Funston gets his due

By BOB JOHNSON The Iola Register

Maj. Gen. Lee Tafanelli, formerly with Iola’s 891st Engineer Battalion and now Kansas adjutant general, spoke prior to wreath-laying at Gen. Frederick Funston’s statue near his boyhood museum Saturday. Funston’s granddaughter, Martine Funston, laid a family wreath. The event celebrated the 150th anniversary of Gen. Funston’s birth, on Nov. 9, 1865. REGISTER/BOB JOHNSON

Maj. Gen. Lee Tafanelli was born in Frontenac, and grew up in the Little Balkans — the name variously given to that part of southeast Kansas where Europeans flocked more than a century ago to extract ore from strip mines.

Since then he has accomplished much militarily, to the point today Gen. Tafanelli is adjutant general of Kansas.

“As a southeast Kansas boy who grew up hearing stories about the incredible man (Gen. Frederick Funston) we celebrate today, this is a great honor for me,” Tafanelli said Saturday morning at a downtown wreath-laying ceremony.

A goodly crowd attending a 9:30 a.m. event heard Tafanelli recall major events in

Funston’s life, before attention turned to wreaths being laid at the base of a life-sized statue of Funston, who a century ago was a national hero several times over. The commemoration was for his 150th birthday anniversary — officially Nov. 9.

Tafanelli chronicled Funston’s achievements without an ounce of syrup — none was needed — and it read as chapter after chapter of American history: A Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, Funston was credited with saving San Francisco, after a devastating earthquake killed 300 and left 300,000 homeless; fought with Cuban rebels against Spain; heroically captured the Filipino insurrection leader, Emilio See FUNSTON | Page A4

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) — Insisting that Americans deserve better, President Barack Obama chided Republicans Mike Huckabee, Donald Trump and Ted Cruz today for a series of campaign-trail attacks that he said would be “ridiculous if it weren’t so sad.”

In some of his first commentary on the budding race to replace him, Obama accused the candidates of violating a time-honored American tradition of not playing “fast and loose” on topics of grave concern like foreign policy.

A group of 4-H’ers hopes to make chicken salad out of chicken ... well, feathers.

Sparked by an ongoing avian influenza epidemic in the Midwest, the Kansas Department of Agriculture announced in June a ban on the exhibition of all poultry-related shows and events through the end of the year. The ban includes all types of activities where birds from different flocks are co-mingled — such as the Allen County Fair.

“It’s certainly unfortunate for our poultry exhibitors,”

7 indicted Galena officials to be tried at same time COLUMBUS, Kan. (AP) — A judge has ruled that Galena’s mayor and six other city officials accused of misusing public funds will be tried together.

Mayor Dale Oglesby, five city council members and a former council member were indicted in June by a grand jury after the council authorized paying $100,000 in city money to settle a private lawsuit against Oglesby’s business partner.

District Court Judge A.J. Wachter ruled Friday the officials will not receive separate trials to avoid inconsistent verdicts. The trial was scheduled for Jan. 11.

The Joplin Globe reports that Galena City Attorney Kevin Cure says he expects the charges to be dismissed.

The grand jury was called after a petition campaign by citizens angered by plans by Oglesby’s business partner to build a landfill in Galena.

Many KS Turnpike accident hotspots near Lawrence WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Six of the nine most accident-prone spots along the Kansas Turnpike are in the Lawrence area, according to a study compiled for the Kansas Turnpike Authority.

Two of the other accident hotspots along the 236-mile turnpike were in the I-70 stretch approaching Kansas City, according to the 2010 Long-Term Needs Study.

The K-7 interchange at the Bonner Springs exit approaching Kansas City had the most accidents, with 43, according to the report. Mile Marker 192 approaching Lawrence had 24 accidents, and Mile Marker 194, also approaching Lawrence, recorded 23 accidents during the period studied.

The turnpike’s south Wichita interchange is another accident hotspot in the turnpike

system, coming in at No. 9 with 19 accidents in 2008, The Wichita Eagle reported.

“These high accident areas are located along the more heavily traveled stretches of the Turnpike, particularly along I-70 between Topeka and Kansas City,” the report says.

The report, which contains the most recently available data, showed that most accidents resulted from driver error. The next long-term study is due this fall, five years ahead of schedule.

The study found that in an eight-year span, fatal accidents on average accounted for 0.5 percent of total accidents, and that the ratio of fatal accidents to total accidents is “significantly lower on the Kansas Turnpike as compared to rural 4-lane highways in the state.”

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Restricting cell phone use here right thing to do This evening Iola council members will consider placing restraints on use of cell phones and other electronic gadgets for people driving vehicles, which makes exceedingly good sense, and should be enacted.

Cell phones are of marvelous advantage. They give the user immediate access to a multitude of resources — including chats with friends — most anywhere and most anytime.

They are particularly useful whenever help is needed, medical or otherwise, and for social or businesses calls. Truth be, they are next to indispensable for most folks.

That being said, putting limits on when to engage in conversation should be a foregone conclusion.

Driving a vehicle is a fulltime job. Any distraction, even at in-town speeds, can lead to an accident and injury. At highway speeds careful attention given to driving is even more critical.

Any number of people, when so prompted by personal experiences, can give numerous accounts of when they’ve come close to a mishap because another driver was focused more on conversation than on the task at hand, driving.

Hardly any conversation can’t be put off to a more sensible time, or if indeed an emergency the call can be completed by pulling to the side of the road.

Iola council members should view favorably making the city’s streets safer.

Funston belongs in the classroom Perhaps the most understated study of history in Kansas — and Iola — is the amazing career of Gen. Frederick Funston.

His 150th birthday was celebrated a few months early on Saturday.

Funston came from Ohio with his family as a child, grew up north of Iola and went on to acclaim as an adventurer and military man.

It is not hyperbole to characterize his accomplishments as legendary.

No doubt he is mentioned in American history classes, how could he not be. However, it would be commendable — and appropriate — on the part of Iola schools, including Allen Community College, to award Gen. Funston a spe-

cial place in the classroom.

His exploits and influence on American history from the 1890s to his death at age 51 in 1917 would make an action-packed and interesting study of several weeks, even if touching sparingly at times on all he accomplished. Iola’s Clyde Toland, attorney by vocation and as much an expert on local history as anyone, could provide numerous lectures on Funston’s life, and do so in a manner that would be spellbinding.

Knowing where we came from is just as important as having an idea of where we’re headed, and when that can be tied to a local figure as prominent as Funston, all the better.

21 — Robbie Atkins, a Kansas Highway Patrol sergeant and an Iolan, was named Kansas Law Officer of the Year by the Kansas Forty et Eight, an independent military veterans organization known as the “fun and honor” society of the American Legion. Atkins has been a member of the Highway Patrol since 1972 and has been stationed in Iola since 1981. *****

The Iola True Value Store, formerly OTASCO, will close in about two months, owners Jim and Nancy Mechling have announced. They have operated the store for the past 10 years. “We just don’t want to do it anymore,” Mrs. Mechling told the Register.

25 — For the third time in the past five years the Kansas open chess tournament will be held in Iola. The success of the 1987 tournament staged by Gary McIntosh, a member of the Kansas Chess Association and the Iola Jaycees, convinced the association to ask if Iola would be willing to host the tournament this weekend.

president of the board of directors of the Association of Community Arts Agencies of Kansas at the organization’s annual meeting earlier this month in Salina. *****

Iola’s American Legion baseball squad won the class AA Zone tournament in Garnett Monday night with a 4-2 victory over the Fort Scott team. Iola went unscathed through the tournament, defeating Osawatomie Saturday and Garnett Sunday. The victory sends the Iola Indians to the state tournament at Norton, Aug. 5-8, for the first time since 1983.

Sunflowers reaching more than 10 feet tall boldly let motorists know that Smith is a gardener. Smith’s largeheaded sunflowers droop when they are ready to be harvested and Smith dries and shells the seeds by hand.

Smith also has a bountiful garden of vegetables, marigolds and a variety of other colorful flowers.

The deceit in Walker’s campaign SAN DIEGO — “First off,” Scott Walker proclaimed, “we took on the unions, and we won. We won!”

Taking on the unions is usually first off for Walker, the Wisconsin governor and Republican presidential candidate. It is the very rationale for his candidacy. And on Thursday, he took a detour from the campaign trail to appear here before the annual meeting of the conservative American Legislative Exchange Council, a group of state legislators dedicated in large part to defeating unions.

ALEC, which inspired many of Walker’s anti-labor efforts in Wisconsin, drew several hundred union protesters as legislators arrived here this week for its annual conference — and this delighted Walker.

“I understand you had a few protesters yesterday,” he told the conservative legislators.

“For us, that’s just getting warmed up. That’s nothing.

We got 100,000 protesters.”

Walker then went on to celebrate his triumphs over the demonstrators who objected to his dismantling of Wisconsin’s public-sector unions, portraying the pro-union forces as violent thugs. “Those big government interests — they believe they can win by intimidating elected officials,” he said. “There were amazing things they did to try to intimidate us. The good news is we didn’t back down. We remembered the reason we were elected was not to serve the few in our state capitol, but to serve the masses.”

This is the essence of Walker’s appeal — and why he is so dangerous. He is not as outrageous as Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, but his technique of scapegoating unions for the nation’s ills is no less demagogic. Sixty-five years ago, another man from Wisconsin made himself a national reputation by frightening the country about the menace of communists, though the actual danger they represented was negligible. Scott

Dana Milbank Washington Post Writers Group

By scapegoating toothless trade unions as powerful and malign interests, Walker enlists working people in his cause of aiding the rich and the strong.

Walker is not Joe McCarthy, but his technique is similar: He suggests that the nation’s ills can be cured by fighting labor unions (foremost among the “big government special interests” hurting America), even though unions represent just 11 percent of the American workforce and have been at a low ebb.

Earlier this year, Walker likened the union protesters in Madison, Wis., to the murderous Islamic State: “If I can take on 100,000 protesters, I can do the same across the world.” Before that, he described public-sector union members as the “haves” taking advantage of the “havenots” — the taxpayers.

He denounced the protests against his efforts to undo the unions as “thuggery.”

He described collective bargaining as a “corrupt system” and diagnosed union leaders as having a “sense of entitlement.” After beating public-sector unions and surviving recall, Walker this year signed anti-union right-to-work legislation. He has said he doesn’t think the minimum wage serves a purpose, and he has opposed prevailing-wage and living-wage requirements.

The bulk of Walker’s stump speech to the Koch-brothersfinanced ALEC was about how his “big, bold reforms took the power out of the hands of big government special interests” — namely, unions. Left unmentioned: how his big, bold reforms produced only half the number of jobs he promised, and resulted in delayed debt payments and deep cuts to education to overcome a budget deficit.

Walker, describing the bargain shopping he does

at Kohl’s department store, said he would do the same with taxes. Arguing that “few people could afford” high tax rates, he proposed that “we can lower the rates, broaden the base, and increase the value of people participating in our economy. Years ago, a plan like that worked pretty well. ...

We called it the Laffer Curve back then. Today, I call it the Kohl’s curve.”

It was a zany analogy.

Kohl’s offers discounted merchandise for middle- and lowincome consumers. The Laffer Curve, as the basis for supplyside economics, meant huge tax breaks for the rich that never trickled down.

But deception is the demagogue’s tool. Walker spoke Thursday about “the death threats not just against me and my family but against our lawmakers,” and about the nails put in the driveway of one lawmaker to puncture his tires. Such behavior is beyond the pale — though hardly unique to Walker’s opponents.

And some of Walker’s claims — including the alleged threat to “gut” his wife “like a deer” and of protesters “beating” and “rocking” a car he was in — could not be substantiated by independent authorities.

Such deception, however, is only in the service of the larger deceit at the core of his candidacy: By scapegoating toothless trade unions as powerful and malign interests, he enlists working people in his cause of aiding the rich and the strong.

The hospital then paid a lot of its own way. With a large herd of dairy cows, orchard, gardens and even a “broom factory” that sold brooms.

A lot of the janitor work was done by patients.

The hospital had movies, dances, bingo in the big auditorium in the main building, Adair. I think there was a woman’s ward for those needing time to heal.

The “Receiving Building” was where I stayed. There were two floors. The top was for patients almost ready to

go home, who had freedom to come and go.

I never saw much violence until they began bringing in older, disturbed teenagers.

One tried to kill me by ramming my head into a brick wall. The nurse called on Jake, a big former wrestler, and a hospital aide, who pulled the thug off me, or I wouldn’t be writing this letter today!

Bob Johnson is right when he says we don’t always get what we want in life!

Jim Brownrigg, Iola, Kan.

To the Forum Dear editor,

After reading the sad state of Osawatomie State Hospital in your paper, I am glad I received the help I needed in the mid-1950s.

It was more the effect of a crushing blow from the top of the pickup cab as it crashed over than from mental illness, but I needed help to recover nonetheless.

I’d just gotten a flat-top haircut that summer. There was no cushion, as pickups only had a thin layer of cardboard in the ceiling, and no seat belts.

Obama: ‘The American people deserve better’ Continued from A1

And he said that regardless of which party wins the White House, he wants to ensure he’s turning over the keys to someone capable of seriousness and honesty.

“We have robust debates, we look at the facts,” Obama said during a news conference in Ethiopia. “We just don’t fling out ad hominem attacks like that because it doesn’t help inform the American people.”

Obama has largely avoided wading into the increasingly turbulent debate over who should be the next president.

But during a news conference with Ethiopia’s prime minister, Obama was asked about criticism from Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor, and seemed eager to add his take.

A day earlier, Huckabee said Obama was so naive about Iran that he agreed to a nuclear deal that would “take the Israelis and basically march them to the door of the oven,” a reference to crematoria in Nazi concentration camps during the Holocaust.

Obama suggested the tough rhetoric was a ploy

by Huckabee to “get atten-

tion” or to push Trump out of the headlines.

“It’s not the kind of leadership that’s needed for America right now,” he said.

Huckabee quickly dismissed the presidential critique, arguing that what was “ridiculous and sad” was that Obama wasn’t taking Iran’s threats to destroy Israel seriously.

“I will stand with our ally Israel to prevent the terrorists in Tehran from achieving their own stated goal of another Holocaust,” Huckabee said in a statement his campaign emailed to

reporters.

Trump, whose poll numbers are on the rise, has drawn consternation from the Republican Party over provocative comments he’s made about immigrants and his GOP rivals, which some Republicans say could hurt the party’s prospects in 2016.

Obama also singled out Cruz, the Texas senator, for suggesting in the wake of the nuclear deal that Obama — not Iran — is the leading state sponsor of terrorism.

“These are leaders in the Republican Party,” Obama said incredu-

lously. He warned it was creating a culture that would stifle good politics and policies in the U.S. “The American people deserve better. Certainly presidential debates deserve better.”

Although Obama reserved his toughest rebuke for Republicans, he said both parties needed to approach the campaign with decorum. So far, the Democrats competing for the nomination have mostly avoided the type of caustic attacks that have become commonplace in the GOP primary more than a year out from Election Day.

Funston: Iola celebrates ‘the man who saved San Franciso’ Continued from A1

Aguinaldo, to essentially close that chapter of U.S. warfare; explored Death Valley and, including two years by himself, the Yukon River; and was the commander of WWII generals Douglas MacArthur, George Patton and Dwight Eisenhower.

Tafanelli focused on part of Funston’s life.

Emilio Aguinaldo was a thorn in U.S. efforts to quell the Filipino insurgency in the afterglow of the Spanish-American war, he said, “a brilliant rebel leader ... (Aguinaldo) was simply impossible to catch in the cover of the thick Philippine jungle ... senior (U.S.) leaders honestly thought that no man could catch him.”

After intercepting secret messages, which some historians think came from a double agent, Funston learned of his whereabouts and devised a “dangerous plan and sent it to his boss, Gen. Arthur MacArthur (father of Douglas).”

MacArthur deemed it “a desperate undertaking. I fear that I shall never see you again.”

Funston posed as a prisoner and disguised 90 loyal Filipinos as rebels. “Funston and his team fought through 100 torturous miles of dense jungle” to Aguinaldo’s headquarters, where a forged document claimed the loyalists were bring-

camps, excellent ration systems and a plan for recovery.”

In conclusion, Tafanelli urged his listeners to remember Funston, and “... when you drive past this statue, take a moment and remember the life of this great man and his incredible tenacity.

Remember what he can teach all of us about a life of service, a life that matters and a life well lived.”

Iola attorney Clyde Toland had a prominent role in Gen. Frederick Funston’s 150th birthday anniversary Saturday — as well he should, having done more than anyone else in having Funston’s boyhood home moved to Iola and refitted as a museum. Toland also has been active for years in keeping Funston’s name and accomplishments at the forefront locally.

In 1906, Funston was cast in another role that propelled him into the national spotlight. After a massive earthquake leveled 80 percent of San Francisco and set ablaze standing building and rubble, Funston, com-

manding the Department of California, acted quickly and decisively to save the city, without authorization from higher authority. “... just four days after the initial quake, Funston’s quick thinking and unorthodox strategy contained the vast fire, keeping it from spreading,” Tafanelli related. “He set up efficient local refugee

AFTER LUNCH, several speakers, including Iola attorney and local historian Clyde Toland, spoke at the Gen. Frederick Funston Memorial Armory on North State Street.

Tom Rives, deputy director and archivist of the Eisenhower Presidential Library in Abilene, touched on how the Philippines helped shape Eisenhower’s military career. He was charged in the 1930s with building a national Filipino army, which led him to understand only a passive defense system was possible for the chain of islands that make up the country — a bird that came home to roost in World War II. But the exercise did give him a firm grasp of the complexities of putting together ground and air forces from scratch.

Lt. Col. (Ret.) Mark Calhoun, from Ft. Leavenworth and author of a book on Lt. Gen. Lesley McNair, told how as a

logistics and ordinance expert he served as Funston’s supply officer during the Mexican-American conflict, shortly after McNair’s 1904 graduation from West Point. McNair died during the WWII Normandy Invasion in 1944.

Charles Hewitt, a historian from St. Louis, delved into fascinating details of Funston’s capture of Aguinaldo, whom he described as “not a nobody, but a somebody in the Philippines.” That made his capture significant and highly important to U.S. efforts to win the minds and bodies of the native population he said.

THE DAY’S capstone was a panel discussion, moderated by Bob Hawk, who grew up a few miles from Funston’s home north of Iola, and with comments from Toland and Jarrett Robinson, a Tennesseean who for 25 years has mined the story of Funston. Robinson’s personal Funston trove has been accumulated from visits to the National Archives, many other public sources and personal memorabilia and letters of families with a connection to the general.

Toland reviewed in detail Funston’s arrival and early years in Allen County, including attending Maple Grove School half a mile south of his home north of Iola and

said Southwind Extension Agent Carla Nemecek. “But it’s also a good opportunity for us to provide education, not only to our youth, but the general public.”

Avian influenza — also referred to as bird flu — is a rapidly spreading viral disease that can affect several bird species.

The disease is considered highly contagious.

It exists naturally in many wild birds, and can be transmitted by contact with infected animals or by ingesting infected food or water. Although extremely rare, humans and other animals also can be vulnerable, according to KSDA. No effective treatment for avian flu has been

found. Infected animals must be euthanized and disposed of properly to prevent the disease from spreading.

While vaccines are available, they are not commonly used because no vaccine covers all 15 strains of the disease.

Thus, the best way to combat avian influenza is through prevention, KSDA said.

THE PROBLEM does not yet appear to be waning, which means the poultry bans may be extended into 2016 and beyond, Nemecek said.

Tom Vilsac, United States Department of Agriculture Secretary, said Wednesday the government is gearing up to deal with as many as 500 incidents of avian flu

Allen County isn’t the only event affected. Similar bans have shuttered poultry shows at other county fairs across the state.

The Kansas State Fair also will not have poultry exhibits when it opens in September.

He also dove headlong into Funston’s days exploring Death Valley and the Yukon under auspices of the U.S. Department of Agriculture — an aside being when he and his horse toppled off a narrow mountain path in Death Valley Funston lived by grabbing a tree limb, his horse, lacking prehensile abilities, tumbled to its death.

His 3,500-mile journey of exploration alone in the Yukon was remarkable to say the very least, Toland observed.

He also discussed Funston’s failed effort with a 5,000 acre coffee plantation in Mexico; how he was a filibuster (name given Americans fighting for Cuba against Spain); and how he lost 19 horses while posing as a journalist but fighting for Cuba — two horses were shot from under Funston.

Robinson illuminated Funston’s border-war involvement — long before illegal immigration created another — and how he commanded 150,000 National Guard troops.

A seldom-reported phase of Funston’s life occurred in 1913 when he went to Hawaii to help develop coastal defenses, Robinson said, and came home to be among those prominent in communicating Hawaii’s vulnerability, stoked by fears of a Japanese invasion after its successes over Russia.

The Iola American Legion AA baseball team will advance to the Kansas state tournament after winning its zone tournament on Saturday. REGISTER/JONATHAN CZUPRYN

Iola American Legion advances to state

By JONATHAN CZUPRYN The Iola Register

FORT SCOTT — The Iola Indians hadn’t lost two games in a row this season, and they weren’t about to start when the games mattered the most.

After surviving a scare Friday in its loss to Silver Lake, Iola rebounded to win its next three contests in the zone tournament to earn a spot in the Kansas state tournament.

“You know I expected this team to do well,” said Roland Weir, the Iola’s head coach. “I think they wanted it this year to prove last year was a fluke.”

After blowing out Fort Scott 20-3 in the opening round of the zone tournament, the No. 1 seeded Indians struggled to regain their offensive firepower Friday against Silver Lake,

which was the tournament’s No. 2 seed.

Silver Lake defeated Iola, handing Weir’s team its first loss since late June when it fell in the last round of the Adam LaRoche Tournament to Fort Scott. “(The players) all kind of disappeared,” Weir said. “I hope they were embarrassed.”

Because the zone tournament was fitted to be doubleelimination style, Iola was still alive after its loss.

But another defeat would send the Indians packing and end their largely successful year on a sour note, just like last season’s team when it was shockingly eliminated in the zone tournament.

Iola’s next matchup came later Friday night after Fort Scott and Osawatomie battled

to determine who would face the Indians in the semi-final.

Osawatomie won, setting up its win-or-go-home matchup with Iola.

Osawatomie went home.

Iola pressed forward, winning 13-5.

“It wasn’t a pretty game” Weir said. “We took advantage of mistakes.”

Despite the clutch victory to avoid elimination, Iola was then faced with the challenge of defeating Silver Lake in not just one, but two games on Saturday.

Because Silver Lake had not lost in the double-elimination tournament, it could afford to drop the first matchup as long as it took care of business in the second.

But Iola never gave Silver Lake the chance.

The Indians took both games, the first 8-0 and the second 11-4, to capture its fourth zone tournament in the past five years.

Iola will head to Colby to face the host team in its firstround matchup Wednesday night at 8.

Although Iola had captured a momentous win and a clutch comeback in the tournament to achieve its goal of returning to state, the celebration seemed more matter-of-fact than jubilant.

There was no dog-pile on the mound or caps thrown in the air.

The players simply exchanged handshakes and posed with the trophy.

“With (Saturday’s) weather, we were all just drained,” Weir said. “It was just drain-

ing mentally and physically.”

The back-to-back games were played from 10 a.m. to about 2 p.m., when the temperature topped out at 98 degrees.

But it felt more like 105.

So even when the players doused their coach with the traditional water bucket dump, it seemed more practical than anything.

Now the Indians turn their attention to Colby. The team will make the six-hour trek Tuesday night to get some rest before its game Wednesday.

Weir, as always, said he has confidence in his players to get done what they know they need to get done.

“The message isn’t going to change,” Weir said. “I’m not going out there overconfident, but I know these kids will respond.”

Royals trade for Cueto KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals acquired Johnny Cueto in a trade with Cincinnati on Sunday, sending three prospects to the Reds for a legitimate ace for the front of their beleaguered rotation.

Kansas City has the best record in the American League after it lost to San Francisco in Game 7 of Johnny Cueto the World Series last October. But Yordano Ventura has underperformed this year and Jason Vargas will miss the rest of the season after he injured his elbow last week — increasing the need for pitching help.

The Royals last won the title in 1985, and the trade was greeted with a loud ovation when it was announced during the third inning of Kansas City’s home game against Houston on Sunday afternoon.

“I’m excited about my next chapter,” Cueto said with Reds catcher Brayan Pena serving as his translator. “I know they play baseball very good. I’m excited because I know it’s going to be good for my career and

good for the team.”

Cueto, who is eligible for free agency after the season, had spent his entire career with Cincinnati. But the fourth-place Reds are looking to the future and could trade several more significant pieces before Friday’s non-waiver deadline, including right-hander Mike Leake and All-Star closer Aroldis Chapman.

Cincinnati got minor league left-handers Brandon Finnegan, John Lamb and Cody Reed in the trade for Cueto, who was one of the top starters on the market.

The Reds also are sending money to the Royals to help pay Cueto’s remaining salary for the year.

“There is a lot interest in Johnny and we felt that this was the best value we could get,” Reds general manager Walt Jocketty said. “Johnny is going to a great situation there. He has people that he’ll know. He’s on a team that has a chance to go to the World Series.”

Finnegan and Lamb were assigned to Triple-A Louisville, and Reed went to Double-A Pensacola.

Finnegan was selected by the Royals in the first round of last year’s draft. He made seven playoff appearances in 2014, but has split time beSee CUETO | Page B4

Royals celebrate Cueto deal with 5-1 win KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — This was one nice day for Kansas City’s rotation.

The Royals traded for Johnny Cueto, and then used Yordano Ventura’s seven sharp innings to beat Dallas Keuchel and the Houston Astros 5-1 on Sunday.

“I wanted to see the old Ventura out there and we saw it,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “That’s good for us and bad for everybody else.”

Ventura (5-7) allowed one run and six hits in just his second win in his last seven starts. The right-hander, who won 14 games last year, was

demoted to Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday and then recalled the next day after the Royals learned left-hander Jason Vargas would miss the rest of the year with an elbow injury.

“My confidence is a lot better after today,” Ventura said through a translator. “I feel I pitched similar to last year. I was getting in a rhythm.”

The Royals announced during the game they had acquired Cueto from Cincinnati for minor league lefthanders Brandon Finnegan, John Lamb and Cody Reed, drawing a big cheer at Kauffman Stadium.

Cueto was one of the top starters on the market. He won 20 games last season and is 7-6 with a 2.62 ERA in 19 starts this year.

“I’m excited about my next chapter,” Cueto said in Colorado, with Reds catcher Brayan Pena serving as his translator. “I know they play baseball very good. I’m excited because I know it’s going to be good for my career and good for the team.”

KU students help overturn conviction LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — University of Kansas law students helped a woman win an appeal of her conviction in the murder of a Topeka homeless advocate.

The university law school’s Project for Innocence and Post-Conviction Remedies filed the appeal on Kimberly Sharp’s behalf and presented oral arguments in March before the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver. The appeals panel ruled this month that Sharp was unconstitutionally convicted in the 2006 slaying of 38-year-old David Owen.

The decision sent Sharp’s case back to Shawnee County District Court for a second trial.

In this type of federal case involving constitutional claims, it’s nearly impossible to win, said Jean Phillips, Project for Innocence director.

As in all Innocence Project cases, law students do the work under her supervision.

Sharp and two men were convicted of firstdegree murder in Owen’s death. A fourth person was convicted of involuntary manslaughter. Owen, a homeless advocate, was at a homeless camp when he got into a confrontation and was dragged into the woods and tied to a tree, where his body was later found.

The brief sought to prove that Sharp’s rights were violated when the trial court admitted statements she made to police that were not voluntary.

The federal appeals court agreed in its unanimous decision that Sharp’s confession was involuntary and should not have been admitted at trial.

Calcium sources differ, needs remain the same Dear Dr. Roach: I am a 64-year-old woman with a thin frame who was recently diagnosed with osteoporosis. In the past 10 years, my bone density has declined despite regular exercise, a diet high in dairy products and taking calcium carbonate supplements. My doctor prescribed Forteo injections for one year to hopefully improve my bone density, and then transitioned me to Prolia.

From what I’ve read, calcium carbonate supplements are not easily absorbed and did little to preserve my bone density.

I now take a plant-sourced

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health calcium supplement (from algae lithothamnion calcareous and corallioides) that claims to be more “bioavailable” than calcium carbonate. Is algae-sourced calcium better than more-traditional calcium supplements?

I have found no studies that address this, and I want to take the calcium supplement most likely to improve bone density.

— C.H.

Answer: Although calcium supplements by themselves do little to prevent osteoporosis, for men and women taking medication for osteoporosis, the body needs calcium to put into the bones.

The ideal source is from the diet (supplements increase kidney stone risk and may increase calcium in arteries), but it can be difficult to get enough calcium from diet, especially if you don’t like or don’t want to ingest dairy products. Hence, many people rely on supplements.

Calcium carbonate is the cheapest and most

frequently taken supplement, but it is not particularly well-absorbed.

It needs to be taken with food to be absorbed well at all. Calcium citrate is better absorbed and better tolerated than calcium carbonate. It is what I usually recommend for people who take supplements and who don’t tolerate calcium carbonate.

Algal calcium has a different crystal structure from calcium carbonate. Calcium is absorbed better when it’s taken in smaller amounts, so I would say it is important to space out supplement use.

Cueto: bolsters top of starting rotation Continued from B1

between Triple-A Omaha and Kansas City this year.

The 25-year-old Lamb, a fifth-round pick in 2008, is 9-1 with a 2.67 ERA in 17 starts for Omaha.

Cueto, 29, won 20 games last season and is 7-6 with a 2.62 ERA in 19 starts this year.

He pitched eight scoreless innings in Cincinnati’s 5-2 victory at Colorado on Saturday night.

The right-hander made his major league debut with Cincinnati in 2008 and is 9263 with a 3.21 ERA in eight seasons.

“It’s a very emotional time for me,” Cueto said.

“But I understand it’s part of the game and I’m just excited about my next step.”

The deal for Cueto is indicative of the new reality for Kansas City, which used to trade away its top players for prospects at the deadline.

Not so much right now, and the Royals are trying to take full advantage of their window for contention.

Several top young players, such as first baseman Eric Hosmer and All-Star

third baseman Mike Moustakas, are eligible for arbitration and becoming more expensive by the year.

While Royals owner David Glass has been willing to increase their payroll to franchise-record levels, Kansas City may have only a couple of years to make another run at a title before finances force them into a rebuilding mode.

Royals general manager Dayton Moore is not thinking about Cueto’s future — now.

“We acquired Johnny Cueto to help us compete and win the division and hopefully

get back to the playoffs and win a World Series,” he said. “That’s where our focus is.”

The deal also reunites Edinson Volquez and Cueto after the pitchers spent four years together in Cincinnati.

The close friends are from the Dominican Republic, and Volquez, who signed a $20 million, two-year deal with the Royals this past offseason, served as a mentor to Cueto when he broke into the big leagues in 2008.

They have even spoken of their desire to play together once again.

Special to The Iola Register

Iola American Legion baseball team holds raffle The Iola American Legion baseball team held a raffle Sunday night and two winners were randomly selected from the drum of tickets.

Austin Sigg won the first drawing, which was for the cash reward.

Scott Ellis won the

second drawing, which was for two Kansas City Royals tickets on Aug. 8, when they will face the Chicago White Sox. Ellis will also receive autographed baseballs from Adam LaRoche, Chris Sale and Jose Abreu.

LaRoche grew up playing American Legion baseball for Fort Scott and recently opened a new baseball complex.

Although the raffle has ended, fans of the Iola Indians are still encouraged to donate to the team.

The Indians will begin their trip to Colby for the state tournament on Tuesday night.

If you are interested in donating, please contact head coach Roland Weir or American Legion member Dick Perkins.

Royals: set to start 10-game road trip tagged for a season-high 10 hits in 6 2/3 innings.

He also allowed five runs, matching a season high.

The Royals got off to a fast start, scoring four times in the first inning.

Keuchel allowed a total of four first-inning runs in his first 20 starts of the year.

Kansas City opened with three straight singles to load the bases. After consecutive grounders led to a pair of forceouts at home, Omar Infante hit a tworun single and Cheslor Cuthbert doubled home two more runs.

Cuthbert has hit in all five of his games in the majors.

“I really didn’t feel like the bases were loaded, just based on some of the contact that was being made,” Keuchel said.

“I felt like there were only a few hard hits all day. That’s just the way it goes sometimes. You know as a ground-ball pitcher they’re going to find holes. I feel like they were finding every hole in the first inning, but it’s my job to kind of shore up some things and sure enough, I did.

It’s one of those days I’d like to have the first inning back, but I battled.”

Lorenzo Cain added a two-out drive in the second for his 11th homer.

He had two hits after going 3 for 21 in his previous five games.

“I told Dallas on the mound in the seventh, to get us into the seventh the way he did showed a lot of perseverance,” Astros manager A.J. Hinch said.

“I think it’s easy when you get singled to death, so to speak, it’s easy to

The Royals have won five straight day games and are 10-1 in their past 11 afternoon encounters.

TRAINER’S ROOM

Astros: INF Jed Lowrie (right thumb ligament tear) is 2 for 7 in three games with Double-A Corpus Christi.

“He hasn’t fielded a ground ball yet in rehab, which I’m very frustrated with,” Hinch said.

After having Sunday off, Lowrie will play Monday and Tuesday and then be re-evaluated.

Royals: LF Alex Gordon (left groin strain) is throwing and hopes to take swings off the tee this week.

“Baby steps,” Gordon said.

It’s not too often that a driver pulls onto The Hummer High Banks and totally dominates as tough a feature race as USRA Modifieds.

Yet, that’s exactly what transpired on Friday as Matt Johnson came to Humboldt from the small town of Archie, Missouri, and put on an absolute smooth driving masterpiece in winning both heat and feature.

Johnson selected the high side of Humboldt Speedway’s ultra smooth dirt surface, the groove where many fear to tread due to it’s proximity to the concrete wall, and set sail. John Allen battled his way through stiff competition to claim second, while Chase Domer took third, Al Purkey fourth, and Tad Davis fifth.

Perhaps Johnson had observed Tyler Kidwell use the same real estate to dominate the B-Mod feature the race before.

Kidwell was not to be denied, although Brian McGowen put forth a mighty effort, only to finish runner up.

Jake Richards was third, Lucas Issacs started dead last and claimed fourth, with Matt Rose in fifth.

The Midwest Outlaw Vintage Racers club made an appearance, where an old friend of the Speedway, Ray Maloney, who’s business sponsors the B-Mod division, came out of retirement and won his feature race. It was Jack Simmons in second, Andy Wiles third, Chris Heilman fourth, and Larry Thierer fifth.

Gremlins plagued many of the Stock Car division competitors; of seven starters in the feature, only three survived. Tyler James was first, Patrick Kay second, and Devin Irvin third.

Derrek Wilson topped this week’s Pure Stock feature, holding off Mike Churning for the win. Don McIntosh started last but finished third, with Wayne Johnson and Krew Walburn finishing fourth and fifth.

Will Guthrie of Independence, Ks has been to Humboldt twice, and both times has won the Sport Compact feature.

James Lempke was this weeks runner up, Ms. Kourtney Letterman was third, Bobby Matlock made his racing debut in fourth.

A 100 lap, $1,000 to win Enduro race is scheduled after next Friday’s regular show.
