Husband’s love springs eternal Photo and story by Rick Danley

n the years before Velma Ensminger died, her husband, Dave, used to carry her from room to room. The pair shared a winding, single-story ranch house on a large farm near Moran. Dave was already in his eighties. Velma was five years his junior. The couple had been married for nearly six decades, but by then Velma no longer recognized his face. Ensminger recalled a conversation the two had not long after Velma was diagnosed with dementia, but before the worst of it destroyed her body. “I told her the day will come when you don’t know who I am,” said Ensminger. “‘Oh, no,’ she’d say. ‘I’ll remember.’ But the day did come. I’d put her to bed at night and give her a kiss and she’d look up at me and she’d say, ‘Now, who are you?’ She didn’t know.”

Court tosses parts of school funding law TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A district court panel in Kansas declared Friday that key parts of a new state law for funding public schools violate the state constitution. The three-judge panel in Shawnee County District Court ruled that the law fails to distribute more than $4 billion a year so that all children
receive a suitable education. The state is expected to appeal the ruling to the Kansas Supreme Court. The new law scrapped an older per-pupil distribution formula in favor of predictable grants to the state’s 286 school districts based on the funds they received before the law changed. The law was challenged by the Dodge City, Hutchinson, Wichita and Kansas City, Kan-
sas, school districts. They argued that it distributed state funds in ways that harmed programs for poor and minority students. The four districts sued the state in 2010, and legislators boosted aid to poor school districts last year to meet a Kansas Supreme Court mandate in the case. But the high court returned the case to the lower-court panel to review additional legal issues — in-

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court declared Friday that same-sex couples have a right to marry anywhere in the United States, a historic culmination of decades of litigation over gay marriage and gay rights generally. Gay and lesbian couples already could marry in 36 states and the District of Columbia. The court’s 5-4 ruling means the remaining 14 states, in the South and Midwest, will have to stop enforcing their bans on same-sex marriage. A court in Atlanta issued marriage licenses to three same-sex couples Friday morning, soon after the decision. Gay rights supporters cheered, danced and wept outside the court after the decision, which put an exclamation point on breathtaking changes in the nation’s social norms. Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote the majority opinion, just as he did in the court’s previous three major gay rights cases dating back to 1996. It came on the anniversary of two of those earlier decisions. “No union is more profound than marriage,”
WEIGHED against the heaviness of his grief — which, less than a year after his wife’s death, lives so close to the surface that even the mention of her name is enough to invite tears — is the radiant lightness and warmth of Ensminger’s personality. “You know, when I go into a room with a bunch of people, I have this urge to shake hands with everybody there.” At 84, the former farmer has retained his straight-backed posture. He gets in and out of chairs with the limberness of a younger man. He speaks in a clear, treble voice, wears his talc-white hair pulled back in a knobby ponytail, and has adopted in the last two years a sparse Van Dyke beard. Ensminger’s natural friendliness is somehow enhanced by his wide gap-toothed smile, whose straight line was

Beans on the heels of wheat harvest By BOB JOHNSON The Iola Register
Farming is an integral part of Allen County’s economy and its compelling presence is never more evident than at this time of year. Local farmers are harvesting wheat, planting soybeans and putting up hay. And, just to make sure
they don’t get caught up in a lull, there’s wheat ground to prep for a second crop of soybeans. “It is a busy time of the year,” said Carla Nemecek, ag agent with the Southwind Extension District. Farmers are at it from early morning often until well after the sun sets, she said. “Some have day jobs, like See FARMING | Page A5

Allen County commissioners may rethink how they will proceed to remove the old Allen County Hospital to make room for a grocery and other development. In recent weeks a plan had
evolved to have an auction of personal property in the hospital, as well as copper and other metal and material that had salvage value. Thursday during a tour of the structure a handful of potential demolition contractors urged County Counselor Alan Weber to have commission-

and elsewhere, there was a distinct danger of asbestos contamination. “You could spend a lot,” perhaps several thousands of dollars to clean up asbestos and other hazardous materials before demolition could start, several said. A prior report said asbestos was not a significant concern in the building, that only a portion was friable, meaning small pieces easily would float about in the air. Most is non-friable and poses no immediate problem, but that could change quickly, contractors said, if disturbed by someone without knowledge of how to handle it. Also, several contractors questioned whether sale of remaining property in the hospital would reap the county any dividend. One said when he
razed a hospital in Larned, toilets, doors and such things were separated from the building and sold at auction. “All together, they brought $10,” he said. Another recalled when his company demolished a Veterans Administration home, doors and windows failed to draw a bid and were hauled to a landfill. Initially commissioners talked about having salvage rights a separate issue from disposal of personal property — as contractors recommended — but then talked about making them a part of an auction. They have contracted with Allen County Realty, represented by John Brocker, to perform an auction, with a guaranteed commission of $600. Whether that will change will be a topic at the commissioners’
meeting Tuesday, Weber said. WEBER, in a presentation before contractors toured the hospital, said the deadline for bids was July 6, but that could be altered if contractors thought they needed more time. He said the anticipation was to have all personal property and salvage out of the hospital by Oct. 1, and for demolition to begin soon thereafter. The hope is it will take about three months, so the property will be ready for development early in 2016. In addition to the building, the north parking lot, made of concrete and asphalt, will be removed to facilitate construction of a new G&W Foods grocery. Weber is to prepare a contract for the grocer and commissioners to review. It will include a purchase price
of $29,000 for the land G&W wants. On query from the Register, one contractor said completing demolition in three months might be difficult, with work having to be done without infringing on the medical arts building — it will stay in place just southeast of the hospital — and almost certain foul weather in fall and early winter. Once demolition begins, the site will be closed to the public by a six-foot-tall chain link fence. Demolition material — one contractor mentioned 12,000 tons of concrete — will be disposed of at the Allen County Landfill without charge. Weber also noted the county had ample rock and dirt for leveling the property — the extensive basement area will be brought to grade as part of the structure’s razing.

Rural Kansas hospitals search for ways to survive By Bryan Thompson KHI News Service
A lot of the hospitals in rural Kansas are called “critical access hospitals.” It’s an important designation that the federal government created to maintain access to health care in rural areas. But many Kansas critical access hospitals are in financial trouble. Although Medicare requires them to offer 24-hour emergency services, most don’t have enough ER patients to justify that cost, said Melissa Hungerford, senior vice president for health care leadership at the Kansas Hospital Association. “Keeping staff and supplies and equipment and buildings and all of the facilities that it takes to deliver that aroundthe-clock, quality inpatient care is an expensive system,” she said. Hungerford is in charge of a new Kansas Hospital Association ini-
tiative aimed at helping rural hospital administrators devise what might be called strategic survival plans. One idea is to allow small hospitals to give up some or all of their acute care services and become “primary health centers.” These centers would stabilize patients and transfer them to larger hospitals. Some might still offer emergency care 24 hours a day. But others might only operate their ERs for 12 hours. Five hospitals have signed up to participate. Hungerford said they have agreed to keep two sets of books – one that documents their current procedures, outcomes and costs, and another that estimates how much could be saved by operating as a primary health center. “We will be able to look at the patients that they have served, and say, ‘So, what would have happened differently from what happened in today’s environment?’
I don’t want to be over-dramatic, but I would use the term, honestly, we’re under siege. — Bob Krickbaum, CEO of Edwards County Hospital
And then look at what the cost of that entity might be and see if there are any opportunities for savings,” she said. A matter of survival The Edwards County Hospital in Kinsley is participating in the experiment. “I don’t think it’s going be a first choice for anyone,” said the hospital’s chief executive officer, Bob Krickbaum. “But the time is coming that I think it will be something that a lot of these small community hospitals have to consider.” The southwest Kansas town has been losing population for 60 years. It peaked at nearly 2,500
people in the 1950s, but Kinsley’s population is now around 1,500. About as many live in the rest of Edwards County. Krickbaum said it’s not easy to keep a hospital open with numbers like those. “If we can get through a year here, and we can make 1 or 2 percent on the bottom line to reinvest right back in this facility, we’ve had a really good year,” he said. “The really bad years, those numbers are red.” Eighty percent of the hospital’s revenue comes from the federal Medicare program. But Krickbaum said reimbursement cuts are taking a toll.
“We are continuing to see a decline in Medicare support,” he said. “I don’t want to be overdramatic, but I would use the term, honestly, we’re under siege.” Effects of sequestration Medicare established critical access hospitals in 1997 to help preserve access to health care in rural areas by reimbursing the hospitals for their actual costs. But sequestration — the across-the-board budget cut that Congress adopted in 2012 that is still controlling budgets — reduced those payments by 2 percent. That may not sound like much. But Brock Slabach, senior vice president of the National Rural Health Association, said it’s the main reason why 35 percent of the rural hospitals in America are operating at a loss. “When you have 80 percent of your volume controlled by one payer and you take a 2 percent cut on that, that’s a sig-
nificant number, proportionally,” Slabach said. Many small-town hospitals balance their books with local tax subsidies. The Edwards County Hospital gets $385,000 a year from county taxpayers. But Krickbaum said the tax base is shrinking in many Kansas communities. “There is no doubt that we will not be able to continue to support 84 critical access hospitals in Kansas,” Slabach said, “and right now, the choice is they stay critical access or they close. And that is going to leave a lot of rural communities without care.” Changes in the way critical access hospitals operate would require corresponding changes in federal Medicare rules. If the results of the experiment are promising, Hungerford of the Kansas Hospital Association said the next step is to ask the federal government to fund a demonstration project as a final test.

ORLANDO, Fla. (TNS) — Walt Disney World is banning selfie-sticks from its theme parks, citing safety concerns, a company spokeswoman said Friday morning. Under a new policy, which takes effect Tuesday, the poles won’t make it past the bag check at any Disney World theme park. The sticks also won’t be allowed in Disney World water parks or
security and freedom to purse your passion. Consider if your home is safe and easy to move around in. Ask yourself if you are close to stores and are prepared to spend thousands of dollars over the next 5 to 10 years for maintenance costs on your home. The next meeting will be at 7 p.m., Aug. 17, at Giovanni’s Restaurant.
DisneyQuest, a gaming attraction at Downtown Disney. “We strive to provide a great experience for the entire family, and unfortunately selfie-sticks have become a growing safety concern for both our guests and cast,” Disney World spokeswoman Kim Prunty said. Selfie-sticks will also become forbidden at Disneyland Resort in Cali-
fornia on June 30. The prohibition kicks in at Disney’s parks in Paris and Hong Kong on July 1. Guests will be checked for the equipment during the routine bag check that happens near the parks’ entrances. They will have an option of turning in their selfiesticks for pick-up later or to go back to their cars or hotel rooms to stow them.
Visitors will be told of the policy in locations such as the parking lots and at the resort’s hotels. The prohibition will be added to the park rules post on Disney World’s website. The issue has been building at Disney. Previously, the sticks were prohibited from its rides, and “no selfie-sticks” signs were at select rides, such as Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Magic Kingdom. Cast members have given verbal warnings to rule breakers. Several incidents preceded the change, but officials have been discussing the rules for some time, Disney said. This week at Disney California Adventure park, a roller coaster was halted after a passenger pulled out a selfie-stick. The ride was closed for an hour. Selfie-stick users put smartphones and cameras on the ends of poles to extend their reach, frequently capturing themepark moments through self-portraits. The tools have been banned in public places — including some museums and stadiums — worldwide for obstructing views or causing safety issues.

Police kill escapee during manhunt; other on run MALONE, N.Y. (AP) — One of two convicted killers who staged a brazen escape from an upstate maximum-security prison and had been hunted for three weeks was shot and killed Friday, but the other is still on the run. An official with knowledge of the manhunt said Richard Matt was killed by police and David Sweat is still on the run. The official wasn’t authorized to talk about the development publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity. Matt and Sweat used power tools to saw through a steel cell wall and several steel steam pipes, bashed a hole through a 2-foot-thick brick wall, squirmed through pipes and escaped early June 6 from Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, near the Canadian border. Sweat was serving a sentence of life without parole in the killing of a sheriff ’s deputy in Broome County in 2002. Matt was serving 25 years to life for the killing and dismembering of his former boss. A civilian worker at the prison has been
Richard Matt charged with helping the killers flee by giving them hacksaw blades, chisels and other tools. Prosecutors said Joyce Mitchell, a prison tailoring shop instructor who got close to the men while working with them, had agreed to be their getaway driver but backed out because she felt guilty for participating. Mitchell pleaded not guilty June 15 to charges including felony promoting prison contraband. Authorities said the men had filled their beds in their adjacent cells with clothes to make it appear they were sleeping when guards made overnight rounds.

Joyce had told Lyle — and we have no reason to doubt it — that she told Sweat and Matt that she wasn’t going to go through with it,� he said. “At that point, they threatened her by threatening Lyle, saying they were going to have someone on the outside do something to him or someone on the inside when he was back at work do something to him, so I think it was a point of control.� Lyle Mitchell was cooperating with authorities and wasn’t facing charges. On June 24, authorities charged Clinton correction officer Gene Palmer with promoting prison contraband, tampering with physical evidence and official misconduct. Officials said he gave the two prisoners the frozen hamburger meat Joyce Mitchell had used to hide the tools she smuggled to Sweat and Matt. Palmer’s attorney

Authorities also said Mitchell had discussed killing her husband, Lyle Mitchell, as part of the plot. “Joyce Mitchell tells us that was discussed between her and Matt and that upon their escape they were going to return back to her home at which time Matt and Sweat were going to kill her husband,� Wylie said. Lyle Mitchell’s lawyer, Peter Dumas, said June 18 that his client was shocked by word of the plot and that Joyce Mitchell had told her husband she couldn’t go through with it and the inmates threatened to harm him. “Toward the end,

Ensminger: Embracing his wife’s legacy
Farming Continued from A1
Just anything I had that would be soft and that she would like. Fruit I would smash up and feed to her. She was a swell little gal. Never complained.”
Continued from A1
my dad did. They work long hours after they get home and on weekends.” A part of farming that often escapes notice is what happens other than in fields. “People need to be aware there are slow-moving farm vehicles on the roads a lot, with farmers going from one field to another,” chauffeuring combines, tractors and equipment that often take up more than a single lane of traffic. Transporting harvested grain to elevators also leads to traffic congestion. Just Wednesday northeast of Mildred a combine and pickup truck collided on an Allen County road. Give them a little leeway, Nemecek urged folks who don’t have an immediate stake in agriculture.
shattered a few years ago, when a bull-calf — who preferred to keep his testicles, thank you — reared back and kicked the old man in the mouth just as Ensminger knelt behind the animal with a castration knife. “I went to the dentist after that,” said Ensminger, “and he told me ‘I can give you a Hollywood smile for $4,000.’ I said, ‘I believe I’ll do without it.’ I’m not interested in beauty contests. In fact, the last beauty contest I was in, I came in seventh in a field of six.” “VELMA and I were in school together in Moran,” said Ensminger. “But I wasn’t interested in her then. I was chasing women over in Yates Center.” But as his bachelor years ticked by, he would think of her. “She was known as ‘Miss Music’ in Moran when she was a girl. She was marvelous on the piano. She could roll them up and spread them out, you know. Like Liberace did. She could sound just like him.” Eventually, Ensminger screwed up the courage to call and ask for a date. She was working as a legal secretary in Fort Scott then. “I was so sure she was going to say no that when she said yes, I didn’t have anything else to say. “That’s how it started. And, now, 58 years later, you see?”
FROM AN INFORMAL survey,
the local wheat harvest has moved well past the halfway point, with good but occasionally mixed results. “Shawn Geffert (south of Iola) said he thought they’d finish up their wheat today (Wednesday),” and the number of fields of headless stalks are becoming more and more the norm each day, she said. As for yields, “it depends on who you talk to,” Nemecek said. “It sounds like the average is about 40 bushels (an acre), but I’ve also heard of 60, even above. Test weights are good” — Kansas State University experts say 56 pounds per bushel are most desirable. Dale Daniels, south of Humboldt, echoed Nemecek’s assessment, noting wheat mostly was good but yields sometimes vary within a single field. Some disease has surfaced in local wheat. “There’s some head scab that has led to instances of vomitoxin,” which arises because of too much moisture during wheat’s development, Nemecek said. Nearly 11 inches of rain fell here in May. Disease can lead to dockage at elevators, and if it is present, Nemecek recommended farmers who keep wheat for seed to treat it with a fungicide. Julie Sterling, also in the Humboldt area, said son Layne suffered substantial dockage with wheat from one field, but had none at all from another. Corn appears headed for a bumper crop. “It really looks good right now,” Nemecek said, with the caveat liberal rainfall causes root systems to spread laterally rather than deeper into the earth. That can be a significant problem if nature’s spigot is squeezed shut and moisture in fields is found only deeper than roots can reach. Another warning: “I always tell gardeners (who can control moisture) not to water too often so when dry weather comes the plants won’t suffer so much from lack of moisture” — for the same reason. Farmers with livestock have had the benefit of good hay crops, stock water ponds filled to the brim and pastures replete with lush and ample grass from spring rains. “Things really look good right now,” Nemecek said. Reality is, corn and soybean yields will be determined by what Mother Nature provides the next six to eight weeks.
IT WAS in the last decade that Ensminger began to notice his wife’s decline. But the signs weren’t always legible from the start. “For example, you go to the bathroom and in the medicine cabinet there’d be a sandwich with one bite out of it. And, you know, you’d take it out and give it a pitch. I was busy farming then and never really paid it much thought. “She’d misplace things. And she saw things. There were three little men in this house that she always saw. I never could see them. ‘Yeah, don’t you see those three little men sitting right there?’ she’d say. “‘No, I don’t see them, mother-honey.’ “She’d smell things that weren’t there. She’d think something was being cooked in the kitchen when it wasn’t. It’s a terrible disease. But you don’t argue with someone who’s got dementia. You just say, ‘Yes, dear’ and move right on. You try to keep them happy, but really there’s no happiness left. It’s hard to imagine that; she was always a happy person.” In time, it got to the point where she was unable to care for herself. “I would
I’m going to be 85 in November. If I had a mission statement, I’d guess it would be ‘I would want to be as nice to people as I can as long as I’m alive.’
VELMA passed away in November. “She was in the back of the house and fell or did something to her leg, so I took her over to Windsor, in Iola, and she was there for two months and the therapy girls there got her walking again, so I brought her back home, and I thought we were getting along real good and I put her to bed one Wednesday night and she couldn’t get up the next morning.” Ensminger begins to weep. “I always helped her up but I asked her that morning if it would be alright if I called 911 and she said it would be OK, and so they came and took her to the hospital and she passed away eight days later.” It was a good life, Ensminger said, a happy life. “She was a hard worker. She looked after everything and everyone. She loved our kids. Of course when Velmzie was younger, she would be here with the kids. We had four of those little rascals running around here, you know. We used to have a white vinyl floor in here, and we had three tricycles, and they used to chase each other around the fireplace and there would be black marks where they were skidding around the corners. And Velmzie, of course, would get down there and clean it up all the time. Eventually we got smart and put carpet in. But that was after the tricycle stage. She was a very good mother. Very happy with those four little ones.”
— David Ensminger
stay at home and look after the little thing, every day of the week, every day of the year. You know, people would offer to come and stay, so I could get away. But I didn’t want to do that. If I went to town for two hours, I’d sit there and worry about what’s going on at home. So we just stayed here together, and it worked out just fine.” OUT OF HABIT, Ensminger still rises at 4 a.m. “Look at this,” he says, pulling a black and gold tea packet with Japanese lettering out of a box behind the television set in the kitchen. Cho-wa! The Original Shogun Tiger Formula. “I take this in the morning when I get up. Made in Japan, but sold in California. It has three kinds of mushrooms in it. I use the distilled water over there.” A two-gallon jug of spring water with the red Ozarka label sits on the edge of the counter. “A doctor said to me one day, years ago: ‘Why do you want to drink tap water when some old man pissed in it up the line about six months ago and he was chewing tobacco and now there are 400 carcinogens in the water that they can’t get out. Why do you want to drink that?’ he says. ‘You can afford Ozarka.’ “So I use that for the tea. Now, if you would take hot water and dump in two or three little pieces of cardboard and boil it up, and then take the cardboard out and drink that, it would taste about the same as this stuff.” Does it help at least? “Who knows. I’ve been doing it every morning for so long. For years I got up at 4 o’clock, because I had to take Vel to the bathroom. I’d clean her up, then I‘d put her back into bed. And then I’d rush out the door, get in the truck, then run to Iola and get the groceries we needed for the day, and be back before she’d ever know I was gone. You know, at 4 a.m., in Walmart, there’s nobody much in there.” Once it became too hard for Velma to swallow, feeding her became Ensminger’s chief job. “But it had to all be soft, and very small bites. Mashed potatoes and gravy. Ice cream.
THERE ARE no rules for living alone when you’ve shared a home for as long as the Ensmingers did. He didn’t leave the farm during the two months following her death. He didn’t want to see anybody. His family would bring food and keep him company. He is especially grateful to two relatives, widows both, who were able to counsel him when the grief was loudest in his ears and all his thoughts were wound in briar, and to the Rev. Steve Traw, at Carlyle Presbyterian Church — a widower himself — whom Ensminger calls the “finest pastor I’ve ever run into.” THESE DAYS you’ll often find Ensminger down at his “office” — a clutch of tables in the back of Iola’s McDonald’s, where he gathers with other seniors for coffee during the week. “That does me more good than anything. It’s a happy place.

And those people in Iola are just the friendliest, nicest people you’d ever want to meet, and I love them all. “You know, I’m not the only one who’s ever lost a mate. If you looked around, you’d see a lot of people in a lot worse shape than you are. … I’m going to be 85 in November. If had a mission statement, I guess it would be I would want to be as nice to people as I can as long as I’m alive.” THE PATH out to Ensminger’s pond travels by a barn his uncle erected in 1903. It’s dark inside except for where the sunlight glances in through the vertical slats. A complicated pattern of beams climbs up into the vaulted ceiling. “There are no nails in it. It’s all done with pegs.” Behind the barn are empty cattle pens. And behind that a pond, with an island in the middle from which geese arrive and depart by the hundreds, and, on the opposite bank, a small hill. “That’s where I’m going to spread Velma’s ashes.” At the moment, they rest in a box on a padded recliner in his den. “And I’m going to have mine put there, too.” After the sudden death of his own wife, the novelist Julian Barnes wrote: “There are two essential kinds of loneliness: that of not having found someone to love, and that of having been deprived of the one you did love. The first kind is worse.” Ensminger agrees. He treats with gratitude the years he had with Velma, and cherishes the artifacts of their life together that still crowd the couple’s rural home. “But, you know, I still can’t find her purse. It’s somewhere in the house — I don’t know where. She always carried it, and I’ve looked everywhere. It’s in here. I know it is. And, you know, someday I’ll find it.” “WHEN she was over at Windsor for those two months, one day the therapy girls pushed her up to a piano and asked her to play them something. And for two minutes the Lord let her play the piano, and she played them the most beautiful song they ever heard. I asked them, ‘What song?’ Well, one thought it was ‘To a Wild Rose.’ The other said ‘No, it was the “Nocturnes.”’ I don’t know what it was, because I wasn’t there. It was a beautiful song. For two minutes she had it. When she got through and they pulled her away from the piano, she didn’t even know that was a piano or that she’d ever played. You see how that works? You get just a little time.”

Court: Ruling opens gay marriage across U.S. Kennedy wrote, joined by the court’s four more liberal justices. The stories of the people asking for the right to marry “reveal that they seek not to denigrate marriage but rather to live their lives, or honor their spouses’ memory, joined by its bond,” Kennedy said. As he read his opinion, spectators in the courtroom wiped away tears after the import of the decision became clear. One of those in the audience was James Obergefell, the lead plaintiff in the Supreme Court fight. Outside, Obergefell held up a photo of his late spouse, John, and said the ruling establishes that “our love is equal.” He added, “This is for you, John.” President Barack Obama placed a congratulatory phone call to Obergefell, which he took amid a throng of reporters outside the courthouse. Speaking a few minutes later at the White House, Obama praised the decision as “justice that arrives like a thunderbolt.” He said it was an affirmation of the principle that “all Americans are created equal.” The four dissenting justices each filed a separate opinion explaining his views, but they all agreed that states and their voters should have been left with the power to decide who can marry.
“This court is not a legislature. Whether same-sex marriage is a good idea should be of no concern to us,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in dissent. Roberts read a summary of his dissent from the bench, the first time he has done so in nearly 10 years as chief justice. “If you are among the many Americans — of what-

and Clarence Thomas also dissented. Several religious organizations criticized the decision and a group of pastors in Texas vowed to defy it. Kennedy said nothing in the court’s ruling would force religions to condone, much less perform, weddings to which they object. The ruling will not take effect immediately because the court gives the losing side roughly three weeks to ask for reconsideration. But some state officials and county clerks might follow the lead of the Fulton County, Georgia, probate court and decide there is little risk in issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. The cases before the court involved laws from Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee that define marriage as the union of a man and a woman. Those states have not allowed same-sex couples to marry within their borders and they also have refused to recognize valid marriages from elsewhere. Just two years ago, the Supreme Court struck down part of the federal anti-gay marriage law that denied a range of government benefits to legally married samesex couples. Justices Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor formed the majority with Kennedy on Friday, the same lineup as two years ago.

ever sexual orientation — who favor expanding samesex marriage, by all means celebrate today’s decision,” Roberts said. “But do not celebrate the Constitution. It had nothing to do with it.” Justice Antonin Scalia said he was not concerned so much about same-sex marriage but about “this court’s threat to American democracy.” Justices Samuel Alito
preme Court. The new law also cut the aid all districts expected to receive during the current school year by $54 million, or about 1.1 percent, to help balance the state budget. The state’s budget problems arose after slashing personal income taxes in 2012 and 2013 in an effort to boost its economy. The three-judge panel cited those reductions as a reason that key parts of the new funding law are unconstitutional. Supporters of the new law argue that this year’s cut in aid merely returns the amount to what lawmakers thought it would be last year. They also note that the loss of aid still leaves school districts with far more money from the state than they had during the 2013-14 school year. But the state’s spending under the new law going forward is far short of the three-judge panel’s figure for annual spending. The four aggrieved districts also argued that under the new law, the state’s aid won’t be distributed in ways that help poorer districts offer as good an education to their students as wealthier ones. The districts argue that the law is flawed because, unlike the old formula, it doesn’t automatically provide extra dollars if their numbers of students grow or if more students need programs because they’re dropout risks or learning English. The three-judge panel labeled the move to grants “pernicious.”

~ Journalism that makes a difference
Challenge at 150 years; keeping up with the times This Sunday completes the year-round commemoration of the 150th anniversary of Iola’s First Presbyterian Church, which was organized on June 24, 1864. A picnic at Riverside Park will follow the 9:30 a.m. service at the church. With any luck, the weather will be as pleasant as that long ago event when “a little company of people from round about, and bringing their dinner with them in baskets, gathered in Parson’s Grove and the First Presbyterian Church of Iola was organized,” as quoted from church annals. Parson’s Grove was about three miles northwest of Iola on the banks of Deer Creek. Iola was then a village of about 250 and church services were held for nearly four years at makeshift sites before a church was built in 1868 at the northeast corner of Madison and Chestnut streets. In a clipping from the Sept. 2, 1868 edition of the Register, my great-grandfather Charles F. Scott, a charter member of the church, wrote: “A large number of the citizens of Iola and vicinity had the pleasure of witnessing last Sabbath the dedication of the First Presbyterian Church of Iola. This is the first Presbyterian church to be built in southern Kansas and it is a pleasure to sit in a church like this, even if the sermon is rather longer than the subject seems to require.” The current site of the
Susan Lynn Register editor church at the intersection of Madison and Buckeye was purchased in 1899 for $800, with the first spade of dirt being turned in 1903. In 2003, Iola Presbyterians celebrated the 100th anniversary in part by compiling a history and memories. Former member Carolyn Green recalled the scene of a small wedding: “The mother of the bride came out to announce the bride was dressed and ready. She made her entrance, dressed in a traditional wedding dress, lots of tulle, lace and beads, with a skirt so full it looked like she was perched on top of a big tulle bell. The dress had one tiny drawback. IT WAS PINK! Not a tint of pink, not pastel pink, not even pale rose, but a shocking pink. “And she beamed.” Former minister Ken Miller recalled the fortuitous positioning of Lyle Schmaus and his family one Sunday. Seems the church’s new tile roof leaked but trustees were loathe to take action. “Finally, God took action,” Miller wrote. Schmaus, a church trustee, and his family sat in their usual pew —
Iola’s First Presbyterian Church “on the left and about twothirds from the rear. It began to rain in the middle of the sermon and water poured down on poor Lyle and his family. Enough was enough. The roof was replaced without delay with asphalt shingles.” In her memory, written in 2004, Donna Talkington wrote that as a young bride the Rev. Miller advised her, “to go and find the church we liked on the inside and then look at the name on the outside,” in choosing where to attend. SO AFTER 150 years is First Presbyterian an Iola institution? Well ... I hesitate because I believe a church is a living and
breathing institution, not bricks and mortar, and like a lot of traditional churches, we are struggling to attract younger families as our older generations pass on. We’ve also had some lapses in leadership over the past several years which agitates the flock. And while we know it’s the congregation, not its minister, that makes a church, it certainly doesn’t hurt to have both on the same page. For the most part, these problems have served as a much needed wake-up call and forced us to re-examine what makes us tick. Since the first of the year we’ve sponsored Sunday Soups, a free meal to the public on Sunday evenings. It’s a great fit for those who prefer
to act out their faith, and, like an earlier program called Angel Food Ministries, puts us in touch with Iola’s needy. Unfortunately, the core group behind Sunday Soups is getting burned out, so in July the program will be cut back to only the last two weeks of the month, when people’s support checks begin to wear thin. On average about 75 show up to eat the free meal in the church’s basement. If we worked to engage a broader section of the community to help with the meals, we probably could get it back up to snuff. It’s funny how we think nothing of extending a helping hand — indeed, it’s our purpose — but have the darndest time asking it for ourselves.
Peer pressure from granddaughters carries disproportional weight I shuffled into the Roswell, N.M., mall a few day ago to watch my granddaughters — Alayna and Emma Johnson and Olivia Lee — get second piercings in their ears. It’s the thing to do, they gushed, being able to sport two earrings in each lobe. I had taken the girls on a meandering visit to the mall the day before. Two hours of looking and giggling finally focused on a Claire’s store with stock enough of earrings and similar body adornments to meet the needs of most of Roswell’s 50,000-plus folks. Naturally enough, piercings also are available. On the way home from the first shopping excursion, the girls decided that I needed an earring. Sure, I said, on the pretense of being sincere. On the second trip, they wouldn’t let it go. “Come on, Papa,” they chirped in chorus, “get your ear pierced,” accentuating the plea by flashing a small ruby earring, my birthstone. Remember, they were talking to a 71-year-old guy who has few frivolous thoughts these days, a deep-seated fear of pain and never once in his life considered going about with an earring. For as long as I can remember, I even looked with a touch of smug and detached curiosity at males who did. However, little girls are mighty persuasive. Then, the thought occurred that if I were to accede, the experience would be etched in their memories and

be something they’d cherish for the rest of their lives. How could I refuse? Even so, I hadn’t convinced myself. A text to grandson Noah, home in Humboldt, was answered with a resounding “NO,” but, he added on second thought, “it would be cool.” I watched Olivia get her ears pierced without so much as a flinch, which assuaged my fears. If it doesn’t hurt her, I thought, surely it wouldn’t me. “OK,” I finally said, and hopped into the piercing chair, relaxed, and, truth be known, hardly felt a thing. Notified of my indiscretion, Noah’s reply was surprising: “Awesome!” The girls were just as enthusiastic, though to a one they admitted to mild surprise I didn’t back out. Later, Roswellian grandson Hudson just shook his head when he saw me sporting the little red dot in my ear. Of course, I can remove the tiny earring anytime I want and the ear will heal over. But, you know what, it’s kind of growing on me. Now for tattoos and a motorcycle, that’s a little much. There is, after all, a limit to my bravado.
Letters to the editor Dear editor,
I am hoping that you will be able to help us notify the men and women who deployed with the 891st Engineer Battalion in 2005 in Operation Iraq Freedom, that there is going to be a reunion July 18. Some have retired or gotten out of the National Guard since returning and we have lost track of them. The reunion will be from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. on July 18 at our home. Soldiers should call 785-231-4067 or check the 891st Facebook page to get details. David Fehr, family assistance specialist at the Iola Armory, also can be contacted at 620365-4020 or 785-806-1765. We are looking forward to reuniting after 10 years. Thank you, CW4 (Ret.) Nick Hay and wife Vicki Dear editor,
What’s in a name?
Look at our governor’s. I think it would be very appropriate if his middle name started with an O. Then instead of using foul language you could just say his initials and make the same point. While there are some good legislators that really try to help, the good ones are far outnumbered by the yo-yos. You know, those little things you control on a string to make them do what you want. These yo-yos are controlled by a string attached to money. They bounce here and there, passing dumb bills and creating many loopholes so their wealthy controllers pay very little, if any, taxes. Samie-O and the yo-yos would like us to believe people on welfare are just too lazy to work and are the cause for the state being short of money. They have made laws that are supposed to force them to go to work. I guess they think they will have no
problem finding work with all those jobs they have created. Has anyone seen any? No. And the fact that they don’t even know you can’t get $25 from an ATM shows the depth of their intelligence. Then we have Kris Kobach, secretary of state. The yo-yos have given him and SamieO every power they asked for. Kobach is out there now with his spy glass checking every crack and crevice for fraud. Hey Kris, here’s a clue for you, pick up a mirror and look straight into it. There, you have found the biggest fraud that ever hit Kansas right there at the end of your arm. There’s lots of things you could charge that bad boy with but he need not fear. The Koch boys are near. Wake up, Kansas. Vote with your brain instead of your eyes that just look at the party. — Maude Burns, Iola, Kan.

Baltimore investor only backs women-run companies BALTIMORE (TNS) — Kelly Keenan Trumpbour believes women should put their money where their mouths are. The 37-year-old invests her money solely in companies run by women, driven by a philosophy of female empowerment and a desire to shake up the traditional white male corporate culture. She founded See Jane Invest two years ago to help educate other women on how to become investors. Trumpbour, who sits on the board of directors for Baltimore Angels, an early-stage investment group, has invested in four women-run companies so far and plans on backing a few more this year. She typically invests about $10,000 at a time. “If you had more women running companies, imagine how the economic landscape might change,� Trumpbour said. “In order to have a more diverse corporate world, I believe in backing companies with money.� As someone who invests only in femalerun firms, Trumpbour doesn’t have a lot of company. She and others involved in venture and angel investing in Baltimore said she is the only one in the area who follows that particular strategy. The startup and venture capital scene in the U.S. has long had a reputation of being male-dominated. Women partners in venture capital firms have even declined from 10 percent in 1999 to 6 percent last year, according to the Diana Project at Babson College. The same study found that only 2.7 percent of venture capitalfunded companies had a
woman CEO. Trumpbour came to Baltimore from Detroit about 15 years ago, working for various political and nonprofit groups, including serving time on the board of the Women Under Forty Political Action Committee, a group that financially supports younger female political candidates, and cofounding Running Start, a nonprofit focused on encouraging young women to run for office. In 2010, she and her husband, Jason Trumpbour, decided they wanted to start a family. But her attempts to get pregnant came with health complications that landed her in the hospital. After a couple of years of trying, she came to terms with switching gears. The first company Trumpbour put money into was Allovue, a Baltimore-based educational software firm that has raised about $1.7 million in seed funding and is conducting pilot programs in schools in Baltimore and New Haven, Conn. The company’s software helps school districts track both spending and outcomes. Allovue founder Jess Gartner, a friend of
Palandech met Trumpbour later at a meeting of the Pipeline Fellowship angel investing boot camp for women in Washington, D.C., last year. “My experience of going out there and presenting to investors is that it can be a stretch and a challenge for traditional angel groups to understand what we’re trying to do ethically, morally, and also from a business standpoint
Trumpbour’s, shares her philosophy on the need for more diverse investors. “It’s not an accident that most of the capital is in the hands of white men and most of the money invested is with white men,� Gartner said. “The world is not a meritocracy, and I think Silicon Valley has been trying to push a meritocracy narrative for a long time, and that’s not the way the world works.� Trumpbour also invested in Hip Chicks Farms, a Californiabased company that makes frozen chicken products without artificial ingredients. Serafina Palandech,
Hip Chick’s president, said finding investors as a woman can still be rife with sexism. After months of meetings with a man who seemed interested in her company, she took a plane to Los Angeles to meet up and finalize the investment documents. But when she arrived, she discovered he was more interested in her than her company. “When I got down there, he had rented a hotel room for us,� she said. “This was months of my time, and he had no intention of investing. It’s out of control.�

what the chance of success is,� Palandech said. “There’s a lot of investors that don’t get it. Kelly immediately understood it and got it.� Since then, Palandech said, she’s attracted more investors, including two who are male, and is distributing her product on the East Coast. She said she appreciated having a female investor, especially given her earlier encounter.

Windsor Place‌ Residents keep coming back for quality care.
“I’ve been at Windsor Place for about four months. I broke my leg and knew I wasn’t ready to go home when I left the hospital. It was easy to come back to Windsor Place the second time because I knew I would get good care. I’d say I’ve improved about 90% since coming here. I really enjoy going to therapy everyday and look forward to improving even more so I can eventually go home.� – Frank Goudy, Resident at Windsor Place Frank Goudy is one of our many repeat customers. His first visit followed a shoulder injury. He recovered in about three months and was able to return home. This visit has been a little longer. Frank has found recovering from a broken leg to be a little more difficult since it affects his mobility more. When Frank arrived in February he couldn’t even stand on his own. Our therapy team worked with Frank’s doctors to develop a
therapy regime that would help him recover and return to his own home. He has worked hard and, with the help of our therapy department, Frank is know able to walk on his own. It will be a bit longer before Frank is ready take care of himself in his own home, but in the meantime, he’s content to be at Windsor Place where he gets quality care and the therapy he needs.

Iola community, Latta family relish baseball success By SPENCER MICHELSON The Iola Register
Baseball has been a big part of Iola’s history — especially in recent memory. Iola High’s Mustangs took second at the Class 4A-II State Baseball Tournament in 2012, just eight years after the introduction of the sport at the high school. Also making a mark on Iola is the American Legion AA Post 15, with back-toback state championships in 2012 and 2013. Several Iola families have been a focal point for that success. None more so than the Lattas. From each of those teams listed above at least one of the three Latta boys were involved. Ryan, 23, Jarred, 21, and Trent, 19, have been one of many families to grow up through the American Legion program. Baseball is in their blood. “It’s up there pretty high,” Randy Latta, their father, said. “I always loved baseball when I was growing up. I would get up at 6:30 a.m. and get a rubber ball out, throw it against the garage. I woke the neighbors up a couple times and got in trouble for that.” A lot of the credit for Post 15’s rejuvenation in the mid2000s goes to Dick Perkins. Randy emphasized how much Perkins helped the fledgling program — there was a roster shortage at the time. Randy said Perkins reignited public interest in the Legion program by going door-to-door and requesting donations. Due to Perkins’ efforts, the Lattas — as well as the Hefferns, Siggs, Ericksons and many other names embedded in Iola’s DNA — had the chance to play baseball against some of the best teams and players in the state. Ryan, the oldest of the Latta bunch, played for four years and went to the state Legion tournament in 2011. Jarred and Trent each played five years and were part of the 2012 and 2013 state championship teams. “That’s what we did,” Randy said. “We didn’t take any vacations, our bank account showed it. Especially in the
Above, American Legion AA Post 15 celebrate a walk-off homer by Jacob Carpenter last season. The Indians have had much in recent years thanks to the effort of Dick Perkins. The Latta family —Trent, left, Jarred, center, and Ryan — have been apart of the team’s success. They are just one of many families to make baseball a staple of the Iola community. REGISTER FILE PHOTOS earlier years when all three of them were involved with traveling baseball.” Randy said his sons have always had a competitiveness between them. “There is that battle between them. That’s the way it was growing up. My parents have a farm across town, right across from Hibbett Sports,” Randy said. “If you would come down there sometime, there would be a lot of arguments because they’d be playing. They were really competitive and I probably had a little to do with that because I was, too. But, they love the game.” Although Jarred and Ryan no longer play competitively they are still both very involved. Both work for Iola’s Recreation Department and umpire recreation baseball and softball games. Both also work with a couple of traveling 14-and-under and 12-and-
under teams. Jarred is now a coach on the Legion team this season — the final year that Trent is eligible to play. “When we found out that Trent would be able to play for a fifth year, Jarred said, ‘I want to help,’” Randy said. “At first I thought it would be kind of a cat fight. But, I think it’s worked out really well.” Jarred works as assistant to head coach Roland Weir, with his biggest contribution waving in runs as the third base coach. “I never played a summer without a brother on the team, so I always had that going,” Jarred said. “Ryan was more of a lead by example player and doesn’t talk as much as Trent does.” Jarred is enjoying his time as a coach on the team. “The good thing about
coaching is that it takes you back to the moments you had playing,” Jarred said. “You see how the kids feel and go back to when you were in their shoes. You see them succeed. You see a kid that comes up in the bottom of the seventh and gets a walk-off hit and his teammates celebrate with him. “You see that and want to feel that again. That’s part of the reason why you coach. It’s the closest you can get to playing without actually playing.” This is Trent’s last season on the team. He currently pitches for Neosho County Community College and has one more year left of eligibility at the school. “I know I’m going to have a hard time because this is the last year one of my sons will be on legion,” Randy said. “My wife says I won’t know
what to do. Hopefully I can help some of these other kids and keep baseball going in Iola.” Patty, married to Randy for 24 years, has been an integral part of keeping everyone on track. “She’s a real trooper. She helps with all the traveling, washing the uniforms and making sure everyone was where they needed to be. I’m just living the dream being around baseball,” Randy said. “She loves it as much as I do. I know the kids sometimes get a little bit tired, but this is what they’ve always liked to do.” Although Randy was never officially a coach on the team, he helped out where he could. He’d help throw batting practice and he’s always been on the other side of the backstop cheering for the team. “Randy is the guy that in a 12-0 game that we’re leading, will be yelling, ‘Get up guys! What are you guys doing!” Jarred said. Randy is famously known as the “Icy-Hot Man,” to the team. He always has the salve with him to patch up a player. Clint Heffern, 21, was a teammate on the 2012 Post 15 team with Jarred. He said the family has always been a part of the team since it got its restart in the mid-2000s by Perkins. “The legion is good because it helps bring families together and helps the high school team get better,” Heffern said. “It’s a great asset to this community.” Heffern agreed with Jarred that the team lets kids in the area play against tougher competition. “It allowed me to play baseball throughout the summer,” Jarred said. “I thought in Legion we would see more pop on the fastball than in high school. There were more games and opportunities to succeed outside of this area, with traveling to tournaments throughout Kansas.” The American Legion team has helped make Iola synonymous with baseball throughout Kansas. The Lattas, and many other area families, are the reason why.

Jayhawks’ Oubre to Wizards in draft-day trade By HOWARD FENDRICH
AP Sports Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) — From his spike-covered shoes to his initial interviews as an NBA draftee, Kelly Oubre sure made quite a first impression. On the basketball court, the Washington Wizards are willing to be patient with the 19-year-old Oubre. Washington moved up four spots in the first round to get the Kansas freshman in a trade with the Atlanta Hawks, who selected Oubre with the 15th overall pick Thursday night. “We’re not expecting him to come in here next year and take over the program,” Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld said. In New York, Oubre’s
white slip-ons got their share of attention, as did this declaration during ESPN’s coverage of the draft: “Whoever gets me is getting a jewel.” During a conference call with reporters in Washington, Oubre ex-
confidence in myself, so I believed that I was a top-10 pick from the getgo.” The Wizards took Notre Dame point guard Jerian Grant — whose father, Harvey, played for Washington — at No.
Oubre pronounced himself ready to give the Wizards “300 percent” and explained, “I have confidence in myself, so I believed that I was a top-10 pick from the get-go.”
plained his shoes this way: “Just being stylish, man. I have swag, so I know for sure that I can steal the show with some of the stuff that I put on.” He pronounced himself ready to give the Wizards “300 percent” and explained, “I have
19 and sent his rights to the Hawks, who flipped him to the New York Knicks for guard Tim Hardaway Jr. Washington also sent second-round picks in 2016 and 2019 to Atlanta in the deal. The 6-foot-7, 203-pound Oubre, a left-
handed shooter, averaged 9.3 points and 5.0 rebounds, while making 35.8 percent of his 3-point attempts, as a small forward during his only college season. Grunfeld said he could see Oubre playing at small forward or shooting guard. “There’s a lot of things he has to work on, but he has natural physical abilities. He can get up and down the floor. He’s very quick. He’s long. He has a good feel for the game. He can get to the basket. And can defend both positions,” Grunfeld said. “So we think he has a good future, but it’s going to take him some time, obviously, like it takes every young player.” With their other pick Thursday, No. 49 overall, the Wizards took
Iowa power forward Aaron White. Coach Randy Wittman said Oubre is going to need to improve in certain areas, “and I can’t sit here and tell you what that timetable is without being with him and working with him and seeing where he’s at and his personality and how quickly he picks things up. Those are things we’ll learn about him.” With a core of point guard John Wall, shooting guard Bradley Beal and small forward Otto Porter — all taken among the top three overall picks — the Wizards have made it to the Eastern Conference semifinals the past two seasons. Washington was eliminated by Atlanta this season. The Wizards know
t h e y might need to re place forward P a u l P i e r c e, the 17y e a r veteran who has Kelly Oubre a contract option to stay with the club next season but could decline it so he can become a free agent. Wall, a starter in this season’s All-Star game, was the No. 1 overall pick in 2010, Beal was taken No. 3 in 2012, and Porter went No. 3 in 2013. Washington went 4636 this season, the franchise’s most victories since 1978-79, then swept the Toronto Raptors in the first round of the playoffs before losing to the Hawks in six games.
Fan’s MLB odyssey across America is a renewal and a hoot By CHRIS ERSKINE Los Angeles Times
(TNS) ANAHEIM, Calif. — Moses had his desert. Magellan had the high seas. Chuck Booth, less renowned but equally driven, has more than 200 baseball games to conquer _ one or two a day, across all 30 MLB opera houses in the course of a single season. This week, he was in Anaheim to notch three Angels games. On Wednesday, after his getaway game in the afternoon, he raced to the airport to catch a flight to San Francisco, where he would take in the evening game at AT&T Park (games 97 and 98 in his season-long quest). “Why?” you ask. Or, “How?” We’ll get to that. To fully appreciate Booth’s 200-plus-game journey across America, keep in mind he is doing this consecutively, at least one game a day up to the All-Star break, then at least one game a day until the end of the regular season. Such a task seems nearly biblical, especially given the $100-a-day budget he’s set for himself: tickets, transit, lodging, Alka-Seltzer and all. Look, you’ve got to love baseball to play baseball. And you’ve got to love it maybe a little too much to commit to something like this. Just think of
all the stale pop music Booth has had to endure ... the flat beer, the notso-hot hot dogs. Add to that the parking hassles, flight delays, rental car snafus. ... Even if you live, drink and breathe baseball, doesn’t it get old? “It’s better than work, explains Booth, a 38-yearold Vancouver, British Columbia, native . “It’s still better to go to a baseball game than the office.” The odyssey is part vocation for Booth, part therapy. This hyper-tour gives him fodder for a baseball blog he owns called MLBreports.com (he is not affiliated with or subsidized by Major League Baseball). His cross-country trip is also part of a spiritual renewal after a devastating hit-and-run accident that nearly put him on the DL for good in 2010. Dealing with the remnants of a concussion, plus head trauma issues from his own playing days in baseball and football, the trip forces him to stay mentally focused. In the end, baseball’s marathon man sees this as a way to fight off the forgetfulness that often dogs him, and a way to raise concussion awareness. Besides, it’s just a hoot. In 2012, on a similar jaunt, Booth took in all 30 parks in 23 days: This has turned him into one
Chuck Booth, a resident of Vancouver, British Columbia, attends the Los Angeles Angels-Houston Astros game on Tuesday at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, Calif. Booth is on a quest to attend home games for all 30 MLB teams this season. TNS/LOS ANGELES TIMES/LUIS SINCO of the game’s best authorities on the fan experience. Favorite ballpark: AT&T. Favorite food: Boog’s prime rib barbecue sandwich in Baltimore. Honorable mentions: cheesesteak in Philly and the pork chop on a stick in Minneapolis. Least favorite cities: Houston, then Toronto. Items that add ambience: friendly fans, red brick, organ music, WiFi, vendors who stay out of the way, signage that honors a team’s past accomplishments. At a total budget of $22,500 for his tour, this
seems a viable bucket list item for a single super fan with a sense of adventure. But would you ever? And what would your family think? “They used to think it was crazy,” Booth admits. “But once they saw what it did for me as a person ... having my own website and all, they see the merits of it now.” Such a trip seems gluttonous in some ways, in others not. Booth’s travel secrets include scouting free parking near stadiums and taking advantage of StubHub discounts. He also brings his own water to games, then adds powdered lem-
onade. Relying on Megabus.com, he took 150 bus trips in the East that cost him a total of $250. It’s all part of an effort to stay within his $100-aday budget. In August, he’s back for a Los Angeles Dodgers homestand, where he will take advantage of the all-you-can-eat deal with a group of buddies. To catch a game with Booth is to hear stories of the road, thoughts on trades, theories on how no one should ever play catcher (it left him with gimpy knees). It’s also a chance to breathe deep a ballpark, take in its musk, sonics,
visuals, vibe. But hanging with Booth reminds us that the best part of baseball — the most cerebral of all the sporting arts — is how it can get you out of your own head. During a rally Tuesday night, fans throughout the stadium held up their lighted phones. Suddenly, it was as if the stadium had filled with fireflies. “Wow, is that cool!” gasped Booth, who hadn’t seen anything like it in his nearly 100 stadium stops. In that quirky aside, baseball’s Moses had found his moment.

KU guard Frank Mason draws praise from former star Sherron Collins By RUSTIN DODD The Kansas City Star
(TNS) LAWRENCE, Kan. — Sherron Collins was sitting up against a wall outside the Kansas basketball practice gym, beads of sweat still collecting on his forehead. It was a Wednesday in June, a scorching hot afternoon, and Collins, the former Kansas star guard, had just spent an hour scrimmaging with the current KU roster. Collins leaned against a wall near a staircase. He knew the question was coming. And why not? He knew someone was about to ask him about Frank Mason, the Jayhawks’ lead guard, the rising junior who resembles Collins in both stature and style. “I’ve bought into it,” Collins said, smiling. “He’s a bulldog. He reminds me of myself in so many ways.” Indeed. Mason’s story these days cannot be told without first at least mentioning Collins. Mason is an undersized lead guard, just like Collins. Mason is physical and quick and loves to attack the rim, just like Collins. Mason is also fearless, and this description comes from Collins himself. Let Collins explain: “I just think he’s fearless,” Collins said. “I just looked at it (like), when I played somebody, I just knew — I didn’t think — I kind of knew he couldn’t guard me. I think that’s
the same approach that Frank is taking.” It was evident, at least, that this was the approach Mason took during Kansas’ 91-83 exhibition victory over Team Canada on Tuesday night at the Sprint Center. Mason finished with 28 points, six rebounds and five assists on nine-of-14 shooting. He poured in 16 points in the fourth quarter. He seized control of the game in the final minutes, lifting the Jayhawks to a win in their first tuneup before the World University Games in July. The Jayhawks will return to the Sprint Center at 7 p.m. Friday, facing Canada again before taking off for South Korea on Sunday.
hawks’ b e s t player — bef o r e power f o r w a r d Perry Frank Mason E l l i s hit a groove in the final weeks of Big 12 play. But Tuesday’s performance could be described as a Collins-type performance, which perhaps is the biggest compliment of all. “It’s just a joy to see him keep growing, because he’s getting it,” Collins says. “He’s going to get it; he knows the importance of it. I think he understands now, being the upperclassmen, he has to be
It’s just a joy to see Mason keep growing, because he’s getting it. He’s going to get it; he knows the importance of it. I think he understands now, being the upperclassmen, he has to be the leader. — Sherron Collins
“I hit a couple shots late and just felt pretty confident,” Mason said. “But I just have to give props to my teammates.” In the moments after the game, Kansas coach Bill Self offered the idea that it might have been Mason’s best game as a Jayhawk, which may or may not be true. Mason averaged 12.6 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game as a sophomore. He was, for most of the season, the Jay-
the leader.” While he never found consistent success at the professional level, comparing anyone to Collins is serious business. After a decorated four-year career, Collins became Kansas’ fifth all-time leading scorer. And when Self discusses his NCAA Championship team from 2008, he generally reserves the most reference for Collins. “Sherron is the baddest boy we’ve had here,” Self said earlier

this year, when asked to compare Mason to Collins. “It’s hard to say that anybody is Sherron. ... There’s nobody that came in here that was a better basketball player than Sherron Collins, period. “The thing about it is, Frank’s more athletic than Sherron, because as Sherron got older, I don’t think he was quite as explosive as he was when he was young. But I love Frank (and) that would be a great goal, for him to get to the point where he can play like Sherron, because that guy was a special college player.” Mason will be just a junior this fall, and just like Collins, his size likely will make him a four-year player. In this way, Self says, Mason is close to the perfect college guard — good enough to dominate at the college level, too small to mesmerize NBA scouts. But as the Jayhawks embark on the World University Games, Mason believes he has room to improve. He can become more vocal, he says, something that has never come easily. This summer, he will play alongside SMU senior point guard Nic Moore, a natural and confident leader. Self believes the experience will help. “Frank is a terrific talent,” Self said. “I’m not sure there’s anybody in our league, from a raw talent standpoint that can do more things than Frank. But Frank is not a natural
point guard. Nick is a natural — just verbally, getting guys organized, understanding what all five guys are supposed to be doing at all times. Frank is more of a player. But he’s trying really hard. I think Nick can teach him how to be better at the intangible things.” Mason also believes he find more comfort running a team. He can tighten up his ballhandling. He can improve his shot. He can continue his evolution, day

by day, slowly growing into one of college basketball’s best guards. “I see what all the other guys used to say when they (saw) me play,” Collins said. A moment later, Collins tried to describe the similarities. He paused for a second, trying to find the right way to label Mason’s game. He settled on this: Mason, Collins says, can do things that few guards can. “He’s got a lot of stuff,” Collins said.

US Supreme Court gay marriage ruling impacts Kansas case TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The U.S. Supreme Courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruling declaring that gay couples have a right to marry anywhere in the country is expected to bring a quick resolution to a similar case over a Kansas ban that is still before a lower federal court. The American Civil Liberties Union had filed a lawsuit in Octo-
ber on behalf of two lesbian couples who were denied marriage licenses in Douglas County in northeast Kansas and in Sedgwick County in south-central Kansas. U.S. District Judge Daniel Crabtree issued a preliminary ruling in that case that gay couples could marry in Kansas, but not all counties have been issuing the licenses.
Crabtree ruled in November that the state couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enforce the ban while the lawsuit was heard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For us it means that we win,â&#x20AC;? said Doug Bonney, legal director for the ACLUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chapter in Kansas. Crabtree could rule at any time now on pending motions seeking a summary ruling that permanently

sion banning same-sex marriage. The ACLU said Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Supreme Court ruling â&#x20AC;&#x153;should make it easier for him to do so.â&#x20AC;? A one-day trial on the lawsuit previously was set for November. Bonney said the case could be resolved more quickly if the state would â&#x20AC;&#x153;admit defeatâ&#x20AC;? and drop its defense of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ban.
the state will study the ruling further before making any moves in the lawsuit. Equality Kansas Executive Director Tom Witt said Friday that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoping that Schmidt will â&#x20AC;&#x153;do the right thing.â&#x20AC;? Witt said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happy about the ruling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today we are celebrating and tomorrow we will go back
to work,â&#x20AC;? said Kerry Wilks, one of the plaintiffs challenging the Kansas ban. Gay and lesbian couples in Kansas still face discrimination, she said, noting it is legal in the state to fire a person for getting married. Brownback has been a strong supporter of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ban on gay marriage. Voters approved an amendment to the Kansas Constitution in 2005 to reinforce that policy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Activist courts should not overrule the people of this state, who have clearly supported the Kansas Constitutionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definition of marriage as being between one man and one woman,â&#x20AC;? Brownback said in a statement.
Court upholds conviction of Fort Scott man TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Kansas Supreme Court has upheld the felony murder conviction of a Fort Scott man whose wife died in an arson fire. In an opinion released Friday, the court rejected arguments made by Brent Bollinger in an appeal of
his life sentence for the death of Brenna Nicole Bollinger. She died in a fire at the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home in October 2013. The coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2-year-old son, Bryson, was hospitalized for nearly a month after the fire. Bollinger also suffered serious burns in the fire. Brenna Bollinger had
filed for divorce but still lived at the house. Bollinger argued in his appeal that his wife had no interest in the home, which is an essential part of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arson law. He also claimed the prosecutor made inappropriate comments during the trial.

IS affiliate hits mosque in Kuwait, killing 25 people
KUWAIT CITY (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A suicide bomber purportedly from an Islamic State affiliate unleashed the first terrorist attack in Kuwait in more than two decades on Friday, killing at least 25 people and wounding scores more in a bombing that targeted Shiite worshippers after midday prayers. The bombing struck the Imam Sadiq Mosque in the residential neighborhood of al-Sawabir in Kuwaitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital, Kuwait City. It is one of the oldest Shiite mosques in Kuwait, a predominantly Sunni Arab nation where at least at third of the population is believed to be Shiite
Security forces stand guard outside the Imam Sadiq Mosque following a suicide bomb blast on Friday in Kuwait City. Noufal Moodadi/Xinhua/Zuma Press/TNS Muslims. It was the third attack in five weeks to be claimed by a purported IS affiliate calling itself the Najd Province, a refer-
ence to the central region of Saudi Arabia where the ultraconservative Sunni ideology of Wahhabism originated. The upstart IS branch
had claimed two prior bombing attacks on Shiite mosques in Saudi Arabia that killed 26 people in late May. The group was unheard of until the first Saudi bombing. The attack took place as worshippers were standing shoulder to shoulder in group prayer, according to one of the witnesses at the mosque, Hassan al-Haddad. The explosion ripped through the back of the mosque, near the door, he said, adding that other worshippers behind him said they saw a man walk in, stand in the back with other congregants and detonate his device.
Another witness, Ahmed al-Shawaf, said he heard a man interrupt prayer by shouting â&#x20AC;&#x153;Allahu Akbar,â&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;God is Greatâ&#x20AC;? in Arabic, several times. The man then he yelled out something about joining the Prophet Muhammad for iftar, the dusk meal with which Muslims break their daytime fasting during the holy month of Ramadan, which started last week. Then, the blast came, alShawaf said. The explosion took place near the end of a second prayer, which is traditional to Shiites and follows the main midday Friday prayer.
The Ministry of Interior said 25 people were killed and 202 wounded. Police formed a cordon around the mosqueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s complex immediately after the explosion, banning people from entering or gathering near the area. Ambulances could be seen ferrying the wounded from the site. A posting on a Twitter account known to belong to the Islamic State group claimed the explosion was work of a suicide bomber wearing an explosive belt. It said the attack was carried out by the Najd Province, which also claimed the Saudi bombings.
QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers
3
1. Junior a romantic?
THINGS WE LEARNED DURING THE OFF-WEEK Associated Press file/RONDA CHURCHILL
Time to panic? Junior Earnhardt has hinted at retirement after getting engaged to Amy Reimann.
Florence, Paris, Santorini, Venice ... thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lots of romantic places in Europe. But Germany? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll still give Dale Earnhardt Jr. some major romance points, though. He went all the way to Europe on a family roots fact-finding mission, found a little chapel and asked Amy Reimann to marry him. She said yes.
Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s riding higher, Amy or Erik? Flip a coin. Both are coming off the biggest weeks of their lives (call it a hunch). The immediate headlines for both indicate great things for the near and long term â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Amy Reimann officially became engaged to NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading man, Dale Earnhardt Jr.; Erik Jones, at 19, confirmed his â&#x20AC;&#x153;future starâ&#x20AC;? label by sweeping the Trucks and Xfinity Series races at Iowa and Chicagoland Speedway. In the aftermath, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hugs for Amy and backslaps for Erik.
2. Dillon gets a makeover Starting this weekend, Austin Dillon will drive under new crew chief Richard â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sluggerâ&#x20AC;? Labbe. A former Xfinity Series and Trucks Series champion, Dillon is 23rd in the Sprint Cup Series points standings. His best finish this season is 10th at Bristol. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see how this shake-up helps with his Chase chances dwindling.
Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it all mean?
3. Jonesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sweet sweep Trucks and Xfinity success doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always mean Cup success, but you have to be thinking, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up with this Erik Jones guy?â&#x20AC;? After sweeping wins in both â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and at different tracks â&#x20AC;&#x201D; last weekend, and becoming the youngest to do so, expectations for Jones are already soaring.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next for Erik Jones after sweeping the Trucks and Xfinity races last weekend? NASCAR fans are anxious to find out.
THINGS TO WATCH FOR AT SONOMA
And for Amy? The engagement, while a long time coming, was no surprise. The bigger news, perhaps, was Junior actually talking retirement last week, suggesting he might be looking for the exit within a few years.
1. Track made for Tony
2. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprised if ...
3. Parity streak
We keep waiting for Tony Stewart to re-emerge as one of the marquee drivers, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no better place than Sonoma to make that move. He owns two wins, five top-5s and nine top-10s.
This is the track where drivers you might not choose in the office pool can wind up in Victory Lane. Clint Bowyer and Ryan Newman are among the leaders in driver ratings here.
Dating back to 2001, Jeff Gordon is the lone two-time winner at Sonoma. Is this the week he breaks the skid in his farewell season?

Might want to keep an eye on Clint Bowyer, who is no stranger to success at Sonoma Raceway.

WINNER: AJ Allmendinger. REST OF TOP 5: Kevin Harvick, Jeff Gordon, Kasey Kahne, Kurt Busch. FIRST ONE OUT: Boris Said.
DARK HORSE: Dale Earnhardt Jr. DONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T BE SURPRISED IF: Yes, Junior is a dark horse at a road course, but also look for Tony Stewart to finally make his presence known.

For Erik Jones, this validates the faith Kyle Busch had in him when Jones was hired (at age 17, by the way) to drive Kyleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Truck Series entry. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the Joe Gibbs stable and is certainly pointed toward the Cup Series. Problem is, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no room in the main barn at Gibbs, where the show ponies are Busch, Denny Hamlin, Carl Edwards and Matt Kenseth. Then again, those things can change once the shadows start to grow long on existing contracts.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;SLUGGERâ&#x20AC;? LABBE
GIL MARTIN VS. â&#x20AC;&#x153;SLUGGERâ&#x20AC;? LABBE: Richard Childress taps Labbe to replace Martin as crew chief for the struggling Austin Dillon. KEN WILLISâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; TAKE: â&#x20AC;&#x153;No outward hostility here, because these moves are typical when a big-money team is struggling.â&#x20AC;?
