Debate: Dialogue gets personal

By JULIE PACE and JILL COLVIN The Associated Press

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP) — Donald Trump aggressively tried to pin the nation’s economic and national security problems on Hillary Clinton in the first presidential debate, belittling the former senator and secretary of state as a “typical politician” incapable of delivering the change many Americans crave.

But Trump found himself on the defensive for much of Monday’s 90-minute showdown, and the next morning, he spread the blame. He accused moderator Lester Holt of a left-leaning performance and going harder on him than Clinton, even floating the theory that organizers had intentionally given him a faulty microphone to set him up.

And after brushing off Clinton’s claim that he’d once shamed a former Miss Universe winner for her weight, Trump today dug himself deeper.

“She gained a massive amount of weight. It was a real problem. We had a real problem,” Trump told “Fox and Friends” about the 1996 winner of the pageant he once owned.

Clinton was thoroughly prepared in the debate, not only with detailed answers about her own policy proposals, but also sharp criticism of Trump’s business record, his past statements about women, and his false assertions that President Barack Obama may not have been born in the United States.

ZUMA PRESS/BRIAN CAHN/TNS She said his charges about Obama were part of his pattern of “racist behavior.”

The Democrat also blasted Trump for his refusal to release his tax returns, breaking with decades of presidential campaign tradition. She declared, “There’s something he’s hiding.”

Trump has said he can’t release his tax returns because he is being audited, though tax experts have said an audit is no barrier to making the information public. When Clinton suggested Trump’s refusal may be because he paid nothing in federal taxes, he interrupted to say, “That makes me smart.”

SAFE BASE scores a $360,000 grant

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

SAFE BASE has received a five-year, $360,000 grant that will continue the afterschool program for firstand second-graders at Jefferson Elementary.

Angela Henry, executive director of the district’s program, spoke at Monday’s Iola City Council about SAFE BASE’s successful application for a Kansas Department of Education grant.

To assist with the application, Council members in February approved a $5,000 yearly contribution through the life of the grant, to help pay for supplies.

Henry told the Council the city’s assistance gave the local application a much-needed boost.

“One reason our application was so successful was our city partnered with us,” she said.

Out of 98 applications for the competitive grant, only 38 were awarded funding, Henry said.

The plan is to submit another proposal this spring

Angela Henry to provide SAFE BASE programming for McKinley and Lincoln elementary schools, as well as fifth- and sixth-graders at Iola Middle School, Henry said.

The funding will pay for salaries and some supplies, and assumes an average daily SAFE BASE attendance of 65 first- and second-graders, Henry said.

The existing SAFE BASE program is open to any student K-6. As of this week, around 170 students are enrolled, Henry said, “a little lower than we have been,” but she expects those numSee CITY | Page A6

Quote of the day Vol. 118, No. 230

The televised face-off was the most anticipated moment in an election campaign that has been historic, convulsive and unpredictable. The candidates entered the debate locked in an exceedingly close race to become America’s 45th president, and while both had moments sure to enliven their core constituencies, it was unclear whether the event would dramatically change the trajectory of the race.

The debate was confrontational from the start, with Trump frequently trying to interrupt Clinton and speaking over her answers.

Clinton was more measured

and restrained, often smiling through his answers, well-aware of the television cameras capturing her reaction.

“Hillary told the truth and Donald told some whoppers,” Clinton’s running mate, Tim Kaine, told ABC News the morning after the debate.

Trump’s criticism of Clinton turned personal in the debate’s closing moments. He said, “She doesn’t have the look, she doesn’t have the stamina” to be president. He’s made similar comments in previous events, sparking outrage See DEBATE | Page A3

Driver at large after chase

A motorist remains at large following a chase that originated in Iola early S at u rd ay and went through Allen, Neosho and Wilson counties before the driver fled on foot.

Iola police officers received a call at about 5 a.m. about a motorist pointing a firearm at the driver of another vehicle near the intersection of Madison Avenue and State Street.

The other driver alerted police, and briefly followed the car, a Ford Escort, until officers spotted the offending driver just outside Iola’s city limits, Police Chief Jared Warner reported.

The driver refused to stop.

Eventually, other agencies assisted in the pursuit, including the Allen County Sheriff ’s Department, Humboldt Police Department, Kansas Highway Patrol and agencies in Neosho and Wilson counties.

After the chase ended and the driver exited the vehicle, law enforcement conducted a lengthy search of the vehicle. Warner said a K-9 unit was See CHASE | Page A6

After Medicaid cuts, dentist drops KanCare insurers

By ANDY MARSO KHI News Service

The president of the Kansas Dental Association said he has stopped taking patients from two of the state’s three KanCare insurance companies because of a 4 percent Medicaid reimbursement cut initiated by Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration.

John Fales, a pediatric dentist from Olathe, said Scion — the dental benefits manager for United HealthCare and Amerigroup — has told him it will implement the cut before it is approved by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

“When the 4 percent cut was announced, it was just more insult to the injury we were already feeling of trying to provide care and not being reimbursed for what that care costs,” Fales said.

The third KanCare insurance company, Sunflower State Health Plan, uses its own dental benefits manager, Dental Health and Wellness. Fales said that group is holding off on the cuts and its administrators generally have been easier to work with than Scion’s.

“I thought this was probably as good an opportunity as we were going to have to let the state know that there comes a point where it just is not possible to continue to provide that care as a private practitioner,” he said.

The financial picture is even tougher for dentists in rural areas,

John Fales, a pediatric dentist from Olathe and president of the Kansas Dental Association, has stopped taking patients from two of the state’s three KanCare insurance companies because of a 4 percent Medicaid reimbursement cut. KHI NEWS SERVICE Fales said. Every dentist has certain fixed costs, and being able to draw more patients from a densely populated area like Johnson County helps Fales defray them.

Fales wrote to federal officials about the 4 percent cut in July. He said he also wrote a letter to Brownback and has met with Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer, a plastic surgeon, to discuss his concerns about cuts for providers who treat patients in KanCare, the state’s privatized Medicaid program.

Kansas Department of Health and Environment officials have until Sept. 30 to submit a plan on the 4 percent cut for CMS approval.

But KDHE is allowed under federal rules to implement cuts prior to approval and did so on July 1.

The KanCare companies — and their subcontractors — can de-

cide whether to absorb the cuts or pass them on to providers.

When asked about Fales’ decision to drop the two KanCare companies, Angela de Rocha, a spokeswoman for state agencies, said in an email that “KDHE is sorry he has reached this decision and hopes he will reconsider in the future.”

No increases for 15 years Fales said the 4 percent cut was the last straw for him in dealing with a Medicaid system that long has been a financial loser for his dental practice and others.

Medicaid reimbursements for dental care haven’t increased since 2001 and now pay less than 40 percent of private insurance reimbursements, he said.

Fales’ decision to drop two of the three companies affects about 400 patients, but he has agreed to complete any outstanding care they need and work to find them other Medicaid providers or alternative means of payment.

“We haven’t nailed those down completely, but we have actually been engaging in conversations with patients,

parents and guardians to come up with a way where we can still provide that care,” Fales said.

Kansas dentists have been dropping out of the Medicaid program for years because of complicated billing processes and low reimbursements. Adults and Kansans with disabilities on Medicaid report having a particularly hard time finding a dentist.

John Fasbinder, a Prairie Village dentist who has said the low Medicaid reimbursements are hurting disabled Kansans, called Fales “one of the most caring and giving pediatric dentists I’ve ever met.” He said Fales is standing on principle in dropping two of three KanCare companies.

Fasbinder, who takes KanCare patients, said despite Fales’ leadership position, he doesn’t think other dentists will necessarily follow suit.

“I don’t believe he advocates to any providers to drop KanCare, and I doubt if there will be any exodus of providers,” Fasbinder said via email. “On the other hand, I don’t see any providers rushing to sign up to see Medicaid patients.”

Seeking solutions Fales said the switch to KanCare in 2013 intensified dentists’ discontent with Medicaid because instead of navigating just one billing system

Precipitation 24 hours ending 8 a.m.

— the state — they now have to navigate several with different rules.

He said many of his colleagues now treat some KanCare patients but just do the work for free because the Medicaid reimbursements don’t offset the hassles of billing Medicaid.

“I don’t think it even comes close,” Fales said.

But he said relying on charity care to fill the gap left by lagging Medicaid reimbursements is not a sustainable solution. The Kansas Dental Association estimates its members already are giving away $40 million in free care per year.

Brownback said the 4 percent cut was necessary to balance the state budget, but he later said he would support reversing it in the next legislative session and

replacing it with a tax on hospitals.

Fales said that’s not a viable solution.

He also said that creating a new license for mid-level dental providers who could do more care than hygienists but less than dentists is not a silver bullet for Medicaid patients either.

The number of practicing dentists in Kansas grew from about 1,400 in 2009 to almost 1,550 in 2015, Fales said.

While he said there may be few dentists in some regions, there’s no shortage of dentists statewide — just a shortage of those willing to take Medicaid.

Fales said Kansas should look to Texas, where an increase in dental reimbursement rates led to dentists taking many more Medicaid patients.

“Within three years the percentage of children covered by Medicaid being seen was higher than the percentage of children covered by private insurance (receiving treatment),” Fales said. “Private insurance was still paying more than Medicaid, but it was close, and so the dentists — who I think have a generous heart to begin with — said, ‘I’m all in, let’s do this.’”

Police report Arrest reported Julia Arnold, 28, Humboldt, was arrested early Sunday in the 3000 block of North Kentucky Street for suspicion of disorderly conduct and interfering with law enforcement, Iola police officers said.

Parked vehicles hit Iola police officers said Mary S. Colgin, 63, was backing from a parking stall outside the Iola High School science build-

Officers said Colgin left without reporting the accident.

Analysis: Clinton’s needling keeps Trump off balance HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (TNS) — Hillary Clinton came prepared, held her ground, and went for the throat with oneliners at once rehearsed and biting. Attack after withering attack, she demonstrated the value of homework.

Donald Trump sought to project toughness and a measure of competence. He avoided coming off as a know-nothing blowhard. But the whoppers he unleashed in the first presidential debate did him no favors.

“No wonder you’ve been fighting ISIS your entire adult life,” he asserted at one point as the discussion turned to the Middle East, where the Islamic State terror group known as ISIS has been chopping off heads, gobbling territory and destabilizing regimes since ... 1999.

At one point, Clinton averred that she’d prepared for this event, implying that her opponent, known for improvisation, had not.

“You know what else I prepared for? I prepared to be president.

And I think that’s a good thing,” she said, a sly smile on her face.

The debate offered the country a long view of two candidates with starkly different policy views on trade, taxes, guns, race and crime.

It highlighted a vastly different choice in tone and temperament.

BUT MAINLY, it will be remembered for the shots they fired at each other, each trying to knock the other off balance and make the other show voters their worst side. Neither succeeded entirely, though Clinton was relentlessly on offense for all but the first few minutes of the contest.

Doubts shadowed both nominees as they arrived at Hofstra University on Long Island.

Todd J. Gillman The Dallas Morning News Big doubts. Can Clinton overcome a stubborn image that she’s untrustworthy and unlikable? Can Trump dispel concerns that he’s not just vulgar but shallow?

Could he show that he belongs on a presidential debate stage and, after that, in the Oval Office?

They each tried to frame the debate to their benefit.

“You have to judge us. Who can shoulder the immense awesome responsibilities of the presidency?”

Clinton said at the outset.

TRUMP harped on the loss of jobs to China and Mexico — priming voters to watch not through a lens of his foibles or strengths, but in terms of the comfort he could offer to salve their anxieties.

“We have to stop our jobs from being stolen from us,” Trump said.

“I’ll be reducing taxes tremendously” and that will unleash job creation. “It’s going to be a beautiful thing to watch.”

The debate was not as beautiful to watch. It was testy and filled with bickering. That’s no big surprise; nominees for president have everything on the line in a debate.

“Donald Trump thinks that climate change is a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese,” Clinton insisted.

“I do not say that. I do not,” Trump interjected, though he did, in a 2012 tweet that he now insists was a joke.

Sarcasm was never far below the surface.

“Donald it’s good to be with you,” she said.

Democrat Hillary Clinton, right, and Republican Donald Trump during their first presidential debate Monday in Hempstead, N.Y. SIPA USA/QIN LANG/TNS A few moments later, he referred to her as “Secretary Clinton” and then she asked if that was OK with her. “I just want you to be happy.

It’s very important to me,” he said.

Rather formal for someone who’d been a guest at his wedding, and soon enough he’d gotten more informal.

But he later toggled back to “Secretary” — remembering, apparently, that he’d been coached to paint her as a careerist in Washington.

“Hillary, I would just ask you this: You’ve been doing this for 30 years. ... Now you’re just starting to think of solutions. ... I will bring back jobs. You cannot bring back jobs,” he said.

“I think my husband did a pretty good job,” she said, embracing her unique biography as a first lady, senator and chief diplomat.

She was armed with lines intended not only to denigrate but to provoke.

“Just join the debate by saying more crazy things,” she said.

Trump had a few preset attacks, too. The theme was that Clinton is a creature of the establishment, just the sort of person the country is agitating against.

“Typical politician.

All talk, no action,” he said during a back-andforth over economic policy. “Our country is suffering because people like Secretary Clinton have made such bad decisions.”

That private email

server, that was no mistake, he said; she did that on purpose and the growing list of aides who’ve pleaded the Fifth Amendment to avoid self-incrimination has exposed her underhandedness.

“This country thinks it’s disgraceful,” he said.

THE

BOASTFUL

Trump came to play, as when he deflected questions about his refusal to release his tax returns.

Better, he said, would be to look at his 100-page financial disclosure form, showing annual income of nearly $700 million.

“It’s about time that this country has somebody running it that has some idea about money,” he said.

But Clinton, a Yale educated lawyer, had studied the brief and pulled the chapters on the contractors he’d “stiffed,” and his half-dozen business bankruptcies, and his still-secret tax returns from the mental file.

“Maybe he’s not as rich as he says he is.

Maybe he’s not as charitable as he claims to be,” she said. Maybe he hasn’t donated a cent to charity. “That means zero for schools, zero for health, zero for vets ...

It must be something terrible that he’s trying to hide.”

It was a humorless presentation for the most part, jocularity being a tool with which Trump is far more adept. He showed this playful side — some might

say humorous, others ridiculous — when he challenged an assertion that it was Russia who’d hacked the Democratic Party’s emails.

She was making the point that his admiration for strongman Vladimir Putin is worrisome.

“I don’t think anybody knows that it was Russia that broke into the DNC,” Trump insisted, although the national security establishment has pinned it on that country. “She’s saying ‘Russia, Russia, Russia’ but I don’t know.

Maybe it was. It could be Russia but it could also be China. ... It also could be somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds.”

It drew a laugh, but the point of it wasn’t exactly clear.

CLINTON’S

LONG

service in government gave her a clear edge in terms of speaking the language of a president.

She spoke of NATO’s Article 5, the provision that, as she schooled her opponent, means that “an attack on one is an attack on all.”

But it was her relentless needling that characterized this debate.

Given the range he’s displayed throughout the campaign, Trump was remarkably restrained — though also on his heels.

“His cavalier attitude toward nuclear weapons is so deeply troubling,” she said, setting up a variation of the zinger she’d used at the Democratic convention — this time, with an allusion to a sore spot involving the size of his hands and, by extension, his manliness: “A man who can provoked by a tweet should not have his fingers anywhere near the nuclear codes.”

“That line’s getting a little bit old I must say,” he said, in a tone that encapsulated one his favorite putdowns: Sad! “It’s a good one, though,” she said. “Well describes the problem.”

He defended both his temper and his digital measurements: “It’s not an accurate one at all.”

This wasn’t highbrow territory, for either combatant. It made Clinton no more “likable” or trustworthy than ever, other than as a pugilist.

But it kept Trump from scoring big on the gravitas scale.

Debate: Attacks Continued from A1

from Clinton backers who accused him of leveling a sexist attack on the first woman nominated for president by a major U.S. political party.

Clinton leapt at the opportunity to remind voters of Trump’s controversial comments about women, who will be crucial to the outcome of the November election.

“This is a man who has called women pigs, slobs and dogs,” she said.

The centerpiece of Trump’s case against Clinton was that the former senator and secretary of state is little more than a career politician who has squandered opportunities to address the domestic and international problems she’s now pledging to tackle as president.

“She’s got experience,” he said, “but it’s bad experience.”

Clinton, who hunkered down for days of intensive debate preparation, came armed with a wealth of detailed attack lines. She named an architect she said built a clubhouse for Trump who says he was not fully paid and quoted comments Trump had made about Iraq and about nuclear weapons.

The candidates sparred over trade, taxes and how to bring good-paying jobs back to the United States.

Clinton said her Republican rival was promoting a “Trumped-up” version of trickle-down economics — a philoso-

phy focused on tax cuts for the wealthy. She called for increasing the federal minimum wage, spending more on infrastructure projects and guaranteeing equal pay for women.

Trump panned policies that he said have led to American jobs being moved overseas, in part because of international trade agreements that Clinton has supported. He pushed her aggressively on her past support for the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade pact while she was serving in the Obama administration.

She’s since said she opposes the sweeping deal in its final form.

The Republican appeared to contradict himself on how he might use nuclear weapons if he’s elected president. He first said he “would not do first strike” but then said he couldn’t “take anything off the table.”

Clinton said Trump was too easily provoked to serve as commander in chief and could be quickly drawn into a war involving nuclear weapons.

Some frequently hot-button issues were barely mentioned during the intense debate.

Illegal immigration and Trump’s promises of a border wall were not part of the conversation. And while Clinton took some questions on her private email server, she was not grilled about her family’s foundation, Bill Clinton’s past infidelities or voter doubts about her trustworthiness.

Ready for earthquakes and floods? Market report With the recent national and state flooding concerns, not to mention earthquakes, you might want to take a look at your insurance.

Ken Selzer, CPA, Kansas Commissioner of Insurance, has released some consumer alerts about these incidents recently.

What might come as a surprise is that you may not be covered.

A survey by the Insurance Information Institute shows that only 8 percent of homeowners in the Midwest have earthquake insurance. In Oklahoma, 15 percent of homeowners have the coverage.

Earthquake coverage is not part of a regular homeowners, renters or condominium insurance policy. Earthquake insurance coverage in Kansas requires a separate policy or endorsement to your regular homeowner’s insurance policy. Insurance companies may offer additional coverage by including an

There might also be a separate deductible for the home’s contents.

Another factor is timing for coverage. Most insurers will not sell any new earthquake in-

erations, too. Commissioner Selzer reminds Kansans that the National Flood Insurance Program is a federal program, and policies are not regulated by the Kansas Insurance Department. However, Kansas licensed insurance agents can sell flood insurance poli-

cies, and those agents are regulated by Kansas Insurance Department.

One thing to be aware of is that there is a 30 day waiting period after the purchase of a flood insurance policy before coverage goes into effect. The typical policy premium is $500 per year. More information about the National Flood Insurance Program can be found at www.floodsmart.gov.

Homeowners, renters, automobile, or health insurance, review your policies and personal needs for better understanding and adequate coverage.

Wet summer erases drought from Kansas

By STAN FINGER The Wichita Eagle

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — What would eventually become Kansas was once described as an arid region barely hospitable enough for habitation.

“These vast plains... may become in time as celebrated as the sandy deserts of Africa,” the explorer Zebulon Pike wrote in 1810.

Western portions of the Sunflower State were part of what was called the Great American Desert for decades. Though settlers moving into the region in the middle of the 19th century discovered they could make a living in what seemed at first to be unforgivable conditions, the Dust Bowl that defined the “Dirty Thirties” in the following century had many wondering whether the region was destined to indeed become a desert.

All of which makes what’s happening now all the more remarkable: Not 1 acre of Kansas soil is considered to be in drought, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor.

There have been only four periods since 2000 that Kansas has been entirely drought-free, National Weather Service meteorologist Jim Caruso said.

“It is rare to have the entire state of Kansas in drought-free status,” Caruso said.

A five-week stretch of May and June this year was drought-free. But that falls well short of the longest stretch since 2000: 31 weeks from September 2009 to April 2010, state climatologist Mary Knapp said in an e-mail response to questions.

“Kansas has been really fortunate this year with rainfall,” Larry Ruthi, meteorologistin-charge of the Dodge City branch of the weather service, said in an e-mail response to questions.

Widespread heavy rain in April “was a real game changer for much

of the central Plains,” Ruthi said.

A persistent weather pattern that brought moisture flowing from the Pacific into the central part of the country created an almost tropical environment in Kan-

es of rain fell this summer in Wichita, which nearly matches the city’s average for an entire year.

A wet final weekend for Wichita could push 2016 to second place in the soggiest Septembers

There have been only four periods since 2000 that Kansas has been entirely drought-free....

sas this summer.

“This has favored widespread significant rainfall,” Ruthi said.

Most of Kansas received more than 150 percent of its average rainfall over the past three months, he said.

This summer is one of the wettest in Wichita history and one of the wettest Septembers as well. More than 28 inch-

on record.

That heavy rain was bad news for places such as Mulvane, which suffered through two significant floods just a few weeks apart in late summer.

But the persistent rains set the stage for what agriculture officials say could be record harvests for wheat, corn and soybeans this year.

Early September rains will help soybean and milo plants fill out the grain well, said Gary Cramer, an agronomist with the Kansas State University Extension Service.

“It’s going to help us get the wheat in the ground and get a good start on it,” Cramer said.

Even average rainfall the rest of the year should keep Kansas in good shape, he said. The subsoil is still pretty wet throughout the state, meaning it won’t have to rain long for runoff to start.

“It doesn’t take much rain to knock us out of the field,” Cramer said.

The Climate Prediction Center is projecting that the state’s drought-free status will last through at least the end of the year, meaning the streak could reach double digits in terms of weeks.

Pond scum confab Southeast Kansas is an area of abundant water. Many area landowners have recreational or livestock watering ponds on their property. Over time, the buildup of sediment and nutrients can cause weed and algae issues.

Pondweeds can become unsightly, clog pipes, and deplete oxygen necessary for a healthy fish population. If you have concerns about your pond, join the Southwind Extension District of K-State Research and Extension on Thursday, Oct. 6, at 6 p.m.

in the basement meeting room of the Allen County Courthouse, in Iola.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Washington memorial will teach millions about Eisenhower Every American should rejoice that an agreement has finally been reached on a memorial for Dwight D. Eisenhower in Washington, D.C. Every Kansan should be doubly thrilled with the final design. It will include a tribute not only to Eisenhower’s command of the Allied forces in Europe in World War II, and to his eight years as president of the United States, but also to his pride in his Kansas roots.

The idea of a monument for Eisenhower was proposed in 1999 by Rocco Siciliano, then the head of the Eisenhower Institute public policy center.

Eisenhower’s descendants have raised a number of objections to designs submitted by architect Frank Gehry.

Early on, some members of the family pushed for a “living memorial” — a think tank or research center to further Eisenhower’s values and goals — rather than a monument.

Later, other objections arose involving the design of the memorial. Eisenhower’s granddaughter Susan

An artist rendering shows the proposed Eisenhower Memorial on a four-acre plaza south of the National Mall, near the National Air and Space Museum. The currently unnamed plaza will be named “Eisenhower Square.”

Eisenhower said large steel tapestries at the site would give it the appearance of a theme park. Other critics objected to the idea of a single statue of Eisenhower as a boy growing up in Abilene.

That would take away from his military and presidential achievements, they argued.

The memorial is to be built on a 4-acre site south of

the National Mall, near the Air and Space Museum. The site will be called Eisenhower Square.

The new design prominently features information about his Kansas upbringing and includes his famous quote that “The proudest thing I can claim is that I am from Abilene.”

A news release last week

announced the agreement on the design. James Baker III, the former secretary of state under President George H.W. Bush, acted as an intermediary between the sides.

Susan Eisenhower said all her siblings support the new design.

Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kansas, said he hopes to dedicate the memorial on June 6,

2019, the 75th anniversary of D-Day. Former Sen. Bob Dole, frustrated with the delays, announced last year that he would lead a private fundraising effort to collect $150 million for the memorial.

“It has been 16 years since Congress authorized this memorial and it still has not been built, and some of us older World War II veterans would like to be there for the dedication,” Dole said.

“I want the country I fought for — the country that has benefited from Ike’s leadership, resolve and vision — to honor Ike. Now!” Young Americans and future generations need to know about the man from Abilene and how he changed the world.

We can hope such a memorial will motivate visitors to Washington to take a new interest in reading about Eisenhower’s life or watching video documentaries.

Better still, some might be stirred to visit the Eisenhower Museum in Abilene to view displays and artifacts from his life.

Not everything fits profit module

Kansas to the rescue We don’t have to elect Donald Trump to know his supply-side economics plan won’t work.

All the country has to do is look to Kansas to see how badly the model fares.

Trump bases his economic policy on generous tax cuts for the wealthy, which, he says, would “create tremendous jobs.”

Here in Kansas, the reverse has been true.

Six years of Gov. Sam Brownback’s trickledown economics have bankrupted the state.

The tax breaks for the wealthy have not been used to create more jobs.

In fact, compared to our neighbors, our ability to create jobs has faltered.

The better course would have been to direct those resources to build and maintain roads and bridges, keep schools and hospitals open, and lift our poor out of poverty.

You make families stable by paying them a decent wage and seeing their basic needs are met. You keep a country on firm ground by not eliminating its main source of income.

At Monday night’s debate, Hillary Clinton called out her opponent’s tax plan as “Trumped-up trickle down,” economics noting such a scenario would cost the country $4.5 trillion.

Kansas is all the proof the country needs to show tax breaks for the wealthy merely stay with the wealthy and do nothing to help the middle and lower classes.

fully start the whole “birther” movement by alleging President Obama was not a U.S. citizen; and continues to malign women, U.S. veterans and minorities.

As just one example of the latter, Monday night he tried to dodge the fact that he said Clinton did not “look” presidential, by saying she does not have the “stamina” to be president.

Get off.

BUT PEOPLE like Trump don’t get it.

All their lives they’ve been able to call the shots and create their own world view.

At Monday’s forum Trump trounced the truth to suit his everchanging story line.

But just for the record, Trump did support the war in Iraq; is in the pocket of Russian president Vladimir Putin; does maintain the nuclear option to wage war “is on the table;” has called climate change a “hoax;” was born with a silver spoon in his mouth by accepting a $14 million “loan” from his father to get a start in business; did shame-

BECAUSE he doesn’t know how to do anything else, Trump kept the focus on himself Monday night.

He talked incessantly about how wealthy he is — as if that’s a measure of leadership or character.

He bragged about how he has never paid income tax — making us poor working stiffs feel like chumps.

And he continually interrupted Sec. Clinton, showing impatience when the discussion got too deep.

Clinton, meanwhile, remained poised, steady and able.

So what’s to decide?

— Susan Lynn

We’re believers in free enterprise and the right to start a business, make a product and generate a profit by selling it for more than it costs to produce.

But I wonder if some important elements of American life simply aren’t suitable for producing a profit. Consider these four: Education: I started thinking about this question last week after reading an Associated Press report on a decline in enrollment at for-profit colleges, a segment of higher education that had previously been the source of considerable growth.

Consider the prominent example of the University of Phoenix, where enrollment fell by 22 percent this year and by 70 percent since 2010.

And recently one of the largest for-profit companies, ITT Technical Institute, was forced to close 130 of its campuses, leaving its 35,000 students stranded and 8,000 people out of work. The industry as a whole has suffered from similar setbacks.

Various factors have contributed to the decline, but much of it is attributable to federal efforts to abolish unethical practices that are directly related to the profit motive.

New federal regulations prohibit for-profit colleges from paying bonuses to recruiters based on the number of students they enroll, a practice that resulted in over-promising, excessive borrowing and weak graduation rates.

When for-profit colleges can no longer employ the dubious practices that got Wells Fargo in trouble last week, their bottom lines suffer. Maybe education and profitmaking were never a very good match to be-

John Crisp Tribune News Service

gin with.

Incarceration: In August the Obama administration announced that it will begin phasing out the use of for-profit prisons to house federal inmates.

The announcement referenced a report from the Justice Department’s independent Inspector General, who documented safety and security problems at for-profit prisons. A deputy attorney general announced that such prisons provide fewer rehabilitation services, such as education and job training, which are, she said, “essential to reducing recidivism and improving public safety.”

But why would forprofit prisons bother to produce frills like these? The bottom line has no interest in looking beyond a prisoner’s release date or in concerning itself about society’s overall well-being.

Unfortunately, putting people in prison is one of our society’s inevitable unseemly tasks, but it just doesn’t mesh with profit-making.

Healthcare: It’s not important whether the “right” to healthcare is implied in the Constitution or not; nothing in the Constitution prevents us from awarding that right to every citizen, if we wish.

And if we did, society, as a whole, would benefit enormously.

But how does profitmaking fit into the worthy effort to ensure that all Americans are able to pursue happiness because they’re in

reasonable health? It doesn’t. When it comes to healthcare, buying and selling are unlike any other element of American commerce.

The product is mysterious, and the consumer has much less opportunity and capacity to make rational, cost-effective decisions about his purchases.

And often these decisions are matters of life and death. Why should this be a place where big companies make big profits?

FINALLY, the United States Postal Service: The USPS doesn’t fit readily with the three elements considered above, but it may be the first and best example of a national decision to produce an essential service with no thought for making a profit.

Let’s give Benjamin Franklin, the first Postmaster General, credit for envisioning a system that allows every citizen, rich and poor, to scribble an address on a piece of paper or package and have it delivered in a few days for a nominal fee _ the same fee for everyone _ to any other address in the United States.

With no interest in profit-making, this great democratizing system brought us together as a nation and is still at work today.

And it serves as a fine reminder that our society has some things that it has to do and some things that it wants to do and that many of these things, by their natures, are not suitable places to make a dollar.

At least one of the weapons, and the license tag on the vehicle, apparently had been stolen from a residence in Yates Center, Warner said.

The suspect’s name has not been released.

Information is being obtained in order for officers to request an arrest warrant, the chief said.

EARLY TEST Cubs suffer first junior varsity loss to Bullpups

By JON DYKSTRA The Iola Register

HUMBOLDT — It would be difficult to draw up a more exciting start to a football game than Monday’s contest in Humboldt featuring the Cubs and the Caney Valley Bullpups.

Facing a fourth-and-three from their own 46-yard line, the Caney Valley coaching staff decided to not only go for it, but also to run their quarterback Andrew Anderson to try and pick up the first down. Never mind

that the Bullpups’ signal-caller had just run the ball two plays earlier and had gone for negative-two.

The call caught the Cubs off-guard, however, and Anderson was able to score on a 54-yard touchdown scamper.

A two-point conversion made it 8-0 just two minutes into the game.

Humboldt’s Conor Haviland refused to be outdone and the Cubs’ star freshman took the team’s third-

CARBONDALE — The Iola Ponies seventh-grade A-Team was able to earn a 3-1 victory over Santa Fe Trail on Monday.

The Ponies won the first two sets, 25-17 and 25-19, over the Chargers to take a commanding lead in the match.

Santa Fe Trail was able to respond with a 25-22 third set victory.

Iola coach Stacy Sprague blamed the third-set performance on a lack of communication and that the team “had several incidents of not talking and letting the ball fall in the middle of us.”

In the fourth set, the Ponies were able to play well and put the match away with a 25-22

See CUBS | Page B3

It’s supposed to be a place where we retreat from the realities of life, a place where we can immerse ourselves for a few hours in another world.

Sports have always seemed to do that for us, even if the refuge they offer is temporary at best.

Lately, though, the playground just hasn’t been that much fun.

We were reminded about it on a fall Sunday, where we said a melancholy goodbye to one towering figure and tried to deal with the pain of losing yet another. Vin Scully had just finished Jose Fernandez saying goodbye to an adoring crowd at Dodger Stadium when word came in that Arnold Palmer had died in Pittsburgh.

The day had already gotten off to a sobering start, when joy was snuffed out in Miami. The images of a speedboat crushed on rocks were to Arnold Palmer horrific wake up to, and the tragic death of rising of magnetic young star Jose Fernandez seemed incomprehensible and yet so utterly final.

Reality intruded, and it came at us like a Fernandez fast ball exploding into a catcher’s mitt. Even the spectacle that is a Sunday in the NFL didn’t seem the same on a day more suited to somber reflection than celebration.

Yet celebrate they did, in football stadiums around the country and in the stands at Dodger Stadium, where a dramatic walk-off home run to clinch the division was followed by Vinny singing goodbye to a crowd that didn’t know whether to cry or scream themselves silly. Hollywood couldn’t have scripted

set win.

Reece Murry set the tone for the Ponies in the match.

Murry led the team in hits and also was the team leader with 21 serves in-play.

Jenna Curry also had a big game in her second game day back from a previous concussion. Curry had 18 serves in-play in the four sets.

Miah Shelby was stellar with her serve by serving 13-of-14 in-play.

Sprague also was very complementary of the contributions Logan Ulrich, Ally Ellis and Chloe Sell made to help the team earn See PONIES | Page B6

Larned hospital not aware of CFO woes WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Officials at a state psychiatric hospital in Larned weren’t aware that the man hired as its chief financial officer in 2015 had been the focus of a federal investigation, according to the state agency that oversees the facility.

David Fender joined Larned State Hospital in August 2015, after serving a year as chief financial officer for the Government National Mortgage Association, or Ginnie Mae, a federally owned corporation that insures government-backed mortgages.

The state announced Fender’s departure in August when it also launched a financial audit of the mental hospital.

According to an April 2015 federal inspector general’s report provided to The Wichita Eagle in response to a Freedom of Information request, before Fender was hired to work at Larned, he used his public office for private gain and made false statements to the federal government — potential criminal violations.

Federal prosecutors declined to prosecute, in part because the Department of Housing and Urban Development where he worked had already begun termination proceedings, according to the report. The agency redacted the subject’s name in the report, but details match what is known about Fender.

Fender didn’t return phone calls from the newspaper or The Asso-

ciated Press.

Angela de Rocha is the spokeswoman for the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services, which oversees the state’s psychiatric hospitals. She said when Fender was hired to work at Larned State Hospital, hospital officials did not know about the federal investigation, which was first reported by the website The Daily Caller in July. De Rocha said she couldn’t give details about the state audit of the hospital.

One issue the federal investigation noted was that Fender provided false information to Ginnie Mae during the hiring process, and that he had been forced to leave a previous employer, who did not recommend Fender for government security clearance or employment. It’s unclear whether Kansas performed a background check for Fender or consulted federal officials before hiring him.

John Milburn, spokesman for the Kansas Department of Administration, which oversees the state’s human resources management, said in an email background checks aren’t required for all state employees. Milburn said agencies “are strongly encouraged to check references during the hiring process.”

De Rocha said in an email that her agency requires only staffers who work directly with patients to undergo background checks before employment.

Kobach to appear at contempt hearing WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A federal judge has ordered Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach to show why he shouldn’t be held in contempt for failing to comply with an injunction requiring him to put on voter rolls people who registered at motor vehicle offices without providing citizenship documents.

U.S. District Judge Julie Robinson on Monday ordered Kobach to appear in her courtroom Friday and to file a written response by Thurs-

day.

Kobach says the state “is in full compliance with the district court’s order.”

The American Civil Liberties Union contends Kobach has not registered these voters in the official poll books as Robinson ordered in May. The ACLU argues Kobach also issued a misleading voter notice.

These voters aren’t given a regular ballot and must use a provisional one, which raises secrecy concerns.

Cubs: Humboldt’s junior varsity suffers first loss of the season Continued from B1

play from scrimmage 59 yards for a touchdown.

Unfortunately for the Cubs, their offense was unable to keep up with the powerful Bullpup attack throughout the game and Caney Valley was able to notch a 29-20 victory to give Humboldt its first loss of the season and drop the Cubs record to 2-1.

“Caney Valley was the best junior varsity team we’ve played so far,” Humboldt coach Jeremy Weilert said. “I don’t fault the effort of our kids, because they go out and do the best they can, but the key to football is getting 11 people to do the same thing at the same time and sometimes we just don’t get that.

“We always tell the guys to ‘do your job.’

Sometimes you think that doing somebody else’s job is the right thing, but if we can get 11 people to do their jobs at the same time, that leads to success.”

The Bullpups scored on another Anderson keeper on their ensuing touchdown drive to make the score 14-6.

Early in the second quarter, Haviland struck again though, this time on defense.

The Humboldt linebacker intercepted a Bullpup pass and was

The Cubs’ sophomore quarterback Kyler Allen was able to find his favorite receiver Calob Klauman for the twopoint conversion and tie the game at 14-14 with

8:43 remaining in the first half.

“Kyler does a good job for us at quarterback,” Weilert said. “He is still learning the position.”

It appeared like that would be the halftime score, until Anderson was able to find pay-dirt

again with just 21 seconds left before intermission.

This time it was a oneyard quarterback sneak and Caney Valley converted the two-point conversion to take a 22-14 lead into the second half.

In the second half,

the Cubs made a quarterback change and inserted sophomore Teryn Johnson into the game.

“Teryn hasn’t taken a lot of snaps for us,” Weilert said. “We are just trying to see what we can get from some of the kids, because you never

know when you might need them (at the varsity level). We are trying to make sure that we are as prepared as we can be for Friday nights.

“Teryn didn’t play a bad game. The decisionmaking will come with time and he may make for a pretty good quarterback.”

They could not slow the Caney Valley momentum, however, and an early Bullpup touchdown gave them a 29-14 lead.

Humboldt was able to answer when Johnson found junior receiver Wyatt Seufert for a touchdown late in the third quarter. A Johnson keeper for the two-point conversion failed and the game remained a two-score game.

Caney Valley was able to play keep-away from Humboldt for a majority of the fourth quarter.

They had an eight-play drive and a nine-play drive that didn’t result in points, but that ran huge portions of time off the clock.

The Cubs only ran six offensive plays in the fourth quarter until the closing seconds of the game.

The Cubs will look to rebound next week when they host Fredonia’s junior varsity next Monday.

Falcons hold off Saints

By BRETT MARTEL The Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Devonta Freeman practically wore out the Superdome turf with one long gain after another, Tevin Coleman wouldn’t be denied near the goal line and the New Orleans Saints hardly looked like the team that made an emotional homecoming nearly 10 years ago to the day.

Cheers turned to boos, and many fans filed out early.

Coleman rushed for three touchdowns, Matt Ryan passed for two TDs and Deion Jones returned an interception 90 yards for a score to help the Atlanta Falcons beat the winless New Orleans Saints 45-32 on Monday night.

“It was real fun. Everybody was doing their job and everybody was playing for each other,” Coleman said. “Everything clicked, and we got it done. It’s a real big win for us to beat this team here.”

The game coincided with New Orleans’ celebration of the 10-year anniversary of the Saints’ memorable return to the Superdome on Sept. 25, 2006, 13 months after Hurricane Katrina. But there would be no reprise of New Orleans’ dominant and emotional 23-3 triumph over Atlanta a decade ago.

The Saints’ depleted defense struggled to slow Freeman, who rushed for 152 yards and caught five passes for 55 yards. Coleman also was effective in the passing game out of the backfield, with three receptions for 47 yards to go with his 42 yards rushing.

“We have to stop the run better,” Saints coach Sean Payton said. “They were over 200 yards in sit-

uations where you knew the run was coming, even at the end of the game.”

Ryan finished with 240 yards passing for Atlanta (2-1), which did not turn the ball over and moved into sole possession of first place in the NFC South.

Drew Brees put up his usual big numbers — 376 yards and three TDs passing — and hit tight end Coby Fleener seven times

Progress edition

for 109 yards and a TD. But Brees’ tipped pass that resulted in Jones’ TD return early in the fourth quarter gave the Falcons a 45-25 lead that proved too much for New Orleans to overcome.

The loss dropped the Saints (0-3) to last place — a far cry from their 3-0 start in 2006.

RUNNING WILD The Falcons gouged

New Orleans’ porous defense for 217 yards on the ground, highlighted by runs of 48, 36 and 26 yards

by Freeman. That took a lot of pressure off Ryan, who praised his offensive line.

“Our offensive line was outstanding across the board,” Ryan said.

“Anytime you get over 200 rushing yards, your offensive line has played well.

Those guys did great.”

Excess fluids causes lower-body swelling Dear Dr. Roach: Forty-five years ago, I had ovarian cancer. I had surgery, followed by 30 radiation treatments.

Twenty years later, I was diagnosed at first with venous insufficiency, then with lymphedema in my lower extremities.

I was on spironolactone for 15 years before I was told that a diuretic does nothing for either condition, so I stopped taking it. I wear compression stockings and get manual lymphatic drainage treatments as needed.

What is the difference between venous insufficiency and lymphedema? What is the role of sodium intake in both?

Is there a cure for venous insufficiency? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; O.M.L.

in the feet or fingers, especially after a hot and humid day, with a lot of standing or after taking in high amounts of salt and water. The body uses the lymphatic system to return this fluid to the heart. Thin-walled lymphatic vessels â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which, roughly speaking, parallel the veins â&#x20AC;&#x201D; return excess fluid leaked out by blood vessels back to the heart.

In venous insufficiency, the veins leak more than they ought to. This is often because the valves in the veins, which should prevent blood from going the wrong way, become damaged and â&#x20AC;&#x153;insufficient.â&#x20AC;?

By contrast, in lymphedema, the lymphatic

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health Answer: The systemic arteries take oxygen-rich blood from the heartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left ventricle to the body, and the veins carry the oxygen-depleted blood back to the heart. However, veins leak a little bit. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leak blood cells, but they do leak fluid.

This fluid (called lymph) tends to collect in places where it is pulled by gravity. Most adults have had the experience of having some swelling

vessels are damaged. Radiation and cancer are common causes, but it sometimes happens for no known reason.

Diuretics, like spironolactone, furosemide (Lasix) and HCTZ are not an effective longterm treatment for either condition. Support stockings, keeping the affected area elevated above the heart (a halfhour three times daily is usual), and avoiding excess sodium are appropriate for both conditions. Manual lymphatic drainage is the most effective treatment for lymphedema, but it is labor-intensive, often not covered by insurance and can be hard to find.

Shut down familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s judgmental ways Dear Carolyn: How do I deal with an extremely judgmental helicopter family? I am living in another country trying to sort out what I want in my life, not depending on anyone but myself financially.

When I call home, instead of, â&#x20AC;&#x153;How are you?,â&#x20AC;?

I get a tirade of questions about what am I doing with my life, etc.

I am happy where I am right now, but after I talk to people back home I get anxious and down on myself. I get they are

entitled to all that information: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, gosh, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to go. Love you, bye.â&#x20AC;?

Say it any and every time they start down the path that wears down your resistance.

They are not â&#x20AC;&#x153;just looking out forâ&#x20AC;? you. If that were the case then they would give you room to exercise your own judgment and build your own strength and confidence.

If you want a more charitable take, then, OK: They think they are looking out for you

For practical purposes, these two takes are the exact same thing, with the exact same remedy. Stop talking to them so much, at least until they get the message that interrogations (equal sign) end of the call.

watching at home with my sons, knowing that part of the soundtrack of my life wouldn’t be heard anymore.

Maybe it’s a generational thing, but for my generation it’s been a tough few months. The

heroes of our youth are fading away, and too many of them are passing away.

Baby boomers everywhere ache when they hear the news. It’s always another reminder that nothing lasts forever, and that their own mortality is just as precarious as that of the people they cheered for so many years.

I saw it in Louisville in June, as the procession of cars carrying Muhammad Ali’s casket drove slowly through the city streets. If Ali was magnificent, so was the outpouring of love from people who reached out just to touch the hearse or throw flowers on the windshield.

Ali transcended his sport like no athlete ever, becoming a symbol for a generation and a hero to so many. He stood tall even as he trembled in his later life and his voice was muted from the effects of Parkinson’s.

It seemed like he would live forever, but the sad reality is that no one ever does.

We lost The Greatest, and that seemed almost impossible. Now we’ve lost The King, and we have to deal with that.

Like Ali, Arnie was more than just a golfer.

His mark was made in a different way, but the son of a greenskeeper brought a rich man’s sport to the common man and transformed the way

the victory.

SEVENTH-GRADE B-TEAM The seventh-grade B-Team was also able to earn a victory on Monday over Santa Fe Trail.

The Ponies dropped the opening set to the Chargers, 25-14.

Iola was able to bounce back with 25-20 victory in the second set and won the match with a 15-8 third-set win.

Laura Newkirk was the top server for the Ponies with 13 of her 15 serves being in play.

Mariah VanNice also was able to get 13 of her serves in-play.

Vivian Noah and Harper Gregg also had a strong day from the service line.

SEVENTH-GRADE C-TEAM The seventh-grade C-Team only played two sets on Monday and they split with Santa Fe Trail.

The Chargers won the first set 25-13, but Iola took the second set 25-18.

Tamera Roach and Jenise Holding each played well to help the Ponies earn the second-set win.

Sprague expressed after the match that she has been very pleased with the development of the CTeam this season and that she has been impressed with its improvement.

EIGHTH-GRADE A-TEAM The Iola eighthgrade A-Team did not enjoy the same success that its seventhgrade schoolmates had.

They fell in straight sets to the Chargers on Monday, 25-22, 25-

21 and 25-15.

“We were right in each set, but just couldn’t put the pall away when we needed to,” Iola coach Terri Carlin said. “Our serve-receive was weak and in each set Santa Fe Trail got into a serving roll.”

Becca Sprague was able to continue her strong season with another good all-around night on Monday. She finished with nine aces, two kills and an assist.

Jenna Miller was second on the team with five aces while Hannah Gardner and Aaliyah Blazek each had a pair of aces.

Blazek also contributed two kills.

EIGHTH-GRADE B-TEAM The eighth-grade BTeam was able to make quick work of the Chargers with a straight-set victory on Monday.

The Ponies won 25-19 and 25-15 behind the excellent serving of Taylor Johnson, who finished with five aces.

Hannah Gardner, Jada Cunningham, Jocelyn Erbert and Orear each had an ace.

Britain Folk finished the game with a teamhigh four kills and Sidney Shelby added three kills while McKenna Orear had two. Erbert also notched a kill.

Orear and Shelby each had three assists.

EIGHTH-GRADE C-TEAM The Iola eighth-grade C-Team lost in straight sets, 25-21 and 25-20 to Santa Fe Trail on Monday.

The team was led by Kelsie Finley, who had four aces.

Destiny Henry also had a strong showing with three aces.

McKenna Orear had two ace serves while Danae Cartright and Rebecca Wood each added one.

we thought about golfers.

I just missed seeing Arnie a few months ago, and will always kick myself for it. Two of my colleagues that day at Latrobe Country Club in Pennsylvania did discover him outside his beloved workshop, and reported back that he was still sharp as ever and hadn’t lost the sense of humor that endeared him to so many.

I remember the Arnie that tried to shake every hand as he made his way around Augusta National a few years back in his final Masters. I walked with him that day, and remember most the looks of delight in the faces of people as he detoured off the fairway to greet them.

Mostly, though, I’ll remember him as I remember Ali. Both out conquering the world in their prime, seemingly without a care in the world.

Ali was the greatest athlete I’ve ever seen, and Arnie was as cool as he made golf seem.

Vinny was the kind uncle whose voice was always there, allowing us to forget the daily struggle in our lives on so many nights.

Their absence leaves a void in my life, and I’m sure I’m hardly alone.

Actually, I know I’m not alone because I’ve heard from so many who feel the same way.

The playground seems awfully empty about now.
