IMS band outgrows bandstand By BOB JOHNSON The Iola Register

Surging enthusiasm for instrumental music at Iola Middle School has caused the school’s band to outgrow the bandstand on the courthouse lawn. Jack Stanley, IMS principal, told county commissioners Tuesday the school would like to have its annual spring outdoor concert on the east side of the courthouse square, to accommodate 100 seventhand eighth-grade members. Commissioners gave their blessing. Next year’s band promises to be even larger, with 50 sixth graders involved this year. “We’ll probably have 115 in the band then,” he said. Those who attend the concert are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blanSee BAND | Page A6

Davis: Kansas can do better By SUSAN LYNN The Iola Register

PITTSBURG — At some point Kansas legislators will need to reconcile the state budget. The state is on track to end the fiscal year with $250 million, down from $500 million forlas year. For 2016, the ending balance is projected to be zero. Five years from now, $490 million in cuts will be necessary to end the year with a zero balance. For State Rep. Paul Davis, D-Lawrence, and presumptive

gubernatorial candidate, the answer to saving a sinking budget is to stop the massive tax breaks and take advantage of existing federal programs, such as expanding Medicaid. Davis, 41, was in Pittsburg Tuesday to address its Rotary club and then meet with Randy Casen, chief executive officer of Mt. Carmel Regional Medical Center. Between meetings he met with this Register reporter. UNLESS the Kansas economy “takes off,” the state budget is on a trajectory to tank, Davis said.

“The income tax comprises 42 percent of the state general fund,” he said. In addition to cutting programs and services, the state has diverted $1 billion from the state’s transportation fund. In 2010, Davis was instrumental in passing the $8.28 billion 10-year transportation bill. “That alone was projected to create 175,000 new jobs,” he said. “Now, the program is getting deeper in debt and projects are being stalled.” Davis said Gov. Sam BrownSee DAVIS | Page A6

Sunday afternoon started out like any other day for Jeff Ashford and his wife and daughter. Ashford, who grew up in Iola and now lives in Shawnee, took his wife and daughter to the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City for a talent show. Little did the family know a shooting would take place at the building. “We got there in the front and I dropped my wife and daughter off,” Ashford said. “I went to park the car and then we were ushered into a room.” Ashford said they were held in the room for about an hour and a half and the group was told that there had been a shooting but they didn’t know any details.

Group brings Iola memories to square By KAYLA BANZET The Iola Register

Taking a walk down memory lane has become much easier on the Iola square. Attached to each light post is a metal sign with photos and information about that particular spot in Iola. Members of the Community Involvement Task Force and Pride conducted the year-long project. “Our mission statement is to beautify the town and get

people interested in the community,” Donna Houser said. A grant helped fund the project. A group of seven — Kara Godfrey, Shelia Lampe, Jim Smith, Houser, Mike and Nancy Ford and Judy Brigham — selected photos and information for the signs. “As you walk down the street the photo matches that area,” Houser said.

Quote of the day Vol. 116, No. 120

An iron bridge over Owl Creek two miles west of Humboldt is 103 years old and may live on, even though it will be replaced this summer. Allen County commissioners gave salvage rights to Thrive Allen County, which wants to move it to become part of a proposed adjunct to the Southwind Trail. David Toland, Thrive executive director, said a moving company would be available the middle of June to move the 60,000-pound, 60-foot span. Maybe earlier if the moving company has a job canceled, he said. Time is of the essence. Bill King, director of Public Works, said bids would be opened on June 1 for the bridge’s replacement and then it would be up to the contractor how quickly the bridge would need to be moved. That prompted commissioners to have Toland deal directly with the contractor. “Fair enough,” said Toland. “We’re just asking for the opportunity but understand if the contractor has to go forward and move the bridge,” Thrive will be left out of the loop. Commissioner Dick Works, with knowledge of a good many previous such projects, said he thought “the odds are pretty good” that moving the bridge in mid-June would work. “We’re just asking for a

shot,” Toland added, noting that the trail adjunct would be announced in full detail in a week or two after easements are finalized. The bridge would be part of a project that “would be open to the public,” he said. “It would be a public asset.” As for the existing trail between Iola and Humboldt, Toland observed that 4,000 bi-

will have 35 employees at the start. It will be the last stop for packages before home delivery by UPS. Word on site selection should come in six to 12 months, with other communities in southeast Kansas and southwest Missouri also vying for the business. A third piece of news was that Thrive is developing a

cyclists used the trail in JulyDecember 2013 by a Kansas Department of Transportation counter along the trail. “We’re sure there have been more walkers and hikers during the same time,” he said. The trail, together with the Prairie Spirit Trail that extends from Iola to Ottawa, “is bringing a lot of people to the county,” Toland said. A recent 100-mile race on the longer trail had participants and supporters packing local restaurants, he noted. Turning to economic development, Toland said five sites in Allen County had been identified for a fulfillment center for UPS. The center, which will be housed in a 15,000-square-foot building,

website to advertise Allen County sites for movie productions. Paul Porter, an Iolan whose initial movie, “Rabid Love,” recently was shown at Sterling Six Cinemas, told Toland movie locations are much in demand and that Midwest communities could offer lower costs and fresh places for filming. Toland said the old Allen County Hospital was just one of many local possible sites that filmmakers might find intriguing. An open house for potential developers will be at the old hospital in May. “It’s been shown five or six times in the last three or four months,” Toland added.

A golden calf

Benefit raises nearly $20,000 for Genoble

By BOB JOHNSON The Iola Register

A calf sold at the Southeast Kansas Stockyard auction is very special to Kayla Genoble and her family. Kayla, 8, is suffering from osteosarcoma, a fast-growing bone cancer, which has put her parents, Angela Dryden and Michael Genoble, is financial straits. To help out, SEK Stockyard donated and sold a calf in a benefit Friday for the little girl. “We thought we might raise $4,000 or $5,000,” said John Adams, who with Josh Hermann and Scott Welch, owns the auction barn. “I’d hoped it might go as high as $10,000.” The result was $19,701.80. By the time the calf was ushered from the sale ring, sold for real at $1,276.80 and included in contributions, 38 buyers had participated in the benefit. Twelve of them contributed $1,000

each, and seven others donated between $500 and $800. “I looked around the crowd while the (benefit) sale was going on, and about half the crowd was in tears,” Adams said. “It was very emotional, quite moving,” said Hermann. Employees also were touched. Two of them donated their paychecks for the day. “The beef market is very competitive today,” Adams said, “but this shows that we all get along together. I started that calf at $100 each time and for quite a while one of the buyers bid $500 right afterward,” he said. “At the end of the day it really came together. It was a very humbling experience.” Other money is likely to come in. Adams said the event was posted on the stockyard’s Facebook page and “we’ve had people from western Kansas, from all over the state,

little girl did come out later and got hugs from the three auction owners. “I can’t tell you how proud I am of our industry and our friends for the help they gave Kayla,” Adams concluded.

Veterinarian PROFESSIONAL, CARING STAFF Have you given much thought to your nose lately? If you are an allergy sufferer, you may think your nose’s only function is to be stuffed up or drain endlessly. What about your dog’s nose? We know that you pay attention to it because many of you tell us that your dog may be sick because his/her nose is dry. While there may be a bit of truth to that, there was nothing in my books in veterinary school regarding the nose as an indicator of fever or disease. Allergies and dryness aside, your dog’s nose is a truly remarkable thing! Most people know that a dog’s sense of smell is much better than ours. That makes them exceptional hunters, trackers, military dogs, etc. Dogs use their sense of smell like we use our eyes - it’s their most useful sense in terms of gathering information about their surroundings. Researchers have recently used this comparison as a way of indicating just how good a dog’s sense of smell really is. Their findings state that, “What humans can smell at a third of a mile, a dog could smell more than 3,000 miles away and still see as well.” Wow! That’s a pretty potent sniffer! That level of accuracy can be linked to our brain and the number of receptors found in our noses. Those receptors send information to a specific part of the brain for “interpretation”. People have just 5 million receptors in their noses compared to man’s best friend who has more than 220 million receptors! All of those extra receptors make it possible for them to smell things at levels that are undetectable to us. Other features, such as floppy ears and skin folds (think of a bloodhound) help dogs “trap” scents, making them excellent hunters. Because of their incredible ability to be trained to smell and identify very specific scents, dogs are seeing increasing use in the medical field as well. For example, dogs have been trained to be able to detect glucose levels in people with diabetes and warn them before a potentially dangerous situation occurs. Dogs have also been able to identify people with cancer before some hightech machines can find the disease - but that does NOT mean you should seek your dog’s nose before visiting your doctor for any reason! On a final note, we do a lot of research on a dog’s ability to pick up on very subtle scents, but what about cats? It seems as though little research has been done in that field yet...but if it were done, I would anticipate their findings to read something like this, “We have found that a cat uses it’s nose mostly for turning in an upward direction as a result of displeasure toward their owner for one or more of the following reasons: owner fed at wrong time, owner fed wrong food, owner fed in wrong color of bowl, owner allowed another animal into home, owner wants to interact at inconvenient times, etc...” Well, you get the picture!

State poet launches project Welcome to National Poetry Month. We’re excited to debut the Poet Laureate project and to invite you to be a part of it, both as reader and as writer. HomeWords will be a weekly column, syndicated in newspapers around our great state. Our column explores the concept of “home” — a longheld Kansas value — from micro to macro: from the mobile home of the body, to the room or house we live in, to the land that anchors us, to the sky that envelops it all. To explore these big themes, we’ll use a very little poem. The American Cinquain is just five lines long, each line having — in order — 2, 4, 6, 8, and 2 syllables. It’s a simple, dynamic form

Food, housing up for March By RICARDO LOPEZ Los Angeles Times

March, a measurement that shows average price changes in goods and services purchased by Americans. In the past 12 months, overall core inflation — excluding the volatile food and energy indexes — rose 1.7 percent. Recent drought and other extreme weather patterns have driven up the price of beef to all-time highs and that was reflected in the government’s food index, which rose 0.4 percent in March, following an identical increase the month before. The index showed much steeper increases in certain food categories. The index for poultry, meats and eggs, for instance, showed a second consecutive increase of 1.2 percent last month. The energy index, which includes gas pric-

Food and housing costs rose sharply in March, but overall inflation remained low, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Tuesday. The federal government’s consumer price index rose 0.2 percent in

2 Oklahomans die in Kansas Turnpike accident

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Two women from Oklahoma died when their car collided with a pickup truck driven by a man going the wrong way on the Kansas Turnpike. The Kansas Highway Patrol says the accident occurred Tuesday night

on Interstate 35 in Wichita. The patrol says the driver, 65-year-old Donald Fifer of Haysville, was driving south in the northbound lanes when his truck hit a vehicle head-on, struck a guardrail and overturned before starting on fire. He was hospitalized in Wichita. The driver of the second vehicle, 38-yearold Lori Uchiyama, of Blackwell, Okla., and her passenger, 33-yearold Elizabeth Goodno, of Ponca City, Okla., were killed. Investigators are trying to determine why Fifer was driving the wrong way. The accident closed the turnpike for several hours.

her wizardry with a computer photo program to fix some of the damaged photos. Godfrey pulled up a photo of police officers on her computer that had faded and had been taped back together. Godfrey said Ford was able to make that photo, and many others,

look brand new. When it was time to decide what information should be put on the sign Godfrey thought less was more. “People want more of the quirky facts,” she said. “Things that are more of an interest.” Godfrey said the information isn’t all from the early 1800s. In-

cluded are places that people today would remember. Once the photos and text were selected the group had the information transformed into a vinyl format that was then affixed to aluminum templates. “We had Elizabeth from the Shirt Shop help us place the vinyl reproduction on the

signs,” Houser said. The project became a community effort. The city electric crew helped make the hangers for the signs and other members of the city helped hang the signs. “I’ve heard a lot of good comments on the signs,” Godfrey said. There are 16 signs around the square.

Shooter: Local ties to tragedy Continued from A1

Frazier Glenn Cross, also known as Frazier Glenn Miller, 73, went on a deadly shooting spree. Cross is known for being related to racist organizations like the Ku Klux Klan. Two people were shot at the Center and another was at the Village Shalom Retirement Center. “When I realized what had happened I was like wow,” Ashford said. “The scary

thing is we went in through the front and the shooting was in the back.” Ashford has no doubt that this was a targeted hate crime and finds it disturbing. He said while waiting in the room, there was a World War II display that he read about Hitler and the Holocaust. To find out later that a hate crime was committed shocked him. “It’s a real small

world,” he said. “I wish I could have helped those people but it wasn’t in the cards.”

Now that he has had time to process, Ashford has begun asking himself what he would have done to protect his family. “I believe in the right to carry (a gun) but I don’t carry,” he said. “If I was carrying maybe I could have stopped him. Maybe I could have done something. It doesn’t matter what side of the debate you’re on, but how will you protect yourself.”

Davis: Budget hot topic in state Continued from A1

back’s “roadmap” for Kansas projected job creation for 33,000. By refusing to expand the Medicaid guidelines, Kansas is denying an estimated 155,000 residents health insurance, Davis said. This not only hurts Kansas citizens, but also health care professionals. Davis is a proponent of Kansas joining the 26 other states, including those with Republican leadership, that have expanded their Medicaid guidelines to provide health insurance to U.S. citizens making up to 400 percent of the federal poverty level. Kansas would receive $700 million a year to participate in the program for the next two years. After then, the state assumes up to 10 percent of the operating costs. “We’re paying for the expansion through our federal taxes, but not reaping any of the rewards of the program,” he said. “That money is going to some other state. We should be able to utilize our contribution here in Kansas. It’s also a heck of an economic development tool.” As an industry, health care is typically a high-

paying and fast-growing field. For hospitals, especially, the lack of participation in the expansion of Medicaid hits hard at their budgets. Before the Affordable Care Act was enacted, hospitals were reimbursed through Medicare to see patients who did not have health insurance. Part of the ACA legislation was that hospitals would agree to forego Medicare reimbursements to treat the indigent if they received health insurance through their state’s Medicaid program. When states like Kansas failed to open the umbrella to cover all, hospitals were left without reimbursements on both fronts. “I’m afraid what this will mean to small, rural hospitals” that heavily rely on reimbursements from state and federal programs, Davis said. “Already some have closed.” TEACHERS are feeling underappreciated, Davis said in regards to recent legislation that eliminates protections afforded through tenure. “That was a punch in the gut,” he said. Both of Davis’ parents are educators. His mother taught second grade

in Lawrence; his father taught city management at the University of Kansas. “I’m convinced the previous system worked well. Bad teachers could be let go. You didn’t see any principals or administrators lobbying for this change. “If a teacher is fired, he deserves to know why,” Davis said of a teacher’s right to due process. Davis also was critical of the legislature’s treatment of the judicial branch. “The legislature is trying to bully the judicial branch. It’s pretty awful. This is a co-equal branch of government,” he said. Recent legislation includes withholding funding to courts, usurping power from the chief justice and enacting higher fees to citizens. REPUBLICANS pledging support to Davis has been a pleasant surprise, he said. As for the campaign, Davis said he hopes it stays “on track” and doesn’t becomes a “referendum on ‘Obamacare.’” He takes aim at current TV ads being run by Brownback that portray him as a strong advocate for public schools. “His record has not re-

flected that at all,” Davis said. As for Brownback’s push for all-day kindergarten statewide, Davis replied, “If schools were adequately funded, they wouldn’t have to ask for special funds to run a necessary program like kindergarten.” Davis said a “pretty straight” line can be drawn between what makes a moderate and a conservative Republican. “It’s how they view the purpose of government. The far right wants to use government as a tool to promote a social agenda. Moderates don’t,” he said. Such issues include supporting tax breaks and vouchers for private schools and telling public school districts what subjects they can teach, such as sex education, Davis said, as brought forth by Sen. Mary Pilcher Cook of Wichita. Davis, who serves as House minority leader, laughed when asked if he considered himself an ambitious person. “I don’t think you can be too ambitious and be a Democrat in Kansas,” he said. In the House of Representatives 33 of 125 seats are held by Democrats. In the Senate, eight of 40.

Professors endorse social media policy LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — More than 80 distinguished professors have endorsed a new proposed social media policy for Kansas universities. The Lawrence Journal-World reported the professors, from several universities, sent a letter to the Kansas Board of Regents saying the proposed policy “exemplifies the role of scholarship for public intellectuals in a democracy.” The new policy was proposed by a work group formed by the

regents. It proposed a strictly advisory social media policy for university faculty and staff. That would replace a policy that allows university administrators to discipline or fire employees who they believe have improperly used social media. Opponents said the policy was too broad and restrained free speech. The regents passed the current policy in December after a University of Kansas professor posted an anti-NRA tweet on Twitter.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Trying to make sense of terrorism Tuesday’s marking of the one-year anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombings was a sober event. Probably the most poignant of participants was little Jane Richard, 8, whose prosthetic leg appeared through the bottom of her navy blue dress. Her other leg was lost to the bombings. Beside her were her parents, Denise and Bill, also seriously injured. Denise sustained a head injury and lost the vision of one eye. Bill suffered shrapnel wounds, burns and severe hearing loss. Miraculously, a brother, Henry, 12, was not injured by the blasts. But brother Martin, then 8, was killed. Like many Bostonians, the Richard family made the marathon a family outing, reveling in the pageantry of Patriot’s Day. In all, three were killed by the blasts, 16 lost limbs, 264 suffered lesser injuries, and thousands still bear emotional scars from the senseless violence carried out by two brothers in the throes of Islamic extremism. A fourth fatality was a police officer caught in the crossfire in the pursuit of the two brothers. SUNDAY afternoon, Kan-

sas City was the scene of similar violence. A grandfather and grandson were shot and killed while in their car in the parking lot of a Jewish community center. The boy was to audition for a musical. The assailant then went to a nearby retirement home and shot and killed a woman who was there to visit her mother. “Heil Hitler!” the alleged assailant shouted from the police car upon his arrest. Grandfather and grandson were Methodists. The woman Catholic. EVERY DAY we read of bombings around the world, mostly confined to the Middle East and Africa. Most are done in the name of some political or religious ideology. They happen with such frequency they barely make most news outlets these days. At this coming Monday’s Boston Marathon, 9,000 additional runners are expected along with 1 million spectators. Twice the usual number. “Boston Strong” is plastered on billboards and banners. Unlike other parts of the world, terror does not rule our lives. For that, we are thankful. — Susan Lynn

‘There’s no place like Kansas’

New tourism slogan rather catchy Kansas doesn’t get great mileage out of its tourism slogans. Maybe we’re just too great to articulate in mere words. We always remember that Texas is “like a whole other country.” As for Kansas, are we the “Land of Ahs”? “As big as you think”? Or maybe something else to do with “The Wizard of Oz”? The latest state tourism slogan is in part a reference to the movie many Kansas would just as soon distance themselves from. Unveiled this week, the new message is “There’s no place like Kansas.” Other than the Oz connotation, it’s not a bad theme. Kansas can do some things with the notion that we have some uniqueness to our state that makes it a special place to visit, if not live. No mountains or ocean but some stunning landscapes nonetheless. Quirky sights such as the “Garden of Eden” in Lucas. Good food and warm hospitality. Leisure places. The video and television spots create a sense of re-

Maybe “no place like Kansas” works better as a resident retention campaign, which, given the population trends, maybe should be the focus anyway.

laxation and wonder about our fair state. And the theme song, “Sunflowers,” an original recording by Clearwater native Logan Mize, is catchy. Hutchinson is among seven communities with its own TV spot. Dodge City is another. MARKETING campaigns aren’t done well by committee, but no doubt Kansans will have their opinions on “no place like Kansas.” For many, it is likely to make them think of Oz, and “no place like home” doesn’t work too well as a tourism slogan since you’re trying to get people to leave home to come visit Kansas. We wouldn’t be surprised if some people extended “There’s no place like Kansas” to describe some of the wackos and their shenanigans

in the Statehouse these days. Maybe “no place like Kansas” works better as a resident retention campaign, which, given the population trends, maybe should be the focus anyway. It also can play well for in-state tourism, encouraging the “staycation.” But whether for tourism or retention, the effort can’t stop with the creative. The state needs to budget money to spend on marketing. In the past, Kansas has ranked near the bottom of states in spending on marketing and promotion. One of these days we might land on a slogan that sticks. In the meantime, what we do with the message probably is more important than finding the universally winning message. — The Hutchinson News

Koch brothers benefit from Affordable Care Act The Koch brothers did their best to link select Kansas lawmakers to controversial Obamacare as a way to torpedo their campaigns. Several state lawmakers — namely traditional, more moderate Republicans who wouldn’t serve as puppets for a far-right agenda coveted by Gov. Sam Brownback and other Koch allies — were targeted in the August 2012 GOP primary, The Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity and Kansas Chamber unleashed last-minute, misleading ads

designed to take down lawmakers who dared to challenge their radical pursuits. Unfortunately, many voters fell for the outlandish claims that lawmakers who were targeted somehow supported the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. It was bunk, of course, as those singled out had nothing to do with the federal law upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. As if that wasn’t enough, the Koch-AFP-Kansas Chamber camp recently dredged up Obamacare again in calling

for repeal of Kansas’ Renewable Portfolio Standard. While it clearly was another absurd claim, they argued the RPS was just another costly mandate. Yet the chief critic — giant oil-and-gas conglomerate Koch Industries — has long reaped the benefit of taxpayer subsidies involving energy production, among other government-related deals. And now it appears Obamacare wasn’t such a problem after all for Koch Industries, as the company benefited from the same health-care

reform the Kochs say they detest. Koch Industries reportedly was among big corporations that reaped millions of dollars from the Affordable Care Act, even as the Kochs continued to support GOP candidates who have vowed to work on repeal of the law. Federal records show Koch Industries benefited from a temporary provision of the health-care law in an Early Retiree Reinsurance Program, which helped the company pay health insurance costs for retirees not covered

by Medicare. The records show Koch Industries applied for and received $1.4 million in early retiree subsidies. So, an Affordable Care Act in place to help the uninsured, seniors and young adults with coverage also has something in it for large businesses. The Kochs, like others, took advantage. Kansans should keep such hypocrisy in mind when the next Koch-financed onslaught of political advertising materializes. — The Garden City Telegram

292 missing, 4 dead in South Korean ferry disaster SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A ferry carrying 459 people, mostly high school students on an overnight trip to a tourist island, sank off South Korea’s southern coast today, leaving nearly 300 people missing despite a frantic, hours-long rescue by dozens of ships and helicopters. At least four people were confirmed dead and 55 injured. The high number of people unaccounted for — likely trapped in the ship or floating in the ocean — raised fears that the death toll could rise drastically, making it one of South Korea’s biggest ferry disasters since 1993, when 292 people died. One student, Lim Hyung-min, told broadcaster YTN after being rescued that he and other students jumped into the

ocean wearing life jackets and then swam to a nearby rescue boat. “As the ferry was shaking and tilting, we all tripped and bumped into each another,” Lim said, adding that some people were bleeding. Once he jumped, the ocean “was so cold. ... I was hurrying, thinking that I wanted to live.” Local television stations broadcast live pictures of the ship, Sewol, listing to its side and slowly sinking as passengers jumped out or were winched up by helicopters. At least 87 vessels and 18 aircraft swarmed around the stricken ship. Rescuers clambered over its sides, pulling out passengers wearing orange life jackets. But the ship overturned completely and continued to sink slowly. Within a few

hours only its blue-andwhite bow stuck out of the water. Very soon, that too disappeared. Some 160 coast guard and navy divers searched for survivors inside the ship’s wreckage a few miles from Byeongpung Island, which is not far from the mainland. The

area is about 290 miles from Seoul. Those rescued — wet, stunned and many without shoes — were brought to nearby Jindo Island, where medical teams wrapped them in pink blankets and checked them for injuries before settling them down on

Iola track team competes — B5

Wednesday, April 16, 2014

Standouts lead the way at IMS Invitational More than 900 youngsters from 20 schools filled Iola’s Riverside Park from stem to stern to compete in the Iola Middle School Invitational Track meet. There were several local standouts, including Iola’s Tayton Driskel, a three-time gold medalist in the 100- and 200-meter dashes and the long jump. Meanwhile, Iola’s Olivia Taylor brought home the gold medal in the eighth-grade girls 1600-meter run, and Evan Sigg had the top honors in the eighth-grade boys discus. Marmaton Valley’s Makayla Brooks took first in the eighth-grade girls 200-meter dash. Due to a computer malfunction, results from several girls races, including the 100- and 400-meter dashes, the seventhgrade girls 1600, the 100-meter hurdles and long jump, shot put and discus were unavailable by press time. Results for Iola, Humboldt and Marmaton Valley follow.

Iola golfers find right strokes PITTSBURG — Iola High’s Mustangs are right where head coach Doug Kerr wants them to be with their golf games. Fresh off taking second in their season-opener last week in Independence, the Mustangs did one better, taking

home first place at the Pittsburg Invitational. Meanwhile, Iola’s Kaden Macha made it 2-for-2, winning his second individual title of the season with an even par 72. He was three strokes better than his nearest competitor, Independence’s Cal-

vin Hugo (75). Kerr said Macha’s opening hole set the tone. After Macha duffed his approach shot, the ball was sitting on the edge of the green, 40 or so yards from the hole. See GOLF | Page B4

Iola High’s Derrick Weir pitches a complete game Tuesday in the first game of a doubleheader against Prairie View. Iola lost the game, 5-4, before rallying to win the nightcap, 2-1. REGISTER/KAYLA BANZET

Iola High’s Shelby Reno fields a ground ball Tuesday in the Fillies’ doubleheader against Prairie View. The Fillies had a tough go of it, falling 6-0 and 1-0 to fall to 3-3 in Pioneer League play. REGISTER/KAYLA BANZET

Fillies’ strong pitching not enough Offense was hard to come by for Iola High’s Fillies Tuesday. The Fillies never could find any offensive traction against visiting Prairie View, falling 6-0 and 1-0. The 1-0 defeat was particularly painful as Iola stranded runners in each of the first four innings, including leaving two on in both the first and second frames. Iola then left the bases full in the bottom of the fourth before Prairie View’s Amanda Moore settled down to retire the last 10 Filly

batters in order. Mackenzie Weseloh was the tough-luck loser, despite giving up only five hits and three walks in seven innings. She struck out seven. Moore was able to escape after Weseloh and Shelby Reno each reached on singles in the first inning. Jadyn Sigg reached on an error in the second, and Taylor Heslop singled before Moore wiggled out of trouble. Sigg then singled with one out in the fourth before Hes-

lop reached on an error and Ashlie Shields worked a twoout walk to load the bases. But Moore retired Weseloh on a fly ball to center to end the threat. “That play was huge,” Fillies head coach Vince Coons said. “Mackenzie really cranked it, and I just knew it was going to hit the gap, and we’d have three runs. But the ball just sort of died in the win, and their centerfielder See FILLIES | Page B4

Mustangs earn split Iola High’s Mustangs took it to the brink Tuesday, as both games of a doubleheader against visiting Prairie View came down to the last batters. In the opener, the Buffalos rallied for two runs in the top of the seventh inning, to turn a 4-3 deficit into a 5-4 victory before Iola returned the favor with Derrick Weir’s walk-off double in the bottom of the seventh inning of the nightcap for a 2-1 win. The split keeps Iola’s record even on the season at 4-4. The Mustangs are at 4-2 in Pioneer League action. “It was a couple of good

pitchers’ duels, but we still need to play better,” Iola head coach Mark Percy said. The opener was a bitter pill to swallow as the Mustangs held a 4-3 lead behind Weir’s pitching. Kaleb Konitzer’s leadoff homer in the seventh tied the score before Tommy Thayer reached on a Mustang error and came around to score on a wild pitch. The Mustangs didn’t go quietly, however. Thealvin Minor and Ethan Sigg both worked for walks to put runners on first

Ventura sharp as Royals knock off Astros, 4-2 By KRISTIE RIEKEN The Associated Press

HOUSTON (AP) — Kansas City rookie Yordano Ventura entered Tuesday night’s game winless in four career starts dating to last season despite posting a 2.53 ERA in those games. On Tuesday night, he pitched seven solid innings and finally got his

first victory as the Royals beat the Houston Astros 4-2. “I’m just really proud for him because that was like his fifth time he’s gone for his first win and he’s had an opportunity to win ballgames two or three times and we couldn’t hold it for him,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “To finally get that out of the way for him, to get his first major league win was big for all of us tonight.” Omar Infante homered and drove in two runs for the Royals. Ventura (1-0), an elite prospect with a 100 mph fastball, allowed four hits and one earned run with seven strikeouts in seven innings — both career highs. His seven strikeouts were the most by a Kansas City rookie since Will Smith also fanned seven on Sept. 11, 2012.

second with nobody out. But pinch runner Ben Cooper was called out on a controversial call on a Buffalo pickoff attempt. The Mustang coaches protested to no avail. “We were going to put on a bunt to get the runners to second and third, but the pickoff changed everything,” Percy said. An infield pop-up and a ground ball ended the game. “Half our lineup is struggling with the bats,” Percy said. Trailing 1-0, Iola rallied for two runs with two out in the bottom of the third. Trent Latta, Drew Faulhaber, Weir and Ethan Scheibmeir put together consecutive singles, with Faulhaber and Scheibmeir collecting RBIs. Prairie View responded with two in the top of the fourth to take a 3-2 lead before Iola retook the upper hand in the fifth. Faulhaber and Weir were both hit by pitches and advanced to second and third on a Buffalo error. Sigg’s single drove both home for a 4-3 lead. Weir surrendered eight hits with five strikeouts. Latta singled twice, as did Weir. Faulhaber, Scheibmeir and Sigg had

one single each. LATTA WAS up to the challenge on the mound in game two. He matched Prairie View’s Jordan Fulks, out for out, in an old-fashioned pitchers’ duel. Coleson Wiggin led the way to the Mustangs’ first run in the second when he and Sigg singled with one out. Kohl Endicott walked to load the bases. Another walk to Caleb Alexander forced in Wiggin to put Iola in front, 1-0. Prairie View tied the score when Austin Dimmett doubled, moved to third on a ground ball and scored on a steal of home. Latta wiggled out of trouble in the fifth after Konitzer tripled with one out. Latta got a key Fulks strikeout before ending the inning with a ground ball. He allowed a one-out single in the sixth before picking off the baserunner. He allowed just six hits in his complete game victory with one walk and seven strikeouts. Faulhaber went 2-for-4 with a double, while Latta, Weir, Wiggin and Sigg all singled. Iola travels to Wellsville Tuesday for another key Pioneer League matchup.

made a great extension to catch it.” Prairie View’s Kallie Konitzer doubled to lead off the fourth, moved to third on a passed ball and scored on Maggie Brown’s sacrifice fly for the only run of the game. Weseloh, Hannah Endicott, Reno, Sigg and Heslop had Iola’s only hits. “I tried pushing the action, and wound up getting a couple of our runners thrown out trying to go for extra bases,” Coons said. “We just didn’t get the hits we needed.” went right defensively in the opener as the Fillies committed seven errors, leading to five unearned runs. “They did a good job of forcing us into mistakes by trying for the extra base,” Coons said.

walks. She struck out five. Meanwhile, Brown limited the Fillies to just two hits, singles by Sigg in the second inning and Shields in the third. “Both Hannah and Mackenzie were super,” Coons said. “Hannah pitched her heart out, and Mackenzie did a good job of moving the ball in and out. “We’re so close to becoming an excellent team,” he continued. “We just are not quite there yet.” IOLA’S junior varsity

fell in both games of its doubleheader, 13-1 and 16-0. Emily McKarnin had a single and scored a run in the first game. Lexi Heslop and Taylor Heslop also had singles. Taylor Sell’s secondinning single was the Fillies JV’s only hit in the nightcap. The Fillies (3-3 in Pioneer League play and 3-5 overall) return to action Tuesday at Wellsville.

really good defense and scored a lot of runs for me. It gives me a lot of satisfaction so I can keep working hard to help the team win.” Infante had a solo shot in the first inning off Lucas Harrell (0-3) and added an RBI in the third inning as the Royals found some offense after managing just five runs combined as they were swept in a weekend

series at Minnesota. Eric Hosmer and Billy Butler had an RBI each for Kansas City and Lorenzo Cain had a pair of hits for his fourth multihit game this season. “We just got a couple of timely hits today and as an offense we need to do a better job of that,” Hosmer said. “The way our pitchers have thrown we’ve got to find a way to produce runs for them and tonight we did a good job of that.” Carlos Corporan homered in the fifth inning for the Astros, who have scored two runs or fewer in three of their past four games. Harrell gave up five hits and four runs in five innings and has allowed 14 runs in three starts combined this season. Ventura had retired 12 of the last 13 batters when Corporan launched his homer into the first row of the seats in right field with one out in the fifth inning to cut the lead to 4-2. He got back on track after that and didn’t allow another hit until Matt Dominguez singled to start the seventh inning. He walked Jonathan Vil-

lar with two outs, but ended the threat and his night when he retired Dexter Fowler after a short coaching visit to the mound. Wade Davis pitched a perfect eighth before Greg Holland struck out the side in the ninth for his fourth save. He has converted 13 straight save opportunities dating to Sept. 7. Infante put Kansas City up early with his solo homer to the Crawford Boxes in left field with one out in the first inning. Fowler hit a leadoff double and reached third on a one-out single by Jason Castro. Fowler scored on an error by Ventura with two outs on a pickoff attempt to first base to tie it at 1-1. Infante grounded into a forceout that scored Cain, who had led off the inning with a single, to make it 2-1 in the third inning. Hosmer followed with an RBI double to push the lead to 3-1. A single by Nori Aoki followed by a pair of walks loaded the bases for Kansas City with one out in the fifth, and Butler’s sacrifice fly pushed the lead to 4-1.

“He was just hoping to get it close with his first putt,” Kerr said. Instead, Macha drained the birdie putt, while his two fellow competitors had bogeys. The Mustangs wound up four strikes ahead of Independence — the same team that edged Iola for the team title last week — 315 to 319.

“I thought this course was tougher,” Kerr said, “and we shaved five strokes off our score from last week. Everybody did a great job today.” Drake Dieker and Shane Walden both carded 80s, while Weston Hines shot an 83. Matt Jacobs finished at 89, and Adam Peterson at 94.

“Drake’s round was key,” Kerr said. “We moved him up in our rotation so he was playing against some better players. He responded with the best round of golf he’s had in a while.” Iola resumes action Tuesday at Osawatomie. The Mustang junior varsity is at Anderson County Monday.

Mourners reflect on anniversary of Boston Marathon attack Two arrested after backpacks found, detonated by police By DENISE LAVOIE The Associated Press

BOSTON (AP) — Survivors, first responders and relatives of those killed in the Boston Marathon bombing marked the anniversary Tuesday with tributes that combined sorrow over the loss of innocent victims with pride over the city’s resilience in the face of a

terror attack. “This day will always be hard, but this place will always be strong,” former Mayor Thomas Menino told an invitation-only audience of about 2,500 people at the Hynes Convention Center, not far from the finish line, where two pressure cooker bombs hidden in backpacks killed three people and

injured more than 260 others a year ago. Vice President Joe Biden, who attended the ceremony, said the courage shown by survivors and those who lost loved ones is an inspiration for other Americans dealing with loss and tragedy. “You have become the face of America’s resolve,” he said. Biden also praised the 36,000 runners who plan to run the marathon next week, saying they will send a message to terrorists.

“America will never, ever, ever stand down,” he said, to loud applause. He added, “We own the finish line.” In the evening, after the tributes were over and most people had left, a man behaving suspiciously near the finish line dropped a backpack containing a rice cooker, police said. The man, who walked barefoot in a street in pouring rain, was taken into custody and was being charged with possession of a hoax device and disturbing the peace, Police Superintendent Randall Halstead said. The backpack was blown up by the bomb squad as a precaution as was a second unattended backpack found nearby, police said, and no injuries were reported. Halstead didn’t release the identity of the man in custody and wouldn’t say what was in the second backpack or who owned it. IN

WASHINGTON,

President Barack Obama observed the anniversary of last year’s deadly marathon attack with a private moment of silence at the White House. “Today, we recognize the incredible courage and leadership of so many Bostonians in the wake of unspeakable tragedy,” Obama said in a statement. “And we offer our deepest gratitude to the courageous firefighters, police officers, medical professionals, runners and spectators who, in an instant, displayed the spirit Boston was built on — perseverance, freedom and love.” Obama said this year’s race, scheduled for April 21, will “show the world the meaning of Boston Strong as a city chooses to run again.” say Chechen

brothers who lived in the former Soviet republic of Kyrgyzstan and the Dagestan region of Russia planned and orchestrated the marathon bombings on April 15, 2013. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, died following a shootout with police days after the bombings. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 20, has pleaded not guilty to federal charges and is awaiting a trial in which he faces a possible death sentence. Prosecutors say the brothers also killed MIT police Officer Sean Collier days after the bombings in an attempt to steal his gun. Prosecutors have said Dzhokhar Tsarnaev left a hand-scrawled confession condemning U.S. actions in Muslim countries on the inside wall of a boat in which he was found hiding following the police shootout. At the tribute, several survivors of the bombing alluded to their injuries but focused on the strength they’ve drawn from fellow survivors, first responders, doctors, nurses and strangers who have offered them support. “We should never have met this way, but we are so grateful for each other,” said Patrick Downes, a newlywed who was injured along with his wife. Each lost a left leg below the knee in the bombings. Downes described Boston Strong, the slogan coined after the attack, as a movement that symbolizes the city’s de-

termination to recover. He called the people who died “our guardian angels.” “We will carry them in our hearts,” he said. Downes said the city on April 21 will “show the world what Boston represents.” He added, “For our guardian angels, let them hear us roar.” Adrianne Haslet-Davis, a ballroom dancer who lost her left leg below the knee and has recently returned to performing on a prosthetic leg, said she’s learned over the last year that no milestone is too small to celebrate, including walking into a non-handicapped bathroom stall for the first time and “doing a happy dance.” Gov. Deval Patrick spoke of how the attack has drawn people closer. “There are no strangers here,” he repeated throughout his speech. Carlos Arredondo, the cowboy hat-wearing spectator who was hailed as a hero for helping the wounded after the bombings, said he went to the tribute ceremony to support survivors and their families. “You can see how the whole community gathered together to support them and remember,” Arredondo said. After the tributes, many of those in attendance walked in the rain to the finish line for a moment of silence that coincided with the time when the bombs went off. Bells rang, and a flag was raised by transit agency police Officer Richard Donohue, who was badly injured during a shootout with the bombing suspects. Earlier in the day, a wreath-laying ceremony drew the families of the three people killed last year — Martin Richard, Krystle Campbell and Lu Lingzi — and Collier’s relatives.

Retired hockey players sue NHL MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Another group of former NHL players has joined the fight for compensation for head injuries they say they incurred while playing, while at the same time targeting the violence of the game that they believe brought about those injuries.

Retired players Dave Christian, Reed Larson and William Bennett filed a class action lawsuit in federal court on Tuesday alleging that the league has promoted fighting and downplayed the risk of head injuries that come from it. “I think the glorified violence is really

the Achilles heel for the NHL,” said Charles “Bucky” Zimmerman, an attorney at Zimmerman Reed that filed the lawsuit on behalf of the players. “If anything comes of this, the focus on the glorified violence and perhaps the change to that will be a good thing.”

Former social services chief dies Boys, Girls Clubs get federal grant lobbyist for a statewide nonprofit council advocating for the disabled. F o r mer Gov. John Carlin called Harder “a very Robert Harder special human being,” The Topeka Capital-Journal reported. Carlin, a Democrat, was governor from 1979 to 1987, and Harder served as his secretary of social and rehabilitation services. “Bob Harder was as good as public servant, public administrator as I’ve ever known for sure,” Carlin said. “Bob was a joy to be around, but he was usually pretty serious business most of the time.” Harder was born June 4, 1929, in Horton, the son of a Methodist minister.

Harder himself earned two advanced theology degrees and became a pastor at a Methodist church in east Topeka in 1958. Starting in 1961, he served six years in the Kansas House as a Democrat. In 1967, he left the Legislature for then-Democratic Gov. Robert Docking’s administration and helped set up the Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services. He served as the state’s first SRS secretary, starting in 1969, and kept the job until 1987. He returned to the position briefly after Democratic Gov. Joan Finney took office in 1991 and later became her secretary of health and environment. Republican Gov. Sam Brownback reorganized social services and health care agencies in 2012, creating the Department for Children and Families.

Corn crop off to slow start ST. LOUIS (AP) — Most years about this time, northern Illinois farmer Monty Whipple, like so many Midwest growers, would be riding high in his monstrous tractor, kicking up dust while planting corn in hundreds of acres. But this spring has kept him sidelined, and he’s anything but alone. Spring planting across much of the nation’s Corn Belt is sputtering, foiled by rainy and chilly conditions that in broad stretches have left the ground either too soggy or too cold for effective seeding. As of Sunday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture says, just 3 percent of the U.S. corn crop was sown, half the dismal pace of last year, when one of the wettest springs on record got farmers in many states off to the slowest start in decades. In Illinois, just 1 percent of this year’s corn has been planted — onetenth of the average pace of the previous five years. Farmers in other key corn-producing states — Iowa, Nebraska and Indiana — were equally idle, the USDA says. Missouri has 9 percent of its crop in the field, down from 16 percent this time a year ago. Still, Whipple and other growers in Illinois and Missouri aren’t sound-

ing alarms, noting that today’s bigger, more efficient planting machines can make up for lost time. Such was the case last year, when more than 40 percent of Illinois’ corn crop got planted in just one week in mid-May. The USDA says corn planting traditionally

“I can’t be in the field, so this is a good job to get done while waiting,” he said, though he admitted he’s “starting to get a little frustrated.” He guessed it will be another week before he can begin planting corn. “We just haven’t had that week or two of good weather, and

We just haven’t had that week or two of good weather, and there’s a lot of work to be done. — Monty Whipple, Illinois farmer

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Boys and Girls Clubs of Topeka have been selected to receive more than $272,000 from the U.S. Department of Education to provide an integrated physical activity and nutrition pro-

gram. The agency on Tuesday announced the award, one of 67 grants made nationwide to distribute $33 million to local education agencies. Agencies receiving the grants are required

to use the funds to initiate, expand or enhance physical education and nutrition education programs. The activities include after-school programs for children in kindergarten through 12th grade.

Senior Spotlight Iola High School Class of 2014 Arion Kunkler

Arion is the son of Damaris Kunkler and Shae Garrett. His activities in school include cross country, track, football and attending Wesley United Methodist Church. His hobbies include hanging out with friends and collecting shoes. After high school he will move to Colorado to live with his father and attend a community college in Denver. Senior year football, basketball, Hooligans and going to Taco Bell after the home games were high school highlights for Arion.

Scout Henry Scout is the daughter of Tom Henry and Angela Henry. She is active in FFA, Interact and Cheerleading. She was the football manager, sang in the church choir and was yearbook editor. Scout said she likes to work, hangout with her family and friends, cheer and watch Netflix. She works as a teacher in the SafeBase afterschool program. She is unsure where she would like to attend college after high school but plans to major in agribusiness and minor in agronomy with an international language influence. Scout said her four years in high school have been a blast. She said there isn’t a way to pick one particular highlight although she did enjoy National Convention freshman through junior year.

begins about this time, with that task typically in full swing from April 21 through May 23. And the agency notes that even with last year’s frustratingly slow start to planting, U.S. farmers still reaped a record 13.9 billion bushels of corn and the third-biggest soybean crop on record. “There’s really not any need to be concerned,” Illinois Farm Bureau spokesman John Hawkins said. At least not yet, as Whipple waits for spring to stop acting like winter. With a fresh batch of snow on his roughly 800 acres of farmland near Utica in LaSalle County, he spent Tuesday hauling stored grain to a barge and felt productive.

there’s a lot of work to be done.” But he said he has resisted the urge to rush in a crop when the soil is marginal, saying “you only get one shot at this.” Near Missouri’s Warrenton, west of St. Louis, Keith Witt said only one or two local farmers have any corn planted — for bragging rights, if anything. But with 3,500 acres soaked by six inches of rain over the past 10 days or so, Witt guesses he’ll have to wait until the end of next week to start planting. Expectations of more rain within days soured any hope of getting in the fields now to plant half of his acreage with corn, then the other half later with beans.

Jacob is the son of Erin and Phillip Rhoads. His activities include football for four years, track for one year, baseball for two years and youth group. Jacob enjoys fishing, hunting, playing sports and being outdoors. He wants to graduate high school then play college football. After college he wants to travel the world then find a place to settle down and start his life. His high school highlights were going to state in baseball last year and getting second in state, being back to back Pioneer League champions in football and being a homecoming candidate for football 2013. Also, breaking Mr. D’s freshman javelin record was a highlight.

However, he has basically stated that when marriage counseling fails (not if), “I give up.” We have kids and we love each other, we just can’t seem to live together right now. Am I wasting my time saving a relationship that he sees as doomed? — Marriage on the Cliff He agreed to marriage counseling, so go. Even if it fails, counseling won’t have been a waste because it’s a basic step before giving up altogether. That may seem silly, but it can be important to be able to tell yourself you “tried everything.” And, if you choose well, your therapist can help you through whatever the

Tell Me About It Carolyn Hax next step happens to be. One suggestion before you start: Go into counseling looking for new ways to understand what’s happening, new ways to frame your marriage, new ways to speak to your husband, vs. a new way to save the marriage or get your husband to see your side. Set only the goals that are within your control. Re: Marriages “failing”:

I hate that term. I read the other day about someone’s marriage failing after 35 years and three kids. Um, no. It ended. Lots of good came out of it, and then things changed, and it ended. “Failed” makes it sound as if the fact of being married is the accomplishment. It is also terribly

judgmental. OK, said my piece. — Anonymous Quite well, thanks. We were talking about the possibility that counseling would fail, but the argument still applies. Thank you for taking my question last week [about disagreements with my boyfriend]. I was surprised when you included the domestic violence link because he had never been violent. He still hasn’t been, but that weekend he yelled at me pretty bad, and systematically insulted my entire character. When we talked normally he said he was purposely trying to hurt my feelings. He admitted he should have communicated better, but never apologized for yelling, though I apologized for “setting him off” multiple times. I broke up with him. — Different Perspectives again Every person who becomes violent was, preceding that point, not violent.

Plus, domestic violence education is applicable to situations of verbal/ emotional abuse, because they’re just different points on the same continuum. When someone thinks it’s okay to cause you deliberate harm in one way, how much of a leap is it to another kind of deliberate harm? As for why I made abuse connections when you hadn’t even mentioned yelling, it was this: “He feels that if we go somewhere together we SHOULD spend every second together.” That’s classic control, which is a predictor of relationship violence. It’s in the warning-signs section of the pamphlet. Even though you broke up (phew), I think you still would benefit from reading more on the topic. “The Gift of Fear” by Gavin de Becker is eyeopening, and a quick and absorbing read. Take care.

A year after explosion, West is on the mend WEST, Texas (MCT) — Two flags, tattered by an explosion blocks away, have flown at half-staff at the Emergency Medical Services station since shortly after a fertilizer mixing operation blew up April 17, 2013, devastating this quiet Central Texas town and killing 15. The dead included three out-of-town men attending a course at the EMS facility, who then joined local volunteer firefighters to fight the blaze. Tommy Muska, the ruddy-faced mayor of this traditional Czech community, teared up and went offmessage about West’s efforts to rebuild as his 1990 Ford pickup edged toward the frayed, faded American and Lone Star flags. “Look at that. That’s pretty much how many of us feel — beat up but still flying.” said Muska, an insurance agent whose father was also the town’s mayor. He was thrust into the headline-snaring disaster, followed by months of delicate dealings with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, state agencies, lawyers, myriad reporters, aid agencies and 2,800 shaken residents. In fits and starts, and sometimes punctuated by raw emotion, the town of West is on the mend. Residential streets in the district closest to the blast at West Fertilizer are crowded with trucks delivering bricks, rock and roofing material. A few homes, like that of a town doctor, are still boarded up. But new construction has given the streets the appearance of a suburban subdivision busily being pieced together by teams of workers. The city has received $3.2 million in state funds

and will get $1.3 million in project reimbursements from FEMA. West expects to end up with new infrastructure, from sewers and streets to a rebuilt park. Muska is hoping to lasso $4.4 million more from the state. After a methodical if slow start, West’s nonprofit Long-Term Recovery Center has disbursed $1.6 million and will have exhausted its remaining $2 million by June or July. Then it will try to raise an additional $500,000 for more building materials, said its new executive director, Suzanne Hack. The Volunteer Fire Department, which lost five members in the explosion, has received new donated vehicles to replace the three fire trucks that were destroyed. The Catholic Church’s Austin Diocese, through the St. Vincent de Paul Society, distributed 219 “house in a box” units that included basic furniture and household items that a family might have lost in the blast. In all, it has spent $1.6 million on various relief efforts, from covering drug prescriptions to providing temporary housing, spokeswoman Christina Gonzalez said. An additional $553,812 remains to be used in West. Companies seeking new sites for factories still bypass West, but residents point to the large new truck stop and retail store, Slovacek’s, on the west side of I-35, owned by a Czech sausage maker from Snook. And, Muska crows, the city’s sales tax receipts were up 13 percent in February, the most recent tally available. Muska knew he hit a nerve when he publicly suggested that a fertil-

izer mixing plant, needed to supply local farmers, might be rebuilt nearby. Waco area TV stations repeated the story over several news cycles after the mayor spoke at a town meeting in late March. If one is ever built, it will be made of concrete and steel — not using rickety, 50-year-old wooden bins — with the ammonium nitrate stored in thick-walled bunkers, the mayor later asserted. The chemical, stored in huge quantities just outside the city, was responsible for the destruction and loss of life. “It’s going to be a hard sell,” Muska told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “It’s hard for some people, harder for some. It’s hard for me. They were upset I ever brought it up. I was just putting my toe in the water.” An outsider in this tightly woven community has become the face of renewal in some of the hardesthit and poorest neighborhoods.

Since January, John Raimer has toiled as construction chief for the Long-Term Recovery Center, which has spearheaded home rebuilding and repair for people with no insurance or not enough. The nonprofit, a unit of the West Foundation, has become a lightning rod of frustration and criticism, which likely led to the res-

ignation in November of its first director. At 54, Raimer, a goateed Floridian, is something of an itinerant do-gooder, having given up his electrical engineering job with the municipal electric company in Gainesville. He had an epiphany of sorts during disaster duty several years ago in Louisiana. He called his company to say

he had found his life’s calling and told them to get his retirement papers ready. Since then, he has done hands-on relief work after hurricanes elsewhere in Louisiana, in Alabama and New Jersey. In Alabama, Raimer learned that a group of motorcyclists would do it their way, no matter what he might have instructed.
