By the numbers: Funding for new school campus would come from three sources

By BOB JOHNSON The Iola Register

If voters decide to build new elementary and high schools for USD 257, construction will be funded by myriad ways.

Of utmost advantage would be state funding of 51 percent.

Beyond that, district residents would pay a property tax levy and a quarter-cent sales tax would be levied.

Both the property and sales tax issue will be on the Nov. 3 ballot. Both must pass for the go-ahead.

The price tag for the new school campus north of town is $50 million. The 95-acre site is just north of Oregon Road.

The land w o u l d c o s t $521,000.

The site straddles the Prairie Spirit T r a i l .

The elementary Jack Koehn complex would be to the west of the rail trail; the high school to the east. Practice fields, parking and other support areas would be a part of the campus. The middle school, completely remodeled 20 years ago and considered See FINANCE | Page A4

Second Chance opens dog wash New teacher aims to

bring the classics alive

By KAREN INGRAM The Iola Register

Second Chance has had a lot of firsts, lately; a new location, paw prints decorating the sidewalk outside and now Iola’s first indoor dog wash.

The charity store welcomed its first dog wash customers on Friday.

Ginny Hawk, volunteer, said they have a brand new tub and grooming station, various shampoos and conditioners to choose from, combs and more. A donor even provided them with a brand new dryer.

Patti Whitcomb, Iola, said she saw the “coming soon” sign for the dog wash on Second Chance’s door and had been eagerly awaiting the service to become available. She and Bob Coffland were their first customers on Friday with their 13-year-old beagle-corgi mix, Rekkut.

“I hope it goes over well and they can continue, because it’s something I’ll definitely be using,” Whitcomb said.

It’s a do-it-yourself service.

Customers wash their pets themselves.

Prices for dogs up to 15 pounds is $10, for dogs between 15 and 50 pounds, $12, and for those over 50 pounds the price is $15. All proceeds go to benefit Allen County Animal Rescue Facility.

Neodesha loses bid for new trial against BP TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Neodesha has lost its latest bid to retry a classaction lawsuit claiming BP of North America should do more to clean up industrial pollution from a refinery that closed in 1970.

The Kansas Court of Appeals on Friday rejected the request from residents and officials of Neodesha, who sued in 2004 for more than $478 million in cleanup costs plus damages.

A jury in Wilson County ruled for BP in 2007, finding that BP had fulfilled its duty to clean up contamination traced to the refinery that operated from 1897 until it was dismantled in 1970.

But the trial judge set the verdict aside in 2008, concluding he gave jurors improper instructions.

BP appealed the judge’s action and the Kansas Supreme Court reinstated the jury’s verdict in 2012. The plain-

tiffs then filed for a new trial based on new arguments about errors in the first proceeding, which lasted 17 weeks.

In its ruling Friday, the Court of Appeals acknowledged problems in the way the initial trial was conducted, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported.

“We cannot conclude that this was a perfect trial, but we see no good reason to conclude that the court should have granted a new trial,” Judge Stephen Hill wrote on behalf of the three-judge panel.

The relationship between Neodesha and BP has been contentious since the closing of what was then the Amoco Oil refinery, which was originally built by Standard Oil. The loss of Neodesha’s principle industry for some 70 years threatened the economic viability of the southeast Kansas community of 2,700 resi-

Two-headed turtle born in Arkansas AMAGON, Ark. (AP) — A two-headed snapping turtle has been born in Northeast Arkansas.

The Jonesboro Sun reports the baby turtle was discovered last week at the NEA Turtle Farm in Amagon.

An employee says the common snapper was discovered among a group of 30,000 that will be shipped to China.

Workers say they previously found a hatchling with one neck and two

heads that died in birth.

Others have been born with too many legs or no tails.

A state biologist says turtle mutations are rare, but are becoming more common.

Another employee says the turtles are typically sold for education or research, but that they are looking for a home for the unnamed two-headed turtle. He says the animal is for sale and will probably go to a collector.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Officials say Kansas City plays a central role in a gang scheme that hires homeless people to cash counterfeit checks.

Assistant U.S. Attorney John Cowles says the scheme — dubbed Operation Homeless — has cost Kansas City area banks about $1 million in recent years. He calculated the loss nationwide at more than $10 million.

A break in the case came in October 2011 when an Olathe convenience store manager was cleaning up his trash bins and noticed a large amount of what appeared to be stolen mail. The resulting inquiry into mail thefts at 20 Johnson County,

Kansas, businesses led to a national bank fraud investigation, The Kansas City Star reported. About half of the 60 people prosecuted nationwide for hiring homeless people to pass counterfeit business checks have been charged in Kansas City and Springfield.

Almost everybody prosecuted for this crime has ties to, or is a member of, a Bloods street gang that works two neighborhoods in one Atlanta ZIP code, 30317, Cowles said.

“They’re all from Atlanta, and they’re all doing the scheme the same way,” Cowles said. “Some of them are related to each other.

Some live in the same neighborhood.”

Details of the scam came to light this past week at the federal trial of Marion Norwood, a 46-year-old check printer from Atlanta who led crews into Kansas City in late 2012 and early 2013. The jury deliberated less than an hour Wednesday before convicting Norwood.

Here’s how the scheme works: Criminals break into shared mailboxes outside business and industrial parks and look for payroll checks or payments to vendors. With checks in hand, printers — like Norwood — duplicate the checks on computers, down to signatures and bank routing numbers.

Two other crew members, designated as the

driver and the recruiter, then cruise homeless shelters, looking for someone willing to cash the checks. Next, the driver and the recruiter text the names of the homeless people to the printer.

Often, the driver and recruiter take the homeless people to a motel for a shower, a shave and a change of clothes before the check is cashed. The homeless person generally receives 10 percent of the face value, or $200 for a $2,000 payroll check.

“This is a huge problem for our service,” said Steve Ryan, an inspector for the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.

Conservationists, developers clash over snake GREAT BEND, Kan. (AP) — State officials are considering easing regulatory protection of a short, reclusive snake found in northeast Kansas.

The possible change comes amid complaints that the redbelly snake’s designation as a threatened species has held up developments. When a species is listed as threatened, developers must obtain a permit and take steps to mitigate the harm caused by their projects.

The Hutchinson News reports that the Threatened and Endangered Species Task dents.

Amoco Oil closed the refinery after the advent of federal cleanair laws. The city used $5,000 in Amoco money to demolish some refinery structures and begin development of an industrial park that eventually provided some replacement jobs.

After tests by state and federal officials showed high levels of

Force, which is chaired by a Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism biologist, recommended that the snake remain listed as threatened.

But the department’s secretary, Robin Jennison, exercised his authority to alter the recommendation and urged downgrading the snake to a “species in need of conservation,” which would provide it less protection. The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism Commission is expected to consider changes to the redbelly snake and several other contaminants in water both above and below the ground in Neodesha, BP — which purchased Amoco in 1998 — began its own cleanup effort to meet state standards.

But local government officials and residents filed suit six years later, concerned that toxic materials still threatened much of the town.

Vanishing gnome scandal rocks Austria VIENNA (AP) — A leading Austrian political party has issued a garden gnome alert after 400 of its figurines disappeared from lamp posts used in campaigning.

Placed by the Socialist Party ahead of elections in western Austria, the gnomes were hung three meters (more than three yards) from the ground — presumably in part to prevent mass pilfering. But a party statement Monday said that

400 gnomes, valued at around 3,000 euros ($4,000), had gone missing over the weekend.

The party suspects the heists were less outright theft and more dirty electioneering, accusing the rival conservative People’s Party of being behind the disappearances. It notes that some of the gnomes have been replaced by People’s Party posters.

The People’s Party denies involvement in the gnome scandal.

species when it convenes in October.

During a commission meeting Thursday at the Kansas Wetlands Education Center near Great Bend, representatives of the Kansas Wildlife Federation and the Kansas Chapter of the Sierra Club spoke in favor of leaving the redbelly snake as “threatened.” The latter organization also objected to another recommendation before the commission to change the status of the smooth earth snake from threatened to a species in need of conservation.

“Who’s driving your

“I’m very concerned that we are going to lose public support for what we do,” Jennison said. “We need to not use a hammer.”

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Nothing professional about the name ‘Redskins’ The Washington Post has for many years urged the local football team to change its name. The term “Redskins,” we wrote in 1992, “is really pretty offensive.” The team owner then, Jack Kent Cooke, disagreed, and the owner now, Daniel M. Snyder, disagrees, too. But the matter seems clearer to us now than ever, and while we wait for the National Football League to catch up with thoughtful opinion and common decency, we have decided that, except when it is essential for clarity or effect, we will no longer use the slur ourselves.

That’s the standard we apply to all offensive vocabulary, and the team name unquestionably offends not only many Native Americans but many other Americans, too.

We were impressed this week by the quiet integrity of Mike Carey, who recently retired after 19 seasons as one of the NFL’s most respected referees. As recounted by Post columnist Mike Wise, Mr. Carey asked the league not to assign him to officiate any Washington games and, since 2006, the league

granted his request. He never made any announcement about it. “It just became clear to me that to be in the middle of the field, where something

disrespectful is happening, was probably not the best thing for me,” Mr. Carey said.

We don’t believe that fans who are attached to the name

have racist feeling or intent, any more than does Mr. Snyder. But the fact remains: The word is insulting. You would not dream of calling anyone

a “redskin” to his or her face.

You wouldn’t let your son or daughter use it about a person, even within the privacy of your home. As Post columnist Charles Krauthammer wrote on the opinion page last year, “I wouldn’t want to use a word that defines a people — living or dead, offended or not — in a most demeaning way.”

What we are discussing here is a change only for editorials. Unlike our colleagues who cover sports and other news, we on the editorial board have the luxury of writing about the world as we would like it to be. Nor do we intend to impose our policy on our readers. If you write a letter about football and want to use the team name, we aren’t going to stop you.

But as Mr. Carey noted, every time the R-word is used, something disrespectful is happening. We hope Mr. Snyder and the NFL will acknowledge that truth sooner rather than later. In the meantime, we’ll do our best not to contribute to the disrespect. ­— The Washington Post

The Kochs: Vast wealth shapes US politics Billionaire brothers rooted in conservatism

By NANCY BENAC Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — A primer on the Koch brothers and their role in politics.

Q: Who are the Koch brothers?

A: Charles and David Koch, ages 78 and 74, are billionaire brothers who helped create a broad network of nonprofit groups that control hundreds of millions of dollars flowing into poli- David Koch tics. Through their deep pockets, they are reshaping politics with an uncompromising agenda of reducing regulation, advancing libertarian ideas, promoting freemarket Republican candidates and ousting Democrats.

They have two other brothers, William and Frederick, who aren’t involved in the effort.

Q: Where did they get their money?

A: The Kochs inherited their father’s company in Kansas, and turned Wichitabased Koch Industries into the second-largest privately held company in the nation.

The conglomerate makes a wide range of products including Dixie cups, chemicals, jet fuel, fertilizer, electronics, toilet paper and much more.

William and Frederick cashed out in 1983 and no longer have a stake in the company.

Q: How rich are Charles and David?

A: With a fortune estimated at $41 billion each, Charles and David tie for fourth on Forbes’ list of the richest Americans, and tie for sixth on Forbes’ worldwide billionaires list.

Q: What’s their secret?

A: Charles, chairman and CEO of Koch Industries, attributes the company’s success to his business philosophy, “Market-Based Management,” which he’s trademarked.

Among its components: hiring and retaining people with the right values, and giving Charles Koch employees a bigger voice in decision-making. The company’s growth strategy also includes reinvesting 90 percent of earnings.

Q: How much money do Charles and David put into politics?

A: That’s the big question.

It’s unanswered because the Kochs channel lots of money into nonprofit groups that don’t have to identify their donors. The Washington Post and the Center for Responsive Politics have calculated that the donor network organized by the Kochs took in at least $407 million in the 2012 election cycle. However, not all of that money came from the Kochs themselves.

David Koch’s charitable giving has included $58 million donated to nonprofits that could include groups such as Americans for Prosperity, the CATO Institute and the Heritage Foundation, according to company spokeswoman Missy Cohlmia. In addition, the two brothers’ direct political contributions to federal candidates and party committees totaled at least than $2 million over the past two decades.

Q: What motivates them?

A: Family patriarch Fred Koch, who built refineries in the Soviet Union in the 1930s, became convinced of the evils of communism and instilled in his sons an aversion to government intrusion. As David said of their father in a 2012 interview with The Wichita Eagle, he “was extraordinarily fearful of our government becoming much more socialistic and domineering. ... So from the time we were teenagers to the present, we’ve been very concerned and worried about our government evolving into a very controlling, socialist type of government.”

Company’s direction splits siblings

By NANCY BENAC Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — They are an outsized force in modern American politics, the best-known brand of the big money era, yet still something of a mystery to those who cash their checks.

Meet the Koch brothers.

(Pronounced like the cola.)

Perhaps the first thing you need to know is that there are four of them.

Charles is the steady, driven one. He’s grounded in the Kansas soil of their birth.

David is his outgoing younger brother. He’s a New Yorker now and pronounces himself forever changed by a near-death experience.

William is David’s freespirited twin, a self-described contrarian whose pursuits beyond business include sailing, collecting things and suing people, including his brothers.

And then there’s Frederick, the oldest, who’s as likely to turn up in Monte Carlo as at his apartment on New York’s Fifth Avenue. He doesn’t have much to do with the rest of the lot.

They’re all fabulously wealthy, all donate lavishly to charity, all tall — Frederick is the shortest at 6-foot-2 — and all are prostate cancer survivors. Beyond that, there are plenty of differences.

Charles and David are the billionaire businessmen who are pouring millions into politics. Bill and Freddie, as they’re known in the family, cut their ties to the family business decades ago and don’t display the same passion to change the world.

As Bill sizes up his siblings during an interview with The Associated Press: “David and I like off-color jokes, Freddie likes more sophisticated jokes.” Charles?

“Charles likes golf.” ***** Charles and David, in sync on business and politics, are miles apart in geography and style.

Charles is the white-haired alpha male at the helm of Koch Industries. Midwest-

ern through and through, the 78-year-old still walks up four flights of stairs to work at Koch headquarters in Wichita each morning and eats lunch in the company cafeteria.

After building Koch Industries into the nation’s second-largest private company, he turned his business philosophy into a book, “The Science of Success.”

“He’s the most focused person I’ve ever met in my life,” says Koch general counsel Mark Holden. “A purposedriven life, that’s Charles.”

Charles wrote in The Wall Street Journal this spring that in recent years he’s seen “the need to also engage in the political process.”

And how.

He and David have created a sprawling network of groups working to promote free-market views, eliminate government regulations, fight President Barack Obama’s health care law, oppose an increase in the minimum wage, shift control of the Senate to Republicans and oust Democrats from office. ***** David, a Koch executive vice president and board member, keeps a higher profile. He ran for vice president as a Libertarian ticket in 1980 and chairs Americans For Prosperity Foundation, a tax-exempt corner of the brothers’ network.

At 74, with a distinctive bray of a laugh and an awshucks manner, David is literally a fixture in New York. His name is splashed across many of his charitable causes. Among them: the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center and the forthcoming David H. Koch Center for ambulatory care at New York-Presbyterian Hospital. (He committed $100 million to each).

David’s giving escalated after two searing experiences: his survival in a 1991 plane crash that killed 34 people, and a subsequent diagnosis of prostate cancer that left him believing he didn’t have long to live. (His brothers all began regular testing, and

caught their cancers much earlier.)

“When you’re the only one who survived in the front of the plane and everyone else died — yeah, you think, ‘My God, the good Lord spared me for some greater purpose,’” David once said.

David is equally passionate about politics, once telling a reporter for the liberal blog ThinkProgress, when asked if he was proud of Americans for Prosperity, “You bet I am, man oh man.” ***** And what of Bill and Freddie — the other Koch brother and the other other Koch brother?

Bill, 74, worked for Koch Industries in the 1970s, but grew frustrated with what he saw as Charles’ autocratic management style and the corporate money his brother put into politics.

What came next played out over two decades: Bill and Freddie tried unsuccessfully to oust Charles as chief executive. Bill got fired. Charles and David bought out their brothers for a combined $800 million. Bill had second thoughts and sued for more.

Charles and David won.

“Financially, we probably made a bad deal,” Bill says, then adds: “In my life, I’m happier than I ever have been when I was working at Koch Industries. I’m my own person.”

Today, he runs his own energy company, Oxbow Carbon LLC and ranks 122nd on Forbes’ richest-people list.

He’s stopped collecting artwork because he’s “run out of wall space.” But he’s still suing people, spending more than $25 million on lawsuits against dealers he’s accused of selling fake wine.

Freddie, who turns 81 on Tuesday, loves restoring castles and historical houses.

“I think he’s a resident of Monaco,” says Bill, “but he has a place in New York, he has a place in London, he has a place in Austria — he bought Archduke Ferdinand’s hunting castle — he has a place in Monaco and then he has a place in Butler, Pennsylvania.”

6.0 earthquake rattles Napa, Calif. Dog: New station NAPA, Calif. (MCT) — The little-known West Napa Fault shook for about 20 seconds early Sunday, enough to leave the San Francisco Bay Area with its biggest earthquake in 25 years — wrecking historic wine country buildings, buckling streets, emptying store shelves, rupturing gas and water lines, and sending about 170 people to the hospital.

The 6.0-magnitude earthquake, centered about six miles south of the city of Napa, was a reminder to Californians that it takes much less than the dreaded Big One to unleash substantial damage and fray a community’s nerves.

If there was consolation in the small towns and bucolic countryside of Napa County, home to hundreds of wineries, it was that the quake struck at 3:20 a.m., when most people were home in the relative safety of their beds. No one died and only half a dozen suffered serious injuries, including a boy crushed by a falling fireplace.

Gov. Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency for the area, where more than 30,000 residents from Napa, St. Helena, Santa Rosa, Sonoma and American Canyon were still without power by late afternoon. A series of minor aftershocks sustained an air of tension for residents and visitors, who

were crowding the area during the peak tourist season of late summer.

The magnitude was less than the 6.9 of the 1989 Loma Prieta quake, which killed 63 and caused $6 billion in damage. But that was of no solace to those terrorized by Sunday’s temblor, with shaking so violent residents described struggling to get out of bed. “You anticipate the Big One all your life,� said Kim Northrop, owner of a vintage shop in Napa that was damaged. “It’s part of what you expect living in California. Just not on some Sunday in August.�

The quake caused a series of secondary emergencies.

Broken gas lines in the Napa Valley Mobile Home Park touched off a fire.

With water lines in the neighborhood also broken, firefighters could not immediately douse the flames, and four mobile homes burned to their concrete foundations.

Many of the 60 water main breaks in Napa remained unrepaired Sunday evening, said Napa Public Works Director Jack LaRochelle, who predicted that it could take a week to get service completely restored.

Inspectors red-tagged at least 15 commercial buildings and 100 homes, the designation marking the structures as unsafe for entry, pending further review.

She earned her bachelor of science degree in education from Emporia State University. “I knew about Iola when I was in high school,� she said. That familiarity helped Hampton decide to accept the position at IHS. “I knew about the community and it seemed like the right size school for me.�

Dan Kavarian, chief building official for the City of Napa, walks around the downtown area red tagging buildings that were deemed unsafe after a 6.0 earthquake hit the area on Sunday. MCT/Rick Loomis Some of Napa’s landmark structures — including the Sam Kee Laundry, Goodman Library, the Napa County Courthouse and Vintner’s Collective building — bore some of the worst damage. Napa City Councilman Alfredo Pedroza feared that the vintner’s building and the library could be total losses.

Although Napa took the brunt of the temblor, Vallejo — several miles south of the epicenter — sustained “quite a bit of damage,� said Mark S. Ghilarducci, director of the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services.

In downtown Vallejo, part of the outer wall of the First United Methodist Church, built in 1922, crashed to the sidewalk. Inside, the floor was littered with plaster and paint chips, and a stuffed toy had fallen

from a shelf, but there was little other visible damage, said the Rev. Renee Rico. Inside, congregants were attending its Sunday service. “I’ve had churches that had major fires,�

Rico said. “So this is nothing.�

An early-warning system being tested at the University of California, Berkeley signaled the quake about 10 seconds before the shaking, said Richard Allen, director of the university’s Seismological Laboratory.

The quake could disrupt the region’s signature industry. Wineries, shops and private cellars were littered with broken bottles and barrels of wine. The crisis came at a peak business period, with the Napa Valley teeming with wine-tasting excursions and wedding parties.

English, Hampton will also instruct the introduction class to photography. Hampton is no stranger to a camera lens. She has three professional photographers in her family. “We will learn the different aspects of photography, different careers in the field and keep a photo journal,� she said.

In her spare time Hampton said she enjoys watching her brother play football at Emporia State. She is the oldest of three. She also enjoys doit-yourself projects. “I like to do hands-on projects,� she said. “I enjoy cooking, knitting, crocheting and crossstitching.�

This is Hampton’s first year teaching.

failed. “We have every intention of lowering the capital outlay levy by 2 mills next year if the bond issue passes,� he said.

The 8-mill capital outlay levy would leave the overall adjusted mill levy increase in 2015-16 at 9.19 mills with new schools, and at 7.19 mills with a 2-mill decrease in the capital outlay fund levy beyond next school year.

ALL THOSE numbers may seem bewildering.

Let’s look at the two local taxing components individually and put them in simple terms.

Property taxes are paid according to what real property — buildings and land — is worth, based on formulas that determine market, or appraised, value which leads to assessed value for tax purposes.

Market value of residential, commercial and industrial property is determined mainly by comparisons with similar properties that have sold and by improvements made. Farm land is appraised under a formula, called use-value, that takes into account such things as soil type and crop outcomes and prices.

As an example for residential property, a house in Iola is appraised by comparing its size and accommodations to others that are similar and what they brought at sale.

If a house is appraised at $100,000, it then is assessed, for taxing purposes, at 11.5 percent.

Consequently the assessed value is $11,500.

A mill is one-tenth of cent, meaning, a levy of 1 mill raises $11.50 from

the assessed value of the above mentioned house, or $105.69 for 9.19 mills to support construction of new USD 257 schools.

That figures out to $8.81 a month, or 29 cents a day.

While residential property is assessed at 11.5 percent, commercial, industrial and farm buildings are assessed at 25 percent. Farm land is assessed at 30 percent of use-value.

The sale tax issue is another matter.

While the bond issue per se will be decided by all residents of USD 257, the fate of a half-cent sales tax issue will be determined by Iola residents.

When the district decided to go ahead with the school construction issue, Iola was asked to participate with a 30year sales tax. Council members agreed, but made the issue half a cent, rather than the quarter cent the district sought. The second quarter cent — each quarter will raise about $300,000 a year — would be used for infrastructure improvements throughout the city, including some that would be necessary to support construction of the new schools.

For perspective, a halfcent in sales tax would mean an additional 50 cents for a $100 purchase; it would add $5 to purchase of a $1,000 refrigerator, $100 to the purchase of a $20,000 vehicle.

The half cent would raise Iola’s overall sales tax to 8.9 percent, the same of that in Parsons and Pittsburg. Humboldt and Fort Scott are at 8.65 percent, while Chanute is 8.4 percent.

When interest, conservatively expected to be accrued annually at a rate of 2.5 percent, is added, total project cost for the 30-year life of the issue would be $87.18 million. State aid would retire $44.5 million of the total leaving a little less than $43 million to paid out over 30 years through the property and sales taxes.

The state aid is not a sure thing in future years. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Legislature removed the funding only to reinstate it at the last minute.

If the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share were paid with property taxes only, the annual assessment would be 21.66 mills. However, the 1/4-cent sales tax contribution is figured to be worth 4.47 mills a year, lowering the property tax assessment to 17.19 mills.

Wilson continues to rack up wins at Humboldt

By SCOTT STEWART

HUMBOLDT — Two weeks remain in the 2014 season at Humboldt Speedway.

Points battles are tight. The one constant? Derrek Wilson keeps on winning.

Wilson was again in victory lane Friday, after winning yet another Pure Stock feature, this one in commanding fashion, as he put nearly a full straightaway lead on runner-up Mike Churning.

Wilson’s points battle nemesis, Wayne Johnson, was third.

Jon Westhoff debuted a brand new car in fourth, Billy Shadden was fifth.

In USRA Modified action, Chase Domer took home his first Humboldt feature win of the year, holding off runner-up Jess Folk, Jr. Third went to Johnny Fennewald. Steven Bowers, Jr. and Luke Driskell rounded

out the top five.

Shawn Strong was unstoppable in USRA B-Mods, leading all 16 feature laps. Tim VanGotten was second, followed by Riley Whitworth, Etan Isaacs and Blake Kisner.

Tyler James topped the USRA Stock Car feature, an epic dual that saw Patrick Kay finish second, Jeremy Wilson third, David Matlock fourth and Bryce Weldon fifth.

Friday at “The Hummer” was unique in that each lap of each feature was sponsored by an area business or race fan, and the leader of any particular lap received $25, thanks to sponsor generosity.

As an example, Strong led all 16 laps in the B-Mod feature, thus earning an extra $400 on top of his regular payoff for the win.

‘Moms Camp’

Jaime Knavel does a spin move to avoid being hit with a blocking shield.

The moms do high leg kicks for a quick warm-up before the boot camp kicks into high gear.

Rachel Harrington gives it her all as she hits the blocking dummy, so much so, that she tumbles over the padded dummy Saturday morning at a Mom’s Camp, featuring mothers of Iola High’s football players. REGISTER/SPENCER MICHELSON

Chicago team defies the odds with LLWS run

By RUSTY MILLER AP Sports Writer

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) — The kids from Chicago’s Jackie Robinson West defied the odds with their run in the Little League World Series.

Even at the end, the youngsters that had brightened a city and caught the imagination of the baseball world didn’t quit.

ful South Korea in the final inning of the championship game on Sunday, the Great Lakes Region champion scored three runs and electrified their fans before falling short, 8-4.

Despite the loss, their story — an all-black, inner-city team named after the selfless pioneer who broke the color barrier in the big leagues — might just resonate beyond their noisy trip through the tournament.

People in their hometown held watch parties and danced in the streets when they scored. Baseball people — players and former majorleaguers, executives and administrators — all cheered for them. There might be plans in Chicago for a parade in the team’s honor. They even got a shoutout on Twitter from “Uncle Spike” Lee. “We appreciate it, all the support,” manager Darold Butler said. “How they were reacting — to 11- and 12-year olds playing baseball — like it was the ‘96 Chicago Bulls.

It was great to see.”

The team’s achievements surpassed the emotions of an underdog team going the distance on a nationally televised stage.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Ned Yost scoffed at the idea that the Kansas City Royals were worn out at the end of a long road trip.

“Everybody’s full of life,” the manager said. “We’re in a pennant race, man.”

The Royals are headed home with a two-game lead over Detroit in the AL Central, even after a 3-1 loss Sunday to the Texas Rangers.

“It stings a little bit. You win two out of three here, but you had a chance to sweep,” said Billy Butler, whose ninth homer accounted for the only Royals run. “If it was the other way around, you lose the first one and win the last

two, it’s a little bit different mentality. Our goal is to win series. We’ve done that.”

Kansas City began the series with consecutive 6-3 victories, part of 24 wins in the best 30-game stretch in team history. The Royals, who also took three of four at Minnesota before a two-game split at Colorado, play 20 of their next 26 games at home.

“Keep winning series, and we’re going to be OK,” Yost said.

Scott Baker (2-3) went five innings in a spot start to win as a starter for the first time in more than three years. He missed all of 2012 after Tommy John surgery with Minnesota, and made only three starts at the end of last season for the Chicago Cubs.

“It’s still special because

of the road that I’ve had to endure as far as injuries,” said Baker, who earned a win in relief in his previous appearance on Aug. 12. “It’s fun, regardless of whether you’re a starter or a reliever.”

Adrian Beltre put Texas ahead to stay with an RBI double in the first. Beltre had his fifth straight mulithit game, including all three games in this series to extend his hitting streak against the Royals to 17 games.

Neftali Feliz worked the ninth for his sixth save in seven chances since reassuming the closer role a month ago after Joakim Soria was traded to Detroit.

Texas had five doubles off Jason Vargas (10-6), including a run-scoring hit for See ROYALS | Page B4

Chiefs’ offense in drought

By DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs are not expected to play their starters much on Thursday night in Green Bay — if they play at all. And that means they might not step on the field having scored a touchdown when they open the regular season Sept. 7 against Tennessee.

“We need to do a better job,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said.

“Offensively, it clearly wasn’t good enough, whether it was protection or blocking or seeing holes. Throwing the ball.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A lawsuit filed by Kansas and Arizona will be argued before a federal appeals court panel this week as the states seek to force federal election officials to impose proofof-citizenship requirements on national voter registration forms.

At the crux of the closely watched case in the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver is whether the federal government or states have ultimate authority to regulate voter registration. Each side contends the U.S. Constitution supports its position.

Today’s arguments come after the U.S. Election Assistance Commission filed an appeal seeking to overturn a federal judge’s order that the commission modify a federal form to include special instructions requiring Kansas and Arizona residents to provide citizenship documentation when they register to vote.

The litigation has drawn widespread attention. More than a dozen voting-rights groups have either joined the lawsuit or friend-of-

Kansas Dems rally WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Democrat Paul Davis promised Saturday to seek bipartisan cooperation to meet the challenges Kansas faces if he is elected governor, saying party labels really shouldn’t matter.

In his campaign to unseat Republican Gov. Sam Brownback, the Democratic candidate has already drawn endorsements from more than 100 current and former elected GOP leaders, and Davis told the crowd at the Kansas Democratic Party’s annual Demofest convention in Wichita that there will be more.

“The bipartisan coalition that this campaign has built is truly unprecedented,” Davis said.

Brownback is facing an unexpectedly tough re-election race because of questions about whether his tax cuts are boosting the economy as promised or wrecking the state’s finances.

A second major bondrating agency earlier this month downgraded its credit rating for Kansas, undermining Brownback’s effort to tout an economic comeback as he kicks off a fall re-election campaign after a narrowerthan-expected GOP primary win.

Davis told Democrats that Brownback’s failed experiment has led to higher property and sales taxes, increased college tuition and a downgraded credit rating as the state faces a

budget deficit of more than $1 billion over the n e x t Rep. Paul Davis f i v e years.

“We cannot undo this mess overnight, but we can restore commonsense leadership,” Davis said.

DAVIS told The Associated Press that his party in Kansas needs not just Democratic voters but also independent and Republican supporters, and his campaign is focusing its resources on identifying those voters and getting them out the polls in November.

Breaking down traditional party lines was a recurring topic with other candidates at the convention as the Democrats reach out to independents and moderate Republicans to overcome the nearly 20-percentage point advantage in voter registration that Republicans have in Kansas.

Chad Taylor, the Democrat trying to unseat Republican U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts, said his campaign can win the Senate seat — if it can keep its Democratic base and draw 8 percent of independents and moderate Republican voters in the November general election.

the-court briefs. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and other top lawmakers urged the appeals court to throw out the lower court’s ruling, arguing it would limit the authority of Congress to regulate federal elections and derail its ability to pass legislation protecting the right to vote.

Meanwhile, Georgia and Alabama, which have similar citizenship documentation laws, have filed a friend-ofcourt brief supporting Kansas and Arizona.

Kansas and Arizona argue the proof-of-citizenship requirement protects the integrity of their elections. But opponents contend the added documentation burdens result in an overall decrease in the number of eligible citizens who will register to vote, undermining the purpose of the 1993 National Voter Registration Act. Arizona enacted its proof-of-citizenship documentation requirement by voter initiative in 2004, and Alabama, Georgia and Kansas followed with similar laws.

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach has championed his state’s law as a way to prevent noncitizens from voting, particularly those living in the U.S. illegally. Critics say incidents of noncitizens registering to vote are extremely rare, and that such Republican-backed laws hurt voter registration efforts and disenfranchise voters from certain groups that tend to vote Democrat, including minorities, college students and older people.

Kobach, a Republican, argues that states have the sovereign right to maintain their voter rolls and that the federal voter registration form should be tailored to the requirements of each state. The states contend the availability of a federal form — which requires only that people attest under penalty of perjury that they are citizens — creates a “massive loophole” in enforcing their voter proof-of-citizenship laws.

In June 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that states — in that particular case, Arizona — could not refuse to accept the national voter registration form.

But U.S. District Judge Eric Melgren in Kansas in March sided with the states, saying the U.S. Constitution gives states the power to set voter qualifications and Congress has not pre-empted it, even in enacting the voter registration act.

Federal election officials appealed, and the 10th Circuit blocked the order until it could hear an expedited appeal before the November elections.

Commit fully before moving in together Hi, Carolyn: I am a 32-year-old woman who has been dating a wonderful man for a little over a year. We are now making lifelong plans together, starting with the process of looking for a new home to move into together.

My boyfriend has joint custody of his 5-yearold son, who until now, for logistical reasons, has lived solely with his mom.

We are looking at homes with the idea that his son would start living with us half-time.

His son and I have a very good and ever-growing relationship; the three of us have been car camping together multiple times and I see him at least once a week (usually more). He’s a sweetheart, and I welcome the idea of having him living with us, getting to know him better, and helping my boyfriend raise him.

What are the sorts of things I should be prepared for, and my

Tell Me About It Carolyn Hax

boyfriend and I should discuss, before we move in together with his son? Any big issues that couples need to address when moving in together when one partner has a child?

Neither of us has lived with a partner before and neither of us has lived with kids before. I want to make sure we’re preparing as best we can for this major life change all three of us will be making! — Stepmom-to-Be Answer: You can make sure you’re permanent.

Before the house, before the half-time custody, before the book on stepfamily dynamics, there is your relationship with the father of this little boy. Calling him your “boyfriend” says you’re either still just dating,

or are in the gray area between “dating” and “lifelong,” and that says forming this stepfamily is premature. Period.

That doesn’t mean your life with man and child is anything but promising. In fact, everything that needs to be there seems to be: A man is changing his life to make room for his child (belatedly, but, OK); the joint custody and regular visitation suggest he and the mom are cooperating; you’re getting to know the boy gradually, and you like and care about both father and son; you are eager to provide a home and willing to work to get it right.

Good, good, good, and good for you.

But setting up this a n d - s o n - m a ke s - t h re e household before you and your boyfriend have made a life commitment is just fundamentally not in the best interests of the child. You may have no intention of becoming the first in a series of Dad’s Live-In

Girlfriends, and he may not remotely intend you to become that, but your best insurance against that outcome is patience.

Don’t gather under one roof and then commit.

Commitment, then roof.

Please.

It’s more money upfront, yes, but see it as a fraction of what it costs to undo mistakes.

In the meantime, prepare yourselves by enrolling in a reputable parenting program together, both to prompt important conversations and to establish a go-to resource for when you’re caught unprepared by a new challenge, phase, diagnosis, or anything else from the what-did-weget-ourselves-into menu (which is hardly just for stepfamilies). The boy’s pediatrician is a good place to ask for a referral, since the office staff will be familiar with local offerings.

You already sound caring and conscientious; please just add “careful” to the list.

Reasons behind Meniere’s disease still unclear Dear Dr. Roach: My husband has Meniere’s disease. We cannot find anyone who can help him. Is there any medication for this? — L.M. Answer: Meniere’s disease causes episodes of vertigo, tinnitus and eventually hearing loss.

It is caused by swelling in the organ of balance in the inner ear, but the reason for the swelling isn’t clear.

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health Before being seen by a doctor, your husband can try to identify triggers for the attacks. Common triggers include a highsalt diet, tobacco, alco-

hol and stress. A low-salt diet can dramatically reduce episodes.

ENT doctors are usually expert in treating Meniere’s disease. A diuretic such as hydrochlorothiazide often is used if diet alone doesn’t help.

The booklet on vertigo explains this disruptive condition in detail and outlines its treatment.

Athlete against head injury deal

By MICHAEL TARM Associated Press

CHICAGO (AP) — A former San Diego State football player has asked a federal judge to reject the recently proposed $75 million settlement of a class-action lawsuit against the NCAA, saying it unfairly forces athletes who suffered head injuries to forfeit hundreds of millions of dollars in potential damages.

The request, which came in a late Friday filing in federal court in Chicago on behalf of Anthony Nichols, is the first in what’s likely to be a monthslong approval process to raise questions about the deal, under which the NCAA would create a $70 million fund to test thou-

sands of current and former athletes for brain trauma. It also sets aside $5 million for research.

The filing zeroes in on a settlement provision that would require football, hockey, soccer and other contact-sport athletes to give up their rights to seek a single, potentially blockbuster sum in damages as a class. They can sue as individuals, but the filing says most couldn’t afford the legal costs and so won’t.

“The proposed settlement is truly a rarity: a settlement where the class members get nothing but are forced to give up everything,” according to the 28-page court document, submitted by one of Nichols’ attorneys, Jay Edelson. “Injured student athletes

will be ... left in the dust.”

Nichols, who says he suffered concussions while an offensive lineman for San Diego State from 1989 to 1992, is among tens of thousands of male and female athletes who would be covered by the sweeping class-action deal.

The first class-action suit was filed in 2011 in Chicago on behalf of former Eastern Illinois safety Adrian Arrington, and 10 similar head-injury suits were later consolidated into the one that was heard in federal court in Chicago.

Arrington’s lawyers took the lead in nearly a year of negotiations with the NCAA before the proposed settlement was announced July 29.

Under the settlement, the NCAA would also

toughen return-to-play rules for athletes who receive head blows. Among other terms, all athletes would be given baseline neurological tests to start each year to help doctors determine the severity of any concussion during the season.

Friday’s filing describes the benefits to athletes as paltry compared to what the NCAA gains: legal protection from having to pay out what the filing argues could have been a billion dollars or more in damages.

“What makes the ... settlement so unique — and so dangerous — is that nearly 90 percent of the class will get absolutely nothing from the settlement and yet will give up valuable rights,” the filing says.

Royals: KC still holds two game lead Continued from B1

Vargas (10-6) allowed 11 hits and walked four in his six innings, but gave up only three runs. The left-hander had walked only one in 25 1-3 innings previously this month.

“It was a start that he really had to grind out. He didn’t have any clean innings,” Yost said. “I thought he did a phenomenal job of keeping us in the game,

getting us through six innings. Very, very tight strike zone, which doesn’t play to his advantage.”

Baker induced five popups for outs in his first three innings, and one of the hits he gave up was a bloop single.

“We mishit some balls,” Butler said. “That’s what he thrives on, basically came right at us with fastball, slider. In-

duced a lot of popups.”

Kansas City starts a 10-game homestand on what originally was a scheduled day off Monday. James Shields (126) pitches for the Royals against the New York Yankees in the makeup of a game postponed June 9 because of rain.

They then have threegame series against Minnesota, Cleveland and Texas.

Chiefs: Offensive woes plague team Continued from B1

bility as the play caller to get guys in rhythm.”

Get guys in the end zone, too.

It hardly helps that the Chiefs have been ransacked by injuries and suspensions, especially on offense, and were without several key contributors against the Vikings.

Right tackle Donald Stephenson was benched after the NFL handed down a four-game suspension for violating its performance-enhancing substance policy. Jeff Allen slid over from left guard to fill his spot, and Ricky Henry and Jeff Linkenbach alternated filling in at guard.

None of them fared too well as the Vikings piled up five sacks.

“There are no excuses in this league. Period,” Linkenbach said afterward in a quiet Chiefs locker room. “We need to do better as a unit, not just any one player.”

Running back Jamaal Charles sat out the second straight preseason game as he recovers from a foot injury. He’s expected to be available for the regular season, though.

The same can’t be said of wide receivers Dwayne Bowe and Junior Hemingway, who

both were out of uniform against Minnesota.

Bowe has been dealing with a groin injury and Hemingway has been out with a hip injury, and it’s unclear exactly when they’ll be able to get on the field.

Besides, Bowe is also suspended for the season opener after his arrest last November.

“We have to be realistic. Dwayne’s not going to be there for the first game,” Smith said. “but it’s just not the guy that’s going to be playing his position. We all need to step up.”

That includes Smith, who was intercepted by the Vikings’ Captain Munnerlyn on a late throw into the end zone, and again by Chad Greenway on a poor throw near the goal line.

“We all would have loved to end it here on a better note,” Smith said, “but I’m still very comfortable with where we’re at. We got a ton of great work in here. Just need to finish.”

Smith finished just 14 of 24 for 140 yards against Minnesota. Backup quarterback Tyler Bray threw a late touchdown pass to Albert Wilson for the Chiefs’ only touchdown.

The running game fared little better without Charles. Knile Davis

got the start and carried 12 times for 27 yards, an average of just over 2 yards per carry. Cyrus Gray had a couple of long runs as he fights for a roster spot, but they came against the Vikings’ backup defense.

In all, the Chiefs managed barely over 300 yards of total offense against a defense that was among the worst in the NFL in every notable

statistical category last season.

“We have to get it going. We have to get it rolling,” Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce said. “We have yet to have two consistent drives or a consistent offensive flow going through the game. Time is ticking, but I’ve got faith in the guys around here and the leadership around here to get this thing rolling.”

LLWS: Chicago team Continued from B1 also throw a shutout, but in the end it was the kids from Chicago who closed the show.

The team is drawn from several communities on the South and Southwest sides of the Windy City. It’s fair to say that the actual Jackie Robinson — who made a path for others when he endured insults and slights but persevered after coming up to the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947 — would have enjoyed this.

Jackie Robinson West also earned the respect of their South Korean counterparts.

“We thought the Chicago team would go to the final,” said Jong Wook Park, coach of the Seoul team. “We thought the Jackie Robinson team was very strong. Lucky for us, their three good pitchers were already pitching from the last game.”

The league which makes up the Chicago team is a member of the Little League Urban Initiative, formed in 1999 to support local Little League programs in urban neighborhoods. There are almost 200 Urban Initiative leagues in 100 cities across the country.

This is the 15th time a team from Illinois has advanced to the LLWS and it marks the second appearance for Jackie Robinson West, which went 2-1 in the 1983 tournament.

The team is the second Urban Initiative team to make it to the LLWS, following Harlem in 2002.

When many current major leaguers learned that parents of the players were having difficulty coming up with the money to travel to Central Pennsylvania for the showcase games of Little League, they chipped in.

Colorado Rockies reliever LaTroy Hawkins, brothers Justin and B.J. Upton of the Atlanta Braves, Detroit Tigers outfielder

Torii Hunter and Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Carl Crawford all dug deep to include the families.

“To go on the run they’ve gone on does a lot, especially for African Americans in baseball,” said Hawkins, who skipped Rockies batting practice on Saturday to watch Jackie Robinson West beat Las Vegas Mountain Ridge 7-5 in the U.S. championship game.

“Other kids around the country, around the world, see those kids playing and say, ‘I want to play some baseball, too.’

“It’s a lot larger than just them going to play the championship game. They don’t even know, because they’re just playing baseball, which is cool.”

The number of African-Americans playing in the major leagues has dwindled steadily since the mid-1980s.

Blacks made up about 19 percent of rosters three decades ago; On opening day this year, only 8.1 percent of the players were black.

David James, senior director of MLB’s RBI program which has goals similar to those of the Urban Initiative, said Chicago’s LLWS appearance was good for the game.

After Chicago won the U.S. title game, Major League Baseball’s Twitter account posted a picture of the team with the caption, “We’re proud of these guys.”

The White Sox even mentioned the hometown kids in a tweet just before the start of Sunday’s game.

“The #WhiteSox will be rooting hard for #JRW today! Good luck boys! #LLWS #LetsGoJRW,” it said.

After the loss to South Korea, Butler told his players to be proud and to hold their heads high.

“We were the best team in the United States,” he said.

“We’re one of the best teams out here.”

No one disputes that anymore.
