County organizes Safety DayBy STEVEN SCHWARTZsteven@iolaregister.comMore than 600 area elemen-

tary students gathered at Riv-erside Park on Monday morn-ing for the third annual Allen County Safety Days.

Angela Murphy, 911 direc-tor with the county, said the day is meant to educate chil-dren on safety and safety per-sonnel in the area, and also to have some fun.

“You’ve got to make learn-ing fun to some degree, or they’re (the students) just not going to learn,” Murphy said. It seemed the kids were hav-ing no shortage of learning or fun in the parking lot outside of the new community build-ing.

It would have seemed like a disaster area if it weren’t

HUMBOLDT — Humboldt council members pledged $25,000 for local match of a proposed 20-80 grant to make it safer for students walking or biking to school.

Mary Durand, middle school math teacher, said her students took on a project to attract a Kansas Depart-ment of Transportation Safe Routes to School grant a year ago, but came up short in the competition. Calling them-selves Cubs that Care, they want to try again this year and think their chances are better with the city’s support.

If the grant is successful, KDOT would put in $100,000 to make the total $125,000. Side-walks would be constructed and improved, curb cuts would be made to accommo-date the handicapped, routes to and from school would be

color-coded, and street cross-ings would be marked. Some street work also would be in-volved, including signage.

The work would center on 11th, 12th, Central and Bridge streets and involve students enrolled at elementary and middle schools.

Durand said her stu-dents began the project by walking routes to and from schools and photographing problem areas, which she showed in a slide presenta-tion.

“The city’s support is im-

portant,” she said, and could be the tipping point this year.

“We have to do what’s right by our kids,” said Mayor Nobby Davis. “I think this is a must for us.”

City Administrator Larry Tucker said the city’s finan-cial support could be drawn from the community develop-ment fund, which contains $95,000.

Prior to Durand’s presen-tation, council members voted to add stop signs on east-west streets along South Eighth Street, except at Pine, an east-west artery, and lower the speed limit from Pine on south past the swimming pool from 30 to 20 miles an hour.

Chief of Police Brian Dil-low asked for the safety mea-sures, noting officers had worked several traffic acci-dents on South Eighth and

By STEVEN SCHWARTZsteven@iolaregister.comIola City Council mem-

bers held discussions Mon-day night that will lead them one step closer to annexing, or not annexing, Country Estates.

“I believe we need to move forward for various rea-sons,” Councilman Steve French said during the meeting. He cited the need for an increase in popula-tion in the city, the loss of houses in the 2007 flood, as well as the need for regular maintenance and a stricter billing process for sewer use in the development.

Duane McGraw, a home-owner in Country Estates north of Iola, came before the council to voice his grievances over the state of water and sewer services where he lives.

“Most people couldn’t even tell you where their wa-ter meters are,” he said.

He said there is a lack of knowledge, and desire, for people to serve on the water board — which acts as a ru-ral water district outside of the city. He said homeown-ers and renters are not tak-ing responsibility for their own maintenance, and it is taking a toll on the rest; not to mention he has had the sewers back up into his home on several occasions.

“It’s a problem that has been brewing for some time,” French said.

The only issue on the city’s side — this will not be a money-making venture.

“The annexation will be

Associated PressOTTAWA, Kan. (AP) — A

man charged with killing three adults and a toddler on a Franklin County farm made a brief appearance in a packed courtroom Monday, but showed little emotion while a judge set a new court date.

Kyle Flack, 27, has been held on $10 million bond in the Franklin County jail since he was charged Friday with capital murder in the deaths of 18-month-old Lana Leigh Bailey; her mother, Kaylie Bailey, 21; and Andrew Stout, 30. Flack is also charged with multiple counts of first-degree murder in those deaths, as well as that of Steven White, 31.

The adults’ bodies were found early last week at an Ot-tawa area farm home. A body believed to be the toddler’s was found Saturday in nearby Osage County.

Flack was picked up for questioning last week about 50 miles southwest of Ottawa in Emporia, where officers also found the car that Kaylie

Bailey had been driving when she was last seen. She and her child were reported missing from Olathe on May 3.

In court Monday, four armed officers stood between Flack and the small court-room, which was overflowing with family and friends of the victims.

Flack was shackled at the wrists and ankles, and ap-peared with his lawyer, Ron-ald Evans. He waived having an initial preliminary hear-ing set in 15 days, and Judge Thomas Sachse set it for July 8 instead.

Evans declined additional comment after the hearing.

Authorities said in the com-plaint filed Friday against Flack that a firearm was used in the four deaths. Franklin County Attorney Stephen Hunting, however, has de-clined to say if the four had been shot. Authorities haven’t said what the motive for the killings may have been.

Sheriff Jeff Richards, who also attended the hearing,

be more of a liability at this point than an as-set,” City Administra-tor Carl Slaugh told the council.

The area, which holds 67 lots and 56 residen-cies, would require ad-ditional maintenance from the city through roadway maintenance, sewer maintenance, and many others. The tax dollars may not be enough to cover the costs.

“It’s going to cost us as a city to get those (lift station) pumps fixed,”

Mayor Joel Wicoff said. “That is a lot of infra-

structure we are going to add,” Assistant City Administrator Corey Schinstock said.

Ultimately, Slaugh said the area needs to be annexed in order to receive the funds to update the area, which will need to happen ei-ther way.

Wicoff said the area should be annexed for the benefit of the people living there.

“We need to take care of our neighbors,” he said.

Slaugh said the next step would be a public notice of official an-nexation of Country Estates.

IN OTHER business:— A motion was

passed to refinance the hospital bond, in order to garner lower interest rates.

— The Iola Police De-partment will purchase a new patrol vehicle through Twin Motors Ford for $26,700.

— Ergon Asphalt and Emulsions, Kansas City, was selected as the win-

ning bid for the city’s chip and seal project.

— A petition for an-nexation was approved by A.C.B., Inc. for a tract of land north of Iola Cemetery, on West Lincoln Street outside of city limits.

— A motion was passed for the Commu-nity Development Block Grant payment request, a total of $22,064.

— A motion was passed for a $6,500 pay-ment toward phase one of the wastewater im-provement project.

that changes should make it safer for chil-dren going to and from the swimming pool.

A crosswalk also will be installed at Pine and Eighth streets.

Tucker said stop signs needed for the South Eighth Street project would cost about $900.

IF HAIL damage ever came at an opportune time, it was earlier this spring in Humboldt.

Council members had been mulling re-pairs to the City Hall roof and now will have nearly $21,500 in insur-ance proceeds to help pay the bill.

Tucker pointed out the settlement was for all city buildings, but “we’ll get it in a lump sum check and can use it all on City Hall.”

A bid from Mur-phy Roofing, Stark, at

$34,750 for a foam roof was the lowest of four.

Rick Murphy noted that if a contract were approved, he could start the project next week. Waiting might push the work back several months, he added, with a number of roof repairs in Fort Scott pending.

Council members didn’t waste any time and voted unanimous-ly to accept Murphy’s proposal.

IN OTHER NEWS:— Security cameras

will be placed in Can-non, Centennial and Neosho River parks, as well as near the brush dumping area south of Hunter Park. Dil-low said rotating cam-eras atop utility poles would feed images 24 hours a day by Internet and be recorded at po-lice headquarters.

If vandalism or oth-

er incidents occur, im-ages will provide infor-mation and evidence for officers. Cost will be $2,850. Images will be stored in a rolling 30-day segment, with the first day replaced by the 31st and so on.

— Barbara Ander-son, with the Kansas Department Com-merce, announced Humboldt was recog-nized as a Community of Excellence by the Kansas PRIDE Pro-gram, which “opens the door for grants.”

Anderson lauded all the community had done, including con-struction of Neosho River Park that “will be here 50 years from now, just like the WPA (Works Progress Ad-ministration) projects built in the 1930s are today. I’m very proud of you.”

— Council members instructed Tucker to proceed with research on having a mural painted on a wall in

the City Hall basement meeting room. The mural idea surfaced at a Rotary Club meet-ing. Tucker showed a sketch done by Harvey Peck, local artist and Rotarian. Peck has done such projects in the past but isn’t physi-cally able to now, Tuck-ers said, which will lead Rotarians to look for another artist.

— Craig Mintz had the higher of two bids for a 1973 Ford tractor at $1,451.

— Tucker said a community conversa-tion on housing would be the evening of May 21 at Humboldt Public Library. Also upcom-ing is the opening of the swimming pool on May 25 and dedication of Neosho River Park at 5 p.m. June 8.

— Among annual ap-pointments made by Davis were Tucker as administrator, Fred Works attorney, Jean Flores city clerk and Dillow chief of police.

said afterward that fo-rensic work was con-tinuing on what authori-ties believed to be the child’s remains.

Andrew Helm, 27, of Gardner, was a friend of the victims’ and was one of Flack’s co-workers at the Ottawa Sanitation Department a couple years ago. Helm said he attended the hearing to support Stout’s family.

Helm said Stout, Flack, Bailey and her daughter attended a bar-becue at Helm’s home on April 28 and that he no-ticed nothing unusual.

The criminal com-plaint filed in the case said Lana and Kaylie Bailey and Stout were killed “on or about or be-tween” April 28 to May 6, and that White was killed “on or about or between” April 20 and April 28.

Vicki Engstrom, of Ottawa, said she was a longtime friend of

Stout’s family and at-tended Flack’s hearing so she “could see his ex-pression.”

“I didn’t see any re-morse in him at all,” she said.

HUMBOLDT — Two existing businesses are collaborating to create a new business on the square.

Works of Art Studio/Gallery and Terry’s Flowers are coming together to open The Frame Shop, which will be located in Ter-ry’s Flowers’ north building.

“We were thinking Works of Art needed to have an outlet for fram-ing, but we didn’t have the space to put togeth-er frames and mats,” Janie Works said. “Then Terry walked in with this idea because she has more space than she needed.”

The two will share the building, incorpo-rating both businesses and offering custom framing along with some home décor, man-aged by Butts.

“Framing lends it-self to the home décor business,” Butts said. “It was a good fit.”

Equipment needed for the full service frame shop was pur-chased from a closed business and has been moved into the build-ing on the east side of the square.

“We have all kinds of frames, stretchers, mats, equipment and everything we need,” Butts said. “We have a

ton of prints that will also be available for sale and framing.”

The Gallery was

able to offer a limited amount of framing, but the new business will speed up the turn-around time, Works said.

Butts and current Terry’s Flowers em-

ployees will be trained in the next few weeks on the elements of cut-ting mats and glass.

Their finished prod-uct displays will be hung along with sam-ple frame styles. The Frame Shop hours will be 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Fri-day; Saturday until 3

p.m. or by appointment and can be reached by calling (620) 473-3747 or 473-3743.

Terry’s Flowers owner, Terry Butts, left, and Works of Art owner, Janie Works, are teaming up to create a new frame business in the building between the flower shop and the gallery on the east side of the square.

Humboldt CorrespondentHUMBOLDT — The

student body and staff at Humboldt High School probably think of Kile Martin as “sarcastic and a comedian” in the classroom, so he will in-corporate those charac-teristics into the speech he plans to make during commencement on Sat-urday.

“When they were looking for a guy to be a speaker at gradua-tion, everyone avoided it like the plague, but then someone said I should do it. I thought I’d take up the speech and throw in some comedy,” Martin said grinning.

His easy-going, play-ful attitude made it easy for him to make friends at Humboldt High School when he moved here after 8th grade from a small town in Oklaho-ma.

“I had never trans-ferred (schools) before and was a nervous wreck about it,” Martin said. “When I first showed up, I started making friends left and right.”

Kristin McClanahan is one of his close friends and they will be sharing the responsibility of ad-dressing the senior class Saturday afternoon.

“I know a lot of people in school and interact with them,” he said. “When they need help, I help as much as I can.”

Even though Martin, 18, considers history his best class, his love of music influenced his career plans to be a disc jockey. He plays the bass and electric guitar.

“I have a strong rela-tionship with music,” he said. “My grandfather was a musician and my grandmother liked tra-ditional music. I hung out with them a lot when

I was a kid. I’ve always been around music.”

He plans to continue his education at Neosho County Community Col-lege and then pursue ra-dio broadcasting at Pitts-burg State University. However, the Air Force is the alternate plan if broadcasting doesn’t work out.

In history class, Mar-tin said, “I had an enthu-siasm with the war chap-ters I think because my grandfather was in Viet-nam. Math was probably my worst class.”

He has enjoyed high school in Humboldt and feels like he is better pre-pared for college than he would have been at his previous school.

Two people in particu-lar stand out as influen-tial in Martin’s life; his friend Nick Keazer and English instructor, Hai-ley Schoendaller.

“Nick was like a critic on my assignments and Mrs. Schoendaller mo-tivated me to do better work,” he said.

Martin is the son of Angela Martin, Hum-boldt, and Verlon Mar-tin, Oklahoma.

“My mom was some-what surprised at how easily I made friends when we moved here,” he said. “But, she feels like it was a good choice that we moved. It’s a good environment.”

Framing lends itself to home decor business. It was just a good fit.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

It’s a war on words, for readers.

Ever since the Times-Pic-ayune announced two years ago it would reduce its days of publication from seven to three, its rival, the Ad-vocate of Baton Rouge, has garnered a greater share of NOLA (New Orleans, La.) readers.

Leaders of the Times-Picayune have touted its website as the go-to pref-erence of readers and ad-vertisers, saying the paper product soon will be a thing of the past.

Trouble is, both readers and advertisers still prefer the print product for ease of reading and superior promotion. Yes, they like the Internet for viewing the news-paper when at work or commuting on the bus or train, but by and large, they still like the newspa-per over the Internet.

Don’t take our word for it. Warren Buffett, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, has purchased 28 newspapers over the last two years, deeming them a worthy in-vestment.

Booksellers are finding the same trend. Despite the proliferation of ebooks and electronic tablets, the larg-est segment of the popula-tion reads a book the old-fashioned way — soft- or hard-bound, dog-eared and perhaps with a coffee stain or two.

Ever since its switch to primarily Internet, the Times-Picayune has seen a dramatic drop in circula-tion. Along with reducing

its number of publication days, the Times-Picayune also slashed its number of employees, which, no sur-prise, resulted in less of a product.

In the newspaper busi-ness it takes boots on the ground to report on stories and call on customers for advertisements. All the Ba-ton Rouge Advocate need do was send the troops down the road to New Or-leans and it had a willing and ready market for its services. As of January, the Advocate had 22,000 NOLA readers, about one-fifth of its total circulation.

As of last Tuesday, the T i m e s - P i c -ayune has r e v e r s e d course, an-nouncing it will replace those lost days with a tabloid, a typical news-paper held vertically in-stead of on the horizon-tal.

THE NEWS is a relief to us in the business who have been trying to ride the wave of the Internet without los-ing our shorts.

Yes, we know it’s a vi-able medium because we ourselves are on the Inter-net all day. But it doesn’t replace one-on-one contact with our news sources nor does it compare to a hand-shake to confirm a sale completed to satisfaction.

We still get goose bumps by seeing our newspaper printed each day.

The thump on the door-step, the surprise in the mailbox. Sights and sounds that say America still wants its news — delivered.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has joined the battle against obesity. The tactic Christie has employed in his own battle is among the most severe, but he deserves credit for realizing he is responsible for his own health.

That is something everyone should acknowledge, and take to heart.

Christie, an obese man by any definition, chose to have gastric banding surgery in February to lose weight. Dur-ing the surgery, a band was placed around the top of Christie’s stomach to form a small pouch. That restricts the amount of food he can eat at one sitting. Most people who have the surgery feel full after eating a small amount.

Christie has said he wants to lose weight so he is around to enjoy his family for a long time. Some people have suggested his motivation was a possible presidential bid in 2016.

Regardless, the attempt to improve his health and lon-gevity could serve as an exam-ple for others who care to pay attention, although gastric banding shouldn’t be the pre-ferred method for everyone.

Health care and health care insurance are becoming more expensive all the time. Mean-while, medical profession-als say a large portion of the

money spent on medical care each year is for the treatment of illnesses or conditions that are preventable.

Obesity and lung cancer are high on that list. Treatments of conditions brought on by illegal drug use and excessive

drinking also are expensive, and avoidable.

A report released in Oc-tober 2012 by the National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicated 63.7 percent of Kansans were over-weight and 29.4 percent were obese. Among high-school age children, 12.4 percent were obese.

A September 2012 report, by Trust for America’s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, indicated Kansas would be the seventh-most obese state in the nation by 2030, based on the latest obe-sity rates and trends in each state. The study indicated

Kansas’ obesity rate could rise to 62.1 percent of all resi-dents by 2030.

Those are distressing num-bers and trends, but they don’t have to prevail. Everyone is responsible for his or her own health and adopting healthy

habits can prevent obesity, as well as other illnesses and conditions.

Most people can control their body weight with mod-erate portions of a nutritious and balanced diet. Some peo-ple may also require exercise, but they don’t have to be work-out junkies. Low-stress exer-cise, such as walking, cycling or swimming, can do wonders.

People with addictions to dangerous substances also have that battle to fight, but they should take encourage from those who have done so and taken control of their health.

Christie takes on responsibility of health

Medical professionals say a large portion of the money spent on medical care each year is for the treatment of illnesses or conditions that are preventable. Obesity and lung cancer are high on that list.

By DUANE GOOSSENKansas Health InstituteA look at the Tax Freedom

Day map at right yields inter-esting information on how the Kansas tax burden compares to other states and should give policymakers something to think about in the final days of the 2013 legislative session as they work to set future tax policy.

Each year the Tax Founda-tion calculates the Tax Free-dom Day for each state — the day when the state’s residents have earned enough money to pay all federal, state and local taxes they owe that year.

Kansas reached its 2013 Tax Freedom Day on April 9, more than a month ago. Connecti-cut, the last state, arrived at that point just this week. Two Kansas neighbors — Missouri and Oklahoma — reached just days before Kansas, but Kan-sas was ahead of Nebraska and Colorado.

A more interesting com-parison, though, shows the relationship of Kansas to the nine states that do not have a state income tax. Two-thirds of the no-income-tax states — Washington, Wyoming, New Hampshire, Florida, Nevada and Texas — came to their freedom day later than Kan-sas. Alaska, South Dakota and Tennessee were earlier.

This suggests that even though a state does not have

an income tax, other taxes may take its place in the over-all tax burden that residents bear.

State income tax receipts do not calculate into the rev-enue mix in these states, but a proportionally higher col-lection of other taxes does. Further, this illustrates that if some Americans make deci-sions about which state to live in based on tax burden, that decision is really much more complicated than only consid-ering whether a state has an income tax or not.

Washington is a no-income-tax state, but this year Wash-ingtonians reached their Tax Freedom Day 11 days later than Kansans. Which state is more attractive if the only cri-teria for the choice is the size

of the tax burden?Policymakers are seriously

considering placing Kansas on a zero-income-tax path. The Senate-passed tax plan, for example, would put more income tax rate cuts into law. If rates are cut further, col-lections from some other tax must go up.

How would that work? What are those other sources? What do the zero-income-tax states use to bring money to their budgets? Or, if the income tax revenue is not replaced, what realistic spending cuts can lawmakers apply to balance the budget?

Duane Goossen is a former budget director for the state of Kansas. He now writes for the Kansas Health Institute.

No income tax doesn’t ease burden Dear community,

Thank you so much for helping us go to Washington, D.C. to represent Iola High School in the National His-tory Bowl. We are grateful for all the money and time people put in to make such a trip possible.

In the competition itself, we had both a varsity and junior varsity team. The varsity had a record of 2-6, while the JV was 3-7. In its division, the varsity was in a three-way tie for first, but the tie-breaker put us in third.

It was special to us that one of the questions was about our own Frederick Funston. Although we may not have been as successful as we had hoped, we still had a great experience. While on the National Mall, we visit-ed many memorials, monu-ments and museums.

One of the highlights was being in the balcony of Ford’s Theatre only 10 feet from the box where Abra-ham Lincoln was shot.

Many of us also got to visit the National Gallery of Art. We saw works by Durer, Calder, Van Gogh, Rembrandt and many oth-ers. Each of the monuments amazed us with its size and grandeur. The museums pro-

vided opportunities to learn history outside the class-room. It made us proud to be from Kansas when we saw the large exhibit on Amelia Earhart.

Overall, we learned a lot on our trip. Not only were we further educated in our nation’s history, we also viewed amazing art and wit-nessed mighty architectural feats. Many on the team had never used a subway or met-ro before, let alone fly. Fur-thermore, after being to a large city on the East Coast, we can appreciate Iola so much more.

Again, we thank the com-munity for helping us on our trip. The Whitehead Trust deserves extra special thanks. Our sponsors and teachers Jeff Fehr and Tra-vis Hermstein have earned their thank-yous, not only for taking us to Washington, but also for teaching us and instilling a love of history in each of us.

Sincerely,The IHS

By TERRY BROYLESHumboldt Correspondent

HUMBOLDT — Kris-tin McClanahan lacked only the test scores from two classes to know if she would end her high school career at the top of the class with a grade point average (GPA) of 4.0.

She maintained a 4.0 GPA throughout high school, but at the time of the interview, she still had two tests to complete before the final GPA cal-culation.

“I always had a goal to be a successful person in life,” McClanahan said. “I didn’t really set out to be the best in my class, I just wanted to be the best I could be.”

Favoring science and math, she knew she wanted to be in the biol-ogy field, but had not de-termined what area until recently.

“I also like journalism, but I love lab work,” she said. “I was investigat-ing colleges to see what they had to offer and this recruiter guy from Missouri Southern State talked about forensic analysis. When I heard

about that, I just knew that’s what I wanted to do because of all the biology involved.”

McClanahan will have a double major at Mis-souri Southern in biol-ogy and biochemistry with a minor in criminal justice.

She thinks Humboldt High School has pre-pared her for college.

“Most definitely,” she said. “I had strong teach-er support here and the way the classes can be set up to get dual credits has prepared me.”

School Counselor, Staci Wiatrak, pointed out admirable qualities in McClanahan as a top student throughout high school. “She is an out-standing student that takes on every challenge. She is one of those that will prevail. She is tena-cious in her endeavors and will be successful.

“She was quiet her freshman year, but I’ve watched her blossom as a senior. I can’t wait to see where she’ll go; she’s des-tined for great things.”

McClanahan, 18, main-tained a 4.0 GPA while

taking a regular sched-ule of high school class-es, college credit classes, playing sports and work-ing 30 hours a week. She will graduate Saturday with 39 hours of college credit.

She was in third grade when she started school in Humboldt after mov-ing here from New Mex-ico with her mother, Ta-mara Todd.

“My mom always pushed me for excel-lence,” she said. “She would say ‘I know you can do it.’ My teachers would tell me they knew I could do better. I would get an extra boost from all the staff; they’re awe-some.”

for the smiles of hun-dreds of children as they learned about safety in Allen County. Police vehicles, am-bulances, a care-flight helicopter, K-9 units and fire trucks lined the parking lot for chil-dren to explore and learn.

The list of contrib-uting personnel is ex-tensive to say the least: Allen County 911, emer-gency management, CERT, EMS, sheriff ’s department, correc-tions and reserves; Iola and LaHarpe Police Departments; Iola Fire Department, LaHarpe Rural Fire Depart-ment, Allen County Volunteer Fire Depart-ment, Kansas Highway Patrol, Iola Electric Department, Eagle Med, Wilson, Mont-gomery and Neodesha K-9 Units and appear-ances by Daren the Lion and McGruff all filled the agenda for the program.

“We wanted to open it to all public safety,”

Murphy said. She said the goal was

to not only educate, but familiarize the stu-dents with emergency personnel, so they are prepared in any situa-tion.

“We want to teach kids about overall pub-lic safety,” Murphy said. “We want them to understand and not be scared of the ser-vices.”

She said the event was sponsored in part

by the Iola Senior Center, and primar-ily funded by the Allen County attorney’s of-fice. County Attorney Wade Bowie issued an official statement re-garding the donation for the event.

“I am committed to helping and know the money will allow you all to focus on the event and not shaking trees to raise money to pay for things,” Bowie said in the release.

Officer Darren Kellerman with the Allen County Sheriff’s Department seems distressed enough to call 911.

YC’s Schemper qualifies for state golf tournament — B2Marmaton Valley’s golf season ends at regionals — B2

Iola High sophomore Kaden Macha won his second straight Class 4A regional individual title by recording the best score at El Dorado’s Prairie Trails Golf Course.

Macha takes regional titleBy RICHARD LUKEN

richard@iolaregister.comEL DORADO — Kaden Ma-

cha made it 2-for-2 in regional championships.

The Iola High sophomore collected his second straight Class 4A regional title as the top individual golfer by scor-ing a 1-over-par 72 Monday at El Dorado’s Prairie Trails Golf Course

The win was the center-piece of Iola’s second-place team finish.

By finishing second among 10 schools, Iola qualifies en masse for the Class 4A State Tournament next Monday in Cheney.

This is the second straight year the entire Mustang squad has qualified for state.

“That’s quite an accom-plishment for a sophomore to do that,” Iola golf coach Doug Kerr said.

The Mustangs were well suited to handle the course at Prairie Trails and weren’t as affected as some of the other teams as winds picked up late

in the round.“That was the key,” Kerr

said. “We were able to main-tain our rounds, while other teams struggled.”

Except for one.Wichita Collegiate rolled

to the team championship by carding a 304, 25 strokes better than Iola’s.

“We were within seven strokes at the turn, but they really turned it on down the stretch,” Kerr said, noting Collegiate’s top four golfers all scored in the 70s. Iola had two such golfers: Macha and Shane Walden, who carded a 79 for eighth place overall.

The top three teams qualify for state. Finishing in third was Trinity Academy of Wichita at 332. Augusta was fourth at 340.

Macha took the lead with a blistering back nine score of 34, but didn’t secure his win until Collegiate’s Camron Chugg lipped out a putt that would have tied the score on

Mustangs open with rompBy RICHARD LUKEN

richard@iolaregister.comIt took about a half inning

for Iola High’s Mustangs to get their sea legs under them Monday on the baseball dia-mond.

Iola spotted visiting An-derson County a 3-0 lead by the middle of the first inning before responding in a big way. The Mustangs scored six in the bottom of the inning, one in the second and five in the third of the Class 4A re-gional tournament.

Tyler Clubine’s single to right field in the bottom of the fifth ended the game via the 10-run mercy rule, 14-4.

“I felt good about our abil-ity to come back, but you just

can’t go down 3-0 like that in a regional game,” Iola coach Mark Percy said. “You never know if the other gets hot or you just hit line drives at fielders and come up empty.”

In Monday’s case, neither worry came to fruition.

While The Mustangs launched a few blasts from the batter’s box, most of the damage came from forced Anderson County mistakes.

The Bulldogs committed five errors, most coming from fielders hurrying throws in an attempt to gun down Mus-tang baserunners.

“We take pride in that: run-ning hard and challenging the defense,” Percy said.

Levi Ashmore and Mason

Coons both reached in the first inning on fielding er-rors by Anderson County’s shortstop to start the Mus-tang scoring. Aaron Barclay followed with a run-scoring single. Cole Morrison did the same two batters later. Drew Faulhaber was hit by a pitch, leading to Eric Heffern’s RBI single. Ashmore capped the rally with a two-run double, putting the Mustangs on top 6-3.

Pinch runner Jacob Rhoads was pivotal for Iola’s second-inning tally. He ran for Derrick Weir, who opened the inning by getting hit by a pitch. Rhoads stole second

CHANUTE — Two-out ral-lies killed Iola High’s chances to advance in the Class 4A re-gional softball tournament.

The Fillies twice retired the first two Parsons batters in the inning, only to see the Vikings mount sustained ral-lies.

The clincher came in the top of the eighth, after Iola scored two runs to force ex-tra innings. Starting pitcher Mackenzie Weseloh retired the first two Viking batters in short order, but a trio of costly errors led to a five-run explosion.

Parsons emerged with an 11-6 victory, ending Iola’s sea-son at 4-12.

“That’s been the story all season,” Iola coach Vince Coons said. “We just couldn’t close out innings.”

Iola rebounded from an early 3-0 deficit, taking its first lead on Katie Thomp-son’s sacrifice fly in the bot-tom of the fifth inning.

But Parsons rallied for two in the sixth to retake the lead and one in the seventh to go up 6-4.

Iola’s tying rally in the bot-tom of the seventh was aided by a catcher’s interference call by the umpire, giving Shelby Reno first base. Ashlie Shields followed with a sin-gle. Both players stole a base and came around to score on a Parsons error to tie the score at 6-6.

Iola seemed to have full control when Weseloh quick-ly retired the first two Vi-

king batters in the top of the eighth.

Things went south in a hurry.

Parsons’ Syvauna Hinman started the rally with a single to left. The next two batters reached base on Iola fielding errors, leading to two runs. Libby Hizey followed with a two-run single to put the game out of reach.

“There were a lot of field-

ing errors and mental errors on the base paths,” Coons said.

A pair of two-out Parsons singles, sandwiched around three straight walks, gave the Vikings a 2-0 lead after one inning. The lead grew to 3-0 when Bailey Foster singled and scored in the second.

Iola’s comeback began with Katie Thompson’s lead-off double in the bottom of

the second. She stole third, then scored on a bad throw.

Halie Cleaver and Katie Shields ripped two-out RBI singles in the bottom of the fourth to tie the score after Reno reached on an error to start the frame.

A controversial umpire’s ruling gave the Fillies a short-lived lead in the fifth.

HUMBOLDT — Humboldt High’s softball team bid a fond farewell to Manion Field Mon-day.

The Lady Cubs played their final game at Manion — a new sports complex east of Hum-boldt is nearly finished — by thumping visiting Pittsburg-St. Mary’s Colgan, 5-0.

The victory in the opening round of the Class 3A Softball Tournament, puts Humboldt (13-2) up against third seed Southeast this afternoon at about 4:45 at host Pittsburg State University. The winner will face either top seed Jay-hawk-Linn or Riverton. River-

CHANUTE — Jay-hawk-Linn High defeat-ed Neodesha, 5-1, Mon-day in the opening round of the Class 3A Regional Baseball Tournament.

The Jayhawks ad-vance to take on top seed Humboldt (12-2) in second round action at noon Wednesday at the baseball diamond at Neosho County Commu-

nity College. In other 3A action,

third seed Burlington defeated Erie 8-4. The Wildcats advance to take on second seed Eureka (11-2) Wednesday with the winner playing the victor of Humboldt and Jayhawk-Linn in the championship game, scheduled for about 5 p.m. Wednesday at

NCCC.

MEANWHILE, Ar-ma-Northeast defeated Yates Center, 15-11, in their first round match-up Monday in the Class 2-1A regional. The Vi-kings advance to take on second seed Marmaton Valley, which received a first round bye. The Wildcats will play North-

east at 4 p.m. Wednesday in Yates Center, with the winner advancing to face either top seed St. Paul or fourth seed Lyn-don. Lyndon defeated Uniontown 16-6 in their first round contest. St. Paul had a bye in the first round. The cham-pionship game will be at about 6 p.m. Wednesday in Yates Center.

Wildcats ousted in 2-1A action

LEONARDVILLE — After cutting his teeth on grass greens through the 2013 golf season, Yates Center High’s Nick Schemper took to the sand quite nicely.

Schemper scored an 88 Monday to finish in 13th place at the Sand Green Regional Tour-nament, hosted by Ri-ley County at Leonard-ville Golf Course.

Schemper advanc-es to the State Sand Greens Tournament next Monday in Tip-

ton. It marks the sec-ond consecutive year Schemper has quali-fied for state.

Yates Center’s other golfer, Derrick Hes-lop, carded a 115 and earned 26th. Rock Hills scored a 305 to win the team title. Ri-ley County was second at 319. Both schools ad-vance to state.

Rock Hills’ Devon Freeman shot a 72, one stroke better than teammate Samuel Flinn.

Schemper earns state golf berth

PRETTY PRAIRIE — Marmaton Valley High’s golf team fin-ished in seventh place Monday at the Class 1A Regional Golf Tournament, hosted by the Links at Pretty Prairie.

Leading the way for the Wildcats was Mitch Covey, who shot a 100 to finish in 18th place.

Others competing for Marmaton Valley

were Mike Swift, 24th at 108; Lane Hamm, 30th at 114; and Joe Jef-feris, 36th at 120.

Olpe captured the top team score of 359, followed by Pretty Prairie’s 374. Chetopa scored a 398 for third. All three schools ad-vance to next week’s Class 1A state tourna-ment in Emporia.

Olpe’s Chase Coble had the top individual score with a 71.

MV season ends

The umpire ruled Parsons’ pitcher was taking too long to warm up, calling out balls while she continued to throw practice pitches.

As a result, Weseloh came to bat with a 3-0 count. She walked on the next pitch and advanced to third on Hannah En-dicott’s blast off the cen-ter field wall for a dou-ble. Endicott narrowly missed a home run.

Weseloh scored on Thompson’s sacrifice fly to right field, although that play also nearly wound up as a disaster. Weseloh was several feet off the base when the ball was caught, and

had to retreat to tag up before reaching home.

She still scored easily.The time between

innings has been an ongoing issue. While Coons benefited from the umpire’s ruling, it’s one that has him concerned.

“They just give you so much time to get your pitchers warmed up,” he said. “It’s not like in baseball, which takes forever.”

Weseloh surrendered 12 hits, while striking out four and walking five.

“Mackenzie fought through it, but she didn’t have her change-up working today,” Coons said.

Endicott led the Fil-lies offense with a sin-gle and double. Thomp-son also had a double, while Weseloh, Ashlie Shields, Holly Schomak-er and Katie Shields all had singles.

The loss marked the end of Thompson’s, Scho-maker’s, Caitlyn Cal-laway’s and Tessa Rowe’s high school careers.

Senior Libby Shay did not suit up after reinjur-ing her knee in practice last week. Callaway, meanwhile, was side-lined the past two weeks because of a foot injury.

Coons praised Thompson’s progres-sion as a hitter and not-ed Rowe, Callaway and

Schomaker all played pivotal roles for the Fil-lies at various points of the season.

“‘They’re just a good group of kids,” he said.

PARSONS’ run in the regional playoffs ended later Monday with a 15-0 defeat at the hands of top seed Frontenac. In other action, Baxter Springs thumped Cha-nute, 10-2, Fort Scott downed Pittsburg, 6-0, and Girard blanked Columbus, 2-0. Fron-tenac will play Baxter Springs and Fort Scott and Girard will play each other in the semi-final rounds in Chanute Wednesday.

the 18th hole, Kerr said.“The course is so long,

and the pace so slow that golfers could go back and forth and visit with groups around them,” Kerr said. “Everybody was well aware of where they were on the leader board.”

In other scores, Iola’s Drake Dieker finished in a tie for 23rd with an 87. Adam Peterson finished in a tie for 30th with a 91. Matt Jacobs shot a 95 for 44th. Weston Hines shot a 97, good for 47th.

Iola travels to Cheney for Monday’s state tour-nament. The Mustangs have a friendly face to help them scout the ter-rain. Former IHS Prin-

cipal David Grover is su-perintendent of schools in Cheney and his son, Isaiah, is a member of the Cheney High School golf team.

And, like they did to great success at region-als, Iola’s squad will head to Cheney a day earlier for a practice round.

“Our goal is to get a top five score,” Kerr said. “Collegiate is going to be

tough, as is Paola, and that’s not counting the Kansas City schools.”

before advancing to third on the catcher’s throwing error. That led to Barclay’s RBI ground ball.

Ashmore’s second two-run double of the game started the scor-ing in the third. Trent Latta and Barclay fol-lowed with RBI singles, giving Iola a 12-3 lead. Latta’s single an inning later scored Faulhaber to push the lead to 13-3.

The Bulldogs pushed across a run to cut the gap to 13-4, extending the game to the bot-tom of the fifth, where

Weir walked and Bar-clay singled, leading to Clubine’s game-ending hit.

Barclay overcame a ragged start, allowing two hits, two walks and two hit batters to go with three strikeouts in three innings. Faulha-ber pitched the final two innings, allowing two hits and three walks in two innings, with three strikeouts.

Offensively, Barclay had three hits and Ash-more had four RBIs, courtesy of his two doubles. Latta singled twice, as did Faulhaber.

Heffern and Morrison each had singles.

“Aaron did a nice job bouncing back after his tough start,” Percy said. “He just didn’t have his best stuff today. We were happy he gave us three innings.”

Iola (16-0) advances to take on fourth seed Paola, which edged Cha-nute 1-0 in eight innings of their opener. First pitch for the Mustang-Panther matchup in the regional semifinal is at 2 p.m. Thursday in Garnett. The winner ad-vances to the champion-ship game that night.

“I haven’t seen Paola play, but from what I’ve heard, they’re pretty good,” Percy said. “We’re going to have to bring it.”

Anderson County qualified to play Iola courtesy of its 17-14 slug-fest victory over Prairie View in a play-in game.

In other first-round action, second seed Ottawa cruised past Osawatomie, 11-1, and Fort Scott blanked Lou-isburg, 4-0. Those two schools will play each other Thursday in the other semifinal.

ton edged Galena in the other first round con-test. Jayhawk-Linn re-ceived a bye.

The championship game is tonight at about 6:30, depending on when the earlier games conclude.

Humboldt secured the win by piecing to-gether rallies in the first, third, fourth and fifth innings.

“We only had two strikeouts,” Humboldt coach Brad Piley said. “We put the ball in play a lot, but right to their defense.”

Humboldt didn’t need much offense. The Lady Cubs’ Courtney Richey

shut out Colgan on two hits and one walk with eight strikeouts.

“Courtney had an-other great night in the circle,” Piley said. “We also had a lot of great plays on defense.”

Richey aided her own cause with a single and triple with two RBIs. Breanna Kline had a run-scoring triple. Kas-ey Beeman had a double and RBI. Megan Hudlin singled.

Bagworms are a year-ly pest in our area and can cause considerable damage. Most homeown-ers typically don’t get too concerned about bag-worm control until they see large bags present on plants. By then it is too late and the damage is already done. The time to control bagworms is nearing, so be prepared.

Bagworms overwinter as eggs deposited in the female bags. From mid-May through mid-June, larvae hatch from the eggs and exit from the bottom opening of the old bag. Larvae begin constructing their min-iature silk-lined bags immediately. Only after the bags have been com-pleted do the larvae be-gin actual feeding activi-ties. As the larvae grow, so do their bags. By mid-to-late August, when feeding activities are complete, larvae firmly anchor their bags to the twigs and branches on which they were feeding.

Bagworms are most commonly found on eastern red cedar and junipers. However, bag-worms can attack arbor-vitae, spruce and pine. Broadleaf trees, shrubs and ornamentals can also serve as a host to bagworms. After bag-worms have defoliated a host plant, they are capable of migrating in search of additional food sources. They may attack the same species from which they came or a completely different species.

The damage caused by bagworm feeding can be minimal to severe. As larvae enter their later development stages, they require greater amounts of food. Sometimes in what seems to be just overnight, bagworms can completely defoli-ate a tree. Several suc-cessive years of heavy foliar feeding can result in the death a tree, espe-

cially with conifers. There are two ways

to control bagworms – cultural and chemi-cal. Cultural practice is used by those who do not want to utilize insec-ticidal sprays to control bagworms. Instead, bag-worms are eliminated by handpicking individual bags from plants. This is best done in the win-ter months when bags stand out against a tree’s background color. Keep in mind that a single missed bag could result in a thousand new bag-worm larvae. Of course handpicking becomes impractical when a host is literally covered with bags or it is too tall to make handpicking pos-sible.

Chemical control is most effective when lar-vae are in their early developmental stages.

Generally, bagworm lar-vae will begin emerging from the overwintering bag by mid-to late May. Hatching does not hap-pen overnight. Instead, hatching can continue for 4 to 5 weeks. I rec-ommend applying two applications. The first spray should be applied during the last week of May through the first week of June to target those larvae hatched early in the cycle. Now is the time to find the cor-rect insecticide and get the sprayers prepared for the job ahead.

Insecticides common-ly used for controlling bagworms include spi-nosad (Conserve, Ferti-lome Borer, Bagworm, Leafminer & Tent Cat-erpillar Spray, Captain Jack’s DeadBug Brew), acephate (Acephate, Orthene), cyfluthrin (Tempo, Bayer Multi-InsectKiller) and perme-thrin (numerous trade names). Also, products containing Bacillus thuringiensis are effec-tive when used against bagworm larvae while they are still small. Con-trols applied in August are often a waste of time and expense because the larvae are large, tough and may have stopped feeding. Thorough spray coverage to foliage is es-sential for controlling bagworms.

Bagworms are on the wayRecently, I attended

a science night in Cha-nute for elementary stu-dents with my coworker Krista. At our table, we displayed a project that youth can participate in throughout 4-H, ento-mology.

We were a big hit.I talked a little with

each family as they waited to check out the box of bugs. First, I asked if they were fa-miliar with 4-H. Many had not heard of 4-H before, so I told them some key information about the organization and provided them with a brochure. I had a few parents say they were members of 4-H, but really hadn’t thought about getting their kids involved. I encouraged everyone to do some re-search on 4-H and con-sider it.

4-H has some awe-some opportunities available to youth. There are numerous projects of every kind for youth to be a part of, not “just cows and cook-ies.” And, you don’t have to live on a farm or in the country to be a member. There are hundreds of kids who are involved in 4-H pro-grams in the inner city.

4-Hers engage in hands-on learning activities in the areas of science, citizenship and healthy living.

4-H helps young peo-ple excel beyond their peers. Tufts University has research to back this statement: The 4-H Study of Positive Youth Development. According to the re-search, 4-H youth make healthier choices by showing significantly lower drug, alcohol and cigarette use than their peers. They excel in school and the sciences with reports of better grades, higher levels of academic competence and an elevated level of engagement at school.

4-H’ers receive lots of support. With 540,000 volunteers, 3,500 profes-sionals, and more than 60 million alumni, 4-H supports young people from elementary school through high school with programs de-

signed to shape future leaders and innovators. The caring support of adult volunteers and mentors inspires young people in 4-H to work collaboratively, take the lead on their own proj-ects and set and achieve goals with confidence. 4-H’ers chart their own course, explore impor-tant issues and define their place in the world.

4-H produces produc-tive citizens. Did you know that 4-H youth are 3.4 times more likely to actively con-tribute to their commu-nities when compared to youth who do not participate in 4-H? It’s true. Young people in 4-H are committed to improving their com-munities and learn this by doing community service work within their clubs and caring adults.

These pivotal experi-ences build a founda-tion of leadership and skills for success in their future careers. If you would like to know more information re-garding 4-H, you may contact me or check out Kansas 4-H on the web at www.kansas4h.org. The new 4-H year begins Oct. 1.

The legendary Tri-State tornado of 1925 provides the backdrop for the novel “Fall-ing to Earth” by Kate Southwood. The town of Marah, Ill., is pretty much leveled.

The only family left unscathed is that of Paul Graves, which suffers not even a bro-ken window or a chair out of place. Their lumberyard is also in-tact. This allows the author to explore such questions as fate, guilt, jealousy, and whether people deserve the evil or good fortune which befall them. Formerly pillars of the commu-nity, and generous with their fellow townspeo-ple in the wake of the tornado, the Graves family nevertheless faces other people’s re-sentment and, indeed, become pariahs.

MANY COZY mys-tery readers have dis-covered and loved the “Tea Shop Mystery” series by Laura Childs. The books feature Theodosia Browning, owner of the Indigo Tea Shop and ama-teur sleuth. Each book features teas and reci-pes as well as a mys-tery. The latest in the series is “Sweet Tea Revenge,” in which Theodosia discovers the dead body of a friend’s fiancé. Is the murder related to the illegal Cuban cigars the prospective groom was selling in his cigar shop? Where does the

angry ex-wife fit in? Theodosia gets to the bottom of it, as usual.

MANY PEOPLE are familiar with the iconic Depression-era photograph of a young migrant mother perched along the side of the road, worry on her face and two young children lean-ing on her shoulders. This photograph is the inspiration for the novel “Mary Coin” by Marisa Silver.

The storyline ties to-gether the struggles of the mother, the photog-rapher who made the choice to leave her own children behind to pur-sue her career and the current-day professor who discovers a family mystery embedded in the photograph.

EDWARD Ruther-ford is known for writ-ing sweeping histori-cal novels mixing both fictional and historical characters and based on a certain location, much as James Mi-chener did in an ear-lier time. His latest is Paris, which runs from the building of Notre Dame through the Nazi occupation and into the student unrest of

the 1960s. Other Ruth-erford books available at the library include Russka (about Rus-sia), London, and The Princes of Ireland.

WE’VE HAD 43 presidents, but of the ones who served be-fore your lifetime, or at least before you came to political awareness, how many of them do you really know much about? If you’re like most people, perhaps only about half a doz-en. In “The Forgotten Presidents,” Michael Gerhardt selects 13 presidents who are now (mostly) little more than names to most people. These are presidents whom Gerhardt believes left a significant constitu-tional legacy (not nec-essarily a good one), even though most of them are considered political failures. Mar-tin Van Buren reduced the federal role in the economy and consoli-dated his power to act independently as pres-ident. Zachary Tay-lor, although a Whig, helped bury the Whig conception of the presidency as a weak minister, and his ac-tions served as a model for Abraham Lincoln. Franklin Pierce’s ag-gressive attempts to force Kansas Territory to accept a pro-slavery Constitution helped lead to the Civil War. The most recent presi-dent he includes is Jimmy Carter.

— With marriages to be available for Minne-sota’s gay couples start-ing Aug. 1, Duluth resi-dents Gary Anderson and Gary Boelhower are getting ready to do some-thing that seemed impos-sible when they started dating three years ago: plan a wedding.

“The plan is to do it in August, definitely,” Boelhower said Monday, shortly after Minne-sota’s Legislature took its final vote in favor of legalizing gay marriage. Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton has pledged to sign the bill, and is scheduled to do so at 5 p.m. today on the front steps of the Capitol in St. Paul.

“It means the abil-ity to have our love and commitment recognized publicly,” Boelhower said. “To me, that’s what it’s most about.”

Minnesota is set to become the first state in the Midwest to le-galize gay marriage by legislative vote, and the third nationwide in just 10 days, joining Rhode Island and Delaware. Thousands of gay mar-riage supporters throng-ing the Capitol erupted into deafening cheers after the Senate’s 37-30 vote; the House passed it last week on a 75-59 vote.

“Members, God made

gays,” Sen. Ron Latz, a Democrat from a sub-urb of Minneapolis, said during the Senate’s emo-tional four-hour debate. “And God made gays capable of loving other people. So who are we to quarrel with God’s in-tentions?”

The gay marriage is-sue shifted quickly in Minnesota, with the Legislature’s vote com-ing a little more than six months after voters defeated an amendment that would have banned gay marriage in the state constitution. The groups that led the campaign against the amendment swiftly turned to push-ing for legalizing same-sex marriage, an effort aided when Democrats captured full control of state government in No-

vember.Only one Republican

senator, Branden Peters-en of suburban Andover, voted for the bill. Three Democrats from rural districts voted against it.

Republican opponents said the bill alters a cen-turies-old understand-ing of marriage as a societal building block that benefits children.

“Forcing others to give you your rights will nev-er end well,” said Sen. Dan Hall, a Republican and a pastor. “It won’t give you the recognition you desire.”

Hall said gay mar-riage supporters have told him he’s on the wrong side of history but, he said, “the truth is I’m more concerned about being on the right side of eternity.”

Senator Scott Dibble of Minneapolis blows a kiss to his husband Richard Leyva from the Senate floor. The Minnesota Senate voted 37-30 to legal-ize same-sex marriage.

Kansas Senate debating $202M bonds for NBAF

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Kansas Senate plans to debate Gov. Sam Brownback’s proposal to authorize an additional $202 million for a new, national biodefense lab.

Brownback has said the measure on today’s agenda in the Senate will fulfill the state’s com-mitment to fund part of the cost of the National Bio- and Agro-Defense Facility at Kansas State University.

The new lab would research dangerous ani-mal diseases and replac-ing an aging facility on Plum Island, N.Y. But its projected cost has more than doubled to $1.15 bil-lion since Kansas landed the project in 2009.

Kansas already has authorized $105 million in bonds for the lab, but President Barack Obama’s latest budget proposal includes $714 million for the project.

State officials pursued the project because it promises more than 300 high-paying jobs.

Over half of wheat showing freeze damage

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A new government report says just under half the Kansas winter wheat crop shows no damage from the hard freezes that hit the state in April.

But Kansas Agricul-tural Statistics Service also reported Monday the wheat is running about three weeks be-hind normal develop-ment amid unseasonably cool spring tempera-

tures. The agency rated the crop as 21 percent very poor, 20 percent poor, 31 percent fair, 25 percent good and 3 per-cent excellent.

Farmers took advan-tage of a few dry days last week to plant and prepare fields, although they’re getting a late start.

Corn planting is run-ning well behind aver-age at only 31 percent complete. Plantings of sorghum, soybeans and cotton were all only 1 percent completed.

Pasture conditions re-main poor to very poor across 60 percent of Kan-sas.

Common Core critics to speak

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Critics of the Kansas Board of Education’s de-cision to adopt the Com-mon Core Standards for math and reading are preparing to voice their concerns to the panel.

The objections were expected to be raised today at the board’s monthly meeting.

Kansas is among 46 states that have adopted the Common Core Stan-dards, which set out the academic expectations for students from kin-dergarten through high school. Kansas adopted the standards in 2010 and school districts have begun implementing them in the classrooms and training teachers.

Critics argue that Common Core is too ex-pensive and gives up lo-cal districts’ control over education standards to a national consortium.

Supporters say the standards will increase academic rigor.

Beechcraft gets $210M contract

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A unit of Beechcraft Corp. says production will begin this month in Wichita on 35 training aircraft for the military.

Beechcraft Defense Co. on Monday an-nounced the signing of a $210 million contract with the Air Force, un-der the government’s Joint Primary Aircraft Training System pro-curement contract.

The contract includes 33 T-6 aircraft for the Navy and two for the Army. It also has an op-tion for two more of the planes.

Beechcraft Defense said the latest contract is the 19th order for T-6 training planes from the military since the joint procurement program began in the late 1990s.

Dole Institute plans birthday

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — The Dole Insti-tute of Politics is plan-ning to celebrate for-mer U.S. Sen. Bob Dole’s 90th birthday as part of its lineup of summer events.

The Lawrence Jour-nal World reports that other activities include an in-depth look at the Battle of Gettysburg. Director Bill Lacy says that on June 20, the cen-ter will bring in a panel of historians and mili-tary experts to mark the 150th anniversary of the three-day battle.

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 five-star puzzle.

Public notice

Dear Tom and Ray:I read somewhere

that you started out with a garage that people could go to and work on their own cars. I’ve often thought that I would like to start a shade-tree garage where people like my-self, who live in apart-ments, could go to fix their cars and hang out with other like-minded car guys. Any sugges-tions for where I should start? I’ve been look-ing for a garage to rent, but I could use any tips you can lend. Thanks. -- John

TOM: Well, John, first collect a great big pile of money. Then, if you don’t want to spend the time actually start-ing your own do-it-your-self garage, just throw a match on it.

RAY: We thought this was a great idea, too, back in the day. We saw ourselves stand-ing around in white lab coats, rocking back and forth on our heels, while all around us peo-

ple rented our space and our tools and worked on their cars.

TOM: Then, accord-ing to the plan, we’d simply roll the wheel-barrows full of money out the door every night and close up.

RAY: It didn’t work out that way. It just wasn’t a sustainable business idea for us, and that was in the era before massive com-puterization, when the average guy could actu-ally fix his car.

TOM: So I think you should approach this as more of a hobby idea. Start by using Face-book or the Internet to try to identify people in your area who would be interested in tinker-ing with their cars and hanging out if a facility were available.

RAY: I’d think of it more as a club. You can call it the Rusted Nuts Club. On second thought, make it the Rusted Bolts Club. Then you can brainstorm with your new friends about finding a place you can use once a week or once a month.

TOM: Maybe some-one has an outbuilding you guys could use. Or maybe someone knows a guy with a garage who’d be willing to rent it out to you in the eve-ning, when his shop is closed. Of course, you’d have to solve the liability issue, because no insurance company in its right mind would insure this guy’s shop if it included a gang of beer-drinking tinkerers who came in at night to play with the lifts and the acetylene torch.

RAY: If that doesn’t work out, the armed forces maintain “Hobby Shops” on bases around the country where its active and retired per-sonnel can work on

their cars.TOM: Of course, get-

ting access to those shops requires a four-year commitment. But that might be less time than it’d take you to pay off the debt you’d run up by outfitting a garage that fails. Good luck, John!
