County asked to help with store’s utilities

By TREVOR HOAG The Iola Register

The new proprietors of a grocery store in Humboldt asked Allen County Commissioners Tuesday if they would be willing to help out with its anticipated utility costs.

Scott and Amy Welch, rural Moran, plan to open Our Hometown Market in the next couple of months. The grocery store replaces Moon’s Hometown Market, and includes a butcher shop.

Amy Welch said, “we have our finances all laid out and are ready to go, but we’d just really appreciate some help from you, too. … We want to make sure that we’re able to sustain the grocery store and not get run over by electrical bills.”

Cole Herder, city administrator for Humboldt, laid the ground for the Welches’ request. Herder mentioned how the closing of Moon’s a year ago was a big hit to the community and that their goal ever since has been to replace

Herder and Scott Welch both mentioned how the Moon’s building is too big to house only a grocery store, and so wanted to add a butcher shop in order to make it more sustainable. A larger building, though, comes with larger utility costs, in this case, costs linked to refrigera-

tion, and that’s why they’re approaching the Commission for assistance.

Commissioners voiced support for the couple’s project, but as Bruce Symes explained: “We’re making an investment on behalf of the taxpayers of Allen County.”

In order to bolster the case for assistance, Herder mentioned how food deserts can

greatly affect communities, and added that the presence of a store has the power to change citizens’ lifestyles for the better, especially when it comes to eating healthier meals.

Conservatives look to put own mark on Medicaid talks

By JOHN HANNA The Associated Press

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Conservative Republican lawmakers are looking to modify a bipartisan plan for expanding Medicaid in Kansas by adding two provisions that Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly opposes.

GOP conservatives want to insert a work requirement for able-bodied adults who receive the state’s Medicaid

health coverage under the expanded program. They’re also looking to add a “right of conscience” provision that would allow medical personnel to decline for religious reasons to provide services such as abortion, birth control and gender reassignment care.

The Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee will consider those ideas when it debates a bill containing the bipartisan Medicaid expansion plan, Chairman Gene

Suellentrop said Tuesday.

The measure arises from a compromise Kelly reached earlier this month with Senate Majority Leader Jim Denning, an Overland Park Republican.

“We’re just expressing concerns and using amendments to address some of those issues,” said Suellentrop, a Wichita Republican.

Garden center grows with a little TLC

By VICKIE MOSS The Iola Register

LAHARPE — Windows make for happy houseplants.

The plants at TLC Greenhouse soon will be just a little bit happier, courtesy of a new building and two new greenhouses that give them more sunlight and space to spread out.

TLC owners Savannah and Levi Flory are building new structures, in part because of necessity and in part to allow for future growth. The improvements include a new retail sales building with several large windows to allow for more natural light, and a large porch across the front to display products.

“Our goal is to sell more houseplants,” Levi said.

“And we wanted a building that made more of a statement,” Savannah said. “With the highway frontage, we had people stop in every day last summer and say they’d never been in before. We’ve expanded the outside quite a bit, so now it’s time to make the building look more like a

Party-switching lawmaker ends bid for state Senate seat TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A lawmaker who made national headlines for switching to the Democratic Party has ended her campaign for a state Senate seat and will run for re-election to the House instead.

Rep. Stephanie Clayton of Overland Park said Tuesday that Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly encouraged her last week to drop out of the Senate race.

Clayton’s decision to run for the Senate had set up an August primary contest with Ethan Corson of Fairway. Corson is a former executive director of the Kansas Democratic Party.

Campaign finance reports filed by the candidates last week showed that Corson raised

nearly $74,000 between launching his campaign in October and the end of last year. Clayton launched her campaign in November and raised less than $14,000 by the end of the year.

Kelly issued a statement calling Clayton “a strong voice in the House.� Clayton is serving her fourth term.

Corson is running for the seat held by Democratic state Sen. Barbara Bollier of Mission Hills, who is running for the U.S. Senate.

Both Clayton and Bollier were elected as state lawmakers as moderate Republicans but switched parties in December 2018. Clayton cited her dissatisfaction with President Donald Trump as a factor.

Washington man first in US to catch virus from China SEATTLE (AP) — The U.S. on Tuesday reported its first case of a new and potentially deadly virus circulating in China, saying a Washington state resident who returned last week from the outbreak’s epicenter was hospitalized near Seattle.

The man, identified as a Snohomish County resident is in his 30s, was in good condition and wasn’t considered a threat to medical staff or the public, health officials said.

U.S. officials stressed that they believe the virus’ overall risk to the American public remained low. “This is not a moment of high anxiety,�

Gov. Jay Inslee said.

The newly discovered virus has infected about 440 people, all of whom had been in China, and killed nine.

The virus can cause coughing, fever, breathing difficulty and pneumonia. The U.S. joins a growing list of places outside mainland

China reporting cases, following Thailand, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.

Airports around the world have stepped up monitoring, checking passengers from China for signs of illness in hopes of containing the virus during the busy Lunar New Year travel season.

Late last week, U.S. health officials began screening passengers from Wuhan in central China, where the outbreak began. The screening had been underway at three U.S. airports — New York City’s Kennedy airport and the Los Angeles and San Francisco airports. On Tuesday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced it would add Chicago’s O’Hare airport and Atlanta’s airport to the mix later this week.

What’s more, officials also will begin forcing all passengers from Wuhan to go to one of those five airports if they wish to

Florida: Watch out for iguanas falling from trees MIAMI (AP) — The National Weather Service routinely warns people about falling rain, snow and hail, but temperatures are dropping so low in South Florida the forecasters warned residents Tuesday about falling iguanas. “This isn’t something we usually forecast, but don’t be surprised if you see Iguanas falling from the trees tonight as lows drop into the 30s and 40s. Brrrr!� NWS Miami tweeted.

The low temperatures stun the invasive reptiles, but the iguanas won’t necessarily die. That means many will wake up as temperatures rise Wednesday.

Iguanas aren’t dangerous or aggressive to humans, but they dam-

age seawalls, sidewalks, landscape foliage and can dig lengthy tunnels.

The males can grow to at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) long and weigh nearly 20 pounds (9 kilograms).

Female iguanas can lay nearly 80 eggs a year, and South Florida’s warm climate is perfect for the prehistoric-looking animals. Iguanas are native to Central America, tropical parts of South America and some Caribbean islands.

Iguanas are allowed to be kept as pets in Florida but are not protected by any law except anti-cruelty to animals.

They’ve been in South Florida since the 1960s, but their numbers have increased dramatically in recent years.

enter the U.S. The hospitalized U.S. resident had no symptoms when he arrived at the Seattle-Tacoma airport last Wednesday, but he started feeling ill on Thursday and went to a doctor on Sunday with a fever and a cough, officials said. Lab testing on Monday confirmed he had the virus. “The gentleman right now is very healthy,� Dr. Nancy Messonnier of the CDC said Tuesday.

The hospital, Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett, said in a statement that it expected the man would remain in isolation and under monitoring there at least until Thursday.

CDC officials said they sent a team to Washington to try to track down people who might have

come in contact with the man. The hospital also said it was contacting “the small number of staff and patients� who may have been with the man at a clinic.

The man is originally from central China, lives alone in the U.S. and made the trip solo, officials said. There were relatively few people who came in contact with him since he got back, health officials said.

Last month, doctors in Wuhan began seeing the new virus in people who got sick after spending time at a wholesale seafood market.

Officials have said the virus probably spread from animals to people, but this week Chinese officials said they’ve concluded it also can spread from person to person.

Testing: Is your well water safe? Answer often is ‘depends’ Continued from A1

dry cleaning operations.

Yet far more wells soak up, and deliver to taps, fertilizer that’s been building up in Kansas soil and water over generations of modern farming.

But it’s not up to regulators from Washington or agencies in Topeka to test private well water quality. That falls to individual well owners. With little to no government oversight, some public health officials worry that’s creating a system where far too many people are left vulnerable to potential cancer-causing pollutants and toxins.

New research from Kansas State University shows that groundwater quality in the Great Bend Aquifer in southcentral Kansas rates far worse today than 30 years ago.

The main culprit is a dramatic increase in the amount of nitrate.

It’s a byproduct of the Green Revolution of the 1960s that turbo-charged modern farming toward greater yields, especially the use of chemical fertilizers.

Farmers learned that soil laced with extra nitrogen could squeeze more bushels from an acre of land. But not all that nitrogen stays put or gets absorbed in wheat, corn, sorghum and soybeans. Some

use changes because it’s relatively close to the surface, so the water doesn’t get filtered well.

Financial Focus Financial Moves for Life’s ‘Inflection Points’ You’ve probably heard or read about inflection points. The term has a specific definition in mathematics, but it’s also used widely to describe historical or technological events, such as the Industrial Revolution or the creation of the internet – events that changed human existence in some important way. However, you have personal inflection points, too – and when they occur, you’ll need to make the right financial moves.

Here are four of the most important of these inflection points, along with suggestions on dealing with them: • Marriage – When you get married, you and your spouse will need to discuss a variety of financial issues: What assets and liabilities do you each bring to the marriage? Should you combine your finances or continue with separate accounts? Is one of you a “saver” while the other is a “spender”? Do you share similar investment philosophies, or is one of you much more aggressive than the other? You don’t necessarily have to agree on everything, but you should at least try to gain enough knowledge so you can avoid unpleasant surprises, such as hidden debts, and find enough common ground so your household can advance toward your common financial goals.

• New child – When you welcome a new child into your family, you’ll need to make sure you have adequate life insurance. You’ll also want to review the beneficiary designations on any existing insurance policies, as well as on your IRA and 401(k). And if you can afford it, you may want to start contributing to a college fund, possibly using a 529 savings plan, which can provide you with tax advantages as you put money away for your child’s higher education.

• Divorce – It’s unfortunate, but true: Divorce is still pretty common, and it’s neither pleasant nor cheap. You might not be able to avoid some of the costs, such as lawyers’ bills, but if you and your ex-spouse can work together amicably, you both may be able to avoid serious financial disruptions.

You’ll need to work out how to divide your financial assets, paying attention to beneficiary designations, which you may well need to change. Also, as a newly single individual, you may need to review and revise your long-term investment strategy to accommodate changes in your goals and your retirement income.

• Retirement – By the time you retire, you will have hopefully been investing in your IRA and 401(k) or other retirement plan for several decades. But once you do retire, you’ll need to determine how much you can afford to withdraw each year from your various retirement accounts.

Your withdrawal rate will depend on your age, your asset level and your retirement lifestyle. And you’ll also want to consider other issues: Are you prepared to deal with health care costs? Even with Medicare, these costs may be higher than they were when you were working. And how about your estate plans? Are they up to date? Have you protected your family from the possibility of your estate going through the time-consuming, expensive and public process of probate? You may need to work with your financial, tax and legal advisors to develop an effective estate strategy.

By making smart decisions following your own inflection points, you can ease the transitions in your life – wherever life takes you.

“It’s one of those things you can forget about. It’s like changing your car oil.”

While a basic test is going to be fine in most cases, there are other chemicals some people need to worry about.

Dry cleaning plume

The water in Randi Williams’ house now comes from the city of Wichita. But until a few years ago, she got her water from a private well.

“The lady that sold us the house had us taste the water and hold it up to the light,” Williams said. “And then we had it tested on our own. Since it tested fine, no problems.”

It wasn’t fine.

A toxic plume of dry cleaning chemicals had made its way to their well. It had likely been there for years.

Why didn’t she discover it when she bought the house? Because the toxic chemicals from the dry cleaning plume are odorless and tasteless, and basic tests for bacteria don’t expose it.

She wished she would have been more informed about the potential dangers near her well, such as dry cleaners and underground gas storage tanks.

“Had we known, we probably would have done more testing because, of course, we want to be healthy,” she said.

Databases of some of

that information exist, but there’s no system to alert people with water wells nearby. Even if someone did know where to find the information, the average homeowner isn’t likely to understand what they’re looking at.

Knowledge gaps

Meridian Labs in Wichita is one of a few places that offers comprehensive residential water testing in Kansas. Their tests range anywhere from $20 for a simple bacteria test, to $150 for a more comprehensive report.

“A lot of times, I will take them through their report step-by-step,” Jessica Jensen, the lab’s technical director, said.

“Some people just need that peace of mind.”

Even when well owners discover there’s a problem, the cost of solving it can vary wildly. A sophisticated home filtration system could run several thousand dollars. While cleaning up a large plume, which involves the city or state, can cost several hundred thousand, even millions of dollars.

Elizabeth Ablah researches population health at the University of Kansas School of Medicine in Wichita.

She said that knowledge gap is a big part of the problem. Without some kind of standardized statewide regulations, it’s too much to expect regular people to fully

grasp complex water quality issues.

“We need to be starting to address these issues in a more systematic way rather than this piecemeal patchwork sort of intervention that we’ve been doing,” she said.

She and her colleague, Jack Brown, worked with state agencies, local public health officials and engineering and drilling firms to develop 18 recommendations for improving and protecting well water quality.

The recommendations range from changes in code that would standardize the definition of a nonpublic household water well to defining trigger events for when the state would require well testing.

But they were released a year ago, and so far, nothing has changed.

Ablah’s worried that without some kind of change, the Kansans with private water wells will have to continue relying largely on faith that their water is safe to drink.

“Really there’s no entity that is currently focusing on water quality for non-public water well users,” she said.

“And that is a problem.”

Medicaid: GOP wants extra conditions Continued from A1

tee plans to begin hearings on the bipartisan plan Thursday and could debate the bill Feb. 4.

The deal gives Kelly the straightforward expansion of state health coverage that she has advocated to cover as many as 150,000 additional people. Denning would receive a modified version of his proposal to create a new program designed to hold down private health insurance premiums to make it less likely that people would drop their existing private plans in favor of Medicaid.

Denning was among a handful of conservative GOP leaders in the Republican-controlled Legislature who last year kept an expansion plan favored by Kelly from passing the Senate. They cited how a plan would be administered and its potential expense to the state, despite the federal government’s promise to pay 90% of the costs.

The deal appeared to clear the way for Kansas to become the 37th state

to expand Medicaid. The bill is sponsored by 22 of the Senate’s 40 members, enough to pass it there, but Sullentrop is not one of them, and his oversight of work on the bill in committee could complicate efforts to get a “clean” bill through the Legislature.

Supporters worry that if conservatives are successful, Kelly will be forced either to accept provisions she believes would hamstring expansion or veto a bill.

Critics of the “conscience” provision see it as allowing anti-LGBTQ discrimination in health care. On her second day in office last year, Kelly issued an order banning such bias in state hiring and employment decisions.

“Patients come in with complex issues, life circumstances, and so its really incumbent on those physicians to help patients navigate that instead of saying, ‘Well, what you’re wanting doesn’t quite fit my own narrow ideology,’” said Julie Burkhart, CEO of the abortion rights Trust Women

Foundation. “I just don’t see how people get good health care that way.”

Kelly also opposes a work requirement for Medicaid participants, seeing it likely only to kick people off of coverage.

“Gov. Kelly opposes any proposal that would increase administrative barriers, limiting access to health care,” Kelly spokeswoman Lauren Fitzgerald said in an email.

Denning said he’d prefer to have conservatives’ proposals debated by the full Senate rather than in committee so “we could vote in a transparent manner.”

The bipartisan plan contains what Kelly and Denning describe as a “robust” work referral program for Medicaid participants, to help them find jobs.

“It has a pathway to work, and I prefer that,” said Sen. Ed Berger, a Hutchinson Republican and one of the bill’s sponsor, saying a tougher provision only would be “denying them services.”

But for conservatives

a work referral program isn’t strong enough to encourage Medicaid participants become self-sufficient by looking for work or participating in job training. The state imposed work requirements for its cash and food assistance programs during former Republican Gov. Sam Brownback’s tenure with strong backing from GOP lawmakers.

“Work requirements are more broadly popular than Medicaid expansion,” said Sen. Ty Masterson, a Wichitaarea Republican who serves on the Senate health committee.

“That’s really just a common sense of fairness.”

Masterson also said protecting the conscience rights of medical providers also is “broadly accepted.”

“You shouldn’t be obligated to do something you object to,” he said.

“I don’t understand why anybody would back forcing somebody to do a procedure that’s controversial when you have so many other options.”

County: Asked to help with grocery store Continued from A1

County Counselor Bob Johnson, in order to discuss financial specifics.

Commissioners did not take action on the Welches’ request to help them with the store’s anticipated utility costs.

Commissioner Jerry Daniels did, however, suggest a precedent exists for the county providing matching funds after an entity secures a grant, such as through

the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP).

Shifting attention from the grocery store, Terry Call discussed with the Commission a few items linked to new ambulance stations being constructed in Humboldt and Moran, including lettering on buildings, along with furniture and flagpoles.

The Commission voted to enter a contract with

Koehn Construction for $2,835.51 to install the flagpoles.

Mitch Garner, Public Works Director, said that the rock crusher purchased by the county is now partially operational, but still requires additional parts. “It’s not quite 100%,” he said, “but getting there.”

The Commission also approved a liquor license for The Humboldt Speedway, which will

permit consumption of alcohol on the premises.

At multiple points, commissioners went into executive session in order to continue evaluating county employees.

Those employees who were evaluated include: Angie Murphy, 911 Communications Director, Terry Call, EMS Financial Director and Zoning Administrator, and Bob Johnson, County Counselor.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Letter to the editor Dear editor,

I read with great interest Tracy Keagle’s opinion piece in last Saturday’s Register concerning Iola’s policy in handling late utility bills.

As I read this, several questions come to mind. The first is of the $500,000 owed to Iola that has not been paid. How long did it take to accumulate?

Second, how much of this money is actual utilities not paid for and how much of it is unpaid fines?

Thirdly, concerning the small article tucked away on page 2 of the Jan. 7 Register reminding readers of the Community Utility Relief Board or CURB, I wonder how many people noticed it?

I would, with some caution, say this would not raise much utility help money. A notional best case of 100 customers each month donating 99 cents would, over a year, raise $1,188. Does this amount of money match the magnitude of the problem? How much money is presently in the Iola Area Ministerial Association account? If memory serves me, wasn’t this CURB info

printed on the utility bills at one time?

I suggest that the city needs to do a better job of publicizing this program. I would be willing to give more if asked.

It would continue to be voluntary.

Another side of this subject is the lack of weather proofing in many of the old homes of Iola thus running up very high utility bills that cannot be paid.

Using my home, which is 1,640 square feet and weatherproofed, my average utility bill for year 2019 was $179.82.

Are there programs to tighten up some of these leaky homes to get their electric and natural gas bills down? Is this being done?

It might also help to dollar cost average the bill leveling out those high heating and cooling months to a lower bill year round. I think the City of Iola could show a little more compassion and willingness to help the poorer citizens rather than continue to hit them with late fees they probably cannot pay.

The Nazis murdered my ancestors.

So why do I want to become a German citizen?

By HOWARD WITT The Chicago Tribune

August 1942 was a catastrophic month for my German ancestors.

On Aug. 5, the Nazis herded my great-grandfather onto a train in Berlin bound for the Theresienstadt concentration camp. Five days later and 650 miles away in Paris, they rounded up my grandfather, who had tried to escape to France, and forced him onto a transport headed to Auschwitz.

Both were exterminated at their final destinations, along with my great-grandmother, great-aunt and a distant cousin.

I am a Jewish American.

And on Jan. 21, my 60th birthday, I plan to visit the German Embassy in Washington, D.C., to be naturalized as a German citizen, along with my three African American children.

Why am I making this unlikely choice, a Jew coming full circle on a bitter German history?

Therein lies a story about Germany’s terrible past, America’s troubling present and what I hope will be my children’s promising future.

My father was born in Berlin in September 1932.

His German father, Heinrich Rothgiesser, was a prosperous Jewish businessman who owned a printing company; his mother, Edith, was a Jewish American citizen of German descent who was living in Germany at the time.

As Hitler rose to power during the first months of my father’s life, my grandmother Edith grew increasingly concerned about the safety of Jews in Germany.

With her American perspective, she perceived the threat more clearly than my grandfather Heinrich, who, like so many German Jews at the time, believed that Adolf Hitler surely couldn’t last in the enlightened society of Germany’s Weimar Republic.

In the spring of 1933, after the Reichstag burned and the Nazis opened the first concentration camp at Dachau, my grandmother made a brave and momentous decision. Unable to persuade her husband to flee Germany, she boarded a ship bound

for America with her infant son. She never saw Heinrich again.

Three years ago, I happened across an article about a unique provision in Germany’s constitution that was included as part of the nation’s efforts to make restitution to victims of the Holocaust. This provision, known as Article 116 (2), allows Germans (and their descendants) who “were deprived of their German citizenship on political, racial or religious grounds” during the Nazi era from 1933-45 to apply to have their German citizenship restored. The ultimate deprivation of citizenship, of course, was being murdered in a concentration camp.

So I put in an application for myself and my children (unfortunately, spouses of descendants are not eligible). That meant gathering evidence about my ancestors and finding proof of their persecution. Because the Nazis kept meticulous records of the Jews who were sent to the camps — records that can be accessed at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem and the U.S. Holocaust Museum in Washington — I was able to find evidence of the actual transport that carried my grandfather to Auschwitz (Train No. D 901/12), the date my great-grandfather’s corpse was shoved into a furnace at Theresienstadt (April 18, 1943), and many other grim details.

MY DECISION to apply for German citizenship was not a political statement: I submitted the paperwork at the German Embassy in Washington four days before the November 2016 presidential election. But it was a decision borne, at least in part, of my growing unease about the racism that feels like it’s been steadily worsening in our country ever since Barack Obama was elected in 2008 and the reactionary backlash against our first African American president began.

Certainly racism is nothing new in America; it’s our original sin. Slavery is a living memory for my wife’s family. She is as close to it as her late grandmother, whose

own great-grandparents were enslaved.

That bitter legacy of white supremacy infests our legal, social and commercial institutions to this day, although for much of my life, social norms at least suppressed the most public expressions of hatred in our civic dialogues. But lately that racism has come roaring back into the open. The Charleston, S.C., church massacre in 2015, the August 2017 attacks in Charlottesville, Va., the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre, repeated police killings of black men — these are only a few of the most headline-grabbing examples.

I understand that Germany is hardly immune from these trends. Racist and neoNazi attacks on Muslim immigrants and German Jews have risen in recent years, especially in cities in the former East Germany.

Yet it seems to me, from my occasional visits to the country, that Germany is at least attempting to forthrightly confront these exposed veins of illiberal, white supremacist and nationalist sentiments. Which is more, alas, than I can say for my own country today.

OUR FAMILY is not actually intending to move to Germany. We are first and foremost Americans, committed to trying to make our nation a better place. But I would be lying if I did not admit that we can now take some comfort in knowing we have a place to go if our democracy, lately wobbling under profound strains, were ever to actually collapse — a prospect that no longer seems so unimaginable.

And on a much brighter note, now that my kids are citizens of the European Union, the doors are wide open for them to choose someday to live and work in Germany or any one of the other EU nations.

That’s a rare privilege, one we will never forget, that we now enjoy only because my ancestors were forced into cattle cars during a terrifying week in August 78 years ago.

Deputy shoots carjacker DIGHTON, Kan. (AP) — A western Kansas sheriff ’s deputy shot and wounded a fleeing motorist after he attempted to carjack another vehicle when two of his tires were flattened A Ness County Sheriff ’s deputy attempted to stop the motorist Tuesday east of Ness City because he was driving a pickup truck that matched the description of one used in an armed robbery of a Dollar General store about 30 miles away in Dighton, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation said in a news release.

their wholesale supplier closed. They planned to slowly test the waters, as growing their own plants allows them to offer a greater variety to customers. That’s been successful enough to take the next step in expanding greenhouses.

TLC already has three greenhouses, with two used for retail plant sales and the third used for growing plants. The new additions mean they can reopen the third greenhouse for retail sales.

PART OF the former building was demolished in December, and a new metal building is being constructed in its place. The new building will be similar in size — 50 foot by 50 foot — but will provide more space because of a new configuration.

The former building has had several iterations as a business, including a bar, a carpet store and a flea market.

“It served its purpose for us, but I’m really glad to get something bigger and better,” Savannah said.

Savannah’s mother, Corinna Heard, opened TLC Greenhouse in 2000. After she died in 2006, Savannah came

home from college to operate the business. Levi followed after the two of them graduated from Kansas State University in 2007.

The building was constructed in two parts that met in the middle, but the two roofs never quite lined up right.

That meant a constant battle with leaks during rainy weather, and a sagging roof that required more and more support beams. Those beams took up space and made it awkward to navigate for retail space.

After exploring options to fix the leaky roof, the couple decided instead to replace the addition, leaving the original building for use as storage and offices.

The couple hopes the building will be completed in February, in time to complete finishing touches like painting and shelving before the busy growing season begins in the spring. Savannah hopes it will be at least partially ready by Valentine’s Day, when TLC sells cut flowers.

TLC will celebrate its

20th anniversary this year. An open house and celebration is tentatively planned for April.

Josh Eaton, with DE Construction of Iola, cuts insulation while working on the roof of a new building at TLC Greenhouse, LaHarpe. Owners Savannah and Levi Flory said they used local contractors as much as possible for the company’s renovation project.

By Darrell R Monfort DVM Christmas pets have now settled into your home and heart. They are a years-long responsibility and the time to prepare for a long and healthy life is now, at the beginning. Often Christmas pets are puppies and kittens. These babies need good nutrition, vaccinations, and preventative medications. Come to your vet’s office and ask for advice and a timeline for care and treatment.

All babies need good rest and great nutrition.

Prepare a quiet, comfortable kennel for the new baby to rest in. Tell your human children that when the puppy or kitten is sleeping or resting, they need to be left alone. The kennel will also help immensely with housetraining. Kittens, of course, are generally litter trained before they come to your home and if they can get to a toileting area when the need strikes, they are no-muss, no-fuss. Puppies, as most of us know, are a lot of both muss and fuss. Be kind. It is important to know that your puppy does NOT have the muscular or nervous control to know when they must go reliably before the age of, at least, 4 months old. Bowel control will often come first, but not always. A couple of pieces of advice…plan to take your puppy (at the age of 8 weeks, before and after every nap, meal and play session, and at least once in the middle of the night. The kennel comes in handy here because, by nature, dog do not like to foul their sleeping areas (wild canines teach us that leaving urine and stool scents near sleeping dens draws predators; wild cats take care of this issue by burying their waste to protect the nest). The kennel needs to be just big enough for the puppy to stretch out and sleep, no larger. If you are going to need a bigger kennel as the puppy grows, you can block access to the extra space with cardboard boxes until the space is needed. As your puppy grows older, you can learn to watch for signs of needing to go out, like whining, sniffing and pacing. When your puppy performs outdoors, give a treat immediately on completion and make a celebration out of it. If you puppy has an accident in an area that is forbidden, speak firmly and move outdoors if you catch them in the act, otherwise just quietly clean it up with an excellent de-scenting and stain-removing enzyme product and ponder where YOU blew it.

Because you are the teacher; take the responsibility and pay more attention. This is like parenthood. There are no “time-offs”. By the time your puppy is 12 weeks old, they can manage about 4 hours without an accident, and should be close to fully trained by 18 weeks. (in my experience, small breeds may never train as well as a larger breed dog; I don’t know, maybe the world is just much bigger for them and consequently, their territory is smaller?) BE PATIENT, the pattern of interactions and the bond that you form now is the pattern that lasts for the rest of your puppy’s life.

Food - ask the vet and get the best that you can afford that is appropriate for the age and breed of your puppy. Good nutrition is the building block for a healthy body, bone, muscle and physiology.

Your puppy will need a series of vaccinations at timed intervals, usually, but not always completed at 16 weeks of age. The entire series and timing are important, and these appointments are usually the time where parasites, internal and external, are addressed.

Budget for the three veterinary appointments, spay/neuter surgery, accidents and emergencies, and products. Consider, and discuss with the vet, pet insurance. Plan a savings account or credit card specifically for pet expenses; be RESPONSIBLE for the life that you have chosen to add to your family. Care and thought will help make the pet will can give you a lifetime of memories.

Republicans deny Democrats’ requests for witnesses, evidence at trial

By JENNIFER HABERKORN Los Angeles Times

WASHINGTON — In an overtly partisan start to the third presidential impeachment trial in American history, Senate Republicans on Tuesday repeatedly brushed aside Democratic proposals to subpoena witnesses and documents, and appeared on track to approve trial rules that will punt those critical questions until next week.

In a series of partyline votes punctuating 12 hours of debate, Senate Republicans turned back every attempt

by Democrats to subpoena documents from the White House, State Department and other agencies, as well as testimony from White House officials that could shed light on the core charges against President Trump.

At the heart of the trial are charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress approved last month by the Democratic-led House. They assert that Trump used the power of his office to pressure Ukraine to announce investigations into his political rivals, withholding as leverage nearly $400 million in military aid and a White House meeting.

The president then sought to conceal his actions from Congress, the charges say, by blocking witness testimony and documents.

Trump’s legal team argues that the charges

are baseless and amount to criminalizing a president’s prerogative to make foreign policy as he sees fit. In a break with most constitutional scholars, they also claim that the impeachment was unconstitutional because the articles of impeachment do not outline a specific violation of a law.

Tuesday’s votes came after Republicans abruptly backed off their plan to fast track the trial by squeezing arguments from both House Democrats and President Donald Trump’s lawyers into four days. Under pressure from some Republicans, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., agreed to a total of six days for the two sides to present their cases, a retreat that Democrats initially hoped might signal weakness in the GOP’s unity on the rules for the trial.

But while some Republicans have said they might eventually vote in favor of having witnesses, for now all remained supportive of the GOP timetable to address that question next week.

Rep. Adam Schiff, DCalif., and other House managers used the rules debate to begin making the broader outlines of their case to senators.

They frequently used video clips. One is of Trump asserting that Article 2 of the Constitution gives him “the right to do whatever I want as president.”

Another clip shows the president stating he would “love” to have Mulvaney testify.

And there’s a video clip of Mulvaney insisting that leveraging U.S. aid to pressure a foreign country is common practice and people should “get over it.”

“If you really want to get to the bottom of this, if (the administration is) really challenging the fact that (the) president conditioned $400 million in military aid to an ally at war, if Mick Mulvaney has already said publicly that he’s talked to the president about it ... don’t you think you should hear from him?” Schiff asked senators, physically turning his body to face the Republican side of the chamber.

The president’s lawyers dismissed the Democrats’ demand for witnesses as proof that the House didn’t prove their case before they voted to impeach last month.

“They spent the entire day telling you and the American people that they can’t prove their case,” White House counsel Pat Cipollone told senators. “I could have told you that in five minutes and saved us all a lot of time.”

He cast the impeachment in starkly partisan terms as an attempt to undo the 2016 election.

The articles are “not only ridiculous, they’re dangerous to our republic. It’s time for it to end.

It’s time for someone — for the Senate — to hold them accountable,” he said of House Democrats.

Schiff was equally caustic, calling it “ass backwards ... to have a trial and then ask for

All 100 senators, in accordance with impeachment rules, sat at their desks for the entirety of the day to listen to the debate. With their electronics banished to shelves outside the chamber, senators listened while taking notes, fidgeting at their desks, passing notes to their neighbors and stifling yawns. Sen. James Risch, R-Idaho, was caught sleeping by a New York Times sketch artist.

Trump and his allies initially indicated they would like the trial quickly ended and could file a motion to dismiss the case.

But several Senate Republicans have rejected the idea of a quick dismissal, suggesting such a motion would fail. White House legislative affairs director Eric Ueland, speaking on Capitol Hill, declined

Brawl ensues in Sunflower Showdown LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Third-ranked Kansas and Kansas State ended their bitter showdown Tuesday night with a wild melee in the disabled seating behind the Wildcats’ basket that included punches, shoving and at least one player threatening to swing a stool.

The Jayhawks were dribbling out the time on their 81-60 victory when Silvio De Sousa was stripped by DaJuan Gordon near mid-court.

Gordon tried to go for a layup and De Sousa recovered to block his shot and send the freshman sprawling, then stood over Gordon and barked at him — triggering both benches to empty into what amounted to a rugby scrum.

At one point, De Sousa picked up a stool and held it over his head before Kansas assistant Jerrance Howard grabbed it from him from behind. The Jayhawks’ Marcus Garrett and David McCormick were also in the thick of the scrum along with the Wildcats’ James Love and David Sloan, who was the first player to come to Gordon’s defense.

It took both coaching staffs, the officials and Allen Fieldhouse security to separate the teams.

“Without knowing exactly everything that went down, it was obvious to me that we played a role in what transpired and there will be penalties for that,” said Jayhawks See FIGHT NIGHT | Page B5

FREDONIA — An efficient high-octane offense told the tale in Iola High’s matchup against Bluestem in the second round of the Wilson County Classic.

The Mustangs led by as many as 26 in the first half, and comfortably put away the Lions 78-47.

After Monday’s sloppy start, head coach Luke By-

“I told the boys if we played the way we have been playing, this team would have hung with us all night long,” Bycroft said. “We didn’t ever let them have that chance, because we established who we were early, and this is who we have to be the rest of the year.”

FREDONIA — Slated against one-seed Cherryvale in the second round of the Wilson County Classic, the five-seeded Iola Fillies gave the Chargers a run for their money.

The Fillies led 23-18 late in the third quarter before a fourth-quarter Cherryvale charge sunk Iola’s hopes of advancing to the tournament’s championship. The Chargers inched past Iola 3529.

“I felt like we really battled,” head coach Becky Carlson said.

Battle the Fillies did, indeed. With the score tied at 5-5, a layup from Lauryn Holloway and a trey from Elysia Kunkler helped the Fillies hold a 10-7 advantage heading into the second quarter.

In the second, Iola’s offense appeared to stand still. Little ball movement compiled with turnovers from Cherryvale’s full-court press did the Fillies no favors. The Chargers held the Fillies to five points in the See FILLIES| Page B2

Iola remained unfazed by the Lions’ constant change in defense. Landon Carson started the Mustangs off with a 3-pointer, and was followed by a deuce from Tyler Boeken to give Iola a 5-0 head start.

Humboldt High’s boys utilized both with devastating efficiency Tuesday, with a lopsided win of historic proportions.

The Cubs opened the Pleasanton Mid-Season Tournament with a 63-4 — yes, you read that right — win over Marmaton Valley.

Humboldt held the Wildcats without a field goal in the contest, outscoring Marmaton Valley 17-3 in the first quarter, 24-0 in the second, 15-1 in the third and 7-0 in the final stanza.

Humboldt head coach David Taylor was downright sheepish in his synopsis.

“We had the speed and the size,” he said.

Tuesday’s contest marked the first action of the season for Humboldt senior Taylor Lassman, who had been sidelined with a knee injury.

“It was good to get him

some minutes,” Taylor said.

“We knew this season wasn’t really going to be measured in wins and losses,” Marmaton Valley head coach Gavin Cole said of his youthful, under-sized squad. “The frustrating part is we haven’t shown any improvement.”

The lack of progress, Cole said, can be attributed to the team’s abundance of turnovers.

“We don’t value the ball, and without that, we aren’t going to show any improvement,” he said. “The guys have been working hard.

Once we start valuing the ball, we’ll get better.”

The Cubs racked up 23 steals in the contest, leading to multiple layups.

Drew Wilhite led the defense with five thefts, followed by Conor Haviland and Gavin Page with four steals each.

On the scoring front, Haviland racked up 21 points, all in the first half.

Late push lifts Wildcats

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

PLEASANTON — A 3-pointer by Marmaton Valley High’s Bailey Griffith with 3 minutes left broke a 27-27 deadlock and gave the Wildcats a lead they never relinquished down the stretch Tuesday.

Marmaton Valley’s 3429 win over host Pleasanton in the first round of Pleasanton’s midseason tournament sets up a rematch of a contest played two weeks prior.

The Wildcats will take on Humboldt, which fended off a pesky Heritage Christian Academy, 46-36.

Tipoff is set for 4 p.m.

Thursday at Pleasanton High School’s North Gymnasium, with the winner advancing to Friday’s championship game.

The Wildcats led by as many as seven in the third quarter before Pleasanton pieced

together an 11-3 run, capped by Emma Sabine’s 3-pointer with 5 minutes left in the game to give the Blu-Jays a 2625 lead.

Alyson Ard’s basket with 3:45 left returned the advantage to the Wildcats before Bailey Myrick hit 1 of 2 charities for Pleasanton to knot the score, setting up Griffith’s tie-breaker. “And Bailey doesn’t shoot 3-pointers,� Wildcat head coach Sherry Bagshaw said. “That’s really not her game. But she hit a couple of huge ones for us. We needed it.�

Ard’s steal and layup with 2 minutes left pushed the Wildcats up 32-27.

Megan Gillespie scored for Pleasanton to pare the deficit to three, but Griffith sealed the win with a pair of free throws with 22 seconds remaining.

Griffith led the way with 16 points, followed

by Ard with 12. “All of the girls played well,� she continued, while pointing out a pair of freshmen who had played sparingly at the varsity level before Tuesday. “Gracyn (Bracken) and Tayven (Sutton) really did a great job of handling their press,�

Bagshaw said. “They stepped up. It really came down to our youth playing well. Our experienced players really helped our young players play well. We played well as a team. It was a great team effort.�

Gillespie and Kori Umphenour shared highscoring honors for the Blu-Jays with 9 apiece.

TOTALS: 8/2-12-10-34.

HUMBOLDT had control early, jumping to a 16-7 lead, but also never replicated its first-quarter efficiency.

Heritage Christian stayed within shouting distance over the second and third periods, and then ended the game with a 17-point fourth quarter to make things respectable. “A win is a win, no matter how ugly,� Humboldt head coach Aubrey Jones said. “We got off to a good start, and I don’t know if we got a little too excited, or a little too comfortable, but we got a little out of control. We were able to rein it in, and we finished it out. I’m probably the only one who will remember it was ugly.�

Winter Snyder propelled Humboldt’s attack with 14 points, but Jones singled out Emma Johnson and Karly Wools as key figures in the win. “They stepped up huge,�

Jones said. “They’re always in the right place at the right time. It was nice to see them getting the results.�

Johnson scored 11 points for Humboldt; Wools scored eight.

Aysa Benally led Heritage Christian with 11 points.

in the second. The Mustangs opened the period with a 7-0 run before a Lions timeout was called. The attempted regroup, however, failed to make a difference.

Another trey from Carson, and a fast-break finish from Jack Adams stretched Iola’s lead to to 21.

The Mustangs stood in control at the break, leading 43-25.

“We challenged every rebound tonight, and we haven’t hustled for rebounds like that all year,� Bycroft said. “And when you get rebounds, tips, and steals, then you get points in transition. What we do best is transition, which means we have to play defense and rebound. We did that tonight, and I am proud of those boys.�

The Mustangs steadi-

ly added to their lead in the third. Senior Casen Barker entered the game in the period, and gave Iola its largest lead at 59-30 with the lefthanded finish.

Iola’s pummeling of Bluestem continued in the fourth. An easy basket from Cal Leonard gave Iola a 30-point advantage to trigger the running clock, and the Mustangs silenced the Lions 78-47.

With the win over Bluestem, Iola advances to the championship game of the Wilson County Classic. Awaiting Iola is two-seed Cherryvale, who was without star Gavin Hooper in Tuesday’s win over Girard.

Tip-off is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. on Friday

in the Wilson Gym at Fredonia High. “If they don’t have Hooper, it will change what they do offensively because they haven’t played without him a whole lot,� Bycroft said. “If he is back, he can put it in the hole. As a team they can score the ball, but I don’t think they can match up and defend us across the board.�

period, and led 16-15 at halftime.

Perhaps the one-point halftime deficit against a quality Cherryvale side is a testament to how far this Filly team has improved in the month of January. St. Mary’sColgan suffocated Iola’s ball-handlers with a stifling full-court press in the first game of the new year. But now, Carlson senses a higher level of maturity. “This team in a lot of ways is much better than Colgan. They have a lot more offensive weapons,� Carlson said. “We didn’t back off tonight, and we were more aggressive coming to get the ball, plus we weren’t scared.�

The Fillies found their rhythm to start the second half. Back-to-back jumpers by Hannah Gardner and Holloway helped Iola regain its lead. Later in the period, Becca Sprague found Kunkler for her second 3-pointer of the afternoon, giving Iola a 23-18 advantage.

The Chargers answered with two consecutive 3-pointers from Kelsi Lantz to regain the lead before the end of the third. Lantz converted once again from long range to start the fourth

as the Chargers raced to a 27-24 lead.

After 13 straight Cherryvale points, Holloway responded with a strong finish inside, making the score 25-31. Too many easy misses at the rim and turnovers doomed Iola’s chances of regaining the lead in the fourth.

Iola pulled within four after Ella Taylor’s put-back layup of a Kunkler miss, but the Fillies failed to manage their way any closer. The Chargers held on for a 35-29 victory.

With the loss, Iola will face tournament host Fredonia on Friday at 3:15 in the Bateman gym at Fredonia High. While the Fillies are no longer in the hunt for first place in the Wilson County Classic, Carlson emphasizes the goal is to earn bronze. “I told the girls we are not playing for fourth, we are playing for third,�

Carlson said. “So, we are going to get third in this tournament, I hope.�

At Davos, Trump rejects climate crisis, lauds US economy and fossil fuels

By CHRIS MEGERIAN Los Angeles Times

DAVOS, Switzerland — President Donald Trump sharpened his break from the international community at the World Economic Forum on Tuesday, boasting about fossil fuel production and American economic success at a summit dedicated to fighting climate change and fostering global cooperation.

Trump cited positive economic statistics — a soaring stock market, record low unemployment and factory openings — that he hopes will boost his reelection chances and overshadow the Senate impeachment trial underway back in Washington.

“Today I’m proud to declare that the United States is in the midst of an economic boom the likes of which the world has never seen before,” he said in remarks that often sounded more like a campaign speech than an address to global leaders.

Although the U.S. economy is outperforming other advanced economies, many of which are struggling, few economists would call it a boom.

American job growth has been resilient, but domestic manufacturing is in recession and business investment has been sluggish. And eco-

nomic growth overall in the United States is expected to slow further this year to about 2%, similar to the moderate pace during most of the economic recovery under President Barack Obama.

The audience clapped politely for Trump, particularly when he backed a new international goal of planting 1 trillion trees worldwide. But the commitment was overshadowed by his touting of the extraction of “traditional fuels,” such as coal and natural gas, that have contributed to global warming.

Although the conference was awash with anxiety over growing nationalism and climate change, Trump brushed off the concerns and seemed to suggest that rising wealth would solve all problems.

“We must reject the perennial prophets of doom and their predictions of the apocalypse,” Trump said. “They are the heirs of yesterday’s foolish fortunetellers.”

But his speech placed the president out of step with the rest of the summit’s goals.

“It flew in the face of everything that Davos is trying to talk about,” said Sanjay Nazerali, the global chief strategy officer at the Dentsu Aegis Network, an international marketing firm based in London.

President Donald Trump speaks at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, on Tuesday. (Guo Chen/Xinhua/Zuma Press/TNS) He described Trump’s speech as a “hymn to nationalism” at a time when leaders were discussing collaborative solutions to problems such as climate change that transcend borders and domestic politics.

“Which nation is going to save the ice caps?” he asked.

Other speakers warned of economic and environmental crises on the horizon.

“The world is in a state of emergency, and the window to act is closing,” said Klaus Schwab, a German engineer and economist who founded the World Economic Forum.

Simonetta Sommaruga, the president of Switzerland, expressed alarm about the effects of climate change as global temperatures rise.

“The world is on fire,” she said. “We see the rainforest burning in the Amazon and the bush fires burning in Austra-

lia.”

A star attraction at Davos has been Greta Thunberg, the 17-year-old Swedish climate activist.

In her address, she said that “pretty much nothing” had been done to stop global warming despite all of the conversations about the problem.

“Without treating it as a real crisis, we cannot solve it,” she said before Trump spoke.

Trump’s comments had some business leaders pining for earlier versions of U.S. leadership.

“The U.S. used to be a fantastic global leader,” said John Neill, head of Unipart Group, a British manufacturing and logistics company.

“We’re trying to move to a more inclusive, collaborative world,” he said. “Promoting your own country is not in complete conflict, but there was a contrast with the Chinese, who seem more inclined to try to embrace the global

620-365-2111

agenda for mutual advantage.”

Indeed, Chinese Vice Premier Han Zheng delivered an ode to globalization, with a veiled swipe at Trump’s punishing trade war with China.

Although tariffs remain in place, tensions have eased since both sides signed a preliminary agreement last week.

“Despite the protectionist and unilateral moves by some countries,” he said, “China will not stop opening up, and we will not follow their footsteps to move in the opposite direction.”

Although Trump fancies himself an international tycoon, he’s never been completely comfortable with the economists, celebrities and others who flock to this glitzy Swiss ski resort every winter to brainstorm solutions to global problems.

The conference center itself was a monument to several issues that Trump had ignored or rejected, featuring carpets made from recycled fishing nets, and the kind of energy-efficient lighting that Trump has mocked in the past.

Trump’s trip to Davos is his second, a surprising return engagement considering that he ran for office by denouncing globalists and previous presidents mostly shunned the gathering.

He seemed eager for

vindication from the crowd about his economic policies, saying, “The time for skepticism is over.”

He received some support from the International Monetary Fund, which predicted that global growth would hit 3.3% this year, in part because of the easing of Trump’s trade war with China. That’s up from 2.9% last year, the worst year for the world economy since the Great Recession from 2007 to 2009.

At least some attendees seemed to have grown accustomed to Trump.

Ian Bremmer, head of the Eurasia Group, a political risk consulting firm based in New York, said there was “zero panic” about Trump winning another term in the White House.

“They like the regulatory rollback, they like his Cabinet, they like his tax policy,” he said in an interview with Bloomberg Television.

But Chad Bown, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, said any acceptance was more like relief that Trump’s trade policies hadn’t been more destructive.

“His policies have been extraordinarily damaging,” he said, “and there’s universal consensus on that outside of a small group of people in the United States.”

Not everyone is ready to be a mom, and that’s OK Dear Carolyn: I have always wanted to have a family one day, and I think I still do. I love my husband, and I love the idea of making people who have a little bit of both of us. But all I can envision is uncomfortable pregnancy, painful childbirth and how kids would totally cramp my lifestyle and bank account. Will my perspective on this naturally change?

— Squeamish Squeamish: I have no idea. And telling women they’re going to change their minds about having kids is so patronizing I won’t even touch it.

I also think making decisions based on the expectation of a mind change is a great way to create misery.

So here are some thoughts on your thoughts: Pregnancy and childbirth are serious business, but opting out of kids just to avoid temporary pain and discomfort seems shortsighted, assuming you otherwise really want

Tell Me About It Carolyn Hax

kids.

That kids will totally cramp your lifestyle and bank account is maybe understating it. They will empty your bank account and rewrite your whole lifestyle.

But, for some people, that’s great — that’s what they want to spend their money on and life with kids is their idea of fun.

For others, it’s resentment or anxiety, and what-ifs.

There are (at least) two other things you don’t mention. First, long after the squeamishness issues are behind you, pregnancy can really do a number on a body, in ways that don’t always improve with time.

It can age you, rearrange you, widen you, stretch you out in places you don’t want stretched, mess with

your back, even change what you like to eat.

Second, the lifestyle change isn’t the biggest transformation. It’s a phenomenon often referred to as having “your heart outside your body,” meaning, you have a constant love and concern and fear and responsibility for and attachment to someone not you.

This means you sleep less; worry more; face more challenges that would otherwise never occur to you; face criticism more, since we can’t seem to stop judging each other (I laughed a little too hard at the movie “Bad Moms”); feel gutted more by more failures and disappointments, since you don’t just feel your own, but also your kids’.

Non-parents have all of these weights and feelings, of course — the issue is the “more.” And when you’re a parent, you’re on the hook for it all, at least in the early years and arguably for life in some

Public notices

ways. You’re where the buck stops on ev-ry-thing.

So, if you’re not sure, don’t.

And if you stay unsure, stay don’t.

But do talk to your husband about these thoughts you’re having. It’s not fair to present yourself as one thing and then not mention it when you’re possibly transforming into another.

Re: Squeamish: Maternal mortality is rising in this country. Women’s pain, questions and fears are routinely dismissed.

Pregnancy is a potentially life-threatening condition for even the healthiest.

Squeamish, if you become pregnant, find health-care providers who will be your advocates. Your life may depend on it. — Anonymous Anonymous: Yes, pregnancy is routine until it is not. And there are serious, unacceptable, welldocumented disparities in maternal care. Thanks for speaking up.

College Basketball: Wichita State Shockers

Dexter Dennis helps Wichita State end two-game slide

By TAYLOR ELDRIDGE The Wichita Eagle

TAMPA, Fla. — It wasn’t pretty and it took a banked-in shot or two, but the Wichita State men’s basketball team ended its two-game slide with a 56-43 victory over South Florida on Tuesday at the Yuengling Center.

The Shockers improved to 16-3 overall and moved into a tie for fourth place in the American Athletic Conference at 4-2, while South Florida (8-11, 1-5 American) remained in last place. After losing, 54-41, in Tampa last year, WSU has now won in all but two venues in the American since joining the conference three seasons ago.

One year after WSU finished with just 15 first-half points at the Yuengling Center, the Shockers had an eerie start to their game on Tuesday. WSU missed its first seven shots of the game and was scoreless in its first nine possessions, failing to score until nearly six minutes into the game when Wade scored a layup with 14:14 remaining.

While WSU’s offense never hit its stride, the defense was superb

and this time it was the Shockers who held South Florida to a miserable offensive performance.

WSU limited USF to 43 points, the fewest since holding South Carolina State to 39 in an 85-39 win on Nov. 11, 2016, and to 12 field goals, the fewest since holding Drake to 11 field goals in a 74-48 win on Feb. 9, 2016.

“We’re happy to be back in the win column,” WSU coach Gregg Marshall said. “Coming here last year was a house of horrors for us. Tonight we changed a couple things up to try to get us more clean looks and we were able to do that. We shot it a little better than the last two outings. The difference in the game was our defense. We held them to 12 baskets and you’re going to win a lot of college basketball games when you hold the other team to 12 baskets.”

Freshman Tyson Etienne led WSU in scoring with 13 points, while Dexter Dennis had 12 points on four 3-pointers, the most he’s made in his sophomore season since the season opener. Jaime Echenique added nine points, five rebounds and two blocks, while Trey Wade finished with six points and seven re-

bounds.

For the first time in conference play, WSU won the rebounding advantage with a plusseven effort, 36-29. The Shockers finished with just 11 turnovers against a defense that ranked seventh nationally in forcing turnovers and

outscored USF 18-8 in points off turnovers.

With WSU shooting just 36.5% from the field, Dennis said the Shockers had to find other ways to win on the road.

“It was hard, but winning is hard,” Dennis said. “You probably have the ball in your hands

maybe three total minutes out of the whole game. So you have to do other things like defense and rebounding and helping teammates.

I think we did a good job of that tonight.”

Cold shooting from both sides left WSU clinging to a one-point lead, 36-35, midway through the second half. That’s when the Shockers made the game-defining run — a 10-0 run over seven minutes to put the game away.

The run was started and ended by 3-pointers from Dennis, both when he was standing open on the wings when WSU pushed the ball. The 10-0 run also included an alley-oop from Grant Sherfield to Echenique for an easy score and two free throws from Etienne.

Just as importantly, WSU held the Bulls scoreless for more than seven minutes that spanned 10 possessions where the Shockers ended five of those possessions by turnovers. That left WSU with a 46-35 lead with less than seven minutes remaining, hardly enough time for the ice-cold offense of USF to make up the difference.

“We were giving them one shot,” said Marshall, whose team did not al-

low any second-chance points. “We did a very good job on the initial defense and then we were doing a good job boxing out and securing the rebound. Last year they got a lot of second- and thirdand fourth-chance opportunities. I know that’s a different team for them and a different team for us, but we knew we had to do that because they’re a really tough team.”

Despite its slow start in the first half, USF didn’t have the offensive firepower to make WSU pay for its poor shooting like Temple and Houston did. After watching the mistakes and lack of energy in its last two games, both losses, Dennis said the players were determined not to let the same things happen again.

“After our last practice, I felt like everybody just kind of wanted to forget about those two losses and move on,” Dennis said. “We won games earlier in the year because of defense and toughness and rebounding and when we watched the last two games on film, we didn’t really do any of that at all. We could either turn it around or it was just going to stay the same. We wanted to change.”

coach Bill Self, who was already shaking hands with Kansas State counterpart Bruce Weber when the chaos erupted.

“I need to see the film to comment or have any definitive thoughts on exactly why or how it got started, because to be honest with you I don’t have any idea about that.”

The fight came three days after St. Francis and Sacred Heart were involved in a wild fracas following their game in Pennsylvania. But while that incident in the Northeast Conference went largely unnoticed, the pedigree of Kansas and the fact that both schools play in the Big 12 instantly turned their brawl into a national event.

“Obviously it’s an embarrassment,” Self said.

“It’s not something to be proud of. What happened showed zero signs of toughness. It’s a sign of immaturity and selfishness more so than toughness. If I was a fan watching, depending on your perspective, there would be nothing about that intriguing me to watch more.”

Then, adding to the bizarre finish, five players from each team were summoned back from the locker rooms by of-

ficials and one-tenth of a second was put on the clock. Kansas State shot technical free throws to booing from a few thousand fans, and the one make necessitated a change to the final box score.

The reason only those players returned? The rest of the players from each team — including those dressed in street clothes — were ejected because they had left the bench while the game was in progress.

“It should have been avoided,” Weber said.

“It’s my guys, it’s my fault. They came here wanting to have a game, compete, and we didn’t compete the way we needed to, and probably a little frustration, especially the young guys.”

Weber had instructed his players to back off in the closing seconds and let the game run out. And while Self said he didn’t agree with the steal and layup attempt, he did acknowledge that Kansas State was merely playing to the final whistle.

“Silvio knew he was being defended,” Self said. “He took his ball, and certainly the way Silvio reacted to getting his ball taken, going and blocking his shot, that’s fair game. What transpired after that is what

set everything off.”

While he won’t be alone, De Sousa is likely to receive the stiffest punishment from the incident — the latest chapter in a career that has brought far more embarrassment and frustration to Kansas than pride and success.

It was De Sousa whose name surfaced in the FBI probe into college basketball in October 2018, and that in part led to an NCAA investigation of Kansas. The school received a notice of allegations last September that outlined major violations in men’s basketball, levied a head coach responsibility charge against Self and alleged a lack of institutional control.

Those violations are being appealed and a decision is not expected until well after the season.

De Sousa was suspended last season for his role in the case, and he was supposed to sit out this season as well.

But the school successfully appealed the decision, allowing the junior forward to return to the court.

Asked what his message was in the locker room after the game, Self replied: “There was no discussion on what happened from their vantage point. We talk-

ed to them and relayed to them how selfish it was. We relayed how disappointed we are. We should be in here talking about Christian Braun and selfishness created a situation where that’s not going to be the story line whatsoever. There was no communication back and forth. It was one way.”

Indeed, Braun was the story of the game until the final seconds after hitting six 3-pointers and scoring a careerhigh 20 points in his first Sunflower Showdown.

The freshman guard grew up in nearby Burlington, Kansas.

Devon Dotson added 18 points and Udoka Azubuike finished with 10 points and 14 rebounds for Kansas (15-3, 5-1 Big 12), which beat the Wildcats for the 14th straight time at Allen Fieldhouse. Xavier Sneed had 16 points and David Sloan had 14 for the Wildcats (8-10, 1-5), who played a part in ending the Jayhawks’ conference title run last season.

“Credit to them. They kicked our butt,” said Weber, whose chin was reddened by what he called a stress-induced reaction. “I’m just happy nothing major happened to either team where there was an escalated

fight. It was a bad play at the end. It’s disappointing. Life lessons for our young guys and hopefully next time they’ll be a little smarter.”

BIG PICTURE

Kansas played its best game in weeks, but it could come at quite the cost — several Jayhawks appeared to throw punches in the fracas, and that is almost cer-

tainly going to lead to suspensions. How long they last could impact how the Jayhawks fare in a stretch coming up that includes the Big 12SEC Challenge.

NFL: Kansas City Chiefs

Hunt family glad to be back on top of the AFC, heading to Super Bowl KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Clark Hunt remembers well the celebrations four years ago that surrounded the golden anniversary of the Super Bowl, the championship game whose name was coined by his late father and Kansas City Chiefs founder Lamar Hunt.

One moment stands out more than the rest.

It had to do with Hunt’s mother, Norma, who has been to every championship game since the Chiefs played the Green Bay Packers in the first one in 1967.

“Clark,” she said shortly afterward, “it sure would be nice if we could play in this game once while I’m still able to go.”

She’s finally getting her wish.

On Sunday, the most visible face of the Chiefs ownership family took center stage when Clark Hunt raised the AFC title trophy — the Lamar Hunt Trophy — after a 35-24 victory over Tennessee. Right beside Clark and celebrating the return of the franchise to the big game for the first time in 50 years was his mother, and his siblings weren’t far away.

Football is a family affair for the Hunts. Not only did Lamar found the franchise but he was among the eight owners in the “Foolish Club” who founded the AFL, then barged their way into a unified NFL. Clark was not yet 2 years old when the Chiefs played in the first Super Bowl, and he has only faint memories of attending the 1970 game, when the Chiefs beat the Minnesota Vikings to win their only championship.

“I was at that game and I have a photo,” he

said, “so I hate to say that I don’t really remember it. I was 4 or 5 years old.

Actually, the first game that I remember is the Christmas Day game a few years after” — the Chiefs lost to the Dolphins in the 1971 playoffs in the longest game in NFL history — “which isn’t a great one to have as your first memory. I’m grateful to block that out with what we’re going to do in Miami in a couple of weeks.”

Norma Hunt was a schoolteacher who also worked as a hostess for the Dallas Texans when she met and fell in love with Lamar. The franchise would later move to Kansas City and become the Chiefs. And when the family patriarch died in 2006, the franchise passed into the hands of his children.

Much like his father, who was so integral in league affairs for nearly four decades, Clark quickly became one of the go-to voices among NFL owners when issues such as the collective bargaining agreement arose. His even demeanor, thoughtful disposition and acute business acumen also have made him a sounding board for Commissioner Roger Goodell.

Yet for all his accomplishments, the one thing Clark had never done was follow his team all the way to the Super Bowl.

There had been close calls over the years. The teams of Marty Schottenheimer throughout the 1990s were always on the cusp of greatness, and Dick Vermeil kept the winning tradition in Kansas City. But when Andy Reid took the Chiefs to the AFC title game last year, and ulti-

mately lost to the Patriots in overtime thanks partly to a coin flip and an offside penalty, Hunt and his family could be forgiven for thinking they were just a little bit jinxed.

“It was heart-breaking,” Hunt said, “and we were playing a franchise that has been tremendously successful over the last decade-plus.

And there was probably a question mark in the back of our heads to whether we could really beat them because it had been so many times where you thought the Patriots were out, but sure enough they found a way to win it and go on to win the Super Bowl.

I think the experience of having played in the game last year helped the entire organization, particularly the players and coaches. I think they had a little bit more confidence this year.”

Given all those years of disappointment, it was little surprise that Reid thanked the Hunt family first when the Chiefs finally broke through Sunday. And it’s why even the newest members of the team knew the meaning of it for the owners.

“It’s been 50 years since we brought this trophy back to Kansas City,” said Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu, who joined the team last offseason. “It’s about the people of Kansas City, everything that they sacrificed, everything they endured for the last 50 years, and it’s ultimately about Lamar Hunt. We wouldn’t be here without him. We wish he was here right now, I think Clark is doing a great job, and this is what it’s about: Lamar Hunt.”

Hunt rarely speaks

JANUARY 28 • 7:30 P.M.

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, left, shakes the hand of owner Clark Hunt in 2014. KEITH MYERS/KANSAS CITY STAR/TNS publicly — usually just a handful of times each year. But when he does speak, he is often candid.

So when Hunt stood on a sweltering practice field at Missouri Western State University in the first few days of training camp last summer, he made it clear that getting close to an AFC championship wasn’t enough.

He wanted to finally win the game that had

eluded him so long.

Hunt wanted to give his mom a chance to watch their team playing for it all.

“Last year, we were glad to be there, but we were also very disappointed that we weren’t playing in THE game.

It’s going to be a very different experience this year,” he said. “We’ve got that checked off but at the end of the day,

we’ve still got a big goal to accomplish. At the beginning of the season, I talked to players about our goals during the year. Making the playoffs is goal number one. Bringing this (AFC championship) trophy home to Kansas City is goal number two. We’ve got those done. Our big goal left is to bring another Lombardi trophy back to Kansas City.”
