A NIGHT @ THE LAB

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

Some of the brightest high school students in southeast Kansas shone at Tuesday’s “Night @ The Lab” at Allen Community College.

The event, sponsored by the University of Kansas Medical Center Area Health Education Center, allowed high-schoolers to explore connections between health and science, and then show their knowledge to the community.

Among the seven schools participating were students from Iola, Marmaton Valley and Yates Center.

Iola’s contingent featured junior Olivia Taylor, freshman Ella Taylor and Marmaton Valley sophomore Sarah Spillman. The trio are a part of the ANW Special Education Cooperative’s gifted student program, Spillman said.

Spillman and the Taylor sisters’ display detailed total disc replacement, a possible treatment for sufferers of lower back pain.

Their presentation included a model of a person’s backbone, a 3-D printer capable of creating artificial discs that would then be inserted into a person’s vertebrae and a display board consolidating reams of information into easy-to-understand summaries.

Last year, the school’s nursing program voluntarily withdrew from another group, the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing, because it appeared it was about to be rejected for reaccreditation.

Vatican: Burial guidelines VATICAN CITY (AP) — The Vatican on Tuesday published guidelines for Catholics who want to be cremated, saying their remains cannot be scattered, divvied up or kept at home but rather stored in a sacred, church-approved place.

The new document repeats that burial remains preferred, with officials calling cremation a “brutal destruction” of the body. But it lays out guidelines for conserving ashes for the increasing numbers of Catholics who choose cremation for economic, ecological or other reasons.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — One of Kansas City’s most venerable cultural institutions, the annual American Royal horse and livestock exhibition, is moving to Kansas from Missouri, officials announced Tuesday.

Their announcement culminates months of work by Republican Gov. Sam Brownback and the Kansas Department of Commerce to lure the 117-year-old exhibition across the state line.

The state and American Royal officials are planning on a $160 million development near the Kansas Speedway, with an exposition center and two arenas — one with 5,000 to 8,000 seats, the other with a couple t h o u sand for smaller events.

Kansas is committing to authorizing $80 mil- Brownback lion in bonds to be paid off with sales tax revenues collected in the area, Brownback said, and officials hope the development will attract a new hotel.

“This is an important growth opportunity for both the Royal and the region,” Brownback said during a news conference at the speedway in west Wyandotte County. “It’s up to us to claim this mantle and move it forward.”

The effort previously generated some controversy, as some Kansas legislators questioned whether it came with a potential cost to the cash-strapped state.

Sales tax revenues used to back bonds for such a project would not flow to the state as it wrestles with budget problems.

Kansas state S e n .

Laura Kelly, a To p e k a Democ r a t , Sen. Kelly s a i d s h e ’ s wary of issuing additional bonds. While she acknowledged some excitement that Wyandotte County was attracting a big project and new jobs, she said it doesn’t give her much satisfaction knowing those things come at neighboring Missouri’s expense.

“It’s sort of more of the same of just stealing from Missouri rather than trying to grow that region altogether,” said Kelly, who serves on the Senate budget committee.

The American Roy-

al says its exhibition draws nearly 270,000 people a year. Many of them come for a national barbecue contest, and this year’s competition — beginning today with 568 teams and an expected turnout of 50,000 people — already has moved to the speedway.

The show has played such an important role

of the future,” James said.

A report earlier this year by the Kansas Department of Commerce envisioned a Kansasbased American Royal as part of a major development near the speedway that would include a new hotel, a children’s museum and a 5,000-seat arena that could be used for

in Kansas City, Mo., that after the city was awarded a major league baseball team for the 1969 season, the name “Royals” was chosen from among thousands of suggestions submitted by fans. The winning entry cited the popularity of the American Royal and the city’s pre-eminent position in the livestock industry.

The American Royal spent several years trying to persuade leaders in Kansas City, Mo., to tear down the aging Kemper Arena, the former home of the event, and replace it with a smaller venue.

But officials eventually dropped the effort following criticism from historic preservationists and other groups who want the 42-yearold arena to be saved.

In 2011, the American Royal Rodeo was held in the Sprint Center in downtown Kansas City before moving back to Hale Arena, a smaller building near Kemper Arena in the city’s West Bottoms.

Kansas state Sen. Jim Denning, an Overland Park Republican, said the new project appears to be far more acceptable than the plans for an American Royal development that he and other lawmakers criticized earlier this year. Denning said it’s still not clear to him how the new development would generate the sales tax revenues needed to pay off the bonds.

“The project’s been scaled way back,” he said.

A spokesman for Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon, a Democrat, had no comment on the announcement. In Kansas City, Mo., Mayor Sly James said he wished the Royal well.

“We can absolutely keep our fond memories of the American Royal alive, while honoring our past and preparing for our next chapter as an entrepreneurial, high tech and innovative community

hockey.

Angie Stanland, chairwoman of the Royal’s board of directors, said it hopes to break ground on the development early next year. She said it could take two years to complete.

“We are designing as we speak,” Stanland said.

While some of the events, including livestock competitions, are underway now at the Missouri site, it wasn’t immediately clear whether the Royal would stay there while awaiting the Kansas venue to be built.

The speedway is

part of a thriving entertainment and retail shopping district that includes Major League Soccer and minor-league baseball stadiums — much of which Brownback credited Tuesday as being financed with bonds some lawmakers have criticized. With state approval, Wyandotte County issued $450 million in bonds starting in 2001 to build the speedway and develop the area, with the bonds backed by sales tax revenues.

“Do you think any of this would be here without (those) bonds?

And I think the answer is no,” Brownback said.

The speedway-related bonds will be paid off early, by the end of this year. Some legislators wanted to ensure that sales tax revenues would begin flowing to the state, rather than having them back bonds for a new project.

Kansas has struggled to balance its budget since Republican legislators slashed personal income taxes in 2012 and 2013 to stimulate the economy. The announcement about the American Royal came two weeks before the Nov. 8 election, with Brownback’s allies facing a political backlash over the budget as they seek re-election to the Legislature.

Financial Focus Guard Against Identity Theft – and Protect Your Finances

In 2015 alone, more than 13 million Americans were victimized by identity theft, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. What can you do to guard your identity and protect yourself from potential financial losses?

Here are some ideas to consider: • Review your statements. Closely review the monthly statements from your checking and other financial accounts. If you find any unfamiliar charges, contact your bank or other financial services provider immediately.

• Order your credit reports. The three credit reporting agencies – TransUnion, Equifax and Experian – are each required by law to provide you one free credit report a year. Make sure your name, address and other information are correct on your credit report, and if you find old or inaccurate information, have it removed.

Place a fraud alert. If you suspect you have become a victim of Identity theft, place a "fraud alert" on your credit reports by contacting any of the three credit reporting agencies. You can choose a shortterm or long-term alert. And if you’re an active member of the military, you can request a special, one-year alert.

• Feed your shredder. Shred all old bank and investment statements, applications for new credit cards and any other documents that contain personal information.

• Destroy digital data. If you have a variety of financial accounts, you’re not just creating a paper trail – you’re also establishing a digital “footprint.”

So, when you sell or otherwise dispose of a computer system or hard drive, you may want to take steps to destroy personal data. You might think that simply deleting it would be sufficient, but techsavvy identity thieves can “undelete” files or recover information from a formatted drive. However, products are available that allow you to completely wipe out data on hard drives.

• Change passwords. It’s a good idea to change your Internet passwords every so often – especially those passwords that provide access to financial accounts.

• Leave your Social Security card home. Snagging someone’s Social Security number is a real “catch” for identity thieves, so do everything you can to thwart them. And you can start by leaving your Social Security card safely at home – after all, there’s probably never a good reason to bring it out, anyway. In fact, be wary of anyone, or any business, that asks for your Social Security number, either in person or online. Except for a few obvious exceptions, such as your tax preparer, most reputable businesses don’t need to know anything about your Social Security information.

• Watch for “phishers.” If you’ve ever gotten an email, supposedly from your bank, advising you that your account will be “frozen” unless you provide personal details about your account, it’s a good bet that someone is “phishing” for this information – and they’re using the “freezing” threat as bait. What’s particularly alarming is that these “phishers” have gotten quite good at duplicating logos and using official-sounding language. However, a legitimate bank would never threaten you this way with an email, so, if you get such a message, contact the bank’s fraud department.

You can go a long way toward protecting yourself against identity theft by following these suggestions — so put them to work soon.

recent months, starting with the decision by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick to not stand while it is played. Kaepernick cited racial injustice and police brutality among the reasons for his protest.

State Rep. Gail Finney, a Wichita Democrat, told The Eagle that Seiwert’s comments about Lawrence’s protest were insulting. Sen. David Haley, a Kansas City Democrat, told the newspaper that he’s “saddened to see such racism.” Finney and Haley are black; Seiwert is white.

Clifton Beck, a Democrat running against Seiwert in their Wichita-area district, also denounced the Facebook posting. Beck, who also is white, said Seiwert’s posting was offensive because during the civil rights movement, “go home to Africa” was a racial slur.

“It’s a well-known slur, and he used it,” Beck told The Associated Press.

While Seiwert did not return a telephone message Tuesday evening from AP, he told The Topeka Capital-Journal that he was trying with his post to stand up for the U.S. flag and the military.

“I am not a racist. I believe in freedom,” he told the newspaper. “It offends me when people disrespect the flag. If unhappy, move to somewhere where you’re happy.”

Seiwert was first elected to the Kansas House in 2008. In November 2010, he faced criticism for forwarding an email without comment to about 40 people arguing that good Muslims couldn’t be good Americans.

Donald Trump speaks at a Trump rally on Tuesday in Sanford, Fla. Stephen M. Dowell/Orlando Sentinel/TNS

Trump takes break to boost properties WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump’s campaign is defending his eyebrow-raising decision to spend precious campaign time promoting his business in the final days of the long presidential campaign as his poll numbers sink.

With less than two weeks left before Election Day, the Republican candidate is taking a break from campaigning this morning to formally open his new hotel in Washington.

Meanwhile, he is dispatching his running mate, Mike Pence, to play political defense in Utah — which hasn’t backed a Democrat for president in 52 years.

Trump’s hotel stop follows a visit Tuesday to another of Trump’s properties, the Doral golf course outside Miami. The odd travel schedule less than two weeks before the Nov. 8 election illustrates a Republican ticket pulled in two directions while Democrat Hillary Clinton surges.

Trump’s campaign manager defended the stops, arguing that rival Hillary Clinton took time off to prepare for the debates and that stops at Trump’s hotels highlight his business experience.

“Hillary Clinton took five days off to prepare for one debate and everyone looked at that as some kind of noble exercise,” she said, on NBC’s “Today” show. “He’s got the most active campaign sked of the two

candidates by far.”

The appearance comes amid signs that Trump’s controversial presidential campaign has hurt his corporate brand. Rooms at the new $212 million hotel that bears his name at Washington’s Old Post Office Pavilion have been heavily discounted and smartphone data suggest fewer people are visiting his properties compared to rival venues nearby.

A new Facebook live show produced by his campaign has heightened speculation that Trump may try and offset any losses with advertising revenue by starting a media network — a claim he denies.

At his Miami golf course, employees, many of them Hispanic women, offered testimonials about how happy they are working for him — touting Trump’s job-creating prowess.

Trump also promoted the workers as examples of people affected by rising “Obamacare” premiums, though the golf course’s general manager later clarified that most workers receive their insurance through Trump as their employer.

“He could make this race for the last two weeks a referendum on Obamacare. But of course he won’t do that,” said former Ted Cruz strategist Chris Wilson. “It’s just a matter of him swatting at flies instead of having a coherent and consistent message.”

Prisons: KDOC adapts to prisoners’ mental health segregation unit. Most of the time, an inmate with mental illness will be placed in segregation if he stops taking medications and his symptoms worsen dramatically, he said.

“It’s like people on the street. You take your meds and you feel better, and they think, ‘I’m managing (my illness), why do I need this?’” he said.

severe and persistent mental illness. The number of inmates needing mental health care hasn’t fallen in the three years since then.

“Our mental health beds are always full … it’s a pressing issue. The governor is very aware and supportive of that.

It’s one of the critical issues in our system,” he said then.

Kansas closed many of its state hospital beds in the 1990s as part of a push to treat people in their communities, but policymakers didn’t follow through with funding for those community resources. Some people with mental illnesses thrived outside the hospital setting, while others became homeless or their mental states deteriorated — placing them at risk for being arrested, even if they didn’t intend to commit crimes.

Some cities in Kansas have begun training their police officers to calm agitated people and direct them toward mental health treatment, and a few have mental health courts to divert those who are arrested away from prison.

Still, KDOC continues to house a large number of inmates who need mental health treatment.

LORI

AMMONS,

KDOC mental health program director since 2008, said the increased need for care led the department to hire more mental health workers.

KDOC hired psychiatrists, master’s level practitioners, activity therapists and psychiatric nurses, boosting total mental health staff by about 25 percent in 2013 and 2014, she said.

There has been some employee turnover, but the department has been able to maintain staffing levels since that increase, Ammons said. It also recently added six employees to work with about 60 inmates who were transferred from Larned State Hospital to KDOC, she said.

More inmates, greater need

The need for psychiatric treatment in prison isn’t going away. The percentage of adult inmates with mental health conditions has held roughly steady since 2013, around 37 percent, but their conditions have become more severe, said Viola Riggin, director of health care services for KDOC. About 11 percent of offenders in the KDOC population have a “significant and persistent” mental illness, which is the most severe classification, Riggin said. Four years ago, only 7 percent had reached that threshold, she said.

“Those are the people you would see at Osawatomie State Hospital,” she said.

Inmates with the most severe needs are housed in the security wing of Larned State Hospital or in the Larned Correctional Mental Health Facility. Most other inmates can live with the general prison population, Riggin said.

“We try to keep them in the least restrictive environment possible,” she said. “We try to integrate them into the general population as much as possible.”

In the past year or so, the department increased the number of beds in a residential treatment unit from 120 to 280 and added a 30-bed transitional unit, Ammons said. Those units house inmates who need more intensive care than they would receive in the general population

but who don’t need to be at the mental health facility in Larned.

“We always want a flow where patients have the ability to get out of a residential unit,” she said.

In the residential units, inmates are separated from the general prison population and have around-the-clock coverage from nurses trained to work with psychiatric patients, Riggin said. Inmates housed there receive six to eight hours of mental health treatment per day, she said.

“That is very comparable to the state hospitals,” she said.

In the transitional unit, inmates can go out to the yard with the general population but are separated during meals and when medication is distributed, Riggin said.

THE

RESIDENTIAL

and transitional mental health units differ from segregation because inmates get more time out of their cells for therapy and recreation and are allowed to talk with each other and eat their meals together, Riggin said. Inmates with mental illness are placed in segregation only if their behavior is too violent to be controlled in another setting, she said.

Inmates who are in segregation still receive treatment, including therapy, and can have some unstructured time out of the cell if they can do so safely, said James Heimgartner, warden of El Dorado Correctional Facility, which has 1,500 medium- and maximumsecurity inmates, and a

who most assuredly do.

“Rather than just talk about it,” said Taylor, “it’s easier if I have a volunteer.” With that, Lee mounted the Biodex’s platform, a large platter-sized disc that can be adjusted for maximum wobbliness, and awaited Taylor’s instruction.

According to Taylor, the Biodex is currently used mostly for an older population but its capabilities include a broader potential. The level of difficulty can be adjusted from “very easy to very challenging,” from a simple “fall-risk assessment” to an “athletic single-leg stance” test. Its applications, said Taylor, are meant to accommodate everyone from the 80-year-old victim of a stroke to the 19-year-old college athlete with a sprained ankle.

Watching the screen before him, Lee’s task was to guide a tiny digital dot into the center of a bull’s-eye, and keep it there, using only the subtle adjustments of his body weight. As the exercise progressed, the platform assumed

a new and precarious wiggle.

The machine records and saves the data, which allows the hospital not only to draw longitudinal conclusions about the success of a particular patient’s rehabilitation but to compare those findings with similar patients in his or her age-category.

The machine, purchased by the ACRH Auxiliary, includes a menu of different exercises — not just the digital ball game — that Taylor and his staff will select in accord with the need of the patient.

At the end of Tuesday night’s demonstration, Taylor printed out his subject’s results, which showed that Lee had the balance of a man many decades his junior.

“He passed with flying colors,” said Taylor.

“I knew he would.”

THE HOSPITAL’S executive director, Tony Thompson, updated the board on the increasing number of specialists bringing their expertise to ACRH. Recent examples include Dr. David Dowell (surgical podiatry) and Dr. Jacqueline

Youtsos (dermatology).

There is some evidence, said Thompson, that the investment in a broader medical services menu is helping ACRH attract patients who previously would have taken their needs elsewhere. In that spirit, continued Thompson, the hospital is “stepping up” its search for an additional OB/GYN, and is on the lookout, too, for a visiting endocrinologist (glands).

Thompson briefed the board on the upcoming clinic in Humboldt. A ribbon-cutting and reception will take place Nov. 21 (exact time pending).

Finally, nursing director Patty McGuffin relayed the cheery news that the composite scores for the hospital’s “quality assurance” reports — which measure nurses’ and doctors’ responsiveness, facility cleanliness, pain management, discharge instructions, etc. — show ACRH with an average ranking that beats both the state and national averages. “These numbers speak very well of our medical professionals,” said Lee.

Getting buy-in for treatment

Encouraging those reluctant inmates to take their medications and go to therapy has become an area of emphasis in Kansas prisons, Ammons said. Some of the most seriously ill inmates don’t believe they have a problem, so employees try to “gently” guide them to think through their current condition and decide that treatment might help, she said.

“We spend a lot of time looking at those who are noncompliant with our recommendations,” she said. “If you can get buyin from them, they’re more apt to engage in treatment in the community as well.”

Dawn Shepler, a community corrections supervisor based in Wichita, said she has noticed that some offenders who cycled through parole and back to prison recently were more willing to take medications and keep appointments when they got out.

“They’re coming out and they’re actually engaging in treatment,” she said.

MENTAL

HEALTH

employees also have developed ways to adjust the behavior of inmates at a higher risk for selfharm, Riggin said. For example, they found one man with a history of self-mutilation could be occupied by playing a simple game with a tennis ball, so they encouraged him to ask for the ball when he felt the urge to hurt himself, she said. Another apparently enjoys mopping the floors and asks to do it when he feels overwhelmed.

“It’s working with that patient to see what’s going to keep their mind occupied,” she said.

While suicide is the leading cause of death

in jails, prison inmates are about as likely to die by suicide as the general population.

The Bureau of Justice Statistics reported 15 deaths by suicide for every 100,000 inmates in state or federal prisons in 2013. In the United States as a whole, there were 13 deaths by suicide for every 100,000 people that year.

In fiscal year 2016, there were no inmate suicides in the KDOC system, but there were three attempts, 44 threats of suicide and 29 incidents of “selfharm,” which varied in severity, Riggin said.

One inmate has committed suicide since the current fiscal year started in June, she said.

If no one else dies by suicide during the current fiscal year, the rate would be about 10 per 100,000 people.

“We are dealing with severely mentally ill patients,” she said.

“But our level of crisis (events) compared to seriously mentally ill prisoners is very low.”

RICK CAGAN executive director of the Kansas chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, said the care inmates receive in prison still may not be exactly the same as what they would receive in the community, but it has improved noticeably in recent years.

“They have made progress,” he said.

“They do have standards. They do provide care.”

KDOC has a continuous process to evaluate treatment and look for better ways to reduce recidivism, Ammons said.

“I see us always as a work in progress,” she said. “I see (correctional psychology) as a developing field.”

Heimgartner, the El Dorado warden, said KDOC’s approach to inmates with mental health issues has changed in the 25 years he has worked there.

Now, the idea is to identify the inmate’s needs and improve his condition as much as possible, he said.

“Twenty-five years ago, mentally ill inmates were just inmates,” he said. “If it was the same (now) as it was 25 years ago, I probably wouldn’t be (working) here.”

chase of fruits and vegetables.

“We were pleased with the increase of participation,” said Debbie Bearden, a market organizer.

“We had 50 more people using SNAP cards at the market this year,” compared to 2015.

“It’s a nationwide program and you’re going to see it more and more,” said Calvin Parker, board president of Allen County GROW (Growing Rural Opportunities Works) Food and Farm Council. He pointed out the extra funds for healthy food were not relegated specifically to farmers markets and could be spent anywhere.

Commissioners also agreed for the county to be the conduit for a hopedfor grant from the Health Care Foundation of Greater Kansas City. The application, being prepared by Thrive Allen County, proposes to use about $12,000 to hire a manager for the farmers market.

The math: 30 hours a week for 27 weeks at $15 an hour.

Bearden said the market continues to expand its offerings including entertainment and demonstrations on how to prepare food.

VETERANS DAY

will be celebrated in downtown Iola Nov. 5, said Tom Nevans, Veterans Committee representative.

A program will start at 11 a.m. and the parade will follow at noon. Veterans Day officially is Nov. 11, the same in 1918 when World War I ended at 11 a.m.

Nevans gave commissioners a package of 10 green light bulbs, saying the committee hopes to turn the area green by Nov. 5 with residents placing the green lights in porch lights.

“We’d like to have courthouse lights green,” as well, he said. “We’re working on it.”

Justice & politics: A cautionary tale “(I)t is a heady feeling being in the political majority and having all branches of government accountable to your beliefs, but we must not forget that one day the tables may be turned and our only recourse as members of a political minority will be in a court of law. ... I want the judge presiding over my case to have allegiance only to justice and the law, not to the political interests that can ensure his or her reelection.”-- John L. Warren III, Washington Uni-

versity Jurisprudence Review, 2014.

A citizen’s only guarantor of personal liberties is an independent judiciary protected as much as possible from the inexorable, if sometimes slow, to and fro of the political pendulum.

Complete insulation is difficult when the state’s highest judicial officers are subject to retention elections every six years. However, reasonable protection can be provided if voters understand the overriding importance to them of judicial independence and resist the pressure or temptation to dismiss judges because of specific decisions.

That is the test of civic maturity Kansans face Nov. 8 when five Supreme Court justices and six appeals court judges (11 out of 21) are up for yes-or-no retention votes.

Replacements for any voted out would be chosen by Gov. Sam Brownback, who makes no secret of his ambition to mold the Kansas judiciary to his ideological specifications.

That’s truly corruptive of judicial independence.

Dismissal of any of them would be an unfortunate precedent. In 56 years of the retention process, no one has been voted out. A study of the outcomes nevertheless illustrates the risk described by Warren.

From 1958 through 2012, Supreme Court justices were routinely retained by margins ranging from 3-to-1 to 7-to-1. Brownback was inaugurated in 2011, and the 2012 retention election followed the historic pattern, Justice Nancy Moritz winning by 70.9 to 29.0 percent. But Brownback began aggressively attacking the court’s independence, seeking to change the constitutional appointment process and to unseat two justices up for retention in 2014.

Each squeaked by, 52 percent to 47 percent.

Davis Merritt Courtesy of the Wichita Eagle This year, all the guns and money of the Brownback far right are trained on four of the justices. It is worth noting that three of the targeted four have twice been retained by those huge margins and the other retained once, by a comfortable 2-to-1 margin.

So why are they suddenly unacceptable? The answer: they have not changed but the political atmosphere under Brownback obviously has.

Conservatives pleased by that change should not fail to notice that this year’s primary voting indicated a shift toward the middle. Any new justices appointed by Brownback in 2017 would face retention votes in 2018. If the political shift toward the center continued, their short tenures would again subject the court to massive change.

So we’re living a Kansas version of Warren’s cautionary scenario and that would be good for no one, conservative, moderate or liberal, or for the quality of justice itself.

Continual mix-master disruption for transient political reasons would diminish the crucial values of experience, continuity and public trust.

Tossing out judges because of dislike for their decisions is not an answer to an improved justice system; it’s a poison.

Attorney Theodore Olson, certified, life-long conservative lawyer in the Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush administrations and architect of Bush v Gore, wrote in its corrosive aftermath: “We expect dignity, wisdom, decency, civility, integrity and restraint from our judges. It is time to exercise those same characteristics in our dealing with — and commentary on — those same judges.”

This year that means voting “yes” for them and for independence.

I’m pro-life — but support Clinton

By JENNIFER SARVER Dallas Morning News

I am pro-life. I have been for as long as I can remember. I went to crisis pregnancy center events with my parents when I was a kid. I remember painting pro-life signs with my mom. I believe that every life is precious and every human being is created in the image of God. I believe it because it’s a core tenet of my faith and it says so in black and white in the Bible.

I believe that God has a plan and purpose for each life, that he can utilize unintended beginnings for greatness.

I have never wavered in my belief, but I have often wrestled with how to bridge the gap between both sides of this emotional, divisive and heart-wrenching issue. I have friends who have had abortions. I have a family member who has had an abortion. I have friends who work for Planned Parenthood and friends who work in the pro-life movement. No one I know takes this issue‚ or the decision to have an abortion‚ lightly.

There are those on the right who have demonized women for having abortions; the current GOP candidate has even suggested punishing women for having one. But the left often casts anyone who is pro-life as anti-woman and anti-feminist. They fail to respect the deep moral and religious conviction that drives the belief.

But the caricature the right paints of “abortions on demand” is far from the norm.

There are many consequences and circumstances that lead a woman to make such a weighty choice. In fact, I did my grad school thesis on the question: “Can you be a prolife feminist?” because it is a label I had used that was met with skepticism. I surveyed more than 100 women about their opinions on the issue and was surprised by what I found. While many women were pro-choice, they told me they would not personally choose abortion. But they did not want to make that deci-

sion for others. I don’t agree with their view, but I can understand it.

My faith dictates that it is important we care for and respect all people — born and unborn. And that is one of the undercurrents of our political climate that is most concerning, that only some lives have value and worth.

This is not a Christian value.

I believe that immigrants (undocumented or otherwise) and refugees are created in God’s image. That Muslims, Jews and Hindus all have God’s imprint. Again, I believe this because it says so in black and white in the Bible.

I believe it is the height of hypocrisy when we scream from the top of our lungs about protecting a baby in utero, yet neglect to provide basic resources for those same children once born.

Aside from providing a safety net for children born into need, I believe we are focused on the wrong problem. The problem isn’t abortion. The root of the problem is unintended pregnancies.

Until we are willing and able to have honest conversations, and do everything we can from a public policy standpoint to address the root cause, overturning Roe v. Wade is a moot point. Until we offer sex education that is scientifically sound and teaches more than abstinence (which data and common sense tell us don’t work); until birth control is widely available and health insurers are required to offer it; until adoption is simple and affordable — the demand for abortion will persist, regardless of legality.

I am pro-life. I do not agree with Hillary Clinton’s position on this issue. My support of her does not mean that I support all of her policy positions‚ in fact, I disagree with many of them. Were Donald Trump not at the top of the Republican ticket, I would be proudly supporting any number of the qualified candidates who ran against him.

But, as a wise woman and mentor of mine often says:

“Every election is a choice, and perfect is never on the ballot.”

Given the options we have, I have made the conscious and deliberate choice to support the more substantive, stable and experienced candidate — even if I disagree with her on this vital issue, among others. (And, given the fact that Trump was pro-choice until it was politically expedient to be pro-life, his stated views on this issue, as with many other recent roadside conversions of his, are meaningless to me.)

I am disheartened by how many in the Christian industrial complex yell and spew hate toward Democrats, immigrants, gays and anyone else whose world view doesn’t comport with theirs. The Bible has strong words for those who claim to love God, but fail to love their neighbors.

So, for those who question my faith, and ask how I can support a pro-choice candidate, while being personally pro-life, I offer you this: You are not the judge and jury.

You cannot peer into the soul of another human being. My relationship with my savior is personal and I sleep soundly at night knowing it’s a strong one. I challenge you to spend just as much energy fighting for the voiceless children and families in our society who live among us, homeless, jobless, living in poverty, battling addiction and threatened by violence, as you do the unborn. Their lives have worth too. As Christians we should be championing policies that reflect Christ’s vision for the world, that we love one another.

We should not use our faith as a political tool or a bludgeon. We should use it to extend mercy and grace to those around us. We could all use an extra dose of each these days.

World Series:

Kluber, Miller lead Indians to Game One shutout win

M.S. Basketball: Iola 8th Grade 25, Wellsville 11; Iola 7th Grade 17, Wellsville12

By RONALD BLUM The Associated Press

CLEVELAND (AP) — Corey Kluber and the Cleveland Indians are off to a pitch-perfect start in the World Series.

The Chicago Cubs, meanwhile, fell completely flat in their first appearance since 1945.

Kluber dominated into the seventh inning, Roberto Perez had four RBIs with a pair of home runs and the Indians beat the Cubs 6-0 in Tuesday night’s opener of a highly anticipated matchup between the teams with baseball’s longest championship droughts.

“It’s almost like you have that extra level of intensity,” said Kluber, who became the first Series pitcher to strike out eight batters in the first three innings.

AL Championship Series MVP Andrew Miller escaped a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the seventh and stranded runners at the corners the eighth, preserving a three-run lead and delighting the sellout crowd of 38,091 in Cleveland’s first-ever Series home opener.

“The atmosphere in the World Series is so great,” Miller said. “You can’t help but get caught up in it and enjoy it.”

The Indians pitched their fourth shutout in nine games this postseason. After stifling two dangerous lineups in Boston and Toronto during the AL playoffs, Cleveland shut down See MLB | Page B3

College Volleyball: Labette County C.C. 3, Allen C.C. 2

Red Devils drop another late-season heartbreaker The Allen Community College Red Devils seem to be snake-bitten lately in close matches.

After falling in five sets to Hesston College on Saturday, the Red Devils tried to right the ship at home against Labette County Community College, but unfortunately the tough luck continued for Allen.

Labette County was able to steal the first set out from under the Red Devils 30-28, but Allen was able to quickly respond.

The Red Devils grabbed victories in the second and third sets by margins of 2523 and 25-20.

On several opportunities, the Red Devils were even able to take control late in the fourth set to nearly wrap up the match on serve, but each time Labette fought back and eventually won the fourth set 31-29.

Allen again jumped in front in the fifth set by building a quick 4-1 lead in the first-to-15 set.

Labette County roared back with its strong service game and took a 6-4 lead with Janae Barnes serving.

Allen sophomore Joely Roe receives a ball during the fifth set of the Red Devils’ home loss on Tuesday night against Labette County Community College. REGISTER/JON DYKSTRA Allen quickly answered and tied the game at six.

Labette County rattled off three straight points, before Allen’s Caitlin McDougald cut the lead down to 9-7 with a big kill.

Labette’s Ashlynn Robbins put her team back in control with a three-point run serving and even though Allen fought back late, Labette was able to

take the match with a 15-11 fifth-set victory.

Allen sophomore Andi Dowell led the Allen attack with 17 kills in the match. Caitlin McDougald added 14 kills while Leah Hiebert notched 13.

Joely Roe had a team-high 38 digs and Sami Cloe ran the Red Devil offense with 28 assists and Adanna York added 22.

Tree man arrested PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — A man arrested for blocking traffic in Maine while dressed as an evergreen tree says the public display was intended to be performance art.

Asher Woodworth tells the Portland Press Herald his embodiment of a tree inching across a busy downtown Portland intersection was designed to reflect a contrast in the “energies of economy and efficiency and the energies of slowness and

magic.”

The 30-year-old apparently moved too slowly across the street on Monday. He was arrested for obstructing traffic when he failed to heed a warning by police officers. He was released on $60 bail.

Friend Hamilton Poe knew Woodworth at Bennington College in Vermont and says Woodworth can sometimes “get into trouble in funny ways but never in malicious ways.”

MLB: Cleveland grabs a 1-0 lead with a 6-0 blanking of Cubs Continued from B1

a hard-hitting Cubs team that scored 23 runs against the Dodgers in the final three games of the NLCS. Back in the Series for the first time since 1997, the Indians scored twice in the first off October ace Jon Lester.

Perez hit a fourth-inning solo shot and added a three-run drive in the eighth against Hector Rondon, becoming the first Cleveland player and the only No. 9 batter to homer twice in a Series game.

“Oh, I don’t think I’ve ever had a night like that,” Perez said.

He has three home runs in 27 at-bats during the postseason after hitting three in 153 during the regular season.

“I’ve come a long ways,” Perez said, Francisco Lindor added three hits as the Indians improved to 8-1 this postseason. Cleveland manager Terry Francona is 9-0 in the Series, including sweeps by his Boston teams in 2004 and ‘07.

The Game 1 winner has taken the title in the last six Series and 17 of 19.

“I have no concerns,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. “It’s the first game. I’m fine. We’re fine.”

Trevor Bauer, trying to come back from a sliced pinkie caused by a freak drone accident, starts Game 2 for the Indians on Wednesday night against Jake Arrieta. Because the forecast called for an increased chance of rain later in the evening, Ma-

The Indians’ Francisco Lindor, left, and Rajai Davis celebrate a 6-0 win against the Chicago Cubs in Game 1 of the World Series on Tuesday at Progressive Field in Cleveland. Phil Masturzo/Akron Beacon Journal/TNS jor League Baseball took the extraordinary step of moving up the first pitch by an hour to 7:08 p.m.

Kluber painted the corners, and 24 of his 59 strikes were called by plate umpire Larry Vanover. Twelve batters were caught looking, including seven Cubs.

“I think his ball was moving too much today,” said Perez, Cleveland’s catcher. “We got guys off balance the whole night.”

Kluber combined with Miller and Cody Allen to fan 15 — two shy of the Series record for a nineinning game — and Chicago went 2 for 15 with 10 strikeouts with runners on base.

With the Indians hoping for their first title since 1948 and the Cubs

seeking their first since 1908, Lester stumbled in the opening inning.

He entered 3-0 with a 0.43 ERA in three Series starts and got his first two outs on five pitches before Cleveland loaded the bases with two outs.

Jose Ramirez had a runscoring swinging bunt single and Brandon Guyer was hit by a pitch — he led the majors with 31 during the regular season.

“There is an importance on small ball, but you can’t try to hit a swinging bunt. That’s a little bit of good fortune,” Francona said.

“Then Guyer got hit, which he is really good at.”

Perez connected in the fourth for a 3-0 lead.

Kluber struck out nine in six innings and walked none.

Kyle Schwarber, making a surprise return in his first big league game since tearing knee ligaments on April 7, doubled off the right-field wall in the fourth — a drive kept in by a stiff wind on a 50-degree night. Kluber then got Javier Baez to fly out.

Zobrist’s leadoff double in the seventh finished Kluber, and Cleveland loaded the bases with no outs against Miller on Schwarber’s walk and Baez’s single. Pinch-hitter Willson Contreras flied to Rajai Davis in short center, and Davis threw home rather than double up Schwarber, who had strayed far off second.

Using his intimidating slider, Miller struck out Addison Russell and David Ross to escape the jam, stranded runners at the corners in the eighth by fanning Schwarber with his 46th pitch, his most in five years. Miller has thrown 20 scoreless innings in postseason play, including 13 2/3 innings

with 24 strikeouts this year.

Allen worked the ninth to close it out.

Ramirez also had three hits each for the Indians, who beat Toronto in the ALCS despite hitting just .168. Zobrist had three hit for the Cubs.

Lester gave up three runs, six hits and three walks in 5 2/3 innings. He was rattled by Vanover’s calls, barking at the umpire in the third, then stopping for a discussion at the inning’s end.

“I’m confident.

I know our guys are, too,” Schwarber said. “We put up good at-bats against those guys today. We just didn’t come up with a knock when we needed to.”

UP NEXT While Arrieta went 18-8 with a 3.10 ERA during the regular season, he struggled to a 5.01 ERA in his final four starts. He allowed four runs over five innings in Game 3 of the NLCS. Bauer lasted only two outs in his ALCS when his pinkie began bleeding.

“When you’re going against a guy like Kluber who’s locked in from pitch one, to give up two in the first, that makes it tough,” Lester said.

Teams that combined for 174 seasons of futility, America’s biggest droughts since the Great Plains’ Dust Bowl of the 1930s, captivated even many non-baseball fans.

On a night of civic pride, LeBron James and the NBA’s Cavaliers received their championship rings next door prior to their season opener, and Cleveland hosted a World Series opener for the first time.

The Cubs had not played in the Series since five weeks after Japan signed the Instrument of Surrender ending World War II. Kluber, whose win in the All-Star Game gave the AL home-field advantage in the Series, improved to 3-1 in the postseason and lowered his ERA to a sparkling 0.74.

He was pitching on six days’ rest, and his two-seam fastball darted through the strike zone.

Editor’s Note: As we go into the final round of picks for this season, Richard has made a late push for second place by finishing with 8-1 last week. Iola Recreational Department Director Jason Bauer had a tough week, but his pick of the Chiefs was able to salvage a winning week for him. This week an Iola coaching legend joins the pickers with Iola cross country coach Marv Smith. Smith is in his 50th year coaching at Iola and will surely impart some knowledge to our rag-tag prognosticators.

Iola seventh-grader Josie Plumlee rises above the Wellsville defense for a lay-up during Tuesday’s varsity game in Iola. REGISTER/JON DYKSTRA

Ponies: Murry, Plumlee spark 7th grade Continued from B1

gan to capitalize on the momentum. Jenna Miller hit a free throw for one of her team-high seven points to give Iola a lead.

A Gardner basket and free throws from Kelsie Finley and Sprague gave the Ponies all the momentum they could ever want with a 10-5 lead at the halftime intermission.

“They started to work as a team after the first quarter and did a great job on the offensive and defensive boards,” Iola coach Anthony Herrick said. “That happens through teamwork and hard play.”

The Ponies only continued to pile on the over-matched Eagles in the third quarter. Gardner scored a quick three points and Miller added four in the third quarter as Iola held the Eagles scoreless in the period and built the lead to 17-5.

The fourth quarter continued to be all-Ponies early with a couple of buckets from Olivia Kerr and one from Adrianne Reynolds to build the spread to 23-7.

After a couple of late Wellsville buckets, the final score settled at 25-11.

Miller overcame a poor shooting day from the field to still find other ways to score her teamhigh seven. She led the team in rebounding with nine and made three of four from the free throw line.

Gardner added six points and despite playing the point guard position and giving up at least a

couple of inches in height to every other player on the floor, she managed to finish second on the team with four rebounds.

“I am so proud of all the girls,” Herrick said.

“They all play with such heart, passion and class.”

Gardner also dealt with the Eagles’ pressure defense the entire game and did not commit a single turnover.

Sprague also had four rebounds and added five points.

7TH-GRADE VARSITY The seventh grade Ponies had a very similar game to their eighthgrade counterparts and won 17-12.

They fell behind early, but behind the strong play of point guard Josie Plumlee and forward Reece Murry, the team was able to rally.

After trailing 5-4 at the end of the first quarter, a Plumlee basket opened the scoring and gave Iola a lead they would not relinquish.

Jenna Curry added to the lead with a basket of her own and Chloe Sell closed the first half with a bucket to give Iola a 10-5 lead.

Murry got involved to begin the third and grew the Iola lead to 12-5.

Wellsville fought back however and the Iola lead was just 14-9 going into the fourth quarter.

Murry scored three quick points for Iola in the fourth period and that proved enough to give the Ponies the win, 17-12.

“They continued battling from last week

(against Anderson County) and dug down deep even though they were tired near the end of the game to get a great win,” Herrick said.

Murry finished with a team-high seven points and Curry added four.

Plumlee was a terror on defense with four steals.

She also led the team with seven rebounds.

8TH-GRADE JV The eighth-grade Ponies’ junior varsity squad also started slowly, but were able to rally and beat Wellsville, 21-12.

“They grabbed an impressive win by believing in each other and executing on offense and defense,” Herrick said.

Iola dug themselves a 6-3 deficit at the end of first quarter, but then leaned on their strong defense to spark the offense.

The Ponies shut the Eagles out in the second quarter.

A Zareona Pulley basket got the team within one of Wellsville and Olivia Kerr tied it up with a free throw moments later.

McKenna Orear scored three points to give the Ponies a lead and close out the first half.

Wellsville quickly answered to take the lead back at 10-9 early in the second half, but Iola closed the game on a 12-2 run highlighted by baskets from Kailey Schinstock.

Schinstock finished with a team-high eight points on four of seven shooting and she also added a pair of steals.

Orear had three points and Kerr, Lorie Carpenter, Pulley, Destiny Henry and Jada Cunningham each had two points.

Adrianne Reynolds had a team-high four steals.

7TH-GRADE JV The seventh-grade junior varsity Ponies dug themselves a 9-2 hole at halftime, before they roared back in the third quarter.

“Both junior varsity teams worked their tails off,” Herrick said. “While the seventh graders did not get a win, they played with huge hearts and never quit.”

Iola out-scored Wellsville 10-2 in the third quarter to take a 12-11 lead but ran out of gas in the fourth and lost the game 18-12.

Maci Miller and Logan Ulrich keyed the Iola resurgence with six points each in the game. Ulrich made all three of the shots she attempted in the game.

UP NEXT Iola has a week off until their next game against Santa Fe Trail next Tuesday.

They will host the Chargers with games beginning at 4 p.m.

Calcium supplements only for certain people Dear Dr. Roach: My doctor put me on Norvasc 10 mg to keep my blood pressure normal.

Since Norvasc is a calcium-channel-blocking medicine, can I still take my calcium and vitamin D-3 supplements? I was advised by my gynecologist that I should take calcium every day for my bones and D-3 by my general practitioner. The research I have done says that the intake of supplemental calcium from tablets will reduce the effectiveness of the channel-blocking amlodipine because my overall circulating calcium will be higher. Should I take the supplements? — I.H. Answer: The body has powerful mechanisms to keep the calcium level in the blood at a tightly regulated level. A small change in blood calcium leads to dramatic changes in physiology. For people who don’t take in enough calcium, one major tool the body has is to break down bone for the

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health large supply of calcium there. That’s not good for long-term bone health, which is why adequate calcium intake is recommended. That can be either from diet or from supplements, but since supplements increase the risk of kidney stones and may increase the risk of heart disease, dietary calcium is preferred. I recommend calcium supplements only for people who can’t get enough from their diet and who have or are at high risk for osteoporosis. Oral calcium, whether from diet or supplements, does not increase blood calcium levels, but it does reduce or reverse calcium flow out of bones.

Calcium-channel blockers, which are used for hypertension, heart

disease and a few other conditions (like Raynaud’s and for some people with migraine) affect the flow of calcium into muscle cells. For high blood pressure, this means relaxing the smooth muscle in blood vessels. They are capable of doing so at normal blood calcium levels, so oral calcium supplements do not significantly reduce their effectiveness.

Similarly, normal doses of vitamin D-3 (4,000 IU a day or less) do not significantly affect calcium levels, and may be taken with calcium-channel blockers.

Dear Dr. Roach: I just read your article on HPV vaccine, which is offered only up to age 26.

A few months ago, my husband (of many years) had a colonoscopy and they found warts in his rectum, which proved to be a cancer-causing type of HPV. Since he was active sexually before we were married and has had no sexual con-

tact with anyone but me since, his surgeon stated that it has been dormant since then. I realize that I cannot get the vaccine. I do not have a cervix, and had a recent Pap smear that was negative.

I am very concerned that I may get the virus.

Since his virus was dormant for so long, is there a chance that I also may have it and that it could flare up in the future?

Have you heard of other people who have had the virus stay dormant for that long? Are there some precautions I should be taking? — A.N. Answer: Unfortunately, HPV stays in the body forever, and people can remain potentially infectious the entire time. You are right that the vaccine is unlikely to help you, given that you have been exposed during your marriage.

Fortunately, you do not have a cervix, so cervical cancer is impossible (assuming you had a complete hysterectomy).

Ways to view the baby-gender juggle Dear Carolyn: We are expecting our first baby — a little girl! Just before the tell-all ultrasound, my mother-in-law expressed surprise that we would want to find out the gender and informed my husband that she does not want to know until the birth.

We have shared the good news with other people, and there are gender-specific items in the nursery and on our registry. She knows we know, but it’s still a secret for her, which she doesn’t think is a big deal.

However, I am stressed about “ruining” the surprise for her; my parents are, too. I also am sad she did not get to share in our excitement about finding out the gender halfway through the pregnancy, and I feel like we are being judged for already making bad parenting decisions — that finding out the gender was somehow “wrong.”

Tell Me About It Carolyn Hax My husband thinks I am making a big deal out of nothing, and I should just ignore her. Should I just bite my tongue and respect her wishes, or should I talk to her about this? — Expecting in the Mid-Atlantic You don’t just have a baby coming (congrats!); you’re also getting a new stage in your relationship with your mother-in-law.

To get things off to a sustainable start, try viewing the gender juggle from the following perch: — You can have different approaches without judging each other.

— If she is judging you, then that’s her problem, since it will gain her nothing (seriously

— is there any practical use for smugness?) while compromising her chance at a close relationship with you, her son and her granddaughter.

— You can’t make her respect your choices, but you can set the tone by respecting hers. Yes, she “didn’t get to share” in this particular excitement, but there will be others. Don’t dwell.

— You also can’t bear responsibility for her choices beyond respecting them. That means you can remind yourself to watch what you say, but you can’t blame yourself if someone slips or brandishes something pink.

— When in doubt on any of the above, act as if adults are actually adults.

Bite your tongue, sure, but also treat the possibility of “ruining” her surprise as a mild bummer, not an irreparable tear in the family tapestry.

This isn’t just for babygender surprises; swap in

just about any other issue and it still works.

If you think it would help in this case to talk to her, then do, based on the above principles. Maybe, “We will all do our best not to ruin your surprise, though I obviously can’t promise anything. That’s OK, right? The baby’s health is all that matters?”
