Finding workers often a struggle Classroom focus shifting to careers

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

Russell Stover Candies in Iola has more than 350 employees.

Across the street, Iola’s Advance Computer Enterprises is much smaller with 31.

Both, however, face similar challenges in finding quality employees in a shrinking labor pool.

Both would expand immediately if more quality workers are found.

Russell Stover would hire 20 employees immediately, to deal with high-demand seasonal candy production, Iola plant manager Darrell Weick told Iola and Allen County officials last month.

Likewise, “We’re looking at needing probably two or three more right now,” said Steve Prasko, co-owner at Advantage.

Somewhere at some point in time, came the formula for the “perfect life.”

Go to school, get good grades, advance to college and get the perfect job.

Except that idea doesn’t work for everyone.

Educators at Iola High School and Allen Community College are aware of this and in response have put plans in place to provide different maps for those following divergent paths.

Principal Stacey Fager has been at Iola High for eight years. He’s seen programs come and go.

He, like most educators, wants to see his students succeed in the best way possible, either in the classroom or in

separately with the Register about several topics facing industries today.

Russell Stover has a 40-percent employee turnover rate.

That is, it must replace 40 percent of its employees, each year.

The number sounds high, Weick said, but requires some perspective.

“The level of employee turnover we experience is typical of the candy and food business and does not impact our production,” Weick said.

“The 40 percent rate reflects seasonal workforce impact.”

Scholars qualify for TV show

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

After several years of near misses, Iola High School’s scholars bowl squad earned a slot in one of the toughest academic competitions around.

The IHS squad of Sarah Gonzalez, Jonathan Tidd, Andrew Waldman and Clara Wicoff has qualified to appear and compete in KTWU’s “Quest Academic Competition.”

The competition is a slightly modified version of a traditional scholars bowl. Teams of four compete against other teams on everything from language arts, science, social studies and math to such things as current events, sports and television shows.

It’s a ‘Wonderful’ show

By KAYLA BANZET The Iola Register

The Iola Community Theatre will present the Christmas classic, “It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play,” this weekend.

This play isn’t staged like most audiences are used to. Before television became popular families would gather around the radio in their living rooms and tune in to hear live actors perform shows.

Six Iola actors are re-enacting this acting style by performing in front of a live audience while reading the play. There are commercial breaks and sound effects. Actors will play multiple roles.

The play tells the story of George Bailey, a kind-hearted

man who puts everyone before himself. When his Uncle Billy accidentally misplaces company funds, George faces financial ruin and almost certain imprisonment. George panics and decides the only way out is by jumping off of a bridge. His guardian angel, Clarence, comes to George’s rescue by granting his wish that he had never been born.

Tickets are available at Sophisticated Rose. Call 620-3656278 to reserve tickets. Adult tickets are $15 and student tickets are $10. Tickets include a dessert prior to the show. The doors open at 6:30 p.m. with dessert served at 7 on Saturday. On Sunday doors will open at 1 p.m. with dessert served at 1:30. The show will start at 2 o’clock. Shows will also run Dec. 20 and 21.

Iola tots need toys for holidays

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

The Iola Police Department has some work to do in order to make Christmas a bit merrier for 50 area youngsters in need.

The department’s annual Project Care campaign has some funding, and assorted clothing donations, but no toys, organizer Mike Ford said.

Through Project Care, donors purchase essentials such as pants and shirts, “need” gifts, and finally “wants,” Ford explained.

He estimated donors spend about $50 for each child.

“We’ve not received a single toy yet this year,” Ford said, and time is running short.

Gifts will be distributed Dec. 19.

Help is on the way. Project

Care is the designated local beneficiary of KOAM TV’s Toy Box Campaign, which has a drop box set up at Iola’s Community National Bank.

Ford gets the names of recipients from Iola’s Adopt-AChild program.

“They do all of the screening to ensure families truly are in need,” Ford said, “plus, it prevents somebody from receiving gifts from two charities at once.”

Helpers have three ways to give.

They can purchase clothes or new toys at random, then deliver them to the police department or CNB during business hours; they can stop by the police department to get a specific child’s wish list; or they can simply donate money.

Some have stepped up already.

“Believe and act as if it were impossible to fail.”

— Charles Kettering 75 Cents

“The Iola Senior Citizens, Inc. group has been great for us each year,” Ford said, and recently donated $500.

Another mom came in with her three children, each of whom received $100 to spend on Christmas gifts this year.

“They agreed it would be best for the kids if they spent the money to help others,” Ford said.

That money was used to purchase clothes.

Without a single toy or donation, Ford estimated about $2,500 was necessary to fully fund Project Care this year.

Boys and girls from 3 months to 17 years are in need of help this season, Ford said.

“And we’re not just serving kids in Iola,” Ford said. “We’re helping kids in LaHarpe and Gas, too.”

Delegation looks at farm laws

Delegates and members from Allen County were a part of more than 1,000 who attended Kansas Farm Bureau’s Annual Meeting Dec. 1-2 in Manhattan. Attending from Allen County were, from left, Darrell Monfort, Layne Sterling, Steven Carpenter, Craig Mentzer, Denise Mentzer and Becky Meiwes. More than 380 delegates members wrapped up important business for their farm organization after debating and adopting policy statements for 2015. These policies will now become the road map for the organization during the upcoming legislative session. KANSAS FARM BUREAU PHOTO

Pay raises for state employees still on table TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback isn’t ruling out pay increases for government workers despite projected budget shortfalls.

Brownback said during an interview Wednesday that he wouldn’t say yet that the state’s budget problems will prevent raises for state employees.

He said such decisions usually are made in the spring at the end of the Legislature’s annual 90-day session. He said the state’s budget

picture could improve by then.

The state faces projected budget shortfalls totaling more than $700 million for the current fiscal year and the next fiscal year beginning in July. The shortfalls follow aggressive personal income tax cuts aimed at boosting the economy.

State workers did not get an across-theboard raise in the current budget, but fulltime employees are receiving a $250 bonus this month.

Board looks again at abortion case TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas board is considering whether to reinstate a doctor’s medical license after scrutinizing her referrals of young patients for late-term abortions and finding that she kept inadequate records.

The State Board of Healing Arts is conducting a hearing Thursday morning in the case of Dr. Ann Kristin Neuhaus of Nortonville.

She successfully challenged a 2012 board ruling that she con-

ducted substandard mental health exams in 2003 for 11 patients aged 10 to 18. Her opinions about patients’ mental problems allowed the late Dr. George Tiller’s clinic in Wichita to terminate their pregnancies.

A Shawnee County District Court judge earlier this year overturned the board’s revocation of Neuhaus’ license but agreed that she kept inadequate records. The judge sent her case back to the board.

SEK man charged PITTSBURG, Kan. (AP) — The former director of Pittsburg State’s College of Business is facing federal charges of defrauding Nigerian students recruited to attend the school.

Federal prosecutors said Wednesday that 61-year-old Michael Muoghalu of Pittsuburg faces one count of wire fraud and one count of money laundering.

Muoghalu is accused of taking more than $148,000 in refunds due to the Nigerian students in Pittsburg State’s Masters of Business Administration program.

Prosecutors allege that beginning in 2006 Muoghalu worked with an unknown accomplice in Nigeria to persuade 15

Nigerian students to give him part of the refunds they received on deposits for tuition and fees.

Ruth Elaine Casner, 62, Iola, died at her home Sunday morning, Dec. 7, 2014.

She was born Aug. 31, 1952, in Fort Scott, the daughter of Marion R. and Edith Florence (Enos) Lybarger. She married Keith Arnold Casner Feb. 14, 2014, in Yates Center. He survives of the home.

Ruth worked as a hairstylist for many years, and she was a verified tribal member of the Citizen Band Potawatomi Tribe Indian Nation. Her father, Marion, was a survivor of the World War II P.O.W. camps in Germany.

In addition to her husband, Ruth is survived by her children, Brent Turner of La Crosse, Wis., Brady Dilda of Fort Scott, Ryan Dilda of Vero Beach, Fla., Chris Dilda of Frisco, Texas, and Raef Cameron Lee Casner and Evan Keith Casner, both of Iola; a brother, Gene Lybarger of Fort Scott; four grandchildren, Sadie and Bryanna Turner, Jack Dilda and Cameron Dilda; and an aunt, LaVon Hill. She was preceded in death by her parents, a son, Bryan Turner, and a brother, Allen Lybarger.

The family received friends Tuesday evening at the Konantz-Cheney Funeral Home. Following cremation, Ruth will be interred at the Evergreen Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to Care to Share and left in the care of the Konantz-Cheney Funeral Home, 15 W. Wall Street, P.O. Box 309, Fort Scott, KS 66701.

Corps: U.S. lags in waterway infrastructure

By HEATHER HOLLINGSWORTH The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The nation is falling behind on maintaining its aging levees, dams, ports and harbors and needs to get creative as it seeks ways to pay for the critical projects, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ commander general said Wednesday.

Lt. Gen. Thomas Bostick told reporters that finishing all the projects that have been authorized would cost about $23.5 billion but that that corps’ annual budget for the work usually hovers around $1.5 billion. He said that figure doesn’t include addressing a maintenance backlog as projects — many of them decades old — exceed their design life.

“It is going to take you decades to finish the work and then you are going to have new projects here and there,” Bostick said, speaking during the Society of American Military Engineers conference. “The reality is Congress cannot do this alone. The federal government cannot do this. And the mes-

It is going to take you decades to finish the work and then you are going to have new projects here and there. The reality is Congress cannot do this alone. .... The message to local towns and communities and business is we cannot rely on the federal government to solve this fiscal challenge.

— Lt. Gen. Thomas Bostick, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

sage to local towns and communities and business is we cannot rely on the federal government to solve this fiscal challenge.”

Bostick said the corps is looking at alternative means of financing projects, including through public-private partnerships. The question, he said, is how to “monetize the project in such a way that investors would come in and over a number of years get a return on their investment?”

The corps said that 16 percent of the dams it operates are categorized as extremely or very high risk. Since 2009, delays and interruptions have more than doubled on the nation’s inland waterways’ locks

and dams. There also has been a 50 percent increase in hydropower facility downtime since 2000, the corps said.

Bostick highlighted the findings of the American Society of Civil Engineers, which has given America’s overall infrastructure a D+ grade, its dams a D, its inland waterways a D-, its levees a D- and its ports a C. The group has called for Congress and the Obama administration to come up with a way to pay for infrastructure maintenance and updates to help manage floods.

The ASCE noted in its report that the Association of State Dam Safety

Officials estimates that it will require an investment of $21 billion to repair aging high-hazard dams, while the National Committee on Levee Safety said the cost to repair or rehabilitate levees is estimated at $100 billion.

“I wouldn’t be concerned at this point from a safety perspective. But there are projects, individual projects that are at high risk,” Bostick said.

He noted that extensive flood control work was undertaken after Hurricane Katrina, lessening the effect that Hurricane Isaac had seven years later in 2012.

“The nation will invest in times of crisis but the question is: Can you set priorities when there is not a crisis but one is looming so we can make the right decisions?”

For a peaceful holiday season to you and yours.

Wishing all of you a most Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

noted advisor Vince Coons.

The competition is open to schools of all sizes, from Class 1A through Class 6A. “I thought if there was going to be a year for us to qualify, this was it,” Coons said.

Teams will travel to KTWU’s studios on a Saturday in late January or early February. Winners of each head-to-head matchup will advance to compete in a second game.

Playoffs air on KTWU (channel 11 for Cox Communications subscribers) at 11 a.m.

Sundays and at various times on Cox’s, cable channel 22, throughout the state.

The format is slightly different from typical scholars bowl competitions in that additional follow-up questions are asked, Coons explained.

The competition is sanctioned by the Kansas State High School Activities Association, which means Iola must reschedule competitions in January and February, Coons said.

Students are limited in the number of events in which they can compete.

“But that’s a good problem to have,” he quickly added.

The squad also has had to contend with other schedule conflicts. The qualifying event traditionally falls on the same weekend as district choir and orchestra events, Coons noted.

“A couple of these kids had to make some sacrifices to do this,” he said.

Schoolmates Garrett Prall and Clarie Moran will serve as alternates.

Coons noted Iola’s squad is well-versed in several academic disciplines, making it a tough foe.

One notable exception is TV trivia.

“None of these kids watch a lot of TV,” Coons said with a laugh.

There’s an app for ‘driving while black’ PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Though the developers of the soonto-be released “Driving While Black” smartphone application want motorists to download their product, there is a time when they definitely don’t want users searching for it.

“Do not reach for your phone when you are talking to police,” stressed Melvin Oden-Orr, one of two Portland lawyers creating the app.

Avoiding moves that could make police think you’re reaching for a gun is just one tip included in the app that educates drivers about how to safely deal with police during traffic stops.

Despite its attentiongrabbing name, OdenOrr said the app due for release in late December will provide common sense advice to motorists of all races and outline what civil rights you have during a stop. With the phone hopefully in a hands-free device, the app allows drivers to send an alert to friends and family that they have been pulled over.

There’s also a recording function to document the interaction with an officer.

The app is coming to market as protesters around the country keep attention on instances of deadly encounters with police in Ferguson,

Missouri, and New York City. Similar apps also are aimed at helping people navigate interactions with police.

Three Georgia teenagers created “Five-O,” an app released this summer that lets people rate their interactions with law enforcement. And last month, American Civil Liberties Union affiliates in four states unveiled “Mobile Justice,” an app that allows users to take video of police encounters and upload the video to the ACLU. It’s modeled on “Stop and Frisk Watch,” an app released for New Yorkers in 2012.

“It’s obviously in the forefront of everybody’s mind; the police know they are being recorded and people in public know they can record,” said Sarah Rossi, director of advocacy and policy for the ACLU Missouri affiliate. “I think the benefit of this app (Mobile Justice) specifically is it goes straight to the ACLU and we can review it for any dueprocess violations.”

The apps also include a “Know Your Rights” section that informs people about their rights when contacted by police.

Portland attorney Mariann Hyland got the idea for “Driving While Black” after learning of an app for drivers suspected of drunken

driving. She approached Oden-Orr in April, and the two have been working on the app since summer with software developer James Pritchett.

The term “driving while black,” perhaps unfamiliar to some, is common among AfricanAmericans. A Justice Department report released last year, based on a survey of those stopped by police in 2011, suggests blacks are more likely than whites to be pulled over and have their cars searched.

Moreover, African-Americans are much more likely to believe a traffic stop is not legitimate.

The issue has been on Hyland’s radar since motorist Rodney King was beaten by Los Angeles police in 1991. Another key event hit closer to home. In 2003, a 21-year-

old black woman was fatally shot by Portland police after she jumped from the backseat to the driver’s seat during a traffic stop and tried to drive away.

Oden-Orr hosted a forum after the death, and Hyland attended. Afterward, Hyland promised she would do something to educate black youth on handling traffic stops.

For years, she didn’t keep that promise, and it bothered her.

The app is her attempt at rectifying the situation. Hyland and OdenOrr say the key to surviving a traffic stop is to remain calm, keep your hands on the wheel, be respectful and make no false moves.

It doesn’t sound difficult, but such encounters can be dangerous for police — putting

them on heightened alert — and a driver might find it difficult to relax when convinced the stop is based on skin color.

“They describe a pattern of getting pulled over by the police, and they find it to be very frustrating and sometimes that frustration can lead to anger,” Hyland said. “You have to always be mindful to check the anger.”

The app will include a directory of lawyers for drivers who believe they were wrongfully stopped or searched. The app itself won’t provide legal advice, such as telling users how to beat a traffic ticket.

“It’s about being safe during a traffic stop so that everyone goes home alive,” Oden-Orr said.

‘Birdman’ tops Golden Globes with 7 nominations NEW YORK (AP) — “Birdman” squawked loudest in the Golden Globes nominations, flying away with a leading seven nods including best picture in the comedy or musical category.

In nominations for the 72 annual Golden Globes announced Thursday morning by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, “Boyhood” and “The Imitation Game” trailed with five nods apiece. Those two films led a best drama category that also included “Foxcatcher,” ‘’Selma” and

“The Theory of Everything.”

In the best picture, comedy or musical, category, “Birdman” was joined by “St. Vincent,” ‘’Grand Budapest Hotel,” ‘’Into the Woods” and — in a surprise — the independent British film “Pride.”

Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s “Birdman, or (The Unexpected Virtue or Ignorance),” in which Michael Keaton plays a Hollywood star trying to mount a serious drama on Broadway, earned nods for Keaton and supporting players Edward Nor-

ton and Emma Stone, as well as for its direction, screenplay and score.

Richard Linklater’s long-in-the-making coming-of-age drama “Boyhood,” thus far the critical darling and the perceived front-runner of Hollywood’s awards season, added nominations for Linklater’s direction and script, and supporting actors Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette.

The World War II code breaker drama “The Imitation Game,” starring Benedict Cumberbatch as mathematician Alan

Turing, also went over well with the HFPA. In addition to its best picture nod, the Weinstein Co. release won nods for Cumberbatch as best actor, Keira Knightley for best supporting actress, Graham Moore for best screenplay and Alexandre Desplat for best score.

The other nominees for best actor in a drama were Steve Carell (“Foxcatcher”), David Oyelowo (“Selma”) and Jake Gyllenhaal (“Nightcrawler”) and Eddie Redmayne (“The Theory of Everything”).

“I’ve been a bit frantic,” said Redmayne, who plays Stephen Hawking in the film, on the phone from London. “I’m trying to finish all my Christmas shopping in a day, and now I got this phone call. I’m about to have a few mulled wines to celebrate.”

Most of the awards season favorites were rewarded with decent showings Thursday, though some hopefuls failed to break through. Most notably, Angelina Jolie’s World War II drama “Unbroken” yielded no nominations at all.

Governor’s cuts leave nothing to chance; zero balance is goal We knew the hurt would be bad. That everyone would feel the pinch. But perhaps not to the extent that some programs — including the state’s pension fund — are put in peril.

Such will be the effect from Gov. Sam Brownback’s proposed cuts in an effort to patch up a $280 million hole in the state budget — and that’s to get us just to July.

The Kansas Employers Retirement System will be in a world of hurt if legislators OK the governor’s proposal. KPERS provides retirement benefits to the state’s 289,000 members and retirees that include teachers, firefighters, police and other municipal and government workers. Brownback proposes to scale back the state’s contribution to KPERS from 12.5 percent to 9.5 percent to save about $40.7 million.

That’s a real slap in the face to the legislators who worked so hard to get the pension system back on track in the 2012 session.

With increased contributions by both the state and its beneficiaries, the pension program was due to be solvent by 2033.

Today, the program is $7.35 billion — yes, billion — short to fulfill the pledges due to current retirees. Counting those still to come, the program has $9.77 billion in unfunded liabilities.

STATE departments will face across-the-board cuts of 4 percent under Brownback’s plan. Among others, the Kansas Department of Transportation will be cut by $95 million, the Kansas Highway Patrol by $1.1 million, the Department of Children and Family Services (SRS) by $3.9 million, and the state’s contribution to the future National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility in Manhattan by $5 million.

The latter is significant, because to locate the $1.25 billion research and education facility to our state, Kansas has to pledge some skin in the game.

The state is behind $700 million in expected revenues. It has $380 million in the bank. The new cuts to programs and services are to make up the difference.

Put together, that gets us to a zero balance.

What a house of cards.

A�look�back�in�time � 20 Years Ago Week of Dec. 7, 1994

Tillie G. Haney died Saturday, Dec. 8. She along with her late husband, Martin O. Haney, managed the Iola Skating Rink for 25 years. ***** City employees will receive a 6.5 percent pay raise in January. The raise does not require a tax increase. In other actions the city commissioners approved the

sale of Iola Cable TV from Tele-Communications, Inc. to Communication Services Inc., signed ordinances annexing the north and south portions of the Pees property, and annexed Highway 54 between the Missouri Pacific Railroad and the eastern boundary of Crawford and Storrer Implement Company. Land just north and south of the highway was already in the city limits.

Kansas earthquakes a new reality The earthquakes that had been a fun curiosity turned serious for many at precisely 3:40 p.m. Nov. 12, when a magnitude-4.8 quake centered near Conway Springs gave the Wichita area a major shaking.

And that was only one of more than 150 earthquakes in Oklahoma and southern Kansas over the past month, including a magnitude-3.0 quake near Conway Springs early last Tuesday morning.

So Gov. Sam Brownback’s appropriate initial responses to this unsettling phenomenon, including a task force and better monitoring, should lead to more attention and perhaps action at the Statehouse but also regionally.

Though damage on Nov. 12 was limited to tiny Milan in Sumner County, that 10- to 20-second quake made it possible to imagine bigger ones — if not “the big one” — and realize how ill-prepared southcentral Kansas is for such a natural disaster.

Kansans are used to tornadoes, floods and snow and ice storms. But an earthquake that chews up roads and other infrastructure while toppling buildings and triggering explosions and fires? That would be a new and scary emergency situation for Kansas, which averaged just five small quakes

Aggressive policing at root of protests A perfect storm is swirling around the issue of aggressive law enforcement, especially when it comes to black Americans, amid the coincidental timing of at least three stories about police officers killing black suspects, which have sparked much protest and debate.

First was Ferguson, Missouri, where a grand jury declined to issue an indictment against the white police officer who shot and killed an unarmed 18-year-old black man in the street. Then last Wednesday, a New York City grand jury did the same in the case of a white police officer who applied a lethal chokehold to an unarmed 43-yearold black man.

Meanwhile, in Cleveland, police are under scrutiny for an officer who fatally shot a 12-year-old black child who was holding a toy pellet gun.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder on Thursday said a Justice Department civil rights investigation had found “unreasonable and unnecessary use of force” by the city’s police department.

Ferguson seemed a tough call. The grand jury there faced many conflicting accounts from witnesses about the shooting of Michael Brown. In New York City, however, the takedown and aggressive treatment of Eric

Garner all was captured on video.

WE WANT to trust that our judicial system works. But a grand jury doesn’t need to decide guilt or innocence, just whether prosecutors have enough evidence to file charges and go to trial. And when an incident is on video, it’s there for all of us to judge.

Garner’s death was ruled a homicide resulting from the chokehold — a maneuver

equally under the law, that is a problem,” he said, “and it’s my job as president to help solve it.”

Clearly this is a conversation America needs to have — conversation being the operative word; no injustice calls for looting and vandalism.

This isn’t just about race but aggressive policing.

That’s not an easy conversation, because law enforcement isn’t an easy job, to say the least. Law enforcement

banned by the police department 20 years ago — and the compression of his chest by police officers. Video also shows an officer holding his head to the pavement. All because he was selling cigarettes on the street.

President Obama said the decisions in New York and Missouri brought to the fore the frustrations that many black Americans have about a legal system that has a long history of discrimination against blacks.

“When anybody in this country is not being treated

officers by and large deserve our gratitude and respect.

But at the same time, cops who cross the boundaries shouldn’t get a free pass. The NYC police officer should be fired. He’s using a police technique that isn’t allowed, and it killed an unarmed person.

All that said, we as a society must confront racial profiling and not deny that it happens.

We need to identify the reasons for it and strive to find solutions. It isn’t as simple as labeling white police officers as racists.

annually in the 35 years leading up to 2013.

Brownback recently announced that $85,000 would be spent on six Kansas Geological Survey seismic monitoring stations in Harper, Sumner and Barber counties to be operational early next year.

As he said, the portable units should further research on the size and nature of the quakes and enable more planning.

into disposal wells might be a factor.

If the research is inconclusive, public opinion on the quakes isn’t holding back. “We all know good and well what is causing them. Let’s face the facts about the fracking process,” concluded one contributor to The Eagle’s Opinion Line.

But state or local leaders are unlikely to do anything to curb a practice that has been

Kansans are used to tornadoes, floods and snow and ice storms. But an earthquake that chews up roads and other infrastructure while toppling buildings and triggering explosions and fires?

The Kansas Seismic Action Plan released Sept. 1 by his task force also called for a permanent monitoring network, which would cost $200,000 to install and $80,000 to operate annually — something that seems like an essential investment after Nov. 12.

Though the task force reported it had found no evidence that quakes were the result of fracking — the use of high-pressure fluids to fracture underground rock and free trapped oil and gas — it allowed for the possibility that the injection of waste fluids

a boon to a $4.3 billion Kansas industry employing 118,000, nor should they without more evidence.

Meanwhile, though, southcentral Kansans should start making allowances for this new seismic activity. There could be new costs, such as for earthquake insurance and sturdier structural design.

Emergency response systems need to adapt, too.

Though not welcome, earthquakes appear to be part of the new reality in south-central Kansas.

Feigning ignorance is poor leadership Brownback says he had no idea of Kansas’ financial problems We’ve spilled quite a bit of ink over the wisdom of Gov. Brownback’s income tax cuts, which have left the state with a predicted $715 million budget shortfall between this year and fiscal 2016.

However, the one thing we’ve never accused the governor of is being ignorant.

While we assume that he didn’t believe that cutting income taxes would take the state into a ditch — because no one would purposely wreck the budget — we also assume that he’s stayed on top of the numbers, dismal though they may be.

Brownback says we’re wrong. He says he is ignorant. He said he learned of the depth of the state’s financial problems only after the latest revenue numbers came out, shortly after the Nov. 4 election.

He might not have known the exact numbers, but surely he had to have an idea that trouble was coming. Others have been sounding the alarm for months.

Nope. Never saw it coming, Brownback says.

During his re-election

campaign, Brownback dismissed the predictions of revenue shortfalls.

“They’re just trying to paint a ‘Chicken Little sky is falling’ situation, which is not true. It’s a bunch of lies,” the governor said in October.

According to a story in the Wichita Eagle, Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka, who serves on the state Finance Council, said he doesn’t believe Brownback.

“They would have had to have known. (The Department of) Revenue was given the red flag over the past year, basically,” Hensley said.

Brownback now says that “everything” is on the table when it comes to state finances, and that includes not implementing the additional tax cuts scheduled to take effect.

Brownback can’t have it both ways. He either chose to remain ignorant of the state’s financial situation or he’s giving us “a bunch of lies.”

Take your pick — deliberately ignorant or liar — but neither option is a quality desirable in a governor.

Employees: Iola companies search for quality workers Continued from A1

time of year, not for Christmas candy, rather for following holidays, such as Valentine’s Day and Easter.

“We’re always one holiday ahead,” Weick explained to Iola and Allen County officials during a plant tour last month.

Because of the high demand, employees must work extended overtime sessions, which leads to the high turnover rate.

Getting 20 additional employees would alleviate some of that demand pressure, Weick said, but not all.

The plant has increased the volume of production annually the past five years, Weick said, and looks to do even more with the acquisition of RSC

by Lindt, a Switzerlandbased candy maker.

“With our new owner,

Lindt, we expect the labor force to continue to grow or (at least) remain the same,” Weick said.

“With Lindt taking over, there are numerous positive outcomes for RSC and the Iola factory.

“We want to be recognized as a company that cares for the environment and the communities we live and work in,” he continued. “Environmental concerns play an ever-increasing role in our decision-making process. We respect and feel responsible for the needs of the communities in which we live.”

With employees ranging in age from 18 to their 70s, Russell Stover offers a wage structure “that’s competitive in Allen County,” Weick said, and includes such benefits as health insurance and 401(k) retirement accounts.

There are challenges.

Weick said employ-

ees have told him about their difficulties in finding better housing, forcing some to commute to Iola.

But he disagreed with the notion that it’s become harder to find employees with a solid work ethic.

“We have continued to hire outstanding people of all demographics,” he said. “We have a very strong base of very productive team members, who have been here a long time. We really appreciate their great efforts.”

Weick estimated roughly half of RSC’s employees have been with the company for five years; half of those 10 years or longer. Several have been with the company since its doors opened in 1997.

PRASKO said the challenge at Advantage is finding employees

with the proper aptitude to deal with rapidly changing technology.

“Our industry changes, with technology, every six months,” he said. “We kind of need a refresh every three to six months on what we have to learn, sometimes even quicker than that with viruses. You’re learning it as it’s hitting the industry, and you’re trying to figure out how to stop it. The aptitude for this challenge is a big hurdle.”

As such, Prasko looks for different qualities than other employers might.

“You don’t just hire anybody,” he said. “You need to find somebody who’s technology-minded, who loves to learn.

There are so many things that come into play working for Advantage Computers and Jayhawk Software.”

Prasko estimates it

takes a year or longer to properly train and equip an Advantage employee, much longer than it takes others.

“College degrees are a starting point, but they’re not a must,” he added. “Our employees are an investment for the next five or 10 years. We’re not making hoses. We’re a servicebased company. Fixing technology is what we do. The knowledge to do that on a moving target is a challenge.

“We have guys with advanced college degrees, and those who don’t have any degrees at all,” he continued.

“Both are exceptional employees and I’d fight you for every one of them.”

PRASKO has visited with Allen Community College officials about providing students with technology-based train-

ing.

“Christy Cutshaw (Allen’s computer science instructor) approached us about sitting on the college’s review board to see if what she’s teaching is something we can use.”

Prasko jumped at the chance.

“I’m thinking, is this community missing the boat on technology,” he said. “Why can’t I pull a kid right out of Allen Community College and put him to work. If we could shorten a year of training, if I could get that into six months, wouldn’t that be amazing?

“I’m not trying to reinvent DeVry, but I see what they’re doing over in Fort Scott (with its Harley Davidson and John Deere technical training programs) and I’m thinking, why hasn’t somebody embraced that in the tech world?”

turer in Iola. A dozen alternative students and one student from the high school will train and intern at Precision next semester.

Randy Misenhelter, director of operations at Precision, is helping form the internship requirements with Crossroads director Tim Seibel. Crossroads is an alternative learning facility for USD 257 students at risk of missing graduation.

At Precision the students will train at the plant, while learning other essentials, such as how to write a resume, complete a job application or perform in job interviews.

This eight-week course will begin next semester; students also will earn high school credit.

“Precision will help evaluate the students for their grade,” Fager said.

“They will be on-site for multiple block periods.”

Fager hopes this internship at Precision will spark interest with other Iola industries for opportunities.

EDUCATION outreach

doesn’t end at the high school.

Jon Marshall, vice president of academic affairs at ACC, said the college offers work force training at Monarch Cement in Humboldt. A college instructor goes to Monarch and teaches employees comp u t e r Jon Marshall software programs utilized by the company. A similar training session is planned next semester at Catalyst in Iola.

“This training is very successful,” Marshall said. “We do training like this in Osage and Shawnee counties, too.”

Marshall said more students are not sticking to the traditional path of going from high school to college.

More and more are “college hopping” in search of schools that offer specific programs.

“It has become more of a gathering of credits and it is almost like a patchwork of schools,” he said. “We’re noticing

not everyone is going to have one career in their lives.”

THE PRECISION internship isn’t the first time Iola High has attempted prepping students for workforce training.

In the failed campaign for a $50 million bond issue this fall to build new schools, USD 257 personnel suggested a new form of learning for IHS students.

Had it succeeded, the bond issue would have altered classes at the Bowlus Fine Arts Center, with new programs geared toward technology.

This part of 21st century teaching and learning blends specific skills, content knowledge and expertise.

Students would have been able to have hands-on learning in stage production, graphic design, video production and audio production.

“In these classes students would have handson applications and we would have generated certificates for them,” Fager said. “These classes would give the students an opportunity to earn higher pay and get jobs while attending college.”

A similar program exists in nursing. Students who have earned certified nurse’s aide status, can get better-paying jobs while still in college.

While the bond issue failed, there have been murmurs that job skills training should remain on the front burner. The main hurdle remains funding.

FAGER SAID education leaders are starting to rethink how education is delivered in schools as students decide to go straight into the workforce instead of the university route. In fact, many programs have been around for years.

Iola’s now-defunct building trades program gave students hands-on learning and real world skills. When former instructor Larry Wittmer retired, the school board had to re-evaluate funds because of needs elsewhere.

Because of a dire need to offer health classes at both the middle school and high school, USD 257 school board members

eschewed hiring another building trades instructor, favoring instead hiring a health teacher.

Twenty to 30 students particip a t e d each in the building and t r a d e s Stacey Fager program.

During two-hour blocks students would help build a home which was then put on the market.

“There is a need for such housing,” Fager said. “The question was how do we find the finances to continue it.

The goal of the district wasn’t to make a profit; it was for the knowledge gained.”

Cody Hager, wood technology teacher, teaches one block of building and trades to students but on a much

education, criminal justice studies, agriculture and nurse’s aide.

More people are trying to push community colleges to turn into technical institutes instead of transfer facilities to higher education such as universities and colleges, Marshall said.

“Our argument for that is we’re also prepping students for the work force,” Marshall said.

When Marshall first came to Allen, 17 percent of students were career and tech ed and 83 percent were liberal arts.

Now there are 25 percent tech ed students and 75 percent liberal arts.

“We followed the state lead on offering to prep people for the work force,” Marshall said. “We always want our students to have the highest quality education and prepare for uni-

Thre is a need for such housing. The question was how do we find the finances to continue it. The goal of the district wasn’t to make a profit; it was for the knowledge gained.

smaller scale.

Other courses at the high school, such as business, teach students leadership skills. Tina Stanley’s class helps with workplace training. Her students help develop web pages, business cards and greeting cards. Charlie Kerr’s agriculture courses teach students leadership, job interviews and Robert’s Rules of Order.

Iola High School has a close partnership with Allen Community College through dual credit courses. Carol Larson, IHS guidance counselor, said about 50 students participate.

ACC WORKS with 44 high schools within the state. There are six students at Marmaton Valley High School who take classes at Allen, and 89 from Humboldt.

Marshall said ACC tends to think of classes in two ways: general education and career and technical. Allen offers multiple career and tech courses such as early childhood

versity.”

Marshall said students who transfer to universities tend to have a higher grade point average than those who start out at four-year schools for their freshman year.

Technical education is available to high school juniors and seniors, too.

Through Senate Bill 155, the state pays to cover the cost of tuition, fees and book rental for qualified high-schoolers enrolled in technical classes. This helps students get a jump-start on developing skills and knowledge for a variety of career fields.

Just because a college wants to add a new technical program to their schedule does not mean it will happen. Career and tech ed courses need approval by the Kansas Board of Regents.

“We can’t apply with a perception of a need for the course,” Marshall said. “Employers have to show commitment to hire these students if a program existed.”

CIA fights Dems over torture report WASHINGTON (AP) — The CIA and several of its past leaders are stepping up a campaign to discredit a five-year Senate investigation into the CIA’s harrowing interrogation practices after 9/11, concerned that the historical record may define them as torturers instead of patriots and expose them to legal action around the world.

The Senate intelligence committee’s report doesn’t urge prosecution for wrongdoing, and the Justice Department has no interest in reopening a criminal probe. But the threat to former interrogators and their superiors was underlined as a U.N. special investigator demanded those responsible for “systematic crimes” be brought to justice, and human rights groups pushed for the arrest of key CIA and Bush administration figures if they travel overseas.

CIA officials pushed back Wednesday, determined to paint the Senate report as a political stunt

by Senate Democrats tarnishing a program that saved American lives.

It is a “one-sided study marred by errors of fact and interpretation — essentially a poorly done and partisan attack on the agency that has done the most to protect America,” former CIA directors George Tenet, Porter Goss and Michael Hayden wrote in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece.

Hayden was singled out by Senate investigators for what they said was a string of misleading or outright false statements he gave in 2007 about the impor-

tance of the CIA’s brutal treatment of detainees in thwarting terrorist attacks. He described the focus on him as “ironic on so many levels” as any wrongdoing predated his arrival at the CIA. The intelligence committee’s 500-page release concluded that the CIA inflicted suffering on alQaida prisoners beyond its legal authority and that none of the agency’s “enhanced interrogations” provided critical, life-saving intelligence.

The CIA is now in the uncomfortable position of defending itself publicly, given its basic mission to protect the country secretly. Its 136-page rebuttal suggests Senate Democrats searched through millions of documents to pull out only the evidence backing up predetermined conclusions.

Challenging one of the report’s most explosive arguments — that harsh interrogation techniques didn’t lead to Osama bin Laden — the CIA pointed to questioning of Ammar al-Baluchi, who revealed how an al-Qaida operative relayed messages to and from bin Laden after he departed Afghanistan.

Before then, the CIA said, it only knew that courier Abu Ahmad al-Kuwaiti interacted with bin Laden in 2001, when the al-Qaida leader was accessible to many of his followers.

Poring over the same body of evidence as the investigators, the CIA insisted most of the 20 case studies cited in the Senate report actually illustrated how enhanced interrogations helped disrupt plots, capture terrorists and prevent another 9/11-type

attack. The agency said it obtained legal authority for its actions from the Justice Department and White House, and made “good faith” efforts to keep congressional leaders informed.

The Intelligence Committee’s Republicans issued their own 167-page “minority” report and said the Democratic analysis was flawed, dishonest and, at $40 million, a waste of taxpayer money.

agency and its Republican supporters said those failings were corrected.

President George W. Bush approved the program through a covert finding in 2002 but wasn’t briefed by the CIA on the details until 2006, the Senate report said.

Obama banned harsh interrogation tactics upon taking office, calling it “torture.” But he has shown little interest in holding accountable anyone involved, a sore point among human rights groups and his supporters on the left.

Iolan Paul Sinclair finds success as horse owner

By SPENCER MICHELSON The Iola Register

Long before Iolan Paul Sinclair owned his plumbing business, Paul Sinclair Plumbing & Heating, he rode horses.

Not the way cowboys do, but as a jockey.

Sinclair, 68, began riding for a profession almost by accident.

He explains.

Before a football field was built at Iola’s Riverside Park, there stood a horse track.

When Sinclair was 11, his sister told him an owner, J.D. Rowe, needed a small, light rider.

“I went down there and talked to that guy, telling him I’d ride the horse,” Sinclair said.

The race was a mile-long derby. Because the track was only a half-mile long, each race went two laps.

“I won that race,” he said, “the first I’d ever been in.”

Rowe liked the way young Sinclair rode.

“After that, every summer he wanted me to come up to his place in Memphis, Mo.,” Sinclair said. “Then we’d go on the circuit. He’d run in Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa and Kansas.”

That lasted for about five years.

But as Sinclair aged — and naturally grew taller and heavier — he knew his days as a jockey were numbered.

Then came familial commitments. Sinclair graduated from high school and got married to wife Roberta. The Sinclairs had two children, son Bob and daughter Paula.

WHILE HIS winning days are over as a rider, Sinclair’s affiliation with the sport is not.

He still enjoys success as an owner. He bought his first horse when he was still riding, which he competed with for a couple years.

He has since bought and owned horses for nearly 60 years. Sinclair has owned nearly 60 thoroughbreds over that span. The most he owned at one time was six.

Currently, Sinclair owns one horse named Chifforobe, which he bought in May. “I saw this horse entered down at Dallas, Texas,” Sinclair said. “This was his first race he had ever run, it's called a maiden race. So, I claimed him. He was in for $7,500. I

took the money down.”

According to Sinclair, when a person claims a horse, he has to have the cash or a cashier’s check to give at the time.

It turned out to be a good investment because the horse won.

Since the race, Chifforobe has won six times under Sinclair’s ownership. This past October, Sinclair’s horse won the Oklahoma Classics Sprint.

The purse was $130,000 — the largest winnings of Sinclair’s career.

“It’s not all profit by no means,” Sinclair said; 10 percent of the winnings went to the jockey, 10 percent went to the trainer and 20 percent went to other people or fees.

“I'd say, you probably break even or can lose a little bit,” Sinclair said. “But, some years are better than others.

They can't all be really good, unless you've got a lot of horses. I don't carry a lot of horses anymore, this is the only one

Paul Sinclair poses next to a few of the trophy’s that he has won as an owner. Sinclair has been involved in horse races for nearly 60 years now. REGISTER/SPENCER MICHELSON I've got running right now.”

PHOTOS AND trophies from Chifforobe’s and past horses’ success line the walls of Sinclair’s family room.

Plumbing — his full-time career of 43 years — has always been his top priority.

It just so happened that his passion, horse racing, is a close second.

Sinclair said Chifforobe is in Oklahoma City this week. He

will race in Houston shortly.

Sinclair used to send his horse around the country to St. Louis or Chicago. Now he keeps them in the Midwest, closer to home.

“I enjoyed riding more, of course, but the weight took over and I couldn't ride anymore,” Sinclair said. “But, it's been really fun as an owner over the years. A lot of people will go hunting or fishing.

This has been my passion.”

All-State football selections made Local athletes earned AllState status for high school football by multiple organizations this past week.

Humboldt’s Jacob Carpenter highlights the list of local talent as a Kansas Football Coaches Association 3A All-State Team selection for linebacker. He also earned honorable mention as a

linebacker from the Topeka Capital Journal and Wichita Eagle.

Iola’s Ethan Sigg and Kaden Macha earned honorable mention accolades for Class 4A-II All-State from the Topeka newspaper. Macha made the team as a linebacker and Sigg as an offensive lineman.

Running back Walker

Harred and defensive back Josiah Witteman from Southern Coffey County earned honorable mention selections for 8-man II from the Capital Journal and Wichita Eagle.

Justin Rossillon of Yates Center earned a Class 2-1A honorable mention spot for his play on the offensive line from the Capital Journal.

KU tops Georgetown 75-70

By JOSEPH WHITE AP Sports Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) — The play was a new one, called “Ear,” and there’s not much to hear about it because it broke down quickly.

So, instead, Kansas did what had been working already. Landen Lucas set a screen, and Brannen Greene hit the shot that made him 5 for 5 from 3-point range, a

“It wasn’t even part of the play,” Greene said. “And I found myself wide open, took my time and knocked it down. I loved that 3, honestly.

It was a big 3 for me.”

Greene scored 16 of his career-high 19 points in the second half, including a pair See KU | Page B6

OF ‘STATE OF AFFAIRS’ ON NBC What sort of research have you done for your CIA-analyst role in “State of Affairs”?

There was a lot of getting to just talk to Rodney (Faraon, an executive producer of the series) and hear all these incredible stories about his experience as a (presidential) briefer, and having him on set so that when the team and I were doing these scenes and kind of trying to set it up as realistically as possible, we could turn to Rodney and say, “How would they handle this particular situation? Would they be just chilling in the offices like this, first thing in the morning, singing and hanging out and decompressing?” We get to have a real, live ex-briefer tell us “yea” or “nay” – which has been fantastic.

What’s the appeal for you in working on both sides of the camera with this show?

I have the opportunity to not only perform in it but executive-produce it ... and I’m not sure why I feel this way, but acting and performing has always felt a bit more like kid’s play to me, because it’s something I’ve always loved. I love the opportunity to tell stories and be imaginative, and the executive-producing angle of it feels more like a grown-up job.

You seemed to step back from your career for a while. What was the reason for that?

The Iola Register

Spots on my face, ringing in my ears Dear Dr. Roach: A few years ago, despite regular use of sunscreen, I noticed a couple of small, dark patches on my face.

I began using a product that contained 2 percent hydroquinone, which the package says is a “targeted skin lightener.” The problem is, those dark patches haven’t changed at all, except that they are a lot bigger. My questions are: Is this product really effective at doing what it says it does? Would my skin discoloration be even worse if I hadn’t used it? Does the product perhaps make the problem worse? Finally, what is your recommendation for treating skin discolorations? — N.C. Answer: Hydroquinone inhibits an enzyme necessary for making melanin, so if the darkening of the skin on your face is due to melanin (and most are), then hydroquinone ought to work. If it’s not, it’s pos-

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health sible that of the more than 50 conditions that can cause dark coloration of the skin listed in my textbook, you have one of the conditions not due to melanin production.

However, it’s also possible that the 2 percent strength of hydroquinone isn’t strong enough for you. Concentrations over 2 percent (up to 4 percent) are available only by prescription. Also, sunlight can reverse the effect of hydroquinone, so you need to stay out of the sun. I’d recommend both sun-protective clothing AND a sunscreen of level 35 or higher. Not only will sunlight reverse the lightening effect, but your skin is more sensitive to the harmful and potentially

cancer-causing effects of the sun after using hydroquinone.

Hydroquinone can be very irritating to some people. A rare complication is ochronosis, a blue-black discoloration of the skin. The safety of hydroquinone is argued: It has been banned in Europe, although ochronosis happens primarily in Africa, where large portions of the body often are treated and the purity of the product is, at best, questionable.

As far as my recommendation goes, think twice before lightening the skin at all, and consider other options, including covering makeup or laser surgery. If you decide to continue hydroquinone, I would first visit a dermatologist to diagnose the type of dark coloration, give you your personal options and then use prescriptiongrade hydroquinone, if appropriate.

Dear Dr. Roach: I had tinnitus. I read a lot and found a research study at the Mayo Clinic that tests the effectiveness of magnesium 500 mg daily for moderate to severe tinnitus.

I took a 500-mg tablet of magnesium (over the counter) and got relief fairly rapidly from the tinnitus. I stayed on the magnesium for about a year. Occasionally, it returned, and I went back on that supplement.

— Anon.

Answer: I think there has been enough published on the possible effectiveness and safety of magnesium supplementation that it is reasonable to give it a try.

Magnesium deficiency is common, especially in people taking diuretics (“water pills”) for high blood pressure. The major side effect of magnesium supplementation is diarrhea, which is unlikely at a low dose.

Avoiding tedious family cross-examinations I’m a grad student who’s perilously close to finishing my degree. I’m at an insanely stressful period in my life and at this point I am so [erfing] sick of talking about anything related to grad school.

Problem is, this is how my family relates to me and it’s pretty much all my parents ask about when we talk on the phone. I know I’m going to get all kinds of ques-

Tell Me About It Carolyn Hax

tions about it when I go to visit family next week (“How’s your dissertation going? Where are you applying for jobs? Have you gotten interviews yet?

When are you going to a

conference next? How’s teaching? What other research projects are you working on?”), and I’m already dreading having to answer these questions over and over.

How do I make it clear that this subject is off limits, politely shut down the conversation if it goes in that direction, and retrain family members to talk to me about nonschool things?

Answer: “You’re kind

to ask, and here’s my answer: I’m at a point where I need to talk about anything BUT grad school.

Tell me about you. Tell me a bad joke. Tell me dirt on people I don’t even know.”

By the end of your visit, you’ll have it down to three words and a hand signal. If you’d like to predeliver this message via friendly in-family messenger, that might save you some explaining.

Owners approve personal conduct policy

By SCHUYLER DIXON AP Sports Writer

IRVING, Texas (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; NFL owners moved quickly and unanimously Wednesday to change the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal conduct policy. Now the question is how, or whether, the playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; union responds.

The league announced it will hire a special counsel for investigations and conduct to oversee initial discipline, but Commissioner Roger Goodell will retain authority to rule on appeals. The commissioner also may appoint a panel of independent experts to participate in appeals.

Amid questions over his handling of domestic violence cases involving Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson, the union wants Goodell removed entirely from the disciplinary process. The players believe any changes to the personal conduct policy should be part of labor negotiations.

Asked whether he anticipated a challenge from the union, Goodell deferred to NFL general

counsel Jeff Pash, who said the ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; decision was â&#x20AC;&#x153;entirely consistent with the collective bargaining agreement.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know whether the union will challenge it or not, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve given it a lot of thought,â&#x20AC;?

Pash said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I would hope they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t challenge. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be happy to sit down with them again tomorrow if they wanted to have some further conversations about it.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s any need for legal challenges.â&#x20AC;?

The union has sought negotiations with the NFL on any revamping of the policy, and said Tuesday it would â&#x20AC;&#x153;reserve the right to take any and all actionsâ&#x20AC;? should the owners act unilaterally. The union could consider the vote by owners a violation of the collective bargaining agreement reached in 2011, giving the union cause to file a grievance.

Among the unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s options is pursuing an unfair labor practice charge with the National Labor Relations Board.

The players could argue this policy is a change

Our union has not been offered the professional courtesy of seeing the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new personal conduct policy before it hit the presses. Their unilateral decision and conduct today is the only thing that has been consistent over the past few months. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; NFL playerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s union

in terms and conditions of employment; the National Labor Relations Act says such changes in unionized situations are subject to collective bargaining. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our union has not been offered the professional courtesy of seeing the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new personal conduct policy before it hit the presses,â&#x20AC;? the union said in a statement issued after Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their unilateral decision and conduct today is the only thing that has been consistent over the past few months.â&#x20AC;?

Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman reiterated criticisms from other players Wednesday that the NFL was â&#x20AC;&#x153;making things up as they go alongâ&#x20AC;? by not pursuing policy changes through

KU: Jayhawks continue to win, up to six in a row Continued from B1

of free throws in the final minute as the Jayhawks (7-1) won their sixth in a row. â&#x20AC;&#x153;According to him, if I let him play he could do it almost every night,â&#x20AC;?

Kansas coach Bill Self said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But he seems like heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been focused of late.â&#x20AC;?

Joshua Smith scored 20 points to lead the Hoyas (5-3), whose other losses came against No. 4 Wisconsin and No. 15 Butler.

Before the Jayhawks made their basketball statement with a win over a top team in the Big East, the Hoyasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; players made a bold statement of their own. Georgetownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entire roster emerged for warmups wearing black, short-sleeve Tshirts with the words â&#x20AC;&#x153;I CANâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T BREATHEâ&#x20AC;? in white.

The players kept the T-shirts on during the national anthem and pregame handshakes.

They became the latest notable athletes to display the message on warmups or other equipment in recent days, echoing the last words spoken by Eric Garner as police were attempting to arrest him in New York in July. A grand

jury decided last week not to indict the officers involved in his death, spurring protests across the country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wear the shirts to say that the cops were wrong or the system was wrong,â&#x20AC;?

Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just wore the shirts just to show our condolences to the family because no matter how you look at it, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know who was right or wrong, but they still lost somebody.

And they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get that person back.â&#x20AC;?

Georgetownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Vauntes Smith-Rivera 3 for 15.

BIG CALL

With 18 seconds to play, after Georgetownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Isaac Copeland missed a 3-point attempt that would have cut the lead to one, the ball went out of bounds â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and none of the three officials ruled whose possession it was.

They still couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell after looking at the replay, so they called it a jump ball, a crucial decision because it gave Kansas the ball on the alternating possession rule.

Key players for both teams â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Greene and Georgetownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mikael Hopkins â&#x20AC;&#x201D; had four fouls by midway through the second half.

collective bargaining. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You would think, you would hope anything having to do with the players and especially discipline and things like that players would have some say so in the policy,â&#x20AC;? Sherman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At least something we could agree on, everybody is comfortable with, but obviously that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t what they saw fit.â&#x20AC;?

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;aware of a lot of the things that the union is an advocate of.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;This differs in some respects,â&#x20AC;? Jones said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the end of the day, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all trying to do the same thing. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to influence and diminish domestic violence.â&#x20AC;?

After the Rice and Peterson cases, a more ex-

tensive list of prohibited conduct will be included in the policy, as well as specific criteria for paid leave for anyone charged with a violent crime.

A suspension of six games without pay for violations involving assault, sexual assault, battery, domestic violence, child abuse and other forms of family violence will be in effect, but with consideration given to mitigating or aggravating circumstances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The policy is comprehensive. It is strong. It is tough. And it better for everyone associated with the NFL,â&#x20AC;? Goodell said.

That new policy will include a conduct committee made up of several team owners and a pair of former players who are now part of ownership groups â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Warrick Dunn (Atlanta) and John Stallworth (Pittsburgh).

Chaired by Arizona Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill, the committee will review the personal conduct policy at least annually and recommend appropriate changes. The group will seek advice from outside experts, the NFL said.
