The IOLA REGISTER

Vol. 115, No.147 75 Cents Iola, KS

By STEVEN [email protected] and better is the

name of the game for this year’s Charley Melvin Mad Bomber Run for You Life.

Registration is currently under way for the event and David Toland, executive direc-tor for Thrive Allen County — a co-sponsor of the event with Allen County Crime Stoppers — said they are already “well-ahead of last year’s registra-tion,” about 70 so far.

This is the fifth year for the 5K run/walk, which started with about 400 participants. It has grown by about 200 every year, and Toland said he hopes to see 1,200 people for this year’s event.

Participation isn’t the only thing that has been growing, however.

“We have tried new things

every year,” Toland said. “And this year is no exception.”

Toland said a “more adult-friendly” carnival will be on tap, including live music start-ing at 11 p.m., a mechanical bull and a rock climbing wall.

Toland said he expects the Parade of Lights, which had 18 entries last year, will ex-pand as well.

“We’d like to have at least 30 entries in the parade,” he said.

The only stipulation for the parade is that entries must be illuminated in some fashion. Groups or individuals may register for the parade at the Thrive office, or by calling 365-8128.

Of course, with a greater size comes greater responsi-bility.

“We are working really hard on logistics to keep our runners and walkers safe,” Toland said. This will include more volunteers on the course to direct, inform and monitor participants.

Iola Police Officer Mike Ford, coordinator with Crime Stoppers, said his team works from 8 a.m. until around 4 a.m. the day of the race. They will assist on the course and logis-tically.

“It’s a long day,” he said. Ford is in charge of regis-

HUMBOLDT — K.B. Criss hovered in the background of a classroom at Minden, Ill., earlier this year, soaking up what he called “phenomenal advantages of digital educa-tion.”

Students in the class were taking a test on a laptop computer. Their answers ap-peared on a terminal moni-tored by the teacher.

Once the exercise was com-pleted, the teacher appraised the results and noted a ques-tion that puzzled a multitude

of students.“She immediately retaught

that information, didn’t have to wait until the next day,” he recalled.

That experience in large measure is why Criss, super-intendent of USD 258 schools, is eager for next fall, when all students K-12 will be taught using digital-only methods. Textbooks will be a thing of the past. Teachers will pre-pare lesson plans by com-puter to be interactively ac-cessed by students.

Each student in grades 4 through 12 will be issued lap-

top computers, which they may take home. Students in grades K-3 will use iPads dis-persed each day.

The new curriculum will be enhanced by videos and animations, as well as lessons with digital resources from around the globe and imme-diate feedback to reinforce the work of classroom teach-ers, Criss said.

“THIS IS something we’ve been looking at the past two years,” Criss said, noting the Humboldt district will be the

I wish I could tell each of you this individually and in person. It is with some sadness and some excitement that I tell you that I have been offered and accepted a job at FSCC.

While I am happy to start the next chapter in life, I will forever hold my extended family and friends of Shear Talent in my heart. Also, I am happy to announce that Michelle Houston is stepping in and will be at the same phone number and address.

It has been a wonderful journey since July 1995, without each of you this would not have been possible.

fourth in the nation to partner with Pearson, a global education com-pany that provides USD 258’s PowerSchool pro-gramming, a means of tracking student infor-mation.

Pearson 1:1 Learning is the framework that will be used in the class-room.

“Lots of textbook com-panies have DVDs, but they aren’t interactive,” he said. “We wanted the interactive advantage,” both for students in the learning process and for teachers in course preparation, grading and analysis of student progress.

First exposure for Criss was in a pilot proj-ect Pearson started in cooperation with a dis-trict in North Carolina. He visited there, the Minden school and also a school in Huntsville, Ala., giving him full view of what digital edu-cation could bring to the classroom.

Each visit left Criss more convinced that replacing conventional textbooks and work-books with laptop com-puters was the better avenue to educational opportunities.

“I think what we can accomplish will be phe-nomenal,” Criss said, without a hint of hy-perbole. “Education is all about getting better every day, and this will permit us to get better

than we would with text-books.”

He also thinks digi-tal learning will give students a leg up in the state’s transition to new college and career readi-ness standards, designed

to prepare students ei-ther to go on to college or join the work force.

“We’re all excited — teachers and adminis-trators — but it is not going to be easy” to go from traditional learn-ing methods to the high-er tech approach, Criss said. “We will have to work to learn the mate-rials and the programs.

“Eventually, though, it will give teachers more time to teach, by them not having to spend so much time with pa-perwork,” as well as open new classroom approaches, he said. “They won’t be up until 2 a.m. grading papers. Grades will be recorded as quickly as students complete assignments and tests.

“The bottom line is it promotes student growth.”

The district wants parents to be closely in-

volved in the transition to digital education.

Criss said parent ori-entation meetings would be at each school before the fall semester starts to provide a full briefing on how the new digital

resources will work and how to help their chil-dren take advantage. Special parent nights will be scheduled as of-ten as needed to answer questions and make sure parents are knowledge-able about how their children are learning.

Laptops, loaded with digital curriculum, will be available for pickup in August.

Students will have access to an academic support lab and media center hours will be ex-tended to provide before and after-school access.

“We are developing our media centers into places where students can come and collabo-rate with other students or study quietly by them-selves,” Criss said.

THE SEA CHANGE in instruction won’t come on the cheap, but when compared to the cost of

textbooks and conven-tional materials, the cost won’t be overwhelming.

The contract with Pearson will have the district pay $134,000 a year for software and professional develop-ment for curriculum and programs for six years, and then $65,000 a year thereafter.

The district will pur-chase 550 HP Ultrabook laptops, including 50 for teachers, for $127,000. The district already has enough iPads for the lower grades.

Laptops are expected to last four years, before they are traded out or re-quire upgrades.

Their cost will be off-set by $85,000 budgeted annually for technology and another $50,000 set aside each year for text-books. Criss said money in general, federal title and technology funds will be tapped, and that grant proceeds were an-ticipated.

Expense of accom-plishing the changeover will be frontloaded, and eventually, with lap-top replacement much less frequent than text-books, Criss thinks the financial aspect will be a wash.

Not so with educa-tional excellence in the district, which he is con-vinced with be on the rise from the first day of the fall semester when the digital age encom-passes the district from stem to stern.

tration for the event, which is the largest fundraiser of the year for Crime Stoppers.

Thrive and Crime Stoppers members have been meeting each week since Janu-ary to get this year’s race organized.

This year’s festivi-ties begin at 5 p.m. on July 12 and run into the early-morning hours on July 13.

Ford said his group has been involved ever since they came up with the idea for the run, and came to co-sponsor the event with Thrive.

“Charley Melvin has always kind of in-trigued me,” Ford said.

THE “ODDBALL” event has become a staple in Iola, Toland said, and has done nothing but get the community’s name out in the public.

“It’s one piece of the puzzle of how to make Iola and Allen County not only destinations for people, but a place to live,” he said.

Portions of every registration will go to the Boston One Fund, which benefits vic-tims of April’s Boston Marathon terrorist at-tacks.

Toland said people have asked whether the name of the lo-cal event — The Mad Bomber — will be changed, due to the nature of its subject. He said there are not plans to do so, because it would only amplify the effect of those who would harm others.

“Charley Melvin (who bombed saloons in the early 1900s, in an act of protest against the consump-tion of alcohol) wasn’t out there to kill peo-ple,” Toland said. “It bends destruction into something that can be positive, changing the name would send the wrong message.”

He said people in the community have ex-pressed their support of keeping the name of the event as is.

TOLAND said the Charley Melvin is the largest 5K in the 17 southeast Kansas counties, and one of the largest in the state. The aim is to keep it that way.

“We want this to continue to grow and draw people to Iola,” Toland said.

The early regis-tration for the run and walk is ongo-ing through June 30. Adults are $20 and youth (17 and under) are $12 for the run. 3K walkers are $12 each. From July 1 to July 12, prices go up to $25 and $15, respectively, for the run and $15 for the walkers. Par-ticipants may regis-ter online as well, at madbomberrun.com. Toland said Thrive has utilized a new registration system for easier online ap-plications.

With registration comes a T-shirt.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Kansas Legis-lature has approved a bill that makes several changes in alcohol laws.

The bill allows alco-hol tastings at events put on by nonprofit groups to support the arts. It also will per-mit hotels to distrib-ute drink coupons for use on site or at cer-tain licensed clubs, and allows the sale of 64-ounce pitchers of mixed drinks.

The House approved the bill Wednesday, af-

ter the Senate approved it last week. It now goes to Gov. Sam Brown-back.

Nonprofit groups and hotels who pro-vide alcohol tastings or drink coupons will be required to pay the amount of tax the drinks would have ac-crued if sold.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reported the bill also requires that every administrative notice or fine must be settled within 90 days of issuance.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

No structure in the path of Monday’s mile-wide tor-nado in Moore, Okla., was left standing.

To a one, every home, commercial and public building, was wrested from its mooring and flattened.

Where the Plaza Towers Elementary School once stood is now “sticks and bricks,” according to Okla-homa Gov. Mary Fallin. “No school. Just debris.” Seven of its students were found dead, buried beneath mountains of rubble.

Once able to emerge from the shock, people are begin-ning to take stock of Moore, a bustling city of 55,000, just south of Oklahoma City.

It’s not the first time di-saster has visited. In 1999, another twister wreaked havoc, killing 41.

Immediately, city offi-cials applied for $12 million in state and federal grants to subsidize the construc-tion of safe rooms in public buildings. The demolished Kelly Elementary School was rebuilt with a metal safe room. But once the des-ignated money was used up and life got back to normal, the sense of emergency quickly faded.

Today only 10 percent of the homes in Moore have an underground cellar, basement or safe room of some sort.

Plaza Towers, circa 1966, wasn’t required by law to have an underground shel-ter or safe room and had no protection to offer other than its old, brick walls.

That the town sports a $5 million football stadium but lacks any public shelter rankles not a few of its resi-dents, especially now.

TO WITHSTAND a direct hit from the F5 tornado,

adequate shelter would qualify as below ground. Engineers say safe rooms with reinforced concrete walls would have played a “mitigating factor” in the amount of destruc-tion and possibly saving of lives. It’s estimated 100 schools in Oklahoma have the safe rooms. They don’t come cheap — an average $600,000 to $1 million to do the job right.

For homes in tornado-prone areas it’s recom-mended they have base-ments or a storm shelter of some sort and their founda-tions be bolted down with metal plates instead of nails.

Trouble is, a basement adds considerably to the cost of a home’s construc-tion while its assessed val-ue is only half that of above ground square footage.

Pre-fabricated shelters, such as those made by Io-la’s D of K Vaults, cost in the neighborhood of $3,000 and fit nicely in a side or back yard.

Oklahoma State Rep. Mark McBride, who repre-sents the Moore area, said Monday’s tornado should restart a discussion on whether public buildings should be required to have storm shelters.

It’s a good bet the fami-lies of the seven children who died in the Plaza Tower wish the discussion would have begun in earnest years ago.

Disasters can strike once, twice, three times over in the very same place.

SO YES, start the talk. And at the very least re-quire new construction of schools to adequately pro-tect their children.

— Susan Lynn

Schools should also be sourcesof shelter

Dear editor,I am writing today (Tuesday)

from the basement of the Com-munity National Bank where a group of residents of Al-len and Neosho counties have gathered to write letters to en-courage Governor Brownback, State Representative Bideau and State Senator Tyson to ac-cept Medicaid expansion for hard-working Kansas families without the benefit and re-sources for health insurance.

Without health insurance these neighbors cannot get quality health care at a local doctor’s office. Instead they avoid and delay treatment, of-ten resulting in serious con-sequences to their health. When finally they cannot put off treatment any longer they usually resort to the one place in our community that can-not turn them away, the ER of our hospital. Emergency room treatment is both the most expensive and least de-sirable place for patients to get routine health care. What they need is a medical home and lasting relationship with their own doctor. This results in better health outcomes, less time sick and a better sense of health and wellbeing, all at a cost far less than emergency room treatment.

Beyond helping our low in-

come working neighbors get quality health care, Medicaid expansion is also vital to our community’s ability to sus-tain our public hospital. Over the past two years our whole community has rallied around building and equipping the new 25-bed critical access hos-pital that presently is being constructed on the edge of town on North Kentucky. We

have voted an increase in sales tax, committed local govern-ment funds and raised funds from private donations for this purpose.

We even created our own community foundation which has raised over $2,000,000 in private donations to equip the new facility. We have done ev-erything and more than could be expected. For many resi-dents it has been the most im-portant civic cause. Medicaid expansion would contribute a source of additional fund-ing that would help us sustain our new hospital over the long term.

Like all hospitals in Kansas,

especially small rural hospi-tals, we looked forward to Med-icaid expansion as a source of funds that would compen-sate us for services that oth-erwise would go uncompen-sated. These funds came at a cost. The Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”) had other pro-visions that took funds away from our hospital. It brought both lower compensation for

Medicare services and a reduc-tion of disproportionate share funds (approximately $500,000 for our hospital) that formerly helped pay for uninsured pa-tients.

If our state declines Medic-aid expansion we will be tak-ing the “bad” and leaving the “good” on the table for other states. With Medicaid expan-sion the ACA is a good deal for our community, without ex-pansion it is a burden. We have gathered in this basement today to ask our state govern-ment to do right by our hospi-tal and community.

John Robertson,Iola, Kan.

Letter to the editor

If our state declines Medicaid expansion we will be taking the “bad” and leaving the “good” on the table for other states.

WASHINGTON — There are various reasons you might not care about the Obama ad-ministration’s spying on jour-nalist James Rosen and label-ing him an “aider and abettor and/or co-conspirator” in an espionage case.

Liberals may not be particu-larly bothered because the tar-geted journalist works for Fox News. Conservatives may not be concerned because of their antipathy toward the news media generally. And the gen-eral public certainly doesn’t have much patience for jour-nalists’ whining.

But here’s why you should care — and why this case, along with the administra-tion’s broad snooping into As-sociated Press phone records, is more serious than the other supposed Obama administra-tion scandals regarding Beng-

hazi and the Internal Revenue Service. The Rosen affair is as flagrant an assault on civil liberties as anything done by George W. Bush’s administra-tion, and it uses technology to silence critics in a way Rich-ard Nixon could only have dreamed of.

To treat a reporter as a crim-inal for doing his job — seek-ing out information the gov-ernment doesn’t want made public — deprives Americans of the First Amendment free-

dom on which all other con-stitutional rights are based. Guns? Privacy? Due process? Equal protection? If you can’t speak out, you can’t defend those rights, either.

BEYOND THAT, the admin-istration’s actions shatter the president’s credibility and discourage allies who would otherwise defend the adminis-tration against bogus accusa-tions such as those involving the Benghazi “talking points.” If the administration is spy-ing on reporters and accusing them of criminality just for asking questions — well, who knows what else this crowd is capable of doing?

When Rosen and I covered the Bush White House togeth-er a decade ago, I knew him as a scrappy reporter who had a fascination with Watergate trivia. He later wrote a sym-pathetic biography of John Mitchell, Nixon’s disgraced attorney general. Now he’s learning just how abusive a Justice Department can be, from an administration that has launched more leak pros-ecutions than all previous ad-ministrations combined.

My Washington Post col-league Ann E. Marimow, who broke the Rosen story, obtained the affidavit by FBI agent Reginald Reyes seek-ing access to Rosen’s private emails. In the affidavit, Reyes stated that “there is probable

cause to believe that the re-porter has committed or is committing a violation” of the law against national security leaks. The affidavit detailed how the FBI had monitored Rosen’s comings and goings from the State Department and tracked his various phone calls with the suspected leak-er, analyst Stephen Jin-Woo Kim.

Rosen’s supposed crime? Reyes got his evidence from an email from the reporter: “I want to report authoritatively, and ahead of my competitors, on new initiatives or shifts in U.S. policy, events on the ground in (North Korea), what intelligence is picking up, etc. ... I’d love to see some internal State Department analyses. ... In short: Let’s break some news, and expose muddle-headed policy when we see it, or force the administration’s hand to go in the right direc-tion, if possible.”

THAT IS INDEED compel-ling evidence — of good jour-nalism.

And how did Rosen commit this crime? Kim told investiga-tors Rosen is a “very convinc-ing, persistent person” who “would tell me I was brilliant and it is possible I succumbed to flattery.”

Only in this Justice Depart-ment could flattery get you a prison term.

President Obama’s spokes-

man, Jay Carney, told report-ers that there must be a “bal-ance” between a free press and leaks that “can endanger the lives of men and women in uniform and other Americans serving overseas.”

True, but the 2009 reports that prompted the probe con-firmed what was already con-ventional wisdom, that Kim Jong Un was likely to replace his father, Kim Jong Il, as North Korea’s leader, and that there were worries that North Korea would respond to new sanctions by launching a third nuclear test. As it happens, the intelligence was wrong, and Pyongyang didn’t launch another test at the time.

Carney told the White House press corps Tuesday that Obama doesn’t think “journalists should be pros-ecuted for doing their jobs” (perhaps he could remind the FBI of that), and the admin-istration has renewed its sup-port for a media shield law (a welcome but suspicious ges-ture, because the White House thwarted a previous attempt to pass the bill).

If Obama really is “a fierce defender of the First Amend-ment,” as his spokesman would have it, he will move quickly to fix this. Otherwise, Obama is establishing an ominous precedent for future leaders whose fondness for the First Amendment may not be so fierce.

Beating the press into submission will backfire

The rich mining his-tory of southeast Kan-sas sets the stage for the “Dig into Reading” summer reading pro-gram at Iola Public Li-brary.

Kickoff is next week when reading groups for all ages can compete for prizes and adventure.

Story times are Tues-days and Wednesdays for different age groups.

On Tuesdays, teens meet from 10:30 a.m. to noon and grades three through five meet from 1:30 to 3 p.m.

On Wednesdays, tod-dlers up through pre-school age meet from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Kin-dergartners through second grade meet from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.

Each session includes reading and activities, said Leah Oswald, chil-dren’s librarian.

The programs are free and require no reg-istration.

Special programs such as “Breakfast and a Book,” for teenagers, require pre-registra-tion, Oswald said. That will be at the Flewhar-ty-Powell Annex behind the library.

Oswald said she’ll talk up the Miners Hall Museum in Arma. The museum’s current ex-hibit, “The Way We

Worked,” is a travelling exhibition sponsored by The Smithsonian In-stitution.

THE SUMMER pro-gram divides readers into those who can read on their own and “read-to-me” readers.

“It’s never too soon to read to a child,” Oswald said.

Children will keep track of their reading by how many pounds of books are read. Reading 17.5 pounds of books will qualify readers to participate in a July 19 pool party at Iola Mu-nicipal Pool.

Reading is as popular as ever, Oswald said.

Current favorites among teens are “any-

thing to do with vam-pires and werewolves,” Oswald said, including the “Hunger Games” series by Suzanne Col-lins and “Beautiful Creatures,” by authors Kami Garcia and Mar-garet Stohl.

For those in elemen-tary school, popular books are the “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” series by Jeff Kinney, the “Dork Diaries” by Rachel Re-nee Russell, and the “Dragonbreath” series by Ursula Vernon.

For toddlers, the “Spot the Dog,” books by Eric Hill are favor-ites as are “Skippy-jon Jones,” by Judy Schachner, and “Llama Llama” books by Anna Dewdney.

Summer reading program kicks off

Hayley Erbert, 18, daughter of Jerry Er-bert of Iola, is headed for the big time. The re-cent graduate of Wash-burn Rural High School in Topeka appeared on the television program “So You Think You Can Dance” Tuesday night.

Her performance won her a spot in the next lev-el of competition in Las Vegas.

Jerry Erbert is a 1980 graduate of Iola High School and is currently stationed in Cleveland, Ohio, where he works testing oil pipelines.

Hayley is one of three of his children.

Hayley plans to attend Chapman University in Los Angeles to study dance, Jerry Erbert said.

“But she may first see where the Las Vegas competition takes her,” he said.

By JOHN HANNAAP Political WriterTOPEKA, Kan. (AP)

— A new legislative proposal to give fa-vored tax treatment in Kansas to grocer-ies failed Wednesday to break a stalemate among top Republican lawmakers on tax is-sues, prompting GOP Gov. Sam Brownback to admonish them pub-licly that they need to finish their business for the year.

Republicans sena-tors floated a proposal to impose a lower sales tax on groceries than on other consumer goods, starting in July. But top House Republi-cans rejected the plan, and negotiations on tax issues between the two chambers broke off until this morning.

Brownback wants to raise additional sales tax revenues to pre-vent budget shortfalls following massive in-dividual income tax cuts enacted last year and to allow Kansas to pursue further in-come tax reductions. But GOP legislative leaders — who share the governor’s goal of eventually phasing out personal income taxes — can’t agree on the sales tax rate.

The latest plan from Republican senators

would have set the sales tax on groceries at 5.7 percent while taxing other items at 6.25 percent, starting in July. The current 6.3 percent rate is sched-uled by law to fall to 5.7 percent then.

Republican leaders had promised the Leg-islature would meet this year for 80 days, trimming 10 days off the normal schedule. But today was the 90th day, and the tax dead-lock threatened to ex-tend the annual session even past that mark.

Brownback said in a statement that legisla-tors had “set the stage for economic growth” with their work on taxes.

But he added, “It is time to wrap up the session.”

Top House Repub-licans have resisted canceling the decrease in the sales tax. It was promised three years ago, when then-Demo-cratic Gov. Mark Par-kinson and legislators boosted the tax to bal-ance the budget.

During negotiations, House Republicans have proposed setting the sales tax at 6 per-cent.

Rep. Richard Carl-son, a St. Marys Repub-lican, and the House’s lead tax negotiator, initially suggested that the new Senate plan showed the talks were leading in a “more pos-itive” direction.

But hours later, he told senators, “We’re pretty far apart.”

Another team of ne-gotiators has agreed on a state budget of roughly $14.5 billion for each of the next two fiscal years, begin-

ning in July. The House would take up the com-promise spending plan first, and its Republi-can leaders want a deal on tax issues first.

The tax negotiators have considered a va-riety of proposals for dropping individual in-come tax rates over the next four years while scaling back income tax deductions as rates drop. They’ve also con-sidered proposals to help stabilize the bud-get by scaling back the state’s standard de-ductions for married couples and heads of households, boosted to $9,000 last year.

The concept of a lower sales tax on gro-ceries — or no sales tax at all — is decades old, and freshman Re-publican legislators floated the idea Tues-day. Many other states don’t impose the sales tax on groceries or, like neighboring Missouri, impose a lower tax.

But House Speaker Ray Merrick, a Stilwell Republican, dismissed GOP senators’ latest proposal.

“When they have a real plan they want to bring over here, I’ll have something to say,” he said.

Senate GOP leaders then made room on the chamber’s agenda Thursday for a possi-ble debate on tax legis-lation, giving them the option of fashioning yet another plan.

“It’s always good to have a Plan B, and we’ve got to break the logjam somehow,” said Senate Majority Leader Terry Bruce, a Hutchinson Republi-can.

Tax debate sputters again

Third-round action contin-ues today at Goose Pond Colo-ny Golf Course in Scottsboro, Ala.

MIAMI (AP) — It could have been the perfect matchup to cap an unfor-gettable game. LeBron James driving to the rim to face Roy Hibbert, one play to decide Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals.

Alas, Hibbert was on the bench for the deciding moment.

And James made Miami’s game-winner seem way too easy.

James blew past Paul George and made a layup as time expired, and the Heat found a way to outlast the

Indiana Pacers 103-102 in a back-and-forth Game 1 of the East title series Wednesday night. There were 18 ties and 17 lead changes, two coming in the final 2.2 seconds, the last on a play that had Hibbert shaking his head in disbelief at his seat 75 feet away from where James beat both the clock and the Pacers in one swoop.

“Once I got the ball,” James said, “I was the only option.”

He finished with his ninth career postseason triple-double — 30 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists — which

might have been easily overlooked on this night. The Heat looked like they had the game won in regulation, before George connected on a tying 3-pointer from 32 feet away with 0.7 seconds left to extend the game. And then the Pac-ers looked like they had stolen Game 1 when George made three free throws for a one-point lead with 2.2 ticks left in overtime.

They simply left James too much time. He caught the inbounds pass from Shane Battier, benefitted from

HUTCHINSON — Allen Community College’s track and field team brought home several top-10 finishes over the weekend at the NJCAA Cham-pionships in Hutchinson.

Leading the way were ACC’s women, led by Terika Henry’s bronze medal in the 400-meter dash. Henry finished in 54.99 seconds. Gabby Ruiz, mean-while, took home fourth in the 10,000-meter run and sixth in the 5000-meter run.

Danae McGee was 10th in the 1500-meter run and sev-enth in the 10,000 meters.

Allen’s 4x800-meter relay team of Josh Whittaker, Evan Adams, Tegan Michael and Tucker Morgan combined to capture third with a time of 7 minutes, 42.69 seconds. Ryan Pulsifer finished eighth in the men’s 10,000 meters, while Bruce Barclay was eighth in the 400-mteter hurdles. Allen’s 4x100-meter relay team of Roderick Simmons, Jethro St. Hubert, Jordan Fountain and Michael Burns combined to get ninth. Burns finished 10th in the triple jump.

Register/Richard LukenMembers of the Iola Blue and Gold Soccer Club compete in a match earlier this season. On Sunday, Iola captured the Leawood Soccer Fest 2013 Tournament championship. Among Blue and Gold’s teammates are, from left, Jeremy Wald-man, Collin Bedell, Chloe Gardner, Jacobee Burtnett, Braden Plumlee and Nolan Jones.

IOLA BLUE AND GOLD IS GOLDEN

Iola Soccer Club wins Leawood tournament titleLEAWOOD — The Iola

Blue and Gold Soccer Club couldn’t have picked a better time to play at its best.

Blue and Gold parlayed its solid play into a tournament championship Saturday and Sunday at the Leawood Soc-cer Fest 2013.

Iola went 3-1 in the 15-and-under tournament, winning first place with a 1-0 win over Blue Valley Sporting.

“It was a phenomenal game by all of the kids,” Iola coach Brek Ulrich said. “It was our best game of the year.”

Zane Beasley scored a goal just minutes into the game, a tally which held up through the contest’s duration.

Sealing the win was goal-keeper Mason Key, who racked up more than 20 saves.

“They were definitely get-ting shots,” Ulrich said.

The victory over Blue Val-ley avenged Blue and Gold’s only loss of the tournament one day earlier.

Iola opened the tourna-ment Saturday by defeating Overland Park Real Madrid 2-1. Braden Plumlee scored

both of Iola’s goals, the last of which broke a 1-1 deadlock just seconds before the match was scheduled to end.

“It was a huge goal,” Ulrich said. “Without it, we probably don’t advance to the champi-onship.”

The second game of the day was a 5-0 loss to Blue Valley. Ulrich noted Iola was without several key play-ers who missed Saturday’s games because of a baseball tournament elsewhere.

Blue and Gold rebounded Sunday morning with a 2-1

win over Gardner-Tri County. Beasley and Plumlee scored Iola’s goals.

The victory put Iola into the championship game, courtesy of its 2-1 pool re-cord.

“This time, we had our full team, and everybody played great,” Ulrich said.

In addition to winning medals, the players were in-vited to play next season in a league featuring teams from Gardner, Osawatomie and La

AP Sports WriterHOUSTON (AP) — James

Shields had another strong start for Kansas City on Wednesday night. Unfortu-nately for Shields and the Royals, the rest of the game was also familiar.

Shields pitched seven sol-id innings, but Kansas City managed just six hits in a 3-1 loss to the Houston Astros.

“It’s a little frustrating,” Royals manager Ned Yost

said. “Especially when James Shields goes out and gives you the type of performance he gives you about every time he goes out. We just have not done a good job with run sup-port with him at all.”

Shields (2-5) struck out seven while yielding two runs and seven hits. He has gone seven or more innings in each of his last six starts, but hasn’t won since April 30 due in part to his offense pro-viding him with just five runs

combined in his last four starts.

“The one thing our lineup is not doing a great job of right now is producing runs,” right fielder Jeff Francoeur said. “That’s something we have talked about that we need to do, and hopefully, we can start doing a better job of that. It seems like once again Shields is the guy that we just can’t give any runs to.”

J.D. Martinez hit a two-run homer in the first, helping

Houston take two of three from Kansas City for its fourth series win this season. Jordan Lyles (2-1) allowed one run and six hits in six in-nings.

Shields, who was acquired in an offseason trade with Tampa Bay, retired his first two batters before running into trouble. Jason Castro singled before Martinez drove a 2-2 pitch into the seats

REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL The Allen County Public W orks Department is requesting proposals for aluminized type II culvert pipe. For details or a spec sheet contact the Public W orks office at 620-365- 1422. Proposal deadline is May 30, 2013 at 10 a.m. Allen County Commission - ers reserve the right to reject any or all proposals. (Published in The Iola Register May 16 & 23, 2013)

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Wichita residents and businesses might be re-quired to pay a $1,000 a month fine if they use too much water.

The city staff made that recommendation as part of a water conser-vation proposal unveiled Wednesday.

The fine would be im-posed on those who use 310 percent more than their average winter wa-ter usage.

Public Works official Ben Nelson said surveys and meetings found that water rates and indoor and business water use were residents’ top pri-orities, while outdoor use was the lowest prior-ity.

The recommendation will go before the Wich-ita City Council June 4.

Wichita is working to respond to low water in Cheney Reservoir, which provides 64 percent of the city’s water. Cur-rently, the reservoir is forecast to go dry in mid-2015.

Wichita may fine residents

FORT RILEY, Kan. (AP) — Leaders of the 1st Infantry Division and Fort Riley will hon-or fallen soldiers during Memorial Day obser-vances at the northeast Kansas post.

Monday’s event will include the laying of a wreath in honor of the soldiers buried at the cemetery near the main post complex.

Maj. Gen. Paul Funk, commander of the 1st Infantry Division, will be joined at the event by Command Sgt. Maj. Miguel Rivera, the se-nior enlisted soldier in the division and at Fort Riley.

Military installations across the country, in-cluding Fort Riley, will have a 21-gun salute at noon, followed by play-ing the National Anthem and raising the flag to full staff.

Fort Riley is home to about 18,000 soldiers of the 1st Infantry Divi-sion.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A federal grand jury has formally charged a former Kansas doctor with illegally having a handgun as a convicted felon.

A three-count indict-ment handed down Wednesday charges Lawrence Simons with unlawful possession of a firearm, ammunition and controlled substanc-es.

Simons was arrested last week on a criminal complaint. Prosecutors said he gave a bondsman a gun as partial payment for bailing him out of jail last month in an unrelat-ed criminal threat case.

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.

Dear Carolyn: I’ve been thinking of asking my girlfriend to marry me, after several years of happy and fulfilled dating.

The other day, for the first time, my girlfriend expressed that she really didn’t like that I work at home. I freelance and re-ally love it. I have a lot saved and I’m in a much better financial place than she is, which gives me a lot of latitude.

She said she couldn’t understand the perspec-tive of someone who didn’t go into an office every day and who didn’t have to bear the burden of working under a boss. She made it clear that she wouldn’t care if I made less money, only that I had somewhere to go in the morning and that I wasn’t my own boss. She then compared me to her former boy-friends, who apparently had more “grit” and who had to work for a pay-check.

As someone who

works at least 50 hours a week, I am really both-ered by the idea that I’m somehow deficient, espe-cially since I’m doing the work I want to be doing and fulfilling a unique career niche.

Her lack of respect for what I do has made me reconsider whether I want to marry her. I defi-nitely feel insulted and misunderstood; is it the sort of thing that can be talked out, or is career disrespect a deal-break-er? — Confused.

Lunkheadedness sure is, or at least ought to be, and that — to my own home-based-careerist mind — underlies her lack of respect.

Undercuts its impor-tance, too: Truly, she’d

prefer that you demote yourself because she loves a man with a big commute? The value of her respect is in free-fall.

Still, those “several years” say she deserves a carefully — if skepti-cally — offered chance. Tell her you’re grateful she said this out loud, because you should be; just imagine if she kept harboring these doubts in silence.

Then, spell out your confusion. “I’m strug-gling to understand. You would like me better if I ended my successful ca-reer and took any new job, as long as I had to leave home, work for somebody else and expe-rience the discomfort of these two things?”

Unless she stunned you into silence with her initial pronouncement, I imagine you did a ver-sion of this already.

If so, then do it again — “I know I’m belabor-ing this .?.?.” — and listen very carefully to the way she responds

now, several days after the fact. Also look hard at your past few years together for context. Think of yourself as your future shrink, pick-ing around for things that were available to you as warning signs about this woman and this relationship.

Do this because, depending on her re-sponse, you might have nothing left to say to her but this: “I can’t date someone who would ask me to change my fulfill-ing life just to meet her arbitrary standards of manhood.” And you’ll want to declare that with confidence that it was never about her saying just one loopy, inexpli-cable thing.

Odd career request causes issues

Dear Dr. Roach: Could you please explain why alcoholics get distended abdomens, and would the disorder reverse itself if someone quit drinking? — J.P.

Answer: Alcohol causes injury to liver cells. The liver has the ability to regenerate. In some people, those with a very long history of alco-hol abuse, the liver loses its ability to regenerate it-self, and develops fibrosis.

If drinking persists, the person develops cir-rhosis. Cirrhosis pre-vents the blood from flow-ing normally through the liver and causes elevated pressure in the portal vein, the major blood ves-sel leading to the liver. The elevated portal vein pressure predisposes the fluid to go into the abdo-men.

The fluid is called as-cites (a-SITE-eez), and its presence causes the kidneys to try to hold on to more salt and wa-ter, which makes things worse.

Quitting drinking helps prevent further damage to the liver and tends to stabilize the liv-

er. Unfortunately, once cirrhosis is established, it is permanent, and the high pressure in the por-tal vein persists. Treat-ment usually includes diuretics to reduce ex-

cess water and salt. In more-severe cases, a pro-cedure called TIPS can reduce the pressure in the portal vein and re-duce swelling.

Many other health

problems come with liver cirrhosis, so in ad-dition to quitting drink-ing, someone with as-cites needs to see his or her doctor for a compre-hensive evaluation.

Dr. KeithRoach

There is no real cure for cirrhosis

Cygne — much like Iola High School joining the Pioneer League.

IOLA ALSO entered a 10-and-under team into a

separate division of Soc-cer Fest.

The squad went 0-3, losing 5-1 to the Leawood Sapphires, 5-2 to the Olathe Lady Panthers and 4-2 to a squad from Kansas City, Mo.

The scores aren’t in-dicative of how well Iola played in the younger division, Ulrich said. In all three games, the de-cisive goals were scored after Ulrich substituted younger players.

“Most of the teams had only 10-year-olds,” he said. “We had some kids as young as 8 out

there.”

THE TOURNAMENT wraps up the spring sea-son for Iola Soccer Club, although Ulrich is con-sidering participating in a summer event or two.

Blue and Gold will host open tryouts in late August for the team’s fall season.

George overplaying him to his left side — James is left-handed, just plays right-hand dominant — drove and released the ball with about four-tenths of a second remaining. By the time the shot dropped softly through the net, the clock showed zeroes.

“He continues to amaze,” Heat guard Dwyane Wade said.

The Pacers had a slightly different per-spective.

“It was gut-wrench-ing,” Hibbert said.

So, too, was the deci-sion that Pacers coach Frank Vogel had to make before the final play.

Vogel calls James the best offensive player in the game. He also calls Hibbert the best rim pro-tector in the game. He likely wouldn’t face much argument on either point.

Vogel’s dilemma was this: Put Hibbert on the floor and risk that he couldn’t cover a pos-sible jumper by Chris Bosh, the Heat center-by-default who is prob-ably the best outside-

shooting big man in the game — or hope the Pacers could get one more stop without him. And remember, Hibbert had one of the signature moments in these playoffs, his great block to deny Carmelo Anthony’s dunk try in Indiana’s clinching sec-ond-round win over the New York Knicks.

Hibbert stayed on the bench. James drove and scored. Second-guessing commenced.

“I would say we would probably have him in next time,” Vo-gel said.

Said James: “You can’t say what would have been different.”

Wade finished with 19 points for the Heat, who got 17 from Bosh and 16 from Chris An-dersen — who was 7 for 7 from the field, and 2 for 2 from the line off the Miami bench. An-dersen is now shooting a ridiculous 29 for 35 in these playoffs, or 83 percent.

George scored 27 points for the Pacers, who got 26 from David West and 19 from Hibbert.
