Concerns addressed with EMS merger

By BOB JOHNSON bob@iolaregister.com

The fat lady’s aria detailing merger of Allen County and Iola’s ambulance services may not be heard quite as quickly as had been anticipated.

Allen County commissioners said Tuesday morning they had concerns about how county employees would be treated in transfer to the city service and wanted the contract with Iola to detail provisions for such things as seniority, vacation, sick leave and salaries.

Before that hiccup surfaced, it appeared the contract was nearly a done deal, with city council members to consider it Monday night and commissioners next Tuesday.

City Administrator Carl Slaugh said he would work feverishly to deal with the personnel issues, with allowance that he might have them resolved by next week.

“We want to protect our employees,” who decide to continue in ambulance service as medics and firefighters, said Commission Chairman Dick Works.

Enbridge files suit for eminent domain

Enbridge Pipelines has filed an eminent domain lawsuit against Monarch Cement Company to accommodate construction of its crude oil pipeline in Allen County.

The pipeline, known commonly as the Flanagan South Pipeline, will run through Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and

Apparently they couldn’t reach an agreement. If they (Enbridge) have eminent domain rights, they’re going to get it (the land), the question is value.

A truly ‘Kansas’ excursion Marci Penner and WenDee LaPlant of the Kansas Sampler Foundation are visiting all 626 incorporated cities in Kansas on a research mission for the second edition of the “Kansas Guidebook for Explorers.”

Penner is the author of the “8 Wonders of Kansas” and the explorers’ guidebook. She hopes to have the second edition finished by December 2015.

Penner and LaPlant made their way through Allen County this week. They visited Iola, Gas, Elsmore, Moran and Mildred. Today they will visit Humboldt.

While they were in Iola they received a tour of the Bowlus Fine Arts Center and the Funston and Old Jail museums. The explorers checked out eateries, such as El Charro, King’s, Bolling’s Meat Market and Deli and Around the Corner.

Penner said the guidebook is not a tourism book.

The book is for those who are curious to see what Kansas has in store.

“As an explorer state Kansas is number one,” Penner said.

Attractions like the zinc Civil War soldier statue and the Eleanor Roosevelt outhouse in Iola Cemetery, at the west edge of town, are just a few of the fun things that they look for.

Kansas briefs Pittsburg passes tax for police, fire PITTSBURG, Kan. (AP) — Pittsburg police and firefighters will be getting more co-workers and new equipment, after voters approved a half-cent sales tax earmarked for their departments.

Unofficial results showed the tax questioned passed Tuesday by a margin of 767 to 502.

The Joplin Globe reports it will raise the sales tax in Pittsburg from a combined local, county and state rate of 8.4 cents to 8.9 cents.

City Manager Daron Hall says the new tax, which begins Jan. 1, will bring in an estimated $1.8 million per year over 10 years.

The police department will add another five patrol officers and a dispatcher, two detectives and a commander for the investigations unit, and a narcotics unit of three officers, along with new equipment. The fire department’s revenue will go mostly toward equipment.

missed his earlier claims.

The amended complaint filed Tuesday by David Vaughan addresses several mistakes in the original filing. Vaughan is no longer suing the Ellis County Sheriff ’s Department directly. Instead, he is now suing Ellis County and its commissioners as well as Sheriff Ed Harbin individually.

Vaughan contends he was fired as retaliation for reporting a co-worker who repeatedly used a stun gun on a handcuffed inmate. But he is no longer seeking damages under the Kansas Whistle Blowers Act because he missed the filing deadlines.

He now argues that his whistleblowing was protected under the First Amendment.

The sheriff has contended the claims are without merit.

College recruits students with scoreboard ads WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Universities are turning to high school gym scoreboards to recruit students.

The Wichita Eagle reports that Wichita State University paid the local school district $90,000 for three years of scoreboard banners and other promotions at high schools with athletic programs.

Brightly colored stickers that say “Buying alcohol for a minor can come with a hefty price” will be placed in businesses throughout Allen County on Friday.

Preferred Family Healthcare has teamed up with Allen County youth and law enforcement to educate citizens on problems of underage drinking.

On Friday the Sticker Shock Youth Initiative Teen Thinking material will be posted in Allen County liquor stores, convenience stores and grocery stores.

Although there are regulations and laws that minimize the opportunities for youth to use alcohol, community members must help enforce the laws.

Furnishing alcohol to minors and hosting minors at parties is illegal and will earn an adult large fines and even jail time. The Sticker Shock Initiative empowers the youth and prepares them to be powerful stakeholders in the fight against underage drinking.

Data indicates that sixth, eighth, tenth and twelfth grade students have consumed alcohol in the last 30 days and that Allen County is above the Kansas state average.

Convenience stores and liquor stores in Iola, Humboldt, Moran and Elsmore have agreed to participate in the initiative.

Kan. Salvation Army to help Colo.

Kansas City - The Salvation Army, Kansas and Western Missouri Division, is sending an emergency disaster services (EDS) team to Colorado to assist with relief efforts after days of deadly flash flooding in the state. Salvation Army Officer Lt. Lynn Lopez and EDS volunteer Kay Mollett, both from Emporia, left for Denver early this morning in a Salvation Army disaster vehicle, also known as a mobile canteen.

The canteen will be stocked with food and water to provide meals to flood survivors and first responders. It will join eight other Salvation Army mobile canteens currently serving those affected by the flooding in Colorado.

“What we’re going to do when we arrive is assist in any manner that we can,” said Lt. Lopez. “We’ve been praying for the people

of Colorado, where so many lives have been devastated and both Kay and I are honored to be called upon to help.” The team from Emporia will remain in Colorado for 7-10 days.

The flooding has impacted parts of 17 counties in Colorado, damaging or destroying thousands of homes and killing at least eight people. So far, The Salvation Army has provided more than 20,000 meals and nutritional items and 85,560 drinks to Colorado first responders, law enforcement and evacuees.

The Salvation Army uses 100 percent of disaster donations in support of local disaster relief operations.

To give, visit www. imsalvationar my.org or call 1-800-SAL-ARMY (1-800-725-2769) and designate “Colorado Floods.”

Many of us have children, and if you are a responsible parent, you will have had “The Talk” with your child (at the appropriate time, of course). Everyone who owns a dog needs to be prepared to have “The Talk” too, only with your vet, not your pet (and the appropriate time is when the puppy is under four months old). This series of articles is going to serve as a quick lesson on canine reproduction. (or maybe not so quick, there’s a lot to cover) As your dog approaches the end of her pregnancy, she may become either clingier or more stand-offish.

She may show “nesting” behavior, finding a favorite place where she feels safe, protected and private (hopefully the prepared whelping box). Her body temperature will drop about 24 hours before labor starts, from a normal value of 102 degrees (rectally) to as low as 98 degrees. Many breeders will take their dog’s temperature routinely, so that they can estimate the onset of labor. She may not eat much for the day or two before whelping. You may encourage her to eat small meals, but do not push too hard. Some dogs with large litters do not have much abdominal space to hold a large meal. Keep fresh water available to her at all times.

Some of the first signs of whelping (giving birth) are restlessness and hiding. Your dog will begin panting more than normal. She will not want to eat. She may pace. If you can sit with your hand on her abdomen, you may feel it become firm and them relax. At this time, the puppies are being positioned for birth. You will not see a heavy, strong contraction until the pup is in the birth canal. The early stages of labor can last from 2 to 8 hours. You may not even notice what is happening. When you can see contractions, when she is panting heavily and when she begins licking her vulva, birth is imminent. This stage of labor will usually not last longer than 1 hour. Once a puppy has been delivered, the female will deliver an average of 1 pup every 20 to 30 minutes. Unfortunately, she may deliver 2 pups in 15 minutes and then rest an hour before the next delivery, still making an average of one puppy each 20 to 30 minutes.

Your dog is in trouble when, after the first puppy is delivered, she has strong contractions for 2 hours, without another puppy making an appearance or if she is in labor, has strong contractions and doesn’t have a puppy at all. Call a veterinarian and discuss it with them. It is not advisable for you to attempt to make an internal exam. You will introduce bacteria into the birth canal, causing an infection, and you may get bitten. Do not “reach inside” and do not ignore the labor and hope it will right itself or “go away”. Call a veterinary office. They will answer questions during office hours in a friendly tone of voice. (At least we will try) Coming up in column 5 – how to care for your newborn puppies.

Davis tosses fedora into Kansas governor’s race

By JOHN MILBURN Associated Press

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Democrat Paul Davis officially entered the 2014 Kansas governor’s race on Tuesday, declaring it was “time to set things right” in seeking to defeat incumbent Republican Gov. Sam Brownback.

Davis, the House minority leader and Lawrence attorney, announced his plans through Facebook and Twitter, as well as a

YouTube video. It is the 41-year-old Davis’ first attempt at a statewide of fice.

No other Democ r a t s h a v e joined the race. “ A s K a n s a n s , Paul Davis we believe we have a moral obligation to educate our children, reward hard work, build a strong middle class

and cooperate with one another,” Davis said in a statement. “These values are what make us Kansans.”

In an online video announcing his candidacy, Davis said he wants to focus on education, protect the middle class and reward hard work.

He has been critical of cuts to Kansas’ income tax rates that were enacted by the GOP-controlled Legislature and Brownback in 2012 and 2013, arguing the lost revenue would harm ed-

ucation, social services and other essential state services.

Kansas Republican Party Chairman Kelly Arnold said the announcement was expected.

“He is a partisan leader of a minority caucus. He’s been out of touch with the voters of Kansas,” Arnold said, suggesting Davis is too liberal. “It’s a statewide campaign and I don’t know that Paul Davis knows that Kansas goes west of Topeka.”

But Democratic leaders quickly lined up behind Davis, calling him a voice who would appeal to Democrats, independents and moderate Republicans who feel alienated by the Kansas GOP’s conservative stance.

Those crossover GOP votes will be critical in Kansas where Republicans outnumber Democrats in voter registration by more than 344,000 among nearly 1.8 million registered voters.

“This race is about the steep cost of being a Kansan. These costs have skyrocketed because of Sam Brownback’s bad policies. Paul Davis will fight for our kids, our families and get our state back on

since 2003 and leader of the Democratic caucus since 2008.

Former Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius is scheduled to appear at a Thursday reception for Davis in Mission Hills.

Sebelius was the last

track,” said Jason Perkey, executive director of the Kansas Democratic Party.

Added Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, a Topeka Democrat, “We need a governor whose actions will speak louder than words.”

Republicans outnumber Democrats in the Kansas House by a 92-33 margin. Davis has been in the Kansas House

Democrat to serve as Kansas governor, winning in 2002 and 2006 before resigning in 2009 to become secretary of Health and Human Services.

Arnold said having Sebelius campaign for Davis “won’t play in Kansas,” adding the implementation of Obama’s health care law has been unpopular in the state.

Hutchinson Regional settles Will pay $853,651 in suit over false claims to the U.S. gov’t WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Hutchinson Regional Medical Center has reached a settlement over allegations it submitted false claims to the Medicare program, agreeing to pay $853,651 to the United States, the U.S. attorney’s office said Tuesday.

The payment is in addition to the money the hospital has already refunded the Medicare program for the claims, resulting in a total payment of $1.7 million.

The hospital, formerly known as Promise Regional Medical Center, has also entered into a “corporate

integrity agreement” with the Department of Health and Human Services’ fiscal watchdog.

“Today’s settlement demonstrates our continuing commitment to protect the integrity of the Medicare program,” U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said in a news release. “It is the latest example of how the Office of Inspector General for HHS and this office work hard together to assure appropriate care to beneficiaries and recover improperly paid funds.”

Under the terms of the agreement, the hos-

pital does not admit any wrongdoing. Its spokeswoman said an executive would comment later Tuesday.

At issue are claims submitted between 2007 and 2011 for a procedure known as hyperbaric oxygen wound therapy services. The process involves placing a patient’s entire body in a chamber of oxygen with increased pressure. The government contends the procedure was not medically necessary or was undocumented.

The government also alleged the claims resulted from kickback arrangements the hospital had with at least one doctor and the company supplying the chambers.

Opinion A4 The Iola Register

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Wednesday, September 18, 2013

Have some fun; take in a game Friday night Friday night is a special night for Iola and Humboldt high school football fans, one that should have stands in the two towns filled to the brim.

The Mustangs and Cubs have broken quickly from the gate, each with two wins and games on the horizon that will be meaningful for each program.

IHS probably has the tougher go, facing a Coffeyville team that not only has won its first two games, but done so in excruciating fashion for opponents. The Golden Tornado whipped cross-county rival Independence 63-20 in its opener and then slam-dunked Parsons 68-0 last week.

The scores may be a little deceiving — Indy and Parsons aren’t the steamrolling teams they once were — but it’s difficult to dismiss as accidental 131 points in just two games.

Some teams don’t score that much in a season.

However, the Mustangs are a mighty fine team this year, one that seemed near mid-season form in whipping up on Osawatomie last Friday night. Iola has good speed and size and, perhaps most importantly, depth on both sides of the ball.

The Mustangs have a stable of running backs who just keep coming, with both power and speed. Their passing game has targets aplenty, sure-handed kids who dart hither and yon.

The swarming defense shut down an Osawatomie attack that had been impressive in victory at Neodesha.

Coffeyville, as highly regarded as it is with lightning-quick backs, may come to town just a little cocky. If the Mustangs are to author a victory, stands crammed full of loud and rowdy fans will be a big help.

At Humboldt, the Cubs will be facing a Neodesha

team that probably is better than its 0-2 record.

The Bluestreaks lost a close one to Osawatomie in its opener, 47-36, and then last week were shut out 62-0

by Silver Lake, a perennial power from the north part of the state.

Meanwhile, Humboldt opened with a victory at Arma and then, in a game that statistically didn’t predict such a lopsided score, raced past Jayhawk-Linn 55-2.

The night promises to be of hallmark importance for the Cubs, who will play the first game ever at Humboldt’s new sports complex that features artificial turf and amenities seldom found at high schools several times larger.

A good many Humboldt folks came together, not only to make the complex possible but also to make sure it was ready for the first game Friday.

A suggestion: Show up well ahead of game time (7 p.m.); premium seatback accommodations will go quickly, as will the rest of the sparkling new aluminum bleacher seating.

HIGH SCHOOL is a time for students to prep for what lies ahead, college or work-a-day lives, but it also is a time for teenagers to experience all the fun and excitement that stop in life’s journey offers.

High school football and the many other sports are an aside that is most important part of the trek, education itself.

But, it is true that all work and no fun makes Johnny and Jill dull kids.

There won’t be any dull moments in this part of Allen County, when students — from those participating to many on hand to exhibit school spirit — gather under “Friday night lights.”

Labor union leaders line their pockets Labor union membership as a percentage of the nation’s overall workforce has been steadily declining from its peak of 35 percent in the 1950s.

The result is that unions now represent only 6.6 percent of all private sector jobs, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The BLS data makes it clear that the trend isn’t going to reverse any time soon, either, because unions lost 400,000 members last year as total employment grew by 2.6 mil-

lion. The only thing keeping Big Labor from becoming an incidental factor in the American workplace is that government employees are five times more likely to be unionized than those in the private sector.

If corporate executives lost market share as dramatically and steadily as the labor chieftains, they would be shown the door or their firms’ doors would be shuttered. Failure to develop and sell products and services that people want is a surefire

Suit: Common in land acquisition Continued from A1 ey,” Weber said. The power of eminent domain is hardly disputable, he said, and only the value of the property is up for debate.

“Apparently they couldn’t reach an agreement,” Weber said. “If they (Enbridge) have eminent domain rights, they’re going to get it (the land), the question is value.”

He said such cases are not uncommon in expansive operations such as Enbridge’s, but generally agreements are reached without them being taken to court. If Monarch Cement disagrees with the court’s finding on value, it has the right to appeal.

EMINENT

DOMAIN

has been in practice

since “before the constitution,” Weber said. It is most commonly used for major public infrastructure projects, such as roadways.

While not desirable, he said court action is sometimes necessary when valuation of a property can be difficult to assess. In this case, there are several easements on Monarch’s land already; and an introduction of a pipeline will affect the value of such easements.

He said both entities had “worked for months” to reach an agreement, which ultimately resulted in the court action.

“It doesn’t reflect badly on either one,” Weber said. “It happens all of the time.”

This is a diagram outlining a section of the land Enbridge is acquiring for pipeline construction.

Merger: Apprehension abounds Continued from A1

Commissioner Tom Williams chimed in that he too was eager for county employees not to suffer financially with a transfer.

The contractual glitch popped up when Slaugh and commissioners were discussing what the city’s control of countywide ambulance service would mean financially, to county taxpayers as a whole and those who live within Iola.

Slaugh’s estimate is the combination of ambulance and fire service will cost about $2.1 million during 2014, compared to $2.5 million with the way things have been with two ambulance services.

Works suggested that might permit commissioners to lower the county’s mill levy by 3 to 5 mills.

But, that may be offset for Iolans by an increase in the city’s levy to cope with added expense of having all ambulance responsibilities. Slaugh said $100,000 to $150,000 might be needed above what the city will receive from the county — a guarantee of $750,000 from run charges — and money budgeted to meet expenses. If that were the case, Iolan’s property tax levies could increase by 3 to 5 mills.

However, Slaugh stressed that it was next to impossible to access with much accuracy what costs will be before some time has passed with Iola in charge.

A SURVEY of 19 fulltime county ambulance employees found that transfer and compensation issues may not affect many.

Mike Burnett, interim county director, said 16 didn’t “plan on staying to work with the fire department.” One expressed interest; two were undecided.

The survey was done ahead of decisions on how transfers would work and how those eligible — part-time responders aren’t being considered initially — would be treated as city employees.

The survey also found that seven employees planned to leave before Dec. 31 — effective date for the merger is Jan. 1 — while eight others were undecided and four intended to continue working.

Several said in comments that they didn’t want to take on firefighting responsibilities, which is a part of the city’s plan with the merger.

Slaugh’s response was that the city would “make (the transfer) as accommodating as possible, but when it comes down to it, we have a job to do” and those involved must “be part of a team.”

WORKS SAID the merger as proposed “is not the optimum solution, but it is better than we have now,” referring to two ambulance services.

Several Humboldt residents, including council members Sunny Shreeve, Vada Aikins and Jerry Stephens, told commissioners ahead of discussions about personnel and finances that they had concerns about Iola running a countywide service in conjunction with its fire department.

“I feel there has been no consideration given to the entire county, only Iola,” Aikins said. “The state assessment done last year showed many inadequacies in the Iola EMS service and facilities compared to the Allen County EMS service.

Why in the world would we want to have less?”

She questioned whether Humboldt residents would receive less care, with Iola having just three paramedics and indications that it may be difficult to increase that number enough to fully staff three ambulances 24/7 in Iola, Humboldt and Moran.

Williams countered that the contract commissioners negotiated with Iola ensured the level of care in outlying areas would not degrade.

In response to another comment, Williams said finances were not an overriding consideration in construction of the merger, certainly “not more important than life” of patients. He also observed that the merger was “probably a better deal for the county” than the city, with it willing to step up and as-

sume the responsibility.

At some point it was noted that if Iola were to fail to provide a type I service — a paramedic on every run — or defaulted responsibility, a termination clause in the contract would be triggered.

Works fortified Williams’ responses that the city’s service would have type I service in all three towns, and would remain one of the best countywide services in the area. He pointed out that many counties, including larger ones, didn’t have the coverage Allen County has had and would continue to have.

“It is a leap of faith,” Williams allowed, and that he hoped “all in the county will try to make it work.”

Joel Wicoff, Iola mayor, interjected that the city had no intention of reducing personnel or service provided, with type I being a component of the contract.

As discussion wound down, Stephens asked if the county was prepared to make the call to pull the plug on the contract if the city didn’t meet its responsibilities.

No question, said Works.

“It is no different than if we contracted with an outside provider,” Works added.

“Essentially, that’s what the county is doing.”

“I think it will work better than anyone in this room thinks,” Williams said.

A win for the record books Rowe scores four in 8-0 Red Devil rout

By RICHARD LUKEN richard@iolaregister.com

It took about 3½ minutes in the first half and 75 seconds in the second to turn a memorable day into a historic one for Allen Community College’s women.

The Red Devils, behind the scoring wizardry of freshman Kyleigh Rowe and the passing of Lexi Godlove, set a school record Wednesday by crushing visiting Cloud Community College, 8-0.

Rowe and Godlove were in the middle of it from the getgo, Rowe with a career-high four goals, and Godlove with a goal and four assists.

After missing a shot just wide seconds earlier, Rowe was on the money on her See 8-0 | Page B2

Allen wins overtime thriller

By RICHARD LUKEN richard@iolaregister.com

The setting looked all too familiar to Doug Desmarteau and his Allen Community College soccer team.

For the third game in a row, the Red Devils let a slim lead slip away, this one to visiting Cloud Community College Tuesday afternoon.

Desmarteau’s hope: that ACC could prevent the loss, something it was unable to do in its to previous overtime sessions.

Sophomore Dorian Fox was there to ensure the third (over) time was the charm.

Wildcats, Lady Titans earn volleyball splits MORAN — Marmaton Valley High split a pair of matches at home Tuesday, falling to visiting Southern Coffey County, 25-21, 25-19, before rebounding to defeat St. Paul in dramatic fashion. After dropping the first game against the Indians, 25-15, Marmaton Valley rebounded to take game two, 25-23, and the finale, 25-21.

“The girls just didn’t show up to play against SCC,” Marmaton Valley head coach Terra Kegler said. “The first set against St. Paul wasn’t pretty.

We had a ‘talk’ after that set, and the girls delivered. They

showed a lot of heart. I am proud of them for stepping up and finishing. The St. Paul game should give them confidence, and they now know their potential. St. Paul is a solid team, making this win even better.”

Mackenzie Tynon led the way over the Indians with seven points and eight kills, after delivering 10 kills against Southern Coffey County. Emily Boyd and Kyla Drake each had five points in the win. Tapanga Turner added six kills,

Humboldt volleyball sweeps Cherryvale, A-M HUMBOLDT — Humboldt High’s volleyball team was not at its best Tuesday, but still managed to sweep past two opponents.

The Lady Cubs downed visiting Cherryvale, 25-20, 25-18, and Altoona-Midway, 25-15, 25-18.

“We did not play our best volleyball tonight, but I am proud of the girls for sticking with it and picking up the victories,” Humboldt head coach Stephanie Splechter said.

Senior Sheri Middleton led the way for Humboldt against Cherryvale, with 10 kills, eight

points and three aces. Breanna Kline added three kills, three aces and eight points. Kayle Riebel had four kills and two points. Brook Turner and Delaney Umholtz added two kills each. Umholtz also had eight points. Anna Setter had 13 assists, Annalise Whitcomb five See HUMBOLDT | Page B3

FORT SCOTT — Caressa Lowell’s third-place finish highlighted a busy day on the court Monday for Iola High’s junior varsity tennis team.

Lowell went 2-2 in No. 2 singles play, defeating Ashlee Montojo, 6-1, and Jocy Diaz of Fort Scott, 6-2. Lowell came up short against Chanute’s Caroline Kimberlin and Trina Paul of Pittsburg.

Iola’s other competitors weren’t as successful.

Khrystal Smith went 0-3 in No. 1 singles, falling to Angela Alger of Chanute, Alex King of Fort Scott and Abi Felter of Pittsburg.

Iola’s Kelsey Hale and Tori Smith dropped decisions to Lawrence and Ungles of Chanute, Engle and Norris of Fort Scott, Cicero and Benedict of Pittsburg, and a makeshift team of Greer and Daniels.

Tori Danford and Judy Branstetter also went 0-4, falling to Graham and Stadler of Chanute, Cunningham and Adams of Fort Scott, Curlee and Stewart of Pittsburg and Leslie and Wiliams, another SEK combo team.

“Though the temperatures were great for tennis, many of the matches were played while it was sprinkling,” IHS tennis coach Jennifer Bycroft said.

“Khrystal and Caressa did a nice job in singles. We need to learn to mix up our shots better, to keep the ball away from our opponents.”

Iola squad withstands Mound City MOUND CITY — A second-quarter touchdown by Iola Blue’s Cal Leonard on a five-yard run stood up for the fifthand sixth-graders in a 7-0 win over Mound City in Allen County Youth Tackle Football League action.

The Iola defense withstood a late Mound City

challenge, holding them on fourth down inside the Iola 20.

Iola’s defense allowed only 12 yards of total offense and two first downs.

“Our defense kept us in the game after those two turnovers, and kept the momentum on our side. It was a great game.

I am very proud of my team,” head coach Jeremy Sellman said.

Devon Reiter had five tackles, two for losses, to lead the Mustang defense. Evan Bain added four tackles, three for losses.

Casen Barker, Dylon Reiter and Casen Barker combined for 96 of Iola’s

117 yards of total offense.

In other games Tuesday, Garnett defeated Iola Gold, 34-7, and Humboldt shut out Yates Center, 31-0, in grades 5-6.

ond attempt of the day, scoring off a Godlove pass less than 10 minutes into the game.

Godlove took less than two minutes to double the lead, delivering a shot out of the Cloud goalkeeper’s reach at the 13:50 mark of the first half.

Godlove then fed Rowe on a corner kick less than two minutes later. Rowe slipped past a Cloud defender, then lofted another shot beyond the goalkeeper’s reach.

“It really wasn’t anything I planned,” Rowe said. “We just wanted to get a conference win and stay undefeated at

home.”

The onslaught continued after halftime.

Rowe scored her third goal at the 21:59 mark, and her fourth off a deflection at 20:45, pushing the lead to 5-0 over the shell-shocked Thunderbirds.

By then, Allen head coach Jeremy McGinnis was able to substitute freely.

Even players not accustomed to scoring got into the act.

Rachael Little took a Rowe assist and punched it past the T-Bird goalkeeper at the 12:18 mark.

Savvy Fairall was next three minutes later.

Kristen Tainatongo’s blast with 17 seconds left

also found paydirt, putting a fitting cap on a day for the Red Devils, who scored a collective five goals as a team in 2012.

“We’re putting things together,” McGinnis said. “The girls have been doing extra work to get things the way we like it. Beating somebody 8-0 is something we’ve never done in the history of this school.”

Allen earned the win without two starters, Kalynn Gallarde and Carlee Brinkman, who were injured in a violent collision in practice Tuesday.

McGinnis credited Allen’s defense, particularly its back line, which kept goalkeeper

Keelie Arbuckle mostly idle through the match.

Arbuckle easily handled any shots Cloud got past other ACC defenders.

Carleigh Konrade and Tainatongo also had assists, as did Natalie Leiker, one of the back line stalwarts, McGinnis noted.

“The girls have done a great job,” he said. “If they keep improving like they have been, this team has an opportunity to do some great things.”

“I think teams have been underestimating us,” Rowe agreed.

With performances such as those Wednesday, that’s unlikely to be the case any more.

Overtime: ACC men down Cloud Continued from B1

Loflin blast ricocheted off the sidepost with just under six minutes left in the overtime. Fox was able to react quicker than the Cloud goalkeeper, punching in the miss, prompting a euphoric roar from his Red Devil teammates.

“It all happened so fast, that you really don’t have time to think,” Fox said. “I saw that after the ricochet that their goalkeeper didn’t get back in time. An opportunity presented itself, and I was able to finish the job.”

Allen’s 2-1 win evens the Red Devils’ record at 3-3 overall and 1-1 in Jayhawk Conference and

Region VI play.

“This was a big win for us,” Desmarteau said.

“Cloud is a very good team. Both teams are good. We finally found a way to pull out a win.”

The win likely would not have been possible without the late-game heroics of ACC goalkeeper Victor Ortega, who stymied a handful of point-blank Thunderbird shots in the waning moments.

“Victor had a couple of brilliant saves,” Desmarteau said. “Our back line did a nice job today.”

Cloud, which evened the score at 1-1 on a Kerbson Lubin goal midway through the second half,

briefly looked to have a lead on a goal with about 90 seconds left in the match.

But the goal was disallowed because a Thunderbird player was called offside as the Cloud players began to celebrate.

“I saw the referee put his flag up immediately, so I knew it wasn’t going to count,” Ortega said.

“I just had to step up and do what I could. It was good to get an overtime and a conference win.”

Cloud came up empty on a couple of early scoring opportunities

— Ortega’s leaping save of a ball he deflected off the top crossbar was a highlight — while Dallas Fiszel gave Allen a 1-0 lead on a goal with 7:42 left in the first half.

Oscar Marrufo was credited with the assist.

The lead stood until Cloud, the 20th ranked team in the nation, opened the second half with another round of offensive pressure. Loflin’s goal with 23:53 left in the game evened the score.

COLONY — Yates Center High’s volleyball team picked up its first win of the season Tuesday, defeating host Crest, 25-18, 25-14.

Neither Yates Center nor Crest had much of an answer for Class 3A power Burlington, which defeated Yates Center, 25-11, 25-4, and the host Lady Lancers, 25-7, 25-9. “It was nice to get a win,� Yates Center head coach Jennifer Davis said. “That helps, but I’m still disappointed with how we did against Burlington. We didn’t have a lot of leadership in that match.�

Davis singled out the efforts of Ashlie Pringle and Brook Luedke as team leaders.

The Iola Register

Should in-laws assist in parenting?

Dear Carolyn: My husband’s brother has four kids under 10.

They are all sweet kids, really. But they talk back, don’t listen, don’t take no for an answer, and seek out trouble for attention. Conversations are interrupted, and we spend a good portion of the visit listening to their parents saying no over and over, repeating instructions, negotiating, yelling and making idle threats.

My husband and I have decided it’s okay to just handle it without their parents if bad behavior is directed toward us.

We’ve also started seeing less of them because their family dynamics are unpleasant.

Should we say something to the parents (which will probably be taken badly because we don’t have any kids ourselves)? — In-Laws.

What would be your intention in saying something — to explain your pulling away? To wake them up to their

Tell Me About It Carolyn Hax parental failings? To improve them? To register your disapproval?

Their household sounds more chaotic than necessary, but I won’t bother trying to figure out how much chaos is unavoidable with 4 under 10, and how much of your opinion is affected by your not having kids of your own. I can’t call these accurately without being there.

Fortunately, the conversation can stop at, “What do you hope to accomplish?” I just don’t see any benefit to your speaking up — for them, for you, or for family peace. Best just to hang on, at arm’s length if needed, till the kids/parents outgrow this phase.

Re: Chaotic Family:

You might want to ask

them whether the kids are always this hyped up, or is it a function of going outside their normal schedule (well-known phenomenon). Ask them if they consider the kids’ behavior an issue, what they’ve done to address, etc.

You might find out a whole lot by asking them their view, rather than telling them yours. It also gives you about the only avenue to discuss the idle threats. — Anonymous This might seem sensitive and sensible on paper, but I’ve been there, with my own kids as the maniacs. Even knowing the misbehavior stemmed partly from being off their routine and partly from my failings as a parent, and knowing there is often value in outside perspectives, I can say with confidence that if you started asking me these questions, it would take all my earthly strength not to tell you to shove it.

B5

I stand by my advice to leave it alone. “In-Laws” are entitled to set boundaries when they interact with these kids, but it’s otherwise none of their business how the kids are being raised, short of abuse or neglect.

Re: Family:

I sympathize. We took the tack you suggested, but it’s been frustrating.

It’s almost impossible in these settings to have a real conversation. We’ve really curtailed our time at family events because of this and his family now thinks we’re standoffish. Is there a middle way? — Anonymous 2 Sure — minimize your daytime exposure by finding day trips, running errands, etc., and be at your most present after kiddie bedtime.

If you have a history of being involved and patient with the kids, you’re also in good standing to ask for adult time directly.

If these parents are touchy, though, it’s best just to ride it out.

Pancreatic cancer tough to pin down Dear Dr. Roach: My 82-year-old brother died in January from pancreatic cancer. Prior to his diagnosis, he was the picture of health: exercising vigorously every day, eating a healthy diet, keeping his mind active and alert and taking health supplements with no excessive drinking of alcoholic beverages (only occasional wine).

His only health complication was getting deepvein thrombosis from a long horseback ride, and he was placed on warfarin (Coumadin) and told to take it forever. He had his blood clotting levels monitored per the physician schedule. His dad lived to age 94, and our mother to 90. He thought he had the longevity genes. In researching the diagnosis and possible causes, we found several references to people taking this medication getting pancreatic cancer.

— T.A.

Pancreatic cancer remains one of the most feared malignancies because there isn’t an effective screening test, chemotherapy and radiation are only modestly useful and surgery, while the only reliable cure, often is not possible at the stage when most people with the disease present to Answer:

ZITS

their doctors. Although not the case for your brother, cigarette smoking and lack of exercise are clear risk factors for pancreatic cancer.

Pancreatic cancer is well known to cause blood clots. I suspect

what may have happened in your brother’s case is that the unknown pancreatic cancer, not the horseback ride, caused the initial blood clot. He then would have been on warfarin at the time the pancreatic cancer was di-

HAGAR THE HORRIBLE

agnosed.

One can never be sure what happens in any particular case. However, to my knowledge, there has never been a study suggesting that warfarin increases risk of pancreatic (or any other) cancer.

Income holds steady; number of uninsured declines

By TONY PUGH McClatchy Washington

WASHINGTON _ The nation’s elevated poverty rate and stagnant median household income showed no meaningful changes in 2012, while the number and percentage of Americans without health insurance declined slightly from 2011, due mainly to higher Medicare rolls, according to a new U.S. Census Bureau report Tuesday.

Last year marked the first time in five years that there was neither a decrease in median household income nor an increase in the percent of Americans in poverty, said David Johnson, the chief of the Census Bureau’s social, economic and housing statistics division. It was also the first time since 1992 that the annual changes in income and poverty weren’t statistically significant.

Those findings show that the economic and social well-being of Americans continued to stabilize in 2012 after several years of tumul-

tuous decline following the Great Recession, which began in late 2007 and lasted until mid2009.

But families still have a way to go to recapture even the modest economic strength of the weak pre-recession labor market.

Median household income — the amount at which half the country earns less and the other half earns more — was $51,017 last year. That’s not statistically different from the 2011 median of $51,100, but it does halt two straight years of decline.

For working-age households headed by a person younger than 65, the median income increased by 1 percent, from $56,802 in 2011 to $57,353 last year. But that slight uptick hardly makes up for the 9.3 percent decline — a loss of $5,815 — among working-age households from 2007 to 2011.

From 2000 to 2012, median income for these non-elderly households fell by $7,490, or 11.6 percent.

The numbers reflect a sluggish job market and long-term wage stagnation, said Lawrence Mishel, the president of the Economic Policy Institute, a liberal economic research center.

“We’re not seeing much growth in jobs,” he said. “We’re not seeing much growth in wages for anybody, college graduates or those without a college degree.

It shouldn’t be surprising that people’s incomes are going nowhere if they’re not working more, having more jobs or getting increases in their weekly paychecks.”

The national poverty rate remained at 15 percent last year, according to the census report, with 46.5 million people earning at or below the federal poverty line of $11,170 for an individual and $23,050 for a family of four. It was the second year in a row that the number of people in poverty and the poverty rate showed no meaningful change. The poverty rate was 12.5 percent in 2007, the year before the economy tanked.

The number and per-

centage of Americans without health insurance fell from 48.6 million, or 15.7 percent, in 2011, to 48 million, or 15.4 percent, in 2012, the census report found. The decline was driven mainly by an increase of nearly 2 million people with Medicare coverage as the first wave of aging baby boomers, born from 1946 to 1964, became eligible for the program.

Medicare enrollment jumped from 46.9 million in 2011 to nearly 48.9 million in 2012.

The census report comes at a time that each of the three measurements — poverty, health insurance coverage and income — is a hot-button issue across the country.

States are debating whether to cover more uninsured people through Medicaid as part of the Affordable Care Act. At least 10 states and several cities are considering increases to their minimum wages as new research from the University of Chicago shows that a record 8.4 percent of Americans now consider themselves “lower
