Officials party to discussions said the most likely targets for cuts are Arizona and California farmers. Ag ricultural districts in those states are asking to be paid generously to bear that burden. But the tentative agreements fall short of what the Bureau of Reclamation has de manded and state offi cials say they hope for more time to negotiate details.The Colorado Riv er cascades from the Rocky Mountains into the arid deserts of the Southwest.

But climate change has transformed the riv er’s hydrology, provid ing less snowmelt and causing hotter tempera tures and more evapora tion. As the river yield ed less water, the states agreed to cuts tied to the levels of reservoirs that store its water. Last year, officials for the first time declared a water shortage, trigger ing cuts to Nevada, Arizo na and Mexico’s share of the river to help prevent the two largest reservoirs — Lake Powell and Lake Mead — from dropping low enough to threaten hydropower production and stop water from flow ing through their dams. The proposals for supplemental cuts due this week have inflamed disagreement between upper basin states — Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming — and lower basin states — Arizona, California and Nevada — over how to spread the pain. The lower basin states use most of the water and have thus far shouldered most of the cuts.

Extreme heat this year has triggered wildfires, drought and melting glaciers. Less expectedly, it’s also revealed some weird and dark things about our past — shipwrecks, corpses, ghost villages, orna mental gardens and ancient cities. Here’s a look at some of those discoveries. Roman remains Italy’s drought has re vealed artifacts from World War II and a glimpse of life underMonthsNero.without rain and an earlier-than-usual halt in flows from melting snow in the Alps depleted the Riv er Po — Italy’s longest riv er — to its lowest level in 70 years. The dried-up riverbed revealed previously hidden World War II-era wreckage such as a German tank and cargo ships. In Rome, meanwhile, drought sapped the River Tiber and unveiled a bridge that’s thought to have been built during Emperor Nero’s rule. This summer’s extreme ly hot and dry conditions in Italy forced the government to declare a state of emergen cy in July. Spanish ghost village A town stuck in the early 1990s has re-emerged in Gali cia,Aceredo,Spain. a village near Spain’s border with Portugal, was flooded in 1992 to make room for the Alto Lindoso res ervoir. In February — about 30 years later — drought re-exposed the small town. Soon, tourists began flocking to see a place frozen in time. Scientists expect Galicia to continue suffering from extreme dry spells. “Rainfall and drought patterns are al ways more complex, more difficult to predict scientif ically,” said Jofre Carnicer, Barcelona-based climate re searcher and an author of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s sixth assessment. “The risk of drought in the next decades in this area will increase.” Grim discoveries Lake Mead unveils a creepy collection of the desert’s his tory.Some U.S. reservoirs that should’ve brimmed with snowmelt in the spring in stead had bathtub rings of dry dirt, including Lake Mead. The lake fell this year to a record low. Lake Mead — the mas sive reservoir at the iconic Hoover Dam — has shrunk to a fraction of its former self to become a site of ghoulish curiosity. Visitors have come across everything from sunken boats to dead bodies. “We could find everything from a missing jet ski to more bod ies,” said Michael Green, an associate professor of history at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. “As the water re cedes, we will find more.” The human remains dis covered at the site include a body in a barrel, according to the U.S. National Park Ser vice.

Opinion A5 The Iola Register Tuesday, August 16, 2022
MANY REGARD Mr. Trump’s presumptuous attitude when it comes to rules as emblematic of strength. Or even endear ing. He is what he is. You know where he stands. But storing defense-re lated information at his home can put the country in jeopardy, and, if it falls into the wrong hands, aid a foreign adversary. Rather than question the FBI’s authority to search Mr. Trump’s Mar-aLago estate, the more per tinent question should be why the former president should be given a pass to break the law. Recent calls by conser vative extremists to “de fund” or “destroy” the FBI and to attack federal offi cials and facilities are mis guided, and dangerous. The law, and the people who uphold it, are there for our safekeeping. To make exceptions only weakens our democracy.
~ Journalism that makes a difference We now know the FBI’s seizure on former Pres ident Donald Trump’s home was not merely a fishing expedition. Last week, federal agents seized 11 boxes that included top secret and even higher-level classi fiedEvermaterials.sinceMr. Trump’s Jan. 20, 2021 departure, officials with the Nation al Archives have tried re peatedly to secure the ma terial. Earlier this year, he handed over 15 boxes, fail ing to divulge there were more.Itwas only after an in formant tipped off the FBI to the additional boxes that a federal judge autho rized last week’s search. Every president is re quired to leave behind any and all documents pertain ing to their duties — clas sified or Presidentsnot. are under the employ of the people, not unto themselves. The documents under discus sion are not Mr. Trump’s, but those of the people and as such should be housed in the National Archives. That the documents are suspected to include top security information and viewed only under high security, makes their cava lier treatment all the more worrisome. WE KNOW how to re spond to the situation be cause former President Richard Nixon tried a sim ilarAlmosttactic.40 years ago, Mr. Nixon resigned in disgrace in the wake of the Water gate scandal. Upon leaving office, Mr. Nixon wanted to take documents and re cordings that detailed the steps he and others took in response to the investiga tion that found them guilty of breaking into the Demo cratic National Committee headquarters in 1972. Congress prevented Nix on and in 1978 created the Presidential Records Act which declared a presi dent’s documents are not only to remain in safe keeping, but will also be made available to the peo ple in 12 years time.
The exact whereabouts of the famous explorer’s ship was long unknown; it had been trapped and crushed by thick Antarctic sea ice in 1915. The 35-day mission was tough. The team had to navi gate choppy waters and still quite a bit of frozen hazards despite ice extent being be low average. Using an auton omous vehicle, the wreck was found more than 9,843 feet un derwater. Secret garden U.K. heat wave has un earthed a florid 17th century landscape.Extreme summertime heat in Britain has scorched the south lawn at a historic home in central England, revealing a hidden 17th century garden. Broad, ornate patterns can be seen on the lawn at Chats worth House in Derbyshire. Dubbed the Great Parterre, the extensive garden dates to 1699 and was once filled with flowerbeds and paths. By 1730, the ornate landscape was grassed over and because the new lawn has shorter roots it burns more quick ly. On July 26, Chatsworth logged a temperature of 100.6 — this was the highest on re cord for more than 100 years, according to information on the historic home’s site. Mesopotamian treasure A Bronze-Age empire’s ur ban center has reappeared in Iraq.From a dried-up area of Iraq’s Mosul reservoir this year, the ruins of an exten sive, ancient city surfaced. A team of Kurdish and German archeologists rushed to in vestigate the site of Kemune, an ancient city on the Tigris River that flourished under the Mitanni Empire from 1550 to 1350 B.C. — during the Bronze Age. The research team found ceramic vessels reportedly containing more than 100 cuneiform tablets. The dis covery could provide more details about the end of the Mitanni-period city and the start of Assyrian rule in the region. “It is close to a miracle that cuneiform tablets made of unfired clay survived so many decades under water,” said University of Tübingen Professor Peter Pfälzner, who was part of the rescue exca vations at Kemune, in a press release. Hunting relics Melting glaciers have un covered millennium-old arti facts in Norway. In the high mountains of Norway, odd artifacts uncov ered by glacial archaeologist Lars Pilø and his team at the Glacier Archaeology Pro gram included a woolen tu nic from the Iron Age as well as a Roman-style shoe and a well-preserved arrow with fletching still attached from the years 300 to 600. The ar row is a relic from a reindeer hunting site. “With the continued melt of high mountain ice, we expect to see more sites ap pearing and even older finds melting out,” said Pilø, whose team has found thousands of Iron Age and the Early Me dieval Period items from ice sites across Norway over the last 15 years. “We are melting back in time, as the ice re treats.”

— Susan Lynn Making exceptions to laws weakens them New York’s Chautauqua Institution describes itself as “a community of artists, ed ucators, thinkers, faith lead ers and friends dedicated to exploring the best in human ity.”On Friday morning, the worst in humanity came calling on Chautauqua, New York, when an assailant rushed the stage and attacked the great author Salman Rushdie, stabbing him sever al times, it appeared, in the neck. It was immediately ap parent that his injuries were grievous.Rushdie, who refused to be cowed by a 1989 fatwa from the Ayatollah Ruhollah Kho meini, who did not care for one of Rushdie’s books, lived a profoundly self-examined life, out and about, eschewing security, engaging with his readers, giving speeches and supporting authors’ rights and free speech all across the planet.Forthe courageous Rush die, 75, to be so brutally at tacked in a peaceful place ded icated to the exchange of free thought, beggars belief. More worrying still, this is not the first time of late a speaker has been physically assaulted while delivering comments to an American audience, not the first time of late that someone who disagreed with something some one said decided that violence was an acceptable re sponse.These are cow ardly acts against soft targets, reli ant on surprise and with no place whatsoever in a mature democracy. We abhor all of them. Whatever our political or re ligious beliefs, we must stand togeth er against them. We herald Rush die’s artistry, intel lect, literary prow ess and compassion for his fellow travel ers.In “The Satanic Verses,” Rushdie wrote of the poet’s work: “to name the unname able, to point at frauds, to take sides, start arguments, shape the world, and stop it going to Exactly.sleep.”Godspeed to him.

The state’s elections director gave a west ern Kansas woman until 5 p.m. Monday to provide cash, a val id check or a credit card with a sufficient balance to cover the $229,000 in expected costs for the state’s 105 counties. The re count request came Friday from Melissa Leavitt, an election conspiracy promoter from Colby, but Mark Gietzen, a recountthe“financialprovidedinCaskeytionsanstate’sfraud.2020claimshasDonaldoflyinhaveelectionthecantevidence165,000centageprevailedbanrestrictislaturecan-controlledlowedthatKansasamendmentjectedoverwhelminglycount.tofromanti-abortionhard-rightactivistWichita,pledgedhelppayforthereVotersonAug.2reaproposedtotheConstitutionwouldhavealtheRepubliLegtofurtherabortionorit.The“no”sideby18perpoints,orvotes.Therehasbeennoofsignifiproblemswithelection.BaselessconspiraciescirculatedwidelytheU.S.,particularamongsupportersformerPresidentTrump,whorepeatedfalsethathelosttheelectionthroughThesecretaryofofficereleasedemailfromElecDirectorBryantoLeavitt,whichhesaidsheGietzen’sassets”asbondtocoverthecosts.Caskey rejected that pledge but told Leavitt that she could narrow her recount request to spe cific counties to lower the potential costs.

Six-man football has sparked a unique and excit ing new brand of the sport with decreasing numbers of enrollment at a number of high schools across Kansas. The new format is now of ficially a Kansas State High School Activities Associa tion sanctioned classifica tion after numerous schools in the state were having trouble fielding teams in the 8-man football classification. This season, 26 high schools across the state will com pete for the first 6-man state championship. This is a jump from last season when 15 high schools were involved with the 6-man football format. “The reason it took so long is it took a little bit to grow,” said Golden Plains High School head coach Travis Smith. “KSHSAA put out a survey to see what the inter est was for other schools and when that number grew past 24 they got involved and have now taken it over.” The first school to start up 6-man football was Weskan High School in 2014. Le Roy’s Southern Cof fey County High School is the closest school to Iola to implement 6-man football. The change allows smaller schools to field competitive teams with plenty of alter nates.“As our numbers in this area started to dwindle, we were having trouble compet ing. With the smaller num bers it’s also hard to scrim mage. You’re not getting anything out of practice to prepare for games. We are trying to keep football in our schools.

CHICAGO (AP) — Pat rick Mahomes sure looked like he was ready to go. The one-time MVP, Super Bowl champion and four-time Pro Bowler made it look easy in his short time on the field. Mahomes threw for 60 yards and a touchdown on Kansas City’s first posses sion, then watched as the Chiefs lost to the Chicago Bears 19-14 in the preseason opener Saturday. “We did what we were sup posed to do,” Mahomes said. “We went out there, we were able to spread the football around, get a lot of different guys involved and found a way to get in the end zone.” The game was the first for Chicago’s Matt Eberflus as a head coach. It also marked the return to Soldier Field for predecessor Matt Nagy, now the Chiefs’ quarter backs coach. He was fired in January after leading the Bears to a 34-31 record in four seasons, then reunited with Andy Reid after previously working for him in Philadel phia and Kansas City. Chiefs safety Justin Reid showed he could be an emer gency kicker, nailing an ex tra point after Justin Watson caught a 22-yard touchdown from Shane Buechele in the closing seconds of the first half. Reid, who made a 65yard field goal in a training camp practice, sent the kick right through the middle of the uprights to make it 14-0. Reid said the coaches told him he might get an oppor tunity if he looked good practicing kicks during war mups.“Pregame went pretty well, and I got the opportu nity and it went down the middle,” he said. “That was awesome.”Mahomes had no trouble playing on a chopped-up field that drew heavy criticism

Chicago’s Justin Fields, trying to build on a shaky rookie season, was 4 of 7 for 48 yards. He played three possessions before veteran Trevor Siemian replaced him. “I think we can improve at everything,” Fields said. “Coming up on the ball, executing better. Of course there were plays where we didn’t execute as well as we wanted to, so just continually getting better each and every day and keep stacking these days.” SMITH WATCHES Smith ran and stretched during warmups and watched the game from the sideline. He threw down the gauntlet this week by going public with a trade request while insisting the Bears were not negotiating in good faith on an extension with his rookie contract expiring after this season. Management clapped back by removing him from the physically unable to perform list, opening up the possibility of fines for missing practices.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Len Dawson, the 87-year-old Hall of Fame quarterback who led the Kansas City Chiefs to their first Super Bowl title, has entered hospice care in Kansas City.
KMBC-TV, the Kansas City station where Dawson began his broadcasting career in 1966, confirmed Dawson is in hospice care through his wife, Linda.
The Fiesta Bowl - Grilled chicken, peppers, onions, corn topped with cheese pico. bed spring mix from the president of the NFL Players Association. He also picked apart a defense missing its two best players, with linebacker Roquan Smith in a contract standoff and the Bears holding out star pass rusher Robert Quinn. Mahomes was 6 of 7 passing on a 72-yard drive after Chicago went three-and-out on the game’s first possession. The completions were to six different receivers, which could be more of the norm after the Chiefs traded Tyreek Hill to Miami. Mahomes dumped the ball off to Blake Bell for a 5-yard TD, capping an 11-play possession — then called it a“Iday.think it’s gonna come from everywhere this year,” he said. “It’s gonna be hard for teams to game-plan against. ... I think the guys have kind of embraced that.”
The MVP of the Chiefs’ 23-7 Super Bowl victory over Minnesota in January 1970, Dawson was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1987 and received the Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Award in From2012.
CHICAGO (AP) — The president of the NFL Players Association blasted the conditions at Soldier Field on Saturday, and he didn’t exactly get an argument from the Chicago Bears or Kansas City Chiefs after their preseason game.Union president JC Tretter tweeted the field was not up to NFL“Thestandards.NFLsaid that this field met minimum testing standards,” he wrote. “We clearly need to re-evaluate what is an acceptable surface for players to compete on. We need new testing metrics looking at the performance and safety of every field. The NFL can and should doThebetter.” conditions didn’t seem to bother Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes. The four-time Pro Bowler threw for 60 yards and a touchdown on the Chiefs’ first possession and then called it a day.“Ithink they had a concert so there was some stuff here and there, but it wasn’t any crazy, bad (stuff) or anything like that,” he said. “I love playing here at Soldier Field. It’s an awesome stadium. You feel the history of it.” The conditions at Soldier Field have long been a source of frustration for players and coaches on the Bears as well as other teams. The lakefront location and harsh weather make maintaining the surface difficult for the Chicago Park District, which owns the stadium.The field was particularly choppy after Elton John performed there last weekend. Major League Soccer recently moved the Chicago Fire’s game against New York City FC scheduled for Aug. 21 to SeatGeek Stadium in suburban Bridgeview, Ill., because of conditions brought on by “a series of planned events at the venue.”Asfor how the field was on Saturday? “A lot better than my high school field looked,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid quipped. “Not much.”

BEARS RALLY Jack Sanborn had an interception and fumble recovery in the third quarter, leading to a touchdown and field goal.Siemian was 7 of 13 for 89 yards and two touchdowns. He threw a 12-yard TD to Trestan Ebner early in the third quarter after Sanborn picked off Buechele and a 13-yarder to Dazz Newsome that cut it to 14-13. Cairo Santos put Chicago on top 16-14 after Sanborn recovered a fumble by running back Derrick Gore and added a 47-yarder to bump the lead to five with about six minutes left in the game.“Ithink the guys did well,” Eberflus said. “Just an overarching view of it, the guys operated well, there were no pre-snap penalties, very few penalties at all. I thought the kicking game operated really nice. And really, the defense played well, you know, in the second half.” INJURIES Chiefs: Bell hobbled off the field with a hip injury after the Chiefs ran the ball on the first play of their second possession. ... RB Derrick Gore (neck) exited in the third.Bears: CB Jayson Stanley (knee) left after he was injured covering a punt in the second quarter. ... DB Michael Joseph (hamstring) limped off the field in the second after he landed awkwardly defending a pass. ... LB Javin White (knee) left in the third.

Remember Reid Sinnett’s 344 yards passing last August? He’s now a PhiladelphiaMcDanielEagle.wanted to learn something about his team Saturday. Namely, he wanted to see how it handled adversity, and maybe he could squint and see if it did after they rallied from an early deficit. That’s what preseason games are about — or at least what they once we about. The controlled practices against Tampa Bay are more important. Why? Because they’re controlled, meaning quarterbacks aren’t hit and medieval methods like cut blocking aren’t employed. “It’s a balancing act,” McDaniel said of sitting out players. “A lot goes into it. I talked to the players about it. I waited until Thursday evening.”He erred on the side of sonweekendriesLookhowconsequences.September’sAndcouldn’the?atthebigsto-fromthisfirstofpresea-games.Noneare about winning moments or big steps forward.

Tom Brady left Tampa Bay for a 10dayThat’shiatus.it. Those are the big stories. None involve McDaniel calling timeout at the final second before Tampa kicker Jose Borregales could attempt to win Sunday’s game. Borregales made that inconsequential field goal from 49 yards, too. But after McDaniel iced him Borregales’s kick struck the upright and the Dolphins won. So maybe McDaniel has the magic touch in his first season as an NFL coach?Ormaybe this is just a Saturday night workout where the cost of the ticket, the five hours of television programming and live betting are more consequential than any conclusion of either team. McDaniel said the one thing he wanted to see was how his team handled adversity. His team, the one he’ll count on, was mostly on the sideline. Tampa’s team was, too. It was left for Thompson to go out and have a good night. Another couple of games like that and he’ll be on the practice squad and we’ll be in September.

Before, we had our own association, we were 15 schools, but everybody knew it wasn’t sanctioned by the state. Now that it’s sanctioned by the state I really believe it will continue to grow,” Smith said. The 6-man football concept is completely different from 8-man and 11-man, at least according to Smith’s perspective. This is partly because the formations are more spread out and there is more running and open-field plays.As Kansas coaches learn and catch on to this style of football, other states’ coaches have been more than welcoming in teaching 6-man“Eight-manfootball. is really not that different from 11-man but once you get into 6-man, you’ve really got to study.
