Scores killed in Italy earthquake AMATRICE, Italy (AP) — A strong earthquake in central Italy reduced three towns to rubble as people slept early today, with reports that as many as 50 people were killed and hundreds injured as rescue crews raced to dig out survivors.

The toll was likely to rise as crews reached homes in more remote hamlets where the scenes were apocalyptic

FIRST DAY JITTERS

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

The Environmental Protection Agency is hosting a public meeting Thursday evening to explain the ongoing soil remediation project in town.

The session begins at 6:30 at the Iola Public Library, 218 E. Madison Ave. Crews have been clearing 350 or so “highly contaminated” lead-tainted yards in town — polluted from the use of zinc smelters in the early 1900s.

Allen County commissioners paved the way to go another five years with the Rural Opportunity Zone program.

The ROZ designation is meant to lure prospective employees this way by helping them retire their student debt by up to $3,000 a year for up to five years by a partnership between local employers and a match by the county and state.

The scholarships are for students who are returning to Kansas after living elsewhere for five years or more.

HUMBOLDT – USD 258 board members approved the district’s 2016-17 budget Monday night. Then, after an executive session, awarded raises to classified personnel and administrators.

The budget, reported in detail previously in the Register, has an overall levy increase of slightly more than 3 mills, going from the just concluded year’s 52.691 to 55.726. A levy of 1 mill raises $11.50 in property taxes on residential property with a market value of $100,000.

Levy for the supplemental general fund (LOB) increased by nearly 7 mills — from 8.675 to

15.572 — because of cuts in education funding that cost the Humboldt district $250,000 in state aid for the LOB. Much of the levy increase was absorbed by the district having opportunity to lower it debt service levy from 16.016 mills to 12.154.

Total debt is $8.2 million: $3.74 million in general obligation bonds for the community field house and $2.424 in a lease-purchase agreement for the athletic complex at the east edge of town.

The general fund levy has been unchanged for several years. It is assessed at 20 mills statewide, with revenue going to Topeka and into a revenue pool that provide statewide state aid.

a patient’s throat.

“A video shows you exactly how to go down into a patient’s larynx and find the voice box,” Lewis said.

“Then you simply slip the tube in.”

Such technology is a significant improvement over the former method and what Lewis referred to as a “blind intubation.”

Typically, anesthetists or anesthesiologists administer the devices, Lewis said.

A PODIATRIST and dermatologist are in the process of joining hospital ranks visiting patients two days a week, said Tony Thompson, the hospital’s chief executive officer.

Dr. David Dowell is a podiatrist and Dr. Jacqueline Youtsos practices both medical and cosmetic dermatology.

“We continue to try to attract an endocrinologist and someone in obstetrics and gynecology,” Thompson said.

Dr. Brian Neely, a local physician who works out of the hospital’s clinic, Allen County Regional Clinic, will begin seeing patients in Humboldt in the near future, Thompson said. The hospital has had a clinic on the east side of the Humboldt square for years, but it has been inactive for the last several.

The hospital also is sponsoring a health fair for employees of the City of Iola on Oct. 19.

TRUSTEES approved going with Cromwell Architects

of Little Rock, Ark., to draw up a schematic design of a new medical office building that will be situated on grounds of the new hospital north of town.

The building will provide offices and exam rooms for the many specialists that see patients in the area as well as the physicians associated with the hospital’s clinic on South Washington Street. Currently the visiting specialists, such as Dr. Layne Reusser, a cardiologist from Wichita, see patients at either the clinic at the site of the old hospital in downtown Iola or use empty patient or surgery rooms in the new hospital.

Neither is ideal, trustees said. The downtown site is a hassle because it then requires the specialists to see their patients in two sites — the clinic and the hospital. And seeing patients in makeshift rooms at the new hospital lacks a sense of permanency.

The new clinic is estimated to be anywhere from 15,000 to 19,000 square feet and blend in with the neighboring hospital.

“It will look as if it was built at the same time,” said Sean McReynolds, a trustee who serves on the committee investigating a new medical arts building.

The architects are the same who designed the new hospital in Garnett. Others considered at Aug. 17 presentations were Hoefer Wysocki of Overland Park and Health Facilities Group of Kansas City.

Following an executive session, board members gave classified personnel — paraprofessionals, janitors, secretaries, bus drivers and food service help – a 25-cent an hour raise. Administrators were given a 2.2 percent salary increase. Both

groups received an additional $8 a month for health insurance.

Administrators are Kay Lewis, superintendent; John Johnson, high school principal; Stephanie Splechter, middle school principal; Staci Hudlin, elementary principal.

Clinton donors detailed WASHINGTON (AP) — More than half the people outside the government who met with Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state gave money — either personally or through companies or groups — to the Clinton Foundation. It’s an extraordinary proportion indicating her possible ethics challenges if elected president.

At least 85 of 154 people from private interests who met or

had phone conversations scheduled with Clinton while she led the State Department donated to her family charity or pledged commitments to its international programs, according to a review of State Department calendars released so far to The Associated Press. Combined, the 85 donors contributed as much as $156 million. At least 40 donated more than $100,000 each, and 20 gave more than $1 million.

Horses and Possums and EPM, Oh My! Most horse owners have heard of EPM and know a little about it. I want to take a few minutes and educate you further on the topic.

EPM, or equine protozoal myeloencephalitis is a neurologic disease of horses from an organism called Sarcocystis Neurona (S. neurona). This protozoa’s life cycle involves the common opossum as the definitive host and other animals: cats, skunks, raccoons, as the intermediate hosts. The intermediate hosts do not pass the disease on to horses, but they assist the organism in completing its life cycle. The horse is a dead-end, or aberrant, host of this organism.

Horses typically contract the disease from ingesting opossum feces. This is commonly done when horses ingest contaminated hay or water.

The organism infects the horse by finding its way to the brain and spinal cord and damaging the nerve tissue. If a horse contracts EPM, they will typically show neurological signs such as ataxia, staggered or altered gait, lameness, muscle wasting, noises when breathing due to damage to the cranial nerves. The signs for EPM can range from very subtle to very obvious.

There is a blood test as well as a test utilizing cerebral spinal fluid to determine the horse’s immune response to the organisms. EPM is treatable, however there may be permanent neurologic damage to the horse. This disease can be very debilitating if not caught soon enough.

Furthermore, the treatment is fairly expensive.

Prevention is the best strategy for EPM. Horse owners should rid their properties of opossums and ensure clean, fresh hay and drinking water are present for the animals. Opossums are ubiquitous but can be devastating to an equine population, so the best management practices are to eliminate them.

For foodies, crunchy crickets are all the vogue ByMARISA KENDALL The Mercury News

SAN JOSE, Calif.

(TNS) — For Bay Area techies attuned to the latest trends, kale is no longer cutting it and quinoa is passe. Instead, many are opting for a six-legged snack.

In startup offices around the region, people are munching on crickets.

Proponents say the tiny, chirping bugs are high in protein and iron and can serve as a sustainable alternative to beef or chicken. It’s a movement that has people buzzing, with companies such as San Francisco-based Bitty Foods baking the bugs into cookies and chips, Tiny Farms in San Leandro breeding crickets for mass consumption, and New York-based Exo using them in protein bars. The products are showing up in Silicon Valley break rooms, and investors and entrepreneurs are paying close attention.

“I would say there’s a new company that launches every six months, maybe even more frequently than that,” said Exo co-founder Greg Sewitz.

Eating insects is nothing new. Fried grasshoppers, or chapulines, are a favorite in Mexico, and pushcarts offering everything from crickets to silk worms line the streets of Thailand.

But companies trying to market them in the U.S. must confront the

squeamishness most Westerners feel about bugs.

“The very first time I had crickets it was a little bit weird. And you always have in the back of your mind, ‘I wonder if there’s an antenna in this bar,’” said Bridget Sauer, who works in the San Francisco office of Teespring, an online custom T-shirt making platform. Sauer, a triathlete, now is hooked on peanut-butter-and-jellyflavored Exo bars.

Companies like Exo and Bitty are part of a larger trend of food startups that are replacing meat, gluten and dairy in everyday products. Investors have poured more than $500 million into companies such as plant-based imitation meat maker Impossible Foods of Redwood City and meal replacement Soylent, according to venture capital database CB Insights.

Impossible Foods has raised $183 million from big names including Bill Gates and Google Ventures, and Soylent raked in $21.5 million from backers including Andreessen Horowitz.

Investment in these next-generation food startups is on track to hit record growth this year, CB Insights analyst Zoe Leavitt wrote in an email.

C h o c o l a t e - c ove r e d insects and lollipops with bugs suspended in transparent, sugary candy have long been available as novelty items, but the cricketsas-protein movement began picking up steam in 2013 with a report by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

The report touted the nutritional benefits of insects and introduced them as a potential solution to a rapidly approaching problem — the world will house 9 billion people by 2050, forcing humans to nearly double their food production using a limited supply of land and water. Crickets need 12 times less feed than cattle and half as much as chickens to produce the same amount of protein. They require less water and space to farm, produce minimal amounts of greenhouse gases and can be fed organic waste, according to the report.

“Edible insects are one of the most sustainable forms of protein on the planet,” said Megan Miller, co-founder of San Francisco-based

A mature cricket. startup Bitty Foods.

But whether they can be used as a more environmentally friendly alternative to other meats will depend on how the insects are farmed and what they are fed. A report published last year by researchers with the University of California at Davis found more study is needed to evaluate the long-term potential of bugs as protein, and concluded “the potential for crickets to supplement the global supply of dietary protein appears to be more limited than has been recently suggested.”

Of the world’s 2,000 types of edible insects, crickets seem to be gaining the most traction in the U.S. They have a neutral flavor — “sort of nutty and toasty with a bit of earthiness,” Miller said — and aren’t as frightening as spiders or scorpions.

Bitty products use cricket flour, which is made by freezing a batch of crickets, dry-roasting them and grinding them into powder. The powder, which Miller says contains 70 grams of protein per cup — twice as much as beef — is mixed with coconut and cassava, a starchy root, to make a gluten-free baking flour.

Next month, snack delivery service SnackNation will ship thousands of Bitty’s cricket flour chips to offices around the country, including to Bay Area tech companies notorious for keeping their kitchens loaded with free food. Among the offices soon to be receiving cricket snacks are Palo Alto-based HP, San Francisco-based online real estate platform Opendoor and Southern California-based Walt Disney Animation Studios.

EPA: Public hearing to discuss soil cleanup effort Thursday will include an overview of the site and proposed remedies for the first hour.

At 7:30, the public will be permitted to ask questions about the project and potential health impacts.

Comments received during the public comment period will be considered before choosing the final remedy, Washburn said.

Public comments may cause EPA to choose a remedy that is different from what they have been doing.

Continued from A1

cleanup currently underway, explained Ben Washburn, an EPA spokesman.

The agency is required to present all alternatives to the public and ask for its input before proceeding. They are: — Continuing with the same cleanup process — excavation and disposal — that’s being utilized for highly contaminated soil, with costs projected at about $19 million; — Doing nothing at all with the remaining properties, which of course carries no cost; — Using a “phosphate stabilization” process in which phosphoric acid is mixed into the soil and allowed to react with the lead. Lime is then added to neutralize the acid.

The treatment converts the lead into a form that cannot be digested, and thus no longer hazardous to humans. The cost for phosphate stabiliza-

tion has been pegged at $36 million, with the caveat that ongoing soil monitoring afterward, Washburn said.

Thursday’s session

CREWS FROM Environmental Restoration have handled the cleanup effort so far, by digging down 2 feet of a tainted property to ensure all of the leadtainted soil is removed.

(If lead is still evident farther down, a special

liner is put in place to seal off the contamination.)

Once the “clean” dirt is in place, crews either place a layer of sod, or in isolated instances, seed the new soil to grass.

Lead tailings from zinc smelters that operated in the early 20th century has led to unsafe lead levels throughout the city, engineers concluded years ago, resulting in the EPA placing Iola on its National Priorities List in 2011.

WHILE the tainted soil has been contaminated for more than a century, the potential hazards remain an issue today.

Lead can enter the body by swallowing microscopic dust particles sticking to the hands or locally grown vegetables exposed to the

tainted soil, Washburn explained.

Washburn said young children are at the greatest risk. While physical symptoms may not be present, a child with a high blood lead level still can be adversely affected.

Lead poisoning can lead to a wide range of health issues, from headaches and stomach pain to behavioral problems and anemia. Lead also can affect a child’s developing brain.

Many people with lead poisoning show only mild symptoms or no symptoms at all.

Lead also can be absorbed through the lungs by breathing air contaminated with lead, which likely was a danger in Iola when the smelters were in operation, but probably no longer, Washburn noted.

death,” Stanley said.

“We’re ready for school to start so things can mellow a bit.”

Still to work out is the district’s “problem child,” the football field.

Though it looks considerably better, “it still has problems,” Stanley said, including fungus and worms.

“Last year they were Army worms. This year they’re smaller,” he said, adding that he is

confident a solution lies just around the corner.

Still to come will be the paving of all school parking lots at a cost of about $18,000 for a total of 10,000 square feet — “ballpark figure,” said Stanley.

ENROLLMENT at the career tech center for a construction trades class was 17. Of those, nine will be bused to the center outside of LaHarpe. The others live close enough to the

center they can provide their own transportation.

Jack Koehn, superintendent of schools, said he devised a rule that if the students live closer to the tech center than to the high school, then their transportation is up to them.

Tentative enrollment numbers show an increase of students from the previous two years by about 1 percent.

Currently there are 396 at Iola High School;

27 in the Crossroads virtual program; 221 in seventh and eighth grades; 183 in fifth and sixth grades; 507 in kindergarten through fourth grade, and 61 in the district’s two pre-schools, for a total of 1,356 students.

The graduating senior class has 82 students enrolled. The biggest class is eighth grade, with 119 enrolled.

So far only 187 of 404 middle school students have paid the $15 tech-

nology fee that enables the students to take home a Chromebook, the tablet on which their lessons will be conducted.

Of the high-schoolers, about half have paid the $25 tech fee for the same privilege.

“Once we hand them out, more kids will come forward,” predicted Stacey Fager, high school principal.

ABSENT ANY discussion from the public, board members passed

a $12 million budget for the 2016-17 school year, as was discussed in the Aug. 9 Register.

Board members also approved 2.5 percent raises for all non-teaching staff and administrators.

New hires include Ryan Latta, assistant baseball coach; Addie Haar, assistant high school volleyball coach, and Anthony Herrick, assistant football coach for seventh and eighth grades.

Quake: Dozens killed as Italian towns reduced to rubble Continued from A1

“like Dante’s Inferno,” according to one witness.

“The town isn’t here anymore,” said Sergio Pirozzi, the mayor of Amatrice. “I believe the toll will rise.”

The magnitude 6 quake struck at 3:36 a.m. and was felt across a broad swath of central Italy, including Rome, where residents felt a long swaying followed by aftershocks. The temblor shook the Lazio region and Umbria and Le Marche on the Adriatic coast.

Premier Matteo Renzi planned to head to the zone later today and promised: “No family, no city, no hamlet will be left behind.”

The hardest-hit towns were Amatrice and Accumoli near Rieti, some 80 miles northeast of Rome, and Pescara del Tronto some 25 kilometers further east. Italy’s civil protection agency said the preliminary toll was 50 dead, several hundred injured and thousands in need of temporary housing, though it stressed the numbers were fluid.

The ANSA news agency said 35 of the dead were in Amatrice alone, with another 17 dead in the province of Ascoli Piceno, which includes Pescara del Tronto, for a reported total topping 50.

The center of Amatrice was devastated, with entire buildings razed and the air thick with dust and smelling strongly of gas.

Amatrice, birthplace of the famed spaghetti all’amatriciana bacontomato pasta sauce, is made up of 69 hamlets that rescue teams were

working to reach.

Rocks and metal tumbled onto the streets of the city center and dazed residents huddled in piazzas as more than 40 aftershocks jolted the region into the early morning hours, some as strong as 5.1.

“The whole ceiling fell but did not hit me,” marveled resident Maria Gianni. “I just managed to put a pillow on my head and I wasn’t hit luckily, just slightly injured my leg.”

Another woman, sitting in front of her destroyed home with a blanket over her shoulders, said she didn’t know what had become of her loved ones.

“It was one of the most beautiful towns of Italy and now there’s nothing left,” she said, too distraught to give her name. “I don’t know what we’ll do.”

As daylight dawned, residents, civil protection workers and even priests began digging out with shovels, bulldozers and their bare hands, trying to reach survivors. There was relief as a woman was pulled out alive from one building, followed by a dog.

“We need chain saws, shears to cut iron bars, and jacks to remove beams: everything, we need everything,” civil

protection worker Andrea Gentili told The Associated Press. Italy’s national blood drive association appealed for donations to Rieti’s hospital.

But just a few kilometers to the north, in Illica, the response was slower as residents anxiously waited for loved ones to be extracted from the rubble.

“We came out to the piazza, and it looked like Dante’s Inferno,” said Agostino Severo, a Rome resident visiting Illica.

“People crying for help, help. Rescue workers arrived after one hour... one and a half hours.”

The devastation harked back to the 2009 quake that killed more than 300 people in and around L’Aquila, about 55 miles south of the latest quake. The town sent emergency teams today to help with the rescue.

“I don’t know what to say. We are living this immense tragedy,” said a tearful Rev. Savino D’Amelio, a parish priest in Amatrice. “We are only hoping there will be the least number of victims possible and that we all have the courage to move on.”

Another hard-hit town was Pescara del Tronto, in the Le Marche region, where the main road was covered in debris. The ANSA news agency reported 10 dead there without citing the source, but there was no confirmation.

Residents were digging their neighbors out by hand since emergency crews hadn’t yet arrived in force. Photos taken from the air by regional firefighters showed the town essentially flattened; Italy requested EU satellite im-

ages of the whole area to get the scope of the damage.

“There are broken liquor bottles all over the place,” lamented Gino Petrucci, owner of a bar in nearby Arquata Del Tronto where he was beginning the long cleanup.

The Italian geological service put the magnitude at 6.0; the U.S. Geological Survey reported 6.2 with the epicenter at Norcia, about 105 miles northeast of Rome, and with a relatively shallow depth of 6 miles.

“Quakes with this magnitude at this depth in our territory in general create building collapses, which can result in deaths,” said the head of Italy’s civil protection service, Fabrizio Curcio. He added that

the region is popular with tourists escaping the heat of Rome, with more residents than at other times of the year, and that a single building collapse could raise the toll significantly.

The mayor of Accumoli, Stefano Petrucci, said six people had died there, including a family of four, and two others. He wept as he noted that the tiny hamlet of 700 swells to 2,000 in the summer months, and that he feared for the future of the town.

“I hope they don’t forget us,” he told Sky TG24.

In Amatrice, the Rev. Fabio Gammarota, priest of a nearby parish, said he had blessed seven bodies extracted so far. “One was a friend of mine,” he said.

The mayor, Pirozzi, estimated dozens of residents were buried under collapsed buildings and that heavy equipment was needed to clear streets clogged with debris.

A 1997 quake killed a dozen people in central Italy and severely damaged one of the jewels of Umbria, the Basilica of St. Francis in Assisi, filled with Giotto frescoes. The Franciscan friars who are the custodians of the basilica reported no immediate damage from today’s temblor.

Pope Francis skipped his traditional catechism for his general audience today and instead invited pilgrims in St. Peter’s Square to recite the rosary with him.

Topeka wakes up to social justice issues Among social justice activists, the word “woke” has developed in recent years as an ultimate compliment. It’s a badge of honor describing people who are fully aware of the political and social inequities experienced by the poor, women, the LGBT community, and particularly, communities of color.

It’s a sharp, punchy word.

The hard “k’’ at the end sounds like defiance. Its four letters make it a perfect word for the Twitter era — where so much activism happens now — in which economy and directness are the order of the day.

But the word is complicated. “Woke” sounds like a destination one can reach — as if, once a person or organization or institution checks off certain boxes, they have reached some certification that lets them know they can ease up on the work. The truth is, no such place exists. The struggle for equity, peace and justice is exactly that: a struggle. It is active, it is present, it is ongoing. There is very honest, immediate and vulnerable pain caused by the many social ills of our society; it’s a pain that is felt right here in Topeka.

A�look�back�in�time � Nov. 25, 1991

Spencer Gard, who was judge of the District Court in Iola from 1950 to 1969, died Nov. 25 in Lenexa. He was 93.

Judge Gard was nationally known as an authority on the rules of evidence. He was author of the Fifth and Sixth editions of Jones on Evidence, the Illinois Evidence Manual, Florida Evidence and Missouri Evidence Law, which was published in 1963.

Judge Gard and his wife, the former Marjorie Garlinghouse, moved to Lenexa in 1976 to a retirement center.

Gard served in the Kansas

House of Representatives and the Kansas State Senate in the 1940s. He was a member of the Kansas Judicial Council and served as Kansas commissioner to the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws for 16 years. In May of this year he received the Kansas Supreme Court Justice Award for 1991.

An editorial on Judge Gard concluded: Spencer made a happy, productive life for himself. The formula he used went more or less like this: Find a profession that enthralls and work very

hard to become a leader in it; cultivate a sense of humor; keep trying to be more honest with yourself and others; practice self-discipline so you can reach goals; find pleasure in as many things as possible; don’t waste energy in anger, envy or resentment; give your family unstinting devotion; become engaged in all of the communities to which you belong and contribute as much to them as your abilities and resources allow. Searching for a role model? You couldn’t find better than Spencer Gard.

Why it matters: Supreme Court WASHINGTON (AP) — Editor’s Note: One in an AP series examining issues at stake in the presidential election and how they affect people THE ISSUE: No one likes an even number on a court that makes decisions by majority vote.

Yet that’s just what the Supreme Court has been left with, eight justices, since the death of Antonin Scalia in February.

Four cases ended in a tie after Scalia’s death.

With Senate Republicans refusing to confirm President Barack Obama’s choice to succeed Scalia, the outcome of the presidential election will determine whether the ninth, tiebreaking justice moves the court right or left.

How much can one vote matter?

In key decisions in recent years on health care, gun rights, samesex marriage, voting rights and campaign finance, the vote was 5-4. And more Supreme Court appointments probably await the next president because two justices will be older than 80 and a third will be 78 come Election Day. WHERE STAND

1 Ton Recycled Newspapers = 17 30’ Trees

THEY

Both Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump have made the future of the Supreme Court part of their pitch to their respective party faithful. In talking about the court, Clinton has stressed her support for abortion rights, LGBT issues and immigration.

Trump has released a list of 11 conservative state and federal judges whom he would consider nominating if elected.

WHY IT MATTERS

The current vacan-

cans have been resolute in refusing to consider Obama nominee Merrick Garland. Though Garland has a reputation as a moderate, he still would be left of Scalia on most issues.

A Clinton victory in

A switch of one vote would have doomed Obama’s health care overhaul of 2012, kept the heart of a voting rights law in place in 2013 and prevented some Americans from marrying their same-sex partners in 2015.

cy is the moment both sides alternately have wished for and feared.

Supreme Court nominations are always important because a justice can serve a quarter century or more. But the stakes are even higher when the president has a chance to put a likeminded justice on the court to take the place of an ideological opponent. Such a switch can change the outcome of some of the court’s most important cases.

That’s the tantalizing opportunity for Democrats and why Republi-

November would, with the confirmation of Garland or someone else as the ninth justice, immediately shift the court to the left and result in a majority of justices nominated by a Democratic president for the first time since 1969.

If Trump is elected, he presumably would restore the court’s conservative tilt by appointing a like-minded successor to Scalia.

So the direction of a court closely divided between conservatives and liberals is at stake.

The Supreme Court may

be the least understood of the three branches of government, but its decisions affect Americans rich and poor.

A switch of one vote would have doomed Obama’s health care overhaul in 2012, kept the heart of a voting rights law in place in 2013 and prevented some Americans from marrying their same-sex partners in 2015.

Chances are Trump or Clinton will have other Supreme Court vacancies to fill, nominations that could cement conservative or liberal domination of the court for decades.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is 83, Justice

Anthony Kennedy is 80, and Justice Stephen Breyer is 78. Justices tend to retire when their replacement is likely to be of similar ideology.

Garland or another Democratic nominee could be expected to reinforce support for abortion rights, look favorably on executive actions to deal with immigration and climate change and be more willing to uphold campaign finance restrictions. Trump’s choices probably would come down on the other side of those issues and be more skeptical about gun control and consideration of race in higher education as well.

AWESOME ACE

Ventura, bullpen shut down Marlins

By STEVEN WINE The Associated Press

MIAMI (AP) — Yordano Ventura escaped two threats before turning the game over to the bullpen with a 1-0 lead, and for the Kansas City Royals, that meant another victory.

Ventura pitched six innings and the Royals extended their winning streak to nine games Tuesday by beating the Miami Marlins 1-0.

Three relievers closed out the win and extended the bullpen’s streak of 32 consecutive shutout innings since Aug. 10. That broke the franchise re-

cord of 29 2/3 consecutive innings set in 1969.

Kelvin Herrera pitched a perfect ninth for his eighth save. The longest winning streak since June 2014 by the Royals (65-60) has gotten them back in the mix in the AL wild-card race.

“The team you’re seeing is the team we are,” Ventura said.

“We’re definitely confident right now,” right fielder Lorenzo Cain said.

The Royals won with six hits. They scored the lone run in the sixth when See ROYALS | Page B3

MIDWEST CITY, Okla. — Both Allen Community College soccer teams struggled to find the back of the net during their season-opening trip to Oklahoma.

The women lost 3-0 to Rose State College and couldn’t muster much offense with only one shot at the goal the entire game. Brynn Suddeth provided that attempt, but Rose State keeper Revella Fischer was able to prevent the score.

Emily Clark got the start in goal for the Red Devils and allowed 3 of 11 Rose State attempts at goal.

The game was also the season opener for Rose State.

“We played a little shorthanded with two starters being out due to injuries,” coach Jeremy McGinnis said. “We missed some early opportunities that could have changed the game in our favor.”

McGinnis knows his team must improve before its home opener against Metropolitan Community College-Blue River on Friday at 2 p.m.

“We’re looking forward to getting back on the right side of things then,” McGinnis said.

SYDNEY (AP) — With the usual touristy things — Opera House, Harbour Bridge and meeting mascotsized koalas — out of the way, the California Golden Bears and Hawaii were set to continue their practice sessions in Australia today ahead of the opening college football game of the season.

The midday Saturday game — prime time Friday night in the United States — will be held at Sydney’s Olympic stadium, where organizers are expecting a crowd of more than 65,000.

On Tuesday, both teams were welcomed to the city at an Opera House reception.

Cal coach Sonny Dykes and Hawaii coach Nick Rolovich were presented with Malibu-sized surfboards and some of the players posed for selfies with the iconic Opera House and bridge in the background.

After the festivities, both teams held workouts and Dykes said Cal got the kinks out during the fullypadded practice.

“The guys are getting acclimatized to Sydney time, so we had a good, intense practice and the guys worked hard,” Dykes said.

“Defensively it was one of the better ones we’ve had. Offensively I thought we were a little out of sync, but the guys were moving around well and I though mentally we were pretty sharp.”

Dykes said it was good to mingle with the Hawaii players at the Opera House welcome.

“It was a great activity, fun to see the guys from Hawaii,” he said. “It gets you thinking about the ball game when you see your opponent.”

Cal had a seven-win turnaround from the past two seasons, going from 1-11 in 2013 to 8-5 last year.

Hawaii, with former quarterback Rolovich in his first season as coach, is the most travelled team in U.S. college football. The Rainbow Warriors will play again on Sept.

3 when they make their first appearance at the Big House, taking on Michigan in Ann Arbor.

In the meantime, he’s happy to make his coaching debut Down Under and give his players a unique lifetime experience.

“If they kick me out of my country, I’m coming here, save me a room,” Rolovich told local media. “How many people get to play their first game in Australia in Sydney?

Your grandkids aren’t going to believe you that you got to do this in September when you’re 20 years old.”

Court: Out-of-state license plates don’t justify search WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Law enforcement officials in Kansas cannot stop and search motorists just for having outof-state license plates from states that have legalized marijuana, a federal appeals court ruled Tuesday.

The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals reinstated a lawsuit filed by a Colorado motorist, Peter Vasquez, against two Kansas Highway Patrol officers who pulled him over and searched his vehicle as he was driving alone at night through Kansas on his way to Maryland.

The KHP officers, Richard Jimerson and Dax Lewis, stopped Vasquez when they could not read the temporary tag taped to the inside of the car’s tinted rear window. The officers contended they were justified in searching the vehicle because Vasquez was a citizen of Colorado driving on I-70, a “known drug corridor,� in a recently purchased, older-model car. They said he also seemed nervous.

A divided panel found the officers violated Vasquez’s Fourth Amendment rights in searching his car without his consent. Nothing illegal was found.

Twenty-five states permit marijuana use for medicinal purposes, with Colorado, Alaska, Oregon, Washington, and Washington, D.C., permitting some recreational use under state law, the court noted.

The officers’ reasoning would justify the search and seizure of citizens of half of the states in the country, the court said, adding it is “wholly improper� to assume someone is more likely to commit a crime because of his state of residence. “Accordingly, it is time to abandon the pretense that state citizenship is a permissible basis upon which to justify the detention and search of out-of-state motorists, and time to stop the practice of detention of motorists for nothing more than an out-of-state license plate,� the ruling states.

Court considers Kansas rule that voters prove citizenship DENVER (AP) — A federal appeals court will decide whether Kansas has the right to ask people who register to vote when they get their driver’s licenses for proof that they’re citizens, a decision which could affect whether thousands have their ballots counted in November’s election.

Three judges from the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments in the case Tuesday from Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach and the American Civil Liberties Union but didn’t indicate how soon they

could rule.

Kansas wants the court to overturn a ruling by a federal judge in May that temporarily blocked the state from disenfranchising people who registered at motor vehicle offices but didn’t provide documents such as birth certificates or naturalization papers. That was about 18,000 people at the time. If the order is allowed to stand, the state says up to an estimated 50,000 people who haven’t proven they’re citizens could have their votes counted in the fall.

MLB Roundup: Indians, Cardinals fall on Tuesday LOS ANGELES (AP) — Corey Seager, Justin Turner and Adrian Gonzalez combined for eight hits and four RBIs, and the Los Angeles Dodgers roughed up Madison Bumgarner again to beat the San Francisco Giants 9-5 on Tuesday night.

Rob Segedin and Andrew Toles each homered, and the Dodgers extended their NL West lead to two games.

Bumgarner (12-8) is 0-2 with a 5.63 ERA in three starts against the Dodgers this season. Gonzalez hit a two-run single to center with the bases loaded against Bumgarner in the fifth to break a tie.

Kenley Jansen allowed a homer to Denard Span but still got his 36th save.

The Giants’ Angel Pagan extended his hitting streak to 19 games.

Kenta Maeda (13-7) allowed three runs in five innings.

RED SOX 2, RAYS 1 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Clay Buchholz pitched into the seventh inning, David Ortiz had a run-scoring single and Boston beat Tampa Bay to remain tied atop the AL East with Toronto.

Buchholz (5-9) allowed one run, five hits, two walks and struck out nine in 6 1/3 innings. Craig Kimbrel got the final three outs for his 23rd save.

Chris Archer (7-17) gave up two runs, five hits and threw 109 pitches in five innings for the Rays.

JAYS 7, ANGELS 2 TORONTO (AP) — Russell Martin had three hits and two RBIs and R.A.

Dickey pitched 6 2/3 innings for his first home win since July 10.

Martin had an RBI single in the first, drove in a run with a bases-loaded walk in the third, singled and scored in the fifth, and doubled over the head of center fielder Mike Trout in the seventh.

Michael Saunders hit his 21st home run, a solo shot off A.J. Achter in the eighth, and Edwin Encarnacion and Darwin Barney each reached base three times as the Blue Jays won their fifth straight over the Angels.

Dickey (9-13) came in 2-8 with a 5.57 ERA in 13 home starts but held the Angels in check, allowing two runs and six hits.

REDS 3, RANGERS 0 CINCINNATI (AP) — Dan Straily extended his surge since the All-Star break by pitching six innings and Joey Votto drove in a pair of runs.

Straily (10-6) hasn’t allowed more than two runs in any of his eight starts since the break, going 6-0.

He gave up three singles and two walks.

Tony Cingrani gave two walks in the ninth before retiring Ryan Rua on a grounder to complete his 16th save in 21 chances.

Votto singled home a run in the sixth off lefthander Derek Holland (5-6), who had been on the disabled list since June 22 with an inflamed pitching shoulder. Holland gave up four hits and a walk in six innings. He also got his first major league hit, a single off the plate that bounced over Votto’s head at first base.

A’S 9, INDIANS 1 OAKLAND, Calif.

(AP) — Khris Davis hit a three-run homer and scored three times, and Oakland beat Cleveland to snap a threegame losing streak.

Davis had struck out in six consecutive atbats before hitting his 33rd home run of the season off starter Danny Salazar. That’s the most by an Oakland player since Jack Cust hit 33 in 2008.

Sean Manaea (5-8) allowed three hits and one run over seven innings for his second win since June 29. Manaea walked two and fanned eight to become the first A’s rookie pitcher to reach 100 strikeouts since Dan Straily in 2013.

Danny Salazar (115) left after giving up a leadoff double in the fifth.

METS 7, CARDINALS 4 ST. LOUIS (AP) — Wilmer Flores and Justin Ruggiano homered, Jose Reyes reached four base times and scored three runs, and Asdrubal Cabrera had three hits, drove in a run and scored once.

The offense helped Robert Gsellman (1-0) get the decision in his major league debut. Gsellman, pressed into action after starter Jonathon Niese left with an injury in the first inning, pitched 3 2/3 innings without allowing an earned run.

Jeurys Familia earned his 42nd save, one shy of the Mets’ season record set by Familia last year and Armando Benitez in 2001.

Cardinals lefty Jaime Garcia (10-9) gave up a season-high six runs at home, in just four innings.

TIGERS 8, TWINS 3 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Cameron Maybin drove in three runs, including a go-ahead two-run single in the sixth inning.

Anibal Sanchez (7-12) pitched seven innings to win a start on the road for the first time since the first week of the season, and the Tigers broke the

game open in the seventh with soaring home runs

by Erick Aybar and Victor Martinez.

Brian Dozier gave Minnesota the lead in the fifth with his 29th homer, a new career high, but Kyle Gibson (5-8) couldn’t hold it. He threw two of the team’s three wild pitches in the decisive sixth.

ORIOLES 8 NATIONALS 1 BALTIMORE (AP) — Kevin Gausman scattered six hits over six shutout innings, Adam Jones went 4 for 5 and Chris Davis hit his 30th home run for Baltimore.

Gausman (5-10) walked two, struck out two and permitted only one runner past second base.

The 25-year-old out-

pitched Nationals rookie Reynaldo Lopez, a 22-yearold making his fifth major league start. Lopez (2-2) yielded six runs, four earned, and seven hits in 2 2/3 rocky innings.

WHITE SOX 9 PHILLIES 1 CHICAGO (AP) — Jose Abreu homered for a third straight game and Carlos Rodon threw 6 2/3 scoreless innings.

Abreu hit a two-run home run and Justin Morneau followed with a solo shot in the fifth off Jake Thompson (1-3), who gave up seven runs and eight hits in five innings.

Rodon (4-8) allowed three hits and has a 1.46 ERA in his past four starts after missing most of July with a sprained left wrist.

Royals: Win streak goes nine Continued from B1

Paulo Orlando led off with a single, stole second and came home on Cain’s single.

Ventura (9-9), who reached 101 mph on the scoreboard radar gun, allowed six hits and one walk while striking out six. The Royals’ starters have an ERA of 1.69 during the winning streak.

“Those guys have been outstanding,” Cain said. “It has been lights out every night.”

Andrew Cashner (410) had his best outing in five starts for the Marlins but fell to 0-3 since joining them on July 30.

He allowed one run in six innings.

The Marlins had won three straight but were shut out despite totaling seven hits. They went 0 for 10 with runners in scoring position.

“It was one of those games tonight where you didn’t feel it was going to take too much,” Miami manager Don Mattingly said. “Our guy was throwing the ball good, their guy was throwing it good. We just couldn’t really break through.”

Miami loaded the bases with two outs in the third, but Marcell Ozuna flied out to end the inning. Ventura pitched around a leadoff double

by Ozuna in the sixth.

The Marlins played their 15th consecutive game decided by three runs or less, a club record. They are 7-8 during the stretch.

DEPARTURE Ozuna left the game in the eighth inning because of a family emer-

gency. Mattingly said he didn’t know whether Ozuna would be available today.

HOSMER HOMECOMING The Royals played in Miami for the first time since 2008, and it was Eric Hosmer’s first game in his hometown. He went 0 for 3 with a walk.

REVERSAL Cain was caught stealing in the sixth when the initial call of safe was overturned by replay.

TRAINER’S ROOM Marlins: Cashner pitched with a blood blis-

ter under a nail on his pitching hand. “Tonight was worse than it has been, but I found a way to get it done,” he said.

Royals: LHP Jason Vargas, who is coming back from Tommy John surgery, made his first Triple-A rehab start Monday and allowed three runs in three innings for Omaha.

UP NEXT RHP Jose Fernandez (12-7, 3.05) is scheduled to start tonight for Miami against RHP Dillon Gee (5-6, 4.52). In his past four starts, Fernandez is 0-3 with an ERA of 6.00.

Former Mets Strawberry, Gooden feud NEW YORK (AP) — Dwight Gooden has denied Darryl Strawberry’s accusation that he is “a complete junkie-addict,” saying his former teammate is just taking it personally that Gooden couldn’t make a scheduled public appearance with Strawberry last week.

Strawberry told the New York Daily News that Gooden skipped an event organized by radio station WFAN and he worried Gooden has been using cocaine. Strawberry told the newspaper that Gooden’s son called him to beg him to help his father before he dies, adding that “the condition Doc is in, it’s bad.”

Gooden says in a statement that he hasn’t done cocaine in years. He apologized for Strawberry’s “inability to show more character and strength,” saying “he obviously was never there for me.” Gooden claims he has always supported Strawberry, “during his best and worst days.”

Gooden and Strawberry won back-to-back Rookie of the Year awards for the New York Mets in 1983 and ‘84.

Drug abuse cut short both of their careers.

With no symptoms, it’s best to hold off treating CLL Dear Dr. Roach: I am a 75-year-old white female who recently was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. My doctor, a hematologist, completed a FISH blood test, which showed it to be the type of leukemia associated with an abnormal chromosome called del(13q). I am in relatively good health, and my doctor says that at this time I show no symptoms of this disease; if symptoms do show up in time, there are very good treatments to combat the problems, but there is no cure.

Should I insist that my doctor begin treatments now so that I will not suffer more later on? — B.C.M. Answer: CLL is one of the most common leukemias (a type of blood cancer). It occurs mostly in older adults, with the average age at onset being about 70 years. While it progresses very slowly in most people, it is usually not curable.

CLL differs greatly from person to person, in terms of its aggressiveness. Checking the DNA

keeps in mind both your quality and your length of life. Don’t override your doctor’s advice lightly.

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health mutations of the cancer cells (that’s the FISH test) helps to predict how fast the cancer will progress.

Fortunately, the del(13q) mutation is a very low risk mutation, and people with this mutation in their CLL have very little or no increase in risk of death overall. Further, well-done trials comparing people who are treated early in the disease show no overall benefit in survival, compared with people who waited to get treatment until they developed symptoms.

So, I agree with your doctor. Because treatments do cause some side effects, if you started treatment now, you would be guaranteeing yourself a worse quality of life right away, without any guarantee of making things better later. Your doctor is doing his or her best to give advice that

Dear Dr. Roach: I have recently been diagnosed with IgG4-related disease.

Can it be genetic? My daughter has many unexplained symptoms that I worry may be related to this condition. I have required biopsies of an eye muscle, the salivary gland and lung lesions, among others. What can you tell me about this disease? — J.E. Answer: IgG4 is a type of immunoglobulin, an antibody. In IgG4-related disease, the antibodies are directed against various tissues of the body, and the disease manifestations depend on what organs are affected. It is thought to have components of allergy as well as autoimmunity.

The condition is seen more frequently in men than in women, and in middle age. The diagnosis often is missed, as this is a newly recognized condition. It is probably much more common than pre-

viously thought. It may resemble lupus or sarcoidosis. The diagnosis is made after a biopsy with special staining of the specimen. This means the diagnosis is more likely when it’s suspected to begin with.

It can cause an autoimmune pancreatitis, or may present as a tumor. I suspect that your eye-muscle and salivarygland biopsies were related to this presentation of the disease. Enlarged lymph nodes and weight loss are common in this disease.

Treatment is initially with glucocorticoid steroids, such as prednisone.

If the diagnosis is correct, people start getting better within two to four weeks.

Some experts use other medications to try to reduce the use of steroids, which have many side effects if used long term.

As far as heritability goes, I can’t find a definitive answer. This disease is not yet well characterized. Many autoimmune diseases run in families, so it is possible that your daughter may have it as well.

Will America’s top Olympians be back in 2020?

By DAVID WHARTON Los Angeles Times

It happened to Michael Phelps and Allyson Felix. Also to Simone Biles.

The stars of the U.S. team at these Summer Olympics had barely stepped off the medals podium when they were asked about coming back for the 2020 Tokyo Games.

As Biles said: “Tokyo is a long way away.�

While the five-time medalist is still a teenager, other athletes who contributed to the Americans’ 121 medals in Rio de Janeiro were veterans whose careers may or may not last much longer.

In four years’ time, the U.S. could be anchored by some new faces who had breakout performances here.

Sixteen-year-old Laurie Hernandez, the youngest member of the women’s gymnastics squad, won gold with her teammates and added an individual silver in the beam.

Hernandez sounded as if she wanted more of the Olympics. “These are all new and great experiences for me,� she said. “It’s all very cool and I’m just kind of embracing this new part of my life.�

Swimming phenom Katie Ledecky has already talked about coming back, and she could bring along another medal winner who will be her teammate at Stanford this fall.

Simone Manuel made headlines as the first African American swimmer to earn individual gold. The 20-year-old, who finished the Games with two golds and two silvers, is competing for something more than

personal achievement. “I am super glad with the fact I can be an inspiration to others and hopefully diversify the sport,� she said after winning the 100-meter freestyle. “But at the same time, I would like there to be a day when there are more of us and it’s not, ‘Simone, the black swimmer.’ “ Rio marked the sixth consecutive time the U.S. led in the overall medal count and only the seventh time in Olympic history that a nation topped each of the categories — gold, silver and bronze.

The total of 121 was the country’s highest

ever, not counting the boycotted 1984 Los Angeles Games and the 1904 St. Louis Games, when only 15 teams competed.

Alan Ashley, chief of sport performance for the U.S. Olympic Committee, sounded optimistic about the future. “There have been so many first-time performances by so many athletes in different sports,� he said.

That includes swimmer Ryan Murphy, who walked away with three gold medals, two in the backstroke events and one relay. Sprinter Tori Bowie made her Olympic debut with a silver in the 100 meters, bronze

the Raiders.

Jordan Velasco was able to score Allen’s first goal of the season, but it wasn’t enough to top Rose Hill whose Raiders cruised to a 4-1 victory.

Despite the lop-sided result, Red Devil coach Doug Desmarteau said his team showed plenty of positives that they can build on. “For our first regular season game, we played decent in spurts, but made some mistakes in key spots that cost us some goals,� Desmarteau said. “We had several chances that we didn’t capitalize on. We didn’t match their physicality and pace.�

The game was also Rose State’s season opener.

The Red Devils will open their home schedule on Friday at 4 p.m., when they host Metropolitan Community College-Blue River.

in the 200 and gold in the 400 relay.

If sprinter Trayvon Bromell can overcome the injury that nagged him the last few weeks, he might also be a contender in Tokyo. And gold-medalist shooter Ginny Thrasher is only 19 in a sport where careers can stretch for decades.

Among the veterans on the team, diver David Boudia, who won silver and bronze, has talked about continuing.

So has wrestler Helen Maroulis, who scored a stunning upset of threetime Olympic champion

Saori Yoshida. “I like to think of it as my profession,� Maroulis said of wrestling. “And if you love what you do, why stop?�

And then there is Phelps, who has insisted that these were his last Games. “This is it,� he said after winning six medals in Rio to boost his career total to 28, 23 of them gold. “This is the last time you’ll ever see me racing in the water again.�

Of course, he said the same thing after the 2012 London Olympics. A lot can change in four years.
