THE CITY’S UNSUNG HEROES

By STEVEN SCHWARTZ The Iola Register

“Somebody’s got to do it,” Jimmy Boeken said, while standing on a curb that runs along East Douglas Street in Iola.

Normally a smile doesn’t follow a statement like that, but Boeken, along with David Harrison and Kendall West, were nothing but grins Friday morning.

The three make up the sanitation service for the City of Iola, picking up the trash from around the city and carting it out to the Allen County landfill. It’s a demanding, difficult, rewarding, smelly and oftenunderappreciated job.

But, like Boeken said, somebody must do it — and these men mean to make the best out of it.

“There are good days and there are bad days,” West said. The three took a break in their route to give The Register an inside glimpse of what it means to be a “trash guy” in Iola.

Friday seemed to be a good day.

Streets Superintendent Dan Leslie said Fridays are the lightest work days for the crew; they spend the morning doing their usual route, and then wash the trucks in the afternoon. The day was cool, not cold, with temperatures hovering in the 40s.

When the weather is right, they said, the job has its perks.

The three work from 5 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Monday through Friday, which gives them more time with their family or to work other jobs, or to simply relax.

Leslie said the men haul an aver-

ACC baseball greats honored

By BOB JOHNSON The Iola Register

A common denominator for five inductees to the Red Devil Diamond Club Hall of Fame Saturday night was fierce dedication anytime they stepped onto a baseball field.

Mike Befort, an Allen Community College pitcher from Hays who was a handful for batters during the 1979 and 1980 seasons, recalled a comment from Joe DiMaggio, the New York Yankee great, and how it related to his approach to the game.

“Someone asked Joe why he played so hard all the time,” Befort said during his acceptance speech. Each game, DiMaggio replied, he looked in the stands and didn’t want a little boy, or anyone else, to go away from the game “wondering why I didn’t play hard.”

He turned down a chance to sign with the New York Mets out of high school, opting instead to play for Allen County as a pitcher and first baseman.

Later he signed with the Philadelphia Phillies, who drafted him after two years as a Red Devil. He played minor league ball two seasons, before deciding his young family was more important than the vagabond life demanded by the sport.

Befort credited coach Val McLean for instructing him in more than just baseball.

part of my life; you gave me a lot of life lessons,” Befort said to McLean.

JOINING BEFORT were players Scott Vondemkamp, John Masterson and Jim Hess. Masterson, now president of ACC, was the second of three coaches for the Red Devils baseball program.

Unable to attend was a fourth player, Jeff Dinkel, who sent a letter.

When Masterson succeeded Joe Haynes, who started the program, he said he had a field, a backstop, a batter’s cage and equipment, “all I

needed,” and was ecstatic for having the opportunity to coach.

“But, I didn’t have any scholarships,” he mused.

He pulled in local players and convinced the likes of Rick Bloomquist, a basketball player, and Kenny Norris, a javelin thrower, to give a helping hand.

Norris didn’t lack in confidence, Masterson quipped.

Carswell gives a look into SEK libraries

By KAYLA BANZET The Iola Register

Iolans learned how the Southeast Kansas Library System functions at Friday’s See, Hear Iola. Roger Carswell, system director, was guest speaker.

The library system is made up of 15 counties in the Southeast Kansas area. It is stationed inside the Iola Public Library but is a separate entity. Carswell, who moved to Iola in 1992 from Pittsburg, said the library system has many services for its 104 libraries.

“We have a rotation service which rotates books to different libraries in the Southeast Kansas area,” Carswell said.

Ten boxes of books travel to libraries during the rotation.

If a library doesn’t have a book at its facility it can loan it from another library in the system. This comes in handy for smaller libraries. Carswell said they strive to keep the librarians educated on new See CARSWELL | Page A4

STATE NEWS

Davis gets national support TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — House Minority Leader Paul Davis will get fundraising help from a national Democratic group in his bid to unseat Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback.

Mark Giangreco, digital director of the Democratic Governors Association, said in a recent email to supporters that Kansas is one of three Re p u bl i c a n controlled states where the association believes its candidates Paul Davis can win. The others are Texas and Arkansas.

DGA spokesman Danny Kanner said that while Davis does not have the national name recognition of the presumptive Democratic candidates in Texas and Arkansas, the association believes donors will get behind him.

“DGA is committed to defeating Gov. Brownback and we believe Paul Davis is a strong candidate who will be able to do that,” Kanner told The Topeka Capital-Journal.

The Brownback campaign didn’t immediately respond to an email Friday seeking comment.

Kansas Legislature takes break TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas legislators are taking a long weekend off following a major deadline during their annual session.

The Legislature will be out of session today and Tuesday, leaving the Statehouse relatively quiet after a flurry of debates in the House and Senate the previous week.

Friday was the socalled “turnaround” deadline, when most bills

must clear their house of origin to be considered further during the year.

Legislative sessions are scheduled to last 90 days, though they can go longer. Friday was the 47th day, a count that has included weekends.

But with lawmakers officially out of session, the next day to count is Wednesday, the 48th day.

The next major deadline is March 26, when most bills must clear their second chamber.

Bill divides church leaders in Kansas TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A bill in the Kansas House would address the divisive issue of who owns a church building when a congregation splits from the larger community.

The bill would require that church property disputes be decided “in a completely secular manner,” using government records and other objective matters, without regarding church principles.

The Topeka CapitalJournal reports the bill was carried by Rep. Craig McPherson. The

Republican from Overland Park is a deacon at a Presbyterian church in Stanley.

Leaders of the Presbyterian synod to which McPherson’s church belongs oppose the bill, saying it would not consider the larger church’s contributions to individual congregations.

They also claim the bill would benefit McPherson’s church because it is discussing leaving the larger denomination. McPherson says there’s no serious consideration of his church leaving.

GARNETT — Criminal charges against a key shareholder shouldn’t fuel speculation about the future of the ethanol plant here, the company’s top officer told the Ottawa Herald.

Scott Brittenham, CEO of Clean Energy Capital LLC, and Clean Energy Capital LLC, an Arizona-based investment firm, have been charged by the Securities and Exchange Commission “for orchestrating a scheme to misallocate their expenses to the funds they manage,” according to a press release from the SEC. “The SEC Enforcement Division alleges

that Brittenham and Clean Energy Capital improperly paid more than $3 million of the firm’s expenses by using assets from 19 private energy funds that invest in private ethanol production plants,” the SEC release said.

Clean Energy Capital is one of East Kansas Agri-Energy’s largest shareholders, confirmed Jeff Oestmann, president and CEO of EKAE. Oestman told the Herald he did not anticipate the SEC charges against Brittenham and Clean Energy Capital would have any impact on the Garnett plant.

Poster promts panel review TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas Senate committee has approved a bill that would make it easier to prosecute teachers, librarians or school principals for introducing students to offensive materials, in response to an incident in January in which a poster used in sex education classes was put on a classroom door at a Shawnee Mission middle school.

Supporters of Senate Bill 401 say the current law, which protects materials that are part of “an approved course

pervision of a public establishment culpable for even accidental exposure to material deemed offensive.

The proposed legislation is “a solution in search of a non-existent problem, said Randy Mousley, president of United Teachers of Wichita.

“It’s just an overreach where some particular group is trying to impose their values on everybody else in society,” he said. “There’s not that many instances (of teaching materials being challenged),

meeting Tuesday would make that change, The Wichita Eagle reported.

“I think that using the identity of General Eisenhower provides us recognizable branding, more so than the former name,” Vice Mayor Pete Meitzner said. “I don’t think there’s a sense of identity with the current name. It’s not a big deal all around, but I think it has the potential for a nice brand for the city.”

Eisenhower, who was from Abilene, served as supreme commander of Allied Forces in Europe during World War II before being elected president and serving from 1953 to 1961.

Sat or program of instruction,” lets schools ignore community standards for what might be considered offensive, The Wichita Eagle reported.

“Because of the way the law is written, although everyone else has to follow community standards, schools do not,” said Shawnee Republican Sen. Mary Pilcher-Cook, who introduced the measure.

“Right now if a teacher were to give pornography (to a student) it is not likely at all that a prosecutor would take the case because there is such a high hurdle protecting our schools.”

Opponents of the bill, including education groups and the American Civil Liberties Union, said the measure amounts to censorship that would make teachers, libraries or anyone with su-

Senate President Susan Wagle, a Wichita Republican, said she thinks the bill will return to the Judiciary Committee for some more work, and it’s not clear whether the measure will ever get to a full hearing on the Senate floor.

The poster that prompted Pilcher-Cook to create the bill was titled “How Do People Express Their Sexual Feelings?” and featured a list of 17 behaviors or sex acts — including holding hands, kissing and oral and anal sex.

It was removed after a parent complained, and Shawnee Mission district officers later announced the curriculum had been suspended pending a review of the material.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Putin puts world on the brink of another Cold War over Crimea For more than three months we’ve watched in helpless horror as the events in Ukraine have unraveled. On the heels of joining a Western alliance last fall, the Eastern European country was invaded

by Russian troops Saturday in its Crimean peninsula.

In less than two weeks the country’s president has fled in shame — both for ordering direct fire on protestors and for looting public coffers — ­ to be replaced by an interim team challenged to maintain peace until elections in May. Today, Western nations are on the brink of another Cold War as Russia digs in its heels to usurp control of the eastern portion of Ukraine despite objections from members of the United Nations, the European Union, and the United States.

Russia, of course, is wellequipped to run rampantly over the objections of Ukrainians ­— and the outside world — who just a few months ago had high hopes of putting their economic future in line with the European Union.

Today, the threat of civil war is perched to tear the Ukraine asunder, or at the very least face the loss of Crimea to Russia.

For some Crimeans that’s the preferable path.

The majority is of Russian descent and continues to speak their mother tongue.

When Ukraine’s President Viktor Yanukovych escaped to Russia in late February, Crimean leaders asked Russian president Vladimir Putin for protection for fear “ultranationalists” would invade.

Only too happy to oblige, Putin deployed troops. Russian flags now fly in former Crimean government buildings.

Ukrainians in the western part of the country view the move as a military incursion.

A BEST-CASE scenario may be a split off of Crimea from the Ukraine, if indeed, that’s the people’s will.

Foreign policy experts worry Putin will go for a power grab of the whole eastern half of the country — a certain recipe for retaliation.

World leaders are holding their breaths for fear of that first shot volleyed.

Let us pray for saner heads to prevail and for all to step back in realization of the consequences if war were to break out in Eastern Europe. ­— Susan Lynn

Bitcoin’s vanishing act The digital currency known as bitcoin looked like it could be the next big thing in finance. Today, it looks like the next big, really bad thing.

Think of bitcoin as a new type of money that can be used like any money to buy and sell products, services or other currencies. It is created and transferred online, through its own virtual network. There is no bank. No Federal Reserve. No government backing it. No regulator empowered to set and enforce the rules of how it changes hands.

Bitcoin has value because participants treat it the same way they do those green pieces of paper with dead presidents on the front. Thousands of merchants accept bitcoin.

In January, Overstock.com became one of the biggest companies to take virtual currency in exchange for real-world stuff. Since bitcoin debuted five years ago, some bright, serious people have backed it.

Speculators around the world drove up its value in relation to dollars, euros and yen. Advocates touted it as the money of the future.

In recent days, the value of bitcoin has plunged. It may be on its way to zero.

On Friday, the largest exchange set up to deal in bitcoin, Tokyo-based Mt. Gox, filed for bankruptcy protection. Four days earlier, Mt. Gox had pulled the plug on its website, reportedly after moving its corporate headquarters to a nonexistent address.

The company says hackers swiped all the bitcoin. A large chunk of customer funds apparently just went poof. Those losses reportedly amount to hundreds of millions of dollars in real, old-school money.

Downsized military good fit for U.S. The $496 billion military budget presented Monday by Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel is a reasonable first step toward rearranging America’s priorities after the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.

Not surprisingly, the spending plan, which is $75 billion less than the previous budget, has already provoked screeching from members of Congress who are inclined to see defense spending as pork and who are objecting to the financial impact on their districts.

Some also smell another opportunity to attack President Barack Obama, this time by charging him with weakening America’s defenses.

That last argument is lame since the nation’s military power will be maintained through sufficient forces around the globe, advanced weapons systems and technological dominance. Plus, any dollars diverted to domestic

needs will strengthen America at home by improving education and health care and rebuilding infrastructure. That, too, helps the country defend itself.

Inherent in the budget’s policy is a call for replacing old and obsolete weapons with new systems and forces appropriate to the future.

The size of U.S. Army personnel, for instance, would be cut from 522,000 to 450,000.

The A-10 Warthog aircraft, a weapon that dates from the 1970s, would be eliminated, saving $3.5 billion. The U-2 surveillance aircraft would be replaced by Global Hawk drones. Unnecessary bases and commissaries would close. Pentagon planning would assume an America able to fight one large overseas war while maintaining its capacity to defend the homeland.

New emphasis would be

placed on improving the ability to wage cyber-war, both offensively and defensively. U.S. capacities in this regard must stay ahead of any enemy’s, although care will need to be taken not to provoke attacks on the United States because of its cyber activities.

Although the price tag on the package will be hotly debated, Mr. Hagel’s reduced budget proposal is in the ballpark with cuts required by the 2011 Budget Control Act. Even so, it is hard to predict whether the Obama administration plan will face more cuts or new additions by the time it emerges from Congress.

In any case, the downward direction of military size and spending, reflecting a normal postwar reduction of forces and equipment, is the correct course for the United States.

— The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Since bitcoin debuted five years ago, some bright, serious people have backed it. Advocates touted it as the money of the future. In recent days, the value of bitcoin has plunged. It may be on its way to zero.

Red flags have been flying for some time. Mt. Gox had had operating problems for months. In recent days it stopped allowing customers to withdraw their funds.

A smaller bitcoin trading platform based in China had vanished earlier, while other bitcoin-related companies had lost customer funds in alleged security breaches.

Since its inception, bitcoin has been associated with crime. In January, federal authorities arrested the CEO of a bitcoin exchange in New York on charges of laundering drug money. By enabling anonymous currency transactions outside the usual bounds of government oversight, bitcoin is a criminal’s dream.

Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara and the FBI reportedly are investigating possible criminal violations at Mt. Gox and other bitcoin operations.

In a letter this week to Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, Fed Chair Janet Yellen and other regulators, U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin pushed for a ban on bitcoin: “This virtual currency is currently unregulated and has allowed users to participate in illicit activity, while also being highly unstable and disruptive to our economy,” the West Virginia Democrat wrote.

We’re not ready to give up on bitcoin yet. Money has evolved from shell beads and metal coins to virtual, digital

funds that move around the world every moment. Bitcoin could indeed be pointing the way to the future.

Yet the Mt. Gox episode is more than just a setback. It is a disaster for a nascent industry that exists only because participants put faith in the value of its product.

If bitcoin ever is to take a place among legitimate financial industries, it will need a trustworthy, empowered regulator — not just the FBI swooping in to investigate after something has gone terribly wrong. That will spoil some of its lure, but it is the only way bitcoin will retain trust.

The model should be drawn from the alphabet soup of agencies familiar to anyone operating in U.S. financial markets: SEC, CFTC, FINRA and NFA, among others.

We know their failings: Bernie Madoff, MF Global and the real estate bust spring to mind. But it’s not as if any other country has a far superior model to follow. By and large, the U.S. agencies do a credible job of keeping American financial markets honest.

They generally aim to make dealings transparent and to safeguard customer funds.

The lesson of bitcoin is that it’s better to have a watchdog who occasionally barks at shadows instead of the thieves than to have no watchdog at all.

Trash: Crews take pride Continued from A1

age of eight tons of trash per day. For holidays and weekend pickups, their loads can get as much as 12 or 13 tons in a day’s work. They have a second trash truck they bring in for days like those.

“I think I have the record on the old truck,” Boeken said. He is the driver, with a commercial driver’s license. He said he hauled 13 tons in one truck.

The crew makes around 500 stops a day, and all of the work is done by hand. The city of Iola does not have any automated trash pickup like many other cities.

“I think they’re some of the hardest working guys day-in and dayout,” Leslie said, not to mention their attitude.

“Those guys have the best attitude.”

It’s an important attribute, he said. It goes without saying that their job doesn’t always have them coming home smelling like roses.

THE THREE men gave each other a pensive look when asked about what they actually see when they bring in a day’s load of trash.

“I don’t think you can write those in the paper,” Harrison said, when asked about some of his strangest finds.

“You can definitely tell when people start fishing,” Boeken said with a laugh. They said they have found deer carcasses, mounds of dead fish, and worse.

West said just the other week he picked

up what he thought was just a piece of garbage, unfortunately it was a cat that had “expired.”

“There was definitely a dead cat in there,” he said, concluding his morbid tale.

It’s all in a day’s work.

“When I’m told my gloves aren’t allowed in the truck, I get new ones,” West said. He has worked for the department for only around five months. Harrison has been there two years, and Boeken is the senior member of the crew at four years on the job.

When Harrison’s work day is over, he likes to go home and see the family — he is a foster parent, which takes up a good chunk of his time. West is currently looking for a part-time job, and Boeken takes the time to relax.

Like Leslie said, the men are “out in it” despite the weather or conditions.

Harrison said they try their best not to take breaks during the cold days, because it’s tough to get out of the truck cab after you get used to its warmth. The City of Iola provides them with adequate cold-weather gear and equipment.

“WHEN I first started, I thought it was just going to be picking up trash cans,” West said.

“It sounds simple...,” Harrison said.

Most people do a good job of following city regulations, but not all of them. With 500 stops a day, the crew needs all of the cooperation they can get.

“I swear, people decide to set out cardboard right when it rains,” Harrison said.

“I don’t know why.”

They said the best advice they can give people is to secure their trash as well as possible. A quick grab and go is much easier than having to handle a torn bag or track down trash flying around a yard.

Also, trash receptacles must be on the curb; the crew will not go onto yards to pickup trash, unless they are assisting elderly customers upon request.

Oftentimes during a rain storm, people put their trash underneath an awning, where the water can drain into the bags and cans — that doesn’t help either.

Overall, however, the crewman said people are pretty good about following the rules, and it’s not always a thankless job.

“People will come out and say thank you,” Boeken said.

“All of the kids love the trash truck,” Harrison added. “They always come out waving.”

It’s obvious that working a rigorous, unseen job, requires taking notice of the little things — whether it’s a wave or a simple “thank you.”

It takes some of the smell out of their job, it seems, and Leslie said they may not know it, but the city appreciates what they do on a daily basis.

“People set their clocks by these guys,” he said.

ACC: Kings of the diamond Continued from A1

up a double play, he said.

It didn’t work out that way and when Norris pranced off the field after scoring, he told Masterson, “I think they’d have walked me with the bases loaded.”

That first year Masterson’s club was 20-12.

The next year, 12 scholarships had been approved for the program.

Among his first recruits were Rich Wiesensee and Sam Sibala from Kansas City. They were Hall of Fame inductees in 2013.

Those early years were the basis of what became, and still is, one of the premier community college baseball programs in Kansas.

Masterson’s record was 64-37 for three years, but even though he was away from the college eight years in banking, the Red Devil baseball team never was far from his mind. He returned as athletic director.

“I still love to watch my Red Devils compete,” Masterson said.

And, in regard to those who played under his guidance, “They’ll always be my boys,” he concluded.

HESS WAS a power pitcher, whose fastball was so devastating that Neil Crane, then the Devil’s basketball coach, referred to it as a car-wash pitch — “He could throw it through a car wash and the ball wouldn’t get wet.”

“Val (McLean) was a good coach, and also a friend and a mentor,” Hess said.

He recalled the ACC field being soaked one day by heavy rain, just hours before an important dou-

bleheader. At someone’s suggestion truck tires were placed strategically on the skinned portion of the infield, doused with kerosene and set afire.

They dried the field, but had some unintended consequences.

“We didn’t realize they were steel-belted and when you slid into a base, you were liable to get wire in your pants,” an observation that brought a round of laughter. “And, the field was black the rest of the season.”

Turning serious, Hess said, “None us would be up here today as players without Val. It’s always good to be around the right people and I was at Allen County.”

Dinkel’s commentary noted he was one of nine boys in his family from Victoria, a small town near Hays, “where they rolled up the street at 5 o’clock each afternoon.”

Dinkel played one year at ACC as a catcher and third baseman.

Vondemkamp, an outfielder from Tecumseh, had a sweet swing that earned him a place in three college world series. The first series he played with the Red Devils, when they finished third in the nation, and the other two with the University of Texas.

“Baseball paid for my education,” Vondem-

kamp said.

He recalled playing summer semi-pro ball in Alaska and getting to compete with Randy Johnson and Will Clark, who both went on to be major league all-stars.

He came away from baseball learning many life lessons, Vondemkamp said.

“I learned to trust my teammates, that they would be there for me in any situation. But my greatest gift from baseball was friendships,” he said.

THE RED DEVIL Diamond Club was founded in 2011 by baseball alums, including Jon Shockley, who noted the group means to keep alive the camaraderie that players developed over the years at ACC. “We want to perpetuate the tradition of Red Devil baseball,” he said.

“We all want to share the passion we have for baseball.

“It’s important to be a good leader, but before you can be a good leader you have to be a good follower,” Shockley said.

“You have to respect your coaches, your teammates and the game of baseball.

“The game gives you so much,” he said to the current crop of Red Devil players. “Don’t let your ego be an obstacle.”

Iolan takes third at state meet

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

SALINA — In his six years of competitive wrestling, Bryce Misenhelter had never been in an experience quite like Saturday’s.

The Iola High senior was locked in a scoreless duel with Spring Hill’s Dylan Thompson.

The match appeared destined for overtime as Misenhelter — who opened the third and final period with the top position — struggled to find a way to put Thompson on his back, while preventing an escape.

The seconds slipped away with Misenhelter on top, struggling to score a point.

Wichita State caps regular season in perfect fashion WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — The chant started when Ron Baker walked toward the Wichita State bench for the final time, and reached a crescendo when he popped the front of his jersey — No. 31.

As in, 31-0. A perfect regular season.

“Undefeated!” the sellout crowd roared in unison. “Undefeated!”

Baker finished with 13 points, Cleanthony Early led the way with 19 and the second-ranked Shockers rolled to a 68-45 victory over Missouri State on Saturday, becoming the first team since Saint Joseph’s in 2004 to enter

its conference tournament unbeaten.

Wichita State (18-0) will have a first-round bye in the Missouri Valley tournament next week.

“My teammates told me a couple weeks ago that my number was something special, because that’s how many games we could potentially win,” Baker said. “I didn’t put that together myself, but it’s very special. It’s going to be something I look back on forever.”

Missouri State (19-11, 9-9) had the Shockers in trouble when they met Jan. 11 in Springfield, Mo., but the Bears

blew a 19-point second-half lead and ultimately lost 72-69 in overtime.

They never came close to making it a game Saturday, trailing by double-digits in the opening minutes and rarely trimming the lead to fewer than 20 points in the second half.

The result is the best start since UNLV began 34-0 and lost in the 1991 national title game. Wichita State is also off to the best start by a Missouri Valley team since Indiana State, led by Larry Bird, won its first 33 games and fell to Michigan State in the 1979 title game.

Wrestler with local ties takes fourth at state COLUMBIA, Mo. — Caleb McIntosh, grandson of Iolans Gary and Barbara McIntosh, took home fourth place Feb. 22 at the Missouri State High School Wrestling Championships.

McIntosh, a junior at Rockwood Summit High, went 3-2 in the tournament to finish the year with a 42-11 record.

Caleb also broke his older brother’s school record for number of pins in a season with 29, reported his father,

former Iolan Matt McIntosh.

Caleb’s achievement is the latest feather the brothers have left in Missouri High school athletics.

Oldest brother, Boone, was a two-time district wrestling champion and state qualifier at Rockwood Summit. Ian qualified for state all four years in high school. He won the state championship last year at 160 pounds, and held Rockwood’s pins record until Caleb broke the mark this year.

Caleb’s state appearance was the seventh for the McIntosh brothers.

His medal also continues a curious trend in which the McIntoshes have earned state medals only in years in which they did not win a district championship.

“If we win a district championship, we do not earn a state medal,” Matt McIntosh joked. “We’re OK if we don’t win districts. We call it the McIntosh Family Curse.”

Red Devils ousted in Region VI playoffs HUTCHINSON — A blistering start had the Allen Community College men thinking upset Saturday, as they raced to a 21-9 lead over host Hutchinson Community College to open the Region VI playoffs.

Alas, the Blue Dragons — particularly, standout sophomore Kadeem Allen — had other plans.

Allen’s triple double spearheaded Hutchinson’s comeback as the Blue Dragons hit 16 of their first 18 shots in the second half of a 93-83 victory.

The loss ends the Red Devils’ season with a 16-15 record. Hutchinson (24-7) will take on Butler in the Region VI quarterfinals Thursday at Koch Arena in Wichita.

The loss spoiled Courtney Stockard’s memorable performance, with 38 points and five rebounds. He shot 14 of 23 from the field and 5 of 11 from 3-point range.

Problem was, Cody Sluder was the only other Red Devil in double figures with 13 points.

“We did a good job of keeping Hutchinson out of the paint in the first half,” Shaw said. “But the second half was a different story.”

Behind Allen’s 18 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, Hutchinson scored 58 points in the second half, quickly pulling away after the Red Devils took a 37-35 lead into intermission.

Hutchinson shot a blistering 57 percent for the game and out-rebounded ACC, 41 to 33.

Josh Sweet’s 3-pointer midway through the first half put ACC on top, 21-9, before Hutchinson responded with a 13-2 run to cut the Red See OUSTED | Page B4

A rough ending for Allen women as Hutchinson rolls HUTCHINSON — Allen Community College’s women found themselves on the wrong side of history Saturday.

The visiting Red Devils saw little go right in either half of a 105-33 openinground loss to third-ranked Hutchinson in the Region VI playoffs.

Ravaged by injuries and roster losses this season, ACC ends the year with a 7-23 record.

Hutch shot 65 percent from the field, out-rebounded Allen 42 to 23, forced 30 Red Devils turnovers and limited ACC to a cold 23 percent shooting.

The Blue Dragons took control early with an 18-1 run to lead 19-5. Hutchinson later held 15-0 and 12-1 runs to lead 54-14 by halftime.

The second half didn’t get any better. Hutch shot nearly 70 percent from the field after halftime, while ACC hit at a 20-percent clip.

Rebecca Fisher drained three 3-pointers to lead Allen with 13 points, while Kylie Molisee pulled down

seven rebounds. O’ceonna Weston and Molisee, the team’s two leading scorers, combined to score just four points. Weston had two steals. Starting point guard Nicole Salazar scored seven.

Five Blue Dragon players scored in double figures, led by Jamie Patrick’s 17.

Kalani Purcell followed with 15, Shakira Harding and Jen’Von’Ta Hill had 13 apiece and Briana Starks had 10.

Hutchinson advances to play Independence in Region VI quarterfinals action at 7 p.m. Wednesday in Wichita’s Koch Arena.

Semifinals and finals are Friday and Saturday in Wichita.

Olpe tops SCC teams; substate is next LE ROY — Southern Coffey County High’s boys and girls teams ended the 2013-14 regular season on a sour note, dropping both games of a doubleheader against visiting Olpe.

The SCC boys fell behind in the second quarter and could not make up the deficit in a 55-40 loss.

The Lady Titans trailed 19-9 after one quarter and 34-13 at halftime of a 61-24 defeat.

The contests had no bearing on Southern Coffey County’s seedings in the upcoming Class 1 A-I Substate Tournament.

The boys (14-6) will play St. Paul at 6 p.m.

Thursday at Waverly, host of the tournament.

The Lady Titans (614) will take on Marmaton Valley tonight at 6 o’clock, also in Waverly.

The winner gets top seed Marais des Cygnes Valley at 7:30 p.m. Friday.

Olpe’s boys outscored SCC 17-9 in the second period to lead 24-16 after the teams were deadlocked, 7-7, after one. The lead grew to 43-29 by the end of the third quarter.

Aaron True led the way for SCC with 18 points. Josiah Witteman followed with eight.

Chism Newkirk and Walker Harred scored four apiece.

Bo Kruger scored 16, Chance Stout had 13 and Joe Redeker 10 to pace Olpe.

OLPE’S GIRLS led 3413 at halftime before outscoring the Lady Titans 20-2 in the third period.

Maycee Hegwald’s nine points paced SCC. Brianna Isch followed with five, Amanda Sherwood had four and Chenae Newkirk, Brittne Brite and Miranda Alumbaugh had two apiece.

Kesley Hendricks scored 21 and Elana Flott had 18 for Olpe. Colleen Smith added 13.

Readers dish out advice on problems While I’m away, readers give the advice.

On confessing (or not) an attraction outside the marriage: Early in my marriage, I was attracted to someone not my husband. I grappled with whether to ’fess up to him and ultimately came to the conclusion that it was vital to our marriage if I could unload my burden on my best friend, to help uncork the guilt and distress that I was keeping inside (and that was affecting my marriage). I knew that if I didn’t share this “armchair affair,” then the attraction would likely become that much more powerful, since secrets and fantasies are inherently powerful.

So I told my best friend, my husband, and he handled it beautifully.

He neither took it too personally nor panicked,

Tell Me About It Carolyn Hax but proved a worthy sounding board. He took it as a good sign that I wanted to unload, and by the end of our discussion, I was already feeling lighter, more free and, um, more than a bit sheepish. It was humiliating to admit my deepest, darkest feelings, and his steadfast understanding was exactly what I needed to see the fantasy for what it was — a cry for more intimacy in our marriage.

Incidentally, it helped that we had made a pact before we got married that we would seek out marriage counseling if either of us ever felt the

need. In retrospect, that was so wise. It’s as if our honeymoon-stage selves made a plan to carry our future post-honeymoon selves through the thickets of marriage.

The whole incident ultimately fortified our marital trust, rather than destroyed it.

On resenting siblings who received better treatment from your parents: My siblings are 18-21 years younger than I am, and for most of my childhood, my mom was pretty neglectful of me. My siblings are all teenagers now. They don’t have to work and buy their own clothes, they get to play instruments and be in sports, their parents go to all their games, they live in a nice house (as opposed to couch surfing with friends and relatives for half their childhood).

Any time someone

asks if I’m jealous, I say, “Of course not!”

And explain how I realized, when jealousy first started to creep in — following that train of logic — that for me not to be jealous would mean they were neglected as badly as I was. BAM. Jealousy gone.

I love them so much and could never wish that on anyone. I’m so grateful my mom grew up and got her [act] together. I’m so happy my stepfather learned, on me, how not to treat people (I’m strong, I can handle it) and learned how to be a good dad to them. I love the people they’re growing into and feel blessed that the story has a happy ending (so far, knock on wood).

I have a good relationship with my mom now, too, which is still weird and foreign sometimes, but nice.

ACC drops 2 KU wins title, loses game; KSU tops Iowa St. OVERLAND PARK — Allen Community College’s baseball team got in two games Friday before wintry weather forced postponement of a home doubleheader on Saturday.

The Red Devils dropped 6-5 and 17-7 decisions to Johnson County Community College to fall to 3-6 on the season. The defeats snap a brief two-game winning steak for ACC, which had won three of four.

Allen returns to action at 3 p.m. Tuesday for a home doubleheader against Brown Mackie.

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Marcus Smart scored 20 of his 21 points in the second half to help Oklahoma State defeat No. 5 Kansas 72-65 on Saturday night and give a major boost to the Cowboys’ once-fading NCAA tournament hopes.

Oklahoma State (19-10, 7-9 Big 12) overcame a 10-point deficit in the second half.

The Cowboys improved to 3-0 since Smart returned from a three-game suspension for shoving a Texas Tech fan.

Andrew Wiggins scored 15

points for Kansas (22-7, 13-3), which already had clinched the Big 12 title outright before tipoff because Texas and Iowa State lost earlier.

The student section was filled nearly an hour before the opening tip. The crowd included Oklahoma City Thunder players Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook and their coach, Scott Brooks.

Wiggins’ three-point play tied the game at 64 with just over 2 minutes to play.

Smart made a layup with 46.1 seconds left to push

Oklahoma State’s lead to four, then he broke the press and hit another layup with 23.8 seconds to go to put the game out of reach.

Despite the loss, Kansas claimed the Big 12 league title outright, thanks to losses

by Texas and Iowa State earlier Saturday.

IN MANHATTAN, Shane Southwell had 13 points and Kansas State overcame a huge game by Iowa State star Melvin Ejim to beat the 15thranked Cyclones 80-73 Satur-

day.

Thomas Gipson and D.J. Johnson added 12 points apiece for the Wildcats (209, 10-6 Big 12), who can still earn the No. 2 seed in the conference tournament.

Kansas State has won 15 straight at Bramlage Coliseum, its longest home winning streak since the 1981-82 season.

Ejim had 30 points and 16 rebounds, and DeAndre Kane added 24 points and eight rebounds to pace the Cyclones (22-6, 10-6).

Then the unexpected happened.

“He dipped his head,” Misenhelter said. “That was my chance.”

With Thompson on his side, Misenhelter twisted until his opponent was nearly on his back when the clock expired and the whistle sounded.

The crazy part?

The move was a first for Misenhelter in a competitive setting.

“I knew how to do it, but I’d only done it in practice,” he said.

Misenhelter then wondered if he had done it in time, as did his opponents.

Spring Hill’s coach and fans howled in protest as the referee credited Misenhelter with a two-point near fall — and consequently a 2-0 win in Saturday’s third-place match in the 195-pound division of the Class 4A State Wrestling Championships.

Devil lead to 23-22 in a span of two minutes.

The Red Devils rebuilt a six-point lead moments later and nursed a twopoint advantage at halftime.

But after shooting just 38 percent from the field in the first half, Hutchinson hit at a 75 percent clip after halftime.

The Blue Dragons scored the first eight points after halftime to take the lead for good.

The lead was 72-57 before ACC embarked on an 11-3 run to pull back to within single digits, 77-68, with just over four minutes left on Cody Sluder’s 3-pointer.

Hutchinson slammed the door with an 8-0 run.

Raheem Tyner followed with nine points and 11 rebounds. Tray Fountain had three assists. Sluder wound up with three steals.

Three Blue Dragon players, Allen, Darrick Wood and DeShawn Freeman each had 18 points. Nathan Jackson followed with 15 and Darius Freeman had 11.

contention one day earlier by eventual runnerup Skyler Hittle of Concordia.

He won four straight consolation matches without allowing a point.

He shut out Columbus’ Bradley VanHoose, 7-0, Luke Carey of Tonganoxie, 5-0, and Wellington’s Taylon Lamkin, 2-0, to set up the third-place showdown with Thompson.

It was a fitting way for Misenhelter to end his high school wrestling career, Mustang head coach Brad Carson agreed.

“Here’s somebody who showed up every day in the offseason for weights and conditioning,” Carson said.

“That’s what made these achievements possible.”

“This was a good way to go out,” Misenhelter said, particularly after he vowed to return to state after qualifying, but not winning a match in Salina, to end his junior season.

He seamlessly moved up a weight class at midseason this year, from 182 pounds to 195.

consolation semifinal against Lamkin, Bryce couldn’t get any points through the first two periods.

But neither could his opponent. Misenhelter withstood a series of escape attempts by Lamkin in the second period, a key moment in the match.

MISENHELTER was joined in the limelight over the weekend by classmate John Whitworth.

Whitworth capped his first and only full year of high school wrestling on a high point, having won a state wrestling match on Friday before being eliminated by Goodland’s John Peden Saturday morning.

Peden had entered the tournament unbeaten, but lost in the championship quarterfinals to face Whitworth in Saturday’s consolation match.

Whitworth got the early advantage, scoring two points for a takedown 30 seconds into the match.

Peden, however, earned a penalty point for Whitworth’s illegal hold, then evened the match, 2-2, with an escape seconds before the first-period clock expired.

Peden chose the top position in the second period, and took full advantage, forcing Whitworth onto his back after 40 seconds of maneuvering.

With 80 seconds left in the period — an eternity for a wrestler facing a near pin — Whitworth lurched and writhed viciously with the hopes of preventing such a fate.

Alas, it was to no avail.

Whitworth tired, and Peden got the pin with 34 seconds remaining.

“I was proud of John,” Carson said. “He fought

quickly pulled himself around to the side, getting a 2-point reversal, and the only points he needed.

Lamkin’s last-ditch attempt at a reversal or escape occurred moments after the final whistle sounded.

MISENHELTER easily dispatched VanHoose in his first consolation match, before a gratifying quarterfinal win over Carey — the same wrestler who eliminated Misenhelter from the 2013 state tournament when both were at 182 pounds.

That match was scoreless through the first two periods, until Misenhelter — who started the third round on bottom — finally wriggled free and grabbed Carey from behind to get a two-point reversal with 41 seconds left. He held that advantage, earning a 3-point

CARSON hopes the effort shown by Misenhelter and Whitworth serves as an inspiration for Iola’s younger wrestlers.

One year after Iola’s Steven McDonald earned the school’s highest-ever final ranking, a second-place finish in 2013, Misenhelter gave the IHS program medalists in two consecutive years.

“It’s no coincidence those two kids were so successful,” Carson said.

“They put their heart and soul into their work, and it paid off for both of them.”

like heck to get out of that last hold. He had a great season, making it to state and winning a match out here. He accomplished a lot and helped us as a team. He just had a tough draw.”

“I knew the match might be my last, so I went as hard as I could,” Whitworth said. “That way I would be satisfied, win or lose.”

Whitworth reflected on his progression as a wrestler.

“At the start of the season, I just relied on my athleticism,” said Whitworth, who will play football next season at Hutchinson Community College. “Then I learned more about technique and different moves.

Just going through practice this season will help me as an athlete.”

“This match showed just how close John was to some of the better wrestlers around,” Carson said.
