Ambulance merger proposed By BOB JOHNSON bob@iolaregister.com
Economic realities may force city and county directors to develop one ambulance service — at last. At Friday’s meeting of the Ambulance Advisory Committee, members agreed to ask city and county directors to develop a plan to merge the two services. Sheriff Tom Williams made the proposal, which calls for Ron Conaway, a registered nurse and firefighter who directs Iola’s service, and Jason Nelson, Allen County ambulance director, to resolve differences and “come back with a plan.” “Let’s have the two services (directors) come up with a hybrid plan that’s good for all of Allen County, and get over the animosity,” Williams said. Conaway said he had been working on a merger and welcomed the opportunity to work with Nelson. Nelson, too, embraced the proposal. Budget figures for 2013 for the two services are about $2.3 million, including $1.3 million for the county’s. When all services were together, with volunteers operating ambulances from Humboldt and Moran, cost was $260,000 in 2006. The next year, with paid crews

A close call
Above, an approaching storm front Friday afternoon creates an ominous shelf cloud moments before torrential downpours and strong winds whipped through Gas. Right, this large limb fell across the street in the 300 block of South Cottonwood Friday afternoon just moments after a truck passed under during a siege of high wind that accompanied a cold front as it darted through the area. Heavy rain also was a part of the storm.

The upcoming Allen Community College drama season will feature mystery and suspense, large doses of humor and plenty of music. “We have an exciting year planned,” said Tony Piazza, drama instructor at the college. Rehearsals are under way for the college’s opening production of the 2012-13 season, “Dames At Sea” which runs Oct. 11-13 at the Bowlus Fine Arts Center. “Dames” is a collaboration of the college’s music and theater departments under the direction of Susan McKinnis. It is a light-hearted satire of grand musicals of the 1930s. “It’s an affectionate spoof,” said McKinnis. “The people who wrote it are making fun of it beSee ACC | Page A7
Campaign ahead: decisions voters will make By DAVID LIGHTMAN McClatchy Newspapers
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The 2012 presidential election’s battle lines are now sharper and the choices more vivid than at any time since at least the mid-1960s. Voters had distinct choices in that era’s elections. They debated civil rights, the creation of Medicare, the Vietnam War, and Barack Obama law and order. This year’s political options are as diverse. Voters will not only select Mitt Romney or Barack Obama, they’ll also send a message about the role of government that could reverberate and re-
shape how people pay taxes, get help when times are tough and manage their health care. To Romney, the Republican presidential nominee, government’s mission is to promote opportunity with lower taxes, less regulation, more private involvement in health care and a climate where business can thrive and hire. Obama views Washington as a source of service and support for those who need better education, training and maybe financial help to become productive members of society. The back-to-back political conventions that ended Thursday reintroduced Obama and Romney as not just the standard-bearers of their parties, but as champions for polarized ideologies. Perhaps just as important to this year’s political storyline, the two weeks of gavel-to-gavel politics gave voters a close look Vol. 114, No. 220
at the candidates’ contrasting styles. Spouses, surrogates and supporters tried to portray them as caring, thoughtful leaders with deep political souls, but also soft edges. Personality will matter, particularly in a race that’s been Mitt Romney a virtual tie for weeks. “People make a very personal choice,” said Sen. Robert Casey, D-Pa. “They don’t take out a yellow legal pad and make a list of positions. They ask who will be on their side.” Romney heads into the fall campaign regarded as the skilled manager who absorbs data and then devises ways to make systems work. Obama is the unflappable thinker who believes See CAMPAIGN | Page A5

USD 257 board will meet in LaHarpe By ALLISON TINN allison@iolaregister.com
The USD 257 Board of Education will take a trip down memory lane Monday when members host their regularly scheduled meeting at LaHarpe City Hall. The building used to be LaHarpe Elementary School. The district closed the school in 2009 and donated the building to the city, which made it into a community building and city hall. “It is a special opportunity for our school board to go back and speak with the community of LaHarpe,” USD 257 Superintendent of Schools Brian Pekarek said. “Every community is important to our district.” The idea to hold the meeting in LaHarpe came from the recent busing issue.

When LaHarpe parents whose children attend Marmaton Valley petitioned for a bus pickup to be moved inside LaHarpe city limits, concern rose that USD 257 would lose more students to Marmaton Valley. “We became very cognizant of our school district. LaHarpe is still USD 257,” Pekarek said. The school board is hoping for a large turnout. Parents and community members will have a chance to speak at a public forum if they wish, Pekarek said. “It gives us a good chance to go see the old school and talk to community members,” Pekarek said. ALSO ON the board’s agenda will be online surveys. Tuesday, an online survey will See USD 257 | Page A8

Obituaries
Alene May Gardner, 91, Iola, went to be with the Lord Sunday, Sept. 2, 2012, at Iola Nursing Center. Her husband, Robert L. Gardner, and nephews Richard M. Eldridge Sr. and Richard M. Eldridge Jr., preceded her in death. Alene was born Oct. 24, 1920, in Iola, the only child of Carl and Bessie (Jackman) McFann. She grew up in Iola where she graduated from high school in 1938. She graduated from Iola Junior College in 1940 and then attended Pittsburg State Teacher’s College. She taught at Lincoln Elementary until she married the love of her life, Robert Gardner, on Oct. 11, 1942, Alene Gardner in Palmyra, Mo. They made their home in Iola after he served in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II. She worked for Ableson Cleaners in the front office as a button maker and in the office of J.C. Penney before working at Bunt Warren Agency. She became a broker and agent before retiring from the agency. Mr. Gardner preceded her in death on May 7, 1997. Alene was an active member of Trinity United Methodist Church, where she served as the lay member to Annual Conference and was UMW Conference chairperson. She was lay leader and belonged to United Methodist Women and served as past president and member of the Iola Jaycee Jaynes. She also was past president of the Iola BPW. Survivors include her nephew and nieces, Larry Mark and his wife, Anna, Tulsa, and their children, Larry and his wife, Sheley, and Sueann; Linda Cotner and her husband, Richard, Broken Arrow, Okla., and their children Mark and his wife, Tami, Mike and Kevin and his wife, Crystal; Nellene Eldridge, wife of the late Richard Mark Eldridge Sr., Tulsa, and her children Richard Mark Jr., Chris and his wife, Amanda, Ryan and his wife, Ashley, and Michael; and dearest friend Sandy Zornes and her husband, Terry, Iola.

An ultra fast broadband network is as important to a rural city’s growth as electricity was 100 years ago, J.D. Lester told Iola Rotarians Thursday. Lester is city manager of Chanute, which has done for itself what Google is doing for Kansas City — providing broadband service through fiber optic cables that can carry a nearly infinite amount of information instantaneously to Chanute government offices, schools, industries and other businesses from the Internet and throughout the network. Lester said Chanute has been building the fiber optic network since 1984 and is now among a few communities in Kansas to have such widely available high speed broadband capacities. The network is one of the reasons that Spirit Aero Systems recently chose to locate a plant

there, Lester said. He believes the network will make Chanute attractive to other high-wage businesses and industries. The system is also in use in the Chanute Public Library, the hospital, the city and county offices and several of the city’s industries. Community National Banks use the network for phone systems and other inter-bank communications. Broadband fiber optic systems are expensive to build, which is why large communication companies such as Cox do not do so in towns the size of Chanute or Iola. They don’t see how they can earn enough from them in small towns to make the investment pay off, Lester said. Chanute was able to build its system using city employees over a long period of time, he explained. Lester was introduced by Bill Maness, program chairman.

Ripples can benefit everyone Have you ever stood at the edge of a pool of water and noticed how calm and serene it is? Then you toss in a pebble and the water ripples from one to another and another until the ripples reach the other side of the pool? That ripple effect goes on every day in Iola. Take, for example, the Citizens Involvement Task Force/Pride Group. This past summer alone, CITF/ Pride spearheaded projects that have rippled into partnerships with many other groups. Second story windows in downtown Iola have come alive with paintings and curtains that spark many to wonder what lies behind them. The group worked with Berkley Kerr and Iola Parks
Allen County Crime Stoppers is joining similar organizations across the globe to recognize September as Crime Stoppers Month. Local organizers are using the occasion to highlight Crime Stoppers’ successes locally and worldwide. Since Allen County’s launch in January 1995, tips have been responsible for solving numerous crimes, including drug offenses, break-ins, thefts, property offenses and even kidnappings, according to a Crime Stoppers press release. Worldwide, Crime Stoppers has been cited in the
Department to help paint trim around the Recreation Community Building and Iola Municipal Pool in Riverside Park. Members also worked with the Kiwanis Club to build forts and tugboats as playground equipment. The ripple continues with Thrive Allen County and its partnerships. Thrive works with several groups in Allen County and southeast Kansas. Thrive soon will co-host the Portland Alley Marathon
starting in Chanute, running through Humboldt and ending in Iola. Other civic organizations depend on support groups that work to improve their communities or bolster families in times of need. We have USD 257 and its partnership with Windsor Place to develop the Ageto-Age Preschool. USD 257 also offers SAFE BASE activities, as well as programs through the Bowlus Fine Arts Center. The ripples from these educational opportunities are nonstop. The ripples grow into waves with the Extension and 4-H groups. Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts always have some sort of projects going on to teach leadership and provide service to the communities. The waves continue with
Allen County Historical Society and preservation work that it does on a daily basis. The Iola Area Chamber of Commerce is in the middle of the pool as the ripples come together and fan out as we partner with many of these programs. I am fortunate to have great members and ambassadors to help us move forward When I am asked what is going on in Iola, I smile and reply with a question of my own: In what regard? I know I have not begun to cover all the organizations and groups that help improve the area. But, I hope I have given you enough information to create a thought process for each of you to reach out and see if you, too, can create a ripple effect.
resolution of more than 946,000 crimes. Elizabeth Donnelly, chair of Allen County Crime Stoppers, said the organization has become a useful weapon in the arsenal law enforcement officers have in their battle against crime. “The police representatives and volunteers who help run our Crime Stoppers program are dedicated individuals and have a common goal to ensure our community is safe,” Donnelly said. “We are proud of our successes and pleased to be part of a national organization that has achieved such
phenomenal results on a collective basis.” Corporal Michael Ford, coordinator of the Allen County group, said the work of investigators must also be recognized in the success of the Crime Stoppers program. “It is important for people to call tips to Crime Stoppers, and it’s essential that investigators methodically follow up on the information to gather all available evidence and identify criminals who committed the crimes,” he said. Those with information regarding unsolved crimes may call (800) 222-TIPS

There are instructions on how to text a tip located in the “Text a Tip” page. Any tip leading to the resolution of a crime makes the tipster eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.

Lovebirds saved after proposal goes awry CASEVILLE, Mich. (AP) — Two Michigan sheriff ’s deputies can expect wedding invitations in their future for rescuing a couple who became stranded on an island during a meticulously planned, elaborate marriage proposal that apparently accounted for everything but bad weather. Nathan Bluestein, Northville, and May Gorial, Madison Heights, set out by canoe Saturday in Wild Fowl Bay near Caseville, about 110 miles north of Detroit, the Huron County sheriff ’s department said. Gorial, 32, accepted the proposal, but strong wind and waves kept them from returning to shore. Bluestein, 27, told the Detroit Free Press that he had been planning the proposal for months. He tucked a message in a bottle inside a lunch bag that he brought on the trip. “I made sure that she never could touch the lunch bag,” he said “I
had it around my arm the whole time.” Inside the bottle was a sheet of paper, soaked in tea and burned around the edges, with a poem written in French. Gorial, a French teacher at Bishop Foley Catholic High School in Madison Heights, began reading and translating the poem before finding a proposal written in English on another piece of paper. “The way I look at it ... she’s my best friend and the love of my life,” Bluestein said. The two talked and snapped pictures, and didn’t realize they were too far from land. They ended up on North Island and the sheriff ’s department sent the two deputies by boat from Caseville. Bluestein and Gorial don’t have a wedding date set, but the deputies will definitely be invited to the event. “If it wasn’t for them, we wouldn’t have seen the wedding day,” Gorial said.
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Kansas Arts Foundation raised nearly $105,000 in its first year but made no allocations to local arts groups, according to documents submitted to the Internal Revenue Service. The IRS documents also show the foundation, which was created to secure private funds to support the arts in the state, spent $15,000 of its $16,800 in expenses on receptions, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported Friday. “It takes a goodly amount of work to organize a foundation,” said Linda Browning Weis, the foundation’s president. “We’ve been visiting with various communities.” The organization earmarked $20,000 to support the creation of a Kansas license plate to promote the arts, she said. The Kansas Arts Foundation was formed before Gov. Sam Brownback vetoed legislation last year that allocated $700,000 in state aid to the Kansas Arts Commission, which has been disbanded. Brownback later proposed creating a Kansas Creative Arts Industries Commission, and the Legislature allocated $700,000 to the Kansas Department of Commerce to distribute to arts through the new commission. The creative arts commission has not yet had its first meeting. Brownback’s veto of funding made Kansas the only state without a pub-

Calvary UMW meet
Eleven Calvary United Methodist Women members met Tuesday. Hostesses Irene Smith and Kim Romig served refreshments. Smith offered the lesson, “We In The World,” about being thrifty and conserving resources. Evva Irwin assisted by reading Scripture from I Kings 17:8-16 and Carolyn Clubine read Scripture from John 6:32-35. Clubine said conservation might be easier for those raised during the Great Depression because life depended on being frugal.
Romig gave the devotion by reading a newspaper article welcoming the new UMC minister at Burlington. The Rev. Moon-Hee Chung began serving the church July 1. She was a pastor at the First United Methodist Church, Manhattan, from 2003 until moving to Burlington. Club officers agreed to keep the same positions they held last year. Jeanne Smith was appointed cotreasurer. Members voted to raise the club’s budget for 2013 by $4. The budget will be finalized in October. Members approved host-
licly funded arts agency, leaving it ineligible for $1.2 million in annual federal and regional matching grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Mid-America Arts Alliance. Henry Schwaller, a past chairman of the Kansas Arts Commission, said the state aid and the foundation’s efforts to raise funds didn’t come close to covering the shortfall created by that loss of funding. He said the arts foundation would have to raise $100,000 a month to match assistance previously made available by those two granting agencies. “It shows just how difficult it is to raise private sector money for the arts,” Schwaller said. State Rep. Paul Davis, a Lawrence Democrat who opposed elimination of state aid to the arts, said he wasn’t surprised the foundation struggled to raise funds. Funding the Creative Arts Industries Commission might improve chances of renewing grant support from NEA and Mid-America, he said. “That is really the key,” Davis said. “We have to be able to leverage that money to make this work.” The state’s 2013 application to the NEA is due at the end of September, but Schwaller said state officials hadn’t conducted the public outreach required to be considered for that federal support.

Museum helpers lauded
Drought still plagues Midwest
Donna Houser needed some muscle to continue her artistry at the Allen County Historical Society this week. Enter Mario Edelora and Raul Haro, employees at nearby El Charro Mexican Restaurant. The pair helped move two items that had been a part of a display on antique medical equipment. The items were an examination table from the early 1900s and a doctor’s chair. The table weighs in at an estimated 500 pounds, Houser said; the chair another 200. Aside from the sheer bulk, each has an assortment of moving parts, making both heavy and awkward to carry. Both were placed in the museum window by a herd of volunteers this summer organized by former museum director Jeff Kluever. “After Jeff left, we didn’t know who to turn to for help,” Houser said.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Hurricane Isaac’s remnants dumped heavy rain on some key Midwest farming states, dramatically lessening the drought there while corn-producing heavyweights Iowa and Nebraska missed out on that moisture and saw their conditions worsen, according to a drought report released Thursday. The U.S. Drought Monitor’s weekly report came as federal forecasters separately warned that the worst drought in decades could persist for months in a large swath of the central and southern Plains, portions of the Rockies and much of California. “Most of these areas are moving toward a climatologically drier time of year, and there is no compelling indication that substantially above-normal precipitation will fall during the next three months,” according to the National Weather Service’s Seasonal Drought Outlook. That would be bad news
Mario Edelora, left, and Raul Haro recently helped Allen County Historical Society members move a 500-pound table and 200-pound doctor’s chair. volunteer, quickly thought of Edelora and Haro, who took all of 30 minutes to carefully remove the items from the window and transport them to the Frederick Funston meeting hall on the opposite side of the courthouse square.
Edelora said he and Haro are eager to help the Historical Society again if need arises. “All they need to do is ask,” he said. Houser is serving as interim director until a permanent director is hired.

ogist who authored Thursday’s update. Even in states that got rain from Isaac — in some cases as much as 10 inches — the relief came far too late in the growing season to offer much help to withered corn crops, which already are being harvested. But there was reason to cheer, as other crops such as soybeans still are maturing. Southeast of St. Louis near Coulterville, Ill., Dean Campbell concedes “Isaac blessed us with some water,” by some accounts several inches. But that won’t save his 900-acre corn crop bound for being a bust. With about 40 percent of his harvest done, Campbell says he’s averaging a “very, very poor” 14 bushels per acre — a snippet of the 130 bushels he normally gets.

for Nebraska, which paid an especially high price for losing out on Isaac’s rainfall as the storm moved northward through the central U.S. The area of that state deemed to be in exceptional drought — the highest classification — ballooned 47 percent, to 71 percent, in the seven-day period ending Tuesday, the latest Drought Monitor update showed. In Iowa, the nation’s biggest corn producer, the area of land deemed to be in exceptional or extreme drought rose 4 percentage points, to 62 percent. When it comes to states getting moisture during this worst drought in two generations, “it’s just like it’s been all summer — there are the haves and the have-nots,” said Brian Fuchs, a National Drought Mitigation Center climatol-

sues. A key convention goal was to humanize Romney’s wooden, out-of-touch, richguy image. The convention featured wife Ann talking about “this boy I met at a high school dance,” and a video about her husband’s history of helping others. Obama had a different mission: Show that his policies were working, if slowly, and that he’s still the “hope and change” president. His soft side came from wife Michelle, who recalled how Barack Obama picked her up for dates in a rusted car where “I could actually see the pavement going by through a hole in the passenger-side door.” Polls suggested Obama kept his edge in the likability sweepstakes. A bigger unknown remains how the appeals to the bases will play. Both parties adopted
ernment has a vital role in pulling besieged Americans out of their economic ditch. The candidates’ pitches during these conventions were a preview of the campaign rhetoric in the weeks ahead. The concepts they want chiseled into American psyches were often plainspoken bromides for complex problems. The conventions had two major goals: energize the party’s most ardent supporters and make others like and trust the candidate. Romney’s forces maintain they expected little gain in the polls. Top strategist Stuart Stevens said that because the campaigns had been going full blast all summer, the public had little to learn about the candidates’ positions on is-
unusually rigid ideological platforms, Democrats in an effort to appeal to liberals, Republicans to conservatives. In such fierce, unpredictable political combat, such non-economic issues could motivate just enough voters to tip the race. The campaign will be fought largely in about a dozen states that appear too close to call. The next big test comes in about a month, when the first Obama-Romney debate is scheduled. Ultimately, the election is about the economy, and all about who can best do the job to revive it. “Strip away all the varnish and goodwill from the (convention) speakers,” said Republican Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, “and you’re going to get back to what Americans really care about.”

coln Street, Eyster said. “This way we can garden all year round,” she said. “The goal is to supplement the cooking classes and the after-school snacks with what is grown.” The greenhouse is expected to go up in November. Presidential inspiration will even be spread to the trees. Espalier trees will be added to the garden this year, which may be seen at Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello in Virginia. IN ADDITION to boosting patriotic morale this year, SAFE BASE also will enhance its social media presence on Facebook. “If people like us on Facebook then not just parents, but family and friends in the community can keep up with what we are doing,” Eyster said. “We will be posting pictures on Facebook and keeping the page constantly updated.” Keeping Facebook updated can help parents, especially the ones who
work, stay up to date with what their children are doing, according to Eyster. To visit the site search for SAFE BASE in the Facebook search engine. EACH YEAR, finding money to keep the program afloat is a “bit of a challenge,” Eyster said. This year’s funding is from two main grants, the Healthcare Foundation of Greater Kansas City and the federal 21st Century. “November, I start looking for the next way to get SAFE BASE funded,” Eyster said. “We turn over every rock.” THERE ARE roughly 190 students enrolled to date and there is no deadline for applications. “Students will come in on Monday and sign up,” Henry said. “We are expecting a little over 200 students to be enrolled.” For more information or to enroll for classes contact the SAFE BASE office at (620) 365-4780.

In other classes students will learn how to be “White House Chefs” or what it takes to be a good leader. “Blue Plate Special” is a cooking class on Wednesdays, where students will learn to prepare meals for their families, focusing on a particular fruit or vegetable of the month. On Nov. 5, they will have their first “Blue Plate Dinner,” for which students will prepare a family and community dinner. “It is the night before the election, so we will have a two-man group performing a skit called ‘The Presidents,’” Henry said. “They will be doing 45 presidents in 45 minutes.” Gardening will be a big focus for SAFE BASE students this year.

Opinion
Bill Clinton lifts Democrat hopes with fiery talk Bill Clinton wound up his eight years in the White House with the national budget in balance and the national debt declining. “When I am asked how I did that, I have a one-word answer: arithmetic,” he said. Clinton’s 45-minute speech was full of forceful rhetoric. But none of his analysis was more to the point: the numbers must add up. National revenue must be greater than national spending to bring the deficit down. President Obama’s budget plan calls for higher taxes on the wealthy, less spending on war and fewer loopholes and tax breaks that let revenues leak. Mitt Romney’s budget plan starts with another huge tax cut that will slash federal revenue by trillions and moves from there to higher spending on the military. As Clinton dryly observed, taking in less and spending more is a formula for bigger deficits and an even higher national debt. Clinton warned his audience the nation couldn’t afford a Republican administration that would “double down on trickle down.” But his main theme was positive. He called for bipartisanship and cooperation. He praised the presidency of Dwight D. Eisenhower and noted that President Obama had appointed Republicans to his cabinet and had even appointed Hillary Clinton secretary of state, despite the fact that they had opposed each other in the race for the 2008 Democratic nomination. Clinton agreed that the economy was still struggling. He observed that Obama inherited a much weaker economy than he did when he took office in 1993. No president could have repaired the damage in just four years, he said. “But conditions are improving and if you’ll renew the president’s contract, you will feel it (renewed prosperity),” he said. To emphasize that point, Clinton said Democratic presidents have created millions more jobs over the past 52 years than their Republican
counterparts. Since 1961, Republicans have held the White House for 28 years and Democrats for 24 years. The U.S. economy produced 66 million private sector jobs over that period. Forty-two million of them came during Democratic administrations, and 24 million came during Republican administrations, he said. Still on the topic, Clinton said Obama’s decision to bail out the auto industry produced an additional 250,000 wellpaid jobs building cars. Those jobs were created not just in Chrysler and General Motors and their dealerships, but also at auto parts manufacturing plants across the country. Romney was a high-profile critic of the auto bailout who said the companies should have been allowed to go bankrupt and shut down. Clinton also praised the Affordable Health Care Act. Because the law requires health insurance companies to spend 80 percent of premiums they collect on health care rather than profits or promotion or give refunds to policy holders, the companies have been forced to pay out more that $1 billion in refunds this year. The law also provides people between 19 and 26 coverage under their parents policies and expands preventive care coverage to seniors. Under the law, Medicaid will be expanded to cover millions who are now uncovered, and provide a dependable source of income to hospitals and medical clinics. He also pointed out that Romney’s plan to increase Medicare spending by billions that Obama had trimmed from it would mean it would go broke eight years sooner. THE FORMER president’s political rhetoric can cut like a razor even while his face is wreathed in smiles. Here may be his best zinger of the night: “The Republican election logic goes like this: We left the country in an awful mess in 2008. Obama hasn’t cleaned it up fast enough. So toss him out and put us back in.” — Emerson Lynn, jr.
Truth can be a bitter medicine to swallow I admired President Obama’s honesty Thursday night when he addressed the Democratic convention. He admitted the country isn’t where he had hoped it would be by the end of his first term. “I won’t pretend the path I’m offering is quick or easy; I never have.” Truth is, as columnist David Brooks noted, “… we were certainly worse off than we knew,” when Obama took office in 2009, because of a trajectory begun more than 40 years ago that included overspending and an unsustainable system of entitlements, including Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, that all were laid bare when the financial crisis of 2008 came to roost. “It will take more than a few years for us to solve challenges that have built up over decades,” Obama said. And then he focused on how as a country we are on the right path to more than just economic recovery but also to a more just and fair society — for everyone. Obama spoke in the collective sense, rather than as an individual. “We built it” was the mantra for the recent Republican convention — and speaker after speaker touted his or her individual successes or that of their ancestors. The phrase is a retort to Obama’s speech about how government programs are essential to everyone’s success. Schools, roads, post offices, health care, our Armed Forces — combine to allow us as individual citizens to start with a leg up. To say we have become successful all by ourselves is to deny the benefits of family and community. Each generation stands on the shoulders of the one that went before.
Susan Lynn Register editor
SOCIAL PROGRAMS and other benefits have become so ingrained in our lives that most of us don’t even realize we’re feeding at the federal trough. Most taxpayers, for example, look forward to deducting the interests on our home mortgages come tax time. That’s a tax credit enjoyed mainly by middle class workers. The wealthy own their homes outright. Republicans want to eliminate the benefit. For the poor, their version of a tax credit is the earned income tax credit. In those cases, lowincome workers get a refund on their taxes because they don’t make enough income to get them much above poverty. Republicans also want to eliminate that benefit. If your children take advantage of the free- or reduced-priced breakfasts and lunches at the public school, you’re on the dole. And more than once I’ve heard people disparage President Obama’s health care plan but then tell me how Medicare paid for a hip or knee replacement. More and more, people are taking advantage of government largess, yet still claim they are leading self-sufficient lives. The numbers say otherwise. Today, the federal government provides almost $1 in benefits for every $4 in other income. The elderly benefit the most primarily through Social Security and Medicare. But with a growing segment of our population falling
behind faster, services such as Medicaid are being depended on more and more. Americans’ dependence on government benefits has more than doubled since 1969. The top three benefits are Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. In all three programs, the citizens of Allen County receive almost double the national average of benefits, illustrating our demographics of being poorer and older than the national average. Aid to low-income families through food stamps, disability payments and the earned income tax credit in southeast Kansas average $920 a year, up from $128 about 40 years ago. THE BEST WAY to battle the dependency on government programs is to raise the living standards of our poor. Poverty is the number one cause of poor attendence at schools, for poor attendance at work, for the breakdown of the family. Yes, we need to bring down skyrocketing health care costs. Health insurance premiums are ridiculously expensive. Medical specialists demand outrageous fees coupled with unnecessary tests and surgeries. And many prescription drugs are way overpriced. Until all three industries — pharmaceutical, medical, and insurance — are regulated, we’ll be at their mercy to pay whatever they charge. Tough answers remain for myriad problems. It’s exactly during these times the truth is what we need most. As our president said, “You didn’t elect me to tell you what you wanted to hear. You elected me to tell you the truth.” Gulp.
Anderson: a hero in his own way A couple of months after his 22nd birthday, Iolan Fred Anderson and another GI, weapons at hand, lounged against a palm tree on a Leyte beach in the Philippines. Their mission that sunny October day in 1944 was to provide security for what proved to be a signature — and much publicized — event of World War II. As Anderson and his buddy watched, Gen. Douglas MacArthur waded ashore, fulfilling his promise of two years earlier to return to the Philippines. Anderson, who died this week at age 90, never forgot the event, and if his memory might have gotten a little foggy in later life, he had a memento to remind him of his place in history. A photograph published in Life magazine a few days after MacArthur’s return clearly showed Anderson and the other GI in the background.
At Week’s End Bob Johnson
At the time the photo was snapped, Anderson rather would have been relaxing in camp, waiting his turn for a shower and hot food, an everyday occurrence he had taken for granted before the war but which became an event in itself during his time in the Pacific. Anderson was involved in several landings in the Allies’ march through a series of islands en route to the defeat of Japan. Some nights were cut short by missions to ambush Japanese patrols in the thick jungles. Often his bed was a shallow depression in a sea
of sand that gnawed at his skin. AFTER THE war Anderson returned to Iola, married Norma Meredith and settled into everyday life. He worked as a bookkeeper for Bud White Motors and Cyrus Truck Line, and never made any big splashes in work-a-day Iola. His time back home was the same as most others who gave two, three, even four years of their lives — or all of what was to remain — to ensure democracy was preserved. Anderson was a friend of mine, and a friend of many. I never saw him without a smile. He always took time to visit. Fred Anderson was Iola’s everyman, among the legions who in their own ways and times have made this little corner of the world such a delightful place to live.

H ACC
THE ACTING troupe takes
on Jeffrey Hatcher’s adaptation of “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” Nov. 29-Dec. 1 at the Allen College Theatre. Hatcher’s story differs from Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic tale in that several ensemble characters will get an opportunity to portray Mr. Hyde, depending on who is possessing a cryptic cane. “It’s a great story; a psychological mystery,” Piazza said. “I’m excited about it.”
THE COLLEGE will once again feature the works of Iola playwright Nic Olson Feb. 28-March 2 with “Nic At Night,” a series of short stories all penned by Olson, including a longer, 30-minute romantic comedy “So, This One Time.” Piazza will direct the longer show. The students themselves will serve as directors for the shorter skits. “We did a reading of (‘So, This One Time’) in the spring and it was very well received,” Piazza said. “It was sharp and funny and really didn’t need much of anything.” THE SPRING production has another musical slant with “33 Variations,” a look at the latter stages of composer Ludwig van Beethoven’s life.
The play offers parallel tales of a musicologist and her attempts to understand why Beethoven spent the last few years of his life creating 33 variations of an ordinary waltz by a composer he really didn’t respect, Piazza explained. The story weaves the musicologist’s story with that of Beethoven’s life, while a third story follows that of the musicologist’s daughter and her life. Tying the story together is Beethoven’s music, played by Clous on a single piano on stage. “It really ties together very well,” Piazza said. AS HAS become custom at ACC, “Lighten Up,” the college’s improv troupe will perform the first Wednesday

“ We’ve done Shakespeare in the park, we’ve
done melodramas, I figured it was time to try a musical. — Tony Piazza Drama instructor at Allen Community College
after each production at the College Theatre. There, students will perform a number of unscripted scenes and games, relying solely on their creativity. “Of course, being college humor, it’s probably geared more for older audiences,” Piazza said. The improv troupe works under the guidance of Terri Piazza, Tony’s wife and fellow drama instructor. THE COLLEGE wraps up the season June 21-22 with “45 Minutes From Broadway,” the college’s summer theater in the park production. Piazza opted for a musical instead of the traditional
melodramas of the past several summers. “We’ve done Shakespeare in the park, we’ve done melodramas,” Piazza said. “I figured it was time to try a musical.” Clous again will assist with “45 Minutes,” another “musical within a musical” type of show, Piazza said. “He’s a player. He loves to play,” Piazza said. The show will feature a number of musical standards, such as “Yankee Doodle Dandy,” “You’re a Grand Ole Flag” and “Send My Regards to Broadway.” “We’ve got a strong group of actors,” Piazza said. “It should be a fun season.”
H Ambulance Continued from A1
operating ambulances, including Iola firefighters/ emergency medical technicians, cost increased to $1.22 million. Inflation would be a factor, but with one service the supposition is cost would be in the range of what the county has budgeted for 2013. Jason Nelson, county director, said as much earlier this year when he proposed that with current county ambulances and crews he could cover all of the county at no additional cost. FOR 30 YEARS Allen County had one service with volunteers in Humboldt and Moran operating ambulances, and firefighters, trained as emergency medical technicians, operating those dispatched from Iola’s fire department. That changed about five years ago when the county opted to take full control, with its employees operating from the three towns, a move that led to Iola starting its own service. The county continued
“
I think we’ve had long enough. One service for Allen County under the county. That would save money and gives the best quality care at no more cost. — Vada Aikins Humboldt councilman
“
cause they really like musicals.” The story follows a young Broadway understudy portrayed by Emmaline Durand of Humboldt intent on being a star. Her theater, however, is about to be torn down so another site must be found — a ship. Archie Huskey, a Lincoln native who has several relatives in the Iola area, portrays Dick, Durand’s love interest. Other leading roles feature the talents of Bri Holliday and Mariah Nunley, Topeka, Nathan Hill, Allen, Michael De Los Santos, Ottawa, and Anthony Ellis, Colony. Ted Clous, ACCC music director, will oversee the musical accompaniment. “We certainly should be able to put on a clean show,”
McKinnis said. “We’ve got some good singers and lots of good production numbers.” Clous has been an invaluable contributor, McKinnis said, from working with the students “on how to sing for a musical versus singing in a choir.”
“
Continued from A1
to provide an ambulance subsidy of $80,000 a year to Iola, which now comes from county general fund coffers and isn’t reflected in its ambulance budget line item. In spring 2009, at the behest of new county commissioners Gary McIntosh and Rob Francis, efforts were made to reach some accord that would put all ambulances again under one thumb. Efforts failed. At the start of this year, county commissioners appointed a committee, with representatives from throughout the county, to tackle the issue once more. When no headway was forthcoming, committee members asked for the state to take a look, and an 85-page report resulted. In the Board of Emergency Services report, strengths and weaknesses of each service were outlined, and figures concerning operations, expenses and revenue were
illuminated. Options in the report were for two services to remain, for them to merge or service to be done by an outside provider. PRIOR TO Williams’ motion, Vada Aikins, Humboldt councilman, noted Allen County spent “many thousands of dollars” for its ambulance station on North State Street and “provides service as high as it can go” with type I, which requires a paramedic to be on each run. She recalled that Nelson said earlier the county could provide service to all of the county, including Iola, without spending any more money. “I think we’ve had long enough” for discussion, she added, and moved for “one service for Allen County under the county. That would save money and gives the best quality care at no more cost.” No second immediately occurred. Then Dick Works, county commission chairman, spoke up. “I would love it,” he said of Aikins’ proposal. “For 30 years Allen County was the sole provider. Five years ago Iola decided to duplicate service, and provides a lower level of service” to Iola residents. Early in the meeting, Conaway attempted to dispel concerns about Iola’s service not being type I, which requires a paramedic on every run. He said Iola had a number of paramedics and purposely didn’t staff all runs with the highest level of care because it wasn’t necessary, in such cases as a transfer from Allen County Hospital to a nursing home. Conaway said 90 percent of runs don’t require a paramedic. Thompson said a paramedic had state-approved ability to do advanced assessment of patients and administer drugs that emergency medical technicians legally couldn’t. Before he capped the meeting with the proposal for a merger, Williams said the report leaned toward combining the two services. “We need to think out of the box,” he said, “and blend the two services to the benefit of all citizens in the county at the least cost. Let’s try to think of something new.” Bill Maness, former Iola mayor, agreed that a hybrid service in a merger scenario incorporating the strengths of each would better serve the county. Weaknesses of each also should be considered in any merger effort, Thompson said.

Mustangs toss Trojans in Pioneer opener By JOCELYN SHEETS jocelyn@iolaregister.com
OSAWATOMIE — Iola High’s Mustangs opened the Pioneer League era with a resounding 4028 win on the road Friday night. The Mustangs dominated host Osawatomie High’s Trojans early and answered each Trojan rally. Iola scored 21 points in the first five and half minutes of the game. Osawatomie battled back on back-to-back touchdowns in the first quarter. The Trojans utilized their passing game with a strong northern wind behind them. Iola was up 21-13 at the end of the first quarter. Mustang head coach Doug Kerr talked earlier this week about putting up a lot of points early. That’s what the Mustangs did and staved off comeback threats by the Trojans. “We dominated on both sides of the ball from the start but part of the process of turning this program around is learning how to win,” Kerr said after he saw the Mustangs improve to 2-0 on the 2012 season. “We’re not there yet but we’re learning. I laid into them pretty good at halftime after we got out to a big lead and let them come back on us. We have to finish it and we coached them up pretty hard in the second half.” Iola rolled up 482 yards of offense — 385 coming on the ground. John Whitworth rushed for 163 yards on 14 carries and scored two touchdowns. Jacob Rhoads had 83 yards on 10 carries. Tyler McIntosh started the ball rolling for Iola with a 33-yard run on his way to 75 yards total for the See MUSTANGS | B2

Wildcats outlast rival Lancers By RICHARD LUKEN richard@iolaregister.com
MORAN — A hotly anticipated early season matchup gave fans of both schools everything they wanted and more Friday evening. When the dust settled, host Marmaton Valley High capped a thrilling comeback, outscoring visiting Crest High 24-8 in the fourth quarter to win 46-42. The victory wasn’t secure until Marmaton Valley’s Daylen Houk plowed in from two yards out with 3:11 left in the game to take a 44-42 lead. Cole Becker’s two-point run pushed the margin to four.
Wildcat defensive Back Carlos Gonzales then stepped in front of a Kyle Hammond pass at the Marmaton Valley 20-yard line with less than two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter to erase Crest’s final scoring chance. Marmaton Valley’s Cole Becker promptly followed the pick with an 18-yard run, enough to allow Marmaton Valley to kneel on the ball and run out the clock. Becker’s run was fitting. The senior tailback steamrolled his way to 324 yards on the ground on 34 carries. As a team, Marmaton ValSee RIVAL | B 2

IHS runners earn medals despite heat and humidity By JOCELYN SHEETS jocelyn@iolaregister.com
FORT SCOTT — With coaches handing out cups of water to pour over their heads, Iola High’s cross country runners and others endured Thursday afternoon’s humid conditions and high temperatures at Fort Scott High’s Invitational. The Mustangs claimed second in varsity and junior varsity races. The Fillies again ran just two in the varsity girls’ race. “We had several who struggled with the conditions. We handed cups of water to pour over their heads during the race,” said Marvin Smith, Iola High’s head coach. “We had several athletes who had significantly better races than the week before and some dropped off from last week. So much of the races depended on the effects of heat and humidity. “We ran rather conservatively due to the heat,” he said about the Mustang varsity. Labette County won the varsity boys’ team title with 23 points. Iola was second with 33 points, followed by Prairie View with 97
points and Frontenac with 104 points. There were 17 schools at the meet. Jeremy Spears ran No. 1 for the Mustang varsity, claiming the third-place medal in 19 minutes, 1 second for the 5K race. Trent Latta picked up a medal finishing fourth in 19:14, followed by Tyler Powelson in sixth at 19:51. “Kohl Endicott was 14th when he came past me with a half mile to go and I implored him to hang on to his spot because he was about spent,” Smith said. “He went around the lake and came out of the trees in 10th place. Kohl had a very good race.” Endicott was the fourth Mustang to earn a medal, taking 10th in 20:04. Blaine Klubec was 19th in 21:20 followed by Michael Wilson in 20th at 21:24 and Gerardo Rojas in 40th at 24:47. Smith said he was happy with Klubek’s race since the coaches had Klubek miss practices for almost two weeks to get over leg problems. Smith said Klubek and Wilson ran together for most of Thursday’s race. See RUNNERS | B3

Iola continued its short kickoff pattern. The Mustangs recovered the football on the ensuing kickoff. The Mustangs marched 48 yards in six plays to paydirt. Quarterback Mason Coons bulled his way over from two yards out. Kaden Macha ran in the two-point conversion and Iola was up 14-0. Osawatomie’s offense finally got on the field but four plays and the Trojans gave it back to Iola. Coons found Adam Kauth for 36 yards to set up a third touchdown.

He hit a short slant pass to Deven Ayres and Ayres did the rest. The scoring play went for 25 yards. Iola fumbled the football back to the Trojans on its next play from scrimmage. Osawatomie went 42 yards on seven plays. The Trojan overcame three penalties in the drive. Chisam connected with Riley England on a 19-yard scoring pass. It came on a fourth-and-goal play from Iola’s 19. Iola’s Devon Burton blocked the extra-point kick leaving it 21-13 with 1:37 left in the first quarter. The Mustangs scored the lone touchdown of the second period. They went 52 yards and Whitworth scored on a three-yard run. Just before halftime,
Chisam got loose and dashed toward the end zone. Iola was able to push him out of bounds two yards shy of the goal line. That ended the half. Kerr was not happy with his defense going into the locker room. He said the Mustangs lost focus and needed to get it back. “We made some mistakes defensively. We asked some guys to play positions they hadn’t played before and we were out of position on the two pass plays,” Kerr said. Osawatomie came out and went to work on the ground using fullback Matt Lofling. But Chisam went to the air and this time Iola was in the right spot. McIntosh intercepted the football and returned it to the Iola 21-yard line. Before play began again, Iola’s Bryce Misenhelter and Osawatomie’s Zack Owens were ejected from the game. The Mustangs quickly turned the turnover into points. Whitworth gashed
the Trojan defense on a 36yard touchdown run. Osawatomie came back again. Lofling led the way up the middle and scored on a six-yard run with 32 seconds left in the third quarter. Iola was driving and in control but lost another fumble. But Lofling fumbled it back and Eric Heffern recovered the ball for the Mustangs with 5:44 left in the contest. Five plays later, Coons capped a final touchdown drive for Iola. Osawatomie would take over four minutes to score its final touchdown. A sixyard run by Chisam, who ended up with 147 yards rushing on 24 carries. Iola is 2-0 overall for the first time in over 20 years. “We have work to do to get ready for Coffeyville. But the kids gave great effort again tonight,” Kerr said. The Mustangs head to Coffeyville next Friday.
HUMBOLDT — Humboldt High continues to be rather rude hosts to visiting teams, particularly on defense. The Cubs limited visiting Jayhawk-Linn High to 114 yards of total offense in a 46-6 thumping. The victory marks the second lop-sided home win in a row for Humboldt on the young season. The Cubs did plenty of damage through the air. Quarterback Nathan Whitcomb rolled up 225 passing yards, including five completions to Trey Johnson for 125 yards. The ground game accounted for the first 19 points of the game for the Cubs, however. Whitcomb ran in a oneyard sneak to open the scoring, followed by a pair of runs by Jacob Carpenter, covering 16 and five yards. Whitcomb found Johnson on a 67-yard pass play for another score before running in another oneyard quarterback sneak to lead 32-0. Jayhawk-Linn scored its only points in the third quarter — and the only points the Cubs have allowed this season — before Tanner McNutt scored twice for Humboldt to cap the scoring. McNutt hauled in a 28-yard Whitcomb pass, then ran in a 48-yard interception return. “I was real proud of the kids’ effort,” Cub head coach K.B. Criss said. “The kids came out and played well in the first half. We weren’t as sharp in the

ley churned out 487 rushing yards. “I thought our offensive line played very well,” Wildcat head coach Kent Houk said. “I can remember one play where Nathan Smart (offensive lineman) was blocking 30 yards downfield on a run. He blocked his tail off tonight.” Crest looked every bit like it was headed for the win column, taking advantage of Marmaton Valley miscues in the first half to take the lead, then extending its advantage on several long pass and run plays in the third quarter. Kyle Hammond, again, was at the center of it all for Crest. Hammond rushed touchdowns covering 29 and 57 yards, completed touchdowns covering 63 and 31 yards to Jordan Morton and running back a Wildcat kickoff 75 yards for another score. Hammond’s 57-yard run with 10:04 left in the game put the Lancers on top 4230. But Marmaton Valley adjusted its formations slightly in the second half, Houk said, which forced Crest to move Hammond from safety to a linebacker position. “Crest played hard,” Coach Houk said. Lancer head coach Brent Smith was disappointed in the outcome, but optimistic about what lies ahead. “We became a better football team tonight,” Smith said. “Tonight, the guys saw what they were capable of. The spectators who watched got to see what probably was one of the better football games in southeast Kansas.” Hammond gave Crest a 6-0 lead midway through the first quarter before Marmaton Valley’s Jimmy

Crest High’s Jordan Morton (12) drops back to throw while under duress from Marmaton Valley High defender Levi Ramsey (70) Friday night. The Wildcats defeated Crest 46-42. Frye scored on a 12-yard run with 4:44 left in the first. Frye’s two-point run gave the Wildcats an 8-6 lead. Marmaton Valley lost two other scoring opportunities on downs in Lancer territory in the first half, and a muffed punt return set up Crest at midfield midway through the second quarter. An offside penalty gave Crest a key first down, then Hammond plowed over on a six-yard run on a fourth-and-three play a short while later. That led to Morton’s 31-yard touchdown pass to Brock Ellis with 4:34 left in the half. Crest led 12-8 at halftime and 34-22 at the end of the third period. “We tried shooting ourselves in the foot so many ways tonight,” Wildcat head coach Kent Houk said. “But the guys fought throught it.” Houk added 85 yards on
15 carries for Marmaton Valley, while Frye rushed 14 times for 77 yards. On defense, Becker and Houk each had nine tackles. Smart registered seven stops. Hammond rushed for 181 yards on 21 carries, while completing five passes for 109. Morton had three receptions for 96 yards. Jesse Boone registered 15 tackles, wihle Clayton Miller had 14 stops (11 solo) for Crest. Ellis added 14 tackles and Hammond had 10 stops. Both coaches stressed the importance of putting this week’s emotional game behind them. “We know we have areas we need to work on,” Kent Houk said as the Wildcats prepare to host Randolph Blue Valley. “Their offense is a lot like Crest’s so we better be ready to play.” “We know our district play doesn’t start for a couple of weeks,” Smith said.

INDEPENDENCE — Not a good day was had by all. Iola High’s Fillies weren’t able to put things together on the tennis courts at Independence Thursday. Iola did not win a match at the meet hosted by Independence High School. “We made a ton of errors — silly mistakes and basic fundamental errors cost us a lot of points,” said Jennifer Bycroft, Fillies’ tennis coach. “The girls were more sluggish than usual. We hope to turn that around next Thursday at Chanute.” Iola’s No. 1 singles player Katana Smith dropped three 8-0 decisions.

The Lady Cubs came across the fin-
ish line in a cluster. Boatwright finished 20th in 23:56 edging out teammate Kolbyn Allen at 23:57.

brina Arell was second in the girls’ two-mile run in 15:47. Yates Center’s Drake Busteed and Brett Holloway were first and second in the boys’ two-mile race.

Watching his header go into the goal is Allen Community College’s Dorian Fox (right) in front of a Northeastern Oklahoma defender in Thursday’s home game for the Red Devils. This goal was waved off by officials just after the game began but Fox would come back later in the first half and score the only goal of the game for a 1-0 win for ACC.
Red Devil men win, women lose in shutouts By JOCELYN SHEETS jocelyn@iolaregister.com
When you beat against the gates long enough, the floodgates will open. That’s what happened Thursday afternoon to Allen Community College’s Red Devil women. After a scoreless first half, visiting Northeastern Oklahoma’s women
kept sending shots on goal against Allen’s goalkeeper Keelie Arbuckle. Arbuckle made save after save after save. NEO is from Miami, Okla. Then with about 25 minutes left in the soccer game, NEO scored a goal then came a penalty kick goal. NEO went on to win 3-0
against the Allen women. Arbuckle was credited with 12 saves in goal. Allen’s offensive attack in the second half didn’t have much power and didn’t put pressure on the NEO goalkeeper. Allen’s men appeared to score within the first two minutes of their game against NEO but the goal
was wiped off the board for a rules violation. The Red Devils kept coming at the NEO goalkeeper and finally scored in the first half. Dorian Fox scored the goal off a pass by Jhovany Baltazer. That lone goal held up for a 1-0 win over NEO. ACC men’s goalkeeper Jordan Drake recorded his
second straight shutout. He had five saves. The Allen men improved to 2-0 on the season. Allen’s women dropped to 0-3. The Red Devil squads play at home today in a doubleheader with Cowley Community College of Arkansas City. The women’s game is a 2 p.m. followed by the men’s contest.
Ponies fall to Bulldogs in opening games By JOCELYN SHEETS jocelyn@iolaregister.com
Iola Middle School’s seventh-and eighth-grade football teams fell to the Bulldogs’ bite on Thursday. In a 12-12 game and Independence Middle School looking at a fourth-down and forever situation, the Ponies couldn’t pen up the Bulldogs. A reverse play to Jaquavon Folks went 68 yards for the go-ahead touchdown. A final drive by the seventh-grade Ponies was halted with an interception. The Bulldogs beat Iola 18-12 scoring the final touchdown with 2:40 left in the game. The Ponies scored first in the contest on a 70-yard kickoff return by Nick Vaughn to start the game. It was 6-6 at halftime. Independence stripped the football from Iola’s quarterback Evan Sigg and returned it 80 yards for a touchdown. Sigg led the Ponies right back hitting Isaac Vink over the middle for a 25-yard touchdown pass at the 4:30 mark of the fourth quarter. “For the first time out, there were a lot more positives than negatives. We’ll learn from this and get better,” said Marty Taylor, IMS head football coach. Sigg rushed for 71 yards on 15 carries and completed
3 of 7 passes for 49 yards. Ethan Holloway caught two for 24 yards and Vink had the touchdown reception. Cale Barnhart had 67 yards on 13 carries. Defensively for the seventh grade, Matt Komma had five tackles and Sigg had four. Holloway recovered a fumble. Barnhart had three tackles. IOLA AND Independence were locked in a 6-6 game heading into the third quarter of the eighth-grade contest. The Bulldogs took over for four minutes to start the third quarter. Independence scored 20 points and went on to win 26-12. Seth Sanford scored on a two-yard run in the second
quarter for Iola. Chase Regehr hauled in a three-yard scoring pass from Ben Cooper late in the third quarter. “All but those four minutes, these kids played pretty good football,” Taylor said. “This group has come a long way from the first game last season. Sanford and Nate Evans each rushed for 48 yards and Mason Snavely had 24 yards rushing. Cooper was 8 of 16 for 71 yards passing. Regehr caught six passes for 50 yards, Garrett Wade had one reception for 14 and Evans caught one for seven yards. Regehr had five tackles and a fumble recovery. Sanford had five tackles and Ethan Scheibmeir had four tackles.

Brownbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advice to obesity conference: Eat less, exercise more By PHIL CAUTHON KHI News Service
TOPEKA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; In his opening remarks Thursday at the Kansas Summit on Obesity, Gov. Sam Brownback focused on what it takes for a person to lose weight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the two Eâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s: eating and exercise. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not really complicated in my estimation,â&#x20AC;? Brownback told about 225 health workers, government officials and members of the Governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Council on Fitness, who gathered for the first time in four years to discuss one of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top health concerns. Then, after six hours of presentations and discussion on the latest approaches to reducing obesity, the governor used his closing remarks to issue a new directive to the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top health officer, Dr. Robert Moser, secretary of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got a couple things out of this today that I want to address already. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to assign Bob Moser to assess all the state facili-
In
ties and our cafeterias for healthier lifestyle options â&#x20AC;&#x201D; food and healthy activity,â&#x20AC;? Brownback said, sparking applause and cheers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the CDCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assessment they said they needed to lead by example,â&#x20AC;? Brownback said referring to a presentation by Dr. William Dietz, former director of nutrition, physical activity and obesity at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, we need to lead by example. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve focused on it. We look at the numbers and we say this is terrible, but then we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lead by example. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time we do.â&#x20AC;? The governor also said by the first of the year his administration would be announcing an incentive-based walking program to encourage teams across the state to form and participate. And Brownback accepted a challenge from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas chief executive Andrew Corbin to walk five miles with him on a state trail of the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice in exchange

for a Blue Cross donation for the trailâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maintenance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the sort of thing I want to see us do,â&#x20AC;? Brownback said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s get out and letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s have some fun, get people active and get their blood going.â&#x20AC;? High costs of obesity
The statistics on obesity were laid out in detail by Dietz: â&#x20AC;˘ 64 percent of Kansas adults are overweight or obese, â&#x20AC;˘ 30 percent of Kansas adults are obese, â&#x20AC;˘ Obesity costs the U.S. nearly $150 billion annually â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or 9 percent of medical costs, â&#x20AC;˘ In Kansas, $1.3 billion per year is spent on obesity-related ailments such as Type II diabetes, heart disease and other complications, and â&#x20AC;˘ Obesity is a factor in nearly 80 percent of preventable deaths, the second leading factor in the state behind tobacco. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Virtually every system in the body is affected by
obesity,â&#x20AC;? Dietz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And these costs donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show the personal costs of obesity â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the discrimination of obesity, the painfulness of obesity, the under-performance at work, the increased absenteeism at work. There are estimates that suggest those costs are at least as much as the direct costs of obesity.â&#x20AC;? Dietz said Americans tend to eat too few foods that help reduce weight and too much of those that are fattening. The average American, he said, eats: â&#x20AC;˘ 280 percent of the recommended daily level of solid fats and sugars, â&#x20AC;˘ 200 percent of the recommended amount of refined grains, and â&#x20AC;˘ 149 percent of the recommended amount of sodium. But when it comes to healthy options, Americans only eat: â&#x20AC;˘ 15 percent of the recommended amount of whole grains, â&#x20AC;˘ 59 percent of the recommended amount of vegeta-

Creating new norms
Mark Thompson, who oversees health initiatives at the Kansas Department of Education, said his agency was working to change those trends in schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really working toward is creating the new norm â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so that when parents go into schools they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprised that they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy a sugar beverage. That when kids go into schools, they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprised that they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy a candy bar. That that is the norm and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think twice about it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the same way we think in terms of tobacco now,â&#x20AC;? Thompson said. Dietz said physical activity tends to be restricted â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not encouraged â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in workplaces and schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken physical education and recess out of schools,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve become increasingly carreliant. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve shifted our work from manual labor to desk-related labor. And the impact of lack of physical activity is substantial. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a major contributor to obesity and the co-morbidities

Using resources prudently
Agencies will need to work more closely together to help deal with the problem, Moser said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been facing limited resources for a while. Going forward more inter-agency collaboration has been Gov. Brownbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s push from the beginning,â&#x20AC;? he said. KDHE could work with the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism to encourage physical activity, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People work, live, play, pray in a number of different environments and all those settings have to be addressed as we go forward,â&#x20AC;?

Election involves wolf, bear ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; You thought Barack and Mitt were fierce presidential candidates? Try Ahpun the polar bear and Denali the wolf. The Alaska Zoo, in what it acknowledges is shameless promotion and fundraising ploy, is conducting an election between Ahpun (ah-POONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;) and Denali. The winner will claim zoo presidency, according to development director Eileen Floyd, who introduced the candidates Wednesday. The election is about who will best represent the Alaska Zoo for the next four years, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I assure you this race is not about the color of their fur, their gender, or even a species issue,â&#x20AC;? Floyd said. The early favorite would appear to be Ahpun, given her iconic status as monarch of the Arctic and the millions in free publicity from Coca-Cola commercials. Ahpun has been at the zoo since she was 3 months old. She was found orphaned near Point Lay on the Chukchi Sea coast about 700 miles northwest of Anchorage. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely to receive the sympathy vote â&#x20AC;&#x201D; polar bears in 2008 were added to the threatened species list because of climate warming and shrinking Arctic Ocean sea ice. Climate models considered by federal agencies indicate the species may disappear from U.S. waters this century. Denali, on the other hand, is fighting stereotypes promoted by the likes of Little Red Riding Hood and The Three Little Pigs. His kind is more abundant in Alaska but apparently not beloved by members of the Alaska Board of Game, which sets hunting seasons in the state. Hundreds of wolves, plus black and grizzly bears, continue to be systematically killed under authorization of the board and policies aimed at increasing moose and caribou populations. But Denali is not without support. He has his own Super Pack â&#x20AC;&#x201D; several siblings brought to the zoo with him when they were orphaned near McGrath in interior Alaska about 275 miles southwest of Fairbanks. Supporters will be able to buy the election. Ballots are $1. Zoo officials are hoping people will stuff ballot boxes attached to the animalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pens or online. Floyd said money from outside interests is welcome. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We invite you to vote as much and as often as you like,â&#x20AC;? Floyd said. The zoo election will follow the same timeline as the national race. Ballots for Ahpun and Denali can be cast until 8 p.m. Nov. 6. Unlike the presidential race, vote totals will be updated daily on the zoo website.

Driving contributed to bad engine Dear Tom and Ray: I have a 2003 Mazda Protege with 103,000 miles. The problem started while my 20-year-old grandson had my car one time. My engine started getting hot, and I think he ignored it, and the next time I drove it, the temperature was all the way in the hot range. I immediately took it to the garage, we let it cool and they said it didn’t have any coolant. So they filled it up, I drove it home and kept an eye on it, and it was OK for a couple of weeks. My grandson took it again, and this time the car stopped completely. It would crank but wouldn’t start. I had it towed back to the garage, and my mechanic says my engine needs to be replaced. My question to you is: I am 64 with not a lot of money, really living paycheck to paycheck with a part-time job. Do you think I should try to get another engine? Or should I try to save up some money and get another used vehicle for about $3,000? Please give me your
Car Talk
Tom and Ray Magliozzi opinion. And do you think my grandson’s driving could have contributed to this problem? — Evelyn RAY: I think there are two guilty parties here, Evelyn. Three, if we include you for being much too nice a grandma. TOM: I’m guessing your grandson drove it like an animal. Now, we don’t know your grandson, and he may be the most responsible person in the world, as well as an honor student and president of the Nerd Club. But if he’s like most other 20-year-old males, he probably was driving the car at 90 mph and had four other kids with him. RAY: That kind of aggressive driving really overtaxed your cooling system. I’m guessing there was already a leak of some kind before he drove it, but your
gentle, and probably shortdistance, driving never stressed the engine enough to make it fail completely. TOM: But when Junior put 500 extra pounds of teenagers in the car and drove it like a NASCAR trainee, he overheated it. And worse, once it overheated, he kept driving it. RAY: And that’s when the real damage took place. TOM: We also have to lay some blame on your mechanic. When you brought it to him the first time and it was out of coolant, he was at fault for not immediately trying to find the source of the leak. It could have been a blown head gasket. But it also could have been something even cheaper and simpler, like a leaky water pump or coolant hose. RAY: No car should ever lose coolant without a reason. A good mechanic will find that reason and fix it before filling it up with coolant and sending you on your merry way. TOM: If they had found the leak then, they could

have fixed it and probably prevented the engine from overheating again and cracking its head or block (which, we assume, is why you now need a new engine). Even if it was a blown head gasket, and it had cost you $1,000 to fix back then, it would seem like a bargain now, right? RAY: And the third guilty party here is you. Junior very nearly fried your engine, and then you gave him the keys again so he could finish the job. But we can’t blame you for having a soft spot for the little leadfoot. TOM: So, now what to do? If the car is otherwise in good shape, your best bet probably is getting a used engine from a junkyard. RAY: Your mechanic can look for one for you and install it. That could eat up most or all of that $3,000 you mention. But if you can still afford it when you’re done, buy Junior a $50 bicycle and tell him that’s his new ride until he turns 30. Good luck, Evelyn.
Stasis dermatitis: Leg swelling, sores and more Dear Dr. Donohue: My legs, above the ankle, started swelling about a year ago. They didn’t hurt, so I didn’t pay much attention to them. They always went down after a night’s sleep. A month or so ago, I noticed the skin in the area of swelling was sprinkled with red and brown specks. It’s a little itchy. My sister who was visiting was quite alarmed about this. She thinks it means I am in big trouble. What does it mean? — P.M. Answer: What you describe is stasis dermatitis and leg edema (swelling). “Stasis” implies that blood isn’t moving in the leg veins like it should. Dermatitis is skin inflammation secondary to the stasis. Your leg veins have become stretched out of shape. Their valves, which keep blood moving upward to the heart, are no longer functioning. These veins, which you cannot see, are distended with blood. They’re leaking fluid from the circulation along with red
RECYCLE FOR THE FUTURE!
ZITS
tor about the swelling. A large number of conditions can bring it on. Some are dangerous, such as heart failure. Some are less significant, but the only way you’ll find out is
Dr. Paul Donohue To Your Good Health blood cells. If you press your thumb against the skin above the ankles, you’ll leave an indentation, proof that fluid has seeped into the tissues. The specks come from disintegrating red blood cells that have leaked out of veins along with the fluid. The brown specks are deposits of iron that was contained in the red blood cells. You can minimize the process by elevating your legs as often as you can. Elevation means the legs should be at or above heart level. The only way to accomplish that is to lie down with the feet and legs propped up. Fifteen minutes every two hours will effect a change. Compression stockings also stop the oozing. You have to see a doc-
through a doctor’s exam. You need to see the doctor about the stasis dermatitis, too. An ulcer can form on the involved skin. It’s very hard to cure once it forms.
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.

KEVIN HARVICK VS. BRAD KESELOWSKI
Thanks in part to some television sleight of hand, Harvick thought Keselowski cost him Atlanta’s Nationwide Series by inducing a caution flag by throwing a water bottle. Actually, the ESPN footage was from an in-car camera view taped before the race’s late caution flag for debris. Harvick confronted Keselowski on pit road after the race. NASCAR This Week’s Monte Dutton gives his take: “Harvick was understandably frustrated after he was unable to win a Nationwide race he dominated. The caution flag in question almost certainly did cost him the race, but the fault apparently wasn’t Keselowski’s.”

Denny Hamlin will occupy no worse than a tie for first when the Chase standings are seeded by victories. Unless either Jimmie Johnson, Brad Keselowski or Tony Stewart wins at Richmond, Hamlin will begin the Chase alone in first place. Jeff Gordon has one more chance to win his way into the Chase. He must either win at Richmond or gain 13 points on Kyle Busch at a track where Busch is typically strong. First place at Atlanta was worth $355,716 to AdvoCare 500 winner Hamlin. Last (43rd) place was worth $82,641 to Joe Nemechek, who completed 22 laps. Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jimmie Johnson lead the Sprint Cup Series with 17 top-10 finishes each. Johnson leads with 12 top fives. Matt Kenseth (1), Johnson (5), and Tony Stewart (3) are the ex-champions likely to make the Chase. Gordon, who is a long shot, has four titles. Though in the top 20 points, Paul Menard, Jamie McMurray and Jeff Burton were officially eliminated from Chase wild-card contention. Seven drivers still have a mathematical shot for the two spots. Martin Truex Jr. and Kevin Harvick will be the only drivers in the Chase without victories unless either wins in the Richmond finale of the regular season. A year ago, the eventual champion, Stewart, went winless during the regular season but won five times in the 10 Chase events.

Playoffs Draw Near Who will join top seed Hamlin in pursuit of the Chase?
By Monte Dutton
NASCAR This Week
HAMPTON, Ga. — The outcome of the first 26 races determines eligibility for NASCAR’ s Chase for the Sprint Cup and, by extension, the field of drivers with a shot at the championship. In the penultimate regular-season race, Denny Hamlin became the only driver to win four races to date, meaning that he will be the top seed or at least tied for first. Hamlin, 31, has won the two most recent races at Bristol Motor Speedway and Atlanta Motor Speedway. Hamlin came close to winning the championship in 2010, when he led Jimmie Johnson entering the final race at Homestead-Miami Speedway. “I did an interview at the beginning of last year, and I said, ‘Just put me back in the same situation, and I promise I’ll win the championship when we leave Homestead.’ All I can hope is that opportunity again, and if I do, I’m going to live in the moment and focus everything I can do to win that race instead of worrying about the outcome,” Hamlin said. “I’m going to have a lot more fun and enjoy it.”
For each of his four victories, Hamlin, from Chesterfield, Va., will receive three bonus points. The 12 Chase drivers will each be awarded 2,000 base points. The two wild-card selections are ineligible for bonus points. Hamlin could win a fifth race in the regular-season finale at Richmond International Raceway, the track closest to his hometown. By the same token, a victory by Jimmie Johnson, Brad Keselowski or Tony Stewart would result in a tie at the top when the Chase commences on Sept. 16 at Chicagoland Speedway. Stewart ranks 10th in the standings, only 18 points ahead of 11th-place Kasey Kahne. Even if Stewart falls to 11th, he would still make the Chase as a wild-card entrant, but in order for Stewart to receive bonus points for his three victories, he would have to remain in the top 10. Preservation of the status quo in Richmond’s Federated Auto Parts 400 would put Kahne and Kyle Busch in the wild-card spots. A Richmond victory could still put either Jeff Gordon, Marcos Ambrose, Ryan Newman or Joey Logano in the field. The long shot is Carl Edwards, who must win at Richmond and make up 27 points on Busch.
Dear NASCAR This Week, As season-ticket holders at Bristol, we were very apprehensive about what we were going to witness this past week. Starting Wednesday, our party was relieved and thrilled with the multi-groove racing by the modifieds and then the trucks. Friday and Saturday night’s races provided plenty of side by side racing too. It’s obvious that grinding down of the high lane removed the advantage of running that low line, thus moving the fast lane more to the middle groove of the corners. Then, during the race, the racing groove became even higher, and three wide in the corner became possible. When I read the reports in the paper about those very same races, I suspect the reporters were watching something from years past on tape. I mean, their stories talk about “plenty of beating and banging etc., etc.,” … Of course, those stories mix in earlier comments of some drivers who first attempted to drive in that fresh ground, slick, high-groove prior to any rubber being laid down … say what? The commentators on the radio kept making reference to the “number of caution flags.” When the caution flag is the result of a flat tire or a blown engine, how can that be factored into all the generated media hype about the great changes at Bristol? The racing I saw did not look anything like the old one groove, right around the bottom, of years past at Bristol. Of course, the clips of Tony (Stewart) flinging his helmet at Kenseth, and Danica (Patrick) pointing her finger at Regan (Smith) will make all the sports pages, but otherwise, I just didn’t see any drastic changes. It all smacks of a concentrated effort to “hype” the entire matter. When you see shirts proclaiming “The Old Bristol Is Back” I rest my case. David Qualkenbush Huntingburg, Ind. It was the most eventful Bristol race in recent memory, so some of the hype sprang from that. The track did change as a result of the recent change, but perhaps not in the anticipated way. Regardless, it was an enjoyable race that seemed to be much appreciated by the folks like you in the grandstands.

HAMPTON, Ga. — Carl Edwards is almost always polite and cooperative, but the adversity of a tough season and the desperate situation he is in regarding the Chase are piling up a bit on him. Asked if the “wide-open” Edwards of the past might be more likely, he said, “I am all the time. I’m sorry you haven’t noticed that lately. “You always set up these questions up so that I have to just agree with some portion of your question, that there are two different ways that I drive, but I’m not going to agree with that.” In Edwards’ defense, he was trying his best to smile and laugh as he spoke. Fun and games — Asked what he had brought to Michael Waltrip Racing in his first year, Clint Bowyer went the intangible route. “I think what I can bring to the table personally is kind of what I brought to the table from the get-go, is just make this fun,” Bowyer said. “It’s such a grinding schedule. It’s a ton of pressure each and every week, and you’ve got to make sure that your guys are having fun doing it.” Sometimes you just tip your cap — After being tracked down and beaten by Ty Dillon in Atlanta’s Camping World Truck Series race, Kyle Busch had no excuses. Asked what happened, Busch said, “Nothing, just got beat. “(Dillon) was just that much stronger. It wasn’t the last five laps. He ran me down … I don’t know. They
