Hays High boys win; girls fall to Abilene

The Hays High Indians split a pair of non-conference games Tuesday night at home with the Abilene Cowboys and Cowgirls.

Abilene 58, Hays 39

The Hays High Lady Indians could not overcome a late first quarter run by the Abilene Cowgirls as they fall 58-39 Tuesday night in Hays.

Hays took an early 6-5 lead on back-to-back field goals early in the first quarter but Abilene answered with a 9-0 capped off by a McKenzie Funston 3-pointer putting the Cowgirls up 14-6 and they would lead by nine after the first quarter.

Talyn Kleweno cut the deficit eight after a steal led to a three-point play at 20-12 but that would be as close as the Indians would get the rest of the way. Abilene closed the first half on a 13-4 run and led 35-16 at half.

Game highlights

The Cowgirls extended their lead in the second half and led by 24 early in the fourth quarter on their way to the win.

Abilene jumped out to an early 6-3 but Hays came storming back to take an 11-6 lead thanks to Isaiah Nunnery who scored the Indians first eight points, and a three from Shane Berens. The Indians made five-of-nine from behind the arc in the first quarter and led 19-14 after one.

Abilene outscored the Indians by four in the second quarter and had the lead when Keith Dryden hit a three-pointer to beat the halftime buzzer putting the Indians up 32-31 at half.

The Indians open the second half on a 12-5 run behind six points from Dryden putting the Indians up 44-36 and they would never trail again.

Game highlights


Hays led by as many as 12 in the fourth quarter before the Cowboys cut the deficit to six but the Indians finished six-of-six at the free throw line in the fourth quarter on their way to the 63-54 win.

Kansas State beats TCU to end league road loss streak

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) – Justin Edwards scored 17 points as Kansas State beat TCU 63-49 Tuesday night to snap a 13-game losing streak in Big 12 road games.

Kansas State (15-11, 4-9) last won a conference road game on Jan. 10, 2015 at Oklahoma.

The Wildcats improved their road record this season to 2-7. Their other win came at Georgia on Dec. 4.

Barry Brown added 16 points and Dean Wade 14 for the Wildcats.

Malique Trent led the Horned Frogs (11-15, 2-11) with 11 points and grabbed seven rebounds.

The 14-point win was Kansas State’s largest since it beat Oklahoma State 89-73 on Jan. 23.

The Wildcats won despite shooting only 38.8 percent, holding the Frogs to 32.7 percent. TCU, last in conference scoring at 60.5 points going into the game, failed to break 50 for the second straight game. The Frogs lost 73-42 at West Virginia on Saturday.

Report: Welfare reforms in Kansas lifting residents out of poverty

fgaDCF

TOPEKA–A new report from the Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA), focuses on welfare reforms in Kansas and how they have positively impacted low-income residents who previously relied on food assistance. Among some of the findings, before work requirements, 93 percent of able-bodied adults without dependent children (ABAWDs) on welfare were in poverty. Most were in severe poverty and not working at all. Within one year of leaving welfare, their incomes had more than doubled, an increase of 127 percent on average.

“Our staff worked closely with FGA to supply data,” said Kansas Department for Children and Families (DCF) Secretary Phyllis Gilmore. “We are pleased to see the information shared turned into a meaningful report that demonstrates for Kansas and the rest of the nation that employment is the most effective path out of poverty. And our reforms, led by Governor Sam Brownback, are empowering Kansans to achieve self-reliance.”

In September 2013, Kansas announced, as one of few states at the time, that it would allow a federal waiver to expire that made it possible for able-bodied adults between the ages of 18 and 49 to receive food assistance with no work requirement. Since Kansas made that important decision, other states have followed our lead.

Additionally, in 2015, Governor Brownback signed into law the most comprehensive welfare reform in the nation that not only added permanency to existing work requirements, but also added additional regulations to strengthen the integrity of the welfare benefits system in Kansas.

FGA found these reforms to be fiscally responsible for taxpayers. They also showed the reforms to offer Kansans previously locked into dependence on government-funded programs, a way out of poverty.

“The Kansas data clearly shows the best way to help able-bodied adults who are trapped in welfare is to get them back to work as quickly as possible,” said Johnathan Ingram, FGA Vice President of Research. “The more time people spend on welfare, the harder it is for them to get a job. But once they get back to work, their earnings skyrocket and they create a better life for themselves than welfare ever could. To policymakers who want to lift Americans out of the poverty trap—Kansas has shown you the way.”

Here’s a complete look at the report, The Power of Work: How Kansas’ Welfare Reform is Lifting Americans Out of Poverty.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — More than half of the Republicans in the Kansas Senate have signed a letter asking President Susan Wagle to reinstate the former chairwoman of the chamber’s health committee.

Senators signing the letter circulated on Tuesday included Majority Leader Terry Bruce of Nickerson. The Associated Press obtained a copy signed by 17 of the 32 GOP senators.

They want Wagle to reinstate Republican Sen. Mary Pilcher-Cook of Shawnee as chairwoman of the Public Health and Welfare Committee.

The Wichita Republican removed Pilcher-Cook on Friday over an attempt by Pilcher-Cook last week to force a Senate debate on a proposal to expand the state’s Medicaid program in line with the federal health overhaul.

Pilcher-Cook wanted the proposal to fail. Wagle said the move showed disrespect to the chamber.

FTC: Buyers of pitchman’s bogus weight-loss book to get refunds

Kevin Trudeau-coutesy photo

CHICAGO (AP) — Federal authorities are poised to begin compensating customers who purchased a fraudulent weight-loss book from imprisoned infomercial pitchman Kevin Trudeau.

The Chicago Tribune reports that a Federal Trade Commission said in a court filing last week that it will start mailing refund checks within 30 days. It said almost 1.27 million people purchased the book.

Trudeau was sentenced in 2014 to a 10-year prison term after jurors agreed he bilked consumers through infomercials for “The Weight Loss Cure ‘They’ Don’t Want You to Know About.” Prosecutors say the book generated $39 million in revenue.

The refund money will come from about $8 million worth of Trudeau’s assets that were recovered by a court-appointed receiver last summer.
