Thrive assumes transportation program

By VICKIE MOSS The Iola Register

The stories shocked Thrive staff when they first began to study transportation in 2019: • About 20% of Allen County residents lack reliable transportation.

• Some residents wait two to three weeks between trips to the grocery store because they can’t find someone to take them.

• Cancer patients sometimes miss chemotherapy appointments and dialysis treatments.

• Many elderly residents spend much of their time at

home and alone, visited only by those who deliver groceries or Meals On Wheels.

• Workers lose their jobs because they don’t have reliable transportation.

“There is a desperate need for transportation in our communities,” Lisse Regehr, Thrive CEO, said.

Since then, Allen County’s transportation programs have evolved to provide more opportunities for new people.

This week, Thrive announced it would take over a general transportation program after county commissioners said they no longer planned to fund it because of budget con-

cerns.

That could lead to a brief delay in the program, but Thrive staff are excited about opportunities to eventually expand hours and create a model for other non-profit organizations in rural communities that struggle with transportation issues.

NOT LONG after Thrive first began to study transportation needs, staff created a “safety net” transportation program that would take residents to essential out-of-town appointments (within a 115See THRIVE | Page A4

TOPEKA — Several incumbent Kansas legislators are on their way out of the Statehouse after Tuesday’s election. Others are just barely hanging on.

Among those who missed the mark in their reelection effort is Rep. Aaron Coleman, a Kansas City Democrat, who lost in a three-way race in Wyandotte County.

Melissa Oropeza, a health care professional, finished first with 49% of the vote, followed by Faith Rivera with 38%.

Coleman came in third with just 13% of the vote.

Before his election in 2020, Coleman was accused of assaulting and threatening to kill an ex-girlfriend. He also admitted to cyberbullying and revenge porn while in middle school.

Police also allege that in October 2021, Coleman hit his brother and threatened his grandfather during an argument about religion. A judge signed off in March on a diversion that could see Coleman’s misdemeanor domestic battery charge dismissed.

“I hope this decision is the best for everyone,” Coleman tweeted in concession to Oropeza.

Another legislator voted out of their post after legal trouble in office was Re publican Rep. Mark Coleman Samsel, who fell to Carrie Barth by nearly 1,200 votes in Kansas’ 5th House District. Samsel was accused in spring 2021 of assaulting two students in a classroom while substitute teaching.

The Wellsville legislator has since Samsel p l e a d e d guilty to three lesser charges of misdemeanor disorderly conduct. He subsequently reported a diagnosis of bipolar disorder.

Rep. Suzi Carlson, R-Clay Center, finished third and trails leader Bill Bloom Carlson by 600 votes.

Changes mulled for budget package

By LAURA WEISS and LINDSEY MCPHERSON CQ-Roll Call

Democrats may need to make some changes to the tax portion of their budget reconciliation package to earn the support of Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, including possible removal of a tax increase on investment fund managers and softening a new minimum tax on the biggest corporations.

The bill could also undergo other tweaks as Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough continues her review of the bill. Changes to the prescription drug pricing provisions are already in the works, but many pieces of the package have yet to go through the formal “Byrd bath” to determine whether the language complies with budget rules.

Despite all the work still underway, several Democratic senators said they anticipated voting on the motion to proceed to the reconciliation package as soon as Thursday and beginning the “vote-a-rama” process, in which senators can offer unlimited amendments to the measure, as soon as this weekend.

“As soon as possible, but don’t count on going home on the weekend,” Michigan Sen. Debbie Stabenow, a member of Democratic leadership, said. “We’re probably going to be here all weekend, so get lots of sleep.”

It’s unclear if Sinema’s demands might change the anticipated schedule, as it’s unlikely she would vote to proceed without some assurances the bill will be tweaked to her liking.

Politico reported that Sinema wants to get rid of a provision that would lengthen the holding period for carried interest — or investment fund managers’ share of their clients’ capital gains — required to benefit from more generous tax treatment. The provision would raise an es-

also back the minimum tax proposal.

Sen. Joe Manchin III, D-W.Va., who negotiated the final details of the bill with Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., has similarly defended the bill’s tax increases as more about ending tax avoidance and “loopholes” than actually raising taxes. Manchin said Wednesday afternoon that he had not heard about either of Sinema’s tax demands.

“Nobody’s talked to me about that,” he said.

As senators contend with Sinema’s demands, they also have to listen to guidance from the parliamentarian about what provisions may not comply with the budget reconciliation restrictions.

The Byrd rule requires provisions included in reconciliation to have more than a “merely incidental” impact on spending or revenues.

“We will be bringing Byrd objections to many pieces of the various objectionable portions,” Senate Finance ranking member Michael D. Crapo, R-Idaho, said at a press conference Wednesday.

Crapo said the Finance Committee has not yet gone through the “Byrd bath,” in which both parties present arguments on whether different portions of the bill should

Sinema’s office declined to confirm the report, which also said the Arizona Democrat is seeking to add roughly $5 billion in drought resilience funding given her state’s water supply issues.

Separately, CNN reported that Sinema has sent signals to the business community that she may want to pare back a 15 percent corporate minimum tax on businesses that report $1 billion or more in income to shareholders.

Sinema asked business groups during a call Tuesday if the minimum tax was “written in a way that’s bad,” Arizona Chamber of Commerce President Danny Seiden told CNN. Seiden, who voiced the chamber’s opposition to the minimum tax and concerns it would particularly hurt manufacturers who take advantage of accelerated depreciation write-offs, said the call with Sinema gave him “hope that she’s willing to open this up and maybe make it better.”

Senate Finance Chair Ron Wyden declined to comment on the status of the carried interest provision but acknowledged the potential for changes when asked about the corporate minimum tax.

“We’re talking to senators because that’s what you do when you’re in the homestretch,” the Oregon Democrat said. “I’m not gonna say anything more about the details and

what different senators are interested in and the like. There’s 50 senators and lots of questions.”

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, one of the chief architects of the minimum tax, said the tax is about making sure giant corporations that currently pay little to nothing in taxes start contributing.

“Some of the strongest supporters of the corporate minimum tax are the small businesses that can’t take advantage of all of the loopholes and carveouts and twists and turns that the giants can take advantage of, and that puts those small businesses at competitive disadvantage,” she said. “The corporate minimum tax helps level the playing field, and it’s important to defend it.”

Major retailers, which enjoy fewer existing tax benefits than some other industries,

The Finance Committee did go through the Byrd bath two weeks ago on prescription drug pricing provisions, but Democrats decided to change some of the language after that, and Republicans have not yet been given a time when they’ll return before the parliamentarian to review the new language, Crapo said.

The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee portion of the bill, which the Congressional Budget Office said would cost a net $35.5 billion over a decade, went through the Byrd bath Wednesday.

GOP panel member Kevin Cramer of North Dakota said he’s “not overly optimistic” about his party’s chances of knocking out the EPW provisions focused on reducing methane emissions “because it is a fee and it is revenue.”

The measure also includes $1.55 billion to help producers comply with the new methane reduction program after negotiations with Manchin — doubling the previous version — including $700 million specifically for operators of older oil and gas wells nearing the end of their useful lives.

Congresswoman China conducts missile drills in Taiwan Strait killed in crash WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican U.S. Rep. Jackie Walorski was killed Wednesday in a car crash in her northern Indiana district along with two members of her congressional staff and another person, police said.

Police said the SUV in which Walorski was riding crossed a state highway’s centerline and crashed head-on with another vehicle.

Walorski, who served on the House Ways and Means Committee, was first elected to represent Indiana’s 2nd Congressional District in 2012.

She previously served six years in the state’s Legislature.

“She has returned home to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Please keep her family in your thoughts and prayers,” Walorski’s chief of staff Tim Cummings said in a statement.

Walorski and her husband, Dean Swihart, were previously Christian missionaries in Romania, where they established a foundation that provided food and medical supplies to impoverished children.

She worked as a television news reporter in South Bend before turning to politics.

Also killed in the crash were Zachery Potts, 27, of Mishawaka, Indiana; Emma Thomson, 28, of Washington, D.C.; and Edith Schmucker, 56, of Nappanee, Indiana, according to the sheriff ’s office.

Cummings confirmed that Potts and Thomson were members of Walorski’s congressional staff. Thomson was Walorski’s communications director, while Potts was her district director and the Republican chairman for northern Indiana’s St. Joseph County.

Police on Thursday changed their description of the crash, that it was the SUV in which Walorski was riding crossed the centerline, not the other car.

The department’s initial account of the crash was that the car driven

by Schmucker crossed into the SUV’s path, but the office released a statement Thursday saying investigators had talked with witnesses and viewed video evidence that their preliminary determination of which direction the vehicles were traveling was incorrect.

Walorski was seeking re-election this year to a sixth term in the solidly Republican district.

Jackie Walorski TNS She was active on agriculture and food policy in Congress, often working across the aisle on those issues. A cochair of the House Hunger Caucus, she introduced legislation with Democrats to bring back a Nixon-era White House event on food insecurity.

President Joe Biden pointed to that work in a statement crediting Walorski for years of public service.

“We may have represented different parties and disagreed on many issues, but she was respected by members of both parties for her work,” Biden said. “My team and I appreciated her partnership as we plan for a historic White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health this fall that will be marked by her deep care for the needs of rural America.”

Indiana Republican U.S. Sen. Todd Young said he was devastated

by Walorski’s death.

“Jackie loved Hoosiers and devoted her life to fighting for them,” Young said in a statement. “I’ll never forget her spirit, her positive attitude, and most importantly her friendship. All of Indiana mourns her passing, along with the tragic deaths of her staff Emma Thomson and Zach Potts.”

Walorski was a reliable Republican vote in Congress, including against accepting the Arizona and Pennsylvania electoral votes for Biden following the Capitol insurrection.

As a member of the Indiana House, Walorski pushed anti-abortion legislation and opposed gambling expansion proposals. She became a favorite of the conservative tea party movement.

Walorski lost a close 2010 congressional race to Democrat Joe Donnelly before narrowly winning the seat in 2012 as Donnelly made a successful run for the Senate.

KEELUNG, Taiwan (AP) — China conducted “precision missile strikes” Thursday in waters off Taiwan’s coasts as part of military exercises that have raised tensions in the region to their highest level in decades following a visit by U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

China earlier announced that military exercises by its navy, air force and other departments were underway in six zones surrounding Taiwan, which Beijing claims as its own territory to be annexed by force if necessary.

Five of the missiles fired by China landed in Japan’s Exclusive Economic Zone off Hateruma, an island far south of Japan’s main islands, Japanese Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi said.

He said Japan protested the missile landings to China as “serious threats to Japan’s national security and the safety of the Japanese people.”

Japan’s Defense Ministry also speculated that four missiles flew over Taipei, the capital city, crossing the mainland, according to a statement its embassy in D.C. posted on Twitter. Taiwan’s Defense Ministry did not deny the claim, saying that the flight path was “outside the atmosphere and is not harmful to the vast area on the ground it flies over.”

The drills were prompted by a visit to Taiwan this week by Pelosi and are intended to advertise China’s threat to attack the self-governing island republic. Along with its moves to isolate Taiwan diplomatically, China has long threatened military retaliation over moves by the island to solidify its de facto independence with the support of key allies including the U.S. China fired longrange explosive projectiles, the Eastern Theater Command of the People’s Liberation Army, the ruling Communist Party’s military wing, said in a statement. It also said it carried out multiple conventional missile launches in three different areas in the eastern waters off Taiwan. An accompanying graphic on state broadcaster CCTV showed those occurred in the north, east, and south.

“All missiles hit the

target accurately,” the Eastern Theater said in its announcement. No further details were given.

Taiwan’s Defense Ministry said it tracked the firing of Chinese Dongfeng series missiles beginning around 1:56 p.m. Thursday. It said in a statement it used various early warning surveillance systems to track the missile launches. It later said it counted 11 Dongfeng missiles in the waters in the north, east and south.

The ministry also said it tracked long-distance rockets and ammunition firing in outlying islands in Matsu, Wuqiu and Dongyin.

Taiwanese President

Tsai Ing-wen criticized the drills in a public video address, saying China “destroyed the status quo and violated our sovereignty” with its “irresponsible actions.” She urged China to be “reasonable and restrained.”

“We are calm and not impulsive, we are reasonable and not provocative,” she said. “But we will also be firm and not back down.”

Tsai said Taiwan is in communication with its allies to ensure that things do not escalate further.

Taiwan’s Defense Ministry said its forces are on alert and monitoring the situation, while seeking to avoid escalating tensions. Civ-

il defense drills were held last week and notices were placed on designated air raid shelters months ago.

China’s “irrational behavior” intends to alter the status quo and disrupt regional peace and stability, the ministry said.

“The three service branches will combine efforts with all the people to jointly safeguard national security and territorial integrity” while adapting to the situation as it develops, the statement said.

China’s official Xinhua News Agency reported the exercises were joint operations focused on “blockade, sea target assault, strike on ground targets, and airspace control.”

Ma Chen-kun, a professor at Taiwan’s National Defense University, said the drills were aimed at showing off the Chinese military’s ability to deploy precision weapons to cut off Taiwan’s links with the outside and facilitate the landing of troops.

The announced drills are “more complete” than previous exercises, he said.

“If the People’s Liberation Army actually invades Taiwan in an all-out invasion, the concrete actions it will take, it’s all in this particular exercise,” Ma said.

“The main thing is they will cut off Taiwan’s links to the outside world, from their sea, they would suppress the coastal defense firepower,” he said.

Meanwhile, the mood in Taiwan was calm.

Narrow gap triggers audit in state treasurer’s race

By NOAH TABORDA Kansas Reflector

TOPEKA — A narrow margin in the race for the Republican nomination for state treasurer triggered a new provision in state law requiring counties to conduct additional audits in especially close contests.

As of mid-afternoon Wednesday, Steven Johnson held a slim 771-

vote lead over opponent Caryn Tyson. The race has not been called with mail-in ballots postmarked by Tuesday and received by Friday still to be tallied, along with provisional ballots.

Then, a recently passed state law requires all 105 counties to audit an additional 10% of their precincts because the race was decided by less than 1%

on election night. This special audit requires a hand count that will take place later this week, said state elections director Brian Caskey.

“Every county will have to convene a hand count board and count all of those precincts by hand and compare them with the machine total that verifies that everything worked correctly,”

Caskey told reporters Wednesday.

Caskey said this additional audit will mean different things for different size counties.

While rural counties may be asked to audit just one or two additional precincts, Johnson County will need to audit approximately 60 more.

The regular post-election audit requires each

Thrive: Takes over transportation project Continued from A1

mile radius), such as to see doctors or for medical procedures, or to go to hearings for court or similar activities.

The program is funded by numerous grants and donations.

It’s become such a popular program that all three drivers are booked for at least a month ahead.

Then, Thrive worked with Allen County commissioners to set up a general public transportation program that began in 2021. The county already had a similar program for those age 55 and older.

The new program provided free rides to anyone to go anywhere in Allen County. A study found most used it to go to doctor appointments and the store.

It didn’t take long before the program hit a snag.

A $34,000 grant from the Kansas Department of Transportation was expected to pay for most of the costs, including a new van that was expected to take $20,000 of the grant money. But the COVID-19 pandemic led to supply chain issues, and the van was put on back-order for up to two years.

Because the county didn’t have the van, KDOT initially delayed funding. The county had to take on additional costs, which didn’t sit well with commissioners.

Even now, it’s not known when the van might have arrived.

In what was supposed to be a Band-Aid solution, the Allen County Regional Hospital donated a used van to Thrive. That van needed some repairs, but KDOT approved its use for the general transportation program in lieu of the grant-funded vehicle.

Commissioners supported Thrive’s plan on a trial basis. But once it started to cost more money than expected, they started to express concerns.

And once they delved into the 2023 budget in recent weeks, their reservations about in-

Lisse Regehr, Thrive Allen County REGISTER FILE PHOTO creased costs resulted in cutting funding for the general transportation program. The county will continue its transportation program for the elderly, which is a separate endeavor.

INSTEAD of letting the general transportation program die, Thrive decided to take it over.

Thrive is forming a new non-profit agency, Allen Regional Transportation (ART).

A board has been appointed, and Thrive staff have been meeting with representatives from KDOT to learn about regulations and legal requirements.

They’re also talking to various funding sources.

“There are a lot of moving pieces,” Thompson noted.

Regehr added: “This is one of the first programs Thrive is incubating in-house and we are taking care to make sure it’s ready to fly once we have everything in place.”

She asked for the public’s patience during the transition, and said the general transportation program may not be available for a month or so.

The “safety net” program that provides out-of-town rides will continue, though, along with the county’s program for the elderly.

Once the general transportation program returns, it is expected to be led by a director and about four drivers.

Regehr and Thompson hope to eventually have a fleet of vehicles, from buses to vans to smaller cars, including vehicles that are economical, hybrid or wheelchair-accessible.

They also want to expand hours. Under the county, the program was available only during business hours, Monday through Friday.

Thrive staff hope to eventually extend hours to cover late-shift workers. At one point, a handful of local industries were willing to invest in the program in hopes of providing reliable transportation to workers.

Regehr wants to provide rides at no charge, but acknowledged that may not be possible. They may have to charge a small fee or ask for donations.

“On a county level, the transportation program is about the health and safety of our community,” Regehr said.

She also pointed out that public transportation also drives economic development, as studies show every $1 invested in public transportation results in about $5 spent at local businesses.

It’s a way to encourage people to shop locally, especially during a time when online ordering and delivery services are becoming more popular. Public transportation is sort of the reverse, she said.

Instead of delivering goods to your door, they’ll deliver you to the

store.

“It’s a way to funnel money back into the community,” Regehr said.

She and Thompson view public transportation along the lines of a utility service.

“Most transportation services are run by public entities, and it’s very rare for one to be operated by a private, non-profit group.”

They noted current commissioners as well as former Commissioner Bill King, and County Clerk Sherrie Riebel invested a great deal of time and expertise into making the program work.

“We’re grateful the county is still willing to work with us instead of just shutting down the program,” she said.

Thompson said, “We appreciate that they see the value even if they can’t provide the service.”

county to audit a statewide race, as well as a legislative and county race. Counties will also be asked to audit the constitutional amendment vote, Caskey said.

The state board of canvassers must certify race results for federal and state offices no later than Sept. 1.

Johnson, a state representative, and Tyson, a state senator, entered the GOP campaign for state treasurer with similar backgrounds.

He is a farmer from Assaria and she is a farmer from Parker. Both have served since 2011 in the Legislature, playing important roles in crafting state tax policy.

At one point as results were being reported Tuesday night, the gap was about 20 votes.

The eventual winner will face Democratic state Treasurer Lynn Rogers in the general election.

Caskey also addressed reports in Sedgwick and Johnson counties of understaffed polling places. He said there were reports of an abnormal amount of people calling in sick the morning of election day.

Unlike the November general election,

Caryn Tyson August often presents challenges, such as vacations or preparations for school, that make finding a pool of backup volunteers more difficult, Caskey said.

In November, I think both counties are going to work on creating a bigger pool of backup poll workers than they normally would,” Caskey said.

GOP’s soul is at stake Cheney and Kinzinger deserve our support

By ZACHARY CLARY The Chicago Tribune

On July 14, 1964, New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller approached the rostrum of the Cow Palace in San Francisco. With a defiant smile on his face, he warned the assembled delegates of the Republican National Convention “that the Republican Party (was) in real danger of subversion by a radical, well-financed, highly disciplined” ultraconservative minority. In what is now considered one of his finest moments, the governor and future vice president of the United States, whose address was interrupted by boos, taunts and jeers from members of his own party, mounted his “last stand” against Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona.

The next day, Pennsylvania Gov. William “Bill” Scranton refused to remove himself from consideration for the presidential nomination and visibly challenged Goldwater from the convention floor. Scranton, who knew that he had little to no chance of cinching the nomination, sacrificed himself in defense of his principles. As journalist Theodore H. White reported in “The Making of the President 1964,” “The Scranton exercise was either folly — or absolute gallantry.” It was both.

THESE TWO MEN, both of whom were young, popular and well positioned for future political office, knew that a direct challenge to Goldwater or his anti-statist platform at the Republican convention would almost certainly fail. Nevertheless, when the moment came and the eyes of the world were on them, they held their ground to the bitter end.

Rockefeller denounced extremism, “whether Communist, Ku Klux Klan or Bircher.” And Scranton lobbied to move as many delegates from Goldwater’s camp to his, only acquiescing when Goldwater surpassed the threshold necessary for nomination.

U.S. Reps. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., and Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., are facing a similar, albeit much graver, challenge today as members

ing revelations, however, Cheney and Kinzinger are being punished by Republican voters and GOP leadership for participating in the Jan. 6 investigation.

Kinzinger, an Air Force veteran, six-term congressman and devoted family man, routinely receives death threats from Trump supporters. Furthermore, Cheney, the daughter of former Republican Vice President Dick Cheney, is facing a tough primary challenge in Wyoming. Recent polling suggests that she will be handily defeated on Aug. 16

by Harriet Hageman, whom Trump and McCarthy endorsed.

In 1964, Rockefeller and Scranton, both of whom enjoyed stable bases of support within their party, resisted a highly principled and ideologically coherent candidate whose views were not consistent with the mission of the GOP. Cheney and Kinzinger are waging the same war in the Republican Party; however, their adversary is opportunistic, self-serving and disinterDESPITE THESE simi- ested in legality.

Cheney and Kinzinger who attended his rally were armed and attempted to deserve to be part of that travel with his devotees to effort.

Despite these damn- ry. of the House committee probing the Jan. 6 attack.

Breaking with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., Cheney and Kinzinger passionately denounced the Jan. 6 insurrection, as well as President Donald Trump’s actions preceding the violence at the Capitol. For this dedication, they were stripped of their leadership positions by their own party, censured by the Republican National Committee, threatened by their constituents and pressured into early retirement.

When forced to choose between political expediency and ethicality, however, Cheney and Kinzinger opted to fight — for the soul of the Republican Party, for the tenets of American democracy and, most importantly, for the American people. As Kinzinger said in his statement announcing his decision not to seek reelection in 2022, “Leading a movement to save the republic is more important to me than winning a seat or title for myself.”

Setting their sights on next level Griner gets 9-year sentence

By QUINN BURKITT The Iola Register

Iola golfers Titus Jones and Xander Sellman competed at the Wichita Junior Tour this summer.

Both golfers have been competing for Iola High School for two seasons and will return this fall as juniors. The duo’s performances at the Wichita Public Golf Course qualified them for competition at the City Junior Championships at the Sim Park Golf Course last weekend.

“This summer they got what they wanted out of it,” said IHS golf coach Jeremy Sellman. “They all had some success, had fun, made some new friends, got to play some courses and they’re always in really good shape.

One of the Wichita courses is short, one has got a lot of trees, one is miles long and another is miles long with a rough that’s really thick.

You get all of it.”

While Xander Sellman finished second in the championship heap by a lone stroke, Jones finished in fourth place after rebounding from some early challenges. Jones struggled early on at the 18hole course to square up his tee, hitting the ball off the fairway a few times.

“Coach helped me with my swing two weeks before regionals in the spring,” said Jones of his swing. “I was just in a bad mindset for two holes and I was swinging too hard. So I just dialed it down a little bit and started hitting the ball straighter.”

Xander Sellman relied on his experience to prevail.

Even through the torturous heat. He hammered a pair of pars on the final two holes

for the impressive secondplace finish.

“They take the top four kids for the championship.

It’s really about keeping that competitive level of golf up. You’ve got to stay tuned in and that’s really what this was about,” explained Coach Sellman of what the summer tours mean.

Coach Sellman said the boys’ performances in Wichita have improved their mental attitudes and the ability to see a course more clearly.

“The fast greens and tight lines improved their ball striking by leaps and bounds.”

A past showing at a summer camp at the University of Kansas in Lawrence also helped prepare the Iola golfers for the Wichita Junior Tour. The KU camp included high school golfers from all

over the state who play golf year round into the summer months. Sellman said the extra work is for the kids who really look at taking their game to the next level.

After the KU camp, Ciacg Sellman said the boys “came back completely different kids. They learned a ton by working with Division I coaches. That Division I experience is pretty hard to get living in a small rural community, but it’s not impossible.”

The Iola High School golf team holds its home meets at the Allen County Country Club which is where both Jones and Xander Sellman have been practicing all summer in preparation for their tours. Coach Sellman hopes to have even more

kids come out for the high school team this upcoming school year.

“Middle school, my first year I had nine. It was perfect. Second year, COVID year, I had 19 and then in the third year I had 21 and I’m like ‘this is crazy.’

“Then at the high school level, I don’t know where they go. I’m hoping to retain a bunch for next year. I’m looking to have 11 to 15 come out,” Coach Sellman said.

Jeremy Sellman said he is prepared to take his athletes as far as they want to go.

“Competitive golf helps them think their way around the course. It prepares them for the next level. If they have their sights on the college level, I tell them I can get them there.”

KHIMKI, Russia (AP) — U.S. basketball star Brittney Griner was convicted Thursday in Russia of drug possession and smuggling and was sentenced to nine years in prison in a politically charged case that could lead to a high-stakes prisoner exchange between Washington and Moscow.

The 31-year-old Griner, a two-time U.S. Olympic champion and a eight-time all-star with the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury, listened with a blank expression as an interpreter translated the verdict by Judge Anna Sotnikova. Griner also was fined 1 million rubles (about $16,700).

U.S. President Joe Biden denounced as “unacceptable” the verdict and sentence, which came amid soaring tensions between the U.S. and Russia over Ukraine.

“I call on Russia to release her immediately so she can be with her wife, loved ones, friends, and teammates,” Biden said, adding that he would continue to work to bring home Griner and Paul Whelan, an American imprisoned in Russia on an espionage conviction.

Chiefs’ Travis Kelce aims to finish career in Kansas City

By DAVE SKRETTA The Associated Press

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — Andy Reid will always have a special fondness for Travis Kelce, one of the first players that the Kansas City Chiefs drafted after the coach took over a downtrodden franchise following his own frustrating finish in Philadelphia.

Reid had drafted his older brother, Jason, to play center for the Eagles, and through that process got to know the entire Kelce family. So when then-Chiefs general manager John Dorsey floated the idea of taking Travis in the third round of the 2013 draft, despite some off-the-field issues at Cincinnati, Reid had a pretty good idea of what to expect.

“He was a little wilder than his brother,” Reid said with a smile. “I knew that.”

The past nine seasons have been — well, a little wild.

There’s been the highs of four consecutive AFC championship games and back-to-back Super Bowl appearances, including the first championship for the

And there’s also been the lows of bitterly close playoff losses, injuries and COVID-19, and more than one

very public spats with players, referees and even Big Red himself.

Now that Kelce is one of the league’s elder statesmen, though, and the longest-tenured member of the Chiefs, it is only natural to begin won-

dering how long the tight end will continue to perform at the highest level of the game.

And whether he will do something increasingly rare in the NFL: play his entire career with one franchise.

“I don’t plan on playing

anywhere else. Hope the Chiefs have that in mind, too,” said Kelce, who is signed through the 2025 season, at which point only six other players would have played more seasons with the club than him.

“I love being here. I’ve done everything I can to do things the right way. I’m going to continue to do that, and they know what kind of player they’re going to get.”

One that continues to defy age.

Even though Kelce turns 33 in October, he is coming off one of the best seasons of his career, catching 92 passes for 1,125 yards and nine touchdowns. It was his fourth straight year of at least 90 catches, his sixth with at least 1,000 yards, and his touchdown total was just two off his career best set during the 2020 season.

In fact, the argument could be made that Kelce has been getting better with age.

“It’s crazy,” Chiefs general manager Brett Veach said, “because he’s played, you See KELCE | Page B6

What do you think about the shifting nature of the relationship between your character, Jenny, and her husband Jackie on “City on a Hill”?

In Season 2, I think they came to a slightly more stable – and, dare I say, a more respectful and loving – stage in their relationship. Now, in Season 3, another wrench thrown into their marriage dynamic that they have to struggle through.

AUGUST 7

9:30 10:00 10:30 11:00

Also, they have a daughter going away to college, and that’s another stage they’re going through. That’s the easy part, though. Some other things that come up are completely devastating, viscerally disturbing themes that we’ve explored on the show. They’re sort of showcased this season. Every time I’ve picked up a script, I’ve sort of been shocked. Which is great.

How did you master the Boston accent that the series requires of you?

I tried to look up videos of people from that area of Boston at that time (the early 1990s). I used to date a guy from Boston, and his accent was different than someone from Quincy (Mass.). I’ve been looking at these videos for four or five years now, just to refresh and remind myself, and also to look for new material.

I also just talk to people, especially if I know they’re from the North End. I’ll just engage them in conversation. Every actor wants to do a good job, and it’s appreciated when it’s acknowledged that you’re doing it right.

Though your alter ego Claire Kincaid apparently died, have there been any conversations about your appearing on the revived “Law & Order” in some form?

Well, maybe they thought she was dead, but she’s actually been in a rehab center for some time! Why can’t she be bartending somewhere near where Jack McCoy is still working? I would buy that. I’ve tried to pitch that idea, but ... nothing yet.

Torn between lifestyle and moving near family Adapted from an online discussion.

Dear Carolyn: I have a job I love, but it’s unfortunately way, away from all my family. My parents are getting older and my sibling and family are close to them. It’s actually been killing me a bit to be so far in the midst of all this chaos.

At the same time, I’ve built a pretty good life here and it would be a massive change.

The jobs I’m looking at are good, interesting, but just … not quite the same. I’m also single, and it takes a little while to build friends, so a big change would be a big change.

It feels like a whiny problem to have, but I’m trying to get to a point when I’m not secondguessing myself all the time. Any suggestions?

— Upheaval Upheaval: What is

Carolyn Hax Tell Me About It “whiny” about missing your family but also not wanting to uproot a happy, well-established life?

Doesn’t your situation get at the reasons life is worth living?

So, sure, you can say you have an embarrassment of riches, with a good job and root system and also tight bonds with your family. But even then, your circumstances are such that committing yourself fully to one costs you dearly with the other.

I wish I could offer you a better answer than just restating your problem, but I think we all know I’m in no position to tell you “stay” or “go.”

All I can do is urge you to stop the self-flagellation. You’re facing something hard, and you’re not likely to come up with any decision that checks all the boxes you want it to.

Taking yourself seriously at least is a way to get at what you really want here. You haven’t jumped on any of the jobs you’ve found near your parents, so, okay — that’s telling you something. You don’t want to go. Or, other version, you haven’t yet come across or created the circumstances that would move you to uproot. That’s an answer in itself.

And, likewise, you’re still looking (right?), which is also an answer: You haven’t met the terms required for leaving, but you’re still open to the possibility that certain terms would be good enough to move for.

And so on. Instead of

Drug test order rankles patient DEAR DR. ROACH:

For sleep, my boyfriend (78) takes Ambien when he needs it, a few times each week. The instructions on the bottle says “take as needed.” To me, that means if he doesn’t need it, he doesn’t take it. That’s simple logic.

His doctor occasionally will order a urine drug screen looking for metabolites of Ambien — something about their office policy, which I do not quite understand. Recently, the screen showed no presence of the drug, and the doctor was bothered by this. He admonished my boyfriend for not taking the medication, which I found odd. I’m not sure if that precipitated the next thing: The insurance company denied the claim (for the drug test), indicating it had not been preauthorized.

Now he is faced with a $138 bill for a drug test he did not need. Would

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health

you care to comment? — D.U. ANSWER: I don’t understand your boyfriend’s doctor’s decision. You are quite right that “as needed” means he takes it only when he needs it. In fact, for zolpidem (Ambien) in particular, the less often my patients need it, the happier I am. Ambien increases risk of both falling and motor vehicle accidents. Checking a level for Ambien in this context makes no sense.

The only circumstance I can think of is checking in a person who is addicted to it by an addiction specialist looking for surreptitious use.

There are some times that checking a drug

level does make sense.

In a person on long-term opiate treatment, for example, some physicians will periodically make sure they are taking the medication and not “diverting” it — a term meaning rather than using it, they are selling it or trading it for other drugs. Testing only makes sense if a person needs, and is supposed to be taking, medication continuously.

I fear that blaming “office policy” is either laziness or an attempt to deflect responsibility.

Your boyfriend would be right to contest the bill, which was medically unnecessary. I’d even recommend he consider a different doctor.

Make the switch today!

the Big Decision, you are making small decisions, to the best of your ability. That’s fine. Really.

And you can even make the small decision to suspend your job search temporarily to give yourself a mental break from it. Six months, say, no searching. Answers can come to you during that break, too.

You can also look into ways to be more present for your parents without uprooting completely — frequent visits, or remote work that allows you to stay in your current city but work from your parents’ area for spells, or a temporary relocation for school or training, or planning with them and your sibling to be involved from afar, etc. Obviously this depends on the type of work you do, but if it’s not compatible, then maybe that’s a more appealing way to make a change than geographic.

Short answer, to prove I know what one is: Take enough pressure off yourself to give your mind room to think.

Griner: Sentenced to 9 years in prison Continued from B1

outcome “a miscarriage of justice.”

Griner, recognized as one of the greatest players in WNBA history, has been detained since Feb. 17 after police said they found vape cartridges containing cannabis oil in her luggage upon landing at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport. She was returning to Russia, where she has competed since 2014.

As she was led out of court, Griner said: “I love my family.”

The nine-year sentence was close to the maximum of 10 years that Griner had faced under the charges.

Most Russians possessing small quantities of drugs get at most five years in prison, lawyers said.

Defense attorney Maria Blagovolina told reporters later that Griner was “very upset, very stressed. She can hardly talk. It’s a difficult time for her.”

Before the unusually swift verdict was reached, an emotional Griner apologized to her family, teammates and the Russian city of Yekaterinburg, where she plays in the WNBA offseason, “for my mistake that I made and the embarrassment that I brought on them.”

With her voice cracking, she added: “I hope in your ruling it does not end my life.”

Under Russian law, Griner has 10 days to appeal, and her lawyers say they expect a hear-

Asked if Griner could ask for pardon from President Vladimir Putin, Blagovolina said they would consider every possibility, but the lawyers said they were not part of any discussions about a prisoner swap.

Griner’s agent Lindsay Kagawa Colas tweeted that the sentence “was severe

by Russian legal standards and goes to prove what we have known all along, that Brittney is being used as a political pawn.” She added that she supported the Biden administration’s efforts “to get a deal done.”

A conviction is usually a prerequisite to arranging a prisoner exchange and also allows Griner to apply for a presidential pardon. Deputy Foreign

Minister Sergei Ryabkov said last month that the “necessary judicial procedures” must be completed before any other steps can be taken.

The disclosure in July that the U.S. government was seeking a prisoner swap involving Griner reflected the growing pressure on the Biden administration to do more to bring her home. The U.S. State Department had earlier declared Griner to be “wrongfully detained” — a charge that Russia has sharply rejected.

When she took the stand July 7, Griner said: “I would like to plead guilty on the charges against me.

But I had no intention of breaking any Russian law.” She added that she brought the vape canisters into

Russia because she had packed in haste for her flight.

Griner also described a confusing scene while being held at the airport, saying an interpreter provided by authorities translated only a fraction of what was being said to her and that officials told her to sign documents without explaining what they were. She also said she was not informed of her rights.

Her lawyers introduced evidence that Griner was using the medicinal cannabis for chronic pain and injuries sustained during her career and included a letter from her doctor. Griner testified she was aware cannabis oil was outlawed in Russia and had not intended to break the law or “plan to smuggle anything into Russia.”

Kelce: KC Chiefs know, for a little bit now, and he’s already accomplished so much.

But every year he comes into camp in great form, and he’s one of those kinds of outliers that defies the odds. He kind of shows up and doesn’t look like he’s missed a beat. He’s still out there doing his thing.”

Kelce was once the new kid in the locker room with the attitude to match, and his competitive nature often got the better of him. There was the time he tossed a towel at an official after a no-call against Jacksonville, and his public criticism of Reid’s play-calling after a loss to Tennessee.

And when the Chiefs lost to Pittsburgh in the playoffs, Kelce said referee Carl Cheffers “shouldn’t be able to wear a zebra jersey ever again. He shouldn’t be able to wear it at Foot Locker.”

These days, a much more mature Kelce has become like a coach on the field. On consecutive plays during 11-on11 drills Wednesday, he first offered advice to wide receiver Justin Watson, then did the same to running back Ronald Jones II. Hard to believe it’s the same wild child the Chiefs drafted nearly a decade ago.

“We’ve had our little conflicts,” Reid admitted, “but he’s a great kid. He’s got a great heart. He’s always had that.”

That’s demonstrat-

ed by his work with his own Eighty-Seven & Running foundation, which helps underserved youth in the community, and Operation Breakthrough, a nonprofit that provides a safe environment for children in poverty.

It’s also evident in the extra time Kelce spends signing autographs and taking photographs with fans after practice.

“He’s still, in our opinion, the best tight end in the game,” Veach said. “And you know, if there’s one guy that can defy the odds of time and, you know, finish his career — start in one place and finish in the same spot — it’s Tavis Kelce. He shows no signs of slowing down.

And that’s something exciting for us and our fans, for sure.”

Notes: The Chiefs moved their workout indoors Wednesday because of storms that rolled through northwest Missouri. ... Rookie WR Skyy Moore (quad) practiced in a full capacity, though he did botch a punt return catch and dropped an open pass during team drills. ... Most of the work Wednesday had to do with scoring in the red zone. “It was great competition all the way around,” Reid said. ...

DE Carlos Dunlap is expected to practice for the first time Thursday.

The two-time Pro Bowl selection signed a contract last week worth up to $8 million for the 2022 season.
