AERIAL RESCUE

What to do with the old county hospital, which will become vacant by mid-fall when Allen County Regional Hospital opens on North Kentucky Street, is more on the minds of commissioners.

“We should be out of the hospital (First and Madison streets) by Nov. 1,” said County Counselor Alan Weber, who has coordinated activities of hospital trustees.

“What do we do then,” was the accumulative question of Weber and commissioners Friday morning.

Weber said a firm in Topeka that specializes in redeveloping old properties

Antique plane salvaged

By BOB JOHNSON bob@iolaregister.com

The skeleton of an airplane constructed in the loft of the old Iola Planing Mill, 404 North St., took flight — after a fashion — for the first time ever Tuesday evening.

The plane was constructed in 1929 by Iolans Wayne Jeffers and Melvin Burns, complete with wings made of spruce and delicate thin spruce ribs

carefully tied with thread to the fuselage of tubing. It was a four-seat monoplane with a 44-foot wingspan.

Otis Ayling owned the mill — many cabinets in older Iola homes have his stamp on them — and Jeffers was his brotherin-law, which led them to use the loft.

For whatever reason, the plane never budged from the

loft. It’s likely Wall Street’s crash and the beginning of the Great Depression in the fall of 1929 turned the men’s attention elsewhere.

During the 1930s Ayling and others scrounged for whatever work they could find to survive, forcing them to forego leisurely pursuits. The spruce wings disappeared — maybe See AIRPLANE | Page A5

Budget requests heard at meeting

By BOB JOHNSON bob@iolaregister.com

Elyssa Jackson, museum curator and executive director of the Allen County Historical Society, asked Allen County commissioners to increase the society’s support in the 2014 budget from $24,500 to $26,500.

“One of the most important things about an increase in funding for the historical society is that Allen County taxpayers will be able to see

their tax monies spent locally and will be able to reap the benefits directly from what the society provides,” Jackson said.

“This will include more school programming for kindergarten through 12th graders in each Allen County school district, as well as home-schooled children,” she said. The society will “continue public educational events such as our See BUDGET | Page A5

Youth taking mission into Deep South

By STEVEN SCHWARTZ steven@iolaregister.com

Allen County is taking Atlanta by storm this summer, on a mission to help those in need.

Youth Works, a Christian mission group, is made up of 23 youths and five leaders from area churches. The group will be serving in Atlanta July 2029. They will have the chance to work in a restaurant-style soup kitchen, a furniture donation outlet and different children’s groups.

“It brings you closer to God, and makes you feel good about yourself,” group member Karlie Lower said.

Members have been planning their trip since September, and are nearing their goal of $18,000 for expenses — around $700 per student. They will be hosting a rummage sale and bake sale from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday at Wesley United Methodist Church in Iola.

All of the youths are Iola High School students, with the exception of one student See ATLANTA | Page A5

It’s been just two weeks since SAFE BASE’s summer program kicked off. The youths have slept in a zoo, come face-to-face with wild animals — and now, they have had the opportunity to experience Mark Twain’s old stomping grounds firsthand.

The students and staff, 88 in total, walked up over the levy in Hannibal, Mo., on June 12 and caught their first glimpse of the Mississippi River. That’s when their jaws dropped.

“It seemed a little bit like a unifying moment, when we saw the river for the first time,” SAFE BASE Director Angela Henry said. “It was

Europe rethinks its pursuit of austerity

Having austerity be the main focus across Europe has been a mistake. There needs to be a wholesale different approach to this crisis.

— Megan Greene, chief economist with Maverick Intelligence

“

LONDON — After years of unrelenting austerity, Europe seems to have turned a corner on its debt crisis — right into a dead-end street.

Since the turmoil erupted in 2009, countries from Ireland to Greece have focused almost exclusively on slashing budget deficits and debt as the road back to economic health. Prodded by Germany and its insistence on fiscal virtue, governments elsewhere have fired workers, chopped welfare benefits and shelved big-ticket projects, turning the continent into what some call one giant “Austerity-land.”

But officials are discovering something many people know already: Crash diets seldom work, and often make things worse.

The punishing spending cuts have stifled consumer demand and economic growth, not spurred it. The 17 nations that share the euro are now stuck in their longest collective recession since the currency’s creation more than a decade ago. As their economies shrink, countries have seen their debt ratios climb, not fall — the exact opposite of what eurozone officials said would happen.

And in countries such as Spain and Greece, where a majority of young people are out of work and increasingly out of hope, the prospect of a lost generation looms uncomfortably large. New statistics released late last month showed that

million people.

“Having austerity be the main focus across Europe has been a mistake,” said Megan Greene, chief economist at Maverick Intelligence, a London-based consultancy.

“There needs to be a wholesale different approach to this crisis.”

Public patience with continued belt-tightening is wearing thin as misery increases and as officials repeatedly push their predictions of economic recovery further into the future.

Street protests are commonplace, including one in late May by hundreds of demonstrators who blocked roads leading to the headquarters of the European Central Bank in Frankfurt, Germany.

The pressure may fi-

tably in Berlin and at European Union headquarters in Brussels, are rethinking their dogmatic pursuit of spending cutbacks and balanced budgets.

“While I think this policy is fundamentally right, I think it has reached its limits,” Jose Manuel Barroso, president of the European Commission, said in April. “We cannot apply a one-size-fits-all program to the European countries.”

Economists, U.S. officials and the International Monetary Fund have all been making that same argument for months, urging the EU to lighten up on austerity, or at least temper it with an emphasis on growth, especially in the worst-hit countries.

Earlier this month,

the International Monetary Fund released a report saying that Greece’s first multibillion-dollar bailout in 2010, which the agency signed off on, was flawed. Among the mistakes were an overly optimistic assessment that Greece’s debt burden would be sustainable and a failure to see that the country would slide into a devastating depression as a result of excessive austerity.

Advocates of a more nuanced policy note that U.S. economic performance has easily outpaced Europe’s and that Japan is witnessing a comeback. Both nations’ central banks have sought to stimulate their economies by, in effect, printing money.

In Europe, by contrast, recession has begun to spread from ailing countries in the south to the sturdier economies of the north, such as the Netherlands. Even powerhouse Germany is flat-lining.

Many experts say it’s long past time for more robust European nations to foster demand — for example, by allowing wages to rise — to offset flagging demand among their neighbors.

PHILADELPHIA — If you were unaware caffeine was creeping into foods until last month, when Wrigley was blasted for putting the stimulant in a new gum, here’s the latest buzz.

The growing list of so-called energy foods includes such famous names as Frito-Lay’s Cracker Jack’D. There’s also Jelly Belly Extreme Sport Beans, Hershey’s Ice Breakers Energy mints, and Kraft Foods MiO Energy liquid water enhancer.

Caffeine can now be consumed in waffles, maple syrup, cookies, gums, gummi bears, popcorn, marshmallows, hot sauce, jerky — and more — made by small Internet entrepreneurs.

Even the Food and Drug Administration was only vaguely aware of this trend. For one thing, these are novelty and niche products that aren’t on grocers’ shelves yet. For another, manufacturers don’t have to tell the agency when they add the habit-forming, potentially toxic chemical to foods — not even candy and snacks likely to appeal to children.

All the makers have to do is list caffeine as an ingredient on the label. The total amount?

They needn’t say.

As caffeinated foods come on the market, “we’ve got no heads-up about them,” said Michael R. Taylor, deputy commissioner for foods and veterinary medicine at FDA. Wrigley’s Alert gum was the tipping point.

Calling it “one more unfortunate example,” Taylor said the FDA would investigate the safety of caffeine in foods, particularly the effects on children and teens. He anticipates a crackdown.

A regulatory buzzkill won’t be quick or easy. So-called energy foods reflect cultural, commercial, and consumer factors, just like two other public health betes noires — caffeinated energy drinks and sugary sodas. Although Wrigley promptly said it would “pause” production of its Alert gum

“out of respect” for the FDA, other companies are showing no such restraint.

“Until we’re able to marshal the (scientific) evidence to take regulatory action, it’s the decision of these companies whether they should be marketing these products,” Taylor said.

Along with reams of research on coffee, the FDA and its advisers will no doubt review data on a newer source of zip: energy drinks.

A tsunami of brands flooded the U.S. market after Red Bull’s 1997 debut, with many sold as dietary supplements, a barely regulated category. This year, projections are that $19 billion worth of energy drinks will be glugged, mostly by adolescents and young adults.

In moderate amounts, caffeine can ward off

Many products marketed as “energy” foods, such as Jolt Energy Gum, contain caffeine which finds itself sneaking into more and more edibles. drowsiness and improve alertness. Caffeinated coffee, studies suggest, reduces the risk of gallstones, Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, and suicide.

BUT MODERATION

is not the mantra of energy drinks and shots, or of its main customers — young males. With names like Full Throttle, Monster, Rockstar, and Hardcore Energize Bullet, these quaffs typically have two to seven times as much caffeine as a can of cola.

Colas are the only foods with an FDA caffeine limit — 71 milligrams in a 12-ounce can — although most brands have far less. In comparison, a 5-ounce cup of coffee has about twice as much on average, or 115 milligrams.

Studies have linked energy-drink consumption to inadequate sleep, obesity, bad grades, depression, risky behavior such as unsafe sex, and “toxic jock identity” (basically, belligerence).

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Talent best when it’s homegrown This is the chatter in a successful business: “Let’s do this.”

“Is this wrong?”

“What do you think?”

“Try this, it may work better.”

“Let’s get it right.”

NOTICE THE tools used.

Questions. Answers. Advice. A sharing of experiences. A common goal.

That’s how good employees and good companies are grown.

In small towns like Iola, business owners learn the importance of “growing” employees, because they’re not exactly ripe for the picking. Most college grads have their sights set on metropolitan areas that offer a wide selection of job opportunities, entertainment and a bigger social scene.

From experience, small town employers know that to keep new recruits, they need to demonstrate how they can grow with the business, not only in pay but in experience.

The best way to show a bright future for an employee is for a company’s leaders to be passionate about what they do. Excitement is contagious. Same for high expectations. A boss who gives his best, shows a standard of leadership that ignites the workplace.

Successful leadership includes hiring and firing to get the right balance. And yes, it’s much easier to hire

than to fire.

But if the goal is a superior product, then leaders recognize that can happen only when the best talent is secured and when that talent can operate in an environment conducive to hard work and teamwork. So weed out the bitter, the lazy, the incompetent — with a clean conscience. Experience shows it’s a blessing for both sides of the table.

Being able to work as a team should not be underestimated. No man is an island — especially when part of a company.

Small businesses are much like families — for good and bad. What makes you go to the reunion, the funeral, the recital, the wedding, the birthday party — it’s what families do.

In a family-style business, employees have a sense of responsibility to not only the product, but also the overall success of the business. For many a local entity, it’s a sink-orswim affair.

This, of course, is what makes work rewarding.

You are valued, you are needed, you are challenged.

ALL OF THE ABOVE applies to effective churches, classrooms, team sports, group activities, organizations and communities. We all can make a difference to their success.

And that’s a good thing.

— Susan Lynn

A promising moment in Iran The election of Hassan Rowhani as Iran’s next president creates an opportunity to move forward on a negotiated agreement to stop Iran’s nuclear weapons program and to begin to repair three decades of hostility with the United States. The question is whether Mr. Rowhani and President Obama have the political skill and courage to make it happen.

Whether Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, will allow such an outcome is unknown. But, for whatever reason, he did allow Mr. Rowhani to run in last Friday’s election and accepted the results, in which Mr. Rowhani, considered the most moderate of the six candidates, trounced the hard-liners. Mr. Rowhani, a cleric, has deep roots in the conservative establishment, but he is also pragmatic. His campaign pledge to work to end the impasse with the West over the nuclear issue and the sanctions, imposed because of the impasse, resonated with voters fed up with a badly devalued currency, a battered

Failure to deliver at the DMV Drivers in more populous cities experiencing daylong waits

Renewing a driver’s license shouldn’t take multiple attempts and a wait of three, four or five hours. That it does for many people in the Wichita area these days is a failure to deliver one of the most basic of government services.

And the time- and productivity-wasting lines don’t bode well for “Phase Two” implementation of the state’s new $40 million motor-vehicle computer system, to incorporate driver’s licensing.

Continuing to withhold $2 million of the state’s $25 million contract with 3M because of the computer woes is a good step, to hold 3M accountable, but there has to be more the

state can do.

The delays aren’t getting the media attention that accompanied Phase One of the Division of Vehicles’ computer system upgrade, which has been in the works since 2006.

Last summer people newly encountered daylong waits for tags and titles in several populous counties. Lines for driver’s licenses seemed long then, too — something the state blamed on the antiquated computer system.

A year later, with Phase Two still pending, “the system is running within normal parameters, and any issues we’re seeing now are localized,” Jeannine Koranda, spokeswoman for the Kansas Department of Revenue, told the Topeka Capital-Journal.

“You aren’t seeing the lines we had this time last year.”

That may be true in Topeka,

where waits ranged from 12 to 44 minutes Friday at the driver’s license office.

But at various times Friday at the Wichita and Andover offices, people were looking at three- to five-hour waits.

Trying to use the QLess line management system that day — a great idea intended to allow people to reserve a spot in line via cellphone or computer — often meant being told it was unavailable. And on a recent visit to the Andover office, an estimated 90-minute wait stretched to three hours as computers repeatedly went down.

As one Wichita reader recently commented to Opinion Line, “Waiting six hours (after the text message told me my wait would be two hours) to spend three minutes at the counter was ridiculous.”

During a May legislative hearing, Kevin Cronister, chief information officer for the Department of Revenue, assured wary lawmakers that the department had worked with 3M to resolve nearly all problems, that Phase One was running smoothly, and that “stress testing” would prevent trouble in Phase Two. But getting a driver’s license is a stress test itself at the two offices expected to serve Sedgwick County, home to half a million people. Whether the problem stems from lousy software, inadequate resources or incompetent management, it needs to be fixed.

During his first news conference on Monday, Mr. Rowhani promised to “follow the path of moderation” and allow greater openness over the nuclear program. But he also restated Iran’s refusal to halt uranium enrichment as the United Nations Security

lift sanctions and address other issues in which Iran plays a role, like the conflicts in Afghanistan and Syria.

President Obama will have to persuade Congressional leaders and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel that it is necessary and possible to reach a credible deal with Iran.

Mr. Rowhani’s campaign pledge to work to end the impasse with the West over the nuclear issue and the sanctions ... resonated with voters fed up with a badly devalued currency, a battered economy and the erosion of rights and freedoms.

Council has demanded. Such tough talk is not terribly surprising coming from a new leader who will not be inaugurated until August.

Between now and then, American officials, with the other major powers, should be prepared to put forward a comprehensive proposal that aims to halt Iran’s activities related to nuclear weapons, gradually

Sanctions were never supposed to be an end in themselves but a tool to facilitate a deal, and Mr. Obama has done a good job of ratcheting up the pressure. With Mr. Rowhani’s election, Mr. Obama should respond with more creative diplomatic engagement. It is a chance neither he nor Mr. Rowhani can afford to squander.

50 Years Ago Week of June 16, 1963

Iola’s postal ZIP Code number is 66749, Postmaster Ev Harlan announced today.

If everyone in Iola uses this ZIP code number on all correspondence it will speed mail delivery and reduce the chance of missent mail, he said. ZIP Code, the Post Office Department’s revolutionary new system of improved mail dispatch and delivery, goes into effect nationally on July 1. ***** Miss Iola of 1963, Kit Cuppy of Moran, will be a guest at the Lake Garnett National Sports Car Races of 1963 on July 6 and 7 in Garnett. She will be introduced to the race fans by Congressman Robert Ellsworth and then ride in the parade of race cars around the 2.8-mile lake road that is used as a race track.

Miss Cuppy is a graduate of Iola Junior College.

1973

W. Everett Harlan, 66, Iola postmaster, died at his home early this morning following a heart attack. While Mr. Harlan had been on sick leave from the post office for the past several weeks on doctor’s orders, he had been active and his sudden, acute illness was unexpected.

Sign-painter, surveyor, newspaperman, National Guardsman, staunch Democrat and dedicated Little League

coach, Ev Harlan was known throughout a wide area in one or another of his capacities. ***** The Iola Area Chamber of Commerce Job Fair, held earlier this month, provided at least 15 persons with jobs. A survey conducted by Chamber Manager John Sherman and the Job Opportunity Center in Chanute, which helped with conduct of the fair, revealed that 12 persons had been employed through interviews conducted at the fair. Firms conducting interviews were IMP Boats, Thompson Poultry and Fibre Res. 1983

ACCC trustees decided to issue up to $400,000 in revenue bonds to build a dormitory that will accommodate 60 more students. Another dormitory is needed because of a substantial increase in enrollment for the fall semester. Through yesterday, about 175 students had made application for dormitory rooms and more are expected to apply during the summer. ***** Jim Gilpin, executive vice president of Iola State Bank, has completed a graduate course in banking at the Stonier School in New Brunswick, N.J.

Jackson pointed out “the Allen County Historical Society has grown from one room in the courthouse into a five-building complex and has over 500 members in 35 states and three foreign countries, 30 volunteers and hundreds of thousands of objects catalogued from the history and people of Allen County.”

ITS REMOVAL from the mill loft came after Roberta Johnson, who bought the mill several years ago with late husband, Charlie, recently sold the mill to contractor Andy Beatty.

An aviation museum in Wichita and one in Iowa had heard of the plane and asked Johnson to donate it. She decided, with an offer from David Toland, that it should stay in Iola, which led to it seeing the light of day for the first time Tuesday evening.

Friends joined Toland in moving it through a door at the east end of the loft and into a scissors-bed

The theme for this year’s mission trip is “Desirable,” taken from

Luke 19:10. The United Methodist Church provided two grants for the program, totaling $1,300.

Wildfire kills couple DENVER (AP) — Bob and Barbara Schmidt dashed to their home on a dirt road in a heavily wooded area northeast of Colorado Springs as smoke from what would become the most destructive wildfire in Colorado history filled the air.

After quickly grabbing a few items, they spotted their neighbors.

“They were sitting on their porch, watching TV,” said Bob Schmidt, adding that his wife urged their neighbors to immediately flee as smoke rolled in at 4:35 p.m. on June 11. “They said they’d leave when they needed to.”

The couple, Marc and Robin Herklotz, told the Schmidts they hadn’t gotten automated calls from authorities ordering them to evacuate and that, while they were packing and monitoring the approaching blaze on TV, they weren’t panicking.

On Tuesday, authorities announced that the lone casualties of the Black Forest Fire were the Herklotzes, whose

bodies were found in their garage on Jicarilla Drive by their car, as if they were trying to flee.

Bob Schmidt said he had received a call June 11 telling him to leave immediately but that the Herklotzes said they did not get such a call.

Their homes lay just outside the mandatory evacuation boundary announced on Twitter by the El Paso County at 3:34 p.m. that day. The zone was expanded to include Jicarilla Drive at 5:36 p.m.

El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa said that someone had spoken to the Herklotzes on the phone at about 5 p.m. and heard a popping sound — most likely the fire racing through the thick trees.

The Black Forest Fire has destroyed more than 500 homes and charred more than 22 square miles. It was 85 percent contained Tuesday.

HENRY SAID the students had a unique opportunity to experience Hannibal from the eyes of Twain, or Samuel Clemens, as was his actual name. The group had tour guides take them through Mt. Olivet Cemetery, where Clemens’ family and Injun Joe were buried. The cemetery is not normally open to the public.

“Some of the kids were a little bit apprehensive,” Henry said of the tension in the cemetery. The tour guides handed out dowsing rods to “detect spirits,” as well as learn about the history of the people buried there.

“But, but by the end of everything, they were running around excited like everybody else,”

After camping Wednesday evening, the students cooked dinner (sloppy joes); they woke up the next morning ready for a riverboat tour of the mighty Mississippi. Recent rains had resulted in high waters, but Henry said the tour was “no problem.”

After running up and down the river, the students had a chance to take photos with the captain and see his cabin — it induced awe from the kids as well, Henry said.

They finished up the trip by touring several

different museums, including Twain’s boyhood home. They returned to Iola at 7 p.m. that evening.

“IT WAS very reassuring that we’ll be able to pull off Colorado,” Henry said. Music played in the background as the students filed in with their parents, checking duffels and figuring out logistics. Sleeping bags, tents and camping equipment were scattered across the gym floor.

“We are just tying up the loose ends,” Henry

said of the impending trip. The group leaves for Denver at 8:30 p.m.

Saturday. Due to recent wildfires, the group will not be visiting Royal Gorge — it suffered extensive damage. However, she said there are several options her staff is looking into.

Indians back on winning track Miami

forces Game 7

By RICHARD LUKEN

richard@iolaregister.com

Iola’s American Legion squad was able to erase the bitter taste of its first — and so far, only — loss of the 2013 season with a doubleheader sweep Tuesday.

The Post No. 15 AA Indians rolled behind the pitching of Nathan Whitcomb in the opener, 8-0, and took advantage of a number of West Franklin miscues in the nightcap, a 9-4 victory.

The wins came after a rainshorted, one-run loss over the weekend to an academy team out of Kansas City.

Iola (15-1) took an early lead against West Franklin in the opener, but didn’t seize full control until Levi Ashmore’s bases-clearing double in the bottom of the fourth.

The blast turned a 3-0 lead into a 6-0 advantage, scoring Drew Faulhaber, Whitcomb and Eric Heffern, each of whom reached via a walk or hit-by-pitch.

Singles by Mason Coons and Derrick Weir to lead off the fifth led to a pair of runs, including the eighth and final run from Trent Latta’s RBI single, ending the game.

Whitcomb stifled the Falcon offense on two hits, although he twice had to work out of bases-loaded situations.

MIAMI (AP) — LeBron James led a title-saving charge, and now his crown will be on the line one more time in Game 7.

James powered Miami to a frantic fourth-quarter rally and overtime escape as the Heat beat the San Antonio Spurs 103-100 on Tuesday night to extend the NBA Finals as far as they can go and keep Miami’s repeat chances alive.

Losing his headband but keeping his cool while playing the entire second half and overtime, James finished with 32 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, making the go-ahead basket with 1:43 remaining in the extra period.

Tim Duncan scored 30 points for the Spurs, his most in an NBA Finals game since Game 1 in 2003, but was shut out after the third quarter. He added 17 rebounds.

Game 7 will be here Thursday, the NBA’s first do-or-die game to determine its champion since the Lakers beat the Celtics in 2010.

H Heat Aviles with the go-ahead run.

Cody Allen (2-0), whose throwing error in the eighth helped the Royals take a 3-1 lead, got the win. Pestano, who is filling as Clevelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s closer while Chris Perez is on the disabled list, gave up three singles and a walk in the ninth but held on for his second save.

The Royals probably should have tied it in the ninth when Alcides Escobar singled to right with one out and runners at first and second.

But Lough ran past third-base coach Eddie

briefly took his hand off the bag and almost got doubled off by Pestano, who got involved in the rundown and tagged Moustakas out.

Pestano said the Indians donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily work on situations where two runners are on the same base. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Luckily, I had about seven guys shouting at me about what to do so I just chose the thing that I heard twice,â&#x20AC;? he said with a laugh.

What was he hearing? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Run it back, run it back,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t throw it, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t throw it.

Tag him, tag him, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his

base.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I had to process a lot of information.â&#x20AC;?

Santana deserved a better outcome. The right-hander made it look easy against an Indians lineup that was in a deep offensive funk.

Santana, who pitched the only no-hitter in Progressive Field history in 2011 for the Angels, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow a runner to reach second base until the sixth and had Clevelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hitters guessing most of the night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was spectacular,â&#x20AC;?

Royals manager Ned Yost said.

H Indians Continued from B1

Iolaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scoring in the first. Two straight West Franklin errors with two outs in the second allowed Whitcomb to score, putting the Indians up, 2-0.

Braden Larsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadoff single led to the decisive rally in the fourth.

Trent Latta followed with a walk, as did Faulhaber. Whitcomb was hit by a pitch and Heffern walked. A wild pitch scored Trent Latta to push the lead to 3-0. Ashmoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blast off the leftcenter field fence cleared the bases.

Coons and Weir each had two hits to pace the Indian offense. Ashmore had a double. Jarred Latta, Trent Latta and Larson each singled once.

IOLA MANAGED only five hits in the second game, but three went for extra bases. Meanwhile, West Franklin committed two errors and had five walks as Iola scored in every inning.

Walks to Ashmore and Jacob Rhoads to lead off the first led to an RBI ground ball by Whitcomb and a passed ball, allowing Rhoads to score.

The Falcons evened the score at 2-2 in the top of the second before Iola took the lead for good in the bottom of the inning. Tyler Clubine was hit by a pitch to start the frame. He moved to second on an error and to third on a passed ball, where he scored on Larsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sac fly.

Ashmore singled to lead off the third, where he moved to second on a balk and scored on Coonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; single. Coons came around to score on another Falcon error.

Trent Lattaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grounder to first scored Whitcomb, pushing the Indians up 6-2.

The lead was 6-4 when Iola plated its final three runs in the bottom of the fourth. Faulhaber doubled to lead off the inning. He scored when Ashmore tripled three

Rodriguezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stop sign, and got caught in a rundown between home and third.

Lough got back to the bag safely, but Mike Moustakas was also there and was tagged out. It appeared Lough would have scored easily as right fielder Drew Stubbsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; throw was off target. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I take full responsibility,â&#x20AC;? said Lough, who is from nearby Akron and had several family members and friends at the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 100 percent my fault.â&#x20AC;?

Lough nearly made another mistake as he

a fifth title in five chances when they built a 13-point lead with under 4 minutes left in the third quarter, then grabbed a five-point edge late in regulation after blowing the lead.

But James hit a 3-pointer and Ray Allen tied it with another. Just 5.2 seconds remained in regulation.

The Heat were that close to the edge.

James was just 3 of 12 after three quarters, the Heat trailing by 10 and frustration apparent among the players and panic setting in among the fans.

James finished 11 of 26, even making a steal after his basket had given Miami a 101-100 edge in the OT. Before that, he was 12 minutes from hearing the familiar criticisms about not being able to get it done, from having to watch a team celebrate on his home floor again.

Then he changed the game and erased that story.

The Heat, who havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lost consecutive games since Jan. 8 and 10, had too much defense and way too much James for the Spurs in the final 17 minutes. They are trying to become fourth team to win the final two games at home since the NBA went to the 2-3-2 format for the finals in 1985.

Smooth launch unsure for health law Investigators unclear on transitions

By RICARDO ALONSOZALDIVAR Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — There’s no guarantee that President Barack Obama’s health care law will launch smoothly and on time, congressional investigators say in the first in-depth independent look at its progress.

But in a report to be released today, the congressional Government Accountability Office also sees positive signs as the Oct. 1 deadline approaches for new health insurance markets called exchanges to open in each state — in many cases over the objections of Republican governors.

Additionally, the report discloses that the administration had spent nearly $400 million as of March to set up the infrastructure of a sprawling system involving major federal agencies, every state, hundreds of insurance companies, and millions of citizens, among them many individuals seeking coverage for the first time.

“Whether (the administration’s) contingency planning will assure the timely and smooth implementation of the exchanges by Oct. 2013 cannot yet be determined,” the report concluded. A copy was provided to The Associated Press.

The administration is taking the lead in setting up the markets in 34 states, the report said — a heavy lift unfore-

seen when the law was passed. The computerized clearinghouse for the entire system — a federal “data hub” designed to deliver realtime eligibility rulings — has only undergone initial testing.

A n d s t a t e s Obama have yet to complete many of their assignments.

“Much progress has been made in establishing the regulatory framework and guid-

law isn’t ready for prime time, and come October millions of Americans and small businesses are going to be the ones suffering the consequences,” Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said in a statement. Hatch is the ranking Republican on the Senate committee that oversees health care financing.

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has steadfastly maintained the new insurance markets will open on schedule in all 50 states and Washington, DC. Middle-class people with no access to jobbased coverage will be

ance required for this undertaking, and (the administration) is currently taking steps to implement key activities of the (exchanges),” the report said. “Nevertheless, much remains to be accomplished within a relatively short period of time.”

Translation: most of the specs have been written, but all the wiring hasn’t been laid, and what will happen when they flip the switch nobody really knows. And remember, Oct. 1 is less than four months away.

GAO also issued a similar assessment for small-business health insurance markets scheduled to open concurrently.

The study shows “this

able to buy private insurance, in most cases with new tax credits to help pay premiums.

Low-income people will be steered to public programs like Medicaid in states that opt to accept an expansion offered under the law. Coverage starts Jan. 1.

An estimated 7 million individuals are expected to sign up through the exchanges next year, while Medicaid rolls will grow by 9 million. Those numbers are projected to steadily increase as Americans get more familiar with the law and its benefits.

Exchanges are supposed to deliver the same basic service, connecting consumers with new coverage, whether they’re

run by states or by the federal government.

Most people currently covered by employers are not expected to see major changes, although some companies with many low-wage workers may decide it’s better for their bottom lines to drop their plans.

The GAO report did not address one of the major obstacles to the rollout of the health care law — entrenched opposition from Republicans in Congress and from many GOP state leaders.

Having failed to get the Supreme Court to strike down “Obamacare” last year, Republicans in Congress have kept trying to repeal it, managing to block administration requests for additional implementation funds. In the states — with some notable exceptions — Republican governors and legislatures have generally refused to set up state-run exchanges or expand Medicaid.

However, the report found that some states where the law has run into resistance also seem to be simultaneously trying to accommodate it. GAO said that of the 34 states in which the federal government is taking the lead in setting up the new markets, 15 are expected to carry out at least some functions of the exchanges.

That could be a stepping stone to full state control later.

The report also included a breakdown of spending on the federal exchanges and the data hub, which the administration had not previously provided, despite ongoing requests by media organizations.

NSA defends its actions Director claims 50 attacks thwarted

By WILLIAM DOUGLAS and ALI WATKINS McClatchy Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON — The director of the National Security Agency testified Tuesday the government’s massive surveillance program helped thwart more than 50 terrorist “events” worldwide since Sept. 11, 2001, including a planned bombing of the New York Stock Exchange.

Army Gen. Keith Alexander, NSA director, made the revelation during a rare open session of the House of Representatives’ Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, called by panel members to defend and explain government cyber-snooping they support and which they contend has been misunderstood since it was revealed by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.

Alexander, along with representatives of the FBI, the Office of National Intelligence and the Justice Department, tried to quell public angst over the size and scope of the government’s telephone and Internet surveillance activities following reports in Britain’s Guardian newspaper and The Washington Post based on Snowden’s leaks.

“This is not a program that’s off the books, that’s been hidden away,” Deputy Attor-

ney General James Cole told lawmakers. “It’s been overseen by three branches of our government: the legislature, the judiciary and the executive branch.”

Alexander told the committee that the programs were instrumental in preventing about 50 terrorist “events” in

dividual located in the United States in Kansas City, Missouri.”

The individual was later identified as Khalid Ouazzani. McClatchy’s Kansas City Star reported in June that Ouazzani, a local businessman, was part of a small terror cell with two New York men. In May 2010 he pleaded guilty to providing material support to a terrorist organization. He admitted sending more than $23,000 to

more than 20 countries.

At least “10 of these events included homeland-based threats,” he added.

The NSA director said he would provide House and Senate lawmakers detailed information on the 50 events in a classified setting. However, Sean Joyce, deputy director of the FBI, divulged some recently declassified information about two foiled domestic plots.

Without going into great detail, Joyce said authorities were able to stop a plot to bomb the New York Stock Exchange before it fully hatched because federal authorities, through the surveillance programs, were monitoring “an extremist in Yemen” who was “talking with an in-

al-Qaida and performing “other tasks” for the group, The Star reported.

When Ouazzani was first identified, Joyce told the intelligence committee members Tuesday, “We went up on electronic surveillance and identified his coconspirators.

“And this was the plot that was in the very initial stages of plotting to bomb the New York Stock Exchange,” he said. “We were able to disrupt the plot, we were able to lure some individuals to the United States, and we were able to effect their arrest. And they were convicted for this terrorist activity.”

Ouazzani’s lawyer said Tuesday that his client had no knowledge or role in that plot. “Khalid

Ouazzani had nothing to do with any plot to blow up the New York Stock Exchange,” said Robin Fowler, who declined further comment.

In the second newly declassified plot, Joyce said federal authorities were able to identify a San Diego man who intended to financially support a terrorism group in Somalia.

Dish won’t submit revised bid for Sprint ENGLEWOOD, Colo.

(AP) — Satellite TV operator Dish Network Corp. said Tuesday it would not submit a revised bid for Sprint, leaving the path open for the wireless carrier to accept what it already considers a superior offer from Japan’s Softbank.

Dish said that Sprint Nextel Corp.’s decision to cut Dish’s due diligence process short, among other things, made it “impracticable” to submit a revised bid.

It said it will continue to focus on its bid for Clearwire, a wireless network operator in which Sprint has a majority stake.

“We will consider our options with respect to Sprint, and focus our efforts and resources on completing the Clearwire tender offer,” Dish said.

Sprint had given Dish until Tuesday to make its best and final offer.

Sprint’s demand came

after Softbank last week boosted its bid for the carrier by $1.5 billion to $21.6 billion, which Sprint considers the best offer. While that’s still short of Dish’s $25.5 billion bid, Dish’s proposal would add more to Sprint’s debt load and is seen as more risky.

Sprint shares fell 11 cents, or 1.5 percent, to $7.21 in after-hours trading Tuesday. Dish shares were up 5 cents at $39.14 after-hours, while Clearwire shares rose 8 cents to $4.64.

Softbank in Tokyo welcomed Dish Network’s decision.

“We look forward to the receipt of FCC and shareholders’ approvals, which will allow us to close the deal in early July, and begin the hard work of building the new Sprint into a meaningful third competitor in the U.S. market,” the company said in a statement.

Kansas briefs Armed employees could be costly

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The company that insures most of Kansas’ school districts says it won’t provide coverage for districts that allow armed employees.

EMC Insurance Companies has told its agents around the state not to offer policies to school districts that allow concealed weapons under a law that takes effect July 1.

EMC will not renew policies for districts it already insures if they allow concealed weapons.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports EMC insures about 90 percent of the state’s 286 school districts.

EMC official Bernie Zalaznik said the company believes the decision is in its best financial interest because of the potential liabilities.

The new law lets school boards designate employees who may bring guns to school.

Currently, only law enforcement officers can carry guns on school property.

Hutchinson will be ‘Smallville’ Friday

H U T C H I N S O N, Kan. (AP) — Clark Kent would be right at home in Hutchinson on Friday.

Hutchinson May Bob Bush signed a proclamation Tuesday renaming the central Kansas city “Smallville” for one day. That’s the fictional town where Superman’s alterego grew up. Friday is also the day that Clark Kent will be inducted into the Kansas Hall of Fame.

Superman’s hometown has often been

depicted as being somewhere in Kansas, although a specific city was not named. Other Superman fans claim he was born in different states.

The Hutchinson News reports three residents worked for more than a year to persuade Hutchinson officials to change the name.

Christopher Wietrick, Ben Eisiminger and Casey McNeely say they are already planning a bigger celebration for next year.

Ellis County puts ban on fireworks

HAYS, Kan. (AP) — A northwest Kansas county has banned the sale and discharge of fireworks in rural areas during the Fourth of July holiday.

The Hays Daily News reported the Ellis County commission this week rescinded an earlier resolution to allow the sale of fireworks in rural areas.

The Ellis County cities of Hays, Ellis, Schoenchen and Victoria also have banned the sale and use of fireworks over the holiday because of dry conditions.

Regents look at tuition hikes

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Some public university students in Kansas would see tuition increase by almost 9 percent this fall under proposals being considered by the state Board of Regents.

The regents were expected to vote today on new tuition rates proposed by the universities.

The changes would raise an additional $34 million during the fiscal year begin-

ning in July.

The increases would partially offset cuts in state funding approved this year by legislators while allowing for faculty salary increases.

Out-of-state graduate students at Emporia State University would see the biggest increase at 8.8 percent. The smallest increase, 3 percent, would be for out-ofstate veterinary medical students at Kansas State University.

For undergraduates from Kansas, tuition would rise 7 percent at Kansas State and slightly less than 5 percent at the University of Kansas.

Judge quashes subpoena of Wichita reporter

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A judge has tossed out a subpoena seeking to force a Wichita Eagle reporter to testify about contacts he had with attorneys for inmates who claim they were sexually abused by a former guard.

The Wichita Eagle reported Judge Joe Kisner on Tuesday quashed the subpoena filed by attorney Charles O’Hara, who represents the former jail guard.

O’Hara argued the reporter emailed a news release sent out

by O’Hara to an attorney representing victims in the pending civil case. O’Hara claimed the email opened the door to questions about conversations the reporter had with the attorneys. The newspaper said the release was sent to the plaintiffs’ attorney in an attempt to seek comment.

The Eagle cited the state’s reporter’s shield law in seeking to quash the subpoena.

Getting a handle on time together Dear Carolyn: My wife’s work schedule is much more unpredictable and demanding than mine. I work a 9-to-5 job; she works anywhere from 5560 hours, sometimes nights and weekends, and she doesn’t have a lot of control over her schedule.

Sometimes she’ll call at 4 or 5 and say, “Hey, I’m getting out early — want to see a movie/go to dinner/etc.?” I know I should be happy, but I end up feeling resentful — like I’m at her beck and call and don’t have anything better to do (even when I don’t).

I don’t want to be a person who waits by the phone, but I also know it’s not her fault that her job is chaotic. How can I be supportive without

being a doormat? — Beck-and-Call Boy I’m not sure I understand your doormatty feelings or resentment.

Tell Me About It Carolyn Hax

She’s not pulling your strings; the job is pulling hers. So why does hopping to a movie when the opportunity arises feel like capitulating, instead of, say, waking up to a snow day?

If it’s because you sometimes aren’t up for a movie but feel you can’t say no, then there are alternatives to grudging attendance. You can

apologize for not being in the mood and suggest a quiet night at home — or, if she pouts at that, you can say openly that you feel pressured to either celebrate her every night off or be punished by her disappointment, which doesn’t seem fair to you.

Dear Carolyn: I think what bothers me is this: My wife usually has only one or two free nights a week, so I feel like if I want to see her, I have to keep all my nights free. Then either she’s not free and I feel like a chump for sitting home, or she is free and I feel resentful that I’m conforming to her schedule. Even though I know it’s her job’s fault, I still feel like a pathetic hanger-on.

So maybe the solution

is getting my own hobbies and plans — even when that means we might not see each other for a couple of weeks?

— Beck-and-Call Boy again This makes much more sense to me, thanks.

It might help if you just choose a night or two each week that is your own, standing social night. Then, if your wife happens to be off on one of those nights, she either has the house to herself or gets to see her own friends (a luxury she has given up on at this point, no?).

Yes, it might mean you miss each other one week — assuming you can’t bump your plans a day — but life is long and ideally so is marriage.

Arthritis takes different forms Dear Dr. Roach: You published an article in April discussing the differences between osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. How does “degenerative arthritis” differ from the other two? — R.L.

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health Answer: Degenerative arthritis is osteoarthritis; it’s an old term that dates from a time when arthritis was thought to be caused by normal aging processes and from “wear and tear” caused by exercise. That is no longer accepted. For example, runners are at no greater risk for osteoarthritis of the knee than non-runners. Furthermore, exercise is a valuable therapy for osteoarthritis, and stopping an exercise program leads to more pain and disability. However, injuries clearly do contribute to the development of osteoarthritis.

Being overweight is the most important modifiable factor for the development of osteoarthritis.

Dear

Dr.

From what I have read on the Internet, they seem to be an effective, low-risk treatment option. What’s your assessment of them? — R.H. Answer: Whether laser treatment is effective depends on what kind of arthritis your friend has. I discussed osteoarthritis briefly in

the previous question, but it is much more common than rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the joints (and sometimes other important organs). Osteoarthritis is more likely to affect the back.

Low-level laser therapy, also called cold laser, has been studied

in both rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. In people with rheumatoid arthritis of the hand, the laser treatment reduced pain and morning stiffness, and improved flexibility. In osteoarthritis, the jury is still out; some studies showed benefit, and others showed none. It does seem to be a safe treatment.

DAILY CRYPTOQUOTES - Here’s how to work it:

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

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

HAGAR THE HORRIBLE

Roach:

I have a good friend who has arthritis in his hands and lower back. His physician has never suggested cold laser treatments to him.
