Ready to ‘Make a Deal’

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

Jim Talkington has worn many hats in the Iola community through the years, from his duties as a Shelter Insurance agent, county commissioner, college trustee and high school football and basketball broadcaster.

Talkington will get to do his best Monty Hall impression Saturday evening, as part of the annual Charley Melvin Mad Bomber Run For Your Life festivities.

Since the event’s inaugural running in 2009, Talkington has been at the forefront, serving as the emcee for the

rapid-fire series of activities.

This year’s celebration, which kicks off at 5 p.m. on the west side of the courthouse square, will feature

many of the old standards, from the Parade of Lights after sunset, the ever-popular drag race, and of course the 10K and 5K runs and the 3K walk, all which start after midnight.

The 2016 rendition, meanwhile, has added “Let’s Make a Deal,” an activity fashioned after the popular game show.

Crowd members will be chosen at random. Say, for example, somebody wearing a bobby pin or holding a paper clip may be asked up on stage.

From there, contestants will be offered a series of deals, usually concealed by See MELVIN | Page A4

Josh Honeycutt, former Iola standout in track and field, will compete at 6:45 p.m. Thursday in the triple jump preliminary round in the Olympic Trials.

The event will be televised on NBC Sports Network, channel 78 for Cox Cable subscribers, (channel 159 for Dish Network; channel 220 for DirecTV) and streamed online via the NBCSports.com app.

The finals are set for Saturday.

A $30,000 pledge from the Sunflower Foundation is the first of what organizers hope are several to build a pedestrian bridge across Elm Creek.

The Topeka-based foundation announced in a press release Tuesday it is awarding Iola $30,000 for a “King

With Thrive Allen County spearheading the bridge project, the city would oversee construction and installation of a 150-foot pedestriSee BRIDGE | Page A4

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas cannot cut off Medicaid funding for two Planned Parenthood affiliates, a federal judge said Tuesday.

U.S. District Judge Julie Robinson in Kansas City, Kansas, issued the temporary ruling in a lawsuit filed

by Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri and the organization’s St. Louis regional affiliate.

Robinson wrote that Medicaid patients have “the explicit right to seek family planning services from the qualified provider of their choice.”

The court also noted that Planned Parenthood is likely to succeed on their claim

that the state violated a freechoice provider provision in the Medicaid Act. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment planned to cut off funding by Thursday for health services offered at Planned Parenthood facilities, such as exams and cancer screenings, for poor patients receiving health coverage

“The Governor will continue the fight to make Kansas a pro-life state,” Eileen Hawley, spokeswoman for Gov. Sam Brownback, said in an email. “We will review today’s preliminary ruling and move forward with the litigation.”

Federal courts have blocked attempts by other states to cut off Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood, including Arkansas, Arizona, Indiana, Louisiana and Utah.

Valuation: Good news for county

By BOB JOHNSON The Iola Register

next year’s budget, other than to allow no cuts of consequence would have to be made.

Far and away the biggest player in Allen County’s valuation windfall a year ago was the inclusion of Enbridge Pipeline and its massive pumping station 2 miles southeast of Humboldt. Benefiting most were the county, Allen Community College and Humboldt’s school district.

The county socked away about $2.5 million in reserves and lowered its overall ad valorem tax levy a bit.

The fear of commis-

While financial news has been anything but cheery in Kansas, the state-assessed valuation of utilities for Allen County was much better than commissioners expected.

County Clerk Sherrrie Riebel reported Tuesday morning assessed valuation to support the 2017 budget is $138.3 million. This year’s was $141.1 million; 2015’s $98 million.

Commissioners were not prepared to make any statements regarding what that meant to

sioners was that assessed valuation would fall off because of the price of oil. The pipeline is a conveyor of crude oil.

More information about the effect of valuation numbers will unfold as budgets, for the county and others, are completed this month.

IN OTHER NEWS, commissioners: — Approved a request from David Toland, Thrive Allen County executive director, to keep the Allen County Law Enforcement Center lobby open so its restroom will be

available for those participating in Charley Melvin Mad Bomber Run festivities Saturday evening and early Sunday morning.

— Were told by Carl Slaugh, Iola administrator, plans are developing for the city to run a water line from the courthouse to near the Veterans Wall, where a garden and area for reflection will be developed. Also, a branch from the line will provide water for lawn use on the south side of the courthouse. Slaugh said he anticipated the second line would be recessed to discourage

Home intruder caught napping CONESTOGA, Pa. (AP) — A central Pennsylvania man has pleaded guilty to trespassing in a woman’s house and falling asleep — after leaving her a note telling her not to be alarmed.

Online court records show 28-year-old Robert Sheets, of Holtwood, pleaded guilty to a trespassing citation and a misdemeanor drug charge in the bizarre June 21 incident.

That’s when police say the woman arrived at her Conestoga Township home to find a note on the door saying, “Don’t be scared when you come, Bob is here.”

The woman’s boyfriend told police he knew Sheets, but not well and hadn’t seen him in a long time. The couple hadn’t given Sheets permission to stay at their home.

Robert Lane Robert L. Lane, 96, Iola, passed away Friday, July 1, 2016, at Windsor Place in Iola.

Robert Lorraine Lane was born Sept. 23, 1919, the second oldest child to Homer G. Lane and Eureka L. Smith in Iola. He was a lifelong member of Ward Chapel A.M.E. church, Iola, and was active in a variety of church activities, from serving in the Sunday school, to being a Robert Lane member of the Trustee Board.

Robert served his nation during World War II as a first sergeant with Company B 837th Engineer Aviation Battalion. Robert’s first duties as a military man, along with his unit were to build runways in Greenville, S.C., Italy and Germany. These runways are still in use today. He is also a 50-year member of the Golden Square Lodge No. 71 and past District Deputy Grand Master over the Third District, Prince Hall Master Masons of Kansas.

Robert’s many joys of his life were his wife, Marybelle, son, Stephen (Yvonne), grandchildren and great-grandchildren, Stephanie, Sheldon (Claudia), Colby, Jason and his namesake Robert. Along with spending time with family and friends, Robert could always be found with a fishing pole on a pond bank telling many stories, in his garden harvesting a variety of vegetables, watching a baseball game or chatting with a neighbor.

Visitation will be 6-8 p.m. Friday at Feuerborn Family Funeral Service in Iola. Funeral services will be at 11 a.m. Saturday at Ward Chapel A.M.E. Church in Iola. Burial will follow in Highland Cemetery. Memorials are suggested to Ward Chapel A.M.E. Church and may be left with the funeral home. To leave a condolence online, go to www.iolafuneral.com.

Financial Focus Act Today to Avoid Financial Regrets Tomorrow -

“Regrets? I’ve had a few.” – Frank Sinatra.

Mr. Sinatra, one of the most famous entertainers of the 20th century, did things his way, but he was also familiar with remorse. He’s not alone, of course. We all deal with regrets – and financial ones are among the most troublesome.

Here are the leading financial regrets, according to a recent survey by Bankrate.com, along with some suggestions for avoiding them: • Not saving for retirement early enough – This was the top regret expressed by survey respondents.

Saving and investing early for retirement offers you two key benefits. First, the more time you give growth-oriented investments, the greater their growth potential. And second, by saving and investing for retirement early in your career, you will likely need to put away less money each year than you would if you waited until, say, your 40s or 50s.

So, if you aren’t already doing so, contribute as much as you can afford to your IRA and your 401(k) or similar employer-sponsored plan. And increase your contributions every time your salary rises.

• Not saving enough for emergency expenses – You can’t plan for all expenses. Your furnace might die, your car may need a major repair, you may incur a sizable doctor’s bill – the list goes on and on. If you don’t have the money available to meet these costs, you might be forced to dip into your long-term investments. That’s why it’s important to maintain an emergency fund, containing three to six months’ worth of living expenses, in a liquid, low-risk account.

• Taking on too much credit card debt – If you don’t overuse your credit cards, they can be handy and helpful, in many ways. Try to keep a lid on your credit card debt, keeping in mind that your debt payments reduce the amount of money you have available to invest for your long-term goals, such as a comfortable retirement.

• Not saving enough for children’s education — This may be perhaps the most difficult regret to address – after all, it’s not easy to save for your own retirement and simultaneously put money away for your children’s college educations. However, if you can afford to save for college, try to do so in as advantageous a manner as possible.

• Buying a bigger house than you can afford – If you tie up too much money in mortgage payments, you will have less to contribute to your various retirement accounts. And while home equity certainly has some value, it generally does not provide you with the same liquidity – and probably not the same potential for growth and income – as an investment portfolio that’s appropriate for your needs and risk tolerance.

So, think carefully before purchasing that big house – you might be better served by scaling down your home ownership and ramping up your investments.

You can’t avoid all the doubts and misgivings you’ll encounter at various stages of your life. But if you can reduce those regrets associated with your finances, you could well increase your satisfaction during your retirement years.

House Republicans call for Clinton email investigation WASHINGTON (AP) — Angry House Republicans are announcing plans to investigate after FBI Director James Comey recommended against criminal charges for Hillary Clinton over her handling of classified emails.

House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said Comey’s decision defies explanation and leaves many questions unanswered. He said the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee would be calling Comey to testify.

“The FBI should give us all of their findings,” Ryan told Fox News Channel’s “The Kelly File” on Tuesday. Ryan said Clinton is “competing for commander in chief here, so I think there’s a whole account-

ing that needs to happen.”

Democrats on the committee said Republican leaders of the panel had called an emergency hearing for Thursday.

They attacked the decision as political.

“Republican after Republican praised Director Comey’s impeccable record of independence_right up until the moment he issued his conclusion,” said the committee’s top Democrat, Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland.

“The only emergency here is that yet another Republican conspiracy theory is slipping away.”

In a brief interview this morning, the chairman, Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, said he had spoken with Comey on Tuesday and that his tes-

timony had been longscheduled.

The FBI is supposed to be insulated from partisanship, with directors appointed to serve 10-year terms under legislation passed in 1976 following J. Edgar Hoover’s extraordinary 48-year tenure. Comey is a Republican first nominated to a senior Justice Department post

by George W. Bush, and tapped to lead the FBI in 2013 by President Barack Obama.

But Comey’s declaration that “no charges are appropriate” against Clinton is drawing a deluge of GOP criticism, even though Comey prefaced it by calling Clinton “extremely careless” in her handling of highly sensitive information. He also suggest-

ed she sent emails with information that was classified at the time, contrary to her previous claims.

“What really just mystifies me is the case he makes and then the conclusion he draws and what bothers me about this is the Clintons really are living above the law. They’re being held by different set of standards. That is clearly what this looks like,” Ryan said. “And this is why we’re going to have hearings, and this is why I think that Comey should give us all the publicly available information to see how and why they reached these conclusions.”

Ryan also said the government’s director of national intelligence should block the presumed Democratic presidential nominee’s access to classified information.

The chairman of

the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., also criticized Comey’s conclusions and released a lengthy letter to the director demanding answers to a series of questions about how he reached them.

Rep. Mike Turner of Ohio charged that “the investigation by the FBI is steeped in political bias,” and called for appointment of an independent counsel in the case.

Another House Republican, Paul Gosar of Arizona, tweeted a cartoon of a Monopoly “Get out of jail free” card showing a winged Clinton flying out of a cage labeled “FBI.” Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, a failed GOP presidential contender, declared: “This is an outrage, and the rule of law has been shattered. ... The FBI should be better than this.”

Donald Trump, the presumptive GOP presidential candidate who looks certain to face Democrat Clinton for president, complained that the system is “rigged,” and that “it was no accident that charges were not recommended against Hillary the exact same day as President Obama campaigns with her for the first time.”

Yet Comey’s approach also drew scattered complaints from Democrats who objected to his lengthy criticism of Clinton if he wasn’t going to recommend an indictment. “Once again, Clinton gets worse treatment than anyone else would. I can’t remember an FBI press conference like that when charges declined,” Matthew Miller, a former Justice Department spokesman and Democratic operative and congressional aide, said over Twitter.

Congress on collision course over gun control

By ALAN FRAM The Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Democrats and Republicans seem just as destined for an election-season clash over guns as they did before a Democratic sit-in on the chamber’s floor ushered in lawmakers’ July 4 recess two weeks ago.

Nearly a month after

the Orlando mass-shooting catapulted the issue back onto the nation’s radar, the two parties were meeting separately Wednesday to map strategy.

Republicans have incorporated some gun curbs into a broader bill aimed at addressing domestic terrorism that the House has planned to debate this week, though their plans

The grand prize will be a chauffeured ride in a 1947 Chevrolet Bel Aire through some of Iola’s hot spots, such as Riverside Park or Allen County Regional Hospital — yes, the entire event refuses to take itself too seriously — before dining at the Inn Club and settling in for a movie at Sterling Six Cinemas.

It will be Talkington’s job to encourage participants to choose wisely.

“It should be a lot of fun,” he said.

TALKINGTON’S involvement came in 2009 from a request from David Toland, executive director of Thrive Allen County. Thrive co-sponsors the Melvin run with Allen County Crime Stoppers.

“David, bless his heart, tries to be so organized,” Talkington recalled. “So he hands me this schedule of events, and the precise moment they’re supposed to start.”

Talkington gave the list a once-over, and then discarded it.

“The event pretty much runs itself by now,” he said with a laugh. “I’m just along for the ride.”

There’s an ancillary benefit, Talkington admits. By emceeing the activities — particularly the drag race, in which Iola’s respected gentlemen don women’s clothing of yesteryear for a relay race — Talk-

The bridge would provide a direct link from Iola to the Lehigh Portland Trails complex south of the creek.

The bridge also would enable more than 700 Gates Corporation employees to more easily walk or bike to work.

Coupled with a $20,000 commitment from the Kansas Health Foundation’s Community Engagement Initiative, Thrive now has $50,000 in its quiver to seek other grants — many of which require matching funds — explained David Toland, Thrive executive driector.

The truss bridge was projected to cost about $260,000.

“The first grant dollars of any project are always the hardest to get,” Toland said. “This gives us something to work with.”

ington has yet be asked to wear a dress.

TALKINGTON lists the Parade of Lights as among his favorite Melvin-related activities.

“The kids really seem to get a kick out of it,” he said.

Inflatable attractions will be set up on the courthouse lawn from 5 to 9 p.m.

Free music from Julia Martin will be on the main stage at 5:30, followed by Let’s Make a Deal at 6:40 and live music from Pompous Jack at 7:30.

The Red Carpet arrival of the drag race contestants starts at 8:45 before the Parade of Lights at 9:30 and the drag races at 10:30.

Pompous Jack returns to the free stage at 10:50 for an hour-plus worth of live music.

The 5k run and 3k walk begin at 12:26 a.m.

— the precise moment in which the infamous Melvin used dynamite to blast three local saloons to smithereens on July 10, 1905. (Unexploded dynamite was found at two other saloons in town).

Melvin fled Iola that night — the 5K run traces his steps north to Highland Cemetery before returning to the square — and was picked up about a month later working in a railroad camp in Iowa.

seemed less certain late Tuesday.

Democrats are insisting on amendments tightening gun restrictions far further, which House Speaker Paul Ryan seemed to nix Tuesday, and each party says the other’s proposals are defective.

Ryan, R-Wis., met Tuesday evening with two leaders of the sitin, Reps. John Lewis of Georgia and John Larson of Connecticut. The Democrats said Ryan listened respectfully and mentioned his party’s concerns about protecting gun owners’ rights, but made no promise to allow votes on the Democrats’ proposals.

Asked what Democrats would do if they are denied votes, Lewis, the civil rights hero, wasn’t specific but said: “There will be action. We will not be silent.”

Ryan spokeswoman AshLee Strong said the two parties “have different views on how to achieve a shared goal of preventing gun deaths,” especially over protecting gun owners’ rights. She said the next steps on anti-

restricting guns to the House floor.

The House met tranquilly Tuesday for its first session since Democrats’ near 26-hour sit-in, which seemed to energize Democratic lawmakers and their gun-control allies. Dozens of Democrats delivered speeches championing firearms restrictions, but there were no disturbances.

Republicans, backed by the National Rifle Association, seem intent on preventing any limitations on the constitutional right to bear arms, which they say the Democratic measures would impose. They also said they were investigating Democrats’ behavior during the sit-in, including whether they intimidated House aides and damaged furniture.

Judge: Planned Parenthood funding Continued from A1

terror legislation “will be discussed and determined by the majority in the coming days.”

That seemed less assured than earlier comments from Ryan that the House would vote on the GOP legislation this week. Late Tuesday, Republicans were working to line up GOP support for their own measure, with some having questions about the bill’s procedural protections for gun owners and other concerns.

Despite the uncertainty, GOP leaders’ hopes of staging a vote on their proposal underscored the pressure they’ve felt since the June 12 mass shooting in Orlando, Florida, that left 49 victims dead. Since the 2012 slaying of school children in Newtown, Connecticut, Republicans have not brought any legislation broadly

ing so explicitly, that he wouldn’t allow votes on those proposals.

“The last thing I want to do is incentivize these tactics,” Ryan said Monday on the “Midday with Charlie Sykes” show on WTMU radio in Milwaukee.

The GOP bill would bar many gun sales to terror suspects, but only if federal prosecutors could prove within three days that a terrorist act was afoot. The government would have to cover legal costs for people for whom it unsuccessfully tried to deny firearms.

Republicans say their measure protects peoples’ constitutional right to legal protections, but Democrats say it sets an untenably difficult hurdle that makes the whole proposal unworkable.

“I can’t get my dry cleaning back in 72 hours,” said Rep. Jared Huffman, D-Calif.

That bill would also establish an office within the Department of Homeland Security to focus on what the measure calls “radical Islamist terrorism” within the U.S., and set up modest grants for communities trying to counter such threats.

ed allegations against Planned Parenthood affiliates in Oklahoma and Texas that Planned Parenthood called unfounded.

Planned Parenthood attorneys argue that the organization is being targeted because it provides abortions. Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback, a conservative Republican, is a vocal abortion opponent.

Kansas already has blocked Planned Parenthood from receiving federal family planning dollars for non-abortion services in the state. The affiliate provides both surgical and medication abortions at its clinic in Overland Park, in far eastern Kansas near Kansas City, Missouri. It began providing the medication abortions at its Wichita clinic in March.

Planned Parenthood’s St. Louis affiliate is involved in the lawsuit because its clinic in Joplin, Missouri, serves some Kansas patients.

Kansas initially planned to cut off Medicaid funding on May 10, but the state delayed the action three times after the lawsuit was filed.

Heath department officials have cited videos secretly recorded and released last year by antiabortion activists that show Planned Parenthood officials in other states talking about the handling of fetal tissues. Planned Parenthood officials contend the videos were selectively edited as part of a smear campaign, and two anti-abortion activists involved in the videos have been indicted on criminal charges in Texas.

Brownback last year

directed the state’s medical board, the Kansas Board of Healing Arts, to investigate whether commercial fetal tissue sales were occurring in Kansas.

Planned Parenthood’s Kansas-Mid Missouri affiliate doesn’t have a program for fetal tissue donations, and a board attorney said in January that no action would be taken.

Kansas health officials also cited concerns about Medicaid claims and overbilling raised publicly in November

by Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin, another antiabortion Republican.

Planned Parenthood has said her claims are exaggerated. Oklahoma had threatened to cut off Medicaid funds to two Planned Parenthood affiliates last month but extended it for another year.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Dirty politics right here in River City Free speech, as protected by the First Amendment, is under attack here in Allen County.

According to Allen County Sheriff Bryan Murphy “several” individuals have complained to him of being personally threatened for displaying campaign signs in their yards.

No one has officially filed a complaint, Murphy said, because “they’re too scared.”

It is against the law to intimidate anyone because of their political beliefs. The same goes for withholding or canceling professional services because of one’s political stances.

The second instance was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1996 in a case titled Wabaunsee County v. Umbehr, when a trash collector in Wabaunsee County, Kansas, said his contract with the county had been terminated because of his openly critical stance of the performance of its commission.

The Justices agreed, saying governmental bodies cannot eliminate or threaten the loss of business on the basis of one’s publicly expressed opinions and that the very idea “may chill speech on matters of public concern.”

Certainly, if the Register felt threatened that its business with the county —

printing its public notices and ballots — was in jeopardy because of our editorials, we would feel cornered.

Should we craft only pablum in order to ensure the county’s business?

The law says no and that, in fact, any such intimidation runs afoul of the U.S. Constitution.

KANSAS also has a tainted history when it comes to voter suppression.

Under Secretary of State Kris Kobach the state’s 2016 Spanish-language voter guides gave out the wrong information on how to register to vote and the deadline for registering.

The Spanish-language guide said voters could register up to 15 days before the election, while in fact it’s 21 days, and failed to say a passport meets the criteria as valid proof of identification.

Both errors, which work to suppress voter turnout, occurred only in the Spanish translation and not the English version.

Seniors caught in crosshairs of KS budget In 1989, the Kansas Legislature passed the Senior Care Act to help elderly Kansans live independently and comfortably in their own homes.

The act allocates funds to individuals and organizations that provide in-home care for Kansans who are 60 and older — this includes everything from housekeeping to assistance for people with physical disabilities.

Senior Care Act programs are administered by the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services through 11 area agencies, and they serve about 4,500 Kansans.

Unfortunately for about a quarter of those beneficiaries, the Senior Care Act didn’t escape the most recent wave of budget cuts approved

by Gov. Sam Brownback. Senior Care Act programs lost $2.1 million out of a $7 million budget — a 30 percent reduction. The executive director of the Kansas Association of Area Agencies on Aging and Disabilities, Janis DeBoer, calls this the “largest cut in the history of this program.”

According to estimates from the 11 agencies that offer services funded by the act, the cut will have a negative effect on 1,127 seniors.

IT TAKES courage to stand up to threats and intimidation by obvious and not-so-obvious measures.

But unless they’re called out, such bullies will only feel emboldened to continue such despicable acts.

Together, we can do it.

US should authorize force against Islamic State — and set limits Once again, the world has been reminded of the global threat of Islamic extremism, as news came last week of yet another terrorist attack.

Suicide bombers attacked the Istanbul Ataturk Airport, leaving at least 41 dead and over 200 wounded. Our thoughts are with all those affected by such a senseless act of violence.

In recent years these scenes are becoming all too common.

In just the past eight months, the cities of Brussels, Orlando, Paris and San Bernardino have been shaken by vicious acts of terrorism motivated by a distinct ideology and carried out by those claiming allegiance to the Islamic State. Though it is not confirmed at this time that

the attack in Istanbul follows this directly, it is clearly driven by the same level of disregard for human life and the desire to terrorize innocent people.

Regrettably, the recurrence of such incidents has done little to spark coherent, focused national discussion about what to do about these acts of terror.

The attacks here at home only spurred a predictably partisan agenda and the attacks in Europe have done little to push policymakers into developing an actual set of objectives.

The inability of our political leaders to move beyond polltested, knee-jerk reactions and to thoughtfully engage on what is a matter of life and death for people around the world comes

to the detriment of national and international security.

Contrary to the wishes of Donald Trump, who wants to “fight fire with fire,” banning groups of people from entering the United States or relying on the use of torture does not constitute serious contributions to what is an extremely serious matter.

In the 15 years since the 9/11 attacks, we have learned that the wholesale sacrificing of civil liberties does little to make us safer and even less to undermine the threat of Islamic extremism. If anything, our push for regime change in nations like Libya, Iraq and Syria, without a clear strategy or vision of what comes next,

has only made us less safe.

What is desperately needed is a clear set of objectives for combating those who pose a threat to our national security.

To this end, Congress has abdicated its responsibility to hold substantive discussions about how to deal with the threat of Islamic terrorism.

Instead, Congress has been content to allow President Barack Obama to rely on the 2001 authorization for use of military force against those responsible for the 9/11 attacks to justify seemingly any and all military commitments, without clearly delineated aims or limits.

“If this Congress is serious about winning this war, and

wants to send a message to our troops and the world, authorize the use of military force against ISIL,” directed President Obama of the Congress during his last State of the Union Address. “Take a vote.”

Today, that request seems more reasonable than ever.

Congress must fulfill its constitutional obligations and vote to authorize the use of force against the Islamic State. In so doing, a strategy for defeating this terrorist nation must be mindful of American values and place American national security first. But the time is now. Let’s not wait for things to get worse.

Kobach accused of ‘creating chaos’

By ROXANA HEGEMAN The Associated Press

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Civil rights groups demanded Tuesday in an open letter that Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach rescind his instructions to local election officials to throw out votes cast in upcoming local and state races by tens of thousands of people who registered at motor vehicle offices without providing proof of U.S. citizenship.

The executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Kansas, Micah Kubic, says Kobach is “deliberately creating chaos” for voters and “acting out of petulance.”

At issue is an email sent from Kobach’s office to county election officials last month outlining the state’s plans for implementing a two-tiered election system in the wake of a federal court order requiring Kansas to allow such voters to cast provisional ballots in the federal race. Kobach wants to allow election officials to throw out any provisional ballots in which votes were cast in state and local races and count only votes cast for president and U.S. Senate and House races.

The instructions come despite Shawnee County District Judge

Emma Weseloh

Iola teen takes crown Emma Weseloh was recently crowned “Senior Miss Superstar” at the Star Systems Talent Competition in Kansas City.

The crowning came after she competed in a pair of solo dances, as well as with her group.

She was awarded a trophy and a jacket with her title imprinted on it.

Weseloh studies tap, jazz, ballet, pointe, contemporary, lyrical, hiphop, modern, pom-cheer and musical theater. We-

seloh is the student of Marielle Melvin at Supernova Dance Authority.

Melvin, Supernova owner, was recognized as a “Super Star Systems Teacher.”

Weseloh also serves as an assistant instructor at Supernova. She is the daughter of Travis and Kathy Weseloh, Iola, and will be a junior at Iola High School. She also is a varsity cheerleader and was an AllAmerican Cheerleading Medal winner.

Franklin Theis finding in January that “no authority exists in the Kansas Secretary of State to encumber the voting process.”

Four civil rights organizations — the ACLU, League of Women Voters of Kansas, MainStream Coalition and Women for Kansas — said in their letter that Theis has already twice ruled the secretary of state lacks the legal authority to operate such a two-tiered election system.

“To disregard the court’s ruling and knowingly operate an illegal system would show a troublingly cavalier attitude towards the rule of law, as well as disrespect for voters themselves,” the letter said.

Kobach called the ACLU’s letter “nonsense,” citing the federal court ruling requiring the state to allow voters who registered at motor vehicle offices to vote in the federal elections.

“It is the judge’s order that carves out a special category of voters,” Kobach said in an email.

“Kansas law requires all others to follow our proof-of-citiz enship law. I will continue to enforce and implement Kansas law.”

Kobach contended that as secretary of state he has specific legal authority under Kansas law to ensure the state complies with

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Lawrence police are searching for a man who dragged a police officer with his vehicle while fleeing a traffic stop.

The officer stopped a white Ford Fusion with Missouri plates around 4:45 p.m. Tuesday and somehow became caught up in the car and was dragged when the driver took off.

The officer was taken to a hospital with injuries that were not con-

sidered life-threatening.

The suspect was described as a clean-cut man wearing a blue shirt with a white shirt and red tie.

Topeka City Council, mayor seek raises TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Topeka City Council members said in a nonbinding vote they want to double their pay and that of the city’s mayor.

2017 budget to raise pay for each council member to $20,000 a year — up from the current $10,000 — and for the mayor to be paid $40,000, instead of the current $20,000.

Court upholds case’s dismissal WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A federal appeals court has upheld a judge’s decision throwing out a class-action lawsuit brought by investors against aircraft parts maker Spirit AeroSystems and four of its executives.

The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that the investors failed to show the company or its executives made any material misrepresentations or omissions.

The shareholder lawsuit was filed after an October 2012 announcement that the Wichitabased company had recorded $434.6 million forward losses on three manufacturing contracts. Spirit AeroSystems’ stock price dropped following the announcement.

MLB: Jays 8, Royals 3

Long-ball dooms KC in Toronto

American Legion Baseball: Iola A 8, Wellsville 7; Iola A 12, Wellsville 2

By IAN HARRISON The Associated Press

TORONTO (AP) — No matter what he tries, nothing seems to be working for struggling Royals starter Chris Young.

Josh Donaldson hit two solo home runs, Troy Tulowitzki had a threerun blast and the Toronto Blue Jays connected four times off Young to beat Kansas City 8-3 on Tuesday night.

Young (2-8) matched Runelvys Hernandez’s team record by allowing at least one home run in 13 consecutive starts. Hernandez did it from October 2005 to August 2006.

Young allowed six runs and seven hits in 2 1/3 innings.

Winless in nine starts, Young described his season as “beyond frustrating.”

“My body feels good, it’s just the results haven’t been there,” he said. “It’s a frustrating feeling. I feel like I’ve let the team down and it’s horrible.”

Young (2-8) has surrendered a major league-worst 26 home runs this season.

Manager Ned Yost said Young tried moving to the third-base side of the mound to give him “more deception.”

“At the beginning of the game, it looked like he was real sharp,” Yost said. “He just ran into severe trouble in the third.”

Donaldson connected in the first inning and went back-toback with Ezequiel Carrera in the third. It marked the eighth multihomer game of Donaldson’s career and the fifth time this season the Blue Jays have hit consecutive homers.

Three batters later, Tulowitzki chased Young with his seventh homer in 15 games since returning from the disabled list.

“Mentally it’s tough,” Young said. “I’ve never struggled like this.”

It was the 34th time in team

RALLY IGNITOR Late comeback sparks Indians’ sweep

By JON DYKSTRA The Iola Register

For six innings, the Single-A Indians couldn’t get anything going offensively and appeared to be heading toward their 16th loss of the season.

“We came out very low-energy and it was a rough start,” Iola coach Kris Collins said. “Everyone was lackadaisical.”

Then the bats awoke.

Trailing 7-3 with only three outs left,

first baseman Hunter Preston led off the seventh inning with a double.

After Wellsville recorded an out, Calvin Delich kept the rally hopes alive for Iola by singling.

With Iola’s offense gaining confidence, the frenzied hitting had the opposite effect on Wellsville’s pitching staff. They walked the next three batters and just like that, Iola cut the lead to 7-5 and had the bases filled with Indians and just one out.

“With us, all it takes is one person

to start the spark and after that we all start hitting,” Wyatt Seufert said.

Wellsville made a pitching change and was able to get a second out, leaving Iola’s fate in the hands of left fielder Hunter Baughn.

With Baughn at the plate, Wellsville began to struggle to find the strike zone again and a wild pitch cut the margin to just one run.

Baughn singled to tie the game at seven and send the game to extra inSee INDIANS | Page B6

LENEXA — According to Iola 8-and-under assistant coach Jeff White the team was “a little down” coming into the state tournament last weekend in Lenexa. They certainly didn’t end the weekend that way.

After losing three times the weekend before in Lamar, Mo., to teams they would be facing in the state tournament, the Mustangs were certainly longshots to run the table in

Lenexa and emerge as state champions.

But that is exactly what they did.

Bloody Ramadan BEIRUT (AP) — As Muslims around the world celebrate the end of Ramadan, many are struggling to comprehend a wave of attacks that killed 350 people across several continents during the holy month and made urgent the question of what drives the militants to ever more spectacular violence against civilians.

The diverse, high-profile targets — including

militants who killed 44 at Istanbul airport, to the young men who killed 20 hostages at a popular restaurant in Bangladesh on July 1, such violence highlights how radicals across the world can carry out attacks that are instantly attached to IS, even when the Syriaand Iraq-based group does not formally claim responsibility.

They also underlined the increasingly blurred

In Baghdad, residents hardened by years of war said the July 3 bombing was like no other, trapping shoppers in an inferno of fire that killed at least 175 people in one of the deadliest single attacks since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion.

one that struck the heart of Islam in the month’s final days — underline the warnings of many experts: the Islamic State group, especially when on the defensive at home, will metastasize far beyond its theater of operations.

The extremist group has always sought attention and recruits through brazen terrorism. The projection of daring, operational competence and utter disregard for the norms of its enemies has proven a winning strategy among its disenfranchised and angry followers around the Muslim world.

But having lost the key city of Fallujah in recent weeks, capping a series of setbacks in Iraq, the group is pushing to project strength while also diverting attention from its battlefield humiliations.

“ISIS is waging an existential fight,” said Fawaz Gerges, a Londonbased scholar of jihadi groups, using an alternate acronym for the militant group. “The future of the Islamic State is on the line, and it is trying to maximize the cost for its adversaries and also to inspire this particular segment of young men and women who subscribe to its ideology.”

If the militants needed to send a message, the onset of Ramadan provided a convenient context.

Although the month is a holy time meant for introspection, peace and piety, it has been transformed in the hands of the extremists who have thrived during the recent decades of turbulence around the region, particularly in war zones like Iraq, Afghanistan and more recently in Syria.

Although the vast majority of the faithful regard Ramadan as a time for prayer and forgiveness, militant Muslims and hard-line clerics have been touting the month as a time for victory in jihad, or holy war.

Weeks before Ramadan, IS called for its supporters to strike wherever possible. In a digital age where statements on the internet quickly proliferate, those calls appear to have found resonance among some circles of disenchanted Muslim youth around the globe.

From Omar Mateen, who pledged allegiance to IS as he shot and killed 49 people at a crowded gay nightclub in Orlando on June 12, to the

lines in which attacks, even those stemming from local grievances, could be assigned to IS and be transformed into a global cause. The bloodshed, targeting Muslims and non-Muslims alike, also demonstrates the difficulty in neutralizing a threat that is often inspired and not necessarily directed.

Still, many of the attacks appeared to have involved careful planning, spaced out with targets clearly meant to induce fear and shock across continents.

In Yemen, where suicide bombers and other militants carried out at least seven simultaneous attacks in the southern port city of Mukalla against security targets on June 27, 43 people were killed. In one of the attacks, a bomb was concealed in a box of food brought to soldiers at a checkpoint to break their dawn-to-dusk Ramadan fast.

In the capital of Bangladesh, where attackers killed 22 people at a popular restaurant in an upscale Dhaka neighborhood frequented by diplomats and foreigners, witnesses said the attackers tortured some of the hostages before killing them for failure to recite from the Quran.

In Baghdad, residents hardened by years of war said the July 3 bombing was like no other, trapping shoppers in an inferno of fire that killed at least 175 people in one of the deadliest single attacks since the 2003 U.S.led invasion.

“This is a second Hiroshima and Nagasaki,” said Ammar al-Khafaji, a 50-year-old local from Karada district of Baghdad, where the attack happened. His son lost three of his friends in the bombing.

The wave of attacks culminated Monday with triple suicide bombings in Saudi Arabia, including one outside the Prophet’s Mosque in the city of Medina, one of the holiest sites in Islam that killed four security troops. The nature of the attacks and their apparently coordinated timing suggested the Islamic State group could be to blame, although no one claimed responsibility.

The attacks come as the IS group is increasingly on the defensive in both Syria and Iraq.

Its hold on territory has shrunk in both countries, after losing key strongholds, including the Iraqi city of Fallujah.

Mustangs: Iola wins 8U state title Continued from B1

tum, the rains came.

Saturday’s games were washed out and Iola would have to finish poolplay on Sunday, where the Pittsburg Saints were waiting for them.

The Saints had given the Mustangs two of their losses the weekend before.

Behind some stellar outfield defense, Iola emerged with an 8-5 win and rolled into bracketplay as the No. 2 seed.

“We moved Drake (Weir) from infield to outfield and it helped Henry (White), Lucas (Maier) and those guys, because they didn’t have to cover as much ground,” Roland Weir said. “With Drake having a big arm, we just moved a couple of kids around and it just clicked. We didn’t miss a beat at all.”

The first game of bracket play got going bright and early at 8 a.m., and while Iola was still waking up, the Gardner Stars jumped all over them and built a 10-0 lead going into the third inning.

“We came out and struggled offensively and defensively,” Weir said.

Iola was not willing to have its tournament

end that way, however.

They chipped away at the Gardner lead with runs in the third and fourth innings, before a sevenrun outburst in the fifth inning gave them a 15-10 come-from-behind victory.

But the road didn’t get any easier. In the next round was Pittsburg.

This time Iola built a lead of its own by scoring seven runs in the first frame.

Pitching and defense controlled the game until the fifth inning, when Pittsburg answered with a seven-run fifth to knot the game at seven.

Iola was able to scratch across a run in its half of the inning and shut Pittsburg down in the sixth to escape with an 8-7 win and punch its ticket to the semifinals.

There they faced the No. 1 team in the state, the Shawnee Bulldogs.

Shawnee quickly built a 3-0 advantage, but, once again, Iola showed they don’t have any quit in them. They cut the margin to 6-5 going into the sixth and final inning.

After an out to begin the inning, Iola was staring down elimination, with only two outs to work with.

B3 B3

That’s when the offense got rolling again.

Three straight hits loaded the bases for Kolton Northcutt.

Northcutt ended the game with a two-run double that found the outfield fence. Iola had knocked off the top team in the state to earn a state title game appearance.

The Mustangs squared off with the Overbrook Bombers.

The Mustangs found themselves in a familiar place entering the bottom of the fourth.

Trailing.

The Mustangs rallied with five runs in the inning to turn a 3-1 deficit into a 6-3 advantage.

Jaedon Grenere hit a two-run home run over the center field fence in the fifth inning to provide the final margin of victory.

With their 8-3 win, the Mustangs gave Iola its first ever USSSA state champion.

OTHER RESULTS Iola’s 9-and-under, 11-and-under and 13-andunder teams all competed at state as well.

The 9-and-under team took fifth, while both of the older teams took ninth.

Hosmer, Perez get starting nods for All-Star Game

By RONALD BLUM The Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — After topping the major leagues during the first half of the season as they seek their first title in more than a century, the Chicago Cubs dominated the rosters for next week’s All-Star game.

And the Boston Red Sox, who ended their long drought a decade ago, were not far behind.

The Cubs became the first team since the 1976 Cincinnati Reds’ Big Red Machine to have five players voted as All-Star starters, and seven Chicago players in all were picked Tuesday for the July 12 game at San Diego’s Petco Park.

Chicago’s entire infield was voted in — first baseman Anthony Rizzo, second baseman Ben Zobrist, shortstop Addison Russell and third baseman Kris Bryant — along with center fielder Dexter Fowler, who hopes to recover from a hamstring strain that has sidelined him since June 18. The only other team to start four infielders was the 1963 St. Louis Cardinals.

“It’ll be really cool starting the game and throwing to those guys in San Diego,” Rizzo said.

Rizzo led NL players with 3.2 million votes, and Zobrist won the closest race by finishing 88 votes ahead of Washington’s Daniel Murphy. Jake Arrieta and Jon Lester were selected for the National League pitching staff.

Chicago got off to a 4720 start but has slumped for the past few weeks.

The Cubs have not won the World Series since 1908, but have the secondmost All-Stars in their history behind eight in 2008.

“Make sure you slow it down and enjoy every second of it,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon recalled telling his All-Stars.

The game will feature 11 first-time starters, the most since 2005. In a sign of the sport’s generational change, 12 of the 17 elected starters are 26 or younger.

“It should be a little more special,” said Bryant, who attended the University of San Diego for three years, Boston has six AllStars, including four

starters. Designated hitter David Ortiz, who is retiring at the end of the season, became a 10-time All-Star and is joined in the lineup by a trio of first-timers: shortstop Xander Bogaerts and outfielders Jackie Bradley Jr. and Mookie Betts. Knuckleballer Steven Wright and closer Craig Kimbrel also were selected.

“Four days of rest and chilling is good, but this All-Star Game, I’m going to try to enjoy it the most,” said the 40-yearold Ortiz said, who helped the Red Sox win three titles, including their first in 86 years in 2004.

Wright is a first-time All-Star at age 31.

“I feel like I’m still the same guy,” he said.

Kansas City catcher Salvador Perez and first baseman Eric Hosmer were voted to the AL starting lineup along with Houston second baseman Jose Altuve, Baltimore third baseman Manny Machado and Los Angeles outfielder Mike Trout.

Perez led all players with nearly 4.97 million votes.

“He’s kind of turned into somebody that every-

body loves,” said Royals manager Ned Yost, who will lead the AL. “They love his style of play. They love his energy. They love his production and they like the way that he plays the game.”

San Francisco catcher Buster Posey was elected in the NL along with New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes and Washington outfielder Bryce Harper.

Five Orioles were picked for the AL roster. Beyond Machado, catcher Matt Wieters and outfielder Mark Trumbo are among the reserves, and Brad Brach and Zach Britton are on the pitching staff.

Orioles manager Buck Showalter told Brach’s wife, singer-songwriter Jenae Cherry, to pass along the news to her husband.

“I told her — she’s an up-and-coming country music singer — she should write a song about it,” Showalter said. “I’d buy it.”

Arrieta is among five first-time All-Stars on the NL pitching staff, joined

by New York’s Noah Syndergaard and Jeurys Fa-

milia, the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Kenley Jansen and Miami’s A.J. Ramos.

Other NL pitchers include Washington’s Stephen Strasburg, the Giants’ Madison Bumgarner, the Marlins’ Jose Fernandez and Atlanta’s Julio Teheran. Washington’s Max Scherzer was bypassed.

Jansen entered Tuesday with the second most saves (133) in baseball since the start of 2013.

After being overlooked each of the past few seasons, he had been making plans to spend the break with his family at a beach or Disneyland.

“I wasn’t getting my hopes up and get disappointed again,” he said.

“Now that I finally got a chance, I just appreciate it.”

Andrew Miller and Dellin Betances were picked for the AL bullpen from the New York Yankees’ Run BMC trio but Aroldis Chapman was left off after missing the first 29 games of the season while serving a domestic violence suspension.

Miller and Wright are among seven first-time All-Stars on the AL pitching staff, joined by Brach,

At Home & Away

Tampa Bay’s Alex Colome, Toronto’s Marco Estrada, Brach, Houston’s Will Harris and Cleveland’s Danny Salazar. Other AL pitchers include Chicago’s Chris Sale and Texas’ Cole Hamels.

Petco Park is the second of four straight NL ballparks to host the AllStars, following Cincinnati last year and ahead of Miami in 2017 and Washington in 2018. Because of that, the AL will be the home team, wear white uniforms and use the Padres clubhouse. Wil Myers was the only Padres player picked.

St. Louis’ 1963 infield included first baseman Bill White, second baseman Julian Javier, third baseman Ken Boyer and shortstop Dick Groat. The 1976 Reds’ starters were catcher Johnny Bench, second baseman Joe Morgan, shortstop Dave Concepcion, third baseman Pete Rose and outfielder George Foster.

The AL has won the game three straight times and is 10-3 since the AllStar winner has determined home-field advantage in the World Series.

RHP Marco Estrada will also represent Toronto, while Blue Jays OF Michael Saunders is one of five candidates for the Final Vote competition.

history that the Blue Jays have hit three home runs in an inning. They last did it May 7, 2014, against Philadelphia.

Toronto’s R.A. Dickey (6-9) allowed two runs, none earned, and four hits in seven innings to win for the first time in nine home starts this season. The knuckleballer came in 0-6 with a 5.14 ERA at home.

Yost said Dickey’s knuckleball “was as good as we’ve ever seen it.”

Kansas City’s Cheslor Cuthbert hit a two run homer off Dickey and finished with three RBIs. Named an AL All-Star reserve earlier in the evening, Donaldson has scored 77 runs, a franchise record for runs before the All-Star break. Carlos Delgado had 76 in 2003.

Fellow All-Star Edwin Encarnacion had two hits and an RBI, raising his ML-leading total to 77.

Kansas City lost for the fourth time in five games and dropped to 16-29 on the road.

DAMAGE CONTROL Twenty of the 26 home runs hit off Young have been solo shots.

UP NEXT Royals: RHP Ian Kennedy (6-7, 4.04) starts today’s series finale. Kennedy has allowed 20 home runs, including one in each of his past six starts.

Blue Jays: RHP Marcus Stroman (6-4, 5.08) allowed one run in 6 2/3 innings against Cleveland in his most recent start after allowing 38 earned runs in his previous eight outings.

Pounders was 4-1 with a 2.80 ERA in 19 games at Omaha. To make room for Pounders on the roster, Kansas City designated minor league lefthander Tyler Olson for assignment.

Manager Ned Yost said right-hander Yordano Ventura, who left Sunday’s start in the third inning after he sprained his right ankle running the bases, will throw a side session Wednesday. Ventura remains on track to start Friday against Seattle.

TORONTO (AP) — The Kansas City Royals have placed closer Wade Davis on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right forearm.

Kansas City called up right-hander Brooks Pounders from Triple-A Omaha.

Davis is 1-0 with a 1.23 ERA and 19 saves in 30 games. He is the third Royals All-Star from 2015 on the disabled list, joining third baseman Mike Moustakas (right knee) and outfielder Lorenzo Cain (left hamstring).

Pistorious sentenced to 6 years for murder PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) — Oscar Pistorius, the doubleamputee Olympian described by a judge as a “fallen hero,” was sentenced today to six years in a South African prison for the murder of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, in a ruling viewed by some as too lenient.

However, Judge Thokozile Masipa appeared to anticipate criticism of a jail term that fell far short of the normally mandated 15 years for murder under South African law, declaring: “Our courts are courts of law, not courts of public opinion.”

Pistorius, who shot Steenkamp through the door of a toilet cubicle in his home in 2013, was asked to stand and face Masipa as she announced his sentence in a woodpaneled courtroom in the South African capital, Pretoria. He was calm after the ruling, embracing his aunt and tearful sister before being led down a courtroom staircase to a holding cell ahead of being taken to prison.

Later, a convoy of police cars with lights flashing and sirens wailing left a side entrance of the courthouse. In the convoy was a van with tinted windows, possibly carrying Pistorius.

The sentencing was the latest act of a three-and-a-half year legal drama that has

STAY CONNECTED

often played out on live television and shown the fall from grace of a runner once viewed as an inspiration to many for overcoming his disability. Both of Pistorius’ legs were amputated below the knees when he was 11 months old because of a congenital defect.

He made history by running at the 2012 Olympics on his carbon-fiber running blades, and was one of the world’s most recognizable athletes.

“He’s a fallen hero, he has lost his career and he is ruined financially,” said Masipa, who originally convicted Pistorius of manslaughter, a ruling that was overturned by an appeals court that instead convicted him of murder and sent the case back to her for sentencing.

In explaining the sentence, Masipa said there are “substantial and compelling circumstances” to show leniency toward Pistorius because he is a “good candidate for rehabilitation,” is unlikely to commit another crime and had shown what appeared to be genuine remorse over Steenkamp’s death.

Pistorius, 29, maintained he killed Steenkamp, a 29-year-old model and reality TV star, by mistake thinking she was an intruder hiding in the bathroom early on Valentine’s Day 2013.

A man’s heart deviseth his way Dear Dr. Roach: I am 61, and I ride a bike and paddle a kayak, although not as often as I should. I also weigh more than I should. I come from a family with a long history of heart problems, and recently was diagnosed with mild diastolic dysfunction. What exactly does this mean? Can it have anything to do with the fact that I am almost always tired? What does this mean, long term, for my general health?

— S.C. Answer: There are two phases to the cardiac cycle: systole and diastole. In systole, the chamber is contracting; in diastole, the chamber is filling.

Heart failure used to be thought of as primarily a condition of systolic problems, that the left ventricle is unable to pump out all the blood the body needs. However, we are

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health increasingly realizing that some people can have perfectly normal systolic function but still have symptoms of heart failure, especially fatigue and shortness of breath and especially on exertion. This is now referred to as heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, which sounds like what you may be experiencing.

Diastolic dysfunction can come from high blood pressure, sleep apnea, weighing too much, kidney disease and from rare causes, like amyloid (a condition of abnormal protein deposition).

People with this condition do have an increased risk of death from heart disease, al-

though it is not as bad as the more well-known heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.

Treatment is careful control of any underlying issues (especially blood pressure), and often includes other medications, such as spironolactone. This is a situation where it is worthwhile to find an experienced provider, often a cardiologist.

deficiency in CoQ10, and does taking supplements help?

— A.D.M.

Dear Dr. Roach: I am an 89-year-old male who has been taking simvastatin for years to control high cholesterol. Except for the side effect of muscle pain, it is working.

It is my understanding that taking statins long term can create a deficiency of CoQ10.

My family physician, as well as my cardiologist, says not to worry about it and that CoQ10 supplements do not help. Is there any way to measure a possible

Answer: CoQ10, a vitamin-like substance, can indeed be depleted by metabolism of most statin drugs, including simvastatin. Most of the published evidence has failed to show a benefit from CoQ10, in doses from 120 mg to 600 mg daily, in divided doses. Despite this, I have had some people with muscle pain on statins try CoQ10 supplements, sometimes with success.

This may all be placebo response, but CoQ10 is safe, relatively inexpensive and might be worth a trial. I don’t recommend it as a preventive agent. CoQ10 levels are not generally available.

Two statins, fluvastatin and pravastatin, are metabolized differently, and they are less likely to cause muscle aches than the others.

Indians: Post 15 Single-A completes rally to defeat Wellsville Continued from B1

nings.

Josh Vanatta — who had entered the game early on with the Indians trailing and was tasked with keeping the team in the game — put up another scoreless inning in the eighth.

Iola now had a chance

for a walk-off win.

First at bat, Preston drew a four-pitch walk.

Again Wellsville recovered with a strikeout, but Delich picked up his teammate and singled to put runners on the corners with only one away.

Griffin Vorhees — after scoring one of the runs in the seventh to

keep the game alive — popped out to second base and Wellsville had a chance to extend the game. Seufert was tasked with making sure that didn’t happen as he stepped into the batter’s box.

“It was a pretty big situation,” Seufert said.

“We had to fight back in

Seufert didn’t disappoint his teammates as he laced a single back up the middle and gave Post 15 the 8-7 extra-inning victory.

“It is always good to have a comeback like that,” Collins said. “It gives the whole team energy. It was great to see them not lay down and take another loss with our record where it is at now (5-15). To have that resilience to come back and win a ballgame is really good.”
