BACK TO SCHOOL 2013

The journey begins

Kaden eager for kindergarten

By BOB JOHNSON bob@iolaregister.com

When Kaden Ludwig walked into his kindergarten room at Lincoln Elementary this morning, he found his teacher, Shelly Meadows, was as excited as he was about his first day at school.

“I love it that they’re so young and innocent and excited to learn,” Meadows said Wednesday afternoon as she put finishing touches on her room, which will be home to 20 students over the next nine months. “It’s amazing how much they grow that first year, how far they come.”

Ella embraces IMS challenge

By KAYLA BANZET kayla@iolaregister.com

The transition from Jefferson Elementary to Iola Middle School may be scary or nerve-wracking for some students, but not Ella Taylor.

Ella, 11, entered the hallowed halls of IMS this morning along with her classmates to start their first day of middle school. Sixth-grade students started today, a day ahead of seventh- and eighth-graders, to adjust to the new environment.

Wades take IHS plunge

CAIRO (AP) — Egyptian authorities today significantly raised the death toll from clashes the previous day between police and supporters of the ousted Islamist president, saying more than 500 people died and laying bare the extent of the violence that swept much of the country and prompted the government to declare a nationwide state of emergency and a nighttime curfew.

The death toll, which stood at 525, according to the latest Health Ministry figures, makes Wednesday by far the deadliest day since the 2011 popular uprising that toppled longtime ruler and autocrat Hosni Mubarak — a grim milestone that does not bode well for the future of a nation roiled in turmoil and divisions for the past 2 ? years.

Health Ministry spokesman Khaled elKhateeb put the number of the injured on Wednesday at 3,717.

The Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamist group from which ousted President Mohammed Morsi hails, put the death toll at a staggering 2,600 and the injured at around 10,000 — figures that are extremely high in light of footage by regional and local TV networks, as well as The Associated Press.

Sydney and Garrett Wade, both 14, are making the transition from middle school to high school this fall, and though they may be twins, they’re looking to make their IHS experience their own.

“I’m confident, I feel like I’m ready,” Garrett said.

In a fresh escalation, Morsi supporters this morning tried to storm the building housing the local government in Giza, Cairo’s twin city on the west bank of the Nile River. Police repelled the attack, arresting several protesters, according to state television. The building on the famed Pyramids Road, was evacuated.

Near the site of one of the smashed encampments of Morsi’s supporters in the eastern Nasr City district, an Associated Press reporter today saw dozens of blood-soaked bodies stored inside a mosque. The bodies were wrapped in sheets and still unclaimed by families.

Relatives at the scene were uncovering the faces in an attempt to identify their loved ones. Many complained that authorities were preventing them from obtaining permits to bury their dead.

El-Khateeb said 202 of the 525 were killed in the Nasr City protest camp, but it was not immediately clear whether the bodies at the mosque were included in that figure. Another Health Ministry spokesman, Mohammed Fathallah, said he had no knowledge of the bodies at the el-Iman mosque.

Victims’ names were scribbled on white sheets covering their bodies, some of which were charred. Posters of Morsi were scattered on the floor.

Grenade found in Goodwill donations DERBY, Kan. (AP) — Workers at a southcentral Kansas thrift store found an inactive hand grenade in a box of donations.

The Wichita Eagle reported that workers at the Derby Goodwill Store found the grenade Wednesday.

Police Chief Robert Lee said store employees called police

and reported finding what appeared to be a hand grenade. Police responded but were unable to determine if the explosive was live, so they called the bomb squad.

The store was shut down for about an hour until crews determined the grenade was a dud and disposed of it.

selor, said the extra day makes it easier for the kids to handle the new environment because the hallways aren’t as crowded.

A big change for students is they have to switch classes and teachers instead of having one teacher for the entire day. Ella said she will miss having one teacher, but likes her schedule.

“I’m taking social studies, language arts, life science, P.E., band and math,” she said.

Crusinbery said some students struggle with certain things the first few days of school.

“At the middle school students have lockers and they only have four minutes to get from each class and that always scares them,” Cruisnbery said.

Other concerns students have are making it up the stairs in time and showering in P.E. class.

“In the spring I take a couple of sixth grade students to talk to fifth-graders and let them know what it’s like,” Crusinberry said. “They let them know that they were in the same position last year.”

This talk helps ease students’ minds.

Crusinbery said for the last couple of years students have transitioned into the new environment very well.

For some it takes a little longer to adjust than others.

ELLA’S favorite subject is either physical eduction or math. She is also looking forward to being in band and playing trombone.

“I took lessons over the summer and I think I’m good at it,” she said.

Ella’s mom, Jennifer Taylor, said Ella took trombone lessons from IMS band teacher Matt Kleopfer.

“I think the band program is wonderful,” Jennifer said.

Jennifer and her husband, Ben, have already had two children attend the middle school and are pleased with its faculty.

“Mr. Stanley does a ‘pay day’ every two weeks for things like perfect attendance and then they get to go on a trip at the end of the semester,” Jennifer said. “He does a lot of great things to keep them motivated.”

Friday, seventh- and eighth-grade students will join the sixthgraders for a regular day of classes.

H Wades Continued from A1 and Sydney plays volleyball, basketball and softball — they both intend to be active as Iola Mustangs. Janise, the twins’ mother, said they are top-notch students as well.

“I’m ready for it,” their mother said. “It’s definitely a different caliber.”

Not everything is a bed of roses during the transition, Sydney said. She knows high school is a different beast altogether.

She said some of her friends, who are also moving up, aren’t as confident as they are.

“They’re really scared, they don’t know what the seniors will think of us,” Sydney said.

She said fitting in can be more difficult for girls than boys.

“Boys are not as selfconscious as girls are,” Sydney said. “Girls are a lot harder to deal with.”

Garrett said he already knows some of the high school boys, and he isn’t too worried about fitting into

the crowd. Either way, they have each other to rely on as twins — maybe.

“Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn’t,” Sydney said with a laugh.

BOTH ARE excited about the opportunities high school can offer in regards to their education. Garrett is interested in video production and editing, while Sydney’s love is sports. She said if she can’t play sports as a career, she wants to be involved somehow — maybe sports marketing.

They both agreed the expanded amount of classes will help them take their first steps toward their careers.

“There a lot more options for classes,” Garrett said.

Janise, and the twins’ father. Mark, both attended Iola High School. They, too, are looking forward to seeing their children succeed.

“They’re really great students,” Janise said.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Giving always yields a return Kudos to Allen County for loosening its purse strings for the Bowlus Fine Arts Center.

The Center is a model child and deserves the increase in allowance.

The county will now devote one-third of a mill to the Bowlus, an average of about $32,000. Up until now, the Bowlus could depend on about $2,500 from county coffers. The City of Iola, meanwhile, will continue to devote one full mill to the Bowlus, which this year will equate to about $31,900.

The Bowlus benefits the entire county when events come its way. In a county this small, visitors love to scout the sites, restaurants and stores of all of its cities.

The county also uses the Bowlus on a regular basis for meetings, 4-H events, and special programs.

The Bowlus is coming up on its 50th year as a county fixture for area students and citizens. The county’s increased commitment couldn’t come at a better time.

COMMISSIONERS

weren’t so eager to commit to a program to entice college graduates to our area.

The program involves a 50 percent match with the state to help graduates repay their student loans in return for them locating in our area for five years.

The loans cap out at $15,000 per student spread out over the five years.

Participating Woodson County has pledged $6,000 to the program, which with

the state’s match will create a healthy enticement for prospective grads of community colleges and universities.

Businesses also can participate in the program.

Monarch Cement, for example, could pledge $7,500 to entice an engineering student to come its way. Right off the bat, that $15,000 could go a long ways in getting students to give Allen County a second glance.

The average student loan debt for graduates with four-year degrees is almost $27,000 — double from 20 years ago when adjusted for inflation.

Students today are desperate for ways to whittle down that debt so they can get on with their lives and put their money toward more rewarding things, such as a home.

That five years immediately after graduation is an ideal time to get people to settle here. They bring new energy, ideas and maybe even a significant other.

Small town America may sound hokey, but to many young families they find our communities, schools and places of work a welcome retreat from the big city.

The program is coordinated by the Kansas Department of Commerce through its Rural Opportunity Zone Program.

Barbara Anderson, Iola, pitched the program to commissioners Tuesday.

They should welcome her back and say yes to her invitation to participate.

Cruz going down wrong track Obstructionism will backfire on Republican Party Why Ted, why? It’s a fool’s errand to block Obamacare and bring disaster on the government and GOP Ted Cruz is a smart man.

Texas’ junior U.S. senator is an expert on the U.S. Constitution and a brilliant, Harvardeducated trial lawyer who has appeared before the U.S. Supreme Court numerous times.

Why then, for heaven’s sakes, is Cruz signing on in support of a tea party-led effort to block funding of the Affordable Care Act that threatens a shutdown of the government? This makes no sense, either for Texas or for the Republican Party. In the unlikely event it succeeds, it would spell disaster for both.

GOP strategist Karl Rove,

Education — a core concern Some political groups and Kansas lawmakers who are pushing against the adoption of Common Core Standards in public schools could use a dose of education, and perhaps something to refresh their memories.

Common Core standards have been adopted as a way to measure student progress and achievement in English language arts and math in 45 states. They are, more or less, the new and improved version of No Child Left Behind, which was one of the signature initiatives of former President George W. Bush.

It is a state-led effort, developed by the National Governors Association, along with education experts throughout the nation. Its aim is to establish benchmarks that states can use to ensure students have the necessary skills to enter college or the work force.

It was not developed by the federal government and is not a sinister plot to nationalize the country’s public education system. It’s an effort, much like NCLB, to improve educational outcomes for U.S. students — and, like NCLB, federal education dollars have been tied to adoption of the Common Core standards, which is not a new practice by the federal government.

Yet, that didn’t stop some lawmakers from attempting to derail Common Core at the end of the regular legislative session in Topeka. It didn’t stop the creation of a group, Kansans Against Common Core, which hopes to remove Kansas as a participating state. And it didn’t stop the local Tea Party group — the Patriot Freedom Alliance — from flying in a speaker from

the Koch-funded Heartland Institute to provide misinformation about how Common Core is akin to Soviet-style communism.

Such groups might do the country’s future a favor by working to find solutions to

in a whirlpool of competing ideologies and the accompanying measurements, matrices and quality control tests that develop around the latest in teaching standards.

Under NCLB, teachers spent far too much time and

The country’s education system is in dire straits — of that there is no doubt. American students are falling behind students from other modernized countries, and there’s little evidence that trend will soon change. Some argue that it’s a lack of funding, while others argue that public, taxpayer-funded education has outlived its effectiveness.

Yet the underlying problem is that teachers — who simply want to help students learn and prepare for the future — often find themselves caught

effort proving to state officials — and eventually federal education officials — that they were teaching and their students were learning. Common Core likely will come with its own load of unnecessary paperwork — but it is no more a federal takeover of education than Bush’s less vilified attempts at education reform.

As long as groups like the Heartland Institute, Kansans Against Common Core and the local Patriot Freedom Alliance waste time on mythical problems, they fail to contribute anything meaningful to the real discussion that needs to happen about how to improve public education.

among many others, has pointed out that the strategy would affect only about 1 percent of funding for Obamacare, which is scheduled to come into effect in October.

In the unlikely event Cruz and others succeed in shutting down the government over funding for Obamacare, the results will be a publ i c - re l at i o n s disaster that Ted Cruz the Obama administration undoubtedly will use to maximum effect in the 2014 midterm congressional elections.

Besides, Cruz was sent to Washington to represent all Texans’ best interests. In this case, that duty is best carried out not by stoking more political drama but by showing respect for a process, decreed by

the Constitution Cruz rightly reveres, that has made the Affordable Care Act the law of the land.

From a strictly partisan point of view, the most baffling aspect of this approach is the total lack of an upside it would bring for Cruz and his party.

If Obamacare is the disaster that Cruz and others in the GOP claim it is, the logical course for Republicans is to let it fail.

There is not a single Republican fingerprint on the Obamacare legislation. It was passed by Democrats, and only Democrats, in both houses of Congress.

If the GOP leadership truly believes Obamacare is the disaster they say it is, why not stand aside, let it be implemented and watch it flop?

Or maybe they are truly worried that it will succeed.

Basic services hurt in economic border war Here’s one more reason Kansas and Missouri lawmakers need to stop handing out excessive taxpayer incentives to entice companies to hop from one side of the state line to the other.

This costly border war — which has produced few net new jobs in the metro area — also has pushed local cities to pile on and give millions more in public subsidies to selected businesses. Those decisions often have reduced future revenues the cities and other taxing jurisdictions could and should receive from the companies.

One prime example: Kan-

sas City decided to pour in more than $30 million in tax breaks to woo Freightquote’s headquarters from Lenexa, adding to Missouri’s already ample incentives. The Center School District and other jurisdictions won’t get the millions in higher property taxes they should have had coming from the building.

Elected officials in both states recently have indicated a willingness to resolve the border war. To help cities and other entities provide better public services, the end needs to come posthaste.

H Egypt Continued from A1 to-toe black niqab.

Omar Houzien, a volunteer helping families search for their loved ones, said the bodies were brought in from the Medical Center at the sitin camp site in the final hours of Wednesday’s police sweep because of fears that they would be burned.

A list plastered on the wall listed 265 names of those said to have been killed in Wednesday’s violence at the sit-in. Funerals for identified victims were expected to take place later on Thursday.

Meanwhile, a mass police funeral — with caskets draped in the white, red and black Egyptian flag — was held in Cairo for some of the 43 security troops killed in Wednesday’s clashes.

Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim, who is in charge of the police, led the mourners. A police band played funerary music as a somber funeral procession moved with the coffins placed atop red fire engines.

Wednesday’s violence started with riot police raiding and clearing out the two camps, sparking clashes there and elsewhere in the Egyptian capital and other cities.

Supporters of ousted Egyptian president Morsi clash with security forces in Cairo, Wednesday. Egypt security forces launched an early morning attack Wednesday on two sit-ins by supporters of Morsi, firing ammunition and razing the sites with bulldozers in an attack that killed hundreds. and many stores and government offices shuttered.

Many people hunkered down at home for fear of more violence. Banks and the stock market were closed.

THE BROTHERHOOD

has called for fresh protests nationwide today, raising the specter of renewed violence. It warned that the protests would grow in intensity, but gave no details.

By early afternoon, dozens of Morsi supporters were blocking a main road near

the site of the Nasr City camp, disrupting traffic.

The latest events in Egypt drew widespread condemnation from the Muslim world and the West, including the United States, Egypt’s main foreign backer for over 30 years.

Nobel Peace Prize winner Mohamed ElBaradei resigned later Wednesday as Egypt’s interim vice president in protest — a blow to the new leadership’s credibility with the pro-reform movement.

Interim Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi said in a televised address to the nation that it was a “difficult day” and that he regretted the bloodshed but offered no apologies for moving against Morsi’s supporters, saying they were given ample warnings to leave and he had tried foreign mediation efforts.

The leaders of Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood called it a “massacre.”

“We start out with things as simple as how to walk down the hall,” Meadows said, “and how to do other ‘school’ things,” such as bathroom breaks and recess.

Education is the central theme, and that also is applied in a patient manner. By the time a student has completed kindergarten, he or she is expected to know letters of the alphabet and what each sounds like, including some long vowels.

“I’m not quite ready for him to grow up,” said Kourtenay, “but I’m excited about Kaden going to school, and so is he.”

She won’t suffer empty-nest syndrome as much as some mothers sending children off to school for the first time. Since October 2011, Kourtenay has worked as a paraprofessional, and currently helps with special needs children at Lincoln, which means she and Kaden will see each other at school.

Even so, Kourtenay likely had a tear in her eye as she watched him march from car to school for the first time this morning.

He may be a little more prepared than some of Sherwood’s students. He attended the Growing Place (child care center) in Humboldt and then a year of preschool there before being enrolled in the Iola district’s preschool last year.

Naturally enough, Kaden doesn’t know exactly what to expect in kindergarten, but allowed that he does like to do crafts.

And, “I like to play,” he said.

MEADOWS is in her eighth year with USD 257, which coincides with when the district changed from half- to full-day kindergarten.

“I start out trying to make them feel comfortable,” with being in school all day and getting along with other students, Meadows said.

“Usually all of them have been to preschool, which helps.”

Her approach is not to

sites, scores of other Islamists were taken into custody, and the future of the once-banned movement was uncertain.

Backed by helicopters, police fired tear gas and used armored bulldozers to plow into the barricades at the two protest camps on opposite ends of Cairo. Morsi’s supporters had been camped out since before he was ousted by a July 3 coup that followed days of mass protests by millions of Egyptians demanding that he step down.

The smaller camp — near Cairo University in Giza — was cleared of protesters relatively quickly, but it took about 12 hours for police to take control of the main sit-in site near the Rabaah alAdawiya Mosque in Nasr City that has served as the epicenter of the pro-Morsi campaign and had drawn chanting throngs of men, women and children only days earlier.

Marlins score late to knock off Royals

By BOB DUTTON

The Kansas City Star

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (MCT) — It’s easy — all too easy, probably — to point simply to a costly error by Elliot Johnson, whom the Royals put at third base Wednesday afternoon in place of an injured Mike Moustakas, as the pivotal moment in a wrenching loss.

It’s true that Johnson botched a spinning grounder in the seventh inning that led to two unearned runs in a 5-2 loss to the often-woeful Miami Marlins at Kauffman Stadium.

“It seems like an easy play,” Johnson said. “It wasn’t as easy as it seemed, but still, I

should have made it. I’m playing in the big leagues. You’ve got to make those kind of plays.”

There was more, though.

The Royals’ attack again showed disturbing signs of flatlining after mustering only five hits one night after getting just four in 10 innings in a 1-0 loss to the Marlins.

“It’s two days,” manager Ned Yost said. “And (Tuesday) night, we faced arguably one of the best young pitchers in the game (in Jose Fernandez).

Good pitching again today.

“It’s not an excuse. If we’re going to do what we want to do, eventually we’re going to

have to beat good pitchers.

That’s a fact.”

And beat bad teams.

This was the second straight home loss to the Marlins, who possess the National League’s worst record — even after these two victories — at 46-73.

So, not exactly the momentum kick the Royals wanted prior to what still projects as a season-defining, five-game weekend series against the first-place Tigers that begins tonight Thursday night in Detroit.

“We had plenty of chances to score runs,” first baseman See ROYALS | Page B4

HOPES SKY HIGH FOR ACC RUNNERS

The 2013 Allen Community College cross country team is, front from left, Alisn Stevens, Danae McGee, Tirza Soap, Mahalia Soap and Caitlin Boeckman; second from left, Diego Sanchez, Tucker Morgan, Brock Artis, Dallas Snider, Ryan Pulsifer, Patrick Rachford, Connor Immenschuh, Trail Spears and Angel Vasquez; third from left, Dawson Colglazier, Salvador Medrano, Jacob Spence, Meshach Adams, Tegan Michael, Kyle Schauvliege, Brandon Bernal and head coach Vince DeGrado.

Freshman class adds to already deep squad Vince DeGrado is not the type to spout hyperbole. Nor is he one who shies away from challenging himself or his players.

So when Allen Community College’s cross country coach declares the Red Devils’ 2013 men’s squad as perhaps the deepest and most talented team he’s ever coached, it certainly raises eyebrows.

DeGrado, remember, coached the Cowley Community College men’s and women’s cross country teams to national championships in 2010.

“This is the deepest and most talented team I’ve coached on paper,” he stressed. “We still need to go out and prove it.”

And while the added expectations for the Red Devil

The reason for DeGrado’s optimism is the stable of returning runners from last year’s Jayhawk Conference East championship squad, plus a sterling recruiting class.

together will dictate the Red Devils’ success, DeGrado said.

As for the conference and Region VI championships, DeGrado also is excited.

“We ran a good race last year at regionals, but Colby won a perfect race and nipped us at the end,” he said. “We want to challenge Colby this year because they’re the champs. In order to be the man, you’ve got

LEADING the returnees is Tampa, Fla., sophomore Ryan Pulsifer, who finished fourth among conference runners in 2012, Kyle Schauvliege of Manhattan, who was eighth in conference, Jacob Spence, who red shirted for Allen last year, and Patrick Rachford, who showed tremendous strides in improving his mechanics over last season.

“Our sophomores have a good grasp of what to expect, can stay motivated and know how to stay in shape over the summer,” DeGrado said. “And while it’s great having all this depth, it’s even better having our number one runner back.”

The Miami Herald

MIAMI (MCT) — Sorry, Johnny. You’re not getting much sympathy here.

If the ESPN reports are true, and you chose to disregard NCAA rules and get paid big bucks to sign more than Johnny 4,400 items for Manziel m e m o r ab i l i a brokers, then you should lose your college eligibility for at least one season.

The rule — hypocritical as it might seem — is plain

as day, and all college athletes must abide, even if your name’s Johnny Manziel, you won the Heisman Trophy and your nickname is a registered trademark: “12.5.2.1: After becoming a student-athlete, an individual shall not be eligible for participation in intercollegiate athletics if the individual: (a) Accepts any remuneration for or permits the use of his or her name or picture to advertise, recommend or promote directly the sale or use of a commercial product or service of any kind.”

By the way, your alleged infraction caused nervous athletic directors all over the

country to examine their autograph policies, and innocent fans will be punished.

The University of Miami announced Monday that “in light of recent national news, student-athletes will only sign the official Miami Hurricanes athletics team posters that will be provided for free” at this weekend’s CanesFest.

Each fan is limited to one autograph. At Louisville, they went a step further, forbidding all autographs at Sunday’s fan festival.

Did they overreact? Yes. Only a handful of athletes are in position to profit from their signatures, and most autograph-seekers are not heading

A Monday meeting for students playing fall sports at Iola Middle School now will include cross country runners.

The 6 p.m. meeting will be in the IMS commons area, athletics director Terry Lower said.

At their meeting earlier this week, USD 257 school board members approved the formation of a middle school cross country squad.

The team will be coached

by Marv Smith, who already coaches the Iola High cross country squad.

Participants in cross country, football and volleyball and their parents are encouraged to attend the meeting.

The middle school’s annual open house will follow at 6:30.

Brady injures knee in practice

to eBay. Is the NCAA rule hypocritical? Absolutely. The NCAA and “higher institutions of learning” use talented highprofile athletes to sustain a billion-dollar industry, fill stadiums, hike TV ratings, boost enrollment and sell merchandise. Heck, were it not for ESPN’s Jay Bilas’ Twitter tirade last week, fans might still be able to find your No. 2 Texas A&M jerseys for sale on ShopNCAAsports.com.

Turns out, replica numbered jerseys of top football and basketball players were being sold for $59.95 to $179.95

FOXBOROUGH, Mass.

(AP) — Tom Brady walked off the field under his own power. Several teammates didn’t think he was hurt badly when he grabbed his left knee after being knocked down.

Yet the possibility that the Tom Brady New England Patriots might lose their star quarterback caused a scare at the team’s joint practice with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Wednesday.

A person with knowledge of the injury said an MRI was negative and Brady was day-to-day with a left knee sprain. Asked if Brady might play Friday night in an exhibition game against the Buccaneers, the person said he didn’t know.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the Patriots didn’t make an announcement.

The two-time league MVP had a season-ending injury to the same knee in

DAILY CRYPTOQUOTES - Here’s how to work it:

Sudoku is like a crossword puzzle, but uses numbers instead of words.

The puzzle is a box of 81 squares, subdivided into 3x3 cubes of 9 squares each. Some squares are filled in with numbers. The rest should be filled in by the puzzler. Fill in the blank squares allowing the numbers 1-9 to appear only once in every row, once in every column and once in every 3x3 box. One-star puzzles are for beginners, and the difficulty gradually increases through the week to a very challenging fivestar puzzle.

H ACC Continued from B1

The Red Devils also have brought in sophomore Brandon Bernal, a transfer out of Sanger, Texas.

“We’re excited to see what we can do,” DeGrado said. “We hope to see some good things.”

A HERALDED freshman class will do more than complement the sophomores.

Leading the way will be Angel Vasquez of De Soto, who won the Class 4A 3200-meter run at the Kansas state track meet in May. “We look for him to battle to be among our top three or four runners,” DeGrado said.

Vasquez’s classmate from De Soto, Diego Sanchez, has already been descried by DeGrado as a “good surprise” for the Red Devils.

“Those are good kids who come from a great program like De Soto,” DeGrado said.

Meanwhile, Greenacres, Fla., runner Salva-

dor Medrano is expected to show improvement through the season, and could challenge ACC’s top runners by the time the season hits its home stretch in October.

Other key freshmen for the Red Devils this year will be Denver Parker and Dallas Snider, both of whom hail from Washington state, and Topeka West product Connor Immenschuh.

PERHAPS DeGrado’s biggest source of excitement isn’t in his team’s talent. Rather, it’s in his team’s desire to improve.

“You have runners like Brock (Artis) and Patrick who were aboveaverage runners in high school, but they have bought into the system and steadily improved to be great runners for us,” DeGrado said.

THE RED Devil women’s squad has its own set of challenges.

While light on numbers — the squad only has five — DeGrado is nevertheless optimistic.

“I pointed out that last year, we had quite a bit of drop-off from our top five runners to the next five,” he said.

Even so, the Red Devil women narrowly missed earning a conference and region championship.

“We hope to still be a top-10 team in the nation,” DeGrado said.

“We still want to bring in some trophies this year.”

It helps to have an AllAmerican returning, which he does in Stroud, Okla., sophomore Danae McGee. McGee finished ninth in the country at the 2012 national meet.

“She was the top freshman finisher in the nation last year,” he said. “She’s been a little banged up with injuries, but that happens.”

Tulsa’s Mahalia Soap qualified for the national meet in the 800- and 1500-meter runs in outdoor track last spring after being unable to run cross country last fall because of transfer rules.

“Mahalia’s done a tremendous job over

2013 Allen Community College Cross Country

the summer,” DeGrado said. “She’s come back to school fit and ready to go.”

Soap’s sister, Tirzah, also joins the team this year.

Caitlin Boeckman, a Wamego product, red shirted in 2012, should be able to provide a spark.

“She’s happy to be able to run injury-free,” DeGrado said.

The other newcomer, Wichita’s Alisn Stevens, also impresses her coach, particularly with her attitude.

“She runs with a chip on her shoulder, with a little arrogance. I like that,” he said. “This is her first year running cross country, so she doesn’t know what she’s getting herself into, but I’m very excited about what she can offer.”

The Red Devil squads will host Allen’s second annual Red Vs. Black scrimmage at 5:30 p.m.

Friday at Riverside Park before opening the 2013 season Aug. 23 at home with the King’s Sandwich Classic.

on the NCAA website.

Fans could find them by typing the players’ names in the search field. The NCAA, embarrassed, found itself in yet another public relations nightmare.

“Moving forward, the NCAA online shop will no longer offer college and university merchandise ... the store’s website will be shut down temporarily and reopen in a few weeks as a marketplace for NCAA championship merchandise only. After becoming aware of issues with the site, we determined the core function of the NCAA.com fan should not be to offer merchandise licensed by our member schools.”

It took Bilas to make the NCAA “aware” it was selling jerseys? If it can’t oversee its website, how does it expect to oversee hundreds of college athletic programs?

Three years ago, Georgia wide receiver A.J. Green was suspended four games for selling his autographed jersey for $1,000. Meanwhile, more than 20 versions of his No. 8 jersey were for sale on the Bulldogs’ athletic department website.

That same season, the University of Nebraska auctioned off game-worn jerseys with starting bids of $250. Not surprisingly, the top seller — and the jersey that was used to advertise the auction — was No. 3, that of quarterback Taylor Martinez.

So, the school could make money off Martinez’s number, but he couldn’t.

Hypocritical?

Abso-

If you can command five figures for a stack of autographs, you should be Johnny Professional Football. lutely.

But please, Johnny sympathizers, spare me the slave analogies.

To suggest that college athletes are slaves is an insult to all those who truly suffered. College athletes are compensated with full scholarships worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, a privilege most high school seniors can only dream about. They get housing and free meals.

They get free tutors and free travel — in many cases on chartered jets. They are provided a nationally televised stage on which to audition for the NFL and NBA, and an invaluable network of boosters who can help them get jobs later in life.

They get free athletic clothing and gear. Lots of it. If they go to a major school, they get to work out in state-of-theart facilities.

Nebraska’s athletic building features a 40foot waterfall. Oregon’s 145,000 square-foot athletic complex, funded by Nike’s Phil Knight, has foosball tables from Barcelona, an art installation, computer docking stations at every locker, a cafeteria modeled after the one at Google headquarters and sofas made of the leather used to upholster Ferraris.

Aggies players spend their days at the $27 million Bright Football Complex, a 125,000-squarefoot facility that boasts 130 solid oak lockers and a 15,000-square-foot training room complete with doctor’s offices and walk-in whirlpools.

The Texas A&M website says: “Aggie football players also keep their wide assortment of Adidas clothing in the lockers. Each locker has a built-in storage area for the player’s numerous pairs of Adidas shoes. ... One of the benefits of the (locker room) is a shoe room nicknamed ‘Footlocker,’ which houses approximately 2,000 pairs of Adidas Shoes.”

So, by the standards of most college students, athletes have it pretty good.

Should they be paid more by their schools?

Should they be allowed to charge for their autographs? No. That would create another set of problems.

employers and memorabilia agents.

All players are not of equal monetary value.

A Heisman winner is worth more than a thirdstring tight end. What’s a school to do? Make a pay scale? Give raises when backups become starters? That is called professional sports. Perhaps schools could set up trust funds for athletes to keep a share of profits from sales of their likeness. But that might be hard to manage.

The best solution is to end the charade that is “amateur” football.

There is nothing amateur about Football Bowl Subdivision football. It is a free farm system for the NFL. Junior tennis players and high school baseball prospects skip college altogether, and basketball phenoms and football players should have the same opportunity. If you can command five figures for a stack of autographs, you should be Johnny Professional Football.

Eric Hosmer said. “We had runners on base all day. We should have put up a lot more runs.

It’s a tough one to swallow, but we’ve just got to look ahead.

The Royals now trail the Tigers by 7½ games in the American League Central Division. They also fell 5 games behind Tampa Bay for the AL’s final wild-card spot.

Collins, 2-6, served up a leadoff double to Koyie Hill on a fullcount fastball but

should have gotten an out on Christian Yelich’s grounder to Johnson at third base.

The Royals chose to keep their infield deep, which meant Chris Getz, after looking toward the plate, went to first on Donavan Solano’s grounder to second. Hill scored the tying run, and Yelich moved to third.

“There’s no way you can go home with that,” Yost said.

“We’re playing back, conceding one not two in that situation.”

H Brady Continued from B1

the 2008 opener.

Brady was injured midway through practice Wednesday when left tackle Nate Solder was pushed into him by Tampa Bay defensive end Adrian Clayborn.

Brady, entering his 14th NFL season, fell,

rocked backward on the ground and held his left knee.

He went to the sideline then returned for a few more plays before talking with coach Bill Belichick and leaving the field toward the team’s indoor practice facility next to it.
