Eclipse sets stage for sunset

By MIKE MYER

Sunsets are always pretty, but the sunset Thursday evening could be spectacular.

The setting sun could be red, as usual, but we could also see a chunk of it missing.

There is going to be a partial solar eclipse Thursday evening. While the northwestern United States will be the favored place to observe this eclipse, sky watchers in southeast Kansas will also have the chance to see this partial solar eclipse.

It is never safe to look at the any phase of a solar eclipse

without eye protection and this one will be difficult to observe, but if the sky has some haze and thin clouds you should be able to photograph the partially eclipsed sun setting in the west.

Solar eclipses take place when the moon passes in front of the sun, but for a total eclipse to be seen the sun, the moon and the Earth need to be in perfect alignment.

By Thursday afternoon, the alignment will be off just enough that no one on Earth will see a total eclipse. At maximum eclipse, sky watchers in southeast Kansas will see approximately 44 percent

of the sun eclipsed by the moon.

The partial solar eclipse will begin around 4:40 p.m.

Thursday, and we will see our maximum phase of this eclipse just before sunset.

The eclipse will be just past maximum when the sun sets at 6:31.

Plan ahead and see if you can find some interesting objects on the distant horizon and include them in your photos.

Ebola fears, monitoring eases for some DALLAS (AP) — Ebola fears began to ease for some today as a monitoring period passed for those who had close contact with a victim of the disease and after a cruise ship scare ended with the boat returning to port and a lab worker on board testing negative for the virus.

Federal officials meanwhile ramped up readiness to deal with future cases. A top government official said revised guidance instructs health workers treating Ebola patients to wear protective gear “with no skin showing.”

The Pentagon said it is forming a team to support civilian

medical staff in the U.S. In Dallas, Louise Troh and several friends and family members will finally be free today to leave a stranger’s home where they have been confined under armed guard for 21 days — the maximum incubation period for Ebola.

They had close contact with Thomas Eric Duncan, a Liberian man who died of the disease at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital on Oct. 8.

“I want to breathe, I want to really grieve, I want privacy with my family,” Troh told The Associated Press.

The incubation period also has passed for about a dozen

RiverTree Church has annual fall festival

By KAYLA BANZET The Iola Register

Back by popular demand, the RiverTree Christian Church had its fall festival on Sunday.

Pastor Matt Bycroft said it is the third year for the church to put on the festival.

“The first year was when the recession had just hit,”

“The hardest years in life are those between 10 and 70.”

Bycroft said. “We asked ourselves what can we do to help the community out.”

Since the church has quite a bit of open land members decided to put together a carnival-like event. It was a huge success with community members.

KU addition inspires architects in training LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — An auditorium that was created by architects-in-training at the University of Kansas has opened on the Lawrence campus.

The first lecture was conducted Friday at the Forum at Marvin Hall, which houses the School of Architecture, Design and Planning. The hall previously didn’t have an auditorium, leading to lecture classes taking place across the campus, the Lawrence JournalWorld reports.

“We’ve had lectures in other, dungeon-like spaces,” said Stephen McEnery, an architecture student. “It’s exciting to be in a lecture somewhere that reminds me why I’m studying architecture.”

The privately-funded addition was a project of Studio 804, a not-forprofit corporation and a design/build class. Students in the 2013-2014 class did the bulk of the work, with help from this year’s class on finishing touches.

School spokesman Charles Linn said licensed contractors stepped in for tasks as required, but students built the building themselves.

The auditorium features exterior walls that

are made of glass, with a naturally ventilated facade using cedar louvers.

The addition’s new roof is supported by timberframe trusses, as is used in the original building.

At the back of the room is a green wall of live plants.

“This building was by far the most complex that we have ever done,” architecture professor Dan Rockhill, who has led Studio 804 for 20 years, said in a news release.

“And the effort the students put into the project was awe-inspiring.”

Architecture student Claire Ryan also was seated in the Forum for Friday’s lecture. She said having an auditorium in Marvin Hall would help strengthen the sense of community in the school.

“I love the space,” she said. “It’s absolutely beautiful.”

last week, vice president of instruction Pedro Leite said the technical school was looking for seed money, The Salina Journal reports.

“If I find $30,000, the program is off and running tomorrow morning,” Leite said.

Many of the 30 people who attended the meeting were needy employers who were invited by the Salina Area Chamber of Commerce and were willing to help.

Fort Scott Community College in southeast Kansas offers the only truck driving school in Kansas that’s affiliated with the Board of Regents.

Salina Tech will be the second, and much of the necessary equipment has been donated by local industry players.

Brett Weis, president of Great Plains Trucking, said the driver shortage is “most definitely industrywide.”

Great Plains drivers will make from $50,000 to $75,000 a year with health insurance and retirement benefits, and vacation.

The next steps include forming an advisory board to review curriculum and learning outcomes, entrance requirements and map out a review plan.

Leite included a budget with $116,400 in essential costs. The first class would need a minimum of 10 students, and not more than 20, who would go through five weeks of “super intensive” training, Leite said, including hazardous materials training.

Paperless billing?

Spare us the pain

By JOHN MCCARRON Chicago Tribune (MCT)

Automatic bill payment.

Paperless billing. Easy and secure online transaction.

They make it sound so easy — until it gets so hard.

Not that I’m bitter about spending last Saturday — a sun-kissed day on the eve of you-know-what’s-coming — trying to change the Visa number our family has on file with various vendors.

I’m guessing millions of Americans already have done this ... or soon will.

You sign up online for “auto-pay” and the next thing you know, someone has stolen your credit-card number, so you have to alert all your auto-payees that you have a new number and the old number doesn’t work anymore.

Trouble is, no two vendors have the same system for changing those numbers. Their websites, in fact, are laid out willy-nilly as though nobody ever has to change his or her billing info. Click on anything labeled “credit card,” for instance, and many companies will try to sell you a new credit card.

Misery loves company, and apparently I’ve got lots.

According to something called the Identity Theft Resource Center, there have been 606 “data breaches” just this year across the U.S. commercial landscape, many involving credit-card numbers.

JPMorgan recently did an “oops” involving the personal information of 76 million client households.

Other major hacks have been reported by retailers Neiman Marcus, Michaels, Supervalu and, just in time for last Christmas, Target.

My most recent online damage control — yeah, I’m a repeat victim — began Oct. 1 with a cheery email from Chase Fraud Alert carrying the subject line: “Your new card is on the way.” It went on to explain that “a security breach at The Home Depot” had placed our Visa Mileage Plus card “at risk.”

So I waited for the new plastic, dreading the chore ahead — especially because a month ago I had one of those “fat thumb” accidents that wiped out the saved passwords in my Internet browser.

(Memo to self: Write down all user names and passwords on a piece of old-fashioned paper and keep that paper somewhere

Dear editor,

As the upcoming election approaches, many of us have weighed pros and cons for new schools in Iola. The end result needs to be about the children and what is best for their future. As a community we need to think about the vision that we have for our youth. Our previous school boards and our current school board have put a lot of time and thought into what is best for our children and the patrons of Iola.

The reason that it is the time to do it is because of the 51 percent aid we will receive from the state. To move forward in education and to give our children what they deserve, it is in a new school. New technology, adequate space for learning, cleaner environments, and equality for all children.

In attending a forum at one of our local elementary schools, a tour of the school was given for all those interested.

A former boys locker room

where you’ll remember where you put it.)

Ten days passed with no new credit card, just another email from Chase saying a suspicious charge of $0.01 had been posted to our card earlier that Friday at some place called “Silhouette Hair.”

Call me old-fashioned, but I still write checks and use U.S. mail ... exactly for this reason!

I’ve been using the same barber for 30 years, but even I know you can’t buy much at a beauty salon for 1 cent. So I checked “no” in the box that asked if this was a legit charge and promptly called the Chase security hotline.

I was told our number was being shut down.

The representative then checked to see if our new card had been lost in the mail. Turned out it was never sent. Oops. So he promised to overnight it via FedEx and told me that Visa would allow one final charge on the old card so I could reclaim my 2005 Honda minivan from Meineke, where it was getting new shocks and struts.

Naturally, Visa rejected that Meineke charge. So I sheepishly paid with my Citibank debit card, drove home and waited for FedEx to deliver the new Visa on Saturday morning. That’s when the real fun began.

On half our vendor accounts I gave up trying to do it online and fought through their automated phone systems to reach human beings. The never-used OnStar emergency service in my adult daughter’s car?

I’m letting that one slide for now — at least until my wife finds out.

So what’s the moral?

For starters, vendors will keep urging us to “go paperless” so they can save on postage and pay themselves sooner rather than later.

Consumers save on postage, too, while we rack up our precious airline miles and rewards. Sounds great. But until some young genius comes up with an app for easily switching card numbers, or for protecting those numbers in the first place, I’d go easy on auto-pay.

Sure it’s a pain writing checks and licking envelopes, but how many sunny Saturdays do you want to spend swearing at your computer?

is now a computer lab. Because of the structure of the building, walls could not be tore down to make the space more efficient for learning and teaching.

A former girls locker room where hula hoops and scooters were once stored years ago, is now a special education room.

There may be eight children at a time in this small room with a few adults as well. These rooms were not designed to teach in, but rather a locker room for the gymnasium.

Testing done for those children needing assistance with their education is in a small room that used to be a janitorial closet where cleaning supplies, mops, and trash cans once were.

Water leaks have been a huge issue at all of the elmentaries as well as water in the basements. In going into the two other elementaries, more space issues and other problems were noticed as well.

Somehow the Senate has to stay under Democrat control.

Dear editor,

This school bond issue is more about student achievement than it is about buildings. The bottom line is that we are spending too much money on repairing old buildings and that is taking away from vital resources that could and should be going into classrooms to benefit our kids.

The safety and security of our students is paramount.

This bond issue would fix these issues in a more cost-efficient manner than renovating: • Entrance Security • Traffic Control • Air Quality • High-Wind Shelters It would also create appropriate spaces for our children with special needs and not put them in places that were designed as janitor closets and locker rooms. It would make every classroom accessible by every student, parent and grandparent.

floors, more water issues to name a few. Why have these maintenance issues not been addressed? Well they have and they are. Our educators and district staff care very much for our children. But our current 5 schools are draining our budgets. Draining it so that it is taking away from being able to give our children more advancements in their education. This is where the 51 percent aid from the state will help us get there. We will be able to keep our heads above water and no longer sink.

Our current elementaries were built in 1938 and our high school in 1916. At that time in history, special education was nonexistent. Our current schools were built at a time when those with exceptionalities were institutionalized. Those with mental and physical disabilities have a lot to offer to their peers as well as their peers do those with exceptionalities. In 1973 Section 504 of the Rehabilitation

the state and is mishandled.

Imagine what our Legislature could do with $7 billion.

The argument is that the state could handle the fund more “efficiently.” Imagine how much that efficiency might take from the fund to be used in some other fund.

It happens almost every session with the federal highway fund and still the governor has put us on the highway to bankruptcy.

As seniors, my wife and I

are very happy with the way Medicare is handled. We want no changes in management.

I’ve not talked to another senior that isn’t thankful for Medicare as it is now managed. We can depend on it.

The state could change the rules and we won’t be able to depend on it.

The people on Medicaid found that out.

Ray Shannon Iola, Kan.

One elementary would centrally locate all our resources to help students that struggle with reading and math. It would also ensure that class sizes, technology and other resources are equitable throughout our district. Modern school design through the use of the “school within a school” concept allows for personalized experiences and environments for students as they learn in a “community” of 100-200 students.

The number one factor that increases student achievement is a quality teacher in the classroom, not school size or if they walk to school. With half our teachers being able to retire in the next 10 years how do we compete with other school districts in our county and area when we don’t pay them very well, we don’t provide adequate instructional technology and ask them to teach in a very old building.

Those conditions are due to the fact that the school district has been overwhelmed with maintenance, repair and utility costs. The sad truth is ... they need to spend more. It is like trying to stop an avalanche with a snow fence. But where does the money come from on an annual basis to maintain these old buildings? Less money for teachers? Spend less on curriculum resources? Spend less on technology? Spend less on professional development for staff ? Reduce extracurricular offerings? Reduce career and technical education courses? Reduce fine arts courses? Reduce teachers and staff ?

None of those options are what I want for our kids ... all because we are spending our money on the past and not the future. It is time to switch that. Vote YES! TWICE! Mark Kauth Iola, Kan.

Act was put into law to protect students from discrimination based on their disability status. The Individuals with Disabilites Act (IDEA) was established by the government to make sure that children with disabilities are given instruction that meets their unique needs. If our current schools were built at a time when those with disabilities were not even thought of, how can we be doing these children justice? Our district and ANW Coop have done their best at making things work for those with exceptionalities. Rooms are switched from upstairs to downstairs every year to accommodate those who are not physically able to walk stairs. Closets are being turned into rooms for those who receive speech services.

Children with physical disabilities do not have appropriate playground equipment to play along with their peers.

Because of the age of our schools, all but one are out

of ADA (Americans with Disability Act) compliance. This means they are not accessible for those with physical disabilities and challenges. The only one that is compliant is the Iola USD 257 Preschool at Windsor Place nursing home.

We have numerous children in our district with physical challenges and disabilities. A new school would ensure that all children receive what they deserve.

We have an opportunity to make it better for our children. We the citizens, parents, grandparents, and neighbors need to focus on the children and their future. Betterment for all children for their education. On November 4th, vote YES for the school bond issue to receive 51 percent aid from the state. Vote YES for the 1/2 cent sales tax increase. They are worth it.

Sincerely, Lesley Skahan, Mother and Advocate, Iola, Kan.

Top Republicans make gay marriage an issue TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Republican Sen. Pat Roberts and Gov. Sam Brownback are raising gay marriage as an issue to help paint their challengers as too liberal for GOP-leaning Kansas in the final weeks of tough re-election races.

Both publicly declared their continued support for the state constitution’s ban on gay marriage after U.S. Supreme Court decisions earlier this month suggested it isn’t likely to withstand a legal challenge.

Roberts’ campaign sent a mailing last week to 300,000 voters, criticizing independent candidate Greg Orman, who has said government should not stand in the way of same-sex couples getting married. Orman has been endorsed by the gay-rights group Equality Kansas.

Brownback raised the issue without prompting last week during an interview with The Associated Press about his race with Democratic challenger Paul Davis and was a speaker at a Saturday rally for “traditional” marriage. Davis voted as a legislator against proposals to add the gay-marriage ban to the state constitution

and has a qualified endorsement from Equality Kansas.

Raising the issue represents an effort by both GOP incumbents to turn out as many conservative voters as possible in close contests, said Bob Beatty, a political science professor at Washburn University in Topeka.

“They’re not out there trying to change anybody’s minds,” Beatty said. “That’s one of those issues that can get their supporters invigorated.”

Voters added the gaymarriage ban to the Kansas Constitution in 2005, with nearly 70 percent of them approving the measure in a statewide election. But federal courts have invalidated similar bans elsewhere, and the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear appeals from five states, including Oklahoma and Utah, which are in the same federal appeals-court circuit as Kansas. A federal district court and the state Supreme Court are considering legal challenges to the Kansas ban.

Orman, an Olathe businessman and cofounder of a private equity firm, and Davis, the

Kansas House minority leader, are running as centrists and appealing to GOP moderates and unaffiliated voters.

In turn, Roberts and Brownback have portrayed their challengers as liberals.

The Roberts mailing continues his campaign’s efforts to tie Orman to Democratic President Barack Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, both of whom support same-sex marriage.

The mailing said Orman opposes “traditional family values” and will “fight to make gay marriage legal — wiping away the sanctity of marriage.”

“That’s further proof that Greg Orman is a liberal Democrat,” said Roberts campaign manager Corry Bliss.

Orman’s campaign sees the mailing as misleading because, while the challenger doesn’t think government should block gay marriage, he expects it ultimately to become legal across the nation through a U.S. Supreme Court decision. He also has said he understands that some churches still would not recognize or perform same-sex mar-

riages.

“This is just another sad, desperate attempt to mislead Kansans about Greg Orman to try to save Sen. Roberts’ job in Washington,” Orman campaign manager Jim Jonas said in a statement.

Similarly, in the governor’s race, Davis said both supporters and opponents of the gay-marriage ban must wait for the courts to rule on its validity. Davis said he opposed adding the ban to the constitution because he was concerned it would damage the state’s “welcoming image” but he also respects the 2005 vote.

“There’s frankly nothing that the governor can do at this point in time,” Davis said. “This issue’s out of the hands of politicians now. It’s going to be decided in the courts.”

Ebola: Anxiety lessens for some Continued from A1

Emory University in Atlanta. Vinson “has not and would not knowingly expose herself or anyone else,” the statement says.

Dallas County and federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials cleared her to fly last week to Dallas from Ohio, and “suggestions that she ignored any of the physician and gover nment-provided protocols recommended to her are patently untrue and hurtful,” the family says.

On Sunday, a Carnival Cruise Lines ship returned to Galveston, Texas, from a seven-day trip marred by worries over a health worker on board who was being monitored for Ebola.

The lab supervisor had handled a specimen from Duncan and isolated herself on the ship as a precaution.

About 4,000 passengers on the cruise had to miss a stop in Cozumel, Mexico, where the boat was not allowed to dock because of the scare. Carnival said it was informed by U.S. health authorities Sunday morning that the worker tested negative for Ebola.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said those caring for Duncan were vulnerable because some of their skin was exposed.

The CDC is working on revisions to safety protocols. Earlier ones, Fauci said, were based on a World Health Organization model for care in remote places, often outdoors, and without intensive training for health workers.

“So there were parts about that protocol that left vulnerability, parts of the skin that were open,” Fauci said.

Health officials had previously allowed hospitals some flexibility to

use available covering when dealing with suspected Ebola patients.

The new guidelines are expected to set firmer standards: calling for full-body suits and hoods that protect worker’s necks; setting rigorous rules for removal of equipment and disinfection of hands; and requiring a “site manager” to supervise the putting on and taking off of equipment.

The guidelines also are expected to require a “buddy system” in which workers check each other as they come in and go out, according to an official who was familiar with the guidelines but not authorized to discuss them before their release.

Hospital workers also will be expected to exhaustively practice getting in and out of the equipment, the official said.

Nurses have been clamoring for more guidance and better garb, saying they have never cared for Ebola patients before and feel unprepared and underequipped.

“If hospital administrators had to take care of Ebola patients, they would have the gold standard and hazmat suits,” said RoseAnn DeMoro, executive director of National Nurses United, a union with 185,000 members.

In some places where they have the suits, nurses have not practiced taking them on and off.

“The hospital is sending them essentially a link to the CDC website.

That’s not preparation.

That’s like a do-it-yourself manual,” DeMoro said.

On Sunday the Pentagon announced that Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel had ordered the formation of a 30-person military support team to assist civilian medical professionals in the U.S. to treat Ebola.

The team will be formed by Northern Command’s Commander, Gen. Chuck Jacoby, and will comprise 20 critical care nurses, five doctors trained in infectious disease and five trainers in infectious disease protocols. Once formed, the team will undergo up to a week of specialized training in infection control and personal

protective equipment at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas, then remain in “prepare to deploy” status for 30 days.

The team won’t be sent overseas, and will “be called upon domestically only if deemed prudent by our public health professionals,” Pentagon press secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby said in a statement.

Equality Kansas supports Davis based on his legislative voting records on gay-rights issues but said its endorsement is qualified because later actions and statements “call into question the strength of his commitment.”

Brownback touched on gay marriage during his AP interview in suggesting that Davis, after months of attacking Brownback’s policies, still is struggling to define himself for voters and “tell the public where you stand.”

“You can take the same-sex marriage case here in the state. He won’t even stand up and say where he is on that piece,” Brownback said.

“I mean, that’s a pretty basic thing. As governor, you need to decide, are you going to defend the state in the litigation or not?”

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (AP) — Sprint Corp. has cut 452 jobs from its Overland Park headquarters as part of a previously announced cost-cutting effort, the nation’s third-biggest cell phone carrier disclosed in a filing with the Kansas Department of Commerce.

The report, which was filed Friday, covers the first installment of layoffs planned throughout October.

It doesn’t cover any job losses outside the headquarters campus, although they are believed to be happening too.

The company said earlier this month in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that it was cutting an unspecified number of jobs to better compete with AT&T and Verizon.

Sprint said it would book a $160 million charge in its fiscal second quarter to cover the layoffs, which include managers as well as other employees. It may take more charges for future job cuts.

Lady Cubs take third place at Neodesha tourney

By SPENCER MICHELSON The Iola Register

NEODESHA — A strong showing put Humboldt High’s volleyball team in third place Saturday at the Neodesha Invitational. The team finished 4-2 in the tournament.

“This tournament is a long day of volleyball,” coach Stephanie Splechter said.

“The girls played really well at times, but ran out of gas late in the day.”

Starting off the day, the Lady Cubs nabbed a 25-23 and 25-21 win over Fredonia. Breanna Kline led the team with nine kills and had two assists.

Annalise Whitcomb dished up 15 assists, had three kills and an ace. Sydney Houk had five kills and Delaney Umholtz had three kills. Megan Hudlin and Brook Turner each had two aces.

Humboldt got its second win against Southeast Cherokee, 25-16 and 25-21. Kline led the way with 13 kills and had an ace. Whitcomb picked up 19 more assists and had two aces.

Umholtz had four kills and an ace. Tiler Wells had two kills, an ace and an assist. Houk had three kills, while Turner had an ace and an assist.

“It was good to get this win after losing to them last year in the championship,” Splechter said.

The Lady Cubs eked out a three-set victory over Parsons.

Humboldt lost the second set, 31-29, but won the first set, 2512, and tiebreaker, 25-20. Whitcomb put up 31 assists, while having two aces and a kill.

Kline racked up 19 kills. Houk had six kills and two assists.

Turner had an ace, five kills and two assists. Wells had two aces and four kills. Umholtz had two kills.

“This match was very intense,” Splechter said. “Neither team would let the ball hit the floor.”

Humboldt earned an easy 25-6 and 25-21 win over Caney.

Turner had three aces, three kills and an assist. Whitcomb had two aces and 10 assists.

Iola volleyball hindered Team can’t make it past pool play at Anderson County Invitational

GARNETT — Finishing 2-2 on the day, Iola High’s volleyball team couldn’t get out of pool play at the Anderson County Invitational Saturday afternoon.

“We started off the day extremely slowly,” coach Emily Sigg said. “This was very disappointing because it wasn’t an early morning match and we had plenty of time to wake up to be prepared.”

The Fillies started the day out with a two-set loss to host Anderson County, 25-14 and 25-19. Emery Driskel led the team with six kills. Emma Piazza had seven assists and a kill. Kyra Moore had five kills

and four aces. Addie Haar had the only ace for Iola and four kills. Ashlie Shields had two kills. Mikaela Platt and Sydney Wade each had a kill. Toni Macha had the Fillies only dig.

Iola came back with a 25-17 and 25-18 victory over Prairie View. Shields led with three of the Fillies’ eight aces and a kill. Piazza had four kills, two aces and eight assists. Moore had an ace, two kills and three assists. Platt had three kills and Haar had a kill.

“By our third match, we woke up and played very well against Wellsville,” Sigg said.

The Eagles came out on top in a three-set match. Driskel had 11 kills to lead the Fillies, along with an ace. Piazza had 12 assists, two kills and an ace.

Haar had eight kills. Moore had three kills and nine assists. Wade had a kill and assist, while Shields had a kill.

The Fillies ended the day with a 25-18 and 25-14 win against Labette County. The win put Iola in fifth place for the tournament.

“There was a lot of good competition there, I just wish we would’ve played to our potential,” Sigg said. “We could’ve continued into bracket play.”

The Fillies travel to Anderson County again Tuesday for its final regular season match.

Iola hosts a Class 4A-II Substate tournament Saturday.

“I’m glad we have two more league matches on Tuesday, before we prepare for substate,” Sigg said.

Chiefs escape San Diego with final minute field goal

By BERNIE WILSON AP Sports Writer

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Alex Smith knows Qualcomm Stadium well, from teaming with Reggie Bush to lead Helix High to consecutive San Diego Section championships to throwing five touchdown passes against San Diego State for Utah in its BCS-busting season of 2004.

Smith earned his first NFL victory at the aging concrete bowl in Mission Valley on Sunday, leading the Kansas City Chiefs to a 23-20 victory against San Diego that snapped the Chargers’ fivegame winning streak.

“There might be something to it. I’m definitely comfortable here,” Smith said. “I’ve played a lot here — high school, college and as a professional. I think it had more to do with executing out there for sure.”

That, he did. Smith completed three straight passes for 43 yards on the drive capped by rookie Cairo Santos’s winning 48-yard field goal with 21 seconds left.

Just like that, the Chiefs

made the AFC West a threeteam race.

Coming off their bye, the Chiefs (3-3) pulled within 1½ games of San Diego (5-2). The Denver Broncos (4-1) knocked off San Francisco Sunday night. Had the Chiefs lost, they would have dropped three games behind San Diego.

“I think this team is in a good place mentally,” Smith said. “We took this challenge on, and we had two weeks to get ready with the bye week.

We took it on as a challenge with no one giving us a chance.

We felt like coming into this game, we were a couple plays away from being 4-1. This was an opportunity for us to kind of show what we’re made of, show the country. I feel like we’re in a good place and we’ll keep going.”

Coach Andy Reid, in his second season with the Chiefs, improved his career record in games following a bye week to 14-2 (.875), the most victories of any NFL head coach in games following a bye week.

“I don’t think there’s a secret to it,” said Reid, who compiled most of that post-bye See CHIEFS | Page B4

Kansas faces shortage of science, math teachers TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The challenge of recruiting math and science teachers is expected to increases in Kansas as more of them approach retirement and demand for the courses they teach rises.

Job growth is strong in the so-called STEM fields of science, technology, engineering and math, leading to interest among students in the subjects, The Topeka Capital-Journal reports.

The National Science Foundation said the number of high-school students taking Advanced Placement math and science classes has doubled in a decade to half a million.

Steve Case, director of the Center for STEM Learning at the University of Kansas, and colleague Steve Obenhaus, a master teacher at KU with 21 years of math instruction under his belt, analyzed six years of data on the state’s middle- and high-school math and science teachers. They found that nearly 20 percent will become eligible to retire in three more years.

“There’s a cliff out there,” Case said.

Kansas data indicates an average of 140 math and science teachers will become eligible to retire each year between now and 2030, he says, and because the numbers are expected to trend upward, Kansas will need to recruit more

than 200 people into the workforce some years.

Currently about 125 new math and science teachers join Kansas schools annually.

Changes passed by lawmakers this spring could help. Schools can now hire professionals who lack traditional teacher preparation to teach middle- and highschool science and math if they have at least five years of work experience using math and science.

The Kansas Association of School Boards supports that change, but warns schools will still need to lure those professionals from their private-sector careers.

“That is a possible tool” for addressing the shortage, KASB lobbyist Mark Tallman said, but added, “I doubt that is going to result in a significant number of new teachers.”

Son skeptical of father’s weird remedy Dear Dr. Roach: In one of Dr. Donohue’s columns years ago, he wrote about pain in the rectum that he said was caused by “trapped gas” (as well as I can recall), and he recommended sitting on a baseball (or some kind of ball) for a bit and that would relieve it. It worked! I have been using that method for years now, and wish I had thanked him for that advice! I actually keep a baseball handy just in case I need it!

Now my 39-year-old son has complained of rectal pain, and though I am aware that there can be many causes, I would like for him to try this “magic treatment” before he gets any more worried.

He is going to try to see a doctor, and I can just imagine that this simple solution will not even be

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health known and that the doctor immediately will recommend a battery of tests.

Maybe they will be necessary; I don’t know, but I would like him to try this first. My son appears not to take my suggestion seriously, so I was wondering if you’ve ever heard of this or if there is any way to find Dr. D’s column in which he addresses this issue. — R.A. Answer: Sadly, I must lack some of Dr. Donohue’s wisdom, experience or expertise, since I don’t know what he was getting at there. I am pretty good about finding old columns, but I couldn’t find

the one you are referring to. If any of Dr. Donohue’s faithful readers has the column or remembers it, write me and I will write a follow-up.

If your son came to me with his complaint, I would start by taking a complete history and performing an exam and perhaps an anoscopy, done in the office — not a whole battery of tests.

Dear Dr. Roach: When I bought fresh plums yesterday, I was reminded of your column about “white stuff” on fresh fruit, the white stuff being mold.

Very fresh blueberries, grapes, plums and certain other fresh fruit have what is called a “bloom” when picked. The bloom goes away the older the fruit is.

Bloom is pretty uniform; mold is not. Bloom on fresh fruit is a very good

sign. Other than your lack of farming skills, I really like your column. — C.K. Answer: I didn’t know that the waxy material on some fresh fruits is called “bloom,” but I have seen that phenomenon at local farmer’s markets. However, I do know from living in major cities that moldy blueberries are a fact of urban life. Fresh fruit might not get to the grocer for days or weeks, and can then sit there for who knows how long until they become, frankly, moldy.

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Cairo Santos (5) kicks a 48yard field goal against the San Diego Chargers to win the game with 21 seconds left on Sunday. MCT/KANSAS CITY STAR/DAVID EULITT

Chiefs: Get big win Continued from B1 magic while coaching Philadelphia.

“When we have good players and good coaches, good things happen. I’ve been lucky enough to be in those situations.”

The Chargers flunked their sternest test in a month and lost for the first time since a defeat at Arizona in the season opener.

Jamaal Charles scored once and gained 95 yards to give him 6,113 for his career, moving him to the top of Kansas City’s career list. He passed Priest Holmes, who had 6,070.

“That was my first time winning here,” Charles said. “That was big, it was a big win.

That’s a good team, they have a great defense, great quarterback on their side. That was an amazing game to pull off today. The team fought with will and we went out there to play a great game.”

Charles weaved in and out of traffic to score on a 16-yard run on the first play of the second quarter. Former teammate Brandon Flowers leveled him a yard into the end zone, too late to keep the Chiefs from tying it at 7.

Flowers later left the game with a concussion.

“Flowers put a big hit on me, but I’m thankful that I got up healthy,” Charles said.

The Chargers, facing an established quarterback for the first time in four games, allowed Smith to complete 19 of 28 passes for 221 yards.

Now they travel to face the Broncos.

“When you win five in a row, losing stinks,” San Diego’s Philip Rivers said. “We have to handle it right and get ready to go to Denver on Thursday night and not let this thing go to two in a row.”

Rivers was 17 of 31 for 205 yards and two touchdowns. After setting an NFL record with five straight games with a passer rating of 120 or better, he tumbled to 83.4.

Smith had given the Chiefs a 20-14 lead with an 11-yard touchdown pass to fullback Anthony Sherman with 14:50 left.

Sherman broke a tackle inside the 10 and scored to cap an 11-play, 70-yard drive. On the previous play, a holding call against Chargers cornerback Richard Marshall nullified a sack of Smith and gave the Chiefs a first down at the 11.

The Chargers got to the Kansas City 6 before Rivers threw two straight incompletions and San Diego had to settle for Nick Novak’s 24-yard field goal to close to 20-17.

Novak kicked a 48-yarder to tie the game with 1:57 left.

Novak has 31 straight field goal conversions, breaking John Carney’s team record of 29 set in 1992-93.

Antonio Gates caught a 27-yard touchdown pass from Rivers just before halftime. It was the 67th career TD pass from Rivers to Gates, the most in NFL history from a quarterback to a tight end.

Didn’t hear about that one? Well, life-long Royals fan Nicholas Knapple didn’t have the cash for playoff tickets, so he messaged a few players on Twitter with a plea. One of them was Brandon Finnegan.

The rookie pitcher promptly hooked him up.

Knapple found himself watching Game 3 of the AL Championship Series against the Baltimore Orioles with his girlfriend and Finnegan’s mom — and an entire section filled with friends and family of other Royals players.

“After the seventh inning, his mom told us we were going downstairs for the celebration,” Knapple said in a phone interview. “So after the game, we got to go down outside the clubhouse. We got to meet Danny Duffy, take pictures. It was unbelievable.”

About as unbelievable as the Royals’ postseason run.

The happy marriage between the Royals and their fans was a rocky relationship earlier this summer. Third baseman Mike Moustakas was getting booed off the field. Manager Ned Yost had gone back to using an alias when he ordered at Starbucks.

Even longtime designated hitter Billy Butler was starting to feel the wrath of a fan base that had been pining for success.

Humboldt: Place third

EVERY TUESDAY–

DINE IN ONLY

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The game had been over for hours.

Kauffman Stadium had gone dark. The roars of a sold-out crowd, which had rooted the Kansas City Royals to a sweep of the mighty Los Angeles Angels, had drifted away into the cool night air.

A few miles away, at a bar and grill called McFadden’s, the party was just beginning.

Greg Holland had showed up, the All-Star closer watching with a grin as highlights of the game played on television.

Salvador Perez and Jarrod Dyson, both integral parts in the Royals’ playoff push, posed with fans for more pictures than they could count. First baseman Eric Hosmer put down his credit card and for a full hour picked up the tab for hundreds of strangers.

“It’s fun to get to enjoy it with the whole entire city. It’s a special time,” Hosmer said a few days later. “I think the buildup to this, it’s been so long. They’ve been hungry for a winner. What we’re doing now has just been a blast.”

So much so that Hosmer didn’t mind his credit card taking a hit — he shared the $15,000 bar bill with some teammates — after beating

the Angels in their AL Divisional Series.

“We realize how bad the fans want it, how bad the city wants it,” Hosmer explained. “I think this team symbolizes the attitude of this city — tough, we’re not going to quit and we’re going to fight to the end.

It’s a pretty special bond we’ve created.”

It’s a pretty rare bond, too, in modern professional sports.

As the Royals prepare to play the San Francisco Giants in the World Series on Tuesday night, capping their first postseason appearance since winning the title in 1985, the relationship they have established with their long-suffering fans harkens back to a bygone era.

It’s reminiscent of a time when players lived in the same neighborhood as working-class fans, because they too were working class.

When they had to find offseason jobs just to make ends meet, long before million-dollar contracts. When you walked into the barbershop or the supermarket and would see Duke Snider or Red Schoendienst getting a trim or perusing the vegetables.

Only now, players and fans are connecting over drinks at a bar in the trendy Power and Light District of Kansas City. Or they’re connecting on Twitter in 140-word bursts.

In Our 46th Year!
