TMP Falls to Larned

Posted on

A Friday Night trip to Larned didn’t turn out well for the TMP football teams as they lose 31-21 to the Indians.  TMP led most of the way through the first half until Larned scored with just over 4 seconds in the second quarter to take an 18-14 lead at the half.

The Indians scored first in the third quarter and led by 10 until TMP inched to within 3 points with a Nick Schmidt touchdown with a little over 3 minutes to go in the 3rd Quarter.  Larned would answer right back on their next play from scrimmage with a 66 yard touchdown run and took a 31-21 lead late in the 3rd Quarter which proved too much for the Monarchs to overcome.

TMP is now 1-2 on the season and 1-1 in the Mid-Central Activities Association.  It’s homecoming next week for TMP as they host Ellsworth at Lewis Field Stadium.

One Dead in Shooting at Kauffman Stadium

Posted on

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – One man is dead and a woman is injured after a shooting at Kauffman Stadium, reports KSHB-TV.

The shooting occurred around 3:23 p.m. Friday. The man shot the woman, who worked as a parking attendant, before killing himself in Lot A, according to Kansas City Police.

When officers got to the scene, they found the injured woman in the parking lot. They found the man dead in a nearby car.

Police say the woman is in critical condition. Both victims were in their 40s and appeared to know each other before the incident. Their exact relationship is unclear.

Fans approaching the stadium from the east for Friday night’s Royals-Angels game should enter through gates three and four.

Kansas Man Drops Objection to Obama on Ballot

Posted on

Topeka — A Kansas man said Friday that he’s dropping his objection to President Barack Obama being listed on the state’s November ballot, a day after top officials delayed a decision on his challenge and said they wanted to gather additional information.

Joe Montgomery, a 51-year-old Manhattan resident, told the Kansas secretary of state’s office in an email that he and those around him faced “animosity and intimidation” over his objection to Obama’s candidacy for re-election. Montgomery argues that Obama is not eligible to serve as president and questions whether Obama has a valid birth certificate.

The notion that Obama was born anywhere other than in Hawaii has long been discredited, and the White House released his long-form birth certificate last year. Hawaii officials also have repeatedly confirmed his citizenship. His mother was a Kansas native.

The State Objections Board reviewed Montgomery’s objection Thursday to the president’s candidacy but postponed a decision so the secretary of state’s office could obtain documents authenticating a copy of Obama’s birth certificate from Hawaii that’s available online. Secretary of State Kris Kobach serves as the board’s chairman, along with Attorney General Derek Schmidt and Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer,  all Republicans.  Montgomery is a registered Republican, according the secretary of state’s office..

Montgomery’s plans to drop his challenge were first reported by the Manhattan Mercury.

Kobach said the board still will meet Monday to formally close the case and add whatever additional information is available to the record.

Kansas State University confirmed Friday that Montgomery works as the communications coordinator for its College of Veterinary Medicine, a position financed privately through its nonprofit, fundraising arm, the Kansas State University Foundation.

Kansas Man Appeals Sexting Sentence

Posted on

A Wichita man is appealing his nearly 27-year federal prison sentence for enticing a 14-year-old girl into texting him a nude photo of herself.

Twenty-six-year-old Shane McClelland filed a notice of appeal in the sexting case Monday with the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

A federal jury convicted McClelland in May of obtaining the picture via cellphone from the girl, who lives in upstate New York. He was acquitted of a similar count involving another teen.

U.S. District Judge Monti Belot sentenced McClelland last month under enhanced penalties as a repeat sex offender.
