Changes coming for Community Foundation

By BOB JOHNSON The Iola Register

In a meeting that lasted barely an hour, Allen County commissioners learned from Counselor Alan Weber the Allen County Community Foundation was being downsized.

He said Susan Michael, its director, would be leaving at the end of September. A decision will be made later about how administration will be handled — it may fall to Thrive Allen County.

He noted H&R Block did ac-

counting chores.

Weber also said Allen County Regional Hospital in recent months had been the recipient of two milliondollar distributions from the federal government, because of cost accounting in its new and upgraded quarters and installation of electronic medical records.

“We have cash in reserve,” Weber said, “and this year looks good.”

Humboldt honors vets

By BOB JOHNSON The Iola Register

HUMBOLDT — City Administrator Cole Herder told council members Monday evening a brick patio had been completed in front of the veterans memorial in the downtown square.

Names of veterans will replace blank bricks as they become available.

Herder noted the patio was constructed under the direction of Jeremy Bulk, who is involved with maintenance and code enforcement for the city.

Residents will be notified ahead of next week’s smoke testing of sewer mains, which has been delayed twice by heavy rain.

Local students learn about monarch butterflies

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

As countless monarch butterflies make their annual, flittering pilgrimage through the southern plains en route to Mexico, the colorful winged beauties have again caught the eye of Iolans young and old.

Especially Dixie Quincy.

While Quincy retired as a science teacher at Iola Middle School in 2000, she is always

Kincaid Free Fair returns

Moran celebrates harvest

KINCAID — For more than a century, the streets of Kincaid have swelled with hundreds of visitors, to the point that the town of 200 is estimated to have crowds of 4,000.

Organizers of the upcoming Kincaid Free Fair hope for a similar turnout this week, a bit earlier in the month than usual.

“It was usually the last weekend in September or the first weekend in October,” explained Kincaid Fair President Liz Drennan. “But we’ve had to move it up in order to schedule our carnival.”

As in years past, the schedule remains jam-packed, starting Thursday evening with a free bean feed and watermelon feed on Main Street, a children’s cash grab and pedal tractor pull.

Friday’s festivities include a turtle race open only for senior citizens — the all-age turtle race will be Saturday afternoon — and a pie baking contest and bingo games at the old city hall building.

THE FUN hits high gear Saturday, begin-

MORAN — The annual Moran Days festival will celebrate the “Harvest Moon” Saturday and Sunday with a number of games, activities and other local traditions.

The events open bright and early Saturday, with a biscuits and gravy breakfast served by the Marmaton Valley High School Family, Career and Community Leaders of America chapter.

Food will be served from 7 a.m. until supplies are exhausted.

A book sale begins at 8 o’clock outside the Moran Public Library before a bestdressed pet contest and arts and crafts show open at 9 o’clock at the Moran City Park. In addition, Humboldt Helicopters will offer rides for $25 apiece to give passengers an aerial glimpse of Moran and surrounding areas.

Moran’s Larry Manes and Nelda Cuppy are the grand marshals for the 11 a.m. parade, including a special rendition of the national anthem by Kay-

MORAN — Come meet the new coach. Same as the old coach.

A new, familiar face will man the helm of the Marmaton Valley High School boys basketball team.

Board of Education members accepted the resignation Monday of Tim Stinnett as Wildcat coach. In his stead is former head coach Dan Uhlrich.

Stinnett, who works for a local electric service company, found his schedule at work

crossed back over the road and hit another fence before entering a soybean field.

After that, Boeken again rounded the corner to Montana Road, when she lost control for the final time.

Deputies ordered Boeken to submit to a blood test to determine whether she was impaired or suffering from a medical condition at the time of the accidents. Those results have not yet been released.

“I want to live my life, not record it.”

conflicted with his upcoming coaching duties.

Uhlrich, a physical education instructor at Marmaton Valley, has served as head coach in both basketball and football at the high school and as football coach at the junior high.

In other business Monday, board members hired Justin Hurley as head track coach for the junior high; Karen Price as an activities custodian; and Jo Tucker as a part-time paraprofessional.

major fundraiser Saturday evening.

The inaugural Iola Bands Fall Festival will fill the Allen Community College Red Barn with games, food, prizes and thousands of dollars worth of donated items for a series of drawings.

The goal, Kleopfer said, is to raise $12,000 to fund a potential trip to the Big Apple next year for the famed Macy’s parade. (More on that later.)

Right now, the focus is on drumming up public support for Saturday’s fundraisers.

The events kick off at 5 p.m. Saturday at the Red Barn.

Among the attractions are inflatables, train rides, carnival games, snack stations for cotton candy, snocones and other treats, and food provided by Dudley’s BBQ. Wristbands giving youngsters unfettered access to all of the games cost $10 apiece, and can be purchased at the door. (Advance tickets sell for $7 at Westco until noon Thursday.)

Tire struck Amelia Stuart, Ottawa, was southbound on U.S. 169 Monday just south of Iola when she struck a tire that was in the roadway. No injuries were reported.

Coyote hit Samantha Maier, Olathe, was southbound on U.S. 169 at the east edge of Iola Monday when she struck a coyote in the roadway.

United Methodist Women’s group meets Marty Meadows and Lois Kerns hosted the Thursday meeting of the Wesley United Methodist Women.

The others will be in perfect formation but noticeably out of tune.

(To add to the authenticity, some of the students will perform on different instruments other than the ones they’ve studied previously.)

It should make for a memorable show, Kleopfer said.

Other performances include at homecoming Oct. 2, a joint performance with the IMS band Oct. 9, and the final presentation at the Oct. 23 home game. In addition, the middle school will provide its own show at the middle school’s home games Oct. 8.

Aside from the football field, the band will travel to Andover Wednesday, Baldwin Oct. 14, FarmCity Days Oct. 17 and at Independence’s Neewollah Parade Oct. 31. The Baldwin competition will give the Marching Mustangs an opportunity to defend their trophy, Kleopfer said.

In addition, the band students will help at Saturday’s fundraiser, but will not perform.

KLEOPFER isn’t certain exactly when the Marching Mustangs will audition for the Macy’s parade.

The audition process will be done via video, a first for Kleopfer. “But we’re excited about it,� he said. “We had a veteran band last year, but we lost 20 seniors. Now, half of our band is freshmen.�

Even so, the musicians have picked up the musical baton and maintained the sterling performances to which the community has grown accustomed.

Financial Focus Know the Impact of Retirement Goals on Your Finances

The concept of “retirement� has changed dramatically in recent decades. Today’s retirees are traveling, volunteering, pursuing their hobbies — and even working for money. In fact, as a retiree, you can essentially do anything you want, as long as your health and finances permit it. Through exercise, proper diet and avoidance of bad habits, you can do a lot to stay physically healthy.

And by clearly identifying your retirement goals and estimating their financial impact, you’ll know how to stay “financially healthy� throughout your retirement years.

So, what are your retirement goals? Here are some of the more common ones: • Travel. Many people can’t wait to see the world once they retire. If you’re one of these eager travelers, you’ve got more choices than ever. Programs such as Road Scholar (formerly known as Elderhostel) provide educational travel programs to virtually every area on the planet. And, of course, you are free to journey on your own. But however you decide to hit the road, you’d better bring your wallet — because travel is expensive.

One way of dealing with these costs is to place a certain amount of money each year in a liquid account that offers significant protection of principal. Set aside enough money to cover all your travels for a year, and when it’s exhausted, you’ll know it’s time to stay home for a while. • Rent or buy a second home. During retirement, many people like to spend a few months each year in a more pleasant climate or in a location nearer their grown children. If you are considering a second home, you’ll need to decide whether you want to rent or buy. You’ll find considerable differences from a financial point of view, so you’ll want to think carefully about your choice. • Pursue your hobbies. While you were working, you might have wished that you had more freedom to pursue your hobbies. Once you retire, though, you’ll probably have a lot more time to do what you like, whether that’s driving your classic car, painting landscapes, golfing, fishing, building furniture — whatever. Be aware, however, that some people do get over-exuberant and spend more money on their hobbies than they can really afford. So have fun with your pursuits, but set a budget — and stick to it. • Get back to work. Upon your formal retirement, you may decide to do some consulting or open a small business. Any wages you receive can greatly improve your retirement income picture. For example, the more money you earn, the less you’ll have to take out each year from your 401(k), IRA and other retirement plans.

(You will have to take at least minimum withdrawals from some of these accounts.) Plus, if you make enough money, you may be able to postpone Social Security for a few years, thereby increasing your monthly payments when you eventually start taking them.

As you can see, your retirement goals will be closely tied to your finances. So think carefully about what you’d like to do when you retire — and connect these objectives to the money you’ll spend and the money you may earn. By being aware of both your dreams and your “bottom line,� you should be able to enjoy the retirement lifestyle you’ve envisioned.

Fall is fast approaching. Summer was not so kind to farmers. It was too wet for planting and haying. But this has been the greenest summer in quite some time.

Hay on the soggy side WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Wetter weather in Kansas has brought needed moisture after years of drought, but it is causing problems for hay growers.

Steve Hessman is the hay market reporter for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s office in Dodge City.

He said Tuesday that Kansas has had good hay production when it comes to tonnage, but it is not the best quality in most cases.

Untimely rains have damaged much of cut alfalfa in fields, making it is only good for grinding hay.

Those rains have also delayed timely cutting, and much of the hay was overly matured when it was finally cut.

It has been only in the past couple of weeks during the recent dry spell that some growers have been able to cut the top-quality, dairy hay off irrigated fields.

Death toll rises in Utah flash floods HILDALE, Utah (AP) — A van and SUV carrying three women and 13 children sat near the widening stream, waiting for the water to recede so they could cross back to their homes in a small, polygamous town on the Utah-Arizona border.

But in an instant, flood waters engulfed them and the two vehicles were sucked downstream, bobbing in the turbulent water before they tumbled over an embankment.

Only three children survived.

Twelve of the 16 are dead. One is missing.

Virginia Black watched in horror from her house as she made a video of the once-in-

a-century flash flood.

“There goes the van!” says Black in a highpitched voice. “It went over the thing. Oh dear.”

Downstream, people rushed to where the vehicles came to a stop.

One witness described a gruesome scene of body

parts, twisted metal and a young boy who somehow survived.

“The little boy was standing there,” Yvonne Holm recalled. “He said, ‘Are you guys going to help me?’”

Some 20 miles to the north at Zion National Park, the same storm system sent flash floods coursing through a narrow slot canyon, killing four people and leaving three others missing.

The group from California and Nevada in their 40s and 50s began their hike before officials closed the canyons that evening because of flood warnings, park spokeswoman Holly Baker said.

Flash floods are not uncommon in the area,

but the volume and pace of Monday’s rain was a “100-year event” in Hildale, said Brian McInerney, hydrologist with the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City.

The height of the storm lasted about 30 minutes, pouring 1.5 inches of rain into a desert-like landscape with little vegetation and steep slopes.

Monday’s weather event was like a bucket of water being poured onto a rock — it slid right off and began running downstream, picking up sediment to create the forceful, muddy mess that rushed through the city, McInerney said. Another half-inch of rain came within the hour.

Remarks about Fiorina’s face may trip up Trump Finally, someone may have a criticism about Donald Trump that has staying power.

Carly Fiorina, the only female contender in the Republican pool of candidates, released a powerful video spot Monday called “Look at This Face.”

To a background of music that builds in momentum, the images of various women appear while Fiorina lauds America’s women as fighters, leaders, and successes.

The ad is in response to a remark Trump recently made about Fiorina’s appearance: “Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? ... I mean, she’s a woman, and I’m not s’posed to say bad things, but really, folks, come on.

Are we serious?”

In typical manner, Trump is now backpedaling, much as he did with his insensitive remarks about Megyn Kelly, the Fox News broadcaster. Her aggressive style during the first televised debate of this interminable campaign, Trump intimated, must be because she was menstruating.

As for his comments about Fiorina’s face, Trump is now saying he meant her “persona.”

EVEN SO, it’s a pathetic argument to hang your hat on. Being sexist is Trump’s least offense.

Here’s a short list of his most egregious positions.

1. According to Trump, the minimum wage of $7.25 an hour is adequate; 2. Climate change is a hoax; 3. Undocumented immigrants should be shipped back home, because half are criminals anyway; 4. Corporations should not pay taxes; 5. The United States should “take back” the oil fields in Iraq and increase U.S. troops there to fight Islamist militants, and, 6. His years at a private boarding school sufficed for serving in the military.

Trump dodged the Vietnam War with deferments — bone spurs. “I always felt that I was in the military,” Trump said when his parents sent him to the New York Military Academy, an expensive prep school.

TONIGHT’S debate among the candidates vying for the Republican Party’s nomination will be entertaining, no doubt. But could we dare hope it’s for the right reasons.

Student scores show room for improvement State education officials released a report last week that shows a majority of Kansas public school students aren’t prepared academically for college according to their scores on standardized English and math tests given in the spring.

Overall, the report shows only 42 percent of the 260,000 students did well enough in English to be ready for college. In math, only 34 percent are ready. It’s worse for 10th graders, with only 31 percent proficient enough in English and 25 percent in math to be college-ready.

Officials had warned ahead of time that scores under a new testing format would look worse than those produced through the previously used assessment tests based on the federal government’s

No Child Left Behind.

The new Common Corebased tests are considered much tougher, emphasizing critical thinking and using far fewer multiple choice questions. In essence, they claim, the Common Core tests are aimed at raising the bar on gauging academic achievement. It worked.

Under No Child Left Behind, the gauge was how many students are performing at or above their grade level. With Common Core, the focus is on how many are on track to be college- or careerready. With that in mind, testing was much kinder to the state’s students.

The report released last week showed that 80 percent of all students scored at or above their grade level in Eng-

lish and 78 percent attained that level in math. While that sounds better, state officials cautioned not to compare the numbers to previous testing because the two formats are different.

Instead, Education Commissioner Randy Watson said this year’s numbers showing college preparedness, which he admitted weren’t good, should be used as a “baseline” for measuring progress in the future.

“This is given as a snapshot of where we don’t want to be in five years,” Watson said.

That says as much as anything about this year’s results, regardless of difference in testing and the new emphasis. There’s obviously room for much improvement.

Amid the bombast, quiet Ben Carson rises in GOP field

By STEVE PEOPLES The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Amid all the bombast in the Republican race for president, Ben Carson comes across more like a whisper.

He is, in some ways, the anti-Trump — a gentle candidate who lets his record as a renowned brain surgeon speak for itself. The bragging about his resume and place in the polls, on the rare occasions it comes, is delivered with none of the superlatives that Donald Trump can’t seem to go without.

Yet the 63-year-old Republican, the only African-American seeking the White House in 2016 — has tapped into the same wave of anti-establishment outrage fueling the billionaire realty TV star’s rise.

“The likelihood of someone like me getting through this process and making it to president is virtually impossible,” Carson told The Associated Press in a recent interview. “I just have to be myself. And if being myself resonates with the American people, then they will choose me.

“And if it doesn’t,” he said, “they will choose somebody else.”

Like Trump, Carson was dismissed early as a gaffeprone novice lacking a national profile and any significant political network. But he appears to be connecting with Republican voters at a rate that even his closest aides didn’t predict.

Heading into tonight’s second debate of the GOP contest, Carson finds himself alongside Trump atop the field.

A New York Times/CBS

News poll released Tuesday shows Carson favored by 23 percent of likely Republican primary voters compared to Trump’s 27 percent. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, meanwhile, have plummeted to 6 percent and 2 percent, respectively.

It should be noted the poll found that 63 percent said they could change their minds before the primaries begin with the Iowa caucuses in February.

Yet it was just one of several in recent days that feature the political rookies Trump and Carson leading a field of veterans of elected office, offering the clearest example yet that Republican voters have deep frustrations with the political establishment.

It shows in Carson’s fundraising, too. His campaign says it has raised $5 million so far this month, adding to the $9 million it pulled in during July and August — a strong performance at what

Angeles Times/TNS

emerged from the first as a surprise success, his popularity fueled by his nice-guy image on a night when his competitors came out swinging.

Yet he remains rough around the edges and has little experience with issues beyond health care and business, particularly foreign policy in an election where

— Ben Carson

is typically one of the hardest times for candidates to raise money.

Tonight offers Carson a new chance to build on that momentum. A stage full of Republican candidates will face off at the Reagan Presidential Library for the party’s second formal debate. Carson

international affairs are a major part of the discussion.

“He’s memorized every nerve in the body, he can memorize the top 12 terrorists in the world,” said Carson campaign manager Barry Bennett, dismissing any concerns.

His team hopes to use any

additional airtime he’ll get tonight to highlight Carson’s biography.

He rose from the streets of inner-city Detroit to be head of pediatric neurosurgery at Baltimore’s Johns Hopkins Hospital. The story inspired a television movie and gives Carson unique standing in a Republican Party often criticized as the party of older, wealthy, white men.

Carson briefly focused on race late last week by touring Ferguson, Mo., the St. Louis suburb hit by rioting after a white police officer shot a black teen. After the tour, however, Carson condemned the “Black Lives Matter” movement and said the nation should “de-emphasize race” and instead “emphasize respect.”

A religious conservative, Carson said he’d prefer the movement change its name to “All black lives matter” — to include the unborn children of black women who have abortions. Better yet, he said, the group would change its name to simply, “All lives matter.”

He’s expected to focus on party unity on the debate stage after declining to respond to his competitors’ jabs in recent days.

“Trump will be Trump, Ben will be Ben, and the contrast couldn’t be clearer,” Bennett said.

In contrast to other campaigns, no one has been playing Trump during Carson’s debate preparation sessions, somewhat unusual. Bennett described an all-day “knowledge session” Monday in which experts delivered presentations on various domestic and foreign policy topics.

“They don’t pepper him with questions, he peppers them,” the campaign manager said.

And while Carson doesn’t focus on race, his campaign suggests his status as the only African-American in the contest is a political asset.

“In a crowd of 17 candidates, it is important that you can differentiate yourself in as many ways as possible,” Bennett said. “He’s soft-spoken, he’s African-American and he’s a doctor.”

The campaign has begun running TV ads in Iowa and New Hampshire promoting Carson’s biography. And it’s looking to expand a paid staff of 80 now divided between the campaign’s suburban Washington headquarters and early voting states across the country.

The political establishment remains skeptical of his chances, but Carson doesn’t seem to mind.

“My whole life people have told me you can’t do this, no one’s ever done this before, this is impossible,” he said. “I don’t even get charged up until I hear those words.”

Wildfire evacuees tell stories of survival MIDDLETOWN, Calif.

(AP) — Ranch managers Don and Martha Grimm barely escaped with only the clothes they were wearing as a destructive, fast-moving fire roared toward their Northern California home.

The couple, both in their 70’s, held hands as they returned to their neighborhood to find only rubble where their home once stood. Martha

around them. “The flames were coming over that mountain and surrounding this place like there was no tomorrow,� she said. “I jumped in the water trough with all the dogs, and the horses came up around. Thank God they just stayed here.�

Fire investigators working to determine what caused the massive blaze have narrowed

Aided by drought, the flames have consumed more than 105 square miles since the fire sped Saturday through rural Lake County.... It was 30 percent contained Tuesday evening.

Grimm broke down in tears.

Aided by drought, the flames have consumed more than 105 square miles since the fire sped Saturday through rural Lake County, less than 100 miles north of San Francisco. It was 30 percent contained Tuesday evening.

Fire crews gained some ground thanks to cooler weather and there was chance of rain for Tuesday night and Wednesday, which could help firefighters strengthen and build new containment lines, fire officials said.

Rancher Lisa Comstock said she and her three dogs survived the raging fire in rural Middletown by jumping into a water trough as flames neared her home.

Comstock was also able to keep her horses nearby as the fire burned

their focus to an area in the community of Cobb, where the blaze was first spotted, said California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection spokesman Daniel Berlant.

What sparked the blaze remains under investigation, he said.

Authorities say 585 homes were known to be destroyed, and the number was expected to increase. Another 9,000 structures remained threatened.

The Lake County fire and another blaze about 120 miles to the southeast have displaced 23,000 people and were the worst of a dozen wildfires burning in the state. The Lake County fire spread into northern Napa County, but the region’s famous wine valley was not threatened.

One person has been confirmed dead, and oth-

ers were unaccounted for, but authorities said they could be staying with relatives, on vacation or elsewhere and not impacted by the fire.

The dead woman has been identified as Barbara McWilliams, 72. She told her caretaker she didn’t want to leave her home near Middletown.

The world traveler and sharp-minded woman with advanced multiple sclerosis said she would be fine.

Her body was found Sunday in her burnedout home after flames kept Lake County sheriff ’s officials from reaching her.

Lake County has been particularly hard-hit. In late July, a wildfire east of Clear Lake destroyed 43 homes as it spread across more than 100 square miles. Another fire erupted Aug. 9 several miles from the community of Lower Lake.

A separate destructive wildfire burning less than 200 miles away in the Sierra Nevada had destroyed at least 233 homes. The number of homes destroyed in a Sierra Nevada wildfire in Amador and Calaveras counties has risen to 135, up from 81. The blaze in Amador and Calaveras Counties has charred more than 112 square miles and was 40 percent contained on Tuesday. It is still threatening another 6,400 structures.

Fillies volleyball drops two games LA CYGNE — The Iola High volleyball team had its opportunities to earn a victory on the road Tuesday night, but the Fillies were unable to take advantage of those chances and lost both of its matches against Wellsville and Prairie View.

Iola faced off against Wellsville in the first game of the night and dropped both sets despite making steady improvements as the match progressed (25-8, 25-17).

Senior McKayli Cleaver led all Fillies with six kills against the Eagles. But coach Emily Sigg also got a boost from her lone freshman on the varsity squad, Piper Moore.

Moore finished the game with four kills while also recording a team-high two blocks. Junior Sydney Wade also had two blocks against Wellsville.

In Iola’s second of the game of the night against host school Prairie View, the Fillies lost a three-set thriller to the Buffalos (2523, 23-25, 25-23).

“It was somewhat of a disappointing night for us as we could’ve had the win vs. Prairie View,” Sigg said.

“We just didn’t finish all the way through the match,

but I can’t be too upset because the effort was there.

We (have) really been talking about playing as a unit and not just a ‘spot’ on the floor and I’m seeing some improvement there.”

Moore once again stood out despite her youth by recording a team-high 10 kills. And when the Fillies were down 10-6 during one of their three sets, Moore recorded four straight service aces to tie the game.

Senior Ashlie Shields added seven more kills and senior Mikaela Platt finished the game with six.

Cleaver led Iola with her 13 assists and Moore recorded nine.

As for Iola’s JV team, the Fillies split their matchups with Wellsville and Prairie View.

Against Wellsville, Iola fell in two straight sets (2517, 25-11).

Katelynn Olsten led the Fillies with a kill and ace.

In the second game of the night for the JV team, the Fillies defeated Prairie View in two straight sets (25-12, 25-15).

Riley Murray dominated behind the service line by recording 14 service aces against the Buffalos.

Colbi Riley had a teamhigh six kills.

Humboldt volleyball finds way to earn 2 wins CHERRYVALE — Humboldt notched two more wins on the season after defeating Cherryvale and Altoona on the road Tuesday night.

In Humboldt’s first matchup of the night against Altoona, the Cubs dominated from start to finish. Coach Cara Thomas’ squad swept the Jets in two straight sets (25-2, 25-9).

The Cubs recorded a team hitting percentage of .345 en route to their first victory of the night.

Annalise Whitcomb and Tilar Wells led the way for Humboldt offensively with five and four kills, respectively.

Megan Hudlin added seven service aces in the game to help Humboldt put away Altoona for the easy win.

At one point, Hudlin’s service behind the line was so efficient that she was able to serve 25 times in a row.

In the second matchup of the night, Humboldt

also defeated Cherryvale in just two sets (25-18, 2517).

Once again, Whitcomb and Wells were the Cubs offensive leaders by recording five and four kills, respectively.

Aricah McCall found a way in the action as well for Humboldt, notching four kills of her own.

Humboldt’s varsity team will take the court next on its own court on Saturday.

The Cubs’ JV and C teams also competed Tuesday in Cherryvale.

The C team lost to Cherryvale in three sets (25-22, 18-25, 5-15).

But the JV team found redemption for Humboldt by defeating Cherryvale in three sets (2521, 25-27, 15-6).

“JV brought great energy again,” said Aubrey Jones, the Humboldt JV coach. “They work really hard to pick each other up and celebrate any small victories on the court.

Yates Center volleyball hits road for tournament Yates Center High School’s varsity and JV volleyball teams competed as part of a four-team tournament in Hartford on Tuesday night.

The Wildcats’ JV team kicked off the night with a split game against Hartford (15-7 7-15) and a tightly contested loss against Marais des Cygnes Valley

(15-13, 15-11).

The varsity squad had better luck by earning two wins to begin the night before closing out with a loss.

Yates Center swept Hartford in two sets (25-20 25-20), beat Crest in three (25-20 20-25 25-13) and lost to MdCV in three (21-25, 25-14, 25-18).

Southern Coffey County hosts MVHS, St. Paul in volleyball LE ROY — Southern Coffey County High School’s volleyball team hosted a varsity and JV match against Marmaton Valley and St. Paul on Tuesday night.

Marmaton Valley’s varsity squad split its two games, defeating Southern Coffey County but losing to St. Paul.

In Marmaton Valley’s first game against St. Paul, the Wildcats competed closely with the Indians in their two-set loss (25-21, 25-18).

Misty Storrer recorded two kills and four points against St. Paul while Kyla

Drake led all Wildcats with five kills on offense.

Mackenzie Tynon added three points, four kills as well as two blocks.

“Our game with St. Paul, I feel, is the best we have played as a team so far this season,” coach Terra Kegler said. “We just came up short.”

Against Southern Coffey County, Marmaton Valley won in straight sets although both were competitive (26-24, 25-18).

Tynon continued her strong night on the court by

recording four points, four kills and one block.

The Wildcats JV team won both its games on Tuesday.

Marmaton Valley defeated St. Paul in two sets (15-4, 1512) before beating Southern Coffey County in two sets as well (15-12, 15-4).

Emily Smart led all Wildcats on the JV side with 19 total points on the day while Paige Becker wasn’t too far behind with 12.

Magie Stevenson led the offense with six kills in both games. Patricia Outlan added four kills as well.

Medlen shines as Royals win CLEVELAND (AP) — The spark came from Alex Rios.

The sparklers were courtesy of the Indians.

Kansas City’s Kris Medlen allowed five hits over 6 1-3 innings and Rios connected for a home run off Josh Tomlin that launched some unintentional fireworks, leading the Royals to a 2-0 win over the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday night.

Medlen (4-1) shut out the Indians before Royals manager Ned Yost turned things over to his top-ranked bullpen. Ryan Madson struck out two in the seventh, Wade Davis got through the eighth and Greg Holland worked around a two-on, no-out mess he created in the ninth for his 31st save.

The Royals won for just the third time in 11 games and moved a little closer to wrapping up an AL Central title.

Rios put the Royals ahead 2-0 with two outs in the fifth off Tomlin (5-2) by hitting his fourth homer, a shot onto

the pedestrian patio in left that prompted an accidental celebration in Progressive Field. As Rios rounded first, fireworks exploded above the ballpark, a tradition usually reserved for any homer hit by an Indians player.

TV cameras caught the distraught fireworks technician with his hands clutching his head after his quicktrigger mistake, which prompted a chorus of boos from the small crowd.

“It was nice,” Rios joked about the unexpected explosion. “It’s the first time that’s happened to me in a road game. When I heard all the screams, it crossed my mind that they somehow called it foul. It shook me a little bit.

It caught me off-guard. When I was rounding second, I heard people screaming and that’s when I thought something happened, but it’s all good.”

The Indians, who pulled back to .500 for just the second time since April by winning the series opener, fell to

13-6 since Aug. 25.

It was a hard-luck loss for Tomlin, who had won his previous five starts. The righthander gave up two runs and four hits in his second complete game this month. After giving Rios’ homer, Tomlin retired 13 of 14.

Tomlin didn’t take any satisfaction in his strong outing.

“It doesn’t feel good,” he said. “I’m glad I was able to keep the team in the game, don’t get me wrong, but we need wins, and that’s the bottom line. It doesn’t matter how well I pitch, if their guy does better than me on the other side then it’s still a loss. And that’s not what we need right now.”

Medlen, who was making just his fifth start since bouncing over from the bullpen last month, improved to 3-0 on the road. The righthander missed all of last season following Tommy John surgery.

Motive elusive in professorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s killing GAUTIER, Miss. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Shannon Lambâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motive for fatally shooting his girlfriend and a university colleague remains largely a mystery: The university instructor had no criminal record, he was a well-liked teacher, and police said there was no history of domestic violence between him and Amy Prentiss.

And yet there were some signs of trouble: Cleveland Police Chief Charles â&#x20AC;&#x153;Busterâ&#x20AC;? Bingham said Tuesday that authorities had some indication Lamb and the second shooting victim, Delta State University professor Ethan Schmidt, did not get along.

A student who praised Lamb, Brandon Beavers, said the professor also seemed agitated and jittery, â&#x20AC;&#x153;like there was something wrong with him.â&#x20AC;? And another student, Mikel Sykes, said Lamb told him he was dealing with stress at the end of the 2014-15 academic year.

Lamb also had asked the university for a medical leave of absence, saying he had a health issue of some sort, university President William LaForge has said.

This year, he was only teaching two on-

line classes, and recent changes in the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hiring policies meant the doctorate Lamb had worked so hard to earn would not guarantee him an automatic tenure track.

Nonetheless, authorities have not been able to identify any one major factor that would have driven Lamb to shoot two people and then kill himself.

In a 911 call Monday, Lamb told police he had shot Prentiss and that officers needed to get over to their house. Lamb made a point to say his â&#x20AC;&#x153;sweet dogâ&#x20AC;? was there alive and probably upset, and said the dead womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family contacts could be found on her phone.

Inside the home, officers found Prentissâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; body and a handwritten note in which Lamb described her as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the only woman who ever loved meâ&#x20AC;? and wrote â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish I could take it back.â&#x20AC;?

News of the shootings of Prentiss in Gautier, Mississippi, and of Schmidt at Delta State, 300 miles away, shocked many. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about a guy who was highly dedicated to his children and to his students,â&#x20AC;? a former student of Lambâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Hannah Rapetti, said of him.

Documents show impact of gay marriage in Kansas WICHITA, Kan. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Court documents are offering a glimpse at the early impact of the gay marriage ruling in Kansas.

The latest filing Tuesday from state officials comes in the lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the Kansas ban on samesex marriages. A federal judge has ruled the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ban is unconstitutional in the wake of the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision that legalized such unions nationwide.

But he gave the parties extra time to make written filings on whether Kansas has made good on its assurances that it will comply.

One affidavit shows that the Kansas State Employee Health Benefits Plan has granted health insurance coverage to 48 same-sex spouses.

Another document shows Sedgwick County has issued at least 160 marriage licenses to same-sex couples, while Douglas County issued about 60 such licenses.

Kansas auctioning off beaucoup bottles of booze TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The state of Kansas is selling hundreds of bottles of liquor accumulated by regulators on an online auction.

The selection on the online auction site includes 72 bottles of brandy, 36 containers of wine, 22 jugs of vodka and 13 flasks of rum, the Topeka Capital-Journal reported.

It also features six bottles of 2004 chardonnay from the Kansas State University Alumni Association.

But the bidding on the auction, which closes Sept. 28, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t open to anyone looking to stock their liquor cabinets, only to holders of state retail or wholesale liquor licenses.

The liquor was collected by the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alcoholic Beverage Control, a regulatory division of the revenue department, from the owners of newly acquired restaurants who

are prohibited from selling alcohol that was left behind by the previous business owners.

When the state needs to clear out merchandise, it schedules aggregated sales, and proceeds from the auctions are deposited into the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general treasury, according to Kansas Department of Revenue spokeswoman Jeannine Koranda. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It helps other owners move stock out that they legally would not be able to sell,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Another online auction from last September included thousands of sex toys, videos, clothing items and other novelty products. It as the result of the seizure of assets from a Kansas company that owed $160,000 in state income and operated stores in Topeka, Wichita, Junction City and Kansas City, Kansas.

Double-edged sword of radiation Dear Dr. Roach: Radiation can be used to treat cancer, but I’ve heard that radiation from too many CT scans and X-rays can cause cancer. What is the difference? I’m 72 and have had close to 25 CT scans over the years, mostly of my sinuses. Do I have an increased risk of getting cancer? — W.S. Answer: In medicine, all therapies have potential side effects. Some drugs that are designed to stop abnormal heart rhythms paradoxically cause them. Anti-epilepsy medicines increase seizures in some people.

That’s why doctors need to individualize therapy

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health based on many factors, some of which initially are unknown.

There is no doubt that radiation therapy is effective for some cancers. Testicular cancer tumors are among the most sensitive to radiation, and early stages of this disease have greater than a 95 percent cure rate when treated with radiation.

However, there is a clear increased risk of sec-

ondary cancers later on in people treated with radiation. The absolute risk, however, is only a few percent, so perhaps three men of 100 treated with radiation therapy for testicular cancer will develop another cancer.

The net effect of having multiple CT scans is not known with certainty, but most experts do feel that radiation from medical tests imparts a small risk of cancer later on. For this reason, it’s always important for a clinician to think twice before ordering a test with significant radiation exposure (a CT is up to 300 times more

radiation than a regular X-ray, and dental X-rays use even smaller amounts. A chest X-ray is roughly the same amount of radiation you’d get in a day from natural sources, such as cosmic rays and radioactive decay in building materials).

In your case, the absolute risk of developing cancer from 25 CT scans is very small.

The average person in the U.S. has about a 25 percent chance of death from cancer, but, as a rough guess, someone with as much radiation exposure as you might have a 25.1 percent risk.

Flaky friend brings out mean girl Dear Carolyn: A woman in my general friend circle is the worst. She doesn’t have a grasp on reality, every choice she makes I would make the opposite. She’s boisterous and loud. My boyfriend is great friends with her husband, and I don’t think it’s fair to exclude her when we do something together, but I feel like a “mean girl” because the minute she leaves I just complain to my boyfriend about how annoying she is and her latest tacky faux pas. I am NOT a mean girl normally, but ugh, this woman grinds my gears! She isn’t leaving the friendly cir-

Tell Me About It Carolyn Hax

cle anytime soon. So (1) how can I deal with this extremely difficult person for the foreseeable future (two to three times per month) when cutting her out is meaner than bashing her to my boyfriend? (2) Any tips for how to get past this mean behavior? I feel stress relief when I bash her, and knowing

that about myself is upsetting!

— Am I Catty?

Dear Catty: So, no Bridget-Jonesian charm to her loud awkwardness?

Seems like there might be something interesting to why this person finds all your raw nerves. She’s not mean, apparently, she’s not harming people, right? Not undermining your friendships with others in the group? Not shouting you down politically, not abusing her husband, not isolating him from his loved ones … ?

So why such an issue?

Or, the same point from the other side: Doesn’t that leave room for you to find something to like?

If you’re just repulsed at some animal level you can’t justify, or if she is in fact harmful and you merely didn’t specify that in your question, then putting up with her in service of the friendship with her spouse, and then allowing yourself to blow off some steam afterward for a brief, fixed amount of time, seems like a workable coping mechanism to me.

Rangers overtake Astros for 1st in AL West ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Adrian Beltre and Prince Fielder teamed up again in a tense Texas showdown, and this time the Rangers overtook the Houston Astros for first place in the AL West.

Beltre’s fourth hit Tuesday put the Rangers in position to win in the bottom of the ninth inning a night after Fielder pulled them within a half-game of the Astros with a tiebreaking two-run home run with Beltre aboard in the eighth.

Mitch Moreland’s sacrifice fly finished the 6-5 victory Tuesday night.

Eight games back and in third place in the division after losing on Aug. 1, the Rangers have gone 27-14 since. They’ve won five straight over the Astros, who had been in first place since July 28.

Texas won the first two of this four-game series.

“They have fought, scratched, clawed all ways imaginable to get to this point,” first-year

The Texas Rangers mob first baseman Mitch Moreland (18) after he hit a sacrifice fly to drive in the gamewinning run in the ninth inning against the Houston Astros at Globe Life Park in Arlington, Texas, on Tuesday. MAX FAULKNER/FORT WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM/TNS manager Jeff Banister said. “We’re not done yet. Still got a long ways to go.”

Fielder opened the ninth with a single to left off Oliver Perez (02), and pinch-runner Drew Stubbs went to

third on a single from Beltre, who drove in two runs with a single in the first and a tying double in the fourth.

Moreland sent a 1-0 pitch from Will Harris to Colby Rasmus in shallow center field, but

Rasmus’ throw was off target and bounced, allowing Stubbs to score easily.

“If I make the absolute perfect throw, I might have a chance at Stubbs,” said Rasmus, who had moved

over from left field in the eighth. “He can fly.

I might have tried too hard to make the perfect throw instead of just throwing it.”

Texas closer Shawn Tolleson (6-3) pitched a scoreless ninth as the

Rangers (77-67) moved into sole possession of first place for the first time this year, at a season-high 10 games over .500.

The team, citing Elias, said the Rangers joined five teams since 1969 to take the first division lead this late in the season. The most recent was Oakland in 2012 when the A’s finished a three-game sweep of the Rangers on the final day of the regular season to win the AL West.

“We’re not going to look at us being in first or wherever we’re at right now,” Moreland said. “We’ve still got a couple of weeks left in the regular season and we’re going to continue to focus on each game.”

Houston (77-68) holds the second AL wild card, 1 1-2 games ahead of Minnesota after the Twins lost to Detroit 5-4. The Astros have lost six of eight on the road trip and have one of the worst road records in the AL at 29-44.

Race is on: 5 cities to compete for 2024 Summer Olympics LONDON (AP) — The race is on for the 2024 Olympics: A fivecity contest pitting four European bids against a two-time host from the United States.

The International Olympic Committee announced the official field of candidates Wednesday, and there were no surprises as the previously declared bidders were all on the list — Budapest, Hungary; Hamburg, Germany; Los Angeles; Paris; and Rome.

“We are welcoming five outstanding and highly qualified candidate cities,” IOC President Thomas Bach said.

The lineup features three capital cities (Budapest, Paris, and Rome), three previous Olympic hosts (Paris, Rome, and Los Angeles) and one first-time bidder (Hamburg).

Los Angeles, which hosted the 1932 and 1984 Olympics, and Paris, which staged the games in 1900 and 1924, shape

up as early front-runners as they seek to join London in becoming three-time hosts.

The deadline for submission of entries expired at midnight on Tuesday in Switzerland.

Two other potential candidates — Toronto, and Baku, Azerbaijan — decided not to bid.

“This is a competition about quality, not quantity,” Bach said in a conference call.

The IOC also released the host city contract and other documents setting out the twoyear bid process, which has been changed to eliminate the cut-down phase, and ensure that all candidates go to the final vote in Lima, Peru, in September 2017.

Bach said a candidate would be cut only if it violates bidding rules or if the IOC determines a city cannot meet “minimum requirements” for hosting the games.

The IOC has been de-

termined to present a healthy number of bids and world-class field for 2024 following the troubled race for the 2022 Winter Games, which was left with only two candidates after four pulled out for financial or political reasons.

Beijing defeated Almaty, Kazakhstan, in the IOC vote on July 31.

Bach said all five bid cities for 2024 fully embraced his Olympic Agenda 2020’ reform program, which seeks to reduce bidding and hosting costs.

“Sustainability and legacy are the cornerstones of each candidature,” he said.

The IOC will contribute $1.7 billion in cash and services to the organizing committee of whichever city is chosen as host.

Bach expressed confidence the city will produce a surplus on its operating budget, which does not cover long-term infrastructure costs.

The cities must submit their first bid files

by Feb. 17, 2016.

An IOC evaluation commission will visit the cities between February and June 2017.

A technical briefing for IOC members will be held in July 2017, two months before the vote.

Bach said the evaluation process would change from “an examination style to a dialogue style,” helping ensure that bid promises are kept once the games are awarded so that “the organization phase may be less turbulent and more reliable.”

Los Angeles stepped in as the U.S. candidate after Boston’s bid collapsed in July amid a lack of public and political support.

The Californian city is bidding to bring the Summer Games back to the U.S. for the first time since Atlanta held the 1996 Olympics. New York and Chicago failed in their bids for the 2012

Yost went to the mound with a trainer in the ninth to check on Holland, whose velocity has noticeably dropped.

“There’s a little bit of concern there,” Yost said. “You have to look at a closer’s mentality.

He has that. He’s got the heart of a lion.”

Yost said Holland was surprised by the visit, and told his manager, “I got this. I’m fine.”

ing that the IOC will carry out its own confidential polling in all the bid cities.

Germany, which last held the Summer Olympics in Munich in 1972, is the leading contender to host the European soccer championship in 2024, but Bach — a German — said there was no reason the country couldn’t hold both events.

“Nobody has a real doubt about the organizational skills of Germany, and German sport in particular,” he said.

Budapest, which has failed in numerous previous bids, would bring the Olympics to Hungary for the first time.

Hungary is facing criticism for its tough stance on migrants and refugees, while Germany has been praised for its welcoming policy.

“This humanitarian challenge is going beyond Olympic candidatures,” Bach said.

“We needed that,” Yost said. “We needed a good pitching performance. We needed to get to the bullpen in the seventh inning with the lead and that’s exactly what Kris provided for us.”

The Royals took a 1-0 lead in the second on Perez’s RBI single after the Indians failed to catch Mike Moustaskas’ foul pop behind the plate with two outs.

Catcher Yan Gomes yanked off his mask and looked skyward but couldn’t locate the high pop, which fell untouched about 15 feet from the batter’s box as Tomlin and third baseman Giovanny Urshela helplessly looked on.

Moustakas made the Indians pay by following with a double off the center-field wall and scored on Perez’s

clutch hit.

The Royals entered batting .280 with two outs — 37 points higher than the major league average.

and 2016 Olympics, respectively.

Los Angeles, which faced no opposition for the ‘32 and ‘84 Olympics, has lost in seven other contested bid elections.

Paris is hoping to host the Olympics exactly 100 years after it last held the games.

The French capital was the favorite for the 2012 Games but lost out to London.

Rome is seeking to take the games back to the Italian capital for the first time since 1960.

Rome dropped out of the bidding for the 2020 Olympics when the government refused to give financial support.

Hamburg’s bid faces a referendum among voters in the northern port city on Nov. 29, with no certainty that it will win.

“What is important for the IOC is that we want to send the athletes only to cities where they are welcome,” Bach said, add-
