The Who
Baba O’Riley

Salina Police spoke to the media today concerning the death of an infant girl on Tuesday.

Lt. Sean Morton says the infant was under the age of one and had significant health issues. The child was taken to Salina Regional Health Center Monday before being transferred to Wesley Medical Center in Wichita.

Doctors called Wichita police after X-rays showed the baby had 13 broken bones in various stages of healing.

An autopsy is to be performed in Wichita. Morton says results to determine cause of death may take some time before being released.

Morton said the investigation is in the very early stages. Information on what part of town the infant lived was not released.

Stay tuned to Eagle radio and Hays Post for more information as it becomes available

Congressman Tim Huelskamp reported poll results today from his monthly telephone town he recently conducted in the Big First district. During these live town hall events, Congressman Huelskamp asks the listeners to participate in poll questions. Below are unscientific results from the February 26, 2013 poll questions asked during the telephone town hall.

Similar to results in early 2012, nearly four out of five constituents approved of Tim Huelskamp’s work in Congress. Last week’s poll also found that 63% of constituents supported keeping the sequester cuts and only 37% disagreed. And, 95% of respondents said they preferred a government with lower taxes and fewer government programs than one with higher taxes and more government programs.

Congressman Huelskamp released this statement about the telephone town hall poll results:

“These strong approval ratings indicate that Kansans strongly support my efforts in Congress,”said Congressman Tim Huelskamp.  “They don’t trust Washington insiders and bureaucrats to solve things, and they want a smaller, more efficient federal government. They know—and I stand with them—that the future of our nation lies with the creativity and resourcefulness of the American people, not the government.” 

“I am thrilled to have the opportunity to talk directly to constituents of the Big First during these telephone town halls. I was sent to Washington to serve their interests and my voting card belongs to them.”

Some good news from the Kansas Department of Health today. They reported on their Twitter feed this afternoon, ” #Flu activity has decreased significantly during the past 4 wks. KS rate of flu-like illness is below 3% for the first time since Dec 2012.”

At HaysMed, flu restrictions are still being enforced. According to the hospital web site, “Visitors who have symptoms of Influenza (fever, body aches, headache, severe weakness, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose) or are 12 years of age or younger are asked not to visit at this time.  Due to a significant rise of Influenza A and B nationally we are taking these precautions in order to limit the spread of the flu.  Thank you for your cooperation.”
