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

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-

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

By PHIL GALEWITZKaiser Health News

The nation’s top health offi-cial signaled that states should not try to use the Supreme Court’s ruling on President Obama’s health care law to make it more difficult for low-income people to qualify for Medicaid.

While the Supreme Court upheld most provisions of the health law in its landmark rul-ing last month, the justices ruled that the federal govern-ment could not penalize states that choose not to expand Med-icaid by cutting off all fund-ing for existing Medicaid pro-grams.

In a letter to the nation’s gov-ernors, Health and Human Ser-vices Secretary Kathleen Sebe-lius warned that “the court’s decision did not affect other provisions of the law” gov-erning the joint federal-state health insurance program for the poor and disabled.

A White House official said that means states are still barred from reducing eligibil-ity for Medicaid.

Some state officials in Maine and several other Republican-led states have seized on the court ruling as effectively in-

By LISA MASCAROTribune Washington BureauWASHINGTON — The game

of chicken over the nation’s im-pending “fiscal cliff ” — the au-tomatic tax hikes and spending cuts due if Congress fails to act by year-end — has officially be-gun.

Congressional Democratic leaders made clear Monday that they have no interest in averting the bleak scenario if Republi-cans continue to refuse to soften their hard-line opposition to higher taxes on wealthier Amer-icans.

“If Republicans won’t work with us on a balanced approach, we are not going to get a deal,” said Sen. Patty Murray of Wash-ington, the No. 4 Democrat and the party’s senatorial campaign chairwoman, during a talk at the Brookings Institution.

The Democrats’ hardball ne-

gotiating position unleashed a whirlwind of criticism from Re-publicans, who said the tactics would hurt the economy by add-ing to the uncertainty.

But the Democrats’ approach was used last year by the GOP during talks with President Barack Obama over the nation’s debt limit. Analysts have said that standoff did not help the sluggish economy.

“Has it come to this, that Dem-ocrats are willing to hurt jobs and tank our economy?” asked House Speaker John A. Boehner, R-Ohio.

Once again, both parties are trying to use Congress to define the political narrative heading toward November.

Senate Democrats sought Monday to advance legislation that would require any organiza-tion — including political com-mittees or social welfare groups

— to more fully identify its fi-nancial contributors. The legis-lation would mandate disclosure within 24 hours of expenditures of $10,000 or more, as well as the identity of donors giving at least $10,000. Republicans blocked the effort with a filibuster.

At the same time, House Re-publicans were readying an attack on Obama’s budget pri-orities, voting this week on leg-islation that would roll back the massive Pentagon spending cuts coming in January. Congress agreed to the reductions last summer as part of a deal with the White House to raise the debt ceiling. That pact required cuts equally from military and non-military spending.

Republicans have tradition-ally supported robust defense spending, and GOP leaders want

Small town life appeals to new hospital staffer

By ROB BURKETTrob@iolaregister.com

David-Paul Cavazos is a reader. He enjoys different genres that can transport him away for hours at a time. Just as characters in his books, Cavazos has taken a leap of faith and finds himself in Iola.

That leap has landed Cavazos in the position of director of im-aging at Allen County Hospital.

The son of a career Army of-ficer, Cavazos spent a lot of time growing up in far-flung parts of the world. From as far away as Germany to as close as Fort Leav-enworth.

“I had a lot of different experi-ences that I enjoyed when I was younger,” Cavazos said. “But by the time I got to high school, I was ready to stick in one place.”

Cavazos was firmly planted in the Kansas City area. After graduation, Cavazos didn’t know what he wanted to do with him-self. He went to Northwest Mis-

souri State University for a while before deciding to change routes and go into X-ray technology in preparation for a career in nucle-ar medicine, first at Penn Valley Community College before finish-ing at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. It was something he thought long and hard about.

“I want to help people,” Cavazos said. “I thought radiology would be a good way to help people but not have to deal with the crazy schedule that doctors and nurses deal with.”

After technical school Cavazos did his clinical trials at Truman Memorial Hospital in the K.C. area. That led him to a seven-year stint as part of the staff at North Kansas City Hospital.

An attempt at working at a smaller private company that did imaging for different hospi-tals didn’t work out. A calculated

New attorney comes to Iola By ALLSISON TINN

allison@iolaregister.comA new attorney has recently

joined the Iolan community. Steve Staker began working

with the Immel Works & Heim firm in January and though he has been commuting 50 minutes from Fredonia each day for work, he has been settling in well at the firm, he says.

“Everyone here at the firm, court house and county clerk’s office have all been friendly and great to work with,” he said. “I have enjoyed practicing here so

far.” He lives in Fredonia because

his wife is a first-year teacher at its high school. He says he doesn’t mind the drive.

Staker graduated from Wash-burn and went to law school at William & Mary in Williamsburg, Va. He has practiced criminal law in the past and still does, but has been learning to do more civil cases.

“I have been trying to learn some new things like being a general practice attorney and working on the civil side of law,” Staker said.

Death a suspected suicideA shot fired in the direction of

law enforcement officers shortly after 9 p.m. Sunday was thought to be the unintended result of an apparent suicide.

Undersheriff Bryan Murphy said he, deputy Daren Keller-man and David Ingle, an Iola po-lice officer, were checking on the welfare of Mark Ard, 39, when a rifle bullet came close to them at a farmstead along Florida Road between 3600 and 3800 streets.

Ard later was found in a thick-et, dead of a head wound. An assault-type rifle was found next to the body.

Murphy said officers were looking for Ard after fam-

ily members asked for a welfare check.

“We heard one shot and then a second, when a bullet came near us,” Murphy said.

As a precaution, other officers were called to assist, including Kansas Highway Patrol troopers trained to deal with situations involving firearms.

In retrospect, Murphy said he thought the second shot was fired from the semi-automatic ri-fle as it was falling to the ground.

The search for Ard started af-ter his pickup truck was spotted at the farm. Murphy said no note explaining what occurred was found.

HUMBOLDT — Reorganiza-tion and position appointments were the primary business of Monday night’s USD 258 Board of Education meeting.

Curt Mueller was reappointed president of the board — the call was unanimous. “I will do it one more year then I will pass it on,” Mueller said.

Steve Sellman was elected as vice president and talk of his being groomed to become presi-dent was mentioned.

The board went through an

A-Z list of consent agenda items. One being the approval of in-creasing vehicle mileage reim-bursement from 51.5 to 55 cents per mile.

“We have very little mileage reimbursement, so really we just follow the state guidelines,” superintendent K.B. Criss said.

Mueller also was reappointed as Kansas Association of School Boards governmental relations representative, which he held last year as well.

Board member Sandy Whita-ker was appointed as board rep-

Sebelius urges states to cooperate

validating another part of the law, which bars states from tightening Medicaid eligibility. That provision, first enacted in 2009 when the economic stimulus package boost-ed federal Medicaid dol-lars, was extended under the 2010 federal health law.

The state officials note the penalty for rolling back eligibility is the same one the high court found “coercive” if states fail to expand Medicaid – the loss of all federal funding for existing Med-icaid programs. They say the ruling gives states the option to start cutting Medicaid immediately to save money.

Sebelius does not ex-plicitly address that argu-ment in her letter.

However, as a growing number of Republican governors express reser-vations about the Medic-aid expansion, she said she is “hopeful” state leaders take advantage of the law’s “unusually gen-erous federal resources” to broaden the program to cover everyone with incomes up to 133 percent of the federal poverty level. She noted the fed-eral government will pay the entire cost for three years, from 2014 to 2017, and at least 90 percent af-ter that.

At least seven Repub-lican governors, includ-ing those in Florida and Texas, have said they won’t expand Medicaid

under the health law because the long-term cost remains prohibi-tive.

Currently, the bill for Medicaid, which cov-ers more than 60 million people, is split between states and the federal gov-ernment, with the federal government paying 57 percent of expenses on average. It is the nation’s single largest insurance program.

If states choose not to expand Medicaid, Se-belius said their poor-est citizens would be exempt from the health law’s provision requiring most Americans to have health insurance. She said people who are not financially eligible for the exemption could still get a “hardship” waiver as allowed by the law.

Sebelius also said she planned to hold meet-ings with state officials this summer “to address challenges and talk about how we will con-tinue to move forward.” The first meeting is slat-ed for July 31 in Wash-ington, D.C.

Sebelius’ letter comes a week after the National Governor’s Association raised several questions about the Medicaid ex-pansion and the same day Republican gover-nors sent her more than 13 questions about Med-icaid stemming from the court decision.

Sebelius, who is sched-uled to speak Wednesday at a health policy forum

in Washington, left sever-al questions unanswered, including whether states that opt not to set up on-line insurance exchanges will be permitted to cut Medicaid eligibility in 2014.

In recent months, the Obama administration has worked with several states, including Wiscon-sin and Illinois, to allow them to restrict eligibil-ity for Medicaid, or make it harder to enroll, if they can prove they face a bud-get deficit.

Illinois last week, with federal approval, was able to remove more than 25,000 parents from its Medicaid program.

The switch in practices has been a scary process for Staker because “any-time you are doing some-thing new it takes you out of your comfort level.”

Staker is on contract with the Allen County Courthouse on felony cases

when the public defender’s office has a conflict case — what is called a conflicts contract.

He spends most of his time working in Allen County but also does work with Wilson and Woodson County, “basically the 31st

judicial district,” he said. Though Staker and his

family are a distance away from Iola he is trying to be-come more involved in the community and even ran the 5K Charley Melvin Mad Bomber Run For Your Life race last weekend.

chance had turned sour.After technical school

Cavazos did his clinical tri-als at Truman Memorial Hospital in the K.C. area. That led him to a seven-year stint as part of the staff at North Kansas City Hospital.

An attempt at working at a smaller private company that did imaging for differ-ent hospitals didn’t work out. A calculated chance had turned sour.

“I went to work for a guy and his brother,” Cavazos said. “I enjoyed the work but these two guys were those kinds of people that when they lost interest they would sell the business. So I got laid off for a year.”

During that time, Cavazos contemplated sev-eral different possibilities including going back to school for further educa-tion. That didn’t happen af-ter his phone rang from an employment agency he was a client of.

“I got a call out of the blue,” Cavazos recalled. “They told me about Allen County Hospital. I came down and interviewed and then went through a waiting period when they changed the CEO here.”

Since getting to Iola, life has been an adjustment. Then dealing with the move to southeast Kansas which has been a gradual and, at times, stressful experience.

“I spent the first few

weeks living in a hotel dur-ing the week and then go-ing back to Kansas City on the weekends,” Cavazos explained. “We wanted to wait until after the school year to move and so that process has been a stressful period.”

Having finally settled into a home in the area, the father of three, Faith, 9, Isaac 6 and Abram, 14 months, is looking forward to evenings spent as a fami-ly again. Though one of his children is from an earlier marriage, so he’ll spend time getting back to Kansas City on a regular basis.

He and his wife, Laura have started to take in the community as well. Iola has made a positive impression thus far on Cavazos.

“I think it’s a great little community,” Cavazos said. “You go to other towns like Iola and main street is boarded up. Here on the square there are shops and restaurants open for busi-ness. I think it’s a great tes-tament to the people here. Organizations like Thrive Allen County have also im-pressed me with the way they help the community.”

Looking toward the fu-ture, Cavazos is excited about the possibilities.

“I enjoy working with my peers here,” Cavazos said. “Of course getting a chance to help grow into a brand new hospital here is going to be great. I feel so lucky to be here when we are grow-ing like we are.”

Sunflower Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, which holds the deed to the rail route, has filed the deed in Allen County and the Allen Coun-ty attorney is designated to discuss legal questions about the project.

All volunteer hours on the trail should be recorded with the trail committee.

HUMBOLDT — The Al-len County Fair is a family affair for Jack Ellis. Since the oldest of the seven El-lis children joined Logan Pals 4-H Club 40 years ago, Ellis has been involved in helping his children and grandchildren get ready for the fair each year.

“It’s something we all enjoy,” he said.

Ellis wasn’t in 4-H as a youngster even though he grew up on a farm near Colony. He and wife Mary-lyn have lived on their farm south of Humboldt for 40 years, where they raised a family and now where another generation is learning how to show 4-H animals.

“Sheri was the first one to join 4-H when she was in seventh grade,” Ellis said. “She started out in arts and crafts and had hogs. We had hogs several years, but then one of the kids showed a steer and it was easier. We’ve liked steers ever since.”

Currently Ellis has eight grandchildren — and six younger ones ea-gerly waiting their turn when old enough — who will be showing five steers and three hogs this year.

Usually the steers, weighing about 700 pounds, are purchased in October with the annual county fair still nine months away in mind.

“The kids are respon-sible for taking care of their animals,” Ellis ex-plained of his grandchil-dren who reside in town. “They come out about ev-ery day to work with the animals.”

The steers need to gain weight and be trained to be led with a rope before show time. A month before the fair, work with the animals becomes a daily chore.

“We start washing them, leading them around and training them to set up for showing,” Ellis said. “They are haltered and tied up in the shade with a fan,” to

help them be prepared for a week-long stint in the animal barns.

“I think the younger kids watch the older ones and they become interest-ed in 4-H and the animals,” Mrs. Ellis said.

As fair days grow clos-er, the steers’ feet are trimmed, they are sheared, shampooed and cleaned.

“They get some serious cleaning,” Ellis said. “We might weigh them a couple of times too, to make sure they will be ready for the fair.”

The whole family — including sons-in-law — takes part in getting ready for and attending the fair, using vacation time to haul the animals from the farm to Iola.

“The first couple of days (of the fair) are stressful,” Ellis said, “but, once the animals are weighed in, then it’s easy. It’s a big re-lief when they weigh in good.”

Ellis enjoys watching the young people show their steers and hogs and attending the rodeo.

Sometimes the kids get attached to animals they have worked with for

months, even giving them a name, but results of the livestock sale makes sepa-ration easier.

“The kids have to pay for feed and expenses, then they keep what’s left over,” Ellis said. “They like to buy school clothes.”

Teryn Johnson, 11, son of John and Staci (Ellis) Johnson, is the youngest of the Ellis clan in Lo-gan Pals this year. Taylyn Wells, 18, daughter of Da-vid and Soni (Ellis) Wells, is the oldest and will end her 11-year 4-H career this year.

“I like being out here on the farm,” Taylyn said. “At the fair I like to hang out with my fam-ily and friends. I keep my animals fed and I help out my friends and cousins.”

Taylyn will show two steers and tries to keep in mind what her Grandpa Jack said about the ani-mals being “a project.”

“But, on the last day, I cry,” she said as she pat-ted “Ol’ Red” on the neck.

She tried showing pigs when she first joined 4-H 11 years ago, but soon changed her efforts to

steers when the pigs act-ed “wild.”

“All my steers have had different personalities,” Taylyn said. “Like my black one (referred to as Big’n) he is lazy and stub-born. He doesn’t like to walk anywhere, but ‘Ol’ Red’ he’ll actually jog along behind me.”

Taylyn plans to at-tend Allen Commu-nity College in Iola next year on a softball scholarship and wants to go into physical edu-cation and maybe agri-culture.

“All the kids come back to help the younger ones,” Mrs. Ellis said. “The whole family helps during the fair.”

Ellis, 70, said his help is more in giving advice, but if the grandkids have to be out of town for school activities, for example, he’s there to step in and care for their animals. Once this year’s fair is over, planning starts right away for next year.

“We start planning and seeing how we can im-prove by correcting mis-takes,” Ellis said.

The Square B 4-H club Reunion was May 28 at the Carlyle Church.

The meeting was called to order by president Shannon Vo-gel, the flag salute and 4-H pledge were led by John Hutton and Levi Meiwes.

Community leader Wade Vogel welcomed everyone to the re-union. He gave a brief history of the club and recognized origi-nal members of the club. Of the original 13 members, six were present.

The regular June monthly meeting was June 11 at the First Church of the Naza-rene.

The meeting was called to order by Shannon Vogel and the flag salute and pledges were led by Emily and Erin Klubek. Members were reminded of the upcoming county fair and all of the events that are scheduled.

Prairie Dell 4-H club presented the pro-gram, in an exchange meeting with Square B.

County fair season is here, the week nearly every 4-H member has worked and waited for since the fair ended last year. It is a time of year when youths from across the county get together to showcase their projects, but more impor-tantly, it is a time for 4-H families to be together.

We have an awesome group of leaders and par-ents who work hard to make sure kids are attend-ing monthly meetings, par-ticipating in leadership activities, and working “to make the best better.”

Participation in county fairs is an opportunity and privilege for 4-H members. If they choose to partici-pate, they are in effect ask-ing for an adult to give his or her opinion regarding the quality of their exhibit or participation. Having asked for this opinion they should accept it gracefully and learn from it.

The county fair is an im-portant piece of the total 4-H program, and in most cases is the most visible. At the fair, 4-H members have several opportunities to:

• Show to the public what they’ve learned and accom-plished in 4-H.

• Develop project skills. • Develop responsibility

and self-confidence.

• Gain knowledge, coun-sel, and encouragement from judges and others.

• Develop leadership skills by assuming fair re-sponsibilities and working together with others.

• Learn new and better methods.

• Compare their work with a “standard” and with other 4-H’ers.

• Receive recognition and learn the importance of be-ing both a good winner and a good loser.

• Share ideas and make friends with other 4-H members.

Leaders, parents and Extension professionals also have objectives for the county fair, including:

• To help youth develop knowledge and practical skills in science and tech-nology.

• To stimulate personal growth and physical, men-tal, and behavioral develop-ment of youths.

• To help youths become responsible citizens.

• To develop effective adult and youth leadership.

Remember, each of our 4-H members is responsible for exhibits. Good sports-manship means they took time to listen to the judges’ critique and learn from an-other’s viewpoint.

No one is to blame when a project doesn’t come to-gether like we had expected — but oftentimes more is learned from the project that receives more criti-cism.

While some of our 4-H members are proud of their projects, others may be disappointed, I hope ev-ery competitor is gracious regardless of the ribbon taken home.

Fair teaches to compete gracefully 4-H news If you have ever been el-

bow deep into a recipe only to discover you are miss-ing a key ingredient, you know how frustrating that can be. It may leave you wondering how to substi-tute something else for that ingredient and hoping it doesn’t alter your product TOO much!

Good news. A recently updated K-State Research and Extension publication features alphabetical list-ings for substitutions for more than 100 recipe ingre-dients.

“Ingredient substitu-tions” includes recom-mended stand-ins for es-sential items — baking powder, condiments, spices, or dairy products — that may be missing from the cupboard.

“Ingredients typically fulfill specific roles in reci-pes,” said Karen Blakeslee, K-State Research and Ex-tension food scientist who recently updated the kitch-en guide. “While some re-sults may vary in color or texture, recommended sub-stitutions are typically suc-cessful stand-ins and will yield an acceptable prod-uct.”

Examples of recom-mended substitutions:

• Use all-purpose flour or granulated tapioca to re-place cornstarch as a thick-

ening agent.• Substitute plain yogurt

or sour milk blended with butter or margarine for sour cream.

Suggested substitutions also provide simple reci-pes, such as combining to-mato sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, ground cinnamon, cloves and allspice for chili sauce, or blending molas-ses with granulated sugar as a substitution for brown sugar.

A four-page, three-hole punched folder version of the publication is avail-able at each of the South-wind Extension offices for 50 cents each, limit 2 per person, please. Larger quantities may be pur-chased from the K-State Research and Extension Bookstore: www.ksre.ksu.edu/library.

Mitt Romney says his experi-ence in business best qualifies him to be president. He made himself very, very rich by cre-ating and operating Bain Capi-tal, a company that specialized in taking over ailing busi-nesses and nursing them back to life or allowing them to die natural, but profitable, deaths.

The Obama campaign has focused on that claim, as it should, since it is the bedrock of Romney’s own case.

Obama has said Bain sent thousands of well-paying American jobs to China in 2000 and 2001. Romney said his name was on the Bain mast-head while those jobs were shipped abroad but he was turning the company over to his partners at the time and was not responsible for the de-cisions made.

Rather than dwell on the particulars of Bain Capital and its machinations, a more pertinent question is whether experience in business is the best qualification for the presi-dency. U.S. history doesn’t give that theory much credibility.

Herbert Hoover, whose one-term presidency in 1928-32 doomed the Republican Party for decades, may have been the most successful businessman ever to hold the office.

For whatever combination of reasons, most of the out-standing presidents in our nation’s history gained their expertise in governing by serv-ing in lesser governmental po-sitions such as governorships. Others, such as Dwight D. Eisenhower, gained the public fame that propelled them into

the presidency in other public fields.

Fundamental to the art of governing in a democracy is the ability to accommodate the views and convictions of others. Equally important is the ability to choose outstanding men and women to serve in the cabinet and then to work with those co-administrators in harmony.

Captains of industry, in con-trast, are by nature autocrats. They are accustomed to hav-ing their decisions carried out. They are not natural compro-misers. They tend not to ap-point co-workers who might become competitors for author-ity. When they are right, their companies succeed. When they are wrong, they are replaced and disappear, a process which happens much more abruptly in industry than can occur in the elected offices of our gov-ernment.

The point is that the United States of America is not a gi-ant corporation that can be ad-ministered as though it were IBM or Google. The skills and personal attributes that lead to business success are not transferable to the presidency. That isn’t to say that a good business man cannot become a capable governor or presi-dent. But it is to argue that making a ton of money by re-organizing sick corporations is just as likely to give a man a false sense of his ability to solve America’s problems as it is to turn him into the next Abraham Lincoln — who, inci-dentally, never was much of a business success.

Wichita is the fourth-largest city in the United States with-out fluoride in its water. A group of health-minded citi-zens there, calling themselves “Wichitans for Healthy Teeth,” has collected more than 2,500 signatures supporting fluori-dation and continues to work. When they have at least 6,300 signatures they will take their petition to the city council.

Dr. Sara Meng, a Wichita dentist, told an AP reporter that nearly 500 Wichita den-tists and health providers and about 50 state and local organi-zations are backing the effort.

Given the propensity for folks on the fringe to question health science, it is not surpris-ing that two groups, Wichitans for Pure Water and Fluoride Free Kansas, materialized to fight fluoridation there.

The late Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan once said that “ev-eryone is entitled to his own opinions — but no one is en-titled to his own set of facts.”

The fact is that fluoride in public water supplies reduces cavities in teeth and is par-ticularly effective in reducing the cavity rate in the teeth of growing children. This is not a theory. It is a well-demonstrat-ed fact.

Fluoridation causes no harm to people. Many U.S. communi-ties have fluoridated their wa-ter supplies for decades — as Iola has — and their history demonstrates that the rate of tooth decay has declined in those towns and cities without any offsetting health effects. The cost of providing the pro-tection is too small to calculate for the amount of water a typi-cal family consumes daily.

Some arguments exist in which there are not two sides. The value of fluoridation to dental health is one of them. Wichita should join the 21st cen-tury and give its citizens — es-pecially its children — the ben-efit of modern dental science.

— Emerson Lynn, jr.

Heat, heat, heat, a week of 100-degree temperatures capped by 108 degrees midweek. That’s hot!

I didn’t get out very much. And, of course, when I did it was from an air-conditioned house to air-conditioned car to air-conditioned destination. When I was out, I was inclined to say to whomever would listen, “You know this heat would kill a lot of us old folks if we didn’t have air-conditioning.”

And, indeed it would. I recall when I was in medical school in the late forties, the Chicago news-papers would keep a running toll of people judged to have suc-cumbed just because of the heat. It would quickly rise to three digits, and keep going. In recent years, we have had government programs to supplement the in-comes of the elderly, who would otherwise turn off their air-con-ditioners in fear of electric bills they could not afford.

I remember the thirties on the farm. They were not only the years of the Great Depression, they were the years of record hot summers, and on the Great Plains, dust storms. We didn’t have dust storms in Illinois, though some Kansas topsoil blew that far — where I suspect Illinois farmers are still farming it.

Heat? Well, for one thing you don’t have electric fans without electricity, and most of rural America didn’t have electricity in the thirties. The electric trusts didn’t figure they could make money wiring scattered farms and ranches.

FDR and the New Deal did it

with the Rural Electrification Act, saving a few more lives and vastly improved standards of living, as they were prone to do. The federal government even increased the sources of electricity by building hydroelectric dams, particularly the Tennessee Valley Adminis-tration in the heart of the South, and the great dams of the Pacific Northwest.

Nevertheless, when I was mak-ing speeches, I would tell people I grew up in the dark. Most were not surprised. I was in the dark until I was age 10, and that was overcome only by moving to the edge of town, not waiting for elec-tricity to come to the farm. By the way, America’s big electric com-panies were eager to buy cheap electricity from the TVA, and ped-dle it in areas where profits were for sure.

When was it cool on the farm? It wasn’t except for root cellars, which were for potatoes, and, at our house for root beer in Mason jars, and a little homemade wine during Prohibition. Few farms had ice houses, but you could buy ice in town, wrap it in a gunny sack, or two, and it’d last long enough to make ice cream a cou-ple of times.

In a stop along the way in my

life, I experienced medical school labs which could be hot (and smelly), but not as hot as my op-erating rooms were when I got to Kansas and Forbes Air Force Base.

Our hospital was a series of connected barracks, one of which was the operating suite. In the hot, hot summers of 1953 and ’54, we postponed the surgeries we could, and did what we must in a 100-degree operating room. Some-one would stand behind me and wipe my brow with a towel, hop-ing to avoid perspiration drop-ping into the sterile field.

But soon air-conditioning came in waves. Our first centrally air-conditioned home on Burnett Road was the achievement of a young Homer McElroy, who has also hung around (at 95) to ob-serve the 21st century. And, my gosh, we soon had air-conditioned cars.

Maybe Homer and I have made it this far in part because we have had more than shade trees and sleeping porches to keep us cool. Meanwhile, all you kids under 65, it wasn’t always this way. There was a time when 108 degrees meant you were going to lose your cool — and sometimes your lives.

You call this hot? In my day ...

Bill RoySomeone would stand behind me and wipe my brow with a towel, hoping to avoid perspi-ration dropping into the sterile field.

Dear editor,As a concerned citizen of Hum-

boldt, I ask this question: Why do we exclude the people who have businesses in Humboldt but re-side in rural Humboldt from vot-ing on the sales tax issue. Hum-boldt business owners who live outside the city limits charge and pay sales taxes same as the resi-dents of Humboldt. As an option, why not consider anyone who pays utilities to the City of Hum-boldt would have a vote on the sales tax issue.

To the citizens who care about this sales tax increase, you might take notice that you have to be a registered voter to vote on the half-cent sales tax increase. If you are not registered, you have until Aug. 28 to do so.

Don Mohler,Humboldt, Kan.

Editor’s note: Those who live in rural townships have their own taxing entities. Every registered voter in Humboldt is eligible to participate in this special election to raise money to repair the city’s streets. Ballots will be mailed mid-August and are due Sept. 11, when they will be counted.

To the editor,This letter is to endorse Ed

Bideau for representative, Kansas House, 9th District. There are two other Republican candidates for this position so this race will be decided in the August Republican primary. The other two candidates may be honorable people; I don’t know them but do want to share with you what I do know to be true about candidate Ed Bideau.

My first memory of Ed is when he would occasionally come into a grocery store where I worked. He would have been in his early teens. I went into the Army (Viet-nam) and Ed went on into high school. I was hired by the Cha-nute Police Department in 1968; Ed came on board as assistant county attorney in 1974. His first case, as prosecuting attorney, was one I was very much involved in and he pursued it to a successful conclusion. In 1976 he was elect-ed Neosho County attorney and again in 1980.

Keep in mind, in those days respect and trust were earned, not given. Ed has both trust and respect of those around him. He worked closely with the Chanute police, the Neosho County sheriff

and other surrounding county/city law enforcement. We put a lot of bad guys (and some not quite as bad) behind bars. Ed went on to be elected twice as our repre-sentative to the Kansas House, all while building a successful private law practice. He has al-ways been devoted to his family, his church, his community and for many years was chair of the Kansas Law Enforcement Train-ing Commission. He is also my family’s attorney when legal rep-resentation or opinion is needed.

About Ed Bideau the man: hon-est, trustworthy, loyal, ethical and honorable. Ed has the ability to analyze an issue from many dif-ferent angles before reaching a conclusion. He has a strong moral sense of right and wrong, of jus-tice. Having served as representa-tive before gives him a definite ad-vantage going in. Can he solve all the problems in Topeka? No. Can he give the best representation of the people of Allen/Neosho coun-ties in the Kansas House, 9th Dis-trict? Yes, no one better!

Respectfully, Vernon A. Shultz,

Chanute chief of police, Chanute, Kan.

"We're Dealin' and We Want Your Business!"

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Considered a pioneer in the self-help genre aimed at helping readers become more productive in their lives, author Stephen R. Covey had an enormous impact on both the corpo-rate world and the personal lives of millions.

The well-known motiva-tional speaker and author

of the best-selling “The Seven Habits of Highly Ef-fective People,” which sold more than 20 million copies in 38 languages, died Mon-day at a hospital in Idaho Falls, Idaho, due to compli-cations from a bicycle acci-dent in April, according to his family.

Covey was hospital-ized in April after being

knocked unconscious in the bike crash on a steep road in the foothills of Provo, Utah, about 45 miles south of Salt Lake City.

At the time of his bicycle accident, his publicist, Deb-ra Lund, said doctors had not found any signs of long-term damage to his head.

“He just lost control on his bike and crashed,”

Lund said. “He was wear-ing a helmet, which is good news.”

Catherine Sagers, Cov-ey’s daughter, told The Salt Lake Tribune in April that her father had suffered some bleeding on his brain after the accident.

IN REGARDS to his book, “This was one of the

first in recent times that was really directed at prior-itizing the way you worked, so you could be more effec-tive as an individual” said Adrian Zackheim, presi-dent and publisher of Port-folio, a business imprint at Penguin Group (USA). “It wasn’t about how to be a manager or how or to run a company. It was about how to conduct yourself.

Covey was a bit baffled by his success. He said he was simply telling people what he thought they already knew: the efficacy of good behavior. All that people had to do was form habits out of their best instincts,

he said, calling his seven nuggets of knowledge natu-ral laws, like gravity. They are:

1. Be proactive2. Begin with the end in

mind3. Put first things first4. Think “win-win.”5. Seek first to under-

stand, then to be under-stood

6. Synergize7. Sharpen the saw; that

is, undergo frequent self-renewal.

“Remember, to learn and not to do is really not to learn. To know and not to do is really not to know,” Covey wrote in the foreword.

‘Seven Habits’ author Stephen Covey dies at 79

resentative for the district technology, a position that should be “more active this year,” according to Mueller.

Humboldt’s recreation budget was approved, but board member Larry Men-doza noted that in his opin-ion he does not “see any

improvements” in the rec-reation department.

The board agreed to reconvene on that topic later when they have had a chance to meet with the recreation director.

Criss added the only im-provements he had seen were “supervisor (respon-sibilities) were being taken away and being given to the director” making the de-partment more efficient.

Wayne McDown was ap-proved to become Hum-

boldt’s recreation board member, Cara Thomas was approved for the high school assistant volleyball position and Kelcie Owens for assistant high school basketball coach.

The board approved a double-sided food serving line, which has been priced at $34,194.

Democrats, though, are unwilling to spare the Pen-tagon at the expense of the school lunch program and other non-defense ac-counts the GOP has tar-

geted to make up the dif-ference.

Instead, Obama and his allies on the Hill would prefer to raise taxes on wealthier Amer-icans by allowing the George W. Bush-era tax breaks on annual income of $250,000 or more to expire in December as

scheduled.Economists have

warned that the combina-tion of higher taxes and steep spending cuts could spark a new recession.

Democrats believe Re-publicans might be willing to compromise once the spending cuts and tax in-creases are felt.

UNIONTOWN — Two Uniontown High School cheerleaders will partici-pate in New York City’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Brittany Tanner, a se-nior, and Jana Wilkinson, a sophomore, earned all-American honors during a National Cheerleaders Association two-day clin-ic earlier this summer at UHS for its 18 cheerlead-ers.

Lauren Rockhold, an-other senior, also attained all-American status, but decided against partici-pating in the parade.

The trio’s all-American designation came on the recommendation of NCA representatives who put on the clinic, and assessed skills and talents of the Uniontown cheerleaders.

“I’m excited about going

to New York City and being in the parade,” said Wilkin-son. “It’s a great honor.”

Tanner agreed.“I’m really excited about

performing in the parade,” she said. “It’s an honor to be selected as an all-American cheerleader. I’m thrilled that I was allowed to have this experience.”

Once in New York, the girls will spend much of their time practicing and preparing for their parade appearance.

The girls, aided by their coaches, Jenny Tortilla and Sabrina Wilkinson, have been raising money for the late November trip, but, with each needing $2,500, they are eager for any as-sistance. Donations may be mailed to either girl at Uniontown High School, 601 S. Fifth St., Uniontown, KS 66779.

The 39th Kansas Shrine Bowl all-star football game is July 28 at Emporia State’s Welch Stadium.

Iola High’s Jerrik Sigg and Crest High’s Jayden Bowen were selected in January to the East squad. Teams are chosen by Kan-sas media.

Sigg, the first Iola High player to be selected for the East squad since 1989, has decided not to par-ticipate because of his commit-ment to summer baseball.

Kyler Thompson played in the 2010 Shrine Bowl as a replace-ment player picked by the East squad head coach. When players selected have to decline for what-ever reason, there are alternate player lists for each team.

“It was a very difficult decision for me. I’m on the Iola American Legion baseball team and we will be playing league and zone tour-naments the next two weeks,” Sigg said.

“I’m very honored to have been selected to play in the Shrine Bowl. I know what it means to play in it and what the game is all about.”

Sigg said he talked things over with his family about his decision not to play in the football game. Sigg, who is Iola High’s single-sea-son rushing leader and Southeast Kansas League scoring leader for 2011, has signed to play baseball at Allen Community College.

BOWEN WILL REPORT to

the East Squad training camp in Emporia Friday. Rossville’s Steve Buhler is the East head coach.

Bowen is a 6-2, 220-pound offen-sive lineman who played center for Crest. He also played lineback-er for the Lancers.

Bowen played in the Kansas-Nebraska Eight-Man All-Star game in June. He is going to Pitts-burg State this fall and is on the football team.

Tickets and additional infor-mation are available at www.kan-sasshrinebowl.com or by calling 800-530-5524. Kickoff is 7 p.m.

The West Squad training camp is in Salina with head coach Bri-an Hill of Garden City.

At both camps, Shrine units are active in providing food and volunteer services for the players and coaches.

For the first 37 years of its ex-istence, the Kansas Shrine Bowl sent hundreds of Kansas football players to St. Louis in order for the players to see first-hand the facilities at the St. Louis Shri-ners Hospital for Children, and to meet the young patients that have benefited from the game they are playing.

But travel challenges have made the one-day trip to St. Louis difficult, if not impossible, and have forced Shrine Bowl and hos-pital officials to find another way to acquaint the players and coach-es with the medical care offered by the hospital. The solution: if the teams can’t come to the hospi-tal, then bring the hospital to the

teams.That’s what will happen when a

busload of St. Louis hospital staff, patients, and equipment make the 343-mile journey to Emporia State University’s Memorial Union, where they’ll “set up shop” for one day to showcase hospital ac-tivities at Hospital Visitation Day on July 26.

“The trip to St. Louis has always been a highlight of the Shrine Bowl experience for players and coach-es,” said Shrine Bowl Executive Director Emeritus Dave Mize. “We don’t want to lose that connection, and bringing the hospital to Kansas is the next best thing to going. We tried it last year in Salina, and it worked well, so we’re excited about doing it again.”

Some 15 to 20 young patients and their families will make the trip via a chartered bus. Many of the patients, called patient am-bassadors, will have an opportu-nity to show those attending what happens at various departments at the hospital.

Shriners Hospital patients who live in Kansas have also been in-vited to attend, and even help with the presentation

Another positive about bring-ing the hospital to Kansas is the increased number of people who will experience what the hospital does. The additional people will include the All-State Masonic Band, usually some 200 strong, plus students involved in cross country, cheerleading and dance camps at ESU that week.

Iola High’s Jerrik Sigg, left, and Crest High’s Jayden Bowen were selected to the 2012 Kansas Shrine Bowl’s East Squad. Sigg will not play in the July 28 all-star football game at Emporia but Bowen will be continuing a five-year tradition of playing in the all-star charity game for the Lancer program.

Locals earn medalsin events at 2012Sunflower Games

By JOCELYN SHEETSjocelyn@iolaregister.com

TOPEKA — Seven individuals from Iola and area towns claimed medals in events during the first weekend of the 2012 Kansas Sun-flower State Games. The Games feature events for all ages for three weekends in July.

Iola’s Larry Wilson captured the gold medal in the pole vault for men ages 45-49. He cleared 11 feet while his son Mi-chael, a junior at Iola H i g h , took the bronze m e d a l in the 15-16-year boys’ pole vault with a height of 12 feet.

Three wrestlers from Iola competed in the folk-style tournament Saturday at To-peka’s Seaman High School. All earned silver medals.

Stephen McDonald, a senior at Iola High, went 3-1 to take the silver medal in the 205-226 pound class in wrestling. McDonald pinned Brent Woodward of Sea-man High in 1 minute, 48 seconds, beat Anthony Fitchett of Blue Valley Southwest 4-0 and pinned Tavon Alleyne of Blue Valley Southwest in 5:26.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — One week ago, Kauffman Stadium was filled with boos intended to sup-port the Royals’ hometown guy. On Monday night, the hometown guy was the recipient.

Jonathan Sanchez allowed the first five Seattle batters he faced to score and gave up seven runs before getting yanked in the sec-ond inning. The Mariners took advantage of the rare offensive outburst and cruised to a 9-4 vic-tory over Kansas City in their se-ries opener.

“I just got hit around,” said Sanchez, who has become the big-gest target for vitriolic fans who see a season that began with such promise quickly slipping away.

They voiced their displea-sure as Sanchez trudged off the mound. The wave of boos that they cast forth from the stands

was eerily similar to the sounds directed at Yankees slugger Rob-inson Cano during last Monday night’s Home Run Derby, when Kansas City fans were filled with angst over his decision not to se-lect a Royals player for his Ameri-can League lineup.

The fans booed that night in support of Billy Butler, their All-Star designated hitter.

There wasn’t much support from anybody for Sanchez on this night.

“It’s one of those games where they were on him, put seven runs up early and there’s not much we could do,” Royals manager Ned Yost said.

Salvador Perez and Butler hit home runs for Kansas City in the third inning. Yuniesky Betan-court had his 200th career double in the second inning.

LONDON (AP) — The opening cer-emony is still 11 days away, but for athletes and Londoners, the Olympics started Monday.

Thousands of competitors de-scended upon the Athletes Village and training camps, Heathrow Airport ex-perienced its busiest day ever, London drivers grappled with the city’s first “Games Lane” for Olympic vehicles and preparations shifted into the highest gear.

Smart-looking sailors guarded the gates to Olympic Park, looking so cheer-ful that visitors would never guess they had been pulled off leave only a few days ago to fill a security gap when contrac-tor G4S admitted it couldn’t provide enough guards. As well as 3,500 extra troops, the Olympic security coordi-nator has dispatched police officers to venues left open when G4S contractors failed to show up for work.

As the Olympic flame made its way to the seaside city of Brighton, organizers

revealed dramatic plans for its arrival in London at the end of the week. Some-one knows how to make an entrance: a Royal Marine will abseil the flame from a helicopter into the Tower of London, fusing the flame into the very walls of the London landmark.

The day’s excitement all started at Heathrow.

Beneath giant Olympic rings, Amer-icans, Australians, Italians — athletes from 50 nations — touched down in what is being described as Britain’s biggest peacetime transport challenge (the 1940 evacuation from Dunkirk clearly being excluded from the calcu-lation.) But it had a feeling of Olym-pian enormousness — the airport will handle some 236,955 passengers on Monday, breaking the previous record of 233,562 set on July 31, 2011.

“We’ve got into our battle rhythm,” said a cheerful Nick Cole, the head of planning for the games at Heathrow before the arrivals began. A former

army officer, he has been prepar-ing for this operation for years and brought in reinforcements to make sure all went smoothly. Heathrow put half of its 1,000 volunteers on duty Monday and created special teams to deal with oversize items like javelins, bikes and sails.

A black T-shirted choir outside Heathrow’s Terminal 5 belted out Adele’s smash hit “Rolling in the Deep,” but many were in too much of a hurry to listen.

For once, incoming passengers didn’t shuffle around in seemingly endless immigration queues waiting to enter Britain. Hundreds of immi-gration agents were on the job to ease the long lines that have plagued the airport for months. Police and sniff dogs were out in force. Rows of Olym-pic VIP buses then whisked teams and coaches to the Athletes Village in east London.

Mariners rough up Royals

Everywhere, anywhere, ex-cited future Olympians were ready for their moment in the London, um, rain. (Even locals have given up hopes that the sun will shine.)

French teen Elisa Li-yanage, 14, made a special trip to Heathrow just to hunt for Olympians’ autographs. The young track-and-field enthusiast, who was in England visiting a friend, bounced up and down with delight as she reeled off the number of sportsmen she’d gotten to sign her notebook, including American hurdler Jeff Porter and former So-mali middle distance runner Abdi Bile.

“It’s fantastic!” she squealed.

On the other side of the arrivals barrier, Jose Gar-cia Reyes, the mission chief of Guatemala’s Olympic team, was posing for photos with a big blue-and-white flag — to the obvious an-noyance of Heathrow staff, who kept trying to shoo him and his teammates out of the way.

“Uno mas, uno mas (One more, one more)!” the Gua-temalans protested as they snapped away.

Reyes said it was his sec-ond Olympics — he’d been to Beijing in 2008 — but said it was his first time as chief.

“Yes, I’m excited,” he said.

Others were less than impressed by their first im-pressions. Bus drivers tak-ing the Americans and the Australians struggled to find their destinations. At least one American athlete, two-time world 400-meter hurdles champion Kerron Clement, was less than complimentary.

“Um, so we’ve been lost on the road for 4hrs. Not a good first impression Lon-don,” he tweeted.

U.S. Olympic Commit-tee spokesman Patrick Sandusky said while there were a few glitches, every-one made it safely and just got on with preparing for the most important compe-

tition of their lives.Officials noted while a

few buses might have got-ten temporarily lost, hun-dreds of others managed to get from Heathrow to east London just fine. Lon-don Mayor Boris Johnson ruffled his blonde hair and urged everyone to chill out.

“Clearly they would have had even more of an oppor-tunity to see even more of the city than they might oth-erwise have done,” he said of buses that took a long route to the Olympic Park.

Transportation issues were supposed to have been eased by a “Games Lane” that opened Monday along the vital M4 highway into central London from Heath-row for Olympic VIPs.

More such highway lane closures are coming next week and London drivers have been warned about them for months. Still, many were clearly caught off guard by the Heathrow closure and cars backed up near the airport for miles.

London has four other airports, but the Olympic credentials desk is located at Heathrow, so most of the air traffic went there.

Heathrow usually han-dles 100,000 to 110,000 arriv-als a day, but this swelled to 121,239 on Monday, many of them Olympic VIPs. An-other big arrival day will be

July 25, two days before the opening ceremony.

While the athletes were arriving, Britain’s politi-

cians were fighting over a security fiasco that has seen soldiers pulled from leave to fill gaps in security.

Race drivers’ luck holds Friday the 13th HUMBOLDT — Friday

the 13th worked out well for drivers at Humboldt Speed-way.

With the B-Mods tak-ing center stage on Friday night, Scott Drake scored a wire-to-wire victory on the Speedway track to win the NCRA vs. USRA B-Mod Challenge. There were 38 cars in the field

Travis Johnson ran sec-ond in the main feature race with Jeremy Cham-bers finishing third. Jack Simmons placed fourth and Jimmie Davis took fifth. Earning the $100 Allen’s Automotive Hard Charger Award was Curt Drake.

Tyler Kidwell picked up his 13th win of the year in the pure stock division. But Kidwell got the win only af-ter Levi Phillips and Derek Michaels, who finished first and second respectively, had cars that did not pass the technical inspection fol-lowing the race.

Michael Aiello finished second after starting in the last row.

Jason Thurman ran the fastest in what was seen as the best race of the night. Thurman won the factory stock race that featured three-wide car racing on the track for multiple laps.

Pushing for the win with Thurman were Todd Kidwell, Clint Drake and David Matlock. When the checkered flag dropped, it was Thurman, Drake, Mat-lock, Kidwell and Jarred Johnson in that order for the top five spots.

Scott Daniels dominated the first 20 laps of the USRA modified feature race. On a

caution re-start, John Al-len was on Daniels’ bumper and the two drivers were side-by-side, switching the lead at the flag stand sev-eral times.

Another caution moved the race to a green-white-checkered finish. Daniels had a perfect trip the fi-nal two laps to win the race. Allen ended up sec-ond followed by Jess Folk Jr., Dalton Kirk and Cody Schniepp.

Associated PressWALTONVILLE, Ill.

(AP) — The nation’s wid-est drought in decades is spreading, with more than half of the continental United States now in some stage of drought and most of the rest enduring abnor-mally dry conditions.

Only in the 1930s and the 1950s has a drought cov-ered more land, according to federal figures released Monday. So far, there’s little risk of a Dust Bowl-type ca-tastrophe, but crop losses could mount if rain doesn’t come soon.

In its monthly drought report, the National Climat-ic Data Center in Asheville, N.C., announced that 55 percent of the country was in a moderate to extreme drought at the end of June. The parched conditions ex-panded last month in the West, the Great Plains and the Midwest, fueled by the 14th warmest and 10th dri-est June on record, the re-port said.

Topsoil has turned dry while “crops, pastures and rangeland have deterio-rated at a rate rarely seen in the last 18 years,” the re-port said.

The percentage of affect-ed land is the largest since December 1956, when 58 percent of the country was covered by drought, and it rivals even some years in the Dust Bowl era of the 1930s, though experts point out that this year’s weather has been milder than that period, and farming prac-

tices have been vastly im-proved since then.

In southern Illinois, Kenny Brummer has lost 800 acres of corn that he grows to feed his 400 head of cattle and 30,000 hogs. Now he’s scrambling to find hundreds of thousands of bushels of replacement feed.

“Where am I going to get that from? You have con-cerns about it every morn-ing when you wake up,” said Brummer, who farms near Waltonville. “The drought is bad, but that’s just half of the problem on this farm.”

Around a third of the na-tion’s corn crop has been hurt, with some of it so badly damaged that farm-ers have already cut down their withered plants to feed to cattle. As of Sunday, the U.S. Department of Ag-

riculture said, 38 percent of the corn crop was in poor or very poor condition, compared with 30 percent a week earlier.

“This is definitely the epicenter — right in the heart of the Midwest,” said climatologist Mark Svobo-da with the Nebraska-based National Drought Mitiga-tion Center.

It’s all a huge comedown for farmers who had ex-pected a record year when they sowed 96.4 million acres in corn, the most since 1937. The Department of Agriculture initially predicted national average corn yields of 166 bushels per acre this year.

The agency has revised that projection down to 146, and more reductions are possible if conditions don’t improve.

The lower projection

is still an improvement over the average yields of around 129 bushels a de-cade ago. But already tight supplies and fears that the drought will get worse be-fore it gets better have been pushing up grain prices, which are likely to trans-late into higher food prices for consumers, particularly for meat and poultry.

Monday’s report was based on data going back to 1895 called the Palmer Drought Index. It feeds into the widely watched and more detailed U.S. Drought Monitor, which reported last week that 61 percent of the continental U.S. was in a moderate to exceptional drought. However, the week-ly Drought Monitor goes back only 12 years, so cli-matologists use the Palmer Drought Index for compar-ing droughts before 2000.

Climatologists have la-beled this year’s dry spell a “flash drought” because it developed in a matter of months, not over multiple seasons or years.

The current drought is similar to the droughts of the 1950s, which weren’t as intense as those of the 1930s, said Jake Crouch, a climatologist with the Na-tional Climatic Data Center. And farming has changed a lot since the Dust Bowl era. Better soil conservation has reduced erosion, and modern hybrids are much more resistant to drought.

But Crouch said it’s im-portant to understand that this drought is still unfold-ing.

“We can’t say with cer-

tainty how long this might last now. Now that we’re going up against the two largest droughts in history, that’s something to be wary of,” Crouch said. “The com-ing months are really going to be the determining fac-tor of how big a drought it ends up being.”

In northwest Kansas, Bri-an Baalman’s cattle pastures have dried up, along with probably half of his corn crop. He desperately needs some rain to save the rest of it, and he’s worried what will happen if the drought lingers into next year.

“I have never seen this type of weather before like this. A lot of old timers haven’t either,” Baalman said. “I just think we are see-ing history in the making.”

The federal government is already moving to help farmers and ranchers.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack last week an-nounced plans for stream-lining the aid process. A major goal is to cut the time it takes to declare an agri-cultural disaster area. He also reduced interest rates for emergency loans and

made it cheaper for farm-ers to graze livestock or cut hay on lands otherwise locked up in a conservation program.

Some state governments are stepping in, too. In Wis-consin, Gov. Scott Walker declared a state of emer-gency in 42 counties last week to speed up the issu-ance of permits for tempo-rarily using stream or lake water for irrigation.

During a visit Monday to a southern Illinois corn and soybean farm, Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn announced that drought-affected farmers would be eligible for state debt restructuring and loan programs in addition to the aid the USDA announced last week.

Quinn ventured into a corn field where he spent some time looking for an actual ear of corn. When he found one and peeled off the husk, there were no ker-nels.

Two-thirds of Illinois is in what’s classified as a severe drought or worse. Neighboring Indiana is even worse, with 70 percent in at least a severe drought.

Drought conditions worsen across state, U.S.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A new govern-ment report is paint-ing a grim snapshot of the drought’s effects on farms across Kansas.

Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service report-ed Monday that more than half of the state’s corn crop is in poor to very poor condition.

Soybean and sorghum crops are faring only slightly better with more than 40 percent of both those Kansas crops also in poor to very poor con-

dition.The misery extends

beyond the field crops as livestock producers struggle with dried up pastures and shrinking hay and stock water sup-plies.

The agency estimates 78 percent of the range and pasture land in Kan-sas is in poor to very poor shape. Hay and for-age supplies are 57 per-cent short. Stock water is short to very short across 55 percent of Kan-sas.

Heat takes toll on crops We can’t say with certainty how long this might last now. Now that we’re going up against the two largest droughts in history, that’s some-thing to be wary of.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Hawker Beechcraft efforts to enter into exclusive talks with a Chinese firm for the $1.79 billion sale of its civil-ian aircraft operations ran into opposition Monday in bankruptcy court from its machinists union amid fears about the deal’s im-pact on national security as well as worker pensions.

A motion filed Monday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New York by the Inter-national Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers asked the judge to deny Hawker Beechcraft’s

request seeking up to 45 days to negotiate only with Superior Aviation Beijing Co., for the sale of the Kan-sas plane-maker.

The move comes on the eve of today’s bankruptcy court hearing to consider the request for an order authorizing the exclusive negotiations and a refund agreement.

Also Monday, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp., the government corporation which guarantees the pen-sion program, filed its own separate motion in which it did not object to the ex-

clusive negotiations with Superior but reserved the right to protect and object to any unsatisfactory treat-ment of the pension plans as the sale process unfolds.

“The proposed sale of Hawker Beechcraft to a Chi-nese government-backed entity has broad implica-tions for the U.S. economy and national security,” IAM International President Tom Buffenbarger said in a news release. “The sale should not be rushed through without adequate scrutiny by all interested parties, including federal

regulators, state officials and the Wichita commu-nity.”

The union said giving Su-perior the exclusive right at this time to negotiate the purchase of the company was premature.

Hawker Beechcraft is-sued a statement Monday noting any agreement with Superior would be subject to approval by the Commit-tee on Foreign Investment in the United States and other regulatory agencies, as well as a competitive auc-tion process overseen by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.

Good idea to call!

BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian government forces backed by helicopter gunships battled rebels in heavy clashes with rebels in Da-mascus, a clear escalation in the most serious fight-ing in the capital since the country’s conflict began last year, activists said.

The fierce clashes, which have raged over the past three days in at least four neighborhoods across the city, were the latest sign that Syria’s civil war is moving ever closer to the heart of Pres-ident Bashar Assad’s re-gime. Government forces have already thrown tanks and armored personnel carriers into the battle in the capital, but the use of airpower reflected the in-tensity and seriousness of the fighting.

The Britain-based Syr-ian Observatory for Hu-man Rights and Damas-cus-based activist Maath al-Shami said the clashes today were concentrated in Kfar Souseh, Nahr Ai-sha, Midan and Qadam.

“I can hear cracks of gunfire and some explo-sions from the direction of Midan,” al-Shami told The Associated Press via Skype. “Black smoke is billowing from the area.”

Syria’s state-run news agency said today that troops were still chasing “terrorist elements” who had fled from Nahr Aisha to Midan. Syria refers to its opponents as terror-ists.

An amateur video showed two armored personnel carriers with heavy machineguns on top along with troops who were said to be advancing in an empty road toward Midan today.

Activists have dubbed the fighting in the capital the “Damascus Volcano” in what appears to be an attempt to bring the fight-ing into Syria’s seat of power.

The clashes are the most sustained and wide-spread in the capital since the start of the uprising against Assad in March last year and a crackdown that activists say has claimed the lives of more than 17,000 people. In the past, clashes happened at night in the capital. Now, the fighting rages during the day.

Damascus — and Syria’s largest city, Aleppo — are both home to elites who have benefited from close ties to Assad’s regime, as well as merchant classes and minority groups who worry their status will suf-fer if Assad falls.

As the violence has spi-raled out of control, dip-lomatic efforts to halt the bloodshed have faltered, with world powers still deeply divided over who is responsible and how to stop the fighting. The U.S. and many Western na-tions have called on Assad to leave power, while Rus-sia, China and Iran have stood by the regime.

U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon was headed to China to-day as part of a diplomat-ic push to get Russia and China to back a tougher response to attacks by Assad’s regime. Ban’s trip comes ahead of a U.N. Se-curity Council vote this week. A Western-backed resolution calls for sanc-tions and invokes Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter.

A Chapter 7 resolution authorizes actions that can ultimately include the use of military force,

which U.S. administration and European officials — for now — are playing down as a possibility.

Ban was to hold talks with Chinese President Hu Jintao on Wednesday, with Syria expected to top the agenda.

U.N. special envoy Kofi Annan, meanwhile, was to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow to discuss the conflict.

In Tehran, Iranian For-eign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast warned against foreign intervention in Syria. Iran, one of Syria’s stron-gest allies, offered to me-diate and host a meeting between Syrian govern-ment and rebels to help resolve the conflict.

“Iran is prepared to use all its capacities to re-solve the crisis in Syria,” Mehmanparast told re-porters today.

The Syrian opposition is unlikely to accept Iran, which has provided Assad with military and politi-cal backing for years, as a mediator.

The Observatory and al-Shami said helicopters fired heavy machine guns during overnight clashes in the neighborhoods of Qadam and Hajar al-As-wad.

Another activist in the capital, who asked to be identified only as Bayan because of fear for his safety, said troops fired mortar rounds at the neighborhoods of Qa-boun and Jobar, causing a major fire near Jobar’s Grand Mosque.

“People are trying to ex-tinguish the fire with wa-ter hoses or buckets filled with water,” Bayan said via Skype. She added that government troops had set up checkpoints around Damascus in response to the violence, and were searching cars and asking for passengers’ identity cards.

Al-Shami said residents of hard-hit areas were flee-ing to safer neighborhoods where they were staying at schools and mosques. He added that many of the wounded were being treated at secret hospitals for fear they might be de-tained if taken to official ones in Damascus.

The Local Coordina-tion Committees activ-ist group reported heavy shelling of rebel-held areas in the central prov-ince of Homs where they said there were casualties.

As the violence has es-calated, the number of Syrians fleeing the blood-shed has swelled to some 112,000, the United Na-tions said today. The U.N. refugee agency said wom-en and children make up three-quarters of those whom it has assisted or registered in Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey.

Late Monday, Turkey said it will build a new ref-ugee camp for Syrian ref-ugees that could accom-modate 10,000 people. The state-run Anadolu agency said 525 people crossed the border into Turkey late Monday, including a general and four colonels.

Turkey’s government-run crisis management center said a new camp is being set up near the town of Karkamis, in Gazian-tep province which bor-ders Syria. Nearly 40,000 refugees are currently be-ing sheltered in 10 camps near Turkey’s 566-mile border with Syria.

Iran offers to mediate civil war in Syria

GENEVA (AP) — The United Nations says the number of Syrian refu-gees who have sought help from it since April has almost tripled to 112,000.

The U.N. refugee agency says women and children make up three-quarters of the Syrians who it has registered or assisted in Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey.

Agency spokesman Adrian Edwards says today in Geneva that the actual number is probably “significantly higher” and that many Syrian refugees are com-pletely dependent on hu-manitarian aid.

Edwards says at least 40,000 Syrians have sought refuge in Turkey. Jordan has seen 33,400 refugees, while 30,900 have arrived in Leba-non. Another 7,900 have sought sanctuary in Iraq.

Syrian refugee crisis grows

ISLAMABAD (AP) — The head of the World Health Organization’s polio eradication pro-gram in Pakistan says one of its doctors and a driver were wounded when their vehicle came under fire in the port city of Karachi.

Dr. Elias Durry says the doctor is an interna-tional volunteer helping supervise the polio erad-ication program. He says the doctor was wounded today in the abdomen and is undergoing sur-gery.

Pakistan is in the sec-ond day of a three-day campaign to vaccinate children under five. Taliban militants in northern Pakistan have banned the vaccination, saying it can’t go forward until the U.S. stops drone strikes in Pakistan.

Durry says it was not known whether the doc-tor was targeted or was accidentally caught in the crossfire.

He says WHO remains committed to polio eradi-cation in Pakistan.

Dear Tom and Ray: My husband and I recent-

ly purchased a hacienda in Tucson, Ariz., where we just arrived for the sum-mer and will be spending all our future summers. At present, my beloved 1986 Buick Skylark, painted in John Deere green, is sitting in a fully exposed driveway with only the shade of a small cactus to protect it from the blazing sun. My German mother, whose advice I always follow, has suggested that we purchase a small gazebo to shade my Buick. My British husband, who has only just arrived in the states this January, has wondered whether a better course of action would be

to get a “reflective cover thingy” (his words). His frugality here may be the result of the fact that the Buick broke down on the way to our wedding, and he thinks it is on its last legs. Bottom line: gazebo, “reflective cover thingy” or status quo? — Elizabeth

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.

It’s best to shield cars from sunCarTalkTomand RayMagliozzi

miffed about the Treaty of Versailles?

RAY: Sun is hard on the car’s paint, and on its in-terior — which can crack from the heat and the sun. If both exterior and in-terior are in good shape (which, frankly, I doubt, given that it’s a 1986 Buick), then the best thing would be to put up some sort of sun-covering structure. That’s probably what your mom means by a “gazebo.” And a permanent structure is best.

TOM: But you can start with a temporary canopy. It can be as simple as four well-secured poles with a large tarp stretched be-tween them. Or you can buy a temporary carport built just for that purpose. A lot of places sell tentlike structures specifically de-signed to protect a car from sun and rain — either just on top, or on the sides, too.

RAY: My second choice would be two window shades — one for the front windshield, and one for the rear. That will at least protect the interior and dashboard from some of the direct sun. Even better,

combine those with tinted windows.

TOM: I’m not a big fan of car covers (or “reflective cover thingies”) for cars that you drive every day, only because they’re a mild pain in the butt to take on and off. And chances are, af-ter a while, you’ll just stop using it.

RAY: A permanent car-port definitely is the best solution, Elizabeth. But I’d actually recommend that you start with something temporary. Why? Because Tucson’s a beautiful place, but after you spend a fur-nacelike summer there, you might change your mind about the “and all future summers” part. So you may not want to spend the mon-ey on a full-scale construc-tion project until you’re sure you’re going to return year after year, rather than flee and spend your sum-mers in Juneau, Alaska.

TOM: But if you do go for the temporary carport, be sure to write your name and address on it, so when it blows away in one of Tuc-son’s summer monsoons, your neighbors can return it. Good luck, you guys.
