Rep. Thompson: Humanity House shares vision Crisis begs reason

By JASON TIDD The Iola Register

By BOB JOHNSON The Iola Register

Between 25 retirements of Kansas House members this year and the Nov. 2 general election, Kent Thompson has high hopes the composition of the chamber will change — for the better.

If these two facts rid the House of enough ultra-conservatives, “maybe we can have more common sense in the building,” Thompson told the Register Thursday, a day after the official end of this year’s session.

But, that isn’t likely to be the end of debate for legislators, and Thompson fears there is no magic bullet to put to rest recent events so that the fiscal year 2016 budget will be on balance June 30 — a requirement of state law.

First, a week ago, Supreme Court justices ruled distribu-

tion of block grant funding for school districts does not meet the constitutional requirement that schools are funded in an equitable manner. Rep. Kent Many poorer Thompson districts are underfunded. The justices gave legislators until June 30 to resolve the issue or face having the court close districts at the stroke of midnight on June 30, last day of the 2015-16 school year.

Dale Dennis, the Department of Education’s finance guru, predicted between $38 and $42 million was needed to fulfill the court order.

Then, shortly after the gavel fell on sine die Wednesday,

Iola’s Humanity House Foundation is looking for a home of their own as part of their mission to empower people through acts of kindness.

“Our biggest problem is we don’t have a house,” Georgia Masterson, poverty director for Thrive Allen County, said at Humanity House’s board meeting Thursday morning.

Masterson said Humanity House has asked to use Trinity United Methodist Church, located at the corner of Broadway Street and Ken-

that they aren’t sure what the court’s ruling means, said Mark Tallman, a Kansas Association of School Boards lobbyist.

“We’re in an unprecedented situation, complicated by the fact the Supreme Court has not issued any specific directives on what its potential order might be,” he said.

“There are enormous questions that we can’t answer.”

Allen County Tomorrow sets course Steering committee formed to pursue goals

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

Thursday’s Allen County Farmers Market session featured an appearance by MARV, USD 257 257’s Meals and Reading Vehicle.

A crowd of 55 helped put focus into a series of goals they believe will make Allen County a healthier, more vibrant place to live, work and play.

The second annual Allen County Tomorrow vision session took place

Thursday in the new Thrive Allen County location at 7 S. Jefferson Ave., above the Treasure Chest.

Construction is still ongoing, noted Damaris Kunkler, Thrive’s program director and emcee for Thursday’s get-together.

Still, mild temperatures outside coupled with strategically placed

fans indoors kept the environs comfortable for the nearly 2-hour session.

Participants focused on six primary objectives spelled out last August at the inaugural Allen County Tomorrow session.

Bob and Denise Duncan traveled the world for 40 years working on pipeline projects, but seldom together on the same job, Denise told Iola Rotarians Thursday.

That changed a few years ago when they looked for a place to spend their retirement, other than their home base of Corpus Christi, Texas.

An advertisement for an old two-story brick building drew them to Fort Scott.

They also purchased 15 acres of farm ground.

Thus, began the Duncans’ story: Pipeline to Wine.

In 2011 they planted 1,000 vines purchased from Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y., called Arandell, and went to work.

Within a year they were making wine, selling some from the downtown building, where they live in an upstairs apartment. They also have a small art gallery downstairs.

Denise mused that Kansas didn’t permit wineries before 1985 and now allowed only three outlets for wines their grapes are used to produce.

Another state law requires 30 percent of grapes involved in processing to be grown in Kansas.

“I used to get up (for pipeline inspection work) and wonder, ‘Why am I doing this,’” she said. Denise has the same thoughts now but the reflection is more pleasant. “It’s fun and relaxing to work with the vines. I can be mowing between rows and not have a care in the world.”

The winery is called Vineda del Alamo — a concession to Corpus Christi not being far from San Antonio and the Alamo.

Funding debate leaves school officials anxious SHAWNEE, Kan. (AP) — School administrators across Kansas are trying to figure out how a recent state Supreme Court ruling will affect their ability to provide critical summer programs and prepare for the fall semester that begins in August.

Some districts are taking a wait-and-see approach to a stalemate between the Legislature and the court, which has threatened to cease all school functions on July 1 if lawmakers don’t find a way to resolve problems in the current funding formula.

Other districts are busy creating contingency plans for what they will do if the issue is not resolved and the court follows through with its threat.

The problem for most is

Delores married William Fred Wilson Jr. on March 26, 1950, in Elsmore. This union was blessed with five children. In the early years of their marriage, she and Bill lived and farmed in rural Walnut.

In 1956, they moved to Elsmore where they owned and operated Wilson Feed Store until 1963. For many years, Delores worked as a clerk for the U.S. Postal Service in Elsmore and Erie. She also was the secretary for Elsmore Grade School from the mid-sixties until its closure.

Delores was a member of the Elsmore United Methodist Church, Order of Eastern Star, and Daughters of the Nile.

it was announced that May tax revenue fell $74 million short of fulfilling expectations, even after those expectations had been lowered.

It was the 10th time in 12 months tax revenue came up short.

Of course, Thompson said matter-of-factly, the shortfall complicates what legislators will do over the next 26 days to deal with school finance.

“There’s nothing specific” on the table, Thompson allowed.

Republican senators caucused for two hours Wednesday, but couldn’t reach accord.

“I understand there were three schools of thought,” though none drew enough support for traction.

One option mentioned informally, he said, was to raise the statewide property tax levy a mill or two, “but was ignored.” Each mill would raise $30 million, thus a levy increase of a little over 1 mill would meet apparent school needs.

I hope and pray for the good of the state’s future that we have a lot of turnover in the general election. What we’re doing today is not working.

— Rep. Kent Thompson, R-LaHarpe

The statewide levy today is 20 mills. When the economy was robust, it was cut from a 35-mill starting point when the State Base Aid Per Pupil funding formula was installed in 1992-93.

The revenue shortfall would be of albatross proportions, without legislators having to consider an increase in school funding.

Immediately, Thompson anticipates leadership in each house will huddle with Gov. Sam Brownback to decide how to proceed. If their decision is a special session — which seems logical— it probably won’t start before the week of June 20, Thompson said.

Some legislators,

upset with the court’s ruling, have suggested ignoring the order to put more money into school funding. They called the ruling politically motivated.

Meanwhile, Thompson noted, the same could be said of the governor and legislators’ cuts to school and other funding, as well as other financial shenanigans, which keep them from revisiting ill-advised income tax cuts imposed in 2012 and 2013.

“When I first arrived in the Legislature (after being appointed in September 2013), I was told we were on the verge of a constitutional crisis” and it seems to be materializing with the two recent financial

strokes, he said.

“There are two things we can do, either raise more money through taxes, or cut agency funding and borrow more,” from such places as the Kansas Department of Transportation, he said. “I hope and pray for the good of the state’s future that we have a lot of turnover in the general election. What we’re doing today is not working.”

Nor is it going to unless some adjustment is made in income tax collections to massage revenue, he said.

THOMPSON has no Republican primary election opposition, as he seeks his second full two-year term in the House. He was appointed to fulfill an unexpired term in the Ninth District after the death of Ed Bideau, Chanute.

He will have a foe in the general election, Patrick McMurray, Chanute, who filed as a Libertarian.

maintained and buildings are prepped for the new year, said Jim Freeman, chief financial officer for Wichita Public Schools, the state’s largest district.

“If we’re shut down for any length of time, even a day or two in the summer, it will have some real negative impact on whether we can actually start school on time,” he said.

The Wichita district has more than 51,000 students, or about 11 percent of all public school students in Kansas. Its summer food program feeds about 7,000 students at 41 sites through a federal program, and has a summer latchkey program that provides day care for about 1,200 children.

Deputy Commissioner Dale Dennis said officials at the State Department of Education, legislative researchers and Gov. Sam Brownback’s

administration are discussing whether school districts still could spend federal funds and their cash reserves if the Supreme Court declares the entire school finance formula invalid.

Dennis said the state would have to increase its aid between $38 million and $51 million during the 2016-17 school year to comply with the latest court order. The cost would depend upon whether lawmakers want to prevent wealthy districts from losing aid as the state helped poor ones, he said.

The Shawnee Mission School District, one of the state’s most affluent, plans to fully operate on July 1 and ready for the start of classes on Aug. 12, Superintendent Jim Hinson said Thursday.

There’s never been a delay to a school year in the U.S. caused by action of a court or legislature, and lawmak-

ers are smart enough to not let their state be the first, he said.

Others aren’t so sure.

“It appears that we’re a lot closer to a shutdown than we’ve ever been before,” said John Robb, a Newton attorney representing the four school districts — Dodge City, Hutchinson, Wichita, and Kansas City — suing the state.

Attorneys for the districts said that if legislators don’t act by June 30, they’d expect the court to schedule

a hearing for the state to “show cause” why schools shouldn’t remain closed. They said they would then argue that schools should be allowed to spend federal funds, make bond payments and spend money on basic maintenance of their buildings.

But, they said, under such a scenario, classes still wouldn’t be held, and teachers and other staff would not be paid.

Robb said many school employees might seek other jobs.

its, of course! Ancient Romans believed evil spirits envied the happiness of new brides and were out to get them.

Brides hid from the evil spirits with veils. Bells were also rung to keep evil spirits away, hence the ringing of wedding bells today. Some brides even carry bells in their bouquets. In medieval Europe, people believed evil spirits would attack brides through the soles of their feet. To prevent this, grooms would pick up their new brides and carry them into their new home.

Why the bouquet and garter toss?

These traditions originated in medieval times when guests would chase newlyweds back to their room, attempting to rip pieces from the bridal gown for good luck. The bride would toss her bouquet to distract guests, and once the newlyweds made it back to their room, the

groom would open the door and toss the garter to let guests know the chase was over.

Why the saving of the top tier of the wedding cake?

For the baby, of course.

This tradition stems from the schoolyard rhyme, �First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the baby in the baby carriage.� Brides and grooms were once expected to conceive right away and save the top tier of their wedding cake for their baby�s christening. Today, many save it for their first anniversary, as babies aren’t always a given. Some even have the bakery remake the top layer rather than freeze it for a year and risk losing the flavor.

Now you know the reasoning behind some common wedding traditions, There are many others in addition to these, some with very interesting stories!

Extravagant Flowers For An Extraordinary Day

Twist on traditional - The sky is the limit!

By Teresa Erickson Creative Outlet

“Marry in blue, lover be true.� Of course, no one can forget the English adage, “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a silver sixpence in her shoe.�

Brides choosing to honor this particular tradition usually wore just a hint of blue, in a ribbon or a garter for example.

Many brides today still observe the tradition of wearing blue.

Instead of their garter being blue, however, their shoes may be blue or feature a blue sticker on the bottom that says, “I do.� They might also have their wedding date stitched in blue inside their wedding dress.

Brides who really want to break out of the box might actually wear a

It’s no secret. Wedding traditions tend to change with the times.

Take the traditions of the bride wearing blue and waiting to see the groom until she walks down aisle, for example.

The traditions continue today, but in a slightly different way for some brides.

The tradition of brides wearing blue dates back to Roman times when brides wore the color as a symbol of love, modesty and fidelity. Blue was also a symbol of purity and heavily associated with the Virgin Mary. In the late 1800s, blue became a popular color for wedding gowns due to proverbs like,

Rehearsal & Wedding Dinners

blue dress, hat or veil, or go with something a little less obvious like sapphire earrings, blue fingernail polish or a pale blue seashell clip in their hair.

Many brides today are also opting to see the groom before the ceremony begins. The moment, often referred to as “the first look,� provides the bride and groom with a few minutes alone to take in the sight of each other in their formal attire. While some couples insist on total privacy, others invite their photographers/ videographers along to capture their first look on film/video. Some may also invite their wedding party and close family members and friends along to share in the mo-

ment and get some of the photographs out of the way. That way, they will have more time to mingle with guests later.

These are just two twists on some old traditions. Brides and grooms are free to add their own twists or stick to the traditions entirely. The sky is the limit!

When it comes to your wedding day florals, trust the bridal design experts.

Our experience and attention to detail will ensure everything is beautifully arranged, from the bouquet to the boutonniere and beyond.

“Oh dear,” you think to yourself. “My sister gets cranky so easily.

My best friend, although I love her dearly, is unpredictable and undependable. I have some friends from school, but we rarely talk and really only keep in touch through Facebook. My coworkers are becoming friendlier, but we are not what I would call friends yet. I’m getting married in six months and I want to have a stress-free wedding. Whom do I choose to be in my wedding party?”

It’s not always possible to select the “perfect” attendants.

Personalities, traditions, expectations and cultural mores can influence a bride’s choice of her maid or matron of honor and her bridesmaids. There are those who expect to be asked to be in your wedding; after all, you were in theirs. Your sisters and closest cousins would be natural choices—especially to Mom and sweet Auntie. Your best friend and you pinky-swore years ago that you would be at each other’s side, but now her life decisions are not making her a suitable choice.

The hard-to-decide task just got more difficult.

So whose wedding is it anyway? You want to look back on this day and have pleasant memories so make your decisions accordingly. What do you want to remember? Pasted smiles on an array of size 3 gals and tuxedoed handsome men flanking a radiant couple?

The hope of having your wedding photo featured

in the hometown paper’s next bridal insert? Beautifully coiffed hairstyles and tiny ankles beneath tea-length dresses? What will really make your day happily memorable?

Do you even have to have attendants? Centuries ago the role of the maid of honor or bridesmaid was to attend to the bride several days before her wedding; an additional role of attendants, both bridesmaids and groomsmen, was to dress similarly to the wedded couple in order to confuse evil spirits or jealous suitors who might try to sabotage the wedding or in some way harm the couple. Thankfully, the duties have become less risky and demanding and may be as simple as signing as a witness to the marriage.

(Because state laws vary, verify how many witnesses’ signatures are needed on the marriage certificate.)

In selecting whom you will ask to stand up for you at your wedding,

first share your concern with your fiancé and consider his input. Then consider those who are dear to you and whom you respect. The person whom you select should see the opportunity as both an honor and a privilege to be standing at your side. Perhaps there is an older woman whose marriage you admire. Maybe your childhood friend would laugh with you before, during and after the ceremony, adding to a life full of meaningful experiences.

Perhaps your sister has become the trusted confidante you have come to appreciate and she would be the “perfect” choice. Perhaps a male friend would serve as your bridesman (with your fiancé’s approval, of course). The choice is yours.

The goal of your bridal party selection is to enhance your memorable day with favorable circumstances and experiences. Choose wisely… and enjoy your day!

Humanity: Local group stresses need to help less fortunate Continued from A1

Church leaders have not made a decision yet, Masterson said, but have formed a committee comprised of two members from each of the three former congregations to determine the future of the church building.

According to the Humanity House pamphlet, a physical location would be a place “where people in need can find the necessary resources — referrals, shelter, food, personal care items, showers, laundry facilities, Internet access — to help them survive, as well as the social connections that can help them learn the life skills required.”

Humanity House is also seeking to take over operation of the Iola food pantry. Tracy Keagle, a local community organizer, said the Iola Ministerial Alliance is no longer wanting to operate the food pantry and may be willing to turn it over to Humanity House.

Masterson said the pantry’s limited hours are a concern. The pantry only recently added one hour of operation on Saturdays from 11 a.m. to noon to help ser-

vice the working poor.

Board members said they hope to find funding to pay workers at the food pantry. The pantry is currently staffed entirely by volunteers.

Ben Alexander, the new assistant director of Thrive Allen County, said Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program matching grants may help with funding.

“I bet we can find funding to have the food pantry be staffed,” Alexander said. “It seems like a pretty small task and a pretty blaring need.”

The Humanity House Fresh For You garden program has already provided fresh produce for over 200 Allen County residents.

As part of the garden program, Keagle planted two sections of the community garden as well as the plot of land on the Iola square formerly used by the Allen County jail.

“There are no guidelines that you have to meet (to be eligible to receive the produce),” Masterson said.

Sign-ups were capped after 210 people signed up, but Keagle said she tells people to still go

budget.

to the produce distributions because not all 210 people always show up.

Masterson said two distributions have been made so far at the garden on the square. The organization also delivered produce to about 15 residents at the Townhouses.

“The growers at the Farmers Market have been donating (produce)

also at the end of Thursday sales,” Keagle said.

Humanity House is working to organize a hunger challenge where people would attempt to live off the value of SNAP benefits.

The hunger challenge, which is still in the planning stages, would attempt to give people first-hand experience at living on a limited food

of Humanity House is to construct five miniature lending libraries and have area carpenters compete to build the best boxes to house the little lending libraries. The boxes would be judged by the community at a Farmers Market. Carol Sager, director of the Iola Area Chamber of Commerce, suggested having people vote by putting money in the jars of their favorite one.

The board members also discussed the number of homeless people in the community.

“We are very concerned about the number of hungry people and the number of homeless people in Iola,” Masterson said.

The nearest homeless shelter is Faith House in Chanute.

Donita Garner, the head of the Child Advocacy Center of Hope Unlimited, said Hope

Unlimited conducted a study that found 17 people in the community who are homeless.

Victims of domestic violence who are homeless because of domestic violence are included in the count. That number may also include socalled “couch-surfers,” but might not include people who live out of their cars because the study might not have found them.

“I think that a lot of citizens of Allen County who are similar to me, we just don’t have an opportunity to really have our eyes opened to homelessness,” Joe Haynes, a retired instructor at Allen Community College, said. “I know we’re a little bit isolated and I think they’re good citizens, but they have to see the need.”

“Everything that we do at Humanity House is trying to open up everyone’s eyes to the fact that there is a need,” Keagle said.

Departing director gives final thoughts: Running, raising a puppy and Kansas’ tax policy

As I transition to president and CEO of Kansas Ac- Annie tion for Children on June 1, McKay I have reflected on my time as the executive director of the Kansas Center for Eco- Kansas nomic Growth. It has been a Center for tremendous privilege to lead Economic the work of the Center since its inception 3½ years ago.

Here are my thoughts.

I found running about understanding on the part of six years ago at a pivotal failed tax policy proponents time in my life.

Slaking thirst with creek water Day was farmers cultivated crops to keep down weeds, bugs were a nuisance they tolerated and commercial fertilizer wasn’t as pervasive as today’s.

You could drink from a creek without fear of getting sick.

Not from a still pool, though, where moss and scum were a turnoff. I always migrated to a riffle, where the water gurgled over rocks and was sparkling clean, like the Rocky Mountain water Coors beer likes to brag about.

Coal Creek wasn’t much of a walk from where I lived on the east side of Humboldt. When I didn’t have chores to do — like pulling weeds or tending to the chickens — I’d grab my fishing pole, a can of worms and head east. One of Dad’s old metal lunch boxes held a few sinkers, an extra cork or two and some hooks. For a pudgy kid who had priorities, I also put in a snack or two.

I’d be on my merry way.

like fishing much, but always was up for an adventure.

We’d meander along the gravel road, tossing rocks for amusement, and finally come to the creek. A well-worn path led to the creek’s edge. I didn’t know who owned the ground, but no one paid any mind to kids fishing.

If by myself, I’d get serious about fishing, knowing that a small drift of old limbs that looked like bony fingers sticking out of the water was where fish hung out. I’d catch a few, usually pan-size. Most were perch of one denomination or another. They had firm, tasty meat and made for good eating, provided you didn’t mind weed-

ing through a few rib bones.

After an hour or so on a hot afternoon, thirst would intervene.

Not far down the creek was a low-water bridge, across which the road headed up a hill. In a shelf of shale was a little spring where someone long ago had left a glass, chipped in a few places but without a crack. If the spring was running — depending on how much rain had recently fallen — I’d wait while the trickle filled the glass. The water was cool and sweet.

If the spring was dry, I’d amble back to the creek, walk along a path through the brush, sidle over to the swift water and drop to my knees. With hands cupped, I’d take a drink.

Sometimes I’d shut my eyes and imagine I was a pioneer, drinking in the wilds long before Kansas was populated. I could almost hear Jim Bridger and the boys fussing with me to hurry up so we could be on our way to the mountains — way out west.

Trump’s philanthropy falls short of promises

By DANA MILBANK Washington Post Writers Group

WASHINGTON — The whole thing began with Donald Trump portraying himself as a philanthropist and promising to donate proceeds to charity. But the promised charitable contributions weren’t made.

The veterans fundraiser?

Well, yes. But it turns out Trump did much the same thing with another of his undertakings in the news: Trump University.

In the case of the fundraiser, Trump claimed at the event in January — and for days after — that he had raised $6 million for veterans’ charities, including $1 million that he “gave.”

But The Washington Post’s David Fahrenthold discovered that he hadn’t forked over that $1 million, or much of the other money raised, until Fahrenthold began making inquiries on May 21. That earned Fahrenthold the Trump moniker “Nasty Guy.” Nasty Guy’s reporting brought to mind a passage in a November article in Time magazine by Steven Brill.

“The records indicate,” Brill wrote, “... that Trump University collected approximately $40 million from its students — who included veterans, retired police officers and teachers — and that Trump personally received approximately $5 million of it, despite his claim, repeated in our interview, that he started Trump University as a charitable venture.”

A sales pitch by Trump University “lecturer” James Harris, distributed by Trump University executives, said Trump “only wants to leave a legacy.”

Brill continued: “Trump, too, told me that ‘all money that I made was going to go to charity.’ His marketing mail-

ings similarly promised that he was launching the program as a way of ‘leaving a legacy.’ ...

Trump explained that to me by saying that he had planned to make the charitable donations from his personal accounts, but that because the university had had to shut down and was still paying legal expenses, those donations ‘never happened.’ According to Trump lawyer Alan Garten, Trump returned the money to the university from his personal funds once the legal troubles started.”

Trump portrayed himself as an altruist when he rolled out Trump University in 2005, saying it was about his “legacy as an educator” and “access for all” and his desire to “set an example for others to follow.” A legal complaint against him in New York charges that Trump University claimed it was “solely for philanthropic purposes” and that speakers said students’ payments would not go to Trump.

It will be up to the courts to decide whether Trump University was fraudulent, but the failure to make good on the philanthropic claims of Trump University is, at the very least, unseemly. The documents in the fraud case against Trump, released in response to the Post’s request, make the whole enterprise look tawdry.

“In today’s down market I’m telling people to buy, buy, buy,” Trump wrote in his letter to would-be “students” after the 2008 crash. “I think this is one of the most lucrative investment opportunities ever.

Banks are selling foreclosed properties at pennies on the dollar.”

Trump was essentially teaching his pupils how to be vultures, profiting from the economic crash at a time when much of the national

effort was devoted to limiting foreclosures. “We’ll help you by teaching you how to profit from the $700 billion bailout that has opened the door for unprecedented investment opportunities,” the sales material said.

Michael Sexton, Trump University’s president, wrote that foreclosures are “troubling for homeowners but a potential fire sale for real estate investors. Perhaps more importantly than teaching you how to profit from this foreclosure market, we show you how you can actually help the homeowner avoid potentially crippling credit problems. You can do something that will not only help your own financial future, but will also help a family in crisis.” By taking away their home? Best of all, Trump’s students would learn how to risk “Other People’s Money,” or “OPM.” “Our goal is to teach you how to acquire property using creative financing with little to no money down, also known as OPM,” the sales material said, suggesting students “use established lines of credit, like a credit card, utilizing the bank’s money, OPM, to handle their tuition.”

So, students, to review: Trump University encouraged people to run up high-interest credit card debt to learn how to profit from the financial collapse by borrowing more money to “help a family in crisis” by taking away their foreclosed homes. And all this was a public service by Trump, who pledged to give his proceeds to charity but never did — and who now is calling the U.S.-born federal judge presiding over his fraud case a “Mexican.”

By comparison, the veterans who waited four months to receive Trump’s largesse did relatively well.

plan-

ning, Kunkler presented a $20,000 check from Allen County Tomorrow to the soon-to-open community technical education center at the old Diebolt Lumber facility east of LaHarpe.

She noted the tech ed center was but a mere blip on the county’s radar a year ago, until LaHarpe businessman Ray Maloney acquired the Diebolt property early this year.

Maloney has been an outspoken advocate for the center.

The center will provide more advanced training for specific trades, such as construction, with the goal of making students more employable upon high school graduation, or using class certification as college credits.

The center is a collaboration between Fort Scott Community College, Allen Community College and Allen County’s school districts.

Initially, a construction trades class will

feature students from Iola, Marmaton Valley, Uniontown, Crest and possibly St. Paul school districts.

Humboldt school officials have indicated interest if the program grows beyond construction trades.

The $20,000 likely will go toward renovating the Diebolt buildings to meet fire and building codes.

Lancer duo named to 8-man AllStar Game

NBA Finals: Warriors 104, Cavaliers 89; Game 2: Sunday

By JON DYKSTRA The Iola Register

Two Crest High graduates will participate in the 31st Annual Kansas 8-Man All-Star Game on Saturday, June 11 in Beloit.

Hunter Frazell and Brandon Brallier will each play for the East squad in the game.

Frazell is from Kincaid, while Brallier is from Colony.

Frazell, a defensive back and wide receiver, was an honorable mention All-League selection as a junior and then as a senior earned first-team honors.

Frazell was also selected as honorable mention All-State during his final season as a Lancer.

Brallier, a running back and linebacker, was honorable mention All-District as a sophomore and junior, before getting the first-team nod and a spot on honorable mention All-State as a senior.

He was also an honorable mention All-League his final two seasons at Crest. He finished his senior season with 119 tackles on defense and rushed for 608 yards.

Frazell and Brallier helped lead the Lancers to a district championship during their senior season. They were bidistrict champions in their freshman years.

Both players also played basketball at Crest.

The game will kick off at 1:30 p.m. at Trojan Field. The pregame festivities will start at 1 p.m., with the introduction of the rosters for both the East and West squads.

Bench leads Warriors to game one victory over Cavaliers

High School Softball: All-Pioneer League

By JON KRAWCZYNSKI The Associated Press

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — LeBron James sat down on the bench in the fourth quarter as the game slipped away, threw his hands up and grimaced in frustration.

His Cleveland Cavaliers had done everything right against the Splash Brothers. And yet everything still went so wrong as this highly anticipated NBA Finals rematch kicked off.

The Cavaliers shot 38 percent and

couldn’t find a way to stop the Golden State Warriors’ supporting cast in a 104-89 loss on Thursday night.

Curry and Thompson combined for just 20 points on 8-for-27 shooting, but the Warriors’ bench outscored Cleveland’s reserves 45-10 and the Cavaliers coughed up 17 turnovers that led to 25 points for the defending champions.

Fillies: Wade, Snavely, Shields named to 2nd-team All-League Continued from B1

Gardner had a fantastic sophomore season and was not only able to provide the Fillies’ with a reliable glove at third base, but she also held down the No. 3 spot in the Fillies’ batting order all season.

Gardner hit over .400 for nearly the entire season and was able to finish the year with a .403 clip.

“She by far was our most consistent bat all year,” Iola head Coach Chris Weide said. “Every time she came up, we knew she was either going to move somebody around or get a quality at-bat.”

Many players would not even be able to imagine having those numbers at the end of the sea-

son, but for Gardner, that was the plan all along.

“Before the season even started, Coach Weide made us make goals and one of my goals was to bat .400,” Gardner said.

“I am really proud that I accomplished that.”

Gardner also led the team with 21 runs scored and had four doubles to go with 13 RBIs. One of Gardner’s most impressive stats is her ability to get the bat on the ball. In 70 plate appearances this season, opposing pitchers were able to strike the righthanded batter out only four times.

“She will be in the twoor the three-spot for the rest of her career with the Fillies, just because we know what she can

Fillies’ shortstop Sydney Wade takes a swing during a game earlier this season. Wade was named to the second-team All-Pioneer League. REGISTER/JON DYKSTRA

do,” Weide said. “As a leader-by-example, she is the perfect kid for that.

On the infield she is always making plays and talking, so that is just somebody we can really build around. She is such a positive influence on everyone.”

Gardner’s speed also was a huge asset for the Fillies. She finished second on the team with five stolen bases.

One on the major points that Weide was able to take away from the coaches’ meeting was how complimentary the other coaches were of the defensive left side of his infield. Gardner makes up half of that at third base. Her partner on that side is second-team AllLeague shortstop Wade.

“With Chloe and Sydney over there on the left side, we knew that if anything was hit over there we’d have a chance to make a play on it,” Weide said. “That was one of the coolest things at that meeting, because whenever I talked about Chloe and Sydney, that was one of the first things they talked about was how solid their defense was.”

“When you have coaches that have no stake in our program come in and talk about the respect they have for our kids’ ability and potential, that is pretty cool,” Weide said.

In addition to Wade playing a very consistent shortstop all season the junior also was able to give the team consistent production from the top of the lineup.

Wade finished the season with the second highest batting average on the team with a .368 mark.

She also scored 19 runs and had 15 RBIs.

“When I brought Sydney’s name up at that meeting... all the coaches talked about how good she is at the leadoff spot,” Weide said. “At the shortstop position, she has a great arm and great range as well.”

Weide says that over the years Wade’s consistent production has caused fans and coaches to take her play for granted because everyone knows the type of athlete she is.

“We take her for granted, we see her play basketball, we see her play volleyball and then softball and we just know what she can do,” Weide said, “She and that whole junior group, we take them all for granted, but when they graduate, they will be tough to replace.”

Ashlie Shields didn’t have the senior season that she or Weide thought she would have statistically speaking, but the senior catcher provided the young team with much-needed leadership all season and the coaches recognized that, by placing her on secondteam All-Pioneer.

“She is the rock out there,” Weide said. “If we ever need anything out there, we look to her.

She is going to be tough, tough, tough to replace.”

Shields finished the year with a .323 average and scored 15 runs. She also hit the team’s only regular season home run.

Sierra Snavely rounded out the second team selections.

The Fillies’ pitcher was the only freshman to be named to either allleague team.

“She had a lot of pressure on her,” Weide said.

“She knew going in that

Fillies’ pitcher Sierra Snavely throws a pitch during a game earlier this season. Snavely was named secondteam All-Pioneer League. REGISTER/JON DYKSTRA she was going to be our No. 1 pitcher and for her to live up to that, it shows her work ethic and how much she loves the game.”

Snavely threw 99 innings this season was able to finish the year with a 3.96 ERA despite battling illness the second half of the year.

Snavely stuck out 96 batters and was able to pound the strike zone against opposing hitters all season. She finished the year with a 3:1 striketo-ball ratio.

Weide also noticed improvement with Snavely

at the plate as the season went on.

“That last half of the season, she really, really picked it up,” Weide said.

“She was a pretty big force with the bat that second half.”

With Gardner, Snavely and Wade all returning next season, Weide is very excited about what the team can become in the next couple of seasons.

“Every year, we are going to keep reloading,” Weide said. “There is a great group coming back. Everything is looking up.”

Royals: Kansas City blows late lead Continued from B1

Yost said. “Tonight, we just made a series of errors in the eighth and ninth innings that cost us the game.”

Paulo Orlando entered the game as a defensive replacement in right field in the ninth and booted a base hit by Carlos Santana, allowing him to advance to second base to start the inning.

After Jason Kipnis bunted pinch-runner Michael Martinez to third, Francisco Lindor hit a line drive to right field.

Orlando attempted a diving catch, but the ball rolled the wall. Martinez scored to tie the game and Lindor slid headfirst into third with a triple.

Mike Napoli then hit a sacrifice fly to left that scored Lindor to win the game for the Indians.

With runners on first and second in the eighth inning, Yan Gomes hit a one-out grounder to shortstop that looked as if it would be a double play. Alcides Escobar tossed the ball to Omar Infante for the force out at second, but Infante made an errant throw to first. Tyler Naquin hit a two-out single following the error that cut Kansas City’s lead to 4-3.

“We basically gave a game away today,” Yost said. “It feels like we let that one get away and that never feels good.”

Joakim Soria pitched the ninth for the Royals as closer Wade Davis was unavailable.

“Just didn’t want to use him three days in a row,” Yost said of Davis. “It was one of those things where he needed

a day.”

Drew Butera and Cheslor Cuthbert homered for the Royals and Jarrod Dyson’s fourthinning single broke a 3-all tie.

Butera’s homer was just the second of his career.

Yordano Ventura allowed two runs in seven innings, while Carlos Carrasco allowed three runs over five innings.

The start for Carrasco was his first since April 24, when he strained his left hamstring covering first base. He was activated from the 15-day disabled list before the game.

CAVS FAN Escobar has made it

#

clear he’s rooting for the Cleveland Cavaliers to defeat the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals. Escobar wore a gold Cavaliers No. 2 Kyrie Irving jersey during batting practice Thursday.

“I like him,” Escobar said. “He’s doing good. That’s my second favorite player. LeBron (James) and him.”

TRAINER’S ROOM Royals: 3B Mike Moustakas had successful surgery on his right knee to repair a torn ACL on Thursday. . C Salvador Perez could pinch hit this weekend.

He took part in running and throwing drills Thursday.

Indians: OF Michael Brantley (inflammation in right shoulder) could start hitting soft toss Friday. He’s been taking swings off a tee the last several days. Brantley is on the DL for the second time this season.

UP NEXT Royals: RHP Edinson Volquez has lost his last three starts to the Indians. He’s 2-5 in eight career starts against Cleveland. His 8.25 ERA is his worst against any team he’s faced.

Indians: RHP Danny Salazar will make his 11th career start against the Royals. He pitched 7 2/3 scoreless innings against them at Progressive Field on May 6.

NBA: Warriors’ bench sparks team as ‘Splash Brothers’ struggle Continued from B1

James said. “Give up 45 points off the bench and 25 points off turnovers on the road, it’s not a good ingredient to win.”

Playing in his sixth straight NBA Finals, James delivered with 23 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists. Kevin Love was strong as well in his finals debut with 17 points and 13 boards.

Curry and Thompson were 4 for 13 from 3-point range and the two-time MVP turned the ball over five times, but the Cavs succumbed to a tide they never saw coming.

“For the most part I’m pleased with what we did defensively against Steph and Klay,” Cleveland coach Tyronn Lue said. “Their bench did a good job for them.”

Game 2 is Sunday in Oakland.

Kyrie Irving scored 26 points, but shot just 7 of 22. Tristan Thompson had 10 points and 12 rebounds for the Cavs, who are trying to end a pro sports championship drought in Cleveland that extends back five decades.

If they can’t beat the Warriors when their biggest stars aren’t raining 3-pointers, the finals rematch that everyone wanted could be over a lot sooner than most predicted.

But James knows this series is just getting started, and the Cavaliers had the Warriors and raucous Oracle Arena a little nervous when

of 21 from long distance, struggles that often tell the tale of their chances to win.

They also struggled at the rim, with 28 missed shots from point-blank range.

Smith scored just three points in 37 minutes. Key reserve Channing Frye had just two points and was 0 for 1 from the field.

“The moment’s here.

We lost Game 1,” Irving said. “Now we just have to recollect ourselves. In terms of being back here in Game 1, a lot of emotions but now that Game 1’s over just ready to attack Game 2.”

The Golden State Warriors’ Draymond Green, right, fights for the ball against the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Richard Jefferson (24) in the second quarter during Game 1 of the NBA Finals at Oracle Arena in Oakland, Calif., on Thursday. The Warriors won, 104-89. Nhat V. Meyer/Bay Area News Group/TNS they jumped ahead in the third quarter while Curry and Thompson flailed away.

“We had a chance in that third quarter to do something special, but we didn’t counter and do it,” James said. “Didn’t make it happen in the fourth quarter. So I’m looking forward to seeing the film session and seeing ways we can get better going into Game 2, and I think our team will as well.”

All of the talk for the Cavaliers headed into the rematch was about the ability of Irving and Love - two defensively deficient players - to keep

the high-scoring Warriors in front of them.

Curry and Thompson didn’t have the field day that many expected, but the Cavs could never capitalize.

The Cavs threw everything they had at the twotime MVP, just as Lue said they would. James, Irving, J.R. Smith, Iman Shumpert, Matthew Dellavedova. They all took a crack at him while Thompson, Love and the Cavs bigs gave Curry forearm shivers and shoulder checks every time they had a chance.

Curry missed a wideopen 3 in transition later in the third quarter

and Golden State left the door wide open for James and the Cavaliers.

Love’s three-point play gave the Cavs a 6463 lead, but Cleveland couldn’t sustain its offensive attack.

“This was a strange game for us,” Warriors

coach Steve Kerr said.

“We’re not used to having both Steph and Klay off like that with their shooting.”

The Cavaliers were second in the league in 3-point shooting this season, behind only the Warriors. They hit just 7

NOTES: James passed Larry Bird for 10th place on the NBA’s postseason career rebounding list.

He is the only player in the top 10 in playoff scoring (fourth), rebounding and assists (third). ...

James went 2 for 4 on 3s, out-shooting Thompson (1 for 5). He passed Robert Horry and is the career leader in 3s made in the finals with 57. Horry has 56 and Ray Allen is third with 55.

third year Haunt for Hirschsprung’s has donated to the foundation.

Haunt for Hirschsprung’s is hoping this year to secure a permanent structure for the organization.

Hirschsprung’s (HIRSH-sproongz) disease is a condition that affects the large intestine (colon) and causes problems with passing stool. It is present when a baby is born (congenital) and results from missing nerve cells in the muscles of part or all of the baby’s colon.

Big 12 grants OU’s Mayfield additional year

By CLIFF BRUNT The Associated Press

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The Big 12 will have to deal with Baker Mayfield for two more years instead of one.

The conference adopted a rule change Thursday that gives back the Oklahoma quarterback the year of eligibility he lost when he transferred from Texas Tech, meaning he will be eligible to play for the Sooners in 2017.

Mayfield finished fourth in the Heisman

balloting last season and led Oklahoma to the College Football Playoff. If the proposal had failed, this season would have been his last for the Sooners.

Mayfield had appealed to Texas Tech to override its rule forcing him to lose the year, but a five-member panel of Tech’s athletics council unanimously rejected it, saying its decision was in line with school and NCAA rules. Mayfield had been a vocal critic of Tech since that time, saying its ruling was un-

fair because he was never on scholarship.

Mayfield noted his approval of the change, tweeting: “And y’all thought you were getting rid of me....”

Just a day earlier, things looked bleak. Faculty athletic representatives had deadlocked 5-5 on Wednesday regarding a proposed change that would have given him the year back, meaning it failed because it lacked a majority. On Thursday, a new proposal sought to allow non-scholarship transfers within the con-

ference to avoid losing a year if the school the player is transferring from does give a written offer of aid. That proposal passed 7-3.

“One of the provisions in our administrative policies is any current student athlete would be able to take advantage of rules changes to their benefit,” Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said.

“In the case of Baker Mayfield, this would permit him to have transferred from Texas Tech and enroll at Oklahoma on aid without forfeiting

a year of eligibility because he had not received a written offer of aid at Texas Tech.”

Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said in a statement that he was glad to see the issue revisited after Wednesday’s vote.

“I appreciate the Big 12 faculty athletics representatives spending more time studying the important issue of walkon transfers and am pleased by the result of today’s Big 12 vote — not just because it potentially impacts Baker Mayfield, but because it was

the right thing to do,” he said.

Oklahoma President David Boren said new rule leaves no room for confusion.

“Requiring written evidence of an offer of scholarship, which in the case of Baker Mayfield there was no such offer — I think that strengthens it from an evidentiary point of view,” he said. “The conference does not want to get into a he said, she said sort of situation. I think that (the new rule), procedurally, is very strong.”

QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions... and maybe a few actual answers

Any surprise from last week’s Hall of Fame voting?

3 THINGS WE LEARNED FROM COCA-COLA 600

I was pulling for Robert Yates, but not shocked he has to wait another year. I think Mark Martin waited at least one year longer than he should’ve waited to get voted in, but that’s OK. In terms of really attracting attention with a new Hall class, we’ll have to wait a couple more years for Jeff Gordon’s induction, followed the next year by Tony Stewart’s.

1. Record breaking

Will we ever hear of Alexander Rossi again?

Martin Truex Jr. led 392 of 400 laps in the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, which set track and NASCAR records for amount of laps led and total miles (588) in one race.

There were just nine lead changes among four drivers.

Maybe not, but let’s face it, there have been several Indy 500 winners who were far from household names, especially in the past couple of decades. It’s always disappointing to see a race — especially a big race — decided on fuel mileage, but remember, Indy was largely a test track when it was built in 1909, so miles-pergallon calculations are hardly new there.

2. Toyota’s year So far, this has been Toyota’s year.

Truex marks the fifth Toyota driver to win in 2016 and Toyota drivers have won eight of 13 races to start the 2016 season, including seven of the last eight Cup Series races. Among all those wins are two crown jewels, the Daytona 500 and Coke 600.

3. Best quote Second-place Kevin Harvick came up with the best quote when talking

3 THINGS TO WATCH 1. Got a Dollar?

Matt Kenseth’s No. 20 Toyota won’t run the Dollar General colors in 2017 after the company decided to put its marketing dollars to work in other areas next year. This pull-back is tough for Joe Gibbs Racing, which has enjoyed a 30-race deal with Dollar General since the 2012 season. The company called this “strictly a business decision” but has put JGR’s marketing sales department into a mad scramble.

2. More shifting Because of Pocono Raceway’s unique three-turn layout and long straightaway runs, drivers will actually

about his race. “Well, I saw Truex for about 50 miles or 75 miles,” he said.

“The rest of the night I never saw him.

I was back there swatting flies in the

middle of the pack.”

shift up and down during this Sunday’s race to maximize speeds. You don’t normally see this on a closed-course oval, but drivers will tell you Pocono is a combination of road course and drag strip because of its three turns, which all have different banking and radius configurations.

3. Stewart watch Tony Stewart didn’t do himself any favors by finishing the Coke 600 in 24th place, five laps down to winner Martin Truex Jr. Stewart is 35th in points and 60 points behind 30thplace David Ragan. The three-time NASCAR Cup champ has 13 regularseason races to climb to 30th in points and win a race to make the Chase playoffs. Stewart missed the first eight races of the season due to a preseason back injury.

Five straight races without a top-10 finish.

That’s rough for a team that’s supposed to contend for wins and maybe even a championship. Give it a few more weeks and you’ll likely see some shake-up around the fringes, but no major panic just yet. Maybe his guys have been sharing tool boxes with Kasey Kahne’s crew.

WINNER: Dale Earnhardt Jr. REST OF TOP 5: Carl Edwards, Kurt Busch, Jimmie Johnson, Joey Logano FIRST ONE OUT: Brian Scott DARK HORSE: Kasey Kahne DON’T BE SURPRISED IF: Junior steals a win on a fuel mileage run at Pocono.
