Hundreds mulled around West Street Saturday for the Farm-City Days car show. Everything from brand-new Camaros to 80-year-old farm trucks glimmered in the sun.

One show entry, however, was a little rough around the edges. That’s just how Michael Schrick wants it, too.

Schrick, Ottawa, brought in his 1926 Model T Coupe for the show. Its rusted body (complete with pasted over bullet holes) has a “Bonnie and Clyde thing going on.” It has a Frankenstein thing going on as well.

Parts of the classic car have been made from dozens of different vehicles. The motor is from a 1984 Crown Victory, and the various other body parts come from vehicles of the era, as well as more contemporary parts. He even used tractor headlights.

Vendors on the Iola town square stayed bundled in their booths Saturday morning as they greeted Farm-City Days attendees.

The square was littered with an assortment of craft vendors. Some were familiar to the annual festival but there were some newcomers.

Mickey Hicks, Iola, displayed her craftwork this year for the first time. Hicks’ booth consisted of an assortment of wood art and quilts.

Three Lawmakers to tour higher ed. campuses injured in collision STATE

By JOHN HANNA Associated Press

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Coming off a divisive budget debate this spring, Kansas legislators and higher education officials hope fact-finding visits to campuses this month by lawmakers will lessen tensions, but the groups have different goals ahead of the tour.

The Republican-controlled Legislature reduced funding for universities, community colleges and technical colleges by 3 percent overall for the fiscal year that began in July and kept it at about that level for the next fiscal year.

When the Board of Regents imposed tuition increases for the fall, it pointedly calculated how much less the hikes would have been with no cuts.

Higher education officials said the tour starting Tuesday allows them to educate legislators about campus needs, showcase strong programs and demonstrate efficient operations.

“I’m hopeful that the tour will help them understand the good management decisions that are being made,” Fort Hays State University President Ed Hammond said during an interview.

The conservative Republicans who control both legislative chambers want to build relationships as well. But they’ve also committed the state to cutting personal income taxes, believing it

will stimulate economic growth, and are looking for information that helps them rein in spending.

“Maybe this will give us a dialogue between the Legislature and the presidents and the faculty,” said Rep. Kyle Hoffman, a Coldwater Republican on the House

state hospitals have allowed legislators to judge conditions for themselves and talk to workers, inmates and patients.

House Appropriations and Senate Ways and Means committee members leave the statehouse early Tuesday for trips to the Washburn Institute of Technology in Topeka and Emporia State University. They’ll tour another eight campuses over five additional days, ending Oct. 30.

Lawmakers submitted dozens of detailed questions to higher education officials about universities’ budgeting ahead of the tour, and they’ve received more than 200 pages of answers. But in the past, tours of campuses, prisons and

ing of what the legislators are looking for,” said Board of Regents member Ed McKechnie, a southeast Kansas railroad executive who served 10 years in the Kansas House as a Democrat.

In cutting higher education funding, Republican legislators defied GOP Gov. Sam Brownback, who’d pushed them to preserve flat funding. Lawmakers’ decisions cost the campuses $46 million in state funds over two years.

Total state funding for the higher education system will be about $751 million for the current and next fiscal years.

That’s a drop of more than $100 million See TOUR | Page A4

General receives KU award

Obituary Mary Fewins Mary Gladys Fewins passed away peacefully at her home Thursday, Oct. 17, 2013.

Gladys was born Nov. 22, 1916, on a farm near Elsmore, to William Otto and Alice Gertrude Shoup Boler. After her mother’s death, she was raised by her father, older sister Wilma, and her Grandma Shoup. After her sister married and her grandmother died, Mary Fewins she was on her own with her brother Floyd and father. She spent time in the fields with them and time with her neighbor, Daisy Ashby, who later became her stepmother. Gladys often said she could not have asked for a better father, sister and brother.

On Oct. 12, 1935, she married Bert Fewins at Fort Scott. They lived on a farm west of Elsmore for two years and then moved across the road to Bert’s home place when his folks moved to town in 1938. She has lived there ever since. She worked on the farm and raised eight children, who survive: Marjorie Davis and husband Paul, Chanute, Dick Fewins and wife Vera, Elsmore, Gary Fewins and wife Meredith, Moran, Jim Fewins and wife Janice, Redfield, Dave Fewins, Humboldt, Janice Rake, Redfield, Cheryl Seymour and husband Mark, Ottawa, and Bill Fewins, Savonburg. She had 20 grandchildren, 41 greatgrandchildren, three great-great-grandchildren and her beloved nieces, nephews and families.

Bert died in 1995. She was also preceded in death by her brother, Floyd Boler; sister, Wilma Parrott; step-sister, Carolyn Colwell; daughter-in-law, Pam Fewins; son-in-law, Carl Grady; grandson, Mike Moran, and great-grandson Eric Neely.

Gladys was an avid quilter and hand-quilted more than 100 quilts as gifts of love to family members. In her mother’s obituary, Gertie Shoup was described as “a woman of many virtues, quiet, unassuming and congenial, and was held in the very highest esteem of the community.” Gladys was her mother’s daughter.

Special thanks to her primary caregiver, son Bill, whose care enabled her to live out her days at the family farm she so loved.

Funeral services will be at 11 a.m., Wednesday at Friends Home Lutheran Church in Savonburg. Burial will follow in the Old Elsmore Cemetery. The family will greet friends on Tuesday evening from 6 to 8 p.m., at Feuerborn Family Funeral Home in Moran.

Baker closer to new president LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — The pool of applicants vying to be Baker University’s newest president has been narrowed from 72 to nine.

The Lawrence Journal-World reports the finalists will fly to Kansas City in November for face-to-face interviews with the search committee. Afterward, the committee plans to invite three finalists to campus for two-day interviews and send its recommendation to Baker’s Board of Trustees in Decem-

ber. The goal is to name the next president by year’s end.

The Baldwin City school is looking for a replacement for current President Patricia N. Long. She joined Baker in 2006 and announced in February that she would retire in June 2014.

Committee member Hoot Gibson says the university’s next leader will need an “entrepreneurial spirit” and a firm grasp on modern models of higher education.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — The University of Kansas has given its College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Distinguished Alumni Award to a four-star general who was also a prisoner of war in Vietnam.

Suicides in Kansas raise 30 percent WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — The number of suicides reported in Kansas rose to 505 in 2012, a 30 percent increase in the number of suicides in 2011, according to recently released state data.

New state numbers show that suicides reported in Kansas rose to 505 in 2012, a 30 percent increase in the number of suicides in Kansas in 2011, The Wichita Eagle reported. The figures from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment also show the most common method of suicide by Kansans is firearms, followed by suffocation and poisoning.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Sen. Ted Cruz: One sore loser Even when the GOP Dana loses; it seems to win Milbank WASHINGTON — Ted Cruz did not lose gracefully.

The young senator from Texas, after just nine months on the job, had managed to drag down his Republican Party to historic unpopularity. But as Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., went to the Senate floor Wednesday afternoon to announce a deal that would begin to repair the damage Cruz inflicted, the renegade couldn’t resist one more poke at his leadership.

As McConnell was speaking on the floor about his compromise to end the government shutdown and to avoid a federal default, Cruz marched up to the bank of TV cameras outside the Senate chamber to deliver his own statement. CNN’s Dana Bash told him that the news

Washington Post Writers Group better to savor the attention — as reporters clamored for information. “Will you try to block this?” “What’s your plan?” Reporters and photographers slammed into one another. A tour group was pressed up against a wall. “Oh my God!” a woman screamed.

Cruz’s stroll across the second floor of the Capitol was a tour of the disruption he had caused: Past the office of Sen. John Cornyn, the fellow Texas Republican whose re-election Cruz has refused to en-

I never had any intention of delaying the timing of this vote.

networks were airing McConnell’s speech live. “Do you want to wait until the leaders are done?” she asked.

Cruz did not want to wait.

He launched right into a condemnation of the deal McConnell had negotiated.

“Unfortunately, once again, it appears the Washington establishment is refusing to listen to the American people,” the Texan intoned, his protruding chin bouncing as the vitriol poured from the lips above it. “The United States Senate has stayed with the traditional approach of the Washington establishment of maintaining the status quo.”

CNN pulled away from McConnell when the sore loser began talking.

The amount of wreckage Cruz has caused in such a short time is truly awe-inspiring. He has damaged his party, hurt the economy, lowered the nation’s standing and set back the conservative cause. But appearing at the Capitol on Wednesday morning, he wore a broad smile as reporters and cameras surrounded him to learn what further mayhem he was planning.

“Will you filibuster?” called out Nancy Cordes of CBS News.

“I’m heading to this meeting now,” he replied, referring to a session held by McConnell outlining the compromise.

“Was your fight against Obamacare worth it?” asked Politico’s Seung Min Kim. “As I said, I’m heading to this meeting now.”

He walked slowly — the

dorse; alongside the Senate chamber, where he spoke for 21 straight hours last month; past the office of McConnell, whose leadership he had undermined; and down the hall toward the office of House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, against whom Cruz had encouraged a rebellion.

At a dinner at Tortilla Coast restaurant Monday night, he encouraged House Republicans to resist Boehner’s attempts at compromise.

“Cruz-Led Conservatives Put Boehner in Double Bind” was Wednesday’s headline in Roll Call.

As they filed in to hear McConnell’s compromise, Republican senators made little effort to conceal their frus-

tration with Cruz. “This has been a very bad two weeks for the Republican brand, for conservatism,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.

Cruz did make one gesture that acknowledged he may have gone too far: He said he wouldn’t use procedural hurdles to delay a vote on the debt-limit bill, a move that could have forced the nation into default. “I never had any intention of delaying the timing of this vote,” he told a clump of reporters as he emerged from the Senate session, even though he had declined to disavow such a delay when asked only an hour earlier.

But otherwise, Cruz refused to admit defeat. “The American people rose up and spoke with an overwhelming voice and at least at this stage Washington isn’t listening to them,” he said. “But this battle will continue.” (Actually, what’s overwhelming is the 70 percent of Americans who think Republicans put politics ahead of the country in the shutdown.)

Cruz left the reporters after a few minutes, but when he noticed the TV lights and microphones outside the Senate chamber, he stopped and reversed himself. After repeating his statement for the cameras, he took a question from CNN’s Bash, who pointed out that there has been “a lot of bruising political warfare internally, and you’ve got nothing for it.”

“I disagree with the premise,” Cruz informed her. He said the House vote to defund Obamacare, rejected by the Senate, was “a remarkable victory.”

It was a revealing statement: For Cruz, the victory is not the achievement but the fight.

Just hours before a default on our national debt and sixteen days into a wrenching federal government shutdown, it now appears that the barest measure of sanity has prevailed in Washington. The Senate has reached a deal to reopen the government at current funding levels through Jan. 15 and to pass a debt ceiling hike though Feb. 7. The measure is expected to clear the House tonight with scant but necessary Republican support.

Because the deal only includes minor concessions, the Beltway consensus is that it represents a resounding defeat for Republicans, who “surrendered” their original demands to defund or delay Obamacare. In the skirmish of opinion polls, that may be true, for now. But in the war of ideas, the Senate deal is but a stalemate, one made almost entirely on conservative terms. The GOP now goes into budget talks with sequestration as the new baseline, primed to demand longerterm cuts in Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. And they still hold the gun of a U.S. default to the nation’s head in the next debt ceiling showdown.

Surrender? Any more “victories” like this and Democrats will end up paying tribute into the GOP’s coffers.

This debate started in 2011 when the president accepted that he couldn’t get support for jobs programs and instead called for “balanced” deficit reduction that included tax increases on corporations and the wealthy and spending cuts. In response, Republicans threatened to default on America’s debts, forcing through the Budget Control

Act, which cut nearly $1 trillion in spending over 10 years with no tax increases and exacted another trillion in cuts either by agreement of a “supercommittee” or, failing that, automatic across-the-board cuts of $1.2 trillion over 10 years. Now the Republicans’ “surrender” locks in that sequester while pushing for further reductions to basic safety net programs — all while tax increases remain off the table and the threat of default is still pointed at the country’s head. Tea Party zealots may have lost their bid to torpedo healthcare reform, but the right continues to set the terms of the debate.

This is particularly perverse because austerity only adds to the country’s troubles.

More than 20 million people still need full-time work. Incomes are still stagnant. The top 1 percent continue to capture what little growth there is. The International Monetary Fund says even that will slow, projecting a rate of 1.6 percent growth in the coming months. We are closer to a renewed recession than a healthy recovery. Meanwhile, deficits are falling more rapidly than at any time since the demobilization after World War II. More spending cuts will only cost jobs and slow growth.

WE SHOULD be debating the real challenges ahead.

How do we get the economy moving and create jobs? How do we empower workers to gain a fair share of profits?

Can we forge a global effort to shut down off-shore tax dodges and end the obscenity of multinational companies pocketing millions in profits and paying nothing in taxes?

Will we squander the opportunity to rebuild our decrepit roads, airports and sewers when interest rates are low and labor in abundant supply?

The GOP may be bearing the brunt of the public’s rage, but anger is also directed at Washington and government generally. Nearly eight in ten say the country is seriously off-track. The Tea Party may be plummeting in public esteem, but it is taking government down with it. There is simply no way to rebuild widely shared prosperity without a government with a clear strategy in the global economy. There is no way to make needed public investments and temper the extreme inequality that threatens our democracy without progressive tax reform. The terms of the Republican “surrender” take us in the wrong direction.

Letter to the editor Dear editor,

To the owners in the Chanute area who left a beautiful purebred black cocker spaniel: I saw her at daybreak, running up the driveway toward the veterinarian clinic where I work on Mondays. She was cold, hungry and, most of all, afraid. Her hair was filthy and matted. When I approached her, she ran away.

Several hours later, I saw her again and I was ready, armed with canned dog food and treats. She still ran away, but after several more attempts, I gained her trust.

She followed me into a fenced area where my coworker was able to close the

other gate. The dog let me touch her. She ravenously ate and drank and I was able to carry her inside the clinic and put her in a kennel. She looked petrified.

As the day progressed, she began to snarl and snap at anyone who approached her cage.

When I inquired about this dog the next day, I learned she had been euthanized. Her fear and suffering had overcome her. She would not allow any human to help save her.

If only the owners who dumped her could know what eventually happened to this black cocker spaniel.

Continued from A1 — nearly 12 percent — from the high-water mark of nearly $853 million set by legislators in 2008, before the economic turmoil of the Great Recession forced state officials to cut spending.

And tuition is climbing. The standard rate for a full-time undergraduate student from Kansas at the University of Kansas is nearly 36 percent higher than it was five years ago, and tuition for the same type of student has jumped nearly 32 percent at Kansas State University during the same period.

Regents have said they’ve been forced into imposing larger tuition increases than they’ve wanted to help fill gaps in state funding. In turn, some conservative legislators have suggested that the regents are too quick to hike tuition when it’s possible they could find efficiencies.

“I think there was frustration in both directions,” said Sen. Steve Abrams, an Arkansas City Republican who serves on the Ways and Means Committee and as Education Committee chairman. “We have to have — develop — a common vision of what it means to be educated in the state of Kansas.”

Abrams said he’s hoping for “communication in both directions.” He said he and other legislators see spurring economic growth — a key rationale for the income tax cuts likely to keep budgets tight in the short-term — as crucial.

“Is it of any value to have an education, a degree for a degree’s sake, without the job to be able to sustain some kind of a lifestyle, a middle-class lifestyle? My answer is no,” Abrams said.

Meanwhile, higher education officials are hoping legislators learn about the schools and the difficulties in managing them.

For example, some conservative legislators have pointed to the tens of millions of dollars in private funds the universities raise each year in questioning whether the budget situation on campuses is dire.

But University of Kansas Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little noted that private contributions typically come with restrictions from donors, so that funds for scholarships can’t be used to cover energy costs, just as legislators are prohibited by law from using campaign contributions to pay personal expenses.

“Our goal will be that the members of the Legislature end up with a fuller and more comprehensive understanding of university finances,” she said.

Gator in Walmart APOPKA, Fla. (AP) — A 6-foot alligator made an unwelcome appearance at the front door of a central Florida WalMart.

The incident happened Sunday morning in Apopka, outside Orlando. The gator stopped in the entryway, causing the automatic doors to open and close until employees locked them.

Orlando television station WKMG reported Apopka police officers tried to lure the gator away as customers gathered to watch and take pictures.

The gator took off toward the nearby woods.

Officers searched the area but couldn’t find it.

Wet winter likely ahead Health resource ready

First snowfall recorded across state WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas residents could be in for a lot of snow and below-normal temperatures this winter if forecasts hold true, especially on the eastern side of the state.

Though fall lasts until late December, the state got its first taste of winter weather on Friday when as much as 6 inches of snow fell in some areas, The Wichita Eagle reported.

The snow melted quickly because of warm ground conditions, but predictions by both AccuWeather and the National Weather Service call for the likelihood of much more frozen precipitation by the time spring arrives.

Last winter Wichita received 30 inches of snow, with flurries still falling as late as early May. Much of the accumulation came in two storms less than a week apart late in the season.

“Hopefully, it’ll be a little more spread out this year,” said Guy Pearson, senior meteorologist at AccuWeather’s Wichita branch.

Over the last 30 years, Wichita has averaged 14.7 inches of snow.

The Accuweather forecast calls for December to have normal temperatures and precipitation, but January should have above normal precipitation, while February will be below normal for temperatures with normal precipitation.

Larry Ruthi, meteorologist at the National Weather Service’s Dodge City office, said atmospheric conditions indicate this winter will be anything but tame in Kansas.

“The arctic has been cooler most of this summer than last year, so there may be a more robust source of cold air this winter,” Ruthi said.

Ridges in the upper atmosphere are pushing the jet stream south, creating a conveyer belt for storms that will push into Kansas from the desert Southwest, Rithi said.

“When these events occur, there likely will be significant winter storms in the Central Plains,” he said.

While there likely will be some colder-than-average surges, “especially from late December through February,” there will be some warm spells, too, he said.

TOPEKA — Kansans frustrated by their inability to shop for health insurance coverage on the federal marketplace website can now do much of the legwork on the state insurance department’s updated website, InsureKS.org.

Late Friday afternoon the department upgraded the site first launched in early September so that consumers in any county can access a list of the health plans available in the federal marketplace along with their prices.

“We’re pretty excited because if somebody goes on our website they can find out whether they qualify for a tax credit and they can take that information and look at the rates and plans and come pretty close to figuring out which plan they’re interested in when they’re able to get on the (federal) marketplace.

So, hopefully it will give them a little bit of a head start,” said Linda Sheppard, director of health

care policy and analysis at the insurance department.

Consumers can do about everything on the insurance department website that they could do on the official federal site — if it were working — except finalize a purchase.

The marketplace website operated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services — HealthCare.gov — has been plagued by problems and has been mostly inoperable since its launch Oct. 1, though there were indications of progress Friday.

Officials said that by day’s end, five Kansans had managed to purchase coverage using the federal marketplace.

Sheppard said Kansas officials didn’t seek federal approval to add the workaround tools to the state site, which also includes a feature allowing users to locate navigators and marketplace-certified agents nearest them.

what you can mix and match,” Schrick said.

He pointed to the roof of the car’s cab.

“That used to be my neighbor’s porch floor,” he said.

The “rustic” theme is something he strived for as well. For the headers, he soaked them in water and vinegar and then left them in the elements for a while. Now, they match the rest of the vehicle’s style. While it may not look much, Schick said he “takes it everywhere” and it’s a lot of fun to drive. He has taken it to multiple

shows in the area.

“It’s like driving a gocart with doors,” he said.

He recently had the transmission rebuilt on the coupe. He originally bought the frame in Ottawa in 2011, and had it running in just over a year, after “tweaking a few things.”

He pointed out a few lighter spots on the body of the car, where bullet holes had pierced the metal body. They were in the car when he bought it.

“I’m thinking about digging that putty out, so you can see the bullet holes,” he said.

“It’s a hobby that I enjoy doing,” she said as people stopped by her booth and looked around.

She has everything from autumn decorative signs to large handmade Scrabble pieces.

“My husband helps me cut the wood, but I do the painting and quilts,” she said.

Hicks said the flow of people through her booth had been steady.

Kristy Ammons, Buffalo, is familiar with the art festival scene.

“I’m somewhere every weekend,” she said.

Her booth was filled with vibrant hair bows, headbands, tutus and custom letter blocks. Ammons has a booth at the Funky Monkey in Iola and travels to many festivals

throughout the year.

As the morning started to thaw out more people stopped into her booth.

“The cold really slows it down at first but it picks up when it gets warmer,” she said.

Ammons said she started out making bows for her nieces and then people started requesting orders.

Demand for her items started to rise and her business “took off.”

“I’m always doing something so I thought why not do this and make money,” she said.

Ammons said she enjoys attending festivals and making her craft.

“I’ve had my own business for three or four years now,” she said.

“I’m able to work on this, stay at home and do this on the weekends.”

Chiefs Fillies take fifth at Anderson County hang on to top Texans

By RICHARD LUKEN richard@iolaregister.com

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Jamaal Charles carried the Kansas City Chiefs to another victory.

His defense helped shoulder the load once again.

Charles ran for 86 yards and a touchdown, Alex Smith also ran for a score and the scrappy Chiefs held off the banged-up Houston Texans 17-16 on Sunday to remain unbeaten.

The Chiefs were forced to punt the ball to Houston with 1:46 left in the game.

But after Case Keenum threw an incompletion on first down, the young quarterback was stripped by linebacker Tamba Hali at his 2. Derrick Johnson recovered the fumble for the Chiefs.

Smith simply kneeled on it from there as time ran out, allowing Kansas City (7-0) to extend the secondbest start in franchise history. The 2003 team began the season 9-0.

Kansas City is the NFL’s lone unbeaten team. Denver was knocked from the ranks of the undefeated with a 39-33 loss at Indianapolis.

Keenum, making his first NFL start in place of the injured Matt Schaub, threw for 271 yards and a touchdown for the Texans (2-5).

But he didn’t get much help from his run game after Arian Foster left in the first quarter with a hamstring injury and did not return.

The Chiefs’ defense, which led the NFL in scoring coming into the game, continually made big plays.

They held the Texans to a field goal after facing firstand-goal at the 1-yard line in the third quarter, and then kept turning Houston See CHIEFS | Page B4

GARNETT — Iola High’s volleyball team sandwiched victories around a pair of hard-fought losses Saturday as the 2013 regular season nears its end.

The Fillies went 2-2, taking home fifth place at Saturday’s Anderson County Invitational.

All that remains is a home match for Iola against Anderson County on Tuesday before the Class 4A, Division II substate tournament begins next Saturday, also in Garnett.

The opening match wound up being an accurate indicator of how the rest of the day would transpire for the Fillies against some of the toughest competition in the area.

Iola started against Independence, and had things in control early, leading 8-3 in the first game, before the Lady Bulldogs stormed back to win the first set, 25-17.

Undeterred, Iola rebounded in the second set, going pointfor-point with Independence, until seizing control late with a 25-22 win.

The third was a carbon copy of the first two, with the teams staying neck-to-neck until the Fillies closed the match with a flourish, winning the set and match, 25-20.

Emery Driskel led the way with 14 kills, followed by Ashlie Shields, who racked up 12 kills, on just 21 attempts for a sterling .524 attack percentage. Emma Piazza and Kyra Moore had 17 and 14 assists, respectively.

Things didn’t go as well in their second match against Pioneer League power Wellsville. The Eagles emerged with a 25-20, 25-19 victory.

Driskel and Piazza both had five kills for the Fillies.

The third match came against host Anderson County.

The Bulldogs took the first set, 25-20, before Iola rebounded to claim the second, also 25-20.

But Anderson County took the tiebreaker — and the match — 25-20.

Driskel had 12 kills, while Addie Haar and Shields had six and five kills, respectively.

Among Iola High Fillies competing Saturday at a volleyball tournament in Garnett were, clockwise from upper left, Mikaela Platt, Paige Miller, Allie Cleaver, and at bottom left, Hannah Endicott, left, and Ashlie Shields. The Fillies went 2-2, taking fifth in the tournament. REGISTER/RICHARD LUKEN

Piazza and Moore both had 12 assists. Driskel also had four solo blocks.

IOLA ENDED its day on a high note, with its 25-19, 2522 win over former Southeast Kansas League foe Labette County.

Driskel and Mikaela Platt had seven and four kills, respectively. Piazza had seven assists. Driskel had four aces and two solo blocks.

Driskel, who averaged 9 kills per match on the day, was named to the all-tournament team.

Early goals propel Allen in shutout victory

By RICHARD LUKEN richard@iolaregister.com

Allen Community College’s Xzavier Torres couldn’t connect on this bicycle kick attempt at a goal Sunday, but the Red Devils were clicking on all cylinders elsewhere in a 3-0 win over visiting Independence. REGISTER/RICHARD LUKEN

George Georgiev couldn’t have picked a better time to become a scoring machine.

The Allen Community College sophomore scored a pair of goals within the first 10 minutes of Sunday’s key Region VI matchup with visiting Independence.

The early tallies allowed the Red Devils to coast from there in a 3-0 victory.

The win lifts Allen’s overall record to 7-6 and its Region VI mark to 5-4. With 15 points, the Red Devils are in sole possession of fifth place in the Region VI standings.

“We played really well early, got a little sloppy in the middle and picked it up again at the end,” Allen head coach Doug Desmarteau said.

Georgiev teamed with fellow sophomore Ben Loflin to stake ACC to the early 2-0 lead.

Loflin served up perfect throw-in feeds that Georgiev poked into the goal from the air.

“George is great in the air,” See ALLEN | Page B4

Wellsville wound up winning the tournament championship with a thrilling, threeset victory over Burlington in the title match, 25-12, 22-25, 28-26.

Humboldt takes second at Southeast tournament NEODESHA — Humboldt High’s volleyball team continued its solid late-season run Saturday, picking up four wins in five matches at the Neodesha Invitational Tournament.

The Lady Cubs rolled to wins over host Neodesha, Baxter Springs, Parsons, Caney Valley and Fredonia, before dropping the championship match to Southeast of Cherokee.

“The girls had an extremely successful day,” head coach Stephanie Splechter said.

“They played really well most of the tournament and battled hard during the few times we found ourselves behind.”

Splechter also praised Humboldt’s effort in the loss to Southeast, 25-21, 2519.

‘Gravity’ at top NEW YORK (AP) — Star power and Oscar aspirations are reigning at the box office, where the space adventure “Gravity” and the Somali pirate docudrama “Captain Phillips” are holding off all comers.

With $31 million over the weekend according to studio estimates Sunday, “Gravity” topped the box office for the third straight week, cementing its status as the juggernaut of the fall movie-going season.

It also took in another $33.5 million overseas.

The 3-D Warner Bros. movie, staring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, has now made more than $170 million in three weeks. The film’s groundbreaking visuals have been particularly popular on IMAX screens, where it made an “Avatar”-like $7.4 million on the weekend.

“Captain Phillips,” starring Tom Hanks and directed by Paul Greengrass, also held in second place, taking in $17.3 million in its second week.

The two movies and their veteran stars were able to keep three new wide releases at bay: the horror remake “Carrie,” the Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger action flick “Escape Plan,” and the WikiLeaks drama “The Fifth Estate.”

The last utterly flopped — a fate predicted by its subject, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange — taking in a paltry $1.7 million for Disney. It’s the worst debut this year for a film in such wide release (1,769 theaters).

“It’s a very strong lineup that is not budging,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box-office tracker Rentrak, who noted the primary family choice, “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2,” is also holding steady with $10.1 million in its fourth week.

In a limited release of just 19 theaters, Steve McQueen’s highly-anticipated slavery epic “12 Years a Slave,” starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, opened with $960,000. The exceptionally high theater average of $50,000 suggested considerable audience eagerness for the already much-lauded film.

1. “Gravity,” $31 million ($33.5 million international).

2. “Captain Phillips,” $17.3 million ($9.1 million international).

3. “Carrie,” $17 million.

4. “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs,” $10.1 million ($5.1 million international).

5. “Escape Plan,” $9.8 million ($9.4 million international).

6. “Prisoners,” $2.1 million ($7.3 million international).

7. “Enough Said,” $1.8 million.

8. “Fifth Estate,” $1.7 million.

9. “Runner Runner,” $1.6 million ($4.2 million international).

HHS: Lady Cubs take second at SE Continued from B1

“The Southeast match was an exciting one,” she said. “We are going to use it as a learning experience to prepare for sub-state.”

Humboldt, 21-8, wraps up the regular season Tuesday at Burlington.

Fredonia is the third school in the triangular competition.

Humboldt then hits the road to Cherokee Saturday for the Class 3A Substate Tournament, which will determine which teams qualify for the state tourney the following weekend in Emporia.

AS AN ASIDE, the Register incorrectly reported in Saturday’s

edition that Humboldt’s junior varsity split matches last week in Emporia to Eureka and Cherryvale. The Lady Cub JV won both matches, defeating the host Tornadoes, 25-9, 25-20, and Cherryvale, 25-5, 2518.

We regret the error.

Lancers come up short at Chetopa CHETOPA — For three quarters, Crest High stood toe-to-toe with their hosts from Chetopa High Friday, and nearly had the highest-profile victory of the team’s 2013 season.

But the highly regarded host Hornets erupted for 26 points in the fourth quarter to break open what had been just a two-point lead.

The 42-14 loss drops Crest to 3-4 overall and 2-3 in Three Rivers League. More importantly, Crest falls to 1-2 in district play, which determines which teams qualify for the postseason.

Chetopa improves to 6-1 overall, 5-0 in league and 2-0 in districts.

“The score was not indicative of how close the game actually was,” Crest head coach Brent Smith said. “The Lancers played a very hard and tough game. The key was a number of turnovers and penalties at inopportune times.

I’m very proud of the effort put forth by the Lancers this evening.”

Chetopa led 8-0 on a first-quarter touchdown before Crest took

the lead with a pair of tallies in the second period.

Evan Godderz tossed a nine-yard scoring pass to Taylor Davis to tie the game. The same duo connected on a seven-yard scoring strike later in the half to give the Lancers the lead, 14-8.

But Chetopa returned a fumble 65 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter to pull back in front, 1614.

Scoring plays covering 30, 23, 250 and 27 yards accounted for Chetopa’s fourth-quarter outburst.

Rene Rodriguez rushed for a team-high 121 yards for the Lancers, while Godderz was 4 of 18 passing for 75 yards. Three of the completions went to Davis for 43 yards. Austin Green had a 32-yard reception.

Brandon Brallier and Clayton Miller each had nine tackles to lead the Crest defense.

Green also intercepted a pass, while Miller had two fumble recoveries. Codi Vermillion also recovered a fumble.

Chiefs: Win again Continued from B1

back on every series in the fourth quarter.

The Texans opened the scoring on Randy Bullock’s 48-yard field goal, but the drive proved costly when Foster left for the locker room. When he emerged a short while later, he was wearing a gray sweatsuit and his afternoon was done.

The Chiefs answered with an 82-yard drive that was helped along by a roughing-the-passer penalty on Texans defensive end Jared Crick.

Charles did most of the

work on the drive, so it was only fitting that he plunged in from a yard to give Kansas City a 7-3 lead.

Keenum hit DeVier Posey for a 42-yard reception, and then found DeAndre Hopkins for a 29-yard touchdown.

The Texans still led 10-7 when they pinned Kansas City at its 3-yard line midway through the second quarter. Smith proceeded to guide the Chiefs 97 yards and scored on a 5-yard draw when he froze the defense on a fake handoff to nobody.

Allen: Red Devils thump Independence Continued from B1

Desmarteau said. “It always helps to get an early lead and to not let up. That’s been our challenge this year.”

Georgiev, meanwhile, credited his teammates, for his recent scoring success.

“They’ve done a great job,” he said. “I just do what comes naturally when the ball’s in the air.”

Even after getting the early lead, Allen kept up the pressure against the Pirates’ defense.

The Red Devils racked up 15 shots on goal, compared to Independence’s five.

The ones the Pirates were able to get close enough to at net were easily handled by ACC goalkeeper Victor Ortega.

Brett Rex poked in the final goal after Oscar Maruffo deflected a corner kick his way in the 63rd minute.

“We’ve had solid defense all year, and we have Vic and Chase (Tonkin) to get the save if we need them,”
