Vol. 114, No. 193 75 Cents Iola, KS

By BOB [email protected]

As long as she can remember, Sabra Aguirre has liked to sing.

Now, home from learning the nuances of cosmetology and hair care in Wichita, Sabra, 21, is working with her mother, Pam Tressler, at Class Act, 10 E. Jackson.

But don’t think she’s settling in.

The Yates Center resident hopes a career in music materi-alizes.

“That’s what I’ve always want-ed to do,” Sabra said.

Her vocal talent was first un-veiled when Richard Spencer cast her in Iola Community Theatre’s “Beehive” seven years ago.

Spencer put out a call for songbirds, with the provision that they be 18 or older. He didn’t think younger singers

would have the voice or physical maturity to portray — as Sabra did — such 1960s singers as Tina Turner and Connie Francis.

“Boy, was I wrong,” Spencer said. “She left the age line blank on her audition sheet, and I was pretty sure she wasn’t 18, but it didn’t matter when she opened her mouth and started to sing. I literally was blown away. I couldn’t believe what I was hear-ing.”

When rehearsals started, Spencer also found Sabra, then 14, had a stage presence that be-lied her age.

“She was a natural from day one,” he said.

Sabra continued with lo-cal performances through two years at Allen Community Col-lege and in recent years as part of the praise team at Iola’s Free-dom Regional Church, before she began cosmetology school

in Wichita. She sang some in Wichita and

also tweaked her interest in pho-tography, an avocation that she will pursue while working at Class Act.

Sabra said she prefers fashion

HAVING A HAY DAY AT THE COUNTY FAIR


Allen County 4-H’ers learned Monday how they can take bet-ter photographs, improve their performances in the kitchen and maybe save a little money by spending more time behind a sew-ing machine.

Judges in several categories sat down with 4-H’ers to discuss in detail what was good about their entries, and also what improve-ments they could make.

An example was Tera Reed, art instructor at Allen Community College, in her photo-judging re-sponsibilities.

In talking with Katie Malone, 12, of Humboldt, Reed gave tips about lighting and how to com-pose subjects so they stand out.

Katie’s mother, Kathy Ellis, asked what would be a step-up camera for her daughter.

Reed suggested a brand and also said to look for one that had a wide range of apertures so as

Katie learned she would have a more comprehensive approach to photography.

While Reed tutored, Marla Wil-son had several dozens of sub-mitted photos spread before her on the floor, deciding which ones would go where when they were mounted on display carousels.

Bob Wulf spent much of Mon-day putting together displays of open class farm and garden pro-duce as it was brought to the Rec-reation Community Building.

Produce obviously has been af-fected by the prolonged drought and heat.

Just one handful of soybeans vines was on display and the vines held hardly any pods.

A few flats of ears of corn are on display. Most ears are half as long as field corn usually is by late July.

“There is some pretty good gar-den stuff,” Wulf said, motioning to a table with bright red toma-toes and other locally grown veg-

etables.Frequent watering does won-

ders, even during times of oppres-sive heat.

The weather, with forecasts of triple-digit days all week-long, will be a popular topic for fair visitors, with some of the older ones bound to recall sizzling days of the mid-1950s.

“Remember 1954,” Wulf asked a friend.

That year daytime highs spiked at 117 degrees in mid-July and 51 times the mercury climbed to or about 100.

“How did we get along without air-conditioning,” Wulf asked, and answered himself by observ-ing, “I guess we were used to it. We didn’t know anything else.”

TONIGHT will be one of the busier nights of the fair.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Frus-trated by their inability to achieve some policy goals, conservatives in Republican states are turning against moderate members of their own party, trying to drive them out of state legislatures to clear the way for reshaping gov-ernment across a wide swath of mid-America controlled by the GOP.

Political groups are helping fi-nance the efforts by supporting primary election challenges tar-geting several dozen moderate Republicans in the Midwest and South, especially prominent law-makers who run key state com-mittees.

Two years after Republicans swept into power in many state

capitols, the challengers say it’s time to adopt more conservative policies.

“If you don’t believe in that playbook, then why are you on the team?” declared Greg Smith, a Kansas state representative who’s running for the state Senate, with the goal of making it more con-servative.

Humboldt levy increasesBy BOB JOHNSON

[email protected] — Humboldt

council members unanimously approved a budget for 2013 that includes a property tax levy in-crease of 9.598 mills.

Provided the budget is ap-proved at a public hearing on Aug. 13, the total levy will be 73.172.

While it would be the city’s highest levy ever, it is the first increase of consequence in 10 years.

City Administrator Larry Tucker noted that between 2001 and 2011 (when the levy for this year was approved), the levy crept up by just 4.35 percent, from 60.922 mills to this year’s

63.574.Also, he pointed out that the

increase in tax dollars would not be significant for homeowners.

Tucker gave several examples of what the levy increase would mean, with additional costs tem-pered a tad by a drainage fee of $1 a month being removed from utility bills. For a home valued at $50,000, the increase would be $43.20 a year or $3.60 a month; for one valued at $100,000, $98.40 a year and $8.20 a month; for a house valued at $150,000, $153 a year and $12.80 a month.

“For the owner of a $50,000 home, the increase will be the equivalent of a gallon of gaso-line a month,” was Tucker’s ra-tionale.

General fund expenditures are forecast at $1,087,554 next year, up from this year’s $916,247. The only other fund requiring a levy, debt service on City Hall improvements, will see a drop from 1.844 mills to 1.204.

“That will get less each year as we pay off the loan,” Tucker said.

AMONG THINGS that led to the higher levy and expendi-tures were:

• Adding a Parks Department supervisor to the Public Works Department.

Tucker said improvements to parks and the swimming pool

HUMBOLDT — Mykah Muel-ler, 2, son of Mike and Jaime Mueller, may not have under-stood all the cheering, jumping and laughing Saturday at the sand volleyball court south of the swimming pool.

Teams from as far away as Mound City and Waverly, and as close as Humboldt, Chanute and Iola participated in a sand volley-ball tournament that raised mon-ey for First Downs For Downs Syndrome (FDFDS) and Mykah was their inspiration.

Hannah McCall organized and publicized Saturday’s event.

Teams had creative names includ-ing Myka’s Magic, Poor Boozers, Sand Slingers and Krush. Ac-cumulated money from several fundraisers throughout the year is given at the Step Up for Down Syndrome Walk held the last Sat-urday of October at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.

This is the second year the sand volleyball tournament has been held in Humboldt. With a total of 13 teams, the tournament nearly doubled in participants over last year’s eight teams.

“The whole community has embraced Mykah,” Jaime Muel-ler said. “They accept him and he loves everybody.”

If you’ve got enough of it, Fri-day night is the night to let your hair down.

One sure test is to participate in the “Drag Race” as a runup to the Charlie Melvin Mad Bomber Run For Your Life race.

Men and women alike are en-couraged to dress in a cross-gen-der manner and then “compete” in teams of four in a relay. Last

year a woman’s garter was trans-ferred from one participant’s leg to another.

“It’s better than a baton,” said David Toland, executive director of Thrive Allen County and one of the organizers for Friday’s events.

If you don’t have a thing to wear — no worries.

Dresses, hats, purses, jewelry and other accoutrements will be available at Elizabeth Donnelly’s

The Shirt Shop, 20 W. Jackson, where participants will have a wide selection from which to choose. Doors open at 10 p.m.

Registration to participate in the drag race is $5. That also gains participants entrance to a 9:30 p.m. pre-party at the Thrive office, 12 W. Jackson. Tickets can be purchased in advance at the Thrive office or Friday night on

LE ROY — Unlike the mecha-nized behemoths of today, Ray Whiteley’s mowing outfit was considerably quieter.

His “engine” — a pair of 1,200-pound mules — needed only an occasional break from the sti-fling summer heat as Whiteley traversed his way around an 18-acre prairie hay meadow.

“It’s a little warm, so we’ve been taking it easy,” Whiteley said. “It’s our little hobby.”

The mules were pulling White-ley’s antique sickle bar mower, a small wagon with cutting bar

attached. The bar was triggered through a gear box engaged as its wheels roll.

With no mechanical engine to speak of, the only noise emanat-ing from his unit was from the teeth of the seven-foot cutting bar rotating back and forth.

Joining Whiteley was neighbor and friend Greg Gleue, with his own mowing outfit, another sick-le bar mower pulled by a pair of Percheron draft horses.

“We’re having some fun with it,” Whiteley joked. “Greg’s kind of a wimp about it. He needs a

Register/Susan LynnThese men are ready to leave their inhibitions at home as they participate in Friday night’s favorite race, the drag race. From left to right are Matt Skahan, Brian Wolfe, Nic Lohman, David Toland and Fred Heismeyer. The race begins at 10:30 p.m. on the courthouse square.


Calls to the 911 dispatch center average one almost every 10 min-utes.

And while that may sound a lit-tle slow, played out over 24 hours a day and every day of the year, the total comes to 55,000.

“That’s what we received last year,” Angie Murphy, dispatch center director, told Allen County commissioners Tuesday morn-ing.

The call total — she figures half or more are for true emer-gencies — wasn’t the point of her appearance, but the magnitude of the number captivated commis-sioners.

Murphy was before commis-sioners to request a 20 percent increase in the department’s bud-get for 2012, up $126,000 over this year’s $490,000.

The increase seemed pretty hefty. Murphy reasoned health insurance will cost an additional $50,000 and another $6,000 was expected for Kansas Public Em-

When Brian Pekarek was hired as superintendent of the Iola school district in February, he saw an opportunity to “reinvigo-rate” USD 257.

With a focus on academic achievement and public transpar-ency, Pekarek hopes he can fur-ther success for the district and the more than 1,300 students rely-ing on it.

Pekarek walks his talk. A na-


An anticipated field of a thou-sand runners and walkers, who will flee Iola’s downtown busi-ness district early Saturday as Charley Melvin did in 1905, can be thankful that Melvin chose to do his dastardly deed in the mid-dle of the night.

Had the event being commemo-rated occurred in mid-day, par-ticipants would battle oppressive heat and humidity, with both forecast at the upper end of the discomfort scale during daytime Friday and Saturday. As is, they will run and walk in somewhat more inviting temperatures pre-dicted for the low 70s by 12:26 a.m. Saturday.

The race — many walkers will be out for a stroll — will cap activ-ities that start late Friday after-noon and will go on throughout the evening. Included will be the much-awaited “drag race,” fea-turing some of the area’s finest men and women dressed in drag.

Chris Weiner at Thrive Allen County, co-sponsor with Allen County Crimestoppers for “The Charley Melvin Mad Bomber Run for your Life,” said total of partic-ipants was approaching 450, with about 200 signed on for the 5-kilo-meter run. The walk will follow a 3-kilometer course.

“Registration, including prob-ably a fifth online, has really

picked up,” Weiner said Tuesday afternoon. As in the past, “we ex-pect a lot of people to sign up Fri-day night.”

Cost is $12 for the walk. Run-ners’ fees are $14 for youth to age 17, $20 for adults and $17 each for members of teams.

Runners in the third annual event will aim for best times of 15.40.06 for males and 20.44.78 for females, set last year.

Sticks of “Melvin Dy-No-Mite” will be awarded the first three places for males and females in each of five ages groups, 15 and under, 16-30, 31-45, 46-60 and 61 and over.

All participants will break from in front of the post office. Runners will follow a course that will take them on West to Wash-ington, then Jackson, Jefferson and East to Cottonwood. They

ATLANTA (AP) — Former Atlanta schools Superintendent Beverly Hall knew about cheat-ing allegations on standardized tests but either ignored them or tried to hide them, according to a state investigation.

An 800-page report released Tuesday to The Associated Press by Gov. Nathan Deal’s office through an open records request shows several educators report-ed cheating in their schools. But the report says Hall, who won the national Superintendent of the Year award in 2009, and other administrators ignored those re-ports and sometimes retaliated against the whistleblowers.

The yearlong investigation shows educators at nearly four dozen Atlanta elementary and middle schools cheated on stan-dardized tests by helping stu-dents or changing the answers once exams were handed in.

The investigators also found a “culture of fear, intimidation and retaliation” in the school district over the cheating allegations, which led to educators lying about the cheating or destroying

Obituaries

Kansas, where conservatives are attempting to replace a dozen moderate Republican senators who bucked new Gov. Sam Brownback’s move to slash state income taxes.

The Club for Growth, a major conservative inter-est group, is spending about $500,000 in Missouri this year. That’s double the amount it invested two years ago. The anti-tax group Americans for Prosperity opened new chap-ters in Iowa, Minnesota and New Mexico. The conserva-tive business group Texans for Lawsuit Reform spent $3.5 million on legislative candi-dates in the first half of 2012, more than double its total dur-ing the same period two years ago.

The primary strife reflects differences that were some-what concealed in the party’s triumphant victories in 2010, when, aided by public discon-tent about the economy, the GOP won its broadest control of state government since the Great Depression. After the vote, Republicans held gov-ernorships in 29 states and control of most of the legisla-tures from Michigan to Texas.

Conservatives, some aligned with the tea party movement, hoped to begin re-alizing their vision of smaller government and of a re-formed education system that would give parents more al-ternatives to traditional pub-lic schools. But some of their initiatives were scaled back by GOP colleagues to soften

the impact on public schools and other public services.

Oklahoma Republican Gov. Mary Fallin’s plan to begin phasing out the state income tax was blocked entirely, and Brownback and Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman had to settle for a fraction of the tax cuts they wanted.

Conservative leaders say they are determined to seize a historic opportunity. Primary elections and runoffs are con-tinuing in key states through August. The results so far have been mixed, with the overall effect this year likely to be incremental.

“It’s no secret that there’s kind of a battle for what the Republican Party will be into the future and, as a conse-quence, what this state will look like into the future,” said Mark Desetti, a lobbyist for the largest teachers’ union in Kansas.

The conservative push is being felt in states that are al-ready solidly conservative, like Texas and Idaho, along with others, like Missouri, with a tradition of political modera-tion and divided power.

“Republican legislatures continue to move more and more to the right of center,” said Alan Cobb, who’s over-seeing state-level operations for Americans for Prosperity. “You do have this tension ev-erywhere.”

Lila MaceLila M. Mace, 94, Colony,

passed away Sunday, July 29, 2012, at Golden Heights in Garnett.

She was born Sept. 12, 1917, in Y u m a , Colo., the d a u g h t e r of John Benjamin and Edith C a r o l i n e ( D r e w ) H u s t e d . She grew up in the Colony area and graduated from Colony High School.

Lila was united in mar-riage to Leslie “Pete” Mace Aug. 30, 1939, in Mesa, Ariz. This union was blessed with three sons and one daughter.

Lila moved to Arizona with her brother, Donald, and Pete to find work. They worked as dairy farmers while in Arizona. Lila and Pete moved to a farm in the Colony area in 1947, spending the remain-

der of their lives on the family farm.

She was a member of Assembly of God Church, Iola. Lila loved working outdoors. She also had a love of caring for the el-

derly and young children. Lila was preceded in

death by her parents; her husband, Pete, on Nov. 28, 1999; brother Donald Hus-ted; and three sisters, Elgia Worley, Millie Yates, and Evelyn McNamara.

She is survived by her sons, John L. Mace and wife Mary, Richmond, Jerry R. Mace, Colony, and Larry E. Mace and wife Jeannie, Madison, Neb.; daughter, Rita F. Dixon and husband Ralph, Humboldt; five grandchildren, Richard Dixon, Paul Dixon, Jerard Mace, Steve Wilson and Tony Wilson; and six great-grandchildren, Tina Dixon, Misty Dixon, Brenna Wil-son, Brandon Wilson, Brit-ney Wilson and Heather Wilson.

to help with the program, came up with the idea of having a tasting experience after attempts to conduct a cooking class didn’t come through.

“I thought you know, we have a captive audience while the kids are here hav-ing lunch,” Hildinger said. “I know it’s summer and they don’t want to be in a class, so I thought about letting them sample different herbs.”

Before the feeding pro-gram started in early June, Hildinger and her sister, Beverly Johnson, assisted by Ellery Robertson, plant-ed the herbs outside of the high school cafeteria. There, the kids could easily see the growth.

As the herbs matured, Hildinger came up with recipes using plants to fla-vor butter applied to hot rolls, cheese balls and dips served on crackers, pop-corn and as hand soap.

“I made alphabet soap for the kids to end our herb tast-ing experience,” Hildinger said. “They will really be able to smell the scents of the herbs when they start washing their hands. The kids were probably most surprised about the flavor of chocolate mint, but I was sur-prised at the little ones that would try the different stuff.”

Hildinger enjoys cooking and volunteering and said providing the students with the herb-flavored treats was a learning experience for her in researching and ex-perimenting with recipes.

USD 258 is offering the opportunity to earn a high school diploma to per-sons who may have quit or dropped out of school be-fore earning the required number of credits to gradu-ate.

Jody Siebenmorgen, program director, said she is taking enrollment for the fall in order to allow enough time to request transcripts and reserve a laptop computer for each student.

“They need to be enrolled before Sept. 5 to guarantee a laptop computer for their classes,” she said.

Students enrolling in the Virtual Education Pro-gram work online earning the credits they need to be awarded a high school di-ploma. Those who gradu-

ate, keep the laptop.“Students drop out of

school for a variety of rea-sons,” Siebenmorgen said. “As right as those reasons may seem at the time, the decisions we make don’t al-ways work out the way we had hoped.”

The Virtual Diploma Pro-gram is a KSDE approved virtual online program with web-based curriculum available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Anyone needing more information or with ques-tions can reach Siebenmor-gen at the USD 258 Board of Education office, 620-473-3121, or by calling her at 620-228-4186.

“We’d like to give every-one a second chance to earn a diploma and graduate,” she said.

HUMBOLDT — B&W Trailer Hitches continues to grow and expand prod-uct lines in new markets. In March, B&W purchased a patented product that will be manufactured at their plant in Humboldt.

The product is a trailer apparatus for motorcy-cles. Next week they will promote it among an esti-mated 600,000 motorcycle enthusiasts at the 72nd An-nual Mortorcycle Rally in Sturgis, S.D.

The sales and marketing department attends nu-merous shows and exhibi-tions throughout the year displaying the Turnover-ball Hitch and other truck accessories manufactured locally, but Sturgis will be the first of its kind for the company.

“This will be a first for B&W, but it’ll be a great place to introduce our new ‘Biker Bar,’” Marketing Manager Beth Barlow said.

Named for the remov-able clamping bar that attaches to a motorcycle frame, the bar is “grabbed” by spring-loaded latches, which hold the motorcycle securely.

“There’s a steel plate that bolts to the floor of a trailer or garage floor, or wherever you would like to secure your bike,” Barlow said. “When you ride the motorcycle over the plate, the latches grab the bar. The real benefit is that your bike will remain upright without the aid of clamping straps.”

Barlow said they will both sell and take orders

for the Biker Bar at Stur-gis. “We will display two motorcycles; one in a trail-er and one on the ground on a tread plate platform that has the plate mounted to it. We will demonstrate it over and over again.”

Just recently, B&W

added the Biker Bar to its website featuring a short video.

“We can now accept in-ternet orders for the bar,” Barlow said.

Currently B&W is work-ing through the inventory purchased with the prod-

uct, but soon all parts will be made locally. The bar is made of laser cut steel plate and steel tubing that is chrome-plated.

Currently, the Biker Bar is compatible with four models of Harley Davidson motorcycles.

Dick Cheney’s heart trans-plant perked him up enough to push him into the presidential race. President Obama was, he told a newsman, a “weak presi-dent.” Weak, he explained, be-cause he is pulling U.S. troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan.

“We shouldn’t be turning our backs on our friends in that region,” said the former vice president.

Mr. Cheney can take a lot of the credit for the fact that the United States went to war with Iraq in the first place. Good-ness knows how wide that war would have grown if fate had made him president. Cheney surely will go down in history as the most bellicose V.P. of them all.

The United States has had troops in Afghanistan since October 2001. Cheney appears

to advocate a permanent oc-cupation. As to exactly which “friends” in that benighted land would join him in that recommendation, he is silent. Sure, there are Afghans ad-dicted to U.S. billions — but very few who want an occupy-ing army to stay indefinitely to oversee their daily lives. That goes double for the Iraq people.

President Obama’s decision to announce far in advance when he would pull out the last combat troops can be criticized as poor tactics. But ending those wars and bringing the troops home deserves the ap-plause it has won throughout the nation and from our allies.

Mr. Cheney couldn’t have found a way to give the Obama campaign a bigger boost.

Cheney’s tiradebenefits Obama

Looking for a sure-fire voca-tion: Go into health care.

The Affordable Health Care Act (Obamacare) is scheduled to expand Medicaid to mil-lions of now-uninsured Amer-icans by 2014. Thousands of additional physicians will be needed to give them care. Even if that program is re-pealed, the aging of the baby boomers will increase the Medicare population and also put pressure on health care providers.

The Association of Ameri-can Medical Colleges esti-mates that in 2015 the country will have 62,900 fewer doctors than needed and that number will more than double by 2025.

Even without the health care law, experts estimate that the shortage of doctors in 2025 would still exceed 100,000.

Considering that it takes about 10 years to train a phy-sician, that 2025 need should be addressed now.

Part of the need can be met

by expanding the use of nurse clinicians, who can be trained more quickly. Having physi-cians and nurse clinicians work in teams can increase ef-ficiency in clinics and provide more primary care to more people at a lower cost.

The U.S. shortage of physi-cians is now being lessened by welcoming well-trained physicians from other na-tions as immigrants. India and other Asian nations have educated many physicians and medical technicians who are now working in the U.S., where they earn much more than they could in their na-tive lands.

But the best way to meet our nation’s need for additional physicians, nurse clinicians and other health care spe-cialists is by increasing the number who can be trained in U.S. medical schools — and by encouraging U.S. high school students to set their sights on medical careers.

— Emerson Lynn, jr.

Doctor shortage opensdoors to new careers

Shooting sprees taking mul-tiple lives are becoming more fre-quent in our country. The killing of 12 random theatergoers in Au-rora, Colo., was the fourth major massacre in the 13 years since the two high school students killed 12 students, one teacher and them-selves at nearby Columbine High School on April 20, 1999.

At that time, the most recent mass killing was from “The Tow-er” on the campus of the Univer-sity of Texas, Austin, Aug. 1, 1966. The marksman, a 26-year-old former Marine, was taken down by police fire after he had killed 16 people, including his wife and mother before he went to the cam-pus.

These tragic events, however, seem like only a prelude to mur-derous events becoming common-place now.

After Friday’s shocker, I lis-tened to the talking heads on the three network Sunday shows, and to the too-willing professionals on cable stations. And, I read a cou-ple of blogs. I didn’t learn much.

The conversations confirmed, first and foremost, that the Nation-al Rifle Association, which never saw a weapon it didn’t like, owns our country’s two major political parties. Neither President Barack Obama nor Governor Mitt Rom-ney went further than extending sympathy for the victims, their families and friends.

Congressman Ed Perlmutter, who represents Aurora, became fidgety and evasive when asked about federal gun control laws. He finally conceded he would “work with” Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy, who was elected to Congress in 1996, after her hus-band was killed and son seriously injured on a Long Island Railroad commuter train. Five others were killed and 18 wounded.

These measly six deaths often are not listed among recent gun atrocities, but did get the atten-tion of many New York urban Congress members — and may

explain in part New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s loud and consistent calls for strict federal gun laws. Few mayors or urban police chiefs like being out-gunned by favorite NRA weapons in the hands of criminals.

Another pearl was Phila-delphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey’s response on ABC to the suggestion someone with concealed carry might have taken out the Aurora shooter, and saved lives. He pointed out the shooter was covered head to foot with body armor, and what the dark theater didn’t need was one or more additional gunmen fir-ing randomly. (Just think if they nearly all had had concealed and carry weapons! Wow!)

When reviewing recent gun vi-olence, one must include the Jan. 8, 2011, Tucson killing of six, and severe head injury of Congress-woman Gabrielle Gifford. This was accomplished by gunman Jared Lee Loughner, who one year later was found to be psy-chiatrically incompetent to stand trial. Nonetheless, he was compe-tent enough to have a Glock semi-automatic pistol with a 33-round magazine.

Altogether, the killings were by individual shooters who had no trouble getting one or more guns, often legally. Seung Hui Cho killed 32 people at Virginia Tech University April 16, 2007. Major Nidal Malik Hasan killed 13 with two handguns at Fort Hood Texas on Nov. 5, 2009.

What did they have in com-mon, except very effective, semi-automatic handguns, and some long weapons, with multiple-shot

magazines?Two, Cho of Virginia Tech and

Loughner of Tucson — and pos-sibly Holmes of Aurora — were psychiatrically impaired. Two had causes. Major Hasan was an Islamist, and Cho felt himself a victim of racism.

But, in sum, I admit my shock and perplexity about these recent reenactments of Chicago’s Val-entine’s Day Massacre. At least three killers were men of appar-ently superior intelligence, Cho, Dr. Hasan and recent Ph.D. can-didate Holmes. And, on it goes, a job for mental health profession-als and criminologists, and many would say legislators.

This is little solace, but we are not alone. One year ago, my sister and I were in Oslo, Norway, just three days after a solitary gun-man, who didn’t like Norway’s immigration policies, had killed 77 people, mostly children at an island summer camp. Sis’ recent e-mail reminded me it took Oslo law-enforcement 45 minutes to respond. It seemed they couldn’t find their boats or helicopters.

I believe we all prefer preven-tion to rapid response. How do we do it?

Prevention best action for gun violence

Dear editor,I have known Ed Bideau going

back to the late 1970s when I was a deputy sheriff and he was our new county attorney. I worked with him on many cases while I was a deputy sheriff and later as a Chanute police officer.

He was a prosecutor who knew how to go to jury trial and was not afraid to do it. He was very tough on drug pushers. He made it a point to develop a close working relationship with all the law en-forcement officers in the county and he often went to the shoot-ing range with us. He was an ag-gressive and fair prosecutor and about every officer that served with him would tell you he was one of the best.

Ed and I also became close hunting, fishing and shooting friends. We have been on many hunting, fishing and shooting trips together that often included other law enforcement officers. He is a life member of the NRA, is very active in shooting sports and held an ATF Federal Fire-

arms License for several years. I know Ed’s views on 2nd Amend-ment rights very well. He is a very strong advocate for our indi-vidual rights and puts action be-hind those words. Who would you want defending your 2nd Amend-ment rights? He is the guy I want defending mine.

Sincerely,Jim Pattinson,Chanute, Kan.

Dear editor,I support Tom Williams for

county commissioner.His has given years of selfless

dedication to southeast Kansas, Allen County and Iola. He has served professionally and I be-lieve that he will continue to per-form as county commissioner in a professional manner.

He will use common sense to address issues and is well aware that raising taxes and fees on ev-erything is not the answer.

Let’s give Tom a chance!Lee Gumfory,

Iola, Kan.

Letters to the editor

Dear editor, We endorse Ed Bideau for the

9th House District. Ed has an un-derstanding of the needs of small business, agriculture, and educa-tion in southeast Kansas because he and members of his family are directly involved in each of those areas. Having been a county at-torney for 10 years he appreciates the difficulties our local commu-nities and counties face in these difficult times. Being part of a close-knit family, he recognizes the challenges our population en-counters from childhood through the senior years.

In the redistricting that has oc-curred, our region has lost one seat from each of the legislative bodies and those seats were gains for the Johnson County area. We need someone who will stand up for our needs in this area, espe-

cially in education. The other candidates indi-

vidually propose backing big city legislators that are trying to better their own schools at the cost of denigrating ours, or would seek to have the legisla-ture make decisions on funding that the courts are currently making. Since we are the under-dog in this scenario, it is nearly certain we would lose even more funding than we already have. Having fewer legislators in ru-ral Kansas will push the advan-tage to the large municipalities. They will not want to share their larger tax base with those of us in districts with greater than 40 percent of the students on free and reduced-price lunch-es. Without this assistance from the state, which is provided for in our state constitution, this

area will continue to decline. We invite you to join us in

voting for Ed Bideau on Aug. 7. Please do not take our word on this, but do your own research on the candidates. Do not just take any of the beautiful brochures that are being passed out at face value.

In fourth grade students learn about how these are persuasive papers, and, while telling the truth, they leave out things that we should be aware of when we make our decisions.

Be smarter than a fourth-grad-er, and go to the effort of educat-ing yourself on what each candi-date is proposing to do and how it will affect our area of the great state of Kansas.

Thanks for your time.Walt and Mary Ann Regehr,

Iola, Kan.

Technology — comput-ers, television, cell phones, MP3 players and such – make information and en-tertainment readily avail-able. However, too much of a good thing may not be good for personal relation-ships.

With parents and chil-dren vying for time on the computer or children each tuned in to their own mu-sic, interaction between family members may be limited.

In today’s world, screen time can replace personal interaction with family and friends, health-pro-moting physical activity and other personal growth opportunities such as read-ing a book.

The American Academy

of Pediatrics recommends no more than two hours of entertainment media time for school-aged kids a day. Children younger than 2 should not be in front of the screen at all. Electronic media has no meaning for such young children, and their developing brains need practice in thinking creatively, problem-solving, and developing reasoning and motor skills.

There are things par-

ents can do to help kids scale back their media time.

Place the TV and comput-er out of a child’s room and in a central location where use can be better moni-tored. Check the content of interactive computer/video games, and don’t be afraid to say “no.” Set boundaries for the Internet, so children do not view it as the only source of information.

Model appropriate use, while continuing personal and family style activities. If you spend a chunk of your day surfing the Inter-net or watching TV, you can’t expect your kids to be willing to give up their screen time.

Use of technology can become a habit, making it

easy to forget that there are other options. Help your kids explore alternative activities, such as playing outdoors, taking on a new hobby or learning a new sport.

Balance time with tech-nology and time without. If the TV is often on as back-ground noise, turn it off and only have it on when someone is really watching it. The same is true for the computer.

Create a screen time schedule. Once you have established boundaries for the use of technology, be sure to honor the agree-ment and allow use without interruptions from you.

Make technology fit into your lifestyle, without let-ting it drive your lifestyle.

Technology displaces “face time” AnneLudlumExtensionAgent forFamily andConsumer Sciences

Blue-green algae, prop-erly called Cyanobacteria, is not an algae but actually a bacterium. It is naturally occurring in many farm ponds and for most of the year the concentrations are low and the organisms cause no problems. Howev-er, blue-green algae favors hot, dry conditions of late summer and blooms are likely to occur in warm, stagnant water.

Blue-green algae looks like a pale greenish oil scum on top of the water, except around the edges where it tends to be more of a cobalt blue color.

Blooms can also look like foam or thick slurry. Under normal conditions the organisms are homoge-

neously suspended in the water, but as they multiply rapidly, large numbers of dead organisms float to the surface.

Wind action causes them to be concentrated on the downwind side of the pond so that concentrations can

become extremely high in certain areas. When dis-turbed, the blue-green al-gae disperse in the water and do not hang together.

Problems occur when livestock or wildlife con-sume water from a bloom area. Most of the time death is sudden and the ani-mals are found dead before the producer can observe any signs. Dead animals in or near the water certainly suggest blue- green algae toxicity.

Treatment of blue-green algae is seldom attempted

and almost never success-ful. Copper sulfate can be used to kill blue-green algae but it also kills the competing organisms that help keep the blue-green in check. The key to minimiz-ing livestock losses is in prevention.

Management options for producers who suspect a blue-green algae problem include:

• Do not wade, swim in or drink from these water sources.

• Provide alternate drink-ing sources for livestock.

• Fence cattle away from affected ponds.

• If you have to use ponds as a water source, fence cattle away from downwind areas where accumulation of the bacteria is likely to occur.

Pond scum and water samples can be tested to see if blue-green algae are present.

Hot, dry conditions perfect for toxic algae

SABRA WAS featured in a recent issue of HOT Magazine, written for salon professionals and stylists beginning their careers.

“Rising Star: Beauty school student Sabra Agu-irre shares her amazing beauty talent with the pro-beauty world,” the story’s headline proclaims.

Sabra told the magazine that her work as a hair styl-ist in Iola wasn’t intended for the long term, just long enough to put away a nest egg to finance the start of what she hopes will be ad-ventures on a much broad-er scale.

“I want to explore em-ployment opportunities in more cosmopolitan areas, including Chicago and Aus-

tin,” Sabra said. “Because I’m an amateur photog-rapher (with hopes of it turning a few dollars) and editorial enthusiast, I also want to do beauty work for fashion magazines” with her musical interests also in mind.

Sabra studied hair care and design at the Eric Fish-er Academy in Wichita.

MOM IS delighted to have time with her daugh-ter daily, but realizes Sa-bra’s talents soon will carry her elsewhere.

She approaches hair styl-ing as an art form and “is very good at it,” Tressler said of her daughter, “but singing is her passion,” and that may be the avenue to take her to places with far brighter lights than are found in southeast Kansas.“I wouldn’t be surprised if she were to make it to the big time,” Spencer said. “She has the voice and stage presence, it’s just be-ing able to make the right contacts.”

prompted the proposal.The city has had Cannon

and Camp Hunter (South) parks for years and this year added a park west of the Neosho River, includ-ing a performance area, na-ture trail and fishing dock. The city has been given land along Franklin Street near the new senior hous-ing complex where Tucker wants to develop a fourth park. The pool recently was improved and expanded, which demands more atten-tion.

Also, an arrangement with the Justice Depart-ment means park facilities have to meet Americans with Disabilities Act stan-dards.

In addition to the super-visor, $30,000 new money is in the 2013 budget for parks improvements.

Computers and printers will be replaced in City Hall and $11,000 will be added to reserves to pay for Public Works radio equipment.

Another $12,500 will be set aside for when a new po-lice vehicle is needed.

• Raises in pay and ben-efits for employees.

Tucker said the budget included 2 percent raises for hourly employees and 5 per-cent for department heads. A survey found Humboldt department heads had lagged far behind pay for department heads in towns of similar size.

• Improvements in utili-ties.

Purchase of a new gas detector is expected to cost

$8,000 and other improve-ments in the department were put at $4,000.

The water plant, more than 30 years old, has not been updated in years, Tucker said. About $65,000 is earmarked for new plant water meters, an air com-pressor, mechanical sys-tems upgrades, a water la-goon cover and new valves.

The sewer plant also is due upgrades, includ-ing work expected to cost $50,000 to cut down on groundwater flowing into the system. Tucker said the city processed about 100 million gallons of water a year, but treated about 150 million gallons at the sewer plant.

The city also has been ordered by the Environ-mental Protection Agency to make improvements at the plant that are expected to cost about $49,000, along with other upgrades cost-ing about $19,000 to better

its performance.

DAN JULICH, a member of the council’s Finance Committee, said his focus while helping to flesh out the 2013 budget was on the water and sewer plants.

“I think the improve-ments will lead to cost sav-ings in the long run,” he said.

Also, he said building equipment reserves was a good idea for the long term, to keep from having to bor-row money when needs arose.

“Our accountant told us (early this year) we needed to rebuild our reserves,” chimed in Vada Aikins, the other Finance Committee member.

She also spoke in favor of radio communications improvements in Public Works.

A copy of the budget is available at City Hall for public review.

Iola AA team readies for state tournamentBy JOCELYN SHEETS

[email protected] — With a full head

of steam, Iola American Legion Leslie J. Campbell Post 15’s AA Indians go into their second straight Kansas American Le-gion AA State Baseball Tourna-ment.

The AA Indians (37-3) take on the host team, Sabetha, in the late game Wednesday in the opening round of the tournament.

“It has been the goal from the beginning to get back to the state tournament,” said Jarred Latta, right fielder and pitcher for Iola. “We’re going after a better result than last year. We have more ex-perience.”

The AA Indians are coming off winning the KABA tournament then the AA Zone 2 tournament.

“We’re down but never out,” Latta said of several come-from-behind wins in those back-to-back tournaments. He said the team re-ally appreciated the great crowd support that it has received this season.

For the Indians’ second base-man Clint Heffern, the 2012 state tournament is a culmination of a longtime association.

“We’ve been together playing baseball forever starting with peewee traveling ball,” Heffern said. “We have something special as a group and we want to go out right.

“Winning a state championship has been our goal from the very beginning.”

Heffern, who also pitches, said this year’s team has been fo-cused on overcoming adversity in games. He said it shows the char-acter of the AA Indians’ team.

“We understand just how tough it is to win a state championship from last year’s experience.”

In the 2011 state tournament,

the AA Indians went 1-2, winning their opener and losing the next two games.

“The kids are excited to play in another state tournament,” said Mike Taylor, Iola AA team head coach. “We’re getting to play on a great baseball field. A guy in Sabetha used his own money to

build a field of dreams for the Sa-betha Legion baseball program. It’s a great facility and the kids are going to enjoy playing on it.”

The state tournament opens Wednesday and runs through Sunday at Somerset Park.

There are seven zones in Kan-sas AA Legion baseball and the

state host team gets an automat-ic bid to the double-elimination tournament. Schools with enroll-ment of 500 students or fewer are classified as AA in American Le-gion baseball.

LONDON (AP) — China was too good again.

Cao Yuan and Zhang Yanquan extended their country’s diving dominance Monday, winning the men’s 10-meter synchronized platform for China’s second gold medal on the boards at the Lon-don Olympics.

Cao and Zhang totaled 486.78 points in the six-dive final. That spoiled the gold-medal hopes of Britain’s Tom Daley and Peter Waterfield, who were shut out af-ter a major mistake.

The 17-year-old Cao and 18-year-old Zhang are Olympic rookies. But they were unflappable while launching themselves off the 10-meter tower before a partisan crowd shouting “GB! GB!”

The teenagers led Mexico by 10.28 points after the fifth round, but came up big on their final dive, a back 2½ somersault with 2½ twists pike that earned 99.36 points.

German Sanchez and Ivan Gar-cia of Mexico had the highest degree of difficulty in the com-petition and it paid off with the silver. They scored 468.90 to earn Mexico’s first Olympic medal in men’s synchronized diving.

Nick McCrory and David Boudia of the U.S. took the bronze with 463.47.

“It’s not real yet,” Boudia said. “We were about ready to walk out and we were like, ‘Oh, we just got third, we’re bronze medalists.’ I think it will sink in once you see your family, you celebrate, you’re on the ‘Today’ show.”

The Americans are 2-for-2 after Abby Johnston and Kelci Bryant earned a silver in 3-meter syn-chro springboard Sunday, ending a 12-year medal drought.

“The floodgates have opened,” said U.S. high performance director Steve Foley, who began emphasiz-ing success in the synchro events after Beijing. “They did it the hard way. It was a hell of a contest. It could have gone either way.”

McCrory and Boudia were third after the first two rounds before slipping to third. They earned their highest score of 95.04 on their last dive, ripping through a back 2½ somersault 2½ twists pike.

“I watched the Olympics on TV and pointed at it and said, ‘That’s what I want to do,’ and now I’m here,” McCrory said. “I want the sport to grow. I just hope we in-spired some people today.”

Highlights of Day 3 of the Lon-don Olympics:

— Missy Franklin gave a much-

needed boost to U.S. swimming, com-ing back less than 14 minutes after swimming a semifinal heat to win the 100-meter backstroke — the first gold medal of what figures to be a dazzling career for the 17-year-old.

— Fifteen-year-old Ruta Meilutyte broke into tears on the podium after she became the first Lithuanian to win a swimming medal, winning the gold

in the 100 breaststroke.— One day after anchoring the

4x100 relay to win a gold medal, Yan-nick Agnel of France got a second, winning the 200 free in perhaps the most star-studded race of the London Games.

— Americans Matt Grevers and Nick Thoman had a 1-2 finish in the men’s 100 backstroke.

— The Chinese men won their second straight Olympic title in gym-nastics and third in four games after a dismal performance in qualifying.

— A schedule backlog turned the tennis venue at Wimbledon into a pa-rade of Grand Slam champions, and all won. Advancing were Venus and Serena Williams and Roger Federer.

MEDALS— Kim Un Guk won North Korea’s

second weightlifting gold medal and third gold medal overall at the London Olympics while setting a world record total of 327 kilograms in the men’s 62-kilogram division.

— Britain initially was announced

as the silver medalist in the team gym-nastics — setting off a wild celebration by the home crowd, including Princes William and Harry. But Japan ques-tioned the outcome, and after judges huddled around a video screen, the score was revised, giving Japan the silver and dropping the British to a bronze. It was still the British men’s first gymnastics medal in a century.

— China leads all countries with nine golds and is tied with the U.S. with 17 overall medals. The United States has five golds. Japan is third with 11 overall medals.

NOT THEIR FINEST HOUR— Brazilian judo competitor Felipe

Kitadai accidentally broke his Olympic bronze medal when he brought it into the shower as a joke and is trying to have it replaced.

— Swiss soccer player Michel Morganella was expelled from the Olympics for a threatening and racist message on Twitter about South Kore-ans after his team lost to that country Sunday.

— U.S. boxers suffered their first loss in London after a 4-0 start when light heavyweight Marcus Browne was defeated by Damien Hooper of Australia

ROYAL TREATMENT— Zara Phillips, the granddaugh-

ter of Queen Elizabeth II, had a penal-ty-free ride through the cross-country portion of the Olympic equestrian eventing competition, helping Britain to a second-place finish heading into the final round. Her royal cousins, Harry and William, were among those watching in the crowd.

TODAY’S SCHEDULEHIGHLIGHTS

— Women’s gymnastics: team gold medal final.

— Swimming: gold medal finals in men’s 200-meter butterfly, men’s 4x200m freestyle relay, women’s 200-meter freestyle, women’s 200-me-ter individual medley.

— Women’s diving: synchronized platform gold medal final.

HUMBOLDT — Racing fans were revved up Friday night with both the regular stock car divisions at Hum-boldt Speedway along with the Lucas Oil MLRA Late Models.

Jesse Stovall of Galena, Mo., held the outside pole spot in the Late Models feature race. He took full advantage of it at the start of the race, pacing the field in the 30-lap race and win-ning it.

It was Stovall’s second win with the Lucas Oil Midwest Late Model Rac-ing Association (MLRA) series. Series point leader John Anderson of Omaha, Neb., ran second and Brad Looney of Republic, Mo., finished third.

Jeremy Willard, the 2011 points champion in pure stock at Humboldt, hadn’t been racing the past few weeks. Willard was back and notched a wire-to-wire victory in the feature race Friday night.

Derek Michael held off challengers for the runner-up spot with Tyler Kidwell in third place. Levi Phillips finished fourth followed by Matthew Kay in fifth.

Jack Simmons, who drives the Ray’s Metal De-pot No. 62 in B-Mod action, has had a work-in-prog-ress season at Humboldt. Simmons claimed a hard-fought victory Friday night getting to the checkered flag just ahead of Tim Van-Gotten.

Jimmie Davis placed third in B-Mod action with Mike Letterman tak-ing fourth. Jeremy Wilson

rounded out the top five.In USRA modified fea-

ture action, Johnny Bone Jr. racked up another win. The race behind him was intense with Jess Folk Jr. finishing in second fol-lowed by Randy Zimmer-man, John Allen and Scott Daniels.

The drama in factory stock was also behind win-ner Scott Stuart. Tyler James and Brandon Weide battled for second with James getting to the finish line first. Jason Thurman

ran a strong fourth and Daryl Drake was fifth.

This Friday night is Kids’ Night, where kids can get driver autographs at half-time and register to win a bicycle. It is also Gates Cor-poration’s employee appre-ciation night plus a sched-uled visit from the Vintage Racers along with the four regular division racing.

On Saturday, Humboldt Speedway hosts the grand finale to the Allen County Fair — the demolition der-by. The demolition derby

is presented by the Hum-boldt Fire Department in conjunction with the Allen County Fair Board. The derby is at 7 p.m. with a $10 admission fee.

Cheri Clark, president of Advantage Computers of Iola, told Rotarians Thurs-day of the solid growth her company has made over the 32 years it has been in busi-ness here.

Clark said the business started in 1980 selling soft-ware to banks with a couple of employees and has since grown into a multi-faceted operation that sells com-puters, security cameras, telephone systems, soft-ware and services to small businesses over a wide area and employs a staff of 24 full-time.

Advantage now builds computers and servers from scratch and has a staff of nine technicians who

work in the recently built 9,000-square foot building on Miller Road and travel to make repairs when they are needed by any of the hundreds of customers the company serves.

Clark says her company sells to units of govern-ment such as district courts and water districts as well as to banks and other small businesses. In addition to selling computers and soft-ware, Advantage sets up computer networks, pro-vides and installs phone systems, develops websites for businesses, sets up me-ter reading and utility bill-ing systems for rural water districts and small commu-nities and maintains secure

servers to permit custom-ers to back up their data to protect against loss at the home site from computer failure or physical disaster of any kind.

Clark said her company

has grown and diversified because it is always look-ing for ways to solve tech-nology needs for the cus-tomers it serves. She was introduced by Carl Slaugh, program chairman.

Steady growth for Advantage Computers

DALLAS (AP) — Suzy Gershman, whose “Born to Shop” travel guides have helped read-ers find where to browse and buy from Paris to Hong Kong, has died. She was 64.

Gershman died Wednesday in San Anto-nio after being diagnosed about a year ago with brain cancer, said her son, Aaron Gershman, and her co-author, Sarah Lahey.

Since its launch in the mid-1980s, “Born to Shop” series has been translated into a half-dozen languag-es and sold more than 4 million copies world-wide, Lahey said. With a focus on good value and high quality, Gershman was just as comfortable looking for bargains at flea markets as she was at high-end stores like Hermes, said Regan. She said Gershman was also “particularly incisive” on what outlet centers were worth the trip, and could cover all areas of shop-ping, from clothing to home goods to pet gear.

Lahey, who worked with Gershman for the last eight years, said Ger-shman liked to focus on the “hidden gems in each city,” including markets or boutiques that could of-

fer a shop-per some-thing they couldn’t get back home. Lahey said that Gersh-man was a big gift-giv-er whose “theory was that you should bring back a gift that was unique to the area.”

“She loved what she did,” Lahey said. “She loved exploring new plac-es.”

Her son, 32-year-old Aaron Gershman of Los Angeles, who can re-member traveling “every-where” with his globe-trotting mother, said he always admired that she turned a love of shopping and travel into a career.

“From before I could walk, I remember being in a stroller on the big shop-ping streets of Paris,” he said.

After Gershman’s hus-band, Michael Gershman, died in 2000, she decided to move to Paris. Her book “C’est la Vie,” detailed her first year of widowhood.

After about a decade in France, Gershman decid-ed to return to San Anto-nio, where she had grown up and graduated from high school.

LONDON (AP) — Best-selling Irish author Maeve Binchy, 72, one of Ireland’s most popular writers who sold more than 40 million books worldwide, has died in Dublin after a brief illness, Irish media and national leaders said.

She was best known for her depictions of human relationships and their crises, mainly in the small towns of Ireland but also in London.

“She was an outstanding novelist, short story writer and columnist, who en-gaged millions of people all around the world with her fluent and accessible style,” said Ireland’s president, Michael D. Higgins.

Binchy, author of “Cir-cle of Friends” and “Tara Road,” wrote 16 novels, four collections of short stories, a play and a novella. Her work landed her on The New York Times’ bestseller list and in Oprah’s Book Club.

After graduating from University College Dublin, Binchy worked as a teacher before becoming a journal-ist, columnist and editor at the Irish Times, one of the country’s leading newspa-pers.

She later moved to Eng-

land, where she became the newspa-per’s London editor in the early 1970s.

Her first novel, “Light a Penny Candle,” was published in 1982 — after being rejected by five pub-lishers — and became a bestseller.

That book led to an invi-tation to appear on a French TV program, “a terrify-ing serious program about books,” she recalled two years ago in an interview with Donald O’Donoghue of broadcaster RTE.

“Suddenly they asked me, as only the French would, ‘Madame, what is your philosophy of life?’ What a cosmic question, but I had to answer, and an-swer quickly, because it was live.

“So I said, in French, ‘I think that you’ve got to play the hand that you’re dealt and stop wishing for another hand.’”

“I once tried to write a novel about revenge. It’s the only book I didn’t finish. I couldn’t get into the mind of the person who was plot-ting vengeance,” she said.

By DAVE RANNEYKHI News Service

TOPEKA — In an effort to offset a nursing shortage at Larned State Hospital, the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Ser-vices this week announced that it had raised registered nurses’ wages.

Starting pay for a regis-tered nurse was increased to $29.73 per hour. It had been $23.31.

“We’re hoping that with these pay increases, re-cruitment will step up and that vacancy rate will go down,” said Angela de Ro-cha, a KDADS spokeswom-an.

Earlier this week, 23 of the Larned hospital’s 84 registered nurse positions were vacant.

Larned State Hospital is one of three state-run hos-pitals for the mentally ill.

In March, The Joint Com-mission cited the hospital for not having enough nurs-es and for not doing enough to ensure that medications were safely dispensed. The findings put the hospital’s accreditation, and poten-tially $14.5 million in fed-eral aid, in jeopardy.

The hospital has since filed a plan for correcting 30 deficiencies cited in The Joint Commission survey.

The accreditation or-ganization’s surveyors are expected to return for an unannounced in-spection between now and Sept. 27.

KDADS also is negotiat-ing a pay increase for the hospital’s licensed practi-cal nurses, who are rep-resented by the Kansas Organization of State Em-ployees.

Currently, starting wage for a licensed practical nurse at Larned State Hos-pital is $14.30 per hour. Fifteen of the hospital’s 37 licensed practical nurse po-sitions are vacant.

The nurses’ pay raises were part of a $1.9 million budget amendment intro-duced by Gov. Sam Brown-back during this year’s legislative session. The amendment, which passed, also allowed the hospital to hire 23 additional direct care workers.

De Rocha said 12 of the 23 positions have been filled.

The amendment did not include pay raises for nurs-es at the other state hospi-tals.

“I think it’s totally un-fair the RNs in one out of the five hospitals get a salary increase and the rest don’t,” said Rep. Bill Feuerborn, a Garnett Democrat and ranking minority member on the House Appropriations Committee.

Kansas has three state-run hospitals for the men-tally ill — at Larned, Kan-sas City and Osawatomie — and two for the develop-mentally disabled, in Par-sons and Topeka.

After this week, a regis-tered nurse at Larned State Hospital will earn between $6 and $7 an hour more than a registered nurse at one of the other state hospitals.

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 ev-ery column and once in every 3x3 box. One-star puzzles are for begin-ners, and the difficulty gradually increases through the week to a very chal-lenging five-star puzzle.

Diabetes is only one cause of neuropathyDear Dr. Donohue: Will

you please expand on neu-ropathy? I have it in both legs and feet. Very painful. Are there medicines for it?

All articles say that it comes from being diabetic. I do not have diabetes. Is exer-cise good for it? — M.R.

Answer: Peripheral neu-ropathy, your illness, refers to nerves that are outside the brain and spinal cord. These nerves connect to muscles for body movement (motor

nerves), detect both pleasant and unpleasant sensations (sensory nerves) and regu-late the function of many

organs, including things like the beating of the heart and normalization of blood pres-sure (autonomic nerves).

One discouraging aspect of neuropathy is only about 50 percent of people ever know the cause of their con-dition. However, even when a definite cause can’t be identi-fied, treatments are available. When a cause of neuropathy is found, diabetes is high on the list of those causes. It’s far from being the sole cause.

For sensory neuropathy, medicines that control pain are prescribed. This often depends on trial-and-error until the best medicine for a specific person is found. Lyrica (pregabalin) is a favor-ite choice. A lidocaine patch that numbs pain is applied over the painful area for re-lief. Neurontin (gabapentin), Cymbalta (duloxetine) and Elavil (amitriptyline) are oth-er medicines that have quiet-ed sensory neuropathies.

66 percent of cornin poor condition

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A new government report is putting some grim num-bers to the status of major crops across Kansas.

In its weekly crop condi-tion report, Kansas Agri-cultural Statistics Service said Monday that 66 per-cent of the corn crop is in poor to very poor condi-tion. Twenty-four percent is in fair condition, with 9 percent rated good and only 1 percent rated in excellent condition.

About 2 percent of the corn acreage has been har-vested for grain, in the ear-liest start to the corn har-vest in Kansas history.

Other major Kansas

crops are not faring much better, with many stands withering amid a brutal drought and triple-digit temperatures burn up crops.

The agency reported 59 percent of the soybean crop is in poor to very poor con-dition. About 56 percent of sorghum falls into that cat-egory.

House hopeful files as independent

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas House candidate expects to run as an inde-pendent after being denied a spot on the ballot as a Democrat because his filing form was lost.

Larry Meeker of Lake

Quivira submitted peti-tions Monday to the secre-tary of state’s office with the signatures of 1,300 reg-istered voters. He needed about half that many signa-tures from within the 17th House District in the Kan-sas City area to qualify as an independent candidate in the November general election.

Secretary of State Kris Kobach’s office should know within a few days whether enough of the sig-natures are valid.

Democrats contend that Kobach’s office lost Meek-er’s filing form after it was delivered on the June 11 deadline. The secretary of state’s office says there was no proof it was submitted.
