ABILENE- One person was injured in an accident involving five vehicles just before 7 p.m. on Monday in Dickinson County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reported a 2015 tractor and trailer-hauling I-beams was westbound on Interstate 70 near mile marker 279.

The vehicle traveled off the roadway, losing control of the trailer.

The trailer jackknifed and detached from the power unit.

The trailer traveled across the roadway to the north, struck the guardrail on the north side of the highway, overturned and spilled the I-beams onto the roadway. The trailer came to rest in the north ditch.

Four westbound vehicles struck an I-beam and other road debris.

One driver Constance M. Welborn, 61, Abilene, was transported to Salina Regional Medical Center.

The driver of the semi Vaughn B. Ansel, 23, Peru, IN., was not injured.

The KHP reported all were properly restrained at the time of the accident.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Firefighters have rescued a dog that fell into a partially ice-covered lake in Kansas City, Kansas.

KMBC-TV  reported Monday that police saw the canine at Big Eleven Lake and called for the city’s Fire Department’s water rescue team.

Two firefighters jumped into the frigid waters and used a lasso to capture the dog and pull it back to shore. The firefighters wore special water suits and were tethered to other personnel on land.

The dog displayed signs of signs of hypothermia after being rescued from the water. It was wrapped up and brought to a shelter.

Authorities say they’re not sure if the dog is a stray or was lost.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A Wichita high school principal says he was brought to tears after a senior prank didn’t pan out the way he expected.

A student recently asked North High principal Sherman Padgett to hold a bucket, while monitoring students passing in the hallway. He declined, joking that he feared she would dump fish eyes into it.

He reluctantly held the pail later in the next passing period after his secretary said it was part of a senior prank. Bracing himself for the unknown, the principal was surprised to find students drop notes into the container.

The Wichita Eagle reports each card featured handwritten notes from students, with expressions of gratitude, shared memories and inside jokes.

Padgett says he plans to keep all of the notes.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach is sponsoring a children’s archery tournament next month in MacLennan Park near the governor’s residence in Topeka.

Kobach’s office is holding Ad Astra Archery Tournament with the state Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism on April 25. The registration fee is $10 and participants can register online at www.sos.ks.gov/archery .

The competition is open to students in kindergarten through the 12th grade. Each participant will receive a T-shirt and a medal.

The event is named after the 20-foot-tall bronze statue of a Kanza Indian named “Ad Astra” on top of the Kansas Capitol dome.

Organizers also asked in a new release for donations for scholarships for young Kansas archers interested in attending the National Archery in the Schools championship this fall in Louisville, Kentucky.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — A northeastern Kansas man is charged in Missouri in the beating death of a man whose body was found below a cliff.

St. Joseph News-Press reports that 50-year-old Timothy Osborne of Atchison, Kansas, was charged Monday with voluntary manslaughter in the April 2014 death of William Howard Paige Jr.

Paige was 57 and from St. Joseph, Missouri, where Buchanan County prosecutors have charged Osborne.

St. Joseph police say the investigation shows that Paige was killed during a dispute.

Court records say an autopsy found that Paige died of blunt force trauma to the head.

Online court records do not show whether Osborne has an attorney to publicly discuss the charges against him.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Federal prosecutors say a man accused of plotting a suicide bomb attack at a Wichita, Kansas, airport was “well on his way” to becoming a violent terrorist before authorities began investigating him.

A heavily redacted government filing Monday seeks to counter defense arguments that an undercover FBI agent radicalized Terry Loewen. The defense contends the government conduct in the operation was entrapment and that terrorism-related charges against Loewen should be dismissed.

But prosecutors argued it would have been outrageous for the FBI to leave Terry Loewen to his own devices, trolling the internet for someone to help him.

Loewen was arrested in December 2013 when the former avionics technician tried to bring a van filled with inert explosives onto the tarmac at Mid-Continent Airport.

Loewen has pleaded not guilty.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The largest supplier of electricity in Kansas is asking state regulators to increase its rates by $152 million annually to cover upgrades at power plants and other costs.

Westar Energy Inc. of Topeka said that the request it filed Monday with the Kansas Corporation Commission would increase its rates 8 percent. It said most residential customers would see monthly costs increase by between $9 and $13.

Westar has about 700,000 customers in Kansas, including 595,000 residential ones.

The company said the higher rates would cover upgrades required by federal air pollution standards, particularly at a plant in LaCygne in east-central Kansas.

Westar also is part-owner of the Wolf Creek nuclear power plant near Burlington, and upgrades there will keep it operating until 2045.

The commission must decide by late October.

CHICAGO (AP) — A doctors’ survey says parents have increasingly sought to delay vaccines for young children. Physicians worry that makes under-vaccinated kids and others vulnerable to preventable diseases.

The findings are in a national survey of more than 500 pediatricians and family doctors released Monday in Pediatrics. Nearly all said that at least some parents of kids younger than 2 had requested vaccine delays in a typical month. One in 4 said those numbers had increased.

Most doctors said they at least sometimes agreed to the delays. Only 3 percent said they often or always tell parents who insist on vaccine delays to seek care elsewhere.

Vaccinations against 14 diseases are recommended for children under 2. Some shots combine vaccines but children may get five shots at once under the recommended schedule.
