Thompson takes on greater role in Topeka

By BOB JOHNSON The Iola Register

In days of yore when hounds chased after foxes, one fellow was given responsibility of “whipping in” dogs, to prevent their wandering from the pack.

Later, politicians borrowed the hunting term to designate a party whip.

Kent Thompson, a burly former Pittsburg State linebacker, seems tailor-made for

the role. With Re p u b l i c a n s holding the power in Topeka, Thompson, R-LaHar pe, will serve as majority whip for the upcom- Rep. Kent Thompson ing session.

“It’s good for us in southeast Kansas to have a House member on the leadership team,” Thompson said. He will join Speaker Ron Ryck-

man and four others in deciding what legislation is given priority. He also will be responsible in keeping Republicans “in line” with caucus preferences on bills and votes.

Having influence within the majority is important in any session and for 2017 it is particularly so. Economic concerns peek around every corner. Public school financing is approaching a crossroads — with a state Supreme Court decision pending —

and alignment of House GOP moderates and conservatives often will come into play.

“It’s shaping up to be an interesting session,” Thompson

understated.

Immediately — and depending on what Gov. Sam Brownback says in his State of the State message Tuesday — legislators will face a $342 million budget shortfall.

“You’d think, with the revenue estimate downsized and with Christmas sales, December’s revenue would be on the plus side,” Thompson said.

That occurred. Revenue was See THOMPSON | Page A5

ACA battle could shift balance of power WASHINGTON (AP) — The messaging battle is on over repealing and replacing President Barack Obama’s health care law, and the balance of power in Washington may be at stake.

KHI News Service announces changeover By the KANSAS NEWS SERVICE

TOPEKA — The KHI News Service, the nonprofit news reporting service of the Kansas Health Institute (KHI), became part of KCUR Public Media effective Sunday.

The journalists from the KHI News Service will become employees of KCUR, and the KHI News Service will cease operation. With funding from the Kansas Health Foundation and other funders, KCUR, the public radio station in Kansas City,

Mo., is launching the Kansas News Service.

The Kansas News Service will be headquartered in Topeka, and cover news from across the state in partnership with public radio stations KMUW in Wichita and Kansas Public Radio (KPR) in Lawrence.

The new partnership will continue to provide news content to newspapers and other media outlets in Kansas, and also will broaden the scope of See KHI | Page A2

Erica Werner An AP news analysis

Democrats believe they already lost the public opinion fight over the law once, when they pushed through the Affordable Care Act in the first place, and Republicans grabbed hold of the issue to drive Democrats into the minority. Democrats are determined that this time, they’ll come out on top.

For their part, Republicans are painfully aware that they’re embarking upon the task of repealing and replacing the complex law at their peril. If Democrats get their

way, the GOP will own every problem and complication that results from the rework, and there are certain to be many.

For both sides, the repealand-replace fight represents a risky and unexpected doover nearly seven years after Democratic majorities in the

sick country.”

Six weeks after Roof ’s arrest in June 2015, jailers discovered Roof ’s journal, prosecuting attorney Nathan Williams told jurors.

Williams showed the court an excerpt from the journal, which said, “I would like to make it crystal clear. I do not regret what I did. I am not sorry. I do feel sorry for the innocent white people that are killed daily at the hands of the lower races.”

Those same jurors found Roof guilty on Dec. 15 of all 33 counts in the slayings of nine African-Americans during a Bible study at Charleston’s historic Emanuel AME Church.

Wednesday’s proceeding was the first day of the penalty phase.

The jury will decide whether Roof should be executed or serve life in prison without possibility of parole.

I would like to make it crystal clear. I do not regret what I did.

— Dylann Roof, accused Charleston, S.C., shooter

Roof is representing himself in the penalty portion of his federal hate crimes trial. He told jurors Wednesday that there is nothing wrong with him psychologically.

During his two-minute opening statement, Roof said he is representing himself to prevent his lawyers from offering mental illness evidence.

Standing at a lectern about 10 feet from the jury of nine whites and three African-Americans, Roof criticized his attorneys, saying they “forced” him to go through two mental competency hearings.

“Other than the fact that I am better at constantly embarrassing

its reporting to include education and politics, in addition to health and health policy.

The Kansas Health Institute created the KHI News Service 10 years ago as an editorially independent initiative with the belief that good journalism is critical to an informed citizenry, a robust public debate and, ultimately, good public policy.

The KHI News Service has played an important role in improving the public discourse on health policy in the decade since it was created. It was one of the earliest examples of nonprofit health journalism and served as a model for many other nonprofit news efforts across the country.

With the growing importance of nonprofit journalism and an increasing interest among local philanthropies, a strategic decision was made to launch a broader, more ambitious journalistic enterprise with the former KHI News Service as the cornerstone of that effort.

KCUR and other public radio partners in the region were identified as the ideal partners.

“The KHI News Service has made important contributions to the health policy discussion in Kansas since it was launched ten years ago. The staff and Board of KHI are extremely proud of all that it has accom-

plished,” said Dr. Robert St. Peter, president and CEO of KHI. “We felt that now was the right time for an even bigger opportunity in nonprofit journalism. The partnership with public radio and the support of the philanthropic community created the opportunity to expand and improve the work done in Kansas to inform the public discussions on important social policy issues. We wish them all the best in their new endeavor. And KHI looks forward to focusing on the policy and research work that we are known for.”

myself than anyone who has ever existed, there is nothing wrong with me, psychologically,” Roof said in a flat, hoarse voice that was almost a rasp.

Roof also told the jury he regretted that information concerning his mental competence will be made public after the trial.

“In that case, my selfrepresentation accomplishes nothing,” Roof, wearing a dark graygreen sweater and gray pants, said. “So you can say ‘What’s the point?’

And the point is that I’m not going to lie to you.”

David Bruck, Roof ’s nationally known defense lawyer who had repeatedly failed to introduce evidence concerning Roof ’s alleged mental instability, sat at the defense table.

Federal Judge Richard Gergel has designated Bruck and his legal team as “standby counsel,” meaning they can give Roof guidance, but they

cannot make statements during trial.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Nathan Williams told jurors Roof deserved to die because of the number of people he killed, his racist motives, the planning he put into the slayings, the emotional toll on friends and relatives, and Roof ’s utter lack of remorse.

“They justify the most significant penalty available to you,” Williams said of those factors. “He shot (87-yearold) Susie Jackson, the most vulnerable among them, the most number of times.”

Williams warned the jury that the testimony over the next few days could be even harder to hear than what was presented during the guilt phase.

Roof was ordered on Monday by Gergel not to approach the jury, the witness stand or the judge’s bench during the trial. Roof declined to question any of the four witnesses who testified Wednesday for the prosecution.

If Wednesday’s pace is any indication, this penalty phase of Roof ’s trial could take weeks.

Court: City’s interests outweigh worker’s speech rights WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — The “operational interests” of a city as a public employer outweigh the free speech rights of a former secretary who provided an affidavit in support of a fired police officer’s lawsuit, a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday in a case involving the city of Hays.

The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the western Kansas city, along with its City Manager Toby Dougherty and Police Chief Donald Scheibler. The three-judge panel found that Firma Helget’s disclosure of confidences in the voluntary affidavit caused her superiors to lose trust in her, undermining the Hays Police Department’s operations.

way I read the case, it would be near impossible for a police department employee to blow the whistle and be protected under the First Amendment,” said Helget’s attorney, Matthew Hoppock.

But Jessica Skladzien, who represents the city officials, called the ruling a “great decision” that preserves employees First Amendment rights while acknowledging government employers have certain rights to regulate the speech of its employees.

“And that right of employers is especially strong for police departments who have a particular interest in avoiding disruption and having a department that runs efficiently,” Skladzien

Helget, who worked as the Police Department’s administrative secretary for 10 years, was fired in 2012 after her affidavit in which she stated she had been instructed in December 2010 to remove Officer Blaine Dryden from a list of officers who were due for new ballistic vests in the coming year.

Dryden, who was known for his union organizing activities, contended in a separate wrongful termination lawsuit that the city decided not to order the vest before the incident that was used to justify his termination.

Helget claimed the city violated her free speech rights under the U.S. Constitution.

“Unfortunately, the

Facebook beating sparks ire CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago police don’t believe a man beaten in an assault broadcast live on Facebook was targeted because he was white despite profanities made by the accused assailants about white people and President-elect Donald Trump, a police spokesman said today.

Charges are expected later in the day against four black suspects, Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi told The Associated Press.

He acknowledged

that the suspects made “terrible racist statements” during the assault, but that investigators believe the victim was targeted because he has “special needs,” not because of his race. But he said authorities are still looking at whether the attack falls under hate crimes statutes.

Guglielmi said it’s possible the suspects were trying to extort something from the victim’s family. Investigators said the victim was with his attackers, including one who was

a classmate, for up to 48 hours, and the attack left him traumatized.

Excerpts of the video posted by Chicago media outlets show the victim with his mouth taped shut slumped in a corner as at least two assailants cut off his sweatshirt with a knife, as others taunt him off camera. The video shows a wound on the top of the man’s head, and one person pushing the man’s head with his or her foot. A red band also appears to be around the victim’s hands.

sult with anyone at the city before disclosing the information, and her affidavit was later used in the police officer’s lawsuit.

Scheibler testified he no longer trusted Helget with confidential information, saying her actions deteriorated “any hope for any trust between the person she was supposed to help run the Police Department.”

She sued after she was fired, and a lower court summarily ruled in favor of the city. Helget appealed.

The appeals court

dence among employees is especially important in a law enforcement setting.”

It noted that Helget’s affidavit placed into question the city’s stated reason for terminating Dryden. But Helget acknowledged she did not know at the time she signed the affidavit why officials removed Dryden from the vest ordering list, and the affidavit does not reveal any improprieties or misconduct by the city, according to the ruling.

The appeals judges also noted that Helget did

not raise the issue with her superiors or inform them after executing the affidavit. The appeals court concluded her chosen form of speech was “disruptive.”

Skladzien said the important takeaway from this case in the First Amendment context is the court’s finding that a public employer need not show that the speech “in fact” disrupted operations. It need only show that the speech could “potentially” become disruptive to outweigh the employee’s interest in the speech.

“Cases involving violation of public employees’ First Amendment rights have always involved a balance between the interest of the employer and keeping a workplace that is functional and the interest of a person in having the rights guaranteed by the Constitution,” Hoppock said. “That balancing test has always been hard, but I don’t think the court should just default to favoring the government’s interest over the employee’s interest every time.”

Southwind to host ag policy talk

By CARLA NEMECEK Southwind Extension

On Monday, Jan. 30, K-State Research & Extension’s Southwind District will present Dr. Barry Flinchbaugh to discuss the big picture of the current agriculture economy and what could be expected of agriculture policy under President-elect Trump.

Because the president -elect has a limited agricultural background, it is more important than ever to make yourself aware of potential administrative changes and perceptions of our industry. We are excited to offer such a dynamic speaker who will not only discuss the current political climate, but will share his insight in what could be expected of the new presidential administration. Although agriculture will be the primary discussion, Dr. Flinchbaugh is sure to discuss other political topics of interest as well.

Dr. Flinchbaugh draws on more than 40 years of professional experience including teaching a junior-senior level course in agricultural policy at Kansas

Dr. Barry Flinchbaugh State University, and lecturing throughout the United States. There are few in the nation who are as knowledgeable about farm policy as Flinchbaugh. He represents the agricultural community through his active participation in the development of U.S. agricultural policy.

His service on numerous national task forces, boards of directors, and advisory groups has allowed him to provide input on domestic food and agriculture policy.

This meeting is open to anyone with an interest, and will be at 6 p.m. at the Iola High School Commons. Please register for this event no later than Jan. 25, by calling the Southwind District at 620-365-2242. A barbecue meal will be provided prior to the presentation for $5 per person, which is payable at the door for those who preregister. The meeting is offered in partnership with K-State Research & Extension and the banks of Allen County, including Community National Bank, Great Southern Bank, Emprise Bank, Landmark National Bank, and Piqua State Bank.

If you are interested in agriculture and politics, we hope you will join us to learn more about agriculture policy and what we can expect under a new president.

Correction Tuesday’s Register failed to include the final paragraph of Kathy McEwan’s article, “Building a radon-resistant home,” which told readers that “low-cost radon test kits” are available in each of the Southwind offices.

Opinion A4 The Iola Register

Thursday, January 5, 2017

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Moran, Humboldt need new EMS barns The condition of Humboldt’s ambulance station is “an embarrassment,” Humboldt Administrator Cole Herder told the Register. Moran’s may be better, but it, too, needs substantial upgrades or replacement, personnel there say, on condition of anonymity.

Allen County commissioners discussed the two ambulance buildings Tuesday, after authorizing purchase of a new ambulance.

Several things have struck commissioners from discussions they have had: Space at Humboldt is severely limited, so much so that backing an ambulance into port is difficult; living quarters in each are barely adequate, and morale would improve with improvements.

With Iola operating the countywide service, and the county with obligatory and financial interest, Humboldt agreed to provide a service building.

The one in Moran is rented from a private party.

What should be done is simple enough, and as with all governmental decisions, money and accord enter the equation.

In the best of all worlds, a combination fire and Emergency Medical Services building would be erected in Humboldt. The city owns a large lot near where such services are dispatched.

Humboldt council members have considered a new fire station for some time and with Sean McReynolds, local dentist, fire chief and master organizer, according to Herder, such an arrangement could quickly find a workable design.

Moran has a relatively new fire station, next to City Hall, and recently merged its service with rural interests. Making an addition for ambulance per-

sonnel is a possibility.

Having medical and fire services under one roof would open a conduit to federal grant money, and, in Humboldt’s case, would be more financially realistic than building separately.

However, Herder mentioned another solution. If volunteer firefighters were to move to a new building, the one they now occupy would be more than adequate for an ambulance and its crew.

Then, Humboldt could put its old city hall on the market — as is, the ambulance service occupies the rear of the building. Whatever was realized would help pay for part of a new building and/or refitting the old one for ambulance.

Also, an agreement between the county and the two cities would open the door for commissioners to dedicate funds in hand, as well as enhance grant opportunities.

Citizens in incorporated areas, such as Iola, Moran and Humboldt, pay county property taxes, the same as those in unincorporated areas. They should reap benefits commensurate with their financial obligations.

County coffers have been fattened by taxes collected on Enbridge’s new pipeline and pumping station, mainly in the Humboldt and Moran areas. Assessed valuation soared by about $40 million. A levy of 1 mill made against the valuation would raise $40,000.

This is a good time, with the county having funds in reserve, to look to the future and provide emergency responders better bases from which to work. Those dispatched from Humboldt and Moran deserve to be treated as well as those in Iola.

— Bob Johnson

This week, though, we tip our hat to Trump for weighing in, along with several thousands of tweets, emails and calls from constituents, and effectively dissuading House Republicans from

trying to torpedo its independent congressional ethics board.

The Associated Press called the about-face dizzying, as GOP leaders scrambled to reverse the decision.

Unanimously, we might add.

The Office of Congressional Ethics was created in 2008 after several members were suspected of bribery and corruption.

Unfortunately, there’s been no sign that such an office is no longer in need.

2017: Working for a brighter future It’s a new year and for the first time in six years, people with disabilities and their caregivers are excited. There is a fresh breeze blowing across the prairie bringing with it signs of life, hope and a new beginning.

Why? We have a new legislative session beginning in a few days and for the first time in six years we have the makings for a moderate legislature, not one with extremist views out of touch with the average Kansan. We have the opportunity to correct quite a few mistakes and move the state forward in a direction that benefits all Kansans, not just a few.

That said, it’s time for a new vision for the upcoming year.

The first goal is quite simple; to be carved out of the long term care and supports of KanCare.

For those with intellectual and developmental disabilities, the last four years have been a period we would soon rather forget. We repeatedly warned the state about KanCare and the negative effects of “managed care” on people with disabilities.

Under KanCare, people with disabilities witnessed service reductions, reduced staffing levels and participated in the bureaucratic nightmare of managed care.

We have not witnessed the increased resources for community employment that Kan-

Tim

Cunningham Tri-Valley Developmental Services

Care promised. We have not seen the increased efficiencies that KanCare promised. We have not seen an improvement in behavioral health care that KanCare promised.

Rather, it has been a disaster. It’s time to create a system that meets the needs of our most vulnerable citizens, which leads me to my next vision of the future.

It’s time to create a system where services are provided and funded appropriately.

— We need government to support independent lifestyles, we need people to be valued as part of the community, we need to provide for their employment needs and have access to the mental health, transportation and medical care they need.

— We need a fair reimbursement system that eliminates the 4,000 person waiting list, that allows us to not only to survive, but grow and build capacity and allows for recruitment and retention of trained employees.

— We need a system that’s consistent and easy to navigate. Today we deal with four different processes (state and

three managed care organizations), job titles, credentialing rules and vocabularies which create inefficiencies, confusion and stress. Can you imagine playing by four sets of rules?

— We need an outcomes based system that collects reliable data and measures how successful programs are. How about incentives for those programs that go above and beyond?

— The state needs to protect the role of the case managers, who are vital to the success of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Today, these positions are under attack as part of the state’s cost cutting measures.

— We need reliable partnerships. At one time, we had a special relationship with the state and worked hand-inhand to create a successful, working system. Policy should not be dictated by those who are unfamiliar with the system and whose only function is to cut costs. It only leads to chaos.

Our goal is to work with legislators, state agencies, families and other stakeholders to create an alternative model to KanCare that encompasses the core values mentioned above; one that will allow us to provide the communitybased, person centered services that we were once known for providing. The sun is slowly rising above the horizon.

A bumbling start in Washington WASHINGTON — Doesn’t anybody here know how to work this thing?

For 10 years, Republicans have waited for their chance to govern, and finally the voters handed them the car keys: unified GOP control of Congress and the White House.

But the moment the starter’s flag dropped Tuesday, the opening day of the 115th Congress, the eager majority seized the wheel of power, hit the gas — and immediately lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a guardrail.

It was the simplest of tasks for the new Congress: The House was to approve a new rules package for the 2017-2018 term, normally a routine matter. But a group of House GOP lawmakers, ambushing their leaders, persuaded the Republican caucus to tack on a plan that would gut ethics enforcement.

Thus did Republicans, after the “drain the swamp” campaign of 2016, propose in their first act of 2017 to overflow the swamp with a new pipeline of sleaze. The headlines were murderous, and Donald Trump tweeted criticism of his fellow Republicans on Tuesday morning: “Do they really have to make the weak-

Dana Milbank

Washington Post Writers Group ening of the Independent Ethics Watchdog ... their number one act and priority?”

By midday, Republicans called an emergency caucus meeting to undo the proposed changes, but not before House leaders were emasculated.

House Speaker Paul Ryan (Wis.), though he opposed the rules change, had just issued a statement defending it. And House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (Calif.), in a painful welcome-back Q&A with reporters Tuesday morning, explained how he had been thwarted by his own backbenchers.

“Why were you not able to stop it?” asked Erica Werner of the Associated Press.

“Doesn’t that suggest that you’re very weak leaders of the conference?”

McCarthy, at the end of a long conference table, looked stunned. “Man! Welcome back!” he replied.

He likened managing the House GOP to his domestic life in California. “At my house, I got my wife and my two kids, and I usually don’t win what we watch on TV,” he reasoned.

The difference is that here in Washington, McCarthy and Ryan have 239 children.

And if this fractious bunch can’t agree without a brouhaha on the routine matter of a rules package, wait until they get to replacing Obamacare and funding the government.

Those worried that President Trump and congressional Republicans are about to enact a sweeping agenda may have an unexpected ally: legislative incompetence.

As Carl Hulse points out in the New York Times, nearly two-thirds of House Republicans have never served with a GOP president. McCarthy, elected in 2006, has never experienced unified Republican control. Now Republicans

have to switch from reflexive opposition to passing their own laws and being held responsible for the consequences. Turns out they haven’t developed those muscles.

Take Obamacare. For six years, Republicans have talked of replacing it, and dozens of times they voted to repeal it. But now they’re in no hurry. At Tuesday’s session, McCarthy said repeatedly that Republicans hadn’t yet decided what to do about Obamacare. “We’re being sworn in today,” he pleaded.

What are some possible alternatives?

“No decision has been made yet. There’s nothing right out there.”

Would the GOP alternative cover as many as Obamacare?

“There’s a lot of areas that you want to look at.”

When will repeal happen?

“I only do week by week.”

How would they avoid upsetting insurance markets?

“Nothing has been decided yet.”

McCarthy was equally unprepared to talk about another longtime GOP priority: the repeal of regulations. “We’re just being sworn in,” he demurred, again, when asked.

First they had to solve a problem of their own creation: the plan to defang the independent Office of Congressional Ethics and put it underneath the deadlocked House Ethics Committee.

McCarthy offered a halfhearted defense of the proposed changes, even while making clear that he opposed them. He kept misstating the proposal and, when corrected by reporters, said he would need to “sit down after and walk through it” or get “a legal opinion on how the wording goes.” Excuses accumulated: “That’s part of the whip’s job ... wasn’t here ... I was in the district ... I’m late for a meeting.”

“You can’t even explain it clearly and you’re expecting the House to vote on it?” a reporter asked.

McCarthy was philosophical. “Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose,” he said.

And sometimes you spin out on the first lap.

Thompson: Busy session ahead for state representative Continued from A1

$541 million, or about 1 percent more than estimated, but way short of what is needed to right the ship.

An upside for moderate Republicans is that Democrats now hold 40 of 125 House seats, and with an increase of middle-of-the-road Republicans a forging of a bi-partisan coalition is predictable. But, Thompson interjected, he would prefer a Republican solution to issues faced, which will entail persuasion on the part of leadership to bring conservatives on board.

Thompson said the only effective tax solution possible is a reach of immense proportions: Brownback could agree to a retroactive income tax increase going back to 2016 and enacted prior to April 15, tax-filing deadline. The chance of that occurring, Thompson admits, is extremely remote. An additional sales tax is also a possibility, and could bear fruit by the end of the fiscal year (June 30), but that, too, floats on the edge of reality.

What may occur, Thompson views with incredulity. “He (Brownback) could try to sell off the tobacco settle-

ment (a strategy that didn’t find traction in a more receptive Legislature in 2016) or sweep unclaimed property revenue.”

Tobacco settlement proceeds were designated for children’s programs, a fact the governor knows well.

“Ron Estes (state treasurer) sent me an email about seizing unclaimed property and pointed out only $40 million is available, not $360 million,” as previously mentioned, Thompson said. The assumption that unclaimed property could be seized is complicated, Thompson said, and in any case would not be enough to address the shortfall.

As far as cutting funds for education, so-

cial programs, prisons and any other state responsibilities, including the Department of Transportation budget, “they’ve all been cut to the bone,” he said.

MEANWHILE, the proverbial elephant in the room will be how to fund public education.

The block grant funding could be extended another year and unless legislators reach accord on a new formula by late session, is likely to continue.

The one-size-fits-all method not only is a disservice to small and large districts alike, but misconstrues the reality of the funding.

Brownback and his allies maintain education funding is at an all-time

high when in fact the increase is merely a passthrough to the coffers of KPERS, the state’s retirement program, and special education.

The formula it replaced — Thompson often has said, “would have been fine if it were fully funded” — took into account such things as students at risk, transportation needs, distinctions in demographics and enrollment fluctuations. Its aim, since being instituted in 1992, was to provide an equal opportunity to a good education for all Kansas children.

Funding the formula was based on a statewide property tax — initially 35 mills and now 20 mills — and distri-

All went well until the Great Recession of 2008 and the state began to cut back on its obligations causing school districts to cry foul and eventually file suit.

An imminent decision by the Kansas Supreme Court will once again decide whether the funding mechanism for education has grown out of whack.

Thompson anticipates the court will give legislators some latitude to cope with whatever their decision is.

is bringing the party’s two factions closer together in order to pass legislation.

Thompson would like to have more of a moderate-conservative coalition in the House, for obvious partisan reasons, but also knows Democrats carry more voting weight than in the past, and unless they become contrary for political reasons, could ensure passage of certain legislation.

He thinks some conservatives are leaning more to the middle, shaken by the reality of the Nov. 8 election.

But some will remain on the fringe. “I know three who voted for the sales tax increase, the largest tax increase in state history, who said they’ll never vote for an income tax increase (or repeal of what was done in 2012-13).” They are mated to Gov. Brownback.

In discussions with Allen County commissioners Tuesday, Sen. Caryn Tyson said she thought her chamber was fairly well split into three camps, Democrats and moderate and conservative Republicans, which will leave leaders there some of the same opportunities as House members in forming coalitions.

Obama’s message: Not to cooperate with GOP replacement plans that don’t offer a good solution for the 20 million Americans who gained health coverage under the law. He advised keeping the focus on those who benefited from the Affordable Care Act, such as people with pre-existing conditions who got coverage, and who might be hurt if their coverage were taken away.

And, he took on blame for Democrats’ failure to sell the public on a law that by some measures has achieved its goals.

“I will take the responsibility for not having fully communicated with the American people for why this is an extraordinary victory for them,” Obama said.

Even as Obama huddled with Democrats, Vice President-elect Mike Pence was meeting with Republicans across the Capitol, emerging to offer assurances that Republicans would make good on their repeated promises to repeal the law.

“The American people know who owns Obamacare. It’s the first half of the title. It is Obama and the party of Obama,” Pence insisted.

“What President-elect Trump and I and the leaders in the Congress are determined to do is to keep faith with the American people.”

Inside the meeting with House Republicans, Pence offered a more urgent message, advising Republicans to “go back to districts and lay the predicate that the Democrats own

this thing,” said GOP Rep. Dave Brat of Virginia. Trump himself offered a similar cautionary note over Twitter Wednesday, writing, “Don’t let the Schumer clowns out of this web...

Dems are to blame for the mess. It will fall of its own weight - be careful!”

Some Republicans are painfully aware that their own political fortunes could be at risk if they fumble the issue.

“I’m here because of Obamacare,” said GOP Rep. Kevin Cramer of North Dakota, crediting the issue for his victory in 2012. And now, Cramer says, he risks losing his seat over Obamacare, “if we let our voters down in places like North Dakota by not acting decisively and swiftly.”

Yet for now, even as they move toward repealing the law as early as next month, Republicans don’t have a replacement plan, or even a timeline for offering one. There’s likely to be a years-long transition period between the repeal and the replacement, but many House Republicans, who stand for re-election every two years, believe it’s urgent to get the replacement done before the 2018 midterms, or risk voter wrath.

“If it hasn’t been done by the 2018s, it’s like, ‘What are you doing?’” said GOP Rep. Mark Amodei of Nevada. “If after five years of Republicans saying it sucks, we don’t do a good job of transitioning and replacing, then Katie bar the door.”

E-cigarette battle over taxes TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A group representing electronic cigarette retailers in Kansas is fighting to prevent the state from enforcing a new tax on vaping fluid.

A lobbyist for the Kansas Vapers Association argued during a legislative committee meeting Tuesday that the bill imposing the new tax on e-cigarettes was drafted poorly and made the original intent unclear.

The association told the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules and Regulations that legislators should revisit the law before allowing the Kansas Department of Revenue to enforce the tax.

“You never had a hearing, you didn’t follow your own rules, it was plugged into the

(conference committee) bill at the end of the session, and that’s why you need to look at this before these rules become effective in March,” lobbyist Tuck Duncan told the committee.

A provision to a tax bill passed in 2015 imposed a new tax on vaping fluid of 20 cents per milliliter of “consumable material.”

Duncan told the panel that confusion lies with the phrase “consumable material.” While the Department of Revenue interpreted the phrase to mean total fluid volume used in the e-cigarettes, the Kansas Vapers Association said it should apply solely to the volume of nicotine and not the water and other chemicals included in vaping fluid.

Duncan said the difference is significant because the tax on one e-cigarette would be roughly the same amount as the item’s price itself. But other tobacco-related taxes are based on total volume of the products instead of solely nicotine content.

In December, as the deadline to implement the tax was set to expire, the revenue department proposed temporary rules that were eventually rejected by the state board because the department did not meet the requirements necessary to justify making temporary rules. This means that although the tax officially went into effect Jan. 1, there are currently no permanent rules to be enforced on retailers.

Correction Bessie Crowell, grandmother of Gregory Hardwick, Colony, called Wednesday to clarify some facts about Gregory that appeared in Wednesday’s paper about his upcoming trip to Washington, D.C. to witness Presidentelect Donald Trump take the oath of office.

Hardwick, 14, is a freshman at Crest High School and is involved in basketball, not baseball, as well as the Young Christians of America and Quiz Bowl.

Rock, chalk, mumps LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Health officials have confirmed one case of mumps at the University of Kansas and are investigating nine other suspected cases since mid-December.

The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department announced the findings Wednesday. Mary Beverly, the department’s director of epidemiology, says it’s not clear where the

cases were contracted but some likely spread before the university’s winter break on Dec. 16.

The first day for spring classes is Jan. 17.

Beverly said some of the students who became ill lived in group housing but others did not. She declined to share more details.

Federal officials say the 258 cases of mumps nationwide as of early December is the largest outbreak since 2006.

The eggs containing instructions in the Cyrillic alphabet appear to have come from a container lost by a cargo ship en route for the German port of Bremerhaven.

Public broadcaster NDR reported today that island authorities have called in the “eggs-perts:” a local kindergarten will help collect the unexpected bounty before it becomes a hazard for wildlife.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A western Kansas family is outraged after game wardens killed a deer that was allowed inside their house and took walks with the family.

The Wichita Eagle reports that Kim Mcgaughey, of rural Ulysses, described the deer as “very much a big pet.”

The 2-year-old mule deer was named Faline, after Bambi’s friend and future mate in the cartoon movie.

But it’s illegal to keep a wild animal as a pet in Kansas, and wildlife officials said something had to be done.

The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism says pet deer have killed at least two people. The department said it was trying to protect people from being physically injured by the deer, and eliminate the possibility of disease being passed to humans, livestock and other deer.

Red Devil women come back from break with win

By JON DYKSTRA The Iola Register

DODGE CITY — The Allen Community College women’s basketball team certainly wanted to begin 2017 better than they ended 2016.

The Red Devils lost fivestraight games before the Christmas break, so Friday’s matchup of teams with 3-6 Jayhawk Conference records was pivotal for the Red Devils as they traveled to Dodge City.

The Red Devils were able to escape with a 64-55 win.

NFL:

Chiefs’ Toub will interview with Chargers

Allen brought the intensity early with a pair of new faces in the starting lineup for Wednesday’s tilt.

Kamri Summons got the start at point guard for coach Todd Buchanan’s squad and sharp-shooter Kendra Houston joined Tamera Shaver as the wings for the Red Devils.

With Summons, Shaver and Houston, Allen is able to pressure the ball with three of their quickest players on the

floor and they can counteract pressure with those three being their top ball-handling guards.

Allen was able to control the game in the first half and they shot out to a 2814 halftime advantage after holding Dodge City to just 17 percent shooting from the floor in the opening two quarters of play.

Dodge City didn’t give up on its home court and made a late run by outscoring the

Red Devils 24-17 in the fourth quarter, but Allen’s talented forwards proved too much to handle.

Both Akia Andrews and Damonica Franklin posted double-doubles in the game.

Franklin had 17 points and 11 rebounds, while Andrews had 14 points and 15 rebounds.

Summons had 10 points while forward Presley Stephens made her season debut with eight points off the bench in 13 minutes.

DCCC MEN 88, ACC 82

The Allen men were unable to find the same success on the road that the women enjoyed.

The Red Devils fell behind 36-30 at halftime and were unable to climb out of that hole in the second half as they fell 88-82.

Sophomore DaRon Mims led the Red Devils in scoring with 28 points off of the bench in 27 minutes.

E.J. Garnes flirted with a triple-double and finished with seven points, nine rebounds See ALLEN | Page B6

College Basketball: Wichita State 90, Drake 65

By BLAIR KERKHOFF The Kansas City Star

Chiefs punter Dustin Colquitt doesn’t want to lose his position coach, but he understands how it could happen.

As a number of NFL head coaches were handed pink slips after the regular season’s end, possible replacement lists were floated, and Chiefs special-teams coach Dave Toub has appeared on at least two.

The Star’s Terez A. Paylor confirmed that the Chargers have been granted permission to interview Toub as a replacement for Mike McCoy. The Broncos are another team that might express interest.

“I kind of get nervous every year,” Colquitt said. “He’s a special-teams coach, but he’s an Xs and Os coach, too.”

Toub has been the Chiefs special-teams coach throughout Andy Reid’s four seasons.

He had the same job with the Bears from 2004-2012.

He interviewed for the Bears’ head-coaching job after the 2012 season. The Bears hired Marc Trestman. A year earlier, Toub was interviewed by the Dolphins for their headcoaching job.

“I thought he had a pretty good chance of getting that Chicago job,” Reid said. “He’d been there, done a great job for him ... but I thought he would See TOUB | Page B6

Shockers off to 3-0 start in MVC with Drake win

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Shaquille Morris scored 13 points, Daishon Smith added 13 with three 3-pointers, and Wichita State used a big first half to beat Drake 90-65 on Wednesday night to win its fourth straight and improve its all-time record against the Bulldogs to 41-4.

Landry Shamet added 11 points, Markis McDuffie had 10 and grabbed 11 rebounds, and the Shockers (13-3, 3-0, Missouri Valley) outrebounded

Drake 54-28, including 18-5 on offensive boards, resulting in 26 secondchance points. Wichita State scored 22 points off of 15 turnovers and outscored the Bulldogs 42-24 in the paint.

Wichita State opened with a 10-2 run and pulled ahead on an 8-2 run capped by Morris’ tip-in. Morris’ dunk with 5:58 left sparked an 11-2 run and the Shockers led 51-21 at See SHOCKERS | Page B6

Officials didn’t decide the Kansas game, but they did decide when it ended

By SAM MELLINGER The Kansas City Star

Kansas players Josh Jackson (11), Frank Mason (0) and Devonte Graham (4) jump on Svi Mykhailiuk after Mykhailiuk made the controversial game-winning layup against Kansas State on Tuesday in Lawrence. LAWRENCE JOURNAL WORLD/NICK KRUG

LAWRENCE, Kan. — Svi Mykhailiuk traveled.

Let’s say that again.

Svi Mykhailiuk traveled.

Everyone saw this. He stuttered, may have stuttered again, but either way took two more steps — that’s either three, or four, and as you are aware the rule gives you two — before making the winning basket at the buzzer of Kansas’ 90-88 win over Kansas State on Tuesday.

A roaring, screaming, shoving, running, shooting, loud, fun game ended when an obvious travel wasn’t called and

that’s a rotten way for the party to end.

“I think everybody knows here what happened,” K-State coach Bruce Weber said. “You want to see my phone?”

Official-blaming may be the most overdone thing in sports, and to be sure, K-State can’t put this loss on one call. Most obviously, a travel would’ve likely meant overtime. By then K-State was playing without senior D.J. Johnson — “I thought the officiating crew did a good job calling it both ways as far as fouls,” Johnson said with a straight face — so it would’ve been running uphill no matter what.

Sports are cruel. A thou-

sand little crumbs feed every result, most of them never noticed or never discussed, and even here we could list a dozen or so things K-State did or did not do that would’ve given it a better chance at the biggest win in Weber’s five years.

The Wildcats could’ve gone inside more. They seemed to lose focus a bit toward the end of the first half, a one-point game turning into a 10-point lead for Kansas at halftime.

They didn’t close out on multiple 3-pointers. Dean Wade — who played well — missed a 3-pointer on K-State’s last possession. We could do this for See COLUMN | Page B6

What do you think Mickey’s modus operandi is, beyond the money she was promised for minding the youngsters?

Her values are completely backward, but she is giving this every effort and doing her best. She just might not have the same values she wants to teach them, but her ultimate desire is to protect them and keep them safe and help them take care of themselves in the world. There are some redeeming things there; we just don’t hit you over the head with sappiness.

On “The Mick,” are you enjoying playing a broadcast-network character who can get away with questionable behavior?

With the 12th season of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” also running now, how is it to be in two series at once?

For so long, characters needed to be likable, and I actually don’t think that’s necessarily true in a comedy.

The circumstances are always positive here. You’re not rooting for (“The Mick’s” Mickey) to fail, because if she fails, these kids won’t have someone watching them.

It’s very flattering, the idea of doing two shows at the same time ...but honestly, it’s a lot of work, and I have two little boys. I said, “If (The Mick’) is not the show I want it to be, I really would rather not do it. I’d rather spend my time at home, or doing something else.”

The other thing about Mickey is that while she’s not necessarily likable on the surface, once she gets into it, she really does end up taking this job on.

It had to be fun, and it had to be exactly what I wanted it to be in order to sign on. And everyone’s really been so wonderful. It’s another little family that we’ve created.

Frequent illness cause for concern Dear Dr. Roach: I am a 71-year-old grandmother who is very concerned about the health of my 18-year-old granddaughter. She has had the following symptoms for the past seven years, at least: earache, headache, swollen glands, sore throat and cough.

I have accompanied her to many doctor visits, and talked to the doctors and the ear specialist about how often our granddaughter has had to miss school due to her symptoms. She has been out of school about once a month for years. In the beginning, she was prescribed antibiotics, which did not seem to help her much. She then was told to take ibuprofen, and that is basically what she does when these symptoms occur.

Two years ago, she had bloodwork done, and the doctor reported that her white blood cells were normal. I asked both the specialist and her doctor just last week if they have any idea why she continues to have these symptoms. The stock answer is that most children get sick from being in contact with students at school. I cannot, in good faith, accept these responses, but I do not know where to turn, particularly when she will be going off to college in September.

I write this with tears in my eyes due to sheer

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health frustration at not being able to do anything for her. Can you help, please? — A.M. Answer: The symptoms she has are very common and are not specific to any particular disease. However, the frequency with which she has had them is not.

While her doctors may be correct that this is just from being exposed to many different germs (both bacteria and viruses), I would be concerned about the possibility of common variable immunodeficiency. CVID should be considered in any child or adult with a history of recurrent bacterial infections, especially those involving the sinuses, lungs, ears or bronchi. The screening blood test is simple: an immunoglobulin level. IgG levels are always low in this condition, and IgA and IgM also might be affected.

There are other, rarer kinds of immune deficiencies with these symptoms. An immunologist is the expert in evaluating these conditions.

Dear Dr. Roach: My

Thursday, January 5, 2017

doctor tells me that I have valvular heart disease with “trace MR and trivial TI.” She doesn’t seem too worried about it. Could you explain?

Should I worry about it, and is there anything I can or should do? — B.R. Answer: There are four valves in the heart: the mitral and aortic valves on the left side, and the tricuspid and pulmonic valves on the right. Valves can fail to open completely, which we call “stenosis,” or they can allow blood to leak back the wrong way, which we call “regurgitation” or “insufficiency.” The degree of valvular disease usually is characterized as trivial, mild, moderate, severe or critical. “MR” in this context is “mitral regurgitation,” and “TI” is “tricuspid insufficiency.” Both of these indicate backward flow from the ventricles into the atria.

A small amount of regurgitation is very common. In a study from 1990, 58 percent of people over 50 had trivial or mild mitral regurgitation, and 74 percent had trivial or mild tricuspid insufficiency. This degree of valvular insufficiency rarely if ever causes any problem; there usually is nothing that needs to be done, and I don’t think you should worry about it.

Azubuikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surgery ruled a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;successâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kansas center Udoka Azubuike had surgery Wednesday to repair torn ligaments in his left wrist, and coach Bill Self said the big freshman should be able to resume playing by mid-summer.

Azubuike hurt the wrist during practice late last month. He had just begun to assume a bigger role with the thirdr a n ke d Jayhawks, giving them a big presence that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been lacking in the paint. He played 11 games, starting his last six, and averaged 5 points and 4.4 rebounds.

The Jayhawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; interior defense has suffered in the two weeks since heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been out.

The procedure on the 7-footer was performed

by Dr. Thomas Graham of Northwell Health at the Crystal Clinic Orthopaedic Center in Akron, Ohio. Self said doctors called it â&#x20AC;&#x153;a complete success.â&#x20AC;?

Kansas (13-1, 2-0 Big 12) plays Texas Tech on Saturday.

Royals trade for outfielder PHOENIX (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Arizona Diamondbacks have traded outfielder Peter Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien to the Kansas City Royals for minor league right-hander Sam Lewis.

The Diamondbacks announced the deal Tuesday.

Originally drafted as a catcher, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien converted to the outfield last season.

The 26-year-old hit .141 with five home runs and nine RBIs in 28 games with the Diamondbacks last season.

The 25-year-old Lewis went a combined 3-1 with a save and a 1.63 ERA with Single-A Lexington and Wilmington in 2016.

and nine assists, but also had eight turnovers against the Dodge City defense.

Quentin Blaue scored 17 points while hitting five three pointers.

Column: KU wins with controversial call Continued from B1

another hundred words.

But none of that matters. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change the past. KState canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change its mistakes, and nobody can change the nocall on Mykhailiukâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s travel.

After the game, in the sad and angry locker room, Weber told his team to move on. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done.

They play Oklahoma on Saturday. Sixteen games left after that, including one against Kansas in Manhattan and then the Big 12 tournament. Hopefully, the NCAA Tournament after that.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the right message. K-State did a lot well here. Past teams have lost before tipoff, but this one pushed back. K-State hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t scored this many points in Allen Fieldhouse since 1962.

This is a good team, and Weberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was the smart message.

But like the coach said, everybody knows what happened. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought a call was going to be made, but it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I gotta admit,â&#x20AC;? said Wesley Iwundu. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was a tough loss.â&#x20AC;?

The oldest joke in the Big 12 is about officiating at Allen Fieldhouse. Coaches sometimes say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to

Kansasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Svi Mykhailiuk elevates over Kansas Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dean Wade and hits the game-winner as time runs out at Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence on Tuesday. The host Jayhawks won, 90-88. Rich Sugg/Kansas City Star/TNS beat 16,300. Other times, they say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to beat eight.

If weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to focus on officiating, there were strange calls both ways. If the refs shouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve called a travel on Mykhailiuk, they also couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve called a reach-in on Iwundu.

One official watched KStateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Isaiah Maurice slap a dead ball away off the court, and told him, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I protected you on that one.â&#x20AC;? Another official heard Josh Jackson yell, â&#x20AC;&#x153;thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a foul,â&#x20AC;? and called a technical.

There are so many subplots here. K-State has to make the NCAA Tournament for Weber to keep his job, and a win here wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gone a long way. The Wildcats are now 12-2, in

good shape because they shoot and pass and move and play well together.

Wade tied a career high with 20 points, and if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gathered enough confidence to unlock his talent, K-State is a different team.

Kansas has the best backcourt in the country, and Jackson will be remembered as the best one-and-done freshman Kansas has had, but coach Bill Self is calling this the worst defensive team heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had.

Udoka Azubuikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s injury shrinks the ways KU can play. At the moment, they are outscoring their problems, but there is no way to know how long that can last.

But there is a bit of a cheap feeling when a game ends like that. Af-

Toub: K.C. coach draws interest Continued from B1

have been perfect for that job.â&#x20AC;?

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been ideal for the Chiefs, Reid said. This season, the Chiefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; special teams rank second in the NFL by a metric authored by footballoutsiders.com that takes into account the success of field goals/ extra points, kickoffs, kick returns, punts and punt returns.

The Chiefs have standouts in that phase â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tyreek Hill topped the NFL in punt-return average (15.2) and his 95-yard return against the Chargers on Sunday set a team record and was in the longest in the NFL this season.

Colquitt has been one of the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most consistent kickers throughout his 12-year career. Kicker Cairo Santos made a careerbest 88.6 percent of his field goals (31 of 35), including walk-off kicks at Carolina and Denver for the first time in his career.

There have been coverage standouts like D.J. Alexander and Daniel Sorensen, and remarkable plays like a fake punt that Albert Wilson carried 55 yards for a touchdown to help the Chiefs win at Atlanta.

Add it up, and special teams help explains how the Chiefs finished 12-4 and won the AFC West while being outgained through the air and on the ground this season.

Much of the credit goes to Toub, who is ready to become a head coach even though he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been a position coach since working with the Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defensive line from 2001-03. Before that, Toub served two seasons as Missouriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defensiveline coach and nearly a decade as the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strength and conditioning coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Special-teams coaches are a unique breed,â&#x20AC;?

Reid said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get enough credit for what they do and what they have to deal with.

They deal with the media, the offense, the defense, they deal with the whole gamut.â&#x20AC;?

Which means specialteams coaches deal with the entire roster and contend with successes and failures on a weekly basis, like a head coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They come out of a game, and not everythingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfect,â&#x20AC;? Reid said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dealing with the whole roster.

Within special teams thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an offense and a defense. ... I just think they are as close to anybody as ready to be a head coach.â&#x20AC;?

said he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spend much time thinking about becoming a head coach, but he has noticed more who oversee special teams are being mentioned for top jobs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that if it happens, it happens,â&#x20AC;?

Toub said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just like the fact that more and more special-teams coaches are being recognized as guys that could be head coaches. The awareness is getting better and I think someday somebody is going to pull the trigger on a guy.â&#x20AC;?

Perhaps the next Bill Belichick will be discovered. Before becoming a head coach with the Browns in 1991 and winning four Super Bowls with the Patriots, Belichick worked as a specialteams coach or assistant for four teams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You work with everybody, all the guys on the team,â&#x20AC;? Toub said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working situational football. It trains you to be a head coach in my opinion.â&#x20AC;?

terward, a reporter asked Mykhailiuk if he thought there was a chance he traveled.

Mykhailiuk smiled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know,â&#x20AC;? he said.

He paused. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just leave it there,â&#x20AC;? said senior Landen Lucas, laughing next to him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know,â&#x20AC;?

Mykhailiuk said again, smiling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a good basket.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;There you go,â&#x20AC;?

Lucas said, and they laughed again.

This was a rare game. K-State hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played this well in this building in a very long time, KU finished with a dog pile after Mykhailiukâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s buzzer beater, and neither team will feel particularly good about it.

Again, the officials did not decide the game. But they did decide when it ended.

The rematch should be fun, at least.
