Noteworthy

• The Kansas Highway Patrol now says a three-vehicle wreck Tuesday afternoon on I-35 in northeast Johnson County began when a driver fell asleep at the wheel. A Dodge Avenger went off the highway near Shawnee Mission Parkway, striking a car that was legally parked on the shoulder as a man was trying to change its tire. The Avenger then skidded into a third vehicle. Nobody was seriously injured. [WIBW]
• A judge in Shawnee County, Kansas, has ordered a Leawood man who performed illegal autopsies to pay back more than $250,000 to past clients. Shawn Parcells has also been permanently banned from doing business in Kansas under terms of a new civil judgement, according to an announcement this week from the state attorney general’s office.

• Bishop Miege High School in Roeland Park could be one of the schools impacted by new rules the Kansas State High School Activities Association is considering that would reclassify parochial schools in athletic classes with bigger schools. The new standards would be based, in part, on the number of state championships a school has won over a given time to determine if they should move up in class. [Fox 4]
