Nursing home will reopen with new owner
By TODD NELSON
Staff Reporter
A Lawrence nursing home that closed last April will reopen under different management in about two months, a spokesman for the company said.
The 100-bed home could open within 60 days, she said, depending on when renovation is completed. The building used to be Autumn Manor, 1800 W 27 St.
Becky Branan, spokesman for Regency Health Care Centers Inc. in Atlanta, said the nursing home would employ more than 75 persons.
KANSS DEPARTMENT of Health and Environment officials revoked Autumn Manor's license in April after the department insisted it has been closed since then.
Linda Coker, the daughter of former
owner Harold Chapman, tried to reopen the home, but the Department of Health and Environment rejected her application.
Coker appealed the decision to district court. The court dismissed the suit when the Department of Health and Environment allowed the new owners to apply for a license without first getting a certificate of need, a document showing a demand exists for more nursing homes in the area.
The company will begin hiring staff, including nurses, sides and mainte-
Regency has not hired an administrator for the home, Branan said, saying he was considering a move.
Branan said that Regency had planned extensive renovation of the home before reopening it. The renovation cost $3 million, including furnishing rooms. Workers might
redecorate the lobby also, she said.
HEALTH FUTURES Investment Corp., an Atlanta firm, bought the home. Branan said. It will be called the Regency Health Care Center.
Both Health Futures Investment Corp. and the management firm are owned by Farrell Jones, she said. Jones also owns nursing homes in Georgia, Missouri, North Carolina and Tennessee.
Regency also manages seven nursing homes in Kansas. Two are in Yates Center. The others are in Florence, Ohio. Olathe and Halstead, Brannan said.
The company began acquiring homes in Kansas because they were available and because the state has a need for nursing homes, Branan said.
Regency has established a regional management office in Topeka, she said.

Burlington man is extortion suspect
"Zaval is an electrical support engineer at Wolf Creek, as a contract employee, since March of 1981." Koerper said. "He has discussed the charges and we are reviewing the charges in relation with his work responsibilities."
Lyle Koerper, a spokesman for Kansas Gas and Electric Co. of Wichita, said Francis J. Zaval, 61, has worked for KG&E at the $2.67 billion nuclear power plant at Burlington for almost two years.

WICHTTA — A Burlington man accused of extortion in connection with a Washington state nuclear power plant works for one of three utilities building the Wolf Creek nuclear plant, a spokesman said yesterday.
Zaval and two other men were indicted Wednesday by a federal grand jury in Spokane, Wash., on one count of extortion; one count of conspiracy to conceal the counts of conspiracy to conceal income from the Internal Revenue Service.
Contacted at his Burlington home,
Zaval refused to comment on the indictment or answer questions about his behavior.
"I haven't seen the indictment and, on the advice of an attorney, I have been told not to make any comment," he said.
Named in the induction with Zaval were Charles E. Varnell, 42, of Ocean Shores, Wash., and Louis B. Stokpus, 43, a member of the Florida Bar Association now living in the African nation of Somalia.
Varnell and Zaval were electrical contracting executives at the Wash-
Bill on language of Open Records Act passes
By United Press International
TOPEKA — With one lawmaker calling it one of the most regrettable steps in his years in the Legislature, the Senate yesterday approved a bill correcting language in the state's new Open Records Act.
In a final vote of 35-5, the upper chamber sent the bill to Gov John Cohn. The bill was approved.
A day earlier, the body narrowly defeated an amendment by Sen. Jan Meyers, R-Overland Park, that would have removed the corrective language. The amendment would pave the way for commercial school districts in the Division of Motor Vehicles.
The new Open Records Act was passed by the 1983 Legislature, but a clerical error made before Carlin signed the bill required the 1984 Legislature to pass another bill correcting the mistake.
Meyers said that an attorney general's opinion last September stated that the division must make its records available to anyone who wanted to copy
them. She said that by striking the corrective language, the Legislature would tightly restrict the sale of public vehicles in the Division of Major Vehicles.
