WARD 4 — HEAD TO HEAD

By BOB [email protected] Zornes said she

would take a measured approach of initially listening and learning if elected to Iola’s city council Tuesday.

But, don’t count on her to hold back too long before joining conversa-tions.

“We may be a small town, but we don’t have to have small ideas,” Zornes said. “I’ve been to a lot of meetings. I’ve found them interesting and I’m excited” to be a part of the process.

Zornes is one of three candidates for two posi-tions from Iola’s Fourth Ward. Others are Steve French, an incumbent, and Jerod Kelley, who

s o u g h t e l e c -tion two y e a r s a g o w h e n I o l a ’ s g o v e r -n a n c e changed to eight council mem-bers and a mayor. The top vote-getter will have a four-year term, second place two years.

While she would ap-proach council partici-pation with a learn-first attitude, Zornes is mak-ing sure voters in the Fourth Ward know she’s eager to win a seat. A number of signs promot-ing her candidacy have sprung up this week and

By BOB [email protected] French wants to

continue to be a sound-ing board and voice for people living in the Fourth Ward.

He is the lone incum-bent in the ward in a race that also includes Sandy Zornes and Jerod Kelley. The candidate who at-tracts the most votes in Tuesday’s election will serve on Iola’s city coun-cil the next four year; the runner-up will serve two years.

“I like to be involved,” said French, which prompted him to run for the council when it became an eight-person body two years ago. “It’s better to be involved than to sit back and ac-

c e p t w h a t h a p -pens.”

H e l i k e s t h e council h av i n g two rep-resentatives from each ward, which “lets us fo-cus on the area where we live, as well as all of the city.”

Looking ahead, French said he would continue to stress atten-tion on Iola’s infrastruc-ture — sidewalks, streets and curbs and gutters.

“It’s vital that we stay on top of the infra-structure. We can’t just keep putting patches on

[email protected] Kelley com-

pares the Iola City Coun-cil and its dynamics to that of a team — a team that he believes he can be a part of.

“It’s a chance to be a leader in the community and make a difference,” Kelley said. “I want my fair and balanced opin-ion to be heard.”

Kelley is running for the Ward Four coun-cil seat against Sandy Zornes and the incum-bent, Steve French. The top vote-getter will serve a four-year term, second will serve two years.

Kelley, 32, a native of Olathe, graduated from the University of Kan-sas with a degree in civil

e n g i -neering in 2004. A f t e r g r a d u -a t i n g , K e l l e y was se-l e c t e d for an associate engineer po-sition with the Kansas Department of Trans-portation office in Iola. He is currently the area construction engineer.

In addition to his engineering work, he serves on the Iola plan-ning commission.

“It’s a great starting point, you get to take on a lot of issues,” he said.

and High schools jazz band students got a taste of play-ing at the college level. The Bowlus Fine Arts Center and the Whitehead Trust brought in Craig Treinen, Washburn University professor of jazz studies, to work with Iola stu-dents.

Treinen was Iola band in-structor Matt Kleopfer’s “for-mer professor, mentor and all around my best friend,” Kleopfer said. “He pushed me harder than anyone ever has.”

The main reason for Trein-en’s visit was to get the stu-dents geared up for the Wash-burn University Coleman Hawkins Jazz Festival April 12. The festival targets middle school and high school bands.

Treinen’s main goal was to teach students the fundamen-tals of playing music and to play musically.

“Playing musically is play-ing under control,” Treinen said. “Listen for the melody.”

Fundamentals are a vi-

tal key to playing music, but Treinen also encouraged stu-dents to play with “no restric-tions and to use your ears.”

Iola Middle School students were enamored with Wednes-day’s lesson.

Trombone player Jerrica Adams said having Treinen in the class was “super glori-ous.”

Alto saxophone player Braden Plumlee said he knows he needs to play louder and practice to get ready for the festival.

“He needs to come back ev-eryday,” Plumlee said.

Adams and Plumlee both intend to continue with music going into college someday.

Trumpet player Lyssa Brooks said she plans to go into the military some day and thoroughly enjoyed Treinen’s visit.

“It always makes for a good day,” Brooks said.

Treinen hopes the students will grow to be advocates for the arts and appreciate every-thing music has to offer and teach.

USD 257 board members were able to knock out a loom-ing concern at Wednesday night’s special meeting. To make up days lost to snow board members decided May 16 would be a regular school day for students, teachers and staff.

May 17 will be a workday for teachers only. For classified staff the remaining missing days will be forgiven.

The decision will require students to attend school one additional day. Originally May 15 was to be the last day of school.

The special meeting was fol-lowed by the second interest-

based bargaining (IBB) nego-tiations session, in which a mediator helps board mem-bers and teachers agree on following year’s items, such as the calendar.

Because the snow days cre-ated such conflict this year the board asked teachers if they would be willing to change next year’s allotted snow day from May 16 to April 18, Good Friday.

Since the last IBB nego-tiations session in February teachers completed a survey on what they’d like to see used the following year. The results came back favoring the calen-dar identical to this past year, but only by a small margin.

The team tentatively agreed to the calendar and with t he April 18 snow day.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas legislators from both parties said they weren’t sur-prised by a national study’s findings that medical claims costs could increase for in-dividual insurance policies under the federal health care overhaul.

But one health care advo-cate said the study from the Society of Actuaries pres-ents only a partial picture of the effects of the 2010 federal health care law championed by President Barack Obama.

The actuaries’ study said Kansas could see an increase of nearly 19 percent by 2017 in the claims costs faced by insurance companies from the state’s individual health insurance market, where people buy coverage directly from insurers. Claims costs are a major driver of premi-ums.

Kansas actually fared well

in the study from the actuar-ies, who assess financial risk and conduct long-range cost estimates for pension plans, insurance companies and government programs. The nationwide claims cost in-crease forecast was nearly 32 percent, and many states’ fig-ures were much higher. Only 11 states had a lower percent-age than Kansas; a 12th, Min-nesota, had the same project-ed increase.

Yet for some Republican critics of the federal law and the Democratic president’s policies, the study provided additional evidence of poten-tial problems created by the

overhaul. And Kansas Sen-ate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, a Topeka Democrat, said the law is likely to im-prove access to health care but didn’t go far enough to control costs.

“We’ve got a long way to go in terms of trying to make health insurance more af-fordable and trying to lower the cost,” Hensley said. “That is, I think, the next step in the debate.”

The actuaries’ study said costs will increase largely be-cause sicker people will join the insurance pool as the law prohibits insurers from turn-ing down people with pre-existing medical problems, starting in January.

Senate President Susan Wagle, a Wichita Republican, said many Kansans believe the federal health care over-haul will increase insurance

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas’ public schools and colleges could allow employees to carry concealed guns under legislation that cleared the state Senate on Wednesday, and gun-rights supporters ex-pected senators to con-sider another proposal next week challenging federal regulation of some firearms.

The Senate voted 35-5 to approve a bill that expands the num-ber of public buildings into which people with concealed-carry per-mits can bring their weapons. The measure includes a provision allowing local school boards, community and technical college boards and state university administrators to des-ignate employees who could carry concealed weapons, even if such firearms are banned from campus buildings.

The provision allow-ing hidden weapons on school employees is a response from the GOP-controlled Legislature — where gun-rights sup-

porters have solid ma-jorities — to the elemen-tary school shooting in Newtown, Conn., in December. The bill’s few

legislative critics ques-tion whether the move will make students safer and say educators aren’t clamoring for it.

The House has al-ready approved a simi-lar measure, and a fi-nal version is likely to emerge from negotia-tions between the two chambers next week.

Earlier this month, House members also approved a separate bill declaring that the federal government has no power to regulate firearms, ammunition and accessories, such as holsters, that are manu-factured, sold and kept in Kansas. The measure also makes it a felony for any employee or agent

of the U.S. government to attempt to enforce any law, regulation, or-der or treaty affecting such items.

A Senate commit-tee endorsed the bill Tuesday, and Majority Leader Terry Bruce, a Hutchinson Republican, said he expects sena-tors to consider it next week, as lawmakers at-tempt to wrap up most of their business for the year. The measure is a response to discussions among federal officials about gun-control mea-sures — and concerns among some firearms owners that the federal government will at-tempt to ban and even confiscate some mili-tary-style weapons.

“What I think’s going to happen is you’re go-ing to see, on this level and others, states rising up against federal over-reach,” said Sen. For-rest Knox, an Altoona Republican and his chamber’s most vocal supporter of gun-rights legislation.

Critics of the bill wor-ry it would lead to un-

necessary conflicts with federal officials and per-haps even an expensive lawsuit.

“The federal gov-ernment has probably regulated firearms for as long as there’s been a federal government, and I don’t know how Kansas is going to some how exempt itself from at least a piece of that regulation,” said House Minority Leader Paul Davis, a Lawrence Dem-ocrat and an attorney. “I think we’re just inviting problems.”

The concealed carry legislation is a response to some state and local officials banning per-mit holders from car-rying their weapons into public buildings by merely posting notices at entrances. Some gun-rights advocates have argued that college and local officials are too quick to ban weapons.

Under the bill, state and local officials couldn’t prohibit con-cealed weapons unless they had electronic equipment and officers to check for weapons.

By SAM KIMAssociated Press

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — In a show of force following weeks of North Korean bluster, the U.S. on today took the unprecedented step of announcing that two of its nuclear-capable B-2 bombers dropped munitions on a South Korean island as part of joint military drills.

The announcement is likely to further enrage Pyongyang, which has already issued a flood of ominous statements to highlight displeasure over the drills and U.N. sanctions over its nucle-ar test last month. But there were signs today that it is willing to go only so far.

A North Korean in-dustrial plant oper-ated with South Korean know-how was running normally, despite the North’s shutdown a day earlier of communica-tion lines ordinarily used to move workers and goods across the

border. At least for the moment, Pyongyang was choosing the factory’s infusion of hard cur-rency over yet another provocation.

U.S. Forces Korea said in a statement that the B-2 stealth bombers flew from a U.S. air base in Missouri and dropped munitions on a South Korean island range be-fore returning home. It was unclear whether America’s stealth bomb-ers were used in past an-nual drills with South Korea, but this is the first time the military has announced their use.

The statement fol-

lows an earlier U.S. an-nouncement that nucle-ar-capable B-52 bombers participated in the joint military drills.

The announcement will likely draw a strong response from Pyong-yang. North Korea sees the military drills as part of a U.S. plot to in-vade and becomes par-ticularly upset about U.S. nuclear activities in the region. Washington and Seoul say the drills are routine and defen-sive.

North Korea has al-ready threatened nucle-ar strikes on Washing-ton and Seoul in recent weeks. It said Wednes-day there was no need for communication in a situation “where a war may break out at any moment.” Earlier this month, it announced that it considers void the armistice that ended the Korean War in 1953.

But Pyongyang would have gone beyond words, possibly damag-ing its own weak financ-es, if it had blocked South Koreans from getting in and out of the Kaesong industrial plant, which produced $470 million worth of goods last year.

South Korean manag-ers at the plant reported no signs of trouble today.

Analysts see a full-blown North Korean at-tack as extremely unlike-ly, though there are fears of a more localized con-flict, such as a naval skir-mish in disputed Yellow Sea waters. Such naval clashes have happened three times since 1999.

DEATH VALLEY NA-TIONAL PARK, Calif. — The first sign says: “Pri-vate Road — Authorized Vehicles Only.” A short distance later, at a locked white gate, another reads: “Borax — Do Not Enter.”

Ahead, less than a mile from Death Valley National Park, is one of the most well-preserved

historic mining camps in America: Ryan, Calif.

Here, for select tour groups, scientists and guests, history comes alive. At a one-room schoolhouse, you can ring a bell that called students to class 90 years ago. Near the dining hall, you can step into a meat locker and, in the thick wooden walls, smell the slabs of beef that fed miners in

the 1920s.In dorm rooms, you can

peer through cracked, tat-tered window shades that have held back the sun for generations. Outside, you walk by rusty ore carts, wheelbarrows, picks, shovels and other relics. Up a steep hill is a rare treasure: a much-weath-ered weather vane once photographed by Ansel Adams.

Four years ago, all of this nearly became part of Death Valley National Park as a gift from Lon-don-based Rio Tinto, the third-largest mining com-pany in the world.

But in a surprising turnabout, Rio Tinto chose instead to give Ryan to an entity it felt could better care for the site: a fledgling nonprofit — the Death Valley Con-servancy — headed by one of the company’s own executives.

Park visitors who long had dreamed of touring Ryan were dismayed. So, too, were park managers.

“I was very disap-pointed,” said J.T. Reyn-olds, a former Death Val-ley superintendent who worked with Rio Tinto in 2007 to make Ryan part of the park. “It would have served many people, many organizations and the best interests of his-toric preservation.”

What’s unfolding here is more than a story

about the curious fate of a remote mining camp in the hottest, driest corner of America. It is part of a wider debate about how best to protect historic re-sources across the West in an era of limited and declining government re-sources.

Already much has been lost. One example lies in-side Death Valley Nation-al Park, where someone has chiseled into a rock wall in an attempt to steal Native American petro-glyphs, defacing the area forever.

In one of the most bra-zen case, thieves used power saws, ladders and generators last year to steal centuries-old petro-glyphs from federal land north of Bishop. Al-though the rock art has been recovered, no ar-rests have been made.

“It’s akin to someone defacing part of the Vati-can or damaging an im-portant artistic piece, like the Mona Lisa,” said Greg Haverstock, an archaeolo-

gist with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. “A few greedy, self-minded individuals destroyed an amazing, finite resource.”

His budget to monitor and protect such sites across 750,000 acres of public land is $52,000 — seven cents an acre. “It is just not a lot of mon-ey,” Haverstock said. “It forces me to seek outside sources of funding.”

Many historic min-ing sites are at risk, too — and that’s one reason Preston Chiaro, presi-dent of the Death Valley Conservancy, cited in ex-plaining why he believes Ryan should remain pri-vate.

“The fact that it’s been in private hands rather than part of the national park has been one of the things that has helped to preserve it,” said Chiaro, Rio Tinto’s group leader for innovation and tech-nology. “There is a proven model here. It works. Why would you want to change it?”

But private ownership of historic treasures also raises questions: Who will have access? Under what conditions? What will it cost? How will tax-deductible contributions be spent?

“Once a site gets into private hands, there is re-ally no control of it,” said Michael Newland, past president of the Society for California Archaeol-ogy. “You are at the good graces of the (owners). Some people are fantas-tic. Some may not be.”

As the donation nears completion, some have asked the conservancy tough questions, in writ-ing, about its budget, management and plans. They have learned little.

“I got one reply to four letters saying they have every right to do with this property whatever they want to do and fur-thermore, they have no time to talk to me,” said Steve Bruce, member of a group called Save Ryan.

The one-room schoolhouse, last used around 1930, and a wooden swingset sit in Ryan, Calif. Less than a mile from Death Valley National Park, Ryan is one of the most well-preserved historic mining camps in America and is seen by select tour groups and scientists to make history come alive.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Holding children back a grade because of lagging performance isn’t a cure-all. For one, it doesn’t solve the issues as to why a child is behind his peers. Sec-ondly, the stigma from be-ing held back doesn’t come without damage.

The Kansas Senate ap-proved a bill Wednesday that could hold back first-graders who are not up to speed in reading. The measure encourages first-grade teachers to inform parents of their children’s lackluster performance and suggest they repeat first grade.

The bill departs from a bill originating in the Kansas House that applies to third-graders, at the sugges-tion of Gov. B r o w n -back.

Sen. Lau-ra Kelly argued for the chang-es, saying by third grade stu-dents were “ r e a d i n g to learn,” and that it would be better to target younger students who were falling behind in their reading skills.

The Senate bill also ex-empts special needs chil-dren and English as a second language classes, where children more likely would be behind their peers in such skills.

The Senate bill gives teachers leeway in the de-cision to recommend hold-ing a student back. Scores alone would not be a deter-mining factor.

OPPONENTS to either measure say grade reten-tion hurts a child in a host of ways, including the so-cial stigma attached.

Another factor to con-sider is a child’s size. If he is on the large side, hold-ing him back a year can be detrimental to the child so-

cially. Oversize kids are big targets for ridicule.

Options to holding a child back a year should include a chance to attend summer school and after-hours tutoring.

Statistics show that chil-dren held back — at any grade — are more likely to drop out of school, accord-ing to Suzanne DeWeese, a reading recovery specialist at Emporia State Universi-ty, in a story with the Kan-sas Health Institute.

“Children who aren’t learning to read need better instruction, not a repeat of a curriculum that’s already failed them,” DeWeese said.

By age 4 to 5, children should be able to write

some let-ters and have a good vocabulary, reading ex-perts say.

By first grade, ages 5 to 6, they s h o u l d be able to read simple books and know about 100 words.

By third grade, they are expected to be able to read indepen-dently and be able to sound out unfamiliar words, sylla-ble by syllable, when read-ing.

WITH THE BILL now go-ing back to the House for reconsideration, attention should be focused on where time, energy and money would best be spent.

So far, legislators are willing to direct $10 million on the remedial program to help elementary school children improve their reading skills.

The money would be bet-ter spent if redirected to early childhood programs that reach children at a more critical time in their developing years.

Better-prepared children make for better students.

Best time to help struggling readersis preschool years

By JOHN KASSChicago Tribune

With the issue of same-sex marriage argued before the Supreme Court and raging elsewhere in America, a ques-tion:

Is it possible to be a tradi-tional Christian or Muslim or Orthodox Jew — and hold to one’s faith on what constitutes marriage — and not be consid-ered a bigot?

And is faith now a problem to be overcome, first marginal-ized by the state and then con-tained, so as not to get in the way of great changes to come?

The issue of same-sex unions is by nature conten-tious and divisive. It is not merely about equal protection under the law, but redefining the foundation of our culture, which is the family itself.

It’s not my intention to add to the anger and the noise. If you’ve followed the news of the crowds outside the Su-preme Court this week, and watched those vicious little boxes within boxes on cable TV, with angry people barking at each other, you’ll get plenty of noise.

I’m not angry. Yet I am struggling. And I’ve been si-lent on the subject for some time, trying to figure it out.

I’m not opposed to same-sex unions. Americans have the right to equal protection under the law, and same-sex

couples should be able to ex-pect the same tax benefits and other considerations allowed to those of us who are now be-ing called, in some quarters, “opposite-sex couples.”

As far as I’m concerned, Americans have the right to do as they please as long as they don’t infringe upon the rights of others. America is all about liberty and freedom.

But this all comes now dur-ing the season of Lent, a time of fasting and prayer, when Christians are compelled to confront the obligations of their faith.

And while I hear the new

moral arguments, about equal rights and equal protection, I’ve read little about the re-ligious freedom aspects and what the Supreme Court’s rul-ing might mean for houses of traditional worship.

All I’m asking is that in the rush to establish new rights, that tolerance for religious freedom be considered as well.

The federal government has already told religious institu-tions that run hospitals that they must provide contracep-tives to their employees, even if it runs counter to their be-liefs.

So now, if the government ultimately compels us to de-scribe same-sex unions as marriage, what’s next?

For centuries now, churches have allowed the state (and by this I mean the government) to license marriage ceremo-nies. It follows then that what is happening in America at present was inevitable long ago.

To speak of faith in this context is to invite the charge of bigotry — if not outright, at least by comparison to angry fire-and-brimstone preachers who seem to use the Bible as a lash. Some wield the Old Testament like a cudgel, and avoid the New Testament, in which Christ asked us to re-frain from judging and to love our neighbor.

No one with half a brain wants to be thought of as a bigot. But that’s what I and others risk as members of a distinct and irritating minori-ty — as traditional Christians in journalism.

It is a world of language and political symbolism, a world where ideas are often framed so that they may lead to inexo-rable conclusions favored by the dominant culture. In this media world, I sometimes won-

der whether the word “sin” has been outlawed by the high priests of journalism for fear of offending one group or an-other. And I’d rather not ask.

Now that the debate has been framed, if I hold to my faith and resist applauding the changes, I’m easily cast as some drooling white cartoon bigot of the Jim Crow era, denying black Americans the right to sit at a lunch coun-ter and have a meal with the white folks.

It’s a cheap construction, yes, thoughtless, yet widely accepted in the news media and therefore effective.

What is also clear is that, given demographic shifts and attitudes, particularly by young people regarding sexu-ality and family, traditional Christianity is no longer the dominant culture.

It is the counterculture, fast becoming a minority view.

Again, I don’t oppose same-sex unions. I think Americans should have the right to associ-ate as they please. My wife and I have had friends and family members who were gay, and died of AIDS. We loved them, and still do.

But I am Greek Orthodox, a never-changing faith, and this is Lent.

In recent weeks, with the advent of a new Roman Catho-lic pope, there have been many beautiful words written about tolerance and change, written by those who on one hand sup-port abortion rights and gay marriage, yet on the other talk lovingly of the comforting an-cient rituals and the sound of ancient prayers.

Forgive me, but I find this all quite difficult to reconcile. The liturgy is not a costume drama. The incense isn’t a prop. The singing isn’t about nostalgia. These are means to reach a timeless place, where the state and its laws do not go.

And while I struggle with the fast-moving issue of the redefinition of marriage and its effect on our culture and how to reconcile the rights of others and my own religious beliefs, I ask only one thing:

Tolerance.Remember that word? Tol-

erance?Tolerance for those whose

faith and traditional beliefs put them in what is fast be-coming the minority.

Christian asks for tolerance in debate

Students attending postsec-ondary institutions in Kansas fall into two categories: Those who pay in-state tuition and those who pay out-of-state rates. The difference is sig-nificant. In-state rates are less than half what the non-resi-dent pays.

In 2004, the Legislature decided any student who graduated from a Kansas high school and had lived in the state for at least three years qualified for in-state tuition rates — regardless of residency status. Lawmakers then were under the impres-sion it wasn’t fair to punish children with higher tuition merely because their par-ents weren’t legal citizens. The law didn’t benefit a great number of Kansas kids, nor did it raise many objections. The grumbling that did occur dissipated after learning the state wasn’t paying for the students to attend college.

A challenge to the status quo emerged this year, cour-tesy of a state official whose passion appears to make life as difficult as possible for im-migrants. Secretary of State Kris Kobach was the lead sup-

porter of repealing in-state tuition for Kansas students without legal residency.

“I think that is an absurd reverse incentive,” Kobach said during House Bill 2192’s hearing in front of the House Federal and State Affairs Committee. “If you follow the law, we’re charging you three times more.”

Kobach was referring to the fact Regents schools charge out-of-state tuition to students from foreign countries, and those youths need to obtain student visas. The “reverse incentive,” in Kobach’s mind, is that families entering the country illegally get a benefit they don’t deserve.

FIRST OF ALL, this year there are 630 immigrants pay-ing in-state tuition. Of those, more than 500 attend com-munity college. Is Secretary Kobach suggesting families enter the country and live here for three years for the primary purpose of getting discounts on two years’ worth of community college? That is difficult to imagine.

We don’t believe the sec-retary is looking at revenue-

enhancements for the schools, either. If all 630 students were to switch to the higher rate, the incremental dollar gain would be $1.8 million. Of course, assuming those fami-lies merely were gaming the system, they wouldn’t be in Kansas. The loss of those 630 college students would be $3.9 million.

It sounds as if Kobach, whose sideline business is making life difficult for im-migrants around the country, just wanted to stir things up some more in Kansas.

Thankfully, the House com-mittee didn’t bite. No action was taken on the bill.

And at least one lawmaker reframed the conversation in a manner we found refresh-ing. Rep. Ponka-We Victors, D-Wichita and the only Na-tive American serving in the Legislature, offered this: “I think it’s funny, Mr. Kobach, because when you mention il-legal immigrant, I think of all of you.”

We hope this is the last we hear about attempts to punish Kansas teens for the decisions of their parents.

In-state tuition a bargain for Kansas

“I’m going door to door, visiting with people,” she said.

“I have no personal agenda,” Zornes said, but understands that city government is a work in progress — when one project is completed another begs attention, sometimes several at once.

A prominent proj-ect today is proposed merger of Allen County and Iola ambulance ser-vices.

“I feel very confident conflicts are being re-solved and solutions are being formed to serve the citizens of Allen County with the best EMS (emergency medi-cal service) possible,” she said.

“Running for city council is not some-thing I take lightly,” she added. “I am proud of Iola and I feel a respon-sibility to contribute in

a larger way to the com-munity that has been so good to me and my fam-ily.

“It has troubled me to see the fighting and dif-ficulties that have raged over the past couple of years,” she said, reach-ing a head in a recall election. “We need to be working together, as one community, to get Iola moving.”

She listed three pri-orities:

— Supporting busi-ness growth.

— Making sure city government is efficient and transparent.

— Helping provide the best quality of life for residents, especially seniors and kids.

Zornes allowed that Iola had “nice parks, but we can make them better by having them be more family friendly, adding things that ev-eryone in a family can enjoy.”

She lauded sitting council members for completing work on the dog park, one of many amenities that can be an enticement for peo-ple to consider Iola for their home.

She moved to Iola about 25 years ago, and remembers the time well.

“My first memories of our town were made while driving through downtown one night during Christmastime and being so impressed by the Christmas lights and decorations draped over the street on our beautiful square,” Zornes recalled. “It made Iola such a magi-cal and welcoming community on my first night here. And it still is today.”

She and husband Terry own and oper-ate Homeville Vending. They have three grown sons.

on roads. Some need to be rebuilt,” he said.

Case in point: French pointed out Broadway, which his home fronts, was scheduled for a re-build about 20 years ago, but it hasn’t occurred.

“Why is it sitting here, still waiting to be re-built?” he asked. “What will it cost now? We can’t push projects back hop-ing things will get bet-ter.”

French also would like for the city to create an economic development package that’s more than a promise “to give utilities and pour some concrete. We need to come up with something that’s above and beyond what other cities offer if we want businesses to relocate here.

“If our package doesn’t stand out, it won’t work,” he said. “We need to shine above

all others.”

An attraction, he thinks, would come from the city “aggressively funding the police de-partment so it can con-tinue current success it has had in combating drug abuse. It’s impor-tant to stay on top of that problem,” even if it means having to pay officers overtime and arranging to have other agencies help with inves-tigations.

He was born in Iola and spent most of his young years here,

along with some in Mo-ran. Professionally, he worked 6½ years for Al-len County Sheriff Ron Moore as a deputy and in public relations.

“We were doing DARE (drug abuse resis-tance education) before there was DARE,” said French, 52.

For the past 22 years he has been an investiga-tor for the Kansas Board of Healing Arts. He has an office in Topeka and travels the state, but also does much of his work from an office in his Iola home.

Wife Becky is a mas-ter nurse practitioner for Family Physicians and will complete work on a doctorate from the University of Kansas in December. They have four grown sons and five daughters, including one who is a senior at Iola High and a granddaugh-ter they adopted.

and takes any chance he can to hit the links at the Allen County Country Club.

Kelley has two main goals in mind for his potential term with the city council:

— To support Iola’s “most valuable resource, the city employees and staff;

— And to explore op-portunities to help dis-advantaged and low-in-come families in Iola.

He said it is important for a city to embrace a culture of support and communication with its employees. He said this may be through simply increasing communi-cation or finding other ways to help employees.

“Sometimes you have to find other avenues of support,” he said.

As for low-income families, Kelley said of-tentimes the economi-cally disadvantaged do not receive the repre-sentation or attention they deserve. He said the city can do its part to im-prove infrastructure in certain areas, as well as increase efforts to pro-vide quality low-income housing.

Infrastructure is Kel-ley’s cup of tea.

“I can draw from ev-erybody and get a gauge to get things on track,” he said. “I would be an asset.”

Looking ahead in 2013, Kelley said he be-lieves the city council is in good position to move forward. He said the dy-namic needs to be one of objectivity in order to represent the people of Iola’s needs accurately.

“It’s important for the council’s opinion not to ride on the coattails of dominant personali-ties,” he said.

All in all, Kelley said the council would pro-vide him the opportuni-ty to make changes that need to be made in the city, and to represent the needs of its residents.

“It gives me the oppor-tunity to make a differ-ence.”

Another topic was changes to the teacher incentive plan.

Iola High School principal Stacey Fager shared his experiences of being a teacher at Circle High School in Towanda for 14 years. If Towanda teachers didn’t use their allotted two personal days they could carry the days over into next year. If they still chose not to use those personal days they could cash them in and receive substitute’s pay for the four days.

There also was well-

ness pay for teachers who didn’t use sick days. Rationale was the school district wouldn’t be los-ing any money because it is money substitutes would be paid.

“We want the teachers in front of the students,” board president Tony Leavitt said.

The team decided to do more research; no agreement was made.

Next year’s salary, health insurance and summer compensation discussions will be at the next meeting, May 29, because there wasn’t enough information to come to a consensus.

costs.“Our constituency —

the people of Kansas — really do not trust Obamacare,” she said. “There are a number of people who are thinking it’s going to fail.”

The actuaries’ report did not make estimates for employers’ health plans, which cover most workers and their fami-lies.

Also, Sheldon Weis-grau, director of the Topeka-based Health Reform Resource Proj-ect, said the study didn’t take into account how the federal law will af-fect families’ out-of-pocket medical expens-es or provide subsidies for health insurance.

The project, funded by private health founda-tions, provides public education about health care reform.

“They’re not looking at the whole picture,” Weisgrau said.

The actuaries’ study also assumed that all states expand their Med-icaid programs as en-couraged by the federal law. Medicaid provides health coverage for the needy and disabled, and

the federal government is promising to pay al-most all of the cost of an expansion in hopes of bringing health cov-erage to millions of un-insured Americans.

Republican Gov. Sam Brownback has been a strong critic of the federal law but has said that he’ll leave a deci-sion on expanding Med-icaid to the Republican-controlled Legislature. Many GOP lawmakers

are skeptical the fed-eral government will keep its funding prom-ises.

On Wednesday, the Kansas Medicaid Ac-cess Coalition presented petitions favoring an ex-pansion to Brownback’s office Wednesday. The petitions had almost 2,800 signatures.

The coalition has 40 member groups, includ-ing AARP Kansas, Kan-sas Action for Children, the Disability Rights Center of Kansas and the Kansas Association for the Medically Un-derserved.

“This is really just an opportunity that the state shouldn’t miss,” said Anna Lambertson, the coalition’s coordina-tor.

McClatchy NewspapersWASHINGTON — The

Coast Guard has asked the Justice Department to investigate possible pollution violations by both the drilling rigs Shell used in its botched efforts to explore for oil last year in the Arctic Ocean waters off the northern coast of Alas-ka.

Coast Guard Rear Adm. Thomas Ostebo said Wednesday that he’d turned over to the Justice Department for review and possible prosecution an investi-gation into the troubled Shell drilling rig Kul-luk. Ostebo said it was an “investigation into potential Marpol viola-tions.”

Marpol is short for marine pollution, and

it’s a name used to refer to the International Con-vention for the Preven-tion of Pollution From Ships.

The Coast Guard ear-lier had sent the Justice Department a list of 16 safety and environ-mental violations by the other rig used in Shell’s Arctic efforts, the Noble Discoverer.

“As the Coast Guard and Department of Jus-tice are still actively engaged in these inves-tigations, it would not be appropriate for me to provide additional in-formation at this time,” Ostebo said at a Sen-ate hearing in Anchor-age, Alaska, chaired by Alaska Democratic Sen. Mark Begich.

Shell Alaska Vice President Pete Slaiby said at the hearing that he also wouldn’t discuss

any matters under inves-tigation, but he defended Shell’s efforts.

“Our drilling opera-tions were completed safely and successfully. ... It was while leaving the theater of operations that issues with the Dis-coverer were identified by the Coast Guard and the Kulluk ran aground,” Slaiby said.

The Kulluk was grounded for several days off Kodiak Island after a New Year’s Eve storm. Ostebo, who’s the Coast Guard’s command-er for Alaska, said the grounding was an “event that highlights the rigors of operating in Alaskan waters.”

Ostebo said the Coast Guard was investigating the Kulluk grounding with help from experts with the National Trans-portation Safety Board

and the Bureau of Safety and Environmental En-forcement. Such an in-vestigation might take several months to com-plete.

The Noble Discoverer was found to have 16 violations after a Coast Guard inspection at the end of November. The violations included pol-lution control problems and a finding that the vessel couldn’t go fast enough to maneuver safely in rough Arctic conditions.

The rigs were able to drill only a partial well apiece. The Interior Department says Shell won’t be allowed to drill the Arctic waters again until it presents a plan that shows it can handle the conditions. “Shell screwed up in 2012,” Inte-rior Secretary Ken Sala-zar said this month.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Deep within the Sprint Cen-ter, just outside the Kansas locker room, Jayhawks coach Bill Self was holding court af-ter beating North Carolina to advance in the NCAA tourna-ment.

In a state that holds basket-ball dear, the question he was asked was almost inevitable: What do you think of Wichita State joining you in the round of 16?

“I’m happy for the Shock-ers. I’m excited for them,” Self replied, before adding with a quick smile: “But that doesn’t mean we’re going to play them.”

“That was a joke,” Self said, “because I knew that would be the next question.”

It’s one that Self has heard ever since arriving at Kansas a decade ago.

The Jayhawks play in-state rival Kansas State at least twice a year as part of the Big 12 grind, but the state’s two flagship schools have been reluctant to schedule its only other Division I institution on a regular basis.

That’s left Wichita State on an island in the middle of Kansas.

The reasons why are many and varied, and there’s a bill floating around in the legisla-ture designed to compel Kan-sas and Kansas State to sched-ule the Shockers. But as it stands, with the Jayhawks the No. 1 seed in the South Region and Wichita State the ninth seed in the West, only the na-tional championship game would bring them together this season.

Or any time soon, for that matter.

“Our success or failure doesn’t have anything to do with Kansas or K-State. They

won’t play us,” Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall said. “That’s their business.”

In the case of Kansas, Mar-shall said, he’s offered to play home-and-home series and even a three-game series that would take a game to Wichita — there’s a sparkling new downtown arena, so it wouldn’t have to be played on campus — and Allen Field-house in Lawrence, with the third game in Kansas City,

where the Jayhawks would have a decidedly home-court advantage.

No such luck. Not even a sniff.

And don’t think for a second it’s not frustrating.

“We would like to play them. Ultimately, we keep go-ing to Sweet 16s, Elite Eights, Final Fours, it behooves them to play us,” Marshall said this

Bulls end Heat streak at 27By ANDREW SELIGMAN

AP Sports WriterCHICAGO (AP) — The

streak is over. The big prize is still out there.

That’s what mattered most to LeBron James and the Mi-ami Heat.

The Heat’s bid for NBA his-tory ended Wednesday night when their 27-game winning streak was snapped by the Chicago Bulls 101-97, setting off a raucous celebration in-side United Center. Miami fin-ished six shy of the 33-game record held by the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers.

With 11 games remaining, there’s no time for Miami to take another shot at the re-cord. A big run in the postsea-son would seem to be a sure bet.

After all, that’s what it’s about for the Heat. It’s been that way ever since James and Chris Bosh joined Dwyane Wade in Miami in the summer of 2010.

They delivered last season, capturing a championship, and are eyeing a repeat.

The record? It would have been a bonus.

What stood out about the streak?

“I just think the way we compete,” James said. “How we are on and off the floor. ... Ultimately, we want to win the NBA championship.”

The streak that began on Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 3, came to an end despite his best efforts.

James tried to spur yet an-other comeback in the final minutes, getting mad after a rough foul. But the reign-ing MVP could never get the defending champions even, much less ahead, down the stretch.

SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) — Chris Getz sure wished this game was in April.

Getz went 6 for 6 and drove in two runs Wednesday night, helping a Kansas City split squad play the Chicago Cubs to a 9-9, 10-inning tie.

Getz doubled and tripled and led off the 10th with an infield single.

“Obviously, I’d much rath-er it’d be an official game, but I felt good from the first at-bat on,” said Getz. “I’ve been feeling good for a while now and to get results, that’s rewarding. It was a fun night and it’s too bad we couldn’t pull off the ‘W,’ but it cer-tainly helps confidence for me going into the year.”

Alex Gordon, Salvador Perez, Mike Moustakas and Lorenzo Cain homered for the Royals, but the Cubs ral-

lied from a six-run deficit after seven innings to tie the score.

James Shields pitched five strong innings, allowing three singles and two runs in five innings for the Royals.

In his previous outing, Shields allowed nine runs on 11 hits and three walks in five innings against the Los Angeles Angels.

“Sometimes you get hit around a little bit in spring training,” Shields said. “I worked really hard with Dave (Eiland, pitching coach) in the bullpen in be-tween these last starts and it was good news. I translated it right into the game. It was just my direction to the plate. I felt I was missing about six inches in my last game and

Royals take loss, tie in split squad contests

NEW YORK (AP) — Forbes estimated the New York Yan-kees have the highest value in Major League Baseball for the 16th straight year at $2.3 billion, and the average for an MLB team increased by 23 percent in the last year to $744 million.

The magazine said Wednesday the Yankees’ val-ue increased from $1.85 bil-lion last year.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are second in MLB at $1.62 billion — nearly $400 million below the price paid for the team last May when a group headed by Mark Walter, Stan

Kasten and Magic Johnson bought the franchise from Frank McCourt.

Forbes valued Boston third at $1.3 billion, followed by the Chicago Cubs ($1 bil-lion), Philadelphia ($893 million), the New York Mets ($811 million), San Francisco ($786 million), Texas ($764 million), the Los Angeles Angels ($718 million) and St. Louis ($716 million).

The bottom five are Tampa Bay ($451 million), Kansas City ($457 million), Oakland ($468 million), Pittsburgh ($479 million) and Miami ($520 million).

the reason was because I was coming out of my delivery a little bit. We fixed that real quick and got right back on track.”

Against the Cubs, he faced the minimum number of batters the first four innings.

“I ended strong,” Shields said. “I felt re-ally good out there, very crisp. My direction to-day was very good. I was pounding the strike zone and getting ahead of the hitters for the most part. It’s a good way to end.”

It was Shields’ final tune up before start-ing the opener Monday against the Chicago White Sox.

“I’m looking forward to Monday. I’m excited,” Shields said. “It’s the first day of baseball. I think our team is ready to go.”

Cubs right-hander Scott Feldman gave up seven runs on a dozen hits. Feldman, who is the Cubs’ No. 4 starter, had an 11.25 ERA in six spring training starts, allowing 25 runs and 38 hits, including seven home runs, in 19 innings.

David DeJesus stroked an RBI triple in the Cubs’ five-run eighth to extend his hitting streak to 14 games and his sacrifice fly in the ninth scored Nate Schierholtz to tie the score.

Meanwhile in Phoe-nix, Kansas City’s other squad dropped a 9-1 deci-sion to Milwaukee.

The Brewers’ Ryan got a hit and scored a run. Alex Gonzalez homered, singled and drove in two runs and

Aramis Ramirez added a two-run single. Yovani Gallardo threw 6 1-3 in-nings of two-hit ball in his final outing ahead of his fourth straight open-ing day start. He allowed a solo homer to Xavier Nady, walked three and struck out two.

Luis Mendoza, picked Tuesday for the fifth spot in Kansas City’s rota-tion, made his second start since returning from the World Baseball Classic. He allowed six runs — four earned — and 10 hits in 5 2-3 in-nings.

“Most of the hits were ground balls, and that’s what I was looking for,” Mendoza said. “That means my ball is moving down. The hits, that’s part of the game.”

NOTES: The Royals optioned LHPs Francis-ley Bueno and Donnie Joseph to Triple-A Oma-ha and INF-OF Irving Falu to Triple-A Omaha and assigned LHP Ata-hualpa Severino to mi-nor league camp. With Falu’s demotion, Miguel Tejada, the 2002 AL MVP who is in camp on a mi-nor league contract, will be kept as a backup in-fielder. Tejada, who is hitting .367, went 2 for 3 with a walk in the loss to Milwaukee. Tejada, who turns 39 in May, did not play in the majors last year.... The Royals ac-quired minor league OF Desmond Henry from Texas as the player to be named in the November trade that sent LHP Tom-my Hottovy to the Rang-ers. ...

week. “I guess they want to avoid the poten-tial embarrassment of losing to us.”

Consider that anoth-er shot fired across the bow.

Kansas State hasn’t played the Shockers since 2003, and you have to go back anoth-er 10 years to find the last time the Jayhawks played them.

That was when for-mer coach Roy Wil-liams was still on the sideline and the Jay-hawks played their neighbors to the south — they’re separated by only 160 miles of inter-state — in a home-and-home series six times in seven years.

It’s not that the series has been particularly interesting, of course. The Jayhawks won the last five meetings by an average of 32 points, and only twice in 14 games did Wichita State come out on top: The Shockers won in 1989, and also beat Kansas 66-65 in a memorable re-gional semifinal in the 1981 NCAA tournament in New Orleans.

But there are many folks in Kansas, par-ticularly those wearing black and gold, who be-lieve a series between the schools would be good for the state.

The standard re-sponse Kansas and Kansas State have given for not scheduling the Shockers over the past decade is that it simply wouldn’t do them much good.

While the Shockers have been a successful program, they haven’t always been at a level that would help Kansas and Kansas State with their strength of sched-ule. And such a game would hardly stoke na-tional interest the way Ohio State-Kansas or Michigan-Kansas State might.

But these days, Wich-ita State has become one of the nation’s mar-quee mid-majors, rack-ing up 109 wins over the past four seasons. The Shockers are playing in their second straight NCAA tournament, and preparing to face No. 13 seed La Salle for a spot in the regional finals for the first time since that year they beat the Jayhawks.

Suddenly, they’re an “it” team on the rise, and many of those rea-sons for not scheduling Wichita State have lost their credence.

“So what if we win every once in a while. They going to fire Bill Self ? I don’t think so,” Marshall told The As-sociated Press earlier

this year. “It’d be good for everybody, but it’s like moving a moun-tain, man. Like mov-ing a mountain to get it done.”

Michael O’Donnell, a freshman state senator from Wichita, it trying to help move it.

He introduced a bill in the legislature that would have compelled Kansas and Kansas State to put Wichita State on their non-con-ference schedule each year starting with the 2014 season. The bill has not had a hearing and action on the mea-sure isn’t expected this session.

“I don’t think it’s getting any traction,” O’Donnell conceded, “but I think it validates that Wichita State has a terrific basketball pro-gram.”

O’Donnell also said last weekend’s upset of No. 1 Gonzaga should put to rest any doubts about the caliber of basketball played by the Shockers, and drive home the fact that they can compete with any-body — including Kan-sas and Kansas State.

“I’m not saying we’re better than them,” Mar-shall said, “but I think we’ve proven that the value of a game playing us would not hurt them in recent history.”

H WSUContinued from B1

Luol Deng scored 28 points, Carlos Boozer added 21 points and 17 rebounds, and the Bulls brought the Heat’s run to a screeching halt.

Miami’s superstar did all he could to keep it go-ing, scoring 32 points and even collecting a flagrant foul during a physical fi-nal few minutes.

“We haven’t had a chance to really have a moment to know what we just did,” James said. “We had a moment, just very fortunate, very humbling and blessed to be part of this team and be part of a streak like that.”

The Heat hadn’t lost since the Pacers beat them in Indianapolis on Feb. 1. But after grinding out some close wins late-ly, including a rally from 27 down in Cleveland, no one counted them out until the final buzzer.

For the better part of two months, they were the NBA’s comeback

kings. They erased seven double-digit deficits dur-ing the streak. They found themselves trailing in the fourth quarter 11 times, and won them all.

Not Wednesday.“We understand, prob-

ably more so later on in our careers, the signifi-cance of that. And then that was it,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “We took that moment to ac-knowledge it, to acknowl-edge each other, that ex-perience, but it was never about the streak. We have a bigger goal, but also right now, it’s about ‘Are we getting better?’”

They walked off the floor stoically, not ex-changing handshakes or pleasantries with the Bulls. James slapped high-fives with a couple teammates and coaches, then glared at a fan who touched his head as he walked toward the tun-nel leading to the visi-tors’ locker room.

James was frustrated

on the court at times, and showed more of the same in the locker room afterward with regard to how he’s officiated.

He cited two instances from Wednesday — a play in which Kirk Hin-rich took him down with two hands in the first quarter, and Taj Gibson appearing to hit him around his neck with about 4 minutes remain-ing — where he thought the contact was exces-

sive. Referees reviewed the Gibson hit, but did not award a flagrant foul. So, seconds later, James tried to barrel through Carlos Boozer on a screen, and got called for a Flagrant 1 himself.

“Those are not basket-ball plays and it’s been happening all year,” James said. “I’ve been able to keep my cool and try to tell Spo, ‘Let’s not worry about it too much,’ but it is getting to me a little bit.”

H HeatContinued from B1

Carlos Gonzalez/Minneapolis Star Tribune/MCTThe Los Angeles Lakers’ Kobe Bryant (24) attempts a shot between three Minnesota Timberwolves defenders in the third quarter at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Wednesday. The Lakers edged Minnesota, 120-117.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Kobe Bryant looks just fine at playing small forward.

Bryant had 31 points and seven assists in his first game there filling in for the injured Metta World Peace to lead the Los Angeles Lakers to a 120-117 victory over Minnesota on Wednes-day night, their 22nd straight win over the Timberwolves.

Dwight Howard had 25 points, 16 rebounds, five blocks and five steals, and Pau Gasol added 17 points and nine re-bounds for the Lakers, who had lost three in a row and were playing

their first game without their defensive stopper. World Peace will have surgery on a torn me-niscus today, leaving the Lakers to chase the play-offs without him.

Nikola Pekovic had 19 points and 16 rebounds for the Timberwolves, who haven’t beaten the Lakers since March 2007. That was before injured All-Star Kevin Love was even in college.

Down 14 with six min-utes to go, the Wolves used “Hack-a-Dwight” to cut back into the lead. Howard went 2 for 8 and Chase Budinger’s put-back made the score 114-111 with just over a min-

ute to play.But Bryant hit a pull-

up jumper from 22 feet and his free throw gave the Lakers a three-point lead with 3.4 seconds to go. He missed the second shot, and Ricky Rubio raced back the other way and launched a shot at the buzzer that missed. Replays appeared to show Bryant fouling Ru-bio, but there was no call.

Rubio stormed off the court and the Lak-ers walked off a winner. Again.

Antawn Jamison had 18 points and five re-bounds and Steve Nash added 16 points and eight assists for the Lakers.

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.
