County approves pact for new grocery

By BOB JOHNSON The Iola Register

Allen County commissioners unanimously approved a contract to bring a G&W Foods to Iola. The grocery store will be constructed on 72,000 square feet of land where the old Allen County Hospital sits, for which G&W will pay $29,000.

Commissioners signed a contract with G&W after accepting a bid from Remco, a Kansas City, Mo., company

that specializes in demolition, to raze the old hospital. The only “T” left to cross is for G&W to sign off on the contract, which it earlier found acceptable.

The medical arts building will remain in place, and in service. Moving ahead with demolition was the last ingredient for the contract to enable G&W to construct a store here.

Discussion prior to accepting Remco’s bid, the lowest of seven opened a week ago,

STRIKING A POSE FOR 4-H

Video raises questions on disputed traffic stop HEMPSTEAD, Texas (AP) — Police dashcam video shows a Texas state trooper trying to drag a black motorist from her car after a minor traffic infraction, then drawing his stun gun and threatening her for refusing to follow his orders.

The video shows the roadside encounter swiftly escalating into a shouting confrontation, with the officer holding a stun gun and warning 28-yearold Sandra Bland, “I will light you up,” for refusing to get out of her vehicle.

Three days later, Bland was found dead in her

Quote of the day Vol. 117, No. 180

Jarrett Robinson hangs his hat in Thompson’s Station, Tenn., but he is more at home in long-ago battles in the Philippines or weaving his way through the debris of the 1906 San Francisco with Gen. Fred Funston.

At the Allen County Historical Society’s summer meeting Tuesday evening, Robinson gave the 150th birthday anniversary for Iolan Funston a rousing start by refuting errors that have plagued reports about the general’s life.

Robinson has spent untold hours over the past 25 years researching Funston’s varied and illustrious life. During the course, he has found errors, and called those responsible to task. Robinson blames the errors on laziness, sloppy research, coming from a jaundiced angle for self aggrandizement and the anonymity and unaccountability of the Internet, particularly Wikipeda. “Internet sites feed off one another,” Robinson charged.

Jarrett Robinson It’s gotten so bad that even educational institutions are adopting bad resources as undisputed that mislead students and, perhaps worst of all, denigrate the memories and records of historic figures such as Funston.

Quoting a teacher of his youth, Robinson said recourse was to “study, read and research on your own,” and question any information that seemed out of place or difficult to verify.

“Chop down the tree with poisonous fruit,” he said, referring to the legal tenet

“An army marches on its stomach.”

about the inadmissibility second-hand information.

ROBINSON railed about misinformation used by Stuart Miller, a professor at San Francisco State whose book “Benevolent Assimilation” has become a go-to source for war in the Philippines of 115 years ago.

“Funston had a wonderful career,” Robinson told a small but appreciative crowd.

Obituary

Kappa Alpha Chapter installs new officers

Jake Stewart

Kappa Alpha Chapter members worked Saturday afternoon and evening in a dessert booth for the Mad Bomber Run. Homemade pies, bar cookies, water and pop were sold along with glow-in-the-dark accessories. The group brought in more than $300 and all proceeds will go toward expenses for cancer victims in the Iola area as well as other local philanthropic and charitable donations.

The Kappa Alphas met Monday night at the Townhouse West meeting room. Audrey Wagner and Jeanna Church were hostesses for the installation of officers. A salad supper

Memorial services for John Charles “Jake” Stewart will be at 1 p.m., Saturday, at the Pharoah Baptist Church with Bro. Roy Rogers officiating. A luncheon will be from noon to 1 p.m. Saturday also at the Pharoah Baptist Church.

Jake Stewart was born Nov. 9, 1955, in Fort Scott to Melvin and Florine Stewart. He passed away Friday, July 17, 2015, at his home near Okemah at Jake Stewart the age of 59.

Jake worked more than 40 years in the oilfield service. He enjoyed his work and being outdoors. Jake met a lot of people along the way and was never shy about striking up a conversation with them. Jake was an avid hunter and fisherman. Everyone knew when they went along with him the trip wouldn’t just last a couple of hours. They were lucky to be back when the sun came back up. No one would try to clean the fish because they all knew Jake would do it and that he enjoyed that kind of thing. He was also known by all of the trips he made to the store. He would be gone for hours buying who knows what. But it was those kinds of things that made him who he was. He wasn’t perfect, but he would give his shirt to those in need. He was always helping someone out and loved doing things for his grandkids. They brought joy to his life and he enjoyed teaching them things even if he didn’t know it he would figure it out. He was someone they could always call on. Jake also had a passion for guns. He collected them and would go to gun shows. Those are the things he enjoyed most.

Jake fought his illness the best he could and stayed strong for his family. He never wanted to seem weak but what he didn’t know was his family saw him as one of the strongest people they knew. He is at peace now and will forever live in their hearts.

The family would like to thank Debbie Cassady, Melody Gallman, Jim Tarwater, and the nurses at Mays Plus, Nurses to Go, Angelica Hospice, Church Family and many other family and friends for their love and support during this difficult time.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Melvin and Florine Stewart, grandparents, Mary and John Stewart and John and Violet Wagner, nephew Jason Lewis and two nieces, Tina Lewis and Jada Stewart.

Survivors include his wife Carla Stewart; three children, Shenna Stewart, Kansas, and Amy Lee and Starla Murray, Shawnee; eight grandchildren, Emilee Lever, Ethan Lever, Caylee Robisons and Gary Lee, Weleetka, Grant and Gibson French, Shawnee and Kelsey and Brody Stewart, Kansas; three sisters and brothers-in-law, Mary and Van Micheals, Texas, Gloria and Donnie Eaton, Kansas and Melva Jo and Butch Norman, Kansas and a brother, Dale and Karen Stewart, Tennessee; mother and father-in-law, Tom and Joy Collins; father-in-law, Floyd Ancell and several brothers and sisters in law and many extended family and friends.

All arrangements were handled by Parks Brothers Funeral Home, Okemah, Okla.

A memorial fund has been established in memory of John “Jake” C. Stewart at the Okemah Citizen’s State Bank.

KS cash balance to be lower than expected TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Legislative researchers are predicting that Kansas will end the fiscal year next June with nearly $20 million less than lawmakers anticipated when they raised sales and tobacco taxes to fill a projected $400 million budget gap last month.

When lawmakers left Topeka, they understood that the state would have $86 million in its cash reserves by the end of June 2016 if Gov. Sam Brownback went ahead with $50 million in cuts.

But that estimate already has been lowered, with the nonpartisan Legislative Research Department now saying the state will have about $67 million in its reserves — if Brownback makes the cuts. So far he has identified only $2 million in cuts, The Wichita Eagle

reported.

“We’re not even through the first month of the fiscal year, and we’re already down,” said Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, a Topeka Democrat. “It certainly doesn’t bode well for fiscal year 2016. . My guess is we’re going to end up in another budget shortfall situation. Deja vu.”

The estimates have been lowered because the state missed tax estimates by more than $30 million for the final three months of the previous fiscal year.

State agencies came in $16 million under budget, partially offsetting the shortage.

The state’s budget problems arose after lawmakers cut personal income taxes in 2012 and 2013 at Brownback’s urging in an effort to stimulate the economy.

Altered KPERS rules a concern for retired teachers HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) — Education authorities have raised concerns about new rules for the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System that they say could discourage retirees from teaching in Kansas classrooms.

Under the former rules, a teacher or school administrator could retire, draw a KPERS benefit and work full time for either a new school district or his or her same school district. A surcharge was paid to KPERS, either by the employer or by way of

the employer subtracting the surcharge from the employee’s salary, The Hutchinson News reported.

But new legislation changes working-afterretirement rules for KPERS participants and is expected to have the most impact on schools, particularly teachers and administrators who retire and return to work.

The new rules have a $25,000 earnings limit per year. After reaching that threshold, the employee would have to decide whether to keep working and stop receiving the KPERS

benefit, or stop working and keep receiving it.

“We’re going to have an extreme shortage if we can’t hire retirees,” said Buhler USD 313 business manager Perry McCabe, one of about 20 working retirees in USD 313.

McCabe and Gene A. Buie, executive director of United School Administrators of Kansas, said the changes come at a time when there’s an increasing challenge to fill school positions because college students are not choosing teaching as a career path, some

states are recruiting Kansas teachers and some teachers are dropping out of the profession.

“I don’t know that we have 2,500 people sitting out there without teaching jobs and are ready to go in the classroom,” Buie said.

Mark Tallman, associate executive director for advocacy for the Kansas Association of School Boards, said an expiring law meant the Legislature had to address the issue this year, but the resulting rules were “much bigger changes” than expected.

Brownback campaign seeks donation from Westar TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback’s campaign approached a Westar Energy official for a campaign debt donation while the utility is in the process of seeking a rate increase, a newspaper reported.

Documents obtained

by The Topeka CapitalJournal show a Brownback campaign official contacted Mark Schreiber, Westar’s government affairs vice president, more than a week ago looking for help retiring debt from the governor’s re-election campaign last year.

The Brownback campaign has been approaching donors for help paying down campaign debt and legal

fees. The campaign’s most recent finance report, which was filed in January, showed it had $300,000 in residual loan debt, with $200,000 owed to Brownback and $100,000 to Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer.

The contact with Schreiber takes place as Westar is requesting a $152 million rate increase from the Kansas Corporation Commission to pay for environmental upgrades, repairs at the company’s nuclear plant and reductions in storm-related outages.

The KCC, which is made up of three commissioners who are appointed by the governor and confirmed by the Senate, is set to rule

this fall on the request from Westar, which is based in Topeka and has about 700,000 customers. If the request is approved, residential customers would see a 12.1 percent increase.

When asked about the campaign’s decision to approach the Westar official, Brownback spokeswoman Eileen Hawley said Brownback’s office “does not influence the operations or decisionmaking process of the Kansas Corporation Commission, which is an independent commission.”

Westar spokeswoman Gina Penzig acknowledged that Schreiber received the Brown-

back campaign request, which was referred to the Westar Employees’ Political Action Committee. Westar has since 2003 prohibited direct corporate donations to political candidates after the company and executives faced fines stemming from Congressional donations in the 2002 election cycle.

“Our PAC board has not met to make a decision on that yet,” Penzig said.

Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka, criticized the Brownback campaign’s decision to approach Schreiber and suggested it withdraw its request.

play several instruments soon after. Their pastor had started an alcohol rehabilitation center and asked the band to play monthly at the center. Slowly but surely other churches started calling the sisters to play at events.

During the girls’ senior year of high school

they bought their mother tickets to an Isaac’s concert for her birthday.

There was also a talent contest at the concert which the sisters won.

Ben Isaacs became the producer of their first single, catching the attention of Daywind Recording Studios. The trio was then signed to Red Hen Label.

The band has played as special guests with country singer Josh Turner and has been nominated for Country Album of the Year at the Dove awards.

The name, Red Roots, comes from the girls’ fiery locks and the band’s message that the group is “rooted in the blood of Christ.”

Funston: Speaker dispels myths Continued from A1

the Philippines, captured the Filipino rebel leader Emilio Aguinaldo, was instrumental is San Francisco’s recovery from the 1906 earthquake and led the largest American military force assembled between the Civil War and World War I in the early 1900s confrontation with Mexico.

“But,” Robinson said, “I want to focus on inaccuracies,” many of which he found in Miller’s book.

Two sterling examples were that Funston ordered the execution of 35 Filipino rebels and had another 24 put to death in retaliation for a Lt. Edgar Koehler being killed by the rebels.

After thorough re-

search, Robinson said he was able to refute the first allegation as apparently materializing out of thin air. The second was dismissed because when 24 Filipinos supposedly were killed, Funston was in a different part of the Philippines, far away from where Koehler died.

In response to a letter Robinson wrote to him, Miller responded in 2004: “(I) accepted newspaper reports and editorials at face value, and should have gotten collaboration ... as the (San Francisco) Call’s editor was pretty down on Funston.”

Another error, though not as shocking, was that Funston failed his West Point entrance exam: Truth is he didn’t

fail, just didn’t have the top score. He never commanded the Presidio, an Army base in San Francisco, rather was in charge of the Department of California, which carried greater responsibility.

THE FUNSTON birthday celebration continues Saturday with music at 9 a.m. followed by wreath-laying at his statue in downtown Iola.

Maj. Gen. Lee Tafanelli, Kansas adjutant general, will have comments.

At 3 o’clock that afternoon at the Kansas National Guard Funston Memorial Armory on North State Street will be three short talks and a panel discussion, featuring Iola attorney Clyde Toland.

Video: Questions remain Continued from A1

jail cell. Authorities say she hanged herself with a black plastic garbage bag — a contention her family and supporters dispute.

The video posted online Tuesday by the Texas Department of Public Safety shows the trooper stopping Bland for failing to signal a lane change. After he hands her a written warning, the trooper remarks that Bland seems irritated.

The Illinois woman replies that she is irritated because she had changed lanes to make way for the trooper’s car.

The conversation quickly turns hostile when the officer asks Bland to put out her cigarette and she asks why she can’t smoke in her own car. The trooper then orders Bland to get out of the vehicle. She refuses, and he tells her she is under arrest.

Further refusals to get out bring a threat from the trooper to drag her out. He then pulls out a stun gun and makes the threat about lighting Bland up.

When she finally steps out of the vehicle, the trooper orders her to the side of the road. There, the confrontation continues off-camera, but it is still audible. The two keep yelling at each other as the officer tries to put Bland in handcuffs and waits for other troopers to arrive.

Still off camera, Bland can be heard protesting her arrest, repeatedly using expletives and calling the officer a “pussy.”

She screams that he’s about to break her wrists and complains that he knocked her head into the ground.

Sandra Bland Her death comes after nearly a year of heightened national scrutiny of police and their dealings with black suspects, especially those who have been killed by officers or die in police custody.

The case has resonated on social media, with posts questioning the official account and featuring the hashtags #JusticeForSandy and # W h a t H a p p e n e d To SandyBland. Others referred to #SandySpeaks, the hashtag Bland used in monologues she posted on Facebook in which she talked about police brutality and said she had a calling from God to speak out against racism and injustice.

In an affidavit released Tuesday, the trooper said that after handcuffing her for becoming combative, she swung her elbows at him and kicked him in his right shin.

Trooper Brian Encinia said he then used force “to subdue Bland to the ground,” and she continued to fight back. He arrested her for assault on a public servant.

The trooper, who has been on the force for just over a year, has been placed on administrative leave for violating unspecified police pro-

cedures and the Department of Public Safety’s courtesy policy. The agency would not address questions about whether the trooper acted appropriately by drawing his stun gun or pulling her out of the vehicle.

“Regardless of the situation — it doesn’t matter where it happens — a DPS state trooper has got an obligation to exhibit professionalism and be courteous ... and that wasn’t the case in this situation,” said Steven McCraw, the department director.

A law enforcement expert from Maryland said he was troubled by the video “from start to finish.”

Vernon Herron, a senior policy analyst with the University of Maryland Center for Health and Homeland Security, said if the trooper intended to give her a warning, that’s what he should have done, no matter what the woman said to him.

“A person’s attitude or their demeanor is not probable cause to make an arrest,” said Herron, who has more than 35 years of experience in public safety and law enforcement.

Court records show Bland had several encounters with police in Illinois and Texas over the past decade, including repeated traffic stops and two arrests for drunk driving, one of which was dismissed.

Bland was taken to the Waller County Jail about 60 miles northwest of Houston on July 10 and found dead July 13. A Texas Rangers investigation into her death is being supervised by the FBI.

How state gas taxes differ

By ELAINE S. POVICH Stateline.org (TNS)

Falling bridges and crumbling roads trumped anti-tax sentiment in more than a half-dozen states during this year’s legislative sessions, prompting them to increase gasoline and other taxes to address infrastructure needs. In some states, the taxes hadn’t gone up in decades.

Tired of waiting for federal transportation dollars, eight states, all but one of them headed

by Republican governors, either raised gas taxes or scaled back a planned cut to bring in more money: Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Nebraska, North Carolina, South Dakota and Utah. At least four states are putting the final touches on increases or are still considering them. And in California, Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown has called for a special session to determine how to finance $59 billion in freeway and road repairs.

Even in states that debated the issue but didn’t act, momentum could carry over into next year’s sessions.

Carl Davis, research director at the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, said efforts to raise state taxes to pay for roads and bridges exploded this year. In 2013 and 2014, four states (Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and Wyoming) increased their gas taxes, while Maryland, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island indexed the gas tax to either inflation or fuel

prices. Virginia approved a complicated formula that will allow the tax rate to rise with gas prices in future years.

“A lot of states realized they couldn’t put off this issue any longer,” Davis said. “They saw they couldn’t trust the federal government to raise the gas tax and they had to do something on their own.”

Efforts in Congress to increase or change the 18.4 cents per gallon federal gasoline tax have fizzled, tied up in a broader debate over a comprehensive transportation bill. Republicans remain opposed to increasing the gas tax, which hasn’t changed since 1993, and President Barack Obama did not include an increase in his long-term plan for the nation’s infrastructure.

A coalition of the business community, the transportation industry and ordinary taxpayers just trying to get to work every day drove the tax increases in the states. A widely circulated report from the American Road &

Transportation Builders Association, which listed tens of thousands of “structurally deficient” bridges in each state, helped fuel the efforts.

STATES WITH Republican governors and legislatures that raised gasoline taxes include Georgia (Gov. Nathan Deal), Idaho (Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter), North Carolina (Gov. Pat McCrory), South Dakota (Gov. Dennis Daugaard) and Utah (Gov. Gary Herbert). In Iowa, Republican Gov. Terry Branstad worked with a split legislature to raise the gas tax. Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear, a Democrat, also collaborated with a split legislature to scale back to 1.6 cents a planned 5.1 cents per gallon gas-tax cut triggered by falling gas prices.

In Nebraska, the nonpartisan but conservative legislature overrode Republican Gov. Pete Ricketts’ veto and enacted an increase of 6 cents per gallon, which will be rolled out in stages starting in January.

Meals: County to assume control of preparation, distribution Continued from A1

tive is frozen meals, delivered once a week in packages of seven.

Jail kitchen prep surfaced and was championed by County Clerk Sherrie Riebel, who pointed out financial advantage for the county.

Now, money for meals will remain in the county, transferred from Services for the Elderly Fund to jail coffers.

The county has paid $2.48 for each meal provided by Senior Services,

with a smattering of donations assuaging county costs. Transfer for each meal in the new arrangement will be $2.50, which includes enough to meet any hardware costs preparation at the jail may require. For one, said Sheriff Bryan Murphy, another refrigerator may be needed.

The county elderly fund is well-situated with $226,183 as of Tuesday. The fund is replenished by an ad valorem tax levy of 1 mill, which

this year raised about $96,000. In addition to meals, the elderly fund provides money for repairs and upgrades to senior centers under the county’s thumb — in Iola, Humboldt, LaHarpe and Moran — as well as similar expenses.

Volunteers will be expected to carry meals from the jail to senior centers, where some will be consumed and others ferried to homes.

company. Specific location of utilities, in regard to the medical arts building, might be more of a challenge than anticipated.

Also, if the retaining wall along U.S. 54 at the north edge of the property were to be removed to accommodate change in lay of the land, additional cost might arise.

That is not expected, however. Whoever develops the property, for the grocery or more likely an apartment building, will be liable for reconfiguring the grade, Commissioner Jerry Daniels interjected.

The grocery will be farther to the south, noted David Toland, who works in economic development for local governing bodies. “Their (G&W’s) engineers are awaiting (commissioners signing) the contract.

If there were any grade change, it would be with apartments.”

An overall expectation is for several apartment buildings near the grocery. Nothing definite has been decided on housing, but at least two developers have expressed interest.

Toland said Dan Williams, president of G&W Foods, “is ready for a contract, he’s ready to go.”

COMMISSIONER Jim Talkington brought up possibility of U.S. 54 being rerouted to remove the curve that has carried highway traffic around the older hospital, and since long before it was built.

Iola Administrator Carl Slaugh said he didn’t anticipate Kansas Department of Transportation initiating such a project, with a request from the city being the

trigger. Slaugh gave no indication that would occur.

A traffic study is expected to be a part of the project, to determine the best way to control motorists going to and from the complex.

One traffic control project that may come about, Slaugh said, is a crosswalk, perhaps controlled by a flashing warning light. Rationale, he said, would be the preponderance of school children, most headed for Iola Middle School, who cross U.S. 54 where Madison Avenue converges with East Street. Having a grocery and Casey’s General Store essentially across from each other is a draw for the young, he said. If apartments become a feature, they could increase the number of youths out and about.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Kasich: challenge to party orthodoxy Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who on Tuesday became the latest and perhaps last major Republican figure to enter the presidential race, may well be the Democratic Party’s worst nightmare. The question is whether he is also a nightmare for Republican primary voters.

No Republican candidate has ever reached the White House without winning Ohio. The party’s decision to hold its 2016 convention in Cleveland probably won’t do much to improve its chances in the state, which Barack Obama won twice. But what if the nominee were the state’s popular, pragmatic governor — who grew up in another important state, Pennsylvania, that Republicans would love to put in play?

Kasich has more than geography going for him. He made his name in Washington as a deficit hawk who ultimately helped broker

a bipartisan balanced budget agreement in 1997, which helped lead to large surpluses — a feat he has repeated as governor.

Yet the budget-slashing Kasich has long had a reputation for crossing party lines. He teamed up with liberals to close corporate tax loopholes.

He voted to ban the sale of assault weapons. And last year, he expanded the state’s Medicaid coverage under the Affordable Care Act. He hasn’t been shy about defending that decision. “I don’t know about you, lady,” he shot back at a wealthy party donor who criticized him for it. “But when I get to the pearly gates, I’m going to have an answer for what I’ve done for the poor.”

Kasich’s independent streak runs as deep as his Christian faith, but it remains to be seen whether he can win over the religious right and the party’s activist base. His moderate posi-

tions on education and immigration will not make it easy: He supports the Common Core education standards and is open, however reluctantly, to creating a pathway for citizenship for those here illegally.

Kasich is likely to try and talk more about other issues. He is a hawk on foreign policy who has called for putting combat troops in Iraq to fight Islamic State.

He cut taxes in Ohio by some $3 billion. And he went further than Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker to reduce the power of public-sector unions, pushing through a law restricting the issues subject to collective bargaining (although voters later repealed it).

Kasich is refreshingly direct, and his willingness to adopt unpopular positions is admirable.

Can it sell in a Republican primary? It’s good news for the party, and the country, that Kasich is going to find out.

State makes it hard for teachers Good teachers are leaving Kansas, thanks in large part to recent policymaking.

One such questionable change came Tuesday, when the Kansas State Board of Education approved allowing so-called “innovative” school districts to hire unlicensed teachers.

In 2013, the Kansas Legislature cleared the way for a number of K-12 districts to receive “innovative” designation, and be exempt from some state laws and regulations. Kansas currently has six such districts, including Hugoton.

While innovation and reasonable reform make sense, it’s necessary to consider the motivation behind any radical change.

Not surprisingly, the Innovative Districts idea came from the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a bill mill for “free market,” “limited government” policies favored by powerful corporate interests — such as school privatization for those who view education as a promising corpo-

rate frontier.

Recent ALEC-influenced legislation in Kansas included ruinous income-tax policies undermining public education and other vital state services.

And now, it’s driving more change in public schools.

Proponents of eliminating Kansas’ licensure requirement say it will give school districts more flexibility in attracting candidates for tough-to-fill teaching positions, particularly in technical fields such as engineering.

Hugoton school officials also cited a need for more Spanish-speaking instructors due to a growing immigrant population.

Such difficulties do demand attention. But enlisting help from people not educated on how to teach presents its own challenges.

Licensed, certified teachers have made the commitment to become professionals in the unique field of education.

They’re charged with understanding more than

a particular subject. For example, they must learn how to teach students at different developmental levels and with various learning styles.

Studies show traditional teacher preparation leads to better results in academic achievement, and with younger, at-risk students in particular. (Unlicensed instructors at least would be required to work with certified teachers on teaching skills.)

Some supporters of the licensure waiver say it wasn’t designed to remedy a teacher shortage.

Maybe not, but they should acknowledge how supporting the teaching profession and K-12 school funding would improve the educational landscape.

And, how doing otherwise only will help fuel the exodus of good public school teachers — just as right-wing forces promoting corporate-driven education would prefer.

Sergio Campanini, vice president and general manager of Berg Manufacturing Company, has announced

Campanini also reported completion of the transfer of Berg Manufacturing and administrative operations from Des Plaines, a Chicago suburb, to Iola.

Gov’s campaign debt Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback probably doesn’t lose too much sleep about his lingering campaign debt. Surely he can always go to Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer, if not his own personal fortune, to write off about $255,000 owed from the campaign.

The deficit remains more than six months after his reelection, the Topeka CapitalJournal reported, and Brownback is personally working the phones to raise post-election cash.

It isn’t all that surprising or unusual that a campaign would have a post-election debt. Brownback faced a tougher-than-usual re-election fight against Democrat and former State Rep. Paul Davis.

Brownback isn’t the first to accrue some debt to get across the finish line.

But he might be having a tougher time fundraising postelection given his seemingly greater unpopularity. He was forced to twist the arms of legislators this past session for a massive sales and tobacco tax increase to cover the revenue loss from his failed income tax cuts. And he continues to alienate public educators, civil servants and those who depend on social services.

But fortunately Brownback and Colyer have deep personal pockets. In fact, it is to them that the campaign owes the debt — $200,000 to Brownback and $100,000 to Colyer, with just $45,000 cash on hand.

Surely these underwriters will understand firsthand what

it takes to get elected when a candidate has a weak record of public service success. It takes money to buy television ads and mailers to manipulate perception of that record and to uncover and take advantage of some long-ago indiscretion of the opposing candidate.

If not ultimately forgiven by Brownback and Colyer themselves, the loans could get covered by donors still willing to curry favor with a governor having three legislative sessions remaining in his final term. And those who have benefited from the Brownback economic agenda are deep-pocketed, too.

The campaign drew attention when Colyer made a series of three loans of $500,000 each to the campaign. Two were quickly repaid, suggesting the loans weren’t made to cover immediate campaign expenses so much as to bolster the Brownback campaign’s coffers during the reporting period.

That’s apparently not illegal, as a federal grand jury that looked into the loans declined to pursue charges. That kind of activity just means the public needs to pay more attention and not put much stock into measuring where a candidate is in the election horse race by how much he has raised, not when a good chunk of that figure is from moneys lent by the candidates themselves.

Maybe, instead, the public should be looking at what the campaign balance sheet looks like after the election.

Doctorow dead at 84 NEW YORK (AP) — Writer E.L. Doctorow, who wryly reimagined the American experience in such novels as “Ragtime” and “The March” and applied its lessons to the past and the future in fiction and nonfiction, has died. He was 84.

He died Tuesday at a New York hospital from complications of lung cancer, his son, Richard Doctorow, confirmed.

Considered one of the major authors of the 20th century, Doctorow enjoyed critical and popular success over his 50-year career. He won the National Book Award for fiction in 1986 for “World’s Fair” and the National Book Critics Circle award in 1989 for “Billy Bathgate” and in 2005 for “The March.”

President Barack Obama praised Doctorow on Twitter as “one of America’s greatest novelists.”

“His books taught me much, and he will be missed,” Obama wrote on his @POTUS account.

“I don’t know what I set out to do,” Doctorow said in 2006 after the publication of “The March,” his acclaimed Civil War novel. “Someone pointed out to me a couple of years ago that you could line them up and in effect now with this book, 150 years of American history. ... And this was

entirely unplanned.”

Edgar Lawrence Doctorow was born Jan. 6, 1931, in New York. He was named after Edgar Allan Poe, whom he often disparaged as America’s “greatest bad writer.” His father ran a music store, and his mother was a pianist.

As a youngster he read widely and decided he would become a writer at age 9.

“I began to ask two questions while I was reading a book that excited me,” he recalled.

“Not only what was going to happen next but how is this done? How is it that these words on the page make me feel the way I’m feeling? This is the line of inquiry that I think happens in a child’s mind, without him even knowing he has aspirations as a writer.”

Doctorow graduated from the Bronx High School of Science and from Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio. He attended graduate school at Columbia University but left without completing a doctorate. He also served in the U.S. Army, stationed in Germany.

“Ragtime” in 1975 served up a Dickensian stew of Gilded Age New York, mixing historical figures such as J.P. Morgan, Harry Houdini and Emma Goldman with invented ones.

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) — The odds of a Grand Slam already were long simply because no one had ever swept the four professional majors in one year. If that’s the best measure, this sobering piece of history might make Jordan Spieth feel even worse.

No one ever got another chance.

Dating to 1960, when Arnold Palmer hatched the modern version of the Grand Slam on his way to St. Andrews, no one came closer to the third leg than Spieth. He was tied for the lead with two holes to play.

Two pars would have been enough for a playoff. A par and a birdie would have sent golf into hysteria.

Instead, he missed a par putt on the low side at the 17th, and hit his drive so far left on the closing hole of the Old Course that Spieth was between clubs and had an awkward angle to a front left pin tucked just above the ridge that leads to the Valley of Sin.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Since Alex Gordon went on the disabled list, the Kansas City Royals have won seven of 10 with Jarrod Dyson and Paulo Orlando replacing him in left field.

Dyson hit a two-run single in the eighth inning to lead the Kansas City Royals to a 3-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night.

“Both guys have played great defense and got some clutch hits for us,” Royals manager Ned Yost said.

“They’ve been key base hits in key situations.”

Dyson scored later in the inning on Alcides Escobar’s single to put the Royals up 3-0, and they won for the 11th time in 14 games.

“I was sitting on a fastball the whole time,” Dyson said.

“I wanted something up to get to the outfield. I didn’t want to hit the ball on the ground.”

Wade Davis (6-1) struck out Andrew McCutchen swing-

ing to end the eighth with two Pirates on base to pick up the victory.

Greg Holland survived a shaky ninth, allowing a run on four hits and a walk, but struck out Gregory Polanco with the bases loaded for his 21st save in 24 opportunities.

Pirates starter Gerrit Cole (13-4), who leads the majors in victories, was charged with all three runs and five hits in 7 1/3 innings.

With one out in the eighth, Omar Infante reached on a fielding error charged to second baseman Neil Walker.

“Plain and simple, I missed the ball,” Walker said. “I feel worse than anybody about putting Cole in that situation, especially that one pitch. It didn’t do anything. It just went right under my glove.”

Alex Rios’ single moved Infante to third and Rios took second on the throw to third.

“I was trying to go down and in and I left it middle-up. He burned me on that pitch earlier in the game, so I’m kind of frustrated that I made the same mistake twice. That put two very good runners in scoring position.”

Dyson followed with a sharp single to right, driving in Infante and Rios. When Gregory Polanco fumbled the ball, Dyson advanced to second, stole third and scored on Escobar’s single.

Royals starter Jason Vargas left in the second inning after throwing 26 pitches with pain in his left elbow and will undergo a MRI Wednesday to detect the extent of the injury.

CHICAGO (AP) — Cardinals slugger Matt Holliday hadn’t homered in 10 weeks, but he knew immediately he really nailed one.

Holliday hit his sixth career grand slam off White Sox starter Carlos Rodon’s first pitch to him in the fourth inning, powering Michael Wacha and St. Louis past Chicago 8-5 on Tuesday night.

Holliday connected for the first time since May 12, recording just his fourth homer this season. He returned last Friday after missing 31 games because of a strained right quadriceps.

“I’ve hit a few of them,” Holliday said. “I knew I got it pretty good.

“I’m just trying to be aggressive early, trying to get something to hit hard, preferably in the air.”

Although Holliday is under orders not to push his injured thigh too hard, he didn’t have to after his drive sailed deep into the left-center field bleachers and staked the Cardinals to a 7-0 lead. He added a single and scored a second run in going 2 for 4.

Big 12: Issues to ponder in 2015 DALLAS (AP) — TCU has gone from Big 12 newcomer to preseason favorite after only three seasons, eighttime champion Oklahoma has an unprecedented title drought for coach Bob Stoops and West Virginia finally feels experienced in the conference.

Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury still has to settle on a starting quarterback, the position he played for the Red Raiders, former Oklahoma State quarterback Mike Gundy had an early unveiling of his new starter and 24th-year Kansas State coach Bill Snyder has seven quarterbacks on his roster.

While Baylor goes for a third consecutive Big 12 title, Iowa State didn’t win a conference game last season.

David Beaty makes his head coaching debut at Kansas and Charlie Strong wants a winning record after a 6-7 start to his Texas tenure.

With Big 12 media days complete and preseason practice only a couple of weeks away, a few things to ponder while waiting for the first games Sept. 3: OUTSIDE THE LEAGUE:

Baylor, Kansas State and Oklahoma State are the Big 12 teams that won’t play a non-conference game against a team from another of the Power Five conferences.

Texas plays its opener at Notre Dame and has a home game against California, while TCU starts the season at Minnesota.

“We’re actually working on our schedule to maybe make it look better to the

public and help us, if it does come down to that, but I’ve never met a good loss or met a bad win,” said Baylor coach Art Briles, whose team shared the Big 12 title with TCU last season after winning it outright in 2013.

Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said there are ongoing discussions about scheduling among the league’s athletic directors, but no mandates even though each team’s non-conference games affect the strength of schedule for every other Big 12 squad.

“I don’t think it means that everybody has to play three top 20 teams in their pres e a s o n , ” Bob Bowlsby Bowlsby said. “I also think it doesn’t mean that everybody has to play three that are FCS or in the bottom of FBS. So I think there’s a happy medium there.”

STRONG

INFLUENCE:

In his first season, Charlie Strong dismissed or suspended several Texas players for disciplinary reasons.

Now he’s excited about the goal to build a team — “You just have to get everyone on board,” he said.

The Longhorns won the league’s last national championship a decade ago, but their last Big 12 title was in 2009.

B3 B3

Column: Slam’s slim odds Continued from A1

The Kansas City Royals’ Jarrod Dyson (1) celebrates after scoring on a single by Alcides Escobar in the eighth inning Tuesday. JOHN SLEEZER/KANSAS CITY STAR/TNS

Royals: Dyson with key hit Continued from B1 2-1 pitch for a ball to Brent Morel with one out in the second.

The Pirates had a run removed in the second, which began with a Starling Marte fly hitting high off the left-field wall and bouncing into the Royals’ bullpen.

It was initially ruled a home run, but was overturned on a crew chief challenge and ruled a ground-rule double.

Major League Baseball released a statement on the ruling following the game, saying the replay “definitely deter-

mined” the ball struck below the top of the wall and bounced over. Marte was stranded at third.

ON THIS DATE

On July 21, 1978, 20-year-old Royals outfielder Clint Hurdle went 3-for-3 with a home run and six RBIs against the Rangers.

Hurdle is the current manager of the Pirates.

TRAINER’S ROOM

Pirates: LHP Francisco Liriano threw a bullpen session with no issues and will start Thursday against the

Nationals. A stiff neck prevented Liriano from starting Saturday. ... C Francisco Cervelli was held out with a bruised right wrist.

UP NEXT

Pirates: RHP Charlie Morton is 3-7 with a 4.43 ERA in 12 career starts in interleague play, including a June 28, 2009, loss to the Royals.

Royals: RHP Edinson Volquez, who went 9-1 with a 1.85 ERA in his final 17 starts last season with Pittsburgh, will start tonight against the Pirates.

Football: QB battle at OU Continued from B1 season about the suspensions,” Strong said.

“They were given plenty of opportunities to do what was asked of them.”

ARE YOU EXPERIENCED? Dana Hol-

gorsen, whose 2011 debut at West Virginia came a year before the Mountaineers joined the Big 12, said he has potentially the best depth of any team he has been involved with in more than two decades coaching.

Nine offensive and 10 defensive starters are among 44 returning lettermen.

“A lot of the guys that are on our team right now are guys that have been there and done that, understand what the Big 12 is all about, understand the style of ball, understand the personnel,” he said. “We’re in a totally different position than we have been in the past.”

WVU is 11-16 in Big 12 games since entering the league after consecutive Big East titles.

QBs NORTH OF RED RIVER: Oklaho-

ma State took the redshirt off highly touted freshman quarterback Mason Rudolph in the 11th game last season.

Then he helped direct a big comeback

in the regular-season Bedlam finale for an overtime win at Oklahoma that got the Cowboys eligible for a bowl game they won.

Rudolph still hasn’t played a home game for Oklahoma State, which opens the season at Central Michigan.

Stoops, whose Sooners have gone consecutive seasons without a Big 12 title for the first time in his 16 seasons, disputes those who assume transfer Baker Mayfield is already the starting quarterback over returning junior starter Trevor Knight.

Stoops instead describes a tight battle.

“I know it’s popular for everyone to act like a certain guy has already got the job,” Stoops said.

“That couldn’t be further from the truth.”

at that — of spectator on the steps of the Royal & Ancient clubhouse as Zach Johnson won a three-man playoff to join a select group of names on the claret jug.

Kel Nagle, Lee Trevino and Ernie Els were the other three players who ended the quest for a Grand Slam. All of them are in the World Golf Hall of Fame. It’s no longer a stretch to think Johnson might join them one day. In an era where it’s hard to win anywhere on the PGA Tour, and when there is such a premium on power, the 39-year-old Johnson has 12 wins and two majors in his 12 years on tour.

It’s hard to dismiss those numbers.

As for Spieth?

“It’s a tough feeling being that close in a major. It doesn’t matter the historical element of it,” Spieth said. “I believe I’ll have plenty of opportunities like I did today.”

If he’s talking about winning another major, don’t bet against him. Las Vegas already has installed him as the favorite at the PGA Championship.

The Grand Slam is another matter.

Palmer was 30 when he first tried for the Grand Slam. He thought he might get another crack at it when he won the Masters in 1962 and was tied for the lead going into the final round of the U.S. Open at Oakmont.

Nicklaus, a 22-year-old tour rookie, shot 69 in the final round and then beat the King in a playoff the next day. Palmer

won one more Masters in 1964 and was one shot out of the lead in the U.S. Open that year until fading on the final day at Congressional.

Nicklaus was 32 when he closed with a 66 in the final round at Muirfield while going for the Grand Slam in 1972.

He thought it might be good enough until Trevino chipped in for par on the 17th hole and made par up the 18th for a one-shot victory.

Nicklaus won the Masters again in 1975, but in the U.S. Open at Medinah, he shot 72 in the final round and wound up two shots out of a playoff.

Most surprising was Woods based solely on his level of dominance.

Woods was 26 when he took himself out of the Grand Slam in 2002 with an 81 in the third round. He was back on top of his game in 2005 when he won the Masters, and he looked like the player to beat in the U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 until Michael Campbell stood his ground and won by two.

Woods was the runnerup. Woods won five more majors, though never a Masters.

Spieth is 21.

He at least has youth on his side.

Spieth dominated Augusta National with a wire-to-wire victory. But the U.S. Open required some help.

Dustin Johnson missed a half-dozen putts inside 10 feet on the back nine, including a threeputt par from 12 feet on the final hole at Chambers Bay that cost him a spot in the playoff.

At the British Open, he

had to contend with the likes of Jason Day, Louis Oosthuizen and Zach Johnson.

Yes, he has closed out his share of tournaments.

“This just wasn’t one of those,” he said. “It’s hard to do that every single time.”

Woods said after winning the 1997 Masters that the Grand Slam was a matter of winning the right four weeks of the year. By the end of that year, when he didn’t win another major, he said it was difficult just to contend in four majors a year.

Having done it once, Spieth will be on the short list of players who are asked about a Grand Slam after winning the first one.

In the meantime, there is much history he can chase, even if it isn’t the holy grail.

Ben Hogan (1953) and Woods (2000) are the only players to have captured three majors in one year. No one has ever won all three American-based majors, and Spieth will get that chance next month in the PGA Championship.

And if that doesn’t work out?

Spieth already has $9.17 million, and with a World Championship, one more major and four lucrative FedEx Cup playoff events, Spieth is within reach of becoming the first $11 million winner in golf.

He turns 22 next week and Monday crossed the $17 million mark in career earnings.

End of the slam. Just not the end of the road.

Carlos Rodon (55) reacts after hitting the St. Louis Cardinals’ Jhonny Peralta.

JOHN J. KIM/CHICAGO TRIBUNE/TNS

Cardinals: beat White Sox Continued from B1 “It was great to see him hit a ball like he can,” St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said.

“We just like having him back on our club.

He’s just a big piece.”

Mark Reynolds added a solo shot in the fifth.

Wacha (11-3) gave up five runs in five innings.

Trevor Rosenthal pitched the ninth for his 28th save in 30 chances.

Wacha retired the first nine he faced before giving up all five Chicago runs in the fourth and fifth.

Matheny pulled him after the fifth and 100 pitches.

“I felt really good throughout he first three, then just left some balls up in the zone,” Wacha said.

“I lost control of fastball command and they didn’t miss the mistakes the last cou-

ple of innings I was out there.”

Stephen Piscotty, St. Louis’ top hitting prospect, made his major league debut playing left field. He had an infield single in four at-bats and struck out twice.

Yadier Molina drove in two runs and Matt Carpenter added an RBI for the Cardinals, who were swept by the White Sox in St. Louis three weeks ago.

Rodon (3-3) was tagged for seven hits in four innings as Chicago lost its third in a row.

“Even the last time out, (Rodon) got himself in some trouble and got out of it,” White Sox manager Robin Ventura said.

“This one didn’t work out that way. Holliday had the big homer that really knocked him out of this one.”

White Sox rookie Tyler Saladino hom-

ered for the second straight game. He and Geovany Soto homered off Wacha in the fifth.

Four Cardinals relievers combined for four scoreless innings, handing the White Sox their fourth loss in five games since the All-Star break.

Carpenter ended an 0-for-17 slump with an RBI single in the second.

TRAINER’S ROOM

Cardinals: RHP Mitch Harris (right groin strain) was sent to Triple-A Memphis to begin a 20-day rehab assignment. ...

OF Jason Heyward started in right field after exiting Saturday night’s game again the Mets because of leg cramps. Heyward, who also had a head cold, didn’t start on Sunday, but pinch hit in an 18-inning 3-1 loss to New York.

Barcelona defenseman Douglas weaves through the LA Galaxy defense in the first half of an International Champions Cup match at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., on Tuesday. LUIS SINCO/LOS ANGELES TIMES/TNS

Rose Bowl record set in friendly PASADENA, Calif.

(AP) — The record Rose Bowl crowd of 93,226 largely wore scarlet and blue, chanting and cheering on mighty Barcelona’s solid seasonopening performance against the LA Galaxy.

By the final minutes, many of those same fans were roaring for the local team’s reserves as they stayed competitive with a European superpower.

Luis Suarez scored in the 45th minute, and Barcelona opened its U.S. preseason tour with a 2-1 victory over the defending MLS champions Tuesday night.

Sergi Roberto also scored in the 56th minute as the UEFA Champions League winners largely controlled their first match of the new year, delighting the biggest crowd for a club soccer game involving an MLS team in U.S. history.

“Considering we’ve only practiced about seven days and had a lot of traveling, overall I come away with a good sensation,” Barcelona coach Luis Enrique said through a translator.

“I’m happy with the way the team played overall.

The intensity was similar to what we’ve seen in practice.”

The record crowd largely supported Barce-

lona despite the absence of Lionel Messi and Neymar, who stayed home from the International Champions Cup tour to stay fresh for the games that count.

Dani Alves and Claudio Bravo also were unavailable because of the Gold Cup. Yet the Galaxy took consolation in a solid effort despite missing several of their own regulars — and their second-half lineup filled with youngsters even got a goal. Tommy Meyer scored on a header off a pass from Mika Vayrynen late in secondhalf injury time, denying Barcelona of a clean sheet.

“I’m really speechless to be able to play on the same field with such great professional athletes, people I’ve watched on TV for so long,” said Ariel Lassiter, a 20-yearold forward from the Galaxy’s reserve team.

“To be able to see where I want to be in the future, to imagine being in their shoes, just encourages me to work harder.”

MLS MVP Robbie Keane and new arrival Steven Gerrard played the first half for the Galaxy, who were short-handed with four regulars and new signee Giovani Dos Santos all away on Gold Cup international duty.

Barcelona substituted seven players at halftime, using Gerard Pique and Andres Iniesta, while the Galaxy changed their entire lineup, largely using development team players.

The Galaxy still hung in against the mighty La Liga champions despite struggling for shots, markedly improving on their 7-0 loss to Manchester United on the same field a year ago.

“Some of these kids are 19 years old, and it’s a fabulous experience for them,” Galaxy coach Bruce Arena said. “I don’t think Keane and Gerrard get as much out of these games as the younger players do.”

Gerrard teamed with Suarez at Liverpool two seasons ago, and the former Reds shared a hug while taking the field before trading jerseys at halftime.

Barcelona arrived in Southern California just two days ago, and soccer fan Kobe Bryant visited their training Monday.

The Lakers great also stopped by the Galaxy’s workout to meet Gerrard.

Barcelona also debuted its new home jerseys with horizontal blue-and-red stripes, flouting 115 seasons of vertical-stripe tradition with the Nike kits.

Barcelona dominated

possession from the opening minutes and held LA without a shot in the first half, but the Galaxy hung on despite missing star defender Omar Gonzalez with the U.S. national team.

Suarez finally broke through when he controlled an over-the-head pass from Marc Bartra and knocked it past Rowe shortly before halftime.

The Galaxy began their existence with home games at the Rose Bowl in 1996, but they’ve lost all four of their exhibitions against European powers at the famed stadium since they moved south to Carson’s StubHub Center in 2003.

Barcelona beat the Galaxy 2-1 at the Rose Bowl in 2009, with another pro-Barca crowd booing former Real star David Beckham every time he touched the ball.

Enrique declined to give an update on the status of Pedro, only saying he had spoken to the forward about his playing future. Manchester United reportedly is targeting the Spanish international.

“I’m not going to say what I said, or what he told me,” Enrique said of Pedro, who played the first half.

“It’s the decision of the player. When he says something, then I’ll say something.”

Manchester United beats Earthquakes SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Coach Louis van Gaal is mixing and matching his lineups and found few highlights worth mentioning from Manchester United’s latest preseason victory.

Juan Mata and Memphis Depay scored five minutes apart in the first half, and Manchester United drew a big Bay Area crowd as the Red Devils beat the San Jose Earthquakes 3-1 on Tuesday night for another win in the International Champions Cup. “Nobody is secure of his positon in the team,” van Gaal said. “You have to win your position on the pitch.”

Andreas Pereira added another goal on a header off Jesse Lingard’s cross in the 61st minute for Manchester United. Van Gaal went with his second 10 players in the field after halftime before a packed stadium.

Not even new midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger, among the second-half subs, was immune to the criticism.

“He was also bad,” van Gaal said. “There

was one highlight I think and that was Pereira. Players can play bad and certainly when you have only six days training session in your legs and you have to play 45 minutes, everybody can think that it’s easy to step in, but it is not easy. The first match he played very well and now he played bad. But that is also a process.”

After his recent departure from Bayern Munich, Schweinsteiger will make his highly anticipated Premier League debut when the schedule begins next month. He played for the World Cup-winning German team last summer in Brazil.

Despite his disappointment in the second group, van Gaal is much happier with this year’s leadup to the upcoming Premier League season than the last — with the top-notch facilities and weather out West to van Gaal’s preference.

Mata scored in the 32nd minute when he dribbled just inside the 18-yard box, hit the right crossbar and the ball bounced into the net af-

Depay got his turn soon after when he connected in the 37th minute.

“It’s a game to try to get fitter physically and to get a rhythm of games. It’s important to win because it’s good for your confidence,” Mata said.

Fatai Alashe made a sliding one-touch goal

Heart attack still possible after triple bypass Dear Dr. Roach: My friend had a triple bypass last August. He still has problems. At a recent visit to the cardiologist, he was told that one of the grafts has fallen away. What does this mean? Where is that blood going? The doctor says he still has coronary heart disease, and they are trying new meds. What does this mean for him — could he have another heart attack? — P.B. Answer: A coronary bypass surgery is the placement of a new blood vessel to allow blood to go around an obstruction in one of the vessels that supply the heart muscle with blood. The new blood vessel can be taken from the patient’s own vein, usually the saphenous vein in the leg.

Or, it can come from an artery, usually the lift inferior mammary artery (LIMA). The new blood vessels are referred to as “grafts.”

In a “triple bypass,”

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health three grafts are created.

These grafts improve blood flow to the heart and improve long-term survival for a subset of people with coronary artery disease. However, the grafts are subject to blockages themselves, either through blood clotting or from developing the same cholesterol and calcium plaques as the native coronary arteries.

When a graft no longer carries blood, we usually say it has “failed,” but it sounds like your friend’s cardiologist used the term “fallen away.” This doesn’t mean the graft became unattached, a situation that would lead to death in seconds. That is something cardiac surgeons take great care to prevent.

Medications — such as aspirin, beta block-

ers and statins — also reduce the risk of heart attack and death in people with coronary heart disease, especially when combined with a heart-healthy diet and a good exercise program.

However, they only the reduce risk of, not completely prevent, a heart attack. A rough estimate is that 75 percent of people who undergo bypass surgery will be free of coronary events five years after surgery.

Dear Dr. Roach: I have a seborrheic keratosis on my face (cheek), and I was wondering what you thought was the best method for removal that would give optimal cosmetic results? Also, are there certain foods, vitamins/ supplements or creams that could help? — T.A. Answer: A seborrheic keratosis is a common, benign skin condition.

It appears as a raised, slightly bumpy lesion, usually brownish, and can occur anywhere on

the body. They often look as though they could be peeled off, but don’t attempt to do that. They don’t need to be treated, but many people find them unsightly and want them removed.

Seb Ks, as they often are called, are treated with either liquid nitrogen or are surgically removed. Both methods usually provide very good to excellent cosmetic results, but a recent study showed that liquid nitrogen freezing generally provides better cosmetic results, and it’s easier for the patient. A dermatologist with lots of experience can make a personalized recommendation for you based on the lesion, its location and your skin.

I could not find reliable evidence that any foods or supplements can prevent or treat these. Creams can cover them up but not get rid of them. Electricity and laser are less common treatments.
