NEWMAN AUXILIARY AWARDS $10,000 IN SCHOLARSHIPS

By Ryann Brooks

brooks@emporia.com

Five college students pursuing degrees in health-related fields were awarded $10,000 in scholarships from the Newman Regional Health Auxiliary Tuesday afternoon.

This year’s scholarship recipients are Rachael Bolinger, Megan Beitz, Sadie Trear, Hannah Stump and Austin Umana.

Auxiliary President Carolyn Hossfeld said the auxiliary was proud to offer scholarships to promising young medical professionals.

“We’re very proud of this scholarship,” she said. “This year we’re giving a larger amount to few people, so you all made the cut. We had 30 applicants and we chose five, so it was very competitive. We’re very proud of you.”

Hossfeld said the scholarships will be divided over two semesters, with $1,000 awarded in the fall and the remaining $1,000 awarded in the spring. Students must maintain a 3.0 grade point average and show proof of

enrollment in order to receive the second disbursement.

Auxiliary Volunteer Coordinator Deborah Storrer said the decision to award a smaller number of scholarships was made by the auxiliary as a way to better support students pursuing a college education.

“We wanted to offer less scholarships at a high value to give to their education,” Storrer said.

Megan Beitz, a junior in Emporia State University’s nursing program, said she was excited to receive the scholarship. A native of Conway Falls, Beitz said she already holds a degree from ESU in health and human performance.

Beitz said she plans to work at Morris County Hospital as an emergency and trauma nurse after graduation before eventually pursuing a career in orthopedic surgery.

“I’m from a very small town that’s very sports-oriented, so that’s why I have an interest in orthopedics,” she said. “I want to start out in the ER and trauma, because

that’s where you learn. You learn really, really fast there because it’s very fast paced.”

Sadie Trear is also attending ESU and will enter her first year in the nursing pro-

gram next week.

“I’m really excited about becoming a nurse,” she said.

Trear’s mother, Amy Hoy, said she was proud of her daughter.

CONQUERING DIABETES Special to The Gazette

Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects more than 12 million people who are 65 years and older, so chances are high that many seniors in our community have the disease, or at least know someone with it.

Diabetes is characterized by having too much glucose, or sugar, in the blood. Some sugar in the blood is OK, but too much sugar is dangerous.

Our bodies get glucose — or sugar — primarily from the foods we eat. If our body works the way it should, glucose moves from our bloodstream into our cells where it is converted into energy.

Insulin is a hormone that helps facilitate this process.

Unfortunately, our body doesn’t always work the way we want it to.

Diabetes sets in when we don’t make enough insulin, or the insulin doesn’t work the way it should, and too much sugar stays in the blood.

Diabetes can cause serious damage to the body if not managed properly, contributing to heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, blindness, kidney disease and amputation. In fact, nearly 30 million people who have diabetes as a primary condition need emergency care, reports the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

It’s a disease that requires a tremendous amount of monitoring and self-care.

Following is more information about the types of Diabetes, tips on how to prevent the disease, as well as management strategies if you or a loved one already have or have been diagnosed with Diabetes so that you can take control of it, avoid emergency care and enjoy an active, independent lifestyle.

Types of Diabetes

With type 1 diabetes, the body does not make insulin. A person who has type 1 diabetes must take insulin daily to live. Type 1 diabetes accounts for about 5 to 10 percent of diagnosed diabetes in the United States, according to the National Institutes of Health. It develops most often in children and young adults, but can appear at any age. Symptoms may include increased thirst and urination, constant hunger, weight loss, blurred vision and extreme fatigue.

If not diagnosed and treated with insulin, a person with type 1 diabetes can lapse into a life-threatening diabetic coma. We have no control over this type of diabetes.

With type 2 diabetes, which is the more common type, the body does not make or use insulin well.

Often, by making healthier lifestyle choices, such as losing weight or exercising or eating healthier foods, we can keep the disease from worsening and damaging our bodies.

Type 2 diabetes is most often associated with older age, obesity, family history of diabetes, previous history of gestational diabetes, physical inactivity and certain ethnicities. About 80 percent of people with type 2 diabetes are overweight or obese, reports the National Institutes of Health.

The symptoms of type 2 diabetes are similar to those of type 1 diabetes, but they develop gradually. Symptoms may include fatigue, frequent urination, increased thirst and hunger, weight loss, blurred vision and slow healing of wounds or sores.

Some people have no symptoms.

there is a lot that can be done to prevent or delay diabetes.

Studies show that people can lower their risk of developing diabetes by losing 5 to 7 percent of their body weight through diet and exercise. In fact, a major study of more than 3,000 people with prediabetes found that diet and exercise resulting in a 5 to 7 percent weight loss (that’s about 10 to 14 pounds in a person who weighs 200 pounds) lowered the incidence of type 2 diabetes by nearly 60 percent. Study participants lost weight by cutting fat and calories in their diet and by exercising at least 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week. Walking was the exercise of choice.

• Exercise. Choose an activity you enjoy (such as walking or swimming) and do it for about 30 minutes a day most days of the week.

Check with your health care provider before starting an exercise program.

• Eat healthy. Load up on fruits, vegetables, low-fat dairy sources and lean protein. Incorporate more fish, beans, peas, nuts and seeds into your diet and experiment with seasonings such as cinnamon.

• Lose weight if needed.

Just a 5 percent weight loss is proven to help prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes.

• Stay on top of your regular screenings, including

Even with newlook offense, Hornets have eyes set high in 2019

By Stephen Coleman stephen@emporia.com

In spite of a high turnover in Emporia State’s offensive lineup this fall, head coach Garin Higgins doesn’t believe that the expectations will change for his team.

He may have to exercise a little more restraint than he’s had to in recent memory however.

“My expectations probably don’t change, I think maybe just my patience is a little bit better and that’s what I’m working on,” he said. “Our guys that have been here before ... have done a good job of really showing those guys how things are done. It is a little bit different for me, but I understand this group is different than last year. When you’ve coached as long as I’ve coached, you figure those things out, where patience is definitely key. As coaches, we’ve got to make sure to take our time and coach these guys up and do some things extra with them.”

That’s been a focal point for coaches and returners alike in the early stages of the Hornets’ camp, which began with meetings on Sunday and carried onto the field Monday and Tuesday.

With a lot of folks working to secure starting jobs or place themselves in a mix for playing time, a high precedent needs to be set.

“We’ve had really good leaders in the past and I know I’ve got big shoes to fill,” senior running back Kai Callins said.

Callins is easily the most experienced returner among the Hornets’ offensive skill players. He enters his senior season after losing parts of two seasons due to injuries.

That extra time, however, has also proven to be quite a learning experience.

Back in (20)14, those first few practices, I was going all out, 110 percent all the time,” he said. “It took a toll on me as the weeks (went) along. I’ve gotten used to

that pace. (Now) I know how fast we go and I know times I really need to pick it up and times where I need to (slow) it down a little bit.”

ESU, selected sixth in the MIAA’s preseason coaches and media polls, has high ceiling, but a number of positions that will need to prove themselves as the season goes along.

That includes at quarterback, where sophomore Dalton Cowan is expected to take the reigns from MIAA Offensive Player of the Year Braxton Marstall.

The Hornets will also look to replace six of their leading seven receiving options from a year ago, as well as their lead running back.

“I just expect people to be hungry,” Callins said.

“Last year, we talked a lot about Tyler Harris, (Justin Brown), Braxton, Landon (Nault), we talked about those guys all the time.

(Newer players) want their name to be called out I think they’re hungry, they have a lot of talent, I think it’s going to be interesting year.”

FLAHERTY GOES 7 INNINGS AS CARDINALS EDGE ROYALS 2-0 The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, MO. — The two words that Cardinals manager Mike Shildt kept using to describe the reasons behind Jack Flaherty’s phenomenal pitching success since the All-Star break were conviction and command.

The Royals probably have a few choice words to describe Flaherty, too.

The right-hander tossed seven innings of three-hit ball in yet another dominant performance Tuesday night, and Tommy Edman and Paul Goldschmidt drove in the only runs as St. Louis edged Kansas City 2-0 to open a two-game series between the cross-state rivals.

“That’s been Jack. That’s who he’s been,” Shildt said.

“Just outstanding pitching.”

Flaherty (6-6) struck out seven with a lone walk in his sixth stingy start, though he has just two wins to show for them. He’s allowed 20 hits with 50 strikeouts and 0.70 ERA over that span.

“He’s been absolutely on fire lately,” Edman said.

“Jack was awesome again, as usual.”

Flaherty headed for the showers after throwing 110 pitches, and the St.

Louis bullpen nailed down the win. Andrew Miller worked around a single in the eighth and retired Alex Gordon in the ninth, and Carlos Martínez got the final two outs, completing the four-hitter while earning his 13th save.

Glenn Sparkman (3-8) did everything the Royals asked over six sharp innings.

He allowed two runs, one of them earned, but still hasn’t won since a July 16 shutout of the White Sox. “With every start I’m getting a little better. Still shaky in the first through third,” he said. “But overall I felt pretty good today. Definitely a lot of things to work on still.”

The most spirit the woebegone Royals showed all night came when Kolten Wong legged out an infield single in the fifth, and manager Ned Yost complained about interference on the throw. His heated exchange with plate umpire Pat Hoberg escalated until first base ump Greg Gibson tossed him.

It was the third time this season Yost has been ejected.

“In all fairness,” Yost said, “they gave me every opportunity to stop arguing.”

Both Cardinals runs were

scored in scrappy fashion.

The first came when Dexter Fowler reached on an error in the first, advanced on a groundout and scored on Goldschmidt’s sacrifice fly, and the second came on Edman’s single in the third — just before he was caught between bases to end the inning.

The way Flaherty was going, that was all St. Louis needed.

He gave up a two-out double to Hunter Dozier and intentionally walked Jorge Soler in the first, but got Cheslor Cuthbert to pop out and end the inning. Flaherty proceeded to retire 12 more in succession before Nicky Lopez led off the sixth inning with a base hit.

Flaherty wound up getting a double play and striking out Dozier to end that inning.

“His fastball’s got life.

Slider is tight. Good arm action with pitches,” the Royals’ Whit Merrifield said.

“He locates well, moves it around. He doesn’t miss a whole lot. When he does miss it’s not in the zone. So he does a good job of keeping you on your toes.”

CHIEFS BECOME DESTINATION WITH MAHOMES, REID COMBINATION With a young superstar at quarterback and an innovative players’ coach, the Kansas City Chiefs have become a destination for players

The Associated Press

ST. JOSEPH, MO. — The Kansas City Chiefs needed a playmaking safety and signed coveted free agent Tyrann Mathieu.

They needed help at cornerback and signed Bashaud Breeland and Morris Claiborne.

They had to address the pass rush and extended the contract of defensive end Frank Clark.

That aggressive approach to roster turnover speaks volumes about the job Chiefs general manager Brett Veach has done in Kansas City. But it also speaks volumes to the fact that the Chiefs, for years a franchise that struggled to lure top talent on the open market against higher-profile teams, has become a destination for players seeking playoff glory and Super Bowl rings.

“I wanted to come to a team that had great talent, great core players,” explained Mathieu, who signed a $42 million, threeyear contract in March.

“Any time you can play for an organization that has a great history and obvi-

ously a great quarterback that’s really going to take this league over, really by storm — really this was a no-brainer for me and my family.”

In fact, that may be the biggest reason everyone seems to want to play in Kansas City: the unique combination of an innovative players’ coach in Andy Reid and quarterback Patrick Mahomes, whose record-setting debut as the starter portends postseason success for years to come.

“They’ve got a good ball club and the best offense in the league,” said Claiborne, a former first-round draft pick who signed a $3 million deal late last week.

The beauty of that mindset among players, at least from the Chiefs’ perspective, is that it creates a snowball effect. Top players want to play for a good team, making a good team even better.

The biggest pitfall of the Chiefs a year ago, when they lost to the Patriots in overtime in the AFC title game, was their much-maligned defense. But consider their quartet of high-profile additions: All of them reside on that side of the ball, shoring up the biggest weakness.

They’ve made a team that has won three consecutive AFC West titles even stronger.

“I just got finished playing with Aaron Rodgers,” said Breeland, who played part of last season in Green Bay, “and to me (Mahomes) is like a younger version of Rodgers with a lot more attributes. Young guys are starting to propel differently these days. He’s an exciting player and I’m just ready to compete against him. I know that if I can ball against him at practice, then I can play against anybody.”

Claiborne was recently suspended the first four games of the regular season for violating the NFL’s substance-abuse policy. So not only was he looking for a place where he could win after average seasons with the Cowboys and Jets, he was looking for a place that could give him a second chance.

Just like the Chiefs have given to Mathieu, who was kicked off the team at LSU before becoming an NFL star, and Clark, who likewise was booted off his college team before Seattle drafted him.

Both have steered clear of trouble in the league, but both — like wide receiver Tyreek Hill and several others that have come through Kansas City — carry baggage.

“They knew what I was going through and they wanted to help me through it,” Claiborne said. “That was a part of the reason that really made up my mind as I want to come here. These guys not only care about me as a football player, but as a man and as a person.”

Players around the league are aware of the culture and success in Kansas City, too. Claiborne said Mathieu, his old college teammate, called him not long ago to stump for him signing with the Chiefs.

It was a sales pitch that is becoming increasingly unnecessary.

NOTES: DE Frank Clark missed practice Tuesday with an illness. ... WR Gehrig Dieter (back), WR Davon Grayson (knee), TE John Lovette (shoulder) and CB D’Montre Wade (knee) did not practice. DE Alex Okafor (hip) took part in most of practice before heading to the locker room early.

Torn Between Marriage Vows and Well-Being DEAR ANNIE: I have a problem

I’ve been struggling with for quite some time. I am in my late 40s and have been married for over half my life. For the past five years or so, I have been dealing with the idea that I may be gay. I have always kind of felt that I could be, but I went the traditional route and married a man.

Thinking back to my younger days, I was never interested much in the boys or men around me. I dated many, but I never felt anything for them. My husband was different; I actually did have feelings for him, and I still love him very much. I have told him that I have these other feelings and can’t help but fear I may have missed out on something more. He’s heard me out but hasn’t had much to say about it.

Instead, he’s pretty much just ignored it, probably hoping it would go away.

My husband and I have not been very close for quite a while, so I can’t help thinking I could be experiencing a life more in line with my true self. I don’t want to have any regrets when I get older, but I did make a commitment when I married. I am so torn. I have been seeing a therapist, but we never seem to talk much about this issue. She plays it off, almost the same as my husband. Am I making too much of this? Should I give up thinking about it? Do you have any suggestions as to how I could deal with this?

-- Married, But Maybe the Grass Is Greener on the Other Side

it with the grain of salt that I should.

However, we are on the same page when it comes to the terrible practice of smashing wedding cake in people’s faces. “Playful” is absolutely wrong in defending this practice.

I attended a beautiful wedding recently. It was quite lavish and tasteful -- until the cake cutting took place.

The bride and groom smacked each other in the face with cake. They then proceeded to grab handfuls of the icing-loaded cake and throw it at each other, much to the disapproval of guests close by. The attendants then got into the melee and also started to toss cake and icing. Before long, the room was smeared with icing and cake, and some guests were so disgusted that they got up and left.

After the cake was destroyed and the wild tossing was over, the bride, groom and attendants were covered with the mess, as was the whole room, and they all were exhausted.

The beautiful expensive gowns of the bride and bridesmaids and the expensive rented tux of the groomsmen were all covered in cake crumbs and gooey icing. I can’t describe how I felt after that display of utter waste and foolishness.

At another recent wedding, I remarked that if people were going to smear each other with cake, I might just leave. This is a total abandonment of common sense.

-- Disgusted by Cake Smashing

DEAR MARRIED, BUT: It sounds

DEAR DISGUSTED: Well put.

like you are not so much thinking about these things but rather feeling feelings, and no one is listening to you.

If your husband and therapist are both sweeping your feelings under the rug, it’s time to find a new therapist. Seek the help of a real professional and go to marriage counseling with your husband. Whether this is a midlife crisis or your real feelings, you deserve to be happy.
