A season for changes

By ALLISON TINN

Iola school board members approved a new plan to better student behavior at the high school. Iola High School assistant principal Joe Sample presented the board with a new point system he thinks will help reduce bad behavior. Sample said he found himself “chasing his tail” because students knew what the consequences were for poor behavior but would do it anyway. The point system has four levels. A Level 1 infraction gives the student one point; Level 2, three points; Level 3, five points, and Level 4, 15 points. A student could only receive 15 points per school year. Level 1 offenses include excessive tardiness, computer violations, insubordination and failure to serve sentence. Each of these offenses would require a student attend Friday night school, which goes from 3 to 6 p.m. A Level 2 offense would land the student with in-school suspension, and includes vandalism to school grounds incurring less than $100 in damages, leaving the building without permission and use of tobacco. Level 3 would include fighting, incitement and inappropriate conduct, and would place the student in out-ofSee SCHOOLS | Page A6

New council sworn in, others step down By STEVEN SCHWARTZ steve@iolaregister.com

While Monday night’s business included several decisions made by the Iola City Council, it seemed the real purpose was to honor those leaving the council and recognize those stepping up. Dozens of Iolans filled the New Community Building Monday night to see their new city council members sworn in by City Clerk Roxanne Hutton. Bob Shaughnessy and Sandy Zornes were sworn into their seats, and Mayor Joel Wicoff took his oath. For those stepping down, they had one last chance to raise their right hand — they approved the consent agenda before giving up their seats. David Toland and Jim Kilby were honored with a plaque for their time serving their city. “Our government works,” Kilby said in a brief speech. He said the council has overcome many adversities and difficulties, but it emerged stronger than ever. The ceremonies ended by honoring Iola’s mayor of two See COUNCIL | Page A6

Allen County workers dumped screenings in a ditch near a tank battery southwest of Iola Monday afternoon to prevent spilled oil from spreading.

Two oil spills occur Monday By BOB JOHNSON

bob@iolaregister.com

Pam Beasley has investigated seven oil spills in Allen County the past 16 months, with two of them occurring Monday. “We had three last year and this one (three miles southwest of Iola) is the second one today,” Beasley said late Monday afternoon. The other spill earlier in the day happened when a coupling broke on a line along old U.S. 169 about three miles south of Humboldt. Beasley has a role in investigating the oil spills through her involvement with the Local Emergency Planning Commission and as Allen County’s emergency man-

agement director. Neither spill was extraordinary, but when oil escapes from tank, line or well, a report must be made to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. Oil that threatens the environment must be cleaned up. Iola firefighters Eric Lawrence and Kenny Powell were dispatched with the department’s hazardous materials response unit soon after the spill southwest of Iola was reported. The firefighters walked a ditch along an adjacent county road and noticed oil had flowed in small amounts to about 50 yards south of a tank battery. The dike surrounding the battery, designed to keep spilled oil in check, had a pool several inches deep impounded, Vol. 115, No. 125

from production owned by Roxanna Pipeline. With rainy weather forecasted, the decision was that dikes should be erected in the ditch to keep the oil from escaping farther south and perhaps even threatening feeder streams of the Neosho River. Tom Stranghoner, who lives nearby, was mildly alarmed by leaking oil. He has a water well 150 yards or so south of the tank battery. The dikes were constructed of screenings and hauled to the site in county Public Works Department trucks. Lease employees promised to clean up the oil and take measures to ensure no more would escape, Beasley said. The spill south of Humboldt involved production owned by a Texas company.

The word “elk” may be a fairly common term, but to be a member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks takes an uncommon commitment to civic duty. The club, nearing 1 million members in the United States, was founded in 1868 by a group of actors in New York — they were simply looking to start a social club for people with common interests. “But, a social club without a good foundation would not last,” said Mike Jewell, a long-term member of the local organization, chapter 569, and current member of the Elks’ board of trustees. Civic service and volunteering are the keystones of Elks. The Iola chapter was founded in 1900. Their first member was Frederick Fun-

ston. As a kid, Jewell said he would peer through the doors of the Elks’ lounge, located just off the square on Jefferson Avenue. Though he would beg to be let through the doors, his father would always reply, “not until you’re initiated.” Jewell is a third generation in the Iola chapter, including his father, Bob, and his son, Jacob. Jewell said the local chapter is heavily involved in the community, though rarely in the spotlight. The Elks have several ongoing programs, all funded by members’ dues. Meals served at the Elks’ lounge twice a week, on Friday and Tuesday, also raise funds that go to community programs. “That money is going to a baseball team, or a homeless See ELKS | Page A2

Rain slows planting WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Several days of rain have been a mixed blessing for Kansas farmers and ranchers. Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service said Monday the past week’s rain halted early corn planting in eastern

sections. Corn planting is only 5 percent complete statewide, far behind the lateApril average of 20 percent. But the agency also reports the much-needed moisture is helping replenish farm ponds and soil moisture.

The “See, Hear Iola!” program will be at 10 a.m. Friday at the New Community Building in Riverside Park. Mark Cooper, plant manager at Gates, will be the featured speaker.

preserving a heritage,” he said. “It’s one of the best moves we have ever made.” The Elks have seen several changes over the years, some for the better and some for the worse. From 1980 to 2012, the state of Kansas lost 10 lodges due to lack of funding and membership. “It’s not cool to be a part of something these days, you have to stand out in the crowd,” Jewell said. “Those people are missing something.” Things are beginning to turn around, however. Jewell said the organization has shown a growth of eight members over the past year. One of the new members is Brenda Beth, the current head of the kitchen committee. Beth said she was approached by several members to join and her acceptance “was very heartfelt.” Beth is in charge of cooking the meals twice a week in the lounge for

shelter,” he said. The Elks fund many different events around the area, along with programs of their own. Every Christmas the members deliver gift baskets to families in need. They are also helping to fund the upcoming Allen County Animal Rescue Facility open house. THE CURRENT exalted ruler, Brenda Buck, is the second female to hold the position, after Jewell’s wife, Christina Ramirez. Buck said volunteers are the foundation of the Elks. “If it weren’t for the volunteers and people who care, we wouldn’t be the great organization that we are today,” she said. Being a female exalted ruler is nothing to scoff at either, women were not allowed into the Elks until the early 1990s. Jewell said the change has been nothing but positive. “It was more about

members and their families. ON THE OTHER end of the spectrum, Mo Moyer, lounge manager, had helped in the lounge long before she ever became a member. She started as a waitress in 1979, and didn’t become a member for 30 years, in 2009. But, she said she is indebted to the Elks. “I put my kids through college on this job,” she said. Now she is in charge of making sure members feel they can come to the lounge to relax. “This is their home away from home,” Moyer said. The generosity does not end with the members. Moyer said the Elks have always done their best to help those in need or down on their luck. “The generosity of every Elk member is enormous. If you need help, we are here to help,” Moyer said.

In the end, helping is what it is all about, Jewell said. “You have no idea how good it can feel to help,” he said. Now, more than ever, the Elks are working hard to make a positive impact in the community, and hoping to do so with even more members for 2013. Buck said the volunteer program always exceeds expectations, and she loves to see it grow. “It makes you proud to say, I am an Elk.” THE IOLA chapter of the Elks will be hosting Lakefest this summer at the Elks Lake, south of Iola. It will be the first time the event will be open to the public. Proceeds will be directed to Elk programs in the community. Be sure to check The Register for updates on coming events. “We don’t try to gain any publicity for the things we do,” Jewell said. “People don’t really know about them.”

H Humboldt Continued from A1 Dream Humboldt committees meet

The Housing Action and Business Action Teams, divisions of Dream Humboldt, met April 16 continuing efforts to address an economic development and housing plan locally. A report listing tax appraisal information for the houses currently for sale (in Humboldt) revealed most sales prices exceeded the tax appraisals by 20-70 percent and reflected a gap between bank appraised and full market value of the homes. Chris Bauer, Sunny Shreve and Larry Tucker attended the Allen County Economic Development Advisory Housing meeting, hosted by Thrive Allen County in Iola and agreed by consensus to pursue a survey on housing needs in the County. Plans are being made to meet with the Kansas Department of Commerce and the Kansas Housing Resource Corporation in Topeka to go over the HAT recent Housing Assessment Tool and the need for housing.

Judy Middendorf hosted the April 15 meeting of GALS FCE in her home, where 18 members answered roll call with their favorite leftover meal. Glenna Wulf reported on the county council plans to take part in the Allen County Farmers Market, Iola, and the upcoming Recognition Day May 8 in Columbus. Other reports included president Terry Butts on the recent Spring Tea, where GALS was awarded a gold seal (club’s 33rd) and recognized for first place in the leadership category of the educational project. Norma Cramer reported on Spring Story Hour, stating 23 three- to five-yearold children attended the first session and 27 attended the second session. GALS will be responsible for guard duty in open class at the Allen County Fair on July 31 and will enter a fair booth. A committee to construct the booth was appointed.

Members agreed to continue participation in the summer ball concession work schedule. The vice president reported 35.5 hours volunteered in combination with club work. Amanda Ames presented the lesson, “Cook Once, Eat for a Month,” noting the process could be divided into seven steps: choose recipes, make a list of needed ingredients, write a shopping list, go shopping, prepare the food, plan a cooking day and enjoy the results. The goal for this method of cooking is beneficial to save money, healthier meals and encourages families to eat together. Hoe and Hope

The Hoe and Hope Garden Club met April 2 with Judy Arbeiter as hostess. Members answered roll call by telling what was blooming in their gardens. It was voted to conduct a gas meter decorat-

ing contest in May, hold a plant sale at the pocket park during the citywide garage sale and to give away marigolds at the Allen County Farmers Market later in the spring. Ellery Robertson and June Stipp will install solar lights at the Humboldt sign on Highway 224 and the group was reminded of the June 8 Neosho River Park dedication. Robertson expressed his gratitude to the group for selecting him as volunteer of the year. It was pointed out that the grassy area at the pocket park needs to have broad-leaf killer applied and rock placed under the second of two park benches. Mary McCullough reported having trimmed the honeysuckle and placing rock under one of the park benches. Robertson and McCullough said they have tomato plants and herbs to share. Bev Miller told about the proper dates to plant garlic. Arbeiter presented a program of garden tonics and soil amendments using natural ingredients found in the home. Historical society

Kansas budget a runaway train headed to disaster $15.2 million less. Those kinds of cuts have drastic results. For the University of Kansas, the most likely victims are its medical school’s new campuses in Wichita and Salina. The four-year Wichita program, expanded in 2011, would retract to two years. The new school of medicine in Salina would close. The number of overall medical students would be reduced by 36 and another 50 nursing students would be cut. The cuts would “seriously impair our ability to educate leaders, build healthy communities and make discoveries that change the world,” said KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little. Kirk Schulz, president of Kansas State University, said the cuts “really kill any aspirations on campus.” Steve Scott, president at Pittsburg State University, said the cuts would mean about $3 million less for PSU, or the equivalent of 30 faculty positions. For Fort Hays, the cuts signal administrators need to go back to square one in their efforts to start an engineering school. It’s better to scrap the program and use their resources to maintain what they have, despite the growing need for engineers statewide. from Kansas universities to prospective industries is to look elsewhere for prospective employees because, unfortunately, we can offer only second-rate educations. Of all fields, education has a cause-and-effect relationship. You get what you pay for. And the message to our kids and educators? You’re not worth investing in. — Susan Lynn THE

MESSAGE

Compromise needed Federal lawmakers dodged the hot-button issue of immigration reform far too long. Most everyone would agree that change is in order. But the issue became so divisive in recent years that it was easier from a political standpoint to avoid taking a stand that may be right, but unpopular with some Americans seeking a more heavy-handed approach. A lack of meaningful action in Congress even led policymakers in some states — Kansas included — to consider their own ways to address those who entered the country illegally. So, it’s encouraging to see real steps toward reform at the federal level, where immigration policies should be addressed. A new, bipartisan immigration bill out of the U.S. Senate would overhaul the immigration system by ushering in new visa programs for lowand high-skilled workers, requiring a tough new focus on border security, instituting a new requirement for all employers to check the legal status of their workers, and installing a path to citizenship for 11 million immigrants in the country illegally. More emphasis would be placed on employment opportunities, and hopefully address labor needs in places like western Kansas, where dairies and feedlots are

among businesses that rely on immigrant workers. Not surprisingly, criticism of the Senate bill came from both sides of the aisle. But if there’s to be meaningful change, no one will get everything they want. They’ll have to compromise. And therein lies the problem. Too many lawmakers — especially in the U.S. House — have an all-or-nothing approach, the kind of thinking that has hindered progress in Washington, D.C., and statehouses nationwide. Unfortunately, First District Rep. Tim Huelskamp, R-Fowler, and others of the hyper-partisan tea-party persuasion have resisted any compromise with those outside their circle. They should know illegal immigration and its fallout aren’t Republican or Democratic problems. They’re national problems. Critics on both sides should embrace the need for a bipartisan plan to move toward comprehensive reform that would deliver reasonable controls on immigration along with strategies to address labor needs. At least some in Congress have acknowledged as much, and deserve support as they move toward long overdue immigration reform. — The Garden City Telegram

Mistrust in gov’t. defeated gun control By DAVID LIGHTMAN McClatchy Newspapers

WASHINGTON — Why is it so hard for even the most modest gun control effort to succeed? The easy answer is the power of the gun lobby, but the obstacles are far more complex. Growing numbers of people distrust Washington. A deeply rooted gun culture sees big government as a threat to its security, not to mention its constitutional rights. Members of Congress from conservative areas are well aware that votes on gun control, even in baby steps, are politically perilous. Gun control advocates thought their task would be so different this week. President Barack Obama was making a passionate, heartfelt pitch unlike almost any he’d made before during his presidency. A congressional colleague, former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., who was severely wounded during the Tucson shootings two years ago, visited the Capitol to make her plea. Families of recent shooting victims visited senators and watched them vote. But what began as an energetic effort to finally get something new on the books wound up in defeat after defeat, and on Thursday the bill was pulled. There’s no telling when it will return or what might change if it does, because switching votes is going to require changing some profoundly held views. The biggest hurdle is overcoming the long-simmering, ever-growing public fear that government is too intrusive and incompetent. That attitude almost scuttled the 2010 health care law, as people resented government forcing them to buy coverage. People also became concerned that “death panels” would be created to determine who’d live or die. They weren’t, but Republicans have tried nearly three dozen times to repeal the law, which will require nearly everyone to obtain health insurance next year or pay a fine. More government intrusion, they say. The resistance to more gun control follows a similar pattern. “There certainly is an erosion of trust and confidence in the competence of government,” said Sen.

And when gun control advocates try even to tinker with gun laws, they tinker with what Sen.

Kansas is on track to be in debt, according to Gov. Brownback’s numbers. The official budget division released its dire projections last week. Current spending has us $64 million in the hole; and a whopping $545 million in the red for fiscal year 2015. A combination of tax cuts and lower income taxes has created the funding gap. In making up the difference, the two Kansas houses of government and the governor have different answers. The Kansas Senate proposes retaining the sixtenths of a cent sales tax hike implemented three years ago. The governor wants that as well as eliminating the mortgage interest deduction on tax forms. The Kansas House wants neither of the above, and favors doing away with a broad swath of tax deductions. None of the plans right the sinking ship of a budget and promise to plunge Kansas education and social services off the deep end. If passed, the Senate’s plan overall would still require $36.8 million in cuts to the current budget, while the House plan leaves the number crunchers $76.5 million short for 2014. At stake is our state’s reputation not only as to how well it takes care of its own, but also how well prepared it is for the future. Take higher education. Currently, the Senate has proposed a 2 percent cut and the House a 4 percent cut to Regents universities and colleges. The House’s plan equals a loss of $29 million in operating dollars and $10 million in salary cuts. The Senate version would result in

‘Where does this end?’” Add to this mix some raw politics. Of the five Democrats who voted against expanded background checks, three face difficult re-elections next year: Montana’s Max Baucus, Alaska’s Mark Begich and Arkansas’ Mark Pryor. North Dakota’s Heidi Heitkamp, whose state Obama lost last year by nearly 20 percentage points, joined them. So did Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, though he voted no only for procedural reasons. While polls suggest that the senators’ re-elections probably won’t be won or lost on gun issues, gun interests are well-heeled and offer a simple explanation as to why the background check plan was misguided.

Timing is crucial when practicing weed control If you haven’t noticed, we seem to have a good crop of dandelions, henbit and chickweed this year. I have seen some yards in the area that literally have more weeds than fescue grass growing. It is possible to get these weeds under control, but timing is crucial. Dandelion control is recommended for the fall. However, research conducted by Purdue University has shown that good control can be achieved with a herbicide application during or soon after the first flush of flowers. Simply put, right now. Combination product containing 2,4-D, MCPP and dicamba should be used. Trade names of products containing these herbicides include Trimec, Weed Out, Weed-BGon and Weed Free Zone. If there are only a few dandelions present, consider doing a spot treatment rather than a blanket applica-

tion. Use caution when spraying as ornamental plants are very sensitive to drift from these herbicides. If you are worried about damaging ornamentals, wait until next November to put down herbicide. Early November is the most effective time to control broadleaf weeds. Dandelions produce a flush of new plants in September and are easily controlled with the previous mentioned herbicides. Henbit and chickweed is another nuisance weed during this time of year. Henbit is the plant with the little purple flowers that started appearing in lawns a few weeks ago. Though it actually comes up in the fall, most people

Assessing health risks of flame retardants is difficult By MICHAEL HAWTHORNE

Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO — As the Obama administration launches a broad investigation of flame retardants used in furniture and other household goods, the nation’s top environmental regulators are running into the limitations of a federal law that makes it practically impossible to ban hazardous chemicals. Even assessing the health risks of some of the flame retardants will be difficult, officials say. The 1976 Toxic Substances Control Act, the only major environmental law that hasn’t been updated since it was enacted, allows chemical manufacturers to skip evaluating the safety of their products before putting them on the market. So little is known about 16 of the 20 flame retardants targeted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that officials say they will be

forced to estimate potential hazards by running computer models and comparing them with similar chemicals, not by analyzing actual health and safety studies. The law also gives manufacturers broad powers to conceal the names and physical properties of chemicals as trade secrets. As a result, four flame retardants on the EPA’s list are identified only as “Confidential A,” “Confidential B,” “Confidential C” and “Confidential D” in the agency’s public documents. EPA officials are legally barred from sharing information about those chemicals with other federal agencies, independent scientists, state health departments and the public. James Jones, the EPA’s top chemical safety official, said the dearth of information highlights the need for sweeping reform of the law.

don’t pay much attention to this weed until it starts to flower. Chickweed is pale green and best characterized by its small, egg or teardropshaped leaves. Chickweed flowers are white with five split petals, so it appears to actually have ten petals. Trying to kill henbit and chickweed in the spring with a herbicide is usually a waste of time and money. Granted, a herbicide application now will “burn” it back, but it won’t kill it. Remember, both henbit and chickweed are winter annuals — they come up in the fall and mature in the spring and die as soon as it gets hot. All that can be done now is keep them mowed until nature takes it course. To gain control over henbit and chickweed, just like dandelions, spray in the fall to help out the following spring. Both germinate in early fall and overwinter as juvenile plants so

New agent joins Erie Extension office My name is Jennifer Murphy and I am the new K-State Research and Extension 4-H youth development agent for the Southwind Extension District. The Southwind Extension District serves Allen, Bourbon, and Neosho Counties, and my office is located in the Erie Office in Neosho County. Working with youth is a passion for me. I appreciated the opportunity to work as a children’s aid for two different mental health centers, while in college. And, after earning a bachelor’s degree in family and consumer sciences at Pittsburg State University, I accepted a position as a child/adolescent case manager for the mental health service provider. In working within the community, I had an opportunity to get better acquainted with extension, and learned more about serving as a 4-H agent while working as a

4-H program assistant in the Wildcat Extens i o n District w i t h i n Jennifer Murphy the past year. I am excited about the new opportunity to work with youth, families and communities in our Extension District because I feel that research-based educational 4-H programs can provide youth with the essential elements of belonging, mastery, independence and a sense of leadership, citizenship and service.

a herbicide application in late October to early November can go a long way to eliminate them. During that time, the plants will be small and relatively easy to control. Here again, 2,4D, Weed-B-Gon, Weed Free Zone, Weed Out or Trimec can be used. Early spring weed control in warm-season grasses such as Bermuda or zoysia should be approached with caution. Applications of broadleaf herbicides can be safe on warm-season grasses, but only if the grass is fully dormant. Application must be avoided if the turf has already started to break dormancy. New spring shoot growth is tender and application at this time can delay spring green-up or even cause long-lasting injury to the turf. I am in the Iola Extension office each Tuesday.

H Council Continued from A1 years, Bill Shirley, who also served many years as a city council member. Iola’s new mayor took the opportunity to proclaim April 22 as Bill and Roberta Shirley Day in Iola, as the assembled crowd rose to their feet in applause. Scott Stewart, who recently accepted a position with city of Iola code services, is ineligible for his seat and will be honored at the next council meeting. There are currently two open seats on the council, those of Stewart’s and Mike McKinnis. Applications are available at Iola City Hall for the positions. From those, Mayor Wicoff will select two candidates to be voted on during the next council meeting on

May 6. MIKE FORD, a police officer with Iola, came before the council to voice his opposition of some proposed changes that may be made to the city personnel handbook. Under the proposed changes, accumulated time may be used only as compensatory vacation time for a total of three shifts before being required paid overtime. Ford said many employees exceed these limits — 24 hours for eight-hour shifts, 36 hours for 12hour shifts and 72 hours for 24-hour shifts — very quickly and would prefer the time off compared to paid overtime. Ford said the policy change would come based on concerns that employees could ac-

cumulate many hours of compensatory time, then leave their position and be reimbursed financially. However, he said the department heads have the option to regulate how the hours will be used if need be, and he believes the system is not being abused as it is. Council member Steve French echoed Ford’s stance, saying he “tends to lean towards time off ” when managing how his overtime hours are distributed. The personnel handbook changes will be brought before the council in the next city council meeting for official approval. In other business:

A Level 4 infraction would be criminal violations, possession of weapons or dangerous material and assault and battery. Fifteen points would subject the student to long-term suspension or expulsion. At the time a student receives six points, Sample will conduct a behavior intervention including a conference of administrators, student and parents, and the student’s behavior will then be monitored. At eight points, the student would lose school privileges, such as attending school dances, school activities and field trips. Sample used a model that was used at Gardner school district, where he previously worked. School districts such as Anderson County use similar point systems. Sample said he has already been conducting behavior interventions

and the results are positive. “Once I have a behavior intervention with a student they are no longer a consistent problem,” Sample said. Good behavior will also be recognized, Sample said. Kelly Francis, elementary coordinator, Angie Linn, curriculum director and Sample presented the positive behavior support plan. “Instead of saying don’t run down the hall, we would say walk down the hall,” Sample said. This allows the student to understand exactly what is expected of them. They also give class parties at the end of the week and distribute tickets for positive behavior that can be redeemed. The positive behavior support implementation and training will be funded by Greenbush and by the recent $1.3 million grant SAFE BASE received. BOWLUS FINE Arts Center director, Susan Raines, and band direc-

tor Matt Kleopfer, approached the board for approval of band room upgrades. Some of the upgrades, which if approved would take place over the next two summers, would include removing the permanent risers and replacing the flooring during the first summer, and upgrading acoustics, building additional storage and building an additional set of double doors in the rear wall of the room. The Friends of the Bowlus has given $20,000 to the project. The school district would be responsible for the rest of the costs. The approval was tabled until bids have been made and a dollar value was official. DIRECTOR of operations, Scott Stanley, received approval on a bid from Solid State Communications to repair the high school’s intercom system. The bid was priced at $24,714.85, which came in lower than for what they had budgeted.

Consistency was the name of the game Monday for Iola High’s golf team. With four players finishing in the top nine individually, the Mustangs were able to coast to the team victory at the Buck Quincy Invitational. Iola’s team score — consisting of its top four individual marks — of 165 was 16 strokes better than runner-up Anderson County. Osawatomie was third at 194. Individually, Iola’s Kaden Macha took third with a 38,

followed by Shane Walden in fifth at 41, Drake Dieker at eighth with a 42 and Adam Peterson in ninth with a 44. Two other Iolans were just behind. Weston Hines finished 11th with a score of 45, while Matt Jacobs took 13th with a 47. Monday’s competition was pared to nine holes because of an afternoon thunderstorm that delayed the start by about an hour. Humboldt High’s golfers also competed, finishing seventh as a team with a 209. Robbie Sellman’s 41 tied

with Walden for fifth, although Sellman was relegated to sixth through a tie-breaker. Rhett Smith’s 44 placed him in 10th, because of a tie-breaker with Peterson. Tanner Porter’s 60 placed him 36th. Conner Roseberry finished 39th with a 64. Iola coach Doug Kerr said the Mustangs have been able to stay competitive despite miserable weather conditions that have greatly hampered his team’s practice time. “With baseball or softball, you can practice indoors,” See GOLF | Page B2

even after a track official’s error inadvertently slowed his progress. Plumlee was mistakenly stopped after his seventh lap, because officials thought he had completed eight circuits. He stopped at the finish line for a few seconds before his father, Brandon Plumlee, noted the error and convinced his son to continue. The hesitation made no difference in the final tally. Plumlee still beat his nearest competitor by nearly 43 seconds. Plumlee completed his double-gold day by winning the 1600-meter run with a time of 5:11.98. Iola’s Olivia Taylor took gold in the seventh-grade girls’ 1600, with a mark of 6:07.25, while Dayton Ryherd won the seventh-grade boys’ 100-meter hurdles in 18.30 seconds. The seventh-grade boys also were quickest in a pair of relays. Isaac Vink, Bryce Andrews, Cale Barnhart and Nick Peterson teamed to win the 4x200-meter relay with a time of 2:03.38. Ryherd, Vink, Barnhart and Nick Vaughn teamed to win the medley relay in 2:12.02. Marmaton Valley Junior High’s Kyla Drake also took home a pair of golds.

Yates Center, Humboldt athletes rake in medals FREDONIA — Yates Center and Humboldt High’s track teams had several solid performances Friday at the Fredonia Relays. The Wildcat girls finished seventh as a squad with 36 points, while the boys finished eighth with 30 points. Humboldt’s girls finished 14th with four points, while the boys were 13th with 12 points. The Cubs sent only a handful of athletes to Fredonia. Others were in Lawrence for the Kansas Relays. “Our kids did a great job and had a very good showing at a large meet with many larger teams there,” Yates Center track coach Dan Berg said, noting more than 20 schools were invited.

Mindi Holloway won the 800-meter run with a time of 2 minutes, 36.85 seconds before returning minutes later to anchor the Wildcats’ 4x400meter relay team, which also won gold. Holloway ran with Paige Steinforth, Katelyn Hatch and Ashley Pringle with a time of 4:29.48. Yates Center’s Ceaton Cooper took second in the 400-meter dash with a time of 52.78 seconds. Steinforth cleared a personal best mark of 5 feet to take second in the girls high jump. “Ceaton and Mindi both gave gutsy performances, while both of our 4x100 relay teams did very well. Our 4x400 relay teams have really outdone themselves this year, and Friday was no

exception. “The boys’ 4x400 team battled to the finish line and just came up a little short,” Berg said. “It was a thrilling race to watch.” Drake Busteed, Miles Dice, Caleb DeNoon and Cooper teamed to claim the silver medal in the boys’ 4x100 with a time of 3:47.22 “Drake ran his best 1600 in that race and is progressing nicely,” Berg said. Hatch was disqualified in the 100-meter hurdles for a false start, but rebounded nicely to take fifth in the 300-meter hurdles with a time of 53.24 seconds. “She had a really strong race,” Berg said. “We are looking forward to our next meets to continue the improve-

ment for all of our athletes,” Berg said. “We appear to be getting better as we move along in this strange weather season.”

“Jimmy pitched a great game,” Scharff said. “We put the bat on the ball, but couldn’t find any holes. It seems like we hit right at them every time, and they made plays. We had a couple base running errors that cost us a run or two. We played hard the entire game, and couldn’t pull it out.”

Cole Becker and Chris Bowman each had singles and RBIs for the Wildcats, while Sage Hall and Ryan Smith each had singles and runs. Keagan Boyd went 2-for-3 with a pair of singles. Marmaton Valley led 4-0 after one inning, but struggled the next six, Scharff noted.

“We looked like we would roll right through them,” Scharff said. “We had one horrific inning, where we walked a few batters and threw the ball all over the field, making mistake after mistake. They got some timely hits with people on base.” Marmaton Valley looked to respond in the

In Monday’s opener, Wildcat starting pitcher Jimmy Frye kept Northeast under control, striking out 12 in 7 1/3 innings, with two walks and four hits.

It’s about all you can do. “Are we playing as good as we’re capable?” he asked. “Probably not. But are we playing as well as we can with the practices we’ve had? Definitely. They’ve exceeded expectations considering how much practice we’ve missed.”

Soccer Club comes up short Iola Soccer Club could not convert on numerous scoring opportunities in the first half Sunday. Meanwhile, visiting Coffeyville scored twice in the second half to defeat Iola 2-0. Iola Soccer Club is a 14-and-under traveling

team. “I counted seven scoring opportunities,” against Coffeyville, Iola coach Brek Ulrich said. “We just couldn’t get anything in the net.” Iola had one shot zoom over the cross bar, while another was just out of

the goalie’s reach before crashing into the cross bar. Another solid shot hit the side post. Still two other shots on goal in the first half were corralled by Coffeyville’s goalie. Iola heads to Coffeyville Sunday.

Rain leads to unusual accident WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Wichita police say rain and speed contributed to an accident that left four emergency responders and a driver with minor injuries. Police say two firefighters and two paramedics were helping a driver up a hill after a car had gone into a ditch in front of Newman University late Monday. Police Lt. Mike Hennessey says the driver

of a second car lost control at the same spot. The car spun around, hit a concrete wall and then hit the emergency crews and the first driver, knocking them all back down the hill. All five were taken to the hospital, but the injuries were mostly cuts and bruises. Hennessey says rain, poor visibility and speed were factors in the accidents.

Human trafficking law signed By JOHN MILBURN Associated Press

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Gov. Sam Brownback signed a new law Monday designed to strengthen efforts in Kansas to combat human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation of young women. The governor was joined by Attorney General Derek Schmidt and other victim advocates during the event, saying the new provisions will provide increased criminal penalties and services for victims of sexual exploitation. The law takes effect July 1. “This will not only strengthen our ability to severely punish traffickers, it will give us valuable new tools to protect vulnerable young victims so they can have hope of a new life and break a cycle of exploitation,” Brownback said. The bill creates the crime of commercial sexual exploitation of a child, covering those ages 14 to 17. It also makes other modifications to Kansas human trafficking laws passed nearly a decade earlier. Commercial sexual exploitation would be a felony punishable with a minimum 25-year prison sentence if the victim is under age 14 and would have to register for life as a sexually violent offender. Fines of up to $5,000 would be collected and used to fund victim treatment services. The attorney general’s office said prosecutors would still have the latitude to use the state’s existing rape laws in prosecuting the crimes involving victims under the age of consent, but the new law elevates the severity of punishment for purchasing sexual relations. For example, under the old law, someone convicted of purchasing sex with a 17-year-old faced

a misdemeanor charge with presumptive probation. That changes now to felony conviction with a sentencing range of 50 to 55 months in prison and fine of up to $5,000.

and young people. “I think ultimately this law will help decrease the risk of young people in Kansas to be trafficked. I think this sends a message to perpetrators in

“ I think ultimately this law will help de-

crease the risk of young people in Kansas to be trafficked. I think this sends a message to perpetrators in our state ‘not in our state, not our children.’ — Karen Countryman-Roswurn

“Another piece of it is to start changing the conversation, the nomenclature of how we talk about these crimes,” Schmidt said. “At the end of the day, every child who becomes a trafficking victim is just that, a victim of a crime. Although they may have engaged in conduct that is of itself is against the law, that’s a byproduct.” Supporters said the changes addressed a gap in Kansas laws that offered less protection to young women. Those age 13 and under would be covered by the state’s Jessica’s Law, which carries a mandatory 25 years in prison for those convicted of the crime. The bill will establish a fund that will be financed with fines and forfeiture of property from those convicted of the sex crimes. The revenue will be used to pay for treatment and services for the victims of the crimes. Karen Countryman-Roswurm, executive director of the Wichita State University Center for Combating Human Trafficking, said she hoped the center would be at the forefront of providing training and resources to law enforcement and social service agencies who will work with victims

our state ‘not in our state, not our children.’ That decreases the risk,” she said. Schmidt, a former Republican Senate majority leader, joined Brownback in January in proposing the human trafficking changes. Brownback worked on federal trafficking laws in the U.S. Senate with the late Minnesota Democratic Sen. Paul Wellstone. Efforts to increase penalties for human trafficking have been in the works for about two years, Schmidt said, building on the work of his predecessors in the attorney general’s office to raise the issue’s profile. The attorney general said it was difficult to know the extent of human sex trafficking, since often it is a crime that takes place in the shadows, but affects all regions of the state. He has argued that with the new law that Kansas would be a more active partner in cracking down on the crimes under the new legislation. “This is the first comprehensive anti-human trafficking law in Kansas history. As we have throughout our state’s history, Kansas today took another positive step in the struggle for human dignity,” Schmidt said.

Woman confronts loose tiger SALINA, Kan. (AP) — A central Kansas woman likely won’t remember her first circus for the clowns or performances — it’ll be the tiger in the bathroom. The big cat had escaped briefly after its turn in the ring Saturday at the Isis Shrine Circus in Salina. Staff members blocked off the concourses at the Bicentennial Center as the tiger wandered into the bathroom, where one of the doors was blockaded.

About that time, Salina resident Jenna Krehbiel decided she needed to use the restroom. When she walked in the door that hadn’t been blocked off, she found a tiger standing about 2 feet away, The Salina Journal reported. “You don’t expect to go in a bathroom door, have it shut behind you and see a tiger walking toward you,” Krehbiel said. Chris Bird, manager at the Bicentennial Cen-

ter, said the bathroom was only 25 feet long. “Once she saw the tiger, I’m sure she knew to go the other way,” Bird said. “Overall, it was a scary, surreal moment. I am glad no one was hurt or injured.” The tiger was captured within minutes and returned to its enclosure. Krehbiel, a social worker, said she didn’t scream or run because she is trained to stay calm.

Ceramic pads a wise choice Dear Tom and Ray:

I recently needed to replace my brakes, and the shop sold me on ceramic brake pads. The pads have a lifetime warranty, which is very appealing. I also was told that ceramic pads will generally prevent rotors from warping, eliminating the pulsating affect that one feels when braking with warped rotors. After making the purchase, I’ve been told by several people that ceramic pads wear the rotors more evenly, preventing warping, but they also wear the rotors far more quickly. In your experience, did I save money by going with ceramic pads? Or am I actually spending more money, both up front (on the pads) and down the road (on additional rotors)? — Jared RAY: Here’s the brief, sordid history of brake pads, Jared. The first pads were made out of shoe bottoms. My brother remembers sticking his foot out the door and

dragging his shoe on the road until the car either

Car Talk

Tom and Ray Magliozzi stopped or hit something. TOM: Yeah. That was last week, in my ’78 Fiat! RAY: Brake pads in recent years have been made out of asbestos, other organic materials, semi-metallic materials like steel wool and iron and, most recently, ceramic compounds mixed with copper strands. TOM: Each of these materials had its advantages and disadvantages. For example, asbestos brake pads were nice and quiet, but they caused lung cancer. Nonasbestos, organic pads were safe for humans but didn’t always stop the car very well. Semimetallic pads performed well but made obnoxious brake noises and left black brake dust all over

people’s wheels. RAY: So the current state of the art is the ceramic pad, which seems to balance all of the criteria of brake pads pretty well. It lasts a good long time, stops the car well, dissipates heat quickly, absorbs noise better than metallic pads and leaves a nice, light-colored brake dust that’s a lot less visible and bothersome than the black stuff. TOM: So, you got the right pads, Jared. That’s what we use on our customers’ cars these days, mostly to eliminate complaints about noise and dust. RAY: When ceramic brakes first came out, I remember that the suppliers warned us against using them with cheap rotors, because they are harder than the older, metallic pads — that’s what makes them longerlasting. But rotor makers have caught up, and we haven’t had any problems in recent years. So as long as you’re not buying your rotors from

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health to close the wound. In a few weeks the cut had healed, but to this day a small lump remains on the inside of my lip that feels like a blister. The lump is about the size of a split pea. The lump interferes with my being able to drink from a cup or glass. Since a year has passed since the injury, should this be? What can be done to correct it? — C.R. Answer: This probably is scar tissue, especially if it’s deep inside the lip. However, there are minor salivary

glands that line the inside of the mouth. These can form cysts, which can be drained by a den-

tist or oral surgeon. Your dentist will be able to tell if it’s a drainable cyst. If it’s scar tissue, the scar

a guy in a trench coat who says, “Psssst!” I don’t think you’ll have to worry about excessive rotor wear. TOM: As far as we know, however, ceramic pads do not prevent warping. If you misuse or overheat your brakes, rotors will still warp. It’s possible that the improved heat-dissipation qualities of the ceramic pads may help prevent warping to some degree, but you’re not going to be immune from warped rotors. RAY: You will be immune from black brake dust and ear-splitting brake squeal, though. So congratulations on a wise purchase, Jared. To buy or not to buy — options, that is. Are options worth what you pay for them, or are you better off just going with the basics? Order Tom and Ray’s pamphlet “Should I Buy, Lease, or Steal My Next Car?” to find out.

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 fivestar puzzle.
