School board weighs Bowlus future

By RICK DANLEY The Iola Register

USD 257 Board of Education convened a public forum Monday evening in which they informed a gathering of about 60 of their intention to seek guidance from the Allen County District Court regarding the school district’s role as trustee of the Bowlus Fine Arts Center.

The majority of the evening, however, was given over to Bowlus backers, who made polite but insistent appeals that the district maintain its link with the fine arts center, or at least be a part of the solution to preserve the institution they cherish.

The board, under the will of philanthropist Thomas Bowlus, was named trustee of the fine arts center, making the citizens of Iola and students of USD 257 its unique beneficiaries.

Board president Tony Leavitt opened the meeting by providing some background regarding the board’s decision to seek the intercession of the courts.

“As elected officials, we have a responsibility and accountability to the citizens and the children we represent to be as efficient as possible with the funds we are given.”

Currently, explained Leavitt, the district pays $143,000 to the Bowlus, which provides the facilities for a number of fine arts classes.

Given the “toxic” school funding decisions emanating from the statehouse in recent years and the perennial reductions

Leavitt, speaking on the board’s behalf, affirmed his affection for the Bowlus and for the vision codified by Thomas Bowlus a half-century earlier.

“There has been...some concern that the Bowlus would lapse and go to the University of Kansas endowment” — a condition set forward in the

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Republican Ted Cruz faces a high-stakes test for his slumping presidential campaign in today’s Indiana primary, one of the last opportunities for the Texas senator to halt Donald Trump’s stunning march toward the GOP nomination.

Cruz has spent the past week camped out in Indiana, securing the support of the state’s governor and announcing retired technology executive Carly Fiorina as his running mate.

Yet his aides were pessimistic heading into today’s voting and were prepared for Cruz to fall short, though the senator vowed to stay in the race, regardless of the results.

“I am in for the distance, as long as we have a viable path to victory,” Cruz told reporters on Monday during a campaign stop.

Trump devoted more time to campaigning in Indiana than he has to most other states, underscoring his eagerness to put his Re-

“As school board members, we’re concerned about a myriad of issues related to school funding or lack thereof. And as Bowlus trustees, we worry

about being connected to a financially challenged entity like schools.” So, continued Leavitt, one of the questions the board will pose to the courts, is this: “What are the options for separating the Bowlus from the school district so that the Bowlus can move forward on its own and thrive to fulfill the mission of exposing and providing fine arts opportunities to the chil-

Plots available at community garden The Elm Creek Community Garden still has some plots available.

“We’re about 75 percent full,” said Val McLean, garden organizer. Each plot costs $25 and includes tools and water.

“Now is the time to plant tomatoes,” McLean said.

The garden is run completely by donations. The most recent is $500 from the Iola Senior Center.

“We are very appreciative of their gift,” McLean said.

Garden club members most recently donated two plots to Tracy Keagle and her Kindness Connection, which will donate its bounty to people in need.

Lower projections help Kansas meet revenue benchmark TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas reported Monday that its tax collections last month were slightly better than expected, good news for Republican Gov. Sam Brownback after legislators approved a plan dumping most of the work of balancing the budget into his lap.

The Department of Revenue said the state collected $584.3 million in taxes in April, when the official projection was $581.7 million. The surplus was $2.6 million, or 0.5 percent.

The collections were pegged to a new, more pessimistic fiscal forecast issued less than three weeks ago. State officials and university economists last month slashed projected revenues through June 2017 by a total of $348 million.

The gloomier projections immediately left the state with projected shortfalls totaling more than $290 million

in its current budget and the one for the fiscal year beginning July 1. The plan approved by the Republican-dominated Legislature early Monday morning gives Brownback broad discretion to cut spending in the state’s $16 billion budget for the next fiscal year but tells him that he can’t touch aid to public schools.

Still, the latest revenue report showed sales tax collections rebounding modestly after being a source of concern for state officials, and personal income tax collections appeared to be stable.

Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan hesitated to see those developments as parts of a long-term trend but acknowledged they are helpful in dealing with the budget.

“It’s a good sign for the health of the economy,” Jordan said during an interview.

“We hope that’s a turnaround.”

publican rival away and shift his attention toward Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton.

While Trump cannot clinch the nomination with a big win in Indiana, his path would get easier and he would have more room for error in the campaign’s final contests.

“Indiana is very important, because if I win that’s the end of it. It would be over,” Trump said during a lunch stop Monday in Indianapolis.

Republican leaders spent months dismissing Trump as little more than an entertainer who would fade once voting started. But Republican primary voters have stuck with the billionaire businessman, handing him victories in every region of the country, including a string of six straight wins on the East Coast.

Clinton and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders also faced off in Indiana’s Democratic primary today, though the stakes were lower than in the Republican race. Clinton holds a commanding lead over Sanders — she’s secured 91 percent of the delegates she needs to win the nomination. That means she can still win the nomination even if she loses every remaining contest.

Ted Cruz Sanders has conceded that he faces a difficult path to overtake Clinton, one that hinges on convincing superdelegates to back him over the former secretary of state.

Superdelegates are Democratic Party insiders who can support the candidate of their choice, regardless of how their states vote. And they favor Clinton by a nearly 18-1 margin.

Neither Clinton nor Sanders planned to spend today in Indiana.

Sanders was making stops in Kentucky, which holds a primary in mid-May, while Clinton moved on to Ohio, a key general election battleground.

Clinton’s team has started deploying staff to states that will be crucial in November and is also raising money for

the fall campaign. Even as Trump hires more staff to round out his slim team, he already lags far behind Clinton in general election preparations.

A showdown between Clinton and Trump would pit one of Democrats’ most popular and highly-regarded figures against a first-time political candidate who is deeply divisive within his own party. Cruz and other Republicans have argued that Trump would be roundly defeated in the general election, denying their party the White House for a third straight term.

But Trump is the only Republican left in the race who can secure the 1,237 delegates needed for the nomination through regular primary voting. Cruz — as well as Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who trails significantly in the delegate count — must try to

block Trump in Indiana and the handful of other remaining states to push the race toward a contested convention.

In an abrupt strategy shift, Cruz and Kasich announced an alliance of sorts in Indiana. The Ohio governor agreed to stop spending money in Indiana to give Cruz a chance to compete headto-head with Trump.

Cruz has pledged to do the same for Kasich in Oregon and New Mexico, which vote in the coming weeks.

But that strategy may have backfired. A recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll found that nearly 6 in 10 Indiana primary voters disapproved of the CruzKasich alliance.

“After they made the alliance, their numbers tanked,” Trump said Monday. “That’s what happens when politicians make deals.”

But Jim Onder, attorney for the plaintiff, Gloria Ristesund, said researchers began linking talcum powder to ovarian cancer in the 1970s, and he said internal Johnson & Johnson documents showed that the company was aware of those studies.

“The evidence is real clear that Johnson & Johnson has known about the dangers associated with talcum powder for over 30 years,” Onder said.

“Instead of giving a warning, what they did was targeted the groups most at risk for developing ovarian cancer,” specifically marketing to overweight women, he said.

Talc is naturally occurring, mined from the soil and composed of magnesium, silicon, oxygen, and hydrogen. It’s widely used in cosmetics and personal care products, such as talcum powder, to absorb moisture, prevent caking and improve the product’s feel.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — For the second time in three months, a St. Louis jury has ordered Johnson & Johnson to pay a huge award over claims that its talcum powder causes cancer.

The jury deliberated eight hours Monday before ordering the company to pay $55 million to a South Dakota woman who blamed her ovarian cancer on years of talcum powder use.

In February, another St. Louis jury awarded $72 million to the family of an Alabama woman who died from ovarian cancer, which she said was caused by using Johnson & Johnson’s baby powder and other talcum products.

New Jersey-based Johnson & Johnson will appeal the latest ruling.

On May 14 ACARF will benefit from metal collection. The PTO group will in July, the Lions in September.

Recycling has some rules attached. Cardboard will have to broken down and flattened.

Cans that contained food will have to be rinsed clean.

“We had curb-side recycling and each week I’d fill a 60-gallon container with paper, plastic and glass, and only have a 10-gallon bag of trash that went to the landfill,” she said.

The collection, of paper and other recyclable material, as usual will be at the old IGA property on North State Street, just north of the National Guard Armory. Hours are 8:30 to 11:30 a.m.

College doesn’t have to be a debt trap Prevent grass tetany Nine in ten parents believe that college is a worthwhile investment.

A report shows that the value placed on higher education is nearly universal, a staggering 84% of parents are also willing to stretch themselves financially in order to make college possible for their children.

The increasing costs of higher education are a part of our current reality, but breaking the bank doesn’t have to be.

Making smart financial decisions from the start, and turning good savings behaviors into long-lasting habits can be the ticket to a fruitful and hopefully a debt free future – for students and parents alike.

5 Tips for Reducing College Costs 1. Start Saving as Soon as Possible – This

goes for parents and prospective college kids alike. Parents can start

Joy Purkeypile Extension Agent for Family and Consumer Sciences

as early as birth to save for college through popular vehicles like 529 plans and savings bonds. See how putting away small amounts of savings will build up over time and will reduce the amount of loans that have to be paid back later in this BetterMoneyHabits.com video.

2. Do Your Research

— If you already have your major chosen, do some digging into what credentials are required in you major’s industry down the road and consider what your options are for getting the most bang for your buck.

Check out community colleges. These low tu-

ition schools offer a wide variety of courses to give you options while keeping costs at a minimum.

3. Save on Room & Board — Sometimes

there really is no place like home. Take a moment to think about what living expenses really entail: a room to sleep in, furniture, electricity, internet, laundry, regular meals, and any variety of moving costs.

Whether you’re trying to reduce student loan debt after college or trying to stretch those 529 savings accounts, living at home during school will save you thousands of dollars.

4. Work While In School — Working one

(or a few) part-time job can help pay for anything from tuition to books, transportation to school supplies. Every little bit that you can earn and save before and during college will reduce the amount of loans you need to take and save

you money you would pay later.

5. Know the Fine Print — When savings

and free money won’t cover all the costs, student loans will inevitably step in. Whether you’re a student or parent borrower, be mindful of the debt that you take on. Scrutinizing repayment terms is critical as they can help you know how much you’ll owe after you graduate, when you’ll have to start paying on the interest and principal of your loans, and whether you’ll be eligible for any forgiveness options down the road.

Be familiar with the details before you sign that promissory note.

Kansas reduces welfare assistance

By MEGAN HART Kansas Health Institute

The Kansas Legislature approved additional restrictions on people who receive government assistance but removed one proposal that would have required women to return to work shortly after giving birth.

The changes, passed late Sunday as part of Senate Bill 402, reduce the lifetime limit for cash assistance through Temporary Assistance for Needy Families from three years to two years.

There is a one-year hardship extension.

Gov. Sam Brownback hasn’t made a statement about the bill, but he has supported past reductions to assistance programs. Kansas lowered the lifetime TANF limit from five years to four years in 2011 and to three years in 2015, then as part of the Hope, Opportunity and Prosperity for Everyone (HOPE) Act. Shannon Cotsoradis, president and chief executive of Kansas Action for Children, said the average Kansas family using TANF receives it for about 18 months. Many have to use it again when an unexpected expense or job loss hits, she said, and the new limit may remove that cushion.

“These are families that are pretty vulnerable,” she said. “Most families don’t just make the leap out of poverty

No. 2 taken OLATHE, Kan. (AP) — The second of two men who escaped from a southeast Kansas county jail is back in custody.

Crawford County Sheriff Dan Peak announced Monday that Shaun Steven Simpson was arrested without incident while walking in a neighborhood in Olathe.

Simpson and Steven Barnes climbed over a fence at the county jail’s outdoor recreation area in Girard on April 23.

Barnes was recaptured Saturday at a Pittsburg motel. The vehicle the men used to escape was found at an apartment complex in Olathe.

and stay out of poverty.”

Sen. Michael O’Donnell, a Wichita Republican, previously pointed to reduced TANF enrollment as evidence that lower lifetime limits and work requirements have been effective in encouraging Kansans to find a job and improve their incomes.

“We know that these programs work,” he said during a floor debate earlier this session. “We’re getting people off TANF and into the workforce.”

It isn’t clear how many of those people left TANF because they became employed, though data available so far isn’t encouraging.

Theresa Freed, spokeswoman for the Kansas Department for Children and Families, said the department expects about 155 families per month to hit the two-year limit in fiscal year 2017. About 424 families are expected to be removed because they reached the limit in January, she said. DCF reported 4,941 families received

TANF in March 2016.

DCF will begin contacting families in July, Freed said, and plans to remove them starting Jan. 1, 2017.

“The transition to a 24-month time limit for TANF is proposed to begin July 1, allowing for all clients to be contacted

by DCF staff and an individual transition plan developed,” she said in an email. “Additionally, cases will be screened to see if they are eligible for a hardship extension.”

During negotiations Sunday, a conference committee loosened one provision that would have eliminated the work exemption for mothers who recently gave birth if they had received TANF for one year or longer. Under the version that passed, a parent of an infant would be exempted until that infant was 3 months old unless the parent already hit the lifetime limit of two years.

That was one of the more important changes that KAC sought, Cotso-

radis said, because the lower limit would have required some mothers to return to work almost as soon as they left the hospital.

“I think any mom that’s had to find infant care, let alone subsidized infant care, knows that’s very difficult,” she said.

Other changes in the bill will: • Remove a limit on ATM withdrawals for cash recipients. Federal officials said it violated laws that recipients must have adequate access to their benefits.

• Require DCF to monitor repeated requests to replace a benefit card.

• Require the state to cross-check the names of assistance recipients and people who have won $5,000 or more in the lottery.

• Limit work experience placements to six months for TANF recipients.

• Require Kansans who receive child care assistance to work at least 20 hours per week.

Lush spring fescue pastures are ready to graze. These fields can give great grazing, but be sure you take steps to avoid problems with grass tetany.

Grass tetany is caused by low blood magnesium. Low blood magnesium is often due to low levels of magnesium in lush spring grass, but it also is caused by mineral imbalances like high potassium and nitrogen or low calcium in the diet.

Grass tetany primarily affects older, heavy milking cows or sheep, but young stock also can be affected. It occurs most frequently in spring during cool, cloudy, moist conditions when lush, immature grass starts growing rapidly.

Animals affected by tetany often graze away from the herd, are irritable, show muscle twitching, awkwardness, and staggering, and they are somewhat wide-eyed and staring.

When affected severely, the animal will collapse, thrash around, throw its head back, maybe lapse into a coma, and possibly die.

To prevent grass tet-

any, first wait to graze until grass is more than 6 inches tall. Also, feed or graze legumes like clover or alfalfa when you start on pasture since they have high magnesium levels.

Feeding about 10 to 20 grams per day of supplemental magnesium via commercial or home-made salt-mineral mixes may be the best way to reduce tetany problems, but start supplementing as much as thirty days before grazing begins. Magnesium oxide is one of the best and cheapest sources of magnesium. Mix equal parts of magnesium oxide with dical, salt, and ground corn for a simple home-made supplement that provides adequate magnesium when each cow eats about one pound of the mix per week.

As always, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Wood duck stays put MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — State game officials have backed down and allowed a woman to keep a 3-year-old wood duck that was brought home by one of her dogs when it was a chick.

Earlier this year, a game warden arrived at Kimberlee Stevens’ home in Middlesex to take the duck named Peep. When Stevens refused to hand the animal over, the warden promised to return with a search warrant.

On Friday, the state Fish and Wildlife Department relented and issued a permit allowing the family to keep the bird.

Stevens said one of her dogs brought home the chick in late May 2013. They looked for a nest and its mother, but couldn’t find any hint of where it came from.

Now, Peep lives inside Stevens’ farmhouse, roams the house alongside her five dogs and seven cats, sleeps next to her bed and has its own Facebook page. In good weather, it goes outside.

Despite its role as a family pet, Peep is not house-trained.

“He poops all over. I just keep my bucket full of bleach water, we just go behind him,” she said.

Little House of the Rising Sun PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota’s stateowned publishing house is considering an offer for the rights to translate into Japanese the best-selling memoir by prairie author Laura Ingalls Wilder.

Nancy Tystad Koupal, director of the South Dakota State Historical Society Press, told the Capital Journal that Japanese people are big fans of the author of the “Little House” books.

“It does not strike anybody in the Wilder world as odd,” Koupal said. “Because the Japanese are avid fans of the Little House books, and they have all been translated into Japanese.”

“Pioneer Girl: The Annotated Autobiography” has turned out to be a blockbuster for the small publishing house. The memoir, edited by Pamela Smith Hill, spent time on the New York Times bestsellers list.

The press recently ordered another run

of the autobiography, which will put the number of copies in print at 165,000. The book was written for an adult audience and gives a more realistic, grittier view of frontier living than Wilder’s popular children’s series.

Wilder wrote her au-

tobiography in the early 1930s. By then, she had been settled on her Missouri farm for decades, but her early life took the Ingalls family on a journey that includes what today are Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas and South Dakota. frontierfarmcredit.com

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Kansas Legislature shamelessly shirks responsibility When Gov. Sam Brownback essentially tells GOP lawmakers to “Pass an irresponsible state budget that harms public services for Kansans,” too many have offered a ready-made feeble response the last four years.

Sure enough. Got it. Right away.

It happened again under the cover of darkness Monday, as the House (1:05 a.m.) and Senate (3:18 a.m.) narrowly approved an unbalanced budget for the fiscal year starting July 1.

The dreary facts didn’t change much during the debate, which featured ferocious and proper attacks by Democrats on the sad state of financial affairs.

“We cannot continue to play this shell game,” said Sen. Jeff Longbine of Emporia.

Whoops. Longbine’s actually a Republican, who appears really upset with how things have worked out since Brownback’s 2012 income tax cuts began decimating state revenues by more than $600 million a year.

Still, Longbine voted for the budget, as did too many other weak-kneed Republicans. They have awakened to the fact that the tax cuts have not spurred a surge in jobs or revenue from other sources. They just aren’t prepared to stand up to Brownback’s bullying ways and do what’s right for the people of Kansas.

Other observations from the ongoing budget debacle: Cut, cut, cut and delay

The budget slashes $115

million from next year’s highway improvement funding, combined with an additional $70 million cut from this year’s budget.

Funding for state universities and colleges falls by 3 percent, or almost $18 million — on top of a similar reduction Brownback announced earlier.

And the state gets to delay a payment of almost $100 million into its pension fund, to be paid back in 2018.

Pinky promise.

Despite all that, the Legislature refused to do its constitutional duty to pass a balanced budget and will allow Brownback to make even more trims.

The results are disheartening.

Twenty-five highway projects will be delayed, reducing the safety of roads.

Higher educational institutions will be in a weaker financial position.

State services from other departments will be reduced.

And tens of thousands of public employees just became a little more worried about the security of their retirement plans. Note that they must continue paying their pension contributions, unlike the state, over the next two years.

Kansas revenue shortfalls

On Monday, the Kansas Department of Revenue happily announced that April revenues had come in a few million dollars over expectations.

Don’t pop the champagne corks yet.

True, Kansas in the first 10

months of the current fiscal year is $124 million ahead of receipts for the same period in 2015. But that’s not surprising: The Republican-dominated Legislature that’s always crowing about how it wants to let Kansans “keep more money in your pocket” passed the largest tax increase in state history in 2015.

As House Speaker Ray Merrick and others celebrate the “we’re ahead of last year” nonsense, here are the sobering facts Kansans need to know.

Through April, the Sunflower State is $235 million below what it had collected in total taxes at the same point in the 2011-12 fiscal year. And receipts are an astonishing $420 million below what they were in the 20122013 year.

Then came the dramatic, absurd income tax cuts.

Kansas revenues actually are still far below what they once were — no matter the claptrap you hear from the Brownback and GOP camps.

Long on hope, short on facts

Republicans kept repeating a few of their favorite soothing statements Sunday night into early Monday.

One was that the new budget would have a surplus of about $80 million. What a hoot. Kansas revenue estimates have been off by hundreds of millions of dollars the last few years.

Another piece of potential fiction: We’re protecting K-12 education with this budget.

Not if the Kansas Supreme Court, after a hearing

Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback

Steven Koranda, Kansas Public Radio/KHI

next week, orders the Legislature to spend more money on this crucial service.

Where’s that money coming from in a cash-starved state that, on purpose, refuses to set up a rainy day fund even after blowing through $700 million in savings the last few years?

Finally, the Legislature voted last week to keep the costly income tax cuts for 330,000 businesses and farmers. Not because the lawmakers had any facts to base that decision on. Even many ardent Republicans realize it’s been an amazingly stupid deal to back.

But 2016 is an election year, and too many GOP members want to curry favor with beneficiaries of the tax breaks. (And some moderate GOP members balked at getting rid of the cuts because that didn’t go

far enough to balance the budget.)

An oblivious Brownback

Republicans expect the governor to sign the budget he sent them.

He likely will, even if he makes small changes. He’s already expressed support for funding reductions for roads, higher education and other state agencies, and for holding back the pension payment.

He will protect the tax cuts for 330,000 businesses and farmers at all costs — no matter how many other regressive taxes and fees must be raised to pay for that illfated decision.

Kansas is deeply in red ink and still sinking, despite the constant delusional talk from Brownback and other legislators.

— The Kansas City Star

Hillary OK being dealt ‘woman’s card’ In this campaign season of extreme silliness, it’s impossible to say Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump made a fatal mistake by accusing Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton of playing “the woman’s card.”

Trump has made many normally politically self-destructive statements about Mexicans, immigrants, refugees, women, people with disabilities and others and continued to defy political gravity to soar in the polls and win primaries and caucuses.

He is expected today to beat challengers Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich in the Indiana primary.

That’s despite Kasich and Cruz teaming up to try to slow Trump’s roll into the July Republican National Convention in Cleveland. Cruz also hoped to resuscitate his campaign by picking Carly Fiorina, a former GOP presidential contender, as his running mate.

So far no luck on either front against Trump.

Trump can’t even do himself in with his many offensive statements and actions, although his campaign stops keep attracting more angry protesters than flies.

Last week after winning primaries in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island, Trump turned his comments to Clinton: “She’s got nothing else going.

Lewis Diuguid Kansas City Star Frankly, if Hillary Clinton were a man, I don’t think she’d get 5 percent of the vote.

“The only thing she’s got going is the woman’s card. And the beautiful thing is, women don’t like her.”

But Trump isn’t capturing women’s votes either.

If Trump surfaces out of the Republican convention as the GOP nominee and Clinton wins the Democratic National Convention’s nod over Sen. Bernie Sanders, the race for the White House in November will likely amount to which candidate Americans are able to tolerate over the other.

Depending on how things play out, Trump may have enabled Clinton to be less shy about promoting herself as the nation’s first woman commander in chief and leader of the free world.

She certainly has the intellect and experience as a former senator from New York, secretary of state under President Barack Obama and first lady when Bill Clinton was president.

But Clinton also has championed women’s causes throughout her adult life, working for the Children’s Defense Fund and as first lady in

the 1990s, going to Beijing during the United Nations Fourth World Congress on Women and famously saying in a Sept. 5, 1995, speech: “Human rights are women’s rights, and women’s rights are human rights.”

She has not backed away from that stand one iota. But until now she hasn’t made it her trump card, either.

Clinton responded to Trump’s charge over her use of “the woman’s card,” saying in Philadelphia last week after her primary wins that “if fighting for women’s health care and paid family leave and equal pay is playing the ‘woman card,’ then deal me in.”

The Clinton’s campaign in a political martial arts move — using an opponent’s strength against him — has turned Trump’s slam into a Clinton moneymaker. Her campaign now is offering “The Official Hillary for America Woman Card” to people who donate to Clinton’s campaign.

People can give $3, $10, $25, $50, $100, $200 or $250.

Clinton’s boldly pink “Woman Card” is extremely affordable for men, women, girls or boys who want to see Clinton as the United States’ first woman president.

Only in America.

will, should the district ever fall down on its end of the bargain. “But we are being proactive in asking the court for guidance so that does not happen.

“Do we know what the future holds?” asked Leavitt. “No. But our hope is that the guidance from the court will allow us to construct a plan that will best fit all parties and will carry us into the future.

Thomas Bowlus had an amazing vision and plan 50 years ago. We want that same type of vision to continue for the next 50 years. But that will take a commitment to forward thinking, adaptation and change.”

IF THERE WAS ever any doubt that the Bowlus holds a cherished place in the affections of the community — at least for the sort who would turn out to a special meeting in its name — it was put to bed Monday evening. The rest of the forum saw speaker after speaker give testimony in favor of the cultural institution.

Local bank president Jim Gilpin rose first. He pointed the board’s attention to a similar public meeting convened by the school board in the fall of 1987. The schools then, too, were facing challenges. From that meeting, however, a task force emerged — of which Gilpin was a member — which, in time, and with the help of other volunteer organizations like the Bowlus Commission and Friends of the Bowlus, was able to address the majority of the issues that had initially rattled the school board then.

“With hundreds of events scheduled [at the Bowlus] each year,” said Gilpin, “I think there’s no doubt that the center is an important resource for the school, for the city, for the county, and even for the region.

Clockwise, from top left: former USD superintendent Craig Neuenswander; Presbyterian minister Linda Whitworth-Reed; Bowlus Commissioner Patti Boyd; Bowlus Commission chair, Terri Piazza; Jay Kretzmeier; Superintendent of Schools Jack Koehn; and current speech and drama teacher, Regina Christenson. REGISTER/ BOB JOHNSON

“I have a clear understanding of your dual role,” said Gilpin, who was himself once a member of the school board and a Bowlus Trustee. “I find it helpful, though, to recognize that our records from that time show that Mr. Bowlus thought long and hard about his legacy. That after much deliberation, he entrusted his gift to the board of education, the group responsible for providing for our children the best educational opportunity possible. ... To be trustee, he didn’t name the city of Iola or Allen County. ... I firmly believe Mr. Bowlus got it right when he named the board of education of USD 257 as trustee of his trust.”

“The Bowlus is not about the building,” reflected former USD 257 superintendent of schools Craig Neuenswander, who remembers the Bowlus being a perennial topic during his 12-year tenure. “It was not successful because of the building. It was successful and continues to be, because of the people involved with it;

the people who choose to work there, the commitment from the teachers, the leadership from the directors [and] the commitment from the community.”

AND IT WAS the community that showed up to speak Monday: former students, current teachers, Bowlus employees, concerned citizens, clergy.

“If you separate yourselves from seeing every moment as a teaching moment, and separate yourself from using this fantastic facility,” warned the Rev. Linda Whitworth-Reed, “then you actually stunt the entire community which you serve. Not just the children you serve now, but the children that you will serve in the future. ... To separate yourself from [the Bowlus], I think, would be a disaster. It’s one of the things that brought me here.”

It was the case with many of the nearly 20 speakers — the Bowlus

either drew them to Iola, or it drew them back, or else it keeps them here.

At one point on the night, Terri Piazza, chair of the Bowlus Commission, took to the podium and commiserated, on behalf of her group, with the board’s frustration regarding the current funding picture and acknowledged that, indeed, much has changed since Mr. Bowlus perpetrated his will a half century prior.

As such, we are willing, continued Piazza, to work with the board to pursue options that will meet the needs of the district, the students, and satisfy the requirements of the will, “including, but not limited to, renegotiating the financial contract between USD and the Bowlus Fine Arts Center.”

However, the commission’s role in this current convocation, explained Piazza, is to provide the board with recommendations. “And one of the recent recommendations

from the commission was with regard to payment of legal fees pertaining to this latest matter. We still are concerned about [that]. We would be very concerned about ongoing legal fees, and not having any idea of where the end would be, and concern about losing Bowlus trust funds for that purpose.”

In all, the forum was a polite one, each side — to the extent that there are two sides — sympathized with the other’s bind.

“I understand your problem. I know exactly how broke you are,” the Allen County Historical Society’s Donna Houser told the board. “But what you have over there is a diamond in the rough.”

Local accountant Jay Kretzmeier, offered some consolation to the board: “I only have a feel for the task that you have before you. And if there’s any wisdom that I have, it’s this: Do not feel like this is all upon your shoulders. Seek the help of the community, and let the process work its way through. Seek the help and obtain the help of the wonderful people of our community.”

One of society’s biggest problems, said Leavitt, in the forum’s final minute, “is that, usually with political questions, you have a group that’s over here and a group that’s over there and there’s nobody in the middle. I think we have enough good people in Iola today that we can figure out a way to make this work.

But I also know that the next 50 years aren’t going to be like the first 50 years. ... It’s been 40 years since we have petitioned the court for a ruling.

Again, I think we need a current review, so that we can make a plan and know where to go.”

Chiefs pick up Fisher’s option

HS Baseball: Uniontown 22, Marmaton Valley 4; Marmaton Valley 12, Uniontown 10

By DAVE SKRETTA The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs have exercised their fifth-year option on left tackle Eric Fisher, which means the former No. 1 overall draft pick is scheduled to make $11.9 million during the 2017 season.

The Chiefs had until Monday to decide on the option, which becomes fully guaranteed next March.

Chiefs general manager John Dorsey has said he would like to sign Fisher to a long-term deal, and the decision to pick up the pricey option may simply be part of the negotiation process.

Fisher had a disappointing first two seasons in the NFL, and some were quick to label the Central Michigan product a bust. But the 6-foot-7, 305-pound lineman appeared to break through last season, even shutting down Texans star pass rusher J.J. Watt during their playoff game.

“I see myself on a steady incline,” Fisher said during a recent interview. “I’m looking to pick up where I left off, continue to grow and stay on a steady rise throughout my career. If I can do that 10 more years, however many more years, I’m looking forward to it.”

The Chiefs still allowed quarterback Alex Smith to get sacked 45 times last season, but Fisher was hardly the reason for it. Kansas City had to shuffle elsewhere along the offensive line as it dealt with a series of injuries, while Fisher remained a constant — he appeared in all 16 regularseason games.

In fact, health had been a big issue for him early in his career. Fisher dealt with a shoulder injury that required a lengthy rehab, and had also

OFF THE SNIDE Marmaton Valley gets first win of the season

By JON DYKSTRA The Iola Register

MORAN — It has been a long season for the Marmaton Valley baseball team.

Entering Monday’s doubleheader with Uniontown, the Wildcats were 0-10 on the season and game one against the Eagles provided no sign of that trend changing.

Uniontown thumped Marmaton Valley 22-4 in a four-inning shortened game. Uniontown posted 11 runs in

the fourth inning alone to guarantee that the game was ended after four.

Game two felt different from the start and the biggest reason for that was on the mound where Justice Pugh took the ball for the Wildcats.

Pugh missed the game-one loss as he had to sit out one game following his ejection the last game for Marmaton Valley. “(Sitting out the first game) fueled a fire for me coming out there and I See FIRST | Page B3

MORAN — Marmaton Valley’s softball team has been able to find ways to win all season long and they have stayed above .500 for the entire season.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Six years before it has to be done, state and federal officials are already talking about redistricting of congressional and legislative districts in Kansas.

The new maps for political districts aren’t due in Kansas until 2022.

But officials from the U.S. Census Bureau met with the state Legislature’s research department last week to discuss the process and get familiar with data and computer software that will be used, The Lawrence Journal-World reported.

The next census will be in 2020 and states have two years after that to draw new political maps. “It’s a long process, so we want to get information out early so folks can start preparing whatever material they need — geographic information; software — so they can start thinking about how they’re going to implement the program when it comes time to actually start redistricting,� said Michael Ratcliffe, the Census Bureau’s assistant division chief for geographic standards in Washington.

The census counts each state’s residents and maps them into geographic units known as census “blocks.� Legislatures use that data to draw maps that are supposed to be as equal in population as possible.

The process is often controversial. In 2012, Kansas lawmakers were unable to draw a redistricting plan of their own, leaving the job to a three-judge federal court panel.

An estimated 2.9 million people currently live in Kansas, about 2.1 percent more than the count from the 2010 census. Kansans are steadily moving from rural areas into the state’s larger cities, particularly Kansas City and Lawrence, and Ratcliff said that trend is likely to continue. “Some of the (rural) counties out here in Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakotas hit their peaks in the late 1800s, others in the early part of the 20th century,� he said. “And that’s happening all across the country, really, not just out here.�

The shift likely means the next round of redistricting will leave Kansas City, Lawrence and Wichita metropolitan areas with more seats in the Kansas Legislature, with fewer rural legislators. That could lead to significant changes in how the state’s four congressional districts are configured. It appears the First district, which covers all of western Kansas and much of central Kansas will become larger geographically, while the Second and Third Districts of eastern Kansas, and the Fourth District around Wichita will become smaller.

The state officials who met at the Statehouse won’t be involved in those decisions. They will manage the data files and software programs that allow lawmakers and others to draw maps and submit their proposals for the new districts. “We provide the data.

The states then do the work. We stay out of that,� Ratcliffe said.

‘Hamilton’ leads with 16 Tony nominations NEW YORK (AP) — The megahit musical “Hamilton� has grabbed a record-breaking 16 Tony Award nominations, the biggest haul in Broadway history and another notch in the show’s march into theatrical history.

Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hip-hop-flavored biography about the first U.S. treasury secretary today broke the 15-nominations record held by “The Producers� and “Billy Elliot.� ‘’Hamilton� was nominated in virtually every category it could compete in, from acting to scenic design.

Next month, it will fight for Broadway’s biggest crown — best new musical — with “Bright Star,� “School of Rock,� “Shuffle Along� and “Waitress.� “School of Rock,� the adaptation by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Julian Fellowes of the Jack Black movie about a wannabe rocker who enlists fifth-graders to form a rock group, earned four nominations, including best musical, book, original score and best leading man in Alex Brightman. “It’s a funny season this one, isn’t it,� said

Lloyd Webber from London. “As you know, it’s the ‘Hamil-Tonys.’ We’ve gotten everything we could have hoped for and that’s all we’ll get. But it’s lovely in this season of all seasons to get score and musical and book.

We’re terribly pleased.�

The best play category is composed of “Eclipsed,� “The Father,� “The Humans� and “King Charles III.�

The awards will be handed out June 12, with James Corden playing host from the Beacon Theatre.

After “Hamilton,� the other top nominations went to the new musical “Shuffle Along,� a show that explores a groundbreaking 95-year-old musical starring, written and directed by AfricanAmericans, which got 10 nominations, and the revival of “She Loves Me,� which earned eight. “Hamilton� has burst through the Broadway bubble like few shows.

U.S. presidential candidates have tweeted about it, it has influenced the debate over the nation’s currency and the show has been referenced on “Saturday Night Live� and “Inside Amy Schumer.�

just really wanted to get a win,” Pugh said.

Pugh got started fast with a shutout in the first inning and the Wildcat offense felt the momentum and ran with it.

Jake Kress, Pugh, Keagan Boyd, Gage Adams and Korbin Smith all had consecutive singles to begin the bottom of the first inning. Trevor Wilson and Jake Kale also added hits in the inning and just like that the Wildcats held a 6-0 lead. It was the largest advantage they had built in a game all season.

The Eagles responded with three runs in the second inning but Marmaton Valley’s offense continued to surge. Backto-back hits from Pugh and Boyd in the homehalf of the second resulted in two more Wildcat runs. After two innings, Marmaton Valley held a 8-3 lead.

“It is nice to know that when I am pitching, we can score runs,” Pugh said.

Uniontown scored three runs in the third and fourth inning. The struggles that Marmaton Valley has been dealing with all season fielding the ball resurfaced.

Scharff was happy with the way Pugh handled himself despite the defense behind him struggling.

“As a pitcher, it is tough when people are making errors behind you,” Marmaton Valley coach Derek Scharff said. “It is tough to stay focused, but he did a good job. He kept throwing strikes and keeping it in there and we finally fielded a few behind him.”

Pugh says when he is on the mound he tries to block out any mistakes that happen behind him and worry about what he can control.

“When there are errors behind you, you can’t let

Marmaton Valley second baseman Dmitri Lamping retreats to catch a pop-up against Uniontown. Marmaton Valley split with Uniontown. It was the Wildcats first win of the year. REGISTER/JON DYKSTRA that affect you,” Pugh said. “A lot of people let that happen but you just have to stick to your game.”

Pugh buckled down in the fifth inning with a shutout inning and which again seemed to ignite the offense.

“Justice pitched great, we fielded some of the balls behind him and hit the ball well, so that usually turns into good things,” Scharff said.

With two outs and nobody on base, the Wildcats got hot again. Six straight hits allowed Boyd and Adams to score and Marmaton Valley retook the lead at 10-9.

“It makes me nervous just because of the way the year has gone,” Scharff said of the close game. “We left the bases loaded three times that game so that is never good.”

Uniontown was able to tie the game up with a run in the sixth inning, but again the Wildcats were building off their offensive momentum from the previous inning and scored two runs in the bottom of the sixth to surge back in front 12-10.

“I wanted it pretty bad,” Pugh said of his mentality coming back

out for the seventh inning to seal the game. “My arm was feeling fine.”

Pugh saved his best inning for last, recording a 1-2-3 seventh inning to finish his complete game and put his team in the win column for the first time this season.

“It is hard to lose a lot, but it is a big reward to get that ‘W’ tonight,” Pugh said.

Pugh’s coach was also feeling good after the game.

“It feels darn nice,” Scharff said. “Now hopefully we can build on it and continue to keep working and get better.”

UP NEXT The Wildcats will look to continue their momentum on Thursday when they hit the road to face off with Oswego.

“We need to learn what we did right (against Uniontown) and keep doing those things and continue to get better,” Pugh said.

Scharff says Thursday’s doubleheader offers a great chance to continue the momentum and add a couple of more victories.

“We have two winnable games on Thursday,” Scharff said.

Chiefs draft several troubled talents KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs have put as much faith in their off-the-field detective work as their betweenthe-lines scouting the past few years, and the result has been draft gems such as Marcus Peters.

They hope similar research — and gambling — pays off this year.

The Chiefs spent a third-round pick on a cornerback who missed an entire season for violating Notre Dame’s honor code.

They used a fourthrounder on a wide receiver suspended four times at Florida for drugs and other violations. In the fifth round came a speedy wide receiver that was booted out of Oklahoma State after pleading guilty to punching and choking his pregnant girlfriend. In the sixth, a linebacker out of Virginia Tech once charged with larceny and suspended for bumping into an official.

All those picks were made in the 36 hours after Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt, in town for the draft, told reporters that “character, first of all, is a very important quality.”

“You want to have as many high-character guys as you can in your locker room,” he said. “I think we’re very fortunate to have a truly outstanding locker room in regard to that point.”

The Chiefs leaned on that locker-room leadership with Peters, who had been kicked out of Washington’s program after repeated run-ins with his coach. The Chiefs spent countless hours learning the back story, and were confident enough in their assessment of his character that they took him in the first round.

Not only was he a role model last season, he was also the defensive rookie of the year.

“Not everybody is

going to be the kind of leader that you would like, that you draft,” Hunt said, “but certainly you want the majority of the guys to be like that.”

Not all those picks this year are quite as shaky as they appear on the surface.

KeiVarae Russell was a standout cornerback for the Fighting Irish before academic issues threatened to sideline his career. But his suspension might have been merely a one-game penalty at schools with less rigid standards, and Russell owned his mistakes by taking junior college classes rather than transferring.

The Chiefs were impressed that he returned to Notre Dame, earned his starting job back last season and is on track to become the first person from his family to graduate from college.

“Obviously with something like that, you are in a time that you are stuck in kind of a deep, darkness kind of thing.

Thinking about, ‘What do I do here?” Russell said. “I went to school still, I had a job. I was still taking classes. ... It was showing that I made a mistake and I wanted to come back.”

The Chiefs were just as confident that Russell had matured as they were that Demarcus Robinson, who spent 45 days in a drug treatment facility as a freshman, had gotten past his problems.

The former Gators wide receiver was suspended three times that year, but then stayed out of trouble — Robinson says he hasn’t touched drugs since — until a one-game suspension this past season.

That was for meeting with a marketing rep, and Robinson was welcomed back by his teammates.

“There were a lot of questions, a lot of doubts. I just had to let everyone know that was in the past,” he said. “That was my freshman year and I’m a changed guy.”

It took the Chiefs spending countless hours with Russell in

Florida, along with visits with coaches and family members, before walking away confident that he had gotten past it.

“You go into the school, talk to the staff, see how he’s grown,” Chiefs scout Ryne Nutt said. “We feel like he’s matured, like he’s been humbled. The growth in the kid kind of sold himself.”

Russell and Robinson were relatively easy sells compared to Tyreek Hill.

The speedster was dismissed from Oklahoma State’s program in December 2014 after he was accused of domestic violence. Hill wound up pleading guilty last year to assault and battery by strangulation and was sentenced to three years of probation, anger management courses and a program for domestic abusers.

It was precisely the kind of incident that has given the NFL a black eye in recent years.

“He’s a guy that had an issue in the past,” Nutt said. “We’ve done the research on it and from that, I think (general manager) John (Dorsey) was comfortable enough to take the kid.”

Dorsey was not available to discuss the selection until his post-draft availability Monday.

Hill spent time at Garden City Community College before joining the Cowboys, and wound up finishing his career at West Alabama. He ran a 40-yard dash in 4.24 seconds as his pro day — world-class speed by just about any measure — and could turn out to be a standout kick and punt returner.

Assuming he stays out of trouble, of course.

Like many others in recent years, it’s a gamble the Chiefs were willing to take.

Fisher

dealt with other minor injuries that held him back.

“That shoulder surgery is quite a long recovery. This year felt that much better,” he said. “I feel great right now, I feel real strong, nothing’s holding me back.”

The Chiefs only drafted one offensive lineman among their nine selections last weekend, and that was Cincinnati’s Parker Ehinger.

He played left tackle in college, but projects as a guard in the NFL. They signed Mitchell Schwartz in free agency, but he figures to play right tackle.

So, the Chiefs appear to be planning on Fisher being around for a while, and just as he’s starting to come into his own.

The way he played in the Chiefs’ playoff victory over Houston — and the mean streak that he displayed against Watt — was a sign that Fisher is developing into a stalwart offensive tackle.

“Yeah, I thought that was a real fun game for me,” he said. “It almost seemed like a little bit of a turning point in my career. It was nice to get going — especially here in the playoffs, round one. And then (winning) the first playoff game in quite some time around here was a big accomplishment.”

Oklahoma City evens up series with San Antonio on road SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Russell Westbrook had 29 points and 10 assists, and the Oklahoma City Thunder held on to beat San Antonio 98-97 on Monday night, evening the series at one game apiece when the Spurs failed to score on a wild sequence in the final seconds.

Kevin Durant added 28 points as the Thunder handed the Spurs just their second home loss of the season, rebounding from a 32-point beating.

San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich complained to officials after the game that Dion Waiters went over the allotted

five seconds to inbound the ball on Oklahoma City’s final possession.

Replays showed Waiters elbowed Manu Ginobili to get the space needed to pass the ball to Durant, who was immediately stripped by Danny Green.

LeBron James scored 25 points, Kyrie Irving added 21 and Cleveland withstood a strong comeback

by Atlanta to maintain its chokehold on the Hawks in the opening game of their second-round Eastern Conference series.

James converted a critical three-point play with 2:09 left for the Cavs, who fell behind in the fourth after leading by 18. Cleveland swept Atlanta in last

year’s Eastern Conference finals and has won eight straight over the Hawks.

Dennis Schroder scored a playoff career-high 27 and rallied the Hawks before they crumbled in the closing minutes. Atlanta’s offense bogged down in crunch time and the Hawks only scored two field goals in the final 4 minutes.

NATIONAL MARKETPLACE

By DAVE SKRETTA The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Dusty Baker has been around long enough to know hitters tend to heat up with the weather.

In the meantime, the Nationals manager is content to rely on his pitching to win games.

Gio Gonzalez and the Washington bullpen combined on a five-hitter Monday night, picking up slumping slugger Bryce Harper and the rest of the offense in a 2-0 victory over the World Series champion Kansas City Royals.

Ryan Zimmerman and Daniel Murphy drove in the only runs in the first inning.

“It usually takes you a little while to get going,” Baker said. “Early in the season, you rely a lot on your bullpen because your starters are only able to go six or seven innings.”

Gonzalez (2-1) went just six, but he scattered four hits and a pair of walks in his latest smooth start. He’s allowed only four earned runs combined in his first five outings.

Sammy Solis needed eight pitches for a spotless seventh, and Shawn Kelley and Oliver Perez combined to strike out three straight after a leadoff double in the eighth.

Jonathan Papelbon handled an easy ninth for his ninth save, ensuring the Nationals their fourth consecutive win.

“That is one heck of a lineup,” Gonzalez said.

“They’re going to go up there and work the count. They’re not going to swing just to swing.

They’re going to go out there and put some balls in play and make some damage out of it. I’m just grateful some of those balls were hit at guys.”

Edinson Volquez (3-2) needed 29 pitches just to navigate the decisive first inning for Kansas City. But he wound up giving his team a chance, allowing seven hits and a walk in 7 2/3 innings.

The loss was the sixth in seven games for the weak-hitting Royals.

Three have been shutouts.

“We’re not firing on all cylinders offensively,” manager Ned Yost said.

“We’ve got guys that are struggling right now, guys that are proven players, guys that have tremendous track records and they’re going to break out of it here real soon.”

In the first inning, it looked as if the Nationals would continue the misery Volquez experienced his last time out against the Angels, when he allowed eight runs on a career-high 12 hits in five innings.

Michael Taylor worked a full-count, leadoff walk, and Anthony Rendon followed with a single. Zimmerman drove in the first run with a double, and Murphy’s run-scoring

Aldridge lost the ball after grabbing the airball and Kawhi Leonard was unable to gather the ball before the buzzer sounded.

Aldridge had 41 points, but the Spurs shot 43 percent as a team after shooting 61 percent in the series opener.

Game 3 is Friday at Oklahoma City.

Kansas City Royals shortstop Alcides Escobar forces out Washington Nationals’ Danny Espinosa at second and completes the double play on Michael Taylor during the fifth inning on Monday at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. John Sleezer/Kansas City Star/TNS groundout made it 2-0.

Volquez eventually settled down, retiring nine straight before Murphy’s single in the fourth. But by that point, Gonzalez was doing such a good job keeping the slumping Kansas City lineup off balance that even a two-run lead seemed insurmountable.

Gonzalez didn’t allow a single until the third, then watched catcher Jose Lobaton throw out Lorenzo Cain trying to steal to end the inning.

Gonzalez allowed another single in the fifth before getting out of a two-on, one-out jam by inducing back-to-back fly balls to end the sixth.

“Us being able to nab Lorenzo at third base right there was a big turning point in the ballgame,” Murphy said.

“Great play by Jose behind the plate.”

Royals RHP Luke Hochevar was available out of the bullpen after getting a couple of days off to rest some minor tightness in his elbow. Hochevar has had Tommy John surgery in the past, so Yost said he was being cautious with him. “He feels good,” Yost said.

Tips for fixing my leaky spigot Dear Dr. Roach: I had a DaVinci prostatectomy 11 months ago. I can sit or stand for hours with no problem, but then sitting on the floor to play with my dog causes me to leak. I realize that getting on the floor or any other bending squeezes my bladder, thus causing a leak. So does a cough or a sneeze. A heavy lift also can trigger leakage.

I sleep all night with no leakage, although I do urinate two or three times a night. I have done Kegel exercises, but have been

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health

told to cut back so that I don’t overtire the muscle. Do you know of any procedure by a doctor or anything I personally can do to help alleviate this problem? My doctor says, “Just wait -- it takes time,” but I’ve experienced no further improvement since about six months

post-surgery. Is this something that I may have to deal with permanently?

— K.F. Answer: Incontinence in men following prostate surgery is a common problem, even in robotic (DaVinci is a robotic system) surgeries. In a large study, about half of men after prostate surgery will have some incontinence two months after surgery, but this decreases to 15 percent at one year. At two years, only 7 percent of men felt that incontinence was a moderate or

big problem. A separate study showed that urinary function continues to improve for up to four years after surgery. So I agree with your doctor that time is likely to improve your symptoms.

Pelvic floor exercises have been proven in multiple studies to benefit incontinence symptoms.

I am surprised that you are getting advice to cut down, but I would listen to the advice of the therapist helping you, who must have vastly more experience than I do.

gled,” Colgin said. “They hit them in the gaps and we couldn’t really stop them from scoring, but we did what we could.”

The Wildcat offense was able to lead the team to a 13-12 victory in game two and it was the bottom of the order that provided the biggest shot in the arm for Marmaton Valley.

Makayla and Shayla Brooks batted in the eight- and nine-spots for the Wildcats and combined to go six-for-six with two walks.

Makayla Brooks had three singles and scored four runs. Her sister Shayla had a double and two singles and scored twice.

Marmaton Valley started the scoring early when sophomore Isabelle Bigelow led off the bottom of the first with a walk and pitcher Karlie Stephens followed up with a single. With that, Marmaton Valley took a 1-0 lead.

They added four more in the second with Stephens, Makayla Brooks, Shayla Brooks and Shailee Woods all scoring runs.

Uniontown answered back in the third inning when they posted three runs .

Marmaton Valley clawed out two runs in its half of the third. Makayla Brooks and Paige Becker each scored.

In the fourth inning, Uniontown scored two more runs off of Stephens, but the freshman hung in there and maintained the lead at 7-5.

The Wildcats matched the Eagles with two runs of their own in the fourth and built the lead back up to 9-5.

The fifth inning was scoreless for both sides, but in the top of the sixth Uniontown tied it up with four runs.

Credit Card # Marmaton Valley senior Ashlynn Pinkerton takes a swing against Uniontown on Monday in Moran. The Wildcats split with the Eagles. REGISTER/JON DYKSTRA Again, the lower part of the Wildcat lineup came through in the sixth. Junior Kyla Drake led off with a triple. After an out was recorded, Marmaton Valley reeled off five straight hits.

Becker and the Brooks sisters started it off with the first three of those hits from the 7-8-9 spots in the lineup.

By the time Bigelow and Stephens also got hits, Marmaton Valley had built a 13-9 lead.

Uniontown answered back with three in the top of the sixth, but Stephens induced a pop-out to third to end the game and strand the tying runner at second.

“It just came down to us being able to stop them from scoring, which we did right there at the end,” Colgin said. “Barely.”
