Should Kansas amend its constitution to allow abortions to be illegal?

Two Kansas professors have been invited to a meeting in Salina later this month to discuss all sides of the proposed constitutional amendment on abortion. Kansans will vote on the amendment in the Aug. 2 special election.&nbsp;

The discussion is scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday in the K-State Salina College Center conference room, 2310 Centennial Road. Refreshments will be served at the program, which is open to the public at no charge.

The event is co-sponsored by the Kansas Women Attorneys Association and the Salina League of Women Voters.&nbsp;

Constitutional law professor Jeff Jackson of Washburn University and Patrick Miller,&nbsp;associate professor of political science at the University of Kansas, have been asked to give a balanced view of what the proposed amendment says and what it means.

Salina League of Women Voters President Lori Trow said it is important that all registered Kansas voters understand that they can vote on this measure on the Aug. 2 primary ballot, regardless of their party affiliation. Whatever their political leanings, voters need to understand what they’re voting on, she said.

Trow said the program will be available on Zoom for those who can’t be there in person. Find the meeting link on the Salina League website calendar at&nbsp;<a href="http://www.lwvsalina.org/events/" target="_blank">www.lwvsalina.org/events/</a>.

Professors to discuss proposed constitutional amendment

A relative of mine recently mentioned she had two life insurance policies. Is it okay for a person to have more than one life insurance policy? If so, why would someone do that?

There aren’t any rules against having more than one life insurance policy. The only real problem is it might complicate your life a little in terms of having multiple premium withdrawals, checks or possibly additional policy fees to worry about every month. It’s cheaper just to have just one policy, generally speaking, but regardless of whether you have one or more, I always recommend having 10 to 12 times your annual income wrapped up in a good, level term life&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ramseysolutions.com/insurance/coverage-checkup/7e812192-293a-4344-8ead-d31ae62abbbd/extended-basic-info" target="_blank">insurance</a>&nbsp;policy.

Different people have different personal and business financial situations, so there could be many reasons to have more than one life insurance policy. I have lots of insurance connected to our estate plan, our business and different kinds of things. Most life insurance companies will only write so much in coverage for one person, so when this has been the case, I just went to another carrier for additional coverage.

Also, some people buy more than one life insurance policy just to feel secure from a provider standpoint. If one insurance company goes out of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ramseysolutions.com/career-advice/interview-guide" target="_blank">business</a>, they’ll still have another policy—or more—in place. That’s not usually a big problem, though, since the majority of insurance companies have insurance to back them up with the state, or are very financially stable.

DAVE SAYS: You can have more than one

Today is Friday, April 22, the 112th day of 2022. There are 253 days left in the year.

On April 22, 2000, in a dramatic pre-dawn raid, armed immigration agents seized Elian Gonzalez, the Cuban boy at the center of a custody dispute, from his relatives' home in Miami; Elian was reunited with his father at Andrews Air Force Base near Washington.

In 1889, the Oklahoma Land Rush began at noon as thousands of homesteaders staked claims.

In 1915, the first full-scale use of deadly chemicals in warfare took place as German forces unleashed chlorine gas against Allied troops at the start of the Second Battle of Ypres in Belgium during World War I; thousands of soldiers are believed to have died.

In 1937, thousands of college students in New York City staged a "peace strike" opposing American entry into another possible world conflict.

In 1944, during World War II, U.S. forces began invading Japanese-held New Guinea with amphibious landings at Hollandia and Aitape.

In 1954, the publicly televised sessions of the Senate Army-McCarthy hearings began.

In 1970, millions of Americans concerned about the environment observed the first "Earth Day."

In 1993, the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum was dedicated in Washington, D.C., to honor victims of Nazi extermination.

In 1994, Richard M. Nixon, the 37th president of the United States, died at a New York hospital four days after suffering a stroke; he was 81.

In 2004, Army Ranger Pat Tillman, who'd traded in a multi-million-dollar NFL contract to serve in Afghanistan, was killed by friendly fire; he was 27.

In 2005, Zacarias Moussaoui pleaded guilty in a federal courtroom outside Washington, D.C., to conspiring with the Sept. 11 hijackers to kill Americans. (Moussaoui is serving a life prison sentence.)

In 2010, the Deepwater Horizon oil platform, operated by BP, sank into the Gulf of Mexico two days after a massive explosion that killed 11 workers.

In 2016, leaders from 175 countries signed the Paris Agreement on climate change at the United Nations as the landmark deal took a key step toward entering into force years ahead of schedule.

Ten years ago: The U.S. and Afghanistan reached a deal on a strategic partnership agreement ensuring that Americans would provide military and financial support to the Afghan people for at least a decade beyond 2014, the deadline for most foreign forces to withdraw.

Five years ago: From the Washington Monument to Germany's Brandenburg Gate and even to Greenland, scientists, students and research advocates rallied on Earth Day, conveying a global message about scientific freedom without political interference. Erin Moran, the former child star who played Joanie Cunningham in the sitcoms "Happy Days" and "Joanie Loves Chachi," died in New Salisbury, Indiana; she was 56.

One year ago: In an announcement tied to a U.S.-hosted virtual summit of 40 world leaders on climate change, President Joe Biden committed the U.S. cut its fossil fuel emissions by as much as 52% by 2030; some developed U.S. allies also made specific pledges to reduce damaging fossil fuel pollution. The Supreme Court, in a 6-3 ruling, made it easier to sentence minors convicted of murder to life in prison without the possibility of parole. A judge in New York sentenced a Bangladeshi immigrant to life in prison for an attempted suicide bombing attack in a subway station beneath Times Square in 2017; the attack largely failed when the bomb barely exploded.

Today's Birthdays: Actor Jack Nicholson is 85. Singer Mel Carter is 83. Author Janet Evanovich is 79. Country singer Cleve Francis is 77. Movie director John Waters is 76. Singer Peter Frampton is 72. Rock singer-musician Paul Carrack (Mike and the Mechanics; Squeeze) is 71. Actor Joseph Bottoms is 68. Actor Ryan Stiles is 63. Baseball manager Terry Francona is 63.

A new type of Dollar General is coming to the location of the former Save A Lot store on E. Iron Avenue.

The Dollar General Corporation announced Thursday that it plans to relocate its downtown Salina store from 140 S. Santa Fe Avenue to 511 E. Iron Avenue by early summer. The new location will be a DG Market, the first of its kind in Kansas, and will offer fresh meats and produce, as well as home décor and an expanded party preparation selection, in addition to the regular brands and products Dollar General is know to carry. 

“We are excited to expand our offerings to Salina residents through our upcoming relocation, which includes the first DG Market in the Sunflower state,” said Matthew Simonsen, Dollar General’s senior vice president of real estate and store development.  “At Dollar General, we are committed to serving our customers with a pleasant shopping experience and strive to be a good corporate citizen. Bringing the DG Market format to Salina aims to serve the community with affordable access to household essentials and healthier foods through a convenient location. Together with our developer partner Blue Beacon, we look forward to expanding our offerings in Saline County, and provide the community with closer access to fresh and healthier foods and a convenient location to purchase the items they want and need at everyday low prices. We hope our customers will enjoy the new store.”

The DG Market's produce section will include "the top 20 items typically sold in traditional grocery stores and covers approximately 80 percent of produce categories most grocery stores carry. It will include fresh fruits and vegetables including, tomatoes, onions, apples, strawberries, potatoes, sweet potatoes, lemons, limes, salad mixes, and more," Dollar General Corporation noted in a news release.

"The store will also continue to offer frozen and refrigerated food offerings in addition to the same categories, brands, and products that customers trust Dollar General to carry," the company noted.

The new DG Market store also will bring with it a commitment to the community. 

"The Salina store provides the opportunity for schools, nonprofit organizations, and libraries within a 15-mile radius of the store to apply for Dollar General Literacy Foundation grants," Dollar General Corporation explained. "Since its inception in 1993, the Dollar General Literacy Foundation has awarded more than $203 million in grants to nonprofit organizations, helping more than 14.8 million individuals take their first steps toward literacy or continued education."

City of Salina seeks volunteers for boards, committees

ALLIANCE, Neb. - A Salina, Kan., man charged in the motor vehicle death of an Alliance woman has waived his right to a preliminary hearing and has been bound over to District Court for trial.

Ryan McElroy, 36, appeared in Box Butte County Court Thursday morning with his legal counsel, Stacy Bach of Scottsbluff. Bach is serving as court appointed counsel as McElroy cannot afford to hire an attorney.

Judge Paul Wess set McElroy’s District Court appearance for April 27 at 1:30 p.m. At that time, McElroy will enter his plea and a future court date will be set.

McElroy is charged with felony counts of manslaughter and motor vehicle homicide as well as misdemeanor counts of third offense DUI and willful reckless driving. McElroy’s vehicle was allegedly traveling in the wrong lane when he collided head on with 22-year-old Blythe Boness of Alliance.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Boness, a 2019 graduate of Alliance High Schools, was pronounced dead at the scene.&nbsp; The collision occurred a few miles east of Alliance on Highway Two on April 10.

McElroy remains housed in the Box Butte County Jail on ten percent of a $100,000 bond.

Now that the case has entered District Court, prosecution will be handled by the Nebraska Attorney General’s Office.

Today is Thursday, April 21, the 111th day of 2022. There are 254 days left in the year.

On April 21, 1975, with Communist forces closing in, South Vietnamese President Nguyen Van Thieu resigned after nearly 10 years in office and fled the country.

In 1649, the Maryland Toleration Act, providing for freedom of worship for all Christians, was passed by the Maryland assembly.

In 1836, an army of Texans led by Sam Houston defeated the Mexicans at San Jacinto, assuring Texas independence.

In 1910, author Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known as Mark Twain, died in Redding, Connecticut, at age 74.

In 1926, Britain's Queen Elizabeth II was born in Mayfair, London; she was the first child of The Duke and Duchess of York, who later became King George VI and the Queen Mother.

In 1930, fire broke out inside the overcrowded Ohio Penitentiary in Columbus, killing 332 inmates.

In 1976, clinical trials of the swine flu vaccine began in Washington, D.C.

In 1980, Rosie Ruiz was the first woman to cross the finish line at the Boston Marathon; however, she was later exposed as a fraud. (Canadian Jacqueline Gareau was named the actual winner of the women's race.)

In 1998, astronomers announced in Washington that they had discovered possible signs of a new family of planets orbiting a star 220 light-years away, the clearest evidence to date of worlds forming beyond our solar system.

In 2015, an Egyptian criminal court sentenced ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi to 20 years in prison over the killing of protesters in 2012. (Morsi collapsed and died during trial on espionage charges in June 2019.)

In 2016, Prince, one of the most inventive and influential musicians of modern times, was found dead at his home in suburban Minneapolis; he was 57.

In 2018, Barbara Bush was remembered as the "first lady of the Greatest Generation" during a funeral in Houston attended by four former U.S. presidents and hundreds of others. Actor Verne Troyer, best known for his role as "Mini-Me" in the "Austin Powers" movies, died in Los Angeles at the age of 49; a coroner later ruled that the death was suicide by alcohol intoxication.

In 2020, researchers reported that a malaria drug that had been widely touted by President Donald Trump for treating the coronavirus showed no benefit in large study of its use in U.S. veterans hospitals.

Ten years ago: Charles W. "Chuck" Colson, 80, described as the "evil genius" of the Nixon administration who served seven months in prison for a Watergate-related conviction, then spent the next 35 years ministering to prison inmates, died in northern Virginia. Phil Humber threw the first perfect game in the majors in almost two years, leading the Chicago White Sox to a 4-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners.

Five years ago: A San Francisco power outage blamed on the massive failure of a circuit breaker that sparked a fire at a power substation stranded people in elevators and left tens of thousands in the dark.
