Hotel pitches Iola site

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

A developer will speak Monday with Iola City Council members about his plans to build a new hotel on the east edge of town.

Bill Michaud has acquired a franchise agreement to build and manage Iola Sleep Inn & Suites.

The $4.5 million project will be built on property owned by Bill McAdam, just east of Bill’s Way and near the U.S. 169-U.S. 54 bypass.

Michaud owns the Fort Scott Sleep Inn, which opened its doors in 2015.

According to a fact sheet prepared for the Council, the hotel would have 55-60 rooms, an indoor pool, fitness center,

Employers weigh in on the need for soft skills training

By SHELLIE SMITLEY The Iola Register

Allen Community College is leading the way with the development of a soft skills program aimed at a workforce that, according to local employers, falls short of necessary training.

The 24-credit certificate, still in its infancy, will not be geared toward students earning a degree.

“College education is gen-

erally thought to embed these skills into the curriculum,” said Jon Marshall, vice president of academic af- Jon Marshall fairs.

Instead, the program will be designed to complement the hard skills workers already possess, and help prepare those who are searching for employment.

Kobach would crack down on aliens if elected governor

By DAN MARGOLIES and SAM ZEFF The Associated Press

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who catapulted to national prominence on the strength of his anti-immigration views, announced his candidacy for Kansas governor Thursday.

Kobach made the announcement two days after Kansas lawmakers voted to override Gov. Sam Brownback’s veto of a tax package that would raise $1.2 billion over the next two years — a rejection of Brownback’s signature 2012 tax cuts.

Kobach denounced the vote and said Kansas had a spending problem, not a revenue problem. Although he didn’t mention Brownback by name, he in effect aligned himself with the governor by categorically rejecting tax increases to patch the state’s budget hole, estimated at $900 million over the next two years.

“We have a Legislature that on Tuesday passed the largest tax increase in state history,” he said. “It’s outrageous. … This is the time we do not want to be taking policies that are going to reduce growth.”

Flanked by his wife and five young daughters, Kobach said this was “absolutely the worst time for the worst tax increase in our state’s history. We’re going in the wrong direction. That tax hits working people, it hurts the working poor, it hurts the middle class, it

hurts everyone.”

“When I am governor, I will fight against every attempt to raise taxes Kris Kobach on the people of Kansas,” he said.

‘Protecting Americans’ Kobach, a Republican, announced his candidacy for the 2018 election in the Thompson Barn in Lenexa, an event space on the old Lackman-Thompson estate.

A throng of reporters, photographers and Kobach supporters crammed into the space as Kobach spoke for nearly 30 minutes.

Kobach last month was appointed by President Donald Trump as vice chair of a presidential commission on voter fraud and suppression. At his announcement Thursday, he cited illegal immigration, along with taxation and corruption, as one of three problems “that illustrate how bad it is in Topeka.”

“It’s not just that the illegal alien takes your job, it’s that the illegal aliens in that industry depress wages so that everybody who is still working in that industry is working for less,” Kobach said. “So it’s about protecting Americans, putting Americans first.”

In his speech, Kobach said “illegal aliens” were costing Kansas $424 million See KOBACH | Page A8

Quote of the day Vol. 119, No. 158

The definition of soft skills differs in varying parts of the workforce based on the type of industry.

“But in general what folks are talking about is effective written and oral communication,” Marshall said. “Public speaking or interpersonal communications is often part of that training,” in addition to computer literacy and “some type of leadership or an introduction-to-business course.”

According to Marshall, area businesses confirmed the need training in soft skills.

“Many employers will tell us that folks may be trained well in a certain skill, but to move up into supervisory positions the requirement of communication skills or some sort of computer literacy is needed,” Marshall said.

The college’s tentative plan is to offer the program with “the full weight of a mean-

ingful certificate” by next year. Currently no certificate structure for soft skills exists in Kansas. ACC is taking the lead and working with the Kansas Board of Regents to define that structure.

“We’re excited to explore this,” Marshall said. “We think it’s a very good idea.”

Terri Piazza, an ACC communications instructor, will lead the effort.

Trump tweets ‘total vindication’ WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Friday broke his silence on Twitter following explosive testimony by fired FBI Director James Comey, declaring “total and complete vindication.”

Trump’s Twitter account had been quiet throughout Comey’s testimony accusing the administration of spreading “lies.” But a day after the closely watched hearing, Trump struck back with an early morning tweet: “Wow, Comey is a leaker.”

Trump was expected to face journalists later Friday in a joint news conference with Romanian President Klaus Iohannis, who is visiting the White House.

While Trump might feel vindicated, Comey’s reputation as a truth-teller didn’t seem to take a hit. In his testimony, Comey detailed months of distrust of the president and bluntly asserted that Trump had fired

him to interfere with the probe of Russia’s ties to the Trump campaign.

H o u s e Speaker Paul Donald Trump Ryan tried to brush off the conclusion as Trump being new to the White House, but Sen. Susan Collins, a moderate Republican, said Congress needs to obtain any tapes the president might have of his dealings with the former FBI director. She called Comey an “honorable individual.”

“I found him to be credible, candid and thorough,” Collins said of Comey on MSNBC's “Morning Joe.” Also in his testimony, Comey revealed that he’d orchestrated the public release of information about his private conversations with the president in an effort to further the investigation.

Trump’s tweet read: “De-

spite so many false statements and lies, total and complete vindication ... and WOW, Comey is a leaker.”

Collins, a member of the Senate intelligence committee, which is investigating Russia’s interference in the 2016 election, said Comey’s motivation “may have been a good one.” But, she said, he was wrong to leak his notes to the public and should have given that document to her panel.

Comey’s testimony provided a gripping account of his interactions with Trump and underscored the discord that had soured their relationship.

He portrayed Trump as a chief executive dismissive of the FBI’s independence and made clear that he interpreted Trump’s request to end an investigation into his former national security adviser as an order coming from the president.

Mock accidents aid in officer’s training

By SHELLIE SMITLEY The Iola Register

HUMBOLDT — This is part 11 of a 14-part series following Nina Froggatte’s journey through police training at the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center, Hutchinson.

Froggatte’s class focused on collision investigation last week using mock auto accidents from which the

students diagramed the scenes.

Three types of collisions were staged.

“Hazardous material has to be handled a certain way, passengers have to be handled a different way and whether or not someone was a pedestrian versus somebody on a bike is handled differently,” Froggatte said.

Froggatte learned how to estimate a vehicle’s speed

Wells relates Argentinian experience

By BOB JOHNSON The Iola Register

Disagreements and proprietary concerns among agencies and countries are facts of everyday life, Jon Wells told Iola Rotarians Thursday.

Wells, a political science instructor at Allen Community College, city councilman and candidate for mayor in the November election, said he spent four months in Argentina as part of a counter-terrorism effort. That was

in 2004 when alQaeda was at its peak of violence from its interpret a t i o n Jon Wells of the Quran.

Wells’s mission, with others on behalf of the United States, came after a Jewish embassy and religion center were bombed in Argentina.

He mentioned the much-reported chasm between such key U.S.

intelligence-gathering and crime-fighting agencies as the FBI and CIA, which came starkly to light after 9/11. He found the same true of other countries, including the United Kingdom, France, Italy, in his role in Argentina.

Parts of Argentina, and its adjoining neighbors, are mountainous, covered with thick jungle and home to terrorist cells and others, just as abysmal, who plot lucrative ways to break the law and escape arrest and prosecution,

Wells informed. Routing those evil-doers is an exhaustive, never-ending chore.

His four months in Argentina provided Wells with experiences and knowledge that he occasionally uses to enliven political science lessons for ACC students.

If elected mayor — he faces no opposition to date — Wells may find useful those lessons learned from abroad, i.e., working together is the far better approach.

May vows to stay, despite election losses LONDON (AP) — Spectacularly punished by voters who took away her majority in Parliament, a politically wounded but defiant Theresa May soldiered on Friday as Britain’s prime minister, resisting pressure to resign after the failure of a highstakes election gamble that made the massive challenge of untangling Britain from the European Union only more complex and uncertain.

Having called an early election in hopes of getting an increased majority that could have strengthened her hand in Britain’s exit talks with the EU, May instead saw her majority evaporate completely — leaving her fortunes hanging by a thread and dark clouds over the Brexit negotiations just 10 days before they are due to start.

She insisted that she would stick to the Brexit timetable. But she was forced into an alliance with a small party in Northern Ireland just to stay in power.

Grim-faced, May said her Conservatives and the Democratic Unionist Party would work together to “provide certainty and lead Britain forward at this critical time.”

“This government will guide the country through the crucial Brexit talks ... and deliver on the will of the British people by taking the United Kingdom out of the European Union,” she said after seeking Queen Elizabeth II’s approval — a

May’s snap election call was the second time that a Conservative gamble on the issue of Britain’s relations with Europe backfired.

Her predecessor, David Cameron, first asked British voters to decide in 2016 whether to leave the EU. Cameron, gambling that Britons wouldn’t want to sever their network of ties with the continent, had promised the Brexit referendum during a 2015 election campaign that gave Conservatives a surprise Parliamentary majority.

When voters stunned him and Europe by voting to leave, he resigned, leaving May to deal with the mess.

The latest election shock is “yet another own goal” that will make “already complex negotiations even more

complicated,” said the European Parliament’s top Brexit official, Guy Verhofstadt.

With 649 of 650 seats in the House of Commons declared, May’s bruised Conservatives had 318 — short of the 326 they needed for an outright majority and well down from the 330 seats they had before May’s roll of the electoral dice.

Rather than resign, May quickly grabbed the lifeline of an undefined alliance with the DUP, which won 10 seats. But even that arrangement

seemed shaky. After May went through the largely symbolic process of seeking the queen’s approval for the new government, DUP leader Arlene Foster said the two parties were in discussions, but offered no details.

In May’s camp, recriminations were immediate and stinging.

“This is a very bad moment for the Conservative Party, and we need to take stock,” Conservative lawmaker Anna Soubry said. “Our leader needs to take stock as well.”

Soft Skills: Inability to converse has generational divide

Continued from A1

ers from B&W Trailer Hitches, Sonic Equipment Company and Russell Stover Chocolates confirmed the need for such training, however, in all three cases it was thought that soft skills begin long before someone’s computer skills, for example, are evaluated. While communication skills hovered at the top of their lists, the HR directors said many could not adequately fill out job application forms or know how to dress for a job interview, tasks all of them considered to be soft skills.

B&W Trailer Hitches HR Manager Juliana Stevenson, Clerk Shannon Sigg, and Safety Manager Dan Willis work as a team to recruit new employees. They feel strongly about the need to educate young people regarding the expectations of potential employers. Soft skills inadequacies are typically divided by generation, they said.

Members of the baby boomer

It is going to take all of us to grow this young workforce.

— Juliana Stevenson, B&W Trailer Hitches

generation are generally better equipped than millennials, who tend to lack the confidence to present themselves positively during interviews.

Failure to introduce themselves, a lack of direct eye contact and neglecting to put their cell phones away are shortcomings that younger applicants often demonstrate.

Sigg said she believes the gap in communication skills can be blamed in part on technology.

“A lot of (the younger applicants) don’t know how to sit down and have a conversation with another live person,” she said.

The lack of confidence is evident once they are hired as well. The inability to make decisions without asking for continual guidance is a soft skill that Stevenson said she

Left to right, Shannon Sigg, Juliana Stevenson and Dan Willis of B&W Trailer Hitches. REGISTER/ SHELLIE SMITLEY

sees too often.

Generation X’ers remain divided, she said. The closer in age they are to baby boomers the better equipped they are.

B&W has started giving tours to high school and technical college students. An introduction to the company is given along with tips on how to land a job.

“We have noticed that (soft skills) are not necessarily learned or taught in any high school studies,” Stevenson said. “It is going to take all of us to grow this young workforce.”

Waiting until the high school years to introduce soft skills may be too late, though. All three team members agreed that preparation should begin during the middle school years.

“We have to understand that parental involvement has to be there from the start,” Stevenson said. “You have to start preparing your child for the workforce when they are 9, 10, 11 to get them to where they are going to need to be. ” Failing to fill out an application in its entirety and not providing contact information for references are surefire ways to get overlooked.

“People don’t take the time to learn how to spell anymore or they shorten everything,” Sigg said. “You can definitely see it in the applications.”

Suits and ties are not the expected attire for an interview at the manufacturing plant, however personal hygiene is

a prevalent non-generational problem. Absenteeism and tardiness are also considered to be a lack of soft skills.

“People need to understand that soft skills are the way everything in life is approached,” Stevenson said.

“It’s OK to be nervous during an interview, but somebody who slouches down in their chair or sits back and rocks or chews gums, those are soft skills that need to be taught somewhere.”

Checking social media postings are part of the applicant-screening process. Negative, crude or discriminatory comments will be considered a deficit of soft skills.

“It goes back to your decisionm a k i n g a b i l i t i e s, ” S t eve n s o n said.

“We need to get Angel Kaufman back to being respectful.”

The company provides training in areas like communication to employees who are looking to advance to lead positions, but all three human resource workers agreed that applicants with a soft skills certificate would be highly regarded.

“They are trying to make themselves better,” Willis said “That is what we want.”

Sonic Equipment Company Angel Kaufman, HR officer, said ACC conducted soft

skills training at the cinema installation company after they developed a new call center.

“Our need here was verbal soft skills, an over-the-phone type thing,” she said. “Some of the phone etiquette skills were being missed.”

Written communication skills are also essential to a company that utilizes email as a primary way to correspond with customers.

Similar to B&W, Kaufman said she sees a lack of soft skills when it comes to filling out applications.

“If you take the time then, we are going to take the time to look at it,” she said.

Failure to sign an application is seen as an inability to follow through on assignments.

Poor hygiene at interviews is not an uncommon problem and many times applicants show up late. Some prospective employees dress in shorts, jeans, T-shirts or flip-flops, none of which are acceptable. Kaufman said offering explanations for why someone did not have time to change before the scheduled appointment is a soft skill.

“You can let the interviewer know ahead of time that you are going to be coming straight from work,” she said.

Kaufman, like the B&W crew, said there are defi- Jessica Collier cits in soft skills that are defined by gen-

eration. She finds that the millennial generation has a tendency to be unable to prioritize and to stay on task.

Taking good notes is also an issue.

“I was taught that in school,” she said.

Soft skills lessons were also taught at home. Her mother always encouraged her to “dress for success.”

Kaufman’s theory for why young people are so ill-equipped is because of a breakdown in family structure where face-to-face interaction has been lost.

“People need that communication, that sit-down-atdinner with no cell phones involved,” she said. “A lot of people don’t do that anymore.”

Often it is difficult to inspire interviewees to answer questions with more than a “yes” or “no.”

A soft skills certificate would be impressive, but only in conjunction with an application that was neat and filled out completely, Kaufman said.

Russell Stover Chocolates Human Resources Manager Jessica Collier relocated from Fort Scott in August.

She said soft-skills abilities in Allen County are consistent with what she experienced in Bourbon County.

“Southeast Kansas has a lot of the same demographics across the board,” she said.

Communication, interviewing skills, absenteeism and tardiness and the lack of leadership skills top the list of problem areas. Shorts and flip-flops along with “yes” and “no” answers are commonplace. The inability to elaborate affects written communication skills as well. She also said answers on applications are too short and resumes are seldom attached. Often a lack of professional social skills are interpreted as disrespectful.

Russell Stover offers leadership training for supervisors.

A soft skills certificate would be beneficial to the community, Collier said.

“Soft skills are great for everybody to learn how to improve in their profession,” she said.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Honey, not vinegar, attracts supporters Local school district officials could win some fans if they invited public input in regards to the petition they have filed in district court to review the will of Thomas H. Bowlus.

At Tuesday’s hearing, Judge Robert Fairchild granted local citizens Jim Gilpin and Fred Works the right to present written testimony, but, per the school district’s request, denied them the opportunity to discuss the matter in court.

Taking into account the sensitivity of the matter — the Bowlus means many things to many people — school officials should ask the judge to invite Works and Gilpin to present their arguments in person.

The judge reasoned that Melissa Dugan, a Chanute attorney, who has been appointed as guardian ad litem, would represent the community in court. Dugan, however, said that role inherently presents a conflict because the community includes the school district and had no intention of presenting what may be conflicting opinions.

In essence this means outsiders are without representation.

That Gilpin and Works can give written testimony is better than nothing, but falls far short of what is needed to satisfy those who fear the school district may, some day, decide to quit their obligation to the fine arts center as dictated in the will of Mr. Bowlus.

If Judge Fairchild opens the door to the open-ended questions raised in the petition, including, can school board officials (1) step down as trustees of the Bowlus; (2) remove high school classes entirely from the Bowlus, and (3) stop pay-

Susan Lynn Register editor ments for use of the Bowlus — will they walk through?

That’s the great, and unsettling, unknown.

What if Judge Fairchild rules the trustees, as they argue in their petition, have the right to use the Bowlus as they deem appropriate, and it’s used instead for a district wide preschool?

Does that stay true to the wishes of Mr. Bowlus?

Why establish a trust if future generations can disregard its intentions?

Of particular concern is the school district’s request that the legal preparation and defense of its petition be paid for out of the Bowlus trust, money left by Mr. Bowlus and others to keep the building and its programs in operation.

Allowing the school district to use the trust’s funds to pay for its legal defense may cause potential donors to question whether to leave gifts to the Bowlus.

To date, legal expenses amount to $25,555, according to Jack Koehn, USD 257 superintendent of schools.

TO HELP foster better relations, the school board’s attorney should contact Judge Fairchild and say, “Hey, this is not going in a good direction. We welcome the public to join us in this discussion.”

No matter the judge’s ultimate decisions, that would be the win-win approach.

Dad died remembering soldier’s plea As the pre-dawn mist cleared, an armada, thousands of ships strong, materialized off the Normandy coast 73 years ago Tuesday just past. Cloudy skies and a 50-degree chill greeted an Allied force about to swarm the historic area of France Operation Overlord was underway.

Among U.S. soldiers was one from Iola, his 5-foot4 frame sagging under the weight of a bag crammed with morphine, sulfa-based antibiotic and bandages. My dad, a medic, had trained for this day at Fitzsimons General Hospital in Denver.

Dad landed at Utah Beach on June 6, 1944, a short distance from the famed Omaha Beach, where more than 2,000 young U.S. soldiers were killed the first day while crossing a 100-yard stretch of low-tide sand, showered by a deadly barrage of German bullets.

Those surging onto Utah had the protection of marshes, thus for the most part enemy fire was absent.

Canadian, British and Free French troops simultaneously landed on Juno, Gold and Sword beaches.

Dad took comfort in the U.S. losing only 12 soldiers during the Utah landing. Soon after, however, he and other medics were swamped by scores of wounded, coming in an un-

At Week’s End Bob Johnson

ending stream.

Shortly before he died in 1997, Dad still was troubled, he told me one night as I sat at his bedside in Allen County Hospital; it was the haunting remembrance of a young soldier he had treated.

“He looked like he was 15 of 16,” Dad recalled; I noticed a string of tears welling from the corner of an eye. “That boy looked up at me and said, ‘Don’t let me die.’ I knew he wouldn’t make it back across the (English) Channel.” The young soldier’s internal injuries were massive; his blood pressure barely registered; his face a deathly pallor.

That was only one of the sad tales Dad could have told about the first 48 hours — during which he and others worked without break — as they tried to stabilize the wounded so they could be rushed to hospitals in England.

Another of Dad’s memories was the blood. His large medical station tent was on the backside of Utah Beach and

An elegy for Brownback’s tax experiment It had been dying for some time, now is dead. Governor Sam Brownback’s tax experiment has been laid to rest. An ill-fated chapter of Kansas political history has come to a close.

A bipartisan coalition of state lawmakers axed the exemption of 330,000 business from income taxes and rescinded provisions for the complete elimination of state income taxes. They did so by overriding the veto of an obstructive governor.

As a newly elected governor in 2011 Brownback embraced the discredited, taxcut dogma of Arthur Laffer in the misguided belief that tax cuts would dramatically stimulate economic growth.

He told a friendly audience that cutting income tax rates would generate even more revenue for government.

Soon after the governor elevated the bluster. His tax cuts would give “a shot of adrenaline in the heart of the Kansas economy.” “We’ll have a real live experiment.”

“Look out Texas. Here comes Kansas!” “Glide path to zero.”

Brownback made the most serious tactical blunder of his governorship in 2012. He

Edward Flentje Insight Kansas refused to negotiate with centrist Republicans on taxes and subsequently doublecrossed them by signing a deeply flawed tax bill. That bill cut income tax revenues by nearly $5 billion over five years, made no reduction in spending, and sent the state careening from one financial crisis to the next.

The governor’s own hubris, coupled with the Kansas State Chamber’s demand that income taxes be eliminated, compelled his huge misstep.

But Brownback doubled down and joined in the Chamber’s purge of mainstream Republicans and Democrats in 2012 and 2014. A handful of businesses led by Koch Industries of Wichita poured cash into the Chamber’s campaign war chest.

Brownback fanaticized of Kansas as a national model of red-state governance; his dream would draw media at-

tention from across the nation. In campaigning for reelection he proclaimed: “The sun is shining in Kansas and don’t let anybody tell you any different.” But a few days after the 2014 election he would acknowledge that the state had sunk into a financial abyss.

The governor promoted financial fixes in 2013, 2015, 2016, and 2017 — all designed to preserve his beloved experiment: spend down balances, increase taxes on consumers, borrow money, and shortchange core services — schools, universities, highways, public pensions, and other essentials.

A general fund balance of $700 million was spent to zero.

Two sales tax increases gave Kansas the highest sales tax on food in the nation. Property taxes jumped as well. Proceeds from long-term, record breaking highway bonds, totaling $850 million, were siphoned off to pay for tax cuts.

Growth rates trailed the region and the nation. The 201617 budget deficit ballooned to $300 million.

Kansans had seen enough.

Brownback’s approval ratings plummeted to the lowest

among the nation’s governors. In 2016 voters rebuked the governor and elected a new class of centrist Republicans and Democrats who campaigned to end the experiment. Forty contested seats changed hands.

A super-majority of state lawmakers has now abandoned the ideological illusion of eliminating the income tax and restored the three-legged stool of state and local finance that has served Kansas well for nearly a century. This long-standing, bipartisan tax policy strives for relative balance among property, income, and sales taxes and thereby assures lower tax rates overall, reduces tax competition with other states, and provides tax fairness based on income.

Kansans should give a standing applause to those lawmakers, particularly Republican legislators and their leaders, who defied an obstinate governor, returned sanity to state finance, and acted in the best interests of Kansas as a whole. Voters who elected these lawmakers in 2016 deserve a hand as well.

Flentje is professor emeritus at Wichita State University.

within a few hours the sand was saturated with blood: “It squished up to our ankles,” he said.

Dad had had many experiences with death. He worked for Tom Waugh at his Iola funeral home from about the time he and Mom were married in 1939 until he was drafted a few months before I was born in 1943.

After the D-Day Invasion, Dad, an “old man” of 25, was involved in the Breakout, Liberation of Paris, Battle of the Bulge — with Patton’s army — and Battle of the Rhine.

He came home in late 1945 — discharged at Fort Leavenworth and detrained at Durand, east of Yates Center — and within days began a 32-year career at Monarch Cement in Humboldt, rising to production foreman several years before his retirement.

Like so many World War II veterans, he seldom talked about his experiences. He didn’t even seem concerned I lost most of his decorations playing with them as a child.

Although he told me about “the boy” on Utah Beach on his deathbed, I suspect it and similar experiences in the European Theater troubled him all of his life — but only his own mortality caused him to share the most vivid with me.

40 Years Ago June 1977

Iola City Clerk Vic Perkins has been awarded the designation of “Certified Municipal Clerk” for achieving the high educational, experience and service requirements to win the title. Perkins has been city clerk here since 1957. He joins 13 other active Kansas city clerks who presently hold the title. ***** Last spring approximately $160,000 was spent for repairs on the municipal swimming pool. It appears the money was well spent. Officials are predicting a record year in attendance this season. Keith Locke, superintendent of parks, said 7,623 were admitted to the pool during the first 14 days of operation. “One day we had 942 people in there. I think that’s the most we’ve ever had,” he said. ***** Margaret Hanson and son, Dr. David Hanson, are back home in Iola after a flying trip to California in the doctor’s Piper Cherokee. The trip was great, Mrs. Hanson said, but she didn’t care for her role as keeper of the maps.

a year. That information apparently came from the Federation for American Immigration Reform, which the Southern Poverty Law Center has said has ties to white supremacist groups.

Kobach, who is in his second term as Kansas secretary of state, said that as governor he would put an end to socalled sanctuary counties in the state.

“In Kansas, we have

had no efforts to stop illegal immigration,” he said. “In fact Kansas is the sanctuary state of the Midwest. We are the only state in the fivestate area that has done nothing to discourage illegal immigration.”

He also said that under a Kobach administration, students lacking immigration status would not be allowed to pay in-state tuition at Kansas Board of Regents schools.

Trump: Comey releases details Continued from A1

deepened questions about the basis for his May 9 dismissal and about whether Trump’s actions constituted obstruction of justice.

The veteran lawman expressed confidence that could be a matter ripe for investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller, though he declined to offer an opinion on whether it met such a threshold.

Trump’s private attorney, Marc Kasowitz, seized on Comey’s admission that he had told Trump on multiple occasions that he was not personally under investigation and maintained the testimony made clear that Trump “never, in form or substance, directed or suggested that Mr. Comey stop investigating anyone.”

Kasowitz also jumped on Comey's revelation

that he had released details of his private conversations with the president, casting the former FBI director as one of the “leakers” set on undermining the Trump administration.

Still, there was no doubt the veteran lawman made for a challenging adversary.

“It’s my judgment that I was fired because of the Russia investigation,” Comey said toward the end of more than two hours of testimony before the Senate intelligence committee.

“I was fired in some way to change, or the endeavor was to change, the way the Russia investigation was being conducted.

“That is a very big deal, and not just because it involves me.”

At one point he practically dared Trump to release any recordings of their conversations, a prospect the presi-

dent once alluded to in a tweet.

“Lordy, I hope there are tapes,” Comey said, suggesting such evidence would back up his account over the president’s.

The disclosures that followed Comey’s firing have raised questions about why Comey, known in government for an independent streak and a willingness to buck protocol, did not speak out publicly while on the job, or at least make his objections directly known to the president.

Discussing the meeting in which Comey says Trump asked him to back off Flynn, Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California asked, “Why didn’t you stop and say, ‘Mr. President, this is wrong,’?”

“It’s a great question,” Comey replied.

“Maybe if I were stronger I would have.”

Major League Baseball: Astros 6, Royals 1

Herrera takes loss to close series KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Lance McCullers flirted with a no-hitter and the Houston Astros’ offense took control in the ninth inning.

McCullers took a no-hitter into the seventh inning and Jose Altuve hit a two-run homer in a five-run ninth as the Houston Astros beat the Kansas City Royals 6-1 on Thursday night.

“I feel like he’s got no-hit stuff every time he takes the mound,” Astros catcher Brian McCann said. “He’s that kind

of pitcher. He’s a dominant pitcher, and he’s got dominant stuff.”

McCullers and Royals starter Jason Hammel were locked up in a pitcher’s duel for seven innings.

“I thought both pitchers did a tremendous job of pitching efficiently, pitching quickly, getting early count outs,” Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. “They put away hitters quickly. You looked up and they were already in the sixth, seventh and eighth inning.

Credit both pitchers, and then we had an explosive ninth inning. We’ve seen that out of our group.”

Altuve’s ninth home run came off Kelvin Herrera (12) with Josh Reddick, who walked on four pitches to lead off the inning, aboard.

Herrera has yielded seven home runs in 24 1/3 innings after giving up only six in 72 innings last season.

“He’s given up a lot of home See ROYALS | Page B3

Indians rally for victory, Cooper locks down sweep

By JON DYKSTRA The Iola Register

GARNETT — The Post 15 Indians showed that they can win in a variety of ways during their sweep in Garnett on Thursday.

In game one, Garnett built a 6-2 lead after three innings.

Isaac Vink got a rusty start for Iola in his first Legion action for the season.

Vink finished with 2 2/3 innings pitched and allowed six runs — five earned — on 10 hits.

“We went with Isaac to begin the game,” Iola coach Rick Vink said.

“He hadn’t pitched in about a month, after he didn’t pitch much in high school ball. He threw pretty well, but they hit pretty well and we missed some plays we could have made. He

National Football League:

Handling coaches’ critiques is critical for Mahomes’ success

By BLAIR KERKOFF The Kansas City Star

As the information-loading phase continues, the Chiefs are adding more layers to Patrick Mahomes’ game, in and out of the huddle.

“He’s been under the gun, coach Reid gets on him now,” co-offensive coordinator Matt Nagy said. “How does he handle that, the fire? When Coach gets on him, does he handle adversity the right way or

does he go into the tank?

“So far he’s been awesome.”

Updates on Mahomes, as the third week of voluntary offseason practices winds down and mandatory minicamp approaches, remain largely positive.

In the non-contact practices, the Chiefs’ proclaimed quarterback of the future has moments good and bad with misreads that become interceptions and completions with zip that find their target

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The night started with a catfish throw.

It ended with haymaker after haymaker — both literal and proverbial — from Sidney Crosby and the rest of the resilient Pittsburgh Penguins.

The defending champions provided an emphatic reminder of why they’re on the cusp of history with a 6-0 demolition of the Nashville Predators in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final to take a 3-2 lead. Pittsburgh will have a chance to become the first franchise to win back-to-back championships since Detroit in 1998 when the series shifts back to Nashville for Game 6 on Sunday night.

“Still a lot of work to be done but the way we played tonight, if we can build off that momentum, that’s important,” Crosby said after collecting three assists. “We know we’re going to be facing a desperate team.”

One that can’t get back to the creature comforts of Smashville fast enough. The Penguins chased Pekka Rinne with a three-goal barrage in the first period and kept it going against backup Juuse Saros to push the Predators to the brink of elimination for the first time during their run to the final.

“I don’t know if anybody shakes off a game like that that quickly,” Nashville coach Peter Laviolette said. “Nobody

Mahomes’ physical tools drove the Chiefs’ draft-day decision to trade up for his selection.

runs this year,” Royals manager Ned Yost said.

“It goes in cycles, like hitter’s slumps. Pitchers go into slumps, too.”

Herrera retired only one of the five batters he faced and was charged with four runs, three hits and a walk. The inning also included a two-run single by Jake Marisnick.

Lorenzo Cain’s oneout triple in the seventh ended McCuller’s nohit bid. Cain drilled a 3-0 pitch to center. He scored on Mike Moustakas’ two-out single to tie the score.

McCullers walked Jorge Bonifacio with one out in the first, and Alcides Escobar in the sixth for the only base

runners the Royals had before Cain’s triple.

Hammel allowed one run and four hits over seven innings. He walked none and struck out four. Yost said it was a tough decision to remove Hammel after 85 pitches.

“His pitch count was still very manageable,” Yost said. “With no leeway there, I felt like he had done his job and we’d turn it over to the bullpen.”

Yost no longer can motion in Wade Davis and Greg Holland from the bullpen like he did when the Royals went to backto-back World Series in 2014-15.

“Of course, I took them for granted,” Yost said. “Those suckers

were good.”

The only run off Hammel came on a balk in the sixth inning. Nori Aoki hit a ground ball single to left to lead off the inning and went to third on George Springer’s single. Hammel made a move to throw to first and the ball slipped out of his glove.

“I’ve done that pick a thousand times and I’ve never done that,” Hammel said. “I sausage-fingered it and didn’t quite get the handle going into the glove and sure enough, that was the run.”

McCullers was removed after seven innings, permitting one run and two hits, while striking out eight and walking two.

Indians: Five-run seventh leads to comeback win in Garnett Continued from B1

didn’t walk a batter though.�

Cal Leonard took over for Vink in the third inning and kept the Indians in the game while the team’s offense struggled to regain momentum. “Cal kept us in the game,� Vink said. “I kept telling the kids, ‘It isn’t over. We are going to start hitting.’�

Two innings passed and the score remained 6-2 entering the sixth inning.

Clutch hitting by two batters, who had experienced the most offensive struggles near the end of the high school season, gave the team a jolt in the top of the sixth.

With two outs and Lance Daniels on first, Kane Rogers laced a double to center field and Daniels scored to get the Indians within three runs. “I feel a little more relaxed and a little more comfortable,�

Rogers said. “I’m seeing more pitches and I feel really good out there.�

After Leonard drew a walk, Ben Cooper came to the plate. Cooper’s batting average was below the .200 mark for much of Mustangs’ high school season.

With the Legion season starting, that gives Cooper a clean slate and he embraced that opportunity by planting a single into right field and scoring Rogers while Leonard scampered to third.

The Indians attempted to steal another run with a double steal a batter later.

Cooper broke for second and drew a throw.

After the throw was released, Leonard attempted to steal home. Garnett wasn’t caught off-guard, however, and easily threw Leonard out.

Leonard kept the momentum going with his strong pitching and turned in a 1-2-3 sixth inning to keep the Indians within 6-4. “We had been struggling, but Cal came in and held his own,� Rogers said. “He helped us a lot.�

After an out to begin the inning, Vink and Blake Ashmore each collected their third hits of the game to set the table for third baseman Derek Bycroft to rope a double into center field, plate both runners and tie the game at 6-6. “It is nice to see Isaac and Derek getting hot again,� Vink said.

After Garnett was

able to record a second out, the suddenly clutch Indians struck again.

Daylon Splane walked and Ethan Tavarez got what would end up being the game-winning hit with a double to left field that scored Splane and Bycroft.

Rogers connected on his second RBI double of the day to give Iola a 9-6 lead going into the bottom of the seventh. “It felt good to lift my team up with a couple of doubles and get that win,� Rogers said.

That was more than enough for Leonard who turned in another 1-2-3 inning and finished his 4 1/3 shutout innings with only one hit and no walks.

GAME TWO In the second game, Cooper took the mound for the first time as an Indian. The Iola graduate is taking this opportunity to play one more season with his high school teammates. “I wanted to get one more taste of competitive sports,� Cooper said. “In the past, we’ve always had football and basketball and I focused on those. It is good to get out here and play with my brothers.�

The Second Team AllState selection was very strong despite allowing a run in the first inning. “I feel like we are ninedeep on this team with our pitching,� Vink said. “My challenge is going to be to get guys enough innings. It is tough, but we will have some tournaments where we are going to need everybody.

I am really happy with where we are at.�

Cooper finished the five-inning game with just the one run allowed on two hits with two strikeouts and a pair of walks. The Indians took a 3-1 win with their offense rallying again. “I felt really good,�

Cooper said. “I feel like I’m good to go for the rest of the season. My arm feels good.�

The Indians tied the game in the second inning when Splane dou-

NHL: Pens win 6-0 Continued from B1

feels good leaving the building playing the way we did.”

All the good mojo Rinne generated while helping Nashville rally to tie the series at 2 vanished in a span of 20 minutes. Justin Schultz beat Rinne just 91 seconds in, Bryan Rust and Evgeni Malkin followed before the first period horn sounded, continuing Rinne’s baffling inability to play effectively in Pittsburgh during the series. Rinne has stopped just 34 of the 45 pucks that have come his way during seven forgettable periods at PPG Paints Arena.

“It was just one of those games where they were going and we were trying to find it and didn’t really get it going at any point,” Rinne said.

Not that the Penguins gave them much of a chance.

Conor Sheary, Phil Kessel — just as linemate Malkin predicted — and 35-year-old playoff newbie Ron Hainsey also scored for Pittsburgh. It was Crosby who sent the message — with his vision, his creativity and, oddly, his fists.

The two-time MVP’s eventful night included becoming the franchise’s all-time leading scorer in the Stanley Cup Final, a two-minute roughing penalty for trying to dribble Nashville defenseman P.K. Subban’s head on the ice near the end of the first period and what he said was an inadvertent flip of a water bottle onto the ice during play.

“I think Sid really understands the opportunity that this team has and he’s not taking anything for granted,” Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said.

And apparently not taking any more stuff from Subban either. The two stars became tangled up behind the Nashville goal late in the first with Crosby on top. He attempted to extract himself but couldn’t, then unleashed a torrent of punches at Subban’s head.

“He was doing some sort of UFC move on my foot,” Crosby said. “I don’t know what he was trying to do. ... I don’t know what he was trying to do to my ankle. I was in some kind of lock there.”

Subban, who claimed Crosby was complaining about Subban’s breath during a Game 3 run-in, just kind of sat there and took it. The exchange ended with both players heading to the dressing room with minor penalties. They watched on TV as Malkin’s wrist shot with 10 seconds left in the

first gave Pittsburgh a 3-0 edge it never came close to giving up.

“That is, hands down, the best game that we’ve played in this series to this point,” Sullivan said.

Saros hardly fared any better. Sheary took a pretty feed from Crosby and sent it by Saros 1:19 into the second to push Pittsburgh’s lead to four. Kessel ended a six-game goal drought 8:02 into the second. The score had been predicted by Malkin and it came just seconds after Crosby threw a water bottle onto the ice as the play went by Pittsburgh’s bench, a move he told referees was unintentional.

When Hainsey, who waited 907 regular-season games before reaching the playoffs for the first time this season, tapped in a pass from Malkin to make it 6-0, the stage was set for the Penguins to return to familiar territory.

The franchise has won all four of its Cups on the road. A shot at a fifth awaits Sunday, though it’ll hardly be easy.

“It’s a good game but it’s still not done,” Malkin said. “We still need one more game, one more win.”

The Predators are 9-1 at home in the playoffs, a place they will need to be a haven once again if they want to extend their improbable Cup run back to Pittsburgh.

“The real hockey starts now,” Subban said.

“You’re in the Cup final, this is what it’s all about.

It’s about going back and forth.”

NOTES: Matt Murray finished with 24 saves. ...

Crosby now has 20 career points in the Stanley Cup Final, a new franchise record and one more than team owner Mario Lemieux. ... Crosby also moved into a tie with Denis Potvin for 19th on the all-time career playoff scoring list. ... The team that has won Game 5 in a 2-2 series has gone on to win the Cup 71 percent (17 of 24) of the time since 1939. ... The teams combined for 100 penalty minutes (58 for Nashville, 42 for Pittsburgh). ...

Guentzel’s assist moved him into a tie with Dino Ciccarelli and Ville Leino for the most playoff points by a rookie in NHL history (21). ... Penguins F Nick Bonino missed his third straight game with a lower-body injury. ... Nashville F Colin Wilson made his series debut after missing the first four games with an undisclosed injury. Wilson skated on the fourth line with Frederick Gaudreau and Harry Zolnierczyk.

Exercise boundaries sometimes needed Dear Dr. Roach: I am 69, and I retired from a career in primary care and emergency medicine. I have always been very active and have kept fit with biking, crosscountry skiing and hiking. My diet has been basically vegetarian with lots of fish and limited sweets. I have had no chronic problems except for insomnia and nonrestorative sleep. About two years ago, I developed steadily worsening fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. I have had an extensive evaluation, including cardiac testing, sleep studies, respiratory testing and virtually every lab test in the book. My results have been negative, except for a significantly elevated ANA. I am currently seeing a rheumatologist, but

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health there is no specific treatment available.

My concern is how much I should continue to exercise. Should I push through the aches and fatigue to try to keep up my usual distances and times, or will that actually make me worse? My symptoms vary so much from day to day that it is difficult to “listen to my body” to see if what I did the previous day has made me better or worse.

I hate to see a lifetime of conditioning swirl down the drain. I could use some help. — J.L.

Answer: Systemic exertion intolerance disease, also known as chronic fatigue syndrome, is diagnosed in people with a decrease in their level of function, worsening of symptoms after exercise and unrefreshing sleep. Symptoms often are worse when standing up and relieved on lying down, and may cause decreased ability to think or concentrate.

Symptoms need to be present for six months or more, and be moderate to severe at least half the time.

People who suffer from these symptoms can be frustrated because there isn’t a blood test or X-ray to confirm the diagnosis. There unfortunately still are many people, including physicians, who think this isn’t a “real”

condition. Those of us who have taken care of patients like you understand that this condition, known for centuries, causes great harm to patients (and families).

The answer to your specific question is no: You should not attempt to exercise past the point where your body tells you to stop, as it will indeed make things worse.

Although a study showed that people who slowly build up exercise levels have improvement in function, a recent review of the data suggests that far fewer people had a benefit than previously thought. However, several other trials have shown that some exercise is better than no exercise. Everyone agrees, however, that overdoing it is the wrong approach.

Groom walks, considers bride villain

Dear Carolyn: I recently called off my wedding less than a week beforehand. And everyone hates me now — my ex, her family, even my family has been nasty to me.

On top of that I truly feel terrible about having done this. I kept trying to put my feelings down to cold feet but I suddenly knew I couldn’t go through with it. Better that than divorce in less than a year, right?

I know I look like the bad guy, but I honestly think my ex bears some blame for giving me an ultimatum instead of letting it happen organically. We had only been dating two years before she said, “Give me a ring or else I walk.” When I tried to explain this to some friends and my family, they said it just makes me look even worse, trying to blame the “heartbroken, jilted bride.”

Aren’t I entitled to defend myself, or am I just going to have to take 100 percent of the blame forever? — Not Really the Villain Answer: Ah, you had me till the finger-pointing.

Yes, her ultimatum was a terrible idea. But, dude — you heard her

Tell Me About It Carolyn Hax

terrible idea, and did what? Bought a ring. So that’s on you.

Let me go back for a second, though. I don’t like blame at all in situations like this. You two weren’t right for each other. Everyone who “hates” you isn’t connecting enough dots to recognize you had to call it off.

You could both be lovely people who tried to do right by each other, and that still could have brought you to a last-minute cancellation. Sometimes the Aha Fairy chooses to visit at an exquisitely terrible time.

So own that, and nothing else. Say you’re sorry.

Say you feel terrible. Say you wish clarity had come sooner. No flinching.

And no justifications, either.

Here’s what doesn’t help anyone at a time like this: “Hey, beats a divorce, amirite?”

“We had only been dating two years!” [My eyeroll added.]

“Do I have to take 100 percent of the blame forever?!”

Your job is to have a clear message for yourself, that you are 100 percent responsible for your part in this. For agreeing to something you didn’t want and for taking so long to see the error in that.

How others see it, see her, see you? That’s for them to work out. The rest will follow when you get right with you.

And when you compensate your ex and/or her family for any deposits you lost by bolting so late. Decency demands it, in installments if you must.

amount or same gift, I feel the “grans” will feel slighted because I am THEIR grandmother. If I give the “step-grans” a lesser gift, I feel they will feel slighted. Any suggestions would be helpful. — Anonymous Answer: Which “bad” message is better to send: That you treat all children equally, or that you openly grant some children more-than and others less-than status?

Please tell me the answer is obvious when it’s phrased this way.

Kids are kids and grandparents are grandparents. Love is love.

Equal gifts for all.

Dear Carolyn: My son and his wife have a blended family. They have been together a short time and I have come to love all the children equally. All are tweens and young teens.

The step-grandchildren have birthdays coming up. I gave the grandchildren gift money for their birthdays. I am concerned that whatever I do, the others will feel that I value them less. If I give everyone the same

Chiefs: Mahomes development Continued from B1

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes stands for the national anthem as the Kansas City Royals play host to the Cleveland Indians at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., on Friday, June 2. John Sleezer/ Kansas City Star/TNS

specialist at Texas Tech to an NFL-ready quarterback. This happens by breaking down his game.

“Right now we’re trying to get the game to slow down for him,” Nagy said. “It’s as basic as getting out of the huddle, knowing where everybody is on our side of the ball and then being able to focus on where the defense is.

“We’re at ground zero right now. We joke around that it’s a piece of clay that you get to mold. You sit here doing fundamentals that

you do at the high school level, and that’s OK. No matter who comes in there, we’re going to do that.”

There’s time to work with Mahomes. Alex Smith, 41-20 as a Chiefs starter, returns for his fifth season. Mahomes won’t go from a firstround pick to running a team. Deshaun Watson appears to be on that fast track for the Houston Texans.

Tyler Bray gets second-team snaps behind Smith, and after practices Mahomes remains mostly to practice his footwork. On this day,

Mahomes was working with Mike Kafka, offensive quality control coach and former quarterback for Reid with the Eagles.

After next week’s minicamp, the Chiefs break and will reunite for training camp in late July and begin the next phase of Mahomes’ development.

“I’d say he’s exactly where we thought he would be,” Nagy said.

“When we got him out there we knew he would be a little raw. But that’s the fun part, trying to mold him into what we want.”

DOVER

QUESTIONS & AT T I T U D E Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers

3 THINGS WE LEARNED 1. Tying Cale Jimmie Johnson’s win at Dover was his series-leading third of the season and tied him for sixth on the all-time list with Cale Yarborough. Each driver has 83 wins. “To be here and tie him at 83 wins is amazing,” Johnson said. “I wasn’t sure how quickly we’d be, or if we’d be able to go there and get it done.”

2. Once again

For the fourth time this season, the driver leading with 10 laps to go in a Cup Series race did not see Victory Lane. Kyle Larson was on his way to a win

Is Danica’s countdown clock ticking?

It sure seems like it. When Danica Patrick voiced her concern over that latest hard wreck a few weeks ago, it sounded like another sign she’s ready to move on to the next chapter. Now word of the obvious: Danica and Stewart-Haas Racing are evaluating their future plans.

Or, perhaps, non-plans.

Sunday’s 10th-place finish at Dover was a bit of good news, but she needs a lot of that to attract another GoDaddy or some similar corporate benefactor.

until David Ragan hit the wall with two laps on the board.

Jimmie Johnson, who led seven laps, took the win on the final restart.

3. Larson says Before the race, Larson said he hasn’t had much luck on restarts at Dover, and his words were prophetic. “I just spun my tires pretty bad,” said Larson, who finished second after leading 241 laps. “I tried taking off, not using a lot of throttle, and still spun my tires pretty bad.”

It looks like Cale Yarborough is trapped in Jimmie Johnson’s helmet.

Actually, it is a tribute helmet honoring the three-time NASCAR champion. [NASCAR GETTY IMAGES/MATT HAZLETT]

3 THINGS TO WATCH

endless 3,740-foot front straight. A week later, it’s on to Michigan, where cars gather speeds greater than 200 mph going into Turn 3.

1. Danica’s top-10

3. Suarez sizzles

Danica Patrick scored her first top-10 finish at Dover (she finished 10th) and hopes this sparks the competitive fire with her No. 10 Ford team. She did it despite bringing out the seventh yellow flag of the day with a spin off Turn 4 on Lap 147. “We got a bit lucky with staying out at the right time and catching the yellow flags,” she said. “It’s the stuff that hasn’t been happening for us all year, and it’s just nice to catch some breaks.” Can she build on it?

Daniel Suarez, who raced in Mexico in 2014, continues to improve week by week as a NASCAR Cup Series rookie.

His sixth-place finish at Dover was his best to date. “I feel like we had a top-10 car, and we ended up right there,” he said. “I think the entire team is making progress and that’s for sure, and I’m very proud of that.” Will he ride that little bit of momentum into summer?

Danica Patrick has a little smile under that full-faced helmet after recording her first top-10 finish of the season. [NASCAR GETTY IMAGES/ CHRIS TROTMAN]

2. Horsepower tracks The next two stops on the Cup Series require monster horsepower to be competitive.

Pocono’s “Tricky Triangle” is three straightaways attached to three turns. In order to maximize engine performance, drivers will shift for Pocono’s

— Godwin Kelly, godwin. kelly@news-jrnl.com

Gut feeling?

My feeling is she returns to IndyCar, where she’s a better competitive fit. But that runs counter to her apparent concern over violent crashes.

Maybe she runs the two big 500s — Daytona and Indianapolis — and sells fitness gear and protein shakes the rest of the year. Not a bad gig.

GODWIN’S PICKS FOR POCONO WINNER: Dale Earnhardt Jr. REST OF TOP 5: Kyle Larson, Brad Keselowski, Martin Truex Jr., Kevin Harvick FIRST ONE OUT: Jimmie Johnson DARK HORSE: Chris Buescher DON’T BE SURPRISED IF: You smell fumes from the fuel tank and this race becomes a slow-down-to-win nail-biter.
