New White House chief carries big stick Comms director out after 10 days

By BRIAN BENNETT and NOAH BIERMAN Tribune News Service

WASHINGTON (TNS) — Anthony Scaramucci, the brash New Yorker who was announced just 10 days ago as President Donald Trump’s incoming communications di-

rector, was ousted on Monday as new White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly moved quickly to exert control over a chaotic administration.

Kelly pulled Scaramucci aside shortly after 9:30 a.m. and told him he was out of the job that he hadn’t yet officially assumed, according to a person close to the White House.

That was just after Kelly, the former Homeland Security secretary, was sworn in as chief of staff to replace the displaced Re- John Kelly ince Priebus — and a few hours after Trump had tweeted “No WH chaos!”

While Scaramucci’s time at the center of the presi-

dent’s circle was short, it was consequential, prompting Priebus’ departure on Friday and, a week before that, Sean Spicer’s resignation as White House press secretary.

Scaramucci also pushed out an assistant press secretary, Michael Short, who resigned last week after Scaramucci accused him of leaking.

Both Priebus and Spicer had counseled Trump against naming Scaramucci, given

what they considered his unsuitability for the job.

In a sign of the breakneck speed at which the White House turmoil is playing out, Scaramucci had not even officially begun his job when he was forced out, while Spicer, the man he replaced, had not actually left yet since he had agreed to help with the transition.

A lucrative night for livestock sellers Hospital’s mammogram services suspended

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

A lucrative Monday evening saw Allen County youngsters rake in more than $41,000 in premiums at the annual Allen County Fair 4-H and FFA Livestock Premium Auction.

The event marks the traditional finale for fair activities at Riverside Park.

Swine were the big sellers at Monday’s auction. Thirteen hogs brought in a combined $13,975 in premiums.

A premium is any money a buyer pays above market price. As has become custom for local buyers, the premiums frequently were worth more alone than the animals’ base bids.

Carly Dreher’s grand champion crossbred swine, for example, drew a $2,500 premium. That premium was matched only Brody Nemecek’s grand champion steer in the cattle sale.

Fourteen steers or heifers were sold in the cattle sale for a combined $13,550 in premiums.

Sixteen meat goats were sold for a combined $10,725 in premiums. Leading the way was Julianna Sprague’s reserve class champion, which garnered $1,650.

Shelby Sprague was right behind with $1,600.

Three sheep received $2,775 in premiums, topped

by Natalea Elmenhorst’s class champion crossbred lamb, which garnered $1,325.

The cash kept flowing even after the bidding

A Fishy Story Belinda Garten DVM It seems that summer has arrived, and so have backyard barbeques, swimming and maybe even time casting a line. While some are only interested in catching and releasing the fish, others enjoy a good meal at the end of the day. Why not? As it turns out, fish is an excellent source of energy, and is becoming a factor in the treatment of several health conditions…and not just in humans. Our pets, also, can benefit from the addition of omega fatty acids to their diet.

Fish is packed with fatty acids, specifically omega-3 (which is considered the “good fat”) and omega-6 fatty acids. A lot of research has been done on fish oil supplements, and a variety of benefits have been discovered. While the fatty acids in general help with the absorption of several vitamins, the omega-3 fatty acids are known to help develop the eyes of unborn and newborn puppies and support the normal development of the brain, nerves, heart and reproductive system. They also help manage chronic inflammatory issues, such as colitis and arthritis. Older pets will see the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids through assisting with brain and cognitive function that can deteriorate as they age. Perhaps most commonly noticed, is the healthy skin and hair coat that can replace dry, itchy skin. Most fish oil supplements contain EPA and DHA, the most common omega-3 fatty acids.

The omega-6 fatty acids are found in meat products, egg yolks, whole grains, and vegetable oil. The most common omega-6 fatty acids are LA, GLA, AA, and DGLA, which is how they are written on most labels on the container. While the omega-6 fatty acids are also important for the absorption of certain vitamins, they do not have as many health benefits as the omega-3 fatty acids. Many dog food bags now indicated that they contain fatty acids, but care must be taken to ensure that they are the “good fats”, and not necessarily a lot of omega-6 fatty acids.

It is also important to understand that not all fish oil is the same. As the saying goes, “You get what you pay for”. The best way to ensure that the fish oil is of the best quality, is to check the manufacturer’s Certificate of Analysis, or CoA. This will ensure that the fish used to produce the oil are healthy and from areas where the water is not polluted. Because fish oil can become rancid, it usually comes in the form of a gel capsule, or in a bottle that must be refrigerated. The CoA will also provide you with the confidence that the fish that were harvested were also replaced to ensure sustainability, and that the oil was properly prepared to prevent it from becoming rancid.

Finally, it is important to understand that fish oil, despite the many benefits, also adds calories to your pet’s diet. This must be taken into consideration if your pet is not at a healthy weight prior to beginning the supplement. It is important to discuss any supplements that you wish to give your pet with your veterinarian before you begin to give them. If you have any questions about adding fish oil, or any other supplement to your pet’s diet, be sure to give us a call at Red Barn Veterinary Service. We will be happy to answer your questions. Until then, keep casting away your worries, and reap the benefits that eating your catch can provide!

ACA: Trump’s threats could become problematic Continued from A1

dies are under a legal cloud because of a dispute over whether the Obama health care law properly approved the payments. Other parts of the health care law, however, clearly direct the government to reimburse insurers.

With the issue unresolved, the Trump administration has been paying insurers each month, as the Obama administration had done previously.

Trump returned to the question last week after the GOP drive to repeal the health care law fell apart in the Senate, tweeting, “As I said from the beginning, let ObamaCare implode, then deal. Watch!”

He elaborated in another tweet, “If a new HealthCare Bill is not approved quickly, BAILOUTS for Insurance Companies...will end very soon!”

It’s not accurate to call the cost-sharing subsidies a bailout, said Tim Jost, a professor emeritus at Washington and

Lee University School of Law in Virginia.

“They are no more a bailout than payments made by the government to a private company for building a bomber,” he said.

That’s at the root of the Trump administration’s potential legal problem if the president makes good on this threat.

The health law clearly requires insurers to help low-income consumers with their copays and deductibles. Nearly 3 in 5 HealthCare.gov customers qualify for the assistance, which can reduce a deductible of $3,500 to several hundred dollars. The cost to the government is about $7 billion a year.

The law also specifies that government “shall make periodic and timely payments” to reimburse insurers for the cost-sharing assistance that they provide.

Nonetheless, the payments remain under a cloud because of a disagreement over whether they were properly ap-

proved in the language of the health law, by providing an “appropriation.”

The Constitution says the government shall not spend money without a congressional appropriation.

Think of an appropriation as an electronic instruction to your bank to pay a recurring monthly bill. You fully intend to pay, and the money you’ve budgeted is in your account. But the payment will not go out unless you specifically direct your bank to send it.

House Republicans trying to thwart the ACA sued the Obama administration in federal district court in Washington, arguing that the law lacked specific language appropriating the cost-sharing subsidies.

The district court judge agreed with House Republicans, and now the case is on hold before the U.S. appeals court in Washington. A group of state attorneys general are asking the appeals court to join in the case, in defense of the subsidies.

Bagley and Jost have followed the matter closely. They disagree on whether the health law properly approved the payments to insurers.

Bagley says it did not; while Jost says it did.

However, the two experts agree that insurers would have a solid lawsuit against the administration if Trump stops the payments. Insurers could sue in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, which hears claims for money against the government.

“The ACA promised to make these payments — that could not be clearer — and Congress has done nothing to limit that promise,” said Bagley.

“I think there would very likely be litigation if the Trump administration tries to cut off the payments,” said Jost.

Another way to resolve it: Congress could appropriate the money, even if temporarily, for a couple of years.

“Simply letting Obamacare collapse will cause even more pain,” House Ways and Means Com-

mittee Chairman Kevin Brady, R-Texas, said recently.

If the president makes good on his threat, experts estimate that premiums for a standard “silver” plan would increase by about 19 percent. Insurers could recover the cost-sharing money by raising premiums, since those are also subsidized by the ACA, and there’s no question about their appropriation.

But millions of people who buy individual health care policies without any financial assistance from the government would face prohibitive cost increases.

And more insurers might decide to leave already shaky markets.

California Attorney General Xavier Becerra says Trump’s tweets will bolster arguments from him and his counterparts in other states to intervene in the case.

“We need somebody who will stand up in court and defend the subsidies against the erratic nature of President Trump,” said Becerra.

people in desperate need, regardless of how odious the government that rules them is, and others credit the feeling in South Korea that aid could improve ties.

North Korea has had gradual economic growth in recent years and doesn’t appeal for foreign humanitarian assistance as much as it did in the past. Despite multiple rounds of U.N. sanctions, its leader, Kim Jong Un, has defiantly pushed his scientists to develop nuclear-tipped missiles capable of reaching the U.S. heartland. It testlaunched two intercontinental ballistic missile in the past month, and once Kim perfects such weapons, he may to try to extract bigger concessions from Washington.

An examination of how a country that frustrates and infuriates much of the world

manages to get what it wants: NUKES FOR AID

A relentless pursuit of nuclear weapons has been a major source of the country’s ability to pull in aid and concessions.

Since the North Korean nuclear crisis first started in 1993, its government has agreed to several now-dormant disar mament-for-aid deals.

One accord was signed with the United States following bilateral talks in Geneva in 1994, while others were struck with several regional powers including Washington during on-and-off multilateral forums that lasted from 2003 to 2008.

Under those deals, North Korea halted atomic activities or disabled key elements of its weapons programs in return for security guarantees, heavy fuel

shipments, promises of power-producing nuclear reactors and other aid. Despite it all, nothing has led to North Korea substantially dismantling its nuclear program.

Washington accused North Korea of cheating and covertly continuing its atomic work, while the North often accused the United States and others of failing to provide aid on time.

SOUTH KOREAN SUNSHINE

Seoul, though the North’s bitter enemy, has also helped its neighbor regularly.

During the Sunshine Era of inter-Korean detente from 1998 to 2008, liberals in Seoul espoused greater reconciliation. This was welcome in North Korea, which had depended on outside handouts to feed many of its 24 million people and revive an economy devastated

We Bring the Experts to You

by a famine that killed hundreds of thousands in the mid-1990s.

South Korea shipped hundreds of thousands of tons of rice and fertilizer to North Korea annually and engaged in cooperation projects that became some of the few legitimate sources of foreign currency for the North. The value of the cash and goods provided to North Korea during that time was $6.8 billion, according to Seoul’s Unification Ministry.

Liberals credit their engagement with lowering border animosities and allowing two landmark inter-Korean summit talks and emotional reunions of families separated by war. Critics question whether South Korean aid and investment reached those who needed it most or instead helped finance the North’s weapons programs.

Seoul’s large humani-

tarian assistance programs and cooperation projects were suspended after conservatives came to power in 2008.

CHINESE SUPPORT

China is widely seen as crucial to U.S.-led efforts to strip North Korea of atomic bombs.

China accounts for about 90 percent of North Korea’s trade, and it sends about 500,000 tons of crude oil to North Korea, mostly for free, every year. China and Russia are also the two biggest hubs for tens of thousands of North Korean workers dispatched abroad — another key source of income for the North.

Critics say Beijing has never fully implemented U.N. sanctions on the North out of worries that a North Korean collapse could cause a wave of refugees to cross the border into China and American troops to move into

the North. China is frustrated with North Korea, whose nuclear ambitions put Beijing in an awkward international position, but the Kim government still best serves China’s national interests.

Some believe even a brief suspension of Chinese oil would cause chaos in the North and force Kim to change.

“If China stopped sending fuel shipments for just two to three weeks after the North’s first ICMB launch on July 4, North Korea would not have dared conduct a second firing,” said analyst Cheong Seong-Chang at South Korea’s Sejong Institute.

THE FUTURE

Kim may see his future nuclear arsenal as the ultimate bargaining chip.

North Korea will receive new U.N. sanctions for its ICBM launches. But the country is already heavily sanctioned and won’t likely feel real pain unless China halts its oil shipments or takes other harsh measures.

Kim likely won’t talk with Washington or Seoul until he has a proven ICBM arsenal. His government ignored an offer last month by South Korea’s new liberal president, Moon Jaein, to hold talks on easing confrontation and resuming family reunions.

After he gets missiles that give him a credible deterrence against U.S. aggression, Kim may try to ease outside sanctions or wrest security guarantees and other concessions by using a proposed freeze of the North’s future weapons activities — but not already-manufactured nuclear missiles — as a bargaining chip in negotiations.

“North Korea knows it can get bigger rewards when it has a bigger (nuclear) capability,” said Shin Beomchul at the Seoul-based Korea National Diplomatic Academy.

Vitamins: The necessary nutrients for life

By KATHY MCEWAN Southwind Extension

Vitamins are essential nutrients found in foods.

They perform specific and vital functions in a variety of body systems, and are crucial for maintaining optimal health.

The two different types of vitamins are fat-soluble vitamins and water-soluble vitamins.

Fat-soluble vitamins — vitamins A, D, E and K — dissolve in fat before they are absorbed in the bloodstream to carry out their functions. Excesses of these vitamins are stored in the liver, and are not needed every day in the diet.

In contrast, watersoluble vitamins dissolve in water and are not stored by the body.

Since they are eliminated in urine, we require a continuous daily supply in our diet. The watersoluble vitamins include the vitamin B-complex group and vitamin C. Water-soluble vitamins are easily destroyed or washed out during food storage or preparation.

Proper storage and preparation of food can minimize vitamin loss. To reduce vitamin loss, always refrigerate fresh produce, keep milk and grains away from strong light, and use cooking water from vegetables to prepare soups.

Eight of the watersoluble vitamins are known as the vitamin Bcomplex group: thiamin (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin (vitamin B3), vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), folate (folic acid), vitamin B12, biotin and pantothenic acid. The B vitamins are widely distributed in foods, and their influence is felt in many parts of the body. They function as coenzymes that help the body obtain energy from food. The B vitamins are also important for normal appetite, good vision, and healthy skin, nervous system,

Gator on the loose in NY WHITNEY POINT, New York (AP) — Authorities in upstate New York have captured an alligator that got loose.

According to Animal Adventure Park, New York state Department of Environmental Conservation crews captured the renegade reptile Saturday behind the fairgrounds in rural Whitney Point. Sightings of the alligator were first reported July 22.

Officials say the alligator is 3 feet, 3 inches long. They believe it’s someone’s pet.

The alligator will be quarantined and then permanently placed in an exhibit at Animal Adventure Park in Harpursville. The privately owned zoo, just east of Binghamton, is home to April the giraffe, whose pregnancy and birthing of a male calf was an internet sensation this year.

and red blood cell formation.

The body needs vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid or ascorbate, to remain in proper working condition. Vitamin C benefits the body by holding cells together through collagen synthesis; collagen is a connective tissue that holds muscles, bones, and other tissues together. Vitamin C also aids in wound healing, bone and tooth formation, strengthening blood vessel walls, improving immune system function, increasing absorption and utilization of iron, and acting as an antioxidant.

Since our bodies cannot produce or store vitamin C, an adequate daily intake of this nutrient is essential for optimum health. Vitamin C works with vitamin E as an antioxidant, and plays a crucial role in neutralizing free radicals throughout the body. An antioxidant can be a vitamin, mineral, or a carotenoid, present in foods, that slows the oxidation process and acts to repair damage to cells of the body. Studies suggest that vitamin C may reduce the risk of certain cancers, heart disease, and cataracts.

Research continues to document the degree of these effects.

Consuming vitamin C-rich foods is the best method to ensure an

adequate intake of this vitamin. While many common plant foods contain vitamin C, the best sources are citrus fruits. For example, one orange, a kiwi fruit, 6 oz. of grapefruit juice or 1/3 cup of chopped sweet red pepper each supply enough vitamin C for one day.

The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for Vitamin C is 90 mg/ day for adult males and 75 mg/day for adult females.

For those who smoke cigarettes, the RDA for vitamin C increases by 35 mg/day, in order to counteract the oxidative effects of nicotine.

Although rare in the United States, severe vitamin C deficiency may result in the disease known as scurvy, causing a loss of collagen strength throughout the body. Loss of collagen

results in loose teeth, bleeding and swollen gums, and improper wound healing. More commonly, vitamin C deficiency presents as a secondary deficiency in alcoholics, the elderly, and in smokers.

Despite being a watersoluble vitamin that the body excretes when in excess, vitamin C overdoses have been shown to cause kidney stones, gout, diarrhea and rebound scurvy.

The controversy over using mega doses of vitamin C to prevent or cure the common cold and other disorders has not been resolved. Recent studies have shown that an increased intake of vitamin C over 500 mg per day does not increase a bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall level of vitamin C. Therefore, intake over 500 mg per day may not result in any additional benefits from vitamin C. WAT E R - S O L U B L E

vitamins include the vitamin B-complex and vitamin C, and are essential nutrients needed daily by the body in very small quantities.

B-complex vitamins can be found in a variety of enriched foods like cereal grains and breads, as well as other foods such as meat, poultry, eggs, fish milk, legumes, and fresh vegetables. Vegans should be conscious of vitamin B12 intake because it is not present in plant foods.

Vitamin C can be found in many fruits

and vegetables. Some conditions warrant an increase in vitamin C intake, such as exposure to cigarette smoke, environmental stress, growth, and sickness.

Over consumption of the water-soluble vitamins is generally not a problem in the United States, if the nutrients are obtained through food.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Tax-dollar lid law is invasive and dictatorial Why, with reserves of $5 million or so, don’t Allen County commissioners lower the county’s tax levy?

They’d love to, Commissioner Tom Williams told the Register Monday, but are locked into budget authority (projected expenditures) to avoid becoming a victim of the Legislature’s befuddling decision to impose a tax-dollar lid on local budgets.

Same is true of city governing bodies, and to a lesser degree school districts, which have operated at the Legislature’s fiscal behest since the early 1990s.

Allen County is a clear example of what is wrong with the law, which took effect a year ago and put local governors between the proverbial rock and a hard place.

County commissioners could slash the ad valorem tax levy by many mills, but in so doing very likely would have themselves facing innumerable machinations in years to come.

Why, you ask? Because legislators, while not able to handle the state’s finances in much of a satisfactory way, thought it appropriate to tell local folks how to collect, and consequently spend, local tax dollars. Talk about arrogance.

The lid is determined by the consumer price index (commonly referred to as inflation) for upcoming years. Thus, if the CPI is judged to be 1.4 percent, as it was this year, a council or commission may increase the amount of tax dollars collected only by that amount. If any body wants to raise more, for any worthwhile project, recourse is a referendum.

That creates an unwarranted interruption of the local process, because an election has to be before the coming year’s budget may be approved and put in place. With regulations being what they, an election can be scheduled but if the decision to do so comes late in budget preparation, it is difficult to accom-

plish.

So, to get around all the debilitating rigmarole created by the Legislature — and signed into law without hesitation by Gov. Sam Brownback — most local governing bodies opt to budget the maximum allowable to avoid any last minute problems, in the current year and those ahead.

The law does have some exceptions — emergency medical services, money raised because of increased property valuation and to deal with library needs, indicating perhaps legislators are more literate than they sometimes seem.

To his credit, and likely in part because of his years of serving as an Allen County commissioner, our representative, Kent Thompson, voted against the tax-dollar lid.

We assume the Kansas Association of Counties and League of Kansas Municipalities are leading the charge to have the tax lid law repealed.

The vast majority of council and commission members also are of that opinion.

REASON to abrogate the law is simple.

Town council members, as well as county commissioners Williams, Jim Talkington and Jerry Daniels, know much better what is needed within their districts than someone in western Kansas or the rich suburbs of Kansas City, perched and protected in either chamber of the Legislature.

The Register has reported multiple times on the angst that arises during preparation of budgets. Efforts are made to deal with needs without putting too much of a burden on taxpayers. After all, those computing budgets are taxpayers, and they want to do right by friends, neighbors and many others.

That is why county commissioners feel so put upon.

They would be delighted to stream significant increases

in assessed valuation flowing from the Enbridge pipeline and pumping station to lower tax rates that affect us all. In so doing, though, they would be putting a strangle hold on progress within the county that benefits us all — later if not sooner.

With wind farms on the cusp of sprouting in the county, additional income will find its way to county coffers. Advantage is payments in lieu of taxes for the first 10 years, before the installations become subject to property taxes, will not be affected by the tax lid.

Meanwhile, the better outcome lying directly ahead is that Rep. Thompson and others with his knowledge and experience will be able to convince their colleagues on both sides of the aisle to turn back the tax lid when the 2018 session convenes in early January.

That’s what responsive government is all about.

— Bob Johnson

Brownback left the poor in a lurch When asked recently about the biggest problem facing Kansas, Gov. Sam Brownback paused.

“Decline of the family structure,” he finally answered.

While problems for families always demand attention and action, the governor hasn’t helped.

At the start of his second term, he promised to fight for the “weakest” Kansans, yet did the opposite — to include blocking Medicaid expansion.

At the time, an estimated 169,000 impoverished or working poor in the state would have received access to health-care coverage. Brownback didn’t care, and his stubborn opposition to Medicaid expansion was proof.

Poverty only worsened on his watch. He made it harder for Kansans to access safetynet programs by slashing childcare tax credits and targeting Temporary Assistance for Needy Families.

TANF offers temporary aid with housing, food, childcare and other necessities to help the working poor navigate challenging times.

Brownback’s camp erased millions of dollars for TANF and its employment services, and new restrictions left fewer Kansans qualified for the program — but not necessarily because they were financially secure.

The governor then pointed to a declining number of people receiving assistance as a success story, when in truth his punitive policies forced Kansans in need off welfare rolls.

Representatives of Kansasbased social services agencies who understand reality reported poor children still going hungry, and other tragic fallout.

Brownback and fellow ultraconservatives endorsed all of that damage along with hits to other vital services to protect their income-tax breaks for wealthy Kansans.

While the governor could have helped struggling families, he instead faithfully followed the radical-right path paved by the Koch brothers and organizations they support: American Legislative Exchange Council, Americans for Prosperity, Kansas Chamber and others intent on gutting government-support programs to cover tax breaks for the rich.

Many less fortunate Kan-

sans and their children suffered as a result, which was one of many reasons the governor’s popularity ratings sank to the worst in the nation.

Moving forward, the hope is Brownback’s planned departure to become President Trump’s ambassador-atlarge for international religious freedom leads to more thoughtful, compassionate leadership for the state.

Many Kansans would benefit from a fresh start, and none more so than vulnerable families in our midst.

‘Better deal’ from Democrats could be better Last week Chuck Schumer, the Democrats’ leader in the Senate, promised readers of The New York Times “a better deal.” He said the party was listening to a country that’s “clamoring for bold changes to our politics and our economy.” He’s right that voters are unhappy, but I wonder if the Democrats are really getting the message.

Schumer’s opinion piece displayed the standard Democratic dissonance between a radical-sounding critique of American capitalism and timid little steps to put things right. Both sides of this traditional formula are wrong.

The system isn’t fundamentally broken; American voters don’t want their government to demolish capitalism and start again. At the same time, bold innovations in policy — much bolder than Democrats appear to be contemplating — are needed to make the economy work better for the wide middle of the American electorate.

Schumer talks about “vulture capitalists” gouging consumers and “huge corporations ... padding the pockets of investors but sending costs skyrocketing for everything from cable bills and airline tickets to food and health care.” This weary anti-capitalist imagery evokes an economic system that’s fundamentally exploitative — one that would descend into outright criminality unless minutely policed by Democrats, Washington’s self-denying, ever-vigilant guardians.

Clive Cook Bloomberg View (TNS) The point isn’t just that this is preposterous (though it is), but also that too few Americans will buy it as a political program. Most voters aren’t instinctively anti-business, and they understand that Democrats in Washington are as much in hock to special-interest money as their opponents. To pretend the opposite invites derision.

A bit less moral indignation and a lot more policy ambition would go a long way.

Schumer’s remedies for the depredations of the capitalist system aren’t necessarily wrong. They’re just small.

Require drug companies to justify price increases to the public and let Medicare push for lower prices, allow regulators to break up big companies “if they’re hurting consumers,” and give firms a tax credit to train workers for unfilled jobs. Does stuff like this really measure up to the menace of vulture capitalism? Don’t imply the system needs dismantling unless you’re Bernie Sanders and actually willing to do it.

Shorn of its anti-capitalist rhetoric, the Democratic program could nonetheless afford to be bolder. Three areas in particular call for genuine, not feigned, radicalism.

One is tax reform. The Democrats’ goal should be to lift the lowest-paid workers

out of tax altogether. That would mean reforming the payroll tax, which falls on even the lowest-wage labor.

Much of the necessary revenue could be raised by reducing or eliminating the deductions that mostly benefit the better-off.

In the aggregate such a change would shift more of the burden of the tax system onto the higher-paid.

There’s a good case for higher tax rates at the very top of the income scale, and for a fairer treatment of inherited wealth (it isn’t right that capital gains can be passed along to heirs entirely untaxed). Middle-income households needn’t then face higher taxes. But the goal shouldn’t be to punish the rich for their supposedly illgotten gains. Most Americans aspire to do well and would like to be rich: They have no moral objection to money. The goal that deserves emphasis is not raising taxes, but cutting them — especially the taxes that fall on the low-paid.

A second priority should be health-care reform. Here the aim should be bigger than defending Obamacare from Republican assault, worthy as that may be. The organizing principle should be universal coverage — as a fact, rather than an aspiration (as it is under the Affordable Care Act). But genuinely universal coverage does not and should not mean “singlepayer” — a term that suggests health care delivered through a government monopoly. There’s no reason

why assurance of coverage cannot be combined with competitive delivery of medical services and/or health insurance. (Ezekiel Emanuel, an adviser on Obamacare, wrote a book about it.) This approach to the problem better conforms to the American insistence on consumer choice and control.

A third area for radical reform is, in the long term, the most important of all: education. America’s best universities still lead the world, but many of its high schools, by international standards, are failing pitifully. This, not capitalist padding of investors’ pockets, is the wedge that will widen and deepen the gap between prosperous Americans and the rest.

Democrats should be ashamed that they are resisting rather than championing the campaign for education reform. Teachers’ unions are a core constituency, no doubt, and it’s apparently too much to ask of the party’s leaders that they should turn on public-sector unions the way Britain’s Labour Party did in the mid-1990s. But America has far more parents of school-age children than teachers. Political selfinterest, quite apart from the interests of those parents and their kids, would seem to argue for a judicious distance between the party and the principal opponents of innovation and competition in schools.

Americans do deserve a better deal. It’s a shame the Democrats still aren’t seizing their opportunity.

Goodbye, Allen County Fair: Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to next year My 20th county fair is officially in the books.

I spent the first seven years in Haskell County and have been in Allen County since 2005.

When the Southwind District formed in 2010, I was given the privilege of working with two more counties, Neosho and Bourbon.

As one of your District Extension Agents, I can tell you that it is a relief to be on the backside of the county fair and it gives me an opportunity to reflect and think about those folks who help make our 4-H program successful.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to bore you with the details of planning and getting ready for the county fair, but rather take an opportunity to thank those key individuals who take the time to volunteer and make our county fairs successful.

Each of the counties in the Southwind District have specific key people who make sure our kids are getting an education in their projects and having fun at the same time.

In Neosho County, the livestock leaders conducted project meetings that drew in youth to the fairgrounds teaching them about livestock husbandry and showmanship to prepare them for the upcoming contests. I admire the time and dedication these leaders give to the kids and I know it takes away from an evening or a weekend at home with family, yet they give to our 4-H program time and again.

In Bourbon County, fair board members built a new covered pavilion and dedicated it to a long-time Friend of 4-H. The pavilion was used for folks to gather during the fair and the 4-H dance was held there too. This is an addition to the fairgrounds that will be a valuable resource for many years.

In Allen County, not only did we try a completely new fair schedule, but we were also given financial support from county commissioners to repair and rebuild structures on the fairgrounds that will be used for generations to come. Phase one of this five-year project saw a much-needed new roof on the sheep and goat barn.

I also have to say thank you to the Livestock Boosters who make sure that all of

Carla Nemecek

Extension Agent for Agriculture

our 4-H youth who are members in good standing receive additional premiums for their live-

stock projects.

The Southwind District also had the good fortune to hire summer interns in each county.

Dacey worked in Fort Scott and hosted a barn quilt workshop which resulted in many barn quilts being displayed in each county. Kendle worked in Erie and organized a much needed photography clinic to

teach youth how to take better photos for personal and 4-H use. In Iola, we worked with Zoey who prepared a tie blanket workshop and then donated those blankets to Hope Unlimited.

On a personal note, I also want to thank my family and close friends who help me get through the fair season.

Racing: Humboldt Speedway

Keeter collects in modified action

A near-perfect day turned into night and with it came another solid night of racing at Humboldt Speedway on Friday. When the final checkered flag of the night flew over the field from flagman Tony Morgan, some familiar faces grabbed the headlines from their respective main-event victories.

A total of 75 cars competed throughout the night for the

fans on hand.

Entering the night, Webb City, Missouri’s Mitch Keeter had nine feature wins on the year and the NASCA Division One point lead to solidify his stature as one of the entire Midwest’s standout drivers of the season. By the end of the night, Keeter added a tenth win and $1,000 to his resume as he held off a hard-charging R.C. Whitwell in the night’s 25-lap featured race.

To start the night, 21 NASCAR Whelen Engineering

Company, Inc. Modifieds competed in three preliminary heat races to setup the starting grid for the main event.

John Allen of Chanute began the night with a heat-race victory by fending off the challenges of Tyler Wolff and Kip Hughes. Whitwell rolled to the win in heat two ahead of Darron Fuqua and Lance Mari while Keeter took the checkers in heat three over Paden Phillips and Chase Sigg.

Track and Field: 51st USATF Hershey National Junior Olympic Track and Field Championship

ON THE BIG STAGE

Baltimore’s Jimenez holds Royals down

Kunkler has strong showing at national track championship

By TIMOTHY EVERSON The Iola Register

One of the top track athletes in the area got a taste of national level competition last week as Iola’s Elysia Kunkler competed in the 51st USATF Hershey National Junior Olympic Track and Field Championship at Rock Chalk Park in Lawrence.

This is the second year in a row Kunkler has qualified for the meet, competing in the both the 100-meter high hurdles and the long jump in the 15-16 year old girls division.

Kunkler is one of 13 athletes competing with the OKC Fuel track and field team out of Oklahoma City.

The OKC Fuel also has a new coach this year that Kunkler said she has enjoyed.

‘This is my first year with Coach Spencer and he has taught me a lot and helped me get more consistent in the 15s,” Kunkler said. “He is really funny so it makes track very enjoyable. Running on a team like OKC Fuel has allowed to be around other ath-

letes that have the same goals and that is getting the Junior Olympics. Our team had 13 qualifiers and I think that is pretty cool “ On Wednesday, Kunkler competed in the the long jump, an event she said she’d been having some trouble with recently.

“I was pretty nervous on Wednesday when it came to long jump,” Kunkler said.

“Recently I had some offpractices so I was hoping that I pull through at the meet.”

Kunkler finished with a distance of 14 feet 5 inches in a fiercely competitive field that saw the top jumper go for 21 feet 11 inches.

“It showed me what type of competition is out there,” Kunkler said. “I saw that I needed to work harder to keep up with some of the girls but I was also doing good for my age.”

Kunkler then took to the track on Thursday and Friday for the high hurdles.

At the start of this season, Kunkler came in with a goal See KUNKLER | Page B6

By PETER SCHMUCK The Baltimore Sun

BALTIMORE — Just when it seemed safe to write off Ubaldo Jimenez for good, the beleaguered Orioles right-hander puts together back-to-back strong starts to preserve his place in the starting rotation.

Jimenez, who pitched a strong six innings in a tough loss to the Tampa Rays last Wednesday, came back to deliver an impressive seven-inning performance in the Orioles’ walkoff 2-1 victory over the sizzling Kansas City Royals before 20,663 at Oriole Park.

The Royals came into the game with 10 wins in their last 11 games, but Jimenez held them to just a run on five hits. He struck out six and walked just two to reduce his ERA to 6.56.

The O’s won the game with in the ninth inning on a two-out single by No. 9 hitter Craig Gentry, who poked a grounder through the middle of the infield to scored Caleb Joseph and give the Orioles their third straight victory. It was Gentry’s first career walk-off See ROYALS | Page B6

College Basketball: Pittsburg State

Life goes on for Kim Anderson after firing from dream job

By VAHE GREGORIAN The Kansas City Star

PITTSBURG — For living proof that even an agonizing end can be a portal to a new beginning, meet the new men’s basketball coach for Pittsburg State.

“Welcome to the jungle,” Kim Anderson says with a smile as he greets a visitor into the home of the Gorillas.

As he began a mini-tour of the gleaming $14 million athletic facility, the most striking visual actually was seeing the color back in Anderson’s face and weight put back on since being liberated from the debacle that theoretically was a dream job at the University of Missouri, his alma mater.

“People say I look better now than I have in a long time; I don’t know if they just say that,” Anderson said, smiling and adding, “I think I mentally might have been worn down.”

With a laugh, he added, “Or beat down. That might be a better word.”

In some ways, his decompression was helped along by arriving in Pittsburg, which Anderson also likes to just call “America.”

After some time exhaling at his Lake of the Ozarks home, he stayed for most of two months at Himmel House Bed & Breakfast, where innkeepers Jeff and Sherri Stephens helped his transition to a new life.

Under much less of a microscope for Anderson, their hospitality included nighttime talks on the porch, leaving him M&M snacks and convincing him to get in on a breakfast rotation of waffles, French toast or pancakes.

Meanwhile, this summer, out among the cows in the countryside, he resumed riding _ on a new bicycle that maybe carried some symbolism in itself: As he was preparing to leave Columbia, Mo., Anderson found a neglected gift certificate to Walk’s Bike Shop that his wife, Melissa, had given him soon after they went to MU in 2014.

Amid a never-ending set of headaches at MU, he had forgotten about it.

Turned out it was still valid _ and also held greater value than Anderson had expected.

That dynamic perhaps speaks to his fresh start after MU. The Division II job in itself is fresh and invigorating, especially because he believes it represents a return to the essence of what the work is.

“I really didn’t want to be a Division I head coach (again),” said Anderson, who was hired by Pittsburg State about two weeks after his last Mizzou game. “I intended to coach, because, quite frankly, the last three years I really hadn’t been coaching. ...

“We used to kid around the office, ‘We’re firemen. We’re putting out fires all the time.’

And I knew (from coaching Central Missouri for 12 years) at this level that there is more coaching and less being a CEO.” For that matter, Anderson See PITT| Page B4

As Missouri head coach, Kim Anderson is on the sidelines during a 61-60 loss against Arkansas on January 24, 2015, at Mizzou Arena in Columbia, Mo. For the 2017 season, he’ll be the new coach at Pittsburg State. Chris Lee/St. Louis Post-Dispatch/TNS

pair of heat races to start the night. Second in points Barry Luthi captured the victory in the opening heat race with Cayden Vance and Curtis Wilson in second and third. John Willard of St. Joseph, Missouri finishing ahead of Eric Ikehorn and Gannon Reed to claim the win in heat race number two.

Luthi and Vance earned the front row starting positions with Curtis Wilson, Jr. and Reed occupying row two. Willard started the event in tenth positions as Luthi took command of the 16-lap event leaving Cayden Vance and Ikehorn to battle for second-place honors.

The race ran smoothly in the opening laps with Willard threading his way through the field to move into the top five by lap five. With Luthi in command, Willard then set his sights on the leaders and moved to second by lap eight. One lap later, Willard took command of the event and ultimately went on to score his eleventh victory of the year.

Vance stayed strong the entire distance and finished second as Marisha Collins advanced from her sixth-starting position to finish third.

Wilson Jr., came away fourth while Trenton Wilson rounded out the top five. Willard gave away another bicycle during the night’s win and stated he would be back with another back and a free admission for a young race fan in the coming weeks.

Pitt: Anderson has moved on from MU Continued from B1

remembers frequently being asked if he was having fun coaching his alma mater and thinking, “No, I wasn’t.”

“I don’t regret it,” he said, “but I didn’t enjoy it.”

Don’t get Anderson wrong. He’s no martyr, and he’ll always be grateful for the chance at an opportunity that was on his bucket list.

He knows he stabilized a mess behind the scenes.

He knows the bottom line is the bottom line, both in terms of his record (27-68) and the revenue lost in fan apathy and dwindling crowds at Mizzou Arena.

“There’s no bitterness ... Absolutely, I deserved to lose my job, because we didn’t win,” said Anderson, who was 274-95 with a national championship at Central, an MIAA rival of Pitt State.

“You don’t win games, they give you your ball and they say, ‘Go find another gym.’ “ So he has, and he sees no real point in dwelling on what led him here.

He sincerely wishes successor Cuonzo Martin well in the job but called MU “a distant memory for me right now” from about the time he cleaned out his office hours after returning to Columbia from Nashville after his Mizzou finale.

“They weren’t telling me I had to (get out right away), but I knew that it was time to go,” he said, noting the support staff he came to feel was family helped him load up.

“We had a little packing party, and it was hard.”

But even as he looks forward instead of back and focuses on reviving the Gorillas from a 5-22 season, Anderson can’t help but still feel some occasional wistful whatifs.

After the disciplinary and APR issues and NCAA investigation and roster upheaval he inherited, topics he doesn’t bring up, by the end Anderson had players he believed in.

“Maybe we would have done better if we had more time,” he said.

“But who knows? Maybe we wouldn’t have.”

Asked what he had meant when he said after his MU tenure ended with a loss to Mississippi in the Southeastern Conference tournament that he knew he’d be fired on the day he took the job, Anderson declined to elaborate other

The Iola Register

texted Anderson and said he’d love to talk when MU’s season ended.

“I really didn’t know what he would want to do at all,” Johnson said.

That discovery process began a day later than anticipated, after MU had one last hurrah for Anderson with a dramatic victory in the SEC tournament opener against Auburn.

The victory was “a gift from the Basketball God,” he said, to give him one more day with his team and staff.

Less of a gift was Anderson getting caught on camera afterward releasing pent-up anguish with a profanity.

“I shouldn’t have done it, obviously,” said Anderson, laughing and suggesting he didn’t really even know who he was saying it about or to.

Then again, invoking his words at a postgame news conference that night, he said, “What are they going to do, fire me?”

If those of us who think highly of Anderson worried that his firing might be the sort of thing that would scar him, Anderson shrugs that off.

than to say he instantly learned of challenges he had never imagined.

And, no, it wasn’t an active NCAA investigation no one had bothered to tell him about when he was interviewing.

“I mean, I didn’t know about that, either,” he said, laughing.

When it was over at MU, some wondered if Anderson might retire.

Technically, he did soon thereafter, filling out retirement paperwork for MU and Central Missouri timed with turning 62 in May. That makes for a fine supplement to his buyout from Mizzou: $650,000 plus $300,000 in earned annuity payments under the terms of their announced separation agreement.

But truly retiring never entered Anderson’s mind.

Neither did taking time off to ... do what, exactly?

All he needed was to start over and find a good fit like, say, a regional Division II school.

Enter Pitt State athletic director Jim Johnson, the former MIAA commissioner and neighbor of Anderson’s in Warrensburg.

Johnson hated replacing Kevin Muff at Pitt State, on Tuesday in his office calling Muff one of the “best guys on the planet.”

But after the decision was made and the news of Anderson’s firing became known, Johnson

It hurt, of course, mostly to feel he let people down and because he worried about what would become of his staff.

But each of them has landed good jobs, and Anderson has enough grounding and sense of perspective that succeeding at Mizzou wasn’t the thing he wanted most in the world.

“I don’t know what it is that I wanted the most,” he said, “but there’s more to life than basketball coaching.”

Still, he wasn’t ready to leave coaching _ really coaching. Not that way. Not if he could find what felt like a good fit.

“This is a level that maybe fits me better,” he said. “So I guess in a way it’s kind of going back to your roots.”

There still will be pressure and stress, of course, starting with an exhibition opener at Kansas on Halloween.

But if he has learned anything through all this, it’s to have more appreciation for his family and true friends _ and that the end can be a new beginning.

“You move on: I move on, people move on,” he said in an upbeat tone.

“Life goes on.”

Music can have different effects on studying, sleep Dear Dr. Roach: For teens, does wearing headphones with music playing while sleeping affect the quality of their sleep? Also, does listening to music while studying impact the quality of studying? — S.W. Answer: The effect of music on sleep has been studied several times, but most studies have looked at classical or soothing music. In most of the trials I read, music at bedtime improved the quality and duration of sleep. If your teens are anything like my teens were, however, classical or soft music is unlikely to be their choice. Also, the trials did not examine the effect of headphones, which may alter the different head positions people use when falling asleep.

As far as the studying question goes, there clearly are differences among people. However, in several studies that included school-aged children, adolescents and young adults, studying in silence led to better reading comprehension compared with a noisy room, highly arousing music (such as heavy metal) or less arousing music (pop vocal music). However, those lis-

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health tening to “low arousal” music had better scores than those listening to noise. People listening to highly arousing music scored worst in reading comprehension and reaction time.

Many people feel they study best with music.

Some researchers have found that music that is well-known and doesn’t demand much attention is least likely to interfere with learning.

Royals: Offense stalls after first inning Continued from B1

hit.

The only Kansas City run scored off Jimenez came in the first inning on a pair of solid doubles by Lorenzo Cain and Eric Hosmer.

The Orioles came back to tie the game against Royals starter Danny Duffy in the fifth inning, when Manny Machado doubled Duffy turned in a performance that was almost identical to Jimenez’s, pitching seven innings and allowing a run on seven hits. He

also struck out six.

Neither starter would be around for the decision. Mychal Givens took over for Jimenez in the eighth and righthander Peter Moylan replaced Duffy. Zach Britton came on in the ninth for the Orioles and got the victory. Joakim Soria took the loss.

Machado continues to dig out of the low .200s after a long struggle to make his batting average more consistent with his solid run-production numbers. He doubled in

two of his first three atbats to raise his average to .246. Machado ranks 18th among third basemen in batting average, but is among the top 10 in doubles (23) and home runs (18).

Sometimes, it’s better to be lucky than good. Schoop was both on Monday. He delivered another multi _ hit game, reaching base on a squirrelly ground ball that eluded to fielders and driving home the game-tying run in the

fifth inning with a soft flyball single in the fifth.

That raised his teamleading average to .307.

Givens pitched a perfect eighth inning, striking out two, to complete a very impressive month. He allowed just one run in July _ on a home run by Tampa Bay’s Jesus Sucre _ over 12 appearances and 12 1/3 innings. He struck out 18 and walked just one.

Kunkler Continued from B1

of finishing inside of the top 20 in the high hurdles after finishing 33rd last year.

She guaranteed herself a place in the semifinals after running a time of 15.63, finishing third in her heat.

“When I saw that I got third in my heat I started crying,” Kunkler said. “Part of it was that I was so proud but the other part was that I was so nervous. So I was pretty excited.”

With just four hurdlers to beat in order to achieve her goal, Kunkler shaved .18 second off of her qualifying time to finish 16th with a time of 15.45.

Kunkler did not qualify for the finals as the top eight hurdlers all recorded time under 15 seconds.

That time is now the new goal for Kunkler as she aims to get herself into that top flight of hurdlers.

“I am so much more motivated now,” Kunkler said.

“I’m trying to get my form down correctly because that will shave some time off. The 8th place girl had like 14.96 as her time so I need to get down to a 14 to be up there with them. It’s fun watching some of them run, it doesn’t even look like they’re going over the hurdles.”

Kunkler hopes that with hard work, that improvement will come. She’s already picked up multiple new tricks throughout the summer that she’s looking forward to bringing back to her team this spring for track season.

“My coach really helped me,” Kunkler said. “I wrote down some of the stuff he did with the hurdles and the long jump and when I get back I’m going to share that stuff with my coaches so they can see what others things we did that helped.”

Kunkler hopes to keep her success going into her sophomore year after qualifying for state in the 100 meter high hurdles as freshman.
