Vol. 115, No. 25 75 Cents Iola, KS

By BOB JOHNSONbob@iolaregister.com

LaHARPE — Bill Folkner eased back in his recliner and stretched his legs across the pop-up support.

“That’s better,” he sighed, men-tioning that 15 years ago he was told one knee should be replaced, but that it wasn’t a commitment he was ready to make. “I got a NordicTrack and before long my knee quit hurting, although it has been acting up some lately.”

Folkner, 90, is retired 37 years from more than 20 years as a spe-cial agent for the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Folkner likes to visit, but is reluctant to delve too deeply into his career “with the Bureau,” as he affectionately calls it.

“I don’t want people to think I’m a braggart,” he said.

Consequently, stories about FBI activities are limited and brief, including none about the time he spent in New York City working, as he puts it, “to make sure the nation was secure.”

FOLKNER WAS born in 1922, the last of eight children, on a place outside of Chattanooga, Tenn.

Before he was old enough to at-tend school, he was in the class-room at his mother’s side, a first-grade teacher.

That gave him a head start on education, being exposed to lessons meant for kids two and three years older.

His mother died when he was 9, and from then on he didn’t have her as a refuge. The result was a stronger constitution and a mentally tough young fellow.

Folkner was eager to carry his share of the family load, going to work in a jelly factory at 13 in 1935 for 10 cents an hour.

“The owner said after a day I couldn’t do a man’s work and cut me to 7½ cents an hour,” he said. “I thought we were poor then, but Dad and I and my siblings all worked.”

An aside of the jelly factory job Folkner likes to tell is that during World War II — he was

in the Pacific with the Army — he opened a jar of jelly on New Guinea, “and it was made at that factory.”

He enrolled in Reserve Officer Training Corps service in high school, which gave him a step up in the National Guard and then the Army.

“When I joined the Army, at 19, I went in as a sergeant and three months later I was a staff sergeant, telling guys 35 years old what to do. We had discipline then, they (the older soldiers) did what I told them.”

After his discharge, Folkner was reluctant to take advantage of the G.I. Bill, which gave veter-ans a ticket to college.

“I didn’t believe you needed to be paid to fight for your country,” he said.

Folkner conceded a few years later. He was selling insurance, and dealt often with moneyed people. He realized that if he were going to get ahead, he need-ed more than a high school edu-cation.

He enrolled in a Tennessee col-lege and after two years enrolled in law school, taking him a step closer to a childhood dream.

“I saw ‘G Men,’ starring James Cagney and wanted to be a G man,” an early nickname for FBI agents, Folkner recalled.

He knew that if he were to ful-fill that dream, he needed either a legal background or have three years of experience as an ac-countant.

“That’s the only ones they were hiring,” Folkner said.

During the interview he was asked two questions: Had he ever taken bankruptcy and did he have anything questionable in his background.

“Well, I’d never taken bank-ruptcy, but I was worried about the other question,” he said. “There was the time I put down I

Elderly becomes victims of scams

By STEVEN SCHWARTZsteven@iolaregister.com

Over the past month, “grand-parent scams” have increased in Allen County, and several people have learned about them the hard way.

An elderly couple, who request-ed not to be named in this story, received a strange phone call from Mexico.

Mike Ford, an Iola police officer and Kansas Crimestoppers presi-dent, said there are certain things to look for when people call to scam grandparents. This couple’s story is textbook example of the crime.

First, an alleged granddaugh-ter called, who said she had a cold, which was meant to explain the difference in her voice. The scammer usually starts the con-

versation with “it’s your favorite granddaughter,” in an attempt to get the specific name of who they are impersonating. The grand-daughter then said that she had been arrested in Mexico, saying authorities had found cocaine in the trunk of her friend’s car.

Ford said every case is the same. The scammer then asks the grandparents not tell her par-ents about anything, and that the grandparents should wire money to them for bail and court fees. The Iola couple sent $2,300 from Advance America in Iola to what they thought was the U.S. Embas-sy in Mexico. The scammers in-structed them to make up a story to tell the wire service, in order not to alert them about why they were wiring the money.

Drug court introduced at ‘See, Hear Iola!’By ALLISON TINN

allison@iolaregister.comIola community members re-

ceived a lesson in drug court at Friday’s “See, Hear Iola!” Cham-ber of Commerce program.

Judge Dan Creitz, of Allen County’s 31st Judicial District Drug Court, gave a presentation on the drug court program, not a new concept but new to Allen County.

“This was not my idea,” Creitz said. “The sheriff, Tom Williams, came to me and Judge Saxton with this idea, and said ‘we have a drug problem… I think this will help us.’”

Drug court, not mandated by Kansas law, strives to reduce recidivism of drug offenders in the criminal justice system and provide community protection with a cost effective, integrated continuum of care through the development and utilization of community resources, as its mis-

sion statement reads. “The purpose of this is to treat

people addicted to drugs,” Creitz said. “We want to help them be-come law-abiding citizens.”

The program will begin Jan. 10 and will hold court appear-ances every other Thursday. The drug court will cover not only Allen County but the entire 31st Judicial District which includes Neosho, Wilson and Woodson counties.

There will be three types of populations involved with the drug court. Offenders who have

been placed under mandatory drug treatment under Senate Bill 123, those facing revocation in prison, and first-time offend-ers who work out a diversion sentence with a county attorney.

SB 123 was designed to pro-vide community supervision and drug treatment to offenders with drug abuse problems in or-der to reserve correctional facil-ity capacity for more serious and violent offenders.

Ulrich continues tradition of savings

Ulrich Furniture has a sto-ried history in Iola — a product of their wide selection and low prices.

Gordon Ulrich, owner, said this time of year gets busier and busi-er as Christmas nears.

“The wives start to bring their husbands out to get their Christ-mas shopping done,” Gordon said.

There is no lack of options for gift ideas in the store. Ulrich said recliners are a hot item for the store this time of year, and they have models from the top brands, including Lane, Ashley and La-Crosse. Many models of recliners are priced up to 60 percent off of the asking price.

He said the bargains do not stop at recliners. The store is cur-

rently carrying entertainment centers from Lane and Ashley Furniture — a perfect compli-ment to the family’s new wide-screen TV. He said he is offering a Vaughn-Bassett solid oak din-ing room set for $1,275, normally priced at $2,500. For those need-

Brown: comfortably out of her element By STEVEN SCHWARTZsteven@iolaregister.com

Carla Brown, human resources manager for the city of Iola, is out of her element, and it seems that is just where she want to be.

Brown, 28, grew up in England, Ark., a city in the central part of the state. She attended Arkansas Tech University, where she met her husband Michael. From that point, it seemed to be life on the road for Brown.

She and her husband have been working for construction com-panies for the past several years, most recently with Ames Con-struction — a Denver-based civil engineering company. Carla and Michael have lived in multiple areas, including Wyoming, Iowa,

The past several months I have been attending and utilizing programs through webinars, teleconferences and several other techni-cal means. I have gained a whole new perspective on marketing, programs on working with the disabled, how to use websites to sell and promote. What does this have to do with you? Every-thing. Whether you are a business in a mortar and brick building, home-based, or a farmer’s market vendor, the Chamber has ways to help you achieve your goals.

The Chamber is tier-based so there is a member-ship level that everyone can afford. But joining is just the beginning. Though we offer many different opportuni-ties they don’t work if they are not utilized.

Here are few ways you can help yourself through the Chamber:

• Join the Chamber Am-bassadors. Ambassadors help plan and execute many of the community’s activi-ties. It is an excellent way to network with many of our business owners and mem-bers of their staff. Plus we just have plain old-fashioned fun being together.

• If you are new business take advantage of our rib-bon cuttings. It is the Cham-ber’s way of saying welcome to the Iola area. No strings attached. Of course we want you to become one of the Chamber Family but it is not required. Think of all the new people you can meet in this way.

• Send events and happen-ings to the Chamber weekly

e-blast newsletter. We have a large list that goes out all over the state.

• Join the Get Iola Face-book page. We try to pro-mote Chamber members daily as well as all the things that are going on in the area.

• Make sure we have cur-rent information at the of-fice about your business. We get a large amount of phone calls daily looking for a mul-titude of services and busi-

nesses. We mail informa-tion packets constantly. We can’t promote what we don’t know.

• Attend the “See, Hear Iola!” on the last Fridays of the month. It is one hour a month that has a wealth of information about what is going on with the city, the business, the housing, schools, etc.

These are just a few ways to get involved, remember that you have to get involved if you want to get the most out of your membership.

We don’t host traditional monthly Chamber meetings, because most don’t want another meeting to attend. But we do host many activi-ties and opportunities to get together. One such event is the Cash Mob that was held

this past Thursday evening. A Chamber merchant was pulled out of a drawing and contacted to see if they wanted to participate. They agreed, and we had a great turnout. The lucky business was Classy Attic and we had a great time just shopping and helping boost her bot-tom line for the month. We will have another on Dec. 12, more information next week on that.

Bottom line the Chamber is here to help the business-es and the community. We would love to have all busi-ness involved in the Cham-ber. Do yourself — and your business — a favor. Call or email the Chamber of Com-merce office and we will wel-come you into the Chamber family.

Cash mob debuts with popularity

ing a bit more space to re-lax, Ulrich is having a sale on sectional sofas as well.

The store is also offer-ing several types of beds for those looking to get a bit more shut-eye for the holidays. They carry tra-ditional spring mattresses and memory foam mat-tresses.

Ulrich Furniture has been bringing the bar-gains since Gordon’s father, Leland Ulrich,

opened the Iola store in 1957. Before that, the store was known as W.H. Wood Furniture, which opened next door in 1934. The fur-niture business in his fam-ily originally started in LaHarpe, where Gordon’s great uncle opened Curtis Wood Furniture.

Ulrich said the store will begin late hours on Dec. 17 for the late shoppers. The store will open at 8 a.m. and will remain open until around 6 p.m.

Kansas and Nebraska. When they hooked on

with the U.S. 59 realign-ment project in Ottawa, the Browns chose to settle in Kincaid, purchasing a home in 2007.

“When we were young, it was fun to move around a lot. But I needed a change of pace,” she was of the de-cision to leave Ames Con-struction where she served as a safety coordinator, a job she says is similar to that of a human resources manager.

Brown gave Ames notice when she began with the City of Iola on Nov. 19.

“When I saw the job opening, I knew I could do

it,” Brown said. “I practi-cally begged for the job.”

“I’m trying to get mo-tivated to do the things I like,” Brown said. “In con-struction, you can’t always do what you enjoy.”

Those activities include gardening and using the couple’s pontoon on area

lakes.Brown said she and

her husband, who is cur-rently working in Iowa on a bridge over the Missouri River, are pleased with their decision to settle down in southeast Kansas — for now.

Brown said Kincaid and Iola are “some of the nic-est places we’ve ever been to.” She said people are willing to help each other out in this area.

As for her work, Brown said she is working out the “little details” and getting used to the process, but she plans to be at 100 percent very soon. With her health and safety background, she hopes to help out the

city and its employees.“I think we need to

maintain a good safety re-cord, which will also help keep our costs low,” Brown said.

Brown is currently tak-ing online courses through Columbia Southern Uni-versity, where she hopes to finish her occupational safety and health degree in the near future.

Until then, Brown said she plans to enjoy the “normal” work lifestyle. She said she is not used to seeing the sun before, and even after she gets off work. She and her husband plan to visit her family for the holiday season in Ar-kansas.

By CURTIS MORGANThe Miami Herald

MIAMI — Hurricane season 2012, which official-ly ends today, will go down in history as the year of Superstorm Sandy, which carved a path of death and devastation from the Caribbean to the Jersey Shore.

Scientifically speak-ing, it also was notable for something it was not: intense. For the third con-secutive season, the trop-ics churned out what not long ago would rank as an abnormally large number of storms _ yet curiously only one of 19 managed to reach Category 3 strength.

It wasn’t Sandy. It was otherwise forgettable Mi-chael, which spent all of a half-day with its maximum winds above the “major” benchmark of 111 mph before spinning off into oblivion in the far-off At-lantic Ocean.

By the old-school yard-stick of named storms, 2012 ranked among the busiest hurricane season on record. By broader and more sophisticated mea-sures, it was sort of mid-dling.

“We had a large number of storms but most of them

did not amount to much,” said Chris Landsea, sci-ence and operations officer for the National Hurricane Center.

“It was very unusual,” said Phil Klotzbach, a re-search scientist at Colo-rado State University who teams with climatologist William Gray on closely watched annual hurricane forecasts. “For major hur-ricanes, it was one of the quietest years in the last 24 years.”

Despite two close and soggy calls, it also went down as a lucky seventh consecutive landfall-free year for South Florida.

Overall, this year’s tropi-cal output may only muddy the climate-change debate reopened as a result of San-dy slamming the heavily populated, rarely-hit north-eastern United States.

With the media capital of America at the center

of its path, Sandy may have been among the most hyped hurricanes in history. Unfortunately, it largely lived up to the billing, filling New York City streets and subways with seawater, inundating quaint towns along the Jer-sey Shore and killing 115 people. The storm, which earlier killed more than 70 people as it raked across Haiti, Cuba and the Baha-mas, also pulled the issue of global warming out of the political deep freezer. New York City Mayor Mi-chael Bloomberg, echoing environmental groups, said Sandy’s destruction had underlined the con-cerns of rising sea levels and stronger storms.

Sandy struck the North-east as a rare but not unprec-edented hybrid of tropical hurricane and nor’easter winter storm, forecasters said. It was so powerful it

reached the second-lowest barometric pressure read-ing ever recorded for a northeastern storm. The massive storm, added by seasonal high tides, pushed a record storm surge into Lower Manhattan and along the New York-New Jersey coast.

But sorting out how much of a role, if any, cli-mate change may have played in a specific storm like Sandy or even in any given hurricane season may be impossible.

“From one season to the next, it’s just not some-thing we can see,” said Brian McNoldy, a senior researcher at the Univer-sity of Miami’s Rosenstiel School of Marine and At-mospheric Science who writes a hurricane expert blog for The Washington Post. “It’s something we may be able to see unfold over decades.”

Complicating the de-bate, the prevailing theory about climate change im-pacts has been that that warming oceans would likely produce fewer but more intense hurricanes, he said.

In 2012 at least, McNoldy said, “That’s the exact op-posite that has happened.”

This year’s hurricane season offered mixed messages

It was very unusual. For major hurricanes it was one of the quietest years in the last 24 years.

— Phil Klotzbach, a research scientist at Colorado State University

Opinion

Kansas governors are held accountable by the voters, Bur-dett Loomis told a crowd at Washburn University Thurs-day night, a fact that could lead to a change of leadership in Kansas in 2014, he said.

Dr. Loomis is a widely quoted political scientist at the Univer-sity of Kansas and was one of six prominent academics who analyzed the impact of the 2012 election on Kansas politics in a roundtable discussion at the Washburn School of Law.

He went on to say that the people of Kansas may decide in 2014 that the drastic cuts in the state budget required by this year’s across-the-board income tax cuts were not a good idea. Loomis noted that students of the budget forecast large spending cuts, which could only come from education, health care, highways and pris-ons — all state responsibilities with broad popular support. S l a s h i n g spending on those essential state activ-ities might cause the p u b l i c to vote a g a i n s t tax and spending cuts, he surmised.

Dr. Joe Aistrup of Kansas State Uni-versity said he thought the budget cuts would create pres-sure for consolidation, “which is the longest four-letter word in the political lexicon,” and draw an angry response from voters.

Joining Loomis and Aistrup in this discussion were Dr. Bob Beatty of Washburn, Dr. Mi-chael Smith of Emporia State University, Dr. Mark Peterson of Washburn and Dr. Gwyn Mellinger of Baker University. The forum was broadcast over public television.

While agreeing that Kansas had had a national reputation for progressive policies in the recent past, all of the speak-ers also agreed that Gov. Sam Brownback and the current Republican majorities in the Legislature have carried the state far to the right side of the political spectrum.

Dr. H. Edward Flentje, a pro-fessor of public administration at Wichita State University and co-author with Dr. Aistrup of “Kansas Politics and Govern-ment,” told an attentive audi-ence that Kansas was not alone in electing a state government controlled by a single party. “The blue states got bluer and the red states got redder in the 2012 election,” he said

Many states — including Kansas — now have super-ma-jorities of the dominant party, he said, “so I think we are go-ing to see some creative stuff coming out of state govern-ments” as those power blocs seek to put their ideologies into law.

Aistrup agreed. He said Kan-sas government has been fi-nanced in the past with rough-ly equal revenue from property taxes, income taxes and sales taxes. “Gov. Brownback has

said it’s not going to be that way any more,” that the bur-den will be borne primarily by the sales tax and the property tax as he and the Legislature continue to slash income taxes on individuals and businesses.

Aistrup also noted that Kan-sas was once noted for moder-ate Republican leaders but that the moderate Republican has been “retired, defeated or con-verted and is now an extinct species.”

He and others on the panel observed that November’s elec-tion strengthened the national trend toward “political sec-tionalism,” with the coasts and New England voting solidly Democratic and the South and Midwest voting Republican.

Dr. Smith of Emporia point-ed out what he considers an anomaly: Rep. Tim Huelscamp of the First District represents western Kansas, which is the congressional district most

h e a v i l y dependent upon fed-eral farm programs of any in K a n s a s . Yet Huels-camp is the most v e h e -m e n t l y small-gov-e r n m e n t conserva-

tive of the six Kansas members of Congress.

The contrast between the congressman’s philosophy and the needs of his constituents is stark, Smith said.

Dr. Beatty observed that the 2012 election demonstrated the importance of presidential de-bates and noted that Kansas doesn’t have a gubernatorial debate commission.

“We should create one, but it probably won’t happen unless the people demand it,” he said.

Mellinger of Baker Universi-ty was the only member of the panel who was not a political scientist. “That’s why I wanted to be last,” she said. She teach-es communications and spent the election year observing how political candidates inter-acted with the media.

“By and large, I think Kan-sas newspapers, radio and tele-vision stations did a good job of covering the state campaign and letting the public know where the candidates stood, but there were two concerns that grew in my mind during the year. One was that the re-cession and the changes in the industry have combined to re-duce the number of reporters in the field so that sometimes political events went uncov-ered and unreported. The oth-er, that some candidates have decided that they don’t need to contact the media and give them interviews.

“Sometimes this is because the candidates don’t want to answer tough questions. An-other, which is even more dis-turbing, is that they and their advisers have decided they would rather contact voters with direct mail pieces and ad-vertisements, which only give the voters a one-sided view.”

— Emerson Lynn, jr.

Panel of expertstakes critical lookat Kansas politics

Kansas was once noted for moderate Republican leaders but the moderate Republican has been “retired, defeated or converted and is now an ex-tinct species.”

The fact that 90 percent of the day’s spinach was thrown away by Iola High School students at a recent lunch is not a reason to stop serving the vegetable.

In fact, it may be the very rea-son even more fruits and vegeta-bles need to be served in school lunch lines. Seems students need to be taught certain foods do the body more good than others. And a learning environment such as school is the perfect place all kids can enroll in Nutrition 101 — otherwise called lunch hour.

The waste of good food frus-trates Colleen Riebel, food ser-vice director for the local school district.

“If your kids say they’re hun-gry, they probably are,” she told school board members Monday night.

The answer, however, is not to serve the students a high-calorie diet heavy in starches, fats and sweets. Sure we’d like to eat pizza and hamburgers every day — un-fortunately, our brains are wired that way — but it’s not what we need to develop strong bodies and keen minds.

Riebel said the school’s mid-morning snack bar is a big suc-cess to help get students through the morning. The biggest sellers? Pop Tarts and banana nut bread. In other words, desserts.

THE AVERAGE teenage girl needs about 2,000 calories a day. That’s if she’s 5-foot, 5 inches, weighs 130 pounds and has an ac-tive lifestyle. Her male counter-part, at 5-foot-9 and 150 pounds, needs 2,900 calories.

The average school lunch con-tains 850 calories. So Susie proba-bly shouldn’t eat the entire meal, while Brian is safe to clean his plate. Typical lunches include a protein, say a grilled chicken pat-ty, a cup of vegetables, a half-cup of starch such as sweet potato fries, a whole grain roll and eight ounces of fat-free milk.

The same amount of calories

can be had at McDonalds with a Big Mac, small fries, two packets of ketchup, a diet Coke, and for dessert, a nonfat iced latte with sugar-free vanilla syrup. With the McDonalds menu the only redeeming food is the meat patty, otherwise its mostly “empty cal-ories,” with no nutritional value.

Learning how to eat smart is an important life skill. It’ll help combat obesity and ward off heart disease, hypertension, and other debilitating symptoms. It used to be that only adults had to worry about such things, but that’s not the case these days. Childhood obesity is now of epi-demic proportions in the United States.

People complain it’s too hard to cook healthy. It takes too long to chop up vegetables or to make them taste good.

At our house we trying to in-corporate more vegetables into our evening meals. Most nights we have a salad of dark green let-

tuce and a cornucopia of vegeta-bles scattered on top, in addition to hot vegetable. We eat meat and fish, but not every night. Some-times nice beans or tofu provide the protein.

I’m a new fan of the magazine “Eating Well,” and followed its Thanksgiving Day menu, which included all the regular favorites — creamed corn, mashed pota-toes, green beans, pie, cranberry sauce, turkey and stuffing — but per serving was half the calories of traditional recipes. Not one bite suffered from having fewer calories.

I’m sharing one of my favor-ite recipes new to our house. It’s low in fat, cholesterol, carbo-hydrates, but a good source of protein. What makes it so easy to make is that Walmart now car-ries precut butternut squash, so other than dicing an onion, it’s a matter of throwing all the in-gredients together and letting it cook for 30 minutes. The cost per serving is under $2.

My fear is that Walmart will pull the pre-cut squash after the holidays. It comes packaged with small pouches of dried cherries, brown sugar and a stuffing mix. I toss the stuffing and save the cherries and brown sugar for an early morning’s bowl of oatmeal. Delicious!

USD 257 board members later this month will consider wheth-er to begin efforts to build a new elementary school.

It should be a no-brainer. The district has three elemen-

taries and all have inadequacies that beg attention, many that directly affect teachers’ abili-ties to educate children. Among deficiencies are classrooms too small and too few, antiquated climate controls — in some rooms kids have to don coats on extra cold days — and inability to deliver the multitude of op-portunities that today’s tech-nology provides.

Also, having all students in one building — i.e. what Cha-nute, Garnett and many other area schools already have — pro-vides teachers with better oppor-tunities to confer, plan and even team-teach, all helpful in deliver-ing the education that young stu-

dents need.Elementary education is at the

very core of a student’s chance at learning. If they don’t come away with the basics, particular-ly in reading and mathematics, they’re at very great risk of hav-ing to swim upstream the rest of their lives.

In the weeks and months ahead, the public will be given much information validating construction of a new elemen-tary. Take advantage.

A new school will require a general obligation bond issue,

which will be retired with prop-erty taxes.

Some folks undoubtedly will rail against “more taxes.” Kindly listen, and then point out that we can’t put a price tag on our most precious commodity, our chil-dren. They need and deserve the very best education we can give them.

If it means foregoing a night out once month at your favor-ite restaurant, rest assured that whatever replaces that fare at home will be just as nutritious.

Also avail yourself of oppor-tunities that arise to learn what a new school will mean to the future of Iola and the area. A new hospital, which we soon will have, and schools up to date are infrastructure gems that draw business, industry and residents.

When it comes time to vote on a new school, march to the polls and mark the “yes” box.

Face Your Fears It seems that God does not want us to be fearful. However, He does want us to be aware of dangerous situations. Fear can be described as a feeling of possible danger or a sense that something bad may happen. The Bible tells us that we should fear the Lord, and that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Just as children may fear their parents when they do something wrong, our fear of the Lord may be warranted when we do not live or act as God wants us to. We were all created by God, and all of the emotions that we have were put there by Him for our own good. However, it is our responsibility to control and use our emotions for the good of our well-being. Prayer is an enemy of fear and seems to alleviate the mental and physical anguish of being afraid. At one time or another, everyone experiences the emotion of fear, and facing our fears with prayer does help by drawing us closer to God. God is Love, and He wants us to return His love. God is also fair and just, and we should have nothing to fear if we are trying to live our lives according to His will.There is no fear in love; perfect love drives out all fear.

Indepedent KJV

I was born in 1920 instead of 1922 to get into the Na-tional Guard.

“I guess the answer satis-fied Mr. (J. Edgar) Hoover,” who was director of the FBI.

He got a telegram in De-cember 1953 offering em-ployment for $5,500 a year.

He reported to FBI train-ing at Quantico, Va., out-side Washington, D.C., in early 1954, and was greeted by Hoover, who told him “to watch my step, there were 2,000 men looking for a job with the Bureau.”

His first assignment was in Philadelphia, where “I got an education in the big city.” After only six months he was transferred to New York City. That was a time he refrains from discussing

other than to say, “I worked on every kind of case” and that many had to do with national security.

TWO ASSIGNMENTS Folkner was willing to talk about involved the Mexican insurgent Reies Lopez Tije-rina and the Weatherman Underground movement.

Before college, Folkner worked a year for the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Mexico, and acquired a working knowledge of Spanish, which he thinks led to him being assigned to Albuquerque, N.M., near the end of his career.

“I had applied for Al-buquerque,” considered a plum assignment, but was near the bottom of the list and thought chances of be-ing transferred there were

remote. Tijerina led efforts in

the late 1960s and 1970s to restore New Mexico land grants to the descendants of original Spanish colo-nial and Mexican owners.

He became a major figure of the early Chicano Move-ment, as well as famous in-ternationally for his armed raid on the Tierra Amarilla courthouse, where the sher-iff was killed.

Folkner become involved, even though the crimes Ti-jerina and wife Nancy were accused of committing were the province of state law enforcement.

The federal government was eager to see the move-ment quashed, though, be-cause the land the Mexicans wanted repatriated mostly was in national forests and

otherwise under federal control. The New Mexico National Guard was called out when the hard-core Mexicans became violent and took to the hills.

Tijerina’s downfall came when he was photographed setting fire to a sign on federal land. A tip given Folkner about the photos, which surfaced through the photographer’s mother, led to the arrest of Tijerina and his wife for destroy-ing federal property. They were convicted and sent to prison.

Folkner also was involved in defusing the Weather-man Underground, orga-nized in 1969 as a faction of Students for a Democratic Society. Its goal was to cre-ate a clandestine revolu-tionary party to overthrow

the U.S. government.“Every Sunday a TV

show ended with pictures of the FBI’s Ten Most Want-ed fugitives,” Folkner said, and several of whom were in the Weatherman organi-zation.

One Sunday a truck driv-er thought he recognized Kathie Boudin, a highly sought Weatherman advo-cate, as being a hitchhiker. He called authorities and Folkner quickly was on the trail in northern New Mex-ico, near Taos.

The woman didn’t turn out to be Boudin, but Folkner did arrest another Weatherman fugitive, An-thony Grell, who had been traveling with the mistaken woman. Grell slipped up when Folkner looked at what proved to be a phony driver’s license and, when Folkner asked, he gave the date of registration as his birth date.

“I slapped the handcuffs on him,” Folkner said.

HOW FOLKNER came to spend the last 37 years on the outskirts of LaHarpe was happenstance.

He and his former wife — they’ve been divorced since 1988 — were in the area for the burial of a relative.

“I had no expectation of living at LaHarpe, but I did want something other than a big city for retirement, as well as something afford-able,” he said.

Today he lives in a com-fortable home surrounded by countryside east of La-Harpe.

Sometime after he bought his “ranch,” as he calls it, he was asked if he’d sell a field to the east for a mobile home park.

“I said, ‘No,’” Folker said.Getting away from the

city means space — in all sense of the word.

Nancy Yancey, a custom-er service representative at Walmart, stopped the couple from wiring a second $2,300 to Mexico for alleged attorney fees.

“They really believe these people (the scammers). The grandparents are so anx-ious to help their grand-kids,” Yancey said. “It really breaks my heart.”

Yancey said once the mon-ey is sent, there is no way to trace it and get it back. She said it is important for money service employees to be trained to recognize the scams before grandparents send the money.

“I was really shocked to see that the other money had been sent (from Ad-vance America),” Yancey said. “People really need to be trained to recognize this.”

She said because the grandparents are instructed to lie to the wire service, it is often difficult to get the real reason why the money is being sent. She said em-ployees need to “be nosey.” As for the grandparents, she said the easiest way to avoid the scam is to call the grand-child’s parents, even though they were instructed not to do so.

Yancey said the scams have been brought to her service desk three times in the past month. Another el-derly couple wired $1,900 to Mexico, and were stopped

before they wired another $7,000.

As for the couple who sent the $2,300, they were extremely grateful that they were not able to send any

more funds.“I’m just glad Nancy

stopped us from sending any more money,” the wom-an said. “I just couldn’t lie to her.”

Ford said his department has done its best to alert elderly citizens about the scams. He said the scam-mers look for names in the phone book that seem older, and that is how they decide who to call. He said if people know what to look for, many losses can be prevented.

have put in a lot of time to see if this program would be beneficial in Allen Coun-ty. They observed drug courts in Emporia, Topeka, Wichita and Lancaster, Mo. and they attended a drug court planning initiative training program in San Diego funded by a federal grant. They were the only group in Kansas to be cho-sen for the training pro-gram.

According to Creitz, the team is meeting about ev-ery two weeks to finalize details of the drug courts beginning in January.

The court will hold 25 to 50 people in its court sys-tem.

“At first we will be deal-ing with people already in the system due to Senate Bill 123,” he said.

The success rate for this program has been statisti-cally high.

According to Creitz, 75 percent of adult criminal drug court graduates never see another pair of hand-cuffs.

Offenders will spend roughly one year in the sys-tem.

“We have to make them understand they have a problem and that we are there to help. We can’t help them until they admit they have a problem, though,” Creitz said.

I was really shocked to see that the other money had been sent (from Ad-vance America). People really need to be trained to recognize this.

AnniversaryOrville and Margaret Ellen Rogers

Orville and Marga-ret Ellen Rogers will be honored with an open house to celebrate their 70th wedding anniver-sary.

The celebration will be Dec. 9 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Kincaid Sel-ma United Methodist Church fellowship hall in Kincaid.

Orville Wesley Rog-ers, Kincaid, and Mar-garet Ellen Mitchell, Blue Mound, were mar-ried in Kansas City, Mo., on Dec. 10, 1942, while Orville was stationed in Belleville, Ill. World War II kept them apart for nearly two years.

On Dec. 20, 1945, Or-

ville arrived home and together they farmed and raised their three children northeast of Selma. In 1992, they re-tired and moved to Iola.

Hosting will be their three children: Gary and his wife, Peggy, Kin-caid, Neil and his wife, Nancy, Blue Springs, Mo., and Carolyn and her husband, Ed Carstedt, Cherryvale, as well as nine grand-children and 19 great-grandchildren.

For the last year, Or-ville and Margaret Ellen have made their home at 217 North St. Apt. 102, Iola. The couple re-quests no gifts.

NEW YORK (AP) — A tourist’s snapshot of a New York City police officer giv-ing new boots to a barefoot homeless man in Times Square has created an on-line sensation.

Jennifer Foster, Flor-ence, Ariz., was visiting New York with her boy-friend on Nov. 14, when she came across the shoeless man asking for change in Times Square.

As she was about to ap-proach him, she said the officer — identified as Lar-ry DePrimo — came up to the man with a pair of all-weather boots and thermal socks on the frigid night. She recorded his generosity on her cellphone.

It was posted Tuesday night to the NYPD’s official Facebook page and became an instant hit. More than 360,000 users “liked” it as of Thursday afternoon, and over 100,000 shared it.

Thousands of people commented, including one person who praised him as “An officer AND a Gentle-man.”

The photo shows the of-ficer kneeling beside the man with the boots at his feet. A shoe store is in the background.

The NYPD Facebook page on Thursday posted a comment from DePrimo saying, “I didn’t think any-thing of it,” and updated it

with a photo of DePrimo taken in 2011.

“I have these size 12 boots for you, they are all-weath-er. Let’s put them on and take care of you,” Foster quoted DePrimo as saying

to the homeless man.She wrote: “The offi-

cer squatted down on the ground and proceeded to put socks and the new boots on this man. The officer ex-pected NOTHING in return and did not know I was watching.”

Foster, who is a dispatch manager at the Pinal Coun-ty sheriff ’s office, said she’s worked in law enforcement for 17 years and has never been more impressed.

“His presentation of hu-man kindness has not been lost on myself or any of the Arizona law enforcement officials with whom this story has been shared,” Foster wrote on Facebook. She said she never got the officer’s name.

NYPD officer’s kindness sparks online sensation

I have these size 12 boots for you, they are all-weather. Let’s put them on and take care of you.

Iola wrestlers hit the matsBy RICHARD LUKEN

richard@iolaregister.comEUREKA — Iola High’s

2012-13 wrestling season got off on the right foot Thursday, as Mustang wrestlers won four of six contested matches against host Eureka High.

Iola’s greatest success came in the heavier weight classes.

GIRARD — In a wondrously ex-asperating display of hustle, grit and missed opportunities, Iola High’s boys and their hosts from Girard battled to the wire and be-yond Friday.

Both teams will be hard pressed to match the intensity and excite-ment of Friday’s season-opener, which went into double overtime before Girard emerged with a 60-54 victory.

Despite the gut-wrenching loss — both teams had multiple op-portunities to claim the win at the end of regulation and the first overtime — Iola head coach Bill Peeper found several silver lin-ings.

“We’ll be better from this in the long run,” Peeper said. “It was a tough way to find how we could handle certain situations. There’s just no way you can prepare for all the things you’ll find in a dou-ble overtime game like this.”

What the team lacked in execu-tion, the Mustangs nearly made up for through sheer determina-tion.

Nowhere was this more evident than in the frenetic final seconds of regulation, with Girard up 41-40 with the ball.

Iola fouled the Trojans’ Austin O’Dell, who missed the free throw, then was whistled for his fifth foul in an ill-advised lunge at a poten-tial rebound.

The Mustangs’ Tyler McIntosh missed the subsequent free throw, which led to another scrum for

the ball, before Mason Coons took possession for Iola. He, too, was fouled as he put up a shot at the buzzer.

With no time left, both teams emptied the floor to leave Coons alone to shoot two free throws, and hundreds of screaming Gi-rard fans hoping to distract him.

Coons’ first shot bounced off the back rim and fell, sending the crowd into delirium.

He calmly took aim at the sec-ond free throw and swished the attempt to tie the game.

“I was just proud of Mason for being able to hit the second shot,” Peeper said.

The Mustangs proved they wouldn’t go easily in the first overtime, despite losing McIntosh and Tyler Powelson to fouls.

Girard led 47-45 when Iola ju-nior Adam Kauth’s steal and la-yup with less than 30 seconds left in the first overtime again knot-ted the score.

The Trojans missed a pair of field goal attempts, the final one bouncing off the rim at the buzz-er, sending the teams to the sec-ond extra session.

Trent Latta connected on a la-yup to start the second overtime, then Kauth hit a pair of free throws to give the Mustangs a 51-50 lead.

But Girard’s Trenton Stolte scored inside with 2:12 left on the clock to give the Trojans a one-point lead.

GIRARD — The Girard High Trojans proved to be most in-hospitable hosts Friday for Iola High’s Fillies.

The Trojans used a stifling press to repeatedly disrupt Iola’s offense, particularly in the second and third quarters, of the season-opener for both teams.

The Trojans turned on the press in the second quarter, outscoring Iola 21-5 in the period to lead 32-12 at the break. The run continued after intermission, with Girard outscoring the Fillies 14-5.

The Trojans took their 46-17 lead and coasted from there in a 62-23 win.

“Their press hurt us, and my gosh, their 3-point shooting to-night was tremendous,” Fillies head coach Becky Carlson said. “They did a good job of prevent-ing us from finding our offense.”

But with a young squad fea-turing only two seniors, Carlson found several potential building blocks to future success.

“We’ve got a lot of team speed,” she said. “We just need to figure out how to put something togeth-er to exploit that.

“And the girls never hung their heads,” Carlson continued. “They continued to fight hard up until

EUREKA — Humboldt High boys basketball avoided some close calls in a matchup against Eureka High, winning the con-test 53-48.

For head coach David Taylor, the key for the game was to see where his teams strengths and weaknesses were for the first game of the season.

It didn’t hurt to edge out a win either.

The Cubs held close with the Tornadoes, the game was tied after the first quarter. Humboldt began to pull ahead in the sec-ond quarter, finishing the half with a 31-26 lead.

That was when Taylor said his team became too comfort-able.

“We didn’t come out playing well in the third quarter, and they did come out playing well,” Taylor said.

The Tornadoes took the lead to start the second half, outscor-ing the Cubs 11-5 in the third period. The Cubs mustered enough points in the fourth for the comeback win, scoring 17.

Taylor said free throws were key for the team in the fourth — they made four out of eight at-tempts.

Tanner McNutt led the scor-ing for the Cubs with 17 points. Noah Thornbrugh was close

behind with 14 points, eight re-bounds, three steals and two blocks.

As a team, the Cubs shot 51 percent from the field 8 for 14 from the free throw line. The team gave up the ball 10 times on turnovers.

PARSONS — Iola Middle School’s girls lost a pair of heart-breakers Thursday, dropping the seventh- and eighth-grade contests by a combined four points.

The eighth-graders fell to 6-2 on the season with a 27-24 loss to Parsons. The sev-enth-graders, meanwhile, lost a 24-23 decision to fall to 3-7.

“The girls played hard and gave themselves a chance to win,” Pony head coach Marty Taylor said.

Iola led the eighth-grade contest 7-3 after one period, 11-10 at halftime and 19-18 after three quarters before Parsons took the lead down the stretch.

“We let their physical play bother us and made some bad decisions with the ball,” Taylor said, “but overall, it was a good effort. The girls never quit.”

Sydney Wade’s 3-point at-tempt at the buzzer “was a good look that just missed,” Taylor said.

Lexi Heslop led Iola with eight points and five rebounds. Riley Murry added seven points and five boards. Wade had five points, five assists and two rebounds. Toni Macha grabbed seven rebounds to go with four points.

The seventh-grade con-test was just as close. Par-sons led 7-6 after one quar-ter before Iola tied the score 12-12 at the break. The game remained tied 18-18 after three.

Eliza Hale scored 14 points with four rebounds, while Colbi Riley had seven points and one rebound. Scout Rush had two points an four boards. Katie Bauer pulled in eight rebounds.

“Parsons tried to take away Colbi, and Eliza stepped up and did a great job,” Taylor said.

Iola rolled past Parsons 12-3 in the B team matchup.

Kayla Underwood scored eight points and Brook Storrer four for the Ponies.

“Kayla really stepped up and had a nice game to-night,” Taylor said.

The teams are in Burling-ton today for a tournament.

the end.”Iola played evenly with

Girard through much of the first quarter. Addie Haar connected on a three-point play to put Iola up 3-1 before the Trojans rattled off six consecutive points. The string was broken by a pair of free throws by Em-ery Driskel, followed by another Haar bucket to tie the score at 7-7.

But a 3-pointer by Gi-rard’s Hadyn Herlocker gave the Trojans a 10-7 lead, triggering the sec-ond-quarter outburst.

Iola committed 22 turn-overs on the night, many coming in the second pe-riod. The Fillies connected on only a single field goal in the quarter, a bucket by Driskel with about 5 min-utes left in the half.

Haar scored nine points and pulled in seven re-bounds to lead Iola. Driskel added five rebounds and

two assists. Haar, Driskel and Emma Sigg each had two steals.

Herlocker was a mon-ster for Girard, pouring in 25 points. Carly Heatherly added 15.

Iola fell in junior varsity action 33-21. Jo Lohman paced the Fillies JV with eight points, followed by Driskel with four. Shelby Reno, Ashlie Shields and Endicott scored two points each. Sigg had a point.

Girard won the fresh-man contest 50-40. Individ-ual statistics for Iola were unavailable.

next possession did everything but drop, hit-ting both side of the rim before rattling out.

Girard corralled the rebound and never trailed again.

The teams battled back and forth through the first half before Coons took control, scoring 12 points in the final six minutes before intermis-sion to give the Mustangs a 27-24 lead.

“Mason is primed to do some big things for us this year, if he keeps working hard in prac-tice,” Peeper said.

The Mustangs then held Girard scoreless for the final 4:16 of the third period, with McIn-tosh scoring five straight points for Iola. Coons’ layup late in the period gave Iola a 35-30 cushion.

But several empty possessions early in the fourth quarter allowed Girard to reclaim the lead. The Trojans out-scored Iola 9-2 to take a 39-37 lead. Coons hit a free throw with 1:39 on the clock and McIntosh scored with 40 seconds left to return the lead to Iola, 40-39. Girard’s Kody Grilz scored from inside to push Girard on top 41-40 and set up the scintil-lating final moments of regulation.

Coons had another in-side shot rattle out after Girard took the lead for the final time. And ear-lier in the first overtime, a Coons 3-pointer was negated after Peeper had called timeout from the sideline a split second be-fore he released the shot.

“I felt horrible,” Peeper said. “There are things we can work on, but the guys showed a lot of heart. You can’t fault their effort. We only had two players with any real varsity experience be-fore tonight.”

Coons led Iola with 18 points and five rebounds, followed by Latta with 12 points, three steals and two assists.

Taylor said he was happy to see the way the team played overall, and they learned some useful things about themselves.

“I thought it was pretty good for the first game,” Taylor said. “You never really know what you’re going to get.”

“Eureka is a solid team and they run their stuff well. We didn’t run our offense very well to-night.”

He said neither team responded well to a full-court press, and the Cubs needed to learn to slow down their offense and give it time to work.

The Cubs will host Uniontown on Tuesday in their preseason tour-nament.

UNIONTOWN — Mar-maton Valley High’s girls basketball team came out on top in a heated match against Uniontown on Fri-day night, connecting on some key baskets in the fourth quarter.

The Wildcats held close with their opponent, be-fore putting the win out of reach for Uniontown with a 48-40 victory.

“If the ball was on the

floor, we were after it,” coach Kent Houk said of his girls’ effort, “They re-ally hustled for the whole game.”

The Wildcats were out-scored by the Eagles 10-6 in the first quarter, but edged out a lead in every quarter to follow. They scored 17 points in the fourth quar-ter, with some key free throws from Kacie Shad-den towards the end of the

game.It seemed free throws

were the saving grace for the Wildcats. They gar-nered 22 of their points from 39 attempts at the line. The Eagles only brought in five points on free throws, with 12 attempts.

Kaylee Boyd dominated from the floor, scoring 22 points and eight steals. Shadden and Kaitlin Ens-minger contributed nine

points each in the contest. The hustle on defense

was led by center Emily Meiwes, who brought down 15 rebounds for the Wild-cats.

Defensively, Houk said the girls have work to do before heading into their preseason tournament next week — their first-round op-ponent is Northeast High.

“The defense was lacking tonight,” Houk said. “They

weren’t really making cuts off of the screen.”

Overall, Houk said the girls held the press well throughout the evening and came down with rebounds on defense in some key mo-ments.

Marmaton Valley girls win opener over Uniontown

UNIONTOWN — Marma-ton Valley High boys lost in a heartbreaker Friday night to Uniontown’s squad by some key free throws in the fourth quarter.

The Eagles took the con-test 32-31 over the Wildcats. Late in the fourth quarter the Wildcats held a 31-30

lead, until a stolen pass led to a foul and two made free throws from the Eagles for the win.

“I thought we played well, we just didn’t execute on offense and we missed some easy layups,” Head Coach Tim Stinnett said.

The game was close through all four quarters.

The Wildcats held a one-point lead over the Eagles after three quarters. How-ever, a poor offensive show-ing in the fourth quarter gave Uniontown the chance to come from behind.

Junior Chance Steven-son led the scoring for the Wildcats with nine points, followed by senior Nathan

Smart with eight. Smart also led the team in re-bounds, bringing down five.

Stinnett cited some “jit-ters” that led to some poor offensivee play for the first game of the season. He said the players were hesitant on offense and held back when shooting the ball, which he attributed to a lack of expe-rience in game-time situa-tions. The team turned over the ball 16 times.

Overall, the Wildcats

only landed 13 buckets from the field on 38 attempts, 32 percent. They scored four points from the line on nine attempts.

Stinnett said he hopes to remedy the “passive” atti-tude with his team, before they play Northeast High in their preseason tourna-ment on Tuesday.

“It should be a very close game,” Stinnett said. “We lost by two to Northeast last year.”

COLONY — South-ern Coffey County High grabbed an early lead against Crest High Thurs-day evening on a 3-pointer by Aaron True.

The rest of the first quar-ter was all Lancers.

Crest responded to the 3-0 deficit by scoring 19 straight points before the Titans could score again, at the buzzer.

The Lancers turned the 19-5 lead into a 58-27 win in the sea-son-opener for both squads.

Crest (1-0) heads to Hum-boldt next week for a pre-season tournament. South-ern Coffey County (0-1) is in the Yates Center Wildcat Winter Classic.

“Some teams you need to slow down,” Lancer coach Travis Hermreck said. “With this team, we need to speed up.”

Crest did just that, con-verting turnovers into fast-break opportunities and hot 3-point shooting by Kyle Hammond, Jordan Mor-

ton and Brock Ellis. The trio accounted for seven of Crest’s eight 3-pointers on the night.

Southern Coffey County stayed within shouting dis-tance, 31-17, at the break, before Crest turned on the jets once again in the third quarter. A 20-4 run put the Lancers out of sight, 51-21.

Hammond poured in 21 points to go with five as-sists and three steals to pace Crest. Morton added 15 points and four assists.

Ellis had 11 points, five assists. Jesse Boone led the Lancers with eight re-bounds.

Crest was hot from the field, hitting on 8 of 19 3-pointers (42 percent) and 13 of 25 (52 percent) from 2-point range. The Lancers were 8 of 9 from the free throw line.

Aaron True’s 13 points led Southern Coffey Coun-ty, including three buckets from 3-point range. Walker

McCoy 41 seconds into the match.

Misenhelter, 182-pound junior, pinned Eureka’s Chris Ray 59 seconds into his match. Misenhelter’s success was keyed by a double-leg takedown, an unusual move for heavier wrestlers, Iola wrestling coach Brad Carson said.

“I was giving him a hard time about it,” Carson said. “Usually, our bigger wrestlers don’t shoot for double-leg (takedowns). But Bryce is a good wres-tler. We expect he’ll be good for us all year long.”

Colborn’s pin came mo-ments after he rolled Mc-Coy onto the mat.

The move was almost too powerful, as the mo-mentum from the roll briefly put McCoy on top before Colborn quickly re-gained command.

“Trey gathered himself and did well,” Carson said. “He has a lot of strength and power.”

Garber, a 170-pound freshman, quickly as-sumed the upper hand against Dustin Gibson. Garber led 11-2 on points

before pinning Gibson with 26.9 seconds left in the second period.

Cody Conner, 145-pound junior, had the shortest night of the Iola wrestlers. He took all of 38 seconds to pin Eureka’s Dakota Cline.

“Andrew and Cody both did a great job,” Carson said. “Everything hap-pened so fast tonight with all of the pins.”

THE PROCEEDINGS went quickly. Only six of a possible 14 matches were contested, and all were de-cided by pins.

Officially, Iola was cred-ited with 42 points while Eureka scored 18. The Mus-tangs received six points each for Colborn, Misen-helter, Garber and Conner, and six points each for Zeph Larney, Travis Rieske and Stephen McDonald, who won by forfeit.

Larney, a senior, was un-opposed in the 152-pound division. Rieske, a junior, was unopposed in the 170-pound division. Mc-Donald, a senior, was un-opposed at 220 pounds.

Trevor Tomlinson, a 113-pound freshman, was

pinned by Eureka’s Casey Gar-ner 72 seconds into the match. Kaleb Mock, a 132-pound sophomore, was pinned by Eu-reka’s Chuck Schmidt at the 59-second mark.

“Kaleb fought hard,” Carson said. “The kid he went up against is a good wrestler, and he got caught in a bad position. With Trevor, we wanted to get a good look at him to see how he would react.”

Eureka also claimed one victory by forfeit, while four other weight classes had no qualifiers on either squad.

“I’m pleased with our upper weight classes,” Iola wrestling coach Brad Carson said. “We’re really strong up there.”

Iolan Brice Aiello, a 145-pound freshman, made quick work of Eureka’s Jared Jones in a junior varsity exhibition, pin-ning his opponent 32 sec-onds into the match. The JV match was not counted among varsity scores.

Iola is in Caney today for an invitational. The Mus-tangs are in Garnett next Saturday for the Anderson County Invitational.

COLONY — Jeff True found his Southern Coffey County High girls squad in unfamiliar territory Thurs-day evening against their old rivals from Crest High.

While the Lady Lancers have struggled in recent years, SCC has been among the most competitive class 1A teams in the state. Quite often, Southern Coffey County grabbed an early lead and coasted to the win.

But Crest was having none of that Thursday.

The squads were tied af-ter three periods, 29-29, be-fore the Lady Titans scored seven straight points to start the fourth quarter.

They held onto that ad-vantage down the stretch, outscoring Crest 15-3 in the fourth quarter, in a 44-32 win.

The Lady Titan win comes in the season-opener for both squads. Southern Coffey County heads to Yates Center Monday to be-gin play in the Wildcat Win-ter Classic. Crest will be in

Humboldt for its preseason tournament.

“It was good to get the first win of the season,” True said. “The girls played hard all four quarters. I was pleased with how the girls finished strong.”

Crest coach Ben Vaughn was equally pleased with

his team’s effort.“We fought until the end,”

he said, adding he was im-pressed with his team’s en-ergy and leadership.

Southern Coffey Coun-ty’s post players, 5-11 se-nior Sarah Webb and 6-foot junior Breanna Isch, led the way for the Lady Ti-tans with 15 and 12 points. Martyna Hegwald added 10 points.

Crest senior Kurston Gil-liland had her moments inside as well to pace Crest with 10 point. Madison Cov-ey followed with eight.

By MARIA SUDEKUMAssociated Press

DEARBORN, Mo. (AP) — Cindy Hill, a laid-off of-fice manager who lives in a small town in Missouri, called her husband Thurs-day with urgent news that would change everything: “We won the lottery.”

“What?” he asked.“We won the lottery,” she

repeated. But Mark Hill, a 52-year-old mechanic who works at a meat processing plant, is the kind of person who carefully checks the prices for everything he buys, and he needed proof. This is the “Show-Me State” after all.

He drove to his mother’s house, where his wife was waiting with their quick-pick ticket, and confirmed for himself that the num-bers matched those drawn for a record $588 million Powerball jackpot that they’ll share with an un-known winner who bought a ticket in Arizona.

Missouri lottery officials officially introduced the Hills as winners Friday in front of reporters and townspeople gathered at the high school in Dear-born, which is about 40 miles north of Kansas City. The announcement was not a surprise. The Hills’ name began circulating Thurs-day, soon after lottery offi-cials said a winning ticket had been sold at a Trex

Mart gas station and conve-nience store on the edge of town.

The Hills chose to take their winnings in a lump sum, not annual payments. Lottery officials estimated the cash payment at about $385 million, or about $192.5 million for each ticket.

The oversized novelty check handed to the Hills on Friday was written in the amount of $293,750,000, but Missouri Lottery spokeswoman Susan Goedde said that after tax-es, they will receive about $136.5 million.

“We’re still stunned by what’s happened,” said Cin-dy Hill, 51, who was laid off in June 2010. “It’s surreal.”

The couple have three grown sons and a 6-year-old daughter they adopted from China five years ago. They said they are now considering a second adop-tion with their winnings, and they plan to help other relatives, including their grandchildren and nieces and nephews, pay for col-lege. They’re planning va-

cations, and their daughter, Jaiden, wants a pony. Mark Hill has his eye on a red Ca-maro.

More immediately, they’re preparing for “a pretty good Christmas” and anticipating an onslaught of requests for financial help.

“When it’s that big of a Powerball, you’re going to get people coming out of the woodwork, some of them might not be too sane,” Cindy Hill said. “We have to protect our family and grandkids.”

The jackpot was the sec-ond-largest in U.S. history and set off a nationwide buying frenzy, with tickets at one point selling at near-ly 130,000 per minute. The other winning ticket was sold at 4 Sons Food Store in Fountain Hills near Phoe-nix. No one has come for-ward with it yet, lottery of-ficials said.

Before Wednesday’s drawing, the jackpot had rolled over 16 consecutive times without someone hit-ting the jackpot.

Missouri couple wins $588 million

We’re still stunned by

what’s hap-pened. It’s sur-real.

Associated PressPAULSBORO, N.J. (AP)

— A freight train derailed Friday on a railroad bridge that has had problems be-fore, toppling tanker cars partially into a creek and causing a leak of hazard-ous gas that was blamed for sickening dozens of people, authorities said.

Members of the Nation-al Transportation Safety Board arrived in New Jer-sey on Friday afternoon to investigate. They will try to determine whether the derailment was caused by a problem with the bridge or if the derailment was to blame for the bridge’s par-tial collapse.

A delicate operation lies ahead, as a huge crane was being brought from New York Harbor to pick up the dangling tanker cars.

The accident happened just after 7 a.m. when a train with two locomo-tives, 83 freight cars and a caboose made its way from Camden to the industrial town of Paulsboro, just across the river from Phil-adelphia International Airport.

Cars from a train op-erated by CSX went off the rails on a swing-style bridge, owned by Conrail, over Mantua Creek.

Seven cars derailed, in-cluding two box cars on stable ground and five on the bridge. NTSB chair-man Deborah Hersman said four tankers were par-tially in the creek.

One tanker contain-ing 25,000 gallons of vinyl chloride was sliced open in the accident and some of the gas spewed into the air, while the rest turned into

a solid and settled into the bottom of the tanker.

People who live nearby said the air was smoky in the morning. Doug Ricotta was working in his bakery when he heard a loud sound. “Next came a smell, kind of sweet — not a healthy smell,” he said. He stayed in his business and kept baking, though one catering order had to be canceled because roads into and out of town were closed for a few hours.

Breathing vinyl chlo-ride, which is used to make the common plas-tic PVC, can make people dizzy or sleepy. Breathing very high levels can cause someone to pass out, and breathing extremely high levels can cause death. Most of the vinyl chloride is gone from the body one day after being breathed in.

More than 70 people were treated at Underwood-Memorial Hospital, most complaining of breathing problems, burning eyes or scratchy throats, said spokeswoman Karen Urba-niak. She said 11 arrived by ambulance, and the rest walked in. More than 60 were discharged by late afternoon, and the hand-ful that remained were in stable condition.

Residents of Paulsboro, West Deptford and East Greenwich Township were told to remain indoors early Friday before an all-clear was given. One resi-dent walked through town Friday morning wearing a gas mask.

By late morning, state Department of Environ-mental Protection spokes-man Larry Hajna said that

sensors were not detecting the chemical at the site.

Tom Butts, the chief of emergency management for Gloucester County, said it would take at least a day to get the large crane to the site to pick up the dam-aged cars. The recovery work was expected to take place only during daylight hours and it was not clear

how long it would take.The bridge usually sup-

ports at least three major trains each day serving re-fineries and other custom-ers in an industrial area along the Delaware River. It was rebuilt after it buck-led in August 2009 and when nine cars on a coal train detailed. Officials at-tributed that accident to bridge misalignment.

State Senate President Stephen Sweeney, whose district includes Pauls-boro, said he had been told that complaints had been made in recent weeks about noise coming from the bridge and that Con-rail was looking into it. But he said he didn’t have any details.

At a news conference, Conrail spokesman John Enright said that the com-pany is concerned with safety and cooperating with authorities, but he would not take any ques-tions.

Derailment tips tankers, sickens dozens

Next came a smell, kind of sweet — not a healthy smell.

Associated PressWASHINGTON (AP) —

President Barack Obama could name his next defense secretary in December, far sooner than expected and perhaps in a high-powered package announcement with his choice for secre-tary of state, several senior administration officials tell The Associated Press.

The personnel moves, cou-pled with O b a m a ’ s c o m i n g choice for a new lead-er of the Central In-telligence A g e n c y, will be viewed by U.S. allies and en-emies alike as signal of how he will pursue national secu-rity in a second term. All of his choices will be subject to Senate confirmation, which itself is a significant factor in his decisions.

The top names under consideration for defense secretary are former Re-publican Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, former top Pentagon official Michele Flournoy, Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton Carter and Democratic Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts. Among those, Kerry is seen as desiring the secretary of state’s job more.

While Obama has made no final decisions on Cabi-net vacancies, announce-ments could come as soon as next week.

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has made clear he did not intend to stay for a second term but he has never publicly discussed the timing of his depar-ture, widely thought to be down the road in 2013. Yet Obama’s thinking on Pa-netta’s replacement has quietly advanced, aided by a strong list of candidates, officials said.

One senior U.S. official said Panetta is expected to stay on the job at least through the Jan 21 inau-guration ceremony for Obama, another sign that the president is close to naming a new defense chief. The officials spoke on condition of anonym-ity because they were not authorized to publicly dis-cuss internal White House thinking.

Obama defense pick couldcome soon

DAILY CRYPTOQUOTES - Here’s how to work it:

Sudoku is like a crossword puzzle, but uses numbers instead of words. The puzzle is a box of 81 squares, subdivided into 3x3 cubes of 9 squares each. Some squares are filled in with numbers. The rest should be filled in by the puzzler.Fill in the blank squares allowing the numbers 1-9 to appear only once in every row, once in ev-ery column and once in every 3x3 box. One-star puzzles are for begin-ners, and the difficulty gradually increases through the week to a very chal-lenging five-star puzzle.

How to deal with edema in the legsDear Drs. Donohue and

Roach: My wife, 77 years old, suffers from severe ede-ma in both of her legs. She is a type 2 diabetic. During a recent hospital stay, her heart, liver and kidneys all checked out fine. She had an ultrasound performed on her legs, and had no blood clot. We have had three doctors tell her the only thing that can be done to reduce the swelling is to wear compression hose and keep her legs elevated, but to be blunt, it “ain’t wor-kin’.” Are there medicines, surgery or something else that can be done? — R.H.

Answer: Edema is swell-ing, and it’s a very common finding in the legs, particu-larly as we get older. Fluid retention occurs when the forces pushing fluid out (mostly vein pressure) are higher than the forces keep-ing fluid in (mostly by pro-teins, which keep the fluid inside the veins).

You have mentioned three common causes. In heart failure, the heart is weak and unable to effec-tively pump all the blood needed by the body. This causes fluid to “back up.” Kidneys filter the blood to remove waste products and retain proteins, and

they can cause edema by letting too much of the pro-tein out. The liver can fail to make enough protein to keep the fluid in veins. But in your wife’s case, as in most people, none of these is the issue. So, what is?

Most commonly, the prob-lem is leakage through the capillary walls. Veins have valves, but if these valves leak, then that increases edema flow into tissues. With time, the vessels are damaged further and fluid stays in the tissue longer. For the majority of people, the lymphatic system will suck up the extra fluid, es-pecially when the legs are raised at bedtime. By morn-ing, the extra fluid in the legs is gone. This is not the case with your wife.

There is no cure. Diuret-ics like Lasix don’t work for more than a few days. Sur-gery tends to make it worse. But support stockings and elevation are helpful, and

so is exercise. Support stockings need to be the ap-propriate size and strength, and that means careful measurement and possibly custom-made stockings. Elevation needs to take place at least three times a day, and the legs should be raised above the heart. This is more than propping your feet on a chair; your wife must lie down. And ex-ercise uses muscles to take fluid out of the legs and bring it back to the circula-tion.

Finally, a supplement called horse chestnut ex-tract has been shown to be helpful; however, my expe-rience with it in my own patients has been less than spectacular.

Dear Drs. Donohue and Roach: Could you please print something about li-chen planus? Does it even-tually kill you, or do you die from scratching yourself to death from the disease? —

T.Y.Answer: No, lichen pla-

nus doesn’t usually kill you. Nobody really knows where it comes from, but it seems to be another auto-immune disease. It causes a raised, purple or red rash, in the mouth (or other mu-cous membranes) or on the body. Mouth lesions can be painful, but the rash on the body can be, as you have suggested, quite itchy. For-tunately, there are effective treatments for almost ev-eryone, which may include topical creams and medica-tions by mouth. Ultravio-let light also is sometimes used. Most cases go away in 18 months to two years.

A dermatologist is the right person to see for symptoms of lichen planus.

Drs. Donohue and Roach regret that they are unable to answer individual let-ters, but will incorporate them in the column when-ever possible. Readers may write the doctors or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Readers also may order health newslet-ters from www.rbmamall.com.

CAIRO — Egypt awoke to fresh protests Friday against the draft of a new constitution and a presi-dent who refuses to rein in his power after more than a week of unrest, economic tumult and searing politi-cal division.

President Mohammed Morsi is defending his ex-panded power and a much-criticized proposed consti-tution as necessary to hold parliamentary elections and advance Egypt’s politi-cal transition. But opposi-tion groups accuse Morsi and his Muslim Brother-hood of pushing an author-itarian agenda that lacks bold visions to inspire an Arab world undergoing great change.

Tens of thousands of demonstrators in Tahrir Square found new outrage after the Islamist-led con-stitutional assembly, in a rushed session, approved a draft charter just after dawn. The proposal could go to a national referendum as early as mid-December, despite complaints from opposition leaders that the

document edges the nation closer to Islamic law and does not represent all Egyp-tians.

“I didn’t sleep in the streets of Tahrir in the past to have a constitution

cooked up by one segment of society,” said Ahmed Saeed, a business owner. “This is too much. If this constitution is passed, Egypt will become a Broth-erhood nation.”

Protests follow approval of draft constitution

TOPEKA — The federal official in charge of review-ing 1115 Medicaid waiver requests sat in on an hour-long conference call today to hear Kansans’ views on Gov. Sam Brownback’s pro-posed Medicaid makeover plan.

Only about 20 people had time to comment but none of them expressed sup-port for KanCare, which would move virtually all the state’s 380,000 Medicaid beneficiaries into managed care plans run by three in-surance companies.

Most people who called in questioned the need for KanCare and expressed concern that they or fam-ily members would lose services or their case man-agers. Others called for a delay, saying the program’s planned Jan. 1 launch date would come too soon.

Vikki Wachino, director of the children and adults health programs group at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, in rare public comments about KanCare, said CMS had asked Kansas officials to organize today’s call so she and other CMS officials could hear public response to the state’s preparations in anticipation of an up-coming decision from CMS on Kansas’ waiver request. She didn’t say when the de-

cision would come, but hint-ed it could be soon.

“We asked them to do that now at this t i m e . . . s o we can de-cide where we go from h e r e , ” W a c h i n o said dur-ing the teleconfer-ence introductions. “We’ve spent a lot of intensive and thoughtful time with the state on their proposal and have heard from them loud and clear their desire to move on a Jan. 1 start date. And we would like to make the decision soon whether that time frame is the right time frame for Kansas and whether the alterna-tive of not moving forward on that timeframe would create transition implica-tions of their own. So I re-ally invite you on this call to share your thoughts and concerns.”

‘Listen-only mode’Wachino said no more

after her introductory re-marks, during which she noted that she and other CMS officials on the call were in “listen-only mode.”

Kari Bruffett, director of the division of Health Care Finance at the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, said earlier in the day during a sepa-

rate teleconference with Medicaid providers that she expected CMS to deliver a decision on the state’s Kan-Care request “within a mat-ter of days, not weeks.”

CMS officials did not par-ticipate in the earlier tele-conference.

If federal officials were to weigh only the public comments about KanCare, both during today’s call and those posted on the CMS website after the state filed its application, the request would be rejected or at least postponed. Response in those venues has been over-whelmingly critical of the plan or its implementation.

But Brownback officials have said their intention is to improve care coordina-tion and services for the state’s Medicaid enrollees without cutting rates paid to Medicaid providers and all while saving the state and federal governments $1 billion or more over the next five years.

Federal officials consider public comments in their reviews of 1115 waiver re-quests, but their decisions aren’t necessarily dictated by them.

Former Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, now secretary of the U.S. De-partment of Health and Hu-man Services, has ultimate say-so on 1115 applications under federal law. Those waivers are intended to en-

courage state “demonstra-tion” projects that could show how to improve the Medicaid program perhaps in ways useful to the fed-eral government or to other states.

‘Why fix it?’A woman who identi-

fied herself only as “Gloria from Garden City” said she was pleased with the cur-rent system and asked “why fix it, if it ain’t broke.”

Many others expressed similar sentiments, saying they or family members were well served by their current case managers and were concerned they would lose long-standing relation-ships with them once the managed care companies take over.

The majority of the call-ers said they or their family members were physically disabled.

Others expressed con-cerns about the way the transition to KanCare is be-ing handled.

Suzanne Wikle of Kansas Action for Children said the advocacy group was wor-ried that current Health-Wave enrollees would be confused by the rebranding of the program as KanCare. HealthWave, which is al-ready handled by managed care companies, provides services to children and pregnant women from low-income homes. The new pro-

gram would add the elderly, mentally ill and physically disabled on Medicaid into managed care plans run by a new group of companies.

Mitzi McFatrich of Kansas Advocates for Bet-ter Care, which speaks on behalf of nursing home residents, said information about the proposed changes had been lacking in useful detail or was sometimes de-livered in untimely fashion.

Moving too fastSeveral people said the

implementation schedule was too fast given that so few people seem to under-stand the plan and given that many Medicaid pro-viders still haven’t agreed to participate in managed care networks.

One woman said, “I’m pretty concerned there will be some big panic in the first part of the year. I hope

you take into consideration some delays.”

State officials were on hand to respond to some of the remarks but let some pointed ones pass without comment. Mostly they said they wanted to be attentive to people’s concerns and thanked them for calling.

“We were told we had to send out notices to con-sumers saying that as of Dec. 31 we could no lon-ger provide case manage-ment services (because those duties will transfer to the managed care com-panies),” said one caller. “What happens if this doesn’t pass and KanCare has already shut down nu-merous businesses? Where are the consumers sup-posed to turn?”

That question met si-lence until the conference call operator moved on to the next caller.

We are told we had to send out notices to consumers saying that as of Dec. 31 we could no longer provide case management services (because those duties will trans-fer to the managed care companies). What happens if this doesn’t pass and KanCare has already shut down numerous business-es? Where are the consumers supposed to turn?

Kansas in briefVote certified amid debate on voter ID law

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas officials have cer-tified the results of this month’s general election amid a debate over a law requiring voters to show photo identification at the polls.

The Board of Canvass-ers met briefly Thursday and unanimously ap-proved figures provided by county election offi-cials. The board consists of Secretary of State Kris Kobach, Attorney General Derek Schmidt and Gov. Sam Brownback, who sent his chief counsel.

Kobach defended the state’s photo ID law, noting that 838 Kansans cast pro-visional ballots because they lacked the proper ID at the polls Nov. 6. That’s out of 1.18 million voters who cast ballots.

Critics note that Kobach pushed the law as a way to combat election fraud. Kobach acknowledged Thursday that his office has received no reports of potential election fraud yet this year.

Legislator notes OT at juvenile center

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A state senator is raising con-cerns about the overtime logged by workers at the Kansas Juvenile Correc-tional Complex in Topeka because of staff shortages.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reported Thurs-day that employees of the juvenile prison worked more than 14,500 hours of overtime from July to No-vember.

Republican Sen. Pete Brungardt, of Salina, says the problem is related to the state budget and the in-ability to hire enough staff to cover duties.

Terri Williams, the act-ing commissioner of the Juvenile Justice Author-ity, told lawmakers the agency has struggled to retain current staff and find enough qualified ap-plicants who can pass background checks to fill 17 vacancies.

A posting on the state website for job vacancies says the starting wage for juvenile corrections offi-cers is $13.61 an hour.

Ugly Sweater Run for downtown Lawrence

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — It’s time to pull out those rhinestone-covered Christ-mas sweaters and — if pos-sible — grow a mustache.

A 5K race called the Ugly Sweater Run takes place at 2 p.m. today in down-town Lawrence. Near the starting line at Watson Park there will be snow machines, reindeer games and holiday music.

Hot chocolate will flow freely during the race. Af-ter the run, there will be awards for things like the best mustache and sweater. Adult beverages also will be available.

Participants are urged to bring a toy to donate to Toys for Tots.

Social media eyed as tool to curb disease

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — A research team at Kansas State University is looking at the usefulness of social media in curbing the spread of infectious diseases.

The researchers are studying whether a well-timed post from a public authority or trusted per-son could help as much as flu shots, hand-washing or sneezing into an elbow.

Researchers are gather-ing information about hu-man behavior and identi-fying the various groups such as teachers or public officials that need to be reached through social me-dia.

They’re also exploring the best way of distribut-ing information using so-cial media.

Some findings are ex-pected to be presented next month at a scientific con-ference. The results sug-gest that not only vaccinat-ing critical individuals but also facilitating the spread of health information helps suppress infectious diseases.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Over-all U.S. drought conditions have worsened for the sec-ond week in a row, revers-ing a recent easing in dry conditions in some areas and keeping the country mired in its worst drought in decades with no imme-diate relief expected for key Plains farming states.

The weekly U.S. Drought Monitor report released Thursday shows that 62.7 percent of the land in the lower 48 states was in some form of drought as of Tuesday, up from 60.1 percent the previous week. The area in extreme or ex-ceptional drought — the two worst classifications — also rose, to 20.12 per-cent from last week’s 19.04 percent.

Before the recent down-turn, overall conditions had gradually eased over five weeks, offering short-lived encouragement to some of the hardest-hit ar-

eas.Wednesday’s update

showed that the dry condi-tions intensified sharply in Oklahoma, where 90.5 percent of the state is in extreme or exceptional drought — a spike of 19 percentage points. The amount of South Dakota in those two classifications rose more than 8 percent-age points to 63.32 percent, reflecting the fact that rain-fall from south-central Ne-braska northward to mid-South Dakota has been less than 25 percent of normal over the past three months.

Little changed in much of the rest of middle America, where 96 percent of Nebraska and nearly 78 percent of Kansas remain gripped by extreme or exceptional drought, the U.S. Department of Agri-culture’s Eric Luebehusen wrote in Wednesday’s up-date.

The stubborn drought isn’t likely to relax its grip any time soon, with light

showers expected in the Mississippi Valley and southern Texas later this week, Luebehusen wrote. “Otherwise, dry, warm conditions are expected across the remainder of the contiguous U.S., af-fording most drought ar-eas little — if any — relief over the next five to seven

days,” he said.After a summer in which

farmers watched helpless as their corn dried up in the heat and their soybeans became stunted, many are now worrying about their winter wheat.

Most of that crop has emerged, though the parched conditions contin-ue to punish it. Twenty-six percent of those plantings are considered in poor or very poor shape, twice the status from the same time last year, the USDA said this week.

In Kansas, the nation’s top wheat producer, 97 percent of the latest crop has germinated, but one-quarter of those plantings are considered poor or very poor. The situation is far worse in South Dakota, where intensifying condi-tions have allowed just 60 percent of its winter wheat to emerge, with nearly two-thirds of that crop rated in those two worst classifica-tions.

Drought worsens after weeks of improvement

Otherwise, dry, warm conditions are expected across the re-mainder of the contiguous U.S., affording most drought areas little — if any — relief over the next five to seven days.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — The Justice Department has asked a federal judge to order a Kansas abortion op-ponent to answer the gov-ernment’s questions about her relationship with the man convicted in the mur-der of abortion provider George Tiller, including compelling her to admit to statements she made to The Associated Press in which she said she admired the then-accused killer.

The request comes amid legal wrangling in a civil lawsuit the Justice Depart-ment filed against Angel Dillard last year under a federal law aimed at pro-tecting access to reproduc-tive services. The govern-ment has accused Dillard of sending a threatening letter to a Wichita doctor, who was training to offer abortion services in the wake of Tiller’s 2009 death.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Kenneth Gale on Thurs-

day gave Dillard’s attorney, Donald McKinney, until Wednesday to respond to the government’s motion for a court order that would force Dillard to answer the questions. The defense has

said the government’s in-quiries are irrelevant, with McKinney repeatedly balk-ing at the government’s demands for information and arguing they violate Dillard’s First Amendment freedoms of association, free exercise of religion and free speech.

The attorney also has ob-jected to the quotation, first reported in a 2011 AP story, calling it “inaccurate, tak-en out of context, and/or edited,” according to court records.

The AP, which recorded the telephone interview with Dillard, stands by the accuracy of its reporting.

The civil case is sched-uled for trial in October 2013.

“Defendant has a re-lationship with the man convicted of Dr. Tiller’s murder, Scott Roeder,” the government argued in its motion, filed earlier this month. “Defendant has publicly supported Roeder and his actions, visits him

in prison and corresponds with him. It is this relation-ship — this context — that informs Defendant’s in-tent.”

The government argued in its motion filed earlier this month that it is en-titled to explore Dillard’s relationship with Roeder, noting that the threatening January 2011 letter to Dr. Mila Means referenced Til-ler’s death. Roeder is serv-ing a life sentence for the killing.

Abortions have not been openly performed in Wichita since Tiller, one of the nation’s few late-term abortion providers, was fatally shot in May 2009 as he served as an usher at his Wichita church.

The lawsuit, filed by the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, contends Dillard of Valley Center told Means in the letter that thousands of people from across the United States are already looking into Means’ background.

Feds want answers from Kansas abortion opponent

Defendant has a relationship with the man convicted of Dr. Tiller’s murder. Defendant has publicly support-ed Roeder and his actions, visits him in prison and corresponds with him. It is this re-lationship — this context — that informs Defen-dant’s intent.

Youth was the hallmark of awards ceremonies commemorating the seasons of NASCAR’s Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series, conducted on Nov. 19 on the Amer-icana Ballroom stage at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel.

The Nationwide champion, for the second straight year, was 25-year-old Ricky Stenhouse Jr., who will make the move to Sprint Cup next year. The Truck cham-pion, James Buescher, is only 22.

Stenhouse was just the sixth driver to win consecutive Nationwide titles. Buescher became the second-young-est Truck champion. Stenhouse won six races; Buescher won four.

Joe Gibbs Racing, not Stenhouse’s Roush Fenway team, won the Na-tionwide owner championship. JGR, which runs its No. 18

with several drivers behind the wheel, has won the owner title four times in the past five seasons.

Turner Motors-ports, fielding the champion’s Chevy Silverado, claimed the owner title in Trucks. It was the organization’s fifth year in the series.

Austin Dillon, 22, won Sunoco Rookie of the Year in Na-tionwide competi-tion, becoming the

third driver to be named top rookie in the two auxiliary series. His younger brother Ty, 20, won Rookie of the Year in Trucks. They are the first siblings to win rookie plaudits in Trucks.

Austin and Ty Dillon are the grandsons of prominent NASCAR owner and former driver Richard Childress.

Danica Patrick was named Most Popular Driver in the Nationwide

Series. Nelson Piquet Jr. won the award in the Camping World Truck Series.

Rick Allen and Krista Voda hosted the event, which was scheduled to be aired on the Speed

cable/satellite channel on Nov. 29, from 8 to 10 p.m.

Nationwide, Camping World awards a hitBy Monte DuttonNASCAR This Week

LOOKING TO NEXT SEASON

� The new Sprint Cup cham-pion has enough confidence to be himself. Told some had criticized him for his partying, Brad Keselowski said: “Yeah, I think everybody faces their criticism, no matter what you do. You’re never going to get all of the people to like something that you do. It’s not possible. Someone’s always going to dislike something you do, and you have to roll that off your shoulders and move on. But if you’re true to yourself in the long run, those things will work themselves out. I had fun, and I wanted to show that fun and enjoy it with others. I’m more thrilled that people enjoyed it than I am disappointed (at) questioning my path because someone else didn’t like it.”� For the man who has

everything: Keselowski wants to buy himself a tank. Not an aquarium. A big tank. Military. Goes boom-boom.� Keselowski’s champion-

ship occurred at career start No. 125, the fewest since Jeff Gordon needed 93 races to nail down the first of four titles in 1995.� Roger Penske’s first Cup

championship occurred in his 29th season of competition, encompassing 40 years. Pen-ske’s previous best had been a second with Rusty Wallace in 1993.� No champion had driven

No. 2 since Dale Earnhardt in 1980, when he competed in a Chevy owned by Rod Osterlund.� Possible trivia question in

the future: Who finished second to Keselowski? It was Clint Bowyer, not Jimmie Johnson.� In spite of being the points

runner-up, Bowyer said finishing second to nemesis Gordon the final race left him “frustrated and bummed out.”

VERSUS

Here’s hoping this is one for the ages. Johnson is established as one of the all-time greats, but he’s hardly ready to just fade into the background. Keselowski is the dynamic new kid on the block, but Johnson aspires to win three more championships and set the all-time record. At least for now, they are squarely in each other’s way.

NASCAR This Week’s Monte Dutton gives his take: “Much will change in 2013. Everyone will drive new cars, but Keselowski’s will be a Ford. Can the two keep up with the changes? Likely.”

Dear NASCAR This Week,I think it stinks that NASCAR fined and took

points only from (Jeff) Gordon and not (Clint) Bowyer (at Phoenix). They both should have been fined and lost points. Bowyer has wrecked Gordon many times, and he got a slap on the hand. It’s about time Gordon finally stood up for himself.

And as for the remarks from (Brad) Keselowski and (Michael) Waltrip — they were both uncalled for. They act like they never cause a wreck. I know better. I watch NASCAR every week.

I will root every week for someone who wrecks Bowyer. Who thinks he is Mr. Nice Guy? What a joke! Gordon is one of the cleanest drivers. He never intentionally wrecks anyone. But he finally had enough (good for him) of Bowyer. Gordon has had a lot of bad luck, and Bowyer was most of it.

I finally got rid of my frustration. Thanks for reading my complaints.

Mrs. Joan WilkersonJenison, Mich.

John Clark/NASCAR This WeekNASCAR owner Richard Childress had two grandsons with good years this past season. Austin Dillon won the Sunoco Rookie of The Year in the Nationwide series while Ty Dillon was the top rookie in the Trucks Series.

Brad Keselowski won the Sprint Cup championship in only his third full season at NASCAR’s premier level. For owner Roger Penske, it took 29 seasons to capture stock-car racing’s ultimate honor.

The two will be honored along with the rest of Sprint Cup’s top 10 on Nov. 30 at the Wynn Las Vegas. The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Awards will be broadcast live, beginning at 8 p.m., on the Speed cable/satellite chan-nel, Motor Racing Network radio and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio (Channel 90). Entertainment will be provided by Train, Lifehouse, Natasha Bedingfield, Phillip Phillips and performers from “The Beatles LOVE,” a Vegas stage show.

The awards will be hosted by “America’s Got Talent” judge Howie Mandel. The show is a culmination of Champion’s Week.

Train is a three-time Grammy-winning and multi-plat-inum rock band with some experience with NASCAR audiences. Lead singer Pat Monahan sang the national anthem at the Daytona 500 in February, and the

entire band performed in July at Daytona International Speedway before the Coke Zero 400. The band won the 2011 ASCAP Song of the Year in the pop category for “Hey, Soul Sister.”

Lifehouse, a rock band, and singer-songwriter Natasha Bedingfield will combine for a performance of “Between the Raindrops.

Singer-guitarist Phillips won “American Idol” in May and just released his first album, “The World From the Side of the Moon.”

“The Beatles LOVE” combines “the magic of Cirque du Soleil with the spirit and passion of the Beatles,”

using “high-energy fusions of urban, freestyle dance, acrobatics and fast-

paced athleticism.”Keselowski, 28, is only

the second driver to win the Cup championship after first winning a title in the

Nationwide Series (2010). The first was

Bobby Labonte.Though 12 drivers qualify for NASCAR’s

Chase for the Sprint Cup, only the top 10 are honored at the annual ceremonies. In addition to Keselowski, the drivers to be honored are, in order of finish from second to 10th, Clint Bowyer, Jimmie Johnson, Kasey Kahne, Greg Biffle, Denny Hamlin, Matt Kenseth, Kevin Harvick, Tony Stewart and Jeff Gordon.

Five To WatchBy Monte Dutton | NASCAR This Week

Brad Keselowski’s against-all-odds run to the Sprint Cup championship breathed new life into a Sprint Cup Series landscape in which no one other than Jimmie Johnson or Tony Stewart had won a championship in seven years.

A championship gives Keselowski, 28, a status that

can’t be bought or promoted. He wasn’t merely the champion. He became NASCAR’s man to watch.

There will be others, if for no other reason, because 2013 will be a new year. Everyone knows that Keselowski, Johnson and Stewart — not to mention Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin, Matt Kenseth and the rest — will play major roles in the next season.

Who else will the cameras favor?

CLINT BOWYERSurprise! It was Bowyer, not

Johnson, who finished second to Keselowski. The two are similarly personable and, at times, similarly controversial. Bowyer will un-doubtedly be a popular dark horse when predictions are made regard-ing 2013.

CARL EDWARDSThree times — 2005, ’08, and

’11 — Edwards contended for championships. In each case, he slumped the following year. In each case, he came back part of the way the next and made a title run the third. If the pattern holds, he’ll make the Chase again next year.

RICKY STENHOUSE JR.Stenhouse, with two Nationwide

Series championships in tow, is well-prepared for the big time. Replacing Kenseth at Roush Fen-way isn’t going to be easy. He will probably have his struggles, but few would be surprised to see him in victory lane.

JOEY LOGANOFive years ago, the betting line

would have favored Logano to win a championship ahead of Keselowski. Now, at the well-seasoned age of 22, Logano is Keselowski’s teammate, and the plan is for the two to give Roger Penske a cohesive team as well as a title.

DANICA PATRICKThe evidence suggests she is

far from ready to be a competitive force, but the money is there and she has a full-time Cup ride teaming with Stewart and Ryan New-man. She’s getting better, but the learning curve has to accelerate.
