Leaders pledge to up support for Bowlus

By SUSAN LYNN The Iola Register

Most likely, Allen County will come to the rescue of the Bowlus Fine Arts Center.

County, city and school leaders met Thursday afternoon at the Bowlus to discuss the increasing challenge to USD 257 to meet its financial obligation to the Center and agreed its importance to the region necessitated their cooperation to ensure it is taken into the future.

“If we lost the Bowlus, it would almost take the soul out of Allen County,” said Tom Williams, Allen County commissioner. “I think the county owes it to the Bowlus to do everything we can to ensure its viability.”

Jim Talkington, also a county commissioner, said the county “is probably the biggest beneficiary of the Bowlus,” and threw his support behind Williams’s.

Last year more than 800 events were at the stately fine arts center, said Susan Raines, Bowlus executive director.

“We are busy,” she said.

What keeps the school district committed to holding its fine arts classes in the Bowlus Center is the will of benefactor Thomas H. Bowlus, which stipulates such an arrangement. If the district fails to live up to that condition, the center could become the property of the University of Kansas, according to the will.

Currently the school district pays $144,000 a year — about half of the Center’s operating budget — for the use of the Bowlus for its art, vocal and drama classes.

State cuts to education have made that untenable, said Jack Koehn, USD 257 superintendent of schools.

“That’s 35 percent of our capital outlay budget,” he said, referring to the portion of the budget funded by local property taxes and typically used for maintenance and building projects.

“If the people of USD 257

continue to defeat bond issues for new schools, then our available resources continue to dwindle because maintenance needs escalate,” Koehn said.

Darrell Catron, school board member, noted Iola High School is the oldest

school in use in Kansas.

“It’s also sinking,” Catron said, referring to the building’s foundation. Maintenance needs of the district’s aging structures far exceed their budget, Koehn said.

“I’m not sure we can fix what the Legislature has

screwed up for you, but we’re willing to help you in regards to the Bowlus,” said Williams.

Because the county’s budget is the only one with any wiggle room — thanks to the construction of the Enbridge pipeline that runs through the county — it was the natu-

ral spigot to tap.

Currently, Allen County’s contribution to the Bowlus is $32,000 a year while the City of Iola allots 1 mill of property taxes, or about $29,000 a year.

Alzheimer’s plates honor legend of HS coaching

By ANDY MARSO KHI News Service

Humboldt grads Bri Ames and other Humboldt High graduates pranced through the elementary school’s halls Friday morning, getting high fives and applause from the younger students. Then, they posed with kindergartners who also will “graduate” this year.

HHS Counselor Carol Larson said the first-time event was meant to encourage elementary students to envision themselves as one day donning the black-and-orange robes. The high school seniors will receive their diplomas at commencement ceremonies today at 5 p.m. at the Humboldt Community Fieldhouse. REGISTER/BOB

Obituaries Virgil Lair On May 11, 2016, Virgil Arthur Lair, 88, Piqua and later Chanute, died peacefully with his loving and devoted wife Mary Alice Lair at his side, holding his hand.

Virgil was born Sept. 23, 1927, in Piqua, the son of Otto W. and Anna J. (Bux) Lair. He grew up on a small farm in Piqua, attending Piqua primary school and later graduating Virgil Lair from Iola High School. As a young man Virgil, known by many as “Arnie” was an avid baseball player for the Piqua team.

He entered service in the United States Navy, serving in the Pacific Theater during World War II aboard the Navy destroyer USS Tolman, one of the first ships landing in Nagasaki after the bombing. Upon honorable discharge from the service, he entered Kansas State College of Agriculture and Applied Science (later becoming Kansas State University) under the GI Bill of Rights. He graduated from K-State in May 1950 with a degree in agronomy. He was a member of Alpha Gamma Rho Fraternity.

Post graduation, he worked for Pfizer Veterinary in New York City. He then returned to Kansas and on Oct. 15, 1955, married Mary Alice (Smith) Lair at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Chanute. They made their home in Piqua, where Virgil began buying land for his farming operation. He often noted “the big bean crop of 1966” as a pivotal point in his farming career.

Virgil, known as a straight shooter both in hunting and business began his banking career in 1970 when he bought a bank in Stark. Likewise, his banking operation grew to encompass many communities in southeast Kansas, with its headquarters at Bank of Commerce, Chanute. All this from a man who, by his own admission, knew little in the beginning about the banking business, except that one could potentially make a good living at it while doing something worthwhile for the community.

An avid outdoorsman, Virgil’s passion for hunting and fishing was endless. He hunted every pheasant season opening day in South Dakota since 1955. He accomplished the “Grand Slam” of North American wild sheep, and had several record trophies, including a Canadian polar bear and a leopard from Zimbabwe, Africa.

Virgil served 16 years as a member of the Military Selective Service System 1958-1976. Instrumental in starting the Piqua Co-op, he also served many years on the Cooperative Marketing Association board in the 1960s and 70s. Memberships include the Kansas Bankers Association Federal Affairs Board, Charter member of Flint Oak, Knights of Columbus, American Legion, St. Martin Catholic Church in Piqua and St. Patrick Catholic Church in Chanute.

His family was the most important aspect of his life and he spent his time both working and leisure with them. For over 40 years, Virgil and Mary Alice have continued to travel with their four children to celebrate Christmas in Vail, Colo. Over the years, the family grew and prospered, growing from four children to 29 children, spouses, grandchildren and great-grandchildren on his most recent Christmas in Vail. He shared his passion and enthusiasm for life with his family through his many stories and lessons that he had learned along the way. He will be truly missed, but his words will remain with us.

Survivors include his wife, Mary Alice Lair, of the home; three sons and their spouses, Greg Lair (Judy), Piqua, Mark Lair (Karen), Chanute and Casey Lair (Julie), Neodesha; and one daughter, Jill Lair Aylward (Mike), Chanute; 14 grandchildren, Damian Lair, Courtney Gonzales (Cesar), Monica Lair, Kevan Lair, Kelli Corwin (Chris), Whitney Schairer (Trent), Conner Lair, Emily Lair, Kate Lair, Valon Jones (Alex), Garick Lair, Ali Aylward, Regan Aylward and Michael Aylward; and greatgrandchildren Cesar Gonzales, Alexander Gonzales and Harper Jones.

He was preceded in death by two sisters, Bernice Lair and Margie Kramer, and by a brother Mike.

His body will lie in state from 1 to 5 p.m. Monday at Countryside Funeral Home Gibson Chapel, 16 N. Forest, Chanute. A Rosary will be recited at 7:30 p.m. Monday at St. Patrick Catholic Church.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be at 10 a.m. Tuesday at St. Patrick Catholic Church, Chanute. Interment will be at St. Martin’s Catholic Cemetery in Piqua. The Chanute Honor Guard will be in charge of military honors. Online condolences may be left at www.countrysidefh.com. In lieu of flowers, memorials have been suggested to St. Patrick Catholic School, Neosho Memorial Regional Medical Center Foundation or St. Martin’s Cemetery Fund and may be left with or mailed to the funeral home. Services have been entrusted to Countryside Funeral Home, 16 N. Forest, Chanute, KS 66720.

By BOB JOHNSON The Iola Register

Alana Kinzle, born in Iola and graduated from Humboldt High School, said her goal is to own and operate her parents’ business, The Feedlot, in east Iola.

A new Rotarian, Kinzle was required to tell about herself. Joining Alana Thursday were Ed and Betty Miller, also new members.

Alana said she runs The Feedlot, in its 21st year, and is a Mary Kay representative “on the side.”

“I’m trying to be more active in the community,” Alana said, and gave an overview of the memorial garden she has proposed behind the Veterans Wall on the Allen County Courthouse lawn.

Commissioners have embraced the idea, and now it’s up to her to fill in the blanks.

“I’d like to have the

National Guard help with the concrete,” for a sidewalk and edgings, “and maybe Rotary members can help out.”

Travis Hermstein, an Iola High School history instructor, will have students write synopses of wars in which the U.S. has been involved for permanent display. Other volunteers will be sought.

The Millers are retired from Ed’s family business, the Miller dress factory. Betty came to Iola to design dresses at the factory, where Ed met her after serving a 21-month hitch in the Navy. They were married in 1958.

“I was born in the back bedroom at 205 S. Colborn,” with Dr. Baldy Chambers assisting, Ed said. To give perspective, he said Chambers charged $25.

He was graduated from Iola High School and the University of Kansas, before being

drafted into the Navy a couple of years after the Korea War was put on hold — it still is — by a cease fire.

“I came home and met this lady,” Ed mused, nodding toward Betty.

“I was born in Birmingham (Alabama),” but traveled about during World War II as her father was transferred to Sullivan’s Island off the coast of South Carolina and then El Paso, Betty recalled.

H.L. Miller & Son was in business for 67 years before the advent of clothing store chains spelled its demise.

“We sold to mom and pop stores,” which evaporated when Walmart and other mega retailers came on the scene.

Ed said he accepted reality and he and Betty now devote the lion’s share of attention to their children — they had five — and nine grandchildren.

How To Think From Heaven's Perspective Be impressed with who you are and what you have in Christ

Jennifer Nauertc, daughter of Kansas high school football luminary Bill Freeman, spoke during a ceremony marking the signing of a bill authorizing Kansas license plates for Alzheimer’s awareness.

man,� Brownback said Wednesday as he embraced Nauertc. “A great, great man.�

Freeman, who was born in Burlington and played college football at Emporia State University, went on to win eight state titles as the football coach in Le Roy, Osawatomie and Lawrence high schools.

He won an additional two state titles as track and field coach at Lawrence High.

Nauertc said her dad was her hero and thanked Rep. Peggy Mast, a Republican from Emporia, for carrying the Alzheimer’s license plate bill. “He had beat prostate cancer, had a quadruple heart bypass but did not beat this disease,� Nau-

Alzheimer’s and related dementia are on the rise in Kansas as the state’s population ages.

In 2013, Clay County had the nation’s highest rate of the illness among people in traditional Medicare, at 22.15 percent.

Fe Vorderlandwehr, executive director of the Alzheimer’s Association Central and Western Kansas Chapter, said that has a ripple effect throughout communi-

ertc said of her father. “So in honor of him and to help raise awareness and money for this, I decided to ask Peggy if she would write this bill. She did, and it’s just taken off like wildfire.�

The new plates haven’t been designed yet. That process will begin if the Alzheimer’s Association can gather 500 signatures, accompanied by a $30 donation, from those interested in pre-ordering the Kansas plates.

Those who sign up will be provided with a receipt for proof of donation. After Jan. 1, 2017, they will be able to take that to a Division of Motor Vehicles office to apply for the plates.

Bowlus: Leaders pledge financial support for fine arts center Continued from A1

pledged the city’s support for the Center.

“On behalf of the city, we’re going to work with you and be there for you,” he said, addressing school board members.

“It’s a great structure and organization for our community. The city doesn’t have a lot of cash lying around, but we all need to come together and make this work. We cannot let this structure and organization falter.”

Because the school district plans to continue using the Bowlus for classes into the foreseeable future, it will still pay to use the facility, but at a much reduced rate.

“Moving forward, we’re done with the $144,000,” said Tony Leavitt, president of the board of education, which serves a dual role as trustees to the Center.

“But we feel a responsibility to continue paying some amount to the Bowlus,” he said. “We’re comfortable with paying 1 mill in property taxes; about $42,000. In a perfect environment, I wish we could do more.”

Susan Raines, executive director of the Bowlus, estimated the fine arts center would need about $175,000 a year from the three entities combined to make ends meet.

“But that’s a stab in the dark,” she said, and expressed hesitancy at venturing the guess.

Under such an arrangement, Commissioner Williams said he thought the county could contribute $100,000 a year.

Though everything from Thursday’s meeting is still on the drawing board, it “was a hopeful start,” said Aaron Franklin, a member of the city council.

Even more promising for Bowlus supporters was the suggestion

by Williams to make the agreement good for five years, “So you don’t come knocking at our door every year.”

A large consortium of leaders from Iola, Allen County and USD 257 gathered for a joint meeting Thursday to discuss financial support for the Bowlus Fine Arts Center. The meeting was held in the Bowlus’ art classroom. Among the participants were, below at left, County Commissioner Tom Williams, below at right, Iola City Councilman Aaron Franklin, Iola City Councilman Austin Sigg, bottom right, and Terri Piazza, chairman of the Bowlus Commission, bottom left.

another.

School superintendent Koehn said the district needs a better understanding of the consequences if it makes certain changes on how it uses the facility.

For example, in 2014 school officials were hoping the community would support building a new high school and elementary school. In those plans for a school complex north of town, all of the music classes would have been there.

In place of band and vocal music at the Bowlus, school officials proposed having in addition to traditional art also graphic design, computer aided design, vid-

The district has seen a decrease of 120 students in the last six years, Koehn said.

“Losing Haldex and Herff-Jones took a lot of families out of the district,” said Catron.

Board member Jen Taylor mentioned that a possibility of consolidating school districts somewhere in the future would call into question

the responsibility of the Bowlus. Perhaps a judge could review that scenario now.

Whether the school board could even yield management of the Bowlus to some other entity was ventured by Leavitt.

“Perhaps we’re not the best people to be managing the Bowlus,” he said.

KEN McGUFFIN, representing the Friends

of the Bowlus, whose primary goal is to raise funds for brick and mortar projects, said its funds are all tapped for the proposed construction on the east side of the building.

For the past 20 years the Friends have made significant contributions to the Bowlus that have kept it in good repair including a new roof and, most recently, a new boiler.

Opinion A7 The Iola Register

Saturday, May 14, 2016

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Hoping Bowlus is not viewed as a burden, but the privilege it is The biggest fear for fans of the Bowlus Fine Arts Center is that the school district will pull out of its role of managing the Center.

That relationship has guaranteed the Bowlus is a routine part of our students’ education, providing unique experiences and memories they will carry with them throughout their lives.

Benefactor Tom Bowlus knew he led a privileged life. A frequent patron of the arts in Kansas City, as well as other big cities, Bowlus wanted to bring as much as he could of that life to southeast Kansas.

So we have 5-year-olds in pigtails playing on Steinway pianos in acoustically designed recital halls. The art classroom is flush with natural light.

School plays and concerts are performed in an auditorium that seats more than 700. Students from around the county are routinely bused to the center to be entertained by internationally famous companies and troupes.

Having the school district committed to the Bowlus ensures that relationship continues for our children.

Does it make more work for school board members?

No doubt.

And state cuts to education have made board members feel they must pit the needs of the Bowlus against those of other school buildings. In times like these the Bowlus can appear more like a burden

Susan Lynn Register editor

than the privilege it is.

Few counties our size have a center like the Bowlus.

More than any other activity or feature, the Bowlus continually draws people our way.

At the last big show, audience members represented 74 different zip codes.

Many days, several activities are going on throughout the building, including art shows in the Mary L. Martin Art Gallery; recitals in the Creitz Recital Hall, or performances in the auditorium.

The arrangement with the school district has for many years allowed Iola and Allen County to essentially have the best of both worlds. They get the Bowlus, without the responsibility of supporting it. As evidenced by Thursday’s meeting with school board officials, after 50 years those days have come to an end.

That’s OK. In reality, Iola and Allen County should be taking a greater role in its financial support anyway.

The hope is that with the school district relieved of its financial obligation to the Bowlus, it can go back to seeing it as the gem it is.

Don’t hurry to set life’s course Don’t always follow your dreams, was advice for those about to graduate in an article on Monday’s editorial page.

The point was maturity and circumstances often intervene.

Don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys, was one admonition. That’s exactly what I wanted to be for several years when Roy and Gene and other guys in white hats were my idols.

Maybe it wouldn’t have been so bad to have a tangled mop of grizzled hair, leathery skin, bowed legs and calloused hands. Especially after I got to know A.L. Daughtery, a fellow down Roswell way who spent 50 years cowboying on Lost Lake Ranch, most of them as foreman. Early to bed, early to rise may not have made him healthy, wealthy and wise, but he sure did have a lot of tales to tell.

When I got a little older, astronomy was sure to be my focus. I’d spend many evenings kicked back in our backyard,

Enough said.

Can either Schmidt or Kobach be stopped by Rep. Paul Davis (b. 1972) (D-Lawrence)?

When opposing Governor Brownback in 2014, Davis avoided demagoguery, but he did show a certain timidity. If he tries again, Davis is going to have to move beyond defining issues in terms of certain interest groups and blocs of voters, and sketch out a vision of Kansas starkly different from the mess that will be left to the next governor. He is going to have to inspire Kansans to rebuild a broken state. This will take a lot more than a cautious campaign designed by professional consultants with computerized voter databases. It is going to take leadership. Is Generation X up to the task?

We Gen Xers are entering the second half of life, and it is time to start thinking about what we will someday leave behind. Right now, it is not looking so good. There is still time for late bloomers, but Kansas cannot wait forever.

soaking in celestial wonders.

I could never rattle off the names of particular groups, other than the dippers, but found my little twinkling friends amazing.

In high school I was introduced to chemistry and biology by Frank Hemphill, and for a time I wanted to be just like him, bright, organized and a teacher whom everyone respected. A little later it was math, which came easily at that level. May Stange encouraged me and when I enrolled at Pittsburg State I was bound for a career based on numbers. Calculus and differential equations changed my mind.

All the while I worked eve-

nings at the Pittsburg Sun, a morning paper. First as a proofreader and then a sportswriter. I enjoyed putting words together in what I thought was a somewhat interesting fashion. When Bud Roberts, the Register’s wire and sports editor, quit, I was given opportunity to come to Iola.

That was in 1964 and with a year of college left before graduation, I thought it would be for a year or two. In 1965 Beverly and I married and until Brenda was born in 1969, the option of returning to school was on the table.

Now, nearly 52 years later I have no regrets. I’ve made a multitude of friends and have had the pleasure of writing about many of them, as well as goodness knows how many other things that affect our little corner of the world.

However, tucked away in a box somewhere is my old Red Ryder neckerchief and sixshooter. I wonder if there’s any demand for an over-thehill cowboy wannabe.

HUMBOLDT — Fifty-two seniors will graduate this year from Humboldt High School Thursday in commencement exercises in the school auditorium. ***** Diplomas were presented this morning at Memorial Hall to the 82 eighth grade graduates of Allen County’s rural schools. ***** J.C. Penney Co. is sporting three new cash registers this week. They provide a separate drawer for each sales clerk.

The result, Manager Merle Main explained today, is that all 12 clerks will now be able to make their own change right on the floor immediately after a sale. The carrier system now in use will be abandoned. ***** Dudley Henderson, secretary-manager of the Security Savings and Loan Association, was elected president of the Kansas Savings and Loan League at the annual meeting in Wichita last week. ***** The Buckbrush Buckaroos announced today that a record number of riders, 184, competed in their rodeo Saturday night and Sunday afternoon and the prizes went to Oklahoma and Kansas competitors in about equal numbers. ***** The Funston Memorial Home, Allen County’s most unique tourist attraction, is now open for visitors, al-

though only one room has been completely furnished and considerable time will be required to complete the project. V. E. Berglund, Carlyle, has been employed as custodian and has moved into the cottage just south of the homestead, which is five miles north of Iola on U.S. 169.

The historic place is to be furnished as nearly as possible as it was when Congressman Edward H. Funston and his family lived there. One room will be used as a trophy and display center to illustrate the career of Gen. Frederick Funston, who won fame with his exploits in the Spanish American War and his subsequent career in the army. ***** The 107 members of the senior class of Iola High School will be given their diplomas on the night of May 23 along with 49 members of the sophomore class of Iola Junior College, who will be passing another checkpoint on their route to more advanced degrees or proceeding to the less dramatic business of earning a living. Evan Evans, a former Kansas school teacher, administrator and now executive director of the National Aviation Educational Council, will give the address. Baccalaureate service will be at 8 p.m.

Attorneys withdraw in bomb plot case

Kansas delays Medicaid cutoff for Planned Parenthood

get the representation he wanted because he didn’t trust his attorneys.

“This line of communication has been irretrievably broken,” Murguia said.

Booker pleaded guilty in February to two felony charges under an agreement with prosecutors for him to serve 30 years in prison. He acknowledged in court that his plot against Fort Riley, about 60 miles west of Topeka, was designed to help the Islamic State group. He initially faced three charges and faced a potential life prison sentence.

Booker was arrested outside the Army post in April 2015 as he was trying to arm what he believed was a 1,000-pound bomb in a van.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas has delayed cutting off Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood a second time and postponed its action against the abortion provider until June 7.

Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri spokeswoman Bonyen Lee-Gilmore said Wednesday that the state sought another extension to prepare for the first hearing in a federal lawsuit challenging the cutoff and that the delays are sign of how the state’s decision is “all political.”

“Clearly, there’s no public health emergency at play,” she said.

Eileen Hawley, spokeswoman for Republican Gov. Sam Brownback, said the delays give both sides adequate time to prepare their arguments and the judge time to review them. The latest postponement occurred Tuesday.

The state initially planned to cut off Medicaid funds on Tuesday, but delayed the action until May 24. With the additional delay, a hearing on Planned Parenthood’s request for a court order blocking being cut off is scheduled for May 25.

The state health department has cited in its decision to cut Medicaid funding a

dispute over a December inspection of a Planned Parenthood clinic in Overland Park that was later resolved, and also has pointed to allegations lodged against affiliates in Oklahoma and Texas. Medicaid provides health coverage for the poor, elderly and disabled.

Federal courts have blocked attempts to cut off Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood in other states, including Arkansas, Arizona, Indiana, Louisiana and Utah.

But Brownback, a strong abortion opponent, said last week: “I think we’re on solid grounds.”

Kansas also has blocked Planned Parenthood from receiving federal family planning dollars for non-abortion services since 2014 through provisions in its annual budgets. Brownback signed a bill Tuesday to make the policy a permanent state law.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Two public defenders withdrew Friday from representing a Topeka man who has pleaded guilty to plotting to bomb a northeast Kansas military installation.

U.S. District Judge Carlos Murguia granted the lawyers’ request to withdraw during a brief hearing for John T. Booker Jr., 21, and plans to appoint a private attorney for him.

Attorney Melody Brannon said she and fellow public defender Kirk Redmond had developed a potential conflict of interest with Booker but declined to comment further after the hearing.

Murguia had a short, private conference with Booker and the attorneys before concluding that Booker wouldn’t

Red Devils send pair to next level

High School Track & Field: Pioneer League Meet

By JON DYKSTRA The Iola Register

Allen Community College sent two of its men’s basketball starters to four-year schools this week.

After Jameel Henson signed with Southwestern College, Darnell Jones-Bowie signed with Southern Arkansas University. The point guard will go there set on playing a big role.

“Their coach expressed how much he wanted me and what it would look like for us,” Jones-Bowie said. “I really feel like I can get a lot of playing time next year.”

They lose starting point guard Jaron Davis after he graduated. Davis averaged 12.2 points-per-game and had 111 assists. He was a shootfirst point guard for the Muleriders.

“Southern Arkansas thinks he will come in and play a role immediately,” Allen coach Andy Shaw said. “He will definitely help them in the future.”

Jones-Bowie was the third leading scorer for the Red Devils this season with an 11.5 average. He also had 3.6 assists-per-game average.

The Muleriders went 17-13 overall and 13-9 in the GAC and with Jones-Bowie in the fold, they will go into the season with big expectations.

“I like the team we have coming back and I feel like we can compete for a ring this year,” Jones-Bowie said.

Southern Arkansas coach Andy Sharpe made a good impression on the Red Devil guard when Jones-Bowie went See ALLEN | Page B8

RUNNING WILD Distance runners lead Mustangs at Pioneer meet

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

GARNETT — For all of Braden Plumlee’s exploits on the track — he won both the 1600 and 3200 meters at Thursday’s Pioneer League meet — it may have been the Iola High junior’s silver medal that was most impressive.

After edging classmate Kendall Jay at the finish line in the 1600, Plumlee then beat his nearest pursuer in the

3200 by nearly 20 seconds, a rout in track and field.

He had all of about 5 minutes to savor the gold, before IHS head coach Dana Daugharthy asked if he felt up to another race.

“I can go,” Plumlee responded.

With that, Plumlee returned to the starting line, to take the second leg of the final race of the day, the boys 4x400-meter relay.

Brady Newman was a twotime silver medalist for the Wildcats, in the discus and

high jump, respectively. He also placed third in the triple jump.

Marmaton Valley’s boys also took second in the 4x100meter relay, as did Preston Cornet in the shot put.

Humboldt finishes unbeaten regular season

By JON DYKSTRA The Iola Register

HUMBOLDT — Jake Haviland has done a lot in his Cub career. He has been the ace for Humboldt and has also been a key hitter for the past couple of seasons.

One thing was left on the “bucket list” before the senior hung up his spikes. He wanted to hit a home run and on Senior Night, he got his pitch.

“He threw a fastball right down the middle,” Haviland said. “Coach (Mike Miller) has been telling us to stay back and keep our weight back so that is what I did. It felt so good coming off the bat.”

Haviland crushed the ball over the left field fence Thurs-

Governor signs bill aimed at filling KHP vacancies SALINA, Kan. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kansas motorists will pay higher vehicle registration fees starting in July to provide extra funds for the state Highway Patrol to hire additional troopers.

Gov. Sam Brownback signed a bill boosting fees into law Thursday during a ceremony in Salina. It is home to the patrolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s training center.

The new law also includes another fee increase to provide additional funds for a center in Hutchinson that

trains other law enforcement officers.

Vehicle registration fees will increase $3.25.

Most vehicle owners now pay $35.

A $2 increase will raise $5.4 million a year for the patrol so it can hire an additional 75 troopers. Thirty-five of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 105 counties have no assigned trooper.

An additional $1.25 fee increase will raise $3.4 million annually for the Hutchinson training center.

Track: Iola athletes capture medals at Pioneer League Meet Continued from A1

He teamed with Chase Regehr, Jay and Nathan Sprague to take second, at 3 minutes, 44.9 seconds.

“They usually have the 2-mile (3200) at the beginning of the meet, but this time they had it at the end,” Plumlee said. “I felt a little winded coming down my final 200 stretch. But I was able to catch the Prairie View runner and run a sub 60. I’m pretty proud of my time.”

The medals paved the way for the Mustang thinclads to take fifth in the final standings with 72 points. Wellsville took the team title with 115.50 points, followed by Prairie View in second with 97.5, Santa Fe Trail in third at 94 and Osawatomie in fourth at 87.

Sparked by Plumlee and Chase Regehr, the middle distance runners ruled the day for the Mustangs.

In addition to Plumlee’s two golds, Iola’s 4x800-meter relay team of Chase and Cole Regehr, Blake Haar and Nathan Sprague roared to an easy win, beating Anderson County by a whopping 22 seconds.

Chase Regehr then followed up with a silver medal in the 800-meter run.

“To come out with a win in the 4x800 without our main group of guys (Daugharthy rested Plumlee and Jay and allowed Haar and Sprague to anchor the team),” I’m pretty happy with it,” Chase Regehr said. “I’m very proud of Braden and Kendall. We couldn’t do what we did in the 4x400 without them.”

The runners battled a brisk north wind, that “felt like hitting a brick wall” on the track, Plumlee said.

“I felt it at my back going down the backstretch,” Regehr said. “I didn’t notice it as much as I figured I would when I was running into it.”

Other highlights for the Mustang track team included Nathan Sprague’s second-place finish in the 400 meters, finishing in 54.3 seconds.

At top, Iola High’s Nathan Sprague races to the finish line in the 400-meter dash Thursday at the Pioneer League Track Meet. Sprague took home second in the race. At right, Iola’s Erin Klubek hands the baton to Madison Carlin in the girls 4x800-meter relay. Below at middle, Ashley Nicholas competes in the long jump.

At bottom, Keifer Endicott throws the discus. REGISTER/RICHARD LUKEN noon. He ran stride for stride with Jay, as the pair took the lead for good in the second lap.

They stayed at an even keel the rest of the way, neither looking to separate himself.

They intentionally maintained their pace to the finish line.

“We ran together, like always,” Plumlee said.

“It’s more teamwork,” Jay said. “We keep talking to each other, pushing each other, all the way.”

Jay found another benefit to running alongside his teammate.

“I actually drafted off him with the wind,” he said. “I feel like we can go faster.”

Plumlee had no such benefit in the 3200, when he learned his main challenger, Prairie View’s Ian Trego, was a scratch.

“I knew I needed something to pace myself, so I made a little game of it,” Plumlee said. “I tried to stay at 100 meters in front of the second-place

he admitted.

Plumlee avoided disaster in his leg of the relay. He mistakenly followed a straight line as he took the baton from Chase Regehr, catching himself before nearly colliding with a Prairie View runner. It mattered little in the end as he collected himself and regrouped.

Plumlee got that advantage by the second lap, and again cruised to the win.

“It feels pretty good,”

Ashleigh Nicholas entered in four events, and placed in all four.

She took second in the 100-meter hurdles, third in the 300-meter hurdles, fifth in the 200-meter dash and sixth in the long jump.

Meanwhile, fellow frosh Madison Carlin captured bronze in the high jump, clearing 4 feet, 6 inches.

finally accomplished it.”

The Cubs kept playing well in game two and rallied from an early 4-1 deficit to topple Cherryvale, 8-4.

Humboldt honored its seniors during its final home game of the season. In addition to Haviland the other Cub seniors are Tyler Korte, Corey Whitcomb, Rhett Smith, and Dillon Aikins. Haviland said after the games that he was proud to be a part of that senior class.

“It has been a blast playing with them,” Haviland said. “We grew up together, playing traveling ball and now being undefeated league champs. It is a lot of fun playing ball with your best buddies.”

“Whitcomb is one of the best outfielders we

have had come through our program,” Miller said. “He has made some huge plays for us defensively that really have changed some games. After struggling at the plate to start the year, he has put in a lot of work and he’s hitting at the right time for us.”

Smith is another batter that has hit near the top of the order all season and he is another reason the Humboldt defense has been so solid, as he controls the game from behind the plate.

“Smith has been our starting catcher the last two years and has become one of the best defensive catchers in the league,” Miller said. “He has really worked hard to become the player he is and his improvement at the plate has been

huge for us.”

Miller has been very pleased with the development of Korte this season.

“Korte has put together his best season this year,” Miller said. “He has always had the tools to be really special and it has been great to see how far he has come. When he stays with a good approach and really locks in, he is one of the best hitters we have.”

Aikins is another key defender for the Cubs up the middle. This season he earned the starting job at second base.

“Aikins has become an every-game player for us in his senior year,” Miller said. “He has given us solid defense at second base and great speed on the base paths.”

GAME ONE

Junior Rayce Hoepker

threw all five innings during game one, allowing only three hits. The Cubs topped Cherryvale 12-1 in the five-inning game.

“Rayce really bounced back with a great outing on the mound,” Miller said. “He had struggled a bit in his previous outings so it was good to see him back in form.

He mixed his pitches well and gave us a great start.”

Haviland and Korte each had three RBIs in the game.

tor. “They got us in substate basketball, so that is a dagger in the heart right there. Hopefully I can come out that day and throw nothing but strikes.”

If that match up occurs in the regional final, it will be played at Wellsville.

game between Erie and Pomona-West Franklin on Tuesday at 2 p.m.

If they win that matchup, they will face Wellsville later that night.

“It was great to win the league, win our midseason tournament, and go undefeated. But all of that doesn’t matter now,” Miller said. “We have a bigger goal of making it to state next week and really making this a special season.”

ROTATION SET

The Cubs will begin their playoff push on Tuesday and will pitch junior Daylon Splane in game one. If they win game one, they will have their ace Haviland available for the regional championship.

Softball: Cubs send Richey, other seniors out with a home win Continued from B1

McCall said. “I’m really grateful for that, but I’ve always had a great team to play with, that works really hard. Brad (Piley, Humboldt coach) also teaches us the stuff we need to learn.”

Humboldt won by scores of 15-0 and 19-0.

The Cubs made quick work of a Cherryvale squad that was easily frustrated against the relentless pressure that the Cubs force on the base paths.

“Last year, we hit a lot more home runs and had power hitting,” Piley said. “This year, we are relying on speed and putting the ball in play. We’ve got a ton of speed.”

Despite big leads, the Cubs like to keep the pressure on teams, because they are always keeping state in the back of their mind and know that their aggressiveness is their ticket to a deep run in the tournament.

“We need that mentality (of not quitting) especially when we go to state and it won’t always be 15-0, so we need to have the mentality of never giving up,” McCall said.

With both games quickly being resolved after three innings due to the 15-run rule, the night developed into a celebration for the seniors and what they have provided to the Cub softball program over the years.

No one has been a big-

ger star over that time than Richey. The AllState pitcher has dominated her way through southeast Kansas lineups.

“It is big to have someone on the mound like Courtney,” Piley said. “It gives our young girls an opportunity to excel.”

The one notch in Richey’s belt still missing is that elusive state championship and the rest of the team hopes that this can be the year they secure that for their ace.

“For Courtney, that is what she thinks about and dreams about is being in that spot (at state) and pulling through as a senior to win it,” Piley said.

Richey is not the only senior who was celebrated on Thursday night.

Hannah Hulett missed her junior season, but has returned to the Cub lineup as a senior. Hulett has been constant in the No. 2 spot in the order and patrolled center field for the Cubs all season.

“Hannah is a really good hitter and she gets on-base and does what she needs to,” McCall said.

Hulett is also a mentor to the two freshmen that flank her in the outfield — Aricah McCall in right field and Morgan Mauk in left. Mauk also hits leadoff and like Hulett is a slap-hitter.

“Our first two batters are fast and slappers,” Piley said. “If Morgan just gets the ball in play

now that every game is an elimination game, Piley isn’t going to take the ball out of his ace’s hands.

“We are going to go with our big horse,” Piley said.

Wilhite has shown that the rotation is in good hands next season when Richey’s eligibility is up.

“Next year, we will go all the way with Rylan,” Piley said.

McCALL BACK

Standout catcher Makaylah McCall missed Wednesday’s game, but rest assured nothing is wrong with the Cubs’ No. 3 hitter.

The junior had to take a late final for a collegelevel class and returned to the lineup on Thursday.

UP NEXT

Humboldt senior Hannah Hulett slaps at a ball during Thursday’s game with Cherryvale at the Humboldt Sports Complex. Hulett is one of three seniors honored at the Cubs’ Senior Night. REGISTER/JON DYKSTRA she is going to get on.”

Bri Ames is the other senior for Humboldt. She splits time with sophomore Kassie Angleton as the team’s designated hitter, but even though she isn’t in the lineup as much as Richey or Hulett doesn’t mean she is any less of a leader for the Cubs.

Her teammates appreciate her spirit and uplifting voice from the dugout.

“Ames has been really enthusiastic,” McCall

said. “She makes sure if there is ever any girldrama on the team, it is gone in five minutes.”

Richey, Hulett and Ames have played their final home games for the Cubs and their legacy is cemented as one of the most accomplished softball teams in Humboldt history.

Post-purchase ‘cleaning’ a mystery Dear Car Talk: What is it that car dealers do to a car once I’ve signed the papers but before I drive it off the lot? This has happened during my last two car purchases, a Buick and a Ford: They take the car in the back, out of sight, and they keep it quite a while. They tell me they are “just cleaning it up.” But it doesn’t look any cleaner. Are they removing something I purchased on the car? Are they dismantling a theft monitor, something required by the government or their insurance company? What are they doing to my car once I have purchased it? Thanks for any insight into this puzzle.

Love your column, love your show, great sense of

Car Talk

Ray Magliozzi humor, and I trust your opinions. Thanks. — Anita Answer: What are they doing? They’re depreciating it by about 30 percent.

Seriously, I don’t know what they’re doing. I’ve never been present during this mysterious process.

I’m guessing that they do wash it. And they probably clean the glass, inside and out. They remove the plastic coverings that protect interior parts from getting coffee stains on them while other people test-drive the car.

They probably check the tire pressure and the battery output. They may set the navigation system for your region so the first time you use it, it doesn’t ask you, “What part of Manitoba would you like to visit?”

They put your license plates on it, and make sure the oil and windshield-washer fluid are topped off. They may install whatever last-minute accessories they talked you into — like the downfilled velour floor mats.

They even might drive it down the street and put some gas in it.

If the car’s been sitting on the lot for a while, it also might need a software update, or even a technical service bulletin

repair taken care of.

And there are two possible reasons why it takes so long. One is that the 19-year-old kid who is in charge of removing the Saran Wrap from the door sills is busy or out to lunch. So the car sits there for half an hour until he gets back.

The other possibility is that it gives the “finance office” an extra 45 minutes to sell you an extended warranty and some gold-plated fuzzy dice.

But I don’t know for sure, Anita. Maybe some of our readers who are dealers can tell us exactly what they do during this final delivery inspection.

Fellas? Gals? Does my description sound about right?

Why does my loud kid annoy my neighbors?

Dear Carolyn: My family is very lucky to live in a big house with a big front porch, back yard and a second-floor back porch.

My preteen daughter especially loves that back porch. In the summer, she spends whole days out there listening to the radio and yakking on her cellphone. This is great for the rest of the family — she is not bothering her brothers and sisters, or nagging me to drive her to the movies. And my daughter is happy!

My neighbors (behind us) tell me that the way the porch is built, it acts as a huge megaphone or band shell. They say that even normal conversation or music played at a rea-

Tell Me About It Carolyn Hax sonable volume is broadcast loud and clear to their back yards, through their open windows, and even to their front porches!

My neighbors want me to make this second-floor porch a quiet zone; my daughter’s conversations and music are intruding into their homes and back yards, and interfering with their right to listen to their own music or just enjoy peace and quiet.

I say that this is my

daughter’s home, and she has a right to do what makes her happy.

Who is right, and what should I do? — Frustrated and Annoyed in Baltimore Frustrated and Annoyed in Baltimore: You want what you want and to hell with everyone else, as long as it bothers someone other than you. This is the lesson you’re OK with teaching your kid?

With neighbor-noise issues, you can usually go one of three ways: 1.

Dig in because it’s your house; 2. Give in because you don’t want to start a war with people you see every day; 3. Try to find a compromise — it’s your house, yes, but you’d hate it if they crashed your

peace and quiet every day with their music and refused to turn it down.

Again: You have kids, so think a little bit. What path do you want to train them to follow when they’re adults?

You have two obvious points of compromise.

You can buy your daughter high-quality headphones, and you can research sound-absorbing strategies to make your porch less of an amphitheater; presumably she’ll be eager to help when she realizes her pre-teen musings are public. These are so much cheaper and easier in the long run than thinking — and modeling the ethos of thinking — only of yourself.

there for a visit earlier this year.

“On my visit, they made me feel like I was a part of the family,” Jones-Bowie said. “They treated me really well.

I just liked the overall feeling. “(Sharpe) played the same position as me at point guard so he understands the game from the point guard point of view so he expressed what he did in college and what he expects me to do.”

Jones-Bowie is originally from Chicago and says that his time in Iola and with the Red Devils has allowed him to mature.

“I matured really well here,” Jones-Bowie said.

“Just with Coach Shaw and the players, I feel like I became more of a team player. I learned a lot being here in Iola.”

Jones-Bowie also had interest from Southwest Oklahoma State University, Norfolk State University and the University of Maine.

said. “They were thrilled to get him… Their head coach told me it was the biggest scholarship they had ever given anybody so that was a very nice gesture on their part.”

Southwestern went 26-8 last season and 15-5 in the KCAC and Henson is excited to join such a competitive program.

The influence of Moundbuilder coach Matt O’Brien also helped assure Henson that Winfield was the right place for him. “(The scholarship) was a big thing for me,” Henson said. “I went up there for a visit and everything went well when I met my new teammates. The

coach seemed really cool.”

Henson prides himself on being an athletic big man and he thinks Southwestern’s style is a perfect fit for him.

“They are more uptempo (than Allen),” Henson said. “I went up there and he put it on an 18-second shot clock so we were getting up and down the court pretty good.”

Henson says that Shaw helped him grow immensely during his time at Allen and he feels he is prepared to take the next step.

“He most definitely helped me grow as a man,” Henson said. “On the court, I (became) a better teammate.”

3 THINGS WE LEARNED FROM GOBOWLING.COM 400 1. Aero mystery The cars of Denny Hamlin and Brad Keselowski never touched, but the aerodynamic effect of three cars racing through a turn was enough to spin their cars off the track. “The air just spins everybody out,” Keselowski said. “It’s hard to explain because you can’t see it.”

GODWIN’S PICKS FOR AAA 400 DRIVE FOR AUTISM

1. Monster Mile

3. Stewart rising

It may be only a mile long, but Dover International Speedway and its concrete surface is a quick and dangerous race track. The turns at either end of this true oval are angled at 24 degrees, allowing drivers to keep momentum during the course of a lap. Last year’s pole speed for this race was over 160 mph. Tire wear is a constant concern and requires strict tire management by drivers. Are you scared yet?

Tony Stewart, who will turn 45 on May 20, is making his way up the Cup points standings after his No. 14 Chevy finished sixth at Talladega then 12th at Kansas. Stewart, who will retire at the end of this season, is just 59 points away from the top-30 cut line for Chase eligibility. He has 15 more races to win a race and get in the 16-driver playoff field. Stewart missed the first eight Cup races with a preseason back injury.
