HEALTHY INITIATIVE Longtime Register voice dies

Students participate in Kansas Kids’ Fitness Day

Area third-graders came together Tuesday afternoon for Kansas Kids’ Fitness Day — an initiative meant to promote health and reduce the obesity epidemic in the state’s schools. The statewide event, started by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, had

nearly 20,000 students participating across the state. One of the local organizers of the event, Jacki Chase, said the day is meant to have fun and keep kids exercising. “We really just want to encourage kids to be more active,” she said.

Road upgrade sought

ACH board makes key purchases

By BOB JOHNSON bob@iolaregister.com

Pat Spencer told Allen County commissioners Tuesday morning 2200 Street, on which she lives, is a popular route for motorists. She thinks the road should be improved. “You’ve talked about it for years and told me it was high on your priority list,” Spencer said, in an effort to have commissioners take action. Traffic volume is high with not only cars and pickups, but also semitransports and other heavy trucks, she said. The road runs south from See ROAD | Page A5

As construction progresses at the new Allen County Hospital, the Board of Trustees approved proposals that will fund key equipment. Trustees Tuesday evening approved tentative purchase of a CT scanner, a telephone system and telemetry equipment. These decisions came following an optimistic construction update that, despite recent rains, reported the majority of exterior cement work finished and the building process on track. David-Paul Cavazos, head of radiology at ACH, suggested options for the purchase of a CT scanner. The board approved a GE 32/I-64 Slice Optima machine at a five-

year lease cost of $661,430. The higher the number of “slices,” the more diagnostic a machine’s scans can be, and, Cavazos said, this machine (which is a 32-slice machine with 64-slice capabilities), will keep the hospital ahead of the curve in technology. The hospital’s current machine, a four-slice machine, was purchased in 2004. “I like this option because it meets all of the goals,” Cavazos said. He said the room at new hospital for the CT scanner is made for a GE machine, and he believes it makes the most sense to buy from General Electric. He said the company is the easiest vendor to work with as well. See ACH | Page A5

South State speed limit raised to 45 By BOB JOHNSON bob@iolaregister.com

Motorists who have railed about having to drive 35 mph when leaving Iola’s city limit on State Street have been heard. Allen County Sheriff Bryan Murphy asked commissioners Tuesday to raise the limit to 45, to mesh with the legal speed south of Elm Creek and on to where the old highway curves east to U.S. 169. There the limit increases to 55 mph. For years the limit was 55 from the city limit on south and was changed in 2010 at the behest of Tom Williams, then sheriff and now a commissioner. His motivation was three traffic fatalities in a short span. “I did it on a guesstimate of

what the speed limit ought to be,” William said.

A voice in Kansas has been silenced. Emerson E. Lynn, Jr., 88, longtime publisher of the Iola Register, died this morning at a hospice facility in Topeka. Lynn was recognized across the state as a distinguished and insightful editorial voice guiding his beloved state of Kansas. Lynn was a regular panelist on the “Kansas Week” public television program that discussed Kansas politics during its run from 1986 to 2000. He was the third publisher of the Register, following the footsteps of his uncle, Angelo C. Scott, and his grandfather, Charles F. Scott, who purchased the paper in 1882. He was at the Register’s helm from 1965 to 2000, when he sold it to his daughter, Susan Lynn. He continued to write editorials for the Register until earlier this year, when it was discovered he had cancer. Mr. Lynn was an enthusiast for life. He loved hiking in the mountains, a good game of tennis, and traveling the world. He relished 59 years of marriage to Mickey, who died on April 6, 2009. He was an avid learner and spent his days reading and writing. He enjoyed excellent health up until these last few months.

“I think the lower speeds have saved lives,” Williams added. “We had a wreck there (since the change) where one car rear-ended another and I think it would have been a fatality with the 55 mile-an-hour speed.” Murphy, who was undersheriff when the change occurred, said he thought a lowSee SPEED | Page A5

Commissioners put off tax abatement decision By BOB JOHNSON bob@iolaregister.com

Toby Shaughnessy’s request for Allen County commissioners to sign off on giving a restaurant he intends to build a tax break wasn’t met with open arms. They won’t decide until next Tuesday’s meeting whether to join Allen Community College, USD 257 and Iola in approving the restaurant’s inclusion in Iola’s Neighborhood Revitalization Program. The program gives participants a 95 percent property tax abatement for five years, with taxes then added in 20 percent incre-

ments the next five years. The county retains 5 percent for administration in collection of taxes. Shaughnessy and his father, Bob, will build a Sam and Louie’s New York Pizzeria near the east entrance to Walmart. It will be a “full-service, sit-down restaurant,” said Toby Shaughnessy. He expects to have 1520 employees, many of them high school and college students. Shaughnessy worked at Papa John’s pizza restaurant while attending Pittsburg State University, where he graduated in 2010, and then managed the restaurant. See TAX| Page A5

No charges in Colony incident COLONY — No charges will be pursued against Walter Michael McGregor, Fort Scott, who wrote a letter delivered by fax Friday morning to the Register and Colony City Hall that contained what authorities feared might be a threat against Crest schools. Anderson County Sheriff Vern Valentine told the Register Tuesday Federal Bureau of Investigation and Bourbon County officers visited McGregor at his home in Fort Scott and deemed he had no intention of harming anyone. Also, they judged he was not physically able to carry out any threat.

Valentine reiterated that the fax was not a direct threat, but was an indication of what might occur. “Law enforcement did treat it as a possible threat,” Valentine said, which led him to contact the FBI and Kansas Bureau of Investigation. Soon after the fax arrived in Colony, City Marshal Bill Goodell placed the school on lock down and put himself and other officers in defensive positions on school grounds. Valentine said all involved in the investigation considered the case closed.

WASHINGTON (AP) — We’re in denial: Americans underestimate their chances of needing longterm care as they get older — and are taking few steps to get ready. A new poll examined how people 40 and over are preparing for this difficult and often pricey reality of aging, and found two-thirds say they’ve done little to no planning. In fact, 3 in 10 would rather not think about getting older at all. Only a quarter predict it’s very likely that they’ll need help getting around or caring for themselves during their senior years, according to the poll by the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. That’s a surprise considering the poll found more than half of the 40plus crowd already have been caregivers for an impaired relative or friend — seeing from the other side the kind of assistance they, too, may need later on. “I didn’t think I was old. I still don’t think I’m old,” explained retired schoolteacher Malinda Bowman, 60, of Laura, Ohio. Bowman has been a caregiver twice, first for her grandmother. Then after her father died in 2006, Bowman moved in with her mother, caring for her until her death in

January. Yet Bowman has made few plans for herself. “I guess I was focused on caring for my grandmother and mom and dad, so I didn’t really think about myself,” she said. “Everything we had was devoted to taking care of them.” The poll found most people expect family to step up if they need longterm care — even though 6 in 10 haven’t talked with loved ones about the possibility and how they’d like it to work. Bowman said she’s healthy now but expects to need help someday from her two grown sons. Last month, prompted by a brother’s fall and blood clot, she began the conversation by telling her youngest son about her living will and life insurance policy. “I need to plan eventually,” she acknowledged. Those family conversations are crucial: Even if they want to help, do your relatives have the time, money and knowhow? What starts as driving Dad to the doctor or picking up his groceries gradually can turn into feeding and bathing him, maybe even doing tasks once left to nurses such as giving injections or cleaning open wounds. If loved ones can’t do all that, can they afford to hire help? What if you no longer can live alone?

Dr. Monfort Says “Travels With My Dog(s)”

Every year, especially in the summer, dogs are included in the “great family vacation” expedition. Usually this is a car trip, often made lively by the inclusion of children, and occasionally will mean an overnight stay in a motel or campground. Here are some tips to make this a fun experience for everyone, inlcuding both the driver and the dog. #1 - Make certain that “Joey (the Rat Terrier)” is accustomed to your vehicle. Take several short local rides that end on a positive note, like a yummy snack. Teach “Paco (the Chihuahua)” to enjoy his pet taxi or seatbelt, and watch for any signs of car sickness. If your pet show signs of car sickness or travel related anxiety, contact your veterinarian for medications to ease the problem. #2 - Dress “Sophie (the Shih Tzu)” in a lovely (or macho) collar, and snappy rabies and ID tags with cell phone numbers. Add a stout leash for those road side walks and attach a roll of “pickup” bags for the necessary stops. Make certain before you load up in the car, that “Shep (the German Shepherd)” knows that it is OK to “make deposits” in areas outside of your yard, and that he can depend on you to clean up behind him. #3 - Pack up some favorite toys, a blanket and any medications, along with familiar food, treats and a jug of local water, so that “Fideaux (the French Poodle)” feels secure in the temporary overnight home. Make sure that the needed flea, tick and heartworm preventatives are in full force before you leave the local area. No need to give a “stranger” parasite ride home. The same is true of vaccinations. You never know what “Rover (the Hound)” will run into out in the big world. Stay safe. #4 - Plan, plan, plan!!!!!! Preplan stops and reserve a room or campsite in pet-friendly facilities. Leave enough time in your schedule to stop for mid-morning and mid-afternoon walks and play breaks. You are going to expect good behavior out of your traveling companion, so let “Scout (the Lab)” burn off some energy during stops. #5 - Think- Do not leave “Sport (the Beagle)” in the vehicle alone. Anxiety and/or heat or cold may lead to an emergency. Consider microchipping your pet in case the unthinkable happens and “Shredder (the Rottie)” takes off for parts unknown. Traveling with your pets can add a fun dimension to many trips. Plan, think and stay safe for a fun “playcation”. Consult the veterinarians at

Financial Focus Is Your Portfolio Truly Diversified? Life is full of ups and downs — and the financial markets are no different. As an investor, you’re no doubt happy to see the “ups” — but the “downs” can seem like a real downer. Isn’t there any way to help smooth out the volatility in your investment portfolio? First of all, to cope with volatility, it’s helpful to know what causes it — and there can be many causes. Computers that make trades in milliseconds, based on mathematical models, are sometimes blamed for intraday volatility, but large price swings can also occur following the release of government economic reports, such as those dealing with unemployment and housing starts. Global events, such as the European economic malaise, can also send the financial markets into a tizzy. By being aware of the impact of these events, you can see that the workings of the markets — especially their volatility — may not be as mysterious as you thought. Still, while knowing the causes of volatility can help you prepare for market swings, it won’t blunt their impact on your portfolio. To do that, you need to create a diversified mix of investments because your portfolio can be more susceptible to negative price movements if you only own one type of asset. To illustrate: If you owned mostly bonds, and interest rates rose sharply, the value of your bonds would likely drop, and your portfolio could take a big hit. But if you owned stocks, bonds, government securities, certificates of deposits (CDs) and other investment vehicles, the rise in interest rates would probably affect your portfolio less significantly. Unfortunately, many investors think that if they own a few stocks and a bond, they’re diversified. But you can actually extend your diversification through many levels — and you should. For the equity portion of your portfolio, try to own stocks representing many market sectors and industries. Also, consider international stocks. And rather than just owning U.S. Treasury bonds, consider corporate bonds and municipal bonds, and diversify your fixed-income holdings further by purchasing short-term, intermediate-term and long-term bonds. Work with your financial advisor to determine the mix of asset classes and investments that are appropriate for your financial goals and objectives. How you ultimately diversify your portfolio depends on your risk tolerance, time horizon and long-term goals — there’s no one “correct” asset mix for everyone. And over time, your diversification needs may change. To cite one example, as you enter your retirement years, you may need to increase your percentage of income-producing investments while possibly reducing the amount of growth investments you own. These growth-oriented investments tend to be more volatile, and you may want less volatility during your retirement. However, even during retirement, you will need to own a certain percentage of growth investments to provide you with the growth potential you’ll need to stay ahead of inflation. Keep in mind that diversification can’t guarantee a profit or protect against loss. Nonetheless, building a diversified portfolio may help take some of the volatility out of investing — so look for diversification opportunities whenever possible.

Weather agencies gird for cuts Midwest awaits retreat of floods NOAA was forced to take a 7 percent cut. But that was more than offset when Congress — as part of a $50 billion relief package in the wake of Sandy — added $476 million to NOAA’s budget, mostly to spare its weather satellites and Hurricane Hunters from sequester cuts. “(But) the satellite line offices within NOAA did have to make the same cuts as the rest of us,” said spokeswoman Ciaran Clayton.

by Superstorm Sandy. Weather-conscious Florida, where a tourism economy depends on the great outdoors, has the most at stake from any gaps in forecasting. Forecasters at Colorado State University have predicted 18 named storms, including nine hurricanes — four major — this year. The average season sees 12 storms, including six hurricanes, three with winds greater than 110 mph. Leaders at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, still consulting with government unions, have proposed that employees take off two unpaid days in July and two more in August, but furloughs can be canceled in an emergency.

keep the Hurricane Hunters flying through this storm season, which begins in June. However, Air Force Reserve flight crews will be forced to take about 14 days of unpaid time off, though they can be put on military status in an emergency. “The storms don’t stop moving west on a furlough day,” said Col. Craig La Fave, vice commander of the 403rd Wing of the Air Force Reserve at Keesler Air Force Base in Mississippi, which includes the Hurricane Hunters. “So we’re going to have to make sure we’ve got enough support personnel and enough flight crews to generate enough tails go out and penetrate these storms.

PEORIA HEIGHTS, Ill. (AP) — Flood-weary residents fortified their homes against the rainswollen Illinois River and considered whether to stand their ground as waterways remained in flood stage across the Midwest. Even as some of the renegade rivers showed signs of cresting, forecasters said the recovery would not be fast or easy. The National Weather Service expected many of the waterways to remain high into next month, straining levees during the river’s expected slow descent. Floodwaters rose to record levels along the Illinois River in central Illinois. In Missouri, six small levees north of St. Louis were overtopped by the surging Mississippi River, flooding mainly farmland. The biggest troubles were in Illinois. Officials in Peoria said the Illinois River finally crested Tuesday, but not without destruction. The river flooded roads and buildings in Peoria Heights, and inundated riverfront structures. Firefighters feared that if fuel from businesses and vehicles starts to leak into the floodwaters, a fire could be sparked in areas accessible only by boat. “That’s our nightmare: A building burns, and we can’t get to it,” Peoria Heights Fire Chief Greg Walters said. “These are combustible buildings, and we have no access to them simply because of the flooding.” About 20 to 30 homes and businesses near the river have been evacuated, he said. Among those still

in their homes was Mark Reatherford. The 52-year-old unemployed baker has lived for decades in the same splitlevel home with a view of a small park and beyond that the Illinois River. But by Tuesday afternoon, as a chilly rain fell, the river had rolled over the park and reached Reatherford’s home, creating a 3-footdeep mess in the basement. He cleared out the basement furniture and was hoping the main floor would stay dry. But he hadn’t dismissed the idea of abandoning his home.

WASHINGTON — The nation’s cash-strapped weather-forecasting system, though partly spared from federal budget cuts known as “sequestration,” is about to get pinched on the verge of a hurricane season expected to be busier than normal. Federal officials say they have the resources to warn storm-prone areas about weather emergencies, but a federal union representative warns that a hiring freeze plus furloughs threaten public safety. Aircraft known as Hurricane Hunters will keep flying into storms to measure wind speed and air pressure, though their flight crews will have to take turns being furloughed. Weather satellites will remain on track, though the offices that monitor them will get squeezed. Officials say they can maintain adequate staffing at the National Hurricane Center near Miami, though its forecasters will be forced to take off four unpaid days by Sept. 30. Staff at the National Weather Service already is depleted because of a hiring freeze. “This could have a detrimental effect on everybody’s public safety,” said Bob Ebaugh, the steward in Miami for the National Weather Service Employees Organization. “Once you start limiting staffing, you start raising the potential for disaster.” He said furloughs could hamper the NWS’ ability to predict wildfire and tornado conditions

during the spring and to pinpoint where storms might hit land during the summer. Citing 250 vacancies throughout the Weather Service, Ebaugh said the agency “saves money from not filling those positions, which just caused more stress on the rest of the employees.” This mix of warnings and assurances comes on the heels of an extraordinary year of storms, flooding, blizzards and droughts — 11 separate billion-dollar disasters in 2012, capped

“You can’t get a better view than what we’ve got here,” he said. But “I’m getting too old to deal with this.” In a nearby neighborhood, retired Caterpillar crane operator Roland Gudat spent much of Tuesday afternoon on his porch swing, looking out with marvel toward the Illinois River that had swamped houses down the street but largely spared his home of 46 years. The 73-year-

old said he had pumped hundreds of gallons of water from his basement that had seeped up from the saturated ground. Gudat remarked that he’d never seen the river so high, but nonetheless he could not tolerate the gawkers who traipsed past his property to stare at the destruction. He and his neighbors placed saw horses in their driveways to prevent the sightseers from using their property to turn around, forcing them to reverse back down the road. “I told them this isn’t a damn cul-de-sac,” he said. “If they knock those saw horses over, I’m gonna turn their keys off and call the cops.” In downtown Peoria, tens of thousands of white and yellow sandbags stacked 3 feet high lined blocks of the city’s scenic riverfront, holding back floodwaters that already surrounded the visitors’ center and restaurants in the 114-year-old former train depot. Across the street, smaller sandbag walls blocked riverside pedestrian access to Caterpillar’s headquarters and the city’s museum. In nearby Chillicothe, more than 400 homes have been affected by the flood, said Vicky Turner, director of the Peoria County Emergency Management Agency. Many homes have been evacuated, but others whose owners have had their buildings raised over the years because of flooding have chosen to stay put, Turner said. “They row back and forth ... up to the main road,” she said.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Governance has its complications Most things to do with democratic governance come in layers. That has a tendency to slow the process and often makes folks wonder why things don’t occur faster than they do — or don’t occur at all. The reason is to protect the governed, and not let the process slip to a dictatorial approach. Case in point is crime and punishment. When a crime occurs citizens have initial responsibility of making a report and being cooperative with officers as evidence and facts are accumulated; then Joe and Jane Citizen should retire and let officers exercise their talents to investigate and draw together pertinent information. Officers construct a case from interviews and observations. Good officers — we’ve some of the best in Allen County and its cities — take their time, make sure no stone is left unturned and then arrange all they have learned in a manner that takes the case to the next layer. The county attorney — or one representing a city — fits the pieces together in a fashion that he thinks

will convince a judge or jury or both that the person arrested has committed the crime. Prosecutors also have the responsibility of not proceeding if the case fails to past muster — isn’t supported by sufficient evidence to give them reason to think the person arrested is guilty of the crime committed. WE ARE a nation of laws and a person arrested is innocent until proven guilty. The unfortunate outcome of arrests and formal charges is that people often equate either to guilt. If a guilty verdict is rendered, anticipation is confirmed; if not, people frequently think the system has failed and that acquittal has exposed flawed prosecution. It is to our advantage that law enforcement officers and prosecutors take their roles very seriously and meticulously go about their business. They recognize checks and balances and are careful to put them into play. The role of citizens is to trust the system and let it play out. — Bob Johnson

Hop into nature Southeast Kansas has much to offer; this weekend is no exception. The Kansas Herpetological Society — members have a fancy for reptiles and amphibians — will gather at Schermerhorn Park near Galena on Friday and spend the weekend hunting, counting and cataloging critters in their annual spring field trip. The event is open to the public and doesn’t cost a red cent. On the serious side, the event will provide information about populations and give those joining the ad-

venture a chance to learn about creatures that slither and hop and crawl. None will be harmed in the process and, except for those kept for research purposes at accredited institutions, all will be freed after examination. Herpetology isn’t for everyone, but it might be a door to a career for a young person interested in the outdoors and what lives there. Also, the field trip would be an excellent time for parent-child bonding in an area more diverse than usual weekend fare. — Bob Johnson

What the fanatics learned in Boston By RALPH PETERS New York Post

The superb work of our law-enforcement officials in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombing ignited a blaze of self-congratulation that obscured the event’s implications. Yeah, we killed one fanatic and nabbed the other. But our dysfunctional system couldn’t prevent this latest Boston Massacre. That carnage was a dirtcheap terrorist triumph. Fanatics will take its lessons to their shriveled jihadi hearts: LESSON No. 1: Two amateur terrorists can paralyze a major American city for days. The Tsarnaev punks generated global headlines, ran up millions in government expenses, punished a major metro-area economy and disrupted society. And now we’ve got a costly civilian trial to come for the surviving brother — with more headlines to inspire copycats. LESSON No. 2: The best weapons against targets in the U.S. are disaffected legal immigrants or radicalized native-born converts to jihad. Political correctness — a pathetic fanaticism of our own — and legal paralysis make it virtually impossible to stop legal residents such as the Tsarnaev brothers before they commit a crime. The FBI questioned Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the elder brother, after the Russians asked us to look into his radicalization. (Moscow’s murky role is another story.) It appears that the agents asked him, Are you a Muslim fanatic? To

which he replied, No. End of investigation. Get inside the red-whiteand-blue tent legally, and you, the terrorist, have a license to kill. LESSON No. 3: Our immigration system is one of terrorism’s best allies. Related to the last point, this is a case of just how idiotic a politically correct bureaucracy can be. The father of the Tsarnaev punks only had to declare himself an asylumseeker afraid for his life in the Russian Federation and our consular officials fell all over themselves to get him to America. Nobody cared that “fearful” Pops retained his Russian citizenship and passport, then voluntarily returned to Daghestan, a jihad-roiled Russian province, to live. Or that his elder son’s dream vacation appears to have been a terrorist training session. If you’re a highly educated, ambitious West European who wants to become an American, your chances are near zero. If you’re a radical Americahater from a hostile region, all you have to do is shout that you’re a political refugee and we’ll give you residency and benefits. There’s no reason that anyone from Chechnya should be granted a U.S. visa. It’s a gangster mini-state (within the Russian Federation) at war with home-grown Islamists. There are no good guys. Chechnya’s sole export besides terror, Chechen mafiosi, make Mexican drug cartels look like Franciscans.

And some of the cruelest jihadis our troops faced in Iraq and elsewhere were Chechens who joined al Qaeda. LESSON No. 4: The more open a society, the more targets it presents. We all failed to see the obvious. Obsessing about attacks on the Super Bowl and other facilitiesbound events, we missed the appeal of public displays, such as marathons, as targets: 26 miles of vulnerability, tens of thousands of (mixed sex, scantily clad!) runners and hundreds of thousands of spectators. We’ve done a good job of protecting hard targets, from stadiums to government offices. But that only deflected the fanatics toward softer targets whose very randomness creates authentic terror. And don’t underestimate the appeal of butchering female athletes, who are almost as terrifying to Islamists as girls in bikinis. You won’t hear that last point from our politically correct authorities or our “experts.” But Freud has more to tell us about Islamist terrorists than any think tank. My suggestion to the feds, if they want to understand why Tamerlan Tsarnaev turned to jihad? Check out this wifebeater’s love life. Scratch a terrorist, find a lonesome perv. Last week, Islamist fanaticism scored a resounding victory on the cheap. The effectiveness of our manhunt didn’t change that.

The family that eats together, stays together JOHN SCHLAGECK Kansas Farm Bureau

When we think of eating a meal today, images of a person dashing toward the door while chomping down the last bite and yelling good-bye, is an all too common picture. But again, that is only part of the story. While some folks have sounded its demise, eating together at the family din-

ner table may not become extinct. Plenty of families still take the time to eat together four or five times a week despite the distractions of work schedules and afterschool activities. Preparing dinner and eating together as a family is important. Having dinner together has been a tradition with many families for countless

generations. It has always been considered a valuable way to keep families together. It’s another way busy parents can communicate with busy children. In the helter-skelter world of the 21st Century, when family members are moving in different directions, it’s more important than ever to make the most of family mealtime. Doing so calls for planning and implementation. One of the first things to do is to turn off the television, put down the smart phones and turn off the computers. Sitting down together to share a meal is a great way for family members to share news and engage in conversation. Turning off distracting electronic devices will make it easier for the family to talk and listen to one another. Look forward to dinner. Having meals together can be a happy memory most people carry from childhood.

Time spent with the family around the dinner table can help keep the family intact. Set a specific time. While many cultures eat their large family meal at midday, Americans typically eat the evening meal together. No matter which meal your family eats together, try to schedule it at the same time each day. That way all family members can plan for the meal in advance. It is important to assign everyone a job. One person should never be responsible for all the meal preparations and cleanup. Assigning each family member a job can make this a true tradition. Historically the family meal has been a way to honor family members who work both inside and outside the home. Every family member should have a special position at the table. Make sure to honor all family members by assigning each his or her own spot at the table, and sit

in the same seats each night. Give special honor to the cook who prepared the meal by complimenting on the food and presentation. Another way to make the evening meal rich with tradition is to develop a unique way to call everyone to the table. Consider a dinner bell to call children in from outside. Letting the family know that dinner is ready may also be a specific assignment. Avoid yelling. Finally, hand this mealtime tradition down to the next generation. Rituals often evolve over the history of a family. Meal traditions you establish now may last long into the future. John Schlageck is a leading commentator on agriculture and rural Kansas.

H Tax Continued from A1 He think that gives him a leg up with the Iola restaurant, which will open in early fall. He also will receive management training from Sam and Louie’s and have company help with its opening. Commissioner Dick Works said he had a problem giving Shaughnessy a tax break when two similar restaurants — Pizza Hut and Corleone’s — were nearby, neither of which received an abatement. Shaughnessy said he had no control over the other restaurants not taking advantage of the revitalization pro-

gram. Bob Shaughnessy stressed that the county would not be out any tax money that comes its way and eventually would reap tax income when the restaurant started to pay. “We need to do all we can to help businesses get started,” the elder Shaughnessy added. “We lost 120 homes (to the flood of 2007) and this will pay taxes in the years to come.” “I’m reluctant for government to pick winners and losers,” said Commissioner Tom Williams, and would rather see a business “succeed or fail on its own mer-

its.” When fully on tax rolls, Toby Shaughnessy said the restaurant would pay $10,000 to $12,000 a year with current levies, with a little over a third going to the county, based on Iola’s total levy of 175 mills and the county’s at 67 mills. Though they philosophically weren’t attune to tax abatements for the restaurant, Works and Williams said they had heard no outcries of opposition. Both said they would quiz constituents before next Tuesday for opinions.

AS COMPLETION of Allen County’s new hospital draws near, what to do with the current hospital becomes more of a concern. “A couple of people have looked at the hospital,” said County Counselor Alan Weber, “but both said they wouldn’t be interested in doing anything until 2014, if at all.” Meanwhile, he and commissioners agreed the building would have to be maintained once it was vacated, to keep it from slipping into disrepair and be less likely to appeal to a buyer.

Emerson Lynn took the helm of the Register in 1965 and owned the newspaper until selling it to his daughter, Susan Lynn, in 2000.

H Speed Continued from A1 er speed was better, but that 45 was slow enough. After some thought, Williams agreed, and made the motion to change the 35 mph zone to 45. It passed unanimously. COMMISSIONERS will decide at next Tuesday’s meeting how much to raise the perton charge for trash deposited at the county’s landfill southeast of LaHarpe. Bill King, director

of Public Works, noted landfill operation expenses had averaged $1.37 million the past three years, while income, from a half-cent sales tax and tipping fees, had averaged about $70,000 a year less. Shortfalls have been made up from reserves. King said he preferred to stay abreast of need by raising fees a little each year rather than waiting several years and then hitting users with a large increase.

The fee was raised 20 cents in 2011, $1 in 2009 and 50 cents in 2008. The per-ton charge for 13 southeast Kansas counties ranges from $24.70 to $26.70; haulers from elsewhere pay $51.20 a ton. Allen County residents are not charged. Last year the landfill took in 31,033 tons, an average of 103 for each of 301 days it was open. IN OTHER action: — The Pregnancy Resource Center was given permission to use

the bandstand to register runners for a fundraising 5-kilometer run on May 11. — Welborn Sales, Salina, had the lowest of three bids at $7,225.40 for about 300 road signs. Most of the signs will be to identify roads, a necessity for emergency responders when they answer 911 calls. — Decorator Supply, Iola, will replace carpet in the LaHarpe Senior Center for $2,130, which was $15 less than a second bid.

proved the purchase of a telephone system and telemetry system as well. A telephone system, at a cost of about $80,000, will be implemented by Kansas Communication Systems, Chanute. “This is our best deal,” Peterson said. “We can get a good sys-

tem and support a local vendor.” Patty McGuffin, ACH chief nursing officer, said a new telemetry system needs to be installed in the new facility at the current stage of construction. Telemetry systems utilize nearly 30 antennas to monitor patient’s heart rate and heart rhythms, along with other basic vital signs. The board approved a letter of commitment with Spacelabs Healthcare for an amount “between $320,000 and $380,000,” McGuffin said. Peterson and McGuffin both said the telemetry systems in the cur-

rent hospital are in dire need of replacement, and would not be able to be transferred to the new building. “It’s our number one need,” Peterson said. The ACH board appointed members to the medical executive committee for the new hospital. They are Dr. Wesley Stone, chief of staff; Dr. Brian Wolfe, credentials chair and vice chief of staff; Dr. Frank Porter, medicine department chair; Dr. Rebecca Lohman, surgery/OB department chair and secretary of treasury; Dr. Earl Walter, at-large member; Dr. Timothy Spears, past chief of staff.

H ACH Continued from A1 Chief Financial Officer Larry Peterson said it was important for the board to take action in order to have the machine in the new building when it opens. “Our goal is to have a machine in place the day we open,” he said. Board members ap-

H Road Continued from A1 U.S. 54 near Gas, has its first mile hard-surfaced, is wider than most county roads and has a high bridge over Elm Creek that means the road doesn’t flood. All those attributes encourage its use, often as a short-cut to elsewhere, and, said Bill King, director of Public Works, probably as a means of avoiding being checked for load weights by the Highway Patrol. “We appreciate your concern, but money is tight right now,” said Commissioner Jim Talkington. Just how tight, chimed in King, is found in road oil — the bonding agent for maintenance and construction — having risen from 32 cents a gallon to well over $2. Even so, “I think a paved road is the way to go,” said King, if improvements were made. He suggested two to three inches of asphalt for the two miles Spencer proposed paving, from

Nebraska to Minnesota, which would cost about $200,000 a mile. “We could chip-seal it and it would be a lot better, but only for a little while,” King said. “The big trucks would beat it to death and pretty soon you’d be unhappy with all the potholes.” Spencer was persistent. She allowed that when U.S. 54 is rebuilt this summer 2200 likely would have even more traffic as motorists used it and others nearby to avoid congestion in construction zones. She recalled utility lines were moved back from the road 10 years when it was widened, leading residents to think hard-surfacing would be the next step. “I know the road gets beat to pieces, but there’s not much we can do to keep the heavy trucks off it,” King said. Kenneth and Marsha Storrer were at the meeting to support Spencer.

H Lynn Continued from A1 to be placed in KPA’s Hall of Fame. He also was awarded the first Clyde Reed editor’s award and the first KPA mentor award. On his 80th birthday, Gov. Kathleen Sebelius presented Lynn a plaque commending him for “a long, distinguished career.” Last fall, Kansas State University’s Huck Boyd Institute recognized Lynn with a Lifetime Achievement Award in Community Newspapers. LYNN began his pub-

lishing career at the Humboldt Union, followed by The Bowie News in Bowie, Texas. He was a graduate of the University of Chicago and attended the University of Melbourne, Australia, on a Rotary scholarship. He served in the U.S. Air Force during World War II. Three sons, Emerson K. Lynn, Michael J. Lynn and Angelo S. Lynn, and his daughter, Susan, and their families, survive, as does a brother, Scott Lynn, Pleasanton, Calif. Memorial services are planned for May 4.

The stations included everything from soccer-goal games to relay races and basketball. The day’s events were moved indoors due to inclement weather. ACC athletes helped supervise and instruct the students.

According to statistics gathered from the KDHE website, in 2009, 13.1 percent of students in the state were considered at-risk of being overweight; 12.4 percent were overweight at the time of the survey. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that children participate in some sort of physical activity for 60 minutes most days, if not daily.

Customers avoid Sprint in first quarter By PETER SVENSSON AP Technology Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — The flow of new customers to Sprint stopped in the latest quarter, the company reported Wednesday as it weighed the offers of two corporate suitors. Sprint Nextel Corp., the country’s third-largest cellphone carrier, said it added a net of just 12,000 customers to its Sprint brand in the quarter, and it would have lost 252,000 if it wasn’t for Nextel customers moving over now that their network is being shut down. The number of new Sprint customers was the lowest for any quarter since 2009, and suggests that CEO Dan Hesse’s carefully engineered turnaround of the company is on shaky ground. There are just 1 million Nextel customers left, raising the question of what Sprint’s subscriber trends will look like when they’re gone. Sprint executives acknowledged that they are losing some customers because the company is behind the other three nationwide carriers when it comes to data download

speeds. It’s building a highspeed “LTE” network, but in the meantime, most customers are stuck on a slow “3G” network. AT&T Inc., the secondlargest phone company, posted weak subscriber numbers on Tuesday. Verizon Wireless, the industry titan, saw strong trends, as did underdog T-Mobile USA, possibly because it just started selling the iPhone. Overland Park, Kan.based Sprint ended March with 55.2 million devices on its network, of which 31.3 million were on contract-based plans, which are the most lucrative. In the short term, having fewer new customers helps a phone company’s bottom line, since it doesn’t have to pay out as much in phone subsidies. Phone companies pay hundreds of dollars in subsidies to put new phones in customer hands for $199 or less. Sprint, which has posted a net loss in every quarter for the last six years, narrowed its first-quarter net loss to $643 million, or 21 cents per share. A year ago, it lost $863 million, or 29 cents per share.

Miami takes 2-0 lead in playoff action By TIM REYNOLDS AP Basketball Writer

MIAMI (AP) — A banner bearing Dwyane Wade’s jersey number hangs in the arena the Milwaukee Bucks call home, in tribute of his days as a standout at Marquette. Suffice to say, he won’t have favorite-son status over the next few days. Wade and the Miami Heat are halfway to advancing in the NBA playoffs after topping the Milwaukee Bucks 9886 on Tuesday night to take a 2-0 lead in the teams’ Eastern Conference first-round series. Wade scored 21 points, LeBron James finished with 19 and the Heat opened the fourth quarter on a 12-0 run to pull away. Now comes a flight to Milwaukee, followed by Game 3 there on Thursday night, when the Heat can take absolute control of the matchup. And Wade is certain that nothing will come easily, not even for the defending NBA champions. “They’re going to come out and play with emotion,” Wade said. “I’ve been in Milwaukee when they’ve had playoff teams. I know that place can get very loud.” So can his current home arena, which roared for 2 minutes in the fourth quarter when the Heat finally shook off Milwaukee’s upset bid. It was 68-65 entering the fourth. With James and four backups on the court, the Heat needed only 2 minutes, 22 seconds to score a dozen unanswered points and stretch the lead to 80-65.

The Miami Heat’s Dwyane Wade goes to the hoop in the fourth quarter against the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 2 of the opening round of the NBA Playoffs Tuesday.

“We held court,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “We protected it for two games. We did what we’re supposed to do. And that’s it.”

Wildcat girls claim first win of 2013 ARMA — Marmaton Valley High’s softball squad picked up its first victory of the season in a slug-fest Monday. Just after losing a heartbreaking 11-8 defeat to host Northeast-Arma in the first game of their doubleheader, the Wildcats bounced back to outscore the host Vikings 16-13. “It was nice to get a win,” Wildcat coach Brenda Mills said. Northeast responded promptly each time Marmaton Valley reached the scoreboard in the opener. The Wildcats scored four in the third to take a short-lived 4-1 lead. Northeast scored four in the bottom of the inning to retake the upper hand. Three more Marmaton Valley runs in the top of the sixth led to lead 7-5 before the Vikings retook an 8-7 lead in the bottom of the frame. The Wildcats’ final salvo came in the top of the seventh to tie score at 8-8. But Northeast scored three to take the win. Makenzie Harrison pitched, allowing four hits and six walks with two strikeouts. Tabitha Ford had a double

and triple for the Wildcats. MaRyiah Cavender, Kacie Shadden, Emily Boyd and Jocelyn Miller each had singles. The hits and runs continued in the second game. Marmaton held a 4-0 lead after its half of the first and 8-2 advantage by the end of the second. Northeast responded with a nine-run third to take an 11-8 lead. The Wildcats cut the gap to 11-10 after five innings and scored six in the top of the seventh to take a 16-11 advantage. Northeast scored twice in the bottom of the inning before Harrison finished off the Vikings for the win. Cavender got the start, allowing two hits and 10 walks in three innings of work with one strikeout. Harrison pitched four innings, allowing six hits with two walks and a strikeout. Ford had two singles for Marmaton Valley. Kaitlin Ensminger singled, while Cavender delivered two singles and a double. Shadden doubled. Ashlynn Pinkerton had three singles. Shauna Knight, Boyd and Harrison had one single apiece.

Chris Bosh, Shane Battier and Chris Andersen all scored 10 points for the Heat. James’ postseason streaks of 22 straight games with

at least 20 points, and 16 straight games of at least 25 points, both came to an end. Ultimately, none of that mattered. “We were able to jump on them,” James said. Ersan Ilyasova scored 21 points for Milwaukee, which got 16 from Mike Dunleavy and 14 from Larry Sanders. The Bucks’ starting guards, Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis, combined for only 15 points — after teaming up to score 48 in Game 1. “It’s a series,” said Sanders, who had a sore right ankle after a collision with Battier in the fourth quarter. “We made progress this game.” They’ll need to make more, and do it quickly. James has never lost in 10 previous series in which his team takes a 2-0 lead, and Wade is 8-0 in that same situation. He was a skinny kid who Miami drafted as a point guard in 2003, a couple months after he took Marquette to the Final Four. Three years later, he became an MVP of the NBA Finals. Now he’s looking for his fourth trip to the title round in eight seasons. To this day, he credits the help he got in Milwaukee for much of his success. “I went to Milwaukee with not a lot of expectations, and I came out of Milwaukee the fifth pick in the draft,” Wade said. “Milwaukee has been special to me. It has helped me get to this point. Going back there in the playoffs is a cool thing.”

College football playoff announced PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — The name says it all: College Football Playoff. The major college football conference commissioners named the new postseason system that starts in 2014 on Tuesday, the first of three days of meetings at a resort hotel in the Rose Bowl’s backyard. Out with the Bowl Championship Series and in with the College Football Playoff. “I don’t think you can ever go too wrong calling something what it is,” Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott said. “Things that make sense tend to stand the test of time.” Next on the agenda is to pick three more bowls for the six-bowl semifinal rotation — the Rose, Orange and Sugar are already in — and where the first championship game will be held on Jan. 12, 2015. That comes today. Four bowls have bid to be part of the rotation. The clear front-runners are the Cotton, Chick-fil-A and Fiesta. The Holiday Bowl in San Diego also put in a bid, but even its organizers acknowledged they are a long shot at best. The finalists to host the first championship game are Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, the billion dollar home of the NFL team and the Cotton Bowl, and Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fla., home of the NFL’s Buccaneers and the Outback Bowl.

Iola hosts Central Heights Saturday Iola High’s baseball team will make up a key doubleheader Saturday after Tuesday’s games against Central Heights were postponed because of rain. First pitch for the Viking and Mustangs is at 9 a.m. at

Riverside Park. Both teams remain undefeated on the season. The softball teams will not make up Tuesday’s rainout because Central Heights is short of players for Saturday. The games come amid a

flurry of activity to wrap up the regular season. The Mustangs and Fillies play a varsity doubleheader Friday at Neodesha and Monday at Independence. The JV squads are in action Thursday and Tuesday.

Lancers, Wildcats earn medals UNIONTOWN — Crest High’s and Marmaton Valley High’s track teams went medal prospecting Monday, to great success at the Uniontown Invitational. The Lancers raked in gold medals in the boys 100-meter hurdles and the girls discus.

For Marmaton Valley, Daylen Houk won the 100-meter dash in 11.91 seconds, Lucas Hamlin won the 400-meter dash in 1 minute flat, while Wyatt Bollinger prevailed in the 800-meter run, winning in 2 minutes, 24 seconds. The Wildcats took home the boys team title, racking up 103 points, just head of Jayhawk-Linn in second

with 97. Host Uniontown was third with 88. In girls action, Crest scored 65 points, good for fourth overall, while Marmaton Valley was fifth with 26. Jayhawk-Linn rolled to the team win with 128 points, followed by St. Paul in second with 98. Individual results follow:

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; In what they considered a â&#x20AC;&#x153;must-winâ&#x20AC;? game, the New York Knicks couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lose. Not the way they defended after halftime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We buckled down on the defensive end,â&#x20AC;? Carmelo Anthony said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what opened the game up for us.â&#x20AC;? And theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done it two games in a row. Anthony scored 34 points, Sixth Man of the Year J.R. Smith added 19, and New York took a 2-0 lead over the Boston Celtics with another dominant second half in an 87-71 victory Tuesday night. Raymond Felton added 16 points for the Knicks, who used a 27-4 run spanning halftime to blow it open and move halfway to their first series victory since the 2000 Eastern Conference semifinals. This is their first 2-0 lead since sweeping Toronto in the first round that year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For us, we know what type of team we are,â&#x20AC;? Anthony said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know when we really buckle down on the defensive end, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been hard for teams.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been brutally difficult for Boston. Paul Pierce scored 18 points for the Celtics, who will host Game 3 on Friday in their

first home game since the Boston Marathon bombings. They will have to be much sharper to avoid their first opening-round elimination since 2005, before they became one of the NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s power teams again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to figure out the offensive side of the ball and not be so stagnated,â&#x20AC;? Bostonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kevin Garnett said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Figure out ways to score more often.â&#x20AC;? Anthony had said the Knicks needed to treat the game as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;mustwin,â&#x20AC;? aware of the difficulty of winning in Boston on Friday with the emotional boost the Celtics will get from finally being home. They showed that mentality after halftime, outscoring Boston 32-11 in the third quarter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think guys know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at stake. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to talk about it,â&#x20AC;? veteran forward Kenyon Martin said. Garnett had 12 points and 11 rebounds, but battled foul trouble and spent too much time walking back to the bench with a raucous Madison Square Garden crowd finally experiencing playoff success again hounding him every step of the way.

Judge nixes use of ‘In Cold Blood’ files By JOHN HANNA Associated Press

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A judge ruled Tuesday that investigation materials from the 1959 “In Cold Blood” murders kept by a Kansas Bureau of Investigation agent at home may not be auctioned off or publicly disclosed until he’s had a chance to review them. Shawnee County District Judge Larry Hendricks said the state could face “irreparable harm” if the materials found in Harold Nye’s home became public. The materials include Nye’s personal journals, which mix notes from his KBI work with notes about personal matters, according to lawyers. The items also include copies of records and other materials about the investigation that inspired the Truman Capote classic. Crime scene photos in his possession were returned to the state last year by his son. Ronald Nye, of Oklahoma City, kept the other materials after his father’s 2003 death and gave them to Seattle memorabilia dealer Gary McAvoy to auction off. But the Kansas attorney general’s office contends the materials belong to the state, and it sued last year to get them back. Another hearing in the case is scheduled for November, to determine when it will go to trial. Hendricks said his order will remain in place until the case is settled, but he left open the possibility that he could rescind it after reviewing

the documents himself to determine how much private or previously undisclosed material they contain. “Folks, I think I need to see them,” he said from the bench. “I need to look at them.” McAvoy and Ronald Nye now say they don’t plan to auction off the materials, and instead plan to write their own book about the killing of Herb and Bonnie Clutter and two of their children at their remote farmhouse in Holcomb. Hendricks’ order bars them from even speaking about the files’ contents publicly. The judge said the materials fall under the Kansas Open Records Act, which allows law enforcement agencies to close their investigation records but limits the circumstances. Tai Vokins, an Olathe attorney representing McAvoy and Ronald Nye, said they’ll gather the materials in dispute and turn them over to Hendricks, so that he can review them, in hopes of getting him to modify or rescind his order. “I’m disappointed, but at the same time, I’m glad to get the guidance from the court,” Vokins said after the hearing. The attorney general’s office sued McAvoy and his business; Ronald Nye and his sister, and Harold Nye’s widow, Joyce. Vokins said Joyce Nye died recently. After the hearing, Schmidt issued a statement calling the judge’s decision “well-reasoned.” “It is important for the

KBI investigation materials to be returned to the state for the protection of the integrity of the records and out of respect for the Clutter family,” said Schmidt, who as attorney general appoints the KBI director. Hendricks said the parties have raised nu-

ern Kansas town of Holcomb. Hickock and Smith fled to Florida after the Kansas murders, and authorities in December exhumed their remains to test them for DNA in the hopes that it might help lead to a break in the unsolved killing of a Sara-

merous issues, such as whether Harold Nye acted improperly by keeping the materials at home and whether blocking their use violates Ronald Nye’s and McAvoy’s free speech rights. But he said the parties need to present more evidence on those questions. In the meantime, the judge said if he allowed disclosure of the materials without seeing them first, “they’re out in the public” even if he later ruled the items should be returned to the state. Two parolees, Richard Hickock and Perry Smith, were eventually convicted of killing the Clutters and were executed in 1965. Four years later, Harold Nye began a two-year stint as the KBI’s director. The hunt for the family’s killers mesmerized the nation and drew journalists from throughout the U.S. to the small west-

sota, Fla., family a few weeks after the Clutters’ deaths. “In Cold Blood,” which takes the reader through the killings, the Hickock and Smith’s trial, and their execution is celebrated because it reads like a novel. However, scholars have long debated its accuracy. Richard Adler, a forensic psychiatrist from Seattle, said the documents kept by Harold Nye are significant because Capote’s account of the Clutter case “may be inaccurate” in “pivotal ways.” Alder attended Tuesday’s hearing and said he’s reviewed some of the materials in question. “The public would have great benefit in having access to them,” Adler said after the hearing. “This is a very celebrated case, and the general public’s understanding of the case stems from Truman Capote’s account.”

Spring weather delays grazing, crops By ROXANA HEGEMAN Associated Press

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Cool temperatures this spring in Kansas have delayed the growth of pasture grasses and the first cutting of alfalfa fields, keeping cattle ranchers from turning out their herds out for grazing and putting pressure on tight hay supplies. Development of all forage grasses is running almost three weeks behind normal, said Steve Hessman, hay market reporter for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s office in Dodge City. Cool-season grasses like fescues have not grown much, and warmseason varieties such as the bluestem grasses of the Flint Hills are just now beginning to green up some. That means the grass in pastures has not grown enough for ranchers to turn their cattle out to graze as usual, Hessman said. Aggravating the tight hay supplies is a hard freeze that hit Kansas earlier this month, nipping alfalfa fields. Normally growers start cutting alfalfa fields in southern Kansas by late

April or early May, he said. This year it could be late May before alfalfa fields regrow enough to cut. Steve Dewey said he had an inch of snow Tuesday at his cattle and hay farm near Cimarron in southwest Kansas. He said that on his phone are pictures taken in April last year showing his dog Kate, a Jack Russell terrier, running through an alfalfa field that was so tall you couldn’t hardly see the dog. That compares to this year, when the alfalfa in his field is so short that he wryly said you couldn’t hide the dog even if she was digging holes. “It is an extreme difference,” Dewey said. He figures it will be the end of May before he starts swathing hay this season. Scott Habiger, a cattle rancher and hay grower in Kinsley, was able to stockpile enough hay that he isn’t running out of it for his herd. But Habiger, who also buys and sells hay, has been getting about eight to nine calls a week lately from other cattle producers who have run out of hay — especially in western Kansas and eastern

Colorado. “They are down to just living from load to load,” Habiger said. “A lot of people you talk to are about ready to start selling cows because they can’t afford to keep buying hay.” While much of eastern Kansas has gotten good snowfall or heavy rains this spring, western Kansas rangeland has not received much precipitation this year. “Our problem is pastures are so grazed down from last year’s drought, even if we get normal rainfall it is going to take a year or so to recover,” Habiger said. That hard freeze that hit Kansas earlier this month also damaged winter wheat crops in parts of southwest and west-central Kansas, said Jim Shroyer, Extension wheat specialist with Kansas State University. Some winter wheat fields were freeze damaged so badly that they look like somebody had sprayed Roundup to kill it. Warm temperatures earlier this spring were interspersed with untimely freezes, snow and heavy rains in parts of Kansas that have wreaked havoc with

crops. “It is setting back the forages, and it has even held up the corn planting,” Hessman said. “In areas of the state dry enough to plant corn, growers have hesitated because soil temperatures are cooler than they wanted.” Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service reported Monday that corn planting in Kansas was 5 percent complete, well behind the 30 percent completed last year at this time and the 20 percent average. The state’s winter wheat crop was also maturing more slowly with just 43 percent reaching the jointed stage. Last year at this time, 96 percent had already jointed. The average for this time of the year is 63 percent jointed. Much of Kansas is under another hard freeze warning for Tuesday night and this morning. Temperatures are forecast to be in the low 20s — low enough to do some “serious damage” to the state’s winter wheat crop, Shroyer said. “We will know a little more in a few days,” he said. “As of today, we are not out of the woods.”

TUPELO, Miss. (AP) — Law enforcement officials searched the home of a second Mississippi man in connection to ricin-laced letters sent to the president and a U.S. senator after charges were dropped without explanation against a man arrested in the case last week. Everett Dutschke, whose Tupelo, Miss., home was searched Tuesday by dozens of officials, some in hazmat suits, had feuded with Paul Kevin Curtis, a 45-year-old celebrity impersonator who had maintained his innocence since his arrest. The search began early Tuesday afternoon and ended about 11 p.m. CDT, with officials declining to comment on what they had found or on the next phase of the investigation. At one point, two FBI agents and two members of the state’s chemical response team left Dutschke’s property and began combing through ditches, culverts and woods about a block away from his house in the neighborhood of single-family detached homes. Dutschke, who spoke with The Associated Press by telephone during the search, said his house was also searched last week. “I don’t know how much more of this I can take,” he said.

Get over the silent treatment Dear Carolyn:

I have a friend who shuts down when he’s angry, insists on being left alone and refuses to discuss the matter at hand. Even though this may work for him in that he gets space to think and be mad, I am left unable to express my frustration. Any advice on how to

Tell Me About It Carolyn Hax placate us both? I find it grating that an adult

thinks he can go silent for as long as three days for the most trivial issues, like being interrupted when he’s talking, then come back when he’s ready as though nothing happened. Anonymous When he returns, you needn’t welcome him back, except perhaps

with this: “That was one silent treatment too many.” Write to Carolyn Hax, Style, 1150 15th St. NW, Washington, D.C. 20071, or tellme@washpost. com. Sign up for Carolyn Hax’s column, delivered to your inbox early each morning, at http://bit.ly/ haxpost

DAILY CRYPTOQUOTES - Here’s how to work it:

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