Got to credit former New York Times and Vanity Fair reporter, HOWARD BLUM, for uncovering this vital story. He wraps it in a creative narrative that says sweeping historical movie.

Whether they like it or not, it’s time to move on. More than 30 years ago, Don Gerace (pronounced Jer-race) founded a scientific research institute on San Salvador Island in the Bahamas. It was there he met his wife, Kathy, who found her way to the island as a teacher.

Westar has about 1,000 substations scattered across its territory to convert high-voltage electricity to a form consumable in homes and businesses. Westar civil engineer Cindy Risch said the company took complaints of unusual sounds and stray voltage seriously, because both could be indicators of impending equipment failure. She said the load pushed through the substation had grown each year since 2005 but not substantially. Hypothetically, Risch said, a grid of copper wire buried beneath the substation to provide protection to workers inside the perimeter might be leaking voltage. The Evans home is 10 feet from the substation’s chain-link fence. Bill Hines, Westar’s operations director in Wichita, said considerable manpower was devoted to examining safety claims made by people residing around the Emporia substation, but nothing out of the ordinary was found. “We did a lot of investigation and thus far have not found anything,” Hines said.
