KINCAID FAIR
Free Fair, free fun The historic Kincaid Farmers Free Fair brought hundreds of folks to the small town last Saturday. Some, like Anastasia and Cecilia Gordon — pink and purple, respectively — came dressed as ribbons. But most just showed up for the candy, the rides, the parade, the turtle races, the bands, the bean feed, the fun. REGISTER/RICK DANLEY
Debate night: Clinton, Trump set for showdown By JULIE PACE The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — After months of tangling from afar, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will confront each other face-to-face for the first time in tonight’s presidential debate, laying out for voters their vastly different visions for America’s future. The high-stakes showdown — the first of three presidential debates — comes as both candidates are viewed
negatively by large numbers of Americans, with Democrat Clinton facing questions about her trustworthiness and Republican Trump struggling to convince many voters that he has the temperament and policy depth to be president. Interest in the presidential race has been intense, and the campaigns are expecting a record-breaking audience to watch the 8 p.m. 90-minute televised debate at New York’s Hofstra University.
Clinton, a former senator and secretary of state, is banking on voters seeing her as a steady hand who can build on the record of President Barack Obama, whose popularity is rising as he winds down his second term in office. She’s called for expanding Obama’s executive orders if Congress won’t pass legislation to overhaul the nation’s immigration system and for broader gun control measures. Overseas, she’s called for a no-fly zone in Syr-
ia but has vowed to keep the military out of a large-scale ground war to defeat the Islamic State group. FOR CLINTON, victory in November largely hinges on rallying the same young and diverse coalition that elected Obama but has yet to fully embrace her. Her campaign manager, Robby Mook, told “CBS This Morning” today that she fully understood she still See DEBATE | Page A4
High court justices to visit Iola
Tuesday afternoon and evening two members of the Kansas Supreme Court will be in Iola to meet with students and members of the public. T h e purpose of their visit is to discuss their roles as members of the High Lawton Nuss Court. As never before, the Supreme Court justices have become targets of Gov. Sam Brownback and his ultra-conservative allies who are pushing for their removal in the upcoming general election, mainly because of the court’s recent positions on school finance. In this year’s legislative session, Gov. Brownback asked for greater authority to appoint members of the High Court; members of the Senate passed a measure that would make the justices liable to impeachment and Brownback and his legislative allies threatened to defund the entire judicial branch. Chief Justice Lawton Nuss and Justice Marcia Luckert will meet with more than 300 area high school seniors from 1 to 2:15 p.m. in the Bowlus Fine Arts Center. The public is welcome to attend this session if they cannot attend the evening session. The justices will then meet with the general public at 7 o’clock in the lecture hall of Iola Hall School. Doors open at 6 p.m. Due to security reasons, entry is through the east doors, only. The public is encouraged to attend either session. The justices will be eager to hear your questions as well as your opinions on Kansas today.
Women take aim, fly high at National Wild Turkey outing By JON DYKSTRA The Iola Register
LE ROY — The Kansas First Upland Pioneers hosted its fourth annual “Women in the Outdoors” event on Saturday outside of Le Roy. The local Kansas National Wild Turkey Federation hosted 47 women from the area for the day. One of the highlights of the day was a seminar by “The First Lady of Hunting” Brenda Valentine. Valentine is an award-winning television personality and author. Valentine’s message to the women was simple and one that she believes all men and women would benefit from implementing. She encouraged her audience to continue to try new things. Whether it is hunting, fishing, hiking or even if it has nothing to do with the out-

comfortable going out and doing many of the outdoor activities that were featured at the event, because they don’t see many other women participating in them, but that shouldn’t be a deterrent and oftentimes
women are extremely successful at hunting and fishing due to their patient dispositions. Event organizer Jennifer Foster, the Kansas State Women in the Outdoors coordinator, echoed Valentine’s senti-
ments. “The whole point in us doing this and the reason we started it four years ago and the reason it continues to be successful is because a lot of times, everyone is worried about getting our kids out of the house and involved,” Foster said. “My purpose for this is to get women out and involved, too. If you get women out and they are involved in being in the outdoors and not sitting at home, then they will be more likely to get their kids out and doing those things too. “It is really a thing for all generations. It will just trickle down.” The day included a trap range, a hand gun range, a chukar shoot, a rifle range, a 3-D archery range, fly fishing, a muzzleloader range, a Dutch oven cooking class, a duck hunting decoy setup lesson, a See NWTF | Page A4
