Memorial Day program at Fort Scott

FORT SCOTT — Memo-rial Day is a time to reflect upon soldiers who gave their lives for their country. There is perhaps no better place to do that than at a military fort where soldiers served. This Memorial Day Weekend, everyone is invited to visit Fort Scott National Historic Site and learn more about cru-cial events of the mid-1800s that helped shape our national character.

On Saturday, May 29, Fort Scott will come to life with the sights of a soldier on horseback and laundresses scrubbing clothes, the smell of bread being baked, and the sounds of gunfire. The post surgeon will be on site admin-istering medicine, the sutler will be hawking his wares, and a prisoner will be locked Harold Campbell

With tables laden with photographs, newspaper clippings and other mementoes, Saturday afternoon’s ceremony officially handing over the Kansas Army National Guard armory building to the city of Cha-nute was a time to share memories and look to the future.

“It’s a sign of the times,” said Ron Olson, an Erie farmer who served with the Kansas Army National Guard from 1955 to 1963. “Things change.”

The armory became city property as of Feb. 28 after the Kansas Army National Guard in January announced it would shut down 18 armories statewide, including the Chanute building. The closures dropped the number of armories in Kansas from 56 to 38.

Olson said when he joined the Guard, the Chanute armory was in a building across from Royster Stadium. He said he also remembered the ceremony in 1955 opening the new armory on South Santa Fe which featured a dedication by then-Gov. George Docking.

Olson served in peacetime and was never deployed overseas, but he recalled Guard units were being called up in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

“There was some anxiety then,” he said.Staff Sgt. Melvin Eubanks, 891st Engi-

Most of the first-graders who have taken part in a reading-skills interven-tion effort at Chanute Elementary School continue to read at or above grade level, according to CES teachers who super-vise the program.

USD 413 implemented the program, Reading Recovery, seven years ago as a way to help first-grade students who experience difficulty in their first year of reading instruction.

“We want to catch them early enough before a problem becomes a habit,” said Jane Richardson, one of the three CES

Reading Recovery teachers.Reading Recovery was developed in

New Zealand in the mid-1970s in an effort to reverse the cycle of failure for students in a relatively short period of time. Since then, the program has expanded to the United States, Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom.

Today, Reading Recovery is used in 12 percent of elementary schools in the U.S. and serves nearly 2 million students annually. There are 22 univer-sities -- including Emporia State Uni-versity -- training Reading Recovery teachers, while nearly 10,000 teachers are involved in Reading Recovery.

Each Reading Recovery teacher

receives a year of training and then par-ticipates in ongoing professional devel-opment sessions and classroom observa-tion.

Richardson, along with the other two Reading Recovery teachers, Julie Shaw and Karen Vallier, said statistics indicate that if students are not reading at grade level by third grade, they probably never will.

To date, about 260 USD 413 students have participated in the Reading Recov-ery program.

Data collected on 134 students from fall 2005 through spring 2010 show that 70 percent reach reading skills at or above grade level through Reading

Recovery. About 13 percent remained six months or less below grade level, 0.6 percent were one year behind, 16 percent were placed in special education and 0.4 percent were retained.

In addition, more than 50 percent of the special education students in Read-ing Recovery met or exceeded Kansas State Assessment standards.

Vallier said students are referred to Reading Recovery based on test scores and consultations with classroom teach-ers.

Students in Reading Recovery then spend 30 minutes each day for 12 to 20

The Kansas and Neosho County unemployment rates both fell by more than half of a percent in April.

According to the Kansas Department of Labor, the state’s jobless rate was at 6.3 percent in April, down from 6.9 percent in March and unchanged from April 2009.

Neosho County’s unemploy-ment rate was at 8.3 percent in April, down from 8.7 percent in March and 8.6 percent in April of last year.

In Labette County, the unem-ployment rate fell from 9.4 per-cent in March to 8.7 percent in April. The rate was 8.2 percent in April of last year.

According to April estimates, Kansas businesses lost 23,400 jobs over the year, a 1.7 per-cent decrease. While this is a decrease, the level of over-the-year job losses has decreased over the past four months.

Kansas business gained 15,900 jobs over the month in April, a 1.2 percent increase. This increase is more than the typical March-to-April job growth, which averages about 10,000 jobs.

Three of the 11 major indus-tries in Kansas reported over-the-year job gains in April, with the highest increase in construc-tion. It was the first month the construction industry reported over-the-year job gains since June 2008.

Most major industries report-ed statewide over-the-year loss-es. The losses were highest in manufacturing, professional

Vera L. Gerken Hays, 90, Carl Junction Mo., died Sunday May 23, 2010 at Freeman Hos-pital after a short illness.

She was born Sept. 4, 1919 in Enid, Okla., one of 10 children of Theodore and Clara Brede-hoft Hollrah, including her twin brother, Paul. Her parents and two sisters died when she was young and an older sister kept the family together through this time of dust bowl and depres-sion.

She graduated from Pioneer High School and attended Okla-homa A&M at Stillwater, Okla. Vera taught in rural schools around Enid and then met Lewis Gerken who was stationed at U.S. Army Air Corps Flying School Enid (now Vance Air Force Base). They were mar-ried on Jan. 31, 1943 at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Enid, and lived there until after the war. In 1945, they moved to Humboldt, and then to Chanute in 1956.

Although she was primarily a homemaker, she also did sub-stitute teaching and was one of the original Head Start teachers when that program was first started. Lewis preceded her in death in 1975. In 1984, Vera married C.F. “Jerry” Hays (an old college beau) and returned to Enid. Jerry also preceded her in death in 1997. In 2004, Vera moved to Carl Junction, Mo., to be close to her daughter, Denise, and son, Tom.

A member of Immanuel

Lutheran Church in Joplin, she was always active in the Luther-an church, serving in many capacities over her lifetime.

Wherever she went Vera made deep and abiding friendships. Her children admired her, her family, and her generation for courage, faith loyalty and val-ues, holding stories warmly in their hearts, some with laughter and some with tears.

Survivors include three sons, Barry Gerken and wife, Anne, Bolton, Mass., Thomas Gerken, Joplin, Timothy Gerken and wife, Kathy, Columbia, Mo., and daughter Denise Geier and husband, Chris, Carl Junction, four grandchildren, Heather Gerken, Stefanie Lawson, Tammy Adkins, and Brandon Gerken; five great-grandchil-dren; two brothers, Carl Hol-lrah, Cerritos, Calif., and Vic-tor Hollrah and wife, Dorothy, Montrose, Colo.; and a sister-in-law, Armilda Hollrah, Austin, Texas. Cremation arrangements are under the direction of Parker Mortuary, Joplin.

Memorial service will be held Saturday, May 29 at 10 a.m. at Immanuel Lutheran Church, after which the family will receive friends. Graveside services will follow at 2 p.m. at Mount Hope Cemetery in Humboldt.

Memorial contributions may be made to Immanuel Lutheran Church, 2616 Connecticut Ave., Joplin, MO 64804.

Great American Group, Inc., Woodlands, Calif., a leading provider of asset disposition, valuation and appraisal services, has announced that it was the successful bidder on the Movie Gallery Inc. deal for $74.2 mil-lion for all the store inven-tory, fixtures, lease designation rights and 53 owned properties. Great American Group will be conducting the going-out-of-business sale.

“Movie Gallery is one of the largest transactions we have seen in the retail disposi-tion space during the past six months. This assignment is a demonstration of Great Ameri-can Group’s strong market posi-tion and represents a significant accomplishment for our team,”

said Andrew Gumaer, Chief Executive Officer of Great American Group.

Movie Gallery is the second largest movie rental chain and operates stores under the Holly-wood Video, Movie Gallery and Game Crazy names. Faced with increased competitive pressure from movies by mail, vending machines and high speed inter-net connections, the company will close over 1,000 stores nationwide. Great American Group and Movie Gallery have worked together in prior years strategically closing stores in an effort to revive the business, but lack of time and finances have brought on the shuttering of the remaining stores.

Scott Carpenter, executive

vice president of Great Ameri-can Group stated, “We are very excited about being selected to handle this project for the Movie Gallery estate. In the next 8-10 weeks we will wind down these stores while selling millions of games and DVD’s that the chain rented or stocked for sale. While this is a dif-ficult time for the employees of Movie Gallery, this event will provide incredible buying opportunities for the consumer, as well as operators looking to purchase these locations.”

The going-out-of-business sale started Friday where con-sumers can save up to 30 per-cent off everything in the stores. The sale is expected to last eight to 10 weeks.

Eight of the 11 major industries in Kansas reported over-the-month job gains in April.

Construction gained 6,100 jobs over the month, an 11.2 percent increase. This is a higher than typi-cal month-to-month increase; the average increase is 2,700 jobs.

Professional and business services gained 4,200 jobs over the month, a 3.2 percent increase. The majority of job gains in the area were in administrative and sup-port services. This is also a higher than typical month-to-month increase; the average increase is 1,300 jobs. This is an important indicator to watch because it includes temporary help, which typically increases as economies move out of recession.

Leisure and hospitality gained 3,800 jobs over the month, a 3.5 percent increase. The majority of job gains in the area were in food services and drinking places.

There were 18,779 initial claims (regular, extended benefit) and emergency unemployment compensation for unemployment benefits in April, down from 20,981 initial claims in March 2010 and down from 30,097 in April 2009. There were 271,270 continued claims (regular, EB and EUC) in April, down from 372,977 in March 2010 and up from 223,199 in April 2009.

The unemployment rate in surrounding counties also fell.

In Cherokee County, the unemployment rate was 7.9 percent, down from 8.7 percent in March and 8.8 percent in April 2009.

The unemployment rate in Crawford County fell to 7.4 percent last month, down from 7.7 percent in March and 7.9 percent in April 2009.

Montgomery County saw its jobless rate fall to 9.3 percent last month, down from 9.9 percent in March and unchanged from April 2009.

Pittsburg police investigate first 2010 homicide

PITTSBURG (AP) — Pittsburg officials say a man who was first thought to have died of natural causes was shot to death.

Police say they found a man dead inside a home in southwest Pittsburg Friday after-noon and investigated it as an unattended death. The Pittsburg Morning Sun reports that on Saturday, an autopsy found a gun-shot wound on the man’s body and the death was ruled a homicide. It is the first homicide of the year.

Five people — three women and two men — were arrested Sunday in Pittsburg and Cherokee County and booked on first-degree murder, con-spiracy to commit robbery and aggravated robbery charges.

Pittsburg police Maj. Henry Krantz says the victim has not been positively identified.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Alfalfa sprouts recalled because of salmonella poison-ing were sold to more than 400 Wal-Mart stores in 15 states, a spokeswoman for the retail chain said Monday.

The raw sprouts sold by Caldwell Fresh Foods were sold to Wal-Marts in Alabama, California, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mis-souri, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, Oregon and Wiscon-sin, the company said.

The federal Centers for Dis-ease Control said last week the alfalfa sprouts appear to have sickened at least 22 people in 10 states, including a baby in Oregon. Eleven of those sick-ened were in California.

The sprouts were sold in at least seven other stores in California, including Trader Joe’s. Caldwell, based in May-wood, Calif., said in a release that the sprouts were sold at restaurants, delicatessens and retailers nationwide but the company has not released a complete list of the outlets that purchased the sprouts.

Caldwell Fresh Foods did not respond to requests for comment and no one answered the phone at the company’s headquarters on Monday.

According to the Oregon Department of Human Ser-vices, which was first to announce the outbreak last week, Caldwell’s alfalfa prod-uct was sold in 18 states in the West, Midwest and South.

In addition to those who were sickened in California, two were sickened in Nevada and two in Wisconsin. Ari-zona, Oregon, Idaho, Illinois, Missouri, New Mexico and Colorado each had one per-son become ill, the CDC said. The illnesses began between March 1 and May 2 and six people were hospitalized.

Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in those with weakened immune systems. It can cause diarrhea, fever and vomiting.

Wal-Mart spokeswoman Caren Epstein said sprouts were removed from the pro-duce departments of the affected stores as soon as the retail chain was made aware of the recall.

Caldwell said the recalled alfalfa sprouts were sold in plastic cups and plastic bags under the Caldwell Fresh Foods brand, plastic cups under the Nature’s Choice brand and plastic containers under the California Fresh Exotics brand.

William E. Keene, a senior epidemiologist at the Oregon health department, said the baby sickened was a 4-month-old boy who ate alfalfa sprouts mixed with other foods. His sickness made the cause of the outbreak easier to identify, Keene said, because the infant had not yet eaten many foods. He was hospitalized but later recovered.

This is the second large mul-tistate outbreak in fresh pro-duce announced this month. Twenty-six people were sick-ened by an outbreak of E. coli in romaine lettuce in Michi-gan, New York, Ohio, Tennes-see and Pennsylvania. Seven additional cases are suspected, the CDC said.

EPA cites lots in three states for violations KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — The Environmental Protection

Agency has cited six beef feedlot operations in Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska for violating the federal Clean Water Act.

Jewell County Feeders of Mankato, Kan., was fined $10,800, and Platte Valley Feeders of Kearney, Neb., was fined $20,000 for not complying with federal discharge laws aimed at protecting area waterways.

The EPA also ordered four other feedlots to end unauthorized release of pollutants. Those feedlots are identified as Sandhill Farm, Inc., of Rock Valley Iowa; Kooima Custom Feed, of Rock Valley, Iowa; Albert Rens, Ireton, Iowa; Darwin Rus, also of Rock Valley, Iowa. The EPA said in a release Monday that runoff from concentrated animal feeding operations carries several pollutants, including heavy metals, hormones and antibiotics.

Police identify child who drowned in Shawnee SHAWNEE (AP) — Police have identified a 1-year-old girl who

drowned after she was rescued from a pond in the Kansas City suburb of Shawnee.

Police identified the girl as Anighya Payne of St. Peters, Mo. Police said family members were in Shawnee to attend a wedding. The Kansas City Star reported Monday that the child fell in the pond Saturday. She was found floating face down in the water. Paramedics tried to revive her as she was rushed to a hospital, but she was pronounced dead.

Testimony: Doctor operated ‘patient mill’ WICHITA (AP) — The government’s medical expert has testi-

fied that a Kansas doctor linked to 68 overdose deaths operated a “patient mill” where the volume of people made it impossible to provide quality medical care.

Dr. Stephen Schneider and his wife, Linda, are charged with unlawfully prescribing controlled substances linked to overdose deaths, fraud and money laundering.

Prosecutors say the clinic had more than 10,000 patients, includ-ing 5,100 chronic pain patients.

Dr. Doug Jorgensen testified Monday that the number of patients was beyond excessive. The Massachusetts pain management specialist told jurors that prescription refills were given even to patients whose tests showed they were not taking their pills.

2 die in 5-vehicle accident in northeast KansasLINDWOOD (AP) — Two women have died in a five-vehicle

pileup near the northeast Kansas town of Lindwood.The Kansas Highway Patrol identified the victims as 66-year-

old Barbara S. Helton and 45-year-old Patricia S. Helton, both of Nortonville.

The accident started Saturday when a man driving a Chevrolet truck on a north-south street in Leavenworth County failed to stop at a stop sign. The truck hit a GMC truck that was eastbound on Kansas 32. The Chevy truck then continued south through the intersection, striking a sport utility vehicle, a motorcycle and a car. The women who were killed were passengers in the Chevrolet truck. They weren’t wearing seatbelts and were ejected.

The patrol said several other people also suffered injuries.

Team ends another search for missing womanNEMAHA (AP) — A search and recovery team has ended

another effort to find more clues in the disappearance of a missing Horton woman.

Fifty-eight-year-old Patricia Kimmi has been missing for more than six month.

The St. Joseph News Press reported that the Kimmi fam-ily asked the Texas EquuSe-arch team to come to Atchison County to help law enforcement officials.

The team searched Friday and Saturday on the property of the brother of a man named as a person of interest in Kimmi’s disappearance.

Atchison County officials say the team found evidence similar to what was found on the prop-erty earlier this month.

Human remains were discov-ered earlier in the month, but they not been positively been identified as Kimmi’s.

2 NE Kansas districtsto consider merging

WATHENA (AP) — Two school districts in the far north-eastern corner of Kansas are considering merging.

The St. Joseph News Press reported that residents of the Wathena and Elwood school districts will be asked to vote June 8 to consolidate.

The move is part of an effort to save money.

Combined, the two districts have lost a little more than $600,000 in state funding in the last school year.

TOPEKA (AP) — Kansas Libertarians are frustrated, and they say they aren’t alone.

As one of the minor parties in the state, Libertarians have long struggled to gain members and influence Kansas politics. But the party chairman tells the Topeka Capital-Journal that the tide may be turning.

Andrew Gray says the party has seen reg-istrations rise in recent years as more voters become frustrated that the Republican and Democratic parties have blurred the ideo-logical lines that used to separate them.

“People are beginning to understand there is no longer a red or blue but a horri-ble shade of purple,” said Gray, of Topeka. “One can no longer differentiate between the two parties.”

Gray said more Kansans are identifying themselves either as Libertarian or unaffili-ated voters heading into the 2010 election.

Registration statewide among Libertar-

ians is up since August 2008, from 9,152 to 9,777 as of May. In Shawnee County, where Gray is based, the numbers have risen from 523 to 599.

Still, one political observer sees Libertar-ians and other minor parties as outsiders looking in on the process in Kansas.

Mark Peterson, associate professor of political science at Washburn University, describes Libertarians as an “oddity of Kansas politics.”

“There’s not a lot of them,” he said.Those not signing on with a party register

as unaffiliated and that sector has increased by more than 7 percent, from 451,631 to 484,995. Peterson suspected most of those voters were aged 18 to 24 years old.

“I really don’t understand why anyone would register unaffiliated — especially in a state like Kansas, where the primary elections are where the action is,” he said. “If you don’t vote in the primary, you get

whatever the parties decide they’re going to put on offer in the general election.”

Democrats have added to their ranks since 2008, increasing from 449,058 to 463,225 registered voters. Republicans are still the dominant party, though the num-bers have fallen from 741,786 to 738,750.

The new Kansas smoking ban, which takes effect July 1, has stirred interest among Libertarians, including an unsuc-cessful petition drive to overturn the Tope-ka city smoking ban. The party in general believes in less government intervention in individual lives and protection of liberties.

Gray said the party is trying to show potential members that change starts at the local level. No Libertarians serve in statewide office or in the Kansas Legis-lature, the latter of which is controlled by Republicans.

Kansas Libertarian Party seeing ‘purple’

Recalled sprouts sold to Wal-Marts in 15 states

MARQUETTE (AP) — Six years ago, Marquette offered free land to any homeowner willing to relocate to the central Kansas town. It worked well enough that the town is making the same offer, only this time to small businesses.

Thirty homes were built and the McPherson County town’s population grew in the six years since it offered buildings sites for newcomers.

Now, the descendants of a family that helped found the town have donated a 20-acre plot of land that Marquette is offering to small businesses to expand and create jobs.

“We’d love to bring in a huge plant,” said Steve Piper, Mar-quette Development Company president and former mayor. “But we have to be realistic in trying to attract some small industries that have potential for growing, like a business or manufacturing project that started in someone’s garage and

needs a little boost, one that can’t compete with Wichita; something that will work for our situation.”

“It’s a positive thing and we’re pretty fortunate, at least we have the potential,” said Kris Hudson, Economic Market Development chairwoman.

Hudson leads the housing effort, which had 30 homes built in its first phase. Now in its second phase, the town has 10 more houses built and 40 lots still available.

That success brought new people with fresh ideas to town, said Mayor Allan Lindfors.

Recent major improvements include a second access bridge south of town and a renovat-ed swimming pool. The town also features three art galleries, the Kansas Motorcycle Muse-um and an old-time drugstore, Lindfors said.

“The welcome sign is out,” he said. “Marquette is on the move.”

Comets medal at state golf tourney

Tribune staff

HESSTON—Chanute High School golfers Mitchell Hale and Cameron Wil-tse finished the season with the state’s best at the Class 4A State Golf Tourna-ment on Monday at Hesston Golf Park.

And both Blue Comets brought home a medal.

“It was a pretty good day,” Chanute Coach Bill Woodard said. “I’m not sure I’ve ever had two players finish in the top 10 in the same year at state. If it happened, it hasn’t been done much. It’s a great accomplishment for both guys. They kept their composure and played well all day long.”

A junior, Hale took eighth place at the state tourney. Hale shot a 79. He shot a 38 on the front nine and a 41 on the back nine. Three golfers finished with scores of 79 and had a playoff for sixth, seventh and eighth. Woodard said Hale missed a key putt and settled for eighth.

“I’m pretty pleased with how he did,”

Woodard said. “It was a tough day to play, the wind was blowing hard. The course was set up in a reasonably tough fashion, too. The pins were set pretty tight. Mitchell made some big putts early on. The back nine was a lot tough-er for everyone. But I thought Mitch played well overall. He hit the ball well and kept himself out of trouble for the most part. Unfortunately, he didn’t putt well on the playoff hole.”

A sophomore, Wiltse won a playoff hole and took 10th with his score of 82.

Wiltse shot a 40 on the front nine and then shot a 42 on the back nine.

“He hit the ball solidly all day long,” Woodard said. “He doesn’t hit it as far as some of the other guys, but he was solid all day. He had a couple of bad breaks on the back nine, a few bogies in a row. But he did a great job on the playoff hole. He

didn’t make a mistake while the others took some risks.”

The state appearance was Hale’s third-straight and Wiltse’s second-straight.

Last year Hale tied for 11th place in 4A. As a freshman, Hale was 17th.

This year Hale was the SEK indi-vidual champion and took third place at the Augusta Regional.

Wiltse finished fifth in the SEK and ninth at the regional this year.

Wiltse was five strokes away from a medal last year at state.

Both will be back to lead the way for the Comets next year, as well.

Notes: St. James Academy won the 4A team title, Topeka Hayden was sec-ond and Wellington was third. Full team results and the list of medalists was not yet available. Look more tomorrow.

ENDS FOR CHS

BASEBALL TEAM

Tribune staff

The season ended for the Chanute High School base-ball team last Friday in the semifinals of the Girard Class 4A Sub-State tournament.

Independence defeated Chanute 5-4, thus ending the season for the Blue Comets.

The Bulldogs were the sec-ond seed and the Comets were the sixth seed.

The game was tied when the Bulldogs won it in the bottom of the seventh inning.

Indy scored four runs in the first inning on four hits, a walk and an error.

The Comets got one run back in the second.

Hale takes eighth place, Wiltse finishes 10th

Winged warriors highlight action at Humboldt SpeedwayScott Lee StewartFor the Tribune

HUMBOLDT— For the first time in more than 20 years, winged outlaw Sprint Cars cir-cled the high banks of Hum-boldt Speedway.

The OCRS Sprints made the first of two scheduled appear-ances this year on Friday at The Hummer. Before a packed house, Moore, Okla. driver Whit Gastineau showed the fans what Sprint racing is all about by blasting through the field on the high side to win the 20-car A feature. Jamir Passmore of Rose, Okla. was the runner up, followed by Danny Smith of Sapulpa, Okla., Rafe Essary of, Farmington, Okla., and Tim Kent of Bristow, Okla.

Even the novelty of the winged warriors couldn’t eclipse the intensity of the Modified A Fea-ture. The story begins with John Allen and Ryan Whitworth on the front row. Whitey Folk starts in fifth. At the green, Allen takes

off like a shot, while the rest of the field goes head to head, two and three wide. Suddenly, Folk shoots out of the pack into sec-ond. Allen and Folk, along with Brian Bolin, quickly distance themselves. Then Folk takes the

lead with a low side slingshot pass. Undaunted, Allen stays right on his tail. Into lapped traffic, running out of laps, Allen pulls off a spectacular pass for the lead, only to watch Folk make an equally spectacu-

lar pass to take it back. Driving flat out, Folk takes the win by not quite a car length over Allen. Bolin was third. Whit-worth finished fourth, Travis Smith finished fifth.

In B-Mods, Jay Lamons, Jr. had his car set up perfectly, and turned in a flawless per-formance for the victory. Being his third feature win, Lamons was the object of a mandatory engine tear down, the results of which were not available at press time. Levi McGowen mounted a valiant charge to finish second, edging out third place Dalton Kirk. Fourth went to Scott Collins, Jimmie Davis was fifth.

Mark Selsor of Nevada, Mo. captured his first Humboldt fea-ture win of the season, despite the determined efforts of runner up Doug Scism. Tyler James looked strong again, finishing third. Blake Davis was fourth, with Brandon Weide fifth.

Rockies beat up Greinke in 11-7 win over RoyalsKANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)

— Jason Giambi took Zack Greinke deep, not much of a surprise given their history against each other.

The rest of the Rockies batter-ing the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner? That was a nice boost at the end of a road trip.

Giambi homered and drove in four runs, Ian Stewart had three RBIs and the Colorado Rockies roughed up Greinke in an 11-7 win over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday.

(Monday’s game went late.)“To beat a guy like that is a

huge confidence booster,” said Giambi, who has 799 career extra-base hits. “A lot of guys asked about him in this room and I said this guy’s electric, when he’s got it going he’s got great stuff. Lucky for us, we caught him right before he gets going.”

Giambi got it started against Kansas City’s ace with a three-run homer in the third inning and capped a five-run fourth off him with an RBI single. Troy Tulowitzki homered, Clint Barmes drove in two runs and the Rockies chased Gre-inke (1-5) after 3 1-3 innings in his shortest outing in nearly two years.

The pitching wasn’t so great.Aaron Cook labored with

command and couldn’t end a lengthy road losing streak despite being spotted a 9-0 lead. Esmil Rogers (1-2) pitched two innings in relief to get his first career win, but he wasn’t exactly sharp, allowing two runs and five of Kansas City’s season-high 18 hits in two innings.

The Rockies made up for it by tying a team record with five double plays and banging out 15 hits.

“It was really good to see us swing the bats in the manner in which we did,” Rockies man-ager Jim Tracy said.

“We didn’t necessarily pitch the game as well as I liked to see it pitched, especially when we got out to a 9-0 lead.”

Greinke has been hurt by low run support in his disappointing

start to the season.Lately, the long balls haven’t

done him any good, either.Last start, it was Baltimore’s

Luke Scott, who hit two solo shots off the right-hander in a no-decision that the Orioles went on to win in 10 innings.

Giambi took his turn against Greinke this time, launching a three-run shot to center that put the Rockies up 3-0 in the third inning.

Maybe that wasn’t much of a surprise: of Giambi’s five career hits against Greinke, four are homers.

But everyone else was hitting Greinke, too.

He wasn’t sharp for one of the rare times over the past two seasons and the Rockies pounced on seemingly every pitch, battering him for five runs in the fourth inning.

“Every once in a while it’s not your day,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “That was one of those occasions for Zack today. He just struggled to get

his fastball down.”The Royals still had a shot

after Giambi’s homer in the third inning, but Greinke’s struggles in the fourth was too much to overcome.

Stewart had a two-run double in the inning, and Barmes, Dex-ter Fowler and Giambi each had run-scoring singles.

The hits by Fowler and Giambi came after Royals shortstop Yuniesky Betancourt was charged with an error on an underhanded throw to second that rolled like a golf putt.

Greinke allowed eight runs — seven earned — on nine hits in his shortest outing since giving up seven runs in three innings against the White Sox on July 18, 2008.

“They weren’t really swing-ing at it, so I was leaving in the wrong part of the strike zone,” Greinke said. “Sometimes you get away with stuff, but they were aggressive and not really missing stuff.”

Cook’s problems came in the fifth inning.

The Royals roughed up the

right-hander for four runs in the inning, getting run-scor-ing singles from Billy Butler, Mitch Maier and Chris Getz to go with Alberto Callaspo’s sac-rifice fly to cut the lead to 9-4.

Cook gave up four runs on nine hits in 4 1-3 innings to remain winless his last nine road starts, but Tulowitzki added a solo homer and Barmes a run-scoring double in the sixth to put the Rockies up 11-4.

“I made some bad pitches, walked a couple of guys and got some pitches up in the zone,” Cook said. “I was just trying to give our defense a chance, they were turning double plays all day. I wasn’t trying to strike anyone out, just let them put the ball in play, and they kept hitting it where our fielders weren’t.”

Butler had four hits, while Maier and Callaspo had two RBIs each.

NOTES: A moment of silence was held before the game in memory of Jose Lima, who died Sunday of a heart attack.

Chiefs keep quiet after Bowe talks of team’s liaisons

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kansas City Chiefs receiver Dwayne Bowe caused an off-the-field distraction by describ-ing how his teammates arranged to have women meet them at a hotel during his rookie season.

The flamboyant receiver told ESPN the Magazine that team-mates arranged to have women meet them at a hotel during a road trip in his rookie season in 2007.

In Friday’s edition of the magazine, Bowe describes a trip to San Diego where teammates “imported” girls they found on MySpace and Facebook.

He said they would pick out the pretty ones and have them fly in three or four days in advance, filling the entire top floor of the hotel.

“They know everything about us — first and last names, sis-ters and brothers, salary,” he said in the magazine. “This one girl was talking to me like she’d known me for years. “Hey, D-Bowe, how’s Grandma?” I’m like, “How do you know my grandma?” She knew that I talk about her every time I’m inter-viewed for a story.

“I told her I had a girlfriend, but she didn’t care. She was wearing my jersey, sitting in

my lap, making it look like we knew each other. Then she took a picture and put it on Facebook. That almost got me in trouble.”

Now, everyone is in lock-down mode.

The Chiefs were mum on Bowe’s lurid story on Monday, with coach Todd Haley call-ing it an “internal matter” and players throughout the locker room repeating “no comment” at every turn. Bowe definitely caused a stir last week when he told ESPN the Magazine about a 2007 road trip when teammates “imported” women they found on social networking sites.

Bowe’s career has been plagued by dropped passes and last year he was suspended four games for violating the NFL’s drug policy.

A first-round pick out of LSU in 2007, Bowe has had three solid seasons with the Chiefs, but has been plagued by dropped passes throughout his short career. He was sus-pended four games last season for violating the league’s policy on performance enhancing sub-stances and finished the year with 47 catches for 589 yards and four touchdowns on a team that went 4-12.

Drillers take third at inviteCHANUTE—The Chanute

Drillers 11 and under baseball team hosted a baseball tourna-ment this past weekend at Sante Fe Park.

In the first game and facing the Burlington Blast, the Drillers dug themselves an early hole, 3-0. The Drillers answered in the bottom half of the first. Day-lon Splane walked and would later score when Grant McMil-len walked and got in a run down. McMillen ended up safe and later scored on a past ball. Hunter Friederich walked and then scored on an RBI-double by Josh Miller, who later scored on a fielder’s choice on a ball hit by Trez Martinez.

With Friederich on the mound, the Blast failed to score for the rest of the game. The Drillers racked up six more runs in the second on four hits. The Drillers added eight more in the third on only one hit and seven walks. Scout Lee scored the final run in the 18-3 victory. Next up was the team from Anderson County. The Drillers scored two in the first, as Gage Matlock and McMillen both crossed the plate on a double by Friederich. Anderson County answered in the bottom half with two runs of their own. Anderson County

was able to get one run across and take a 3-2 lead in the bot-tom of the fourth. Josh Miller left after the fourth inning allowing only two earned runs and three hits, while striking out seven.

Craig Elliott came on in relief of Miller. After a walk and a strike out and with a man on third, Elliott struck out the next batter, but the ball was in the dirt. Catcher, Gage Matlock, looked the runner back to third and threw to first. On the throw, the runner at third attempted to score, but a great return throw from McMillen kept the score at 2-3 going into the last inning.

Splane led off with a double and stole third. Matlock walked and induced some chaos round-ing first, allowing Splane to score and advancing himself to third on

the attempt to get Splane out at home. Matlock later scored on a past ball to give the Drillers a 4-3 win. In the semifinals, the Drillers faced Ft. Scott. The Tigers got off to an early 2-0 lead. The Drillers struggled offensively, collecting only five hits. A one-out double in the fourth by Josh Miller set the table for the Drillers only run, as Miller would score on an RBI single by Keaton Holmes.

Fort Scott ended up winning 6-1. Ft. Scott would go on to win the tournament.

The loss sent the Drillers to the third place game in a rematch against Anderson County. Miller got the start and allowed a lead-off single who later scored on a failed attempt to throw the runner out at third. Splane took over with the score tied at 1-1,

after Miller singled and scored on a Friederich single to right in the first. Anderson County had a 3-1 lead going into the bottom of the third inning. The Drillers answered back with four runs in the bottom of the stanza. Singles by Matlock, Miller and Hunter plated Matlock and cut the lead to 3-2. After Trez Martinez and McMillen walked, two more runs scored on walks, giving the Drill-ers a 5-3 lead. Both teams went in order in the fourth and scored one in the fifth inning. Splane walked and stole second to start the last inning. After an out and two intentional walks to Miller and Friederich, Splane scored on a wild pitch to McMillen to give the Drillers a 7-6 win and third place. The Drillers ran their record to 12-3.

Major League BaseballMajor League Baseball Revoked scholarships surprise college athletes more and moreCOLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — After scoring

just 22 points all season in mop-up duty, Mis-souri freshman forward Tyler Stone has no illusions of bolting college for the NBA after a single year. Instead, the 6-foot-7 Memphis native is a different sort of one-and-done: a college athlete leaving a school sooner than his family expected as a prized recruit takes over his scholarship.

“I can’t see how a school can love him to death one year and the next year cut him loose,” said his mother, Sharon Stone.

The NCAA says its rules are clear. Ath-letic scholarships are one-year, “merit-based” awards that require both demonstrated aca-demic performance as well as “participation expectations” on the playing field.

College sport watchdogs — and, occasion-ally, athletes themselves — tell a different story. They see unkept promises and bot-tom-line decisions at odds with the defini-tion of student-athlete. Those discrepancies apparently have caught the attention of the U.S. Justice Department. Its antitrust divi-sion is investigating the one-year renewable scholarship, with agents interviewing NCAA officials and member schools.

“This happens a lot more than anybody even believes,” said New Haven manage-

ment professor Allen Sack, a former Notre Dame football player and vocal NCAA crit-ic. “You’re allowed to do it. According to the NCAA, there’s nothing wrong with it. Coaches don’t go out of their way to clarify (scholarship length). They make it as vague as they possibly can.”

At Missouri, the school announced on April 12 that Stone and sophomore guard Miguel Paul were transferring to seek more playing time. Two days later, the Tigers signed a pair of the country’s top-rated junior college trans-fers. Missouri coach Mike Anderson called the timing of the two announcements coinci-dental. Stone declined an interview request, but his mother spoke with the AP at length in several interviews and made it clear that her son was pushed out.

Exactly how often athletic scholarships are revoked to make room for better players is hard to quantify, though a pair of recent studies on turnover in college basketball offer a few clues. The National College Players Association, an advocacy group that lobbies for athletes’ rights, found an average roster turnover rate of 22 percent among the 65 schools in the 2009 NCAA tournament. That works out to 169 players out of 775 possible returners. The group includes players who

lost scholarships for academic reasons or who sought transfers, but excludes graduating seniors and those who left for the NBA.

The University of North Carolina’s College Sport Research Institute found that 11 of 95 Division I schools studied had at least 20 per-cent roster turnover for the 2009-10 season.

In football, former Colorado State kicker Durrell Chamarro expected to stay at the school that recruited him for his entire col-lege career.

After a redshirt freshman year and another season as a backup, former Rams coach Sonny Lubick told Chamorro in the spring of 2007 that his scholarship had been revoked. Chamorro was invited to remain with the team as a walk-on.

“I was told that as long as I maintained at least a 2.0 GPA and didn’t break any rules, I would have my scholarship for four or five years,” said Chamorro. Chamorro eventually transferred to Cal Poly Pomona — but not before borrowing roughly $10,000 in student loans and taking a detour through junior col-lege.

“They say whatever they think they need to get you to come to their school,” he said. “But when you get there, they can do whatever they want.”

NCCC’s Chambers signs with Morningside College

Neosho County Community Col-lege sophomore volleyball player Amy Chambers has signed to play for Morningside College in Sioux City, Iowa.

A 6-1 outside hitter, Chambers averaged 3.18 kills per game and

3.15 digs this past season for the Panthers. Chambers also had 13 aces for Coach Asya Herron and the Panthers.

Chambers is a graduate of Wamego High School.

Dear Amy: I’m responding to your “second chance” stories.

I have a brother who was in and out of trouble during his 20s and 30s. Mostly, he was in trouble.

I tried to keep in touch with him, but he was very hard to track down. He moved around a lot. He missed many family events, and our family developed hard feelings toward him.

It took Facebook to bring us together. My kids got my wife and me on Facebook, and one day I got a “friend request” from my brother.

This started a tenuous correspondence between us, and I am happy to say that it has grown into a relationship.

We just shared our first visit in almost 20 years. It was great.

I realized that I didn’t care so much about the choices he had made in the past. I was prepared to start over, and he was too.

Now I have my brother back, and my kids finally know their uncle. — Grateful

Dear Grateful: Facebook is proving a surprisingly effective connection tool between far-flung or estranged family members. People interested in exploring this social networking tool can sign up at facebook.com.

I’m happy this “friendship” connection worked for your family.

Readers can read other second-chance stories (and submit their own) at my Web site: mysecondchancestories.com.

Dear Amy: How would you respond to someone whose answer for everything is, “Get over it!”?

I have a friend who throws that phrase around constantly.

I can’t confide anything to her or describe a problem a friend may be having, because her response is always the same: “You need to get over that, and fast.”

I feel as if she’s telling me that my worries or concerns are not real and that I’m wasting my time even thinking about them.

Some of my other friends have completely dropped her because of her callous phrase — they got sick of hearing it.

I’m almost at that point too! I would never tell her to “get over it” if she came to me with a problem or a sad story.

How can I tell her how rude she is? — Almost Over Her

Dear Almost: From time to time, readers will suggest that I should tell people who share their problems to “get over it,” but I maintain that people who reach out are trying to “get over it” by looking for some guidance and support. Sometimes they just want to tell their story in their own way and feel they’re being heard.

You are correct that this person is diminishing and denigrating you. What you don’t

know is whether this phrase is an accurate reflection of her low opinion of you or more a terrible rhetorical habit.

Before you drop this friend, you should do her the favor of saying, “When you tell me to ‘get over’ every issue I choose to share with you, what I hear is that my questions and problems are very trivial and that you don’t really want for me to be in a serious friendship with you.”

You should give your friend an opportunity to explain herself. Perhaps she’ll even try to modify her behavior. If she can’t (or won’t), then you’ll join the legion of her former friends.

Dear Amy: “Sad and Sorry” had a husband who had admitted to an emotional affair with a colleague. Then he insisted on going on a trip with this same person -- and without his wife!

Your answer didn’t go far enough. She needs to dump him, and fast! — Been There

Dear Been There: “Sad” said she was almost ready to throw in the towel on her marriage. The two of them were in couples therapy.

I am not comfortable suggesting that people in a marriage “dump” one another.

I did suggest that they needed to clarify and state their intentions to the counselor and that Sad should make a choice for herself — and not try to use her actions to force her husband’s hand.

Facebook friendship brings brothers together

Dear Heloise: Here’s a tip that saved me a lot of money before my son entered college: I started buying things way, way in advance. Through the years while he was in school, if I saw something good for a great price, I’d get it — towels, sheets (extra-long twin for dorm beds), blanket, hamper, alarm-clock radio, desk lamp, light bulbs, basic stationery, etc. Therefore, when he started school, I didn’t have to buy all that stuff the summer before. I had stored it through the years in a “for college” labeled section of his closet. — Ellen, via e-mail

Sounds like a college hope chest! Here’s another college money-saver, from Pat of League City, Texas: “My daughter is a freshman this year. Because I am a single mom, we looked for ways to cut costs. We found a website that rents college textbooks. Though she did not wish to rent all of her books, she was able to save a couple of hundred dollars per semester by renting books she did not want to keep. Books were available for $20-$25 each, with free shipping. Every little bit helps.”

Folks, if you have children near college age (or in college), both of these hints are big money-savers! Renting textbooks is brilliant! — Heloise

Dear Heloise: I wish manufacturers of products would list their complete address on the label so consumers like me could write it down. Most of them list only their town and state. My mail is always returned. — Catherine B. in West Virginia

You can call the library reference desk for an address and phone number for a product, or check online. Most of the products I checked had the full address. — Heloise

Dear Heloise: I had to order a replacement USB cable for my camera recently. To keep this from happening again, I bought a small, lined wicker basket to hold all the many media cords that are needed. I then used a silver pen to label each cord so I easily can find the one I need. —Sharlette, via e-mail

Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or e-mail it to Heloise(at)Heloise.com.

Wichita police say wifehits husband with car

CLEVELAND (AP) — Comedian Drew Carey plans to visit his hometown of Cleveland to discuss with City Coun-cil members his ideas to help revitalize the city.

“The Price is Right” host is expected to meet with council members Thursday after accepting an invitation from Coun-cil President Martin Sweeney.

Last month, Carey argued for less government, more competition, less taxes and changes to schools in 10-minute segments about Cleveland on the website reason.tv. The site is affiliated with the Reason Foundation, a libertarian-lean-ing organization for which Carey is a board member.

In inviting Carey, Sweeney wrote “Clevelanders some-times bristle at criticism from outsiders, but you are one of us ... as one of our Favorite Sons, your thoughts and ideas are most welcome.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Michael Kuchwara, The Associ-ated Press’ longtime drama critic whose thoughtful, fair-minded reviews made him beloved and respected in the theater world and influential beyond, died Saturday night. He was 63.

Kuchwara, who had held his position since 1984 and recently celebrated his 40th anniversary with the AP, died at Beth Israel Hospital in Manhattan of complications from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a lung disease that causes scarring. He entered the hospital May 10.

Ponder Henley, his brother-in-law, said Kuchwara was surrounded by family and was listening to music from his favorite show “Gypsy” on his iPod when he died.

On May 5, the Beta Sigma Phi sorority groups of Pi Delta and Preceptor Delta Epsilon cel-ebrated Founder’s day of the Beta Sigma Phi nationwide sorority. This was the 79th anni-versary of Beta Sigma Phi founded by Walter Ross, in Abilene, in 1931. There are currently 165,000 members nationwide. There are pres-ently two groups in Chanute that have more than 30 members.

This year the groups celebrated together with a dinner and program at the Neosho County Community College. The entertainment was provided by Logan Wilson, son of Dawn Wil-son who has been a member of the Pi Delta group for 16 years. Logan, 13, is a 6th grader at St. Paul Middle School. Logan was born with some health issues, however scoliosis, low muscle tone and other congenital conditions have not kept him from doing what he loves. And that is … impersonating Elvis and singing songs in benefit concerts to raise funds for charities helping other children with medical problems. ogan, a.k.a. Elvis, sang several of his favorite songs for the group.

The money that was raised from donations totaled $260. Logan has chosen to donate the money to the Chanute Community Foundation.

Reduce, reuse, recycle

Harold Campbell/TribuneMembers of Cheryl Methvin’s kindergarten class at Chanute Elementary School pick up trash outside the school building Monday morning as part of a lesson on “Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.”

Chanute armory for 27 years, said he hated to see the armory shut down, but added he was glad he got to see so many of the Guard mem-bers he had served with at Saturday’s event.

“When I started serving as unit adminis-trator 27 years ago, I was never expecting they would get rid of (the armory),” Eubanks said. “But there are a whole lot of memories here.”

At exactly 5 p.m., the 891st honor guard lowered the flag at the building for the last time as a National Guard armory. Eubanks presented the flag to Chanute Public Safety Director Sam Budreau, who then handed it to Mayor Ed Cox.

The City of Chanute honor guard then raised the flag in front of the armory for the first time as a city-owned building. The Cha-

nute American Legion honor guard also took part in the ceremony.

In a brief comment, Cox thanked Guard members for their service out of the armory for the past 55 years.

“We have been blessed by the men and women who serve our country,” he said.

Meanwhile, the future of the armory build-ing is still uncertain.

While some have mentioned such uses for the building as a new fire station or a recre-ational facility, Cox said the city commission and staff would need to have a full discussion of the building’s future. He also invited the public’s input.

“We need to look at all the possibilities,” he said.
