MAKING WAY FOR CHANGE

More store investors pursued

By BOB JOHNSON The Iola Register

Troy Spencer, left, a local contractor, pulls hinges and other metal scraps from the interior of Kay Croghan’s old antiques store along U.S. 54 in Gas this morning. Spencer is removing any salvageable pieces from the store so crews can begin — either today or Wednesday — demolishing the building to make way for a new Dollar General Store. Crews from Copeland Construction will handle the demolition portion. A large excavator and other heavy machinery were parked at the site Monday for use for site prep. Dollar General will be at the intersection of U.S. 54 and Taylor Street. REGISTER/RICHARD LUKEN

Grieving mayor faces ‘new normal’ Loses son to drug overdose

By JONATHAN MATTISE The Associated Press

Ian McCarthy, 39, of Clinton, Mo., is considered a personof-interest in the fatal shooting of Clinton, Mo., police officer Gary Michael. MISSOURI

Suspect sought in cop killing

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A knock on the door woke Nashville Mayor Megan Barry and her husband Bruce out of a sound sleep about 3 a.m. When the mayor saw police at her door, she knew it must be bad news — maybe an officer was shot, and she was needed at the hospital to comfort a grieving family.

Instead, what the officer revealed just wouldn’t register: Her 22-year-old son Max was dead.

“He had to repeat it several times, because that was

not what my brain could hear,” Barry said, her voice cracking, during a news conference MonMegan Barry day.

Barry returned to work Monday for the first time since her son died of an apparent drug overdose July 29.

It marked the start of a “new normal” for the grieving mayor — she won’t ever hear his voice or get his text messages again.

But even as she mourns her only child, Barry also knows she can be an important voice in drug abuse awareness and the opioid epidemic.

Max Barry’s death comes

amid nationwide concern about a rise in fatal drug overdoses.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse reports overdose deaths from all drugs that the government tracks rose from roughly 23,000 in 2002 to more than 50,000 in 2015.

In Tennessee, state health officials report 1,451 people died from drug overdoses in 2015 — the highest annual number of overdose deaths recorded in state history.

The mayor kept her composure as she went through the day’s duties Monday.

In an elementary school classroom she smiled wide and didn’t skimp on hugs as she delivered backpacks to students on their first day See GRIEVING | Page A6

MORAN — Larry Manes, a Moran resident of 19 years and one of the town’s most vocal and active boosters, encoura g ed city council Larry Manes members to become members of a cooperative that means to keep the local grocery open.

Each was handed a brochure about the co-op, after Manes, coy as he sometimes is, said, the “good news is, I’m not here asking the city for money,” though followed with a plea that each of the council members ask themselves if they could see to purchasing an individual membership for $100.

None immediately put pen to check, but they did listen closely to Manes’s well-rehearsed spiel.

“The store has been for sale for five years,” he began. “The owner (Dave Mahurin, who also has a store in his hometown, Erie) is 68 and is talking about closing it. If we lose our grocery store, Moran in 20 years will be like Savonburg,” the hamlet at the southeast corner of Allen County that has a scattering of homes and no commerce of consequence.

Manes and his group “are trying to keep the store See MORAN | Page A3

CLINTON, Mo. (AP) — Authorities searching for a suspect in the killing of a western Missouri police officer believe he is still in the area where the shooting occurred.

State, county and city law enforcement officers are searching for 39-year-old Ian McCarthy, who is charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of Clinton police officer Gary Michael late Sunday.

Hackers demand ransom NEW YORK (AP) — A group of hackers posted a fresh cache of stolen HBO files online Monday, and demanded a multimillion-dollar ransom from the network to prevent the release of entire television series and other sensitive proprietary files.

HBO, which had previously acknowledged the theft of “proprietary information,” said it’s continuing to investigate and is working with police and cybersecurity experts.

In a swaggering five-minute video

from “Mr. Smith” to HBO CEO Richard Plepler included in the dump, the hackers used white text scrolling on a black background to deliver an ultimatum.

In short: Pay up within three days or see the group, which claims to have stolen 1.5 terabytes of HBO shows and confidential corporate data, upload entire series and sensitive proprietary files.

The network reiterated Monday that it doesn’t believe that its email system as a whole has been compromised.

Leadership breakfast Thursday Heather Morgan, director of Project 17, will be the featured speaker at Thursday morning’s Leadership Breakfast at Allen County Regional Hospital.

Project 17’s goals include economic development, improving health outcomes and fighting poverty across southeast Kansas.

The breakfast is at 7 a.m. The public is welcome.

Correction MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — In a story Aug. 6 about three members of the Kansas Board of Regents whose terms expired, The Associated Press reported erroneously that their seats were open.

Under Kansas law, members whose terms have expired can continue to serve on the board legally until their replacements are named and the appointments are approved by the state Senate Confirmations Oversight Committee.

The other four women gather in her home to support her.

Together they grieve the imminent loss of a friend they are not ready to let go. However, the focus is less on death than on life as they relive a lifetime of memories.

by Jordan Harper. Nate, fresh out of jail, and his 11-year-old daughter are on the run from Aryan Steel gang members. Just before his release, Nate had killed a member of the gang, and the leader decreed death for not just Nate but also his ex-wife Avis and Polly. Nate survives until his release and makes a beeline for his ex-wife’s house. He finds Avis already dead, but manages to pick up Polly from school. They go on the run, with many near misses. Polly is a shy child, too old for the teddy bear she still carries, but soon displays

amazing resilience and an aptitude for the life they now have.

Most of us old enough to remember Christmas Eve 1968 (and I’m showing my age here) have a vivid memory of watching, transfixed, an earthrise as seen from a craft emerging from behind the moon. “Apollo 8” by Jeffrey Kluger tells a story even more compelling than realized at the time. In mid-1968, the goal of putting a man on the moon before the end of the decade seemed out of reach. The space program was stalled since the fire which killed three astronauts

on the launch pad the year before. No spacecraft had yet left nearEarth orbit. No rocket able to carry men to the moon had even yet been tested.

In August 1968, NASA gambled on a mission to orbit the moon in a stilluntested rocket in only sixteen short weeks.

Kluger tells the inside story of how that came about. In December, a nation beleaguered by war, protests, riots, and assassinations was inspired by the success of the mission. A moon landing suddenly seemed to be, after all, within our grasp.

The other storyline is in 1989, as the Berlin Wall comes down. After her father enters a nursing home, Katie takes his stamp collection to Ben, an appraiser. He discovers an unusual stamp: an edelweiss added to a stamp already in circulation. Katie wonders why her increasingly senile father sought out the stamp, and what provoked his outburst when he learned Katie had taken his collection to an appraiser. Intrigued, Ben and Katie try to find out the story behind the stamp.

Moran: More investors sought for community-owned store Continued from A1

open,” he said. “A town needs three things, I think, to keep going: A school, a post office and a grocery. Nelda (his wife) and I are still active and we can drive to Iola’s Walmart, but half the seniors don’t drive, and some of those who do just drive to church.”

To date 49 people, including a handful who live outside of Moran, have purchased $100 memberships. “We want 250 members,” Manes said. “That’d be $25,000 and we have a $60,000 grant (through Thrive Allen County’s efforts).

That’s $85,000,” but anticipation is it will take $148,000, give or take, to buy the store and $60,000 for its inventory.

To fill the gap, Manes and crew have started a more ambitious fund drive. “We’re asking for $10,000,” an amount he has put on the table, “and I have a couple of others who are close, to getting in.”

To make that portion of fundraising meaningful, about 14 subscribers of the larger amount are needed — “and I think we can get more grants.”

Provided the project moves ahead, soon after

the store is purchased by a cooperative, a board of directors will be elected and a manager hired.

“If we don’t succeed, those who have given money will get some, not all, but some, back,” Manes said.

If the cooperative flies, as has occurred in St. Paul and other small towns at an accelerating rate, those on board will have advantage if profit is realized. “It won’t be a dividend, but discounts on purchases,” he predicted.

Still stumping, Manes said he was driven by the realization “I’d feel

bad if I didn’t make every effort to keep the store open.”

Manes mentioned another source of support he intended to approach with his tapping tools.

County “Commissioner Jerry Daniels (who represents Moran and southeast parts of the county) said he would be eager to help,” he said.

“I’m going to give him and the other two commissioners a chance.”

IN OTHER news, council members: — Gave Patti Boyd permission to remove plants she purchased

and nurtured in a community garden at the edge of a pocket park along Cedar St., U.S. 59 through town and its north-south thoroughfare. She noted she had been involved since 2010, when she presented a design for the park and used her master gardener skills to move it forward — until recently when what she claimed was unauthorized intervention by locals who disagreed with its upkeep. “I bought $100 worth of plants,” she said, “and I want to remove them.” The vote to permit Boyd’s request

passed 4-1, with Jim Mueller in opposition.

— Told members of the Moran Library board to return with ideas for how to make use of the now vacant First Baptist Church, a metal building that will be the library’s new quarters. The church, purchased by the city for $45,000, will give the library much more space and permit Librarian Cindy Chalker to explore numerous ideas to pass on her love of reading and other exercises she thinks Moran residents would find fulfilling.

Pondweed problems?

Southeast Kansas is an area of abundant water. Many area landowners have recreational or livestock watering ponds on their property.

Over time, the buildup of sediment and nutrients can cause weed and algae issues. Pondweeds can become unsightly, clog pipes, and deplete oxygen necessary for a healthy fish population.

If you have concerns about your pond, join the Southwind Extension District of K-State Research and Extension at 6 p.m. Sept. 14 in the 4-H Building located at the Bourbon County fairgrounds in Fort Scott.

This program, featuring K-State Research and Extension Wildlife Specialist Charlie Lee, will focus on pond weed

identification and control measures. The program has a $10 registration fee, payable at the door. To preregister for a meal, or for more information, contact the Extension Office in Fort Scott, KS at 620-223-3720 or e-mail Christopher Petty, District Extension Agent for Livestock Production and Forage Management at cgp@ksu.edu.

Prairie Rose 4-H visits KCMO Sixty-six members, family and friends of the Prairie Rose 4-H Club, Moran, traveled to Kansas City Friday to enjoy a trip to see the Royals play the Seattle Mariners. As part of the trip, members had the opportunity to tour the Royals Hall of Fame, Negro Leagues Baseball Museum and

drive through sites in Osawatomie.

The trip was planned to top off a great year in 4-H and a successful Allen County Fair.

The next meeting for the Prairie Rose 4-H Club is scheduled for 5 p.m.

Sunday. Members will have their annual Flag Retirement ceremony.

The public is welcome to attend and should bring lawn chairs.

Children ages 7-18 interested in joining 4-H in Allen County may attend the meeting to learn more about opportunities in projects and leadership.

Saving for an emergency

By JOY MILLER Southwind Extension

Are you ready to take the challenge — the challenge to organize your financial life? Having records organized and up to date, including health, insurance and bank information, can help in your day-today life, but is especially important in emergencies.

Prepare Kansas 2017, an online challenge to Kansans, is available through the K-State Research and Extension Facebook page. It will provide step-by-step guidance to be more prepared to handle disasters. That can make recovery from many difficult situations smoother and faster.

Prepare Kansas will run through Septem-

ber to coincide with National Preparedness Month, coordinated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Disasters can be widespread, like the wildfires Kansas experienced earlier this year, but a flooded basement where important paperwork is stored, or not knowing how to reach family members in case of an emergency, can also be disastrous and can make for a more difficult recovery for individuals or families.

This September’s Prepare Kansas Facebook Challenge will be interactive, with information and resources to help individuals and families be better prepared, and will provide the opportunity for participants to comment and share their own

information on what they’re doing in regard to personal and community preparedness.

Weekly topics to be covered include Prepare a Household Inventory; Review Your Insurance Coverage; Create a Grab-and-Go Box; and Family Communication.

The formal Prepare Kansas Facebook Challenge runs through September only, but emergency preparedness information for Kansans and others is available year-round on the Prepare Kansas blog.

For more information, visit us on Facebook at Southwind or our website southwind. ksu.edu. You are also welcome to call our local office 223-3720 or reach my by e-mail: joymiller@ksu.edu.

The monthly meeting of the Prairie Dell 4-H club was brought together on July 31 at 7 p.m. at Heartland Meadows.

The flag salute and 4-H pledge were led by Henry Wicoff.

The song was led by Emilia Wilkerson, who sang “Row, Row, Row Your Boat.” The 4-H’ers showed their fair entries to the residents of Heartland Meadows.

Luke Wicoff showed his grape jelly, dried grapes and his photography. Emilia Wilkerson showed her food project and what she modeled for the fashion review.

Peyton Weast also showed some of her photography. Lane Roloff brought his woodworking project and a “washer” game. Kahlan Roloff brought her puppy, Jade, and showed her photography. Isaiah

Wicoff showed his photography. Henry Wicoff also showed his food and photography.

The next meeting will be on Sept. 4 at 7 p.m. at the Riverside Park community building.

Talks will be given

by Lane Roloff, Kahlan Roloff, Brandon McKarnin, Jackson Wilks, Ethan Weide and Katie Weide.

Keep alert, truckers! Or not.

U.S. officials are abandoning plans to require sleep apnea screening for truck drivers and train engineers, a decision that safety experts say puts millions of lives at risk.

The Federal Railroad Administration and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration said late last week that they are no longer pursuing the regulation that would require testing for the fatigue-

inducing disorder that’s been blamed for deadly rail crashes in New York City and New Jersey and several highway crashes.

The agencies argue that it should be up to railroads and trucking companies to decide whether to test employees. One railroad that does test, Metro-North in the New York City suburbs, found that 11.6 percent of its engineers have

sleep apnea.

The decision to kill the sleep apnea regulation is the latest step in President Donald Trump’s campaign to drastically slash federal regulations.

The Trump administration has withdrawn or delayed hundreds of proposed regulations since he took office in January — moves the president has said will help bolster economic growth.

Sage grouse conservation changes praised, provoke alarm CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — President Donald Trump’s administration has opened the door to industry-friendly changes to a sweeping plan imposed by his predecessor to protect a ground-dwelling bird across vast areas of the West.

Wildlife advocates warn that the proposed changes would undercut a hard-won struggle to protect the greater sage grouse.

Representatives of the ranching and energy industries cheered the policy shift as needed to give states flexibility.

A document outlining the recommended changes was released Monday by Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke.

It recognized for the

first time the importance of livestock grazing on sage grouse habitat, said Jim Magagna, executive vice president of the Wyoming Stock Growers Association.

It also backed away from requirements to keep rangeland grasses and shrubs at a prescribed minimum height, which ranchers had complained was arbitrary.

The ground-dwelling sage grouse has lengthy, pointed tail feathers and is known for the male’s elaborate courtship display in which air sacs in the neck are inflated to make a popping sound.

Millions of sage grouse once populated the West but development, livestock grazing and an invasive grass

that encourages wildfires has reduced the bird’s population to fewer than 500,000.

States affected by the conservation plan are California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota,

Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.

Just how much Zinke intends to tinker with the plan that was years in the making remains to be seen.

It was hashed out un-

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Shkreli’s comedown Martin Shkreli is at one and the same time described as charismatic as well as “the most hated man in America.”

Shkreli, 34, is best known for inflating the price of the drug Daraprim by 5,000 percent — from $13.50 to nearly $750 a pill — all because he could.

The drug combats infections common to AIDS and cancer patients.

On Friday, Shkreli was convicted of securities fraud in part by using the proceeds of his pharmaceutical company Retrophin to rescue that of two hedge funds, MSMB Capital and MSMB Healthcare, while keeping investors in the dark.

Shkreli was regarded as a boy genius, taking Wall Street by storm at age 16.

That may be, but he’s still a spoiled brat with the manners to match.

During his five-week trial Shkreli acted in a disrespectful, petulant and childish manner. Rather than be humiliated and humbled by the experience, Shkreli posted on social media Friday night that his time behind bars likely will be “close to nil,” and that he looks forward to spending some time in “Club Fed,” where he’ll hone his tennis and basketball skills.

This is where you hope fate indeed can be tempted and that Shkreli’s insolence will be rewarded with a stiff sentence.

Which brings us to a recent article about the Wichita school district’s intention to bring back a program to combat bad behavior among students.

In the last four years, the Associated Press article reported, disciplinary incidents among elementary students has increased 53 percent.

Part of the problem is a disconnect between cultures, administrators said, noting the majority of teachers are white, middle-

class and female while the student makeup reflects a wide range of ethnicities, with Hispanics representing the majority.

Even so, as evidenced

by Mr. Shkreli, one’s social status does not necessarily confer good manners. And, on the flip side, to expect bad b e h av i o r Martin Shkreli solely because of the color of one’s skin is, of course, outright prejudice. A teaching staff of predominantly white females can bridge cultural differences just as effectively as anyone else. A willingness to understand where everyone is coming from and where they want to be headed can go a long ways.

Wichita’s program takes a positive approach by rewarding good behaviors, not just punishing the bad.

It also reinforces a culture of respect so that students and teachers together can create an environment conducive for learning.

Education is more than just teaching the three Rs, but includes instilling life skills to help youth become successful, welladjusted adults.

Yes, a family’s responsibility, but as we know today, it takes a village.

WE DON’T know what Mr. Shkreli’s upbringing was like other than he attended private schools. In one of his tweets — before Twitter banned him — Shkreli posted, “I am now a god.”

We all have a role to play in taming such egos, including proving they are counterproductive. We are put on this earth to serve, not to reign. And it’s only with a servant’s attitude that we can become effective leaders.

Case managers provide crucial care to disabled One of the most valuable services provided to an individual with intellectual and developmental disability is targeted case management (TCM). Targeted case management is a service that helps individuals obtain needed health and behavioral related care. That being said, their first and foremost role is to advocate on behalf of the person served.

Although most people believe that case management is a fairly new concept, it actually had its beginnings in the 1860s when nurses began using it to care for their patients during the Civil War. It was not until the 1990s that it reached its peak in Kansas with the creation of the Developmental Disability Reform Act (DDRA). With the DDRA, each person was assigned an individual case manager, but had the option to change if they were dissatisfied with the service, as they could with any of the services they received. Some of the services that are provided by the targeted case manager include assisting with applications, providing assessments, developing the person-centered support plan, making referrals for community services, monitoring goals and other activities, advocacy, developing individual justice plans and many others.

Like other aspects of social services, targeted case management has also been under attack the past six years.

When the legislature changed the tax structure in the state, it needed money to cover the

Tim Cunningham Tri-Valley Developmental Services

financial void it created. They looked under every rock to find funding they could utilize to fill their hole. One of those rocks was targeted case management. The Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) provides guidance to states to use in the creation of their Medicaid programs. In the past, Kansas has been very flexible in its interpretation of targeted case management and CMS has always been supportive of this flexibility. In order to save money though, Kansas decided to take the strictest interpretation possible and eliminate many of the activities that were billable in the past.

We call this back door pick-pocketing. Instead of cutting rates up front to help them meet their budget, they change policy in order to create revenue. This way in the court of public opinion, they did not cut rates on people with disabilities. To add insult to injury, the state ended up cutting 4 percent from targeted case management two years ago to help balance their budget. Only through efforts of moderate Republicans and Democrats was the money restored this year.

As probably one of the most effective, efficient and useful services available, one would

Immigration bill: What works, what won’t America has long needed a sweeping overhaul of its immigration system. It’ll have to keep waiting. A bill from Republican Sens. Tom Cotton of Arkansas and David Perdue of Georgia that President Donald Trump just endorsed contains a smart policy idea that has worked well for Canada but is otherwise intellectually bereft and deeply disappointing.

The smart idea is moving to a merit-based system that admits immigrants who are most likely to become productive residents by grading them on a point system based on education, work experience and language proficiency. While America must always accept vulnerable refugees, there is no reason broader immigration policy shouldn’t be akin to college admissions policies that value hard work, accomplishment, intelligence and diversity of backgrounds and experience. Yet there is disagreement.

This idea is attacked on

the left as mean-spirited and, because of the language provision, racially motivated.

But facility with English is already an immigration requirement — and such language skills are common throughout the world. English is either the primary or secondary language in 94 nations. More than one-third of residents in Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Nepal, Papua New Guinea, Croatia, Latvia and Italy speak English. And as The New York Times reported in 2007, “English dominates the world as no language ever has.”

The idea is attacked on the right because of the belief that legal immigrants take jobs away from Americans.

While economists are divided over whether low-skilled unauthorized immigrants displace American workers, there is no question that legal immigrants are a huge engine of economic growth. A 2016 report found that more than half the 87 privately held U.S. startups

valued at $1 billion or more were founded by immigrants from a long list of nations including South Africa, Israel, China, India, Canada and the United Kingdom.

But the most problematic thing about Trump’s preferred plan is that while it recognizes the value of skilled workers, it would cut the number of immigrants in half, allowing about 500,000 green cards to be issued a year, down from the present roughly 1 million.

That is a recipe for shrinking the economy.

The plan also ignores how much the aging U.S. work force needs big infusions of new workers because of U.S. birth rates being at historic lows.

And it ignores the agriculture industry’s concern about securing enough farm workers.

Finally, the Cotton-Perdue measure does nothing to bring 11 million unauthorized immigrants out of the shadows with a path to earn

citizenship, punting on the biggest immigration issue of all.

THE GOOD NEWS is that the bill appears dead on arrival in the Senate because of opposition from moderate Republicans. The bad news is that the chance of a grand immigration compromise seems more distant than ever, with many millions of Americans firm believers that immigration hurts the nation and many other millions of Americans believing such views are driven by rank bigotry.

In 1986, President Ronald Reagan and House Speaker Tip O’Neill, D-Massachusetts, managed to win bipartisan approval of a sweeping immigration reform measure with dozens of votes to spare.

In polarized 2017, alas, the very idea of such cooperation on immigration seems like a fantasy.

— The San Diego UnionTribune

wonder why there are those who would like to see targeted case management disappear. Case managers assist with health-related matters to prevent hospitalization or even nursing home care. They develop a preferred lifestyle plan to help the individual meet their lifelong dreams.

They create goals to improve daily living skills. They make referrals for other needed services. They push for community integration. They assist the individual in doing things they are unable to do.

In many instances, the TCM is the only one advocating on behalf of the individual because they do not have any family. The amount of money TCMs have saved taxpayers is incredible. In fact, there are a lot of people without an intellectual or developmental disability that could benefit from a targeted case manager.

Tri-Valley has been blessed in the past with excellent targeted case managers. Our current makeup of case managers is no exception and includes our Director of Case Management Debi Cramer, Quality Assurance Coordinator Lisa Kinkel and case managers Kathleen Newkirk, Barbie Gregg, Jessica Flowers, Cindy Lawrence, and Lori Robinson. All of them are very dedicated and compassionate employees who are willing to go the extra mile to assist the people we serve.

Without TCMs, people with disabilities would not be able to live as independently or integrated into the community as they should.

Letter to the editor Dear editor,

One hundred and seven years ago the federal government came to Iola and built the city a grand building to be used as our post office.

Today the windows and doorways are being left to rot due to lack of care and some paint.

It’s amazing to me the government has a billion dollars to waste on a wall we don’t need and nobody wants but can’t spare $100 for paint to help save a grand old building.

Iola has already lost many of its old buildings and grand homes due to neglect. Someday we will have nothing of our heritage left.

Saturday storms take a wallop at Kiowa KIOWA, Kan. (AP) — A small Barber County town is cleaning up after strong winds, hail and heavy rain left severe damage over the weekend.

Barber County au-

thorities say the storm damaged 42 homes, leaving 17 uninhabitable.

About 15 businesses in Kiowa were damaged and the town of about 1,000 people was left without power after util-

ity poles were downed.

The town’s heavily used swimming pool was closed after being damaged and some damage was reported at South Barber High School.

City administrator

Lou Leone says cleanup and repair will cost about $2.9 million.

It’s the second storm to hit Kiowa in a month.

Leone says the cleanups will be a big hit to the town’s budget.

Grieving: Mayor’s son dies of overdose of classes.

She showed enthusiasm as she thanked the community for an outpouring of support for her son during the news conference that followed.

At times, though, she couldn’t hold back tears.

“Max will continue to inspire me and Bruce for the rest of our lives,” she said, starting to cry. “Our hearts will always be sad and empty because we can never replace our child. But I know that with my faith and I know that with my family, and I know that

with my friends, we will get through this.”

The Barrys still don’t know what drug or drugs killed their son, as they await toxicology results.

The mayor said Max had completed a month of rehab last summer. She didn’t specify what substances he went to rehab for.

“Max came home last summer to visit, and it was clear to me the minute that he got off the plane that he was in distress,” the mayor said.

“And so we got him into rehab immediately.”

Afterward, he graduat-

Knicks’ Ron Baker: Small town guy with Big Apple dream

By BARBARA BARKER Newsday

SCOTT CITY, Kan. — It is hard to imagine a place less like Madison Square Garden than the cement slab where Ron Baker spent countless hours honing his game in high school.

This is a visitor’s first thought as the Knicks guard gives a tour of the court his father poured in the front yard of the house where he grew up.

Baker and his siblings’ names are etched into the concrete, there is an old tractor parked across the street and a cornfield just a few blocks away.

Agriculture, family and sports are infused into every corner of this remote

MLB: Briefs

farm town in western Kansas. Scott City has two traffic lights, eight churches, 3,890 residents and some 150,000 beef cattle. The tallest structure in town is the grain elevator and the most important is the football stadium, which looks like something straight out of Friday Night Lights.

“Every small-town cliche you hear, it’s legit for me,” said Baker, who was a three-sport star — quarterback, basketball forward and baseball pitcher — at Scott Community High School.

The visitor has come to Western Kansas to see if she can figure out how Baker was able to leave it, to figure out what in Baker’s makeup gave him the

confidence he could play significant minutes for a storied NBA franchise in the biggest city in the country.

No American-born player since John Starks has made a more improbable journey to Madison Square Garden than the one Baker has made.

Baker, who paid his own tuition as a redshirt freshman at Wichita State, is believed to be the first college walk-on to play for the Knicks since Starks started 10 games in 199091. Now, after 52 games, including 13 starts, his rookie season, the Knicks are giving him a significant role in their rebuild.

Last month, he agreed to a two-year contract reportedly worth $8.9 million.

“I look at Ron as a guy who can play both guard positions,” Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek said last week. “He’s not the traditional point guard where he can blow by you and use his speed to get around you. He does it with strength. The game of basketball isn’t always about speed. If you know angles and create openings, you can make a lot of plays.

“Ron’s a tough kid and plays hard and does whatever you ask. Those are guys who have a chance to grow as players. We feel Ron is just at the tip of it with what he can do out there on the court.”

Around Baseball: DAZZLING DODGERS Kenta Maeda and the Los Angeles Dodgers try to keep up their amazing run when they open a series at Arizona. Los Angeles has won four straight, 13 of 14 and is 24-3 since July 4, and lead the majors with a 79-32 record. They are just the fourth big league team to win 43 or more over a 50-game stretch — the first since the 1912 New York Giants, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. The others were the 1906 Chicago Cubs and 1884 St. Louis Maroons of the Union Association.

BOUNCE BACK? Astros ace Dallas Keuchel was 9-0 with a 1.67 ERA in 11 starts when he was put on the disabled list in early April because of a neck problem. Since coming off the DL, the lefty hasn’t looked like his old self, going 0-1 in two starts while giving up six runs on 13 hits and five walks in eight innings. Keuchel aims to regain his forms when he pitches on the road vs. the Chicago White Sox. RED SOX ROLL Chris Sale (13-4, 2.70 ERA) tops the majors with 216 strikeouts as AL Eastleading Boston goes into a two-game series at Tampa Bay. Sale is coming off a rough outing in which he gave up seven runs in five innings against Cleveland.

wagering on the results of this game. But for close to four seasons, the Kansas City Royals’ defense has been a pretty safe bet.

For four years, the unit has made spectacular plays and rationed its errors and covered vast ground in the outfield. For two days here at Kauffman Stadium,

that same defense suffered through an uncharacteristic slump.

The latest breakdown came in an 11-3 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night. The latest frustrating sequence came as an army of red invaded a ballpark on the first night of a four-game I-70 series.

The number of Cardinals fans did not eclipse the home fans on a cool evening in Kansas City, yet the proliferation of red did lead to some strange sounds during a fourth-inning debacle in which Royals starter Ian Kennedy struggled to throw See I-70 | Page B4

National Football League: Kansas City Chiefs

Chiefs wide receivers focus of attention in training camp

By DAVE SKRETTA The Associated Press

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — The hole that Jeremy Maclin’s surprising offseason release left in the Kansas City Chiefs’ wide receiver corps was underscored last week when Andy Reid brought up the veteran’s name.

Reid was asked about how the rest of his pass catchers were coming along, and the Chiefs’ coach was quick to heap praise — entirely of his own doing — on the job

Maclin did serving as an on-field assistant to their younger wide receivers during his time in Kansas City.

“Jeremy was a great teacher for them,” Reid said. “Understand how you practice, how you play and prepare for both practice and games.

These guys were lucky to be around him and have that opportunity.”

Nobody outside the Chiefs’ practice complex saw Maclin’s release coming, especially considering he was present for every optional and

required workout this offseason. The Chiefs were thought to have little depth behind him, and even now he would be the most accomplished wide receiver on their roster.

But the move was made out of necessity.

The Chiefs needed to free up salary cap space to sign the rest of their draft class and make any additional roster moves.

So while Reid no doubt would prefer Maclin in Kansas City’s huddle this season instead of Baltimore’s, he is left to

sift through a sizeable group of options along with offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, with the first preseason game on the horizon Friday night against the San Francisco 49ers.

Tyreek Hill’s exceptional rookie season has made his spot secure.

Chris Conley has been around long enough that he’s established himself as one of the Chiefs’ primary options.

Beyond that is anybody’s guess.

Baker: Wichita State star has become fan-favorite in New York Continued from B1

hope so. Given that it was unclear if Baker, a restricted free agent, had drawn interest from other teams, there were a few raised eyebrows when the contract was reported. Those who know Baker say having to prove himself is not a problem. In fact, he thrives on it, given that he is a player who has been under-estimated every step of his career.

“He’s never been afraid of that big stage,” said Brian Gentry, who coached Baker in both football and basketball at Scott Community High School. “When he was young, he was never afraid to step in with older kids. The fear of failure never seemed to bother him no matter where he was coming from.”

In fact, playing sports in Scott City once seemed like the big time for Baker. Before moving there in middle school, he lived 50 miles to the east in Utica, where his father’s family owns a 6,000-acre wheat farm.

With a population of 152 people, Utica is a city only in name. Not only does it not have a traffic light; it doesn’t have paved roads. In elementary school, Baker never had more than six students in his class.

Like other kids in Utica, Baker helped out on the farm and he talks about agricultural equipment and crop rotation in the same offhanded, familiar manner that kids on Long Island talk about sum-

mer camp and trips to the beach. When he wasn’t working or in school, Baker played every sport he could. The nearest basketball court was at a park several miles outside of town.

The Bakers are an athletic family. Baker’s mother, Ranae, played volleyball, basketball and softball on scholarship at St. Mary of the Plains College. Ron’s father Neil played baseball at Fort Hays State University. Ron played everything growing up and always wanted to win.

“He’s very, very competitive,” Ranae said.

“When he didn’t win when he was little, he would pout. It didn’t matter if it was a board game or whatever.”

And in Western Kansas, they seem to be able to turn just about anything into a competition. Take the Scott County Free Fair held in July. In addition to carnival rides, chocolate waffle booths and livestock contests, there’s a zucchini-growing event, a table-setting competition, something called cow-pie bingo and a hay bale decorating contest.

First prize this year in the hay contest went to a bale that was decorated to look like Ron Baker holding a basketball.

Baker permanently cemented his status as a local celebrity since scoring the winning basket in the championship game of the 3A state tournament his senior year.

Baker had long

dreamed of playing college basketball at the University Kansas, but didn’t draw even a passing interest from Division I teams until the summer prior to his senior year when he began playing AAU ball in Wichita, 233 miles away.

Part of the problem was his size. Baker, a late bloomer, was 5-foot9 and 140 pounds when he entered high school.

But also, Scott City is so remote that even the people who live there consider it to be hard to get to.

“We have had good athletes who went through Scott City,” Gentry said. “Getting the right people out here in the stands to see what they’re made of is kind of the hard part being out here in the middle of nowhere.”

Baker almost committed to play at Fort Hays State, a Division II school, before his senior year. His mother liked the idea of him playing close to home, but on the way home from the visit he told her that he thought he had the talent to play on a higher level.

“I just don’t think we ever knew how good he was. And I think he did,” Ranae remembers. “I don’t know that I knew what he was capable of. But Ron knew and he had to go with how he felt.”

It was Ron Baker’s hair, not his game, that first caught the eye of Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall the summer before his se-

nior year when he was playing at an elite camp at the school. Baker permed his hair for his senior class picture in homage to his father who had done the same thing in high school.

“I kept telling my staff there’s something about hat kid with the curly hair that intrigues me,” Marshall said, adding with a laugh that he wasn’t intrigued enough to make the trip to Scott City to see him play.

Marshall told his assistants to keep an eye on Baker and they started a dialogue with the family. He finally saw Baker play in the state championship game and offered him a chance for a scholarship and spot on the team if he could pay his own way his first year.

Baker took the gamble and never looked back. Marshall recalls that midway through his redshirt year that teammates were coming to his office to say “the blond kid has to play.”

The next year he was given a scholarship and helped lead the Shockers to their first Final Four since 1965. There was another Sweet 16 appearance two years later. Baker finished his collegiate career with averages of 13.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game while impressing NBA scouts with his strong body, smart decisions and jump shot.

Scott City rallied behind him and the Baker family. The town held fundraisers so that the

Baker family could afford to travel to NCAA Tournaments. The mayor declared March 28, 2013 to be Ron Baker day and a parade was held to celebrate his Final Four appearance.

Though Baker went undrafted, he worked out for 14 NBA teams and ultimately picked the Knicks, where he slid onto the roster after Chasson Randle broke an orbital bone in training camp. He moved to White Plains where he lives in a high rise that has more residents than Utica and he jokes that one of this biggest accomplishments was learning to drive to training camp without his GPS. Hornacek, who also was undrafted out of college, immediately recognized some of himself in Baker, who eventually became part of his regular rotation.

“We were both guys who weren’t supposed to play and had goofy haircuts,” Hornacek said.

“There are some parallels. When I came into the league I didn’t think I’d play at all when I made the team. John McLeod was my coach in Phoenix and he saw I played the smart way.

I may not have been the fastest guy or the strongest guy or the highest

jumper. But I did things that the coach wanted to see. I got the ball to the star guys. Ron came in doing the same thing and that’s what made him earn minutes with us.”

Baker’s elaborate and enthusiastic handshakes from the bench made him a favorite of his teammates, who nicknamed him Ron Burgundy after the Will Ferrell character in “Anchorman.” Baker’s hustle quickly made him a favorite with Knicks fans. By mid-December, fans were chanting his name try to get him into a game.

“It was overwhelming at first,” Baker said of hearing his name. “I felt like they were baiting me a bit, but then I found out they actually did like me and it wasn’t a joke. New York fans like toughness and grittiness and hustle. That’s the system I grew up in.

After awhile, I was like this is pretty cool.”

Pretty cool? Those who know Baker best aren’t surprised that things are working out for him in the big city.

Said Gentry: “He’s always been someone you could put at the kids table or the adult table and he would fit right in.

He has a way of figuring things out.”

I-70: Uncharacteristic errors cripple Royals Continued from B1

strikes and shortstop Alcides Escobar and catcher Drew Butera made costly errors. By the end of the inning, the Cardinals had put up six runs, and the Kansas City defense had malfunctioned again.

The Royals (57-54) will look to even the series here on Tuesday night before heading across the state of Missouri on Wednesday.

On Sunday afternoon, the Royals gifted the Seattle Mariners four runs during a gaffefilled second inning, botching a rundown and extending the pain after a passed ball from Butera. The mistakes resulted in a loss before the Royals regrouped to claim the second game of a doubleheader.

On Monday, the porous defense surfaced in the top of the fourth inning and included the following: 1. With the game tied at 1-1, Kennedy loaded the bases by yielding a single, double and a

walk. He responded by inducing a well-struck grounder just to the left of shortstop Escobar.

The pace of the grounder made for an easy double-play ball.

Yet Escobar booted the grounder, allowing a run to score and the bases to remain loaded.

2. Kennedy followed by striking out the Cardinals’ Randal Grichuk before issuing a basesloaded walk to Greg Garcia, which had little to do with the defense but did illustrate Kennedy’s command issues.

In six innings, he walked four while allowing six hits and seven runs (six earned).

3. Moments later, Butera attempted to throw behind St. Louis’ Dexter Fowler at third base. But the baseball hit Fowler in the back and skipped into left field, allowing the fleetfooted Fowler to scamper home.

4. And much like Sunday, the errors were compounded by another costly pitch — in this

case, a 2-2 slider to Matt Carpenter that turned into a three-run homer to right field and a 7-1 deficit.

The Royals had entered the day with the best fielding percentage (.989) in the league.

They had committed just 43 errors, the least in the American League by 10, and if you prefer something a little less arbitrarily than errors, they also ranked second in the American League in Defensive Runs Above Average, an advanced metric compiled at FanGraphs.com.

Those numbers, of course, came with catcher Salvador Perez healthy and in the lineup. And they did little to help on Monday. Mike Moustakas clubbed his 32nd homer in the second inning, pulling within four of franchise record-holder Steve Balboni. Eric Hosmer added his 18th homer on an oppositefield blast in the fourth.

That was all the offense against Cardinals start-

er Carlos Martinez, who lasted eight innings and struck out seven. Designated hitter Brandon Moss added another solo shot in the ninth.

On Monday, as the annual I-70 home-andhome series loomed, the Cardinals (56-56) sat one game under .500 and 3 games out of first, while the Royals occupied the second American League wild-card spot and nipped at the heels of the idle Cleveland Indians.

The Royals once dreamed of the sustainability of their crossstate rival, and two years after claiming a World Series championship _ four seasons after the Cardinals’ last title _ they began Monday in position for their third playoff appearance in four years.

They ended the day tied with Tampa Bay for the second wild-card, and perhaps there was an easy lesson to decipher. To get back to October, the Royals must play better defense.

Chiefs: Reid happy with young WR corps Continued from B1

Jeremy was a great receiver and still is a great receiver. He did an excellent job teaching these guys this offense,” Nagy said. “Now, they are taking what they learned from him and trying to help each other out. We have a young group of guys. And what they have done is rely on each other.

“Like I said earlier, there are so many parts to this offense, especially at this positon, that can be tricky. But they have handled it with great success so far.”

Indeed, Hill and Conley are the top two wide receivers on the initial depth chart released this week, while undersized veterans Albert Wilson and D’Anthony Thomas hold down the No. 2 spots.

But it’s worth noting that Reid typically defers to his veterans in training camp, giving them the benefit of

the doubt. The reality is there have been plenty of other wide receivers who have flashed more ability than Wilson or Thomas during the first couple weeks of practice.

Second-year pro Demarcus Robinson made headlines when Reid singled him out for his strong offseason workouts. He worked primarily on special teams last season, and while he lacks ideal size for a downfield threat, his speed and routerunning ability have impressed the coaching staff.

“I’m a little bit more comfortable,” Robinson said, “because I’ve been in my playbook way more than I was last year. I’ve been learning the plays more on and off the field — I’ve been learning the plays on the field more than just reading it out of a book.”

The other No. 3 wide

receiver is Seantavius Jones, better known to Reid as “Stretch.” He has ideal size at 6-foot3, 200 pounds, and his speed has allowed him to make plenty of plays in camp. But the trick now is to take that natural athletic ability to the field in a game setting.

“I like what I’ve seen,” Reid said. “He’s a big guy that can run and he attacks the ball, which I appreciate. For the most part there’s trust. I think that’s a positive there.”

One thing Reid has been most pleased about is just that: trust.

Even though the majority of passes thrown

by Alex Smith will be headed to new targets this season, there already is a comfort level

between the quarterback and his wide receivers.

“We got a bunch of young guys that are really, really talented,” Smith said. “They all have different levels of ability and experience and are more proven then others. But every year, it is new.”

NOTES: Cairo Santos has a groin injury, leaving the status of their only kicker in question for the preseason opener. ... CB Jacoby Glenn left practice early Monday with a concussion. ... S Eric Berry (heel) and TE Travis Kelce (knee) did not practice.

Berry spent more than an hour signing autographs and taking pictures with hundreds of fans.

Topeka VA to expand TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Topeka Veteran Affairs’ hospital is planning a $4.5 million modernization project this fall.

Internal emails obtained by the Topeka Capital-Journal show that the project entails expanding the emergency department into the facility’s specialty clinic, which has moved to another location. It also includes private patient bays, a central physician and nursing hub, and a dedicated waiting space for families.

Chief of staff Alexander Hallock said the project will increase space, access, privacy and help deliver on suicide prevention.

Hallock said funds have already been allocated for the two-year project.

The project comes as

the hospital struggles with a staffing shortage.

The emergency room was closed from January 2014 to late June 2015 because of the shortage.
