Businesses can shop the SHOP By SUSAN LYNN susan@iolaregister.com

Editor’s note: This is the third in a series regarding the Affordable Care Act. Beginning Tuesday small business owners can see if purchasing insurance through the state’s insurance program is a better deal than buying it through a private company. The Small Business Health Options Programs provide side-by-side comparisons of plans, benefits, costs and quality between one’s current plans and those available on the Marketplace. Small businesses are defined as those with 50 or fewer full-time employees. Enrollment in the Exchanges qualifies employers to receive rebates up to 50 percent of premium costs beginWeisgrau ning in 2014. For businesses with fewer than 25 employees, tax credits of up to 35 percent will also be made available to help pay for a company’s share of premiums for those enrolled in the group plans. To qualify, a business must pay at least 50 percent of the premiums for his employees and wages must be $50,000 and below. This benefit has been available ever since the Affordable Care Act was passed in 2010, and thus can be applied retroactively if businesses have not taken advantage of it thus far. The higher tax credits are available only to businesses that participate in the Exchanges. Businesses with 25-50 employees aren’t eligible for the additional tax credits.

In quite a pickle Garver stumbles on new enterprise with sport on rise

Steve Garver must have uttered the word “unbelievable” four or five times during an interview with The Register Wednesday afternoon. The thing that had him so flabbergasted? An on-the-rise sport halfway between tennis and ping-pong called pickleball — and it has turned out to be Garver’s most substantial business venture yet. Through a series of events out of left-field, he has begun manufacturing his own pickleball paddles and distributing them across the United States. “Never in my wildest dreams did I think I could make pickleball paddles,” Garver said while sitting in his office on East Street. His business ventures have taken many forms — computer sales, screen printing, decals, stickers and trophies. While he still carries some of those products in his store, they have taken a backseat to his newest company, Pickle Paddle. “It’s crazy, I’ve been selling thousands of these things,” he said. See PICKLEBALL | Page A7

Direct from Paris: Chaplin historian By KAYLA BANZET kayla@iolaregister.com

The memory lives on Fans gathered at the Buster Keaton Museum in Piqua Friday morning to tour the area where the silent screen star was born in 1895. This weekend marks the 21st Annual Buster Keaton Celebration. Attendees from across the country will gather at the event through this evening. All events are free to the public. REGISTER/STEVEN SCHWARTZ

Quote of the day Vol. 115, No.236

The Buster Keaton Celebration draws in fans from all over the world. This year Kate Guyonvarch, Chaplin office director, is traveling from Paris to speak at the event. Guyonvarch grew up in England but has lived in Paris for nearly 30 years. “I started working for the Chaplin office more than 30 years ago as a bilingual secretary,” she said. “I was not a Chaplin fan but have become one over the years. My boss retired in the early 1990s and I have been managing director of the office ever since.” She also manages use of the Charlie Chaplin image and rights for merchandising purposes on behalf of Bubbles Inc., S.A. Some Keaton and Chaplin fans say you have to choose one over the other to have a favorite silent screen star. Guy-

onvarch doesn’t agree. “I decided to attend the festival because they very kindly invited me and I think it is a good opportunity to show that one can like both Keaton and Chaplin,” Guyonvarch said. “Many people say that is not possible, you have to be in one camp or the other but this invitation is proof that that is not the case.” She will present at 1:20 p.m today at the Bowlus Fine Arts Center. The presentation is titled, “Limelight: The Chaplin Archives.” Limelight was released in 1952 and features both Keaton and Chaplin. It is a comedy-drama film written, directed by and starring Chaplin “I will be showing some photographs and quoting from some texts that we have found in the archives that possibly never have been seen before,” Guyonvarch said. All activities are free and open to the public.

Cox comes from theatrical family By SUSAN LYNN editorial@iolaregister.com

patio at Buster and wife Eleanor’s home in Wo o d l a n d Hills, CaTalmadge Cox lif. “A miniature train would come around the corner bearing hot dogs and watermelon,” Cox said. Cox grew up in Santa Monica, “just 20 minutes from my grandfather’s. Of course today, that would be a 90-minute drive.” Buster was married to Cox’s grandmother, Natalie Talmadge. She was one of the three Talmadge sisters, Norma, Constance and Natalie, all stars of the silver screen. Norma Talmadge was the most famous of the three and hit her peak during the Roaring Twenties. Like Buster,

As a youth, Melissa Talmadge Cox never knew her grandfather, Buster Keaton, was famous. Cox, 64, grew up in the 1950s when television was a new phenomenon and certainly didn’t find fancy with silent films. All she knew about were his bit parts in the films “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World,” “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum” and “Around the World in 80 Days.” It wasn’t until Cox was a college student that she first saw her grandfather as a silent screen star. “I was dumbstruck,” she said. “He was so good — and funny. And in Europe, he was a real movie star.” Cox recalled her family’s tradition of having Sunday lunch on the

once the talkies began, her star status quickly dimmed. Natalie was the more quiet of the three, and once married was happy to retire from the film industry. She and Buster divorced in 1944. She never remarried, “unlike my g reataunts, w h o b e tween them were marr i e d seven Norma Talmadge times,” Cox said. After the divorce Natalie took back her maiden name, Talmadge, and also changed the last names of her two sons to Talmadge. “Really, I was born a Keaton,” Cox said.

COX TOOK over the role as archivist for Buster’s career when his second wife, Eleanor, died in 1999. Ever since 2000 she has worked to promote his career in the silent films at various events across the country and abroad. Cox is a familiar face at the Iola celebration. She and her mother, Barbara, 88, spoke at last year’s event about the Keaton family. “We ran out of time,” Cox said, “And were surprised how people were as interested in the Talmadge family as they were in the Keatons. Now we’ll have a chance to flesh that out more.” Cox and her mother will take the stage at the Bowlus Fine Arts Center at around 2 o’clock Saturday afternoon. All performances, discussions and film showings are free to the public.

ROTARY

Garden can be out back door Containers keep plants in order ByBOB JOHNSONbob@iolaregister.com

Folks who don’t have room near their homes for conventional vegetable, herb or flower gardens still can enjoy any or all three, Krista Harding, with the Southwind Extension District, told Iola Rotarians Thursday. The alternative is a container garden. Containers, in any size, may be adapted to small spaces and are mobile and less strenuous in their care, Harding, a horticulturist for 14 years since graduating from Kansas State University, said. While stationed in Erie, Harding is at the Allen County office on Tuesdays during gardening season and responds to questions sent her way on other days of the week. “A container can be anything that holds soil and will drain,” she said, as an old guitar crammed with soil and sporting flowers in a supporting video showed. “They can be plastic, clay or wood, and some get pretty creative.” Since it is important to have a good growing mix in a confined area, Harding recommended potting soil or a com-

bination of soil, peat moss and perlite, a derivative of obsidian that has low water retention and helps prevent soil compaction. Drain holes are important because frequent watering is recommended, Harding said, with application of just enough for water to start to drain from the container. Also, wind dries containers quickly, which begs attention to watering. Most anything that may be grown in a garden plot will flourish in a container, and as with traditional gardening attention to fertilizer is a must. Also, location is a factor, depending on what is being grown; some plants need more sunlight than others. Containers have visual advantages when used for flowers. Harding said a tall focal point should be surrounded by filler material with cascading leaves or blooms. Color schemes also are a consideration. While most vegetables will grow well in containers, there are some that are bred for small spaces. A cage or trellis system should be attached to containers for climbing varieties. Containers also are a good choice for herbs, planted by themselves or with vegetables.

Donna Houser gave a program on hoboes and their culture at the Unity club meeting on Monday. It was the annual fall luncheon at the Presbyterian Church. Hostesses were Ellie Wilbur, Doris Stranghoner, Joann Maxwell, Ellen Thompson, Helen Ambler, Rosemary Riley and Shirley Ashford.

Eighteen members and one guest, Jolene Reeh, attended. The history of the hobo started right after the Civil War when many soldiers on the East Coast were without jobs, but loved adventure. They hopped the newly placed rails from the East to the West. With many skills they found a demand for la-

bor in farming, mining and forests in the West. Changes in mechanization caused the employment opportunities to decrease, as it has now with the computer age. Many factors caused the demise of the hoboes. The next meeting will be Oct. 14 at 1 p.m. at the home of Helen Ambler.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Health no longer the ‘black spot’ in getting insurance A well-to-do couple in Pretoria, South Africa, recently spent one month living in the slums on the outside of town. As reported in the New York Times, the young couple, Julian and Ena Hewitt, moved into a 100-squarefoot shack with no running water or electricity. Called an experiment of “radical empathy,” the couple learned to live on $10 a day. With them were their two children, ages 4 and 2. Needless to say, they came away with a life lesson on the difference between the haves and the have-nots, as well as determined to devote at least a part of their lives to bridge the gap. The story came to mind while researching the Affordable Care Act and realizing its vast ramifications. For the first time in U.S. history, every citizen will have a better shot at having health insurance. Most people reading this newspaper don’t know what it’s like to be on the other side of the tracks. For those with full-time employment, chances are their jobs come with health insurance. If retired, Medicare picks up the bulk of the tab. But it doesn’t take much imagination — or a daring experiment like the South African couple — to know what it would be like to be denied the perks of prosperity. After a tumble down a flight of stairs in early June, I experienced chronic back pain and internal bleeding for the rest of the summer. My back still seizes up for unknown reasons. A slew of tests confirmed all is good. Even so, the repercussions from that 3-second fall now put me in the category of having a chronic condition. If I were shopping for health insurance I would be denied for having a pre-existing condition.

Susan Lynn Register editor That is until now, when by law, health insurance companies cannot deny coverage for any reason. My husband, Brian, is in the same boat. He’s had three discectomies on his lower back. To insurers, he, too, bears the “black spot.” Despite our otherwise good level of health, in the eyes of the insurance industry we would be classified as undesirables. We all know people waiting for 2014 to ring in so they can finally be under the umbrella of health insurance because of the Affordable Care Act. Many of the self-employed — farmers, pet groomers, seamstresses, beauticians, house cleaners, carpenters — have not been able to afford health insurance on their own. As a result, they have been just an accident away from poverty if they were to incur a major medical expense. In rural America, especially, health benefits have not been the norm. THE INSURANCE business has made its money by having a vast majority of its clients be young, healthy and strong. These clients pay for coverage they rarely use. The formula has made health insurance a very profitable business. Because of a universal mandate to have health insurance, the industry will remain vibrant, which is fine. But the playing field will be fairer, with fewer left on the sidelines. That’s something we can all be proud of.

Fiscal problems secondary in rant Lots of demands, but no plan for deficit Normally, big showdowns over budgets and debt limits are fought over spending, taxes and the deficit. This time, things are different. House Republicans are threatening a government shutdown — and, more ominously, a default of U.S. Treasury debt — over issues that have little to do with the major drivers of spending and borrowing. Their list of demands is topped by ObamaCare, which they want defunded or delayed. They also want the Keystone XL Pipeline from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico built, more oil drilling on federal lands, softer coal and carbon regulations, and a rework of the 2010 Wall Street reform law, among other things. Not on the list, and not in the stopgap spending bill that House Republicans have already passed in their chamber, is any significant fiscal restraint. The House bill would keep discretionary spending at current levels, but it would allow major entitlement programs such as Medicare and Social Security to continue on

their unsustainable courses. Defunding ObamaCare — for all the Tea Party hyperventilating — would not yield much savings. Next year, according to the Congressional Budget Office, it will amount to about 1.3 percent of federal

spending. As it ramps up fully, it will grow to about 3.3 percent. That’s a pretty small sliver of government to justify sacrificing the financial credibility of the United States. What’s more, because defunding ObamaCare would also defund the offices that collect the taxes that more than pay for it, the action would actually increase the deficit. The latest Republican approach, unveiled Thursday, is equal parts bizarre and troubling. It demands — through threats of unleashing terrific

Never too old to learn from mistakes No one likes to make a mistake. When I do in a story, it is there for everyone to see. It leaves me with a terrible feeling, because no matter how much I apologize — always with heartfelt sincerity — it doesn’t make the error go away. And whoever bears the brunt of the mistake troubles me even more. It happened Thursday. For reasons I can’t explain, I reported Iola’s First Church of the Nazarene planned to have its centennial celebration this weekend, when in fact it is next weekend. The interview with the church’s pastor, the Rev. Daren Baldwin, went well on Wednesday. I wrote the story that afternoon and it was in Thursday’s Register. Then, my paper house came tumbling down, struck by the winds of carelessness. When the reverend called Thursday afternoon he was nice as he could be to point out mistakes in the story. I also had mentioned congregants usually number 70 to 80. A little high, Daren said: “That’s what we hope to have for the centennial service,” and isn’t weekly attendance.

economic harm — the accomplishments that the GOP has been unable to achieve through the normal process because it has fared poorly in three of the past four elections. It also represents a missed

Daren even allowed the mistake might lead to a larger crowd at Sunday morning’s service. We at the Register try very hard not to make mistakes, but they do occur. We feel lucky we live in such an understanding community.

opportunity. Though the debt limit should never be used as a bargaining chip, the budget year that comes to an end Monday night offers a prime opportunity to negotiate deficit reduction. In the first two years after regaining the majority in the House of Representatives in 2010, Republicans sought to brand themselves as the party of fiscal discipline, with Speaker John Boehner and others negotiating deals around fiscal and calendar year deadlines. As of this spring, deals hammered out between President Obama and Republicans had shaved $2.5 trillion from the deficit, with most coming from spending cuts. The cuts were not ideal; they came too much from core government functions, including defense, and not enough from major entitlement programs. But they were at least cuts, and very substantial ones at that. Now Republicans have abandoned the fiscal-restraint approach in favor of what might be called the tantrum approach — do what we demand or we will blow up ourselves and the economy! This is a loss for the American people, who have a right to expect that their democracy works for them and that public servants of goodwill seek to solve problems, not create them. It is also a loss for the Republican Party, which now looks like it stands for nothing other than petulance and partisan obstruction. — USA Today

Letter to the editor Dear editor,

I think the following poem should be printed as a reminder to all those deplorable folks that drop their dogs and cats off to fend for themselves. We now have a sweet bird dog that some jerk dropped off. We tried to find the owner and contacted the shelter, put her picture on Facebook and put her on the radio on “Animal Tracks.” No luck. She’s old and arthritic. We now have a nice doghouse and expensive bed for her and will get her vaccinations and tumor taken care

of. We’ll love her and care for her. Not all “drop offs” are this lucky. This was printed in the “Ann Landers” section several years go. Hazel Jones, Iola, Kan.

“A Dog Sits Waiting” By Kathy Flood A dog sits waiting in the cold autumn sun, too faithful to leave, too frightened to run. He’s been here for days now with nothing to do but sit by the road, waiting for you.

He can’t understand why you left him that day. He thought you and he were stopping to play. He’s sure you’ll come back, and that’s why he stays. How long will he suffer? How many more days? His legs have grown weak, his throat’s parched and dry, he’s sick now from hunger and falls, with a sigh. He lays down his head and closes his eyes. I wish you could see how a waiting dog dies.

ticipating with the Kansas plan. That said, a plethora of plans and formularies will be available. “Medications typically dictate what plan works best for an individual,” said Sheldon Weisgrau, a health care consultant who has an extensive background in rural hospitals. Under the new formula, employers will make one check paying toward employees’ premiums to the state-run Exchanges, which will cover the myriad plans their employees choose. “It gives employees the advantage of choosing the best plan that suits them, not what suits the employer,” Weisgrau said. Employees do not have to participate. The first step in seeing if a state-run plan is better than what an employer currently offers is to compare a plan’s benefits, premiums and co-pays. Employers can download the PDF application form from the Internet by inserting the term “Small Busi-

ness Health Options Program application.” For in-person help, certified application counselors are available. To find the nearest one go to www. InsureKS.org or contact the Kansas Insurance Department. Employers who currently provide insurance can have their brokers help them research the state program.

A BIG advantage of the Affordable Care Act is those with pre-existing conditions — arthritis, diabetes, heart disease or cancer, for example; or a history of injuries — back, knees and shoulders — can no longer be denied health insurance. Obamacare prohibits insurance companies from dropping chronically ill patients from their rolls and also bans a limit as to how much an insurance company will pay for a person’s care. In other words, a person can’t “cap out” of care because of high charges, as in previous times. Enrollment for the new system is from Oct. 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014.

‘Check-off’ ups fees WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas growers will soon be paying more for the wheat “check-off ” program that supports research and market development. The Kansas Wheat Commission announced Thursday that its board has approved a check-off increase to 2 cents per bushel from the current 1.5 cents per bushel, effective Nov. 1. Commission chairman Ron Suppes says that shrinking government research funding

— combined with fewer wheat acres and smaller crops — make it more vital than ever for farmers to invest in their industry. The new Kansas Wheat Innovation Center that opened last December is a $10.3 million research facility that is expected to create new wheat varieties. The industry group says the check-off increase will help pay down debt on the building and fund research at the center.

GARVER’S Interest in the sport was piqued when his son, David, had a companion who was recovering from surgery. As part of her recovery, she needed to build strength in her back. “We were looking for an activity to get her strengthened up,” he said. That’s when he remembered Lyle Kern’s interest in the sport. After their first attempt, they were hooked. “The next thing we knew, we were at the tennis courts almost every day,” he said. Garver’s son has since passed away in February 2012. Though the sport is simple enough — a ball and a paddle — Garver was surprised at the cost of the paddle, anywhere from $60 to $80. So he and his son decided to create their own. They started with a rough design, honing it after several attempts. At first, he used plywood; eventually moving to a lightweight composite aluminum. Then he put a few racquets on eBay. “They sold pretty fast,” he said. In short order, dealers began to contact Garver. Now, he has official dealers in Florida, Arkansas, Texas, Arizona, Colorado, Utah and Canada — he also sells paddles individually across the nation. Garver said the paddles are certified through the USA Pickleball Association for competitive play. They are put through rigorous testing. Garver said his paddles are more durable and lighter than many conventional paddles, as well as customizable. With his screen-printing ex-

perience, Garver said he does custom designs for his customers and dealers at no extra charge. Now, he is just trying to keep up with the orders.

each other on the Meadowbrook tennis courts — they have converted them into pickleball courts, roughly one-third the size of a normal tennis court. The men whacked

HOW TO PLAY:

Essentially a large version of table tennis, or ping-pong, a pickleball court is one-third the size of a tennis court. Players can play singles or doubles, as they volley a pickleball back and forth. They serve underhanded, and swing the paddles (small, solid planks) to hit the ball back and forth. The volley rules are nearly identical to table tennis. A player or team can only score when they are serving, and the first one to 11 points wins — you must win by two. The ball moves about “one-third” the speed of a tennis ball, Garver said, and matches can be as intense as the players want them to be. Also, he warned the sport can be addictive.

“I can’t keep up,” he said. “I’m going to have to do something else, if I could expand in the right way, I would.” “It was meant to be I guess.” ON THURSDAY evening, Garver, along with Larry Wilson, Mike Britt and Joe Goley, spent an hour matching up against

pickleballs (similar to a wiffle ball, just more dense and durable) back and forth, dodging across the courts. “It’s the most fun game I’ve ever gotten involved in,” Goley said in between volleys. He commutes from Grove, Okla., to work in Erie. He said he tries to make it to Iola to play with the

group as often as he can. There are a couple dozen people who play in the community, Garver said, and they help to keep the Meadowbrook courts in good condition. They hope to get the word out for more players, he said, with a “Pickleball Extravaganza” Oct. 5 at the Meadowbrook courts. From 1 to 3 p.m. they will be playing games, giving instruction and having giveaways and challenges for those wanting more information. Garver said pickleball is an extremely “accessible” sport; all you need is a paddle and a ball. He and his pickleball companions hope to see more people interested in “America’s fastest growing sport.” They are hoping to expand the pickleball community in Iola, particularly with Oct. 5’s event. But, he said new players are welcome whenever they play, which is almost every night at 6 o’clock.

Iola has cosmic ties A photograph in Thursday’s Register had special meaning for Iolans David and Mary Kay Heard. Their daughter-in-law, Robin Roth Heard, wife of Scott, works for Orbital Sciences Corporation at Chandler, Ariz., on its fuels team. They live in nearby Gilbert. The photograph was of Orbital’s Antares rocket being launched from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport in Virginia on Sept. 18.

ANOTHER person with Iola ties has done well in his career with the National Aeronau-

tics and Space Administration. Scott Wray recently received two awards from NASA. He is the son of Mike Wray, a 1969 graduate of Iola High School. He received a Johnson Space Center Innovation Award, along with two other NASA employees, from Ellen Ochoa, director of the Johnson Space Center, Houston. He was part of a team that developed an extra-vehicular activity device, used to capture knowledge and manage training. He also was recognized for his role in training.

Nazarene centennial will be Oct. 5 and 6 The Register mistakenly reported in Thursday’s paper that Iola’s First Church of the Nazarene centennial would be today and Sunday. It will be next weekend, Oct. 5 and 6. At 5 o’clock, Oct. 5, the church will host a din-

Fillies doubles take third in Pitt — B2

Saturday, September 28, 2013

Defense takes control LA CYGNE — A few costly mistakes by its opponent kept Iola High on top at the end of the first half Friday evening. Host Prairie View High lost a touchdown late in the second quarter that would have given the Buffalos a lead. Instead, Iola took a 19-14 lead into halftime. The Mustang defense took it from there, seizing full control after halftime in a 33-14 win. The victory lifts Iola to 3-1 on the season and 2-0 in Pioneer League play. After allowing 132 yards passing in the first half to Prairie View quarterback Shaun Ackerson on 7 of 8 passing, the Mustangs limited the Buffalo junior to 5 of 10 passing for 18 yards in the third and fourth quarters. “I don’t know why we came out so flat in the first half,” Mustang head coach Doug Kerr said. “I didn’t do a good job of getting them excited about the game.” His tack was a bit different for the second half. “Let’s just say we had a well-orchestrated enhanced conversation about what they should be doing,” Kerr said. Message received.

The Mustangs allowed only three first downs in the second half — two coming on Prairie View’s first drive of the third quarter — and nothing after that. Prairie View did just fine shooting itself in the foot without Iola’s help. The Buffalos were whistled for a whopping 16 penalties for 130 yards for the game. The most costly only went for five yards, but it was a doozy. The Buffalos thought they had taken a lead when quarterback Shaun Ackerson tossed an 18-yard touchdown pass to Trent Phelps with 19 seconds left in the first half, but Prairie View was whistled for a penalty because Phelps was an ineligible receiver. “We were going crazy on the sidelines,” Kerr said. “We coaches were wondering how he got so open. That’s when the players told us he was ineligible.” Adding to the confusion, the drive was aided by an apparent clock malfunction. The Buffalos ran off three plays with the clock stuck at 55 seconds. Officials finally reset the clock at 19 seconds after the

penalty.

THE MUSTANGS did most of their offensive damage on the ground. In his first game back from injury, senior John Whitworth scored on runs of 80 and 44 yards, part of the Mustangs’ 365-yard ground effort. “I’m proud of how the guys responded,” Kerr said. “That may have been our best half of football all season. Our defense hammered ’em, and John just started running over people.” Tyler McIntosh gave Iola a 7-0 lead on a 4-yard keeper early in the second quarter. Prairie View responded on its next drive — set up at the Iola 33 after the Mustangs were whistled for a penalty on the ensuing kickoff. Austin Gulotta’s 13-yard run tied the score at 7-7. McIntosh found Jesse Zimmerman in the end zone on a 1-yard pass to push Iola back on top, 13-7. The extra-point kick bounced off the upright. Whitworth did his magic on Iola’s next possession, racing 80 yards for a score to put Iola up 19-7. See MUSTANGS | Page B7

Iola joins 4A, Div. II By RICHARD LUKEN richard@iolaregister.com

As expected, Iola High athletes playing team sports will compete with the state’s smaller Class 4A teams in the postseason, some as early as this fall. The Kansas State High School Activities announced the Class 4A split breakdown Friday. The 32 largest 4A schools go into Division I, including IHS rivals Chanute, Fort Scott and Field Kindley of Coffeyville. The smaller half, with enrollments between 235 and 195 students, go into Division II. With 260 students, Iola is the sixthSee 4A | Page B2

Tough losses leave Fillies coach optimistic INDEPENDENCE — Iola High’s volleyball team dropped a pair of road matches Thursday, but with the caliber of the Fillies’ opponents, head coach Emily Sigg was anything but discouraged. “Tonight was the most consistent our team has been in two seasons,” Sigg said after

the Fillies fell 25-19, 25-19 to Pittsburg and 25-16, 25-23 to host Independence. “I think this can be a huge turning point for us to build on,” Sigg said. In the Pittsburg match, Iola’s Emery Driskel led the way with six kills, five solo blocked shots and one as-

sisted block. Addie Haar followed with three kills, while Kyra Moore had six assists, a kill and a service ace. Emma Piazza had three assists, one solo block and a block assist. Mikaela Platt added two kills and Ashlie Shields one kill and two solo blocks. Piazza and Driskel shared

the high-water mark in kills against Independence with five apiece. Driskel also had a solo block and a dig; Piazza notched two assists. Moore had nine assists, two kills and one block assist. Platt had two kills, while Haar had a kill and an ace. Shields had a kill.

IMS squads pick up court wins By RICHARD LUKEN richard@iolaregister.com

Terri Carlin couldn’t believe her eyes. After playing sterling, fundamentally sound volleyball for most the 2013 season, Iola Middle School’s eighth-graders found themselves making some errors — mental and physical — at the start of their home match against Independence. “We were not communicating and made some bad choices,” said Carlin, the eighth-grade head coach. “We were letting balls drop to the floor. I’ve never seen us do that before.” The Ponies shook off the cobwebs, resettled themselves and took control from there. Iola’s A-team came away with a 19-25, 25-12, 15-9 victory over Independence. “The good part was I knew we were capable of stepping it up and taking care of things in the See IMS | Page B3

Pony eighth-graders roll By RICHARD LUKEN richard@iolaregister.com

Iola Middle School’s eighth-graders were clinicians Thursday, showing anybody who was interested a devastatingly effective way to disrupt an opponent’s offense. The Ponies repeatedly broke through the line of

scrimmage to pull down Royster Middle School ball carriers. Occasionally, the ball carrier would slip past, but never get far enough downfield to put the Chanute squad in scoring position. Iola’s offense wasn’t too shabby either, particularly See PONIES | Page B3

Fillies doubles team takes third at Pitt PITTSBURG — Improvement was the name of the game Thursday for Iola High’s tennis. The Fillies won six matches during the day. Shelby Reno and Allyson Hobbs had the most successful day on the court for the Fillies as the No. 2 doubles team. They went 3-1 to take second-place medals. They defeated Morris and Engle of Fort Scott, 8-5, and Stevenson and Page of Labette County in a 7-6 tie-breaker. “The match against the Labette team was intense, with so many good and long points,” Iola head coach Jenn Bycroft said. “It was so exciting watching them tonight.” Reno and 0Hobbs also won by default over Columbus, which didn’t field a second doubles team, and lost to Pichler and Sullivan of Pittsburg, 8-2.

“Shelby and Allyson worked hard tonight, and are really starting to connect with each other on the court,” Bycroft said. MEGAN SMITH was a fitting example of showing improvement on the court, Bycroft said.

an 8-6 decision. She ended her day by thumping Kelci Atkinson of Columbus, 8-2. “Megan played a lot tougher tonight, both physically and mentally,” Iola head coach Jenn Bycroft said. “She really doesn’t enjoy playing singles too much, but she never complains and does her best. She improved on the night. I was thrilled to see her finish it with a W.” Katie Lieurance went 1-3 on the night. She dropped an 8-4 decision to Alex King of Fort Scott and an 8-0 setback to Katie Phalen of Pittsburg and an 8-2 loss to Selena Perez of Labette County. Lieurance ended her day with a default, 8-0 win over Columbus’ Abbey Peterson. “Katie is still struggling with some health issues, but she always does her best and never

gives up,” Bycroft said. “She had some nice passing shots tonight.” Alexis Hobbs and Bobbi Sinclair dropped a tough, 8-4 decision to Char Hutchison and Emmah Reeves of Fort Scott in No. 1 doubles. “I believe if we could replay that match, we would win that one,” Bycroft said. “We just had some silly mistakes and didn’t make adjustments, which cost us. Many of the games went to deuce, but just didn’t go our way.” Alexis Hobbs and Sinclair fell to Long and Baden of Pittsburg and Smith and Closs of Labette County by identical 8-1 scores. They, too, ended their day with a flourish, shutting out Murillo and Zahm of Columbus, 8-0. “It was nice to see them end with a win,” Bycroft said.

Marmaton Valley’s volleyball, football teams successful MORAN — Marmaton Valley Junior High’s athletes found the winning path and stayed on it Thursday evening. Sure, there were some close calls. The Wildcat eighthgrade A-team volleyball squad had to come from behind repeatedly to earn its three-set win over visiting Uniontown, and Marmaton Valley’s football team went into overtime. But each still came out

on the winning side, as did the volleyball B and C teams. The volleyball A-team emerged with a 25-20, 1925, 15-11 win. “It seemed like we played behind them all night,” head coach Brenda Mills said. “We never got into our game, but I was proud of the girls because they never quit playing hard.” MaKayla Brooks led A-team victors with 12 points, followed by Paige

Becker, Shayla Brooks and Megan Ensminger with five points apiece. Trinitee Gutierrez and Clara Boyd each scored four. “It was good to fight back and get a win, even when we didn’t play at our best,” Mills said. “That’s what good teams do.” Marmaton Valley’s Bteam downed Uniontown 25-17, 25-4. Sarah Spillman scored 14 points for the Wildcats, including 11 straight in the second set. Shail-

largest of the Division II schools. The 4A schools approved the split earlier this summer in a statewide vote. Enrollment figures for football classifications are based on the number of students in ninth, 10th and 11th grades only, KSHSAA noted, and are based on figures as of Sept. 20. The state uses enrollment figures set on those dates to determine how much each district gets in state aid. The split will take effect immediately for Iola’s volleyball, basketball, baseball and softball teams. The split goes into effect next season for football. The split will not affect other sports: golf, cross country, tennis, wrestling and track and field — sports in which individual championships are awarded at

Iola High athletics director Martin Bambick said the state should announce regional designations for those sports within the next few days. The split will have minimal effect on Iola’s participation within the Pioneer League. Osawatomie, Anderson County and Prairie View will join Iola in Class 4A, Division II.

Wildcats pummel Elk Valley, 56-6 MORAN — Marmaton Valley High may have found just the confidence boost it needed Friday night against the Elk Valley Lions. The Wildcats won the homecoming contest 56-6 in the third quarter. “I’m happy for the kids, they’ve worked really hard,” Coach Dan Uhlrich said following the game. Will a win like this lift the team’s spirits? “It always does,” Uhlrich replied. Both teams started slowly in the first. The Wildcats coughed up the ball while on their initial drive, but the defensive took a stand and the offense drove once again for a score from Micheal Genn — Marmaton Valley went on top 8-0 to start the second. Things started to heat up on for the home team in the beginning of the second quarter. “We won on the line

Brady Newman caught the only passing touchdown of the game, on the first play of the quarter with an 18-yard reception in the end zone from Chance Stevenson. From there, the Wildcats defense was stalwart, and their offense was unstoppable. Genn skated by the Lion defense on nearly every run to the out-

side — he had four touchdowns in the second quarter alone. The scores piled up on the Lions until the half, with the Wildcats on top 42-0. The Lions responded with what seemed to be their only gasp of fresh air during the game to start the second half, when the ran the kickoff back for a touchdown. Other than that, the

Lions only had two first downs for the game. Michael Beggs put another one in the end zone for the Wildcats, and Stevenson had a one-yard run to end the game midway through the third quarter. Genn led the team in rushing with 183 yards on 19 carries, followed by Beggs with 29 total yards. Defensively, Stevenson was on top in tackles with six, followed by Joey Jefferis and Austin Pinkerton with four.

Yates Center prevails YATES CENTER — Yates Center High didn’t let the sting of a disappointing loss stick around long. The Wildcats instead took out their frustrations of a 16-point loss last week to Waverly out on visiting Central-Burden. Yates Center led 24-8 after one quarter, then put the game away with a 30-point blast in the second quarter to two win, 54-8. “Our defense played very well,” Wildcat head coach Ben Wiehn said. “We had a good week of practice after last week’s game.” Caleb DeNoon rushed

for 69 yards and three touchdowns, while throwing for 34. Austin McNett racked up 118 yards and two touchdowns. He also had eight yards on one catch. Mike Bruner rushed for 84 yards and touchdown, while Robert Arnold intercepted a Central pass near the Wildcat end zone. He raced the length of the field for another score. The pick was one of five on the day — by five Jason Wendland also had an interception and a team-high eight tackles. DeNoon, Logan Tidd, Gavin Dillow and Trevor Chism also had interceptions.

Matt Komma was next on the scoring wheel, blasting his way in from three yards out late in the first quarter to push the lead to 24-0. Another drive ended with a fumble deep in Royster territory in the second quarter, and a holding penalty nullified a 62-yard touchdown run by Nik Peterson, but Iola still was able to respond. The Ponies quickly stuffed Royster’s next possession before Sigg found Ethan Holloway on a 40-yard pass play — on fourth and long — with 1:10 left in the half.

But Royster scored on a 30-yard pass play late in the half to lead by 10. The Ponies cut the gap to two in the second half but could get no closer in a 24-14 loss. “We just did not come ready to play,” Taylor said. “We weren’t very tough in the first half.” Iola’s Tayton Driskel, who rushed for 167 yards and both iola touchdowns, reached the end zone on a nine-yard run in the second quarter, and on a 22-yard run in the third. He also scored a two-point conversion.

“The kids came out in the second half and played much better football,” Taylor said. “We can build on that.” Royster’s Brennen Feeback scored on a six-yard run to open the scoring for the Rockets. Feeback’s 30-yard touchdown pass to Mason Manbeck ended the firsthalf scoring. Feeback’s 26-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter capped the scoring. NIc Zimmerman added 37 yards on eight carries. Kane Rogers was 5 of 9 passing for 67 yards and an interception. He also rushed for 17 yards. Cole Regehr had an 11yard rush. Matt Karr caught two passes for 55 yards, including a long pass from Kane that ended up three yards short of the goal line as time expired in the first half. Driskel had two receptions for 12 yards.

Iola led 13-3 to start the tie-breaker. “They made a little run on us, but it wasn’t enough,” Carlin said. “I was proud of the girls for coming back and playing strong. Karly McGuffin really stepped up tonight. She was a great leader on the court. Her confidence was high, and she took advantage. She had a strong all-around game, hitting, serving and passing.” McGuffin had five kills and three aces serves. Colbi Riley dished out four aces, delivered two kills, and had eight serves in a row to lead the way in the third set. Scout Rush added three aces and two kills, Katie Bauer had three aces and a kill, Emma Weseloh had an ace and a kill and Madison Carlin had nine assists and a kill.

The first game was close at the be-

Iola’s A-team dropped a 25-20, 25-23 game. Piper Moore and Madisyn Holloway both had 100-percent serving days, while Mia Aronson and Kendra Sprague served at 80 and 77 percent, respectively. Jaden Channel served at a 75-percent clip. Shaylee Sutterby at 60 percent. “We have improved a lot since we first played Independence, but we really wanted to win this going into our last weekend of play,” seventh-grade coach Stacy Sprague said. The seventh-grade Bteam fell 23-25, 25-22, 1510. “The girls played really well,” Sprague said. “Coach (Chelsea Gumfory) and I are so proud of how far the girls have come in our short season. Each of them improved in serving and passing. We are just getting some of it figured out, and the season is over.” Sadie Maple and Kassy Shelby both were successful on 7 of 8 service attempts for Iola. The seventh-graders return to action today during the IMS Net Games competition, beginning at 8:30 a.m.

Marlan Buchanan, who has had a sore back, shot a 58 to take 17th place. Becky Wendland, who injured her ankle earlier this week, shot a 59 to tie for 19th. Wendland was granted permission to use a golf cart because of the injury. MaKayla Jones and Braeden Burright shot 60 and 67 for 21st and 30th, respectively. Both were career lows. “I was glad we were able to compete in the team competition,” Wildcat golf coach Kevin Barnes said. “I just wish Becky and Marlana were 100 percent,” he continued. “Both stuck it out to the finish. MaKayla and Braeden had excellent days.”

Crest dumps St. Paul Titans complete stirring comeback COLONY — Crest High held onto an early lead at home against the St. Paul Indians. Keyed by a strong rushing performance from Evan Godderz, the Lancers improved to 2-2 with a 24-14 victory. “We got a win,” Head Coach Brent Smith said bluntly. “Our defense played well at times, but we still have a lot to work on.” All four of the Lancers’ scores came from Godderz, a sophomore. He ran for touchdowns covering 21 and 23 yards in the first and second quarters. St. Paul responded in the second half with fruitful drive to put the score at 12-6, before Godderz struck twice more — once on a 43-yard

dash and yet again on 16 yards. The Indians tried once more to bring a comeback, with a 32yard touchdown run. But it was to no avail. Godderz rushed for 221 yards on 31 carries, followed by Clayton Miller with 45 yards on 12 carries and Braden McGee with 11 carries for 41 yards. Miller had the sole reception for the Lancers for 12 yards. Defensively, the Lancers shared the wealth. Brandon Brallier took down the ball carrier 14 times, followed by Landon Stephens eight times. Codi Vermillion, Taylor Davis and Kellen Ramsey had seven tackles apiece. Stephens, Ramsey, Davis, Vermillion, Brallier and Kyler Bowen each recovered fumbles.

LE ROY — On a strong secondhalf comeback, the Southern Coffey County Titans edged out the Pleasanton Blu-Jays in Le Roy Friday evening, 28-22. The Titans scored 22 straight points to take control in the second half, despite playing without starting quarterback, Chism Newkirk. “A lot of guys rallied and

Eli Adams collected a hat trick with three of the Iola goals. Brandon McKarnin also scored a goal. Logan Ulrich had two assists for Blue and Gold. Casey McKarnin and Brett Willis shared goalkeeping duties, collecting three and four saves, respectively. “It was a great second half,” Iola coach Brek Ulrich said. Iola’s 12-and-under squad needed no such dramatics in its contest, scoring four

HOT TOPICS: 3 ISSUES GENERATING A BUZZ

A team tussle

A couple of questions we just had to ask — ourselves

AP/MIC SMITH

Matt is The Man … for now, anyway. You preparing for a Matt Kenseth championship speech? GODSPEAK: Not so fast. It sure looks like a three-horse race, and he’s ahead by a neck, but don’t hand him the microphone yet. KEN’S CALL: You practice by sitting through hours of Senate committee meetings on C-SPAN. Bring it on.

AAA sponsors the next race. Bad sign? GODSPEAK: The tow service will come in handy, but does AAA still provide bail money? KEN’S CALL: Dover usually delivers plenty of work for the body shop, but at least the AAA locksmith won’t be needed.

ONLINE EXTRAS news-journalonline. com/nascar Do you have questions or comments about NASCAR This Week? Contact Godwin Kelly at godwin.kelly@news-jrnl. com or Ken Willis at ken.willis@ news-jrnl.com

In the past two Chase races, Matt Kenseth has beaten Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Kyle Busch to the finish line. They stand first and second in Cup Series points. This isn’t the first time teammates have thrown elbows to hold the Cup Series championship trophy. Most recently Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson, who drive for Hendrick Motorsports, dueled for 2007 title honors. It looked like Gordon would win his fifth championship after back-to-back Chase wins at Talladega and Charlotte that season. Instead, Johnson rallied back with four consecutive Chase victories to capture the second of five straight Cup Series crowns. Stay tuned. This could get very interesting.

TRUEX TRIPPED

News-Journal/NIGEL COOK

Michael Waltrip Racing tried to get Martin Truex Jr. into the Chase with some stock-car tomfoolery at Richmond. Now the one driver at Waltrip Racing who was truly battling for position that night is trying to stop a domino effect with his career. His sponsor, NAPA, which has been with Waltrip since 2001, said it could not stomach the team’s actions and won’t be Truex’s sponsor in 2014. MWR is scrambling to pull together a package for Truex. Will he be racing with Waltrip next season? “I don’t know — it’s too early to tell, to be honest with you,” he said. “I wish I knew and I wish I could say, but a lot of circumstances have to play out, and it’s so late in the game and late in the season.”

MONTOYA’S MOVES For the past 20 or so years, it’s been a one-way road from the IndyCar Series to NASCAR. Recent defections from open-wheel racing include Sam Hornish Jr. and Danica Patrick. Well, Indy finally won one. Juan Pablo Montoya, who won the 2000 Indianapolis 500, then went to Formula One before going to stock-car racing, is bucking the trend. Montoya, whose NASCAR highlight film includes two Sprint Cup Series road-racing wins and a fiery encounter with a track jet drier, will wheel an IndyCar for “The Captain,” Roger Penske. Montoya, who hails from Colombia, will be released from Earnhardt Ganassi Racing at season’s end and continue his racing career in one of those open-cockpit rocket ships. The 38-year-old driver gave the No. 78 Furniture Row Racing Chevy a look-see, but decided his heart was in single-seaters. “I was looking at all the choices, and when I started talking to Roger about it, to tell you the truth, it was a no-brainer for me,” Montoya said last week. “I always loved open-wheel. That is my background. I had seven great years here, and still have nine more races with the Target car this year. When you get a chance to run for Roger, I wouldn’t turn that down.”

Matt may look calm on the outside, but … oh, let’s face it, he’s probably cool on the inside too. You don’t have Mild Matt Fever? Not even close. Not even the lowgrade form. Sure, you have to respect Matt Kenseth’s momentum. You have to give a nod to the Mild One’s three wins the past five times he’s hit the go switch. He hasn’t had a bad finish since early August, or a true clunker since early July. However, some perspective: He’s only 14 points ahead of Kyle Busch, and just 18 ahead of ol’ Jimbo, who’s won five of these things.

But doesn’t momentum equal horsepower? Only in a mystical, impossible-toexplain way. Those pistons and shocks don’t read the current standings, so they have no clue what’s happening and therefore remain humble. Never forget: In racin’, momentum can go away with your next set of Goodyears. All it takes is one blip beyond your control, you’re running with the mid-packers and wondering what happened to your points lead.

Any hunches for Dover? No hunch, just a hope: The Chase standings are already spreading out, with more daylight than we usually see after two races. Dover can rattle cages, so hopefully it can tighten up the loosening playoff bunch. Ken Willis has been covering NASCAR for The Daytona Beach News-Journal for 27 years.

Dark horse: Jamie McMurray First one out: Jeff Burton Don’t be surprised if: It looks like Kenseth may win out. If Kyle Busch can’t beat him, who can?

MATT KENSETH

Kyle Busch vs. Matt Kenseth: Busch’s frustration is rising after finishing second to Gibbs Racing teammate Kenseth for a second straight race. Godwin Kelly gives his take: “Busch is not happy he’s the No. 2 driver at Gibbs Racing. Busch could boil over in the next few weeks.”
