School upgrade gets review

By BOB JOHNSON The Iola Register

GAS — Gas council members took another step, albeit a small one, toward refitting the old Gas School as a community center Tuesday evening.

After reviewing an upgrade proposal they agreed to pay Shoeb Uddin of Sunflower Design, Topeka, $2,000 to develop more specific plans.

Uddin told council members a preliminary budget of $252,100 could change as more exacting plans were drawn, and when bids were opened.

They looked at financing through a Community Development Block Grant from the Kansas Department of Commerce, represented at the

meeting by Barbara Anderson. If that were to occur in full, Gas would be responsible for half, or $125,050, with part perhaps retired through in-kind labor.

The major improvement would be a new roof, estimated at $56,000 to $71,000, depending on material and whether decoration were a part; a wheelchair lift, $30,000; upgrades to a restroom so it complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act, $15,000; replacement of a sidewalk along the west side, $10,000, and roof draining and grading, $16,000.

Another $16,000 would be set aside for miscellaneous items, which Uddin said popped up with each inspection.

The total grew with addition of $50,100 for engineer-

COUNTY COMMISSION

Phone costs compared

By BOB JOHNSON The Iola Register

An impromptu visit by Iola Administrator Carl Slaugh to Tuesday’s commission meeting may lead to Allen County saving money on its telephone service.

County Clerk Sherrie Riebel told commissioners monthly AT&T charges were going up, from $5.25 to $6 per station (per phone) and $6 to $7.80 for line charges. The charges would be effective for three years.

Daniels files for county commission Jerry Daniels, Humboldt, is throwing his hat into the political ring.

Daniels, 45, filed Tuesday for a seat on the Allen County Commission.

He’s the second to file for the seat held by outgoing Dick Works, who announced previously he would not seek re-election.

Daniels joins Moran’s James Mueller as candidates, thus ensuring an Aug. 5 primary vote. (Both

are Republicans.) Candidates have until June 2 to file.

Family friends told the Register infection was a concern as Scheibmeir recovers.

Murphy said many responders had a role in getting Scheibmeir on his way to the medical center.

The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks is investigating the accident.

Cox Communications was mentioned as an alternative, and when Slaugh sauntered in he was asked about Iola’s phone system.

“We saved about $1,500 a month by going to Cox,” Slaugh said.

Also, he noted that Cox agreed to install a fiber optic line to the water plant free of charge, which AT&T had proposed to do for $25,000.

The fiber optic line supports upgrades in Internet connections the city deemed neces-

Attracting a grant isn’t a given, and some council members weren’t ready to sign off anytime soon on a $125,100 obligation.

Mayor Darrell Catron noted the council had made a conscious effort to keep the city’s property tax levy as low as possible, building reserves over the years.

“We’ve about spent down our reserves with the new storm shelter,” near the school, he said. It cost $57,000.

Alternatives were mentioned.

Uddin said a loan, with an interest rate of 4 to 4½ percent, might be available from

Humboldt student Lincoln students make top marks wins essay contest All A’s Honor Roll

Riley Schmidt is an award-winning writer.

The Humboldt fifthgrader placed second at the district level and first at the state level in the Elk’s Essay Contest.

The topic was “What Does Veterans Day Mean to Me?” Linda Rinehart, language arts teacher, gave students examples of what to write in the contest.

“We also watched videos on patriotism in class,” Schmidt said.

Schmidt said it took her awhile to write the essay.

“I learned about all the stuff veterans had to do in war,” Schmidt said.

Riley Schmidt “The whole thing was pretty hard.”

Schmidt will be recognized today at the school’s award assembly.

“Our school is very proud of Riley,” Rinehart said.

Schmidt is the daughter of John and Hannah Schmidt, Humboldt.

“Dick has done a great job,” Daniels said. “I want to do my part.”

Daniels has had a lengthy career in law enforcement. In addition to serving as Allen County undersheriff for about a year under current Sheriff Bryan Murphy, Daniels worked for about 20 years combined with the Humboldt Police Department and Kansas Highway Patrol.

A licensed pilot, Daniels also flew medical helicopters for several years, and now owns

Humboldt Helicopters.

He also farms and ranches near Humboldt and is retired from the Kansas National Guard.

“I’ve worked at the city and state level, and working at the county level has given me an insight and experience I think would be valuable as a commissioner,” he said. “I’ve worked at the corporate level, and I’m a business owner.”

The general election is in November. The next commissioner will be seated in January 2015.

Financial Focus Turn Your Retirement “Vision” into Reality

Retirement can be an exciting, active time of your life. But if you’re going to get the full benefits from your retirement years — which could last two, or even three, decades — you’ll need to have a vision for what you want to do. And to transform this vision into reality, you’ll need to take a “holistic” approach — one that involves a financial strategy, clear communications with family members and an awareness of the challenges that may stand in your way.

To articulate and achieve your vision, ask yourself a series of questions, such as the following: • What do I want to do? When you retire, do you plan on traveling around the world? Purchasing a vacation home?

Pursuing your hobbies? Or maybe you’re even thinking of opening a small business. Clearly, you have many options — and you’ll need to be aware that some choices are going to be more costly than others. If you can identify how you want to spend your retirement years and then put a “price tag” on your goal — or at least come up with a pretty good estimate of how much money you’ll need each year — you can then create an appropriate investment strategy. Such a strategy will include both your need for growth — during your pre-retirement and retirement years — and your need for income, especially during your retirement years. Your investment strategy will also need to be based on your risk tolerance, family situation and time horizon — how many years you have until your retirement.

• What “roadblocks” might I encounter? As you work to achieve your retirement vision, you may well encounter some “roadblocks” along the way. One significant roadblock is the amount of health care expenses you might face during retirement. Many people think Medicare will cover everything, but that’s not the case — in fact, you could easily spend a few thousand dollars each year, out of pocket, for health care costs. And since these costs typically rise as you move further into retirement, you’ll need a reasonable portion of your assets to be allocated to investments with the potential for rising income. Even beyond normal health care costs, though, you’ll need to be aware that you could eventually need some type of long-term care, such as a stay in a nursing home or assistance from a home health aide. These costs can be enormous; to cope with them, you need to prepare well ahead of time, so you may want to consult with your financial advisor for possible solutions.

• How can I protect my family? Your retirement vision can’t just involve yourself, or even just yourself and your spouse. To fully enjoy your retirement years, you’ll want to know that you are helping to protect your grown children from financial and emotional burdens that could fall on them should you become incapacitated in some way.

Among the steps you might consider taking is establishing a durable power of attorney, which allows you to appoint an agent to manage your financial affairs, make health care decisions or conduct other business for you during your incapacitation. Consult with your legal advisor about creating a durable power of attorney.

You will find that having your retirement vision come to fruition can be a great feeling. So, do whatever it takes to make it happen.

GOP sees mixed results in getting women to run for office

By CHUCK RAASCH St. Louis Post-Dispatch

WASHINGTON — Rep. Ann Wagner of Missouri, who is co-chairing an effort to recruit more Republican women to run for the U.S. House of Representatives, has seen mixed results.

A half-dozen GOP women have navigated through treacherous GOP primaries or nominating conventions.

Among them is Mia Love, who easily won a nominating convention in Utah last month and is favored to become the first black female Republican in the House.

But more have lost, and overall numbers of women recruits in both political parties are lagging behind 2012, a record year for women running for and winning seats in what has long been dubbed the people’s house.

With filing periods still open in many states, 196 women have filed for the House, 68 of them

Republicans, according to the Center for American Woman and Politics at Rutgers University, or CAWP. Eleven women have won nominations among Democrats, as have six Republican women. But nine Republican women have lost nominations to run in November general elections, compared with just three Democrats, according to CAWP. Both parties have a way to go to top 2012, a record year for women running for Congress.

According to CAWP, 298 women filed for office in 2012 — 190 Democrats and 108 Republicans.

Of them, 118 Democrats won primaries, while just 48 Republicans did.

Of those 166 who survived to run in the November elections, 76 won House seats in 2012. But only 20 were Republicans, and the resignation of former Missouri Rep. Jo Ann Emerson reduced that by one.

Wagner says that

when she first walked into the Republican caucus shortly after arriving in Congress last year, the gender imbalance struck her.

“There are 234 members in our (Republican) conference, and guess what? There are 19 women,” Wagner said. “That is terrible. Women make up 54 percent of the electorate. We are on the front lines, know what it is like to make the spending decisions. ... Women are on the front lines of health care.”

Analysts who study voters and primary campaigns say that Republican women have an especially hard time getting through their party primaries because of who votes in them.

“Republicans are likely to see a small uptick in their number of women in 2014, but it’s still a gradual change,” said David Wasserman, an analyst for the nonpartisan Cook Political Report. “Part of the problem for Wagner and

her allies is shepherding women through tough primaries.”

Why? “Republican primary voters are less likely than Democratic primary voters to be women,” he said, “and are less likely to value gender parity in Congress as a motivator in their votes.”

Along with Rep. Diane Black, R-Tenn., Wagner is helping the National Republican Congressional Committee recruit Republican women to run for the House this fall.

Wagner said she disagreed with critics who say the GOP has a relatively weak bench, with a lack of Republican

Gay couples rush for licenses in Pennsylvania PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Same-sex couples in Pennsylvania clamored for marriage licenses after a judge ruled to allow the state to join the rest of the Northeast in legalizing gay weddings, with Philadelphia offices staying open late to handle a rush of applications.

Under state law, couples must wait three days after their application to get married unless a sympathetic judge grants a waiver.

Before three days pass after Tuesday’s ruling, Republican Gov. Tom Corbett could appeal and effectively put it on hold, though he didn’t immediately indicate whether he would.

Joe Parisi, 30, and Steven Seminelli, 28,

live in Philadelphia and were among the first to get a license Tuesday.

They texted each other during work and decided they had to get a license as soon as they could, Parisi said.

“We didn’t want to take the chance of having this be challenged and missing out on our opportunity,” he said.

A torrent of celebration was met by criticism from state Republicans, who as recently as 2012 endorsed a platform defining marriage as between a man and a woman.

“An activist judiciary has substituted its judgment in place of the law created by the elected representatives of Pennsylvania and has stifled the on-

going debate of people with differing points of view,” party Chairman Rob Gleason said, citing a 1996 ban on gay marriage instituted by state legislators.

The federal judge who issued the ruling, John E. Jones III — a Republican and an appointee of former President George W. Bush — also ordered the recognition of same-sex marriages performed elsewhere as he overturned the ban.

Corbett’s office was left to defend the ban last year after Democratic Attorney General Kathleen Kane refused to do so. A spokesman for Corbett’s office said it was reviewing the legal issues presented in the opinion.

Counselors help at 9/11 museum NEW YORK (AP) — There are prominent videos of the twin towers collapsing and photos of people falling from them. Portraits of nearly 3,000 victims and voice mail messages from people in hijacked planes.

But behind the wrenching sights and sounds of the National Sept. 11 Memorial Museum lies a quiet effort to help visitors handle its potentially traumatic impact, from silent spaces and built-in tissue boxes to a layout designed to let people bypass the most intense exhibits.

Discreet oak-leaf symbols denote items connected to the dead, and the images of falling victims are in an alcove marked with a warning sign. Designers made

sure rooms have ample exits, lest people feel claustrophobic in the underground space. And American Red Cross counseling volunteers will even be standing by as the museum opens to the public on Wednesday.

‘There’s a lot of thought given to the psychological safety of visitors,’ said Jake Barton, who helped create the exhibits.

It’s the latest in a series of memorials-asmuseums that seek to honor the dead while presenting a full, fair history of the event that killed them. And the Sept. 11 museum strives to do that at ground zero while the attacks are still raw memories for many.

Patricia Smith, 14, found herself looking at her late mother’s police shield while touring the

museum last week when it opened to victims’ families. She found it inspiring, but also ‘really upsetting, at points.’

Museum planners realized early on the challenge of trying not to shatter people ‘while at the same time being true to the authenticity of the event,’ said Tom Hennes, founder of exhibit designer Thinc Design.

Trauma specialists told museum leaders that sounds of voices and images of hands and faces could be particularly distressing and that visitors should get to choose what to see.

The goal: ‘to keep it feeling alive and present without making it so alive and present that it’s unbearable,’ says psychologist Billie Pivnick, who worked with Thinc.

sary to track operations.

A fiber line also was extended to the recreation offices in Riverside Park, a savings of $8,000 over AT&T’s proposal.

Slaugh’s comments prompted commissioners to look into the alternative.

Commissioners agreed to pay $10,197 to replace concrete steps and landing on the west side of the courthouse and a sidewalk running south from the building to Madison Avenue.

Ron Holman, maintenance supervisor, said he sent specifications to seven companies, and followed up on sev-

eral, but received only one bid, from Lickteig Construction, Garnett, which won the contract.

Others either were too busy or didn’t want to do the work, Holman said.

FARM-CITY

DAYS

will be Oct. 16-18 with many activities planned on the courthouse lawn, as they have been for years, Elyssa Jackson, a committee member, told commissioners.

They agreed to permit use, with the usual provision that committee members ensure the lawn would be free of trash after the event.

The carnival again will be on Jackson Av-

enue, between Washington and Jefferson. Washington and Jefferson will be barricaded much of Saturday (Oct. 18).

The car show, a fixture for years, is not a certainty, Jackson added, noting that a car show the first day of the Allen County Fair, July 26, will give fanciers an opportunity to show their cars and see others.

Evening events the three days are a movie night on the square, Oct. 16; a pub crawl, Oct. 17, and a dance, Oct. 18.

Jackson said the pub crawl would involve visits to the Iola Elks Club and local taverns, to play games and imbibe a bit.

mind. The Association encourages funding that will support quality education within the school district. The group has completed projects such as the track remodel in 2004, the purchase of new Iola High School band uniforms and instruments in the 20032004 school year and string instrument donations to the Iola High School string orchestra program in 2010.

Linn said the Association is currently taking proposals on future projects. If an invididual has a project in mind they can reach out to the As-

sociation for recommendations.

“We really are trying to reach out and enhance the district in any way, shape or form,” Caillouet-Weiner said.

The current task is to connect with alumni more efficiently to continue successful projects.

“We wanted to provide a place for classes to put out their information and connect with each other,” Caillouet-Weiner said.

Linn said class officers can send in information on reunions and class news to him and he can get it on the website.

This year the classes of 1954, 1964 and 1974 are celebrating monumental reunions. They are featured on the website.

“We have posted class newsletters and event times for people on the site,” Linn said.

Through the years it becomes difficult for class officers to reach people. Caillouet-Weiner and Linn hope the site will eliminate the problem. To find out more about the Alumni Endowment Association visit http://alumni. usd257.org or its Facebook page at www.facebook.com/USD257Alumni.

bans have been falling around the country since the U.S. Supreme Court struck down part of the federal Defense of Marriage Act last year.

On Monday, Oregon became the 18th state to recognize same-sex marriage after a federal judge invalidated its voter-approved ban.

Also Monday, a federal judge in Utah ordered state officials to recognize more than 1,000 gay marriages that took place in the two weeks before the U.S. Supreme Court halted weddings there with an emergency stay.

And later Tuesday, a federal appeals court ruled that no same-sex marriages will be allowed or recognized in

Idaho until an appeal is decided on a ruling this month that overturned that state’s ban.

If the Pennsylvania decision stands, it would become the 19th state to

legalize gay marriage. It also would create a bloc of 11 states from Maine to Maryland that allow same-sex marriage, in addition to the District of Columbia.

through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development Program to meet the city’s grant match.

Also, Anderson noted that a state effort, Kansas Small Town Environment Program (KANSTEP), might be a better financing route. Under it volunteer labor may be used to match 40 percent of an improvement grant.

The downside might be that a large number of volunteers, not three or four, would need to

be enlisted and willing to work for a prolonged time.

Ultimately, Catron and council members, notably Mark Henry, liked what they saw but had reservations about how the city would meet the CDBG match without increasing the property tax property by a significant amount or obligating itself to long-term debt with USDA. More discussion will unfold when Uddin returns with more specific information.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Kansas, warts and all, subject of TV series Kansas is the focus of a three-part series on the news program “All In,” on channel MSNBC. Yes, it’s a liberal-leaning program, hosted by Chris Allen, so its bent, naturally, was to target ultra-conservative decisions it deemed harmful to Kansans, including: • Massive income tax cuts for the rich, but tax increases on the poor, that have resulted in a loss of 8 percent of state revenues, the equivalent of a minirecession; • Mandatory drug tests for those applying for both welfare and unemployment benefits; • Proof of U.S. citizenship for those registering to vote for the first time; • Stripping teachers of tenure and their right to due process; • Denying the expansion of Medicaid, and • Eviscerating Kansas gun laws.

Gone are the days when our wholesome breadbasket image went hand-inhand with moderation and commonsense.

Today, Kansas is seen as a laboratory for ultra-conservative ideas with Gov. Sam Brownback as its fearless leader.

Less than two years in office, Brownback worked to remake the Legislature in his image, recruiting conservative Republicans to run against moderate incumbents. Eight moderates, including Senate President Steve Morris, were replaced by conservatives in 2012. Today both houses of the Legislature have overwhelming majorities of conservative lawmakers, allowing their agenda to proceed unchecked.

Moderates call the political climate “Brownbackistan,” akin to an Eastern European country in the grip of a dictator.

TO OUTSIDERS, Kansas is also known as Koch Country, in reference to the billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch, whose Wichita-based petroleum industry funds con-

servative politics outright and through its Americans for Prosperity.

This legislative season alone, opponents have funneled $300,000 in efforts to repeal the state’s renewable energy portfolio standard that requires utilities to adapt 20 percent of their energy sources to renewable energy by 2020.

The Kochs work to stymie solar power, repeal renewable energy mandates and encourage climate change denial, in efforts to benefit their privately held petroleum business, valued at $100 billion.

Six separate legislative bills were written to repeal the renewable energy mandate this past session.

The western Kansas delegation, home to the massive wind farms, helped defeat the measures. Still in its infancy, the wind industry employees thousands of Kansans and has generated $2 billion in revenue.

HELPING

BURNISH

Kansas’ image in the TV news show were interviews with Bob Dixson, mayor of Greensburg, and Peter Ferrell, a longtime Flint Hills rancher.

After the 2007 tornado, Greensburg rebuilt itself using wind to fuel its energy needs.

“People’s first impression was, ‘Oh, that’s political, left wing, New Age,’” Dixson said. “It’s not. It’s about our issue to leave a legacy for future generations.”

For Ferrell, wind energy has proven to be “my most drought-resistant crop,” out on the high plains where water has been in short supply.

Ferrell figures his wind farm furnishes energy needs for 60,000 homes.

Political pundits wonder how much more conservative Kansas can get before things snap back into place.

If we dare test, the damage may be too monumental to overcome.

This election cycle is proving ever more critical to our future.

— Susan Lynn

Kobach blends politics, business It turns out that Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach isn’t just a gun enthusiast and stalwart defender of the Second Amendment. He’s also a principal investor of the Kansas-based gun maker Minuteman Defense LLC. That investment, and Kobach’s potential for financial gain, makes his overt involvement in advancing a Kansas law that insulates Kansasmade firearms from federal regulations both questionable and contemptible.

In 2013, the Kansas Legislature passed and Gov. Sam Brownback signed a bill that would protect Kansas-made firearms.

Through the cry of state sovereignty, the law mandates that firearms made and sold in Kansas can’t be touched by federal regulations.

Kobach helped write the bill, testified in support of it and assured lawmakers it would pass legal challenge.

He even rebutted U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder’s argument that the Kansas law Kris Kobach was unconstitutional.

What the Kansas Secretary of State failed to mention through all that time, however, was his personal financial interest in the legislation and that he wasn’t simply acting on the behalf of Kansans

Fee change a setback for counties It wasn’t a surprise, but it was nevertheless disappointing that Gov. Sam Brownback on May 14 signed legislation that will eliminate the mortgage registration fee over several years.

The new law, which had been supported by the Kansas banking and real estate lobbies, will save homebuyers who take out mortgages $2.60 on every $1,000 they borrow.

On a $100,000 loan, they would save $260. That’s not bad, but neither is it much of a windfall given the total costs involved.

Unfortunately, changing a law that has been on the books for decades — and that did much good at comparatively little cost — will likely hurt most Kansas counties more than it helps homebuyers.

That’s because revenue from the fees has gone to the counties in which the deeds are registered, and that explains why Kansas counties overwhelmingly opposed the legislation. Even provisions written into the law to offset some of the losses will leave many counties to decide whether to raise property tax-

Apparently not content to slash state revenue, the Legislature and Gov. Brownback have taken to cutting revenue counties rely on. In eliminating the mortgage registration fee, the Legislature and governor have only added insult to injury.

es or scale back services. As was the case in many of the state’s 105 counties, the Riley County Commission formally opposed the legislation.

The governor’s signature on this bill roughly coincided with a more detailed report from Moody’s Investor Services, which last month downgraded Kansas bonds.

Moody’s took that step largely because in its view, the zeal with which the Legislature has cut taxes has undermined the state’s financial integrity.

And although the governor has insisted that the tax cuts will spur economic growth, Moody’s noted that economic growth in Kansas is not keeping up with the pace of most neighboring states.

Moody’s didn’t go so far as to call doing away with the

state income tax a credit risk, but it did say that “eliminating a tax that has been in place for many years and has accounted for a large share of revenue entails risks.”

Unfortunately, some of those risks will be increasingly borne by local governments, which will find themselves cushioning the blow on residents who’ve relied on state services and programs that, because of the lack of revenue, are being cut back.

Now, apparently not content to slash state revenue, the Legislature and Gov. Brownback have taken to cutting revenue counties rely on. In eliminating the mortgage registration fee, the Legislature and governor have only added insult to injury.

Kobach’s actions are a strikingly clear display of crony capitalism, where friends of politicians gain from their influential connections, and where politicians use their positions to create and pass legislation that yields personal gain for themselves or their friends.

concerned about their right to bear arms.

Kobach’s support of the legislation and his work to guide the bill to passage seemingly also was motivated by the need to create a specific market for his company’s products and to ensure that his investment paid off.

Kobach’s actions are a strikingly clear display of crony capitalism, where friends of politicians gain from their influential connections, and where politicians use their positions to create and pass legislation that yields personal gain for themselves or their friends. To that point, Kobach’s business partner is a longtime friend who has contributed significant amounts of money to Kobach’s campaigns.

It’s a shame the poor, the middle class, the sick and the elderly can’t all be friends with powerful people like Kobach.

Likewise, it’s unfortunate that most Kansans can’t offer the motivating promise of wealth and profit. All we can offer are votes, and we’re quickly learning that those

don’t hold nearly the worth of money.

A vote certainly isn’t enough to get the secretary of state’s attention, and it’s surely not enough to compel him to carry legislation through the gauntlet of Topeka politics.

Kobach’s actions, while legal, lack scruples.

At the least, he could’ve been upfront with Kansans about his motivation for aggressively pushing the legislation; better still if he would’ve recognized the conflict of his support and allowed others to support the legislation.

Yet that arrogant failure to recognize conflict and repeated efforts to use public office for personal gain is precisely why there is a growing lack of faith in the current leaders in Topeka.

Almost daily it becomes more clear that the needs and wants of Kansans fall far below some public officials’ desire to use government as a tool for their personal benefit and that there’s little some won’t do to capitalize on their time in office.

Morrell noted for research Iola native and University of Kansas graduate Adam Morrell has been honored for his research paper.

Morrell received the Carl Becker Award for the most outstanding paper in a senior research seminar for his work, “The Inevitable Downfall of Nazi Germany.�

Morrell, who earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in history at KU commencement ceremonies Sunday, received a certificate of merit and a $350 check.

Morrell will attend the University of North Texas in Denton next year to work on his master’s in information technology and management.

Vacation Bible School is on the horizon for First Presbyterian and Wesley United Methodist churches. “We’ll have a Biblethemed puppet show at the coffee shop (Right Around the Corner, 110 S. Jefferson Ave.) Saturday,� said Elyssa Jackson, a VBS organizer. “There will be information and an opportunity for parents to sign up their children.�

Bible school is June 2-6, with each church having an active role.

Marmaton Valley, Yates Center fall in Regional Playoffs — B3

Iola’s baseball season ends in heartbreak

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

BURLINGTON — In a fitting microcosm of their 2014 season, Iola High’s Mustangs brought several thrills to the legions of supporters who followed them to Burlington Tuesday for the Class 4A-II Regional Tournament.

But the youthful Iola squad, with six freshmen and sophomores playing leading roles, couldn’t find the big hits necessary in game 2, a 7-6 heartbreaker at the hands of Burlington High in the championship game.

The loss sends Iola home for the season with a 13-9 record.

“I’m so competitive that sometimes I forget we have this many freshmen and sophomores,” Iola head coach Mark Percy said. “But they really got after it tonight. I told them all I wanted out of this tournament was for us to compete, and not just go down. I thought we did that. I’m proud of ’em.”

The championship game came down to the final pitch, with freshman Garrett Wade batting with the bases loaded and two outs.

Wade sent a screaming

ground ball to the opposite field, but straight at Burlington second baseman Tate Swank, who fielded the smash cleanly and threw to first for the out, sending the Wildcats into a state of delirious celebration.

“That ball gets through, we at least tie it and probably have the lead,” Percy said. “We had a lot of young ball players who grew up this season, and especially tonight.”

The loss came after an equally exciting first game, a 5-4 substate semifinal win over Santa Fe Trail that went for eight innings.

The tie-breaker in the opener came on Drew Faulhaber’s two-out double to straightaway center that barely missed going over the fence for a home run.

“I thought it was out for a second,” Faulhaber said. “I was seeing the ball well all night.”

THE LOSS brings to an end the high school careers of two senior standouts, Trent Latta and Derrick Weir.

Both went out with a bang.

Latta pitched a complete game in the opener, striking out 16 Santa Fe Trail batters, while allowing only one run.

Iola’s Ethan Scheibmeir tags out Cody Vandevord in the Iola Mustang 5-4 win over Santa Fe Trail Tuesday afternoon. Iola lost the Class 4A Regional championship game to Burlington 7-6 ending Iola’s season. REGISTER/RICHARD LUKEN He also came on in relief in the second game, despite throwing 128 pitches already on the day.

“My arm was fine,” Latta said. “I wanted to pitch more.”

Tournament rules, however, limit a pitcher to nine innings in one day.

Weir, meanwhile, went 3-for3 in the title game with a pair of RBI doubles. His second double of the game sparked a three-run Mustang rally in the top of the third to put Iola on

top, 4-1. His shot was followed

by RBI singles from Ethan Scheibmeir and Faulhaber.

But Weir, who started from the mound in the second game, tired in the third inning and went back to his normal position, catcher.

Burlington scored twice in the third to cut the gap to 4-3 and thrice more in the fourth to lead for the first time, 6-4.

Faulhaber’s two-run triple in the top of the fifth tied the score once again for Iola, 6-6.

Burlington’s Kendall Jeffers, who went 4-for-4 in the title game against Iola, broke the tie with a two-out RBI single in the bottom of the inning.

Latta walked and advanced to second in the top of the sixth, but was stranded. Weir led off the seventh with a walk.

Faulhaber reached on an error and Ethan Sigg worked a two-out walk to load

Lady Cubs roll in 3A regional

By SPENCER MICHELSON The Iola Register

HUMBOLDT — Playing in the state tournament is becoming a normal occurrence for the Humboldt Lady Cubs.

The team clinched its spot after winning the Class 3A Regional Tournament Tuesday night.

“It was great,” coach Brad

Piley said. “I’ll tell you we had the small ballgame going on earlier and we also had the long ballgame going for us, with home runs working for us and our defense was playing good.”

In the first game, the Lady Cubs beat Jayhawk-Linn 7-1.

The score wasn’t indicative of how close the game actually was for the majority of it.

Humboldt got off to an early 2-0 lead in the first inning.

Breanna Kline hit a leadoff single. Mallory Roush hit Kline in with an RBI-triple.

Courtney Richey hit into a fielders choice to the pitcher, which allowed Roush to come in for the second run.

Offense launches YC in 2-1A tourney

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

YATES CENTER — Yates Center High’s potent offensive attack has the Wildcats in the state tournament.

The Wildcats rolled to victories of 17-2 over Flinthills and 13-6 over Uniontown in Tuesday’s Class 2-1A Regional Tournament. The wins put Yates Center (184) in the 2-1A state tournament, which begins May 29 in Great Bend.

The only trepidation came in the championship game,

after Uniontown scored five in the top of the third to erase a 5-0 Yates Center lead.

The Wildcats responded with two in the bottom of the fourth without collecting a hit, courtesy of three Uniontown errors.

The hits came an inning later. Courtney Arell smacked an RBI double before Aubrey Smith followed with a three-run shot to center, pushing the lead to 11-5.

Chessa Chrisman followed two batters later with another home run, a two-run shot.

MV baseball falls to Colgan OSWEGO — Marmaton Valley High’s Wildcat baseball team ran into the St. Mary’s-Colgan buzzsaw Tuesday.

Colgan, the defending state champions in baseball, rolled past the Wildcats 15-0 in Tuesday’s Class 2-1A substate semifinal.

“Colgan is a very good team,and I think we were a little intimidated from the start,”

Wildcat head coach Derek Scharff said.

“We are a very young team and hopefully, our guys will continue to work and get better so we can compete better next year.”

Sage Hall took the loss, giving up four walks and two hit batters. He surrendered six hits, while striking out six.

“Sage pitched a

good game,” Scharff said. “We should have caught four pop flies that would have gotten us out of innings with minimal damage. They hit the ball very well.”

Conversely, Marmaton Valley went hitless in three innings.

“We watched a lot of strikes go by without swinging,” Scharff said. “We were not very aggressive at the plate.”

Cedar Vale edges Yates Center

SEK Vipers, a 10 & under traveling girls softball team with players from Iola, Moran, Humboldt and Colony, competed in the VIP Series Summer Kickoff in Lee’s Summit, Mo., over the weekend. On Saturday, the Vipers defeated a team from Chanute, High Octane, 5-1, Sliders 4-3, and the Fireballs, 8-1. Saturday’s pool play placed them as a top seed for Sunday’s bracket play. The Vipers defeated the Shawnee Gators 12-0 in the first game on Sunday and advanced to the championship game against the Lawrence Hummers, which the Vipers won, 9-0. Team members are, front from left, Lindsey Godderz, Kailey Schinstock, Aysha Houk and Allie Ard; second row from left, bat boy Blake Ellis, Chloe Sell, Carsyn Haviland, Kendall Scharff, Lauryn Holloway, Reece Murry, Brooklyn Ellis and Kayla Ard; and third row from left, coaches Corey Schinstock, Jenny Ellis and Kim Murry.

HOWARD — Yates Center High’s baseball season came up two runs and two wins short of the Wildcats’ goal of making it to state.

The Wildcats

dropped a 9-7 decision to Dexter High of Cedar Vale in the Class 2-1A Regional semifinal round Tuesday.

The defeat ends Yates Center’s season with

an 11-10 record. Details from the game were unavailable.

Dexter continued its postseason roll with a 9-5 win over Flinthills to secure a state berth.

the bases for Wade, whose grounder ended the game.

Latta and Faulhaber both had two hits, including triples, while Kohl Endicott and Scheibmeir both singled once.

Left fielder Brett Taylor exited the game in the bottom of the third after colliding with Faulhaber on a pop fly in the bottom of the third.

Taylor hung on for the out, which turned into a sacrifice fly for Burlington. Iola appealed the play, claiming Jeffers left third base too early, an appeal denied by the umpires.

THE SEMIFINAL win over Santa Fe Trail featured several thrills as well.

The Mustangs took advantage of Charger errors to race to a 4-0 lead by the middle of the second inning.

Latta led off the game with an infield single. He stole second and scored on Endicott’s bunt single, after Santa Fe Trail threw the ball away at first.

A walk, hit batter and error loaded the bases for the Mustangs in the top of the second before Latta smacked a bases-

clearing triple to push the advantage to four.

But a pair of Mustang errors to open Santa Fe Trail’s half of the second led to three unearned runs. The Chargers then tied the score in the bottom of the fifth on Weston Gloss’ RBI

single.

Meanwhile, Iola’s bats went silent against Charger starter Spencer Bessette, who allowed only three hits in six innings, and only one after the second.

“We didn’t hit the ball as well as we wanted to-

night,” Percy said.

Gloss came on in relief in the seventh, retiring Iola in order and then striking out Endicott and Weir to open the eighth. But Scheibmeir walked on four pitches before Faulhaber worked a full count before his smash to center bounced off the glove of Santa Fe Trail’s Conner Fannin for the game-winner.

Latta had a single and triple, while Faulhaber doubled. Endicott and Weir singled.

The Chargers loaded the bases in the bottom of the eighth on a leadoff double, hit batter and two-out walk before Latta struck out Tyler Mundy on three straight pitches to end the game.

Latta gave up seven hits in eight innings with 16 strikeouts and three walks. Only one of the runs against him were earned.

“I’ve loved my four years here,” Latta said.

“It sucks that we lost. I was expecting to win.

Coach Percy has meant everything to this team.”

“Trent and Derrick

really stepped up for us tonight, like they have all along,” Percy said.

“Drew had some huge hits. He’s really come along.”

“Trent threw a helluva game,” Weir said. “He worked and battled and finished it off.”

Weir’s game included his first strikeout of the season, in his final at bat.

“I had two goals: to make it back to state, and to not strike out this season,” Weir said.

“Came up just short in both of them.”

Burlington is coached by former Iolan Charlie Whitworth, son of Io-

lans Jerry and Sharon Whitworth.

Charlie’s son, Cooper, is the starting catcher for the Wildcats.

Burlington pitcher Joe Metzger picked up the win, throwing more than 140 pitches in his complete game.

other run in the third inning, to increase the lead to 3-0. Kline had another single, then made it to second base after the catcher attempted to throw her out at first while she was leading off in-between pitches.

Instead of the ball ending up in the first baseman’s glove, it ended up in right field allowing Kline to take second base. Roush hit a ball that hit the middle of the leftfielders mitt and popped out, allowing Kline to score instead of the inning ending.

The Jayhawks finally scored a run in the fifth.

A ball was hit over the rightfielders head toward the fence. The Jayhawk batter made her way all the way back to home plate after a Lady Cub threw the ball wild to third base, allowing for the run to score.

The sixth inning sealed up the game for

Humboldt.

Mallory Roush had another RBItriple. She was hit in after an RBI-double from Courtney Richey, who ended up scoring after another dropped ball by a Jayhawk outfielder.

Jaci Ross then hit an RBIsingle.

Humboldt won the game 7-1, and went on to face Wellsville in the championship. The Eagles won their game against Osage City 6-4, with a three run sixth inning breaking a 3-3 tie.

GAME TWO featured a more consistent Lady Cub offense. After going down 1-0 in the top half of the first, Humboldt answered back in the bottom of the frame. Kline had a leadoff triple and scored after Roush had a bunt single.

“We had all aspects of our play going in the second game,” Piley said.

The second inning saw Humboldt open up its

lead. Kayle Riebel had a solo-homer. Delaney Umhotlz then reached on a single, stole second, got to third on a wild pitch and scored on a wild pitch.

Humboldt scored two more runs to take a 5-1 lead in the third inning.

Kline reached first on an error and Brooke Turner laid down a sacrifice bunt that moved Kline to second. No one was covering third and Kline took the extra bag on the play. Roush then laid down a bunt that allowed Kline to score, and Roush ended up at second because of a wild throw to the plate.

In the fourth inning, Umholtz had a leadoff solo-homer to widen the lead to 6-1. Wellsville answered back in the fifth with their very own solohomer. Humboldt scored another run in the bottom of the inning on an RBI-single that dropped into right field from

Richey.

Two more runs in the sixth, scored off of Eagle mistakes, increased the Lady Cubs lead to 9-2, which would be the final score. Humboldt clinched its berth to the Class 3A State Tournament.

“We want to go all the way, is what we’d like to do,” Piley said.

The Lady Cubs finished the regular season at 23-0.

Courtney Richey, above, pitched two complete games to earn both victories. She is now 17-0 on the season.

pitched both games, piling up the statistics. Piley said she is awesome and only getting better.

In game one, she pitched a complete game with 13 strikeouts, only allowing one run on three hits and a walk. In the championship game, she did more than just make her presence known on the mound. Again, she pitched a complete game, this time with 12 strikeouts. She game up two runs on five hits.

Delaney Umholtz, above, slides into home plate during the championship game of the Class 3A Regional against Wellsville. Umholtz had a solo home run later in the game.

Cavs get top pick

MUSTANGS FLEX THEIR MUSCLES

NEW YORK (AP) — The Cleveland Cavaliers would prefer to be known for being good, not lucky.

Maybe next year.

For now, disappointment is replaced by disbelief, as even they are amazed by their remarkable run of lottery luck.

“It was incredible,” general manager David Griffin said Tuesday. “When Cleveland didn’t pop up at nine, I knew obviously we had moved up and I had to gather myself for a second. Just a remarkable feeling.”

The Cavaliers won the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft for the second straight year and third time in the last four.

The Iola Mustangs, a 13-and-under traveling baseball team, took home first over the weekend at the Hawaiian Hit Fest at Blue Springs Sports Complex in Overland Park. The Mustangs went 6-0 in the 32-team tournament. Team members are, front from left, Cael Johnson, Hunter Baughn, Brannon Nordstedt, Derek Bycroft, Karson McGraw and Ethan Tavarez; second from left, assistant coach Ryan Latta, coach Luke Bycroft, Hunter Preston, Dylan Newland, Kane Rogers, Matt Karr, Nic Zimmerman, coach Steve Zimmerman, assistant coach Jarred Latta and assistant coach Aaron Barclay.

That was after Arell and Smith hit back-toback two-run doubles, followed by an RBI single from Hailie Green, to give Yates Center a 5-0 lead in the bottom of the second.

Uniontown promptly evened the score, including Torrie Hathaway’s three-run homer, in the third.

Smith picked up the win, gving up 12 hits and three earned runs in sev-

en innings. She struck out eight without a walk.

Smith went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a home run. Emily Proper rapped out three singles.

Arell doubled twice.

Chrisman added a home run, while Green, Shayna Karmann and Jessica Rossillon each had singles.

THE WILDCATS had little trouble against Flinthills in the opener, scoring seven in the first and six in the second.

Flinthills scored twice in the third against Smith, who surrendered five hits in three innings.

She struck out five. Like the win over Uniontown, she didn’t walk a batter.

Meanwhile, Arell had a grand slam and single, with five RBIs to pace the Wildcat offense.

Sabrina Arell and Karmann both had two doubles and singles in three at bats. Smith had three hits, including a double.

Chrisman tripled. Proper singled.

Kansas City comeback falls short in loss to Sox

By BLAIR KERKHOFF The Kansas City Star

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (MCT) — An inning of defensive misplays that ended without an error, and a second three-run homer in three days allowed by a pitcher who hadn’t surrendered an earned run all season.

Those circumstances dragged the Royals into a hole deep enough to prevent escape in a 7-6 loss to the White Sox despite a late charge.

The Royals pushed across four runs over the final two innings to create drama, and the game ended with speedster Jarrod Dyson as the tying run at second base.

But Lorenzo Cain swung through Ronald Belisario’s fast ball, ending the game.

“You play to the last out. That’s what we did,” Royals designated hitter Billy Butler said. “It wasn’t enough.”

The Royals had sliced into a five-run deficit in the eighth with a threespot that fell short of a monster rally when Mike Moustakas, who

Southern Coffey Co.

had lost his platoon role with Danny Valencia on Tuesday, stepped into a hero’s opportunity and couldn’t take advantage.

He popped out to third with one out and runners at the corners. Nori Aoki grounded out, ending the inning and rally that was fueled by Eric Hosmer’s leadoff double and Cain’s RBI single and hustle around the bases.

Turned out, a threerun homer by the White Sox muscle man Adam Dunn in the eighth off Aaron Crow was the difference. Dunn sent Crow’s offering 426 feet to dead center. Crow, who had a 0.00 earned run average entering Sunday, had gotten tagged by the Orioles’ Adam Jones on Sunday.

“Definitely a mistake,” Crow said. “Trying to go sinker down and away. I’ve struck out Adam a few times on sinkers down and away. I didn’t execute it.”

The shaky defense came in a head-scratching fifth inning.

The Royals had staked starter Yordano Ventura to a 2-1 lead, and the first mistake had nothing to do with defense. Ventura hung a breaking ball to Chicago’s No. 9 hitter, Tyler Flowers, who crushed it 411 feet to left and made it 2-2.

One of baseball’s best defenses over the past two years then got leaky.

Alex Gordon, a threetime Gold Glove winner, couldn’t get enough leather on Adam Eaton’s sinking line drive. Gordon charged, went into a feet-first slide, but he didn’t snag a ball on a difficult play Royals fans have come to see as routine.

Eaton had a double and went to third on a wild pitch. With Valencia playing even with the bag at third, he had no chance to snare Gordon Beckham’s high chopper that bounced into left.

The White Sox led 3-2 but weren’t finished.

Beckham came around

to score on sequence of wild pitch, ground out to the right side, and wild pitch.

Add it up, and that’s three wild pitches in the frame. On two of them, Ventura’s breaking pitches bounced before reaching catcher Brett Hayes.

“I was trying to make good-quality pitches,” Ventura said through interpreter Bruce Chen.

“They went in the dirt, and it was hard for Hayes to block them.”

Hayes was playing for Salvador Perez, who is nursing a thumb injury.

Earlier in the day, the Royals called up Francisco Pena, son of former Royals’ manager Tony Pena, from Class AAA Omaha for catching insurance.

Does Perez prevent the wild pitches, and perhaps keep Ventura from the loss, or at least from not getting a quality start — six innings with three or fewer earned runs?

The Royals mustered little against White Sox starter Andre Rienzo.

Last year, Rienzo became the first Brazilianborn player to record a major-league victory when he beat the Royals at Kauffman Stadium.

He won again on Tuesday, baffling Royals hitters on an array of offspeed stuff.

One hitter the White Sox didn’t fool was Valencia, who normally plays only against lefthanded pitchers.

Tuesday, Royals manager Ned Yost went with Valencia against the righty Rienzo, and Valencia wasted no time taking his shot.

After Rienzo had walked Butler and hit Gordon, Valencia stepped up in an RBI spot and delivered both with a double to the right-center wall.

The Royals’ bats went silent after that until the eighth, and even then it wasn’t enough to prevent a second straight loss to the White Sox.

How do you like your STEAK? If you’re a steak lover, then you probably know the answer to this question. If you aren’t, here are some tips on what kind of steak to purchase and how to cook it.

At Bolling’s Meat Market we offer a variety of top steak cuts.

Popular selections include the porterhouse,T-bone, filet mignon, New York strip, rib eye and sirloin. Porterhouse and T-bone steaks are similar. Each comes from the short loin area and has a tenderloin on one side and a strip loin on the other. The steaks are tender, but can be expensive. Filet mignons and New York strips also come from the short loin area. Filet mignons are sometimes cut from the porterhouse and are very tender and low in fat. New York strips resemble porterhouse steaks without the tenderloin and bone. Both steaks are moderately priced. Rib eyes come from the rib area and are also moderately priced. Sirloins come in various cuts from the sirloin area. Top sirloins are the most tender.

Sirloins, in general, cost less than other cuts of steak.

Uses only the freshest breads, meats, cheeses, toppings & condiments!

Once you select a cut of steak, you must decide how you would like it cooked.

Choices include well done, medium well, medium, medium rare and rare.

Well-done steaks are cooked through completely and contain no pink in the center.

Medium-well steaks have a warm, slightly pink center.

Medium steaks have a warm, pink center.

Medium-rare steaks have a cool, pink center.

Rare steaks are cooked slightly and have a cool, red center.

The cut of steak you purchase and how you cook it is a matter of personal taste.

Be prepared to pick and choose until you find the right steak for you.

Conflict in diagnoses requires a follow-up Dear Dr. Roach: Would you please explain the difference between Parkinson’s disease and Lyme disease?

My husband has been told by a neurologist that he has Parkinson’s. A regular medical doctor who also works in the field of alternative medications or supplements has told him that he has Lyme disease. This doctor uses the Meridian Stress Assessment test, and he has been treating my husband with many supplements for his condition.

We have been told that there isn’t a test to determine Parkinson’s. All supplements and testing for Lyme disease are outof-pocket costs. We would appreciate your opinion or thoughts on his condition. — P.L. Answer: Lyme disease and Parkinson’s are very different conditions.

Lyme disease is caused by a bacteria spread by the deer tick. Often, the tick bite is not noticed at the time. In most cases, a characteristic targetshaped skin rash appears within a month of the tick bite. Some people may have fever, fatigue, headache or just not feel right.

Without treatment, Lyme can progress to a second stage, where it can affect the heart, joints and other organs. During this time, Lyme disease can affect

B7

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health the nervous system, but the common symptoms of nerve palsies of the face and head, meningitis and peripheral neuropathy are very unlike the usual symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. However, there have been a very few reported cases of advanced Lyme disease with symptoms that looked like Parkinson’s.

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurologic condition that causes tremors, slowed movements, stiffness and balance problems. Much later in the course of Parkinson’s disease, some people may not think clearly and can have hallucinations. I am not against alternative treatments if they don’t interfere with effective treatment, but if it is Lyme disease, it shouldn’t be treated with supplements.

Further, if he really has Parkinson’s, he is not getting treatments that may help him.

I would recommend a visit with an infectiousdisease specialist who’s familiar with Lyme disease to confirm or refute the diagnosis of Lyme disease.

Iola Blue and Gold makes mark in spring leagues Iola Blue and Gold Soccer’s program continues to grow in leaps and bounds.

Blue and Gold recently wrapped up play in a spring league in Paola, where all four teams got second or above in the final standings.

Iola’s 10-and-under squad wound up with a 6-2 record to tie for second with Chanute, behind league champion LaCygne I. Blue and Gold wound up winning a 1-0 forfeit over LaCygne I in the postseason tournament, because Iola’s opponent had used an ineligible player.

Elsewhere, Iola defeated Paola I, 2-0 behind goals by Logan Ulrich and Brett Willis. Carter Wilson had an assist.

T.J. Taylor and Casey McKarnin each had two saves.

The 10-and-under squad also defeated LaCygne III, 4-1. Ulrich had two goals and an assist. Wilson also found the back of the net twice.

Willis and Talkington both had assists. Taylor had five saves and McKarnin three.

Following that was a 5-0 romp over Paola II. Ulrich had two goals and two assists. Wilson had two goals and an assist.

Willis had one goal and one assist. McKarnin led with five saves. Taylor had three.

Among the Iola Blue and Gold Soccer Club team members in the 14-, 12- and 10-and-under squads are, front from left, Will Talkington, Brett Willis, Will Jay, T.J. Taylor, Casey McKarnin and Riley Jay; second from left, Morgan Babcock, Joseph Karr, Kori Babcock, Carter Wilson, Adrienne Reynolds, Sage Shaughnessy, Pieter Venter, Logan Ulrich and Matt Karr. REGISTER/RICHARD LUKEN Blue and Gold dropped a 3-1 decision to LaCygne II. Willis had Iola’s only goal, assisted by Wilson.

Taylor racked up six saves. McKarnin had four.

IOLA’S 12-and-under team wound up with an 8-0-1 record, tying with Chanute for the division championship. Blue and

Gold and Chanute ended the season with a 1-1 tie.

Pieter Venter had Iola’s goal. Royce Smith had five saves in goal.

Prior to that, Iola defeated Spring Hill, 9-5.

Kori Babcock had three goals, Hanna Gardner and Sydni Keagle scored two times each, and Josie Plumlee and Willis

had one goal each.

BLUE AND GOLD’S

14-and-under squad took second in its division with a 6-1-1 mark.

Last week, Iola defeated LaCygne II, 6-2. Bret Plumlee scored three goals. Zack Kress had a goal, as did Nolan Jones.

Iola also tied Spring

Hill, 4-4. Plumlee had three goals, while Jones scored once.

Kress racked up seven saves.

IOLA’S 19-and-under team, the El Jimador All-Stars, sported a 6-1 record.

Most recently, Iola thumped Osawatomie, 7-4. Devan Herfurth had

four goals, while Zane Beasley, Bryan Mueller and Colby Works scored once each. Mueller and Braden Plumlee had assists. Mason Key had six saves.
