Hay, that’s quite a garden

Any questions Gene Roush might have had about his new garden were answered early on in the growing season.

“My back tells me this was the right move,” he said as he inspected his row of plants, most of which were planted

Theatre hosts open house

By KAREN INGRAM The Iola Register

The public is invited to visit the Iola Theatre and see the progress of its restoration this weekend.

Tours will be held from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday and from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday. Free refreshments will be provided. They will also have a booth at the Day of Giving on Saturday for people to learn more about the project.

Jim Smith, who is spearheading the restoration project with David Toland, said the tours will give people an opportunity to see what’s been done so far, ask questions and learn more about their plans for the theater.

The project is a daunting task, not unlike the one faced by those who restored the Granada Theatre in Emporia. Water leaked for years, damaging the plaster walls inside.

Smith said so far they have been focusing on “gutting” the interior to reveal the original walls.

“We knew how bad it was going to be,” he said.

“Nothing’s been a surprise.”

Despite the long road ahead of them, Smith said See THEATER | Page A4

atop hay bales.

Roush’s hay bale garden, along the 400 block of East Lincoln Street, has already borne fruit — er, vegetables, to be exact.

Beans are starting to pod, and Roush’s wife, Laura, already has picked some of the radishes.

“About everything we’d have in the ground, except for corn,” he said. “We’ll get

enough for what we need.”

Beets, red bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, zucchini and yellow squash all have sprouted nicely.

The recent spell of wet, warm weather has been a boon.

“It rained the other day, and whoosh, those things just shot up,” he said. “I haven’t See HAY | Page A4

Emergency radio communications should be clear as a bell throughout Allen County when a new relay antenna is raised from 238 feet to 370 on a tower near LaHarpe.

County commissioners gave Sheriff Bryan Murphy thumbs up on the project Tuesday morning. Cost will run between $15,000 and $20,000, Murphy said, with funds coming from 911 emergency telephone reserves, which today contains about $144,000.

Murphy explained that when radio communications were moved to a more narrow band, from 25 megahertz to 12.5 by Federal Communications Commission dictate, dead spots became more of a concern.

“We had some before but narrow band transmissions caused more problems,” he said.

Also, Murphy said “it’s time to update our equip-

ment. The relay antenna — on a tower owned by American Tower, Woburn, Mass. — is about 20 years old, along with the coaxial cable” that runs down the tower. “We want to be proactive and update the equipment before it starts giving us problems.”

Dead spots mainly are in the corners of the county.

Messages are broadcast from the tower outside the county’s critical response center at 410 N. State St. Radio signals then get a boost from the relay antenna near LaHarpe.

Allen County pays $250 a month for access to the LaHarpe tower.

Southwind Trail to celebrate anniversary

By KAYLA BANZET The Iola Register

The Southwind Rail Trail will celebrate its first anniversary on Saturday. The anniversary coincides with National Trail Day, a day that encourages people to get outside and be active on nearby trails.

The festivities begin at 10 a.m. Saturday when participants will gather at both ends of the trail in Iola and Humboldt. The trail begins at Riverside Park in Iola and to the east of B&W Trailer Hitches in Humboldt.

From there participants can journey to the Rotary shelter about midway along the 6.5 mile path, where food and drinks will be served.

Regina Woodworth, trail secretary, said those who attend will be given a trail trivia sheet. The sheet in-

cludes things to look for while on the trail. The answers will be announced at the middle and prizes will be given. Southwind Trail Tshirts will be on sale for $10.

The outdoor trail has been a large success in the community over the past year and trail volunteers hope to see many people using the trail this weekend.

“We encourage people to come out and either ride or walk on the trail with us,” Woodworth said.

For some, using the trail has opened a new way to enjoy exercise.

Iolan Mary Ann Arnott has walked on the trail many times with her husband, Jim. And while walking the trail has always been an enjoyable activity, this year for Mother’s Day Jim bought her a bicycle.

“I had never used hand gears on a bike before but it’s

I had never used hand gears on a bike before but it’s just delightful. It’s very peaceful and relaxing on the trail and much safer than riding on the roads.

just delightful,” Arnott said.

“It’s very peaceful and relaxing on the trail and much safer than riding on the roads.”

Barb Geffert and her husband Mike live close to the trail and use it frequently.

“I think it’s a benefit,” Geffert said. “We ride our bikes on the trail and have ridden to Humboldt and back.”

Woodworth said many people don’t realize the

trail is maintained by volunteers. Dave Fontaine, trail manager, and Pat Haire, trail president, volunteer to keep tree limbs cut back and debris off the trail.

“Our volunteers do all this work with in-kind donations,” Woodworth said.

“We could always use more volunteers to help.”

Those interested in volunteering can contact Woodworth at 620-228-4013.

Financial Focus Avoid Problems by Updating Beneficiary Designations

Like many people, you might not particularly enjoy thinking about your estate plans, but such planning is necessary to make sure your assets go where you want them to go. And it’s just as important to regularly review your plans with your tax, legal and financial professionals in case any changes are needed. For instance, some of your wishes expressed in your will may be overridden by beneficiary designations you filled out years ago. If these designations become outdated, your assets could be passed to those you didn’t intend.

You might be surprised at how many of your financial assets and legal documents have beneficiary designations tied to them. If you have an IRA, a 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan, a life insurance policy, an annuity, a transfer-on-death (TOD) arrangement, or any of a variety of other assets or accounts, you almost certainly named a beneficiary. And this beneficiary designation offers a simple, direct and efficient way to get assets in the hands of your loved ones who survive you.

However, as time goes by, you may experience many changes in your life — and when your life changes, your beneficiary designations may need to follow. But if you are like many people, you might forget to update these designations after a marriage, divorce or other change in your family situation. And because the beneficiary designation is a legally binding document, the asset will go to the person you once named as a beneficiary, regardless of your current relationship status.

It really doesn’t take much effort to look over your accounts and legal arrangements to ensure that your beneficiary designations are current — and if they aren’t, it’s pretty easy to change them. In fact, for some financial accounts, you may be able to update the beneficiary designations online. In any case, plan on reviewing your beneficiary designations regularly, but especially when you experience a change in your life.

Here’s one more thing to keep in mind: Make sure your current beneficiaries are informed that they will eventually be receiving your 401(k), IRA, life insurance proceeds or other assets that require a beneficiary designation. This advance knowledge may help your loved ones as they plan and maintain their own financial and investment strategies.

Although it’s clearly important for you to update your beneficiary designations and to communicate your actions, you will still need to attend to other areas of your estate planning, such as providing care for minor children or dependents, deciding who you want to receive specific items that do not carry a beneficiary designation, naming someone to manage your affairs should you become incapacitated, and specifying the control you wish your beneficiaries to have over their inheritance. These are just a few examples of estate-planning considerations.

Because everyone’s situation is different, you will need to consult with your legal advisor to determine the level of estate planning you require. As we’ve seen, updating your beneficiary is one piece of the puzzle — but to leave the legacy you desire, you’ve got to complete the picture.

Hay: Man makes hay bales into garden Continued from A1

had to water anything in several days.”

Roush strategically placed 30 hay bales he purchased from local farmer David Tidd on a square layer of cardboard.

“It’s important to know where you want them the first time, because it gets a lot harder to move them once the bales have been sitting a while,” Roush said.

Roush soaked the hay

bales with water prior to planting, and applied fertilizer as a pretreatment.

He waited until well into April before planting because of the late arrival of warm spring temperatures.

A 2-inch layer of potting soil was used as the growing base. A soaking hose snakes along the plants for watering, if necessary.

The benefits were immediate.

“My back is not nearly

as sore after a day in the garden,” Roush noted.

Weeds weren’t an issue, either. His only concern is grass growing up around the bottom of the bales.

Roush read up on hay bale gardening before he began, from everything from plant arrangements to pest control.

The venture has been successful enough to convince Roush to plant in this manner from now on.

At the end of the growing season, Roush likely will simply remove the metal strands of baling wire and let the straw settle over the winter to make a fresh layer of mulch for next year.

Workshop: Continued from A1

used a large turntable to create different scenes.

“I like to see how certain things are built,” he said. “You don’t have to use what is given to you in the tech world.”

His family was another large influence for him. His father is a carpenter, his mom acted and did costume design and his sister acted.

“I would always come to rehearsals with them and I grew up in this place,” he said speaking of the Bowlus. “It holds a special place in my heart.”

Higginbotham said he was terrible at memorizing lines but enjoyed acting. His favorite role one summer required no lines. After graduating from Iola High School he attended Ottawa University and majored in theater.

This past year he has commuted from Ottawa to Iola to help with the tech booth at the Bowlus. He and his wife Jenna made the decision to move their family to Iola to eliminate the commute. They have two children, Eliana and Easton.

Higginbotham said he is a little nervous to start the workshop, but also excited.

“I hope the love I have for the theater will come through,” Higginbotham said. “Susan was my teacher and I want the kids to like it.”

Raines said she is looking forward to Higginbotham joining the direction team.

“John will bring new ideas to the workshop,” she said. “It’s great that it’s someone who has been a part of all of it.”

RAINES and Higginbotham will be assisted by workshop staff members, Madison Luken, Jordan Strickler and Michael Wilson. The deadline for pre-enrollment is Friday. The workshop costs $30 per student and $15 for Kids Club members. It will be from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. on June 16 through June 27 for third through fifth graders. Middle school students will meet the same days from 10 a.m. to noon.

They will take enrollment on the day of the workshop but early enrollment is encouraged.

Forms may be picked up at the Bowlus.

The performance date will be 9:30 a.m. on June 28 at the Iola Community Warehouse Theatre.

“Students help write the show,” Raines said.

“It’s wherever the kids’ imagination takes it.

They are influenced by things from TV and movies but they still come up with a twist on it.”

Raines said the workshop is sponsored by the Bowlus Fine Arts Center, Iola Community Theatre and Sleeper Family Trust.

Taliban video shows handover of US soldier KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The Taliban today released a video showing the handover of Sgt.

The 17-minute video emailed to media shows the moment of Bergdahl’s handover. He was freed on Saturday after five years in captivity, and exchanged for the five Taliban Guantanamo detainees who were flown to Qatar, a tiny Gulf Arab country which has served as a mediator in the negotiations for the swap.

Since his release, the 28-year-old from Hailey, Idaho, was reported to be in stable condition at a military hospital in Germany.

The Taliban video

shows Bergdahl in traditional Afghan clothing, the white salwar kameez, clean-shaven and sitting in a white pickup truck parked on a hillside. More than a dozen Taliban fighters with machineguns, their faces mostly covered by headscarves, stand around the truck and on the hillside.

Bergdahl is seen blinking frequently as he looks out of the truck and appears to be listening as one of his captors speaks to him.

A helicopter then lands and two Taliban fighters, one carrying a white piece of cloth tied to a stick of wood, lead Bergdahl half way toward the helicopter, a few hundred yards away.

Bergdahl is then greeted and taken by three Western-looking men in civilian clothes to the helicopter, where soldiers in Army uniforms are waiting.

Theatre: Open house Saturday Continued from A1

restoring the theater will be a great benefit for the community.

“We just need to save our history,” he said.

“We’ve lost too much of our history.”

Like many other members of the community, Smith said he has many fond memories of the theater from his childhood. Childrens’ shows and Saturday matinees used to draw children from all over the community, leaving the side-

walk packed with bicycles.

“Lots of people had their first date there,” he said. “There’s a lot of memories there for a lot of people.”

Smith said they have been reaching out to the community to find any old photos of the theater. They would especially love to find interior photos, if anyone has them. Donations to help the restoration of the theater can be made to Allen County

said he would provide materials and labor for the new roof, which will have a pronounced slope rather than being flat.

Who will do the painting hasn’t been determined, but Hawk said he was confident Rotarians could find someone to do the work gratis.

— Terry Call, who does ambulance billing, said through the end of May charges totaled $610,531.44 for the year, which is about $160,000 more than both of the last two years. Collec-

tions for the first five months have totaled $302,041.52.

That puts the ambulance service, now operated by Iola, on pace to bill $1,465,275.48 and for collections to be $732,637.50.

However, Call thinks collections will increase to well above the $750,000 that the county guaranteed Iola for operating countywide service.

Call pointed out a noticeable increase was for patients covered by Medicaid, at 73 in 2014 or 50 more than last year’s 23

after five months.

— Commissioners approved purchase of a service body for a Public Works truck from Midwest Truck Equipment, Wichita, for $6,739. That is $823 more than a bid from Knapheide, Kansas City, Mo. The Midwest body includes a receiver hitch and seven-way socket for towing, valued at $500. Knapheide did not include the hitch and socket in its bid because it wasn’t part of specifications.

— Murphy told commissioners his officers

wrote 199 citations and made one warrant arrest from 136 vehicle stops during the recent Click It or Ticket campaign to encourage seatbelt use. Of the citations, 155 were for non-use of seatbelts by adults, eight for youths, five for non-use of child restraints and 31 for other violations.

Seatbelt citations carry a $10 fine.

“Stops and tickets were meant to teach,” Murphy said, and that he hoped those cited learned from the experience.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Now don’t tell me, there’s nothing to do; weekend full of fun The allure of small town life will be on full display this weekend.

Beginning Friday, the annual Relay for Life cancer walk will fill the Iola square from dusk to dawn. Tables and tents will no sooner be taken down Saturday morning only to be replaced by local charitable organizations and non-profits participating in the first-time Day of Giving.

Right off the square on South Broadway, the old Iola Theatre will have an open house Saturday and Sunday to not only show off recent renovations, but also attract donations and volunteers to take the project to completion. Iolan Jim Smith has taken on much of restoring the theater to its glory of the 1930s when the art deco style was all the rage.

Then out on the Southwind Rail Trail, the Iola to Humboldt leg is celebrating its one year anniversary with activities beginning at 10 a.m. at both Riverside Park in Iola and at the trailhead in Humboldt to the east of B&W Trailer Hitches.

Riders and walkers will be encouraged to converge at the Rotary shelter approximately midway where food and drinks will be served.

CITY FOLK complain about the lack of community.

They don’t know their neighbors. They don’t feel a part of something bigger that gives meaning to their lives. They’d like to participate in a purposeful, not to mention fun, activity. Simply said, they would like to feel they fit in.

The weekend’s fare fits all the above.

Relay for Life brings together a community of cancer survivors and those affected by the dreaded disease. It’s a surprisingly uplifting affair that involves teams of walkers who stay up through the night on the downtown square. Some make it a goal to walk the night away; others are con-

tent to stay put in lawn chairs.

Entertainment keeps the mood festive as well as the natural camaraderie that develops from participating in a common cause.

Same goes for the celebration of the first anniversary of the Southwind Rail Trail, the banked 6.5 miles of the former Santa Fe railway.

The trail connects to the Prairie Spirit Trail that continues another 51 miles up to Ottawa, bringing cyclists, runners and walkers from near and afar.

Free access to the trail has helped make it a popular site for local exercise enthusiasts.

The Day of Giving is new to Iola this year, spearheaded by the Allen County Community Foundation.

The purpose is to raise awareness to the many charitable and nonprofit organizations in our community and, hopefully, spur donations. The top four fundraisers from the drive will receive $250 stipends from the community foundation in recognition of their good works.

Representatives of more than 30 local organizations will be on the courthouse square beginning at 9 a.m.

Saturday. It’s a great opportunity to learn of the many good deeds being performed in our area and perhaps enlist your own talents.

Iola’s native son Mark Toland will cap off the day with a performance of his magical talents at the Bowlus Fine Arts Center.

Now of Chicago, Toland’s unusual talent and endearing sense of humor are spearheading him onto a national stage.

THE BEAUTY of small town America is the inherent sense of purpose we each are bestowed to carry our communities into a successful future.

When we each accept that ownership and work together, good things happen.

— Susan Lynn

KANSAS LEGISLATURE

Court reforms power overreach It says right in the Kansas Constitution that “the Supreme Court shall have general administrative authority over all courts in this state.”

Yet the Legislature and Gov. Sam Brownback recently took it upon themselves to take the power to control budgets and pick chief administrative district judges away from the high court.

So much for the 1970s unification of court administration that had favored central oversight and its efficient management of resources.

Lawmakers and the governor decided on their own, with little public debate and no House Judiciary Committee hearing, to divvy up budget authority among the district courts, also passing along new administrative headaches and expense.

The Governor’s Office added insult to the injury with its description of the historic and likely unconstitutional legislation in a media release: “funds the Kansas judiciary and includes items of reform.”

The key word was “and.”

The law tied the extra dollars that the judiciary needed to function properly and avoid furloughs to the measures undercutting the Supreme Court.

Terming the law a “poor trade” in an extraordinary public statement after its signing, the Supreme Court

Pauls finds her way to right party At long last, Rep. Jan Pauls has come out of the closet and declared herself a Republican after so many years serving in the Kansas Legislature as a Democrat.

The only real surprise in her Friday announcement is that it took her so long to come forward with what just about everyone else in her district knew years ago: She’s truly a Republican who has spent much of her political career masquerading as a Democrat.

For a long while, Pauls didn’t have much trouble disguising her true political identity. In those days, however, the political world deployed a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy when it came to party identity.

These days, political parties expect their members to think and act like true party people — or face a primary challenge from someone who can produce better credentials as a conservative or liberal.

During a Friday afternoon news conference, Pauls said her switch was largely because of her beliefs on social issues and that she was tired of the party working against her. During the 2012 election,

Between the lines of the new law is obvious anger at the Supreme Court over how it has ruled in recent years on school funding and other issues.

also said that “it weakens the centralized authority of the Kansas unified court system in exchange for money to pay our employees and keep courts open,” concluding: “We have very serious concerns about what will happen to the administration of justice in Kansas.”

Speaking to The Eagle editorial board more recently, retired Supreme Court Justice Fred Six of Lawrence was even less measured. He called the law “an example of legislative and executive hubris” and “an overreach of both branches into the affairs of the third branch.”

Asked how the law’s constitutionality might be tested — and it should be — Six suggested someone in the judicial system affected by the change might have standing to challenge it. But he agreed that the law puts the state in uncharted waters.

One state in a similarly messy dispute over the separation of powers is New Mexico. Gov. Susana Martinez’s recent veto of a pay increase for the state’s judges prompted a

A�look�back�in�time � 40 Years Ago

Pauls is truly a Republican who has spent much of her political career masquerading as a Democrat.

Pauls was nearly defeated in the primary by an exceedingly weak Democratic challenger, her votes on gay rights and religious liberties legislation taking center stage.

This year, facing a threeway race against Brian E. Davis and Chris Givan, Pauls apparently recognized she couldn’t maintain her Democratic facade much longer.

The Republican Party didn’t waste any time welcoming the newly-outed Pauls into the GOP fold with open arms, eagerly accepting a former Democrat as one of their own.

“Pleased to welcome Rep. Pauls to the Republican Caucus!” the Kansas House GOP Twitter feed read shortly after the announcement. “Longest serving Rep who was left behind by her party.”

Even House Speaker Ray

Merrick and Senate Majority Leader Terry Bruce lined up to welcome proudly their newest party member.

However, based on the GOP’s cannibalistic nature, one wonders how long a former Democrat, even one who often behaved more like a Republican, can survive in the who-can-be-the-most-conservative world of GOP primary politics. Even longtime, solid Republicans struggle to hold their ground in this state once they earn the label of “moderate” and the target that comes with it.

But as of Friday, Pauls is out and proud to be a member of the Republican Party. No more shame, fear or worry that her true nature will be discovered by the electorate.

Yet time will tell if she’ll be accepted by her new friends.

lawsuit by a group of judges and two state lawmakers.

Four members of the state’s Supreme Court have recused themselves, with the fifth planning to seat a temporary panel to rule on the case directly affecting judicial compensation.

In what Six views as another “poke at the judicial branch,” Kansas lawmakers complicated any legal challenge to the new law with an unusual non-severability clause saying that if “any provision of this act is stayed or is held to be invalid or unconstitutional” the whole law would be invalidated — meaning the court’s added funding would evaporate.

Between the lines of the new law is obvious anger at the Supreme Court over how it has ruled in recent years on school funding and other issues. What should deeply concern Kansans is how the Legislature and governor expressed that anger — with a law of questionable constitutionality doubling as payback and a brushback pitch.

On May 28, 1974, Two Iolans shot rare holes-in-one yesterday. Dr. Vernon Lee, Iola dentist, fired one on the number 7 hole at Chanute’s Safari Golf course, while Klein Boyd, Klein Lumber Company owner, shot one at number 9 hole at the Allen County Country Club. Lee’s shot was the first hole-in-one at Safari in three years, the amount of time Lee has been playing golf. Boyd said, “I’ve played golf 40 years and this is the first time I’d even seen a hole-in-one. Lee’s shot was witnessed by his wife, Karen, and Larry and Jean Freeman. Boyd was playing golf with Dr. Henry Bumgardner, Bill Ball and Bill Woodworth.

Richey earns spot on all-star softball team

By SPENCER MICHELSON The Iola Register

Courtney Richey nearly went undefeated as a starting pitcher this past season for the Humboldt Lady Cubs, going 20-1. Her and the team’s only loss on the season came in the semifinals of the Class 3A State Softball Tournament on May 30 to Silver Lake — and that went into the eighth inning. The Lady Cubs finished third in the state tournament this year, but Richey is just a

sophomore and has two more years to play for the Lady Cubs.

“I thought we did great,” Richey said. “I thought I did good. I had more strikeouts this year than I did last year, so I’m pretty proud.”

Richey now has her sights set as a pitcher this summer for the Wichita Mustangs, an under-16 traveling softball team. She will stay in Wellington with her uncle and aunt, Brandon and Jennifer Wilmoth.

Gage Turner avoids the tag and slides into home. REGISTER/SPENCER MICHELSON

LE ROY — Aaron True didn’t have time to stick around to see that he made history Friday.

True, a Southern Coffey County senior, was in the midst of competing in the javelin throw at the Kansas State Track Meet when the call sounded for him to join

his teammates on SCC’s 4x400meter relay race.

To allow for the schedule conflict, organizers allowed True to toss two of his three final round throws back-toback before scurrying from the javelin pit to the race track at Wichita State University Cessna Stadium.

Already in first place by nearly five feet, True uncorked his two best throws of the meet.

The first went 186 feet, 4 inches; the second set a state meet record of 202 feet. True was the new state record holder and gold medalist.

“I think throwing in a hurry like that probably helped him,” said Jeff True, Aaron’s father and high school track coach. “He still had a lot of adrenaline for his second throw.”

This won’t be the only opSee TRUE | Page B3

portunity to throw at the Wichita stadium.

On Monday, True signed a letter of intent to throw the javelin at Wichita State.

At WSU, True will be under the tutelage of head track coach Steve Rainbolt, a decorated javelin thrower in college.

“I really like my coaches,” True said, noting Rainbolt threw the javelin 256 feet when he was in college. “That gives me something to shoot for.”

True had drawn attention from other colleges in the area, but had no problems picking WSU. “That was the only college I visited,” he said.

True also had no qualms opting for track and field instead of basketball, where he was a standout performer at Southern Coffey County.

“I’d have to work a lot harder at basketball,” he joked. “I’ve

always enjoyed playing street ball more, anyway.”

True’s studies will keep him plenty occupied.

An honors student at SCC, True plans to major in mechanical engineering at Wichita State.

His goal is to maintain his spotless gradepoint average. His high school grade-point average was a sparkling 4.043 on a 4-point scale (the extra points came from earning an A in an honors course.)

True is the son of Jeff and LaDonna True of Le Roy.

Richey says her pitching should improve this summer, not only because of the stiff competition she’ll face, but a special pitching coach that the team has access to.

By RAUL DOMINGUEZ The Associated Press

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — LeBron James has it all wrong. Gregg Popovich is a people person.

“I like everybody,” the San Antonio Spurs coach said.

Sideline reporters might disagree, but that’s what Popovich said in response to James’ comments that the Spurs don’t like the Miami Heat.

Immediately after San Antonio beat Oklahoma City in Game 6 of the Western Conference finals to set up the NBA Finals rematch with the Heat that begins Thursday, Tim Duncan said, “We’ve got four more to win. We’ll do it this time.”

The Spurs nearly did it last year, but coughed up a five-point lead in the final half-minute of regulation of Game 6 before losing Game 7. The agony of that loss, San Antonio’s first in five trips to the finals, led James to surmise that the Spurs aren’t very fond of the Heat.

“They don’t like us.

They don’t,” James said

Miami Heat’s LeBron James talk to the media after practice Tuesday at the AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami. HECTOR CABINO/EL NUEVO HERALD/MCT Monday in Miami. “I can sense it from Timmy’s comments over the last couple of days. . They want us, so they got us.”

The Spurs, whose demeanor and remarks are normally as plain as sandwich bread, were a bit taken aback by James’ reaction.

“Knowing Timmy, that’s not trash talking,” San Antonio’s Tony

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Tony Parker plans to play in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

The San Antonio Spurs open their rematch with the Miami Heat on Thursday, and their star point guard is nursing a balky left ankle.

“He’s getting better every day, and I expect him to play,” coach Gregg Popovich said Tuesday.

Parker aggravated the injury Saturday, missing the second half of San Antonio’s seriesclinching victory over Oklahoma City in the Western Conference finals.

Parker didn’t practice Tuesday, but said he expects to be back today.

Parker is averaging a team-leading 17.2 points and 4.9 assists this postseason but has been

Parker said. “I don’t think he meant it like that. But obviously, we are very motivated and we want to get it done. At the same time, we realize we are playing a very good team that went to the final four times in a row and won the last two.”

Spurs guard Manu Ginobili said the comment was taken completely

out of context and “not a big deal at all.” He and Parker both said the Spurs have great respect for what the Heat have accomplished, having never made it to back-toback NBA Finals until this season.

ond in the World Series,” Richey said.

She eventually hopes her skills as a pitcher, and batter, will land her on a Division I college program’s roster, such as the University of Oklahoma or Wichita State.

Until then, Richey said her focus will be on helping her high school team win.

Her goal is simple.

“I want to win a state championship,” Richey said.

Despite coming in third place, Richey and her teammates wanted to do better and know that they were only one

run away from playing for the championship.

Richey gave credit to her teammates with their hold onto the 2-1 victory against Lyons/Chase High School on May 30.

“We did good,” Richey said. “The defense did great.”

Piley hopes that his entire team improves this summer.

“Everyone can always improve on everything,” Piley said. “I think our batting and defense will improve, that’s what you hope happens. With the coaches (Richey) will work with, she will definitely improve.”

bothered by injuries the past two rounds.

“I always try to be honest with Pop,” Parker said. “He knows, but if I’m 50 percent I’ll try to play. If I’m under 50 percent, we can argue.”

Parker conceded the ankle has bothered him since San Antonio’s second-round series against Portland, although he did not divulge it at the time.

“I don’t like to talk about when I’m hurt,” he said. “I played on it for the whole series against Portland. That’s why I think my hamstring got hurt because I was playing on a bad ankle.”

Parker had tightness in his left hamstring midway through the second quarter of Game 5 against the Trail Blazers, forcing him to miss the rest of the Spurs’ seriesclinching victory.

He did not miss any of the Western Conference finals because of his hamstring. But he aggravated the ankle injury in Game 4 against Oklahoma City.

“I twisted it again, but didn’t say anything,” Parker said. “Played on it, and then Game 6 I think my body is like, ‘That’s enough.’ It’s perfect timing to get five days and to get better and to be ready for Game

1.”

San Antonio was still able to clinch the series without Parker, holding off Oklahoma City for a 112-107 overtime victory to advance to its sixth finals appearance.

Parker said he wanted to return for the second half, but was overruled by Popovich and the team’s medical staff.

“I wanted to play. I wanted to play,” Parker said. “Pop was like, ‘No, we never know for Game 7.’ So I understand where he was coming from, but it was hard to watch from the locker room. At the same time, I was very proud of my teammates.

They stepped up big. It was huge for us because I think those five days (off) are big for us to prepare for the finals.”

Asked whether he would possibly hold Parker out if he was less than 50 percent, Popovich smirked and alluded to the calf injury that was supposed to keep the Thunder’s Serge Ibaka out of the Western Conference finals — but didn’t.

“It’s too early — he’s either 50 percent or out for the rest of the playoffs,” Popovich said.

“One of the two. I had to do it. I’ll never do it again, I promise. We’re done with that joke.”

before closing out Portland in five games and Oklahoma City in six.

“Every time you play a team in the playoffs, you don’t like them,” Ginobili said. “That grows on you. It’s such a challenge, you want to beat them so bad that you start to grow that challenge of you don’t want the opponent to score on me, you don’t want them to do good. You want to do everything you can to limit them. In some ways it’s sort of dislike, but the same happened to me against Dallas and against Portland and against Oklahoma City.

It’s part of what the playoffs are about.”

So any talk of dislike for a particular player or team was met with a glare.

“Are you really going to ask that?” Popovich said. “So somebody will say, ‘I don’t like him’ and the other guy, ‘So and so said they don’t like you.’

‘Well, I don’t like him either.’ Come on, this is silly.”

Royals rally to top Cards The Kansas City Star

The offense looks a little better than it has been. We’ll take that as a plus.

— Royals outfielder Alex Gorden

at times on Tuesday, a rare pose for a pitcher of his pedigree. In 51/3 innings, he surrendered seven runs, dumped his team in an early hole, failed to protect a tworun lead later and lacked his usual command.

“I was just kind of all over the place,” said Shields, who walked four batters and struck out one.

For the Royals, a club fighting to keep their heads above the choppy waters of .500 baseball, Shields’ recent funk only compounds matters. He allowed six runs in his last outing. After Tuesday’s performance, he has now given up 17 runs in his three starts, which translates to a 7.36 ERA. Shields pinpointed “three, crucial bad pitches” that gnawed at him.

The first was a hanging changeup to Kolten Wong in the second inning.

Wong, a 23-year-old second baseman, had not homered in 198 plate appearances.

He launched a grand slam on his 199th try.

The second pitch was a belt-high cutter to shortstop Jhonny Peralta in the fifth. A double rang down the thirdbase line, past a diving Mike Moustakas, to tie the game.

The last mistake might have been the most painful. It was another misplaced cutter. Peter Bourjos, a light-hitting outfielder, cracked a solo homer for St. Louis’ seventh run.

Shields departed soon after, unable to take joy in his useful hitting. He roped an RBI double in the fifth, the first of his career, and finished with two hits. But he still exited in line for a loss.

“The team did good battling back,” Shields said. “The last couple starts, I haven’t been on my game. And the team’s picked me up. It’s been great to see.”

The Royals’ second comeback of the night fomented in the eighth.

.

ST. LOUIS (MCT) — Mike Jirschele trained his eyes into left field, hesitating for the briefest of moments. The Royals had installed him as their third-base coach five days before, and here was his first moment inside the fires of the ninth inning. As Omar Infante headed for third, Jirschele made his decision, wheeling his arm, paving the way for the go-ahead run in Tuesday’s wild, 8-7 victory over the Cardinals.

“We had to take a chance right there,” Jirschele said.

Their options were limited. To weather a combustion by James Shields, manager Ned Yost had unloaded his bullpen, and “we were out of pitching” if the game went into extra innings, he said. Infante scored standing up, the final tally on a road trip that saw the offense come to life and the Royals go 4-2 against a pair of playoff contenders.

The winning RBI belonged to Eric Hosmer, who had spent the previous three weeks with his bat encased in ice. He flicked an opposite-field single off St. Louis closer Trevor Rosenthal to snap the tie. It was his second hit of the evening, as the Royals (28-30) collected their second-consecutive victory over their crossstate rivals.

“We just finally got some timely hitting,” Hosmer said. “(The offense) looks a little better than it has been,” said Alex Gordon, who launched a threerun homer in a six-run flurry in the fifth. “We’ll take that as a plus.”

The team weathered a series of haymakers from the defending National League champs, and survived despite an alarming effort from their best starter. A trio of singles — including an infield hit by Billy Butler and an RBI bloop by Alcides Escobar — tied the game in the eighth.

The late-game flurry removed some responsibility of the shoulders of James Shields, who has been quite ineffective in the past two weeks.

Caught in a threestart spiral, Shields resembled a defeated man

After a one-out single

by Salvador Perez, an unlikely chain of events occurred. Called in to pinch hit, Billy Butler chopped a grounder deep to Wong’s left, which was recorded an infield single. Yost inserted pitcher Jeremy Guthrie to pinch-run for Butler.

So Guthrie had an excellent view of Alcides Escobar’s moment. He had already provided an RBI double to spark the fifth-inning scoring. This time he floated a single over Wong’s head, a difficult prospect against side-arming reliever Pat Neshek, who entered the game with a 0.73 ERA. An extra-innings affair portended doom for the Royals. Yost had few choices left. Thus a oneout double by Infante thrilled him. When Hosmer sprayed his single to left, Yost never doubted Jirschele would choose the aggressive path.

When it was over, as a small pack of reporters crowded around his office, Yost took a moment to exhale.

“That was a tough one, man,” Yost said. “That was a tough one. That was one of those grinder games, where you’re grinding right from the get-go.”

And his team, he said, “they grinded their way right to a win. So it was a great one all the way around.”

Daughter smoking, parents butt out Dear Carolyn:

My husband and I are very anti-smoking. Both of his parents died before age 65 due to health complications related to smoking. My mom (a smoker for decades) has reached her 70s, but with a severely diminished quality of life.

We were, therefore, deeply disturbed when our daughter, a junior in college, came home with a suitcase that reeked of cigarettes. We asked her about it, and after the typical deflective responses (“Why were you smelling my stuff ?!?!” “You’re always invading my privacy!”), she admitted that, yes, she “and a few friends” smoke sometimes.

We are unbelievably frustrated here. This is a topic we’ve been discussing since she was a little girl in the context of her sick grandparents — a direct one-toone correlation that seemed to resonate with

Tell Me About It Carolyn Hax her. This is one thing we did not think we would have to worry about.

She is a legal adult, and we have no idea what we can do, other than to keep nagging her about the dangers. But we only see her when she comes home, which, as she reminded us, she “chooses” to do but may not always. What else can we do here?

— Maryland Nothing. You won’t accomplish anything by getting involved except to drive your daughter away; her defensiveness told you all you need to know about that. And since your whole issue with her smoking is that you’re afraid of losing her, there’s just too

much irony in driving her out of your lives by harping on her choice.

A choice, mind you, that she made after your “discussing [it] since she was a little girl.”

There’s little chance this is a coincidence. If she wanted to put some distance between her own identity and yours, then she couldn’t have settled on a better wedge, could she?

So, looking at it that way, the best thing you can do is not fuss over the cigs, but instead go the counterintuitive route of giving her your blessing to be herself.

Say you love her, say you of course will worry when she makes harmful choices, say you will nevertheless keep loving her and supporting her right to make her own choices — however she needs you to. Butting out included. Shock the heck out of her.

She’ll believe you only when you stick to that

promise at a time she knows you’re resoundingly unthrilled with her choices. And when she does believe you, her grounds for rebelling against you turn to sand.

Re: Smoking: I recently quit after smoking for 10 years.

Every smoker knows smoking is bad for you, and your hounding will make her want a cigarette. Your disappointed looks will make her want a cigarette. Your snide comments will make her want a cigarette.

My sister recently noted our road trip would go much faster now that we didn’t have to stop for smoke breaks.

It made me want a cigarette (didn’t have one).

There is absolutely nothing you can do to get her to quit. Nothing. When she’s ready to stop, she will and you can support her then. Otherwise, never mention it to her again. Seriously.

Sharapova rallies again to reach French Open semis PARIS (AP) — Maria Sharapova needed a set to get going, and once she got going, she couldn’t be stopped.

The seventh-seeded Russian advanced to the semifinals of the French O p e n for the fourth s t r a i g h t Maria year, ral- Sharapova lying to beat Garbine Muguruza of Spain 1-6, 7-5, 6-1 Tuesday.

It’s the second straight match in which Sharapova lost the first set but completely controlled the third. Against Muguruza, Sharapova won nine of the last 10 games. In the previous round against Samantha Stosur, she won the last nine.

“When you just don’t feel like anything is going your way, you want to try to find a little door to get into,” Sharapova said. “It’s always that little part that’s the toughest.”

Sharapova lost in the semifinals at Roland Garros in 2011, then won the title a year later to complete a career Grand Slam. She lost in last year’s final to Serena Williams.

“It was so tough los-

ing in the final last year, being the defending champion,” Sharapova said. “This year, to come back, I have the extra motivation to go further, and to be back on (this) stage is a really nice feeling.”

Sharapova will face

Eugenie Bouchard in the semifinals. The 18thseeded Canadian beat Carla Suarez Navarro of Spain 7-6 (4), 2-6, 7-5.

Bouchard is playing in only her fifth Grand Slam tournament, but she is already into her second major semifinal.
