New Orleans braces for Isaac NEW ORLEANS — Seven years after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, mayors and governors along the Gulf Coast issued dire warnings about Tropical Storm Isaac as it bore down Monday, building toward hurricane strength. Forecasters predicted tropicalstorm-force winds Monday night and hurricane-force winds early

this morning. Isaac was expected to build into a Category 2 hurricane, with sustained winds approaching 100 mph, the National Hurricane Center said late Monday. Isaac is huge — about 350 miles across — and slow-moving, with the potential to linger after landfall and lash the area with rain and high winds. The governors

tors. More importantly, the hot temperatures put participants’ health at risk, he said. “Most kids don’t want to be out there,� at those temperatures, Wicoff said. Recreation Director Brad Yoder had presented councilmen with a proposal based on recommendations by the American College of Sports Medicine. At temperatures of 106 to 115 degrees, games would be shortened, depending on which league was affected. Other safety measures, such as ensuring water was available at each ball diamond, also would be implemented. Several council members agreed with Wicoff ’s contention. “Young kids at that age may not realize they’re at risk,� Councilman Nancy Ford said. Councilman Steve French, meanwhile, said toughening the policy would put the onus on the council, and not on parents or coaches who might feel compelled to leave youngsters out on the baseball or softball diamond in extremely hot weather. Councilman Don Becker, meanwhile, pointed to the council’s decision June 25 to cancel games that day after they had started. While the council received criticism from several parents and coaches for the cancellation, Becker noted one child was taken to the hospital that night for heat-related issues. He, too, endorses Wicoff ’s proposal Yoder was instructed to bring back new proposals, triggering cancellations or delays at 105 degrees. The rec department

council members approved a request to allow Allen Community College use of the Recreation Community Building at Riverside Park Sept. 21 and 22 for a volleyball tournament, and for the college to charge admission. The event is not a fundraiser, council members were told. Rather, proceeds would offset the costs incurred for hosting the event. Typically, those charging admission to an event on city grounds must receive council approval. The council approved Yoder’s request to add ACC to the list of entities, such as USD 257, allowed to use city facilities free of charge. Council members also approved a request by Yoder for the city to implement background checks for coaches and other volunteers. ARMED WITH a twoyear, $381,174 grant, the Iola Fire Department will soon expand by three employees. Fire Chief Donald Leapheart and Mark Michael were on hand at Monday’s meeting to discuss the city’s SAFER grant, awarded by the Department of Home-

land Security. Iola’s was the only municipal fire department in Kansas to receive the SAFER grant, Michael said. The funds will be used to pay salaries of three additional firefighters within the department, bringing to number of IFD employees to 19. The city applied for the grant earlier this year after learning requirements had been shifted, Michael explained. The funds come from federal stimulus monies. No longer will the city be required to retain employees after the grant expires, a previous requirement. As such, new firefighters will be informed at the outset their jobs will not be guaranteed after the grant expires. The city’s only requirement is to ensure the department remains fully staffed over the next two years. The city was not required to provide matching funds, either. Ideally, having additional personnel on duty will reduce overtime, Michael said, although he stopped short of guaranteeing all overtime would be eliminated. After all, another Joplin tornado or Hurricane Katrina could occur at any moment. One way to reduce overtime, City Administrator Carl Slaugh said, would be to avoid calling in two employees when ambulances are dispatched on runs. The “two-in, two-out� policy had been in place for several years. With the grant funds on hand, the city will need to expand its budget authority, Slaugh said, because the added salaries were not included in the city’s 2013 spending plan.

city’s auditors be brought into the mix as well. Toland and Nancy Ford were sworn in Monday evening as council members, replacing Rowe and Kendall Callahan, who were recalled by Iola voters earlier this month. Callahan and Rowe had been strong backers of the purchasing policy’s implementation in the past, urging the council to hold off on any changes until the policy was in place and the city learned its true strengths and weaknesses.

now grandparents. She and her family moved to Colony, where her husband’s parents were living. Michael and her family have been living in Colony for 20 years. She worked at Haldex until it shut down in fall 2010. After going back to school for health care administration, she began volunteering at the Uniting for Excellence capital campaign. Michael is not a stranger to health issues, which is where her drive to help in the health care field came from. She has taken care of family members with medical conditions and she herself has needed medical attention. She saw the need of a substantial medical field in a small community and wanted to become a part of its expansion, she said. “My goal is to make sure we have good doctors and we have good services because to have the ability to take care of people here instead of them having to look elsewhere, to me is huge.� Michael said. “I want to see Allen County get better, get bigger and build up as a community.�

BECKER ALSO proposed the city take a look at changing its newly developed purchasing policy, which he dubbed cumbersome and inefficient. Becker said the policy should be reshaped and made more “business friendly.� He urged the council seek input from city staff and local business representatives as the policy is amended. Two councilmen supported taking another look at the purchasing policy. Steve French said all on the council realized the purchasing policy would need to be tweaked eventually, while David Toland stressed the importance of keeping the policy as “Iola-frendly, first, and Allen County-friendly, second� as possible. “It’s not my intent that we gut� the policy, Toland said. “We have a document on which we can work.� French suggested the

that I was more than what they were seeing,� Michael said. “A lot of these people I had been interviewing with showed up with their suits and hair done, but as a volunteer sometimes I would show up in jeans and a T-shirt. They were seeing the hard work I had been doing.� Being a volunteer proved to be beneficial for not only Michael but the foundation as well. “It has been a huge help for me, taking over as the executive director, knowing about a lot of this stuff already,� Michael said. “It also helped the foundation because they didn’t have to train someone new,� Michael said. Michael said she had a substantial amount of leadership training through the Marine Corps. She also is involved in the Southeast Kansas Leadership and Faith classes. A few years ago, after being laid off from her job at Haldex Brake, she returned to school where she took health care administration classes, which helped further qualify her for the position. “You always hear about this is what should happen, being a volunteer suddenly turned into a job,� Michael said.

to purchase equipment. “Right now, 80 percent of the ACCF’s focus is directed to the Uniting for Excellence campaign,� Michael said. The foundation has been able to secure $1.2 million in commitments and $200,000 in cash. A grant for $500,000 in matching funds for endowed gifts has been awarded by the Kansas Health Foundation and an application for $250,000 in tax credits was recently awarded, though downsized to $190,000 from the Kansas Department of Commerce. The hospital is scheduled to open in the fall of 2013. After the necessary money is raised and the hospital opens, Michael will begin working more on other aspects of the community and branching out. “Even though we are getting our feet wet with Allen County right now, we would like to expand and join in with other counties, and make it better for all southeast Kansas,� Michael said. Also working with the foundation is Thrive Allen County. “Thrive has been doing a lot of community foundation work,� Michael said. “Now we can go and build and work hand in hand with the people at Thrive to improve on other aspects of the community, such as the school and other things.�

pared to what he would have received had he still been employed by the city. “I don’t know if you want that or anything else,� Becker told Hunt, who was in the audience at Monday’s meeting. “I want to open a dialogue because I don’t think we need any more lawsuits. Had this been done against me, I would have issued a lawsuit.� Hunt’s former position remains unfilled, but budgeted. Roxanne Hutton, city clerk, has assumed much of Hunt’s responsibilities managing city employee vacation requests, health insurance issues and other concerns of the force. Hunt said after the meeting he was surprised by Becker’s comments because Becker had made no indication he would make such a proposal beforehand. Hunt expressed gratitude to Becker’s comments but declined to speak further about the issue.

Above, Raegan Trester rushed out to give crossing guard Phyllis Reed a hug before her mother, Mandy Trester, walked her into the elementary school building.

HUMBOLDT — Neil Hartwig isn’t one to “toot his own horn,� but in his 70 and older class competition at the World Horseshoe Pitching Tournament in Knoxville, Tenn., he brought home the third place trophy after tying for second. “The other guy had a better ringer percentage than I did,� Hartwig said. “So, he got second and I settled for third.� Of the 350 in the Elder (70 years old and older) Division, Hartwig’s ringer percentage placed him in D1 class. “Normally there are 12 classes in each division with 16 throwers in each class,� he said. “There’s A1 and A2, B1 and B2 and so on.� After three days of competition, Hartwig finished with 11 wins and only four losses. At 87, Hartwig said he has played and been interested in horseshoe pitching most of his life. “I’ve been pitching a

The Lions Club is an active group that might be found building a wheelchair ramp or giving vision tests to children. Collecting cans is an ongoing endeavor for the Lions, who have buildings called “can huts� set up where residents may deposit cans. “We have collected cans for over 10 years,� Middendorf said. “The ‘huts’ are located at Moon’s Hometown Market and another one at Second and Bridge Street. H & H (Grill) saves cans for us and I think Reb’s Place does, too. Kirk

Barfoot will collect cans along the road.� Thursday the Lions gathered the cans they had accumulated the last three months and took them to Ray’s Metal Depot in LaHarpe, where they weighed in at 540 pounds. “This was a big load. We had to beef up our trailer with wire sides to haul them, plus we had the back of three pickup trucks full,� Middendorf said. Middendorf hopes local residents continue to deposit cans in the huts and they’ll have to make another trip to LaHarpe.

supposed to be in Utah.� He has a favorite pair of “American brand� horseshoes he always uses, which helps him maintain a ringer percentage in the fifties. He estimates going to six sanctioned events throughout the year where the average of his top four ringer percentages determines his class placement at the world competition. “In my class, the percentage ranged from 53 percent to 51.5 percent. That’s a close margin,� he pointed out. More than 1,000 pitchers were entered in the tour nament put on by the National Horseshoe Pitching Association, with ages ranging from 18 and younger in the Junior Class to as old as 92, and

included women competitors. “There were only about 25 from Kansas there,� Hartwig said. “It’s fun meeting up with people you’ve met before, but you might not throw against them if they are in a different class. They’re all just a wonderful bunch of people and easy to visit with.� The standard horseshoe field is 40 feet, but those in the Elder Division, women and juniors pitch at 30 feet. Shoes are weighed and measured to verify they are within the limits of regulations. “I take what I call a two-point stance,� he said explaining his throwing approach. “I take one step and pitch. You have to be careful not to cross the foul line; the judges are watching pretty close.� Typically, men will pitch a “turn shoe� style and women a “flip shoe,� but Hartwig said it’s more to do with control of the throw in boosting ringer percentages.

‘Welcome to Humboldt’ signs should be up by Biblesta on Oct. 6 A couple of the PRIDE Committee’s projects devised to promote pride in Humboldt soon will be visible to local residents and visitors. With the 55th annual Biblesta Parade just five weeks away, the committee has Oct. 6 as the goal to install welcome banners in the business district and have directional signage in place. Twenty-three 2-foot by 4-foot banners will be ordered in orange and black with “Welcome to Humboldt� imprinted and a profile of the river bridge as the design. The banners will be attached to light poles downtown. PRIDE collaborated with B&W Trailer Hitch-

es, the city and Humboldt High School to design and manufacture nine directional signs that will be placed to give directions to points of interest. The Humboldt Healthy Ecosystems-Healthy Communities Neosho River Park project is ready for shrubs and flowers to be planted. The city installed water and the ecosystems committee will promote a community work day at the park on Sept. 8. The Humboldt PRIDE Committee will host a fall social for the Allen County PRIDE communities on Sept. 27 at the River Park amphitheater. The committee will provide the meal.

New floor, ceiling next for bandstand Work on renovating the bandstand in the city square continues to progress. Mayor Nobby Davis volunteered time to install the new floor, which will be finished with varnish. A new ceiling on the lower level will be installed next, along with lighting. Monarch Cement Company employees will paint the foundation and the

roof ceiling trim. The Downtown Action Team hopes to have the project completed in time for the Biblesta celebration Oct. 6. Plans are under way to celebrate the completion with a high school band concert in the square as a thank you to all the groups and volunteers who worked on the project.

Two arrested near Elsmore Jordan C. Vender, 26, and Justin D. Powell, 34, Moran, were arrested Saturday night at a residence near Elsmore for obstructing the legal process. Allen County deputies and the Kansas Highway Patrol assisted Linn County deputies in recovery of

stolen property, including an all-terrain vehicle. Officers said Vender was found hiding in a room in a locked metal shed and, when found, gave officers a false name. Vender also was wanted on an Anderson County warrant.

A monument to Neil Armstrong: more space missions Neil Armstrong, first man to walk on the moon when he hopped about for a camera on that July day in 1969, deserves the kind of greatness accorded to pioneers. With the Olympics fresh in mind, Armstrong developed the kinds of skills and m e n t a l toughness that mark gold medal athletes. He became an astronaut be- Neil Armstrong cause he was a crack test pilot. The Air Force knew he would perform under pressure and that he had instinctive abilities that could deal with the unexpected. Everything about the moon mission was a never-before experiment. Many of the things which could have gone wrong would have killed Armstrong and his crew at any point in the ascent and descent. Perfection in both men and equipment was required. Perfection was delivered. Armstrong on the moon and back was much more than an astounding scientific achievement. The mission put the United States back on top. While the space race with Russia had already been won, that extraordinary first step was a knockout punch the whole world recog-

nized and applauded. As the soft-spoken pilot was quick to say, the U.S. landing on the moon, and all that historymaking achievement brought with it, was the culmination of a national effort.

It happened because the U.S.S.R. put a monkey in space, brought it back alive and scared America’s leaders spitless. President John F. Kennedy promised to put a man on the moon. NASA was given a blank

ented team. Neil Armstrong rode to the moon on their backs, so to speak. Bronze statues cannot be made of all the men and women who made the United States the world’s uncontested super power in those years. It will therefore be OK to make one of Armstrong, much bigger than life-size, and create a space monument around it in some prominent place in our nation’s capital — unless it belongs in Houston or Cape Canaveral. It was an extraordinary achievement. SO, COME TO THINK OF IT,

was the perfect landing of Curiosity on Mars Aug. 6. Perhaps Curiosity would not be roving around Mars today, taking pictures and melting rocks with laser beams, looking for signs of life or the potential for life, on the red planet, if the Russians had not taken that provocative first step. Now that Curiosity and the flawless science that put it on Mars come to mind, we withdraw the motion to build a monument to Armstrong. Monuments cost lots of money. It would be smarter to memorialize our most famous astronaut with new space missions. Mr. Armstrong would surely salute and say, “you, bet!” — Emerson Lynn, jr.

Bump up visibility with fluorescent striping By JOHN SCHLAGECK Kansas Farm Bureau

With every passing year, farm machinery becomes larger and larger. Some of this new equipment is so large it extends into the oncoming traffic lane and far beyond the tractor pulling it. Farms are larger today than in the past and farm operators are forced to travel longer distances on the highways between fields. Fewer people have farm backgrounds. Many do not recognize that caution must be exercised when approaching farm equipment on the roadway. There also is more and more traffic. Farm equipment without side markings may not be seen, especially in low-light conditions. That’s why colored, fluorescent film is the latest innovation to help make rural life safer. Properly placed on farm equipment these vibrant-colored, acrylic safety devices immediately attract the attention of approaching motorists. Sometimes referred to as “perimeter marking materials,” the micro prism used with fluorescent films use up to 75 percent of its surface to reflect incoming light. Some of the glass bead reflective elements use only about 25 percent of the surface to return light. “These new, long-lasting safety strips were not designed to replace slow-moving-vehicle emblems,” says Holly Higgins, Kansas Farm Bureau safety and health programs director. “Our farmers, ranchers and rural people could use them for their own protection and for those who may be traveling near them.” Higgins notes approximately 50 percent of all accidents with farm equipment are sideswipes. The longer lasting reflective tape can provide greater safety by increasing visibility when approaching slow moving farm equipment from behind.

check. Educators warned America’s public schools weren’t teaching kids enough math or science. Scientists, educators, the nation’s military and the federal government were harnessed together into a goal-ori-

“The ideal scenario is to use yellow reflectors on the side and front of the equipment while red and orange strips should be placed on both sides of the back with the slow-moving-vehicle emblem in the middle,” Higgins says. Until recently, most fluorescent materials used outdoors faded quickly — in a matter of months. Some of the new products on the market will last a minimum of two years and as long as three to five years, depending on weather conditions. THE MOST CRITICAL time to provide high visibility for slowmoving farm machinery is in poor lighting conditions, including twilight, and in inclement weather such as snow, rain or fog, Higgins says. During such condi-

tions, headlights are not always turned on promptly because they do not help to improve visibility. Bright colors depend on direct sunlight and lose their attracting attention in marginal lighting conditions, the Farm Bureau safety coordinator says. The new fluorescent films continue to provide a high level of visibility during all lighting conditions. The sooner you recognize a slow moving vehicle, the better your chances are for avoiding an equipment collision, Higgins says. In Kansas during the last two years there have been 11 reports of crashes involving farm machinery on roadways. For example, a motorist traveling 65 miles per hour will need 4.5 seconds to perceive, react and slow down when approaching a tractor traveling 15 miles per hour. That’s why new technology is important to adapt and use, Higgins says. “When your life and that of your loved ones are concerned, it’s important to utilize every edge you can,” the Farm Bureau safety specialist says. “Using fluorescent films can give you one advantage that will help protect you and those traveling around you.” While law in Kansas does not require these reflective strips, it makes good sense to use them. Install fluorescent strips and drive more safely today.

And the show must go on TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Republicans launched Mitt Romney’s national convention Monday with the bang of a gavel before a smattering of delegates as Tropical Storm Isaac led them to cancel most of the openingday program. Party Chairman Reince Priebus called the gathering to order, citing convention rules requiring a 2 p.m. Monday start, and then immediately recessed the session. It took less than two minutes. Priebus then instructed delegates to look up at two “debt clocks” — one that reflects the actual national debt and a second that counts how much the debt will grow during the convention. It was quickly in six figures. The convention will hit full speed today, just as forecasters say the storm could reach hurricane strength and make landfall somewhere between Mississippi and New Orleans. “Our sons are already in Tampa and they say it’s terrific there, a lot of great friends. And we’re looking forward to a great convention,” Romney said Monday outside a New Hampshire high school auditorium where he rehearsed his convention speech. He said he hoped those in the storm’s path would be “spared any major destruction” but indicated there were no thoughts of canceling the convention in Tampa, where Isaac’s heavy rain had all but passed. Tom Del Beccaro, a California delegate and chair of the state GOP, predicted the one-day delay in full convention events would supercharge the rest of the week’s meeting.

“I think there’s going to be a lot of bottled up energy, and I think that’s going to show,” he said. But Sally Bradshaw, a Florida Republican and longtime senior aide to former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, was not so sanguine. “It’s a mess all around and it’s fraught with risk,” she said. “It’s not good for anybody — particularly the people impacted by the storm.” It was hardly the opening splash that convention planners had hoped for, and it risked the juxtaposition of Republicans partying as the storm barrels toward land — almost exactly seven years after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans. As the weather threat to Tampa diminished, delegates focused on party message and the near-term task of making Romney the nominee and working to defeat Obama in November. “There’s a mission here,” said Gary Harkins, a delegate from Brandon, Miss. “We have to nominate a candidate for president. Our mission is to save America from becoming a socialistic state.” The storm was a complication, at best, for a party determined to cast the close election as a referendum on Obama’s economic stewardship. Organizers worry it would be unseemly to engage in days of political celebration if Isaac made a destructive landfall anywhere on U.S. soil. “You can tone down the happy-days-are-here-again a bit,” said Rich Galen, a veteran Republican consultant in Washington. “Maybe you don’t have the biggest balloon drop in history.”

Avoiding the dangers of canning Most salsas are a mixture of low-acid foods, such as onions and peppers, paired with acid foods, such as tomatoes or fruits. Recipes may call for adding vinegar, lemon or lime juices or other ingredients that will impact the acidity of the overall recipe. It is important that ingredients be carefully measured and directions for making the salsa are followed if you are planning to home-can or preserve it. “Failing to balance the acid level when mixing ingredients in the salsa can create an environment in which foodborne bacteria — including Clostridium botulinum (Botulism), which can cause double vision, paralysis, vomiting and death — can grow,” said Karen Blakeslee, Kansas State University Research and Extension food scientist. So, is there a way to enjoy fresh garden vegetables in homemade salsa safely? “Yes,” said Blakeslee, who offered these tips: • Choose fresh, top-quality ingredients that are free of cracks, bruises, mold or insect damage. • Wash vegetables thoroughly to remove debris. • Choose a tested recipe that is known to

yield satisfactory results when directions are followed. Recipes are available in your Southwind Extension Office; the United States Department of Agriculture (Web site: www.usda.gov and search for canning recipes); the National Center for Home Food Preservation (www. uga.edu/nchfp/); and current versions of the “Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving,” and the “Ball Blue Book,” which may be available at libraries, and for purchase at book, hardware and kitchen supply stores and some supermarkets. • Read the recipe to make sure that you have all ingredients and equipment on hand before beginning to prepare the recipe. •Do not alter the amounts of ingredients in recipes. This will affect the safety of the final product. If you want to alter a tested recipe, wait to add extra ingredients (additional peppers,

seasonings, etc.) until right before serving. It is possible to substitute different types of peppers to increase – or decrease – the heat in the salsa, and also possible to use any variety of tomatoes or substitute tomatillos for some of the tomatoes. •For home canning, a hot water bath or pressure canner is recommended because the final heat treatment will kill bacteria that may be present. If using a pressure canner, check the accuracy of the pressure gauge at the beginning of food preservation season and more often, if a malfunction is suspected. Southwind Extension District offices offer this service. •Consider freezing, rather than canning. Freezing will protect garden-fresh flavors and reduce the risks of foodborne illness. Freezing also allows flexibility – and creativity – in preparing your salsa recipe. Frozen salsa may become mushy, drain as needed before serving. Homemade salsa can typically be frozen for up to 12 months. • Do not use the open kettle method for any kind of canning. This process involves ladling food into hot sterilized jars and applying the lid without further heat

Weather unpredictable

processing. The open kettle canning method may cause foods stored at room temperature to spoil and can lead to foodborne illness. •Canning jars, lids and screw-top rings, which are made to withstand heat, should be sterilized and ready to go. Canning jars and screw-top rings in good condition can be re-used; sealing lids should be not re-used. If a jar is not made for canning, heat involved in the process may cause it to explode. •Store home-canned foods in a cool (60 to 70 degrees), dry (to prevent lids from rusting) and dark (sunlight may cause temperature fluctuations and a loss in food quality and color). •If a food product looks or smells suspect – a damaged seal, swollen lid, off color or texture, for example – discard it without tasting it. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets. Remember, when in doubt, throw it out!

H USD 257 needs. “I’m soliciting your help.” Bideau noted this spring’s redistricting of legislative districts puts Neosho County Community College and Allen Community College in the same House district — a first. Funding for education will continue to be a central issue for the upcoming Legislature. “First we need to decide how much money to put into the pot and second, how that is spread out,” he said. “Equalization of those funds has eroded over time due to pressure from the wealthier districts to keep more at home.” Bideau said one way he could fight for the interests of southeast Kansas “is to vote ‘no’ against any Johnson County legislator” running for leadership positions in the House. The power to decide funding schools should remain with Kansas courts,

not legislators, precisely because urban legislators outnumber those from rural districts, Bideau said. Bideau said his wife Margaret, a fourth-grade teacher in Chanute, helps keep him abreast of educational trends and needs. “Too often, once people don’t have a direct connection with schools, they don’t realize the needs of today,” he said. “What was good for them 25 years ago, they figure is good today. Of all fields, education is constantly changing. I can appreciate your frustration,” of an ever-tightening budget, Bideau said. THE AGE-TO-AGE pre-

BASE after-school program and now this Age-to-Age program,” Pekarek said. Iola’s is one of three Windsor Place-based preschools in the state that couple preschoolers with elderly residents. Many times the elderly and preschoolers are at comparable levels, such as when the children are developing fine motor skills and the elderly are losing some of their ability to handle small objects. When the two age groups can share that “window” of ability, they enjoy doing projects together. “The state is very interested in this program,” Pekarek said, noting the Governor “had tears in his eyes,” when he witnessed the children and their elderly cohorts at another Windsor Place facility that also had the program. Pekarek and eight others will give a presentation about the program before the State Board of Education on Sept. 18 in Topeka. The district’s building trades house built by IHS students was sold to Erica Taylor for $75,000. The house was originally priced at $92,000, but lack of interest prompted trustees to open its sale for bid. Taylor’s offer was the first received. The house is at 405 N. McGuire, in the subdivision abutting Cedarbrook Golf Course. Board president Leavitt excused himself from all discussion and action on the offer. Taylor is his niece. Trustees also agreed to pay $23,000 for a two-acre lot in Bassett to house district buses. Scott Stanley, director of operations, took it in good measure when trustees declined his recommendation to purchase a John Deere

lawn mower for $3,200 from O’Malley Equipment. Instead, they went for the lowest bid of 10, a Kubota model from Storrer Implement for $1,500. The price includes an $8,000 trade-in for the district’s three-yearold Kubota tractor. Stanley said the older tractor was used yearround, including for snow removal. “It took a lot of abuse,” he said. In the last year its repairs amounted to $2,800. The new tractor will not be used to remove snow, he said, and should fare better. All three elementary principals gave glowing reports about the beginning of school. Lori Maxwell shared with trustees that McKinley had been recognized as a Title I Reward School for high academic progress based on the past four years of combined state reading and math assessment results. McKinley is one of 66 schools in Kansas to receive the recognition. For its open house at the first of the school year, McKinley staff hosted a cookout with students and their families, Maxwell said. Enrollment has leveled at 142 students. At Jefferson Elementary, Principal Brad Crusinbery said he is thankful to begin the school year with no turnover in staff from the previous year. Before school began, teachers spent almost three hours with Brett Linn, technology director for the district, learning the finer points of how to manage an iPad. The school has 40 iPads to use through a grant secured by Angela Henry, director of SAFE BASE. Jefferson has 286 students this fall.

Weather has not been favorable for agricultural production recently, but that might be changing. At least one climatologist is predicting a break for many Midwest producers suffering from the summer heat and dry weather. Evelyn Browning-Garriss is a historical climatologist who examines historical records, coral growth patterns, tree rings, sediment layers and glacial cores to determine previous climate patterns. She then uses the information from those patterns to provide an explanation for current changing climate patterns and their effect on economic, societal and agricultural trends. Browning-Garriss said she expects La Niña conditions to dissipate, and El Niño conditions to develop within the month of August, bringing welcome relief for many producers throughout the U.S. El Niño is an oscillating ocean current pattern that tends to shift winds and moisture eastward, bringing cooler temperatures and much needed moisture in from the Pacific. Typically El Niños are good news for agriculture in the U.S., Brazil and Argentina while increasing drought risks in other parts of the world, such as northern China, India, Pakistan and northern South America. She makes predictions such as this based on examinations of 100,000 years worth of yearly weather records found in nature. She searches for a 5-year period exhibiting similar traits to what the world is currently experi-

Carla Nemecek Extension Agent for Agriculture

encing in terms of natural factors shaping the weather. Then she looks at what follows that 5-year period, saying there is an 80 percent chance of a similar trend developing. “I’m not making a future projection; I’m giving people perspective,” she said. Browning-Garriss said the world has been experiencing La Niña conditions for the past couple years, combined with a shifting pattern of ocean currents known to climatologists as a Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO). A changing PDO tends to magnify the effects of La Niña. “PDOs make the western U.S. a little drier,” she said, “but when you add on a La Niña, you get the kind of drought we saw in Texas.” Historically, a changing PDO tends to reduce production and drive up prices of mid-latitude crops, with little effect on tropical crops. Browning-Garriss said it typically takes a society about 10 years to adjust to the rainfall patterns of a new PDO and for crop prices to stabilize. With the incoming El Niño, it might be possible to start seeing change sooner though. “I expect when El Niño fully develops, you’ll start to see production increase and prices go down,” she said.

USD 257 trustees will hold their Sept. 10 meeting at LaHarpe City Hall in an effort to reach out to the community and hear “the concerns of LaHarpe parents,” said Brian Pekarek, superintendent of schools. Crusinbery said two methods of communicating have helped the new year get off to a good start. The first is students using the KAGAN program, which stresses cooperative learning techniques, and having students be in new groups to solve problems. The second idea implemented is to have teachers contact the families of every student “just to tell them we’re glad to have their children in our school,” Crusinbery said. At Lincoln Elementary, Principal Larry Hart said its Parent-Teacher Organization has a new president in Lesley Skahan. She replaces Shellie Regehr, who “took care of our every need,” Hart said. “It’s so important what a PTO can do for a school,” he said. Enrollment at Lincoln is 238. IN THEIR ROLE as trustees to the Bowlus Fine Arts Center, members approved the Bowlus budget for fiscal year 2012-13. In her presentation before the board, Susan Raines, Bowlus executive director, noted the fine arts facility hosted 778 events last year, excluding regular classroom events. “We are a very busy place,” she said. Many Iola students also call the Bowlus their “second” home. Last year, classes at the Bowlus involved 354 students the first semester, followed by 360 students

the second semester. Under the agreement between the school district and the Bowlus Commission, the district leases space for classrooms for drama, music and art classes. Bowlus employees are also those of the school district. Raines asked for an increase of $120 for the lease agreement, putting it at $126,875. This comprises about one-third of the Bowlus’s operational budget. Raines also asked for 2.5 percent across-the-board raises for Bowlus staff. Trustees approved the appointments of Terri Piazza, Iola, and Patti Boyd, Moran, to serve on the Bowlus Commission. Trustees also were enthusiastic about Robert Coffeen, a professor of acoustics architect at the University of Kansas, studying the acoustical needs of the band and choir rooms at the Bowlus. AFTER

DISCUSSIONS

in executive session, trustees approved the appointments of Amanda Thompson as the adviser to the National Honor Society and Cameron Jesseph as head wrestling coach. The board will next meet Sept. 10 at LaHarpe City Hall — formerly LaHarpe Elementary School — in an effort to reach out to the community. Pekarek said he hopes parents of LaHarpe students attend the meeting “so we can hear their concerns.”

H Council Continued from A1

3 Water Emergency would be declared by state water office anytime soon. It would likely take several more weeks or months of no rain for a water emergency declaration, Ross said. A water emergency triggers even tighter restrictions on water usage. Car washes would be banned altogether and outdoor lawn watering prohibited. Additionally, the city would meet with large-scale water users — namely industries — to determine ways for those places take whatever steps are necessary to limit water usage. COUNCILMEN approved a five-year extension to the city’s lease agreement with Iola Industries and Columbia Metal. Columbia occupies cityowned buildings at Riverside Park. The buildings are leased to Iola Industries, then subleased to Columbia. Columbia’s rent will increase from $435 monthly to $600, as part of the agreement, which extends to 2017. In addition to rent, Columbia has paid for other improvements to the building through the years. THE COUNCIL approved

hiring the engineering firm of Punzer-Youngquist, P.A., of Olathe for work related to the replacement of a pump within the city’s water distribution system. The city will pay the firm $4,100, plus added costs if more site visits are necessary. The city’s desire is to

T HE

replace a 200-horsepower pump with a 125-horsepower pump to transport water from the city’s treatment plant to water towers within the city. The old pump has been used rarely over the past 30 years because it boosts water pressure too much, causing failures in water lines. The pump replacement project was approved by the council earlier this month as a “supplemental environmental project� agreement with the Environmental Protection Agency. In exchange, EPA will reduce the city’s fine related to wastewater violations in 2008 and 2009 discharged by Russell Stover Candies. Councilmen also voted to move forward on plans to add catalytic converters to the city’s natural gas-fired Wartsila generators, as ordered by EPA. The catalytic converters should reduce the generator’s discharge of air pollutants when they are in operation. Slaugh told council members the city has been engaged in monthly meetings with Westar and several other communities related to who will oversee Iola’s wholesale electricity usage. The plan is for Westar to oversee Iola’s day-to-day electrical load, Slaugh said, as well as Chanute’s, Sabetha’s, Fredonia’s, Centralia’s and Arcadia’s. The six communities would operate as a single entity known as the Southwind Energy Group. A draft agreement will be made available soon, Slaugh said.

ACC soccer teams ready to hit the pitch By JOCELYN SHEETS jocelyn@iolaregister.com

Returning to the playoffs is on the minds of all concerned with Allen Community College soccer. Both the Red Devil men and women are preparing for the 2012 season to begin and making a run to the NJCAA Region VI playoffs. It’s been a few years for the ACC women’s team in the playoffs. The ACC men had a four-year run deep into the playoffs snapped two years ago. To reach that ultimate goal, the Red Devil soccer teams will rely on an infusion of freshmen. Allen’s women have six sophomores back from last year’s 6-11-1 team plus nine freshmen. Allen’s men return three players off last year’s 3-12 team and have four sophomores on its 24-member squad. “Both the men and women came in pretty fit this season. I’m really pleased with that,” said Doug Desmarteau, ACC head soccer coach. “This is the most athletic women’s team I’ve had here. These girls are very coachable and I’m pleased with the training sessions. As for the men, the competition during practice is intense which is good. We’re pretty deep with a lot of team speed.” Allen’s women begin the season Wednesday on the road at Butler Community College in El Dorado. The ACC men and women are at Hesston on Sept. 4, which will be the men’s season opener. The Red Devils have back-to-back home doubleheaders Sept. 6 and 8 when Northeastern Oklahoma and Cowley Community College come to Iola. Back on the pitch for the ACC women are sophomore defenders Marisa Manzo, Amanda Larson and Sahayla Griggs, forward Daniele Wilber and midfielder Kelsey Estep. Wilber scored three goals for the Red Devils. “Daniele plays up top for us and is always attacking. Marisa is one of the best players I’ve had at Allen. She is a very good leader and strong player in the back for us,”

Desmarteau said. “Amanda played spottingly for us last year but has come out this season as a great leader for our team. She’ll be a big factor defensively for us. Kelsey will contribute to the attack.” Desmarteau is looking for freshman Autumn Ferrell of Mannford, Okla., to be a good fit up top, helping with the attack on goal. He said the rest of the freshmen are working to find their roles on the team. Two of those freshmen are goalkeepers Rebekah Zellers and Keelie Arbuckle. Arbuckle has the inside track as starter. “That’s because Rebekah can play on the field in other positions for us as well. Both have good hands and great footwork in goal,” Desmarteau said. “ He pointed out the two new assistant coaches he has in the program. Jeremy McGinnis isn’t new to the ACC program. “Jeremy coached with me for four years then left and is See SOCCER | B2

Wildcats, Lady Lancers play in TRL tourney By JOCELYN SHEETS jocelyn@iolaregister.com

ARMA — Marmaton Valley High’s Wildcats and Crest High’s Lady Lancers competed in the Three Rivers League Tournament hosted by Northeast High in Arma Saturday. The Wildcats and Lady Lancers were in the same pool at the league tournament. The Wildcats came out 2-2 while the Lady Lancers went 0-4. Neither team moved into the bracket play. Jayhawk-Linn won the tournament title with a 25-21, 25-21 vic-

tory over St. Paul in the championship match. Uniontown beat Pleasanton 25-23, 25-18 in the third-place match. “The girls worked hard and didn’t give up,” said Terra Kegler, MVHS head coach. “We were worn out by the last match of the day and it showed in our serving. We served well at the beginning of the day but at the end we were struggling some.” Marmaton Valley opened the day with a 25-13, 25-19 win over Chetopa led by Kaitlin Ensminger and Emily Meiwes with

six service points and four kills apiece. Kailey Boyd downed seven kills and served up four points. Tabitha Ford had 16 set assists and Kaysha Elmenhorst had 14 set assists. The Wildcats lost to St. Paul in three sets, 24-26, 25-16, 25-22. Ensminger served for six points while Boyd, Meiwes and Kacie Shadden each had five service points. Ensminger downed seven kills while Boyd and Shadden had six kills apiece. Meiwes made three blocks at the net. Ford put up 30 set assists and Elmenhorst had 24 set

assists. Marmaton Valley defeated Crest 25-20, 25-18. Meiwes and Shadden each served for seven points and Ensminger had five points. Boyd racked up seven kills for the Cats and Meiwes and Shadden had four kills each. Ford had 27 assists. Pleasanton beat Marmaton Valley 23-25, 25-22, 25-19. Boyd delivered nine kills and served up seven points. Ensminger had six kills and six points while Meiwes had six kills and three blocks. See TOURNEY | B2

Drake takes factory checkered flag HUMBOLDT — Daryl Drake posted his first feature race victory of the 2012 season at Humboldt Speedway Friday. Drake outran the rest of the 16-car field to win in factory stock division. An early unassisted spinout by points leader Scott Stuart sent him to the rear of the field and by the midway point of the race, Drake had a firm hold on the lead. Steve Stuart ran second and Steve Herrice made his Humboldt debut with a third-place finish. Scott Stuart roared from the back of the pack to snare fourth and Patrick Kay finished fifth. Justin Folk recently announced his retirement from racing but has driven his brother’s car to two straight wins at the Speedway. Justin Folk is in Jess Folk Jr.’s modified stock car after Jess was disqualified for the rest of the season in a dispute with USRA rules on tires. Justin Folk took the lead Friday night and never gave it up. Cody See FLAG | B2

H Soccer Continued from B1 back. Jeremy’s focus is really with the women’s team. He really works well with the women,” Desmarteau said. “Matt Abott played here for me and is a great addition to the coaching staff. He knows what we want from players.” Desmarteau said the ACC teams are better technically coming into the season. He said Allen backed its schedule up a bit to allow players and coaches to prepare better for it. THE ACC MEN have sophomore Jordan Drake back in goal for them plus sophomore forward Johnny Acker and sophomore defender Luis Caldera back from last year. Plus Eric Tomlinson is a sophomore on the squad. “Jordan did well for us last year. He was the starter in goal for us the majority of the season. He is one of our captains this season and is a vocal leader,” Desmarteau said. “Johnny scored three goals and had five or six as-

sists. He is fast and technical out there on the field. He did a lot of work over the winter and off-season. Luis played outside back for us but is coming back off a knee injury. We look for him to be released to start working out with us in a week.” Tomlinson was a starting back defender for the Red Devils in 2009. He left school and is now back. “Eric came back ready to play and is more mature. He has stepped up as a leader on the team,” Desmarteau said. One of the main focuses of recruiting for the Red Devil men the past year was shoring up their defense. Desmarteau said they wanted to have players who could really make the defense more organized. “Offensively, we have a lot of team speed and we have a ton of attacking players in the midfield and forward spots. We’re pretty deep so I believe it’s going to be hard to defend us. We’re going to keep the pressure on offensively attacking the goal,” Desmarteau said.

“Defensively, we lacked that organization in the back we needed last year. We really focused on getting defenders who can get the ball back for us in the back,” he said. Desmarteau said all of the freshman players are working hard and vying for spots on the field. He said he was pleased with the fitness of his players coming into the preseason practices. “It’s been really great

to have both the men and women show up in good condition so we can get right to it in practices,” he said. “We’re excited about Allen soccer this season. We have good team speed on both teams. The players are working hard to get where we want to be.” Allen has most of its home games in September. The ACC teams do have a doubleheader with Dodge City on Oct. 14.

Shadden made eight kills and Ford had 22 assists. “Kailey Boyd was strong at the net. We have some things we need to change and improve going into next week,” Kegler said. “Overall, I was happy with the way we played our first games of the season. It made me even more excited for our season.” CREST lost to Pleasanton 25-23, 25-17 then to Chetopa 25-21, 25-3. The Lady Lancers dropped a 25-12, 25-15 decision to St. Paul. “The girls are working hard for me and I appreciate it.

In the next-to-last Friday of regular season at the Speedway, the close competition for points champion in pure stock continued. Derek Michael edged out Tyler Kidwell for the feature win with Kidwell maintaining a lead in points. Levi Phillips stayed in the hunt for the championship with a third-place run. Mike Churning and Mike Aiello rounded out the top five finishers. Tim VanGotten held off Jeremy Chambers to record a B-Mod feature win. Curt Drake finished third and Brad Jarman was fourth. Jimmie Davis placed fifth. This Friday features the

Other players released by the Chiefs were fullback Shane Bannon; defensive backs Dominique Ellis and Jean Fanor; linebackers Caleb Campbell and Dexter Heyman; offensive linemen Justin Cheadle and Cam Holland; defensive end Ethan Johnson; kicker Matt Szymanski; and wide receivers Jeremy Horne, Brandon Kinnie, Zeke Markshausen and Aaron Weaver.

Hochevar complete game not enough for KC BOSTON (AP) — Luke Hochevar pitched well enough to save the bullpen. The problem was the Kansas City Royals couldn’t do much against Daisuke Matsuzaka. Hochevar pitched his second complete game of the season, holding down a Boston offense that collected 34 hits in the previous two games, but the Royals lost to the Red Sox 5-1 Monday in the series finale. After using seven relievers in a win Saturday and five in Sunday’s loss, Hochevar needed to give his team a long start heading into a 10-game homestand that begins tonight against Justin Verlander and the Detroit Tigers. “Hoch did a great job of getting us through eight innings,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “Our ‘pen had really been worked the last two nights and he gave (us) a chance — and in this park a four-run lead, I mean, you can get it. He did a nice job of keeping us in the game.”

Matsuzaka returned from the disabled list with his best start of the season and Cody Ross drove in three runs to help the Japanese right-hander get his first win since undergoing Tommy John surgery in June of last year. “He was throwing (the slider) inside to righties and he’s actually mixed in more of a cutter now,” Kansas City’s Billy Butler said. “He used to be just fastball, sinker and that slurvy slider and not so many cutters, but today I saw more cutters than I had in the past.” Hochevar (7-12) gave up five runs and eight hits. The Red Sox took three of four in the wraparound series and won for the second time in three games since trading Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Beckett and Carl Crawford to the Dodgers on Saturday in a salary-dumping, nine-player deal. Jacoby Ellsbury had a solo homer and double for Boston, which opens a nine-game West Coast trip

tonight night against the Los Angles Angels. Matsuzaka (1-3), on the DL since early July with a strained neck muscle, gave up an unearned run and five hits, walking two and striking out six over seven innings in just his sixth start of the season. “We couldn’t get anything going against him,” Yost said. It was the first time Matsuzaka’s pitched more than six innings. The Red Sox won for just the seventh time in 19 games. Boston broke a 1-1 tie on Ross’ two-run single in the third. Scott Podsednik and Dustin Pedroia each singled before Ross hit a drive high off the Green Monster, but he was thrown out trying to stretch it on Alex Gordon’s throw. In the sixth, the Red Sox added two runs off Hochevar. Ross had an RBI double off the left-field wall. He beat Gordon’s throw, sliding into second before scor-

roster limit, including former Kansas tight end Tim Biere. The Chiefs made the cuts Sunday. The deadline was Monday afternoon. There were no major surprises as the Chiefs trimmed their roster following a 44-14 loss to Seattle last Friday night. Kansas City plays its last preseason game against Green Bay on Thursday before a final cut to the 53-man limit the fol-

ing when newly acquired James Loney singled to make it 5-1. Loney went 1 for 4 in his second game after coming in the trade with Los Angeles. Matsuzaka, in the final year of a six-year, $52 million contract, mostly spotted his fastball with a slider and cutter to keep the Royals hitters off balance. He was most impressive when he worked out of a first-and-third, one-out jam in the sixth, getting Mike Moustakas swinging on a tailing 94 mph fastball to end the inning. The Royals took advantage of an error, scoring a run without a hit to take a 1-0 lead in the first. Jarrod Dyson opened the game with a walk, stole second and advanced when second baseman Pedroia was charged with an error when he didn’t catch a somewhat high throw. Gordon followed with a sacrifice fly. Ellsbury’s homer in the

bottom half, a drive that bounced on the top of a short right-field wall and into the stands, tied it 1-all. NOTES: Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said he expects to see reliever Alfredo Aceves with the team on the West Coast trip today. He was suspended on Saturday for three games for conduct detrimental to the team. “I guess it’s just being responsible for your actions and understanding that all actions have consequence,” Valentine said before Monday’s game. “It’s just a simple rule. I don’t have a lot of rules, but one of the rules I stated early on was you don’t do anything to embarrass yourself, your teammates or your organization. That’s a rule.” ... Gordon went 2 for 3, getting two hits in all four games. ... Boston placed DH David Ortiz back on the 15-day DL because of lingering problems with his strained right Achilles, but he hopes to play again this season.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A federal appeals court has ruled that former employees failed to demonstrate a pattern of age discrimination by The Boeing Co. and Spirit AeroSystems. Ninety former Boeing workers claimed they lost their jobs because of their age when the Chicagobased aerospace manufacturer sold its commercial aircraft operations in Kansas and Oklahoma to Onex Corp. in 2005. Onex formed Wichitabased Spirit AeroSystems to handle those former Boeing operations. In its Monday ruling, the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a district judge’s 2010 ruling that there is too little evidence to put the case before a jury. The appeals court found that the hiring practices did not unfairly hurt older workers and that they failed to show the companies intended to interfere with their pension benefits.

Kansan: Armstrong heroic, yet gracious GARY DEMUTH The Salina Journal

SALINA, Kan. (AP) — With his combination of skills, technical knowledge and humility, Neil Armstrong was the model of how an astronaut should behave, said former astronaut and Salina native Steve Hawley. “He knew that you could do amazing things if you dream big and are willing to try to do what it takes to achieve it,� Hawley said. Armstrong, who died Saturday at age 82 following complications from cardiovascular procedures, certainly achieved amazing things. As the first man to set foot on the moon July 20, 1969, Armstrong inspired an entire generation of astronauts and scientists who would follow in his foot-

“ He knew that you could do

amazing things if you dream big and are willing to try to do what it takes to achieve it. ... You have to admire the people like Neil who took the risk. — Steve Hawley, Astronaut and Salina native on Neil Armstrong, who died Saturday

steps. Hawley, 61, was one of those astronauts. Although Armstrong had left NASA and the space program before Hawley joined NASA, Hawley said he will never forget watching Armstrong make that first “small step for man� on the moon’s sur-

face. “I remember watching him land at my folks’ house in Salina,� said Hawley, who graduated from Salina Central High School just a couple of months before Armstrong’s moon landing. “(Armstrong) and all those guys were my heroes,� he

said. “I never thought there would be a role for me at NASA because they were test pilots and I wanted to be a scientist,� Hawley said. Hawley ended up flying on five U.S. Space Shuttle flights. He now is director of engineering physics at the University of Kansas. Hawley said he met Armstrong a couple of times. The first time was when he worked with Armstrong on the Rogers Commission in 1986, which investigated the crash of the space shuttle Challenger. He also met him during the 1991 dedication of the Astronaut Memorial at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. “He was a private man, but to me he was always very gracious,� Hawley

said. If anything summed up the character of Neil Armstrong, Hawley said, it was a story he’d heard about the time Armstrong was training on a lunar landing training vehicle, “which looked like a big jet engine with a lawn chair on top.� “It was common to lose control of that thing, so one day, he lost control and had to eject,� Hawley said. “Then, he went back to his office and continued working. It was just part of the job to him.� Hawley doesn’t know if the U.S. would have the national will now to undertake space and moon missions as they did in the past. “You have to admire the people like Neil who took the risk,� he said.

Wolf Creek keeps wary eye on drought conditions “ These projections really don’t project any rainBy CHAD LAWHORN Lawrence Journal World

LAWRENCE — Come to find out, it is not just farmers and folks who have dry yards that root for rain. The owners of the Wolf Creek Nuclear Power Plant are rooting hard as well. A new report from the Kansas Water Office projects a key federal reservoir used in helping cool the nuclear power plant near Burlington will be almost dry by Nov. 1, if current weather patterns persist. Wolf Creek officials said the dwindling water levels at nearby John Redmond Reservoir pose no safety

risk, but they could make it difficult for the plant to operate if the drought continues for many months. “Just like with about everything at a nuclear plant, we have plans in place to deal with that type of situation,� said Jenny Hageman, a spokeswoman with Wolf Creek. Officials with the Kansas Water Office estimated John Redmond Reservoir, a 1950s-era federal reservoir just outside of Burlington, was at about 75 percent of its normal capacity as of Aug. 1. But by Nov. 1, the office projects the 9,400-acre lake

fall. Unfortunately, the long-term weather forecast also is not projecting much rainfall through the fall. — Earl Lewis, Kansas Water Office assistant director

will be at only 5 percent of its capacity. In other words, the lake will be 95 percent dry. Earl Lewis, assistant director for the Kansas Water Office, said the projections are meant to show kind of a “worst-case scenario� for the area.

State witholds registration upgrade TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan said Monday that the state continues to withhold part of the payment to the company responsible for the new motor vehicle registration system while problems are being resolved.

$40 million system went online in May. Jordan told the Topeka Capital-Journal the final 10 percent of a $25 million contract with 3M Co. is being withheld. “3M is working to get those cleaned up,� Jordan said. “The system seems to be stabilizing and doing good, except for these localized issues.� There’s no timetable

for making the payment. However, the Department of Revenue is delaying the next phase of its computer modernization that involves driver’s licenses. That contract is also being handled by 3M. “We obviously want to get this first phase where we want it before we start talking too much about that,� Jordan said of the driver’s license system.

The division rolled out the upgraded system in early May, and county treasurers had to stop taking vehicle registrations, driver’s license applications and other related business for about a week during the installation, creating backlogs. Other problems with the system have hampered counties’ efforts to deal with the backlog, even as residents come in with new business.

“These projections really don’t project any rainfall,� Lewis said. “Unfortunately, the long-term weather forecast also is not projecting much rainfall through the fall.� The new report from the Water Office projects water levels for 17 reservoirs in eastern Kansas. In addition to John Redmond, the report notes Cheney Reservoir, which is used for water supply by the city of Wichita, will drop to about 60 percent of its normal capacity by Nov. 1, and Tuttle Creek outside of Manhattan will be just below 50 percent of its capacity by Nov. 1. Lakes near Lawrence fare better. Both Clinton and Perry lakes are expected to be at about 80 percent of their normal capacity by Nov. 1. Lewis said John Redmond was the lake drawing the most concern from the Kansas Water Authority, the state board that oversees a variety of water issues. THE LAKE plays an important role in providing water to cool the reactor of the state’s only nuclear power plant. The Wolf Creek Power plant uses the 5,000-acre Coffey County Lake to directly cool the power plant. But Wolf Creek uses water from John Redmond and the Neosho River to keep Coffey County Lake full. Lately, Wolf Creek hasn’t been able to replenish Coffey County Lake at its normal rates. But Hageman said Coffey County Lake still has plenty of water to maintain normal operations at the plant for the foreseeable future. Thus far, Coffey County Lake is only two feet below its normal levels. Officials at the Kansas Water Office agree the power plant isn’t facing an immediate shortage of water. “They have a good supply of water in their cooling lake right now,� Lewis said. “But if the drought goes on

for another year, that might be another situation.� Hageman said Coffey County Lake would have to drop another 11 feet before the water levels were too low for the plant to operate. Even in that scenario, Hageman said the plant would still have plenty of water to keep the nuclear reactor cooled in a shutdown mode. Hageman said Coffey County Lake was built with an area called the “ultimate heat sink.� It is a particularly deep part of the lake that is designed to hold water during the severest of droughts or emergencies. “There would be sufficient supply there even if you lost the dam and all the water drained out of Coffey County Lake,� Hageman said. Wolf Creek officials, though, obviously are hoping for rain to refill the lakes this fall and next spring. If the power plant had to shut down for any extended period of time, the three utility companies that own the plant would have to buy power elsewhere to compensate for the losses at Wolf Creek. Wolf Creek supplies electricity to large parts of eastern Kansas and western Missouri. The plant produces enough electricity to power about 800,000 homes. Lawrence City Manager David Corliss, who serves on the Kansas Water Authority, said the John Redmond situation is important for more reasons than just Wolf Creek. “John Redmond is kind of the canary in the coal mine,� Corliss said. “It is the thing that reminds eastern Kansas, which thinks it has a plentiful water supply, that there are issues we need to be paying attention to here.� Corliss said he hopes the recent drought will cause leaders to have more discussion about the need to dredge area lakes. As lakes fill in with sedimentation, their capacity to store water during droughts is diminished. “In this part of the state we have been in a more favorable position than others have been, but we don’t want to take that for granted,� Corliss said. “Clinton Lake sedimentation is kind of middle of the road, but it is not an issue we want to forget about.�

GOP ready to showcase Romney By CALVIN WOODWARD and DONNA CASSATA Associated Press

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Republicans eagerly looked to showcase Mitt Romney as a man who understands everyday Americans and a leader who can fix the economy, with GOP National Convention speeches today by the woman who knows him best and tough-talking New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. But with New Orleans and much of the Gulf Coast waiting fearfully to see where a massive storm makes landfall, politics became an awkward enterprise and no one knows what sort of party the GOP gathering will turn out to be. After a one-day weather delay, the convention proceeds according to its latest script: delivering Romney the presidential nomination he fought years to achieve, calling the party to unify around him and setting the stage for the final stretch of the hotly contested campaign to unseat President Barack Obama. Christie, who delivers tonight’s keynote address, said that for those Americans who aren’t yet sold on Romney, “you start turning it around tonight.” In a round of morning talk-show appearances, Christie said Ann Romney would humanize her husband for the nation, and that his own speech would make the case for GOP economic policies and Romney as the fixer. But ultimately, Christie said, it will up to Romney himself “to let the American people see who he is.” Eager to counter Romney’s economic pitch to middle-class voters, a super PAC supporting Obama unveiled an ad featuring a small business owner who criticized the candidate’s record on job

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus formally opens the convention in Tampa, Fla., Monday. growth as Massachusetts governor. The Romneys boarded a plane bound for Tampa, but it was a mystery whether the GOP candidate would attend the convention before his big address Thursday night. Vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan and his family, too, headed for Florida. Ryan delivers his speech Wednesday night. The high campaign season opens with Romney and Obama about even in the last of the pre-convention polls, with each candidate possessing distinct and important advantages. The Democrat is the more likable or empathetic leader; the Republican is more highly regarded as the candidate who can restore the economy, the top issue for voters. Ann Romney’s convention speech was designed to speak to that divide. It was an important part of the GOP’s effort to flesh out her husband and present him to the nation as more than a successful businessman and the former Republican governor of a Democratic state, Massachusetts. She went about the business of humanizing the

Romney family with a taped appearance on “CBS This Morning” in which she talked about the pain of a miscarriage. The Romneys have five sons. Isaac, the intensifying tropical storm bordering on a hurricane, skirted Tampa, a big relief for convention organizers worried about the safety of the host city and GOP delegates. But they remain saddled with the question of how to proceed with a political festival — one devoted both to scoring points against Obama and firing up excitement for Romney — under the shadow of a dangerous storm crawling toward the Gulf Coast. Tampa awoke to sunny skies today while convention planners monitored weather reports for the storm’s impact on the Gulf Coast some seven years since Hurricane Katrina devastated the region. Organizers essentially cut Monday from the schedule, calling the convention to order just long enough to recess it, and shoehorned their four-day showcase into the remaining three days. But even that was subject to change, depending on Isaac’s whims.

Police reports Arrests reported

Iola police officers arrested Bret Moon Thursday evening in the 400 block of South First Street for an arrest warrant issued out of Osage County. In addition, Chad Ranes was cited for theft. Police were called to South First Street after being told two men matching Moon’s and Ranes’ descriptions had been spotted stealing produce from the Elm Creek Community Garden. Iola police arrested Bobbie Nunnery, 38, for allegedly driving while intoxicated and transporting an open container of alcohol Friday during a traffic stop in the 1600 block of North State Street. Iolan Timothy Jones, 53, was arrested after he was identified as the perpetrator of an alleged home invasion in the 900 block of North Sycamore Street Saturday. Police said Jones fled the scene, but was later identified and arrested. Police are requesting a charge of aggravated burglary be filed against Jones from the Allen County attorney’s office. On Sunday, Jacqueline R. Layton, 34, Iola, was arrested in the 1000 block of East Street for allegedly driving while suspended and driving without a seat belt.

Charges requested

A domestic disturbance in the 10 block of North State Street Sunday led Iola police

officers to request charges of aggravated battery, criminal possession of a firearm, criminal discharge of a weapon and criminal charges be filed against a known suspect. The suspect’s name was not released. In a separate matter Sunday, a reported fight at Allen County Hospital has police requesting a battery charge be filed against a known suspect.

The warrant was issued due to an alleged probation violation.

Brake pads and rotors wear out Dear Tom and Ray:

This morning at the gym an acquaintance (Fred) told me that he took his car to a mechanic for some brake work, and the mechanic replaced the pads and rotors. Fred said that he wanted the mechanic to replace the pads but not the rotors. I asked him if the mechanic explained why he replaced the rotors too, and Fred said no. This led to a discussion. How do you know when the pads are all that need to be replaced versus when you need to buff or replace the rotors, too? What symptoms should we typical folks look for? Thanks. – Ed TOM: Well, the classic symptom of warped rotors is a pulsing in the brake pedal when stopping from high speeds. Sometimes

that’s accompanied by a simultaneous wobbling of the steering wheel. RAY: But that only tells you when your rotors are warped, not when they’re simply worn out. And my guess is that your friend Fred’s were worn out. TOM: Brake pads used to be relatively soft. They were made of asbestos. And they would wear out quickly. But the hard, metal rotors would last through several sets of pads. That’s

all changed. RAY: When we got rid of asbestos, brake pads began to be manufactured out of much harder materials -namely, metal. So now, the metal pads grind against the metal rotors, and they wear out at almost the same rate. TOM: So these days, 99 cars out of a hundred need to have their rotors replaced when the pads are swapped out. RAY: We almost always replace the rotors now rather than machine (resurface) them. When you machine a rotor, whether it’s on or off the car, you have to do at least two passes to do it right, and that takes a good half-hour of labor. You add the cost of using the machine, and you have

to charge 60 bucks a rotor. And you can BUY some brand-new rotors now for 30 bucks! So machining them rarely makes sense. TOM: There are exceptions. Some rotors won’t come off without breaking the wheel bearing, and we’ll machine those rotors right on the car if there’s enough metal left. But the vast majority of cars that come in for brake jobs these days get new pads and new rotors. RAY: And for those of you concerned about the environmental impact, don’t worry. Once a week, a guy named Stumpy comes in and collects all the used rotors for recycling -- where they’re shipped over to China and come back as fireplace implements.

Hibernating TB calls for treatment Dear Dr. Donohue: My son had blood work done for employment at a hospital. He tested positive for latent TB, so now he has to take isoniazid for nine months. Is this a normal treatment for this kind of infection? What is the prognosis once he is done? He is working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on this, so we hope they know what they are doing. We question the testing method. It was a blood test, not the usual scratch test. He has no idea when he was infected. He may have caught it at college. If it’s that easy to catch, why isn’t there a TB epidemic going on? — J.T. Answer: Latent TB indicates that a TB germ resides in the body, usually the lungs, and that it has gone into hibernation. Later in life, it can waken from its sleep, generate new TB germs and set off an active case of tuberculosis. Close to 80 percent of adult TB is due to this kind of reactivation. Your son does not have TB, and he’s not contagious. He does need treatment to eliminate the possibility that the germ will spring to life in the future. The chances of that happening range from 1 percent to 13 percent -- not extremely high, but high enough to pose a threat to him and to others. An epidemic isn’t going on because we have effective treatments for TB, active and latent. The TB blood test is a new test that is better at detecting infection, both active and latent, gives quicker results and doesn’t require the tested

ZITS

Dr. Paul Donohue To Your Good Health person to return to the doctor to interpret the test. Both the skin test and the blood test are still used, but the blood test is becoming more popular in places where it can be used. Standard treatment for latent TB is nine months of isoniazid treatment. Recently, in December 2011, the CDC introduced an alternate regimen for latent TB, consisting of three months of weekly treatment of isoniazid with rifapentine. Your son will do fine on the treatment he started with. He doesn’t have to change horses midstream. Dear Dr. Donohue: I am a 72-year-old woman who had a scope exam of my stomach and esophagus done a few weeks ago. The next morning I woke and heard a loud whooshwhoosh in my left ear. I took my blood pressure and it was in the 150s, so I made an appointment with the family doctor for that day. He did not seem overly concerned but put me on another BP medi-

cine. The sound in my ear is not quite as loud, but is still there. It sometimes makes me want to scream. Do you have any idea what to do about this noise? I hesitate to exercise since it started. — L.C. Answer: That whooshwhoosh noise has a name: pulsatile tinnitus. It’s in sync with blood rushing through arteries with each heartbeat. It often results from aging, but it

can have serious implications that need exploring. Blood vessel malformations near the ear, narrowing of neck arteries and high blood pressure are a few of the causes. I can’t explain why it came on after the scope exam. Since the new blood pressure medicine hasn’t eliminated it, I’d go back to the doctor and ask if other tests might be appropriate at this time.

DAILY CRYPTOQUOTES - Here’s how to work it:

Sudoku is like a crossword puzzle, but uses numbers instead of words. The puzzle is a box of 81 squares, subdivided into 3x3 cubes of 9 squares each. Some squares are filled in with numbers. The rest should be filled in by the puzzler. Fill in the blank squares allowing the numbers 1-9 to appear only once in every row, once in every column and once in every 3x3 box. One-star puzzles are for beginners, and the difficulty gradually increases through the week to a very challenging fivestar puzzle.
