Jefferson Elementary School’s gym was converted into an archery range dur-ing spring break, so students could receive instruction in the shooting sport.

“It gives them an opportu-nity to do something many of them haven’t done before, and something they can do all of their lives,” said Becky Carlson, physical education instructor.

Archery instruction start-ed Monday and will continue through next week, giving each class ample time to learn how to notch arrows and loose them toward tar-gets.

“The kids love it,” Carl-son added, noting that many become rather proficient at putting arrows in or near the bull’s eye on targets.

This is the second year for

archery at the school. It came about in large measure be-cause of the efforts of Iolan Don Erbert, a master hunter with the bow and board mem-ber of the National Wild Tur-key Foundation.

“I found out about the Na-tional Archery in Schools (NAS) program at a Pope and Young (hunting) conven-tion, and thought it would be

WARDS 1 & 2

By STEVEN [email protected]

You can’t say Bob Shaugh-nessy has a lack of experience of how things work in Iola — and he has experience fixing things.

“I’m all about fixing things,” he said. “I’ve fixed things my en-tire life.”

Shaughnessy, 52, born and raised in Iola, is running for the Iola City Council seat, Sec-ond Ward, along with Beverly Franklin.

“I am running for the coun-cil because I have liked the way they’ve run things recently,” he said. “I’d like to be a part of it.”

S h a u g h -nessy has worked as a r e s i d e n t i a l contractor for 33 years in Iola, which he said gives him the experi-ence to know the strengths and needs of the people of Iola. He said housing and commer-cial development is an essential part of Iola that needs to be ex-panded.

“I could give them (the coun-

Experience is on Shaughnessy’s side


Beverly Franklin faced a tough decision of whether to run for the Iola City Council, but community involvement is something she just couldn’t pass up.

Franklin is running as the incumbent for the council seat in the Second Ward, along with Bob Shaughnessy as the other candidate. The top vote-getter in the ward will serve a four-year term, the other will serve two years.

Her reasoning is simple.“I just enjoy it,” she said. “I

like being involved.”

Franklin, o r i g i n a l l y from Moran, worked as a bank officer in Iola for many years and started doing the books for her father’s contracting business when she was 14 years old. She said her experience with small businesses has given her the insight to give relevant input with the council — and adds to the spectrum of talents. Franklin is a partner of B&J

Franklin errs on the side of involvement

By BOB [email protected]

A merger of Iola and Allen County emergency medical services is Scott Stewart’s fo-cus as his apparent re-election to Iola’s City Council draws near.

He and Nancy Ford, both incumbents, are the only can-didates for the First Ward seat on the council. The candidate drawing the most votes will serve four years, the other two.

“That’s what I’m actively in-volved with,” said Stewart of the proposed merger.

He and Joel Wicoff, lone

c a n d i d a t e for mayor on Tues-day’s ballot, represented the city in a meeting with county com-missioners, with the com-mittee being an outgrowth of two meetings of the full gov-erning bodies.

“We’re currently encourag-ing EMS (county ambulance personnel) and Iola firefight-ers to come up with a plan that they think will work,” Stewart

Proposed merger focus for Stewart


Nancy Ford is busy woman, but not too busy to serve an-other term on the Iola City Council.

An incumbent, Ford is run-ning for a second term in Ward 1, along with incumbent Scott Stewart.

“I was asked by several peo-ple to run for the council,” she said. “Things are going well; I’d like to see things keep go-ing well.”

Ford is public relations di-rector for Allen Community College, and is working on-line on a master’s degree in management. She moved to

Iola nearly 18 years ago when her husband took a job with the Iola Police Department. She said the college PR position is a job that requires her to “wear many hats.”

Her husband, Iola police officer Mike Ford, is work-ing on his master’s degree in criminal justice. Ford has four daughters, Taylor, Madison, McKinley and Reagan.

Taylor lives with her hus-band, a captain in the Army at Fort Drum, and is having her first baby in June. Madison

Ford not too busy for city

ACC focus at ‘See, Hear Iola!’ program

By ALLISON [email protected]

Allen Community College President John Masterson im-pressed community members at the “See, Hear Iola!” program Friday with some of the col-lege’s figures.

In the fall of 2012 there were 2,967 students enrolled at ACC. Of those students 11 percent are local, 85 percent are from other areas in Kansas and 4 percent are out of state.

With enrollment up, ACC is the eighth largest of 19 com-munity colleges in Kansas. ACC has the largest enrollment of the six southeast Kansas com-munity colleges.

Masterson said he still gets questions about the name of the school.

Most Allen Countians re-member the college as Allen County Community College, but a few years back a market-ing company suggested drop-ping county and leaving it as Allen Community College. The marketing company said it was a smart move for promoting it-self because it reaches counties as far and big as Shawnee.

“We’re not ashamed of where we are from,” Masterson said. “I’ve been here all my life.”

ACC has 1,019 students en-rolled in online classes.

Rotarians mull EMSBy BOB [email protected]

Iola Rotarians got a look Thursday at facts and fig-ures involved as Iola and Allen County consider a merger of their ambulance services.

City Administrator Carl Slaugh told members Iola budgeted $1.067 million for fire and ambulance services this year while the county expected to spend $1.385 million.

“It’s pretty good think-ing that combining the two could save money,” Slaugh said.

The two governing bodies met twice to discuss emer-gency medical services and a sub-committee has met once.

Currently the ball is in the employees’ court: Allen County EMS and Iola fire/EMS employees are put-ting together plans for how the two services could be meshed to the satisfaction of both groups, as well as the greater community.

Slaugh said Iola fire/EMS made 275 fire runs in 2012 and answered 901 am-bulance calls. County am-bulances responded 1,282 times during the same 12 months.

The contention is that one service could deal with all ambulance runs and, with Iola employees in-volved, also could deal with

fire calls coming to the Iola station, he said. That was the case for many years when there was one service in the county.

Slaugh asked about 20 Ro-tarians what they thought.

One wondered if jobs would be lost with a merger.

“The proposal is for no jobs to be lost,” at least those that are full time, Slaugh said, with county part-time workers “probably getting cut,” and full-time jobs eventually reduced by attri-tion.

Today, Iola has 19 full-time positions at the fire station, up three from last year because of a federal grant the city received to create three positions for two years. The county has 17 full-time employees, in-cluding nine paramedics, Slaugh said.

He was asked how neigh-boring cities and coun-ties operated services, but

She was born on Nov. 1 7 , 1932, in Spring-er, N.M., t h e d a u g h -ter of Charles Pierson C a r -m e a n and Dorothy May (Meier) Carmean. Eva’s family lived on a ranch near Des Moines, N.M.

“Something we teach on campus is we have to be better than Neosho and Fort Scott, but some-thing we teach online is we have to be better than the world,” Masterson said.

ACC’s revenue in 2012 was $12,338,856 with 41 percent of that coming from the state, 31 per-cent from students, 11 percent locally, and 15 percent from auxiliary sources, such as the bookstore, expanded housing and food ser-vice.

Masterson said ACC’s expansion is still being developed and master planning committees are working on plans that will tend to imme-diate and future ACC needs.

ACC will soon be writ-ing a grant for a possible entrepreneur program at ACC. The program is something ACC has been talking about for a while, and will be mov-ing forward with soon.

IN OTHER news:Loren Korte, owner of

Personal Service Insur-ance, Inc., gave a brief

talk about insurance and changes that may occur with property in-surance.

“I think we will see corrections,” Korte said. “We need to.”

Korte was referring to high premiums, which cause homeowners to spend more money than the market value of a house.

Realtor John Brocker reported that the hous-ing market has been off to a slow start this year but imagines it will pick up in the coming months.

City administra-

tor Carl Slaugh spoke about Iola Fire and EMS services and the Allen County EMS service and the “possible merger of the two.”

Slaugh said he is try-ing to get a feel for the opinions and concerns of the community mem-bers in regard to the pos-sible merger.

“We are trying to figure out a solution,” Slaugh said. “Over time we can always make im-provements.”

The next program will be April 26 at Riverside Park’s New Community Building at 10 a.m.

Homes as well, with daughter Jackie.

She said her experi-ence has shaped the way she makes decisions for the city.

“I’m an honest per-son,” she said. “I’m not one to make rushed deci-sions either.”

A decision that must be made, Franklin said, is how to deal with the city’s water supply and water fund. She said water is-sues are very common across the nation, and Iola must find ways to manage its resources re-sponsibly and efficiently.

“The whole state and the whole nation has a water issue,” Franklin said.

FRANKLIN SAID Iola is lucky to have all of its retail, shopping and local businesses — a luxury that many small commu-nities do not have.

“You can go to other

cities our size, and they don’t have anything like the businesses we have,” she said.

She said the council needs to do everything in its power to help these businesses thrive, in or-der to help the commu-nity grow as it should.

There are tough deci-sions that must be made as a city council member as well, and she believes any candidate must be prepared to face the facts in decision-making.

“You have to have broad shoulders to take

some guff from that,” she said.

She said raising the water rates is an example of a controversial choice the council has made, but it was needed.

“You hate to raise the prices on the taxpayers for anything really.”

The tough decision to run for the council came from Franklin wanting to spend more time with her family. Her husband, Jack, is a local farmer. Jack and Beverly have three daughters — Jen-nifer, Jackie and Jeanine. Jennifer lives in Iowa, Jeanine in Texas, and Jackie is a teacher at McKinley Elementary. Franklin has five grand-children as well.

But, Franklin felt it was worth the time to run again for her council seat.

“I think it is operating very well,” she said. “We have a lot of good people right now.”

H FranklinContinued from A1

said. “I think people who are out there saving lives can get a plan together, one that can be tweaked a little” and find favor with the two governing bodies.

A merger, he added, “would be beneficial for everyone.”

Stewart thinks his sev-eral years experience as a 911 dispatcher gives him

a little more insight, par-ticularly that attention needs to be given to iso-lated areas, such as in the vicinity of Elsmore and Savonburg.

A priority of his would be to “get first respond-ers up to speed, which would give people peace of mind,” where imme-diate response by Iola, Moran or Humboldt am-bulances isn’t possible. “When someone calls for help, they don’t care who comes, just as long as someone does.”

Stewart also is con-cerned about upgrading Iola’s infrastructure — its streets, gas lines and wa-ter mains.

“We’re looking ahead with long-term plans and we have excellent folks in the administration” — ad-ministrator Carl Slaugh, his assistant Corey Schin-stock and City Clerk Rox-anne Hutton — Stewart said. “We’re lucky to have them and all the other city employees. I hear people

talk in other towns about not having that luxury.”

Stewart, 58, was born in Kansas City while his father, George Stewart, worked at a satellite outlet for Iola’s Milne and Mann Tire. The family returned to Iola when he was 14. He graduated from Iola High in 1972 and from Al-len County Community College, with emphasis on journalism, two years later.

He sandwiched two stints with Milne and Mann around a job at E-Kan Fire Equipment, with 12 years of city em-ployment, including the dispatch job, following. He also has worked as Hum-boldt Municipal Court clerk, but isn’t employed full time at the moment.

Elaine Stewart, his wife, teaches family and consumer science at Mar-maton Valley High School, Moran. They have three grown children, Crissy Powell, Eric and Doug.

cil) some ideas of how to turn negative property into positive property,” he said.

The east side of Iola is an area that needs some help with its lots both commercially and resi-dentially, he said. Ways to help could include incentives for homeown-ers and developers.

“Something needs to be done,” he said. “We need to give people a place that is affordable to live in.”

The other issue Shaughnessy said the council needs to face is the aging schools for Iola’s children. He said he is willing to explore the idea of combining the grade schools to cut costs and increase effi-ciency.

Either way, he said he believes the council is in good position to make things happen in 2013.

“The dynamics of the meetings are better,

there is a lot of positiv-ity,” he said. “That’s why I ran for the city coun-cil.”

As for the strengths in Iola, he believes com-munity activism is key to helping a community grow and support itself. He said he has been im-pressed with programs such as Thrive Allen County and the histori-cal society.

“That’s what I like to see,” he said.

He also mentioned the city’s discussions with the county in regard to the EMS merger, which he believes has shown a lot of progress in recent weeks.

“It needs to be re-solved,” Shaughnessy said. “It affects the whole county, not just Iola.”

After living in Iola for 52 years, he said his goal in a public office would be very simple.

“I’d like to see good things happen here. I’d like things to move for-ward.”

recently graduated from Pittsburg State Univer-sity with a degree in psy-chology and is pursuing her master’s degree in Christian counseling at Ecclesia College. McKin-ley, recently married, is attending Pittsburg State as well. Ford’s youngest, who celebrated her 18th birthday Thursday, will graduate from Iola High School in May with in-tentions to go to ACC and then PSU.

“We have a lot going on” Ford said with a laugh.

DESPITE her busy life, Ford said she felt that is was important for

her to run for city coun-cil.

She said there are several current issues that the council needs to address, and she feels she needs to help. The support of Iola’s em-ployees is one of these issues.

“If we want people to stay with the city for a long time, we need to support them,” Ford said. “They can’t cap out on their salary, which a lot of people do.”

She said the city needs to evaluate how the em-ployees’ benefits and sal-aries are handled, in or-der to give them support that is on par with other cities. While they have

strides to make, she said the city is already doing a better job of commu-nicating with their em-ployees and cultivating a spirit of trust.

“I think they already feel better,” she said. “They’ve already got that feeling (trust with the council), they are no longer walking on egg shells.”

This communication has bled over to dealings with the county as well, she said, and that talks about the EMS merger are “making a lot of progress.”

However, she said she feels there are problems that need to be addressed within the city — name-

ly, that of the schools.“That’s a big issue

right now, the build-ings are old,” Ford said. “They can’t keep up with advances in technology.”

She said the council needs to explore the idea of a single campus for Iola schools. She said this possibility could benefit maintenance, transportation and secu-rity of the students.

No matter what deci-sion is made for the city, she believes the council is in a good place to help the people of Iola.

“We need to keep level heads,” she said. “We need to think about the bigger picture, the great-er good.”

didn’t have that infor-mation, other than that Miami County had a merged service of about 20 years standing, as did Lawrence. Slaugh al-lowed research into how others provide ambu-lance service would be good to know.

If a merger occurs, he said structures in Iola now housing ambulanc-es, the county station on North State and Iola fire’s headquarters, like-ly would be kept in use.

Slaugh said, as he did at a recent meeting, con-trol of the service is an issue, a key to whether a merger occurs.

“We have a good sys-tem and people are well-

served,” he added, but that “there’s a lot to be gained by a merger.”

ALLEN COUNTY had one service until 2008 when Iola decided to have its own after the county took full control.

For nearly 30 years Iola’s fire chief was the county ambulance direc-tor and the county pur-chased ambulances and equipment, with Iola firefighters operating units dispatched from Iola, and volunteers op-erating ambulances in Humboldt and Moran.

If a merger does occur, Slaugh said ambulances would continue to be sta-tioned in Humboldt and Moran.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Twice now I’ve tried to get some “headspace,” but can’t seem to find the room.

The idea was to do 10 minutes of meditation for 10 days. Andy Puddicombe, a former Buddhist monk and now co-founder of the online meditation pro-gram, leads what is to be a daily exercise. His British accent helps make the ex-ercise feel somewhat exotic as he instructs participants to let go in an effort to calm the mind and body.

Over two weeks’ time I completed five days of the exercises. Pretty pathetic.

But even in that short time I could see the value of trying to clear the mind of all the chatter going on in my head. An intense focus helps block out the noise.

Which helps me realize why I like to participate in my church’s hand bell choir so much. Participation doesn’t require anything more than being able to count, and with measures containing at the most six beats, I’m up to that. But if the mind wanders, you’re toast — the rest of the choir has kept on playing. That may sound like pressure, but you’d be surprised how often up and down the line people will say, “where are we?” We all know it takes a while to get in the zone.

Practices are scheduled for an hour on purpose. It

takes us 20 minutes or so to visit and let the chronic stragglers show up. It takes another 10 minutes for us all to leave the day behind and direct our focus on the music, leaving us a good 30 minutes to be productive.

At practice’s end I feel positively relaxed and re-juvenated. If I had worries going in, they’ve been bur-ied in a Cynthia Dobrinski rendition.

Of course, the camarade-rie of the group should not be dismissed for its abili-ties to put one in a good mood. There’s nothing like friends, plus the fact we consider ourselves a team. If one bell falls short, the others are there to carry on almost seamlessly.

IT WASN’T until I at-tempted the meditation exercises that I connected the dots as to why bell prac-tice, yoga, and writing are a few of my favorite activi-ties. It’s during those times my mind quiets. I’m at one with the world.

Next step, breathing.

Funny how focuscan free the mind

I came away from a visit with Don Bauer this week with some lost hopes rekin-dled.

Bauer is as much of an out-doorsman as anyone I know. He relishes opportunities to hunt big game, is right at home on the family farm be-hind the wheel of a tractor or with a bale hook in hand and, when there’s nothing else to do, is just as apt to spend an afternoon wandering along a stream bed.

His recollections about me-andering the nearly dried-up Big Creek last summer got my attention.

Big Creek for years was one of my favorite haunts to hunt artifacts discarded by the an-cient people who lived here-abouts, especially when much of its bottom was exposed by dry weather.

Dry creek beds come as close to being the holy grail of artifact hunting as there is. That’s where you find the very best pieces, ones that have

not been routed from under-ground and broken by a plow or chisel. They are just as they were fashioned by calloused hands centuries ago.

I have found many nice points on rock bars and erod-ing from cutbanks along Big Creek in years gone by, and I have hope, with my titanium hip healing nicely, of getting back in the hunt again. It was his mention of ideal condi-tions, before my surgery and when walking was an ordeal, that set my mind to whirling.

I’ve not found a point for several years, but I still know where and how to look and in-tend to again.

For years that was a con-suming hobby, but I haven’t

quit collecting, just turned a corner to another venue. More recently I’ve reverted to my childhood passion of collect-ing coins.

Then, I was more of an ac-cumulator— still am, really. I have refined my interest to include foreign coins and also have found that currency is an interesting part of the hobby.

Coins from U.S. mints have a historical progression, while currency is much more diverse, particularly in that printed prior to the 1920s with its fascinating artwork.

Foreign coins and currency, from about World War II and back, also have engravings that can occupy me for hours on end.

Wife Beverly mentions of-ten that we need to downsize, divest ourselves of “things” we’ve accumulated so the kids and grandkids won’t be bur-dened. However, I like to note a few bags of coins and sev-eral small boxes of stone tools don’t take up much room.

Week’s EndBob Johnson

Gov. Sam Brownback re-mains sidelined on whether to extend Medicaid coverage to thousands of lower-income Kansans at little cost to state taxpayers. The governor has delayed and ducked this major issue confronting state policy makers in Kansas and every other state in the nation.

In confirming the consti-tutionality of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), popularly known as Obamacare, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled nine months ago that state govern-ments could not be coerced into expanding Medicaid but must be allowed to make that choice on a state-by-state ba-sis.

Since the court decision, most governors across the na-tion have weighed in on the issue, either pro or con. At least seven independent re-ports have analyzed Medicaid expansion in Kansas, focusing most attention on the number of low-income Kansans who would receive coverage and the financial impact on state taxpayers.

While projections of enroll-ment vary, the best estimate of the nonpartisan Kansas Health Institute is that 110,000 adults and 88,000 children would take advantage of

broader eligibility through Medicaid expansion. ACA covers the full cost of newly eligible adults under Med-icaid expansion for the first three years, 2014-2016, phasing down to 90 percent in 2020 and beyond. Providing health care for these low-income Kansans over the next seven years would cost $4 for every $100 in coverage.

In addition to expanded health care for low-income Kansans, a report prepared for the Kansas Hospital Asso-ciation projects that by 2020 Medicaid expansion would create over 4,000 new jobs and add over $300 million in per-sonal income annually to the Kansas economy. Further, the report estimates that these economic impacts coupled with related health care sav-ings would actually produce a net gain in the state budget for the period.

So, what has immobilized Brownback into a state of indecision uncharacteristic of his aggressive instincts in tackling most state issues?

On the one hand, his most intimate anti-government al-lies — Americans for Pros-perity, Kansas Chamber of Commerce, ALEC, and their legislative collaborators — de-spise Obamacare as overreach into individual liberty, loathe the safety net represented by Medicaid, and vehemently oppose its expansion in any form. They applaud red-state governors, like Gov. Rick Per-ry who has dug in his heels against Medicaid expansion in Texas, a state that ranks at

or near the bottom among the 50 states on most measures of health insurance coverage for children and adults.

On the other hand, a vocal array of health care advocates in Kansas support expansion of Medicaid. They point to the decision as an economic issue of creating jobs but also frame it as a moral issue, that of as-sisting vulnerable Kansans. They point to red-state Gov. John Kasich of Ohio, who in supporting expansion called on Ohioans to seek guidance from the Bible, stating: “I can’t look at the disabled, I can’t look at the poor, I can’t look at the mentally ill, I can’t look at the addicted and think we ought to ignore them…For those that live in the shadows of life, those who are the least among us, I will not accept the fact that the most vulnerable in our state should be ignored. We can help them.”

Brownback has been hoist-ed on the horns of a political dilemma, much of his own making. His tax policies fa-vor the rich and shift the state tax burden onto lower-income Kansans. His social welfare policies have eliminated as-sistance for thousands of the neediest Kansans and threat-en to unravel the safety net for thousands of other vulnerable Kansans. Choosing to align himself with his libertarian fringe on Medicaid expansion would reinforce once again his alliance with the rich against the poor and drive his low ap-proval ratings, now standing in the mid-thirties, even fur-ther downward.

30 Years AgoWeek of March 24, 1983An Iola business, which

had been closed for a year, was reopened last week as Maloney’s Greenhouse. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Maloney purchased the greenhouse, which Hershel Kincheloe had operated for several years.

*****A receiver has been ap-

pointed by the District Court to handle the grain stored at the Farmers Co-op elevator in Moran and the company has been declared insolvent. District Judge John White appointed R.D. “Red” Easton of Seneca to inventory the grain and prepare it for sale on the petition of Reid Stacey, an assistant attorney general, on behalf of the Kansas Grain Inspection Depart-ment. The action was taken when it was learned that there was a shortage of about $219,000 worth of grain at the elevator. Judge White said that all who had grain stored at the eleva-tor will be asked to bring in their warehouse receipts and weight tickets to the ap-pointed receiver, who will match them against com-pany records.

*****The farmer/stockhold-

ers of the LaHarpe and Mo-ran Farmers Cooperative Association voted 156-24 to dissolve the Co-op. The Co-op will now go into re-ceivership, said the Co-op’s attorney Terry Berthot, and its assets will be sold to pay creditors. He told the farmers that even with the sale, the Co-op will fall an estimated $800,000 short of money needed to pay all creditors.

thing local kids would enjoy,” Erbert said. “Ar-chery has become big in schools throughout the nation, with programs in every state and some now starting to show up in Canada and Mexico.”

Putting the program in place a year ago wasn’t without significant cost, about $3,200 to get it up and going, but with Er-bert’s help a stream of revenue quickly unfolded.

“Don came by and asked if I wanted to be certified to teach ar-chery,” Carlson said. “I said, ‘Sure,’ since I’m always looking for new things for classes.”

They attended a NAS class in Erie, which car-ried with it an award of about $500 worth of equipment for each one’s certification.

That helped, but more was needed. Erbert picked up the torch.

The National Wild Turkey Federation gave $1,000, pushing its total contribution for youth shooting sports in the Iola area to $10,000. Er-bert also found private donors. Friday morning he handed $1,200 to Carl-son to buy more bows and other equipment to continue the program into the years ahead. Of the total, $1,000 came from the turkey group. Bernie Blevins, who has oil interests in the area, donated $200 after having been told about the Jef-ferson program for kids by Neil Crane, another advocate of NWTF.

THE LOCAL chapter of NWTF is one of the most active in the na-

tion and its members are eager to use the money they raise, much of which is retained for lo-cal programs, to encour-age youngsters to em-brace hunting in a safe and enjoyable manner.

Those are goals of youth shoots the chapter sponsors, including an upcoming one on May 4. Safety is a priority anytime young shooters, with guns or bows, gath-er for an event. Same is true of Carlson’s archery classes.

She uses a series of whistle commands to tell students when to pick up bows, when to shoot and when to stand down so arrows may be retrieved from targets.

“The national school archery group says it’s as safe as ping pong,” Er-bert added.

ALTAMONT — While small in numbers, Iola High’s girls came up big on the track Thursday.

The Fillies entered only a handful of events at the varsity level, but still claimed a number of med-als at the Labette County Invitational.

Leading the way was Breanna Stout, who took home the gold medal in the pole vault and third place in the high jump, de-spite missing substantial amounts of practice this week because of illness.

Stout cleared 7 feet, 6 inches in the pole vault and 4’8” in the high jump.

The only other varsity med-alist for the Fillies was Darci Collins, who claimed sixth in the shot with a throw of 31 feet.

“We have some freshman girls who are varsity capable, but since we have had no good practice sessions, we had them in junior varsity,” Fillies coach Marv Smith said.

Mustangs kicked off the 2013 track and field season in fine fashion Thursday, taking sec-ond place among 10 schools at the Labette County Invita-tional.

“We would have had the first place trophy if we had a smarter coach,” head coach Marv Smith said afterward.

How so?Iola narrowly lost the boys

championship to Labette County, finishing a scant 4.5 points behind (100.5 to 96).

Had Coach Smith entered Terrill Smith in the varsity pole vault, Iola would have taken the overall gold.

Terrill Smith easily won the junior varsity pole vault, clearing 9 feet, 6 inches. Such

a clearance would have net-ted him at least the bronze in the varsity pole vault, and another six points.

“That would have gotten us around Labette County,” Coach Smith noted.

As it was, Smith was plen-ty happy with Thursday’s re-sults.

“They were far beyond my expectations, considering the bad weather we have had since the first day of prac-tice,” he said.

The Mustangs were buoyed by gold-medal performances by Tyler Powelson, who won the 1600-meter run, Michael Wilson, who won the varsity pole vault, and the 4x800-meter relay team of Jeremy Spears, Powelson, Tyler Mc-

COFFEYVILLE — A 12-day layoff ended in heartbreak for Allen Community College’s softball squad.

The Red Devils came up just short in a pair of losses to Cof-feyville Thursday, falling 3-2 and 7-5.

The games were the first action for Allen since March 16, largely because of wet and snowy weather.

Thursday’s results likely left the Red Devils feeling rather dreary as well.

Allen led 2-0 through 5½in-nings of the opener before Coffeyville scored three times in the bottom of the sixth to claim the win.

Audra Nelson was the hard-luck loser. She gave up nine hits — five of which came in the fateful sixth — with three runs and two walks.

Allen scored its first run in the second on an RBI ground-out by Mary Reilly. Macey Charleston, Paige Rothwell and Kaitlyn Rash singled to set up the inning.

Annie Gentry singled to lead off the third. She ad-vanced on an error and scored on a single by Taylor Easum, giving the Red Devils a 2-0 lead.

Rash went 3-for-4 to lead Al-len, while Easum, Charleston and Rothwell had two singles apiece. Gentry also had one hit.

COFFEYVILLE opened a 5-0 lead before the Red Devil rally came up just short in the 7-5 loss.

Allen scored two in the fourth on a two-run home run by Rash, two more in the fifth

meters in 6:05.1 and the 3200 at 12:49.

Taylor’s 800 time would have been good for second at the varsity level, Smith said.

She would have been fourth in varsity in the 1600 and sixth in the 3200.

In other JV competitions, Cassie Delich earned gold in the 100-meter high hurdles, finishing in 18.6 seconds. The time would have

INDEPENDENCE — Iola High’s much-anticipated golf season teed off Thurs-day.

“It was a little humbling,” coach Doug Kerr said. “We didn’t play well, but nobody played well, either.”

The Mustangs claimed third place overall Thursday at the Independence Invita-tional at the Independence Country Club. Iola’s score of 358 was behind tourna-ment champions and host Independence’s 339. Labette County was second at 343.

Iola was led by Kaden Ma-cha, who missed out on the

individual championship by a single stroke. He carded an 80 (39-41), one shot behind Gilvon Darkis of Labette County.

The Mustangs’ Drake Dieker finished in a tie for 17th with a 91 (48-43). One shot behind, and tied for 19th was Shane Walden (48-44—92). Weston Hines tied for 27th with an 85 (48-47).

Iola’s team score of 358 was tied with Columbus, but Iola took the third place by comparing its fifth-best score. Adam Peterson shot

COFFEYVILLE — Iola High’s boys continued to rack up wins on the tennis court Thursday. The Mus-tangs took home second place overall at a meet host-ed by Coffeyville.

“It’s been a few years since we have taken second here,” Iola coach Lyle Kern said.

Each of Iola’s competitors picked up wins.

Jordan Strickler finished second in No. 2 singles play with a 3-1 mark, as did Bry-

an Mueller and Colby Works in No. 2 doubles play.

Iola’s No. 1 doubles team of Stephen McDonald and Mason Key went 2-2 on the day, good for third place medals.

“Tyler saw some stiff competition,” Kern said.

earned her a bronze medal for the varsity competitors.

Delich also claimed the silver in the 100-me-ter dash at 14.4 seconds.

“Cassie should have been awarded first,” Smith explained. “She won the fast heat. In the slow heat, there was a false start and the starter did not have another live shell in the gun and could not recall the race.”

Instead of rerunning the heat and disquali-fying the offending runner, meet officials let the results stand.

Delich also took third in the 300-meter hurdles with a time of 56.0 seconds, which would have earned her a third-place medal if she had raced against varsity competitors.

“Delich and Taylor could have given us an additional 25 points on the varsity side,” Smith said.

As it was, the Fillies took ninth at the varsi-ty level with 17 points.

Chanute won the girls varsity with a score of 121. Coffeyville was second at 85 and Fredo-nia claimed third with 71.

Jessica Oakley was a two-time JV medalist, earning silver in the discus with a throw of 75’8” and third in the shot at 24’11”.

Valaree Burtnett finished second in the JV high jump, clearing 4’2”.

Also taking third was the JV 4x100-meter relay team of Klair Vo-gel, Burtnett, Breanne Jett and Shannon Vogel with a time of 1:01.1.

Shannon Vogel took fifth in the 800-meter run with a time of 3:05.

The JV girls took second with 86 points, three points behind first-place finisher Chanute’s 86. Fort Scott was third with 71.

The tournament was delayed two days be-cause of bad weather.

When the weather cleared, Allen’s Clinton Moore was ready to take charge.

His score of 75 was the best of the day. Al-len’s Seth Walden was three strokes behind. His score of 78 placed him in a tie for fourth.

The Red Devils’ team score of 323 placed them second, six strikes be-

hind host Kansas City, Kan. Southwest Nebras-ka took third at 334.

In a team best-ball competition, the Red Devils won a tie-breaker to defeat KCK, with both schools shooting a 66. Southwest finished three strokes behind.

Other individual scores for the Red Devils were Chad Schmidt and Cory LaFever, both shoot-ing 85s, and Bryce Schip-pers, who carded a 104.

on a two-run single by Rothwell and one in the seventh when Reilly singled and proceeded to steal second, third and home.

Gentry reached on a one-out error to bring the tying run to the plate, but she was left stranded on first as the two batters were retired.

Reilly had two hits,

while Rash’s home run was her only hit. Roth-well, Kaitlin Norris and Easum singled.

Nelson and Rash com-bined to give up seven hits and five walks with four strikeouts. Nelson was tagged with the loss.

The Red Devils trav-eled to Hutchinson Fri-day, but those games weren’t finished by press time. Allen travels to Neosho County Tuesday.

When it comes to looking after loved-ones in need of long or short-term care, we all want the same thing – quality care provided by well-trained, compassionate individuals in a clean, comfortable environment. Janet Wilson is no different from the rest of us. So, when her dad needed some rehabilitation after a stay in the hospital, she brought him to a place she knew he would have all these things and more…Windsor Place. How does Janet know so much about Windsor Place? As admissions coordinator at Windsor Place, Janet spends countless hours each week

making sure all residents, relatives or not, get the special care they deserve. Janet isn’t the only one who believes in Windsor Place. Confidence in quality care is shown regularly by the many Windsor Place employees who bring their own family members to live at Windsor Place. If you’re finding it difficult to care for someone you love, don’t despair. Give Janet a call at (620) 365-3183, extension 20.

We’ll treat you like family…Whether

you’re one of our

relativesor not.

“Even though Janet has worked at Windsor Place for years, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I’d always heard good things about it, not only from Janet but also from other friends and family mem-bers. This is the second time I’ve spent time at Windsor Place. It’s a good place. I am treated really well and the staff takes such good care of me. I’m looking and feeling so much better thanks to Windsor Place.”

Intosh and Justin Baker.“Our kids performed

very well,” Smith said. “A second-place trophy in a 10-team meet is very nice, and I am looking forward to practices more so now for the next meet.”

Powelson’s monster day featured his winning time of 4 minutes, 46.7 seconds in the 1600. In addition to his time on the 4x800, Powelson also narrowly missed out on a third gold.

He took silver in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:08.0, about a second behind the first-place runner.

“Tyler ran a 2:06 in the 4x800,” Smith noted. “His 800 was his third distance race of the day.”

Wilson also started off in fine fashion by clearing 11’6” in the pole vault. Baker took second at 9’6” — equal to Terrill Smith’s JV mark.

The 4x800 team fin-ished in 9:05 to win its gold.

Other silver medal-ists for Iola were Jacob Harrison, who ran the 400-meter run in 53.5 seconds; McIntosh, who went 19’6” in the long jump; and the 4x400-me-ter relay team of Adam Kauth, Harrison, McIn-tosh and Baker, that fin-ished in 3:45.9.

Kauth’s day also fea-tured a third-place finish in the 300-meter hurdles with a time of 43.6 sec-onds; a fourth-place fin-ish in the 110-meter high hurdles with a time of

17.4 seconds; and a fifth-place finish in the high jump at 5’6”.

Eli Grover took sixth in the shot with a toss of 36’5”. McIntosh also was sixth in the triple jump, clearing 38’1”.

“Our field events peo-ple have had almost no opportunity for prac-tice,” Smith said. “Tyler

McIntosh had only one day of approaches from a measured mark before his two jump events. Adam had only been over a flight of five hur-dles in practice.”

IN OTHER junior varsity action, Iola took sixth overall with 43 points. Fort Scott won the JV boys competi-

tion with 162 points. La-bette County was second at 102 points.

Jesse Zimmerman took the silver in the dis-cus, going 106’10”, fifth in the shot put at 33 feet and sixth in the javelin at 107’3”.

Terrill Smith teamed with Jason Tidd, Jona-

than Tidd and Paul Specht to take third in the 4x100-meter relay at 51.7 seconds; the 4x400 relay JV squad of Jere-my Spears, Smith, Jona-than Tidd and Michael Wilson also finished third at 4:11.

The Tidds joined Blaine Klubek and Tra-vis Hermstein to place fourth in the 4x800-me-ter relay with a time of 10:28. Terrill Smith also finished fourth in the 200-meter dash at 25.9 seconds.

“Terrill Smith and Jesse Zimmerman had a good start to their sea-son,” Coach Smith said. “Jesse is a junior in his first year of track and has had almost no out-side practices.”

The 4x100 relays also were an unmitigated success.

“I planned to go sit on the bus when the 4x100s ran since we had a high potential for disaster,” he joked. “But all three teams had zero problems with the exchanges.”

Easter egg hunt Sunday

About 8,000 plastic eggs filled with candy will be scattered throughout pic-nic grounds in Riverside Park Sunday afternoon, awaiting young hands to snatch them up.

The 2 p.m. event started several years ago by Iola’s First Assembly of God Church, aided this year by Fellowship Regional Church, also will have food and game booths, as well as bicycles, tricycles, an iPod and gift certificate to give away.

Inclement weather would move festivities to the Recreation Commu-nity Building.

Iola’s semi-annual fire hydrant flushing will start April 8.

Flushing will be done only on weekdays by Iola Fire Department employ-ees.

The process, which will take a week or more, stirs up rust particles. While not a health hazard, discolored water may stain laundry.

Anyone with questions may call the utility office, 365-4910.

Iolan Krissa Brown, 14, was treated at Al-len County Hospital for what were described as assorted bumps and bruises after she was struck by a vehicle while riding her bicycle Thurs-day.

The Iola Police De-partment reported the accident occurred on

East Street, just east of the Allen County Hospi-tal curve.

Bob Droessler, Iola police officer, said Greg-ory D. Newton was driv-ing the car that struck Brown. He was later ar-rested for allegedly driv-ing with a suspended license and not having current registration.

Niche marketing has become the wave of the future, especially in ru-ral America.

A niche market is a fo-cused, targeted portion of a market.

Businesses that focus on a niche market ad-dress a need for a prod-uct or service not ad-dressed by mainstream providers.

Why should you both-er to establish a niche market? Because other small businesses may not be aware of your particular niche, and large businesses won’t want to bother with it.

The trick is to find or develop one with cus-tomers who are acces-sible, one that’s growing, and one not already cov-ered by an established vendor.

I see this movement going on around Iola. I hope the trend contin-ues.

We offer a diverse group of businesses and attractions to encourage

folks to come to town. We want them to be en-tertained, to enjoy our restaurants, shop in our stores and stay in our motels. Niche marketing has such a diverse, broad base it is a great way for a small business to get its start.

Let’s all work together to support all our new and established busi-nesses. We want the Iola area to grow and prosper.

Friday is the day for the Iola Area Chamber of Commerce’s annual dinner and business awards meeting. At-torney General Derek Schmidt will be our key-note speaker. The public is invited.

Cost to attend is $20. Reservations are needed by Tuesday.

Niche marketing may help Allen County

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 every column and once in every 3x3 box. One-star puzzles are for beginners, and the difficulty gradually increases through the week to a very challenging five-star puzzle.

Dear Tom and Ray: I have a dilemma. My retirement dream has always been to purchase some type of vehicle to travel in and live out of for extended periods of time. I always thought I would get a small RV or camper. But now, be-cause of the cost of gas, I am not sure what to do. I enjoy tent camping but would like the option of sleeping in my vehicle due to weather. I have looked online at a Suba-ru Forester and a Jeep Patriot. Would you rec-ommend something like that? Or something else? — Randy

RAY: I know exactly what you need, Randy: a house!

TOM: Actually, what

we’d recommend for you depends on your size. If you’re 6 feet 4 inches, I’d say neither one of the ve-hicles you looked at will make a comfortable bed-room. But if you’re 5 feet 1 inch, a small crossover

like the Forester might be fine.

RAY: But, like when you buy a pair of pants or a mattress, you really should try these things on for size before making a decision.

TOM: Sure, the deal-er will think you’re a

couple of gallons short of a full tank when you walk into the showroom in your pajamas and ask him to heat some milk for you, fold down the seats and come wake you up in an hour. But if that’s how you’re going to use the car, that’s how you should “test drive” it.

RAY: You want to see what it’s like with the car closed up. Are you really comfortable? Does the cargo floor actually fold completely flat, or does it have a bump or a hinge in the middle? Do you have enough room to straighten out? Turn over?

TOM: I think you’ll find that sleeping in the back of most passenger

cars is not terribly com-fortable. So, for that rea-son, I’m going to recom-mend a minivan.

RAY: You can look at any of them, but the Dodge Caravan, for in-stance, has a “Stow ’n Go” feature where the second AND third rows of seats fold into the floor and create a large, flat cargo area. Maybe even enough room to fit — luxury of luxuries — a small mattress!

TOM: You also can get an inexpensive minivan tent, like the DAC Ex-plorer 2. It attaches to the open rear liftgate of your minivan to give you a little more breathing room, and allows you to have some screened air flow while you sleep.

Can a crossover act as an RV?

Three-time Sprint Cup champion Tony Stewart was in a position to win the Auto Club 400 at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif. On a restart with 11 laps to go, Stewart made a daring dash in his No. 14 Chevy underneath Joey Logano’s No. 22 Ford, which was second on the restart next to Kyle Busch’s machine. When Logano saw Stewart on the apron trying to squib to the front, Logano blocked the pass attempt. ‘Smoke’ was furious after the race. Stewart, who finished 22nd, marched over to Logano to discuss the incident. Logano tossed a water bottle at Stewart, which was like showing a red cape to an angry bull. Stewart attempted to throw a haymaker at the 22-year-old driver, who was protected by his pit crew. After cooling down — a bit — Stewart discussed it all with the media.

What did you take issue

with at the end of the race?

“Well, Joey spun the tires on the restart. Everybody had trouble with that, but it’s not my fault that he spun the tires. … He is a tough guy on pit road as soon as one of his crew guys gets in the middle of it. Until then, he’s a scared little kid. Then, he wants to sit there and throw a water bottle at me. He is going to learn a lesson. He can run his mouth on Twitter and stuff all he wants. I’ve got plenty of people that are going to watch for that. It’s time he learns a lesson. He’s run his mouth long enough. He has sat there and done this double standard, and he’s nothing but a little rich kid that has never had to work in his life. He’s going to learn with us working guys that had to work our way up how it works.”

Before that, you came storming up through the fi eld. Tell us about that.

“We came in on that one stop and got two tires that got us an awesome restart on the outside that got us to

third. I was proud of the restart and really proud of the team. They did an awesome job and had awesome pit stops and made great changes all day. I don’t know what happened at the end. I think we had a tire going down. If not, we had something else that actually happened. But it started right before the caution and was really bad afterwards. It’s still no excuse for Joey to do what he did. I’m just tired of watching these kids whine and then they sit there and act tough when their crew guys get in the middle of it. If NASCAR wants us to let the guys have at it, it shouldn’t be any different than hockey. Let the guys have at it and then when one guy goes to the ground, then it’s over.”

He says he wants to call you this week. Will you accept his call?“Hell, no. If he wants to talk

about it, we’ll talk about it. After he threw the water bottle at me like a little girl, we’ll go at it now.”

FEUD OF THE WEEK

WHAT’S ON TAP?

QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions ...

and maybe a few actual answers

What were the odds that it’d be Joey Logano coming to NASCAR’s rescue?

There are some things Vegas doesn’t bother putting on the board. This is one of ’em. Nobody (NOBODY) could’ve suspected it’d be Joey Logano who’d get everyone (EVERYONE) talking about racing again Monday morning at work. And I mean everyone from Ed in maintenance, who runs your weekly race pool, to Agnes in accounts payable, who doesn’t know Matt Kenseth from a monkey wrench.

Do we choose sides

or just enjoy the spectacle?

For now, it might be best to continue sorting it out and wondering where it’ll go next. We have, after all, now introduced the two elements no one at a racetrack wants to see: A hospital airlift and an angry Tony Stewart. OK, we take back half of that. There are few things more enjoyable than an angry Tony Stewart.

Now what?

Not many years ago, everything NASCAR touched turned into some sort of payoff — whether it was intentional or not. But nothing is easy or automatic anymore, so it’s no surprise that this all happened on the cusp of the off-week for Easter. This is the type of thing NASCAR and the networks could milk heavily through the week, but instead we’re getting Easter, which will certainly put everyone at peace, right? Right?

News-Journal/DAVID MASSEYIt’s hard to tell Joey’s mad face from his deer-in-the-headlights look.

LOGANO STEWARTJoey Logano vs. Tony Stewart: Stewart rushed to Logano’s car after the California race to relate his feelings about a blocking incident, then threw a punch. Godwin Kelly gives his take: “It sure looks like Stewart is at fi ghting weight. Logano better watch out.”

GODWIN’S EARLY MARTINSVILLE PICKS

DOUBLE STANDARD

In terms of the angry Tony Stewart, where does his

Sunday blowup rank?GODSPEAK: ‘Smoke’ lost

his cool but didn’t completely blow a gasket because he didn’t trail a line of oil into the garage area.

KEN’S CALL: He usually only gets that mad when the kid at the White Castle drive-thru says, “Sorry, sir, but it’ll be a few minutes on your bag of burgers.”

Anyone to blame at Fontana, or just old-fashioned racin’ deals?GODSPEAK: It sure looked

like two guys racing for the win, and Stewart’s post-race tantrum shows he is still very passionate about the sport.

KEN’S CALL: Good ol’ give and take. But by now, no track owner should leave any wall without a SAFER barrier.

News-Journal/NIGEL COOKWhen Tony has this look on his face, the best advice is turn and go the other way.

WINNER: Clint BowyerREST OF THE TOP FIVE: Brad Keselowski, Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Ryan NewmanDARK HORSE: Kurt BuschBIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT:

Danica PatrickFIRST ONE OUT: Joey LoganoDON’T BE SURPRISED IF: There is excessive beating and banging on NASCAR’s slowest track. Several scores will be settled.

It looks as if the “new” Joey Logano has become a lightning rod (or punching bag?) among his fellow Sprint Cup competitors. The Ford driver has a running feud with former Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Denny Hamlin, and on Sunday, he made a new steering-wheel enemy in Tony Stewart.

Logano and Hamlin tangled at Phoenix and Bristol and then again on the fi nal lap of Sunday’s race in Fontana, Calif. Naturally, they crashed and Hamlin got the worst of it. Hamlin fi nished 25th and was airlifted to the hospital, complaining of lower back pain. Logano limped across the line third.

After emerging from his car, Logano was bull-rushed by Tony Stewart, who was upset at Logano for throwing a block on the fi nal restart. Logano was standing next to his car when Stewart thrust himself into the crowd around Logano and tried to throw a punch at the 22-year-old driver.

Stewart gave a profanity-laced interview to Fox, and Logano said he was just doing what he needed to do in order to win the race.

This means more trouble for Logano. Stewart made this subtle threat via his public- relations team: “For a guy that has been complaining about how everybody else is driving here and then (for) him to do that, it’s a double standard. He makes the choice. He makes the decision to run us down there, and when you run a driver down there, then you take responsibility for what happens after that.”

Kyle keeps climbingThe wins have slowed, but the goal is still the same for

Kyle Busch. The 27-year-old driver swept the Nationwide Series and Cup races at Auto Club Speedway and moved two steps closer to his goal of 200 national series victories.

Right now, the count is 24 Cup, 54 Nationwide and 30 Camping World Truck Series victories — 108 total. He tops the chart in all-time Nationwide wins and continues to gap Mark Martin’s 49-victory effort.

“You work hard, and you give it all you can,” Busch said, adding at the end of the race he “got up on that wheel” to catch and pass Sam Hornish Jr. in the Nationwide race in

California.

Finch powerhouseCar owner James Finch has used three

drivers in fi ve Cup races this season in his No. 51 Chevy and fi nds himself in a strange position

— ninth in the owner points.Finch, who calls Panama City, Fla., home,

has employed the services of drivers AJ Allmendinger, Austin Dillon and Regan Smith, who has scored the team’s only top-10 fi nish this season.

Of course, it will be diffi cult to keep this momentum going, since Phoenix

Racing is a tiny operation, but as least it shows there is still a place for a one-horse operation in the

Cup Series.

Tony may be wearng a fi sh-ing logo, but he’s now on the hunt for punky drivers.
