HaysMed IT manager receives quarterly Associate Spirit Award

Wamser

Alan Wamser, IT manager, was recently awarded HaysMed’s quarterly Associate Spirit Award.

The Associate Spirit Award recognizes an outstanding Associate who has gone above and beyond their daily job duties to care for a patient, visitor or associate at HaysMed, part of The University of Kansas Health System.

Wamser went above and beyond when the HaysMed Foundation needed to move existing data from an old database to a new cloud-based solution. On his own personal time, he wrote a program that pulled the nearly 2000 files from the old database, assigned them to the correct donor record and pulled them into a format that could be used to import into the new database.

The solution saved the foundation countless hours of manual labor moving information from one database to another with the added benefit of eliminating any errors in aligning the data.

Wamser was awarded the traveling “Associate Spirit Stick,” $50 in chamber checks, and his own Associate Spirit Award parking spot for 90 days.

Farmer patience on tariffs comes with caution flag for Trump

WASHINGTON (AP) —Hog farmer Howard Hill is feeling the pinch from President Donald Trump’s get-tough trade policies — his pigs are selling for less than it costs to raise them. It’s a hit that Hill is willing to take for now, but his understanding also comes with a caution flag for the president.

Former Kansas congressman and current U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo addressed farmers this week in Iowa- photo courtesy U.S. Office of Secretary of State

“We have patience, but we don’t have unlimited patience,” says Hill, who raises about 7,000 hogs a year near the central Iowa town of Cambridge.

The president’s willingness to pick trade fights with multiple trading partners at once has set off volleys of retaliatory tariffs, driving down the price of pork, corn and soybeans in political bellwether Iowa and elsewhere, and contributing to a 12 percent drop in net farm income nationally last year.

At issue are trade talks with China over intellectual property theft and a new U.S. deal with Canada and Mexico to replace NAFTA that is awaiting congressional approval. Those efforts could take months to complete. So scores of farm and business groups are pressing for quicker relief, a stopgap step to help them out until the more comprehensive trade agreements are resolved. They’re urging the administration to remove Canada and Mexico from the list of nations hit with a 25 percent tariff on steel shipped to the U.S. and a 10 percent tariff placed on aluminum. Their hope is that action would give the U.S. neighbors cause to remove retaliatory tariffs they placed on U.S. goods, such as a 20 percent levy Mexico placed on U.S.-produced hams.

So far, the administration hasn’t bit on that idea, but it dispatched Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to Iowa this week to assure farmers that help is on the way.

For now, Trump is walking a political tightrope: Going to bat for steel and aluminum makers has endeared him to many voters in Ohio and Pennsylvania, where steel production is a matter of economic pride and legacy, but it could end up hurting him in ag-heavy states like Iowa and Wisconsin that backed him in 2016.

In Iowa, which casts the first votes of the presidential campaign season, state Republican Party Chairman Jeff Kauffmann said he’s surprised by how patient farmers have been with Trump. The Trump Agriculture Department did approve up to $12 billion in assistance to help compensate farmers caught up in the tariff battle.

“They all say it’s hurting,” Kauffman said of the trade disputes. “They’re all saying the stopgap relief was definitely not a cure-all, but they all understand what the president is trying to accomplish. It’s quite an interesting phenomenon.”

But the defeat of two Republican House lawmakers in last year’s midterm elections hints at some of the anxiety in farm country.

State Democratic Party Chairman Troy Price said the political climate in the state has changed since Trump defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton by 9 percentage points in 2016, in part because of trade.

“These tariffs are kind of a slow burn. People are getting more and more frustrated,” Price said. “It’s one of the reasons Donald Trump is going to lose Iowa in 2020.”

Some of the Democratic candidates for president are starting to differentiate themselves from Trump on trade when talking to Iowa voters. Sen. Kamala Harris of California has criticized the president’s “go it alone” attitude. Former Rep. John Delaney of Maryland says “we’re not going to succeed in the global economy by enacting protectionist policies.”

Still, some Democrats could have trouble seizing on the issue. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont spent much of the 2016 campaign railing against the very trade deals that Trump denigrated, calling them “disastrous” for blue-collar workers.

Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, is among the lawmakers urging the Trump administration to lift the steel and aluminum tariffs on products brought in from Canada and Mexico. He said it’s a first step to getting the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement through Congress. He also said it would improve the financial picture for farmers.

“Unfortunately we’re starting to see more and more warning signs that farmers are running out of leeway with their bankers and landlords,” Grassley said.

Pompeo sought to calm some of those nerves Monday even as he warned that Chinese theft of technology affects agriculture, too.

“The good news is this — help is on the way,” Pompeo said. “American producers and Chinese consumers will both be better off. The outcome of President Trump’s trade negotiations currently under way will pay dividends for people in each of our two countries.”

Hill said he was encouraged by Pompeo’s remarks.

“I think people recognize, particularly with China, they have not been playing by the rules for a long time,” Hill said. “I think producers are supportive of trying to correct these issues. On the other hand, we don’t want it to go on forever.”

The American Farm Bureau Federation reports that Chapter 12 farm bankruptcies in the U.S. went down in 2018 compared with prior-year levels. But it also noted that farm debt is at a record high, and that lending standards are tighter and the cost of credit is rising.

“Certainly many farmers have liquidated assets to discharge debt. How much longer can many others endure remains a question,” the farm group said.

FHSU Athletics

The third-ranked Fort Hays State women’s basketball team opens the postseason in the MIAA Championship quarterfinals against Missouri Western Thursday evening (March 7) inside historic Municipal Auditorium. First tip in Kansas City, Mo. is set for 6 p.m.

It will be the second meeting of the season between the No. 1 Tigers (27-1) and the ninth-seeded Griffons (14-15). Fort Hays State led wire-to-wire in a 67-50 home victory over MWSU earlier this season (1/24/19). It will be the first matchup between the Tigers and Griffons in the MIAA Championship.

Fort Hays State holds a 27-22 lead in the all-time series against Missouri Western, including a two-game winning streak and an 11-5 mark under Tony Hobson. Missouri Western won both previous neutral site matchups.

This is the 10th time the Tigers have qualified for the MIAA Championship and the eighth year in a row the team has booked a trip to KC in early March. Fort Hays State is 10-9 overall in the league tournament, including a 7-9 mark in Kansas City. The Tigers are 5-4 all-time in the quarterfinals, 2-1 as the No. 1 seed and 1-1 against No. 9 seeds.

The Tigers head into the postseason on a 12-game winning streak, their second double-digit win streak this season. It is just the second time the Tigers have multiple non-consecutive double-digit win streaks in program history (1990-91).

Saturday’s win was Fort Hays State’s 100th victory over the last four years, making Tatyana Legette and Carly Heim the first players in program history to win 100 or more games in their career.

Both the Tigers and Griffons had a player listed on the first team All-MIAA roster, with Legette earning MIAA Player of the Year honors and MWSU’s Katrina Roenfeldt earning a spot on the first team.

Missouri Western opened the postseason with a 55-47 win over Nebraska-Kearney Wednesday to move to 14-15 overall. The Griffons rank 12th in the league with an average of 64.3 points per game. Katrina Roenfeldt, a first team All-MIAA performer, leads the team and ranks third in the league with 16.5 points per game while pacing the Griffons with 5.1 rebounds every game. The Griffons are now 3-0 in neutral site games this season.

The winner of Thursday’s contest will advance to the semifinals on Saturday (March 9) against the winner of No. 4 Washburn and No. 6 Emporia State. First tip in that contest is also slated for 6 p.m.

Fort Hays State, the No. 4 seed in the MIAA Tournament, will face No. 5 seed Lincoln in the MIAA Tournament Quarterfinals on Friday (Mar. 8) at Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City. Tipoff is at 12 pm. FHSU enters at 18-10 overall, while Lincoln is 17-11 overall.

The Tigers enter the MIAA Tournament winners of their last two after defeating Missouri Southern and Pittsburg State at home last week. FHSU finished alone in fourth place in the MIAA at 12-7, while Lincoln was alone in fifth at 10-9. FHSU won its only regular season meeting with Lincoln this year, a 72-63 decision in Hays on February 16.

Fort Hays State is 11-11 all-time in the MIAA Tournament. Last year the Tigers went 2-1 in the tournament, winning an opening round game over Lindenwood then a thrilling overtime quarterfinal contest against Missouri Southern before falling in the semifinals to Washburn. FHSU owns a 7-4 record in quarterfinal games and this will be the first time the Tigers meet Lincoln in the MIAA Tournament.

Brady Werth led the Tigers in the first meeting with Lincoln this year, scoring 22 points and pulling down eight rebounds. Werth just became the 21st member of the 1,000-point club at FHSU in the regular season finale win over Pittsburg State. He received All-MIAA First Team honors earlier this week and enters the tournament averaging 16.7 points and 7.2 rebounds per game.

Marcus Cooper and Kyler Kinnamon also received All-MIAA honors earlier in the week, both honorable mentions. Cooper is the only other Tiger averaging double figures in scoring at 12 points per game, while Kinnamon leads the team in assists, dishing out 4.4 per game.

Lincoln’s regular starting five all averages double figures in scoring for the season, led by Terrance Smith at 16.5 points per game. Grant Olsson, who averages 10.6 per game, led the Blue Tigers in Hays earlier this year with 24 points.
