VACANT NO MORE Haldex plant is purchased by Texas manufacturer

The Haldex plant at the northwest edge of Iola will spring back to life soon.

Catalyst Artificial Lift, LLC, a Gainesville, Texas-based manufacturer and wholesaler of oilfield reciprocating rod pumps, Tuesday afternoon completed purchase of the 150,000-square-foot manufacturing facility. The relocation of Catalyst’s Kansas operations will allow the company to expand its subsidiary in Humboldt, long known as 2 R Tool, from 22 existing positions to 120 employees over the next five years. Five jobs are expected to be added soon after the move, the date — probably by fall — of which will depend on refitting the Haldex structure.

Catalyst acquired 2 R Tool about 15 months ago.

Catalyst’s expansion project is the largest job announcement in Allen County since Russell Stover Candies announced construction of a new plant in Iola in 1994.

“

This expansion is a cornerstone to Catalyst being able to grow its business.

— Catalyst President Bruce Jendusa

The Haldex plant, where brake components for over-the-road trucks and other large vehicles were manufactured since the 1970s, closed in 2011 when its operations were moved to Monterrey, Mexico. The plant’s closing put 160 peo-

Permit approved for pipeline

By BOB JOHNSON bob@iolaregister.com

Enbridge cleared a hurdle to start construction of its Flanagan Pipeline through the area when Allen County commissioners ratified a recommendation of its planning board to grant the company a special use permit Tuesday afternoon.

The permit was sought so Enbridge could build a pump station and related facilities on a 40-acre tract two miles southeast of Humboldt.

Enbridge intends to build a 600-mile-long, 36-inch pipeline to carry crude oil — from North Dakota, Montana and Canadian fields — from Flanagan, Ill., to Cushing, Okla.

Oil will be stored at Cushing before distribution to refineries in several states.

The planners’ recommen-

dation was for the permit to be granted, and included a provision for Monarch Cement Co. to restrict quarry blasting, when it begins in that area, to no closer than 300 feet of the property’s boundaries. Monarch owns adjacent land.

And therein comes the rub.

Monarch is not eager to risk liability for what might occur from blasting, including flying debris that could threaten the pump station, although it will be enclosed in a “big barn-like structure,” said Enbridge’s Keith McLaughlin.

Enbridge first sought to purchase a tract owned by Monarch, but then shifted its interest to an adjacent 40 acres it purchased from Dale Daniels, which has been pastureland for years.

Meanwhile, the two compa-

nies remain in negotiations that may be close to giving Enbridge title to the nearby Monarch 40 acres, which would alleviate concerns about blasting.

Ed Bideau, Chanute attorney representing Monarch, asked commissioners to put off a decision on the planners’ recommendation, first for a month, then two weeks and finally a week, so negotiations for purchase of the Monarch property, which he said were near completion, could play out. Commissioners had delayed a decision two weeks earlier.

When a delay didn’t seem forthcoming, Bideau asked commissioners — sitting, he said, as a judicial body in the matter — only to consider evSee ENBRIDGE | Page A5

ple out of work.

Gates Corporation, which has leased a portion of the structure the past 18 months, will continue as a tenant.

“Catalyst is very excited to move its manufacturing operation into a significantly larger space in Iola,” said Bruce Jendusa, Catalyst Artificial Lift president. “This will enable Catalyst to increase production of its existing downhole pump products,” as well as expand offerings of oilfield equipment it makes.

“Catalyst feels fortunate for the skilled labor pool to draw from in Iola, and looks forward to becoming a good neighbor in the community,” he said. “This expansion is a cornerstone to Catalyst being able to grow its business.”

Although I’m not their mother I care for them each day, I cuddle, sing and read to them And watch them as they play.

I see each new accomplishment, I help them grow and learn.

I understand their language, I listen with concern.

They come to me for comfort, And I kiss away their tears.

They proudly show their work to me I give the loudest cheers!

No, I’m not their mother, But my role is just as strong.

I nurture them and keep them safe, Though maybe not for long.

I know someday the time will come, When we will have to part.

But I know each child I cared for, Is forever in my heart!

-Author Unknown Edna, you, too, will forever be in our hearts!

Speaker tells history ‘one patch at a time’

By STEVEN SCHWARTZ steven@iolaregister.com

“There’s history sewn into quilts, one patch at a time,” Iolan Judy McGraw said of the historical significance of the functional and artistic medium.

McGraw presented a brief example of the history of quilting, along with examples of her own creations, during the Allen County Historical Society’s summer meeting Tuesday evening.

McGraw started her presentation at the most basic — “what is a quilt?” She explained the decorative side, the backing, patterns and the batting — the filling material inside the quilt.

Her historical descriptions started with the ancient Egyptians, and then moved forward to more modern times.

“Years were spent quilting and making them,” she said.

Quilts were originally meant as a functional household item, McGraw said. Before textiles, it was one of the few ways for people to stay warm. Even after textile manufacturing came to the United States in the 1800s, the Civil War created issues. The cotton was produced in the south, but the north had the textile mills. Women from both sides of the war were forced to return to their skills of handcrafting quilts.

Abolitionists used quilt patterns as signals to the runaway slaves as well. They would hang log cabin quilts on the railings of their homes to signal a safe house.

Following the war, McGraw said quilting took more of a recreational and artistic

Today

vein. Women began experimenting with different styles in the 1920s and 1930s. Newspapers, like the Kansas City Star, began publishing different quilting patterns once a week for women to try their hand.

Yet, once again, families were forced handcraft quilts for survival in the Great Depression. Following World War II, quilting took a dramatic plunge in popularity due to the rise in technology and manufacturing.

“For many, quilting was seen as lean times and making due,” McGraw said.

In the late 1960s quilting made a comeback, however, and has remained popular in the United States. She said the uses of quilting are endless — from artistic expression, providing warmth or recording a family’s history.

MCGRAW SHOWED OFF her own creations

as well during the meeting.

The stacks of handcrafted quilts were only a fraction of the quilts she has made.

When asked how many she had made, she simply replied, “I don’t know.”

One by one, she showed the quilts — designs of state birds, flowers, signature quilts from weddings and grand champion fair winning quilts.

McGraw began quilting when she was just 11, and has been honing her craft ever since. She showed the first quilt she created, a brown and yellow patterned design. She said it was simple, if even by her standards — the audience was still impressed.

Financial Focus Tips for Setting — and Pursuing — Financial Goals

You can get lucky by finding a parking meter with time left on it. You can “luck out” by having nice weather on your vacation. You can even be lucky at love. But when it comes to financial matters, you’re better off not counting on Lady Luck — and focusing instead on setting and pursuing goals.

Here are some suggestions for establishing and pursuing your financial objectives: • Be specific. You probably have a lot of ideas about what you want to do, but if you’re going to turn these wishes into reality, you need to get specific. So, for example, instead of telling yourself that you want to retire early, set a goal of retiring at, say, 62. You can then use this target number to help guide your overall investment strategy. To illustrate: You can determine that you need to invest a certain amount of money each year, and earn a certain rate of return, to be able to retire at 62. You can also estimate about how much money you can afford to withdraw from your investment accounts each year to sustain a retirement that begins at 62.

• Prioritize your goals. Of course, you want to achieve all your financial goals —and you can have a better chance of doing so if you rank these goals in terms of both importance and timing. For example, you may want to send your kids to college, purchase a vacation home and still be able to retire at age 62. How should you allocate your resources to each of these goals? Should you invest more at any given time for a specific goal? What types of investments are best for each of these goals? Prioritizing your goals can help you answer these and other questions — and help direct your overall investment strategy.

• Be prepared to change your goals. Over time, your family and financial circumstances can change considerably — which means you shouldn’t be surprised, or alarmed, if you have to change your goals accordingly.

And you’ll find it easier to maintain this flexibility if you’ve worked diligently to create an investment portfolio with sufficient resources to allow you to change direction, as needed.

• Review your progress regularly. If you’re going to eventually achieve your goals, you absolutely need to measure your progress along the way. Are your investments performing the way you had anticipated? Are your goals becoming more expensive than you had initially envisioned? To achieve these goals, are you taking on too much — or too little — risk? To answer these types of questions, it’s a good idea to review your overall progress at least once a year and then make whatever adjustments may be necessary.

As you can see, it will take considerable effort to set, review and (hopefully) achieve your goals. And it can be somewhat complex, too, so you may want to work with a financial professional — someone who takes time to talk with you about your goals, understands your risk tolerance and family situation, and has the training and experience necessary to help you work toward your objectives.

But in any case, think hard about your goals and how you might accomplish them. And don’t delay in taking action — because goals are generally easier to attain if you have time on your side.

Peace deal set for nine months Isreal, Palestine to continue negotiations

By MATTHEW LEE AP Diplomatic Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) — Israeli and Palestinian negotiators agreed Tuesday to meet again within two weeks to start substantive negotiations on a so-far elusive peace deal with the goal of reaching a deal within nine months, Secretary of State John Kerry said.

Speaking as the two sides wrapped up an initial two days of talks at the State Department after paying a visit to President Barack Obama at the White House, Kerry said Israel and the Palestinians were committed to “sustained, continuous and substantive negotiations on the core issues” that divide them. He said the next round of negotiations would take place in either Israel or the Palestinian territories at an as yet-unspecified date before mid-August.

“The parties have agreed here today that all of the final status issues, all of the core issues and all other issues are all on the table for negotiation.

And they are on the table with one simple goal: a view to ending the conflict,” Kerry said. “Our objective will be to achieve a final status agreement over the course of the next nine months.”

U.S. officials had previously said the negotiations would continue for a minimum of nine months without setting that as a timeframe for reaching

a deal. Kerry said he was aware of the deep skepticism surrounding the new push for peace and acknowledged that the road ahead would be difficult.

Yet, he said he was hopeful an agreement could be reached. “While I understand the skepticism, I don’t share it. And I don’t think we have time for it,” he said.

“I firmly believe the leaders, the negotiators and citizens invested in this effort can make peace for one simple reason: because they must,” Kerry said. “A viable two-state solution is the only way this conflict can end. And there is not much time to achieve it. And there is no other alternative.”

Kerry said the negotiations, to be mediated on a day-to-day basis by his new Mideast peace envoy, Martin Indyk, would be cloaked in secrecy and that the parties had agreed that he would be the only person to comment on them. He quickly added that he would not comment on them, leaving unclear the framework for the talks that he struggled for six months to get back on track.

Despite the secrecy, the broad outlines of an agreement are well known: the Palestinians want a state based on the lines, with agreed land swaps, that existed before the 1967 war in which Israel seized east Jerusalem and occupied the West Bank and Gaza. Israel wants security assurances and a recognition that it is and will remain a Jewish state.

Obama laid out those parameters as U.S. policy for any negotiations in a May 2010 speech but nei-

ther the Israelis nor the Palestinians has publicly signed off on them. U.S. officials said Tuesday the talks would proceed under the framework Obama announced in that speech but Kerry did not mention that in his comments.

Instead, he said only that the two sides had agreed that all “final status issues, all of the core issues and all other issues” would be on the table for negotiation. Those issues include security, borders, the status of Jerusalem, the fate of Palestinian refugees and water, all of which have been responsible for cratering multiple U.S.-brokered peace efforts over the past two decades.

Earlier Tuesday, Obama and Vice President Joe Biden met with the lead negotiators — Israeli Justice Minister Tzipi Livni and senior Palestinian official Saeb Erekat — for about 30 minutes. White House spokesman Jay Carney said Obama called the meeting to “directly express his personal support for final status negotiations.” Obama pledged full U.S. support to the process, Carney said.

At the State Department ceremony, Kerry was flanked by Livni and Erekat — who each spoke briefly about the need to resolve the long-standing conflict.

“It’s time for the Palestinian people to have an independent sovereign state of their own,” said Erekat, who spoke first.

“It’s time for the Palestinians to live in peace, freedom and dignity within their own independent, sovereign state.”

~ Journalism that makes a difference

More jobs are on the way; now about housing Tuesday was a red-letter day in Iola.

Several weeks of negotiations came to fruition with the announcement that Catalyst Artificial Lift, LLC, a Gainesville, Texas, company, would relocate 2 R Tool, a subsidiary with its origin in Humboldt, to the Haldex building.

Iola and Allen County played a role, as did Iola Industries. Thrive Allen County also had an active hand in making arrangements for Catalyst’s acquisition of the building and the move of 22 jobs.

Humboldt lost a business in the process, but it was an outcome that was going to occur — Catalyst has big plans for the downhole pump manufacturer — and by relocation to the Haldex building jobs were kept in Allen County.

The good news is made better by Catalyst’s announcement that it plans to expand the company’s manufacturing role and add jobs, with more than 100 expected within five year.

Haldex closed in 2011, which put 160 people out of work. The plant moved operations to Monterrey, Mexico. Some terminated by the move were in position to retire, others caught on with other local companies and a few

had to go elsewhere to find work.

Industries Iola has are growing — help wanted ads from several often are found on the Register’s classified advertising page — and Catalyst’s plans will mean even more employment opportunities here.

An outcome of the latest industrial good news is that we need to double down in finding housing for people who work in Iola and don’t live here but would like to. Increased job opportunities will make the need for affordable housing even more acute.

Additional housing in the Cedarbrook area is in planning stages and some older homes may become available when the senior housing project on North Kentucky Street turns to reality.

Maybe, too, another developer or two will realize the urgency of opportunities available in Iola and take to heart the “build it and they will come” mantra.

An often repeated concern is “we need jobs in Iola.”

Now that we have another infusion, let’s make the best of it and encourage growth in associated sectors.

Egypt’s dangerous slide Deadly blundering by Egypt’s military rulers is making a bad situation much worse. Last weekend’s massacre of marchers supporting the deposed president, Mohamed Morsi will make national reconciliation and a return to democracy difficult.

The stakes are too high for any country to give up on the search for peace. Egyptians, of course, bear the main burden; Washington’s leverage has been limited, despite $1.5 billion in annual military aid, and its good intentions undermined by years of inconsistent American policies. President Obama urgently needs to rebuild that trust. And he cannot hope to do so by maintaining a cautious diplomatic silence while the Arab world’s most populous and most important country unravels.

Whatever Egypt’s new mili-

tary strongman, Gen. AbdulFattah el-Sisi, thought he was doing by summoning people to Tahrir Square last Friday to demand a “mandate” to fight terrorism, the result was to undermine Egypt’s prospects for stability even further.

Whatever self-described prodemocracy groups thought they were doing by endorsing his call, the result was to strengthen the military and inflame raw divisions between civilian parties. And whatever the Muslim Brotherhood leaders thought they were doing by urging followers to challenge security forces, the result was to add to the bloodshed and give the military new excuses for repression.

At least 80 of Mr. Morsi’s supporters were killed last weekend, and hundreds more were shot by riot police officers. The responsibility for

this tragedy is primarily General Sisi’s. The military, not the nominal transitional government, holds real political power at this point. A broad popular insurrection, not just withdrawal of military support, drove Hosni Mubarak from power two years ago.

That led to free elections, and continuing civilian challenges to the sectarian excesses of Muslim Brotherhood rule. But right now, civilian politics suffers from a lack of effective leadership. The military has stepped into that vacuum, putting all that has been gained since 2011 at grave risk. And things are likely to get worse until the military returns turn to the barracks.

Most of all, President Obama needs to clarify what America stands for as Egypt struggles over its future.

Two views

Sabotaging the health care law A dozen Republicans in the Senate have said they’d rather shut down the government than provide funding for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the 2010 healthcare reform law better known as Obamacare. Meanwhile, more than 60 Republicans in the House have called on their leadership to cut off all federal support for the law in the coming fiscal year. And they complain when President Obama doesn’t hold up his end of the bargain?

The GOP’s irresponsible threats are just the latest in a long series of attempts to undermine the law and obstruct its implementation. Lacking the votes to repeal the law or any of its major provisions, they’ve waged a guerrilla war against it. Granted, the Obama administration hasn’t helped matters by falling behind on the rules needed to administer the law’s provisions. But at least it’s making a good-faith effort.

Not so for the law’s critics, who are eager to bring about the dire outcome that they’ve predicted. There’s no better example than the bill the House GOP leadership rushed through the chamber this month to delay the law’s requirement that virtually all adult Americans obtain health insurance in 2014. Without a mandate to compel healthy people to carry coverage, insurers would wind up with a sicker, riskier group of customers than they have now, driving up premiums and making insurance unaffordable to

more families. That’s just the sort of disaster conservatives have said Obamacare would bring about, except they’d be the ones causing it.

Although the law is long and complex, its interlocking goals are the right ones: to improve the healthcare system by making insurance available to more people, encouraging prevention and wellness, slowing the rise in costs and promoting high-quality care. As with any major change, the Affordable Care Act is bound to yield some unintended and unwelcome consequences. We’ve seen a few already, as some companies have limited or reduced their workers’ hours to avoid having to offer them coverage.

What’s unusual this time is that Congress hasn’t tried to address the inevitable problems that have cropped up by amending the law. Instead, lawmakers have fought round after round over the GOP’s efforts to replace Obamacare with … nothing. The current gambit to shut down the government unless the law is defunded is so extreme that even some conservative Republican senators have backed away or even denounced it. Yet it’s the logical extension of the GOP’s all-or-nothing approach to the healthcare law. Rather than trying to make the law work, they’re doing everything they can to help it fail, even if some constituents are hurt in the process.

That’s just wrong, no matter how you feel about Obamacare.

— The New York Times

Individuals can’t afford Obamacare The costs of Obamacare’s individual insurance mandate should worry every Nevadan, not just those currently without coverage.

The Silver State Health Insurance Exchange, the state-run Obamacare brokerage, last week released preliminary 2014 premiums for Nevada’s individual insurance market. As opponents of the health care reform law have long warned and feared, they’re expensive.

Come Jan. 1, all Americans must purchase health insurance or pay a penalty tax of $95 or 1 percent of their adjusted gross income, whichever is higher. The vast majority of insured Nevadans have their coverage through their employers or unions. Just 15.4 percent of the state’s insured currently purchase their coverage through the individual market.

That figure will increase, and not simply because the mandate takes effect in five months. An untold number of employers are expected to drop coverage for their workers as a result of premium increases. Because President Barack Obama has delayed for one year the Affordable Care Act’s employer mandate — a penalty tax on companies that don’t offer medical benefits but have at least 50 fulltime-equivalent employees — businesses now have an incentive to dump their insurance.

Plenty of Nevadans who currently have health insur-

ance very well might find themselves in the market for an individual policy by this fall.

They won’t like what they find.

As the Review-Journal’s Jennifer Robison reported last week, today Southern Nevadans can find individ-

qualify for tax credits to offset some of those costs.

But for those working parttime and temporary jobs to get by, and for the young and healthy, even subsidized premiums will be unaffordable.

They’ll pay the penalty tax and remain uninsured.

As a result, the exchange’s catastrophic plans for Southern Nevadans in their 20s start at about $150 per month. A 40-yearold in need of a plan comparable to typical employer coverage can expect to pay up to $300 per month.

ual catastrophic policies online for as little as $29 per month. High-deductible PPOs are available for about $83 per month. But Obamacare piles new coverage mandates and rules on top of ones already in effect, including caps on premiums for older Americans that necessitate higher costs on younger, healthier men and women. As a result, the exchange’s catastrophic plans for Southern Nevadans in their 20s start at about $150 per month. A 40-year-old in need of a plan comparable to typical employer coverage can expect to pay up to $300 per month.

Plans for rural and Northern Nevadans cost even more.

The rates won’t be finalized until Sept. 1, and those who purchase coverage through the exchange can

Last month, researchers from Harvard University and the City University of New York estimated that about 300,000 Nevadans will remain uninsured after Obamacare takes effect, a figure that matches the state’s own projections.

Nationally, the researchers estimate that about 30 million Americans will decline coverage.

Such a lack of participation would send premiums even higher and collapse the exchanges. This design flaw is one reason why the federal government is spending $700 million marketing Obamacare to persuade Americans to sign up.

It won’t work. There’s no sweetening this lemon.

Repeal and replace this policy disaster.

The Iola Register

IFD receives grant funding H Plant Will use for planning software

Continued from A1

By STEVEN SCHWARTZ steven@iolaregister.com

What may be a small drop in the bucket for the Iola Fire Department’s overall budget, will help ease the work of building inspectors and keep public buildings and businesses safer.

Kayla Works, with FM Global, stopped by the fire department Tuesday morning to present emergency personnel with a $2,000 check, which will be used for a laptop with pre-planning software.

“It’ll make their (the inspectors) jobs a whole lot easier,” Fire Chief Donald Leapheart said of the software program.

The software helps lay out different public buildings — such as schools and hospitals — so the firefighters may map out access points, hydrants, truck parking and emergency exits. Currently, Leapheart said pre-planning is done manually on index cards and reports.

This software will allow

“We put all of this data in, and it allows us to be able to use it,” he said. “We try to look at our schools (and other public buildings) before there is ever an accident.”

The fire department has three inspectors, who are trained and certified by the state. They regularly check build-

ings in the city to make sure they are safe and up to code.

“We take so much into consideration,” Leapheart said. “There are a lot of things that go on with this.”

He said while the cost is small, it saves some of the department’s general fund revenue, raised through property taxes.

FM Global is a national commercial property insurer based out of Rhode Island. It has a

regional office in Kansas City.

EARLIER THIS year, the fire department was approved for a $147,000 grant from the federal government for Scott air packs. The air packs are used when firefighters enter a structure that is on fire. Leapheart said there are some delays with the paperwork, but the department is expecting funds for the packs soon.

Commissioner Tom Williams also said he would lean on comments he gleaned from conversations with constituents.

Bideau was picky about the proceedings because of what may transpire.

If the two companies don’t strike a deal on adjacent land owned

by Monarch, recourse might be an appeal to District Court of the commissioners’ approval of the special use permit.

Williams moved to accept the planners’ recommendation, noting the area “has an abundance” of pipelines and support facilities and that it is not unusual for a pipeline to run under farmland.

Also, he said, “pipe-

lines in today’s world are significant to the area and to the country.”

Jim Talkington gave a second and Chairman Dick Works made acceptance unanimous.

BILL KING, director of Public Works, encouraged commissioners not to tap his department’s special bridge fund to help hold down the county’s overall tax levy for 2014.

Initial draft of the upcoming budget included an ad valorem tax levy increase of about 20 mills.

That had been pared to just over 16 by Tuesday and commissioners expect it to be lowered more before a budget’s final version is proposed.

“I’m not asking for more money, I just want you to leave what’s in the fund there,” King said of money that provides the county’s share for bridge replacement and pays for maintenance work.

Public notice (First Published in The Iola Register July 31, 2013)

King said a contract may be let later this year for a bridge over Owl Creek, about two miles west of Humboldt, and his plan was to replace the Indian Creek bridge, a mile and a half east of Neosho Falls, in 2014.

“We may try to stall that one,” he said.

IOLA Administrator Carl Slaugh said he was “continuing to mull over” the commissioners’ contract offer for Iola to run countywide ambulance service.

“I’m seeing more and more challenges,” he said. “I’m optimistic we’ll come up with the cost of equipment and facilities,” but has concerns about personnel issues.

Slaugh said he had talked at length with county ambulance crews, as well as those dispatched with city ambulances, and that some contentiousness had surfaced.

“The biggest hurdle

is personnel and schedules,” he said, allowing that he didn’t think providing Type 1 service would be a problem.

Type I service has a paramedic on board for each ambulance run, which has been the county’s approach for about five years.

Slaugh and commissioners may meet again before the next city council meeting on Aug. 12.

COMMISSIONERS accepted two bids, one for painting of the senior center in Humboldt and a second for salt that would be used if winter weather turns severe and ice and snow make travel difficult.

Ken’s Painting, Iola, had the lower bid at $1,840 to paint the senior center. Central Salt had the lowest of three bids for 125 tons of salt at $6,233.75, or $49.87 a ton.

They agreed to several things: — City electric crews will complete all exterior work, including a new transformer, trenching, wire conduit and connection to the Haldex plant. The work, including cost of transformer, will be about $30,000 and will be accomplished in about a week.

Catalyst’s electrical contractor will do interior work.

— Iola will waive 100 percent of permit and inspections fees, and provide expedited plan review.

— City crews will refit some interior plumbing, including removal of a 20-foot-by20-foot section of concrete and installation of a three-inch floor drain. Concrete removed will be replaced in a slope to the drain.

Cost will be about $4,000 and work will take about a week.

— Iola will provide $15,000 of the cash incentive, Allen County and Iola Industries $7,500 each.

Three Whitehead scholars selected Three Allen County students who graduated in May have won $10,000 Helen Gates Whitehead Scholarships.

They are Abigail St. Clair, Iola, Judiah Hawley, Humboldt, and MaRyiah Cavender, Moran.

Jim Immel, a Whitehead trustee, said financial need was not a requirement for being selected, but there are study requirements.

Those selected must intent to pursue majors in

fine arts or graphic arts at any school, or home economics at Kansas State University, which was Whitehead’s alma mater.

The first scholarship was awarded in 1990, and to date 108 have been given. Of current recipients, nine are students at Kansas State, four at Allen Community College, three at Pittsburg State University and one each at the University of Kansas and Labette County Community College.

Moose, Santana pace Royals

By JON KRAWCZYNSKI

The Iola Soccer Club will have tryouts Aug. 17 and 18 for youngsters ages 9-14 to play in games this fall.

The club is forming three age groups: 10-and-under, 12-and-under and 14-andunder.

Tryouts will be at the north soccer field at Allen Community College.

Hopefuls are asked to make it both days if possible, and to wear shin guards and cleats.

The 10-and-under tryouts will run from 4 to 5:45 p.m. both days. Those in the 12and 14-and-under groups will try out from 6 to 8 o’clock.

The cutoff date to determine ages is Aug. 1, 2014.

The club will play in a league based out of Paola.

AP Sports Writer

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Ervin Santana heard his name bandied about in trade rumors in recent weeks, with yet another season threatening to swirl down the drain in Kansas City.

Thanks to a post-All-Star break surge, the Royals no longer appear to be in selling mode.

Mike Moustakas homered twice and drove in four runs to back another strong start

by Santana, and the Royals beat the Minnesota Twins 7-2 Tuesday night for their seventh straight victory.

Santana (7-6) gave up two runs on four hits and struck out eight in seven innings and Eric Hosmer had three hits and an RBI for the Royals, who have won nine of 11 coming out of the All-Star break. At 52-51, they are over .500 for the first time since May 18.

“Everything so far (is going right),” Santana said. “Our defense, offense, pitching very good. Everything is very good for us right now.”

Mike Pelfrey (4-9) gave up four runs on eight hits with four strikeouts in four innings for the Twins. Joe Mauer had two hits and an RBI after missing the last week for the birth of his twin girls.

Santana retired the last 10 batters he faced, striking out five of them. Miguel Tejada added two hits and an RBI. “He’s the magic man,” Moustakas said of Santana.

“It’s awesome. Any time he goes out on the mound, you know he’s going to deal, you

After missing six games on paternity leave, Mauer promptly ripped a single to left field on the first pitch he saw from Santana for a 1-0 lead.

“It felt good to get out there,” Mauer said. “I haven’t been out there in a while. But I was surprisingly good with the timing at the plate. I’m pleased, I guess, with that.”

The Royals were having dif-

ficulty squaring the ball up against Pelfrey in the early going, with Tejada picking up two bloop singles, the last a dribbler up the middle that got Kansas City on the board in the third. Moustakas followed with a long, three-run homer to right-center, one of the deepest parts of Target Field.

Moustakas drove a pitch from Brian Duensing over the wall in right field in the eighth for his second career multihomer game.

MLB tells union which players it plans to suspend

By RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — Major League Baseball has told the union which players it intends to suspend in its drug investigation and which ones will receive lengthier penalties for their roles in the Biogenesis case.

The sides are trying to reach as many agreements as possible that would avoid grievance hearings, and talks could push back an announcement until Friday, two people familiar with the See MLB | Page B2

Wreck kills Texas A&M player ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A Texas A&M freshman lineman and an incoming member of the Utah football team have died in a rollover crash in New Mexico, officials said Tuesday.

Polo Manukainiu, a redshirt freshman at Texas A&M, and Gaius Vaenuku were among three teens killed in the crash, Texas A&M said in a statement.

The wreck occurred Monday on U.S. 550 just north of Cuba.

State Police said in a report that Manukainiu, 19, and Vaenuku were

passengers in a 2002 Toyota Sequoia traveling southbound on the highway, according to the school’s statement. The vehicle drifted off of the road, the driver overcorrected, and the vehicle rolled several times.

Manukainiu and another passenger, Andrew Uhatafe, were ejected and died at the scene, the statement said. Vaenuku was transported from the scene but was pronounced dead in an ambulance.

The driver and a fifth passenger were transported to a hospital with

minor injuries. Officials said alcohol wasn’t involved and it appeared the driver was the only one wearing a seatbelt, authorities said.

“We lost a terrific young man,” Texas A&M head football coach Kevin Sumlin said. “Polo was loved by his teammates and coaches. Anyone who came in contact with him was struck by his sense of humor and smile. My heart aches for his mom and family members.”

Manukainiu, 19, played football at Trinity High School in Euless,

“Taking hundreds of swings every day and just trying to get that good feel back,” said Moustakas, who is hitting .303 with three homers since the break.

“Feeling the barrel and today I found it.”

tive in an AL Central division that could be the worst in baseball.

Longtime cornerstone Justin Morneau has heard his name raised in trade rumors, as have several of the team’s accomplished relievers, including setup man Jared Burton and left-hander Duensing. General manager Terry Ryan said before the game that it was no secret the team was in sell mode, but he said he couldn’t make a prediction of whether a deal would get done before the deadline at 3 p.m. CDT today.

Santana took the mound with his name bandied about as a possible trade candidate as well. That he was allowed to pitch against the Twins could be a strong indication that he’s unlikely to change teams.

Pitching hasn’t been the problem the entire year for the Royals. But now that their offense appears to be coming around, things are looking up.

“Moose has been coming. (Hosmer) has been coming,” manager Ned Yost said. “These kids are really starting to swing the bat well.”

talks told The Associated Press.

The meeting between MLB and the union on Tuesday, first reported by the New York Daily News, signaled the final stretch of talks.

MLB hopes to announce the penalties for all players involved at the same time, both people said, speaking on condition of anonymity because no announcements were authorized.

Three-time MVP Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees stands to receive the longest suspension. While 50 games is the standard for a first offense, the stiffer penalties for some players are tied to other alleged violations, including not being truthful to MLB investigators.

Three 2013 All-Stars could face bans: Texas outfielder Nelson Cruz, San Diego shortstop Everth Cabrera and Detroit shortstop Jhonny Peralta. In a sign Peralta’s suspension is imminent, the Tigers acquired dJose Iglesias from Boston Tuesday in a three-way trade with the Chicago White Sox.

Kansas briefs Deputies accused in funds case

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Two Kansas sheriff ’s deputies have been arrested on suspicion of stealing taxpayer money.

Sedgwick County Sheriff Jeff Easter announced the arrests Tuesday without naming the deputies. Easter says the case has been turned over to the district attorney’s office.

The deputies worked in the transportation division, taking inmates between jails. Easter says the arrests followed a two-week investigation.

No other details about the alleged theft of public money were released, and Easter said he would not comment further.

Both deputies were booked into the Sedgwick County jail, one on suspicion of giving false information and the other on suspicion of false information and official misconduct.

cal transport service that has had three deadly helicopter crashes in Oklahoma since 2010 says it has advanced to a higher level of a voluntary federal safety program.

Wichita, Kan.-based EagleMed LLC announced Tuesday it has entered the second level of the Federal Aviation Administration’s Safety Management System.

The company says it has been working with the FAA for more than 18 months on the process that is designed as a higher standard for safety in air medical transport services.

The company’s third deadly crash happened last month when a patient died after a medical helicopter crashed near the Choctaw National Health Care Center in Talihina in southeastern Oklahoma.

Search on for two suspects in home invasion

HILLSDALE, Kan. (AP) — The search continues for two suspects who broke into a northeast Kansas home and

tied up the female resident.

The search began Tuesday and was concentrated for most of the day northeast of Louisburg in Miami County.

Authorities say three men broke into a home in the unincorporated town of Hillsdale Tuesday morning. Police said they tied the woman up, ransacked her home and fled.

After a car carrying the suspects was stopped, one of the men was quickly captured but the other two escaped into the woods.

Twister damage

This is one of two residences near Elsmore Lake damaged by a small, freakish tornado that popped into the area with Monday evening’s thunderstorm. Several trees also were uprooted and many limbs were felled.

Medicaid program focus of meeting TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — After some hesitation from a top Republican, Kansas legislative leaders have decided that a committee monitoring the state’s overhaul of its Medicaid program will have two days of meetings later this year.

The Lawrence Journal-World reports that

Senate President Susan Wagle said this week that she wanted to hear from the leaders of the House and Senate health committees before committing to meetings of the oversight committee.

Medicaid covers medical services for the needy and disabled.

Gov. Sam Brownback

turned over administration of most of the program this year to three private health insurance companies.

Democrats said during a meeting of legislative leaders that they thought oversight is important. Wagle and House Speaker Ray Merrick then agreed to the meetings.

Officials resist push for anti-abortion bill TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Republican Gov. Sam Brownback and GOP legislative leaders strongly oppose abortion, but they’re resisting a group’s lobbying to have the agenda for a special legislative session in September include a proposed ban on most abortions after the first weeks of pregnancy.

Mark Gietzen, chairman of the Wichitabased Kansas Coalition for Life, said Tuesday that the group wants legislators to consider its fetal heartbeat legislation. The measure would require doctors to

John Hanna An AP news analysis

check for a fetal heartbeat before terminating a pregnancy. Except for medical emergencies, the measure would ban the procedure if a heartbeat were detected. That can occur as early as the sixth week of pregnancy.

Abortion opponents are divided over whether the expected legal challenge to such a ban

would prompt the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn its historic 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, which guarantees a woman’s right to abortion, although the justices have allowed increased state restrictions since. Kansans for Life, the most influential anti-abortion group at the Statehouse, has worried that enacting a fetal heartbeat ban would prompt a court ruling undoing some limits on abortion and providers.

The Republican governor is calling the GOPdominated Legislature into special session Sept.

3 to rewrite the state’s “Hard 50” criminal sentencing law. The statute allows judges to sentence convicted murders to life in prison with no chance of parole for 50 years, but a U.S. Supreme Court ruling last month raised questions about its constitutionality.

“It should remain narrowly focused on that issue,” Brownback spokeswoman Eileen Hawley said.

Brownback and Republican legislative leaders have been adamant so far that they want the special session to last only a few days. Top

legislators can restrict the flow of legislation in each chamber, and they’ve moved to prevent most committees from calling in any staff.

“My goal is to deal with only one issue during the special session,” said Senate President Susan Wagle, a Wichita Republican.

Gietzen said his group already was planning to push Brownback for a special session on the fetal heartbeat legislation when the governor scheduled the session on the Hard 50 law.

“We’re going to be knocking on their door,”

*HW 3DLG WR /RVH WR OEV 3HU :HHN

Gietzen said.

Thirty-two House members sponsored the coalition’s fetal heartbeat legislation during this year’s regular legislative session, which formally adjourned in June.

Both chambers have anti-abortion supermajorities, and Brownback has signed every anti-abortion measure approved since he took office in January 2011.

Yet the coalition’s fetal heartbeat proposal didn’t get a vote in a House committee during this year’s regular session.

Showtime hints at ‘Dexter’ spinoff BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Showtime’s president is hinting that a “Dexter” spin-off may be forthcoming.

David Nevins said Tuesday that Showtime has signed a two-year deal with Scott Buck, the executive producer of “Dexter.” The serial killer drama starring Michael C. Hall is in its eighth and final season.

Showtime says Buck will be working with the premium cable channel on several new projects.

At a Television Critics Association meeting, Nevins was asked if there will be a follow-up series to “Dexter.” In response, the Showtime executive noted the deal with producer Buck and suggested that reporters draw their own conclusion.

Asked later about the possibility, Nevins acknowledged that he dropped a “tease” about a spinoff, but said that for now the focus is on a satisfying end to “Dexter.”

Rowling accepts donation LONDON (AP) — Author J.K. Rowling accepted an apology and a charitable donation Wednesday from a law firm which revealed she wrote a crime novel under a pseudonym.

The “Harry Potter” author was exposed by a newspaper on July 14 as the author of “The Cuckoo’s Calling,” a thriller ostensibly written by former soldier and first-time novelist Robert Galbraith.

The book was published in April to good reviews but modest sales, and there was speculation that Rowling or her publisher had leaked the news to raise the book’s profile.

But the law firm Russells, which has done work for Rowling, acknowledged that one of its partners had let the information slip to his wife’s best friend, who tweeted it to a Sunday Times columnist.

Rowling sued the lawyer and the friend. Her attorney, Jenny Afia, told Britain’s High Court on Wednesday that Rowling had been left “angry and distressed that her confidences had been betrayed.”

“As a reflection of their regret for breach of the claimant’s confidence, including frustrating the claimant’s ability to continue to write anonymously under the name Robert Galbraith, the defendants are here today to apologize publicly to the claimant,” Afia said.

Russells agreed to reimburse Rowling’s legal costs and to make a “substantial” donation to The Soldiers’ Charity, which helps former military personnel and their families.

Rowling also said she was donating all royalties from the book for the next three years to the charity.

The hero of her novel, Cormoran Strike, is a veteran who lost a leg in Afghanistan, and Rowling has said she drew on conversations with serving soldiers and veterans to create the character.

“This donation is being made to The Soldiers’ Charity partly as a thank you to the army people who helped me with research, but also because writing a hero who is a veteran has given me an even greater appreciation and understanding of exactly how much this charity does for ex-servicemen and their families, and how much that support is needed,” Rowling said in a statement.

The writer said she had always intended to give part of Galbraith’s royalties to the organization, “but I had not anticipated him making the best-seller list a mere three months after publication — indeed, I had not counted on him ever being there!”

Since Rowling was outed as the author, “The Cuckoo’s Calling” has topped best-seller lists in Britain and the United States.

Drunk or not, alcohol causes damage over time Dear Dr. Roach: My question is regarding my husband. We have argued several times about his drinking habits, so I have decided to enlist your help in determining if I am making a mountain out of a molehill or not.

My husband’s job requires him to work for two to three days at a time. During those times he is on call 24/7 and is unable to drink. He has no problem doing so. After his shifts, he is off for two to three days at a time, usually equaling three to four days per week. While home he enjoys having his beer.

He drinks it like some people might drink soda.

He drinks four to eight cans of beer a day starting at lunch (most days) and continuing throughout the rest of the evening. He hardly ever gets drunk (maybe six times a year) and only in social situations.

My concern is for his health. I am worried about what that amount

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health of alcohol can do over time. Most articles talk about binge drinking.

Does it matter whether the alcohol is consumed over a longer or shorter amount of time? What are the possible health complications from my husband’s type of drinking? — W.M. Answer: You probably have read that consuming moderate amounts of alcohol is good for your heart. “Moderate” is defined as up to one drink a day for women or two drinks a day for men. There remains some controversy about that. People who drink moderately have low rates of heart disease, but it’s not 100 percent clear that it’s the alcohol that is causing the benefit.

It is clear, however, that drinking in excess

of four drinks daily is very bad for your health.

Damage to the heart, liver, pancreas, brain and bone marrow start off reversible, but may become irreversible in time. Consuming the alcohol slowly and never becoming grossly intoxicated prevents some of the damage, especially to the brain, but there is no doubt that this degree of drinking is very dangerous and increases the risk of many diseases.

The sooner he stops, the better. I would recommend stopping entirely.

Dear Dr. Roach: I’ve had a skin problem with my hands and feet for the past five years. My doctor did not know what it was. After doing some searching online, I believe I have dishydrosis. Could you please explain this condition?

It doesn’t seem like much is known about it.

Should I expect it to get worse over time? — K.K. Answer: Dishydrosis — frequently called dishidrotic eczema, but

also called acute palmoplantar eczema — is a chronic inflammatory skin condition without a known cause. It causes an intensely itchy rash, usually consisting of clear, fluid-filled blisters on the hands, especially the sides of the fingers near the palm, but sometimes on the feet as well.

Although warm weather can trigger relapses, I have seen it frequently in cold, dry weather, especially in people who wash their hands often.

A dermatologist usually can recognize it without needing a biopsy, but occasionally further tests are done to make sure it isn’t something else, such as a fungal infection.

Treatment is usually with steroid cream (or better yet, steroid ointment). Flare-ups can be prevented with ointments such as Vaseline or Neutrogena Norwegian formula hand cream. These can be found at your local drugstore.

Silent treatment is a recipe for disaster Tell Me About It Carolyn Hax Dear Carolyn: I’m on Day 4 of the silent treatment from my husband of 20 years. While this doesn’t happen often and is usually short-lived (a day or less), over those years he has kept this up for days and even weeks on a few occasions, and I’m seeing signs that this will be another long haul.

I am exhausted with the walking-on-e g gshells routine.

Complicating things is our 14-year-old daughter, who is certainly old enough to see what’s going on. She is rapidly losing respect for him, and for me, too, for putting up with him.

While counseling is probably the answer once he’s speaking to me again, how the heck do I get him to that point?

Right now I’m trying to give him space to deal with his anger and disappointment, which is aimed at both me and our daughter this time. Any other potential avenues you can recommend? — Freeze You are running out of chances to

show this 14-year-old how important it is to advocate for yourself, and to seek help when something is

beyond your ability to solve. An appointment with a skilled and reputable therapist is the answer

now, without him, to guide you through both this current silent stage and those that follow.

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.
