anta Claus and his white carriage drawn by a black horse, adorned with red and green lights, traversed the streets of Iola’s city square escorted by a parade of young kazooists Wednesday evening.

Swarms of children and their families stretching the length of the block greeted Santa’s arrival to his toy shop on Madison Avenue with a gleeful rendition of “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.”

More golden Christmas lights wrapped the trees on the courthouse lawn and lined the two-story skyline of Iola’s downtown.

Once inside Santa’s Toy Shop, children who had waited in freezing temperatures — many for more than 2½ hours — sipped hot chocolate and snacked on cookies and candy canes. After sharing their Christmas wishes from Santa’s lap, children received their choice of toy from the elf manning the toy shop’s shelves.

By the end of the night, more than 500 children and adults had walked through the toy shop’s doors.

Hannah Fleming, 9, left carrying a large stuffed teddy bear.

“I like the big things,” Fleming said of why she chose her present from Santa’s Toy Shop.

She asked Santa for a baby doll that pees. She also said she hopes it snows more before Christmas so she can make snow angels.

River and Reyce DeLaTorre, 7-year-old twins, also chose stuffed animals.

River’s was a stuffed Pika-

Quote of the day Vol. 119, No. 40

A broken water line has shuttered the Pregnancy Resource Center of Southeast Kansas for the next few days, at least.

The broken line was discovered Tuesday morning as PRC staffers arrived at their offices at 1 S. Jefferson Ave. A malfunctioning heater, coupled with temperatures that dipped below zero caused the water line to freeze, then fracture in three locations.

The water line, which ran above the ceiling, caused water to cascade down walls and onto the floor.

The damage was most extensive in the PRC office, in which a bookshelf filled with educational materials was exposed to the water. Several interior walls covered with drywall also will need major repairs, as will the center’s only restroom, noted Steve French, PRC Board of Directors president.

Amputee gets suprise gift: electronic hands DERBY, Kan. (AP) — A southern Kansas woman whose hands and feet had to be amputated after she was shot during a robbery got an early Christmas gift — new electronic hands worth $260,000, courtesy of a businessman and his wife.

Julie Dombo of Derby showed off her new hands Tuesday with her husband, a day after receiving them as a present from Koch Industries’ general counsel Mark Holden and his wife, The Wichita Eagle reported.

Dombo was shot in the arm and chest during an August 2015 robbery at a Derby AT&T store. Because of medical issues that developed from the injuries while she was hospitalized doctors had to amputate portions of her arms and legs to save her life.

BERLIN (TNS) — Police conducted a series of raids across Germany on Thursday as the Europe-wide hunt for a Tunisian man wanted in connection with this week’s deadly truck attack in Berlin intensified.

Large contingents of police were involved in the operations in Berlin as well as on a refugee home in the city of Emmerich, in the western state of North Rhine Westphalia, where 24-year-old Anis Amri lived at one point following his arrival in Germany last year.

The Christmas market that Amri allegedly ploughed a truck through Monday on Berlin’s Breitscheidplatz, near the landmark Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, reopened Thursday surrounded by concrete barriers.

Amri’s fingerprints were found on the driver’s door of the Polishregistered truck, according to German public television and the daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung.

The Berliner Zeitung reported that there were traces of Amri’s fingerprints on the steering wheel.

While a federal prosecutor’s office spokesman confirmed to dpa that there were police actions under way across Germany, he didn’t provide any details as the search for Amri was also being conducted beyond the country’s borders.

TNS

Danish police said they searched a port and a ferry in northern Denmark after a tip off that Amri had been sighted there, but the search did not yield any results.

The suspect’s mother has called on him to surrender.

“If my son was the one behind the attack, I’ll disown him,” Nour al-Huda, added in an interview with Tunisian newspaper al-Chourouk.

“I talked to him days ago,” she said. “He sent

me gifts and money.”

Europe’s most wanted man, who used several aliases and faced deportation in Germany, is believed to have fled the scene of Monday’s attack, which left 48 people injured and 12 people dead.

This included the truck’s Polish driver, who was found shot in the cabin as well as 31-year-old Italian woman Fabrizia Di Lorenzo and an Israeli woman Dalia Elyakim. Some of the injured are in a life-

BEIJING (AP) — China warned today that ties with the U.S. will likely see new complications and the only way to maintain a stable relationship is by respecting each other’s “core interests.”

PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Denouncing the deadly attack on a Christmas market in Germany, Presidentelect Donald Trump renewed his vow to stop radical terror groups and appeared to suggest a willingness to move ahead with his campaign pledge to ban temporarily Muslim immigrants from coming to the United States.

Trump proposed the Muslim ban during the Republican primary campaign, drawing sharp criticism from

also mirrored Beijing’s relatively measured posture toward the incoming U.S. administration despite signs of growing wariness.

Wang told the Communist Party mouthpiece, the People’s Daily, that China will strive to boost cooperation with the U.S. but he foresaw “new, complicated and uncertain factors affecting bilateral relations” under the Trump administration.

threatening condition.

“Italy pays tribute to Fabrizia Di Lorenzo, an exemplary citizen killed by terrorists. An emotional nation shares the grief of the family,” Italian Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni said on Twitter on Thursday.

German authorities have issued a wanted poster for Amri offering a reward of up to 100,000 euros (104,000 dollars) for help in his capture and which described him as possibly being “violent and armed.”

Amri, who had been living in Berlin since February, has been on the security forces’ radar for some time.

He had been under surveillance until September this year and had been the subject of a investigation for a possible terrorism plot.

A German media report said security authorities had suggestions from surveillance material that he had once offered to members of the nation’s Islamist scene to act as a suicide bomber.

But the authorities believed the information was not sufficient to detain him.

Amri is also said to have had contacts with the network of a recently arrested preacher Abu Walaa from the western German city of Hildesheim.

North Rhine Westphalia’s Interior Minister Ralf Jaeger once described Walaa as “chief

ideologist” of the radical Salafist Islam movement in Germany.

Islamic State claimed responsibility for the Christmas market attack. The extremist group has frequently taken credit for terrorist incidents it had little or no connection to.

Amri, who was on the US no-fly list, had also researched how to build explosive devices online and communicated with Islamic State, the New York Times reported citing a US official who spoke on condition of anonymity.

His mother said that her son had wanted to return to Tunisia to settle a legal case in his homeland years after he was charged with stealing a truck.

Germany had been working to deport Amri since June but the authorities had lacked valid identity papers and Tunisia had disputed whether he was even a citizen of the country, Jaeger said.

However, the North African country did eventually agree to send replacement papers. They arrived on Wednesday, two days after the attack.

According to media reports, Amri spent four years in an Italian jail.

He came to Italy as a refugee in 2011 and was put in a reception center for minors on Sicily, the news agency Ansa reported, citing police sources.

Trump: Attack illustrates need for immigration reform both parties. During the general election, he shifted his rhetoric to focus on temporarily halting immigration from an unspecified list of countries with ties to terrorism, though he did not disavow the Muslim ban, which is still prominently displayed on his campaign website.

The president-elect, when asked Wednesday if the attack in Berlin would cause him to evaluate the proposed ban or a possible registry of Muslims in the United States, said “You know

my plans. All along, I’ve been proven to be right, 100 percent correct.”

“What’s happening is disgraceful,” said Trump, who deemed the violence “an attack on humanity, and it’s got to be stopped.”

A transition spokesman said later Wednesday that Trump’s plans “might upset those with their heads stuck in the politically correct sand.”

“President-elect Trump has been clear that we will suspend admission of those from

questioned a U.S. policy that since 1979 has recognized Beijing as China’s government and maintains only unofficial relations with Taiwan. Beijing regards the self-governing island as part of China and has long used the “core interest” formulation to signal that any move by Taiwan toward formal independence could be met with military force.

Trump’s comments on Taiwan, combined with his accusations

that China is manipulating its currency and threats of imposing hefty tariffs against Chinese imports, have rattled relations between the world’s two largest economies.

Trump’s transition team announced Wednesday that Peter Navarro, who has accused China of effectively waging economic war against the United States, would head a trade policy council inside the White House.

countries with high terrorism rates and apply a strict vetting procedure for those seeking entry in order to protect American lives,” spokesman Jason Miller said. But transition officials did not comment on whether Trump could also push for the overarching ban on Muslims.

The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for Monday’s attack in Berlin that left 12 people dead and 48 injured. On Wednesday, German officials launched a Europe-wide manhunt for a “violent and armed” Tunisian man suspected in the killings.

Former Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said during an interview with ABC this morning that Trump is “the guy out there saying we need extreme vetting policies, that we need to have a better system vis a vis countries that train, harbor and export terrorists.”

“He said during the campaign long after he originally proposed that that this would be more strictly tied to countries where we

know they have a history of terrorism and that this is not a complete ban,” she added.

Trump, who addressed reporters for less than two minutes Wednesday outside his palatial South Florida estate, said he has not spoken to President Barack Obama since the attack. Aides said that he received the classified presidential daily intelligence briefing on Wednesday and met with incoming White House national security adviser Michael Flynn.

Trump was spending the final days of 2016 huddled with advisers at Mar-a-Lago, his grand resort in Palm Beach.

He also met Wednesday with the heads of Boeing and Lockheed Martin, companies with high-dollar government contracts that Trump has criticized. Boeing has a contract to build two new Air Force One planes and Lockheed Martin builds the F-35 fighter jet.

Trump said of his meeting with Lockheed Martin CEO Marillyn Hewson, “It’s a little bit of a dance. We’re trying to get costs down.”

North Carolina lawmakers leave ‘bathroom bill’ in place RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A supposedly bipartisan deal to repeal North Carolina’s anti-LGBT law collapsed when both sides balked and started blaming each other, likely meaning the state will remain a pariah shunned by corporations, entertainers and high-profile sporting events.

After more than nine hours of backroom discussions and sporadic public effort, Republican state legislators quit trying to repeal the law called House Bill 2 and went home Wednesday night.

The law omits gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people from state anti-discrimination protections, bars local governments from passing broad non-discrimination ordinances covering them, and orders transgender people to use bathrooms and showers that align with their sex at birth.

“I’m disappointed that we have yet to remove the stain from the reputation of our great state that is around this country and around the world,” Democratic Gov.elect Roy Cooper said.

He said he and his staff worked for more than a week on forging an agreement to repeal the law, talking with lawmakers from both parties, businesses, sports

industry representatives and LGBT leaders.

GOP legislators who see themselves as business-friendly appeared shaken by a months-long backlash as major companies like BASF, IBM and Bank of America described HB2 as bad for business.

The compromise touted by both Cooper and outgoing GOP Gov. Pat McCrory called for Charlotte to do away with its ordinance. In exchange, lawmakers would undo the LGBT law.

But many conservatives never wanted to repeal the law and GOP lawmakers cried foul when Charlotte leaders initially left part of the city’s ordinance in place. When the Senate bill called for a monthslong ban on cities passing similar ordinances,

Democrats said Republicans were going back on their promise.

Senate leader Phil

“I’m sorry folks, I don’t trust them, and our folks don’t trust them. There’s no reason to trust them,”

I’m disappointed that we have yet to remove the stain from the reputation of our great state....”

— North Carolina Gov.-elect Roy Cooper

Berger, a Republican, blamed Cooper and the Democratic-controlled Charlotte City Council for sinking the repeal effort.

Berger said Charlotte officials misled lawmakers into thinking they had fully repealed their ordinance Monday.

The council met again Wednesday morning to scrap the rest of local law.

Berger said after his chamber adjourned.

Social conservatives defended the law’s transgender bathroom requirement — which has no enforcement or punishment provisions — as necessary to prevent heterosexual predators from masquerading as transgender to molest women and girls when they are vulnerable.

“We continue to en-

courage our leaders to never sacrifice the privacy, safety, or freedom of young girls by forcing them to use the bathroom, shower, or change clothes with grown men just to satisfy the demands of greedy businesses, immoral sports organizations, or angry mobs,” North Carolina Values Coalition Executive Director Tami Fitzgerald said in a statement.

The U.S. Justice Department and others contend the threat of sexual predators posing as transgender persons to enter a bathroom is practically nonexistent.

The issue of transgender bathroom use “wasn’t a problem North Carolina was facing,” said Mara Keisling, executive director of the National Center for Transgender Equality.

Legislators “should admit they messed up and repeal the bill. They seem to be still trying to figure out how to blame Charlotte, or blame Bruce Springsteen,” who canceled a Greensboro show after the law passed.

HB2 has been blasted by gay-rights groups and resulted in conventions, jobs and sporting events such as the NBA All-Star Game shunning North Carolina. Corporate critics of the law

included Deutsche Bank and Paypal, which both backed out of projects that would have brought hundreds of jobs to the state.

“The NCAA’s decision to withhold championships from North Carolina remains unchanged,” spokesman Bob Williams said.

McCrory signed the law and became its national face. HB2, along with other right-leaning bills he signed, turned this fall’s gubernatorial campaign into a referendum on the state’s recent conservative slant. He lost by about 10,000 votes to Cooper. Meanwhile, fellow Republicans U.S. Sen. Richard Burr and President-elect Donald Trump comfortably won the state.

McCrory, the first sitting North Carolina governor elected to a four-year term to lose reelection, echoed Republican accusations that “the left sabotaged bipartisan good faith agreements for political purposes.”

Repealing the state law could also have ended protracted legal challenges by the federal Justice Department and transgender residents.

Much of that litigation has been delayed while the U.S. Supreme Court hears a separate Virginia case on transgender restroom access.

Brownback sticking to his guns Child care providers weigh in TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Republican Gov. Sam Brownback said Wednesday that he’s not rethinking his support for a Kansas law that will allow concealed guns on state college campuses starting in July, despite opposition from faculty, students and administrators.

A law enacted by the GOP-controlled Legislature and signed by Brownback in 2013 expanded the rights of gun owners age 21 and older to carry concealed weapons into public buildings. It allowed state universities and community colleges to exempt themselves for four years.

Elections this year made the Legislature less conservative. After lawmakers open their annual session next month, they are expected to debate changing the concealed carry law for college campuses.

“I’m not inclined

to think about that,” Brownback told reporters after signing proclamations in his office, calling gun ownership “a constitutional right that people have.”

The 2013 law allows concealed guns in public buildings unless they have adequate security measures, such as metal detectors or security guards. Those measures are costly, so concealed guns would be allowed in nearly all campus buildings, including at sporting events.

The state Board of Regents last week adopted policies for implementing the law on university campuses. The policies spell out requirements for handling guns while on campus and their storage in dormitories, offices and vehicles.

Faculty and student organizations on university campuses generally have been strongly opposed to concealed

guns on campus, as have administrators. Earlier this month, elected representatives of faculty, staff and students at the University of Kansas adopted resolutions opposing the campus concealed carry law.

Joe Harrington, an English professor who is president of the University Senate at the school, called Brownback’s comments “disappointing.”

“Obviously, this is something that people at the local level, at the campus level, don’t want and that’s being imposed upon us by the state,” Harrington said.

Brownback is a conservative Republican who’s repeatedly backed policies favored by the National Rifle Association and other gun-rights groups, including a 2015 law that allows adults to carry concealed weapons without a state permit or mandatory training.

Give A Gift...

Get A Gift

on state’s push to add training TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A state proposal to increase the required number of training hours for Kansas child care providers could mean parents will have to pay more for child care, providers told lawmakers during a hearing Tuesday.

About 100 people attended a hearing over proposed Kansas Department of Health and Environment regulations that would raise to 16 the number of hours of annual in-service training for primary care providers, who directly supervise and interact with children. Administrators of preschools and child care centers would have to complete 24 hours of training annually, The Kansas City Star reported.

State documents show

Gift of one year

the department contends the proposed changes, which also included revisions to health and safety training for the workers, would be made to follow new federal requirements. The department said it’s working to ensure that various training opportunities are available at little or no cost.

Russ Robinson, owner of the Kids R Kids early learning center in Olathe, said the current requirements are enough and the changes would put an unreasonable economic burden on parents.

Patty Bullock, director of the Prince of Peace preschool in Topeka, said training must have substance and help families. Increasing the hours alone won’t do the job, she said.

But Amy Gottschamer, director of Googols of Learning in Lawrence, spoke in favor of the changes and said cost shouldn’t be an issue.

“If we want to be considered more than just glorified baby sitters, we must engage in education,” she said.

Amanda Gress, director of government relations for Kansas Action for Children, said her organization also supports the changes.

“Initial and ongoing training for child care providers improves Kansas children’s safety and early learning,” she said.

Wind farm would be advantage to region The evening of Jan. 29 Allen County’s planning commissioners are expected to complete a document laying out what is required of a company to locate a wind farm in the county.

Of emphasis will be a proposal by EDP Renewables to place turbines on farm ground in the northeast quadrant of the county.

The company has options to lease about 12,000 acres and is negotiating with other landowners.

EDP’s intention is to start construction no earlier than 2018. Electricity produced by its turbines will flow to lines running along the east side of the county, and become part of that distributed through the regional grid.

To date, according to County Counselor Alan Weber, opposition has been meager. Five people have asked questions at previous planning sessions that could cast them as lukewarm at best. Only two have been contentious, he told county commissioners Tuesday.

The greatest concerns have been that the turbines could be hazardous to birds and disrupt other wildlife; are unsightly because atop each windmill will be a pulsating clearance light; and some see them as disturbing an otherwise pristine countryside.

A part of the enabling document will require a construction company erecting the turbines to repair any damage to roads or bridges. Setback requirements will keep turbines away from property lines.

And with so many acres leased, the generators will not saturate any one section of land. EDP has assured it will pay property taxes on turbines as well as land set aside for their operation.

In Anderson County a different company has advanced plans for a wind farm, and has been met with organized opposition.

A test tower in Anderson County was destroyed by vandals, an expensive outcome that apparently has given the company second thoughts.

Test towers are operating in Allen County, put up by EDP. Results have shown

wind currents are sufficient for generation.

COMMISSIONERS are eager for economic development in the county. It is a watchword here and throughout southeast Kansas, which has been beset with economic woes for years. Some of the poorest areas in the eastern half of the state are found hereabouts.

To discourage a wind farm would be foolhardy.

Until now, Kansas provided lifetime property tax abatements for wind farms.

That changed. Now the abatement is for 10 years.

Payments in lieu of taxes are expected until wind farms go onto tax rolls.

Coffey County received a $495,500 payment in lieu of taxes for the first year of a wind farm’s operation near Waverly. A similar payment to Allen County will be negotiated. With foreknowledge of the Coffey County’s payment, commissioners will be well-armed.

During the construction phase of about a year, 250 to 350 workers will be involved — living here and patronizing stores and restaurants and buying fuel, much as did those who built the Enbridge pipeline and pumping station near Humboldt.

For the life of the wind farm, about 15 full-time employees will be hired for maintenance and repair requirements.

TIMES CHANGE and we must adjust to technological advances. We can’t go back to the dark ages; who would want to.

Renewable power promises to have more of a presence in the years ahead, even if president-elect Donald Trump follows through with his promise to revive the coal industry. Climate change to the negative, caused in some measure by pollutants from fossil fuels, is a fact that scientists — save perhaps a few who tinker as alchemists — agree is occurring and will continue to be a concern. (A look at China’s smog problems this week is instructive.)

Some aspects of a wind farm may have a downside, but their positives trump it several times over.

Christmas magic grows with time

By REX HUPPKE The Chicago Tribune

Christmas, when you’re young, is the morning, the race down the stairs to the tree, the brief, stunned pause when eyes — overwhelmed by blood-pumping excitement — can’t quite process the presents and fattened stockings.

It’s unwrapping and unboxing and unfolding, putting batteries in and squeezing dolls and hardly believing that what you asked for — written in a letter to the North Pole or whispered in the ear of a bearded elf at the mall — materialized.

Christmas arrives, it departs, the days reset and the countdown begins again.

I remember thinking how dreadful it must be for adults to have lost all the fun of toys and tearing open gifts — how could they possibly take their time unwrapping something?

— and having a day of play that ended in exhaustion and wonder.

Then I grew up and Christmas changed and I became the adult with kids who look at him and say, “What do you mean we should take our time and enjoy it? That’s ridiculous.”

But what I learned — and what I won’t tell my kids, because I don’t want them to think anything could be better than Christmas morning — is that, as the years pass, Christmas expands and gets better.

It stops being a singular event. It stops being just the morning and the heart-flut-

tering excitement that follows. It becomes a series of moments before, during and after Dec. 25 that make you stop and think: “That — that right there — is Christmas.”

There’s the moment in church when you’re kneeling before something far bigger than yourself and the priest shakes you from your busyness and material motivations and reminds you what the season is really about. And you feel good, like a weight has been lifted, if only temporarily.

That’s Christmas.

And the moment when you hear a holiday song you forgot existed and it takes you right back to when you were a kid and heard it for the first time and couldn’t get it out of your head.

That’s Christmas.

You write a column — because you’re an adult now and have a job — and tell people about a charity that needs help. And the next day you find that people helped — a lot — and you get pictures emailed to you of people volunteering at the charity and you believe, without a doubt, there’s good in the world.

That’s Christmas.

You look out the front window into the cold and snow and see that a neighbor has shoveled your walk, and you get to stay inside and be warm.

The moment when you slow the car down and take in a house lit up with colorful Christmas lights and wacky inflatable creatures that, had you seen them when you were

a kid, would’ve made your head explode with excitement. And you smile, like the kid version of you would have done.

That’s Christmas.

The moment during a holiday piano recital when a child struggles to find the next note and the parents endure the long seconds until the right key is hit and everyone smiles because we’ve all been there, in one way or another.

That’s Christmas.

Cookies. Lots and lots of cookies.

That’s definitely Christmas.

I feel lucky now. Little me never would’ve seen that coming, but it’s true.

It’s no longer about presents, though I enjoy those and encourage you all to send me some. It’s not about a morning of joy or any one moment.

It’s about all the moments.

Any moment, really, when I can step back from the bustle of life and feel the warmth of a fond memory, or appreciate a new experience, or bear witness to goodwill, or even catch the reflection of the Christmas tree lights in the window and feel, in every way, home.

That’s all Christmas. You just need to keep your eyes open.

So for everyone kind enough to read these words, those who celebrate Christmas and those who don’t, I wish you one thing: open eyes.

There’s plenty of wonder out there. And you don’t have to be a kid to find that exciting.

Merry Christmas.

Even with Trump, Kansas needs to be on the right side of Medicaid As state legislators prepare for the 2017 session, they should place Medicaid expansion near the top of their agenda.

Legislators have for too long put politics above the health of our state’s residents, the well-being of our communities, the security of our health care institutions and the protection and creation of jobs.

It is our hope that things will change in 2017 with the swearing in of a new Legislature.

For those not familiar with the issue, here is a recap: As part of the Affordable Care Act, health care providers agreed to accept cuts in certain reimbursement rates for their services with the understanding that the federal

government would provide states with money to expand Medicaid, known as KanCare in Kansas.

The end result would be an increase in the number of patients with insurance, which would be a financial gain for health care providers.

It is estimated by the Alliance for a Healthy Kansas that the expansion would cover more than 150,000 working poor in Kansas who fall into the so-called health insurance gap — they make too much money to qualify for Medicaid under current guidelines but cannot afford insurance on the open market or through their employers.

Problems began, however, when the Supreme Court ruled that the federal government could not require states

to expand Medicaid. A number of states, including Kansas, refused to accept billions in federal money to expand Medicaid.

To date, Kansas has missed out on more than $1.4 billion in federal funding for expanded Medicaid, according to the Alliance for a Healthy Kansas. That money has not been saved. It has gone to other states or been swallowed up by the federal government.

Medicaid expansion is first and foremost about providing access to affordable health care to the working poor. But it is also about jobs, economic development and the viability of health care providers.

Representatives of Via Christi Health said in a recent meeting with The Eagle’s editorial board that Via Christi

is down about 650 full-time positions statewide, due, in part, to the failure of our Legislature to expand Medicaid.

The lack of Medicaid expansion has hurt rural hospitals the most. Many are at risk of closure, and some have not survived. Mercy Hospital in Independence closed last fall, leaving residents there to rely on a hospital 40 miles away in Oklahoma, according to an article in the Kansas City Star.

Communities that have lost a hospital have also lost jobs and a key ingredient for economic development. Companies looking to expand or build new plants want their employees to have access to quality health care in close proximity to where they live.

The expansion of Medicaid

itself would create jobs in the health care industry — more than 3,800 new jobs in Kansas, according to the Alliance for a Healthy Kansas.

We recognize that uncertainty exists about the future of the Affordable Care Act. But that does not excuse a failure to act. If changes to the act occur, Kansas will be in a stronger position if it is standing on the side of Medicaid expansion.

The easiest thing for the Legislature to do would be to ignore Medicaid expansion.

But members of the Legislature were not elected to make easy choices. They were elected to do what is right for Kansas.

In this case, that means expanding Medicaid.

French also is a local contractor who will oversee the repairs.

Problem is, the repairs cannot begin for the next few days, until crews are certain the excess water has been removed.

“We can’t ask any staffers to work here without a functioning restroom,” French said.

A number of volunteers have been on hand since Tuesday to help remove the damaged drywall sections, pull the waterlogged insulation, sort through damaged materials to see what can be salvaged and assist with general cleanup.

THE PRC also offers

up family support services and a maternity boutique, free pregnancy testing and prenatal support, as well as provides adoption resources.

“But it’s more than just a handout,” French noted.

Parents obtain diapers, bottles, formula, clothes and anything

they else they need by working to earn “mommy/daddy bucks” to spend at the PRC. Those bucks are earned through a variety of means, such as completing parenting classes.

“It truly is ‘learn to earn,’” French said.

WHILE the building is insured, French is uncertain whether the coverage is sufficient to pay

for the building’s contents, particularly the educational materials.

As a non-profit organization, “we operate on a shoestring budget as it is, and we also have a deductible we’ll have to account for,” he said.

French is seeking help from the community through a variety of means.

“If there’s a contractor who has some extra

Sheetrock or mud or screws, anything like that, I’m sure we could use it,” he said.

Other needed supplies include insulation, ceiling materials or cleaning supplies.

In addition, French is asking for volunteers to assist with the repair work, which likely will start shortly after Christmas.

Dombo met Holden in October at a Wichita Crime Commission awards banquet, where she told Holden insurance wouldn’t pay for the electronic hands she said would give her a chance at a relatively ordinary life, The Wichita Eagle reported.

The hands allow her to grip objects, to work an iPhone and to put on her prosthetic legs.

Without the hands, Dombo’s husband, John, has to be with her most of the time to help her.

Dombo has been working out with the hands once a week since May at Peeple’s Prosthetics so that if the money ever came through, she’d know how to use the hands, which retail for about $260,000.

“I’ll do what I can,” Holden told her that night at the banquet.

Julie Dombo of Derby, whose hands and legs were amputated due to complications from being shot in a robbery attempt, recently was outfitted with electronic hands. COURTESY PHOTO VIA GOFUNDME.COM Holden traveled back to Washington, D.C., told his wife and son about Dombo and contacted someone who knew U.S. Rep. Mike Pompeo of Wichita.

Holden wanted to see if Pompeo could talk with the insurance company.

But when Holden attended Phillips’ sentencing hearing he learned that Blue Cross hadn’t changed its decision.

“I promise you I will get your sister the

arms,” Holden told Dombo’s sister Linda.

“We’re going to get them.”

Holden later told Dombo his wife wanted to meet her. So the Dombos invited the Holdens over for lunch Monday when Mark Holden arrived carrying two big boxes with the prosthetic hands he and his wife bought for her.

Some families also received boxes of food — complete with bread, milk, eggs, vegetables, sweet potatoes, desserts and certificates for hams and turkeys — and hats and gloves from Humanity House.

Ben Allen’s family of five received one of the food boxes.

Humanity House bought the food using funds from the REACH Healthcare Foundation and community donations through what Georgia Masterson, president of the board of Humanity House, called a “good

Trump taps Conway as counselor

WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump has named close adviser Kellyanne Conway as his White House counselor, elevating the woman who led his campaign to victory to a senior West Wing position.

Conway, who took over as campaign manager in the summer, has been one of Trump’s most visible advisers, making frequent television appearances on his behalf. She has a strong rapport with the president-elect and was seen as a positive influence on his often chaotic cam-

paign.

“She is a tireless and tenacious advocate of my agenda and has amazing insights on how to effectively communicate our message,” Trump said in a statement today announcing the position.

In tapping Conway for the senior White House role, Trump is creating another power center in the West Wing. He’s already named outgoing Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus as his chief of staff and conservative media execu-

tive Steve Bannon as a senior adviser. Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner will also be an influential adviser, though his exact role is still to be determined.

Internal rivalries have long been a hallmark of Trump’s businesses and campaign as well as his transition team. Conway and Priebus have been at odds over some major decisions, including who should serve as Trump’s secretary of state. He ultimately chose Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson.

Conway irritated some Trump aides with her outspoken opposition to the prospect of the president-elect picking Mitt Romney, the 2012 Republican nominee, to head the State Department. She panned the idea in public, though she said she had also made her feelings known to Trump privately.

Punt, Pass and Kick:

Column:

New Year’s Resolution: Cheer positively

By JON DYKSTRA The Iola Register

Seven-year-old Iolan Zoie Hesse holds her trophy ball for winning her division of the Chiefs’ NFL Play 60 Punt, Pass and Kick competition on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium.

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Hesse’s trip to Arrowhead ends with win KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Zoie Hesse had her back to Travis Kelce as the Chiefs’ tight end walked down the line of NFL Punt, Pass and Kick participants and the two athletes missed out on exchanging a high-five like Kelce did with many of the other competitors.

That was unfortunate for Kelce, because the seven-yearold from Iola was able to do something that Kelce and his teammates couldn’t — she picked up a victory on Sunday despite the extreme cold in Arrowhead Stadium.

“It was cold,” Hesse said with a laugh.

After advancing out of the Iola competition on Sept. 7, then advancing through the other local winners at Council Grove on Oct. 23, Hesse got to take on the other regional winners from Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa.

The competition is judged by how far each competitor can throw, punt and kick the ball and distance is subtracted based on how far the ball lands from the target line that each participant is aiming down.

Zoie is the daughter of Brad Hesse and Brian and Alisha Rutherford. Her step-father Brian helped her train for the event and he says the element she had the most difficulty with was accuracy on her kicks.

Hesse overcame that though and won the girls’ six and seven year-old division with a total distance of 89 feet and nine inches.

Hesse has the chance to advance and compete at the Super Bowl on Feb. 5. She is now one of the 32 champions from each NFL team and the top-four distances from each division across the country will be invited to compete in Houston.

Seven-year-old Zoie Hesse gives one of the officials at the NFL Play 60 Punt, Pass and Kick competition a highfive after she completed her victory on Oct. 23 in Council Grove. SUBMITTED PHOTO

It is very simple: When you are at a high school sporting event, treat those around you with respect.

That extends to officials and coaches as well.

I was covering a game on Tuesday and during a timeout, one of the officials was standing near the baseline where I was taking photos.

Throughout both games,

I had taken notice of how obnoxious the home crowd was being toward the officials even as they were on their way to a 19-point victory, so in order to start a conversation with the official I remarked how the crowd was especially displeased with the officiating on this night.

He turned to me and rolled his eyes, before welcoming me to the town.

After that I began listening closer to the fans and I found

that most of what they were yelling at the officials didn’t even make sense.

An example of this is probably the most commonly complained about call in basketball — the over-the-back foul.

“Over-the-back” is not even a foul in basketball — a player can jump and reach over the top of an opposing player all they want. It is only a foul if the player makes contact with the other player. If contact is made, the correct call is “dis-

placement.” Yet this made-up call is screamed for in gymnasiums across the country.

The bottom line is no matter how much you think you know from the stands, the officials and coaches almost certainly know more and it helps no one for a town to gain a poor reputation with officials.

We all are tempted to complain sometimes, but let the coaches do it. Don’t let your community be known as a bad place for officials to work.

DORSEY’S WAY Dorsey’s trio of draft picks make Pro Bowl

By DAVE SKRETTA The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — When he was hired four years ago, Chiefs general manager John Dorsey not only inherited a two-win team with very little depth, but also one that was aging right before his eyes.

He’s already done a lot to rectify that problem.

Sure, his first draft in 2013 was largely a bust outside of No. 1 overall

pick Eric Fisher and tight end Travis Kelce, but the three subsequent drafts have reshaped the Kansas City roster.

Dorsey has made 24 selections and all but four of those players have contributed to a 10-4 record with the goal of clinching a playoff berth Sunday night against Denver.

Perhaps most gratifying? Three of those remaining 20 players were chosen to the Pro Bowl this week, includSee CHIEFS | Page B6

College Basketball: Kansas State 67, Gardner-Webb 54

Big first half propels Wildcats to win

By ANDREW HAMMOND The Associated Press

MANHATTAN, Kansas (AP) — Kansas State point guard Kamau Stokes limped off the floor early in the first half with an injury to the same knee he had hurt a year ago. Coach Bruce Weber had worried that he might’ve had another serious injury for the second-straight season.

This time though, Stokes returned to the game and helped spark the Wildcats to victory.

Stokes scored a seasonhigh 18 points and Kansas State used a 19-1 run late in the first-half to defeat Gardner-Webb 67-54 on Wednesday night.

“We just had to pick up

our defense,” Stokes said.

“Coach got on us about that.

We were playing lazy. Teams do that sometimes and we’ve got to stop that whenever it happens.”

While Kansas State (11-1) was 5 of 7 from the field during that late first-half stretch, Gardner-Webb (76) struggled from the field as they missed all 11 shot attempts in the final 7:02 of the first half.

Stokes and DJ Johnson were the only Wildcats to score in double figures on the night.

Johnson scored 16 points and was a perfect 8 for 8 from the field in the victory.

This was the final game for the Wildcats before they ven-

ture into Big 12 conference play.

“I feel like we are prepared,” Stokes said. We are ready to go into conference play. We missed out on a lot of close games that we should’ve pulled out.”

Gardner-Webb scored the first eight points of the second half but once again struggled as they shot 10 for 25 from the field.

Jamaal Robateau scored 17 points and Tyrell Nelson 14 to lead the Runnin’ Bulldogs.

BIG PICTURE Kansas State wraps up their non-conference slate with a 7-0 record at home.

STAT OF THE NIGHT Kansas State’s DJ Johnson was the first Wildcat to be a perfect 8-8 from the field since Luis

Colon shot 9 for 9 in a 2009 game against Southern Mississippi.

HE SAID IT DJ Johnson on Kamau Stokes: “This is my buddy. He passes me the ball and I screen for him. I make sure he does not get his head knocked off on screens. We are best friends on the court. He’s going to help us in conference play.

We were missing a true point for last year. Carlbe (Ervin) stepped up, but he did not play that position in practice. We have a true point guard going into conference play.”

UP NEXT Kansas State: Kansas State will host Texas in the first game of Big 12 Conference play on December 30.

Economy grows at 3.5%

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER AP Economics Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. economy grew at a 3.5 percent annual rate in the July-September quarter, the fastest pace in two years and more than the government had previously estimated. But the growth spurt isn’t expected to last.

The gain in the gross domestic product, the economy’s total output of goods and services, came from added strength in consumer spending, business investment and the government sector, the Commerce Department said today. The government had previously estimated last quarter’s annual growth rate at 3.2 percent.

Michael Gapen of Barclays said that the new report “paints a picture of a healthy consumer, likely fueled by ongoing gains in employment, modest increases in wages, and solid balance sheets.”

The economy’s acceleration last quarter marked a sharp pickup from the tepid annual growth of 0.8 percent in the first quarter and 1.4 percent in the second.

Still, growth is expected to slow to a roughly 1.5 percent annual rate in the October-December quarter, reflecting in part less consumer spending and less business stockpiling.

Growth for the entire year, economists say, is likely to be around 1.5 percent. That would be down from 2.6 percent in 2015 and would be the weakest performance since the economy shrank 2.8 percent in 2009 at the depths of the worst economic downturn since the 1930s. The recovery began in mid-2009, but growth has averaged just over 2 percent, the weakest expansion in the postWorld War II period.

President-elect Donald Trump had criticized the sluggish pace of growth during the campaign and said his economic policies would accelerate an-

nual GDP growth to 4 percent or better. To do that, Trump said he would eliminate many government regulations, boost spending on the nation’s aging infrastructure and slash taxes.

Most economists don’t think 4 percent growth is realistic, given a chronic slowdown in worker productivity and a slowergrowing U.S. workforce due in part to retiring baby boomers.

Most forecasters expect growth of around 2.5 percent next year, though they say those estimates could rise if Trump wins congressional support for much of his economic program. Stock markets have risen sharply since Trump’s election, partly a reflection of optimism that his proposals would boost growth and corporate profits.

Today’s report was the government’s third and final estimate of GDP growth for the JulySeptember quarter. The upward revision mainly reflected stronger consumer spending, which grew at a 3 percent annual rate, more than the 2.8 percent pace that was estimated a month ago.

Consumer spending is closely watched because it accounts for about 70 percent of economic activity.

The government also revised up its estimate for business investment: It showed an increase at a 1.4 percent annual rate, up from a much smaller 0.1 percent rate in the previous estimate.

Government spending was also revised up to show growth at a 0.8 percent annual rate, an increase that reflected a smaller drag from cutbacks at the state and local level.

The Federal Reserve last week boosted a key interest rate by a quarterpoint, just the second increase in the past decade.

Fed officials say they think they can begin to gradually interest rates as they near their goals for full employment, and inflation increases by about 2 percent a year.

The Iola Register

I’m generally in a reflective place (as a year ends), but Miami is one of my favorite places to bring in the new year.

I’d probably be there anyway, so why not celebrate with the world?

Are you happy about sharing the hosting duties with Pitbull and Snoop Dogg?

You can’t pick two better people to have a good time with. I mean, Snoop is a fun time every time. Every time I see him, it’s like seeing one of my cousins.

We never know what we’re going to get into. We’ve been close since the beginnings of our careers.

It varies. Some years, I just sit at home and watch the ball drop on television.

Other times, I’ve been at clubs celebrating and popping open bottles of champagne. And sometimes, I’ve been in church on New Year’s Eve, then we go celebrate afterward.

And Pitbull is just, like, the best. He’s a trip, and it’s going to be fun to have that Miami flavor. That’s his town, and we’re going to be guests there that night, so I’m going to have to follow his lead a little bit.

Probably three of the last four years, though, I’ve been in Miami. It’s just one of those places I like to be. You can relax on the beach the next day, or even sit out on the beach that night.

And if you want to get to something fun, it’s right where you want it to be.

Without pain, surgery doesn’t seem so urgent Dear Dr. Roach: I am 66 and am generally healthy, with a pacemaker. I started to feel a small, very mild pain in my right side, under my ribs.

My doctor checked my liver, and it was normal, with diffusely increased echogenicity (diffuse hepatic steatosis). Then I was sent to imaging, where they checked my gallbladder. My gallbladder functioned only 18 to 30 percent. It was recommended that I remove my gallbladder. That was two months ago, and since then I hardly feel a pain, just sometimes a very small one. My question: Do I still have to remove the gallbladder if it isn’t bothering me too much?­ — P.K. Answer: It sounds like you are describing functional gallbladder disorder, a condition of recurrent abdominal pain, similar to the pain that comes from gallstones, but without gallstones

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health being seen on an ultrasound.

The diagnosis is made more likely by a HIDA scan, a nuclear-medicine study where the ability of the gallbladder to squeeze is measured after stimulating it with a hormone called CCK (I bet that’s what you had to get the gallbladder function number). Your result suggests that you have functional gallbladder disorder.

However, other conditions, especially stomach ulcers, reflux disease and heart disease, can have very similar symptoms and should be excluded before considering this diagnosis. The HIDA scan is not definitive.

The most effective treatment for functional gallbladder disorder is re-

moval of the gallbladder; surgery makes the pain go away completely in the vast majority of people.

When considering any surgery, one always has to weigh the risks against the benefits. Gallbladder surgery is relatively simple and safe, but if you are hardly ever having pain, I can understand your reluctance. It all depends on how frequent and severe your symptoms are and whether there is an alternative explanation. I think it’s worth discussing with a surgeon.

Dear Dr. Roach: I had a chest X-ray, which showed I have an enlarged right hilum. The doctor never explained what that means. I have had cancer two different times, so I worry about it.

Could you explain a little more? — D.B. Answer: The hilum of the lung is where the blood vessels (artery and veins) and the airway en-

ter the lung. Lymphatic vessels and nodes also are prominent in the lung hila. Enlargement of the hilum generally means there is an enlarged structure in the area. The pulmonary artery may be enlarged in pulmonary hypertension, while the pulmonary veins are enlarged in someone with congestive heart failure or valvular disease. However, in someone with a history of cancer, there is always the concern about enlarged lymph nodes.

This does not mean cancer is present, as lymph nodes can become enlarged in infectious or inflammatory processes.

Often, the key is whether the hilum is continuing to enlarge. Size stability is reassuring. A CT scan usually is the best test for identifying what structure is causing the hilum to appear enlarged. Occasionally, a CT scan shows that there are no abnormalities, even if the chest X-ray suggests it.

Tensions about more than boyfriend moving in Dear Carolyn: A couple of months ago my boyfriend moved into my apartment for a number of reasons, and financially it is so much better. We have been dating for three years now.

My parents are very strict Christians and I was dreading telling them about it. Our pastor found out and went behind my back and told them. This of course only made matters worse, as they did not hear it from me.

They are now upset with me and have told me that I have three options: I can have him move out, I can continue “living in sin” and be put under church discipline, or I can continue living with him and leave the church.

I don’t want to leave the church as I have grown up there, but this isn’t the first time the pastor has disrespected me as an adult and I have thought about leaving the church in the past.

I also know that continuing to live with my

Tell Me About It Carolyn Hax

boyfriend will hurt my parents, and I don’t want them to have such a negative view of him. We plan on getting married and I want my parents to like him and support us.

However, I do not plan on having him move out.

Is there anything I can do or say to make this situation better? Does my boyfriend need to speak with them? Do I leave the church or attempt to make it work?

— Boyfriend vs. Parents Answer: The best thing you can do is figure out what you actually want.

Wanting to have your cake and eat it too and not have to pay for it is not the same thing as knowing what you want.

Wanting it all is a child’s set of priorities.

If you are going to

make the choices of an adult, like living with a partner, then you also have to accept the fact of consequences. If you want to live with your boyfriend outside of the bounds of marriage, then you have to accept that your parents and pastor will reject your choice. If you want to please your parents and stay in your church, then you have to accept this means no shacking up.

If you want to make decisions on your living arrangements based on financial advantage, then you have to accept that believers in moral and spiritual foundations will not be impressed by your choice.

Right now you don’t sound as if you really know who you are.

You’re just a collection of things you wish would happen or people you wish you could please — and so your actions aren’t coherent or aligned with any unifying principle. You’ve even framed this as “Boyfriend vs. Parents,”

as if you don’t even exist.

Please start to identify and own who you are by determining your priorities: your finances? living arrangements? church tenets? church familiarity? parental approval? control of your own life? List them, for real, on paper, and number them. Then revisit your decisions through the lens of those priorities.

Chiefs: Dorseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong drafts are paying dividends for Chiefs Continued from B1

ing Kelce, who has emerged as one of the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top tight ends.

Marcus Peters, the Chiefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first-round pick a year ago, was selected for the second straight year, and fifth-round pick Tyreek Hill was chosen to the Pro Bowl as a rookie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look,â&#x20AC;? Chiefs coach Andy Reid said, explaining the way the team has been built, â&#x20AC;&#x153;you try to accumulate as many good players as you can that fit into what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing, and handle themselves the right way, and then you roll.â&#x20AC;?

That sounds simple, but circumstances in Kansas City have actually made it quite difficult.

The first draft class was thrown together in a matter of weeks after Dorsey, Reid and the rest of their staffs came on board.

The Chiefs also traded two second-round picks to acquire quarterback Alex Smith from San Francisco, and then traded their first-round pick this past year to accumulate more selections, which they have in turn used to remake more of their roster.

Throw in the two draft picks that Dorsey was docked for tampering with his pursuit of then-free agent wide receiver Jeremy Maclin, and building through the draft has been a chore.

But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one that has paid significant dividends.

Peters had five interceptions early in the season, and has been so productive when it comes to forcing turnovers that few quarterbacks choose to test him anymore.

Hill already has 10 touchdowns, two shy of the franchise rookie record, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come on the ground, through the air and on kickoff and punt returns Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kelce, who has 73 receptions to lead all NFL tight ends this season, and who needs 43 yards in the final two games to eclipse 1,000 for the first time in his career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I mean, I was there last year,â&#x20AC;? Kelce said of the Pro Bowl,â&#x20AC;? so I kind of had the expectation of reaching that accomplishment again, knowing we had the same core group of guys on offense.

If you have guys around you playing amazing, you get the accolades off that.â&#x20AC;?

In many cases, the Chiefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; crop of young talent was acquired simply because Dorsey and Reid were willing to gamble on prospects with character questions when other teams were not.

Kelce was suspended for a season in college after failing a drug test.

Peters was kicked off his team at Washington after getting into a run-in with

coach Chris Petersen.

And Hill was booted out of Oklahoma State after pleading guilty to striking his pregnant girlfriend.

None of them have had any off-the-field issues since theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve arrived in Kansas City. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It definitely means a lot,â&#x20AC;? Hill said of the Pro Bowl recognition,â&#x20AC;? but without my teammates, without my coaches, without this organiza-

hits appear to outweigh the misses.

tion motivating me each and every day, giving me a chance, this wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be possible. I have to thank everyone for giving me this chance.â&#x20AC;?

Now, there have been plenty of missteps in the draft, whether it was third-round pick KeiVarae Russell getting cut early this season or the five picks from 2013 no longer on the roster.

But at least so far, the

Notes: OLB Justin Houston did not practice Wednesday because of swelling in his surgically repaired left knee, though Reid did not sound concerned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very common,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really just part of the recovery.â&#x20AC;? ... CB Phillip Gaines (knee) also did not practice.
