Griffons top Tiger baseball in doubleheader

Posted on

EDMOND, Okla. – The Fort Hays State baseball team wrapped up its first conference series with a pair of losses Monday afternoon against Missouri Western (5-5, 3-0), falling 11-1 in the opener before dropping the nightcap 20-3. The Tigers (0-11, 0-3) are scheduled to return home to play Southwest Baptist next weekend, but field conditions could force another round of schedule changes. Stay tuned to fhsuathletics.com for the latest information.

Game One: Missouri Western 11, Fort Hays State 1 (7 innings)
The Tigers could never quite get started in the opener, collecting four hits while allowing seven Griffon base knocks. MWSU scored one in the first before adding four in the third to go up 5-0 before the Tigers put together their first rally. Jordan Wilkerson led off with a double before Isaac Soares reached on an error. Tyler Olson later singled to load the bases before Dawson Sramek drew a walk, helping FHSU close within 5-1.

FHSU managed just one hit after the fourth inning, giving Missouri Western the chance to pull away with six more runs.

Marcus McDaniel and Sramek also collected singles in the loss. Cole Zimmerman (0-3) was credited with the loss after allowing eight runs (seven earned) on five hits over 3.1 innings of work. He struck out three batters while Cody Rottinghaus struck out four in 3.1 innings of relief, giving up three runs on two hits.

Game Two: Missouri Western 20, Fort Hays State 3 (7 innings)
While Fort Hays State collected just four hits for the second game in a row, Missouri Western turned up the intensity at the plate to the tune of 16 hits and six home runs.

Missouri Western got things rolling in the first inning for the second game in a row, plating two runs in the home half of the first. Fort Hays State looked to have a chance to respond early when two walks and a double loaded the bases with no outs in the top of the second. But three batters later the Griffons were out of the inning unscathed, and the Tigers next came up to the plate trailing 11-0.

Taylan Mullins-Ohm got the Tigers on the board after a two-run double scored Tyler Olson and Marcus Altman in the top of the third, making the score 11-2. Fort Hays State added a run in the seventh when Caleb Egan legged out a pinch-hit, one out triple. Ryan Stoecklein lifted a sacrifice fly to right one batter later, scoring Egan from third.

Mullins-Ohm finished 2-for-2 with a walk and two RBI. Garrett Francis collected the other Tiger hit, doubling to left in his first at bat. Jake Taylor (0-2) took the loss after surrendering nine runs (seven earned) on six hits over 1.2 innings of work.

SALINE COUNTY — Law enforcement authorities are investigating a series of alleged car thefts and have a suspect in custody

Buster photo Saline Co.

On Friday, police responded to Bennett Buick, 651 South Ohio, in Salina to investigate a report of a 2016 Dodge Charger SXT worth $20,000 missing from the dealership, according to police Sergeant David Villanueva.  Surveillance video showed the car being driven off the dealer’s lot at 1:30a.m. February 21, and twice on February 18.   The video also showed the car returning at 1:34p.m. and also 6:59p.m. February 18.

Police located a suspect identified as 34-year-old Jason Buster standing behind the Charger in the 1300 block of Cheyenne Street in Salina. They also found person property that belonged to Buster in the car. He also had the keys to the Charger in his pocket.

Buster was arrested on requested charges of vehicle deprivation and felony theft.

Man who made hoax 911 call that led to fatal Kan. shooting asks for forgiveness

Posted on

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A California man has asked for 20 years in prison as his punishment for making a hoax call that led police to fatally shoot a Kansas man following a dispute between two online gamers over $1.50 bet in a Call of Duty WWII video game.

Barriss is now being held in Harvey County

Tyler R. Barriss, 26, faces sentencing Friday in federal court in Wichita for making the false report resulting in a death. His attorney argued in a sentencing memorandum that Barriss never intended for anyone to get hurt and his conduct was an outgrowth of the culture within the gaming community.

As part of the plea agreement with federal prosecutors, Barriss pleaded guilty in November to a total of 51 federal charges that included some initially filed in California and the District of Columbia related to other fake calls and threats. He seeks the shortest term allowed in that plea deal which calls for 20 to 25 years in federal prison.

Defense attorney Rich Federico portrayed his client as sincerely remorseful for calling Wichita police from Los Angeles on Dec. 28, 2017, to falsely report a shooting and kidnapping at a Wichita address. A police officer responding to the call fatally shot Andrew Finch, 28, after he opened the door. Finch, who was not playing video games, lived at the gamer’s old address.

In a letter to the Finch family, Barriss wrote that he thinks every day about how his actions led to his death. He asked for forgiveness and expressed his “hope that my sentence may in some way help you feel better that justice is done,” according to the filing.

Swatting is a form of retaliation sometimes used by gamers, who call police and make a false report to send first responders to an online opponent’s address.

Barriss’ defense attorney argued that the notoriety of being a known swatter within the gaming community “became an intoxicant” to him and incrementally desensitized him to real world consequences. As a young man, he spent almost all of his time indoors playing video games. His only family was his grandmother. He was homeschooled until he quit school altogether. Barriss has never had a job. At the time of his arrest he was living in a homeless shelter in Los Angeles.

“With no guidance, no structure, school, or employment, Mr. Barriss had video games,” Federico wrote. “The game Halo became his salve to social acceptance in a virtual world.”

It is unclear what will become of separate Kansas charges. Barriss is scheduled for a March 4 trial in Sedgwick County District Court on state charges of involuntary manslaughter , giving a false alarm and interference with a law enforcement officer.

Also charged as co-conspirators in the federal case in Kansas in connection to the deadly swatting call are online gamers Casey Viner, 18, of North College Hill, Ohio, and Shane Gaskill, 20, of Wichita. They have pleaded not guilty to charges including conspiracy to obstruct justice, wire fraud and other counts. Their trial is scheduled for March 19 in U.S. District Court in Wichita.

Laddie E. Merryfield

Posted on

Laddie E. Merryfield, 87, formerly of Russell, Kansas, died on Saturday, Feb. 23, 2019, in Lenexa, Kansas.

Laddie was born to Clyde E. and Virginia C. (Emery) Merryfield on October 20, 1931 in Minneapolis, Kansas.

He graduated from Minneapolis High School in 1949. Laddie married Lola Mae Rasmussen on June 1, 1950 and together they enjoyed a lasting marriage of over 50 years. Laddie and Lola Mae moved to Lindsey, Kansas where they planned to be farmers.

The flood of 1951 changed those plans, and Laddie enlisted in the United States Air Force later that year. After training in Natchitoches, Louisiana, Laddie was sent to Wichita Falls, Texas, for training and service as an Airman First Class for four years.

Laddie and Lola Mae’s first son, David, was born there in 1953. Laddie was then posted to McClellan Air Force Base in Sacramento, California. His service ended in 1955, and he and Lola Mae decided to return to Kansas to be closer to family. Laddie was offered the State Farm Insurance agency in Russell, Kansas, a job he held for the next 40 years. 

Soon after arriving in Russell, their second son, Roger, was born in 1957. While raising their family, Laddie and Lola Mae built his State Farm agency into a successful business that continues today.  Laddie was an active member of the community and contributed in multiple ways, including constructing two office buildings on Main Street, and serving in leadership roles for both the Kiwanis Club and St. John’s Lutheran Church.

Laddie retired from State Farm in 1996. In early retirement in Russell, Laddie enjoyed bridge, gardening and woodworking, building heirlooms for his children and grandchildren at his shop. 

In 2003, Laddie and Lola Mae moved to Lakeview Village, a retirement community in Lenexa, Kansas. They didn’t have long together at Lakeview, as Lola Mae was diagnosed with lymphoma and passed away in 2005. Laddie later met and married Sally Stokes in 2008 and they enjoyed an active life at Lakeview, including volunteering at the Lakeview thrift shop. Sally’s family embraced Laddie and he enjoyed his time with them. As Laddie’s needs increased, Sally served as his truly loyal caregiver.

Laddie was predeceased by his parents, his brother Ronald, his sister Trula (Merryfield) Cox and his first wife, Lola Mae (Rasmussen) Merryfield.

He is survived by his wife, Sally (Stokes) Merryfield, his son, David Merryfield (Sue), his son, Roger Merryfield (Zoann), his stepsons Steve Stokes (Karen) and Stan Stokes (Donna), his grandchildren Jessica (Merryfield) Blanford (Adam), Alex Merryfield (Stephanie Grass), Cassandra Merryfield (fiancè Julian Garcia) and Spencer Merryfield (Jacquelyn); his step-grandchildren Erica Stokes Spielbusch (Donovan), Shawna Patch (Andrew), Jaymie Davis (Tyler), Scott Dixon, Joel Dixon (Sarah), Will Dixon (Melissa), two great-grandchildren and nine step-great-grandchildren.

A gathering service will be from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, March 2, 2019 at Pohlman-Varner-Peeler Mortuary in Russell, Kansas. A private inurnment of the ashes will be performed at a later date. 

Memorials have been established to the St. John’s Lutheran Cemetery in Russell or to the Good Samaritan Fund—Lakeview Village Foundation.

Donations may be sent in care of the mortuary at 610 N. Maple, Russell, KS 67665. If you are moved to remember Laddie, we encourage donations in lieu of flowers.

Pohlman-Varner-Peeler Mortuary of Russell, Kansas, is in charge of the funeral service arrangements.

News from the Oil Patch, Feb. 25

Posted on

By JOHN P. TRETBAR

Kansas Common crude at CHS in McPherson gained a quarter Friday (2/22) to $47.50 per barrel. That’s two dollars more than at the start of the month, and $12 more than the price at the first of the year.

Baker Hughes reported 1,047 active drilling rigs across the U.S. last week, down four oil rigs. Oklahoma’s rig count was down two, while Texas, New Mexico and Colorado each dropped by one rig.

Rig count totals from Independent Oil & Gas Service were unchanged last week, with three active rigs east of Wichita and 26 in Western Kansas. Operators are about to spud one new well in Barton County and one in Russell County.

Regulators approved 15 permits for drilling at new locations across the state last week, three east of Wichita and 12 in Western Kansas. One new permit was filed in Barton County.

Operators reported 26 new well completions last week, 11 in eastern Kansas and 15 west of Wichita. There were completions noted in Barton and Russell counties, but both were dry holes.

Alberta, Canada is preparing a giant oil-by-rail operation to help its oil-sands producers cope with a pipeline crunch. Reuters reports the Canadian province expects a big profit from the venture. Alberta holds the world’s third-largest crude reserves, but has been losing money because of shortages in pipeline takeaway capacity. Premier Rachel Notley has taken numerous steps to turn that around, including mandatory production cuts, and the railroad operation. They will spend roughly $2.8 billion (US) to lease tanker cars and buy service from rail providers. Officials expect to get a $4.48 billion return, or a net profit o $1.7 billion.

Lawmakers in Texas learned that the state agency responsible for plugging abandoned oil and gas wells can’t seal them as quickly as they’re being abandoned. During the last legislative session, regulators said there were around 10,000 such wells in the state, and lawmakers gave them more money to plug them. Observers say the problem is getting worse. Out of 440,000 wells in the state, about 130,000 aren’t producing and will eventually be abandoned.

Lawmakers in North Dakota are considering quite a few new measures for the oil patch. House members approved “Operation Prairie Dog,” a bill that would distribute up to $250 million from oil tax revenue to cities, counties, townships and airports for infrastructure projects throughout North Dakota. The North Dakota Senate opted to keep a provision in oil tax policy that requires companies to pay more taxes when oil prices rise. A bill that sets the groundwork for a new oil tax agreement with three native tribes in North Dakota passed the state Senate Wednesday. It’s projected to send an additional $33 million in oil tax revenue to the tribes. The House approved legislation Thursday that would use money from the voter-approved oil tax savings account to help offset income taxes.

U.S. operators shipped 7,645 tanker cars in petroleum and petroleum products last week, an increase of 17.8%. The Association of American Railroads says the running total so far this year is up 23% over the same period last year. Canada continues to increase its oil-by-rail shipments as well, posting an increase of 6.5% last week, and a 23.5% increase in the running total.

Russia’s third-largest bank has frozen the accounts of Venezuelan state oil company PDVSA. Reuters reports Gazprombank halted transactions with the firm to avoid U.S. sanctions. The Venezuelans have labeled the story “fake news.” The Kremlin has been among Venezuela’s staunchest supporters.

Continental Resources reported annual profits of nearly $1 billion in 2018. The Oklahoma-based shale producer posted net income for the year of $988 million. Company officials say they boosted average daily total production to more than 298-thousand barrels, an increase of 23 percent over the year before. The company reported production in North Dakota’s Bakken shale of more than 183-thousand barrels per day during the last three months of the year.

The Texas oil and gas industry paid more than $14 billion in state and local taxes and state royalties in fiscal year 2018. According to the Texas Oil and Gas Association that’s an increase of 27 percent from fiscal year 2017, and the second-highest total in Texas history. Since 2007 the industry paid over $133 billion in taxes and royalties.

A spike in drilling permit applications, and increases in court challenges, have created a backlog that regulators in Colorado say could take up to three years to clear. At the end of January the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission had 406 pending applications on their docket. Of those, 30 percent have been protested. It doesn’t help that the COGCC is short one hearing officer, but officials say it would still likely take three years to clear the backlog, even at full staff.

After losing a court fight with the Colorado Oil & Gas Conservation Commission last month, Democrats in the state legislature will try to redefine the commission’s mission in a bill expected soon. The Colorado Springs Gazette reports they hope to place a higher priority on public health and safety. In January, the state’s highest court ruled that under current law, the commission cannot make permitting decisions based solely on health and safety, but must consider other interests. The measure is also likely to give local governments more control over permits, rather than maintaining that oversight at the state level.

The Permian Basin of Texas and New Mexico already leads the nation, and most countries, in crude-oil production. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Permian production will rise above four million barrels per day for the first time in history next month. Already the fastest-growing shale play in the U.S., the Permian is currently producing an average of 3.98 million barrels per day. Next month, EIA predicts that total will rise by 43-thousand barrels per day to 4.024 million. Total U.S. production this year will rise to 12.4 million barrels per day, according to government reports.
