Iola Register 1-12

By BOB [email protected]

For 18 years, it was Beverly Franklin’s responsibility to open the big round safe at Iola State Bank when it was at its old build-ing at 23 E. Madison.

Franklin was given the honors again Friday afternoon at a grand opening reception at Audacious Boutique, now quartered in the former bank building.

Trouble is, the door would not open.

For more than 30 minutes Franklin tinkered with the com-bination to no avail.

Jim and Ken Gilpin, grandsons of Claud Gilpin, who once owned the bank and are Iola bankers, also tried.

The stubborn safe, last opened in 1973, did little to dampen the festivities at Kelly Sigg’s store.

David Toland, owner of the building that includes the bou-tique, said Sigg and her store, “represent what is my hope, and the hope of many others, that this is part of a renaissance for down-town Iola,” he said. “When I came over here today, I had a parking problem, couldn’t find a place to

park. That’s a good problem to have.

“We’re so fortunate that Kelly has put out this amazing store and the public has supported her and it as well as they have,” he added.

THE SAFE, which held Iola State Bank’s overnight reposi-tory, was expected to be empty. At one time, however, it held as much as “probably $20,000 or $30,000, maybe as much as $40,000,” said Jim Gilpin.

Council faces election decisions

Williams steps down as sheriff, steps up as commissioner Murphy looks ahead

By BOB [email protected]

Bryan Murphy lauded Sheriff Tom Williams for having devel-oped and maintained a high-qual-ity law enforcement agency.

“I want to keep the department that way and improve it in any ways I can,” said Murphy, 48.

He will be sworn in as sheriff Monday morning, at the same time Williams takes oath of of-fice as an Allen County commis-sioner.

Some changes may occur, Mur-phy allowed.

“I want to revive the DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Edu-cation) program in the Moran schools,” he said. “We haven’t had one there for a couple of years, and it is important to educate our young people as early as possible about the dangers of drugs and how to avoid them.”

Tom Williams, left, shakes hands with Bryan Murphy who will be sworn in as sheriff on Monday. The sheriff’s department put on a retirement party for Williams Friday.

Tom Williams’ tenure as sher-iff will draw to a close Monday when undersheriff Bryan Mur-phy is sworn in as sheriff.

The Allen County Sheriff ’s department hosted a retirement party for Williams on Friday af-ternoon; a party Williams mod-estly said wasn’t necessary.

Williams isn’t completely re-tiring. Come Monday, he will be sworn in as an Allen County com-missioner.

His mission: To solve the ongo-ing ambulance issue.

“It’s what I ran on. I won’t run again if I don’t,” he said. “What we are doing right now isn’t good for the taxpayers. I don’t have any real dogs in this fight, I just want to do what’s best for the people I am representing.”

In addition to county commis-sioner, Williams sits on the Kan-sas Crime Victims Compensation Board, a request by Attorney General Derek Schmidt.

“It has been one of the most

rewarding positions,” Williams said. “On the board we work on giving back to victims some degree of making them whole again.”

WILLIAMS was sheriff for eight years. He was elected in 2004 and took office after Robbie Atkins.

“In this business I have been able to meet some of the best people in the state of Kansas and some of the worst,” Williams said.

In the past eight years Williams has a list of accomplishments he can add to his resume — some that has gotten Williams some feed-back, such as increased spending in the sheriff ’s department.

Williams admits the costly up-grades, but says it’s lowered costs in other areas.

For example, officers have cameras on their persons while on duty. William’s said this cuts down on courtroom costs and time because the viewer is seeing what happened from the deputy’s

A year of change is in store for Iola council.

With the filing deadline only 10 days away, only three council members have filed for eight city council positions, plus a mayor.

Steve French and Don Becker, current office holders, and Jerod Kelley have filed for office. French and Kelley will run for ward four and Becker will run to represent ward three.

As for the rest of the current council, uncertainty is in the air on who will return and under which circumstances. Council member Nancy Ford said she will be running for council, but has yet to officially file.

David Toland, Scott Stewart, Beverly Franklin and Joel Wicoff each spoke to The Register about their current indecision to run, and their reasoning behind it. As of Friday afternoon, The Register had not been able to contact cur-rent council member Jim Kilby for comment.

DAVID TOLAND’S indecision is based largely upon whether a big field of newcomers is in the offing. Toland said he has been working to seek out qualified and motivated individuals to fill posi-tions.

“Hopefully we will have a strong set of candidates in every ward,” Toland said. “I haven’t

heard a lot of interest, which is disappointing because there are many opportunities to do good.”

The council is represented by eight members, two from each of the four wards representing Iola.

Toland said the council needs to find individuals who are moti-vated for the right reasons, not to accomplish a certain to-do list or items for personal gain.

“We don’t need ax-grinders or people with agendas,” Toland said.

Both Stewart and Wicoff said they plan on running for either a city council seat or as mayor. Current Mayor Bill Shirley an-nounced that he will not run again.

“I am considering running for city council as well as mayor,” Wicoff said. “I am concerned about who is going to run for city council, and I am concerned about

who is going to run for mayor.”Stewart said Wednesday he will

base his election plans on what Wicoff plans to do. He will run for council if Wicoff runs for mayor, and vice-versa.

“I am still contemplating,” Stewart said. “I want to see who else is running, someone deserves a shot.”

Of all the current council mem-bers who are undecided, Beverly Franklin is the only person to cite personal reasons as a motivator for her decision.

“I have enjoyed the past two years on the council,” Franklin said. “But I want to do some trav-eling, and I’m trying to decide if city council would interfere with that.”

She said she has not ruled out running, because she has enjoyed the more recent respectful and productive dynamics of the coun-cil.

ALL OF THE council members agreed the commitment is not one to be taken lightly, and requires time, patience and an open mind.

“There’s a learning curve, you need to have a good idea of how the process works,” French said.

French believes the system is set up for success, including four-year terms for top vote-getters of each ward.

Charles Bruce has officially been charged with eight separate counts involved with a stolen Cha-nute Police vehicle which led to a collision with a vehicle driven by the Shetlar family in Moran before the Christmas holiday in December.

Officials have charged Bruce with four counts of aggravated battery, aggravated assault of a law enforcement officer, fleeing or attempting to allude a law en-forcement officer, criminal pos-session of a firearm and reckless

driving. The incident followed a fight

that occurred on Dec. 22 in Cha-nute. Bruce was arrested by a Chanute police officer, then stole the vehicle. A high-speed chase ensued, ultimately leading to a collision with the Shetlar’s SUV which was stopped at a stop sign at U.S. Highway 54.

All four family members were sent to the hospital with injuries, all of whom are expected to make a full recovery. Bruce is scheduled for a status hearing on Feb. 6.

NEW YORK (AP) — Flu is more widespread across the na-tion, but the number of hard-hit states has declined, health offi-cials said Friday.

Flu season started early this winter, and includes a strain that tends to make people sicker. Health officials have forecast a potentially bad flu season, fol-lowing last year’s unusually mild one. The latest numbers, however, hint that the flu sea-

son may already have peaked in some spots.

Flu was widespread in 47 states last week, up from 41 the week before, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Friday. Many cases may be mild. The only states without widespread flu are California, Mississippi and Hawaii.

The hardest hit states fell to 24 from 29, with large numbers of people getting treated for flu-

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas must increase its spending on elementary and secondary education to com-ply with state law, a three-judge panel ruled Friday in a rebuke to lawmakers who said cuts to per-pupil spend-ing were unavoidable be-cause of the recession.

Parents and school dis-tricts had argued the state’s funding was unconstitution-al, saying the state has failed to live up to its promises to increase school funding as ordered by the Kansas Su-preme Court in 2006. They say schools have had to make cuts that have hurt student achievement.

Friday’s 245-page ruling from Shawnee County Dis-trict Court will likely trig-ger an appeal by the state, although it’s unclear how quickly that case would be heard.

In the ruling, the judges barred lawmakers from making further cuts to per-pupil spending. But the rul-

ing also acknowledged the state would likely appeal its findings.

The Shawnee County District Court judges said the spending cuts in recent legislative sessions caused an “unconstitutional erod-ing” of education funding. They ordered the state to reverse those declines effec-tive with the 2014 budget, which begins July 1, which would raise the base aid per student to $4,492 as required by law. The current level is $3,783 and was set by legis-lators in May 2012 based on available state revenues.

The lawsuit was filed in 2010 by attorneys John Robb and Alan Rupe, who are representing students and school districts, includ-ing Dodge City, Hutchinson, Kansas City and Wichita. They argued that despite the 2006 Supreme Court order, achievement gaps remained, dropout levels are high and students in general are com-pleting school “with less op-portunity and less education than the generation before.”

Court: Kansas must increase school funds

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — As part of an ongoing effort to reduce the inci-dence rate, the Unified Government here is pre-paring within the next few months to conduct in-depth reviews of each in-fant death that occurs in Wyandotte County.

Health department of-ficials earlier this week outlined a timetable for the initiative after Kansas Action for Children an-nounced the agency had received a five-year grant of nearly $300,000 to con-duct fetal and infant mor-tality reviews, or FIMRs.

Funding for the effort is part of a roughly $900,000 initiative through the United Methodist Health Ministry Fund and the Kansas Health Founda-tion. Kansas Action for Children, a Topeka-based advocacy group, is admin-istering the program.

“This is something I feel very strongly about and have been wanting to do something along these lines for quite some time,” said Terrie Garrison, pro-gram manager for the Uni-fied Government family planning/prenatal clinic.

Wyandotte County has about 30 fetal and infant deaths a year.

“We tend to care better for our infants than we do even for our elderly,” she said. “If we are losing ba-bies at that rate, what does that mean for the health of the community?”

As part of the reviews, teams will scrutinize death certificates, autopsy reports and the medical records of mothers. If pos-sible, the data collectors

also will interview each mother to learn things such as details regarding her prenatal care and the accessibility of bereave-ment counseling.

The review teams, which typically include medical professionals, analyze each infant death case studied through the FIMR. Another team then will work to improve com-munity services based on the findings of the reviews.

Kansas City, Mo., has had an infant death re-view program since 2003, conducted by the Mother & Child Health Coali-tion through the federal Healthy Start program. Garrison is chair-elect of the coalition board.

Coordinator Mary Jean Brown tracks infant and fetal deaths in 10 Kansas City Zip codes. The coali-tion officials said they that hope in February to be ready to publish find-ings from 125 deaths that occurred between 2004 and 2010.

Brown said the top three issues contributing to infant death identified in the reviews mirrored national data: substance abuse problems, weight issues, and lack of access to prenatal care. She said the data also revealed that about one in five of the local mothers had a his-tory of asthma, a much higher rate than among Missouri’s population as a whole.

“If we hadn’t done the data,” Brown said, “we would’ve never known that asthma was in there.”

Brown said Wyandotte County might have dif-ferent issues than Kansas City, Mo. given the high percentage of black moth-ers on the Missouri side versus the large Hispanic population on the Kansas side.

“So it’s going to change a little bit,” she predicted, “and that’s what they need to do – ferret it out.”

The announcement of the grant opportunity came at a May meeting of the Kansas Blue Ribbon Panel on Infant Mortality.

SALINA, Kan. (AP) — Matt White relishes those seven years as a Salina Fire Department paramed-ic, but he took advantage of a passion during time off that developed into an-other career.

Working 24-hour shifts earned him 48 hours away from his fire department job, some of which was dedicated to cueing up a video hobby that grew into a business.

“I fell in love with it,” White recalled.

With support from his wife, Tracy, and help from two brothers, Matt began collecting footage of “out-side stuff.” Every experi-ence piqued more inter-est and begged further research.

“With some extremely excessive behavior and study, we started doing it for people (and pay) after a couple of years,” he said. “Then it kind of got out of control.”

First came weddings for about 18 months, and as his reputation grew, White made his foray into pro-motional videos for busi-nesses and institutions, dazzling clients such as Salina Vortex and Kansas State University at Salina.

The company, Rock-house Motion, has since earned some wings.

Since leaving the fire de-partment in April, White has added a partner — Dustin Lutt — hired assis-tants, among them Bryan Keeler, just retired from the Salina Fire Depart-ment after 31 years, and they’re booking flights to serve clients all over the world. British Colum-bia and South Africa are

among their destinations.“Through hard work

and meeting people the right way through word of mouth and letting our work do the talking, this next year is looking crazi-er than anything up to this point,” said White, 29.

He and Tracy — a reg-istered nurse working at a Little River nursing home — have two young chil-dren, and she’s expecting a third on Valentine’s Day.

The Whites recently were driving to Utah where Lutt, 27, was getting mar-

ried. For obvious reasons, Lutt could not be reached for comment for this story.

A partnership developed in September after White saw Lutt’s work on Face-book. Lutt was living in South Dakota at the time.

“It’s truly great work. I asked him to come down and help on two pro bono pieces, and I offered him part of the company,” White said.

With top-of-the-line “Red Digital Cinema” equip-ment that produces five times the resolution as high definition television, according to White, their youthful imaginations, and enthusiasm, these chums are snaring business.

“We want to touch on an emotional level, move people,” White said. “Even with a company that makes valves, a film should be en-

tertaining to watch.”Salina Vortex, which

makes valves for handling dry bulk materials, sought to duplicate the “wow fac-tor” customers glean from visits to the Salina plant, said Jeff Thompson, com-pany president and CEO.

In a challenge to Vortex’s “marketing guys,” Thomp-son said, “There are people who just can’t make it to Salina. Is there a way we can put together a video to get across the ‘Wow factor’ message?”

They found Rockhouse

Motion, which did a brand-ing film for Vortex. The aim is “to not sell a prod-uct but to sell a name,” White said. Their work im-pressed Thompson.

“They’re young, creative and have some unbeliev-able technology. Some of the shots they took of our shop were pretty neat,” he said. “Capturing our work-ers ... smiling and engaged showed it’s a fun place to work. I was very pleased.”

The video for KSU-Sali-na focused on a young boy mesmerized by the wonder of flight as he watched a spray pilot at work.

“They’re very gifted,” said Dennis Lauver, presi-dent and CEO of the Salina Area Chamber of Com-merce, of the Rockhouse Motion crew.

The videos for Vortex, KSU-Salina and other cor-

porations may be viewed at salinakansas.org. Go to “news and events” and click on “video links.”

“It proves that Kansas talent is exceptional,” Lau-ver said.

Rockhouse Motion’s headquarters is on White’s grandparents’ farmstead west of Lindsborg, which was homesteaded in the 1890s. The sandstone home out back, which is still holding up to Kansas ex-tremes, provides the basis for the company name.

The partners use gear — cranes, steady cams and sliders — that White said is uncommon in these parts for shooting advertis-ing video.

“We want to bring all that stuff, that normally only big companies can af-ford, to Middle America,” White said. “We handle it all in-house. It’s a turn-key production house in the middle of Kansas.”

Rockhouse Motion isn’t resting on promotional videos.

“Eventually, we want to make films that aren’t aimed at advertising,” White said. “We want to make feature length films, documentaries that take a topic and tell that story in a cinematic fashion.”

Salina Fire Chief Larry Mullikin misses the para-medic who bolted for mov-ing pictures.

“He did outstanding work. I’d dearly love for him to come back to work for us, but I don’t think that’s going to happen,” Mullikin said. “He’s as great of a photographer as he was a paramedic. I hope he excels and achieves what his heart desires. That’s something that burns in his chest.”

Paramedic turns hobby into thriving second career

We want to bring all that stuff, that normal-ly only big companies can afford, to Middle America, We handle it all in-house. It’s a turn-key production house in the middle of Kansas.

Recent flu reports have included the holidays when some doctor’s offices were closed, so it will probably take a couple more weeks to know if the flu has peaked in some places or grown stronger in others, CDC of-ficials said Friday.

“Only time will tell how moderate or severe this flu season will be,” CDC Direc-tor Dr. Thomas Frieden said in a teleconference with re-porters.

Nationally, 20 children have died from the flu. There is no running tally of adult deaths, but the CDC estimates that the flu kills about 24,000 people in an av-erage year.

Flu vaccinations are rec-ommended for everyone 6 months or older, and health officials say it is not too late to get vaccinated. flu re-ports.

Nearly 130 million doses of flu vaccine were distrib-uted this year, and at least 112 million have been used. Vaccine is still available, but supplies may have run low in some locations, health of-ficials say.

coughing in my face,” she said. “I didn’t want to risk it this year.”

The flu vaccine isn’t fool-proof; people who get vacci-nated can still get sick.

On Friday, CDC officials said a recent study of more than 1,100 people has con-cluded the current flu vac-cine is 62 percent effective. That means the average vac-cinated person is 62 percent less likely to get a case of flu that’s bad enough to require a trip to the doctor, com-pared to people who don’t get the vaccine.

That’s in line with how ef-fective the vaccine has been in other years.

The flu vaccine is refor-mulated annually, and offi-cials say this year’s version is a good match to the virus-es going around.

Flu usually peaks in mid-winter. Symptoms can in-clude fever, cough, runny nose, head and body aches and fatigue. Some people also suffer vomiting and di-arrhea, and some develop pneumonia or other severe complications.

Most people with flu have a mild illness. But people with severe symptoms should see a doctor. They may be given antiviral drugs or other medications to ease symptoms.

Some shortages have been reported for children’s liquid Tamiflu, a prescrip-tion medicine used to treat flu. But health officials say adult Tamiflu pills are avail-able, and pharmacists can convert those to doses for children.

A couple of weeks ago I received this list from Marci Penner of the Kan-sas Sampler Foundation. Penner wrote a list of 52 things people can do to make their community stronger. These are some of Penner’s suggestions:

1. Ask questions. 4. Send a thank you card

to someone.9. Take a step of advance-

ment on your computer — or teach someone.

11. Take part in your community online commu-nication.

15. Eat meals at locally owned cafes.

29. Create a family or friend cash mob at a locally owned store or attraction.

35. Attend a city council meeting.

39. Recycle.43. Organize an im-

promptu parade for your block.

50. Take your used books to a small library; example, LaHarpe.

51. Tour the state capi-tol and Kansas Museum of History in Topeka.

52. Do your part to help

rural Kansas be the best it can be.

I have been down with a virus these past several weeks so things that I had planned to do were put on hold. One of these plans was the Cash Mob. It will be back. If we can’t squeeze it in this month then we will do it in February.

The Chamber Expo dates are March 29, 30 this year. We will start taking appli-cations the first week of February. We are looking forward to another great year ahead.

I do want to take the time to say thank you to Duane McGraw for all the things he does for Iola and the area. He does more than ev-eryone knows and is a vital part of our community.

SEATTLE — Federal reg-ulators pledged Friday to carefully examine the design and production of the Boe-ing 787 Dreamliner with a fo-cus on its electrical systems.

The rare in-depth review was prompted by a rash of recent 787 incidents, includ-ing electrical faults in flight and a fire inside a parked Dreamliner last Monday.

Officials also sought to re-assure the traveling public about the plane’s safety as Boeing’s new jet continues to fly with 50 airplanes in service and more than 150 flights every day.

Secretary of Transporta-tion Ray LaHood led a high-profile news conference in Washington, D.C., joined by new Federal Aviation Ad-ministration chief Michael Huerta and Boeing Commer-cial Airplanes Chief Execu-tive Ray Conner.

“Maintaining the best and the safest aviation system in the world means going the extra mile when it comes to safety,” LaHood said. “We will look for the root causes of recent events and do ev-erything we can to ensure these events don’t happen again.”

Huerta said the review will cover not only the jet’s design but also the manufac-turing processes, down to the level of Boeing’s suppliers.

“We want to make sure the approved quality-control procedures are in place and that all the necessary over-sight is done,” Huerta said.

“We are confident about the safety of this aircraft,” he said, “But we are con-cerned about these incidents and will conduct the review until we are completely sat-isfied.”

U.S. Rep. Steven Palazzo( R-Miss), left, and Rep. John Runyan (R-N.J.) tour the damage from Hurricane Sandy in Seaside Heights, N.J. on Tuesday. The law-maker from the Katrina-ravaged Gulf Coast, which benefited from lots of federal aid, voted against a boost to the flood insurance program and became a punch-ing bag for the New York media for what appeared to be hypocrisy.

Examining the damage

By ANN SIMMONS, KATE MATHER and ROBERT J. LOPEZLos Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Au-thorities in Taft, Calif., are investigating reports that the teen who allegedly opened fire at Taft Union High School had threat-ened to kill students last year and had complained about being bullied.

A 16-year-old student was critically wounded by the shooter, who brought a 12-gauge shotgun onto campus Thursday morning and opened fire, authorities said.

The assailant is a 16-year-old student who planned the attack Wednesday night and used a weapon owned by his brother, said Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood.

Angela Hayden, whose 16-year-old daughter at-tends Taft, said the suspect-ed shooter allegedly threat-ened to kill her daughter and other students last year while they were on a school bus during a field trip to

Universal Studios.“He was telling everyone

that he had a list of people who messed with him over the years and that he was going to kill them,” Hayden told the Los Angeles Times. She said the boy allegedly said his brother would be the first victim.

Hayden said her daugh-ter complained about the incident to a vice principal and that the boy was sus-pended for several days. After the boy returned, Hayden said, she called the principal wanting to know why he was not perma-nently barred from cam-pus. The principal declined to discuss the punishment, citing privacy concerns, ac-cording to Hayden.

“Everybody knew about this kid,” Hayden said.

Hayden said that her son attended Taft and that he was harassed by students there.

“Taft has a problem with bullies,” Hayden said.

School officials could not be reached Thursday night for comment. But the Kern

County Sheriff ’s Depart-ment said it was aware of the allegations.

The shooting stunned people in the small town southwest of Bakersfield.

Youngblood said the shooting occurred about 9 a.m. PST. The assailant, who was not identified by police, is a student at the school and arrived late. He had apparently had some prior dealings with the student he targeted and wounded.

Authorities said the shooter came into class with the shotgun, spoke to the student, and shot two to four rounds at him, strik-ing him once. He then ad-dressed another student by name and fired, but missed. Police said witnesses were distracted by the chaos and they could not say how many rounds had been fired. Police officers ar-rived after the teacher had disarmed the shooter, and took him into custody. They seized his firearm and about 20 extra rounds in his pocket, they said.

Register/Allison TinnHeave-hoDrew Mosser, Jesse Lock and Ed Rexford with Sch-urle Signs Co. in Lawrence lift the new America’s Best Value Inn sign, Friday. Owners of what used to be Best Western changed franchises. All employees remain.

ALL OF THE council members agreed the com-mitment is not one to be tak-en lightly, and requires time, patience and an open mind.

“There’s a learning curve, you need to have a good idea of how the process works,” French said.

French believes the sys-tem is set up for success, including four-year terms for top vote-getters of each ward.

The changes to the city council were adopted in 2011— changed from a three-person, two-year city com-mission arrangement.

Other council members differed.

“This form of government doesn’t make sense,” Toland said. “It needs to be changed to a five-person council or a commission.”

He said the ward sys-tem is “unwieldy” as well, making it too easy for can-didates to garner votes in such a small community. He said for a metropolitan area sectionalized voting areas can be helpful, but not for a small rural town. In addi-tion, he believes the eight-person council results in a slow-down of decision mak-ing.

Stewart reflected Toland’s sentiments, agreeing with changes in council size,

wards, as well as the four-year term, which he says is too long.

“It’s not an easy job,” Stewart said, “I’m reluctant to tie myself down for four years.”

Ford, who cited her rea-son for running from receiv-ing many requests from the public, said she thinks the size of the council could be smaller, and the terms could be shorter, but contends that a ward system is beneficial to the different neighbor-hoods in the city.

In the end, the system was voted on by the public and both Wicoff and French said they believe the council should be run the way the public thinks it should be run.

Nonetheless, Toland, among others, hopes to see some changes in the future.

“I am going to support ef-forts for a five-person coun-cil with three-year terms,” Toland said.

FOR THOSE DEBATING on their decisions, as well as those who have made com-mitments, they all agreed that the council has made good progress recently and the civic discussions have improved.

“We were taking the pains of growing into a new gov-ernment, but I think the dy-namic is going well,” Wicoff

said. Many members would

like to see these new devel-opments carried on, either by themselves or those who might be elected in 2013.

Some topics mentioned to The Register included the

water fund, sewer projects, school improvements and the new hospital.

French said he believes the city council is a big re-sponsibility, which he now knows first-hand from his experience.

“I joined the majority of the population when it comes to complaining,” French said. “Now I know how the process works.”

Toland said the council needs to continue to focus on helping the community

through constructive “civic dialogue.”

“I’m not interested in the past, I’m interested in the fu-ture,” Toland said. “We have a lot of work to do if we are going to continue to exist as a community.”

Tribune Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON — Presi-dent Obama nominated White House Chief of Staff Jacob J. Lew to lead the Treasury Department on Thursday, saying the long-time Washington operator and unassuming budget wonk would focus on the battles over the federal bud-get that are likely to con-sume much of Obama’s sec-ond term.

In brief remarks in the East Room, Obama high-lighted Lew’s past experi-ence negotiating budget deals, first as an aide to Speaker of the House Thom-as P. “Tip” O’Neill Jr. and

then as budget director for President Clinton.

Noting the balanced budgets in the Clinton era, Obama said, “For all the talk out there about deficit reduction, making sure our books are balanced, this is the guy who did it — three times.”

Lew served as Obama’s budget director before com-ing over to the White House early last year to calm one in a series of transition pe-riods in the West Wing. Lew, a longtime Washington aide known for his low profile, is Obama’s fourth chief of staff.

“One reason Jack has been so effective in this town is because he is a low-key guy who prefers to sur-

round himself with policy experts rather than televi-sion cameras,” Obama said. “And over the years, he’s built a reputation as a mas-ter of policy who can work with members of both par-ties and forge principled compromises.”

The president made only a passing reference to Lew’s other relevant item on his resume — his three-year tenure as an executive at Citigroup Inc. The rela-tively thin experience with Wall Street and markets has left some guessing as to how he might handle Treasury’s increased regulatory role or negotiations over continued economic uncertainty in Europe.

But Obama’s remarks

made clear that Lew’s top challenge is one closer to home. A year-end budget deal with congressional Re-publicans set up a series of future fights over taxing and spending, debts and deficits, and Treasury will be closely engaged in the negotiations.

Obama said he was confi-dent Lew shared his priori-ties — and a commitment to protect the social programs Obama has resisted over-hauling.

Describing Lew, who is an orthodox Jew, Obama said, “Most importantly, as the son of a Polish immigrant, a man of deep and devout faith, Jack knows that ev-ery number on a page, ev-ery dollar we budget, every decision we make has to be

an expression of who we wish to be as a nation, our values.”

As the face of Obama’s fis-cal priorities, Lew has crit-ics. As Obama announced his choice, a handful of Re-publicans on Capitol Hill argued the president was signaling that a big compro-mise on entitlement spend-ing and deficit reduction would remain elusive.

“As the country struggles with a painfully slow eco-nomic recovery, Washing-ton needs leaders who are willing to support reforms that will put us on a sus-tainable fiscal path,” said Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah. “It virtually guarantees the president will not compro-mise on entitlement re-form, and assures that the White House will fight to maintain the status quo of our deeply dysfunctional system.”

House Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas, said the change at Treasury “won’t improve our econo-my or save our nation from impending bankruptcy.”

Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., ranking Republican on the Senate Budget Committee, said he would oppose Lew’s nomination.

“We need a secretary of Treasury that the American people, the Congress and the world will know is up to the task of getting America on the path to prosperity, not the path to decline. Jack Lew is not that man,” Ses-sions said.

Still, Lew is considered a far less controversial pick than Obama’s other recent nominees for top posts-former Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., or Homeland Secu-

rity adviser John Brennan. And he’s not likely to raise the ire of liberals who bris-tled at Obama’s selection four years ago of Timothy Geithner, then president of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, for the Trea-sury job.

At the announcement, Obama praised Geithner’s work and ethos — captured in the motto “no peacocks, no jerks, no whiners,” Obama said.

The president credited Geithner with helping to re-store stability in the finan-cial markets after the 2008 crisis. “So when the his-tory books are written, Tim Geithner is going to go down as one of our finest secretar-ies of the Treasury,” Obama said.

The president did admit to one reservation about his personnel decision. Lew’s many-looped signature, which would grace the cur-rency if he’s confirmed, gave him pause, he joked.

Opinion

Vice President Joe Biden will make his recommenda-tions for stricter federal gun laws to President Obama next week. Thursday he said his conversations with advocacy groups had already discovered a broad and strong consensus favoring a ban on high-capaci-ty ammunition magazines and universal background checks on gun purchasers, including those involved in private sales.

Biden told a Washington Post reporter “ . . . I want to make clear that we’re not go-ing to get caught up in the no-tion that, unless we can do everything, we’re going to do nothing.”

With this warning given, the nation can expect modest first steps toward effective gun con-trols despite the horror of the New-town, Conn., massacre of 20 children and six of their teach-ers.

But each j o u r n e y starts with a single step. By all means, let’s get on with banning the manufacture, ownership and sale of high-capacity ammu-nition magazines. Let us also set up a buy-back program for them.

Background checks of gun buyers should include finger-printing and other scientific ways to establish a permanent record of the individual buy-er tied to the serial numbers of the weapons purchased. A statement of why the weapon was purchased should be taken and limits set on the number of weapons an individual can buy in any month. The goal should be to prevent back-alley sales to those who can’t qualify for purchasing from a legitimate dealer.

As could have been predict-ed, the National Rifle Asso-ciation has branded the Biden studies “preparations for an assault on the Second Amend-ment” and said it would have nothing to do with the effort to write new laws aimed at reduc-ing gun deaths.

The Second Amendment gives citizens the right to own guns. It does not prevent gov-ernment from controlling the sale of deadly weapons.

HERE IN KANSAS at least one more school district has followed NRA logic by deciding to let its security officers carry guns. The Emporia school district’s board of education voted Wednesday to allow its guards to carry guns starting Feb. 1. The guards would have to meet new job requirements, including law enforcement ex-perience and training. Two of the three guards are retired po-lice officers who already meet those requirements.

Kathy Toelkes, spokeswom-an for the Kansas Department of Education, told the Associ-ated Press that 151 security of-ficers and 42 resource officers are hired in the 286 school dis-tricts in the state. That doesn’t include school resource offi-

cers who are active po-lice officers working at the schools under co-o p e r a t i v e agreements, she said.

Wichita’s school dis-trict, for ex-ample, for years has

had an agreement with local police for armed resource of-ficers in addition to its own district-employed, unarmed, security officers.

State educators say that most small districts, such as those in Allen County, don’t hire security guards because they don’t feel they can afford them. With tight budgets, they would rather have a teacher in the classroom, one remarked.

WHAT KANSAS schools say to a neutral observer is that some schools, such as those in Emporia and Wichita, are dangerous places while others, like those in Moran, Humboldt and Iola, are safe.

Not really. What the history of all

schools in this wonderful coun-try of ours shows us is that shootings in schools are ex-tremely rare. Has there ever been one in Kansas? What school board members in Em-poria should ask themselves is what life lesson they are teach-ing their children by placing armed guards in the hallways. That they should pack heat to cope?

— Emerson Lynn, jr.

Inching towardgun controls

I own several guns, including a couple of high-powered rifles and a revolver. I’ve enjoyed hunting all of my life, and in younger days did my share of plunking with a .22.

Taken in full measure, I’m probably pretty indicative of the average American gun owner, a person who enjoys hunting or tar-get shooting and has a few guns tucked away at home.

I don’t think my Second Amend-ment rights would be infringed upon by banning weapons meant mainly to kill people or by requir-ing gun registration and more thorough background checks for buyers. Gun ownership should come with responsibility firmly attached.

It would never occur to me to buy an assault-type rifle, much less load it up with a high-ca-pacity magazine. At .223 caliber, which most assault weapons ap-parently are, they are illegal for

hunting deer in Kansas, and I sus-pect most other states.

Assault weapons are as the name implies: To provide sup-pressive fire to kill people in a military setting. To my way of thinking, there is no compelling reason for such weapons, particu-larly those fed by the high-capac-ity magazines, to be available to the general public.

I don’t think we’ll be faced with having to protect ourselves and our families, as some radical survivalists maintain, because of civil strife and I put even less stock in having to fend off an op-pressive government. After all, in

a democracy, we are the govern-ment.

I do think stricter laws and regulations would decrease the number of senseless killings in our nation, such as the 20 helpless little children in Newtown, Conn. And the fear that putting more controls on firearms would lead to an end of private ownership of firearms is just plain hooey.

Also, there is the human side.A few years ago, I had a dick-

ens of a time bearing down on a buck scampering through nearby brush. His sudden appearance unnerved me to the point that I was shaking.

Think what the reaction would have been if it were a human be-ing, even one who was threaten-ing. No matter the circumstance, it would be difficult for me — for any law-abiding, “good” person — to purposely shoot another per-son.

It just isn’t in our nature.

Gun ownership carries responsibilityAt

Week’s EndBob Johnson

The Second Amendment gives citizens the right to own guns. It does not pre-vent government from con-trolling the sale of deadly weapons

A recent study showed that people don’t anticipate they will change much over their lives.

That sentiment goes against the fact we all change signifi-cantly over time. Look back over the decades and see how your own tastes and priorities have changed. Still like that tattoo?

Most people’s life road maps include detours — some good, some bad. The secret to keeping on track is being able to adapt to change.

Which brings me to Jackie Witherspoon, who recently sold her successful magazine, SEK Living, to Kimber Wallace.

At 62, Witherspoon has worked as a newspaper reporter, newspa-per publisher, public relations ex-ecutive, magazine publisher and, most recently, children’s book au-thor.

I first met Jackie when she worked as a reporter for the Iola Register back in the 1970s. She was a graduate of K-State’s journalism program. I was still in college, and looked up to her. She was smart, pretty, and a good

writer. I didn’t picture myself in Iola — but it’s probably fair to say she didn’t either.

As the years passed, Jackie climbed the career ladder. From 1980 to 1995, she was publisher of the Humboldt Union. From there she worked six years at Tri-Valley Developmental Services in public relations.

At age 40 she went back to school to receive a master’s de-gree in magazine design from the University of Kansas.

In 2002, she began SEK Liv-ing, the culmination of her love of community across the region through writing and photogra-phy.

In retrospect, Jackie said her career path came from her love of challenge and “trying new things in life.”

“I don’t think I’ve reinvented myself with different jobs. One just naturally led to another out-let for exploration. I’ve been for-tunate to be able to take what I like about particular jobs in new directions. As a newspaper re-porter, it was the feature stories

that I most enjoyed writing, so that fit perfectly with the maga-zine.”

Jackie’s most recent endeavor was the publication of a children’s book, “Sparky’s Adventures in Southeast Kansas,” which is the story of an adventuresome dog.

“It’s a ball writing fiction,” she said. “And great not to have to check facts!”

Oh my. Could she have envi-sioned herself saying that 40 years ago?

THINGS CHANGE.Jackie and her husband, Gary,

have sold their big house in Hum-boldt. “We didn’t need all that space.”

Priorities change. “We’re taking more time for

what is truly important,” includ-ing traveling to be with children, grandchildren, and Jackie’s 94-year-old mother, who remains in western Kansas.

We change.“I’m looking forward to the

next chapter in life,” Jackie said.Jackie’s ahead of the curve.

eyes. “Attorneys have an eas-

ier time,” Williams said. “I think defense attorneys like it too because they can tell their client if they think they have a good case or if they don’t have a chance at winning the case.”

Williams said a lot of the behind-the-scenes costs are cut down.

Each year, with the ex-ception of Williams’ first year, department spending at year’s end has been un-der budget.

“Remember though the first year’s budget was not my budget, it was the previ-ous administration’s bud-get,” Williams said. “We are right in the ball park in counties our size. We are a professional department

and if you want a profes-sional department you have to pay for a professional de-partment.”

Building and running the jail was another of Wil-liam’s proud accomplish-ments.

The jail was completed in October of 2004.

“I am going to knock on wood but the worst thing that can happen in a jail is a death or an escape and I haven’t had either,” he said.

Williams’ administra-tion has maintained a safe environment in the jail, while also keeping medical and food services local.

“The people at The Fam-ily Physicians and Iola Pharmacy sat me down and came up with a better way (to provide inmates with medical services),” he said. “It cost me more to have

someone come down from Wichita to see the inmates than it is for me to have someone come from here in Iola. It has saved us a lot of money.”

Williams said taking in-mates to the doctor’s office is not safe so instead they have Laurel Louderbaugh, a nurse practitioner with Family Physicians, come to the jail.

Citizens have criticized the Williams’ administra-tion’s treatment of inmates.

“People need to remem-ber that those people back there are our community’s sons and daughters,” Wil-liams said. “They haven’t been convicted of anything, they have been charged, but not convicted.

“The same people who criticize the budget are the same people that think we

should be serving inmates bread and water.”

SOME of the other ac-tions started under the William’s administration were the Child Advocacy Center, sex offender’s regis-try, which is paid for by the offenders, the Reverse 911 system, implementing Roy Smith as security at the courthouse and drug court.

“These weren’t all my ideas, I just got lucky and got the credit,” Williams said. “I have great faith in the next administration, they will probably be even better.”

Williams’ wife Margo will also look forward to having her husband home and safe.

“I won’t have to worry about him anymore,” she said.

Schools in Iola and Hum-boldt have DARE programs through local police depart-ments.

“I also want to push ef-forts to curb narcotics in the county,” Murphy said. “We work on narcotics all the time, but they’re still there and are an issue that we need to pay attention to every day.

“Drugs are the baseline for a lot of other crimes,” he continued, such as burglar-ies and thefts that provide perpetrators with money to buy drugs.

Murphy said he also views good community re-lations as paramount.

“Having good relations with the people we serve is so important and can be very helpful when we’re trying to solve a crime,” he said. “Tom established good rapport with people throughout the county, which prompted all of us who work in the depart-ment to have that as a high priority.”

Murphy stressed that he and his officers would take time to visit with people and listen to their concerns.

“That’s what we’re here for, to help everyone living in Allen County,” he said.

THE DEPARTMENT has nine officers, including Murphy and Undersheriff Jerry Daniels.

Daniels, a veteran officer with service in Humboldt and with the Kansas High-way Patrol, will share some of Murphy’s administra-tive chores. Both will spend time with patrol duties and answer calls.

Three other officers are

master deputies, and have specific roles in addition to normal law enforcement duties.

Roy Smith deals with re-viewing daily reports and provides courtroom securi-ty. He also is involved with the judiciary in establish-ing a drug court that will permit some drug violators to be supervised rather than incarcerated.

Daren Kellerman is in charge of reviewing and cataloging videos taken by officers, with vehicle cam-eras or those they have at-tached to themselves. He also has a role in officer training.

Tim Beckham is the de-partment’s firearms officer, looks after evidence and, Murphy stressed, is partic-ularly good in dealing with child victims.

By ERICA WERNER and JULIE PACE

Associated PressWASHINGTON (AP) —

Looking for broader rem-edies to gun violence, Vice President Joe Biden ex-pressed interest Friday in ex-isting technology that would keep a gun from being fired by anyone other than the purchaser. He said evidence shows such technology may have affected events in Con-necticut last month when 20 youngsters and six teachers were gunned down inside their elementary school.

“Had the young man not had access to his mother’s arsenal, he may or may not have been able to get a gun,” said Biden, speaking of the gunman, 20-year-old Adam Lanza, who used weapons purchased by his mother to carry out the attack.

Biden said the technology exists but is expensive.

The vice president spoke during a portion of a meet-ing with video game indus-try representatives that was open to media coverage. It was the latest in a series of meetings he’s held with in-terested parties on both sides of the issue as he finalizes the administration’s response to the Connecticut shooting.

Biden said he hopes to send recommendations to President Barack Obama by Tuesday.

Friday’s meeting came a day after a similar meeting with the powerful National Rifle Association, which rejected Obama adminis-tration proposals to limit high-capacity ammunition magazines and dug in on its opposition to a ban on assault weapons, which Obama has said he will pro-pose to Congress. The NRA was one of several pro-gun rights groups whose repre-sentatives met with Biden during the day.

NRA President David Keene, asked Friday if his

group has enough support in Congress to fend off legisla-tion to ban sales of assault weapons, indicated it does. “I do not think that there’s going to be a ban on so-called assault weapons passed by the Congress,” he said on NBC’s “Today.”

In previewing the meet-ing with the video game in-dustry, Biden recalled how the late Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan of New York la-mented during crime bill ne-gotiations in the 1980s that the country was “defining deviancy down.”

It’s unclear what, if any-thing, the administration is

prepared to recommend on how to address the depiction of violence in the media.

White House press secre-tary Jay Carney last month suggested that not all mea-sures require government intervention.

“It is certainly the case that we in Washington have the potential, anyway, to help elevate issues that are of concern, elevate issues that contribute to the scourge of gun violence in this country, and that has been the case in the past, and it certainly could be in the future,” Car-ney said then.

In a statement, a half-doz-en entertainment groups, in-cluding the Motion Picture Association of America, said they “look forward to doing our part to seek mean-ingful solutions.”

Biden voices interest in new gun technology

Had the young man not had ac-cess to his moth-er’s arsenal, he may or may not have been able to get a gun.

By RICHARD [email protected] — Iola’s wres-

The Mustangs, already with-out two seniors who were in-jured in matches last week in Fort Scott, wound up without

the services of sophomore Trey Colborn Thursday because of a back injury.

His replacement, junior Dacoda Hunt, injured his knee in his 285-pound match against Chanute’s William Divine, who

PLEASANTON — With the 2012-13 season less than a week old, Humboldt High’s and Crest High’s boys delivered one of the more entertaining games of the year, with Humboldt prevailing 43-40 on Dec. 6.

Both teams responded well from the early-season thriller. Humboldt has remained unde-feated since then, as have the Lancers.

If the chips fall properly next week, the squads may be in tune for a rematch.

Humboldt (9-0) holds the top seed while Crest (6-1) is seeded second in the Pleasanton Blu-Jays Midseason Tournament, which tips off Tuesday.

A second-quarter outburst gave Iola High’s boys just the kick they needed Friday evening.

The Mustangs erupted for 24 points in the quarter, turning a 13-8 deficit into a 32-25 halftime lead.

Iola never looked back from there, gradually pulling away from visiting Prairie View down the stretch in a 56-45 win.

The victory lifts Iola above .500 for the first time in the 2012-13 season at 5-4. The Mustangs also keep their Pioneer League mark perfect at 3-0.

Head Coach Bill Peeper was most impressed with Iola’s “work-manlike” effort in a game which neither team could put together extended scoring runs.

“This was one of those ‘grind it out’ wins,” Peeper said. “We had a little trouble getting started of-fensively, but once we got settled into a good rhythm in the second quarter, everybody stepped up.”

A second-half cold spell kept Iola High’s girls out of the victory column Friday.

The Fillies were limited to six points after intermission by visit-ing Prairie View and its stifling pressure defense.

Iola’s defense was solid as well, but the Buffalos were able to turn turnovers into transition points in a 32-20 win.

The loss drops Iola to 0-3 in Pioneer League play and winless during the 2012-13 season.

“We’re getting there,” Fillies coach Becky Carlson said. “We just need to stay focused and be consistent.”

Things were looking rosy at the start for Iola, who zipped to a 7-2 lead courtesy of a 3-pointer and two free throws by Jo Lohman.

Prairie View responded with a 6-0 run before Mikaela Platt scored late in the first quarter to give the Fillies a 9-8 lead.

Prairie View jumped back on top 12-9 before Endicott tied the proceedings midway through the second quarter with a 3-pointer. The Buffalos responded with an-other 6-0 run before Reagan Ford drained a bucket for the Fillies late in the half to pull Iola within 18-14.

Endicott opened the second half with another bucket, closing

CHANUTE — Iola Mid-dle School’s seventh- and eighth-grade A teams picked up road victories Thursday.

The eighth-grade A team thumped host Royster Mid-dle School 37-28.

Braden Plumlee and Chase Regehr led the way for the Ponies, who led 7-3 after one quarter and 14-11 at the break. Iola sealed the win with a 16-2 run during the third quarter.

“Braden kept us in it early on,” IMS coach Marty Taylor said.

“We didn’t come out ready to play and Chanute really played well in the first half. Chase was really good and our guards hit some big shots.”

Plumlee had 15 points and seven rebounds, while Regehr had a double-dou-ble with 11 points and 11 boards. Ben Cooper added six, Joey Zimmerman three and Zane Beasley two.

The win lifts the eighth-graders’ record to 3-2.

The Iola seventh-grade A team held off Royster in a 22-18 win, leading 14-6 at halftime and 22-14 after three quarters. Royster out-scored Iola 4-0 in the fourth quarter.

“We played more as a team tonight,” Taylor said. “We missed some easy shots late in the game, but overall it was a good effort. Evan Sigg did a great job for us defensively inside.”

Ethan Holloway had nine

points and six rebounds, followed by Matt Komma with eight points and sev-en rebounds. Sigg had 12 rebounds and four points. Isaac Vink scored a point as well.

The win keeps the sev-enth-grade squad unbeaten at 5-0.

In B team action, Iola’s eighth-graders downed Royster 33-14. Darius Greenawalt led the way with 10 points, followed by Zane Beasley and Rhett Al-

len with six points each, Colton Toney with five, Gage Cleaver with four and Mason Ingle with one.

“Coach (Cody) Hager is doing a great job with these kids,” Taylor said. “They play hard and share the basketball.”

The seventh-grade B team fell 23-7. Dalton Ry-herd scored four points and Bryce Andres three for the Ponies.

Iola resumes action Thursday at Parsons.

WESTPHALIA — Mar-maton Valley Junior High’s boys and girls basketball teams wrapped up their seasons Thursday in West-phalia.

The boys A team fell 52-38, while the B team pre-vailed 19-14.

The girls A team fell 27-22, while the B team came out on top 10-7 in two quarters.

The boys eighth-grade A team was led by Justice Pugh’s 15 points in the loss. Brock Hall scored six, Rob-ert Muse five, Korbin Smith

four, Tony Jefferis and Trevor Wilson with three apiece and Ethan Tavarez with two.

Tristan Fraker scored nine points to pace the B team in the win. Noah Foster added four. Smith, Brock Hall and Robert Muse scored two each.

“Both teams played prob-ably their best games of the year tonight, and really left it all out on the court,” Wildcat coach Scott Brady said. “And being that it was our last game, it was really rewarding to see as a coach.

We moved the ball well and got it up the court for some easy layups in both games. I saw some areas where the boys improved this year. Hopefully, they can use those skills next year.”

THE WILDCAT girls A team trailed 10-3 after one period, 12-5 at halftime and 24-14 after three quarters before mounting a furious comeback. The Wildcats outscored Westphalia 8-3 in the final frame, falling five points shy.

Kyla Drake led the way

with 12 points, followed by Brooklynn Newman and Nalea Alexander with four apiece and Misty Storrer with two.

“This was a very physical game,” girls coach Kim Ens-minger said. “These girls did all they could, but just couldn’t come out on top. We had a great stretch of baskets by Kyla. The girls played well. It was a very intense game all night long.”

Megan Ensminger’s free throw late in the girls B team contest tied the score at 7-7. She later scored on an

assist from Shayla Brooks to put the Wildcats on top by two. Brooks sealed the win later with a free throw.

Ensminger, Shayla Brooks and Trinitee Guti-errez had three points apiece. Makayla Brooks added a point.

“Our season ended on a good note,” Ensminger said.

The A team ended the season with a 4-10 mark. The B team wound up with a 6-8 mark, losing four games by a single point and another by two points.

Cops For JocksIola High juniors Tyler Powelson, front from left, and Hannah Endicott were chosen through the Iola Police Department-sponsored “Cops for Jocks” program as their respective team MVPs for their performances in home basketball games against Osawatomie Jan. 4. Powelson had 12 points, 10 rebounds and two blocks for the Mustangs. Endicott had eight points and three rebounds in the Fillies game. Cops for Jocks is a program between the IPD and the IHS Mustangs and Fillies basketball teams to recognize outstanding play in each of the Iola home games. Powelson and Endicott are shown here with Iola Police Chief Jared Warner, left, and Community Resource Officer Mike Ford.

tured a balanced scoring attack, with four players scoring between 10 and 14 points.

“If we can continue to do that, we’ll be a lot tougher for other teams to deal with,” Peeper said. “I like that it’s not the exact same people stepping up each night.”

Iola took the lead for the first time when Ma-son Coons erupted for six straight points, courtesy of a trey followed by a tra-ditional 3-point play at the 3:38 mark.

As it turns out, Prairie View would not lead again.

Ashmore capped the first half with eight points on a layup and 6-for-6 free throw shooting.

Prairie View opened the second half with a pair of Shay Spears baskets, cut-ting Iola’s lead to 32-29, be-fore Iola responded with a Tyler Powelson basket, an Ashmore 3-pointer and two Adam Kauth free throws.

Kauth’s charities with 2 minutes left in the third period pushed Iola’s lead to double digits for the first time at 42-31. The advan-tage never shrank below eight down the stretch.

“It was one of those games where we got the lead, but they just kept hanging around,” Peeper said.

Even amid the team’s equitable scoring attack, a handful of individual per-

formances stand out.Junior forward Tyler

Powelson delivered 10 points, 10 rebounds, four steals, three assists and two blocks.

“Tyler played an incred-ible game for us,” Peeper said. “I thought he did a nice job defending their big guys. He really made things happen offensively and de-fensively.”

Meanwhile, Ashmore went 9 of 10 from the free throw line as part of his team-high 14 points to go with four steals and four as-sists.

Coons scored 10 of his 11 points before halftime, while Kauth delivered 13 points.

Trent Latta went 5 of 6 from the line, including 4 of 4 in fourth quarter to go with three steals. Tyler McIntosh pulled in four re-bounds. Eli Grover added a block.

Iola hit 22 of 30 free throws in the game.

Phelps wound up with 15 points to lead Prairie View. Zach Craig scored nine.

The game had a little extra flair, courtesy of the IHS pep band and its spe-cial guest performers from Wichita State University.

The band regaled the crowd with a number of recognizable rock songs and TV theme show tunes.

One highlight was when they played the “Jeopardy” theme whenever the offi-cials would gather to hud-

dle.“The pep band always

does a great job for us,” Peeper said. “Having the guest performers made it even more special.”

The game also featured a “silent night” cheer in which Iola’s raucous stu-dent section stayed stone silent for much of the early going until Coons scored midway through the first quarter on a layup.

The basket pushed Iola’s point total past 5, the trig-ger for the crowd to erupt in an eardrum-splitting cheer and standing ovation.

Prairie View won the ju-nior varsity contest 57-35. Shane Walden led Iola’s JV with 12 points. Fryendz Wallace scored seven, Alex Bauer four, Bryan Muel-ler four, Matt Jacobs and Adam Peterson three each and Travis Hermstein one.

Iola’s C team fell 43-33. Jacobs scored nine and Gus Hopkins eight.

Iola heads to Burlington Tuesday to begin midsea-son tournament action. The Mustangs will face Sabetha at 5:05 p.m.

COLONY — A strong defensive effort, coupled with an obvious dominance from outside, gave the Crest High Lancers the edge they needed to give the Altoona-Midway Jets a downright beating.

“If we play with the ef-fort, attitude and resolve that we played with to-night, I’ll take anything that comes our way,” Head Coach Travis Hermreck said of his team’s effort.

He seemed to be in high spirits, and rightfully so — the Lancers came out on top 74-28 on one of their strongest showings in the 2012-13 season.

The tone was set from the start.

Kyle Hammond came out with two back-to-back 3-pointers, and that proved to be just the beginning. He had nine 3-pointers in the contest.

“He could have had two or three more,” Hermreck said. “There were a couple that spun around the rim and fell out.”

The Lancers came out with a 10-0 run to start, forc-ing the Jets to take a time-out with 4:34 remaining in the first quarter.

The Jets’ Lane Huffman stopped the onslaught by hitting a 3-pointer. Crest’s Brock Ellis hit a couple more from inside. The quarter ended with Crest on top 14-6

That was the last Al-toona-Midway would see of a single-digit deficit.

The Lancers hit six 3-pointers, four of which came from Hammond, in

the second period — con-tributing to a 10-0 Lancer run midway through the quarter. The halftime buzz-er ended with a Lancer lead of 41-14.

“I was pleased more with our defense than anything, you can’t complain about the offense, but we played outstanding,” Hermreck said.

Hermreck pointed out that his team showed poise and class in the contest, conducting themselves “ex-actly how they should have conducted themselves.”

“We obviously shot the ball well, we have a very unselfish team,” he said. “We sometimes turn down good shots just to get good shots to the other guys on the team.”

Hammond dominated from outside with a whop-ping 38 points. Brock Ellis followed with 12 points. Jor-dan Morton had 10 points. Huffman led the Jets in scoring with 12 points, fol-lowed by Cody Boles with four.

The win brings Crest’s record to 6-1 for the season. They are a perfect 3-0 in Three Rivers League. Crest will travel to Pleasanton Tuesday where they face the host team for their mid-season tournament.

COLONY — The Crest High Lady Lancers showed up on the court with a new-found confidence Friday night, which resulted in a 48-14 trouncing of the Al-toona-Midway High Lady Jets.

The full-court press from the Lancers put the heat on early for the Jets, and it didn’t take long for the home team to get into a rhythm. Madison Kel-lar and Brytton Strickler started off with two baskets inside. Crest went on an 8-0 run before the Jets’ Ashley Caylor ended it with a long 2-pointer.

The second quarter start-ed with Crest on top 16-4. The Jets showed some poise for the start of the quarter, but that was short-lived. From there, the quarter belonged to Lancer center Kurston Gilliland. Except for one free throw from Kel-lar, Gilliland had all of the field goals for the Lancers in the second. Crest led 27-10 at the break.

“It was really awesome,” Head Coach Ben Vaughn said, “It was the first time

we played the whole game as a team.”

The second half tended to be a routine for the Lanc-ers, drop the ball inside, rinse, repeat. Madison Cov-ey and Brooklyn Lacross both had key shots for Crest as well, along with Strick-ler. The third quarter score was 42-14.

Gilliland led with 24 points, followed by Covey with six and Sherman and LaCross with four each. Ashley Caylor led the scor-

ing for the Jets with four points.

The Lady Lancers will play in Pleasanton for their mid-season tournament next week.

HUMBOLDT — An overall “unselfish-ness” proved to work well for the Humboldt High Cubs in their win over the Cher-ryvale High Chargers Friday night.

“We shared the ball well tonight and got some good open looks,” Humboldt coach David Taylor said.

Humboldt led 44-16 in the first half.

“Of course (Noah) Thornbrugh had a great game, another double-double,” he said.

Thornbrugh had 20 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks in the contest — statis-tics that are becoming routine at this point.

The win didn’t come on the back of Thornbrugh alone. Tanner McNutt con-tributed 11 points and Hunter Murrow, Na-than Whitcomb and Trey Johnson each had eight points.

“Trey ends up do-ing a lot of the dirty work on the court, I was glad to see him get some points,” Taylor said. “Hunter Murrow is consis-tent, I can always count on him.”

The win keeps the Cubs record spotless at 9-0.

Humboldt’s JV squads doubled-up on victories against Cherryvale Friday night.

The Cubs’ B team won 57-22 over the chargers, Markiz Pul-liam led the victory with 14 points. The C team won as well, 54-29. Corey Whitcomb led the scoring with 12 points.Cherryvale (8-8-13-5—34)Humboldt (22-22-19-5—68)

By BABA AHMED and SYLVIE CORBERTAssociated Press

BAMAKO, Mali (AP) — France launched a military operation Friday to help the government of Mali defeat al-Qaida-linked militants who cap-tured more ground this week, dramatically rais-ing the stakes in the battle for this vast desert nation.

French President Fran-cois Hollande said his country acted because the “terrorists are a threat to France, to Europe and the world.” He vowed that the operation in Mali would last “as long as necessary.”

France said it was tak-ing the action in Mali at the request of President Dioncounda Traore, who declared a state of emer-gency because of the mili-tants’ advance.

The arrival of the French troops in their former colony came a day after the Islamists moved the closest yet toward ter-ritory still under govern-ment control and fought the Malian military for the first time in months, seizing the strategic city of Konna.

For the past nine months, the Islamic mili-tants have controlled a large swath of northern Mali, a lawless desert re-gion where kidnapping has flourished.

“French armed forces supported Malian units this afternoon to fight against terrorist ele-ments,” Hollande said in Paris.

He did not give any de-tails of the operation, oth-er than to say that it was aimed in part at protect-ing the 6,000 French citi-zens in Mali, where seven of them already are being held captive.

Residents in central Mali said they had seen Western military person-nel arriving in the area, with planes landing at a nearby airport through-out the night.

Col. Abdrahmane Baby, a military operations ad-viser for the foreign af-fairs ministry, confirmed in the Malian capital of Bamako that French forc-es had arrived in the coun-try but gave no details.

“They are here to assist the Malian army,” he told reporters.

Traore went on national television Friday night to declare the state of emer-gency, saying it would re-main in effect for 10 days and could be renewed.

He called on mining companies and nongov-

ernment organizations to turn their trucks over to Malian military, rais-ing questions about the army’s ability.

France has led a diplo-matic push for interna-tional action in northern Mali but efforts to get an African-led force together, or to train the weak Mali-an army, have dragged.

The French quickly mo-bilized after the Islamists seized the city of Konna on Thursday, pushing closer to the army’s major base in central Mali.

The United Nations Se-curity Council has con-demned the capture of Konna and urged U.N. member states to assist Mali “in order to reduce the threat posed by terror-ist organizations and as-sociated groups.”

Late last year, the 15 na-tions in West Africa, in-cluding Mali, agreed on a proposal for the military to take back the north, and sought backing from the U.N.

The Security Council authorized the interven-tion but imposed certain conditions. Those include the training of Mali’s military, which has been accused of serious human rights abuses since a mili-tary coup last year sent the nation into disarray.

The fighting Wednesday and Thursday for Konna represents the first clash-es between Malian gov-ernment forces and the Islamists in nearly a year, since the militants seized the northern cities of Gao, Kidal and Timbuktu.

The Islamists seized the town of Douentza four months ago after brief standoff with a lo-cal militia, but pushed no farther until clashes broke out late Wednesday in Konna, a city of 50,000 people, where fearful residents cowered inside their homes. Konna is just 45 miles (70 kilometers) north of the government-held town of Mopti, a stra-tegic port city along the Niger River.

French forces take action against Mali Islamists

Terrorists are a threat to France, to Europe and the world. (Op-eration in Mali would last) as long as neces-sary.

— French President, Francois Hollande

One-star puzzles are for begin-ners, and the difficulty gradually increases through the week to a very chal-lenging five-star puzzle.

Dear Dr. Roach: I have had several blows to my head. I read somewhere that this could cause dementia. I am 72 years old and am concerned. Should I be? — Anon.

Answer: I think what you may have read are studies showing that football play-ers, who constantly receive very hard blows to the head — which isn’t completely protected by a helmet — have a high risk of developing changes to the brain, called C.T.E., chronic traumatic en-cephalopathy. The same dis-

ease is found in boxers and hockey players.

While it’s unclear how much damage is necessary to cause this, I doubt that a few blows to the head should give you cause for concern.

I am concerned, however, about a subdural hematoma (”subdural” means “below the dura,” the thick protec-tive covering of the brain; “hematoma” just means “bruise”). These can come from a single, not necessar-ily powerful, blow in just the right spot in a person in his 70s. It may quickly cause a condition that looks like dementia. If you have had a rapid change in memory abil-ity or sudden onset of confu-sion, it’s not likely dementia, and should be checked out by

your doctor or a neurologist.Dear Dr. Roach: Is there

any truth in all the adver-tisements for penile enlarge-ment that I see in just about all magazines? These formu-las say “100 percent safe and natural with guaranteed re-sults.” — R.S.

Answer: No, not a shred of truth. At best, they are harmless placebo and at worst, dangerous. However, somebody must be buying them, since I get what seems hundreds of emails about it. Don’t waste your money.

Can blow to the head cause dementia?

Dear Tom and Ray: I am thinking of buying a new car, and I need to know if a four-cylinder or six-cyl-inder engine would be the wisest choice. I live on a hilltop, 2,400 feet above the valley, and the road to my home is about five miles up the long, steep hill. I have always driven a car with six or more cylinders, and I fear that a four-cylinder would not last long climb-ing the hill each day. What do you advise? — Mary

Tom: There’s not an ab-solute answer to this, Mary. It would be like asking you if my brother should buy a shirt in XXL or XXXL. You’d be hard pressed to give him a good answer without seeing the specific shirt and the size of my brother’s spare tire.

Ray: It was a 195/65 R16 as of yesterday.

Tom: In general, engines are getting smaller and more powerful. So lots of people who used to buy V-8s are now buying sixes. And people who bought sixes are buying fours. And soon, people who’ve always bought fours will be buying three-cylinder engines!

Ray: And because of ad-vanced technologies, like direct injection and turbo charging, people aren’t giving up any power when they’re moving down in size and weight.

Tom: So there’s no gen-eral rule anymore. There are underpowered sixes and overpowered fours. What you get depends on the technologies in the en-gine and the car the engine is paired with.

Ray: Sometimes the manufacturer will lay out a choice of engines for you. Pickup trucks are a great example of that. Some peo-ple use their pickup trucks as suburban commuter ve-hicles. So a six-cylinder en-gine may be all they need. Others may haul heavy equipment with their pick-up, and they need the addi-tional towing capacity of a V-8.

Tom: But we’ve also seen cases where a manufacturer will offer a lower-powered, older-technology “base” engine just to be able to ad-vertise a low starting price. In that case, almost no one wants the base engine.

Ray: And then there are cases in which the base en-gine is really all anybody needs. The manufacturer just offers a more powerful engine to satisfy the egos of folks who want to overdo it and pay more. The Honda Accord comes to mind, with its great 185-horsepower four-cylinder engine, and its unnecessary 278-hp six.

Tom: In general, you’ll pay more not only to buy a six-cylinder engine, but

also to repair and maintain it over the life of the car.

Ray: We just test-drove the brand-new Ford Escape. It’s a small SUV that used to come with four- and six-cyl-inder engine options. Inter-estingly, it has three differ-ent engine options now, but they’re ALL four-cylinder engines. We drove the mid-dle one; a turbocharged, 1.6-liter four, which is tiny by SUV standards. But we were surprised to find that it had as much power as anyone might need in nor-

mal driving.Tom: So I wouldn’t neces-

sarily recommend a six-cyl-inder for you, Mary. What I would recommend is that you avoid something whose reviews use the word “un-derpowered” a lot (unless those reviews are in enthu-siast magazines like Car and Driver, which consider everything underpowered).

Ray: Once you narrow down your car choices, feel free to write back to us, and we’ll give you any spe-cific thoughts we have on those particular car-engine combinations. But don’t be afraid of modern four-cylinder engines as a class. There are more of them than ever that provide plen-ty of power.

wound up pinning Hunt 30 seconds into the third pe-riod.

The defeat capped a 0-7 performance in contested matches for the Mustangs against the powerful Cha-nute squad.

Earlier in the night, Iola was edged 36-33 by host La-bette County, although the score was a bit misleading, coach Brad Carson point-ed out, because Iola won three of the four contested matches.

Schools earn team points if they can offer up a wres-tler in specific weight class-es if their opponents can-not.

Iola did not have wres-tlers in the bottom five weight classes Thursday.

“As far as I’m concerned, we won the dual against La-bette,” Carson said. “I saw some good things, and the kids continued to give 100 percent.”

In the most hotly con-tested match of the night against Chanute, Iola’s Bryce Misenhelter lost 4-2 to Josh Smeed of Chanute in a 182-pound match.

Misenhelter got a second-period point by escaping Smeed’s grasp, but could get no closer in the third period.

“Once again, Bryce just battled his heart out to-night,” Carson said. “That’s all we ask is for the guys to give a full six minutes and never quit.”

Chase Roettgen (195 pounds) lost a 3-1 decision to Chanute’s Cody Howell. He trailed 3-0 after two periods, then got an escape to earn a point midway through the final period. He was unable to get the upper hand, how-ever, before time ran out.

Cody Conner lost by a pin to Chanute’s Jared Fiscus, one of the top 145-pound wrestlers in the state at 1:41.

Brice Aiello lost by pin at 2:49 to Chanute’s Jodie Murphy at 152 pounds. Tra-vis Rieske lost to Chanute’s Ethin Van Anne via pin at 1:30. Likewise, Andrew Gar-ber lost by pin to Chanute’s Alex Son at 170 pounds in 56 seconds.

Hunt hurt his knee late in the second period against Divine, then con-tinued wrestling until be-ing pinned 32 seconds into round three.

The match was the first of the year for Hunt, who earned a victory against Labette County because the Grizzlies did not have a 285-pound wrestler.

“We thought it would be OK to send him out against Chanute,” Carson said. “There’s no way I thought that would happen.”

Chanute won by forfeit at 113, 120, 126, 132, 138 and 220 pounds.

Counting the forfeits, Chanute won 72-0.

AGAINST LABETTE County, Conner won by fall at 3:15 over Trent Walker. Aiello won a 7-4 decision over Labette’s Martin Wol-

dum. Rieske was pinned by Dalton Wiley at 1:37.

In his match, Roettgen trailed the Grizzlies’ Cole Reazin 2-0 when he got the upper hand and a pin at 1:31 of the second period.

Labette County won by forfeit at 120, 126, 132 and 220 pounds. Iola won by for-feit at 182 and 285 pounds.

The Mustangs remain without the services of Stephen McDonald at 220 pounds and Zeph Larney at 152 pounds because of injury. Carson said McDon-ald may return in the next week or two from his shoul-der injury. He was unsure Larney would be sidelined with a knee injury.

Carson announced ju-nior Tristan Sigfusson was leaving the program be-cause of personal reasons and sophomore Kaleb Mock has been dismissed from

the team.“It’s been a tough week,”

Carson said.

JUNIOR VARSITY wres-tlers Raymond Branstetter and Jordan Long both split a pair of exhibition match-es Thursday.

Branstetter defeated Chanute’s Alex Cotton at 145 pounds by pin in 1:32. He lost by pin to Labette County’s Brandon Reason-er in 1:21.

Long wrestled at 160 pounds, downing Aaron McCoach of Labette Coun-ty 4-2 and losing 6-2 to Kyle Welch of Chanute.

The varsity returns to action next Saturday at the Eureka Invitational. Mean-while Branstetter and Long will return to Labette County today to take part in a JV invitational tour-nament.

Register/Richard LukenIola wrestlers Dacoda Hunt, above at right, and Travis Rieske, below, compete at a double-dual meet Thurs-day at Labette County High School.

UNIONTOWN — Crest Middle School’s boys bas-ketball teams split their con-tests this week.

The A team fell Thursday to Uniontown 42-11, three days after winning 38-31 over Southern Coffey Coun-ty on Monday.

In the Uniontown con-test, Gage Adams scored six, while Austin Hendrix and Carter Messenger had two apiece. Caleb Stephens add-ed a point.

Against Southern Coffey County, Messenger poured in 19 points, followed by Blake Ashmore with seven, Hendrix with six, Stephens

Miranda Golden scored

seven points for the Lady Lancers. Laurel Godderz had five and Karlee Hammond and Taryn Covey each scored two.

The B team fell 17-9. Makayla Jones had five points, while Camryn Strick-ler and Kaitlyn LaCross had two apiece.

“We had easy baskets but just couldn’t score,” Crest girls coach Brenna Ham-mond said. “It was a disap-pointing game to end with, but I’m so proud of how the girls did this season.”

The A team ended the sea-son at 11-4. The B team went 7-8.

Iola to within 18-16. Emma Sigg’s basket at the mid-way point of the quarter kept things close at 20-18, then Emery Driskel scored 13 seconds into the fourth quarter to pull Iola to within 23-20.

Things went south from there.

Prairie View amped up its defensive pressure, and the jumpers that Iola had been hitting in the first half stopped falling. The Buffalos closed the game with a 9-0 run.

Carlson noted Iola’s players seemed a little more perturbed than usu-al at Friday’s result, a wel-come sight to the hall of

fame coach.“It shows they’re matur-

ing,” Carlson said. “They don’t like losing.”

Endicott led Iola with seven points. Lohman scored five. Driskel had five boards and three steals. Ford had five rebounds.

Cierra Randall, who scored all eight of Prai-rie View’s first-quarter points, had 14 at the half and a game-high 18 by the end of the contest.

Prairie View eked out a 36-34 win in overtime of the junior varsity contest.

Lexie Long led Iola’s JV with six points. En-dicott and Lohman scored four each. Platt had three, Cassie Delich, Kyra Moore,

Emma Piazza, Taylor Sell and Driskel had two each. Paige Miller and Olivia Bannister both had one.

The freshman squad lost 35-17. Hannah Ingle scored seven points. Sell had four.

Iola heads to Burlington next week to partake in the Burlington Midseason Tournament. The Fillies take on top-seeded and un-beaten Burlington Tuesday.

HUMBOLDT — Hum-boldt High’s Lady Cubs had a “rough night” against the Cherryvale Chargers Friday night in a 54-28 loss.

Head Coach Sherri Nel-son attributed the loss in part to the Cubs’ turn-overs. They had 19 for the contest.

“We need to do a better

job of taking care of the ball,” Nelson said.

Breanna Kline led the scoring with seven points, Sheri Middleton contrib-uted six and Karsyn Men-zie had four.

Menzie had six re-bounds, Middleton had five and Lakota Wilson had four. Kline led in steals and assists with three each.

Nelson said the team needs wins in next week’s midseason tournament at Pleasanton to get their season where it needs to be.

“We need to get a couple wins at the tournament to get back on track,” Nel-son said, “and finish the second half of the season strong.”

Lady Cubs fall to Cherryvale


Several Sprint Cup drivers were at Daytona International Speedway last week for test laps, but not in stock cars.

Jamie McMurray, Juan Pablo Montoya, Michael Waltrip, Mar-cos Ambrose and Clint Bowyer turned laps in Grand-Am Rolex Series sports cars over Daytona’s 3.56-mile road course.

Sprint Cup drivers have com-peted in the Rolex 24 At Daytona since the early 1960s, when icons such as Fireball Roberts and Marvin Panch tried their skills at road racing.

The most recent Sprint Cup regular to win the Rolex 24 was AJ Allmendinger, who will return to defend his title on Jan. 26-27.

Hey, it’s been 18 years — Every 20 years or so, a driver defends his Daytona 500 title. The driver with the only chance to double up at Day-tona is Matt Kens-eth, who won last

year’s bizarre race.The last driver to win back-to-

back Daytona 500s was Sterling Marlin in 1994-95. It’s been so long that Marlin will return to Speedweeks 2013 to be inducted into a Daytona Beach Hall of Fame.

McMurray baby — Jamie McMur-ray has a lot on his mind these days. Not only is Speed-weeks rapidly approaching, but his wife, Christy, is expecting their second child.

The McMurrays have a 2-year-old boy, Carter Scott, who was part of the “great baby wave” that crashed through the NAS-CAR garage about three years ago.

R.I.P. Crawfi sh — NASCAR lost one of its great characters when Curtis “Crawfish” Crider, 82, died Dec. 21. Crider, who lived in the Daytona Beach area, got his nickname after his car crashed

in a pool of mud and someone noted, “You look like a crawfish!”

Crider once got last-place money for starting a Grand Na-tional Series race with a car that didn’t have a motor.

The Crider car was pushed to the grid. At the start of the race, the driver threw up his hands like his motor would not fire, then got towed off the track.

Sprint Cup drivers invade Daytona for Rolex 24

A.J. ALLMENDINGER SPRINT CUP SERIES No. 51 PHOENIX RACING CHEVROLET

� Michael Waltrip is all about sharing. He shares the No. 55 Toyota with Brian Vickers and Mark Martin. Now, he’ll be shar-ing a Ferrari with Clint Bowyer in the Rolex 24 At Daytona sports-car endurance race later this month.� It will be interesting to see

how Ford does this Sprint Cup season since most of the equip-ment used will be delivered from Roush Fenway Racing and Roush Yates Engines. Consoli-dation helps pays the bills, but the pressure is on Jack Roush to produce.� Several drivers who have

been on NASCAR probation got their get-out-of-jail cards Jan. 1. The list includes three Sprint Cup champions — Jeff Gordon, Kurt Busch and Brad Kesel-owski. Probation is less than a slap on the wrist. It’s more like an ear twist.� Still bewildered about

Dodge pulling out of the Sprint Cup Series? So are we. The carmaker was one of the first to put its 2013 racing model on public display and went on to win the championship. Somewhere in between, Dodge announced its withdrawal from Cup racing. Since Dodge won’t be in the game this season, it hasn’t used the title as a marketing tool. � Jamie McMurray is spend-

ing a lot of time in Daytona Beach. He competed in Daytona KartWeek Dec. 28-30, returned for sports-car testing last week and will return for stock-car testing Thursday-Saturday at Daytona International Speed-way. “I feel like I kind of live here,” he said during the sports-car test.�Chip Ganassi Racing with

Felix Sabates excels in the IZOD IndyCar Series and Grand-Am Rolex Series. But when it comes to its two-car effort in Sprint Cup, it’s been “THUD!” for two straight seasons. Look for a major resurgence in 2013.

Another Keselowski’s BackWhen NASCAR teams du-

tifully report to Daytona next month for the start of a new season, don’t be shocked if you see the new champ’s name — Keselowski — near the bottom of initial practice speed reports. A closer look will likely reveal that it’s BRIAN Keselowski, older brother of Brad. Brian is an ARCA racer, who plans to attempt to make his second Daytona 500.

A.J.’s New Lease On His Racing Life

Allmendinger working to have a better 2013

It’s racing, after all. So it’s only natural: What goes around, comes around. The alternative is parking behind the wall, so you go along with it.

This month, A.J. Allmendinger is right back where he was a year ago. But boy, oh boy, has the scenery changed. Nearly a year ago, Allmendinger carried the Michael Shank Racing team to victory in the Rolex 24 at Daytona and was sitting atop the racing world.

His outgoing demeanor, quick wit and ready smile made him a perfect fit for modern racing stardom. And that seemed to be in store, since he was on the cusp of long-awaited NASCAR success at the highest level, or so it seemed. Several weeks before last year’s Rolex, he’d been hired by Roger Penske to replace Kurt Busch in Penske’s No. 22 Sprint Cup Series ride.

But any momentum Allmendinger owned dis-appeared in a long string of mediocre (and worse) finishes during the first half of the 2012 Cup season. But finishing several laps down and behind the wall is nothing compared with the sidelining he suffered when he returned to Daytona in July for the midsea-son 400-miler. Not long after NASCAR’s traveling

road show set up shop for an early-July weekend, word spread about Allmendinger failing a random drug test.

“That’s when all the hell in my life started — the July race (in Daytona),” he said during last week’s Daytona sports-car test session.

Allmendinger soon lost his Penske ride. When his suspension was lifted, he did mop-up duty the last month of the Cup season for James Finch’s Phoenix Racing. As of now, the Rolex 24, with his defending-champ teammates at Michael Shank Racing, is the lone entrant on his to-do list.

But he’s painting a positive picture.“I’m a lot better person than I was when I sat here

a year ago,” Allmendinger said. “Racing is a priority, but it doesn’t have to control your life. For 30 years, it controlled my life, and once it gets taken away, it doesn’t control it anymore and you have to figure out, ‘OK, what kind of person am I?’

“Once you get all those defense mechanisms and all the walls down, it’s just you standing there as a person. You gotta look at yourself every day. That’s what I do. It’s a constant battle, because there’s good and bad.”

� Who’s hot: The tax lawyers at the nation’s biggest “motorsports entertain-ment complexes” skated over the “fi scal cliff” without a stumble. We won’t try to explain the accounting details, but the so-called NASCAR tax credit is said to be worth about $40 million to the biggest speedways, which must make the parent companies in Daytona and Charlotte very happy — and relieved.

� Who’s not: Robby Gordon’s NASCAR career appears to be slowing to a full stop. No plans for this year, except for the buildup of his new venture, Robby Gordon’s Stadium Super Trucks.

The Kez Racing FamilyThe “Racing Keselowskis”

didn’t just spring to life with Brad. As noted, big brother Brian also has the racin’ fever, and it was apparently inherited. Dad Bob Keselowski ran NASCAR’s Truck Series in the late 1990s and even won a race — at Richmond in 1997. Bob’s lone Sprint Cup Series start came at Pocono in 1994. He started 42nd and finished 41st in a Ford owned by Smut Means.

Sprint Cup teams will debut their new-look 2013 stock cars — nicknamed “Gen6” at Daytona International Speed-way’s Preseason Thunder (Thursday-Saturday). The cars look more like their showroom namesakes. But how will they perform on the high banks?

NASCAR This Week’s Godwin Kelly gives his take: “It will be like the first time peanut butter met jelly — they will fit together nicely, but it could get a little sticky.”

GENERATION 6 VS. DAYTONA

John Clark/NASCAR This WeekAfter the promise of a good racing start and the misery of a failed drug test at Daytona in July, A.J. Allmendinger is working his way back to full-time racing in the Sprint Cup Series. This season, the racer is planning to run in the Rolex 24 and get in some Cup races.

■ It’s part test session and part promotion. It’s “Preseason Thunder” at Daytona International Speedway, which was once known simply as January testing before someone realized he/she could give it a copyrighted name, design a neat logo and, by golly, sell some T-shirts.

■ The Thursday-through-Saturday test session will include a “Fan Fest,” complete with question-and-answer opportunities with drivers. Call it an educated hunch, but here are three questions we figure will certainly be asked a lot during Daytona’s test days:

■ “Hey, Juan, keeping an eye out for jet dryers this year?”

■ No, don’t expect Juan Pablo Montoya to enjoy any of this. But he

might as well prepare for it and piece together a stock answer.

■ You don’t wreck under caution, slam into a safety truck that’s trailering a jet dryer, ignite a fire that engulfs Turn 3, trigger a long prime-time delay in ‘The Great American Race” and expect folks to forget all about it in 11 months.

■ “What is Bar Refaeli? And does the place serve draft beer and hot wings?”

■ Haven’t heard of Bar Refaeli? Well, for starters, it doesn’t have swinging doors and a jukebox. She’s a person. A model, actually. A “supermodel,” specifically.

■ Bar Refaeli, a native of Israel, will be teamed with Danica Patrick in a pair of Super Bowl ads next month. Danica’s continued Super Bowl profile,

courtesy of her sponsor GoDaddy.com, is an annual part of racing’s preseason chatter, and if you don’t understand why an ad campaign would be so topical in auto-racin’ circles, you don’t pay enough attention to modern auto racin.’

■ “Hey man, how’s the new car?”■ NASCAR’s latest generation of

“stock” is designed to look a little more stock. None of that new look will matter much if the cars don’t provide the type of action preferred by race fans. And even though a superspeedway plate race (Daytona) is like nothing else on the schedule, folks will want to know how teams and drivers feel about the new car.

■ Another educated hunch regarding the most popular answer: “Pretty good.”

WHAT TO EXPECT AND HEAR IN 2013

John Clark/NASCAR This WeekDanica Patrick will team up with supermodel Bar Refaeli for a pair of Super Bowl ads next month. Patrick, who is still spon-sored by GoDaddy.com, is hoping to have a breakout year in the Cup Series after her debut last season.
