Businesses seek county’s assistance Rough road rankles resident

An existing business and one proposed have lost no time in seeking assistance from a new Allen County economic development fund, but first, guidelines for how the money will be awarded and a committee to winnow applicants have to be named. Regina Lance came to Tuesday’s commission meeting with a well-prepared presentation outlining substantial upgrades to Mildred Store, the iconic business that at better than 100 years is among the oldest continuous establishments in the county.

Debate on tax, school bills today

By ANDREW TAYLOR The Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — Top officials in President Donald Trump’s Cabinet are heading to Capitol Hill to defend his plans to cut domestic programs and parry Democratic criti- Mick Mulvaney cism of his tax proposals. Budget Director Mick Mulvaney appears today before the House Budget panel while Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin will testify at the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee. The budget contains virtually no further detail on taxes beyond the cuts the administration proposed in a one-page outline last month. Trump on Tuesday released a 10-year budget plan containing jarring, politically unrealistic cuts to the social safety net and a broad swath of domestic programs. The plan, Trump’s first as president, combines $4.1 trillion for the upcoming 2018 fiscal year with a promise to bring the budget back into balance in 10 years, relying on aggressive spending cuts, a surge in economic growth — and a $2 trillion-plus accounting gimmick. Trump’s budget is simply a proposal. There’s little appetite among Capitol Hill Republicans for a genuine effort to balance the budget; GOP lawmakers this year are instead pressing to rewrite the tax code and forge a spending deal with Democrats that would permit higher military spending. Trump’s budget holds true to his campaign pledge to leave Medicare and Social Se-

crete leveled to give a good transition from one to another,” Sorenson said of recently installed segments that do not lay flush with the road. Commissioner Jerry Daniels mentioned KDOT plans were for improvements from Iola on south, but with no definite schedule. Williams interjected that the Kansas Legislature’s raiding of the Kansas Department of Transportation funds has left the department in disarray. “I just wanted to go on record about the highway,”

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas lawmakers are preparing to consider a new plan for raising taxes to fix the state budget and another measure that would boost spending on public schools. The House was scheduled today to debate the two biggest issues remaining. House and Senate negotiators agreed Tuesday night on details of a plan for raising $948 million over two years. The plan would increase income and liquor taxes and would impose the state’s sales tax on a few services. The education measure would phase in a $280 million increase in spending on schools over two years. Kansas faces projected budget shortfalls totaling $887 million through June 2019, and the state Supreme Court has said funding for public schools is inadequate.

Back in the classroom By SHELLIE SMITLEY The Iola Register

HUMBOLDT — This is part nine of a 14-part series following Nina Froggatte’s journey through police training at the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center, Hutchinson. It was back to the classroom after just a tease of more intense training for Nina Froggate last week. “It’s kind of hard to go back to the classroom after being at the range even though that is what I did for the first two months,” Frogratte said. Last week’s lessons included lectures on Standardized Field So-

briety Tests. “ Yo u have to be really thoro u g h w i t h f i e l d Froggatte testing,” she said, adding that the procedures are so detailed that the actual breathalyzer step is often superfluous. Froggatte is looking forward to the extra time at home over Memorial Day weekend. When she returns Tuesday, she will be just three and a half weeks shy of completing the program. “I think the last few weeks will be pretty downhill,” she said.

Brennan gave warning WASHINGTON (AP) — Former CIA Director John Brennan told Congress Tuesday he personally warned Russia last summer against interfering in the U.S. presidential election and was so concerned about Russian contacts with people involved in Donald Trump’s campaign that he convened top counterintelligence officials to focus on them. Meanwhile, a Senate committee issued two additional subpoenas to businesses of ousted Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, one of several key figures in the Russia-Trump campaign probe, and sent a letter to his lawyer questioning his basis for claiming a Fifth Amendment right not to provide documents. If there is no response from Flynn, the Senate Intelligence Committee may consider a contempt-of-Congress charge, said Chairman Richard Burr of North Carolina. Tuesday’s letter narrowed the scope of the documents the panel

Today

is seeking. Flynn had rejected the earlier subpoena for records as being so broad that providing them could make him vulnerable. Former CIA chief Brennan’s testimony to the House intelligence committee was the clearest public indication yet of the significance the Russia contacts play in counterintelligence investigations that continue to hang over the White House. Brennan, who was President Barack Obama’s CIA director, said he couldn’t say whether there was collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign. “I don’t have sufficient information (on that),” Brennan said. “But I know there was a basis to have individuals pull those threads.” Brennan noted anew that U.S. intelligence agencies had concluded “Russia’s goals were to undermine public faith in the U.S. democratic process. It should be clear to everyone that Russia brazenly interfered in our 2016 election process,” he said.

Committee advances bill to keep gun ban at some health facilities By STEPHEN KORANDA Kansas News Service

The Kansas Senate Ways and Means Committee on Tuesday advanced a bill that would allow public health care facilities to continue to ban concealed guns. A state law taking effect July 1 will allow people to carry concealed guns into any public building that is not secured by armed guards and metal detectors. The bill that advanced Tuesday would allow guns to be banned at state-run psychiatric hospitals, publicly owned medical facilities and the University of Kansas Health System. This bill is similar to a measure that was debated and amended last week, then sent back to committee for more work. During Tuesday’s committee meeting, some lawmakers have agreed not to offer amendments to the bill in order to increase its chances of becoming law. However, the plan

A Kansas Senate committee advanced a bill Tuesday that would exempt public health care facilities from a law requiring them to allow concealed handguns. still faces a hurdle because the powerful National Rifle Association is not on board. Republican Sen. Carolyn McGinn, chairwoman of the committee, hopes that leaving the bill focused on health care facilities and state psychiatric hospitals will reduce opposition. She said it would be expensive to install security at large medical facilities. “This is specifically tied to saving the state

dollars on security at campuses that do not have just one entrance. They have multiple entrances,” McGinn said. Democratic Sen. Tom Hawk would like to also exempt colleges and universities from the concealed weapons law, but he has agreed not to propose that if other people also do not suggest amendments. “I’m willing to play nice with my colleagues to get this bill through,” Hawk said.

The concern for lawmakers like Democratic Sen. Laura Kelly is that expanding the bill to include college campuses could mean the plan fails or faces a veto from Gov. Sam Brownback. “This is the most we can get,” Kelly said. “I’m

not interested in having something else go down and take the hospital exemption with it.” Kelly hopes there will be future efforts to exempt college campuses from the law but suspects that won’t happen this session. Although the bill is being pushed as an agreement that could become law, the powerful National Rifle Association is not on board. Former Republican House member Travis Couture-Lovelady is now a lobbyist for the NRA, and he had a hand in efforts to find a compromise. He said the NRA would agree to ban guns in select areas of the state’s psychiatric hospitals and KU health facilities. But he said the organization opposes the

bill that advanced out of committee because it allows too many buildings to block people from carrying guns for selfdefense. “If you’re going to restrict law-abiding citizens’ ability to defend themselves in that building, you should provide the security to show that nobody in that building is carrying,” CoutureLovelady said. Simply banning guns in the health care facilities won’t stop people who are intent on violating the rule, he said. “We believe that just putting a sticker on the door and hoping folks don’t carry in there isn’t enough. You need some kind of security,” said Couture-Lovelady. The full Kansas Senate could consider the bill in the coming days.

UK steps up military patrols MANCHESTER, England (AP) — British security forces arrested three more suspects today in connection with the Manchester concert bombing and sent hundreds of soldiers to secure key sites across the country, including Buckingham Palace and the British Parliament at Westminster. Home Secretary Amber Rudd said the bomber, identified as Britishborn Libyan Salman Abedi, “likely” did not act alone when he killed 22 people and wounded dozens at an Ariana Grande concert Monday night in Manchester. She said he had been known to security forces “up to a point.” Many at the concert were young girls and teens enthralled by Grande’s pop power. The youngest victim of the bombing named so far was just 8 years old. Officials are examining Abedi’s trips to Libya and possibly Syria as they piece together his allegiances and try to foil any new potential threats. The government said nearly 1,000 soldiers were deployed today instead of police in highprofile sites in London and other locations. Police said three men were arrested today in south Manchester, where a day earlier a 23-year-old man was also arrested and a number of homes were searched. Britain raised its threat level from terrorism to “critical” after an emergency government meeting late Tuesday

Many at the concert were young girls and teens. . . . The youngest victim of the bombing named so far was just 8 years old.

amid concerns that the 22-year-old Abedi may have accomplices who are planning another attack. The changing of the guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace was canceled today so police officers can be re-deployed, Britain’s defense ministry said. The traditional ceremony is a major tourist attraction in London. The Palace of Westminster, which houses the British Parliament in London, was also closed today to all those without passes, and tours and events there were cancelled until further notice. Armed police were also seen on patrol outside St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, another popular tourist spot. The Chelsea soccer team announced it would cancel Sunday’s victory parade in London that was to have celebrated the team’s Premier League title win this season. Suicide bomber Abedi was born in Britain to a Libyan family, grew up in Manchester’s southern suburbs and once attended Salford University there.

British Prime Minister Theresa May chaired a meeting today of her emergency security cabinet group to talk about intelligence reports on Abedi and concerns that he might have had outside support. Officials are probing how often Abedi had traveled to Libya, which has seen an eruption of armed Islamist groups since dictator Moammar Gadhafi was overthrown and killed in 2011. France’s interior minister said Abedi is believed to have traveled to Syria and had “proven” links with the Islamic State group. British officials, however, have not commented on whether Abedi had links to IS or other extremist groups. Rudd said Britain’s increased official threat level will remain at “critical” as the investigation proceeds and won’t be lowered until security services are convinced there is no active plot in place. She also complained about U.S. officials leaking sensitive information about Abedi to the press. Rudd said Britain’s operational security could be harmed by the leaks, taking “the element of surprise” away from security services and police. “I have been very clear with our friends that that should not happen again,” she said.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Dreams don’t come easy In an almost confessionary tone, Martha Davis told a group of Allen Countians last Friday morning of what she viewed as a unique experience that left her feeling a tad guilty. “I found myself feeling jealous of what you have,” Davis said. In her Martha Davis role with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation — one of the world’s largest — the Philadelphian has seen much of what the world has to offer. Even so, Davis found herself in awe as she jogged along the Southwind Trail, delighting in the still quiet of the early morning where the only intrusions were rabbits darting across the trail or a friendly robin chirping good morning. “You have built a dream,” she said. BUT IT ALMOST didn’t happen. Flash back 25 years when the seeds were being sewn for converting the long-defunct Santa Fe rail bed into a hiking and biking trail, made possible by a gift of KCT Railway of the railroad’s rights of way. The plan was to build a $4 million trail linking Iola and Ottawa and call it the Prairie Spirit Rail Trail. But it was not without its detractors. In one instance, some

2,000 opponents from Allen, Anderson and Franklin counties signed a letter to Gov. Joan Finney in 1994 stating their objections to the segment from Welda to Richmond saying the trail would deprive landowners of their rights. At stake was an investment of $1.35 million, of which the federal government would provide $1.1 million. In the end, the greater good prevailed and today we have a growing network of trails that provide myriad recreational opportunities for young and old alike. AS A first-time visitor to Allen County, Davis, of course, was unaware of the obstacles the trails have faced. All she could see was this small corner of the world trying to make a difference not only with the trails but also with efforts such as the area’s farmers’ markets, community gardens, the Regional Rural Tech Center in LaHarpe, new playgrounds in Gas, LaHarpe and Humboldt, Moran’s new fitness center and an overall can-do spirit. Davis and four others associated with the foundation came this way to evaluate whether Allen County presents itself as a “Culture of Health” and thus qualifies for a prize. By being one of 11 finalists, we’ve learned we’re pointed in the right direction. For all who contribute to such efforts, take a bow. — Susan Lynn

Arts funding should be a national priority Advocates of public funding for the arts and humanities in the U.S. were horrified when President Trump released his proposed budget two months ago. The budget included an unprecedented call to eliminate funding for the National Endowment for the Arts and National Endowment for the Humanities, as well as the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (a critical source of revenue for PBS and NPR stations across the country). The NEA and NEH receive $296 million per year combined — less than 8 cents a month for each taxpayer. However, many American artists, curators, teachers and patrons were able to relax a bit when a bipartisan spending bill was passed earlier this month. Funding for the CPB remained constant while both the NEA and NEH were given $2 million increases. An article in the Los Angeles Times outlined why there has been staunch resistance to Trump’s cuts in Congress (even among many Republicans): “Most NEA funds go to support community arts groups in all 50 states, with rural, Republican-leaning states topping the lists of spending per person.” One of those rural, Republican-leaning states is Kansas. In May 2016, the NEA

State’s foster care needs oversight The state of Kansas can no longer ignore some of the problems that have long plagued the state’s foster care system — and this week the House of Representatives passed a measure to attempt to restore accountability to the system that cares for some of the state’s most vulnerable children. The bill, now in the Senate, creates a task force to increase oversight of private contractors who carry out state functions in child welfare, as well as oversee the Department of Children and Family Services’ effectiveness in practicing new laws and regulations. The House vote was unanimous in support of the move. “We can all agree it is time for action and solutions,” said Linda Gallagher, R-Lenexa. “The task force is intended not to just study the problems in the system and issue yet another report to go on the shelf. We have a thick file in our committee of many reports that have been issued in recent years about problems in the child welfare system. Instead, this task force is to study the issues

and then recommend ways to dren. improve the system.” That shouldn’t surprise There are more than 7,000 anyone since the mantra in children — a record — in the years past has been to save state’s foster care system, money at all costs — even if which has been riddled lately it means shortchanging the with discouraging examples state’s children.

awarded more than $82.3 million in grants for 1,148 projects throughout the country. These awards included $741,600 for four projects in Kansas, such as the Free State Festival in Lawrence, the Opera Academy of the Midwest in Wichita and a “multidisciplinary performing arts series at the Lied Center of Kansas.” In a smaller round of funding announced in December 2016, Kansas received six grants for a total of $110,000 that will support the HesstonBethel Performing Arts Series, the William Inge Center for the Arts in Independence and an exhibition at KU’s Spencer Museum of Art. Meanwhile, the Kansas Humanities Council receives roughly 80 percent of its funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The KHC is a powerful engine of cultural education and intellectual engagement in our state, supporting the widespread availability of everything from free lectures and book discussions to free documentaries about Kansas history to the preservation of our culture. In 2016 alone, the KHC offered more than 700 programs to 400,000 people across the state — every single one of which was free. The KHC has also produced oral histories (interviews with Kansans affected

by historical events) on the Boeing closure in Wichita and the 60th anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education decision — recordings that will be preserved at the Library of Congress. White House Budget Director Mick Mulvaney defended Trump’s budget by explaining that it’s unfair to ask everyone to subsidize the arts and humanities: “Can we really continue to ask a coal miner in West Virginia or a single mom in Detroit to pay for these programs?” For someone who claims to be speaking on behalf working- and middle-class Americans, Mulvaney sure doesn’t understand them. We recently published an article written by four Poet Laureates of Kansas, and they pointed to the warm reception they’ve received everywhere in Kansas: “Anyone who thinks of poetry as elitist should ride along with us to Colby (pop. 5,387), or Kinsley (1,457), or Glasco (498), and see how many farmers, miners, nurses, children and retirees fill up rooms.” Although the NEA and NEH have survived more than 100 days of the Trump administration, Kansans from Colby to Topeka need to keep reminding Washington that art and culture remain vital priorities in our state. — Topeka Capital-Journal

A case study in the value of learning CPR basics Even people who are “over the hill” should learn CPR — as a story from the Washington state town of Battle Ground attests. “Over the Hill” happens to be the name of a basketball league that plays there; members have to be at least 35. George Tierney is 69. And he is, not was, in part because when his heart stopped and he collapsed, other members of the league were prepared to act. As reported by The Columbian, they did CPR. Someone activated an automated external defibrillator. Someone called 911. A group went to the building door to flag down responders and let them in, saving time. “We’re thinking, there’s a lot of good things happening here,” said one of the paramedics. Those good things hap-

pened because people knew CPR — and because when the time came for action, they acted. Calling 911 is essential. Having the experts, both in the ambulance and in the hospital, is vital: Tierney got a quadruple bypass. And helping responders get where they need to be, for example by opening the door, is useful. But relying on the specialists to provide care isn’t enough. In cardiac arrest, every second that goes by is a second the victim gets closer to the grave. The person who can start treatment fastest is the person who is already there. And any of us might be that person. There’s no substitute for being prepared. Basic CPR courses are widely available; the American Red Cross is one place to start. — Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

curity pension benefits alone and contains spending increases for the military and veterans, but it treats most of the rest of the government as fair game. It foresees an overhaul of the tax code, which analysts say could direct most of its benefits to upper-income earners. Trump won support from GOP leaders. “Here’s what I’m happy about. We finally have a president who’s willing to actually even balance the budget,” said House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis. “At least we now have common objectives. Grow the economy, balance the budget.” Many rank-and-file Republicans recoiled from the cuts, however, which would squeeze foreign aid and domestic programs funded annually by Congress by about 10 percent next year and $1.4 trillion over the coming decade. Mulvaney, a former tea party congressman, is the driving force be-

of Medicaid cuts — on top of more than $800 billion in the Housepassed health care bill — could deny nursing home care to millions of elderly poor people. It would also force some people on Social Security’s disability program back into the workforce. Other cuts in Trump’s budget include $63 billion in cuts to pension benefits for federal workers by eliminating cost-of-living adjustments for most workers and requiring employees to make higher contributions. In agriculture, the proposed budget would limit subsidies to farmers, including for purchasing crop insurance, a move already attacked by farm state lawmakers.

Some $200 billion in federal infrastructure investments are promised to leverage another $800 billion in private investment, though the idea has yet to get much traction.

dred store totaled $156,000. The first phase is for new lighting, insulation and a walkin cooler, for a total of $16,000. New insulation, at $5,500, “would reduce our extreme summer air-conditioning bills,” she said, which often run better than $1,000 a month. On average, utilities are about $600 a month. Known for its sandwiches, piled dangerously high with meat, the store has become the go-to place for music and dancing the third Saturday of each month. The affairs draw mu-

sicians from far and wide who play country or “whatever they want,” said Loren. “I’m 58 and when I was a kid they had music in Savonburg and I still remember it well. I want kids today to remember Mildred,” for the same thing. The town, home to a thriving cement plant 100 years ago, has dwindled to the point of unincorporating and a population of about two dozen. Loren said they, and others, were working diligently to “clean up the town” and make it more community-oriented. “Your store is impor-

tant to Allen County,” said Commissioner Jerry Daniels. “I think it would be a perfect candidate for economic development funding,” under the existing business upgrade category. A LOST bid for sheriff of Linn County prompted the Gardners’ move to the Gas neighborhood. “I was a deputy and didn’t quite make it,” Gardner told the Register. His wife, Tina, had operated a restaurant, appropriately call Tina’s Place, for seven years before they moved. “It was a popular place, and I think

when we get the Gas building all redone it will be, too,” he said. He mentioned copper tubing carrying water and gas throughout the structure had been yanked out, apparently to sell for scrap, and the roof was leaking. Restaurant equipment belonging to the previous owners also was removed. That leaves the Gardners with substantial work before they may think about reopening the restaurant, perhaps “a year away.” “I think you would be great candidate” for county assistance, Daniels told them as well.

KU’s Jackson has penalties announced

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Former Kansas basketball player Josh Jackson must attend anger management classes, write a letter of apology and refrain from using alcohol or recreational drugs for a year as part of a diversion agreement arising from his confrontation with a Jayhawks women’s basketball player last year. Jackson, who is leaving Kansas after one season and is expected to be a top pick in next month’s NBA draft, had pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor count of criminal property damage after he argued with McKenzie Calvert on Dec. 9 outside a bar in Lawrence. Jackson signed the diversion agreement on April 26, according to Douglas County Court records obtained by The Kansas City Star . If he successfully completes the program, the case against him will be dismissed. He is required to complete the anger management class and community service by Oct. 31 and write the apology letter and obtain a substance abuse evaluation by June 30. If the evaluation doesn’t make any treatment recommendations, Jackson must complete alcohol information classes by Oct. 31. Jackson also signed a “stipSee JACKSON | Page B6

Just as most college athletes aspire to be on the NCAA Division-I level, the same can be said for a majority of college athletic directors. Iolan Kurt McGuffin will have that opportunity after accepting the athletic director position at the University of Tennessee-Martin. “I had internal goals to get back to Division-I,” McGuffin said. “It was just something that I felt I needed to do and make that jump to give Division-I another try.” McGuffin gets this chance

to the University of Colorado for a year where he served as the Assistant Athletic Director and Director of Athletic Development. In 2011, he got his chance to sit in the top spot as the Director of Athletics for Missouri Western State University and accomplished some tremendous projects for the university with a new football stadium, new baseball and softball complex and new indoor practice facility all being built on his watch.

The Iolan also likes the idea of relocating to Martin — a population of 11,000 — because it, in part, reminds him of Iola. “It is a smaller community,” McGuffin said. “I didn’t want to live in a big city, because all of my family is from smaller towns.” McGuffin started his career at Kansas State University in 2000 and rose to the level of Senior Associate Athletic Director for External Operations by 2010, before moving

NEW YORK (AP) — Danny Duffy noticed a flaw in his delivery a few weeks ago: His front hip was opening too soon and he was yanking pitches. “Obviously, it takes more than 30 pitches in a side session,” he said. “Repetition is everything.” Duffy’s mechanics seemed fixed. Duffy defeated the New York Yankees for the second time in a six-day span and rookie Jorge Bonifacio capped a three-run, seventh-inning rally with a goahead, two-run homer that led the Kansas City Royals

to a 6-2 victory Tuesday night. All scoring came on home runs. Lorenzo Cain, Whit Merrifield and Mike Moustakas also connected for the Royals, who went deep four times in a span of nine batters in the seventh and eighth. “You don’t have to manufacture runs when you can put some swings like that on the board,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. New York rookie Jordan Montgomery took a one-hit shutout and 2-0 lead into the seventh before a solo homer by Cain, who had been hitless in 14 at-bats. On the 22nd anniversary of Mariano Rivera’s major league debut, the Yankees’ usually reliable bullpen

flopped: Adam Warren (1-1), Jonathan Holder and Chasen Shreve all allowed long balls. Home runs by Aaron Hicks in the fourth and Chris Carter in the fifth staked New York to a 2-0 lead against Duffy (4-3). The 28-year-old left-hander struck out 10 in seven scoreless innings to beat Montgomery in Kansas City last week, and Duffy got a key out in the fifth Tuesday when Starlin Castro stranded the bases loaded with an inningending flyout. Duffy gave up two runs and See ROYALS | Page B6

Trump visits Pope VATICAN CITY (AP) — President Donald Trump and Pope Francis, two leaders with contrasting styles and differing worldviews, met at the Vatican today, setting aside their previous clashes to broadcast a tone of peace for an audience around the globe. Trump, midway through a grueling nine-day, maiden international journey, called upon the pontiff in a private, 30-minute meeting laden with religious symbolism and ancient protocol. The president, accompanied by his wife and several aides, arrived at the Vatican just after 8 a.m. local time. Upon completing their meeting, the pope gave the president a medal featuring an olive branch, a symbol of peace, among other gifts. “We can use peace,” the president responded. The visit began with a handshake after each man arrived, Trump in a lengthy motorcade, Francis in a Ford Focus. The president was heard thanking the pope and saying it was “a great honor” to be there. They posed for photographs and then sat down at the papal desk, the pope unsmiling, as their private meeting began. It ended a half hour later when Francis rang the bell in his private study. The pontiff was

then introduced to members of Trump’s delegation, including his wife Melania, his daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner, as well as aides Hope Hicks and Dan Scavino. Smiling for the staff, Francis had a light moment with the first lady, asking via translator, “What do you give him to eat, potica?” referring to a favorite papal dessert from her native Slovenia. The first lady laughed and said “Yes.” She and Ivanka covered their heads in a sign of papal respect, a gesture they did not partake in Saudi Arabia. As is tradition, the pope and president exchanged gifts. Trump presented the pontiff with a custom-bound, first-edition set of Martin Luther King Jr.’s works, an engraved stone from the King memorial in Washington and a bronze sculpture of a flowering lotus titled “Rising Above.” The pope presented Trump with the medal, a message of peace and three bound papal documents that to some degree define his papacy and priorities, including the family and the environment. The pope told Trump he signed the message “personally for you.” Trump said he would read the books.

Best weight loss includes exercise Dear Dr. Roach: When you lose weight through diet and exercise, where does the weight go? — L.A.J.

Dr. Keith Roach

To Your Good Answer: Weight gain Health

and weight loss in the very short term can be related to body fluid, but I think you are really talking about people who have made a long-term loss of, say, 10 pounds. Those 10 pounds can be fat or muscle. In people who are eating very few calories and not exercising, it will be a combination of both of these body components. Unfortunately, losing muscle is unhealthy, which is why it’s best to exercise in combination with changing the diet, so that the weight loss is all fat. I’ve had patients who have lost fat and gained muscle, who can be frustrated that their weight isn’t

going down, but in reality they are much, much healthier. From a physics standpoint (the study of medicine starts with physics and chemistry), a pound of fat represents about 3,500 calories. Eating 3,500 more calories than you expend means a pound of fat gain, while the reverse means a pound of weight loss. In weight loss, the fat is used to provide energy for the body’s metabolic processes and is (almost literally) burned away into carbon dioxide. However, the physics doesn’t properly address

the complexity of weight gain and loss in humans. Simply eating less and exercising more doesn’t lead to the expected weight loss, as the body has ways of adapting to lower food intake. Also, as people lose weight, their energy needs decrease further, and the “3,500 calories per pound” rule becomes a very poor approximation. Finally, the processes controlling eating behavior are complex, and in some people, the body uses every trick it can, including overpowering hunger, to stay at the same weight. For these reasons, I don’t find simply telling people to eat less and move more to always be an effective therapy. Dear Dr. Roach: I have been told by my doctor that I have prostate cancer. He has given me

two options: One is to have radioactive seeds implanted, and the other is to freeze the cancer. Which of these has the lower chance of erectile difficulty?— H.K.E. Answer: Radiation seed implants (called brachytherapy) and freezing (cryotherapy) are considered reasonable options for some men with localized prostate cancer. There probably are differences in effectiveness and in other side effects, which may make you consider how these treatments affect you and the cancer. However, in terms of sexual function, although I am unaware of them having been directly compared, my understanding of the literature suggests that brachytherapy has less risk of poor function.

Stuck in the middle of two former friends Dear Carolyn: Do you have any tips on how to navigate relationships with two friends who’ve stopped speaking to each other? I’m still friends with both. I spend more time with one, but actually tend to think he’s more at fault in the falling out. Should I completely butt out, or express my feelings to one or both? I basically just feel weird about the whole thing, but would like to stay friends with both people. — Friend Answer: I think it makes the most sense to stay friends with each as if neither is friends with the other, period -- as in, treat it as a “what” and not a “why.” If you’re ever unsure which one to invite to something, then invite both and let them sort it out. In the event the “why” becomes an issue, though, it’s fine to express your opinion, as long as you’re careful to acknowledge the limits of what you know. Stick to facts, not impressions, and ask for more information when you’re told something

Tell Me About It Carolyn Hax

that sounds incomplete. Not only is that a matter of simple fairness, but also any additional information allows you to refine and, where appropriate, voice your opinion with the I-don’t-knowthe-whole-story asterisk still in place. That is, unless you witnessed the falling-out event yourself: In that case, you can erase the asterisk from your opinions -- but that also means you should already have told the more-in-the-wrong friend your opinion of his more-wrongness. That is something we owe our friends — on both sides of a wrong. Hi, Carolyn: In one of your recent columns, a woman said her husband accused her of being “too much of a mom” as justification for an affair. I’m not condoning his ac-

tions, but I’ve heard many non-birth parents say it can feel very isolating seeing a mother and baby completely enmeshed all the time. Partners can often feel like they have lost their spouse to the child. How do you make a fair assessment of the situation? I don’t think it’s uncommon, and there are certainly some mothers whose lives become exclusively about motherhood. — Anonymous Answer: Absolutely, yes, it does happen. And when it does, adults point it out like adults and talk about it. They talk so they can find ways for both parents to spend more time together, one-on-one; they talk so they can come up with ways for the non-birth parent to spend more time bonding with the child; they talk so they can confirm their partnership as the foundation on which their child’s future will be built. If that conversation goes south, then it’s a matter for counseling, because it’s too important to write off as something

they’re “supposed to solve by themselves,” or whatever other excuses people use not to face difficult things. They talk about all of this as opposed to cheating and blaming a new mother for it because marital sex with her is too dull and she is too mom-y and the porridge is tooooo cold!!! -- which was the path chosen by the left-out parent in the column, which was adolescent at best.

makes the Mustangs as successful as they have been. Here are the major story lines going into Thursday’s matchup that could provide the reasons Iola either advances to Friday afternoon or is stopped in its tracks. POWERFUL 3-5 The Panthers don’t put up more than eight runs a game by accident. The middle of their lineup is as scary as any in the state. Center fielder Josh Salazar has moved into their three spot and has been spectacular, hitting .386 and getting on base in more than half of his at bats. “He is a left-handed batter and does a really good job getting on base,” Nickerson coach Brad Kelly said. Behind Salazar is the most intimidating Panther. Junior Kolbi Schrag is hitting .419 and has three of the team’s four home runs. “He is a big, stout kid who is put together well,” Kelly said. “He is the one guy in our lineup who has noticeable pop and bat speed when he swings. When he squares it up, even if he doesn’t hit it out, he hits it hard. He is the one guy that has consistent power.” In the five spot is the team’s senior leader Braden Stewart. The shortstop is hitting .486 this season despite being limited in the power department. “Braden can dragbunt, he can beat out slow choppers. He is just a good all-around athlete,” Kelly said. “That is why his batting average is so high. He bunts for base hits and does all the little things.” RUNNING GAME While the lineup takes a hit after Stewart, Kelly has been pleased with his team’s ability to create havoc on the bas-

Nickerson’s Carson Cornelius delivers a pitch to a Kingman batter on May 9 in Kingman. THE HUTCHINSON NEWS/ TRAVIS MORISSE es and use their speed to their advantage. “We have some team speed, so if we can find our way to first base, we feel that we can do some things offensively,” Kelly said. “We like to move guys around and score them. “There are always a few different ways to win games. Sometimes, we rely on more of the small-ball mentality where we are drag bunting and doing those things, which a lot of our guys can do. Fortunately for us, if one thing isn’t working, we can do different things at the plate to get ourselves going.” Lead-off hitter Tanner Schrag, Kolbi’s younger brother, plays a very different style from his brother and leads with 14 stolen bases. Kelly says his speed is key because he has been is a slump lately at the plate. “Through our first 10 games, he was hitting about .480,” Kelly said of the .385 hitter. “He went through a slump as we played some better teams. He has been making a comeback as of late.” Stewart has 13 stolen bases and left fielder Kaleb Jackson has 11. “Jackson is a smaller kid,” Kelly said. “He is really good with the bat. The reason we put him at No. 2 in the order is to lay down bunts and sacrifice. He is smaller so he hits the ball the other

way for the most part.” YOUNG ARMS The Panthers will go into the playoffs with their top two pitchers being sophomores, but they haven’t pitched like sophomores this season. Carson Cornelius is the team’s ace with an impressive 1.49 ERA this season with just nine walks to go with 44 strikeouts. Kelly indicated that the right-handed pitcher will get the ball on Thursday. “We don’t have anybody who is going to get 15 strikeouts a game,” Kelly said. “Our pitchers do a good job of keeping the ball down and throwing strikes. We pitch to contact.” Should Cornelius struggle, Tanner Schrag is the team’s No. 2 pitch-

er. The righty is another control pitcher who has a 1.76 ERA this year. “We have five or six guys we feel can come in and do a pretty good job for us,” Kelly said. The Panthers also have a left-handed specialist with Cam Crandall and if Calvin Delich or Coleson Wiggin come up in a big spot, it is possible that Kelly turns to Crandell. The senior doesn’t have the same control as their other arms with 15 walks in under 18 innings. “He is a 6’4” left hander that comes in and does a good job,” Kelly said. Stewart has the third most innings pitched on the team, but the senior has struggled overall with a 3.59 ERA and more walks that strikeouts.

McGuffin: New job Continued from B1

in 2012. “Obviously the facilities will always be here and that is the goal of anyone to go in and build things up,” McGuffin said. “But the relationships with coaches and student athletes, winning championships and increasing the GPA from 2.7 when I first started to over 3.05 now are some of the things that you embrace and relish the most.” Now the work be-

gins for McGuffin and the SkyHawk program, which has other ties to Iola with Ron Schomaker being inducted in the school’s Hall of Fame as a fullback in 1991. “At some point I knew I wanted to get back into Division-I and we will see where the University of Tennessee-Martin takes me. I may enjoy it and want to stay there the rest of my career. Being only 43 years old, I have a lot of work left ahead of me,” McGuffin said. “This is the right move for my family and me.”
