Experiential learning Annexation on table

By STEVEN SCHWARTZ steven@iolaregister.com

“You’ve got to make learning fun to some degree, or they’re (the students) just not going to learn,” Murphy said.

It seemed the kids were having no shortage of learning or fun in the parking lot outside of the new community building.

It would have seemed like a disaster area if it weren’t

Iola City Council members held discussions Monday night that will lead them one step closer to annexing, or not annexing, Country Estates.

“I believe we need to move forward for various reasons,” Councilman Steve French said during the meeting. He cited the need for an increase in population in the city, the loss of houses in the 2007 flood, as well as the need for regular maintenance and a stricter billing process for sewer use in the development.

Duane McGraw, a homeowner in Country Estates north of Iola, came before the council to voice his grievances over the state of water and sewer services where he lives.

“Most people couldn’t even tell you where their water meters are,” he said.

He said there is a lack of knowledge, and desire, for people to serve on the water board — which acts as a rural water district outside of the city. He said homeowners and renters are not taking responsibility for their own maintenance, and it is taking a toll on the rest; not to mention he has had the sewers back up into his home on several occasions.

“It’s a problem that has been brewing for some time,” French said.

The only issue on the city’s side — this will not be a money-making venture.

“The annexation will be

County organizes Safety Day

By STEVEN SCHWARTZ steven@iolaregister.com

More than 600 area elementary students gathered at Riverside Park on Monday morning for the third annual Allen County Safety Days.

Angela Murphy, 911 director with the county, said the day is meant to educate children on safety and safety personnel in the area, and also to have some fun.

Eugene Myrick, left, and John Wells were selected for the open council seat for ward three and ward one, respectively.

City Clerk Roxanne Hutton swore them into the position on Monday evening.

It was a big night for Community Involvement Task Force/ Pride members, with three award presentations during Monday nights’ meeting. Jim Smith was given the Pride Community Partner Award for his volunteer work in the city.

The CITF group won the Natural Star Capital Award and the Community of Excellence Award through their hard work in improving the community.

USD 258, Humboldt work for grants HUMBOLDT — Humboldt council members pledged $25,000 for local match of a proposed 20-80 grant to make it safer for students walking or biking to school.

Mary Durand, middle school math teacher, said her students took on a project to attract a Kansas Department of Transportation Safe Routes to School grant a year ago, but came up short in the competition. Calling themselves Cubs that Care, they want to try again this year and think their chances are better with the city’s support.

If the grant is successful, KDOT would put in $100,000 to make the total $125,000. Sidewalks would be constructed and improved, curb cuts would be made to accommodate the handicapped, routes to and from school would be

color-coded, and street crossings would be marked. Some street work also would be involved, including signage.

The work would center on 11th, 12th, Central and Bridge streets and involve students enrolled at elementary and middle schools.

“

We have to do what’s right by our kids. I think this is a must for us.

— Humboldt Mayor Nobby Davis

“

By BOB JOHNSON bob@iolaregister.com

Durand said her students began the project by walking routes to and from schools and photographing problem areas, which she showed in a slide presentation.

“The city’s support is im-

portant,” she said, and could be the tipping point this year.

“We have to do what’s right by our kids,” said Mayor Nobby Davis. “I think this is a must for us.”

City Administrator Larry Tucker said the city’s financial support could be drawn from the community development fund, which contains $95,000.

Prior to Durand’s presentation, council members voted to add stop signs on east-west streets along South Eighth Street, except at Pine, an east-west artery, and lower the speed limit from Pine on south past the swimming pool from 30 to 20 miles an hour.

Chief of Police Brian Dillow asked for the safety measures, noting officers had worked several traffic accidents on South Eighth and See GRANTS | Page A2

Ottawa suspect appears in court

By MARIA SUDEKUM Associated Press

OTTAWA, Kan. (AP) — A man charged with killing three adults and a toddler on a Franklin County farm made a brief appearance in a packed courtroom Monday, but showed little emotion while a judge set a new court date.

Kyle Flack, 27, has been held on $10 million bond in the Franklin County jail since he was charged Friday with capital murder in the deaths of 18-month-old Lana Leigh Bailey; her mother, Kaylie Bailey, 21; and Andrew Stout, 30. Flack is also charged with multiple counts of first-degree murder in those deaths, as well as that of Steven White, 31.

The adults’ bodies were found early last week at an Ottawa area farm home. A body believed to be the toddler’s was found Saturday in nearby Osage County.

Flack was picked up for questioning last week about 50 miles southwest of Ottawa in Emporia, where officers also found the car that Kaylie 75 Cents

Bailey had been driving when she was last seen. She and her child were reported missing from Olathe on May 3.

In court Monday, four armed officers stood between Flack and the small courtroom, which was overflowing with family and friends of the victims.

Flack was shackled at the wrists and ankles, and appeared with his lawyer, Ronald Evans. He waived having an initial preliminary hearing set in 15 days, and Judge Thomas Sachse set it for July 8 instead.

Evans declined additional comment after the hearing.

Authorities said in the complaint filed Friday against Flack that a firearm was used in the four deaths. Franklin County Attorney Stephen Hunting, however, has declined to say if the four had been shot. Authorities haven’t said what the motive for the killings may have been.

H Annexation Continued from A1 be more of a liability at this point than an asset,” City Administrator Carl Slaugh told the council.

The area, which holds 67 lots and 56 residencies, would require additional maintenance from the city through roadway maintenance, sewer maintenance, and many others. The tax dollars may not be enough to cover the costs.

“It’s going to cost us as a city to get those (lift station) pumps fixed,”

Mayor Joel Wicoff said.

“That is a lot of infrastructure we are going to add,” Assistant City Administrator Corey Schinstock said.

Ultimately, Slaugh said the area needs to be annexed in order to receive the funds to update the area, which will need to happen either way.

Wicoff said the area should be annexed for the benefit of the people living there.

“We need to take care of our neighbors,” he said.

Slaugh said the next step would be a public notice of official annexation of Country Estates.

— A motion was passed for the Community Development Block Grant payment request, a total of $22,064.

— A motion was passed for a $6,500 payment toward phase one of the wastewater improvement project.

came at an opportune time, it was earlier this spring in Humboldt.

Council members had been mulling repairs to the City Hall roof and now will have nearly $21,500 in insurance proceeds to help pay the bill.

Tucker pointed out the settlement was for all city buildings, but “we’ll get it in a lump sum check and can use it all on City Hall.”

A bid from Murphy Roofing, Stark, at

$34,750 for a foam roof was the lowest of four.

Rick Murphy noted that if a contract were approved, he could start the project next week. Waiting might push the work back several months, he added, with a number of roof repairs in Fort Scott pending.

Council members didn’t waste any time and voted unanimously to accept Murphy’s proposal.

IN OTHER NEWS:

— Security cameras will be placed in Cannon, Centennial and Neosho River parks, as well as near the brush dumping area south of Hunter Park. Dillow said rotating cameras atop utility poles would feed images 24 hours a day by Internet and be recorded at police headquarters.

H Ottawa Continued from A1 said afterward that forensic work was continuing on what authorities believed to be the child’s remains.

Andrew Helm, 27, of Gardner, was a friend of the victims’ and was one of Flack’s co-workers at the Ottawa Sanitation Department a couple years ago. Helm said he attended the hearing to support Stout’s family.

Helm said Stout, Flack, Bailey and her daughter attended a barbecue at Helm’s home on April 28 and that he noticed nothing unusual.

The criminal complaint filed in the case said Lana and Kaylie Bailey and Stout were killed “on or about or between” April 28 to May 6, and that White was killed “on or about or between” April 20 and April 28.

Vicki Engstrom, of Ottawa, said she was a longtime friend of

the City Hall basement meeting room. The mural idea surfaced at a Rotary Club meeting. Tucker showed a sketch done by Harvey Peck, local artist and Rotarian. Peck has done such projects in the past but isn’t physically able to now, Tuckers said, which will lead Rotarians to look for another artist.

Martin to address class With their powers combined...

By TERRY BROYLES

Humboldt Correspondent

Kile Martin I was a kid. I’ve always been around music.”

He plans to continue his education at Neosho County Community College and then pursue radio broadcasting at Pittsburg State University.

However, the Air Force is the alternate plan if broadcasting doesn’t work out.

In history class, Martin said, “I had an enthusiasm with the war chapters I think because my grandfather was in Vietnam. Math was probably my worst class.”

He has enjoyed high school in Humboldt and feels like he is better prepared for college than he would have been at his previous school.

Two people in particular stand out as influential in Martin’s life; his friend Nick Keazer and English instructor, Hailey Schoendaller.

“Nick was like a critic on my assignments and Mrs. Schoendaller motivated me to do better work,” he said.

Martin is the son of Angela Martin, Humboldt, and Verlon Martin, Oklahoma.

“My mom was somewhat surprised at how easily I made friends when we moved here,” he said. “But, she feels like it was a good choice that we moved. It’s a good environment.”

HUMBOLDT — Two existing businesses are collaborating to create a new business on the square.

Works of Art Studio/ Gallery and Terry’s Flowers are coming together to open The Frame Shop, which will be located in Terry’s Flowers’ north building.

“We were thinking Works of Art needed to have an outlet for framing, but we didn’t have the space to put together frames and mats,” Janie Works said.

“Then Terry walked in with this idea because she has more space than she needed.”

The two will share the building, incorporating both businesses and offering custom framing along with some home décor, managed by Butts.

“Framing lends itself to the home décor business,” Butts said.

“It was a good fit.”

Equipment needed for the full service frame shop was purchased from a closed business and has been moved into the building on the east side of the square.

“We have all kinds of frames, stretchers, mats, equipment and everything we need,” Butts said. “We have a

HUMBOLDT — The student body and staff at Humboldt High School probably think of Kile Martin as “sarcastic and a comedian” in the classroom, so he will incorporate those characteristics into the speech he plans to make during commencement on Saturday.

“When they were looking for a guy to be a speaker at graduation, everyone avoided it like the plague, but then someone said I should do it. I thought I’d take up the speech and throw in some comedy,” Martin said grinning.

His easy-going, playful attitude made it easy for him to make friends at Humboldt High School when he moved here after 8th grade from a small town in Oklahoma.

“I had never transferred (schools) before and was a nervous wreck about it,” Martin said.

“When I first showed up, I started making friends left and right.”

Kristin McClanahan is one of his close friends and they will be sharing the responsibility of addressing the senior class Saturday afternoon.

“I know a lot of people in school and interact with them,” he said.

“When they need help, I help as much as I can.”

Even though Martin, 18, considers history his best class, his love of music influenced his career plans to be a disc jockey. He plays the bass and electric guitar.

“I have a strong relationship with music,” he said. “My grandfather was a musician and my grandmother liked traditional music. I hung out with them a lot when

Christie takes on responsibility of health New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has joined the battle against obesity. The tactic Christie has employed in his own battle is among the most severe, but he deserves credit for realizing he is responsible for his own health.

That is something everyone should acknowledge, and take to heart.

Christie, an obese man by any definition, chose to have gastric banding surgery in February to lose weight. During the surgery, a band was placed around the top of Christie’s stomach to form a small pouch. That restricts the amount of food he can eat at one sitting. Most people who have the surgery feel full after eating a small amount.

Christie has said he wants to lose weight so he is around to enjoy his family for a long time.

Some people have suggested his motivation was a possible presidential bid in 2016.

Regardless, the attempt to improve his health and longevity could serve as an example for others who care to pay attention, although gastric banding shouldn’t be the preferred method for everyone.

No income tax doesn’t ease burden

By DUANE GOOSSEN Kansas Health Institute

A look at the Tax Freedom Day map at right yields interesting information on how the Kansas tax burden compares to other states and should give policymakers something to think about in the final days of the 2013 legislative session as they work to set future tax policy.

Each year the Tax Foundation calculates the Tax Freedom Day for each state — the day when the state’s residents have earned enough money to pay all federal, state and local taxes they owe that year.

Kansas reached its 2013 Tax Freedom Day on April 9, more than a month ago. Connecticut, the last state, arrived at that point just this week. Two Kansas neighbors — Missouri and Oklahoma — reached just days before Kansas, but Kansas was ahead of Nebraska and Colorado.

A more interesting comparison, though, shows the relationship of Kansas to the nine states that do not have a state income tax. Two-thirds of the no-income-tax states — Washington, Wyoming, New Hampshire, Florida, Nevada and Texas — came to their freedom day later than Kansas. Alaska, South Dakota and Tennessee were earlier.

This suggests that even though a state does not have

drinking also are expensive, and avoidable.

A report released in October 2012 by the National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicated 63.7 percent of Kansans were overweight and 29.4 percent were obese. Among high-school age children, 12.4 percent were obese.

A September 2012 report,

by Trust for America’s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, indicated Kansas would be the seventh-most obese state in the nation by 2030, based on the latest obesity rates and trends in each state. The study indicated

of the tax burden?

Policymakers are seriously considering placing Kansas on a zero-income-tax path.

The Senate-passed tax plan, for example, would put more income tax rate cuts into law.

If rates are cut further, collections from some other tax must go up.

How would that work? What are those other sources? What do the zero-income-tax states use to bring money to their budgets? Or, if the income tax revenue is not replaced, what realistic spending cuts can lawmakers apply to balance the budget?

Duane Goossen is a former budget director for the state of Kansas. He now writes for the Kansas Health Institute.

habits can prevent obesity, as well as other illnesses and conditions.

Most people can control their body weight with moderate portions of a nutritious and balanced diet. Some people may also require exercise, but they don’t have to be workout junkies. Low-stress exercise, such as walking, cycling or swimming, can do wonders.

People with addictions to dangerous substances also have that battle to fight, but they should take encourage from those who have done so and taken control of their health.

Letter to the editor Dear community,

an income tax, other taxes may take its place in the overall tax burden that residents bear.

State income tax receipts do not calculate into the revenue mix in these states, but a proportionally higher collection of other taxes does.

Further, this illustrates that if some Americans make decisions about which state to live in based on tax burden, that decision is really much more complicated than only considering whether a state has an income tax or not.

Washington is a no-incometax state, but this year Washingtonians reached their Tax Freedom Day 11 days later than Kansans. Which state is more attractive if the only criteria for the choice is the size

Kansas’ obesity rate could rise to 62.1 percent of all residents by 2030.

Those are distressing numbers and trends, but they don’t have to prevail. Everyone is responsible for his or her own health and adopting healthy

Thank you so much for helping us go to Washington, D.C. to represent Iola High School in the National History Bowl. We are grateful for all the money and time people put in to make such a trip possible.

In the competition itself, we had both a varsity and junior varsity team. The varsity had a record of 2-6, while the JV was 3-7. In its division, the varsity was in a three-way tie for first, but the tie-breaker put us in third.

It was special to us that one of the questions was about our own Frederick Funston. Although we may not have been as successful as we had hoped, we still had a great experience. While on the National Mall, we visited many memorials, monuments and museums.

One of the highlights was being in the balcony of Ford’s Theatre only 10 feet from the box where Abraham Lincoln was shot.

Many of us also got to visit the National Gallery of Art. We saw works by Durer, Calder, Van Gogh, Rembrandt and many others. Each of the monuments amazed us with its size and grandeur. The museums pro-

vided opportunities to learn history outside the classroom. It made us proud to be from Kansas when we saw the large exhibit on Amelia Earhart.

Overall, we learned a lot on our trip. Not only were we further educated in our nation’s history, we also viewed amazing art and witnessed mighty architectural feats. Many on the team had never used a subway or metro before, let alone fly. Furthermore, after being to a large city on the East Coast, we can appreciate Iola so much more.

Again, we thank the community for helping us on our trip. The Whitehead Trust deserves extra special thanks. Our sponsors and teachers Jeff Fehr and Travis Hermstein have earned their thank-yous, not only for taking us to Washington, but also for teaching us and instilling a love of history in each of us.

Sincerely, The IHS History Bowl Team, Jason Tidd, Jordan Strickler, Eli Grover, Cody Cokely, Colton Schubert, Michaela Ingle, Alexis Hobbs, Jonathan Tidd, Travis Hermstein, Andrew Waldman, Ankit Gandhi and Taylor Heslop

HUMBOLDT — Kristin McClanahan lacked only the test scores from two classes to know if she would end her high school career at the top of the class with a grade point average (GPA) of 4.0.

She maintained a 4.0 GPA throughout high school, but at the time of the interview, she still had two tests to complete before the final GPA calculation.

“I always had a goal to be a successful person in life,” McClanahan said.

“I didn’t really set out to be the best in my class, I just wanted to be the best I could be.”

Favoring science and math, she knew she wanted to be in the biology field, but had not determined what area until recently.

“I also like journalism, but I love lab work,” she said. “I was investigating colleges to see what they had to offer and this recruiter guy from Missouri Southern State talked about forensic analysis. When I heard

She thinks Humboldt High School has prepared her for college.

“Most definitely,” she said. “I had strong teacher support here and the way the classes can be set up to get dual credits has prepared me.”

School Counselor, Staci Wiatrak, pointed out admirable qualities in McClanahan as a top student throughout high school. “She is an outstanding student that takes on every challenge.

She is one of those that will prevail. She is tenacious in her endeavors and will be successful.

Mustangs open with romp

Back to Back

It took about a half inning for Iola High’s Mustangs to get their sea legs under them Monday on the baseball diamond.

Iola spotted visiting Anderson County a 3-0 lead by the middle of the first inning before responding in a big way. The Mustangs scored six in the bottom of the inning, one in the second and five in the third of the Class 4A regional tournament.

Tyler Clubine’s single to right field in the bottom of the fifth ended the game via the 10-run mercy rule, 14-4.

can’t go down 3-0 like that in a regional game,” Iola coach Mark Percy said. “You never know if the other gets hot or you just hit line drives at fielders and come up empty.”

In Monday’s case, neither worry came to fruition.

While The Mustangs launched a few blasts from the batter’s box, most of the damage came from forced Anderson County mistakes.

The Bulldogs committed five errors, most coming from fielders hurrying throws in an attempt to gun down Mustang baserunners.

“We take pride in that: running hard and challenging the defense,” Percy said.

Levi Ashmore and Mason

Coons both reached in the first inning on fielding errors by Anderson County’s shortstop to start the Mustang scoring. Aaron Barclay followed with a run-scoring single. Cole Morrison did the same two batters later. Drew Faulhaber was hit by a pitch, leading to Eric Heffern’s RBI single. Ashmore capped the rally with a two-run double, putting the Mustangs on top 6-3.

EL DORADO — Kaden Macha made it 2-for-2 in regional championships.

The Iola High sophomore collected his second straight Class 4A regional title as the top individual golfer by scoring a 1-over-par 72 Monday at El Dorado’s Prairie Trails Golf Course The win was the centerpiece of Iola’s second-place team finish.

By finishing second among 10 schools, Iola qualifies en masse for the Class 4A State Tournament next Monday in Cheney.

This is the second straight year the entire Mustang squad has qualified for state.

“That’s quite an accomplishment for a sophomore to do that,” Iola golf coach Doug Kerr said.

The Mustangs were well suited to handle the course at Prairie Trails and weren’t as affected as some of the other teams as winds picked up late

in the round.

“That was the key,” Kerr said. “We were able to maintain our rounds, while other teams struggled.”

Except for one.

Wichita Collegiate rolled to the team championship by carding a 304, 25 strokes better than Iola’s.

“We were within seven strokes at the turn, but they really turned it on down the stretch,” Kerr said, noting Collegiate’s top four golfers all scored in the 70s. Iola had two such golfers: Macha and Shane Walden, who carded a 79 for eighth place overall.

The top three teams qualify for state. Finishing in third was Trinity Academy of Wichita at 332. Augusta was fourth at 340.

Macha took the lead with a blistering back nine score of 34, but didn’t secure his win until Collegiate’s Camron Chugg lipped out a putt that would have tied the score on See GOLF | Page B2

Fillies drop heart-breaker in extra innings

CHANUTE — Two-out rallies killed Iola High’s chances to advance in the Class 4A regional softball tournament.

The Fillies twice retired the first two Parsons batters in the inning, only to see the Vikings mount sustained rallies.

The clincher came in the top of the eighth, after Iola scored two runs to force extra innings. Starting pitcher Mackenzie Weseloh retired the first two Viking batters in short order, but a trio of costly errors led to a five-run explosion.

Parsons emerged with an 11-6 victory, ending Iola’s season at 4-12.

“That’s been the story all season,” Iola coach Vince Coons said. “We just couldn’t close out innings.”

Iola rebounded from an early 3-0 deficit, taking its first lead on Katie Thompson’s sacrifice fly in the bottom of the fifth inning.

But Parsons rallied for two in the sixth to retake the lead and one in the seventh to go up 6-4.

Iola’s tying rally in the bottom of the seventh was aided by a catcher’s interference call by the umpire, giving Shelby Reno first base. Ashlie Shields followed with a single. Both players stole a base and came around to score on a Parsons error to tie the score at 6-6.

Iola seemed to have full control when Weseloh quickly retired the first two Vi-

Halie Cleaver and Katie Shields ripped two-out RBI singles in the bottom of the fourth to tie the score after Reno reached on an error to start the frame.

Things went south in a hurry.

Parsons’ Syvauna Hinman started the rally with a single to left. The next two batters reached base on Iola fielding errors, leading to two runs.

Libby Hizey followed with a two-run single to put the game out of reach.

“There were a lot of field-

Bagworms are on the way 4-H offers more than you know Bagworms are a yearly pest in our area and can cause considerable damage. Most homeowners typically don’t get too concerned about bagworm control until they see large bags present on plants. By then it is too late and the damage is already done. The time to control bagworms is nearing, so be prepared.

Bagworms overwinter as eggs deposited in the female bags. From midMay through mid-June, larvae hatch from the eggs and exit from the bottom opening of the old bag. Larvae begin constructing their miniature silk-lined bags immediately. Only after the bags have been completed do the larvae begin actual feeding activities. As the larvae grow, so do their bags. By midto-late August, when feeding activities are complete, larvae firmly anchor their bags to the twigs and branches on which they were feeding.

Bagworms are most commonly found on eastern red cedar and junipers. However, bagworms can attack arborvitae, spruce and pine.

Broadleaf trees, shrubs and ornamentals can also serve as a host to bagworms. After bagworms have defoliated a host plant, they are capable of migrating in search of additional food sources. They may attack the same species from which they came or a completely different species.

The damage caused by bagworm feeding can be minimal to severe. As larvae enter their later development stages, they require greater amounts of food. Sometimes in what seems to be just overnight, bagworms can completely defoliate a tree. Several successive years of heavy foliar feeding can result in the death a tree, espe-

Krista Harding Extension Agent for Agriculture cially with conifers.

There are two ways to control bagworms – cultural and chemical. Cultural practice is used by those who do not want to utilize insecticidal sprays to control bagworms. Instead, bagworms are eliminated by handpicking individual bags from plants. This is best done in the winter months when bags stand out against a tree’s background color. Keep in mind that a single missed bag could result in a thousand new bagworm larvae. Of course handpicking becomes impractical when a host is literally covered with bags or it is too tall to make handpicking possible.

Chemical control is most effective when larvae are in their early developmental stages.

Generally, bagworm larvae will begin emerging from the overwintering bag by mid-to late May. Hatching does not happen overnight. Instead, hatching can continue for 4 to 5 weeks. I recommend applying two applications. The first spray should be applied during the last week of May through the first week of June to target those larvae hatched early in the cycle. Now is the time to find the correct insecticide and get the sprayers prepared for the job ahead.

Insecticides commonly used for controlling bagworms include spinosad (Conserve, Fertilome Borer, Bagworm, Leafminer & Tent Caterpillar Spray, Captain Jack’s DeadBug Brew), acephate (Acephate, Orthene), cyfluthrin (Tempo, Bayer MultiInsectKiller) and permethrin (numerous trade names). Also, products containing Bacillus thuringiensis are effective when used against bagworm larvae while they are still small. Controls applied in August are often a waste of time and expense because the larvae are large, tough and may have stopped feeding. Thorough spray coverage to foliage is essential for controlling bagworms.

Recently, I attended a science night in Chanute for elementary students with my coworker Krista. At our table, we displayed a project that youth can participate in throughout 4-H, entomology.

We were a big hit.

I talked a little with each family as they waited to check out the box of bugs. First, I asked if they were familiar with 4-H. Many had not heard of 4-H before, so I told them some key information about the organization and provided them with a brochure. I had a few parents say they were members of 4-H, but really hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t thought about getting their kids involved. I encouraged everyone to do some research on 4-H and consider it.

4-H has some awesome opportunities available to youth.

There are numerous projects of every kind for youth to be a part of, not â&#x20AC;&#x153;just cows and cookies.â&#x20AC;? And, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to live on a farm or in the country to be a member. There are hundreds of kids who are involved in 4-H programs in the inner city.

4-Hers engage in handson learning activities in the areas of science, citizenship and healthy living.

Jennifer Murphy Extension Agent for 4-H

4-H helps young people excel beyond their peers. Tufts University has research to back this statement: The 4-H Study of Positive Youth Development.

According to the research, 4-H youth make healthier choices by showing significantly lower drug, alcohol and cigarette use than their peers. They excel in school and the sciences with reports of better grades, higher levels of academic competence and an elevated level of engagement at school.

4-Hâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ers receive lots of support. With 540,000 volunteers, 3,500 professionals, and more than 60 million alumni, 4-H supports young people from elementary school through high school with programs de-

Books to read in May The legendary TriState tornado of 1925 provides the backdrop for the novel â&#x20AC;&#x153;Falling to Earthâ&#x20AC;? by Kate Southwood. The town of Marah, Ill., is pretty much leveled.

The only family left unscathed is that of Paul Graves, which suffers not even a broken window or a chair out of place. Their lumberyard is also intact. This allows the author to explore such questions as fate, guilt, jealousy, and whether people deserve the evil or good fortune which befall them. Formerly pillars of the community, and generous with their fellow townspeople in the wake of the tornado, the Graves family nevertheless faces other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resentment and, indeed, become pariahs.

MANY

PEOPLE

are familiar with the iconic Depressionera photograph of a young migrant mother perched along the side of the road, worry on her face and two young children leaning on her shoulders.

This photograph is the inspiration for the novel â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mary Coinâ&#x20AC;? by Marisa Silver.

The storyline ties together the struggles of the mother, the photographer who made the choice to leave her own children behind to pursue her career and the current-day professor who discovers a family mystery embedded in the photograph.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like most people, perhaps only about half a dozen. In â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Forgotten Presidents,â&#x20AC;? Michael Gerhardt selects 13 presidents who are now (mostly) little more than names to most people. These are presidents whom Gerhardt believes left a significant constitutional legacy (not necessarily a good one), even though most of them are considered political failures. Martin Van Buren reduced the federal role in the economy and consolidated his power to act independently as president. Zachary Taylor, although a Whig, helped bury the Whig conception of the presidency as a weak minister, and his actions served as a model for Abraham Lincoln.

Franklin Pierceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aggressive attempts to force Kansas Territory to accept a pro-slavery Constitution helped lead to the Civil War. The most recent president he includes is Jimmy Carter.

Minnesota OKs gay marriage ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — With marriages to be available for Minnesota’s gay couples starting Aug. 1, Duluth residents Gary Anderson and Gary Boelhower are getting ready to do something that seemed impossible when they started dating three years ago: plan a wedding.

“The plan is to do it in August, definitely,” Boelhower said Monday, shortly after Minnesota’s Legislature took its final vote in favor of legalizing gay marriage.

Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton has pledged to sign the bill, and is scheduled to do so at 5 p.m. today on the front steps of the Capitol in St. Paul.

“It means the ability to have our love and commitment recognized publicly,” Boelhower said. “To me, that’s what it’s most about.”

Minnesota is set to become the first state in the Midwest to legalize gay marriage by legislative vote, and the third nationwide in just 10 days, joining Rhode Island and Delaware.

Thousands of gay marriage supporters thronging the Capitol erupted into deafening cheers after the Senate’s 37-30 vote; the House passed it last week on a 75-59 vote.

“Members, God made

Senator Scott Dibble of Minneapolis blows a kiss to his husband Richard Leyva from the Senate floor. The Minnesota Senate voted 37-30 to legalize same-sex marriage. gays,” Sen. Ron Latz, a Democrat from a suburb of Minneapolis, said during the Senate’s emotional four-hour debate.

“And God made gays capable of loving other people. So who are we to quarrel with God’s intentions?”

The gay marriage issue shifted quickly in Minnesota, with the Legislature’s vote coming a little more than six months after voters defeated an amendment that would have banned gay marriage in the state constitution. The groups that led the campaign against the amendment swiftly turned to pushing for legalizing samesex marriage, an effort aided when Democrats captured full control of state government in No-

vember.

Only one Republican senator, Branden Petersen of suburban Andover, voted for the bill. Three Democrats from rural districts voted against it.

Republican opponents said the bill alters a centuries-old understanding of marriage as a societal building block that benefits children.

“Forcing others to give you your rights will never end well,” said Sen. Dan Hall, a Republican and a pastor. “It won’t give you the recognition you desire.”

Hall said gay marriage supporters have told him he’s on the wrong side of history but, he said, “the truth is I’m more concerned about being on the right side of eternity.”

Kansas briefs Kansas Senate debating $202M bonds for NBAF

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Kansas Senate plans to debate Gov. Sam Brownback’s proposal to authorize an additional $202 million for a new, national biodefense lab.

Brownback has said the measure on today’s agenda in the Senate will fulfill the state’s commitment to fund part of the cost of the National Bio- and Agro-Defense Facility at Kansas State University.

The new lab would research dangerous animal diseases and replacing an aging facility on Plum Island, N.Y. But its projected cost has more than doubled to $1.15 billion since Kansas landed the project in 2009.

Kansas already has authorized $105 million in bonds for the lab, but President Barack Obama’s latest budget proposal includes $714 million for the project.

State officials pursued the project because it promises more than 300 high-paying jobs.

Over half of wheat showing freeze damage

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A new government report says just under half the Kansas winter wheat crop shows no damage from the hard freezes that hit the state in April.

But Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service also reported Monday the wheat is running about three weeks behind normal development amid unseasonably cool spring tempera-

tures. The agency rated the crop as 21 percent very poor, 20 percent poor, 31 percent fair, 25 percent good and 3 percent excellent.

Farmers took advantage of a few dry days last week to plant and prepare fields, although they’re getting a late start.

Corn planting is running well behind average at only 31 percent complete. Plantings of sorghum, soybeans and cotton were all only 1 percent completed.

Pasture conditions remain poor to very poor across 60 percent of Kansas.

Common Core critics to speak

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Critics of the Kansas Board of Education’s decision to adopt the Common Core Standards for math and reading are preparing to voice their concerns to the panel.

The objections were expected to be raised today at the board’s monthly meeting.

Kansas is among 46 states that have adopted the Common Core Standards, which set out the academic expectations for students from kindergarten through high school. Kansas adopted the standards in 2010 and school districts have begun implementing them in the classrooms and training teachers.

Critics argue that Common Core is too expensive and gives up local districts’ control over education standards to a national consortium.

Supporters say the standards will increase academic rigor.

Beechcraft gets $210M contract

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A unit of Beechcraft Corp. says production will begin this month in Wichita on 35 training aircraft for the military.

Beechcraft Defense Co. on Monday announced the signing of a $210 million contract with the Air Force, under the government’s Joint Primary Aircraft Training System procurement contract.

The contract includes 33 T-6 aircraft for the Navy and two for the Army. It also has an option for two more of the planes.

Beechcraft Defense said the latest contract is the 19th order for T-6 training planes from the military since the joint procurement program began in the late 1990s.

Dole Institute plans birthday

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — The Dole Institute of Politics is planning to celebrate former U.S. Sen. Bob Dole’s 90th birthday as part of its lineup of summer events.

The Lawrence Journal World reports that other activities include an in-depth look at the Battle of Gettysburg.

Director Bill Lacy says that on June 20, the center will bring in a panel of historians and military experts to mark the 150th anniversary of the three-day battle. It was the deadliest of the Civil War and was sfought in July 1863.

Then on July 22, the institute will celebrate Dole’s birthday with an open house.

Beer-drinking tinkerers unite!

Dear Tom and Ray:

I read somewhere that you started out with a garage that people could go to and work on their own cars.

I’ve often thought that I would like to start a shade-tree garage where people like myself, who live in apartments, could go to fix their cars and hang out with other like-minded car guys. Any suggestions for where I should start? I’ve been looking for a garage to rent, but I could use any tips you can lend. Thanks.

-- John TOM: Well, John, first collect a great big pile of money. Then, if you don’t want to spend the time actually starting your own do-it-yourself garage, just throw a match on it.

RAY: We thought this was a great idea, too, back in the day. We saw ourselves standing around in white lab coats, rocking back and forth on our heels, while all around us peo-

ple rented our space and our tools and worked on their cars.

TOM: Then, according to the plan, we’d simply roll the wheelbarrows full of money out the door every night and close up.

Car Talk

Tom and Ray Magliozzi RAY: It didn’t work out that way. It just wasn’t a sustainable business idea for us, and that was in the era before massive computerization, when the average guy could actually fix his car.

TOM: So I think you should approach this as more of a hobby idea.

Start by using Facebook or the Internet to try to identify people in your area who would be interested in tinkering with their cars and hanging out if a facility were available.

RAY: I’d think of it more as a club. You can call it the Rusted Nuts Club. On second thought, make it the Rusted Bolts Club. Then you can brainstorm with your new friends about finding a place you can use once a week or once a month.

TOM: Maybe someone has an outbuilding you guys could use. Or maybe someone knows a guy with a garage who’d be willing to rent it out to you in the evening, when his shop is closed. Of course, you’d have to solve the liability issue, because no insurance company in its right mind would insure this guy’s shop if it included a gang of beer-drinking tinkerers who came in at night to play with the lifts and the acetylene torch.

RAY: If that doesn’t work out, the armed forces maintain “Hobby Shops” on bases around the country where its active and retired personnel can work on

DAILY CRYPTOQUOTES - Here’s how to work it:

Sudoku is like a crossword puzzle, but uses numbers instead of words.

The puzzle is a box of 81 squares, subdivided into 3x3 cubes of 9 squares each. Some squares are filled in with numbers. The rest should be filled in by the puzzler. Fill in the blank squares allowing the numbers 1-9 to appear only once in every row, once in every column and once in every 3x3 box. One-star puzzles are for beginners, and the difficulty gradually increases through the week to a very challenging fivestar puzzle.
