Carving into the meat market

Royals sweep Milwaukee

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

LAHARPE — One of the myriad byproducts of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the way it hampered production at feedlots across the country, was the cost of beef.

Just as importantly, it also meant great difficulty for cattle producers to get their animals processed.

Gene Weatherbie was one of those cattlemen — forced to hold on to his livestock longer than normal as he waited for openings at area butchers.

“I would drive by this place every day, and I knew it was here,” Weatherbie said.

The place was a small meat processing facility on the outskirts of LaHarpe, built by Shawn Gumfory, but idle for the past 20 years.

The availability gave Weatherbie an idea. He See LOCKER | Page A5

Kansas health system won’t take transfers

By JOHN HANNA The Associated Press

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A major Kansas health system is declining to admit patients from other hospitals because it has too few open beds with the faster-spreading delta variant wiping out recent months of progress for the state in containing COVID-19.

Dr. Steve Stites, the chief medical officer for the University of Kansas Health System, said Wednesday that the bed space problem at its main hospital in Kansas City, Kansas, is now worse than it was last fall, when the See HOSPITALS | Page A3

Youth group headed to mission trip

By VICKIE MOSS The Iola Register

Performing mission work in another community puts life and service to God in perspective, members of the Wesley United Methodist Church Youth Group said.

It also gives them ideas for ways to help their own community when they return.

They’ll be leaving Saturday for a mission trip at a Native American reservation in New York. While there, they’ll spend a week meeting with other youth from across the country, helping with various tasks to improve the reservation.

The local youth group has been to six other missions through the YouthWorks organization. They’ve been to Chicago, St. Paul, Minn., Atlanta, New Orleans, Daytona See MISSION | Page A3

Lawsuit: Kansas altered software to hide records

By ROXANA HEGEMAN Associated Press

BELLE PLAINE, Kan. (AP) — A judge is considering whether Kansas’ Republican secretary of state ran afoul of the state’s open records law by ordering the removal of an election database function that generates a statewide report showing which provisional ballots were not counted — a decision civil rights advocates say will have far-reaching implications for government transparency.

Shawnee County District Judge Teresa Watson heard arguments last week in a lawsuit filed by voting rights activist Davis Hammet, who is the president of Loud Light, a nonprofit that strives to increase voter turnout. The group helps voters fix any issues that led them to cast provisional ballots so that their votes are counted.

Voters are given provisional ballots if they don’t appear to be registered, if they fail to present the required identification or if they are trying to vote at the wrong polling place.

“We know there are deficiencies... where they aren’t counting votes that they should be counting and I think on some level there may be a resistance from the

secretary of state to provide that data because it means we can highlight these deficiencies,” Hammet said in a phone interview Wednesday.

“We can prove how there are votes that should have been counted that are not being counted.”

That information can raise public awareness about problems in the elections system, leading to changes in state law. He noted the political outcry over the hundreds of discarded mailin ballots statewide in the 2018 primary led to legislation a year later that requires election officials to notify voters before their mail-in ballots are thrown out because of problems with signatures.

Hammet won a lawsuit last year against Secretary of State Scott Schwab that forced him to turn over to him the names of voters who cast provisional ballots in the 2018 general election, including whether their votes were counted.

Schwab complied with the court’s order for the 2018 data, then instructed the outside firm that manages the database the end the secretary of state’s access to the statewide provisional ballot detail report. The state’s 105 counties can still run those reports, but only for their own local data.

THE BENEFITS OF SPAYING AND NEUTERING PETS

By Nicole Wright and Leann Flowers, DVM Most of us know that spaying or neutering their pets prevents unwanted pregnancies and expensive care for newborn animals. Many people, however, are unaware of the other benefits of proactive spaying or neutering. There are behavioral benefits, health benefits, and monetary benefits.

Deciding to spay or neuter a pet may be the best preventative healthcare an owner can provide.

As pets age, their hormones associated with their reproductive organs can cause many undesirable behaviors. Pets may begin to mark their territory by “spraying” or urinating inside.

They may also become more protective and aggressive. Of course, there are those other obvious—and uncomfortable—behaviors such as humping, harassing guests, and chasing other intact pets all over town! Spaying or neutering pets early can help to prevent the development of these behaviors; and even later in life, these surgeries may help to reduce some of these behaviors.

Older pets often struggle with their health, but pets who have been spayed or neutered have significantly less problems to worry about. Male cancers, including testicular cancer and prostate cancer, can be prevented by early neutering. These cancers develop and are worsened by the presence of large amounts of testosterone. Female cancers such as mammary cancer, better known as breast cancer, are prevented by spaying, as the entire uterus and both ovaries are removed. This is not the only health benefit for females, however.

Pyometra, or infected uterus, affects many older intact females, and is very expensive to treat, as the leading treatment is a spay with much higher risk for further infection and complications. Pregnancies are hard on the bodies of pets; they require increased energy consumption and can lead to many other secondary health conditions, especially if the pregnancy is unnoticed. Unplanned pregnancies are often not noticed until very close to term, and the pet may not have received good supportive care such as increased calories or advanced monitoring. This increases the likelihood of pregnancy complications and secondary health conditions further down the road. Spaying your pet prevents all this hardship and reduces the risk of dangerous health conditions.

If money is a concern, then spaying and neutering is the best option. Pregnancies, cancer, and other health problems can be expensive! Spaying or neutering an animal may seem expensive when viewed only by the upfront cost, but it saves pet owners thousands of dollars in care later in life.

Spaying or neutering animals saves a pet owner on future food costs, housing expenses, and medical bills for unexpected newborn animals. Spaying or neutering pets is the single best decision that an owner can make for their animals in terms of behavior, preventative care, and their wallets.

Summer of disaster: Extreme weather wreaks havoc worldwide

By DAVID PIERSON, ALICE SU and MOLLY HENNESSY-FISKE Los Angeles Times (TNS)

BEIJING — Torrents of murky brown water gushed past the train window, flowing fast through the subway tunnel. Inside, passengers stood on top of seats, clutching their phones overhead as the muddy tide rose past their chests. Some gasped for air. Others sent desperate last messages to family members, telling them their bank card passcodes and saying goodbye.

“The water outside has already come this high,” one frightened woman said, reaching out to the subway car door in a video that spread quickly online. “My phone is almost dead. I don’t know if this is my last WeChat message.”

The woman, one of some 500 people trapped

on a subway amid catastrophic flooding Tuesday night in Zhengzhou, in China’s Henan province, reportedly survived. A dozen people did not.

The scenes of desperation and devastation in Zhengzhou added to a portfolio of disasters this year that have raised the specter of irreversible climate change as never before and offered glimpses of what it means to live on a warming planet where human survival grows more fraught.

Extreme weather this summer has flattened picturesque rural communities in Germany with floodwaters, triggered deadly mudslides in India and sparked heat waves and fires that can be seen from space in the western United States and Canada. Floods have also wrought damage in parts of New Zealand, Nigeria and Iran.

Scientists have been

warning for years that rising temperatures will make dry conditions for wildfires more common in some parts of the world and, in other places, trap more moisture in the atmosphere, leading to heavier rainfalls during storms.

That could cause more volatile events like the downpour over London on July 12, when about a month’s worth of rain fell on parts of the British capital, leading to

flash floods that paralyzed some streets and forced the partial closure of its famed Underground rail system.

It could also inflict more unprecedented heat waves like those experienced this month in the Pacific Northwest, where hundreds of people are believed to have died from the extreme temperatures, and Russia’s Siberia, where nearly 200 separate forest fires have choked the

average number of new cases per day was climbing toward pandemic highs. He said the hospital had open beds then because people were wearing masks and social distancing, and doctors weren’t seeing other infections.

Kansas is seeing its highest averages for new COVID-19 cases since late February, as confirmed cases of the fast-spreading delta variant surge, data shows. Stites said the University of Kansas Health System is turning down between one and six patient transfers per day, and the problem will get worse as new cases keep climbing.

“We are full as a hospital, and because we are full, we cannot take transfers,” Stites said

during a daily webcast.

“The rest of our hospital is running full steam.”

Stites’ comments came a day after the health system announced that thousands of employees will receive bonuses of $1,250 after battling the coronavirus pandemic. A spokesperson called the bonuses “a special thank-you gift,” The Kansas City Star reported.

Top Republicans in the GOP-controlled Legislature on June 15 ended a state of emergency for the pandemic over Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly’s objections. The following week, the average number of new cases per day dropped below 100 for the first time in a year.

But new cases have been rising over the past four weeks. State Department of Health and Environment data showed that Kansas had an average of 495 new cases per day during the seven-day period that ended Wednesday, which was more than double the average for the seven-day period that ended July 7, two weeks earlier.

Confirmed delta variant cases tripled during that two-week period, from 358 on July 7 to 1,104 as of Wednesday.

Confirming which variant sickened someone requires genetic testing of the patient’s nasal swab or saliva sample, and 7.8% of the samples from positive COVID-19 results have undergone such testing this month.

and Philadelphia. They typically do a mission every other year, but last year’s mission was canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic.

They went to Philadelphia in 2018. Youth group member Collin Long talked about an experience there working with children. The kids were thrilled to see them every day, especially one boy in particular.

“That level of excitement was great. They loved the attention,” Long said.

The experience was so profound, it inspired the youth group to start offering community cookouts in Iola last year.

They would provide a simple cookout for free in a neighborhood, and the church youth group members would take time to play with the children just as they had on their Philadelphia mission.

A previous mission, in Daytona, also inspired The Foundry, a former church building where youth can gather to hang out and play games in a safe environment.

“There’s something about leaving everything behind and getting away from everyday life, where you are just dedicated to doing God’s

work and don’t have the distractions,” Lori Cooper, youth ministry director, said. “Then you bring that back here to help your community.”

Madi Carlin has attended several missions as a youth and is now going as an adult leader.

Her experiences taught her how to better interact with a wide group of people from different lifestyles.

“I”ve learned something different from each one,” she said.

Thane Meadows warned his fellow youth group members, especially those who had

never taken part in a mission, they should be prepared to cry at the end.

“That last day, you feel like you’ve completely changed,” he said. “You don’t want to leave.”

Chris Holloway will be taking part in the mission for the first time. He’s looking forward to seeing how he can use his leadership skills to help another community.

“All of us have something unique to offer and I feel like we can give something to them, but also it will make us better,” he said.

Kelly so far has remained focused on increasing COVID-19 vaccination rates.

The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Wednesday that about 1.26 million Kansas residents, or 43.2% of the state’s 2.9 million residents, have been fully vaccinated. That lagged behind the national rate of 48.8% and far behind the state with the highest rate, Vermont, where 67.1% of people had been inoculated as of Wednesday. Vaccinations in Kansas peaked in early April.

Asked Tuesday at the Statehouse whether there is a point at which she’d consider declaring another state of emergency, the governor said, “There is no red line.”

“We’re focused on doing what we can to get people vaccinated and make the delta variant irrelevant to them,” she told The Topeka Capital-Journal.

region in smoke that has since drifted to Alaska.

“All of this was predicted in climate science decades ago,” said John P. Holdren, a professor of environmental policy at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government. “We only had to wait for the actual emergence in the last 15 to 20 years. Everything we worried about is happening, and it’s all happening at the high end of projections, even faster than the previous most pessimistic estimates.”

Scientists and environmental activists are in a race to persuade the world to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by enough to prevent global temperatures from rising more than 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels. Failure to do so could result in massive disruptions such as famine and widespread coastal flooding.

Time is short: Global temperatures have already risen on average by 1.2 degrees Celsius since 1880.

Last week, the European Union proposed sweeping legislation aimed at cutting emissions by more than half of 1990 levels by 2030 through the phasing out of gasoline and diesel cars and the imposition of tariffs on imports from polluting countries. The plan poses formidable challenges

for the 27-country bloc, including trade tensions and a political backlash from climate change denialists.

Scientists say global warming almost certainly exacerbated the conditions for the floods that ravaged Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands last week, killing at least 180 people. Parts of Western Europe were battered by two months’ worth of rainfall in two days, leading to overflowing rivers and torrents of floodwaters that toppled centuries-old buildings and saturated farmland that collapsed into giant sinkholes of churned earth.

“The German language barely has words for the devastation that has been wreaked,” German Chancellor Angela Merkel said at a news conference after surveying the devastation Sunday.

Rains have also inundated Luxembourg, France, Switzerland and Austria, where parts of the historic city of Salzburg were submerged.

Further north, Finland is recovering from its warmest June on record — mirroring unusually hot conditions in North America that paved the way for the destruction of whole communities by fire, such as Lytton in British Columbia, Canada, where temperatures rose past 120 degrees.

Jan 6 probe: Will GOP rise to the moment?

Whatever one may think of Donald Trump or the circumstances of last year’s election or even the bitterness of this nation’s partisan divide, it ought to be easy to condemn the events of Jan. 6 and to support a broad inquiry into what happened and how to prevent it from happening again. Sadly, Republicans in Congress can’t seem to recognize what should be an inescapable conclusion.

First, they opposed an independent commission modeled after the panel that looked into the events of 9/11.

Next, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy attempted to undermine House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s backup plan, a 13-member bipartisan select committee charged with the same duties, by nominating five members who were, to put it mildly, mostly rightwing flamethrowers loyal to the former president. On Wednesday, Speaker Pelosi rejected the two worst, Reps.

Jim Jordan and Jim Banks, leaving Reps. Rodney Davis, Kelly Armstrong and Troy E. Nehls. McCarthy then withdrew all five nominees and vowed not to cooperate with a “sham process” unless all five are seated.

It remains to be seen whether some reasonable standards of decency and intellectual honesty can be restored to what has, perhaps predictably, descended quickly into partisan squabbling.

It’s not as if House Republicans have shown a lot of interest in the cause of justice prior to Wednesday. “Make no mistake, Nancy Pelosi created this committee solely to malign conservatives and justify the left’s authoritarian agenda,” Banks, who would have been the group’s ranking member, previously posted on Twitter. And did we mention that three of the five initial nominees voted to overturn the 2020 presidential election results after the insurrection? No doubt the first round of choices met with approval from Trump, with whom McCarthy just happened to meet at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, prior to announcing their appointment.

Some Democrats might well be focused on political opportunity, too. And if that’s all their intent with this investigation, then shame on them. So far, at least, Speaker Pelosi and many others of her party appear legitimately interested in exploring the terrible events of that day.

A mob of Trump supporters seeking to overturn the results of the election — called into action by Trump himself — stormed the U.S. Capitol, disrupting a joint session of Congress as it certified the election in favor of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. It was not “rowdy tourism” or “free speech in action” or any of the various other bogus ex-

planations that have been offered by those who seek to avoid the ugly truth. The mob occupied and vandalized one of this country’s most sacred spaces. Five people were killed as a direct result. How could all Americans not be absolutely horrified by this criminal conduct?

That the so-called party of law and order can so easily overlook the death of Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick and the injuries sustained by at least 137 fellow officers represents a jaw-dropping level of hypocrisy. Nearly as shameful are the consistent attempts at blame-shifting, by either pointing to violence that erupted in some cities in reaction to the death of George Floyd at the hands of police or focusing on the lack of adequate preparations to thwart an attack on the building. While the latter may prove useful (much like broader post-9/11 discussions of counter-terrorism), how efforts to subvert democracy in January are connected to concerns about police misconduct or race relations (with the unrest in Baltimore after the death of Freddie Gray six years ago sometimes thrown into the mix) is a mystery. Last we looked, West Baltimore is not the U.S. Capitol.

In the words of U.S. District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth, those who continue to try to “rewrite history” regarding the events of Jan. 6 are spouting “utter nonsense.” The parade of hundreds of insurrection participants before Judge Lamberth and others, along with the release of videos from that day, have been helpful in keeping Americans grounded in reality.

Not all of them, obviously, but perhaps enough. How much better — how much stronger our nation and the prospects for continuing our democracy — if Republicans would take up the cause of truth as so many did after 9/11? Would it serve Donald Trump’s personal interests?

Probably not. But it would surely help the country heal and move on.

And who knows? The statesmanship and patriotism they would need to muster to perform this task may well be rewarded in the next election. Voters like values.

In 1974 when Richard Nixon resigned from office in disgrace after Watergate, Republicans did not come rushing to his side to claim the break-in and cover-up never happened. That honorable choice was good for them, good for their party, good for their country. Actively seeking to derail this inquiry as Mr. McCarthy and his suspect on-again, off-again appointees appear anxious to do, falls woefully short of that standard.

Flight: more than just a joy ride The richest man on Earth briefly lost that title Tuesday morning, but only because for a few floaty minutes he was no longer on Earth. Jeff Bezos has spent two decades using his Amazon wealth to underwrite a rocket venture, Blue Origin. On Tuesday the company launched its first manned flight to space, with Mr. Bezos strapped on board the capsule.

After riding the New Shepard rocket to Mach 3, experiencing weightlessness, and parachuting back to the Texas desert, Mr. Bezos thanked the engineers and crew, along with “every Amazon employee and every Amazon customer, because you guys paid for all this.”

It’s easy to dismiss this as a joy ride, which in part it was, or as the indulgence of a rich man with attention-deficit disorder. But as billionaires’ hobbies go, this is more productive than, well, owning the Washington Post. “The architecture and the technology we have chosen,” Mr. Bezos said, “is complete overkill for a suborbital tourism mission.” That’s because the mission isn’t limited to expensive thrills.

Tourism is merely the first rung of the space ladder. Blue Origin has two more manned flights on the schedule for this year, and Mr. Bezos said the company is approaching $100 million in private sales.

Virgin Galactic has presold hundreds of tickets for its space plane, which flew its founder, Richard Branson, to weightlessness last week.

on the calendar, too.

It isn’t clear how big this tourism market will be, but the competition is clearly on, as Blue Origin brags that its capsule has bigger windows than the other guy’s.

As these companies strive to outdo each other, costs will fall. Engineering advances, such as reusable rockets that land vertically, have already slashed the price of getting cargo to space.

The money paid by wealthy passengers will also help these companies go higher. Blue Origin has other projects in the works, including a New Glenn rocket that will be big enough to put satellites into orbit. Mr. Musk, as everyone knows, is aiming for Mars. The benefits of all this are hard to say precisely, but that’s the nature of exploration and entrepreneurial risk-taking.

Several companies are

working on constellations of small satellites that could beam fast internet to remote areas that lack it. Novel uses of technology are harder to predict, but surprises happen when smart people are trying to be the first to achieve some milestone. Nobody working on America’s first satellite missions in the 1950s and ’60s could have ever imagined that the Global Positioning System, or GPS, would one day keep millions of people and Uber drivers from getting lost.

Mr. Bezos has reportedly been putting around $1 billion a year into Blue Origin, which is no small sum, but it will pay dividends to have another competitor reaching for the stars. It might look like one small jaunt for Mr. Bezos, but it’s another big leap for America’s commercial space business.

Spears’ plight deserves support #FreeBritney.

The hashtag seen round the world is getting support from South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace, R-Daniel Island.

On Tuesday, Mace introduced legislation, co-sponsored by Rep. Charlie Crist, D-Florida, to protect the rights of those under conservatorships including pop singer Britney Spears.

The bill, called the Free Britney Act. would require someone under guardianship to have the right to ask a judge to replace a private guardian or conservator with a public guardian or a family member.

In addition, caseworkers would be designated for every person under guardianship to monitor for signs of abuse.

The bill would also provide grants to states to pay the salaries of those caseworkers.

Conservatorships, as explained by the California Supreme Court’s website, come about during a court proceeding where a judge appoints a responsible person (called a conservator) to care for another adult who cannot care for him/herself or his/her fi-

Britney Spears in 2013 (Wikipedia photo.) nances (called a conservatee).

The bill highlights a number of incidents of conservatorship gone wrong, specifically mentioning “the inability of Britney Spears to free herself from her father’s control, indicate that State guardianship and conservatorship systems can deprive a United States citizen or resident of liberty and property without due process.”

Spears’ father has been designated as her conservator since 2008. In recent court proceedings, Spears said it was long enough.

“I just want my life back,” Spears said.

Spears’ situation has garnered worldwide attention and if Mace and Crist’s bill can aid people in similar situations we support the effort.

California wildfires: PG&E will place 10,000 miles of electric lines underground

By FIONA KELLIHER and GEORGE AVALOS Mercury News (TNS)

The PG&E utility pledged Wednesday to place thousands of miles of electric lines underground in a quest to reduce the likelihood of destructive wildfires in Northern and Central California, but provided few details on where exactly — and how quickly — the effort could play out in the years to come.

The promise arrived as the nearly 90,000-acre Dixie fire continued to roar through rugged Butte County and three days after the utility admitted in a state regula-

The Camp fire burns near Pulga, Calif., in 2018. The blaze was linked to maintenance delays on PG&E power lines. (CAROLYN COLE/LOS ANGELES TIMES/TNS) tory filing that its equipment touching a tree may have sparked the blaze. The fire remained just 15% contained as of Wednesday afternoon.

Speaking first from the nearby town of Chi-

co and later in a call with reporters, Chief Executive Officer Patti Poppe said that the utility had planned to announce the project a few months from now but “couldn’t wait, particu-

larly given the proximity to the Dixie fire and the emotional toll it has on all of us.”

“We want what all of our customers want, a safe and resilient energy system,” she said.

“We have taken a stand that catastrophic wildfires shall stop.”

Yet when it came to sharing the details of that potential work — including how many years such an undertaking could require and which lines or geographic areas will be prioritized first — the utility’s executives remained vague, beyond saying its scope will ultimately include about 10,000 miles.

Locker: New business opened in March Continued from A1

reached out to Chris Weston of Moran, who had worked briefly at a butcher shop in Richmond, about a partnership.

Over the next several months, Weatherbie and Weston worked to secure funding and equipment to reopen the facility.

It took a while.

Their first application for a food systems grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture was denied, but a second one was approved late last year.

That was the opening they needed to create Bovine & Swine Meat Locker, at the intersection of 2400 Street and U.S. 54.

Joining the operation, as the chief butcher, is Virgle “Red Bone” Valentine, great-nephew of

the late Lee Gumfory, former Iola city commissioner and longtime owner of Zero Packing in Iola.

Valentine grew up around the Zero plant, and worked for years as a butcher there until its doors closed more than 20 years ago. (In the years since, Valentine worked at Russell Stover Candies in LaHarpe.)

“We were classmates,” Weatherbie said of Valentine. “I’ve known him all my life, and I knew he was available.”

Meanwhile, Weston completed Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) training, necessary for producers to ensure food safety in meat processing facilities.

AND THEN there was the matter of fixing

up the old butcher shop, which was used privately by the Gumforys for their own cattle and for deer harvests.

“The building was in pretty good shape, but there was no equipment,” Weston explained.

With the grant funds in place, Weatherbie and Weston were able to acquire new refrigeration units for the cooler, as well as an industrial saw, grinder and other equipment. (The saw and tables came from the old Country Mart grocery store in Iola.)

A few maintenance items were necessary, such as fixing the ceiling as well. They also had to build an office and storage room onto the building.

BOVINE and Swine

opened its doors officially in March. After an early glut of business, with oversized cattle, the demand has lessened.

“It’s quite a bit better,” Weston said.

“Farmers had to set on them for too long,, but it’s better now,” Weston said, noting they have immediate openings available for any Allen County Fair buyers.

They’re able to keep as many as five beef in the facility at once.

“We can handle anything but chickens,” Weatherbie notes.

They’re not equipped, or have proper certification yet, for retail sales.

For more information, Weatherbie and Weston can be reached at (620) 496-6085 or 3631613.

Over the coming months, a staff of public safety power shutoff specialists and engineers will map out the highest-risk areas and lines that are “ripe” for undergrounding, Poppe said. She did not explain which geographies or specific lines could be

affected.

PG&E now counts about 100,000 miles of lines overhead, and about 27,000 miles underground, Chief Operating Officer Adam Wright said. The utility plans to bury lines that were originally built overhead.

Chanute business burns By the Register staff

CHANUTE — The cause of a Tuesday evening fire that destroyed Playmakers Bar & Grill, at the intersection of Main and Evergreen streets, remains under investigation, officials said.

Damage to the building was so extensive that demolition crews began tearing down the rest of the 91-year-old building Wednesday, the Chanute Tribune reported.

The fire was reported shortly after 5 p.m.

Tuesday. The entire Chanute Fire Department — 15 firefighters — were at the scene, with an aerial truck,

tanker and both fire engines, the Tribune reported. Iola firefighters arrived with Iola’s aerial shortly after 6 to help battle the blaze.

Parsons firefighters also responded.

The structure was built in 1929 as the International Order of Odd Fellows Lodge.

The scene of both the fire and subsequent demolition brought several curious onlookers to watch from a distance, the newspaper reported.

The Kansas Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating the fire.

The agency typically is called for commercial structure fires.

KC completes season sweep of Brewers MILWAUKEE (AP) — Nicky Lopez hit a bases-loaded, tiebreaking double, Brad Keller earned his first win in over six weeks and the Kansas City Royals completed a season sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers with a 6-3 win on Wednesday.

On an afternoon when the Brewers made a pair of errors that caused Kansas City’s first five runs to be unearned, two of the loudest ovations at the stadium came when the scoreboard showed video clips of Milwaukee Bucks players asking fans to get loud.

The Bucks won their first NBA championship since 1971 on Tuesday night, beating the Phoenix Suns in Game 6 in the downtown arena about three miles away.

Jorge Soler added a towering homer in the eighth inning as the Royals continued

their improbable season-long mastery of the Brewers.

The Brewers lead the NL Central and the Royals are last in the AL Central, yet Kansas City won all four meetings this year. The Royals swept a two-game series in Kansas City on May 18-19 and won 5-2 at Milwaukee on Tuesday.

Keller (7-9) struck out six and allowed three runs and two walks in 6 2/3 innings to pick up a win for the first time since June 4. Keller had gone 0-5 with two no-decisions over his last seven starts, though he’s pitched well in his three July appearances.

Scott Barlow retired the side in order in the ninth for his fifth save in eight tries.

The Royals boosted Keller by capitalizing on some shaky Brewers defense.

Scandals remain long after torch goes out TOKYO (AP) — From doping to demonstrations to dirty officials, the Olympics have never lacked their share of off-the-field scandals and controversies that keep the Games in the headlines long after the torch goes out. The five-year gap since the last Summer Olympics has been no different. A brief look at some of the most notable news to hit the Olympic world since it last convened for the Summer Games: SEX ABUSE — Larry Nassar’s sexual abuse of hundreds of gymnasts in the U.S. opened a window into an abusive culture that permeates throughout the sport and in all corners of the globe. Since Rio de Janeiro, the U.S. Center for SafeSport opened to investigate complaints about abuse in sports.

It took the decision-making process of these cases out of the hands of organizations such as USA Gymnastics, which for years had been forced to pit members (gymnasts) against members (coaches) when abuse allegations arose. Other abuse allegations in taekwondo, water polo and figure skating were among those that

The emblems of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games are displayed during an event to unveil the medals, podium and music to be used for the medal ceremonies at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. POOL/GETTY IMAGES/ISSEL KATO/TNS came to light in the United States, and the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee rewrote its own bylaws to, in part, prioritize the mental and physical well-being of its athletes instead of the chase for Olympic medals.

RUSSIA DOPING — In Rio, the IOC rejected a World Anti-Doping Agency recommendation to ban all Russian competitors from the Olympics as punishment for a wide-ranging scheme the country designed to help its athletes dope without getting caught. As a

result, around 270 Russians were permitted to compete in 2016. Possibly emboldened by the IOC move, Russia continued to cover up its misdeeds.

In 2019, WADA investigators determined that Russia had manipulated 23 gigabytes of data that could have been used to pursue cases related to the original cheating. WADA suggested a four-year ban with heavy restrictions on which Russians could compete, but the Court of Arbitration for See OLYMPICS | Page B6

Abbott shines as US softball edges Canada FUKUSHIMA, Japan (AP) — Six outs from her second Olympic no-hitter, Monica Abbott was clinging to a one-run lead when she walked Canada’s Jen Gilbert leading off the sixth inning, and pinch-hitter Sara Groenewegen lined a 0-2 pitch to the right-center field gap.

Center fielder Haylie McCleney picked up the ball at the wall and fired to Ali Aguilar. The second baseman made a perfect one-hop throw to catcher Aubree Munro, who moved up the third-base line and swiped a tag on sliding pinch-runner Joey Lye for the out.

“It’s fun to be on the mound to watch that,” Abbott said after her one-hitter led the United States over Canada 1-0 on Thursday in the first of three one-run softball games. “I don’t want to give up a hit like that, but, man oh man, it took a lot of confidence in me on our defense.”

Amanda Chidester hit an RBI single in the fifth

Monica Abbott off loser Jenna Caira that scored McCleney, who went 3 for 3 with a walk and has reached base seven times in two games.

Trying to regain the gold medal it lost to Japan in the 2008 final, the U.S. improved to 2-0. After a day off for the opening ceremony in Tokyo, the tournament shifts to Yokohama on Saturday.

Oklahoma Sooners fans yell as the Texas Longhorns kick the ball off to Oklahoma at the start of a 2018 football game. The schools are exploring the possibility of moving to the Southeast Conference, a source said. TNS FILE PHOTO

The last time Texas got a wandering eye for another conference it fueled a series of realignments in college sports that nearly killed the Big 12.

Texas is once again exploring free agency, stealing the headlines at the Southeastern Conference media days and cranking up speculation about another round of conference shuffling. And the Longhorns aren’t alone in looking around.

There have been discussions between Texas and Oklahoma and SEC officials

about switching conferences, but no formal invitations have been extended, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press on Wednesday night.

The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the talks were intended to be confidential, said officials from Texas initiated the discussion. The Houston Chronicle first reported the discussions.

Adding two members would give the powerhouse SEC 16 teams, the most in major college football. Losing two schools would be a devastating blow to the 10-member Big 12.

Questions about the report were greeted by a series of no comments from the primary parties involved, but no denials.

“I’m talking about the 2021 season,” SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey said at SEC football media days.

Texas A&M athletic director Ross Bjork was adamant about not wanting the Longhorns, once the school’s greatest rival, in the SEC. “We want to be the only SEC program in the state of Texas,” Bjork told reporters.

also, I’m sure we would have some genuine, real conversations, too. I just think the better version of any content, but especially this show, is one that is more all-encompassing.

If characters weren’t fleshed-out, real people who had significant thoughts and worries and fears, it would just be a bunch of silliness.

And you wouldn’t really care about the outcome.

Since “Dave” essentially is about your life, is it hard for you to reveal so much about yourself so publicly?

I guess you could say it’s difficult sharing the most inner personal information on national television, but in a way, it’s actually not difficult. It’s liberating, because I feel like if I share the information, then I’m an open book.

While “Dave” ostensibly is a comedy, your semi-fictionalized alter ego in the show also deals with darker aspects as he makes his way through fame as a rapper. How much thought do you put into balancing that with the rest of the show?

Well, I don’t think I actively sit around and want to embrace the darker elements of life. I think everything is better when it’s real and it’s more specific and it’s authentic. I don’t think I make an effort to balance emotion with comedy; I just try to have a perspective on what life is like.

If you were around me all day, I would try to make you laugh the entire time – but

Some famous names have made their way onto “Dave.” For instance, what was it like to have Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on the show?

Even when he says, like, “Hey, Dave, where’s the bathroom?” ... in real life, I get goosebumps that he’s even referring to me by my name. At first, I didn’t know him. And by the end, he brought me gifts.

He is the sweetest man. The guy has just so many life experiences, and he’s done so many things in his life beyond being the leading scorer in NBA history. I’m a massive basketball fan, so there’s that, too. And I just think he’s such a legendary guy, I felt truly honored to be sharing scenes with him.

Olympics: Excellence — and scandal

Abbott: Leads US

Continued from B1

Continued from B1

Sport watered it down.

The end result: Some 335 Russian athletes will compete in Tokyo, though not wearing team uniforms and not under the Russian flag.

They officially will be competing as members of the “ROC,” or Russian Olympic Committee.

Only 10 of those athletes will be in track and field; that sport’s governing body, whose former leaders enabled some of the cheating (see below), has since taken a much harder stance on the Russia case than most.

DOPING RULES — A spotlight shined on anti-doping rules that call on athletes to submit their whereabouts so they can be subjected to testing without notice. Reigning Olympic champions Christian Coleman and Brianna McNeal and world champion Salwa Eid Naser are among those missing the Olympics after being

banned for violations of this rule. ... And only weeks before the start of the Olympics, the ban of American sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson for a positive marijuana test fueled a debate about whether that drug — not considered a performance enhancer and legal in some parts of the globe — should be forbidden anymore.

WEIGHTLIFTING

— Three of weightlifting’s longtime leaders were charged with a number of offenses for a decade’s worth of doping coverups and other crimes. The misconduct included 146 unresolved doping cases from 2009 through 2019. The international federation’s president, Tamás Aján, was ousted after a German documentary exposed the misdeeds.

Weightlifting’s status for 2024 is in jeopardy; the IOC is calling for reforms and wants to see the sport cleaned up.

DEMONSTRATIONS

— A summer of unrest and activism in the United States in 2020 forced the IOC and the USOPC to reckon with their policies on demonstrations at the Olympics. The USOPC, after months of meetings and negotiations, determined it would not sanction its athletes for violating Rule 50, which has long disallowed protests and demonstrations inside the lines. Though the IOC recently relaxed the rule to allow some forms of demonstration near the starting line, the ban on the medals podium remains, setting up what could be a conflict at the Olympics.

SPORTS NANCE —

GOVER-

The IOC stripped the International Boxing Association’s Olympic status in the wake of an investigation in which the U.S. Treasury accused the organization’s president of involvement in drug production and heroin trafficking. ...

Influential Kuwaiti IOC member Sheikh Ahmad al-Fahad al-Sabah is awaiting trial on a forgery charge linked to an alleged coup attempt. ...

The former president of track’s governing body, Lamine Diack, and other top officials were found guilty of corruption for covering up cases in the Russian doping scandal in exchange for bribes. ... Swimming’s international federation (FINA) has been under the microscope for a number of reasons, including electing a leader who was named an unindicted co-conspirator in a bribery case involving soccer’s top body. FINA also was criticized for not coming down harshly enough on Chinese Olympic champion Sun Yang, whose own doping/testing case meandered through the sports legal system for several years; Yang will miss Tokyo but be eligible for the Paris Games in 2024.

standalone, to have our own identity. And that’s our feeling.”

SEC bylaws require at least three-fourths (11) of the members to vote in favor of extending an

invitation to join.

“The college athletics landscape is shifting constantly,” Oklahoma said in a statement.

“We don’t address every anonymous rumor.”

A Texas statement was

nearly identical: “Speculation always swirls around collegiate athletics. We will not address rumors or speculation.”

Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby did not return messages from AP

seeking comment. Just last week at Big 12 media days in Arlington, Texas, he talked about how conference realignment was no longer a top concern for the Big 12.

by Brewers third baseman Luis Urías allowed Whit Merrifield to reach second to lead off the fourth. Andrew Benintendi hit an RBI double with two outs and scored on Hunter Dozier’s bloop hit.

The Brewers pulled ahead with a three-run rally in the fifth that included an RBI double from Christian Yelich.

Kansas City regained the lead for good by scoring three runs off Brent Suter (9-5) in the sixth.

The Royals had a runner at first with one out when first baseman Jace Peterson couldn’t handle a grounder from Benintendi. Dozier followed Peterson’s error by delivering a single that made it 3-all.

With the bases loaded and two outs, Lopez hit a two-run double to right that put the Royals back in front.

Soler capped the scoring by homering to left-center off Ángel Perdomo in the eighth.

Soler’s drive traveled an estimated 438 feet.

CELEBRATING BUCKS

About a dozen Brewers players had attended the Bucks’ title-clinching 105-98 victory over the Suns in the NBA Finals on Tuesday night.

The Brewers’ loss to the Royals on Tuesday ended less than two hours before the Bucks game started.

“They all had the time

of their lives,” Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. “I’m glad they all got to go. It’s great to be in that environment.

It’s great for them to see that. It’s what we’re trying to do. We hope to put ourselves in that environment someday.

They, as players, hope to someday reach that, so it’s great for them to be a part of it.”

Counsell didn’t attend Game 6 but was in the stands for the Bucks’ Game 4 triumph last week.

has a Randy Johnson-like reach that reduces her release point from the 43-foot rubber to about 37 feet from the plate. Pitching a week before her 36th birthday, she struck out nine, walked three and needed 102 pitches in the Americans’ second consecutive one-hitter.

Cat Osterman, at age 38 the Americans’ senior player, struck out nine over six innings and Abbott struck out the side in the seventh to finish Wednesday’s opening 2-0 win over Italy.

“Once you start thinking about it, it always ends up being broken up,” Abbott saidof the no-hit bid. “So as soon as it popped into my head, I was like, no — no, no, no, no, no, don’t think about it.”

Lye didn’t regret the green light.

“I felt good rounding third,” she said.

“We live to play another day.”

Munro made sure not to obstruct the runner.

“The turf makes it pretty easy,” Munro said.

U.S. coach Ken Eriksen got goosebumps.

“That was the first drill that we did in 2011 and what we do every single year on the first day of practice,” he said. “That can win gold medals.”

Groenewegen took third on the throw,

but Abbott stranded pinch-runner Janet Leung when Victoria Heyward flied out and, after an intentional walk, Kelsey Harshman struck out.

The U.S. was 1 for 8 with six strikeouts with runners in scoring position, but the 1 was enough.

McCleney popped a single into short left with one out in the fifth.

Janie Reed, whose husband, Jake, was designated for assignment by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the hours before the game, sacrificed and Chidester — who is engaged to Mexican infielder Anissa Urtez — lined a 1-2 pitch to the opposite field into right.

There was a spring training intrasquad feel, a day after many officials attended the opener. The stadium, about 40 miles from the site of a 2011 nuclear power plant disaster, was almost empty because fans were banned due to the coronavirus pandemic. There were 30 media and officials in the stands and approximately a dozen photographers on the field.

“We feel bad that the people of Fukushima were not able to tell their story, that we weren’t able to go out into the community to see the story,” Eriksen said. “It’s really devastating to the people here not to really show the world that Fukushima is back. It’s resilient. It’s a beautiful place.”
