A look at our top local stories in the Iola Register for Thursday, January 16.

After a long break, we’re back with a special episode. September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, a time to spread the word about actions we can take to prevent suicide, and to change the conversation to one about healing, help and hope. In that spirit, we sat down with Michelle Hoag, the clinical director at the Southeast Kansas Mental Health Center. If you or someone you know is considerin...

After a long break, we’re back with a special episode. Today, Register reporter Vickie Moss interviews Dr. Brian Wolfe of Community Health Center of Southeast Kansas and a longtime physician in Iola about the troubling surge in COVID-19 cases. Active cases, hospitalizations and deaths have skyrocketed over the past several weeks, as the delta variant wreaks havoc on a country already weary of mask...

Sharla Miller lost her son Matthew to suicide last June. He was 19 years old. Since then, Sharla has become an activist in our community, spreading the word about how important and difficult the battle against depression is and advocating for mental health awareness.

In today’s episode, I speak with Ed O’Malley, CEO of the Kansas Leadership Center, about what steps community leaders can take to bring people together agai...

In this week’s podcast, Richard and Tim talk with Bob about what he’s seen and learned over a lifetime of journalism. Remarkably enough, Bob encountered only three editors— Angelo Scott, Emerson Lynn and Susan Lynn. B...

In today’s episode, we headed out to LaHarpe’s City Hall to speak with David Lee. Lee is running for a seat on the Allen County Commission. He faces Craig Mentzer and Eugene Weatherbie in the August 4 Republican primary.
