County approves option for housing units

By RICK DANLEY The Iola Register

The news Tuesday was good for proponents of the grocery store and residential complex expected to occupy the grounds of the old Allen County Hospital.

After lengthy consideration of the proposal last

week, county commissioners unanimously agreed to grant a 24-month option to Iola Industries for the portion of the hospital grounds surrounding the site of the eventual G & W Foods.

The price for the property is listed at $20,000, half of which is to be paid up front, half when the option is ex-

ecuted.

Iola Industries intends to use the land for the construction of market-rate apartments and duplexes. According to a letter presented to the commission last week by Iola Industries president John McRae — details of which were articulated in full in last week’s Register — the group

is in the “advanced stage” of a discussion with housing developer Tom Carlson.

The first phase of construction, which could begin as early as this spring, will likely result in 20 two-bedroom units with prime access to the new grocery store. Additional apartments and a series of duplexes are expected to fol-

GOP picks up wins in state elections

By CHRISTINA CASSIDY The Associated Press

Kentucky voters on Tuesday elected just the second Republican in four decades to hold the governor’s office, in a race that hinged largely on President Barack Obama’s signature legislation, the Affordable Care Act.

The result was a potentially troubling sign for Democrats ahead of next year’s presidential election and represented a big win for the GOP as it continues to consolidate political power across the South. Democrats also were thumped in Virginia, See GOP | Page A4

USD 257 strategic planning takes shape

By BOB JOHNSON The Iola Register

About 50 USD 257 patrons, with a sprinkling of school staff, fleshed out five focus areas within a fledgling strategic plan for the district.

“Today is a most important part of the process,” Bart Swartz said at the beginning of Tuesday’s five-hour session. Think in terms of “three to five years. You won’t accomplish anything if you want it all ‘right now,’” he said.

Swartz is director of ad-

ministrative services and leadership programs for Greenbush, the Southeast Kansas Education Service Center.

Participants were asked “to chart a course for the future,” added Steve Parsons, another of the facilitators and former superintendent of schools in Humboldt and Chanute.

Focus areas: — Recruitment, retention and rewarding of staff.

— Facilities, new or improved.

— Student attitude, pride

— Having students college and/or career ready.

— School, parent and community partnerships.

KS Medicaid expansion supporters look at Indiana model

By ANDY MARSO Kansas Health Institute

Supporters of expanding Medicaid in Kansas hope the story of how the conservative governor of another “red state” found a way to move forward will motivate Gov. Sam Brownback and Republican legislative leaders to do the same here.

They invited a delegation of hospital officials from Indiana to come and talk about how they worked with Republican Gov. Mike Pence and large GOP majorities in the Indiana Legislature to pass a conservative plan that expanded health coverage to more than 350,000 low-income residents of the Hoosier state but required them to share in the costs.

“There is no more fervent anti-Obamacare person than Governor Pence,” Doug Leonard, president of the Indiana Hospital Association, said Tuesday at a Wichita forum.

Even so, Leonard said, Pence pushed an expansion plan through the Legislature but did it “the way he thought was right for Indiana.”

Looking back, Georgiana Reynal, director of advocacy and government relations for Indiana’s St. Vincent health system, said, “We heard a million times (from Pence): ‘I’m not interested in expanding Medicaid the way it is; it’s a broken system. But I’m interested in expanding the Indiana way.’”

The plan that Pence crafted, which federal officials approved in January, uses Medicaid dollars to purchase high-deductible health insurance plans for adults making up to 100 percent of the federal poverty level, annually $11,770 for individuals and $24,250 for a family of four.

The state then contributes money to a Personal Wellness and Responsibility, or POWER, account that beneficiaries can use to cover outof-pocket costs. Unlike traditional Medicaid recipients, Indiana beneficiaries must pay a portion of their premiums.

Brownback and large conservative Republican majorities in the Kansas House and Senate have staunchly resisted expansion for the past three years. But struggling rural hospitals and the story of how Indiana found a way forward on the issue spurred a panel of legislators to talk Tuesday about what it might take for Kansas to pass its own alternative plan.

Senate Vice President Jeff King, a Republican whose southeast Kansas district saw a key hospital close this year, said it’s time for a serious discussion about the specifics of a Kansas plan.

“Saying ‘no’ to everything has to stop being a viable political option because there are real lives that are being affected,” King said.

‘Who’s who of Kansas health care’

King was one of four legislators who participated on a panel at the forum sponsored by a coalition of 14 Medicaid expansion supporters that included hospitals and health foundations.

A crowd gathered early in the lobby of the Kansas Leadership

Center before filing into the auditorium and filling every chair. The audience included legislators, advocates for people with disabilities and health organization lobbyists.

“This is a who’s who of Kansas health care,” said Ira Stamm, a Topeka psychologist and mental health advocate.

After the Indiana officials made a presentation, King said he was impressed with that state’s expansion plan.

He said a Kansas plan would have to include similar cost-sharing elements to have a chance of passing.

In addition, King said the Kansas budget crisis means an expansion plan could pass only if it did not require money from the state general fund — something the Indiana officials said they were also able to accomplish.

Rep. Dan Hawkins, a Wichita Republican who chairs the House Health and Human Services Committee, said legislators should work within Brownback’s Medicaid expansion guidelines.

Those include eliminating waiting lists for home and communitybased support services for Kansans with disabilities.

“That waiting list needs to be taken care of before he moves on,” Hawkins said.

Guidelines as barriers?

During a questionand-answer session, Joe O’Rourke, president and CEO of New Beginnings Enterprise in Neodesha, asked if Brownback’s guidelines, which would substantially increase the cost of expansion, were meant to preempt discussion of the issue.

Hawkins said he believed the governor was sincere in his belief that the state should use its “limited resources” to serve those with disabilities before “ablebodied” Kansans.

But after the event O’Rourke did not seem convinced.

“Some of the things he’s asking for — they’ve been trying to deal with the waiting lists for years,” said O’Rourke, whose organization serves Kansans with developmental disabilities. “It’s just barriers.

It’s just barriers he’s set up to make sure it will never be achieved.”

John Monroe, a constituent services representative for Brown-

— Kansas Sen. Jeff King, R-Independence

back, attended the event.

Asked afterward whether he could name any disability advocacy groups that support elimination of the waiting lists as a condition of expansion, Monroe said, “I’m not sure. I can’t speak to that.”

Tim Wood, who formerly ran a campaign dedicated to eliminating the lists for the Disability Rights Center, said no disability groups had adopted that position.

“Never,” Wood said.

“No one has ever said that.”

Wood said the Kansas Hospital Association was right in saying that the support services covered under the Medicaid waivers are different than the medical coverage provided by expansion. He also said that the 150,000 Kansans who would gain medical coverage through Medicaid expansion would not be all “able-bodied” individuals. Some would be Kansans with disabilities who weren’t previously eligible for Medicaid.

Rural hospital concerns

Rep. Susan Concannon, a Republican from Beloit who attended the discussion as an audience member, said she believes the Kansas Hospital Association could put forth a plan that would satisfy all the conditions voiced Tuesday except for the waiting list elimination.

However, Sen. Michael O’Donnell, a Republican from Wichita who sat on the panel, said many legislators from rural areas

are worried about their hospitals closing. But he said they also are concerned about expending political capital voting for Medicaid expansion only to see hospitals close for other reasons.

Rep. Jim Ward, the panel’s lone Democrat, said no plan could guarantee that there would be no future hospital closings.

He also said his party would be open to adopting a red state model for expansion.

“I believe anything that expands access to affordable health insurance would be supported by the Democratic caucus,” Ward said.

King said he’s ready to start discussing the nitty-gritty policy pieces. But he said unlike last year, expansion advocates need to propose a detailed plan.

“I don’t think this is something we can discuss entirely in the abstract,” he said.

Tom Bell, president and CEO of the Kansas Hospital Association, said such a plan is forthcoming.

“What you’re going to see this year is something a little more specific,” Bell said. “I agree with Senator King. We need to have a plan that folks can react to knowing that if something moves, where we end up is not going to be where we started.”

Financial Focus Get Your Affairs in Order for an Orderly Estate You may be quite willing to plan an investment strategy for your retirement years. After all, it can be enjoyable to think about traveling the world, pursuing your hobbies or participating in any of the activities you’ve associated with an active retirement.

However, once you do retire, you’ll need to “shift gears” somewhat to focus on your legacy.

Specifically, to protect your loved ones and ensure your intentions are clear and carried out, you’ll need to do some more planning – and you’ll need to share your thoughts with your family.

Here are some moves to consider: • List your assets and debts. Your family needs to be aware of your assets and debts, so share this information with them while you are alive and well.

• Create a durable power of attorney. Give a trusted friend or family member a durable power of attorney to pay bills and make financial choices on your behalf if you are unable to do so.

• Choose an executor. An executor is the person or entity you name in your will to carry out your wishes. An executor has a variety of responsibilities, so pick someone who is honest and capable of dealing with legal and financial matters. Talk with an attorney about how best to name your executor.

• Update your will. You might have written a will many years ago, but, over time, many aspects of your life may have changed. Review your will with your attorney to ensure it reflects your current wishes.

• Review benefits of a living trust. A simple will may not be enough to accommodate your estateplanning needs. You might want to consider establishing a living trust, which provides you with significant flexibility in distributing your assets and can help you avoid the time-consuming, expensive and public process of probate. To create a trust or other estate-planning documents, you will need to work with a qualified legal professional.

• Review your beneficiary designations. The beneficiary designations on your financial accounts (401(k), IRA, etc.) and your insurance policies can even supersede the directions on your will, so it’s essential that you update these designations to reflect events such as divorce and remarriage. And make sure your beneficiaries have the facts they need to claim their benefits.

• Share location of your legal documents. Your loved ones should know where you keep documents such as your birth certificate, will and living trust. If you keep these items in a safe deposit box, tell your family where you keep the key.

• Encourage two-way communication. It’s obviously necessary to communicate your final wishes to your family members – but listen to their wishes and concerns, too. For example, ask your children to agree on who gets those objects of special concern to them, such as furniture, mementos and heirlooms.

As you can see, you’ll need to take several steps to fulfill your intentions – and the above list is certainly not exhaustive. So plan carefully, engage the appropriate team – financial advisor, attorney, tax professional – and put your plans in motion. By being proactive, you can greatly ease the burden on your loved ones in the future.

dozens of the little critters fluttering about.

Nemecek provided information about the lady beetles, and how homeowners can protect their interiors.

Among the highlights: The large and colorful ladybugs are easily identified by the large, black “W” on the thorax behind the head.

The background coloration of the wings varies greatly, from yellowish to pale orange to bright red, depending on the type of food consumed in the larval stage.

Spots vary in number and intensity, and typically are genetically determined.

While lady beetles are generally recognized as beneficial insects for their ability to consume large numbers of garden pests

such as aphids, the Asian lady beetle is another story.

That’s because this particular species has displaced many less competitive native lady beetles from particular habitats. It has since reached the point that it poses a threat to the biodiversity in some ecosystems.

The Asian lady beetle also causes problems in fruit crops such as pears and peaches because of its habit of nibbling on ripe fruit. When abundant in vineyards, it can affect the flavor in certain types of wine production.

But for Kansans, the biggest source of irritation is how the beetles try to make it indoors as the weather cools.

As the days shorten, the lady bugs tend to gather in clusters and seek to enter protected

PREVENTION

The best means of preventing infestations is to keep the pests outside, Nemecek noted.

Homeowners should seal all gaps around windows, door frames, eaves and soffits with caulk, silicone or other suitable compounds.

Pesticide barrier sprays applied along cracks and other points of entry can help, but only if done by a certified applicator.

Removing the lady bugs is best done with a broom and dust pan, or with a vacuum cleaner.

The vacuuming process will kill almost all of the lady beetles, so homeowners needn’t worry about the insects crawling back out.

Removal is best accomplished in cool weather, such as evenings, when the beetles are unable to fly.

sites for overwintering, such as barns, sheds and houses.

The beetles are most active on warm fall or winter days, such as what eastern Kansas has experienced this week.

They tend to be attracted to pale-colored or white buildings with good exposure to sunlight.

Not only can large numbers of the Asian lady beetles create an offensive smell and foul living quarters, they can cause allergic reactions in some people and have been known to nip the human skin with their mandibles.

apartments in town. The nice apartments in town now pretty much get filled up.�

Unlike his colleagues on the commission, who were favorably disposed toward the option from the start, Jim Talkington was cautious in his assent up to the last. “I have no desire to stall this project. I’m just trying to look at what’s best for the county assets, keeping it as transparent as possible and giving anybody an opportunity to do what they can at any time during this process.�

Talkington’s concerns were mollified some by Weber, who reminded him that the option “doesn’t take effect until we have a published notice and have a hearing.

[At that point,] if some-

one comes in with a hell of a lot better deal and you want to take it, you can take it.�

Anyone with comments on or objections to the sale is invited to appear before the commission at 9:30 a.m. Dec. 1.

Commissioners Jerry Daniels and Tom Williams, meanwhile, reaffirmed their commitment to the option. “I’m ready to move forward,� said Williams. “I think it’s good for the county, it’s good for the city, it’s good for everybody. And I think it will be good for the grocery store. I have to assume that’s one of the reasons they’re looking at coming to this area.�

Plans for the grocery store received another boost when Weber, after consultation with

the city’s zoning chief, informed the commissioners that the ground where the new grocery store will be positioned is already appropriately zoned for commercial use. “The bottom line here is that zoning is good for the grocery.

This will not be an impediment to [G & W].�

The area intended for apartments, however, will have to be rezoned to meet specific residential standards. But, Weber explained, that process is relatively uncomplicated and, if the proper paperwork is in order, can be completed in as little as 60 days.

to be a cost-effective way over the past decade of dealing with offenders convicted of drug possession for the first or second time. He also said the program could be expanded to include offenders who sell small amounts of illegal drugs or those who steal to support drug habits.

Schultz told the Joint Committee on Corrections and Juvenile Justice Oversight that reducing spending on treatment could put dozens of additional drug offenders in prison, where housing them would prove more expensive.

The committee is reviewing ideas for dealing with the state’s full prisons and rising inmate population, including a $27 million

expansion of the state’s maximum-security prison outside El Dorado.

The committee’s meeting came only days before state officials and university economists were to meet to revise projections for state revenues through June 2017.

Schultz acknowledged that he’s worried about maintaining the nearly $6.6 million a year dedicated to treating firstand second-time drug offenders and diverting them from prison. The commission reviews sentencing policies and monitors the state’s prison population. “I think we all know that there’s a storm brewing on the horizon,�

Schultz told reporters during a break in the committee’s meeting.

after the Republicandominated Legislature slashed personal income taxes in 2012 and 2013 at GOP Gov. Sam Brownback’s urging in an effort to stimulate the economy. The state raised sales and cigarette taxes in July, and a soft national economy and low oil and natural gas prices have depressed state revenues in recent months.

Budget Director Shawn Sullivan has said the governor and his aides will work on budget-balancing initiatives immediately after the new forecast is issued. As for details, Brownback spokeswoman Eileen Hawley said, “No firm decisions have been made.�

Legislators revised drug sentencing laws in 2003 to divert non-violent offenders to treatment, in part to control the growth in the state’s prison population.

Retirement in Reverse: Better read this if you are 62 or older and still making mortgage payments.

More than 1 million seniors have taken advantage of this “retirement secret.�

Americans are living longer.

Home values are up. And for many senior citizens, their home is their single biggest asset, often accounting for more than 50% of their net worth.

With the cost of basic necessities such as food on the rise, it’s no wonder why more and more seniors are using HECM reverse mortgages to turn their home equity into extra cash for retirement.

However, there are still millions of homeowners who could benefit from this FHA-insured loan but may simply not be aware of this “retirement secret,� notes Former U.S. Senator Fred Thompson. “You know, some people have told me that reverse mortgages sound too good to be true. You get cash out of your home, no monthly payments, and you still own your home,� says Senator Thompson.

NO MONTHLY MORTGAGE PAYMENTS?* EXTRA CASH? It’s true, no monthly mortgage payments are required with a reverse mortgage; the homeowners only have to pay for maintenance, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and, if required, their HOA fees.

In fact, reverse mortgages took ,Q 3UHVLGHQW when 5HDJDQ VLJQHG WKH hold president Ronald )+$ 5HYHUVH 0RUW JDJH ELOO LQWR ODZ Reagan signed the FHA mortgage bill into law over 25 years ago to help senior citizens remain in their homes. “They’re simply an effective way for folks 62 and older to get

the cash they need to enjoy their retirement,� notes Thompson.

Although today’s HECM reverse mortgages have been greatly improved to provide greater protection for homeowners, there are still a lot of misconceptions. For example, many people mistakenly believe the home must be paid off in full in order to qualify for a reverse mortgage, which is not the case. One key benefit of a reverse mortgage is that it automatically pays off your existing mortgage, which frees up cash flow, a huge blessing for those on a fixed income.

Unfortunately, many homeowners who could benefit from a reverse mortgage don’t even bother to get more information due to rumors they’ve heard. That’s a shame because reverse mortgages are helping many seniors live a better life.

A recent survey by American Advisors Group (AAG), the nation’s number one reverse mortgage lender, found that 96% of their clients were satisfied with their reverse mortgages.

If you’re a homeowner age 62 or older, you owe it to yourself to learn more. You may be pleasantly surprised by what you discover.

Opinion A5 The Iola Register

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Save the lecture, give us the cash Sometimes, you just want the money.

It’s all the vogue these days for wealthy donors to give large sums in efforts to improve the education of our youth.

Trouble is, the strings attached are enough to strangle the giant Gulliver.

Mark Zuckerberg, Bill and Melinda Gates, the Walmart Foundation, are just a few (corporations are people, too, you know) who have gone beyond generous to improve K-12 education. Some purport charter schools as the answer while others tout enhanced curriculums.

Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, and his wife, Priscella Chan, a pediatrician, are planning a school in the San Francisco area geared toward low-income students that also provides free health care and an onsite clinic.

This is the second experimental school the young couple have founded. Their first was a school where students were enrolled not by age, but by ability.

NOT

TO

DIMINISH

the importance of inspiring curriculums, but in Kansas, specifically Iola, Kansas, we could do with some cold, hard cash to put toward crumbling infrastructure.

This year, for instance, it rained on the first day of school. At Lincoln Elementary, students found buckets spread around classrooms to catch the drips.

In his farewell piece in the New York Times, longtime columnist Joe Nocera, who’s written extensively on education, noted that broken down buildings do send the powerful, and tragic, message to students that society doesn’t put a priority on their education.

A well-kept facility, on the other hand, boosts morale

not only among students, but also teachers and administrators.

In all likelihood, Iola will not see a new school for many years. With the overwhelming defeat of the 2014 bond issue, we also lost our chance for significant state funding to go toward construction of a new school and retirement of the bonds.

At the time of the election we could expect a 51 percent state match. If a school bond issue were passed today the state’s contribution — which is figured by a district’s relative wealth — would be 36 percent.

On that specific bond issue, the 51 percent match would have equated to $41 million of which $25 million would have gone toward construction and $16 million applied to the bonds.

Under today’s formula, we would receive almost $29 million for the same package; a difference of about $12 million.

For local taxpayers who thought the tax burden would have been too great to support new schools in 2014, the prospect for their support becomes an even greater challenge.

Meanwhile, the needs of the district’s aging buildings continue to outpace resources.

“We’re not meeting our needs now, much less hope to have funds for a rainy day,” said Jack Koehn, USD 257 superintendent of schools.

An ongoing fear? That more than one school’s heating and cooling system — all past their expiration dates — calls it quits at the same time.

Their modus operandi?

Deferred maintenance.

For our kids, that translates to a diminished educational experience.

Letter to the editor Dear editor,

I thought I had made monumental contributions as a USAF master sergeant with over 21 years of honorable service upon my February 1978 retirement.

I received the normal good luck messages from the Out Processing Center, fellow unit members and friends.

I grew up in upstate New York prior to my USAF enlistment and ended up back in the area 13 months before my retirement. I spent the next eight months in Maine, got married, and

then left for a job in Kansas.

The point I am trying to make is that I had not been thanked for my service until I had arrived in Iola. That did not happen just once but several times as I opened up business accounts and met my neighbors. I felt I received more cordial treatment from the Iola community than I did where I grew up. I am proud now to be a part of that community.

Dave Mathewson, MSgt USAF Retired, Iola, Kan.

Bush banking on new slogan ‘Jeb can fix it’

By KATHLEEN RONAYNE Associated Press

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Jeb Bush sought to revive a sagging campaign for president in New Hampshire on Tuesday, committing anew to a state with deep ties to his family. He’ll start from a position of weakness that some family loyalists say is of his own making.

Eager to distinguish himself from his family legacy at the outset of his 2016 bid, Bush failed to tap the support of many longtime friends in the state. Many in the old Bush network now say they’ve picked another candidate to support or are staying out of the primary process altogether.

“Folks who had historically been with his father and his brother and were looking to maybe participate in his campaign were basically ignored,” said former Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H., who endorsed Bush last week and is now a top backer of his campaign.

“A lot of those people moved on,” Gregg said.

Even now, as Bush returns to New Hampshire for a threeday swing on his “Jeb Can Fix It” tour and shifts staff up from his Miami headquarters, some prominent Bush family supporters say the campaign still hasn’t contacted them.

John Stabile, a four-time state Republican Party chairman who served as finance chairman for George H.W. Bush’s presidential bids, said he’s not alone among Bush advocates who expected to get a call from Jeb Bush — and have not.

“It’s been mind-boggling to me that the people we worked with for a long time never heard from anybody,” said Stabile, who’s unsure if he’ll endorse any candidate this time around.

Having started the 2016 campaign as the GOP’s early front-runner, Bush has tumbled in preference polls as voters flock to political outsiders such as Donald Trump and Ben Carson.

“I do not know any people who are strong supporters of the governor,” said Bruce Perlo, chairman of the Grafton County GOP, referring to Bush. “Maybe he’s got bad advisers, maybe he doesn’t understand the national scene, maybe he doesn’t understand New Hampshire. I don’t know — there’s something that’s not gelling for him.”

AFTER A LACKLUSTER

performance in the last GOP debate, Bush shook up his campaign and refocused on New Hampshire. Aides have said this week’s bus tour will be the first of long-stretches of time in the state, where Bush plans to keep hold-

REI bucks Black Friday trend Get out.

That’s the message from outdoor retailer REI, whose CEO recently announced that the company’s 143 stores will be closed the day after Thanksgiving.

In a bold reversal of retail trends, REI is giving its 12,000 employees a paid holiday and even orders placed online won’t be processed until Saturday. It is encouraging employees and customers to enjoy outdoor activities on Black Friday, whether they need the hand warmers, hiking socks and

other gear that REI sells or not.

It is a welcome change from the high-pressure sales tactics that encourage consumers to abandon family and leftovers and head for the mall — earlier and earlier with each passing year.

Some retailers have resisted the push to open on Thanksgiving itself, but REI is the first national chain to shut down for Black Friday.

Nearly 90 million Americans went shopping last year on Black Friday, according to the National Retail Feder-

Wednesday, November 4, 2015

ation, and for some families shopping trips become an extension of the time they spend together over their turkey dinner. They’ll still have plenty of options, even with REI closed.

The chain’s decision may be a risky proposition or a smart strategy. Either way, in an era when Americans increasingly demand 24/7 convenience, it’s refreshing to see a company agree that even people who work in retail should be able to enjoy an occasional paid holiday.

— Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

2016 Republican presidential contender Jeb Bush responds to a light moment at the Conductive Education Center of Orlando during a campaign stop at the special-needs school on Monday in Winter Park, Fla. Joe Burbank/Orlando Sentinel/TNS ing town hall-style meetings while adding more informal “retail” stops where he can chat at length with small groups of voters.

“I do think he’s running a classic New Hampshire campaign, which is exactly what’s going to benefit him the most,” Gregg said.

Rich Killion, Bush’s senior New Hampshire adviser, says the campaign is going after “every vote and everybody,” and will be well-positioned to turn out supporters on Election Day. “That can only be done through New Hampshire shoe leather and hard and disciplined follow-up,” Killion said.

Bush has a dozen paid staff in New Hampshire, more than any other state, and plans to

meeting with Bush, but chose Kasich because they believe it’s time for some “new players on the scene.”

Mark Vincent, chairman of the Hillsborough County GOP, said party activists are worried that nominating Bush would put the party in a weak position to take on Democratic front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton in the general election — and Bush’s lackluster debate performances haven’t helped persuade them otherwise.

“Maybe if Jeb continues to do a lot of appearances and a lot of town halls and what not, maybe that will make people forget the debate a little bit and they’ll give him a second look,” Vincent said.

The day after Bush was overshadowed in the GOP’s

add more. His campaign and an allied super PAC plan to spend at least $28 million on advertising there — almost triple their budget for any other early state, according to data provided by Kantar Media’s CMAG advertising tracker.

Those resources alone haven’t yet won over longtime Bush loyalists, either because they were ignored early — or just think it’s time for someone with a different last name.

Among them are former New Hampshire attorney general Tom Rath, former state lawmakers Doug and Stella Scamman, and former U.S. Senator John E. Sununu, all past Bush-family supporters who are now backing Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

Stella Scamman said the couple did have a personal

third debate, he drew an overflow crowd last week to a town hall in New London. That same day in Portsmouth, a number of voters who saw him said they liked what he had to say.

But Bush strayed little from the message he’s delivered for months, pointing to his record as governor of Florida to show he’s a conservative who can get things done.

Joel Maiola, a top strategist for George W. Bush’s 2000 New Hampshire campaign who has yet to sign on with any candidate in this election, said it’s a message that’s yet to win over many voters.

“You’ve got to be a little creative and step out of the box a little bit,” Maiola said. “He’s got the resume and he’s got the substance, but what’s his closing argument?”

seller’s market with fewer students pursuing education as a career, would be helped by contacting students while in college with letters of encouragement. “We also could look at how others recruit,” and duplicate their efforts, with Thrive Allen County, Iola Industries and Allen County Regional Hospital as sources.

Advertising positives of USD 257 and Iola, as well as the remainder of the area it serves, would be helpful.

Providing “a positive work environment” is important in retention, Linn said, and nothing is more important than the district being competitive with salaries and benefits.

Having a visible administration, on hand to inspire, is a reward teachers appreciate.

Linn said focusing a specific part of the budget on salaries goes a long way. “Also involve the community,” she said.

Ryan Sparks, who has had a hand in developing housing in Iola and keeps his finger on the community pulse in insurance sales, said, “We need steps to improve facilities for kids,” and, while it might be difficult, success would be enhanced by hearing “the community’s voice.

If we could get 1,000 people to give an opinion, it would help” design and pass a bond issue.

Points his group laid out for facilities: — Learn views of residents.

— Acquire land near existing schools.

— Assess facilities, to determine educational as well as physical needs.

— Explore partnerships with Allen Community College and area high schools.

— Propose a bond issue, for new or improved structures, after determining voters’ preference.

— Have plans for displaced buildings ahead of time.

Whatever is done should be an “effort that’s community-driven,” Sparks said.

To ensure students have well-founded and conducive attitudes, pride and responsibility, school uniforms would be a start, said Georgia Masterson, who strives to lift up the poor through Thrive and other programs.

Another approach would be to “set high expectations with consequences and rewards,” she said, with a mentoring program a definite advantage. That could help create and provide role models.

Yet another out-of-thebox type of suggestion was to have community service as a graduation requirement.

Doug Dunlap, a BOE member, said surveying graduates at one-, three- and five-year intervals should give a handle on how to meet students’ needs in preparing them for college and/or careers. Handson instruction would be helpful in career paths, along with close attention to students’ desires.

An innovative thought was mating such things

as welding and math, which often comes into play in construction work, for a practical educational experience. He mentioned looking at developing a consortium with colleges and tech ed centers to better prepare students.

“For a long time test scores were used to define success,” said Swartz.

“Now, we’re looking at a broader view with career education.”

School, parent and community participation would be strengthened by improved communications, said Jennifer Coltrane, a parent. She pointed to a district-wide calendar, to avoid date conflicts among elementary and secondary schools, as

well as taking advantage of the wide range of social and traditional media, newsletters and even a digital sign strategically placed in a hightraffic area.

To involve students with business and industry, job fairs and mock interviews would be of service.

The district also might look into hiring a public communicator.

SWARTZ SAID information put together Tuesday would be compiled, with amplifications, and made available to the board at its Nov. 23 meeting.

Once board accord is reached, the document will be reviewed by a

group of students and then returned to the board for approval.

Similar things being mentioned in several areas may lead to win-

nowing ideas, he said.

The board also will be expected to prioritize to make best use of financial and other resources, Swartz said.

Crest falls 72-44 in first round of playoffs

By JONATHAN CZUPRYN The Iola Register

COLONY — It was a year characterized by its peaks and valleys.

From its opening day 64-14 romp of Pleasanton to its subsequent three-game losing skid to its sudden four-game upswing down the stretch, Crest High School’s football team saw it all during the 2015 campaign.

The Lancers entered Tuesday night’s playoff matchup with Caldwell hoping they could continue to ride their late-season momentum further up the mountain top of success, but instead coach Chuck Mahon’s magical season came crashing down in a 72-44 loss.

“We overcame a lot of adversity,” said Mahon, who wrapped up his second season as Crest’s head coach. “We had some injuries early.”

One injury stood out above the rest. Star running back and linebacker Gage Adams was knocked out of the Marmaton Valley contest and missed Crest’s next two games, which is coincendentally when the Lancers began their freefall early in the year.

But Adams returned in time for the fifth game of the season and the Lancers

The first half was a backand-forth battle between the two schools. First Crest jumped out to a lead off an

In one of the uglier games in the early season, the Red Devils and the Cardinals combined to rack up 68 fouls — 26 belonging to Allen.

Down 51-43 at half, the Red Devils stormed back after the break behind their collective 17-of-34 shooting performance.

Jermaine Long once again led Allen in scoring, finishing the contest with 20 points. Half of his points came from the free-throw line, from which he shot 83.3 percent on the night.

Coach Andy Shaw’s squad had five players, including Long, reach double-digit scoring figures en route to Allen’s victory.

The Red Devils are now 2-0 on the season and return home for their next game on Friday against Oklahoma Wesleyan JV at 7 p.m.

By the end of the half, each team was very much in the game as the Blue Jays led 2822.

But the contest could have looked much differently had Crest not been penalized for holding on two plays that

went for touchdowns. With each of those plays nullified because of the flags, the Lancers went into the locker room with a deficit knowing they’d have to come out with a renewed sense of energy in the second half.

They didn’t.

“We needed to win the first three minutes of the third quarter,” Mahon said. “And we didn’t.”

The Iola Middle School girl’s basketball team hosted Pittsburg for the first game of the regular season on Tuesday afternoon.

The Ponies lost all four games (A and B teams for each the seventh and eighth grade).

The eighth-grade A team lost 50-14.

The seventh-grade A team

lost 40-6.

Jenna Miller, Kaley Schinstock and Andi Reynolds all had two points each. Miller and Lauryn Holloway tied for a team-high six rebounds.

The seventh-grade B team lost 22-12. Schinstock led Iola with four points.

“Not one of these girls had been on the floor for a basketball game so we got the nerves out of the way,” Taylor said.

The Ponies play Fort Scott next on Thursday.

Caldwell added two quick scores to go up 42-22 and the Blue Jays never looked back after that.

Because Caldwell’s offense has been such a dynamic force all season long, Mahon said he knew his team would have to be within one score because if the Blue Jays created any kind of separation, it would be game over.

“We just didn’t have enough,” Mahon said. “Trading (points) with them is alright, but once you’re down two scores to them, it’s kind of tough.”

Crest was outscored 44-22 in the second half despite Adams adding two scores on the ground. Mahon said the key to coming out on top would be preventing Caldwell’s star player, Colten Ward, from having a breakout performance.

Ward ended the day with four touchdowns and helped end Crest’s season.

Crest finished the season at 5-4 and was named the bidistrict runner-up. The Lancers graduate nine seniors, or a little less than half of the squad.

“They’re very tough to replace,” Mahon said.

“Leadership-wise, skillwise, you couldn’t ask for a better bunch of kids ... But I’m looking forward to next year.”

ACC women’s basketball survives NEVADA, Mo. — The Allen Community College women’s basketball team picked up its second win of the season Monday night after defeating Cottey College 65-56.

The Lady Red Devils fought their way out of an early 14-7 deficit behind another balanced offensive attack.

Coach Todd Buchanan’s team finished the night with a total of 18 assists.

Ashley Washington led Allen with 22 points and was lights out from beyond the three-point arc, finishing the night 5-of-7.

She also added five assists. Haley Wilson complemented Washington on the scoring front, racking up 20 points.

Kansas briefs Panel favors pay raises for corrections officers TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A legislative study committee recommends that Kansas legislators hunt for state funds to boost the pay of corrections officers in state prisons.

The proposal Tuesday from the Joint Committee on Corrections and Juvenile Justice Oversight will go to the House and Senate budget committees once the full Legislature reconvenes in January.

The committee made the recommendation after Corrections Secretary

Ray Roberts said turnover at prisons and juvenile correctional facilities is a serious problem.

Roberts said pay is the main issue, with officers at state prisons starting at $13.61 an hour. Each 1 percent increase in pay would cost nearly $1 million a year.

Committee Chairman and Republican state Rep. John Rubin of Shawnee said lawmakers take the money from elsewhere in the budget and suggested trimming aid to public schools.

Regents considering new policy for guns on campus LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — The Kansas Board of Regents is soliciting comments from state universities about a proposal to allow people to have concealed guns on their campuses but not carry the weapons openly.

The Lawrence Journal World reports that a regents committee has drafted a proposed policy and the full board hopes to vote on it in December.

A 2013 state law says adults 21 and older who

can carry concealed guns can bring them into public buildings unless those buildings have security measures such as metal detectors. The law allowed universities to exempt themselves until July 2017.

Under the proposed policy, each university must have a place for people to securely store their weapons. Each campus also must identify the buildings in which concealed weapons won’t be allowed.

4 ex-presidents join Eisenhower Memorial Commission TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The four, living ex-U.S. presidents are all now on a committee working to commemorate President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

The Eisenhower Memorial Commission announced Monday that ex-president Bill Clinton had joined Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush on the commission.

The Topeka CapitalJournal reports former Sen. Bob Dole of Kansas announced in September he would lead a private fundraising campaign to

collect $150 million for a national memorial to Eisenhower on the National Mall in Washington D.C. Congress first approved a national memorial to Eisenhower in 1999. It has been stalled by debates over its design and the Eisenhower’s family opposition to architect Frank Gehry’s design.

Dole and Sen. Pat Roberts say they are determined to get the memorial funded and constructed in the near future.

President Clinton to speak in Pittsburg later this month PITTSBURG, Kan. (AP) — Pittsburg State University says former President Bill Clinton will be speaking at the university later this month.

Pittsburg State President Steve Scott said Tuesday that Bill Clinton is scheduled to speak Nov. 23 at the university as part of

a speaker series. The Pittsburg Morning Sun reports that tickets for the event will go on sale Monday.

Clinton, who served as president from 1993 to 2001, is also scheduled to speak at the University of Kansas the same day when he receives the 2015 Dole Leadership Prize.

Man given jail sentence after knocking out groom at IHOP WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A Wichita man has been sentenced to nearly four years in prison after hitting a just-married groom at an IHOP last August.

A news release from Bennett says Bradwell hit Galaviz-Hernandez after Galaviz-Hernandez had told him to “show some respect� when Bradwell “made a derogatory comment toward� the bride. Galaviz-Hernandez fell and hit his head, knocking him unconscious.

Bradwell was ordered to pay more than $12,600 in restitution as part of 36 months of post-release supervision.

KC: Royals hold victory parade that drew 500,000 fans Continued from B1

Ned Yost and several of the Royals returned the love by telling fans they could not have captured the World Series without their support and calling the turnout for Tuesday’s celebration “unbelievable� and “amazing.�

City officials estimated Tuesday that 500,000 people attended the events. “This is a day like none of us have seen before and we appreciate it from the bottom of our hearts,� Yost said. “What (the team) wanted most was to come to this city to win a championship for you guys.

We celebrate it with you today.�

Left fielder Alex Gordon, who has been with

the team since 2007, recalled years of losing seasons for the Royals. “To see this unfold to this is unbelievable.

We’re the World Series champs and you are the best fans in the world,� he told the crowd.

Gordon, who is not expected to exercise an option on his contract for next season, gave no hint about his possible future with the team.

Johnny Gomes, a midseason acquisition from the Atlanta Braves who didn’t make the playoff roster but was credited with bringing positive energy to the clubhouse, was the most animated of the players, forcing the reluctant relieving corps to take a bow and introducing several players. He also asked

The Kansas City Royals celebrate during the team’s World Series rally on Tuesday at Union Station in Kansas City, Mo. JOHN SLEEZER/KANSAS CITY STAR/TNS for a moment of silence in honor of Edinson Volquez’s father, Chris Young’s father and Mike Moustakas’ mother, all of whom died this year. “It’s unbelievable what those guys did,�

Gomes said, emphatically.

Volquez drew loud applause when he vowed that the Royals would be back on the same stage next season after winning another world championship.

Fans began arriving hours before the festivities and were packed in so tightly that many could not move. Yet the

mood remained mostly jovial, with people waving flags, hats and signs, thrilled for their team’s first World Series win since 1985.

Hall of Famer George Brett told the crowd this year’s team was better than the one he played on in 1985. “These guys are the best team ever, in my opinion, and I’m sure in yours too,� he said.

Several area school districts called off classes for the day and Rachel Bryant, of Kansas City, took advantage and brought her 7-yearold son, Jayden, to the

parade. “It’s been 30 years since the last championship. Who knows if it will be another 30 years?

It might be a one-time experience for him. I hope not; I hope we’re back here next year,� she said.

Steve Templeton, of suburban Lee’s Summit, said the championship brought the city together. “The Royals were a doormat for so long and look at it now, it’s just a sea of blue,� he said. “It’s fun because they are bringing everybody together, every national-

ity, every kind of person is here together because we love the team.�

Downtown was so crowded that some fans who came for the festivities left before they began, realizing they wouldn’t be able to see or hear anything. “It’s a shame because we’re so proud of the team,� said Mary Winston of suburban Overland Park, Kansas, who brought her five children three hours before the rally and left before it began. “But with five children we would have had to be here at 5 a.m. to get a seat.�

The Kansas City Transit Authority said those trying to take public transportation to the events endured waits of one to three hours.

Spokeswoman Cindy Baker said the crowds were “definitely more than we expected,� with a conservative estimate of about 100,000 people being shuttled before the rally, with more after it began.

Police spokesman Tye Grant said traffic was so heavy that some drivers parked along the interstate and walked.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(AP) — The Titans surprised Mike Mularkey by choosing him to replace the friend who brought him to Tennessee. With a third chance to be a head coach in the NFL, Mularkey wants to prove he’s the man for the job.

The interim coach’s

nine-game audition starts Sunday at New Orleans. “I wasn’t sure I’d ever get another one after what happened in Jacksonville, but I'd absolutely like to have that opportunity,� Mularkey said Tuesday.

Mularkey went 2-14 in his lone season in Jacksonville in 2012. He

takes over a 1-6 Tennessee squad that has lost six straight, the longest skid in the NFL, and 16 of its last 17 games.

The Titans fired Ken Whisenhunt on Tuesday morning after a 3-20 tenure and turned to Mularkey, who also coached Buffalo in 2004 and 2005. Being the second NFL team to fire

a head coach gives the Titans a chance to start evaluating candidates, and president Steve Underwood said controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk will pick the next coach. “She obviously wants to get wins out of this team and felt it was the best interest of the team,� Mularkey said.

Chiefs still thinking playoffs KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Just about the only people who thought the Kansas City Chiefs still had a chance to make the playoffs two weeks ago were Tamba Hali and the rest of the guys in his locker room.

They had lost five straight games. They’d dropped both of their games at Arrowhead Stadium in last-minute fashion. They had just one win more than a third of the way through the season.

Now, their chances of reaching the playoffs have increased 10-fold.

After a dominating victory over Pittsburgh, the Chiefs soundly beat the Detroit Lions in their first game in London on Sunday, giving them a two-game win streak heading into their bye week.

“The guys are coming out, they’re more energetic. We’re focused on the mission,” said Hali, their veteran linebacker. “We want to get something done, something special. And we know if we played good defense and tried to take the ball away, we would get a chance to win games.”

The only team since 1933 to start 1-5 and make the playoffs were the 1970s Bengals, which means the odds of accomplishing that feat are about 0.5 percent, STATS said. But of the 280 teams that have started 3-5 over the same time frame, 15 of them have rallied to make the playoffs.

That’s just over 5 percent — still long odds, but a whole lot better.

“I feel like the confidence has always been there. It’s just going out there and doing it” said tight end Travis Kelce. “Obviously, we have had some mixed pieces in the offensive line, at wide out. In the beginning we had some guys banged up. But no excuses to that. The teams we played definitely came to play and kudos to them. But at the same time, we have a confidence in that locker room.”

They had it when they had just one victory. They certainly have it after Sunday.

Kansas City scored six touchdowns in a 45-10 rout of the Lions after scoring five the previous four games.

The Chiefs’ point total matched the record for games played in London, set when the New England Patriots beat the St. Louis Rams 45-7 on Oct. 28, 2012.

Despite losing star running back Jamaal Charles to a seasonending knee injury, the Chiefs got four touchdowns rushing from four different players, including quarterback Alex Smith. The last time the Chiefs accomplished that feat was Oct. 2, 1960, when the team was known as the Dallas Texans and lost to the New York Titans in the AFL’s inaugural season.

Not bad for a team that managed just seven field goals in a loss to Cincinnati a few weeks back, and that went seven consecutive trips into the redzone without crossing the goal line.

“We needed it,” Smith said. “I felt like we put halves together like that, we just haven’t done it for four

It wasn’t just on offense where the Chiefs suddenly came alive.

Their defense sacked Lions quarterback Matt Stafford six times, improving to 7-0 under Andy Reid when they have that many sacks in a game. They also picked off Stafford twice, and they held Detroit to 2 for 12 on third-down conversions in a dominant performance.

“I don’t know,” Hali replied, when asked what changed on Sun-

day. “I don’t know if we played as a team. Lately, we’ve been playing as a team on all three phases.”

Even on special teams, where Cairo Santos knocked through another field-goal Sunday, Knile Davis kept giving the Chiefs solid field position on kickoff returns, and De’Anthony Thomas — who had one of those four TD runs — had a couple of electrifying punt returns.

In short, it was the kind of all-around performance the Chiefs ex-

pected in training camp, when they had playoff aspirations. And the kind they’ll need going forward if they’re going to beat those long odds and squeak into the postseason anyway.

“The players have upped it,” Reid said.

“Not that you’re not going to get beat every once in a while, that happens in his league. We’re playing against good players. Best in the world, right? So, they keep battling. They’re not letting things get them down at all.”
