Urine smell, bugs in liquor, old foods & more at Wichita KS restaurants, hotels

Urine odor in a stairwell, bugs in liquor, insects around food equipment, stained and torn bedding, old meat and milk, exposed carpet nails, smoke detectors that didn’t work, expired medication for sale and more are among violations state inspectors discovered during recent food safety and lodging inspections in the Wichita area. Each week, The Eagle adds to its searchable database of failed inspections from Sedgwick County. Seven restaurants, hotels and other businesses were non-compliant with state regulations Oct. 25-31. Inspectors found few or no violations that week at more than 30 other locations deemed compliant with food safety and lodging rules. Kansas Department of Agriculture inspections are meant to protect the public from foodborne illnesses and other health risks. Locations can fail if they have too many problems, certain types of violations or issues that can’t be fixed right away. Violations are common. Most of the time, they’re corrected in front of an inspector. Examples of things that can be addressed immediately include serving food that’s more than a week old, employees mishandling ingredients and dirty kitchens. Issues that may take longer to correct include pest infestations, power outages and plumbing problems. It’s rare, but a business may be temporarily

What would Olive Garvey think if the Riordan Clinic leaves its famous domes?

Not many legacies start with an octogenarian woman who, while sitting under an old-fashioned hair dryer, gets a spark of inspiration that develops into an organization still going strong more than half a century later. That’s what happened with Olive White Garvey and her idea for Wichita’s Center for the Improvement of Human Functioning, which today is known as the Riordan Clinic. Now that the clinic is considering leaving the 92 acres Garvey’s family foundation gave the nonprofit, which is known for its prominent eight geodesic domes and pyramid along K-96, vice president of operations Steve Howard said the late Garvey still is directing the clinic’s future. “It’s important to stay grounded in her vision for the place.” The clinic’s management and board is considering a possible move downtown to not only be part of a growing medical and academic corridor but also to have an updated, more modern facility that more people might associate with medical care. “The Riordan Clinic as a facility has always had trouble communicating what takes place in those domes,” Howard said.
