If you’ve got enough of it, Fri-day night is the night to let your hair down.

One sure test is to participate in the “Drag Race” as a runup to the Charlie Melvin Mad Bomber Run For Your Life race.

Men and women alike are en-couraged to dress in a cross-gen-der manner and then “compete” in teams of four in a relay. Last

year a woman’s garter was trans-ferred from one participant’s leg to another.

“It’s better than a baton,” said David Toland, executive director of Thrive Allen County and one of the organizers for Friday’s events.

If you don’t have a thing to wear — no worries.

Dresses, hats, purses, jewelry and other accoutrements will be available at Elizabeth Donnelly’s

The Shirt Shop, 20 W. Jackson, where participants will have a wide selection from which to choose. Doors open at 10 p.m.

Registration to participate in the drag race is $5. That also gains participants entrance to a 9:30 p.m. pre-party at the Thrive office, 12 W. Jackson. Tickets can be purchased in advance at the Thrive office or Friday night on

LE ROY — Unlike the mecha-nized behemoths of today, Ray Whiteley’s mowing outfit was considerably quieter.

His “engine” — a pair of 1,200-pound mules — needed only an occasional break from the sti-fling summer heat as Whiteley traversed his way around an 18-acre prairie hay meadow.

“It’s a little warm, so we’ve been taking it easy,” Whiteley said. “It’s our little hobby.”

The mules were pulling White-ley’s antique sickle bar mower, a small wagon with cutting bar

attached. The bar was triggered through a gear box engaged as its wheels roll.

With no mechanical engine to speak of, the only noise emanat-ing from his unit was from the teeth of the seven-foot cutting bar rotating back and forth.

Joining Whiteley was neighbor and friend Greg Gleue, with his own mowing outfit, another sick-le bar mower pulled by a pair of Percheron draft horses.

“We’re having some fun with it,” Whiteley joked. “Greg’s kind of a wimp about it. He needs a

Calls to the 911 dispatch center average one almost every 10 min-utes.

And while that may sound a lit-tle slow, played out over 24 hours a day and every day of the year, the total comes to 55,000.

“That’s what we received last year,” Angie Murphy, dispatch center director, told Allen County commissioners Tuesday morn-ing.

The call total — she figures half or more are for true emer-gencies — wasn’t the point of her appearance, but the magnitude of the number captivated commis-sioners.

Murphy was before commis-sioners to request a 20 percent increase in the department’s bud-get for 2012, up $126,000 over this year’s $490,000.

The increase seemed pretty hefty. Murphy reasoned health insurance will cost an additional $50,000 and another $6,000 was expected for Kansas Public Em-

An anticipated field of a thou-sand runners and walkers, who will flee Iola’s downtown busi-ness district early Saturday as Charley Melvin did in 1905, can be thankful that Melvin chose to do his dastardly deed in the mid-dle of the night.

Had the event being commemo-rated occurred in mid-day, par-ticipants would battle oppressive heat and humidity, with both forecast at the upper end of the discomfort scale during daytime Friday and Saturday. As is, they will run and walk in somewhat more inviting temperatures pre-dicted for the low 70s by 12:26 a.m. Saturday.

The race — many walkers will be out for a stroll — will cap activ-ities that start late Friday after-noon and will go on throughout the evening. Included will be the much-awaited “drag race,” fea-turing some of the area’s finest men and women dressed in drag.

Chris Weiner at Thrive Allen County, co-sponsor with Allen County Crimestoppers for “The Charley Melvin Mad Bomber Run for your Life,” said total of partic-ipants was approaching 450, with about 200 signed on for the 5-kilo-meter run. The walk will follow a 3-kilometer course.

“Registration, including prob-ably a fifth online, has really

picked up,” Weiner said Tuesday afternoon. As in the past, “we ex-pect a lot of people to sign up Fri-day night.”

Cost is $12 for the walk. Run-ners’ fees are $14 for youth to age 17, $20 for adults and $17 each for members of teams.

Runners in the third annual event will aim for best times of 15.40.06 for males and 20.44.78 for females, set last year.

Sticks of “Melvin Dy-No-Mite” will be awarded the first three places for males and females in each of five ages groups, 15 and under, 16-30, 31-45, 46-60 and 61 and over.

All participants will break from in front of the post office. Runners will follow a course that will take them on West to Wash-ington, then Jackson, Jefferson and East to Cottonwood. They

ATLANTA (AP) — Former Atlanta schools Superintendent Beverly Hall knew about cheat-ing allegations on standardized tests but either ignored them or tried to hide them, according to a state investigation.

An 800-page report released Tuesday to The Associated Press by Gov. Nathan Deal’s office through an open records request shows several educators report-ed cheating in their schools. But the report says Hall, who won the national Superintendent of the Year award in 2009, and other administrators ignored those re-ports and sometimes retaliated against the whistleblowers.

The yearlong investigation shows educators at nearly four dozen Atlanta elementary and middle schools cheated on stan-dardized tests by helping stu-dents or changing the answers once exams were handed in.

The investigators also found a “culture of fear, intimidation and retaliation” in the school district over the cheating allegations, which led to educators lying about the cheating or destroying

SAFETY FIRST WHEN HANDLING FIREARMS

By ALLISON [email protected]

Possessions are not worth putting your life in danger, was a lesson learned in Saturday’s concealed handgun carry class.

Sheriff Bryan Murphy and master deputy Tim Beckham of the Allen County Sheriff ’s Department led about 20 par-ticipants in the class that taught handgun safety.

Kansas allows open carry, meaning firearms may be openly carried in cars without any license, except where lo-cal counties have made open carry illegal, such as Wichita’s Sedgwick County. The 2006 Kansas Personal and Family Protection Act, which allows a citizen the right to obtain a con-cealed handgun permit, makes the holder exempt from all lo-cal open carry bans within the state. Usually a license will ar-rive in the mail within 90 days, but Beckham said recently it has been taking about 120 days because of the high influx of citizens taking the class.

Allen Countians came out for their licenses for many dif-ferent reasons, but the common denominator was for safety, whether personal or for their families.

The key to owning and carry-ing a gun, Beckham and Mur-phy agreed, is to feel comfort-able with its operation through practice. A gun owner should

always be an expert with their guns.

“If you never prepare, you will never react. The way you prepare will be the way you re-spond,” Murphy said.

Knowledge is essential to a minimal or full elimination of accidents.

“This is not the Wild West anymore,” Beckham said. “You

can’t just go around shooting people up. It is a different day and time.”

Beckham and Murphy sug-gest practicing at a gun range or at home to get comfortable with holding and handling the gun. The gun range allows for gun owners to shoot their gun. Mur-phy says never carry a gun you have never shot.

There are safety regulations that must be followed when handling a firearm. The first rule is to “always assume (the guns) are loaded,” Murphy said. “There won’t be any surprises if you do.”

A lot of the rules of firearms fall under common sense. For example, making sure not to point the barrel at a person or animal that you don’t intend to destroy and to make sure you are aware of where your target is and the surrounding areas.

Know what kind of firearm you have and the type of bullet the gun takes and what you are willing to shoot.

Murphy said if the sole mis-sion of carrying a handgun is for home protection then hollow point bullets are the best, “not ball ammo, it will go through walls.”

Another important factor to firearm ownership is its stor-age. Guns should be out of chil-dren’s reach.

There are many options for storage. The best option, Mur-phy said, is a safe with a secure lock, but it is also impractical if there is a late-night intruder.

“Combination locks, in the heat of the passion, are not so good,” Murphy said.

The best option would be a safe with a fingerprint lock. There are safes that can record up to 200 fingerprints, Beckham said.

City prioritizes 2013 goalsBy STEVEN [email protected]

An economic incentive pack-age for local businesses was the top priority in discussions sur-rounding city projects during Saturday’s strategic planning meeting.

While no decisions were made during the meeting, members of the Iola city council, and poten-tial council candidates, had the opportunity to prioritize proj-ects needed to be done.

The group listed the city’s proj-ects, and then had the opportu-nity to vote on the most pressing issues. The need for economic development incentives for local businesses won overwhelmingly.

City council member Steve French said any economic de-velopment would help other city projects, by boosting local busi-nesses and increasing cash flow.

“I support economic develop-ment incentives, it’ll provide money to fund other projects,” French said.

No specific plans were men-tioned in regard to an incentive package, other than the need to give new and emerging business-es any sort of aid to flourish in the community.

The need for housing in Iola

was another source of discus-sion among the attendees.

“The key issue above all is housing. Forty-five percent of our workers commute,” City Council Member David Toland said.

Workers at Gates and Russell Stover’s commute from among 14 counties to get to their jobs. The city needs to do in-depth re-search on why they choose to live outside city limits, Toland said.

City council member Scott Stewart said focus needs to in-clude middle income housing needs. He said oftentimes the only attention is given to low-in-come families, but any workers that are coming to the city are going to be a part of the middle class.

“If we’re going to get people to move here, they’re pretty much

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Conser-vative Republican legislators are pushing aggressively for an over-haul of how Kansas fills vacan-cies on its two highest courts, but they face significant obstacles in getting a proposed amendment to the state constitution on the bal-lot.

Some GOP lawmakers have argued for almost a decade that the current system of having an attorney-led nominating com-mission screen applications for the state Court of Appeals and Supreme Court is biased against conservatives. They’ve been frus-trated with court decisions order-ing the state to increase spending on public schools, and abortion opponents view the courts as too liberal on that issue. Conserva-tive Republican Gov. Sam Brown-back also is pushing for change.

For now, the favored proposal for conservative Republicans is having the governor appoint whomever he or she pleases, sub-ject to Senate confirmation. Both the House and Senate Judiciary committees have endorsed the change in separate measures that would end the practice of having the nominating commission pick three finalists and requiring the governor to pick one, with no role

for legislators.Republicans have supermajori-

ties in both chambers, and con-servatives are in charge. In the 40-member Senate, conservatives hold 27 seats, the exact number needed for a two-thirds major-ity to approve a constitutional amendment, and they could at-tract another vote or two.

In the 125-member House, the picture is cloudier. The GOP’s overall advantage is 92-33, but moderates have at least a dozen seats, probably more. A two-thirds majority is 84.

“That’s a big number and this is a serious, serious thing to do right out of the box,” said Rep. Jim Ward, a Wichita attorney and Democrat who opposes GOP con-servatives’ proposal.

PORTO ALEGRE, Brazil — At least 233 people died early Sunday in a fire at a nightclub in southern Brazil, according to the authorities of the state of Rio Grande do Sul.

Fire officials said late Sunday that they were finished taking bod-ies from the Kiss club in the town of Santa Maria. They were still working to establish the cause of the fire.

A total of 106 people remained hospitalized, including 16 with se-vere burns, according to the state’s health authorities. Most of those killed died of asphyxiation.

Brazilian President Dilma Rous-seff cut short her participation in the Eurpoean Union-Latin Ameri-can summit in Santiago, Chile, to travel to the state of Rio Grande do

Sul, where Santa Maria is located and which is also Rousseff ’s home state.

“I wanted to tell the people of our country and of Santa Maria that we are all together at this mo-ment of sadness,” she said. “And we will overcome this, though the sadness will remain.”

The fire started around 2:30 a.m.

local time. Sparks hit the sound-proof foam on the ceiling and caught fire, according to broadcast-er Globo. Many people were unable to reach the emergency exits in the ensuing panic.

“I’ve been with the fire depart-ment for 40 years, but I have never seen a tragedy of this magnitude,” said fireman Moises da Silva Fuchs.

The nightclub had a capacity of 2,000 people. It was not known how many were there at the time of the fire.

The club’s operating permit, which includes a revision of fire evacuation procedures, expired in August.

Santa Maria is a town of 270,000, about 185 miles from Porto Alegre.

CalendarKeeping a gun on top of nightstand is not a safe way to store a firearm.

“Putting your gun in a drawer is the beginning steps to responsible care,” Beckham said.

In addition to keeping guns away from children in the home, Kansas law does not permit concealed hand-guns to be within school zones or bars.

“I don’t think I can em-phasize it enough, if it has to do with schools don’t do it, just like with bars, don’t bring your gun into bars. Lock your guns up in a se-cure place,” Beckham said.

MURPHY suggests studying and knowing your home in case of an intrud-er.

It is always a good idea to know how many steps there are in the staircase and how wide they are.

Knowing your home bet-ter than an intruder does will give the homeowner an upper hand.

According to Murphy, it is becoming more common to see intruders and attack-ers with body armor. Don’t assume because the intrud-er was shot in the chest that they will go down. Never turn your back to the at-tacker or intruder.

Know what you are will-ing to shoot over.

If someone is stealing something or is carjacking, let them have it. A life is more important than a pos-session, Murphy said.

Kansas law does not re-quire retreat. Force can be met with force, but Mur-phy and Beckham suggest avoiding a conflicting situa-tion and only using firearm force as a last resort.

“Try to get away safely and try to avoid (using your handgun),” Beckham said.

“Distance is your friend,” Murphy said.

The housing situation vote came in second in the priority list, and tied with the need for updated schools. Mayor Bill Shir-ley was the first to mention schools, saying they are in dire need of upgrades.

Other items discussed during the meeting were the

mittee Chairman Lance Kinzer, a conservative Olathe Republican, said supporters of changing the judicial selection system need time to survey them.

“I think there’s a lot of education to do,” he said.

Advocates of change not only need the approval of two-thirds majorities in both chambers but also a simple majority of voters in a statewide election. The current system of picking Supreme Court justices it-self results from a constitu-tional amendment ratified by Kansans in 1958 with 60 percent of the vote. The state adopted the system by law for the Court of Ap-peals in setting it up in the 1970s.

Supporters of the exist-ing system call it merit se-lection, reflecting a belief that it largely removes poli-tics from picking judges and justices and focuses on candidates’ qualifica-tions. That view appears to have prevailed for decades, though there have been complaints that the system favored urban candidates over rural ones, slighted western Kansas or failed to produce enough minority finalists.

Critics argue that the

system is biased toward centrist or left-of-center, establishment lawyers and judges, particularly if they have strong ties to the Kan-sas Bar Association. Crit-ics also see the system as undemocratic because five of the nominating commis-sion’s nine members are

attorneys elected by other attorneys, with the other four, all non-lawyers, ap-pointed by the governor.

The Kansas Bar Asso-ciation offered a proposal to expand the nominating commission to 15 members, with 11 of them appointed by the governor and leg-islative leaders, but GOP conservatives aren’t much interested. Also, University of Kansas law professor Stephen Ware, perhaps the state’s leading academic critic of the current sys-tem, told lawmakers last week that reducing attor-neys’ influence on the com-

mission helps but doesn’t cure the “lack of democrat-ic legitimacy.”

“The important question for democratic legitimacy is not whether the bar se-lects a majority of the com-mission,” Ware said. “It’s whether the bar selects ANY members of the com-

mission.”The GOP right is hunting

bigger game, too. It wants to ensure that conservative governors can appoint con-servative judges and that conservative legislators have a chance to block nom-inees they see as too liberal.

Moderates and liber-als perceive an attempt by Brownback’s allies to elimi-nate a potential check on their power. Conservatives argue that they’re trying to ensure that the courts are accountable to the same citizenry that has pushed state government to the right.

Whatever the assess-ment, conservatives are confident of getting a two-thirds majority in the Sen-ate. The partisan balance is 32-8 in favor of the GOP, and only five Republicans are considered moderates.

“The selection process for judges in Kansas is bro-ken,” said Senate President Susan Wagle, a conserva-tive Wichita Republican. “We’ve studied this for years, and I believe we have the votes to put this on the ballot.”

Critics argue that the proposed constitutional change at least ought to go on the ballot in the Novem-ber general election, when turnout will be at its high-est. Sen. David Haley, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Commit-tee, complains that GOP leaders are “trying to fast-track it.”

“Before the light bulbs of independence go on over the heads of many legisla-tors, I think there’s a rush,” Haley said.

Quick approval by the Senate could create an im-pression that momentum for change is building. But the House would remain a big hurdle to overhauling the judicial selection pro-cess.

rifle racks in patrol vehi-cles.

Brown recently told the school board that he wants his officers to have semi-au-tomatic rifles, too.

“Looking at the weap-onry that the bad guys are using, it just appeared to us that additional fire power would be helpful,” he said in a telephone interview on Friday.

He made a presentation to the school board and fol-lowed up with a written pro-posal on Jan. 18 to the dis-trict’s superintendent. He has requested Colt AR-15s, stun guns and more secu-rity cameras.

“A number of our police officers patrol day shift and second shift, and their weapons would be located in their vehicles,” Brown said of the semi-automatic rifles. “And they would have those available if they re-sponded.”

Security has received increased attention after the mass shootings in July at a theater in the Denver suburb of Aurora and in

December at Sandy Hook Elementary, where a gun-man killed 20 children, six educators and himself. Be-fore going to the school, the Connecticut gunman killed his mother.

“My primary concern is that when you look at situa-tions like Aurora and Sandy Hook, if your officers are simply carrying a semi-au-tomatic handgun, they are really outgunned when they are trying to deal with an in-dividual with some type of assault rifle,” Brown said. “And so our goal was to at least equalize our ability to confront that individual.”

District spokesman Ron-ald Harbaugh said in an email that he anticipated the board would discuss the proposal “in the near future.”

It’s unclear whether other Kansas districts are consid-ering similar steps. Kathy Toelkes, a spokeswoman for the Kansas Department of Education, said state edu-cation officials don’t moni-tor whether districts allow police or hired security to carry high-powered weap-ons on school campuses.

CAIRO (AP) — Egypt’s main opposition coalition today rejected the Islamist president’s call for dia-logue unless their condi-tions are met, a move that is likely to prolong the country’s latest political crisis as violence that has left more than 50 people dead continued for a fifth day.

In the latest clashes, riot police fired tear gas at rock-throwing protesters in central Cairo today, and one protester died of gun-shot wounds, health and security officials said.

The violence came a day after President Moham-med Morsi vowed a tough response to the eruption of political violence, call-ing a state of emergency

and curfew in the hardest hit areas — three cities along the Suez Canal and their surrounding prov-inces. The military has deployed in two of those cities, Port Said and Suez.

The opposition has painted the explosion of rioting as a backlash against attempts by Morsi and the Muslim Brother-hood to monopolize power in Egypt — and proof that Morsi has been incapable of achieving stability or achieving reforms.

Leaders of the main op-position coalition, the Na-tional Salvation Front, dis-missed Morsi’s invitation to a dialogue on resolving the crisis. At a press con-ference, the front’s head Mohamed ElBaradei said the call was “without form and content.”

The critics who said a state-wide smoking ban in public restaurants and bars would negatively affect business were blowing smoke.

A recent study by the Kan-sas Health Institute investi-gated the sales of restaurants and bars over the past 10 years. The smoking ban, officially the Kansas Indoor Clean Air Act, was implemented in 2010.

The study showed no hitch, no glitch, in a steady trend of increased sales in those kinds of establishments over the 10 years. From 2003 to 2011, restaurant and bar sales have increased from 7.8 percent of total taxable sales to 9.8 per-cent.

The number of liquor li-censes issued also continued to increase after the smoking ban was enacted.

The evidence proves two things: Most people don’t care to be around cigarette smoke; a smoke-free environment draws bigger crowds.

The good news affects more than the pocketbook. Expo-sure to second-hand smoke is harmful to one’s health. It’s

been proven that those around cigarette smoke can suffer the same symptoms as those who smoke, including risk of lung cancer, increased risk of heart attacks, emphysema and asth-ma attacks.

KANSAS JOINED the ma-jority of states when it enact-ed the smoking ban. A recent

study in Missouri showed the smok-ing ban contribut-ed to significantly increased sales in restaurants and bars of eight of 11 cities surveyed.

The only thing that keeps this from being a

home run for Kansas is its exemption for casinos. If the state’s goal by the act was to protect the health of its citi-zens, then the gaming floors of casinos should be made smoke-free. Gamblers are people, too.

By the same token if the goal is to increase sales, then it need look no further than this study to see that a majority of people enjoy eating and drinking and yes, watching the lemons come round, in clean air as opposed to clouds of smoke.

That’s a win-win for all.— Susan Lynn

State’s smoking bana boon to sales inrestaurants, bars

Most people don’t care to be around cigarette smoke; a smoke-free environ-ment draws bigger crowds.

My new mother-in-law knew me pretty well, as well she might, I had been dating her daughter for 4 years before our September 7, 1947 marriage. So sometime around that fateful day of long ago, she presented us with a car-toon. A young couple were sitting on a blanket under a tree, picnic basket and portable radio at their side.

Overcome with joy, he burst forth with a delighted squeal, “Just think, honey, just you and me and the Cardinals and Cubs!” And so it was: Jane shared our 63-year marriage with the St. Louis Cardinals, and more specifically the greatest Cardinal of them all, Stan Musial, who died this past week.

Jane and Stan met; well, sort of. We were at Stan and Biggie’s Restaurant in St. Louis. Stan was at a table nearby. After consider-able urging, our wives went to get Stan’s autograph for us.

Presenting ticket stubs, they told Stan they wanted his auto-graph for their boys. Stan, far from a newcomer at this business, gestured to our table and said, “I suppose those are your boys over there.” They laughed, chatted a few minutes, and came back beaming with two autographed tickets. I wonder where those tickets are now.

I didn’t have to brief Jane on who Stan was. We both recalled that Sunday afternoon in May, 1954 when we were working around our not air-conditioned house (Air Force housing on a cement slab in Likins-Foster off South Topeka Boulevard) in what I recall was an ungodly hot day.

Every once in a while, I would call out, “Janie, guess who just hit a home run?” She had learned well her refrain, “Stan Musial.” She correctly answered “Stan Mu-sial” five times that afternoon. He had achieved a record five homers in one day, never before accom-plished, and done only once since.

Somehow, I have always been aware how much the chapters of Musial’s life paralleled the chap-ters of my life. For example, when he retired in 1963, I felt it also sig-nified the passage of my youth. He had been playing for the Car-dinals 22 years, more than half my lifetime, and I was pretty darn mature by then. There was some-thing empty about the Cardinals, or even major league baseball, without Stan the Man.

In a sense, Stan and I came up together in 1941. I had spent most of that summer in the hospital

trying to stay alive (before anti-biotics) with a draining ruptured appendiceal abcess — listening to baseball broadcasts, the Merrill boys reporting from the war in Europe, and the big bands playing the likes of the “Jersey Bounce,” and “Elmer’s Tune.”

MUSIAL’S FIRST GAME with the Cardinals came on Sept. 17, 1941, and his 20 hits and .426 bat-ting average helped the Cardinals nearly beat out the Dodgers for the pennant. The next year they did.

Another thing I noted after the years I entered private prac-tice until Stan retired (1963) was Stan’s Cardinal contracts and my

earnings from my private medi-cal practice in Topeka were about the same, year after year. For ex-ample, he got his first $100,000 sal-ary i959. My income was not far short of that.

Since 1963, American val-ues, expressed in income, have changed dramatically. The aver-age major league salary today is $3,440,000. And, Alex Rodriquez, a broken-down third baseman, alone, receives $28 million a year.

Meanwhile, back at the oper-ating table, cardiac surgeons re-portedly average $546,000 a year today, but family doctors work hard for an average income of $156,000. The only physicians making baseball-like incomes to-day are administrators, topping out with Unitedhealth Group’s ri-diculous 2006 $1.76 billion for Dr. W. W. McGuire.

But athletes’ incomes, which

have increased severalfold, and doctors’ income, which have held pretty steadily at parity, are among the least things for Ameri-cans to worry about. For most Americans, their median family income has been deliberately fro-zen at about $50,000 since the his-toric election of Ronald W. Rea-gan in 1980.

Back to Stan. He escaped the coal mines of western Pennsylva-nia via one of the only ways out, athletic superiority. Musial’s skill and gentlemanly behavior made him Mr. Cardinal, and an athletic hero — married nearly 72 years to his high school sweetheart — who kids of all ages could well admire and emulate.

The 2003 sale of the former Health Midwest hospital net-work to the out-of-town Hospital Corp. of America was a drawn-out, contentious process.

Thirteen hospitals in the Kan-sas City region were involved, and people understandably wor-ried that the transfer of non-profit community assets to a for-profit owner would result in weakened connections and di-minished charity care.

Based on a judge’s ruling this week, those concerns were well-founded.

Jackson County Circuit Judge John Torrence awarded a $162 million judg-ment against HCA to the Health Care Foundation of Greater Kan-sas City. The foundation con-tended the for-profit hospital owner failed to pay for capital improvements to the former Health Midwest hospitals, as it had agreed to in the terms of the sale, and also may have dodged its full commitment to help with charitable care.

Though HCA says it plans to appeal the ruling, the Health Care Foundation, which was created under the terms of the sale, deserves congratulations for its vigilance. Its board and staff never took their eyes off a core principle spelled out in the transaction — that the commu-

nity as a whole, and indigent pa-tients in particular, should not be abandoned.

Under the sale agreement, Health Midwest, which changed its name to Community Health Group in 2003, was intended to be the front-line watchdog to see that HCA met its obligations. Unfortunately, the legal case so far suggests it has been ineffec-tive in that role. That may also be so of the Missouri and Kan-sas attorney general offices, which reviewed the Community Health Group’s work annually. In future complex agreements of this sort, care should be

taken to create more of a sepa-ration between the designated watchdogs and the people be-ing watched.

A Kansas f o u n d a t i o n also created by the sale, Reach H e a l t h c a r e F o u n d a t i o n , disappointingly declined to join the Health Care Foundation in its legal action.

The trend in health care is toward consolidation. We are likely to see more mergers and sales in which large, out-of-town corporate entities gain control over what are intended to be community assets. Sound agree-ments, and the sort of vigilance that the Health Care Foundation has provided, are essential go-ing forward.

Keep health care promises

The Kansas Health Care Foundation de-serves congratulations for its vigilance. Its board and staff never took their eyes off a core principle ... that the community as a whole, and indigent patients in particular, should not be abanon-ded.

A look back in time60 Years Ago

Week of Jan. 27-Feb. 2, 1953 Northern Allen County rever-

berated with the sounds of battle yesterday afternoon as 1,000 men took to the fields in operation wolf hunt. The sortie was a great success. Twenty of the critters were killed and an undetermined number of hawks, crows, jackrab-bits and small game was bagged. It was a fine afternoon to spend outdoors — so everyone had a good time.

*****A farmer living a few miles

from Iola had a fire recently. He called the Iola fire department. They told him, sorry, you’re not in Iola Township and don’t have

a contract with us. We can’t make the run. Mayor Charles Wilson ex-plained today that the city has no choice. It has to set up rules and abide by them. The rules are: 1. Within city limits fire department service is unlimited and free. 2. Outside the city limits it is by contract only. Iola Township has a contract covering all farms with-in the township. Certain individ-ual farmers have contracts. The city will sign contracts only with individuals living within three miles of the city limits. 3. There are only two exceptions. One is when life is endangered, the other is upon request by a neighboring town when the business district of that town is threatened.

*****The majority of Iola’s retail

stores have adopted new evening closing hours as of Monday. They will close at 5 p.m. on the first five days of the week and at 8:30 p.m. on Saturdays.

*****The Hill Rendering Service,

Topeka, announced this morning that it will close its plants at Iola, Frankfort and Horton Feb. 1 due to economic conditions in the ren-dering business. It is understood here that the low price for hides is one factor which led to the deci-sion. The Iola Hill plant is located south of Iola about a mile south of the viaduct over the Santa Fe tracks on U.S. 169.

Super Bowl Brownies With the Super Bowl coming up this weekend I thought it would be

a good idea to come up with snack ideas. The Super Bowl brownies couldn’t be more easy. Make a batch of your favorite brownies and cut them into football shapes. Then, with a piping bag or an icing can from the grocery store make a football design. A few drops of food coloring can turn the neutral white icing into the team of choice’s colors.

A healthy mixed nut snack A mix of nuts and dried fruits is a healthier alternative to a bowl of dry roasted peanuts. Get a mix

of your favorite raw nuts, such as almonds, pecans and pistachios, and lightly coat with canola oil. Season with cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and sea salt, spread on an oiled baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes.

Put the mixture in a bowl and stir in cranberries. Not only will you have something different at your Super Bowl party, but your guests will thank you for giving them a healthy alternative.

YORK, Pa. (AP) — Mourners at a Pennsylva-nia fast-food fan’s funeral wanted him to have it his way, so they arranged for his hearse — and the rest of the procession — to make one last drive-thru visit be-fore reaching the cemetery.

David Kime Jr. “lived by his own rules,” daughter Linda Phiel said. He consid-ered the lettuce on a burger his version of healthy eat-ing, she said.

To give him a whopper of a send-off Saturday, the fu-neral procession stopped at a Burger King where each mourner got a sandwich for the road.

Kime got one last burger too, the York Daily Record

reported. It was placed atop his flag-draped coffin at the cemetery.

Phiel said the display wasn’t a joke, rather a hap-py way of honoring her father and the things that brought him joy.

“He lived a wonderful life and on his own terms,” she said.

Kime, 88, a World War II veteran, died Jan. 20.

Restaurant manager Margaret Hess said she knew his face and his order. She and her crew made 40 burgers for the funeral pro-cession.

“It’s nice to know he was a loyal customer up until the end — the very end,” she said.

Mustangs pull home top finishes at FredoniaInjury thwarts McDonald’sshot at tournament title


FREDONIA — Saturday fea-tured some good, bad and every-thing in between for Iola High’s wrestling team.

First the good:The Mustangs brought home

three top-three finishes at the 31st annual Fredonia Invitational Tournament.

Senior Chase Roettgen and ju-nior Bryce Misenhelter claimed third place in the 195- and 182-pound divisions, respectively.

Senior Stephen McDonald did them one better, claiming second place at 220 pounds in his first ac-tion in a month.

Unfortunately, McDonald also re-aggravated a shoulder injury that had kept him sidelined since Jan. 3 and will almost certainly keep him out of action for the im-mediate future.

The injury occurred early in McDonald’s championship match against Burlington High’s Gus Farthing.

“The other kid tried a collar jerk move, and Stephen was able to get away from it,” Iola wres-tling coach Brad Carson said.

But McDonald immediately began favoring the shoulder, and time was called.

“He was in some pain, so we stopped the match,” Carson said.

“It really put a damper on what had been a pretty good day.”

Prior to the championship match, McDonald pinned Tyrel Saunders of Wichita West High, then downed Kyle Loy of Fronte-nac 5-0 to secure his berth in the championship.

“The first match was a pretty tough match,” Carson said.

The pair were tied at 1-1 when Saunders attempted a move and found himself slightly out of po-sition. That was the opening Mc-Donald needed to get points for the takedown and very quickly the pin.

In his semifinal victory, Mc-Donald recorded a pair of take-downs and an escape, while pre-venting Loy from as much as an escape point.

Then the injury occurred.“It’s tough because it would

have been nice to have him for Thursday,” Carson said.

Iola will host its only wrestling competition of the season Thurs-day with a double-dual against West Elk and Osawatomie. “This competition will be the last chance our seniors have to wres-tle in front of their home fans.”

Carson said he likely will keep McDonald sidelined until the Class 4A Regional competition

Red Devils fall in OTBy RICHARD LUKEN

[email protected] far as heart-breakers go —

and there have been some doozies this season — Saturday’s over-time defeat at the hands of Cow-ley College may have been the toughest of them all for Allen Community College.

Cowley’s 70-64 overtime win came despite a remarkable per-formance by Allen’s Andrew Rountree, including a banked in 3-pointer with four-tenths of a second left in regulation to force overtime.

“This is a hard one to accept

because we know the caliber of team Cowley is,” Red Devil coach Andy Shaw said. “They’re so dis-ciplined, and they don’t make mistakes to beat themselves.”

A win would have been a big confidence booster for the Red Devils, who remain winless in Jayhawk Conference Eastern Di-vision play.

“Now we just have to regroup,” Shaw said.

Allen didn’t make many mis-takes against Cowley, and certain-ly hit a number of clutch shots

Cowley College’s women proved worthy Saturday of the top of the Jayhawk Con-ference Eastern Division.

The Tigers ended Allen Community College’s mod-est three-game winning streak with a stifling defen-sive effort, particularly in the second half.

Cowley’s 20-2 run span-ning the first and second halves put the Tigers in full control of a 72-41 win.

The loss drops the Red Devils to 11-9 overall and 4-4 in conference play. Cowley improved to 7-1 in confer-ence and 17-3 overall.

“Cowley’s good,” Allen head coach Mark James said. “They’re number one (in the Eastern Division) for a good reason. But I don’t think we executed that well. We turned the ball over too much, and to be honest, many of those turnovers were unforced.”

The Red Devils were up to the challenge for the first 15 minutes of the contest. DaNara Day, Ebonie Jones and Kendra Taiclet all con-nected from 3-point range in the early going, and Miracle Davis’ basket with 5 minutes left in the half capped a 5-0 run to pull Al-len to within 22-20.

Cowley’s T’Ondria No-len drained a pair of free throws to begin a 9-0 run to end the half to lead 31-20.

Allen’s offense continued to struggle after the break.

After committing only

six turnovers in the first half, the Red Devils turned the ball over on five of their first six possessions after the break.

Yvonna Dunkley scored at the 15:15 mark to push the Tigers on top 42-22.

Leslie Ware’s 3-pointer briefly cut Cowley’s lead to 17, 42-35, but Megan Honas responded with her own 3-pointer on Cowley’s next possession to re-establish the 20-point cushion.

Allen could get no closer.Day scored 12 points with

seven rebounds and four as-sists to lead the Red Devils, while Brittney Redmond followed with nine points.

Allen was an ice-cold 20 percent from the field (23 of 63) and 9 of 40 from 3-point

range.Honas scored 15 points

to lead the Lady Tigers, fol-lowed by Montia Johnson with 14 and Tonisha Walker with 13.

Allen resumes play at home Wednesday against Johnson County.

Cowley downs ACC women

from start to finish, but the Tigers’ 1-3-1 zone put the Red Devils off kilter enough to make up an early 14-point deficit, and even-tually take control in over-time.

“We hadn’t seen Cow-ley run a 1-3-1 before, and it hurt us,” Shaw said. “It took away some of the good looks that we’d been get-ting.”

Cowley also displayed a bit of poise in overtime. The Tigers never flinched after Rountree’s game-tying trey. James Milliken started the extra period with a 3-pointer, followed shortly thereafter with a traditional 3-point play by Dominique McCoy. Cowley ended the game by hitting 8 of 12 free throws to seal the win.

Meanwhile, Cowley’s zone defense kept the Red Devil offense stuck in neu-tral. The Red Devils con-nected on only one field goal in the extra frame, a basket by Tray Fountain with 19 seconds left. By then, the Tigers’ lead had grown to 68-60.

Allen’s Bryce Schippers narrowly missed a 3-point-er from the left wing with about 40 seconds left in the

overtime that would have cut the deficit to three, but the shot bounced off the side rim.

THE RED Devils opened the game like gang-busters. Four of the five starters connected from the field in the game’s first eight min-utes. Schippers came off the bench to drain a 3-point-er with 10 minutes left in the first half to give the Red Devils a 17-3 lead. Alex Keiswetter’s bucket with 7½ minutes left pushed Al-len’s lead to 17, 24-7.

McCoy spearheaded Cowley’s response, scoring eight points during a 14-6 run that closed Allen’s lead to 30-21 at halftime.

Coincidentally, Roun-tree was the only Red Devil starter to go scoreless in the first half.

He made up for it after intermission, scoring 10 of ACC’s first 12 points after halftime.

The Tigers closed the gap to 46-45 when Rountree’s putback re-established a three-point cushion. Seth Walden followed shortly thereafter with a 3-pointer to give ACC a 51-45 lead.

Rountree’s clock-beating jumper with 4:11 remaining put Allen on top 53-48.

The Tigers responded

with eight straight points. Milliken scored with 1:24 on the clock to give Cowley its first lead of the game 54-53. His two free throws with 19 seconds remaining pushed Cowley’s lead to 56-53, setting up Rountree’s buzzer-beater from the top of the key.

Rountree scored all of his team-high 19 points af-ter halftime, to go with nine rebounds, four assists and a block.

Cameron Blue followed with eight points, nine boards, three assists and four blocks.

Ben Uno scored seven points before fouling out. Keiswetter and Walden scored six each.

McCoy scored 22 to pace Cowley. Milliken added 16.

EMPORIA — Southern Coffey County High’s boys and girls wrapped up Lyon County League action on a winning note Saturday.

The boys broke open a tight game in the second quarter and rolled from there to a 51-42 win over Madison.

The girls also utilized a strong second quarter to pull ahead of Marais des Cygnes Valley in a 45-30 win.

The victories gave both teams seventh place in their respective sides of the tournament, held in Em-poria. The schools resume

regular season action Tues-day at home against Crest.

THE SCC boys trailed Madison 15-14 late in the second quarter when Aar-on True connected from 3-point range to trigger a 9-0 run.

The Titans led 23-15 at the break and turned on the jets in the third quarter, outscoring Madison 16-9 in the frame. The lead grew to as much as 17 in the second half.

True led Southern Cof-fey County (4-10 overall and 2-8 in Lyon County League) with 13 points, fol-

lowed by Josiah Witteman and Walker Harrod with 12 apiece.

IN GIRLS action, South-ern Coffey County were tied with Marais des Cyg-nes Valley 7-7 before out-scoring the Trojans 17-11 in the second period. The lead swelled to 31-22 by the end of the third quarter.

Kalyn Deal led SCC with 11 points, followed by Sarah Webb and Miranda Alum-baugh with eight apiece. Martyna Hegwald and Brittne Brite both scored six and Breanna Isch had four. Isch also had 10 re-

bounds, while Hegwald had seven rebounds and five steals. Webb had seven re-bounds and three assists.

“We finished the week on a positive note,” Lady Titan coach Jeff True said. “We had a good balance of scor-ing from the girls. We did a better job of moving the ball on offense, and our de-fensive intensity was good.

“Kalyn came off the bench and gave us some good minutes at the guard spot,” True continue.

Abby Phillps scored 15 to pace the Trojans.

The SCC squads host Crest on Tuesday.

Dear Dr. Roach: Can you tell me how the WPW syn-drome is detected? My moth-er had the WPW syndrome, and I think I have it. Some-times my heart beats fast and wobbly. My whole chest sometimes goes up and down. I went to a cardiologist. My stress test was good. My echo-cardiogram was good.

Does my heart have to be in the throes of beating off track for the doctor to record and detect WPW syndrome? — T.Y.

Answer: The “WPW” is Wolf-Parkinson-White syn-drome, a common (1 in 100) heart condition in which the electrical impulse coming from the heart’s pacemaker in the atria takes an alternate pathway to the ventricles of the heart. Normally, the elec-trical stimulus travels down a pathway so that it arrives in the ventricle precisely

when needed. However, in WPW syndrome, the impulse comes too quickly down the alternate path. Occasionally, this leads to a big problem, because the electrical im-pulse can travel back up the normal path and down the fast path again, over and over, causing an extremely rapid heart rate.

WPW usually is found on a routine EKG. There are cases where it can’t be seen, in which case a stress test is of-ten diagnostic. But there are more causes for fast heart-beats. Your cardiologist has done both the echo and the stress test. If you keep having symptoms, you could wear a device that records your heartbeats continuously for 24-48 hours, called a Holter monitor, or an event monitor for even longer times. Speak to your cardiologist if you keep having symptoms.

WPW can be treated with medication, but it now is more frequently being treat-ed with radiocatheter abla-tion, where the extra path-way is destroyed with radio waves. Not everyone with WPW needs treatment.

Dear Dr. Roach: I was wondering what you think about the latest blow against calcium. German and Swiss researchers followed 24,000 adults for 11 years. They found that regular users of calcium supplements had an 86 percent increased risk of

heart attack! I’ve been taking vitamin and calcium supple-ments for years. Should I be concerned? — V.A.

Answer: There have been three papers looking at cal-cium and heart disease risk published in the past year. Two of them showed no benefit or evidence of harm, and one showed evidence of benefit. I carefully read the German study you cite, and the 86 percent apparent risk almost disappears when you look at the data regarding the cumulative effects of supple-mentation.

New data always should be reviewed with caution, espe-cially if it overturns accepted scientific wisdom. Once in a while, something really does turn the scientific world on its head, but in this case I don’t think that calcium supple-mentation is likely to cause a large increase in heart risk.

WPW not only cause of rapid heartbeatDr. Keith Roach

Feb. 15-16 in Pittsburg.“I debated resting him

one more week, and then this,” Carson said. “Wres-tling just has so many ex-plosive movements, you can’t predict when this might happen. We don’t think his shoulder popped out or anything, but he was in some pain.

“It’s tough because Ste-phen could be a possible state qualifier and maybe even a state champion,” Carson said.

ROETTGEN’S third-place finish, meanwhile, left Carson exuberant.

“Chase is such a great kid, and he works so hard,” Carson said. “I think he may have turned a corner with his performance.”

Carson was most encour-aged with how Roettgen ended the competition.

He lost a semifinal match against Jacob Radford of Putnam City, 10-2, sending him into the consolation bracket, where he pinned Wyatt Goodlin of Wichita Independent.

In the third-place match, Roettgen took home a 9-2 win over Isaiah Yeubanks-Murdock of Wichita South.

Carson noted Yeubanks-Murdock opened the match aggressively: perhaps too much so.

Roettgen earned a penal-ty point when his opponent punched his leg, then twice more for similar penalties later in the match.

“Chase really kept con-trol of the match,” Carson said. “He got points for a couple of takedowns, then again late in the match. I think that was the best match I’ve seen Chase wres-tle.”

MISENHELTER ALSO

continued his impressive romp through the 2012-13 season

He rolled over Brabender Cabrera of Andover, then pinned Yancy Wade of West Elk in 30 seconds.

He dropped his semifi-nal match to Rakim Dean of Wichita South by pin, but responded by pinning Cabrera in the consolation semifinal.

Misenhelter was award-ed third place by forfeit when his opponent, Jacob Hendricks of Maize South, had to pull out because he had already wrestled the maximum five matches on the day.

“The thing about Bryce is that he always wrestles hard from start to finish, re-gardless of what the score is,” Carson said. “When you do that, good things happen.”

CODY CONNER, junior, took home fifth place at 145 pounds. He opened with a major decision over Isaiah Kemps of Maize South, 15-5, then pinned Coby Carter

of Valley Center in 30 sec-onds.

Conner’s troubles started in the semifinals when he was pinned by ReShean Tipton of Wichita South. He then lost his consola-tion match to Ethan Hess of Frontenac 4-2.

“Cody had some bad luck in that loss,” Carson said.

Conner was adjusting his head gear when the referee blew his whistle to start the third and final round.

Hess took full advantage with a two-point takedown, enough for the decisive points.

Conner was awarded fifth place by forfeit over Carter.

“Cody struggled a little bit,” Carson said.

Brice Aiello took sev-enth at 152 pounds. He pinned Clay Hokr of Leon-Blusetem, before being pinned by Jared Brown of Andover in his quarterfi-nal match. He responded by defeating Kyle Dean of Erie by pin, but lost to Sharif Jones of Wichita East, 5-1.

Aiello won seventh by forfeit over Logan Kressly of Rose Hill.

“Brice continues to get better and better,” Carson said. “As a freshman, he still makes some mistakes, but he’s improving every day.”

Travis Rieske, mean-while, dropped his two matches. He went up against top-seeded Jesse Ol-iver of Wichita West by pin. He also was pinned by John Engelmeyer of Rose Hill in consolation action.

“Travis had a couple of tough opponents to deal with,” Carson said.

THURSDAY’S double dual against West Elk and Osawatomie will offer an opportunity for local wres-tling fans to see the Mus-tangs in action.

Carson said special rec-ognition would be given to the seniors as well.

Thursday’s matches be-gin at 5:30 p.m.

The wrestlers will travel to the Silver Lake Invita-tional next Saturday.

Register/Richard LukenIola High’s Stephen McDonald, right, wrestles against Pittsburg High’s Gershom Avalos in a match earlier this season. McDonald took home second place Tuesday at the Fredonia Invitational Tournament, but aggravated a shoulder injury in the process.

FORT SCOTT — Iola High freshman Andrew Garber brought home a second-place finish Sat-urday at a junior var-sity wrestling tourna-ment.

Garber, wrestling at 170 pounds, swept past his first three opponents be-fore falling in the cham-pionship match to Regan Wright of Mill Valley with a 7-0 decision — a wrestler he had defeated earlier in the competition.

After a first-round for-feit, Garber opened the competition by pinning David McHie of Spring Hill in 5 minutes, 26 sec-onds.

He then defeated Wright, 9-4 in the third round of pool play.

Garber secured a berth in the championship match by pinning Austin Storck of Spring Hill with 3 seconds remaining in the third and final period.

Sophomore Jordan Long took seventh at 160 pounds.

He started with a pin over Blake Driskell of Paola at 1:36 before los-ing to Jesse Hodge of Fort Scott by a pin at 2:17. Long was sent to the consola-tion bracket, where he lost by pin to Grant Thompson of Blue Valley Southwest by pin in 3:29, then by de-cision to Alex Gepford of Frontenac, 2-1.

He secured seventh place by forfeit over Chris-tian Farris of Blue Valley Southwest.

COLONY — The second quarter told the tale for Crest High’s girls Friday.

The Lady Lancers, tied with visiting Uniontown High after one quarter, saw the Lady Eagles explode for a 20-6 scoring margin in the second period.

Uniontown put it in cruise control from there in a 58-39 win.

Crest didn’t go away quietly, closing to within seven, 42-35, after three quarters.

Uniontown closed the game with a 16-4 run.

Kurston Gilliland scored 16 points to lead Crest, followed by Em-malee Seabolt with eight and Madison Kellar with five.
