  • Kansas Legislators Message of Support and “Call to Action”
    Kansas Legislators Message of Support and “Call to Action” We come together united as state legislators, republicans and democrats, state senators, and state representatives with this important message. We have reached a tipping point in the battle with COVID-19. If widespread community transmission continues to increase, our hospitals will be unable to meet the health care needs of Kansans across the state. We need people to change their behaviors and act fast to curb the spread because our status quo is not working and the implications are dire. This is not a COVID-19 crisis. This is a health care crisis. This holiday season, the greatest kindness you can give to your loved ones is doing your part to preserve their health. Wear your mask; wash your hands; stay home as much as possible; and keep your distance. Lives depend on it. As we enter the winter months, cases continue to rise and without action, this will continue. It is critical we reignite a sense of duty and ownership to do all we can to slow the spread of this virus to protect the health and safety of individuals and their loved ones. While we cannot change the hearts and minds of everyone, we each can take personal responsibility to make changes that will ultimately be lifesaving. We are united in our message: • While the news about vaccines gives us all hope, we must take steps NOW to bend the curve, curtail widespread community transmission and ultimately decrease hospitalizations so that care is available for all • We support the efforts across our region and Kansas to take additional steps to practice the pillars of infection prevention.

  • 48 Kansas History “You Have to Like PEOPLE”
    Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains 30 (Spring 2008): 48–67 48 Kansas History “you have TO LIKE PEOPLE” A Conversation with Former Governor William H. Avery edited by Bob Beatty William Henry Avery, born on a farm near Wakefield, Kansas, on August 11, 1911, served as the state’s thirty- seventh chief executive, from January 11, 1965, to January 9, 1967. Although his gubernatorial service was short, Avery’s outgoing personality and ability to win elections made him a central figure in Kansas Republican Party politics throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Avery first ran for the Kansas House of Representatives in 1950, but his political career really began years earlier when he was a leader of local opposition to the U.S. Corps of Engineers’s damming of the Republican River in their attempt to stop the disastrous flooding that had plagued eastern Kansas for years. Avery’s stake in the opposition was personal—the proposed dam would destroy the farmhouse his father, Herman W. Avery, built and in which he had grown up. He was never able to halt construction of the dam, but his fervent efforts not only led to his election to two terms in the state legislature (1951–1955), but also propelled him into the U.S. Congress, where he served from 1955 until 1965. Unable to stop the Tuttle Creek Dam and Milford Reservoir and finally frustrated with being a Republican in the Democratic-dominated U.S. House of Representatives of the early 1960s, Avery gave up his seat to come back to Kansas and run for governor in 1964.
