Payless ShoeSource to shutter all of its remaining US stores

Posted on

NEW YORK (AP) — Paylesss ShoeSource is shuttering all of its 2,100 remaining stores in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, joining a list of iconic names like Toys R Us and Bon-Ton that have been shuttered in the last year.

The Topeka, Kansas-based chain said Friday it will hold liquidation sales starting Sunday and wind down its e-commerce operations. All stores will remain open until at least the end of March and the majority will remain open until May.

The debt-burdened chain filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in April 2017, closing hundreds of stores as part of its reorganization.

At the time, it had over 4,400 stores in more than 30 countries. It remerged from restructuring four months later with about 3,500 stores and eliminated more than $435 million in debt.

Tiger women go for 20th straight home win Saturday

FHSU Athletics

The fourth-ranked women’s basketball team looks to continue its winning ways Saturday (Feb. 16) when the Tigers host Lincoln University. First tip is set for 2 p.m. from Gross Memorial Coliseum.

A win Saturday would be the team’s 20th consecutive home win, good for the seventh longest active streak in Division II.

The Tigers (22-1, 13-1) currently sit two games clear of second place in the MIAA standings with just five games to go in the regular season. Lincoln, meanwhile, sits in 13th, two games back of clinching a trip to Kansas City.

Fort Hays State owns an 11-1 lead in the all-time series with Lincoln, including wins in eight straight meetings. The Tigers have never lost to their Blue brethren away from Gross Memorial Coliseum, with Lincoln’s lone win over FHSU coming in overtime in Hays seven years ago (1/21/12). Fort Hays State is 5-1 against the Blue Tigers in Hays. All 12 meetings with Lincoln have come under head coach Tony Hobson.

Lanie Page led the Tigers in scoring for a team-best seventh time Thursday, scoring 19 points in a big win over No. 25 Lindenwood. Page is one of seven Tigers to lead the team in scoring at least once this season.

The Blue Tigers bring a 10-13 overall record with them to Hays, including a 2-12 mark in MIAA play. LU has just one win in 12 outings since the start of 2019. The Blue Tigers are in the middle of the pack in the MIAA in scoring, ranking eighth in points for (67.9 ppg) and ninth in points against (63.9 ppg). They are the worst three-point shooting team in the conference, hitting 28.1 percent from deep on the year. Zhanesha Dickerson ranks second in the league in scoring and third in rebounding, posting 16.9 points and 8.1 rebounds per contest.

‘Please don’t quit’: Kansas governor tells prison workers

Posted on

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly has three words for workers at the state’s most crowded maximum-security prison: “Please don’t quit.”

Kelly spoke to more than 100 employees at El Dorado Correctional Facility on Thursday, two days after the Kansas Department of Corrections declared an emergency there. She says to “Trust that we will work this out as fast as we can.”

The prison has 95 vacant staff positions while also housing 74 inmates over its limit. It’s had multiple inmate disturbances over the past two years. Several staff members raised issues of working long hours of overtime, sometimes with few breaks, and years of no pay raises.

Interim Corrections Secretary Roger Werholtz told prison employees that “What’s happening here right now is not sustainable.”

Russell Regional Hospital CEO fired

Posted on
Rob Nahmensen

By CRISTINA JANNEY
Hays Post

The Russell Regional Hospital board has released CEO Rob Nahmensen from his contract.

Nahmensen had only been with the hospital since November 2017. Nahmensen came from Stanton County Hospital in Johnson, where he was the COO and CFO.

He said via email Friday, “The end of my employment with Russell Regional Hospital came as a complete surprise to me. The board released me from my contract without cause or warning. I felt the hospital was moving in the right direction and we were making positive changes aimed at the long-term successes of the facility. My wife and I have enjoyed our times in Russell, and we loved being part of the Russell community. I wish Russell Regional Hospital the best in their future endeavors.” 

The hospital Thursday confirmed Nahmensen was no longer employed by the hospital, but no further information was released at that time.

Russell Regional Hospital is a 25-bed nonprofit critical access hospital. It recently completed a $3.5 million infrastructure campaign, including the construction of a new physicians clinic.

The hospital is county-owned. An elected board of Russell County residents manages the hospital. The day-to-day operations of the hospital were subleased in 1997 to West Central Kansas Association Inc., a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.

DA reviewing case in fatal shooting of 9-year-old Kansas boy

Posted on

SEDGWICK COUNTY— Police presented the results of the investigation in the death of 9-year-old Roy’Ale Spencer on Thursday afternoon, according to a statement from the Sedgwick County Attorney.

Family have established a GoFundMe page after the death of Royale Spencer

Spencer and his 9-year-old friend managed to unlock a bedroom gun safe before the older boy fatally shot the younger child in a Wichita mobile home, according to officer Charley Davidson.

The family who lives in the home didn’t know that the gun was loaded when Roy’Ale Spencer was killed. Davidson said the children got into the safe after the adults in the home left for work, leaving three teens in charge. Students in Wichita public schools were out of class for Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Inside the safe were two rifle-style BB guns and one shotgun, which had ammunition in it. After Spencer was shot, one teen attempted lifesaving efforts and called 911.

The District Attorney’s office reported Thursday that Marc Bennett is reviewing the matter before making a final decision.

A Saline County deputy was northbound on North Ohio near Interstate 70 when he observed a gray 2016 Chevrolet Malibu pull out of the Flying J parking lot without its headlights on, according to Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan.

The deputy stopped the car and during the course of the discussion with the two occupants determined that something was amiss. A K-9 unit was brought in and the dog indicated that drugs were in the car.

Deputies located just over eight pounds of marijuana in vacuum-sealed bags along with drug paraphernalia and $6,600 in hundred dollar bills, according to Soldan.

WAYMASTER: From the Dome to Home, Feb. 15

Posted on
Rep. Troy Waymaster, R-Bunker Hill, 109th Dist.

KPERS Funding
Last week, two House committees examined the importance of mental health issues in Kansas. The House Children and Seniors committee heard a presentation on the Kansas Suicide Prevention Resource Center, along with an overview on the Community Health Centers across the state. The specific testimony that the Children and Seniors committee heard was regarding suicide prevention. Suicide deaths in the state of Kansas have increased by 45% from 1999 to 2016.

This committee also heard from the Community Mental Health Centers of Kansas. Currently, there are 26 licensed mental health centers across the state that service all 105 counties. The testimony that was provided stated that these Community Mental Health Centers are “the State’s public mental health safety net,” providing care to over 140,000 Kansans.

The Social Services Budget Committee was briefed on the report of the 2018 Kansas Mental Health Task Force.

This task force identified seven topics of concern regarding mental health: system transformation, maximizing Federal funding and funding from other sources, continuum of care for children and youth; nursing facilities for mental health, workforce, suicide prevention, and learning across the systems. The task force prioritized outcomes.

Budget Reports
Starting this week, the House Appropriations committee began with the budget reports from certain state departments agencies. On Monday, we heard the budgets of the Board of Cosmetology and the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System. We continued the rest of the week by having the specific budget chairs report out the budgets for the State Historical Society, State Library, Department of Commerce, State Banking Commissioner and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, just to name a few. Overall, the committee had budget reports for 16 departments or agencies. We held bill hearings this week, as well. When comprising the entire budget, we use these reports from the budget committees. The committee also conducted a bill hearing on House Bill 2121, the overall budget bill and on Senate Bill 9, the $115 million payment to KPERS that passed the Senate last week.

Kansas Department of Transportation Press Conference
After the Kansas Legislature convened in early May of 2018, I served as a member of the Joint Legislative Transportation Task Force. This task force held numerous meetings all across the state of Kansas identifying the transportation needs of all regions and generating a new transportation ten-year plan. On Wednesday, February 13, the current secretary of Transportation, Julie Lorenz and Governor Laura Kelly announced the Kansas Department of Transportation’s plans to invest $160 million in transportation funding. The $160 million derives from reducing the amount of money transferred out of the State Highway Fund.

Secretary Lorenz outlined that with the additional $160 million in Fiscal Year 2020, KDOT will:
• Increase the highway preservation investment from $350 to $400 million
• Move forward with four delayed T-WORKS projects:
o US-54 in Seward County (Expansion project; let for construction Fall 2019)
o US-169 in Anderson County (Modernization project; let for construction Fall 2019)
o US-281 in Russell County (Modernization project; let for construction Spring 2020)
o US-50 in Lyon County (Expansion Project; let for construction Spring 2020)
• Reinstate the Kansas Local Bridge Improvement Program
• Implement a new cost-share program for state/local partnerships
• Enhance its safety program
• Increase City Connecting Link maintenance payments
• Increase funding for modal programs (e.g., transit, aviation, rail and bike/pedestrian)

Bills Passed by the House
Here is a list of bills that have passed the Kansas House of Representatives during the last couple of weeks:
House Bill 2044 – This bill enacts a new income tax credit for tax years 2019 through 2023 on goods and services purchased from certain vendors or non-profit businesses that provide employment to blind or disabled individuals.
House Bill 2063 – This bill allows for the taxes levied by the Pratt Airport Tax Authority to be transferred to the city of Pratt, without approval from the voters.
House Bill 2038 – This bill automatically revokes the inheritance rights of a former spouse or their relatives in the event of a divorce or annulment.
House Bill 2039 – This bill creates a new law to require district courts to extend full faith and credit to judicial orders, judgments, and other acts of tribal courts, pursuant to the Kansas Supreme Court rules.
House Bill 2033 – This bill makes an array of changes to local sales tax authorizations, especially for the following counties: Dickinson, Finney, Jackson, Russell, and Thomas.

During final action on the House Floor, I voted “Yes” on each of these bills.
