Pregnant and in jail

Time for birth of Allen County inmate’s baby is drawing near

By BOB JOHNSON The Iola Register

At a time when most mothers-to-be are shopping for infant wear and putting the finishing touches on their new babies’ rooms, Katrina Beatty, pregnant and alone, is in jail.

Beatty, 37, was arrested Dec. 11 on drug charges and has been in the county jail since. Her baby, a boy she’ll name Cyrus Ryver, is due in six weeks.

“We’ve had pregnant women in jail before, but none about to go full term,” said Sheriff Bryan Murphy.

The local jail has accommodated women since it opened in 2004.

The older one did not.

Darlene Kitchens, a jail cook, is also trained as an emergency medical technician, if Beatty were to experience problems.

Also, paramedics and

EMTs are just four blocks away at Iola’s fire station.

No matter what occurs, the baby’s birth is an unanticipated expense for Murphy’s budget, with the possibility that costs may soar.

Beatty has a doctor’s appointment each week and lately sonograms have been added to her visits. The last showed the baby’s lungs were developing well, Beatty was proud to announce.

But, “there’s some fear of the pregnancy becoming high-risk,” Murphy said. “We asked for assistance from DCF (Department for Children and Families), but it was denied because Katrina’s in jail.”

He said Beatty’s lifestyle before her arrest was a concern for the pregnancy.

As the pregnancy has progressed, she has been encouraged to drink

more water to give the baby more room “to swim around,” as Beatty called it. “He was pretty cramped there for a while because I wasn’t drinking much water.” And other telltale signs of concern have surfaced at times.

“There have been discussions about letting Katrina out on an OR (own recognizance) bond to save taxpayers money” Murphy said.

School funding fight far from over

By JOHN MILBURN Associated Press

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Kansas Supreme Court has settled some immediate issues over public school funding, but it left for another day the biggest issue — how much more money, if any, legislators must spend on education.

Attorneys for the plaintiff school districts and parents, along with the state’s largest teachers union and Democrats, immediately seized on Friday’s ruling as a declaration that Kansas needs to boost education funding by as much as $1 billion or more.

“We’re getting close,” said Alan Rupe, one of the plaintiffs’ attorneys.

Republicans, including Gov. Sam Brownback and legislative leaders, disagreed and said nowhere in the opinion did the justices put a dollar amount by which legislators must boost funding, only to say that two issues of equity needed to be addressed.

Specifically, legislators must take action to help poor districts cover capital improvements and to supplement general operating expenses. Putting those districts back on par with their wealthier counterparts would cost $129 million a year, but Attorney General Derek Schmidt and legislative leaders said the decision left them with plenty of leeway to try other alternatives.

Survey: Uninsured rate drops WASHINGTON (AP) — With just three weeks left to sign up under President Barack Obama’s health care law, a major survey tracking the rollout finds that the uninsured rate keeps going down.

The Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, released today, found that 15.9 percent of U.S. adults are uninsured thus far in 2014, down from 17.1 percent for the last three months — or calendar quarter— of 2013.

That translates roughly to 3 million to 4 million people getting coverage.

Gallup said the share of Americans who lack coverage is on track to drop to the lowest quarterly level it measured since 2008, before Obama took office.

The survey found that almost every major demographic group made progress getting health insurance, although Hispanics lagged.

With the highest uninsured rate of any racial or ethnic group, Latinos were expected to be major beneficiaries of the new health care law. They are a relatively young population and many are on the low-

But the outreach effort to Hispanics got off to a stumbling start. The Spanish-language enrollment website, CuidadodeSalud.gov, was delayed due to technical problems.

Kansas seeking to move elections TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas Senate committee plans to review a proposal this week to change the dates of local elections so they occur on the same schedule as legislative and statewide contests.

The bill on the Senate Ethics and Elections Committee’s agenda Wednesday is a modified version of a proposal from the Kansas Republican Party. The GOP ar-

gues the bill would boost turnout.

Kansas holds city and school board elections in the spring of odd-numbered years, and turnout is typically low. The bill would move the elections to even-numbered years, with primaries in August and general elections in November.

Many local officials oppose the change, arguing their races would get lost on a longer ballot.

He was sentenced on Oct. 28, 2005, to the “Hard 50” prison term for killing Jones and the death penalty for killing Roberson, both of whom were fatally shot Dec. 13, 2003, at a home in Topeka.

“Kansas has become what Georgia was when Furman (v. Georgia) was handed down,” Wachtel said, referring to the 1972 U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning the death penalty based on a finding it was cruel and unusual punishment. Part of the decision focused on the arbitrary nature of

imposition of the death penalty, often indicating a racial bias against black defendants.

The state’s application of the death penalty is racist and at least one white woman was a victim in all Kansas death row cases, Wachtel said.

Nobody has been executed in the state since 1965.

Jacqie Spradling, chief deputy Shawnee County district attorney, said Cheatham can’t show the capital murder charge is unconstitutional because the district attorney doesn’t charge a defendant based on the race of either the victim or the defendant.

“We don’t pick our victims, we don’t pick our defendants,” Spradling said. “But we do prosecute defendants.

What keeps Kansas as a ‘fly-over’ state “Get what you can, and get out,” was the reader’s advice. “Kansas is becoming the symbol of what’s wrong with our society.”

The comment was one of hundreds that ran alongside a story about the Kansas Supreme Court’s ruling on school finance that appeared in Saturday’s New York Times.

“I received an OK high school education in a small Kansas town, an exciting education at KU, and have done well. I doubt I could do the same under the administration of these folks,” the contributor wrote.

Oh my, do we have a PR problem.

If for no other reason than repairing Kansas’ woeful image, the state Legislature should throw bucket loads of money at education.

Forget the state’s economic development efforts, its tourism department or any other incentives to lure outsiders our way. All are for naught as long as the Legislature is seen as an enemy to education.

This is what the outside world sees: • Kansas cut taxes on the back of education.

• Kansas legislators believe they are above the law when they threaten to ignore the Supreme Court’s ruling.

• Kansas is on track to creating a generation of “underperforming” kids.

KANSAS

legislators

have said goodbye to $3.9 billion over the next six years through the elimination of state personal income taxes. That’s 12.8 percent of our budget. Gov. Sam Brownback says the cuts are part of his “experiment” for an “American renaissance” right here in Kansas.

Legislators are taking umbrage at the high court’s insistence that it, not they, has the responsibility to interpret and enforce the state constitution’s mandate that children deserve equal access to education.

Up until now, Kansas has relied on this balance of power to prevent one branch of government from getting a swollen head. For years, Kansans have stood proud as the state that issued the definitive ruling against racial discrimination in schools with the 1954 ruling in “Brown vs. Board of Education.” Friday’s ruling on the state’s obligation to provide an adequate education for all children is every bit as important as that ruling of 60 years ago.

It takes adequate resources to educate children. Either we are going to do it, or not. If not, we are sending a message our children are not worth the investment because they are not critical to our future.

If a business, a church, a family, adopted that same philosophy — all would go bankrupt — morally and financially.

A look back in time

60 Years Ago Week of March 9, 1954

There’s a cavity in Iola’s northern skyline today. Yesterday workmen removed the spike-like spire that has been a landmark at the corner of Jackson and Jefferson streets for over half a century. It crowned the two-story building, which was built before the turn of the century and bought by Dr. George W. Cox in 1900. The original owner was L.L. Northrup. The design included a rounded protuberance on the second floor which overhung the entrance to the

ground floor. Sheldon Probst, present owner, discovered the weight of the overhang was causing the east wall to crack. ***** The rising price of coffee will catch up with Iola’s addicts on Monday, according to Lucky McKean. Most of the cafes will boost the price from a nickel a cup to a dime. Those signed up for the increase are Lucky’s Sandwich Shop, Lucky’s Town and Country, Menegay’s Grill, Hi-Way Cafe, Topp’s Diner, Hart’s Lunch, Trail Blazer Restaurant, Shamrock Inn and the Echo Cafe.

And now, for the rest of the story Last week Governor Sam Brownback was in Washington, D.C. boasting at a national political conference that when he took office the state was broke with just $876.05 in its bank account, but now through his leadership the state had $700 million in reserve.

Ed Flentje Insight Kansas

Given the governor’s propensity with budget numbers the late radio commentator Paul Harvey might advise: “And now, for the rest of the story.”

As a result of the Great Recession Kansas state finance was indeed in dire condition the year before Brownback took office. Individual income taxes, the mainstay of state spending, had fallen by $487 million, or 17 percent, in the two prior years. Sales and use taxes had fallen by another $112 million in the same period. And the state’s balance sheet was indeed at zero, on June 30, 2010, six months before Brownback assumed office.

But Brownback had nothing to do with fixing this problem. He was comfortably in the U.S. Senate preparing to run for governor.

Governor Mark Parkinson and a bipartisan coalition of

Brownback may attempt to rewrite the recent history of state finance for his own purposes, but Kansans will not find him crowing about state budget balances going forward.

state legislators did step forward in the 2010 legislative session and address the issue by passing a three-year, 1-cent sales tax, grabbing money from the highway fund, and plugging federal “stimulus” funds into school finance.

The 2010 action taken by these courageous state lawmakers avoided a financial crisis and handed Brownback $1,149 million in added sales and use tax revenues for his first three budgets. A turn in the Kansas economy that began in 2010, again not of Brownback’s doing, added another $500 million in individual income tax receipts to state coffers in the same period.

In sum, that heroic coalition of 2010 plus an economic upturn gave Brownback his $700 million in state balances plus another $1 billion he has applied to state spending.

After all that, Brownback surely fell on his knees and profusely thanked those lawmakers. To the contrary he turned on them. He joined with his stalwart ally, the Kansas Chamber of Commerce, and targeted them for defeat.

As a result 13 incumbent House members in the bipartisan coalition were defeated in November of 2010.

Then, in 2012, Brownback

took the unprecedented action of purging legislators of his own party. In alliance again with the Kansas Chamber and other special interest groups he campaigned against state senate leadership, and nine incumbent senators were defeated, all of whom were part of the 2010 coalition Brownback may attempt to rewrite the recent history of state finance for his own purposes, but Kansans will not find him crowing about state budget balances going forward. His proposed budget of ill-advised tax cuts and election-year spending obliterates the $709 million in state reserves on the books as of last July. He recommends spending in excess of revenues totaling $462 million this year and next, leaving a balance of less than $250 million at the end of next year, over $200 million below that required by state statutes.

And Brownback absolutely refuses to talk about state balances after next year. There will be no balances. State finance will be underwater in a sea of red ink. Brownback’s radical tax policy will leave the state broke.

In the words of Paul Harvey: “And now you know the rest of the story.”

Kansas must heed court’s call for fairer school funding The Kansas Supreme Court’s school finance ruling Friday cast a bright light on the Legislature’s willful failure to meet its funding obligations to poorer school districts and their students.

The state’s duty to promote equity in public education is well established. A previous court ruling ordered legislators to provide payments to districts with low tax bases to help lessen the gap between them and districts that can more easily raise money through property taxes.

But in 2010 the Legislature cut off equalization money meant to help poorer districts with capital needs. A year later, lawmakers even amended a statute to excuse themselves from providing money for that purpose through 2017.

They also reduced and prorated supplemental payments to help less wealthy districts meet day-to-day needs.

Those moves were unconstitutional, the court ruled, and resulted in “unreasonable, wealth-based disparities.”

Such disparities mean

wealthier districts can provide students with nicer buildings, better technology, more activities and better-paid teachers than poorer districts.

Students who may already enjoy learning advantages at home are offered significantly more opportunities at school than their peers in tax-poor districts.

The Legislature’s willingness to act so unjustly speaks to a warped system of priorities and values.

Budget cuts during the severe recession were understandable. But when revenues improved, lawmakers and Gov. Sam Brownback declined to restore essential elements of school funding and opted instead for tax cuts that mostly benefit higher-income Kansans.

The Supreme Court’s unanimous decision gives lawmakers until July 1 to correct the inequities they’ve created.

That can best be done by restoring the “equalization aid” at an annual cost of about $129 million.

But more ominous options

The power of the purse (with the Legislature) does not enable a violation of the constitution. .... Their deliberate policy of unjustly shortchanging students in poorer school districts must end now.

are possible, including limiting the amount of funding that wealthier districts can raise.

The biggest issue of the school finance lawsuit, Gannon vs. State of Kansas, went unanswered Friday. That is the claim by plaintiff school districts that the state is failing to provide sufficient dollars to ensure an “adequate” education for all Kansas schoolchildren, as required by the state constitution.

Supreme Court justices found that a special threejudge panel used an incorrect standard when it determined the state had indeed violated its constitutional obligation.

The panel must reconsider the question based on the legal metric preferred by the high

court.

An ultimate ruling in favor of the school districts could require the Legislature to appropriate hundreds of millions more for school funding annually.

Education financing has long been a contentious issue in Kansas, pitting conservative lawmakers against the courts.

Legislators accused judges of overstepping their authority in 2005 when the Supreme Court ordered more money for schools. But they ultimately agreed to increase allocations for three years until the state was spending an additional $755 million a year on elementary and secondary education.

That settlement fell apart in 2010.

With the filing of the Gannon lawsuit, GOP lawmakers and Brownback again challenged the court’s authority to intercede in a funding matter.

The Supreme Court provided its answer in Friday’s ruling. “The judiciary is the final authority to determine adherence to constitutional standards,” it states. “The people’s constitutional standards must always prevail over the Legislature’s statutory standards should the latter be lower.”

That is precisely correct.

The power of the purse does not enable a violation of the constitution.

It remains to be seen how the Legislature’s heavily conservative GOP majority will handle the Supreme Court’s latest ruling. A failure to equalize funding by July 1 would open the door to more court intervention.

Kansas lawmakers shouldn’t have to be forced to do the right thing. Their deliberate policy of unjustly shortchanging students in poorer school districts must end now.

Uninsured: Rates dropping

Continued from A1

A sure sign of spring Colony photographer Phyllis Luedke shot this photo of a robin Saturday morning while in Garnett. “The robins must be sensing warmer weather,” she said. “I hope they are right.” Spring is to officially dawn on March 20.

Schools: Not out of the woods Continued from A1 “The focus has changed,” said Senate President Susan Wagle, a Wichita Republican.

Legislators have until July 1 to act on the equity issue. Adequacy will take longer, perhaps as much as a year or 18 months by Rupe’s estimation.

The Supreme Court gave specific guidance to the same three-judge panel that heard the case in 2012 to use the standards set forth in the 1989 Rose v. Kentucky school finance case as the litmus test. Those standards include preparing students to communicate in a changing civilization, fostering understanding of their government, history and heritage, and teaching the skills necessary for entering the workforce or advancing to college.

Those standards have been considered by Kansas courts in previous litigation, and Rupe noted that he raised that at trial, saying that should be the bar by which funding is measured.

Kansas spends more than $3 billion on K-12

schools, not counting the state’s contributions to teacher pensions, local revenues and federal funds.

The court opined at length about the state constitution, voters and the separation of powers as it relates to education and spending. The justices made clear that no branch of government is above the constitution and the people it governs, citing cases dating to 1876, as well as references to the Federalist Papers and the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Marbury v. Maddison affirming the principle of judicial review.

“Simply put, the Kansas constitutional command envisions something more than funding public schools by legislative fiat,” the justices wrote Friday.

Kansas isn’t alone in cutting education spending in recent years, but a national advocate says the state may be among the worst offenders.

Diane Piche, senior counsel and director of education programs at The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human

Rights in Washington, said similar action had resulted in North Carolina and Pennsylvania as governors and conservatives pursue deep tax cuts.

“What happens when you cut taxes, you have less money to spend,” Piche said. “This is troubling because at the same time we’re entering an era where there is a consensus that our education system needs to be ramped up and not watered down.”

She said many states are adopting new standards and will not be met without additional resources. Kansas is one of them, having adopted the Common Core standards for math and reading, which put a focus on the needs of each student and preparing them to be college- or career-ready.

Brownback and Republicans say they will do what’s right for education, viewing it as a core function of government.

But they insist they — not the courts — control the purse strings, and that includes decisions to cut taxes to stimulate the economy.

which can make insurance details even more confusing.

All indications point to lackluster Latino numbers, prompting the administration to make a special pitch as the end of open enrollment season approaches on March 31. The president was on Spanishlanguage television networks last week to raise awareness.

Gallup found the biggest drop in the uninsured rate was among households making less than $36,000 a year — a decline of 2.8 percentage points.

Among blacks, the uninsured rate was down by 2.6 percentage points.

It declined by 1 percentage point among whites.

But Latinos saw a drop of just eight-tenths of a percentage point.

The Gallup poll is considered authoritative because it combines the scope and depth found in government surveys

views, or about 28 times as many as in a standard national poll.

The survey can be an early indicator of broad shifts in society. Gallup saw a modest decline in the uninsured rate in January, and now two full months of data indicate a trend is taking shape.

Gallup said the drop coincides with the start of coverage under the health care law on Jan. 1. The major elements of

Medicaid rolls are also growing, with about half the states agreeing to the program expansion in the law. Low-income people who qualify for Medicaid are able to sign up year-round, so the uninsured rate may keep going down even after the end of open enrollment for private coverage.

“We are confident we can get 100 percent (of babies) screened by the end of the year,” Berroth said.

That’s not fast enough, according to the heart association.

“My concern is the (KDHE) quality improvement project will not guarantee that every hospital will do this testing,” said Kevin Walker, the as-

sociation’s regional vice president of advocacy. “While we try to get hospitals on board, there are babies being born every day. It is my opinion the department has the authority to add the test now if it wanted it. It’s easy, it’s cheap.

What’s the holdup?”

The state hasn’t determined if it has the authority to mandate the screening, but Berroth said she believes the goal can be reached without making it a requirement.

During the test, doctors use light sensors attached to a baby’s hands or feet to measure blood oxygen levels. The tests cost less than $15 and take about 10 minutes.

More than 30 other

states, including Missouri, have made the test mandatory.

More than 7,200 babies are born every year in the U.S. with critical congenital heart defects. In some newborns, the heart problems show up quickly when their skin turns blue from the lack of oxygen. But in other cases, the defects may not show up for days or weeks, when surgery is less effective and the damage may be irreparable.

A state health survey of hospitals and birthing centers last fall found that about 78 percent of newborns in Kansas were receiving pulse oximetry screenings.

Jail: Inmate’s due date nears while she’s kept behind bars Continued from A1

until she returns to jail.

If her stay in Allen County Jail stretches beyond the baby’s birth, Murphy said he was uncertain what would occur. The decision will rest with the court system.

With motherly instincts tugging, Beatty said she would like to keep the baby.

BEATTY WAS born and raised in the Kansas City area and lived there until four years ago when she moved to Iola, where her father lived.

Beatty has two children, a 20-year-old son and 16-year-old daughter, who have lived with their father — who she never married — in Kansas City. Her son is in college, her daughter in high school.

After living in Iola about two years, Beatty returned to Kansas City and, mostly on a whim, got married. Six months later she left her husband and came back to Iola.

“It was kind of crazy.

It didn’t work out,” she said of her only marriage.

Early last fall, while working in housekeeping at Crossroads Motel with compensation being a room, Beatty got pregnant. The baby’s fa-

ther, whom she wouldn’t identify, also ran afoul of the law over drugs. He is in prison. She’s not sure where.

BEATTY’S life wasn’t always as convoluted as it is today.

She grew up loving animals, so much so that “they used to call me Ellie May, because I was always bringing home strays,” she said.

In grade school she

1

#

was fascinated by space travel. “I wanted to be an astronaut until the teacher (Christa McAuliffe) got killed,” in the 1986 explosion of the Shuttle Challenger, Beatty said.

Later, her love of animals led her to think that working in a veterinary clinic would be a career she would enjoy.

Instead, “I made a lot of bad choices,” which led to a teenage preg-

nancy, another when she was barely in her 20s and then a series of jobs and social adventures.

“I worked three years at the McDonald’s on I-70 south of Blue Springs,” where she grew up, Beatty said, as well as in a factory where products for Bass Pro were made and “even at a gas station — I never minded working.”

NOW BEATTY finds

herself alone, pregnant and in jail. She passes her days sleeping more than usual and reading, mainly romance novels.

The future doesn’t look bright, an outcome that she says resulted from “me getting caught up in the moment.”

If, somehow, she can wiggle her way through the court system and win release, Beatty said she was confident “I know what I have to do now” to

avoid becoming involved in situations that would land her back in jail.

“I kind of got caught in the middle” with her December arrest, Beatty said, with a longer explanation cut short by Murphy, citing legal implications of her being too forthcoming.

For the time being, Sheriff Murphy sees his role as doing what he can to ensure Beatty’s baby is born healthy.

Iola High’s Bryan Mueller goes in for a layup Saturday in the Mustangs’ 56-46 victory over Anderson County in the Class 4A-II substate championship game. The victory secured Iola’s first state playoff berth since 1983. REGISTER/RICHARD LUKEN

Mustangs punch their ticket to state

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

GARNETT — It stands to reason that Iola High’s up-and -down season would boil down to an up-and-down substate championship game.

That the Mustangs never blinked when their opponents from Anderson County opened the contest with a barrage of 3-pointers was key to a remarkable comeback — and in securing Iola’s first trip to the state basketball tournament in more than three decades.

Iola overcame an early 24-8 deficit by staying assignmentsound on defense, particularly down the stretch in a 56-46 victory.

The win puts Iola in the Class 4A-II state tournament,

Lancers, Crest girls fall in title games CHETOPA — The final score was disappointing, but Crest High’s effort was not.

Lancer head coach Travis Hermreck reflected on the season-ending 59-34 loss to Chetopa in Saturday’s Class 1A-II substate championship game.

“We are disappointed it’s over, but I am very proud of this crew,” Hermreck said.

“Two weeks ago, right after our sixth straight loss, I put a challenge to the guys.

They could’ve folded and just went through the motions, but they didn’t. They gave me everything they had, and finished the way it was supposed to be done.”

Cheotpa broke a 14-14 deadlock by outscoring Crest 18-4 in the second period.

“We put a scare into them the first half, but our shots ran dry,” he said. “You can’t shoot 30 percent from the field and beat a team like that.”

The score was in the HorSee CREST | Page B4

Selina Wallace joins the Iola High faithful in cheering on the Mustangs during Saturday’s Class 4A-II substate championship.

The Mustangs will next play at 3 p.m. Thursday in Park City. which opens Thursday in Park City. The Mustangs (10-12) will open play at 3 p.m. against top seed Andale (21-2) at Hartman Arena.

“This is the most memorable 10th win of a season I’ve

ever been a part of,” Mustang head coach Bill Peeper joked.

Considering the circumstances, the Mustang faithful were justified with their celebration after Anderson County’s blistering start.

The Bulldogs hit three 3-pointers as part of a 21-2 run to turn a 6-3 Iola lead into a 24-8 Anderson County advantage by the 5:09 mark of the second period.

“I just told the guys that if we could weather the storm, we’d still have a shot,” Peeper said.

Not so coincidentally, Anderson County’s perimeter shots quit falling about the time Iola’s offense started to click.

Trent Latta jump-started the Mustang attack with consecutive driving layups to cut Anderson County’s lead to 12.

Jesse Zimmerman followed moments later with a 3-pointer to cut the deficit to 26-15.

“I knew I needed to step up and be aggressive,” said Latta, who finished with a season-

high 21 points.

The Bulldogs led 30-15 before Iola ended the half with 12 straight points.

Latta and Tyler McIntosh hit consecutive treys in the final two minutes of the second quarter before Tyler Powelson scored inside, Kaden Macha converted a steal and layup with 20 seconds left and Zimmerman hit a pair of free throws with 4 seconds remaining.

The run extended to 14 points when Powelson and Macha each scored inside, giving Iola its first lead, 31-30, since early in the first period.

The Bulldogs responded, scoring seven straight to take a 38-33 lead late in the third before Fryendz Wallace comSee MUSTANGS | Page B4

Burlington ends Fillies’ substate run

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

GARNETT — Burlington High’s Wildcats, one of the strongest girls basketball programs in the area, was on its heels.

After the Wildcats rolled through the regular season with a 19-1 mark, then opened substate play with a 32-point romp over Anderson County, it would have been natural to figure it was only a matter of time before the Wildcats needed to clear some more area in their trophy case.

Saturday’s substate championship against Iola High’s Fillies looked no different.

The Wildcats scored the game’s first 10 points before Iola attempted its first field goal.

“We could have said, ‘Here we go again,’” Iola head coach Becky Carlson said. “But we fought through it.”

Did they ever.

Iola blitzed the top-ranked Wildcats with a 14-0 run to take the lead late in the first half.

Burlington responded as champions can do, scoring 17 straight of its own, then withstanding a Fillies charge down the stretch.

Burlington’s 51-38 win puts the Wildcats (21-1) as the top seed in the upcoming Class 4A-II state tournament. The

Iola High’s Toni Macha, center, battles with Burlington High’s Breanna Bluma (23), Shelbi Emlin (22) and Madison Stradel (11) for a rebound in Saturday’s Class 4A-II substate championship game. Macha scored nine in Iola’s 51-38 defeat. REGISTER/RICHARD LUKEN loss ends Iola’s season at 13-9.

“We gave them everything they wanted,” Carlson said.

“Burlington is that good for a reason. They played some great defense.”

The Wildcat press fueled

Burlington’s third quarter run.

Burlington’s Summer Kirchner scored to give the Wildcats a 30-17 lead less than three minutes into the third, after the squads were tied 17-

17 at halftime.

Iola didn’t go down without a fight.

Missing jet spurs search for clues KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Rescue helicopters and ships searching for a Malaysia Airlines jet rushed today to investigate a yellow object that looked like a life raft. It turned out to be moss-covered trash floating in the ocean, once again dashing hopes after more than two days of fruitless search for the plane that disappeared en route to Beijing with 239 people on board.

With no confirmation that the Boeing 777 had crashed, hundreds of distraught relatives waited anxiously for any news. Thai police and Interpol questioned the proprietors of a travel agency in the resort town of Pattaya that sold one-way tickets to two men now known to have been traveling on flight MH370 using stolen passports.

Malaysia’s Department of Civil Aviation chief, Azharuddin Abdul Rahman, told a news conference that investigators were looking at “every angle” to explain the plane’s disappearance early Saturday, including hijacking.

“There are many experts around the world who have contributed their knowhow and knowledge,” Azharuddin said. “As far as we are concerned, we are equally puzzled as well.”

The search operation has involved 34 aircraft and 40 ships from several countries covering a 50-nautical mile radius from the point the plane vanished from radar screens between Malaysia and Vietnam, he said.

Earthquake hits Calif.

EUREKA, Calif. (AP) — A very strong earthquake rattled the Northern California coast and was widely felt across the region, but authorities said early today there were no reports of any injuries or damages.

The magnitude-6.9 quake struck at 10:18 p.m. Sunday and was centered 50 miles west of Eureka and about four miles beneath the Pacific seabed, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It was followed by about a half-dozen aftershocks, including one of magnitude 4.6.

The quake was felt widely across the region.

The National Tsunami Warning Center said there was no tsunami danger for the region.

But more than 3,000 people reported on the USGS website that they felt the quake. Some reported a long, rolling shake that woke children or knocked items off shelves. Some of those respondents live across the border in Oregon.

“This lasted longer than any earthquake I’ve ever felt,” Raquel Maytorena, 52, who lives about a mile from the coast in Ferndale near Eureka, told The Los Angeles Times. “It just kept going and going, very slowly and softly. It was not violent. It almost felt like you were in a boat that was rocking.”

Cowley hitting, pitching key in sweep over Allen ARKANSAS CITY — A tough weekend series culminated Sunday in a doubleheader sweep for Allen Community College’s baseball team at the hands of Cowley.

The Red Devils, who lost a pair to Cowley on Thursday, dropped two more on Sunday afternoon, 10-3 and 13-2.

The losses drop Allen’s record to 5-10.

Cowley wasted little time in jumping on ACC pitching in the opener, leading 6-0 by the end of the second.

Allen scored its three in the top of the third, loading the bases with nobody out on two walks and a hit batter. Trevor Kreifel cleared the bases with a double.

The Red Devils were limited to five hits. Kreifel added a

“I was pleased with the girls’ effort,” SCC head coach Jeff True said. “They battled until the end. We just ran into a very good team.”

scoring drought — Toni Macha drilled a short jumper, Emma Piazza connected on a layup and Addie Haar’s bucket to end the period had the Fillies within nine, 34-25.

The Wildcats pushed back to a 13-point cushion before Piazza sandwiched a 3-pointer and a short jumper around a Burlington turnover to cut the gap to 38-28.

The ensuing sequence was pivotal.

The Fillies forced a tie-up on Burlington’s next possession, but did not get the alternating possession as originally expected. That’s because a previous tie-up didn’t count when Iola was whistled for a foul on the inbounds pass.

Keeping possession, the Wildcats immediately fed the ball inside to Kirchner, who scored and hit a follow-up free throw to complete the three-point play with 5:17 left.

The teams traded points over the next three minutes. Iola’s Lexie Long scored the Fillies’ final six points of the game, the final two coming on a pair of free throws with 49 seconds left.

The Wildcats hit enough free throws in the waning seconds to pull away.

THE START was all

Burlington.

Iola had six turnovers in the game’s first four minutes as the Wildcats made life rough with its vaunted defense.

A traveling call on the Fillies’ Emery Driskel immediately preceded a layup by Burlington’s Madison Stradel, putting the Wildcats in front 10-0.

Macha connected for Iola with 1:46 left in the quarter. Piazza hit a pair of free throws with 22

The first quarter ended with a scary scene as Burlington senior Breanna Bluma fell into the Anderson County High School bleachers as she chased down the ball along the sidelines.

She writhed in pain for several minutes as the crowd drew silent. She eventually was helped from the floor.

Iola took advantage of her absence.

Long scored on a putback to open the second period, Lohman followed with a 3-pointer, and Macha’s 3-point play with 5:10 left in the half gave the Fillies, a 12-10 lead.

The Fillies forced a Burlington miss on the Wildcats’ next possession. Sydney Wade assisted on another Macha basket to cap the 14-point Iola run.

Bluma did her best Willis Reed impression, returning to the court with 5 minutes left in the half, and immediately sparked Burlington by drilling a 3-pointer at the 4:26 mark. But she also aggravated her knee injury, and limped off

the court moments later, this time for good.

Iola wasn’t finished.

Long’s 3-pointer pushed Iola’s lead to 1713 with 3:09 left in the half before Alexa Dorcas and Malori Wagner each hit field goals to tie the score at 17-17 going into halftime.

Long came off the bench to score a teamhigh 11 points to lead the Fillies. Macha chipped in with nine. Lohman had seven points and four rebounds. Wade dished out two assists.

Dorcas paced Burlington with 16 points.

Kirchner followed with nine.

“These girls played their hearts out,” Carlson said. “I can’t say enough about the job Lexie Long, Sydney Wade and Toni Macha did off the bench to give us a spark. Emma was great on defense, and Jo Lohman really gave us a spark in the first half.

“Really, everybody who was in there had good moments for us,” she continued. “I hope the girls are excited to already think about next year. I know I am.”

Iola’s 13 victories were 12 more than last year’s one-win season.

“For these girls to win a league championship and advance to a substate championship game was a testament to how hard they worked and how much they improved,” Carlson said.

The Fillies’ roster should return virtually intact, with one notable exception.

Senior Hannah Endicott played her last game in an Iola uniform. Her absence will leave a void, Carlson said.

“Hannah was a great team leader,” Carlson said. “She did a great job of pulling the girls together and keeping them calm. I couldn’t have asked for a better leader.”

“We talked at the start of the season how it had been 31 years since we’ve been able to put a banner up on our gymnasium wall for basketball. These guys wanted to change that, and they did. And the closer you get to the end, the more special moments become.

For our seniors, this week has been pretty special.”

Wallace added nine points, 11 rebounds and two blocks. Powelson had seven points and six rebounds.

Zach Hilliard scored 10 to pace the Bulldogs.

Tanner Lickteig and Jacob Rundle followed with seven apiece.

Peeper offered two promises: the Mustangs will enter the state tournament confident they can build on their substate success; and practices this week should feature a building sense of excitement.

Latta scored twice in the first 60 seconds of the fourth quarter, giving the Mustangs the lead for good at the 7:05 mark, 40-38. Wallace scored on the Mustangs’ next two possessions to push the lead to 44-38.

Zach Hilliard’s layup with 2:13 left cut Iola’s lead to 47-43, but the Bulldogs drew no closer.

Latta, McIntosh and Powelson combined to hit 9 of 12 free throws down the stretch to seal the win.

“We knew that teams that live by the outside shot can die by the outside shot, too,” Peeper said. “I felt all along that if we could play with toughness and poise that this was a team we could beat.

But Anderson County is such a scrappy team, and they like to really make it tough on you.”

The significance of the win, and advancing to state, was not lost on McIntosh.

“It felt great to win, but the fact it hasn’t been done for more than 30 years made it extra special,” said McIntosh, who added eight points, two assists and two blocks.

“As seniors, we knew it could be our last game.

We didn’t want to go out with a loss.”

“We’ve got a great group of seniors, and we seem to be peaking at the right time,” Peeper said. “Who knows what’s going to
