SCHOOL’S OUT FOR SUMMER

IHS celebrates last day with competitionsIHS students spent Thursday afternoon com-peting in different games for the last day of school.

Megan (Stewart) Felt told Iola Rotarians Thursday how Irena Sendler saved 2,500 Jew-ish children from almost cer-tain death during World War II.

Felt and three other Union-town High School students, starting in 1999, developed a National History Day project that focused on Sendler’s role to undermine Nazi intentions of exterminating Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto.

The play “Life in a Jar” — later a book and Hallmark Channel movie — evolved from the students’ project to tell Sendler’s story. “Jar” be-came an integral part of the title because Sendler jotted down the names of children saved, placed the names in a jar and buried the jars near an apple tree, “not far from a Ger-man barracks.”

Felt was a freshman when she and the others picked the Holocaust — the Nazi mur-ders of Jews and other “un-desirables” — for a year-long

project. Norm Conard, now director

of the Lowell Milken Center in Fort Scott and then a UHS history teacher, showed them a folder of clippings. One — from a 1994 issue of U.S. News and World Report — men-tioned Sender’s role in saving Jewish children.

“We found just one site on Google that mentioned Send-ler,” Felt said, and thought an estimate of 2,500 children saved probably was in error, that it more likely was 250. “We started looking for her burial site, but then found she was still alive.”

That prompted them to write a letter to Sendler, ex-plaining what they wanted to do.

“One day one of the girls came running down the only hall in Uniontown High, yell-ing that we had gotten a re-sponse,” Felt said.

To their exasperation the letter was written in Polish.

“We found a translator at KU. The first thing the letter said was, ‘To my dear and be-loved girls,’” Felt recalled.

Former Iolan Sheridan (Larson) Brull and husband Justin will tell about their experiences while serv-ing with the Peace Corps in Vanuatu at the Osa and Martin Johnson Safari Museum in Chanute at 2 o’clock this afternoon. The museum is in the old Santa Fe depot.

They have had a display of things they brought back from their stint of service in the South Pacific at the museum since April. The display will remain another month or so.

“We will talk about some of the things on display and what we did while living in Vanuatu,” Sheridan told the Register.

Her parents are Lonnie and Stephanie Larson. She teaches English at Mulvane High School; her husband, a native of Hays, is studying education at Wichita State University.

The display at the Safari Museum parallels in many respects artifacts Osa and Martin Johnson carried back to the United States and Chanute, Osa’s home-town, from their ground-breaking documentary experiences in the South Pacific during the first half of the 20th century.

By SUSAN LYNNsusan@iolaregister.comA 90-second video may

make or break Carlene Mer-edith Cogliati’s future as a musical director.

The Iola native, now of Humboldt, Calif., has written a musical that she hopes will someday see the big stage. A 90-second segment of the musical is now posted on YouTube where judges for America’s Got Talent will pick 40 video spots among thousands of submissions.

“It was hard to find a 90-second segment that rep-resents the essence of a two-hour production,” said Car-lene in a telephone interview earlier this week.

Carlene’s hope is that the audition will adequately pique judges’ curiosity and her two cast members will get a shot at being on the reality TV show that some-

times gives budding artists a long-awaited break.

“If we get a shot at nation-al TV, then the hope is that my play will draw interest for someone to produce it,” she said.

Carlene’s musical is more than some local theater group could perform. The cast is “easily 40 to 60,” she said, not including orchestra. And there are 10 main songs with twice that many varia-

tions on those core melodies.Carlene figures a mini-

mum of $30,000 is needed to get a bare-bones version of the play produced. Two years ago she staged a few of the songs and has since done a lot of rewriting.

“I’m really pleased with the new version,” she said.

CARLENE has been work-ing on the production for more than half of her life.

“I developed the initial idea over 30 years ago,” she said. “Twenty years ago, I did a little bit of writing. For the past five years, it’s basically consumed my life.”

Carlene graduated from Iola High School in 1974. Her parents are Phyllis Meredith Shetlar, a local artist, and the late Leslie Meredith, a biol-ogy instructor at Allen Com-munity College.

After IHS, Carlene attend-ed ACC for two years. From there she attended Emporia

Success of video clip could open doors

By ERIC WHITNEYColorado Public Radio

The only real sur-prise about Colorado’s bill to expand Medic-aid, now that it’s been approved by both legis-lative chambers, is that it won a vote from a Re-publican legislator.

Sen. Larry Crowder from the San Luis Val-ley said he couldn’t vote against the bill when hospitals in his district are strained to the breaking point car-ing for the uninsured. Colorado hospitals strongly support the ex-pansion, saying it will replace many of their unpaid bills with new Medicaid payments.

Both chambers of Colorado’s legislature passed bills late last week to expand Medic-aid as called for in the Affordable Care Act. The next step is the state Senate is expect-ed to approve amend-ments to the House version of the bill on Tuesday and send it to the desk of Gov. John Hickenlooper, a Demo-crat, who has said he will sign it.

“I have no choice but to support this,” said Crowder, whose rural district includes sever-al of the state’s poorest counties.

“I was opposed to Obamacare,” he said, but added that four of the seven hospitals in his district are in “seri-ous financial trouble” and he felt obligated to vote for the bill because it will give uninsured patients a way to pay their bills.

Over four commit-tee hearings, Republi-can lawmakers were the only ones to speak against the bill. No in-dividuals or groups tes-tified that it should not be passed. Proponents, on the other hand, were

numerous and vocal. In testimony, advocates for the poor praised the expansion plan, saying it will finally extend coverage to adults with-out dependent children and tens of thousands of working Coloradans who make too little to afford private health policies.

The state’s hospital association and largest physicians’ group testi-fied in favor of the bill, as did the health insur-ance industry and the Colorado Competitive Council, a statewide as-sociation of chambers of commerce and busi-ness interests.

“This is a way where everybody in the com-munity is paying for,” unpaid hospital bills

racked up by the un-insured, said Travis Berry of the Council, “rather than just those employers that offer insurance to their em-ployees.”

Proponents say the expansion will also cre-ate 22,388 new jobs and boost the state’s econo-my by $4.4 billion.

This past Monday eve-ning I had the distinct pleasure of addressing the Allen Community College Adult Educa-tion graduation. These folks are truly an inspi-ration. I don’t think the general public actually knows how hard it is to get a General Education Development degree otherwise known as a GED.

For candidates to suc-cessfully complete the Kansas GED test they need to receive a mini-mum score of 420 on each of the test sections and an average score of 450 on all tests. This is based on a 200-800 scale. Courses to be tested on include language arts reading, language arts writing, mathematics, social sciences and sci-ence. That may seem like a typical high school curriculum, but think about this. If you only have a sixth-grade edu-cation and have been out of school for 30 years, how would you fare at algebra?

Now imagine hav-ing to learn all this in a month’s time.

My hat goes off to the dedicated and caring

staff at the Adult Ed pro-gram at ACC. Personnel include Julie Martin, di-rector of the Adult Edu-cation Division, Karen Culver, teacher, and Jo Cuppy, teacher. The staff at the Burlingame cam-

pus is just as dedicated. Martin said this year’s graduating class had a 54 percent rate of academic scholarships.

So please welcome these graduates into our communities. Welcome them and if you are in the position to do so of-fer them a job. I think you will find some pretty talented and dedicated employees.

Congratulations to all our graduates from area high schools and colleges. We want you to achieve your goals in life. We also will wel-come you home. You are our future and it looks much brighter with all of you in it.

GED grads a success

Calvary UMW met for their annual covered dish dinner on May 7.

Guests were from Ward Chapel, Humboldt UMC, Trinity and St. John’s Catholic Church. Honored guests from Wellsville were, Five Rivers District UMW President Carol Milroy and her husband.

Following the dinner, the 50 guests were enter-tained by the Reba Davis Drum Circle, a program presented by Karen Jesseph and her fourth- and fifth-grade students.

Jesseph explained how the drum circle got its start. Money for the drums come from a be-quest from Reba Davis and presented by her nephew at her death. Reba was a wonder-ful lady and a longtime member of Calvary. Jesseph invited mem-bers of the audience to come up and try their hand at the drums.

The next UMW meet-ing will be at 1 p.m. June 4. Pat Howerton will be the lesson leader and Kim Romig hostess.

The Brulls were mar-ried in 2008, after both graduated from Kansas State University. They left for Vanuatu that Sep-tember.

“We lived in Vanu-atu two years and three months, typical Peace Corps service,” Sheri-dan said.

Their permanent site, after three months train-ing, was Maewo, one of the country’s least devel-oped islands.

“Our project work was mostly with teach-ers, many of whom had not received any sort of training on how to teach or run a classroom,” she said. “Many of our pictures and artifacts relate to the exceptional people we met in Vanu-atu. Learning how to slow down and take time to ‘story’ — just sit and

chat — is one of the most valuable lessons we learned from the people of Maewo.

“Having lived in Van-uatu for over two years, we can honestly say that our time there was a

roller coaster,” Sheridan continued. “There were moments of sheer bliss — eating fresh pine-apple, watching the sun set over the ocean, story-

ing under coconut trees in the moonlight — and moments of complete frustration — being mis-understood, missing ice cream and flush toilets.

“The people of Vanu-atu are some of the hap-piest I have ever met and I am still amazed at their selfless hospitality,” she said.

Former Iolan Sheridan Brull and husband Justin served in the Peace Corps in the South Pacific.

State University where she received a bachelor’s degree in fine arts in di-recting with a minor in design.

She had jobs in Texas and Louisiana before moving in 1982 to Cali-fornia to pursue a mas-ter’s in fine arts at Hum-boldt State University in northern California.

“My boss at a theater in Baton Rouge recom-mended Humboldt,” she said. “I had learned from attending Emporia not to go to a big university if you want a hands-on experience. I wanted somewhere small. And I needed the countryside to refresh my brain.”

She received her mas-ter’s in 1985 and never left the area. “I have the mountains, the ocean and Redwoods all with-in 10 minutes of my house,” she said. It’s also where she met her husband, Anthony, who also was involved in the Humboldt theater scene, which for a small com-munity, is extremely ac-tive.

“We have three com-munity theaters, and a junior college and a uni-versity with theater de-partments,” she said. A

typical season sees eight to 10 musicals, she said.

Writing the narrative, the libretto, for the musi-cal came more naturally than writing the music, Carlene said.

“I had to stretch my brain more for the mu-sic,” she said. “Some-times the lyrics just seem to bring the music with them.”

Carlene said she was raised with a love for music and that the fe-male side of her family was musically inclined.

As a youth, Carlene studied piano under Jean Barber, Grace My-ers and Vivian Singer.

HELPING her write the songs is Mat Bing-ham, an area musician.

“He’s amazingly con-genial, unlike a lot of artistic types,” Carlene said. She also credits her theatrically inclined community for helping with the production.

“It’s rewarding to

work with creative people. It’s kind of like stone soup. It’s interest-ing to see what they each bring to the production,” she said.

Two Humboldt-area high school seniors, Mira Weidman and Riley McFarland, perform the song “I Think I Should Know You” on the You-Tube sight. To find the clip, enter “Humboldt Musical” on the Amer-ica’s Got Talent site on YouTube.

“Please give it a thumbs up,” Carlene said.

An official title for her production has yet to be released, she said. “I want it to first get to the production stage before the name is out,” she said.

The current title also gives credit to “all the people of Humboldt County who have helped with the show,” Carlene said. “I owe them. This is everyone’s show.”

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Federal regulators have sided with an en-gineer who was fired for reporting unsafe condi-tions created by a con-tractor at the Wolf Creek nuclear power plant in eastern Kansas.

Attorneys said Friday the Occupational Safety and Health Administra-tion ordered Enercon Services, of Kennesaw, Ga., to reinstate the whistleblower to his job at Wolf Creek with back pay. OSHA also ordered the engineering firm to pay $50,650 in damages plus attorneys’ fees and costs.

Enercon and Wolf Creek did not immedi-ately return phone mes-sages. OSHA declined comment.

The dispute stems from a trench dug di-rectly over piping that circulates water to cool the plant. The engineer found it was too close to the pipes and refused to sign off on a plan that would have jeopardized the integrity of the pipes.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Thanks, Angelina. Obvi-ously, I needed a kick in the pants.

Wednesday afternoon I took the time and trouble to get a mammogram. Oh, so hard.

Let’s see, it took 30 min-utes, tops, out of my day with nothing but smiles and friendly small talk by Andrea Hottenstein, the ra-diology technician at Allen County Hospital. The hard-est part was the self-inflict-ed anxiety while waiting for it all to begin. Several long, deep breathes as I glanced over at the torture chamber, the euphemistically named Mammomat Inspiration. Call me mammogramati-cally challenged.

And then I don’t know what happened. It was over.

No pain. No clenching of the jaw. Four simple posi-tions and snap, I’m good to go.

I am embarrassed to ad-mit it, but it had been five years since my last mam-mogram. I know better. And at 57, I’m in that age brack-et, 50 to 70, when breast can-cer is most likely to occur.

The average woman has a 12 percent chance of contracting breast cancer. That’s uncomfortably high and it’s a good bet most of us know someone who has weathered the disease.

Angelina Jolie’s chances of getting breast cancer were estimated at 87 per-cent because of her genetic

makeup. Her mother died at 56 from cancer. Those BRCA 1 and 2 genes also give her 50 percent odds of contracting ovarian cancer.

The actress took pre-emptive measures and had a double mastectomy with breast reconstruction. Next, she will have her ovaries removed. Of the two cancers, ovarian can-cer is the more deadly and the more difficult to detect. Most ovarian cancers reoc-cur and become increas-ingly resistant to chemo-therapy. Only 50 percent of women who contract ovar-ian cancer survive.

I’ve lost close friends to both breast and ovarian cancer. Sue was 43; Carol was 55.

ANGELINA helped put a very public face on a very private decision. She should be commended for doing everything she can to beat the odds of contract-ing cancer. For those of us not considered high-risk, annual mammograms are recommended.

I know, I know. Bring on the wet noodle.

Jolie’s disclosure helps women face risks of cancer

Should Kansas privatize services for the intellectually and developmentally disabled (ID/DD) population? The is-sue has brought a lot of heat this week.

On one side are the mem-bers of the Kansas House Ap-propriations Committee. Like the Brownback Administra-tion, they are eager to include these expensive services in the state’s new, contract-based approach to Medicaid. This week, House Appropriations leaders announced that no money will be appropriated to reduce the long waiting lists for ID/DD assistance, un-til privatization is approved. Committee members believe they are tying cost savings to a shorter wait for services. Op-ponents call it extortion.

The proposal is rather sketchy. Generally, the Brown-back administration and House allies seek to replace the current approach, which relies on state employees along with not-for-profits paid by the state. Their new system would rely on insurance com-panies to manage the cases and subcontract the services. Yet the proposal has gone through multiple drafts and has yet to pass in final form, leaving many questions un-answered. For example, will county governments lose their role in overseeing such con-

tracts? Will ID/DD clients lose their one-on-one relationships with their case managers? We do not yet know. Alarmed op-ponents are funding an anti-privatization ad campaign.

Even the pro-privatization Reason Foundation concedes the problem is complex. Voucher programs, individu-alized funding programs, re-imbursement programs, and direct cash subsidy programs are four different approaches to privatization, with differ-ent strengths and weaknesses. Each has been implemented in several U.S. states and abroad.

Regarding services for chil-dren, all four approaches re-sult in more families keeping them at home, fewer in insti-tutional settings. Alas, the current controversy in Kansas concerns ID/DD adults, so this conclusion isn’t very helpful. However, it may hint at the pos-sibility of more developmen-tally disabled being cared for by family members at home, receiving some state support.

Deborah Auger of the Uni-versity of Delaware surveyed the results of these privati-zation policies. Her bottom line: In order to work, the contracting process must be aggressively overseen by well-trained government em-ployees with real authority. If done well, such policies may mean consumer choice, more

opportunities to stay at home, and cost savings. If done poor-ly, they can be a disaster. Au-ger documents a long train of abuses — payments to provid-ers that provided no care in Massachusetts, a private juve-nile care facility in Colorado closed for gross mismanage-ment, a mental health system with no qualified oversight in Arizona, and $4 million stolen by employees of a New York group home for the mentally ill. Auger also notes that be-fore embarking on a plan to contract, the state should insure that there are indeed

qualified providers through-out the state, able to deliver these services effectively.

IF KANSAS does this, it needs to start by establish-ing an office of qualified peo-ple who understand the ID/DD population and have real authority over contracting. Only such professionals can effectively survey the state’s providers (including insur-ance companies), to see who is qualified. Next, they write the contracts. Finally, they back them with aggressive oversight. For now, Governor Brownback and the House Ap-propriations Committee seem intent on putting forward a rather sketchy proposal, with-out the proper oversight in place.

How to privatize disabled services

MichaelSmithInsightKansas

In order to work, the contracting process must be aggressively overseen by well-trained govern-ment employees with real authority.

Iola is mighty lucky to have a group of folks eager to make our little corner of the world prosper.

For years Ray Pershall was Mr. Iola when it came to en-ticing companies to put down roots here.

Pershall — who also served as an Iola commissioner and mayor — did his homework. He knew what was feasible and would meet with approval. He had strong support in Iola In-dustries principals Ralph Mos-er, Max Snodgrass and Emer-son Lynn, just to name a few.

Gates Corporation, Rus-sell Stover Candies and Herff Jones wouldn’t be the promi-nent employers in Iola they are today without those ef-forts. Russell Stovers, for ex-ample, in part chose Iola be-cause of Pershall’s insistence that upscale concrete roads be built in the north industrial area.

The torch has been passed,

with Iola Industries still at the helm.

John McRae, as Iola’s may-or and since, has had a strong role in more recent years, along with Jerry Skidmore and Mary Kay Heard.

It also has been to our very good fortune that David To-land was willing to leave a promising career in Washing-ton, D.C., to come home and take the reins of Thrive Allen County six years ago.

His personality is similar to Pershall’s, though he em-ploys a more subtle approach. The intensity, however, is the same and city, county and Iola Industries leaders were smart to put him on their payrolls as a part-time economic develop-ment director.

Toland has been instrumen-tal in finding ways to use the former Haldex Brake plant. Catalyst Artificial Lift is be-ing encouraged to move its Humboldt plant there to take advantage of larger quarters.

While a handful of citizens are at the forefront of efforts to improve Iola’s — all of Al-len County’s — economic lot, it is up to all of us to support what is done, talk up the town to strangers, tell about all the positives we have and, from our own perspective, under-stand how fortunate we are to live here.

We all should behometown boosters

As lawmakers wrap up this year’s legislative session, they should wrap their heads around the challenges fac-ing school districts and many Kansas families. And how little lawmakers have done to help.

As of midday Monday, edu-cators and social workers had identified 2,251 students attending Wichita public schools this year who were either living on the street, in shelters or with other fami-lies. That’s a record, and 518 more than last year.

To put that number in per-spective, if these 2,251 stu-dents constituted their own district, it would be larger than 248 of the state’s school districts.

These children face many obstacles. They tend to be emotionally unsettled, and many are hungry and lack ad-equate clothing.

Teachers and school social workers do their best to help, giving the children extra at-tention and often paying for supplies or eyeglasses.

Students are also pitching in. Some students at Woodman Elementary School formed a “Kindness Club” and sold chewing gum (and the right to chew it in school) to help the homeless children in the district. They raised $121.75 —not much, but every little bit helps.

WHAT HAVE LAWMAKERS done to help?

The Legislature and Gov. Sam Brownback are planning no increase in base state aid to schools next fiscal year, even though a three-judge panel ruled in January that the funding is unconstitutionally low and ordered it increased by at least $440 million.

Meanwhile, the Kansas De-partment for Children and Families has been tighten-ing rules on receiving state and federal assistance, while the Legislature passed a new law to drug test people who receive welfare or unemploy-ment benefits. Lawmakers and Brownback are also balk-ing at allowing an expansion

of Medicaid that would enable more than 150,000 Kansans to get needed insurance.

Some lawmakers will say that the tax cuts approved last year were aimed at growing the economy, which could help more Kansans find jobs and afford a house or apartment.

That would be great, if it works. But so far the tax cuts have mostly created budget problems. And those cuts were partly financed by re-ducing tax credits — so some low-income families are actu-ally paying more in taxes now than before.

If lawmakers go along with Brownback’s proposal to make permanent the statewide sales tax increase, low-income fami-lies will shoulder more of the tax burden.

Vivian Schurig, a fourth-grader at Woodman, said of her school’s fundraising ef-fort: “If something is wrong in our community, it is our job to settle it.”

If only more state lawmak-ers felt the same.

Kenna Dodds’ journey to Windsor Place was a difficult one. In October of 2010, Kenna suffered a massive cerebral aneurism. Brain surgery was required. Some very serious infections followed. To date, she has endured more than 30 procedures. After 10 weeks in the hospital ICU, Kenna was taken to a nursing home in Texas. What Kenna’s family hoped would be a place of healing and reha-bilitation turned out to be quite the opposite. She was neglected with no opportunities for therapy of any kind. Kenna’s parents, who live in Iola, never gave up. They heard about Windsor Place and our outstanding therapy department. They worked continuously for more than two years to bring her here. In the beginning, certain laws kept Kenna from leaving Texas. Once that was cleared up, the

cost of the medi-flight to Iola was pro-hibitive. Finally, more than two years after the aneurism, Kenna finally got her chance to come to Iola. A local financial advi-sor, who owned a small plane, volun-teered to fly Kenna to Iola at no charge. Kenna arrived at Windsor Place on February 15, 2013. Upon her arrival, Kenna’s condition told the story about what she had been through in the past two years. She had not received proper hygiene and she wasn’t able to move even one finger. Our staff went to work immediately giving Kenna the care and therapy services she so desperately needed. Just two weeks later, we could already see changes taking place. Her doctor came in and told her he couldn’t believe the progress she’d made. Kenna responded by saying, “I have hope.”

“I have hope.”At Windsor Place, Kenna Dodd

found the hope she’d been missing.

“When we would visit Kenna in the nursing home in Texas, we were so discour-aged. We knew if we didn’t do something, Kenna was going to die. We feel so blessed now that Kenna is back in Iola. Windsor Place had everything ready for Kenna when she arrived. They made the transition beautifully smooth. The staff is phenomenal...always kind, attentive and most of all encouraging. We simply cannot express how grateful we are for everything Windsor Place has done for Kenna. They have made miracles happen. We are so very pleased.”

Sendler’s letter also was packed with informa-tion, including that she had much help in saving the Jewish children. Of the collaborators, 24 were women and one a man. Sendler said she asked herself each day, during her covert efforts to help the children, whether “I did enough, could I have done more.”

As it was, Sendler spent every day looking for chil-dren to save. Sometimes it took convincing parents or grandparents of the true danger their children faced.

Sendler noted she wasn’t always successful.

“Sometimes by the next day the child would have been deported,” she wrote.

Many of the children were extracted from the ghetto through a church, with young boys — who might have been eligible for forced labor — some-times dressed as girls and other children’s hair dyed blond to disguise their eth-nicity.

Once out of the ghetto, Sendler and her collabora-tors hid the children for the duration of the war.

THE GIRLS put the project together and per-formed it as living history, including at a large high school in Kansas City, all the while wishing they could find a way to travel to Poland to meet Sendler and hear her story first-hand.

After the Kansas City performance, “We went to the China Star, at 95th and McCall, to eat lunch,” Felt said. While there a businessman of Jewish descent, who had seen the performance, learned of their desire to travel to Warsaw to meet their heroine.

“Within 24 hours we had the money to go,” Felt said.

The experience was moving. “When we walked into Irena’s apart-ment, we hugged her and told her she was our hero,” Felt said. Sendler’s modest response was that she wasn’t a hero, that she “just did what anyone else would have done.”

Sendler also told the girls she acted on advice she received from her fa-ther when on his death-bed: “If you see someone drowning in a river, you have to jump in and save

them.”That, figuratively, is

what she did: She saw chil-dren dying at the hands of the Nazis and saved as many as she could.

In 2005, Felt and others took the “Life in a Jar” play to Poland and visited Sendler on her 95th birth-day. Felt’s brother, then a freshman at UHS, played the part of a Nazi soldier.

“When Irena hugged him she said something in Polish that caused ev-eryone in the room — pho-tographers and film crews — to laugh out loud.

“Later we found out she said, ‘I never thought I’d hug a Nazi.’”

Sendler died May 12, 2008, at 98.

THROUGH THE Milken Center, where Felt is program director, “Life in a Jar” continues to be performed in Kansas and elsewhere.

“We had our 315th per-formance in April and will do one in Mound City in November,” Felt said.

“We teach how to cre-ate projects at the Milken Center,” Felt said. “We have 50 pages of unsung heroes whose stories are waiting to be told.”

The center has coordi-nated projects in 50 states and 27 countries and has had visitors from 47 states and 50 countries. This summer 10 teachers are attending extended semi-nars at the center.

Today, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., the church will be open for those need-ing a pair of shoes. The church has gath-ered donations from the Iola Senior Cen-ter, public and private donations to amass “hundreds” of pairs of shoes for those in need.

“It’s to help with

those extra family ex-penses,” organizer Micky Kinzle said.

She said all of the shoes are in good con-dition, and can be used for either children or adults. She said the community has been very helpful in donat-ing the shoes and she hopes to see the event carry on into the fu-ture.

“We’d like to keep it going,” she said. “There’s a very strong need for it.”

Mustang magic ride headed to state

By RICHARD LUKENrichard@iolaregister.com

GARNETT — As Levi Ash-more covered first base from the pitcher’s mound late Thursday, two things crossed his mind.

First, he was worried whether the soft toss from first baseman Tyler Clubine would stick in his glove to record the final out in their regional championship game.

Second on his mind? “Who was going to be my

roommate in Salina,” he chuckled.

Salina is the site of the Class 4A State Baseball Tour-nament.

Thursday’s 7-3 win over Paola and 17-6 romp over Fort Scott puts Iola in the state tournament for the first time in the school’s nine-year-old baseball history.

Iola (18-0) will take on Cof-feyville’s Field Kindley High School at 11 a.m. Thursday at Salina’s Dean Evans Stadium. The winner will advance to the state semifinal and final round Friday.

“I’ve told these guys that one of these years, Iola baseball is going to go to state,” Mustang coach Mark Percy said. “We’re as good as anybody, and these kids are focused right now.”

The Mustangs punched their state ticket by respond-ing immediately after both Paola and Fort Scott took ear-ly leads.

Then, the Mustangs took control by use of their devas-tating brand of “small ball” — working the counts to get on base via hit or walk; staying uber-aggressive and advanc-ing into scoring position in any way possible; then watch-ing their opponents self-de-struct.

“We’re a scrappy team,” said senior Mason Coons, who picked up the win in the cham-pionship game. “We don’t have a bunch of power hitters, but we have guys who are aggres-sive. We’re 100 percent scrap-pers.”

Iola trailed Fort Scott 2-0 and 3-2 in the title game be-fore putting their first 11 bat-ters on base in the bottom of the third. By the time the dust cleared, the Mustangs had plated 10 to go up 12-3.

Coons and Drew Faulhaber

had RBI singles during the ral-ly. Aaron Barclay and Clubine drew bases-loaded walks for RBIs. Eric Heffern was hit by a pitch with the bases full. Ashmore, who opened the in-ning with a single, had anoth-er single in his second at bat of the frame to drive in two. Coons and Weir capped the rally with RBI ground balls.

The Tigers changed pitch-ers twice during the outburst, to no avail.

“We knew when it was 6-3 that we had to keep going be-cause their guys could hit the ball,” Ashmore said. “We had to stay aggressive.”

“We’ve been successful all year because we don’t sit on our heels and get nervous,” Percy said. “The guys are ag-gressive, and they’ve been confident the whole year. We got behind in both games, but we didn’t lose our confidence.”

Iola tacked on five in the fourth, spearheaded by Clubine’s leadoff triple. Faul-haber, Heffern and Ashmore followed with RBI singles. Trent Latta walked before Coons singled in Ashmore. Weir launched a double to the outfield that scored Latta, but Coons was gunned down at the plate in his attempt to end the game via Kansas’ 15-run mercy rule.

Wildcats fall at regionalsUNIONTOWN —

Yates Center High’s softball team fell one painful step short of the Class 2-1A state playoffs Thursday.

The Wildcats were done in by Uniontown High’s five-run fourth inning of

a 10-4 loss in the regional championship game.

The loss ends Yates Center’s season at 15-4.

“The girls gave it ev-erything,” Yates Center coach Joe Arell said. “There was no quit.”

The Wildcats made it

to the championship by downing Northeast 11-1 in the semifinals.

“We’ve improved ev-erywhere,” Arell said. “I’m gonna miss our seniors. They wanted to win this more than any-one.”

The runners will

compete in today’s fi-nals if they qualify.

Ruiz and McGee will return to the track for the women’s 5,000-me-ter run.

“Gabby is ranked in the top five and should contend for top three,” Allen coach Vince DeGrado said. “The weather will not be suited for 5,000-meter

running, so anything can happen.”

Parker will run the men’s 5,000 meters along with Pulsifer and Garrett Colglaiz-er.

Iola High’s Mustangs are the top seed, but must get through giant killer Cof-feyville-Field Kindley, which defeated previously unbeaten Frontenac in its re-gional.

Humboldt High is the second seed and hopes to improve upon last year’s third-place finish. The Cubs face a somewhat familiar foe. The teams also played each other in the opening round of the 3A state basketball tournament in March.

Humboldt High’s Lady Cubs are the third seed in their first trip back to state in two years. Unbeaten Silver Lake is the top seed.

PARIS (AP) — After David Beckham’s long and distinguished soc-cer career ends on an artificial turf field in northwestern France, his life promises to be perhaps even more glamorous than it al-ready has been.

Nearly 20 years after breaking into the Man-chester United lineup, the 38-year-old former England captain won the French league title with Paris Saint-Ger-main this season.

After announcing his retirement on Thurs-day, Beckham’s role in soccer will take on a new dimension world-wide.

He has an ambassa-dorial role for Chinese soccer and for British television channel Sky, as well as an option to buy a franchise in Ma-jor League Soccer.

“I would like to wish him all the best for all of his future projects,” PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi said. “We are talking about the possibility of continu-ing our work togeth-er.”

But PSG may have to get in line, as the English Football Asso-ciation also desperately wants him on board.

This was the same Beckham who, al-though ruled out of the tournament through injury, insisted on trav-eling to South Africa to support his teammates at the 2010 World Cup.

Beckham reportedly is being paid 20 million euros ($30.6 million) over five years to work as a Sky Television am-bassador — showing the drawing power he

retains.“He’ll have more

time on his hands and more time for commer-cial partners and the brands he can work or be associated with,” said Steve Martin, the chief executive of M&C Saatchi Sport and En-tertainment. “He has also got so many com-mercial sponsors that will carry on whether he is playing or not.”

He may develop busi-ness interests in the United States, too.

Beckham had five decent years with the Los Angeles Galaxy from 2007-12, winning the championship in his last two seasons. He still has first refusal if he is offered an MSL franchise, although for now it remains unclear where that might take him.

“I have the option of owning a franchise,” Beckham said in De-cember, “and that ex-cites me.”

So that’s Europe and North America. What about Asia?

Two months ago, part of Beckham’s fu-ture was already in full swing when he ar-rived in China. At the time, he said he hadn’t ruled out playing pro-fessionally in China one day.

“Who knows? People keep saying that it will be my last club, it will be my last season,” he said. “I continue to play and I love playing, so we’ll see.”

But any matches in China in the future will only be exhibition games — such as the one he is scheduled to play in November.

Small matter.Fort Scott scored

three in the top of the fifth before Ashmore was called in to slam the door. He retired the fi-nal two Tiger batters on ground balls, including the game clincher.

Coons surrendered 10 hits and four walks with a strikeout.

The Mustangs pound-ed out 16 hits. Ashmore went 4-for-4 with three runs and three RBIs. Latta had two singles and three runs. Coons drove in four with a pair of singles and a sacri-fice fly. Weir had a single and two doubles with two RBIs. Clubine had a double and triple in his only two official at bats with three runs. Faulha-ber had a pair of singles, three RBIs and two runs. Heffern had a single, two

runs and two RBIs.

THINGS were a bit tighter in the opener.

Iola spotted Paola a 3-0 lead in the top of the third before responding in the bottom half to tie the score.

Levi Ashmore walked, stole a base — his 23rd of the season in as many at-tempts — and scored on a Coons triple. Derrick Weir followed with an RBI double. Aaron Bar-clay’s follow-up single tied the score.

The game stayed tied until Weir opened the fifth inning with a single. Clubine walked. Faulha-ber’s infield single gave Iola its first lead, 4-3. Heffern followed with an RBI single.

Latta tripled and Coons singled in the bot-tom of the sixth for Iola’s final run.

Latta pitched a com-plete game, allowing

five hits and three walks with seven strikeouts.

“Trent’s pitching was huge,” Percy said.

“I started hitting my spots,” Latta said. “It was my plan to go the whole game.”

WHILE ELATED to make it to state, Coons and Barclay both noted more work remains.

“We want to win a state title,” Barclay said.

“We’re not done yet.”“Making it to state

means everything to me,” Coons added. “It means everything to this team, especially to guys like Levi and me. We’ve been working all our lives for something like this.

“A lot of people said we couldn’t do this af-ter we came so close last year, because we lost seven of our nine start-ers and our whole pitch-

ing staff,” Barclay said. “We’ve got a bunch of guys stepping up, one through nine.”

There’s one other goal to reach in Salina.

Barclay and Coons both noted that Percy is at 99 career wins as head coach of Iola.

“We want to do this for Coach Percy,” Coons said. “We want to get him to 100. He deserves all of this.”

BALTIMORE (AP) — After being on this earth for 77 years, winning 13 Triple Crown races and totaling more than $100 million in purse money, Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas has earned the right to sit in an of-fice and let his assistants do the grunt work in the stables.

That’s not going to happen anytime soon.

With three entrants in today’s Preakness — that’s a third of the field — Lukas has been work-

ing diligently this week at Pimlico Race Course. Although he’s already won the Preakness five times, he’s eager to make it six.

“It would be signifi-cant,” Lukas said. “I

don’t know how many more there are. I don’t plan on retiring, I’m not thinking about that at all, but you only get so many opportunities every year with a good 3-year-old.”

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Negotiations on the Kansas budget halted abruptly Friday after state senators demand-ed a final offer from the House that could lead to the end of the 2013 ses-sion.

The talks had been scheduled for Friday morning, following three rounds of negotia-tions Thursday which saw legislators make steady progress on the budget for the next two fiscal years.

Senate Ways and Means Chairman Ty Masterson asked his House counterpart to move the process fur-ther along, seeking a final offer on higher education and a state employee salary cap that would pass the GOP-dominated House. But House Appropria-tions Committee Chair-man Marc Rhoades said that request couldn’t be accommodated and can-celed Friday’s meetings.

“We can’t do that,” Rhoades said of meet-ing the pressure to have a final solution quickly. “It will take time for us to get a final, final offer. I don’t fault the chair-man. Those are his marching orders.”

The Newton Repub-lican said he hopes to meet with House lead-ers and resume talks with the Senate on Mon-day.

Senate President Su-san Wagle planned a news conference later Friday to discuss the impasse.

The breakdown in talks came a day after a rare joint caucus of House and Senate Re-publicans where mem-bers expressed a desire to work together to re-solve issues over the $14.5 million budget and find a compromise on taxes. Soon after the meeting, budget negotiators conducted three rounds of talks and pared their list to a

handful of items.“Clearly we are at an

impasse,” Sen. Laura Kelly, a Topeka Demo-crat and member of the Senate budget negotiat-ing team, said Friday. “How do we do a bud-get when we don’t even know how much reve-nue we have? We should do taxes first.”

She said no budget that’s been on the table so far would cut enough money in the long term to match revenue pro-jections.

“We don’t have the revenue because we cut income taxes last year,” Kelly said.

Major sticking points remain the House de-sire to cut spending at state universities, com-munity colleges and technical centers by 4 percent. The Senate initially sought a 2 per-cent cut, but Master-son countered with a 1 percent reduction in both 2014 and 2015. The House rejected that.

The House is also holding fast to a desire to cap state employee salaries at certain agen-cies, saving more than $63 million. Certain agencies could request additional funding from the State Finance Council including the Department of Trans-portation, corrections, Kansas Highway Patrol and state hospitals.

GOP senators have of-fered an alternative that would provide addition-al revenues for salaries and wages to blunt the impact sought by the House.

Breakdown on budget talks

How do we do a budget when we don’t een know how much revenue we have? We should do taxes first.

— Sen. Laura Kelly,Topeka Democrat

“Kansas moves to enact law on lobbying

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas lawmakers are close to approving limits on the use of state tax dollars to lobby fed-eral, state or local officials on gun control issues.

The Senate approved the measure on a 31-6 vote Fri-day. The House could consider the measure as early as Monday.

House approval would send the bill to Gov. Sam Brown-back, who is a strong gun-rights supporter but hasn’t said publicly whether he’d sign the measure.

The bill would bar state and local officials from using state funds to prepare materials or broadcast advertising that promote or oppose gun control measures. They also couldn’t hire lobbyists on the issue with state funds.

Proponents of the measure say Kansans don’t want their tax dollars used on lobbying. Critics said the bill is vague.

Legislature provides funds for ranch TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A ranch for troubled boys in

Sedgwick County will stay open after Kansas lawmakers agreed to provide $750,000 in funding for next year, county officials said.

Although the state budget is not final, budget negotiators in the Kansas House and Senate said Thursday money will be provided for the Judge James V. Riddel Boys Ranch, a juvenile correctional facility at Lake Afton, The Wichita Eagle reported.

Facing a $9.3 million shortfall in the Sedgwick County budget, officials seriously considered closing the ranch, which provides life-skills training, education and counsel-ing for youths who live at the facility. Officials said the dif-ference between the cost of providing full-time housing and services for up to 49 boys and the state’s share was too great.

Last year, Sedgwick County paid $201 a day per boy, with the state paying $126 of that.

Sudoku is like a crossword puzzle, but uses numbers instead of words. The puzzle is a box of 81 squares, subdivided into 3x3 cubes of 9 squares each. Some squares are filled in with numbers. The rest should be filled in by the puzzler. Fill in the blank squares allowing the numbers 1-9 to appear only once in every row, once in every column and once in every 3x3 box. One-star puzzles are for beginners, and the difficulty gradually increases through the week to a very challenging five-star puzzle.

Public notices

Dear Dr. Roach: I have been diagnosed with be-nign essential tremor. I have seen several ex-perts and tried many medications, none of which have been very helpful. I recently read about focused ultra-sound. Can you tell me anything about it? I have no desire for brain sur-gery for deep brain stim-ulation. — A.M.

Answer: Benign es-sential tremor is a com-mon movement disorder. The word “essential” just means we don’t re-ally understand what causes it, although a ge-netic mutation is postu-lated.

Although it is called

“benign,” the effects of the tremor can be sig-nificant. The tremor most commonly is in the hands, but can be in the head or voice as well, and less commonly in the legs or trunk. It runs very strongly in fami-

lies, and although it can occur at almost any age, it is usually diagnosed about age 45, and tends to worsen over time.

It can be confused for Parkinson’s disease.

Many people notice that alcohol temporarily im-proves the tremor, which is helpful for diagnosis, but not treatment.

Treatment can include medications, including beta blockers and anti-seizure medicines. They help many people with this condition. However, as many as 30 percent of people do not get better with medication.

There are several sur-gical treatments. They involve the thalamus, a deep area of the brain involved in motor func-tion. Surgery on the thal-amus was shown back in the 1950s to improve the tremor, but in the 1990s, deep brain stimulation

— a wire placed into that area of the brain — was shown to be as effective, with fewer side effects.

More recently, radia-tion and ultrasound have been studied. They can direct energy precisely to the thalamus, and can, in theory, provide the same benefits without surgery. Ultrasound may be better because the benefits show up immediately, as op-posed to radiation, which takes several weeks to work. The initial stud-ies are very promising, but it is a very new tech-nique, and studies are ongoing that will need to be completed before the procedure can be rou-tinely recommended.

Dr. KeithRoach

Benign tremor can cause issues

Denny Hamlin continued an age-old NASCAR tradition by playing hurt in Saturday night’s Bojangles’ Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway.

Hamlin, who is recovering from a fractured lower vertebra suffered in a crash at Texas Motor Speedway, got his doctor’s approval to compete in the rugged Sprint Cup event at the series’ oldest superspeedway oval.

Driving a race car while recovering from a racing injury is nothing new in stock-car circles. Some of the stories are epic. For instance, Bobby Allison drove for a stretch of races with a broken back. He was placed in and removed from his car by an engine hoist.

In 1990, Darrell Waltrip crashed hard at Daytona in practice for what we now call the Coke Zero 400. His left leg was shattered and required plates, rods and screws to put it back together at Halifax Health Medical Center.

Waltrip missed the 400 but started the next Cup race two weeks later at Pocono Raceway. He wisely sat out the next fi ve races in order for his leg to heal properly.

Dale Earnhardt broke his shoulder blade at Talladega’s summer race, started the following week at Indianapolis before pitting to let Mike Skinner fi nish the run. The week after Indy, Earnhardt sat on the pole at Watkins Glen and stayed in the seat to fi nish sixth.

The list is endless, but Hamlin knows how to play hurt. In 2010, he had surgery to his left knee to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament. Three weeks later, still hobbled, he won at Texas.

Saturday night, Hamlin fi nished second to Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Matt Kenseth.

“Watching the races from the sidelines for fi ve weeks, it’s tough,” Hamlin said. “You know you can change things. You can do things to change your outcome. But you’re not in the race car. My back held up good. I’m more sore, shoulders, neck, things like that. I got to get back in racing shape. It will take time to get back to where I need to be.”

No tuxedos in TalladegaNow we

know why Cup Series rookie Timmy Hill missed the race at Talladega Superspeedway. He had more important things to do that weekend — going to prom.

Hill escorted girlfriend Lucy Kennedy to the Ragsdale High School prom in Jamestown, N.C., the night before the Aaron’s 499. Terry Labonte, who didn’t have a prom date, drove the No. 32 Ford at Talladega.

“Lucy and I had a great time dancing the night away,” said Hill, who fi nished 33rd at Darlington.

FoMoCo, huh?Ford Motor Co. honchos have to be scratching their heads

back in Dearborn, Mich., as they scan the Cup Series to date. Ford’s lead dog, Roush Fenway Racing, has put up just one win (Carl Edwards, Phoenix) in 2013.

Ford has just one other win (Talladega) in ‘13, by David Ragan, who drives for Ford’s B Team, Front Row Motorsports. Edwards was the only “Blue Oval” driver to fi nish top-10 at Darlington. Back to the drawing board? The guess here is that Ford engineers are camping out around the drawing board.

Can someone explain the Kurt Busch fl irtation with

the Indy 500 ?In short, it’s good for business. Everybody’s business, particularly Kurt Busch’s business. He appears to be extremely hungry to become a front-page guy again — and for all the right reasons this time. Hooking up with IndyCar owner Michael Andretti to run a “rookie test” at Indy is the type of thing that gets everyone’s attention, and garnering attention is a big deal with racers who want bigger and better things.

Just a test, right?It appears so. Kurt doesn’t think it’s feasible to run the Indy-Charlotte double, and he’s probably right. But that brings us back to the issue that someone needs to eventually address: Do something to facilitate an Indy 500 entry for the biggest names in North American motorsports, which just so happen to run under the NASCAR banner. The impetus, however, might be changing.

How?During the past decade or so, with NASCAR dwarfi ng IndyCar in terms of popularity, it was Indy that needed to make the logistical change necessary for an easy double-dip for NASCAR stars. Moving the Indy 500 to Saturday would be the easiest move, but no dice. But now, with NASCAR looking for ways to jump-start the ratings and merchandise numbers, maybe the Boys in Daytona should be willing to work with the Indy folks in an effort to rev up some late-May interest. Make it happen; EVERYBODY wants it.

AP/AJ MAST Let’s make it easier for Michael Andretti and Kurt Busch to do business.

Kasey Kahne vs. Kyle Busch: Kahne is getting frustrated after his third on-track incident with Kyle Busch.

Godwin Kelly gives his take: “This is supposed to be a sport of give and take, but it seems Kahne is getting more take than he deserves from Busch.”

Have you fi gured out the format for the

All-Star Race?GODSPEAK: No, but that just adds to the mystery of the event. Instead of just asking “Who’s gonna win?” we can also ask “How many laps?” and “What’s a segment?”KEN’S CALL: It’s sponsored by Sprint, and it fi gures. Only a cellphone company could produce such a scenario.

Both Busch brothers appear to be angry at the same time. Should

we be scared?GODSPEAK: There is “Busch brothers angry” and there’s “NFL linebacker angry.” The Busch boys are for amusement only.KEN’S CALL: Good to see Kyle returning to form. Just enjoy the show.

BUSCHKAHNE

Matt Kenseth confessed he wanted to win the Bojangles’ Southern 500 more than any other race on the schedule. The two-time Daytona 500 champion is now one Brickyard 400 win away from completing the modern-day Cup Series career grand slam. The slam includes the Daytona 500, Brickyard 400, Southern 500 and Coca-Cola 600. Kenseth, 41, talked about the importance of winning the Southern 500:

How does it feel to win at Darlington?“Man, it’s right up there. I don’t know that I’ve had a win that

feels bigger than this at this moment. This is obviously a really historic racetrack. The Southern 500 is one of the most storied races anywhere, not just in NASCAR. It’s pretty cool to be able to stand in Victory Lane at this place, same spot where all the other great drivers stood. Pretty neat race to win, for sure.”

You’re within six wins of being in the top 20 all time in Cup victories. Did you ever imagine

you would be at this level? “Especially being so young (smiling). I’m trying to look

forward and not back. I’m hoping Joe and J.D. (Gibbs) keep me around for a long time. Certainly, I’ve been fortunate and blessed throughout my career to have great race teams, great people working on the cars, great sponsors, the whole thing. I’ve been very fortunate. I got the good job. I got the easy job. They give me cars that are this fast and drive like this, it sure is a lot of fun.”

PLAYING HURT

AP/REED SAXON The back of that uniform smells like Bengay.

A lot of people compared you to David Pearson. Laid-back, save the best for last. Were you saving

anything Saturday night?“Really through that middle portion of the race, I thought

we had about a fi fth-place car. We had good track position. We were somewhere in there. Start of the race, we were really good, fi rst two runs. Then we got off. Man, we were trying. A lot of those long green-fl ag runs, we didn’t have time to take a breath and make huge adjustments. All those guys worked back there to make the right adjustments.”

You’ve won three of your fi rst 11 races with Joe Gibbs Racing. Some people are saying,

‘What if the team is peaking too early?’ Is there any concern there?

“No. I mean, I’m not a big believer in that. I think the goal of a race team and an organization is to never peak. I think it’s to continue to keep getting better. That’s one thing I’ve seen over there pretty much from day one. They’re not standing still. They’re always trying to build a better car.

“We’re always trying to do that, working on the future. I think that’s how racing is. No, I don’t have any concern. I really feel like with this team, driving this car, I feel like the sky’s the limit.”
