Lightning strike sparks house fire

By RICHARD LUKEN richard@iolaregister.com

A lightning strike was believed to have sparked a house fire that damaged the home of Christian Sanders north of Iola Tuesday.

The lightning bolt struck a pro-

pane tank behind the home near the intersection of West Virginia Road and 2200 Street. The electrical current traveled along the gas line and ignited a fire in the home’s back porch.

Crews from the LaHarpe Ru-

ral Fire Department, Iola Fire Department and volunteers from other area departments were able to keep the fire contained to the back porch, although extenSee FIRE | Page A5

SAFE BASE has received a $1.1 million Kansas Department of Education 21st Century Grant allowing Angela Henry, SAFE BASE director, to breathe easy for four more years.

The grant will fully fund the program for five years; meaning Henry won’t have to worry about the program’s survival for four more years.

SAFE BASE is a free afterschool and summer program for USD 257 elementary students. The program is in its 13th year and is funded by grants and donations.

When Henry was originally hired 13 years ago her contract was only for three years. She was told that she must find sustainability for the program. By the end of this grant’s life, in 2017, SAFE BASE will have been in operation 18 years.

“At the beginning of the program there were some concerns as to if we would come and go,” Henry said. “We didn’t. We came and stayed.”

This will be the fifth 21st Century Grant SAFE BASE has received. SAFE BASE has also received grants from Walmart, the

Helen Gates Whitehead Trust, Bowlus Fine Arts Center, Thrive Allen County, Iola Elks, Iola Lions and Great Southern Bank.

Hegwald Bridge to be demolished and replaced

By STEVEN SCHWARTZ steven@iolaregister.com

The fate of the Hegwald Bridge, or county bridge 2.8-P.6, in Humboldt has been decided. It will be demolished and replaced.

Brad Fagan, an engineer with Schwab-Eaton of Manhattan, appeared before county commissioners Tuesday morning to discuss several options for a new bridge that will be constructed as the old bridge’s replacement.

“This is a very challenging site, it does not meet typical design criteria,” Fagan said.

The bridge, which crosses Owl Creek west of Chanute, is eligible for Kansas Department

of Transportation funding. The county will pay 20 percent of the total cost of the construction, and KDOT will pay the remaining 80 percent. According to KDOT, any bridge that receives a sufficiency rating of 50 or lower on the 100-point scale is eligible for funding — the Hegwald bridge rated at 17.9.

Of the four options presented before the commission, two are being considered as a replacement. The first option is a square bridge “with a larger than necessary deck” to accommodate building the bridge directly across the creek instead of a curved structure.

“This option looks like the simplest,” Director of Public Works Bill King said.

The total cost for the first option is $1,048,236.50, or approximately $209,647.30 that the county would pay for the project.

The other option being considered would be to construct a curved bridge to span the creek on the existing alignment. The cost for the curved structure would be higher — costing $1,078,355 total and approximately $215,671 of total cost to the county.

The increase in cost is due to design work that must be done for the planning process, as well as See BRIDGE | Page A5

Thrive Allen County will help county residents complete their income tax forms.

Area residents Georgia Masterson, Jane Tweedy, Larry Tucker and Thrive grant writer John Robertson have volunteered their services. The four have received training to help others file their taxes through the IRS’s free Facil-

itated Self Assistance program.

Allen Countians who have an adjusted gross income of $57,000 or less will be eligible for free filing. People making more than that income will be charged about $20, which is the basic cost of the filing software through H&R Block.

“We are especially interested in helping people who would file an easy income form,” Robertson said, adding they might be eligible for a refund.

Defense cuts drag down US economy despite growing sales WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. economy unexpectedly shrank from October through December for the first time since 2009, hurt by the biggest cut in defense spending in 40 years, fewer exports and sluggish growth in company stockpiles. The drop occurred despite stronger consumer spending and business investment.

The Commerce Department said today that the economy contracted at an annual rate of 0.1 percent in the fourth quarter. That was a sharp slowdown from the 3.1 percent growth rate in the July-September quarter.

Economists said the drop in gross domestic product wasn’t as bleak as it looked.

The weakness was mainly the result of one-time factors. Government spending cuts and slower inventory growth, which can be volatile, subtracted a total of

2.6 percentage points from GDP. But the fact that the economy shrank at all, combined with much lower consumer confidence reported Tuesday, may raise fears about the economy’s durability in 2013. That’s because deep automatic government spending cuts will cut into domestic and defense programs starting in March unless Congress reaches a deal to avert them.

And Americans are coming to grips with an increase in Social Security taxes that has begun to leave them with less takehome pay.

Still, the government spending cuts and slack inventory growth in the fourth quarter offset a 2.2 percent increase in consumer spending. And business spending on equipment and software rose after shrinking over the summer.

Consumer spending add-

ed 1.5 percentage points to GDP, and business investment added 1.1 points — both stronger contributions than in the third quarter.

“Frankly, this is the bestlooking contraction in U.S. GDP you’ll ever see,” Paul Ashworth, an economist at

sult of Europe’s recession and slower growth in China and some other large developing countries.

Incomes, though, jumped last quarter as companies paid out special dividends and bonuses ahead of expected tax increases in

2013. Commerce estimated that businesses paid nearly $40 billion in early dividends. After-tax income, adjusted for inflation, rose 6.8 percent, the most in nearly four years.

Superstorm Sandy likely also dragged on growth by closing factories, disrupting shipping and shutting down retail stores. While

in sales. Slower inventory growth means factories likely produced less.

Heavy equipment maker Caterpillar, Inc. said this week that it reduced its inventories by $2 billion in the fourth quarter as global sales declined from a year earlier.

The biggest question going forward is how consumers react to the expiration of a Social Security tax cut.

Congress and the White House allowed the temporary tax cut to expire in January, but reached a deal to keep income taxes from rising on most Americans.

The tax increase will lower take home pay this year by about 2 percent. That means a household earning $50,000 a year will have about $1,000 less to spend.

A household with two highpaid workers will have up to $4,500 less.

TUSTIN, Calif. (AP) — The massive blimplike aircraft flies but just barely, hovering only a dozen feet off a military hangar floor during flight testing south of Los Angeles.

Still, the fact that the hulking Aeroscraft could fly for just a few minutes represents a step forward in aviation, according to the engineers who developed it. The Department of Defense and NASA have invested $35 million in the prototype because of its potential to one day carry more cargo than any other aircraft to disaster zones and forward military bases.

“I realized that I put a little dot in the line of aviation history. A little dot for something that has never been demonstrated before, now it’s feasible,” said flight control engineer Munir JojoVerge.

The airship is undergoing testing this month at Marine Corps Air Station in Tustin, and must go through several more rounds of flight testing before it could be used in a disaster zone or anywhere else. The first major flight test took place Jan. 3.

The biggest challenge for engineers is making sure the airship will be able to withstand high winds and other extreme weather conditions, JojoVerge said.

Worldwide Aeros, the company that developed the aircraft, said it also must secure more funding for the next round of flight testing, but is hopeful the Defense Department and others will step in again as investors.

The company says the cargo airship’s potential to carry more cargo more efficiently than ever before would provide the U.S. military with an advantage on the battlefield and greater capacity to save more lives during natural disasters.

the department did not specify its effects on GDP, it estimated that Sandy destroyed about $36 billion in buildings and other private property and $8.6 billion in government property.

Subpar growth has held back hiring. The economy has created about 150,000 jobs a month, on average, for the past two years.

That’s barely enough to reduce the unemployment rate, which has been 7.8 percent for the past two months.

Economists forecast that unemployment stayed at the still-high rate again this month. The government releases the January jobs report Friday.

The slower growth in stockpiles comes after a big jump in the third quarter. Companies frequently cut back on inventories if they anticipate a slowdown

French troops to leave Mali

By KRISTA LARSON Associated Press

SEVARE, Mali (AP) — France’s foreign minister said today that French forces would depart Mali “quickly” following their success in taking control of the airport in Kidal, a key position in the last remaining urban stronghold of Islamist extremists in northern Mali.

French and Malian troops have recaptured two of the other provincial capitals, Timbuktu and Gao, in recent days. Once France, with its thousands of troops, fighter planes and helicopters, leaves, Mali’s weak army and soldiers from neighboring countries Islamists might be hardpressed to retain control of northern Mali’s cities if the Islamists attempt a comeback from their desert hideouts.

“Now it’s up to African countries to take over,” French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told Le Parisien newspaper. “We decided to put the means — in men and supplies — to make the mission succeed and hit hard. But the French aspect was never expected to be maintained.

We will leave quickly.”

Haminy Maiga, the interim president of the Kidal regional assembly, said French forces met no resistance when they arrived

late Tuesday.

“The French arrived at 9:30 p.m. aboard four planes, which landed one after another. Afterwards they took the airport and then entered the town, and there was no combat,” said Maiga, who had been in touch with people in the town by satellite phone as all the normal phone networks were down.

“The French are patrolling the town and two helicopters are patrolling overhead,” he added.

In Paris, French army Col. Thierry Burkhard confirmed that the airport was taken overnight and described the operation in Kidal itself as “ongoing.”

On Tuesday, a secular Tuareg rebel group had asserted that they were in control of Kidal and other small towns in northern Mali.

Maiga said those fighters had left Kidal and were at the entry posts on the roads from Gao and Tessalit.

France, the former colonial ruler, began sending in troops, helicopters and warplanes on Jan. 11 to turn the tide after the armed Islamists began encroaching on the south, toward the capital. French and Malian troops seized Gao during the weekend and took Timbuktu on Monday. The Islamists gave up both cities and retreated into the surrounding desert.

If your veterinarian recommended a dental cleaning of your pets teeth, then a large amount of plaque was noticed during your pets physical exam. Unfortunately, our pets are not willing subjects for a good tooth brushing therefore resulting plaque and tartar builds up quickly on their teeth. Tartar and plaque will cause gum recession, abscessed teeth, bad breath and tooth loss, some of which could be painful to your pet.

The plaque accumulates to form a hard calculus called tarter.

Tartar is the brown coating on your pet’s teeth and cannot be removed with a simple brushing. This is what you see when you look at your pet’s teeth. This tartar contains large amounts of bacteria that can enter the blood stream and attach to the valves of the heart resulting in congestive heart failure over time. This same bacteria can also cause damage to other organs.

Small and short nosed breeds tend to have more trouble with tartar build up due to the teeth being close together.

Tartar cannot be removed except by scaling with dental instruments. The dog or cat is anesthetized and an electronic scaler vibrates off the accumulated tarter. Gum recession will cause loosened teeth and these need to be removed. We then use a polishing agent to smooth over any indentions on the surface of the tooth. Often times antibiotics are given afterwards to remove any remaining bacteria.

Prevention of plaque is nearly impossible unless you are brushing your pets teeth twice daily. Therefore we have to use other means of plaque control such as oral rinses, antiseptic dental solutions you can add to the water bowl, dental chews or various chew toys. There is also a dental food that is shown to help remove the plaque build up.

We have seen that most pets require a dental cleaning at about the age of 5. By cleaning their teeth frequently, the chance of tooth loss and heart problems decrease substantially.

Senate holds hearings on Brownback’s tax plan

By JOHN HANNA AP Political Writer

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan told legislators Tuesday that Kansas must further reduce individual income tax rates to remain economically competitive, but he faced questions about whether it’s fair to the poor to offset those cuts by scrapping deductions for homeowners and raising additional sales tax revenues.

The Republican-dominated Senate Assessment and Taxation Committee opened hearings on tax proposals from conservative GOP Gov. Sam Brownback, expanding two planned days of testimony to three almost immediately so members would have more time to question Jordan.

Brownback wants to phase in additional cuts in individual income tax rates over three years, following up on aggressive income tax cuts last year.

But to keep the budget stable, he also wants to eliminate popular income tax deductions for the interest on home mortgages and residential property taxes.

He also wants to keep the state’s sales tax at its current 6.3 percent rate, rather than dropping it to 5.7 percent in July as dictated by a

budget-balancing measure enacted three years ago.

Jordan said the governor’s goal is to phase out individual i n c o m e taxes. Republican gover nors Brownback and legislators in other states, including Louisiana, Missouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma, also are talking about slashing state income taxes in the wake of Kansas’ cuts last year. Leaders in all the states say they believe it would spur their economies.

“The goal of the tax policy the governor is working on is, let’s grow the Kansas economy,” Jordan said.

“The competitiveness has grown around the country.”

But Brownback’s plan is drawing criticism from the Washington-based Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, a nonpartisan research group. Before hearings started Tuesday, the institute provided The Associated Press with an analysis showing that with the sales tax provision, the plan would boost taxes slightly for Kansans earning less than $20,000 a year while giving the most relief

to Kansans earning more than $180,000.

“The governor’s proposal will take an unfair tax system and make it more unfair,” Matthew Gardner, the institute’s executive director, said during an interview.

But the group’s analysis also shows that all classes of taxpayers — from the bottom 20 percent earning less than $20,000 to the top 1 percent earning $439,000 or more — would see at least a small income tax cut. Jordan has said all income taxpayers would benefit. The institute’s analysis “confirms what we’ve been telling people all along,” he said in a statement before the hearings.

Even some Republicans have been wary of eliminating the tax relief for homeowners because more than 300,000 filers claim property tax deductions and about the same number claim deductions on home mortgage interest. Brownback’s administration estimates that ending the deductions will raise $231 million during the fiscal year beginning in July, but the Washington institute believes that estimate is overly optimistic.

Jordan said the governor is being “pragmatic”

as he pursues his goal of eliminating income taxes, adding, “I think the governor and everybody’s willing to meet with anybody who has a different idea.”

The institute said that while the poorest taxpayers would see their income taxes drop slightly under Brownback’s plan, the sales tax change would more than offset it, boosting their overall tax burden by $22 a year, which equals two-tenths of 1 percent of the average income for people earning less than $20,000. Meanwhile, even with the sales tax provision, the top 1 percent will save on average more than $6,500 a year, which equals six-tenths of 1 percent of their income.

“It’s another round of pretty meaningful tax cuts at the top,” Gardner said.

Last week, Jordan met with reporters to bolster the administration’s case that further cuts in individual income tax rates would more than offset the loss of the deductions for homeowners. He had examples from four counties.

During Tuesday’s hearing, Jordan also noted that about 300,000 Kansans also receive help from the state to buy food.

“You’ve got to look at it as a full package,” he said.

SALINA, Kan. (AP) — Saline County authorities say a television crew has been in Kansas looking for Bigfoot.

The Salina Journal reports that Salina County sheriff ’s deputies got a call of suspicious vehicles Monday near a rural residence.

Sheriff Glen Kochanowski says deputies found a television crew with several sport utility vehicles and a U-Haul at the site and determined the vehicles belonged to the crew from Ping Pong Productions of Los Angeles, Calif. The sheriff says the crew had

the landowner’s permission to be at the location.

A representative of the television crew said they had received information about a Bigfoot sighting in the area and were recording video for a cable program called “Finding Bigfoot.”

But the sheriff says members of the crew told deputies they hadn’t found anything.

Rubio’s immigration ‘reality’ show WASHINGTON — Marco Rubio was a bundle of nervous energy as he waited his turn to speak about the bipartisan immigration plan he had helped to draft.

The Republican senator from Florida clasped his hands in front, then in back, then in front again. He poked his tongue into his cheek, he clenched his jaw, and he licked his lips. He fiddled with his suit-jacket button once, then again, then a third time. He rubbed his fingers together, then interlocked them.

Dana Milbank Washington Post Writers Group His anxiety was understandable: Rubio, one of the Republican Party’s hottest presidential prospects for 2016, was about to make official his support for allowing undocumented immigrants to become legal — the dreaded “amnesty” that is poison to many a Republican primary voter.

But when his turn came to speak in the Senate TV studio, Rubio gripped the lectern with both hands and talked in a strong, confident voice about the need to “address the reality” that there must be a path to legitimacy for illegal immigrants.

“We are dealing with 11 million human beings who are — who are — who are here undocumented, the vast and enormous majority of whom have come here in pursuit of what all of us would recognize as the American dream,” he said.

In English, and then in Spanish, he recited his well-known credentials on the subject. “I am clearly new to this issue in terms of the Senate,” he said. “I’m not new in terms of my life. I live surrounded by immigrants. My neighbors are immigrants. My

cowed by Smith and his ilk will probably get the attention of House Republicans who would otherwise block the Senate plan.

It certainly got the attention of the news media. There are seats for 24 in the Senate TV studio, but there were 110 people in the room before the senators and their staffers arrived. No fewer than 21 TV cameras, and a bilingual cacophony, awaited the lawmakers.

Rubio was the last of five senators to take the stage (the other three didn’t participate) and the last to talk. He listened as Schumer, a fiercely partisan Democrat, observed of McCain and Rubio: “By their presence today, my Republican colleagues are making a significant statement.”

Finally, after Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., delivered a long, grandstanding statement in Spanish, Rubio got his turn. “First of all, let me just say, John, I don’t agree with anything he just said about you in Spanish,” he joked to McCain. He then spoke about his

family is immigrants. Married into a family of immigrants. I see immigration every single day. I see the good of immigration.”

Eight senators — four Democrats and four Republicans — agreed on the principles outlined Monday for comprehensive immigration reform. But while the group was led by Sens. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and John McCain, R-Ariz., the one who matters most to the success of this latest immigration effort is Rubio.

RUBIO HAS STRONG credentials among the tea party faithful, and he is mentioned as the top 2016 presidential choice by some of the most conservative elements of the GOP. His willingness to risk both of these is an admirable act of political bravery.

Republicans, unnerved by the drubbing Mitt Romney received from Latino voters, are gradually moving toward the realization that they’ve got to drop their no-

amnesty absolutism. But the type of voters who dominate the Republican presidential primaries are not necessarily on board with the change. McCain had to harden his position considerably to win the nomination in 2008, and Romney battled with his primary rivals over who would be the toughest on illegal immigrants.

For Rubio, the safer course would be to keep quiet about his support for what conservatives call amnesty — as Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, did Monday. “By granting amnesty, the Senate proposal actually compounds the problem by encouraging more illegal immigration,” he said in a statement. Rubio’s refusal to be

“We need to be honest with ourselves about how important immigration is for our economy,” he said.

In the questioning that followed, a reporter asked Rubio to elaborate on his support for the new proposal, which goes well beyond his previous immigration efforts. “We have to deal with the people that are here now in a way that’s responsible but humane, and this does that,” he said.

It’s unclear whether Republicans are ready to hear such a message. But Rubio is courageous to try.

He became chief in 1945 and held that position until 1959, when he sought a less demanding post and was made night sergeant under Chief Everett Shepherd.

Sheriff Bryan Murphy said the old cameras required multiple attachments that were clipped to the officers’ shirts. The cost of the shirts, with all of the attachments, was around $140 for the “bottom line”

Murphy said with the updated equipment, only one attachment is needed for the cameras, requiring a less technical uniform. He said this allows the department to purchase higher quality uniforms for the officers. The total cost will be approximately $3,200.

Wallenda overcomes gusty winds in skywalk

By WADE TATANGELO The Bradenton Herald

SARASOTA, Fla. — Famed aerialist Nik Wallenda, a tiny blur against a clear blue sky, paused before completing his latest deathdefying wire walk. Gusts of wind bent the palm trees far below.

Gasps became audible.

Spectators imagined the worst: “My stomach just dropped,” Donna Enright said.

But the 34-year-old Wallenda, dressed in a formfitting yellow shirt and blue jeans, took a knee toward the end of his skywalk merely for showmanship.

He had no trouble Tuesday with his stroll high above over U.S. 41 in downtown Sarasota.

Wallenda completed his stunt across the busy Sarasota street that closed a mere 15 minutes before the skywalk started.

Donna Enright and husband, Steve Enright, who have a home on Siesta Key, were impressed.

“That was pretty amazing,” Steve said. “I thought they were going to cancel it because of the wind.”

Wallenda, clutching a balancing pole and wearing a gold cross around his neck, traversed about 600 feet of open space at a height of 200 feet.

Lifted by a crane positioned by the Unconditional Surrender “kissing statue,” he climbed out of the machine’s metal basket and onto the wire, where he walked on a slight decline to

Aerialist Nik Wallenda, travels from a crane to the Marina Tower on a wire 200 feet in the air in downtown Sarasota, Fla., Tuesday morning. Wallenda did not have a harness or net for the roughly 600 feet skywalk. the top of the Marina Tower building.

The high wire act, watched by hundreds of nervous attendees of all ages — including Wallenda’s wife and fellow skywalker, Erendira, their three young children and his mom, Delilah Troffer — started shortly after 11 a.m.

The Sarasota native completed the skywalk, without a net or safety tether, in about seven minutes. Wallenda wore his standard tightrope shoes.

“It was pretty gusty up there,” he said during a post-skywalk press conference. “I’d say 25-30 mph winds.”

Wallenda, whose stunt was done primarily to promote his upcoming appear-

ance and ongoing work with Circus Sarasota, is a sixtime Guinness world record holder for aerial feats.

He wire-walked across Niagara Falls last year on national TV. In February 2010, Wallenda, the star of that season’s Circus Sarasota, survived his death-defying hire-wire walk between One Watergate Condominium and Sarasota’s Ritz-Carlton Hotel.

With several hundred spectators sitting on the lawn, Wallenda performed acrobatics 75 feet in the air in the center of St. Armand’s Circle in August 2010.

But not all Wallenda family stunts have been successful.

In 1962, a seven-person

chair pyramid collapsed in Detroit, throwing three of the Wallendas to the ground, killing Richard Faughnan and Dieter Schepp. Karl Wallenda, the patriarch of the family, injured his pelvis. Mario Wallenda was paralyzed and has been in a wheelchair for 50 years.

In 1978, Karl plunged 10 stories to his death during a walk between two buildings in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

He was 73.

Wallenda said he plans to retire from skywalking at age 50. But not before conquering the Grand Canyon.

“I’m close to announcing a date,” he said with a smile.

Asked if the skywalks had become routine, he responded, “Absolutely not.

Every single one, I’m risking my life.”

BP pleads guilty to manslaughter

By MICHAEL MUSKAL Los Angeles Times

A federal judge in New Orleans accepted an agreement for BP to plead guilty to manslaughter and other charges and pay a record fine in connection with the 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, which ranks as one of the nation’s worst environmental disasters.

The agreement, announced in November, allowed a unit of the Londonbased oil giant to plead guilty Tuesday to 11 counts

of seaman’s manslaughter in connection with the explosion and fire on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in the gulf. The company also entered a guilty plea to one felony count of obstruction of Congress and two environmental misdemeanors.

The company was fined $4 billion in connection with the spill and was given five years’ probation.

Tuesday’s court action ends the company’s current criminal issues, but is just one step in the ongoing pro-

ceedings related to the disaster. Four current or former BP employees have been indicted on criminal charges.

BP has separately agreed to a $7.8 billion settlement with lawyers representing Gulf Coast residents and businesses and could be assessed more than $17 billion under the Clean Water Act. “Today’s guilty plea and sentencing represent a significant step forward in the Justice Department’s ongoing efforts to seek justice on behalf of those affected by

one of the worst environmental disasters in American history,” Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. said in a statement. “I’m pleased to note that more than half of this landmark resolution — which totals $4 billion in penalties and fines and represents the single largest criminal resolution ever — will help to provide direct support to Gulf Coast residents as communities throughout the region continue to recover and rebuild.”

Wellsville edges Fillies, 31-29 Cubs win

pivotal TVL clash

By RICHARD LUKEN richard@iolaregister.com

WELLSVILLE — That elusive brass ring, in the form of their first win of the season, remains just out of reach for Iola High’s girls.

Tuesday’s loss may be the toughest of all for the Fillies, who battled back valiantly to make up an 11-point second-half deficit to twice take the lead in the fourth quarter.

But a pair of costly mistakes in the game’s final minute turned the game in Wellsville’s favor.

The Lady Eagles took the lead for good on a pair of Darcy Bonzo free throws, then parlayed a steal into a layup by Ashley Sparks in the final minute for a 31-29 win.

The loss could be attributed in part to Iola’s energy consumed in the comeback, Fillies coach Becky Carlson said.

“We’ve got to start out stronger than we did tonight,” Carlson said. “By the time we got the lead, we didn’t have any energy left.”

Iola trailed 24-13 late in the third quarter when the Fillies began to find their groove.

Emma Piazza’s 3-pointer at the 6:07 mark of the fourth quarter capped a 12-0 Iola run to give the Fillies their first lead of the game at 25-24.

A Moriah Kayhill jumper returned the lead to Wellsville be-

The Fillies failed to extend the lead on their next two possessions after the Lady Eagles turned the ball over twice on traveling calls.

Bonzo’s charities gave Wells-

ville a 28-27 lead with 1:25 remaining.

Jo Lohman missed the front end of a 1-and-1 free throw attempt with 1:08 left, giving possession back to Wellsville and setting up perhaps the most crucial sequence of the tensionpacked final moments.

Iola’s Lexie Long disrupted Wellsville’s attempt to run a stall offense, stepping in for the steal.

But teammate Hannah Endicott turned her head to run upcourt and didn’t see Long’s outlet pass headed in her direction.

HUMBOLDT — A stout Eureka High Tornadoes team gave Humboldt High a run for its money — and a re-affirming win for the Cubs, who emerged with a 59-40 victory.

The win keeps Humboldt’s record perfect at 15-0.

“Eureka is a very good team, they’re very solid,” Humboldt coach David Taylor said.

Taylor was especially proud of his team’s defensive effort in the first half, in which they showed a good amount of focus.

The Cubs held the Tornadoes to 13 points in the first two quarters, compared to Humboldt’s 31.

For the second half, the Cubs came out with a strong 17-point third quarter.

Taylor said it was essential to have a “good first three minutes of the third quarter,” and his team delivered.

The Tornadoes bounced back in the fourth with 18 points, but it was too little too late.

Lancers hold off SCC Second half sinks Mustangs

By STEVEN SCHWARTZ steven@iolaregister.com

LE ROY — Southern Coffey County High’s rematch with Crest High turned out much closer than their first go-around did.

The Titans held close to the Lancers, but it wasn’t quite enough to stop another powerful performance from Crest’s Kyle Hammond.

A bolstered second-half effort from the Titans kept things interesting for the Lancers, but Crest held on in the fourth for the 50-41 win Tuesday night in Le Roy. The game was a far cry from the season-opener in which

Crest won by 29.

“I wish I could tell you what to think about tonight,” Crest coach Travis Hermreck said, “but I really don’t know. We didn’t play a good basketball game, but we found a way to win, so that’s a plus. I know that Southern Coffey County is a much improved team.”

The first quarter set the tone for the game. Both teams came out quickly from long distance.

SCC’s Aaron True hit a 3-pointer to start the scoring, but the Lancers’ Brock Ellis had a quick comeback with back-to-back See CREST | Page B3

By RICHARD LUKEN richard@iolaregister.com

WELLSVILLE — Trouble came in threes for Iola High’s Mustangs Tuesday.

Wellsville High’s three-headed monster — forward Carter Mann and guards Cole Silsby and Shamus Kearney — combined to drain six 3-pointers and pair of traditional 3-point plays during the evening’s festivities.

They accounted for all 19 of the Eagles’ points in pivotal quarter number three, turning a fourpoint halftime deficit into a lead they would not relinquish in a 6256 victory.

The loss also happens to be the third in the row for the Mustangs, who dropped to 7-7 on the season.

“We did a poor job of stopping their offense, and keeping them from doing whatever they wanted,” Mustang coach Bill Peeper said. “We didn’t react that well to how physical the game was.”

Especially in the second half.

On multiple occasions, a Mustang player would corral a rebound down or pull in a pass down low only to run into a defender ready to swipe at the ball.

The frenetic play turned into plenty of transition points for the Eagles, who trailed 31-27 early in the second half before embarking on a 15-3 run, keyed by a 3-pointer and a pair of traditional 3-point plays by Mann in a two-minute span.

Silsby, meanwhile, kept the momentum squarely in Wellsville’s favor by draining a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give the Eagles a 4638 lead after the third quarter.

Iola did not go quietly.

Adam Kauth scored a bucket with 6 1/2 minutes remaining in the contest, and Mason Coons’ 3-pointer 30 seconds later cut the deficit to 49-43 with 6 minutes left.

But Mann responded with another trey to push the lead to 52-43.

Lady Titans prevail over Crest girls

By STEVEN SCHWARTZ steven@iolaregister.com

Register/Steven Schwartz

Crest High’s Kyle Hammond (21) drives with force to the basket over Southern Coffey County High defenders Walker Harred (42) and Charlie Patterson (23) Tuesday.

LE ROY — A “lack of consistency” seemed to be the culprit in the Crest High Lady Lancers’ 59-28 loss to Southern Coffey County High Tuesday night in Le Roy, according to head coach Ben Vaughn.

Of course, SCC’s speed and unrelenting full-court press didn’t help the matter. The Titans hit

hard from the beginning, starting off with a 6-0 run. Kurston Gilliland had the first Lancer points of the game — a free throw with just under four minutes left in the first quarter. Some quick points from SCC’s Kalyn Deal and Sarah Webb had the Lancers on their heels, 18-4, going into the second.

“We shot the ball much better,” Lady Titan coach Jeff True said, noting SCC went 27 of 54, 50 per-

cent, from the field. “The girls did a nice job defensively. We put a lot of pressure on them that led to quite a few turnovers.”

Despite the fact that Gilliland got into the game during the end of the second half, it wasn’t enough for a full Crest comeback. Chanae Newkirk hit a long 3-pointer for the Titans at the 5:40 See LADY TITANS | Page B2

MV thumps Jets, 56-17 BUFFALO — Marmaton Valley High’s boys put in four full quarters of highly productive basketball Tuesday.

The Wildcats raced to a 20-6 lead over their hosts from Altoona-Midway, then steadily expanded their cushion to 44-10 at halftime and 50-14 after three quarters.

The Wildcats’ 56-17 victory offered an opportunity for coach Tim Stinnett to provide plenty of playing time up and down his roster.

“The kids played hard all 32 minutes,” Stinnett said. “They knew we were

at Altoona-Midway for a basketball game tonight.”

Marmaton Valley’s press was particularly stifling, leading to several transition baskets throughout the first half.

Cole Becker led the way with 20 points, five rebounds, five assists and four steals. Levi Ramsey followed with 10 points and six boards. Ryan Smith and Brady Newman scored six points each, followed

by Lucas Hamlin with five, Chance Stevenson with four and Carlos Gonzales and Michael Genn with one apiece. Nathan Smarth chipped in two points

and seven rebounds.

The Wildcats (2-12 overall) committed only 10 turnovers, most coming in the second half after the game was effectively decided.

The Wildcat junior varsity pulled in a 23-10 victory in two quarters. Newman scored nine and Sage Hall had six to lead the victors.

mark, changing the tone, and the momentum, in their favor for the remainder of the game. The Titans went into the locker room energized, the Lancers went in doubtful.

“We don’t have any consistency. We end up doing some things well and some games we don’t do anything well,” Vaughn said.

The only thing that seemed to remain consistent for the Lady Lancers was the ball rolling off the rim in most attempted field goals, and the third quarter was no different. The game opened up for SCC. They scored 24 for the quarter, compared to the Lancers’ four. SCC’s Webb and Deal were all over the Lancers.

Deal had multiple steals for scores on the full-court press. Breanna Isch began to heat up in the third as well — she hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to make the third-quarter score 54-22 Titans.

The running clock in the

fourth made for a quick end to the Lancers’ slow evening. Gilliland hit a 2-pointer with 20 seconds left in the contest, one last breath of a struggling offensive effort.

“We didn’t help on defense, and that left the backside open time after time,” Vaughn said. “We just didn’t have the fight in us.”

Gilliland led the Lancers in scoring with 12 points, followed by Brytton Strickler with eight.

As for the Titans, Webb contributed 16 points, which led the team. Isch made 13 points, and Deal had 11. Webb and Isch each had six rebounds. Kalyn Deal had six steals. Martyna Hegwald dished out four assists.

Southern Coffey County’s junior varsity won 21-9 in two quarters. Amber Emmons scored seven points, followed by Brittne Brite with six for the Lady Titans.

Wildcat girls victorious BUFFALO — Marmaton Valley High’s girls found their offensive groove Tuesday evening, pouring in 58 points against Altoona-Midway High in a 58-37 victory.

Coach Kent Houk could only wonder what the Wildcats’ output would have been had they hit all of their inside shots.

“We probably missed 10 to 15 shots from right un-

der the basket,” Houk said.

That said, the Wildcats’ hustle, particularly on defense, led the way to some easy scoring opportunities.

Marmaton Valley (5-9 overall) turned on the jets — no pun intended — with an 18-10 scoring run in the second quarter to lead 3117. Altoona-Midway kept pace in the third quarter, trailing 42-29, but Marmaton Valley closed the game

with a 16-8 run.

Kacie Shadden led the way for Marmaton Valley with 16 points and six steals, followed by Kaitlin Ensminger and Mackenzie Tynon with 10 points each.

Kailey Boyd added six points, 10 rebounds and six steals.

Nichole LaCrone led the Jets with 18 points.

Hunter Murrow and Thornbrugh each had three steals. Trey Johnson contributed six assists. Whitcomb had four rebounds.

“Johnson did a good job passing the ball, he had some good looks inside,” Taylor said.

The Humboldt junior varsity squad won 49-26 in a two-quarter game.

Kason Siemens led the scoring with 19 points.

treys. Crest emerged after three lead changes with a 10-9 lead after one quarter.

Jesse Boone, Jordan Morton and Hammond connected in the second quarter to push Crest’s lead, while SCC’s Walker Harred hit from underneath early in the period, followed by Charlie Patterson with just under two minutes left in the half.

Crest led 23-16 at halftime.

The Titans held with the Lancers, scoring 12 points to the visiting team’s 11 in the third period.

Hammond led the Lancers with 25 points, followed by Ellis with 11.

Morton had six and Boone had five.

The victory keeps Crest undefeated in Three Rivers League play. The Lancers will host Chetopa Friday for Crest’s homecoming.

Chetopa also is unbeaten in TRL action.

“I know the guys are looking forward to Chetopa because they’re unbeaten and we may face them in substate,” Hermreck said. “I don’t know if we came into tonight thinking we could just walk in and come away with an easy win, or if we were looking forward to the Chetopa game. We know what’s on the line, but we have to remember, we’re

dealing with 15- to 18-yearold boys.”

As for the Titans, Aaron True and Josiah Witteman carried the offensive performance with 14 and 13 points, respectively. The nearest top scorers were Chism Newkirk and Angus Nelson — they each had four points.

HUMBOLDT — The Lady Cubs did a lot of things right Tuesday night against Eureka High, according to head coach Sherri Nelson, but it wasn’t enought to edge out a win against the Tornadoes.

“The Lady Cubs lost a hard-fought battle tonight.

We did so many things well, but we just didn’t sink enough shots,” Nelson said in an email.

The Cubs lost the contest 43-32 to Eureka High.

Brea Kline led the scoring for the Cubs with eight points, followed by Delaney Umholtz with five and Megan Hudlin with four points. Sheri Middleton brought down 10 boards and Kayle Riebel had six.

Lewis tied to deer antler spray ruckus NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Of all the topics Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis wanted to talk about at Super Bowl media day, deer-antler spray probably was not on the list.

He declined to directly address in any detail Tuesday questions about a Sports Illustrated report that he sought help from a company that makes the unorthodox product to speed his recovery from a torn right triceps. Lewis was the NFL’s leading tackler in the

playoffs after missing 10 regular-season games with the injury.

The company, Sports With Alternatives To Steroids (SWATS), says its deer-antler substance contains a banned performance-enhancer connected to human growth hormone.

Lewis dismissed the report as “stupidity.”

Sport Illustrated reported that SWATS owner Mitch Ross recorded a call with Lewis hours after the player hurt his arm in an

October game against Dallas. According to the report, Lewis asked Ross to send him deer-antler spray and pills, along with other products made by the company.

The magazine also said that when it spoke to Lewis for its story, he acknowledged asking Ross for “some more of the regular stuff ” on the night of the injury and that he has been associated with the company “for a couple years through Hue Jackson.”

H Mustangs Continued from B1

Wellsville’s margin was 6049 when Coons scored. Kearney went 1 for 2 on a pair of free throws, and the Mustangs’ Tyler Clubine hit a 3-pointer with 30 seconds left to cut the gap to six.

Tyler McIntosh later pared the deficit to 61-56 with a free throw with 17 seconds left, but Iola could get no closer.

The teams traded momentum swings in the early going. Iola ran off seven straight points to lead 9-4

before Wellsville later responded with a 10-2 run to lead 14-11.

The game featured five lead changes in the first half. Tyler Powelson’s basket with 15 seconds left in the second quarter gave the Mustangs a 29-27 lead at intermission.

The Mustangs sported four players in double figures, led by Coons with 13 points and three assists, Powelson with 11 points, 10 rebounds and two steals and Trent Latta and Kauth with 10 points apiece. Latta also had four assists.

Powelson earned a starting spot due to Levi Ashmore’s absence (illness) and responded with eight points (six in the first half) and 10 rebounds .

“Tyler (Powelson) really did a nice job with his aggressiveness,” Peeper said.

Silsby (19 points), Mann (18) and Kearney (13) accounted for 50 of Wellsville’s 62 points.

“We just have to learn from our mistakes and get better,” Peeper said. “Anderson County plays the same style, so we’ll have to be ready for them Friday.”

Iola won the junior varsity contest 40-30, led by Kohl Endicott with 10, Adam Peterson with eight, Fryendz Wallace with seven and Bryan Mueller with six. Kaden Macha scored four points and Jesse Zimmerman and Shane Walden scored two each.

The Mustangs host Anderson County. Tip-off is scheduled for about 7:30 p.m.

H Fillies Continued from B1

Instead, Sparks retrieved the ball and went up for an easy score, putting Wellsville on top 30-27 with under a minute left.

Mikaela Platt drained two free throws to cut the deficit to 30-29.

Wellsville went into fullstall mode, draining all but 4 seconds off the clock before Iola committed a foul, much to Carlson’s chagrin.

“We told them to foul, but I’m not sure if they just got caught up in the game,” Carlson said.

Erica McTaggart hit 1 of 2 free throws, and Long stepped out of bounds before attempting a threequarters court heave at the buzzer.

After a slow start — Wellsville led 4-2 after one quarter — the Lady Eagles took control in the second quarter, taking advantage of their full-court press during a 14-5 run to lead 18-7 at halftime.

Iola began its comeback in short order to start the second half. Endicott and Lohman scored to start the half.

Long’s three-pointer with 1:53 left in the third began the Fillies’ 12-point outburst. Emma Sigg scored in the final minute of the third period, then Platt scored seconds into the fourth quarter to close the gap to 24-20. Endicott scored again on Iola’s next possession, and a Wellsville turnover set up Piazza’s 3-pointer.

“I’m not disappointed in our effort in the second half, but I was in the first half,” Carlson said.

Platt led Iola with eight points, followed by Endicott with six and Piazza with six each.

“I was really pleased with how aggressive Mikaela was tonight,” Carlson said.

Register/Richard Luken

Iola High’s Emma Piazza, right, looks for an opening while being defended by Wellsville High’s Erica McTaggart Tuesday in the Fillies’ 31-29 loss.

“She stepped up and did a good job. I thought Lexie Long did a good job, as did Emma Sigg.”

Piazza, Driskel, Endicott and Lohman shared rebounding honors with four apiece.

Driskel had three steals, followed by Long, Endicott and Lohman with two each. Long also had two assists.

McTaggart scored 10 of her game-high 11 points for Wellsville in the first half.

Bonze scored seven.

Iola prevailed, 28-13, in the junior varsity contest.

Ashlie Shields scored 10 points to lead the Fillies JV. Endicott scored four, while Shelby Reno and Piazza added three points each.

Lohman, Platt, Driskel and Taelyn Sutterby each had two points.

Wellsville won the C team contest 13-4 in two quarters.

Shields and McKayli Cleaver had two points each for the Fillies.

Rodriguez tied to PED scandal NEW YORK (AP) — Alex Rodriguez is in the middle of Major League Baseball’s latest doping investigation after an alternative weekly newspaper reported baseball’s highest-paid star was among the big leaguers listed in the records of a Florida clinic the paper said sold perfor mance-enhancing drugs.

The Miami New Times said Tuesday that the threetime AL MVP bought human growth hormone and other performance-enhancing substances during 2009-12 from Biogenesis of America LLC, a now-closed anti-aging clinic in Coral Cables, Fla., near Rodriguez’s offseason home.

The new public relations firm for the New York Yankees third baseman issued a statement denying the allegations.

New Times said it obtained records detailing purchases by Rodriguez, 2012 All-Star game MVP Melky Cabrera, 2005 AL Cy Young Award winner Bartolo Colon and 2011 AL championship series MVP Nelson Cruz of Texas.

Cabrera left San Francisco after the season to sign

with Toronto, while Oakland re-signed Colon.

Other baseball players the newspaper said appeared in the records include Washington pitcher Gio Gonzalez, who finished third in last year’s NL Cy Young Award voting, and San Diego catcher Yasmani Grandal.

Biogenesis, which the New Times said was run by Anthony Bosch, was located in a beige, nondescript office park. The former clinic is no longer listed as a business in its directory, “There was a flier put out by the building management a couple weeks ago.

It was put on all the doors and windows of all the offices,” said Brad Nickel, who works in a cruise planning company on the floor above where the clinic was located. “It just said this guy’s not really a doctor, he doesn’t belong here, he’s no longer allowed here, call the police or the building management if you see him.”

The New Times posted copies of what it said were Bosch’s handwritten records, obtained through a former Biogenesis employ-

ee it did not identify.

Bosch’s lawyer, Susy Ribero-Ayala, said in a statement the New Times report “is filled with inaccuracies, innuendo and misstatements of fact.”

“Mr. Bosch vehemently denies the assertions that MLB players such as Alex Rodriguez and Gio Gonzalez were treated by or associated with him,” she said.

Rodriguez appears 16 times in the documents New Times received, the paper said, either as “Alex Rodriguez,” ‘’Alex Rod” or the nickname “Cacique,” a pre-Columbian Caribbean chief.

Rodriguez admitted four years ago that he used PEDs from 2001-03. Cabrera, Colon and Grandal were suspended for 50 games each last year by MLB following tests for elevated testosterone. Responding to the testosterone use, MLB and the players’ union said Jan. 10 they were authorizing the World Anti-Doping Agency laboratory outside Montreal to store each major leaguer’s baseline testosterone/epitestosterone (T/E) ratio in order to detect abnormalities.

Playboy subscription gives girlfriend bad vibes Dear Carolyn: I do not know why I am so perturbed by my boyfriend’s subscription to Playboy magazine — bought before he met me. We are not young, we’re in our late 50s. He has volunteered to throw away issues that will still be coming. I am happy about that. If he no longer wants the magazine because he has me, then we are in a good place.

But I have a few reservations about what the man’s

mind-set is, and I do not know how to analyze the situation. I will not badger him, or be controlling.

I just want to have confidence that he is not interested sexually in other women. Words of wisdom, please?

Anonymous Playboy. Almost quaint.

Every sexually interested soul on Earth is interested sexually in people besides their mates.

tween “wants the magazine” and “he has me” is more imagined than real.

It’s not as if people gawk only when they’re between sex partners; it’s a source of pleasure independent of sex. If he’s not compulsive and can do without the mags because you don’t like them, then that’s about as good an offer as he’s in a position to make.

That applies as a larger point, too: The only assurance available to you, or anyone, is that the person you love won’t act on outside sexual interests — and that’s not an assurance you can simply demand of someone or receive through a commitment or a canceled subscription. That assurance is available in one form only: by choosing someone who shares your belief in monogamy, and who has both integrity and impulse control.

Again — you can’t assume blinders go on just because you’re committed to each other.

Also know that, in this particular case, you and he differ on values in a way that can be minor or serious, depending on the intensity of each of your beliefs: He has no problem with sexy images and the buzz he gets from them, and you

do.

People on both sides of the issue can probably agree that you both have to make peace with the other’s beliefs for this relationship to work, because even if he shreds his girlie mags, he’ll still be a guy who doesn’t think they’re wrong to have around.

Dear Carolyn: Would you attend a wedding with no alcohol? Would it matter if the couple were in recovery, vs. trying to save money?

No Alcohol Of course I’d attend, and have. I go for the couple, not the menu or the rationale behind it.

Dear Carolyn: How late do you think is too late to send a contribution to the identified charity in honor of, say, a friend’s parent?

I’m good about sending sympathy cards and being supportive, but I have a knack for forgetting to make a contribution until so much time (sometimes years) has passed it seems worse to do it than to just let it go. Any thoughts?

By virtue of an Order of Sale issued to me out of the said District Court in the above-entitled action, I will on Wednesday, the 13th day of February, 2013 at 10:00 am of said date at the front door of the Courthouse in Allen County, Kansas, in the City of Iola, Kansas, offer at public sale and sell to the highest and best bidder for cash in hand, the following described real property, to-wit: The following described real estate in the County of Allen and the State of Kansas, to-wit: All of Lots Five (5) and Six (6) in Block One Hundred Twelve (112) of the Original Plat to the City of Humboldt, Allen County, Kansas, according to the original plat now recorded in the Deed Records of Allen County, Kansas. which is more accurately described as: All of Lots Five (5) and Six (6) in Block One Hundred Twelve (112) of the Original Plat to the City of Humboldt, Allen County, Kansas, according to the original plat now recorded in the Deed Records of Allen County, Kansas.

Commonly known and numbered as 603 S. 13th Street, Humboldt, KS 66748.
