Concerned about Ebola? Chief Medical Officer for KU answers eight crucial questions

Lee Norman, MD, chief medical offi-cer for The University of Kansas Hospi-tal, advisor to Homeland Security andbio-security advisor to the state ofKansas predicted the first case of EbolaVirus Disease (EVD) would reach theU.S. by the end of September. Now thatit has arrived, Dr. Norman says com-munication and calm are important.He answers eight key questions:

Q: Is screening at overseas’ airportsworking? Can it be expected to work?

A: No and no. The reasons includepatients might not be symptomatic,they might be in the incubation period,they might lie about how they feel to getout of the country and they could besick from something else such asmalaria.

Q: Can we logistically screen at ourUnited States borders?

A: In theory yes, but it is not verypractical for the same reasons above. Itwill be hard to train those who would bescreening at the level of sophistication

that could discern mildly ill people. It isimportant that people who have beentraveling to infected areas tell theirhealth care providers about their travel,and it’s important for health care work-ers to ask people who present withsymptoms about their recent travel.

Q: Ten thousand travelers per weekcome here from West Africa and proba-bly more are coming in via interval citiesthat we don't even know about. Do weneed to restrict flights and travelers fromcoming here?

A: There is no restriction now, but ithas been discussed as a possibilityshould the outbreak become moreglobal.

Q: How long will it be before law-and-order is restored sufficiently to actuallyhave a true situation assessment “overthere”?

A: Some provinces in those countriesare already secure, but other areas arestill in considerable turmoil and will

Driving defensively duringthe Kansas deer season is amust, according to SandyPraeger, Commissioner of In-surance.

“The reality of driving onKansas roads and highwaysthis time of year is the possibleencounter with a deer,” Com-missioner Praeger said. “Andthat encounter could result incostly vehicle repairs.”

A report from State Farm In-surance, using Federal HighwayAdministration data, said thatKansas has the 22nd-highestfrequency in deer-vehiclemishaps in the United States.The chance of a driver having acollision with a deer in Kansasthis fall is one in 137.

The average property dam-age from a deer-vehicle collisionis estimated at $3,888, a jumpof nearly $400 from last year’sestimate, according to the cur-rent State Farm study.

The top five states where adriver is most likely to hit a deer

are West Virginia, Pennsylvania,Montana, Iowa and SouthDakota. Overall, drivers in theUnited States are three percentmore likely to hit a deer in thenext 12 months than they werelast year.

Mid-fall and mid-spring arelikely times of the year for deerto be seen on Kansas roadways,because of breeding habits dur-ing the fall and growth of vege-tation during the spring.Sunrise and sunset are thetimes deer are most active.

Commissioner Praeger urgesKansas motorists to check withtheir insurance agents to findout the type of vehicle accidentdamage coverage their policieshave. Then, if a deer accidentoccurs, a policyholder shouldcontact his or her insuranceagent or company quickly tobegin the claims process.

When an accident occurs,motorists should consider thefollowing:• If you do hit a deer and are

uncertain whether the animal isdead, keep your distance. Youmight be dealing with an in-jured, wild animal with sharphooves.• If the deer is blocking theroadway and poses a danger toother motorists, you should im-mediately report the incident tothe local law enforcementagency.• Deer accidents are usuallycovered under a person’s com-prehensive coverage, not colli-sion coverage.

To help avoid deer-vehiclecollisions, CommissionerPraeger suggests the following:• Stay alert, always wear yourseat belt and drive at a safe,sensible speed for conditions.• Watch for the reflection ofdeer eyes and for deer silhou-ettes on the shoulder of theroad.• Do not rely exclusively on de-vices such as deer whistles, deerfences and reflectors to deterdeer.

• When driving at night, usehigh-beam headlights whenthere is no opposing traffic. Thehigh beams will illuminate theeyes of deer on or near a road-way.• Brake firmly when you no-tice a deer in or near your path,but stay in your lane. Many se-rious accidents occur whendrivers swerve to avoid a deerand hit other vehicles or losecontrol of their cars. Potentially,you will risk less injury by hit-ting the deer.• If you see one deer, it is likelythere are more close by.• If the deer stays on the road,stop on the shoulder, put onyour hazard lights and wait forthe deer to leave the roadway;do not try to go around the deerwhile it is on the road.

“Defensive driving is alwaysimportant, but this time of yearit’s extremely important,” Com-missioner Praeger said. “Doeverything you can to protectyourself and your family while

driving.” Submitted by the Kansas De-

partment of Insurance.

A: We know that resourcesare insufficient at this pointand the under reporting issignificant. The next twoweeks, with increased staff inthe area, should be quitetelling in terms of the amountof under reporting.

Q: Do we really have suffi-cient public health resourcesto investigate contacts ofcases that crop up here (un-derstanding that the one casein Senegal had 76 contacts re-quiring investigation)?

A: As long as the numberof cases are small, probably.Of critical importance iswhether any secondary casesdevelop in the U.S., which is

when someone is exposedhere and gets sick.

Q: Is public health under-funded?

A: Public health is chroni-cally underfunded, and it ispointed out during times ofepidemics and pandemicshow woefully underfunded.

Q: What has The Univer-sity of Kansas Hospital doneto prepare for a possible caseof EVD?

A: The University ofKansas Hospital beganpreparing early on for thepossibility of EVD reachingthe U.S. A group of nursesvolunteered for special train-ing and additional personalprotective equipment (PPE)was purchased. The level ofprotection and response atthe hospital is more than re-quired.

You may already knowabout the ongoing need forblood and the importance ofyour donation through theAmerican Red Cross. Wholeblood donations contain redblood cells, platelets, plasmaand white blood cells. Redblood cells are the most fre-quently used blood componentand are needed by almostevery type of patient requiringtransfusion.

If you meet certain criteria,double red cell donation allowsyou to safely donate two unitsof red cells during one appoint-ment as an automated dona-tion process. This process iscalled Alyx Component Collec-tion System. This processtakes a little longer to donate,but American Red Cross will beable to harvest twice as muchred blood cells than the normalprocess.How does Alyx work? Alyxuses a type of technology calledapheresis (pronounced “a-fur-e-siss”). Rather than collectingthe blood directly into a bloodbag, the donor’s blood firstflows into the Alyx machine,which separates the blood’scomponents. Red blood cellsare collected in a blood bag,and the remaining componentsare returned to the donor. Thedonor also receives a smallamount of sterile saline fluid to

make up for the blood volumeloss. The donation takes abouttwice as long as a whole blooddonation (about 20-25 min-utes). Why should I donate on Alyxinstead of giving wholeblood?Double your impact: One Alyxdonation collects twice asmany red cells.More blood: Provides more ofthe most critically neededblood types required for pa-tients.Reduce reminder calls: Alyxdonors can donate every fourmonths.Double the credit: An Alyx do-nation counts as two creditsfor “Go for the Gold”.Feel better: Alyx uses asmaller needle, and fluid is re-placed back into the body, re-ducing the chance of notfeeling well after donating.Why are red blood cells soimportant? More than 14 mil-lion pints of red blood cells aretransfused annually in theUnited States. Patients whoneed red blood cells includetrauma patients, people under-going surgery, cancer patients,and those with anemia (includ-ing sickle-cell anemia).

American Red Cross will bein Hugoton again at SaintHelen Catholic Church in Jan-uary of 2015.

Eric Morgan donates blood October 7 while the blood mobile isin Hugoton. The staff is using the Alyx Component CollectionSystem on him which collects double the red blood cells than thenormal process. After using this process, Eric will have to waitfour months before he is eligible to donate again.

Coach Nick Rodriguez rests while donating blood at the Amer-ican Red Cross Tuesday, October 7 at the Stevens County Fair-grounds.

Senator Jerry Moran recentlyexpressed concern to the ObamaAdministration that federal reg-ulations for health care facilitiesdo not adequately consider theirimpact on rural communities. Abipartisan group of 33 other sen-ators joined Senator Moran inthis letter to Centers forMedicare and Medicaid Services(CMS) Director Marilyn Taven-ner.

In the letter, senators pressedCMS for details about how theagency is incorporating ruralhealth care experts in the regu-latory rule-making process. Not-ing federal health regulationsfrequently do not adequately re-

flect the reality of health deliveryin rural areas, the senatorscalled on CMS to explain itsprocess for accounting for therural impact of such regulationsas well as its engagement withrural health stakeholders duringrulemaking.

“We remain concerned thesepolicy decisions do not reflect thereality of providing care in ruralcommunities, and we requestadditional details on these con-sultation efforts in advance of fu-ture rulemaking,” the letterreads. “The proportion of elderlyrural Americans continues togrow, and even small policychanges or incremental payment

adjustments have a significantimpact on access to care in ruralareas. Medicare beneficiariesshould be able to obtain carewithin their own communitieswhen possible, and we are com-mitted to ensuring federal poli-cies recognize and incorporatethe unique challenges ruralproviders face.”

The Hugoton Eagle’s var-sity football team traveled toSouthwestern Heights lastFriday night, where theystampeded over the Mus-tangs with a 33-9 victory.This win is wind beneath theEagles’ wings after coming offof a four-game losing streak,bringing them to a record of2-4.

The game was a bettermatchup than the final scoremight indicate. Both offen-sives moved the ball for morethan 300 yards, and bothsuffered offensive drawbacks,the Eagles in the form ofpenalties and the Mustangswith turnovers. The Eagleswere called for a total of 12penalties throughout thegame for a loss of over 100yards. The Mustangs were

unable to capitalize on this asthey fumbled the ball backover to the Eagles a total offour times, and also threwfour interceptions.

Ulises Armendariz gave anincredible performance forthe night on both sides of theball. Offensively, Armendarizcarried the ball seven timesfor 93 yards and two touch-downs. Defensively, hecaught three interceptionsand had seven tackles, plusfive other assisted tackles.

This week, the Eagles willcompete on their home turfagainst Pratt. There are threegames left in the regular sea-son, the next two being athome, and the final regularseason game will be at Hol-comb Halloween night.

Eagle middle school crosscountry runners gave an im-pressive performance at theMariah Hills Golf Course forthe Dodge City InvitationalOctober 7. Two competitorsbrought home medals despiterunning on a course that wasdescribed by Coach BobbiFerguson as being “…themost difficult that these ath-letes have run so far.” Sev-enth grader Toby McClurefinished with a fourth placemedal, and eighth graderKara Rodriguez with aneighth place medal.

A “Kix Award” was given tothree athletes following themeet: Kara Rodriguez, BryanGonzalez, and Jenna Martin.This honor is bestowed uponthe athletes who go “aboveand beyond” during practiceand meets, and also display a

positive team attitude at alltimes.

Ferguson went on to saythat she was, “…very im-pressed with how the kidshandled running the hills [ofMariah Hills Golf Course inDodge City].” She is opti-mistic moving forward andbelieves all the runners willbe achieving personal besttimes during the last week ofthe season.

The seventh graders whoparticipated in the one milerun were: Faith Degollado,with a time of 7:07, Stacy Ro-driguez with a time of 7:18,Jenna Martin with a time of7:39, Madison Holt with atime of 7:40, Gabriela Lopezwith a time of 7:52, andVanessa Fedelin with a timeof 8:40.

LET’S TALK ABOUTMEDICARE

October is “Talk About Pre-scriptions Month” and marksthe beginning of this year’sMedicare open enrollment pe-riod. It’s the perfect time to talkabout Medicare prescriptionsand the Extra Help availablefrom Social Security. Newly eli-gible Medicare beneficiaries andcurrent beneficiaries who areconsidering changes to theirMedicare Part D (prescriptiondrug coverage) plan, should actnow. The Medicare open enroll-ment period runs from October15 to December 7. The Medicare Part D pre-scription drug plan is availableto all Medicare beneficiaries tohelp with the costs of medica-tions. Joining a Medicare pre-scription drug plan isvoluntary, and participants payan additional monthly pre-mium for the prescription drugcoverage. While all Medicare benefici-aries can participate in theMedicare Part D prescriptiondrug plan, some people withlimited income and resourcesmay be eligible for Extra Help topay for monthly premiums, an-nual deductibles, and prescrip-tion co-payments. The ExtraHelp is estimated to be worthabout $4,000 per year. ManyMedicare beneficiaries qualifyfor these big savings and don’teven know it. To figure out whether youare eligible for the Extra Help,Social Security needs to knowyour income and the value ofany savings, investments, andreal estate (other than the homeyou live in). To qualify, you

must be receiving Medicare andhave:• Income limited to $17,235for an individual or $23,265 fora married couple living to-gether. Even if your annual in-come is higher, you still may beable to get some help withmonthly premiums, annual de-ductibles, and prescription co-payments. Some exampleswhere your income may behigher include if you or yourspouse: - Support other family mem-bers who live with you; - Have earnings from work;or - Live in Alaska or Hawaii;and• Resources limited to$13,440 for an individual or$26,860 for a married coupleliving together. Resources in-clude such things as bank ac-counts, stocks, and bonds. Wedo not count your house or caras resources. You can complete an easy-to-use online application or getmore information by visitingwww.socialsecurity.gov/medicare. To apply for the ExtraHelp by phone or have an ap-plication mailed to you, call So-cial Security at1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) and ask for the Ap-plication for Extra Help withMedicare Prescription Drug PlanCosts (SSA-1020). And if you would like moreinformation about the MedicarePart D Prescription Drug Pro-gram, visit www.medicare.govor call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227; TTY 1-877-486-2048). While we’re on the subject of

This Medicare open enroll-ment season, while you searchfor the Medicare prescriptiondrug plan that best meets yourneeds—see if you qualify for theExtra Help through Social Se-curity. That’s a winning pre-scription worth talking about.

SOCIAL SECURITY NEWSBy Rich Fowler, Social Security Operations Supervisor in Dodge City, KS

Dear Kansans,Nearly a year ago, in recogni-

tion of the critical importancewater serves in our state, Gover-nor Sam Brownback challengedthe Kansas Water Office andKansas Department of Agricul-ture to develop a 50 year visionfor our water supply. His mes-sage was clear we needed to getout across the state and listen tostakeholders, and we did justthat. We have visited with morethan 12,000 Kansans, attendedmore than 250 meetings andnow are preparing to release theKansas Water Vision at the Gov-ernor’s Water Conference earlynext month.

As we prepare for the confer-ence, the focus is now on the de-velopment of the second draft ofThe Vision for the Future ofWater in Kansas. It is importantfor Kansans to be updated onthe process and to have an op-portunity for feedback. The feed-back we’ve received on thePreliminary Discussion Draft re-lease in July has been phenom-enal. As a result of the inputwe’ve received, we are planning anumber of revisions. A previewof some of those changes in-cludes:

•In the Preliminary Discus-sion Draft, examples of statewideand regional goals were includedas means of generating discus-sion. Did they ever! As mostknow, our water resources arediverse across the state and thegoals we strive to meet must bediverse as well, and applicable to

the water resource conditions ofthe area. As a result, we will beincluding a goal setting processin the second draft to replace theexisting examples. We will enlistthe help of the Kansas Water Au-thority in developing regionalwater resources goals, workingin concert with stakeholders.The Vision and Mission will re-main statewide in nature, butthe goals will be regional.

•While some aspects of theKansas Water Appropriation Actmay be considered for changethrough the normal legislativeand regulatory processes, theevaluation of the pros and consof priority under the KansasWater Appropriation Act will beeliminated. We’ve heard frommany stakeholders regardingthis strategy who are very con-cerned with the potential impli-cations of modifying thefundamental premise of the Act.We feel that any change in theAct as it pertains to the “first intime, first in right” provisionswill achieve little and divert at-tention away from the dozens ofstrategies in the Draft that arewidely supported by Kansans.

•We understand you can’tdiscuss water quantity withoutrecognizing the importance ofwater quality. One example ofwhere quantity and quality over-lap is in our watersheds. Theadoption of watershed best man-agement practices continues toreceive overwhelming support asthe most cost effective means ofpreventing sediment from enter-ing our reservoirs. The secondDraft will encourage the imple-mentation of more projectsaimed at reducing nutrients andsediments from entering our tar-

geted water courses and reser-voirs.

•The priority in the secondDraft will remain on voluntary,locally driven and market-basedsolutions. We continue to hearand recognize that locally devel-oped plans have the highest op-portunity for long-term success.The state should provide thenecessary tools and support toallow greater flexibility for themanagement of water resourcesat the local level. The VisionTeam also continues to hear alocal desire to conserve and ex-tend the life of their aquifer. Locallandowners and water rightholders have the right and re-sponsibility to determine theirdestiny with respect to long-termwater use while balancing con-servation and economic growth.

Your input on the next Draftis critical and the deadline of Oc-tober 15 is fast approaching. Ifyou have not registered for theGovernor’s Water Conference,there’s still time. The conferencewill be November 12-13 at theHilton Garden Inn in Manhat-tan. Please register by going tothe Kansas Water Office websiteat www.kwo.org.

We truly appreciate the effortand commitment by thoseKansans who have participatedin the Kansas Water Visionprocess. We look forward to con-tinued discussions as we finalizethe next Draft and ultimately allwork together to implement theVision.

Sincerely,Tracy Streeter,

Director, Kansas Water OfficeJackie McClaskey,

In response to requestsfrom industry, as well as toprovide modern, efficientservice, the Kansas Depart-ment of Agriculture (KDA)has modified the documenta-tion requirements for produc-ers and agribusinessesgoverned by the Kansas Pesticide Law.

“We have heard from in-dustry and responded to theirrequest. This is a commonsense change that will allowagribusinesses and thosewho apply pesticides to pro-vide an electronic version ofdocumentation, rather thanbe required to submit papercopies,” Secretary of Agricul-ture Jackie McClaskey said.“We understand the chal-lenges of doing business andwant to make sure ourKansas companies can oper-ate as efficiently as possible.That includes making sureour agency is as responsiveand flexible as possible.”

The new policy will allowpaper, electronic or a combi-nation of documentationforms to meet the require-ments as set forth in KansasPesticide Law.

Oh, the Places You’ll Go:Justin’s Journey

Russell Child DevelopmentCenter’s Tiny-K Early Interven-tion Program (RCDC) served480 children and their familiesin 2013. Over 35 years ago aSouthwest Kansas family be-came testament to RCDC andwhat we continue to do for ourfamilies today. We are sharingtheir story as they look to thebright future that lies ahead fortheir son. This is a story ofJustin Daniel Johnson whosecourage and fight through allhis physical trials has inspireda whole family and continues tothis day.

“We are the proud parents ofa special child, born in 1979 inUlysses with Spina Bifida. Hedid not have use of his lowerlegs and was hydrocephalic.After his spinal closure and ashunt was installed we thenwere able to bring him homeafter three months in the hos-pital. He needed to have ther-apy physically as well aseducationally.

“The therapists from RCDCprovided therapy for severalyears prior to kindergarten.During this time we observedthe changes in our son thatformed the basis of his successin school. When we would takeJustin to the mylo clinic in Wi-chita, they were amazed withthe progress he was makingeven though he’d had numer-

ous shunt revisions. We weretold that the therapists atRCDC were doing a great job.When Justin entered school hewas assessed as having no in-tellectual impairments, onlyphysical.

“My wife was constantly withJustin following the therapeuticinstructions the therapists atRCDC gave her. In 1987 wemoved to McPherson whereJustin thrived in the educa-tional system. The schoolstated that if Justin had nothad the quality of therapy pro-vided by Russell Child Develop-ment Center, he would not havebeen where he was when theyassessed him.

“In 1988 Justin made med-ical history. He was progressingabove average intellectuallywhen he started developing vi-sion problems. We took him toan eye specialist who immedi-ately sent us to Wesley he un-derwent surgery to remove asection of the tube for his shuntso it would work properly again.However, since the ventricles inhis brain had expanded down-ward onto the optic nerves, ir-reparable damage to the opticnerves caused him to lose hissight. His Neurologist wrote anarticle about this surgery whichwas published in the New Eng-land Journal of Medicine. Thisarticle saved another boy’s sightin 1998. When told about theother boy, Justin stated heknew now the reason why hehad been born.

“According to teachersthroughout Justin’s education,if Justin had not had early in-tervention prior to Kinder-garten, he would not have beenas successful in his education.Justin graduated from GCCC

with honors in 2005 and wecould not have been moreproud.”

- By Michael and Susan Johnson of Garden City.

Average retail gasolineprices in Kansas have fallen6.6 cents per gallon in thepast week, averaging $3.02per gallon Sunday, accordingto GasBuddy's daily survey of1,329 gas outlets in Kansas.This compares with the na-tional average that has fallen6.0 cents per gallon in thelast week to $3.21 per gallon,according to gasoline priceWeb site GasBuddy.com.

Including the change ingas prices in Kansas duringthe past week, prices Sundaywere 19.7 cents per gallonlower than the same day oneyear ago and are 23.4 centsper gallon lower than amonth ago. The national av-erage has decreased 18.0

cents per gallon during thelast month and stands 12.8cents per gallon lower thanthis day one year ago.

"What an impressive weekit has been for watching thedecline in gasoline pricesacross the country," saidGasBuddy.com analystPatrick DeHaan. "I don'tthink I've seen such big dropsin retail prices collectivelysince the recession of 2009.Last week, every single statesaw its average gas price de-cline. The smallest decline instate averages in the lower 48states was a five-cent declinein West Virginia. You know...its been a pretty good weekwhen you can say the small-est average state decline was

a nickel in a week. Mean-while, the largest drop was inMinnesota's average, whichsaw a 16-cent decline. Per-haps most incredibly, thenumber of stations in theU.S. selling under $3 per gal-lon amounted to almost 25%of all stations [Sunday]. LastMonday, that number wasjust 6.6 percent. That meanscurrently 30,000 gas stationsin the U.S. are charging lessthan $3 per gallon. And per-haps the best news for mo-torists is that we have moredecreases coming - somestates could see their lowestprices since late 2010 overthe next month," DeHaannoted.

By Becky Sohm, Fifth GradeTeacher, Rolla Elementary

October 8, Rolla’s fifth-gradeclass wrapped up their scienceunit on ecosystems with a fieldtrip to learn more about our veryown grassland ecosystem. Stu-dents attended the annualOWLS (Outdoor Wildlife Learn-ing Site) event at Middle Springin the Cimarron National Grass-lands. The event is a cooperativeeffort by the U.S. Forest Service,the National Resources Conser-vation Service, the Kansas De-partment of Wildlife and Parks,the Morton County Museum,and the Morton and StevensCounty Extension Offices.

Students rotated to five dif-ferent stations during the morn-ing. At the Fire Ecology station,U.S. Forest Service staff dis-cussed the role of fire in main-taining the grasslands, as wellas how to prevent unintendedfires. At the Soil station, hostedby the NRCS, students got to ex-perience life underground bywalking through the Soil TunnelTrailer. Students learned aboutthe importance of our soil for thehealth of our crops and ourwater supply.

Staff of the Kansas Depart-ment of Wildlife and Parkshosted the Reptiles and Am-phibians station, which was areal hit with the students. Thepresenter had brought different(live!) reptiles and amphibians of

the grasslands to discuss withstudents. The ornate box turtle,barred tiger salamander, andhorny toad were just a few of theanimals students could see andtouch. Their only disappoint-ment was that the representa-tive hadn’t brought any snakes!

Another popular station wasthe Santa Fe Trail station, whichwas hosted by the MortonCounty Museum staff and vol-unteers. Folks dressed as NativeAmericans and travelers alongthe Santa Fe Trail told of their

experiences along the trail andshowed items they might haveused or traded for. Students re-ceived a model fort to put to-gether and a bag containing asnack of food like what wouldhave been eaten along the trail:jerky, dried fruit, and hardtack.

The final station, Skin,Skulls, and Tracks, was a veryhands-on discussion of grass-land mammals led by staff of theKansas Department of Wildlifeand Parks. Students were ableto compare the skulls of different

mammals and learn about theireating habits by the type of teeththey have. Other animal adapta-tions, like camouflage, were eas-ily seen as student exploreddifferent animal pelts.

The event ended with a picniclunch of grilled hot dogs pro-vided by the Morton CountyMuseum. Mrs. Sohm would liketo thank all the agency staff andvolunteers who worked so hardto host a memorable educationevent for the area fifth-gradestudents.

The Rolla Junior HighCheer Squad has been busythis year. They began the yearby selling products to raisemoney to offset the cost of

shoes and other necessities.They also served at the alumnibanquet this summer. In Au-gust, they attended a cheercamp in Dodge City alongsidethe high school cheerleaders.

Mrs. Kaylee Norton hasbeen keeping them busy with

practices and then they alsocheer for the football team.This year’s squad includeseighth graders, Magaly Cortez,Brooke Hinds, Kaberlin Hull,Cacee Milburn, and seventhgraders, Abby Easterwood andAlexandra Hart.
