Flu cases fill hospital

By BOB JOHNSON The Iola Register

An uptick in flu cases, Influenza A and B, and respiratory infections have given Allen County Regional Hospital a more typical start to the new year, CEO Tony Thompson told county commissioners Tuesday.

“We’re full,” Thompson said, in answer to a question about number of patients. January of 2016 was opposite, he added.

Best way to avoid the malady, he said, “is to wash your hands with soap and water. Stay clean,” and get a flu shot each fall.

Thompson said 95 babies were born at ACHS during 2016, 10 more than in 2015.

Thompson said the medical community is trying to recruit an OB/GYN to ensure more expectant mothers receive their care here.

Thompson said Dr. Rebecca Lohman “intends to transition away from deliveries in

Judge: Federal firearms regulations trump Kansas law

By ROXANA HEGEMAN The Associated Press

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A federal judge on Tuesday rejected arguments that a Kansas law can shield from federal prosecution anyone owning firearms made, sold and kept in the state — a ruling that casts doubt on the legality of similar laws passed in nine states across the nation.

The decision handed down by U.S. District Judge J. Thomas Marten allows federal firearms charges against Shane Cox and Humboldt man Jeremy Kettler to stand. The ruling clears the way for their sentencing on Monday.

Jurors in November returned eight guilty verdicts against Cox, the owner of Tough Guys gun store in Chanute, under

U.S. District Judge J. Thomas Marten the National Firearms Act for illegally making and marketing unregistered firearms, including a short-barreled rifle and gun silencers. Kettler was found guilty on one count of possession of an unregistered silencer.

Trump taps Supreme Court nominee

By MICHAEL A. MEMOLI Tribune News Service

WASHINGTON (TNS) — President Donald Trump nominated federal Judge Neil M. Gorsuch on Tuesday to fill the Supreme Court seat of the late Antonin Scalia, choosing a Western appeals court judge seen as the most likely choice from Trump’s shortlist to win Senate confirmation.

Announcing his selection in a prime-time, televised White House ceremony, the new president cast his decision as another campaign promise kept — and perhaps the one with the most far-reaching impact.

Trump praised Gorsuch’s experience on the bench, academic credentials and his track record in securing bipartisan Senate confirmation for lower-court slots.

“The qualifications of Judge Gorsuch are beyond dispute,” Trump said. “I only hope that both Democrats and Republicans can come together for once for the good of the country.”

Because Scalia was a stalwart conservative, Gorsuch is not likely to change the

ABACA PRESS/OLIVIER DOULIERY/TNS balance of the court. But his nomination does set the stage for a bruising partisan fight over a man who could help determine U.S. law on gun rights, immigration, police use of force and transgender rights.

In brief remarks, Gorsuch praised Scalia as a “lion of the law,” and affirmed his commitment to a key conservative viewpoint of a strict interpretation of the Constitution.

“It is for Congress, and not the courts, to write new

laws,” he said.

Gorsuch, a 49-year-old graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School who serves on the Denver-based 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, also honored former Justice Byron White. Gorsuch once clerked for White, a fellow Coloradan, and called him “one of the smartest and most courageous men I’ve ever known.”

manship, on the grand stage of the White House’s East Room before a national audience, creating an aura of mystery — or in the more critical view of some, a reality-show atmosphere — around what is traditionally a staid, sober process. In addition to key Republican lawmakers, the audience included Scalia’s widow, whom Trump acknowledged.

He called his selection process, which began with a list of 21 candidates released during the campaign, the “most transparent” in history, then trumpeted its dramatic conclusion.

“So was that a surprise? Was it?” he asked the audience after inviting Gorsuch and his wife on stage.

A president making such a consequential nomination after only days in office is highly unusual, and the nomination was in part a product of the partisanship that has come to define Washington in recent years. Democrats

remain outraged at the GOP’s refusal to grant a vote or even a hearing to President Barack Obama’s nominee to fill the vacancy, appeals court Judge Merrick Garland.

Coming after more than a week of rapidfire executive actions, the choice offered a measure of reassurance to Republican leaders growing wary of the vocal opposition to Trump. He took office as the least popular newcomer to the Oval Office in history, and already a majority of voters in a Gallup tracking pool disapprove of his job performance.

GOP lawmakers, in particular Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, increasingly advised the president to avoid a move that could provoke Democrats to obstruct Gorsuch’s nomination.

The party is already using multiple delaying tactics to weaken some of Trump’s Cabinet choices.

Barring further

changes to the Senate filibuster rules — which GOP leaders for now seem reluctant to make — Trump needs to sway at least eight Democrats to ensure his nominee is confirmed.

Liberal activists have already begun to take aim at Democrats who voted to advance some of Trump’s Cabinet nominees and are likely to press further to try to block Gorsuch, given the consequential nature of recent Supreme Court decisions in preserving abortion rights, extending marriage rights to same-sex couples and twice upholding the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act. Democratic lawmakers immediately criticized Trump’s choice.

“As a judge, he has twisted himself into a pretzel to make sure the rules favor giant companies over workers and individual Americans,” said Sen. Elizabeth Warren, DMass., a leader in the party’s increasingly powerful progressive wing.

Sen. Patrick J. Leahy,

D-Vt., a former chairman of the Judiciary Committee, pointed not to Gorsuch’s record, but to Trump’s, particularly his temporary bans on travelers from seven predominantly Muslim countries that sowed chaos at U.S. entry points over the weekend and were blocked in narrow instances by a handful of federal judges. Trump fired acting Attorney General Sally Yates after she directed federal prosecutors not to defend the order.

“In light of the unconstitutional actions of our new president in just his first week, the Senate owes the American people a thorough and unsparing examination of this nomination,” Leahy said.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, which will oversee Gorsuch’s confirmation process, expressed concern over two cases in which he voted to deny contraceptive coverage to women. She noted Trump promised

Amendment Protection Act, which passed in 2013, says firearms, accessories and ammunition manufactured and kept within the borders of Kansas are exempt from federal gun control laws. Kansas modeled its law on a Montana law that an appeals court has found to be invalid, according to court filings.

Similar firearm nullification laws have been signed into law in nine states. In addition to Montana and Kansas, other states having them include Alaska, Arizona, Idaho, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah and Wyoming, according to Everytown For Gun Safety, which advocates commonsense gun control laws.

Noting the significant interest the case against Cox and Kettler has generated in Kansas and beyond, Marten wrote in his 13-page decision that he is bound to uphold the U.S. Constitution and laws as interpreted by the U.S. Supreme Court and the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. The judge then proceeded to cite those earlier rulings in rejecting every constitutional argument raised by the defense in the Kansas gun case.

“As a district court judge, I am not empowered to do what I think is most fair — I am bound to follow the law,” Marten wrote.

Defense attorneys argued that the National Firearms Act — a part of the Internal Revenue code enacted

under Congress’ power to levy taxes — is unconstitutional because it amounts to “regulatory punishment” rather than imposition of a valid federal tax. They also contended that the federal law violated the Second Amendment as well as Tenth Amendment state rights protections of the U.S. Constitution.

But Marten was unpersuaded, noting that the nation’s highest court ruled 80 years ago that the National Firearms Act is valid exercise of Congressional taxing power. As such, it supersedes a state law, he said. Marten also rejected the Second Amendment arguments raised.

Kettler’s attorney, Ian

Clark, separately asked the court for leniency at sentencing, calling his client a good man “caught in the crossfire of a political strong arm contest.” The two men, like many other Kansans, were under the mistaken belief that the Kansas Second Amendment Protection Act was valid and protected them from federal prosecution.

“Now that this prosecution has taken place and received fairly wide media attention, any need for deterrence has been satisfied simply by making the community aware that the federal government will prosecute possession of firearm accessories like these regardless of the Kansas law,” Clark said.

GOP leaders were particularly concerned that choosing William H.

Financial

Are you a “do-it-yourselfer”? If you can take care of home repairs, lawn work and other types of maintenance by yourself, you’ll save money and probably gain satisfaction. But you will almost certainly need some help in other areas of your life – one of which may be investing.

In fact, you could benefit from the services of a professional financial advisor at several points in your life: • When you’re starting out in your career – When you land your first “career-type” job, you will have some financial decisions to make: Should I participate in my employer’s 401(k) or other retirement plan? (Hint: Yes!) If so, how much should I contribute? How can I juggle saving for retirement with paying off student loans? These are the types of questions you can answer with the help of a financial advisor.

• When you’re saving for important goals – Whether you’re saving for a down payment on your first home, or for your children’s college education, or for your own comfortable retirement, you’ll face many choices. A financial advisor – someone with experience in helping people work toward these goals – can assist you in making the choices most appropriate for your individual situation.

• When you’re experiencing a personal “milestone” – Like everyone, you’ll go through many major life events. Some will be joyful, such as marriage and the arrival of children, while others may be unpleasant or sad, such as divorce or the death of a loved one. But virtually all these events carry with them some type of financial component – establishing new investment accounts, purchasing sufficient insurance, naming and changing of beneficiaries, and so on. A financial advisor who truly understands you and your needs can help you make appropriate moves for all your milestones.

• When you’re close to retirement – As you near retirement, you’ll have several issues to consider: About how much income will you need each year?

When should you start taking Social Security? How much can you afford to withdraw annually from your IRA and 401(k)? A financial advisor has the tools, training and experience to explore alternatives and suggest suitable moves for you.

• When you’re retired – Even after you retire, you’ve got plenty to think about, in terms of financial moves. For one thing, you need to ensure that your investment portfolio provides you with both sufficient income for your desired lifestyle and adequate growth potential to help you stay ahead of inflation. What’s the correct balance of investments for your needs? Are there investments that can provide you with rising income without exposing you to undue risk? Once you’re retired, you just won’t get a lot of “do-overs,” so getting the right help is important.

If you’re a do-it-yourselfer, you may not get it right each and every time. But you won’t pay much of a price (except, perhaps in embarrassment) if that chair you built collapses under a stack of newspapers.

However, you also know when it’s time to call in a professional – and that’s whom you need when it comes to building your financial future. So, get the assistance you need, when you need it, from a financial advisor. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

For 2016: Nevada casinos on a roll LAS VEGAS (AP) — Casinos in Nevada won $11.3 billion from gamblers in 2016, marking a second consecutive year of gambling revenue gains but still missing the pre-recession record set in 2007, state officials said Tuesday.

The statewide amount that casinos took in was up 1.3 percent compared with 2015, according to data released by the Nevada Gaming Control Board.

The gains — almost 64 percent of which came from slot machines — were recorded at casinos across the state and not driven exclusively by Las Vegas Strip casinos.

“This is what we want to see,” said Mike Lawton, senior analyst with the control board. “It’s growing again, and it’s widespread.”

Revenue from casinos on the Las Vegas Strip, Nevada’s gambling mecca, totaled about $6.3 billion in 2016, an increase of less than 1 percent compared

with 2015. The revenue of downtown Las Vegas casinos was up 4.2 percent to $565 million, while Reno casinos recorded wins of $596 million, a 4.5 percent increase over the previous year.

The only region to post a gambling revenue decrease in the state last year was western Nevada’s Carson Valley area with a loss of less

than 1 percent.

Gambling wins for Nevada’s casinos have increased in six of the last seven years but they are below $12.8 billion record reached in 2007.

However, Lawton said, the overall increases have come despite gamblers spending less money over the last three years on baccarat, a high-stakes game favored by high-rollers

from Asia.

Nevada casinos won $1.2 billion from baccarat in 2016, down 5.3 percent from 2015.

Lawton said the board anticipates that factors including higher wages, increased employment and more Nevada visitors will lead to continued revenue gains in 2017.

“We are pretty optimistic,” he said.

tipping, and choosing to attend William and Mary College because of a former boyfriend.

Despite the break-up, Koestner remained excited, eager to see what lie ahead.

She remembered vividly a dorm party organized by one of her fellow dorm-mates — she lived in an allfemale residence hall — and seeing “him,” a sculpted young adonis with perfect teeth and designer clothes.

“He had this awesome hair, great jawline, cool shoes and buttons on his shirt,” she joked. “I had not seen buttons on a shirt in a while. I thought, wow, that is commitment to wardrobe right there.”

KOESTNER was smitten.

She intentionally stationed herself so their paths would cross.

Eventually, they did, and the pair hit it off.

They discovered they were in the same chemistry class and agreed to study together.

“We so diligently studied the atoms and molecules — for three minutes,” she said.

Instead, their conversation wandered to other topics. Mainly life in general.

We were seeing each other every day.

We weren’t dating, we weren’t hooking up, we weren’t hanging out, exactly, or shagging, chucking…” she said, rattling off a list of ways to describe having sex.

Eventually, he asked Koestner out on a date.

To a restaurant. With cloth napkins.

“Wow, cloth napkins,” she remembered.

“That was a big deal.”

He arrived wearing a three-piece, Italian, hand-stitched, pinstripe suit — GQ personified. Koestner wore her 10th grade homecoming dress.

“It was adorable,” she recalled.

They went to a French restaurant, where her date spoke the native language fluently.

The subsequent dinner, and conversation, however, began to raise warning flags.

For one thing, he ordered champagne. She was 18.

“But it’s not every night I order champagne,” he told Koestner, in an effort to get her to drink.

She had two sips. He had two glasses.

“Were we drunk?” she asked. “The answer is no.”

He invited Koestner to spend the summer with him at his family’s island home off the coast of Greece.

In order to go, however, “there were some things you need to know,” he told Koestner.

First, women had specific clothing attire they needed to wear at the beach, and when they went to dinner.

Secondly, there were times when women stayed home while the men went out.

Thirdly, women were expected to drink alcohol.

And finally — and here’s where a knot developed in the pit of her stomach — the women were expected to have sex at the man’s whims.

The discussion reminded Koestner of a

If you stand for what you believe in, eventually, you won’t be standing alone.

— Katie Koestner, advocate for victims of sexual assault

Katie Koestner conversation the two had a few days earlier, when she blurted out, randomly, that she was a virgin, preferring to wait until she was married.

He was comfortable with it then, even telling Koestner she reminded him of his first girlfriend.

“He agreed to wait for her,” she said. “He waited for two months” before moving on.

But as the dinner went along, Koestner grew more awkward, certain that her fellow diners were staring at her.

“I had the knot in my stomach,” she said. But unwilling to make a scene, she grew less assertive. “I ignored the knot.”

Entertainment options after dinner were limited to a few random bars, and an overnight movie theater.

“I can tell you that earlier in the day, I had spent $8.99 on a glow in

the dark star kit to put on my ceiling,” Koestner said.

So she invited him to her room, where they turned out the lights, danced under the artificial stars, and kissed.

THAT’S when she felt his hand reach behind her back in an attempt to unbutton her dress.

Koestner’s first reaction? He was going to ruin her dress.

She resisted and pulled away.

He insisted.

Koestner recalled turning away from him, and in the reflection of a nearby full-length mirror, seeing him take off his tie and jacket and commenting about the heat.

She jokingly tossed a stuffed animal or two in his direction, and letting out a stilted laugh.

It was then, Koestner said, the scene went from funny to not funny.

Too meek to fight

back, Koestner recalled being forced to the floor, her arms pinned over her head.

“What are you doing?” she asked him.

“Nothing,” he replied.

She barely considered fighting back, and decided not to scream, more out of shock and embarrassment than for any other reason.

“I don’t know how long it lasted,” she said.

She remained paralyzed on the floor, barely moving, after he left.

Koestner’s roommate, who had gone home for the weekend, returned the next day.

She took Koestner to the campus clinic.

No doctor was on duty. A nurse, telling Koestner she was distraught, sent her home with sleeping pills, and told her to come back in a couple of days.

Koestner did literally that, before mustering the courage to call her parents.

Her father — an FBI agent — was ready to head to campus immediately to haul in her attacker. He asked how it happened. Did he break down her door? Attack her outside?

Koestner told him she had invited her attacker into her dorm.

Her father’s tone changed.

“Katie,” she remembered him saying. ‘It would not have happened if you have not let him in your room.’

Her father hung up the phone.

“We haven’t talked

about it since,” she told the stunned audience.

Eventually, Koestner went to the police, realizing she was dealing with an attacker who likely was unaccustomed to being told no.

The typical rapist commits the crime 12 to 17 times before being arrested, Koestner noted.

She didn’t want her fate to happen to someone else.

The DA told her there was little chance of a conviction, and declined to press charges.

By then, the meek Katie Koestner was growing in strength.

She pressed the issue through the college.

Her attacker admitted then that after remembering her telling him no 12 times previously, when her protestations stopped, he figured she’d changed her mind.

He was found guilty by the college. His punishment?

He was forbidden from entering her dorm for a year.

Some time later, the attacker was accused again, by another girl, and expelled.

KOESTNER’S story took on a life of its own.

First, came the Time Magazine cover story.

Then came the backlash.

When hearing HBO planned to do a movie on Koestner’s story, 2,000 of her fellow William and Mary students signed a petition that cast doubt on her truthfulness.

Her car was vandal-

ized.

She was branded a slut. A liar.

But eventually, her supporters grew in numbers as well.

“If you stand for what you believe in,” she told the crowd, “eventually, you won’t be standing alone.

“I didn’t come here to tell you my story,” she continued. “I came here to ask you for your help, your strength, your courage.”

She noted the males in the audience can take heart, too. Not as potential attackers, but rather as protectors.

She recounted hearing from a Naval officer, who told Koestner about growing up and having a crush on one girl in particular, then seeing that girl in a drunken state at a party. The girl eventually passed out, but the man heard a group of others talk about their plans to have their way with her.

He confronted them, and finally sat next to the girl in a chair.

Eventually, they backed down, Koestner said, and the issue was resolved.

Most remarkably, the man who later joined the Navy never told his crush about what he had done to protect her.

It’s stories like that, Koestner said, that should be praised.

It’s stories like that which continue to give her strength.

Since her attack a generation ago, Koestner has spoken about her story to thousands of college students, and been interviewed on multiple occasions about sexual assault.

She is now director of Take Back The Night, a non-profit organization that serves an advocate for sexual violence victims.

Her presentation was sponsored by Allen Student Life Organization.

Make her fall in love all over again with this unique and personalized Valentine’s Day gift!

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Terminology crucial in tax comparisons Except for those who deal with the numbers on a frequent basis, how property taxes are figured can be complicated.

The process contains two main components: appraised value, often called market value of a property because it generally is what a house would be expected to fetch when sold; and assessed value, a percentage of appraised value and what is used to determine taxes.

For simplicity’s sake, let’s say a house is appraised at $100,000. To find its assessed value, that number is multiplied by 11.5 percent, the taxing rate for residential property.

Commercial property is taxed at 25 percent of its appraised value. The tax rate, in mills, is applied to the assessed valuation to come up with tax dollars owed.

Knowing those facts leads us to the point of this editorial.

Our state senator, Caryn Tyson, recently was quoted in the Ottawa Herald as declaring Kansans paid $4 billion a year in property taxes, and that the collective value of Kansas property was $33 billion. She added that meant in 8.25 years the annual tax would equal the total value of Kansas property.

That is true mathematically, and would be correct if it were made clear she was talking about assessed valuation. However, it is likely most readers (and listeners when she repeated the numbers in public settings) assumed Tyson was talking about market value, what a person paid for their house or what it would likely bring if sold.

Fact is, property value in Kansas totals about $200 billion, meaning a $4 billion annual tax is 2 percent of that total, and it would be 50 years before an owner paid taxes equal to market value.

We think Tyson is eager to represent herself and what she says to constituents in a fair and honest way.

It would be wise and more instructive for constituents if she would give full disclosure on this topic and all other taxes with so

much emphasis during the current session being put on a $342 million revenue shortfall for the current fiscal year (2017) budget.

Solving this year’s budget mess is not a one-shot affair. Projected shortfall for fiscal year 2018, which starts July 1, is $500 million, with fiscal 2019’s of similar proportions.

Deep cuts to education and other very necessary programs, from law enforcement and highway construction and maintenance to healthcare and social safety net programs, have occurred like clockwork since legislators bought into Gov. Sam Brownback’s income tax cuts in 2012-13.

Putting all those things back on level footing will be a titanic task.

As Dr. Barry Flinchbaugh, noted Kansas State economist, told those at a gathering here Monday evening, it can be done.

The starting point is to convince Brownback that supply-side economics, on which the income tax cuts were based, is fantasy. The concept — that money retained by business owners will result in expansion and increased employment —“doesn’t work,” Flinchbaugh said.

The current crop of legislators through coalitions of Democrats and moderate Republicans may be able to turn back some or all of the cuts, but the linchpin is getting Brownback to go along. That’s a must, because passing such legislation for his approval in veto-proof fashion is unlikely, even with the upheaval that occurred on Nov. 8 in the House and Senate.

Tyson has said, “We must address government spending and our current tax code so that it is fair for all Kansans.” We agree with redoing the tax code, but have concerns about any additional spending cuts.

Rep. Kent Thompson told the Register any further cuts would find bone only to sever. Muscle and tissue have been stripped from the skeleton of state government.

Bannon has undue influence over Trump Plenty of presidents have had prominent political advisers, and some of those advisers have been suspected of quietly setting policy behind the scenes (recall Karl Rove or, if your memory stretches back far enough, Dick Morris). But we’ve never witnessed a political aide move as brazenly to consolidate power as Stephen Bannon — nor have we seen one do quite so much damage so quickly to his putative boss’s popular standing or pretenses of competence.

Mr. Bannon supercharged Breitbart News as a platform for inciting the alt-right, did the same with the Trump campaign and is now repeating the act with the Trump White House itself. That was perhaps to be expected, though the speed with which President Trump has moved to alienate Mexicans (by declaring they would pay for a border wall), Jews (by disregarding their unique experience of the Holocaust) and Muslims (the ban) has been impressive. Mr. Trump never showed much inclination to reach beyond the minority base of voters that delivered his Electoral College victory, and Mr. Bannon, whose fingerprints were on each of those initiatives, is helping make sure he doesn’t.

But a new executive order, politicizing the process for national security decisions, suggests Mr. Bannon is positioning himself not merely as a Svengali but as the de facto president.

In that new order, issued on Saturday, Mr. Trump took the unprecedented step of naming Mr. Bannon to the National Security Council, along with the secretaries of state and defense and certain other top officials.

President George W. Bush’s last chief of staff, Joshua Bolten, was so concerned about separating politics from national security that he barred Mr. Rove, Mr. Bush’s political adviser, from N.S.C. meetings.

To the annoyance of experienced foreign policy aides, David Axelrod, President Barack Obama’s political adviser, sat in on some N.S.C. meetings, but he was not a permanent member of the council.

More telling still, Mr. Trump appointed Mr. Bannon to the

patients. An ACHS clinic will open in Moran later this year. JoAnna Curl, a physician’s assistant who is full time now in Humboldt, will also be at the Moran clinic. Curl is a Moran native.

A key addition to the hospital in March will be an orthopedist who specializes in pain treatment, including implant of an electronic stimulator. A balloon procedure to relieve pain caused by spinal problems is another practice feature, Thompson said. The hospital is also actively recruiting a trauma orthopedist who is leaving an area hospital. “We — all hospitals — have a lot of questions of what is going to happen at the state and federal levels,� the administrator said, and keeping tabs is important because changes can occur quickly.

Thompson pointed out the hospital had to draw on reserves during 2016 because of lagging admissions, but said 2017 is off to a good start and may be a better year financially. What governing bodies do is important because the bulk of hospital patients pay their bills through the aid of Medicare and Medicaid programs.

A committee continues to discuss erecting a medical arts building on the hospital campus, and “a capital (fundraising) committee was just formed,�

Thompson said.

Commissioner Jerry Daniels said he had been asked about a number of advertisements

portraying neighboring hospitals as preferred choices of patients. “Do you have a public relations person?� Daniels asked Thompson.

Thompson said such a person was being considered, who also would be involved in fundraising.

He cautioned ACHS is a $46 million organization while Chanute’s Neosho County Regional Medical Center is in the $180 million category, which makes cost of personnel and advertising more easily accomplished.

IN OTHER business, commissioners: — Put aside until later a decision on adopting a new software program for public safety responders: 911, dispatch, the jail and county and cities officers. Initial cost mentioned was in excess of $88,000; annual maintenance another $28,000. It would replace a system that has been in place for 14 years, and has been a source of concern, both Sheriff Bryan Murphy and Iola Chief of Police Jared Warner attested.

Commissioner Tom Williams suggested the county pay all costs up front, with maintenance costs apportioned to various users plus a surcharge to offset a small portion of startup. — Embraced unanimously a proposal by Iola to make Michael Burnett Emergency Medical Service director, moving him from the interim position. — Mentioned in passing was improvement to ambulance stations in

Marmaton Valley girls get first win

HUMBOLDT — It had all the grace and elegance of a monster truck rally.

Humboldt’s girls’ basketball team emerged victorious, 3833, over visiting Eureka, but offensive struggles still persisted throughout.

Consider: Humboldt won, despite going without a field goal the final 7 minutes of the game — and the first five minutes of the first quarter.

“We’ve got a lot to fix and work on over the next few days,” Humboldt head coach Aubrey Jones said. “It was an ugly win, but at least it was a win.”

The win was sealed with some rugged defense and sterling free throw shooting.

Humboldt’s Aricah McCall went 4-for-4 from the line in the fourth quarter. As a team, the Cubs hit 7 of 9 from the line while the game was still in doubt.

Boys High School Basketball: Iola 56, Santa Fe Trail 51

ALTOONA — The Marmaton Valley girls basketball team has had a tough start to the season, but on Tuesday night, they were able to let out some frustration and collect their first win of the season with a 48-17 beatdown of Altoona-Midway.

Marmaton Valley senior point guard Kyla Drake led the team with 20 points in the first three quarters. The Wildcat starters didn’t score in the fourth quarter as Marmaton Valley coach Gavin Cole certainly had no ambitions of embarrassing the Jets.

Sophomore Patricia Outlan and senior Taryn Covey each scored seven for the Wildcats while Isabelle Bigelow scored five.

BOYS The Marmaton Valley boys team was also able to run away with a lop-sided victory over Altoona-Midway.

The Wildcats defeated the Jets 62-9.

Marmaton Valley junior point guard Justice Pugh scored 17 points in just the first half to pace his team.

Juniors Korbin Smith and Brock Hall joined their classmate in double figures. Smith had 12 and Hall netted 10.

Josh Wise and Alex Cochran each added six points for Marmaton Valley.

The Wildcats slowed the game down in the final quarter after building a 58-7 lead after three quarters.

UP NEXT The Wildcats will face a much taller task on Friday night when they host rival Uniontown.

Mustangs slip past Chargers to keep pace in the Pioneer

By JON DYKSTRA The Iola Register

CARBONDALE — The Iola Mustangs needed a pick-me-up. As the third quarter inched near a close, they were behind Santa Fe Trail 3127 on Tuesday night in Carbondale.

That’s when Isaiah Fawson came to the rescue, guiding Iola to a 56-51 win.

The senior guard had been struggling from the field all evening and his automatic jump shot wasn’t falling, so late in the third he changed gears and began to attack the basket to try to get a rhythm.

“My first half, I couldn’t shoot at all, so we focused on getting it inside to the posts,” Fawson said. “I decided See MUSTANGS | Page B3

Fillies overcome offensive woes to pick up road victory

Iola senior guard Sydney Wade looks up court as she drives by Santa Fe Trail junior Hannah Honeyman on Tuesday in Carbondale. REGISTER/JON DYKSTRA

CARBONDALE — Every game isn’t going to be a work of art and Iola coach Becky Carlson likely won’t be making any highlight tapes based on Tuesday’s 28-26 win over Santa Fe Trail.

However, the key word in the previous statement is “win” and that is exactly what the Fillies did on Tuesday night in Carbondale.

“A win is a win,” Iola senior Toni Macha said. “I was really

happy to end up on that side of it.”

In fact, the win marked the third straight for Carlson’s crew and they improved their league record to 4-1 after winning four straight league games (five if you count a win over Prairie View in the Burlington Invitational).

So does only scoring 28 points bother Carlson? Not really, because they gave up only 26.

“It is a great win for us. Like I told (my players), ‘This is a win, we are 8-5. We could’ve

been 7-6, but we are 8-5 and nobody needs to know but us,’” Carlson said referring to the close score.

Early in the fourth quarter, the Chargers took a 24-20 lead and things looked bleak for the Fillies, but their veteran playmakers weren’t going to allow Iola to drop this one.

Macha quickly scored off an assist from junior Macayla Bycroft, then senior point guard Sydney Wade came up with a steal and took it coastSee FILLIES | Page B4

Campus-carry repeal bill stuck

By JOHN HANNA AP Political Writer

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Gun-rights lawmakers in Kansas showed Tuesday that they might still have enough clout to ensure that people can carry concealed weapons on college campuses starting in July by keeping a bill to block the policy stuck in a legislative committee.

The Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee refused on an unrecorded voice vote to advance the anti-concealed carry measure to the full Senate for further debate. The bill would give universities, colleges and public hospitals and clinics a permanent exemption from a 2013 law that allowed gun owners 21 and older to carry concealed weapons into more public buildings.

The law granted universities, colleges and hospitals a four-year exemption from the mandate and opposition to allowing concealed weapons has grown increasingly vocal as the end of the exemption has neared. Under the law, concealed guns could not be banned from public buildings unless they have adequate security, such as guards or metal detectors — which could prove costly.

The Senate committee’s action doesn’t kill

the repeal bill outright, and a House committee planned to have a hearing on its own measure Wednesday. But the Senate panel’s vote was the first test of whether a shift in the Legislature after last year’s elections and strong opposition from university communities would prompt lawmakers to rethink concealed carry on campuses.

“We went through all of this when the law was originally passed — we went through this whole process,” said Republican Sen. Bud Estes, of Dodge City. “It’s just a matter of Second Amendment rights.”

Sen. Jeff Longbine, an Emporia Republican who supports reversing the concealed carry policy, said he believes backers of the idea will get “other bites at the apple.”

But Democratic Sen. Oletha Faust-Goudeau, of Wichita, a leading sponsor of the repeal measure, said she hopes legislators look at reinstating requirements for a state permit and training to carry concealed, which were repealed by a 2015 law. Other backers of the repeal bill treated the Senate committee’s vote as a significant setback.

“It’s incredibly clear who the senators on this committee work for, which is the gun lobby and not for the people,”

said Megan Jones, a University of Kansas graduate student. “I’m angry because we deserve to live in a gun-free environment.”

Kansas is one of eight states that allow or are set to allow concealed weapons on campus, according to the National Rifle Association. The group said Maryland and Missouri also have proposals to ban it.

Voters last year ousted two dozen of Gov. Sam Brownback’s conservative Republican allies from the Legislature, giving Democrats and moderate Republicans more power.

But there’s also strong support for gun rights throughout the state. In 2010, an amendment to the state constitution reiterating that gun ownership is an individual right passed with 88 percent of the vote. And last year, an amendment aimed at protecting hunting rights passed with 81 percent of the vote.

Brownback, who signed the 2013 law, also remains a strong gunrights supporter.

“There are always concerns any time you’re talking about Second Amendment issues, but it still remains a Second Amendment right,” Brownback said during an interview Tuesday. “It’s a nation of laws, and we’ve got a constitution.”

Health foundation, HCA reach settlement KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A lawsuit filed seven years ago over the acquisition of the former Health Midwest hospital chain in the Kansas City area is settled.

The Kansas City Star reports (http://bit. ly/2jR1Y79 ) The Health Care Foundation of Greater Kansas City said Tuesday it will receive about $160 million from its lawsuit against the Hospital Corporation of America and its affiliate, HM Acquisition LLC. The lawsuit alleged HCA didn’t meet a capital improvement commitment it made as part of its purchase of the hospital chain. It follows another $15 million settlement in 2015 over whether HCA met its

agreements on uncompensated care.

The foundation awards grants to area nonprofits that provide health care services.

Foundation officials said the total $175 million will be used to continue promoting quality health for the uninsured and underserved.

to stop shooting and drive instead.”

It started with a layup to cut the margin to 3129, then after another drive, he was fouled and converted on a pair of free throws to tie the game.

Even so, Fawson hadn’t connected from three-point range yet.

But that quickly changed as well as he extended his range in a major way to close the third quarter.

As the buzzer sounded, Fawson launched a three-quarters court shot which banked off the glass and right through the net.

A shot of electricity coursed through the stunned Iola bench and crowd that made the hour-and-a-half journey north well worth the effort.

“I hit that shot and it got our momentum going and from there... yeah,” Fawson said referring to the fourth quarter where Iola was able to build on the momentum.

Fawson began the fourth quarter with another score and he had eighth and ninth straight points as the senior single-handedly turned a four-point deficit into a five-point lead.

Santa Fe Trail continued to fight back and cut the lead to 38-37 at one point, but back-to-back baskets from Ben Cooper and Zach Cokely padded the lead once more.

The Chargers cut the margin to 48-44 on a basket by John Long who finished with 23 points.

After Long’s basket, the Charger student section began to chant, “You can’t stop him.”

Iola forward Ethan Holloway quickly reminded the Chargers who they couldn’t stop and drove to the baseline before finishing with a

FOULED OUT: None.

Iola senior guard Ben Cooper has his jersey tugged as he drives past Santa Fe Trail sophomore Dakota Baker on Tuesday night in Carbondale. REGISTER/JON DYKSTRA flip-shot in the lane.

“I just feel like when I’m in one-on-one coverage, coaches always tell me to work down there, so I’m used to just getting around people and scoring when it’s one-onone,” Holloway said.

The 6-7 junior faced double and triple teams throughout the night, but still managed to finished with 16 points.

After Holloway’s basket, the Chargers were forced to try and foul Iola in hopes of making a comeback.

That is not a game you want to play with this year’s squad as Cooper, Fawson and fellow senior Joey Zimmerman combined to go 6 of 8

from the line down the stretch and for the game, Iola was 17 of 24 from the stripe.

“One of our main goals is to make more free throws than the other team shoots,” Iola coach Jay Applegate said after his team held the Chargers to only two free throw attempts.

“That is invaluable, because it gets the other team in foul trouble and we can go to the line.”

Fawson and Holloway shared the team lead in scoring at 16 points each, but Applegate admitted after the game that he was frustrated after Holloway scored 10 points in the first quarter and the team appeared to

stop feeding its matchup nightmare.

“It was big to get started like that, but then we were the ones that went away from it,” Applegate said. “We went away from it and in the second half we got back it. This isn’t rocket science. It was pretty simple what was going on tonight and we wanted to make it hard.”

Other than Holloway and Fawson, the Mustang scoring load was evenly distributed.

Zimmerman had a season-high eight points while Cokely had six and Cooper and Evan Sigg each had five.

“I thought Joey was big tonight on defense,”

Cubs: Hoepker scores 41 in Cubs’ win Continued from B1

Meanwhile, Humboldt flustered Eureka’s post players in an array of wild shots from the inside, and errant attempts from the perimeter.

The opening moments were all Eureka. The Tornadoes held Humboldt scoreless the first 5 ½ minutes before Humboldt’s Makaylah McCall connected from inside.

Still, Eureka led 9-2 after one quarter before Humboldt’s offense started to get untracked.

McCall hit a pair of free throws and two more field goals midway through the second period to close the gap.

Annalise Whitcomb’s halftime buzzer-beater pushed Humboldt on top for the first time, 18-17.

Eureka opened the third quarter with a pair of quick buckets to retake the lead, 22-18, but Humboldt then held the Tornadoes scoreless the rest of the period.

Whitcomb’s field goal midway through the quarter gave Humboldt a 24-22 lead. Her steal and layup on the next possession pushed the lead to four.

By the time Whitcomb opened the fourth quarter with another field goal, Humboldt’s run had reached 13 straight points.

Still, the 31-22 lead was anything but safe.

Whitcomb’s field goal, it turned out, was the final one of the night for the Lady Cubs.

Humboldt sophomore Morgan Mauk steals the ball from an Eureka player during the Cubs’ 38-33 win on Tuesday night in Humboldt. REGISTER/RICHARD LUKEN Eureka’s Raegan Boone drilled a pair of 3-pointers in the final eight minutes to make things quasi-interesting, but two other attempts rimmed out, including one that would have given Eureka the lead.

Instead, Aricah McCall and Maggie Johnson teamed up to hit six straight free throws over the next two minutes of game time to put the contest out of reach.

Whitcomb led the way with 12 points. Makaylah McCall added 10.

Johnson followed with seven and Aricah McCall with six.

Boone paced Eureka with 11.

Humboldt also prevailed, 21-17, in junior varsity play. Savannah Puckett and Morgan

Mauk led the Cub junior varsity with five points each.

TOTALS: 13-12-5-38.

BOYS Rayce Hoepker did it again.

This wasn’t a 51 point outburst like he had two

weeks ago, but the senior did go for over 40 points again with a 41-point performance in front of his home crowd in Humboldt’s 64-43 victory over Eureka.

Humboldt only led 33-28 at halftime, but a 12-6 third and 19-9 fourth quarter propelled the Cubs to a win.

Hoepker shot 12 of 18 from the field and made five of this eight three point attempts.

He finished 12 of 13 from the free throw line.

The Cub star is now averaging an even 30 points per game and is shooting 62 percent from the field and 50 percent from threepoint range on 98 attempts. He is also an 85 percent free throw shooter.

Sophomore Bo Bigelow joined his heralded teammate in double figures with 12 points.

Senior Daylon Splane added four points and Hesston Murrow had three while Lance Daniels had two.

The win improves Humboldt to 12-1 overall.

The Tornadoes fall to 2-11 overall this season.

UP NEXT The Cubs will host Caney Valley on Friday.

Applegate said. “Zach also came in and played really well.”

The win gives Iola its third straight league win. After starting the year 0-2 in league play, the Mustangs are now 3-2. With a win over Burlington on Friday night, the Mustangs would tie the league favorites with two losses each in the Pioneer League.

“The Chanute (loss on Friday) sucked because it was homecoming,” Holloway said.

“But league is more important and we are still in the chase to win the league.”

BOX SCORE Iola 56,

JUNIOR VARSITY The Iola junior varsity won 43-39 with some clutch foul shooting from Cale Barnhart and Cole Regehr to stamp the win late.

Barnhart led the Mustangs with 12 points and he saw that translate into an increased role in the varsity game as well.

Blake Ashmore scored nine points and that performance led to an opportunity to suit up in the varsity game. Ashmore hit a trio of threes.

Cokely had six while Regehr had five and Matt Miller added four.

Kane Rogers and Hunter Preston each had two.

FRESHMEN The Iola freshmen completed a perfect night for the Mustangs with a 49-28 win.

Casen Barker led the team with 12 points while Calvin Delich scored 11 and Noah Ashmore added 10.

Bragg officially charged

By DAVE SKRETTA The Associated Press

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Kansas forward Carlton Bragg has been charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and remained suspended indefinitely Monday from the third-ranked Jayhawks.

Lawrence municipal court administrator Vicki Stanwix confirmed that Bragg was given a notice to appear in court after police said they found two glass smoking devices with residue inside. The paraphernalia was found last month while university police were investigating a reported rape at McCarthy Hall, which houses the basketball team on campus.

The drug case is not related to the alleged rape case at the housing complex, which is located next door to Allen Fieldhouse. Five of Self ’s players are listed as witnesses on the police report in the assault case, which involves a 16-year-old girl. Coach Bill Self has said “we’ve been given zero information that would warrant suspensions or anything like that” in that case.

Bragg’s first court appearance is scheduled for March 3. His attorney, Hatem Chahine, declined comment.

Self suspended Bragg last week. During his weekly availability Monday, Self said “you can

add two and two, so the whole deal, he’s been suspended for violation of team rules.

“When we found out about it, we acted on it immediately,” he said.

Self said there was no collusion on the part of the school and university police in withholding Bragg’s name from public records, and that everything that transpired was out of his hands.

“We don’t have anything to do with how the police does their job, nor would we ever interfere,” he said. “I would tell you this, Carlton Bragg or your son or your daughter or anybody else who is a student here should be treated exactly the same. I’m not running from that at all.”

Self said Bragg would not play in the Jayhawks’ showdown with No. 2 Baylor on Wednesday night, but he declined to say when the 6-foot-10 forward would be allowed to return.

“Great question and the answer is I have no idea,” Self said. “He’s not going to play against Baylor. Whether he plays after that, I don’t know.”

Bragg was expected to be a major contributor to the Jayhawks this season, but he’s been a relative disappointment on the court, averaging just 6.1 points and 4.8 rebounds.

And off the court, he’s become a major distraction for a team that harbors national championship aspirations.

Fillies: Iola wins third-straight game Continued from B1

to-coast to tie the game.

Santa Fe Trail answered to take a 26-24 lead, but Macha had found a rhythm and her teammates kept feeding her.

“We saw that she was on a roll so we were going to give it to her when she was open,” Iola senior Riley Murry said.

“She really helped us tonight.”

Macha scored to tie it back up and the Fillies quickly got a steal off of their press and got it to Macha again, who was fouled.

Macha calmly knocked down a pair of foul shots and gave her team a lead with 48 ticks left in the game.

Iola junior Colbi Riley forced a steal on the next possession, but Iola was called for an illegal screen and the ball was awarded back to Santa Fe Trail.

The Chargers missed their shot though, and Riley grabbed the board before being fouled.

The Iola guard missed the front-end of a oneand-one, but Macha got the offensive rebound.

Macha was fouled, but also missed the frontend of her one-and-one with 20 seconds left.

The Chargers had one more chance and a lot of timeouts to use. After two timeouts, Charger coach Denver Ramsey drew up a play with six seconds left.

The shot missed, but the ball went out of bounds off the Fillies and the Chargers had yet another shot with two seconds left.

Another Charger shot missed and Iola secured the rebound and the win.

Macha finished with over half of the Fillies’ points with 16. She was particularly strong in the first quarter, with eight points, and the fourth, with six.

“Toni was strong inside and made some great outside shots,”

Yates Center sweeps Crest at home

By RICK DANLEY The Iola Register

A coach’s capacity for disappointment in his or her team is, paradoxically, a measure of their deep-seated optimism in that team’s potential.

Both Crest boys head coach Travis Hermreck and girls head coach Elaine Holloway believe strongly that the respective drubbings they received at the hands of Yates Center on Tuesday might have been met with a different fate.

For Holloway, the missing ingredient was energy. “We just came out flat,” she said after the 6049 loss to the hometown Wildcats.

For Hermreck’s squad, the lapse was characterological.

“The thing that bothered me about us tonight is that we’re a very selfish team right now,” said Hermreck. “We all have our own little agendas, I guess. Our strength, when we play well, is the fact that we play together. And the last few games what we’ve seen is that we’re not playing together. It could be a long stretch between now and the end of the year if we don’t change things. I don’t want the kids to be miserable all year. I don’t want to be miserable. I don’t want people watching the game to be miserable.

of Aaron King, who quietly drained a three-pointer from the corner.

In the end, it was all too much for Crest, who faces Chetopa at home this Friday.

“Last week I’d have told you that that’s a game we could win,” reflected Hermreck. “Right now, I’m not sure.”

THE CONTEST on the

Yates Center junior Jordan Smith scored 14 points in Tuesday’s 62-22 win over Crest High School “I’m hoping that there’s some hidden character there with the boys that we can tap into.”

But, concluded Hermreck, perhaps burying the lede, “Yates Center is a very good team.”

The Wildcat boys jumped out to a 21-0 lead in the first quarter of a contest that would finally overwhelm the team from Colony by 40 points, 62-22.

Yates Center, led by the brothers King (Josh and Aaron), is a long, athletic team, who — to ignore for the moment their many weapons on offense — smothers opposing teams with a stifling full-court press and an equally ag-

gressive half-court defense.

In the scoring column, sophomore Aaron King had 22; junior Jordan Smith, 14; Josh King, 6; 6-11 senior Jon Barnes scored 6, too.

Here’s how brightly the sun shone on Yates Center Tuesday night: Late in the second quarter, the Wildcats — after missing (atypically) a series of easy bunnies near the basket — managed, as if undefended, to snag probably 10 offensive boards in a row, before the ball was eventually ejected from the melee around the post (don’t ask me how) and into the hands

girls side was a closer one. In fact, were it not for the Wildcats’ stellar aim from the free throw line, the visiting Lancers might have ridden back into Anderson County with a victory.

Yates Center girls went 24 of 30 from the line on the night, with the team’s top scorer, freshman Jaylee Catron — who ended the night with 21 — making good on nine out of 10 from the stripe.

Laurel Godderz, Crest, led all scorers with 23 points, including four three-pointers. Her teammate Regan Godderz scored 12.

Medical trial is not automatic pass Dear Dr. Roach: I read your column on a regular basis, and on occasion your response to those seeking advice on the benefits of some particular medication or treatment includes the comment that the trials were not large enough or powerful enough to show any significant benefit.

Are there any medical guidelines for setting up expensive and time-consuming medical trials so that there can be a high level of confidence in the benefit of a particular medication/treatment one way or the other? Is there a minimum success rate of a medical trial before the benefits of the medication/treatment can be considered significant enough for it to be recommended? — A.D. Answer: In the first place, the editors and reviewers of the medical journals publishing papers evaluate the papers for statistical and clinical significance of the research findings.

For large randomized, controlled trials (which usually reveal the best evidence for effective-

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health ness of a treatment), there is a statistic called, appropriately enough, “the power.” The power gives the likelihood that a study will be able to find an expected difference between the treatment group and the control group. A second statistic, the p-value, gives the likelihood that the observed difference between groups could have occurred by chance if the two treatments were equally effective.

Larger and longer (and thus more expensive) trials tend to have more power to detect a true difference and to reject the hypothesis that the two treatments are identical.

The power level varies considerably among trials, and it depends also on how large a difference between the groups is expected.

The minimum p-value that is usually accepted is 0.05. This means that there is a 5 percent prob-

ability that the apparent difference is actually due to chance. A lack of statistical certainty is one reason that “truths” in medicine seem to change over time. There are other reasons, though, including mistaken assumptions, poor research design and, very rarely, outright fraud.

Once a write-up of a trial has convinced a journal, it still needs to be accepted (or not) by the scientific community, who are not a unified body. Some physicians may begin using the new treatment immediately, while others wait for confirmation. I tend to be conservative, especially for the column, and usually wait for very strong evidence before making recommendations.

Dear Dr. Roach: I had toothache and went to a dentist, who sent me to an oral surgeon, who removed a tooth.

Now (on and off), I have a toothache where the tooth was removed (of course, I realize it can’t be a toothache, because there is no tooth there).

I’ve been back to both

the dentist and the surgeon many times.

They have checked and rechecked, and have come up with nothing.

The oral surgeon told me to see a neurologist, because it could be a nerve that is causing me this discomfort. Does that sound right? — B.C. Answer: Feeling pain at the site of a tooth extraction is a nerve pain syndrome called “phantom tooth pain,” or atypical odontalgia.

This condition is very similar to other types of face and head pain, such as trigeminal neuralgia. A neurologist is absolutely an appropriate person to confirm the diagnosis and treat it, which often is done with medications usually used for seizures or depression.

I would be concerned that the initial tooth pain might not have been from a tooth at all, but from the beginning of the nerve pain syndrome. I have heard of people who have undergone multiple extractions for what ultimately was found to be a nerve problem, not a dental one.
