Safe Kids Kansas presented their annual awards in a ceremony Tuesday at the Kansas National Education Association in Topeka. The prestigious Dr. Dennis Cooley Award of Excellence, named in honor of pediatrician Dr. Dennis Cooley of Topeka, was presented to Jan Stegelman of Topeka.

Stegelman served as the State Coordinator of Safe Kids Kansas from the program’s inception in 1991 until her retirement in June 2009. In 1991, Stegelman, then a new employee with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, was charged with developing a state injury prevention program. Later that year, an agreement was signed with the National Safe Kids Campaign and a steering committee was formed in Kansas to form a Safe Kids Coalition. Under her leadership, Safe Kids Kansas expanded to include additional member organizations and local coalitions. Safe Kids Kansas also became a 501c(3) in 2003.

“We take this opportunity to recognize Jan Stegelman for her outstanding leadership in child safety and for her exceptional contributions in the field of childhood injury prevention in Kansas,” said Cherie Sage, State Director for Safe Kids Kansas.

Safe Kids Kansas also honored one local coalition, three individuals and two coalition member organizations.

“These organizations and individuals have made significant contributions to the mission of Safe Kids Kansas, which is preventing accidental injury – the leading killer of our children in Kansas,” said Sage.

Additional award recipients include:

The Local Coalition of the Year award for 2009 was presented to Safe Kids Geary County for their success in tackling the unique complexities of their ever changing community.

Safe Kids Geary County works vigorously to prevent accidental injury of children in the county making it worthy of coalition of the year. The lead agency for Safe Kids Geary County is the Geary County Health Department.

Service Recognition Awards were presented to three individuals who have worked determinedly to provide injury prevention education to families in Kansas – Sgt. Timothy McCool, Dean Tucker and Emma Kruger. Serving as Public Resource Officer for Kansas Highway Patrol, Sgt. Timothy McCool is a passionate advocate for safety initiatives across the state. He is an active child passenger safety technician instructor and has presented innumerous injury prevention messages at schools and community events. Dean Tucker, former coordinator of Safe Kids Osage County, worked tirelessly to teach parents how to properly restrain their children in child safety seats and provide children with education on the safest way to wear their seat belts. As a volunteer for Safe Kids Douglas County, Emma Kruger has strived to increase injury prevention efforts in her community through one on one education, presentations, grant writing, serving on committees, and representing Safe Kids Douglas County at local events.

The Outstanding Partnership for Child Safety Award was presented to Huggable Images, Shawnee Mission, for the company’s continued support of childhood injury prevention through advocacy and business acumen. Huggable Images has traveled the country, giving presentations and exhibiting at conferences and providing a unique product that greatly enhances the ability to educate parents and other caregivers.

For many the first sighting of the majestic Angkor temples was through the Lara Croft:  Tomb Raider movie with Angelina Jolie. Who could forget the sight of the giant trees with massive root structures engulfing the roofs and walls of the Ta Phrom temple?

The Ta Phrom temple is but one temple in the Angkor Park, with the most well known and photographed being Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom. The Angkor temple complex is a World Heritage site noted not only for its architecture but its massive carved reliefs which are works of art in their own right.

Angkor Wat is situated in the North Western area of Cambodia in Siem Reap City.  The easiest and quickest route there is by air landing at the Siem Reap International Airport.  The airport which is Cambodia’s second largest is located 7 kilometres from the city centre.

The Siem Reap International Airport is serviced by over twenty different airlines.  Some of these airlines include Air Asia, Asiana Air, Singapore Airlines, Jetstar Asia Airlines, Korean Air, Malaysia Airlines, Royal Khmer Airlines, Vietnam Airlines, Lao Aviation, Siem Reap Airways, Silk air, Dragon Air, Bangkok Air (Asia’s Best Regional Airline 2008), Angkor Airways and China Yunnan Airlines. 

The above-mentioned airlines, many of which are international carriers offer incoming and outgoing flights to a number of South East Asian cities.  These cities include Bangkok, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh, Vientiane, Taipei, Incheon and Canton.  A bonus for travellers is that they may get an aerial glimpse of Angkor Wat on their flights into or out of the Airport.

Besides direct flights travellers can be redirected from Cambodia’s Capital City Airport, The Phnom Penh International Airport. This is a short forty five minute flight from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap. In comparison the bus trip over the sealed highway or the boat trip up the Tonie Sap Lake would take five to six hours.

For the more adventurous, there is an overland route from Bangkok, Thailand via the border at Poi Pet. Travellers face a nine to ten hour bus trip to their Angkor destination albeit at a far cheaper price. Once in Siem Reap the treasures of the Angkor temples await them.

Question: What is a good area to live in the LA area?

My husband could possibly be transferred there soon for his job to the Chatsworth area. He has been there a few times, I have not. We have 2 kids, 7 & 11 and we are currently living in a very suburban area – Mission, KS – not far from Overland Park, KS, one of the top places to raise a family. Of course we are looking for low crime, excellent schools, not the most expensive housing, not too far from the beach or site seeing and a good family neighborhood – somewhat similar to what we have here in Kansas. Is is possible?
Wouldn’t have to be close to the beach necessarily, We’ve never been, so Malibu is probably where we would go for a beach day. Mostly interested in GOOD schools, neighborhoods. We might be rentin a town house for the contract period, not buying….

Answer: I live in Montrose CA. It is a very quaint little town at the base of the Angeles Crest Mountains. It is an hour from the beach and an hour from snow skiing. Great schools, great family location. You can totally walk around at night and everything is fine...everyone knows each other. We like to refer to it as Mayberry. Tree and street lamp lined street. Parades, farmers markets, craft fairs and lots to do ! About a 20 minute commute to Chatsworth...check it out. Its known as "the best little secret in L.A." Can't say enough about how adorable it is here.
