“That” Liberal Band has been keeping quite busy lately, and their results at a pair of recent competitions has shown off their hard work.

'That' Liberal Band traveled to Kansas State University in Manhattan Saturday, Oct. 12, where they took part in an hour-long clinic with K-State staff and marching band section leaders. The band performed that evening and ultimately ended up coming home with a 1 'Superior' rating. Then, Oct. 22, the band competed at the WAC Marching Festival in Dodge City and again ended up bringing home a 1 'Superior' rating, which director Andrew Johnson said he could not be happier about.

There was a time when the mortality rate for breast cancer, or any cancer for that matter, made the disease seem like a death sentence.

As the years have progressed, though, so too have technology, education and treatment for breast cancer, and with that in mind, between 1989 and 2022, mortality rates have dropped 44 percent, nearly in half.

Kelly Denton, director of the Diagnostic Imaging department at Liberal’s Southwest Medical Center, said in the early days of breast cancer treatment in the late 1980s and early 1990s, screenings were done mostly through the use of film.
