Apartment, grocery construction plans updated Nelson Excavating to fill old ACH hole

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

By BOB JOHNSON The Iola Register

Nelson Excavating will begin filling the basement hole at the old Allen County Hospital site this week.

If weather is cooperative, “We can get it done in a couple of weeks,” said Rick Nelson. The company, whose bid of $88,600 was the only received, has 60 calendar days to complete the fill, with rain days excluded.

The contract includes removal of residue, including various sized chunks of concrete, that remain at ground level.

Lifts of dirt will be compacted as the fill goes along, with tests every nine inches to ensure density meets standards. The final course will be two feet of crushed rock.

Completion will have the site ready for G&W Foods to start construction of a grocery store. G&W also has mentioned it may include a hardware adjunct to the grocery, but that is not yet a given.

Meanwhile, Superior Builders is patching up the west wall of the medical arts building that was damaged during razing of the hospital. It also will close off a tunnel that connected hospital and med building.

County Counselor Alan Weber said he was confident site development was on a fast track with Nelson Excavating.

Winds exacerbate wildfires OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Authorities are responding to wildfires in Oklahoma and Kansas that have led to evacuations, scorched mostly rural land and destroyed an unknown number of structures.

In Oklahoma, the largest fire was in the same area near the border with Kansas where blazes last month scorched hundreds of square miles.

Authorities there urged the approximately 300 residents of Freedom, about 170 miles northwest of Oklahoma City, to evacuate their homes on Tuesday afternoon, Woods County Emergency Management Director Steve Foster

Eastgate Lofts, the name given to the new apartment complex under development

by Iola Industries, should be in place and ready for occupancy by late summer or early fall.

David Toland, speaking at a community meeting Tuesday about development projects at the old Allen County Hospital site, said construction of the apartments should begin in early May and will take about four to six months.

“They’ll probably start signing leases around July,” Toland said.

Toland and Jim Gilpin, who attended the meeting on behalf of Iola Industries, spoke extensively about the planned apartments and a G&W Foods grocery store.

Toland is the executive director of Thrive Allen County, which has been hired to provide economic development services for the city, county and Iola Industries.

The grocery store construction should begin in late May or early June, as soon as the hole marking where the old hospital was demolished is filled.

“You’d think filling in a hole is no big deal,” Toland said. “But it’s a complicated effort.”

Crews from Nelson Excavating will bring in layers of soil, which must be compacted and tested in short intervals..

“And it’s a massive hole to fill,” Toland said. “The good news is, the county commission signed the contract at 10 o’clock, and by 2 o’clock this

afternoon, they were working.”

The apartment complex will be divided into two structures, a larger, 12-unit building on the west side of Second Street, over what essentially was the old hospital emergency room parking lot. The eight-unit building will be on the east side of second, over what was the employee parking lot.

All of the apartments will be two-bedroom units. Rent will be based on market rates, and should go for about $650 a month, Toland said.

Iola Industries agreed to purchase the land for the apartments because of what Toland described as a longstanding need for affordable, market-rate housing.

“Gates, in particular — depending on the time — draws employees from between 13 and 17 different counties to fill its labor pool in order to support its operations here,” Toland said. “Our industries need housing for their workers.”

Occupants will enter the apartments from the south.

The apartments will have balconies facing the highway, Toland said.

Construction will be handled by Springfield, Mo.-based Tom Carlson, who built a series of income-based rental homes on what formerly was the Cedarbrook Golf Course in north Iola.

Those houses filled up, but federal income limits largely prohibited most industrial employees from living there.

Gilpin noted the fact that those properties filled so

said.

The fire stalled late Tuesday at the Cimarron River west of Freedom, but Woodward County Emergency Management Director Matt Lehenbauer said early today that winds shifted overnight, diminishing the threat to the town.

But today’s forecast looked tricky for firefighters hoping to contain the blaze.

“We’re expecting wind gusts of 40, 45 mph,” Lehenbauer said. “That’s going to go all through the day and probably not start to subside See FIRES | Page A3

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A Topeka racetrack owner doubts his property will survive if the property tax bill remains high, saying that the facility faces “hundreds of thousands of dollars” in repairs.

Owner Chris Payne declined an interview with The Topeka Capital-Journal, but instead relayed information through his attorney, Wes Carrillo. He said Heartland Park Topeka has deteriorated quickly in the last few years and now has cracked tracks, broken water pipes, perforated roofs and piles of garbage.

Payne estimated that Heartland Park would need to net a profit of $27,000 monthly, or $324,000 yearly. He says that with an annual tax bill of nearly $342,000, he believes the operating cost will surpass the park’s revenue.

“The county must realize that the market for this property has been poor,” Payne said in a written statement Monday. “The condi-

tion is anywhere from extremely poor to even worse.”

Payne appealed the Shawnee County appraiser’s assessment of the property as worth nearly $9 million in March. Steve Bauman, Shawnee County appraiser, said the property has been tax exempt since at least 1993.

But Payne said he doesn’t want tax exempt status and that he’d rather see the property value closer to $2.55 million. He and his business partner, Todd Crossley, paid that amount when their Shelby LLC took control of the park in December. At that value, their company would owe nearly $102,000 in property taxes.

“I’m a taxpayer, my companies are taxpayers,” he said. “Likewise, we both pay property taxes in hopes of supporting our counties’ and cities’ infrastructures, along with the public school districts, police and fire departments.”

new health clinic

PITTSBURG, Kan. (AP) — Construction is expected to begin next month on a new $4.2 million primary care facility in Pittsburg.

Officials from Via Christi Hospital and Joplin’s Mercy Medical Center announced plans Monday for the 13,500-square-foot facility. The Pittsburg Morning Sun reports that it is being built through a joint partnership.

Via Christi Senior Administrator in Pittsburg Randy Cason says the partnership includes a 51 percent share for Via Christi and 49 percent for Mercy.

The facility will be located at the Via Christi Pittsburg campus. Cason says it should initially house four primary care physicians and support staff, with the capacity to eventually house up to nine physicians.

Tree-cutting accident kills Ellis County man A rural Ellis County man was killed Saturday when a tree he was cutting down fell on top of him.

Jarrod P. Depenbush, 39, had been cutting the tree, according to the Salina Journal.

The incident re-

mains under investigation by the Ellis County sheriff ’s office.

Emergency responders from Ellis County EMS, rural fire, emergency management and the Kansas Highway Patrol also assisted in the incident.

California teen dies in model rocket explosion LOS ANGELES (TNS) — An explosion that killed a Thousand Oaks High School student Monday evening and sent another student to the hospital was apparently caused by a “homemade model rocket,” school officials said Tuesday.

Bernard Moon, 18, of Thousand Oaks suffered critical injuries and later died at Los Robles Hospital following the explosion, according to the Ventura County medical examiner’s office.

The second student, who has only been iden-

tified as a 17-year-old, remains hospitalized in stable condition, according to authorities.

“Brilliant boys.

Good boys ... this was just a horrible science project accident gone wrong,” Tammy Coburn, a parent who was at the school after the incident, told KTLATV. Moon, a chemistry buff who had placed second in the Ventura County Science Fair last year, was handling a small propane cylinder at the time of the accident, according to Ventura County Fire

officials.

Sheriff ’s investigators say they are still piecing together exactly what happened.

“Our bomb squad is trying to figure out what the device was,”

Kuredjian said, noting that it did not appear to be store-bought.

“It appears at this point to be some sort of a tragic accident that occurred,” Kuredjian said.

Financial Focus Give Your Investment Portfolio a “Spring Cleaning” Now that spring has officially sprung, you might look around your home and decide it’s time for some sprucing up. But you don’t have to confine your efforts to your house and yard – you can also engage in a little “spring cleaning” in your investment portfolio.

Here are a few suggestions for doing just that: • “Dust off” your investment strategy. Dusting is a big part of spring cleaning. Light fixtures, shelves, windowsills – they can all acquire layers of dust and grime that need to be whisked away. And if you’ve left your investment strategy unexamined for a long period, it too may need to be “dusted off” and reevaluated. Over time, your financial goals, family situation and even risk tolerance can change, so it’s a good idea to review your overall strategy to make sure it’s still appropriate for your needs.

• Get rid of “clutter.” Once you start tidying up your house, you might be surprised at all the “duplicates” you find – a broom in a bedroom, another broom in the laundry room, a third in the garage, and so on.

Just as you probably don’t need multiple brooms, so you may find that you have many versions of the same type of investment in your portfolio. If you own too many of the same investment, and a market downturn affects that particular asset, your portfolio could take a big hit. You may be better off by selling some of the too-similar investments and using the proceeds to diversify your holdings. (However, while diversification can reduce the impact of volatility on your portfolio, it can’t guarantee profits or protect against loss.)

• Remove “stains” on your portfolio. As you clean your carpets and furniture, you might notice some stains that should be removed. And when you look through your portfolio, you might find some “stains” in the form of chronically underperforming investments. Instead of holding on to these vehicles with the hope that they will eventually turn around, you might consider selling them and using the proceeds to purchase new investments, which can help fill any gaps you may have in your holdings.

• Consolidate your accounts. Have you ever discovered a stapler in one drawer, a roll of tape in the linen closet and a bunch of marking pens on your desk? All these items may be useful, but for the sake of efficiency (and to cut down on frustrating searches), you might want to consolidate them in one place. And you could do something similar with your investments. Specifically, if you have some stocks here, a couple of certificates of deposits there, and some IRAs at still another place, you might consider consolidating them with one financial services provider. With all your investments in one place, you could possibly reduce the fees and paperwork associated with maintaining your accounts. And when you eventually start taking withdrawals from your IRA and 401(k), you may find it easier to calculate these required distributions if they’re coming from just one place. But just as importantly, when you consolidate your investments with one provider, you may find it easier to follow a single, unified investment strategy.

So, there you have them – some springcleaning ideas to help you update and energize your investment portfolio. And you won’t even need a dustpan.

until sundown. That’s a huge concern.�

Oklahoma Forestry Services said in a statement that structures had been lost in the fire and in another blaze in the central part of the state.

Spokeswoman Hannah Anderson said damage assessments today would determine how many buildings were destroyed.

Officials estimate the latest fire has burned roughly 40 square miles of rural land. More than a dozen fire departments and Oklahoma Forestry Services are fighting the blaze, Lehenbauer said, and fresh crews were arriving early today to relieve firefighters who had been battling the blaze since Tuesday afternoon.

There were no immediate reports of injuries in either state.

While reporting on the fire for Oklahoma City’s KWTV station, storm trackers Amy and Val Castor saw a road grader traveling in the path of the quickmoving flames. Val Castor said the driver would have no chance to escape the vehicle before the flames reached him, so he drove near the vehicle and urged the driver to jump in their car.

quickly proved “we still needed some market-based housing,” Gilpin said. “We’re responding to that.”

MEANWHILE, G&W has agreed to a number of design stipulations in order to build its supermarket at the old hospital site.

The face must be made of brick, stone or stucco, with window awnings, parapets and other features.

“We just don’t want this to be a square, metal building,” Toland said. “We want this to look good.”

The county — which owns the land until its sold to G&W — has stressed verticality as well.

“We want it to be tall,” Toland said.

“The idea being, before this we had a twostory hospital that was three stories in a couple of places. We want something with a dominant presence on that site.”

Architectural plans are taking shape in order for a building permit to be sought later this month.

The hope is for plans to be finalized and construction to begin as soon as the hole is filled.

Nelson is required

to finish filling the hole within 60 days, perhaps sooner if weather permits.

Original plans were to begin store construction in April and be finished by Thanksgiving.

It’s too soon to tell whether construction will be finished by the end of the year, Toland said. Typically, stores such as the one G&W plans take about eight months to complete.

development of a grocery store and apartment complex is rare in communities Iola’s size, Toland noted.

Even more rare is having such a project done in a residential neighborhood.

“It’s a big deal,” Toland said. “From a practical perspective, all the utilities are there. All the streets are there. That’s money that doesn’t have to be spent developing a site. It makes it a lot more attainable for those trying to make things happen.”

Toland encouraged local tradesman, suppliers and contractors to contact Thrive for information regarding construction.

KC, St. Louis renew earnings tax

By JIM SUHR The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Voters in Missouri’s two biggest cities overwhelmingly renewed a decades-old earnings tax for the second time in five years, siding with their mayors, who warned that losing the hundreds of millions of dollars in yearly revenue could be ruinous.

The tax requires those who work in Kansas City or St. Louis to pay a 1 percent tax on their pay. Because nonresidents also must pay, thousands of commuters from the neighboring states of Kansas and Illinois are affected.

In Kansas City, according to complete but unofficial results, 77 percent of Tuesday’s ballots cast favored reauthorizing

— NOTICE —

the tax, consistent with the approximately 3-to-1 margin of 2011. Seventytwo percent of St. Louis’ ballots signed off on the tax, down from the 88 percent of that city’s voters who backed it five years ago.

Though state law mandates that voters revisit the matter in another five years, mayors in both cities heralded Tuesday’s outcome.

“Enjoy this,” Kansas City Mayor Sly James told supporters at the city’s iconic Union Station. “We still have fights to have. We’re gonna come together when we need to and we’ll fight off anybody who tries to tell us how to run and operate our lives and our city.”

“City voters rejected a very dangerous gamble with our public safety and credit rating,” St.

Louis Mayor Francis Slay added in a statement from across the state. “The people who helped win tonight — as grassroots as you can get — are now poised to do even more great things.”

A rationale behind the tax is that those who work in the cities but don’t live in them still benefit from the municipalities’ police and fire protection, parks and streets — services that supporters pressed would be devastated if the tax went away.

Kansas City generates $230 million a year from the tax, roughly 40 percent of the city budget, while the tax accounts for $164 million, one-third of the operating budget, in St. Louis. Kansas City voters approved a halfpercent earnings tax in

1963 and agreed to raise it to 1 percent in 1970. St. Louis’ 1 percent tax has been in place since 1959.

Opponents — most visibly the “Vote No on the E-Tax” campaign largely bankrolled by St. Louis mega-donor Rex Sinquefield — countered the tax is unfair and drives businesses and workers to the suburbs.

Eliminating it, they pressed, would force the cities to weed out fraud, waste and redundant services.

A message seeking comment through that group’s website Tuesday night was not immediately returned.

Voter rejection of the tax would have phased it out over a decade by onetenth of a percent each year — to critics, plenty of time for the cities to find ways to compensate.

Pipeline remains closed due to oil spill FREEMAN, S.D. (AP) — The Keystone pipeline will likely remain shut down for the rest of the week while officials investigate an apparent oil spill in southeastern South Dakota.

Oil covered a 300-square-foot area in a farm field ditch 4 miles from a Freeman-area pump station, about 40 miles southwest of Sioux Falls. It was discovered Saturday.

TransCanada hasn’t released the amount of oil.

About 100 workers are investigating where the oil came from and removing the contaminated soil. No pipeline damage had been found as of midmorning Tuesday, company spokesman Mark Cooper said.

The pipeline has never had a leak since it began operating in 2010, according to Cooper, though there have been several leaks at pumping stations.

“It’s potentially the first time we’ve seen anything on the pipeline itself,” he said.

The Dakota Rural Action conservation group issued a statement saying it was “more than a little concerning” that TransCanada didn’t inform the public until Monday. Cooper said the company notified landowners and regulators immediately on Saturday, and waited until Monday to notify the public so it had more information available.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

‘One person, one vote’ a touchstone of democracy If you could tailor your electorate, you could pretty much sew up the election.

That’s the essence of a case that made its way to the U.S. Supreme Court and in a unanimous vote Monday was soundly rejected.

In the suit, Evenwel v Abbott, plaintiffs argued that only registered voters should be considered in determining the scope of election districts.

Under the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitu-

tion, however, legislative districts are apportioned by how many people live there, including, of course, minorities, immigrants and children, as determined by the U.S. Census.

The difference as to how the districts are drawn theoretically impacts what decisions are made.

If elected officials are accountable only to registered voters, then their priorities take on a more narrow, and increasingly conservative,

focus. By and large, conservatives are better at registering to vote than the public as a whole.

The challenge to the Constitution’s “One person, one vote” law came from a conservative activist group called Project on Fair Representation, that called for the change in district makeup by voter registrations.

The argument was that in densely populated cities with large numbers of minorities, a voter can have a

disproportionate impact because of the high number of people who don’t vote.

Conversely, in sparsely populated areas where voter registration is typically high, their voting power is diluted.

What the plaintiffs didn’t say, but was as obvious as the nose on your face, was that urban areas with diverse populations typically favor Democrats over Republicans.

If the plaintiffs had won,

the outcome would have forced states to create more legislative districts representing rural and mostly white populations while diminishing the number of urban and racially diverse districts.

THE HIGH COURT said no, that not only should all the people of a region be counted, but also that elected officials should be accountable to those people.

Panama Papers furor will be deafening

Rivalry over casino needs to stop Word came down late Thursday afternoon that Judge Larry D. Hendricks had denied the petition for judicial review put forth by the Cherokee County Commission in the lawsuit against the Kansas Crossing Casino.

The ruling — which essentially tells the Cherokee County Commission “no” for a third time — if anything, is overdue.

This delay has cost the State of Kansas millions in revenue and Crawford County, the City of Pittsburg — and indeed, Cherokee County — hundreds of thousands of dollars all for what amounted to a fit of pique.

Castle Rock, the losing bidder, affronted at losing what was — being generous — an over-optimistic proposal from developers more famil-

A�look�back� � in�time �

60 Years Ago April 3, 1956 A savage tornado roared across Woodson County last night leaving in its wake one dead, eight injured and widespread property damage.

The storm bracketed Toronto but side-stepped the town itself. Ervin E. Reek, 45, whose home was the first in the path of the storm, was killed when the winds demolished his house about a mile west of Toronto. His wife, Helen, 37, was brought to the Allen County Hospital with a broken arm, fractured ribs and multiple cuts and bruises. Their daughter Sharon, 12, received many cuts and bruises and is a patient at the hospital.

Neighbors said that Mrs. Reek and Sharon were carried a quarter of a mile by the severe winds. Others who were injured but expected to recover were Mrs. Calvert Simms, her son, Michael, Mrs. Jack Bogle and Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Gorman.

Other homes that were destroyed included those owned by Calvert Simms, Lewis Windell, J.L. McGee and Lewis Crossfield and Leslie Sherman. Barns and outbuildings on several farms were destroyed and the winds tore up several miles of telephone and power lines.

iar with used cars than casinos, decided to sue; and drag Cherokee County along with it. It was an exciting proposition for a Las Vegas-style resort to rival Downstream.

The only problem was that it was unclear it could meet its debt service.

The Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission wisely went with a proven commodity in the Kansas Crossing proposal, by a company which already operates other casinos in the state.

Castle Rock then sued and convinced Cherokee County to do so as well.

At least one Cherokee County Commissioner tells us he regards this latest defeat as final and, while he cannot speak for the other commissioners, he says as far as he’s concerned the only reason this has gone on

as long as it has is because a Galena businessman has paid the legal fees.

It is still possible that this latest denial could be appealed. If so it would be a travesty.

We are unsure how many more ways Judge Hendricks needs to say “no” but perhaps if the commissioners believe this lawsuit is in the best interest of the citizens of Cherokee County, they should pay for it themselves rather than allowing someone who has a private vested interest in the outcome to foot the bill.

Either way, Hendricks has made clear he believes the gaming commission made the right call. Cherokee County and Castle Rock need to listen.

Commuting drug sentences must inspire prison reform By commuting the prison sentences of 61 drug offenders last week, President Barack Obama has continued the movement to bring sanity to the criminal justice system. With this batch, the president has extended clemency to 248 inmates, and the White House promises more to come this year.

Though the clamor of the presidential campaign has cooled action in recent months, the movement to reform drug sentencing laws has been a rare area of bipartisan cooperation in Congress. For example, U.S. Rep. Bob Goodlatte, a Republican of Virginia, sponsored the Sentencing Reform Act to reduce mandatory minimums for drug offenses and propose other sensible changes. Two other Republicans and three Democrats joined the bill’s introduction, and the cosponsors include 17 Repub-

licans and 46 Democrats. A similar bill in the Senate, sponsored by Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, has bipartisan support.

Drug addiction starts as a disease that leads too many people into crime.

The cost of treatment is far less than what it costs to keep someone in prison.

Incarceration’s ripple effect on a family is even tougher to calculate in dollars, but its trauma to society is farreaching and well-documented.

Once the frenzy of the election is over, voters should insist that the bipartisan cooperation on criminal justice resume.

Reducing the number of nonviolent drug offenders in the prison system not only strikes a blow for justice and humanity but also makes fiscal sense.

Within a day of the first articles appearing, the worldwide fallout from a massive leak of financial documents, dubbed “The Panama Papers,” was already huge, with several countries announcing that they would investigate suspected tax evasion and other wrongdoing.

The journalists who have been combing through the trove allege that around 140 political figures, including Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, and his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, have links to the holders of the offshore accounts through family members, friends or associates. More revelations are expected this week. The furor will only grow.

On April 3 a group of investigative journalists from 78 countries began publishing stories exposing the hidden wealth of national leaders, state officials, celebrities and others, based on emails and other documents from the database of a Panamanian law firm, Mossack Fonseca. These files date back several decades, but the most recent are only a few months old. They contain details of secretive offshore structures used by Mossack’s clients.

The British Virgin Islands is the most popular domicile for their anonymous shell companies, with Panama in second place.

The files were leaked to Süddeutsche Zeitung, a German newspaper, which shared them with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists. The ICIJ has already made several splashes with leaked documents, including the “Lux leaks” files, which exposed sweetheart tax-avoidance deals between multinationals and the government of Luxembourg. But none has been anywhere near as big as this one, or as likely to ensnare public figures.

The uses to which these shell companies, trusts and the like are put range from the perfectly legitimate to tax evasion and, further along the spectrum of miscreancy, the suspected looting of public money. (Mossack has responded to the leak by pointing out that it has never been charged with wrongdoing and insisting it conducts thorough due diligence on those with whom it does business.)

As much as $2 billion of loans and investments has flowed through offshore entities linked to friends and associates of Mr. Putin, according to the ICIJ’s reporting. Among these is Sergei Roldugin, a cellist who is a close friend of the president and godfather to one of his daughters. One of the investments part-owned by Mr. Roldugin is a 12.5 percent stake in Russia’s once largest tele-

vision-advertising agency (which has reportedly never disclosed its ownership); another is 3.9 percent of Bank Rossiya, on which America imposed sanctions after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014.

American officials have described Rossiya as Mr. Putin’s personal bank. A spokesman for Mr. Putin said on April 4 that there was nothing much new in the reporting on the Panama files, and the claims were an example of “Putinophobia.”

On Tuesday, Iceland’s prime minister, Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson, resigned: the files show that he transferred his half share in an offshore company to his wife for the token sum of $1.

He has denied allegations that the vehicle was used to hide a large investment in Icelandic banks. Mr. Gunnlaugsson says he is being subjected to a “witch-hunt.”

Several countries, including Sweden, France and Australia, have already opened investigations.

Australia’s tax authority is reportedly probing more than 800 clients of Mossack Fonseca.

The leak will greatly add to pressure on Panama to adopt emerging global standards on the exchange of tax information, and to enforce new anti-money-laundering laws properly. Among significant tax havens, the Central American country has been one of the slowest to embrace change.

More broadly, the revelations will inject some urgency into a global anti-corruption summit, which is to be held in London in May. David Cameron, Britain’s prime minister, rightly sees murky ownership of offshore shell companies as facilitating financial malfeasance. He has pushed through reforms that will make Britain the first big economy to open a public register that reveals the ultimate beneficial ownership of such outfits later this year.

Unfortunately the idea has been slow to catch on. The Panama leak shows that lax or complicit gatekeepers — the law firms, corporate service providers and accountants that set up and oversee offshore companies — are another big problem.

For those hoping for change, the good news is that, as the public mood toward offshore financial shenanigans dims, more and more employees of financial firms and law firms seem willing to slip hard drives packed with data pointing to dodgy goings-on to the media or other watchdogs. Doing so may break the law, but the justification is that it sometimes takes an illegal act to expose an illegal act. Leaks may be the most powerful weapon in the war on financial secrecy.

Huskies top Orange for fourth straight championship INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Breanna Stewart and UConn stand alone. Geno Auriemma, too, after another flawless season by the dominating Huskies.

UConn won an unprecedented fourth straight national championship Tuesday

night, capping another perfect season by routing Syracuse 8251. Until now, only the UCLA men’s team had won four in a row in Division I, rolling to seven consecutive championships under John Wooden from 1967-73. With Tuesday’s victory, Auriemma passed the

Wizard of Westwood with his 11th national title.

Peerless again.

Perfect again.

“What those 11 championships mean to me is how many great players I’ve had the opportunity to coach,” Auriemma said. “How many great

people have come through the program. It doesn’t matter whose name is above, or whose name I’m under. As long as I have those players in my memory, I’m good.”

Stewart said when she came to campus four years ago that she wanted to win four titles.

She delivered on that promise by scoring 24 points and grabbing 10 rebounds in the final game of her brilliant college career.

“It’s unbelievable,” Stewart said. “That was our goal See HUSKIES | Page B4

GETTING RIGHT Mustang batters break out against Buffalos

By JON DYKSTRA The Iola Register

LA CYGNE — The Mustang baseball team has been desperately trying to shake off its early season offensive funk.

On Tuesday night against Prairie View, the team finally began to show signs that their bats are warming up as they cruised to a pair of big road victories, winning 18-4 and 15-5.

“We’ve kind of been waiting,” Iola coach Mark Percy said. “We had our 50-Inning Fundraiser, where we got a ton of at-bats on Saturday, so I think that helped.”

One of the most promising takeaways from the day was that the team was able to do that without one of its key contributors in the lineup. Junior Ben Cooper has come down sick and will be forced to miss at least a week’s worth of games.

“He’s probably going to be out all week,” Percy said.

Cooper is the team’s No. 2 pitcher and when he isn’t on the mound, he serves as the team’s shortstop.

Luckily for Percy and the Mustangs, a couple of the team’s younger players were ready to take on increased responsibilities.

With Cooper out, Isaac Vink took over

Fillies offense stymied against Prairie View

By JON DYKSTRA The Iola Register

LA CYGNE — Every game is a learning opportunity for Chris Weide’s Iola High Fillies.

The first-year softball coach challenged his group — which faced a 9-0 deficit in the bottom of the fourth — to simply stay in the game against Prairie View on Tuesday.

“That is what we did,” Weide said. “We challenged them in the bottom of the fourth and told them that we are going to play seven innings. We had to play defense and have each other’s back.”

The Fillies (2-4) had struggled to get the bat on the ball

all day against Prairie View’s pair of talented pitchers with Maggie Brown and Madison Kemper, so a comeback seemed unlikely, but Weide wanted to make sure his squad wouldn’t quit.

The Fillies didn’t disappoint their coach. They held Prairie View scoreless over the final two-plus innings and freshman Sierra Snavely threw some of her best pitches of the evening in the final few innings.

The game ended with a 9-0 victory for Prairie View.

“That is the best team we’ve played all year and those are See FILLIES | Page B6

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — After raising a championship banner before their opener Sunday, the Kansas City Royals got their World Series rings in a pregame ceremony Tuesday.

New York Mets righthander Noah Syndergaard helped make sure the celebration ended there.

Syndergaard pitched six dominant innings and the Royals got just three hits in a 2-0 loss to the Mets.

New York fell victim to Kansas City in the 2015 World Series and had to relive those moments this week.

“I didn’t feel for them at all,” Royals center fielder Lorenzo Cain said. “We were world champions last year, just enjoy that process. We’ve got our rings now, so the whole process is over now. So it’s time to turn the page, move on and get better playing baseball and winning baseball.”

Syndergaard allowed three hits, struck out nine and walked one.

“He brought his Agame,” Cain said. “He was locked in the entire game, hats off to him. He did a great job. He kept us off balance the entire game.

We just couldn’t figure him out. He was tough.”

Royals manager Ned Yost heaped praises on Syndergaard.

“His stuff was absolutely

spectacular,” Yost said. “His stuff was unhittable.”

Syndergaard (1-0) was the only pitcher to beat the Royals in the World Series last season, winning Game 3 after intentionally throwing his first pitch above Alcides Escobar’s head. Escobar started this one with a triple, but then Syndergaard struck out the next three batters and retired 12 straight before Kendrys Morales’ double opened the fifth.

Mets manager Terry Collins knew Syndergaard would not be intimated by the hostile surroundings.

“He’s not afraid. He’s 6-7, 250 pounds,” Collins said.

“They don’t have much fear, those kind of guys.”

Syndergaard pitched out of a bases-loaded jam in the sixth, striking out Morales on three swings.

“He threw Morales a 95, 93 and 93 mph slider that there is not a man on this earth I believe could hit any of those pitches,” Yost said. “I even asked George (Brett), ‘Do you think you could even foul any of those off ?’ and he said, ‘No See ROYALS | Page B3

Kansans with disabilities dug in for a long fight to change how Medicaid and private insurers cover long-term care.

More than a dozen people met Tuesday morning at the Topeka Independent Living Resource Center to write letters asking U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts, a Kansas Republican, to co-sponsor Senate Bill 2427, called the Disability Integration Act. Mike Oxford, director of the center, said the bill would classify home and community-based services as a right for people who are elderly or have disabilities. Under current federal law, Medicaid includes a right to care in a nursing facility, but states can decide if they want to offer home services as an alternative and can restrict what services they offer, how much they pay and the number of hours, he said.

The bill also would apply to publicly owned facilities, such as countyowned nursing homes, and long-term care insurance policies sold on the private market, Oxford said. “Right now if you say Medicaid, all Congress wants to talk about is how to cut it,� he said. “This is not just a Medicaid bill, it’s a civil rights bill.�

No one from the offices of Roberts or Sen. Jerry Moran, also a Kansas Republican, responded to questions about their stance on the bill.

Oxford said he doesn’t expect the bill to get through this session of the U.S. Senate, but its sponsor, Sen. Charles Schumer, a New York Democrat, plans to reintroduce it next year.

Kathy Lobb, legisla-

Advocates for Kansans with disabilities delivered letters Tuesday to the Topeka office of U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts, a Kansas Republican. They are asking Roberts to co-sponsor Senate Bill 2427, called the Disability Integration Act. KHI NEWS SERVICE/MEGAN HART tive liaison for the Self Advocate Coalition of Kansas, said many Kansans who have a disability or are elderly don’t have the resources to help them remain in their communities. She receives some assistance through a program that allows her to remain eligible for Medicaid services while earning more income than typically is allowed.

The issue is personal, Lobb said, because she knows what it’s like to live in an institution.

She said she went to a high school for disabled youth in Nebraska that functioned like an institution and didn’t have some basic freedoms until she graduated. “We weren’t able to go out in the community,� she said. “We couldn’t choose when to eat or when to sleep.�

Linda Naugle said Tuesday she was writing to Roberts because offering communitybased services could have helped her mother, who had to go to a nursing home because four hours a day of home care wasn’t enough to meet her medical needs. “She never wanted to leave her home,� Naugle said. “She said, ‘I don’t care if I just lay on my

couch and die, I don’t want a nursing home.’�

Most people will have medical needs or a disability for at least a short time at the end of their lives, Oxford said, so finding ways to serve more people in the setting of their choice will be increasingly important as the population ages. “In another 15, 20 years, there won’t be a family in America that isn’t going through this because of the aging of the baby boomers,� he said.

Other provisions of the bill would: *Require states to plan for an adequate supply of affordable, accessible housing. *Prohibit waiting lists for home and community-based services. *Prohibit cost caps or service limitations. *End the practice of offering different services based on type of disability. *Increase the federal Medicaid match for home and communitybased programs. *Require states to pay “adequate� reimbursement rates for home services. The average hourly wage for home care workers nationwide is about $9.60.

Cruz, Sanders win big in Wisconsin NEW YORK (AP) — Republican Donald Trump emerged from Wisconsin as a damaged front-runner following a crushing loss to rival Ted Cruz, deepening questions about the billionaire businessman’s presidential qualifications and pushing the GOP toward a rare contested convention fight.

Democrat Bernie Sanders also scored a sweeping victory in Wisconsin’s primary that gives him a fresh incentive to keep challenging Hillary Clinton. But Sanders still lags Clinton significantly in the delegate count.

Both parties are turning their sights toward New York, which offers a massive delegate prize in its April 19 contests.

It marks a homecoming of sorts for several candidates, with Trump, Clinton and Sanders all touting roots in the state.

Trump, who has dominated the Republican race for months, suddenly finds himself on the defensive as the campaign moves east.

He’s struggled through a series of missteps, including his campaign manager’s legal issues after an altercation with a female reporter and his own awkward explanation of his position on abortion.

Cruz has stepped for-

ward as the candidate best positioned to block Trump, though it would likely take a convention battle to accomplish that goal. A Texas senator with a complicated relationship with Republican leaders, Cruz cast

Sanders’ win will net him a handful of additional delegates, but he’ll still lag Clinton significantly. With 86 delegates at stake in Wiscon-

“Donald Trump has a real problem when he gets his tail kicked, and that’s exactly what happened tonight.� — Jason Miller, communications director for Sen. Ted Cruz

his Wisconsin victory as a “turning point� in the race and urged the party to rally around his candidacy.

Even if Cruz’s gains do force the GOP race into a contested convention in July, it is unclear whether he would emerge as the nominee, or whether the party would try to put forward someone else.

Trump was unbowed in his defeat. His campaign put out a biting statement accusing Cruz of being “worse than a puppet — he is a Trojan horse, being used by the party bosses attempting to steal the nomination from Mr. Trump.�

In response, Cruz’ communications director Jason Miller said late Tuesday that “Donald Trump has a real problem when he

sin, Sanders will pick up at least 47 and Clinton will gain at least 36.

That means Sanders must still win 68 percent of the remaining delegates and uncommitted superdelegates in order to win the Democratic nomination.

Clinton’s campaign has cast her overall lead as nearly insurmountable. Yet Sanders’ continued presence in the race has become an irritant for Clinton, keeping her from turning her attention to the general election.

In the Republican race, Trump still has a narrow path to claim the nomination by the end of the primaries on June 7. But by losing Wisconsin, the real estate mogul has little room for error in upcoming contests.

way.’”

The Royals went 0 for 7 with runners in scoring position.

The Mets acquired Neil Walker in a December trade with Pittsburgh, and he got his first homer off Chris Young (0-1) in the fourth after Yoenis Cespedes walked. That was the first hit Young allowed.

“I tried to throw a fastball away, behind in the

count 1-0,” Young said.

“He put a good swing on it and that was the difference in the game. I got outpitched.”

Young was pulled after five innings and 93 pitches, allowing three hits and three walks while striking out four.

The Mets loaded the bases in the seventh on two walks and a single, but Luke Hochevar retired Cespedes on a fly ball to Escobar to end

the threat.

Jeurys Familia, who blew all three save opportunities he had in the 2015 World Series, pitched a spotless ninth for his first save this season.

TRAINER’S ROOM Royals: RHP Greg Holland had Tommy John surgery last September and remains unsigned as a free agent, but he was back for the pregame World Series ring cere-

mony. He said he is throwing 60 feet in Arizona and hopes to sign with a club soon, although it is unlikely he will pitch this season.

Mustangs: Iola sweeps past Prairie View Continued from B1

shortstop and stepped up in the batting lineup.

“We practice those guys at different positions,” Percy said. “We suited up (freshman) Kane Rogers tonight, too, so I feel good about every position having at least two people at it. Of course, when Ben is out that puts a little bit of stress on it.”

Vink was joined in the Iola middle-infield

by Derek Bycroft, who has excelled early in his career. The freshman has not only been the Mustang starter at second base all season, but he has also joined Vink at the top of the line-up and the leadoff-hitter has been one of the Mustang’s best batters in the early going this season.

“He is a freshman, but he doesn’t look like it,” Percy said. “His confidence level and his baseball I.Q. help him play because he knows the game. That goes back to his dad (Luke Bycroft) and the traveling teams he played on. That helps us because we have enough to teach them as it is. If they know the game a little bit, it is just huge.”

Bycroft faced another new challenge on Tuesday with Cooper sidelined. The freshman got the start on the mound in the second game of the doubleheader.

Iola sophomore Isaac Vink fields a ball at shortstop and begins to throw it across the field in Tuesday’s doubleheader with Prairie View. Vink was filling in at shortstop for a sick Ben Cooper. Iola swept Prairie View. REGISTER/JON DYKSTRA Mustang ace Ethan Scheibmeir threw a complete-game in game one to give Percy a full-complement of bullpen arms to lean on if the young pitcher should struggle in game two.

Bycroft made sure that Percy wasn’t going to have to worry about making that decision.

The offense got Bycroft an early advantage and the freshman quickly settled in and pounded the strike zone with pitches. Entering the bottom of the fifth, Iola had built a 15-3 lead and the only question left was if Prairie View

could get enough runs off of Bycroft to lengthen the game and avoid the 10-run rule.

The answer to that question was no. Bycroft surrendered two in the fifth and Prairie View had a runner at third with two outs, but he was able to buckle down and get a strikeout of the final Prairie View hitter to end the game in just five innings.

“For sending a freshman out there for his first start, he is a competitor and he is going to give you everything he has got,” Percy said.

“Both guys threw too

many pitches. They were both up in the 90s which I don’t want this time of the year. They will be all right though and we won’t throw them Friday of course.”

The offense will be key again on Friday when the team hosts Independence and likely without the services of Cooper.

Bycroft and Scheibmeir also won’t pitch so the Iola hurlers will once again be tested.

Vink figures to get one of the starts on Friday, and the other will likely go to everyday-catcher Coleson Wiggin.

“We’ve got a couple of guys that have thrown in the J.V. game on Monday that can be ready for Friday,” Percy said. “It is just going to be whoever steps up” to keep the solid pitching going.

Percy also hopes some of his veteran hitters that had a good day Tuesday can use that as a springboard to get their seasons turned around.

“We’ve just been waiting,” Percy said. “It doesn’t matter where they hit. We move them down sometimes to get some pitches to hit and take some pressure off them. We are going to do that all year. If somebody is struggling, we can move them down to the eight- or nine-hole and once they start ripping the ball again, they will move back up.”

Huskies: UConn gets fourth-straight Continued from B1

coming in here once we were freshman and to carry it out and win like this as seniors is unbelievable.”

Stewart and her fellow seniors Morgan Tuck and Moriah Jefferson posed on the ladder after cutting down the net for the final time. Mission accomplished.

“It wasn’t a sense of relief, it was a sense of success. This is exactly what we wanted,” Stewart said.

“Going into every one of our national championship runs, we were confident and that’s what we were tonight, confident.

We made history and to be able to say that we did that with those two guys, we’re going to remember that forever.”

The Huskies (38-0) have been nearly unbeatable since Stewart arrived.

They lost four games her freshman year and only one since. The win over Syracuse was the 75th straight for UConn, all by double figures. Stewart and her fellow seniors went 24-0 in NCAA tourney games, too.

Stewart earned the most outstanding player of the Final Four all four years of her career. No other women’s player has won it more than twice and only Lew Alcindor did it three times on the men’s side.

The three-time AP Player of the Year has said it is up to others to decide her place in women’s college basketball lore. There is no denying she is the most accomplished player ever, winning more titles than fellow UConn greats Diana Taurasi and Maya Moore, who watched from the stands at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

“I’ll say this. She’s the greatest NCAA Tournament player I’ve ever been around,” Auriemma said.

“When the lights were the brightest, that’s (when) she was at her best.”

Fillies: Offense held to one hit twice against Prairie View Sophomore Chloe Gardner drew the other walk against Brown.

The Fillies return to the friendly confines of Riverside Park on Friday and will look for a bounce-back performance against Independence. “It is a confidence deal,� Weide said. “I told them at the end of the game, there is no magic elixir to fix where we are at and it is not where we are at now (that matters).

It is where we are at the end of the year that matters. That is where we want to peak. “I am not giving up on them and if they don’t give up on each other, we are going to be fine.�

Iola junior varsity pitcher Mia Aronson cuts in front of a teammate to catch a pop out against Prairie View on Tuesday. REGISTER/JON DYKSTRA Continued from B1

the best two pitchers we’ve faced all year,�

Weide said.

Kemper threw a complete-game and allowed only one hit in the shutout performance. Iola junior Jadyn Sigg broke up the no-hit bid with a single in the seventh inning with two outs. “We had a rough day, but we just have to keep working,� Weide said. “We have to go to practice tomorrow and work on hitting and keep working on hitting. We will get better.�

Despite falling short on the scoreboard, Iola’s leaders on the field proved to Weide that they are not quitters, no matter the score.

Senior Ashlie Shields is one of those leaders of the young bunch of Fillies and works to instill that attitude into her less-experienced teammates. Weide says his catcher’s leadership has been invaluable already this season and she has continued to improve defensively. “Shields caught the best game she has all year,� Weide said. “She keeps Sierra (Snavely) positive as well. She is doing a great job behind the plate.�

Game two was a very similar story offensively for the Fillies. Brown controlled the game for Prairie View from start to finish and shut down the Fillies offense.

Prairie View earned the 6-1 win, despite Snavely’s solid pitching throughout the game. “I think she pitched well overall,� Weide said. “We just couldn’t catch a break. They had a couple of seeing-eye singles and bloops. Those are just breaks we didn’t get.�

Iola’s run came in the sixth inning when Scout Rush led-off with a walk.

Junior Toni Macha’s single scored Rush just two batters later.

Macha’s hit was the only one the Fillies’ offense was able to muster against Brown. The Prairie View pitcher threw a complete game and allowed only two walks.

THE JUNIOR varsity Fillies waged an offensive battle with Prairie View’s junior varsity in game two of their doubleheader, but eventually fell by a 15-11 score.

Iola assistant coach Becky Carlson was very pleased with the way her team performed, even if the final result didn’t add up to a win. “We were down 8-2 and came back to get the lead,� Carlson said. “Our base-running was amazing.�

Carlson was happy with the fight the team displayed. “I was impressed with the way they didn’t give up,� Carlson said. “That is one thing about Iola kids, they just keep coming.�

The first game was

very different for both teams as the top pitchers for each side controlled the game much better, but the Prairie View offense eventually broke through and they rolled to a 10-0 victory.

Mia Aronson pitched both games for Iola and even though the second game was a high-scoring affair, Carlson was satisfied with the way her pitcher was able to throw strikes throughout the game and avoid walks. “They had 15 runs (in the second game), but
