NBAF funds vetoed

TOPEKA — Gov. Sam Brownback announced Friday that he had vetoed a section in this year’s budget bill that would have transferred $5 million from the Kansas En- Brownback dowment for Youth Fund to the Kansas Bioscience Authority.

“The $5 million in question in this section should remain available for such purposes in the future, so I therefore veto the transfer,” Brownback said in a prepared statement. He did not elaborate on his decision.

Posters aid in fight against child abuse

Nursing home cited for abuse

Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of the 31st Judicial District and Hope Unlimited brought Child Abuse Prevention Month in April to a close by hosting a Pinwheels for Prevention poster coloring contest for kindergarten through third-graders in 12 area schools and four counties.

Age appropriate information regarding child abuse prevention was also presented to students at each school. More than 1,200 students colored posters for the contest. The pictures are now on display in merchant and government windows and public areas in Iola, Chanute, Erie and Thayer.

Teachers protest at Statehouse TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Teachers and education advocates protested Saturday at the Kansas Statehouse against what they described as Republican Gov. Sam Brownback’s policies attacking public schools.

The rally, which drew about 300 people, came on the 60th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s historic Brown v. Board of Education decision, declaring segregated schools unconstitutional. Participants suggested that a lack of adequate funding for America’s public schools is preventing the U.S. from fulfilling the Brown decision’s promise

of equal educational opportunities for all children.

But the protest on the Statehouse grounds also became a rally for the presumed Democratic nominee for governor, Kansas House Minority Leader Paul Davis, who made remarks.

Other speakers criticized Brownback and fellow GOP conservatives who control the Legislature as participants held anti-Brownback signs.

The rally was sponsored by the American Federation of Teachers and the state’s largest teachers’ union, the Kansas National Education Association. They’re

Kansas girl has rare surgery KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri girl who lost a chunk of her leg when she was run over by a John Deere lawn tractor might someday be able to walk again after undergoing a rare surgery to prepare her for a prosthetic lower leg.

Isabella Smith, 6, who goes by the name Izzy, knew better than to go near the mower her grandfather was using on his Richmond property. But on May 1 she decided to look for flowers and somehow got beyond a creek where John Williams, a farmer, was mowing and he backed over her leg.

Williams later told his wife that he was able to keep it together emotionally after seeing Izzy’s mangled leg because the girl was so strong, The Kansas City Star reported. She might have whimpered a little, he said, but she didn’t cry.

Izzy has spent a little more than two weeks in the pediatric intensive care unit at University

of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City, Kan. She has had seven surgeries since arriving by helicopter ambulance with massive injuries to the bone and muscle of her left leg.

One of those surgeries was a rare procedure called rotationplasty, an eight-hour endeavor in which doctors removed sections of the thigh and shin, rotated her foot and attached the shin to her thigh so her heel is where her kneecap used to be. That will give her the best fit for a prosthetic leg, with her ankle serving as her knee joint.

“I was supposed to be strong for her, but it was the other way around,” said Stephanie Williams, Izzy’s mother.

“I’ve gone through every emotion, and the one thing I’ve learned is that crying doesn’t help. I’m trying to be like her.”

Izzy will be fitted for a prosthetic lower leg when healing progresses, probably in about eight weeks.

Lead levels higher in Cherryvale CHERRYVALE, Kan. (AP) — Recent lead levels among children tested in a southeast Kansas town that was home to a zinc smelter were “significantly” higher than statewide and national levels, according to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.

Tests conducted from 2005 to 2012 showed children tested in Cherryvale had a mean blood lead level of 4.54 micrograms per deciliter, the KDHE said in an analysis of tests. The mean level for children in Montgomery County was 3.17, and the state was 2.49. The national average, which has been dropping, was 1.3 from 2007-2010, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“My takeaway from the analysis is Montgomery County is an area of the state that we’re seeing average blood lead levels among children

that is higher than what the state average is, and within that, Cherryvale itself, is also higher than the state average, and those are statistically significant higher numbers,” Farah Ahmed, KDHE’s state environmental health officer, said.

The KDHE analysis, which was released last week and did not address the source of the lead exposure, said 2013 tests among children whose levels were least 5, showed the mean blood lead level was 12.32. Of that group, levels in Montgomery County were 11.29, and in Kansas were 9.05. The analysis did not say how many children were tested, only how many tests were performed.

The CDC recommends initiating public health actions, including follow up testing after three months, when blood lead levels reach 5 micrograms per deciliter.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Higher ed can’t be just for the elite It’s fitting that graduation comes in the spring, a season of new beginnings.

Inherently, the completion of one level brings with it the challenges of the next.

That’s the hope, at any rate.

These days, a high school education is but the first step if its graduates aspire to satisfying careers that pay well. Statistics show those who get a college degree have a much better chance at economic mobility.

Trouble is, college is not an equal playing field.

For first-generation college students, it’s harder to stay on track in part because they haven’t grown up in a college-bound culture.

Even with similar test scores, the poorer the student, the less chance she has of graduating from college. Of those with top college entrance exam scores, only about one-fourth of students from poor and lower middle class families will graduate with a bachelor’s degree, compared to almost 90 percent of students from the top income quartile.

Plain and simple, money buys access to: • Tutors who help students with difficult subjects as well as prepare for college entrance examinations; • Time to study. Students from poor families typically hold down jobs to help support the family, robbing them of time to be good students, and • Experiences outside of school that broaden their horizons and pique their curiosity.

And the more our public schools require fees for field trips, extracurricular activities, books, technology, and sports, the bigger the gap between students prepared for college and those who are not.

Universities trying to change the outcome for struggling students are incorporating smaller classes with tutors and more group study. The results are impressive. With the right sup-

port, students are making good grades and staying in school.

A COLLEGE campus is a foreign world to students, and especially for first-generation. Without a helpful network of family and friends, many college students feel adrift. A bad grade on a test can make them self-doubt their abilities. Instead of telling their children it’s to be expected, some say perhaps they set their sights too high.

Studies show that if students knew their peers were also struggling, they could take the setbacks better.

There’s also the reality that for students attending university on scholarship, a flunking grade can send them packing.

Circumstances in high school also can better prepare incoming college students. Those that participate in competitive activities, for example, be it through sports or academic competitions, learn to bounce back more easily after defeat.

The earlier children engage in competitive or team activities, the better prepared they are to engage in the classroom. Young girls, especially, should be encouraged to participate in sports. Studies show that while teachers appreciate an obedient student, those that never take risks have a more difficult time in the outside world.

High school students should be encouraged to take challenging classes to better prepare them for college. An advantage for local students is the opportunity to enroll at Allen Community College.

The realization that with work, the brain can grow should also give comfort to struggling students. The very essence of learning means triumph over failure.

In this season of graduations we all should recommit ourselves to a lifetime of learning.

— Susan Lynn

Veterans aren’t receiving medical care in timely manner

Confidence in VA must be restored The Department of Veterans Affairs’ treatment of former service members remains a national disgrace and a betrayal of veterans, who deserve timely medical care.

VA Secretary Eric Shinseki was supposed to fix this. A Vietnam-era grunt who rose through the ranks to Army chief of staff, Shinseki supposedly understood the sacrifices and acute medical needs of former warriors. Yet, in a widening scandal, he’s been horribly late to identify and correct Sec. Shinseki management abuses that “cooked the books” at the expense of veterans.

The scandal surrounds socalled secret waiting lists used to disguise the fact that veterans weren’t receiving medical aid within a required 14- to 30-day period. Veterans languished on the secret list for months and were transferred onto the official list only when the wait times would fall within the acceptable period. The trick gave the impression that the system operated smoothly; senior executives even received efficiency performance bonuses for this deadly charade.

This isn’t an isolated problem, the work of a few bad apples in Arizona; it’s a clear pattern of misbehavior that exists only because VA leadership allows it to exist.

As many as 40 veterans may have died while awaiting treatment in Phoenix, and similar scheduling schemes may have compromised VA care in more than 10 states.

This isn’t an isolated problem, the work of a few bad apples in Arizona; it’s a clear pattern of misbehavior that exists only because VA leadership allows it to exist.

If Shinseki didn’t know of this rampant misbehavior, he should have. Previous reports by the VA inspector general’s office spotlighted unacceptable backlogs of disability claims and slow response times to mental health patients that mirror this scandal. Journalists also raised questions about VA scheduling problems months ago.

Bipartisan House and Senate oversight committees have clamored for reform based on the earlier reports. Yet the VA seems incapable of doing anything about it.

Shinseki’s testimony before the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee on Thursday demonstrated just how far be-

hind the scandal he has been.

He barely acknowledged that problems exist, let alone how they would be corrected. He hid behind an ongoing investigation by the VA inspector general as the reason he could not provide specific information. Meanwhile, veterans wait for the leadership they need to ensure their protection.

Shinseki has improved actual VA health care during his tenure. But he now seems to be walking on thin ice with both hands over his eyes. To restore confidence, he must quickly and aggressively correct clear procedural failings and hold facility directors responsible for abuses. And he doesn’t have to wait for the inspector general’s report to make obvious management and culture reforms.

This country has a moral obligation to provide the best care possible to those who have put their lives and health on the line. If Shinseki doesn’t deliver changes soon, perhaps someone else should take the helm. ­— The Dallas Morning News

Missouri Legislature adopts more moderate tone JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Republicans who hold large majorities in the Missouri Legislature routinely promote their conservative credentials.

Yet to get things done this year, they often had to moderate that conservatism.

On tax cuts and gun policies, the legislation passed in 2014 was a more moderate version of similar bills pursued a year ago. Republicans also pared back proposals to dump Common Core education standards and allow public dollars to go to private schools. And when it came time to rewrite the state’s criminal laws, Republicans worked closely with Democratic lawmakers.

In short, moderation was prevalent despite a still generally conservative bent.

“They’re as determined as ever to make sure that their principles become law, but they’ve found ways to make that happen in less than full gulps,” said Dave Robertson, a political science professor at the University of Missouri-St. Louis.

Example one is the tax cut, which will gradually reduce the top individual income tax rate from 6 percent to 5.5 percent and phase in a 25 percent deduction for business income reported on personal tax re-

David Lieb An AP news analysis turns.

Although one Democrat joined Republicans in the veto override, the legislation succeeded primarily because Republicans appealed to more moderate members of their own party who had defected to thwart an override attempt of a proposed tax cut in 2013.

This year’s bill was significantly less complex than last year.

It reduced the size of the tax cut for businesses. It delayed the starting date of the gradual tax reductions, allowing time for lawmakers to first try to boost funding for schools.

And it set a higher revenuegrowth threshold that must be met for each of the incremental tax cuts to take effect.

“You saw what their instincts were in the last session in 2013,” Robertson said. But “slowly that has been moderated back, so that they can find the sweet spot where they can pass it.”

Lawmakers this year also

placed on the ballot a proposed transportation sales tax which, if approved by voters, has the potential to be the largest tax increase in state history.

In 2013, Republican lawmakers passed a measure attempting to nullify specific federal gun-control laws. The bill could have resulted in jail time for federal agents who attempted to enforce those laws and for journalists who published the identities of gun owners. A veto override attempt failed only after the top two Senate Republicans pulled their support and promised to revise the bill this year.

The gun nullification bill was pared back for 2014 but never ultimately passed, as some Republicans had reservations about punishing federal agents. Instead, lawmakers passed a separate measure that would lower the age to get a concealed gun permit and allow schools to designate specially trained teachers and administrators who could carry concealed guns.

Last year, Republicans passed conservative-inspired measures seeking to ban foreign laws from being used in Missouri courts and prohibit local policies based on the United Nations’ Agenda 21 agreement on sustainable de-

velopment. Nixon vetoed both items. Neither passed this year.

Some Republicans this year set out to force Missouri to end its participation in Common Core education standards, which have been adopted in states across the nation but are viewed skeptically by some conservatives. But they ultimately scaled back the legislation to create a committee that will study the state’s education standards and recommend potential changes over the coming years.

Republicans worked closely with some Democrats this year on a bill rewriting the state’s criminal code for the first time since the 1970s and on a measure overhauling a 1993 law requiring unaccredited school districts to pay for students to transfer to better schools. Some Republicans wanted to allow students to transfer to nonreligious private schools. In the final version of the bill, that option was limited to districts in the

St. Louis and Kansas City areas — and only if local voters approved it or several years had elapsed.

“This year’s been a lot more moderate,” said Rep. Kevin Engler, R-Farmington, a former Senate majority leader who was ousted from his post in 2010 by a band of Republicans wanting to pursue a more hard-line conservative agenda.

Some self-described conservatives aren’t too pleased by the evolution.

“It’s a moderate Republican majority — that’s what we have,” said Sen. John Lamping, a Republican from St. Louis County who frequently bemoaned his colleagues’ impure conservative ideology.

At a post-session news conference, House Speaker Tim Jones insisted that “bipartisanship can still also be conservative.”

“I can call the agenda conservative, principled but productive,” said Jones, R-Eureka.

Board seeks input on commissioner TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas State Board of Education members plan to have meetings across the state to ask their constituents what experience and skills they see as essential for a new education commissioner.

The board is describ-

Thursday at Bonner Springs High School in Bonner Springs. It will be hosted by the local state board member, Democrat Janet Waugh.

The board says several more focus groups

VETO: Youths to benefit Continued from A1 ly childhood development initiatives throughout the state.

Legislators in the final minutes of this year’s budget negotiations voted to divert the money to the Kansas Bioscience Authority, saying the agency could use it to broaden and strengthen the state’s economy.

The transfer would have increased the bioscience authority’s budget from $27 million to $32 million.

“There is no wrong use of these funds,” Rep. Gene Suellentrop, a Wichita Republican and chair of the House Appropriations Committee said Friday. “I don’t object to their staying in the KEY Fund, I just think they would be put to better use if we put them toward the KBA with all the emphasis that’s on the animal health corridor and NBAF. I’d rather see

those come to fruition a little quicker … build jobs and grow revenue for the state.”

NBAF refers to the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility planned at Kansas State University.

Legislators agreed to the KEY Fund “sweep” without subjecting the proposal to the usual hearing processes. Floor debate was minimal.

Child advocates welcomed the governor’s announcement.

“This is good news,” said Shannon Cotsoradis, chief executive of Kansas Action for Children.

“It’s a small v i c tory to hang on to the $5 Cotsoradis m i l lion, but it’s a really important victory – that’s assuming it doesn’t get

swept next year.”

Earlier this year, Kansas received $62 million in master settlement payments, roughly $7 million more than legislators had agreed to spend on children’s programs.

The sweep would have left $2 million in the KEY Fund’s reserves.

The reserves have been swept several times in the master settlement’s 15-year history.

“If you added up all the sweeps, they’d be in the neighborhood of $140 million to $150 million,” Cotsoradis said.

“The KEY Fund has been used repeatedly as a piggy bank that lawmakers have raided whenever they felt like it. In fact, this (Brownback) veto may be the first veto around a KEY Fund sweep that we’ve ever had.”

Last year, lawmakers pulled $9.5 million from the fund.

rights movement.

“We must fund our public schools, and we must give children the ladder of education and economic opportunity,” said Randi Weingarten, the AFT’s national president. “That is the moral imperative of Brown v.

Board of Education.”

Brownback last month signed legislation boosting aid to poor school districts to comply with

a Kansas Supreme Court order from March in a lawsuit that parents and school districts filed in 2010. However, educators don’t believe it is enough to adequately fund schools, and the teacher tenure and corporate tax-credit measures were attached.

But Brownback spokeswoman Eileen Hawley pointed to state data showing that school districts have added

more than 600 teachers since the 2010-11 school year, when the governor took office. And the Shawnee Mission district in Johnson County, one of the state’s largest, agreed to its first pay raises for teachers in four years.

Hawley said Brownback wants to get more money into classrooms and his priority is “more and better-paid teachers.”

month.

The report stated that at least four employees — three aides and a nurse — had been verbally or physically abusive toward a resident who was described as having “disorganized thinking” and a “severe cognitive impairment.”

A portion of the findings in the report were linked to a clandestine video from an unidentified “outside source” that showed a night-shift nurse dragging the resident from a wheelchair, dropping the resident to the floor “in the middle of the room directly onto the resident’s bottom,” and leaving the resident alone in the dark. The resident can be heard pleading for help on the video.

An aide helped the resident back into bed after the resident had been on the floor for almost 45 minutes.

In the video, the aide can be heard “sternly” telling the resident, “You are not the only person here. You have taken away from other people needing care.

You have been in here acting a fool.”

Later, the nurse can be seen throwing “a neck pillow at the resident, hitting the resident in the face,” and telling the resident to shut up.

by name or by gender, Andover Police Department Lt. Brandon Stewart on Thursday said the resident and employees are women.

The video, he said, was taken by family members who “had reason to believe their mother was being abused.”

Family members, Stewart said, shared the video with police on Nov. 3, 2013. The incident involving the resident being dropped on the floor occurred between 2 .a.m. and 3 a.m. on Sept. 2, 2013.

Divinney said that if charges are filed, the video “would be among the exhibits that would be used against a defendant in trial.”

The KDADS surveyors also cited Victoria Falls for poor care, poor recordkeeping, being understaffed, not performing background checks on prospective employees, not doing enough to investigate reports of suspected abuse and neglect, not doing enough to ensure residents’ dignity, not doing enough to keep track of residents’ personal funds, and not doing enough to prevent cuts and bruises.

The $155,800 fine is thought to be the largest levied against a Kansas nursing home.

“I’ve been at this for some 15 years now, and I don’t recall a fine of that size,” said Debra Zehr, chief executive of LeadingAge Kansas,

a trade association that represents many of the state’s nonprofit, longterm care facilities.

“The findings at Victoria Falls are horrifying and indicate not just an instance in which a single worker committed abuse, but rather a top-down culture that permitted verbal and physical abuse,” Zehr wrote in an email to KHI News Service.

The fine, imposed by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, represents an $8,200-per-day penalty for each day – March 26 through April 13 – that Victoria Falls was found to be out of compliance with state and federal safety standards. An additional $1,000 fine is being levied for each day the facility remains out of compliance after April 13.

Victoria Falls, which has about 60 residents, is owned and operated

by Watercrest Communities and DB Consulting, Andover-based companies owned by Dennis and Debbie Bush.

According to the Watercrest Communities website, the company also owns Victoria Falls Assisted Living in Andover; Carrington at Cherry Creek, an assisted living facility in Wichita; and Carrington Health Center, a residential health care facility in Wichita.

The Bushes have the right to appeal the findings and the fines.

Iola tennis duo finish ninth in state

By SPENCER MICHELSON The Iola Register

WINFIELD — Those with high blood pressure would have been advised not to watch Iola High’s duo of senior Bryan Mueller and sophomore Colby Works play tennis over the weekend.

The Mustang doubles team took ninth out of 24 teams at the Class 4A State Tennis Tournament, a ranking that belies the competitive nature of their play. Mueller, a senior, and Works, a sophomore, went to tiebreakers in four out of the six matches they played.

“The tournament was a success and we got to end on a win,” coach Joe Turner said.

“We had a 4-2 record, so that’s awesome. They made it come to the wire every time, but it was really nice to come out on a win.”

After losing the first match on Friday — a three-set heartbreaker in which every set went to tiebreakers — the Iolans played two more mustwin matches in order to advance to Saturday.

They won their second match 9-7 against Bishop Miege’s Nate Mohler and Tom Ajard.

Their next match didn’t come as easily. Andover Central’s Jacob Murray and Matt Flynn took the first three points of the match, putting Iola in a hole from the start.

Mueller and Works responded by winning seven of the next nine points, seemingly on the way to a victory. But Murray and Flynn bounced back to tie the score at 8-8, forcing another tiebreaker. Mueller and Works survived, winning the tiebreaker 7-5 to move onto Saturday.

IOLA’S HOPES for fifth place went for naught Saturday morning, with a 9-3 loss to Bobby Ho and Ross Benavides of Parsons, the same duo that defeated Mueller and Works in a match one week earlier at regionals. The score wasn’t indicative of how Iola played.

Every match point went to deuce, but Iola just couldn’t come out on top.

Still stinging from the loss, Mueller and Works dropped the first three points to Hayden’s Ben Heath and Josh Russell. But, much like the rest of the weekend, they came back to force a tiebreaker. Again, they won the tiebreaker, 7-5.

Bryan Mueller, left, and Colby Works, each serve during the Class 4A State Tennis Tournament Saturday. This was their final season playing together since Mueller graduated. Works will be a junior next season. REGISTER/SPENCER MICHELSON “Tiebreakers must be our thing,” Mueller said. “We only lost two this whole season, I think, and they were this weekend.”

Iola’s pair finished the day against Buhler’s Lucas Caywood and Hank Goertzen for ninth.

“It started off really well, then in a few sections we kind of had a lapse,” Works said.

“Then, once we were down three points and three match points, we kind of just picked it up. We started to like not think about it and just started playing.”

Buhler had an 8-5 advantage, needing only one point to secure the match.

“I was thinking that was the end of it,” Mueller said. “I See TENNIS | Page B4

Gordon powers Royals past Orioles KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Alex Gordon had two firsts Sunday: six RBIs and a curtain call.

Gordon went 4 for 4 with a pair of three-run homers and a career-high six RBIs as the Kansas City Royals beat the Baltimore Orioles 8-6.

Gordon drove a 1-1 pitch from Ubaldo Jimenez (2-5) out to right with two outs in the fifth with Nori Aoki and Billy Butler aboard. Gordon, who led the Royals with 20 home runs last year, had gone 134 atbats without a home run.

Gordon homered in his next at-bat, a three-run shot off left-hander Troy Patton in the seventh after Eric Hosmer walked and Butler doubled for his third hit.

The Kauffman Stadium crowd then gave Gordon a lengthy standing ovation, calling him out of the dugout.

Gordon said he had “never” had a curtain call.

“I didn’t know what to do,” Gordon said. “They told me just to go wave my helmet.

They just started yelling at

Coaching legend dies SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Don Meyer, one of the winningest coaches in college basketball who came back from a near-fatal car accident and liver cancer before closing out his career, died Sunday in South Dakota. He was 69.

Meyer led his teams into the playoffs 19 times and compiled a 923-324 during his 38-year career, most of which he spent at Lipscomb in Tennessee and Northern State in South Dakota.

The former Northern State coach died Sunday morning of cancer at his home in Aberdeen, where he had recently gone into hospice care, family spokeswoman Brenda Dreyer said.

“He won his greatest victory and is now running again and gearing up to pitch nine innings,” the Meyer family said in a statement.

“The family appreciates the outpouring of love, prayers and concern.”

Four months after a near-fatal car accident and a cancer diagnosis, Meyer passed Bob Knight as the NCAA’s winningest coach in men’s basketball history in 2009. The native of Wayne, Nebraska, retired following the 2010 season at Northern State and a 13-14 record — only his fourth losing season.

Some of the greatest names in college basketball were his biggest fans, including Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski, who surpassed Meyer’s record in 2012 and once said Meyer did “a wonderful job of giving back to our great game.” Former Tennessee women’s coach Pat Summitt, who holds the all-time win record for college basketball, has called Meyer “truly one of the best teachers in the history of the game.”

Jerry Meyer played for his dad at Lipscomb from 1989 to 1992, and credits his dad’s success with a seamless, on-and offcourt philosophy that lent itself to an exciting game.

“He was a tough coach to play for, very demanding physically and mentally. But that’s what made him a great coach, and why all his players, he influenced their lives so much and produced so many coaches,” Jerry Meyer said.

Fruit drinks can be sugar bombs Dear Dr. Roach: I’m a 76-year-old woman who enjoys a 6-ounce glass of ruby-red grapefruit juice every morning before my breakfast of cereal, half a banana and coffee. My husband has been trying to convince me that I should stop having my morning juice, as it is a real “sugar bomb.” Is he correct in his thinking?

Answer: A 6-ounce glass of grapefruit juice is a perfectly reasonable serving size. Six ounces would contain about 16 grams of sugar.

That’s less than half of what’s in a can of soda, and although it’s a good chunk of your daily sugar intake, if that’s where you want to have it, that’s fine. Your husband should lighten up.

I see people drinking 64 ounces of juice or soda. THOSE are sugar bombs.

Dear Dr. Roach: I just found out that I have lipedema, a rare disease.

What can I do about it?

Should I find relatives who have it? My mom and dad don’t have it, nor other family. Should I try to find which relatives have it? I am told that it

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health is an inherited disease.

None of these “family” ever had it! — L.Q. Answer: Lipedema is indeed a rare disease, although it may be underdiagnosed. It almost always is found in women, and is suspected when there is marked fat deposition symmetrically between the waist and ankles. The areas affected often are tender or painful to the touch. It is not the same as lymphedema, fluid increase due to poorly functioning or damaged lymph vessels, although people with lipedema can develop lymphedema.

Treatment includes compression garments or manual lymph drainage, often combined with surgical treatments such as liposuction.

Only about 15 percent of people with lipedema

have a family history. It’s not surprising that you can’t find relatives with it.

More information is available at several support groups, and at www. c u re l i p e d e m a . o r g / l i pedema/.

Dear

Dr.

Roach:

Please address the possible health risks of using decaffeinated coffee. Is the process used harmful? Is the decaffeinated product approved by the Food and Drug Administration? I try to avoid caffeine and consume a lot of decaf coffee each day, hence exposing myself to greater amounts of what is reported to be residue from the decaffeination process.

Answer: There are four ways to decaffeinate coffee: two use organic chemical solvents (methylene chloride and ethyl acetate), and there’s carbon dioxide and water.

Your question is about the amount of the organic solvents left in in the first two methods.

(Incidentally, “organ-

ic” has two meanings.

To a chemist, “organic” means “carbon- and hydrogen-containing,” so both methylene chloride and ethyl acetate are organic compounds.

The common use of “organic” now means foods grown without synthetic chemicals, and among other things, avoiding use of antibiotics, pesticides and prohibited fertilizers. These terms often are in direct conflict with one another.)

The amount of residual solvent in decaffeinated coffee and tea is set by the FDA at less than 10 parts per million; most commercial decaf coffee is closer to 1 ppm.

The FDA has found that this level does not pose a threat to human health.

If you still are concerned, you can purchase coffee that has been decaffeinated by the water process (sometimes called Swiss water process) or by carbon dioxide, neither of which leaves chemical residues.

was already thinking of giving Colby a hug afterwards, telling him how good of a season we had and then all of a sudden, Colby steps up clutch-like and just owned.”

Works served up three straight aces, to pull the score to 8-6.

The pair then won the next two points to force another tiebreaker, a fitting way to end the weekend and season.

Again, the boys won the tiebreaker 7-5, to take the win.

Works and Mueller finished the season 27-7 in only the second season they played together. (This also was the second season they had even played competitive tennis.)

Mueller appreciated what they had accomplished.

“I didn’t even know what to think,” Mueller said. “I was just trying to get a hold of the game. I never would have thought that we’d

do this well.”

Works said that their goal was to make it to state, but once they got there they wanted to finish in the top 15.

Works doesn’t know whether he’ll find a new partner for doubles or give singles tennis a try for next year.

“It kind of depends on how much I like singles when I go overseas this next semester,” Works said.

Works is going to England as an exchange student from August to mid-December. He plans on joining tennis clubs while there.

AT THE same time of the tournament, Mueller’s sister, Brooke, was getting married. The wedding started at 4 p.m., while the tournament ended at 3. Mueller arrived in time for his sister’s reception.

“Definitely felt really bad about missing my sister’s wedding,” he said.

Royals: defeat the Orioles Continued from B1

Shields settled down after a three-run third when he gave up five hits, including four straight to open the inning.

“The difference (was) I was getting my ground balls and they found holes,” Shields said of the third inning. “I was making my pitches, trying to get a double play that inning and they were just finding some good holes.”

Jimenez, who was 2-0 with a 0.46 ERA in his first three May starts, was pulled after five innings. He permitted five runs on eight hits with one walk and seven strikeouts.

“The pitch to Gordon was uncharacteristic,” Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. “He had, really, just the one (bad) pitch to Gordon.

threw a lot of sinkers down and they found the hole every time.

They had a really good game. There’s nothing I can do but move on.”

Gordon’s second homer turned out to be necessary. Adam Jones hit a three-run homer off Royals reliever Aaron Crow in the ninth. It was the first runs Crow allowed in 20 relief appearances and 17 innings.

Greg Holland got the final two outs for his 12th save in 13 appearances.

James Shields (6-3) picked up his fifth win in six starts, holding the Orioles to three runs and nine hits over seven innings. Shields won back-to-back starts at Kauffman Stadium for the first time.

He tried to go down and away, and it came back in and came into a sweet spot. He hadn’t walked anybody to that point, either. Except for one pitch I thought he was good. After the first inning he was pretty crisp.”

Nick Markakis singled home J.J. Hardy, who had three hits, and David Lough in the Orioles’ third. Manny Machado, who had three hits, had a sacrifice fly in the third to score Jonathan Schoop for the other run off Shields.

Butler singled home Aoki with two outs in the first for the first Kansas City run. Lorenzo Cain’s single in the fourth scored Gordon with the other Royals’ run.

Notes: RHP Dylan

Bundy, the Orioles’ top prospect and the fourth overall pick in the 2011 draft, is scheduled to throw an inning in extended spring Tuesday in Florida. It will be his first time to face opposing hitters since having Tommy John surgery last June 27. .Royals 2B Omar Infante, who is on the disabled list with a lower back disc irritation, has begun to hit off the tee and is taking slow rollers. .The Orioles dropped to 1-6 in Sunday games. They are 21-14 on other days. ... Both managers, Ned Yost and Showalter, won challenge reviews: Yost in the fourth inning when Gordon was called out at second, Showalter in the seventh when Cain was first ruled safe for an infield single.

That was overturned.

California Chrome wins The Preakness

By ALICIA W. HUGHES Lexington Herald-Leader

BALTIMORE (MCT) — Neither trainer Art Sherman nor co-owner Steve Coburn could see.

From the minute the gates sprung open releasing the 10-horse arsenal for the 139th Preakness Stakes, the 77-year-old Sherman and his 61-year-old client had so many cameras in their face they could barely make out what kind of path their classic-winning colt was carving out over the Pimlico Race Course oval.

Behind the lenses and bodies in front of them, Sherman and Coburn strained as Kentucky Derby hero California Chrome got into his ideal stalking position during the second leg of the Triple Crown only to have his mettle tested in the 13/16-mile event while still gaining his rhythm down the backside.

“I didn’t even get to see the race,” Coburn said. “I said to my wife (Carolyn) ‘Where is he?’

She said, ‘He’s in the lead. He’s going to win the race’ ... then I saw him.”

Coburn is the first to tell everyone he saw all of this coming some time ago. After all but guaranteeing victory on the first Saturday in May, the Triple Crown aspirations Coburn spoke of in terms of “when” not “if ” are now barreling forward bright and strong for the racing world to see.

For the 13th time in the last 36 years, the elusive Triple Crown will be on the line when the Belmont Stakes takes place on June 7 as Kentucky Derby winner California Chrome added the Preakness Stakes to his resume when he defeated Ride On Curlin by 1{-lengths before a record crowd of 123,469 on Saturday.

In earning his sixth consecutive victory dating back to last December, California Chrome has earned the right to try and add his name to the velvet-rope list of

California Chrome powers around the fourth turn in the 139th Preakness Stakes at Pilmico Race Course in Baltimore on Saturday. California Chrome won, setting up a shot at the first Triple Crown since 1978. Karl Merton Ferron/Baltimore Sun/MCT racing demigods. Only 11 horses have completed the Derby, Preakness, Belmont sweep — and none since Affirmed did the deed in 1978.

Where his prior five victories had a combined win margin of 26 lengths, the chestnut son of Lucky Pulpit had to get down and fight en route to his eighth career win in 12 starts.

Pushed by Social Inclusion to advance up from his position in third from just past the halfmile mark, California Chrome made what could have been a compromising sustained run — just the latest example of his class superiority.

“It was tough today.

It was tough because this race was just a little complicated,” said jockey Victor Espinoza, who has been aboard California Chrome this entire win streak and himself has a second chance at a Triple Crown sweep, having piloted 2002 Derby-Preakness winner War Emblem before finishing off the board in the Belmont. “He (Social Inclusion) was pushing me, he made me move at the half-mile post.

“I really didn’t want to. I thought I was in a perfect position and I just wanted to wait as long as I can. But when the outside horse at-

tached me, I had to let it go, slowly.”

Superior horses can make superior trips for themselves. And California Chrome’s smooth acceleration is the silver bullet that continues to take down would-be rivals.

“I had a camera point

blank in my face but I got a chance to see the board and ... I knew going into that first turn Victor was in that position,” Sherman said. “When I saw him at the half-mile pole having dead aim on the leaders, I said now, Victor, we’re in the driver’s seat.”
