The Iola Register
Police reports
H Trail
Continued from A1
has piqued the interest of
Thrive Allen County, said
David Toland, its executive
director.
“We’re going to work on
it,” Toland said.
IN ADDITION to the
trail’s surfacing, a grant
from KDOT will pay for installation of a signal where
the trail now crosses North
State Street, one block
north of Garfield Street.
The electronic signal,
which will extend over
State Street, will have three
lights, two yellow and one
red that will be activated
by trail users. When someone pushes the button the
two yellow lights will flash
to draw attention of motorists, and turn solid yellow
before the red light, to stop
traffic, comes on.
Schinstock
said
the
trail’s crossing of U.S. 54
would not include an elec-
tronic traffic signal.
“Our engineers (SchwabEaston, Manhattan) did
studies at both places and
found that traffic was heavier and faster on North State
Street than on (U.S.) 54,”
just before it leaves Iola,
Schinstock said.
Trail walkers will be encouraged to use the levee
around Riverside Park,
both as an exercise adjunct
and for access to restrooms
and other facilities in the
park.
“The Corps of Engineers
recently certified the levees
and reminded us that the
fence on the (north) levee
should be moved,” Schinstock said. Because the
fence belongs to USD 257,
“we’ll be talking to (Superintendent of Schools Brian)
Pekarek about moving the
fence.”
Removal of the fence
would make it easier to
maintain a pathway along
the top of the levee that cir-

two possible locations, 30
acres lying south of Oregon
Road on the west side of
Kentucky and a 25-acre plot
on the northwest corner of
U.S. 169 and Oregon Road,
which lies outside of city
limits and would require
annexation.
Either site would be in
support of Iola’s master
plan, Gilpin said, which
projects the city’s growth
to the north. And, she added, “I hope there’s no conflict going forward. We will
put due diligence in the decision tonight,” referring
to the 7:30 p.m. meeting
at Allen County Hospital
when trustees will review
soil tests from North Kentucky.
Councilmen, polled by
Mayor Bill Shirley, gave
their support to the North
Kentucky site, generally
noting they were not for annexation and they wanted
to provide utilities to the
new hospital.
A year ago Iola committed a one-quarter cent of
city sale tax revenue, not to
exceed $350,000 a year for
nine years, in support of
the hospital.

cles the park.
City officials have talked
about making a path atop
the levee of crushed rock,
although “grass probably
would be just as good,”
Schinstock said.
Trail users would have
little trouble leaving the levee on its grassy slope and
those who prefer a stairway
would find three, two on the
west side and one of the
south.
The levee was constructed in the late 1930s in a
Works Progress Administration program. The WPA
began in 1935, at the height
of the Great Depression,
and over the next eight
years $13.4 billion were
spent throughout the nation to improve communities’ infrastructure and put
people to work.
H Buller
Continued from A1
old. Her early years were
spent in and out of hospitals. Her legs were supported with braces and crutches. When she was 13 she was
confined to a wheelchair.
Not one to back away
from a challenge, she set
her mind on a teaching career and in 1973 rolled into
her first classroom.
Buller taught in Yates
Center, Oberlin, Neosho
County Community College, for the ANW Special
Education
Cooperative
and at Lincoln Elementary
School.
“I never had any problems with my students. I
may have been small, but
my authoritative voice let
them know that I was in
charge of the classroom,”
she said.
Her one problem came
with members of a board of
education in western Kansas that made her go into
the bathroom so they could
see if she could fit into the
toilet stall.
“I was so humiliated, but
I ‘stood my ground’ and
proved to the school board I
could manage,” she said.
She retired from teaching in 2007.
IN 1972, her father custom-built a home for her
in Piqua. The kitchen cabinets are low to the ground,
her washer is a front loading machine and her stove
has controls on the front
just above the oven door instead of on the back panel
behind the burners.
This summer Buller also
planted a vegetable garden
in containers, which she
could tend from her wheelchair.
“I wanted others who
have mobility disabilities
to know about the bathtub,”
Buller said. “It is a little on
the pricey side, but I figure
if it keeps me out of a nursing home in a few years
down the road it is more
than worth its cost.”
