BOE praises science standards TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Science standards that are under development received high marks Wednesday from the Kansas state school board for pushing hands-on instruction over textbook learning, even from members who have worried that the new guidelines will be too friendly toward evolution. State Board of Education members praised the proposed standards for emphasizing that students in all grades should design and pursue experiments. Kansas and 25 other states are working with the National Research Council on common standards for possible adoption in their public schools. A first draft of the proposed standards became public in May, and Kansas officials expect another to be released in November. The board receives monthly updates. Past work on science standards in Kansas has been overshadowed by debates about how evolution should be taught. The state had five sets of standards in eight years starting in 1999, as evolution skeptics gained and lost board majorities in elections. The current, evolution-friendly standards were adopted

“I really like what these new science stan-

dards are doing. I like the discovery-based, project-based learning. — Kathy Martin, Clay Center, Kansas Board of Education member

in 2007, but state law requires them to be updated. Evolution skeptics aren’t expected to regain a majority in November’s elections, even with five of 10 board seats on the ballot, so the next standards adopted in Kansas are likely to reflect mainstream scientific views that evolution is a well-founded core concept. But board member Ken Willard, a Hutchinson Republican who has warned publicly against evolution skeptics being treated as “crackpots,” likes the emphasis on hands-on learning in the draft standards. “I’m very supportive of most everything that I’ve seen,” he said. And board member Kathy Martin, a Clay Center Republican who has supported past guidelines incorporating skepticism of evolution, said she believes science can’t be learned only “out of a book.” “I really like what these

new science standards are doing,” she said. “I like the discovery-based, projectbased learning.” Kansas uses its science guidelines to develop standardized tests for students that measure how well schools are teaching, which in turn influences classroom instruction. Current guidelines for each grade level start with a standard that says students will develop the skills needed to conduct scientific inquiries. Matt Krehbiel, education department official overseeing the state’s work on the standards, said such an approach inadvertently encouraged some teachers to do “maybe one isolated project” involving handson learning. “The intent of the last round was to highlight inquiry by setting it apart as its own standard,” he said. But, he said, in some classrooms, “That meant it got taught as a separate

unit rather than integrated with everything else.” The only notes of caution during Wednesday’s update came from board member Walt Chappell, a Wichita Republican, who questioned whether standardized tests can measure creativity. Chappell also said schools must avoid sacrificing “a foundation of knowledge.” “These kids can’t be thrown out in the lake and say, ‘Swim,’ and then somehow they’re supposed to become scientists,” he said. But Virginia Wolken, a retired high school physics and chemistry teacher from Erie in southeast Kansas, said allowing students to design and pursue their own experiments will cement their knowledge. “When you learned to drive a car, you may have learned the rules first, but then you learned to drive by actually doing it,” Wolken, who serves on a state science standards committee, said after the board’s update. Board members also see such an approach as more fun, too. “I’ll come back and take science again,” said Sue Storm, an Overland Park Democrat.

Ethics panel tackles first Facebook cases “ It’s the first time By JOHN HANNA AP Political Writer

“

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Two Kansas legislative candidates who had been “friended” by lobbyists on Facebook were fined Wednesday for improperly posting announcements about fundraisers, marking the state ethics commission’s first cases involving social media. Kansas law prohibits legislators and statewide elected officials, along with candidates for those offices, from soliciting campaign contributions from lobbyists, businesses and political action committees while the Legislature is in session.

The Governmental Ethics Commission concluded that Rep. Greg Smith of Overland Park and House candidate Becky Nioce of Topeka violated the law and fined them each $100. But the

panel also found that neither Republican intended to break the law. Smith and Nioce posted notices about fundraising events on their Facebook pages in late May, but the Legislature didn’t formally end its session until June 1. Smith is running for an open Senate seat, and Nioce is challenging Democratic state Rep. Annie Kuether. Fines for elected officials and candidates for breaking the anti-solicitation law aren’t unusual, but previous cases have involved fundraising letters being sent to lobbyists who were included on mailing or email lists.

“It’s the first time we’ve had a social media question,” said Carol Williams, the commission’s executive director. “I think with the explosion of social media, this is something we’ll see far more.” Smith argued that he didn’t break the law because his posting, though it described the event as a barbecue and fundraiser, didn’t list a location or specifically ask for money. Smith said he put the notice on his Facebook page in hopes of finding out how much food he’d need to buy and noted that he reported the problem to the commission.

Library program looks at laughter “Laughter Makes Life Better” will be presented by Extension Agent Tara Solomon at 2 p.m. Monday at Iola Public Library. Laughter and humor are great tools to help people deal with threatening or difficult situations. Looking at life’s situations with a sense of humor helps keep things in balance. Everyone laughs, but some laugh more than others, and children laugh more than adults. Adults

laugh approximately 15 times per day, while children laugh about 400 times a day. So, when we grow up, somehow we lose a few hundred laughs a day, Solomon said. Studies are finding that laughter is good medicine. This program will explore different types of humor, the positive effects of laughter, and who knows, it may even tickle your funny bone, she said.

Shirt Shop, Houser said. THE PROJECT reflects on the history of the building itself — once Iola’s New York Store — by spotlighting physicians and dentists who occupied the building years ago. Dr. John Pepper — Yes, Iola had its own Dr. Pepper -— specialized in dental surgery in the building in the 1880s and elsewhere in Iola through the years until at least 1923. Jonathan Earl Chastain, another dentist, was born in Iola in 1874, the son of Dr. William Chastain. After graduating from Iola High School and Western Dental College, he returned to Iola. He practiced in Iola from 1901 to 1949, including the

last 28 years in an upstairs office of the building. Brothers Drs. David and James Reid shared the upstairs space with Chastain for a spell. They arrived in Iola in 1901 as physicians and surgeons for Iola Portland Cement Co., Kansas Portland Cement Co., Prime Western Smelter, Iola Electric Street Railroad and United Iron Works Co. They moved into the New York Store building in 1919, after putting up partitions in the upstairs rooms. David and his wife, Harriet, moved to Iola in 1924. James married Ethel Horton and practiced until his untimely death in 1942. As many may know, James and Ethel Reid had three children, including daughter Elizabeth, who

most know as Sue. Sue Reid became Sue Immel and continues to live in Iola. SEVERAL had a hand in fixing up the windows, Houser said, which was made possible through fundraising by the entire CITF/Pride committee. Tony Piazza made two window seals for ones that were missing. Jim Smith secured the frames and windows and handled their assembly. Houser purchased material and fashioned curtains. Diebolt supplied a lift for the CITF members to work on the windows, while Elizabeth Donnelly at the Shirt Shop created vinyl lettering.

The census figures also show slowing growth in the foreign-born population, which increased to 40.4 million, or 13 percent of the U.S. population. Last year’s immigration increase of 400,000 people was the lowest in a decade, reflecting a minimal gain of Latinos after many Mexicans already in the U.S. opted to return home. Some 11 million people are estimated to be in the U.S. illegally. The bulk of new immigrants are now higherskilled workers from Asian countries such as China and India, contributing to increases in the foreign-born population in California, New York, Illinois and New Jersey. Income inequality varied widely by region. The gap between rich and poor was most evident in the District of Columbia, New York,

Connecticut, Louisiana and New Mexico, where immigrant or minority groups were more numerous. As a whole, Americans were slowly finding ways to get back on the move. About 12 percent of the nation’s population, or 36.5 million, moved to a new home, up from a record low of 11.6 percent in 2011. Among young adults 25 to 29, the most mobile age group, moves also increased to 24.6 percent from a low of 24.1 percent in the previous year. Longer-distance moves, typically for those seeking new careers in other regions of the country, rose modestly from 3.4 percent to 3.8 percent. Less willing to rely on parents, roughly 5.6 million Americans ages 25-34, or 13.6 percent, lived with Mom and Dad, a decrease from 14.2 percent in the previous year. Young men were less likely than before to live with parents, down from 18.6 percent to 16.9 percent; young women living with parents edged higher to 10.4 percent, up from 9.7 percent. “There are signs that young adults have turned a corner,” said Mark Mather, associate vice president at the Population Reference Bureau. “More young adults are staying in school, which will increase their potential earnings when the job market bounces back. It’s going to take some time, but we should see more young adults entering the labor force, buying homes and starting families as economic conditions improve.”

In addition, the signs only note the years the practitioners were in Iola, not necessarily in the building, Houser said. And Houser has been asked why a sign was not prepared for A.R. Chambers, who occupied the building from 1949 to 1960. Because, she said, “He wasn’t here in the early years of Iola.” Addendum: An article in the Sept. 8 Register incorrectly referred to Houser as the historical society’s interim director.

said the attack was not the result of a demonstration over an anti-Islam video that has been cited as the spark for protests in dozens of countries over the past week. “The picture that is emerging is one where a number of different individuals were involved,” Olsen said. His comments came as significant questions persisted about the consulate’s security: The attack took place on the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks on the U.S.; Americans were known to be under threat; and Benghazi had experienced a string of attacks on foreign targets during the summer.

Opinion

A guest editorial

‘Generation Xhausted’ is us In the past 15 years, the percentage of CEOs in their 40s has doubled to 40 percent. A number are in their 30s and, of course, there are the Mark Zuckerbergs, of Facebook fame, who rule even though they are in their 20s. They typify the trend in employment termed high-speed careers. In their world, if you are not on track to be at the top by your early 30s, you might as well hawk pencils on the sidewalk. The ambitious understand this. Even if most won’t reach that top rung, it’s on their horizon. They understand the need for long hours, little time off, and complete fealty to the cause. It’s not gender specific. It applies equally to men and women. It’s also driven by fear; they are often terrified of NOT “making it.” That multi-faceted drive is coupled with the fact that most couples have delayed their child-bearing years to coincide with that mad rush to success. The average age for a first child among college educated women is now 32. Researchers are finding that the stress of both has combined to create a midlife crisis environment for couples in their mid-30s and early 40s — something that used to be more prevalent a decade later in life. It’s the make-or-break point for many careers and researchers have found that it’s at this point where couples have the fewest friends and the least amount of leisure time, hence the most personal stress. Couple this with the fact that many young people in their 20s are often still at home with their parents. They are in such debt from college expenses that they can’t afford to live elsewhere, and job prospects haven’t been particularly tantalizing. Between the two, that’s a lot of angst. To complicate matters, the median income level for most income groups has become a shadow of its former self. Particularly among the young. They are also being forced to compete for jobs with

older workers who have lost a fair percentage of their retirement income, and must contend with government income security programs that will require people to work longer and receive less. If that were not enough, the older generation is living longer, and longer, which puts the young in the position of having to eventually care for them, which is expensive and, well, not very liberating. It’s little wonder this younger generation is being termed Generation Xhausted. These circumstances are not confined to the U.S. They apply abroad as well, particularly to the nations of the European Union. It’s difficult to see what bends this trend line. As technology continues to explode in dramatic ways through our lives, it will be increasingly difficult for the middle class to grab its share of the American dream. The demand for workplace proficiency will escalate in ways we are just beginning to understand. This understanding will change the nature of how we educate the upcoming generations of workers. Or, at least it should. But it’s also difficult to see how future generations can prosper if there is not a similar recognition of the need to accept that less of something isn’t always a bad thing. Ten thousand-square-foot homes don’t have to be the mark of success. Or a wallet full of credit cards. And perhaps we need to redefine what being “at the top” really means. This isn’t an argument for a return to log cabins, eat-only-from-your-garden, or wax candles for light. But it is an argument for reflection, to think about what matters and to consider the demands being made on so many parts of our society. If we fail to recognize these challenges, then Generation Xhausted could be all of us. — Emerson K. Lynn, The St. Albans (Vt.) Messenger

Step aside, 1 percenters Step aside, 1 percent. It’s Mitt Romney’s 47 percent that will dominate the presidential campaign from now on. And what a motley crew it is. The nearly half of the population that is paying no federal income tax today and may receive government benefits has been written off by the GOP candidate, based on a private talk he gave to campaign donors in May. This and other remarks captured on a now-viral video released by Mother Jones illuminate a frightening world view for a presidential nominee and a stark contrast to the philosophies of past Republican presidents. The remarks were all the more chilling because, Romney says, they were unscripted. This apparently is how he thinks. Who are the newly infamous 47 percent? Nearly a quarter are retirees — those aging, mostly white, often Republican moochers now on fixed incomes. Many are veterans — notoriously underpaid in the military and then, when they come home from combat, leeching services from the Department of Veterans Affairs. Then there are the working poor, who pay payroll and other federal taxes but make too little to pay the graduated income tax, a system Republican presidents helped to build. Only about 8 percent pay no federal taxes at all, according to a Washington Post analysis — basically the unemployed, the disabled and the very poor. Many of these folks are part of the Republican base (except, most likely, those shiftless college stu-

dents frittering away time on engineering degrees). But Romney suggests all 47 percent “believe they are victims.” He was insulting his own voters. This just scrapes the surface of Romney’s world view. As if to mock the struggle of Americans born into poverty, he said: “There is a perception, ‘Oh, we were born with a silver spoon, he never had to earn anything and so forth.’ Frankly, I was born with a silver spoon, which is the greatest gift you can have: which is to get born in America.” Romney was born rich. He went to the best schools, traveled, never had to worry about his next meal. And that’s great. Every parent would love to offer those advantages. But it is not the same as a child growing up in East Palo Alto, dodging gunfire and seeing too little of parents working two jobs to get by. Romney also lobbed a grenade into the Middle East tinderbox, declaring Palestinians have “no interest whatsoever in establishing peace.” Along with half of Americans, he writes off the Palestinian people, many of whom work hard for peace, along with many Israelis. He apparently would abdicate the United States’ standing to broker compromise, leaving little hope of avoiding all-out war. There were indications before this that Romney is clueless about average people’s lives and inept at foreign policy. But the clarity of the views in this talk has to give all Americans pause. Or at least 47 percent of them. — San Jose Mercury News

Back off on Mitt — for the media’s sake WASHINGTON — “The media wants to beat up Mitt Romney,” Sean Hannity told his Fox News viewers this week, “which is driving me nuts.” Me too, Sean. Much as I’d like to see Hannity driven nuts, I agree that we in the media have been far too rough on the Republican presidential nominee. In fact, I send this urgent appeal to my fellow members of the lamestream media: Please go easy on the guy — for our own sake. First, Romney was pounded for his false and tone-deaf statements about the attacks on U.S. embassies in Libya and Egypt; in a weak moment, I joined in the criticism. Then Politico came out Sunday night with an article titled “Inside the campaign: How Mitt Romney stumbled,” discourteously detailing all sorts of infighting and missteps. Worst of all was Monday, when my friend David Corn had the temerity to post on Mother Jones a surreptitiously recorded video of Romney dismissing nearly half the country as moochers. At this rate, Romney will surely lose the election — and for journalism, this would be a tragedy. At these times of declining revenue, we in the media need to stay true to our core interests. As the old saying goes, we should “vote the story.” And the better story in this election is clearly a President Romney. Romney’s hit parade — insulting the British, inviting Clint Eastwood to the Republican convention, flubbing Libya and now dismissing half the nation as parasites — may make good copy for the next seven weeks. But if we go easy on the man, we could have four years of gaffes instead of just seven more weeks. Admittedly, this may not be the best outcome for the country, or for the world. But in this race, there is no denying that one man will give us much better material. President Obama has many talents, but he is not good copy. He speaks grammatically, in fully

Dana Milbank Washington Post Writers Group formed paragraphs. He has yet to produce a scandal of any magnitude. He is maddeningly on message, and his few gaffes — “you didn’t build that,” “the private sector is doing fine” — are inflammatory only out of context. Romney, by contrast, showed his potential for miscues in his first presidential run (see: varmints, hunting of), but he truly blossomed in the gaffe department this cycle, when he became a one-man blooper reel: “Corporations are people, my friend.” “I like being able to fire people.” “I’m not concerned about the very poor.” “I’m also unemployed.” “Ann drives a couple of Cadillacs.” “Ten thousand bucks? $10,000 bet?” “I have some great friends that are NASCAR team owners.” “There were a couple of times I wondered whether I was going to get a pink slip.” In addition, Romney frequently gives the media fresh opportunities to rerun the blooper reel with his attempts to explain the original mistakes. This goes back to his explanation for why he strapped his dog Seamus to the top of the family car: The dog “enjoyed himself ” up there. More recently, Romney offered this explanation for his claim that Obama was making America a less Christian nation. “I’m not familiar precisely with exactly what I said, but I stand by what I said, whatever it was,” he said. Saying zany things and then standing by them: From a presidential nominee, this is newsworthy. From a president, it

Romney’s hit parade ... may make good copy for the next seven weeks. But if we go easy on the man, we could have four years of gaffes instead of just seven more weeks. Admittedly, this may not be the best outcome for the country, or for the world. But in this race, there is no denying that one man will give us much better material. could be sensational. Romney caused an international incident when he went to London and spoke of “disconcerting” signs that the Brits weren’t prepared to host the Olympics. Were he to do that as president, he could bring transAtlantic relations back to War of 1812 levels — and that would be a big story. At home, likewise, he has caused consternation with his remark that 47 percent of Americans “believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it” and won’t “take personal responsibility and care for their lives.” If he governed that way as president, he could stir up social unrest not seen in half a century — and that, too, would be quite a story. Usually, reporters have little trouble recognizing our self-interest. For all of Newt Gingrich’s complaints about media bias during his primary candidacy, reporters fantasized about a Gingrich presidency. We should do the same now as we consider prospects for a Romney presidency: gaffes in news conferences, diplomatic slights or ham-handed attempts to placate conservatives in Congress. This is exactly the man our industry needs. I’m from the mainstream media, and I approved this message.

Their passenger was Sheila McCall. ***** Virgil Lair, Piqua, and Ed Noland, Chanute, are in the process of buying the branch of the Girard National Bank in Yates Center. The branch was established when State Exchange Bank was closed by the FDIC Aug. 14. Lair and Noland are associated in

ownership of First State Bank at Lansing, Bank of Commerce in Chanute and First Neodesha Bank. Lair additionally owns Home State Bank, Erie, Stark State Bank, First State Bank, Thayer, and a bank at Chetopa. ***** Attorneys and judges from throughout southeast Kansas gathered here Monday for their annual bar association meeting. The area bar association and judges from the 31st Judicial District met jointly. The judicial district contains Allen, Woodson, Wilson and Neosho counties. Charles Apt, president of the Allen County Bar Association, and attorneys Sheryl Bussell, Tim

For the past several years, the school for preschoolage children from low-income families has rented facilities at St. John’s Center, which is the property of St. John’s Catholic Church. The church wants to use the building for parish activities and has asked Head Start to move by Nov. 1. Pat Pulley, teacher coordinator, said 35 square feet of space is needed for each child and Head Start now has 34 attending, 17 in the morning and 17 in the afternoon.

Mustangs, Buffalos clash in Pioneer League By JOCELYN SHEETS jocelyn@iolaregister.com

Pioneer League-leading Prairie View High’s Buffalos come to town Friday night. Iola High’s Mustangs will be waiting for them on the football field. The two teams have met the past two years in Kansas Class 4A district play. They split those contests. On the line in 2012 is Pioneer League bragging rights for both the Mustangs and Buffalos and a homecoming victory for the Mustangs. Iola is coming off a 40-20 non-league loss at Coffeyville to go 2-1 overall. Prairie View is also 2-1 but is on a two-game win streak in league action rolling over Anderson County and Wellsville the past two weeks. The Mustangs are 1-0 in Pioneer League play. Kickoff is 7 p.m. at Iola’s Riverside Park football stadium. The IHS fall homecoming crowning ceremony is at 6:15 p.m. “Prairie View is a hot team right now and they remind us a lot of Osawatomie. They run the option on offense. They are a team of players who work hard and they have size up front,” said Doug Kerr, Mustang head coach. “The best part of last week’s loss to Coffeyville is our kids are learning to play as a team. It didn’t matter who was on the field late in the game when we scored last week. The guys were pulling for each other.” While the Mustangs were dominating time of possession in the loss to Coffeyville, the Buffalos were running rampant against Wellsville High’s Eagles in a 5016 romp. The Buffalos racked up over 600 yards of total offense in the game. “Our success is tied to the work of our front five. Those guys are controlling the line of scrimmage allowing us to run the option offense,” said Doug Whitcraft, Buffalo head coach. “Defensively, we’ve played good sound defense and not allowed opponents to have the running lanes.” The Buffalos run game starts with junior quarterback Shey Spears, who rushed for 180 yards and passed for over 200 yards a

Iola High head football coach Doug Kerr speaks at Wednesday night’s homecoming pep rally. Kerr guides the Mustangs into a Pioneer League home contest against Prairie View High’s Buffalos Friday. seniors Matt Kellerman (6-6, 270), Preston Roedel (6-0, 155), Landin Dalsing (6-0, 175) and Brandon Johnson (6-1, 265). Luke Miller, a senior, and Levi Clark, a junior, are the starting wide receivers with senior Zach Craig rotating in for the Buffalos. Most of those players are mainstays on the Prairie View defense also. Sophomore linebacker Will Holland joins the group. “Iola has a new coach and we’re excited that this is a league game,” Whitcraft said. “We have to take care of our responsibilities on defense and not get caught up in all of Iola’s misdirection on offense.” The Buffalo defense has held its two Pioneer League opponents to 18 and 16 points the past two weeks. For the Mustangs, Kerr said his players used the Coffeyville game as a learning tool and moved forward this week. He said the Mustangs were able to see their mistakes on film and worked on getting better. “We’ve had a great week of practice despite all the distractions of it being homecoming week,” Kerr said. “It’s about getting better this week than we

were last week.” Kerr said against Prairie View’s option offense, the Mustangs are focusing on limiting the options. “We’ve been working on taking as many of the options away and making them a one-option team. That means we each have to do our job on the field and make plays,” Kerr said. Iola has made changes to its defense. Senior Stephen McDonald has been moved from middle linebacker to a noseguard spot on the defensive line. “It’s not your traditional noseguard type of player as Stephen will be standing up on the line. We’re going for a more wreak havoic situation,” Kerr said. “We’ve moved Adam Kauth to an outside linebacker spot and Jacob Harrison is going to start as a cornerback.” The past two weeks, junior Jesse Zimmerman has gotten the nod as starting tight end on offense. Kerr said Zimmerman will start with Bryce Misenhelter rotating in to that spot throughout the game. Kerr also said McDonald had been working at fullback to rotate in for Heffern.

IHS Spirit

“Offensively, we again want to control the pace of the game. We looked really good moving the ball up and down the field last week. We didn’t score early to keep the game closer. We know we can move the football. Now we have to finish drives and score.” Sophomore lineman Trey Colborn is a game-time decision on how much he will be able to play. Colborn missed last week’s varsity game because of an ankle injury suffered in the junior varsity contest. Kerr said Colborn is 50-50 right now. Senior Levi Ashmore, who came out for the team late, will suit up and see his first action of the season. Kerr said Ashmore will see time as a wing back on offense. He said Ashmore gives the Mustangs more options in the return game. “After two games on the road, it’s going to be great to play at home again. The kids are excited and ready to play in front of their hometown fans,” Kerr said. He told the crowd at Wednesday’s pep rally and bonfire that the team has dedicated Friday’s game to the IHS 1925 football team, which went undefeated.

Bring on the Blue and Gold Fall Homecoming 2012 is Friday for Iola High School. Students have been celebrating all week with weird and wacky days at school. Wednesday night the Mustang football team hosted a pep rally and bonfire. Spirit is high. So when Prairie View High’s Buffalos and their fans come into Riverside Park and over that little hill, they should see nothing by Blue and Gold. Blue and Gold are the standards for Iola High. And as the Mickey Mouse Club March says “Forever let us hold our banner High!, High!, High! High!” At IHS and the rest of the district’s schools, Friday is Blue and Gold day. All IHS fans should break out their Blue and Gold and come out to the football game on Friday night. You might keep the rain gear out too. Yes, for the fourth straight week, there’s a call for rain Friday. Let’s hope it ends up like two weeks ago in Osawatomie — the rain came early then cleared out by game time. Come early to the football stadium Friday. The IHS fall homecoming king and queen will be crowned prior to the game. The ceremony begins at 6:15 p.m. Iola High Booster Club will have its cook wagon fired up to have food available at the game. The booster club will also have a booth with all types of Mustang and Fillies spirit items for sale. “WE’RE GOING have a great show for you Friday night. Come out and bring your friends to help us get the homecom-

The Pressbox Jocelyn Sheets ing victory,” said Mustang head football coach Doug Kerr at Wednesday night’s pep rally and bonfire. “We’ve entered a new part of our schedule. We call it the homecoming part since our homecoming is Friday then we go on the road for two weeks at Central Heights and Wellsville — both are homecoming games. We want three homecoming victories.” That brought a roar from the fans gathered to cheer on IHS. The Mustangs take on the Prairie View Buffaloes in a Pioneer League contest Friday. The Buffaloes have won two games in a row — blowouts of Anderson County and Wellsville — both were league victories. “Coffeyville wasn’t a league or district game. We went in with confidence and to see where we are as a team against a ranked opponent,” Kerr said of last week’s 40-20 loss at Coffeyville. “Now, we step back into the meat of our schedule turning our attention to league and district games. First is Prairie View then we move to the next one.” Move forward Mustangs in Blue and Gold.

Red Devils disappoint coaches in a district loss to Hesston By JOCELYN SHEETS jocelyn@iolaregister.com

HESSTON — To say disappointment reigned among Allen Community College volleyball coaches is an understatement. Head coach Jessica Peters pointed to inconsistent playing by the Red Devils as a downfall. The Red Devils lost a NJCAA Division II district match on the road to Hesston College. Hesston won the five-set

match 25-12, 15-25, 19-25, 2515, 15-12. “We had a flat start but we came back and won the second set to even things up,” Peters said. “We came from behind to win the third set then lost the next two because of inconsistent play.” Assistant coach Todd Francis said, “when we were in the lead, we were in control but when we were behind, it was too big of a

Royals shut out the White Sox KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Bruce Chen had already pitched out of trouble each of the first three innings when the Royals left-hander issued a pair of walks and served up a base hit to Alex Rios in the fourth. The bases were loaded, there was nobody out and the White Sox — one of the hottest teams in baseball and winners of five straight — were poised to deliver the crushing blow. It never happened.

Never even came close. Chen managed to retire three straight batters without a ball getting out of the infield, and then carried on into the seventh inning. Billy Butler’s sacrifice fly and a two-run double by Alex Gordon was enough to give the Royals a 3-0 victory over the AL Central leaders Wednesday night. “Bruce Chen was right on top of his game,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “I told him after he was done,

‘You did a great job of pitching yourself into trouble in the fourth inning and even a better job of pitching yourself out of it.’ Bruce did a phenomenal job.” Chen (11-12) scattered five hits and three walks over 6 2/3 innings to win for just the second time in six starts. The crafty veteran also stranded a runner on second in the sixth before getting some help from reliever Kelvin Herrera to escape more trouble in the seventh.

hill to climb.” “We decided to play timid which resulted in errors and ultimately a lost match,” said Whitney Falkenstien, assistant coach. There were no individual statistics reported from the match. “These were hard games to sit and watch. We know the quality of players we have and what they can bring to your program,” Peters said. “We can only continue to coach and teach them. We want success for them but they have to find it themselves on the court.” ALLEN HOSTS the Allen Invite this weekend in Iola. The two-day tournament is being held at Iola’s Recreation Community Building in Riverside Park. Matches start at 2 p.m. on Friday on two courts. Action resumes at 9 a.m. on Saturday.

Blood pressure drop upsets balance Dear Dr. Donohue: I would like to know more about orthostatic hypotension. I am a 67-year-old man and have problems with my balance, especially on standing. My cardiologist tested my blood pressure while sitting and then while standing. As a result, he took me off two medicines. There have been no substantial changes in my balance since the change in medicines. The systolic pressure drops as many as 20 points when I stand, and the diastolic goes up a bit. — T.W. Answer: Orthostatic hypotension is a drop in blood pressure when one stands

Dr. Paul Donohue To Your Good Health

up from the sitting or lying position. It’s a common malady of older people. At younger ages, when we change positions, reflexes kick in to maintain blood pressure. When those reflexes no longer work, a change of position causes pooling of blood in the legs. Blood pressure drops. The brain doesn’t get its supply of blood. The person feels un-

balanced and on the verge of passing out. A 20-point drop in systolic blood pressure — the first number of a blood pressure reading — meets the criterion for orthostatic hypotension. If the second number, the diastolic pressure, drops 10 points, that, too, indicates orthostatic hypotension. Both numbers do not have to fall; one or the other is enough. Go over your medicines with the doctor again to see if any of them is contributing to this. If your balance is poor on rising out of bed, sleep with 4-inch blocks under the posts at the head of the bed. That position will help you

maintain your blood pressure. If the blood pressure drop occurs after rising from a chair, drinking two 8-ounce glasses of cool water somewhat quickly prevents the drop. The effect lasts for two hours. You can go shopping during that time period without fear of losing balance. Contracting the leg muscles before, during and after you rise from a chair also keeps blood pressure up. Compression stockings work, too. Should none of the above work, speak to your doctor about medicines. Pyridostigmine often is prescribed for this condition.

She’s not usually the marrying kind, but... Hi, Carolyn: I am a woman in my early 20s, and I decided a while ago that I do not ever want to get married. There is a long list of reasons: I don’t want children, I don’t know how you can

Tell Me About It Carolyn Hax

predict at 30 that you’d want to be with the same person when you’re 80, and I don’t want all of the marital problems people write in to you about. Whenever marriage comes up, and relatives or peers ask me why I don’t want to get married, I feel like I’m in a rut. If I list my reasons, especially to someone married, it can feel preachy or insulting. If I say something like, “It’s just not for me,” I am either met with sympathy (“Oh, there’s someone out there for everyone!”) or questioning (“Are you a lesbian?”), or they try to convince me marriage is the answer. Any advice on what I can say in these situations? — No White Dress for Me, Thanks Answer: You’re under no obligation to satisfy people’s curiosity about your beliefs. That gives you such wide latitude when answering questions that you can offer anything from, “I’d rather not get into it,” to an exegesis

on non-marriage that will persuade your loved ones with eye-glazing finality never to broach this topic in your presence again. Since you seem disinclined to shut people down and eager to be understood, maybe it’s time to consider a phrasing of the truth that’s less of a red cape to the pro-marriage bull: “I’ll consider getting married only when I find someone I want to marry.” It not only sticks to (and gently reframes) the marriage-isn’t-for-

me truth, but it also will remain true no matter where your life takes you — something you can’t say for “I do not ever want to get married,” no matter how certain you are. Yet it still makes clear that you don’t see marriage unto itself as a goal. And even though some will find room for debate, or offense, in the most airtight remarks, I’ ll-cross-that-bridgewhen-I-get-there is about as judgment- and debateproof as a position on marriage can get.

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.

Prison, hefty fine sought in price fixing scam SAN FRANCISCO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The U.S. Department of Justice is demanding that a â&#x20AC;&#x153;remorselessâ&#x20AC;? Taiwanese company pay a $1 billion fine and two former top executives each serve 10 years in prison for their roles as central figures in what prosecutors called the most serious price-fixing cartel ever prosecuted by the U.S. The proposed sentences would be the stiffest penalty ever meted out for price-fixing convictions if a federal judge adopts the DOJâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position at sentencing today. The DOJ argues the sentences are neces-

sary to punish a company that unfairly forced U.S. consumers to pay billions more than they should have for electronics and to deter others from engaging in price fixing. The DOJ lawyers made the demands, which include $1 million fines for each of the executives, in court filings Tuesday. They are wrapping up a yearslong investigation of a global price-fixing scheme that artificially increased the price of LCD screens used in televisions, computers and other electronic products made by Apple Inc.,

Dell Computers and many of the largest high-tech companies in the United States. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The conspiracy affected every family, school, business, charity, and government agency that paid more to purchase notebook computers, computer monitors, and LCD televisions during the conspiracy,â&#x20AC;? prosecutors concluded in arguing for the criminal penalties. AU Optronics and the other co-conspirators are also the targets of class action lawsuits filed by customers, retailers and consumers.

In July, the company, along with Toshiba and LG, agreed to pay a combined $571 million to settle one of the lawsuits. Other manufactures, including Hitachi, Sharp and Samsung, agreed in December to pay $538 million to settle.
