Shutting down Wolf Creek could top $1B WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Shutting down the Wolf Creek nuclear power plant could cost as much $1 billion when it reaches the end of its useful life about 30 years from now, according to a new report.

The cost is recalculated every three years, allowing the Kansas Corporation Commission to ensure enough money is collected from customers to fund a trust to pay for the future expense, The Wichita Eagle reported Saturday.

The report, prepared by consultant TLG Services Inc., offers two options. Dismantling the plant as soon as it’s shut down would cost around $765 million in current-value

dollars, although the expense could increase to more than $1 billion if issues surrounding the long-term disposal of spent nuclear fuel aren’t resolved.

The other scenario is mothballing the plant near Burlington and tearing it down gradually over several decades at a cost of $1.03 billion.

This year marks the first time any cost estimate for dismantling Wolf Creek has exceeded $1 billion. The last report from 2011 estimated the cost of the immediate removal option at $630 million and the delayed removal option at $884 million.

Iola Council to discuss pool rates tonight Iola City Council members will discuss tonight possible changes in rates to use the Iola Municipal Pool starting next summer.

Recreation Director Jason Bauer has recommended several changes in rates and hours at the pool.

The Council also will discuss usage and ball field lights policies at Riverside Park.

Also on the agenda are discussions about the city’s health insurance plan, wild animal control issues and an offer from developer Tom Carlson to purchase land from the city near the Cedarbrook Golf Course site.

The 6 p.m. meeting is at the New Community Building at Riverside Park and is open to the public.

Fun for young and old The 68th annual Moran Day celebration drew scores of participants of all ages.

Weekend outing to study reptiles and amphibians YATES CENTER — Campers will study an assortment of reptile, amphibian and turtle species in rural Woodson County over the weekend.

The Kansas Herpetological Society will lead a field trip near and around the Woodson State Fishing Lake, also known as Lake Fegan, southwest of Yates Center.

The event is free and open to the public.

Participants will find and document the various reptile, amphibian and turtle species throughout the area as the animals prepare for their winter hibernation.

Most of the collected animals will be released where they are found, although some

individuals holding Kansas Scientific Collecting Permits may keep some specimens for further study.

“These outings have allowed people of all ages an exciting and unique opportunity to help with a scientific cause while learning more about a fascinating group of animals that is often misunderstood or

feared,” said Robin Oldman, KHS spokesman. “Because reptiles and amphibians live so close to the Earth and its water, changes in their numbers can indicate environmental change. That’s important information for our state’s residents and especially for farmers.”

Participants are advised

to wear long pants and thick boots and to dress appropriately for the weather and the terrain. Leather gloves, hats, sunscreen, drinking water, two-way radios or cell phones, field guides and a camera also are good items to bring.

Organizers also are in need of old pillowcases and gallonSee STUDY | Page A4

Quote of the day Vol. 116, No. 230

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (AP) — Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback again defended his massive tax cuts Friday while Democratic rival Paul Davis promised during their second gubernatorial debate to make restoring cuts to education his top priority if elected.

The 250 business leaders in Overland Park who came to the luncheon forum were far more subdued than the raucous crowd during the candidates’ first debate earlier this month at the Kansas State Fair. Libertarian candidate Keen Umbehr also took part in Friday’s debate.

The incumbent and Davis are locked in a close race amid criticism over massive tax cuts that Brown-

back championed and cuts to classroom spending. Both front-runners played heavily to their audience in Johnson County, a place known for a strong economy and good public schools.

Brownback contended that eliminating taxes for small businesses will create jobs, and as the economy grows, the state will have more tax revenues — and more money for schools.

“We have a vibrant economy moving forward and most of that is here in Johnson County,” the governor said.

But Davis pointed out Brownback’s tax cuts that took effect in January will leave Kansas with a projectSee DEBATE | Page A4

RCIA classes at St. John’s Parish

The parish at St. John’s is in the process of developing a RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) program to establish a means of instruction for any who would be interested in knowing about the Catholic religion. Although the name looks a little scary, it is not. The very basic idea of passing on the faith is something one does naturally. This program is more about sharing and storytelling to convey why one is a Catholic. It is not a heavy dose of Theological, Dogmatic or doctrinal instruction at all. The personal reasons and experiences of faith sharing are more to the point of this process.

Of course there will be the basic information of what Catholics believe; i.e., prayer, the Mass, etc., more like why we do the things we do. Answers to questions about the Catechism will be given by Fr. John Miller and Deacon Ted Stahl. The format will be very simple and social in nature in order that those seeking to inquire about “What it means to be Catholic” can find Christ among our gathering and sharing. The classes will begin on Monday, Sept. 22nd at 6:30 p.m. in St. John’s Parish Office building directly to the south of the church. To register for the classes, please call the parish office at 620-365-2277.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Everyday Kansans good role model for elected officials In a state as solidly Republican as Kansas, it’s not unusual to have no Democratic opposition.

Once Rep. Kent Thompson secured the 9th District Republican primary nomination, it also garnered him a win in the general election precisely because he faces no further opposition.

That’s not a good thing, but until now, state officials have not mandated candidates face opposition in the general election.

But Thursday’s ruling by the Kansas Supreme Court that Democrat nominee Chad Taylor could withdraw from the U.S. Senate race, prompted Secretary of State Kris Kobach to insist the Democratic Party field another candidate in Taylor’s place.

No matter that incumbent Pat Roberts has an opponent in Greg Orman, who has filed as an independent.

It would be fabulous if more candidates from more political persuasions ran for office in Kansas. We are the land of politically bland: conservative and ultra-conservative Republicans. In the 2012, the ultra-conservatives defeated more than a dozen moderate incumbents in state House and Senate elections further tilting decisions to favor big business and the privatization of Medicaid, with Medicare now on the horizon.

Today, Republicans hold a super-majority in both the Kansas House of Representatives and Senate, both U.S. Senate seats, and all four U.S. House seats.

Only 25 percent of Kansas voters are registered Democrats, yet, perhaps tellingly in the race against Roberts, a full 30 percent of Kansans claim no party affiliation.

The Republican advantage speaks volumes in terms of fundraising.

So far, slightly more than $10.5 million has been raised this election cycle.

Of that, no quite $2 million will go to the campaigns of Democrats. More than 75 percent of all campaign donations go to the campaigns of Kansas Republicans.

At this point, it’s too soon to tell how much of that money will translate at the ballot box.

In finance reports on 9th District Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins for the 2012 election, only 2 percent of her almost $2 million campaign donations came from small donations. The majority came from Political Action Groups, including those representing Koch Industries, ExxonMobile, Honeywell, and multiple accounting, banking, and insurance firms.

Jenkins, no doubt, has just as big a campaign chest this time around against Democrat Margie Wakefield, but whether that represents voter support has yet to be determined.

IN TRUTH, Kansans are not well represented by their elected officials. And perhaps those of us in rural communities know that better than our city counterparts. In small towns we have learned we must all come together to effect change and that divisiveness is our doom. We have learned to sacrifice our egos; that our word means something, and that our allegiance is to God and country, only, and not some special interest.

We are to blame for the state of Kansas politics.

Fortunately, a democracy is a forgiving beast. We should let it out of the cage.

— Susan Lynn

Stumbling NFL needs a more code The NFL reigns supreme as the national cathedral of virility and masculinity. So perhaps it’s only fitting that it’s also become the conduit for a national discussion about domestic violence.

It’s a conversation we need to have, one that should not be obscured by the NFL’s stunning ineptitude in dealing with the off-the-field transgressions of its players. And it’s a conversation that’s happening as the country grapples with similar issues of harassment and sexual violence against women in the military and on college campuses.

These are tough issues that no longer can be ignored.

For its inability to confront squarely the issue of domestic violence among its players, the NFL is getting blitzed from all sides — starting with a social media campaign it can’t control, a startling development for a league so adept at controlling information, access and its image. Politicians quickly tapped into populist anger and, perhaps most important to the NFL, corporations that sponsor the most successful sports enterprise in the country’s history are speaking out.

Anheuser-Busch, whose $1.2-billion deal makes it one of the NFL’s biggest sponsors, blasted the league’s handling of “behaviors that so clearly go against our own company culture and moral code.” You know you’re in trouble when you get lectured on morality by a beer company.

PepsiCo, Visa, McDonald’s and Campbell’s Soup also criticized the NFL, and the Radisson hotel chain pulled its sponsorship of the Minnesota Vikings, whose star running back, Adrian Peterson, has been charged with beating his 4-year-old son with a tree branch. This follows the shameful Ray Rice case, in which the former Baltimore Ravens running back was captured on video knocking his then-fiancee unconscious in an Atlantic City hotel elevator.

The NFL — and its teams — deserve the criticism. Peterson was suspended for last weekend’s game, then cleared to play on Sunday, then suspended again Wednesday as public furor grew. Rice initially was suspended two games, a punishment NFL commissioner Roger Goodell later admitted he got wrong, then was suspended indefinitely after

Three Kansas incumbents have uphill climb Who woudda thunk it? In deep-red Kansas, we’ve got three red-hot statewide races, featuring three nationally prominent Republicans, Sam Brownback, Pat Roberts, and Kris Kobach.

This oddity has sent reporters scurrying here from New York, DC, LA, and even London. No question, it’s bigger than the world’s largest ball of twine.

Overall, the national reporting hasn’t been that bad, but there is a kind of sameness: how did such competition break out in Kansas, of all places, home to GOP dominance over 50 years of presidential elections and 80 years of U.S. Senate contests?

Not all, but many of these reporters want to craft a national story about Kansas in 2014, with implications for the entire country. Maybe there are some, but, 45 days from the election, these races are mostly about holding office-holders accountable.

Arguably, these three Kansas incumbents have overreached, and elections are society’s most powerful way of rendering verdicts on public officials. But their performances are not all of a piece; indeed, Kansas voters must contend with three distinct red-state records.

First, and most obviously, Governor Sam Brownback has established clear baselines

Burdett Loomis Kansas Insight for judging his performance on economic growth, job creation, educational achievements, and levels of poverty, among other issues. By and large, the judgments here have been harsh, even as he and his allies argue that his selfproclaimed Kansas economic “experiment” is succeeding.

Plunging tax revenues and a series of bond downgrades do not inspire confidence, nor do most objective analyses of the Kansas economy.

It may not be fair to hold a governor responsible for the state’s economy, given the great impact of national conditions, but more than any chief executive in memory, Sam Brownback has asked to be judged on his economic record.

Lesson: Be careful what you wish for.

Judging Senator Pat Roberts’ accountability is far different. Senators do compile long voting histories, of course, but these records are far less concrete than those of governors. A senator can end

up on many sides of the same policy, as Senator Roberts has on two critical issues for Kansans: funding for the recent farm bill and for the National Bio-and Agro-Defense Facility (NBAF). Moreover, Senators can vote for policies they know will never pass or introduce legislation that will be dead on arrival, claiming credit for their actions all the while.

disparaged a few weeks ago.

This is no mean feat.

Finally, there’s the fascinating case of Kris Kobach, who must be kicking himself for not opposing the unexpectedly weak Roberts in the GOP senate primary.

The genuinely funny Pat Roberts of the 1980s and 1990s, with his biting, contextual humor, has been replaced by a grumpy old man.

So, in the end, the senator’s record does not define his accountability. Rather, it’s Roberts himself, who — fairly or not — is increasingly seen as detached and out of touch.

The genuinely funny Pat Roberts of the 1980s and 1990s, with his biting, contextual humor, has been replaced by a grumpy old man. The former Roberts could have dispatched a Greg Orman with a few strokes of his stiletto wit. The current version grumbles and keeps yelling “Harry Reid.”

side it, Kobach has come to resemble the anti-abortion zealot Phill Kline, ousted in 2006 after a single term as attorney general. Kobach’s intense politicization of an essentially non-political office prompted more than a third of GOP primary voters to reject his bid for re-nomination. And virtually none of those will support him in November.

There is no single “Kansas” story this fall. Rather, voters in this certifiably red state will decide whether these three Republican incumbents have over-reached to the point that they should be defeated.

Maybe, after all, there is a trend. It’s called democracy.

the video surfaced and went viral.

The NFL needs to call an audible and start doing the right thing from the get-go, not react to forces buffeting it. And we wish critics also would condemn the occasional onfield hyperviolence glorified by the league and our culture — behavior that leads to brain damage for 30 percent of players.

It’s ironic that the NFL has been trying to lure more women into its fan base, a desire motivated by the marketing and advertising possibilities.

A spread in Vogue enticed women to get into the game, and CoverGirl signed on as the league’s “official beauty partner.” The company launched a series of ads featuring a young woman in makeup coordinated with various team colors — a message promptly hijacked when altered images of the woman with a black eye took off on Twitter.

Mission accomplished, NFL. You’ve certainly got more attention from women.

Now you need to send a strong and consistent message to women and men that the NFL has a moral code, too. ­— Newsday

Letter to the editor Dear editor,

Since I will not be able to attend the Iola City Council meeting, nor the Jefferson Elementary meeting, I would like to pose the following questions to be answered and/ or explained. The proposed site for the new schools is currently out of city limits, therefore, the acreage will have to be annexed. If so, what would the extra costs amount to in terms of real estate taxes? If annexed, would the City Of Iola be obliged to hire extra personnel in its various departments to serve the extended city limits?

What would the costs be to extend utility services, water, gas, electricity, sewers, storm water to the annexed area? And, finally, knowing the limitations of the sewer lifting stations in that area as demonstrated in the recent annexation proposal would there be extra expenses assessed on taxpayers for such an upgrade? Thank you.

Bicycles a perk at Pittsburg State

Crews make progress on wildfire SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Cooler, wet weather helped firefighters make progress on a huge Northern California wildfire that destroyed nearly three-dozen structures, forced the evacuation of more than 2,000 people and forced the cancellation of a sporting event because of the smoke.

More than 5,000 firefighters — from as far as Florida and Alaska — managed to increase containment of the fire from 10 to 17 percent on Sunday, said Capt.

Tom Piranio, a state fire spokesman. The number of acres burned held steady at 128 square miles.

“The heavy drizzle helped the firefighters immensely. We got what we were looking for to gain containment of the fire,” he said.

But earlier in the day, poor air quality forced a last-minute cancellation of two popular Ironman events in nearby Lake Tahoe, disappointing about 3,000 athletes who had signed up for the competition, Ironman operations manager Keats McGonigal said.

“County air quality officials have recommended that the event be cancelled,” said a state-

PITTSBURG, Kan. (AP) — As pastor for international students of Pittsburg State University’s Campus Christians, Don Smith’s vocation is serving the spiritual needs of the organization’s members. But he performs another service that’s in high demand with students of every creed, or none at all — repairing bicycles and loaning them out for the school year.

For decades, Smith has made it a mission to provide serviceable bikes to as many students as possible. It’s a task that has become more daunting as enrollment has grown at the southeast Kansas campus.

The 2014 fall semester began more than five weeks ago with Smith facing a shortage of bikes for the first time. He’s been scrambling to whittle down a waiting list that at one point had 75 names, The Morning Sun newspaper reported.

“Just a few more days now,” Smith reassured student Teja Kurapati on Thursday.

A school bus burned in the recent King fire near Icehouse in El Dorado County, Calif., on Friday. SACRAMENTO BEE/MCT/RANDALL BENTON ment announced to participants.

“I had tears too, and then my husband came, and comforted me,” Sabine Bokslopper told KTVU, as she unpacked her gear bags in Oakland Sunday evening.

Bokslopper was one of eight members of the Tri-Valley Triathlon Club, trained and ready for the 140 mile endurance race: swimming, cycling, and running. “I was hoping to finish in 16 hours,” she added.

The wildfire about 60 miles east of Sacramento started Sept. 13,

threatening more 21,000 structures.

According to preliminary figures released Sunday, the fire destroyed 10 homes and 22 outbuildings in the White Meadows area of Pollock Pines.

Piranio said assessment teams were headed back in the rugged, steep terrain to survey more damage.

“It has been very challenging to get access to those burn areas because there’s a lot of inaccessible terrain,” he said. “We had to make sure it was safe enough to enter.”

About 100 evacuees have been allowed to return home, but some 2,700 remain under evacuation orders, state fire spokesman Daniel Berlant said. The fire also continues to threaten a key University of California, Berkeley research station that is home to scores of experiments on trees, plants and other wildlife.

A man charged with starting the fire, Wayne Allen Huntsman, 37, pleaded not guilty to arson Friday and remains in the El Dorado County jail on $10 million bail.

“Probably Monday.”

Students borrow the bikes for a $35 fee, refundable when they’re returned in working condition. About 25 percent of them never come back, Smith said; some are stolen or lost, and some are only good for parts when students are done with them.

CAMPUS Christians rely on bicycle donations to keep the program going, although Smith will sometimes purchase bikes for the right price. The university’s Student Government Association has also bought some bikes for the program in the past and may also help with another key need: finding bikes that are lost.

The association had suggested painting the bicycles in Pittsburg State’s colors of crimson and gold. But Smith said that would require having a paint shop disassemble an average bicycle.

Also, the relatively unique coloring might prompt more of what’s been a constant problem: theft.

GOP’s Roberts heads to swing-voting east Kansas LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Sen. Pat Roberts of Kansas took his conservative re-election message into the state’s swing-voting east Saturday in his latest effort chip away any advantage from independent candidate Greg Orman in a U.S. Senate race that has unexpectedly become one of the most hotly contested in the nation.

Roberts strolled the grassy hill to the south of Memorial Stadium before

the University of Kansas football game, popping in and out of pregame party tents and chatting with voters in the Democraticleaning city.

His message was distinctly partisan. With less than six weeks to go and facing a political newcomer who has tried to cast himself as non-partisan, Roberts stuck to his argument that the election is a referendum on President Barack Obama and the Democratic-con-

trolled Senate.

“That really is the issue: whether (Senate Majority Leader) Harry Reid continues to be a one-man rules committee in the Senate,” Roberts told The Associated Press. “They also know Orman is a liberal Democrat and a vote for Harry Reid. That really is the issue.”

Republicans need a net gain of six seats to take the Senate majority from Democrats, and Kansas is one of about a dozen rac-

Wolf Creek: Closing costs Continued from A1

Part of the reason for the increase is that the plant, which cost $3 billion to construct, has added buildings in past three years that would have to be removed with the plant, said Terry Young, a spokesman for the operating company.

Other drivers of high-

er estimates include increased rates for disposal of nonfuel radioactive waste, program management and security costs.

The nuclear industry also has acquired better data, based on the actual costs of decommissioning older plants around the country, Young said.

Despite the projected cost increases, Westar

es nationally that could determine the outcome.

Until just this month, Roberts, a 78-year-old conservative from GOPheavy western Kansas, was not viewed as vulnerable. Republicans have held every Senate seat in Kansas since 1938. But Democratic nominee Chad Taylor, under pressure from national Democrats, announced Sept. 3 that he would drop out of the race. The move was viewed as an effort to im-

prove the odds of Orman, a 45-year-old wealthy businessman from the populous Kansas City suburbs, beating Roberts.

Secretary of State Kris Kobach, a Republican and strong Roberts supporter, had refused to remove Taylor’s name from the ballot, saying the Democrat’s didn’t comply with a law limiting withdrawals. But the state Supreme Court ruled Thursday that he did.

Davis said the state needs to have a bipartisan budget effort that restores money to schools.

The Kansas Supreme Court this year ordered the state to increase funding to poorer districts.

“Educational excellence is one of the single most important reasons companies have selected Johnson County as their place of business,” Davis said.

Davis repeatedly assailed the “trickle-down economics” of the tax cuts, which budget experts have said favor the wealthy, and noted that leading economic indicators show Kansas is lagging behind neighboring states.

“We need to use proven ways to grow our economy,” Davis said, though he didn’t offer specifics. “We have done it before and we can absolutely do it again.”

UMBEHR also questioned the fairness of a tax policy that allows 191,000 Kansas businesses to pay no state income tax, while wage earners carry the burden. He said the expectation that these businesses would simply hire employees for no particular reason is wrong, and that cutting taxes for 1.4 million people would be an “economic engine.”

When asked about expanding Medicare under the health care reform law, Brownback said it would cost $1 billion to implement and that Kansas cannot afford a program that is not work-

that he would begin sending out overseas ballots without a Democrat listed, effectively making the contest a two-person race, though Kobach said he’s not abandoning efforts to get Democrats to name a replacement. Another candidate, libertarian Randall Batson, is also running.

Recent opinion polls have suggested Roberts may be vulnerable in a head-to-head race with Orman.

ing.

Davis, who has supported Medicaid expansion, conceded the health care reform law has a lot of problems and also criticized the existing Kansas program — KanCare — for cutting back on needed medical services.

He opposed the state’s move to join a compact with other Republican states that aims to control Medicare funding in their states.

“The 450,000 Kansas seniors that are on Medicare don’t need state of Kansas to take over their Medicare,” Davis said.

Republicans enjoy a nearly 20 percentagepoint advantage among the state’s 1.74 million voters, but disagreements between Republicans have cost the party five of the last 10 governor’s races.

Humboldt places fourth in home volleyball tourney

By SPENCER MICHELSON The Iola Register

HUMBOLDT — Humboldt High’s varsity volleyball team placed fourth in its home tournament Saturday.

The Lady Cubs started off with a two-set win against Altoona, winning 25-5 and 25-12.

The team had 23 aces. Brook Turner led the team with seven aces, followed by Breanna Kline and Delaney Umholtz who each had five. Megan Hudlin had four aces. Kline and Makaylah McCall had four kills, while Umholtz had three.

Annalise Whitcomb had 12 assists. Tiler Wills had an ace, kill and an assist.

Humboldt then beat Marais Des Cygne Valley 25-11 and 2514. Turner had five aces and a kill. Wells had four aces and an assist. Kline had seven kills and an assist. McCall had four kills, while Umholtz had three.

Whitcomb had 11 assists. Hudlin had an ace.

Humboldt won its third match in a row, beating Yates Center 25-12 and 25-16. Kline had five kills, three aces and an assist. McCall had seven kills to lead the Lady Cubs. Turner had two kills. Umholtz had four kills and two aces. Wells had an ace. Whitcomb had 10 assists and a kill.

For the final match of pool play, Humboldt beat OlatheMetro 25-21 and 25-18. Kline led the team with nine kills.

Turner had three aces and two kills, while Umholtz had three aces and three kills. Wells had an ace and two kills. Whitcomb had 16 assists and an ace. McCall had a kill.

The Lady Cubs played a semifinal match against Waverly, but lost 25-9 and 25-22.

Houk had two kills and Kline had three kills. Umholtz had a single kill. Wells had two assists and Whitcomb had four.

Humboldt played in the third-place game in a rematch with Olathe-Metro. The Lady Cubs lost in three sets. After winning the first set 25-17, Humboldt dropped the next two 26-24 and 26-24. Kline had 13 kills and two aces. Umholtz and Turner each had an ace and two kills. Hudlin had three aces and a kill, while Wells had two aces and a kill. Whitcomb had 20 assists. Houk had a kill.

“We started the day strong and went undefeated in pool play,” coach Stephanie Splechter said. “The first match with Olathe-Metro was a good match and the girls stepped up.

“In the semi-finals against Waverly we were a little shell shocked by their power hitters, once we settled down we played a solid second set. In the third place match we did not play our best volleyball.

We were flat and missed too many serves.”

Waverly defeated St. Marys Colgan to win the tournament.

Iola’s JV volleyball splits at Burlington FORT SCOTT — Iola High’s junior varsity volleyball team competed in a tournament at Fort Scott Saturday, finishing the day 2-2.

25-10. Jadyn Sigg served for 22 points. In the first set she had eight consecutive points, including five aces.

“They played well today, a lot more enthusiasm than previously,” coach Emily Sigg said. “We changed the rotation up after the first match and they adjusted really well.”

ACC women draw with Hutchinson

By SPENCER MICHELSON The Iola Register

Resilience helped Allen Community College’s women’s soccer team tie 0-0 to Hutchinson Saturday afternoon.

“We did outshoot them, which is something we can hold our head up about for sure,” coach Jeremy McGinnis said. “The fact that we tied the number 20 team in the nation shows how far we've come. Last year, we lost to them 10-0. It's a huge improvement that we were able to play with them.”

Allen had 12 shots, to Hutchinson’s 9. At regulation, the teams were still tied 0-0 with the teams playing for

the golden goal — the first team to score wins. Through two extra 10-minute periods, the score remained tied.

Red Devil goalkeeper Jessica Pancoast came up with a few great saves during the golden goal overtime. At the beginning of the first extra period, Hutchinson got off a shot that would have passed under the top crossbar. Pancoast punched the ball out before it went in.

“She's big time. She's a technical goaltender and knew she can't get there,” McGinnis said. “That's why she parried it out. It's not even spinning, it's knuckling. So, I was very proud of what she did.”

It was Pancoast’s fourth

shutout of the season. McGinnis also gave credit to his center-midfielders for having to run back and forth between offense and defense the entire game.

Natalie Leiker, who plays left backfield, had tweaked her ankle, but was able to play through it. Patience Fleak who normally plays in the outside backfield, played centerback and had a good game.

“I'm very happy with my girls’ performance,” McGinnis said. “I know that they worked hard and they battled. I really loved their effort and what they did today.”

ACC (5-0-1) travels to Pratt for a match at 2 p.m. Tuesday.

Iola’s eighth grade volleyball takes second place BURLINGTON — Iola’s eighth grade A-Team took second place in Burlington’s volleyball tournament Saturday.

In the first match, Iola beat Chanute in three sets. Iola won the first set 25-20, dropped the second set 25-22 and won the tiebreaker 15-8.

“We were glad to have a rematch with Chanute. They beat us in three sets the last time we played,” coach Terri Carlin said. “We knew it would be a good match, and we were going to have to play strong.”

Mia Aronson had three aces, three assists and four kills. Piper Moore had four aces, two assists and four kills. Madisyn Holloway had three aces and one kill. Kendra Sprague had one ace, one assist and four kills. Shaylee Sutterby had one kill. Paige Burrough had an assist and a kill.

Iola then lost to Burlington, 25-13 and 25-19.

“Burlington is a pretty strong team. They had several tall girls who could really hit the ball,” Carlin said. “We just couldn't quite pass some of the hits in the first set. We were much better in the second set and played competitively. We can't make errors on

the easy plays when we play a good team.”

Carlin said that Kassy Shelby came off the bench and made good passes. Moore had three aces, two assists and a kill. Holloway had two aces.

Aronson had an ace and an assist. Suttterby had two kills.

Kendra Sprague had an ace and a kill.

In the third match, Iola defeated Prairie View 25-14 and 25-19.

“Prairie View had difficulty passing the ball,” Carlin said.

“We scored quite a few points off our tough serves. The majority of the points they scored were off our mistakes.”

Piper Moore had five aces, an assist and three kills.

Sprague had four aces and three kills. Aronson had one ace, three assists and a kill.

Burrough had two aces and a kill. Holloway and Sutterby each had an ace and a kill.

*Correction: Stacy Sprague was credited with Terri Carlin’s quotes in Thursday’s recap of Iola Middle Schools eighth grade volleyball’s match with Pittsburg. This was a mistake on my part.

Marmaton JV volleyball places second at Iola Marmaton Valley’s junior varsity volleyball team took second place at the Iola Invitational Saturday afternoon.

Marmaton won the first match against host Iola 25-23 and 25-18. The Wildcats then defeated Frontenac 25-16 and

25-14. Marmaton split with Central Heights 25-20 and 2325. The Wildcats beat Southeast in the semifinal match 25-17 and 25-14, but lost to champion Paola 25-23 and 25-9.

PSU to offer new nursing program PITTSBURG, Kan. (AP) — Pittsburg State University has won approval to start offering a doctorate degree in nursing.

The Joplin Globe reports that Irene Ransom Bradley School of Nursing asked the Kansas Board of Regents to transition the current master’s level advanced practice nursing program into the doctoral program. The Regents agreed last week.

The school hopes to admit its first students into the program in the spring for a summer 2015 start date.

University officials say the demand for doctoral level advanced practice nurses is expected to increase both in the region and across the nation. They cited a recommendation from the Institute of Medicine that the field of nursing provide twice as many doctoral graduates by 2020 in order to build a primary care work force in the U.S.

Juvenile lockup boosts portion size TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Shawnee County has started feeding its juvenile inmates more after finding that behavior improves when portion sizes increase.

As a test, the Shawnee County Juvenile Detention Center began in July to double the size of the meals it serves to the 10- to 17-year-olds incarcerated there. The experiment also involved replacing the sugary snack that had been provided each evening with fresh fruit, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported.

“We wanted to see if that would make a difference,” said county corrections department spokesman Maj. Tim Phelps, adding that staff members saw a noticeable improvement in the behavior and educational program performance of youths.

Phelps said the moves are among steps the corrections department is implementing to try to “take some of the bite” out of confinement through its involvement in a program targeted at reducing the negative effects of detention on youths and helping them avoid becoming hardened criminals.

The Annie E. Casey Foundation, a private charitable organization that is behind the Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative, accepted the state of Kansas as program site in 2011.

Green nail syndrome requires treatment Dr. Keith Roach

Dear Dr. Roach: For the past four months, I have had an infection around the cuticle of my right index finger. There is green coloration under the nail near the cuticle, and the nail grew rather deformed. I am a gardener and a homemaker, so I tend to wash my hands often. The urgent-care doctor I saw prescribed clindamycin and mupirocin cream.

I also was told to soak my finger twice a day.

My family doctor took a culture and, because she did not know if I had a fungus or an infection, prescribed Lamisil and levofloxacin. She also recommended saltwater or peroxide soaks twice daily. The culture showed pseudomonas as the cause of the infection.

With no improvement,

To Your Good Health I saw an orthopedic doctor. He told me to continue the soaking and the mupirocin cream.

On my second visit, he lanced the area between the cuticle and the nail bed. There was improvement, but the symptoms soon return.

The orthopedic doctor spoke of removing the nail as a possible solution to clearing up the infection. Is this my next step, or is there something else I can do?

— P.B. Answer: It sounds as though you have the aptly named “green nail syndrome,” which is caused by the bacteria

you mention, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and which often is complicated by a paronychia, an infection along the side of the nail. Your orthopedic surgeon is quite right that sometimes the nail needs to be removed; however, many people can avoid that unpleasant procedure (I had to perform it once) with ciprofloxacin (the best oral antibiotic against pseudomonas), antiseptic soaks and by keeping the hands meticulously dry, using gloves and even using a hairdryer to dry the nails after soaking or cleaning.

Dear Dr. Roach: I am a 67-year-old male who has had mild to moderate psoriasis for the past seven years or so. I have been avoiding the very effective biological drugs because of the

scary possible side effects. Instead, I use antiitch topical creams and lotions, some with cortisone.

In researching the topic, I ran across a treatment called Fumaderm that is available in Germany, but I have never heard of it being used in the U.S. — C.S. Answer: Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin condition that can range from annoying to lifethreatening in severity.

Psoriasis and its common complication, psoriatic arthritis, together are a highly destructive arthritis that often requires powerful treatment: biologic agents, like adalimumab (Humira) or etanercept (Enbrel). These do have the possibility of serious side effects, such as reactivation of tuberculosis.

Chiefs beat Dolphins 35-14 behind Smith’s 3 TD passes

By TIM REYNOLDS AP Sports Writer

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Alex Smith fumbled the ball away three plays into the second half, then watched the Miami Dolphins turn that mistake into a touchdown.

He more than atoned for it, and the Kansas City Chiefs are winless no more.

Smith threw three touchdown passes, including one to running back Joe McKnight — who impacted a game for the first time since 2012 — midway through the third quarter to help snuff out a Miami rally, and the Chiefs topped the Dolphins 34-15 on Sunday.

McKnight had two touchdown catches for the Chiefs, who were outscored 50-27 in the season’s first two games.

“Momentum’s a funny thing,” Smith said. “It’s hard to put your finger on it, but certainly, this helps. This is what you’re looking for, a win on the road, a tough win, I thought. I’m not sure what it is, but this is how you get started, for sure.”

The Chiefs (1-2) were a minus-two in the turnover department, allowed Miami’s Lamar Miller to rush for a career-best 108 yards, saw Smith get sacked five times — and still won, on the road, by 19 points.

That’s how things are going right now for the Dolphins (1-2). They scored 23 points in the second half of Week 1 against New England — and have scored 25 points in the two full games that have followed.

“A hold here, a drop there, they are things that we are doing to ourselves that make things more difficult,” Dolphins wide receiver Brian Hartline said. “But if you’re playing the odds, eventually you can’t overcome them all. So it gets tiresome and it kind of wears on you.”

Knile Davis rushed for

132 yards and a touchdown for Kansas City.

Here’s some things of note from the Chiefs’ win: TANNEHILL’S STRUGGLES: Even af-

ter Miami opened with a win against New England, the Dolphins said they knew the passing game had to get better. It hasn’t. Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill struggled for the third game in a row, this time against a pass defense ranked as the worst in the NFL. He went 21 for 43 for 205 yards.

DAVIS’ WORKLOAD:

Jamaal Charles is still out for Kansas City, but the running back corps delivered nonetheless.

Davis got 32 carries for the Chiefs, his biggest workload since at least high school. Davis never got more than 30 carries in college — he had 30 on consecutive weeks for Arkansas in 2010 — and his NFL high before Sunday was a 27-carry day last season against San Diego. “We’ve got a good group,” Smith said.

“I think there was a reason we kept so many of them. I think you can see that now. They all have something to offer. “

M C K N I G H T ’ S McKnight CATCHES:

tied a career-best with six catches, set a new career mark with 64 receiving yards and hauled in the first two TD grabs of his career. Before Sunday, McKnight’s last catch was Nov. 18, 2012.

He missed the 2013 season after being cut by the New York Jets, and hadn’t recorded any stats this season coming into Week 3.

SUNSHINE STATE BLUES: Good thing for

Florida State, or else the state of Florida would have had one doozy of a football weekend. Miami and Florida — along with the Seminoles, the other parts of the state’s “Big 3” in the college ranks — both lost on Saturday, and No. 1 Florida State needed overtime to beat Clemson.

“We had a great day of volleyball,” Jamie Stodgell said.

“I’m proud of each girl and what they brought to the court today.”

Shayla Brooks had 33 points, Tanna Lutz and Clara Boyd had 28

points, MaKayla Brooks had 24 points, Trinitee Gutierrez had 12 points and Emily Plashka had 12 points.

MaKayla Brooks had 16 kills, Boyd had 14 kills, Shayla Brooks had 13 kills and Magie Stevenson had nine kills.

ALLEN INVITE ACC volleyball hosted its tournament Friday and Saturday. Allen finished 1-3.

Allen lost to Labette in five sets 24-26, 25-18, 24-26, 25-17 and 13-15 on Friday.

In the team’s next match, they lost to Southeast 25-21, 25-16 and 25-22. On Saturday, ACC lost to NEO 26-24, 25-12 and 25-22. For the final match, the Red Devils beat Dodge 21-25, 16-25, 25-17, 25-23 and 15-10. Above, Andonae Magdziarz goes for a kill against NEO. REGISTER/SPENCER MICHELSON

Royals avoid sweep KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Nori Aoki hit a two-run triple, helping Jeremy Guthrie and the Royals increase their lead in the AL wild-card race.

The Royals avoided a three-game sweep and moved within 1

1/2 games of the AL Central-leading Tigers.

Kansas City also opened a 1 1/2-game edge over Seattle for the second wild-card spot.

Aoki's tiebreaking triple in the fourth scored Omar Infante and Mike Moustakas,

making it 4-2 and chasing Rick Porcello from the game.

Porcello (15-12) is 0-4 in his past five starts.
