Enthusiasm builds for tech ed center 257 BOE discusses credit processes

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

LAHARPE — Chance are, a high school graduate can never miss a day of school, but still “can’t fix a lawn mower,” contends Ray Maloney.

Learning a trade, whether basic small engine repair, carpentry, welding, plumbing, etc., greatly enhances a student’s earning potential, Maloney said Monday during an open house of a proposed new regional technical education center at the former Diebolt Lumber facility east of LaHarpe.

Maloney acquired the old lumberyard and adjoining buildings, and has offered use of those facilities to get the tech ed center off the ground..

A crowd of 55 toured the 20,000-square-foot building targeted to host most of the programs.

With its spacious interior, heated flooring and sufficient electric capacity, the building still needs upgrades, such as installing more than 25,000 square feet of Sheetrock throughout much of the

building to meet fire codes.

The doors also need to be changed out to meet fire and security standards set by the state, Maloney said.

The price tag for all of the improvements could cost as much as $100,000, which presents the biggest hurdle to getting the tech center open.

Judge Thomas Saxton, district magistrate judge and Iola Municipal Court judge for the past 27 years, is retiring.

Saxton’s retirement was Judge Thomas a n n o u n c e d Saxton April 19, and accepted Monday by Iola City Council members.

“Hopefully, I have served the citizens of Kansas well,” Saxton wrote in his retirement letter.

Meanwhile, Council members removed the interim tag from Gregg Hutton’s title as code enforcement officer.

Hutton replaces the outgoing Shonda Jefferis.

Council members appointed Alana Kinzle to the city’s tree board and reappointed Jessica Maness to the library board. Kinzle was appointed to the library board as well.

The proposed LaHarpebased career and technical education center excited the most interested conversation at Iola USD 257’s school board meeting MondaY. A handful of district personnel, including Superintendent of Schools Jack Koehn and board president Tony Leavitt, arrived at the district office fresh from an open house at the regional tech center’s selected facility. Though cautious in their discussion of the still-emerging details, both appeared to be riding high on early murmerings of public opinion.

State delays highway projects TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Congested or treacherous roads could become more so under the Kansas Department of Transportation’s recent announcement that 25 large, already-scheduled highway projects will be delayed for over the next two years.

The delay is part of Gov. Sam Brownback’s plan to divert $185 million in sales tax money that’s earmarked for highway projects to other government programs to help address projected budget shortfalls in the 2016 and 2017 fiscal years.

The delayed projects,

which were scheduled through mid-2019, include work that would have widened shoulders, flattened hills, straightened curves and added passing lanes and greater capacity to the state’s highway system. The modernization and expansion projects, which are part

Co-sleeping kills infant WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Police say a 5-month-old baby has died while taking a nap in bed with his mother.

Police say it was the seventh time this year that a child has died while sleeping in the same bed as someone else. The practice is called co-sleeping.

Kansas Infant Death and SIDS Network director Christy Schunn says babies are safest sleeping alone, on their backs in a clutter-free crib. Some parents view co-sleeping as a way to bond with their children. But experts say adult beds can be dangerous for babies because blan-

Kansas on ‘credit watch’ It’s a party!

Allen County Democrats gather tonight in Iola Former state Rep. Paul Davis, D-Lawrence, and 2014 candidate for Kansas governor, will help celebrate the one-year anniversary of the reborn Allen County Democrats organization at 6:30 tonight at the Bass Community Hall, 505 N.

Buckeye.

Along with Davis will be Kerry Gooch, executive director of the Kansas Democratic Party, and candidates vying for this year’s legislative races on the Democratic ticket.

The event is open to the public.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A national credit rating service says there’s at least a 50-50 chance it could lower Kansas’ AA credit rating later this year, depending on how the Legislature handles the state’s current budget crisis.

Standard and Poor’s Rating Services said Monday it had placed Kansas on a “credit watch” because of the state’s budget shortfall and concerns about Gov.

Sam Brownback’s proposal for filling the gap.

New revenue estimates for the state recently projected a $290 million budget shortfall through June 2017.

The governor has presented three options for the Legislature to consider in balancing the budget.

The rating service says it will resolve the credit watch in 90 days, based on the Legislature’s actions.

Thousands of KS voter registrations on hold

By ROXANA HEGEMAN Associated Press

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Voting rolls in Kansas are in “chaos” because of the state’s proof-ofcitizenship requirements, the American Civil Liberties Union has argued in a court document, noting that about two-thirds of new voter registration applications submitted during a three-week period in February are on hold.

Kansas is fending off multiple legal challenges from voting rights activists, and just months before the state’s August primary, the status of the “dual registration” system remains unclear.

Federal judges in separate voter-registration lawsuits unfolding in Kansas and Washington, D.C., could rule at any time. There’s also greater urgency because registrations typically surge during an election year.

Kansas is one of four states, along with Georgia, Alabama and Arizona, to require documentary proof of citizenship — such as a birth certificate, passport or naturalization papers — to register to vote. Under Kansas’ challenged system, voters who registered using a federal form, which hadn’t required proof of U.S. citizenship, could only vote in federal races and not in state or local races.

Kansas says it will keep the dual voting system in place for upcoming elections if the courts

allow its residents to register to vote either with a federal form or at motor vehicle offices without providing proof of citizenship.

The following things were revealed in various court filings last week: • Of the more than 22,000 submitted voter registration applications submitted between Feb. 1 and Feb. 21, only 7,444 were completed with proof of citizenship, State Elections Director Bryan Caskey said. That meant the majority of those registrants were put on the suspense list, and their voting registrations will be purged after 90 days unless proper documents are submitted.

• Younger citizens were affected the most.

Although those between the ages of 18 and 29 comprise only 14.9 percent of registered Kansas voters, that age group makes up more than 58 percent of applicants who registered at motor vehicle offices and are on the suspense list.

• Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach contends that since the provisions went into effect Jan. 1, 2013, a total of 244,699 people completed their registrations, accounting for about 94 percent of all applicants.

Since the beginning of the year, the state’s voter registration system has been at the forefront of legal challenges.

nee County District Court judge ruled Kobach has no authority to bar voters who use a federal form to register from casting ballots in local and state elections.

The judge also said the right to vote is not tied to the method of registration.

Two weeks later, the new executive director of the U.S. Elections Assistance Commission unilaterally — and without approval of the commission — required citizenship documentation on the federal registration form for voters in Kansas, Georgia and Alabama. Kobach has argued the dual voting system is no longer needed and asked a state court to reconsider its earlier ruling as moot.

The judge has yet to rule on that request.

The League of Women Voters, joined by other voting rights groups, filed a lawsuit Feb. 12 against EAC head Brian

Newby and the EAC, contending his action will hurt voter registration drives and deprive eligible voters of the right to vote in the presidential primary elections. A ruling is pending in federal court in Washington over a requested temporary order to block the changes for the three states.

The ACLU filed a federal lawsuit Feb. 18 seeking class-action status in Kansas City, Kan., arguing that Kansas residents trying to register to vote at motor vehicle offices are being forced to provide documentary proof of citizenship in violation of federal law.

The ACLU is seeking a temporary court order that would allow people to register at motor vehicle offices without providing the citizenship paperwork, and a decision is expected soon.

One thing seems almost certain: All rulings will likely be appealed.

Ritzy cars on auction block KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A fleet of two dozen expensive cars and motorcycles seized from a Kansas City-area accountant who defrauded more than $4 million from clients is heading for the auction block.

The U.S. Marshals Service says the 25 machines up for bidding at noon Thursday include Thomas Hauk’s former Ford Mustang Cobra Jet, Ferrari 430 Scuderia, Ford GT, Mosler MT900S and McLaren

12C. A dozen Ducati motorcycles also will be sold during the auction at KCI Auto Auction in Kansas City, Missouri.

That’s where potential buyers can preview the items from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday.

Hauk, of Overland Park, Kansas, awaits sentencing after pleading guilty last December to federal fraud charges linked to his on-the-job theft at a financial services company.

Rock: City will recycle from stockpile for chip-seal work

B3 A3

Continued from A1

for its chip-seal.

As in years past, only one company bid to supply the rock to Iola, Buildex, Inc., Ottawa.

In years past, Buildex crews would bring in rock from a quarry near McPherson.

However, the EPA has cited emissions standards in producing the chipped rock, forcing Buildex to close the plant, Leslie said.

That means the company uses only a single quarry for all of its customers.

If Iola gets any rock this year, it will likely be late summer or early fall, well after the city had scheduled its crews to do the chip-seal work.

That’s where the recycled rock comes in.

Leslie pointed out crews have swept up and stored the excess rock from previous chip-seal efforts, “and our pile’s getting to be a good size.”

Leslie proposed renting a machine, at a cost of about $5,000 for a week, to clean the old rock chips, to see if they

can be reused.

“If it works, we save quite a bit of money,” Leslie said. “If it doesn’t, we’re out $5,000.”

Leslie acknowledged the high demand statewide for the rock chips likely will require Iola to place its orders a year early.

Council members agreed, voting 8-0 to authorize the chip cleaning machine rental.

The Council also agreed to pay Vance Brothers, Kansas City, Mo., $1.57 per gallon of oil for the “seal” portion of the chip-seal effort.

The price is 42 cents per gallon lower than Iola spent in 2015, Leslie said. Vance’s bid was the lower of two. Leslie estimated needing roughly $60,000 gallons of oil for the chip-seal.

COUNCIL members said more research will be necessary before they decide on changing ordinances affecting gas and electric meter locations.

Councilman Bob Shaughnessy asked previously if new construc-

tion projects could be done with meters placed closer to the respective buildings.

Iola’s codes mandate meters be placed at the curbside.

City administrator Carl Slaugh said more than aesthetics need to be considered if the ordinance would be changed. Ease of access to the meters, utility easement designations, liability to the city and landowner and other maintenance costs should be considered.

No action was taken.

IOLA will pay roughly $144,000 to line nearly 5,000 feet of sewer mains this year.

The $144,505 bid from Insituform Technologies USA, out of Chesterfield, Mo., was the lower of two received.

The curing process involves placing a waterproof lining inside the existing sewer line to extend its life span by decades.

Iola has held $100,000 in reserve, with another $100,000 budgeted for

this year.

In related matters, the Council voted 8-0 to pay $34,953 to Medora Corporation of Dickenson, N.D., for routine maintenance of the Solarbee mixing and aerating machines in Iola’s sewage lagoons.

The council also formally accepted an EPA wastewater lagoon capacity and loading analysis, which essentially states the city’s lagoon system is sufficient to meet Iola’s needs well into the future.

Council members conceded that adding a large industry, or city growth, may require future testing of the sewage lagoons, “because our lagoons are fairly topped out in terms of capacity,” Slaugh said.

As many as eight area school districts have expressed an interest in being part of the program once it’s up and running, McWhirter said.

Embedded credit tests will gauge whether those same students have developed enough basic education skills to earn a high school diploma.

“It’s a vitally important part,” Iola USD 257 Superintendent of Schools Jack Koehn said. “And we need to get it figured out quickly.”

OTHERS in the audience voiced their support for the tech ed center.

Mary Kay Heard, a trustee at ACC, noted such courses teach students self-sufficiency.

257: Board meets Continued from A1

“Since I’ve been on the board,” reflected Leavitt, “I’ve not seen anything that comes close to this as far as community interest and positive comments are concerned.

“There were a number of community members [at the open house], as well as a number of business leaders from other communities.”

In fact, joked Koehn, noting the presence of local representatives Kent Thompson and Adam Lusker and Sen. Caryn Tyson — “we were only two legislators short of a quorum.”

THE BOARD devoted extended discussion to the subject of the “embedded credits” program, a policy which would, if approved, allow future students at the tech ed center to receive, in addition to skilled technical certification, course credits in math and English.

“The embedded credit idea,” stressed Koehn, “is very critical to the whole career and tech ed center,” because without it, it will be difficult to free up enough students to attend the center.

The difference between implementing the embedded credit policy and not, explained Koehn, is the difference between three or four students attending the center versus “easily 15 or 20.” And that’s just Iola. Other districts, explained the superintendent, are in a similar boat.

As sketched — the board will bring the final policy to a vote next meeting — the embedded credit policy requires that the tech ed student meet the following requirements: 1) he or she must maintain a sufficiently high average in their chosen program; 2) must complete the embedded, “technical math” or “technical English” curriculum for that program; and 3) the student must pass the “WorkKeys Applied Mathematics” or “WorkKeys Reading” examination at a level deemed acceptable by an estab-

lished standard.

ANOTHER in a series of meetings between area schools and the surrounding community colleges — the potential collaborating partners behind this entire venture — is set for Wednesday morning.

As the good news for fans of the tech center continues to spill in — e.g., Fort Scott Community College has already committed to a building trades class at the facility and Thrive Allen County has recently pledged to the center its support and grantwise ways — Koehn’s attention is increasingly turned toward the practical details required to give heft to a project which has been for years only a long-simmering fancy.

According to the superintendent, Wednesday’s meeting is a time to: first, come up with a name; second, decide on an organizational structure “to deal with making decisions, dealing with gifts and grants, approving expenditures, things like that”; and, finally, to iron out — to the extent that it’s possible — school calendar disparities between the area high schools and the participating colleges. “Students need to be aware,” reminded Koehn, “that if our start date is here and Fort Scott’s is there, they’re going to have to go to class [on the college’s schedule].” The program will likely be a tremendous boon to the students of Iola, as well as the surrounding districts, but ultimately, emphasized Koehn, “this is Fort Scott’s course.”

Make food preservation a priority Every day is Seasonal fruits and vegetables typically cost less, so it’s easy to understand why cost-conscious consumers are embracing home food preservation. Doing so can extend health benefits from fresh foods for future meals and trim grocery bills when outof-season prices rise, said Karen Blakeslee, KState Research and Extension food scientist.

Blakeslee supports the growing interest in home food preservation but stresses the importance for both new and more experienced home food preservationists to choose tested recipes and follow directions exactly. New and improved

equipment and recommended techniques can simplify the process.

As part of the “Grow It — Prepare It� series, I will offer a Food Preservation 101 class on May 10; a Jams & Jellies class on May 12; a Pressure Canning class on June 7; and a Salsa class on June 9.

The Food Preservation 101 class must be completed prior to at-

tending any of the other preservation classes because it will cover all the basics in preparation for the hands-on classes.

The classes require pre-registration and payment of the $10 registration fee per hands-on class (no fee for the Preservation 101 class). The fee covers all class supplies. Class sizes will be limited to the first 20 PAID registrations, so get it in quickly.

All classes will be held at the Central Park Pavilion building in Chanute.

Proper technique for water bath processing and pressure canning will be taught. Participants will get hands-

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Promises from governor ring hollow for a reason Kansans want to believe that their governor is a man of his word. The latest budget-balancing proposals from Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration show Statehouse assurances to be wobbly at best. ...

Sweeping another $185 million from the highway fund is crucial to all three options presented Wednesday by state budget director Shawn Sullivan to help close the newly projected $300 million budget gap through June 2017. …

When Kansas Action for Children warned last month that the administration wanted to sell off the future tobacco settlement proceeds, which are earmarked by law for the Kansas Endowment for Youth and the Children’s Initiative Fund, Sullivan mocked the idea in a tweet about “black helicopters” dropping off a “secret deal.”

But, sure enough, Sullivan touted the securitization plan Wednesday as part of the governor’s preferred option, because it would avoid 3 to 5 percent cuts to state agencies and K-12 schools. Sullivan claimed the new maneuver would do no harm to kids or children’s programs, as $42 million in tobacco funds would continue to flow their way.

But Shannon Cotsoradis, the executive director of KAC, told The Eagle editori-

al board that the legislation necessary to allow the selloff would remove all statutory protections for the KEY and CIF. … .So Kansas’ commitment to fund early childhood would only be as good as the Brownback administration’s promises.

Two other ugly options conflict with legislative intent and earlier administration talking points (and may be designed mostly to make the tobacco scheme look preferable). One would postpone the $93 million April payment to the state pension fund not until September, as per recent legislative action, but for 12 months. Another would slash K-12 public education by $57 million, though districts were told their block-grant funding from the state would be flat but stable through the next school year. … Brownback has given Kansans other reasons to be skeptical of his administration’s numbers, claims and promises, especially since he won re-election by declaring that “the sun is shining in Kansas, and don’t let anybody tell you any different.” … Can anything state leaders say be taken to the bank? Or is everything subject to change in order to protect the 2012 income tax cuts that have hollowed out the state’s tax base?

— The Wichita Eagle

Koch comments add to weird campaign Just when people thought this presidential election year couldn’t get any more bizarre, the political floor shifted and dropped again to a lower level of unbelievable.

The news came from conservative Charles Koch in an ABC News interview Sunday.

He said on ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” that Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton would be a better president than Republican White House contenders Donald Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich. Keep in mind that Koch last year, with his brother David and others, announced plans to dump $900 million to influence the outcome of the presidential and congressional elections in favor of conservative candidates.

A call for constructive competition New York’s primary put an exclamation point on the front-runner status of both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. In any election cycle in recent history, their strong showings in different parts of the country and across demographic groups would have made them the presumptive nominees by now.

But this isn’t just any election cycle. It is one where the front-runners are substantially weakened — Clinton by a relentless challenge from rival Bernie Sanders that has siphoned off much of the energy she had expected to tap as the first woman with a clear shot at the presidency.

Trump, meanwhile, has become his party’s bete noire, with a cadre of those loyal to his unique brand but intensely disliked by a significant portion of the electorate. These choices are the result of a curious hybrid of primaries, caucuses and Byzantine delegate selection that is on the verge of producing two of the most problematic candidates this nation has seen in some time.

So, what now? Establishment Democrats would like nothing better than for Sanders to bow out, his path to a

first-ballot nomination now all but mathematically impossible. But there is no denying that Sanders’ message on wealth inequality, the downsides of free trade, the need for labor protections, universal health care and affordable higher education has resonated deeply with many Americans — even if this page finds most of his proposals either impractical or unaffordable. He has proved to his party that even a senator from a small state can raise ample funds without kowtowing to PACs, corporations and megadonors.

At 74, this career politician who has served in Congress since 1991 has become a hero to young voters, engaging their passions and loyalty in a way others will be studying for years.

For those reasons, Sanders should think carefully about the path forward. He may decide there is value in remaining in the race, despite lengthening odds. As recently as their last debate, he succeeded in pushing Clinton into embracing a $15 minimum wage. There may be other similar triumphs in coming weeks. But if he is to end on a grace note, Sanders

should stick to issues and refrain from bruising personal attacks on the judgment and character of the candidate who is likely to be the party’s standard-bearer. Fomenting division at this summer’s convention would be ugly and could jeopardize the unity the nominee will need greatly come November.

Republicans face an entirely different dilemma.

Their leading candidate breaks regularly with party doctrine — Trump recently denounced North Carolina’s “bathroom bill” and said that on abortion he favors exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother. The more conservative Sen. Ted Cruz still lags well behind Trump, and in New York finished third to Gov. John Kasich of Ohio. At this point, Cruz and Kasich should stay in the race. Both can continue to test Trump in needed ways, if he is to be his party’s nominee, and one of them may break through. For either man to withdraw now would almost certainly hand the nomination to Trump — unthinkable for many mainstream Republicans.

— Minneapolis Star Tribune

Lewis Diuguid The Kansas City Star (TNS) To turn away from the Republican field toward Clinton is a radical shift for Charles Koch, a billionaire from Wichita, Kansas. Yet he said Bill Clinton was better than George W. Bush as president in controlling government growth.

On Tuesday voters will go to the polls for primaries in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. The outcome is expected to add to the White House hopes of Clinton over democratic socialist Bernie Sanders and Trump over Cruz and Kasich.

Koch said he hasn’t, and probably won’t, support any GOP candidate in the remaining weeks of the primary campaign because of their divisive rhetoric. He told ABC: “We said, ‘Here are the issues: You’ve got to be like Ronald Reagan and compete on making the country better rather than tearing down your opponents.’”

Koch lambasted Trump’s proposal to ban Muslims from entering the United States as “antithetical to our approach, but what was worse was this ‘We’ll have them register (notion).’ That’s reminiscent of Nazi Germany. I mean that’s monstrous, as I said at the time.”

Trump had said, and then

backed away from a proposed database to track Muslims in the U.S. Koch also criticized Cruz’s notion of “carpet-bombing” the Islamic State militant fighters.

It makes sense that Koch is retreating from the outrageous, outlandish, overbearing behavior of Trump. The New York billionaire continues to defy political gravity with his candidacy flying high despite negative things he has said and done concerning women, minorities, immigrants, people with disabilities and people of different faiths.

And if the Koch reaction to the GOP presidential field isn’t weird enough, now Cruz and Kasich plan to collaborate against Trump.

Kansas City political operative Jeff Roe, who is Cruz’s campaign manager, said in a statement: “To ensure that we nominate a Republican who can unify the Republican Party and win in November, our campaign will focus its time and resources in Indiana and in turn clear the path for Gov. Kasich to compete in Oregon and New Mexico, and we would hope that allies of both campaigns would follow our lead.”

Kasich’s campaign on Sunday said: “Keeping Trump from winning a plurality in Indiana is critical to keeping him under 1,237 bound delegates before Cleveland.”

Again, unbelievable.

Chernobyl: Dangers will last millennia Continued from A1

Soviet Union.

Even 30 years later — 25 years after the country that built it ceased to exist — the full damage of that day is still argued.

Death toll estimates run from hundreds to millions. The area near the reactor is both a teeming wildlife refuge, and an irradiated ghostscape. Much of eastern and central Europe continues to deal with fallout aftermath. The infamous Reactor Number 4 remains a problem that is neither solved nor solvable.

But to the boys on the night before their world changed, nothing seemed more important than shiny blue and yellow cars, with actual steering wheels, almost ready for a 10-year-old to drive.

The bumper cars were to be turned on May 1, 1986, a seemingly impossible-to-live-through week away. So as May Day slowly neared, Alexandr Sirota and his friends couldn’t resist sneaking down into the new park after dark, beneath the deep shadows of the yet unblinking new Ferris wheel, and under the inky dark of what would soon be the electrified roof over the bumper cars.

“We’d sit in the cars and make car noises,” recalls Sirota, who’s now 40. “It was everything we could imagine wanting in life at that time.

As young boys, our lives seemed perfect.”

These were the thoughts that consumed Sirota as he went to bed on April 25, 1986, and after he woke on April 26 and rushed off to School No. 1.

But as he slept, sometime after 1 a.m., the engineers who’d spent the previous 24 hours putting Reactor Number 4 through a stress test were getting nervous.

EVEN 30 YEARS lat-

er, nuclear physicists familiar with the disaster disagree on what went wrong. The only area of agreement appears to be that somehow when the engineers attempted to slow the nuclear reaction by inserting control rods into the reactor core, the process actually sped up.

In a matter of seconds, the temperature inside the reactor increased by 3,000 degrees. The water used to cool the uranium suddenly evaporated, and in the sealed environment of the reactor the steam had no place

Chernobyl’s irradiated geography When an explosion destroyed Reactor No. 4 at the Soviet-run Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in northern Ukraine on April 26, 1986, an estimated 10 tons of radioactive fuel and debris were thrown into the atmosphere. The most toxic ground is the Exclusion Zone, and the evacuated ghost town of Pripyat.

Swings and a ferris wheel remain in an abandoned amusement park of Pripyat, Ukraine. The park was scheduled to open on May 1, 1986, for the Soviet May Day celebrations, but never did because the Chernobyl disaster happened a week before the opening. MCCLATCHY DC/CLAUDIA HIMMELREICH/TNS to expand. That’s when the roof blew, and an estimated 10 tons of the reactor’s 200 tons of enriched uranium blasted into the sky.

Georgi Kopchinsky, who on April 26, 1986, was a director of the Soviet central committee on nuclear energy, still wrings his hands and smokes nervously as he talks about Chernobyl.

He admits it’s a very tough topic for him, in part because, he says, scientists should have known it could happen.

Three years before Chernobyl, he says, Soviet authorities had warned that a similar problem had been detected at other plants with the same kind of controlling devices. But no modifications were made.

“This was our arrogance at the time,” Kopchinsky says. “We believed we were the masters of the atomic reactions. It was a horrible mistake.”

After the roof blew, the walls collapsed and the superheated uranium melted and consumed all that fell into it. All that remained to protect the world from a 2,000-ton radioactive mass that was forming was the reinforced concrete foundation and four relatively thin walls. Above was only the open sky.

The 10 tons of radioactive debris streaming into the air spread out in all directions over northern, eastern and central Europe. Eventually, a scientific report commissioned by the European Parliament would estimate that, to some extent, Chernobyl radiation contaminated 40 percent of Europe.

IT IS DIFFICULT to imagine how long Ukrainian authorities must remain on guard. Estimates suggest the Chernobyl area won’t be safe

again until the year 4986.

To put that in perspective, that’s a span of time that if placed against modern human history would stretch from when King David ruled Israel and before the founding of Rome to now.

Tetiana Verbytska, an energy policy expert at the National Ecological Center of Ukraine, thinks few people really understand how challenging the legacy of Chernobyl is. There’s a movement, she notes, aghast, even to shrink the radius of the no man’s land that surrounds the plant from 18 miles to six. She warns there’s no solution.

“We don’t have the technology to fix the problem,” she said. “We don’t have the process to develop the technology to fix the problem, and we don’t have the money to support the process to develop the technology to fix the problem. The solutions for our Chernobyl problems are very much ‘seal it for now.’ We will have smart children and smart grandchildren who in 100 years or so will figure out what to do.”

EMERGING HERD Young group of Mustangs continues to grow together

By JON DYKSTRA The Iola Register

The Iola golf team entered this season’s Buck Quincy Invitational with a completely different mindset from previous years.

And that is not necessarily a bad thing.

The past couple of years, the Mustangs have rolled into their only home tournament of the season with

a focus on winning league and going to the state tournament.

This group is focused on continually improving each and every time they step on the links.

“I couldn’t ask for better teammates,” Iola golfer Gage Tomlinson said. “They are probably the most fun, if not the funniest players I’ve ever played with. We are improving See GOLF | Page B6

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — If the Golden State Warriors want to cap a record-setting season with a second straight NBA title, they will need to survive the next two weeks without their best player.

Stephen Curry is expected to miss at least two weeks with a Grade 1 sprain of the MCL in his right knee, dealing an unexpected blow to the Warriors’ hopes of repeating as champions.

“From our perspective, it’s relatively good news,” general manager Bob Myers said Monday. “Clearly we don’t want to be here getting MRIs at this point of the season, especially someone of Steph’s stature. ...

But mechanically the knee is intact, so that’s good.”

Myers said the two-week estimate is an educated guess based on how players typically respond to similar injuries, but cautioned the absence could be three weeks or possibly slightly shorter.

The team will have a better handle on how long Curry will be out after about a week but Curry will miss the rest of the first round of the playoffs and almost assuredly the start of the second round if the Warriors advance. Golden State leads Houston 3-1 heading into Game 5 at home on Wednesday night.

“If it’s not two weeks, don’t go crazy,” Myers said. “If it’s before that, great. If it’s after, it’s after.”

Curry was injured on the final play of the first half of Sunday’s 121-94 win in Houston when he slid awkwardly on a wet spot on the court and fell. He immediately grabbed See CURRY | Page B4

For Robles, a California-native, it is the opportunity to return home and play on a team that already has one of his best friends from his high school playing days on it.

“It is only six hours away from my home,” Robles said.

“They have a very good soccer program. I like the big city, too, so I was looking to go

back home. One of my best friends from high school goes to San Francisco State.

It is exciting to go back and play with him. He is a really good player.”

Robles enjoyed his time at Allen and says the experience he gained from his time here in Iola is invaluable.

“I definitely matured more as a person by being so far from home,” Robles said. “If I can go all the way to Kansas, I can definitely go to San Francisco.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Albert Pujols claims to pay little attention to his climb up baseball’s career homers list, often greeting his milestones with a dismissive shrug.

“I leave that to (reporters), so you guys can have something to do,” he said Monday night.

Even Pujols had to acknowl-

edge his latest leap up the standings was impressive, particularly because it led to a win for the Los Angeles Angels.

Pujols hit two homers and Mike Trout added another, powering the Angels to a 6-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals.

With two solo shots off Ian Kennedy (2-2), Pujols racked up the 564th and 565th homers of his career. He moved out of

a tie with Reggie Jackson and into sole possession of 13th place on baseball’s career list.

“To be able to even put my name with those legends in baseball before me is pretty special,” Pujols said. “I could have never thought in my entire life that I could do that. ...

Paul departed midway through the third quarter. It was not immediately clear how he was hurt, although his wrist appeared to bend back when he guarded Portland’s Gerald Henderson on a layup.

The Clippers were further hurt when Blake Griffin retreated to the bench late in the game after appearing to aggravate the left quad injury he struggled with this season.

CJ McCollum had 19 points for the Blazers, while Mason Plumlee added 14 rebounds and 10 assists.

Griffin had 17 points before leaving with under 6 minutes left.

Mistaken marathon ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — A 12-year-old western New York girl wound up running 10 extra miles after she got into the wrong road race.

LeeAdianez Rodriguez had registered for the 5K race that was part of last Sunday’s Rochester Regional Health Flower City Challenge.

She thought she was arriving late at the starting line when the race started, so she began running with the rest of the runners.

It turned out she was actually running with the half-marathoners on the 13.1-mile course and not in the 5K, or 3.1 miles. Rodriquez says she realized about halfway through that she was in the wrong race but decided to finish.

She completed the half-marathon in 2:43:31.

Her mother became worried when her daughter wasn’t among the finishers of the 5K, but they were reunited when Rodriquez finished the half-marathon.

Iola track team asks for help Track & Field Fans of Iola, In years past, the Iola Track & Field team has hosted its annual junior varsity track meet. This is the last JV meet for many teams, and we are proud to host it again this year. However, the track meets of in the past would have never happened if it was not

due to community members that have helped run all of the field events and timed the running events. So here is me sending out the “Bat Signal.” We need people to come and help us run our meet on May 9. The meets starts at 4 p.m., so we would need workers to start arriving around 3:15. If you could help

out at all, please contact Dana Daugharthy via email (dana.daugharthy@usd257.org) or at Iola High School (620365-4715). Thank you in advance for all the help!

We could not run this meet without a supportive community like Iola!

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Chris Wondolowski scored on a penalty kick and David Bingham had five saves to help the San Jose Earthquakes beat Sporting Kansas City 1-0 on Sunday.

Wondolowski scored his MLS-leading seventh goal of the season in the 58th minute after Simon

Dawkins drew a likely goal-saving penalty in the box on Kansas City goalkeeper Tim Melia.

Sporting’s Dominic Dwyer appeared to draw a penalty inside San Jose’s box just seconds before Wondolowski’s goal, but didn’t get the call.

Reinstatement of Tom Brady’s four-game “Deflategate” suspension affirmed NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s power — a major point of contention for the NFL players’ union.

The league and the NFLPA have disagreed for years over Goodell’s authority to punish players who violate the personal conduct policy. The union wants a neutral arbiter to issue discipline.

The NFL won’t relent.

So why didn’t the NFLPA fight harder to take central power away from Goodell during the last negotiations for a collective bargaining agreement in 2011?

It’s not that simple.

The perception that the union fell short on this issue gained steamed Monday when a federal appeals court ruled 2-to-1 that Goodell did not deprive Brady of “fundamental fairness” with his procedural rulings.

But the players and the union had bigger priorities in 2011 when the owners locked them out.

Player safety, revenue sharing, salary cap and an 18-game season were just some of the important issues that impact all players. Disciplinary

power in the Commissioner’s hands affects only a small percentage of players every year. It wasn’t a problem when Paul Tagliabue, Pete Rozelle and others held the office and it wasn’t a problem under Goodell until recently.

“That authority has been recognized by many courts and has been expressly incorporated into every collective bargaining agreement between the NFL and NFLPA for the past 40 years,” league spokesman Brian McCarthy said.

The NFLPA successfully negotiated for neutral arbitration for onfield discipline in 2010.

Four years later, the union gained independent arbitration for drug violations. Those were major wins for the players’ association because most disciplinary cases fall under these two categories.

“Collective bargaining is a tough process that results in a massive contract that governs the way labor interacts with management,” NFLPA spokesman George Atallah told The Associated Press. “To say that the union ‘gave up’ anything in 2011 is, frankly, ignorant. Player leadership sets negotiating priorities on wages, hours, working conditions and rights based on the gains earned in prior negotiations and contracts.

“When a collective bargaining agreement is signed, there is an expectation that both parties will honor it. If the union believes — as we did in the so-called ‘Bounty’ case, the Ray Rice matter and even more recently in the Salary Cap case — that the NFL violated this contract, we challenge their abuse of power.”

Royals: Angels top Kansas City Continued from B1

not to really stay focused on that. My focus is to help this organization to win a championship, and I think that’s why (Angels owner) Arte (Moreno) brought me here. He didn’t bring me here to try to pass all those guys.”

Pujols has shaken his dismal start to the season with three homers in two games. The $240 million slugger moved past Jackson with a drive to the fake rock pile beyond center field in the third, and his fifth-inning shot barely eluded a leaping Alex Gordon in left field.

“For us that have been in the game a long time, it means more, because you know the guys he’s passing,” Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. “It’s fun to watch. Albert is special for a lot of reasons.”

Trout added a solo shot in the seventh, his fourth homer of the season.

Garrett Richards (1-3) pitched three-hit ball into the seventh inning of his first win of the season, leaving the Royals frustrated after repeatedly escaping self-created trouble, including five walks. “(Richards) has got great stuff, but he was just wild enough to be really effective,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “We just couldn’t do much with him.”

The Angels have the AL’s worst offense in several categories, but they followed up a three-run first inning with the long ball. Los Angeles scored more than five runs for the second time in 20 games this season.

“I know that this offense, we’re just two or three hits away from clicking,” Pujols said.

“It’s good to take the first game of the series against those guys. They’ve got our number over the last couple of years.”

Salvador Perez drove in Kansas City’s only run.

Eric Hosmer extended his hitting streak to 15 games for the defending World Series champions, who opened a six-game West Coast trip with just their second loss in their last 12 meetings with the Angels, including the 2014 AL division series.

Kennedy is an Orange County native and former USC star who has never beaten the Angels.

He yielded seven hits and four walks, allowing a baserunner in all six innings.

“Even though (Pujols) has been struggling this year, you can’t take him lightly,” Kennedy said. “If you fall behind like that against really good hitters like that, whether they’re struggling or not, they’re going to make you pay.”

MONSTER NUMBERS

Pujols had his 52nd career multihomer game and his 10th with the Angels. He has five homers this season, but his shot on Sunday ended an 0-for26 skid for the three-time NL MVP. He is closing in on Rafael Palmeiro, who sits in 12th place in baseball history with 569 career homers.

G-RICH

Richards got off to a rough start to his first season as the Angels’ opening day starter, losing his head-to-head matchups with stars Jake Arrieta, Cole Hamels and Chris Sale. The Angels’ five runs in the first five innings against Kansas City equaled Richards’ total run support in his first four starts combined.

“I feel like everybody else is pitching well, and I’ve got to keep it going,” Richards said.

UP NEXT

Royals: Edinson Volquez (3-0, 1.46 ERA) has been one of the majors’ top starters so far, throwing seven scoreless innings last week against Detroit.

Angels: Jered Weaver (2-0, 3.12) looks to continue his solid start to the season while improving his 7-6 career record against Kansas City.

Humboldt JV baseball gets split The Cub junior varsity made quick work of Burlington in game one on Monday in Humboldt.

Wyatt Seufert got the game-one start and pitched four, one-run innings. He held the Wildcat offense to just three hits and Humboldt notched the 12-1 win.

Dagen Goodner led the Cub offense by going 2-for-2 at the plate.

The Cub offense did not experience the same type of success in game two and fell to Burlington, 4-3.

“Even though we struggled at the plate in the second game we continued to battle and had the tying run on base in the last inning but just couldn’t get him in,” Humboldt coach Mike Miller said.

Humboldt’s junior varsity is now 8-3 on the season.

Curry: Superstar sprains knee

his knee and jogged with a limp to the locker room.

“Nobody is to blame here,” Myers said. “If you play basketball, that stuff happens unfortunately.”

Curry came out with the team after halftime, but sat on the bench for most of the warmup time. After talking with coaches, he returned to the locker room with his second injury of the series.

Curry had missed the previous two games with a sprained right ankle but said that was not an issue during the first half Sunday.

The Warriors thrived without Curry on Sunday, hitting eight 3-pointers in the third quarter alone to turn a tie game into a 21-point lead on the way to the easy win.

But doing that without the reigning MVP for a longer period of time figures to be more problematic. The Warriors have gone 3-2 this season without Curry playing, including wins against the Rockets on New Year’s Eve and at home in Game 2. Golden State also lost Game 3 in Houston by one point while Curry sat with the ankle injury.

Replacing everything Curry does is almost impossible because no one has ever had the collection of skills he has with the ability to spread the

Our carriers’ (under contract) deadline for home delivery of The Iola Register is 5:30 p.m. weekdays and 9:30 a.m. Saturdays for Iola carriers.

The Warriors’ Stephen Curry (30) reacts after drawing an offensive foul against the Rockets’ James Harden (13) in the second quarter during Game 1 of the Western Conference quarterfinals at Oracle Arena in Oakland, Calif. Jose Carlos Fajardo/Bay Area News Group/TNS defense with long-range shooting, the ballhandling to create his own shot and the playmaking that leads to easy baskets for his teammates.

Curry led the NBA this season by averaging 30.1 points per game, while averaging 6.7 assists, 5.4 rebounds and a leagueleading 2.1 steals as well.

Curry made a record 402 3-pointers, eclipsing his own previous mark by 116.

While backup point guard Shaun Livingston and do-everything power forward Draymond Green can shoulder much of the playmaking load and Klay Thompson is the secondbest 3-point shooter in the league, the Warriors go from a historically great team that won a record 73 games in the regular season with Curry in the lineup to a vulnerable one if he misses significant time.

With a 3-1 series lead and two potential games at home against the eighth-seeded Rockets, Golden State is still primed to advance to the second round without

Curry. But a second-round series against either the Los Angeles Clippers or Portland would be much more problematic.

The second round of the playoffs won’t start until this weekend at the earliest. No matter when the second round starts, Game 4 would likely be either May 8 or 9, which will be in two weeks.

That would make Curry’s earliest possible return in Game 5 but Golden State could be forced to go the entire round without him, which could open a path for teams like San Antonio, Oklahoma City, the Clippers or Cleveland to win the title.

The Warriors benefited from injuries to opponents last season on the way to the NBA title with Memphis point guard Mike Conley missing time in the second round and Cleveland missing point guard Kyrie Irving for the last five games and power forward Kevin Love for the entire NBA Finals.

Now Golden State is the team dealing with injuries.

Chronic hypertension likely has underlying cause Dear Dr. Roach: My daughter’s blood pressure has been high since she was 14, and she is now 43. Her blood pressure recently has been 210/142, and she is having trouble getting it down. She has seen several doctors, and none has an answer. — J.E. Answer: There are two big warning signs in your story. The first is that the high blood pressure began so early, and the second is that it is so very dangerously high.

This raises the suspicion that there might be an underlying cause for her high blood pressure.

One of the most com-

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health mon “secondary” causes in younger people is fibromuscular dysplasia, a condition where the blood vessels to the kidney have a muscular ring, which reduces blood flow to the kidneys.

They, in turn, secrete a substance (renin) that increases blood pressure. Another is pheochromocytoma, a tumor of the adrenal gland that secretes epinephrine and related compounds.

These directly increase blood pressure. Conn’s syndrome is another type of tumor, this time secreting aldosterone.

Then there is obstructive sleep apnea, Cushing’s syndrome (excess cortisol) and coarctation of the aorta, which I would be very concerned about in someone who had high blood pressure so young.

A coarctation is a partial blockage in the aorta (the major artery in the body). It occurs sometimes between the blood vessel going to the left arm and that to the right, and sometimes between the blood vessels to the arms and

Tuesday, April 26, 2016

B5

those to the legs. Thus, in a coarctation, there is always a big difference in the blood pressure of the arms and that of the legs, and sometimes a big difference from one arm and the other.

This list of secondary causes is not exhaustive: certain medications (oral contraceptives, for example) can cause high blood pressure, as can recreational drugs, especially cocaine.

Given the severity of her blood pressure, she should see an expert in hypertension. This specialist often has additional certification in kidney disease or heart disease.

When your affections are greater than his Dear Carolyn: I was sure I wanted to spend the rest of my life with my boyfriend of three years, until I asked him if he felt the same and he said no.

He says he doesn’t want to get married or move in together, but he might feel differently in the future.

We discussed breaking up and he made it clear that he doesn’t want that.

But where do we/I go from here? Now I feel insecure and unsure. Part of me thinks I should just enjoy the relationship without needing to be sure of a future, but a big part of me feels betrayed that he doesn’t want to make a commitment.

—Unsure Unsure: I’m sorry you didn’t get the answer you hoped for. Any good news that follows that, like his

Tell Me About It Carolyn Hax wanting to stay together, rarely gives much of a lift.

I don’t have a clear path to advise for you because it depends entirely on you and what you want and need and feel. I do have a couple of thoughts, though.

First, I don’t think feelings can be betrayals. It’s when people act on their feelings that the possibility of betrayal comes in.

If your boyfriend were to act as if he wanted a future with you while auditioning your replacements on the side, then

that would be a betrayal.

If he gave you the answer you wanted while privately having no intention of marrying you, then that, too, would be a betrayal.

If instead he’s being honest about his feelings as he’s having them, or at least after he’s had a chance to figure them out, then he’s honoring his commitment to you. He just might not be doing so in the way you’d prefer.

This might seem like a picky point to make, but how you respond emotionally to his revelation will likely have a huge effect on how you act around him and on how this all plays out. Being angry or resentful about his truth will push you to act defensively, whereas being sad but appreciative (or just respectful)

of his honesty will open you up to each other more and, in all likelihood, help you feel better about the outcome, whatever it may be.

My second thought is, give yourself some time — to grieve the future you had envisioned and to come up with a new one. You’re already taking small steps in that direction, but in a binary way, it seems — stay or go.

While that is technically the choice you face, you have a whole diner menu of choices on how to feel.

For example, you can look at his have-and-eat-cake attitude toward your relationship as a reason to think differently of him as a person. Or you can look at your own focus on marriage as something overdue for scrutiny.

Golf: Mustangs finish second in league Continued from B1

greatly.”

Monday was another major step in the right direction for the young herd of Mustangs.

Iola Coach Doug Kerr says the 2016 version of Mustang golf has been a fun one to work with.

“You look for different positives,” Kerr said.

“The last couple of years we were right in the money every week. This group of kids, they work hard and they are really coachable. Right now, we are just working on cutting down those rookie mistakes.”

Each tournament, the young group continues to improve. Several players cut double-digit strokes from their totals in the last tournament they competed.

The key to that success has been the collective attitude the team has adopted this season.

Without any returning varsity experience, each member of the team focuses not only on their individual improvement but of his or her teammates as well.

“It has been really fun,” Iola golfer Chloe Hageman said. “Watching us all lose strokes is a fun thing to watch...

(Kerr) has helped us with a lot of shots... He has benefited us a lot.”

The Mustangs took sixth place as a team on Monday overall, but out of the four Pioneer League teams vying for the league title, Iola finished in second.

“I’m really proud of them,” Kerr said. “Anytime you can finish top 10 in league is a good accomplishment and the good thing is next year we have everyone back.”

The Mustangs were 12

Individually, Iola was led by Gage Tomlison, who placed 26th at the tournament with a 96.

His score earned him ninth-place among Pioneer League participants.

“It is one of the best feelings I’ve had in a while,” Tomlinson said.

“I know this course better than any other course.”

Elijah Luedke finished just one stroke behind his teammate with a 97 which earned him 30th.

“I am really happy, but we have four years to get better,” Luedke said.

Jeremy Waldman and Drake Sell finished at 107 and 108 to notch finishes of 39th and 41st respectively.

Gentry Dougharty

shot a 114 and took 43rd place, while Hageman rounded out the field of Iola golfers in 45th place with a 116.

CENTRAL HEIGHTS

senior Matt Percy won the Buck Quincy Invitional and the individual Pioneer League title by shooting a 70 for the day.

“I feel like I’m on the upswing,” Percy said.

“Hopefully I can keep the momentum going into the postseason.”

Percy, the son of Iola High baseball coach Mark Percy, started his day with a blistering 33 at Cedarbrook Golf Course and he built a five-stroke lead on the rest of the field.

“It offers a unique setting,” Percy said of getting to play at both Cedarbrook and Allen County Country Club.

The things I put up with!

“You have one course that is tight and treelined and you have another course where you can open it up a little bit.”

Percy said his familiarity with Iola’s courses gave him an advantage.

“I was very comfortable,” Percy said. “I think I had more of a focus on beating par than beating the field. I was playing against the course rather than the opponents.”

Chanute’s Clete Carlson closed the gap on Percy in the back nine by shooting a 35, while Percy shot a 37.

It wasn’t enough to catch Percy though and he won the event by three strokes.

Percy won the league title by 13 strokes. Anderson County’s Zach Miller took second in the league and seventh in the event with a 83.
