If you’ve got enough of it, Fri-day night is the night to let your hair down.

One sure test is to participate in the “Drag Race” as a runup to the Charlie Melvin Mad Bomber Run For Your Life race.

Men and women alike are en-couraged to dress in a cross-gen-der manner and then “compete” in teams of four in a relay. Last

year a woman’s garter was trans-ferred from one participant’s leg to another.

“It’s better than a baton,” said David Toland, executive director of Thrive Allen County and one of the organizers for Friday’s events.

If you don’t have a thing to wear — no worries.

Dresses, hats, purses, jewelry and other accoutrements will be available at Elizabeth Donnelly’s

The Shirt Shop, 20 W. Jackson, where participants will have a wide selection from which to choose. Doors open at 10 p.m.

Registration to participate in the drag race is $5. That also gains participants entrance to a 9:30 p.m. pre-party at the Thrive office, 12 W. Jackson. Tickets can be purchased in advance at the Thrive office or Friday night on

LE ROY — Unlike the mecha-nized behemoths of today, Ray Whiteley’s mowing outfit was considerably quieter.

His “engine” — a pair of 1,200-pound mules — needed only an occasional break from the sti-fling summer heat as Whiteley traversed his way around an 18-acre prairie hay meadow.

“It’s a little warm, so we’ve been taking it easy,” Whiteley said. “It’s our little hobby.”

The mules were pulling White-ley’s antique sickle bar mower, a small wagon with cutting bar

attached. The bar was triggered through a gear box engaged as its wheels roll.

With no mechanical engine to speak of, the only noise emanat-ing from his unit was from the teeth of the seven-foot cutting bar rotating back and forth.

Joining Whiteley was neighbor and friend Greg Gleue, with his own mowing outfit, another sick-le bar mower pulled by a pair of Percheron draft horses.

“We’re having some fun with it,” Whiteley joked. “Greg’s kind of a wimp about it. He needs a

Calls to the 911 dispatch center average one almost every 10 min-utes.

And while that may sound a lit-tle slow, played out over 24 hours a day and every day of the year, the total comes to 55,000.

“That’s what we received last year,” Angie Murphy, dispatch center director, told Allen County commissioners Tuesday morn-ing.

The call total — she figures half or more are for true emer-gencies — wasn’t the point of her appearance, but the magnitude of the number captivated commis-sioners.

Murphy was before commis-sioners to request a 20 percent increase in the department’s bud-get for 2012, up $126,000 over this year’s $490,000.

The increase seemed pretty hefty. Murphy reasoned health insurance will cost an additional $50,000 and another $6,000 was expected for Kansas Public Em-

An anticipated field of a thou-sand runners and walkers, who will flee Iola’s downtown busi-ness district early Saturday as Charley Melvin did in 1905, can be thankful that Melvin chose to do his dastardly deed in the mid-dle of the night.

Had the event being commemo-rated occurred in mid-day, par-ticipants would battle oppressive heat and humidity, with both forecast at the upper end of the discomfort scale during daytime Friday and Saturday. As is, they will run and walk in somewhat more inviting temperatures pre-dicted for the low 70s by 12:26 a.m. Saturday.

The race — many walkers will be out for a stroll — will cap activ-ities that start late Friday after-noon and will go on throughout the evening. Included will be the much-awaited “drag race,” fea-turing some of the area’s finest men and women dressed in drag.

Chris Weiner at Thrive Allen County, co-sponsor with Allen County Crimestoppers for “The Charley Melvin Mad Bomber Run for your Life,” said total of partic-ipants was approaching 450, with about 200 signed on for the 5-kilo-meter run. The walk will follow a 3-kilometer course.

“Registration, including prob-ably a fifth online, has really

picked up,” Weiner said Tuesday afternoon. As in the past, “we ex-pect a lot of people to sign up Fri-day night.”

Cost is $12 for the walk. Run-ners’ fees are $14 for youth to age 17, $20 for adults and $17 each for members of teams.

Runners in the third annual event will aim for best times of 15.40.06 for males and 20.44.78 for females, set last year.

Sticks of “Melvin Dy-No-Mite” will be awarded the first three places for males and females in each of five ages groups, 15 and under, 16-30, 31-45, 46-60 and 61 and over.

All participants will break from in front of the post office. Runners will follow a course that will take them on West to Wash-ington, then Jackson, Jefferson and East to Cottonwood. They

ATLANTA (AP) — Former Atlanta schools Superintendent Beverly Hall knew about cheat-ing allegations on standardized tests but either ignored them or tried to hide them, according to a state investigation.

An 800-page report released Tuesday to The Associated Press by Gov. Nathan Deal’s office through an open records request shows several educators report-ed cheating in their schools. But the report says Hall, who won the national Superintendent of the Year award in 2009, and other administrators ignored those re-ports and sometimes retaliated against the whistleblowers.

The yearlong investigation shows educators at nearly four dozen Atlanta elementary and middle schools cheated on stan-dardized tests by helping stu-dents or changing the answers once exams were handed in.

The investigators also found a “culture of fear, intimidation and retaliation” in the school district over the cheating allegations, which led to educators lying about the cheating or destroying

Pipe burst closes McKinley

By ALLISON [email protected]

McKinley Elementary students received an unexpected surprise today — school was canceled.

The basement of the school experienced a hot water pipe break on Sunday, said Brian Pek-arek, USD 257 superintendent of schools.

The break was not due to the severe weather but the age of the pipes. “In time, those pipes will break,” Pekarek said. “In order to correct the problem, we needed to shut off all water and electricity to McKinley for Sunday and Mon-day.”

As of this morning the base-ment had an inch of water and industrial Shop-Vacs were being used to dry out the floors. An-derson Plumbing evaluated the damages early this morning and started on repairs.

“We are working on getting the leak fixed and getting the rest of the water out of the basement. We are also taking out all the things that got wet,” said Scott Stanley,

Gary Hawk was inducted into the society as a famous Allen Countian, while also having Oct. 13 officially named “Gary Hawk Day” in his honor by Iola Mayor Bill Shirley. The meeting, held in the North Community Building, was at near-full capacity to recog-nize Hawk.

Candidates consumed by debate preparations JULIE PACE and STEVE PEOPLESAssociated Press

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (AP) — With the White House race barrel-ing toward the finish, President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney were staying out of the spotlight Mon-day, underscoring the intense fo-cus each campaign is placing on the second presidential debate.

Obama’s campaign, seeking to rebound from a dismal first de-

bate, promised a more energetic president would take the stage Tuesday at Hof-stra University in Hempstead, N.Y. Romney’s team aimed to build on a com-manding open-ing debate that gave the Repub-lican new life in a White House race that had once appeared to be

slipping away from him.When the two candidates step

back into the public eye at the de-bate, there will be exactly three weeks left until Election Day. But early voting is already underway in dozens of states, including some battlegrounds, giving the candidates little time to recover from any slipups.

Much of the pressure in the coming debate will be on Obama, who aides acknowledge showed up at the first face-off with less

practice — and far less energy — than they had wanted. The president and a team of advis-ers are seeking to regain focus with an intense, three-day “de-bate camp” at a golf resort in Williamsburg, Va.

“It is going great,” Obama said of his preparations Sunday, while

taking a brief break to greet vol-unteers at a nearby campaign of-fice.

Romney, who has made no se-cret of the huge priority his cam-paign puts on the debates, was practicing today near his home in Massachusetts.

Romney’s advisers suggested the Republican nominee would continue to moderate his mes-sage — in tone, if not substance — as he did in the Oct. 3 meeting

ACC board tackles facility, technology renovations

By STEVEN [email protected]

Facilities renovation and an information technology systems update were some of the main focal points Thursday in the Al-len Community College board of trustees meeting.

John Masterson, president of the college, said he has met with several engineering firms to dis-cuss updating some aspects of the campus. While plans are still in the early stages, Masterson said the college needs to be “spruced up,” especially since many of the facilities are more than 40 years old.

Masterson said a major mo-

tivation for seeking renovation was the need for more student housing. Local enrollment has decreased recently, meaning ACC has increased the number of stu-dents from out of town. The hous-ing facilities are currently at 100 percent capacity, with four stu-dents being tripled in dormitory rooms. There are currently 276 students taking advantage of stu-dent housing.

Masterson said it is important to explore all of ACC’s options to maintain a high level of efficien-cy.

“We want to make sure that we

Los Angeles TimesATMA, Syria — The rows of

olive groves that line the hillsides like silent sentinels are burst-ing with life, both on the laden branches and the fruit-scattered ground below, where families camp out on mattresses and in tents.

The trees appear healthy. The people are desperate.

“We don’t have enough food, we don’t have proper shelter,” a mother said as she spoon-fed do-nated lentil soup to her infant son the other day. “What will we do with winter coming?”

The hundreds living amid

the olive groves on the edges of this rebel-held town hugging the Turkish-Syrian border are among the 1.5 million Syrians left home-less in the conflict but still living inside Syria. The chaos of war-fare has rendered it impossible to calculate a precise estimate, with some figures going as high as 4 million.

International attention has focused on the plight of Syrians who have fled to neighboring na-tions, taxing the resources of Tur-key, Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq. Syrian refugees abroad probably number more than 500,000, ac-cording to the United Nations and other estimates.

They may be the lucky ones.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Social Security recipients won’t be getting big benefit increases next year, but the small raises they will re-ceive are playing an impor-tant role in helping seniors grow their incomes even as younger workers lose ground.

Preliminary figures show the annual benefit boost will be between 1 and 2 percent, which would be among the lowest since au-tomatic adjustments were adopted in 1975. Monthly benefits for retired workers average $1,237, meaning the typical retiree can ex-pect a raise of between $12 and $24 a month.

The size of the cost-of-living adjustment, or COLA, will be made official Tuesday, when the govern-ment releases inflation fig-ures for September.

“The COLA continues to be very critical to people in keeping them from fall-ing behind,” said David Certner, AARP’s legislative policy director.

How important is the COLA? From 2001 to 2011, household incomes in the U.S. dropped for every age group except one: those 65 and older.

The median income for all U.S. households fell by 6.6 percent, when inflation was taken into account, according to census data. But the median income for households headed by someone 65 or older rose by 13 percent.

“That’s all because of Social Security,” Certner said. “Social Security has the COLA and that’s what’s keeping seniors above wa-ter, as opposed to every-body else who’s struggling in this economy.”

Seniors still, on average, have lower incomes than younger adults. Most older Americans rely on Social Security for a majority of their income, according to the Social Security Admin-istration.

“It’s useful to bear in mind that no other group in the economy gets an

automatic cost-of-living increase in their income,” said David Blau, an econo-mist at The Ohio State Uni-versity. “Seniors are the only group.”

The small COLA is un-likely to please a big bloc of voters — 56 million people get benefits — just three weeks before elections for president and Congress. However, it’s tied to a gov-ernment measure of infla-tion adopted by Congress in the 1970s. It shows that consumer prices have gone up by less than 2 percent in the past year.

“Basically, for the past 12 months, prices did not go up as rapidly as they did the year before,” said Poli-na Vlasenko, an economist at the American Institute for Economic Research, based in Great Barrington, Mass.

This year, Social Secu-rity recipients received a 3.6 percent increase in benefits after getting no increase the previous two years.

Some of next year’s raise could be wiped out by high-er Medicare premiums, which are deducted from Social Security payments. The Medicare Part B pre-mium, which covers doctor visits, is expected to rise by about $7 per month for 2013, according to govern-ment projections.

The premium is cur-rently $99.90 a month for most seniors. Medicare is expected to announce the premium for 2013 in the coming weeks.

Many seniors feel like the COLA doesn’t cover their rising costs.

“You have utilities go up, your food costs go up. Think about how much groceries have gone up,” said Janice Durflinger, a 76-year-old

widow in Lincoln, Neb. “I would love to know how they figure that.”

The COLA is based on the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, or CPI-W, a broad measure of consumer prices generated by the Bureau of Labor Sta-tistics. It measures price changes for food, housing, clothing, transportation, energy, medical care, recre-ation and education.

In the past year, food prices have risen 2 percent while home energy prices have dropped 3.8 percent, according to the CPI-W. Housing costs have gone up 1.4 percent and gasoline prices have increased by 1.8 percent.

Blau said it’s common for seniors to feel like the COLA doesn’t reflect their rising costs, in part because older people tend to spend more of their income on health care. Medical costs have risen 4.3 percent in the past year as measured by the CPI-W.

“Inflation affects every-body differently unless you happen to be that mythi-cal average person who buys the average bundle of goods,” Blau said.

Social Security benefit to boost

A county board of elec-tions in upstate New York said it would take quick action Friday after be-ing informed that it had drawn up election ballots that misspelled Barack Obama’s name.

The Utica Observer-Dispatch reports that sample ballots printed on the Oneida County Board of Elections website were missing the “C’’ in the president’s first name.

The newspaper said it informed Election Commissioner Pamela Mandryck about the er-ror Friday. She says tem-plates sent recently to a printer also contained the error. But she says they would be retrieved and corrected in time for election day.

LONDON (AP) — You can’t always get what you want — but if your de-sire is to attend a Rolling Stones concert this might be your lucky day.

The legendary band said today it would return to the stage this year with four concerts in Britain and the United States. The shows will take place on Nov. 25 and 29 at London’s O2 Arena, followed by gigs on Dec. 13 and 15 at the Prudential Center in New-ark, New Jersey, just out-side of New York.

The shows mark the first time in five years that the Stones have per-formed live, with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood all coming together once more. The band said it was the “crowning glo-ry” of celebrations mark-ing its 50th anniversary of its first gig.

“Everybody loves a cel-ebration, and London and New York are two good places to do it in!” Jagger said in a statement.

The Stones have sold more than 200 million re-cords, with hits including “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfac-tion,” ‘’Street Fighting Man” and “You Can’t Al-ways Get What You Want.”

But in recent years much of their income has come from touring. Their last global tour, “A Bigger

B a n g , ” e a r n e d m o r e t h a n $500 mil-lion be-t w e e n 2005 and 2007.

Their legions of fans will hear era-defining tracks such as “Gimme Shelter,” ‘’Jumping Jack Flash,” ‘’Tumbling Dice,” ‘’It’s Only Rock and Roll,” plus a few surprises and other classics from GRRR!, the multiformat album com-ing out in November.

“GRRR!” is a great-est hits collection that includes two new songs “Doom and Gloom” and “One More Shot,” record-ed recently in Paris — the first new recordings since the 2005 album “A Bigger Bang.”

The band promises an all-new, custom-built set design, featuring the tongue and floppy lip logo, that will “reach out into the crowd.” A wider tour is not planned, though the Dec. 15 performance will be available on pay per view.

The tour comes de-spite some famously testy times.

Richards and Jagger have been creative cata-lysts and sparring part-ners — sentiments aggra-vated two years ago when Richards published his autobiography “Life.”

They’ve nonetheless appeared amicably to-gether during events that marked their 50th anni-versary. A documentary about the band, “Crossfire Hurricane,” premieres at the London Film Festival on Thursday.

In another milestone marking their five de-cades of music, the Mu-seum of Modern Art in New York will host “The Rolling Stones: 50 Years on Film,” a retrospective chronicling the band from the mid-1960s until today. This exhibition will be open Nov. 15.

Gov. Sam Brownback cre-ated a “task force” to study ef-ficiency in the public schools. It is made up of accountants and other business types. No educators allowed.

Call it a task force or a hatch-et squad. The point of it is to cut spending on education. No time will be wasted on improv-ing student performance. Only the uninformed would assume otherwise.

The need to cut spending still further on public schools increased mightily when the Legislature cut income taxes sharply earlier this year. More than half of the state’s gen-eral fund budget goes to public schools. Another big chunk goes to higher education, in-cluding community colleges, ours among them.

Cutting taxes reduces the money available to spend on schools and everything else. This rather obvious fact needs repeating these days because there are some in high places in Topeka who haven’t made the connection.

Those same people believe the tax cuts will produce new jobs which will create new tax revenues and that this more-from-less effect will happen soon enough to avoid state bud-get reductions.

But just in case this econom-ic miracle doesn’t get here in time to prevent still another cruel reduction, Gov. Brown-back wants to be prepared to show the state’s 293 school dis-tricts how they can do more with less.

To digress, the scenario re-minds me of the farmer who decided to save money by sub-stituting wheat straw for alfal-fa hay in feeding his horse. He slipped a little more straw and a little less hay into the trough

each day, expecting dobbin to adapt. “Was working great,” he told his wife, “but just as I got her broke to 100 percent straw, the darn critter died.”

WORRIED THAT Brown-back’s efficiency hawks will focus solely on pinching pen-nies and forget why public schools exist, the Kansas As-sociation of School Boards announced last week that it, too, is creating a task force. Theirs will be made up of school superintendents and other educators. Its mission will be to recommend ways to better prepare Kansas high school graduates to meet the state’s economic needs.

When the Legislature con-venes in January to begin dealing with the needs of the state and its people in 2013 and 2014, its members should first remind themselves that educa-tion is the state’s primary mis-sion.

The money spent on the public schools, the community colleges, the technical colleges and the state universities is an investment in the future of today’s youngsters and the state’s economy.

The quality of Kansas edu-cation very largely determines the quality of life in Kansas.

Educating Kansas kids on the cheap will cheat them. Run-ning second class schools, col-leges and universities will give Kansas a second-class future. This isn’t partisan rhetoric; it is an obvious fact that our his-tory has demonstrated beyond argument.

It is scary — extremely scary — that the centrality of educa-tion to the essence of our state community must be debated again in Kansas.

— Emerson Lynn, jr.

Gov.’s efficiency task force has nothing todo with education

WASHINGTON — In the hours before Thursday night’s vice presidential debate, word leaked that the Romney-Ryan campaign had instructed moderator Mar-tha Raddatz to address Paul Ryan as “Mister” rather than “Con-gressman.”

To her credit, Raddatz ignored such instructions and referred to the Republican vice presiden-tial nominee by his more rel-evant title. Not that it mattered anyway: Vice President Biden was not about to let people forget that Ryan, and by extension Mitt Romney, is inextricably bound to the unpopular House Republican leadership.

On issue after issue — Libya, Iran, taxes, debt, Medicare, So-cial Security — Biden kept turn-ing the discussion toward actions Ryan and his colleagues took in Congress, at one point mock-ing Ryan for suggesting he could work across the aisle to forge a tax deal. “Seven percent rating? Come on,” Biden needled.

Perhaps Biden’s most effec-tive moment was his response to Ryan’s condemnation of the eco-nomic stimulus.

“I love my friend here,” Biden said, noting that Ryan “sent me two letters saying, ‘By the way, can you send me some stimulus money for companies here in the state of Wisconsin?’”

“You did ask for stimulus mon-ey?” Raddatz asked.

“On two occasions, we — we — we advocated for constituents who were applying for grants.”

“I love that,” Biden pressed, go-ing on to quote from Ryan’s letter saying the stimulus would “cre-ate growth and jobs.”

The emphasis on congressional Republicans was key to Biden’s strong performance, because it provided a more favorable way

for Democrats to frame the cam-paign: not as a choice between President Obama and some ab-stract alternative but a choice between Obama and the dimly regarded Republican-led House, which would be in a dominant position under a President Rom-ney. Romney’s views may be all over the lot, but the positions of Republicans on Capitol Hill are clear and stark.

Many will criticize Biden’s an-tics on the debate stage: loud guf-faws, grimaces, raising his arms and looking heavenward, inter-jecting with “Oh, God,” and “This is amazing.” But all of the scoff-ing and incredulity was to an end, and one that Obama would be wise to emulate: It indicated out-rage. Biden’s incredulous grins and many putdowns (“bunch of malarkey,” “bunch of stuff,” “oh, now you’re Jack Kennedy,” “no-tice, he never answers the ques-tion”) seemed to rattle Ryan, as measured by his copious water consumption. At one point, Ryan flatly denied a $2 trillion increase in military spending that Rom-ney has touted.

BIDEN’S THEATRICS, if over-done, were clearly deliberate, be-cause he dropped them during the closing minutes of the debate and adopted a softer voice. “You prob-ably detected my frustration with their attitude about the Ameri-can people,” Biden said, reprising Romney’s “47 percent” remark.

For an Obama campaign up-ended by Romney’s sudden move to the middle, the vice president’s success in directing his outrage less at the gelatinous Romney than at the hard-and-fast posi-tions of congressional Republi-cans would seem to provide an antidote.

When Ryan tried to blame Obama for the automatic defense spending cuts, Biden pointed out

that Ryan had praised the agree-ment. When Ryan criticized inad-equate security in last month’s at-tack on diplomats in Libya, Biden retorted: “The congressman here cut embassy security in his bud-get by $300 million below what we asked for.”

On Iran sanctions: “Imagine had we let the Republican Con-gress work out the sanctions. You think there’s any possibility the entire world would have joined us?”

On taxes: “Instead of signing pledges to Grover Norquist not to ask the wealthiest among us to contribute to bring back the mid-dle class, they should be signing a pledge saying to the middle class, ‘We’re going to level the playing field.’”

On homeowners: “Get out of the way and let us allow 14 mil-lion people who are struggling to stay in their homes because their mortgages are upside down.”

BIDEN, looking into the cam-era, warned viewers that a Ryan proposal would have increased Medicare recipients’ costs by $6,400. Ryan was compelled to as-sure viewers that his earlier push for partial privatization of Social Security is “not what Mitt Rom-ney’s proposing.”

An indignant Biden accused Ryan and his fellow Republi-cans in Congress of tanking the economy. “They talk about this Great Recession as if it fell out of the sky, like, ‘Oh my goodness, where did it come from?’” he said, then pointed at Ryan. “It came from this man, voting to put two wars on a credit card [and] ... a trillion-dollar tax cut for the very wealthy.”

Raddatz turned to the challeng-er for a response. “Congressman Ryan?”

After Biden’s barrage, the hon-orific sounded like an epithet.

For the record, The Jerusalem Post is not backing either Barack Obama or Mitt Romney in next month’s presidential elections.

As Israel’s top English-lan-guage newspaper which prides itself on its balanced news cover-age and opinion columns, we are certainly committed to providing our readers with as much mate-rial as we can on the candidates and their campaigns. ..

And it is our job as a newspaper to report on the presidential race as best we can, in an unbiased but informative way.

At the same time, however, The Jerusalem Post — like any other newspaper — is a business. As such, we are open to advertising

from both the Republican and Democratic parties.

Running paid ads in our print edition and on our website and sending them to our subscribers does not mean that we are endors-ing one side or the other.

In order to give our readers first-class, original content, we need the resources provided by such advertising. ...

Supporters of Republican challenger Romney recently pro-duced and posted on YouTube an anti-Obama documentary called Absolutely Uncertain. It featured interviews with The Jerusalem Post’s editor-in-chief, as well as with other Israel-based journal-ists who were told they were be-

ing filmed for a documentary on the U.S. and Israel.

They had no idea that their statements were going to be used for political propaganda. ...

It is in no one’s interest for Israel to be a wedge issue in the upcoming U.S. elections. To play political football with the enor-mous challenges facing Israel, the U.S. and the entire world today, especially when it comes to Iran’s quest for nuclear weapons, is irre-sponsible and immoral.

Such issues must be addressed not in propaganda ads with a clear political agenda but via channels that promote robust dis-course and free thought. ...

Israeli paper takes issue with Romney posting

Don’t allow federal lawmak-ers to shrug off their inability to pass the 2012 Farm Bill by claiming their inaction before recessing for the campaign season won’t affect very many Americans. That’s a cop-out.

The U.S. Senate and House ag committees both passed their versions of the farm bill, but the full House of Representa-tives did not take up the legisla-tion before the election recess. Lacking a vote in the full House, the farm bill expired Sept. 29.

Farmers who need to finance their planting for next year may face problems completing that process because neither they nor their lenders will know ex-actly what to expect when Con-gress revisits the farm bill after the November elections.

Also waiting with concern are farmers who depend upon federal programs to boost for-eign trade, fight soil erosion and help dairy operations.

Dairy farmers have uncer-tainty because the Milk Income

Loss Contract program has ex-pired. ...

The USDA’s Foreign Mar-ket Development Program is a cost-sharing trade promotion partnership with agricultural producers and processors, but its funding will run out later in October. ... 31 percent of U.S. gross farm income comes from exports, which also help to coun-ter our nation’s trade imbalance.

Finally, there will be no new sign-ups in the Conservation Reserve Program. About 6.5 mil-lion acres are enrolled in CRP, a voluntary land retirement pro-gram that helps ag producers fight erosion, restore wildlife habitat, and safeguard ground and surface water.

In addition to CRP, sign-ups have ceased for wetlands and grasslands reserve programs. ...

It seems unlikely that the same legislators who dropped the ball before the election will be of much use to America’s farmers after the election.

Following the film, the audience directed ques-tions to the guest of honor and also gave personal in-sights. There was no short-age of comments on Hawk’s character, ethics and qual-ity as a person. Hawk, who is turning 80 this year, said he has learned to “count his blessings” and appreci-ate the opportunities he has been given.

Each of Hawk’s daugh-ters spoke about their rela-tionship with their father and how their lives have been positively affected by his work. The evening concluded with Mayor Bill Shirley making a surprise presentation — naming the

day in Hawk’s honor. Hawk said Allen County,

the historical society and Iola all have played an es-sential role in his success over the years.

“I know one thing for sure,” Hawk said. “None of this would have been pos-sible if it weren’t for Iola.”

Hawk’s paintings have received significant atten-tion since he devoted his full attention to his work in the ’70s — being dis-played in the Reagan Li-brary in Washington D.C., on the cover of Kansas magazine, and through the advertising and market-ing of numerous compa-nies’ packaging and retail items.

The meeting was also an opportunity to introduce new executive director of

the society, Elyssa Jackson. Jackson took a few minutes to tell the audience about her life and motivations for coming to work in Iola.

put together something that we are satisfied with,” Masterson said.

In addition, Masterson said he has explored plans to update technology sys-tems with the college — in-cluding phone systems.

He said he has spoken with representatives with Peak Uptime, a Tulsa-based IT solutions company that specializes in “forklift” updates on organizations’ systems. Masterson said the term “forklift” means to do a complete renova-tion and replacement of systems.

He said it is important for the college to look at making both technological and physical renovations at the same time, and ACC is making an effort to coor-dinate the plans.

IN OTHER BUSINESS board members approved the purchase of a John Deere Gator for use with the ACC farm education as well as general use on the campus. The cost of the vehicle is $10,267.68 and will be purchased locally through O’Malley Equip-ment.

Masterson also ex-pressed ACC will support the economic development position being proposed to the county by Iola In-dustries and Thrive Allen County. He said it is impor-tant for the college to show its support of the local economy, not just in Iola.

“They want this to be a county entity instead of an Iola entity, and I think that could be beneficial for our students,” Masterson said. “We will be involved as a college.”

Cynthia Jacobson, vice president of student af-fairs, introduced a pro-gram that teaches in-coming students how to function better in a college environment. The program is in collaboration with the University of Kansas. The curriculum gives the ins and outs of student life, including requesting addi-tional time for taking tests.

To conclude the meeting, the board discussed filling Jim Talkington’s replace-ment on the board. Ken McGuffin, a longtime edu-cator, has offered to fill the position. Talkington is cur-rently running unopposed for county commissioner.

Those outside Syria gen-erally have some form of haven, however tenuous or Spartan their existence in exile. Many live in formal camps where minimum ne-cessities are available and children attend schools. In-ternational aid groups and nations have provided aid.

For the uprooted inside Syria, there is little or no security, and scant help. Many depend on the char-ity of relatives or friendly families, or on limited help from aid organizations and the government.

Multitudes of bedrag-

gled and desperate Syr-ians have been wandering for months, traveling from place to place in search of shelter, often under the threat of artillery shelling and aerial bombardment.

Thousands have become stuck along the Syrian-Turkish border in recent weeks as Turkey has squeezed entries until the government can build more camps, creating a growing logjam of humanity.

Homeless Syrians, sev-eral of them pregnant, besieged journalists who managed to enter Syria and encountered the families living amid the olive trees.

Food supplies, medical care and sanitary facilities were spotty or nonexistent, they said.

“This is no way for us to live,” said a matriarch who gave her name as Um Talal and was part of an extend-

ed family living outdoors. “How can we keep the chil-dren from getting sick?”

Because it is practically surrounded by Turkey, this border region has become a kind of de facto buffer zone, attracting refugees and rebel combatants. Syr-ian artillery and aircraft have not targeted the area, apparently fearing that an errant strike across the border could further in-flame already-combustible Turkish-Syrian relations.

That relative tranquillity has produced an influx of people. Atma’s population has more than tripled, to more than 15,000.

“to help broaden his appeal to the narrow slice of un-decided voters. In recent days, Romney has prom-ised his tax plan would not benefit the wealthy, emphasized his work with Democrats as Massachu-setts governor and down-played plans to curtail women’s abortion rights.

Democrats were dis-mayed that Obama didn’t more aggressively call out Romney’s move to the cen-ter during the first debate. Since then, the president has been more forceful in doing so on the campaign trail and in television ads.

During debate prepara-

tions, aides are working on tailoring that message to a debate format. And they’re working on bal-ancing aggressive tactics with the debate’s town-hall format, which often requires candidates to show a connection with questioners from the audi-ence.

Romney aides suggest-ed the former Massachu-setts governor would be prepared regardless of Obama’s adjustments.

“The president can change his style,” Romney adviser Ed Gillespie said on “Fox News Sunday.” ‘’He can change his tac-tics. He can’t change his record.”

The Obama campaign released a new TV ad today featuring factory workers lauding the president’s re-cord on job creation.

“We have a whole sec-ond shift that we brought

in, new employees, and we have a future at our plant now,” says a woman in the ad titled “Main Street.” It will air in Colorado, Iowa, Nevada and Virginia, all key battleground states.

Register/Richard LukenIola High’s Kyra Moore (11) and Emery Driskel (24) go up for a block against Burlington High’s Madison Stadel in an Anderson County volleyball tournament in Garnett.

GARNETT — An 0-4 record Saturday at the Anderson Coun-ty High Invitational Volleyball Tournament belied the effort and quality of play offered up by Iola High’s Fillies against some tough competition, their head coach said.

Iola lost to Burlington 25-19, 25-4 to top-seeded Burlington; 24-26, 25-22, 25-20 to Independence, 18-25, 25-9, 25-17 to Wellsville; and 25-17, 25-14 to Fort Scott.

“The results of the tourna-ment don’t reflect how great the girls played,” Iola head coach Emily Sigg said. “They had some hard-fought matches that didn’t end in our favor.”

Emery Driskel found herself at the top of the stat sheet through-out the day for the Fillies.

The sophomore was named to the all-tournament team — one of only six players selected from the eight-team tournament.

Against top-seeded Burling-ton, Driskel had four digs, two solo blocks and an ace. Kyra Moore added five assists, two digs and three points, includ-ing two aces. Addie Haar had a kill and two digs; Breanna Stout chipped in with two kills and a dig. Hannah Endicott had two

digs, Katie Thompson had a kill and a dig, Emma Sigg provided a dig and Emma Piazza had three assists.

Driskel pounded in 11 kills against Independence, to go with eight digs, three aces (six points overall), an assist and a solo block. Moore had three kills, 16 assists, five digs and five points, includ-ing a service ace. Haar had four

kills, a block assist and a dig. Stout had eight kills, two assists, two solo blocks, two block assists and five digs. Endicott had five digs. Thompson four kills, four aces and five digs. Emma Sigg had three digs and Piazza had six points with an ace, nine assists, a solo block, a block assist and five digs.

The Fillies started out on a high note against Wellsviille,

winning the first game, “a huge accomplishment for us,” Coach Sigg said. “I was really proud of how they played and hope that our level of play gave the girls confidence in their abilities and that we can finish playing the season at that level.”

Piazza had 11 assists, six digs, three points, a service ace, a kill and a block assist. Driskel had five kills, two solo blocks, six digs and a set assist. Haar had five digs, two kills and an assisted block. Stout had seven kills, four digs and four service points. En-dicott had five points and a dig. Emma Sigg had two digs, Moore had four assists, two kills, two points and a dig.

Moore offered up four set as-sists, a dig and an ace against Fort Scott. Driskel had two kills, a solo block, a dig and an ace. Haar also had a kill and a solo block. Stout had three points with an ace, a kill, a block assist and a dig. Thompson notched two kills and two digs. Emma Sigg had four digs. Piazza had two kills, two set assists and an assisted block. En-dicott had a dig.

The Fillies return to Garnett Tuesday to take on Anderson County in regular season action.

Iola High’s Addie Haar, from left, goes up for a tip against Burling-ton High’s Kortney Blaufuss and Brecken Brown Saturday on the volleyball court.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — The up-coming matchup between Kansas State and West Virginia was sup-posed to break up the tie between the Wildcats and Mountaineers for first in the Big 12.

There’s no doubt who leads the league now.

No. 4 Kansas State (6-0, 3-0) emerged from Saturday’s hard-fought 27-21 win over Iowa State (4-2, 1-2) as the Big 12’s only un-beaten team, both overall and in the conference.

Though the Wildcats would quickly lose their grip on the league lead with a loss at No. 17 West Virginia — which is no doubt smarting after a 49-14 shel-lacking by Texas Tech on Satur-day — they woke up on Sunday as the unquestioned class of the conference.

Just don’t tell coach Bill Snyder.“I’d like for us to have played

better than we did across the board,” Snyder said. “There were times we played extremely well ... but by the same token, we still had some issues.”

Kansas State’s winning formu-la has been remarkably simple: Play sound, disciplined defense and let Collin Klein handle the of-fense.

Klein was brilliant again on Saturday, with 292 total yards and three rushing TDs against an Iowa State defense that entered the weekend ranked third in the Big 12 at less than 16 points al-lowed per game.

Klein converted a series of cru-cial third downs on a key drive in the fourth quarter. It produced a field goal and, more importantly, ate up over eight minutes at a time when the Cyclones desper-ately needed to make something happen on offense.

Klein also responded with a quick touchdown drive after Iowa State had seized momentum with a 30-yard TD pass from Jared Bar-nett to Ernst Brun late in the first half.

“He’s an All-American in my book. He doesn’t get the attention because he’s not as flashy and doesn’t put up the gaudy numbers that some of the other college football players do,” Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads said about Klein. “But he has a 6-0 football team that is ranked in the top five in the country.”

NEODESHA — Humboldt High’s volleyball squad went 3-3 at a Neodesha tournament Sat-urday.

The Lady Cubs defeated Bax-ter Springs in straight sets 25-21, 25-11; lost in three sets to Fredo-nia 25-19, 20-25, 25-18; downed host Neodesha 25-17, 25-19; fell to Southeast Cherokee 25-9, 25-16; lost to Parsons 25-20, 25-16; and defeated Caney Valley 25-20, 25-21.

“We are still battling inju-ries and it showed as the day wore on,” Humboldt head coach Stephanie Splechter said. “Overall, I am pleased with our performance, given the circum-stances.”

Sheri Middleton led Hum-boldt against Baxter Springs with 13 points, 10 kills and two blocks. Kayle Riebel added eight points, including three aces, to go with three kills and two blocks. Breanna Kline had three points, threee kills and two digs on defense. Anna Setter added a point with an ace and had 14 set assists.

“We played the net well in this match,” Splechter said. “We got off to big leads on both sets.”

Things didn’t go as smoothly against Fredonia.

“Fredonia seems to have our number,” Splechter said. “We did not pass as well as we can and missed three serves in a row

to start the match.”Middleton had 11 points, in-

cluding 10 kills and an ace. Kline had eight points with three aces, five kills and two digs. Setter had four digs and 16 set assists. Riebel had four points and three kills. Megan Hudlin had two aces.

Riebel and Middleton shared high point honors against Neodesha with seven apiece. Both also had two aces. Middle-ton also had five blocks. Setter had 13 asssists. Kline also had two aces to go with six points. Rachel Taylor had four points and three kills.

Middleton had six points in the loss to Southeast to go with three kills and three blocks. Riebel had five points and Kline three. Riebel also had three kills, two aces and two digs. Set-ter had nine assists.

Riebel’s eight points paced the Lady Cubs against Parsons, along with five kills. Middleton scored four points, with two blocks and two kills. Setter had seven assists.

Kline had 11 points and 11 kills to lead the way to victory against Caney Valley. Taylor followed with seven points, three of which came from aces, and four kills. Middleton had five points, three kills and two blocks. Setter had 15 as-sists.

David Eulitt/Kansas City Star/MCTKansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles (25) gets tackled by Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Gerald McCoy (93), while Chiefs guard Ryan Lilja (65) is flipped during a block at-tempt, at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Sunday.

By FRED GOODALLAP Sports Writer

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Josh Free-man threw for 328 yards and three touchdowns and Ronde Barber scored on a 78-yard interception return to help the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the struggling Kansas City Chiefs 38-10 on Sun-day.

Freeman’s inconsistency has been an issue in a slow start for Tampa Bay, but the fourth-year pro is developing a touch on deep passes that’s sparked a sputtering

offense over the past two games.Freeman teamed with Mike

Williams on a 62-yard scoring play in the first quarter and threw TD passes of 19 and 17 yards to Vin-cent Jackson in the second half as the Bucs (2-3) stopped a three-game losing streak.

The Bucs intercepted Brady Quinn twice in the Kansas City quarterback’s first start in nearly three years. They also limited NFL rushing leader Ja-maal Charles to 40 yards on 12 carries.

By JUAN CARLOS LLORCAAssociated Press

ROSWELL, N.M. (AP) — Extreme athlete Fe-lix Baumgartner landed gracefully on Earth after a 24-mile jump from the stratosphere in a dramatic, record-breaking feat that may also have marked the world’s first supersonic skydive.

Baumgartner came down safely in the eastern New Mexico desert about nine minutes after jumping from his capsule 128,097 feet, or roughly 24 miles, above Earth. He lifted his arms in victory, sending off loud cheers from jubilant on-lookers and friends inside the mission’s control center in Roswell, N.M.

“Sometimes we have to get really high to see how small we are,” an exuberant Baumgartner told report-ers outside mission control, shortly after the jump. He was expected to offer more remarks at an afternoon news conference.

The altitude he leapt from marked the highest-ever for a skydiver, though it wasn’t immediately cer-tain whether Baumgartner had broken the speed of sound during his free-fall, which was one of the goals of the mission. Organiz-ers said the descent lasted for just over nine minutes, about half of it in free-fall.

Three hours earlier, Baumgartner, known as “Fearless Felix,” had taken off in a pressurized capsule carried by a 55-story ultra-thin helium balloon. After an at-times tense ascent, which included concerns about how well his facial shield was working, the 43-year-old former military parachutist completed a final safety check-list with mission control.

As he exited his capsule from high above Earth, he flashed a thumbs-up sign, well aware that the feat was being shown live on the In-ternet.

During the ensuing jump — from more than three times the height of the av-erage cruising altitude for jetliners — Baumgartner was expected to hit a speed of 690 mph. He was believed

to have reached speeds that exceeded 700 mph.

Any contact with the capsule on his exit could have torn his pressurized suit, a rip that could expose him to a lack of oxygen and temperatures as low as mi-nus-70 degrees. That could have caused lethal bubbles to form in his bodily fluids.

But none of that hap-pened. He activated his parachute as he neared Earth, gently gliding into the desert east of Roswell and landing without any apparent difficulty. The images triggered another loud cheer from onlook-ers at mission control, among them his mother, Eva Baumgartner, who was overcome with emotion, crying.

He then was taken by he-licopter to meet fellow mem-bers of his team, whom he hugged in celebration.

C o i n c i d e n t a l l y , Baumgartner’s attempted feat also marked the 65th anniversary of U.S. test pi-lot Chuck Yeager successful attempt to become the first man to officially break the sound barrier aboard an airplane.

At Baumgartner’s in-sistence, some 30 cameras recorded the event Sun-day. Shortly after launch, screens at mission control showed the capsule as it be-gan rising high above the New Mexico desert, with cheers erupting from orga-nizers. Baumgartner could be seen on video, calmly checking instruments in-side the capsule.

Baumgartner’s team in-cluded Joe Kittinger, who first attempted to break the sound barrier from 19.5 miles up in 1960, reaching speeds of 614 mph. With Kittinger inside mission control Sunday, the two men could be heard going over technical details dur-ing the ascension

“Our guardian angel will

take care of you,” Kittinger radioed to Baumgartner around the 100,000-foot mark, and noted that it was getting “really serious” now.

An hour into the flight, Baumgartner had ascended more than 63,000 feet and had gone through a trial run of the jump sequence that would send him plum-meting toward Earth. Bal-last was dropped to speed up the ascent.

Kittinger told him, “Ev-erything is in the green. Doing great.”

As Baumgartner as-cended in the balloon, so did the number of view-ers watching on YouTube. Nearly 7.3 million watched as he sat on the edge of the capsule moments before jumping. After he landed, Red Bull posted a picture of Baumgartner on his knees on the ground to Facebook, generating nearly 216,000 likes, 10,000 comments and more than 29,000 shares in less than 40 minutes.

On Twitter, half the worldwide trending topics had something to do with the jump, pushing past sev-en NFL football games.

Among the tweets was one from NASA: “Congrat-ulations to Felix Baumgart-ner and RedBull Stratos on record-breaking leap from the edge of space!”

This attempt marked the end of a five-year road for Baumgartner, a re-cord-setting high-altitude jumper. He already made two preparation jumps in the area, one from 15 miles high and another from 18 miles high. It will also be the end of his extreme al-titude jumping career; he has promised this will be his final jump.

Baumgartner has said he plans to settle down with his girlfriend and fly heli-copters on mountain rescue and firefighting missions in the U.S. and Austria.

Skydiver lands smoothly Congratulations to Felix Baumgartner and RedBull Stratos on record-breaking leap from the edge of space.

GUANTANAMO BAY NA-VAL BASE, Cuba (AP) — A U.S. military judge is consid-ering broad security rules for the war crimes tribunal of five Guantanamo prison-ers charged in the Sept. 11 attacks, including measures to prevent the accused from publicly revealing what hap-pened to them in the CIA’s secret network of overseas prisons.

Prosecutors have asked the judge at a pretrial hear-ing starting today to approve what is known as a protec-tive order that is intended to prevent the release of clas-sified information during the eventual trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who has portrayed himself as the mastermind of the terror attacks, and four co-defen-dants.

Lawyers for the defen-dants say the rules, as pro-posed, will hobble their de-fense. The American Civil Liberties Union, which has filed a challenge to the pro-tective order, says the re-strictions will prevent the public from learning what happened to Mohammed and his co-defendants dur-ing several years of CIA con-finement and interrogation.

The protective order re-quires the court to use a 40-second delay during court

proceedings so that spec-tators, who watch behind sound-proof glass, can be prevented from hearing — from officials, lawyers or the defendants themselves — the still-classified details of the CIA’s rendition and detention program.

“What we are challeng-ing is the censorship of the defendant’s testimony based on their personal knowledge of the government’s torture and detention of them,” said Hina Shamsi, an ACLU at-torney who will be arguing against the protective order during the pretrial hearing at the U.S. base in Cuba.

The protective order, which also is being chal-lenged by a coalition of media organizations that includes The Associated Press, is overly broad be-cause it would “classify the defendants own knowledge,

thoughts and experience,” Shamsi said in an inter-view.

“It’s a truly extraordinary and chilling proposal that the government is asking the court to accept,” she said.

Protective orders are standard method in civil-ian and military trials to set rules for handling evi-dence for the prosecution and defense. Military pros-ecutors argue in court pa-pers that the Sept. 11 trial requires additional secu-rity because the accused have personal knowledge of classified information such as interrogation techniques and knowledge about which other coun-tries provided assistance in their capture.

“Each of the accused is in the unique position of having had access to classified intel-ligence sources and meth-ods,” the prosecution says in court papers. “The govern-ment, like the defense, must protect that classified infor-mation from disclosure.”

The U.S. government has acknowledged that before the defendants were taken to Guantanamo in Septem-ber 2006 they were subjected to “enhanced interrogation techniques” such as the simulated drowning method known as water-boarding.

Trial rules under scrutiny at Guantanamo

It’s a truly ex-traordinary and chilling proposal that the govern-ment is asking the court to accept.

— Hina Shamsi, an ACLU attorney

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.

Dear Drs. Donohue and Roach: I am a 26-year-old black woman. All through high school I begged my mother to let me get my ears pierced. She said to wait until I graduated from college and was on my own. I did. On both ears, the piercing left a huge scar. The doctor called it a keloid. Will you please discuss keloids and their treatment? — N.A.

Answer: Keloids are scars that form far too much scar tissue. The re-sult is an unsightly, over-grown and sometimes dis-figuring scar. Scars from surgery, from an inadver-tent cut and from proce-dures as innocuous as ear piercing can become ke-loids. People of Asian and African descent are partic-

ularly vulnerable to devel-oping such scars.

I don’t want to discour-age you, but keloid treat-ment often involves a re-currence of a keloid scar. Plastic surgeons and der-matologists are the doctors to consult for possible cor-rection.

I’ll give you some ex-amples of how keloids are treated. One way is inject-ing them with potent cor-tisone drugs, like triam-cinolone. A good response

occurs in 70 percent of pa-tients, but the recurrence rate is also high. Excision of the scar followed by triamcinolone injections into the newly healing tis-sues is another method. Silicone gel sheeting can reduce the size of a keloid. The sheeting is cut to cover the keloid and is taped in place. It’s left on the keloid for up to 24 hours, then washed and reapplied. The sheet is replaced about ev-ery two weeks. Freezing

the keloid, cryosurgery, is another way to deal with keloids. The doctor freezes the keloid, then lets it thaw and repeats the procedure two more times. The pro-cess is done on a monthly basis until the keloid has shrunk. Radiation after surgical excision is anoth-er way to remove keloids. Use of a laser in combina-tion with cortisone injec-tions has its proponents. Pressure earrings called Zimmer splints can com-pact the keloid to minimize it. The splints look like or-dinary earrings.

There is no lack of proce-dures to deal with keloids. The problem is finding the right one for the individu-al. Let the plastic surgeon or dermatologist suggest the best one for you.

To YourGoodHealth

Dear Carolyn: My two sons, 13 and 9, love to play sports, with me and with each other, and I love that, too. Despite being much younger and smaller, the 9-year-old routinely whips his big brother in driveway basketball, sprints past him in foot races and eas-ily belts baseballs over the fence while his big brother strikes out. The 13-year-old gets upset and is starting to develop “take my ball and go home” tendencies, which I don’t want to en-courage. Any thoughts on how I can work on this? — Sports With Sons

Answer: The reality you can’t escape (well, one of them) is that your older son has to work on this himself. Nothing you say to buck him up will actually buck him up. He knows what he sees.

A loving parent’s job is around the edges. You can:

1. Show confidence in your son that he’ll manage this cosmic gut-punch, and sympathy that he has to. After he complains about a whupping, say: “Yeah, that can’t feel great. I know you’ll find your way past it, though.” If he comes back with, “How?!” then you get to ask, “Great question. What do you think?” Or if it’s just a sarcastic, “Gee thanks,” then you get to shrug and say, “It doesn’t sound pretty, but, doesn’t it beat the alternatives?”

He has to answer these questions anyway, and by not attempting to answer for him, you imply that he can handle that respon-sibility. You also avoid the “You’re good at other things” trope, which is just eye-roll bait. And, you open the door to the idea of get-ting past it, vs. stopping at

getting upset.2. Serve as a source of

perspective, overtly when asked and subtly at other times. Everyone — everyev-eryeveryone — gets beaten by the proverbial 9-year-old. When it’s brother on brother, it feels like an in-sult vs. an abstraction, but the story of your 9 vs. 13 is no different from, say, Dara Torres vs. me in the pool. I will lose every time (and she’s my age!) and I have to live with the knowledge that she has gifts I don’t.

I live with it just fine, too, because I have my own pur-pose, and it has simply had to suffice — just as all the chess prodigies have to find fulfillment knowing there was a Bobby Fischer, and we might as well issue T-shirts to all artists that say, “Yeah, not da Vinci.”

Odds are you aren’t rais-ing the da Vinci of tweens, but as strange and strained as it sounds, the process your older son faces is ex-actly the same as anyone else’s in all of humanity: There’s always someone better.

But, he has his purpose,

and it will just have to do.No doubt he still needs to

find what his strengths are, and ways to find satisfac-tion in them, which brings us to . . .

3. Invest in the “You’re good at other things” trope anyway — just not in those words, or any words. In-stead, take an interest in his interests, and drive him to the practices/rehears-als/meetings they involve, and show the same joy in

your body language when he accomplishes X as you show when your 9-year-old thumps one over the fence.

The face of a proud par-ent, though, looks the same no matter what, and praise for a child’s hard work and progress uses the same words no matter what. The effort to get involved — sup-portively, not ambitiously — confers the same confi-dence that you value who he is, no matter what.

Parenting sometimes means having to butt out

OVERLAND PARK — The road has been most inhospitable for Allen Community College’s soc-cer teams this week.

Both women and men squads fell in their most recent contests at John-son County Community College last week.

The Red Devil men dropped a 3-2 decision to the Cavaliers.

Allen’s goals were cour-tesy of an unassisted tally by Jhovanty Baltazar and on a goal from Corey Hudson, with an assist by Oscar Marrufo. Jordan Drake played in goal and made two saves.

The Red Devil women fell 6-0 to Johnson County. Keelie Arbuckle played in

goal and made 12 saves.Both teams have strug-

gled on the road this month.

The loss was the men’s fifth straight since a win at Pratt on Sept. 26. The men stand at 4-9 overall and 2-6 in Jayhawk Con-ference.

The women (1-13 over-all, 1-7 in League) have dropped seven straight overall.

The squads will host Dodge City Community College this afternoon in their first home matches since Sept. 22. The games originally were sched-uled for Sunday, but were pushed back 24 hours be-cause of wet field condi-tions.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — This wasn’t quite the head-to-head matchup Allen Community College head coach was looking for.

The Red Devils, in Illi-nois for the Lincoln Land Volleyball Tournament, found themselves two players short following a violent collision in the sec-ond game of the event.

Jacqui Ortiz and Tayler Shook had both attempted to dive after a ball in the center of the court against host Lincoln Land when they collided head-on. Shook required 10 stitch-es and Ortiz had “a large headache,” Red Devil head coach Jessica Peters said.

Both were sidelined for the rest of the tourna-ment.

Their absences had an ancillary benefit for Allen, which went 1-3 in tourna-ment play.

“We made adjustments and proved to be success-ful under these condi-tions,” Peters said.

Allen lost 18-25, 26-24, 25-20, 25-20 to John A. Logan College, a Division I com-munity college in Carter-ville, Ill., on Friday; then lost to host Lincoln Land,

a Division II school, 25-15, 25-18, 15-12 to open Satur-day’s play.

Next up was another Division II school, Vin-cennes (Ind.) University, which defeated the Red Devils 25-22, 25-23, 25-19.

Allen wrapped up tour-nament play on a high note, defeating Harper Col-lege, a Division III school based out of Palatine, Ill., 20-25, 25-17, 25-23, 25-17.

“We were definitely a comparable team to (oth-ers) at this tournament,” Peters said. “We had indi-viduals who needed to find themselves for the team to be successful. We had athletes playing positions they had not been exposed to as often this season, but they made adjustments and we saw Allen compete with some and defeat oth-ers.”

Hayley Mertens led the way for the Red Dev-ils, racking up 61.5 points over the four-game tour-nament. She delivered 52 kills, had six aces, seven block assists and 54 digs.

Peters also pointed to the efforts by sophomores Autumn Douglas and Ran-di Billings, who stepped up

with 23.5 and 26.5 points, respectively.

“We are pleased with their personal perfor-mances,” Peters said. “We hope they will take the confidence they built up and apply it within the two conference matches we will face this week.”

Allen travels to Labette Community College this evening and to Johnson County Community Col-lege Wednesday.

Individual statistics fol-low for Allen over the four matches:

Tayler Shook, 6 digs; Danielle Goodman, 16 kills, 1 set assist, 30 digs, four solo blocks, three block assists, 21.5 points; Si-erra Morgison, 15 kills, 2 service aces, 22 digs, 2 block assists, 18 points; Sidney Keith, 13 kills, 2 set assists, 2 aces, 4 solo blocks, 8 block assists, 23 points; Adriee Munoz, 2 kills, 92 set assists, 48 digs, 2 block assists, 3 points; Sar-ah Charbonneau, 1 kill, 1 set as-sist, 65 digs, 2 points; Jacqui Ortiz, 19 set assists, 19 digs; Cheyanne Miller, 1 kill, 1 set assist, 4 digs, 1 block assist, 1.5 points; Hayley Mertens, 52 kills, 1 set assist, 6 aces, 54 digs, 7 block assists, 61.5 points; Randi Billings, 15 kills, 1 set assist, 1 ace, 10 digs, 6 solo blocks, 9 block assists, 26.5 points; Autumn Douglas, 13 kills, 6 set assists, 5 aces, 21 digs, 3 solo blocks, 5 block assists, 23.5 points.

Collision a literal headache for ACC

Red Devils struggle

HUMBOLDT — It took a bit for Humboldt Middle School’s volleyball team to pick up steam Saturday.

But when they did, the Lady Cubs maintained their spotless record at their own tournament.

Humboldt dropped its first game of the tourna-ment before rebounding to defeat Eureka 14-25, 25-11, 15-9. Humboldt kept up

the pace with a 25-12, 25-10 win over Cherryvale and a 25-16, 25-13 win over Yates Center.

“Eureka came out ready to play and we were a little flat in the first set,” Hum-boldt head coach Terry Meadows said. “We finally stepped it up and played our game and pulled out the win. The girls really put their heart into it today.”

Makayla McCall led the way against Eureka with six points, five kills and an ace. Kassie Angleton added five points, two kills, and three aces.

McCall had six points with three kills and three aces against Cherryvale. Angelton had five aces. Sydney Houk had three kills. Tilar Wells also had three aces to go with four points.

Annalise Whitcomb and Angleton shared high-scor-ing honors against Yates Center with five points and four aces each. Houk added four points to go with three kills.

The wins sealed an unde-feated season for Humboldt at 15-0.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Carlos Beltran and David Freese each hit two-run hom-ers and the St. Louis Cardi-nals held on to beat the San Francisco Giants 6-4 Sunday night in Game 1 of the NL championship series.

The wild-card Cardinals took an early 6-0 lead and made it stand up. Two days earlier, St. Louis overcame a 6-0 deficit to beat Washington in the deciding Game 5 of the division series.

After starter Lance Lynn struggled, the St. Louis bull-pen delivered with 5 1-3 score-less innings.

The Giants dropped to 0-3 at home so far during this postseason, outscored 20-6 at AT&T Park.

Game 2 in the best-of-seven series is tonight. Chris Car-penter pitches for the Cardi-nals against Ryan Vogelsong.

HMS squad clinches perfect season

NEW YORK (AP) — An-ibal Sanchez shut down a Yankees lineup minus in-jured Derek Jeter, and the Detroit Tigers capitalized on a missed call by an um-pire to beat New York 3-0 Sunday for a 2-0 lead in the AL championship series.

Yankees starter Hiroki Kuroda pitched perfect ball into the sixth inning.

But the slumping New York hitters looked lost a day after their captain broke his ankle in the 12th inning of a 6-4 loss.

Making his second postseason start, Sanchez pitched three-hit ball deep into the game to make Tigers manager Jim Ley-land’s handling of a bull-pen without struggling

closer Jose Valverde a lot easier.

The Tigers scored twice in the eighth after second base umpire Jeff Nelson missed a call at second base.

Game 3 in the best-of-seven series is Tuesday night in Detroit, with reigning AL MVP Justin Verlander starting for the Tigers.

Tigers take 2-0 lead over N.Y.

Cards win

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — J.W. Walsh threw for 255 yards and ac-counted for two touch-downs, and Oklahoma State survived a wild fourth-quarter rally by Kansas for a rain-soaked 20-14 victory Saturday af-ternoon.

Walsh played the whole way for the Cowboys (3-2, 1-1 Big 12), even though it was thought that Wes Lunt might be available. Lunt was the starter un-til hurting his knee Sept.

15 against Louisiana-La-fayette.

Joseph Randle added 80 yards rushing for Okla-homa State, while Mike Gundy improved to 62-32 as the head coach. He’s now tied with Pat Jones (62-60-3) for the most wins in school history.

James Sims had 138 yards and a touchdown rushing for the Jayhawks (1-5, 0-3 Big 12), who trailed 20-0 when backup quarterback Michael Cummings took over for Dayne Crist in the third quarter.

Cummings finished 5 of 10 for 75 yards and a touchdown. Crist was 10 of 22 for 136 yards.
