EMS: 911 Hung up on history call not of

out ordinary

By STEVEN SCHWARTZ steven@iolaregister.com

In a few locations around the square, pedestrians can learn a bit more about what life was like in the past. The Community Involvement Task Force (CITF) took the time to hang these historical signs around the Iola square. This sign in particular shows a crowd gathering for a 1910 performance of the Ringling Brothers Circus. CITF members are working with city crews to hang more signs.

Seeking inspiration through science Roberts starts first year at Iola High

By KAYLA BANZET kayla@iolaregister.com

Science may not be every student’s favorite subject. Caitlin Roberts wants to change that.

“I just want kids to be excited about science,” Roberts said.

Roberts, 22, is a first-year biology teacher at Iola High School. She graduated from Pittsburg State University in May, where she studied in biology.

The Chanute native originally planned to study pharmacy but decided to take a different career path.

“It wasn’t fun anymore, it became stressful,” Roberts said. “So I took a lot of different classes and had a great professor.

“Once I had my first field experience, I fell in love with it.”

Roberts said she wants to make science interesting to her students.

“All of my bio classes are at capacity,” she said. She also teaches anatomy and physiology for upper-level students in the high school. This class is geared more to students who want to go into science after high school.

U.S. bridges crumbling

By ALANA SEMUELS Los Angeles Times

SCHWENKSVILLE, Pa. — Engineers think that three of the bridges closest to Dave Wisler’s home are about ready to collapse.

One, a picturesque one-lane structure built in 1893, became so perilous it was closed last summer, and the county doesn’t have the money to fix it. Another bridge, just down the road, is well-known for the concrete that chips off the bottom as children play in the creek below — it’s currently under repair.

Traffic was diverted to a third bridge nearby, but some

HUMBOLDT — EMS administrators saw “nothing out of the ordinary” following a 911 call Aug. 26 in which a Humboldt man was found incapacitated on his front lawn.

According to the call recording, Sunny Shreeve came upon Lupe Perez laying on his front lawn while she was driving through Humboldt in the afternoon.

She called 911, and an ambulance was dispatched approximately two minutes later.

“The average page time for an ambulance is 90 seconds,” 911 Director Angela Murphy said.

Shreeve described Perez as having labored breathing, and was unresponsive and could not speak. A Humboldt police officer arrived on the scene five minutes after the 911 call, and an Allen County Ambulance arrived on the scene 14 minutes after the call was made.

Murphy said the ambulance stationed in Humboldt was on a transfer call when Shreeve dialed 911, so an ambulance from Iola was sent.

“I don’t think it could’ve been avoidable,” Murphy said of the 14-minute response time. “It’s always unfortunate and it feels like it’s forever, but it’s really

drivers noticed a worrying humming noise as they drove over it, and their windows rattled. Authorities have since found that bridge is too dangerous to drive over too, and don’t know when they’ll be able to reopen it.

To get to a barn that he’s restoring across the river, about 300 yards away, Wisler now has to drive 15 minutes past homes and parks and blinking orange and white construction signs.

“I can’t get there from here,” said Wisler, peering over the small creek that winds through this rural town See BRIDGES | Page A4

WASHINGTON — Some 17.6 million U.S. households had trouble feeding their family members at times last year as “food insecurity” remained at near-record levels for the fifth straight year, according to a government report released Wednesday.

More than one-third of those households — 7 million — suffered from “very low food security,” in which usual eating patterns were disrupted and consumption was reduced because of a lack of money and access to food.

In all, 49 million Americans didn’t know where their next meals would come from at some point in 2012, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported.

While the numbers show a slight improvement over 2011, the differences weren’t statistically significant, the report found. The level of food hardship in the U.S. remained high last year in the aftermath of the recession, in which more than 8 million Americans lost their jobs.

“The fact that 49 million people in this country continue to struggle

to put food on the table is unconscionable,” said the Rev. David Beckmann, the president of Bread for the World, a Washington-based antihunger organization.

Access to food was most problematic among the poor, femaleheaded families, families with children, and blacks and Hispanics, according to the annual USDA report, “Household Food Security in the United States in 2012.”

Food insecurity affected 1 in 5 U.S. households with children, more than one-third of households with children headed by single women and nearly a quarter of households with children headed by single men, the report found.

Nearly 1 million children — about 1.3 percent of the nation’s youngsters — lived in households with very low food security.

The report showed that 42 percent of foodinsecure households — about 7.4 million — received assistance from the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as food stamps.

Although the economy is improving, enrollment in the SNAP

Chart shows trends in low and very low food security, 1998-2012; U.S. map shows level of food insecurity by state; almost 18 million Americans had difficulty putting food on the table in 2012. MCT program continues to hover at near-record levels reached during the recent recession.

As of May, 47.6 million people in 23 million households were receiving food stamps.

That’s roughly 1 in 7 Americans.

Congressional Republicans are pushing to cut the SNAP program by $40 billion as part of a new farm bill.

They say that SNAP, the nation’s largest antihunger program, is too expensive, at roughly $78 billion a year. Republicans also want to require food stamp

applicants to undergo drug tests.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said Wednesday’s report underscored the importance of the SNAP program in keeping food hardship from rising.

“As the recovery continues and families turn to USDA nutrition programs for help to put good food on the table, this is not the time for cuts to the SNAP program that would disqualify millions of Americans and threaten a rise in food insecurity,” Vilsack said in a statement.

But the system’s assets would cover only 56 percent of its long-term commitments.

sion without debating proposed changes in a law requiring new voters to provide proof of U.S. citizenship when they register.

Democratic Sen. Oletha Faust-Goudeau tried Wednesday to add language to a bill on criminal sentencing that would have let new voters sign a sworn statement attesting that they are U.S. citizens.

The Republican-controlled Senate ruled the proposal out of order.

Another Wichita Democrat, House member Jim Ward, had the same result with a similar amendment Tuesday in his chamber.

The registration law took effect in January and is designed to prevent non-citizens from voting.

But the registrations of more than 15,000 legal Kansas residents are on hold because they have yet to provide proper documentation of citizenship, such as a passport or birth certificate.

Kansas briefs Historical society finishes project TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A two-year project to document the records from the Menninger Foundation archives has been completed by the Kansas Historical Society.

The records include the papers of famed Topeka psychiatrists C.F., Roy, Walter, Karl and William Menninger.

They also include manuscripts from Sigmund Freud and Florence Nightingale.

Selected documents from the 2,500-cubic-feet of records are available for viewing on the historical society’s Kansas Memory digital archives.

The Menningers founded their Topeka mental health clinic in 1925, growing to international fame for its hospital and training programs.

The Menninger Clinic campus closed and relocated in 2003 to Houston to become part of the Baylor College of Medicine.

Pension system’s funding gap jumps to $10.2B TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Kansas public pension system says it had robust investment gains last year but still saw its long-term funding gap grow to $10.2 billion.

The Topeka CapitalJournal reports the gap widened because the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System was still booking deferred losses from the 2008 collapse of financial markets.

A Kansas House committee reviewed the figures Wednesday.

The gap represents the difference between anticipated revenues and promised benefits through 2033. The figure for the end of 2011 was about $9.2 billion.

KPERS reported earning 14.5 percent on its investments last year. Also, legislators enacted laws in 2011 and 2012 to overhaul the pension system to boost its long-term financial health.

Google stands by scanning emails SAN JOSE, Calif.

(AP) — Google’s attorneys say their longrunning practice of electronically scanning the contents of people’s Gmail accounts to help sell ads is legal, and are asking a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit that seeks to stop the practice.

In court records filed in advance of a federal hearing scheduled for today in San Jose, Google argues that “all users of email must necessarily expect that their emails will be subject to automated processing.”

The class action lawsuit, filed in May, says Google “unlawfully opens up, reads, and

acquires the content of people’s private email messages” in violation of California’s privacy

terms.

Google has repeatedly described how it targets its advertising based on

laws and federal wiretapping statutes. The lawsuit notes that the company even scans messages sent to any of the 425 million active Gmail users from nonGmail users who never agreed to the company’s

words that show up in Gmail messages. For example, the company says if someone has received a lot of messages about photography or cameras then it might display an advertisement from a local camera store. Google

says the process is fully automated, “and no humans read your email...”

“This case involves Plaintiffs’ effort to criminalize ordinary business practices that have been part of Google’s free Gmail service since it was introduced nearly a decade ago,” argue company attorneys in their motion to dismiss the case.

Privacy advocates have long questioned the practice.

Fanaticism a must for pro athletes Contrary to 30 years ago, tennis champions are getting older.

Today, five thirty-somethings are in the women’s quarterfinals of the U.S. Open, being playing in Flushing, N.Y. For the men’s division, all the semifinalists are 26 and older, with two in their thirties.

It wasn’t so long ago — was it? — that age barriers were being broken in the other direction. Tracy Austin was 16 when she won the U.S. Open in 1979. On the men’s side, Pete Sampras was 19 when he took the title in 1990. All through the ’80s and ’90s the champions were little more than kids. Serena and Venus Williams, Michael Chang, John McEnroe, Mary Jo Fernandez, Martina Hingis, Stefi Graf, Andre Agassi and Martina Navratilova — were all in their teens when under the glare of the spotlight.

Fitness experts say the extreme demands of today’s professional tennis competition require a more mature physique than that of a teenager as well as a tougher mental attitude that also comes with maturity.

That peak window, however, can shut quickly.

Roger Federer, who for years has seemed to be in a class of his own, now at 32 is finding himself not so much of a threat.

“I’ll just have to work harder,” he said in a postmatch interview after losing in straight sets Sunday.

Which means a full day’s work doing drills that build

strength, agility, cardiovascular and, oh yes, tennis techniques. Most tennis players today — men and women — are equipped to compete in weightlifting as well as track and field, they are so physically fit.

SWIMMER Diana Nyad recently completed an epic swim from Cuba to Florida at age 64. She swam 110 miles over 48 hours.

It was her fifth attempt, beginning at age 28. She had trained for this specific event over the last four years.

In a post-swim interview Nyad had three messages: Don’t give up on your dreams; don’t believe you are ever too old to pursue those dreams; and most endeavors, even a solitary swim like hers, require support from others.

THE ATHLETES mentioned here are extreme examples of their sports.

They also show the amazing dedication required to excel in their pursuits — and to keep at it.

They are not exactly good role models because of the fanaticism their success demands leaving little room for normalcy.

Most of us are happy if we can still fit into that Army uniform or wedding gown from our more youthful days. Not a bad measure to go by.

A fraction of a professional athlete’s intensity and dedication is all the rest of us need for a healthy lifestyle.

Game, set, match.

50 Years Ago Week of Sept. 1, 1963

Major problems confronting Allen County Hospital and recommendations for modifications of the physical plant to meet these problems were discussed last night at a meeting of the Allen County Health Facilities Planning Council with Russell A. Jones of Seitz, Jones and Gillam, architects and engineers of Ellsworth. Jones reported on a survey his firm had made of the hospital’s physical plant. The hospital board also attended the meeting to hear the report. *****

Celebrating the 62nd anniversary this week of the opening of Globe Clothing Store in Iola, Louis Schlanger, who founded the store in 1901 at the age of 19, well remembers the gas boom days of Iola’s early history. At that time there were no electric lights in Iola, no paved streets and no sewage system, but some 4,000 more people than there are today.

The store’s two employees, Clark Huber and Eddie Lewman, have been on staff for more than 40 years. Mr. Schlanger’s son, Louis Joseph Schlanger, has managed the store for the past 18 years.

Kansas restricts food stamps Work over welfare

By ROXANA HEGEMAN The Associated Press

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A federal waiver that allowed about 20,000 unemployed Kansas residents to receive food assistance will be allowed to expire at the end of the month, state officials announced Wednesday, saying they wanted to encourage work over welfare dependency.

The Kansas Department for Children and Families said able-bodied adults with no dependents would need to work no less than 20 hours per week to qualify for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as SNAP or food stamps.

The work requirement to receive food stamps was first implemented in 1996 as part of welfare reform. But the 2009 stimulus bill allowed all states to waive the work requirements for able-bodied adults with no children. Since then, states have been allowed to keep using the waiver as long as they meet certain criteria.

Kansas no longer meets the criteria because of its low unemployment rate, but the state was offered the chance to use an earlier higher unemployment rate to continue the waiver. Kansas rejected that offer, opting instead to let the waiver expire on Sept. 30.

That means that come Oct. 1, adults now getting benefits will have three months to either find work or enroll in a federally approved job training program in order to keep getting food stamps. Adults who lose their jobs after that date will be covered by the 1996 law, which makes them eligible for food stamps for three months out of every

three years.

Officials at the Department for Children and Families said the timing of their announcement was tied to a federal deadline for states to notify the U.S. Department of Agriculture whether they’ll continue with the waiver.

All states at one time used the waiver. Oklahoma and Wisconsin also plan to let

“It is absurd that once again our state is choosing to promote this right-wing kind of anti-poor, anti-working class ideology in a way that turns down resources that benefit Kansans and cost no extra expense to the state,” said Goseland, who works with lowincome residents on issues including wage disputes, voting rights and immigration.

Come Oct. 1, adults now getting benefits will have three months to either find work or enroll in a federally approved job training program in order to keep getting food stamps.

their waivers expire this month. Delaware, New Hampshire, Vermont, Wyoming and Utah had previously ended the waiver.

Kansas officials noted the state had the same policy before the 2009 federal stimulus program and said there’s widespread support for work requirements for able-bodied adults. They also stressed that the change applies only to adults who don’t have children.

“We hold people back when we say, ‘No, you need this money. You can’t do it on your own,’” DCF Secretary Phyllis Gilmore said during a news conference. “We’re saying, ‘Yes you can,’ and ‘We’re here to walk beside you, and we’re here to help you.’”

The 20,000 adults affected by the change receive an average of $126 a month in SNAP benefits.

Gilmore noted that the funds for SNAP come from “tax dollars. It is not free money.”

But Louis Goseland, a community organizer with Sunflower Community Action in Wichita, said the state was “shamelessly” doing away with a needed benefit.

The Kansas Center for Economic Growth, a nonprofit that works on state policy issues, noted the state’s unemployment rate has increased throughout this year, and that one in seven Kansas households struggles against hunger because it can’t meet basic food needs.

“Thousands of Kansans are struggling to find a way back into the workforce,” the group said in a statement. “Cutting off supports such as SNAP only makes it more difficult for them to get back on their feet at a time when the jobs outlook does not support a policy shift such as this.”

Senate Ways and Means Committee Chairman Ty Masterson, an Andover Republican, endorsed the policy change.

“I’m supportive of ablebodied people working to get help,” Masterson said.

“I would see that as a good change.”

But House Minority Leader Paul Davis issued a statement saying the decision will make it harder for some Kansans to put food on the table.

Associated Press writer John Hanna contributed to this report from Topeka.

Case managers play essential role in care of the disabled Most everyone has heard the term case management, but most people are not aware of what the responsibilities of a case manager are. There is a vague perception that they “help people get medical care” or “get people food stamps.”

Both are correct, but there are many other facets of a case manager’s position. From the perspective of Tri-Valley Developmental Services, case management is one of the most important positions within the agency.

First and foremost, the case manager is an advocate for the person with an intellectual or developmental disability.

In many instances, a person with such disabilities cannot advocate for themselves.

Court-appointed guardians

Tim Cunningham Tri-Valley Developmental Services are helpful, but with everchanging regulations, it is difficult for guardians to keep abreast of what is occurring.

With the state’s transition to a Medicaid program run by private managed-care companies (KanCare), a case manager becomes even more important to help clients navigate the bureaucratic maze.

In addition to advocacy, the case manager is responsible for developing a care plan centered on a client’s needs.

This plan is based on informa-

tion collected from multiple sources including the person served, their family, guardian, staff, community members, nursing, etc. It develops wraparound services and creates goals that will improve the quality of life for the person.

The third responsibility of a case manager is to make referrals for necessary services including medical, social, educational, or other. If someone is interested in finding employment, the case manager may contact vocational rehabilitation or an agency that provides supported employment. If the person is interested in furthering their education, the case manager may contact a local community college to see what courses are available.

Case managers serve as advocates for the disabled, helping them get the services they need.

The final responsibility of a case manager is to ensure the person is receiving the services they require, and if not, make necessary adjustments.

Beyond these four mandatory roles, the case manager is often the person a disabled person can go to when they are having problems as well as helping with technology, transportation, housing, and senior services, to name only a few.

Case managers have a keen interest in the welfare and quality of life for people with

disabilities. It is their role to help others and to empower them to make decisions on their own or assist them in that endeavor. It is such an important position that the person, their family and the agencies that provide services to the individual would be lost without the help of case managers. Case managers are a win-win for everyone involved.

Cunningham is executive director of Tri-Valley Developmental Services.

Sun boosts conventional power plants Roberts: Raising

By SANDI DOUGHTON The Seattle Times

RICHLAND, Wash. — Solar power remains a hard sell in the United States, but researchers in Washington have developed a way to harness the heat of the sun to boost the efficiency of conventional power plants.

The new technology allows a natural gasfired plant to generate 25 percent more electricity from the same amount of fuel. And it also reduces greenhouse-gas emissions, says Robert Wegeng, the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) engineer who’s leading the project.

Wegeng and his colleagues are testing the system this summer on the PNNL campus near the Columbia River, where it’s not uncommon for the blistering sun to drive temperatures into triple digits.

On a morning when

the high was forecast to hit 100 degrees, team members gathered around their apparatus to explain how it operates. “It will work best in a dry, sunny environment,� Wegeng said. “In Eastern Washington our sun is pretty good.�

The flashiest part of the device is a mirrored, parabolic dish that concentrates the sun’s rays onto the business end of the operation: a sleek pod about 4 feet long crammed with wiring and machinery.

When the sun is shining, temperatures inside the pod approach 1,500 degrees — hot enough, with an assist from a catalyst, to blast apart the chemical bonds in a mixture of natural gas and water.

The result is another fuel, called syngas, which burns better and releases more energy than natural gas.

is an up and coming test. “We are using an older version of the textbook and we have the new digital version,� she said. “It’s my goal to work with the digital textbooks.�

Roberts also mentioned that there are many science apps for iPad devices that she likes to use.

is, you can improve the energy value.�

But as with all energy technologies, the system’s commercial fate will hinge on cost and practicality, which have yet to be demonstrated. “It’s a development effort, and it’s a stretch to get there,� Wegeng said.

Montes. Montes’ work will be displayed in the Mary L. Martin Art Gallery on Friday. A reception for the artist will be at 6 p.m. and West’s series will follow in the recital hall. Montes’ work is created on cardboard.

West has worn many hats in his career. He is the former mayor of Garden City, has served on the city council for 12 years and is a playwright. He also has a patent for Slice Cream, which is a single serving of ice cream cut

Perez passed away Aug. 27 at Via Christi St. Francis Hospital in Wichita.

Allen County Interim EMS Director Michael Burnett said it is not feasible to send an ambulance from Iola to Humboldt when there is an ambulance on transfer in Humboldt. He said the majority of calls come from Iola, and removal of an ambulance from the city would actually increase the risk to Al-

len County citizens.

The 14-minute response time was not unacceptable and EMS responded quickly to the situation, he said.

Allen County EMS services have three ambulances and one backup unit, the Iola Fire Department has two. Murphy said ambulances are stationed around the county, and call responses are based on whichever unit is closest at the time. In the situation on Aug. 26, the closest ambulance was in Iola.

Bridges: U.S. repair funds low as bridges fall into disrepair Continued from A1

just outside Philadelphia.

America’s roads and bridges have been eroding for decades, but the deeper they fall into disrepair, the less money there is to fix them.

First, the recession crippled local budgets, cutting the money available for transportation projects. As states began to recover, the federal government adopted its own mandatory budget cuts via sequestration. Then last month, the federal legislation that annually funds transportation projects across the country hit a roadblock of Republican opposition that throttled multibilliondollar transportation bills in the House and Senate.

The new political deadlock in Washington, D.C., comes as the Federal Highway Administration estimates that bridge and road repair needs have escalated to $20.5 billion a year.

Every day, U.S. commuters are taking more than 200 million trips across deficient bridges, according to a variety of analyses, and at least 8,000 bridges across the country are both “structurally deficient� and “fracture critical� — engineering terms for bridges that could fail if even a single component breaks. “These bridges will all eventually fall down,� said Barry LePatner, a construction attorney who has documented

bridge deficiencies in all 50 states.

Officials from several states, including Pennsylvania, have warned that without substantial new federal funding of the kind recently roadblocked in Congress, they may be forced to close many of their deficient bridges, potentially preventing cars, emergency vehicles and school buses from getting to entire neighborhoods. Some states are looking for their own ways to raise money.

Eight states raised their gas taxes last month, including Wyoming, which has a Republican-dominated legislature.

In California, the place that pioneered a car-friendly lifestyle, thousands of bridges built decades ago are in need of repair. Bridges last about 50 years, and in California, most average around 44 years, with more than 8,000 bridges more than half a century old. In Los Angeles County alone, 16 bridges are in the highest-risk category, aging and subject to collapse with the failure of a single component. They include a part of the 10 Freeway over the Los Angeles River, a section of Almansor Street over the same freeway and a segment of Ocean Boulevard in Long Beach.

Equally threatened is a portion of Tustin Avenue that takes about 221,000 vehicles a day over the 91 Freeway in Anaheim.

California and other states with growing populations also face the new infrastructure demands that come with the influx of more cars and trains. Analysts say the state needs to spend $750 billion on infrastructure projects in the next 10 years to remain

with transit options.

The potential repercussions of ignoring the funding shortage are huge, as recent bridge collapses in Minnesota and Washington state have shown. In 2007, Minnesota’s fourthbusiest bridge, which spanned the Mississippi

competitive.

Some of the most important bridge links in the country are now threatened by age. The longest bridge in New York, the Tappan Zee Bridge over the Hudson River, 25 miles north of Manhattan and a crucial link for the interstate highway system in the New York metropolitan area, is potentially subject to catastrophic failure, engineers say. Yet replacing it will cost at least $5.2 billion — and as much as $16 billion

River, collapsed, killing 13. Engineers found that additional weight placed on the bridge from construction had exacerbated a design flaw. And earlier this year in Washington, days after the state’s governor pleaded for a transportation tax increase, a bridge on Interstate 5 plunged into the Skagit River after being hit by a truck. “It is only a matter of time,� said LePatner, whose website, SaveOurBridges.com, maps these 8,000 deficient bridges,

cracks in the concrete and making the bridge shudder.

A 2010 inspection found that this bridge was in both “serious� and “poor� condition, scoring only 3 out of 9 for its substructure and 4 out of 9 for its deck. The inspection found the bridge was structurally deficient and recommended it be repaired. About 20,000 cars go over the bridge every day.

But like many cities throughout the country, Philadelphia doesn’t have the money to repair every bridge that needs to be fixed. “The total funding stream, in reality, is not keeping up with demands,� said David Perri, Philadelphia’s acting streets commissioner. “Our backlog of bridge needs is approximately $300 million, and that’s a sum of money no local municipality can afford on its own.�

including two of those recently closed near Wisler’s home. “Because these bridges are fragile and the public is unsafe driving over them.�

The state with the biggest backlog of eroding bridges is Pennsylvania, where an estimated 1 in 4 bridges is deemed structurally deficient by engineering standards. It’s a fact that’s evident to Terrell Davis, 31, a North Philadelphia resident who walks every day across a bridge on Erie Avenue that appears to be on the brink of collapse. Davis can peek through holes in the rusting metal structure to see a swamp hundreds of feet below. Parts of the beams are so rusted that they’ve become detached from the bridge and hang in open air. “All it needs is something too heavy to go across here and this whole thing will collapse,� Davis said as a city bus sped past, bumping over the

Youth league plans weekend jamboree

By RICHARD LUKEN richard@iolaregister.com

More than 200 area youngsters in grades 3-6 will strap on shoulder pads, don their helmets and get reacquainted with football at its most elementary levels.

The Allen County Youth Tackle Football League gets underway with its annual football jamboree Saturday at Riverside Park.

There, every player from each of the 12 teams — seven in grades 5-6 and five in grades 3-4 — will get to scrimmage

against each of the other teams.

The scrimmages kick off at 9 a.m., although the fun begins a bit earlier.

Volunteers will sell biscuits and gravy starting at about 8:30 at the park as a fundraiser to benefit the league. Mean-

while, players will be weighed in and set up for team photos prior to the first game.

The games will run until about 3:15.

Dan Oswald of Sonic DriveIn has donated hot dogs and hamburgers for lunches, which will be served starting

at about 10:30 a.m. Meals will be provided free of charge to every player and coach involved. Proceeds from the lunch sales also will go back into helping pay league expenses, said Josh Oberley, See JAMBOREE | Page B3

ACC SOCCER SWEEPS Allen men roll past Hesston, 5-0

By RICHARD LUKEN richard@iolaregister.com

Iola High’s Jacob Rhoads is one of the key players in the Mustangs’ 2013 rushing attack. Iola opens the season Friday at Cherryvale. REGISTER/RICHARD LUKEN

Sharing the wealth has become an early theme for Allen Community College’s soccer team.

The Red Devils have scored 11 goals on the young 2013 soccer season, including a whopping five Wednesday afternoon.

A different player has scored all 11 goals.

“That’s nice to see,” Allen head coach Doug Desmarteau said, after the Red Devils’ 5-0 win over visiting Hesston.

The victory, in ACC’s home opener, improves Allen’s record to 2-1.

“This was a good win for us,” Desmarteau said. “We seemed a little frustrated in the first half, and we lost our composure for about five minutes.”

Even so, the Red Devils still controlled the tempo throughout against the visiting Larks, narrowly missing in multiple scoring opportunities over the first seven minutes.

Corey Hudson started the fun by punching in a header off a corner kick past the

Allen Community College goalkeeper Chase Tonkin corrals a save Wednesday in the Red Devils’ 5-0 win over Hesston Wednesday.

The 2-0 halftime lead quickly became 3-0 when Oscar Marrufo blasted in a penalty kick early in the second period.

Mustangs kick off season at Cherryvale

By RICHARD LUKEN richard@iolaregister.com

After two weeks of “pounding on each other” in practice, Iola High’s Mustangs are champing at the bit to line up against somebody else on the football field.

Iola gets its chance Friday evening, when the defending Pioneer League champions open the 2013 season at Cherryvale.

“The kids are excited about it,” Iola head coach Doug Kerr said. “Getting 10 new kids out for football who didn’t play last year tells me there’s some excitement around school for this team.”

Pregame Preview A repeat of the game conditions from a year ago is unlikely, played in a driving rainstorm. Iola took advantage, forcing 12 Cherryvale fumbles in a 22-0 win. Forecasts for Friday are for hot, dry conditions.

Weather aside, Kerr isn’t sure how much stock can be taken from last year’s matchup, anyway.

Lady Red Devils nab win INDEPENDENCE — Like it did a week earlier in their season opener, Allen Community College’s Red Devil volleyball squad started off like gangbusters.

Unlike a week ago, in a straight set loss to Butler, Allen was able to maintain its strong play throughout.

The resulting 25-13, 25-23, 25-16 victory evens the Red Devils’ record at 1-1 on the young season.

“It was a great conference win for Allen and provided us with a win that might hold weight later in the sea-

son for regional rankings,” ACC head coach Jessica Peters said.

Allen’s quick start was keyed by the squad’s blocking front row and a pair of service runs by defensive specialist Halley Scott. Allen reeled off seven straight points in her first serve, then eight more her second time around.

The Red Devils blitzed their way to a 24-10 lead. A series of errors allowed Independence to reel off three See VOLLEYBALL | Page B3

Red Devil women shut out Larks

By RICHARD LUKEN richard@iolaregister.com

Patience was more than virtuous for Allen Community College’s women Wednesday afternoon.

It was down right victorious.

After impatience cost the Red Devils on several scoring opportunities in the first half

of their soccer home opener against Hesston, Allen righted its ship after intermission with some familiar names leading the way.

Freshman Lexi Godlove scored off an assist from teammate Kyleigh Rowe in the 66th minute, “which really seemed to settle things down for us,” Red Devil head coach Jeremy McGinnis said.

Allen sealed the win about 10 minutes later, when Carleigh Konrade scored from point-blank range to give the Red Devils the 2-0 victory.

The win pushes Allen’s record to 2-1 on the season, already equaling the Red Devils’ victory output from a year ago.

event organizer.

“We really just want to see the stands filled,” Oberley said.

“They’re going to see a lot of kids play a lot of football that day.”

The jamboree host rotates between communities that have teams in both age levels — Iola, Humboldt, Mound City and Garnett. “It’s up to us to take advantage of this and get a big turnout,” Oberley said.

Admission to the jamboree is free of charge. Additional volunteers to help serve meals or oversee Saturday’s activities are welcome. Call Oberley at 365-9742 for more information.

The league’s regular season kicks off Tuesday evening, with

at least one game being hosted by Iola every Tuesday after that through Oct. 22, with one exception (Sept.

24).

A special evening of activities will be at Riverside Park on Oct. 8, dubbed as “Pink Night.”

Duane’s Flowers will provide pink carnations for players to hand out that night to anybody they know who has been affected by cancer — relatives, neighbors or other loved ones. In addition, the Allen County Youth League cheerleaders will give a special presentation.

The thirdand fourth-grade leagues run through Oct. 8.

The fifth- and sixthgrade leagues run through Oct. 22.

Volleyball: Victory straight points before Allen closed out the set.

Things didn’t go as smoothly in the second set.

“This was the match that Allen chose to play at the level of our opponent,” Peters said. “We slowed down altogether, offensively and defensively. We allowed balls to fall that we could have gotten to, and we looked sloppy.”

Even though Allen eked out a 25-23 win in the second set, Peters issued a challenge to her players.

“Although we can walk away from a set like this early in our season, we must take this challenge home and improve upon it,” Peters said, “which we did.”

Allen found its footing again in the third set, particularly along the

front line.

“We doubled our kills in the third set, along with finding our blocks again. Defense remained the strength again for us tonight, not letting much fall without being right there with it, and hustling after everything.”

Sidney Keith led the way with seven kills and 13 digs, while scoring 10.5 points. Danielle Goodman and Lizzy Huey added four kills each. Adriee Munoz had 13 set assists; Jessi Sennett nine. Scott wound up with five ace serves and 11 digs to go with five points. Huey scored six points.

Allen is in Highland Friday and Saturday for a tournament before returning to Iola Wednesday for the squad’s home opener against Highland.

“Both have played quite a bit since they were sophomores,” Hester said. “We can look to them for their leadership on offense and defense.”

IOLA, TOO, may focus more on the running game, thanks to a stable of talented running backs led by seniors Jacob Rhoads and John Whitworth.

Rhoads will get the

start, “although you’ll probably see six or seven guys carry the ball,” Kerr said. “A lot of these kids play defense, too, and we don’t want to wear them out, so we’re going to rotate guys in and out quite a bit.”

With temperatures forecast in the low 90s Friday, Kerr has preached hydration in practice.

“Hydration isn’t something you can just focus

on during the game,” he said. “You have to stay hydrated in practice, at school during the day, all the time. The kids have been consuming large amounts of water all through practice.”

THE KEY for Cherryvale will be to match up against Iola’s physical play, Hester said.

“We were only down 2-0 at halftime against those guys last year, but they wore us down in the second half,” he said.

“We lost a couple of kids to injuries in that game, who played both ways.

We’re as healthy now as we’ve been in a while.”

Cherryvale also returns 11 players who started at one point or another on offense from 2012, and seven starting defenders.

Iola’s key will be to limit mistakes, Kerr said.

“The biggest thing for us is to not get too worked up in a game that’s not a league or a district game for us,” Kerr said. “We’d like to be 1-0, but we also need to stay focused. If we take care of things we can control and not try to do too much, we’ll be fine.”

Soccer: ACC men roll past Hesston Continued from B1

Xzavier Torres and Dallas Fiszel added goals in the second half.

“Getting goals from this many players is big for us,” Desmarteau said. “When you get offense from that many players, it makes it much

more difficult for opposing defenses. If all of your production comes from one or two players, it makes it easier for the defense to shut you down.”

Allen’s defense was stifling, rarely allowing Hesston possession past

midfield. The Larks’ had one true scoring opportunity on a shot that narrowly missed the net in the game’s waning moments.

Allen: Red Devil women win Continued from B1

The key, McGinnis said, was patience.

“The girls got a little frustrated in the first half, and I probably did, too,” McGinnis said.

“We played everything to their back line, but we didn’t do a good job of playing the ball through channels. We could get it to their back line, but we couldn’t get it through.”

Not so coincidentally, Allen’s early scoring opportunities dried up in the first half when freshman outfielder Kalynn Gallarde exited with a head injury midway through the period.

She returned about midway through the second half, with Allen scuffling on offense.

“Kalynn does a great job of taking her time and seeing what we need to do with the ball, and getting it there,” McGinnis said.

Minutes after her return, Allen’s offense began to click. Rowe fed Godlove with a nifty pass that Godlove punched in past a diving Hesston goalkeeper.

The Red Devil defense remained stout from there, preventing Hesston from getting any sort of scoring opportunities in the second half, particularly after Konrade’s shot found the net with

just over 15 minutes remaining.

“Our back line did a tremendous job in earning our first shutout of the season,” McGinnis said, pointing out the efforts of forward Kaya Pelen, “who came up big

for us in the last 15 minutes in helping control the game. And Keelie (Arbuckle) was solid in goal again.”

The Red Devils are at Kansas City, Kan., Saturday and at Maple Woods next Thursday.

player early in the contest.

Dorian Fox also saw his play limited because of an apparent leg injury.

“They’ll be fine,” Desmarteau said. “We were able to rest them with our lead. We were able to try out some different options today and get other guys some playing time.”

Fox, Marrufo and Preston Derige had assists for the Red Devils.

Allen travels to Kansas City, Kan., on Saturday.

Ervin Santana was yanked early.

Santana failed to make it through the fourth and was charged with four runs, seven hits and three walks in 3 1-3 innings, his briefest outing of the year.

It was a detrimental loss for the Royals’ playoffs hopes, dropping them 5½ games behind in the wild card standings with only 23 games left.

Lucas Luetge (1-2) worked two perfect innings to earn the victory.

Danny Farquhar worked a perfect ninth for his 12th save in 15 opportunities.

scrimmage, Kerr noted the Chargers have largely eschewed the spread offense they deployed in 2012.

“It looks like they’re going with a brand new system,” he said.

“They’ve switched to a flex-bone offense,” with an added emphasis on option running instead.

“That’s a challenge because we felt pretty good against the spread,” Kerr said. “They’ll probably be a little bigger than we are on the line, but we should match up well with them athletically.”

Cherryvale head coach Harry Hester said the Chargers changed offensive philosophies not long after playing Iola last fall.

“I’ve always been a spread coach, but in order to be successful at our level, you have to go with your strength,” Hester said.

Cherryvale’s strength this fall lies in its offensive backfield.

Seniors Triston Thornton and Cody Hockett — a former offensive lineman — will key Cherryvale’s rushing attack.

the Seattle Mariners to a 6-4 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday night.

Morales hit his 18th home run to straight away center on a 1-2 pitch from Crow (7-5) with Franklin Gutierrez, who had walked, aboard.

The Royals used eight pitchers, tying a club record for a nineinning game. The last time the Royals used eight pitchers in a nine-inning game was Sept. 7, 1975.
