4-H’ers show off fashion skills

By KAYLA BANZET kayla@iolaregister.com

4-H members strutted down the runway during the 4-H Style Revue Tuesday night.

After the Friends of 4-H picnic, members dressed up in their outfits for clothing construction and buymanship categories at the Dr. John Silas Bass North Community Building.

The 4-H’ers put many long hours into constructing their clothing. They made everything from pajama pants to dresses.

Buymanship members then took to the stage with their carefully put together ensembles. Some members decided to model formal attire like Trey Wilson, with his black suit and Katelynn Weide with her black dress with rhinestone accents around the waist.

Other members went for a more casual look like Laken Hunter with her Adidas sport ensemble and Colton Heffern with his western shirt and jeans.

Level I sewing champion was Lizzy White; Level II champion was Zoi Yoho, and Level III was Chyanne Vaughn. Fiber arts grand champion was Chyanne Vaughn. Fiber arts reserve champion was Jessica Sharp. Sharp also won needle arts.

In the junior boys buymanship division Carter Hutton won grand champion and Isaiah Wicoff as reserve champion. In the junior girls buymanship division Shelby Yoho won grand champion followed by Gabriella Sharp as reserve champion.

In the senior boy buymanship division Trent Johnson was grand champion and Trey Wilson was reserve champion. Senior girl grand champion was Anna Setter. Reserve champion was Kolbyn Allen.

During the revue gift baskets were auctioned off.

The picnic and style revue kick off the Allen County Fair. The rodeo is at 8 p.m. Friday at the fairgrounds.

Allen County Hospital

Donors front and center

By SUSAN LYNN susan@iolaregister.com

One of the first things visitors to the new Allen County Regional Hospital will see upon entering is a big digital display that will recognize those who have made gifts to the hospital.

The donor wall will contain an array of several screens showing the personal stories of donors as well as highlight hospital events and services.

Mary Ann Arnott, a volunteer working with the project, explained the digital display to hospital trustees at their meeting Tuesday night.

“This will be an effective and visually beautiful way to recognize donors,” she said.

Donors of $200 and more will be recognized on the display in differing degrees.

Top-level donors will have their photos and brief biographies up for all to see.

“It will be a great historical record as well,” Arnott said.

As of mid-June, 46 donors have contributed $5,000 and greater; 14 have contributed between $1,200 and $4,999; 20 between $600 and $1,199; and 23 from $200 to $599.

Those who have contributed in the past to the current hospital and have designated plaques can now have them as a memento, Arnott Vol. 115, No.190

said.

Most of the plaques commemorate donations from 1952 to 1983, between when the hospital was first built and its most recent renovation.

When the new hospital opens late this fall its gift shop will have the plaques stored there.

A TOUR of the new hospital preceded the meeting.

First stop was the nurses’ education/break room in order to recognize the Georgia and Craig Abbott family, who will have the large room named after them in return for a gift.

Timothy Prescott, a professor at Park University, shedded some light on just what the Underground Railroad may have been like in Kansas back in the 1850s and ’60s.

The event room at the library was packed to the brim Tuesday night with history buffs and those interested in the secret organization that helped escaped slaves find their freedom. Prescott began by calling the railroad what it was.

“Let’s keep in mind, this was illegal,” he said.

Nevertheless, some very brave individuals helped slaves sneak across the Missouri border (which was a slave state) to Kansas, and then north, potentially to their freedom. He showed the audience examples of letters written by the “conductors,” those who were in charge of harbor-

ing the escapees. Just a few of the many names involved in the Kansas movement were: Augustus and John Wattles, John Brown, James Montgomery, August Bondi and Richard Mendenhall. Prescott showed letters these individuals had written as they recounted the events of hiding and avoiding the Missourian patrols.

Prescott, who received his doctorate from the Union Institute in Cincinnati, Ohio, said there is not as much information about the western lines of the Underground Railroad as those along the east coast. He, along with his colleagues, are just beginning to uncover some of the details of the operation.

“There is very little written on the western route,” Prescott said.

Area news Fluoride feed cut off in Parsons

PARSONS — Parsons has not been feeding fluoride into the public water supply for about two months, and won’t for several more weeks.

City officials said the injection point for fluoride at the water treatment plant was leaking, which led to the pump being shut off, the Parsons Sun reported. Equipment is being upgraded.

A local dentist said the short amount of time without fluoride wouldn’t have any negative effects on residents’ teeth. According to the American Dental Association’s website, ada.org, community water fluoridation is the single most effective public health measure to prevent tooth decay.

Is your pet up-to-date on vaccinations?

Many people don’t know the answer to that question.

Others rely on receiving a postcard in the mail to notify them when their pets are due for vaccinations. With many puppies and kittens born this time of year, we thought we would help answer a few of your questions regarding vaccination schedules.

The earliest we begin vaccinating puppies is at six weeks of age, but typically begin the series at eight weeks of age. The reason behind this is related to the puppies drinking their mother’s milk. The “maternal antibodies” found in milk protect the puppies from most illnesses, but begin to decline at about six weeks of age. Those protective maternal antibodies will essentially cancel out any vaccination given before that time. Because puppies don’t have a strong immune system, we give a series of vaccinations.

These are given at approximately four week intervals for a total of three vaccinations. These “puppy shots” and “puppy shot boosters” are a combination vaccine that helps protect the puppy against parvovirus and several other serious diseases. Assuming you begin the series at eight weeks of age, and returned for boosters every four weeks, the final vaccine would be given at 16 weeks of age. At that age, the puppy is old enough to receive a rabies vaccination as well, which we also strongly recommend. From that point, we give a booster to provide continued immunity every year.

The rabies vaccine is considered protective for one year initially, then for two years after the dog is one year of age. Each dog has a unique situation regarding whether they are indoor, outdoor, both, or if you plan to board or groom frequently, etc. This and other factors can affect the choice of what we vaccinate for on a yearly basis, so please stop in to discuss a vaccination protocol for your dog. If you take in a stray, or obtain a dog with an unknown vaccination status, it is best to complete the whole series if the dog is less than one year of age. If the dog is already an adult, it is still a good idea to have a good physical exam and begin yearly vaccinations.

Kittens have a very similar vaccination schedule when compared to their canine counterparts. We begin vaccinating kittens at about ten weeks of age, and strive for a series of three vaccinations. Like the puppies, we schedule the vaccinations about four weeks apart, and give a rabies vaccination with the final kitten booster. We repeat these vaccinations one year from the last set of vaccinations. Also, continue with followup vaccinations which include an annual booster every year and a rabies vaccination every two years.

Although similar schedules, we vaccinate kittens for different diseases than dogs. We are vaccinating kittens and adult cats for some of the viruses that cause the “runny eyes and snotty nose” that we often see in our kitten patients. As with dogs, if you adopt a cat with an unknown vaccination status (or one adopts you), we recommend a good physical exam to estimate the age of your newly acquired pet, and determine a vaccination schedule at that time.

It is important to understand that vaccinations do not prevent l00% of disease; however, if your pet is infected by one of the infectious agents that we have vaccinated for, it should lessen the severity of the illness. Because of their immature immune systems, puppies and kittens need the full series in order to be considered “up-to-date” or “current” on their vaccinations. While this information pertains to the majority of our patients, there is always the exception to the rule.

So, if you just got a new pet, are unsure if your pet is current on his or her vaccinations, or you just got a postcard in the mail, give us a call or stop in to discuss your pet’s vaccination needs.

tracted with Cerner of Kansas City, Mo. to administer its electronic records system that will maintain patient medical records, doctors’ orders, prescription orders, lab results and billing services, among others.

Those services require Cerner to “interface” with third-party systems to adequately input data.

Currently, physicians and pharmacists dictate their reports that are then transcribed into paper form.

“Generally all the interfaces struggle at some degree or another at this point,” Peterson said.

“Considering the short time frame we were trying to work under and the equipment we had to buy, we found we would have to do too many ‘work-arounds’ to make the system work.

It’s not practical to go live without everything fully tested and working properly,” Peterson said.

The delay means the hospital’s current paper filing system will all be moved to the new hospital and the reimbursement from Medicare for going with electronic medical records will be set back several months.

The former practice of Drs. Earl Walter and Wes Stone was successfully transferred to the hospital, reported Ron Baker, hospital chief

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Burden on city to ensure new center is topnotch Now that the city has approved rezoning the 3.8 acres on North Kentucky Street for a senior living center, it’s incumbent city officials ensure the development goes above and beyond being a good neighbor.

That means making the development look as much like a neighborhood as possible, including an attractive layout, ample green space, lots of trees and hidden bays for unloading of food services, etc.

The Dallas-based developers paid a handsome sum for the land, $45,000, which equals to about $11,800 an acre. That’s three times the price for developed lots up in Cedarbrook on North Cottonwood.

They’ll also end up paying about $100,000 in property tax, up from the current $500, once it’s on full tax rolls in 10 years’ time.

The $5 million development will bring more jobs to the area starting immediately.

The upscale development — units will rent for $2,800$3,000 a month — will cater to a clientele accustomed to a lifestyle of means, ensuring the neighborhood will hold its value.

ON THE FLIP side, the neighbors to the south, especially, have a right to complain only because since forever they’ve had the length of their back yards up against an empty lot.

Had it been developed at the same time of Buchanan Street, they wouldn’t have known the pleasures of a starry night out their back doors, or the buffer zone the extra space has provided.

That said, since the beginning they’ve known the acreage could be developed as a neighborhood similar to their own. It just never happened, thanks to a flooded housing market and the fact that the land had been overpriced from the get-go.

CITY COUNCIL members have a lot to prove to Iola citizens for the decision to rezone the property.

They’ll need to hold the reins tight as the project develops, ensuring every necessary hoop is held high.

We all want to be able to say in hindsight their decision had merit and is to Iola’s advantage.

— Susan Lynn

A look back in time

60 Years Ago Week of July 21, 1953

A state legislative committee has chosen a 50-acre site in Chanute for a 76-bed state tuberculosis hospital. Chanute offered the land free of cost to the state.

Getting Detroit back on its feet After suffering through decades of economic decline and official mismanagement, the city of Detroit sought bankruptcy protection last week, becoming the largest American municipality to take that extreme step. The city’s debts total a staggering $18 billion, far more than it could ever afford to pay back given its shrinking population and tax base.

There is no doubt that bankruptcy proceedings will be very painful for Detroit’s population of 700,000. Bankruptcy cases can drag on for years, and city services, which have already been slashed, could deteriorate further.

But the bankruptcy case might also allow Detroit to be relieved of paying back its bondholders and banks much of estimated $9 billion they lent to Detroit on overly rosy assumptions. This group will, of course, push the city and state to also force concessions on city workers and retirees, whose pension funds are underfinanced by about $3.5 billion.

But city officials should resist the idea of cutting the pension payments for the city’s public workers, which averages $19,000 a year. Unlike the situation in other troubled cities where government officials made lavish pension promises and workers gamed the system to inflate their benefits, Detroit’s are quite modest. Moreover, city employees have already had their pay and benefits reduced significantly in recent years. Slashing the meager fixed incomes

The state supreme court now will decide how long Kansas reasonably can require sex, drug and violent offenders to register with law enforcement.

That is a good question, and the higher court should find that Kansas is excessive in its requirements.

That was the opinion of a Shawnee County district court judge, who on Tuesday ruled in favor of an offender who had sued the state because a new law extended the time he was required to register from 10 to 25 years and did so retroactively for a 2003 conviction in Johnson County.

The Legislature amended the registry law in 2011, requiring offenders to register for 15 years to life, depending on the severity of the crime. Kansas offenders also are required to report in person four times a year. They must register within three days of changing residences or jobs and must tell law enforcement when planning to travel internationally. They must pay a $20 fee each time

“

The increased requirements that are in effect, increased punishment, do not and cannot survive the revealing light of our Constitution.

— Judge Larry Hendricks

“

The Hutchinson News (Shameful practice)

they report something and are identified as sex offenders on their driver’s licenses.

Judge Larry Hendricks noted people can use the Johnson County website to post registry information on social media websites and then social media users can comment. He compared the web notification provisions and driver’s license notations to “traditional colonial punishments.”

The judge also said the state’s registration requirement exceeded the time necessary to protect public safety, citing studies that found the risk of a sex offender committing another sex crime drops

significantly as he or she ages.

Hendricks acknowledged the emotion surrounding the offender registry law.

“However, people controlled by this act also have relatives that are affected by the act. The increased requirements that are in effect, increased punishment, do not and cannot survive the revealing light of our Constitution,” he wrote in the decision. “We must protect the individual rights of all people to insure the protection of our own individual rights, no matter what our emotions might tell us.”

The judge is right. We have returned to the Scarlett Letter days with the virtual branding of these offenders nearly for life. The 10-year registration requirement under the previous law allowed sufficient time to show that even a sex offender could be rehabilitated.

Lifetime shaming is not right.

Everyone deserves a second chance.

Other states have struck down similar laws. The Kansas Supreme Court should do likewise.

of retirees will also hurt the city’s weak economy because they are more likely to spend most of the money they receive in local businesses. Labor unions also argue that Michigan’s Constitution protects their pensions from cuts, which will set up a potentially long legal battle that the city can ill afford.

There are many causes to

ing to have a big chunk of its liabilities, including the pensions it owes to city employees and retirees, written down significantly. An emergency manager appointed by the State of Michigan, Kevyn Orr, also wants Detroit to spend more money to clean up blighted neighborhoods and bring down its high crime rate.

Detroit’s financial problems.

Foreign competitors and global economic forces have battered its industrial base, particularly the Big Three automakers. Corrupt and inept government officials have squandered its wealth.

And a flight to the suburbs by businesses and residents has sapped its resources and spirit. In recent years, the city has tried to respond to these challenges by raising taxes and severely cutting spending on vital services like police, fire and even streetlights. But its efforts have not been sufficient to pull it out of a downward spiral that in many ways exacerbated its decline by, for instance, undermining public safety.

Its federal bankruptcy filing, which has been challenged in state courts by city pension funds, gives Detroit a chance to hit reset and try to start over. The city is seek-

wipe out much of its debts in bankruptcy court, officials in Detroit and at the statehouse will have to develop a much more comprehensive and farreaching plan to deal with the city’s problems. They will have to, for instance, say how they intend to deal with neighborhoods filled with abandoned homes and businesses.

Detroit’s decline is not just bad for its residents, it also hurts the surrounding suburbs. One way state officials could aid Detroit is to urge the consolidation of some public services that are currently provided separately by Detroit and other cities in Wayne County.

Detroit once served as the engine that powered Michigan and a large chunk of the national economy. It may never regain its lost stature, but it does not have to be a symbol of failure.

Letter to the editor We attended the City of Iola meeting Monday evening.

David Toland talked about Iola’s need for expansion.

We were attending in opposition of the rezoning on North Kentucky from single family dwellings to multiple family dwellings. The neighborhood with 20-plus in attendance presented to the city council a petition with 70-plus signatures opposing the rezoning.

The neighborhood was once considered very desirable with green spaces, large yards with much desired space between homes. The neighborhood was known as the Sterling Heights Addition. It is remembered by some when cattle, horses and chickens were in the green spaces.

It was stated that the population in Iola continues to decrease. Face the fact that Iola has a good number of retirees. This does not mean we need another assisted living facility. Iola has three — Tara Gardens, Guest Home Estates and Fountain

Villa.

However, it does encourage a retirement on fixed incomes with very little if any extra spending money for the economy.

Once again, the majority of the city council elected by the people disregarded the request of the neighborhood affected by the rezoning in favor of a firm from out of town to go forward at the expense of Iola citizens. Check out the umbrellas this firm is under and where the private investments originate.

It saddens the citizens of the neighborhood, city, state and country that government officials at all levels elected by the people repeatedly go against the people’s decisions.

Remember, they are elected to represent the people not to alienate. Wake up all people everywhere — it is time to take back our neighborhood, cities, states and country. Do not let a few make the decision for many.

John and Judy Snavely and neighbors, Iola, Kan.

Limits put on failing road Delaware Road in bad shape

By BOB JOHNSON bob@iolaregister.com

Commissioners Tuesday put a 15-ton limit on a portion of Delaware Road in rural Allen County as well as a 45 mph speed limit.

Trucks carrying local farm produce will be exempted.

Truck drivers have opted to use the hardsurfaced road running 10 miles west from U.S. 59 at Elsmore.

Bill King, director of Public Works, told commissioners the road was disintegrating, the result of drought the past couple of years, heavy trucks “pounding away at it” and subgrade not sufficient to deal with heavy traffic.

He showed photo-

graphs of failures in the road, some twothird of the pavement side-to-side and running several feet where the chip-and-seal surface had crumbled. He also had photographs showing the only thing beneath some parts of the hard-surface road was blue scale, not a layer of crushed rock prescribed in such construction.

Repairs are being done to the worst of the damage, including digging out stretches and putting in sub-grade rock.

But, King pointed out, quick fixes are just temporary. What should be done is unaffordable today.

“The road needs to be torn up and replaced,” King said, which would entail three inches of coarse rock, another layer of smaller diameter crushed rock and then hard surface.

Cost prohibits appro-

priate repairs today, he added, noting it would be about $200,000 a mile, or $2 million for the 10 miles in question.

Sheriff Bryan Murphy said his deputies would increase patrol of the road and write tickets for violations of load or speed limits.

DARRIN Petrowsky, Kansas Department of Transportation engineer, told commissioners grinding and joint sealing on U.S. 169 between Iola and Chanute would resume soon and that work to rebuild U.S. 54, from east Iola to the east edge of LaHarpe also would get under way within a week or so.

Initial work on U.S. 54 will be removal of pavement on the east side of LaHarpe, and then in east Iola about a week later. Eventually, all pavement between the two points

Medical Alert for Seniors Medical Alert Monitoring

will be replaced.

He said as much as 40,000 cubic yards of concrete would be broken up and hauled to dump sites, including along the Neosho River south of Iola.

KDOT will examine county roads that will be involved as routes to dump areas. The roads then will be restored to before-project condition on KDOT’s nickel.

When work starts in east Iola, arrangements will be made to keep on- and off-ramps between highways 54 and 169 open, as well as entrances to businesses.

In another matter, Petrowsky said Allen County would receive about $400,000 for assuming responsibility for maintenance of K-224, which carries vehicles between U.S. 169 and Humboldt, K-202 from U.S. 59 to Savonburg and K-203 from U.S. 69 to Elsmore.

4-H

Fourteen members and two leaders answered roll call by naming a favorite flavor of ice cream at the Seekers Not Slackers June meeting. Rebecca Sprague led the club in saying the flag salute and 4-H Pledge. Cassie Bowen and MaKayla Jones led the club in singing “You are my Sunshine.” Community leader Stacy Sprague reminded all of the deadline to register fair projects and pre-fair judging for arts and crafts, fiber arts, photography, and clothing/buymanship at the Anderson County Jr/Sr High School. There will also be FACS judging at the pre-fair judging.

The club is in charge of the fairground cleanup all day on Thursday and also in charge of the food stand during the Livestock Auction on Friday.

Project leader Kathy LaCross announced there would be a goat meeting at her house before the fair.

The tour committee announced that club tour of the fair is on Thursday at 2 p.m. For program, Kaitlyn LaCross gave a demonstration on how to make

braided head bands; Brock Peters a demonstration on how to make a rope halter. The Sprague family hosted an exchange student from Austria, named Bianca. Bianca gave a demonstrated talk about her culture. She is involved in a similar group to 4-H called the Young Farmers Club. Bianca brought two traditional outfits that are typically worn in Austria. She also demonstrated an Austrian dance. For recreation, Tanner LaCross led the club in playing a relay game.

Man admits dare was ‘really stupid’ DETROIT (AP) — A man who wanted to prove he could swim across the Detroit River from Canada to the U.S. after a night of drinking ended up prompting an international rescue operation.

John Morillo told The Windsor Star that Monday night’s swim from Windsor, Ontario, to Detroit, was “really stupid” and said in retrospect he shouldn’t have done it.

He was cited for being intoxicated in a public place and released from jail Tuesday.

“I was drinking, but I wasn’t really drunk,” Morillo, 47, of Windsor, said Tuesday. “The thing is, I’ve been telling people I’m going to swim across the river for years and they’re like ‘yah, yah, blah, blah, you can’t make it.’ So, I don’t know, last night I just decided it

was the time to go.”

Morillo said he regrets causing problems for authorities, including Windsor police and Coast Guard crews from the U.S. and Canada. Three boats and a helicopter responded.

“As soon I saw the helicopters going by and the boats looking for me, I was like ‘oh, this is really stupid,’” Morillo told The Windsor Star.

Police in Windsor initially responded around 11:30 p.m., when a neighbor of Morillo called to say she had lost sight of him about a half-hour earlier.

Morillo made it across to Detroit, getting out of the water near downtown’s Renaissance Center, and was swimming back when he was found about 12:50 a.m. Tuesday by the U.S. Coast Guard.

Indians open zone play with romp Seven Garnett errors key in Iola’s 8-2 victory

By RICHARD LUKEN

richard@iolaregister.com

It was hardly a work of art, but Iola’s AA American Legion squad still got off on the right foot toward a possible second straight state championship.

The Post 15 Indians opened zone tournament play Tuesday with an 8-2 win over Garnett, taking advantage of seven walks and seven Maddog errors.

The win puts Iola in the semifinal round against Osawatomie, which was idle.

First pitch is scheduled for 8 o’clock tonight at the Allen Community College baseball field.

“It was a good win, but it was sloppy,” Iola head coach Roland Weir said, pointing to the 11 combined errors between the teams and 14 walks.

“We were able to take advantage of some of their mistakes.”

The Indians rode the hot hitting of Levi Ashmore, who tripled, singled twice and scored three runs; and their three-pronged pitching attack,

limiting Garnett to four hits with 11 strikeouts.

“Levi’s offense carried us early,” Weir said.

Ashmore’s leadoff triple in the top of the first set up an RBI ground ball by Trent Latta. Mason Coons and Jarred Latta followed with walks before a Garnett error on Derrick Weir’s grounder scored Coons.

A leadoff walk to Drew Faulhaber led to a three-run surge in the top of the second.

Faulhaber stole second and scored when Ashmore blasted a line drive off Garnett pitcher Jack Rickabaugh for an infield single.

Trent Latta’s subsequent at bat illustrated Garnett’s fielding troubles. His fly ball to left field was dropped for an error, allowing Ashmore to score.

Latta then advanced to third on a throwing error by the Garnett catcher, and scored when Trent Latta’s grounder to second was misplayed for a third error, putting the Indians on top, 5-0.

Royals hang on against Baltimore KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Greg Holland faced a thorny situation in the ninth inning.

A leadoff single by Nick Markakis and a run-scoring triple by Adam Jones had the tying run at third with nobody out.

Holland, however, wiggled out of that jam to close out the Kansas City Royals’ 3-2 victory Tuesday night, snapping the Baltimore Orioles’ season-best, five-game win-

plate.

“Comfortable as you can be with the tying run on third base and nobody out,” Holland said. “I just stayed focused. You’re not going to it done all the time there.”

Davis, who leads the majors with 37 home runs and 97 RBIs, chased a pitch in the dirt to strike out. Holland retired Hardy and Urrutia on

ning streak.

“They have a runner at third base and nobody out and I was completely comfortable,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “Holly did a phenomenal job in the ninth inning. He showed why he’s an All-Star closer. I knew he had the stuff to get it done.”

Yost was probably more relaxed than Holland was with Chris Davis, J.J. Hardy and Henry Urrutia coming to the

Macha hits links at KS Amateur MISSION HILLS — After struggling through the first 11 holes of his opening round of the Kansas Amateur Championship Tuesday, Iolan Kaden Macha closed with a flourish.

Macha birdied four of his last six holes of the Indian Hills Country Club golf course to finish with a 7-over-par 77.

Macha is the defending Kansas Class 4A champion. He struggled with a triple bogey on the second hole, and then double bogeys on the 10th and 11th holes to stand at 11-over.

But a par on hole 12 set up his blistering finish. Macha birdied holes 13, 14, 16 and 18.

Macha stands 11 strokes behind Wichita’s Pete Kranich, who fired a 4-under 66.

The tournament wraps up today.

Macha is entering his junior year at Iola High School.

Smith hits ground running as training camp opens

By DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports Writer

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — The first pass that Alex Smith threw on Tuesday was to Tony Moeaki, who might have a hard time making the Kansas City Chiefs after an injury-plagued start to his career.

Then came passes to Tyler Shoemaker, Rico Richardson and Junior Hemingway. It was about as modest of a start as you could get to Smith’s first training camp with the Chiefs — a bunch of throws to wide receivers who may not be around in six weeks.

Still, those passes on an unseasonably cool

morning on the campus of Missouri Western represented the first step

by Smith toward fulfilling expectations that have steadily grown ever since he was acquired from the 49ers this past offseason.

“The entire locker room is hungry. Expectations are high,” Smith said, “and I think that’s a good thing. The fun thing now is that we’ll put the pads on and get to playing real football.”

The Chiefs have been trying to weather instability at quarterback for the past seven seasons, trying everybody from Tyler Palko to Damon

Huard to Matt Cassel to find someone who fits.

There have been some modest successes — Cassel was quite good a few years ago, when the Chiefs went a surprising 10-6 and won the AFC West. But he regressed so mightily last season that Cassel was ultimately benched for Brady Quinn, who didn’t fare a whole lot better.

The shaky quarterback play was a big reason the Chiefs had one of the lowliest offenses in the league, and why the team went 2-14 to match the worst record in franchise history.

So when Chiefs chair-

man Clark Hunt hired Andy Reid to be the new head coach and John Dorsey as the new general manager, one of their first moves was to upgrade the game’s most important position.

They wasted such little time in agreeing to a trade for Smith that they had to wait for the new league year to begin for it to be consummated.

Smith had become the hottest trade commodity in the league after flourishing two years ago, when he led the 49ers to the NFC championship game. The former No. 1 overall pick started nine games last season, but

Aaron Barclay led off the third inning with a walk. He advanced to third on another error and scored on Eric Heffern’s grounder to second. Ashmore reached on a fielder’s choice, then proceeded to make it to third and on home on a pair of passed balls.

Weir led off with a single in the fourth.

He scored on Tyler Clubine’s ground-out.

Meanwhile, the Indians’ three-pronged pitching attack kept Garnett at bay.

Barclay got the start and the win. He allowed three hits, three walks and two runs — one earned — in three innings of work with five strikeouts. Clubine pitched three hitless innings in relief. Braden Larson wrapped up the proceedings with a scoreless seventh, striking out the side, while allowing a hit and a walk.

“Aaron did a good job of getting out of some early jams, and Tyler

“Braden did a nice job of keeping them from scoring after they loaded the bases.”

Weir expects the Indian offense to pick up

things a notch now that they’ve resumed play following a nine-day layoff.

“We should swing the bats better (tonight) against Osawatomie,” Weir said.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith (11) lines up in front of Braden Wilson (40) and Knile Davis (34) at training camp Tuesday. was sidelined by a head injury midway through the year.

That opened the door for Colin Kaepernick, who sprinted right through it. Kaepernick played so well that 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh made him the starter the rest of the season, forcing Smith to watch from the sideline as the team played in the Super Bowl.

Smith has said that he felt like he lost his job in San Francisco without doing anything wrong, and that it’s only made him hungrier to succeed with Kansas City.

“It’s a fresh start,” he said. “It’s a fresh beginning for everybody.”

Running back Shaun Draughn said Smith already has filled a massive leadership void that had developed within the Chiefs over the past couple seasons.

“He’s very confident in what he’s doing. I think the guys are really starting to rally around him,” Draughn said. “We didn’t know how he’d come in and take

charge, but he’s done a great job. His silent confidence, his leadership — he doesn’t say much but he gets the job done.”

Smith is working with a hodge-podge of primarily rookies this week.

The rest of the squad, including top playmakers Dwayne Bowe and Jamaal Charles, will report on Thursday ahead of the team’s first fullsquad workout on Friday.

Until then, Smith is squeezing in as many reps as possible with whomever he can find.

“You’ve had six weeks off,” he said. “As far as a quarterback goes, you can throw to air and throw to receivers, but you can’t really simulate seven-on-seven, you can’t simulate 11-on-11, so it’s a few days of work to get back into things.

“When the rest of the guys get here,” Smith said, “we’re hitting the ground running.”

Notes: Rookie S Sanders Commings broke his left collarbone when he landed hard on the turf defending a pass. A team spokesman said surgery had not been scheduled.

It wasn’t clear how long Commings will be out.

grounders to log his 25th save in 27 chances.

“We had some opportunities at the end, but their closer is having a great year,” Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. “When you have a chance against him you have to take advantage.”

Bruce Chen (4-0), who was making just his second start after replacing Luis Mendoza in the rotation, limited the Orioles to three hits and one run, retiring the final 10 batters he faced.

The Orioles had bashed 45 hits in their previous three games before Chen and three Kansas City relievers shut them down.

Chen, the Royals’ 2012 opening day starter, was relegated to the bullpen to start the season after Mendoza earned the final rotation spot in spring training. In two starts, Chen has yielded one run and four hits in 12 innings.

“He keeps you offbalance and never gives in,” Jones said. “It’s a true testament to how he’s maintained all these years in the majors. He’s not tricking you, but he’s making his pitches.

I was standing out in centerfield wondering how, how we only have three hits. He makes his pitches and you’ve got to respect that.”

Manny Machado homered with two outs in the third for the only run Chen permitted.

The Baltimore Orioles’ Adam Jones slides under Kansas City Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas with an RBI triple in the ninth inning at Kauffman Stadium Tuesday. The Royals prevailed, 3-2.

15 with runners in scoring position, stranding 12 runners, including nine at second and third base.

“We had numerous opportunities to break that game open,” Yost said.

They loaded the bases with none out in the first, but scored only one run when Billy Butler grounded into a double play.

In the second, Chris Getz’s one-out single scored David Lough.

Mike Moutakas’ double into the rightfield corner in the third scored Lorenzo Cain, who singled to lead off the inning. The Royals had runners at second and third with none out, but failed to pad their lead.

Jason Hammel (7-7) took the loss, giving up 10 hits in six innings for the second straight start.

After starting the season 7-2, Hammel is 0-5 with a 5.47 ERA in eight starts since his last victory on May 27 at Washington.

“He ain’t giving in,” Showalter said. “He just kept battling. He knows what he needs to do to help this club.

“We were fortunate.

They hit some balls hard at people and we made some plays. Jason kept battling. It was a professional outing. We’ll take the finished product.”

Notes: The Orioles ob-

tained RHP Francisco Rodriguez from Milwaukee for minor league INF Nick Delmonico. Rodriguez is 1-1 with a 1.09 ERA and 10 saves with the Brewers and has 304 career saves. Yost said RHP Wade Davis would remain in the rotation, but “he needs to get going and be productive.”

Davis has one win in his past 11 starts and is 0-4 with a 10.91 ERA in his past four starts. ... Orioles OF Nolan Reimold underwent season-end-

Drought wipes out corn and sorghum Western Kansas faces crop losses for third year

By ROXANA HEGEMAN Associated Press

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — In a good year, corn grower Dennis McNinch can look over his green fields of tasseled corn shooting 7 feet high by this point in the growing season. This year, the corn on McNinch’s farm in western Kansas barely reaches 4 feet high and much of it has turned brown.

It’s the third year of drought for the area, and much of McNinch’s corn is dead.

“I’d say 25 percent of my crop is gone,” he said Tuesday in a phone interview.

He is not alone. The National Agricultural Statistics Service reported Monday that spotty rain showers this past week have been too little to improve drought conditions in western Kansas. Crops and pastures continue to suffer.

The agency says it has received reports of failed corn and sorghum crops in areas missed by the rain, as well as fields damaged by hail or wind.

“By nature, you almost have to be an optimist,” McNinch said.

“You head into it thinking possibly the drought is over and harvest is something to get satisfaction for all this hard work. And then just basically you watch it start withering away.”

The corn crop’s condition across Kansas has declined so much that the Agricultural Statistics Service reported this week that 30 percent is now considered in poor to very poor shape. About 39 percent is rated fair, 28 percent is good and 3 percent is in excellent condition.

Among other Kansas crops: — Sorghum is also hurting, with 21 percent in poor to very poor condition. About 43 percent is rated as fair, 34 percent as good and 2 percent as excellent. About 3 percent of the crop is just beginning to head.

— Soybean condition is rated as 13 percent poor to very poor.

About 46 percent is rated as fair, 39 percent as good and 2 percent excellent. About 35 percent of the crop is now blooming, and 4 percent is setting pods.

“

By nature, you almost have to be an optimist.

You head into it thinking possibly the drought is over and harvest is something to get satisfaction for all this hard work. And then just basically you watch it start withering away.

— Dennis McNinch, farmer

— Roughly 10 percent of sunflower fields are now blooming across Kansas. The condition of the crop is pegged as 14 percent poor to very poor, 39 percent fair, 41 percent good and 6 percent excellent.

Livestock producers are not faring much better.

The latest government snapshot shows 55 percent of Kansas ranges and pastures remain in poor to very poor condition. Stock water supplies are short to very short in 42 percent of the state.

Flower has strong allure WASHINGTON — Here’s a seldom-used mating tactic: Pretend to be a dead animal.

While probably bad advice for most of us, that’s what passes for romance in the world of the titan arum, otherwise known as the corpse flower, or more commonly, the stinky plant.

And is it ever.

The plant emits a strong, nauseating odor once it blooms that is said to smell like rotting flesh. But it’s catnip to beetles, which usually root around in animal corpses and dung, and which serve to pollinate the flowers.

The U.S. Botanic Garden has a stinky plant set to bloom any day now, its first since 2007. Native to the tropical rainforests of Sumatra, Indonesia, the sight — and smell — of the plant are rare on this side of the world.

And now, like the White House and the Jefferson Memorial, it’s become another capital tourist attraction, at least briefly.

Call it the “weird factor,” said Bill McLaughlin, plant curator at the Botanic Garden.

A live webcam on the plant received more than 70,000 views on

Tuesday, even before it had bloomed.

“This is the first one to bloom since the advent of social media, and we’ve had a live webcam on it 24 hours a day,” McLaughlin said. “So we’re looking at a huge increase in the past two days of people watching this flower, and what we’re hoping — and fearing — is that a lot of them are waiting to see it flip open and then they’re going to get in line, and that would be an unprecedented crowd for us.”

Caroline Siegert, a 16-year-old high school

Public notice

junior from Fairfax, Va., and her mother arrived at 10 a.m. Tuesday and spent a fruitless day at the garden hoping to witness the flower emerge. But they intend to return today, and if the plant still refuses to bloom then, they will go back Thursday, and even Friday.

“I want to become a botanist, so we were planning to come here anyway,” Caroline said.

“But when we saw on the website that this was supposed to be blooming, we thought it was great and really wanted to see it.”

The Iola Register

Fracking regs on the table TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas utility regulators are considering new rules to require oil and natural gas companies to disclose some information about the chemicals they use in hydraulic fracturing, but representatives of an environmental group said Monday the regulations wouldn’t go far enough.

The Topeka Capital Journal reported an attorney with the Kansas Corporation Commission outlined the proposed rules Monday for a joint legislative committee that reviews administrative regulations. The KCC plans to have a hearing Aug. 10 in Wichita on the proposed rules and is taking comments in writing or by email.

The rules would require companies to disclose the chemicals they use in hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, with water under high pressure to crack open rock formations and release oil and natural gas. The information would have to be listed on a KCC database or in an existing online industry database.

Companies could avoid disclosing all of the details if the chemicals they used were a trade secret. Those substances still would have to be disclosed to the KCC and other state and local officials if there’s a problem, even if it’s not an emergency.

“This is as far as other states have gone,” said Ryan Hoffman, the KCC attorney who outlined the proposed regulations for legislators.

Environmentalists contend hydraulic fracturing is a threat to groundwater. Zack Pistora, a lobbyist for the Kansas Sierra Club, said the proposed rules are “a good step,” but added, “We still don’t have full transparency from the oil and gas industry.”

“They’re kind of cherry-picking what they want to tell you,” he said.

Struggling with feelings for a close friend’s beau Tell Me About It Carolyn Hax again. What can I do to curb these feelings? — Once a Chater, but Not Wanting to be Always a Cheater I can see why you want to curb your feelings out of respect for your close friend — but why are you still with your boyfriend? Rough patch + feelings for someone else - life commitment usually = sign that it’s over. No? As for how to curb the feelings, distance is the only reliable way.

It’ll be hard when your precedent is to see them almost every other day, but do find a way to pull back. Telling your friend outright about your crush would be the easiest if you’re open with each other that way, but saying you need one-on-one or alone time

to deal with your boyfriend is also a perfectly good explanation, for now — you can tell your friend you’ve got a lot to figure out and you’re going to lie low until you do. That process can include extra time with your boyfriend and/or some good stretches of time alone to sort out your feelings.

What you need to figure out is whether you love your boyfriend, love the crush object, love whatever is just out of your reach, ahem — or don’t love anybody at the moment and just are having an awkward attraction at an awkward time. There’s no magic path to enlightenment, just introspection and self-control, be it ongoing or regained.

Hi, Carolyn: I just looked back at my calendar, and I’m EIGHT wedding gifts behind. It’s not like I was unable to afford gifts at the time; I have no excuse other than always being bad at responsibilities and deadlines.

But what to do? Just send cash? Ask them awkwardly what they still don’t have from their registries in my price range? Take the local ones out to dinner?

Take the local ones out to dinner, send a check and a nice card to the out-of-towners.

— Carolyn Hax

“

Dear Caroyln: I’m afraid I’m seriously crushing on my close friend’s boyfriend, who happens to be close friends with my boyfriend. We all hang out a few times a week.

My boyfriend and I have had a rough patch, and so have they. I’ve noticed that I’m developing feelings for him and I think the feeling is mutual. We haven’t said anything about it or crossed the line into inappropriate conversations; however, I feel like when we are in a group setting we just respond to each other more than anyone else.

When we are hugging goodbye, which we have always done in front of my boyfriend, his arm lingers a little too long on my back.

I know I sound like a high school girl, but it’s gotten so bad that I’ve started dreaming about being with him. I have cheated before, on my first serious boyfriend when I was a teenager, and I don’t want to do it

Take the local ones out to dinner, send a check and a nice card to the out-of-towners, laugh at yourself, and decide now on a future go-to gift that requires little planning, so you don’t keep stalling. Cash really is OK, by the way — it’s asking for it that leaves a grimy film.

You also don’t have to give a gift, but it seems as if you want to, so by all means do.

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.

Iola youth visit San Antonio for conference

By KAYLA BANZET kayla@iolaregister.com

Members of Iola’s Grace Lutheran Church ventured to San Antonio June 28-July 5 to attend the National Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod Youth Gathering.

Youth group members Hunter Laman, Brian Mueller and Mikaela Platt traveled with counselors Kim Kristalyn and her son, Seth,

by charter bus. They stopped at churches in Humboldt and Wichita on their way to Texas to pick up more youths.

The group had a jam-packed week, Kim Kristalyn said. More than 25,000 youths attended the gathering.

They listened to multiple speakers, heard Christian bands play and toured the city.

An extra outing for the

local group was a visit to Sea World. They also strolled the city’s River Walk, visited a working ranch and helped bag food for those in need at a servant event.

“We bagged lentil stew,” Kim said. “There were 96 packages in a box and we packed three boxes.”

LOS ANGELES — A diagnosis of breast cancer is more likely to lead to early death for black women than for white women, a disparity that’s mainly the result of having more health problems before cancer develops, new research shows.

Overall, 55.9 percent of the black women on Medicare who were told they had breast cancer were still alive five years later.

That compared to 68.8 percent of white women who were the same age, lived in the same area and were diagnosed in the same year, according to a study published in Wednesday’s edition of the Journal of the American Medical Association.

But the more that white women had in common with black women, the smaller the discrepancy became. When the researchers compared the black breast cancer patients with white patients

who had similar demographic characteristics as well as similar tumors, the survival gap of 12.9 percent shrank to 4.4 percent. And when the researchers focused on white patients who had not only similar demographics and tumors but who also got similar breast cancer treatments, the gap narrowed further, to 3.6 percent.

To the research team, this suggested that black women with breast cancer fared worse than whites because they were sicker to start with. For example, they noted that 26 percent of the black patients already had diabetes when they were told they had breast cancer; among the group of white women matched for age, year of cancer diagnosis and area of residence, only 15.3 percent had diabetes.
