USD 257 ‘won’t walk away’ from Bowlus

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

School officials, past and present, refuted comments from Iola attorney Clyde Toland that said building new elementary and high schools could jeopardize USD 257’s affiliation with the Bowlus Fine Arts Center.

In a letter in Tuesday’s Register, Toland said pulling vocal and instrumental classes out of the Bowlus and into a new campus would violate a clause in Thomas Bowlus’ will that stipulates the district continue to offer fine arts courses at the fine arts center. Without those courses, ownership of the facility transfer to the University of Kansas, Toland said.

Superintendent of Schools Jack Koehn spelled out the

district’s plans for the Bowlus if voters approve new schools.

Rather than band and vocal music, the classes held in the Bowlus would include music composition, recording engineering or music production and be offered in a half-day setting.

For visual arts courses, the district would make plans for such things as digital graphics art, web development, broadcast video journalism.

Drama students could focus on event or stage productions as well, Koehn said.

“There’s no way the district will walk away from the Bowlus,” Koehn said. “I see this as a great opportunity for students.”

Forum highlights savings

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

The second in a series of public forums surrounding proposed construction of new elementary and high schools

in Iola grew a bit more emotional Tuesday than did its predecessor.

A crowd of about 50 gathered at the Jefferson Elementary School gymnasium to once again look at the district’s needs.

There were morsels of new information in Tuesday’s presentation.

Building anew would save nearly $700,000 from the district’s budget annually, said See FORUM | Page A4

MOMS, Kiwanis celebrate opening of new playground

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

A festive atmosphere surrounded the grand opening celebration Tuesday of the new Mothers of Miracles (MOMs) playground at Iola’s Riverside Park.

Several MOMs organizers behind the $187,000 project were on hand for the ribboncutting ceremony, along with Iola Kiwanians and other business leaders and volunteers.

The playground area is designed for youngsters with disabilities, although scores of children of all ages already

have entertained themselves on the equipment.

The playground was borne out of several collaborations, said Mike Ford, a member of the Iola Kiwanis.

It was Kiwanis who originally reached out to the MOMs organizers, and both worked together to secure a $25,000 grant from Kiwanis International.

From there, the City of Iola donated another $25,000, as did the Kansas Health Care Foundation.

“But other than those three big donations, everything else came from private donaSee MOMS | Page A6

Musical talents inspire IMS

By KAYLA BANZET The Iola Register

Musical talents Monte Selby and Larry Clyman gave Iola Middle School students a taste of jazz Tuesday morning.

Selby and Clyman gave a concert at the start of the school day. Band and creative writing students then sat down with the duo to talk about music composition.

Selby has written hundreds of songs with students and Grammy-winning musicians.

He has taught at colleges including Emporia State University, written books and produced music.

Selby and the students put their heads together to write a song.

“What rhymes with Doritos,” he asked.

Hands shot up across the room. “Fritos” and “toes” were shouted out.

Selby encouraged the students to let their imaginations run wild.

In the band room Clyman talked to jazz band students about musical phrasing. He compared music to a conver-

Quote of the day Vol. 116, No. 232

The landscape for the rural hospital industry is rocky, but navigable, according to Ron Baker, CEO of Allen County Regional Hospital. Matters outside a hospital’s control - federal and state deficits, economic stagnation, and the insurance industry - all bear down on a local community hospital.

“Rural hospitals are in decline,” Baker told hospital trustees at their meeting Tuesday evening.

Patient numbers peaked in 2009 and have seen a steep decline since. Baker cited tighter restrictions by health insurance companies on whether patients are admitted to hospitals. More and more, patients undergo procedures as outpatients at the hospital to return home afterward.

In the 1950s, it was typical to spend the better part of a

week in a hospital after giving birth; in the 1980s, three days. Today, insurance provides for most new mothers to spend one night in a hospital after a routine delivery.

Baker feels confident the hospital’s status as a critical access hospital, which helps it secure federal reimbursements, is safe.

About 30 percent of the country’s acute care hospitals are critical access, numbering 1,330. “But they consume only 1 percent of the government’s health care budget,” he said. “We’re not a big target when it comes to cutting costs.”

Such hospitals are limited to 25 or fewer beds and generate an average of 204 jobs to a local economy.

“The Kansas Hospital Association recognizes the challenges ahead,” Baker said. “The way we stay ahead is to remain aware of changSee HOSPITAL | Page A6

Agencies told to look for ways to tighten budgets TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Kansas Division of Budget has told seven state agencies to evaluate whether they can operate more efficiently, and the governor’s office said the directive is not related to the state’s projected budget shortfall.

Budget Director Shawn Sullivan told

state department leaders their evaluation results should be presented to the division in the first two weeks of October, The Wichita Eagle reported. He will work with them over the next few months to determine if state services are being delivered as efficiently as possible and

whether there are any duplicate programs.

Eileen Hawley, the governor’s spokeswoman, said in an email that the assessments are unrelated to projections that Kansas faces a $238 million budget shortfall by the end of June 2016.

Deer threaten airplanes, pilots say

By JOAN LOWY The Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — Long the bane of gardeners and unwary motorists, soaring deer populations are also nuisances for airports and threats to pilots, especially at this time of year, according to aviation and wildlife experts.

Whether driven by hunger or just crazy for love, deer will do seemingly anything to get onto airport grounds and runways, including leaping over tall fences or squeezing under them. Once there, they like to warm themselves by sauntering on runways, which hold heat longer than bare ground.

But put a deer and a plane together on a runway and both can have a very bad day.

From 1990 to 2013, there were 1,088 collisions between planes and deer, elk, moose and caribou, according to a recent joint report by the Federal Aviation Administration and the Agriculture Department.

Most of the planes suffered damage, and some were destroyed, the report said. One person was killed and 29 others injured. No mention is made of the fate of the deer.

The vast majority of collisions involved white-tailed deer, the smallest member of the North American deer family, but big enough to wreck a plane. There were only about 350,000 of the creatures in the

U.S. in 1900. By 1984 there were 15 million and by 2010 more than 28 million. They’ve caused $44 million in aircraft damage and 238,000 hours of lost flying time over the past 24 years.

About 30 percent of collisions occurred during the October-November mating season.

Last month in Florida, the propeller of a small plane landing at night at the Ormond Beach Municipal Airport struck a deer, causing the plane’s front landing gear to collapse, according to local police. The pilot and three passengers were unhurt.

Most collisions involve small planes, but airliners occasionally tangle with deer as well.

A US Airways jet plowed through a herd of deer shortly after landing at Charlotte Douglas International Airport in North Carolina in October 2010. At least one deer became entangled in the plane’s main land-

ing gear and the runway had to be closed for about 40 minutes while the mess was being cleaned up.

Since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, many larger airports have built tall fences topped with barbed wire, mostly as a security measure but also to keep deer and other wildlife out, said Richard Dolbeer, an Agriculture Department science adviser and co-author of the report. Airports also use sharpshooters to eliminate deer that manage to make their way under fences or through cracks, he said.

“Just an 8-inch gap and they can squeeze through,” Dolbeer said.

But smaller airports that serve mainly private pilots have been slower to install deer-proof fences, he said. As a result, deer collisions have dropped significantly at large airports, but only slightly at smaller airports, he said. Last year,

RCIA classes at St. John’s Parish

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

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

and be good stewards of taxpayer money, whether we have $100 million in the bank or $1 billion dollars in the bank,” Hawley said.

She also reaffirmed Republican Gov. Sam Brownback’s statement that Kansas will see enough economic growth to cover its expenses.

“As you know, the governor has said growth will address any projected shortfall,” Hawley said. “Growth is more than simply jobs. Growth takes into account a number of factors including private sector job growth, small business income growth,

earnings growth of Kansas workers, GDP growth and growth in exports to name a few.”

But Ken Kriz, an economist at Wichita State University, has said it’s unlikely the state will have enough economic growth to cover the projected budget shortfall.

The seven state agencies are the Department for Aging and Disability Services, the Department of Health and Environment, the Department of Transportation, the Department for Children and Families, the Department of Commerce, the Department of Revenue and the Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism.

Financial Focus Protect Your Retirement against Market Volatility

As an investor, you’re well aware that, over the short term, the financial markets always move up and down.

During your working years, you may feel that you have time to overcome this volatility. And you’d be basing these feelings on actual evidence: the longer the investment period, the greater the tendency of the markets to “smooth out” their performance. But what happens when you retire? Won’t you be more susceptible to market movements?

You may not be as vulnerable as you might think. In the first place, given our growing awareness of healthier lifestyles, you could easily spend two, or even three, decades in retirement — so your investment time frame isn’t necessarily going to be that compressed.

Nonetheless, it’s still true that time may well be a more important consideration to you during your retirement years, so you may want to be particularly vigilant about taking steps to help smooth out the effects of market volatility. Toward that end, here are a few suggestions: Allocate your investments among a variety of asset classes. Of course, proper asset allocation is a good investment move at any age, but when you’re retired, you want to be especially careful that you don’t “overconcentrate” your investment dollars among just a few assets. Spreading your money among a range of vehicles — stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit, government securities and so on —can help you avoid taking the full brunt of a downturn that may primarily hit just one type of investment. (Keep in mind, though, that while diversification can help reduce the effects of volatility, it can’t assure a profit or protect against loss.)

Choose investments that have demonstrated solid performance across many market cycles. As you’ve probably heard, “past performance is no guarantee of future results,” and this is true. Nonetheless, you can help improve your outlook by owning quality investments. So when investing n stocks, choose those that have actual earnings and a track record of earnings growth. If you invest in fixed-income vehicles, pick those that are considered “investment grade.”

Don’t make emotional decisions. At various times during your retirement, you will, in all likelihood, witness some sharp drops in the market. Try to avoid overreacting to these downturns, which will probably just be normal market “corrections.” If you can keep your emotions out of investing, you will be less likely to make moves such as selling quality investments merely because their price is temporarily down.

Don’t try to “time” the market. You may be tempted to “take advantage” of volatility by looking for opportunities to “buy low and sell high.” In theory, this is a fine idea — but, unfortunately, no one can really predict market highs or lows. You’ll probably be better off by consistently investing the same amount of money into the same investments. Over time, this method of investing may result in lower per-share costs. However, as is the case with diversification, this type of “systematic” investing won’t guarantee a profit or protect against loss, and you’ll need to be willing to keep investing when share prices are declining.

It’s probably natural to get somewhat more apprehensive about market volatility during your retirement years. But taking the steps described above can help you navigate the sometimes-choppy waters of the financial world.

Obama: Nations must work together to dismantle ISIL threat UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Declaring the world at a crossroads between war and peace, President Barack Obama vowed at the U.N. today to lead a coalition to dismantle an Islamic State “network of death” that has wreaked havoc in the Middle East and drawn the U.S. back into military action in the region.

Speaking to the annual gathering of the United Nations General Assembly, Obama said the U.S. would be a “respectful and constructive partner” in confronting

the Islamic State militants through force. But he also implored Middle Eastern nations to take the lead in addressing the conditions that have sparked the rise of extremists and to cut off funding to terror groups.

“Ultimately, the task of rejecting sectarianism and extremism is a generational task — a task for the people of the Middle East themselves,” Obama said.

“No external power can bring about a transformation of hearts and minds.”

The president’s re-

marks came against the backdrop of an expanded U.S. military campaign against the Islamic State group, with airstrikes now hitting targets in both Iraq and Syria. A coalition of five Arab nations joined the U.S. this week in the strikes in Syria: Bahrain, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Qatar.

The U.S. also opened another military front with airstrikes this week against a new al-Qaida cell that the Pentagon said was “nearing the execution phase” of a di-

Obama took on Russia directly in his remarks, accusing Moscow of sending arms to proKremlin separatists, refusing to allow access to the site of a downed civilian airliner and then moving its own troops across the border with Ukraine.

“This is a vision of the world in which might makes right, a world in which one nation’s borders can be redrawn by another, and civilized people are not allowed to recover the remains of their loved ones because of the truth that might be revealed,” Obama said. “America stands

for something different.”

Still, Obama held open the prospect of a resolution to the months long conflict between Russia and Ukraine. While he has previously expressed skepticism about a fragile cease-fire signed earlier this month, he said today that the agreement “offers an opening” for peace.

If Russia follows through on the agreement, Obama said the U.S. will lift economic sanctions that have damaged Russia’s economy but so far done little to shift President Vladimir Putin’s approach.

As Obama spoke, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov sat in the audience at the U.N., staring down at a stack of papers without glancing up at Obama.

The threats have drawn Obama back into conflicts in the Middle East that he has long sought to avoid, particularly in Syria, which is mired in a bloody three-year civil war. Just months ago, the president appeared to be on track to fulfill his pledge to end the U.S.-led wars he inherited in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Yet the militant threat in the Middle East is just one in a series of global crises that have tested Obama this year. Russia has repeatedly flouted warning from the U.S. and Europe to stop its threatening moves in Ukraine. And leaders in West Africa have criticized Obama for not doing more to help combat

The Iola Register

Forum: Patrons tour Jefferson Elementary, hear program Continued from A1 Jack Koehn, superintendent of USD 257 schools.

The savings inclueds less spent in utilities ($124,000) and large and small repairs ($320,000), as well as that realized with one fewer administrator ($70,000). Other savings would be realized in not having to duplicate resources and having to hire fewer substitute teachers each day.

With the district’s current facilities — average age of 80 years old — “we’re spending more and more on maintenance, and digging ourselves into a deeper hole,” Koehn said.

In addition, an economic consultant firm, Impact Data Source of Austin, Texas, estimated the proposed construction would be a financial boon to the area.

According to the study, construction activity would pump $59.6 million into Iola’s economy, the report said, creating nearly 200 total jobs during construction and provide $20.4 million in salaries for area workers and other employees. The projects will create more than $5.1 million local taxable sales, generating more than $115,000 for city and county taxes.

RAY MALONEY, owner of Ray’s Metal Depot in LaHarpe, peppered Koehn with questions surrounding the proposal.

While only 18 percent purportedly walk to “neighborhood” schools today, how many fewer would be able to walk to a campus more than two miles away, Maloney asked. And if traffic surrounding each of the schools today is considered hazardous to students, would the problem be exacerbated by putting all of the district’s elementary schools in one location?

The district will continue to use the old school sites as bus pickup and drop-off sites for students, Koehn responded, so children still could walk the same routes they do today. Each of the bus stops would have adult supervision, he noted.

Meanwhile, the spacious areas surrounding each of the proposed school sites would be designed to keep bus and car traffic segregated, mitigating what Koehn describes as the most prominent traffic issue.

The district would receive added state funding for transportation, Koehn said, in response to another of Maloney’s questions. The added bus routes “would be a wash” financially, he said.

Maloney grew impassioned as talk turned to curriculums and educational opportunities for students.

He criticized USD 257 for dropping its building trades program, and for not developing other technical trades courses that would better serve students who will not earn a college degree, and for the others who have no intention of going to college at all.

Because the district fails to produce skilled laborers, many locals will not have the opportunity to participate in

the proposed construction, Maloney said.

“All I hear about is technology,” Maloney said. “It seems like they’re teaching students to sit at a computer instead of building things with their hands.”

THERE WERE several speaking in favor of the construction project, including retired principal and lifelong Iolan Ken McGuffin.

“Our schools have served quite a purpose in this community, and educated a lot of us,” he said. “We have a lot of great memories from these old halls.”

He noted that Lincoln was less than 10 years old when he first attended.

“It was a new school then,” he said. “Somebody invested in me in this community. They had to tear down some old buildings, and there may have been some memories in those old buildings, too.

“It’s really a small cost,” to build anew, he opined. “It’s our last great opportunity for this town to do something like this. We had a bond issue 30 years ago, and some of the same naysayers today came out against that then.

Now, they’re telling me, ‘Well, we should have done this 30 years ago.’

“Does every other community have it wrong and we have it right?” he asked, referring to the majority of school districts across the state who have built new schools in recent years.

Improved accessibility remains a dire need, retired IMS teacher Donna Houser added.

She recalled days when her husband helped carry a wheelchairbound student to the third floor of the middle school each day, a feat markedly similar to Jefferson Principal’s Brad Crusinbery today.

Several times a day Crusinbery carries a third-grader up and down two flights of stairs in Jefferson Elementary because she is unable to walk the stairs. The school lacks an elevator.

SKAHAN

has two children attending Lincoln Elementary School and her youngest, who is disabled, attends McKinley.

“From a parent of a special needs child, there’s so much needed” at McKinley, she said. “And that’s a little thing. I’ve seen the brown water coming out of sinks. It’s not right that janitors have to come in and run the water for 30 minutes before it can be used.

“It’s not 1960 or 1980 any more. It’s time for a change,” she said. “To me, he’s worth it. All of these kids are worth it.”

The district will host two other forums and a vendors fair in the runup to the election. The next forum is Oct. 9 at Lincoln.

The vendors fair, to find locals who might be able to participate in the construction project, will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Oct. 7 at the Riverside Park Community Building.

VOTERS will go to the polls Nov. 4 to decide on a pair of referendums for the proposed $50 million project —

an ad valorem tax levy that would increase property taxes a net 9 mills over what’s spent this year; and portions of a half-cent sales tax in front of Iola voters.

(The other half of the added sales tax revenues would go to the city for capital improvement projects).

Just as importantly, more than half of the funding (51 percent) for the bond and interest would come from state aid.

If approved, new elementary and high schools would be built, presumably on land sandwiched around the Prairie Spirit Trail on the north side of Oregon Road. Jefferson, Lincoln and McKinley elementary schools would close, as would Iola High School and its satellite buildings

Iolan Lesley Skahan, left, and Jefferson Elementary School Principal Brad Crusinbery tour the school’s basement Tuesday following a public forum detailing plans for new school construction in Iola. REGISTER/RICHARD LUKEN would close.

Meanwhile, crews would do some remodeling at Iola Middle School, “to make it last a little longer,” because the bond issue otherwise would be too expensive to build a new middle school at first.

The district’s needs fall in four categories: safety and security, including parking and traffic, accessibility and protection from severe weather; educational efficiencies, such as inadequate and inappropriate environments for

special education students and lack of technology at some schools; operational efficiencies (the increasing costs to maintain the district’s aging buildings; and providing an adequate educational environment.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

A guest editorial

Barely matters: ‘Revelation’ about Davis distracts from policy issues News surfaced Saturday that Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Paul Davis was found in a Montgomery County strip club when officers raided the establishment, whose owner was suspected of selling methamphetamine.

Based on the reaction, one might think the story just broke, with Davis found tossing “Davis for Governor” handbills on stage. In truth, however, the story occurred 16 years ago, when Davis was a 26-yearold rookie attorney. Davis wasn’t arrested or charged with any crime.

“In just the past two weeks, we have learned that Paul Davis has chosen to surround himself with meth dealers and sexual deviants. I think the question all Kansans want to know is, what else are you hiding, Paul?” Kansas GOP executive director Clay Barker said in an email announcement.

To be certain, being mentioned in a police report is something any politician in a tight race should have known would surface.

Whether a visit to a strip club is immoral is up to the individual making the judgement, and voters individually will weigh whether Davis’ strip club experience is more than they can look past at the ballot box.

But when the conversation about the future of Kansas turns to talk of sex, strippers and indiscretions from 16 years ago, the truth is that the opposition is hopeful the real news of the day will be overshadowed by some salacious scandal that has little, if anything, to do with public policy that has real meaning for Kansans.

So long as we’re talking about strip clubs, we’re not talking about the state’s number of uninsured resi-

dents nor its failure to expand Medicaid, which hurts rural hospitals and leaves upwards of 130,000 Kansans in a cruel coverage gap where they don’t qualify for a federal insurance subsidy and make too much for Medicaid.

As long as we talk about nudity, we’re not talking about inequity in the state’s tax code, which assesses labor but leaves free the fruit of capital. If we focus on lap dances, we’re not focused on efforts to strip Kansas counties of their authority to regulate business activity within their borders.

When we talk about poor choices from 16 years ago, we’re not talking about poor decisions that are being made today that increase childhood poverty, squeeze the state’s education system, shift the tax burden to local property owners and remove support services for the state’s most vulnerable families.

When we talk about sketchy businesses, we’re not thinking about a Legislature that is bullied and pushed around by the state’s richest and most powerful business lobbyists.

It’s little wonder that a group of people who have worked so hard to strip Kansas of its rich history of fair taxation, strong education and pragmatic approach to progress would rather see voters talking about Davis’ experience with a woman stripping off her clothes.

If it is perfection Kansans want in their governor, they’ll not find it in Sam Brownback or Paul Davis.

That leaves voters with a choice between what sort of imperfections and faults they’re willing to tolerate and which candidate’s history of poor choices is the most destructive to Kansas’ future.

Today in history Today is Wednesday, Sept. 24, the 267th day of 2014. There are 98 days left in the year. The Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, begins at sunset.

Today’s Highlight in History

On Sept. 24, 1789, President George Washington signed a Judiciary Act establishing America’s federal court system and creating the post of attorney general.

On this date:

In 1869, thousands of businessmen were ruined in a Wall Street panic known as “Black Friday” after financiers Jay Gould and James Fisk attempted to corner the gold market.

In 1934, Babe Ruth made his farewell appearance as a player with the New York Yankees in a game against the Boston Red

Sox. (The Sox won, 5-0.)

In 1955, President Dwight D. Eisenhower suffered a heart attack while on vacation in Denver.

In 1960, the USS Enterprise, the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, was launched at Newport News, Virginia. “The Howdy Doody Show” ended a nearly 13-year run with its final telecast on NBC. In 1976, former hostage Patricia Hearst was sentenced to seven years in prison for her part in a 1974 bank robbery in San Francisco carried out by the Symbionese Liberation Army. (Hearst was released after 22 months after receiving clemency from President Jimmy Carter.)

Five years ago: With President Barack Obama presiding, the U.N. Security Council unanimously

secretary Josh Earnest, in his noon briefing, said the Secret Service was reviewing “technical or physical security enhancements that may be necessary” but would see to it that “the White House continues to be the people’s house.”

Josh Lederman of the Associated Press asked whether President Obama would favor an expanded security perimeter. Earnest deferred to the “highly experienced professionals at the United States Secret Service.”

Major Garrett of CBS News asked if Obama has an opinion on installing a second fence. “The president is going to leave it up to the professionals, the United States Secret Service,” Earnest said.

But the Secret Service, which proposed closing Pennsylvania Avenue in 1995 after the Oklahoma City bombing, doesn’t exist to protect constitutional rights; left to its own devices, it would install an iron dome over the White House. Few would object to discreet changes to boost security. But it’s another matter to impose sweeping new restrictions because of the latest in a long line of fence-jumpers.

(One earlier this month wore a Pikachu hat and carried a Pokemon doll.)

On Pennsylvania Avenue on Monday, some sensible, if laborintensive, precautions were in place. Several agents and an explosive-sniffing chocolate Labrador were on duty. Security vans were in the driveway, and a uniformed agent stood on the North Portico.

But does the agency have the manpower to keep that up rather than turning the White House into a fortress? In the closed-to-traffic section of the road, a Secret Service cruiser patrolled with an unusual url on its rear (www.secretservice.gov/join) directing people to the Secret Service recruitment page — a sign of an agency in need of new agents, as well as money to retain those it has.

Letter to the editor endorsed a sweeping strategy aimed at halting the spread of nuclear weapons and ultimately eliminating them. The heads of the Group of 20 nations began a two-day meeting in Pittsburgh aimed at making sure a fledgling global recovery remained on track.

One year ago: Tea party conservative Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, began an old-style filibuster lasting nearly 22 hours over President Barack Obama’s health care law.

Thought for Today: “There was never a nation great until it came to the knowledge that it had nowhere in the world to go for help.” — Charles Dudley Warner, American author and editor (1829-1900).

Dear editor,

This past weekend the 33rd annual Sunbelt Rodeo took place at Parsons State Hospital indoor rodeo arena. It was attended by 11 participants, two coaches, and three volunteers from this area.

The Sunbelt Rodeo is a special rodeo that is adapted to people with special needs. It has four levels of events to suit the needs of participants.

It is attended by cowboys and cowgirls from Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas.

For several years Canada sent teams until it developed a rodeo of the same type.

The rodeo is each September.

It is a pleasure to see young people from basketball teams, volleyball teams, soccer teams, 4-H, etc., working as volunteers.

If this sounds like something you would enjoy watching, participating in or volunteering for, contact Sheila Ramsey at the Parsons State Hospital, 620-421-6500, or visit the website at pshendowment. org for information.

I also want to mention the beautiful, well-behaved horses — and a mule one year — that make it possible to have this rodeo. They are a delight to watch.

Beth Griffeth, Iola, Kan.

Baker stressed the importance of creating “brand loyalty,” a marketing term that refers to satisfied customers who become loyal customers and then, “recommend you to their friends and family.”

“We need to focus our efforts on creating more satisfied customers,” he said.

IN OTHER news, an orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Shane Fejfar of Coffey County Hospital, will begin seeing patients at ACRH starting Thursday. Dr. Fejfar has practiced at the Burlington hospital for about one year. He will see patients in Iola every Thursday.

Also on Thursday, hospital staff will do a final “walkthrough” of the hospital with architects from Health Facilities Group, Wichita, and construction management personnel from Murray Construction, Kansas City, Kan., to inspect any lingering problems.

“If it’s on the punch list, they have a contractual obligation to complete those items before we release the final payment to them,” Baker said.

Trustees approved a part-time position for the purpose of public relations, marketing and building an endowment for the hospital. The new hire will also work with Susan Michael, director of the Allen County Community Foundation, in learning how to attract donations.

gram that helps the elderly is in the works, Baker said. Known as geropsychology, the outpatient program helps older persons and their families overcome problems with behavioral issues through individual, family, and group therapy sessions.

“This will bring new psychiatric services to our community,” Baker said, through onsite visits and the use of telemedicine where patients confer with a psychiatrist over the Internet.

Most of the patients will come from nursing homes where they may be experiencing behavioral issues. Typically patients come in three days a week for four hours a day to receive treatment. The program helps patients work on behavioral control issues, plus gives nursing home staff a respite in handling difficult patients.

Such programs also help answer the problem that patients today with behavioral issues are limited to how long they can spend in a hospital.

“It used to be patients would stay 30 days in a hospital to be sure their medications are effective. Today, the time limit is 12 days,” Baker said, again because of new guidelines established by the insurance industry.

The program will be a positive to the hospital’s bottom line, Baker said, in addition to providing a valuable service to the community. “It’s not an expensive program to run,” Baker said. The administrative suites in the Iola Medical Arts Building will be used for the outpatient clinic.

The hospital will contract with Senior Life Solutions to provide services. Solutions is part of Psychiatric Medical Care, a business based in Nashville, Tenn.

Tank shifts, crushes worker WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A well-known boxer is dead after a Wichita industrial accident in which a 6-ton tank shifted unexpectedly and fell on him while he was sandblasting it.

The Wichita Eagle reports the man, 22-year-old Tony Losey, was under a tarp out-

side Boardman working on the tank when it fell onto him Tuesday afternoon.

Wichita police say Losey was a subcontractor at the steel plate fabricator. Sgt. John Ryan says it’s rare for the tanks, which fall several times a year, to injure workers because

In addition, MOMs member Lesley Skahan noted the businesses, churches, families and friends who donated to the cause, some a penny at a time.

“A lot of people had a hand in it,” Skahan said.

“They did it to make our dream come true.”

Berkley Kerr, Iola parks superintendent, noted how vital the collaborative spirit was to the project.

“They found out pretty quickly how much playground equipment was, and they knew that original $25,000 wasn’t going to go very far,” Kerr said.

“For them to get the entire community’s support was impressive.”

The equipment features slides, swings, climbing areas, merrygo-rounds and other amenities, all of which are designed for children to use, even those with disabilities.

Endicott leads the way with a gold medal

By SPENCER MICHELSON The Iola Register

Iola High’s boys varsity cross country team won the team event at the Doc Stiles Invitational Cross Country Meet thanks to a strong run by individual winner Kohl Endicott.

Endicott completed the 5k run in 17 minutes, 22 seconds — 38 seconds faster than the second place finisher from Pittsburg. Iola’s Braden Plumlee placed fifth with a time of 18:16. Isaiah Fawson was close behind in 12th with a time of 19:11, while Travis Hermstein followed at 19:18 for 15th.

Blaine Klubek came in 22nd with a 19:46 mark. Jonathan Tidd placed 57th, finishing in 22:32.

“Kohl ran a very good race again,” head coach Marv Smith said. “He was third in the early stages, but when he took the lead, he continued to pull away.”

Smith said Pittsburg’s coach told him Iola had a better score, but didn’t relax until he saw it on paper.

Although the varsity girls were one runner short to qualify for a team score, they all had solid times. Olivia Taylor led Iola in the 4k, finishing in 17:47 for 11th. Just a few seconds later at 17:52, Megan Klubek came in 14th place. Abigail Taylor followed at 18:10 for 17th and Jo Lohman came in 21st with a time of 18:36.

“Our girls ran as a team during most of the race,” Smith said. “Abigail and Megan had

a little lead on Olivia and Jo until they disappeared behind the college for about one mile.

When they came into view again, Olivia had taken the lead. It was nice that each girl medaled individually.”

Iola’s JV girls were led by Addie Pratherh who finished the 4k in 51st in 24:31. She was followed by Klair Vogal, who finished in 25:42 for 56th.

Iola didn’t have anyone run in the JV boys race.

For the seventh grade races, both the boys and girls ran one mile. Iola’s girls followed each other one after the other. Alysia Kunkler placed second in 6:49, Kelsey Morrison followed in third at 7:09 and Rachel Bycroft came in fourth with a time of 7:29. On the boys’ side, Elijah Fawson came in first with a 6:08 mark. River Hess placed seventh in 7:24. Eason Cheung followed in 12th with a 7:47 mark. Royce Smith came in 15th at 7:54. Braiden DeGrado placed 18th in 8:11, Jeremy Ridge followed in 19th at 8:20 and Orion Roach came in 20th with a 9:28 mark.

The eighth graders ran a two mile race and didn’t have times. For the girls, Natalie DeGrado took fifth. For the boys, Jack Eyster came in fourth and David Petty placed sixth.

“I thought our middle schoolers ran really well for not being in competition for the past two weeks,” Smith said.

YATES CENTER’S varsity boys team placed fourth. Brett Holloway came in fourth in

18:06. Drake Busteed placed sixth with a time of 18:32.

Hayden Splechter finished in 20:09 for 28th place. Eli Spencer placed 51st with a time of 22:03. Braydon Gualding followed in 59th at 22:40.

For the varsity girls, Aubrey Smith finished in 24:39 for 45th and was followed by Dakota McNett at 24:49 for 46th.

Cayden Hartwig led Yates Center’s JV boys with a 20:06 finish for 47th. Jon Barnes followed in 68th with a time of 30:56.

Melanie Hegwald finished in 50th for the JV girls race in a time of 24:29.

For the seventh grade boys, Rocky Petit finished 16th with a time of 7:55. Hadley Splechter finished in first place for the eighth grade boys, while Damion Sturgill finished in ninth.

HUMBOLDT’s varsity boys were led by 11th place finisher Tanner Orth with a time of 19:10. Joe Kline followed in 19th with a 19:38 mark. Ethan Bartlett came in 37th in 20:33.

Brady Slocum finished in 23:42 for 72nd.

Padyne Durand represented Humboldt’s lone varsity girls runner, finishing in 19:32 for 34th.

Layton Gillespie led the JV boys with a 17:18 mark for 10th place. Matthew Sanders followed in 29th, finishing in 18:30. Miah Schemann took 47th with a time of 19:55. John Hole finished 54th with a 20:38 mark.

IMS eighth grade volleyball wins Iola Middle School squared off against Anderson County in volleyball Tuesday afternoon.

18. Nissa Fountain had two points. Haley Carlin had five points. Sydni Keagle had two points. Breanna Northcutt had six points. Gaby Lampe had three points.

The B-Team lost in three sets, 25-19, 13-25 and 13-15.

Northcutt had seven points. Annika Hobbs and Carlie Payne had four points.

Raylea Wilson had two points.

“These girls are all playing hard and have made great improvements,” Sprague said.

Roberts circles the wagons Palin to stump TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Former Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin is coming to Kansas to stump for Sen. Pat Roberts’ re-election campaign.

A person familiar with the Roberts campaign told The Associated Press that Palin will be at a pancake breakfast in Independence on Thursday.

Palin’s appearance is part of a week of events featuring Republican heavyweights. Roberts is locked in a competitive race with independent candidate and Olathe businessman Greg Orman.

Former GOP presidential nominee Bob Dole was stumping Monday and Tuesday for Roberts. Arizona Sen. John McCain had an event Wednesday in Overland Park, and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is expected to be in Wichita on Monday.

TV ads launched TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A conservative political action committee is launching a television ad in the U.S. Senate race in Kansas attacking the independent challenger to three-term Republican incumbent Pat Roberts.

The Freedom Partners Action Fund says it is spending “six figures” on the ad against Greg Orman beginning Tuesday. The PAC is part of the political network of billionaire businessmen Charles and David Koch.

The 30-second spot notes that Orman contributed to President Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign and to other Democrats.

It says a vote for Orman is another vote for Obama.

Obama received 38 percent of the vote in GOP-leaning Kansas in 2012.

Orman is a 45-yearold Olathe businessman running as a centrist.

His campaign notes past contributions to Republicans, including moderate GOP Sen. Scott Brown of Massachusetts in 2010.

ACC volleyball sweeps Allen Community College's volleyball team swept Wentworth Military Academy Tuesday in three sets.

The Red Devils won 25-20, 25-15 and 25-21.

“Although we saw many areas of the game improve overall this evening, there are still major focuses that this team is going to work on,” coach Jessica Peters said. “Tonight we

played a point for point in the first and third sets, with seeing a major run from the Red Devils in the second set for a large point spread win.”

Peters said the team needs to focus on keeping the errors down and giving points to the opponent. Otherwise, Allen could be on the other end of a successful night.

Andonae Magdziarz led the team with 13 kills and hit .355.

Raquel West had 21 assists and an ace, while Madi Maquire had 17 assists. Halley Scott had 26 digs.

CLEVELAND (AP) — With another win, the Royals stepped closer to history and a playoff berth.

They’ve got a much bigger goal in mind.

Rookie Yordano Ventura blanked Cleveland’s punchless offense for seven innings as Kansas City kept pressure on first-place Detroit in the AL Central with a 7-1 win over the Indians on Tuesday night.

Following the game, the Royals retreated to their clubhouse to watch the ninth inning of the Tigers’ 5-4 win over Chicago. As they ate their postgame meals, Kansas City’s players roared loudly when the White Sox scored three runs in the ninth to tie it. It got much quieter when Miguel Cabrera delivered a game-winning hit to keep the Tigers one game ahead of Kansas City.

Still, the Royals are stalking.

Manager Ned Yost knows his club almost has a wild-card berth locked up. However, he’s got his sights on a bigger prize.

“I’m not really interested in the wild card right now,” Yost said.

“That (magic) number doesn’t mean much to me. The wild card has always been Plan B. We’re in good shape right now. Our focus is on winning this division.”

The hard-throwing Ventura (14-10) allowed four singles and threw a 100 mph fastball on his 104th pitch.

Salvador Perez’s twoout, two-run double off Danny Salazar (6-8) put the Royals ahead 5-0 in the fifth and they turned their attention to the left-field scoreboard to monitor the Tigers’ score. Kansas City remained one game out of first with five games left.

It’s been 29 years since the Royals were in the postseason, and that run in 1985 ended with their only World Series

We didn’t win, which we set out to do. The only thing we can do now is play tomorrow and try to win that game.

— Terry Francona, Indians’ manager

title.

At 86-71, Kansas City matched its win total from last season. It’s the first time the Royals have had consecutive seasons with at least 86 victories since 1977-78.

The playoffs are within reach, but the Royals aren’t banking on anything just yet.

“We’ve got to stick to the plan,” first baseman Eric Hosmer said.

“We keep saying it over and over again, but it’s what you have to do as a team. We went out and took care of our business.”

The Indians’ faint playoff hopes grew dimmer. Cleveland trails Kansas City by 4 1/2 games in the wild-card chase with four games remaining.

Cleveland’s offense went into a funk at the worst time possible.

The Indians scored an unearned run in the eighth, ending a string of 19 straight scoreless innings.

Ventura made his major league debut against the Indians last September, a performance Indians manager Terry Francona called “electric.”

“We’re not hoping for electric tonight,” Francona said beforehand.

Ventura didn’t have to be. The Indians are currently powerless.

With a chance to stay in the race in the season’s final week, Cleveland is collapsing.

“We didn’t win, which we set out to do,” Francona said. “The only thing we can do now is play tomorrow and try to win that game.”

Omar Infante’s two-run double in the fourth gave the Royals a 2-0 lead, and with the Indians’ offense sputtering, Ventura had more than enough cushion to notch his fifth win in six starts and improve to 3-0 with a 1.57 ERA in five ca-

reer starts against the Indians. He’s 7-1 with a 2.02 ERA in his last eight starts in the division.

“He’s a special guy,” Yost said. “He has all the makings of being a high-level, upper-tier pitcher in the American League.”

In the fifth, Salazar, who struck out the side in the first two innings, got two quick outs before Hosmer doubled and scored on Billy Butler’s double. Alex Gordon was walked intentionally and Perez drove in two with his shot to left-center, the ball just clearing lunging left fielder Michael Brantley’s glove.

Salazar was dominant in the early going, getting six strikeouts in the first two innings with each whiff coming on a wicked changeup that badly fooled the Royals hitters.

He escaped a threat in the third, but Salazar wasn’t so fortunate in the fourth, when he walked Butler and gave up a single to Gordon before Infante pulled his double into the leftfield corner.

Kansas City has won 16 of its last 23 road games since Aug. 1.

Yost managed in his 770th game with the Royals, tying him with Dick Howser for the most in franchise history. Yost has a 370-400 record with the Royals since being hired in 2010. Yost had 457 wins as Milwaukee’s manager (2003-08).

LHP Jason Vargas (11-10), who has recorded the AL’s third-lowest ERA (2.42) on the road, starts the series finale for the Royals, who oddly lost as the home team on Monday when they dropped a suspended game. Trevor Bauer (58) goes for the Indians, who have lost each of his past four starts after winning four in a row and five of six.

Goodell discusses NFL conduct NEW YORK (AP) — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and chief assistant Troy Vincent have met with 11 former NFL players to discuss ways to improve the league’s personal conduct policy.

They met Tuesday with Hall of Famer Mike Singletary, plus Matt Birk, Eddie Mason, Patrick Kerney, Willie McGinest, Ro-

man Oben, Marty Lyons, Charles Way, Tony Paige, Scott Turner and Robert Porcher. More meetings are planned between the league and former players.

Vincent is the NFL’s vice president of football operations.

The NFL has faced heavy criticism of its personal conduct policy after incidents this

year involving Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson, Greg Hardy, Ray McDonald and Jonathan Dwyer. Goodell repeatedly has said he mishandled the punishment of Rice for punching his then-fiancee in a hotel elevator, and the league is re-examining how and when it should discipline players for violating the policy.

Chiefs relishing win over Miami

By DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The sense of relief at One Arrowhead Drive was palpable.

The first nine games last season were followed by what Chiefs coach Andy Reid calls “Victory Monday.” With the exception of some meetings and treatments, players were mostly given the day off as a reward for a winning performance the previous day.

It took three weeks before the Chiefs’ first “Victory Monday” this season.

Faced with the prospect of a 0-3 start, the injury-plagued team rallied for a 34-15 win in Miami on Sunday. Not only did it enhance the Chiefs’ postseason prospects, at least when put in historical context, it also gave them a boost of confidence heading into what could be the toughest stretch of games they will play this season.

Next up? Monday night at home against New England. After that are road games against playoff contenders San Francisco and San Diego, separated by a gethealthy bye week.

“Just a great feeling,” said Knile Davis, who ran for 132 yards and a touchdown in place of the injured Jamaal Charles. “You know, wins don’t come often. They are hard to get in the NFL. You get one, it’s just a great feeling.”

It was a comprehen-

hamstring injury that is throwing a curveball in his rookie season.

Thomas tried practicing last week but was shut down, and his status is still uncertain.

Then there’s right tackle Donald Stephenson, who will sit out Monday night to finish off his four-game suspension for violating the league’s policy on performance-enhancing substances.

His return can’t come soon enough for a beleaguered offensive line that allowed five sacks Sunday, and is on pace to allow nearly 60 sacks by the end of the season.

“Some of that, especially early, that was my responsibility,” Reid said. “We’re in longyardage situations, taking seven-step drops. I have to be a little smarter with the play call. And then the other ones, we have to make sure we block the right guys and do the right things.”

Those are quibbles, though. When the offense piles up nearly 200 yards rushing, scores more points than it did the first two games combined and overcomes a pair of turnovers and a safety with a series of long second-half drives, there is plenty positive to talk about.

“They’re developing certain character there,” Reid said. “You have to go through some tough times to develop that.

They’re playing hard, they’re eliminating the clutter and that’s a good foundation to start with.”

sive win, too. No fluke.

Despite playing without seven starters due to injuries and suspensions, the Chiefs dominated the Dolphins in just about every facet. Their defense held Miami to 332 yards of offense, and just a lone field goal in the first half, while an offense that has been unable to get on track through the first two weeks suddenly hit its stride without several of its biggest weapons.

Davis carried a surprising 32 times. Backup running back Joe McKnight, who wasn’t even in the NFL a year ago, caught six passes for 64 yards and two touchdowns. Tight end Travis Kelce, who was hurt all of last season, caught his first career touchdown pass.

“Coach Reid put me in the best situation possible to make plays,” McKnight said. “I just wanted to come out and help the teammates and just keep things going while Jamaal is out.”

Charles was the biggest name missing Sunday, and Reid sounded hopeful that the Pro Bowl running back would be available against the Patriots. Along with a light day Monday, he was giving players Tuesday and Wednesday off, too, with the game scheduled for Monday night.

For Charles, that means extra time off his sprained right ankle.

Wide receiver De’Anthony Thomas, who electrified Chiefs fans in the preseason, still hasn’t gotten on the field because of a

Dishwashers are for dishes, not car parts Dear Tom and Ray:

My wife says using our dishwasher as a parts cleaner is hurting our dishwasher. I say it is not. But I have learned to run an empty load after a load of parts so that all the dishes in the next load washed do not taste like transmission fluid.

It avoids the kids spitting out their milk like they have been poisoned. I also have learned the length of the wash cycle, so I can complete the process before my wife returns home. As a backup system, I have learned to set a timer so that I remember to remove the parts. I try to

Car Talk

Tom and Ray Magliozzi wipe all the transmission fluid, brake fluid, powersteering fluid or engine oil from the parts before washing them. The dishwasher really cleans those parts. Please settle this disagreement. — David Ray: I see two problems with this, David. Well, maybe more if you include your impending divorce and your kids hating you.

Tom: Problem 1 is environmental: You’re wash-

ing petroleum products off of automotive parts, and sending them down the drain.

Ray: That means they’re either contaminating your city’s rivers and streams, or that that stuff is going into your septic system and potentially leaching into your own groundwater. Neither one of those, if you think about it, is a good idea.

Tom: Problem 2 is that you’re potentially poisoning your kids. The reason they spit out their milk like they’ve been poisoned is because you’re poisoning them: They’re ingesting small quantities

This is also, if you think about it, not a good idea.

Ray: The key words being “if you think about it.”

Tom: If you really want to use a dishwasher to clean your car parts, then you need to set up a separate dishwasher in your garage with an appropriate way to capture the petroleum runoff.

RAY: My suggestion would be that you take the family dishwasher -- the one you’ve already contaminated -- and install that in the garage. Then buy your poor wife and kids a nice, clean, new one.

Is there hope for a tree-nut allergy cure?

Dear Dr. Roach: Can you tell me if there is any hope of a cure for tree-nut allergy, particularly for a child?

— X.M. Answer: Tree-nut allergies, like all allergies, vary in severity from mild to life-threatening. Allergies to tree nuts (these include walnuts, cashews, almonds and others) are common, are more likely to be severe, and tend to persist throughout lifetime. People with one tree-nut allergy may have others, and about 30 percent to 40 percent also may be allergic to peanuts (despite their being legumes, they share enough characteristics for co-allergic

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health reactions). Peanut and tree-nut allergies appear to be increasing in prevalence over time.

The mainstay of treatment is avoiding the allergen, which requires constant vigilance, careful reading of nutritional labels and a plan for treatment in case of ingestion, such as an epinephrine auto-injector.

Only about 15 percent to 20 percent of younger children will develop tolerance to (“outgrow”) their allergy.

County to review proposals

Health department’s new digs The SEK County Health Department is celebrating its open house today. Iola Area Chamber of Commerce members helped kick the day off with a ribbon cutting. Those in attendance were, from left, Chrissy Powell, Loren Korte, Shelia Lampe, Carl Slaugh, Connie Hill, CJ Lacy, Traci Ridge, DeeDee Martin, Ruby Gulick, Vicki Howard, Christie Joyce and Duane McGraw. REGISTER/KAYLA BANZET

Commissioners wait to tweak new contract had the city take control of emergency medical services on Jan. 1. Mainly, he feared there was “some ulterior motive” on the city’s part in the way ambulance backup for each of the stations — in Iola, Humboldt and Moran — was worded.

City Attorney Robert Johnson assured Works there was none.

Weber told the Register later he would await Works’ reworking of wording and then rewrite the contract for commissioners to consider next Tuesday. City council members aren’t scheduled to meet again until Oct. 13.

By BOB JOHNSON The Iola Register

Allen County Counselor Alan Weber will tweak a pending new five-year contract for Iola to provide ambulance service for all of the county.

County commissioners came to that conclusion Tuesday morning after Iola council members had approved wording in the document Monday night.

Commissioner Dick Works said he preferred some phrases be more like they were in the original contract, which

The primary change between the existing contract and the one that would be in force for the next five years is compensation Iola will receive.

The current contract guarantees run revenue of $750,000. The new contract will include payment of $250,000, bringing the annual guarantee to $1 million.

The additional money will come from tax proceeds, with the possibility that run revenue could meet part of that

responsibility.

Commissioner Jim Talkington said his opinion had not changed and he would not vote to increase the guarantee by $250,000.

“I think the service should be returned to the county,” he said. “I don’t want to give away $1 million and let someone else control it.

Works said he thought the county running the service was better, but didn’t “want to put that off on a new commission.”

Works will retire from the commission in early January and presumably be replaced by Jerry Daniels, who won the Republican primary election for the position and has no opponent in the Nov. 4 general election.

Williams and Talkington will start the third years of their four-year terms in January.

Allen County commissioners heard a presentation Tuesday from Burns and McDonnell, a Kansas City firm that has provided engineering services at Allen County’s landfill for many years. Commissioners heard proposals from two other firms earlier. They will pick a firm later.

In other news: Told Bill King, director of Public Works, to seek bids for a six-inch pump for use at the landfill.

One pump is in use at the landfill, another is needed, King said.

Groundwater and water seeping from refuge are the target.

— The old U.S. Weather Bureau building at 221 S. Jefferson Ave., used more recently for multicounty health service offices, will be offered for sale by sealed bids. Bidding will start at $49,000, the appraisal for the twostory brick building.
