Diver turns up bad news for Humboldt Shannon Harrison is the lead instructor for the new construction trades class that starts Monday at the new tech ed center at the old Dieboldt Lumber facility near LaHarpe.

By BOB JOHNSON The Iola Register

HUMBOLDT — Things turned sour in Humboldt Thursday when an underwater examination of raw water intake procedures revealed a proliferation of zebra mussels as well as malfunctioning equipment.

About 10 years ago the mechanism that controls a valve on one of two Neosho River intakes malfunctioned. On Thursday city officials had a hired diver from Gardner take a look — feel, actually, since the murky water prevented him from seeing past the port in his helmet — as to what was holding things up.

Within an hour diver Chris Smith asked for tools to try to free the frozen shut valve. No luck.

Second piece of bad news: He also found the second sluice valve didn’t budge

New tech ed center opens Monday

AHARPE — A new era in education within Allen County opens its doors Monday morning when the first construction trades students arrive for school.

As of Friday, 27 students were enrolled in the Fort Scott Community College course, the first to be offered at the new technical education center in the former Diebolt Lumber Company facility southeast of LaHarpe.

The students — primar-

ily from Iola, Marmaton Valley and Uniontown high schools — will be greeted by head instructor Shannon Harrison, a construction veteran of more than 37 years.

“I’ve been excited about this since I heard about it,” Harrison said. “I’m so on board for our kids. There are going to be some rock stars come out of this program, I promise you.”

Through the program, students can earn an associate of applied science degree in construction trades.

Students can then seamlessly further their education at a university — credits are

transferable — while some may go straight into the workforce.

Because it’s a college course, made possible through Kansas Senate Bill 155, anybody can enroll; not just high-schoolers.

“Even you could sign up,” Harrison told a Register reporter Friday morning.

“You could be 60 and enroll.”

The program is set up so participating high school students can take the course free of charge. (The cost to each school district is $280 per student). Non-traditionSee CLASS | Page A5

Area farmers recognized for service

By SUSAN LYNN The Iola Register

It’s a good thing Maynard and Jeanice Cress had no say in the matter. Because the self-effacing couple are the last to think they deserve to be recognized for what they consider as just part of life’s work.

Even so, the Cresses were the stars of Thursday night’s Allen County Farm Bureau annual banquet as their neighbors and friends rose to their feet as the Cresses came forward to receive the 2016 Lifetime Achievement Award.

The Cresses have raised cattle and crops for the past 56 years in rural Humboldt.

Maynard’s first vehicle was a tractor, not a pickup, so he could farm land rented from a neighbor.

Jeanice served 40 years as the home economics Extension agent for Allen County.

Between the two, they have served on multiple boards including 4-H, the Humboldt Methodist Church, the Kansas Livestock Association and the Allen County Fair.

Hospital’s struggles spur mental health symposium

By ANDY MARSO KHI News Service

Experts from a variety of fields gathered Wednesday at the Statehouse for a mental health symposium spurred by an Emporia hospital’s struggle last year to find a psychiatric care bed for a suicidal patient.

House Speaker Pro Tem Peggy Mast, a Republican from Emporia, said she was inspired to convene the symposium after hearing from officials at Newman Regional Health.

That hospital nearly lost federal certification after a botched transfer of a patient who was having chest pains

Diver: Zebra mussel infestation found at Humboldt Continued from A1

er, Herder resigned himself to the inevitable — the valves, as well as control shafts and gears, will have to be replaced.

When that will occur, he doesn’t know. Engineers from Kramer Consulting, Topeka, were on hand to confer. They will help with acquiring valves and other equipment to put the intake system back to 100 percent. (Kramer Consulting designed Humboldt’s water plant, including intake system, that went on line in 1981.)

If that weren’t enough for one day, Smith also scraped a double handful of zebra mussels attached to one of the dysfunctional control rods. “They’re a huge problem,� Herder said, one so severe that the minute the mussels were retrieved they were doused in bleach. “That kills them,� said Steve Doleshal, another diver from Utility Diving Services.

So dreaded is the spread of the mussels that after tools used in the dive came from the water, they were sprayed

with liquid bleach to prevent any minute organism from growing and being transported to another job site.

Concern is twofold.

The mussels can cover screens placed over intakes and slow or practically stop inflow. Also, they can find their way into a pipeline — Humboldt’s is a quarter of a mile long — that carries raw water to a processing plant. No indication of feeder pipeline infestation has been found — yet.

Elsewhere that has occurred, said Jake Fault, another diver.

At Osage City, an 11-mile transport pipe was so clogged with the mussels water volume dropped off to the point city officials thought the line had developed an extreme leak.

Keith Nickel, plant supervisor, said 120,000 gallons were pumped to the plant twice a day — noon and midnight — for processing, so far with no noticeable glitches.

Now it’s a waiting game with the intake valve problems — to de-

THE DIVERS were in town for a second project, to remove a small tree with limbs protruding above the water line jammed along the north and west sides of the 40foot intake silo. The tree arrived during high water a few months ago. The concrete silo, with a footthick wall, has an outside diameter of 10 feet. Atop is a small building containing controls.

The tree alone

wouldn’t be of great concern, Herder allowed, but his fear was it would lead to a more extensive buildup.

Smith returned to the water, worked his way to the tree and after several attempts admitted its removal was beyond his strength.

That called for a huddle. The solution, all agreed, was to find a boat to ferry a rope across the stream so workers could pull over a cable to fasten to the submerged tree.

enforcement officer, chugged into Neosho River Park, west of the river across from the water intake, with a spool of 3/8-inch steel cable on the bucket of a large front-end loader.

Herder contacted Johnny Rinehart, who lives just west of the river. He has a boat and a slip about 200 yards north of the bridge. Son Rodney Rinehart soon was headed downstream in an aluminum fishing boat powered by a trolling motor.

Once the cable was pulled over, Smith, the diver, donned his gear, lopped along the river’s bottom and secured the cable to the tree.

With cable attached, Bulk backed the loader and the tree, roots and all, gave way — save a branch that broke loose and meandered downstream.

That ended four-plus hours of less than welcome events on a positive note, although it cost Humboldt $550 an hour for divers and $400 an hour for advice from Kramer Consulting.

After being hired by FSCC to oversee the construction trades class earlier this summer, Harrison visited at length with instructors at similar programs at Pittsburg State University and in Missouri.

“Right off the bat, our focus will be safety,” he said. “We’ll teach them how to read a tape, how to swing a hammer.”

Officially, three classes will be taught in the fall semester — introduction to craft skills; safety orientation; and floors, walls and ceiling framing.

From there, the class can be molded to follow one of several directions.

The PSU program, for example, entails students building sheds and outbuildings during their classes.

Harrison envisions something similar for the local program, or perhaps even more elaborate structures. Those details still need to be ironed out, he noted.

“The key part is we

“We’re blessed to have this location, that’s for sure,” he said.

can change the program to fit our needs,” Harrison said. “We just need to make sure we go through the red tape.”

HARRISON’S “classroom” has been a construction site for the past 37 years.

“I’ve had up to 18 employees,” he said. “About the only thing that’s different here are the class rules and restrictions.”

Harrison was born and raised in Los Angeles before buying a farm near Bronson about 25 years ago.

Since then, he’s worked in all aspects of

construction.

“There’s not much I haven’t seen,” he said.

His curriculum has been established by the National Center For Construction Education and Research.

Harrison will have one other instructor to help him work with the 27 students.

“I imagine once word spreads we’ll get more students,” he said. “I’ve heard from people very excited about this program.”

GETTING THE tech ed center off the ground — seemingly an im-

possible dream a year ago — hit high gear in January after Maloney acquired the old Diebolt property and offered up its use for the program.

“My impression was that Ray feels so passionately about this, and he knows the area, and he knows what fits,” Harrison said. “And he’s put his money where his mouth is. We have a program here that benefits everybody.”

Plans are in the works to establish welding and nursing courses soon as well, with other courses mentioned.

“I’ve heard lots of

‘pros’ about this class and what it means,” Harrison said. “I’ve yet to here a ‘con.’”

Harrison lauded the school boards, superintendents and students themselves for being a part of the process.

And with other players on board, from construction companies to tool suppliers, Harrison envisions a viable, selfsustaining program, one that churns out skilled students and workers, while being self-sufficient for the surrounding communities in a spacious, stateof-the-art facility.

HARRISON returns to the program’s first focus — safety.

As the first day nears, he has been organizing the newly acquired tools the classes will utilize.

“Who wouldn’t want to use brand new tools,” he asked. “We’re talking state of the art equipment.”

The Ridgid brand table saws, for example, have a safety mechanism “that literally makes it impossible for your to cut your finger,” he said.

A safety sensor immediately stops the blade before it can even pierce the skin.

“In my years, I’ve taken a few guys to the hospital because of table saws,” he said. “Their minds were somewhere else, when they should have focused on what they were working with.”

Harrison is confident the students are up to the task.

“I’ve been in $1 (million), $2 (million), $3 million homes, and the craftsmanship necessary,” he said. “The key will be how the individual student soaks in this information, grabs it and runs with it.”

Miami a hot spot for Zika virus MIAMI (AP) — South Beach has been identified as a second site of Zika transmission by mosquitoes on the U.S. mainland, and containing it there will be difficult because high-rise buildings and strong winds make it impractical to spray the neighborhood from the air, officials said Friday.

Five cases of Zika have been connected to mosquitoes in Miami Beach, bringing the state’s caseload to 36 infections not related to travel outside the U.S., Florida’s governor and health department announced Friday.

The discovery prompted the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to announce that it was ex-

panding its travel warning for pregnant women to include an area in Miami Beach known for nightclubs, pedestrian thoroughfares and beaches.

The CDC previously warned pregnant women to avoid the Wynwood arts district in Miami. In its statement Friday, the agency said pregnant women may also want to consider postponing nonessential travel throughout Miami-Dade County if they’re concerned about potential exposure to the mosquito-borne virus.

“We’re in the midst of mosquito season and expect more Zika infections in the days and months to come,” said CDC director Dr. Tom Frieden. “It is difficult

to predict how long active transmission will continue.”

Aerial spraying and door-to-door operations on the ground have cut mosquito populations in Wynwood by up to 90 percent, but Zika may be continuing as mosquitoes breed, Frieden told reporters Friday.

“The mosquitoes are persistent and we won’t know for a couple of weeks whether these aggressive measures have worked,” Frieden said.

Aerial spraying isn’t practical over South Beach because of the height of its buildings and strong winds over the narrow island city, Frieden said. Officials will be limited to spraying for mosquitoes at ground level in the highly populated area.

Health: Emporia hospital’s struggles spark symposium Continued from A1

and thoughts of suicide.

Robert Wright, CEO of the Emporia hospital, told officials with the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services that a lack of mental health beds in the state was forcing hospitals like his to hold patients in emergency rooms for days, with little or no compensation in some cases.

During Wednesday’s symposium, Wright said he and his staff are being forced to make difficult decisions.

“The (mental health) system has worked less and less and less well, to now the point where it is really our biggest problem,” he said. “I’ve been running hospitals for decades. Used to be you worried about money. Now I worry about how do we care for these mental health patients in a way that’s appropriate for them without bankrupting my hospital.”

Wright said the mismatch between the number of psychiatric beds and the number of Kansans who need them is a problem that has been festering for decades. A move toward community-based care rather than institutionalization that began in the 1960s led to the closure of facilities like Topeka State Hospital, but the funding for community-based programs never lived

up to the plan.

DEBORAH Stern, senior vice president of clinical services and general counsel for the Kansas Hospital Association, said fewer patient beds and an admissions moratorium at Osawatomie State Hospital — one of two mental health facilities left in the state — severely compounded the problem.

Stern said one large hospital in Johnson County reported a total of 318 hours that patients spent waiting for a bed at Osawatomie State Hospital during the first four months of 2015, with 23 hours the longest wait. During the first four months of 2016, the total number of hours waiting had jumped to 1,466, with 44-hour waits typical and the longest wait clocking in at 128 hours — or more than five days.

“Our emergency rooms, they’re really backed up,” Stern said.

“They don’t have enough providers. As it is, psychiatrists are really hard to find.”

Solving the provider shortage will be difficult, she said. But expanding Medicaid eligibility under the Affordable Care Act would help, Stern said, because many Kansans with mental health issues lack insurance.

Tim Keck, secretary of the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services, said staffing at Osawatomie State Hospital is stabilizing thanks in part to raises approved by the Legislature. He has said the hospital is working toward federal recertification, which would open more beds.

OTHER possible solutions emerged to help fill cracks in the mental health system.

Susan Crain Lewis, president and CEO of Mental Health America of the Heartland, said her nonprofit could help

train staff at Kansas schools now required to know suicide prevention techniques under the Jason Flatt Act. The two Democrats at the symposium — Rep. Nancy Lusk of Overland Park and Sen. Laura Kelly of Topeka — said the system needs improvements that will require more state funding, both for the state-run mental health hospitals and the lessintensive communitybased therapies.

“I agree with Rep. Lusk that this is going to take money,” Kelly said.

“We don’t have any right now.”

Kelly said legislators and stakeholders should focus on preparing a systemwide improvement plan in case a new Legislature changes the state’s tax structure to bring in more revenue.

Democrats like Kelly blame income tax cuts spearheaded by Gov. Sam Brownback in 2012 for throwing the state

�CALL�US�FOR�ALL�YOUR�GRAIN�HANDLING�EQUIPMENT�NEEDS!

into an ongoing budget crisis that prevents investments in state services.

Mast and other Republican leaders have steadfastly supported those cuts. But in opening remarks Wednesday, she said the state is not spending enough mon-

ey on mental health.

“I think we can all agree that we don’t have enough resources for the need and it’s putting a strain on a lot of different entities,” Mast said, “and we need to focus more on the individual needs of those that are mentally ill.”

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Plugged in doesn’t necessarily mean kids are connecting There’s a phenomenon among youth today that sociologists refer to as “glow kids,” and it’s not because they are happy.

The term refers to youth who are exposed to too much screen time. You can’t pull them away from their smart phones or tablets. Trouble can arise if instead of communicating with either their family or friends they resort to social media, which, ironically, can create anti-social behavior.

During their formative years, children learn important social cues by hanging out together.

Think back to the time of riding a bike with a friend.

Lost in conversation, you fell off, badly scraping your knee. The friend was there to offer comfort, help straighten the handlebars and steady the bike as you shakily took to the road again.

In that one instance and the hundreds that lie ahead as you played ball, fished along the creek bank, played make-believe up in a tree house, or cooked s’mores over the campfire, you learned the value of compassion and the rewards of making yourself vulnerable — both physically and socially.

Susan Lynn Register editor

That’s how relationships are made, by interacting.

But social media can isolate people, not bring them together. Texting or chatting online falls far short of oneon-one interaction. Humans thrive on hearing another’s voice, of feeling their touch, of looking into each other’s eyes.

IN THIS MONTH’S edition of Scientific American Mind, psychologists warn that children who spend too much time on social media sites such as Facebook can also become susceptible to a symptom they call social comparison, where they feel inferior because everybody else’s lives seem better judging from their posts. What they aren’t considering, of course, is that people only post their personal highlights.

What’s wrong with this picture? Unfortunately, all too often today’s youth hide behind smartphones and tablets rather than actually communicating with each other. Such anti-social behaviors have health professionals worried.

So a feeling of inferiority can ensue, causing children to withdraw into a private world of pain. I’d venture the phenomenon is not isolated to children, but adults as well.

Sociologists also report that time spent on Facebook is time spent unsatisfactorily, much like watching com-

A good idea spawned by Watergate In 1972 during a happenstance conversation, Martha Mitchell told Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward she thought presidents should be elected for seven years with no chance for a second term. Her rationale was presidents then could better stay on task without the distraction of running for re-election.

The significance of the observance, in part, was that it came when Woodward and fellow reporter Carl Bernstein were digging into what would become known as Watergate, the catch word for a break-in and bugging of the National Democratic Party headquarters by operatives who later were indelibly linked to President Nixon.

Mitchell’s husband was John Mitchell, attorney general, and a close friend to Nixon as well as a target of the two investigative reporters.

The current presidential campaigns, while not involving an incumbent, certainly are positive support for Martha Mitchell’s proposal.

Leading to primaries, candidates on both sides spent months doing nothing other

than positioning themselves, often in hateful terms, for success in state-by-state primaries and caucuses. Late in summer 2015, when Joe Biden’s name surfaced as a possible alternative to Hillary Clinton, most pundits judged it was “too late” for him to get into the fray — a year and a half from the general election.

Today, we have 80 days until the general election, and were it not for the Olympic Games and an occasional crisis, we would hear nothing other than pronouncements from and railings about Clinton and Donald Trump.

Most industrialized nations limit campaigning to a few weeks, and nowhere else are fortunes greater than many nation’s gross products spent by candidates.

terms

aren’t alone in begging consideration.

U.S House members, and representatives in Kansas, are elected to two-year terms and if we are to be honest with ourselves, many begin campaigning the day after they are elected. Again, if we are honest, so-called listening tours that bring members of Congress home most weekends — when their time would be better spent on task in Washington — are little more than opportunities to have their photos in the local newspaper glad-handing constituents.

U.S. senators have advantage of six years, which alone makes theirs the more august body, and Kansas senators have four years, which give them more time to digest and decide.

The Register for years has been opposed to term limits, arguing that voters have that option each election, but perhaps it would be worth taking another look.

An incumbent who makes few waves, follows party line and smiles a lot often has a job for life — whether they deserve it or not.

ALL THIS illustrates how the world is becoming more complicated for young

parents. When my children were young all we had to do was turn off the TV to bring them back into the real world. But the tentacles of today’s technology are more far-reaching, and, it seems, intractable, demanding greater oversight by parents.

In this case, the progress is quantifiable.

Letter to the editor Dear editor,

Your editorial in the Aug. 13 Iola Register concerning the Confederate flag seems to indicate that either, (A) you were asleep or cutting classes during the Civil War lectures in American History, or (B) you harbor a serious prejudice about those who exercise their freedom of expression in ways contrary to your own beliefs.

Let’s examine a few facts: Yes, the Stars and Bars was the official flag of the Confederate States of America during the Civil War. But it had absolutely nothing to do with the Ku Klux Klan. The Civil War ended in 1865 and the flag become historical. The Klan didn’t come into being until later, during the Reconstruction Period. And where do you get the idea that displaying a Confederate flag says you are anti-Semitic? Judaism is thousands of years old. All through American history, Jewish people have contributed to society just as much as gentiles. Anti-Semitism is a matter of personal choice, not group inclination. The flag has nothing to do with it.

And white supremacy. You stated that displaying a Confederate flag says one believes in it. The vast majority of people think that the war was fought to free black people from slavery. The historical fact is that slavery was only a secondary issue in the war.

The real issue was state’s rights. Amendment 10 of the Bill of Rights (ratified Feb. 7, 1795) states: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

In the years leading up to the war, sentiment in the northern states, fanned by fiery rhetoric from fanatical abolitionists, rose strongly

against slavery. This resulted in more and more restrictive laws being enacted by Congress, regardless of Amendment 10. Those laws posed a considerable financial threat to the largely agricultural south, whose major crop was labor-intensive cotton.

And that’s why they seceded from the Union; to escape what they felt was unlawful and unconstitutional treatment, and to have the right to determine their own future.

The flawed notion of white supremacy is a sad legacy of those times. It has nothing directly to do with the Confederate flag.

I personally disagree with the current “politically correct” notion that there is something morally wrong or near-treasonous in respecting the Confederate flag. I also feel that it is proper for that flag to fly over Civil War Confederate cemeteries. Those dead were Americans who gave their lives in defense of a lost cause that they believed in.

Those mentally sick individuals who seek justification for their murderous rampages by blaming a long-gone historical flag, would only find something else, were history different. The same can be said for anti-Semitics and white racists.

As far as displaying the flag on some youngster’s pickup goes, did you ever watch “The Dukes of Hazard” on TV? Most boys have similar harmless feelings of independence from time to time before they outgrow them. Most of them have only a hazy idea of what the flag meant, other than it had something to do with being a rebel. They mean no real harm, they’re only exercising their own civil rights.

Cut them a little slack!

Ralph Romig, Kincaid, Kan.

Major League Baseball: Royals 8, Twins 1

By JON DYKSTRA The Iola Register

Jarred Latta couldn’t have possibly imagined a better summer.

The 2012 Iola High graduate spent most of his summer working for the Omaha Storm Chasers, the Triple-A affiliate for the defending World Series Champion Kansas City Royals.

“With the Royals winning the World Series, I knew that anywhere in the organization would be a great experience to not only learn the baseball aspect, but Jarred Latta also the business side of sports,” Latta said. “I did dayto-day operations in the front office. I got experience in the ticket office, at the ticket window and calling season-ticket holders; I worked with the promotions group, the marketing group, the advertising group and the corporate sales group.

I really was happy to get that experience with a lot of different departments.”

Latta served as an intern as part of his work to finish his undergraduate degree in sports management from the University of Kansas. During his extensive internship, he was able to rub elbows with some of the main cogs in the Royals organization.

“With the Royals winning it all, I had heard the talk about the camaraderie in the front office was the best in baseball and now looking back on that, I can first-hand say that the Kansas City Royals run a firstclass organization from the top-down,” Latta said. “I built relationships with the entire office. “(Royals’ general manag-

Gordon hits grand slam as Royals dispatch Minnesota

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Alex Gordon has been battling most of the season to raise his average above .200. Now he is the hottest hitter on the American League’s hottest team.

Gordon hit a grand slam, Dillon Gee pitched seven strong innings and the Kansas City Royals beat the Minnesota Twins 8-1 on Thursday night.

The Royals have won five straight and eight of nine to move above .500 for the first time since July 22. Royals starting pitchers have a 1.61 ERA in the five-game winning streak, allowing 23 hits and six earned runs in 33 2-3 innings, while striking out 27 and walking seven.

Gordon, who was hitting .199 with

16 RBIs on Aug. 9, extended his hitting streak to a season-best nine games, hiking his average to .219.

Gordon has homered in three consecutive games.

“I was probably trying to do too much, trying to get out of a slump, which it’s hard not to do,” Gordon said. “I’m just trying to stay with the basics and put together good at-bats and luckily it’s been happening a little bit more lately.”

Gee (5-6) picked up the Royals’ first victory from a No. 5 starter since May 31. The Royals are 9-21 is games started by the fifth starter.

Not much.

Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort resigns WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump’s campaign chairman Paul Manafort resigned on Friday in the wake of campaign shake-up and revelations about his work in Ukraine.

In a statement issued as he arrived in Louisiana to tour the floodravaged state, Trump

Manafort, Gates’ boss at the firm. But current and former employees at Mercury and a second lobbying firm, the Podesta Group, some of whom spoke on condition of anonymity because they are subject to non-disclosure agreements, told the AP that Manafort oversaw the lobbying efforts and spoke

Emails [from] Manafort’s deputy.... showed that Manafort’s firm, DMP International LLC, directly orchestrated a covert Washington lobbying operation on behalf of Ukraine’s then-ruling political party.

said Manafort offered his resignation Friday morning. The billionaire called Manafort “a true professional.”

Manafort’s resignation comes a day after The Associated Press reported that confidential emails from Manafort’s firm contradicted his claims that he had never lobbied on behalf of Ukrainian political figures in the U.S. Trump’s son, Eric Trump, told Fox News in an interview that will air Sunday that his father worried questions about Manafort’s past were taking attention away from the billionaire’s presidential bid.

Emails between Manafort’s deputy, Rick Gates, also a top Trump adviser, and the lobbying firm Mercury LLC showed that Manafort’s firm, DMP International LLC, directly orchestrated a covert Washington lobbying operation on behalf of Ukraine’s then-ruling political party.

The effort included not just legislative outreach but also attempts to sway American public opinion and gather political intelligence on competing lobbying efforts in the U.S. The emails obtained by the AP do not describe details about the role of

by phone about them.

Manafort and Gates never registered as foreign agents for their work as required under federal law.

Under the U.S. Foreign Agents Registration Act, people who lobby on behalf of foreign political figures or political parties must provide detailed reports about their actions to the Justice Department’s counterespionage unit. A violation is a felony and can result in up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.

Also Friday, Ukrainian anti-corruption investigators released copies of handwritten ledgers detailing possible cash payments from Ukrainian political figures to Manafort totaling more than $12 million. Details of the payments described in the ledger were first reported

by The New York Times.

Manafort denies receiving those payments.

Earlier this week, Trump brought in a new campaign chief executive and campaign manager following a disastrous stretch in which the New Yorker committed a series of errors and fell behind Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in both national and battleground state preference polls.

Chiefs break camp with plenty of confidence ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — Kansas City Chiefs coaches, offensive players and defensive players all agree that this is the sharpest the team has looked during training camp in a long time.

Linebacker Derrick Johnson has seen about everything, having been with the team since 2005.

And he says this is the best of all of them, at least as camp breaks up.

Johnson chalks it up to a couple things: winning and Andy Reid being in charge for four years.

The Chiefs are coming off three straight winning

seasons. During Johnson’s 12 years with Kansas City, he’s only been a part of six winning seasons.

“That’s a good feeling for me,” Johnson said. “I haven’t had that feeling, this longevity, as far as winning every year. This year is not gonna be any different. We expect to win.”

Reid is feeling pretty good, too.

“It was the sharpest, but it should be the sharpest,” Reid said. “Having been together for four years, they’ve done it.

They kinda know the offense, defense and special

teams. I would tell you they started off sharp, they finished sharp.”

Quarterback Alex Smith doesn’t like comparing teams, but one thing sticks out to him that differs this 2016 team from previous squads.

“Across the board, whether it be the receiver group, the tight end group, the running back group, when you look at the skill positions, just we’re so deep, I feel like,” Smith said. “I feel like we got a lot of guys that can make plays no matter who’s in there. That’s what you

want.”

INJURIES Running back Jamaal Charles was taken off the physically unable to perform (PUP) list on Tuesday and has been easing into things. He took a few reps during 7-on-7 work Thursday. Reid said Charles will not play at Los Angeles on Saturday.

Wide receiver Jeremy Maclin did not practice on Wednesday due to a groin injury, but returned to practice on Thursday.

Reid said, “unless something crazy happens,” Maclin will play on Saturday.

Linebackers Josh Mau-

ga, Dezman Moses and Justin Houston missed practice. Mauga is recovering from a groin strain, while Moses is recovering from a glute strain. Houston is still recovering from a knee injury.

Cornerback Phillip Gaines did practice, but Reid said he will probably not play on Saturday.

Gaines is still recovering from a torn ACL. Quarterback Tyler Bray remains day-to-day with a chip fracture in his cervical spine. Running back Charcandrick West also remains day-to-day with an elbow sprain and elbow strain.

STILL NO ERIC BERRY As the Chiefs ended camp in St. Joseph, safety Eric Berry still has yet to be seen.

ROSTER MOVES Kansas City picked up former New England safety Brock Vereen off waivers on Wednesday.

To make room for Vereen, safety Akeem Davis was released.

UP NEXT The Chiefs head to Los Angeles to play the Rams in their second preseason game of the season. The game kicks off tonight at 9 o’clock.

Kansas City Chiefs defensive back Akeem Davis stretches with the team before a preseason game against the Seahawks on Aug. 13, at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. Davis was cut on Wednesday. John Sleezer/Kansas City Star/TNS

their heat behind Japan. “There was some pressure to make it to the finals,� Powell said, clearly relieved he didn’t have to deliver any bad news to his friend, who was busy preparing for the 200 final.

The American men’s 4x100 team qualified fastest for the relay final with a season’s-best 37.65.

Wednesday delivered an “awesome hour� for the American team on the track. By Thursday night, that had evolved into a pretty great 24 hours.

Alongside Eaton’s triumph, Ryan Crouser led an American one-two in the shot put, also setting an Olympic record of 22.52 meters to beat world champion Joe Kovacs. Tomas Walsh of New Zealand won bronze.

Dalilah Muhammad kept the U.S. total ticking with gold in the women’s 400-meter hurdles and Ashley Spencer added a bronze, with another American 1-2 in that race only just thwarted

by Denmark’s Sara Slott Petersen. Earlier, Kerron Clement won his first individual gold at the

For a few short moments on Day 7 the track and field competition, the U.S. women’s 4x100 relay team was a little

Tianna Bartoletta nestled into the starting blocks in lane 2 for the U.S. team’s re-run — on their own and against the clock only — after they fumbled the baton in their original qualifier, but got another chance following a protest.

With just the clock and the crowd for company, they took the baton around in 41.77 seconds

English Gardner said. “Our coach said before we went out there, ‘It’s just like practice, just the whole world will be watching. Be patient, stay patient with each other, and just do your job.�

Lochte apologizes for lack of honesty RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — U.S Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte apologized Friday for his behavior surrounding an early-morning incident at a Rio de Janeiro gas station, saying he should have been more “careful and candid� about how he described what happened after a night of partying with his teammates.

Lochte said in a lengthy post on Instagram that he was apologizing for his role in taking the focus away from other OlymRyan Lochte pic athletes. “This was a situation that could and should have been avoided,�

Lochte said. “I accept responsibility for my role in this happening and have learned some valuable lessons.�

The 12-time Olympic medalist reiterated his view that a stranger pointed a gun at him and demanded money to let him leave a gas station. Lochte had called it a gunpoint robbery; Brazilian police said he and three other swimmers vandalized a bathroom while intoxicated and were confronted by armed security guards. “Regardless of the behavior of anyone else that night, I should have been much more responsible in how I handled myself and for that am sorry,� Lochte said.

Lochte and the other swimmers could face sanctions from USA Swimming, including fines or suspension. The group, as well as Olympic officials, publicly expressed disappointment.

Lochte, 32, has said he plans to take an extended break after the Rio Games and relocate to Los Angeles. Swimming’s biggest meet next year is the world championships in Budapest, Hungary.

Until his apology, Lochte had been silent about the situation after he returned to the United States early this

and ’84.

Eaton had briefly darted away from the decathlon in the morning session to congratulate Clement as his teammate knelt exhausted in the midday sun after the hurdles final. Clement was so confident of a first Olympic individual gold, he had his mother, Claudette, bring a starspangled banner so he could drape it over his shoulders. “We had a flag at home and I told her to bring the flag. I knew I was going to win,� Clement said.

Boniface Mucheru Tumuti of Kenya took silver, 0.05 behind, and Cuban-born Yasmani Copello of Turkey won bronze in 47.92, both in national records.

South Africa’s Caster Semenya, the outright favorite for the women’s 800-meter title, qualified for the final as she breezed to victory in her semifinal heat, pretty much unchallenged, in 1 minute 58.15 seconds.

Croatia’s Sara Kolak won the women’s javelin, another first-time Olympic champion like Crouser. Sunette Viljoen took silver and Barbora Spotakova bronze.

week. He said Friday he wanted to wait to speak until the legal situation was addressed and his teammates were allowed to come home.

Two of the other swimmers, Gunnar Bentz and Jack Conger, were on their way home Friday after being held in Brazil to testify. The fourth, Jimmy Feigen, made a deal with a judge to make a $10,800 payment and leave, his lawyer said.

Local organizers and the mayor of Rio de Janeiro said they accepted Lochte’s apology. “My feeling is one of pity,� Mayor Eduardo Paes said. “They did not represent the American athletes that are here.�

The drama — and ever-changing descriptions of the alleged robbery — deeply angered Brazilians, who said it cast a pall on their city and their Olympics. The saga also dominated Olympic headlines, over-

games,� Lochte said.

Developments came rapidly after police asserted that the swimmers had not been robbed. Instead, Brazilian police said the men vandalized the bathroom while intoxicated, were questioned by guards, then paid for the damage and left. “They were not victims of the crimes they claimed,� Civil Police Chief Fernando Veloso said.

As Bentz and Conger flew home Thursday night, their attorney Sergio Riera insisted they were witnesses only, were truthful at all times and had nothing to do with Lochte’s story.

Feigen planned to donate 35,000 Brazilian reals ($10,800) to an “institution� and leave the country, his lawyer said.

Attorney Breno Melaragno didn’t specify where the money will go, but his use of the term “institution� can be

shadowing accomplishments of athletes who trained for years and set records. The situation was an enormous embarrassment for the U.S. Olympic team, which has dominated in winning medals.

Mario Andrada, spokesman for the local organizers of the Rio Games, said 2.5 percent of the mentions on the @ Rio2016 Twitter account since the beginning of the games have been about the Lochte situation. “There has already been too much said and too many valuable resources dedicated to what happened last weekend, so I hope we spend our time celebrating the great stories and performances of these

taken to mean a charity.

Under Brazilian law, a donation can be made to avoid criminal prosecution for minor offenses, he said.

Prosecutors were considering relatively minor charges of falsely reporting a crime and destruction of property, as recommended by police.

The saga began when Lochte said he, Conger, Bentz and Feigen were held at gunpoint and robbed several hours after the last Olympic swimming races ended Saturday night. Investigators couldn’t substantiate details given in early statements and interviews and the claim began to unravel.

Then security video reviewed by police and later released publicly

confirmed the vandalism and encounter with station employees.

The footage doesn’t show a weapon, but a police official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing, said two guards pointed guns at the swimmers. Veloso said the guards would have been justified in drawing their weapons because the athletes “were conducting themselves in a violent way.�

A station employee called police, but the athletes wanted to leave so paid 100 Brazilian reals (about US $33) and $20 in U.S. currency and left, Veloso said.

The police official said officers grew suspicious when video showed the swimmers returning to the athletes village wearing watches, which would have likely been taken in a robbery.

Bentz and Conger told police that Lochte lied about the situation in media interviews, according to text of the statements released by Rio police.

Lochte relayed several details to NBC’s “Today� the morning after the incident that he later backtracked from.

He first said the group was pulled over in a taxi by men with a police badge who drew guns.

He said he refused to get on the ground like the rest of his teammates and a gun was cocked and put to his forehead. “I was like ‘whatever,’� Lochte said in his initial account. “He took our money, he took my wallet — he left my cellphone, he left my credentials.�

The debacle prompted both wild speculation and social media mockery, which quickly turned to scorn after the official account went public.

While he’s medaled often, Lochte’s accomplishments have long been overshadowed by teammate Michael Phelps — the most decorated Olympian in history. Lochte won a gold in Rio in a relay race alongside Phelps.

energy-sapping events.

He finished third in the last event, the 1,500, to win gold from France’s Kevin Mayer on 8,834 points. Canada’s Damian Warner took the bronze.

Eaton has confirmed his status at the dominant decathlete of his time. “To win two Olympic golds in a row like Daley Thompson is very special,� he said, referring to the great British decathlete who won in 1980

Royals: Kansas City beats Minnesota

Ex-NFL star given 18-year sentence

Continued from B1

“I felt like I was throwing everything pretty good tonight,” Gee said.

“I had command of the off-speed stuff and the fastball command got better throughout the game. I just felt like a lot more free and easy. The curveball was good, the slider was good. It was just a good night.”

Gee, who is 3-6 in 10 starts, gave up a home run to Brian Dozier on his third pitch. It was Dozier’s 14th career leadoff homer and his 27th for the season. He has homered in five straight games against the Royals.

That was the only run Gee allowed as he limited the Twins to four singles after the home run, walked one and struck out seven. Gee’s seven innings were a season high.

“He didn’t throw too many heaters,” Twins left fielder Robbie Grossman said. “He really kept us off balance, threw his off-speed for strikes.

That was a key for him.”

Twins right-hander Tyler Duffey (8-9) retired the first 10 hitters, but only one of the final seven batters he faced before being removed by manager Paul Molitor. After Cheslor Cuthbert’s single with one out in the third, Duffey walked three and hit a batter with Gordon’s

�

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Former NFL star Darren Sharper has been sentenced to 18 years in prison in a case where he was accused of drugging and raping as many as 16 women in four states.

Judge Jane Triche Milazzo sentenced Sharper on Thursday.

He had pleaded guilty or no-contest to charges arising from the allegations of drugging and raping women in federal court in New Orleans, and state courts in Louisiana, Arizona, California and Nevada.

Prosecutors suggested a 9-year prison term for Sharper under a multi-jurisdictional plea deal, but Milazzo rejected it as too lenient in June.

The sentence was 15 months short of the maximum. He also was fined $20,000.

Sharper pleaded guilty in federal court to three counts of distributing drugs with rape as the aim. He or his friend Brandon Licciardi, a former sheriff ’s deputy in neighboring St. Bernard Parish, put anti-anxiety drugs or sedatives into women’s

Kansas City Royals pitcher Dillon Gee throws against the Minnesota Twins on Thursday at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. John Sleezer/Kansas City Star/TNS third career grand slam punctuating the inning.

Duffey was replaced by Michael Tonkin after 3 2-3 innings, allowing five runs.

“I think I tried to adjust by being better, and ultimately being worse,” Duffey said. “Just kind of missing arm side with a fastball, then I end up yanking a curveball and then the one that Gordon hit out wasn’t necessarily a good pitch to hit. It just went right into his

swing path. And then, giving up a grand slam, that’s what happens when you walk a guy and hit a guy. That’s a really good lineup. I gave them some chances and they took full advantage of it.”

The Royals added three runs in the eighth with Kendrys Morales and Eric Hosmer both driving in a run. The other run scored on a throwing error by center fielder Eddie Rosario.

Cuthbert had three of the Royals’ seven hits, bringing his hit total to 100, which ranks second among AL rookies.

UP NEXT Twins: RHP Jose Berrios yielded six runs, eight hits and a walk in two innings in his previous start, a 15-7 loss to Houston.

Royals: RHP Edinson Volquez is 2-0 with a 2.95 ERA in three 2016 starts against the Twins.

drinks so they could rape them, according to a 15page statement signed as part of that plea.

Milazzo has scheduled sentencing Oct. 13 for Licciardi and a second New Orleans codefendant, Erik Nunez.

Charges around the country involve nine victims, but Milazzo has said in court that there may be as many as 16.

Like Sharper, Licciardi and Nunez admitted distributing drugs with the intent to commit rape.

Their plea agreements say Licciardi has accepted a 17-year sentence, with 10 years for Nunez.

Sharper was named All-Pro six times and chosen for the Pro Bowl five times during a career that included stints with the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings.

He played in two Super Bowls, one with the Packers as a rookie and one with New Orleans Saints when they won in 2010.

He ended a 14-year career in 2011. He was working as an NFL network analyst when women began telling police in several cities similar stories of blacking out while drinking with him and waking up groggy to find they had been sexually abused.

Seeking relief for your irritable bowels Dear Dr. Roach: I am 92 and in exceptional health. I have irritable bowel syndrome, and my digestive system goes through a cycle of constipation and loose bowels. I also have episodes of incontinence with clear liquid. — R.B. Answer: While fecal incontinence is common, many people won’t talk about it with their doctors.

Some people with IBS have only constipation; others have only loose stools or diarrhea. Some people, like you, have mixed symptoms. To be sure of the diagnosis, oth-

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health er conditions — some potentially serious — need to be excluded. This is especially true for celiac disease, but also other causes of malabsorption and microscopic colitis.

Initial management of irritable bowel includes dietary changes ranging from avoidance of problem foods (e.g., beans, onions, raisins and other gas-producing foods) to a low-FODMAP diet, which

is much more restrictive and should be recommended in consultation with a registered dietitian nutritionist. Because incontinence is much more likely with liquid stool, managing the diarrheal aspect of your IBS is critical. This usually means increasing fiber. Fiber for constipation is effective because it carries more water in the stool, but it is effective in diarrhea for many people as well, since it absorbs excess water.

Dear Dr. Roach: I have a crack in my thumbnail.

The crack opens up as the nail grows, and I have to trim it back. It is painful

if it gets caught on anything. Is there anything I can do to heal the nail and allow it to grow back normally? — E.G. Answer: It depends on how the nail is cracked.

Sometimes just a drop of cyanoacrylate (the ingredient in most superglue) will seal up the crack until the nail grows back. I also have seen methods using nail polish and carefully trimmed material from a tea bag.

You can try a visit to your local nail salon.

They likely have seen this problem and can use one of these methods (or another) for you.

When you can’t protect the ones you love Dear Carolyn: My younger brother, 29, was diagnosed with cancer. He’s the healthy, extremely fit one of the family, so it is extremely unexpected.

As the oldest, I have always looked out for my younger brothers, and now I just feel helpless. And I don’t know how to process this. He lives about 2,000 miles away and hasn’t decided whether he’s going to do his treatment in our home town (an area with abundant medical resources) or where he lives now. Any advice? — The Oldest The Oldest: I’m sorry about the tough news.

I’m also sorry to have to spell out what I’m sure on some level you

Tell Me About It Carolyn Hax already know: that your brother and the cancer are calling the shots, not his well-meaning oldest sib.

It goes further than that, though — you’ve been “helpless” for years now. Arguably you’ve been so since your brothers became adults, and it’s never a bad idea to rethink childhood roles when you all aren’t kids anymore. More important, though, you’ve been helpless in profound ways all along, from the very beginning

of your looking-out-forthem tenure, because there comes a point in all things and with all people where we’re not in control. You can shout to warn someone who’s blindly running into the street, literally and figuratively speaking, but you simply can’t always be there.

The fact that you cite your brother’s place as the “healthy, extremely fit one” in the family as incongruous to cancer suggests your sense of control and roles and certainty (oldest protects youngest, fittest doesn’t get sick) is at the foundation of your sense of well-being.

If so, your brother’s diagnosis is a bulletin: That foundation is basically sand. You can’t con-

trol outcomes, any more than your brother could exercise his way out of developing cancer.

People control their actions, not their results. And that defines the limits of certainty, too, for anyone: We can be certain of what we put in — to a relationship, project, job, trip, experience — but not of what we ultimately get out.

In that context, your helpless feeling makes perfect sense, because reality finally took a turn that collided with your illusion of control. (It’s surprising it took this long.) But the deceptively simple solution can make sense, too: Choose to build on things you actually can count on and control.

er) Dayton Moore was there. Long-time scout Art Stewart was there, I got to talk to him a lot.

(Storm Chasers’ President and General Manager) Martie Cordaro is a great guy. I just built a ton of great relationships.”

Of course with a role within the front office, Latta had to try to contain the fan within him as he would come across top Kansas City prospects Raul Mondesi, Hunter Dozier and Jorge Bonifacio as they all spent a majority of their seasons in Omaha. But the hardest time he had being professional was AutoPageNo when Alex Gordon was

sent to Omaha for a rehab assignment earlier this season.

“Since 2007 when he broke into the big leagues, I’ve looked up to Alex Gordon,” Latta said. “Having close contact with Alex Gordon, it was hard to shelter my fandom around him.”

Latta said his passion for sports was fostered by his parents, who are sports fanatics.

“I played baseball at Allen (Community College) a couple of years, I wasn’t great. I was a pitcher, but I knew my career in sports wasn’t going to be from playing,” Latta said. “I thank my mom and dad, Patty and Randy, for giving

not only myself the opportunity to pursue my dreams and goals, but also my brothers, Ryan and Trent... I’m thankful for my parents for instilling that love of sport.”

Latta finished up his memorable summer with another opportunity that he has dreamed of for his entire life. On Monday, he will begin a new job as New Business and Development Sales Consultant with the University of Kansas.

“When I was 6 years old I thought, how cool would it be to have an office on Naismith Drive and now that is actually happening,” Latta said. “It is a dream come Jarred Latta spent the summer working with the Omaha Storm Chasers and will now join the University of Kansas Athletic Department. SUBMITTED PHOTO PUBNAME AutoTextDate true.”

QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions... and maybe a few actual answers

How about the rooster tails?

On many weekends, even on a stand-alone weekend without Cup racing, the Xfinity Series can escape notice. But this past Saturday’s event at Mid-Ohio got some extra attention, and for an unusual reason: rain. When NASCAR’s Cup or Xfinity cars line up for a roadcourse race, the pit stalls include sets of rain tires, just in case. But almost always, the tires are unnecessary. Not this time.

3 THINGS WE LEARNED FROM THE OFF WEEK

Like it?

1. Burnout scrutiny When Denny Hamlin won at Watkins Glen, his burnout in the No. 11 Toyota was so intense, it popped both rear tires and caused sheet-metal damage to the car. Did Hamlin do it to hide something from NASCAR? One NASCAR official said, “It’s a trend we don’t like to see.”

It was definitely different and therefore kinda fun to watch Justin Marks navigate the rain-soaked course and get his first win. And I suppose it’s good that fans who travel to watch a race don’t get rained out. But who enjoys sitting in the rain and watching a sporting event of any kind? Oh, wait, the TV audience far outnumbers the ticket buyers, and for TV purposes a rainy race is much better than no race.

2. Gordon wins!

Never on an oval?

Jeff Gordon, who is subbing for ailing Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the No. 88 Chevy, won a race last week. OK, so it was a go-kart race for charity in Iowa, but he beat Tony Stewart, Kasey Kahne and Kyle Larson for the trophy. The old man still has the winning touch.

Nearly all of the smart people say no, heavy stock cars on a wet oval, even with rain tires, wouldn’t be worth the price of a dime-store umbrella, much less the price of a ticket. Though maybe once, just once, it’d be fun to watch a few laps just to confirm that philosophy.

3. Only one NASCAR rookie Ryan Blaney was the only Sprint Cup Series regular to compete in the Xfinity Series race at

If those four openings go to drivers with points, it would be Ryan Newman, Chase Elliott, Austin Dillon and Jamie McMurray. They are tightly clustered in points. Everybody else must win a race.

1. Eyes on Busch

3. 22 and counting

Kurt Busch set a Sprint Cup record for completing all laps in the first 21 races of the season and extended it to 22 by rolling through all 90 laps at Watkins Glen. The all-time record is held by Carl Edwards, who completed all laps in 28 straight races over the 2015-16 seasons. Busch is up to 25 in that category. For the record, 5,901 laps have been run to date this Cup season.

A total of 22 Cup Series teams have unveiled throwback paint schemes for the Sept. 4 Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway, and several more teams are expected to participate in the celebration of NASCAR history. The most intriguing design to date is the No. 13 Chevy of Casey Mears, who will run a stock car carrying the black and gold colors made famous by master mechanic Smokey Yunick.

2. Chase this There are four regular- season races
