D.C. shooting injures 5 Steve Scalise

WASHINGTON (AP) — A top House Republican, Steve Scalise of Louisiana, was shot by a rifle-wielding gunman today at a congressional baseball practice just outside of Washington.

Several other people were also

wounded, officials said.

Capitol Police said officers who were part of Scalise’s security detail returned fire and wounded the shooter, who was taken into custody. In all, five people were taken to area hospitals, including the

suspect, Alexandria police said.

Scalise, 51, the No. 3 House Republican leader first elected to the House in 2008, was in stable condition and undergoing surgery at a nearby hospital. His See SHOOTING | Page A4

Froggatte gets an eyeful

By SHELLIE SMITLEY The Iola Register

HUMBOLDT — This is part 12 of a 14-part series following Nina Froggatte’s journey through police training at the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center, Hutchinson.

Last week Nina Froggatte got doused in the eyes with pepper spray and then completed an obstacle course as part of her training.

“I did pretty well,” she said. “I was worried that I was not going to get through the course very well, but from the time I got sprayed until the time I signed out medically was 12 minutes.”

Once she got sprayed, she ran to a station and hit a punching bag for a certain amount of time, then she scurried to the next station where she was required to grab a baton. At the third station she fought to keep her gun from being taken.

Lastly, she reported to dispatch and described the suspect who sprayed her.

“The mist is not what burns,” she said. “There

are really fine granules that you can’t see and that is what gets into your eyes.”

Once she c o m p l e t e d Nina Frogatte the course she rinsed her eyes and then prove she could keep them open.

“You basically have to be well enough to be able to drive a car before they will let you sign yourself out,” she said.

Froggatte said the pepper spray ran out as the student before her got sprayed.

Instructors opened a new can just for her eyes, assuring she got a good dose.

“It was horrible,” she said.

Froggatte took it like a champ and did not yell or scream. By the time she called dispatch she had to hold her eyelids open and found it difficult to breathe.

All of Froggatte’s hard work is paying off. In 10 days she will graduate.

For generations, cemeteries often feature special markers for graves of military veterans.

Iola’s two cemeteries are no different.

The most common is a simple “U.S. Veteran” medallion affixed to a small aluminum post.

However, over the years, those markers, usually made of aluminum, bronze or other metal, have become prime targets for thieves.

Maggie Barnett, a member of the LaHarpe Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary, counted 60 missing

markers during a canvass of Iola’s Highland Cemetery. She and others hope to replace them.Barnett has been successful in getting about 10 markers, but that leaves 50 that still need to be replaced. With the cost of each pegged at $17.25, that means she needs to raise nearly $900.They’ve set an even loftier goal of $1,000. (Cash donations will be accepted as well.)

The LaHarpe VFW and Iola American Legion post are teaming up 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturday for a bake sale in front of Iola Walmart.

Public restrooms pursued

By BOB JOHNSON The Iola Register

There will be less squirming to deal with nature’s call if Thrive Allen County has its way.

Bill Maness, director of economic development, encouraged Allen County commissioners to lock arms with Iola city leaders and find a way to finance downtown restrooms. Maness’s plea to Iola council members Monday night drew a receptive response.

Commissioners Tom Williams and Jim Talkington also expressed interest, as did Commissioner Jerry Daniels, who joined discussion by speaker phone while on duty as a life-flight helicopter pilot in Chanute.

Maness, former Iola mayor and southeast Kansas representative for Sen. Jerry Moran, said he envisioned a federal Community Development Block Grant as a likely source of revenue.

“If you (county and city) come up with a 50 percent match (rather than 25) it would enhance our chances of getting a grant,” he said.

Public restrooms to accommodate the crowds attending the summer band concerts, the farmers market, and any number of downtown events long have been discussed as desirable in downtown Iola. Maness proposed putting two restrooms — one for men, the other for women — in the pocket park west of City Hall. Timed locks, he said,

Bill Maness, director of economic development proposed putting two restrooms — one for men, the other for women — in the pocket park west of City Hall. REGISTER/RICHARD LUKEN could protect interiors from vandalism during the dead of night. If constructed of brick, the building would blend into that of city hall next door.

No cost was mentioned.

Maness said he would pursue details and report back to commissioners, as well as Iola council members.

Ron Holman, courthouse maintenance supervisor, quickly signed on as a fan of the proposal. Holman often is called on to open the courthouse during off-hours to make its restrooms available.

In other business, commissioners heard several requests for budget increases in 2018, including from Allen County Conservation District – $10,000 more from $30,000 this year to $40,000.

Colleen Riebel, district manager, said state cuts to the

district’s budget amounted to $2,000 this year and that she had been told the state would pare another $5,000 in 2018.

Tim Cunningham, TriValley Developmental Services director, asked for a more modest increase of $2,000, to $67,000. TriValley Development has proposed a budget of $5.17 million for 2018. Allen County’s contribution has been $65,000 annually since 2014.

TVDS serves 86 Allen County clients. Of its staff, 23 work in Allen County and 22 live within the county’s boundaries.

Services are provided in Allen, Woodson, Neosho and Bourbon counties, to find and hone ways for people with any number of challenges to live normal lives.

Trump targets banking rules WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration is proposing to curb the authority of the consumer finance watchdog created following the economic crisis as it drives toward easing restrictions on banks and financial institutions.

The Treasury Department issued Monday the first part of a review that was ordered by President Donald Trump in one of his earliest acts as president.

The report reviewing the Dodd-Frank financial oversight law also urges changes to rules for banks that were put in place under the 2010 law. The law aimed to restrain banks — which received hundreds of millions in taxpayer bailouts — from the kind of misconduct that many blamed for the crisis.

The law was en-

acted by President Barack Obama and Democrats in Congress to tighten regulation after the 2008-09 financial crisis that sparked the Great Recession that cost millions of Americans their jobs and homes.

Trump, however, has called Dodd-Frank a “disaster” that has crimped lending, hiring and the overall economy. He promised to do “a big number” on it.

“Properly structuring regulation of the U.S. financial system is critical to achieve the administration’s goal of sustained economic growth, and to create opportunities for all Americans to benefit from a stronger economy,” Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in a statement Monday.

The report outlines what it calls core principles of financial

regulation — including overhauling the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and having more “efficient” bank rules.

The CFPB oversees the practices of companies that provide financial products and services, from credit cards and payday loans to mortgages and debt collection. It has been a prime target of Republican lawmakers, who accuse it of regulatory overreach.

The new report urges Congress to remove the agency’s authority to supervise banks and financial companies, returning that power to other federal and state regulators, respectively. And it proposes enabling the president to remove the CFPB director at will without citing a cause for firing.

That’s the subject of a battle now in federal court.

Sessions: Russia collusion allegations ‘detestable’ WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Jeff Sessions heatedly denied on Tuesday having an undisclosed meeting with Russia’s ambassador to the U.S. and declared it was a “detestable and appalling lie” to suggest he was aware of or took part in any collusion between Russia and the election campaign that sent Donald Trump to the White House.

Testifying at a packed Senate hearing, Sessions, who was a close Trump adviser during the battle for the presidency, also rejected any idea of misconduct in the ouster of FBI Director James Comey and vowed to defend his honor “against scurrilous and false allegations.”

In his dramatic appeara n c e before former colleagues, Sessions Jeff Sessions contradicted a contention made by Comey at a hearing before the same panel last week. Comey told the intelligence committee that, after an encounter with President Trump in which he said Trump pressured him to back off an investigation into the former national security adviser, Comey implored Sessions to make sure he was never left alone with the president again — but Sessions didn’t respond.

“He didn’t recall this, but I responded to his

Doc sez “Let’s stress-proof our pets” All of us, including our pets, breathe a sigh of relief when summer arrives. The days are longer, the temperatures cozy warm and, for many of us, our schedules relax (just a tiny bit…). And then…Dum-ta-da-dum, it’s nearing the 4th of July. Suddenly, the weather is hotter, the household is full of family and friends and there are FIREWORKS!! Noisy, bright, absolutelyunexplainable-to-a-dog FIREWORKS! More dogs go missing during this holiday than any other time of the year. Many dogs find the sudden, unpredictable, concussive sound waves and flashes of brilliant lights traumatic and if they are loose outdoors, they will frantically try to avoid the disturbance. So that we humans can enjoy an exciting holiday while protecting our pets, here are a few tips for helping “stressproof” out pets.

Have a place where your pet feels safe and that keeps them confined. For some families that is a quiet bedroom, a bathroom or any location where they like to hide out in a storm. (For our dogs it is the bathroom or under my desk) Don’t abandon your pets. Go and check on them. Reassure them and pet them. Keep them company and observe for signs of distress, such as excessive panting, shaking or whimpering.

Keep food and water available to your pets and attend to their bathroom needs. If it is during the day and the neighborhood children are tossing “poppers” and lighting “lady-fingers” ask for a temporary cease-fire, so that your dog can visit the backyard for a while. Plan a backyard visit just before dusk to help them settle for the rest of the evening.

If your pet is one of the many who is truly panicked by the Independence Day holiday, we have several remedies that you can try. For some dogs a simple dose of melatonin may settle them, for other dogs, as well as cats, pheromones in the form of a collar or room diffuser may provide comfort, and there are true sedatives for distressed animals with no other recourse. One of the newer products that is enjoying popularity is a gel formula called Sileo, that is specifically targeted to noise aversion and phobia. Sileo should calm your dog with a dose of gel that you place between the dog’s cheek and gum, leaving him or her alert and functional. We have had many reports of satisfaction after the use of Sileo.

We will all enjoy the noisy celebration more if we are not worried about our pets. Let’s plan ahead to stress-proof them this 4th of July!

Shooting: Five injured this morning in D.C. Continued from A1

injuries were not believed to be life-threatening. It was not known the condition of the others who were shot.

President Donald Trump said he was “deeply saddened by this tragedy” and was monitoring developments.

The shooting occurred at a popular park and baseball complex in Alexandria, Virginia, where lawmakers and others were gathered for a morning practice about 7 a.m.

The team was taking batting practice when a gunshot rang out and chaos erupted, lawmak-

ers on the scene said.

“All of a sudden we heard a very loud shot.

The gunman was over by the third base dugout with a clear view of the field,” Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., told CNN. Scalise was fielding balls on second base when he was shot, Flake said. He said the congressman dragged himself 10 to 15 yards into the outfield to get further away from the gunman.

Initial reports said that as many as 50 shots had been fired, but Flake said, “50 would be an understatement. He had a lot of ammo.”

Katie Filous was

walking her two dogs near the field when she heard “a lot of shots, probably more than 20.” She said the shooting “went on for quite a while.”

Filous said she saw the shooter hit a uniformed law enforcement officer, who she said was later evacuated by helicopter. She said the officer had gotten out of a parked car, drawn a handgun and shouted something to the gunman, who then fired.

Once the gunman was down, Flake ran to Scalise and tended to him. He said he grabbed Scalise’s phone to call his wife.

“I just didn’t want her to wake up and learn the news,” Flake said.

Rep. Mo Brooks, an Alabama Republican, said that Scalise had what appeared to be “a hip wound.” The Alabama lawmaker said he colleague “crawled into the outfield, leaving a trail of blood.”

“We started giving him the liquids, I put pressure on his wound in his hip,” Brooks said.

Brooks said two law enforcement officers were believed to be among the others shot.

Texas Rep. Roger Williams says a member of his staff was also shot and was receiving medi-

cal attention. Williams did not say what condition the staffer was in.

House Speaker Paul Ryan’s office said Scalise’s wounds were not believed to be lifethreatening and that a member of the security detail was also shot.

Rep. Jeff Duncan said he was at the practice and said “saw the shooter.”

“Please pray for my colleagues,” Duncan said.

Associated Press reporters Chad Day, Mary Clare Jalonick, Ken Thomas, Vivian Salama and Sarah Brumfield contributed to this report.

The sky is the limit LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — KFC plans to make a space pioneer out of a chicken sandwich next week when it sends it to the edge of the atmosphere with the help of a high-altitude balloon.

The promotional stunt for the Zinger sandwich comes two months after the fast food chain unveiled Rob Lowe playing Kentucky Fried Chicken founder Col. Harland Sanders in a space suit as part of an ad campaign. The ads promised to send the breaded chicken sandwich into space.

Disaster: Farm couple deal with blizzard as crops suffer Continued from A1

Big Bow between Ulysses and Johnson. The blizzard that blasted this region of Kansas in late spring delivered another blow to their fragile existence on the great High Plains.

On the early afternoon of April 29, the storm blew in with a vengeance and blanketed some of Grant County with as much as 20 inches of heavy, wet snow. A blizzard of this magnitude seems to hit western Kansas just about every 30 years.

The last one occurred in 1987 and the one before that swept in during the tail end of winter in 1957.

Marieta recalls what happened this year. Before the snow ever started that afternoon, more than two inches of rain fell.

“Out here you have to prime the pump, before moisture really starts coming,” she says. “It snowed and the wind howled for nearly two days. In the middle of the night the electricity went out.”

When the snow stopped late Sunday afternoon, the sun came out and the sky turned a deep blue. On the ground, nothing but beautiful white snow.

Underneath the snow, that was a different story.

“The first day after the blizzard, you couldn’t see the wheat,” Tom recalls. “The crop was buried under the snow. When I saw that I didn’t hold much hope for a crop.”

Day by day as the snow melted, the wheat picked itself up from the ground as if to say, “I still have some life left.”

Still, the 2017 wheat crop didn’t look as bountiful as before. As Tom continued to visit the fields and check on the status of the crop, he found a bit of frost damage with crocked heads containing white beards.

The Grant County farmer also found some hail damage and the weight of the snow broke some of the wheat stems about six to 12 inches from the ground.

Not all the wheat laid over by the snow stood back up. Touches of yellow in the crop indicated mosaic wheat virus.

As May moved into June, the wheat continued to head out and fill.

Weak spots in some of the stocks broke off and fell to the ground.

What happens to this year’s wheat crop will be determined by the weather. If it remains dry, farmers may be able to harvest downed wheat with a pick-up header.

What will the Hauser

wheat crop make this year?

If it stays standing, Tom believes he could harvest 25-bushel wheat. Before the blizzard he hoped to harvest a 40-bushel crop, maybe even some 50-bushel wheat.

Last year Tom harvested the best crop since he started farming back in 1975. This bumper crop averaged better than 50-bushelsper acre.

“We broke even after raising the best crop in more than 40 years farming,” he says. “The price of wheat continued to decline.”

This year he faces the same depressed commodity prices coupled with escalating debt.

“I love farming,” Tom says. “It’s the best life I can imagine – raising food for people. Despite this rough period, I’m in it for the long run.”

An ace-in-the-hole that helps the Hausers keep farming remains Marieta’s off-farm employment. She’s worked since they were married except when their children were small.

She currently serves as the Ulysses chamber director. The down-turn impacts Mainstreet as well as farmers and ranchers in this region of the state.

Before last year’s bumper crop, the Haus-

ers experienced approximately five years of drought. While they insure their crops, each year costs more and yield averages continue to decrease.

The Grant County couple has discussed on more than one occasion how far in the hole they want to go before they pack their bags and leave farming.

“How many disasters beyond our control can we handle and still continue?” Marieta asks.

“I know one thing for certain, without our offfarm income the Hausers probably wouldn’t be farming today.”

The farm couple hasn’t hit that point yet.

They understand that agriculture remains a difficult vocation. Commodity prices go up and

down.

International trade can be a fickle friend.

Still the tradition of western Kansas farmers and ranchers is steeped in the traditions of adversity. The dust bowl years of the Dirty ‘30s.

Drought. Too much rain. The white combine (hail). Wind and tornadoes. Tumbleweeds that take on cars and trucks and leave their mark.

“It’s either feast or famine out here,” Tom says. “Most of the time the famine outweighs and lasts longer than the feasts.”

Still, farm couples like the Hausers love the life they live.

“I guarantee you this,” Marieta says. “At night when I drive home and I see the sun setting and all the beautiful col-

ors of orange, pink and purples and the wind has finally died down – oh my goodness – it’s like no other place on earth.”

And like the others who inhabit this isolated, rural land and communities, everyone pulls together. Neighbors help each other and understand out here, farming bonds people and community together.

“Times will turn around,” Tom says.

“We’ll cut wheat this year.”

Yes, wheat harvest in Grant County will soon begin and finish almost as quickly.

Dry weather will return. But, such an event as the blizzard of 2017 will remain the center of conversation for quite some time.

Marieta and Hauser farm a couple of miles from Big Bow between Ulysses and Johnson. The blizzard that blasted this region of Kansas in late spring delivered another blow to their fragile existence on the great High Plains.

Self-serving exercise It is not expected behavior to genuflect before a U.S. president.

Typically, such adulation is reserved for popes and royalty and only because of centuries-old customs.

So it must have been awkward for members of President Trump’s cabinet to kneel — at least metaphorically — before their superior when he prompted them, on camera, to pay their respects.

Mr. Trump helped set the tone, saying he is one of the most productive presidents in history, only second, perhaps, to Franklin D. Roosevelt, who had the Great Depression and World War

II on his hands.

One by one, the members followed suit, heaping their praises high.

“We thank you for the opportunity and the blessing to serve your agenda,” gushed Reince Preibus, chief of staff. And so on.

THOUGH it’s too late for Mr. Trump, the rest of us should remember the value of humility. How tooting your own horn is off-key.

That respect can only be earned.

Monday’s roundtable was a superfluous exercise in ego stroking. Sounds exhausting.

Voters want ‘better,’ not ‘change’ Last week’s election in Britain brings a message for us in the States: Electorates are volatile and unpredictable.

Voters are mirroring what is happening around them. Terrorist strikes. Global shifts of power and influence. Bitter, acrimonious partisan debates.

And a fundamental question as to where traditional Western democracy fits in a new world order.

In Britain, many are raising a glass of schadenfreude.

Conservative Prime Minister Theresa May came to power after then Prime Minister David Cameron called for an illadvised referendum on Brexit, assuming voters would not choose to leave the European Union. He got it wrong. May called for a “snap election” because she was riding high in public opinion polls. Several terrorist attacks may have changed that popularity. One of May’s unpopular policies was massive cuts for police.

The result of last week was she was severely weakened and is seeking to form a coalition government in an attempt to stay in power.

America is not Britain. For starters, our president faces voters every four years. There are no snap elections. The midterms are the first indica-

tor of where things may go for an incumbent president two years later. That we don’t go to polls so often is a good thing.

Whatever anyone thinks of Donald Trump’s presidency, our government is structured to be stable regardless of who sits in the Oval Office.

Pundits and consultants are still trying to figure out what happened last year, even as they now focus on the ongoing investigations into Russian interference with the 2016 presidential race and whether members of the Trump campaign colluded with Russians.

American voters are as unsettled with their place in the world as are the Brits. The dominance of China in global markets, the rise of a Sovietlike Russia and the inability to stop a state-less form of terrorism challenges our democratic values.

Britain narrowly chose to withdraw from the EU. Trump voters were drawn to his “America First” rhetoric. Yet isolationism, while an appealing concept on the campaign trail, is not a practical policy in the 21st century.

British voters may have buyer’s remorse for voting to exit the EU. Some Trump voters may feel the same way about their candidate. But it

is unlikely that a change in government in Britain will result in a redo of Brexit. And it is equally unlikely that last week’s sensational Senate testimony by former FBI Director James Comey will result in an immediate resolution of what Trump operatives did during the 2016 campaign or what the president’s intentions were in private conversations with his FBI director.

But the unease with government — in Britain and here — cannot be ignored by elected officials. Citizens want better governance and the only tool they have to get it is at polling places. The Trump administration has stumbled out of the gate and may not be able to find its focus. It is too early to tell. Democrats who see last week as the beginning of the end for Trump and the right wing of the Republican Party should do well to look at May. Public opinion is indeed volatile, but U.S. election cycles are designed to be at least partially insulated from those vagaries.

In the end, voters want “better” which is not the same as “change.” Leaders who understand the difference and can deliver will succeed.

— The Record (Hackensack, N.J.)

Politician’s apology goes a long ways Greg Gianforte won’t be serving jail time before going to Congress this summer.

The Montana Republican, who won last month’s special election to fill the seat vacated by the new interior secretary, will instead have to complete 40 hours of community service and devote 20 hours to anger management sessions.

Gianforte pled guilty to misdemeanor assault for physically attacking and injuring journalist Ben Jacobs at a campaign event on May 24, the day before the election. Judge Rick West said he had considered four days of imprisonment but shifted the sentence after learning that a work program alternative was not available for the charge. The judge didn’t want the congressmanelect to “take up space” in jail.

“You accepted responsibility,” he said. “You apologized.”

Gianforte’s actions were completely disgraceful. Jacobs, an American reporter working for the British publication The Guardian, was questioning the candidate about the Republican healthcare plan. Gianforte’s response was to slam him to the floor and start punching, yelling “I’m sick and tired of this,” according to a Fox News reporter on the scene. Jacobs suffered an elbow injury and broken glasses.

Following the incident, a few partisan voices tried to defend Gianforte. “Jacobs is an obnoxious, dishonest firstclass jerk. I’m not surprised he got smacked,” tweeted Brent Bozell, a longtime media watchdog on the right. It was an absurd defense of the indefensible. We hope that anyone who sought to downplay the assault pays equal attention to Gianforte’s recent actions: A June 7 written apology that doesn’t weasel out, and a symbolic donation of $50,000 to the Committee to Protect Journalists (symbolic in that the tech entrepreneur’s net worth approaches $300 million).

“My physical response to your legitimate question was unprofessional, unacceptable and unlawful. As both a candidate for office and a public official, I should be held to a high standard in my interactions with the press and the public.

My treatment of you did not meet that standard,” he wrote.

“Notwithstanding anyone’s statements to the contrary, you did not initiate any physical contact with me, and I had no right to assault you. I am sorry for what I did and the unwanted notoriety this has created for you. I take full responsibility. I understand the critical role that journalists and the media play in our society. ... I made a mistake and humbly

ask for your forgiveness.”

The “notwithstanding anyone’s statements to the contrary” is important. His campaign spokesman falsely claimed that Jacobs acted first by grabbing the candidate’s wrists.

Jacobs has behaved correctly by keeping his cool. “I have accepted his apology and fully expect his thoughtful words to be followed by concrete actions once he has taken his seat in Congress,” he said. “I hope the constructive resolution of this incident reinforces for all the importance of respecting the freedom of the press.”

The Ben Jacobs episode follows the May 9 jailing of West Virginia radio reporter Dan Heyman for dogged questioning of Health Secretary Tom Price at an event in the West Virginia capitol. On May 18, a Roll Call reporter was pinned against the wall by two security officials at the Federal Communications Commission.

These are disquieting events but, as always, journalists should stay alert while keeping a sense of perspective. In Mexico, at least nine journalists have been killed this year.

In Russia, the body count is three so far for 2017. See the Committee to Protect Journalists website for more (cpj.org).

— Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

November 2018 will be here soon After 113 days, the Legislature finally passed a budget bill for fiscal years 2018 and 2019. Additional funding will be allocated to safety net clinics, providers of Home and CommunityBased Services (disability assistance subsidized

by Medicaid), and community mental health centers.

Moreover, state employees will receive pay increases — many of whom haven’t seen a raise in almost a decade. While the budget certainly isn’t perfect, lawmakers faced monumental problems this session — everyone knew it was impossible for Kansas to emerge from the rubble of Gov. Sam Brownback’s tax experiment unscathed.

Many Kansans can probably identify with the words of Sen. Laura Kelly, D-Topeka, who was involved in final budget negotiations: “The whole end of this session has felt like a return to the Kansas I knew and loved, where we restored the sanity to our tax structure, and I think we did the best we could for folks with the budget.” When the Legislature overrode Brownback’s veto of a $1.2 billion tax bill last week, the period of ultra-conservative domination in Topeka came to an end (at least for the time being). You might say the victories of moderate Republicans and Democrats in last year’s elections made this outcome inevitable, but it would be a mistake to pretend like this new political alliance is invulnerable.

It may have taken almost half a decade, but Kansans deserve credit for recognizing that Brownback’s tax cuts are to blame for the state’s fiscal crisis. Many legislative candidates campaigned on explicitly antiBrownback platforms, and they followed through by passing a bill that essentially demolished the 2012 tax cuts. However, lawmakers shouldn’t dismiss the point made by Rep. Jene Vickrey, R-Louisburg, after the Legislature adjourned on Sat-

urday: “I believe that this will help ... take back this Kansas House to a conservative Legislature who reflects who the state really is.”

Although Kansans have proven that they aren’t as ideologically homogeneous as many Americans think, this is still the state that re-elected Brownback in 2014 and elected President Trump with more than 56 percent of the vote. There’s no point in denying the fact that Kansas has conservative inclinations, and this means we can’t be complacent about the moderate political mood in the state. Secretary of State Kris Kobach clearly agrees with Vickrey about “who the state really is” — he describes the $1.2 billion tax bill as “disastrous” and argues that “Kansas taxpayers do not need to pay higher taxes to feed state government.”

Now that he’s a gubernatorial candidate, Kansans need to remember just how destructive this attitude has been over the past few years.

While he isn’t popular (his average rating was 4.03 out of 10 in a recent poll), Kobach is the most prominent politician in Kansas.

Moreover, his core message has certainly resonated in the state before. Don’t underestimate him.

That said, we have faith in the common sense of Kansas voters. From their support for Medicaid expansion to their opposition to a tax policy that was bankrupting the state, they have surprised the people who think they know exactly “who the state really is” again and again. Most Kansans understand that citizens sometimes have to assume a slightly larger tax burden to save their state from fiscal ruin. They know the middle class benefits from well-maintained roads and adequately funded state services.

We just hope they remember these things in November 2018.

After pool-play, all six teams will be seeded and placed into a bracket for Sunday’s singleelimination tournament. The top seeds in each pool will get a bye.

Bracket-play will begin at 9 a.m., on Sunday with games being played at both Neosho County Community College’s Hudson Field and Katy Park.

The championship game is scheduled to be at Katy Park at 4:30 p.m.

WICHITA — Steven Riebel, LaHarpe, was inducted into the Special Olympics Kansas Hall of Fame during opening ceremonies of the Summer Olympic Games on June 2, at Maize South High School in Wichita.

ing and involvement in a variety of sports training and competition.

Your good citizenship and willingness to encourage your friends on the Independents team, makes you an outstanding person as well as an outstanding athlete. Congratulations. You are most deserving of your election to the Hall of Fame.”

Iola Recreational Leagues:

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — His surgically repaired left elbow no longer a concern, Jason Vargas is pitching better than he has at any time in his career.

That and a solid rapport with veteran catcher Salvador Perez have Vargas on quite a roll.

Vargas pitched seven strong innings, Alcides Escobar hit a two-run

double in a six-run sixth and the Kansas City Royals beat the San Francisco Giants 8-1 on Tuesday night.

“He was sharp, he was on the attack, commanded his pitch count well, good off-speed stufff, excellent,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “He’s just back to being healthy. When he was healthy before, Vargy was really good.”

Just not this good.

Around the League: Kershaw dazzles as Dodgers topple Indians CLEVELAND (AP) — Clayton Kershaw extended his unbeaten string and rookie Cody Bellinger hit two home runs, including a tiebreaking shot in the eighth inning off Andrew Miller that lifted the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 7-5 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday night.

Kershaw (9-2) allowed two runs in seven innings and has not lost in his last eight starts. The left-hander gave up a run in the third on Michael Brantley’s single and a leadoff homer to Roberto Perez in the fifth that tied the game.

The three-time Cy Young Award winner yielded six hits, struck out four and walked two while throwing 101 pitches. He is 5-0 with a 1.94 ERA since his most recent defeat on May 1.

Bellinger led off the eighth with a towering drive into the right-field seats off Miller (3-1). The home run was the first Cleveland’s dominant lefthander has allowed in 33 innings this season.

TWINS 20, MARINERS 7 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Eddie Rosario hit three home runs and drove in five runs and the Twins set a franchise record with 28 hits while batting around in two different innings of a victory over the Mariners.

Max Kepler and Brian Dozier also went deep, Eduardo Escobar had five hits and two RBIs and Jason Castro had four hits and four RBIs for the Twins, who are in first place in the AL Central despite an AL-worst 13-19 record at Target Field.

The 28 hits are the most in a game since the Rangers had 29 in a 30-3 win over the Orioles on Aug. 22, 2007.

Christian Bergman (34) gave up nine runs and 10 hits in 2 1-3 innings for the Mariners. Jarrod Dyson had a homer, a double and an RBI. Ben Gamel had two doubles and an RBI. WHITE SOX 6, ORIOLES 1

CHICAGO (AP) — Matt Davidson hit his first career grand slam, Derek Holland scattered eight hits over six innings and the White Sox beat the Orioles.

Jose Abreu went 3 for 4 and Avisail Garcia had a two-run double as Chicago won its second straight after dropping nine of 11.

Davidson leads the White Sox with 12 homers in 163 at-bats.

Manny Machado had an RBI-single for the Orioles, who dropped to 31-32 with the loss.

Holland (5-6) faced trouble in every inning, but managed to give up just one run. The left-hander had lost his three previous starts, allowing 15 earned runs in 13 innings (10.38 ERA) during that span.

Baltimore starter Alec Asher (2-5) allowed six runs and six hits in fiveplus innings following a fast start.

RAYS 8, BLUE JAYS 1 TORONTO (AP) — Rookie Jacob Faria dazzled again and Logan Morrison hit his 18th home run of the season to help the Rays beat the Blue Jays.

Six days after his bigleague debut, Faria (2-0) became the third Rays pitcher all-time to win his first two career games, joining Jeremy Hellickson and Joe Kennedy. The victory was Tampa Bay’s sixth in its last seven games.

The 23-year-old righthander held the Blue Jays to six hits in 6 1/3 innings, striking out eight and giving up one run. He was called up on Monday to replace Matt Andriese, who went on the disabled list with a hip complaint.

Corey Dickerson went 4 for 5 with a homer — his 15th of the season.

Marco Estrada (4-5) had his shortest outing of the season, lasting just 3 1/3 innings after giving up 12 hits and being charged with six runs in his sixth straight loss to Tampa.

DIAMONDBACKS 7, TIGERS 6 DETROIT (AP) — David Peralta homered to left

(1-1) pitched a scoreless seventh for the win and Matt Bush allowed one hit in 1 1/3 innings for his eighth save.

George Springer and Carlos Correa hit solo homers for the first-place Astros, who lost for the sixth time in eight games.

The Miami Marlins’ Giancarlo Stanton hits a two-run home run during the fifth inning against the Oakland Athletics at Marlins Park in Miami on Tuesday. The Marlins won, 8-1. David Santiago/El Nuevo Herald/TNS center in the ninth inning off Detroit closer Justin Wilson, lifting the Diamondbacks to a win over the Tigers.

Arizona reliever Archie Bradley (2-1) pitched a scoreless eighth to pick up the win. Zack Greinke, who was staked to a 6-0 lead in the third, went 5 2/3 innings and allowed five runs, all unearned, and five hits. Fernando Rodney pitched a scoreless ninth for his 17th save.

Wilson (2-2) took the loss after allowing the homer to Peralta on the first pitch in the ninth.

Starter Buck Farmer went 2 1/3 innings and allowed six runs on nine hits. He was 2-0 and had gone 13 straight scoreless innings before Tuesday.

The Diamondbacks jumped on Farmer early, scoring twice in the first inning on Chris Owings’ RBI single and Brandon Drury’s RBI single.

Arizona added four runs in the third on tworun homers by Paul Goldschmidt and Drury, giving the Diamondbacks a 6-0 advantage.

NATIONALS 10, BRAVES 5 WASHINGTON (AP) — Ryan Zimmerman hit his 18th and 19th home runs of the season in his return from back soreness, and the Nationals scored five sixth-inning runs against R.A. Dickey to defeat the Braves.

Daniel Murphy homered, doubled and had three hits and two RBIs as the NL-East leading Nationals scored eight runs against a second Braves starter in as many nights.

Unlike Monday, Washington’s bullpen held firm Tuesday with four relievers combining for 3 1/3 scoreless innings. Trevor Gott (1-0) worked out of the sixth for his first victory as a National.

Dickey (4-5) went fiveplus innings while allowing his most runs since April 24, 2015.

Atlanta’s Rio Ruiz hit a two-run homer. Dansby Swanson and Brandon Phillips both had three hits for the Braves.

CARDINALS 6, BREWERS 0, Game 1 BREWERS 8, CARDINALS 5, Game 2 ST. LOUIS (AP) — Keon Broxton and Travis Shaw each hit solo home runs and combined for five RBI to help the Brewers beat the Cardinals and split their day-night doubleheader.

The Cardinals won the opener 6-0 behind Jose Martinez’s two home runs.

In the nightcap, Shaw’s eighth inning single against Trevor Rosenthal (1-3) broke a 5-5 tie. Shaw, who was reinstated from a family medical emergency before the doubleheader, went 2-for-5 in the second game and drove in two runs.

Brewers right-hander Jimmy Nelson went 5 2/3 innings, but is still winless in 11 career games (10 starts) against the Cardinals. He gave up nine hits, two walks and struck out four.

Jared Hughes (2-1) got the decision after giving up a game-tying homer to Matt Carpenter. Corey Knebel earned his ninth saves in 12 opportunities.

MARLINS 8, ATHLETICS 1 MIAMI (AP) — Giancarlo Stanton returned to the Marlins’ starting lineup after recovering from a bruised wrist and hit a two-run homer to help beat the Athletics.

Stanton missed only one start after being hit on the right wrist by a fastball Saturday. His 17th homer of the year put Miami ahead 4-1 in the fifth inning.

Marcell Ozuna hit his 16th homer and had two singles, hiking his average to .332. Tyler Moore added three hits, including a two-run double.

The Marlins’ Ichiro Suzuki had a pinch-hit single in the eighth for his 364th interleague hit, tying Derek Jeter’s major league record.

Jose Urena (5-2) won his fourth consecutive decision by allowing one run in six-plus innings. The right-hander, who leads the Marlins in wins, retired 14 straight batters before tiring in the seventh.

The Athletics (27-37), who have the worst record in the American League, fell to 10 games below .500 for the first time. They are 9-24 on the road.

RED SOX 4, PHILLIES 3, 12 innings BOSTON (AP) — Andrew Benintendi singled to right in the 12th inning driving in Xander Bogaerts from third for the winning run as the Red Sox outlasted the Phillies.

Mitch Moreland hit one homer and barely missed another in the 12th with a long single off the Green Monster, allowing Bogaerts to advance to third and set up Benintendi’s first career walk-off hit.

The ball bounced over the short wall in right, but was officially still a single.

It didn’t matter much as the Red Sox beat the Phillies in extra innings for the second straight night, extending Philadelphia’s losing streak to seven straight.

Fernando Abad (2-0) pitched the 11th and 12th for Boston, which blew great opportunities in the first two extra innings before finally cashing in after Louis Garcia (1-1) walked Bogaerts with one out in the 12th.

Boston left 12 runners on base and was just 2 for 12 with runners in scoring position until Benentendi finally put an end to it, then got doused with an ice bucket in front of the Boston dugout.

RANGERS 4, ASTROS 2 HOUSTON (AP) — Rougned Odor hit a solo homer in the seventh inning and his tiebreaking two-run shot in the eighth lifted the Rangers to a victory over the Astros.

Odor tied it at 2-all when he dropped the first pitch of the seventh inning from Chris Devenski into the front row in right field.

He was at it again in the eighth when, after a single

by Jonathan Lucroy with two outs, he connected off Luke Gregerson (2-2) into the seats in left field to put Texas up 4-2. It was the fifth career multi-home run game for Odor, who finished with three hits, and his second this season.

Nick Martinez allowed five hits and two runs in six innings. Jose Leclerc

PIRATES 5, ROCKIES 2 PITTSBURGH (AP) — John Jaso hit a pinch-hit two-run homer off Colorado’s Adam Ottavino in the seventh inning to break a tie and Andrew McCutchen homered twice as the Pirates pulled away from the Rockies.

Jaso sent the second pitch he saw from Ottavino (0-1) just over the fence in center field for his second pinch-hit homer of the season and fifth of his career. Gerrit Cole (4-6) broke out of a funk to allow just one run in seven strong innings.

The Pirates have won a season-high four straight following a four-game losing streak that dropped them to last in the NL Central.

Tony Wolters had two hits and an RBI for Colorado. Trevor Story drove

in a run and scored for the Rockies. The NL Westleading Rockies have dropped three consecutive games for the first time this season.

CUBS 14, METS 3 NEW YORK (AP) — Anthony Rizzo began the game with a long home run after a surprising move to the leadoff spot, rookie Ian Happ hit his first career grand slam and the Cubs trounced the Mets.

Backed by a season-best seven-run second inning, the World Series champs snapped a nine-game skid on the road and moved back to .500 through 64 games. The Cubs had lost five of six overall.

Jon Lester (4-4) earned his 150th win and matched a season high with 10 strikeouts. He allowed a run and five hits over seven innings.

Rizzo, batting leadoff for the first time in his career, had two hits, three RBIs and a bases-loaded walk. He’s reached base in 21 of his last 36 plate appearances.

PADRES 6, REDS 2 SAN DIEGO (AP) — Clayton Richard carried a shutout into the ninth inning, Franchy Cordero homered twice and the Padres beat the slumping Reds.

One out from going the distance, Richard was removed after pinch-hitter Tucker Barnhart’s tworun double. The left-hander allowed eight hits while striking out six and walking two.

Brandon Maurer got the final out for his 11th save, handing Cincinnati its fifth straight loss.

Richard (5-7) tossed San Diego’s only complete game this season on May 21.

Cordero hit a drive to center field in the first inning against Scott Feldman (5-5) and added another solo homer onto the beach beyond the rightcenter field fence in the seventh. The multihomer game was Cordero’s first, after he hit his first career home run on Monday.

ANGELS 3, YANKEES 2, 11 INNINGS ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia exited early with a strained left hamstring, and Eric Young Jr. rallied Los Angeles to an 11-inning victory that snapped New York’s six-game winning streak.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi said he anticipates Sabathia is headed to the disabled list, a disappointing blow for the AL East leaders with the big left-hander pitching his best ball in years.

Sabathia left after four innings and said he will have an MRI on Wednesday.

Young tied the score at 2 with a solo homer off Tyler Clippard in the eighth and drove home the winning run with a sharp infield single off the leg of reliever Ben Heller with two outs in the 11th.

Young has three homers in 15 major league games this season, equaling his total from the previous four years combined.

With the bases loaded in the top of the 11th, Keynan Middleton (2-0) induced consecutive popups from Chris Carter and Brett Gardner to earn the win as the Angels improved to 11-0 on Tuesdays.

Chasen Shreve (1-1) took the loss after issuing a leadoff walk to Andrelton Simmons. He stole second and advanced to third on a high bouncer back to Heller.

Royals: Vargas’ ERA drops to 2.18; 2nd-best in MLB CASA: Continued from B1

Continued from B1

Vargas’ nine wins are tied for most in the majors with Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw and Dallas Keuchel of the Astros. They are five shy of Vargas’ career high set in 2012 when he was still pitching for Seattle.

Vargas also has a 2.18 ERA that is second-lowest among qualifiers behind Keuchel’s mark of 1.67.

“I definitely enjoy being healthy and going out there and having some success and giving the team an opportunity to win,” Vargas said. “You kind of look at the road that you had to come back and try and appreciate it. I’m just trying to go about my business and take each start as they come.”

Vargas (9-3) allowed one run and outpitched Ty Blach in a matchup of left-handers. Vargas gave up five hits with six strikeouts and one walk for his fourth straight win overall and second against the Giants this season.

Jorge Bonifacio drove in three runs and snapped an 0-for-13 drought. Alex Gordon added two hits and two runs, and Whit Merrifield had a basesloaded triple to help Kansas City win in its first appearance at AT&T Park since the 2014 World Series.

Buster Posey had two hits and scored San Francisco’s run. The Giants have lost 10 of 14.

Escobar, whose leadoff single in the third sparked a two-run rally, broke the

expansion of CASA with the passing of the Victims of Crime Act. CASA of the 31st Judicial District serves the children of Allen, Neosho, Wilson and Woodson counties.

“CASA is an excellent organization made up of primarily volunteers,” 31st Judicial District Chief Judge Daniel Creitz said. “Its beneficiaries are those children that are seriously abused.”

The tournament fees are $60 per person or $240 per team (four-person scramble) which includes cart rental, green fees and a homemade lunch.

Registration begins at 7:30 a.m. with the event beginning at 9 a.m.

Cash prizes are awarded in each flight and other prizes are available as well.

Tournament sponsors are: Hofer, Hofer and Associates, Copy Products, Inc., Ash Grove Cement, Community National Bank of Iola, Neosho Memorial Regional Medical Center, Chanute, Peck Cattle, Nelson Quarries, B&W Trailer Hitches, Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline and State Farm (Jennifer Dietsch).

The Kansas City Royals’ Lorenzo Cain reaches third on a triple in the seventh inning against the Houston Astros at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., on Thursday. John Sleezer/Kansas City Star/TNS game open with a basesloaded double off Blach (4-4) in the sixth. After Gordon was intentionally walked and Vargas struck out, Merrifield lofted a fly ball that landed beyond sliding right fielder Hunter Pence near the foul line to put the Royals up 7-1.

Bonifacio followed with an RBI single.

That was more than enough for Vargas, who pitched seven scoreless innings to beat the Giants in Kansas City on April 19.

“The big inning is what killed us,” San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said. “It’s one of those nights. We got shut down

by Vargas.”

Coming off its best offensive game of the season two days earlier, San Francisco struggled against Vargas and reliever Travis Wood. The Giants were limited to five hits and scored their only run on a sacrifice fly after Posey doubled leading off the second.

BLACHED OUT Blach allowed seven runs and 10 hits over 5 1/3 innings, only the second bad outing he’s had since replacing injured ace Madison Bumgarner in the Giants’ rotation.

Blach struck out four and walked one. “They

A Help Button Should Go Where You Go!

placed the ball just out of reach three or four times there,” Bochy said. “It’s a shame because Ty threw the ball well tonight. He really did. The numbers are not indicative of how he threw.”

TRAINER’S ROOM Royals: LHP Danny Duffy (right oblique strain) threw 20 pitches in a bullpen session Monday and came out of it with no lingering pain.

Duffy has been sidelined since May 29.

Giants: With a lefthander pitching, 2B Joe

Panik was given an additional day off to rest his sprained left thumb. Aaron Hill started in Panik’s place.

UP NEXT Royals: RHP Jason Hammel (2-6, 5.43 ERA) pitches the finale of this two-game series. Hammel is winless in eight road starts dating to 2016.

Giants: RHP Johnny Cueto (5-5, 4.33) faces his former team for the first time since signing with San Francisco after helping Kansas City to the 2015 World Series title.

MDS covers a range of diseases Dear Dr. Roach: I hope you can answer some questions about myelodysplastic syndrome. What does it do to your body? Is there a known cause or cure? What is the prognosis? — P.B. Answer: The myelodysplastic syndromes are a group of similar diseases, specific types of blood cancers, that prevent your bone marrow from working properly. They also can transform into acute leukemia.

These are uncommon cancers, with perhaps 30,000 cases per year in the U.S. The specific myelodysplastic syndromes are now categorized by appearance, genetic abnormalities of the cells, and condition of the bone marrow.

MDS may arise from damage to DNA, such as from radiation or other toxic exposures.

However, many cases have no known cause, and it’s likely that these are spontaneous mutations in the bone marrow cells.

Because MDS is a group of related diseases, the treatment and prognosis vary among the different

PERSONS CONCERNED: You are hereby notified a petition has been filed in this Court

by Roger Collins, Executor of the Estate of LILLIE M. COLLINS, deceased, praying for final settlement of the estate, approval of his acts, proceedings and accounts as Executor, allowance for his Executor fees and expenses and the Court determine the heirs of the said decedent and assign the real estate and personal property remaining in said estate.

You are hereby required to file your written defenses thereto on

or before the 11th day of July 2017, at 8:30 a.m., in said District Court in Iola, Kansas, at which time and place said cause will be heard.

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health subtypes.

However, supporting the bone marrow with transfusions of red blood cells and platelets often is necessary.

Medications to stimulate both red and white blood cell production can be used. A few people will be recommended for bone marrow (stem cell) transplant, but the decision to consider this treatment must be made cautiously, as many people who get MDS will not benefit from this treatment due to age or other medical conditions.

The prognosis depends on the age of the person affected and their specific MDS. A person younger than 60 with a low-risk MDS has a median survival (based on data published in 1997) of about 12 years. However, high-risk MDS has a much worse outcome: Half of people succumb within six months. Advances in treatment since these data were published have improved these results, but not as much as hoped.

Masonic Lodge pitcher Isaac McCullough throws a pitch against El Charro in Little League action on Tuesday night at Riverside Park. Masonic Lodge was able to defeat El Charro 14-2 with three hits off the bat of McCullough.

REGISTER/JON DYKSTRA

Former Bulldog player takes over for Holtman at Butler INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — LaVall Jordan is getting another chance to make his imprint at Butler.

The Bulldogs’ former star player, who started

his coaching career at his alma mater, was hired as Butler’s new head coach.

Athletic director Barry Collier made the announcement after word got out that Jordan had agreed to take the job.

The 38-year-old Jordan replaces Chris Holtmann, who left for Ohio State last week. He is scheduled to be introduced on

Wednesday.

Jordan went 11-24 at Milwaukee last season, his first as a head coach.

But he led the Panthers to a surprising appearance in the Horizon League Tournament championship, where they had a chance to become the team with the most losses to ever make the NCAA Tournament field.
