TWICE AS NICE Cooper’s heroics seal win

Fillies take their revenge

On a team often led statistically by its underclassmen, such as sophomore Ethan Holloway, it was Iola’s veterans who came up with the biggest plays in Friday’s gutty 47-45 win over Anderson County.

“The boys played hard tonight,” Iola coach Jay Applegate said. “They had a spark in their eye.”

SCC wins over MV LE ROY — Southern Coffey County High’s boys turned on the proverbial jets after halftime, and in so doing, dispatched of visiting Marmaton Valley High.

The Titans outscored Marmaton Valley 17-5 in the third quarter, turning a 28-20 lead into a 20-point cushion.

The Wildcats were unable to dent into the lead of what wound up a 59-30 defeat.

“The trapping ability and

their length really hurt us early,” Wildcat head coach Dan Uhlrich said. “We had a lot of shots in the second half that did not fall.”

The game was tight early.

Southern Coffey County led 14-11 before outscoring the Wildcats 14-9 in the second.

After their big third-quarter burst, the Titans ended the game with a 14-5 run.

“We still have much to work on,” Uhlrich said.

“Staying down and really sliding (on defense) are key.

The kids played hard.”

Gage Adams scored 11 points to lead the way for the Wildcats. Justice Pugh and Brady Newman followed with seven points each.

Dawson Leimkuhler scored 20 and Chonnor Ludolph 14 to pace SCC. Trevor Filbrun and Bryce Isch each scored eight.

Weston Weers chipped in with four points.

Marmaton Valley hosts Chetopa Tuesday. Southern Coffey County hosts Lebo next Friday.

The adversity was clear for Iola High’s Fillies as they faced a team that had already beaten them once this season in Anderson County.

They needed all hands on deck to pull of a 39-33 win.

“We lost to Anderson County the first time,” Iola senior Mikaela Platt said.

“We wanted to set a statement.”

Lady Cubs earn close victory

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

One of the Iola leaders remained on the bench Friday.

Junior point guard Sydney Wade is still recovering from her high-ankle sprain.

HUMBOLDT — It was almost deja vu all over again for Humboldt High’s girls.

The Lady Cubs found themselves ahead of Tri-Valley League rival Fredonia High, just like they did in the teams’ earlier matchup in mid-January.

And just like then, an offensive lull shifted momentum toward Fredonia.

But unlike the earlier game, a 50-47 loss, Humboldt had just enough left in the tank, thanks in large part to junior spark plug Makaylah McCall.

McCall scored a game-high 18 points, including a pair of free throws with 13.5 seconds left to turn a one-point lead into a 48-45 advantage.

The Lady Cubs then took

Humboldt holds off Fredonia

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

HUMBOLDT — They can’t all be masterpieces.

Humboldt High’s boys missed 16 free throws, and turned the ball over 21 times (compared to just 11 assists) and “got rattled” at times against visiting Fredonia’s pressure defense.

Things might have gotten scary had it not been for the duo of the dynamic duo, Rayce Hoepker and Rhett Smith.

The unassuming Hoepker came up big time and again, usually from the free throw line, in Humboldt’s 70-59 victory.

Hoepker was a dazzling 18 of 20 from the line with his 38-point performance.

Smith also carried much of the offensive load. He and Hoepker combined to score 32 of Humboldt’s 40 first-half points.

The Cub defense clamped down after intermission, and a 15-6 third-quarter run put Humboldt firmly in control,

Fredonia wasn’t finished, however. Not by a long shot.

The Yellowjackets forced Humboldt turnovers on five straight possessions to open

the fourth quarter. The Cub lead shriveled to nine.

But Fredonia continued to foul.

Zika link to microcephaly grows BRASILIA, Brazil (AP) — Brazil’s health minister said Friday that authorities were “absolutely sure” that the Zika virus is connected to devastating birth defects and rejected criticism that the government was slow to investigate the surge of cases that set off international alarms.

Marcelo Castro made the remarks during an interview with The As-

sociated Press in Brazil’s capital. He spoke a day before tens of thousands of soldiers and health inspectors were to take to the streets in an unprecedented drive to encourage residents to be vigilant for mosquito breeding sites. The goal: visit 3 million homes in more than 350 cities.

Brazil is at the epicenter of a mosquitoborne virus that has been linked to rare

birth defects known as microcephaly. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has warned pregnant women to avoid traveling to more than two dozen countries and territories in the Americas where active outbreaks are taking place.

A top official from the World Health Organization said that a vaccine was approximately 18 months away.

Mustangs: Cooper, Taylor shine late in game to beat Bulldogs Continued from B1

son — roared back to take a one-point lead with 37 seconds left, when Applegate signaled for a timeout.

The huddle was not a complicated one. Applegate called one of his go-to plays and set it up for the ball to be in his junior point guard Ben Cooper’s hands.

“We have a couple different options off of that,” Applegate said.

“We can get it inside, take a three-pointer or dribble-drive jump shot.”

Coming out of the timeout, Iola allowed the clock to tick down before Cooper went to work.

The junior came from the right wing down the right-side of the lane.

As he entered the lane it was decision time.

Cooper could either take the ball all the way to the basket himself, he could dump it to a teammate in hopes of an open look or he could pull up right before he got into the teeth of the defense for a shot.

Cooper elected for option number three. He pulled up for a push-shot

in the middle of the lane and flicked the ball over the waiting Bulldog defenders.

“He’s clutch,” Holloway said of his teammate.

The ball arched towards the cylinder, and made contact with the from of the rim.

As the ball rolled over the front iron and dropped through the net with 7 seconds left, the Iola crowd caught its breath and roared its approval for what appeared to be the winning play.

Anderson County did not hesitate, however.

The Bulldogs quickly inbounded the ball to their speedy guard D’anthony Fredricks and he raced upcourt.

As the senior Bulldog guard rose up for a potential game-winning layup, he made contact with Brett Taylor.

The only senior on Iola’s team had hustled back on defense and set up to accept the charge just in the nick of time and sealed Iola’s win.

“It was a big deal for Brett to take that

“I was talking to Braden in the locker room and told him he came up huge,” Holloway said.

Chase Ratliff led Anderson County with a game-high 18 points.

Iola will only play once next week, at Osawatomie on Tuesday.

Iola sophomore Ethan Holloway high-fives his fellow students prior to Friday’s game with Anderson County. REGISTER/JON DYKSTRA charge,” Applegate said. “We talk about being tough and we were tougher tonight.”

Taylor hit one of his two free throws after Anderson County fouled and the game was over.

“If we would have lost this game it would have been a heart-breaker,” Holloway said. “It would have sucked pretty bad.”

The Mustangs’ four-

point first-half lead came on the strength of their sophomore Holloway.

Holloway scored 12 of his team-high 16 points in the game’s opening half, using a variety of post moves to free himself.

Cooper added 11 points, while Braden Plumlee and Isaiah Fawson each added eight.

THE MUSTANG junior varsity emerged victorious over the Bulldogs, 44-40.

Although Iola trailed 12-10 at the end of the first quarter, it quickly jumped in front 22-19 at halftime.

Sophomore Zachary Cokely led the way for the Mustangs in the opening half scoring eight of his team-high 10 points before intermission.

Anderson County made a run in the third quarter, but Iola was able to maintain its advantage going into the game’s final eight minutes. They took a 3433 lead into the fourth quarter.

Free throw shooting was huge down the stretch in sealing the

Mustang win. Mason Ingle and Cale Barnhart led the way in that category.

Each hit both their foul shots in the final period.

In addition to Cokely’s 10 points, Braden Plumlee and Chase Regehr added seven and six, respectively.

Justin Rockers led Anderson County with 11, while Trevor Johnston contributed eight.

THE IOLA FRESHMEN team nearly doubled up Anderson County, cruising to a 4825 win.

An explosive third quarter proved to make the difference.

Iola entered the quarter with just a six-point advantage, but a 15-2 quarter gave the Mustangs a commanding 40-21 lead entering the fourth quarter.

Tayton Driskel led a balanced Iola squad with 13 points. Dylan Doolittle and Kane Rogers joined their teammate in double figures with 12 and 11, respectively.

Kass Allnut led the Bulldogs with six points.

Cubs: Tough win

Fillies: Short-handed Iola gets payback

“Luckily, they kept fouling Rayce,” Taylor joked.

Hoepker hit 10 of 12 free throws for Humboldt down the stretch as three Fredonia players eventually fouled out. Humboldt mustered only a solitary field goal in the fourth quarter. The Cubs’ other 13 points came from free throws.

For the game, Humboldt was 26 of 42 from the line.

While Taylor winced at the missed charities and turnovers, he noted the Cubs still shined in one area — defensive rebounding.

“We did a good job of limiting them to one shot,” Taylor said. “I thought that was a key.”

Taylor also lauded the defensive efforts of senior Bryce Isaac, who was tasked with guarding Fredonia standout Isaac Ostrosky.

Ostrosky scored 13, but was held in check for most of the game.

“The Ostrosky kid is one of the better players in our league,” Taylor said. “Bryce deserves some kudos.”

Iola’s leading scorer Toni Macha was back on the floor, but still dealing with sickness that caused her to miss the Fillies’ last game on Tuesday.

“It shows us each one of us can step up and still win,” Platt said.

“My seniors stepped up,” Iola coach Becky Carlson said.

Platt answered the call for Iola. She scored a game-high 11 points and helped lead a Mustang press that was able to frustrate the Bulldogs into several turnovers.

Platt said that going into the game, she knew she may be called on to carry more of the scoring load.

“I’ve always worked on my shot all four years,” Platt said. “So that was my goal to score as much as I could.”

Platt was far from alone in keying the victory.

Colbi Riley continued her run of fine play at

Continued from B1

Smith wound up with 13 points and three assists. He also drew two charges. Jake Haviland followed with 8 points and 11 rebounds.

Anthony Doran pulled in six boards.

“This was a highintensity game from the start,” Taylor said.

“I’m very happy for the boys.”

Josh Hite’s 14 paced Fredonia. Jared Reed added 11.

The victory came in Humboldt’s annual Winter Sweetheart game. Dillon Aikins and Morgan Wilson were crowned Sweetheart King and Queen during halftime ceremonies.

HUMBOLDT prevailed, 67-31, in the junior varsity game.

Hesston Murrow and Bo Bigelow each scored 12 for the Cub JV. Chad Classen scored 6 and Ryan Sellman 5 in the C team’s 28-22 victory in a two-quarter game.

point guard. She was inserted into the lineup when Wade was injured last week and has been a bright spot ever since.

The sophomore scored eight against Anderson County.

Senior Ashlie Shields scored seven and also was crucial to the press.

“Mikaela and Ashlie really stepped up for us tonight,” Carlson said.

“It was a great team win.”

Macha showed her grit in her first action in

a week. She scored just seven points, but helped near the top of the press on several occasions and even brought the ball down the floor for her team to help break the Anderson County press after the Bulldogs tried that to get back in the game.

“It is nice to have a mismatch. She can handle the ball really well,” Carlson said. “If a post is guarding her it just makes sense to have her bring it up.”

Anderson County was led in scoring by Emily Fritz with eight points.

Iola will only play once next week, at Osawatomie on Tuesday.

THE FILLIES junior varsity fell to Anderson County, 49-32.

The game entered the fourth quarter with only a six-point Bulldog lead, but the fourth belonged to the Anderson County.

The Bulldogs repeatedly broke through Iola’s press. When the Bull-

dogs did miss from the field in the final period, they were quick to grab offensive rebounds.

Iola was led in scoring by junior Jadyn Sigg with nine points.

Carley Cescon, Kendra Sprague, Piper Moore and Della Lohman each added four.

Anderson County had 10 players score, led by Sammy Walter with 11 points.

THE FRESHMEN FILLIES fell to the Bulldogs, 30-22, despite taking a one point lead into the fourth quarter.

Iola was outscored 14-5 in the final period. Jenna Schmidt led the Anderson County charge scoring six of her nine points in the game’s final quarter.

Piper Moore led the Fillies with nine points.

Olivia Taylor added six.

Moore scored all seven of the Fillies’ points in the third quarter when they made a 7-1 run to take the lead.

The two-time Pro Bowl running back announced on Instagram Friday morning that the team informed him this week it will not offer him a contract for next season. The Bears confirmed it, with general manager Ryan Pace calling him one of the “all-time great Bears.”

Forte will be an unrestricted free agent and can sign with any team beginning March 9.

Drafted in the second round by the Bears in 2008, he emerged as one of the most successful running backs in franchise history.

But he is 30 years old and the team has a long list of needs after finishing last in the NFC North at 6-10.

Despite the losing record, the Bears believe they took a big step forward in their first season under Pace and coach John Fox. Forte had expressed a desire to re-sign, but the team is moving on without him.

“I will remain forever grateful for my time spent in Chicago and

being able to play for an organization with such a rich history,” Forte wrote. “My only regret is not being able to win a Lombardi trophy for the best fans in all of sports.

I’m excited about the next chapter of my NFL career. But, Chicago will always be home. God Bless and Bear Down!”

Kansas moves to protect pensions, mental hospital Senate defeats call to extend weapons ban

By JOHN HANNA The Associated Press

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Kansas Senate approved proposals aimed at preventing the state from shorting its contributions to public pensions or having private companies run its two mental hospitals, part of a larger plan it also advanced Thursday night to balance the next state budget.

Senators added the pension and hospital measures as amendments to a bill that would eliminate a projected deficit of nearly $200 million in the state’s $16.1 billion spending blueprint for the fiscal year beginning July 1. They approved the entire bill, 24-15.

The Senate’s debate came only hours after the House approved its own budget-balancing plan, 68-56. Legislative leaders expected to appoint negotiators to draft the final version of a plan.

The House’s bill has a

I don’t think the state has the depth to run a hospital.

— Sen. Jim Denning, R-Overland Park, arguing against state oversight of Kansas’ mental hospitals

provision that says the state can’t spend any money on selling or turning over the operations of its mental hospitals in Larned and Osawatomie to private companies unless the Legislature approves the idea first.

The measure added to the Senate’s bill is similar.

“It will provide some oversight,” said Sen. Caryn Tyson, a Parker Republican.

There are dozens of staff vacancies at the hospital in Larned, in western Kansas, and Osawatomie, about 45 miles south of the Kansas City area. A critical survey in November prompted the federal government to decertify the Osawatomie hospital over safety issues. The state is losing between

$500,000 and $1 million a month in federal funds.

“I don’t think the state has the depth to run a hospital,” Sen. Jim Denning, an Overland Park Republican, said in arguing against the proposal.

He said government regulations make running a hospital far more complex than it once was.

The Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services has said privatizing the hospital is an option, but area legislators oppose the idea.

Both chambers’ bills contain most of Republican Gov. Sam Brownback’s proposals to close the budget gap by shuffling funds and capturing unanticipated savings. Both also assume the state will reap $25 million from selling off

the assets of a decade-old economic development agency set up to nurture emerging bioscience companies.

Republicans contend both plans close the budget gap while still meeting crucial needs. Democrats said the shuffling represents poor fiscal management.

Senators also amended their budget bill to prevent Brownback from balancing the budget through June 2017 by reducing or delaying payments to the state’s public pension system.

The bill plan initially would have allowed the governor to delay up to $100 million worth of contributions to the public pension system to bolster the budget. The state would have had up to two years to make up for the delayed contributions but would have paid 8 percent interest.

But that idea drew bipartisan criticism. Denning initially supported the idea but said negative comments led him to raise “the white flag.”

Wrongfully convicted Kansan seeks video data TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas man who spent nearly 16 years in prison for killing his brother later admitted to, testified for a measure that would require law enforcement to record some interrogations.

The Kansas Bureau of Investigation and other law enforcement groups oppose the measure, which mandates recorded interrogations of suspects arrested for capital murder, first-degree murder and seconddegree murder.

The Topeka CapitalJournal reported a

House committee Thursday heard testimony from Floyd Bledsoe, who was wrongfully convicted in the 1999 murder of Camille Arfmann in Oskaloosa.

His brother, Tom, originally admitted to the crime but later recanted his confessions, which were not recorded.

Floyd Bledsoe told the committee he might not have been convicted if jurors would have been able to hear his brother confess and hear him maintaining his innocence. Some of Bledsoe’s interrogations were re-

corded and others were not.

Rep. Ramon Gonzalez, R-Perry, who introduced House bill, said it’s partly in response to Bledsoe’s wrongful conviction.

“In any major crime, you probably should have a recorded interview,” he said.

Alice Craig, Bledsoe’s attorney with the University of Kansas’ Paul E. Wilson Project for Innocence, supports the interrogation recordings.

“We cannot say 16 years later how that would have impacted the investigation, but

it could not have hurt,” Craig said.

Executive director of the Midwest Innocence Project, Oliver Burnette, said Bledsoe is a proponent of recorded interrogations.

“When he says, ‘This could have helped me,’ we tend to take it seriously,” he said.

The House Committee on Corrections and Juvenile Justice will hear the legislation Thursday.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Kansas Senate has defeated a measure aimed at keeping concealed weapons off college campuses a few more years.

Senators on Thursday rejected an amendment on gun legislation that would have extended a prohibition on concealed-carry on Kansas campuses until 2021. The ban will expire in 2017 unless lawmakers act.

The Topeka CapitalJournal reported sena-

tors also voted down an amendment to move up the end of the gun ban to this summer.

In 2013, the Legislature blocked prohibitions against concealed weapons in government buildings, but exempted colleges and universities for four years.

Last month, the Kansas Board of Regents, which governs public universities, approved a policy that will allow concealed weapons once the current ban expires.

Lawmakers pass bill blocking clean-power rules TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Kansas Senate has passed a bill that would block a state regulatory commission from spending money to study how to comply with new federal cleanpower rules until a legal challenge is resolved.

The chamber’s 37-2 vote on Thursday night sent the measure to the House.

The vote came just two days after a divided U.S. Supreme Court put President Barack Obama’s signature plan to address climate change on hold amid the legal challenges.

The federal rules require states to develop plans for reducing carbon emissions from power plants, and each state is assigned targets over the next 15 years.

The Kansas Corporation Commission had

been searching for a consulting firm to work on a study of what the state would be required to do to comply, the Lawrence Journal-World reported.

But Sen. Rob Olson, R-Olathe, who introduced blocking compliance spending as an amendment, said the state shouldn’t move forward until the legal challenges are fully resolved.

The original bill that was amended calls for disbanding the Kansas Electric Transmission Authority, an agency that was established to coordinate construction of new transmission lines to move wind energy to urban markets. The balance of the authority’s funds, $251,356, would be swept into the state general fund.

Happy Valentine’s Day: Care of Kenya NYAHURURU, Kenya (AP) — This Valentine’s Day, there’s a good chance your flowers came from Kenya.

“I know the flowers are for giving on Valentine’s Day,” said Phanice Cherop, a worker at a flower farm in Kenya. “They are very beautiful.”

On a crisp February morning, Cherop squeezed through a row of shoulder-high white roses, cut a flower and methodi-

sent around the world ahead of Feb. 14.

Flowers are intricately tied to the global economy.

When it collapsed in 2008, the cut-flower trade lost $1.5 billion the following year.

In 2013, global exports of cut flowers, cut foliage, living plants and flower bulbs amounted to $20.6 billion, more than twice of 2001.

International events, including Russia’s war in

“We do not really do this here in Kenya. No man has ever given me [roses].

I would like some.”

— Phanice Cherop, a flower farm employee and hopeful romantic in rural Kenya

cally placed it in the bunch she carried. The Kenyangrown flower was likely headed for a vase in Australia, England, Japan or the United States.

Kenya’s cool climate and high altitude make it perfect for growing large, long-lasting roses. Such conditions have helped make Kenya the world’s fourth-biggest supplier after the Netherlands, Ecuador and Colombia.

Cherop, a 29-year-old single mother of two, works at AAA Growers’ Simba farm in Nyahururu, four hours’ drive north of the capital, Nairobi.

It’s the one of company’s 50-acre farms that make them Kenya’s third-largest grower of vegetables and flowers combined. Cherop was one of 600 workers bused in from surrounding villages to pick or pack thousands of roses to be

Ukraine and plummeting oil prices, have shaped flower fortunes for numerous Kenyan farms. Sales to oil-producing nations, such as Norway and those in the Middle East, have dropped due to their reduced spending power. Kenya is the sixth-largest flower exporter to the U.S., according to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection. As east Africa’s agricultural powerhouse, Kenya supplies the European Union with 38 percent of its cut-flower imports, partly due to a tax-exemption trade agreement.

Mr. Mules, who farmed in Zimbabwe before being evicted under President Robert Mugabe’s land reforms, said prolonged rains due to the El Nino weather pattern have pressured the company’s bottom line.

“The timing of Valen-

tine’s Day is perfect for Kenya because it falls in the dry season,” he said. “Unfortunately, this year, due to el Nino, it has lengthened the so-called ‘short rains.’ Instead of stopping in November we were getting rain in January.”

Another lament is about Russia.

In 2012, flower exports to Russia, the world’s fifthlargest flower importer, began shrinking due to its tanking economy and depreciating ruble. Russian military intervention in Ukraine in 2014 only “worsened the situation,” said Cindy van Rijswick, a fruit, vegetables and floriculture analyst at Dutch bank Rabobank.

The Kenya Flower Council said exports overall rose from 86,480 tons in 2006 to 136,601 tons in 2014.

Kenya’s flower business continues to employ half a million Kenyans and earned more than half a billion dollars last year, according to government statistics.

In the temperaturecontrolled storeroom of AAA Growers’ warehouse, stacks of cardboard boxes bound for Canada, Australia, the United States and France are the end point to the process that started with workers like Cherop.

Cherop, who earns Kenya’s rural minimum wage of $80 a month, said the arduous manual work is a necessity to feed her family. Giggling, she admits, after a bit of prodding, that she’s never received flowers.

“We do not really do this here in Kenya,” she said.

“No man has ever given me. I would like some.”

Windsor Place…

Providing therapy services after extended hospital stays.

“The staff and aides are very good. I’ve been spending a lot of time in the therapy department. They’ve been making me work hard, but it’s worth it because I’m seeing some good results. In addition to helping me regain my strength, the staff has also been attentive to my other health issues.

Everyone has been accommodating, getting me anything I need or ask for. I have really enjoyed the activities that involve music. The environment is always friendly and Carter always feels welcome.”

– Arlene Thornhill Arlene Thornhill and Carter Stiffler used to go south for the winter. Unfortunately, some health issues have prevented Arlene from traveling. In fact, she’s spending the winter with us at Windsor Place.

Back in September, Arlene fell and broke her clavicle. She spent about three weeks in the hospital. The extended time she spent in the hospital bed left

Arlene weak and unable to walk.

When it came time for Arlene to leave the hospital, her son made arrangements for her to come to Windsor Place for some additional therapy.

We’re pleased to report that Arlene is doing well and has regained much of her strength and independence.

Kansas seeks a solution to water needs for refuge KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Officials are trying to hammer out a deal to address competing water needs of south-central Kansas irrigators and a national wildlife refuge that’s lost considerable water to them.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which operates the Quivira National Wildlife Refuge, has been asking Kansas for years

to address the fact that hundreds of area farmers have been using water for irrigation that the refuge has prevailing rights to use.

An area water manager says reducing access for farmers who are already dealing with limited water raises considerable concern about the economic impact on families and communities.

Farm income down, loans up OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Federal Reserve says farm income continued to decline during the fourth quarter in Midwestern and Western states, so farmers are borrowing more.

But the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, Missouri, said Thursday that bankers report few problems with farmers failing to make loan payments.

Farm income is down because prices have declined for cattle, soybeans, wheat and corn.

The value of farmland continues to decline. The value of non-irrigated land declined 4 percent in the fourth quarter, and irrigated land values slipped 2 percent from the previous year.

The value of ranchland was flat in the quarter after declining an average of 8 percent in the first nine months of 2015.

The 10th Federal Reserve District covers Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Colorado, northern New Mexico and western Missouri.

Dispute between Lawrence and upscale hotel escalates LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — A dispute between Lawrence and developers of an upscale hotel near the University of Kansas campus has escalated.

The Lawrence Journal-World reported that city and developers of The Oread hotel slapped each other with notices of default Thursday on their redevelopment agreement.

The city says the Oread Inn isn’t cooperating, and Oread Inn says the city is withholding

tax reimbursements.

At stake is $8 million.

That’s the amount Oread Inn could still generate in city reimbursements if the redevelopment agreement were to stand. Since its creation in 2008, the agreement has brought in $3 million for developers.

Issues arose when an audit found that sales tax data within a special taxing district was inflated, leading to tax rebate overpayments. The Oread Inn has repaid about $500,000.

Former SEK coach sent to prison after impregnating teenager COLUMBUS, Kan. (AP) — A former southeast Kansas high school coach has been sentenced to more than eight years in prison for having sex with a 15-year-old girl and getting her pregnant.

Forty-seven-year-old Larry “Scott� Madden faces lifetime court supervision upon his release under the sentence imposed this week in Cherokee County District Court. The Joplin Globe reported that he also will be required to

register as a sex offender.

The former coach and physical education teacher at Baxter Springs High School pleaded no contest in November to three criminal counts.

Court documents say he began having sex with the girl in 2013 after helping her with softball hitting at a sports training business he operated. DNA testing gave a high probability of him being the father of the baby the girl delivered.

Neuropathy diagnosis requires evaluation

By Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health

Dear Dr. Roach: I am a 73-year-old male. I see my doctor on a regular basis and am taking various meds for age-related ills.

I had gout in one foot and then the other about two years ago, but I now have

a burning sensation in the toes of both feet. It is not painful to walk, but it feels as if I have a seconddegree burn.

My doctor says it’s probably a neuropathy, so I asked for a referral to a neurologist, which he said I don’t need. Could there be a reason for his

hesitation? Should I insist on going? — M.B. Answer: I agree that it does sound like a neuropathy, but there are many causes for neuropathy.

Although the diagnosis is sometimes never made with certainty, it is important to get an evaluation. There are specific

treatments for a few neuropathies, and nonspecific treatments for most.

If your regular doctor is comfortable performing the evaluation and is working with you toward getting you treated, great.

If not, then I would think a referral to a neurologist would be appropriate.

Growing and giving

The Iola High School FFA chapter received a $2,500 boost Friday from local farmer Mike Geffert and his wife, Barb, through the Monsanto America’s Farmers Grow Communities Campaign. The seed company uses proceeds from a national campaign in which farmers donate food or cash to charitable organizations. One winner is selected in each of the 1,326 eligible counties across 40 states. The Gefferts were chosen in Allen County, and tapped Iola FFA as the recipient. Charles Kerr, FFA adviser, said he was uncertain how the funds will be spent. “We have several things going on,” Kerr said. “I’m sure we can find a good use for it.” Shown with the Gefferts, front, are FFA officers from left, Emily McKarnin, Clara Wicoff, Isaiah Wicoff, Chase Regehr, Gage Cleaver, Caitlin Dreher and Mikaela Platt.

New reports found from 1929 Valentine’s Day massacre CHICAGO (AP) — Written by hand, the autopsies on the seven bullet-riddled bodies vividly describe why the Valentine’s Day massacre of 1929 is still considered Chicago’s most infamous gangland killing.

The reports were recently unearthed with inquest transcripts from a warehouse after eight decades, and the Cook County medical examiner’s office is now considering how best to preserve and display them.

Executive officer James

Sledge, a local history fan and a Chicago native, said he felt a chill down his back when he first read the documents outlining the attack at a Lincoln Park garage that left seven men dead and more than 160 machine gun casings littering the scene.

The attack, carried out by men dressed as city police officers, is widely believed to have been ordered by famed Prohibition-era gangster Al Capone. The crime was never solved.

Shortly after Sledge

joined the medical examiner’s office in 2014, he asked for permission to look at the autopsy records.

His staff took multiple trips to a Cook County government warehouse to find the reports, which were tucked away in a metal file cabinet.

Sledge is weighing where the documents should be stored and how accessible they should be, he told the Chicago Sun-Times in a story published Thursday.

“On the one hand, we

want to have them readily available,” Sledge said.

“But we don’t want them so accessible that we in some way anger some part of the population who feel we are not paying proper respect to the deceased.”

The victims of the Feb. 14, 1929 massacre were five men who were known gangsters working for Capone rival George “Bugs” Moran, an optometrist who was friends with Moran’s crew and a mechanic at the garage that served as Moran’s headquarters.

They were gunned down by four men, two of whom were wearing police uniforms. Since there was no evidence of a struggle, it’s believed that Moran’s men thought it was a police raid.

The documents that are now in Sledge’s possession offer insight into the 87-year-old investigation of the unsolved crime.

“The reports are very graphic about what happened,” Sledge said. “You read about history, you talk about it, but to have something in your hands

Humboldt: Lady Cubs prevail in nail-biter over Fredonia Continued from A1

full advantage their foul situation — they had committed only four to that point in the half — and stalled Fredonia’s offense on the Yellowjackets’ final possession.

Humboldt twice was whistled for fouls as Fredonia maneuvered to set up a final shot, thus forcing the Yellowjackets to have to reset their offense.

The last foul came with 4.5 seconds left.

The Yellowjackets ultimately fired off a 3-point attempt, but it was off balance and well off the mark as the buzzer AutoPageNo

sounded.

The Lady Cubs’ 4845 win snapped a brief two-game losing streak, and gives Humboldt some much-needed momentum as the season hits the home stretch.

Humboldt (14-4 overall; 5-3 in TVL play) travels to Burlington.

“We owed them one,” Lady Cub head coach Aubrey Jones said. “We thought we gave it to them the last time, and we wanted to get one back.”

A pair of steals on consecutive possessions came during a crucial 6-0 run early in the fourth period as

Humboldt turned a 38-37 lead into a 44-37 advantage with 6:25 left on the clock.

McCall’s jumper from the elbow a minute later re-established a sevenpoint cushion.

But things went sour in a hurry.

Humboldt came up empty on five consecutive possessions as the Yellowjackets clawed their way back to 4645 with 1:25 left on the clock.

Another Lady Cub turnover gave possession back to Fredonia, but the Yellowjackets’ 6-3 Dakota Corle missed an open layup inside

with 35 seconds left.

Humboldt corralled the rebound, and worked the ball to McCall, who was fouled to deliver the game-clinching charities.

Fredonia was cruising early, courtesy of 15-4 spurt through much of the first quarter.

McCall responded by scoring eight straight points for the Lady Cubs at one point as Humboldt clawed their way back to 17-15.

Tilar Wells’ 3-pointer late in the third quarter gave Humboldt a 38-35 lead. Fredonia never led again.

“Defense was defi-

nitely the spark,” Jones said. “They were keying on Makaylah and Makaylah did a great job of attacking, attacking, attacking tonight — making people work.

She’s capable of doing that whenever she wants. It was great to see it tonight. All of (the girls) had a big play at some point or another.”

Annalise Whitcomb followed with 10 points.

Wells added 9.

Corle scored 15 to pace Fredonia. Katie Robinson added 12.

Humboldt now sets its sights on perennial TVL power Burlington. Humboldt visits the Wildcats

on Tuesday.

Fredonia (15-11-11-8—45) (FG/3pt): Solander 0/1-2-2-5, Blackwill 4-0-3-8, Palmer 1/1-01-5, Robinson 5-2-4-12, Mayeske 0-0-1-0, Corle 7-1-4-15. TOTALS: 17/2-5-15-45.

QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions... and maybe a few actual answers

3 THINGS WE LEARNED IN THE OFFSEASON 1. Truex transition Martin Truex Jr. had a great season in the No. 78 Furniture Row Racing Chevy. He made it all the way to the Championship Round. During the offseason, the team switched over to the Toyota brand. The team is getting mega-support from Gibbs Racing. How will this play out?

2. Updated Fusion Ford is getting tired of playing second and third fiddle and has come up with a new design of its Ford Fusion for NASCAR Sprint Cup Series racing. Will it be a success or a bust? Well, the boys at the “Blue Oval” currently have a bad case of race fever. We’re guessing new is better.

Will Danica’s new hue bring new horses?

AP PHOTO/MIKE MCCARN

What do we learn this week?

3. APE shirt Carolina Panther coach Ron Rivera and Chip Ganassi are good friends. Rivera gave Ganassi Racing employees a pep talk. He told the team success comes from attitude, preparation and effort (APE). Ganassi sent the Panther coaches APE shirts before they left for the Super Bowl.

NASCAR finally has a rookie class worthy of attention. The roster is led by Chase Elliott, son of “Awesome Bill from Dawsonville,” making his first Daytona 500 start. He will be challenged by Ryan Blaney, Chris Buescher, Brian Scott and Jeffrey Earnhardt, son of Kerry Earnhardt, Dale Jr.’s big brother. This could be a season-long dogfight.

2. Speedweeks view NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers look at the seasonopening Daytona 500 and Speedweeks as an event onto itself. Martin Truex Jr. called Speedweeks a “mini-season”

before the “real” racing begins. With the new Chase format, all the top drivers go for the win, not the points, which likely explains why the Daytona 500 was the best race of 2015.

And what about Danica’s new colors?

3. Kinda weird Two of NASCAR’s top drivers and fiercest competitors for nearly two decades will not be in the Daytona 500, which will seem a bit weird.

Jeff Gordon, a four-time series champ, will be calling the race for Fox Sports, while Tony Stewart, a three-time titleholder, will miss the race because of an injury to his back last week. Who will grab the spotlight?

A change from GoDaddy green to the baby blue of Nature’s Bakery should be worth a few horsepower, assuming you believe in the ageold NASCAR superstition regarding green cars.

Oh, wait, doesn’t Kyle Busch have a lot of green in his closet and on his car? Never mind.

Early fireworks?

We can only hope. In past years, the Friday night Bud Shootout/Sprint Unlimited tuneup has produced some wagging fingers and death-glares. With Tony sidelined, the odds are lowered a bit, but not much. Mostly, though, prepare for plenty of gushing over Daytona Rising. Darrell Waltrip will treat it as the greatest modernization since they opened Opryland.

3 THINGS TO WATCH 1. Lots of rookies

Aside from learning how the No. 14 team will proceed without Tony Stewart, and how those new sponsor colors look on Danica, there’s not a lot to be learned by a Friday practice session and a Saturday night sprint race with roughly half the teams bunched together in restrictorplate formation. That doesn’t mean it can’t be entertaining, though.
