KOMA
Board chair Shirley Brown-VanArsdale asked Mark Ferguson, college counsel, to communicate the findings and results of an inquiry and investigation as to whether the college violated the Kansas Open Meetings Act during an executive session of the board meeting on Feb. 19. Ferguson reviewed statements made in the media, notes made when investigating the matter, the minutes of the meeting, relevant statutes, and interpretation of KOMA both by the Kansas courts and the office of the attorney general. He also spoke with the Kansas attorney generals office and an assistant district attorney in Johnson County. After a complete review of the facts and circumstances surrounding the allegations, he is of the opinion that no violations of KOMA occurred at the February meeting and that the board fully complied with the Kansas Open Meetings Act and with its own board policies related to conducting an executive session.

This University of Washington program profiles an innovative surgical technique for maintaining the speech and language skills of a brain tumor patient. The program introduces viewers to Deborah Kelley, a remarkable patient who bravely allows a camera to follow her for several weeks, from her initial consultation at the UW Medical Center’s Neurosurgery clinic and then into surgery. Deborah undergoes an awake surgery, which allows the neurosurgeon to pinpoint the exact location of her brain tumor, a technique called functional brain mapping. Kelley’s case received an in-depth review by the University of Washington Medical Center’s Neuro-Oncology Tumor Board, a multi-disciplinary group of neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists, neuropathologists, brain tumor researchers and social workers. The Neuro-Oncology Tumor Board has created a passionate and comprehensive approach to patient care centering on the role of the medical team, who guide the patient, and their family, from pre-operative tests to post operative diagnosis and treatment.

(Ursula Rucker)

Muffled sound of fist on flesh
Blows to chest
No breath
Air gasps
You ain’t nothing but white trash, bitch!
With each hit, each kick, each…broken rib
Crack, Crack!
Bones are crying
Mommy’s crying and bleeding
And pleading
And then…
Daddy wants to fuck
Dick hard, swelled with power rush
And as if all that wasn’t enough
Mommy’s seven months heavy with birth
As…Daddy grunts and cursed drunk nothings in her bloodied ear

(singing softly)
First…lullaby
First…Son…will…ever…hear
And never forget

Mommy almost bled to death when she have him…finally
She’d already lost…three
Uterus-bruised, shredded, and weak
From being daily beat
And Friday nights were the worse and…
Daddy never came with flowers
Instead he spent hours at some corner spot
With some bar pop named Cookie
Putting his thing down
Soiling Mommy’s sheets with…
Sweet…talk shit,
Cookie’s cheap lipstick,
Hair grease, sperm, and jezebel juice

To with the good news that…
He was a father for the first time
His thirst for wine and women
Clouded his vision…
No warm welcome for mother and son
Just…
The rank smell of ass-crack, funk, and cum
But Mommy’s prayerful strength-her best defense
She…burned the dirty linens
Made a fresh bed
Laid sleeping First Son down
And never made a sound
As she purged her scourge
With birth-blood and quiet tears
Watching as her fears and love and sacrifice
Lie there in his soft skin and new life
Breathing, dreaming, fresh from God’s eye
Mommy’s little survivor
Like…her

Mommy called crazy and scorned
‘Cuz she two more born
One boy soon after
The girl much later and…
Although they were both sung the same lullabies of hate
Her…First Son, the first one
Whose…womb-world was profaned
Came of age playing street games
With Stewie, Rezzie, and Little Brother
‘Till his heart start to wither
In pain and shame
Blamed Mom for the wrong she let Daddy do to her
And him…
Let…sins of the Father cause his Innocence to wander
Found honor amongst thieves
Chose to squander his dreams
Stopped believing in himself
Become prodigal with his life
Make impossible xxxx right with…
Gang-ties, crime, lies
Erase wise, woeful words of Mother
Replaced them with absurdities of others
Who had also lost their way

Played a different kind of street game now
First Son plunged deep
Speak street-family vows
Espouse no causes but his own
See, he couldn’t protect Mommy’s neck from Daddy’s grasp
Or…protect Mommy’s xxx from Daddy’s wrath
Couldn’t shield her ears from…
Daddy’s foul-mouthed, liquor-breath jeers
His only defense-served be confidence
Brown bottles housed his swift descent
Phones called cops on block frequent for his shenanigans
Now…Daddy and him twins in addiction
Driven to false-hearted heavens and friends
By liquefied demons
Had become what he despised from Conception ’til End
Destined for a demise
Survived nine lives of staying high
Conning, jewelry-pawning, arrests, theft
Womanizing…only for money, never for sex
Bullet in chest, baseball bat to the head
Left for dead
So, eyes wide and glassy
Speech…slowed and slurred
Lips twitched with caked-up codeine candy
And mouth corners one December 24th
Mr. Hide and False Friend
Took final ride to suburban supplier
Shots were fired by the gray man
With shaky hand
But not shaky enough to miss…
Hit…Lost Boy in back
So-called Friend runs for door
Leaves First Son blood-born
Lying alone in blood on cold floor

Death was the cause of…
Returning to Innocence Lost…

Baby ‘Sis awake for dawn on Christmas morn
To Mommy’s sobs and shakes
Daddy’s silhouettes of regret
All past, omitted, and absolved by lost
As they clung to each other
Knowing…

MARRY IN HASTE; REPENT IN LEISURE by Dr. Harold Sala
For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh. Genesis 2:24

The oldest church in Amsterdam, De Oude Kerk, which in Dutch means, The Old Church dates back to the early sixteenth century. Over one of the doors where the commissars of marriage of the city assembled, there is an inscription which reads, Marry in haste; repent in leisure. Perhaps the saying written in Dutch is reflective of the conservative natures of these wise old men, but I think instead it reflected the wisdom of Solomon. If he never said it, he well could have because Solomon married more than a few women out of political convenience, a practice which he lived to regret.

Marry in haste; repent in leisure! — good advice for any generation. No other relationship so involves the totality of our lives as does marriage. If more people took more time before they came to the altar, a great many would never take the trip.

Those who marry in haste are usually guilty of flawed thinking. Like what? Consider the following illusions they are guilty of believing.

Illusion #1: Things will be better after we are married. To the contrary, personality traits usually tend to amplify no matter which direction the pendulum swings. A man who is kind and considerate becomes more so when you have taken time for a relationship to develop. An individual who is inconsiderate and rude doesnt change into a gentleman or a lady after marriage.

Illusion #2: Thinking, It doesnt really matter! Nothing could be more self-deceptive. Are both of you Christians? I sometimes ask couples who want to marry. They look at each other and say, Weve never talked about religion! Or when there are major social or cultural differences and those issues have never been addressed, you may have plenty of time to repent in leisure.

When a couple marries, they bring to the altar a large sack or baggage containing elements of heredity, habits, culture, idiosyncrasies of temperament and attitudes such as Momma did it this way. Better know whats in the baggage your mate brings to the altar, and that takes time.

Illusion #3: What you dont know, shouldnt bother you. Wrong. The better you know each other, and the more able you are to communicate your emotions and feelings, the greater chance of happiness you have. Its a fact: there is a definite correlation between your happiness in marriage and your ability to communicate at a deep and intimate level. What you dont know about that other person should bother you a great deal. What you find out–too late to do anything about it–may give you a great deal to regret later on.

Illusion #4: If I dont get him or her now, I may never have another chance to marry. Wrong again. The fact is that not marrying that particular person may be Gods greatest gift to you, sparing you from a great deal of heartache and pain later on.

Illusion #5: Those who marry in haste usually think that love is enough! We love each other, I hear people say. Thinking of love as a warm emotion which gets the adrenaline flowing, they have never learned that love is a decision, a commitment to care regardless of the temperature of the heart. Real love only grows when the fading beauty writes creases in the forehead and turns the hair gray.

Marry in haste; repent in leisure–a lot of people do just that. Taking time to work through relationships, making sure that a couple bring to a marriage the ingredients that complement each other and build for the future can well prevent your repenting in leisure—which these days causes many to divorce in haste.

Take time. It may be the most importance advice you will ever get.

Resource reading: Genesis 2:15-25.
