For Immediate Release January 4, 2007 Nicole Corcoran, Press Secretary 785.368.8500 Governor Requests Presidential Disaster Decl Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius - Press Release For Immediate Release Nicole Corcoran, Press Secretary January 4, 2007 785.368.8500 Governor requests Presidential Disaster Declaration for 44 Kansas counties affected by winter storms; Agriculture Declaration also requested Upon surveying storm damage in the affected areas of the state and meeting with local emergency management officials, Governor Kathleen Sebelius signed a letter to the White House late yesterday, requesting federal assistance to help Kansans recover from the effects of the winter storms that hit the state Dec. 28 through Dec. 31, 2006. The impacted area includes 44 counties. Sebelius was joined by Congressman Jerry Moran, Adjutant General Tod Bunting, Agriculture Secretary Adrian Polansky and Regional FEMA Director Dick Hainje during her visits to Colby, Ulysses and Satanta. “The impact of this storm has been tremendous and it is critical we receive federal support to help our state recover from the significant financial losses left behind.” said Sebelius. “We will be assessing the damages and financial impact the storm has taken once the critical needs have been addressed.” Governor Sebelius has also requested U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Mike Johanns to declare the same counties agricultural disaster areas to help minimize economic losses livestock producers affected by the storm. Sebelius is seeking the declaration in an effort to make livestock producers eligible for financial assistance, should it be made available by USDA. “There are 3.7 million head of cattle worth an estimated $3.4 billion in the 44 counties hardest hit by this winter storm,” Sebelius said. “Averting and recovering from widespread livestock casualties is important to our state’s economic stability and the well-being of our livestock producers.” The storm has made it temporarily impossible for some livestock owners to get feed to their cattle. It also disrupted power, which is needed to pump water for livestock. “We are using every available resource to address human needs, and we are asking the USDA to find a way to help us address this critical issue.” Sebelius said. Estimates indicate these storms left approximately 69,000 residents and businesses without power for more than 48 hours. It is estimated that it will be another three weeks before all service is able to be reconnected. Portable generators, emergency generators and outside utility crews were dispatched to the affected area for emergency restoration of power. Because of extensive damage to critical infrastructures, such as power lines and poles and extensive debris, the State will request a Federal/State preliminary damage assessment as soon as the roads http://web.archive.org/web/20080720033521/http:...or.ks.gov/news/NewsRelease/2007/nr-07-0104a.htm (1 of 2) [6/20/2011 3:15:01 PM] Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius - Press Release become passable.

These damages include such things as power lines and poles and extensive debris.

At the same time, some potential employees need extra training or help with child care in order to fill these vacancies. To help employers and employees alike, Governor Kathleen Sebelius today announced the On-TRACK Initiative, an effort designed to help Kansas businesses recruit and retain skilled workers. “We’ve got a number of great Kansas businesses looking for skilled workers, and we have a lot of potential employees who either need additional training or a little extra incentive to close the deal,” said Sebelius. “We want to help our businesses recruit and retain the workers who will allow our state to continue the economic success of recent years.” On-TRACK, which stands for Training, Recruitment And Careers in Kansas, will help match businesses with skilled employees, and will help businesses retain those employees for the long-term. While all Kansas employers will benefit from the initiative, Sebelius said several critical industries are being specifically targeted for assistance. Those include aviation & advanced manufacturing, communications, health care, conventional and renewable energy, bioscience, particularly animal health, and the military. Signing bonuses for new employees in these industries will be sponsored by the State of Kansas. Additionally, the shortage of math, science and special education teachers in rural and high-poverty areas will be a focus, as will an increased emphasis on training and certification of workers through the state’s workforce development efforts. “Competitively recruiting workers into these key sectors is vital to the health of our state’s economy” Sebelius said. “These bonuses will help Kansas businesses appeal to a broader spectrum of potential workers and the additional training will help more Kansans receive the skills they need to begin a career in one of these industries.” Sebelius is also calling on Regents institutions to share alumni lists with Kansas companies to provide leads on workers who have an existing relationship with our state. Competitive benefits are critical to recruiting and retaining workers, with child care being one benefit http://web.archive.org/web/20080704191839/http:...or.ks.gov/news/NewsRelease/2007/nr-07-0104b.htm (1 of 2) [6/20/2011 3:14:30 PM] Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius - Press Release sought by many potential employees. On-TRACK will promote employer-based child care as a recruitment and retention tool for Kansas businesses. “Child care is expensive, and for many moms and dads finding quality child care is a real challenge. We want to make it so parents can afford quality care for their children during the hours they’re at work,” said Sebelius. A resource team will be available to assist businesses wishing to establish a child care center for employees, with the team including individuals with experience in early childhood development, child care licensing and child care center operations. Sebelius also said her upcoming budget will fully fund the projected child care assistance case load in the Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services, which assists low-income workers with child care costs. Finally, as part of On-TRACK, the Department of Commerce will collaborate with Kansas businesses to target the state’s brand image campaign to geographic areas and populations that complement businesses’ recruiting strategies. “We’re going to work with businesses to tell the story of what Kansas has to offer potential employees. That’ll help their recruitment efforts and bring new families and new vitality to our state,” said Sebelius. Funding for On-TRACK will be included in Sebelius’ FY 2008 budget, which will be proposed to the Legislature next week. # # # CAPITOL BUILDING, ROOM 212S, TOPEKA, KS 66612-1590 Voice 785-296-3232 Fax 785-296-7973 http://www.governor.ks.gov <!-- FILE ARCHIVED ON 19:18:39 Jul 4, 2008 AND RETRIEVED FROM THE INTERNET ARCHIVE ON 20:14:28 Jun 20, 2011.

Citing recent steep declines in crude oil prices and their dramatic impact on unemployment in Kansas, the delegation noted that "when coupled with the joblessness that has resulted from severally reduced revenues and business activity in agriculture, there are few readily available options fpr workers who have lost their jobs in the oil and gas industry. "Retraining and job search assistance will be essential in conducting a successful program to prevent long term unemployment among these workers. We feel that the circumstances surrounding this dramatic drop in job opportunities typify the kind of problem the dislocated workers program was meant to address," the delegation wrote. The letter went on to say that Kansas has put forth "a reasonable proposal" to offer much needed assistance and if the u.s. Department of Labor approves the request it will be "for the benefit of hundreds of Kansas workers." The letter was written and signed by Senators Bob Dole and 1 Nancy Kassebaum and Representatives Dan Glickman; Jan Meyers; Pat Roberts; Jim Slattery; and Bob Whittaker.

I ask that you enable them as much as possible to be focused on the needs of others and that their self sacrificing spirit may be contagious across this great state of Kansas. So God, I ask that you will give them the strength that they need to do that which you have called them to do. I ask this in the name of your son Jesus, Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Rep.

It is passed along as nothing more than a suggestion for the Kansas Democratic Party. If you are serious about retaining the governor’s office whenC the votes are counted on that cold, November night in 2010, you best twist the arm of the man occupying that chair or forget it. Period. Gov. Mark Parkinson took over the governor’s office when Gov. Kathleen Sebelius jumped ship to become a member of President Obama’s Cabinet. Parkinson was serving as lieutenant governor, joining the Sebelius ticket when she sought and won re-election to a second term. The state’s financial picture was in a mess when the call came from the president to then Gov. Sebelius to become Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary. The offer was the president’s way of thanking her for her early endorsement of his effort. Lt. Gov. Parkinson took the oath elevating him to the state’s top elective position and has won several accolades for his performance. He has said, time and again, that he would not be a candidate for the office. Gov. Parkinson is unique. He was a Republican for many years and changed par- ties when Gov. Sebelius convinced him to become her running mate. Of course this didn’t sit well with the Republican leadership, seeing one of their own walk away in the fashion he did.
