FIRES ROAR THROUGH EASTERN ALLEN COUNTY

Register/Richard Luken

A burning hay bale remained following a grass fire that burned more than 3,200 acres in eastern Allen County Friday, one of two major fires that kept emergency crews busy.

Fires destroy 6,000 acres By RICHARD LUKEN and BOB JOHNSON Register reporters

Nearly 6,000 acres of land burned Thursday in a pair of mammoth grass fires that kept firefighters and other volunteers scrambling for hours to save several homes in harm’s way. Two vacated structures did burn, one abandoned house near the intersection of Nebraska Road and 4800 Street; the other a structure near 3200 Street and Alabama Road. The larger of the two fires burned nearly 3,200 acres along a five-mile swath through eastern Allen County, forcing the closure of U.S. 54 for about three hours. The fire first was reported to authorities about 2:30 p.m. near the intersection of Minnesota Road and 4800 Street, Allen County Emergency Management Director Pam Beasley said.

Hot, dry weather coupled with a brisk south wind quickly fueled the blaze. The fire wound up reaching timberland three miles north of the highway, Beasley said, before it was contained by about midnight, although firefighters remained on the scene overnight and into Friday to monitor hot spots, with occasional flare-ups occurring. The fire’s thick plume of smoke — visible from as far away as Iola — prompted authorities to close a three-mile stretch of U.S. 54 between Bronson and Moran. The second fire was reported about 3:30 p.m. Thursday and burned about 2,500 acres in south Allen County, threatening a handful of farmhouses, Beasley said. Because volunteers from Elsmore and Savonburg already were dispatched to the other fire in east Allen County, members of the Humboldt Volunteer Fire Department were summoned to this fire, Humboldt Fire

Drought brings distress By ALLISON TINN allison@iolaregister.com

Pale brown grass crunches under foot. With a slight gust of wind dead leaves blow across the square. Flowers have turned into dust from day after day of dry heat. These are the sights and sounds of the persistent drought. Although most have lost the courage to plant flowers and trees, not all is lost. Learning the inside tricks of green thumbs can resurrect some of the beloved greenery that once filled local lawns. This is the second summer Allen County has gone through a drought, adding additional stress on trees, shrubs, flowers and grass, Extension agent for agriculture Krista Harding said. “This is what’s called accumulated stress,” she said. Summer wasn’t the first time signs of accumulated stress began, Harding said. “In the late spring and early summer the

Moran restricts water use By BOB JOHNSON bob@iolaregister.com

MORAN — With the drought continuing, Moran has installed water restrictions under the second stage of its water conservation plan. The goal is to reduce peak demand by 20 percent and weekly consumption by 10 percent. Restrictions are similar to those in Iola and other area towns. Outdoor watering may be done only after 9 p.m. and before 10 a.m. on an odd-even scheme. Residents with even-numbered addresses may water on even-numbered See MORAN | Page A5

plants really started showing early signs,” she said. When it comes to planting now, Harding wouldn’t say it was pointless, Krista Harding but she wouldn’t recommend taking on any plant that would struggle. If people really want to plant trees, Harding advises waiting until October or November. But the best time is “in the spring before they break dormancy,” Harding said. All plants naturally go through a dormant period during the winter. When buds and leaves start showing then they have broken dormancy. The biggest tip Harding says she could give is to let annual plants die. Annuals are the plants

Above, members of the LaHarpe Rural Volunteer Fire Department and Scott Welch attack a grass fire from opposite sides near Nebraska Road and 4800 Street Thursday. Chief Kent Barfoot said. RESIDENTS were evacuated from near both fires until they were contained. The simultaneous fires “certainly taxed everyone,” Beasley said. Barfoot said Humboldt firefighters were on scene for about two hours before other agencies were able to assist. “We got through it in pretty good shape,” Barfoot said. Others assisting at both scenes were volunteers from the Allen County, LaHarpe

Rural and Moran departments, as well as crews from Iola Fire Department. Offering mutual aid were volunteers from Anderson, Linn, Bourbon and Neosho counties, as well as law enforcement personnel, the Kansas Highway Patrol and Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks. A number of farmers brought trucks with water sprayers to assist. AgChoice brought in a large tanker truck as well. Neighbors and friends helped spray water on dried grass surrounding homes near See FIRES | Page A3

Rebel Works with metal By RICHARD LUKEN richard@iolaregister.com

Jeff Richards’ commute to work each day consists of walking to his garage. That’s when the fun begins.

Two killed, nine wounded at Empire State Building By COLLEEN LONG and TOM HAYS Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — A disgruntled former women’s accessories designer shot a former colleague to death Friday and then was killed in a shootout with police near the Empire State Building that left nine others wounded, officials said. The nine people wounded in the gunfire after 9 a.m. on the Fifth Avenue side of the building were expected to survive, police said. After the shootout, crowds of tourists and people on their way to work gathered along 34th Street, which was shut down by police. Jeffrey Johnson, 53, was laid off about a year ago at Hazan Imports and targeted a 41-year-old Vol. 114, No. 211

former colleague, shooting the man in the head, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said. A construction worker followed Johnson, then spoke to police nearby. Johnson turned his .45-caliber pistol on officers and they returned fire, Kelly said. Johnson was shot and killed by police. It’s not clear if Johnson opened fire on the officers, but Mayor Michael Bloomberg said some of the nine wounded may have been shot by police in the mayhem. Gunshots so close to one of the city’s leading tourist attractions immediately prompted fears of terrorism, but federal officials said that wasn’t the case, and a guard at skyscraper said it didn’t involve the parts of the building where tourists gather to visit the skyscraper. 75 Cents

Kansas native returns to coach By ROB BURKETT rob@iolaregister.com

The distance between Iola and Derby might be only 105 miles, but for Doug Kerr, Iola High School strength coach and head football coach, the distance he has covered is so much more than that. After graduating from high school, Kerr went to Fort Scott Community College to play football and get some college experience under his belt. From there, Kerr attended Lindenwood University, a liberal arts school just west of St. Louis, to study journalism. After graduation, Kerr began work for the St. Louis PostDispatch. “I was one of the low guys on the totem pole there,”

Kerr said. “I would get assigned to cover two or three games a night. Back then they wouldn’t even pay for our gas, so I would drive out to the edge of town and actually not make any money doing the See KERR | Page A5

City council back to eight Iolans Nancy Ford and David Toland will be sworn in Monday as Iola’s newest city council members. The swearing-in will highlight the start of Monday’s regularly scheduled council meeting. Ford and Toland were chosen Wednesday to replace Kendall Callahan and Ken Rowe, who were ousted in a recall election earlier this month. Council members are expected to discuss the weather policies, city facility usage and volunteer background checks and

how each affects the Iola Recreation Department; a lease agreement between the city and Iola Industries for the facility rented for use by Columbia Metal at Riverside Park; planned water distribution upgrades scheduled to appease the Environmental Protection Agency; the city’s water usage policies in light of the ongoing drought; and further analysis of the city’s 2011 audit. The 6 p.m. meeting is at Riverside Park’s New Community Building. The public is invited.

Rotary pushed to support water project John Williams of Fayetteville urged Iola Rotarians to join other clubs in the four-state district in raising funds to make all of the drinking water in the central American nation of Belize safe to drink. Williams, governor of District 6110 of Rotary International, noted that Dr. Ellis Potter of Iola recently completed his term as governor and that Dr. A. R. “Baldy� Chambers was governor in 1947, “the year that I was born.� He complimented Iola members for the many civic and international programs that they support and said the Iola club should seek to become the Club of the Year by doing still more. Rotary’s safe-water project is furthered by providing schools and other public places with water filters capable of

purifying about a million gallons of water over a 20-year period. It has been supported by the local club and by individual members. Williams was accompanied by his wife, Connie, who recently retired from the Fayetteville school system where she served as a counselor at the high school for decades. He was introduced by Judy Brigham, who is an assistant governor of the district, which includes parts of Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Kansas. The service organization, which may be the largest in the world, has over 1.3 million members in over 34,000 clubs. At the beginning of Thursday’s meeting, Williams inducted Stan Grigsby into membership. Grigsby was sponsored by club president Neil Westervelt.

both fires, successfully preventing homes from being damaged. “It was impressive to see everybody working together,� Beasley said. AN ALLEN County Public Works Department tanker and another owned by John O’Mara Jr., together holding about 20,000 gallons, provided a ready source of water. They were positioned at Hope Chapel Assembly of God Church, just west of the fire that burned along the east side of the county. Later O’Mara’s tanker was dispatched to the south Allen County fire, Undersheriff Bryan Murphy reported. Also, food prepared at the Allen County Jail was taken to Hope Chapel,

which opened its fellowship hall for use by firefighters when they needed a break. Community Emergency Response Team members made cold drinking water available. Sheriff Tom Williams said causes of the fires had not been determined, although a cigarette tossed from a vehicle driving along a county road might have started the east fire. “We don’t suspect arson in either fire,� he added. Williams said Mother Nature gave a helping hand in late evening. “The wind died down,� he said. “That helped a lot.� NOWHERE was the “neighbor helping neighbor� attitude more prevalent than at the homes of Jason Botts and Harry Maley. Botts and Maley live on opposite sides of Nebraska Road between 4600 and 4800 streets. Both of their farmhouses were in the path of the oncoming fire. “I didn’t know what was going on until about 3:30,� Botts said. “By then, sev-

Another fire burned most of the evening Wednesday

and into Thursday morning in southern Bourbon County, Beasley said. Several Allen Countians provided mutual aid for the Bourbon County fire. Rain expected this weekend should help curtail imminent fire danger. Allen County has been under a burn ban for more than a month.

Alan majored in history and established himself as a student of Winston Churchill before attending KU law school and winning that degree as well. Alan met and fell in love with Sara at KU. But World War II intervened and he served in the U.S. Navy in the North African theater during the invasions of North Africa and France. The war over, Alan went straight back to Alden, married Sara and joined the Fair family in its ranching enterprise. He didn’t use his law degree punching cattle. But he did become an expert on pasture management and shared what he had learned with his neighbors, there and beyond. The Fair ranch prospered. Alan believed that much is expected from those who gain wealth and knowledge and put that belief into action.

His generosity and wideranging personal interests benefited the Alden school district, the Alden United Methodist Church, the Kansas Banking Board, the Kansas City Branch of the Federal Reserve Board under Paul Vogel and the KU Endowment Fund. In remembrance of his mother, father and his brother, John, who died in a tragic accident, he established the Sleeper Family Trust in 1975 to benefit the Bowlus Fine Arts Center in Iola. He endowed the Trust generously and John’s widow, Mrs. Virginia Sleeper Creitz, added to it with a substantial bequest at her death. The six-figure income from the Sleeper Trust now makes possible many of the programs the Bowlus presents each year to Iola and area students as well as subsidizing outstanding cultural events for the general public which could otherwise not be afforded. This year’s gift was $186,729. Alan died last Sunday, Aug. 19, 95 years after his Iola birth. But thanks to his wise philosophy and selfless generosity, Alan and Sara Sleeper and the family he leaves behind will keep on enriching the Bowlus Center and his hometown for longer than anyone now alive can see. The monument he leaves to Iola, and all of Allen County, is as immortal as any the human mind and heart can conceive. Surely that grand prospect gives those who miss and mourn him today great comfort. — Emerson Lynn, jr.

College days recalled A touch of melancholy I feel every August has started to subside. It starts along about the end of July and peaks when I notice Allen Community College students arriving for the fall semester. I’m reminded of some of the best days of my life, as a student at Pittsburg State University. That halcyon time was punctuated by having all the freedom of being an adult but few of the responsibilities. Beverly and I were married in 1965 and each summer I talked about completing a bachelor’s degree. Fine, she’d say, as long as we don’t have children, which meant the tune changed in 1969 when daughter Brenda was born. That didn’t keep me, though, each year from thinking about the excitement of fall Saturdays at PSU stadium — the Gorillas were mighty good then, too — or late night trips for burgers and — I might as well admit it — a beer or two at Drenik brothers’ Friendly Tavern. I wasn’t a straight-A student, and always rationalized my B’ and C’s as the result of working from 4 p.m. to midnight several nights a week at the Pittsburg Sun, which launched a newspaper career of more than 50 years now. Thoughts of “one more year

of college” every August also come from remembering friends I made and a thirst for knowledge that remains very much a part of life. I am intrigued by the stories I write for you, dear readers, and with each one I learn something. Earlier this month, en route to an interview in Le Roy, I took advantage of my cell phone and rang up Bob Lewis, whom I met my first day of college in 1961. We caught up on each other’s lives and at one point I mentioned how every time we talk, by phone or during a visit, it seems like only days, not weeks or months, since our last time together. That’s the test of real friendship; no matter how long it has been since last contact, conversation has no edge, no pauses for “what do I say now.” We take off as though it were just yesterday when we last talked. And, as might be expected, we got around to recalling some of our experiences together at PSU.

Parsing the Republican platform Delegates at the Republican National Convention are scheduled to vote Monday on a platform that, per recent tradition, presumptive presidential nominee Mitt Romney will freely ignore. After all, both parties’ platforms typically represent the beliefs of their activists, not necessarily the governing philosophy of those on the ballot. Democrats will surely focus on the most extreme planks in the new GOP platform, such as the one opposing abortion in virtually any circumstance. But we’re more intrigued by the breaks from the past on the topics of taxes and immigration. A good illustration of the tension between activists and more election-focused party leaders is the language on immigration. The initial proposal drafted by party officials took a less aggressive stance than the GOP had in 2008, apparently with an eye toward improving its image among Latino voters. But pressed by Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, a leading advocate of state crackdowns on illegal immigrants, the platform committee restored provisions calling for a fence along the entire border with Mexico, withholding federal funds from so-called sanctuary cities and denying in-state tuition rates to undocumented students. At the same time, however, the committee agreed to a proposal from Texas businesses that offered a measure of support for a federal guest-worker program. It isn’t exactly a full-throated endorsement; the proposal merely says that a Republican administration and Congress “will consider, in light of both current needs and historic practice, the utility of a legal and reliable source of foreign labor through a new guest-worker program.” Still, it’s the first time the party’s platform has even hinted that it might approve of such a program, which could give illegal border-crossers a way to stay in

GOP plank will call for a fence along the entire border with Mexico, but at the same time support a reliable foreign labor work force giving illegal border-crossers a way to stay in the U.S. legitimately. the U.S. legitimately, albeit temporarily. That’s a small but notable step away from supporting only enforcement efforts. ON TAXES, the committee reiterated its support for lower rates and a simpler tax code. At the same time, it dropped a provision from the 2008 platform that called for retaining one tax break in particular: the deduction for home mortgage interest. This move was backed by representatives of the Romney campaign, while allies of real estate agents and the construction industry pressed

the committee to reverse course. Ultimately, the committee agreed to call for preserving the deduction if tax-simplification efforts fail — a meaningless stance, considering that the deduction won’t be at risk if Congress doesn’t try to simplify the tax code. The mortgage-interest plank hints that Romney is committed to a tax code overhaul, even if it means sacrificing one of the code’s most prized and widely used deductions. But then, it’s just a party platform. Its details mean a lot more now than they will if he’s elected.

Court ruling on EPA: Bad air and bad reasoning Environmental regulation is a complicated business, but the Environmental Protection Agency’s Cross-State Air Pollution Rule is, in principle, fairly simple. It aims to protect people who live in states that are downwind of the deadly pollutants emitted by power plants in adjacent states — so if coal smoke from Texas, say, is poisoning the air in Louisiana, the EPA can force Texas to be a better neighbor by cutting emissions. Yet differing court interpretations of the EPA’s authority have turned what should be straightforward into a continuing legal nightmare, endangering tens of thousands of American lives in the process.

The latest twist came Tuesday when the appeals court for the District of Columbia overturned the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule. It was a confusing decision. Four years ago, the court declared that the EPA’s rules, developed during the George W. Bush administration, were too weak to adequately protect the health of people in downwind states. But after the Obama EPA crafted a new rule designed to pass the court’s scrutiny, two judges on the threejudge panel — both of them, notably, Bush appointees — said it had gone too far and was now usurping states’ rights and overstepping its powers. This provoked a blistering dissent from the third

The delay in implementing this pollution rule is costing human lives. Nitrogen oxide and sulfure dioxide from power plants contribute to smog and acid rain in Midwestern and Eastern states. judge — an appointee of President Clinton — saying the majority’s decision was “based on the court’s own notions of absurdity and logic that are unsupported by a factual record, and a trampling on this court’s precedent.” Is there judicial activism at play here? That’s not an unreasonable conclusion, though the definition of “activism” seems

to be any decision that disagrees with the political opinions of the accuser. What is clear is that the majority wrote a highly defensive decision that seems to twist itself into knots to reinterpret the EPA’s powers under the Clean Air Act in ways that aren’t supported by precedent. What’s also clear is that the delay in implementing this pollu-

tion rule is costing human lives. Nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide from power plants contribute to smog and acid rain in Midwestern and Eastern states. The rule, which was supposed to go into effect in January, would prevent up to 34,000 premature deaths annually, according to the EPA. It would save up to $280 billion a year in healthcare and other expenses, at a cost of $800 million annually, which would cause a barely noticeable blip in power bills in the 28 states it covers. The EPA should waste no time in appealing this costly, ideological and wrongheaded decision to the full D.C. Circuit Court. — The Los Angeles Times

that have to be replanted each year. “Devote time to keeping trees alive,” Harding said. “Trees and shrubs are (the most costly) and our biggest investment.” Trees take years to become large. After trees, pay attention to shrubs, lawns, annual flowers and vegetables. A SOAKER hose is the best way to water trees. Place the hose so the water will go directly onto the soil. This allows the water to sink deeper into soil. The water should soak 8 to 12 inches deep. Check to see how long it takes for the water to reach that depth and then water accordingly. This system can be used for plants, flowers, vegetables and shrubs as well. With the water warning having been issued recently, “whatever is being used should be devoted to trees and shrubs,” Harding said. Getting closer to fall there are some things gardeners can do to ensure a beautiful gardenscape during the winter. “Pansies do well in the fall. I don’t recommend planting mums, other than buying them already

blooming for decorative purposes,” Harding said. Other attractive fall gardenscapes are cold crops — lettuce, radishes, turnips and spinach. “As the days get shorter and cooler they do well,” Harding said. With the cool weather that was seen last week, Harding is hoping fall will come a little early and give plants a break. Usually the end of August breaks the heat of summer a little bit and that was seen a little early this year. “I am afraid we don’t know what is normal anymore,” Harding said. “It was so early in the spring that maybe, hopefully, fall will come in a little early.” LAWNS IN this area are

mostly of fescue grass. This grass is a cool season grass and is not doing well in the drought’s heat. Grass that does better in the warm weather is Bermuda, a favorite of golf course greens. The way to find out if a lawn is dead is to dig up some of the grass and plants to see if there is any green tissue left. “If it withers away to nothing then it is dead,” Harding said. If gardeners do not know

if they have live grass or plants, they can call the Extension office. The KState Extension office can direct them to an agent to help and Harding says she has even done house calls — all free of charge.

enough light, as long as it is a window that gets a lot of sun exposure. “The main thing is you need to buy a plant that fits the lighting in the house,” Harding said.

gardeners is keeping plants indoors. “The biggest limiting factor for indoor plants is lighting,” Harding said. Harding suggests using special grow lights because regular fluorescent lights won’t have enough power to give plants the amount of light they need. Keeping plants by a window will give plants

TREES and shrubs need to be watered once a week. Flowers and plants need to be watered at least two to three times a week, Harding said.

work.” To make ends meet he also worked for a radio station and in retail. “I spent a year basically not seeing the sun,” Kerr said. “I would go into work before the sun came up, sit in my cubby, and then go cover games in the evening, plus work two other jobs. I wasn’t living, I was just working all the time.” Kerr returned to Lindenwood University and became certified in television production. He then landed a job in Port St. Lucie, Fla., to teach TV production and be an assistant football coach. Still, life was too busy for Kerr and his wife, Camille. “Down there in Florida, things are much faster paced, the community is bigger,” Kerr said. “We lived in a community of 200,000 people. We were wanting to raise our kids in a safe, friendly community.” It was then that a football coaching position opened up at Iola High School. Kerr packed up with his wife and three children, Olivia, 9, Benjamin, 6, and Franklin, 3 to come to Iola. Coming back to Kansas, Kerr has been pleasantly surprised by the difference that Iola holds from other communities he has lived in. “When I was in Florida, they had each county set as a school district,” Kerr said. “So you had kids that might be from a completely different part of the county getting bused across town to a school they had no real association with. There was no school or community pride because of that. Here, you see people wearing the blue and gold and they really love the school.” The other thing that has impressed both he and his family has been the vibrant

life of the community. With local attractions like the Bowlus Fine Arts Center and Allen County Historical Society Museum, Kerr thinks Iola is headed in the right direction. “There is a sense of growth here,” Kerr said. “People want Iola to be great so they are taking so much pride in the community here. Things like Thrive Allen County have been huge for Iola in terms of what it’s doing for the town.” While features and attractions might be what made a good first impression, Kerr thinks that the people are what are making a lasting impression to he and his family. “Everyone is just so friendly here,” Kerr said. “My wife, who isn’t from Kansas, went for a bike ride recently and she asked me if there was something wrong with how she looked because everyone was waving at her that she passed. I told her, ‘No they’re just being friendly.’ That’s what we love so much about Iola.”

ate specialized or personalized items. As September draws near, so does Richards’ busy season, as he takes merchandise to a number of area fall festivals. The trips serve as only momentary breaks for Richards, who will spend almost all of his remaining waking hours working feverishly in his garage at 301 S. Elm St. “You find yourself wondering if you’re coming or going,” he said.

Among Jeff Richards’ most noteworthy projects is the metal sign adorning the front of Bolling’s Meat Market in downtown Iola. worked briefly in Springfield, Mo., before he and his wife, Kristy, decided to move home. Richards focused primarily on welding, as well as making metal machine parts, when a friend asked if he would make a small sign as a gift. Richards did so within a day or so. The gift was so well received that Richards was asked to create another. Then another. “It started out just with family and friends, but word spread,” he said. “That’s when I realized I might be on to something.” Over the past two years, Richards has steadily gotten busier, to the point that he’s considering ways to expand. If the price is right, he would like to eventually upgrade his equipment. “But with the economy the way it is, that may be a while,” Richards said. THE HUB of Rebel Works is the pair of CNC machines. The smaller one, which handles only metal cutting, was custom-built by Richards. “It wasn’t as hard as it looks to build,” he said. “It’s a pretty basic machine.” The machine itself is a metal table the size of a pingpong table affixed with a bracket containing a plasma

cutter. The cutter is guided by controls sent from a computer automated design system. “I’m certainly no rocket scientist,” Richards said modestly, “but I do have a basic understanding of how computers work.” The second CNC machine, one he purchased this year, also cuts plastic and wood in addition to metal. “I found what I was looking for on Craigslist,” Richards said, “and the price was right.” The new machine “has a steeper learning curve, so I’m still sort of figuring it out as I go along,” Richards said. THE MACHINES give Richards almost free rein in coming up with metal designs. “About the only thing they can’t handle are very small designs,” he said. “For me, the bigger the project, the better.” He has made signs and other creations from handmade drawings, photographs and other suggestions. Richards is fond of developing multiple designs for each order, to give his customers a choice, “but it seems like they always pick the first design I show.” Timeliness also is important. Richards likes to begin on orders promptly so they’re complete within a

day or two. Aside from his largest projects, he’s usually able to fill most orders within a week. Some of Richards’ notable creations around town include signs for Bolling’s Meat Market at the intersection of Madison and State Street and the Market Place along the south side of the courthouse square. RICHARDS isn’t afraid to tinker. He recently collaborated with Leon Smith, proprietor of Leon’s Designs in Iola, to create a custom patio table. The granite tabletop is affixed to a four-sided metal stand, with the sides containing the names of Richards’ family and other sayings. A light fixture inside the stand creates an impressive glow at night. “The hardest part was getting the granite in place,” he said. “It’s rather heavy.” Assisting Richards with behind the scenes tasks is wife Kristy, who handles the orders, billing and scheduling. “She gets the boring stuff,” he said, “while I get to have all the fun.” Find out more about Rebel Works by liking the company’s page on Facebook, visiting Richards’ website at www.rebelworksmfg.com or by calling (620) 228-2776.

Fillies’ St. Clair-Hobbs team claims 3 wins By JOCELYN SHEETS jocelyn@iolaregister.com

CHANUTE — High school tennis seasons are so short, coaches have few practices to evaluate players before the opening matches. Iola High’s Fillies flipped the lid off the 2012 tennis season Thursday. Head coach Jennifer Bycroft switched things up a bit for the varsity players in their first court action. “I wanted to see how well the players would adapt playing either singles or doubles,” Bycroft said. “We had a really great night of tennis for the first matches of the season.” Senior Abbey St. Clair and junior Alexis Hobbs adapted well to each other. They played at the No. 1 doubles spot for the Fillies and went 3-1. “They did an outstanding job working together. They communicated with each other and knew

their positions on the court when they needed to be there,” Bycroft said. St. Clair and Hobbs notched an 8-3 win over Davied and Busch of Neodesha then beat Columbus’ Goodwin and Delmont 8-2. Winning in a tie-breaker, Hobbs and St. Clair edged Stevenson and McCoach of Labette County 8-7. They lost 8-0 to Chanute’s Thuston and Liudahl.” Iola No. 2 doubles team of Katie Lieurance and Shelby Reno posted an 8-1 victory over Derfelt and Davolt of Columbus. Lieurance and Reno dropped an 8-2 decision to Wertz and Paige of Labette County. They had a pair of 8-3 decisions go against them, losing to Wittum and Depew of Neodesha and Chanute’s Bearrick and Ungles. Senior Katana Smith was Iola’s No. 1 singles player. She lost 8-2 to Jackie Arnold of Neodesha, 8-4 to Ashley Simpson of Columbus, 8-0

to Sami Brown of Labette County and 8-1 to Chanute’s Madison Wendt. Playing in the No. 2 singles spot for Iola was junior Megan Smith. She won by forfeit over Columbus, 8-0. She was defeated 8-2 by Neodesha’s Jackie Newland then had back-to-back 8-0 losses to Labette County’s Paige Smith and Chanute’s Breianna Brooks. On Thursday, the Fillies host Parsons, Independence and Columbus in Iola’s lone home competition of the season. Play begins at 3 p.m. at the Iola school tennis courts, northeast of IHS.

Armstrong is banned for life, career vacated USADA strips away seven Tour de France titles and more By JIM VERTUNO AP Sports Writer

The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency erased 14 years of Lance Armstrong’s career Friday — including his record seven Tour de France titles — and banned him for life from the sport that made him a hero to millions of cancer survivors after concluding he used banned substances. USADA said it expected cycling’s governing body to take similar action, but the International Cycling Union was measured in its response, saying it first wanted a full explanation on why Armstrong should relinquish Tour titles he won from 1999 through 2005. The Amaury Sport Organization that runs the world’s most prestigious cycling race said it would not comment until hearing from the UCI and USADA, which contends the cycling body is bound by the World Anti-Doping Code to strip Armstrong of one of the most incredible achievements

Lance Armstrong in sports. Armstrong, who retired a year ago, said Thursday that he would no longer challenge USADA and declined to exercise his last option by entering arbitration. He denied again that he ever took banned substances in his career, calling USADA’s investigation a “witch hunt” without a shred of physical evidence. He is now officially a drug cheat in the eyes of his nation’s doping agency. “Any time we have overwhelming proof of doping, our mandate is to initiate the case through the process and see it to conclusion as was done in this case,” said USADA chief executive Travis Tygart,

who couched the investigation as a battle against a “win-at-all-cost culture.” Tygart said the UCI was “bound to recognize our decision and impose it.” “They have no choice but to strip the titles under the code,” he said. The UCI and USADA have engaged in a turf war over who should prosecute allegations against Armstrong. The UCI event backed Armstrong’s failed legal challenge to USADA’s authority, and it cited the same World Anti-Doping Code in saying that it wanted to hear more from the American agency. “As USADA has claimed jurisdiction in the case the UCI expects that it will issue a reasoned decision” explaining the action taken, the Switzerland-based organization said in a statement. It said legal procedures obliged USADA to fulfill this demand in cases “where no hearing occurs.” The International Olympic Committee said Friday it will await decisions by USADA and UCI before taking any steps against Armstrong, who won a bronze medal at the 2000 Sydney Games. Besides the disqualifications, Armstrong will forfeit any medals, winnings, points and prizes, USADA said, but the lost

titles that now dominate his legacy. Every one of Armstrong’s competitive races from Aug. 1, 1998, has been vacated by USADA, established in 2000 as the official anti-doping agency for Olympic sports in the United States. Since Armstrong raced in UCI-sanctioned events, he was subject to international drug rules enforced in the U.S. by USADA. Its staff joined a federal criminal investigation of Armstrong that ended earlier this year with no charges being filed. USADA, which announced its investigation in June, said its evidence came from more than a dozen witnesses “who agreed to testify and provide evidence about their firsthand experience and/or knowledge of the doping activity of those involved in the USPS conspiracy,” a reference to Armstrong’s former U.S. Postal Service cycling team. The unidentified witnesses said they knew or had been told by Armstrong himself that he had “used EPO, blood transfusions, testosterone and cortisone” from before 1998 through 2005, and that he had previously used EPO, testosterone and Human Growth Hormone through 1996, USADA said.

handed out doping products and encouraged banned methods — and even used “blood manipulation including EPO or blood transfusions” during his 2009 comeback race on the Tour. In all, USADA said up to 10 former Armstrong teammates were set to testify against him. Included in the case were emails sent by Floyd Landis, who was stripped of the 2006 Tour de France title for doping, describing an elaborate doping program on Armstrong’s Postal Service teams, and Tyler Hamilton’s interview with “60 Minutes” claiming had personal knowledge of Armstrong doping. Had Armstrong chosen to pursue arbitration, USADA said, all the evidence

would have been available for him to challenge. “He chose not to do this knowing these sanctions would immediately be put into place,” the statement said. The decision surprised riders around the world. At the Spanish Vuelta, riders including former rival and teammate Alberto Contador joined ex-Armstrong coach Johan Bruyneel in offering support. Another former rival, Filippo Simeoni, wondered why Armstrong dropped his fight.. “It leaves me a bit perplexed, because someone like him, with all the fame and popularity and millions of dollars he has, should fight to the end if he’s innocent,” Simeoni said. “But I guess he realized it was a useless fight and the

evidence USADA had was too great.” At the USA Pro Challenge in Breckenridge, Colo., longtime friend Jim Ochowicz said he support-

ed Armstrong’s decision. “He has done so much for our sport over the years and I am sad at what has transpired,” he said. “I think he has earned every victory

he’s had.” Bruyneel said Armstrong was the victim of an “unjust” legal case. “Lance has never withdrawn from a fair fight in his life so his decision today underlines what an unjust process this has been,” Bruyneel wrote on his personal website. The Belgian, who manages the Radioshack Nissan-Trek team, has his own legal battle with USADA. He has opted for arbitration to fight charges that he led doping programs for Armstrong’s teams. Armstrong clearly knew his legacy would be blemished by his decision. But he said he has grown tired of defending himself in a seemingly never-ending fight against charges that he doped while piling up

more Tour victories than anyone ever. He has consistently pointed to the hundreds of drug tests that he passed as proof of his innocence during his extraordinary run of Tour titles. “There comes a point in every man’s life when he has to say, ‘Enough is enough.’ For me, that time is now,” Armstrong said Thursday night, hours before the deadline to enter arbitration. “Today I turn the page. I will no longer address this issue, regardless of the circumstances,” he said. “I will commit myself to the work I began before ever winning a single Tour de France title: serving people and families affected by cancer, especially those in underserved communities.”

NFL seeks long-term improvement with refs NEW YORK (AP) — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says possibly using replacement referees for regular-season games is worthwhile to ensure longterm improvements to officiating. The league and the NFL Referees Association have yet to reach an agreement, and Goodell acknowledged Thursday that time was running out to make the regular officials available for the openers. “We’re anxious to get a deal done, but it has to get done that it’s going to help us for the long term,” Goodell said at a fantasy football event in Times Square. “It’s not a shortterm issue.” Of the replacement refs who have been calling preseason games, Goodell said:

“We think they’ll do a very credible job.” Officials probably need a week to 10 days to prepare for the season, Goodell said, and the first game is Sept. 5, 13 days away. The first full Sunday of games is Sept. 9. NFLRA lead negotiator Mike Arnold said Thursday that officials have been training on their own during the lockout and would need less than a week to prep. “We’re ready to go,” he said. While the NFL and officials disagree on some financial matters, Goodell also characterized the differences as “philosophical.” The NFL’s proposal includes making some refs full-time — currently all game officials work parttime with outside jobs — and adding more crews.

Fun hits high gear in September There is a tremendous amount of fun waiting to be had when fall begins. Piqua will have its Bring Your Own Lawn Chair Day Sept. 22, starting at 10 a.m. Following a “lawn chair meeting,� visitors will tour the post office, St. Martin’s Catholic Church and Cemetery, the Farm Store and the Buster Keaton Museum. The centerpiece will be visiting with townsfolk, who will explain why they love their community and how they make it work. At about 1:30, participants will leave Piqua as a group and drive to Kalida, one-time county seat and

Shelia Lampe Chamber Musings now a ghost town. There, they’ll see a “ghost homestead,� including a castle. The group also will stop by the unique Kalida Cemetery. Attendance is free and no registration is necessary, but RSVPs are suggested to wendee@kansassampler.org. IOLA’S

Square standoff ends For the second time in less than four months, law enforcement and fire personnel convinced a wouldbe jumper to come down from the top of a three-story building in downtown Iola. The man, Andrew Ellis, 19, Lawrence, was spotted Friday at the edge of the three-story building in the first block of North Washington Avenue that houses Hope Unlimited and Community Living Opportunities. Sheriff Tom Williams and Iola firefighters climbed to the top of the building using IFD’s ladder truck. They convinced Ellis to climb down the ladder, which occurred without incident. He was taken into protective custody. Ellis also led a brief standoff April 26 by threatening to jump off the same building. He eventually was coaxed down with cigarettes, a can of soda and encouragement from a friend. Ellis was not charged in the first incident.

Goodbye expensive lines. Hello family time.

Two US officials wounded in Mexico MEXICO CITY (AP) — The Mexican Navy says federal police shot at a vehicle carrying two U.S. government employees after the vehicle came under attack from unidentified gunmen. The shooting appears to have been a case of a confused gunbattle that broke out on a rural road just south of Mexico City. The Navy said Friday the embassy personnel were heading down a dirt road to a military installation when a carload of gunmen opened fire on them and chased them, along with a Navy officer accompanying them. Alerted to the gunfire, a federal police patrol vehicle came to the scene and apparently opened fire. The statement does not make clear whose bullets injured the U.S. workers.

Lost and Found

OSLO, Norway — A Norwegian court on Friday ruled that mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik was sane and sentenced him to a maximum term of 21 years for killing 77 people in bomb and shooting attacks last year. Breivik was to be held in “preventive detention,” the Oslo District Court said, citing that he would remain “a very dangerous man” even after serving out his sentence. His detention could be extended indefinitely if he is deemed a threat to society. Presiding judge Wenche Elizabeth Arntzen said the verdict by the five-judge bench was unanimous. Breivik had wanted a sane verdict. He said he carried out the bombing in Oslo and a shooting spree at a Labor Party youth camp on the nearby island of Utoya to protect Norway from an influx of Muslim immigrants. He said he would not appeal the ruling, when asked by Arntzen. “I don’t recognize the court … the sentence is in my view illegitimate. If I appeal I legitimize the court,” he said. Breivik, who carried out the worst attacks in Norway since World War II, smirked when Arntzen began to read aloud the 106page ruling, stating he was sane and responsible for his actions. Asked if Breivik was pleased with the ruling, defense attorney Geir Lippestad said, “Yes and no.” “This is one of the toughest sentences handed down by a Norwegian court, so from that point of view it was hard to say yes. But on the other hand

he is satisfied that he was ruled accountable,” Lippestad told reporters after the court adjourned. Prosecutors said they will not appeal the verdict, although they had in their closing statement in June asked for Breivik to be declared insane. Of the decision not to appeal, prosecutor Inga Bejer Engh said: “We have considered this carefully with the director of public prosecutions and reached the decision that out of consideration to the bereaved and society, we have to draw a line here.” The court made a different assessment than we did, she added. Survivors of the attacks welcomed the verdict, as did the bereaved. “This was the verdict that I had hoped for,” Tore Sinding Bekkedal, who hid in a bathroom during the attack, told news agency NTB. Mette Yvonne Larsen, a lawyer for victims and their families, said: “The court took a brave and independent decision.” Adrian Pracon, another survivor, told TV2 news that the sentence “was a great relief. … I want to move on, and this is a first step.” Youth wing leader Eskil Pedersen, told reporters: “Today he was sentenced and we are reminded that it is a person who is responsible for this. “It was a political attack. A man tried to destroy a generation of youth wing politicians. He hit us hard, but couldn’t defeat us.” The 33-year-old rightwing extremist was expected to serve his sentence at the Ila prison near Oslo, where he has been held for more than a year and where he will serve his sentence in a three-cell facility.

Car repaired, but now has fleas Dear Tom and Ray: Help! My mechanic has fleas! My mechanic has a “garage dog,” who is very old and droopy. I think he has fleas, because after I got my car back, I’m getting bitten in my car! Now I need to get my air conditioner fixed, but I’m afraid to take it in, because I fear the fleas will get worse if I go back. Help! – Karen TOM: Here’s what you do, Karen. Start by sitting in the driver’s seat and fastening your seat belt. Note where the shoulder harness crosses just under your neck. That’s where you want to attach a flea collar so you can wear it from now on whenever you’re driving. RAY: I think we can do better than that for you, Karen. First, you want to be sure that what you’ve got are fleas. But let’s assume you’ve seen them and confirmed that. The next step is to vacuum your car thoroughly. Use one of those thin upholstery attachments, and hit the seats, the carpet, the headliner and all the crevices you can find. TOM: Then your vacuum will have fleas. So remove

Car Talk

Tom and Ray Magliozzi the vacuum bag, seal it up and dispose of it in a container outside your house. RAY: Next: Chemical warfare. Even if you got every single flea with the vacuum — which you didn’t — fleas leave eggs. Which turn into more fleas. So if you don’t like the idea of using serious pesticides, you can start by using a borate-based desiccant, like Borax. That’s a drying agent that does a good job on fleas. Sprinkle it into the carpet and seats, and just leave it there. TOM: Flea larvae turn into adult fleas in about three weeks, so you have to leave the stuff in the carpet and upholstery for at least that long before vacuuming it up. But I’d wait a couple of weeks longer just to be safe. RAY: If you want to go all out, instead of the borate, you can use a flea spray or flea bomb that contains IGR, insect growth regulator, a hormone blocker that keeps the larvae from reach-

ing the adult stage. I’d ask a local veterinarian to recommend an effective one. TOM: And the final, but crucial, step in getting rid of fleas is to prevent re-infestation. The kindest thing to do would be to speak to your mechanic privately. RAY: Tell him that your car was infested with fleas, and that it happened just after the car was at his shop for the day. You can say you’re not 100 percent certain the fleas came from the

shop, but you know he has a dog, and you’re reluctant to go back until you’re sure there’s no problem. TOM: This will give your mechanic a chance to take care of the problem, since you’re probably not the only customer who’s left his shop with something other than brake pads. RAY: You’ll also be doing a service to his poor, old dog, who can’t be very comfortable if the garage is infested with fleas.

Oil rigs start evacuating The Associated Press

Oil companies are evacuating some Gulf of Mexico oil rigs in advance of Tropical Storm Isaac. For now the storm is close to the Dominican Republic and Haiti. But oil installations would be at

risk if it heads to the Gulf of Mexico and reaches hurricane strength. BP said Friday it has begun evacuating all workers from its Thunder Horse platform in the eastern Gulf of Mexico, and will suspend there.

DAILY CRYPTOQUOTES - Here’s how to work it:

Sudoku is like a crossword puzzle, but uses numbers instead of words. The puzzle is a box of 81 squares, subdivided into 3x3 cubes of 9 squares each. Some squares are filled in with numbers. The rest should be filled in by the puzzler. Fill in the blank squares allowing the numbers 1-9 to appear only once in every row, once in every column and once in every 3x3 box. One-star puzzles are for beginners, and the difficulty gradually increases through the week to a very challenging fivestar puzzle.

JUAN PABLO MONTOYA VS. MARK MARTIN

It was Martin, the Pure Michigan 400 pole winner, who happened upon a spin involving Bobby Labonte’s Toyota and Montoya’s Chevy. Martin’s Toyota happened upon the scene, wrong place at the wrong time. Martin’s subsequent crash — his sliding car hit the end of the Michigan pit wall after sliding across the tri-oval grass — was frightening, though the veteran driver walked away. “Aw, heck, I don’t know,” Martin said. “The ‘47’ (Labonte) got turned around, and we got jammed up, and the ‘5’ (Kasey Kahne) got into the back of me.” NASCAR This Week’s Monte Dutton gives his take: “Martin is bidding to become the oldest driver ever to win a Sprint Cup race. This was a great opportunity that slipped away.”

Matt Kenseth finished 17th in Sunday’s race at Michigan on a tough day of missed opportunities, poor pit stops and a flat tire. With Kenseth leaving Roush Racing at the end of the season, the driver would love to get his car running faster and finishing stronger for the Chase.

Future Still Bright

Dear NASCAR This Week, I would like to know why won’t they switch Chad Knaus with Jeff Gordon’s, Kasey Kahne’s or Dale Earnhardt Jr’s crew chiefs? Kathy Clark Coal Township, Pa. Why in the world would “they”? Jimmie Johnson and Knaus have won five championships together? Why would anyone break up that combination? Why would Hendrick Motorsports pair Knaus with another driver with whom he might not work so well? It makes no sense.

The pace of the season is accelerating as the Chase nears. Greg Biffle’s Michigan victory marked the third exciting finish in a row. Brad Keselowski says the Hendrick Motorsports entries are stretching the rules in a way that his team, Penske Racing, is reluctant to do. He isn’t the first to note that something in the “play” of the rear suspensions is giving Jimmie Johnson, Dale Earnhardt Jr., et al., an edge. So-called wild-card position remained the same for the first time in a while. Kasey Kahne and Ryan Newman are in tenuous position to make the Chase. The odds are likely, over the final three regular-season races, that something will change. A victory by Kyle Busch, or Carl Edwards, or Jeff Gordon, or Marcos Ambrose, or Joey Logano … would change the composition of the Chase. Kahne’s position is more secure because he is the only current driver in points positions 11-20 with two victories. What does seem to get more secure week to week is the composition of the top 10, all of whom make the Chase. Thirtythree points separate 10th-place Denny Hamlin from 11th-place Kahne, with Edwards 38 out. Ninth-place Tony Stewart is a lock. He has 34 points to spare in the top 10, and if he falls out, his three wins will earn a wild-card spot. Stewart is struggling, as he was last year at this time … until he dominated the Chase with five victories in 10 tries.

NASCAR This Week

BROOKLYN, Mich. — Matt Kenseth’s Roush Fenway Racing teammate, Greg Biffle, won the Pure Michigan 400. Everything went right for Biffle. Kenseth finished 17th, the same as the number on his Ford Fusion. The same could not be said for him. “We just didn’t really pit for fuel at the right time,” Kenseth said. “But Greg (Biffle) was on the same strategy and won the race. We kept getting stuck in the wrong lane on restarts, had some subpar pit stops and had a flat tire and just couldn’t recover from that.” Kenseth, who won the last Cup (it was Winston then) before the implementation of the Chase format, has a shot this year. He ranks second to Biffle in the points standings and began the season by winning his second Daytona 500. This is also the final season at Roush Fenway Racing for Kenseth, who debuted in Cup on Sept. 20, 1998, in Dover, Del., finishing sixth in his very first race while

substituting for Bill Elliott. He joined the circuit fulltime two years later and won for the first time in the CocaCola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 28, 2000. Kenseth’s future plans are yet to be announced, but most observers would be flabbergasted if Kenseth didn’t wind up driving a Toyota next year for Joe Gibbs Racing. Kenseth, who is a native of Cambridge, Wis., turned 40 earlier this year. He has won 22 times at the Cup level. He is tied for 29th place all-time with Terry Labonte, one shy of Ricky Rudd and two behind both Busch brothers, Kurt and Kyle. Biffle’s victory was the first for a Ford driver since he also won at Texas Motor Speedway on April 14. “There are a ton of reasons why guys don’t win races,” Kenseth said. “There’s a lot of competition and great teams out there. I’ve tried as hard as I could to win every race I’ve entered in my entire life. It isn’t easy. “We have to get our cars running a little faster, and I have to do a better job finishing some of them off.”
