Man arrested in support of jailed lover

LANCASTER, Ky. (AP) —  Authorities  in Kentucky say they’ve arrested a man who wanted to go to jail to support his jailed girlfriend.

Raymond Pace, 47, was charged with offenses including possession of methamphetamine, heroin and drug paraphernalia, news outlets report.

Pace called authorities Saturday to report a stolen laptop, according to a statement by Garrard County police. Officer Steven Debord arrived to find an intoxicated Pace requesting to be jailed for several months to support his girlfriend, who Pace said was serving five months in jail, according to the statement. Pace explained that he needed to be jailed with her so she would not be stressed, police said.

Pace shoved the officer in an attempt to be arrested, but the officer demurred until Pace pulled out a bundle of drug paraphernalia, police said.

It’s unclear if Pace has a lawyer or if he has been able to see his girlfriend. The woman’s identity was not immediately made public.

Trump say Senate should dismiss impeachment

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says the Senate should simply dismiss the impeachment case against him, an extraordinary suggestion as the House prepares to transmit the charges to the chamber for the historic trial.

The Republican president is giving mixed messages ahead of the House’s landmark vote that will launch the Senate proceedings in a matter of days, only the third presidential impeachment trial in American history. Trump faces charges that he abused power by pushing Ukraine to investigate Democratic rival Joe Biden and then obstructed Congress.

First Trump was suggesting his own ideas for trial witnesses, then he said almost the opposite Sunday by tweeting that the trial shouldn’t happen at all.

“Many believe that by the Senate giving credence to a trial” over charges he calls a hoax, Trump tweeted, “rather than an outright dismissal, it gives the partisan Democrat Witch Hunt credibility that it otherwise does not have. I agree!”

The idea of dismissing the charges against Trump is as unusual as it is unlikely. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell signed on to an outlier proposal circulating last week among conservative senators, but he does not have enough support in the Republican-held chamber to actually do it. It would require a rare rules change similar to the approach McConnell used for Supreme Court confirmations.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi warned Sunday that senators will “pay a price” if they block new witness testimony with a trial that Americans perceive as a “cover-up” for Trump’s actions.

“It’s about a fair trial,” Pelosi told ABC’s “This Week.” “The senators who are thinking now about voting for witnesses or not, they will have to be accountable.”

She said, “Now the ball is in their court to either do that or pay a price.”

Voters are divided over impeachment largely along the nation’s deeply partisan lines and the trial is becoming a high-stakes undertaking at the start of a presidential election year.

A House vote to transmit the articles to the Senate will bring to a close a standoff between Pelosi and McConnell over the rules for the trial. The House voted to impeach Trump last month.

Yet ending one showdown merely starts another across the Capitol as the parties try to set the terms of debate over high crimes and misdemeanors.

Democrats want new testimony, particularly from former White House national security adviser John Bolton, who has indicated he will defy Trump’s orders and appear if subpoenaed.

Trump doesn’t want his brash former aide to testify. Republican allies led by McConnell, R-Ky., are ready to deliver swift acquittal without new testimony.

Trump first said Sunday it’s Pelosi and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff who should both testify, which would be unlikely.

The president said he shouldn’t have to carry the “stigma” of impeachment because he’s done nothing wrong. Pelosi said the House vote last month means Trump will be “impeached forever” and “for life.”

McConnell is reluctant to enter a divisive Senate debate over witnesses that could split his party and prolong a trial that is already expected to consume weeks of floor time.

He is seeking a speedy acquittal and has proposed a process similar to the presidential impeachment trial of Bill Clinton in 1999, which would start the proceedings and then vote later on hearing new testimony.

One leading Republican, Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, has already predicted that the trial would end ”in a matter of days.? Graham and Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo. are leading the effort to dismiss the charges against Trump.

Trump delayed nearly $400 million in aide as Ukraine battled Russia on its border while he pushed the country’s new president to investigate political rival Joe Biden. Trump pays close attention to a conspiracy theory pushed by his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani about Biden and his son Hunter Biden, who served on the board of a gas company in Ukraine while his father was vice president. No evidence of wrongdoing by the Bidens has emerged.

Some GOP senators want to turn the impeachment trial away from the Democrats’ case and toward the theories being pursued by Giuliani. GOP Sen. Rick Scott of Florida said Sunday he wants to hear from the Bidens “and find out — get to the bottom of that.”

At least one Republican up for reelection, Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, said last week she was in talks with GOP colleagues on a process that would allow them to hear more testimony as Democrats want.

The Democratic-run House has not yet set the timing for this week’s vote to transmit the impeachment articles to the Senate. Pelosi will meet behind closed doors with House Democrats to decide next steps on Tuesday morning ahead of the party’s presidential primary debate that evening, the last before the Iowa caucuses Feb. 3.

Once the Republican-led Senate receives the charges, the trial is expected to begin swiftly.

While some Democrats have grumbled about the delay, Pelosi and other party leaders defended the strategy, saying it produced new potential evidence and turned public attention on the upcoming trial.

“One of the things that holding on to the articles has succeeded doing is fleshing out McConnell and the president’s desire to make this a cover up,” Schiff, D-Calif., said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

Bolton’s remarks, which were recalled by witnesses in the House investigation, could cut different ways in testimony. He was said to have compared the Ukraine actions to a “drug deal” he wanted no part of and warned that Giuliani was a “hand grenade” about to go off.

House Democrats, who did not issue a subpoena for Bolton last year, did not rule out doing so now. Pelosi also left open the door to filing more articles of impeachment against Trump.

“Let’s be optimistic about the future … a future that will not have Donald Trump in the White House, one way or another. Ten months from now we will have an election, if we don’t have him removed sooner,” she said.

Thunder spoil Westbrook’s return to OKC

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The Oklahoma City Thunder spoiled Russell Westbrook’s return.

Westbrook scored 34 points, but the Thunder beat the Houston Rockets 113-92 on Thursday night.

Westbrook was a league MVP and two-time scoring champ for the Thunder before being traded to the Rockets last summer for Chris Paul and draft picks.

The fans remember him as the star who stayed after Kevin Durant left for then-rival Golden State in 2016, and they showered him with appreciation before the game. There was a tribute video, then loud cheers as he was introduced with enthusiasm, in the same manner as a home Thunder player. The crowd stood, cheered loudly and even chanted M-V-P as the announcer moved on to other players. Westbrook even ran over to a corner of the court and exhorted the crowd before the tip, just like he did when he played for the Thunder.

“Some things you can’t put into words,” Westbrook said. “I’ve been here for so long and so many great memories, great people. The absolute best fans in the world because they come with it, and tonight they came with it.”

The atmosphere also lifted the Thunder.

“The energy was amazing,” Paul said. “Our first nationally televised game and Russ being back so we knew that the crowd — I mean the crowd is always great, but we knew it was going to be a different energy tonight with Russ’ first game back here and I mean, you’ve got to get excited during the player intros. Shai (Gilgeous-Alexander) and I were just sitting over there talking about, you know, ‘All right, let’s get to it.’”

It was a strange day for Westbrook. He said he had never even seen the visiting locker room during his 11-year run in Oklahoma City. It was a bit odd for him early in the game when the crowd that he so often riled to a fever pitch was cheering for the other team during a run that put the Rockets on their heels.

“Definitely different, but once you start hooping and competing, you kind of zone it out a little bit,” he said.

Westbrook scored 18 points in the first half, but the Thunder led 60-48 at the break after shooting 53.8% from the field. The Thunder extended their lead throughout the second half. Westbrook was subbed out with 7:18 remaining.

Danilo Gallinari led the Thunder with 23 points and 11 rebounds and Gilgeous-Alexander added 20 points.

Houston’s James Harden, who entered the night averaging a league-best 38.5 points, was held to 17 on 5-for-17 shooting.

After the game, Westbrook embraced several Thunder players, then went over and hugged Thunder owner Clay Bennett. He acknowledged the crowd one last time before he exiting on the opposite end of the floor from his days as a Thunder player.

Westbrook was the last remaining player from the team that began playing in Oklahoma City in 2008 after the franchise left Seattle.

“I don’t regret one thing being here in Oklahoma City,” he said. “I don’t regret signing back, I don’t regret staying here. I don’t regret anything that I did here. I feel like I left everything out on the floor every single night and did what I could for the city.”

 

TIP-INS

Rockets: Harden wore shoes with Thunder colors as part of an Adidas campaign. … The Rockets made just 11 of 40 3-pointers. … Another former Thunder player, Thabo Sefolosha, entered the game in the fourth quarter. … Houston’s point total was a season low.

Thunder: Oklahoma City shot 53.8% in the first quarter to take a 37-21 lead. It was the Thunder’s highest-scoring opening quarter of the season. … Paul scored 18 points and Dennis Schroder added 16. … Thunder G Hamidou Diallo was issued a technical foul in the fourth quarter.

 

OKC’s SPECIAL UNIFORMS

The Thunder wore special gray and gold City Edition uniforms. They were designed in partnership with the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum to commemorate the upcoming 25th anniversary of the April 19, 1995, bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City.

 

QUOTABLE

Westbrook: “The fans here, the people, they never did me no wrong. I have nothing, no bad blood, nothing here in this city from no fans or nobody in this organization because they gave me all they have, and I gave them all I have.”

 

STAT LINES

Houston’s starters outside of Westbrook and Harden scored a combined 14 points on 5-for-16 shooting.

 

UP NEXT

Rockets: Host Minnesota on Saturday night.

Thunder: Host the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday night.

Enes Kanter seeks to open school in Oklahoma City

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Former Oklahoma City Thunder player Enes Kanter plans to open a charter school in the metro area that focuses on serving low-income minority students and those from immigrant families with limited English-speaking abilities.

Kanter, who currently plays for the Boston Celtics, notified Oklahoma City Public Schools of his intention to open the Enes Kanter School for Exceptional Learning, according to a letter first obtained by The Frontier.

He and a group of “civic-minded individuals” from the city will submit a charter school application to the school district on Tuesday, The Oklahoman reported. The Oklahoma City School Board will then consider the application in a vote.

Kanter and his associates have not selected a location for the school, but noted that they want to pick a site where “the need is high,” according to the letter.

The school would be designed mostly for under-served minority and immigrant students from fourth through 12th grade.

Kanter played for the Thunder from 2014 to 2017 before he was traded to the New York Knicks.

“Despite playing for other teams, I continue to return to Oklahoma City to host my annual basketball summer camps and to support programs that serve the OKC children,” Kanter wrote. “Through my foundation, my philanthropic activities extend to all of the cities where I have played for: Utah, Portland, New York, and Boston.”

The school would offer a syllabus that highlights reading, writing, math and science skills with an emphasis on physical, emotional and mental health education. It would embed “rich sports and arts activities in students’ daily schedule.”

Kanter would not be the first NBA player to open a school. Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James gained recognition for opening the I Promise School in his hometown of Akron, Ohio. James’ school opened in 2018 as an elementary school to serve at-risk children.

He has also faced challenges beyond the court. As a native of Turkey, Kanter missed a game last year in Toronto shortly after joining the Portland Trailblazers because he felt like his life might be in danger if he left the United States. As a result of his criticism of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Kanter had been labeled a terrorist by his native country. His passport was revoked and Turkey reportedly issued a warrant for his arrest with Interpol.

Williams and Wozniacki reach Auckland semifinals

AUCKLAND, New Zealand (AP) — Serena Williams and Caroline Wozniacki both advanced to the singles semifinals at the ASB Classic on Friday, then extended their first-time partnership to reach the doubles final.

Williams beat Laura Siegemund 6-4, 6-3 and Wozniacki defeated two-time defending champion Julia Goerges 6-1, 6-4 in the quarterfinals.

Both players will face American opponents in the semifinals on Saturday; Wozniacki will play Jessica Pegula and Williams will play Amanda Anisimova.

Williams and Wozniacki then combined to beat Kristen Flipkens and Alison van Uytvanck 7-6 (9), 6-2 to reach their first doubles final. The pair, close friends, are playing doubles together for the first time in their careers.

Wozniacki will retire after the Australian Open.

Friday’s results raise the possibility the pair will meet in the singles final on Sunday, then will have to combine in the doubles final.

“I’ve done it before with my sister (Venus) and we’re still really close so I’m sure me and Caroline will still be super close,” Williams said.

Williams had to overcome a swirling wind on center court to come from a break down in the second set to beat Siegemund. She was able to step up on crucial points, converting three of her five break points.

Siegemund, who beat American teenager Coco Gauff in the second round, stretched Williams with her variety and placement but couldn’t match the 23-time Grand Slam champion’s power from the baseline.

“She was an incredibly tricky player and the conditions really didn’t help,” Williams said. “But, oh my God, it’s good to get through that.”

Wozniacki was convincing in her win over Goerges, the 2018 and 2019 champion in Auckland. She dominated the game on serve and gave Goerges few chances to fight her way back into the match.

“I’ve had so many tough matches against Julia in the past and I knew this one was going to be tough as well,” Wozniacki said. “I’ve been serving well this week so hopefully it can continue.”

Pener — Carroll

Jordan Lee Pener and Richard Joseph Carroll were married at half past four in the afternoon on Nov. 8, 2019, at Eighteen Ninety Wedding Venue in Platte City, Missouri.

Parents of the bride are Gary and Victoria Pener of Kansas City. Parents of the groom are Maureen Ann Percy Carroll of Lenexa and Michael F. Carroll of Lake Quivera. The bride is the granddaughter of the late Janet and Donald Stark, Louis and Bertha Pener and John and Betty Zoeller. The groom is the grandson of Jeanne Ann Masterson Percy of Iola and the late William Glenn “Curly” Percy and of Mike and Mary Jo O’Bryan Carroll Van Walleghem and the late Joseph Carroll. The grandmothers of the groom were honored guests at the wedding. The couple’s parents, grandparents and great-grandparents were honored on a picture board featuring their wedding pictures. The picture board also held pictures of the groom’s late uncle Tom Carroll and of the bride’s late aunt Glendora “G.G.” Peterson.

The outdoor ceremony took place under an open wooden wedding arbor decorated with sky-blue chiffon gathered to bouquets of hydrangea and greenery. The minister officiating at the ceremony was Timmy Gibson. The groom was walked to the front of the altar by his mother, followed by the mothers of the couple lighting the altar candles.

The bride, given in marriage by her father, wore an ivory princess-style ball gown. The ruched bodice featured a sweetheart neckline and spaghetti straps that formed to a V in the back. The bottom of the fitted bodice was covered in lace. The gown had a natural waistline which was accented with a narrow rhinestone belt and the full skirt was worn over crinolines and featured layers of tiered organza that flowed into a chapel-length train. During the outdoor ceremony, the bride wore a matching ivory fur–edged capelet. She carried a cascading bouquet of burgundy, wine, and ivory roses with baby’s breath, blue hydrangea and greenery. Her fingertip veil of imported ivory illusion fell from a rhinestone hairpiece in the back and she wore a jeweled cuff bracelet with matching earrings.

The bridal attendants wore flowing sky-blue gowns of organza with spaghetti straps and capelet flutter sleeves. They also wore silver shawls for the outside ceremony and they carried clutch bouquets with the same flowers as the bride’s bouquet. Kelly Murakami was the maid-of-honor. Bridesmaids were Patrice Brennan, Mary Cathryn Lusby, Holly Sherman, Jane Beyer, Jordan Herr, Natalie Fedder, Mary Eibes, Meggie Maureen Carroll, and Molly Kathleen Carroll (sisters of the groom).

The groom was attended by his (soon-to-be) brother-in-law Colby Dye as best man. Groomsmen were Jared Witter, Blake Lawrence, Mike Garza, Clay Coffman, Logan Coffman, Chase Coffman (step-brothers of the groom), Brett Pener, Kyle Pener, and Alex Pener (brothers of the bride). Ushers for the wedding were David Leonard and Matthew Crow.

The cocktail hour followed the ceremony and the reception, buffet dinner, and wedding dance were held inside the chandelier-lit venue. The couple danced their first dance to the song “At Last.”

After cutting the multi-tiered wedding cake, the couple was surprised by one of the highlights of their wedding reception: a personalized video was shown with best wishes for the couple on their marriage from several Kansas City Chiefs football and Royals baseball stars including Patrick Mahomes, Eric Hosmer, Whit Merrifield and others.

The couple is at home in Lenexa following their honeymoon in Orlando, Fla..
