Rep. Jenkins makes pit stop in IolaBy ALLISON TINN

allison@iolaregister.comU.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins was

not optimistic during Friday’s stop at the Iola Public Library.

“We are almost at $16.39 tril-lion in debt. This is the highest in our nation’s history,” Jenkins said. “This is unsustainable. We need to do something to fix it.”

Jenkins said the debt is rough-ly $50,000 per U.S. citizen.

At the beginning of the Con-gressional session, Jenkins is on her “Congress to Kansas” listen-ing tour across the 26 district she covers.

Jenkins attributes the current debt to the nation’s spending.

“The goal for most nations is to have no more than 19 percent of the GDP go toward govern-ment spending,” Jenkins said.

Jenkins said in the past few

years the spending has been above 20 percent of GDP.

“We are trying to get to the kind of government that the framers of the Constitution had in mind, and give back to the peo-

ple what the federal government has taken away,” she said.

One of Jenkins’ suggestions to create prosperity is for people to

Area Agency on Aging faces changes from state

By STEVEN SCHWARTZsteven@iolaregister.com

CHANUTE — The Area Agency on Aging’s role is changing in the realm of managed care for the el-derly and the physically and men-tally disabled.

The changes have come at the hand of Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration. Formerly, the agency was responsible for case management for the three groups. Now, under KanCare, three major companies have taken on that re-sponsibility — Amerigroup, Sun-flower State and United Health-care.

“This is a really significant change,” Executive Director John L. Greene said.

The state’s motivation for the changes, according to Greene, is to save $5 billion over the course of five years from switching from

a state-run operation to private enterprise.

He described the agency’s new services as “wrap-around servic-es,” meant to consolidate efforts to give the elderly and disabled the services they need.

As for the AAA, things are starting to change around their offices.

Instead of managing the care of the elderly and disabled, the agency is now responsible for the assessment of eligible candidates for care from the three companies. With the responsibility changes, the agency has also had to cut its staff in half, from 20 employees to 10. All of the employees no lon-ger working with the AAA found positions with the new case man-agement groups, Greene said.

Associated PressMIDLAND CITY, Ala. (AP) —

As an Alabama standoff and hos-tage drama marked a sixth day Sunday, more details emerged about the suspect at the cen-ter, with neighbors and officials painting a picture of an isolated man estranged from his family.

Authorities say Jim Lee Dykes, 65 — a decorated Vietnam-era vet-eran known as Jimmy to neigh-bors — gunned down a school bus driver and abducted a 5-year-old boy from the bus, taking him to an underground bunker on his rural property. The driver, 66-year-old Charles Albert Poland Jr., was buried Sunday.

Dykes, described as a loner who railed against the govern-ment, lives up a dirt road outside this tiny hamlet north of Dothan in the southeastern corner of

the state. His home is just off the main road north to the state capi-tal of Montgomery, about 80 miles away.

The FBI said in a statement Sunday that authorities continue to have an open line of communi-cation with Dykes. The little boy requested Cheez-Its and a red Hot Wheels car, both of which were delivered to the bunker, a sepa-rate statement said. Authorities had said they also were deliver-ing medicine and other comfort items, and that Dykes was mak-ing the child as comfortable as possible.

In the nearby community of Ozark on Sunday, more than 500 people filed into the Civic Center to pay a final tribute to Poland, who was being hailed as a hero for protecting the other children on the school bus before he was shot Tuesday.

Poland is now “an angel who

is watching over” the little boy, said Dale County School Superin-tendent Donny Bynum, who read letters written by three students who had ridden on Poland’s bus. “You didn’t deserve to die but you died knowing you kept everyone safe,” one child wrote.

Outside the funeral, school buses from several counties lined the funeral procession route. The buses had black ribbons tied to their side mirrors.

Dykes grew up in the Dothan area. Mel Adams, a Midland City Council member who owns the lot where reporters are gathered, said he has known Dykes since they were ages 3 and 4.

He said Dykes has a sister and a brother, but that he is estranged from his family.

Adams said he didn’t know what caused the falling-out, but

Allen County Farm Bu-reau sponsors three $100 scholarships each year to be given to graduating high school seniors going on to college or a vo-tech program in the fall.

Applicants or their par-ents/guardians must be paid members of Allen County Farm Bureau As-sociation or Allen County residents.

A letter of reference must accompany each scholarship application when submitted to the ACFB office, 807 N. State St., Iola, KS, 66749, by March 1.

A committee selected by the association’s board of directors will make the fi-nal decision for awarding the scholarships.

A letter of acknowledg-ment will be sent to each applicant at the close of the selection process. Pref-erence will be given to stu-dents choosing an agricul-ture-related profession.

Scholarships will be awarded at the school’s awards assembly in May.

Program Manager Stacy Dickerhoof and Financial Officer Cindy Lane said the responsibilities has been stretched thin around the office, trying to com-plete more tasks with few-er staff.“We need to provide qual-ity service in the right amount of time,” Dicker-hoof said. “We are pitch-ing in where we can.”

From the financial side of the changes, Greene is skeptical about how rev-enue will keep coming in the door. Though the agen-cy is a non-profit, he said there is still a significant amount of money required to keep the operation run-ning smoothly.

“Just because we are not-for-profit, doesn’t mean we can operate at a loss consistently,” Greene said. “This next year will be a challenge to break even.”

THE AGENCY’S re-sponsibilities have expand-

ed to include the physical-ly and mentally disabled, along with the frail elderly. Greene said the demo-graphics of their clientele are changing as well. Many of their services include people of all age ranges, not just those over the age

of 55.Lane said the workers

have a good reputation with the elderly, and they hope to maintain those re-lationships. Though she said there is some con-fusion surrounding the change of services.

“We get a lot of calls from people confused about the process,” Lane said. “But when it came to

case management, it was the trust factor.”

Now she said all the agency can do is give the best information possible to their clients, to direct them where they need to go.

Dickerhoof is currently

working on a four-year comprehensive plan that will outline the future of the agency. It will be completed, by state order, around the beginning of April. She said the chang-es in services will weigh greatly on the plan, and she is interested to see how they will weigh on the state as well.

“Medicaid costs have

always been a problem in the states, basically we are waiting and seeing,” Dickerhoof said. “In a way, we are kind of excited to share our knowledge and experience.”

Greene said KanCare is only a part of what the agency does, and several aspects of what they do are not changing at all. They still contract services sur-rounding attendant care, legal services, transporta-tion, respite services and nutritional services.

He said the future of the Area Agency on Aging is in the balance, and they will be relying on new ways — and new attitudes — to bring revenue in the door. As for the state, they will have to prove themselves as well.

“If quality continues to remain high and is cost ef-fective, that is good for ev-ery Kansan,” Greene said. “We’ll have to see, time will tell us.”

100 gallons of fuel spill in Overland Park

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (AP) — Fire officials in a Kansas City suburb are monitoring a large fuel spill at a convenience store.

The accident occurred at a Quik Trip store about 4:15 this morning when a fuel tanker driver was filling the station’s under-ground tanks.

Fire officials say about 100 gallons of fuel spilled into the parking lot and into a nearby storm drain. The cause of the spill has not been announced.

No injuries were re-ported. Firefighters and environmental workers checked the storm drains to ensure there was no dan-

ger of explosion. The area was reported to be safe about 6:45 a.m.

The Kansas Department of Emergency Manage-ment and Johnson County Environmental also were called to the scene.

Lesser prairie chicken a concern

LAMAR, Colo. (AP) — A public meeting is sched-uled today to discuss ways to protect the lesser prairie chicken.

Representatives from state and federal agencies will be on hand to discuss a management plan devel-oped by wildlife biologists from Colorado, New Mex-ico, Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas.

The goal is to protect

habitat to keep the birds from becoming a threat-ened species.

Some ranchers, wind farms and others have wor-ried that listing the bird as threatened could hurt their operations by leading to more regulations on the bird’s habitat.

The lesser prairie chick-en has feathered feet and a stout build. Males display brilliant yellow-orange eye combs and reddish-purple air sacs during courtship displays.

Medicaid meetingsacross the state

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas Medicaid re-cipients can learn about changes in the health care coverage program at

one of 16 meetings being held around the state this month.

Kansas turned most of the administration of Medicaid over to three private health insurance companies in January. Gov. Sam Brownback has said the overhauled pro-gram, known as KanCare, will deliver better-coordi-nated services with less cost.

The meetings with state officials are sched-uled Feb. 18 in Dodge City, Manhattan, Winfield and Topeka; Feb. 19 in Garden City, Salina, Parsons and Kansas City, Kan.; Feb. 20 in Colby, Great Bend, Fort Scott and Olathe; and Feb. 21 in Hays, Wichita, Empo-ria and Atchison.

Kansas briefs

LOS ANGELES — When Thomas Toth contracted pneumonia, he became in-separable from the cool, stylish Don Draper.

Toth watched all five seasons of the AMC series “Mad Men” from his sick-bed in a two-week viewing binge. He became so cap-tivated by its fictional ad-men that he began sporting skinny ties and drinking Old-Fashioned cocktails.

“The nuances of the story lines are getting so complicated — they’re in-troducing characters in Episode 2 and that charac-ter comes back in Episode 6 — I can digest things a lot quicker and easier when I binge on them,” the 44-year-old Denver resi-dent said.

Toth has lots of compa-ny. Services such as Netflix and Hulu, as well as digi-tal video recorders, have transformed the TV view-ing experience by enabling viewers to devour multiple episodes or even entire seasons of “The Wire” or “Downton Abbey” in mar-athon viewing sessions.

Now Netflix is making a massive bet that it can satisfy the addiction that it helped create. At 12:01 a.m. Friday the service debuted its first original series, a political drama called “House of Cards” that stars actor Kevin Spacey as a ruthless, scheming House majority whip.

In a departure from tele-vision tradition, the en-tire season of “House of Cards” — all 13 episodes, nearly 13 hours of tense Capitol Hill drama — will be available at once, with

the click of a button.Millions of Americans

are binge-viewing serial-ized dramas and comedies, including those that can no longer be found on the network prime-time sched-ule. Hits like the espionage thriller “24” and cult fa-vorites such as “Arrested Development,” which both ran on the Fox network, have found new life on Net-flix, as have past seasons of FX’s “American Horror Story” and ABC Family’s “Pretty Little Liars.”

The phenomenon is so pervasive that a majority of Americans ages 8 to 66 say they’ve engaged in this sort of copious TV con-sumption, according to a study conducted by media consultant Frank N. Magid Associates Inc.

“We’re finding that peo-ple who binge-view once binge-view again,” Magid Executive Vice President Jack MacKenzie said. “It’s the ‘you can’t eat just one’ kind of thing.”

This instant-gratifica-tion approach flouts net-work scheduling tradi-tions.

Hollywood has always fed audiences a diet of, “Wait a week and we’ll give

you new episodes, then wait a season, we’ll give you another season,” Net-flix Chief Content Office Ted Sarandos said.

“The Internet is attun-ing people to get what they want when they want it,” Sarandos said. “’House of Cards’ is literally the first show for the on-demand generation.”

Netflix committed a reported $100 million for two seasons of “House of Cards,” based on a strong script and the pedigree of

the creative team of direc-tor David Fincher (“The So-cial Network” and “Fight Club”) and writer Beau Willimon, who received an Oscar nomination for the 2011 political drama “The Ides of March.”

“We wanted to go all-in,” Sarandos said. “It’s impor-tant to signal ... that we’re moving into this space in a meaningful, big way. So we did it loud.”

If successful, the gambit could begin to unwind 60 years of serialized televi-sion convention — espe-cially if others begin to em-ulate Netflix’s approach. So far, broadcast and cable programmers have shown no inclination to release multiple episodes simulta-neously.

“I don’t think one show changes the television industry,” said Richard

Greenfield, media analyst with BTIG. But “if this be-come replicated multiple times over by Netflix and others, absolutely.”

The instant-availability formula dispenses with cliffhangers designed to prevent the audience from fleeing during commercial breaks and woo them back for next week’s install-ment. There is no need for comprehensive recaps of the previous week’s episode because Netflix assumes that viewers

won’t miss a beat.The absence of ads

means that each episode has more time for story lines and relationships — as much as 15 more min-utes of story per television hour.

BUT BINGE--viewing threatens to shake up tele-vision’s status quo. Along with the DVR, it’s another harbinger of the end of the time-honored network schedule, when execu-tives dictated when view-ers could watch a favorite show, said Jeffrey Cole, di-rector of the USC Annen-berg School Center for the Digital Future.

“It’s the viewer saying, ‘I will watch it how I want to watch it — in some cases without commercials,’” Cole said. “It’s television on my terms.”

Thought for the day

WASHINGTON — If this is how Jim Inhofe treats his friends, one shudders to think what he does to his enemies.

“I have known Sen. Kerry for many years and consider him a friend,” the Republican senator from Oklahoma said last week on the occasion of the Senate’s vote to confirm Inhofe’s dear friend John Kerry as secretary of state. “I again state that I consider him a friend,” Inhofe added.

Inhofe rewarded this friend-ship by being one of only three senators to vote against Kerry’s confirmation on Tuesday.

On Thursday, Inhofe had the chance to greet another old friend, former Sen. Chuck Hagel, a Ne-braska Republican nominated to be President Obama’s defense sec-retary. “You and I are very good friends,” Inhofe informed Hagel at the confirmation hearing.

Inhofe further informed his friend Hagel that his “record is

deeply troubling and out of the mainstream,” and that Hagel be-lieves in “appeasing our adversar-ies while shunning our friends.” Inhofe then recited a poem about the ills of appeasement.

Inhofe values his friendship with Hagel so much, in fact, that he decided to vote against his con-firmation even before listening to his testimony.

Why? “He’s just, in my opinion, wrong on the issues in the Middle East,” Inhofe told Fox News just before the confirmation hearing. “But he’s right in line, I might say, with President Obama.”

Opposing the nominee for hold-ing views consistent with those of the man who nominated him: That’s what friends are for?

The problem is this isn’t just a case of one man’s difficulty with friendship. Inhofe is the new ranking Republican member of the Senate Armed Services Com-mittee, and he seems intent to use this prominent perch to wage all-out war on the president.

This is significant because when it comes to the military, lawmakers have historically been able to overcome partisan differ-ences for the good of the country. At the start of Hagel’s confirma-tion hearing, two revered former senators who were members of the committee, Democrat Sam Nunn and Republican John War-ner, praised that tradition in their speeches urging Hagel’s confir-mation.

Nunn hailed the committee for its bipartisan work “even during contentious times.” Warner told the panel’s new members that “you will carry with you, for the rest of your life, the recollections of the work that you’ve done for one of America’s most valued as-sets.”

Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., in her turn to question Hagel, noted that “this committee needs to be bipartisan, and I hope that the new ranking member holds the same regard for that” as his predecessors.

But instead, Inhofe is leading Republicans to a position of gra-tuitous hostility. Following his

statement, Republicans on the panel signaled Thursday that they would vote, along party lines, against Hagel, simply because he held views, shared by the presi-dent, with which they disagreed.

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., in-formed his “old friend” Hagel that they have “fundamental disagree-ments” on matters of policy. He then proceeded to hector Hagel at length about his opposition to the “surge” in Iraq in 2007: “Do you stand by that? ... Were you cor-rect? ... The committee deserves your judgment. ... I want to know if you were right or wrong. ... Yes or no? Are you going to answer the question?”

I think McCain was right to support the surge and Hagel was wrong to oppose it. But Obama also opposed the surge — and he was elected president, twice. Mc-Cain may have “fundamental dis-agreements” with Obama, but he shouldn’t begrudge the president filling his Cabinet with people who share his policy judgments.

Inhofe, likewise, objected to his “friend” Kerry’s confirmation as

secretary of state because he has “been a strong advocate for U.S. action on climate change” (as has Obama) and supported the New START Treaty with Russia (as did Obama).

At Hagel’s confirmation, simi-larly, Inhofe said he would oppose the nominee because he would “be a staunch advocate for the continuation of the misguided policies of the president’s first term.”

He used most of his question-ing time to pester Hagel about past votes and to provoke him with insinuation. “Why do you think that the Iranian Foreign Ministry so strongly supports your nomination to be the secre-tary of defense?” he inquired.

Later, Inhofe took another turn at the microphone to say he “strongly disagreed” with Hagel’s characterization of Obama as a supporter of Israel. “I know he is not up for confirmation,” Inhofe admitted. “You are.”

That’s true: Obama is not up for confirmation. Inhofe ought to stop acting as if he were.

A man’s home is his castle. Well, less and less so in Kan-

sas. Here, it may be more of an albatross.

For the average American, his home is his biggest asset. We plow our earnings and sav-ings into buying a home. Much of each paycheck goes toward its mortgage. Right or wrong, home ownership is the Ameri-can dream.

Kansas homeowners still paying down their mortgages currently enjoy a tax deduc-tion of an average $389 on their state income taxes. The bigger the mortgage, the bigger the deduction.

Gov. Brownback wants to eliminate the tax break.

And while that may seem to be a progressive move, mean-ing it hits the w e a l t h i e s t the hardest, also caught in its wake are young families and the elderly who are strug-gling to hang on to the idea of home own-ership and ap-preciate any tax break they can get.

Home own-ership also means a big investment in a community, especially such as Iola where rental alternatives are slim to none.

For young families home ownership means buying into a community and setting down roots. Close on the heels comes enrolling children in schools, choosing a church, partici-pating in civic activities, and eventually taking on leader-ship roles in what has become a hometown.

These are all activities we as a state need to encourage.

GOV. BROWNBACK’S plan is to eventually scale down the personal income tax rate to zero, thereby removing one

of the three traditional legs of state funding — personal, prop-erty and sales taxes.

That would be fine, if all things were equal. If we all had similar-sized incomes and lived in similar-sized cities, then our expenses and hold-ings could be expected to be in the same neighborhood.

Trouble is, Kansas is a very disparate region. Kansas City, Lawrence and Wichita are flush with industries, retail stores and restaurants, conven-tion centers, and high-priced real estate. Much of the rest of the state, however, is popula-tion- and resource-poor.

In areas such as Allen Coun-ty, fewer people have to pay more in property and sales taxes to provide adequate ser-

vices. W h e n

the income tax is elimi-nated on say Charles Koch of Wichita’s Koch Indus-tries, whose net worth is $25 billion, you’ve kissed goodbye a tidy sum, even at the lower 4.9 percent rate — all in favor of

raising other taxes on the ma-jority of Kansans.

Brownback’s theory is Mr. Koch will take that realized savings and plow it into a busi-ness venture.

Not to be unkind, but the wealthy won’t direct said bo-nus to a specific endeavor. It’s just more to the pot.

But young families in the early stages of buying a home when the mortgage rate deduc-tion is most generous, will cer-tainly feel its loss most acutely.

Buying a home has trade-offs. Kansas legislators will be putting a mark in the “no” col-umn by eliminating the mort-gage interest tax break.

Those castle wallsmay soon crumble

Home ownership means buying into a community and setting down roots ... enrolling your children in schools, choosing a church, par-ticipating in civic activities and eventually taking on leadership roles in what has become a hometown.

The Internal Revenue Service has issued a hugely disappoint-ing ruling on how to calculate the affordability of health insur-ance offered by employers. Its needlessly strict interpretation of the Affordable Care Act could leave millions of Americans with modest incomes unable to afford family coverage under their em-ployers’ health insurance but in-eligible for subsidies to buy cov-erage elsewhere.

The problem arises from murky language in the law. It says a worker cannot get taxpay-er-subsidized coverage on the new health insurance exchanges, starting in 2014, unless the cost of employer-based health coverage for that worker exceeds 9.5 per-cent of the worker’s household income.

Both the I.R.S. and the Congres-sional Joint Committee on Taxa-tion have interpreted the law to consider only the cost of covering the individual employee in calcu-lating the 9.5 percent, not the much higher cost for a family plan.

Although some analysts had of-fered persuasive legal and social arguments for adopting a more expansive and generous interpre-tation of what the law requires, the strict interpretation pre-vailed in a final rule issued by the I.R.S. last week.

There is no doubt that this pinched approach will put a sig-

nificant number of workers and their dependents in a bind. A Kaiser Family Foundation sur-vey found that in 2012, employees’ annual share of insurance premi-ums averaged $951 for individual coverage and $4,316 for family coverage. Under the I.R.S. rule, such costs would be considered affordable for an employee with a household income of $35,000 a year — making the employee’s spouse and children ineligible for a public subsidy on a health ex-change, even though that family would have to spend 12 percent of its income for the employer’s fam-ily plan.

Estimates made in 2011 by re-spected research organizations suggested that some 2 million to 3.9 million non-working spouses and dependents would be harmed by the strict ruling. Looking only at children who were unin-sured but supposed to gain cov-erage under health care reform, the Government Accountability Office estimated last June that 460,000 might remain uninsured because of the affordability defi-

nition, and that 1.9 million might stay uninsured if an existing children’s health insurance pro-gram is phased out as currently planned. This outcome is exactly the opposite of what health care reform is supposed to achieve.

It is hard to see what might be done to reverse this deplorable re-sult. The ideal solution would be for Congress to clarify that the 9.5 percent calculation is based on a family plan, and that dependents can get subsidies on the exchang-es if there is no affordable cover-age at work. But House Republi-cans, who are bent on obstructing the health reform law, would nev-er agree to helpful changes, es-pecially one that would increase federal spending.

This problem increases the need to retain the children’s health insurance program, which is financed only through 2015. And it will be crucial to assess the impact that this misguided provision has on coverage, access to care, and the financial burdens on families of modest means.

A cruel blow to American families

Employees’ annual share of health insurance premi-ums averaged $951 for individual coverage and $4,316 for family coverage. The ruling jeopardizes continued coverage for families.

This is significant because when it comes to the military, lawmakers have historically been able to overcome partisan differences for the good of the country.

H JenkinsContinued from A1work longer.

“Is that fair? No, but life’s not fair, folks,” Jenkins said.

Jenkins said she would ask people to add about two more years to their working lives.

She also would propose changes to the new health care plan so “we can afford it,” Jenkins said, without being specific. “Elections have consequences. The new health care plan will be in full effect in less than a year.”

Jenkins said lowering corporate taxes would help bring prosperity back into the United States.

“We have the highest corporate tax rate in the world,” Jenkins said. “You would have to be a fool to do business in the U.S.”

JENKINS said there were a few significant dates citi-zens should be looking out for.

Today is the President’s budget deadline.

March 1 the sequester cuts hit. This will cut a large portion of defense spending.

“This is going to hurt, we all will feel these cuts,” Jen-kins said.

On March 27 “continuing resolution” expires. The gov-ernment is operating under

the Continuing Appropria-tions Resolution, a type of appropriations legislation used by Congress to fund government agencies if a formal appropriations bill has not been signed into law by the end of the Congressio-nal fiscal year.

According to Jenkins, a budget will come out of the House and Senate on April 15. Jenkins said because of a No Budget No Pay Act it will be more likely that a budget will be produced.

Jenkins said on May 19 the debt limit will be reached. As of Friday afternoon the Sen-ate passed a bill to temporar-ily suspend the debt limit. This will allow Congress to borrow more money.

JENKINS took time at the end of her presentation to listen to concerns of her constituents.

“Lower your bar of expec-tations,” Jenkins said. “Lit-tle will happen in the next two years.”

When asked if she thought a stricter gun law would be passed, Jenkins said “I don’t think it will. I would be shocked if it did. If I am optimistic about anything that. You don’t mess with people’s Second Amendment rights.”

H StandoffContinued from A1that he knew Dykes “had told part of his family to go to hell.”

Midland City Mayor Virgil Skipper said Dykes’ sister is in a nursing home. Adams said that law en-forcement officers have talked to Dykes’ family members and advised them not to speak with report-ers, and that officers told his sister there was noth-ing she could do to help the child in the bunker.

Government records and interviews with neigh-bors indicate that Dykes joined the Navy in Midland City, serving on active duty from 1964 to 1969. His re-cord shows several awards, including the Vietnam Ser-vice Medal and the Good Conduct Medal. Dykes was trained in aviation mainte-nance and at one point was based in Japan.

At some point after his time in the Navy, Dykes lived in Florida, where he worked as a surveyor and a long-haul truck driver. It’s unclear how long he stayed there.

He had some scrapes with the law in Florida, including a 1995 arrest for improper exhibition of a weapon. The misdemeanor was dismissed. He also was

arrested for marijuana possession in 2000.

He returned to Alabama about two years ago, mov-ing onto the rural tract about 100 yards from his nearest neighbors, Mi-chael Creel and his father, Greg.

Neighbors described Dykes as a man who once beat a dog to death with a lead pipe, threatened to shoot children for setting foot on his property, and patrolled his yard at night with a flashlight and a fire-arm. Michael Creel said Dykes had an adult daugh-ter, but the two lost touch years ago.

His property has a white trailer that, according to Creel, Dykes said he bought from FEMA after it was used to house evacuees from Hurricane Katrina. The property also has a steel shipping container — like those on container ships — in which Dykes

stores tools and supplies.Next to the container

is the underground bun-ker where authorities say Dykes is holed up with the 5-year-old. Neighbors say the bunker has a pipe so Dykes could hear people coming near his driveway. Authorities have been us-ing the ventilation pipe to communicate with him.

The younger Creel, who said he helped Dykes with supplies to build the bunker and has been in it twice, said Dykes wanted protection from hurri-canes.

“He said he lived in Flor-ida and had hurricanes hit. He wanted someplace he could go down in and be safe,” Creel said. Authori-ties say the bunker is about 6 feet by 8 feet, and the only entrance is a trap door at the top.

Michael Creel said Dykes kept to himself and listened to a lot of conser-

vative talk radio.“He was very into what’s

going on with the nation and the politics and all the laws being made. The things he didn’t agree with, he would ventilate,” he said.

James Arrington, police chief of the neighboring town of Pinckard, put it differently.

“He’s against the gov-ernment, starting with Obama on down,” he said.

Morris Dees of South-ern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery, a group that tracks hate crimes, said Dykes was not on the group’s radar.

Although the fatal shoot-ings in December at a school in Newtown, Conn., are still on everyone’s mind, Dees said he doesn’t think Dykes was trying to be a copycat.

“Probably not. He had a whole bus load full of kids, and he could have walked up there and shot the whole crowd of them,” he said.

“I think he’s just a really angry and bitter guy with some anger management issues,” Dees said. “He is just against everything — the government and his neighbors.”

Burger cupcakesIt’s not what it sounds like — the cupcakes only look

like burgers. These are a fun idea for a child’s birthday and if you are brave enough you can even let the kids make their own. Make vanilla cupcakes in advance, sprinkle some sesame seeds over them to give them the “bun” look, then pipe in a chocolate icing. With a few drops of food coloring you can make mustard and ketchup. You will be an instant hit with the young ones.

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — The Alaskan Brewing Co. is going green, but instead of looking to solar and wind en-ergy, it has turned to a very familiar source: beer.

The Juneau-based beer maker has installed a unique boiler system in order to cut its fuel costs. It purchased a $1.8 million furnace that burns the company’s spent grain — the waste accu-mulated from the brewing process — into steam which powers the majority of the brewery’s operations.

Company officials now

joke they are now serving “beer-powered beer.”

What to do with spent grain was seemingly solved decades ago by breweries operating in the Lower 48. Most send the used grain, a good source of protein, to nearby farms and ranches to be used as animal feed.

But there are only 37 farms in southeast Alaska and 680 in the entire state as of 2011, and the problem of what to do with the excess spent grain — made up of the residual malt and barley — became more problematic after the brewery expanded in 1995.

The Alaskan Brewing Co. had to resort to shipping its spent grain to buyers in the Lower 48. Shipping costs for Juneau businesses are espe-cially high because there are no roads leading in or out of the city; everything has to be flown or shipped in. How-ever, the grain is a relatively wet byproduct of brewing, so it needs to be dried before it is shipped — another heat intensive and expensive pro-

cess.“We had to be a little more

innovative just so that we could do what we love to do, but do it where we’re lo-cated,” Alaskan Brewing co-founder Geoff Larson said.

But the company was barely turning a profit by selling its spent grain. Alas-kan Brewery gets $60 for every ton of it sent to farms in the Lower 48, but it costs them $30 to ship each ton.

Alaskan brewery now powered by beer

I think he’s just a really angry and bitter guy with some anger management issues. He is just against everything — the govern-ment and his neighbors.

Register/Richard LukenAllen Community College’s Bryce Schippers, right, puts up a shot in a game earlier this season. On Saturday, Schippers scored 11 points in the Red Devils’ 66-60 loss at Highland.

HIGHLAND — Allen Commu-nity College’s women gave the nation’s 11th-ranked team all it could handle and more Saturday.

Were it not for some missed free throws and costly turnovers, the Red Devils well could have claimed a victory.

Allen missed three free throws in the game’s final minute, and committed an uncharacteristic 16 turnovers during the game. High-land took full advantage to escape with a 56-50 victory.

“You just can’t do that kind of thing if you expect to beat one of the top teams, in not just the conference, but in the nation,” Red Devil coach Mark James said. “Poor free throw shooting and turnovers are things we have been able to avoid for the most part this season.”

The Red Devils held a 25-24 lead at halftime, and was on top by two points with two minutes left, James said.

DaNara Day drilled four 3-pointers on the way to a team-high 15 points for Allen, fol-lowed by Ebonie Jones with eight points. Miracle Davis and Kayla Morton each had three assists. Morton and Hannah Blackwell each pulled down eight rebounds.

The Red Devils hit the road Wednesday to face Independence.

Scotties hold off Red Devil women

HIGHLAND — A spirited comeback came up just short Saturday for Allen Community College’s men.

The Red Devils, after strug-gling mightily to start their game against Highland, picked up the pace after intermission.

The Red Devils erased a 12-point halftime deficit, and even took the lead midway through the second half.

But Highland responded with

another kick regaining a dou-ble-digit advantage from there. Allen embarked on a second comeback, but ran out of time in a 66-60 loss.

The defeat keeps the Red Dev-ils winless in Jayhawk Confer-ence Eastern Division play.

“Allen played much harder on both ends of the floor,” Red Devil coach Andy Shaw said.

SILVER LAKE — Saturday’s tournament at Silver Lake offered Iola High’s wrestlers a prime op-portunity to see the caliber of competition expected at the up-coming regionals in two weeks.

“These are the types of wres-tlers they’ll see at regionals,” Iola coach Brad Carson said. “If you want to be the best, you’ve got to beat the best.

“I just hope a competition like this doesn’t hurt the guys’ confi-dence,” he continued. “This was a tough, tough competition.”

Only one of Iola’s wrestling contingent, Travis Rieske, placed in his respective division.

Rieske took home sixth at 160 pounds, going 2-3 on the day.

On the bright side, all but one of Iola’s wrestlers picked up at least one victory on the mat, Car-son said.

Rieske lost his opening match to Bobby Bleakly of St. Marys be-fore winning his next two match-es, pinning Colton Wagoner of Chase County in 1 minute, 45 sec-onds, and Jake Trumbly of An-derson County in 3:14.

Ponies pick up winsINDEPENDENCE — Iola

Middle School’s eighth-grade A team received contributions from up and down its lineup Sat-urday, picking up a pair of wins in the process.

Nobody was as explosive as the Ponies’s Braden Plumlee, who scored 23 of Iola’s 33 points in its 33-27 first-round win over Royster Middle School and 23 of Iola’s 43 points in a 43-29 win over Pittsburg in the champi-onship of Independence’s IMS Winter Classic.

“Braden was aggressive to-day,” Iola coach Marty Taylor said. “He was really good in both games.”

Iola led Chanute-based Roys-ter 11-10 after one quarter and 21-17 at halftime. The lead grew to 29-21 by the end of the third period.

Chase Regehr added six and 10 rebounds for the Ponies. Gage Cleaver and Joey Zimmer-man registered two points each. Plumlee also had two rebounds.

Iola broke out quickly over Pittsburg in the championship, leading 17-6 after one quarter and 28-12 at halftime. Pittsburg played better in the second half,

K-State wins while Kansas, Wichita State fall — B4Inside:

By BARRY WILNERAP Pro Football Writer

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — For a Super Bowl with so many story lines, this game came up with quite a twist.

Try a blackout that turned a blowout into a shootout — capped by a brilliant defensive stand.

The Baltimore Ravens sur-vived a frenzied comeback by the San Francisco 49ers follow-ing a 34-minute delay in the third quarter for a power outage Sun-day night, winning their second championship 34-31. Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco threw three first-half touchdown passes, Jacoby Jones ran back the second-half kickoff a record 108 yards for a score, and star linebacker Ray Lewis’ last play fittingly was part of a defensive effort that saved the victory.

“To me, that was one of the most amazing goal-line stands I’ve ever been a part of in my ca-reer,” said Lewis, who announced a month ago he would retire when the Ravens were done playing.

They are done now, with an-other Vince Lombardi Trophy headed for the display case.

“What better way to do it,” Lewis said, “than on the Super Bowl stage?”

That stage already was loaded with plots:

—The coaching Harbaughs sib-ling rivalry, won by older brother John, who said the postgame greeting with Jim was “painful.”

—Flacco’s emergence as a top-level quarterback, and his im-pending free agency.

—Colin Kaepernick’s rapid rise in the last two months as 49ers QB.

—The big game’s return to the Big Easy for the first time in 11 years, and the first time since Hurricane Katrina ravaged the city in 2005.

—Lewis’ self-proclaimed “last ride.”

But when the Superdome lost power, well, that wasn’t in any-one’s scenario.

Flacco and the Ravens (14-6) were turning the game into a rout, leading 28-6 when, without even a flicker of warning, sever-al banks of lights and the score-boards went dark. Players from both sides stretched and chatted with each other in as bizarre a scene as any Super Bowl has wit-nessed.

“The bad part was we started talking about it,” said safety Ed

HAYS, Kan. (AP) — The student newspaper at Fort Hays State University has halted its print edi-tion after its funding was slashed.

“We can’t publish,” said Molly Walter, editor-in-chief of the newspa-per, called the Univer-sity Leader. “There’s no funds.”

The Hays Daily News reports that the Student Government Association voted last spring to cut funding to $19,750 from $32,250. Student Govern-ment leaders mentioned readership as an issue.

The last print issue was published Thursday. For the foreseeable future, the student journalists will produce news online only.

In 2003, the Student Gov-

ernment Association also pulled the plug on funding for the Reveille, the uni-versity’s yearbook.

Larry Gould, the uni-versity’s provost and chief academic officer, said the university doesn’t want to eliminate the Leader but “wanted it tied back into academic affairs.”

Before 2003, the Leader was a recognized student organization overseen by student affairs. Students working on the newspaper could enroll in a one-hour lab class run through the communication depart-ment and earn academic credit, said Linn Ann Hun-tington, professor and di-rector of journalism.

Huntington served as Leader adviser from 1990 until 2003, when the Lead-

er lab was taken out of the academic program and be-came “just an extracurric-ular activity.” That meant students no longer got aca-demic credit.

“It has been a free-stand-ing program with no con-nection to the academic program since that time,” Huntington said.

University officials are putting together a task force to discuss what should happen next. Gould said he’s looking forward to the process of crafting a “better education experi-ence” for students.

Meanwhile, the Leader staff is requesting $75,000 for the upcoming school year and would like to bring the publication back in the fall, Walter said.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A proposed amendment to the Kansas Constitution designed to stymie a pend-ing education funding law-suit won’t end the litiga-tion and could face its own legal challenge, a lawyer for the students and public school districts suing the state says.

Attorney John Robb criticizes the proposal as a “power play” by conserva-tive Republican legislators upset with past Kansas Su-preme Court rulings that the state wasn’t spending enough money on its pub-lic schools. The measure would add a new sentence to the constitution’s educa-tion article, declaring that the Legislature has the ex-clusive power to set spend-ing on schools.

The GOP-dominated Sen-ate Judiciary Committee plans to have hearings later this month on the proposed amendment. It was intro-duced last week, less than a month after a three-judge panel in Shawnee County ruled that the state isn’t meeting its constitutional obligation to suitably fund schools. Legislators would have to boost annual spend-ing by at least $440 million to comply.

But Robb, from Newton, said even if lawmakers put the measure on the ballot and voters approve it, his clients still have legal is-sues to pursue, including whether legislators were arbitrary in their deci-sions about school fund-ing. Robb represents 32 students, their parents and guardians and the Wichita, Hutchinson, Dodge City and Kansas City, Kan., school districts.

Robb also said the pro-posed statement explain-

ing the measure for voters is so misleading — and, in his mind, designed to push them to approve it — that it opens the measure to be-ing invalidated by the state Supreme Court. Robb did not rule out his clients fil-ing such a challenge if the measure is placed on the ballot or even after its ap-proval by voters.

“The Legislature ought

to be focused on what’s good for kids and not fo-cused on this power play over who is the supreme decision-maker,” Robb told The Associated Press in an interview. “They’re trying to fundamentally change our system of government in Kansas.”

Senate Judiciary Com-mittee Chairman Jeff King, an Independence Re-publican who helped draft the proposed amendment, was skeptical that it’s vul-nerable to a potential le-gal challenge. He said the amendment, if adopted, would prevent the courts from stepping into deci-sions that the constitution meant to reserve for elect-ed officials.

“Whether the Legisla-ture is making suitable provision for the financing of education rests in the hearts and minds of Kan-sas voters and at the ballot box,” King said.

The education article says that the Legislature shall “make suitable pro-

vision for finance” for the state’s “educational interests.” The proposed amendment would add a new sentence saying, “The financing of the educa-tional interests of the state is exclusively a legislative power” and “shall be estab-lished solely by the Legisla-ture.”

A proposed constitution-al change must be adopted

by two-thirds majorities in both chambers and ap-proved by a simple major-ity of voters in a statewide election. Supporters hope the measure will be on the ballot no later than the Au-gust 2014 primary.

The state Supreme Court has said the Legislature is constitutionally obligated to finance a suitable edu-cation for every child, sug-gesting in 2005 and 2006 rulings that the state could face continual increases in spending. Lawmakers dra-matically increased spend-ing on schools after those rulings but backed away from their promises dur-ing the Great Recession, prompting the lawsuit by Robb’s clients.

The Shawnee County ruling cited the Legisla-ture’s duty under the edu-cation article in saying that current school fund-ing is inadequate. The state has appealed it, and it’s not clear how quickly the Supreme Court will rule.

But Robb noted that the lower court panel didn’t decide claims that lawmak-ers were arbitrary in the past or that their actions discriminated against some students. The pro-posed amendment, if ad-opted, “isn’t going to make this lawsuit go away,” Robb said.

“It will impact this law-suit, but it won’t resolve it,” he said.

But King, an attorney who also serves as Senate vice president, said the state’s courts don’t typical-ly order additional spend-ing to remedy the other issues Robb’s clients raise.

“We are letting the vot-ers decide who has final say over appropriations for schools,” King said.

The proposed explana-tory statement says that a “no” vote would retain the current constitutional pro-vision on education and that it has been interpret-ed by the Supreme Court as allowing it to order leg-islators to spend “whatev-er amount” for schools the court deems necessary.

Robb said the statement is misleading because in past rulings, the court said the state’s school funding system was inadequate and gave lawmakers time to fix it if they increased spending in line with a study the Legislature commissioned. The court didn’t make legislative decisions or appropriate money, Robb said.

“If they bend the lan-guage politically, as it’s currently bent, they run the risk of knocking out the amendment even after it’s passed,” Robb said.

King scoffed at the criti-cism and the idea that the Supreme Court didn’t or-der lawmakers to increase spending.

School amendment could cause further suits

The Legislature ought to be focused on what’s good for kids and not focused on this pow-er play over who is the supreme decision-maker. They’re trying to fundamentally change our sys-tem of government in Kansas.

— John Robb, lawyer for public schools

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Wichita’s 99-year-old Union Station has been sold to a development com-pany that aims to restore the former train depot into a destination for people to eat, meet, dine and shop.

Occidental Manage-ment bought the building Friday from Cox Commu-nications, which had offic-es there until putting it on the market in March 2008. The property had been listed at $6.4 million, but the purchase price was not disclosed.

Gary Oborny, CEO of Occidental Management, told The Wichita Eagle his company plans to put in of-fice spaces for up to 15 ten-ants, as well as shops and at least two restaurants.

Plans also call for re-taining many of the clas-sic features, such as the marble-adorned interior and the old Fred Harvey Dining Room that oper-ated until 1937 in the ter-minal portion of the build-ing.

Oborny has experience with downtown proper-

ties and already owns the historic Occidental Ho-tel, Wichita’s oldest com-mercial property. He said Union Station’s location — between the Old Town entertainment district and Intrust Bank Arena — was a major selling point.

He and partner Chad Stafford hope to mar-ket the interior to firms that want downtown of-fice space and to retailers and restaurateurs hoping to capitalize on visitors heading to ballgames or concerts at the arena.

Dear Carolyn:Last fall you had a col-

umn about a high school perfectionist who could have been me. I’m now in my 30s and long since healed thanks to great friends, an amazing thera-pist and a lot of time. But I’m afraid my own daughter will go through what I went through. I can remember feeling guilty about letting people down when I was a toddler (although high school is where the pres-sure compounded into an eating disorder).

As a parent, how do you see that and offer help ... preferably long before it reaches such a crisis point? How do I make sure my kids know they are great even

when they aren’t perfect? — Healed Perfectionist

Answer: A big part of it is to praise them for things they control, like hard work, vs. their gifts (looks, talent, intellect). The open-ing chapter of “Nurture Shock” (Bronson/Merry-man) covers this nicely. Kids also need age-appro-priate responsibilities so they derive self-worth through contributing, as opposed to winning or los-

ing.And since perfectionist

tendencies are so deeply rooted in feelings and the validity thereof, also try, “How to Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk” (Faber/Mazlish).

Sorry to kick you to long-er discourses on the topic, but raising kids to accept their flaws and feel comfort-able sharing uncomfortable truths is not a column-size answer. It’s a style of com-munication oriented toward validating feelings without compromising toughness.

Give yourself some cred-it, too. You know what the pressure to be perfect feels like, and probably also un-derstand what in your child-hood environment caused

it. That’s a blueprint for what to avoid.Re: Perfectionists:

Now in my 30s, I real-ize quite a few of my prob-lems with self-esteem and relationships stem from my parents’ not only be-ing difficult to please, but from their reluctance to let my sister and me express a range of emotions. An ado-lescent might in anger tell you (shout, really) she hates you, but that is not a pun-ishable offense. A kid that age typically doesn’t know how to express emotions — particularly the negative ones — without offending everyone around them. The parent getting angry about that just teaches children to suppress/hide emotion.

“I’m really proud of how well Adam did,” Carson said. “We put in some JV matches a couple of weeks ago, and he’s bounced back nicely.”

Cody Conner (145 pounds), Zeph Larney (152), and Bryce Misenhel-ter (172) all went 1-2, losing their first matches of the day, winning their second and dropping out of the competition with a loss in their third matches.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Markel Brown scored 28 points, Marcus Smart added 25 and Oklahoma State held on to upset No. 2 Kansas 85-80 on Saturday, ending the Jayhawks’ nation-leading 18-game winning streak.

Smart had a pair of key put-backs in the closing minutes, helping the Cow-boys (15-5, 5-3 Big 12) go on a 13-2 run that turned a 66-62 deficit into a 73-68 lead with just over a minute left.

The Jayhawks (19-2, 7-1) trimmed it to 81-80 on a layup by Elijah Johnson with 18.8 seconds left. But Phil Forte, an 89-percent foul shooter, made both of his tries with 7.9 seconds to go, and Johnson turned the ball over before Kansas could try a tying 3-pointer.

It was the Cowboys’ first

road win over a top-5 team since beating then-No. 2 Kansas 52-50 in overtime on Jan. 2, 1958.

Ben McLemore had 23 points to lead the Jayhawks, who also had their 33-game home winning streak come to an end.

IN NORMAN, Okla., An-gel Rodriguez hit two free throws with 5.6 seconds remaining to give No. 18 Kansas State a 52-50 victory over Oklahoma.

The free throws ended an 8-0 run by the Sooners in the final two minutes that tied the game with 13 sec-onds to play.

With Oklahoma trailing 50-42, Romero Osby scored the last of his 13 points on a three-point play to pull the Sooners within five with 1:58 to go. Sam Grooms then tied it with a 3-pointer and a driving layup in the final minute.

Rodriguez was fouled on

a jumper in the lane and made both free throws to put the Wildcats back in the lead. Grooms had a chance to win it for the Sooners, but his 3-point attempt at the buzzer was short.

Will Spradling led the Wildcats (17-4, 6-2) with 12 points.

Osby had 13 points for the Sooners (14-6, 5-3).

IN CEDAR Falls, Iowa, Anthony James scored 16 points and Northern Iowa beat 15th-ranked Wichita State 57-52 on Saturday, sending the Shockers into their first losing streak of the season.

Seth Tuttle had eight points, eight rebounds and four blocks for the Panthers (12-11, 5-6 Missouri Valley Conference). They took control with a 14-0 run in the second half and became just the fourth Valley team in the last 23 games to beat Wichita State at home.

OSU stuns Jayhawksto David Akers’ 34-yard field goal, but Baltimore woke up for a long drive leading to rookie Justin Tucker’s 19-yard field goal.

San Francisco wasn’t done challenging, though, and Kaepernick’s 15-yard TD run, the longest for a quarterback in a Super Bowl, made it 31-29. A 2-point conversion pass failed when the Ravens blitzed.

Tucker added a 38-yard-er with 4:19 remaining, setting up the frantic fin-ish.

Kaepernick couldn’t get the 49ers into the end zone on the final three plays. The last was a pass into the right corner of the end zone to Crabtree that involved some incidental bumping. Jim Harbaugh insisted a flag should have been thrown.

“There’s no question in my mind that there was a pass interference and then a hold,” Jim Harbaugh said.

Ravens punter Sam Koch took a safety for the final score with 4 seconds left.

Koch’s free kick was re-turned by Ginn to midfield as time ran out.

“How could it be any other way? It’s never pret-ty. It’s never perfect. But it’s us,” John Harbaugh said of his Ravens. “It was us today.”

Barely.“Yeah, I think that last

drive when we got the ball and had time to go down and score a touchdown,” Kaepernick said, “we thought it was our game.”

But the championship is Baltimore’s.

As for the foul-up at America’s biggest sport-ing event, officials re-vealed that an “abnormal-ity” in the power system triggered an automatic

shutdown, forcing backup systems to kick in. But no one was sure what caused the initial problem.

Everything changed af-ter that until Lewis and Co. shut it down. But there were plenty of white-knuckle moments and the Ravens had to make four stops in-side their 7 at the end.
