Turning Faces Toward the Sun 75¢ COLBY Friday December 26, 2014 Volume 125, Number 201 Serving Thomas County since 1888 8 pages FFREEREE PPRESSRESS Turning faces toward the sun Solar panels have been planted in neat rows in the solar “garden” (above) north of Colby along Veterans Memorial Drive. Construction workers (right) carried solar panels into place over the weekend to complete the assembly step on the Community Solar Array. The panels waited (below) to be attached to their holders, another step closer to completing the array, for which ground was first broken at the end of August. At that time, the array was expected to be connected to the power grid in early December, though it is still project- ed for completion this month.

Minority Leader Marci Francisco House Asst. Minority Leader Tom Burroughs Kansas Senate Kansas House of Representatives We write to express our concerns regarding Kansas House Bill 2338, signed into law by Governor Brownback on April 17, 2014 and in effect since July 1, 2014. We believe the new legislation, which strips Kansas’s Supreme Court of the power over local court budgets and the selection of local chief judges, threatens to impinge upon the Kansas Supreme Court’s constitutional authority to administer a unified court system and thus endangers the proper balance between the legislative and judicial branches under the separation-of-powers doctrine. 1. The Supreme Court’s Constitutional Authority to Administer a Unified Court System As amended in 1972, Article III, Section 1 of the Kansas Constitution vests the judicial power of the state in “one supreme court, district courts, and such other courts as are provided by law.” To administer that unified system, Article III, Section 1 also grants the Supreme Court “general administrative authority over all courts in this state.” As the Kansas Supreme Court stated in State v. Mitchell: “It is apparent from the unambiguous words of the constitution that the judicial power of Kansas is vested exclusively in the unified court system.”1 It was not always so.

  • Meet a Real Hero from Rescued to Rescuer
    ADOPT VOLUNTEER FOSTER DONATE Jackson County Supporting the programs of the Jackson County Animal Shelter SPRING 2019 Meet a real hero From rescued to rescuer Every dog and cat that comes through the Shelter and finds a loving home is a joy for us. It’s what drives our volunteers to show up seven days a week. On occasion, an incredible story illustrates just how special these animals are, and just how much they can change when given love and training. Blake has such a story to tell. In October 2016, Blake, a 2-year-old, handsome Chocolate Lab was picked up as a stray in Central Point by Jackson County Animal Services. He had no collar, no microchip and no one came to claim him. Two weeks after his arrival, Search Dog Foundation (SDF) Canine Recruiter, Kirsten Fulk, visited the shelter, seeking high-energy dogs to evaluate for the SDF. Rescuing dogs and training them for careers in search and rescue is the foundation’s mission. Dogs recruited from across the country are trained to become the nation’s first responders to disasters across the nation. Kirsten quickly spotted Blake, and took him to the SDF training center in Santa Paula, California to be evalu- ated for entry into their program. He was accepted! In April 2018, after 17 months of care and training, Blake was paired with firefighter and paramedic, Mike Brice, of the San Diego Fire-Rescue/California Task Force 8.

With this information, these key players can understand the real gaps and inefficiencies in the market and answer the Workforce Investment & Opportunity Act’s (WIOA) call to align their programs to meet employer demand. But there’s also an opportunity to challenge demand as well. In many cases, the strategies employers use to hire workers are inefficient and even self-defeating. Workforce agencies and educators can leverage this more specific awareness of demand to flag opportunities to make the job market work better for employers and workers alike. 2:00 p.m. ITC - Who We Are, What We Do, and the Skills We Need Now and in the Future Kevin Burke, Vice President of Human Resources and Chief Human Resources Officer, ITC Holdings, Inc., will discuss how ITC fits into the electricity transmission grid, how the transmission business works, the importance of veteran placement services in their control room, and the skills and education required in the energy field now and in the future.
