City, county sign on the dotted line Ambulance contract amended

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

Iola and Allen County have agreed to terms on an amended contract for the city to continue providing countywide ambulance service for the next five years.

The pact closes the latest chapter in the yearslong issue of providing a consolidated service for the county.

Governing bodies of both entities unanimously voted for the new contract terms, which increase the county’s subsidy to the city to $1 million annually — up from $750,000 — while ensuring ambulances remain stationed in their home depots if other ambulances are called to service. The annual subsidies after that will change in league with the

Consumer Price Index.

The new contract includes an addendum to help the city make up a projected $378,000 budget shortfall by the end of the year. The county has agreed to pay $136,000 to make up part of the deficit immediately, with another $53,000 coming at the end of the year if the projected deficit comes to fruition.

“The operation needs to be sustainable, fully funded so the city does not have to go back continually to the county for more money,” Iola City Administrator Carl Slaugh wrote in his notes to council members. “There are still options for the city to reduce expenditures in fire operations.”

The changes would include altering standby and call-back policies when an ambulance is dispatched, Slaugh said.

The Allen County Commission voted, 3-0, for the new contract Tuesday morning; Iola City Council members followed with a 6-0 vote See CITY | Page A4

CITY COUNCIL

Advocate for new schools fields questions at city meeting

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

Jen Taylor spearheads the local campaign for new elementary and high schools in Iola. REGISTER/KAYLA BANZET

Iolan Jen Taylor, who has spearheaded the local campaign to have new elementary and high schools in Iola, spoke about several schoolrelated issues Tuesday with Iola City Council members.

Taylor is chairwoman of the Yes For Iola Kids Yes campaign.

Taylor briefed Iola council members about the positive economic impact a new schools project would have on the Iola area. (See county commission story for details.)

She also fielded several questions from City Councilman Don Becker.

GOP base grows for Davis in race OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (AP) — Democratic challenger Paul Davis said Tuesday that more than 500 Republican dissidents support him in the Kansas governor’s race, while conservative GOP Gov. Sam Brownback sought to convey unity with a packed luncheon and endorsement from a well-known former corporate CEO. Both candidates had campaign events in Wichita and the Kansas City suburb of Overland Park with the Nov. 4 election only three weeks away. Davis led in most polls during the summer, but recent independent polling shows the race has tightened in Brownback’s favor in their Republican-leaning state.

“We’re both campaigning with Republicans. He’s campaigning with Republicans from California and New Jersey and out of state, and I’m campaigning with Republicans from Kansas.

— Paul Davis, Democratic candidate

Davis had a news conference in Overland Park with leaders of the dissident group, Republicans for Kansas Values, to tout the backing of about 180 mostly former elected GOP officials and about 360 educators, local school board members

and local business and community leaders.

The Democratic challenger made a national splash in July by announcing the dissident group’s formation with about 100 ex-GOP elected ofSee DAVIS | Page A3

Among Becker’s queries: — Are there plans for new sports facilities at the school site?

While the new schools would have gymnasiums and practice areas, the bond does not include money for football, baseball, softball, track and field or other competition facilities, Taylor responded.

— Why does the district need more than 90 acres for the schools?

With one elementary school for pre-kindergarten up through sixth grade students, sufficient space surrounding the building is necessary to segregate car and bus traffic, Taylor said.

Additionally, some space

near the high school would be reserved for a new middle school years down the road.

— Will the old schools be torn down?

Each of the old buildings will be put up for sale for a year or so, Taylor said, with one company already expressing interest in using Lincoln and Jefferson elementaries as senior housing complexes.

If the buildings don’t sell, they will be demolished, with playground equipment remaining. The high school gymnasium, commons area and lecture hall, built in 1989, would be kept.

“They’d like to sell them, but there is bond money to See TAYLOR | Page A4

COUNTY

Thrive directors back new schools initiative

By BOB JOHNSON The Iola Register

Alan Weber told Allen County commissioners Tuesday the Thrive Allen County board of directors recently voted to unanimously support bond and sales tax issues to build new elementary and high schools.

Weber, county counselor, is a member of the Thrive board and was prompted to announce Thrive’s support after Jen Taylor, chair of the committee supporting the school issue, came to visit with com-

“I’m not here seeking an endorsement,” Taylor said, rather to share an economic impact study that showed what effect construction and the new schools would have on the local economy.

The report said construction activity would pump $59.6 See COUNTY | Page A2

Gas will move slowly on community center

By BOB JOHNSON The Iola Register

GAS — Gas council members voted unanimously Tuesday evening to postpone efforts to attract a Community Development Block Grant to make improvements to the old Gas school.

An engineering study proposed about $272,000 would be required to bring the school up to snuff as a community center, including meeting Americans with Disabilities Act requirements.

The city would be required to fund a $130,000 match, said Mayor Dar-

rel Catron.

“That’s out of our league,” Catron said.

Instead, council members agreed to have city employees do upgrades as revenue permits.

City Superintendent Steve Robb said he thought a used chair lift could be found and an access ramp could be made locally to give full access to the school’s gymnasium for those who have trouble negotiating stairs.

The engineering report put the cost for those features at $35,000, including installation.

Councilman Larry Robertson said earlier he could refit a restroom

to make it fully accessible for far less than the $30,000 proposed in the study.

As for the roof, Robb agreed its replacement would cost about $70,000, but allowed that with repairs of what was in place it should last “for quite a while.”

Patches already made have curbed leaks.

About half the roof is shingled, the remainder covered with a rubber membrane.

Replacement of sidewalks, updated drainage and cosmetic work also will be done by Gas employees.

Robb said the study found no significant

problems with asbestos, lead paint or mold in the building.

A public hearing on the proposed grant scheduled for Thursday evening was canceled.

In other news, council members were told an audit of 2013 financial records found no problems and that “your city is in about as good a condition as any I work with,” said Dennis Edwards, Holton accountant.

City Clerk Rhonda Hill said 30 stray cats that had been a nuisance were live-trapped by agents of the Kansas Department of Agriculture and taken away.

ACC brings back farm, computer classes

By KAYLA BANZET The Iola Register

Changes in the school’s curriculum were presented at Tuesday night’s meeting of Allen Community College board of trustees.

Jon Marshall, vice president for academic affairs, said some classes previously taught have been brought down from their shelves, dusted off, and given a new cover.

Courses that will come back to life are farm and ranch records, and

a link essentials computer course. Some of the classes will be taught online. Other changes included renaming courses in order to facilitate their transfer to universities easier. The board voted unanimously for the curriculum changes.

Iola Dean Tosca Harris said the Kansas Board of Regents approved a degree for associate in science with entrepreneurship emphasis.

Trustee Spencer Ambler proposed a new holiday policy and procedure.

The board authorized the closing of the college for holidays listed in the new policy. An addition to the policy reads that the employees of the college will observe winter break from Dec. 21 through Jan. 1.

Neil Phillips from Jarred, Gilmore and Phillips accountants said the company’s audit of the college’s finances was good.

The trustees met Rachel Janson, the new assistant women’s basketball coach. Janson is

from Oklahoma City and played at Southern Nazarene with coach Katie Mahone. She has coached at other colleges and has her master’s in sports administration.

Kent Tomson was also introduced. He is the new director of physical plant operations. Tomson previously worked for the City of Iola in the electric distribution department for 32 years.

The art department will host its family fun night on Thursday at 6 p.m. at the college.

million into Iola’s economy, create 196 jobs during the construction phase and generate $20.4 million in salaries for area construction and other workers.

The project would create an estimated $5.1 million in local taxable sales and generate revenue of $115,988 for Iola and Allen County, according to the study done by Impact DataSource, an Austin, Texas, company. The consulting company has done similar analyses in 36 states over 20 years.

Taylor said rumors and incorrect information were the biggest obstacles to their campaign to build new schools in Iola. However, she is optimistic and thinks the promotion campaign “is going well.”

She encouraged commissioners and others to avail themselves of information about the project through meetings scheduled in LaHarpe at 7 p.m. Oct. 23 at the town’s City Hall and Oct. 30 at McKinley Elementary School.

Commissioner Jim Talkington asked what Taylor thought would occur if either of the tax issues failed; both have to pass for the project to proceed.

“I know there’s not one vote on the board of education to remodel,” Taylor said, an approach that “wouldn’t solve problems.” She noted low teacher salaries and old buildings make it difficult to attract teachers.

As for her role, Taylor told the county she was “volunteered by my mother” to head the promotional effort. “I have four children and I have been a volunteer in the schools every week for seven years. I know the problems,” from physical deficiencies to overcrowding that forces student-teacher interaction in closets and hallways.

“Remodeling doesn’t solve problems,” Tay-

lor observed because of the limited space in each school. None of the schools are ADA compliant and therapists are forced to work with students in hallways and closets. “It would not be good use of tax money.”

If the two votes are approved, Carl Slaugh, Iola administrator, shed light on how the city would use its quartercent portion of a halfcent sales tax. The school district would use its half to fund construction of the schools.

He said utilities would be extended to the 90-acre site north of Oregon Road and on either side of the Prairie Spirit Trail. The city already has rights to provide sewer, gas and electric services and would add water once the area is annexed, which the city has plans to do, he said.

Also, Slaugh said sales tax revenue would be used to extend Cottonwood Street north through Cedarbrook

Golf Course to give direct vehicle access to the schools.

“We’re drawing up plans” for the street extension, which would include sidewalks on either side, he added.

As for alterations to Oregon Road to provide better and safer access,

ficials as members. The event in Overland Park and follow-up news conferences in Wichita and Topeka touting the split within the Republican Party were designed to recapture that earlier buzz.

About 450 people packed a luncheon at a Wichita hotel to hear speeches by Brownback and former HewlettPackard CEO Carly Fiorina, who endorsed the governor and praised the same fiscal policies that Davis has criticized. Fiorina, who ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate in California in 2010, also Brownback appeared w i t h Brownback at an evening banquet in Overland Park, with both events sponsored by Women for Brownback and Kansas House Republicans.

“Now is not the time for a protest vote,” Fiorina told the crowd.

Fiorina’s visit came a day after New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, the chairman of the Republican Governors Association, traveled to Wichita for a campaign stop with Brownback.

“We’re both campaigning with Republicans,” Davis said after his event in Topeka.

“He’s campaigning with Republicans from California and New Jersey and out of state, and I’m campaigning with Republicans from Kansas.”

Davis is wooing moderate Republicans and u n a f filiated voters wo r r i e d about tax cuts enacted at Paul Davis Brownback’s urging, which have dropped the state’s top personal income tax rate by 26 percent and exempted the owners of 191,000 businesses from income taxes altogether. Brownback contends the reductions are boosting the economy, but the Legislature’s nonpartisan research staff predicts a $260 million budget shortfall by July 2016.

“This election is not about electing a Democrat or a Republican,” said Dick Bond, a Republican former Kansas Senate President who supports Davis. “It’s about electing a moderate, common sense Kansan as governor.”

But Clay Barker, the state GOP’s executive director, noted that the dissident Republicans are a tiny fraction of the state’s more than 765,000 registered GOP voters.

“It was the same, old, worn-out talking points.

Nothing new,” Barker said.

Taylor: Updates city council on benefits of new schools Continued from A1

have them torn down,� and the property landscaped, Taylor said. — Will removing schools from downtown Iola adversely affect property values of nearby homes.

Taylor said she posed that exact question to local appraiser Larry Wilson.

His response: “Absolutely not.� “He’s done lots of appraisals in Chanute around where the schools used to be, and there was no negative impact on property values.� — Why not convert Iola Middle School into an elementary school, while building one campus for junior and senior high school students only?

The IMS complex is not big enough, nor is there enough adjoining land — without condemning nearby properties — for a single elementary school, Taylor said. The bond includes

spending about $1 million to maintain the middle school for now because adding it to the construction project would have made it too expensive to sell bonds. — Will the district take steps to ensure roofs of new facilities won’t leak? “I can comment on that,� Becker said, answering his own question. “Roofs only leak for three reasons: 1. Design is wrong; 2. Installation was wrong; 3. it has not been properly maintained. I know flat roofs don’t have to leak, ever. It’s just a matter of doing it wrong. You get what you inspect, not what you expect.� — Why do the schools apparently have mold now, and not 10 or 20 years ago? “I worked at school maintenance for 18 years,�

Councilman Gene Myrick interjected. “Mold has always been an issue, but not as widely publicized as it is now because of the number of health concerns.

They’re making more of an issue now than they did 15 or 20 years ago.�

Taylor noted mold and water issues stem from groundwater.

Taylor said new facilities would offer up more efficiency in the forms of lower utility costs and fewer expenses for such things as curriculum materials, to the tune of nearly $700,000 annually.

Software licenses must be purchased per site.

With fewer buildings, fewer licenses would be required. “I’d hope the district would have money to maintain new schools,�

Becker concluded. “If we don’t, we’d wind up in the same place. I understand what you’re saying, but I’m not quite satisfied with that.� “If we build another school in another 100 years, I’d think that’s pretty successful,�

Councilman Jon Wells interjected. “The maintenance is great, but (the high school) is still a 100year old building. “Nobody likes old

buildings in town — well, maybe, except for Donna (Houser) — than I do,� Wells continued. “I have a fond appreciation. I’ve devoted my life to the study of the past.

I think they’ve done a great job of keeping up the buildings. Pretty buildings are great, but that’s not the function of education any more. “I know we generally stay neutral,� Wells continued. “There’s a favorite quote of mine from Dante. To paraphrase: ‘There’s a special place in hell for those who don’t choose sides.’ I’m firmly in support and have been from day one.

This has been a heated issue, and I’d like to commend everybody on the civil discourse.� — Would the city need to widen or extend roads to accommodate the new schools?

City Administrator Carl Slaugh said a traffic study will be completed if the bond issue passes to determine if a turning lane is necessary at Oregon, or if State

Tuesday evening, with members Bob Shaughnessy and Nancy Ford absent.

Iola took over operations for the entire county in January.

Coinciding with the pact were several personnel maneuvers Tuesday by the city regarding fire and EMS employees.

The resignations of Andrew Fournell, James Jerome, Elizabeth Drake and Trevor Shannon were accepted. City councilmen approved the hiring of Justin Benton and Terry Skaggs.

Council members also approved a 2.5 percent raise for EMS director Ryan Sell as part of the city’s new wage study adjustment.

As with the original contract, both sides have a six-month, opt-out clause. If the city votes to opt out, it cannot operate an ambulance service through the duration of the contract.

The new contract gives the city a clearer picture of what year-end budget

transfers will be necessary for Iola to remain in accordance with the state’s cash-basis budget laws, Slaugh said.

THE IOLA Police Department will add a new officer with proceeds from a federal Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) grant.

The grant will provide the department with about $120,000 over the next three years, while the city matches $93,712.

At the conclusion of the three years, the city will have the option of keeping the officer on staff or terminating his employment.

Police Chief Jared Warner said the grant money also would be used to promote an existing officer to the role of detective.

Council members voted, 6-0, to accept the grant.

THE COUNCIL reap-

pointed several city officials, including Warner, for the next two years.

Also reappointed were City Clerk Roxanne Hut-

ton, Fire Chief Tim Thyer, Municipal Judge Thomas Saxton and City Treasurer Debra Troxel.

Their terms run through September 2016.

Other personnel actions approved Tuesday included the hiring of Austin Ryman and Ryan Smith in the Gas, Water and Wastewater Departments and the resignation of Eric Keagle from the Water Production Department.

Council members also approved the purchase of an electric system recloser.

A recloser is a circuit breaker equipped with a mechanism that would prevent several locations in east Iola from being affected by power outages outside of town.

Of particular concern are outages in Gas that also cut power along several businesses along East and Kentucky streets.

Council members approved purchase of a recloser system from KrizDavis for $18,594.29. The Kriz-Davis bid was the highest of three received,

by about $1,500, but its system was considered the most reliable of the three.

Members of Grace Lutheran Church will sponsor a “Trunk or Treat� on Halloween from 4:30 to 6 p.m. in the church parking lot.

At their Oct. 2 meeting, the women’s church group also made plans for the annual LWML Bazaar which will be from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., Nov. 8 at the church.

A fall workshop will be from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Nov. 1 in Girard.

In observance of Pastor Appreciation Month Pastor Bruce Kristalyn was presented a gift and card to express the church’s thanks and appreciation for his ministry and work at Grace Lutheran.

Slaugh said the city’s electrical engineer consultant recommended the Kriz-Davis system as

ambulance safety along North Kentucky during icy weather. — Myrick asked if local vendors and contractors would be used during construction.

The aim is to include as much local participation as possible, Taylor responded, noting roughly 15 companies responded to a school meeting with local businesses earlier this month.

She noted Universal Construction, the construction manager, is helmed by Steve Smith, an Iola High graduate, who has expressed an interest in finding locals to help with the project.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

KS future compromised: More cuts to education coming Troubles in the Kansas budget have quite worrisome implications for our state’s future. Kansas revenue dropped precipitously after the implementation of dramatic tax policy changes, causing budget problems that already affect Kansas classrooms and other state services, but the profound effect is yet to come.

Education funding for students has dropped already, but with school finance such a large part of the state’s general fund spending — 50 percent — it’s a likely target for even more cuts as lawmakers struggle with a very large budget imbalance.

A quick run through the

Duane Goossen

numbers: In the just completed fiscal year 2014, state revenue dropped $688 million from the year before, and Kansas spent $329 million more than it took in.

Now, three months into fiscal year 2015, revenue remains below last year’s levels, placing the state on a track to spend more than

$650 million above receipts.

Except, that cannot happen.

The state’s savings account does not have enough money left to cover the difference between rising expenses and falling revenue.

Somehow revenue and expenses will have to be brought back together this year and in future years, but the fix is far from simple.

Even more income tax rate reductions are scheduled to kick in all the way through 2018, further depressing receipts, but spending reductions have already brought the base amount per pupil for funding schools down $548 from where it once was.

Why is this important?

Won’t lawmakers solve this?

Yes, they must find a solution, but the magnitude of the problem is so large that all of the state’s political energy will be required to address it. Our efforts as a state must now go toward figuring out how to downsize, how to cut back, how to get by, rather than develop and grow. Our neighboring states are being given an opportunity to push past us.

Other states ask: “How can we invest to make our schools the best?” while in Kansas we try to figure out how to get even more kids into a classroom.

No area is more important than public education. Kan-

Dear editor,

tion comes from their educators and not the structures.

We do believe that there are repairs that need to be completed to our existing schools. We believe that those costs will be far less than currently budgeted by the Board of Education, once actual contractors walk through these buildings and can see what repairs are actually necessary.

We vote no because we care about our elderly population.

The men and women of our community, who have worked, lived, raised families and have now retired right here in Iola.

We believe that we need to do the best we can for this 22 percent of our population and abate their financial burden, not increase it.

We vote no because we believe in the small businesses in Iola. We are voting in favor of keeping the traffic inside our square. We know that location is crucial to the strength of these businesses. We want to see Iola grow and our present family-owned businesses thrive. We also want to encourage others to take the leap into small business. We believe that building a new school on the outskirts of town will have devastating effects on our downtown businesses.

Our forefathers were correct in their methods of building a town. Industry should be on the outskirts; homes, schools, local businesses and the town square providing the core of the community. The heart of our community resides in our schools and in our local businesses. By moving the elementary schools and the high school to the proposed site we would leave a hole where the heart of our town resides, a hole that no park, nor a bus shelter, building trades home or even assisted living quarters can fill.

We vote no because we believe in the importance of fine arts in the education of a child. We know that including them in school curriculum is an essential part of achieving success in school, work and life. We know that moving fine arts out of the Bowlus goes against the will of Thomas Bowlus, and is detrimental to the long-term success of our children.

We vote no because we believe in the 18 percent of our population who live in poverty.

We believe that they deserve the

chance to overcome their economic challenges. We believe a vote no will keep housing costs where they are. We believe that raising the property tax on industry might be the incentive that two of our biggest employers in Iola need to pull out of Iola. We know that two of our largest industries have been sold to companies that have no ties with Iola or even the United States. Although we cannot predict what these companies will do despite the outcome of the bond issue, we believe that voting no is the best option for keeping industry here.

We vote no because we believe that new industry is not brought to a community solely because of new schools. We believe that new industry will not be attracted to our community because of new school buildings. We know that industry is brought to communities who show an outstanding quality of education, who value the history of their town and whose people use innovative thinking to keep their schools alive and thriving.

We vote no because we believe we can do better than the proposed school bond issue. I believe that nothing is impossible. We know that the bond money is in no danger of disappearing within the next two voting periods, before legislators would ever meet again to vote on pulling the 51 percent bond. We believe that the bond money is in no danger of disappearing. This is not our “last, best chance.”

We vote no because we believe there is a solution to our schools that is not accompanied by a $50 million price tag and an increase in sales tax. We know that there is a solution that will look after the needs of all of the citizens in District 257. We believe there is a solution that will keep our schools where they are, that will allow our senior population to breath easy, that will give the downtown a chance to revitalize and thrive once again, that will help those who live in poverty see a way out and that will allow the children in our community to keep their neighborhood schools and receive the best education that they deserve.

On Nov. 4, please vote No on the school bond issue and the city sales tax and help us do better.

Tracy Call-Keagle, Iola, Kan.

Dear editor,

thought that the school system here had a zero tolerance to bullying. We were told that several students had talked about this problem. Until the teachers and the complete staff keep an eye on signs of bullying we are not inclined to vote yes. Bullying happens everywhere, but to allow it to continue is not acceptable.

Jim and Martha Heffernon, Iola, Kan.

sas has enjoyed excellent schools which have attracted newcomers to the state and kept people here. Yet, in the present environment, schools have had to pull back, and the state’s financial outlook does not leave a way to fix that, or invest and improve.

Kansans, we’ve allowed ourselves to be placed on a financial path that leads our state backward rather than into the future, a future that belongs to Kansas schoolchildren.

Duane Goossen is a former Kansas budget director for three Kansas governors and currently writes a blog.

Letters to the editor Dear editor,

First, I do not believe Iola needs new schools. The yellow signs with dark lettering say it well: “Fix Our Schools — DO NOT Destroy Them — Vote NO in Nov.” This is something we the voters get to decide. The fact that the State of Kansas will fund 51 percent is our tax money being given back. Will the state eventually tax to rebuild this giveaway fund?

The state does not print or make money. They tax. Why don’t we consider and promote repairing the city’s aging water mains, etc. and get a grocery store for Iola?

As in the past, we are continually told the janitorial/ maintenance personal in the public facilities are instructed to not fix and repair said buildings. The board, council or committee will make all the necessary arguments for a new facility. This mentality must stop. If your car needs an oil and filter change, brake shoes replaced or a broken belt replaced, do you go out and buy a new car? Do home owners buy a new home when the furnace goes out, windows need repaired or you need to repair the roof ? NO, most citizens try to keep their property repaired as needed. Every year those in charge of our public buildings should determine what is the most urgent needed repair, fix or up grade and work towards the determined goal.

Iola’s population is declin-

ing. Therefore, the tax base continues to get smaller.

There is a large retired population on fixed incomes.

Some of those have to decide if they can buy groceries or their medications. Young families who always struggle to make ends meet. There are those who rely on Federal and/or State assistance and those who rent (not paying property tax). All the above will feel the increases in expenses. Even those who rent may be subject to higher rent due to the landlord’s increase in property taxes.

Property taxes are not the only thing that increases. We keep hearing this or that utility needs to increase. A week ago, a store associate said that most all groceries had taken a x-percent increase.

Not all grocery increases are price increases; some are a reduction in size. Example: less ounces for same price and shorter length (same diameter) of Charmin’s Mega roll of toilet tissue — same price.

Iola has many small businesses who are already struggling with the poor economy.

If more taxes are required there is a very real possibility that some of these may have to close.

The bottom line is can you as citizen/taxpayer take on more taxes and expenses?

Each taxpayer must decide for themselves how to vote.

Respectively, Judy Snavely, Iola, Kan.

A vote no on the proposed school bond issue is not a vote against our children. It is not a vote against education. It is not a vote against progress.

A vote no on the proposed school bond issue is a vote for our children. We believe that children thrive in a small school setting. The National Association of Elementary School Principals has found that elementary school children thrive in a school setting of no more than 400 students. (http:www.naesp.org).

This size of school fosters a nurturing environment for children to learn. It lends a feeling of safety and closeness to the child. The proposed elementary school capacity is more than double this amount.

We vote no because we believe that there are neighborhood schools. I know that 13 percent is the national average for children who walk to school. Iola’s average is 50 percent higher than the national average and we are working on getting those numbers even higher. We know that children who walk to school are apt to be healthier and more confident and more attentive in class.

We believe that the health and emotional benefits that walking and biking to school give children make our schools worth saving.

We vote no because we believe that the teacher is the most important asset for influencing your minds, but the buildings.

We believe that a quality education begins with quality teachers and innovative ways of teaching and thinking. We believe that children are capable of achieving great skills and learning inside of schools that are decades old, and have been doing so for years right here in our town. We believe that the most important interaction for our children and their educa-

There are a lot of pros and cons about a new school.

Many have committed on the advantage of a new school.

Some old problems will transfer to the new school.

Here recently we were talking to a friend who opened our eyes to a problem that exists to some degree in all schools.

She brought out the amount of bullying that goes on. We

UPSIDE-DOWN Kansas City Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas dives into dugout suites to catch a foul fly ball by the Baltimore Orioles' Adam Jones in the sixth inning in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., on Tuesday. The Royals won, 2-1, for a 3-0 series lead.

MCT/BALTIMORE SUN/KENNETH K. LAM

Royals take control of ALCS with 3-0 series lead

Kansas City remains unbeaten with improbable playoff run

By DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Mike Moustakas had his eye on the ball from the moment it left Adam Jones’s bat, tracking it against the bright lights of Kauffman Stadium. When it settled into his glove and he tumbled into a dugout suite, a dozen fans were waiting to pick him right back up.

Just like Moustakas has

picked up his team during its perfect postseason.

The third baseman with the four playoff homers dazzled with his glove Tuesday night.

And when Billy Butler drove in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly in the sixth inning, the long-downtrodden Kansas City Royals were on their way to a 2-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles and a commanding 3-0 lead in their AL Championship Series.

“It really did fire up the

whole stadium,” Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer said of his teammate’s circus catch.

“Hats off to the fans in the dugout suite, pick him up and put him back on the field. That was great. Moose finding ways to get it done.”

The entire team has found ways to get it done. The wildcard Royals have won 10 straight postseason games, including all seven this year, in their first playoff appearance in 29 years.

The only thing that’s slowed Kansas City so far was a rainout Monday.

“We’ve got a snowball effect going right now,” Butler said.

“The confidence couldn’t be any higher. That’s when you come to the park each day, focus on the next pitch, focus on your job and just not be the guy to end the streak.”

Fresh off a combined threehitter, Kansas City will send Jason Vargas to the mound for Game 4 on Wednesday, trying

to advance to its first World Series since 1985. Miguel Gonzalez will go to the mound for the Orioles.

“It’s hard to take advantage of mistakes when they’re not making any,” Orioles first baseman Steve Pearce said.

“This is tough, man. We’ve got one loss left. We’ve got to find a way to start pulling this out.

We got to find somebody to get it done.”

See ROYALS | Page B3

Humboldt volleyball splits HUMBOLDT — Humboldt High’s varsity volleyball team split its matches Tuesday night.

The Lady Cubs started with a three set loss to Eureka. Humboldt won the second set 25-12, but lost the first set 25-20 and the tiebreaker 29-27.

“We had our opportunities in this match,” coach Stephanie Splechter said. “We have to work on our decision-making at critical times.”

Breanna Kline had 14 kills to lead the team, as well as an assist and seven digs. AnSee HUMBOLDT | Page B3

RICHMOND — Iola High’s varsity volleyball team notched two more league wins to its resume Tuesday night.

Iola defeated host Central Heights 25-7 and 25-21. Emery Driskel had an ace and led the team with 11 kills. Emma Piazza had four kills and dished up 14 assists. Kyra Moore had five kills and four assists. Addie Haar had four kills, Ashlie Shields had two kills, Mikaela Platt and Sydney Wade each had a kill. Toni Macha had an

ace.

The Fillies also soundly beat Osawatomie 25-12 and 25-19. Shields served up four aces and had a kill. Haar had three aces and three kills.

Driskel had five kills, along with two aces. Moore had an ace and two kills, to go with nine assists. Piazza had three kills and six assists. Platt had three kills.

“With the exception of the last few points of the last game, I was proud of the level we played at,” coach Emily

Sigg said. “We've talked about how at this point in the season we need to play to our level of volleyball no matter who we play and to start playing from the first point. Tonight we did both of those.

“We should have a lot of good competition at the Anderson County tournament this weekend and are looking forward to it.”

Iola will travel to Garnett for the Anderson County Invitational on Saturday, starting at 9 a.m.

Roberts AWOL TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — While U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts has been playing up his endorsements from Kansas farm, crop and livestock organizations during his bid for reelection, federal records show he has attended barely one-third of all Senate Agriculture Committee meetings during the last 15 years.

Roberts, a three-term Republican from Dodge City, serves on the committee responsible for farm, nutrition and forestry issues. He also is a member of Senate committees devoted to health, education, labor and finance topics, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported.

According to documents from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Roberts showed up for only 71 of 201 agricultural committee sessions from 2000 to 2014, or 35.5 percent.

“Pat Roberts is a tireless warrior for Kansas agriculture,” said Corry Bliss, Roberts’ campaign manager.

KANSAS VS. NEBRASKA

Water dispute in court WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Tuesday considered how to resolve a longrunning legal fight between Kansas and Nebraska over the use of water from the Republican River.

The justices appeared to agree with recommendations of a special master who found that Nebraska should pay $3.7 million in damages to Kansas for using more than its legal share of the river’s water in 2005 and 2006.

But they were more doubtful about making Nebraska pay a $1.8 million penalty that exceeds Kansas’ actual damages.

The justices also seemed skeptical of the special master’s suggestion that the court could change a formula for measuring water consumption.

Nebraska claims the formula is unfair.

Concerns about water usage are becoming more common as drought conditions have hurt Western and Plains states and forced officials to divvy up a more limited water supply to growing populations.

Earlier this year, the Supreme Court ruled that Texas can proceed with

a lawsuit to stop New Mexico from pumping groundwater from the Rio Grande.

Since 1999, Kansas has complained that Nebraska uses more than its fair share of water from the Republican River, which originates in Colorado and runs mostly through Nebraska before ending in Kansas. The dispute centers on a 1943 compact that allocates 49 percent of the river’s water to Nebraska, 40 percent to Kansas and 11 percent to Colorado.

Legal disputes between states are filed directly with the Supreme Court, which typically appoints a special master to consider the evidence and make recommendations to the justices.

Kansas Solicitor General Stephen McAllister argued that making Nebraska pay $1.8 million on top of actual damages was needed “to get their attention.” The state has also demanded more than $72 million in additional damages and an order that would shut down irrigation pumps for more than 300,000 acres of Nebraska farmland along the river basin.

KU patient Ebola-free KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Preliminary tests show that a man who came to the University of Kansas Hospital with Ebola-like symptoms does not have the deadly disease, but he is being treated for another, still unspecified tropical disease, hospital officials said Tuesday.

“The preliminary results are very, very encouraging,” Norman said, adding that the patient was gaining strength and showing some improvement.

Royals: One win away from World Series Continued from B1

The Orioles are the 34th team to trail 3-0 in a bestof-seven major league postseason series — the only team to come back and win was the Boston Red Sox in the 2004 ALCS against the Yankees, STATS said.

“It’s been done before, so that gives you a chance,” Jones said.

“We’ve won four games before. Obviously, not in this situation. But we’ve won four games, four games, four games. So start tomorrow, start in the first inning and get some runs on the board.”

The Royals’ Jeremy Guthrie and Orioles’ Wei-Yin Chen hooked up in a tense pitching duel for five innings Tuesday night, and the game was still 1-all when Chen gave up a leadoff single to Nori Aoki in the sixth. Eric Hosmer followed with a one-out single to put runners on the corners, and Orioles manager Buck Showalter brought in hardthrowing reliever Kevin Gausman.

Butler greeted him with a fly ball to left field for the tiebreaking run — just the latest example of Kansas City doing all the little things right.

One of the best bullpens in baseball took care of the rest.

Winning pitcher Jason

Frasor breezed through the sixth, and Kelvin Herrera and Wade Davis nailed down the next two innings. Greg Holland worked a perfect ninth for his third save of the series, setting off a wild celebration in the stands.

In all, Kansas City pitchers retired the final 16 batters.

It was the 13th game to be decided by one run this postseason, matching the record set in 2011 and tied last year.

Six games have gone to extra innings, including the Giants’ 5-4, 10-inning victory over the Cardinals hours earlier in the NLCS. “I wish I didn’t have so much stake in it,” Showalter said dryly. “I’d probably enjoy watching both teams play more than I do.”

After failing to take the lead in the first two games of the series, Baltimore managed to strike first this night, temporarily silencing a frigid, flag-waving capacity crowd.

It happened in the second inning, when Pearce and J.J. Hardy hit backto-back doubles for a 1-0 lead. Guthrie wiggled out of the jam, though, and grinded through five innings against his former team in his first start since Sept. 26.

Chen matched him pitch-for-pitch until the fourth, when the Royals put together one of their quintessential innings: a pair of bloop singles, a walk and a tying RBI groundout.

The Royals played catch up with their gloves, too.

Moustakas made a diving grab to rob Pearce of a single in the fourth.

Then in the sixth, he

tracked that popup by Jones into foul territory, steadied himself at a railing near the dugout, then extended himself to catch the ball and tumbled into the stands.

“They were both tremendous plays,” Royals manager Ned Yost said.

The blue-clad crowd rose to its feet to give Moustakas a rousing cheer, and many fans were still standing when

Butler drove in the goahead run in the bottom half of the inning.

By the time the Royals’ “Big Three” of Herrera, Davis and Holland had closed it out, the Royals were on the verge of another postseason sweep.

“We’ve got to zone in on the task at hand,” Holland said. “They’re not going to lay down.

We understand that.”
