College farm sale decried

MAKING NEW FRIENDS

By RICK DANLEY The Iola Register

Last month, Allen Community College voted to sell the school’s studentoperated farm.

On Tuesday, more than two dozen passionate backers of the farm turned out to urge ACC’s board of trustees to reverse course.

The students, staff and community members gathered in the first rows of the college’s lecture hall aligned themselves behind the comments of their appointed spokesman, Iola veterinarian — and longtime defender of the college farm — Darrell Monfort.

Gas looks to outfit a fitness center

By BOB JOHNSON The Iola Register

GAS — With assistance of Thrive Allen County, Gas will seek a grant of about $50,000 to outfit a room in its community center with fitness equipment.

“David (Toland) thinks we’ll have a very good chance of getting the grant,” said Mayor Darrel Catron. In addition exercise machines, funds would be available for parttime staffing.

Council members authorized Catron to go ahead with the grant effort.

They were not so receptive to other plans he laid out.

Catron said Kansas Depart-

ment of Wildlife and Parks assistance might be available for a number of attractions including a combination softball and soccer field on the east side of the center; basketball and pickleball court on the north; croquet arena, horseshoe pitching pits and lawn bowling on the west.

Also mentioned were a walking trail and playground equipment.

Councilman Larry Robertson’s interest wasn’t piqued.

“It’s not a park,” he said of the area, rather “a senior citizens building.”

Catron said he wouldn’t be interested if KDWP money See GAS | Page A2

GAS — Members of the city council have no immediate plans for where to display a memorial stone for Isaac West, Gas city marshal who was the first law-

man to be killed in the line of duty in Allen County. He was gunned down on Dec. 12, 1921.

As with a stone recognizing Clarence Sanger given to Moran last week, Sheriff Bryan Murphy explained during his presentation older ones at a law en-

forcement memorial in Topeka were being replaced. “When I found out, I picked up the two for officers from Allen County,” he said.

“I knew you’d like to have it,” he told the Gas councilmen.

Sanger died also of a shotgun blast when he

didn’t materialize.

“I’m not interested in any of it,” regardless, said Robertson.

In response, Catron retreated to, “Well, I would like to see what it would cost.” Steve Robb, city superintendent, will pursue that lead.

A PROPOSAL from John Vogel, Iola’s KwiKom president, to place antennas on the Gas water tower to provide wireless Internet to area citizens didn’t find traction, even though an agreement included a monthly payment of $100 for five years.

Robb was opposed a month ago when the idea first arose and had softened none, saying he had been involved in such projects in the past that “turned into a mess.”

Catron said the freshly painted storage tank and legs — bright red to accentuate it being “the largest Gas Kan in the world” — would be difficult to paint again with an-

tennas attached. “At least that’s what the painters said.”

Robertson took an opposite tact, pointing out he had visited with officials in several cities where KwiKom had antennas on towers; “they are all wellpleased.” Also, he said, “we need to look at what would be good for residents whether we like it or not.”

A retort was for Vogel to look at other options, including a tower that his company might erect somewhere in the city.

“I’m not opposed to putting a tower on the northwest corner of the school (community center) property,” said Councilman Mark Henry.

Eventually any action on Vogel’s proposal, or an alternative, was tabled until the council’s March 8 meeting.

West’s death came when he and three city councilmen went to David Prosser’s place in northwest Gas to order him to remove a wire restricting foot traffic in front of his three-room residence.

Prosser shot West.

Prosser was arrested and placed in the county jail. “The dastardly act stirred the citizens of Gas City and vicinity to such an extent,” the obituary reported, “the sheriff, fearing Prosser would be mobbed, took his prisoner to another jail ‘somewhere in Kansas’ for safe keeping.” Prosser was found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. He died in the prison hospital at age 73.

West was 62 when he was murdered. He had been Gas city marshal four years.

Financial Focus Think About Sending Financial Valentines to Loved Ones

Americans spent nearly $19 billion in Valentine’s Day gifts last year, according to the National Retail Federation. Much of this money went for gifts with short shelf lives, such as candy, flowers and restaurant meals (and about $700 million was spent on gifts for pets). There’s certainly nothing wrong with giving chocolates or roses. But this year, think about going beyond the classic gifts. Instead, use Valentine’s Day as an opportunity to determine how you can make gifts with long-lasting impact to your circle of loved ones.

Here are some suggestions: • For your spouse or significant other… As long as your spouse or significant other has earned income, he or she may be able to contribute to a traditional or Roth IRA. So, consider giving a check to be used for that purpose. A traditional IRA can grow tax deferred, while contributions are usually tax-deductible. (Taxes are due upon withdrawal, and withdrawals prior to 59½ may be subject to a 10% IRS penalty.) While Roth IRA contributions are not deductible, any earnings growth can be distributed tax free, provided the account owner doesn’t take withdrawals until age 59½ and has had the account at least five years. For 2015 and 2016, the IRA contribution limit is $5,500, or $6,500 for those 50 or older.

• For your children… You don’t have to be rich to give your children a gift worth $1 million – you just have to help them through school. College graduates earn about $1 million more over their lifetimes than those without a degree, according to research from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Still, college isn’t cheap: The average annual cost – tuition, fees, room and board – for a private four-year college is more than $42,000, according to the College Board, while the comparable figure for a public four-year school is about $19,000. Of course, if financial aid is available, you could get some help. Nonetheless, you may want to start putting away money for college.

One popular college savings vehicle is a 529 plan.

Your 529 plan contributions may be deductible from your state taxes, and any earnings growth can be withdrawn tax-free, provided it is used for qualified higher education expenses. (However, if you take withdrawals from your 529 plan, and you don’t use the money for these higher education expenses, you may be subject to both income tax and a 10% penalty on the earnings.)

• For your parents… If you have elderly parents, you may want to find out if they’ve got their retirement and estate plans in place. If they’ve already taken care of everything, you may not need to get involved – but if they’ve left some “loose ends,” your help could be a valuable gift. So, ask them if they have drawn up the necessary legal documents. Do they each have a will? Have they created a durable power of attorney, which allows them to name someone to make financial and health care decisions on their behalf if they become incapacitated? If it appears they have much work to do in these areas, you may want to offer to arrange a consultation for them with a legal advisor and a financial professional.

None of these ideas are “traditional” Valentine’s Day gifts – but all of them can prove of great value to your loved ones.

Housing: County gets snapshot of economic development Continued from A1

which he is a member.

Manes said affordable housing continues to be an issue.

Iola and Humboldt industries — Gates Corporation, Russell Stover Candies and B&W Trailer Hitches, to mention some — have large numbers of employees who drive from out of town each day. “They come from Chanute, Yates Center, Garnett, Cherryvale, Coffeyville,” he said.

The problem is contractors “want to build three-bed, two-bath houses with attached two-car garages priced in the $125,000 range,” Manes said. “Wages are too low for workers to afford those houses.”

Housing on the north side of Iola was thought to be a solution at inception, but because of government financing the rent restrictions are narrow, Manes said.

The market-based apartments and townhomes planned for the old hospital site will help address the housing situation, Manes said.

Humboldt’s Housing Action Team might be a good model for the rest of the county, he said.

The committee has done rehabilitation of houses. Monday night the city signed off on two contracts to upgrade rental property, by means of a state grant.

THE

REPORT

also

had its share of highlights, with the current leader being upcoming construction of the G&W grocery on site of the former Allen County Hospital.

B&W opened a 19,000-square-foot addition in 2014 and “has continued to be a progressive employer that pays competitive wages.”

Monarch Cement, Humboldt’s original flagship industry, remains a large and stable employer, and has for more than a century. It is one of two cement plants operating in Kansas.

Humboldt’s council members signed on with KsFiberNet Monday evening to bring fiber optic cable to town. Iola

also needs to be connected to high-speed broadband, Manes said, and pointed to LaHarpe Telephone as a potential source. “Currently, only a small portion of the available capacity is being used.”

Requests for information from industries come to the committee often — 35 in 2014 and 25 in 2015 — but responses aren’t made to many because of lack of labor availability; lack of a shovel-ready site; and lack of four-lane highway nearby.

Retail business inquiries numbered 38 the past two years.

The former HerffJones building is available and may become an incentive for prospects.

A down-hole pump enterprise is using about 20,000 square feet of the former Klein Tools plant, north of Moran. That leaves 80,000 square feet available in the building owned by Ray Maloney, who has expressed eagerness to assist with economic development.

A project that could mean much to the county is a proposed wind farm north and east of LaHarpe. To date, a development group has leased 12,000 of the 20,000 acres needed.

Construction may start later this year, Manes said. A substantial benefit would be increased property tax collections, or payments in lieu of taxes.

IN OTHER news, commissioners: — Approved purchase of rain measurement apparatus to make the automatic weather service beacon at Allen County Airport certified by the Federal Aviation Administration.

— Learned from County Counselor Alan Weber a survey by Ag Engineering, Uniontown, now estimates filing the hole created by removal of the old hospital basement will require about 3,000 cubic yards of dirt. An earlier estimate was 9,000 cubic yards. Ag Engineering will test dirt acquired for the project, as well as do compaction tests once work begins.

Farm: College hears impassioned pleas to keep facility Continued from A1

menu of positive aspects the farm affords both the college and the wider community, Monfort politely chided the board for the course of actions that had brought them to this point.

The thrust of Monfort’s complaint was that the decision to sell the farm was made with insufficient knowledge of the farm’s importance — a fact, claimed Monfort, resulting from the college’s reluctance to regularly convene and consult the ag advisory committee as well as the nearly total lack of agricultural experience among the college’s current roster of administrators.

“My understanding,” announced Monfort, “is that you haven’t had an ag advisory meeting for at least two years.”

Neglecting the counsel of the ag committee, he continued, “you’re probably never going to make different decisions than you have, because you haven’t had two sides of the issue presented to you.”

According to Monfort, potential enrollees have “already dropped ACC off their list of colleges because of the loss of the farm. ... I’m told we’re going to keep the [livestock] judging team. But I don’t think that position is even being advertised. These kids who want to come to ACC for judging, they don’t even know who their coach is going to be. These kids aren’t coming here. You’re losing some great students.”

Plus, continued Mon-

It wasn’t the school, it wasn’t the teachers, it wasn’t the money — that’s not what brought me here. What brought me here is that I can go to school in the morning, come home at noon, and then do what I love the whole rest of the day. That’s what gets me through school. Being able to feed cattle, have calves, and be happy.

— Quentin Haas, farm student at Allen Community College

fort, you’re endangering the likelihood that ag students further down the pipeline will choose ACC. “The farm is an asset to the whole community,” stressed Monfort, pointing to the many educational events the farm hosts for area children. The young man or woman from a nearby town, who visited the farm for an afternoon as a first-grader, who came again as a fourth-grader, and who then took advantage of the facilities as a high school vo-ag student — that young person would be, assuming the farm was preserved, poised to make ACC their college of choice.

Donors, too, speculates Monfort, may reject ACC on the grounds that the school hasn’t shown sufficient constancy to a program that was designed to nurture the ag department in the long-term.

Monfort and his allies were also unmoved by any claim that the college was relinquishing the farm as a costsaving measure.

Firstly, argued Monfort, replacing the farm

manager with an ag recruiter — as the board has proposed — will be a “financial wash.” (Full details of the trustees’ reasons for selling the farm appeared in the Jan. 15 edition of the Register.)

Secondly, Monfort pointed to the value of the farm’s current herd, which “now stands ready to contribute to the farm finances. ...

The revenue generated from the sale [of the farm], if placed in an investment fund, will generate the same return as the sale of calves from the cow herd at current rates.

“We’d sure hate to see that herd go to waste.

These are assets that have been built up over a long time.

“If you don’t like the dollars given to the farm,” continued Monfort, then ration the outlay as you would with any other program.

“But it doesn’t mean you drop the farm.”

Where the college has proposed replacing the farm with a more pointed system of internships or apprenticeship opportunities at farms in greater

Allen County, Monfort asked the trustees not to ignore the positive symbiosis created when a farm is part and parcel of an institution of advanced learning. The veterinarian imagined a scenario in which an ag student would have his soil sample analyzed in the school’s chemistry department — a transaction valuable to both the ag student and science major.

“Ag is still a prime mover in Allen County’s economy,” stressed Monfort. “But we’re a shrinking community ... [and] online classes don’t bring students in.

You collected the tuition dollars, but you didn’t collect the benefits of having the students here.”

OF THE DOZEN or more students in attendance at the meeting, those who spoke echoed, some tearfully, the importance of the hands-on learning ex-

perience the college farm has provided them.

Quentin Haas, from rural Madison, described seeing Allen Farm from the passenger seat of his mother’s car when he was a small boy. “We drove by and she said ‘Look out there, look at the farm.’ I did, and she said, ‘There, you can do exactly what you do at home, and have a good experience. You can be happy.’ And, believe it or not, it wasn’t the school, it wasn’t the teachers, it wasn’t the money — that’s not what brought me here. What brought me here is that I can go to school in the morning, come home at noon, and then do what I love the whole rest of the day. That’s what gets me through school. Being able to feed cattle, have calves, and be happy.”

Proponents asked trustees to look again at the decision to sell the farm. “I think there’s been a communications problem: from the

D E LW E IVER 2150 N. State Street - Iola

•

boardroom, from the administration, all the way down to the ground floor at the farm,” concluded Monfort.

The board delayed making any binding decision on the matter until their chairman, Ken McGuffin, returns in the coming weeks. The topic will be continued at the trustees’ March 8 meeting.

Correction In Tuesday’s paper it was incorrectly reported in the story about increasing the age to buy tobacco products to 21, that the Health Care Foundation of Greater Kansas City helps fund the Rural Health Initiative. It does not.

Dr. Bridget McCandless, executive director of the foundation, addressed city council members merely from her perspective as a physician.

The Register regrets the error.

A guest editorial

Gov’s funding grab The governor’s plan to sweep $57 million from a fund earmarked for children’s programs into the state general fund thankfully has hit a significant roadblock in the Kansas Legislature.

Gov. Brownback’s latest proposal to deal with the state’s ongoing revenue shortfall included plans to eliminate the Children’s Initiatives Fund created as part of the nationwide tobacco settlement. Although the governor said that all of the children’s programs that currently benefit from the CIF still would be fully funded, that money no longer would be set aside specifically for those programs. Children’s advocates are understandably concerned that children’s programs will find it difficult to compete with other demands for general fund money. It seems obvious that if the governor didn’t need to use the CIF money for other purposes, there would be no reason to take it away from the children’s fund.

On Thursday, the House Appropriations Committee passed a budget plan that scraps the governor’s sweep of children’s funds. Noting that a recent efficiency study highlighted the CIF as one of the state’s most transparent and efficient uses of money, the committee canceled the sweep of most of the CIF money.

However, it still would allow the transfer of $7.2 million from the fund which would be offset with federal money from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families block grant.

Lawrence residents may have read recently about plans to shift funding for the local Parents as Teachers program to TANF. Instead of taking former CIF money back from the gen-

eral fund to cover that program, Brownback called for replacing those funds with TANF money. The only problem is that only families that meet low-income guidelines set for TANF recipients could continue to participate in Parents as Teachers without paying a fee. The program, which works with parents and provides an opportunity to address many issues that could impact a child’s development, currently is available to everyone at no cost.

Not only would setting the income requirements likely limit participation in this important program, it also would create new administrative expenses.

Kansas Action for Children estimates that the added costs of administering Parents as Teachers — the need to verify family incomes and bill families who would have to pay — would amount to about $1 million. That’s $1 million that would be taken away from children’s services in the state.

Hopefully, the House Appropriations Committee’s plan uses TANF money in a way that doesn’t create new problems or barriers for Parents as Teachers or any other program currently funded by the children’s fund.

The battle for the Children’s Initiatives Fund is not over. The Senate Ways and Means Committee is scheduled to consider a different budget bill that includes the $57 million CIF sweep. Hopefully its members also will see the wisdom of preserving a program that was founded to benefit the children of Kansas and has effectively used its funding to promote that goal.

Bill demonizing teaching materials off-putting The proposal to allow for the prosecution of teachers for presenting what some contend is harmful material is back in the Kansas Legislature. Unfortunately, it’s no better an idea this year than it was last year.

The bill is the brainchild of state Sen. Mary PilcherCook, a Shawnee Republican.

She was sufficiently outraged in 2014 by a poster in a sex education classroom in the Shawnee Mission school district to insist that children be protected from such material.

She said children could have been irreparably harmed by the poster because “it affects their brains.”

Under current law, school administrators and teachers are shielded from prosecution for the misdemeanor of presenting harmful material — an umbrella term for material of a sexual nature — to minors if it is presented in the context of a lesson. Sen. Pilcher-Cook’s bill would strip them of that protection; conviction could result in up

to six months in jail or a fine.

Despite honorable intentions, teachers can on occasion go too far. When they do, there are far better ways to convey disapproval than criminalizing such an act. It’s something a principal, or in extreme occasions, a school board, could handle.

Thus it was gratifying, though not surprising, to hear local legislators speak against the bill at a forum Saturday morning. Not only are districts across the state capable of dealing with the issue, but as state Rep. Susie Swanson, a Clay Center Republican, said, the proposal constitutes meddling in local school matters.

“We should do the important work, like the budget, instead of sitting around and thinking up these goofball ideas,” she said.

This particular goofball idea passed the Senate last year, and if it gets through the House, would almost certainly be signed into law by Gov. Sam Brownback.

The upshot, as state Sen.

Tom Hawk, a Manhattan Democrat, observed, would be to further discourage teachers from adopting creative methods that they think will connect with their students.

Potentially offensive material is in the eye of the beholder.

When pressed in a committee hearing as to whether depictions of Michelangelo’s nude statue of David or ribald references in Shakespeare works such as “Romeo and Juliet” could merit criminal prosecution, Sen. Pilcher-Cook said those decisions would be up to local prosecutors.

She also noted that her bill defines harmful material as material “a reasonable person would find lacks serious literary, scientific, educational, artistic or political value.”

Our sense is that a reasonable person would recognize that teachers go to great lengths to help rather than hurt students, and that intimidating educators in this fashion does more harm than good.

President Obama to American Muslims: ‘You belong here’

By JOHN FRITZE The Baltimore Sun

(TNS) BALTIMORE—President Barack Obama, speaking in Baltimore County on Wednesday during his first visit to a U.S. mosque as president, urged Americans to embrace their “common humanity” and reject the “inexcusable political rhetoric” he said is emanating from the presidential campaign trail.

Obama spoke of the role Islam has played in the nation’s history, and decried a rise in rhetoric and violence directed against Muslims since the deadly attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, Calif.

He called on the religion’s leaders, meanwhile, to speak out against extremism. “We’re one American family,” Obama told an audience at the Islamic Society of Baltimore in Catonsville, one of the largest and most influential mosques in the Mid-Atlantic.

“And when any part of our family starts to feel separate or second-class or targeted, it tears at the very fabric of our nation.”

Although Obama touched on the presidential election only tangentially, White House aides said he decided to speak at the mosque largely to counter statements and policies floated by Republican candidates in recent months.

Billionaire Donald Trump, in particular, has stirred con-

President Barack Obama shakes hands with students of the Al-Rahmah School during his visit to the Islamic Society of Baltimore last Wednesday. BALTIMORE SUN/KENNETH LAM troversy by proposing to bar Muslims from entering the country.

“Recently, we’ve heard inexcusable political rhetoric against Muslim Americans that has no place in our country,” Obama said. “We have to reject a politics that seeks to manipulate prejudice or bias, and targets people because of religion.”

The address mirrored Obama’s outreach to the Islamic world in 2009, when he stood at a pulpit in Cairo and sought to explain America to Muslims skeptical of Western values On Wednesday, Obama tried to explain Islam to Americans, quoting Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin and other founding fathers who welcomed the ancient religion to

the new nation.

The mosque where Obama chose to deliver that message has grown from a small gathering of doctors at the Johns Hopkins University in 1969 into a massive campus near Catonsville with thousands of worshipers, a school, medical facilities and a Girl Scout troop.

Obama described the Islamic Society of Baltimore as an “All-American story.”

The society has been visited

by Republican elected officials, too, with virtually no controversy. When Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. toured the campus in 2002, a year after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, hardly anyone noticed.

Obama quoted from the Quran to reinforce a point

about religious harmony: “We have made you people of tribes,” he said, “so you may know one another.”

A small group of onlookers gathered in the cold and rain outside to watch the president’s motorcade arrive.

Mujahiddeen Mohammed, 31, brought his family from Philadelphia.

He huddled under an umbrella with his sleeping son.

He chose to see the drizzle as an auspicious sign.

Muslims see rain on a funeral as washing away the sins of the departed, Mohammed said. He thought the rain and the president’s visit marked the death of racism and intolerance.

The presidential motorcade rolled up Johnnycake Road

just after 11 a.m., passing a few protesters waving signs about the Palestinian militant organization Hamas.

A Christian preacher spoke through a megaphone. “Jesus Christ is Lord,” he said. “Hallelujah!”

The man, who declined to give his name, had spent much of the morning denouncing Islam as a false religion.

Colin Christopher, the executive director of a Washington-based environmental group called Green Muslims, was one of a dozen community leaders who spoke with Obama in a closed-door meeting at the mosque. White House officials said the participants were chosen for the contributions they have made to their communities.

Christopher said participants shared stories of “feeling bothered and discriminated against and fear from neighbors and constantly under surveillance.”

“This has happened to most of us at some level,” he said.

Another participant, Baltimore resident Saafir Rabb, likened the struggle Muslim Americans are facing now to the conditions that led to the civil rights movement.

“There was a time when bigotry and hatred prevailed in American rhetoric, and over time it was corrected,” said Rabb, the founder of a consulting company.

“It is our intention to work hard and ardently to correct it again.”

Humboldt girls win — B6

Wednesday, February 10, 2016

Kansas moves into first-place tie with revenge win LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Landen Lucas rarely gets much credit for the work he does for Kansas, mainly because the blue-collar forward earns his minutes with rebounding and defense rather than offense.

So when Perry Ellis had the ball with a clear path to the rim Tuesday night, he decided to reward his teammate. With a deft flip of his wrist, Ellis lobbed up a pass that Lucas dutifully flushed.

“He was open,” Ellis said,

“so I had to get him some.”

Lucas had certainly earned it. He pulled down a careerhigh 16 rebounds, scored nine points and even had four blocks in the sixth-ranked Jayhawks’ 75-65 victory over No. 10 West Virginia.

“I see him out there working hard,” Ellis said. “You got to reward your teammate.”

Besides, Ellis still scored a game-high 21 points. Frank Mason III added 14 for the Jayhawks (20-4, 8-3), who handled the Mountaineers’ pressure

well most of the night in avenging their lopsided loss lost month in Morgantown that had them playing catchup in the league race.

Now, they are tied with the Mountaineers (19-5, 8-3) and See KU | Page B5

STARTING OVER Holloway leads Crest as they look to build up program

By JON DYKSTRA The Iola Register

COLONY — In sports, so much is defined by the final score of the game and statistics like points-per-game, but for Crest girls’ basketball coach Elaine Holloway defining the success of her program extends far beyond what the scorebook reads at the end of the game.

After losing to Olpe 22-4 in the junior varsity game, Holloway’s eight-person squad — which consists of four fresh-

men — took the floor for the varsity game.

Just the act of stepping on the floor marks progress for a team that only last year did not have the numbers to field a varsity team and was forced to forfeit their season.

Because of that, “It is a learning year for us,” Holloway said.

The overmatched Lancers quickly fell behind the much more experienced Eagles’ roster and the Eagles pressured the all-freshman backcourt of Camryn

Strickler and Regan Godderz forcing numerous turnovers from the youngsters and jumping out to a 48-1 lead with time dwindling down in the first half.

“This team is learning how to play on a varsity team,” Holloway said.

“They are becoming mentally strong.”

Despite the enormous deficit and with the end result being clear from nearly the opening tipoff, the Lancers See CREST | Page B3

Crest’s Hunter Frazell drives to the basket against Olpe on Tuesday. REGISTER/JON DYKSTRA

COLONY — The Crest basketball team sits with a very respectable 9-6 record as their season comes down the back stretch, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t plenty for Travis Hermreck’s squad to continue to work on.

Never were the Lancer

Fillies fall on road LA CYGNE — Take away one of Iola High’s main cogs, and the Fillies can make do, as evidenced by Friday’s homecoming win against visiting Central Heights.

But take away a second key performer, and things get a little tougher.

A shorthanded Fillies squad stood toe-to-toe for much of the first half Tuesday at Pioneer League rival Prairie View.

But without the services of leading scorer Toni Macha (illness) and standout point guard Sydney Wade (ankle), the Fillies found themselves

precariously short of ammo.

The Buffalos took the lead for good in the second quarter and never looked back in a 4024 victory.

The loss — Iola’s sixth in seven games — drops the Fillies to 5-11 on the season.

“We played good defense, and I was happy with the effort,” Iola head coach Becky Carlson said. “It would have been a great victory. We just couldn’t get the scoring we needed.”

Iola led 10-8 at the end of the first quarter and 11-10 early in the second before Prairie View took the lead for good See FILLIES | Page B3

faults more evident than in Tuesday’s 69-38 loss to Olpe.

“We knew Olpe was good and we knew we’d have to play well to beat them to even stay in the game,” Hermreck said.

Crest was able to hang tough with Olpe through the first quarter when they only trailed by a score of 12See LANCERS | Page B3

Marmaton Valley allowed 53 points to Northeast Alma in the first half of Tuesday’s boy’s basketball game and were not able to recover in the second half, falling 74-40.

The second quarter was the most lopsided of the night for Marmaton Valley as they began the quarter down 25-14 and after a 28-6 quarter, entered the locker room with a 53-20 deficit.

The team didn’t quit playing in the second half, however, despite the deficit. They were edged out in scoring in the third period 17-12 and outscored Northeast Arma 8-4 but it was too little too late as the game was long decided.

Brady Newman led Marmaton Valley with 14 points.

Fellow-senior Gage Adams joined his teammate in double figures with 10 points.

MARMATON VALLEY girls suffered defeat at the hands of Northeast Arma as well on Tuesday night.

The girls fell behind early in route to a 46-32 defeat.

The first quarter decided the outcome of the game as Northeast Arma jumped in front 18-8 after the opening eight minutes.

The second quarter provided little relief for Marmaton Valley as they were outscored 12-6 in that quarter.

Marmaton Valley outscored Northeast Arma 18-16 in the second half as they kept battling but to no avail.

Makayla Brooks and Mackenzie Tynon paced the Marmaton Valley scoring effort with eight points a piece. Kyla Drake added 5 points in the game as well.

THE JV GIRLS also fell to Northeast Arma. They lost 3429.

A furious fourth quarter rally fell short as Marmaton outscored Northeast Arma 12-5 in the game’s final period but fell just short of finishing the comeback.

Marmaton Valley was led in scoring by freshman forward Patricia Outlan with nine points. Isabelle Bigelow added seven, including five in the fourth quarter.

Iola’s streak snapped

Iola’s Della Lohman shoots in an earlier game this season.

LA CYGNE — Points were at a premium early Tuesday.

But while host Prairie View High’s boys were able to find some semblance of an offense, Iola High’s Mustangs could not.

“It was like our feet were in the mud,” Iola head coach Jay Applegate said of Iola’s 38-23 defeat. “The whole game was a struggle.”

The loss snapped Iola’s modest two-game winning streak.

“We took several steps back from the last two games,” Applegate said.

The game was scoreless

for the first 5 minutes. Iola’s Ethan Holloway had three early blocks on defense, but the Mustang offense had trouble getting the ball inside.

Holloway scored inside and Brett Taylor’s jumper from the elbow gave the Mustangs a 4-2 lead after one period.

The momentum changed in the second period. Iola went almost the entire quarter without a field goal.

Trump, Sanders trounce foes in New Hampshire primaries MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Bernie Sanders rode a wave of voter frustration with American politics to commanding victories in Tuesday’s New Hampshire primaries, adding crucial credibility to their upstart candidacies.

Sanders swept majorities of men, women, independents and young people in his win over Hillary Clinton, but faces challenges in the more diverse states that come next on the primary calendar. Trump, appealing to voters seeking a politi-

for taking on Wall Street banks and tackling income inequality. But she cast herself as more prepared to make good on her pledges.

New Hampshire did little to clarify the crowded contest among more mainstream GOP candidates fighting to emerge as a challenger to Trump and Texas Sen. Cruz. Florida Sen. Rubio, former Florida Gov. Bush and Cruz battled for third behind Kasich.

Throughout the heated primary campaign, Kasich has prided himself on not attacking his rivals. A

Even if neither candidate ultimately becomes his party’s nominee, whoever wins that nomination will have to reckon with the voter frustration they’ve tapped into.

cal outsider, could benefit from the persistent lack of clarity among the more mainstream Republicans struggling to challenge him. “We are going to do something so good and so fast and so strong and the world is going to respect us again, believe me,�

Trump said at a victory rally.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich grabbed second in New Hampshire after pouring nearly all of his campaign resources into the state.

Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio vied for third along with Ted Cruz, the Iowa caucus winner, ensuring all would press on to the next voting contest in South Carolina.

Sanders, at his own raucous rally, said his victory sent a message “that will echo from Wall Street to Washington, from Maine to California. And that is that the government of our great country belongs to all of the people and not just a handful of wealthy campaign contributors and their super PACs.�

The enthusiasm behind Trump, a real estate mogul who has never held political office, and Vermont Sen. Sanders, who says he is a democratic socialist, underscores the public’s anger with the current political and economic system. Even if neither candidate ultimately becomes his party’s nominee, whoever wins that nomination will have to reckon with the voter frustration they’ve tapped into.

Clinton appeared to recognize that reality in her concession speech, echoing Sanders’ calls

more moderate Republican from a politically important state, Kasich told supporters Tuesday night that his second-place finish could be an indication that “we’re turning the page on a dark part of American politics.�

The day was a blow for Rubio, who had appeared to be breaking away from the second-tier Republican pack after a strongerthan-expected showing in Iowa. But he stumbled in Saturday’s debate under intense pressure from New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who has relentlessly cast the young senator as too inexperienced and too reliant on memorized talking points to become president.

Rubio conceded that the debate may have hurt him in Tuesday’s contest and pledged to supporters that his poor performance “will never happen again.�

Republican voters were more negative about their politicians than Democrats, with about half of GOP voters saying they felt betrayed by party officials.

In a sign of Trump’s impact on the race, twothirds of GOP voters said they supported a temporary ban on non-citizen Muslims entering the U.S., a position the billionaire outlined last year amid rising fears of terrorism emanating from the Middle East.

Sanders pulled from a broad coalition of New Hampshire voters, gathering a majority of votes from both men and women, independents and voters under 45. Hillary Clinton won the majority of those over 65.

Fillies: Iola loses Continued from B1

Marmaton Valley High School

Class of ‘16

with a 5-0 run.

Still, Iola stayed within arm’s length until halftime, courtesy of a balanced scoring attack with Ashlie Shields, Riley Murry, Colbi Riley, Mikaela Platt and Della Lohman all finding the scoring column.

That soured in the third quarter as the Buffalos clamped down on defense.

Prairie View held Iola scoreless for more than 5 1/2 minutes after the break. Platt’s long jumper with 2:14 left ended what had been an 8-0 Buffalo run.

“We were just as good on defense as we’d been in the first half,” Carlson said. “We just couldn’t get any of our shots to fall.”

Shields emerged to give Iola a spark down the stretch.

She scored all six of Iola’s points at one point, including an inside bucket to cut the deficit to seven, 28-21, early in the fourth period.

But the Buffalos’ Kammie Davis responded with a bucket before Allyson Kirkpatrick completed a 3-point play to re-establish a double-digit lead.

Shields paced the Fillies with 11 points and 10 rebounds, followed by

Lancers: Crest boys swept by Olpe

Platt with 5 points, Murry with 4, Riley 3 and Lohman 2.

Carlson noted that not only did Iola have several girls see extensive action, but those who normally start had to play in different positions.

“Shields and Platt both stepped up and tried to take charge,” Carlson said. “Ashlie did a good job looking to score. Mikaela did a lot of the other things we needed her to do.

I thought Colbi did a good job. So did Della Lohman.”

Carlson noted Wade and Macha combined to score 23 of Iola’s 32 points in Iola’s first game against Prairie View in December.

“Games like this can do nothing but make us better,” Carlson said.

“We had 18 turnovers, which wasn’t bad.”

Carlson is uncertain when her dynamic duo will return.

“Toni tried to come to school today, but really didn’t feel well,” she said. “I don’t know if Sydney will be ready for Friday.”

Davis and Kirkpatrick led the Buffalos with 16 and 10 points.

Continued from B1

Crest was able to hang tough with Olpe through the first quarter when they only trailed by a score of 12-10 entering the second eight minutes of game time, but it went downhill quickly from there for the Lancers.

“We had our heads up,” Hermreck said. “When you are playing and you don’t worry about anything other than playing hard and competing against the other team, it gives you a chance.”

The Eagles outscored the Lancers 14-4 in the second quarter to open up a 12 point halftime lead. In the second quarter, Olpe attacked Crest with both offensive rebounding and ball pressure to force turnovers.

“You are going to give up offensive rebounds and turn the ball over every now and then,” Hermreck said. “When it happens continuously, that is a pretty good sign that mentally you are somewhere else and physically you are just not putting out the effort.”

Despite the halftime deficit, Crest was still very much in the game and with star guard Hunter Frazell’s ability to shoot from long range,

Crest seemed as if they might be able to mount a second half push.

But instead of Crest cutting into the lead, Olpe built on it.

“I felt like we put our heads down and allowed Olpe to outwork us,” Hermreck said.

With a defensive philosophy that keyed on making sure Frazell’s clean looks from behind the arc were limited, Olpe frustrated the Lancer star and his teammates.

“I was disappointed in the fact that we had a lot of finger pointing,” Hermreck said. “We didn’t play as a team and when that happens against a team that has more talent than you and more physical ability than you, it is going to be bad things.

“What we have to understand is that we’re shorter, we are this and that. We have to play as a team and we’ve got to play harder than the other team. We got to be together. We are in this together. I don’t get that feeling from the boys right now that they believe that.”

The Eagles doubled the lead they enjoyed at halftime in the third quarter by outscoring the Lancers 23-11 to go up by 24.

A 20-13 fourth quarter ended the game for Crest and provided the final margin.

“The message I gave the team after the game was that it can all change in an instant,” Hermreck said. “It is just a matter of finding it in themselves to do what we were doing when we were the hardworking team and playing together.

“It just comes with a little mental tweaking and tomorrow in practice we will have the opportunity to get a little more mentally tough.”

Despite all the defensive attention he drew, Frazell led the Lancers with 14 points, including three 3-pointers. Senior Evan Godderz added nine points to the losing cause.

Olpe was paced by sophomore Damon Schmidt with 16 points and senior Brady Scheidegger, who dropped in 15. Senior Jake Smith joined them in double figures with 11.

THE CREST JV team also suffered a doubledigit defeat on Tuesday

B3

night. They fell to Olpe 42-28 on their home floor.

Crest freshman Hayden Hermreck led the Lancers with 23 of their 28 points, but the Eagles were able to overcome Hermreck’s big night with a balanced team effort.

Sophomore Wyatt Schultz led Olpe with 16 points and freshman Camden Hoelting also added in eight points.

Matt Burket and Tagen Webb each scored seven points in the winning effort as well.

Despite the enormous deficit and with the end result being clear from nearly the opening tipoff, the Lancers kept racing all around the court.

“A lot of people just see what’s on the floor,” Holloway said. “They don’t see practices, they don’t see the locker room. This team is strong. They care about each other. They work hard every day.”

At the top of the Eagles’ zone defense, Strickler continued to run from Eagle to Eagle to try and force a miscue.

Junior center Miranda Golden battled for position on the block every

chance she got. The entire team was not going to quit playing just because the score indicated that the game was over.

“They have a lot of heart,” Holloway said.

As the last seconds ticked off the clock in the second quarter, Crest got the ball under their own basket and instead of just taking the ball and making sure they didn’t have yet another first half turnover, the Lancers pushed the ball up the court as fast as they could, as if the game were hanging in the balance.

The ball was swung to the left wing and found the hands of the freshman Godderz. Out of ne-

cessity — without time on the clock to do anything else — Godderz rose up and fired a three.

As the ball found the bottom of the net and the game went to halftime with the scoreboard reading 48-4, the Lancer fans cheered their team off the court because of their never-quit attitude.

“Every game, I ask my girls to play hard from beginning to end,” Holloway said. “Do the little things and enjoy the game.”

Holloway said that attitude and heart of her team is why this program will be headed for much better times in the future.

With two juniors, two sophomores and the four freshmen, this Lancer group will have the opportunity to play many more games in a Crest uniform and there may be more rough times like Tuesday’s 71-10 loss, but Crest’s team goals “I’m proud of these two juniors, I’m glad they stuck with me. I know they don’t like me all the time, but I’m so glad they stuck with me. That just means that they care and I care for them,” Holloway said.

The time will come when they — like most involved in high school sports — will be more concerned with scores and statistics, but as the Lancers navigate through their 2015-2016 season, they are just enjoying the ride of being back on the court.

Shockers roll big Clippers’ Griffin suspended after punching team staff member DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Wichita State bounced back from a rare league loss by spreading the ball around in yet another blowout win.

Ron Baker and Shaq Morris had 11 points each and No. 25 Wichita State pounded Drake 74-48 on Tuesday night for its 13th win in 14 games.

Thirteen players scored for the Shockers (18-6, 12-1 Missouri Valley Conference). They moved within two victories of clinching at least a share of its third straight league title — with three straight home games up next.

“We got more stops.

We were able to get out in transition,” said Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall, whose team lost at Illinois State 58-53 last weekend. “We had good flow.”

That proved to be easy for the Shockers against the Valley’s worst team.

Wichita State never trailed, and rattled off a 27-5 run to close the first half in beating the Bulldogs for the ninth straight time.

Reed Timmer scored 20 points for Drake (6-19, 1-12), which lost for the 15th time in 17 games.

“Any mistake you make against a team like that, they’re going to make you pay,” Drake coach Ray Giacoletti said.

Wichita State was coming off just its second Valley loss in three seasons.

The woeful Bulldogs didn’t stand a chance against a Shockers team seeking a measure of redemption.

Drake hung in for a few minutes, even closing within 17-16 at one point midway through the first half. But the Shockers tightened up their defense and spread the ball around, getting baskets from nine players in the first half to pull away.

Wichita State went 7 of 12 from 3-point range in the opening half, while Drake went 1 of 16 from the field and failed to score in the final 5:23 before halftime.

Marshall went to his bench liberally in the second half, allowing players who typically don’t play much to put some shots up.

“When healthy, I think we’re one of the most balanced teams around,” Marshall said. “We’ve got a lot of guys who can put the ball in the basket.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Blake Griffin was suspended four games without pay on Tuesday for punching a team staff member, and the Los Angeles Clippers will dock the star forward’s pay for an additional game because he broke his shooting hand.

In all, Griffin will lose $859,442 from his season salary of $18,907,725.

A team spokesman said the suspension will begin when Griffin is healthy, cleared to play and active. He was expected to be out four-to-six weeks while his hand heals from the Jan. 23 altercation in Toronto.

The spokesman said the fine was issued by the Clippers, with the NBA assisting in the investigation of the incident as well as in the disciplinary process.

diate comment from Griffin. He has been off Twitter since Jan. 26 when he posted an apology on the social media site, where he is a frequent user. He and Testi are friends and Griffin described him as “someone I care about.”

A person with knowledge of the incident said last month that Griffin and Testi got into an argument during dinner that escalated. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the Clippers had not confirmed those details publicly. Rivers said later that both men had been drinking.

Griffin was averaging 23.2 points, 8.7 rebounds and 5.0 assists before being sidelined.

He missed being selected to the All-Star game in Toronto for the first time in his six-year career because of his absence.

an elbow that clipped Mason in the chin and was assessed a flagrant foul. So after Phillip airballed his free throw, Mason made one at the other end to start another Kansas run.

Ellis finished it off with a 3-pointer that made it 70-58 with 3:21 to go.

Despite a few sloppy moments down the stretch, the Jayhawks were able to coax the final minutes off the clock to remain perfect against West Virginia in four games at Allen Fieldhouse.

“I thought we got punked in Morgantown,” Kansas coach Bill Self said. “What I take away from this is we played more like men than we did when we went to Morgantown.”

Mason and Devonte Graham taking it all the way to the rim.

Kansas built a 36-24 lead late in the first half, but Tarik Phillip threw in a prayer off his own miss and Paige curled in a 3-pointer at the buzzer to slice into the Mountaineers’ deficit.

The Jayhawks used a 13-2 run early in the second half to take a 53-40 lead, their biggest of the game. But the Mountaineers finally got some traction with their press, forcing turnovers on four straight possessions, and slowly trimmed the lead to 54-50 with about 8 minutes left in the game.

The decisive point may have come moments later, when Phillip was fouled while driving to the basket. He whipped

gins said. “You can’t miss that many transition opportunities. We had all kinds of transition opportunities and we didn’t convert one.”

Unlike their meeting in Morgantown, the Jayhawks were the ones who dominated the first half Tuesday night. They committed six turnovers — they had 22 total in the first game — and shut down West Virginia at the other end, which prevented the Mountaineers from getting into their pressure defense.

“It wasn’t all them,” Huggins said. “You have to give us credit, too, for screwing the game up.”

Quickly out-letting the ball after every defensive rebound, the Jayhawks rushed up court before the Mountaineers could retreat, often with

“We knew we weren’t too far out of it,” Lucas said. “We handled business, but now we have a big one Saturday. We’re just going to get mentally prepared to go down there and win.”

Devin Williams had 14 points and nine rebounds, and Jaysean Paige also scored 14 points for the Mountaineers — though their leading scorer was just 5 of 16 from the field.

Ballmer and Rivers, who also is president of basketball operations, said Griffin is eager to get back to work, which starts immediately with rehab, appearances and attendance at games.

Griffin has been away from the team since he punched assistant equipment manager Matias Testi last month.

Testi has yet to rejoin the team, although he is expected to at some point.

The Clippers are 18-4 without Griffin, who has been out since Dec. 26 with a partially torn left quadriceps tendon.

He was close to returning from that injury when he punched Testi, who sustained multiple facial injuries. Both men were sent back to Los Angeles, where Griffin underwent a procedure on his hand.

The Clippers end a four-game road trip Wednesday night in Boston before the AllStar break this weekend. They resume play with a four-game homestand starting Feb. 18 against San Antonio.

The Clippers will donate Griffin’s salary from the five games to charities that help disadvantaged youth in Los Angeles. The team said Griffin asked to donate his time to the organizations.

“We have made it clear that this conduct has no place in the Clippers organization,” team owner Steve Ballmer and coach Doc Rivers said in a joint statement. “Blake is remorseful and has apologized for his actions. He is a valued member of our Clippers family and we support him as he

Humboldt splits varsity games NEODESHA — Determined not to replicate one of their most exasperating losses of the season, Humboldt High’s Cubs stuck to the basics Tuesday night.

In so doing, Humboldt pulled away in the second half to down host Neodesha, 66-48.

In girls action, the Lady Cubs dropped a nailbiter, falling 42-38.

The victory was a far cry from the teams’ first matchup in late December, in which Humboldt was afflicted with turnovers, missed layups and poor free throw shooting in a 44-43 setback.

This time, the Cubs held down their turnovers, found a balanced scoring attack — and perhaps most importantly — shot a sizzling 12 of 14 from the line in the fourth quarter.

“I thought the guys did a good job in the second half,” Cub head coach David Taylor said.

“We weren’t as good defensively in the first half against their dribbledrive offense.”

The Cubs led 30-29 before breaking things open with a 16-5 thirdquarter spurt.

Clutch free throw shooting allowed Hum-

boldt to build on its 4634 cushion down the stretch.

Perhaps most gratifying was the shooting of senior reserve Corey Whitcomb, who hit all six of his free throw attempts in the fourth quarter.

“Corey has been putting in a lot of time after practice with this free throws,” Taylor said.

“That’s who they were trying to foul. I’m extremely happy for him.

“Coach (Mike) Casteel told me after the game that Corey’s work was the epitome of high school basketball.”

Whitcomb wasn’t the only star on this night.

A couple of old standbys, senior Rhett Smith and junior Rayce Hoepker, did much of the heavy lifting. Smith had 18 points, eight rebounds and three assists, while Hoepker had 19 points, three assists and two steals. Jake Haviland chipped in with 13 points.

Bryce Isaac pulled down five boards.

“Rayce would get hot, so they’d focus on him, and that seemed to open things up for Rhett. Jake had a strong game for us. Tyler Korte gave us some good quality minutes.”

Drew Stover, Colton Cunningham and Justin Canterbury scored 12, 11 and 10 points, respectively, to pace the Bluestreaks.

The win lifts the Cubs to 14-4 overall and 7-1 in Tri-Valley League.

THE

LADY

CUBS

started out quickly, leading 16-10 after one period, but could not sustain the momentum. Neodesha closed the gap to 24-19 at the break before outscoring Humboldt 14-5 in the third quarter to take a 33-29 lead.

“We overcame being in foul trouble and really worked to get some big stops and rebounds that we needed,” Lady Cub head coach Aubrey Jones said. “Our biggest problem was that we played not to lose at the end rather than going to attack and get the win.”

Tilar Wells led Humboldt with 14 points, and Annalise Whitcomb scored 10. Makaylah McCall scored 8 before fouling out. The Lady Cubs were ice-cold from the charity stripe, hitting just 4 of 15 attempts.

Alyson Potter’s 21 led Neodesha.

The Lady Cubs fell to 13-4 (4-3 in TVL).

IN JUNIOR varsity action, Humboldt’s boys prevailed, 36-29, behind Tucker Hurst’s nine points. The Lady Cub JV won, 35-28. Aricah McCall led with 10.

Humboldt returns home Friday to host Fredonia.

seconds left in the half were all the Mustangs could muster.

Trent Phelps drained a 3-pointer early in the second quarter to give the Buffalos a 7-4 lead, part of a 10-0 Buffalo run.

Phelps’ circus shot at the buzzer gave Prairie View an 18-8 lead at the break.

Joey Zimmerman and Fawson drained 3-pointers in the third quarter, but all they could do was draw Iola as close as 7.

The Buffalos led 2818 after three.

Another Fawson trey cut the deficit to 30-23 with about 5 minutes left in the game.

But the Buffalos hit 8 of 10 free throws from there to stay safely in front. Iola

went scoreless after Fawson’s trey.

“We’ve got to do the little things well,” Applegate said. “We had 21 turnovers tonight,” Applegate said. “Most of those were unforced — bad passes, bad decisions.

But it wasn’t just bad passes. We also didn’t do a good job of coming to meet the ball.

We didn’t rebound well. Overall, it was a pretty blah night.”

Fawson led Iola with 12 points, followed by Holloway with 4 points, Zimmerman with 3 and Taylor and Sigg with 2 each.

Phelps scored 11 and Hunter Bowman 9 to lead the way for Prairie View.

The Iola Register

From geyser to weak stream: Monitoring your waterworks Dear Dr. Roach: I am an 85-year-old male and am having trouble with frequent trips to the bathroom and a weak stream. I was prescribed 0.4 mg of tamsulosin daily, which worked very well. However, my blood pressure dropped significantly, with the systolic measurement in the 90s and sometimes in the 80s.

Standing was always accompanied by lightheadedness. I stopped taking the tamsulosin and my BP went back to its normal systolic mea-

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health surement of 120-130. Is there another drug that would help me without lowering my BP? At my age, I want to avoid surgery if at all possible.

— D.W.R. Answer: Tamsulosin (Flomax) is in the class of medications called alpha blockers, which

originally were used to treat high blood pressure. The earliest drugs in this class had much more blood pressure effect than tamsulosin, but I still do see some men who have a significant drop in their blood pressure. This can cause lightheadedness, especially on standing, and I have had several men fall on their way to the bathroom (I recommend sitting up for a minute or so before standing).

Yours is a much larger drop than I usually see, so I think tamsu-

losin probably isn’t a good choice for you, nor would be any of the alpha blockers. Although they are slow to take effect, the dihydrotestosterone blockers dutasteride and finasteride do not usually have the bl o o d - p re s s u re - d ro p ping effect. Another choice is saw palmetto, which is an over-thecounter supplement that may have benefits similar to these medicines without so many side effects (the studies are conflicting). But ask your doctor.

Husband’s cloddish behavior may be sign of what’s to come Dear Carolyn: Whenever we visit my husband’s family (2 or 3 times per year) he spends the entire time drinking excessively with his friends. I always feel neglected and hurt.

I’m all for giving him some space to see his friends but he literally leaves the house all day, so I’m with his parents for hours alone with no car. Now we have a baby and the last two times we visited, he got so drunk every night that I can barely talk about those visits without crying.

For six-plus years I’ve cried, gotten angry, and begged him to change his behavior when we visit. Clearly his behavior isn’t going to change.

Tell Me About It Carolyn Hax But my current response is to not visit his family. Which is an ultimatum. So where do I go from here? When we aren’t visiting his family, he’s a warm, involved, and wonderful father and husband who occasionally has a couple of beers. I don’t know where this person goes once we cross the town line.

— Neglected and Hurt Neglected and Hurt: Not going with him on these visits is the right answer to the

immediate problem of his dumping you to go drink. It’s not an ultimatum, by the way — it’s a consequence. An ultimatum would be, “If you keep stranding me at your parents’ house to go binge-drink, then I will [punitive action here].”

But your excusing yourself from these trips addresses only the narrow issue of his transforming into a raging [butt]hat the moment he crosses his parents’ threshold.

The wider issue is the one possibly waiting to pounce on you, which is actually a double: his drinking to such excess, and his acting in such brutal self-interest.

Maybe what happens in Hometown really,

really stays in Hometown, but I tend to believe that people use their various capacities throughout their lives.

So someone who has a seemingly bottomless capacity for hard work, for example, may not work hard at absolutely everything, but that capacity will likely show itself in more than one area of his or her life.

So how else does this weak and thoughtless side of him express itself ? If it hasn’t, yet, then I imagine we’re both wondering when it will, and to what end.

Please insist on seeing a good marriage counselor. I’d be very curious how he explains himself to a disinterested third party.
