Almighty Godthank You for this day –

Ash Wednesday and the beginning ofa period of repentance, fasting,

reflection and ultimately celebration.Be with our leaders today as they continue to discussand decide on several different resolutions or bills.As they work together in a spirit of bipartisanship,

enable each one to differentiate strength from power;growth from greed;

leadership from dominance;and real greatness from the trappings of grandeur.

Continue to give them wisdom and clarity.In Christ’s Name I pray, Amen.

INTRODUCTION OF GUESTS

There being no objection, the following remarks of Rep. Concannon are spread upon the Journal:

Today I want to introduce you to a medical miracle. This is Chad Lorenz, along with his wife Laura and daughter, Autumn. Chad was born with a congenital heart defect, bicuspid aortic stenosis, which was diagnosed when he was in junior high. He was cleared to participate in cross country in high school at which time he fell in love with running. After high school, college, getting married, a baby, and several moves, he started competitive running, biking, and adventure races. His heart checked out regularly in Dept. of Transportation physicals required for his job. That all changed in the summer of 2015 when his heart valve declined. He was referred to a cardiologist who was astonished to learn the speed and distance Chad was running. After evaluation

FEBRUARY 26, 2020 2147

at KU Hospital, at the age of 33, he underwent open heart surgery to replace his aortic valve with a mechanical valve, along with correcting an aortic aneurysm.

Chad recovered from surgery and started running again. He was monitored closely by his local physician and his cardiologist, and he was doing phenomenally. That all changed on March 5, 2017, as he was out for his normal morning long run, he suddenly collapsed into the ditch. A passing car, witnessing the collapse, stopped to find him unresponsive – without a heartbeat and he wasn’t breathing. They started CPR and when the ambulance arrived it took 3 shocks to restart his heart. He was taken to the local hospital and then a life-flight to KU Hospital. He had suffered a widow-maker heart attack and full on cardiac arrest. Following a stent procedure he began the tough work of recovery. Six days later, Chad and his family were on the way back home.

A few weeks later, Chad and his family got to meet the complete strangers who happened to be driving by and became a major part of Chad’s story. They are like family today.

To everyone’s amazement, Chad started running again during his cardiac rehab. A little over a year later he competed in the 2018 Sunflower State Games where he competed in the 800m and 1500m, winning 1st in both for his age group. A short time later he was named the Sunflower State Games Athlete of the Year. He was later honored by the national organization as the National Congress of State Games Adult Male Athlete of the Year. Chad continues to run today, competing in various events throughout the state, along with coaching his daughter and other youth in track and field.

This shortened version of Chad’s life story is an inspiration to us all. Please join me in congratulating Chad, Laura and Autumn for winning at life. We wish you much happiness with your beautiful beating heart.

Rep. Concannon presented her guests with a framed House certificate in recognition of their accomplishments.

EXPLANATION OF VOTE

MR. SPEAKER: I vote NO on HB 2487. I do not agree with changing Emotional Disturbance to Emotional Disability. Both of these words imply a permanent disability. I know this is not true. These students can improve through therapy, behavior modification and maturity. I think this should be changed to Emotional Challenged which implies a future for the student. In addition, this will have a financial impact with every paper form and software program in Kansas Special Education and Mental Health having to be changed. – BILL RHILEY

EXPLANATIONS OF VOTE

MR. SPEAKER: I vote No on Sub HB 2506. I appreciate all the hard work that went into this bill. I could support this bill if it just improved procedures and made the current law more effective for military service members and their spouses. However, it also implements the agenda of a group that is ideologically opposed to occupational licensure and was voted out by a packed committee, so I cannot. – “BOOG” HIGHBERGER

MR. SPEAKER: I vote “No” on Sub HB 2506. We all agree family members of our armed forces should be permitted to practice their professions in Kansas without delay. To that end, we passed legislation providing for expedited licensing of military dependents. Proponents of this bill believe the law is not being followed. If so, the answer is not another law, but enforcement of the existing law. Waving careful investigation of the qualifications of other professionals claiming an intention to move to Kansas endangers the public health and welfare. I therefore vote no on Sub HB 2506 – JOHN CARMICHAEL
