Hulls weather hurricane in Mexico

By SUSAN LYNN The Iola Register

T

he Michael and Mary Hull family arrived safely in Iola Saturday after surviving the harrowing ordeal of Hurricane Odile on Sept. 14, in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

The Category 3 storm packed winds up to 125 mph.

Twenty-five foot waves surged against the coastline, destroying popular resorts and businesses.

“It looks like a war zone,” Michael Hull said of the popular tourist resort on the most southern tip of Baja.

Michael and Mary huddled with their three sons, Maddox, 4, Mason, 3, and Micah, 20 months, in a back bathroom, as they heard the glass in windows and sliding doors explode from the giant storm bearing down, followed by torrents of rain pouring into their condominium.

The hurricane is the worst to hit the Baja Peninsula in recorded history.

The first half of the storm lasted about three hours, Michael said, followed by an ee-

“Our ears were popping like

crazy,” Michael said, due to the plummeting barometric pressure.

“And the noise. It was horrific,” he said of the howling winds.

When it was all over, little remained.

Nothing could withstand the immense winds and powerful rains.

The light at the end of the EMS negotiations tunnel is shining brighter than ever.

Iola City Council members endorsed Monday language of an amended emergency medical services contract with Allen County.

Council members voted, 7-1, to approve the contract’s language, which increases the county’s subsidy to the city by $250,000 annually, to $1 million per year.

The contract now goes back to the Allen County Commission for its approval.

Bowlus could be beacon for internet The Bowlus could be the next hot spot.

Susan Raines, director of the Bowlus Fine Arts Center, presented a proposal to trustees made by David Lee, of New Wave Broadband and LaHarpe Telephone, to place a tower on top of the Bowlus.

Raines said the tower will be 12 to 20 feet tall and there would be no drilling into the roof. Why the Bowlus? It’s tall.

“We’re trying to get a line of sight from LaHarpe to the Bowlus,” Lee said.

Raines said Bowlus commissioners had many questions for the project but were in full support of the idea.

The equipment would use less than one amp of energy.

“I think it’s a futuristic look at what can be done at the Bowlus,” Raines said.

Corn coming in as a bumper harvest; beans next

By BOB JOHNSON The Iola Register

A recurring concern for farmers and area elevators is how to deal with a bumper corn harvest.

Most fields are yielding upward of 150 bushels an acre, said Kenny Smail, manager of Piqua Farmers Co-op.

With about 30,000 acres

planted to corn in Allen County, about 4.5 million bushels will have been harvested, not to mention that from neighboring counties.

Piqua’s silos Kenny Smail are full, forcing farmers to sell at least half

Quote of the day Vol. 116, No. 231

rather than put all in storage to wait out when prices may rise. By mid-winter or later, prices often increase.

If an elevator is too full it may have to shut down.

“Some (farmers) didn’t like that, but we didn’t have a choice,” Smail said of the forced sales.

Corn is being moved from Piqua elevators at the rate

of better than 20,000 bushels a day or about 20 to 25 semitrucks loaded with 920-950 bushels .

Chicken growers in eastern Oklahoma and Arkansas have been a destination for local corn for years, along with the ethanol plant in Garnett, but high yields have left those purchasers with ample corn.

Consequently, Smail said he

Corn grown in southwest Kansas almost exclusively comes from irrigated ground and the harvest there hasn’t started yet. That has led Smail, through a broker, to sell grain in the Ulysses and Garden See CORN | Page A4

U.S., Arab allies bombard ISIL strongholds

By LOLITA C. BALDOR and ROBERT BURNS The Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — Combined U.S.-Arab airstrikes hit Islamic State group military strongholds in Syria and Iraq as a simultaneous U.S. strike attacked an al-Qaida cell of hardened veterans with “significant explosives skills” said to be plotting attacks on the U.S. and Western interests, officials said.

The top American military official, Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, said the U.S. and its Arab allies achieved their aim of showing the extremists that their savage attacks will not go unanswered.

The U.S. and five Arab nations attacked the Islamic State group’s headquarters in eastern Syria in nighttime raids Monday using land- and sea-based U.S. aircraft as well as Tomahawk cruise missiles launched from two Navy ships in the Red Sea and the northern Persian Gulf.

American warplanes also carried out eight airstrikes to disrupt what the military described as “imminent attack plotting against the United States and Western interests” by the shadowy Khorosan Group, a network of alQaida veterans working with the Yemeni branch of al-Qaida, known as Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, to get foreign fighters with Western passports and explosives to target U.S. aviation.

The White House said President Barack Obama would speak about the airstrikes before flying to New York this morning for the United Nations General Assembly meeting.

U.S. officials said five Arab nations either participated in the airstrikes or provided unspecified support. They were Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates. Dempsey said their role was indispensable to the U.S. goal of showing that the battle to degrade and defeat the Islamic State group is not just a U.S. fight.

Dempsey called the strikes an unprecedented coalition with Arab states and said the partnering has set the stage for a broader international campaign against the extremists.

“We wanted to make sure that ISIL knew they have no safe haven, and we certainly achieved that,” Dempsey told reporters as he flew to Washington after a weeklong trip to Europe.

We wanted to make sure that ISIL knew they have no safe haven, and we certainly achieved that.

— Gen. Martin Dempsey, Joint Chiefs chairman

ISIL is an alternate acronym for the Islamic State group whose fighters swept across much of Iraq this summer.

Dempsey said the five Arab nations’ agreement to join in the airstrikes came together quickly.

“Once we had one of them on board, the others followed quickly thereafter,” he said, adding that the partnership came together over the past three days. “We now have a kind of credible campaign against ISIL that includes a coalition of partners.”

Several hours after the Pentagon announced the airstrikes against Islamic State targets, U.S. Central Command said American warplanes also launched eight airstrikes “to disrupt the imminent attack plotting against the United States and Western interests” by a network of al-Qaida veterans — sometimes known as the Khorasan Group — who have established a haven in Syria. It provided no details on the plotting.

Dempsey said the decision to launch both operations simultaneously was influenced by a concern that word of strikes in eastern Syria could prompt the al-Qaida veterans to disperse. The Khorasan Group “may have scattered” if the attack missions had been done sequentially rather than simultaneously, he said.

Central Command said the bombing mission against that group was undertaken solely

by U.S. aircraft and took place west of the Syrian city of Aleppo. It said targets included training camps, an explosives and munitions production facility, a communication building and command and control

facilities.

The airstrikes against Islamic State targets were carried out in the city of Raqqa and other areas in eastern Syria.

The strikes were part of the expanded military campaign that Obama authorized nearly two weeks ago in order to disrupt and destroy the Islamic State militants, who have slaughtered thousands of people, beheaded Westerners — including two American journalists — and captured large swaths of Syria and northern and western Iraq.

The airstrikes began around 7:30 p.m. CDT. Central Command said the U.S. fired 47 Tomahawk cruise missiles from aboard the USS Arleigh Burke and USS Philippine Sea, operating from international waters in the Red Sea and the northern Persian Gulf. U.S. Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps fighter jets, drones and bombers also participated.

Syria’s Foreign Ministry said the U.S. informed Syria’s envoy to the U.N. that “strikes will be launched against the terrorist Daesh group in Raqqa.” The statement used an Arabic name to refer to the Islamic State group.

Rear Admiral John Kirby, the Pentagon press secretary, said today the strikes weren’t coordinated with the regime of President Bashar Assad, but added: “There was no resistance, no interaction with Syrian air forces or military defenses” during the operation.

Russia’s foreign ministry warned today that what it called “unilateral” air strikes would destabilize the region.

“The fight against ter-

rorists in the Middle East and northern Africa requires coordinated efforts of the entire global community under the auspices of the U.N.,” the foreign ministry said in a statement.

Activists said the airstrikes hit targets in and around the Syrian city of Raqqa and the province with the same name. Raqqa is the Islamic State group’s self-declared capital in Syria.

Rami Abdurrahman, who heads the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, told The Associated Press, “There is confirmed information that there are casualties among Islamic State group members.”

Dempsey said Arab participation needs to extend beyond direct military roles to assisting in an international effort to undercut finances, recruiting and ideological support for the Islamic State group.

“What we’re talking about now is the beginning of an air campaign,” he said, adding that it must lead to what he called “the other air campaign” — an effort to fill public airwaves across the Muslim world with arguments for why the extremists must be defeated.

Arab allies promised they would “do their share” to fight the Islamic State militants. The Obama administration, which at a NATO meeting in Wales earlier this month also got commitments from European allies as well as Canada and Australia, has insisted that the fight against the Islamic State militants could not be the United States’ fight alone.

In a speech Sept. 10, Obama vowed to go after the Islamic State militants wherever they may be. His military and defense leaders told Congress last week that airstrikes within Syria are meant to disrupt the group’s momentum and provide time for the U.S. and allies to train and equip moderate Syrian rebels.

The U.S. military has been launching targeted airstrikes in Iraq since August, focusing specifically on attacks to protect U.S. interests and personnel, assist Iraqi refugees and secure critical infrastructure. Last week, as part of the newly expanded campaign, the U.S. began going after militant targets across Iraq, including enemy fighters, outposts, equipment and weapons.

To date, U.S. fighter aircraft, bombers and drones have launched about 190 airstrikes within Iraq.

Rodeo dreams remain for HHS senior

By HAILEY DIXON Humboldt Correspondent

HUMBOLDT — When she’s not shooting baskets at the basketball court or socializing with her friends and boyfriend, Humboldt High School senior Lakota Wilson can be found in her practice pen preparing for her various rodeo events with her horses.

Wilson is involved in many different facets in rodeo.

She started learning how to barrel race when she was only 3. She participated in several local shodeos throughout the area of southeast Kansas. At 8, she traveled to Jackson, Miss., to compete in the Youth Worlds event. She placed 27th out of 1,200 other barrel racers.

The horse, The Good Outlaw, which led her to the impressive finish in Mississippi, had to be put down the day after Thanksgiving in 2008. “I didn’t let that tragedy affect my dreams,�

Wilson said.

Since the death of The Good Outlaw, she has trained and sold many horses. She is in the process of breaking in another horse, Eyes Cee Biscuit, for the event.

They have competed in local rodeos and NBHA rough stock events and will compete at the state finals for Kansas in the event Oct. 17-20.

Wilson also devotes time to the goat-tying event, but not without

She has face-planted or the horse has trampled her after her dismount during the goat tie. “Goat tying isn’t an easy event; it can be very dangerous,� Wilson said. “I have taken many trips to the hospital because of it.�

Wilson also is in possession of a pole horse named Thunder that she competes with of-

ten. “He is the horse that has taught me a lot riding-wise,� Wilson said. “Thunder is different from any horse that I have ever been on.�

Jock, her brother, had the opportunity to teach Wilson how to perform in the breakaway roping when she was 8, which ended up being her favorite and most beloved rodeo event.

Lightning is the horse she rides while doing the breakaway. Lightning happens to be just one month older than Wilson. Both are 17. “She is the horse that has taught me the most in life,� Wilson said.

Wilson’s fastest breakaway time is 2.2 seconds. “People don’t realize that rodeo is an actual sport just because it

doesn’t involve throwing a ball around,�

Wilson said. “It is still dangerous but it is something I love to do.�

Wilson also has a passion for basketball. She has played since she was in the third grade and has loved it ever since.

She looks to lead the Lady Cubs this upcoming season and hopes to gain another varsity letter this season; she has lettered every year she has been in high school. “I really like it, it is the only school sport that I get to play,� Wilson said. “But I have always chosen rodeo over basketball, rodeo is my biggest passion.�

During her high school career, Wilson has also been involved in track and FFA. She enjoys spending time with her friends and boyfriend or going on road trips when she is not working on rodeo activities. Wilson also rides horses for Dee Isle in her spare time as a part-time occupation in Chanute. She also built fences for Isle Fencing Company for her summer job.

After high school, Wilson plans on attending Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College with a rodeo scholarship, where she will continue her barrel racing, goat tying and breakaway events. She wants to study speech pathology. “Rodeo is something you can do more later on in life,� Wilson said. “I have been doing it since I was 3 years old and my life wouldn’t be complete without it. I can’t wait to see where it takes me in the future.�

AG seeks lawsuit dismissal TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt is seeking dismissal of a lawsuit by the state’s largest teachers’ union over a new law ending guaranteed tenure in public schools.

Schmidt filed his request Monday in Shawnee County District Court in response to the lawsuit filed in August by the Kansas National Education Association.

The attorney general contends the union has no standing to sue over the tenure law because it is not directly harmed.

Legislators folded the anti-tenure measure into a larger education funding measure. The KNEA lawsuit alleges the move violated a provision of the Kansas Constitution requiring most bills to contain only one subject.

Zombie awareness stressed TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansans are being encouraged to prepare for an invasion of the living dead, with Gov. Sam Brownback scheduled to sign a proclamation later this week declaring October Zombie Preparedness Month.

The state Division of Emergency Management says if residents are prepared for a zombie attack, they’re prepared for anything.

Deputy director Angee Morgan says the idea is to make people aware of the need to be ready for emergency situations like natural disasters, catastrophic storms, fires — even a swarm of zombies.

Brownback is slated to sign the proclamation at 11 a.m. Friday in his ceremonial office in the Statehouse.

Beef training coming soon The Beef Cattle Institute at Kansas State University and the Kansas Beef Council are partnering to host four advanced beef cattle care and health training sessions in October.

For Southeast Kansas, the sessions will be from 6 to 9 p.m., Oct. 7 in Fort Scott.

The sessions will provide beef producers and veterinarians with upto-date standards and technologies to improve animal welfare and food safety and will be led by the Institute’s Dan Thomson, DVM, Ph.D.; Chris Reinhardt, Ph.D.; and Dave Rethorst, DVM. Producers and veterinarians will receive Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) training and in-

formation relevant to the cow-calf, stocker and feedlot industry segments; animal husbandry best management practices; and downed animal care and humane euthanasia training. In addition, stockmanship principles and low-stress cattle-handling techniques will be studied. All producers and veterinarians who attend will earn BQA certification, valid for three years.

Each workshop is free and includes a complimentary meal. Pre-registration one week or more prior to the event is requested. You may pre-register by contacting the Beef Cattle Institute at 785-532-4844 or kjoliver@vet.ksu. edu. Walk-in attendees

are welcome but are not guaranteed a meal.

The Beef Cattle Institute, or BCI, was founded in 2007 to provide beef industry stakeholders with the most current education, research and outreach available in the beef industry. The BCI offers certificates and tools to aid producers in managing a successful beef business.

The Kansas Beef Council administers the $1-per-head Beef Checkoff in Kansas. Funds are used for research, educational activities and promotion of beef and beef products. Twentynine cattle producer volunteers from Kansas serve on the executive committee and direct how Checkoff funds are utilized.

Farming, after all, is their livelihood.

City areas where there are mammoth feedlots.

“The trucks carry corn out there and bring wheat back to Wichita,” he said.

THE CORN harvest is one of the best in years, leading market forces to push down the price.

Monday afternoon Piqua Co-op was paying $2.61 a bushel, about half as much as a year ago.

With huge harvests predicted in Illinois and Iowa, Smail said he was unsure what prices might do when that corn hits the market.

At today’s prices, the high yields sound rosy, but farmers know better.

Input costs at planting run at least $250 an acre, meaning 100-bushel corn would just break even on that phase of production. Farmers also have to look at harvest costs, as well

NO SOYBEANS had been carried to Piqua as of Monday, but Smail thinks some in the area will be cut by the end of the week.

Many farmers are pessimistic about the bean harvest. Rainfall skirted the area when it was most needed and hot weather came at an inopportune time.

“I don’t know what to expect,” said Smail.

Piqua Co-op has 1.2 million bushels of permanent storage, 200,000 bushels of which was kept in reserve for soybeans. Smail ex-

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.

However, the elevator has 187,000 bushels of corn stored in two tarped circles that Smail would like to move to permanent storage.

Storing corn on the ground isn’t preferred, but Smail pointed out corn was resting on packed lime and the tarps were drawn tight by aerators that kept moisture at a minimum and the grain from souring.

Allen County farmers plant about 60,000 acres of soybeans a year.

A decent harvest of 30 bushels an acre would generate about 1.8 million bushels.

Today, beans are fetching about $9 a bushel, several dollars less than in recent years.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Anderson best choice for insurance chief It’s almost becoming old hat; moderate Republicans endorsing Democrats for office.

Current Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger last week threw her support behind the campaign of Dennis Anderson, a Democrat running for Praeger’s office.

Praeger, a longtime Republican who has served as Insurance Commissioner for 12 years, said she endorses Anderson because he supports the expansion of Medicaid and is against Kansas joining a pact of states that want to take over federal health programs, including Medicare.

Kansas’ current efforts to privatize Medicaid should be enough evidence that assuming control of Medicare is a bad idea. About 450,000 Kansans receive Medicare. Gov. Brownback’s administration has proposed joining a compact of other states to request Medicare funds be put under each state’s control, as Kansas did with Medicaid.

When Brownback urged the privatization of Medicaid, he predicted it would save Kansas $1 billion over five years. Instead, it has lost $72.6 million in the first six months of 2014; on top of losing $110 million in 2013.

Clearly, some things are better left to the feds.

Anderson’s opponent, Republican Ken Selzer, is against the expansion of Medicaid. That alone has denied approximately 78,000

low-income Kansas residents from receiving health coverage. The expansion allows those earning up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level — an annual income of about $16,104 for an individual — to receive health insurance. Currently, the income limit for individual Kansans to receive Medicaid is 38 percent of the federal poverty level.

Even if Anderson is elected, it will be an uphill battle to reverse course. Last year, Kansas legislators voted to impose a permanent ban on expanding the program.

Those in favor of expanding Medicaid, including the Kansas Hospital Association and the Kansas Medical Society, are working fast and furious to get it back on the table.

Hospitals, especially, suffer from the lack of expansion. Hospitals are reimbursed by the federal government when they treat Medicare and Medicaid patients. The more enrolled in the program, the more hospitals will see in reimbursed costs.

Kansas is in the (slight) minority of states that have not expanded the federal program. To date, 27 states have expanded to allow more on the rolls.

ANDERSON is against privatizing Medicare and for the expansion of Medicaid; two very good reasons to cast your vote for the Democrat for Insurance Commissioner.

Change in General Fund Revenue April/May/June 2013 to April/May/June 2014

Individual Income Tax All Revenue

Kansas Down 42.9% Down 21.9%

National Average Down 7.1% Down 1.7%

KS out on the edge

By DUANE GOOSSEN

Remember how state revenue plummeted in April, May, and June? Well, we finally have information that compares the Kansas experience to that of other states.

No other state dropped as far as we did — yet more evidence that Kansas is out on its own at the very end of the spectrum.

The Rockefeller Institute of Government — the go-to source for information about state revenue collections — just issued numbers on what happened across states in the April-May-June quarter.

Kansas income tax collections came in 43 percent below the same period a year earlier.

We already knew that, but we did not know how Kansas compared to the rest of the nation.

The answer: Kansas had the steepest drop of all states in both individual income tax and in combined revenue.

Nationally, the average income tax decline was 7.1 percent. Income tax collections in most states went down somewhat, confirming that the timing of capital gains income likely played a small part in the Kansas decline.

However, given that the Kansas drop-off was comparatively so large, these new numbers clearly show that the Kansas decline had far more to do with tax policy changes.

The Kansas Department of Revenue wanted us to believe the drop in that period was all

about capital gains, when it simply was not. That should make reporters and everyone else very cautious about taking at face value what the Department says, particularly as reports about September revenue collections emerge.

The Department has political incentive to make the September numbers look as high as possible, and has been working to settle outstanding tax collection cases — so watch carefully for one-time receipts that are counted into the total.

ALSO: WATCH carefully what the state does with revenue transfers. Delaying scheduled transfers makes monthly revenue appear higher, but only temporarily.

Kansas revenue went down $688 million in fiscal year 2014 and it’s staying down at that level now during FY 2015.

More income tax rate reductions are scheduled to kick in all the way through 2018, further depressing receipts. Revenue no longer comes close to covering expenses.

The dramatic changes in Kansas tax policy have caused budget problems and service reductions, but so far the effect has been softened by spending down the state bank account to cover the difference between revenue and expense. The bank account will be gone within this fiscal year.

The most profound consequences of Gov. Brownback’s tax policy are still yet to come.

Letter to the editor Dear editor,

It is ironical, and sad, that the upcoming Friday and Saturday celebration (September 26 and 27) of the 50th anniversary of the Bowlus Fine Arts and Cultural Center will be occurring at the same time that the Center is looking into its own open grave.

The Iola Register of Sept.

3 reported the details of the public forum held by the Board of Education of USD 257 about the proposed bond issue to build new elementary and high schools. This proposal will be on the November 4 ballot. The Register reported as follows: “[Superintendent of Schools Jack] Koehn also spoke about the district’s plans for the Bowlus Fine Arts Center if the bond issue passes. The high school would utilize the Bowlus for career and technical programs, rather than fine arts classes.”

The beneficiaries of the “Fine Arts and Cultural Center” established by Tom Bowlus through his will are the local school children and the citizens of the Iola area.

Under the terms of Tom Bowlus’ will, the education of our local youth “… should include an appreciation of things artistic, musical and cultural, as well as things academic and scientific. It is to that end and for such purposes that I dedicate the aforedescribed premises.”

The Center was erected between 1962-1964 and was constructed to comply with the terms of the Bowlus will. As such, the Center includes an education wing for fine arts classes: vocal and instrumental music, speech, drama, and art. Iola High School and Iola Junior High School (later Iola Middle School) students used the education wing fully for 40 years. Until 2005 there was never any question as to whether the Board of Education of USD 257, which is also Trustee of the Thomas H. Bowlus Trust, was using the premises fully and in conformance with the terms of the Bowlus will, which it is legally bound as Trustee to implement.

In the year of 2005 the Board began the process of removing various of the Iola Middle School fine arts classes from the Bowlus Center so that, as of several years ago, none remained there, and the classrooms have been used only for the Senior High School fine arts classes: vocal and instrumental music, speech, drama, and art.

This reduction in the number of fine arts classes has raised the question of wheth-

er the Board as Trustee has violated the terms of the will. Now, with the planned withdrawal of the remaining fine arts classes, the Trustee arguably has breached the terms of the will. The District Court of Allen County, Kansas, has continuing jurisdiction over the Bowlus Trust and the Trustee. There are two documents which govern the operation of the Center: Tom Bowlus’ will and the Court’s Memorandum Decision of October 4, 1966. In its Memorandum Decision the District Court stated: “… the ‘Fine Arts and Cultural Center’ may and should be used to a major degree for the teaching of fine arts subjects to, and demonstration of the performing arts by, the youth of the community … .” (emphasis added) The planned non-conforming use of the premises for career and technical programs, or for any other classes which are not truly fine arts subjects as required

by Mr. Bowlus, likely will result in forfeiture of the Bowlus Center by the Board of Education as Trustee of the Bowlus Trust. To ensure that the Center is used solely for the education of the children in the fine arts and for cultural purposes, Tom Bowlus provided in his will that “… in the event any other use is made of such premises then and in that event the TRUST, insofar as SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 10 [now USD 257] is concerned shall fail …” and the trust assets, including the building itself, will pass to the alternate beneficiaries under Mr. Bowlus’ will.

Although the District Court of Allen County, Kansas, has not yet had occasion to construe the will as to which assets will be received by each of the alternate beneficiaries, likely the real estate, including the Bowlus Center, and $50,000 will pass to the City of Iola, and the contents of the Center and the balance of the trust fund of approximately three quarters of a million dollars will pass to the University of Kansas Endowment Association.

In the event that the District Court determines that the trust assets pass to the alternate beneficiaries because of the Trustee’s actions, the District Court will also be the one to determine what personal liability, if any, there may be of the members of the Trustee to the several thousand present and future trust beneficiaries (the school children and the citizens of the Iola area) if

they lose the Bowlus Center as a result of the Trustee’s breach of its fiduciary duty to uphold the terms of Tom Bowlus’ will.

The Board of Education as Trustee apparently has absolute confidence that the career and technical programs to be held in the Bowlus Center constitute “fine arts subjects” in compliance with the terms of the Bowlus will and of the District Court’s Memorandum Decision discussed previously.

Before embarking on this perilous course which, if the Trustee is wrong, could result in forfeiture of all of the trust assets, including the Bowlus Center, the Trustee presumably obtained a written legal opinion which is ironclad in support of this position.

As a citizen of the Iola area and hence one of the beneficiaries of the Bowlus Trust, I call upon the Trustee to post by no later than this Friday, September 26, on its website the complete text of this legal opinion. I have reviewed on the district’s website the list of the new classes that will be placed in the Bowlus Center, and this legal opinion presumably has analyzed each class to determine if it complies with the requirements of the will and the Memorandum Decision. TRANSPARENCY by the Board of Education as Trustee to the trust beneficiaries on this essential issue of the possible demise of the Bowlus Center demands that the Trustee fully disclose this legal opinion.

Even then, of course, it is only an attorney’s opinion, and in the end the only opinion that matters is that of the District Court at such time as it should have occasion to rule on this. Most of us would not risk the loss of all of our personal assets on the as yet unmade ruling of a court. I am appalled as a beneficiary of the Bowlus Trust that the Trustee has decided to gamble on the possible loss of all of the trust assets of which I and several thousand other people are the beneficiaries.

It is a community tragedy that the very existence of the Bowlus Fine Arts and Cultural Center has needlessly been put in jeopardy. If you value the Bowlus Center, then vote NO on the school bond issue on November 4. Since the Iola sales tax issue is linked to the bond issue and has to pass also for the new schools project to proceed, Iola voters should also vote NO on the sales tax issue.

City’s health insurance will increase

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

The city’s health insurance plans will increase slightly for 2015.

City Council members approved the new monthly premiums Monday, which increase to $295.52 for single coverage and $662.97 for family plans, increases of 5.63 percent and 7.05 percent, respectively.

The rates are favorable compared to plans offered up by other municipalities, including Allen County, explained David Dillon, representative from BlueCross BlueShield of Kansas.

The city is partially self-insured under a $1,500/$3,000 deductible plan that remains available because it was in place before the Affordable Care Act was signed into law in 2010.

The city plan also features Health Savings Accounts for its employees.

The nominal rate increases are possible, Dillon explained, because of a low claims history for city employees over the past 32 months.

The city’s health insurance fund sits at a “healthy” $538,537, City Administrator Carl Slaugh said.

Council members briefly discussed altering the plan, such as providing dental coverage, or by transferring less into the health insurance fund for each employee.

The city’s employee task force recommended against those options because it could potentially cut into the city’s funding level. The city pays 100 percent of a single employee’s premiums, and all of the costs above $250 for family plans.

THE

CITY

WILL

slightly alter hours for the Iola Municipal Pool when it reopens for the

summer in May 2015.

The pool will close to the public one hour earlier, at 7 p.m., five nights a week, including weekends.

The shorter hours allow pool employees to work after the pool closes for adult swim or for private parties. Some younger employees had to leave early because of the park’s curfew rules, Recreation Director Jason Bauer said.

The Council balked at Bauer’s recommendation to increase admission fees for children between the ages of 3 and 5. The admission prices will be studied further before voting.

Council members approved selling a vacant lot at the intersection of Archer and McGuire drives in the Cedarbrook Addition to developer Tom Carlson for $7,500.

Carlson has filled most of the neighborhood with the River

Valley Homes complex on what used to be the western half of Cedarbrook Golf Course.

Carlson plans to use the lot to place a community room and property manager’s office for the River Valley complex.

Slaugh noted the rest of the complex is now full, “a good problem to have.”

The Council also directed Slaugh to begin variance procedures with the Iola Planning Commission because Carlson would need a special use permit to place the new building.

COUNCIL MEMBERS

approved hiring of Lauren Johnson to the city clerk and utilities office and Andrew Chester with the electric distribution staff. The Council voted to terminate the employment of Steve Appling with the Gas, Water and Wastewater Department. No reason was given.

“Neither hurricane shutters or bulletproof glass helped,” he said of the protective measures.

“Every window is gone. Every structure is flooded. Everything has been smashed. Trees were stripped or fallen.”

After the storm, the Hull family found refuge in the house of friends who had a generator.

“We had food and bottled water. As bad as it was, we had it easy.”

Except for sleep.

“That was tough,” he said.

“I’m not sure what we’re going to do now,” Hull said, still shellshocked from the experience.

EMS: Contract Continued from A1

Since Jan. 1, the city has provided countywide ambulance service, although Council members began to squawk when it became evident the $750,000 subsidy from the county was not enough to make ends meet. Projections are the service will be about $377,000 in the red by Dec. 31.

The Council added a $5 monthly meter charge for all city electric customers through the end of the year to help meet half the shortfall while using utility reserves to meet half the shortfall. The county has offered another $189,000.

The $1 million annual subsidy will be paid first from the receipts from the ambulance runs. If receipts are less than the $1 million benchmark — most expect the number to top out at $750,000 — the county will make up the difference.

The city will continue to provide Type I ambulance service for all of Allen County. Ambulances will continue to be stationed in Iola, Humboldt and Moran.

The amended con-

tract also contains language that may aid the city in reducing overtime costs by allowing the city to use Moran’s or Humboldt’s ambulances as backup when an Iola ambulance is in service instead of bringing in on-call employees.

The “two-in, twoout” practice — necessary because the fire station must have at least four employees available for service at all times to respond to fires — has led to extensive overtime costs.

Utilizing the Moran and Humboldt ambulance crews as backup would not reduce the Type I service in either location, the contract reads.

The amended contract would run through Dec. 31, 2020, and contains a sixmonth termination clause for each side.

Councilwoman Nancy Ford cast the lone dissenting vote to approve the amended contract’s language.

In a related matter, City Council members voted to hire Tyler Wooten and Spencer Hart as firefighters/EMS personnel.

JV football can’t overcome Labette’s McPhereson

By SPENCER MICHELSON The Iola Register

Iola High’s junior varsity football team put up a valiant effort but came up short in a 33-16 loss to Labette County.

The Mustangs started with the ball on their own 28 yard line. However, quarterback Ben Cooper was brought to the ground hard on a keeper and fumbled the ball. The Grizzlies recovered on Iola’s 28 yard line.

On Labette’s first play of the game, Isaiah McPhereson ran for a 28-yard touchdown.

The play, however, was called back because of an offensive holding penalty. Instead of a touchdown, the Grizzlies were put back on Iola’s 38 yard line.

On the next play, Ben Cooper made up for the fumble with an interception. Iola got the ball back on their own 18 yard line.

The Mustangs were forced to punt during their next drive. After a 37-yard punt by Nick Vaughn, the ball was returned 30 yards by McPhereson.

“It was a really good performance,” coach Dana Daugharthy said. “They had one kid that was faster than us, but we rallied and tackled him for the most part. We kicked to him when we weren't supposed to kick to him.”

Daugharthy was referring to McPhereson. Despite the good field position by McPhereson’s return, Iola’s Joey Zimmerman recovered a fumble placing Iola at their own 15 yard line.

Ben Cooper ran for a 19yard pickup and suddenly,

the Mustangs took back the momentum.

Unfortunately, Cooper threw an interception returned for a 34-yard touchdown. Again, the touchdown was negated because of a penalty on Labette. The first quarter ended on the play.

After failed drives by both teams, the first score of the game came on a 4-yard run

by Labette’s Rogan Bruce. Labette missed the extra point and led 6-0.

The Mustangs got the ball back, but were forced to punt after starting on their own 4 yard line. Vaughn punted the ball to Iola’s 38 yard line, but McPhereson returned it all the way to Iola’s two yard line. Bruce scored his second touchdown on a two-yard scamper. After getting the two point conversion, Labette led 14-0.

Labette started with the ball, but Iola’s Cale Barnhart quickly intercepted a pass giving Iola the ball back. The Mustangs would go for it on fourth down during their next drive, but couldn’t convert.

On Labette’s next possession, Iola forced them to punt after starting the series off with a five-yard loss on a sack

by Gage Tomlinson. Labette couldn’t recover from that and had to punt for the first time in the game.

Taking over on the Grizzlies’ 40 yard line, Iola would drive the field. Evan Sigg connected with Zimmerman for a seven-yard pass that resulted in a first down. Nik Peterson then had a 40-yard run to the five yard line. Sigg scored on a three-yard rushing touchdown. He also succeeded on

Joey Zimmerman (2) evades a Labette defender to get a first down. Later in the drive, Evan Sigg scored Iola’s first touchdown. REGISTER/SPENCER MICHELSON a two-point conversion. Iola trailed 14-8.

McPhereson struck again.

This time he had a 78-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. Labette quickly expanded its lead to 20-8 after failing on the extra point.

On Iola’s next possession, the Mustangs started on their own 6-yard line. Peterson fumbled and the Grizzlies recovered the ball.

Labette’s Jake Terrel threw a four-yard pass caught in the end zone by Alex Newell. The Grizzlies were winning 26-8.

Iola got the ball back on their own 36 yard line. Zim-

merman broke free on the first play for a 47-yard run.

With five seconds left in the third quarter, Nick Vaughn ran 13 yards for a touchdown.

After a two-point conversion

by Peterson, Iola trailed 26-16 going into the fourth quarter.

After a failed drive by Labette, Iola sustained a steady drive. On fourth and six on Iola’s 46 yard line, Cooper tossed a 9-yard pass to Bryce Anders for a first down. On second and 15 on Labette’s 46 yard line, Cooper hooked up with Ethan Holloway for a 16-yard gain and first down. On the next play, Labette recovered

a fumble negating the entire drive.

Of course, McPhereson would then take the ball 47 yards for a touchdown and Labette would convert is first extra point of the game. Labette took a 33-16 and that would be the final score.

“Overall, I think we played really well. They battled, and that's what I asked them to do,” Daugharthy said. “A lot of players were playing positions they hadn't before because we bumped a bunch of people up to varsity. They gave a maximum effort and that's what we asked them for.”

Lady Cubs JV volleyball wins HUMBOLDT — Humboldt’s junior varsity volleyball team defeated Crest and Moran Monday afternoon.

The Lady Cubs beat Crest 25-15 and 25-20. Rylan Wilhite had one kill, three aces and nine assists. Lizzie Myers had two kills. Kailey Wolken had one kill and an ace. Kassie Angelton had four kills and three aces. Britnee Works

had three kills and an ace.

“I felt like we were slow starting against Crest,” coach Cara Thomas said. “We struggled making a good pass, which cost us some points.

I was proud of the team for pushing through and getting the win.”

Humboldt won in three sets against Moran 25-14, 2426 and 15-10. Wilhite had two

kills, 11 assists and nine aces.

Myers had four kills. Ames had two kills, two assists and an ace. Angelton had eight kills and two aces. Works had three aces and a kill.

“It was hard for us to keep up our intensity tonight,” Thomas said. “The girls set the ball up well during this set. They pulled through and got a good win.”

IMS eighth grade A-Team volleyball wins Iola Middle School’s eighth grade volleyball teams hosted Parsons Monday afternoon.

The A-Team won 25-23 and 27-25.

“Piper Moore made some smart plays at the net and had eight kills,” coach Terri Carlin said. “She also had an ace serve and an assist.”

Mia Aronson had an ace, assist and kill. Kendra Sprague had two aces and two kills. Madisyn Holloway had two aces. Shaylee Sutterby had three aces. Paige Burrough served the final point of the game and had an ace. Kassy Shelby had great

passes off or Parsons’ spikes.

“The girls really fought hard to win this one,” coach Carlin said. “This was a great match between two pretty solid and scrappy teams.

There were some great rallies on both sides.”

Iola started down 5-0 in the second set and at one time was behind 9-3. Sutterby then had six straight points.

Iola led 19-12, but Parsons rallied for seven straight points to tie the set.

“It went back and forth until the end,” Carlin said.

“This was a fun match, and it was great to walk away with

the win.”

The B-Team lost its match 14-25 and 24-26.

Macie Martin had two aces. Shelby and Charvelle Perterson had four kills each.

“We weren't quite focused and ready in the first set,” Carlin said. “The girls came out more ready in the second set. It was close at the end, but we just couldn't quite get ahead.”

B-Team coach Kendra Goddard was pleased with the play from Martin, who had several great passes that allowed Iola to setup the ball.

Report: White House intruder armed WASHINGTON (AP) — Investigators found more than 800 rounds of ammunition, a machete and two hatchets in the car of the former soldier accused of scaling the White House fence and sprinting inside while carrying a knife, a U.S. prosecutor said Monday. President Barack Obama was “obviously concerned” about the weekend incident, a spokesman said.

The Secret Service, which protects the president and his family, increased security around the famous grounds on Pennsylvania Avenue in the nation’s capital, some guards openly holding weapons, others escorting dogs. There was talk of expanding the security zone beyond the current area as a major investigation began into the question of how the man managed to get to the building without being stopped.

On Monday evening, a temporary, second layer of fence was set up along the north side of the White House, in an apparent attempt to deter additional fence-jumping incidents Fo r t y - t wo - ye a r- o l d Omar J. Gonzalez faces charges of entering a restricted building or grounds while carrying a deadly or dangerous weapon. He had been arrested earlier in the summer in the nearby state of Virginia with a carful of weapons, authorities said, and a federal prosecutor said Monday in court that Gonzalez had had a map then with the White House circled.

Authorities ran into Gonzalez again, less than a month ago on Aug. 25, when he was stopped while walking along the south fence of the White House, his car parked nearby.

He had a hatchet in a rear waistband but no firearms, a federal prosecutor said at Monday’s hearing. Gonzalez gave permission to search his car and was not arrested.

Iola’s varsity tennis team has mixed results CHANUTE — Iola High’s varsity girls tennis team traveled to Chanute last Thursday to face off with Pittsburg, Columbus, Coffeyville and host Chanute.

One-seeded Bobbi Sinclair finished the day 2-1.

Sinclair beat Pittsburg’s Trina Paul 8-6. She also defeated Abby Zahm of Columbus 8-0. Her lone loss came at the hands of Chanute’s Shelby Stair, 8-1.

“Bobbi finished fourth on the night,” coach Jenn Bycroft said. “Her win over Pittsburg was awesome. I was extremely proud of how she played.

She showed a lot of hustle and endurance, especially after her hour-long first match of the night.”

Two-seeded Chyanne

Vaughn came away with one win. Vaughn lost to Pittsburg’s Chania Stewart 8-5 and Chanute’s Jenny Angleton 8-1. She beat Coffeyville’s Madison Giesen 8-1.

“I thought Chyanne was going to pull out the win against Pittsburg,” Bycroft said. “She worked hard in trying to fight back after being down in games.”

Iola’s one-seed doubles team of Shelby Reno and Allyson Hobbs went 1-2. The duo’s win came against Coffeyville 8-4.

The pair lost to Pittsburg 8-3 and Chanute 8-3.

“Shelby and Allyson did a good job. They were starting to work better together as the night went on,” Bycroft said.

“A few silly fundamental

mistakes cost us some points, but they also had many wins at the net.

They are moving a lot better on the court.”

Baleigh Seeber and Tori Smith, Iola’s twoseeded doubles team, also finished 1-2. The pair beat Columbus 8-1. Pittsburg beat them 8-5 and so did Chanute.

“So many close scores in their first two losses.

Communication is key in doubles play, so we are working on that,” Bycroft said. “We also just need to anticipate the ball better. Baleigh did a great job of chasing down every ball without giving up and Tori did a nice job at the net.”

The varsity team travels to Pittsburg State University on Thursday.

Marmaton Valley volleyball splits HUMBOLDT — Marmaton Valley’s varsity volleyball team split its matches in pool play of the Humboldt Invitational Saturday afternoon.

In their first match, the Wildcats lost to eventual champion Waverly 25-7 and 25-9.

Mackenzie Tynon had eight kills.

The third match re-

sulted in a 25-7 and 2511 win over St. Mary’s Colgan.

Marmaton Valley ended on a good note with a three-set win over Pleasanton. Again, after losing the first set 25-22, the Wildcats clawed back to win 2515 and 25-19. Boyd had 11 points. Kyla Drake had three kills. Tynon led the way with 15 points and 9 kills.

The Wildcats square off at Oswego today at 5 p.m.

MARMATON Valley’s junior varsity vol-

leyball team split its

games against Humboldt and Crest on Monday afternoon.

Marmaton lost in three sets to Humboldt, 14-25, 26-24 and 15-10.

The Wildcats beat Crest 25-7 and 25-15.

Shayla Brooks had 15 points and three kills. Tanna Lutz had 12 points. Trinitee Gutierrez had 10 points and three kills. MaKayla Brooks had 10 points and five kills. Clara Boyd had eight points and nine kills. Emily Plaschka had eight points. Magie Stevenson had two points and four kills.

Royals beat Indians 2-0, gain on Tigers

By TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer

CLEVELAND (AP) — Danny Duffy pushed the Royals a little closer to the top in the AL Central and nearer their first playoff appearance in 29 years.

Duffy pitched six shutout innings for his first win in more than a month as Kansas City moved within one game of first-place Detroit and kept some distance over Cleveland in the wildcard race, beating the Indians 2-0 on Monday night.

Duffy (9-11), who had thrown just one pitch in September before the start, escaped a basesloaded jam in the first and held the Indians to six hits. The left-hander had been sidelined since Sept. 6 with a sore shoulder.

“I wasn’t feeling any pressure,” Duffy said. “I tried to simplify things and not think about the race we’re in.”

Greg Holland worked the ninth for his 44th save as the Royals, seeking their first postseason appearance since 1985, earned an unusual split and moved within one game of the Tigers, who lost 2-0 at home to the White Sox. EARLIER, the Royals lost 4-3 in 10 innings in a game suspended Aug. 31 in Kansas City.

“It was a good day for us,” manager Ned Yost said. “We wanted to get that suspended game behind us. We knew that was looming over our heads. It’s like we’ve been saying, nobody knows what’s going to happen.”

Carlos Carrasco (8-6) couldn’t keep the momentum going for the Indians, who remain 3 1-2 games out in the wild card and are quickly running out of time.

“It’s not very often you don’t score and come away with a split,” manager Terry Francona said. “There’s not a lot of season left. Every time you lose a game you’re disappointed and now we’ll show up tomorrow and it’s kind of simple.

Just show up and try to win.”

Duffy survived a shaky first inning, when he threw 24 pitches. He gave up three hits in the first two innings, but just three more over the next four. His previous start against Cleveland was the game that wound being suspended.

Duffy’s performance — he was removed after throwing one pitch at Yankee Stadium on Sept.

6 — took a little pres-

sure off the Royals, who entered the day holding one of the two wildcard spots. Kansas City picked up one-half game on Seattle and stayed comfortably ahead of Cleveland.

“The teams we needed to lose, lost tonight,” said first baseman Eric Hosmer, who hit an RBI single in the first. “We gained some ground, especially playing these guys. They’re a tough team. If we get a chance to put these guys away we need to make the most of it.”

KANSAS CITY took a 2-0 in the fifth on Alcides Escobar’s RBI single that easily could have been ruled an error on Indians shortstop Jose Ramirez.

Cleveland’s first three hitters reached in the first, but the Indians came up empty as Duffy retired cleanup hitter Carlos Santana on a pop up, struck out Yan Gomes looking and got Mike Aviles on a lazy fly to right.

Carrasco gave the Indians another solid outing, allowing two runs and seven hits with nine strikeouts in 7 1-3 innings. The right-hander tossed a two-hitter last week in Houston for his first complete game shutout.

After waiting 23 days, the Indians needed nine minutes to finish off the Royals in the first game and temporarily pulled within 2 1-2 games in a wild, wild-card race entering its last days.

Scott Atchison gave up a two-out RBI single to Nori Aoki in the bottom of the 10th — Kansas City was the home team on the road — before getting Omar Infante to pop out for his second save with the tying run at second.

After finishing their series in Cleveland, the Royals will conclude the regular season with four games in Chicago. Kansas City is 10-5 against the White Sox and 5-1 at U.S. Cellular Field.

The shutout was Kansas City’s first in Cleveland since July 29, 2011.

Wade Davis recorded his 104th strikeout, setting a single-season club record for a Royals reliever. The previous mark was shared by Jim York (1971) and Greg Holland (2013).

Rookie RHP Yordano Ventura (13-10) makes his biggest start to date for the Royals. He leads all MLB rookies in wins.

RHP Danny Salazar (6-7) pitches on four days’ rest for Cleveland after working 7 1-3 innings in his last start vs. Houston.

‘No misinformation’ Public notice

by Ravens owner OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti refuted a report suggesting he and other team officials tried to persuade the NFL to be lenient on Ray Rice after the running back was arrested in February for knocking out his then-fiancee in an Atlantic City elevator.

Bisciotti, who rarely met with the media before the Rice saga, said Monday he felt it necessary to respond to an ESPN story last week that described he, president Dick Cass and general manager Ozzie Newsome pushing Commissioner Roger Goodell for leniency for Rice.

“Their accusations didn’t jibe with what we know is fact,” said Bisciotti, who, sitting in

a raised leather chair square in the middle of a raised stage at his team’s training facility, also denied that he contacted the league on Rice’s behalf.

“I don’t think the league would take too kindly to us badgering them,” Bisciotti said. “I didn’t really care. If it was going to be a precedent-setting (suspension of) four or six games, I would have told Ray not to appeal it.

“I expected four or six games and I was surprised as everybody else that it was two.”

The two games were Rice’s original suspension by the league — the Ravens took no action at the time — for punching Janay Palmer in a casino on Feb. 15.

How to split with a divorced couple Hi, Carolyn: The abbreviated version is that my husband and I were very close friends with another couple, “Bill” and “Sara,” and that couple’s marriage has dissolved recently and spectacularly.

In the beginning, we attempted to stay neutral and support each party, but as time has passed and things have come to light, my husband and I have both gravitated to Bill’s side for various reasons. The problem is how to handle this with Sara, who is emotionally labile, and also coming to town for a work meeting in a few weeks with the expectation of meeting up with us. We don’t feel like it’s a great idea.

I’m torn because I feel genuine empathy

Tell Me About It Carolyn Hax for Sara but can’t see how to be a good friend to her anymore. This is especially hard because I always thought of myself as a loyal person. I think our friendship has run its course because of how their marriage ended and things that have happened in the aftermath, but I feel callous and judgmental in telling her that.

Any suggestions on what to say, and how to say it?

— Navigating a Divorce of Friends

Not to be a stickler or anything, but you’re already judgmental for what you’re thinking; it’s merely the telling that has you feeling callous.

Dropping her without explanation, though, is pretty callous, too.

So ask yourself whether you’re ready to say the following: “Sara, I know you want to get together when you’re in town. I’m really struggling, though, to understand _______,” with _______ being the thing that forced you off the fence onto Bill’s side.

If you feel comfortable saying that — if you’ve already challenged yourself on your conclusions about Sara, and you’re confident you’re believing and doing the right

thing — then you owe it to Sara to say as much.

If instead there’s room for doubt, then you owe it to Sara to recognize your conclusions may be premature and to keep an open mind accordingly. That includes seeing her, and treating her as a friend, when she’s in town.

While I believe that letting it drift into oblivion is among the viable options for ending a friendship, and that explanations aren’t always necessary or kind, they do become necessary when one of you is actively working to sustain the friendship. As long as Sara is doing that by pursuing plans with you, then it’s on you to be judiciously, emphatically honest with her.

Prostate screens no longer for everyone Dear Dr. Roach: I’m 67 and male. When I had a male doctor, he did a yearly testicle and prostate exam during my physical. Now the practice has been taken over by female doctors, and for the past three years, this has not been done.

Is this new? Is there a correct way to ask why the change? Believe me, this exam is not one I look forward to, but with a family history of prostate cancer and other cancers, the blood work I get each year alone does not seem to be enough.

— Anon.

Answer: There has

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health indeed been a change in the way prostate and testicular screening tests have been considered in recent years, and recommendations by advisory groups have changed as well. The current recommendation by the most influential group in the U.S., the Preventive Services Task Force, is against routine screening for prostate cancer and testicular cancer.

There are some situations, such as with a strong family history, in which screening for these conditions is appropriate.

However, there are some situations, such as with a strong family history, in which screening for these conditions is appropriate, and it is always appropriate for your doctor to listen to

your concerns and preferences.

As far as male doctors versus female, most studies have shown that women physicians tend to spend a bit more time with their patients and tend to be more in compliance with practice guidelines.

However, differences between individuals are more important than differences between the groups. Just tell your doctor, male or female, that you would like to further discuss prostate and testicular cancer screening.

WHO: Ebola cases could top 21,000 LONDON (AP) — New estimates from the World Health Organization warn the number of Ebola cases could hit 21,000 in six weeks unless efforts to curb the outbreak are ramped up.

Since the first cases were reported six months ago, the tally of cases in West Africa has reached an estimated 5,800 illnesses. WHO officials say cases are continuing to increase exponentially and Ebola could sicken people for years to come without better control measures.

In recent weeks, health officials worldwide have stepped up efforts to provide aid but the virus is still spreading. There aren’t enough hospital beds, health workers or even soap and water in the hardesthit West African countries: Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia.

Last week, the U.S. announced it would build more than a dozen medical centers in Liberia and send 3,000 troops to help.

Britain and France have also pledged to build treatment centers in Sierra Leone and Guinea and the World Bank and UNICEF have sent more than $1 million worth of supplies to the region.

“We’re beginning to see some signs in the response that gives us hope this increase in cases won’t happen,” said Christopher Dye, WHO’s director of strategy and study co-author, who acknowledged the predictions come with a lot of uncertainties.

“This is a bit like weather forecasting. We can do it a few days in advance, but looking a few weeks or months ahead is very difficult.”

They also calculated the death rate to be about 70 percent among hospitalized patients but

noted many Ebola cases were only identified after they died. So far, about 2,800 deaths have been attributed to Ebola.

Dye said there was no proof Ebola was more infectious or deadly than in previous outbreaks.

The new analysis was published online today by the New England Journal of Medicine — six months after the first infections were reported on March 23.

WHO is just one of the groups that have attempted to calculate the epidemic’s future toll.

Today, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is expected to release its own predictions for only Liberia and Sierra Leone — the two West African countries that recently have shown the steadiest and most alarming spread of cases.

The CDC calculations are based, in part, on assumptions that cases have been dramatically underreported.

Other projections haven’t made the same kind of attempt to quantify illnesses that may have been missed in official counts.

CDC scientists conclude there may be as many as 21,000 reported and unreported cases in just those two countries as soon as the end of this month, according to a draft version of the report obtained by The Associated Press. They also predict that the two countries could have a staggering 550,000 to 1.4 million cases by late January.

The agency’s numbers seem “somewhat pessimistic” and do not account for infection control efforts already underway, said Dr. Richard Wenzel, a Virginia Commonwealth University scientist who formerly led the International Society for Infectious Diseases.
