April 26 “Goodnight-The Health Benefits of a Good Night’s Sleep and How a Sleep Study Can Help You” Presented by Tate Moore and Mitchell Defiesta, RPSGT

Learn about the importance of good sleep to one’s overall health. Did you know there are 80 recognized sleep disorders? Are you one of the 70 million Americans who suffers from one of them? Do you snore? Do you sleep next to someone who does? Maybe you have difficulty sleeping? We will learn about the most common ones, learning about what signs and symptoms to look for. We will be walked through a sleep study and what to expect during your study. Come receive tips on things you can do to get a better night’s sleep!

Medical studies regularly show the risks that undiagnosed and untreated sleeping disorders have on a patient’s overall health. There are well known comorbidities such as Diabetes, COPD, Hypertension, Depression, and Chronic Pain that present opportunities to screen patients for sleep disorders such as Obstructive Sleep Apnea. With the growing problem of obesity in America, Obstructive Sleep Apnea is one of the fastest growing medical problems among the general public. Many people feel that as they get older, being constantly tired is just part of life. They don’t realize that spending just one night with PM Sleep Lab can be the first step in providing them with a lifetime of better sleep.

PM Sleep lab has been serving the Midwest for the past 11 years with locations in Kansas, Missouri, Colorado and Texas. The closest locations to Tabor College are Newton, Salina and Great Bend. Their goal is to make the patient feel as if they are staying in a very nice hotel room, rather than in a state-of-the-art medical facility. PM Sleep Lab facilities are accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Health Care, use registered polysomnographists, and will care for your patients with the same TLC as they would their own family.

Brent Barkman has spent a lifetime in the beekeeping and honey packaging industries. He is the owner of Artesian Honey Producers, Inc an Artesian, South Dakota based beekeeping operation producing premium honey and providing pollination services for crops dependent on bees to produce high yields.

Barkman is a majority owner of Barkman Honey LLC based in Hillsboro, KS one of the largest packagers of honey in the USA. Barkman Honey packages honey primarily for retail consumers’ consumption and for food service end users.

February 22“Marion and Harvey Counties’ TRUE CRIME Cases” Presented by: David Yoder, Harvey County Attorney

Harvey County Attorney, David Yoder will take us on a journey through the minds of some of Marion and Harvey counties’ high-profile criminals. He will share about prosecuting some of the most interesting cases he has handled in the last 16 years. We will exam the many complexities that are to be found in the motive for crimes. Was the victim targeted or doomed by chance? Was it planned or a sudden undertaking? Was the method crude and stupid or was it clever and sophisticated? Were the suspects many or was it someone acting alone? Were the clues subtle or obvious? Did the investigation require science or logic? Did the detectives rely on intuition or insight, acute powers of observation or just hard work? Was the perpetrator the usual, obvious suspect, or was it the person no one would ever suspect?

David serves as the Harvey County Attorney, an elected position he has held since 2002. Prior to that time he was in private practice with the law firm of Ice, Turner and Baer, and served as Harvey County’s first Court Trustee, a position he held for nearly 12 years.
