Three Labette County residents killedin two accidents

Three Labette County resi-dents died in separate acci-dents Monday.

Beverly Kimrey, 75, Edna, was killed in a two-vehicle accident on a gravel road south of Edna.

Briar A. Palmer, 20, and Kandy K. Palmer, 40, both of Mound Valley, were killed in a two-vehicle accident on U.S. 400 near Fredonia.

The first accident occurred at 11:16 a.m. Monday on 2000 Road about a half of a mile east of Jackson Road. Accord-ing to the Kansas Highway Patrol, Kimrey was driving a 1995 Chevrolet pickup east-bound on 2000 Road over a hill on the gravel road and a 2000 Freightliner semi-tractor driven by Michael J. Zwahlen, 55, Oswego, was westbound on the same road, going up

On Tuesday, it was reported from Bernama, the Malaysian National News Agency, about the opening of the Martin and Osa Johnson North Borneo Safari exclusive gallery exhi-bition at the Muzium Warisan Sandakan. Sandakan is the sec-ond-largest city in Sabah, East Malaysia, on the northeastern coast of Borneo.

This exhibition about the Johnsons’ two Bor-nean expeditions was designed by Sabah Museum curator Stel-la Moo and Jacque Borgeson, director of the Martin and Osa Johnson Safari Museum during the first “sister museum” exchange in 2004.

“We were able to put the finishing touches together this August when I was back in Sabah for the Spirit of Borneo book launch, since gener-ous funding had just been awarded to our project by the Malay-sian government,” Borgeson said.

The Sandakan Heritage Museum is housed inside Wisma Warisan, which was a British government building during colo-nial times.

“Martin and Osa would likely have filed for travel per-mits and their other

official government red tape paperwork there before head-ing off to explore the mighty Kinabatangan River,” Borgeson said. “Today Wisma Warisan is home to Sandakan’s Tourist Information Centre, so this exhi-bition will hopefully be toured and enjoyed by thousands of locals residents and visitors from all over the world.”

Part of the article from the Malaysian National News Agency read:

“The gallery is displaying various documentation on the tour done by the husband and wife travelers, Martin and Osa, from the United States of Amer-ica to North Borneo in 1921 and 1935, in Sandakan and Sungai Kinabatangan.

When opening the gallery, Sabah assistant minister of Tour-ism, Culture and Environment Datuk Ellron Angin said the would help to generate income for people in the district.

“Tourism operators need to make the exclusive exhibition

as one of the new tourist pack-ages for visits into the district,” he said.

Ellron said the people in the district were encouraged to visit the gallery as it would be able to generate knowledge, education and make them aware of the historical legacy, culture and the natural environment in the state. The travel by Martin and Osa Johnson had uncovered various unique secrets of the nature and culture in the district, the Sun-gai Kinabatangan and Ulu Sun-gai Kinabatangan such as the

discovery of the Orang Utan, the river and Southeast Murut communities.”

On Saturday, March 12, Mar-tin and Osa Johnson Safari Museum will sponsor a lun-cheon presentation by muse-um curator Jacque Borgeson, who will highlight her work in Borneo (Sabah, Malaysia) on the Hollywood-style release of “Spirit of Borneo.” Luncheon reservations are due by March 8. The cost per person is $20. Please call the museum at 431-2730.

The transportation theme that highlights some of the history of Chanute was key in gaining recog-nition and an award for Chanute’s Maring Aquatic Center.

The pool earned the Silver Award for innovative swimming pool designs and construction tech-niques in the Commercial-City or Municipal facilities category by the Aquatech Society of Pool Building Professionals.

The Maring Aquatic center fea-tures a lazy river, competitive sized pool, a water slide, and various spray water features. The facilities were designed and built by West-port Pools. As a member of the Aquatech Society, Westport Pools submitted the Maring Aquatic Cen-ter for the award. Being recognized with the Silver Award is one of the highest honors a pool company can receive.

“The award for Chanute was decided by pool professionals from across the country. A peer award

if you will,” said Dave White, vice president for business devel-opment at Westport Pools. “It’s not an award that the public had any input on, but rather a select group of aquatic professionals thought it was worthy enough to be awarded a Silver. There were only two sil-vers in awarded in our category, the other one was built by a firm in Texas.”

A panel of industry judges was asked to evaluate each company on creativity in design, safety in work-manship, construction innovation and overall aesthetics, according to Thomas C. Brown, vice president, of the Aquatech Society.

“We were really thrilled that Westport, who builds pools all over the country, thought enough of the Maring Aquatic Center to enter it into this contest to begin with,’ said City Manager J.D. Lester. “But for them to win an award which is chosen by their own peers is really fantastic. Chanute should be proud of the facility.”

TOPEKA ( ) — Kansas leg-islators struggled Wednesday to resolve how to satisfy the federal government’s demands that the state boost spending on special education programs in

public schools without under-cutting Gov. Sam Brownback’s effort to trim the current state budget.

House and Senate budget negotiators resumed talks on

a bill sought by Brownback to revise the current budget. The negotiations stalled last week, and the key disagreement was about special education fund-ing.

State officials said the U.S. Department of Education has warned Kansas that federal law requires the state to increase its special education funding by more than $26 million. Oth-

erwise, the state faces the loss of the same amount of fed-eral funds every year going for-ward.

Senators voted to add money to the current budget to cover the cost, but that action went against Brownback’s efforts to reduce overall spending. The House had sided with Brown-back.

The negotiators were review-ing rival proposals Wednesday. One plan from senators would delay a scheduled quarterly pay-ment by the state to the pension fund for teachers and govern-ment workers, temporarily free-ing up funds to cover the special education costs. The other, from the House, would cover the same costs by diverting funds from the state’s base aid for its 289 school districts.

Brownback has endorsed the House plan but hasn’t taken a stance on the Senate proposal. House members weren’t saying much about the rival proposal.

“I want a bill that can pass the House and Senate,” Landon Fulmer, Brownback’s policy director, said as he went into a meeting with the House nego-tiators at midday.

Brownback wants to cut $38 million in spending from the current budget, leaving cash reserves of about $35 million when the new fiscal year begins July 1. Both the savings and the reserves would roll over, helping reduce a $492 million shortfall projected for the next fiscal year.

The House’s version of the budget bill met the goal. The Senate’s version would have left cash reserves of less than $3 million, compared with the $5.76 billion in spending financed by state tax dollars.

But a majority of senators considered it irresponsible to risk a loss of federal special education dollars.

“What we’re trying to do is make sure we don’t lose federal special education money in per-

petuity,” said Senate Ways and Means Committee Chairwoman Carolyn McGinn, a Sedgwick Republican.

The special education prob-lem concerns the state’s use of federal economic stimulus dol-lars to help support special edu-cation programs over the past two years. Federal law allowed it but required the state to main-tain a minimum level of fund-ing, based on a complicated formula. Federal officials have now concluded the state didn’t comply.

Last week, Brownback’s budget director, Steve Ander-son, said the cost of complying could be as high as $61 million, but the governor’s office and state Department of Education were confident Tuesday in the $26 million figure.

The House plan was out-lined in talks Tuesday by House Appropriations Committee Chairman Marc Rhoades, a Newton Republican.

It would cover the cost by the end of June by diverting money from the state’s contributions to pensions for teachers and gov-ernment workers. Then, as soon as the fiscal year begins July 1, the same amount would be diverted into the pension system from school districts’ base aid.

The result is that base aid would drop $40 per student, in addition to a cut of $232 per student that Brownback already has proposed because of the state’s financial problems. With the latest plan and his previous budget recommendations, the base aid figure would decline from $4,012 to $3,740, a drop of almost 7 percent.

Senators didn’t like that last element and so on Wednes-day, their negotiators proposed delaying a $69 million contribu-tion to the pension system from April 15 until after July 1.

Senate approves bill on youth sports injuries TOPEKA (AP) — The Kansas Senate has approved a bill aimed

at providing greater protection to youths who suffer head injuries during school sporting events.

Wednesday’s 37-0 vote sends the bill to the House.The legislation applies to elementary and secondary schools.

It requires that students who suffer or are suspected of suffering a head injury or concussion be removed from a practice or game immediately. They could return to practice or competition only after being evaluated by a health care provider and getting written clearance.

The State Board of Education and state activities association would be required to develop information for schools, coaches, parents and students regarding head injuries.

Students would be allowed to participate in sports only after signing a form saying they’re aware of the dangers and risks of injury.

Senate committee endorses liquor sales bill TOPEKA. (AP) — A Kansas Senate committee has endorsed a

bill phasing in sales of full-strength beer, wine and liquor in gro-cery and convenience stores by 2017.

The Federal and State Affairs Committee’s approval Tuesday sent the measure to the full Senate for debate, possibly as early as Friday.

State law now allows grocery and convenience stores to sell only “cereal malt beverage,” also known as “weak” or “low-point” beer. Under the bill, the state would freeze the number of licenses allowing a store to sell full-strength beer, wine and liquor at the present number of about 760 until 2017. A grocery or convenience store could obtain a license if a liquor store closed or sold its license. Starting in 2017, grocery and convenience stores could compete with liquor stores.

House votes to end immigrant tuition break TOPEKA. (AP) — House members have voted to end a program

that allows some illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition to attend Kansas public colleges and universities.

The chamber voted 72-50 on Tuesday to repeal the law, which began in 2004. The bill now goes to the Senate.

Critics of the tuition program argue the state policy violates fed-eral law and is unfair to out-of-state and foreign students at Kansas colleges and universities.

Supporters say the repeal is driven by fear that the tuition break is encouraging illegal immigrants to move to Kansas.

Similar measures have passed the House since adoption of the policy but have failed to find enough votes in the Senate.

The state Board of Regents said 413 students enrolled under the law last fall.

Topeka police break up restaurant brawl TOPEKA (AP) — Topeka police were called to settle a fight

that erupted between adults celebrating separate birthday parties at a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant.

Capt. Bill Cochran told The Topeka Capital-Journal that officers responded to the child-oriented restaurant Saturday night after a disturbance started inside and spilled out into the parking lot.

Cochran said the fight began when two families hosting their own birthday events had a disagreement. He did not specify what the disagreement was about. Adults from both parties then began fighting inside the restaurant and in the parking lot.

Police were able to disperse the crowd. They also issued cita-tions for fighting and disorderly conduct.

Lecompton couple have baby in elevator

LAWRENCE (AP) — A baby girl born in Lawrence may be known as “Ellee” for the rest of her life, thanks to the way she came into the world.

Alyssa Lynn Leming was born Friday in an elevator at Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

Patrick and Crystal Leming of Lecompton had planned to have the baby in Olathe. But when her contractions became seri-ous, they went to a fire station, and an ambulance took them to Lawrence Memorial. Crystal Leming says it was only an hour between the start of severe con-tractions and the birth.

When the elevator door opened, she said “Can some-body please catch her head?”

PARSONS — Shake-N-Bake, once synony-mous with a method for cooking chicken, is now synonymous with a method for cooking one of the most dangerous and highly addictive drugs.

Shake-N-Bake refers to the most recent meth-od to cook methamphetamine, a highly addictive, mental and physical stimulant that affects the central nervous system. Use of the drug stretches across all age groups, and all social classes.

This one-pot method allows makers of the drug to complete its manufacture at minimal cost, eas-ily, simply, anywhere, within two to three hours, Parsons Police Department Deputy Chief Scott Gofourth told Parsons residents at a community meeting Monday night.

Meth manufacturers using this method only need a two-liter pop bottle, plastic tubing, pseu-doephedrine, rock salt, a few household chemi-cals like Coleman fuel and liquid Heet, lithium batteries and water. They put everything into the bottle and shake it to mix the chemicals, hence the name. This starts the cook process.

“When they are making it, they watch the lid, and when it starts to expand, they will lift the lid off to release pressure, then put it back on and keep doing that while it cooks,” Gofourth said. “If they mix the chemicals wrong, or don’t release the pressure in time, it can explode and cause a fire. This method has led to at least two fires locally.”

So how common is the manufacture of meth locally?

“They have shake-offs here to see who can produce the most meth with one box of pseudo-ephedrine,” Gofourth said.

The Parsons police have discovered these one-pot meth labs just about everywhere one can imagine, from a baby’s room by a crib to the trunks of cars.

“We have people driving around with these bottles in the trunk of their cars, so we can’t see them if they get stopped. Some of them are driv-ing with their babies in the car. The problem for the public is, if they don’t stop in time to let the pressure off, or if they get in an accident, it will explode,” Gofourth said.

Other dangers follow the manufacturing pro-cess for the general public, as those with these traveling labs, will simply toss the materials used along the roadsides in ditches, creeks and parks. Each of the chemicals individually is considered a toxic material, but combined it creates toxic hazardous waste which the general public is then exposed to. Because of the ease in making the product, and transportability of the one-pot “lab,” this new method of meth production is harder for police to track. In fact, the production in this area is so rampant, the police department is commit-ting many of its resources to meth-related crime.

Anyone thinking that meth doesn’t affect them should think again, Gofourth said. Methamphet-amine is not just a law enforcement problem, it is a community problem that exists nationwide, costing taxpayers billions of dollars a year.

Parsons and Labette County are far from immune from the manufacture of meth and its resulting costs.

Meth lab cleanup costs average around $2,000 to $3,000 for a small one-pot lab, according the federal Drug Enforcement Agency. The greater the number of pots found onsite, the greater the cost. Last year, Gofourth said the Parsons Police Department discovered 33 one-pot labs in Par-sons. Cleanup costs are only the tip of the iceberg in consuming taxpayer dollars. There are costs for police and medical personnel training, law enforcement time and overtime, investigation, jail incarceration, criminal justice costs (attor-neys, prosecution, imprisonment) and immedi-ate and long-term medical and mental health treatment, to name a few. There are additional costs associated as well, such as increased crime, such as theft, property damage, reduced prop-erty value, medical costs for innocent bystanders (including children) injured or poisoned from the lab, unemployment, children abused and neglected and placed in foster care, and other social problems.

“If you think meth is not in your high schools, you’re wrong,” Gofourth said. “We have younger people that are cooking it now, so it is easier for youth to get a hold of it.”

Parsons police respond to thefts nearly every

day from Wal-Mart of meth-related supplies, Gofourth said.

“While they have to buy the pseudoephedrine, they like to steal the rest,” he said.

“There is a study that told us that it is believed 80 percent of pseudoephedrine purchased is used to make meth,” Gofourth said. “If that is true, at one store alone in Parsons last month enough pseudoephedrine was sold to make 1.2 pounds of meth. And that was just one store.”

To put it in perspective, meth is sold by the gram, and one ounce has 28 grams. There are 16 ounces in a pound, so 504 grams could have been produced in one month from purchases from one store in Parsons.

The fact pseudoephedrine is now kept behind counters, people are required to sign to purchase it, and information on purchases is collected in the state’s $2 million database has done nothing to curb purchases for meth production.

In fact, Gofourth said, in 2009, Kentucky saw a 47 percent increase, Oklahoma a 600 percent increase and Arkansas a 100 percent increase in one-pot lab production.

Those cooking usually work with an organized group of people, wherein each person (also known as smurfers) will purchase the legal limit to contribute to the cook. Gofourth said money rarely exchanges hands anymore, because cooks barter with users, providing them with meth for providing certain supplies.

Oftentimes, they will also pay people not involved to go in stores and make the purchase for them, causing those persons to unknowingly become part of the conspiracy to manufacture meth.

“Pseudoephedrine is the one thing they can’t substitute to make meth. They have to have it,” Gofourth said. He said the police are turning to the people for help to put through the one cost-effective means of reducing meth labs in the area — making pseudoephedrine available by prescription only.

“With the budget constraints, there are limits on what we can do, and it is only going to get worse,” Gofourth said. “This is the cure.”

Several states have made the move to do so, and cities in Missouri have began to initiate ordi-nances requiring pseudoephedrine be obtained by prescription only, as it once was.

States that have implemented such legislation have seen dramatic drops in crime labs, one state reporting a decrease from more than 300 labs found in a year to two.

In addition, Gofourth said, California reported a 76 percent reduction in child removals from the home. At the same time, he said, none of the pre-dicted negatives have occurred, such as increased cost of pseudoephedrine products, or increased Medicaid and Medicare costs.

Missouri is now considering passing similar legislation, as more of its cities pass ordinances requiring prescriptions for pseudoephedrine. Jop-lin is now considering joining other Missouri cities. If Joplin passes the ordinance, or Missouri passes state legislation, Gofourth said Southeast Kansas is only going to see an influx in smurfers and cooks coming across the state lines, increas-ing meth issues locally. The two homicides in Parsons last year were both related to meth, and Gofourth said he does not want to see more.

Presently, Kansas chiefs of police and sheriffs are remaining neutral until they see what other cities are doing.

“The Parsons Police Department feels it has a responsibility to the community, and we can’t sit around and wait. ... We don’t want to put our heads in the sand and see in two years what hap-pens,” Gofourth said. “We need to address this now. I would like to see our community have businesses come here and find an employable work force, and not have to worry about the meth-related crime.”

Gofourth asks that every person in the com-munity contact city commissioners and request they pass an ordinance requiring prescriptions for the purchase of pseudoephedrine. Admittedly, Gofourth said, the impact in Parsons may be minimal until neighboring towns, the region and state jump on board with initiating legislation, but Gofourth said, “It has to start somewhere and at least we can say we didn’t contribute to the problem. They will have to leave town to get their supplies, and will hopefully just move away.”

Parents of missing boy enter not guilty pleas EL DORADO (AP) — A Kansas couple has pleaded not guilty

to charges that they fraudulently collected adoption subsidies long after their 11-year-old son disappeared in 1999.

Doug and Valerie Herrman, of Derby, are accused of collect-ing $52,800 in state adoption subsidies from May 1999 to July 2005 while falsely claim-ing Adam Herrman as a depen-dent. Their lawyer has called the allegation a technical finan-cial matter.

The Herrmans have said Adam ran away in 1999 from the mobile home park in Towan-da where the family then lived. They entered the pleas Tues-day after waiving their right to a hearing on whether there’s enough evidence to try them.

Adam remains missing.The couple’s jury trial was set

for June 21.

She would love to have a card from you.

Page � Thursday, February 24, 2011 The Chanute TribuneReligion

It was love at first sight.When Rebekah saw Isaac

in the field praying, she was attracted to her future husband. Isaac’s first response to Rebe-ka was to marry her.

Rebecca had a vivacious personality. She was outgoing, adventurous, and loved being the center of attention.

But Isaac was different. The opposite of Rebeka, he was quiet, passive, a man who didn’t take bold action.

Sparks of romance flew with couple who were decidedly different. Opposites attract. The quiet marries the outgo-ing. The adventurous weds the passive. Rebecca and Isaac lived in a tentful of love.

Now change the scene.Isaac believes he is on his

deathbed, at age 137. He has trouble seeing clearly, his hear-ing impaired. He calls for Esau to come and receive the family blessing. The blessing, given earlier to Abraham, was a land and a nation. God’s promise was passed from Abraham to his son Isaac. It was now time to pass the blessing to the next

generation. Esau, the oldest was the one Isaac intended to bless.

Rebekah is convinced the other son, Jacob, was the child of blessing. Conning her own husband, Rebekah dressed Jacob like Esau to deceive Isaac . Isaac, mistakenly gave the blessing to Jacob, Rebekah’s favorite son. Later Esau would beg but once given, the bless-ing could not be taken back. So Jacob was blessed not Esau.

What happened? How did Isaac and Rebekah’s love become mistrust and trickery?

Could it have been a lack of communication? The quiet silent man who craves time alone marries the spirited talk-ative woman. She tries to force a conversation and he retreats further into himself. She com-plains more loudly and he

becomes an impenetrable wall. What to do? Both husband

and wife need to own their part of the problem. He needs to open up and learn how to talk about issues. The wife needs to slow down the pace of con-versation. Communication can happen.

Research has shown that an easy way to improve the atmo-sphere in marriage is the 5/1 rule. In marriages where there are five positive statements for every negative, the marriage thrives. As the ratio becomes more negative the greater the risk in marriage. This is a sim-ple rule you can quickly imple-ment to your marriage.

Research shows what the Bible already taught: “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouth but that which builds others up accord-ing to their needs that it may benefit those who listen.” Eph 4:29

What would marriage be like if we lived by that verse?

Hijacked sailor sought to mix faith, adventure

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A friend and former professor of a California man whose yacht was hijacked by Somali pirates said Sunday that Scott Adam wanted to combine his love of adven-ture with his faith by spreading Bibles around the world.

Professor Robert K. Johnston of Full-er Theological Seminary in Pasadena told The Associated Press that Adam — who last year earned a master of theol-ogy degree from the school — had sent friends e-mails detailing his interna-tional sailing trip. But Adam went silent Feb. 12 to avoid revealing the location of his yacht, the Quest, to pirates.

“He was sailing around the world and serving God, two of his passions,” Johnston said.

Organizers of the Blue Water Rally yacht race said passengers of the sail-boat owned by Adam and his wife, Jean, carried them and two other Americans, Phyllis Macay and Bob Riggle, both of Seattle. It was hijacked Friday off the coast of Oman.

Johnston said that despite an adven-turous spirit, the Adams were meticu-lous planners who knew the dangers they faced. The couple had sailed with a large flotilla to stay safe from pirates near Thailand earlier in the trip.

Adam, now in his mid-60s, had been an associate producer in Hollywood when he turned in a spiritual direction and enrolled in the seminary a decade ago, Johnston said.

Everyday MiraclesThere are those who see miracles only in the extraordinary, the vastness of the cosmos or the infinitesimal interstices of subatomic particles, while others see miracles everywhere, from the evening sunset to the spider’s web on the back porch. They are both right: miracles are extraordinary, and yet the everyday aspect of the world is also miraculous. The world is truly miraculous in every aspect, from its size and scope down to its minute detail. How amazing that the sun comes up each morning, or more accurately, that the earth spins on its axis to face the sun each day. How amazing that our sun makes plants grow and that eating these plants makes animals grow, and that animals having eaten plants will then deposit seeds with fertilizer to keep the whole cycle going. These everyday miracles are everywhere, if only we have eyes to see them. The how and the why of our world is indeed a miracle beyond all comprehension, exceeded perhaps only by the sheer fact of the universe itself. That the world exists at all, that there is something rather than nothing, is that not the greatest miracle of all?

All things were made through Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made. R.S.V. John 1:3

For Tim Wrestler, Troy Clark and Tyler Kidwell, this is it.

The three Chanute High School seniors will finish their respective prep careers at the Class 4A State Wrestling Tourna-ment this weekend in Salina.

They won’t be alone, however, as three others from Chanute will also com-pete this weekend — Sam Son, Jared McComb and Jared Fiscus.

All six Blue Comets have the goals set high for the state tourney, which begins on Friday morning and finishes up on Saturday night.

Here’s a look at each state qualifier from Cha-nute.

125 — Tim WrestlerTim Wrestler wants to finish his prep

career in a state title match.After finishing fourth and sixth the

last two years, the CHS senior wants to go one step further this year at 125 pounds.

“Nothing’s going to stop me,” Wres-tler said. “It’s my last shot. I know I have the ability, so I’m not going to let anything stop me. My goal is to win it. As long as I wrestle my best, I can make the finals. And just being in the finals would be amazing.”

Now 26-4 on the season, Wrestler takes on Mario Munuz of Topeka Hayden in the first round on Friday.

Bo Newport of Prairie View is ranked first in 4A, with Wrestler second. The two went one-on-one in the regional title match last weekend, with Newport com-ing out on top 7-2.

They could meet again — in the state title match.

Wrestler could have a tough second round match, though. Robbie Hines of Ulysses is ranked third and is 32-2.

“My bracket is tough, I’ll have to be on my A game,” Wrestler said.

“His bracket is tough, but Tim is tough,” Chanute Coach Andy Albright added. “He’s placed twice and he’s real-ly hungry to make the finals this year. And he wants to win it, and he has the capability to do it.”

Wrestler said he’s working hard this week with a state medal in mind.

“I need to get my conditioning back first this week,” he said. “With my ankle injury, I had to take some time off, so I lost some conditioning.”

Working hard is something Wrestler has done for years, Albright said.

“Tim worked hard all last summer and has paid the price with this weekend in mind,” Albright said. “He got a little banged up earlier this year, but he’s had a great senior season. I feel like Tim is peaking at the right time.”

Wrestler said he’s ready for one last trip to state.

“State is always exciting,” he said. “All the hard work I’ve done over the years is worth it. I’m definitely excited.”

130 — Jared FiscusChanute sophomore Jared Fiscus will

be making his first trip to the Class 4A State Tournament this weekend. But he’s no stranger to big meets.

“It’s not his first big tournament,” Albright said, mentioning Kids State. “He’s usually pretty composed. He has

a lot of potential. We definitely expect him to do well at the state tournament. We have high expectations for him. If he opens up, good things can happen.”

Fiscus enters state competition with a record of 28-12. He said nerves shouldn’t be too much of a problem.

“I might be a little nervous at first because it’s my first time at state, but I’ve been to the Kids State Tournament,” Fiscus said. “I just need to stay positive and keep my head on straight. It should be fun.”

Fiscus will open the tournament on

Blue Comets sweep

CoffeyvilleTribune staff

COFFEYVILLE — The regular season finale couldn’t have gone much better.

The Chanute High School boys basketball won its sixth-straight contest with an impressive 71-58 win over Coffeyville on Tuesday night.

The one-two punch of Grif-fin Williams and Caleb Wood proved tough to stop. Williams scored 27 and Wood added 25 for the Blue Comets, who end the regular season at 13-7 overall and 6-2 in the SEK League.

The Blue Comets got on a roll, led by 22 and then held off a late Coffeyville rally to secure the win.

With the loss, the Golden Tornado fell to 13-6 overall and 5-2 in the SEK.

A back and forth first quar-ter ended with Coffeyville up 16-14. After scoring six in the first quarter, Wood scored three hoops early in the second period and the Comets were up 20-19. But each time the Com-ets got in front, the Golden Tornado scored right back.

Coffeyville was up 24-22 when Williams scored five-straight, with a three and two free throws. But Jeremy Mar-shall drained a three to tie the game at 27.

But Chanute finally pulled ahead late in the second period with a big run. Skyler Miner hit three free throws and then Williams caught fire.

The senior guard connected on three-straight three-point-ers to put the Comets up 39-27. Coffeyville then turned the ball over and Williams scored a layup at the buzzer, giving the Comets a commanding 41-27 lead at halftime.

Williams scored 19 points in the first half, with 11-straight to end the second quarter.

Wood scored two hoops early in the third and Chanute was ahead 45-27. Moments later, Wood hit two free throws and Williams scored, giving the Comets a 20-point lead at 49-29.

By the time the third quarter ended, Chanute was up big at 57-39.

Coffeyville didn’t go down quietly. The Tornado scored nine-straight points to start the

Dear Amy: I was in a relationship with “Steve” for about a year. Then one day, while we were still together, he showed up at work with another woman. They both had hickeys on their necks, and they were holding hands.

One of my friends/co-workers confronted them, asking if they were dating, and the woman said, “Of course!” I was devastated.

Several months passed, and then I finally got the courage to talk to him about it. He told me he was stupid to do it, that he had messed up badly, and that he would like another chance. I gave him that chance, and a couple of months later, his ex-girlfriend got out of jail. He broke up with me again — this time for her.

She has a bad reputation for messing with people, so I told him, “If she breaks up with you again, don’t bother coming back.” Now he’s acting really sweet and saying that I’m the only girl on his mind and that he wants the two of us to work things out. He says he has messed up but he wants to change.

Amy, my feelings for him burn like the heat of one thousand suns. I feel as if I’m completely lost in a forest of love. I want him back, but I don’t want to be hurt again by the man I love. What should I do? — Lost in the Forest

Dear Lost: “Steve” certainly has brought out the poet in you. And because you can’t see the love forest through the trees, I

will supply the next act of your romance for you.

You will take him back. After a honeymoon period ranging between a couple of hours and a couple of weeks, Steve will walk into a bar sporting matching hickeys and holding hands with another woman — or some version of this. You will be devastated, and the next time he is between girlfriends he’ll beg your forgiveness.

You will cycle through this relationship with him until you wise up. You could save yourself the inevitable devastation if you would imagine this scenario, walk through it in your mind, and decide to skip it altogether

Dear Amy: I have a lifelong friend who is the mother of an energetic 3-1/2-year-old boy. We used to speak several times a day by phone about basically — nothing. It was just chatter.

Now whenever any of her friends call her, we have a multi-way conversation with her, her husband and/or the little guy. It is impossible to have a conversation of any kind at any time!

What is a tactful way to approach this without hurting the friendship? We all have tried calling while her son is napping, but it’s as if he has radar! When her husband is home, he chimes in. We now speak maybe two to three times a week, and I miss our talks. — Going Crazy

Dear Crazy: You say you used to enjoy your multiple opportunities for meaningless chatter. But now when you call your friend and actually get meaningless chatter, you say you don’t like it.

Cut this mom some slack. She simply can’t be available to you the way she once was. This will change in time. Urge your friend to call you when she can, but don’t push her into having the kind of contact with you she can no longer have. A “girls’ night out” might be the best way to get your meaningless chatter back.

Dear Amy: I’m responding to the letter from “Anonymous” who has a memory of her uncle exposing himself to her when she was very young. I applaud her courage in going to therapy. I’d add one more concern: It is very likely this uncle has approached other children with similar or even more aggressive behavior.

Shame, fear or threats keep victims from talking about these experiences, and allow the perpetrators to continue the behavior in secret. Talking to her parents may well help protect other children in the family from this man. Her first responsibility is to be safe and to heal; then she can consider her other choices. — Concerned Psychologist

Dear Concerned: I agree. Thank you very much.

Love bites in mysterious ways

Dear Heloise: I read in a novel that you can polish silver flatware by bringing water containing aluminum foil to a boil. When boiling, place tarnished flatware in the water and add 1/4 cup baking soda. Boil for a few minutes. Remove the shiny silver, then wash in warm, soapy water and dry. I tried this on six pieces, and it worked like a dream.

My question is: Is this a safe method? Will it harm the silver or silver-plated items? — Prudence, via e-mail

Yes, it is one way to quick-clean, and it may be safe on most sterling silver. Antique, heirloom, oxidized (pieces with purposely blackened areas, called patina), silver plate and hollow-handled pieces SHOULD NOT be cleaned this way. Also, this is for OCCASIONAL cleaning only.

First, put the stopper in the drain. Then place several sheets of foil (shiny side either up or down), lengthwise and side to side, in the sink (not stainless steel). Boil water, enough to cover the pieces. Put 2 to 3 tablespoons of baking soda on top of the foil, pour the boiling water carefully into the sink and mix to dissolve the baking soda.

Carefully put the silver pieces in, making sure they make contact with the foil. Soak for several minutes or until they are shiny, then rinse in cold water and dry with a microfiber or other soft cloth.

By the way, make every day special by using your silver flatware. No need to save it for special occasions! — Heloise

Dear Heloise: My car has a musty odor to it even after cleaning. I’m tired of buying the car fresheners, because they don’t last long, and it gets expensive after a while. Do you know of anything that I can make at home? — Carl L., via e-mail

Mom gives birth in Kansas hospital elevator

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — A Kan-sas newborn could be well equipped to face the ups and downs of life: She was born in a hospital elevator.

Alyssa Lynn Leming arrived Friday as her parents rushed through the Lawrence Memorial Hospital in Law-rence, some 50 miles west of Kansas City.

Crystal Leming says it took just an hour from the onset of severe con-tractions to the birth of the 5-pound, 11-ounce girl whom they have nick-named Ellee for her unusual arrival.

Leming told The Lawrence Journal-World that she and her husband, Pat-rick, just couldn’t reach the delivery room in time.

When the elevator door opened, Leming says she asked the assembled staff, “Can somebody please catch her head?”

The new mom says her baby is healthy and “apparently already has a flair for the dramatic.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Chris Brown doesn’t have to stay away from Rihanna anymore after a judge on Tues-day downgraded a restraining order in the singer’s felony assault case.

Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg’s ruling came after an attorney for Rihanna said she didn’t object to removing the stay-away provisions of an order issued after Brown pleaded guilty to beating her in February 2009. The old order required Brown to stay 50 yards away from Rihanna, but the restriction was reduced to 10 yards if they were at a music-industry event.

The judge said she never would have considered relax-ing the order without Rihanna’s consent and until Brown completed domestic violence counseling. Prosecutors did not object to the change.

Schnegg praised Brown, who was in the court Tuesday and left holding a one-page copy of the new order. She noted he continues to make progress on completing the physical labor requirements of his probation and said the R&B singer does not have to attend a June 22 progress report hearing.

The new order remains in effect until August 2014 when Brown’s probation is scheduled to end.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Alyssa Milano is becoming a mom.

A spokeswoman for Milano says the 38-year-old actress is expecting her first child with husband David Bugliari.

Milano confirmed the news on Twitter Tuesday, writing that she “couldn’t be happier.”

state, Clark was unable to advance to the medal round.

As he prepares for state this week, Clark reflected back to his first two trips to state and admitted he was left disappoint-ed both times.

“My first trip was really nerve-racking because it was my first time,” Clark said. “Last year was a wake-up call for me. I didn’t even place. I told myself, ‘Hey, you have to pick it up next year.’”

Albright said those two previ-ous trips have been motivation for Clark.

“Troy has high expecta-tions,” Albright said. “The last two years, not bringing home a medal when he thought he should, has been motivation for him. It’s made him work harder. He’s focused. It’s his senior year, and hopefully he peaks this weekend.”

Clark mentioned a couple of keys to success for himself.

“I need to be smart, wrestle tough and leave it all out there,” Clark said. “I just need to wrestle like I know I can.”

Now 34-9, Clark takes on Kale Cauthon of Santa Fe Trail in the first round.

Clark is ranked fifth in 4A. Clark will likely run into top-ranked Jonathan Blackwell of Bonner Springs in the second round.

Clark said his goals are set high.

“My first goal is to make it to the finals,” Clark said. “And after I do that, the goal is to win it. But I know I have to take care of the first goal first. I’m ready. I’m always ready.”

152 — Sam SonSam Son is having a season to

remember. Undefeated at 40-0, Son enters the state tournament with momentum and confidence on his side.

A junior, Son is a two-time state runner-up. In two-straight years, Son has fallen just short in a state title match.

“I’ve learned from both of those losses, and they’ve moti-vated me more and more to work harder towards a state title,” Son said.

For Son, a state title is defi-nitely the goal.

“’That’s always been the goal for me, every year,” Son said. “I know I’ve worked hard, so hopefully I’ll come out on top this year.”

Son said he isn’t assuming he’ll reach the finals or the semifinals easily.

“I’ll have tough matches,” Son said. “I won’t overlook anybody. I think my bracket is probably one of the tough-est brackets at state. I knew it

wouldn’t be a cake-walk, but I’ve worked hard all year for this weekend.”

As far as keys to success this weekend, Son said he just needs to continue to do the same things he’s done all year long.

“I need to stay aggressive at all times,” Son said. “I won’t go in over-confident, either. I’m going to treat every match like it’s the state title match.”

Son takes on Cody Vukas of DeSoto in the first round on Friday.

Ryan Cokeley of St. James Academy appears to be Son’s biggest challenger at 152 pounds. Cokeley is ranked first in Class 4A, with Son ranked second. The way the bracket is set up, the two regional champs would meet in the semifinals, not the title match. Albright said Cokeley is nationally-ranked and his losses have come to out of state competitors.

Albright added Son has the ability to beat anyone in his bracket.

“Sam’s goal is to wrestle to his potential,” Albright said. “He wants to win a state title, and that’s everyone’s goal. Sam just needs to go out and be aggres-sive for six minutes of a match. He doesn’t have a cake-walk, every round will be tough. If he has the right attitude, I think good things will happen for him this weekend.”

160 — Tyler KidwellBlue Comets senior Tyler

Kidwell advanced to state in his last chance. A year ago, Kidwell went 0-2 at the regional and was done.

This year, a much-improved Kidwell made sure his prep career would end at state.

Kidwell said he’s improved so much from last year that he’s a completely different wrestler.

“Honestly, right now, I could pin myself from last year,” Kidwell said. “I’ve improved a lot. I’m so much better at my shots. And working with Sam has helped me a lot.”

Kidwell said advancing to state at the regional was defi-nitely a memorable moment for him.

“Getting to state is really big for me,” Kidwell said.

Kidwell will begin the tour-ney on Friday against Colton Easterburg of Clay Center. East-erburg is ranked sixth in 4A.

“I have a good kid right off the bat, but I’m going to be focused,” Kidwell said. “We’re working really hard in practice this week and I really hope I can place.”

Another first-timer, Kidwell said he hopes his nerves won’t affect him.

“I can’t get nervous out there, I just need to treat it like any other match,” he said. “I need to be aggressive. I hope to go out there and win some matches,

and hopefully I’ll place.”The two favorites in the

bracket are Jake Hattabaugh of Andale (32-2) and Colton Pick-ing of Abilene (28-2).

Kidwell is 22-15 and Coach Albright said Kidwell has worked extremely hard to get to this point.

“He’s been solid all year,” Albright said. “We expect him to do well this weekend. And it’s really nice to see him going to state. We feel like he really deserved it. He’s been a great kid to have in the room.”

189 — Jared McCombJared McComb will be mak-

ing his third-straight trip to state. The junior earned a sixth place medal last year.

McComb said his first two trips could have gone better.

“There was some excitement, but some disappointment,” McComb said.

With that, McComb added he’s improved a lot since last year at this time.

“I’m more mature this year, mentally and physically,” McComb said.

McComb takes on Skyler Hittle of Concordia in the first round. McComb is ranked fifth in 4A at 189, with Hittle sixth.

The wrestler McComb nearly beat in the regional title match, Zach Grimes of Osawatomie, is ranked first in 4A and is now 40-1 on the season.

McComb enters state compe-tition at 16-3.

He said he knows what he needs to do to be successful this weekend and has his goals set high.

“I just need to wrestle smart,” McComb said. “I think the bracket is set up pretty good for me. I just want to improve on last year.”

Albright said McComb has the ability to reach the state title match.

“Jared is an elite athlete,” Albright said. “Anyone that watched him on the football field knows that. He can make a lot of things happen on the wres-tling mat. He’s got a chip on his shoulder. He wasn’t happy with sixth last year. And he has very high expectations for himself.”

This ‘N ThatThe 4A state wrestling tourna-

ment is held at the Bicentennial Center in Salina. The wrestling begins at 10 a.m. on Friday.

fourth and cut Chanute’s lead all the way down to nine at 57-48 with 5:18 to play.

The CHS lead was down to seven with just under three minutes to play, but the Comets held on for the win.

Brandon Bell and Dustin Eccles hit late free throws to seal the win.

Eccles added 14 points for the Comets.

Freshman James Newton led Coffeyville with 25 points. Coffeyville is playing with-out all-league player Cameron Craig, who is out with a leg injury.

GIRLS EARN A WINOne night after a disap-

pointing loss, Chanute’s girls bounced back.

Jordan Wiltse scored 19 points and the Chanute High School girls basketball team snapped a three-game losing streak with a 53-42 win at Coffeyville on Tuesday night.

With the win, Chanute ends the regular season with a record of 10-10.

Two others reached double figures for Chanute, as Mack-enzey Sutcliffe added 12 and Bailey Erikson scored 10.

The Comets led 17-13 at the end of the first quarter. Wiltse scored nine first-quar-ter points.

Chanute began the second quarter with an 8-0 run to pull away.

Wiltse, Sutcliffe and Erik-son scored during the spurt for the Comets.

The Blue Comets were up by 12 at 25-13 at that point. But the Golden Tornado ral-lied with a 9-2 run to cut Chanute’s lead to five.

Wiltse scored inside just before halftime and the Com-ets were up 29-22.

Wiltse scored 15 points in the first half.

Both teams scored 10 points in the third, and Morgan Olson’s late hoop gave Cha-nute a 39-32 lead entering the fourth quarter.

The Comets scored eight of the first 11 of the fourth to go up 12 at 47-35 with three min-utes to play.

Erikson had two hoops, Sut-cliffe hit a three-pointer and Olson made one free throw during the fourth quarter run.

Coffeyville kept coming, but the Comets held on for the win.

Chanute went 5-3 in the SEK League and begins sub-state play next week.
