IHS valedictorians: 4 score perfect grades
‘Just love them’
Family strong influence on Mueller
lizabeth Compton knows a thing or two about raising kids, but “you never get done learning,” she said, with tomorrow being set aside to recognize her and other mothers. Compton is 95, gave birth to 16 children and raised 15. One son, William Irl, died when he was less than three days old. The first of her children, Finley Lee, arrived in 1941, a year after she married Finley Compton and they took up residence on a farm near Neosho Falls. She missed few years giving birth to a child over the next two decades. “When the last was born, my oldest was in college,” Compton recalled. Education was important to Compton, who graduated from Iola Junior College and taught school for a year before marrying.

An external force that guided him toward accounting is his aunt, Lisa Fontaine, who follows the profession at Monarch Cement Co., Humboldt. He also has a role

Growing up on a farm south of Iola, Bryan Mueller learned to pay attention to details and to follow on tasks he was given. Those are life lessons that will serve him well in accounting, the career path he has chosen to pursue at Kansas State University this fall. Mueller has a good starting point academically. He

Teacher impacts McIntosh’s path By SPENCER MICHELSON
The Iola Register
Tyler McIntosh is starting off on the right track toward college after being named a valedictorian for the class of 2014. “It shows how much work I put in during high school,” McIntosh, 18, said. “It’s a pretty big honor to be named the top of your class.” The 4.0 GPA student is moving on to Emporia State next year, where he will major in biochemistry. That’s fitting since McIntosh’s favorite
classes in high school where chemistry and physics. McIntosh said he enjoyed chemistry due to his teacher. “Mr. Daugharthy was great,” McIntosh said. “I think that he affected my passion for chemistry.” McIntosh said he specifically chose biochemistry as his major because it would allow him to become a pharmacist. “I’ve been working at the pharmacy and so I’ve enjoyed it,” McIntosh said. “I want to go into medicine and health See McINTOSH | Page A6

“All my children have a college education, or the equivalent,” she said. COMPTON wasn’t a stranger to a large family when she married. She was one of 12 children b o r n to the Rev. Irving and Bethany Neuenswander. H e Elizabeth was an Compton Methodist minister who served churches in a number of small towns before settling in Colony. Finley Compton entered her world in a round-about way. When her father was serving a church in Willis, a hamlet in northeast Kansas west of St. Joseph, Mo., the Neuenswanders became acquainted with a Compton family. After moving to Colony, the Willis-area Comptons stopped for a visit on the way to see relatives at Eureka. Young Finley, of the See COMPTON | Page A3

Kauth races forward to Bethel administration. Although he knows the degrees he wants, Kauth doesn’t know what he wants to do with them yet. He does have four more years before he has to worry about that. “With computer science and business administration, they’re so broad,” Kauth said. “I haven’t decided on what I want to branch off into quite yet. I was kind of hoping to decide once I get into it a little more and see where I’m at.” Kauth chose Bethel because

Since he was a freshman in high school Adam Kauth had it in his sights to become a valedictorian. “It doesn’t come around easily,” said Kauth, 18, who was named one of four at Iola High School. “I worked toward that goal and finally achieved it.” Kauth is planning to attend Bethel College next fall, where he will double-major in computer science and business

When Iola High seniors were recognized in ceremonies Wednesday evening, the lion’s share of students had a pretty good idea about what awards they might receive. Ricky Michael, who stands at the head of his class with three others with 4.0 grade point averages, was in for a surprise. He never dreamed he hadn’t missed a day of classes all through his four years of high school, Michael said,
when the award for perfect attendance was announced. “I was shocked,” he said. How does a student accomplish such a thing over four years? “I don’t know, other than I’ve never been sick much,” he said, and when illness struck it always came during a vacation period. Michael plans to study medicine at the University of Kansas, with a focus on oncology. He had an ACT composite score of 28, with a 29 in sciSee MICHAEL | Page A6

Moms come first for preschoolers By KAYLA BANZET The Iola Register
Mother’s Day allows children, young and old, to express appreciation for their moms. Students at the Ready, Set, Learn Preschool, Iola, took a break from playing musical chairs to tell The Register how awesome their mothers are. Why is your mom such a great mom? Landon: “She made me cupcakes for my birthday. They are strawberry with orange on top!” (Landon was celebrating a milestone birthday, his fifth) Kollyn: “She clips my toenails when I’m sleeping so I’m not scared.” Madalynn: “She takes me to the park.” Ruger: “She lets me

If you had a million dollars what would you buy your mom for Mother’s Day? Nathan: “I would buy her roses. Red and green and all sorts of different colors.” Cadin: “I would buy her a necklace.” Madalynn: “I would get her a big ring.” Ruger: “Flowers!” Kollyn: “Lots of jewlery.” If you could take your mom anywhere for Mother’s Day where would you take her?

Chamber participates in Kansas Sampler Festival Shelia Lampe Chamber Musings
Perfect weather brought record-setting attendance to the 25th annual Kansas Sampler Festival May 3-4 in Wamego. Just over 11,700 attended the outdoor travel show. A Kansas Sampler Foundation project, the festival is designed to provide the public a sample of what there is to see, do, hear, taste, buy, and learn in Kansas.
Wamego, population 4,485, is the smallest city to host the festival. Other hosts have been Pratt, Ottawa, Independence, Newton, Garden City, Concordia, Leavenworth and Liberal. The festival began in 1998 on the Penner Farm near Inman. The 282 exhibits were spread out over the 12acre Wamego City Park and a nearby ballfield. With a children’s train roping through the park, the tulips, redbud trees, a pond, the 1879 Dutch mill, the historical complex provided a picturesque backdrop for the huge white tents and free-standing displays. Long lines were constant in the exhibit tents, the

Driver cited for dummy
A3
QUINCY, Mass. (AP) — A commuter heading into Boston had a real dummy along for the ride. State Trooper John Carnell was working a paid detail in Quincy on Thursday morning when he saw a vehicle enter the carpool lane on Interstate 93 north with a suspicious-looking passenger. Carnell pulled over the vehicle and found that indeed, the driver had propped up a jacket with a mannequin head on top in the passenger seat. The fake head even had a little mustache drawn on.
Compton: Raises many through years Continued from A1
Eureka Comptons and traveling with his relatives, noticed Elizabeth. “Finley said he liked me,” and it went from there, Compton said. They were married Aug. 4, 1940, at her parents’ home in Colony — fine with her, she was eager to hitch up with the love of her life. The wedding had few frills, but was followed by a splendid fried chicken dinner prepared by her mother.
Finley had been farming with his father at Eureka, an enterprise wrecked by the Great Depression. Eventually the newly weds sought a new start on a farm near Neosho Falls, with a rent-free house in exchange for farming on shares. The bottom ground produced well, except when the Neosho River flooded, a common occurrence before John Redmond Dam was built north of Burlington in the 1950s.
With a knack for fixing things, Finley opened a car repair garage in Neosho Falls to supplement income for the growing family.
COMPTON had good training for taking on the chores of being a wife and mother, coming from a family of 12 kids. “Mom gave us different jobs to do, mostly what we liked to do,” she said. “I liked to cook.” She put the skill to work in marriage, daily

fixing meals for a houseful of children and a hard-working husband. “He was a good husband,” Compton said of Finley, and she never fretted about having to arise early and head for the kitchen. “He liked a good breakfast before he went to work in the fields or the garage at 6 a.m.” Her early morning regimen also included preparing lunches for the kids to take to school and for her husband to carry with him to the field. His daily schedule was dawnto-dusk work. A deeply religious woman, Compton credits her success as a mother and wife to the “Lord taking care of you — and the older you get the better you know it.” If there is a secret she possesses in the raising of her brood, it is “loving your children and taking care of them. Dad would spank us sometimes, but Mom always talked to us whenever we did something we shouldn’t. I did that with my children. I think that’s better than spanking.” Having a large family wasn’t necessarily planned, just came naturally, Compton said. “I really never thought about it and my husband never objected,” she said with a chuckle. “He was always working and I was raising our children.” Taking a cue from their mother’s upbringing, Compton’s children pitched in to help with daily tasks about the home and, as they grew up, in the fields. If she could start over, Compton said she wouldn’t do anything differently. “It’s been rewarding. And, when you think you know it all,” about child rearing, “the next one is different.” AS LUCID and articulate as a woman half her age, Compton lives in Windsor Place and with her requiring constant oxygen she doesn’t get out much. The children and their families keep in close contact. She knows the day of the week without a calendar. Her children telephone certain days of the week to check on mom. From her children she has 57 grandchildren, 73 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. She has no particular plans for Mother’s Day, but did have an outpouring of family come recently for a 95th birthday party, on April 19, 1919. “That’s always been an easy date for everyone to remember,” she mused.

Mueller: KSU
Iolan linked to anti-green campaign
Continued from A1
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A lobbyist says he did a personal favor for Iolan Virginia CrosslandMacha to aid the formation of a new group opposing a Kansas green-energy requirement for utilities, fueling criticism that a recent postcard campaign against the rule on behalf of seniors was actually orchestrated by the conservative billionaire Koch brothers’ main political organization and the powerful Kansas Chamber of Commerce. State Director Jeff Glendening said Wednesday that Americans for Prosperity, the anti-tax, small-government group backed by Charles and David Koch, had nothing to do with postcards sent out opposing the standards. But on Thursday, Glendening told The Wichita Eagle he forgot to mention that he helped link attorney W. Robert Alderson with Virginia Crossland-Macha, founder of the Kansas Senior Consumer Alliance which sent the
model to give guidance at K-State. His brother, Drew, “laid the groundwork for me,� Mueller said. Drew is a K-State graduate now studying for a career in healthcare at the University of St. Mary, Leavenworth. Yet another academic influence has been his mother, Carla Mueller, an instructor in the Title I program at Jefferson Elementary School. In addition to his sterling grade point average, Mueller scored a composite score of 25 on his ACT and was a couple of notches higher in math at 27, a good predictor for his accounting ambitions. For all his success — including in sports — young Mueller allows that he is quiet and reserved. “I was very shy in grade school, hardly ever spoke,� he said. “Middle school was fun, but it went by so fast.� Fond memories of the last four years often involve sports, including

a trip to the state basketball tournament. And then there is tennis. He teamed with Colby Works, a sophomore, to put together a 21-3 record this year during the regular season. He ran cross country and distance races in track before switching to tennis as a junior. Academic activities include Future Farmers of America and National Honor Society. He also is active in the Grace Lutheran Church Youth Group, serving — what else? — as its treasurer. Mueller is the son of Tom and Carla Mueller.
postcards. Glendening said he was not acting in his official capacity as AFP’s state leader. “There’s no formal connection between AFP and this group. There really isn’t, other than yes, we agreed on the RPS (energy standards) issue. I don’t know what other issues they’re going to take up,� Glendening said. “I’ve known Virginia for years and she simply asked about forming a group and I connected the two and that was it.� A western Kansas legislator who supports the renewable standard accused the Kansas Senior Consumer Alliance of using scare tactics to influence older residents. Rep. Don Hineman, a Dighton Republican, also questioned the new group’s independence. “If it’s truly a grassroots organization of senior citizens, where’s the money coming from?� Hineman said. “It’s not a cheap deal to produce all of those postcards and mail them

throughout the state. That’s a substantial undertaking.� The Kansas Chamber of Commerce and AFP deny collaborating with the postcards, though they share the same policy view as CrosslandMacha’s organization. The alliance sent mailers to House members last week supporting repeal of the state’s standards, which require utility companies to get 20 percent of their power from renewable sources by 2020. AFP and other groups tried unsuccessfully to convince legislators to repeal the standards before the 2014 session ended early on May 3. Kansas Senior Consumer Alliance said in the postcards to legislators that keeping the
renewable standards would drive up electric rates for older residents. The address on the cards is that of Crossland-Macha, a conservative GOP activist from Iola. She is the sister of Ivan Crossland, the chairman of the Kansas Chamber of Commerce. Alan Cobb, former state director of AFP in Kansas, is the lobbyist for Kansas Senior Consumer Alliance. Cobb and Crossland-Macha denied AFP had any ties to the legislative postcards. Glendening said he was asked what the process was for organizing a group and suggested Alderson to help. “It was a personal thing. It was not an AFP thing. She approached me, ‘How do you this?’� Glendening said.

care. I delivered medicine at the pharmacy and I worked there last summer. I’m working there again this summer. I’ve enjoyed it.� McIntosh chose Emporia State because one of his brothers, Brian, went to the school there. He also has another older brother, Steve, and an older sister, Katarina. Judy, his mother, is a counselor at Lincoln and McKinley elementary schools. Gene, his father, is the pastor at Calvary Methodist Church. As far as high school goes, McIntosh is happy that it’s over, since he

Although, he does admit that college will be a little intimidating. “I’m happy and relieved (that high school is over),� McIntosh said. “It’s kind of scary though, going onto college. Just having to make more decisions for yourself, kind of growing up it seems.�
While at high school McIntosh was a member of the National Honor Society. He also participated on many of Iola’s sports teams. “I think I’ll miss the sports because I was always involved,� McIntosh said. “I played football, basketball and ran track. It will be weird not having an activity to always be apart of.�
it not only offers the degree programs he was interested in, but also they came with incentive. “They offered me great scholarships and I’m still going to pursue football and track,� Kauth said. On the high school football team, Kauth played wing back, which is a dual running back and wide receiver, and defensive back. He will be a wide receiver at Bethel. For high school track, he ran 110-meter high hurdles, 300-meter intermediate hurdles, 4x4 relay and high jump. At Bethel, he plans on doing the 110-meter high hurdles and 400-meter hurdles. Kauth was involved in multiple student organizations at IHS. He was a member of I Club, was vice president for National Honor Society, an officer in FFA, a member of Crime Stoppers and most notably, the student body president of student council. “This year I was representing the school, not just the class,� Kauth

Bring back our girls The poignancy is not lost that on the eve of Mother’s Day almost 300 girls are hostages of Nigerian terrorists. Many are to be sold as child brides, the others as prostitutes. The perpetrators are members of Boko Haram, a Taliban-style group. The armed men raided a girls’ school, saying their education was against Islamic law. The irony of their fate today takes your breath away. And it’s not only girls. Boys, too, are kidnapped and forced into slavery as soldiers or miners. The Nigerian government wants the world to look the other way. Its oil resources make it the most prosperous of Africa. In 2012, its economy grew 6.7 percent. In my mind, that’s blood money. A government that puts a priority on industry over the welfare and safety of its people is negligent. To illustrate the point, Nigeria’s first lady said the reports of the kidnappings were fabricated in an attempt to smear the government.
Susan Lynn Register editor
In his reign as president, Goodluck Jonathan, has done nothing to curtail the atrocities of the Boko Haram. In the last five years its forces have killed an estimated 4,000 Nigerians. On the day the school was raided, the entire town was ravaged with more than 300 people slaughtered. PRESIDENT Jonathan, whose outsized ego prevents admission of trouble, has denied the outside world’s requests to intervene. It’s only now with worldwide attention focused on the wide-scale kidnappings that Nigeria is beginning to sense the outrage and the campaign to Bring Back Our Girls.

or lawlessness, makes it harder to contain polio’s spread. Emergency polio situations also have cropped up in other Asia, Middle Eastern and African nations. While the outbreak is minuscule in comparison to the planet’s population — 68 documented cases this year compared to 24 at the same time a year ago — it needs to be dealt with immediately through ongoing vaccinations and containing those affected so they don’t carry the virus
elsewhere. The disease is compatible with water and the virus has been found in sewer systems. The world was on the cusp of becoming polio-free when the latest cases were identified. With cost of the eradication program being nearly $1 billion a year, some want to walk away. But, giving the dreaded virus a foothold is wrong. A handful of cases today, when ignored, quickly could spread.

I remember my mother’s prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life. — Abraham Lincoln
In the 1950s polio was scary, because it mostly gripped children and in severe cases led to having to spend time — often weeks or months — in an iron lung. Hospital wards were filled with polio victims at the height of outbreaks in the 1940s and 1950s. The iron lungs helped a person breathe when muscle control had been lost or the process of breathing was too much for the patient’s physical ability. Thirty years ago, with Rotary International at the forefront, efforts began to eradicate polio, through worldwide provision of vaccine. The project has been extremely successful. Now, like a bolt out of the blue, polio is making a comeback, and in countries that had been free of the affliction, including Syria and Iraq. That each of those countries is gripped by civil war
Congresswoman Jenkins dismissive of equal pay campaign In mid-April, 2nd District Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins was in Topeka celebrating the success of a local woman entrepreneur. During an event at the entrepreneur’s company, Rep. Jenkins spoke about the Paycheck Fairness Act, the legislative charade of the moment in the U.S. Senate designed to mobilize liberals and infuriate conservatives. The bill’s intent was to further the Lily Ledbetter law signed in January 2009. The Paycheck Fairness Act sought to eliminate the unjustifiable wage gaps between women and their male counterparts in the workforce by compelling employers to make adjustments to differential pay rates for the same work. The defeat of the bill was certain, but it prompted Jenkins to aggressively advocate for the Republican brand of fair treatment. The news story reported, “Jenkins said the Paycheck Fairness Act also insulted women’s intelligence because it implied they needed government help to ensure
Insight Kansas Mark Peterson
they were treated fairly. ‘…No one’s going to tell me that you and I are not smart enough to stand up for ourselves.’” Abundant evidence exists that the discriminatory wage differential is very real. Of all workers who make minimum wage or subminimum wage, 49 percent are unmarried women according to Paige Gardner of the Voter Participation Project. Never married mothers make up about half of female-headed households and 46 percent of them are 30 and younger. In 2011 their median household income was the lowest among all families with children, $17,400, according to the Pew Foundation’s social trends analysis project. These are the jobs with the
least time flexibility, fewest fringe benefits, and highest turnover rates. These women must be reassured to learn that a little moxie, to add to the intelligence they already share with the Congresswoman, will transform their families’ economic destinies. Just show ’em you won’t stand for it, and fair pay will follow — rugged individualism and grit is all it takes! If personal confirmation is necessary, find a 20-something woman with a GED, a baby, and an absent male partner. Ask her about her expectations in a confrontation over fair pay with her supervisor on the night shift at Walmart. Jenkins bears close attention when she talks about the Paycheck Fairness Act. She’s vice-chair of the House Republican Conference which, according to its website, makes her fifth in the ranking U.S. House Republican leadership. As such she is a significant voice of party policy positions. Close to Speaker John
No one’s going to tell me that you and I are not smart enought to stand up for ourselves. — Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins, on how the Paycheck Fairness Act insults a woman’s intelligence.
Boehner, Jenkins is one of the “insiders” on Republican Party congressional policies. Thus, when she calls the Paycheck Fairness Act a “wedge issue,” Kansas women who work for others and earn a paycheck to support their families should be paying attention. They should also recognize that existing federal pay equity laws call for selfhelp by those who experience discrimination, and punitive remedies are rarely won from employers with even the worst records. Any woman who has worked a job where the boys get paid more than she; where raises and advancements go to the men because they don’t take sick days when their school
child is home, or there’s a “snow day;” or where she was told that failure to work “off the clock” or “that crunch weekend” was why she was being passed over for a raise or a promotion should think carefully about Jenkins’ claim of sisterhood similarity. What the congresswoman failed to say as she praised intelligent women strong enough to defend their own rights on the job was that, absent a Paycheck Fairness Act, only women with very deep pockets and a good lawyer on retainer are her equal in being able “to stand up for ourselves.” Dr. Mark Peterson teaches political science at the college level in Topeka.

Kansas briefs Kansas loosens rules on petitions
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas is ending a ban on non-residents circulating election petitions that hasn’t been enforced for almost four years because a federal judge declared it unconstitutional. Gov. Sam Brownback signed a bill Thursday repealing the requirement that petition circulators be Kansas residents. The change takes effect next week. Members of political organizations may circulate petitions to
gain party recognition from the state so their candidates can have the affiliation listed on the ballot. People also circulate petitions to recall elected officials, and some candidates circulate petitions to get on the ballot. The residency requirement was challenged in 2010 by members of the Constitution Party, and a federal judge said it violated their right to free association. The attorney general's office also had concluded that the law was unconstitutional.

Tech firm pleads guilty to fraud KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas information technology firm has admitted bringing foreign employees into the U.S. under a specialty worker program when it did not have work readily available for them. Court documents show Overland Parkbased iNEX Technologies pleaded guilty Thursday to visa fraud in a deal with the government to pay $552,601 in restitution and a $30,000 fine. The company admit-
ted in its plea agreement that it filed paperwork under the H-IB special worker program claiming foreign workers would be paid when they arrived. However, iNEX acknowledged it would not pay them until they found work with one of its contract vendors. In a separate case, the government also deferred prosecution of company owners Preetham Kodiripaka and Sudhir Dodda. They did not immediately return a phone message left at their office.

RELEASED TO VENDOR
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — The government’s first forecast of the season anticipates the smallest winter wheat crop in Kansas since 1996. The National Agricultural Statistics Service estimated production this year at 260.4 million bushels, based on May 1 crop conditions. The report was done before this week’s searing temperatures descended on the already drought-stressed crop. The production estimate is down 18 percent from last year. Forecast average yields are 31 bushels per acre, down seven bushels an acre from last year and also the lowest since 1996. The official estimate is in line with last week's prediction from the Wheat Quality Council Hard Winter Wheat Tour of 260 million bushels in Kansas.

Athletes golden Rains cut short Thursday’s Crest Invitational Track Meet at Iola’s Riverside Park, but not before several area athletes made their marks in most impressive fashion. Crest’s Rene Rodriguez continued his romp through the local sprinting scene by winning the 100-, 200- and 400-meter dashes. Walker Harred of Southern Coffey County did the same in the discus and in shot put, and

SCC’s Aaron True, one of the top Class 1A javelin throwers in the state, won his event by more than 40 feet. Hunter Pankey of SCC had the top mark in the boys high jump.

CHANUTE — Iola High’s doubles team of Bryan Mueller and Colby Works is state-bound. The duo won their first two matches of Friday’s Class 4A Regional Tournament, guaranteeing a top-four finish and a berth in the Class 4A State Tournament next weekend in Winfield. Regionals action — and a potential regional championship — resumes at 10 o’clock this morning at the Chanute High School tennis courts. Mueller and Works opened the tournament as the fourth seed and defeated 13-seed Danny Benavides and Christian Villamar of Chanute, 6-0, 6-1. They then swept past Ottawa High’s Vince Sylvester and Alex Reed, the

Iola’s repeat hopes hanging by thread By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register
LACYGNE — Mother Nature gave Iola High a reprieve in its faint hopes for a second consecutive Pioneer League baseball championship Thursday. The Mustangs (11-7) trailed host Prairie View 12-3 in the fourth inning when a round of thunderstorms forced umpires to suspend the game. The game will be resumed at 1 p.m. Monday, with Prairie View coming to bat in the bottom of the fourth. If the Mustangs can come back and win, they’ll face
top seed Wellsville in the championship later Monday, at about 6 o’clock. A loss relegates Iola to the third-place game against Osawatomie at about 4. Head coach Mark Percy isn’t giving up hope on a comeback, noting Prairie View may not be able to pitch its ace when action resumes. The Buffalos’ Jordan Fulks had held the Mustangs in check for the most part before the rains came. “We’ll see who they come back with,” Percy said. PRIOR TO THE rain, Iola rode the hot pitching of freshman Ethan Scheibmeir
to a 10-0 victory over Anderson County. Scheibmeir shut down the Bulldogs on five hits, striking out seven. “We needed that,” Percy said. “We’ve been looking for a third pitcher besides Trent (Latta) and Derrick (Weir.) He really gave us a lift.” Meanwhile, Iola pushed across single runs in the first and third innings before erupting for four in the fifth and four more in the sixth. Scheibmeir singled, stole a base and scored on Drew Faulhaber’s sacrifice bunt to open the scoring. Ben Cooper See IOLA | Page B5

Fillies split at Wellsville; will play Monday for third By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register
WELLSVILLE — Iola High’s softball team saw both ends of the spectrum Thursday. The Fillies opened Pioneer League Tournament play with a 14-4 romp over Anderson County, keyed by an eight-run third inning and the pitching of Mackenzie Weseloh. But the momentum ended in the second game, when host Wellsville scored early and often in a 16-0 romp.
The split puts Iola (8-11) in Monday’s third-place game against Osawatomie at Prairie View High School in LaCygne, host site. First pitch is scheduled for about 4:30 p.m. The Fillies took full advantage of free bases in the first inning against Anderson County to take a 3-0 lead. Halie Cleaver, Hannah Endicott and Shelby Reno all walked with one out. Jadyn Sigg drilled an RBI single. The Lady Bulldogs cut the gap to See FILLIES | Page B6

band concert — also competed. On the girls’ side, Emily Klubek won the 3200-meter run in 13 minutes, 33 seconds. For the Mustangs, Braden Plumlee took bronze in the pole vault and teamed with Jeremy Spears, Travis Hermstein and Dareece Bell to take third in the 4x800meter relay. Hermstein and Gage Cleaver took fourth and fifth, respectively, in the pole vault. The JV boys’ 4x100 relay team was missing Darius Greenawalt and Jonathan Tidd because of the band concert. Greenawalt and Plumlee both competed in field events before leaving for the concert. “We ran Mason Ingle with a shot putter (R.J. Holding), a pole vaulter (Cleaver) and a discus thrower (Bell),” Smith noted. The event was cut short following the 200-meter dashes as rains arrived. “We didn’t place as well in some of our field events, but we had more athletes place in the top six than in our previous meets,” Marmaton Valley track coach Russell Plaschka said. “Casey Allen ran her personal best at 2:58 in the 800, and Trent Johnson had a personal best in the discus at 103’7”. Even with the meet being cut short due to weather, I was very pleased with the effort our student athletes displayed.” Results follow:

day, but still came up short on the scoreboard. The Wildcats rallied for four runs in the top of the seventh against host Oswego, but could draw no closer than the 11-7 final score. The host Indians then rallied for five in the bottom of the sixth inning to break a 7-7 deadlock in a 12-7 victory. The losses drop Marmaton Valley to 2-14 overall and 2-8 in Three Rivers League play. “We fielded the ball better than we have been, but we still had some costly errors,”
Wildcat head coach Derek Scharff said. “We did a great job hitting the ball at the top of the lineup, but the bottom couldn’t get anything going to contribute. We need to be more consistent throughout the game.” Sage Kress and Chris Bowman both had three singles and two runs in the opener. Bowman also had an RBI. Meanwhile, Sage Hall had two singles, two runs and an RBI. Keagan Boyd added a single, double, two RBIs and a run. Gage Adams had

Valley rallied for two in the third, three in the fourth and two in the fifth to tie the score at 7-7. But that led up to the fateful sixth inning, “one of our worst innings of the year,” Scharff said. All five runs stemmed from Wildcat errors. Hall had three singles, a walk, two runs and RBI. Kress singled twice with a run and RBI. Boyd had a double, walk, two RBIs and a run. Adams had a single and RBI. Mike Beggs singled and scored.

Humboldt sweeps Eagles HUMBOLDT — Humboldt High’s pitching maintained its choke hold over opposing batters Thursday. Starting pitcher Austin Beeman got things off on the right foot with a one-hitter in a 9-0 win over visiting Uniontown. Jake Haviland was nearly as impressive, striking out seven in five innings in a 12-2 romp. The wins keep Humboldt’s record perfect on the season at 16-0. The Cubs broke open a scoreless deadlock with two in the bottom of the third. Hunter Murrow singled with one out. Caleb Vanatta was hit by a pitch. Both scored on an Eagle fielding error. Caleb D’Armond’s oneout double was followed by an Austin Murrow single, creating two more runs — Murrow’s on a steal of home — to push the lead to 4-0 in the fourth. Haviland’s two-run double highlighted the fifth inning. Murrow’s sac fly scored Grayson Pearish for a 7-0 advantage. Jacob Carpenter and Pearish added RBIs in the sixth for the final score. Carpenter singled and doubled. Haviland and D’Armond also doubled. Hunter Murrow, Pearish, Zach Vanatta and Alex Murrow all singled. Beeman gave up just

PHOTO COURTESY OF MIKE MYER one hit and two walks to go with his eight strikeouts. THE CUBS didn’t wait as long to sieze control of the nightcap, scoring five in the first and three in the second. The fourrun fourth inning allowed officials to call the game via run rule when Uniontown went down
without a whimper in the fifth. Carpenter and Caleb Vanatta both singled twice. Kason Siemens, Zach Vanatta and Alex Murrow all doubled. Haviland tripled. Hunter Murrow and D’Armond both singled. Haviland gave up three hits in five innings without a walk.
Crest athletes win TRL league titles ARMA — Crest Middle School’s eighthgrade boys brought home a Three Rivers League Championship Tuesday from the league meet hosted by Northeast. The Lady Lancers, meanwhile, took second among seventh-grade teams. Among the highlights: Gage Adams is TRL champ in the eighthgrade boys shot put, while Chad Classen won the 75-meter hurdles. The 4x200-meter relay team of Kadyn Utley, Caleb Stephens, Jose Madrid and Tavyn Springston also won gold. The seventh-grade girls set a TRL meet record in the 4x200-meter relay. Kim Madrid, Camryn Strickler, Breyanna Benjamin and Regan Godderz finished in 2 minutes, 5.1 seconds. Godderz added to her gold medal collection by winning the 100- and 200-meter dashes, as did Shyla McCutchen in the 1600 meters. Godderz, Benjamin, Strickler and
Madrid also won the 4x100-meter relay. Results:

Lady Cubs roll past Uniontown HUMBOLDT — Humboldt High’s softball team was a model of devastating efficiency Thursday. The Lady Cubs saw all nine starters get hits in both games of their doubleheader, including five who hit overthe-fence home runs, against visiting Uniontown. Meanwhile, starting pitcher Courtney Richey was her usual dominating self, allowing a combined two hits with 17 strikeouts in 11-1 and 16-1 victories. The wins kept Humboldt’s record spotless at 16-0. The Lady Cubs scored in every inning but one to put both games away early. In the opener, Breanna Kline had three singles and a stolen base, Kayle Riebel had two singles, a double and three RBIs. Mallory Roush rapped out two doubles with an RBI. Richey had a double and RBI, as did Jaci Ross. Delaney Umholtz had the only home run of the game. Morgan Morris doubled. Kasey Beeman had a single, while Makaylah McCall had two singles and an RBI. Richey allowed one run on one hit with nine strikeouts in the opener. After somehow failing to score in the first inning of game 2, the Lady Cubs made up for it in a big way, scoring four in the second and sixth in both the third

FORT SCOTT — Humboldt High’s Robbie Sellman picked up a pair of second-place finishes this week, taking the runner-up position Thursday at the Uniontown Invitational. Sellman shot an 82 at the Fort Scott Country Club. On Tuesday, Sellman carded a 78 to take second at the Neodesha Invitational. Meanwhile, Yates Center High’s Remi Wagner and Jon Barnes both hit career-best scores Thursday at Fort Scott. Wagner’s 92 was good for 10th; Barnes shot a 112 for 34th. Meanwhile, Nick Schemper finished 15th with a 97. “Remi continues to have a well-balanced game,” Wildcat golf coach Kevin Barnes said. “Jon is starting to be more consistent with his driver. Nick shot a 43 on his back nine, but had out-of-bounds problems on a couple of holes on the front nine.” The Wildcat junior varsity also was in Fort Scott Tuesday for the Uniontown JV Invitational. Cheyenne Gill shot a 66 over nine holes to finish in 16th place. Eric Updegrove shot an 82, good for 25th.

Chiefs tap Ford for D-line By DAVE SKRETTA The Associated Press
Above, Iola High’s Halie Cleaver safely dives back into first base Thursday during the Pioneer League Tournament. Below, the Fillies’ Mackenzie Weseloh pitches in a 14-4 victory over Anderson County. Iola later lost to Wellsville and will resume tournament play Monday in the third-place game against Osawatomie. REGISTER/ RICHARD LUKEN
Fillies
Continued from B1
Lady Bulldogs cut the gap to 3-2 before Taylor Heslop led off the second with a single. She scored on Endicott’s ground ball for a 4-2 cushion. It was 4-3 when the floodgates opened in the top of the third. Every Iola batter reached base at least once in the frame, aided by five errors and five walks. Ashlie Shields’ two-run single was the big blow. Two walks and an error led to two more Iola runs in the fifth. That was more than enough for Weseloh, who gave up seven hits with three strikeouts. Shields had a single, as did Weseloh and Sigg.

their incumbents. Instead, he praised the flexibility that Ford gives the Chiefs, especially on passing downs. “I think it’s more mixing him in with that group. You need as many of those guys as you can possibly get out there,” Reid said. “I can probably tell you if he wasn’t the quickest defensive lineman off the ball in this draft, he was the closest to it.” Perhaps as fast as Jadeveon Clowney, who went first overall to Houston. In fact, Ford said at the scouting combine that he was a better prospect than the former South Carolina star. The Chiefs nearly had a chance to land Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel, who went one pick earlier to the Cleveland Browns. Manziel could have given the Chiefs some leverage in their ongoing negotiations with Alex Smith, who also will become a free

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Nobody seemed to think that the Kansas City Chiefs were going to choose a defensive end with their firstround pick in the NFL draft Thursday night. That included Dee Ford, the one they ultimately selected. Despite glaring holes at wide receiver and in the defensive backfield, the Chiefs grabbed a potential replacement for Tamba Hali or Justin Houston by taking Ford, a pass-rushing specialist out of Auburn who they believe can make a smooth transition to outside linebacker. “I’m definitely surprised it was Kansas City. I’m not surprised it was the first round,” Ford said. “I haven’t spoken to Kansas City as much. But in all honesty, all the vets I talked to in the NFL told me it would be a team I had not spoken to.” That doesn’t mean Ford is unfamiliar with Kansas City. He said he’s a “big fan” of Hali, who turns 31 this season and is winding down his career, and that he hopes to learn from fellow pass rusher Houston, who is eligible for free agency after the season. Reid declined to say the Chiefs were planning to replace one of
agent after next season. The Chiefs and Smith’s representatives have been talking about a long-term contract, but the two sides still appear far apart. There is no heir apparent already on the roster. “When you’re sitting at the 23rd pick you’re looking at everybody. Absolutely, we checked the quarterbacks out,” Reid said. “But by no means did it have anything to do with Alex’s play or contract or anything else. That had nothing to do with it.” The Chiefs traded their second-round pick to San Francisco last year in the deal that landed Smith, which means Kansas City won’t pick again until the third round. And with the draft as deep as it’s been in years, the Chiefs were open to trading down to acquire more selections. “I would tell you the phone was ringing, probably for the kid that went before us,” Reid said. “They don’t tell you exactly who they want, but the phones were ringing.” Ford will be moving from defensive end to outside linebacker in the Chiefs’ defensive scheme, and he’ll be asked to drop into pass coverage for the first time. But it is the same kind of switch that Hali made when he was drafted by Kansas City.

Scientists working to ID victims from 9/11 NEW YORK (AP) — Thousands of vacuumsealed plastic pouches filled with bits of bone rest in a Manhattan laboratory. These are the last unidentified fragments of the people who died in the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. On Saturday, the 7,930 pouches are to be moved in a solemn procession from the city medical examiner’s office to the new trade center site. They
will be kept in a bedrock repository 70 feet underground in the new Sept. 11 Memorial Museum that opens May 21. The remains will be accessible only to families of the dead and to the forensic scientists who are still trying to match the bone slivers to DNA from the more than 1,000 victims who never came home and have never been identified. “Our commitment to
return the remains to the families is as great today as it was in 2001,” said Mark Desire, who oversees the four-member World Trade Center team in the city’s Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. The death toll stemming from the attacks at the World Trade Center stands at 2,753. Of those, 1,115 victims, or 41 percent, have not been identified through a DNA
match to items provided by families — toothbrushes, combs, clothing or swabs from relatives. With ever-advancing technology yielding results that were impossible a dozen years ago, the unique genetic code gleaned from the bits of bone is the only hope for families waiting for anything tangible to officially confirm what they already know: Their loved one is dead.

Yates Center thinclads hit high marks in Cherryvale CHERRYVALE — Yates Center High’s track teams wrapped up their regular seasons with a flourish Thursday. Both the Yates Center boys and girls teams took second overall at the Cherryvale Invitational. The girls’ score is even more impressive, considering the Wildcats have only seven girls competing, head coach Dan Berg said. “Both our teams did great today,” Berg said. “Caney just swamps us with numbers.” Caney Valley easily
won both the boys and girls team titles. “Our seven girls scored as well as seven can score,” he said. “We scored on all events we entered.” He praised the efforts of Mindi Holloway, Rylie Albert, MaKayla Jones and Katie Hatch throughout the season. Holloway took gold in the long jump and 800-meter run, Hatch won the 300-meter hurdles, and Jones was best in the shot put. For the boys, Yates Center’s Brett Holloway won both the 1600- and 3200-meter runs, while
leaping a personal-best 40 feet, 4 inches in taking silver in the triple jump. Drake Busteed continued his 800-meter dominance by winning gold. Yates Center’s 4x800- and 4x400-meter relay teams also were victorious. The Wildcats’ 4x100-meter relay team took silver. “We are looking forward to league, and their continued success,” Berg said. “Bryce (Leon) has really come through in the 100 and 200 this year. Drake has looked very strong all season. It is great to get him back from injury. Kal Hamm, who has
thrived in the high jump and in hurdles races all season, did not compete Thursday because of the number of meets he had already entered this season. “Our focus turns to the Tri-Valley League meet and regionals,” Berg said. “We need to continue our success to finish strong, and take as many people as we can to qualify for state.” Results follow:
Cherryvale Invitational Boys Team scores: 1. Caney Valley, 161; 2. Yates Center, 101 100 meters — 6. Bryce Leon, 11.8; NA Tyler Keenan, 12.1 200 meters — 4. Leon, 24.55 400 meters — 3. Mike Bruner,

QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers
HOT TOPICS: 3 ISSUES GENERATING A BUZZ
Eyeing the Future Dale Earnhardt Jr. was the odds-on favorite to win Sunday’s Aaron’s 499 at Talladega Superspeedway. He led 26 of 188 laps in his No. 88 Chevrolet, but late in the race gave up the lead to make a pit stop for tires and fuel. He didn’t have enough gas to finish the 500-mile race. Earnhardt’s game plan at that point was to make a late charge through the field, but he didn’t get the chance because there were just too many cars on the lead lap. The Daytona 500 champion wound up finishing 26th in one of the fastest cars on the 2.66mile tri-oval. “You have to have that track position at the end and we just didn’t have it,” Earnhardt said. “I knew we were going to be sitting there in 15th at the end and get boxed in or wrecked. “We missed a lot of guys that crashed and didn’t tear up our car, so we will go to Daytona with this car and try to manage a strategy where we are not giving up 25 positions in the last 30 laps of the race.” And this is where you sense a little irritation in Earnhardt’s voice. “You have to be up front the entire race if you can,” he said. “Those guys at the end, the No. 15 (Clint Bowyer), No. 16 (Greg Biffle) and No. 11 (Denny Hamlin), — well the 15 drove up through there. But the 11 and the 16 — those guys managed it real good.” Earnhardt said he didn’t want to wreck a car capable of winning July’s Daytona Coke Zero 400. “Talladega is three-wide forever,” he said. “You know they’re going to crash, and I can’t afford to wreck anymore here. So, you’ve just got to pick your battles.”
APOLOGY ACCEPTED?
AP/RAINIER EHRHARDT
CONTRACT-YEAR RACIN’
With the exception of hungry towtruck drivers, no one was happy with Brad Keselowski.
Greg Biffle is giving it all he’s got and then some. He was disappointed he didn’t get the win at Talladega, finishing second to Denny Hamlin on a last-lap yellow flag. The 44-year-old driver is in a contract year, and a few wins would make negotiations much easier. He scored three wins over the 2012-13 Cup Series seasons. “We still have some work to do, but it sure would have been nice to get a win toward the Chase, but we’ve got some great race tracks coming up as well,” he said. “That would have been nice.”
Does the Talladega win finally get Denny Hamlin’s season pointed in the right direction? You’re tempted to say yes, of course, because the good vibes always get in high gear when you spend a Sunday evening picking champagnesoaked confetti out of your hair. But let’s temper the “Here Comes Denny!” talk for a couple of reasons. 1. It was Talladega. Surely we’ve all learned that you can’t equate restrictor-plate success with overall NASCAR mastery; and 2. It was Denny Hamlin. Given his run of “luck” the past couple of years, you might want to take a wait-and-see approach.
Where’s Keselowski pointed?
AP/RAINIER EHRHARDT
The good news: Junior avoided all the trouble at Talladega. The bad news: He was so far back, the late wrecks were practically over the horizon.
Somewhere far from harm’s way, we hope, for everyone’s sake. Brad Keselowski might lead the free world in Twitter followers, but he gained no friends Sunday at Talladega. First, he appeared to cut down too soon on Danica Patrick while passing for the lead — oops. Then, in a move that only a die-hard Kez fan would love, he was racing for all he’s worth among the lead pack, late in the race, when he spun and ruined plans for a lot of contenders. Oh, did we mention he was six laps down at the time?
Brad Keselowski triggered a wicked multi-car accident by racing aggressively with the leaders despite being six laps down after an early tango with Danica Patrick. Matt Kenseth was eliminated in the melee. “Well, I will say one thing: If it was the other way around and it was anybody else except for him, we’d all be getting lectured,” Kenseth said of Keselowski. Keselowski didn’t apologize until he left the track and sent out this tweet: “Hate causing the big one” and “Been on the other side of the shoe and it stinks.” We will see how bad it stinks Saturday night at Kansas Speedway.
Careless, or just competitive? When you think about it, the line between the two really isn’t that thin. When battling to win at Talladega, it might be a tightrope, but six laps down, the margin of error is wider than I-95. Get out of the way next time.
