ACC OKs budget, raises

By KAYLA BANZET The Iola Register

Allen Community College trustees approved a new spending plan for the 2015-16 school year at a special meeting Tuesday after a new valuation was introduced by the county earlier this month.

Enbridge Pipeline’s new line coming through Allen County bumped up countywide valuation by more than $45 million. The higher valuation gives the college an added $765,990 in general fund or capital outlay spending authority for the upcoming fiscal year.

The ad valorem tax levy

will stay at 18.75 mills.

ACC faculty will receive a 3 percent increase to their salary base of 2014-15.

The trustees approved the master agreement and the agreement will be retroactive to July 1.

Trustee Mary Kay Heard asked about the possibility of adding trees to the campus. She is aware the college has had trouble growing trees around the campus.

“I don’t think the average Allen Countian does know how much trouble they’ve had in the past,” she said.

Chairman Ken McGuffin noted for the size of the See ACC | Page A4

Family: Health scare brings blessings

Speakers: Marx Brothers, Keaton had occasional ties

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

Her grandson’s recent hospitalization left Theresia Turner feeling proud.

Proud of how 2-yearold Asher Turner made it through a six-day hospitalization with flying colors.

And she’s equally as proud to call Iola home.

Young Asher returned home from the hospital Thursday after a nasty case of adenovirus.

The virus is prevalent among all age groups, but is most serious for young children or others with weakened immune systems.

And even then, the virus rarely advances past the “mild” stage.

Not so with Asher.

His mother, Stacia VanHouden, took her son from their Yates Center home Sept.

8 to the emergency room at Allen County Regional Hospital with cold-like symptoms; headache, congestion, and most concerning, a highgrade fever.

Doctors ordered VanHouden to give Asher regular doses of acetaminophen (Tylenol), and if his condition didn’t improve, to return to the hospital.

Three days later, it hadn’t,

Doctors admitted Asher to the hospital to continue treatment for the fever, and for dehydration because he had stopped drinking as his illness worsened.

By the next day, doctors were certain they knew the illness was viral. They also

Attorney general obtains order to protect court funds

By JOHN HANNA The Associated Press

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt obtained a judicial order Tuesday preserving the state court system’s funding amid Derek Schmidt a legal dispute over an administrative policy imposed on it by legislators.

Schmidt filed a petition in Neosho County District Court to block enforcement

of a law enacted earlier this year that tied the judiciary’s budget through June 2017 to the administrative policy, approved by lawmakers last year. The policy stripped the Kansas Supreme Court of its power to pick the chief judges in each of the state’s 31 judicial districts, giving it instead to local judges.

Neosho County District Judge Daryl Ahlquist granted Schmidt’s request to put this year’s measure on hold until March 15. The move gives legislators time to reconsider it after they reconvene in January.

Junction City reassesses plans after overbuilding JUNCTION CITY, Kan. (AP) — Junction City officials remain optimistic the lots the city took back from developers after overbuilding a decade ago will be sold, even though only two of the first 25 lots offered for sale received bids.

The city has 900 undeveloped lots in a land bank it created after a building boom in 2005 caused by reports that as many as 8,000 troops would be transferred to Fort Riley. About 5,500 troops eventually arrived but most preferred to live on base or couldn’t afford the new housing.

The city annexed about

1,400 acres to build new housing and took on $190 million in debt to finance infrastructure and for incentives to developers. When the recession prevented developers from paying special assessments or taxes, the city put the property into the land bank and is trying to get the lots back into private hands, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported.

City residents have paid the first seven of the 20 years of special assessments used to finance the infrastructure development.

Clinton says she opposes Keystone pipeline Deputy saves drowning kids DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday she opposes construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, breaking her longstanding silence over a project criticized by environmentalists as a threat to the planet’s climate.

The Democratic presidential candidate said she decided to speak out after concluding the ongoing debate over whether the pipeline should be built had become a distraction to larger efforts to fight climate change.

That distraction, she said, is “unfortunately, from my perspective, one that interferes with our ability to move forward to deal with the other issues. Therefore I oppose it.”

Clinton’s announcement came as she has ceded ground in some polls to Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who has long opposed the project. It also followed

the appearance of protesters at some of her recent campaign events holding signs that read, “I’m Ready for Hillary to say no KXL.” The former secretary of state had previously said she shouldn’t take a position on the issue, because she didn’t want to interfere with the Obama administration as it considers whether to allow construction of a pipeline that would transport oil from Canada’s tar sands to refineries on the Gulf of Mexico.

The announcement was viewed with disappointment in Canada, where Prime Minister Stephen Harper has said as recently as last month that he was confident the next U.S. president would approve the project.

“This is not a debate between Canada and the U.S.,” said Stephen Lecce, a spokesman for Harper. “We know the

American people support the project. We will not engage in presidential primary debates.”

Less reluctant was Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush, who said on Twitter that Clinton’s decision proves she “favors environmental extremists over U.S. jobs.”

Spurred on by environmental activists and liberals who play a key role in the Democratic primaries and vigorously oppose the pipeline project, Clinton had expressed impatience in recent weeks over the Obama administration’s drawn-out deliberations.

Her campaign said the White House was briefed on Clinton’s position prior to her comments and she privately made her opposition to the pipeline known when she discussed her plans with labor officials in recent weeks.

Clinton is scheduled

to raise money in California over three days beginning Sunday and was sure to face questions from donors on why she had yet to stake out a position.

Tom Steyer, a leading environmentalist and top Democratic donor, said it was a “clear example of people power overcoming the special interests” and credited Clinton for joining with “thousands of Americans calling on President Obama to reject the Keystone XL pipeline in favor of building an American economy powered by clean energy.”

Reince Priebus, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, said Clinton was being “blatantly dishonest” when she said her role at the State Department had prevented her from taking a position.

Concern about Vice President Joe Biden political future played a role, too, he said.

Charity collects items to send to Syrian refugees PHILADELPHIA (TNS) — Born in Syria and living in Bryn Mawr, Nizar Alkurdi grieves the tragedies of his homeland: Crude barrel bombs that kill and maim. Swathes of Syria under Islamic State control. The photograph of a refugee toddler lying drowned on the shore.

Published worldwide this month, the photo of the toddler became an instant icon of Syria’s civil war and refugee crisis, which have displaced half the country’s 22 million people. Similar to the Vietnam War-era photo of a girl running naked because napalm burned off her clothes, the powerful picture of this one dead boy seemed to cut through the noise.

But, in the context of savage injuries, even the tragedy of a drowned 3-year-old raised mixed feelings in Alkurdi.

“For us, as Syrians, we consider this boy a luxurious death,” he said in an interview, “because he died in one piece.”

Alkurdi then pulled out his cellphone, which carries photos of atrocities, and thumbed to one of a baby with a tracheotomy, and missing parts of all four limbs. “She is still alive,” he said.

“Imagine the pain she had.”

Unwilling to let such misery just depress him, Alkurdi, 61, a retired limousine company owner who came to the United States in 1983, and his wife, Renata, 53, a Polandborn convert to Islam, who also lived for a time in Damascus, two years ago created the Narenj Tree Foundation, a littleknown group named for the bittersweet orange found commonly in Damascus.

“We wanted a name that Syrian people would

Renate Alkurdi and Samar Bitar of Narenj Tree Foundation seal a box of used clothes that will be shipped to Syrian refugees. Michael Matza/Philadelphia Inquirer/TNS understand and American people would ask about,” said Renata, who like her husband has U.S. citizenship.

Regarding the brutal photos on his telephone, which Nizar said some people find unseemly, he carries them as a reminder and reason to rededicate his commitment.

Based in a nondescript warehouse in Norristown, the charity collects used clothes, new school notebooks, personal hygiene products and medical supplies, including walkers and canes. About once a month, it ships a jam-packed container to the crowded refugee camps in Turkey and Lebanon, and to Idlib, a part of northern Syria free from the fighting.

On a busy day of folding and sorting at the warehouse, which the Alkurdis rent at their own expense, they and an assorted cast of volunteers will pack about 50 corrugated boxes, each measuring 18x18x16 inches.

In addition to accepting donations every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the warehouse, the foundation maintains four clothing drop bins in the Philadelphia area: at the Gracious Center of Learning and Enrichment in Cherry Hill; Foundation for Islamic Education in Villanova; Al Aqsa Islamic Academy in Germantown; and the Islamic Academy of Delaware in Newark.

Although sparked by what is happening in Syria and across the Middle East, Narenj’s supporters are not exclusively Arab or Muslim. A Jewish donor brought in a box of coats, said Renata.

Christian supporters in Upper Darby collected donations through their YMCA. Estimating each shipment’s value at $100,000, the nonprofit charity has provided about $2 million in aid since 2013.

“We would never have been able to send 20 containers in two years,”

Today

said Renata, “if people were just sitting and crying.”

On a recent day at the warehouse, Samar Bitar, 54, helped Renata sort through a mountain of donated shirts, blouses, pants, coats, and shoes.

Bitar came to the United States from Damascus almost a year ago and lives in Wynnewood with her two sons.

Bitar painted a picture of contemporary life in Syria. There are safe pockets in regimecontrolled Damascus, although there have been bombings there, too, she said, and desperate people from the more dangerous provinces have flooded into the city. In fact, her three siblings from hard-hit Aleppo moved into their mother’s house in Damascus.

“But there are no young men,” she said, because so many have left the country, fleeing to safety, or to avoid the nation’s compulsory military service.

in pond; dad is arrested DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — The North Carolina man accused of trying to drown his two young daughters initially told residents of an apartment complex he believed his 7-yearold son had been kidnapped and needed help finding him.

Alan Tysheen Eugene Lassiter flagged down passers-by at the Audubon Lake apartments Sunday night saying he was searching for his son, apartment complex manager Sylvia Scott said Tuesday.

It wasn’t until later that Lassiter told Scott and a 911 operator that he’d drowned his 3- and 5-year-old daughters, Scott said. Lassiter was mistaken: The girls survived after being pulled from the water

by Durham County Sheriff ’s Deputy David Earp, who lives nearby.

The boy had escaped and run for help, police said.

Scott said she was the one who called Earp. As the deputy retrieved the girls, Lassiter was standing nearby smoking a cigarette.

He became distraught, wailed “What have I done?” and started to cry, Scott said.

Lassiter, 29, of Raleigh, did not live at the apartment complex, according to Durham Police Chief Jose Lopez.

Earp said the girls were about 10 feet from a bank that slopes sharply down to the pond, which is about as long as a football field.

The 5-year-old was floating and crying, Earp said. Her 3-yearold sister was fully submerged. Earp said he walked into water about 5 feet deep and snatched each one of

the girls under an arm.

After getting them safely to land, Earp said he took the 5-yearold to a nearby gazebo and asked Scott and her son to watch over her.

“I knew she was terrified and I just took her off and didn’t want her to be around her sister,” Earp said.

The five-year veteran of the sheriff ’s department said he and the arriving officers from the Durham police department performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the 3-year-old for about 15 minutes until medical help arrived.

The younger girl was in critical condition Tuesday and the older girl in good condition, police said.

According to authorities, Lassiter threw the girls into the pond surrounded by apartment buildings.

Lassiter said so himself, during a 911 call Sunday night. Between expletive-laden rage and distraught sobs, he told a dispatcher officials had tried to take away his children as he dealt with a personal problem.

Lassiter was charged with three counts of attempted murder: one count for each of the girls and a third for their 7-year-old brother. Lassiter was jailed, with bond set at $2 million, pending a hearing next month. Earp, 26, who has no children of his own, says the lifeor-death episode continues to reverberate for him.

“It plays over in my mind a lot, as I’m sure with any person,” Earp said. “Hopefully these kids will push through.”

Brownback intervenes in auction of illegal deer SALINA, Kan. (AP) — A 14-point whitetail deer head was removed from a state auction of illegally hunted trophy deer heads at the request of Gov. Sam Brownback’s office because of a continuing dispute over its ownership.

The Legislature asked that the state remove the deer head until lawmakers consider several issues raised by the ownership dispute, according to governor’s office spokeswoman Melika Willoughby.

The owners of the land in Osage County on which the deer was illegally shot in 2011 is fighting for ownership of the deer head, the

Salina Journal reported. So far, Tim Nedeau and his family have been unsuccessful in gaining possession of the trophy head.

The Legislature is considering a bill that would require state government to give landowners first rights to buy wildlife illegally poached on their land.

Nedeau testified last year at legislative hearings in favor of the bill.

The auction of more than 100 deer trophy heads, antlers, guns and boats brought in $90,000. One deer trophy sold for $2,950.

Proceeds from the auction will benefit the wildlife department, Kaufman said.

Turner: 2-year-old’s family counts blessings after illness Continued from A1

Children’s Mercy officials came to get the youngster with a team of hospital staffers.

Asher was taken in Mercy’s ambulance.

“The closest way I can describe it, is it looks like it’s out of a circus, with animals painted on the side, and bright lights everywhere,” Turner said of the ambulance.

Inside the ambulance, however, is a state-ofthe-art medical facility, geared for treating children.

“About the only thing you can’t do in there is surgery,” Turner said.

A WAVE of emotion flooded Turner and her daughter as Asher departed ACRH. “We started to cry

as we left, but Stacia looked at me and said, ‘You’re strong, I’m strong. We’ve got to stay strong,’” Turner said.

“So we started praying.”

By then, word had spread through the community about Asher’s condition.

“My phone and Stacia’s phone started getting flooded with texts,” Turner said.

Well-wishers were calling for two reasons: to check on Asher’s condition; and to offer their

prayers and words of support.

“One of the most awesome things is knowing you live in a community that’s so close to you,” Turner said. “Even people we didn’t know were praying for Asher.”

DOCTORS IN Kansas City confirmed the adenovirus diagnosis, with patience the key.

Because the illness was viral, it couldn’t be treated with antibiotics.

was keep him hydrated and keep his fever down while it ran its course,” Turner said. They also used tubes to drain fluids from his respiratory system.

Adenovirus, according to the Centers for Disease Control, is a common affliction for youngsters, but rarely advances beyond the “common cold” level.

“The doctors at Children’s Mercy knew exactly what it was. I was thrilled they knew what it was, but one of our questions was if he was going to be able to see again after the swelling subsided.”

He would, they were assured.

“They kept saying, ‘He’s going to recover.’

It’s just the process you have to go through,” Turner said. “But seeing a 2-year-old go through that was what made it hard.”

After a rough few days — Asher slept for 48 straight hours at one point — he awakened the evening of Sept. 15.

Asher slowly recovered to the point he was discharged two days later after the fever subsided, and doctors were certain he could drink enough fluids on his own.

Even while he slept, Asher was being overlooked by angels, his grandmother insisted.

She recounted when Asher’s aunt arrived as he was still sleeping, and she asked him if he could praise Jesus.

“Even though he was sleeping, he slowly raised his arm,” Turner said. “That’s something he and I had always done, was to praise Jesus.”

A recent checkup revealed only a few remnants of the adenovirus.

“He still has a minor respiratory issue, but

they’ve assured us it’s not going to be a problem,” Turner said. “His eyes still look like he’s recovering, but he’s doing lots better.”

MEANWHILE, the calls of support continued unabated.

“The neat thing about it, there was another little boy whose grandmother had contacted me,” Turner said. “She said that by keeping updated on Asher, and seeing his photos, they insisted her grandson be sent to Children’s Mercy.”

That youngster had the same virus.

“I can’t thank people enough for the encouragement and prayers,” Turner said. “The support was everywhere. It was such an awesome feeling. It really touched my heart. It makes me love my community even more.”

how chief judges are selected view it as an attack on the court system’s independence and accuse the Republicandominated Legislature and GOP Gov. Sam Brownback of trying to intimidate the judiciary into accepting it through the budget process. Brownback and other supporters of the change argue it allows an important decision to be made locally.

Schmidt, also a Republican, said he wanted to create time for the dispute to be resolved “without unnecessary confrontation.”

calm the situation,” he said.

Legislators moved to preserve the change in how chief judges are selected after Kingman County District Judge Larry Solomon, the chief judge in the 30th District, filed a lawsuit.

A Shawnee County judge struck down the change earlier this month, say-

ing it improperly interfered with the Supreme Court’s power under the state constitution to supervise the judicial branch.

The judge put his order on hold while the state appeals. Four district court judges, including Solomon, filed a second lawsuit in Shawnee County, attacking this year’s budget measure.

Both policies have been criticized by the Supreme Court.

Schmidt filed his petition Tuesday in Chanute, almost 100 miles south of Topeka, suing only acting Administration Secretary Sarah Shipman, a Brownback appointee. Copies of his

request and Ahlquist’s order released by Schmidt’s office bore the same official time stamp from Tuesday morning.

Pedro Irigonegaray, a Topeka attorney representing Solomon and the other judges challenging this year’s budget measure, said he had not seen Schmidt’s petition or Ahlquist’s order until contacted by a reporter.

Schmidt’s petition said his case could be filed in Neosho County because its courts would close if funding for the judiciary were cut off.

Shipman did not object.

The petition also said Shipman was the defendant because her office oversees the distribu-

tache and caterpillar eyebrows continually signaled to the audience his mordant intentions, the silent Keaton largely ignored his audience, concerned as he usually was with pressing on against the headwinds of an impossible fate, exhibiting what the film critic Anthony Lane described as a “casual reluctance to be crushed.”

But the through-line is there, if you’re looking for it. In fact, for a brief (and mutually unhappy) period in the late-1930s, their careers overlapped. The elder, then-wilting Keaton — his masterpieces, “The General,” “Sherlock Jr.,” “Steamboat Bill, Jr.,” “One Week” well in his rearview mirror — took work as a poorly paid gag writer at MGM during a run of Marx Brothers movies.

The first outbreak came from an email with an attached resume. No one thought better than to open it — “We get resumes every week,” Hutton said.

Two computers were disabled.

The second time was more severe. The same virus, coming on an official looking email, got into the server, which meant such things as payroll records, code enforcement, utility billings and payments were affected.

“We had three days’ worth of work that had to be re-entered” to the server once Advantage Computer technicians had it back up and running, Hutton said.

Emails now are scrutinized before any attachments are opened, no matter how official or innocuous they appear, she added. “We don’t want it to happen again.”

A word of caution from Hutton for anyone who uses a computer and has an email account: “They’re developing new viruses every day,” to infect a computer’s system.

22nd Buster Keaton Celebration. Ohio University Zanesville professor Lisa Stein Haven will present “An Analysis of Keatonesque Humor in Three Marx Brothers’ Films” at 1:30 p.m. Friday at the Bowlus Fine Arts Center.

Stein Haven takes as her touchstone the films “A Night at the Opera” (1935), “At the Circus” (1939) and “Go West” (1940) — a trio of Marx Brothers movies bearing Keaton’s direct imprint (though the aging silent film star wasn’t always credited for his contributions).

In a phone conversation with the Register on Tuesday, Stein Haven — who first attended the Buster Keaton Celebration in 2006 — cited as “part of the beauty” of the Iola-based gathering the “astute crowds” who attend the event and the high-level of discussion produced by the mix of film purists and genuinely curious newcomers.

Another of this weekend’s speakers, and

a true veteran of the event, is Professor Frank Scheide, who will deliver his talk — “Why Ruritania? Exploring the Marx Brothers’ American Melting Pot via ‘Duck Soup’” — at 2:20 p.m. Friday, following directly behind Stein Haven.

While Scheide’s specialty is Charlie Chaplin, the University of Arkansas professor’s expertise ranges across the landscape of silent film. Scheide has participated in the Keaton Celebration every year since 1994, lending his expertise to discussions of many of that era’s bright lights.

Part of Scheide’s talk Friday will dwell on the evolution of the Marx Brothers’ use of ethnic impersonation and broad dialect humor during their early vaudeville days — Chico as the elaborately-accented Italian, Harpo the ruddy, boisterous Irishman, and Groucho as the “brusque, acerbic” German.

In time, especially as

their act made its way to celluloid, the troupe “refined” these ethnic stereotypes, said Scheide, softening the derisory edges and assimilating the ethnic differences into their popular art in a way that mirrored the real-life ethnic assimilation of early 20th century America.

Speaking of mirrors, Scheide will devote a portion of his lecture to the famous “mirror scene” from “Duck Soup,” in which Harpo’s character, pretending to be the reflection of Groucho’s, matches the brother move for move in a surreal, extended pas de deux. The discussion, said Scheide, will dovetail nicely with a lecture by another of this weekend’s presenters, Rob Arkus, who will trace the cinematic history of the mirror gag.

Afternoon registration for the Buster Keaton Celebration begins at 1 p.m. Friday at the Bowlus. The two-day celebration runs through Saturday.

tion of state funds.

“Topeka has been the epicenter of the fight between the Legislature and the Judiciary,” Schmidt spokeswoman Jennifer Rapp said an email. “We thought it better to get a fresh perspective on this issue that affects the entire state. Neosho County was suitable because it is away from Topeka.”

Schmidt argued that cutting off funding for the judiciary would violate a provision of

the state constitution that prevents judges from having their pay reduced during their current terms. Also, he said, closing the courts would prevent him from carrying out his officials duties.

The attorney general said he wanted this year’s law put on hold on those narrow grounds to avoid unnecessarily fanning “the flames of conflict between the Legislature and the Judiciary.”

In run-up to the big day, commissioners said they would replace seven flags — five

Chairman Tom Williams pointed out that John Muhl soon will have a receptacle in the courthouse where worn-out flags might be placed and later dis-

posed of in a proper manner, as part of his Eagle Scout project.

Muhl will put a container in Humboldt’s City Hall, as well.

“We need something like that,” Nevans observed. “Just the other day people at Walmart asked me where they could take old flags.”

In other business, commissioners:

— Appointed County Clerk Sherrie Riebel to be the county’s representative at the Kansas Association of Counties meeting in Wichita on

Nov. 5.

— Agreed to pay Rodney Burns, of Schlotterbeck & Burns, Chanute, $1,300 to help prepare the county’s budget in 2016 and $15,975 to audit 2015 financial records.

The budget charge remained unchanged; audit cost is $300 more.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Keaton Celebration has staying power The allure of Buster Keaton is how without a word he can have you busting at the seams with laughter or, for the soft-hearted, make you want to scoop him up in your arms.

After 100 years, Keaton’s staying power comes from his ability to win the hearts of his audience as he performs outrageous physical comedy with a face that betrays not a hint of emotion.

Hence the nickname “The Great Stone Face.”

Of a diminutive size and the physique of a gymnast, Keaton faces all kinds of trials — both physical and emotional — most often on the quest to win the woman of his dreams.

Good stuff.

Keaton is most famous for his years as a silent film actor in the early 1900s.

For the last 22 years Iola has benefited from a somewhat remote connection to Keaton. Turns out he was born in nearby Piqua on Oct. 4, 1895, while his vaudevillian parents were en route to some other location.

Organizers have taken advantage of the situation and turned the Buster Keaton Celebration into an annual event that for many puts Iola, Kansas on the map.

If you haven’t participated in the celebration, you’re missing out. It’s so much fun, the educational aspect is sometimes unrecognizable.

After all, it’s difficult to think how far the world has come, especially the technology of the film industry, when you’re watching a couple tied to tracks with a train bearing down on them.

Again, no words. Just the fright in their eyes.

The billowing black smoke from the train as its wheels

keep churning closer and closer. And ... nope. No spoiler alert here.

This year’s event also features the films of the Marx Brothers and some of their collaborative efforts with Keaton.

Film scholars from across the country will present talks about both, interspersed with film shorts. Again, they are as entertaining as they are educational.

On Friday and Saturday nights, as well as Saturday afternoon, full-length movies will be shown. For the schedule go to iolakeatoncelebration.org.

This year’s entertainment includes the Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra to provide the melodramatic score — the only “sound” element — for the films.

The Mont Alto Orchestra is world renown and it’s a real honor to have it here.

SO IOLANS, roll out the welcome mat.

And better yet, come treat yourself and your family. For the kids, especially, seeing a silent movie is a real occasion and the setting, the Bowlus Fine Arts Center, couldn’t be more perfect.

All the presentations and films are free and open to the public.

It doesn’t get any better.

TVDS employees give 40-year perspective Back in May, I wrote a column for area newspapers that discussed the 40 years of TriValley and it included a short history of how the organization was founded. I have only had an opportunity to witness eight of those 40 years, so I thought it would be appropriate to obtain the opinion of individuals who have been employed with the agency longer than that.

My first stop was in Fort Scott, where our longest-serving employee resides, Mrs. Alene Jolly.

Alene currently serves as director of our day services program. At 35 years, Alene’s perspective is valued greatly.

When I asked Alene what the biggest change over her tenure has been, she said, “It is the growth of the agency, the services we provide and choices. When I started, we were in one building, with two rooms and 10 clients. We only had two full-time staff and one part time.

“There was no waiting list and whoever needed services, received them.”

When I asked her what hasn’t changed in that time frame, she indicated that “The quality of our services has not changed at all; it has always been really good. Our mission has always been to make life better for people with disabilities.”

When I asked her further about changes, she said,

Use Medicare’s muscle to lower drug prices

“Case management was a big change, prior to that the responsibilities were absorbed by other employees. There were also no background checks, no orientation and very little training for that matter. Services for people with I/DD (intellectual/developmental disabilities) was still very new then.”

Another employee who has been with the organization a long time is Bill Fiscus from Chanute. Having been employed at TVDS for almost 30 years, most recently as associate director, Bill has seen five executive directors come and go. His view of the internal workings of Tri-Valley is second to none. When I asked Bill about the biggest changes he has seen, he said two events changed the course of our services, one positively and the other negatively.

On a positive note, he said the Developmental Disability Reform Act of 1995 was “the greatest thing to happen to our system. It established the framework and policies for how services should be provided. It was ground breaking at the time and was way ahead

Letter to the editor Dear editor,

A poll last month by Consumer Reports found that a third of the patients who take prescription drugs are paying significantly more this year, forcing many to cut back on other necessities or load up on credit card debt.

Another poll in August by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that about a quarter of those surveyed said they had trouble paying for prescription drugs.

Many of the people most affected by rising drug prices are older patients on Medicare, who often live on modest incomes, are in poor health, and take four or more prescription drugs. One way to reduce drug costs for this population is to reverse the policy set by the 2003 Medicare Modernization Act, which created Medicare’s prescription drug program.

At Republican insistence, that law barred the federal government from negotiating with drug manufacturers. It relied on bargaining by private insurers that manage drug benefits for Medicare patients, like UnitedHealth, Aetna and CVS Caremark, to wring discounts from the drug makers. That wasn’t

enough.

THE DRUG makers point out that what Medicare spends on drugs has been rising more slowly than had been projected over the past decade. But that is mostly because enrollment grew more slowly than expected and many widely used brandname drugs lost their patent protection and were replaced by low-cost generics.

While drug prices paid by insurers are usually discounted from the list price, those prices can still be very high. Medicare, with its enormous buying power, could drive costs down more.

This is important because the newest, most expensive drugs for high cholesterol, hepatitis C, cancer and other ailments are needed by a large number of the elderly and disabled people enrolled in that program. Those high prices then result in high co-payments and other cost sharing for its beneficiaries.

Hillary Rodham Clinton, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont and the Obama administration have voiced support for federal government intervention in Medi-

care price negotiations, but they have been so vague that it is impossible to discern exactly what they would do.

Massachusetts is considering allowing state officials to set price caps on some of the most expensive medications, and bills have been introduced in several states to require greater transparency from drug companies on how they set prices, a prerequisite for determining whether the pricing is reasonable.

The Congressional Budget Office has long concluded that curbing Medicare drug spending requires that federal officials have stronger tools, like the power to offer preferential treatment to drug makers that offer big discounts. Medicaid, the state-federal insurance program for the poor, has ways to get big rebates from drug manufacturers; Medicare should be given such powers as well.

Congressional Republicans would no doubt balk at having the federal government negotiate Medicare drug prices, but the public is clamoring for action, and it’s the right thing to do.

— The New York Times

of the rest of the country in terms of client choices, client rights and the treatment of people with I/DD.” On the other end of the spectrum, he said managed care has wrecked a fairly efficient system and put money in front of care.

“Managed care is re-creating a system that was tried in the past and it was proven to be a failure, and yet they are bringing back the medical model of services for longterm care.” When I asked him to explain further he said that “you cannot cure people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. They can improve their health through exercise and eating better, but medical care will not improve their functional capacity.”

When I asked Bill what has changed the least over that period of time, like Alene, he indicated client services. “We have always put an emphasis on client services. Our motto has been for many, many years “Client First” and that is what we try to live by. If it is something that affects the client positively, we do it. If it has a negative effect, we don’t do it unless we are required to by regulations.”

Sixty-five years of service from two employees is incredible and I want to personally thank them for everything they do to improve the lives of people with disabilities.

Well, it won’t be long until it’s 2016.

Time to break out the shovels and put a drop cloth down in front of the TV. What comes out may be declared a hazardous waste and need a special crew to clean it up.

It’s pretty pathetic that Donald Trump seems to be the best the Republican Party can come up with, or at least connects with people best. I think the main reason people seem to like him is because he is his own Super PAC. He can say whatever he wants to, even though it makes him look like the south end of a northbound horse.

I would like to look him in the eye and try to see what’s really in there. I may even suggest a couple of things that may help him, including: 1. Fire your hair dresser.

2. Think more, talk less.

I may throw my hat in the ring, too. Everyone else has.

When I become president the 2nd Amendment will be upheld. No background checks, anyone can buy all the guns they want as long as they register them. But there will be strictly enforced and thorough background checks on anyone who buys ammunition. They will be issued a permit when

they pass inspection. Anyone caught with a shell and no permit will be dealt with harshly.

I will think of something that will make them think they have been sentenced to latrine duty you know where.

Congress wrings its hands and makes a big fuss about the national debt when they think they may benefit from it.

When I become president there will be a law that any person, organization or company that makes a donation to a politician’s campaign or to him in any way will pay an equal donation to a fund that will go directly to pay off the debt. We’ll be in the black in no time.

Other countries will have to learn that we are not their ATM. Some advice for 2016. Unplug the TV. The library is full of good books.

Get reacquainted with those little hellions that keep running through your house. Play cards or some good old board game with them. You may find out that part of them belong next door. Stock up on old movies on DVDs. Get together with friends. Pick up a newspaper from various places once in a while. Turn on the radio now and then.

Obesity, diabetes rates rising in Kansas and Missouri

By BRYAN THOMPSON KHI News Service

Almost one in every three adults in Kansas and Missouri is not just overweight but obese, according to a new report from the Trust for America’s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

The State of Obesity: Better Policies for a Healthier America notes that obesity rates nationwide have stabilized, but at a level that’s much too high.

Kansas is one of five states — with Minnesota, New Mexico, Ohio and Utah — that saw an increase in obesity from 2013 to 2014. Kansas had the 13th highest obesity rate in the nation, at 31.3 percent. Missouri wasn’t far behind, coming in 20th with an obesity rate of 30.2 percent.

Arkansas had the highest adult obesity rate at 35.9 percent, while Colorado had the lowest at 21.3 percent.

Rates of obesity now exceed 35 percent in three states — Arkansas, West Virginia and Mississippi — are at or above 30 percent in 22 states, and are not below 21 percent in any state.

In 1980, no state had a rate above 15 percent, and in 1991, no state had a rate above 20 percent.

Now, more than 30 percent of adults, nearly 17 percent of children age 2 to 19 and more than 8 percent of children age 2 to 5 are obese.

Kansas now has the 13th highest obesity rate in the nation.

“Efforts to prevent and reduce obesity over the past decade have made a difference.

Stabilizing rates is an accomplishment. However, given the continued high rates, it isn’t time to celebrate,” said Jeffrey Levi, executive director of Trust for America’s Health.

“We’ve learned that if we invest in effective programs, we can see signs of progress. But, we still haven’t invested enough to really tip the scales yet.”

Kansas and Missouri were among the eight states with increased rates of Type 2 diabetes, which is linked to obesity. Missouri had a diabetes rate of 11.1 percent, while in Kansas the figure was 10.3 percent.

Diabetes rates have been steadily increasing for 20 years and

The combine damaged power poles along a

highway and in a neighborhood in the town of Ellinwood. The combine also struck a pickup truck. Ellinwood police say that when they arrived, the driver put the machine in reverse, ramming into a police cruiser before leaving.

The sheriff ’s department says a deputy set up a road block but that the combine driver rammed into the deputy’s patrol car. Ultimately, authorities fired at the combine to disable it.

have doubled over that time period in Kansas.

The same is true in Missouri, except for a oneyear drop in 2013.

The report says the key to reversing these trends is to prevent children from becoming overweight. It suggests a range of policies to promote better nutrition and more physical activity.

Other suggestions include expanding health care coverage for preventing and treating obesity; making healthy affordable food and safe places to be active more accessible in neighborhoods, such as through Complete Streets and healthy food financing initiatives; and increasing healthy food options through public-private partnerships.

There’s an unmistakable racial disparity in the numbers. Nationally, obesity rates are 38 percent higher among blacks than whites, and more than 26 percent

higher among Latinos than whites.

Age is clearly a factor, too. Obesity rates are 26 percent higher among middle-age adults than

among younger adults: Rates rise from 30 percent of 20- to 39-year-olds to nearly 40 percent of 40- to 59-year-olds.

Obesity puts some 78

million Americans at an increased risk for a range of health problems, including heart disease, diabetes and cancer.

Iola High School hosted the 39th Annual Doc Stiles Invitational on Tuesday afternoon at Allen Community College.

“This is the type of meet that will test you,” coach Marv Smith said of the race, which featured 25 area schools.

But the Mustangs and Fillies responded well to the midseason challenge. The varsity boys finished in second place as a team while both varsity girls finished in the top 10.

Yates Center’s varsity boys, who accumulated a team score of 47, finished just two points ahead of Iola to win the race.

Although the Mustangs’ No. 4 and No. 5 runners finished

ahead of the Wildcats’ last two runners, Yates Center made up for it by placing its other three runners in the top four — including first and second place.

Hadley Splechter and Brett Holloway finished No. 1 and No. 2 overall, respectively.

Splechter recorded a time of 17:39.32 while Holloway wasn’t too far behind with a 17:41.44.

Humboldt’s Joe Kline broke up a trio of Wildcats from finishing in the top three with a time of 17:51.79.

Still, Smith said he was well pleased with Iola’s performance.

“We ran really well,” Smith said. “We faded again in the last half-mile. We just have to make a little improvement in our conditioning in the sec-

ond half of the season.”

The 36th-year cross country coach added his varsity boys did a good job jumping out of the gate, but that quick start and competitive pace may have let the Mustangs run out of gas in the final stretch.

Braden Plumlee, who finished eighth overall and first for Iola with a 5k time of 18:37.12, paced the Mustangs from start to finish and helped others like Kendall Jay remain competitive.

Jay, who came in ninth place, finished just six seconds behind Plumlee and has established himself as a solid No. 2 runner for the Mustangs.

Iola finished 18 points ahead of third-place Humboldt.

Fillies face Santa Fe Trail, Osawatomie

By JONATHAN CZUPRYN The Iola Register

All three of Iola High’s volleyball teams (varsity, JV and freshman) were in action Tuesday night.

The varsity squad, coached by Emily Sigg, played two matches — losing one against Santa Fe Trail before earning a victory over Osawatomie.

In the Fillies two-set loss to the Chargers (25-20, 2510), Ashlie Shields recorded a team-high five kills while freshman Piper Moore wasn’t too far behind with three kills of her own.

McKaylie Cleaver had seven assists in the loss as well.

But Iola recovered in time to defeat Osawatomie in two sets (25-21, 25-13).

Shields was once again

the Fillies’ go-to option on offense with six kills. Sydney Wade and Mikaela Platt provided a boost as well by recording five kills each.

Cleaver added 10 more assists in the victory.

“We played so well as a team tonight,” Sigg said.

“The girls showed much improvement in playing together as well being scrappier. They kept their attitudes positive the whole time, which in volleyball, makes a big difference in games.

Even in the loss against Sante Fe Trail, we kept up and positive the whole time.

They really earned the win against Osawatomie.”

Iola’s JV squad won both of its games against Santa Fe Trail and Osawatomie.

The Fillies defeated the Chargers but needed three sets to do so (25-13, 18-25, 15-

7).

Colbi Riley led all players with seven aces.

Riley Murray, Karly McGuffin and Jayden Sigg each recorded three kills in the win.

The Fillies needed just two sets to put away the Trojans (26-24, 25-13).

Chloe Gardner had a teamhigh four aces. Murray led the Fillies with three kills.

As for the freshman team, Iola lost a closely fought battle against Santa Fe Trail in two sets (25-23, 25-19).

And in the second game of the night against Osawatomie, Iola’s freshmen once again remained competitive but fell in three sets (26-24, 15-25, 15-6).

Iola High’s volleyball program is back in action Thursday when it travels to Pittsburg.

NEW YORK (AP) — The lovable legend of Yogi Berra, that ain’t ever gonna be over.

T h e Hall of F a m e catcher renowned as much for his lovable, linguistically Yogi Berra dizzying “ Yo g i isms” as his unmatched 10 World Series championships with the New York Yankees, died Tuesday. He was 90.

Berra, who filled baseball’s record book as well as “Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations,” died of natural causes at his home in New Jersey, according to Dave Kaplan, the director of the Yogi Berra Museum.

Berra played in more World Series games than any other major leaguer, and was a three-time American League Most Valuable Player.

For many, though, he was even better known for all those amusing “Yogiisms.”

“It ain’t over ‘til it’s over” is among eight of them included in Bartlett’s.

Obama declares major disaster in CA fire MIDDLETOWN, Calif. (AP) — President Barack Obama declared a major disaster Tuesday in a Northern California wildfire that has destroyed at least 1,200 homes and killed at least three people.

The declaration issued for the fire that broke out in Lake County 90 miles north of San Francisco releases federal money for recovery and cleanup, including grant money for temporary housing and home repairs.

The devastating wildfire that started Sept. 12 ranks among California’s most destructive and stands at 79 percent contained with 118 square miles scorched.

Thousands of people fled their homes at the peak of the fire, and two men remain missing, according to the Lake County Sheriff ’s Office on Tuesday.

Sheriff Brian Martin said at a news conference Tuesday that his office had received reports of 15 people missing since the fire started. All have been accounted for except two men.

ing to respond. If it’s going to be tight or sore or stiff.

“You’ve got to pretty much know what you’re going to put out there especially when you get in the playoffs,” he said.

“It’s just decisions we have to make, but they are not easy decisions, trust me. But we just have other options.”

Holland, an All-Star in 2013 and ‘14 when he saved 93 games in 98 chances, has 32 saves in 37 opportunities this year with a 3.83 ERA. He was charged with a blown save and a loss Friday at Detroit, giving up two runs on three

hits and two walks in the 12th inning.

Holland’s velocity had dipped from the mid-90s mile per hour to the upper 80s and low 90s.

“Rest isn’t going to help him,” Yost said.

“He’s been functional through it all year long.

It’s getting a little more sore the last month or so and he continues to go out pitch through it and he’s been successful for the most part.”

Davis has 13 saves and in 14 opportunities and a 7-1 record with a 0.88 ERA. “He knows he can handle the ninth inning,” Yost said.

Also, Second baseman Omar Infante, who has not played since Friday, has a grade oneplus oblique strain.

“Those things are generally from two weeks to four weeks,” Yost said.

“So there’s still hope he can heal up and be ready for the back end of the playoffs.”

Infante hit .220 with a .234 on-base percentage in 124 games.

Ben Zobrist has replaced him at second base and his hitting .308 with a .389 on-base percentage in 47 games with the Royals after being acquired in a July 28 trade with Oakland.

As for the varsity girls, the Fillies don’t have enough runners to qualify for a team score.

But Megan Klubek and Abigail Taylor recorded strong individual scores, placing ninth and 10th, respectively.

Klubek finished her 5k in 22:49.13 while Taylor came in at 23:05.16.

“They’re really good for each other because whatever Megan is doing, Abigail is going to give 100 percent to be right there with her,” Smith said. “And both girls are real competitive.”

Averi Wilson of Anderson County finished first overall in the varsity girls race with a time of 19:38.99, which helped the Bulldogs finish second as a team.

Fort Scott placed first — beating Anderson County by just one point — with all five of its runners finishing in

the top 20. Coffeyville finished in third place, but trailed far behind the top two schools.

Fort Scott recorded 30 points, Anderson County had 31 and Coffeyville had 66.

In the JV races, Aubri Piccini of Pittsburg won the girls’ 5k with a 24:21.21. Gavin Smith of Fort Scott won the boys’ 5k with a 20:29.67.

Iola’s Olivia Taylor earned a fifth-place finish with a 25:24.48. Taylor was the Fillies only JV girls competitor. On the boys’ side, Jonathan Rodewald finished 22nd overall and Jackson Cone came in 35th.

Finally, the middle school runners closed out the meet with the seventh graders running a mile while the eighth graders ran a two-mile race.

Iola’s Nathan Louk, Jack Adams and Riley Jay finished 1-2-3 overall in the seventhgrade boys race. Louk recorded a 6:12 mile time, and Adams was seven seconds behind while Jay was 12 seconds behind Adams.

Averie Sharon and Kailey Schinstock led the seventh-grade girls for Iola by finishing second and fourth overall, respectively.

In the eighth-grade two-mile race, Calvin Delich (12:17) and Ely-

sia Kunkler were Iola’s top runners for the boys and girls, respectively. Each runner placed second overall.

Smith said his middle schoolers’ ultracompetitive attitude in practice helped them dominate their respective races on Tuesday.

“They don’t understand that they’re not supposed to be doing what the varsity is doing in practice,” Smith said. “But they keep up.”

Some of the area’s most elite runners were held out of the Doc Stiles Invitational because of the upcoming Rim Rock Farm Classic in Lawrence on Saturday.

Smith said it’s difficult for runners to record two solid races in the same week so he expected some competitors to miss Tuesday’s event. But he added the meet was an overall success because of Iola’s own accomplishments and the number of schools that attended.

Smith said he wanted to thank Allen Community College for hosting the meet and Red Devils cross country coach Vince DeGrado for helping to organize the event.

Full results from the event will be in Thursday’s paper.

they’ll say, ‘Dad, you just said another one.’

And I don’t even know what the heck I said,” Berra insisted.

Short, squat and with a homely mug, Berra was a Yankees great who helped the team reach 14 World Series during his 18 seasons in the Bronx.

“While we mourn the loss of our father, grandfather and great-grandfather, we know he is at peace with Mom,” Berra’s family said in a statement released by the museum. “We celebrate his remarkable life, and are thankful he meant so much to so many. He will truly be missed.”

Berra served on a gunboat supporting the D-Day invasion in 1944 and played for the Yankees from 1946-63. His teammates included fellow Hall of Famers Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle and Whitey Ford.

“No! Say it ain’t so.

He was a good man, my former manager and friend! RIP Yogi,” former Yankees star Dave Winfield tweeted.

Lawrence Peter Berra, the son of Italian immigrants, got his nickname while growing up in St. Louis. Among his amateur baseball teammates was Jack McGuire, another future big leaguer.

“Some of us went to a movie with a yogi in it and afterwards Jack began calling me Yogi.

It stuck,” Berra told the Saturday Evening Post.

He was a fan favorite, especially with children, and the cartoon character Yogi Bear was named after him.

Until recent years, he remained a fixture at Yankee Stadium and in the clubhouse, where the likes of Derek Jeter, Joe Torre and others in pinstripes looked up to the diminutive oldtimer.

In 1956, Berra caught the only perfect game in World Series history and after the last out leaped into pitcher Don Larsen’s arms. The famous moment is still often replayed on baseball broadcasts.

After his playing days, Berra coached or managed the Yankees, New York Mets and Houston Astros. He led both the Yankees and Mets to pennants.

In 1985, his firing as manager by the Yankees 16 games into the season sparked a feud with George Steinbrenner. Berra vowed never to return to Yankee Stadium as long as

Steinbrenner owned the team.

But in 1999, Berra finally relented, throwing out the ceremonial first pitch of the Yankees’ season-opener.

“We are deeply saddened by the loss of a Yankees legend and American hero, Yogi Berra,” the Yankees posted on Twitter.

Berra, who played in 15 straight All-Star Games, never earned more than $65,000 a season. He died on the same date, Sept. 22, as his big league debut 69 years earlier.

Growing up, he was anything but a natural.

Chunky and slow, Berra was rejected by his hometown St. Louis Cardinals after a tryout in 1943. But a Yankees scout recognized his potential and signed him.

borer in a brickyard, and Pauline Berra. He grew up in “The Hill,” or Italian district, with three older brothers and a younger sister.

Berra was forced to drop out of school in the eighth grade and go to work to help support his family. He took jobs in a coal yard, as a truck driver and in a shoe factory.

He continued to play amateur baseball, which brought him to the attention of major league scouts.

In 1943, his first professional season with the Yankees’ farm team in Norfolk, Virginia, was interrupted by World War II. Berra married his wife, Carmen, in 1949.

The couple met in their native St. Louis. Carmen died in 2014. Yogi is

We celebrate his remarkable life, and are thankful he meant so much to so many. He will truly be missed.

— Berra family statement

He reached the majors late in the 1946 season and homered in his first at-bat. The next year, he continued to hit well, but his throwing was so erratic he was shifted to the outfield, then benched.

His breakthrough season came in 1948, when he hit .315 with 14 homers and 98 RBIs while improving his fielding. In 1949, he compiled a .989 fielding percentage and did not make an error in the All-Star Game or World Series.

“I don’t care who the hitter is,” Yankees Hall of Fame manager Casey Stengel told the New York Journal-American, “(Berra) knows just how he should be pitched to.”

Berra was the AL MVP in 1951, 1954 and 1955. He holds World Series records for most hits (71) and games (75).

He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1972.

“You never think of that when you’re a kid,” Berra said. “But egads, you gotta be somethin’ to get in.”

Among his boyhood friends was Joe Garagiola, who went on to a career as a major league player and broadcaster.

In rejecting Berra at the 1943 tryout, the Cardinals signed Garagiola, another catcher, instead.

Berra was born in St. Louis on May 12, 1925, the son of Pietro, a la-

survived by their three sons.

Dale Berra, a major league infielder, who briefly played for his father on the Yankees in 1985; Tim, who played one season for the NFL’s Baltimore Colts, and Lawrence Jr. Berra published three books: his autobiography in 1961, “It Ain’t Over ...” in 1989 and “The Yogi Book: I Really Didn’t Say Everything I Said” in 1998.

The last made The New York Times’ best seller list.

In 1996, Berra was awarded an honorary doctorate from the state university in Montclair, N.J., where he and his family lived. The university also named its baseball stadium for Berra. The adjoining Yogi Berra Museum opened in 1998.

The museum houses Berra memorabilia, including what he said was his most prized possession, the mitt he used to catch Larsen’s perfect game.

He tickled TV viewers in recent years by bringing his malapropisms to a commercial with the AFLAC duck. (“They give you cash, which is just as good as money.”)

His wife once asked Berra where he wanted to be buried, in St. Louis, New York or Montclair.

“I don’t know,” he said. “Why don’t you surprise me?”

Pope arrives in US, welcomed by Obama WA S H I N G T O N (TNS) — Pope Francis arrived from Cuba on Tuesday to start a sixday, three-city tour of America, his first official visit to a nation bitterly divided on global warming, income inequality and other contentious issues that the popular pontiff is likely to champion.

President Barack Obama and his family, as well as Vice President Joe Biden and his grandchildren, welcomed Francis with handshakes and an honor guard at the military’s Joint Base Andrews, just outside the capital. A crowd of well-wishers chanted, “Ho ho! Hey hey! Welcome to the USA!” The 78-year-old pope clutched his white skullcap, called a zucchetto, in his hand as a stiff wind whipped his white hair and cassock.

He and Obama conversed but did not speak to the crowd before Francis climbed into a modest Fiat sedan and, waving from the window, was driven off to spend the night at the Vatican’s diplomatic mission, leaving Obama on the runway.

The brief red carpet ceremony was a heady departure from staid White House protocol, one that reflects the global celebrity and unusual appeal of the first Latin American pope.

Officials are bracing for record-sized crowds, traffic nightmares and bustling vendors when the pontiff rides in his open “popemobile” near the White House, when he celebrates Mass at cavernous Madison Square Garden in New York City, and when he presides over an open air Festival of the Families on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia, among other stops on a packed itinerary.

For Francis, the visit marks an important effort to revitalize the American Catholic Church, which has been weakened by the sexual abuse scandal and challenged by parishioners who hold more liberal views on contraception, gay marriage, and other social issues.

The Argentine-born pope also has a unique opportunity to reach Latinos, the fastest growing group of Catholics in America, who are giving churches their vitality.

U.S. political leaders, in turn, have tried to capitalize on Francis’ immense popularity and moral authority, seizing issues that align most closely with their own agendas.

In his 2 plus years as pope, Francis has stressed alleviating poverty and saving the Earth more than traditional teachings against abortion and for traditional families.

As a result, when he visits the White House early today as his first official stop, he will face some Americans whom previous popes almost certainly would have avoided.

Obama has invited several pro-choice Catholics, transgender activists and advocates for gay marriage to join a reception on the South Lawn, despite their doctrinal differences with Francis,

who recently called the rise of LGBT equality “a new sin against God.” While some U.S. critics expressed outrage at the invitations, a Vatican spokesman denied reports that the pope’s aides had objected. The Vatican “never comments on those invited by a head of state to be present for a welcoming ceremony of the pope,” said Father Thomas Rosica.

But Vatican officials have hinted that Francis may use his address to both houses of Congress on Thursday — the first pope to do so — or another stop in Washington to speak about the sanctity of life and his opposition to capital punishment, issues where he is at odds with Obama.

“This pope is a very independent figure, and we know from his previous travels that

tem’s use of floggings and imprisonment for those who tried to leave, and to the spread of deadly diseases among the natives. Serra’s supporters say he should be judged as a man of his times, who had flaws but tried to protect native peoples from rape and other crimes by Spanish soldiers.

we don’t know what he’s going to say until he says it,” said Charlie Kupchan, a top national security adviser to Obama. “And in that respect, we are fully expecting that there will be some messages with which we may respectfully disagree or have differences.”

For all his popularity, Francis will fuel a controversy today when he canonizes Father Junipero Serra, an 18th-century Franciscan missionary who established the California mission system that helped transform the West.

The ceremony, conducted in Spanish in recognition of Latinos’ growing role in the church, will mark the first such ceremony on U.S. soil, and Serra will be only the 11th Catholic saint with connections to the United States or the colonial era, according to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

But making Serra a saint has angered some Native Americans who point to the mission sys-

Vatican, and the pope subsequently helped broker a diplomatic detente between the United States and Cuba that ended more than five decades of official estrangement when diplomatic ties were restored this summer.

Obama came away from that first meeting speaking of empathy, of the “ability to stand in somebody else’s shoes and to care for someone even if they don’t look like you or share your philosophy.”

The two leaders also agree on the need to slow the burning of fossil fuels to combat climate change, to do more to reduce poverty and income inequality, and on the need for reforming immigration and prisons to ease suffering.

During planning for the papal visit, administration officials could scarcely hide their hopes for what it might mean for their joint agenda.

“On many of the big-ticket items,” Kupchan said, “like climate change, like fighting

inequality, like fighting poverty, like reaching out to people in distress and people in need, his essential messages will resonate very much with the president’s agenda. And in that respect, we are hoping that his moral authority helps us advance many of the items that we take to be very high on our policy agenda.”

Congressional Republicans, who failed to advance a vote Tuesday to outlaw abortion after 20 weeks, have seized on Francis’ focus on the sanctity of life and his defense of other conservative church doctrine, including opposition to same-sex marriage.

At the same time, Roman Catholics in the GOP presidential field publicly staked out their differences with him.

“I just think the pope was wrong,” New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said about the U.S. diplomatic thaw with Cuba.

“The pope as an individual has political opinions,” Florida Sen. Marco Rubio said. “And those, of course, we are free to disagree with.”

For their part, congressional Democrats released several videos Tuesday urging Francis to use his address to Congress to advance immigration reform, anti-poverty initiatives and climate change.

Advisors to the president recoiled a bit from the political debate swirling around the pope’s arrival and insisted that he was not coming to help Obama’s political agenda.

“This is an opportunity for two men who have so many values in common to talk about the efforts that they are taking in their respective and quite different roles to advance those shared values,” White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said.

Strange ‘pimples’ may be rare disease Dear Dr. Roach: After having several strangelooking “pimples” on my thighs and one on my face, I was told it is lymphomatoid papulosis. One or two people in a million are diagnosed with this. I know that it is not contagious, but what is it? What causes it, how is it treated, and what can I do to avoid these? They take weeks to heal. — R.R. Answer: Lymphomatoid papulosis is a rare disease. It is in the category of cutaneous lymphoproliferative disorders. It is a chronic disease, and lasts years or even decades. The underlying cause is not known exactly, but it is related in many ways to other lymphoproliferative diseases, such as mycosis fungoides and Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

The cells of the skin lesions you notice have similar genetic rearrangements as lymphoma cells. Fortunately, LyP has an excellent prognosis, although people with LyP are at

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health increased risk for developing one of these serious conditions.

The papules of LyP can appear on the extremities or the hands and face, and less commonly on other places on the body. They may start off as small red papules, get larger and then crust over. Often, several exist at different stages.

Diagnosis may not be easy, as it takes an experienced dermatopathologist (pathologist with special training in skin diseases) and enough tissue to look at the genetics of the cells. Treatment is not necessary for every person with LyP. But for those who do require it, one might be ultraviolet-light treatment. More severe cases may require methotrexate, but this needs to be managed by an expert.

Experts have rec-

ommended six-month visits to evaluate for early signs of enlarging lymph nodes, which might indicate the development of a lymphoproliferative disorder.

Dear Dr. Roach: Last year, my husband was seriously ill from a bacterial infection in his gallbladder. After inserting a drainage tube, they removed his gallbladder.

He has done quite well, except for a strange side effect: Whenever he eats, it causes his left shoulder to hurt. Also, when he lies on his right side, it seems to hurt his left shoulder. Do you have an explanation for this mystery? — L.F. Answer: I have a possible explanation. The pain nerves to your skin and bones are referred to as parietal pain fibers, and these localize very well: If your left toe hurts, there’s usually a problem with your left toe. The nerves to the organs are visceral fibers, and they do not localize well in the brain. Pain in the heart can feel

like it’s in the left upper arm, the left side of the chest or the upper abdomen, depending on who you are. Pain from the gallbladder most commonly shows up in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen, where it is directly under the liver, but frequently feels like it is coming from the shoulder. This is called “referred” pain. Rightshoulder pain is more common than left, but I still think that your husband is feeling some referred pain, perhaps from some scar tissue.

Dear Dr. Roach: Can skim milk or oat bran cause gas? — J.R. Answer: Both certainly can cause gas.

Skim milk contains the milk sugar lactose, to which many people are intolerant. In mild cases, it causes some gas; severe cases can cause diarrhea. Oat bran is a good fiber source, and all good sources of fiber can cause gas, especially if taken in amounts that are greater than the person is used to.

Federal judge rules ‘Happy Birthday’ song in public domain LOS ANGELES (AP) — The music publishing company that has been collecting royalties on the song “Happy Birthday To You” for years does not hold a valid copyright on the lyrics to the tune that is one of the mostly widely sung in the world, a federal judge ruled Tuesday.

U.S. District Judge George H. King determined the song’s origi-

nal copyright, obtained by the Clayton F. Summy Co. from the song’s writers, only covered specific piano arrangements of the song and not its lyrics. The basic tune of the song, derived from another popular children’s song, “Good Morning to All,” has long been in the public domain.

King’s decision comes in a lawsuit filed two years ago by Good Morning To You Productions Corp., which is working on a documentary film tentatively titled “Happy Birthday.” The company challenged the copyright now held by Warner/Chappell Music Inc., arguing that the song should be “dedicat-

ed to public use and in the public domain.”

“Because Summy Co. never acquired the rights to the ‘Happy Birthday’ lyrics, defendants, as Summy Co.’s purported successorsin-interest, do not own a valid copyright in the Happy Birthday lyrics,” King concluded in his 43-page ruling.
