KS officials defend sale of pension bonds TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas sold $1 billion in bonds Wednesday in an effort to bolster the financial health of its pension system for teachers and government workers, a day after a major rating agency said the move will “do little” to help while increasing the state’s financial risks.

State officials expect the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System to earn more from investing the funds raised from the bonds than they will pay investors over the 30-year life of the debt, making it easier to close a long-term funding gap facing the system. Supporters compare the move to paying off high-interest credit card debt with a lower-interest loan.

Pilot of drug-laden plane pleads guilty WICHITA — A Denver man pleaded guilty to flying an airplane loaded with marijuana into Allen County Airport, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom announced.

Kenneth E. Weaver, 59, Denver, pleaded guilty to one count of possession with intent to distribute marijuana.

In his plea, he admitted that on July 11, 2014, he flew his plane into the airport southeast of Iola, loaded with 207 pounds of medical grade marijuana.

The Drug Enforcement Administration administratively forfeited his plane — a 1979 Israel Aircraft Industries Model 1124 jet — and $457,580 in cash. Sentencing will be Oct. 5, recommended for 12 months by Grissom and the DEA. Grissom commended the Allen and Wilson counties sheriffs’ departments and Kansas Highway Patrol for their work on the case.

On July 11, 2014, Allen County Sheriff Bryan Murphy responded to a tip from the DEA and Highway Patrol that a plane might have landed at the local airport. The jet was taking on fuel when officers arrived.

“The jet was scheduled to

COURTESY/ACSD land at Burlington, where DEA and KHP officers were waiting, but then was lost when it flew under radar and landed here,” Murphy said.

The plane’s tail number verified it was the suspected craft carrying what turned

out to be many large parcels of marijuana.

Murphy and Deputy Anthony Maness checked the pilot’s identification, and found he lacked a pilot’s license or medical card. A check with the Federal Aviation Ad-

ministration confirmed he could not legally fly without a license, which gave local officers reason to keep the airplane grounded.

Car wash a real deal for kids

By BOB JOHNSON The Iola Register

The upcoming carnival for Farm-City Days, Oct. 15-18, is always a big draw for local kids, especially, but can be a hit to a family’s pocketbook.

This year all-day passes to the carnival are $25 a pop.

So Aaron Franklin, chairman of the F-C Days Committee, has come up with an idea for kids to earn the coveted wristbands that gain admission.

A car wash.

From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at Sonic Drive-In kids will wash cars. Those participating will be required to devote two hours of scrubbing and polishing to earn the wristbands.

Making the fundraising plan more workable is that

Franklin was able to negotiate the price down to $15 if wristbands are purchased by Sept. 1.

Franklin said the cost of the carnival is out of the price range of many area families.

It “puts them out of the market. Reality is we have about 68 percent of students who qualify for free or reducedprice meals (at school),” he said. “The two things most important to kids at Farm-

City Days is the parade, where they get candy, and the carnival,” Franklin noted.

Any youngster, regardless of circumstances, who wants to earn a wristband is welcome to help with the fund-raiser. About 50 already are signed up. “And we want to know anyone else who is going to be there ahead of time.” Call Franklin at 620228-2745 or email at aaron. franklin18@gmail.com. “We need to know the number so we can have enough adult volunteers to manage the event,” he said.

Franklin allowed a single car wash may not raise enough money to provide wristbands for all kids willing to work. In that case, “I’m confident we can find the money to make up the difference, maybe even have another event of some kind,” he said.

The downtown event will be filmed by Street Rodding American Style, a weekly television show on PBS and Cox Kansas 22.

All makes and models of cars, trucks, rat rods and motorcycles are welcome.

The Show-N-Shine registration will be from 9 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. The entry fee is $7. From 11 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. entries will be judged. Mayor Joel Wicoff and Iola Police Chief Jared Warner will present trophies and awards at noon. The first 50 participants will receive a free dash

plaque. Pin-up girls will also be there to take photos for the event’s calendar.

The Poker Run registration will begin at 1 p.m. and route map and rules will be given upon registration. Participants will leave at 2 p.m. for the first draw. The entry fee for the Poker Run is $10.

Kids of all ages are also encouraged to participate by bringing a tricked-out bicycle and attempt to win the Pedal Perfect Bicycle Award.

Entry fees for bicycles are $3.

The event is sponsored by Scoops and More.

Abandoned cars an eyesore for LaHarpe

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

LAHARPE — The number of abandoned or disabled vehicles in town is growing and becoming an eyesore, City Councilman David Lee said.

Lee spoke Wednesday about a recent walk he took through town, counting as many as 70 vehicles that were clearly not ready to be driven away.

He suggested the city take a closer look at its ordinances affecting such vehicles, to determine if they need to be toughened. Lee proposed a group of citizens take on the task.

“When a man opens a car door for his wife, it’s either a new car or a new wife.”

— Prince Philip 75 Cents

While fellow Council members agreed the vehicles are an issue, they may let City Attorney Chuck Apt look at LaHarpe’s ordinances, visit with neighboring communities about their regulations and bring back a proposed resolution.

THE COUNCIL voted, 3-1, to reimburse former City Councilman Clayton Carr $49.20 for electric charges he had been assessed improperly.

The charges were for a streetlight at Carr’s property, Jayhawker RV Park, at the intersection of Broadway Street and U.S. 54. Carr See LAHARPE | Page A5

1 teen dead, 5 injured in boat crash FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — A late-night trip on a Fort Lauderdale river left one teenager dead and five others injured after the 13-foot Boston Whaler boat struck a bridge early today.

Investigators were trying to determine whether someone had loaned the boat to the teens because it is not owned by anyone directly related to them, said Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission spokeswoman Liz Barraco said.

She said the agency has taken custody of the vessel.

The teens had apparently set out on the Middle River in Fort Lauderdale around 10:30 p.m. Wednesday, officials said. Early this morning, the craft crashed into pilings under a bridge on the south fork of the river, which runs through a residential neighborhood in Fort Lauderdale.

Michael Cooper, who lives near the crash site, said he was getting ready for bed when he heard a “tremendous smack� outside. “I feel so bad for them and the family. I’m thinking about them. I hope they are OK,� Cooper said.

The teens were taken to Broward Health Med-

ical Center in Fort Lauderdale. Barraco said Thursday that three teens remained in critical condition, while two others had minor injuries. The identities of the teens have not been released.

Today

Investigators worked through the night to process the scene. By daylight, the boat had been taken away and the scene had been cleared.

No further details were immediately available.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Convicted national security leaker Chelsea Manning could be placed in solitary confinement indefinitely for allegedly violating prison rules by having a copy of Vanity Fair with Caitlyn Jenner on the cover and an expired tube of toothpaste, among other things, her lawyer said Wednesday.

The former intelligence analyst, formerly known as Bradley Manning, was convicted in 2013 of espionage and other offenses for sending more than 700,000 classified documents while working in Iraq. She is serving a 35-year sentence at the military prison at Fort Leavenworth, for leaking reams of war logs, diplomatic cables and battlefield video to the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks in 2010.

Her attorney, Nancy Hollander, said an Aug. 18 hearing is set at the Fort Leavenworth prison for the transgender Army private. The hearing before a threeperson panel is closed, although Manning has

asked that it be public. “This is like prison disciplinary infractions in a civilian prison and there will be a hearing, but frankly it looks to me like harassment,� Hollander said.

The military had no immediate comment Wednesday.

The prison charges include possession of prohibited property in the form of books and magazines while under administrative segregation; medicine misuse over the toothpaste; disorderly conduct for sweeping food onto the floor; and disrespect. All relate to alleged conduct on July 2 and 9. The maximum penalty Manning could face is indefinite solitary confinement. “It is not uncommon in prisons to have charges that to the rest of us seem to be absurd,� Hollander said. “Prisons are very controlled environments and they try to keep them very controlled and sometimes in that control they really go too far and I think that this is going too far.�

Hollander is particu-

larly troubled by the fact that Manning’s reading material was taken away from her, including a novel about transgender issues, the book “Hacker, Hoaxer, Whistleblower, Spy — The Many Faces of Anonymous,� the book “I am Malala,� an issue of Cosmopolitan magazine containing an interview with Manning and the U.S. Senate report on CIA torture. “There is certainly no security risk, and that could impinge on her free speech rights and attempt to silence her,� she said.

Back-to-school stress from kindergarten to college

By NARA SCHOENBERG Chicago Tribune

(TNS) Going back to school is exciting, invigorating — and stressful.

What if your firstgrade teacher is the meanest person ever?

What if you can’t open the lock on your middle school locker? What if you have no one to talk to at freshman orientation?

It’s human nature to feel anxious in the face of change, experts say, but there’s plenty that parents can do to help kids feel prepared for school, from showing small children where the cafeteria and bathrooms are to helping a college freshman come up with a few simple conversation-starters (“Where are you from?”

“What dorm are you in?”) to ease those firstweek jitters.

“Anxiety decreases when there are no curveballs and no surprises,” says psychotherapist Fran Walfish, author of “The Self-Aware Parent: Resolving Conflict and Building a Better Bond With Your Child.”

Regardless of the age group, experts say, you should listen to your child’s back-to-school concerns without dismissing them. It’s perfectly reasonable to worry about making friends on the playground or sharing a college dorm room with a stranger, so acknowledge what your child is feeling (“It’s hard; it’s scary. I get it.”), try to maintain a calm and confident tone (“I know you will get through this.”) and help your child come up with age-appropriate coping strategies.

Among the tips from our experts: Elementary school

Push

bedtime

for-

ward: Establish a schoolappropriate bedtime seven to 10 days before the new school year begins, Walfish says. Your kid will have a chance to acclimate to the new routine and will be more likely to be well rested and ready to go on the first day of school.

Prepare your child: Tell your kid a little about what the day’s schedule will be like: “Your teacher will lead you to your classroom, you’ll salute the flag, listen to your teacher read a book.” It’s also helpful to talk about feelings, Walfish says. You might say, “Some people feel a little nervous or excited or scared on the first day. That’s perfectly normal.”

Pay a visit: If possible, have your kid visit before school begins, Walfish says. Show your child her new classroom if possible. Kindergartners will want to know what their schedule will be, where the bathrooms are and how to get to the gym, playground and cafeteria.

Plan a play date: If your child doesn’t know kids in his class, consider arranging a play date or two before school begins. The principal may be able to give you a class roster; some schools post class lists at the end of the summer.

Middle school

Get a lock: Sixthgraders tend to focus their worries on the combination locks on their hallway lockers, says psychologist Jennifer Powell-Lunder, coauthor of “Teenage as a Second Language.” She suggests purchasing a combination lock for summer practice: “It really brings down a lot of the anxiety.”

Buy strategically: Some kids worry about having the right clothes and accessories, says Michelle Icard, author

- CORRECTION FROM USD 257 KNOW YOUR SCHOOL PAGE

The Spring Break Dates For USD 257 Are: MARCH 14-18, 2016 Sorry for any confusion!

If your child is nervous about school starting, do a dry run and visit before classes begin, suggests psychotherapist Fran Walfish. (Fotolia) of “Middle School Makeover: Improving the Way You and Your Child Experience the Middle School Years.”

You can’t buy everything that’s “in” — and you shouldn’t — but one or two key items can ease the transition. Consider an item that’s used every day, such as a jacket, phone or backpack.

Arrange an outing: If your kid is stressed out by, say, the decline of an important friendship, encourage him to reach out to other kids, Icard says. “You may have to be the parent who says, ‘In-

vite a few friends to the movies, and I’ll drive.’”

Don’t overreact: Respond to your child’s social stress seriously but not personally. “That’s normal” is a helpful response. “That makes me so sad” is not. You don’t want your child to feel that your happiness rides on her social success.

High school

Do a dry run: Freshmen worry a lot about logistics, says PowellLunder: How will they find their classes? Many schools hold summer orientations; if so, sign

up. If not, see if you can arrange a visit for your child and a few of her friends. If they have their schedules, so much the better. You may also be able to go online and get a map of the school.

Head off the rumors: If your kid is worried about getting a “bad” teacher, listen attentively to his concerns, then remind him of other rumors he’s heard in the past that turned out not to be true. You may also want to enlist the help of older siblings or discourage their scare tactics.

Keep an eye on bedtime: Teens really need their sleep, so get your child’s sleep cycle back on track before school begins. The National Sleep Foundation website has useful information and advice for parents of teens.

College

Offer social strategies: Many freshmen worry about fitting in and finding friends, says Joani Geltman, author of “A Survival Guide to

Parenting Teens.” Listen to your child’s concerns and help her come up with a few conversation starters (“What classes are you taking?”) and maybe another useful phrase or two (“Want to go to dinner?”)

Accept homesickness: Don’t try to rescue a tearful freshman by bringing him home for a weekend visit or arranging for a school transfer, Geltman says. Don’t overreact to normal roommate complaints.

Listen, sympathize and express confidence in your child and his coping skills.

Consider the source: With upperclassmen, back-to-school stress can stem from family expectations, Geltman says. Is your kid pursuing a career path because that’s what you want? Is she attending a school that isn’t right for her? If you suspect an academic mismatch, you might say, “You know what, you don’t sound happy with your courses. If this isn’t right for you, let’s talk about that.”

Balloons help with obesity battle

By AMEET SACHDEV

Chicago Tribune

(TNS) There’s a new weapon in the fight against obesity: balloons For many struggling with their weight, a new device has been approved that will give them another medical alternative to treatments such as prescription drugs and surgery.

It involves inserting a small balloon into the stomach through the mouth. The saline-filled balloon is meant to be a temporary measure to curb the appetite and help patients lose weight.

The federal Food and Drug Administration recently approved two intragastric balloons made by different companies in the space of two weeks. Both are aimed at adults with body mass indexes (BMI) of 30 to 40 who couldn’t lose weight through diet and exercise.

The potential marketplace is huge. An estimated 45 million to 50 million adults have BMIs of 30 to 40, said Dr. John Morton, president of the American Society for Metabolic and

Bariatric Surgery.

The arrival of weight-loss balloons reflects a broader shift in attitudes about people who struggle with their weight. For so long, overweight people have dealt with the guilt and shame of those extra pounds, in addition to health problems like diabetes. That’s why weight loss is such a big business.

But it’s a business built around self-treatment, leading to the rise of Weight Watchers and other diet companies, weight-loss supplements, health clubs and diet books. The questionable results from the commercial options have begun to change the widespread perception that obesity is simply the result of eating too much or exercising too little.

The medical community took a major step toward reducing the stigma of obesity when the American Medical Association in 2013 officially recognized it as a disease.

Hospital in Chicago will be the first physician in the Midwest to offer Apollo Endosurgery’s balloon, Orbera. The company paid for him to be trained on how to insert and remove the balloon and how to provide the necessary follow-up care to assure weight loss.

“People still fear surgery,” Lutfi said. “The advantage of the balloon is there’s no cutting.”

But just because there’s no cutting and stitching doesn’t mean the balloon is risk-free.

Patients can suffer se-

For so long, overweight people have dealt with the guilt and shame of those extra pounds, in addition to health problems like diabetes. They’s why weight loss is such a big business.

With that classification, the pharmaceutical and medical device industry has started investing more in possible treatments. The FDA has approved three weight-loss drugs since 2012. Apollo Endosurgery and ReShape Medical submitted balloons for FDA review last year.

There is a lot of enthusiasm about the balloons among some gastroenterologists because using them is less invasive than weight-loss surgery like gastric bypass. The patient is under mild sedation and the balloon is placed without surgery through a tube inserted in the mouth. The balloon should be removed after six months.

Dr. Rami Lutfi at Presence St. Joseph

vere nausea and vomiting in the first days after placement. Other potential risks include ulcers and balloon deflation.

In clinical data cited by the FDA in its Orbera approval, patients lost an average of 21.8 pounds (10.2 percent of their body weight) after six months, better than the 7-pound loss in patients who only tried diet and exercise. Some patients gained some weight after the device was removed but maintained an average of 19.4 pounds of weight loss nine months after placement.

The ReShape balloon, shaped like a dumbbell, is intended for adults who also have an obesity-related condition like diabetes, high blood

pressure or high cholesterol. Patients with the device lost an average of 14.3 pounds in a clinical study.

But the devices won’t be cheap. The Orbera procedure, including a 12-month diet and exercise program, will be $6,000 to $8,000, said Dennis McWilliams, founder of Apollo Endosurgery. And at least initially, he doesn’t expect insurance to cover the cost.

The gastric balloon is not a new idea. The FDA first approved a weightloss balloon in 1985. As now, there was a lot of excitement about the development. But the manufacturer stopped selling it three years later because of problems with spontaneous deflation and questions about its long-term effectiveness.

McWilliams said Orbera has a track record of safety overseas. The device has been used in more than 200,000 patients in about 80 countries, he said.

However, some remain skeptical of the balloons’ potential for long-term weight management. A 2007 study found that “compared with conventional management, intragastric balloon did not show convincing evidence of a greater weight loss.”

Morton is optimistic that the balloons will fare better than their predecessor from 30 years ago. He views the balloon as a bridge between weight-loss drugs and surgery, similar to a cardiac stent to treat heart disease.

“I can’t say it’s for everyone,” Morton said, “But for the motivated patient it can work.”

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Outrage against Planned Parenthood nothing but a sham In a largely partisan vote, the call to strip Planned Parenthood of its $530 million in federal funding fell short by seven votes earlier this month.

Kansas Republicans Jerry Moran and Pat Roberts supported the effort as did every other Republican save one, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, which gives him the right to bring it back for a vote at a later time.

The vote was called on the heels of the release of several undercover videos that were spliced together to depict Planned Parenthood officials discussing the price of fetal tissue.

The hoped-for outcry ensued. Politicians desperate to prove they are the evermore conservative likened Planned Parenthood to something out of a horror movie.

Except it’s not, and never has been.

And federal funds — which come by way of Medicaid reimbursements and family planning grants, not cash in hand — do not go toward abortions, which comprise only 3 percent of the organization’s services.

By law, federal funds cannot be used to fund abortions except in the case of incest, rape or where a woman’s life is in danger.

So, when you call for the defunding of Planned Parenthood, you’re asking to eliminate funds to women’s health programs such as contraception, cancer screenings and pap smears — the stuff that saves lives

and prevents unwanted pregnancies.

Last year, of the 2.7 million women who visited a Planned Parenthood clinic, 80 percent came for the purpose of contraception, the majority of whom subsist on meager incomes. In other words, the very demographic that is hard-pressed to provide a nurturing environment for their children is being denied services that could help them manage the size of their families.

For every dollar the government spends preventing an unwanted pregnancy, it saves more than five times that in Medicaid expenditures allocated to low-income women who become pregnant, according to the Guttmacher Institute.

As a society, we are winning the war against abortion. Rates have dropped by more than one-third since 1990 thanks to effective and widespread birth control measures.

Defunding Planned Parenthood would bring such success to a halt.

THE TROUBLE is, politicians know the facts. They know that Planned Parenthood serves an important role by saving lives and preventing unwanted pregnancies.

But they also know the above essay is too long for a sound bite and that their re-election depends on such.

And society is to suffer for such vanity.

State regulators play key role with rates Customers of Westar Energy Inc., the state’s largest electric company, probably are pleased but maybe a little puzzled by the rate compromise announced last week

by Westar, the Kansas Corporation Commission and the Citizens’ Utility Ratepayers Board.

The electric company initially had sought to increase its rates enough to bring in an additional $152 million a year but now has decided it can settle for an overall increase about half that big: $78 million. That’s more than the $56 million increase favored initially by CURB and the KCC, but represented what CURB’s chief attorney called “a pretty decent deal” for Kansas customers.

The difference between what Westar started out asking for and what it eventually found acceptable may raise some eyebrows. The company said it needed $152 million to cover its costs for work that already has been com-

Congo president refuses to give up power The Democratic Republic of the Congo, formerly called Zaire, has been a center of unrest in Africa ever since its independence in 1960.

It may be heading in that direction again as its president, Joseph Kabila, tries to extend his constitutionallylimited two five-year terms beyond the scheduled 2016 presidential election. In taking that course he is seeking to follow in the footsteps of other African presidents-forlife, including Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe, Uganda’s Yoweri Museveni, Cameroon’s Paul Biya and Rwanda’s Paul Kagame.

He would also be emulating his country’s famed longterm tyrant, Mobutu SeseSeko, in power for 32 years until he was overthrown in

1997 by Kabila’s father.

Joseph Kabila was welcomed by some to power when he succeeded his father, assassinated in 2001. He was then elected president in 2006 and re-elected in 2011, in a relatively democratic election. Now he is taking advantage of the DRC’s chaotic governmental situation to stay in power. He first argued that a census was necessary before the election. He is also proposing that the country be reorganized, from 11 to 26 provinces, a long and tortuous process, before the 2016 presidential contest can take place. The government is also complaining that it is $900 million short in financing the election, which it claims will cost $1.4 billion.

Advocates of democracy,

including the United States, oppose any postponement of the presidential election on any grounds. America has offered to contribute $30 million toward the enterprise if Kabila steps down.

THE PROBLEM is that trouble in the Congo, with a population of 70 million and borders on nine countries, has traditionally spread throughout the region and cost thousands of lives. Continued rule by Kabila serves no useful purpose in the DRC. He should be obliged by whatever means necessary — sanctions, an aid cutoff or other pressure — to proceed with the election on schedule, as directed by the constitution.

A�look�back�in�time � 20 Years Ago Week of Aug. 9, 1995

Dennis McDonald is spending much of his time preparing plaques for the Veterans Memorial Wall.

He was a radioman on the Iwo Jima, the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier that recovered the Apollo 13 Odyssey space capsule when it returned to Earth 25 years ago and was reminded of the event by a motion picture this week. *****

Jeanice Cress, Allen County Extension home economist who will retire soon, was honored prior to the Allen County Fair’s livestock auction last night, for her 40 years of service to the fair. ***** Trevor Harrison, 6, was given an honorary badge by the Iola police for his part in helping his grandparents, Bill and Shirley Ulrich, owners of Go West Western Ap-

parel, catch two shoplifters. ***** COLONY — Wayne Smith has been confined to a bed or a wheelchair for nearly 30 of his 55 years since being stricken with a debilitating disease for which doctors are still trying to find a cure.

Clark Schainost of the Colony Lions Club is a member of a committee coordinating one of the club’s most ambitious projects ever: Building a house for the Smiths.

pleted at the LaCygne and Wolf Creek power plants and to provide $220 million over the next five years for upgrades to its electrical grid.

However, at the end of the negotiations, Westar said the $78 million still would allow it to recover the power plant costs and to invest about $50 million in the grid.

So, how much was Westar padding its request? Over five years, the $152 million increase would have amounted to $760 million in additional funds, compared to the $390 million provided by the $78 million increase. That’s a difference of $370 million, and yet the company said it would only have to reduce the amount going to grid improvements by about $170 million. Where was the other $200 million going? A lot of that $40 million per year probably would have gone into shareholders’ pockets.

Westar reported total earnings of $313 million ($2.40 per share) last year, up from $293

million ($2.29 per share) in 2013.

The rate compromise still must receive final approval from the KCC, but the tentative agreement points out the important role that the KCC and CURB play in protecting the interests of utility consumers in the state. To stay in business, companies like Westar need to be allowed to recover their costs and provide a reasonable return to their investors. It’s in the company’s interest to maximize its profits, but it’s the responsibility of the KCC to make sure the company isn’t reaping unreasonable profits through unreasonably high electrical rates.

Most Kansans probably don’t know much about the KCC and CURB, but the Westar “compromise” announced last week perhaps should trigger a greater appreciation for the role those agencies play.

Clinton’s college plan plays it forward If it makes sense for the government to help young people pay for college — and it does — then it also makes sense for the government to help them pay it back. On Monday, Hillary Clinton endorsed an idea that would improve both sides of this bargain.

It’s called income-based loan repayment, which sets monthly payments as a percentage of earnings. To be fair, it is not a new idea: President Barack Obama’s administration has proposed expanding the existing program, and Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio has introduced a bill in the Senate that would automatically enroll those with federal student loans into such a plan.

Clinton’s approach includes replacing the four existing income-based plans with a single program, doing a better job telling students about income-based repayment (more than 25 percent use such a plan now) and making it easier to enroll.

Payments would be capped at 10 percent of discretionary income, and any remaining loans would be forgiven after 20 years (25 for grad-school loans).

There are still points to work out. The best way to reach everyone who can benefit from income-based repay-

ments is to make them the default option, which Rubio explicitly supports but Clinton doesn’t. Another question is whether repayments should be automatically deducted from borrowers’ paychecks — cutting the risk of default to near zero, but provoking concerns about government overreach.

Finally, erasing outstanding balances after a fixed number of years creates an incentive to earn less. The purpose of the program should be to make payments manageable, not to discharge them prematurely. A better approach would be to stop automatic loan forgiveness, and instead allow borrowers in genuine hardship to request an exemption.

But those questions are secondary. A college education remains an excellent investment, both individually and collectively. At the same time, the amount of student debt — some $1.3 trillion, with 1 in 6 borrowers delinquent or in default — is worrisome.

Income-based repayment plans allow students to better take advantage of opportunity and the government to better manage risk. It’s an idea that deserves the support of whoever is elected president next year.

Today in history In 1792, French revolutionaries imprisoned the royal family.

In 1846, the American flag was raised for the first time in Los Angeles.

In 1934, the satirical comic strip “Li’l Abner,” created by Al Capp, made its debut.

In 1960, the first twoway telephone conversation by satellite took place with the help of Echo 1. The Central African Republic became totally independent of French rule.

In 1995, Baseball Hall of Famer Mickey Mantle died at a Dallas hospital of rapidly spreading liver cancer; he was 63.

Burlington, a drug dog from Wilson County was summoned. The dog, while walking around the plane, gave ample reason to suspect drugs were on it. A warrant signed by District Judge Dan Creitz permitted a search, which uncovered the marijuana.

Weaver was arrested.

Murphy said Weaver had taken a commercial flight to California to pick up the plane he was flying, which had stopped in Carson City, Nev., before arriving in Allen County.

previously said the light had been improperly installed on his side of his electric meter two years ago, and he was being charged for it.

Carr questioned the city’s decision to remove the light altogether.

City Clerk Michelle Altis explained removing the light was permissible because of three other nearby streetlights.

Councilman Danny Ware Jr. voted against the reimbursement because it only covered three months’ worth of bills. Since Carr still has more money coming, Ware said he favored seeing the rebate paid at once.

Former President Carter to begin cancer treatment ATLANTA (AP) — Former President Jimmy Carter, who at age 90 still travels the world supporting the humanitarian endeavors that have consumed his time in the decades since he left office, announced Wednesday he has cancer that has spread to other parts of his body.

“Recent liver surgery revealed that I have cancer that now is in other parts of my body,” Carter said in the statement released by the Carter Center. “I will be rearranging my schedule as necessary so I can undergo treatment by physicians at Emory Healthcare.”

The statement makes clear that Carter’s cancer is widely spread but not where it originated, or even if that is known at this point. The liver is often a place where cancer spreads and less commonly is the primary source of it. The statement said further

information will be provided when more facts are known, “possibly next week.”

Carter announced on Aug. 3 that he had surgery to remove a small Jimmy Carter m a s s from his liver.

Good wishes poured in on social media after Carter’s announcement, while President Barack Obama said he and first lady Michelle Obama wish Carter a fast and full recovery.

“Jimmy, you’re as resilient as they come, and along with the rest of America, we are rooting for you,” Obama said in a statement.

Carter was the nation’s 39th president, defeating Gerald Ford in 1976 with a pledge to always be honest.

Before his career in

politics, Carter graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy and served seven years in the Navy submarine force.

A Georgia peanut farmer who had been a state senator and governor of Georgia for a single term before running for president, Carter ended up seeing his second term for president doomed by a number of foreign policy conflicts, most especially the Iran hostage crisis — losing in a landslide to Ronald Reagan in 1980.

He spent the decades since carving out a reputation for promoting such global issues as health care and democracy, often with his wife Rosalynn by his side.

He joined the staff of Emory University and in 1982 established the Carter Center to promote those issues.

His new role as global statesman took him into places often shunned by other diplomats. Carter

helped defuse nuclear tensions between the Koreas and monitored the first Palestinian elections. In 2002, he won the Nobel Peace Prize.

According to the Carter Center, he and Rosalynn volunteer one week a year for Habitat for Humanity, a nonprofit that helps build and renovate homes for people in need.

Despite remaining active through the years, Carter’s health has recently become the subject of speculation. In May, he was forced to cut short an election observation visit to Guyana when he developed a bad cold.

Carter also completed a book tour this summer to promote his latest work, “A Full Life.”

Carter included his family’s history of pancreatic cancer in that memoir, writing that his father, brother and two sisters all died of the disease and said the

trend “concerned” the former president’s doctors at Emory.

“The National Institutes of Health began to check all members of our family regularly, and my last remaining sibling, Gloria, sixtyfour, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and died in 1990,” Carter wrote. “There was no record of another American family having lost four members to this disease, and since that time I have had regular X-rays, CAT scans, or blood analyses, with hope of early detection if I develop the same symptoms.”

Carter wrote that being the only nonsmoker in his family “may have been what led to my longer life.”

“Our thoughts and prayers go out to President Carter,” said Dr. Len Lichtenfeld, deputy chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society.

Hemingway’s Idaho house listed on national register BOISE, Idaho (AP) — An Idaho house where Ernest Hemingway wrote his last works before killing himself in the main entryway in 1961 has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Nature Conservancy owns the twostory, 2,500-square-foot house in the central Idaho resort town of Ketchum and announced the listing Tuesday.

“We’re looking at ways to honor and also build on the literary legacy that Hemingway brought,” said Lou Lunte, the group’s deputy state director.

Hemingway experts say the famed author worked on “A Moveable Feast” and “The Dangerous Summer” at the house he owned from April 1959 until his suicide in July 1961 at age 61 when, biographers

LaHarpe: Search for member Continued from A1

Thursday, August 13, 2015

Carr provided Council members a photo copy of bills over the past seven months.

THE COUNCIL remains at four instead of five, following Carr’s resignation in April.

Mayor Mae Crowell said after Wednesday’s meeting there was still lack of a consensus among her and the Council members on who should be appointed to fill the rest of Carr’s term.

Three candidates who ran in April have expressed interest: Savannah Flory, Don Gay and Ron Knavel Sr. Crowell said she has provided an informal deadline of the Council’s September meeting to decide who should

fill the vacancy.

“We need to get this resolved,” she said.

THE newest addition to LaHarpe City Park, a 175-foot zip line, is now complete, although it has been closed the past two days for minor repairs.

City crews are installing a metal anchor encased on concrete at the east end to ensure the line remains taut.

Heavy usage, coupled with rainy weather, caused one set of poles to shift slightly.

The zip line remains usable, but with the shift, added slack in the line slows the ride considerably.

The device should be reopen in a few days.

say, he feared he had lost the ability to write to his standards.

T h e National P a r k Service, which manages the Na- Hemingway tional Register, said the Ernest and Mary Hemingway House was listed because of its ability to provide insights about Hemingway. The Nobel Prize winner was drawn to the region for its hunt-

ing and fishing, said Paul Lusignan, a historian with the National Register.

The death of Hemingway wasn’t a deciding factor to include the house, but Lusignan said it did play a role.

The house is “associated with a part of his career in which he had lost the ability to write as he previously had,” Lusignan said. “He lived a full life and he was going out on his own terms. I think that reflects the persona that he created for himself.”

The 1950s house contains an astonishing array of the author’s personal possessions rarely seen by the public. Because of zoning restrictions, The Nature Conservancy allows visits to the house by invitation only.

Mary Hemingway, who died in 1986, gave the house to The Nature Conservancy. The group used it as a field office for a time before outgrowing it and moving to other offices. The house has an astonishing array of the author’s personal possessions and mid-1950s decor.

Pension: Officials defensive Continued from A1

mittee Chairman Jeff King, an Independence Republican.

But a report last year from the Center for Retirement Research at Boston University said such bonds reduce a state or local government’s financial flexibility. Moody’s Investors Service raised the same issue in a report Tuesday on the Kansas bonds, saying the state is replacing “soft” obligations with “hard” debt payments.

Moody’s also said Kansas appeared to be using the bonds for “near-term budgetary relief.” In authorizing the bonds earlier this year, lawmakers also trimmed back the state’s contributions to public pensions over the next two years, providing less aggressive increases than previously planned.

Republican Gov. Sam Brownback and the GOP-dominated Legislature were seeking to avert a budget deficit following massive personal income tax cuts enacted in 2012 and 2013 at Brownback’s urging in an effort to stimulate the economy. Trimming pension contributions helped; the state also raised sales and cigarette taxes.

“We see this as one of the indicators that the state is having trouble balancing its budget,” said Dan Seymour, a Moody’s assistant vice president and its lead analyst for Kansas.

The pension system projects that the ben-

efits due retirees over the next 18 years were 62 percent funded at the end of last year, with anticipated revenues and investment earnings falling $9.47 billion short. A 2012 law committed the state to greater contributions and revised benefits for new employees so that the gap would be eliminated in 2033.

Kansas officials argued that issuing the bonds immediately boosts the pension system’s funding ratio and makes it easier to close the long-term gap.

“It is unfortunate that previous administrations chose to underfund KPERS,” Brownback budget director Shawn Sullivan said in an emailed statement.

The law authorizing the bonds also caps the interest the state can pay to investors at 5 percent. The state agency handling the bonds said the overall interest cost is 4.68 percent.

The pension system assumes its investments will earn 8 percent over time. The average for the past 25 years is 8.5 percent, said Alan Conroy, the pension system’s executive director. The state issued $500 million in pension bonds in 2004 and is

coming out ahead.

“I don’t see any downside,” Conroy said.

The pension system’s investment earnings can fluctuate year to year. For the 12 months ending in June, Conroy said, they were 3.8 percent, though the average for the previous five years was 11.7 percent.

In a March report, the Westport, Connecticutbased Municipal Market Analytics Inc. described pension bonds as “always the wrong choice.” Matt Fabian, a partner, said Tuesday that such bonds allow a state to take a “holiday” from pension contributions.

“They’re essentially selling bonds and buying stocks,” he said.

“And they’re buying stocks at what may be the top of the market.”

Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s rated the bonds in line with the state’s overall credit ratings but one notch below because lawmakers must appropriate money annually for bond payments. Still, the latest Moody’s report said the bonds represent “a riskier strategy than the simpler alternative of making larger annual pension contributions.”

Children’s groups decry state funding priorities

By JIM McLEAN KHI News Service

Governor Sam Brownback’s decision to divert federal funding away from a health insurance program is drawing sharp criticism from children’s advocates.

Shannon Cotsoradis, president of the nonprofit advocacy organization Kansas Action for Children, said the governor is shortchanging Kansas families who depend on the Children’s Health Insurance Program. “The dollars we are receiving as a result of the bump in the federal match are dollars that could have been reinvested in Kansas children and their families,�

Cotsoradis said. “I think it’s troubling that Kansas kids continue to foot the bill for unsustainable tax cuts in our state.�

Cotsoradis was referencing income tax cuts passed at Brownback’s urging in 2012. Instead of jumpstarting the Kansas economy as Brownback promised, the tax cuts caused a steep drop in state revenue. The revenue shortfalls forced Brownback and legislators to cut spending and raise other taxes to keep the state budget in balance.

However, the increase in sales and tobacco taxes passed by lawmakers to end the 2015 legislative session — the longest in state history — weren’t enough to put this year’s budget in the black. So, Brownback and state Budget Director Shawn Sullivan were forced to come up with another $63 million in spending cuts and fund transfers.

The transfers included $17.6 million in federal funding for the CHIP program.

Elisabeth Wright Burak, senior program director at the Georgetown University Health Policy Institute Center for Children and Families, said some states are using similar increases to expand their CHIP programs or fund outreach efforts to increase enrollment.

Kansas is missing an opportunity to do the same, she said. “It is federal money that’s on the table to help families,� Wright Burak said. “It’s an opportunity to do more for kids than you have been doing.�

Approximately 54,000 Kansas children are enrolled in CHIP, about 87 percent of those thought to be eligible. The national average for CHIP participation is slightly higher, at 88.3 percent.

Wright Burak said that doesn’t account for erosions in the eligibility threshold for the Kansas the increased federal funding to restore CHIP eligibility levels is the latest in a series of budget decisions that have negatively affected Kansas children, Cotsoradis said, noting that Brownback and lawmakers also diverted money from early education programs and other children’s initiatives. “The bottom line here is we took more than $50 million from kids during this budget cycle,� she said. “That’s a pretty hefty price tag for Kansas kids.�

San Francisco uses paint to fight public urination SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Public urination has gotten so bad in San Francisco that the city has painted nine walls with a repellant paint that makes pee spray back on the offender.

It’s the latest effort to address a chronic problem in a city where the head of public works calls

himself Mr. Clean: Walls are coated with a clear, liquid repellant material that goes on much like paint. Any urine that hits it splashes back on a person’s shoes and pants.

Cross country update — B4

Tuesday, August 27, 2013 Thursday, August 13, 2015

When putting a Band-Aid on the Titanic isn’t enough After three-quarters of a century, Iola’s football stadium in Riverside Park simply isn’t worth the renovations anymore Old is your powder-blue 1993 Nissan Quest minivan that still has French fries lodged under the seats from your cross-country trip to Disney World.

Vintage is the 1968 Shelby Cobra GT 500KR convertible that your dad passed down to you but you eventually had to sell after realizing crosscountry trips to Disney World are difficult to accomplish in a two-seater.

Doug Kerr wants Municipal Stadium in Riverside Park to go from “old” to “vintage.”

In other words, turn the baby-carrier Quest into the baby-maker Shelby GT. I’d call that a challenge.

But is it a challenge worth embracing in the first place?

zoop’s scoop

by JONATHAN CZUPRYN For years, the citizens of Iola have debated whether they should renovate the 77-year-old football stadium or leave it be.

Why not take door No. 3?

Tear it down and start over.

OK, now I know that’s an overly simplified solution to a more complicated issue. And yes, I realize you John Q. Taxpayer will have to front the bill for a new stadium. And yes, I also realize that tell-

ing you what to do with your money just after moving here a month ago is kind of an arrogant thing to do.

With that said, hear me out.

The current football stadium in Riverside Park was considered the top of its class back when it was constructed in 1938. In fact, the entire park complex was fitted as one of the best in all of southeast Kansas.

When the Works Progress Administration (WPA) installed a new ball park, they brought on B.T. Meskell, a 20year groundskeeper veteran, to evaluate the facilities.

According to Meskell in a 1939 Iola Register article, See COLUMN | Page B6

Royals stick with Volquez too long in 7-4 loss KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Royals manager Ned Yost is quick to go to his lockdown bullpen if his team has a lead late and the starter gets in any trouble.

However, Yost didn’t do that in Kansas City’s 7-4 loss to the Detroit Tigers Wednesday night.

With the Royals up 4-2, the Tigers loaded the bases with none out in the eighth off right-hander Edinson Volquez. Kelvin Herrera had warmed up and was ready to come in.

Yost stuck with Volquez, who gave up a two-run double to Ian Kinsler, before he summoned Herrera.

“That’s my fault, too,” Yost said. “I’ve got a pretty hard fast rule that I don’t let my starter get beat in the eighth inning and I did it there. It cost Eddie a win and cost us a win.”

Volquez yielded two runs in the first two innings, but had retired 13 in a row entering the ninth.

“I thought he was throwing the ball really well,” Yost said. “I can’t really remember many base runners from the second inning on. He just kept pounding that sinker getting out after out after out.

You look at a heavy sinker for a ground ball. Kelvin with a hard fastball is a flyball guy.

“I’m really looking for a ground ball there. That’s the reason I stuck with him. Once he had the walk and swinging bunt, I put him in jeopardy at that point because the winning run is on. I’m not go-

ning.”

J.D. Martinez’s single off Volquez scored Iglesias. Kinsler scored on Tyler Collins’ fielder’s choice grounder for the final eighth inning run.

Neftali Feliz (2-3), the former Texas Rangers closer, picked up the victory, retiring all three batters he faced.

Bruce Rondon worked the ninth to log his second save in as many chances.

Lorenzo Cain had two of the Royals’ hits, including a double, and scored a run. He is 11 for 19 (.579 average) on this homestand. Four of the Royals’ six hits went for extra bases, including Alcides Escobar’s RBI triple in the third.

Escobar scored on the play on Iglesias’ throwing error.

Tigers rookie left-hander Daniel Norris, who was acquired from Toronto in the David Price trade, permitted four runs on six hits in 6 1/3 innings.

TRAINER’S ROOM

The Detroit Tigers’ Ian Kinsler (3) scores under the tag of Kansas City Royals catcher Drew Butera at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., on Wednesday. JOHN SLEEZER/KANSAS CITY STAR/TNS ing to let a reliever come in and give up his runs. Get the ground ball and he did, but not at anyone.”

The loss snapped the Royals’ eight-game home winning streak, their longest since winning their first 11 games

in 2003 at Kauffman Stadium.

Volquez, who had given up three or fewer runs in his previous seven starts, was charged with six runs, five earned, on eight hits over seven-plus innings.

“My pitch count was good,”

Volquez said. “They decided to leave me in and I was really happy to be there. I don’t get frustrated ever. It’s tough.

It’s a tough loss for the team.

We were winning at home. We take the lead and keep it for a little bit and I lost it in one in-

Tigers: 1B Miguel Cabrera (left calf strain) took batting practice, fielded ground balls at first base and ran the bases.

Royals: C Salvador Perez (sore left wrist) had an MRI on Wednesday. “He’s got a little fluid in his joint and a little bit of a bone bruise,” Yost said. Perez did not play Wednesday and will also sit out Thursday, Yost said. ...

RHP Wade Davis, who has missed the past six games with back stiffness, threw a bullpen session Wednesday and could be available Thursday.

Charles laments ‘rough’ offensive line last season

Kansas City Chiefs tackle Eric Fisher (72) works on blocking tackle Tavon Rooks (65) at practice on Aug. 2 at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, Mo. DAVID EULITT/KANSAS CITY STAR/TNS

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs’ Jamaal Charles sounded off on the ineptness of his offensive line last season following Wednesday’s practice, a rare departure from the normally buttonedup running back.

Charles acknowledged the hodge-podge of bodies the Chiefs had block for him was a big reason why his productivity dipped last season. It was also one of the reasons the Pro Bowl running back spent most of the season in the trainer’s room.

“It was rough, know what I’m saying? But at the end of the day, this is the National Football League. You get paid to do your job,” Charles said.

“It was really rough last season, but at the same time, we

won (nine) games with an average line.”

Charles is already imagining what they might do with even modest upgrades.

Kansas City lost starting guard Jeff Allen to a seasonending injury in Week 1, then had to make do with fill-ins Mike McGlynn and Jeff Linkenbach the rest of the way. But not only is Allen back, the Chiefs traded a fifth-round pick to the New Orleans Saints to land former Pro Bowl offensive guard Ben Grubbs, giving the line a much-needed veteran presence.

Throw in another year of experience for left tackle Eric Fisher, the former No. 1 See CHIEFS | Page B6

OF “BEAUTY AND THE BEAST” ON CW For a while when you were doing “Beauty and the Beast,” you also were a regular on the now-finished “Ravenswood.” How was that period for you?

The characters were completely different.

Miranda on “Ravenswood” was more of a dark and emotionally challenging role for me, whereas with Heather (on “Beauty and the Beast”), I get to be that bright and bubbly and fun person who just comes in and makes people laugh.

I really do enjoy both sides of acting, but just because I started on the Disney Channel, comedy is my favorite. And I get to do both on “Beauty and the Beast.”

I’ve found a really great balance, so it’s a lot of fun for me.

Are you glad to be full-time on “Beauty and the Beast” for the first time this season?

It really was interesting how one chapter came to a close and another door opened.

It was sad that “Ravenswood” only ran for 10 episodes, but when “Beauty and the Beast” called me back to introduce me as more of a permanent resident in their family, I was really excited. I truly do enjoy the cast; everyone is so great and so much fun to work with.

While you’re an Indiana native, you live in Toronto now. How do you like it there?

I love Toronto! I love this city so much.

Everyone here is so nice, and there’s so much to do – especially over the summer.

I find myself in a pickle every single weekend, because I want to go and do three things at once. You just have to be OK with the one you’d the least bummed about missing out on. The winters have been hard, for sure, but I’m really happy to be here.

Doctors differ on chemo delivery method Dear Dr. Roach: My 70-year-old husband’s mantle cell lymphoma is being treated with chemotherapy, including doxorubicin, and he received his first cycle at MD Anderson, where they took 48 hours to infuse the doxorubicin chemo. When this cycle was repeated at our local hospital, they administered it as a push in just a few minutes.

I am aware of the cardiac toxicity associated with this drug, and I questioned it being done in minutes rather than days. I had read that administering this slowly could reduce the toxicity, yet the doctor who ordered the push said it didn’t matter. I thought when we brought our regimen from MD Anderson it would be done exactly the same way. I am not finding that, and I am concerned. — L.S. Answer: Doxorubicin (Adriamycin) is

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health one of the most common and effective chemotherapy agents, especially in combination with other anticancer drugs. However, it needs to be dosed cautiously and skillfully, because there are several toxicities. The most important and dangerous is the cardiac toxicity. High doses for prolonged periods can permanently reduce the ability of the heart to squeeze. This is commonly reported as the “ejection fraction,” the proportion of blood emptied by the heart with each stroke.

Normal values are typically about 50 to 75 percent.

Although the major predictor for doxorubicin toxicity is the to-

tal lifetime dose, there is some evidence that slower rates of infusion may reduce risk of developing cardiac toxicity. Also, local reactions, such as redness of the vein, as well as facial flushing, are more common if infused rapidly.

MD Anderson is one of the premier cancer hospitals in the U.S. (and the world). I would recommend speaking to your husband’s attending oncologist about the rate of infusion. Any reduction in this risk seems to me to be worth further discussion.

Dear Dr. Roach: When I was 64, a cyst was found in my bladder. When the cyst was removed, it was found to be cancerous. My urologist wants me to continue to have an annual cystoscopy, which I do.

I’m now 76 and in good health. Do you

feel the annual cystoscopy is still necessary?

— C.K. Answer: Now that more people have had successful treatment of cancer, we are starting to learn about the risks they face in subsequent years. The risk of another cancer is generally higher, but it’s the exact form of cancer that determines how much risk there is, and consequently, how aggressive follow-up must be.

In the case of bladder cancer, I have read some studies that the risk is quite small after five years. However, the American Urologic Association has clear guidelines: Because of the increased risk for recurrence, it recommends annual cystoscopy indefinitely. Cystoscopy is a pretty safe procedure, so I think your urologist’s recommendation is reasonable.

Chiefs: Charles happy with additions Update on IHS

cross country

Kansas City Chiefs tackle Derek Sherrod (67) prepares to block linebacker Dee Ford (55) during training camp at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, Mo., on Aug. 4. DAVID EULITT/KANSAS CITY STAR/TNS Continued from B1 overall draft pick, and Charles suddenly has a bit more bounce to his step.

“When you have a line, that gets you excited,” he said. “You want to stay on the field. You want to give your all, because they’re going to give you all they have to win the game. I’m glad we went out there and got some experience on the line. It means we want to win.”

The Chiefs have yet to settle on a starting five, though, in part because there is so much competition. Just this week, they moved some pieces to come up with a new starting unit, one that will likely get first-team

reps in their preseason opener Saturday in Arizona.

Fisher is entrenched at left tackle, and Grubbs at left guard, but rookie Mitch Morse has supplanted Eric Kush at center. Zach Fulton has regained his job at right guard, and Allen has kicked out to tackle, replacing Donald Stephenson on the first unit.

“I’m getting comfortable with the group,” Charles said. “I feel like Grubbs and Fish, they’re building chemistry. Then you’ve got Jeff, he wants to play. He missed football last year. He wants to play. He’s just happy to be on the field, do whatever it takes.”

year, we are a little deeper. The pieces are here right now, whereas last year that wasn’t the case at this point.

“It’s just a matter of finding out the best five,” Smith said, “and inevitably every year, it’s more than five. You need depth. It’s got to be seven, eight guys.”

NOTES: WR Jeremy Maclin hopes to play against the Cardinals.

He returned to practice Wednesday after missing two days with a neck strain.

Asked whether it occurred in his fight with CB Marcus Cooper, Maclin simply laughed.

“Nah, I don’t know,” he said.

In a bit of levity, Charles actually forgot the name of his rookie center. But he knows that Morse was a stalwart at Missouri, and that “he has experience playing at a high level.”

Charles may have taken a few shots at last year’s offensive line, but quarterback Alex Smith also alluded to its shortcomings during a brief moment with reporters.

“It was tough last year in the sense of the moving parts,” Smith said.

“We had a bunch of guys who came in late.

We were trying to fit it together, even as camp ended. We were picking up guys that were stepping in and playing. This

The Iola High School cross country team will now meet at the school on Monday at 6:30 p.m. for its first official practice of the season.

Originally, coach Marvin Smith had planned on holding his first practice at the Bassola Lake Trails. However, due to a new rule by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS), Smith was forced to hold the first part of practice at the school.

Smith, along with all the other high school coaches, are required to hold a short class on concussions and heat exhaustion.

The class will include a video demonstrating what and what not to do when participating in high school sports.

Iola’s Riverside Park had “better soil, better drainage and a larger area than the Yankees home field.”

Anyone who was here during 2007 or any major storm can attest that Meskell’s evaluation no longer holds water.

And why should it?

It’s been 77 years.

If you leave anything out for 77 years without a major-league type of grounds crew available, you’re going to see some wear and tear.

Wrigley Field has been operational since 1914, and the beloved stadium has gotten facelift after facelift since then. Still, there were concrete blocks falling from the grandstands just a few years ago. The building still found a way to crumble despite some of the most watchful upkeep available. So it makes sense that Iola Municipal Stadium is no longer the facility that it was back in 1938.

It makes sense that the storage capability of the stadium is so poor that Kerr and his team have to keep their equipment at the school until they need it at the field.

It makes sense that the locker rooms are susceptible to flooding because it’s at the bottom of the bathtub that is Riverside Park.

It makes sense that 1938 Iola didn’t think to put in a visitor’s grandstand, a full concession stand or a state-of-theart scoreboard.

But it doesn’t make sense that 2015 Iola has to simply put up with all of it year after year.

I haven’t been here long at all, but I’ve seen Humboldt High’s athletic facilities and I’ve

seen Fort Scott’s Adam LaRoche Baseball Complex — both of which are more than capable of hosting state tournaments.

Those stadiums have the opportunity to bring their communities more revenue and more people. Iola’s doesn’t.

Even if you put aside the fact that a new stadium would serve as a valuable investment for the city, you should still recognize the fact that a proud sports community like this one deserves better.

“Nothing ever stands still, it is against the laws of nature, we must either go forward or backward, that is true of a town or community as well.”

Mrs. A.G. Speegle wrote that in a letter to the Iola Register back on June 1, 1938. It was the day before the vote concerning the new facilities at Riverside Park.

Some 578 people voted to say no to the stadiums and improvements. But Mrs. Speegle was one of 1,073 to say yes.

She believed in having “some civic pride,” and constructing a new complex brought that to Iola more than threequarters of a century ago.

With football as big and popular as it is now, a new stadium would be sure to bring this town some good ’ole civic pride once again.

“When the park is finished,” Mrs. Speegle continued, “we’ll have something to show the visitor from out of town besides Highland Cemetery and the ‘has beens’ of yesteryears.”

Isn’t it time we had something more to show?

More than a place to play football, a new stadium would become an icon for a town so passionate about its youth.

It would represent a fresh start for the football program, a fresh start for Iola High and a fresh start for Iola.

This town embraces its history and its tradition, which is a fine trait to possess in a society that has seemed to cast aside the achievements of generations before.

But I’m not asking you to forget the past.

I’m asking you to create a new tradition for our future.

Smith said parents are welcome to stay and watch the presentation along with the students in order to learn more about the concussion/heat exhaustion issues as well.

Although Smith will begin practice with the class, he added that there will be an actual physical portion of practice following the videos.

Therefore, all student-athletes wishing to participate in Iola High’s first official cross country practice of the year will need to arrive with running apparel and shoes.

If you have any questions, contact Smith.

Iola’s first cross country meet of the year is Sept. 3 at Garnett.
