REMEMBERING OUR HEROES Tuesday was a day of remembrance across southeast Kansas. It was 12 years ago that two airliners crashed into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, killing thousands, while another attack was prevented by brave passengers aboard Flight 93, which crashed near Shanksville, Pa. In Fort Scott, Gov. Sam Brownback, at right, stopped to address all those who died in the attack, as well as those who have died in the war on terror.

Disabled College cracking waiting list down on payments addressed

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas will move more quickly than it had planned to provide hundreds of disabled residents with in-home services that help them live as independently as possible, Gov. Sam Brownback announced Wednesday.

Brownback said his administration is immediately releasing $37 million that was set aside by legislators to address the waiting lists for serSee DISABLED | Page A4

By encouraging students to pay tuition in a timely manner, Allen Community College administrators believe they will be doing students a favor in the long run.

Students who have not paid their tuitions in full by two weeks after the start of the semester will be dropped from enrollment.

The deadline to pay tuition in full is officially the first day of classes. The twoweek grace period accommodates stragglers.

The deadline is new, said Cynthia Jacobson, vice president of student affairs.

Quote of the day Vol. 115, No.225

Before, the college simply tried to track down delinquent accounts with no official deadline.

As of the first day of classes, ACC President John Masterson said there were 861 students who had not paid for their semester of classes in full — he and Jacobson were shocked at the amount.

After pursuing the delinquent accounts, Jacobsen was able to secure 604 payments in full. Another 256 students were forced to dropped their classes, for lack of full payment.

ACC invests in conference tech

By STEVEN SCHWARTZ steven@iolaregister.com

Allen Community College is investing in technology to change how it educates, and board members hope local high schools will follow suit.

The board of trustees decided Tuesday evening to allow purchase of video conferencing equipment from Cytek Media Systems at $55,000 for the Iola and Burlingame campuses. “We are doing this very purposefully,� Vice President of Academic Affairs Jon Marshal told board members.

An entire classroom will be outfitted in both campuses for the equipment, which includes two 60-inch LCD screens per classroom, along with

microphones and video equipment. One screen displays the teacher, while the other can display the computer screen the teacher is using.

Marshal said the advanced equipment provides a much more intimate experience than ITV (interactive television), which the college used prior to the switch. ITV was based more on a presentation style classroom with limited interaction, he said.

The new cameras can move to track teachers’ and students’ motions in the classroom, and are equipped with HD capabilities. Initially, the goal is to connect classrooms between the Iola and Burlingame campuses. Marshal said it will aid flexibility for teachers and students, as well as expand the amount of courses the college can offer.

Marshal said area high schools are moving away from ITV and he is expecting them to adopt similar video conferencing equipment in the future. “Our vision is to be able

“One fine doctor!�

Ron Hamilton, Independence, had his first experience with orthopedic surgery at Labette Health in 2010. Ron had a knee replaced by orthopedic surgeon Dr. William Dillon and was pleased with the results of the operation‌so pleased that when he needed shoulder replacement surgery he just wanted “to return to the same guy that did a fantastic jobâ€? on his knee.

A machinist in the Boeing tooling department for 25 years, Ron subsequently began experiencing intense shoulder pain while trying to raise the Dr. William Dillon, Or- lid on his roll-away tool box. He dismissed it, thinking it was just the muscle. As the thopedic Surgeon pain increased, however, Ron turned again to Dr. Dillon for evaluation.

Upon examination, Dr. Dillon explained that a ball of arthritis about the size of a ping-pong ball had actually pushed Ron’s left forearm up into the rotator cuff, completely destroying it. Dr. Dillon performed a ‘reverse shoulder’ procedure, placing the ball on top and the socket below. “Dr. Dillon did a fantastic job. The operation was highly successful,�

Ron said. “My pain has been minimal. My dexterity, my range of motion has both been very good.â€? “Dr. Dillon was just fantastic‌cool, calm and collected,â€? Ron said. “How many adjectives can you say about one man?â€?

Income gap between rich and poor biggest in 100 years

By CONNIE STEWART Los Angeles Times

If you feel you’re falling behind in the income race, it’s not just your imagination. The wealth gap between the top 1 percent and the bottom 99 percent in the United States is as wide as it’s been in nearly 100 years, a new study finds.

For starters, between 1993 and 2012, the real incomes of the 1 percent grew 86.1 percent, while those of the 99 percent grew 6.6 percent,

according to the study, based on Internal Revenue Service statistics examined by economists at UC Berkeley, the Paris School of Economics and Oxford University.

The top 1 percent is defined as families with incomes above $394,000 in 2012.

The Great Recession hit the top 1 percent harder than other income groups, but the wealthy recovered quicker too. From 2009 to 2012, as the U.S. economy improved, incomes of the top 1 percent

grew more than 31 percent, while the incomes of the 99

The top 1 percent incomes captured just over two-thirds of the overall economic growth of the real incomes per family over the period of 1993-2012.

— Emmanuel Saez, economist

Too soon for Fed to start tapering Cutting stimulus could set back recovery

If the Federal Reserve needed further evidence that it should prolong its efforts to stimulate the U.S. economy, today’s jobs report provides it.

In mid-June, when the Fed set out plans to take its foot off the gas pedal by “tapering” its monthly bond purchases, the economy appeared to be on an upward trajectory. Employers were adding jobs at an accelerating pace, the ranks of the long-term unemployed were thinning, and the housing market was showing signs of life.

Now the encouraging spring is giving way to yet another disappointing fall. The Labor Department says monthly growth in nonfarm payrolls averaged a mere 148,000 over the past three months — barely enough to achieve any significant reduction in the unemployment rate. The num-

ber of people who have been unemployed for more than six months ticked up again in August, renewing the threat that loss of skills and motivation will do permanent damage to the country’s productive capacity.

Meanwhile, the increase in interest rates triggered by the Fed’s tapering plans has cast doubt on the housing recovery. Mortgage applications for home purchase are down 9 percent since the end of May, according the Mortgage Bankers Association. New building permits for private housing slipped 3 percent from May to July.

In short, the risks that a smaller Fed stimulus will set back the recovery have grown.

This is particularly true in view of the impending congressional battles over the U.S. debt ceiling (which could be reached by mid-October) and federal spending (which must be extended by the end of the

fiscal year on Sept. 30) — and their potential confidence-killing effects.

What, then, of the risk that added stimulus will stoke runaway inflation or create another financial bubble? According to the Fed’s preferred measure of inflation, the core price index for personal consumption expenditures, consumer prices are rising at an annual rate of only 1.2 percent, well below the central bank’s target of 2 percent. As regards froth in the market, the Fed in June largely disabused investors of the notion that the central bank will keep propping up asset prices indefinitely.

The Fed has always clearly stated that its stimulus efforts will depend on the changing outlook for the economy. When officials meet this month to set policy, we hope they’ll recognize that the outlook calls for a delay in tapering.

percent grew 0.4 percent — less than half a percentage

point.

“This implies that the top 1 percent incomes captured just over two-thirds of the overall economic growth of real incomes per family over the period 1993-2012,” economist Emmanuel Saez of UC Berkeley writes.

The 1929 stock market crash that preceded the Great Depression, followed

by World War II, reduced an earlier national income gap for decades. But it began to grow again in the 1970s, and has widened since.

Saez attributes the trend not just to technology and job outsourcing, but to the reduced power of progressive tax policies and unions, along with “changing social norms regarding pay inequality.”

Letter to the editor On the morning after my dad Bob Sharp’s funeral, the Oswald Chambers devotion I read compared faith to a river. “Regardless of how small the visible effects of our lives may appear to be, we have nothing to do with the outflow — this is the work of God. “God rarely allows a person to see how great a blessing he is to others.” He went on to say, that just as a river eventually flows around an obstacle, if we keep paying attention to our source, God, instead of the obstacle, we eventually will get around it or it will be removed.

I was struck by this devotion as I reflected on Dad’s life and funeral. I think Dad knew he had many friends but we heard some stories of lives Dad had touched that I’m sure he didn’t even realize.

I also thought of obstacles.

I can remember some obstacles that Dad got through or around, while Dad himself was an obstacle in some situations. What a beautiful metaphor, to think of a life and our collective lives as a river. Everyone’s life affects others and together, and especially with God’s help, we

can move or get around great obstacles.

What a blessing to reflect upon this fact and to consider our future actions in light of it.

It’s so inspiring to see all the community development going on in Humboldt, the river of work that people are doing, from new school facilities, to downtown businesses, to historical markings, to the new river park, people are working together to make Humboldt a thriving community of distinction.

Dad was proud of Humboldt and appreciative to participate in the progress.

As we reflect on the life of a 90-year-old cattleman, we appreciate the progress that has been made in Humboldt and the leadership that is in place to continue to move it forward past obstacles great and small. Humboldt, Iola, and Chanute have many, diverse resources. We hope you will all continue to value each other and the various streams and tributaries that flow together for progress.

Thanks to each of you for your blessings on our Dad and our family.

The Lions raise hundreds of dollars each year at the concession stand, with proceeds going to community projects.

This evening’s events are a free bean feed, children’s cash grab

and pedal tractor pull.

Judging of exhibits will start at noon Friday and continue into the evening. A senior citizens turtle race — maybe the fair’s most unique event — starts at 4 p.m. and bingo takes center stage at 7 o’clock.

A 2.5K walk/5K run kicks off Saturday’s

the parade and TA Hamilton will entertain, starting at 7 p.m., with magic tricks.

change, but both Jacobson and Masterson agreed it was something that needed to be done, for the students and for the college.

“We need to change the culture, and we took one big step in changing that culture,” Masterson said. “Students now know that we mean business.”

The new deadline also allows students to receive a full refund if

they choose to drop a class. This year’s deadline to pay for classes was Sept. 1. The fall semester began Aug. 19.

Jacobson said the original system left students in debt if they failed to pay tuition and withdrew from a course after the refund date.

While the time has been shortened, she said it will keep students from losing any money they had paid for courses.

“We kind of ripped

the bandage off,” Jacobson said. “We thought we were being nice to students, but we really weren’t.”

ACC BOARD members agreed to amend the student courseload guideline in the college’s academic policy handbook.

Students wanting to take more than 18 hours of classes for a 16-week semester are not required to re-

ceive a signature from the dean of their college; a signature from the vice president of academic affairs is required for those wishing to take on a 21hour load.

As for eight-week semesters, such as summer courses, students wishing to take on 12 hours of courses, as opposed to the suggested nine, must receive a dean’s signature as well.

Continued from A1 vices such as help with chores and personal assistants. The money, to be spent over the next two years, will come from savings from an overhaul of the state’s Medicaid program, which covers health care for the needy and disabled.

The state was paying for in-home services for about 8,400 developmentally disabled residents and 5,700 physically disabled residents as of mid-August. Nearly 3,000 developmentally disabled and about 2,000 physically disabled Kansas residents were on waiting lists. Officials now expect 250 developmentally disabled and 400 physically disabled people to be removed from the waiting lists, shrinking the lists by 13 percent.

The governor’s announcement highlighted a behind-the-scenes discussion among administration officials and advocates for the disabled about whether the state had to wait until January to release the funds under the budget approved by lawmakers.

The legislation said the money couldn’t be spent if services for the developmentally disabled weren’t included in the Medicaid overhaul. That won’t formally occur until January, though the policy already is set.

Brownback said Kansas officials are now confident enough that federal officials will sign off on the change to move forward with reducing the waiting lists. Federal officials must consent because Medicaid is jointly funded by states and the federal government.

“We’re beginning this early,” Brownback said.

“It’s my effort and desire that we get those waiting lists pulled down as rapidly as we can.”

Kansas turned over the administration of most of its $3 billion-ayear Medicaid program over to three private health insurance companies in January, contending it would provide better-coordinated health care at lower costs.

Advocates for the developmentally disabled resisted — skeptical of how they’d be treated by for-profit companies — and the state excluded them from the overhaul until next year.

The overhauled Medicaid program, renamed KanCare, covers about 342,000 Kansas residents.

Brownback proposed in May that the state shift its expected “KanCare dividend” to the waiting lists for in-home services for the disabled, but legislators made it contingent on ending the “carve out” for the developmentally disabled.

Last month, officials with InterHab, which represents groups providing services to the developmentally disabled, sent Brownback a letter, pressing him to have the funds released immediately. The letter said “state agency officials” were saying the money wouldn’t be released until early next year.

“We’re just glad they took another look at it,” said Tom Laing, InterHab’s executive director.

And Rocky Nichols, executive director of the Disability Rights Center of Kansas, said: “Sooner is obviously better than later, and so we’re glad they’re releasing the dollars sooner.”

Annie: Play coming Book gives insights on special needs Continued from A1 orphanage.

Warbucks dispatches his secretary, played by Iola’s Kristina Palmer, to the orphanage to fetch a child to intervene on the loneliness that a life of business-only has created.

Annie shines as the perfect selection but, not to spoil the plot, a handful of twists and turns ensue among a variety of relationships, including the enlistment of President Roosevelt (Jeff Cokely) when Annie goes missing.

Notable numbers include the songs “Hard Knock Life,” by the orphanage ensemble, “Tomorrow,” by Annie, and “Easy Street,” by Miss Hannigan, portrayed by Liz Ulrich.

THE

PRODUCTION

enlists a large cast, 15 of whom are new faces to the ICT stage, including Lampe, McMurray and Palmer.

Ulrich has performed before. She has an easy manner, which makes her version of Miss Hannigan, something of a lush, believable.

Jake Ard, as Rooster and a wannabe parent of Annie, also has been on stage previous, but Angela Whitmore as Lily, his lady friend, hasn’t.

They join with Ulrich for a little dance number that’s a hoot.

Six other orphans have several appearances. They are Jadyn Kaufman, Caiden Cloud, Austyn Stewart Hailey Hammer, Josie Plumlee and Haley Carlin.

A number of other actors, including some newcomers, flesh out the show by playing several roles. Among them is Pete Peters, a veteran, whose dry wit comes across even when he has no dialogue.

“What Can She Say? What Can We Say?” will be presented at 7 p.m. on Nov. 5 at the library.

Rhonda Etter of Southeast Kansas Assistive Technology at SKIL and David Wilson, retiree from the Independent Living Center, will talk about the etiquette

of interaction with disabled people. They will also demonstrate an augmentative communication device similar to the one Melody gets in the book.

Books are for free distribution and should be passed on to someone else or returned to the library or one of the Iola Reads boxes around town. A donation of $2 or more is requested from those wishing to keep a copy.

Visiting Highland Community College took full advantage of just enough ACC mistakes, sweeping past the Red Devils in straight sets, 25-18, 25-17, 25-19.

The loss came in Allen’s home opener in front a boisterous crowd, most notably the school’s raucus student cheering section.

Red Devil head coach Jessica Peters was disppointed her team couldn’t give the supporters a better show.

“Highland played well, but it seemed like for every point they earned, we gave them two more,” Peters said. “We played with them at points, but we let them outwork and outsmart us.”

The visiting Scotties were particularly effective at the net. For every winner blasted into the Red Devil defense, Highland also sprinkled in a number of tips just beyond the reach of ACC’s inside hitters.

“They definitely found something they could use, and they continually exploited it,” Peters said.

Each of the three games was a virtual carbon copy.

Allen and Highland traded rallies early on before the Scotties would pull in front at about the 10-point mark, go on a handful of extended rallies and keep the Red Devils safely at arm’s length.

Peters praised the work of outside hitter Danielle Goodman, who led the Red Devils with 12 kills, nearly twice as many as anybody else on the team. Sidney Keith had seven.

Mustangs face suddenly hot Oz

By RICHARD LUKEN richard@iolaregister.com

Iola High’s Mustangs will face a suddenly dangerous and confident bunch when Osawatomie comes to town Friday.

The young Trojan squad defeated Neodesha, 47-36, in their opener last week to snap a 17-game losing streak, and brings an underclassmendominated roster to Iola for Friday’s home opener for the Mustangs. Kickoff is at 7 p.m. at Riverside Park.

“They’re very young and they’re 1-0,” Iola head coach Doug Kerr said. “That tells me they already have confi-

dence, and they already know how to win. That puts them in a whole different category of dangerous.”

They’re also explosive.

Osawatomie’s offense is keyed by a pair of sophomores, running back Riley England and quarterback Brody Russell, who starred in the win over the Bluestreaks. England ran for a whopping 288 yards and four touchdowns and had 60 yards receiving on two catches with another score. Russell threw for 181 yards and three touchdowns.

“They’re predominantly an option team that likes to run, but they have a real good tight end,” in Chaseton Wylie, who

caught Russell’s other two touchdown passes, Kerr said.

Osawatomie’s winless 2012 wasn’t indicative of the effort put forth in their matchup against the Mustangs last year. Iola raced to a quick 21-0 lead before the Trojans scored 13 unanswered points before the end of the first quarter.

A pair of John Whitworth touchdown passes in the second and third quarters helped Iola stay safely ahead in their 40-28 win.

In attacking Osawatomie’s defense, Iola must be successful on the ground, Kerr said, and if necessary, through the See MUSTANGS | Page B4

Program teaches women hunting safety, outdoors life

By BOB JOHNSON bob@iolaregister.com

Jennifer Foster grew up in a family that hunted, but the thought of rising early to trudge afield never held much fascination. That is until she went hunting with her husband, Drew.

“I was hooked,” Foster said, as she put finishing touches for this Saturday’s “Women in the Outdoors Day” event near Le Roy. The program will acquaint women with hunting and include certification and purchase of hunting licenses, for those so inclined.

The First Upland Pioneers chapter is sponsoring the event.

The chapter is part of the National Wild Turkey Federation.

Saturday’s activities are limited to females 18 and older.

Steve Barlow, a NWTF regional director, is “trying to get a wi-fi connection for Saturday, which would mean

Jennifer Foster women completing the course could purchase a hunting license in the afternoon and then go hunting,” Foster said.

“It would be the first time ever that hunter certification, including purchase of a license, would have been completed all in the same day.”

To date 33 women — more than 50 overall for all events — have enrolled in the course, which with other activities will be at Lost Creek Lodge, 2078 SE Third Rd.

“That’s about two miles east of Le Roy to the Neosho Falls (hard-surfaced) road, south a mile and then back to the right (west),” Foster directed. “Women may sign up that day for the hunter education course.”

The turkey federation has as a goal signing up 1.5 million new hunters over the next 10 years.

“It’s a wonderful sport, and one you can do as a family,” such as she and Drew have, said Foster.

They have seized the habit of harvesting two deer apiece each fall, doe and buck, and then processing the meat themselves.

“I can’t imagine how much money we’ve saved with the venison,” Foster said.

THE FEE for the “Women in the Outdoors Day” is $35, including those who arrive without prior notice on Saturday. The fee includes lunch

and all supplies.

Call Foster at 620-496-8062 for information.

Participants will have many choices: 3-D archery range, fly fishing, BB gun range, trap shooting, rifle shooting, first aid and survival skills, hand gun range, women’s self defense, and the hunter’s education course.

Foster said enough registrants were interested in fly fishing that arrangements have been made for two instructors from Springfield.

Jeff Collins, a Humboldt police officer and owner of Crosshair Firearms & Training, will instruct the self-defense course.

“His brother, Chris Collins, is planning on being there to help” Foster said.

Chris Collins participated in the television reality show, “Top Shot.”

“It’s going to be a fun day and the women will learn a lot,” Foster said.

MV coaching saga clarified MORAN — Dan Uhlrich isn’t the only new head football coach for Marmaton Valley High School.

At a special USD 256 Board of Education meeting Wednesday, the district further clarified the duties for Uhlrich, Kyle McAloon and Derek Scharff. All three are considered co-head coaches.

The trio were appointed to replace Kent Houk, who resigned Sept. 4, two days before the 2013 season began. Uhlrich, McAloon and Scharff were assistants under Houk.

The head coaching duties will be split among the three, with Uhlrich serving as the team’s head coach during games.

The remaining head coach’s salary left over from Houk’s resignation will be split among the three.

Marmaton Valley visits Crest on Friday.

The Iola Register

Iola soccer squads compete PAOLA — Iola Blue and Gold Soccer Club opened the 2013 fall season in fine fashion Saturday, even with broiling temperatures well into the 90s.

Blue and Gold consists of three teams, 1412- and 10-and-under.

The 14-and-under group thumped Louisburg 8-1. Collin Bedell scored two goals with three assists. Desiree Hartpence added two goals, as did Nolan

Jones. Matt Karr scored the final goal. Jones had two assists.

Parker Smith had four saves, Bret Plumlee two.

The 14-and-under squad won despite being down two players because of other commitments, head coach Brek Ulrich said.

The 10-and-under team was in a similar boat, with four players gone because of commitments with the Al-

B3

len County Youth Tackle Football League.

Even so, the club stood toe-to-toe with LaCygne before falling 5-4.

Carter Wilson had three goals, two of which came from Logan Ulrich assists. William Jay scored the other goal.

Brett Willis had four saves in goal. Will Talkington added four saves.

Iola’s teams play in the Paola Soccer Club League this fall.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Danielle did a great job,â&#x20AC;? Peters said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She proved she could be consistently effective out there, but she was the only one who did.â&#x20AC;?

air. Kerr said to expect the Trojans to deploy a defense similar to the one utilized by Cherryvale, with several defenders crowding the line of scrimmage to slow Iolaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rushing attack. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully, our receivers showed enough that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to respect our passing game, too,â&#x20AC;?

Kerr said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re confident we can move the ball through the air.â&#x20AC;?

Osawatomieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense struggled in the first half against Neodesha, as the Trojans trailed 28-14 midway through the second quarter. But a few apparent defensive adjustments proved effective, limiting Neodesha to less than 100 yards

and one touchdown in the second half.

FRIDAYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S game also will feature the first of a series of blasts from the Mustangsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; past.

The school will recognize all former IHS players who have suited up for Iola since 2000. The alums will be asked to sign in when they arrive

at the game. The players will be introduced at the end of the first quarter.

Kerr said several trivia questions related to Mustang football will be asked during the game.

Prizes will be given to the first ones who offer up correct answers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to get a club,â&#x20AC;? Kerr said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This should be a lot of fun.â&#x20AC;?

welded together end-toend.

The duo designed and built their modified catamaran in late July after hearing about a similar boat challenge in Chanute.

Lewis drew up the design, while Mirante did the grunt work, assembling the watercraft over the span of about 10 hours.

Not only did the vessel float, it allowed Mirante and a copilot to easily win the Chanute race in late August. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We tried it out so we knew it would float,â&#x20AC;?

Mirante said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really glides along the water, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to steer.â&#x20AC;?

will take the boats about 150 yards â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from the starting line near shore to a buoy and back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to go quickly,â&#x20AC;? Lewis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take but a few minutes for some of those boats.â&#x20AC;?

Lewis is unsure how many participants will be on hand. Only four were entered in the Chanute races, and the Chanute Elks members have been invited to partake in the Iola race.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard of a couple of guys around town who want to build something,â&#x20AC;? Lewis said.

Mirante is assembling another boat, similar in design, but made of wood and capable of holding only the pilot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were some clever designs in Chanute,â&#x20AC;? Mirante said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A couple of kids made a paddle boat, powered by a bicycle. They did pretty well until the end

when they got tired, so they just jumped off and started swimming.â&#x20AC;?

The community is invited to watch. No admission will be charged to the spectators. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how many people will show up,â&#x20AC;? Lewis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just trying to slowly build this thing into a fun event.â&#x20AC;?
