Incumbents ousted in city races Taylor, Willis earn school board seats

Margins slim in LaHarpe elections

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

Tuesday was a good day to be a challenger for public office in Iola.

Several newcomers to the political realm won office in a number of city and school elections, including two Aaron Franklin challengers who beat out incumbents for the Iola City Council.

In Iola’s Ward 3, Austin Sigg defeated CouncilAustin Sigg man Eugene Myrick, 103 votes to 86 (54 percent to 46 percent), while challenger Aaron Franklin dispatched incumbent Steven French, 140 votes to 92 (60 percent to 40 percent).

Taylor was elected to a seat on the USD 257 Board of Education. REGISTER/RICHARD LUKEN is done,” Sigg said this morning by telephone. “I’m ready to get started, ready to help.”

Mayor Joel Wicoff and councilmen Jon Wells (Ward 1) and Bob Shaughnessy (Ward 2) all were unopposed.

A PAIR of contested races also were decided for the USD 257 Board of Education.

Iolan Dan Willis defeated Virginia Macha for the board’s at-large seat. Willis received 672 votes to Macha’s 605 (53

percent to 46 percent).

LAHARPE — The adage “every vote counts” proved itself once again Tuesday.

A single vote (so far) is deciding who will be seated on the LaHarpe Council.

Former City Councilman David Lee won one of the seats with 53 votes, while newcomer Danny Ware Jr. received 43 votes. Incumbent Savannah Flory stands at 42 votes.

The one-vote margin may change Monday morning when the vote is canvassed, and four provisional ballots are considered. A provisional ballot is used to record a vote when there are quesSee LAHARPE | Page A4

This is the time of year that I begin to see new puppies and kittens in the clinic. It makes my job so much fun! It is also when I give my daily speech about spaying and neutering.

Female cats are seasonal for the most part and begin to cycle as the days get longer. She will begin to cycle at the age of 6 months and can stay “in heat” for weeks on end, until she breeds. This allows a much longer opportunity for a female to get pregnant by a tom cat. She can even cycle again while nursing a litter, allowing for multiple litters in 1 year.

Dogs, however, do not cycle this way. The average dog will cycle every 6 months, with bleeding and vulvar swelling. What you may not know is that the “in heat” stage can last 2-4 weeks. Depending on the breed of dog, she can start cycling at 6 months of age. Many people believe that, because the dog is not bleeding, she is not “in heat” and therefore cannot get pregnant. Actually, during the bleeding phase is when she is generally not receptive to the male. The vulva will swell, and when she is not having a bloody discharge, for about 2 weeks, the female can be mated. There is no “mismate” shot or “morning after pill” that we recommend if she does get bred.

A dog or cat can be spayed while in heat or pregnant but there is more of a surgical risk due to blood vessel engorgement. We spay and neuter as young as 4 months of age before the risk of a heat cycle or breeding interest. The benefits of spaying before her first heat cycle include less chance of hemorrhage during surgery, the cost is less due to smaller size of dog, there is a faster recovery time after surgery and no unwanted puppies or kittens.

Call the office if you have any questions regarding spaying and neutering.

Colony Fire Department history

Recently the history of the Colony Fire Department was discussed.

A resident recalled that in the 1930s, a Model A fire truck was used.

When I and Morris moved to Colony in 1957, a fire truck sat at the south end in a rather dilapidated fire shed and Beecher Heinlien was the firefighter. He also served as city superintendent.

In 1983 the new city hall building was finished and files, books, and other belongings were moved into the new building.

Shortly therafter, another fire barn was built south of City Hall.

A local ladies club donated land to the city, paving the way for construction of the Anderson County Fire Department building on Pine street, using Community Development Block Grant funding. Labor was provided by firefighters and other volunteers.

At some point the city firefighters joined forces with Anderson County volunteers, although researchers are still on the lookout for additional information.

Anybody with memories of the department’s history — particularly with information about the Anderson County Fire Department — can call 852-3379 or write us at 702 S. Pine St., Colony.

We would like the history to be as complete as

USE YOUR SENSES TO STAY SAFE. Natural gas is a safe, clean and reliable energy source for your home. Kansas Gas Service reminds you to schedule regular appliance maintenance, follow manufacturer instructions and use the tips below to help keep you and your family safe.

SOUND

If you hear a hissing sound around your natural gas appliances or meter, this could be an indication of a natural gas leak.

SIGHT

If you see blowing dirt, persistent bubbling in standing water or unexplained discoloration of vegetation, these may be signs of a natural gas leak.

If you see yellow instead of blue flames from your natural gas appliance burners, have them serviced by a licensed professional. A yellow flame is a warning sign natural gas isn’t burning efficiently, which can increase the potential for carbon monoxide poisoning.

SMELL

If you smell an odor like sulfur or rotten eggs in or around your home, this may be the warning sign of a natural gas leak.

If you suspect a natural gas leak, leave your home immediately and use a telephone away from the area to call Kansas Gas Service at 1-888-482-4950 or dial 911. Do not use any electrical devices, such as a light switch or wireless phone, in the area.

If you feel unexplained headaches, dizziness, excessive perspiration, fatigue or nausea, check your home’s carbon monoxide levels. Improper combustion in your furnace or water heater can cause increased levels of carbon monoxide, which can result in serious injury or death.

If you need to dig, know what’s below. Always call 811 at least two days before you dig, excavate, plant trees or set fence posts.

To report a natural gas leak: ......................................... 1-888-482-4950 Call before you dig: .......................................................... 811 For more information: ..................................................... 1-800-794-4780

Kansas Gas Service is committed to constructing and maintaining a natural gas pipeline delivery system that complies with applicable state and federal guidelines, industry standards and safety regulations. We apply approved pipeline integrity-management techniques to monitor system performance and ensure system reliability. Your knowledge and understanding of underground pipeline facilities, damage prevention and emergency notification are important elements in ensuring pipeline integrity and enhancing system performance. Our goal is to safely deliver clean and reliable natural gas throughout the communities we serve.

For this fisherman, it’s quantity over quality (TNS) — Ned Kehde isn’t the kind of fisherman who is willing to sling an over-sized bass lure all day, hoping to catch three or four keepers.

He is fishing for bites.

Lots of bites.

In his world, a 6-inch bass is equal to a 6-pound bass. They’re both one more punch on his clicker that he uses to count his catch.

“For me, bass fishing is a numbers game,” said Kehde, 74, as he cast a finesse bait to a rocky bank on a private lake in the Kansas City area. “I would get bored looking for just a few bites a day.

“I can’t remember the last time I used a baitcaster. I use a spinning rod and finesse baits every time I’m out.”

To many, Kehde is the king of finesse. Since he started extolling the virtues of using small plastic baits on small, bright-colored mushroom jig heads, he has converted hundreds of fishermen to finesse fishing.

Kehde writes a blog for In-Fisherman magazine’s website, and encourages other fishermen to exchange results of their finesse methods with him via email. He then forwards those accounts to 177 fishermen on his list.

Many do well ... but few can compare with the master.

Several years ago, he established the “101 Bass Club.” Membership requirements are simple. You and a fishing partner catch and release 101 bass in four hours and you’re in.

Twenty-five bass an hour? You’re joking,

Ned Kehde displays two of the bass he caught on finesse baits during a recent trip on a private lake in the Kansas City suburbs. He and a partner teamed up to catch and release 75 bass that day.

Brent Frazee/Kansas City Star

right?

No, Kehde is dead serious.

He and others in his network have accomplished the task several times in recent years.

He looks back on Feb. 9, 2012, as his benchmark moment. Fishing with his cousin, Rick Hebenstreit of Shawnee, the two fishermen teamed to catch 120 bass in four hours.

“I imagine most fishermen don’t believe us,” said Kehde, who lives in Lawrence. “But it happens.”

Kehde’s clicker was getting plenty of use on a recent blustery morning. Fishing the same lake where he and I teamed to catch 101 bass almost to the day a year ago, he again found the bass to be active.

He used a familiar setup: a Shakespeare Synergy spinning rod and an old Garcia Cardinal Four spinning reel — bargain-basement stuff.

His reel was spooled with 6-pound test braided line and a 6-pound test fluorocarbon leader. Attached to that

light line was a red onesixteenth-ounce Gopher mushroom jig head and a Z-Man Finesse ShadZ baitfish imitation.

It didn’t look too impressive ... to many fishermen anyway. To the fish, it must have looked extremely appetizing.

As we worked a rocky bank with deep water nearby, Kehde began crawling his bait along the bottom and felt some weight. He immediately set the hook, and a bass drew the line tight. The fish shot to the surface and jumped, but it wasn’t long before it was in the boat.

Game on. For the next several hours, Kehde and I caught a combination of bass and trout at an impressive rate. By the time we were done, we had caught and released 103 fish — 75 bass, 25 trout, and a walleye, a crappie and a bluegill.

Score another impressive victory for finesse baits.

Kehde uses a wide range of small plastic baits in the course of a week’s time — Z-Man baits such as ZinkerZs that he cuts in half and uses on a light jig head, Hula Sticks, Finesse ShadZs, Finesse WormZs, and GrubZs, Gene Larew Company’s Baby Hoodaddies and Strike King’s Bitsy Tubes. His methods have become so well-known that the term “Ned Rig” has become a staple at many area waters.

He uses several types of retrieves, depending on the mood of the fish. When the water is warm and the bass are active, he said, the lure seldom touches the bottom. He retrieves his offering with a shakeand-glide motion. He calls it “no-feel” fishing because he seldom feels the bait on the end of his line ... until the fish strikes.

shot, fired after a brief pause.

Scott’s parents appeared separately on TV shows this morning, a day after the officer was charged.

Walter Scott Sr. told the NBC “Today Show” that his son may have run because he owed child support and didn’t want to go back to jail.

Scott Sr. said that in the video, the officer “looked like he was trying to kill a deer running through the woods.”

Judy Scott called the video “the most horrible thing I’ve ever seen.”

North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey announced the charge at a news conference Tuesday. Summy said Slager

had made “a bad decision.” Authorities said Scott was shot after the officer had already hit the man with a stun gun after a traffic stop Saturday that began over a faulty brake light.

“When you’re wrong, you’re wrong,” Summey told reporters. “When you make a bad decision, I don’t care if you’re behind the shield or a citizen on the street, you have to live with that decision.”

Slager, who has been with the North Charleston police for five years, was denied bond at a first appearance hearing Tuesday. He was not accompanied by a lawyer.

If convicted, he could face 30 years to life in prison.

those that involve white officers and unarmed black suspects. A grand jury declined to indict Ferguson, Missouri, officer Darren Wilson in the fatal shooting of Brown last August, leading to nationwide protests.

A local Black Lives Matter group, formed after Brown’s death, planned a demonstration this morning at North

abandoned hospital, will remain in place and continue to provide a venue for visiting physicians as well as the site for hospice and home health offices.

“It’s still full and will continue until we get a new one (medical arts center)” said Weber, hopefully out by the new hospital on North Kentucky Street.

However, “I don’t think that’s going to happen anytime soon,” with no investors having been identified and hospitals’ income, here and elsewhere, adversely affected by government cuts, including Kansas’ refusal to accept substantial Medicaid assistance

from the federal government.

Were Kansas recipient of the federal guaranteed dollars — 100 percent next year and 90 percent after that — ACRH would have noticeable benefit, Administrator Ron Baker allowed at a recent commission meeting.

Weber said he expected results of tests for hazardous materials of the old hospital to be completed soon enough to seek bids for the structure’s razing in early June.

“Several companies have indicated an interest” in demolishing the old hospital, he added.

In addition, County Clerk Sherrie Riebel said another ballot cast during Tuesday’s election did not properly make it through the county’s voting machine, so it will be hand counted Monday morning when the election is canvassed. Riebel was uncertain from where the ballot originated.

The footage was also released to news media outlets.

The video shows an interaction between Scott and the officer, with the two briefly touching near their hands before the shooting.

It shows Scott falling after the shots and then the officer slowly walking toward Scott and ordering the man to put his hands behind his back. When Scott doesn’t move, Slager pulls his arms back and cuffs his hands. Then he walks briskly back to where he fired the shots, picks up an object, and returns the 30 feet or so back to Scott before dropping the object by Scott’s feet, the video shows.

Slager’s then-attorney David Aylor had released a statement Monday saying the officer felt threatened and that Scott was trying to grab Slager’s stun gun. Aylor dropped Slager as a client after the video surfaced.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Big business pressures governors to backtrack on religious rulings Lawmakers in Indiana and Arkansas are backpedaling on recent legislation that some perceive as discriminatory against gays and lesbians.

Threats by sizable businesses canceling contracts have the lawmakers fearful they may have gone overboard.

So it’s money, not moral outrage, that’s getting legislators back to the table.

In Arkansas, Gov. Asa Hutchinson has asked for changes to a recently constructed religious freedom law after Walmart, the state’s largest employer, recommended the governor veto the law in its current form. Walmart says the law’s intent would put off potential employees.

Indiana’s Gov. Mike Pence also has been pressured by big business to nix its Religious Freedom Restoration Act. NASCAR, the NCAA, Starbucks, Apple, the NBA and Angie’s List are just a few of the businesses who have come out against the legislation.

Both governors say the new laws serve as protection against being forced to provide a service to someone whose lifestyles go against their religion.

Others say this is an “out” to discrimination.

University educators in Indiana are concerned about the image the law will project to prospective students and faculty.

Such a law goes counter to the essence of education: the free exchange of ideas in a climate of inclusiveness.

On the business front, Starbucks, for instance,

says it needs to be assured Indiana doesn’t pull in the welcome mat when it comes to the LGBT community.

Host of now seven NCAA Men’s Final Four basketball tournaments, Indianapolis representatives are worried Monday’s might be their last if such a law were enacted.

The news has other venues salivating at the chance to host the lucrative event.

Angie’s List, the job search engine, said plans to expand its Indianapolis site are “on hold,” unless the legislation is reworked.

In Connecticut, all state travel to Indiana and any other states that enact such laws was blocked as a sign of protest.

TO BEGIN, the religious freedom laws seem unnecessary at best, and punitive at worst.

Supporters of the law see this as an antidote to what they fear may become the law of the land if the U.S. Supreme Court approves same-sex marriage in a decision expected this summer.

At least, they say, they’ll be able use the cloak of religion to “protect” themselves.

IN ANOTHER generation this issue will be fodder for a good laugh.

Increasingly, younger generations turn a blind eye to one’s sexual preferences as potential stumbling blocks.

For now, let’s remember how we are all more alike than different and use that as our focus to be better neighbors.

— Susan Lynn

Today in history: On April 8, 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Emergency Relief Appropriations Act, which provided money for programs such as the Works Progress Administration.

Rural region showing a rebound For many years concern has been that rural Kansas was drying up as population fled because of a lack of opportunities. That threat remains today, but there are exceptions.

One only needs to look at what’s going on in nearby McPherson and the southwest Kansas community of Hugoton to see where growth, some of it unprecedented, is occurring. The key for both has been industrial growth, which in turn breeds additional business. Both communities were featured in recent stories in The News.

In McPherson, the National Cooperative Refinery Association oil refinery is undergoing a $555 million expansion, which has brought in a throng of temporary workers. A year ago, Hospira, a pharmaceutical company, announced it would invest $120 million in its facilities, which meant the addition of 150 new jobs. The Prairieland John Deere facility and Viega, a plumbing and piping manufacturer, also are expanding.

For Hugoton, it’s the Bioenergy Biomass of Kansas plant, the first of its kind to turn agricultural plant waste into 25 million gallons of cellulosic ethanol fuel, along with the production of 21 megawatts of electricity. That’s done by using 350,000 bales of biomass, the crop residue produced by 200 area farmers that other-

wise would be of little or no value. Now it means $17 million in additional farm revenue at $15 a ton. Abengoa, an international company headquartered in Madrid, Spain, received a $132.4 million loan guarantee and a $97 million grant to help finance construction of the plant. When it is fully operational, it will employ 79 people.

development is being built there, too. In Hugoton, a new motel is also under construction with 56 rooms. A second grocery store is being built, as are a Dollar General store and pharmacy.

While this growth has meant a huge influx of people — McPherson officials say 1,000 workers commute to that city every day — it also has

We’re excited about the growing industry, it’s wonderful, but sometimes there are side effects. With the influx of workers, it’s just made it worse.

— Chris Goodson, McPherson Housing Coalition

Also in Hugoton is the Kansas Dairy Ingredients facility that opened in 2013. It collects milk from as far south as New Mexico, processes it and then ships it to Minnesota, Illinois and Missouri to customers who make cheese. The plant operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year and employs 40 full-time employees.

These industries have brought about increases in other businesses. In McPherson, two hotels are under construction that will increase the number of rooms available by 180. A $6 million 45-unit low-income housing

shown the dire need for new housing in both communities. New workers coming into town simply have nowhere to stay.

“Housing just can’t keep up,” said Chris Goodson, director of the McPherson Housing Coalition. “We’re excited about the growing industry, it’s wonderful, but sometimes there are side effects.

With the influx of workers, it’s just made it worse.”

Answering the housing question isn’t easy, but it’s a problem many communities throughout Kansas would love to have.

Those who deny climate change pulling back in retreat WASHINGTON — There is no denying it: Climate-change deniers are in retreat.

What began as a subtle shift away from the claim that manmade global warming is not a threat to the planet has lately turned into a stampede. The latest attempt to deny denial comes from the conservative American Legislative Exchange Council, a powerful group that pushes for states to pass laws that are often drafted by industry. As my Washington Post colleagues Tom Hamburger, Joby Warrick and Chris Mooney report, ALEC is not only insisting that it doesn’t deny climate change — it’s threatening to sue those who suggest otherwise.

The group, which suffered the highly visible defection of Google because of its globalwarming stance and an exodus of other top corporate members, sent letters to Common Cause and the League of Conservation Voters instructing them to “remove all false or misleading material” alleging ALEC questions globalwarming theory.

The problem for ALEC is that as recently as 2013, it was still reaffirming “model legislation” calling on states to consider “legitimate and scientifically defensible alterna-

Dana Milbank Washington Post Writers Group tive hypotheses” to the “mainstream scientific positions” on climate. The proposed legislation stated that there is “a great deal of scientific uncertainty” about the matter and suggested that states treat possible beneficial effects of carbon “in an evenhanded manner.”

The turnabout at ALEC follows an about-face at the Heartland Institute, a libertarian outfit that embraces a description of it as “the world’s most prominent think tank promoting skepticism about man-made climate change.”

But on Christmas Eve, Justin Haskins, a blogger and editor at Heartland, penned an article for the conservative journal Human Events declaring: “The real debate is not whether man is, in some way, contributing to climate change; it’s true that the science is settled on that point in favor of the alarmists.”

Haskins called it “a rather

extreme position to say that we ought to allow dangerous pollutants to destroy the only planet we know of that can completely sustain human life,” and he suggested work on “technologies that can reduce CO2 emissions without destroying whole economies.”

To be sure, this is a tactical retreat, and you shouldn’t expect conservative groups to start lining up in favor of a carbon tax. Rather, they’re resorting to more defensible arguments that don’t make them sound like flat-earthers.

My Post colleagues quoted energy lobbyist Scott Segal saying that “the science issue just isn’t as salient as it once was.”

Instead, Segal talks about the cost and viability of proposed regulations.

It’s likely no coincidence that the shift is occurring as the Obama administration approaches a June target to finalize rules on power-plant emissions. Those who oppose regulation are wise to abandon a position that holds little public appeal; a healthy majority of Americans accept that global warming is real, and a New York Times poll earlier this year found that even half of Republicans support government action to address it.

Those who oppose regulation are wise to abandon a position that holds little public appeal; a healthy majority of Americans accept that global warming is real ...

More and more conservative officeholders are embracing the “I am not a scientist” agnosticism on climate change rather than skepticism. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Speaker John Boehner and potential presidential candidates Bobby Jindal and Marco Rubio have adopted this response, and Rubio has joined Mitt Romney and Chuck Grassley in embracing the less assailable position that U.S. efforts to restrict carbon are pointless without similar efforts across the globe.

Certainly, figures such as Senate Environment Committee Chairman Jim Inhofe (who calls man-made warming a “hoax”) and presidential candidate Ted Cruz (who fancies himself a modern-day Galileo opposing the “global-warming alarmists”) are not about to change. But as corporations abandon the untenable posi-

tion of denial, ideologues will be forced to do the same.

As my Post colleagues noted, Southern Co., an operator of coal-fired power plants, decided to drop funding for a Smithsonian scientist who challenged climate-change theory but failed to disclose that his work was funded by fossil-fuel interests. ALEC’s declining skepticism also comes as even oil companies such as Occidental Petroleum and BP quit the group.

At ALEC’s December meeting, a climate-change contrarian got applause for declaring in his presentation that “carbon dioxide is not a pollutant.

It is a benefit. It is the very elixir of life.”

For politicians and climatedenial groups, the elixir of life is money. Now that corporations are becoming reluctant to bankroll crazy theories, the surrender of climate-change deniers will follow.

A Delaware-based law professor said U.S. Supreme Court precedents over the past 15 years suggest the Kansas law wouldn’t survive a challenge but added that the justices may revise past stances.

A photo from Tuesday’s [signing] ceremony tweeted by the governor’s office showed Browback flanked by anti-abortion leaders and two large photos of fetuses.

Kansas clinics with abortion services, Trust Women and Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri, said they’re considering challenging the new law in court.

“We will become a bellwether for future introductions of this bill in the states,” said Laura McQuade, president and CEO of the Planned Parenthood chapter.

Anti-abortion groups are confident the new law will withstand a legal challenge, based on a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 2007 in which it upheld a federal ban on a late-term procedure described by abortion opponents as “partial-birth abortion.”

But in that ruling, the court’s 5-4 majority rejected an argument that the federal law would

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Voters have approved an initiative to reduce the penalties for possession of small amounts of marijuana for first-time offenders.

Unofficial returns from Tuesday’s election showed 54 percent of voters approved the initiative. It will make first-time possession a criminal infraction with a $50 fine. The violations would not have to be disclosed on most job and college scholarship applications.

Under state law, firsttime possession is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $2,500 and a year in jail.

Attorney General Derek Schmidt has said that the initiative is unlawful, primarily because it conflicts with state law.

stability, an approaching front and the jet stream will all contribute to steadily worsening weather.

Areas that don’t see strong storms Thursday could see heavy rain instead.

The Storm Prediction Center said today’s storms in an area from Wichita to Joplin, Mo., and on either side of the Kansas-Oklahoma border, could be significant — defined as having 2-inch hail, 75-mph winds and tornadoes rated at EF2 or higher.

The week was already off to a blustery start. Emergency officials said a tornado touched down briefly Tuesday night in southeastern Kansas, and hail and high winds caused problems from St. Louis to southwestern Indiana.

fessor John Culhane.

“If it was so obvious that it wouldn’t run afoul of the court, you would have seen a law like this sooner,” he said.

Brownback signed the bill in a private ceremony at his official residence; his office said he would re-enact it at multiple public events later this month. A photo from Tuesday’s ceremony tweeted by the governor’s office showed Brownback flanked by anti-abortion leaders and two large photos of fetuses.

Abortion rights supporters said the procedure is often the safest for women seeking to terminate pregnancies during the second trimester. It accounted for about 9 percent of abortions last year in Kansas, where most pregnancies are terminated in the first trimester and the state already bans most abortions at or after the 22nd week.

Brownback spokeswoman Eileen Hawley called it “a horrific procedure.” But Julie Burkhart, founder and CEO of Trust Women, said in a statement that the new law is “dangerous” and “dictates to qualified physicians how they can practice medicine and treat their patients.”

NORMAN, Okla.

(AP) — A forecaster has warned that the ingredients necessary to “blow up some big storms” would fall into place today and Thursday and cautioned millions of residents in the middle of the country to be aware of worsening weather.

Large hail, damaging winds and a number of tornadoes were possible today in the Southern Plains.

“Thursday will be the bigger day, but there’s still potential (today) for significant storms in northeastern Oklahoma, eastern Kansas and perhaps into Missouri,” said Greg Carbin, of the Storm Prediction Center in Norman. “We’re not exactly sure how things will evolve in that corridor.”

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas became the first state Tuesday to ban a common secondtrimester abortion procedure that critics describe as dismembering a fetus.

Republican Gov. Sam Brownback, a strong abortion opponent, signed a bill imposing the ban, and the new law takes effect July 1. He and the National Right to Life Committee, which drafted the measure, said they hope Kansas’ example spurs other states to enact such laws. Already, the measure also has been introduced in Missouri, Oklahoma and South Carolina.

“This law has the power to transform the landscape of abortion policy in the United States,” committee president Carol Tobias said in a statement.

Mustangs outpace Buffalos

The weather gods favored Iola High’s Mustangs Tuesday night against Prairie View.

After winning game one 6-1, Iola was ahead 10-8 in the top of the sixth inning when the umpire stopped the game for lightning. During the 30-minute wait required when lightening is seen, more lit up the sky. At that point the game was called and the Mustangs got the win.

“We could have started in another half an hour, but another storm could be on its way,” coach Mark Percy said.

“As far as I know, it’s a complete game. From what I understand, it made it through 4½ innings. We’ll take a win

any way we can, but we’ve got to play better than that.”

When the game was called, Prairie View had runners on first and third with two outs and were down 10-8. The Mustangs did catch a break by being ahead, but no one knows what could have happened.

The Buffalos started the game with a 4-0 lead after the top of the first inning. The Mustangs fought all the way back to tie it up.

Ethan Scheibmeir started the inning with a walk. Keanen Badders followed with a base hit. After an out, backto-back doubles from Coleson Wiggin and Ethan Sigg brought the game to within one at 4-3. Kohl Endicott followed with a walk and Brett Taylor finished the inning with an RBI-single to tie the

game.

Prairie View came right back, scoring two more runs in the second inning to take a 6-4 lead. Iola answered with three runs.

Badders reached on an error with one out. Wiggin followed by drawing a walk. Sigg was hit by a pitch during the next at bat to load the bases. A wild pitch preceded Endicott 2-RBI triple to the left field wall.

In the third inning, Prairie View tied the game at 7-7 because of an Iola error. Percy said the teams’ fielding in game two was subpar.

Iola’s bats were able to get two more runs in the bottom half of third inning. Badders reached on a single and WigSee MUSTANGS | Page B3

Fillies unable to keep up with Prairie View offensive firepower

By SPENCER MICHELSON The Iola Register

Iola High’s softball team couldn’t sustain a consistent offense Tuesday to keep up with Prairie View’s bats. The Fillies lost 14-2 and 10-2.

“It was definitely a tougher day and you’re not going to win too many ball games when you have about 18 errors,” coach Melissa Stiffler said. “It’s just the way it is. We showed that we can do it. It’s the same girls that made bad mistakes in the first game and came back and played pretty well in the second game.”

Game one didn’t start the way Iola wanted it to. Prairie View got off to a 3-0 lead after the first and found themselves ahead 10-0 heading into the bottom of the fourth.

Katie Shields started the inning off reaching on an error.

Riley Murry followed with a walk. Jaydn Sigg reached on an error that scored both runs, but she was later out on a fielder’s choice. Iola was behind 10-2.

Prairie View scored four more runs in the 14-2 win that ended after five innings.

Iola had four singles in the game. Sydney Wade, Chloe Gardner, Ashlie Shields and Murry each accounted for a hit.

Game two didn’t get any easier for Iola’s offense, but they avoided giving up a big inning to the Buffalos in the 10-2 loss.

Prairie View started with a 1-0 lead after the first, scoring

on an error. Iola started the game off with a quick score.

Ashlie Shields was hit by the pitch to reach first base.

She then stole second base.

Katie Shields reached on an error, knocking in Ashlie to tie the game.

Prairie View took a 2-1 lead in the second inning. The score was the same until the fourth inning, when Prairie View brought in four runs to take a 6-1 lead. The Buffalos had an 8-1 lead heading into the bottom of the sixth inning.

Sydney Wade started the sixth inning with a walk, she then stole second base. A fielder’s choice moved Wade over and an error during Katie Shields’ at-bat brought Wade in to score.

Prairie View answered right back with two more runs and won the game 10-2.

Sigg had Iola’s only hit in the game.

In the second game, the Buffalos didn’t get out ahead until later in the game.

“They had a girl hit a triple with the bases loaded and that’s tough. They were hitting, that’s a good hitting team,” Stiffler said. “And that catcher, she’s a stud and won’t let too many runners steal on her. We hurt ourselves though, I thought we could have hung with them a little bit better than we did, but we just got down. We let runners on and they scored. All of a sudden we just fell apart. It’s a mental game.”

Iola (1-3) travels to Anderson County on Tuesday.

Top, Ashlie Shields gets onto second base just before the tag for a steal in the first inning of game two. She came around to score in Iola’s 10-2 loss.

Bottom left, Shelby Reno uses two hands to come down with the catch in left field.

Bottom right, Emily McKarnin makes contact with the ball, but isn’t able to get the base hit.

Rand Paul’s bid for ’16:

A breakdown of the issues FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul opened his campaign for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination Tuesday with a pledge to fight for greater liberties and smaller government. A look at where he stands on some issues: IMMIGRATION

A thorny issue for Paul. He sees himself as a “different kind of Republican” and has encouraged his party to abandon its fixation on “amnesty,” saying the concept has trapped Republicans from embracing compromise.

Yet Paul has spent considerable time trying to block or undo immigration proposals offered by others. In 2013 he voted against an immigration overhaul pushed by Republican Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham. He also introduced legislation that sought to undo President Barack Obama’s executive orders to delay deportation of some immigrants in the country illegally. He likes to say Washington “can’t invite the whole world” to the United States.

FOREIGN POLICY/ NATIONAL SECURITY

Paul favors a smaller U.S. military presence overseas and opposes domestic surveillance programs, drawing from a libertarian ideology that has put him at odds with GOP donors and policymakers who see him as too soft for the world stage. He started to rein in those tendencies with the approach of his campaign. Paul cited the rise of violence in the Middle East to call for a declaration of war against the Islamic State group, arguing Congress alone has the constitutional power to declare war. And in March he proposed an increase in military spending. He drew support from some on the left as well as the right with a nearly 13-hour Senate speech centered on his opposition to U.S. policy on the use of military drones.

BUDGETS AND ENTITLEMENTS

The government is too big and needs to give money back to the taxpayer. That’s the essence of Paul’s position. He wants to lower the tax rate on overseas corporate profits that are returned to the U.S., and use such money for roads and bridges. He’d create “economic freedom zones” where individual and corporate income taxes are eliminated or drastically reduced in poor areas for 10 years.

EDUCATION

Kentucky was the first state in the country to adopt the Common Core standards for English and math in 2010, the year Paul was first elected to the Senate. It’s a good thing state leaders did

not ask Paul about it, because the Kentucky senator has since come out strongly against the standards as they’ve become a flashpoint in national politics. Paul says the standards represent a chipping away of local control of education, despite the fact each state must vote to adopt them. He sees Common Core as a “hodgepodge of education theories” and “bureaucratic group think” that would collect massive amounts of data on school children for the government’s “social indoctrination.”

SOCIAL ISSUES

He opposes a federal ban on gay marriage, arguing states should decide for themselves, and says the Republican Party has room for people on both sides of the issue. Paul was criticized recently for a 2013 interview that resurfaced online in which he said he has never used the term “gay rights” because he doesn’t believe “in rights based on your behavior.” He also told pastors of a “moral crisis that allows people to think that there would be some other form of marriage.”

He’s backed legislation that sought to ban abortion, yet upset some social conservatives by saying U.S. public opinion is too divided to change federal abortion laws.

He’s urged GOP leaders to focus less on gay marriage and abortion as a way to help the party grow.

CLIMATE CHANGE

Kentucky is the nation’s third-largest coal producer, prompting most Kentucky politicians essentially to swear a loyalty oath to the coal industry.

On one hand, Paul has denounced the government’s new emission regulations as part of President Barack Obama’s “war on coal.”

On the other hand, Paul says he supports some coal regulations.

During the debate on whether to authorize construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, Paul was one of 15 Republicans who voted for a measure that said humans contribute to the planet’s global warming problems.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE

This is an issue that largely sets Paul apart from the rest of the Republican field. He wants to restore voting rights to nonviolent convicted felons, eliminate mandatory minimum sentences, end the federal sentencing disparities between crack and powder cocaine and make it easier for people to expunge their criminal records. He has partnered with Democrats on most of those issues, which might broaden his appeal nationally should he win the GOP nomination.

Yates Center golf takes seventh

Iola High School and Prairie View administrators and coaches discuss whether to go on with game two of the doubleheader on Tuesday night.

REGISTER/SPENCER MICHELSON

BURLINGTON — Yates Center’s golf team competed at the Burlington Invitational on Tuesday.

The team played nine holes in Burlington — at Rock Creek Country Club — and nine holes in New Strawn at Prairie Wind.

“The two courses are very different, with the New Strawn course being very

open and long, while Rock Creek is only a par 34 course so it is significantly shorter, but shot placement is much more critical,” coach Kevin Barnes said. “Overall, the boys played better than they did yesterday, especially our putting, so I am pleased with that. Since everyone shot lower scores, our team total

was down, too, and I think as we get a little further along in the season we should get that quite a bit lower as well.”

Remi Wagner shot a 91 for 20th place. Zach Kress shot a 101 for 27th place. Jon Barnes took 33rd with a 105.

Cheyenne Gill shot a 119 for 39th. The team finished in seventh with a 416.

Mustangs: Lightning win Continued from B1

gin hit him in on his second double of the night. Wiggin eventually scored on a fielder’s choice. Iola led 9-7 after the third.

In the fourth inning, neither team plated a run across home for the first time in the game.

Scheibmeir scored in the fifth inning on an RBI from Badders, who hit into a fielder’s choice. Iola led 10-7 heading into the sixth inning when the game was eventually called.

Prairie View scored a run in the top half of the inning and had two men on with two outs.

Wiggin, who came in to relieve Drew Faulhaber in the fourth inning, only gave up the one run in the top of the sixth.

He helped the team settle down in the field.

“A game like that is hard to get in the flow because we just weren’t playing well, period.

Part of that goes to pitching and we weren’t making plays we should be making,” Percy said.

“We were flat in the field.

We were popping out balls that we should be squaring up and getting hits. The good thing was we kept coming back, but it just wasn’t a very pretty game. Hopefully, we play better than that because I wasn’t really pleased with it.”

In game one, Iola earned the 6-1 win.

Scheibmeir pitched another gem. He went the distance, pitching all seven innings, gave up one run (in the seventh inning), had seven strikeouts, gave up two hits and walked three.

“It took us a little bit to get moving. We had

some really good innings, we just couldn’t get that big hit,” Percy said. “We kept putting them back to back to back which is something we wanted to see.

We were pleased with that.”

Iola took the lead in the third inning. Ben Cooper started it off with a single. Scheibmeir beat out a swinging bunt and got to first base for the infield single. Badders hit in Cooper on a fielder’s choice.

A three-run sixth inning put the game out of reach.

Scheibmeir had a sacrifice fly with the bases loaded which scored Brett Taylor. Faulhaber and Sigg each hit RBIsingles to finish out the inning.

The Mustangs (4-0) play at Anderson County on Tuesday.

Humboldt softball sweeps BURLINGTON — Humboldt High’s softball team earned two more wins on Tuesday night.

The team won 12-0 and 9-3 against Burlington.

Fort Scott took a 3-2 lead into the bottom of the sixth. Again, Womack played the hero and hit another homer. The

game was tied 3-3 heading into the seventh, where Fort Scott scored two more runs to get the win.

Baileigh Rager pitched all seven innings, giving up five runs (two earned), three walks, five hits and striking out five.

In game two, Allen lost in the seventh inning 5-4.

Woman doesn’t trust fiance to tell her the truth Tell Me About It

Dear Carolyn:

I have been dating a guy for five years, we live together and plan to get married.

I just found out from a former girlfriend of his that on their first date they went to a really expensive restaurant (one I have expressed an interest in but that he always said cost too much). On our first date we went to a mediocre but OK restaurant.

For some reason, I feel like crap ever since I found this out, like he thought she was better and really wanted to impress her. If I knew this after our first date, I would not have seen him again. I mean, I am just as good as any other girl.

How can I get over this? I feel like I am putting my self-worth on this fact and hate myself for it. You are probably thinking I should just ask him, but I feel he will just give me some BS answer to make me feel bet-

Carolyn Hax ter. For what it’s worth, he and this girl did not last very long.

Second-Class Citizen?

Seems we all have some unpacking to do.

You would have dumped him after the first date, not bothering to find out why he chose a different restaurant?

You automatically assume it’s a commentary on your worth — but maybe it’s a commentary on this restaurant.

Or on expensive restaurants in general.

Or, he was in better financial shape back then, or dumber about how he spent his money.

Or, OK, he didn’t take you seriously when scheduling that first date — but changed his mind by the time the appetiz-

ers landed.

Why aren’t these or a dozen other possibilities up for consideration?

You’ve been with this person for five years and you haven’t gathered the kind of crucial information — on him, on your relationship, on his feelings about you and the relationship — that would either explain this new bit of information or overwhelm it into irrelevance.

And why do you need a fancy restaurant to feel good about yourself ?

Meanwhile: You’re living with and planning to marry someone you don’t trust to tell you the truth, and instead expect him to lie to you out of expediency?

Sorry, forehead, there’s some keyboard headed your way. surfdhg ldug;.kux uolut5rry6y6 Please learn how to talk to your boyfriend before you marry him.

The first step is to tell

the truth. The second step is not to freak out on a person when he or she tells you a truth you don’t want to hear. Just listen and give yourself time to figure out what it means.

It sounds as if both of you are tailoring what you say to what you predict the other person’s response will be — and that’s not only an intimacy killer, it’s also a way to postpone actually getting to know each other until you’re so invested in your relationship that correcting the record, even in a small way, has a huge impact on both of you.

So say what you have to say, and let the other person respond, then see what you have.

If you’re not sure where to start toward communicating honestly, then consider some form of couples counseling — premarital or otherwise. Actually, consider it regardless, please.

Medicine causes loss of taste for patient Dear

Dr.

Dr. Keith Roach

Roach:

Last year I was treated for gout and was prescribed allopurinol (100 mg) once a day. Approximately five to six months after I started taking it, I became lethargic and was not feeling myself (I am a very young 77 years old) and suddenly

To Your Good Health lost my sense of taste. I was taken off the medicine and still have little taste sensation other

than citrus fruits, apples and spices. I was told that this could last for months, years or forever.

Do you have any suggestions for me? I am eating as before, hoping that I will recover my taste. — N.K. Answer: I certainly found that allopurinol

can cause loss of taste sensation, but the Food and Drug Administration case reports don’t say how long it can last.

Unfortunately, I can’t find any reliable way (or even plausible way) to increase the likelihood of getting your taste sensation back.

UConn holds off Notre Dame to cap three-peat

By DOUG FEINBERG The Associated Press

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Geno Auriemma and his UConn Huskies are a perfect 10.

The Hall of Fame coach joined some elite company in UCLA’s John Wooden after tying the Wizard of Westwood with his 10th NCAA Tournament title.

“Obviously it’s a very significant number because that’s the number that’s been out there and people want to talk about it. I’ll be the first to say I’m not John Wooden and I got a bunch of friends who’d tell you I’m right, I’m not,” Auriemma said. “As I said the other day I just think what we’ve done here in the last 20 years is pretty remarkable in its own right.

“I’ll let the people who write the history decide where I fit in.”

Kaleena MosquedaLewis and Moriah Jefferson each scored 15 points Tuesday night to lead the Huskies to a 63-53 victory over Notre Dame. It was UConn’s third straight title; Auriemma and the Huskies have won all 10 of their trips to the national championship game. As has become a tradition, his team carried Au-

Hernandez murder trial goes to jury FALL RIVER, Mass.

(AP) — The fate of former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez is now in the hands of a jury, which has begun its first full day of deliberations in his murder trial.

Hernandez is charged with the June 2013 shooting death of Odin Lloyd, who was dating his fiancee’s sister.

Twelve jurors returned to deliberate today after getting the case Tuesday afternoon.

Hernandez was brought into court for

the brief hearing.

His lawyer acknowledged for the first time Tuesday that Hernandez was there when Lloyd was killed. But he described him as a 23-year-old kid who did not know what to do.

He pinned the killing on two of Hernandez’s friends.

Prosecutors say Hernandez planned the crime, drove Lloyd to a secluded area, killed him, and then tried to cover it up.

RECYCLE!

her the first woman ever to achieve that. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was the only men’s player to do it when he played for Wooden’s Bruins.

“There just hasn’t been a player like Stewie in the women’s game in a long, long time,” Auriemma said. “She might be two inches taller than Cheryl Miller and Cheryl Miller was one of best players I saw. ... Stewie’s the kind of player that women’s basketball probably hasn’t seen.”

She stated when she came to UConn that her goal was to win four championships.

She’s now one title away from being the first to win four straight. Stewart has been a huge reason why the Huskies have won their three consecutive titles. She broke down on the podium with tears streaming down her face.

“I think it’s really surreal and I haven’t had

a chance to even think about that,” said Stewart wearing the championship net around her neck. “I’ve won three national championships, but said I wanted to win four, you can’t win four without winning three first.”

Auriemma took Stewart out with about 30 seconds to play and gave her a big hug. The 6-foot4 star is the latest in a long line of outstanding UConn players that Auriemma has coached, including Rebecca Lobo, Diana Taurasi, Sue Bird and Maya Moore.

Those players have helped Auriemma win his 10 championships over 20 years. Wooden won his 10 during a 12year span.

“I just know that in our sport, from 1995 to today, what we’ve done against our peers is as good if not better than anybody else has done in their sport against their peers,” Auriemma said.

“I don’t care whether it’s harder in that sport.”

Auriemma won his title one night after fellow USA Basketball Olympic coach Mike Krzyzewski won his fifth men’s championship at Duke.

“Our Dad was very proud of Geno and Mike and how throughout their years as collegiate head basketball coaches they have diligently led their student-athletes to be successful on the court, in the classroom and in their lives,” Wooden’s children Nan and Jim Wooden said in a statement.

Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw had her team back in the championship game for the fourth time in five seasons. The Irish have come up short each time, including the last two against UConn. Notre Dame’s lone title came in 2001.

“It was a great accomplishment to get here,”

McGraw said. “Was disappointing we weren’t able to play our game.”

The Irish (36-3) were able to slow the Huskies in the early going and UConn only led 31-23 at the half.

After the Irish cut it to five to start the second half, UConn scored seven straight to open up a double-digit advantage.

The Irish wouldn’t go away, thanks to Brianna Turner, who missed the earlier meeting which the Huskies won by 18 points.

She had eight straight points for the Irish in the second half, including banking in a shot from the top of the key as the shot clock was reaching zero. That got the Irish within 54-48.

After the teams traded baskets, Mosqueda-Lewis scored seven straight, including a 3-pointer, to restore the double-digit advantage with just over four minutes left and Notre Dame couldn’t recover.

“I thought the 3 that Lewis hit was critical,” McGraw said.

Turner finished with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Jewel Loyd had 12 points for the Irish, going 4 for 18 from the field. She missed all eight of her shots in the second half.

The ConnecticutNotre Dame matchup was just the second time in the history of the tournament that the same teams played in the final in consecutive years. UConn beat Tennessee in 2003 and 2004.

It was also the 55th meeting between the top two teams in the AP poll with the No. 1 team holding a 34-21 lead. UConn, which finished the season atop the poll, has been involved in the last five of them.
