Recovery teams found the body of a Stilwell man who drowned March 3 while fishing alone in a one-person kayak at Tuttle Creek lake. The Manhattan Mercury reports that searchers used boats with sonar to locate on Thursday the body of 21-year-old Anthony Berg. Kansas Wildlife and Parks Game Warden Jesse Gehrt says that while they don’t know all the details, it was windy on the day Berg drowned and they believe that’s what led to the accident. The recovery teams were unable to locate his body over the March 3 weekend, and windy conditions earlier that following week had…

Kansas State was picked as an at-large selection in the NCAA Tournament for the second straight year Sunday evening when the Wildcats were revealed as a 9-seed in the South Region. K-State (22-11) will face 8-seed Creighton, and former Wildcat guard Marcus Foster, in a first round game on Friday in Charlotte, NC. If K-State advances, it would almost surely face 1-seed Virginia in the second round. Game times and TV listings had not been released as of 6:30 Sunday. The Wildcats beat Wake Forest as part of last season’s “First Four” in Dayton, Ohio before losing to 6-seed Cincinnati.…
Hours before tipoff of Friday night’s Big 12 semifinal, Kansas State learned it would not have its best player on the court. Just two minutes into the game, the Wildcats’ second-best player went down as well. That left Bruce Weber’s team without 45 percent of its offensive production against a potential one-seed in the NCAA Tournament. Against long odds, K-State fought. They were just outgunned. No. 9 Kansas topped the Wildcats 83-67 at Sprint Center to advance to Saturday’s title game. Dean Wade missed the game with a foot injury he aggravated in Thursday’s win over TCU. The All-Big 12…
TOPEKA — A new law in Kansas promises harsher sentences repeat drunken drivers who kill or injure others. Gov. Jeff Colyer on Friday signed “Caitlin’s Law.” It takes effect in July and stiffens penalties for drivers who cause accidents while intoxicated or while circumventing restrictions placed on them because of DUI convictions. Colyer said state officials hope tougher penalties will send a message to people with a history of driving under the influence. The presumed prison sentence for a person with a previous DUI conviction will be nearly 8 years, rather than 5.5 years. The new law is named for…

There will be no charges against members of the Manhattan High School football team for their part in the reported “birthday beatdowns” that made headlines last fall. According to media reports Thursday, a letter sent to the Riley County Attorney’s Office from Lyon County Attorney Marc Goodman said there was not enough admissible evidence to gain a conviction. Goodman was appointed as a special prosecutor in the case after the Riley County Attourney’s Office recused itself. Riley County Attorney Barry Wilkerson said in December that his office has two employees who have a child or relative who are members of…
Kansas State forward Dean Wade is unlikely to play in tonight’s Big 12 semifinal against Kansas, according to two sources close to the program. Wade is suffering from a foot injury he aggravated in recent weeks. “I think they want to focus on the NCAA Tournament and don’t want to take any chances,” one source said. On Monday, Wade was selected to the Big 12’s First Team by the league’s coaches. He ranks among the Big 12 leaders this season in most categories, including scoring, rebounds, steals, and three-point percentage. K-State advanced to the semifinal by beating TCU, 66-64, in overtime Thursday…
