four days for a “Routine Audit”. If this is a “Routine Audit”, then was it done the last two times that the County Treasurer Leadership has changed? If it wasn’t done, why not? If it was done, then how could there have been any of the allegations thrown around about discrepancies? It seems to me that if a “Routine Audit” was done every time the Treasurer Office Leadership changed, then any competent Auditor should have been able to either lay allegations to rest, or prove that they were true.
Election night provided a win locally, one that is not a win for a singular person but for an entire community. Voters in Newton USD 373 approved an $8.4 million bond to repair Santa Fe 5/6 Center and Lindley Hall.
The 11th hour has become synonymous with Veterans Day, originally called Armistice day, in recognition of the document signed at the 11th hour, or the 11th day, of the 11th month. In reality, the Armistice ending the war to end all wars was signed around 5 am on November 11th. Over the course of the next 6 hours, nearly 3,000 men would lose their lives in the final hours of a war that had already claimed the lives of 20 million military personnel. The final death of WW1 came at 10:59 am one minute before the guns of war would fall silent.
“Election Day” has become a fuzzy concept lately: Officially it falls on “the Tuesday next after the first Monday in the month of November,” but most states offer early voting in person or by mail these days.

There’s something to be said about waking up to the sound of rain on a roof and thunder rumbling in the distance. Add in a dash of lightning momentarily highlighting an otherwise dark sky, and we have the start of a glorious fall day!
At a recent conference at Wichita State University, four political observers were asked to make their predictions for next week’s elections. All four said they believed Sharice Davids would win re-election in the Third Congressional District; three out of the four said they believed Governor Laura Kelly would be re-elected; and two out of the four said they believed Chris Mann would defeat Kris Kobach and be elected Kansas’s attorney general. But further down the ballot?
Sixty-two percent of Republicans believe that America should be declared a Christian country, even though they also understand such a declaration would be unconstitutional. Christian nationalists do not believe in the separation of church and state.
After elections, many Americans will soon watch a re-run of the 1946 classic “It’s a Wonderful Life.” What directions will our elected officials take us. On one side we have George Bailey (Jimmy Stewart) who gave up his personal dreams in order to manage a “building and loan” to help his community.
