Obama: All
U.S. troops
out of Iraq
by Jan. 1
BEN FELLER
AP White House Correspondent
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Friday
declared an end to the Iraq war,
one of the longest and most divisive conflicts in U.S. history,
announcing that all American
troops would be withdrawn from
the country by year’s end.
Obama’s statement put an end
to months of wrangling over
whether the U.S. would maintain a force in Iraq beyond 2011.
He never mentioned the tense
and ultimately fruitless negotiations with Iraq over whether to
keep several thousand U.S. forces
in Iraq as a training force and a
hedge against meddling from Iran
or other outside forces.
Instead, Obama spoke of a
promise kept, a new day for a selfreliant Iraq and a focus on building up the economy at home.
“I can report that, as promised, the rest of our troops in Iraq
will come home by the end of the
year,” Obama said. “After nearly
nine years, America’s war in Iraq
will be over.”
Obama spoke after a private
video conference with Iraqi
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki,
and he offered assurances that
the two leaders agreed on the decision.

Depression
leaves lasting
impression
By virtue of being born a year
and a half into World War II, I
learned growing up about the vagaries of the Great Depression,
which fits well with the current
Iola Reads selection, “Out of the
Dust.”
At
Week’s End
Bob Johnson
Six weeks after I was born in
1943, Dad shipped out for England and the eventual invasion of
Europe. Meanwhile, Mom and I
moved in with her parents, Sherman and Ada Oliphant, in Humboldt. In a fairly common happenstance in those days, probably in
part because Mom was an only
child, our extended family stayed
together when Dad came marching home in late 1945.
Post-war times were on the uptick, but seldom did a day go by
during my formative years when
the Great Depression didn’t influence conversation and what occurred in our white frame house
on Mulberry Street.
My family didn’t have a car until 1950. My granddad’s was an old
Model A with a wooden bed for
the rumble seat. He later bought
a 1951 Plymouth, his and Grandma’s only new car.
We burned mostly hedgewood
for heat, culled from friendly
farmers’ fields.
I vividly remember the big
stacks of wood out back, neatly
arranged — Dad would have it
no other way — alongside a spacious pen, where we kept chickens and ducks, for meat and eggs.
The quackers and cluckers also
handily took care of any leftovers
— watermelon rinds were a favorite — that Mom and Grandma

FOCUS ON THE FINISH
With retirement
decades away,
young people lack
motivation to save
By JOE SNEVE
[email protected]
For young people starting
their first jobs, financial concerns are many. Using their
first salaries to invest in retirement is not typically what’s on
the mind of recent graduates —
but it should be, said Bill Wolf,
a financial adviser at Iola’s Edward Jones office.
“Starting early is key,” Wolf
said.
Despite a volatile market,
putting money into an individual retirement account (IRA),
401(k) or any other growth fund
sooner than later ensures positive returns over a long period
of time, Wolf said. And current
market levels make now an even
better time to start.
While the parents and grandparents of people in their 20s
and 30s might be upset to see a
5 percent drop in their portfolio
during a down year or two, Wolf
said a 25-year-old has time to let
the down years occur because
the odds of seeing positive returns during a 30- or 40-year investment span are more likely. “Emotions get in the way,”
Wolf said. “If you leave your
investments alone, you almost
always see good growth.”
For 23-year-old Iolan Chris
Weiner, saving for retirement hasn’t begun yet. I n stead, he says he’s too
busy worrying about
student loans and making money.
“Knowing my career

What DO YOU Think?
Bill Wolf:
The
earlier
someone starts investing, the better
off they’ll be when
retirement arrives.
Chris Weiner:
Education is
the
single
most important
investment young
people can make.
Ben Clubine:
Young people
shouldn’t count
on Social Security to provide for
their retirement.
Abolitionist’s legacy lives on
By BOB JOHNSON
[email protected]
On his way to the gallows,
John Brown handed his jailer a
note: “The sins of this land only
will be purged with blood.”
Sixteen months later, the Civil War started.
In part, that prophetic admonition is Brown’s legacy, Kerry
Altenbernd said. Alterbernd
portrayed Brown Thursday
night on stage at Allen County
Community College.
Altenbernd also proposed
that the Battle of Black Jack, 3
½ miles east of Baldwin, was
the first engagement of America’s civil war.
“That’s civil war with a small
c and w,” said Altenbernd. It
was the first battle of consequence between pro-slavery
and free-state forces and part
of what became know as the
Bleeding Kansas era. The recognized American Civil War
began April 12, 1861, when Confederate forces attacked Fort
Sumter, S.C.
Altenbernd’s
presentation
was part of the ACCC series
prompted by the book “It Happened in Kansas,” a local salute
to the state’s sesquicentennial.
ALTENBERND fleshed out
Brown’s life from day one — he
was born in 1800 — until his
death by hanging for raiding
and occupying the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, W.V.
He was born into a family of
abolitionists.
“My father thought slavery
was an abomination,” said Al-

Job market
sends Iolan
back to school
By BOB JOHNSON
[email protected]
You’d
think
a
straight-A student in
chemical engineering graduating from
Kansas State University would have companies falling all over
themselves for his services.
Ben Clubine found
otherwise during career
fairs in fall 2009 and again
in spring 2010. Participating companies — fewer than
in previous years — were after
students, all right. But only those
who would work for free through
internships or for temporary
stints, with no guarantee of a fulltime position afterward.
“With the job market so bleak, I
applied for graduate school,” said
Clubine, who earned his Bachelor of Science degree in May 2010.
Clubine did stumble into a
bit of luck in that he obtained
a graduate research assistantship through the Department of
Homeland Security to accompany
his advanced degree.
“That fell in my lap in late July
(2010),” through one of his professors.
“The good thing about the assistantship in engineering is you
get paid. Not a lot, but at least
something,” Clubine said.
He will complete his master’s
degree sometime in the spring.
Meanwhile, he has ramped up efforts to find a full-time position.
“I’m actively looking, trying
to do a better job of networking.

Brown’s first up-close exposure to slavery came when at
age 12 he spent a few days with
a man who kept slaves, including a boy of about Brown’s age.
The slave and Brown became
friends.

The coats will be given away
— about 150 in all — from 5 to
8 p.m. Tuesday at the IHS commons area.
Coats of all sizes, from larger
adults to petite children, will
be available. Recipients are not
required to provide proof of
need.
“Just show up,” she said.
Stottlemire will continue to
collect the coats through early
Monday to ensure enough time
to have them cleaned before
Tuesday, Stottlemire said.
The coats must be in good
condition, and Stottlemire asks
that no suede or leather coats
be a part of the donation.
She will clean the garments
free of charge.
“Don’t forget the cans,” she
said, adding that the canned
food items will be donated to
the Iola Community Pantry.

The winner of tonight’s King
of America Modified Nationals
at Humboldt Speedway may not
be the only one seeing green this
weekend.
The four-day race extravaganza
has been billed as the top collection of modified race car talent
ever to occur on a dirt track in
Kansas.
And with the drivers coming
from as far away as New Mexico,
Minnesota and Texas, thousands
of race fans are certain to follow.
Local businesses are gearing
for a busy day.
“We’ve brought in extra staff
all week, and we expect it will be
busy,” said Monica Gomez, owner
of Estrellita’s Restaurant.
Gomez expected Friday to be
even busier because it marked
Humboldt High School’s final
home football game of the season.
With the school’s Parents Night
activities, even more will be in
town and invariably in need of
something to eat.
“We’re busy on game nights,
and we’re busy on race nights,”
Gomez said. “There are a lot of
factors that go into it.”
The weekend also is busier
than normal for Tina Patel, manager of the Best Western Motel in
Iola.

Vet sentenced for
stealing dead
motorist’s money
DODGE CITY, Kan. (AP)
— A Vietnam veteran from
Nevada will serve nearly
six months in jail after
pleading no contest to stealing $600 from a man who
had just been killed in a
two-vehicle crash in southwest Kansas.
The Dodge City Globe
reports David Bilbrey’s attorney told a Ford County
judge her client suffers
from severe post-traumatic
stress syndrome.
Prosecutors say James
Cox of Plains was carrying
a large amount of money
when he was killed in a
crash Sept. 11 on U.S. 54 near
Bucklin. Bilbrey’s attorney,
Deanna Knapp, says her client drove up to the scene,
checked Cox’s pulse and then
picked the money up off the
road and drove away.
Knapp says the crash
triggered a flashback to the
violence Bilbrey had seen
in Vietnam and he shut
down.
Kansas jobless rate
unchanged in Sept.
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) —
Unemployment
remained
unchanged in Kansas in September, holding steady at a
seasonally adjusted 6.7 percent, the same as in August.
The Kansas Department
of Labor report released
Friday shows the economy
did show signs of improvement, adding 7,800 new jobs
over the past year.
Labor Secretary Karin
Brownlee says the number of initial and continuing unemployment claims
fell for the month. She described economic activity
as heading in the right direction, though at a slow
pace.
The labor force grew by
7,000 people, which an economist said indicates more
people are finding jobs
while others are showing
enough confidence in the
economy to begin looking
for employment.

Senate to end
subsidies to
some farmers
WASHINGTON (AP) —
The Senate has voted to end
direct payments to farmers
whose annual incomes exceed $1 million.
The 84-15 vote approving the provision by Oklahoma Republican Sen. Tom
Coburn came as the Senate worked into the early
morning hours Friday on a
vast spending bill.
Coburn argued that the
government shouldn’t be
subsidizing the highest
earning farmers at a time
of deep budget deficits. The
leaders of the Senate Agriculture Committee, who opposed Coburn, are working
on legislation that could
eliminate the entire $5 billion-a-year direct payment
program for farmers.
Direct payments go to
farmers regardless of crop
prices or yields. They are
relied on heavily by many
rice and cotton farmers in
the South.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) —
A new monthly survey of
bankers suggests the economy in rural areas of 10
Midwest and Plains states
continues to grow, but at
“an anemic pace.”
The overall Rural Mainstreet index for the region
improved to 52.9 in October from last month’s 52.2,
suggesting weak economic
growth. Anytime that in-
dex, which ranges from 0 to
100, is above 50, it suggests
the economy will grow.
Creighton
University
economist Ernie Goss, who
oversees the survey, says
this month’s results were
helped by companies linked
to agriculture that continue to experience healthy
growth.
Bankers in rural parts
of Colorado, Illinois, Iowa,
Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North
Dakota, South Dakota and
Wyoming are surveyed.

Opinion
Gadhafi’s death
offers opportunity,
not a guarantee
Moammar Gadhafi’s death
on Thursday cheats those who
wanted first to try him, then
execute him publicly, of a prolonged revenge.
That’s surely for the best.
The time and energy are much
better spent on the infinitely
complicated task of moving
from a personal, erratic dictatorship to a government based
on law and broad participation
by the governed.
Gadhafi ruled for 42 years.
He was an extraordinarily brutal man. A full list of those he
had murdered or caused to die
can never be made. He made
Libya the butt of jokes worldwide with idiocies while committing an endless string of
bestial cruelties to keep himself in power. The world is a
better place without him. History will write his indictment
in all of its ghastly detail without the need of a courtroom,
prosecutors and worldwide TV.
Because he is gone, the Arab
Spring can be sunnier. With
Gadhafi in power, Libya offered no hope to the Arab on
the street for a better Middle
East. Libya counted only on the
negative side of the equation.
Now it can play a positive role.
That’s a possibility, not a prediction.
With luck and wise help from
its friends, Libya’s rebels can
now become the creators of a
nation that will unite and serve
the people there and use its oil
wealth for the general good.
The United States can find
ways to be of use to the Libyans eager to realize that opportunity. But we probably should
wait to be asked.

Thompson’s zoo
made no sense to
people or animals
When the zany day wound
up in Zanesville, Ohio, Tuesday night, all but one of Terry
Thompson’s exotic animals
was dead or back in captivity.
Mr. Thompson was dead, too.
The
62-year-old
ex-con
killed himself after turning his wild animals loose
and causing a frantic, all-day
search by sheriff ’s officers
and other law enforcement
personnel.
Thompson’s menagerie included 18 Bengal tigers, 17 lions,
grizzly bears, cheetahs, wolves
and monkeys — a total of 56
wild animals, many of which
were exceedingly dangerous to
people or domestic animals.
Sheriff Matt Lutz did exactly what he should have done
when he armed deputies with
high-powered rifles, put them
in the back of pickups and
told them to shoot to kill.
The lesson from this bizarre day is that private zoos
stocked with predators should
not be allowed. Ohio’s laws required Thompson only to keep
the animals fed and caged.
They didn’t require him to be
a rational man — nor could
such a law be written.
Zanesville surely will persuade Ohio lawmakers to
make a repeat performance
impossible.
It is beside the point that
Thompson had just been released from federal prison,
where he had served a sentence for possessing illegal
firearms and owed $56,000 in
back taxes. Large predatory
animals should not be kept on
private property. Period.
Because they are dangerous
to people, pets and farm animals, animals that by nature
kill to eat belong in designated wilderness areas or in zoos
managed by public bodies.
Community rights should
trump personal rights when
public safety is at issue.

On punks, parades & protocol
Whether we need it or not, we
try to have staff meetings at the
Register about every two years.
So when City Administrator
Carl Slaugh said Tuesday the
City Council would not address
the recent survey by department
heads and council members, I
could relate. The hope is that
those four pages of testimony
about bad morale at City Hall
will somehow disappear.
In the city’s case, I would say
not.
Charges of duplicity, slander,
and micro-management against
city council members have created a toxic work environment
at City Hall. So far not one city
employee has been willing to go
on record of voicing his or her
complaints against the Council,
for fear of retribution.
That’s not to say we haven’t
been getting an earful.
Providing a safe and welcome
environment is crucial for creativity and productivity.
No, it’s not fun to deal with
complaints, but it’s better than
having a mass exodus of topnotch employees.
So I would encourage city
management to address staff
concerns to help get back that
“team” feeling among depart-

KUDOS to the Farm-City Days
Committee for a spectacular celebration last weekend. The turnout for the “Candy” parade was
fantastic. No need for trick or
treating after that haul of sweets
from passing entries.
I appreciated the hard work
people put in on the imaginative floats, but I could do without
the massive semi-trailers whose
presence detracted from the
homespun feel of the parade. Hay
bales and tractors say it best.
AS I STOOD on a corner
watching the throngs of people I
was taken by how many chose to
dress for the family day in an aggressive manner.
Black leather vests, bandanas
holding back stringy hair, heavy
chains attached to belt loops,
spiky bracelets, bared biceps that
showed skulls and crossbones —
not exactly parade attire for either a city or country mouse.
Women as well as men seemed
to take extra “care” to dress in an
unsavory manner.
When I was a teenager I
dressed in a way to provoke my
parents. I wore bell bottoms that
dragged across the ground and
flannel shirts with enough material that the artist Christo could
wrap the town.
And then I grew up.
I no longer wanted to embarrass either my parents or myself.
I was comfortable looking like a
sensible person who projected a
friendly look.
I always wonder what out-oftowners think of Iola with all of
its faux punks.
My hairdresser — oh, what
would we do without those conversations — said maybe these
people are letting their alter egos
come out — that despite their
respectable jobs and professions
they hanker to be a “bad boy,”
and so dress in what they think
is a dark, sexy way.
What’s my alter ego? Now that
I’m a grandmother, it’s probably
Mother Goose, complete with a
burp cloth and binkie.
And I’m fine with that.
Kansas elections can be bought
Kansas has no seashores, but
it will be hit — with 100 percent
certainty — by a green tsunami
in the summer of 2012, when the
state will experience a wave of
campaign spending unlike anything we’ve ever seen.
A couple weeks ago, writing
separately, several close observers of Kansas politics pointed out
that we were primed to experience several hotly contested state
senate primaries next August, as
conservative Republicans mount
a broad campaign against moderate incumbents, including Senate
President Steve Morris.
That’s true, and given more
weight by the fact that senate districts have not even been drawn
yet, so challengers don’t know
even where they’ll be running.
Still, the real news here is that
these senate campaigns are likely to be the most expensive ever.
What’s most frustrating is that
we won’t ever know how costly
they are, given the current status
of campaign finance laws, which
are — for all practical purposes —
nonexistent.
To be sure, there are campaign
laws on the books, and those generally are followed. But whole
waves of dollars can and do come
into campaigns, with no accountability at all. In a recent New Yorker article,
Jane Meyer introduced readers to
Art Pope, whose funding essentially bought the North Carolina
state legislature for Republicans
in the 2010 election.
Operating through various
groups, Pope contributed an estimated $2.2 million to 22 state
legislative races — about $100,000
each. This paid for distorting ads
across various media, and resulted in 18 wins for his favored can-

didates.
IN KANSAS, we’ve already
seen this phenomenon at work,
as Iowa’s American Future Fund
spent heavily and anonymously
on behalf of Derek Schmidt in
his race against incumbent Attorney General Steve Six. Six received outside money as well, but
from the Democratic Attorneys
General political action committee, whose funds are traceable.
Schmidt himself raised a bit over
$700,000, while Six received more
than $1.2 million.
Six’s grassroots fund-raising
advantage was consistently offset
by the unreported, unaccountable
spending by outside groups, who
can raise funds with no limits.
How much was spent? It’s mpossible to figure out.
In the 2008 Kansas state senate
elections, a total of $5,900,000 was
spent by all the candidates in the
forty races. This averages out to
about $71,000 per candidate, including both primary and general
elections. If an outside group targeted seven Republican primaries
with $2 million, those funds alone
would more than triple the average funding in the 2008 races. And
for anonymous donors with deep
pockets, such a relatively modest
amount could easily eliminate
the last bastion of moderation in
Kansas government. For their $2 million invest-

ment, donors would get a Kansas legislature that would be on
the way to reducing or eliminating the income tax, providing
more business incentives, and
sharply shifting the tax burden
to consumers. Those pesky environmental laws would be more
at risk, and cuts to government
services would likely continue as
the order of the day.
All for a paltry, unaccounted
for, couple million bucks.
“So what?” you might ask.
The campaign finance playing
field, while not perfect, is level.
Anyone can take advantage of
‘Super Pacs” and other 501 (c)
(4) groups that have sprung up
in the past two years. To be sure,
there will be opposing forces, but
the North Carolina experience
demonstrates how much a single
wealthy individual can do to skew
election results in a single state.
Kansas is a perfect target for
this coming tsunami. Campaigns
here have never been costly, nor
do the best-funded candidates
always win. But when a flood of
outside money pours in, welltargeted and far above past levels,
politics becomes a numbers game. And in this high-stakes contest, who wants to bet against the
green tsunami?

She figures at least half of
her 58 rooms are occupied by
either racers or race fans in

“We heard about it last
month, so it wasn’t a surprise,”
Patel said. “We’ll be busy.”
Super 8 motel owner Sandy

While business hasn’t been

were going to start arriving on
Friday.
RON WHITWORTH, owner
of the Humboldt Speedway,
hopes the economic impact of
having the King of America
races in Humboldt will grow
for years to come.
“This could be huge,” he
said.
Whitworth noted that attendance was down the first two
days of the races, not unexpected because of the first cold
snap of fall and the ongoing
economic doldrums enveloping
southeast Kansas.
“A lot of people can’t afford
to go to four nights of races,”
he said. “But they’ll get here
for the weekend.”
Driver John Allen of Chanute — whose auto parts store
is one of the main sponsors
for the King of America races
— agrees that the economic
impact will grow as more area
racing enthusiasts realize the
quality of competition.
Several United States Modified Touring Series champions,
combined with the best local
racing talent, have already
made for exciting races, Allen
said.
“It’s going to be even bigger
next year,” he said.

The U.S. military
presence
in
Iraq
stands at just under
40,000. All U.S. troops
are to exit the country
in accordance with a
deal struck between
the countries in 2008
when George W. Bush
was president.
Obama, an opponent
of the war from the
start, took office and
accelerated the end of
the conflict. In August
2010, he declared the
U.S. combat mission
over.
“Over the next two
months our troops in
Iraq, tens of thousands
of them, will pack up
their gear and board
convoys for the journey home,” Obama
said. “The last Ameri-
can soldier will cross
the border out of Iraq
with their heads held
high, proud of their
success and knowing that the American
people stand united
in our support for our
troops.”
More than 4,400
American
military
members have been
killed since the U.S.
and its allies invaded
Iraq in March 2003.
Two U.S. officials
had told The Associated Press last week
that the United States
would not keep troops
in Iraq past the yearend withdrawal deadline, except for some
soldiers attached to the
U.S. Embassy.
In recent months,
Washington had been
discussing with Iraqi
A5
leaders the possibility of several thousand
American troops remaining to continue
training Iraqi security
forces.
Throughout the discussions, Iraqi leaders refused to give U.S.
troops immunity from
prosecution in Iraqi
courts, and the Americans refused to stay
without that guarantee.
Moreover,
Iraq’s
leadership has been
split on whether it
wanted American forces to stay.
When the 2008 agreement requiring all U.S.
forces to leave Iraq was
passed, many U.S. officials assumed it would
inevitably be renegotiated so that Americans
could stay longer.

We all have to realize that each of us has flaws and shortcomings, and
we should accept others as they are, and in turn, hopefully, others will
accept us as we are. However, this does not mean that we should not try
to continually improve ourselves. We should always act and behave as
God would want us to, and treat others as we would want to be treated.
It is really a blessing from God to
know oneself; however, it seems that
we can usually find fault with others
much easier than we can with
ourselves. Seeing faults in others
should induce us to correct our own
weaknesses and help us strive to be
more understanding and patient with
those around us. Only God is perfect,
but if we seek His will and try to be the
best that we can be, we can each
become better persons and more
pleasing to our Heavenly Father.

As for me
and my House –
We will serve
the Lord.
Joshua 24:15
H Brown
Continued from A1
“being odd, maybe a little
insane.”
Over the next few years
events reinforced his hatred
of slavery, including repeated raids by pro-slavery
crowds on a free-state editor’s newspaper, first in St.
Louis and then in nearby
Illinois. Five times presses
were seized and tossed into
the Mississippi, and finally
the editor “was shot dead.”
“That’s when, from behind the pulpit, I swore to
dedicate the rest of my life
to the destruction of slavery,” Brown said.
In 1954, the Kansas-Nebraska Act upheld popular
sovereignty of states and
promised, Brown and other
abolitionists surmised, a
spread of slavery. Accentuation came when Missourians flooded Kansas
Territory polling places,
prevented free-staters from
voting and forced through a
referendum to make Kansas
pro-slavery.
The vote was a mathematical anomaly: With the
throng of Missourians voting, three times more votes
were cast than there were
men in Kansas to vote; that
was long before suffrage.
“We had 4 million black
brothers and sisters in
bondage then and I feared
that the number would multiply,” Brown said.
ABOLITIONISTS
organized in Kansas, and made
Lawrence their free-state
headquarters.
Soon violence erupted
and fortified the designation
of the period as “Bleeding
Kansas.”
Irregularities in support
of slavery by those governing Kansas were rampant,
but “it was the only government we had,” said Brown,
who then was in New York
helping to organize a community of freed slaves.
His sons, with as much
dedication to abolition as
their father, were in Kansas
and summoned Brown, asking him to “bring weapons.”
Lawrence was surrounded
by pro-slavery forces poised
for attack.
Perhaps it was Divine intervention that prevented
the attack being executed —
the pro-slavers were camped
outside the town and bitter
cold weather encouraged
them to negotiate a truce to
the Wakarusa War, which
never included a battle.
However, it was “open
season on free-staters,” and
Lawrence eventually was
raided, with some of the
town burned, including two
free-state newspapers.
The simmering conflict
between pro- and anti-slavery advocates continued.
Five pro-slave settlers
were hacked to death in
May 1956 in the Pottawatomie Massacre. Brown and
his band were credited with
the attack, but it never was
confirmed.
A response was appointment of a slave owner, Henry Clay Pate, as a U.S. marshal, with the mission of
“getting old Brown.”
“Pate and his boys were
camped 20 miles south of
Lawrence on the Santa Fe
Trail,” and were making a
habit of sacking nearby settlements, Brown recounted.
Meanwhile, Brown and
a much smaller force were
camped a few miles away
and wanted to engage Pate’s
force. It came at dawn and
after several hours of fighting, Brown took custody of
Pate when he came under a
white flag to discuss a truce.
Brown’s rationale was, “I
don’t suffer fools for long.”
With a national campaign
in mind, Brown planned
a raid on the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry in order to arm slaves and form
an army to drive into the
South.
The raid was an initial
success until a force of U.S.
Marines, led by Army officer Robert E. Lee, swamped
the arsenal. Two of Brown’s
sons, Watson and Oliver,
were killed and he was captured, after being wounded.
During his trial for treason, Brown’s counsel proposed he plead insanity,
which likely would have led
to his life being spared.
“I wouldn’t do it,” Brown
said. “If I had, all I stood for
would have been considered
the ravings of a lunatic. My
destiny was to die to end
slavery.”

I’m getting to know more
people in the (chemicalrelated) industry. The saying it’s not what you know,
but who you know is pretty
true.”
Clubine expects offers
from petroleum companies
situated on either the Gulf
Coast or East or West coasts.
“I’m not particular about
where a job is right now, I
just want to find one,” he
said. “I’ve never wanted to
venture too far from family,
but there aren’t a lot of entry levels jobs here or elsewhere in Kansas.”
He and his wife, the former Kari Gilmore, are both
from Iola.
“We may have to bite the
bullet and move, but eventually we hope to come back
to Kansas, which probably
would be to Kansas City
or Wichita. That would be
ideal.
“I let myself worry about
getting a job and I think
that’s good,” Clubine continued. “It motivates me to
do better,” in his research
and other master’s degree
studies.
CLUBINE’S
CURRENT
research involves synthesizing a crystalline material that can be incorporated
into a device to detect radiation in freight entering the
United States, in shipments
from Mexico and Canada as
well as further abroad.
“Right now helium-3,
which is very expensive
because it’s a byproduct of
nuclear fission, is used in
the detection process,” he
said. “It’s in glass tubes and

college unsure when full-time employment will come
their way.
detectors are bulky and immobile. What we’re working to develop would be
much less expensive and in
hand-held detectors.”
The key to the project’s
success is development of
a semi-conductor from syn-
thesis of silicon, he said.
“You can’t use metals
because they are conductors, or ceramics, because they’re insulators,”
Clubine
noted,
which
leaves silicone as the likely
answer.

path, I’m not too worried about
having enough money to retire
with,” said Weiner, a Thrive
Allen County employee. “If I
didn’t go to college, I would be
much more concerned with
putting 10 percent of what I
make away right now.”
But, Wolf said, it doesn’t
matter what situation someone
is in. Every day a potential investor waits, costs him money
in the long run.
That’s no small potatoes. For
perspective, using an 8 percent
return rate, if a 35-year-old
plans to have $500,000 in a retirement fund by the time he is
65, he would need to save $4,075
each year — $2,290 more than if
he had started at age 25. Someone who starts at 45 would
have to save $9,920 each year to
match the $1,785 a 25-year-old
would need to save each year
to have the same $500,000 for
retirement.
For now, Weiner said he’s
putting money in a checking
account as opposed to a savings because the checking generates more interest.
“What’s the point of having
a savings account if it doesn’t
do me any good,” he said. “It’s
all about spending your money
wisely.”
But human nature is to
spend, Wolf said.
“To save money, you have to
hide it from yourself,” he said.
“If you can feel and see it, it’s
probably going to find a new
home.”
Weiner’s reluctance to dive
into investments is shared by
many, Wolf said.
“People that age just don’t
think about it. Retirement is
a long ways away,” he said,
adding that the mentality is
a result of being young, not a
result of a specific generation.
“It’s not something that’s in
the front of their minds.”
Iolan Ashley Nellic, 27, had
money in savings and a 401(k)
plan through her last job in
Kansas City, Mo. but since losing it in February, she’s been
struggling just to get by, let
alone think about 30 or 40 years
down the line.
“I try not to think about retirement because you have to
work before you can retire,”
she said. “I’m more worried
about having money next
month than I am about having
money in 2042.”

“

financial adviser
“
Though not having a stable
career does hinder investing, it
doesn’t prohibit it. Since graduating from Kansas State University with a degree in chemical engineering,
Iola native Ben Clubine has
struggled to find full-time employment. Despite the hurdle,
the future and eventual retirement haven’t escaped Clubine
or his wife’s notice.
“I’ve actually started an
IRA and I put a small portion
each pay period in it,” he said.
“That’s a good way to get used
to a habit of saving. We are
young, and we have time on
our side, but I think it’s important to look ahead.”
His wife also invests in a
401(k) plan. She works from
home as a professional baker.
Clubine, Weiner, Nellic and
Wolf all have different perspectives on when and how to
invest, however, they all share
the same thoughts about Social
Security — don’t count on it.
“Social Security probably
is going to go bankrupt. I’m
not counting on it and that’s
the way I think my generation
should look at it,” Clubine said.
“If you don’t and it dries up,
you’ll be in a sorry situation.”
Weiner agreed.
“We’re paying into it and
we’re not going to get any return,” he said.
Although the future of the
benefits program is uncertain,
it shouldn’t impact someone’s
outlook on retirement, Wolf
said.
“Social Security was never
intended to be a full retirement
plan,” he said. “It was a supplement.”
Despite the ever-changing
world and all its fluidity, Wolf
maintains the stock market is
the best bet for longterm savings.
“Things don’t change that
much,” he said.

couldn’t weave into a casserole. They were resourceful.
Grizzly by today’s standards, I enjoyed, with no
apparent mental scarring,
watching headless chickens flop across the backyard after Grandpa had
wrung their necks with
his big, strong hands.
Every day we had three
sit-down meals. Meat and
potatoes in some form was
the main course. A homemade dessert followed the
noon and evening meals.
Conversation also was
a mealtime staple, and at
some point Dad or Grandpa would admonish me
to “clean your plate,” an
imperative from having
lived through the lean,
tough times of the 1930s.
Besides the chickens
and ducks, we had a vegetable garden that covered a full lot and filled
scores of Mason jars for
use through winter and
spring until a new crop
came on. We also often
ate rabbits and squirrels,
as well as fish and, a real
treat for me, frog legs.
Resourcefulness probably never was mentioned
in the household, but
that’s what I experienced
with my elders who to
their dying days feared
that the Great Depression
might come again, and
they had no intention of
being ill-prepared.
“OUT OF THE DUST,”
by Karen Hesse, is based
in the 1930s, when dust
storms ravaged the central plains, brought on by
severe drought and years
of farmers ignoring any
form of soil conservation.

DAR meets
Cofachique Chapter of
the Daughters of the American Revolution met Tuesday
at the Townhouse in Iola.
For the program, Larry
Manes told the story behind
a double tombstone in the
Moran cemetery having the
names of Robert McFarland and James Harclerode
who both died on Feb. 25,
1884.
Prior to 1862, land could be
bought for $1.25 an acre and
was processed at the land office in Fort Scott. Under the
Homestead Act, passed in
1862, a person could settle
on 160 acres, make improvements and after five years
owned the land.
After 1880, when railroads were being built in
this area, land along the
tracks was granted to the
railroads allowing the proceeds of the sales to finance
the construction. As a result of this multiple system of ownership, two and
sometimes three people
owned the same property.
The Land League was
formed to settle resulting disputes more quickly
than taking arguments
through the court system. In 1884, Mrs. Hawes’
brothers, James and John
Harclerode, and a nephew,
Robert McFarland, began a small home on land
near Moran that was also
claimed by Hugh Guilland.
Mrs. Hawes agreed not to
continue the construction
until the ruling from the
Land League was heard,
but when Hugh Guilland
and his sons, Ike, Joe and
Andy, rode out to find construction continuing, an
argument ensued.
The Guillands left but
returned after John Harclerode went after supplies.
James Harclerode and Robert McFarland were killed.
The Guillands were kept
in jail in Iola for a week,
but fearing a mob lynching
they were moved to Ottawa.
The next meeting will be
in November at the Humboldt Public Library with
Irene Smith serving as
hostess.
It arrived in dire need
of some TLC — with a
healthy dose of paint
stripper.
By the time Bill Stierwalt had finished a
full remodel of a threewheeled Troxel Tadpole
bicycle, he figures he
invested about 40 hours
of labor to convert the
rusted, three-wheeled
bicycle into a shining
— and functional —
work of art.
The restoration was
among the more laborintensive projects Stierwalt has completed as
part of his fledgling bicycle repair shop north
of Iola.
He estimated the bike
was manufactured in
the 1940s or 1950s and
had been repaired some
over the years. The extra coats of paint were
evidence.
He counted at least
five coats, the exterior

of which was a faded
metallic blue.
“I stripped that down
and saw yellow, then
gray,” he said.
Stripping the paint
took the bulk of the
time.
“I just kept working
on it until my hands
hurt,” he said. “Then
I’d stop a while and
start back on it.”
Once down to bare
metal, Stierwalt added
a coat of primer followed by a coat of brilliant,
metallic
blue
paint.
The chain and bearings were replaced,
as were the handlebar grips, pedals and
wheels.
The tires were ordered from the Internet.
“That’s usually the
best place to get good
prices,” he said.
The
bicycle
was
turned over to Iolan
Glenda Comstock on
Friday.
Stierwalt has a few
other projects to keep
himself occupied, including another threewheeled bicycle. Unlike
the Tadpole, which has
two wheels in the front
and one in the back,
the other three-wheeler
looks more like a traditional tricycle.
He also is in the midst
of restoring a bicycle
built for two, and does
other routine repairs
for cycling enthusiasts.
The avocation gives
the 47-year-old Stierwalt a healthy distraction, he said, from the
trials of life.
He is a recovering
alcoholic and opened
the bike shop shortly
after tasting his last
sip of alcohol about 10
months ago.
“This is important to
me,” he said.
Stierwalt’s shop is
at 1061 Texas Rd., or
about five miles north
and two miles west of
Iola. He may be reached
at 363-2008.

Bulldogs plow past Mustangs into playoffs
By JOCELYN SHEETS
[email protected]
Attention now turns to getting
a victory on the final night of
the 2011 football season for Iola
High’s Mustangs.
Anderson County High’s Bulldogs pounded out the hopes of
the Mustangs of making the Kansas Class 4A playoffs with a 62-30
win here Friday night. The Bulldogs used the one-two punch of
seniors Thomas Mudd and Seth
Bowman in a running game that
amassed 467 yards.
“It stinks to lose. Everybody
wants to get to the playoffs and we
didn’t play well enough tonight to
have that opportunity,” said Rick
Horton, Mustang head coach.
“We told the guys that now we go
out and get a win Thursday night.
We work hard in practices and send
our seniors out with a win.
“It’s important for our underclassmen to get a win next week
to help go into the off-season.”
Iola (1-7) travels to LaCygne on
Thursday for the season finale
against Prairie View High’s Buffalos. The Buffalos lost 53-0 to Fort
Scott Friday in 4A District 6 play.
Anderson County scored on
the third play of the game. It was
through the air as Jack Rickabaugh found Mudd for a 52-yard
scoring strike. It was 28-0 by the
10:06 mark of the second quarter.
The Mustangs finally broke
through to score on an 11-play, 65yard march. When Mason Coons
connected with Jerrik Sigg for
14 yards an extra 15 yards were
tacked on because of personal
foul penalty against the Bulldogs.
Clint Heffern pulled in a sixyard pass from Coons on a critical
fourth down play.

Sigg scored the first of his four
touchdowns on the night. It was a
six-yard run with 5:24 left to play
in the second quarter.

Pony squads lose finales
By JOCELYN SHEETS
[email protected]
Iola Middle School’s Brice Aiello (32) puts his shoulder down to
grind out a few more yards for the Pony eighth-grade team against
Parsons here Thursday. Iola led 14-0 at halftime but lost its final
game 20-14.
Iola Middle School’s eighthgrade Ponies did not score in the
second half of Thursday’s home
game. They still led Parsons Middle
School’s Vikings 14-12 with just
over seven minutes to go.
The Ponies had a 52-yard touchdown run by Jake Gumfory and a
five-yard run to the end zone by
Brice Aiello in the first half. Brett
Taylor tossed a two-point conversion pass to Gus Hopkins.
Iola’s defense was holding the
Vikings at bay. Unfortunately,
the Vikings broke lose in the second half, scoring 20 unanswered
points to win 20-14.
“These kids played their hearts
out all night. The final score
doesn’t take away from the effort,” said Marty Taylor, IMS
head football coach.
In the seventh-grade game, Parsons led 8-0 after one quarter, then
scored 32 points in the second to
put the game out of reach. Iola
trailed 46-0 in the third quarter.
The Ponies had a touchdown
drive capped by a five-yard Chase
Regehr reception from Ben Cooper. Ethan Scheibmeier had a twopoint conversion run. Parsons
won the game 46-8.

World Series all even
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Down to
their last three outs, and in danger of dropping into a serious
World Series deficit, the Texas
Rangers rallied against St. Louis’
vaunted bullpen for a 2-1 victory
Thursday night.
Josh Hamilton and Michael
Young hit sacrifice flies in the
ninth inning to give Texas the win.
For the second straight night,
Cardinals pinch-hitter Allen
Craig greeted reliever Alexi
Ogando with a go-ahead single.
This time, Craig did it in the seventh. In Game 1, his hit in the
sixth sent the Cards to a 3-2 win.

[email protected]
Marmaton Valley High’s Cole Becker rushed for 182 yards and three touchdowns,
while leading the Wildcat defense with 11 tackles, an interception and a fumble
recovery in a 36-20 win over visiting St. Paul Friday. The win secures a playoff berth
for the Wildcats.
No. 1 Madison downs Titans
MADISON — Not that
top-ranked Madison High
needed any extra advantages, but they took several
away from visiting Southern Coffey County Friday
nonetheless.
In a five-minute span
in the first quarter, Madison recovered two Titan
fumbles for touchdowns, a
third on the SCC one-yard
line and muffed kick at the
Titan 10.

thumping.
The loss drops SCC to 3-5

host White City on Thursday. Madison, the state’s
top Eight-Man Division I
squad, improves to 8-0.
“We played hard,” Titan
head coach Korey Lankton
said. “We’re a little banged
up right now and also had
to make some personnel
changes that meant some
freshmen and sophomores
were getting more playing
time.
“You know you are going to make some mistakes
with that much youth on

Madison really magnifies
those kinds of growing
pains,” he continued. “We
just couldn’t get anything
going at all offensively.”

MORAN — Marmaton
Valley High squashed three
prime scoring chances for
St. Paul High Friday, and in
so doing, secured a postseason berth.
On three occasions, St.
Paul had first down inside
the Wildcat 15-yard line,
twice late in the first half.
Each ended with a turnover, including a pair of
key stops late in the first
half that secured a 10-point
advantage for the Wildcats.
Marmaton Valley added
a pair of third-quarter
touchdowns and coasted
from there in a 36-20 win.
The victory lifts Marmaton Valley’s record overall to 5-2 and 4-0 in Kansas
Eight-Man Division I, District 2. That ensures the
Wildcats a playoff berth
regardless of how they fare
on Thursday at Chetopa.
“Their turnovers made
the difference,” Wildcat
head coach Kent Houk said.
Marmaton Valley’s bruising defense played a large
role in the St. Paul misfires.
On numerous occasions, Indian ball carriers were met
at the line of scrimmage by
an avalanche of Marmaton
Valley defenders.
That forced two fumbles
by St. Paul, both of which
were recovered by the Wildcats.
And with less than a minute left in the second quarter, Marmaton Valley’s Cole
Becker stepped in front of
an Indian pass at the Wildcat 5. Becker’s pick came
one play after St. Paul corralled an interception on
Zack English’s deflected
pass and had hoped to regain some lost momentum.
But with Marmaton Valley back in possession, the
Wildcats still led 24-14.
Becker was responsible
for all three Marmaton Valley touchdowns in the first
half, scampering 48 and 10
yards in the first quarter
and 50 yards in the second.
The first erased an early
8-0 St. Paul lead. The second gave Marmaton Valley
a 16-8 lead. The Wildcats
never trailed again.
St. Paul scored early in
the second period to close to
16-14, but Becker responded
with his third touchdown to
lead 24-14.
Nathan Fry scored on
an 11-yard run early in the
third period, and Carlos
Gonzales scored on a 12yard run to push the lead to
36-14.
St. Paul scored in the final 17 seconds for the final
margin.
Becker wound up with
182 yards on 19 carries, 11
tackles on defense and a
fumble recovery to go with
his interception.
English completed one
pass, an eight-yard toss to
Lucas Hamlin.
Fry also had eight tackles
and a fumble recovery for
the Wildcats. Nathan Smart
had 11 stops.
“The kids are real excited, but they’re still focused,” Houk said, noting
Thursday’s contest at Chetopa determines whether
Marmaton Valley will be
District champs and likely
play a home playoff game
the following week.

HUMBOLDT —
Only
down by 14 points late in
the first half, Humboldt
High’s Cubs were still in
Friday night’s Class 2-1A
Distirct 1 game.
“We competed in the first
half. We were making plays
but didn’t execute well
enough,” said Mike Miller,
Humboldt head coach.
Olpe
High’s
Eagles
punched another touchdown through before the
break. They led 21-0 on
their way to a 41-0 victory.
“We have to use this
game to get better and I
feel we were better tonight.
Olpe just pounds the ball at
you,” Miller said.
The Cubs fell to 1-7 overall and are out of the playoff picture. They have
one more game next Friday night at home against
Jayhawk-Linn High’s Jayhawks.
“That’s a game we have
a shot at winning. We want
to get that win to end the
season and jump-start basketball season and give us
some confidence going into
the offseason,” Miller said.
Humboldt had a minusthree in the rushing column Friday night. Grayson
Pearish was 6 of 18 passing

our wildcat offense but we
weren’t blocking anyone.”

“A couple of long interception returns let the
score get out of hand in the
second quarter, but the kids
came out and played a good
second half,” said Taylor of
the seventh-grade contest.
The IMS eighth-grade
team finished 3-4 on the season with Thursday’s loss.
Aiello ran for 92 yards
on 23 carries. He ended the
season with 902 yards of
rushing for the Ponies.
Jake
Gumfory,
who
stepped in as fullback when
Keanan Badders broke his
ankle, had 79 yards on five
carries.
“The backs ran hard all
year and tonight was no different. Jake only had a couple of weeks at fullback and
did a fantastic job,” Taylor
said.
Brett Taylor completed
two of four passes for 23
yards. Hopkins had one
catch for three and Aiello
caught one for 20 yards.
Ethan Sigg paced the
Pony defense with 10 tackles and Aiello had eight
tackles. Taylor made six
tackles, Gumfory had four
stops and Jake Kress had
two tackles.
Kress and Taylor each
caused a fumble and Kress
recovered two fumbles.
“Ethan Sigg had a great
night on defense. This group
had a lot of hurdles put in
front of them this year and
I’m very proud of the way
they gave it everything they
had,” Taylor said of the
eighth-grade players.
Iola’s seventh grade end-

of size with their heart and
played hard every game.

tickets available for the final races. Individual grandstand tickets are $25.
The race is sanctioned
and produced by United
States Modified Tour Series.
Drivers from 14 states
have been racing the past
two nights to get into tonight’s feature races. The
goal is to make it to the 75lap A-feature, to go for the
$15,000 first-place purse.
Racing begins at 6 o’clock
tonight at Humboldt Speedway.
“Everything is going
well,” said Rhenda Whitworth, who along with her
husband Ron own and operate Humboldt Speedway.
“The racing has been great
the first two nights and
we’re anticipating it to be
very good Friday night, and
tremendous on Saturday.”
USMTS
owner
Todd
Staley echoed Whitworth’s
words.
“The racing has been
awesome. The track here
at Humboldt is in excellent condition as Ron and
Rhenda have done a great
job with this facility,” Staley said.
“We need to get more
people in the stands Friday
and especially Saturday
night. We know it has been
cold the first two nights of
racing but the weather is
supposed to be beautiful
the next two days and evenings.”
Overall for tonight’s racing, there will be $150,000
paid out. Each of the main
event qualifiers pocket a
minimum $1,500. The King
of America Modified Nationals is the richest dirt
track race in the history of
the Sunflower State, Staley
said.
On Wednesday, Jess Folk
Jr. and Justin Folk, both of
Iola, and Chanute’s John
Allen ran their qualifying
races. Drivers accumulate
points through time trials, heat races and main
events each night. Drivers
may purchased a mulligan,
which allows the driver to
forfeit their points and try
to qualify again.
After Wednesday, Allen was 11th on the point
chart, Justin Folk was 13th
and Jess Folk was 15th. All
three had purchased a mulligan.
“I was in the B feature for
Saturday after Wednesday
night but then got knocked
down to the C feature after
Thursday’s racing,” Jess
Folk said Friday afternoon.
“John used his mulligan
last night (ending up sixth
on the chart).
“Justin is sitting about
the middle of the B feature
right now. He’s going to
gamble and not race again.
Me, I’m using my mulligan
tonight (Friday). I think I
have a good chance to get

Ryan Gustin, 2011 USMTS national champion, ran his qualifying round Wednesday
night to open the King of America Modified Nationals at Humboldt Speedway. Gustin
and 29 other modified drivers will race tonight for a $15,000 first-place prize and the
title of “king.”

into the B feature.”
The six drivers earning the most points each
day are locked into the A
feature race. There are 18
guaranteed starting spots
in the championship race
tonight. The driver with the
highest overall points will
qualify to start on the pole.
“They take the top 12
drivers out of the B feature
into the A,” Jess Folk said.
“We loved the way we
had our cars set up for the
track on Wednesday. We’re
running with our own chassis and motors. We set the
cars a little heavy and it’s
working for the track.”
Fuel is a main concern
for the Folks. Jess Folk said
a 75-lap race is big and fuel
would be tight “but I think
we can do it.”
Staley said they ended
up with around 100 cars in
the modified event. How
many feature races (B, C, D,
etc.) in tonight’s show will
depend on the number of
drivers.
The championship feature race has a 30-car
field.
Wednesday’s race
winner was 2011 USTMS champion Ryan
Gustin of Marshalltown, Iowa. Gustin
ended fourth in the
points standings for
the night. Terry Phillips of Springfield,
Mo., was top-point man.
In Thursday’s racing,
Jon Tesch, Watertown, S.D.,
was having a perfect night
at the Speedway. He posted
the fastest lap in his qualifying group, came from
sixth position to win his
heat race.
Tesch led the main feature race for 26 laps but the
race is 30 laps long. Johnny
Scott of Las Cruces, N.M.,
stormed from deep in the
field. Scott caught and
passed Tesch with four laps
to go and won the Schwab’s
Tinker Chop Qualifier.
There was another qualifying round of races Friday
night. Fans were also treated to an after-races concert
by The Rusty Knight Band.
“The hot chocolate has
been going good and the
chili,” Whitworth said of
concessions during the first
two nights of racing. “It’s
been cold but the racing
been really good.
“We hope people come
out Friday and Saturday to
see the great action on the
track. These guys are really,
really good.”
Whitworth said they
have served a lot of people
at breakfast, and it’s been
interesting watching and
listening to the stories.
“We’ve got a couple here
on their honeymoon. Outof-state people are talking
about how impressive the
track is here in this small
town. That’s great to hear,”
Whitworth said.
There have been 30 to 50
drivers competing in the BMod races this week. Nick
Newton of Kansas City,
Kan., won the B-Mod A-feature Thursday night. Humboldt’s Levi McGowen ran
fourth and Tim VanGotten
of Chanute was sixth.
The King will be crowned
tonight at Humboldt.

ACCC golf ends fall play ACCC harriers run well
By JOCELYN SHEETS
[email protected]
Allen County Community College’s golf team
finished the fall portion of
Kansas Jayhawk Conference tournament play earlier this month.
The Red Devils played
in the third Jayhawk Conference designated tournament Oct. 3 at Hesston Golf
Club, on a warm but windy
day.
“We did not follow
through on the progress
made from the previous
tournament but got more
of our freshmen introduced
to 36 holes in one day,” said
Mike Hayes, ACCC golf
coach.
Hayes was disappointed
in the Red Devils’ eighthplace finish in the tournament. Dodge City won the
tournament with a 589, just
a stroke ahead of Hutchinson, 590.
Allen County’s golfers
combined for a 671.
Freshman Clinton Moore
paced the Red Devils, tying
for 19th. Moore finished
with a 158 with 18-hole
rounds of 82 and 76.
Jake Morrison, another
freshman, carded a 168
(83-85) and freshman Seth
Walden had a 171 (90-81).
They finished tied for 34th
and 38th, respectively.
Freshman Jacob Weber
shot a 175 (91-84) for a tie for
40th and sophomore Casey
Bettis ended 44th with a 177
(90-87).
“Jake and Seth played in
this tournament. Clinton
had another solid performance, placing in the top
20 as he has most of the fall
schedule,” Hayes said.
“We did not putt well as a
team. The greens were very
fast.”
The Red Devils are eighth
in the overall Jayhawk Conference standings after the
three fall tournaments. In
the spring, there are three
more designated conference tournaments.
Red Devil soccer closes season
By JOCELYN SHEETS
[email protected]
Soccer season came to a
close for Allen County Community College Thursday.
The Red Devil women won
2-0 over host Northeastern
Oklahoma in Miami, Okla.
Allen County’s men lost 4-2.
Kayla Besmer scored a
goal and had an assist on
a goal scored by Sahayla
Griggs. Cheace Mahaulu
played in goal for ACCC and
had 10 saves.
Matt Searcy and Lance
Minner found the net for
Allen County’s men. Searcy
and Melvin Gray were credited with an assist apiece.
Aurelio Rodriguez and
Jordan Drake played in
goal against NEO. Each had
six saves.
At home Tuesday, the
ACCC women lost 3-0 to
Northern Oklahoma-Tonkawa and the men dropped
a 2-0 decision.
The Red Devil women
ended the season at 6-11-1
overall and 3-8-1 in Jayhawk
Conference play. The ACCC
men were 3-12 and 2-8.
Neither team made the
Region VI playoffs.
By JOCELYN SHEETS
[email protected]
Making a run for top
team and individual spots
in Region VI and Jayhawk
Conference cross country,
Allen County Community College’s runners
finished up their regular
season last weekend at
the McPherson College
Invitational.
The Red Devil teams
did not go to Butler Community College’s meet
Friday. Allen County
head coach Vince DeGrado is working his runners
to prepare for the 2011 Region VI/Jayhawk Conference meet Oct. 31 in Garden City.
Allen County’s men
currently are ranked 19th
in the NJCAA cross country poll. Three other Jayhawk Conference teams
are in the top 20. Colby is
fifth-ranked while Butler
is 15th and Hutchinson is
20th.
“Our men’s team has a
shot at winning the program’s first ever confer-
ence championship and
finish higher in the region than we’ve ever finished,” DeGrado said.
Gabby Ruiz, who ran
fourth at McPherson, tied
for second on the ACCC
women’s all-time cross
country list. Ruiz ran the
5K race last week in 19
minutes, 39.80.
“I see her breaking that
record at the conference
meet. She has established
herself as one of the top
runners in the region and
conference,”
DeGrado
said.
Brianna Jacobs finished 38th at McPherson in 21:43.80 and Kim
Boyle turned in a time
of 22:06.50. DeGrado said
both women gained more
experience with the 5K
distance and now are
starting to figure things
out.
Evan Adams led the
Red Devil men at McPherson, taking 12th in the 8K
race. He ran the course in
27:24.30. Tegan Michael
placed 18th in 27:42.10, fol-
lowed by Garrett Colglazer in 19th at 27:44.30.
Josh Whittaker was
ACCC’s No. 4 runner
last week placing 26th in
28:05.30. Camille Charvet
was 37th in 28:38.50, followed by Jacob Spence
in 46th at 29:02.50, Kyle
Stromgren in 49th at
29:17, Gerald Christian in
53rd at 29:26.20 and Josh
Klubek in 33:32.10.
DeGrado said Adams
started conservatively in
the race and ran pretty
tentatively until the very
end when he started picking off runners from other teams. Michael, who
has run No. 1 for the Red
Devils this season, was
hampered by a side stitch
in the middle of the race.
“Garrett keeps impressing me along the
way. He has come a long
way since the beginning
of the season. Josh Whittaker is another runner
who is ready for that next
step and needs to just believe in himself,” DeGrado said.

Continued from B1
The Rangers, however,
were not done quite yet.
Now, after a travel day, they
will host Game 3 on Saturday night. Matt Harrison is
set to start for the Rangers
against Kyle Lohse.
The Cardinals’ Jaime
Garcia and the Rangers’
Colby Lewis both pitched
two-hit ball through six innings, and Texas shortstop
Elvis Andrus saved a run
with an outstanding defensive play.
A night after a cold,
rainy opener, it was slightly
warmer, with a game time
temperature of 50 degrees.
Stan Musial, the Cardinals
Hall of Famer who turns 91
next month, attended the
game at Busch Stadium,

HMS football team ends
season with win at Caney
CANEY — Humboldt
Middle School’s football
team concluded the 2011
season a week ago Thursday. The Cubs did so in historic fashion.
“The Cubs have never
beaten the Bullpups since
the start of middle school
football in Humboldt. That
is no longer true,” said Matt
Kerr, HMS head coach.
Humboldt rolled over
Caney Valley 38-6. That put
the Cubs’ final record at 4-3.
Corey Whitcomb had
combined rushing and re-
ceiving yards of over 300.
He had runs of 99 yards
and one yard in the second
period. Tyler Korte had a
quarterback sneak for a
touchdown and Bryce Isaac
had a two-point conversion.
All the rest of the scoring
was by Whitcomb. Tanner
Orth caught two two-point
conversion passes. Isaac
was the leading tackler for
the game.
“We as a team grew stronger as the season went on and
got better,” Kerr said. “I’m
proud of these young men.
Series title in franchise
history, had not lost consecutive games since Aug.
23-25 at Boston and was
hoping to avoid a repeat of
last year, when the Rangers
went to San Francisco and
were swept by the Giants
11-7 and 9-0 in the first two
games. The Giants went
on to win the Series in five
games — with the finale
also scoreless through six
innings.
Teams winning the opener have won seven of the
last eight titles, 12 of the
last 14 and 19 of the last 23.
Of the 52 clubs taking 2-0
Series leads, 41 have gone
on to win, including eight
straight and 15 of the last
16. The exception was the
1996 Atlanta Braves, who
won the first two games at
Yankee Stadium and then
lost four straight.
Of teams that won Game
2 to even the Series, 29 of 54
have gone on to win — but
just two of the last seven,
the 2002 Angels and the 2009
Yankees.

Abortion restrictions eased by state officials
WICHITA, Kan. (AP)
— Kansas officials are
easing contentious new
regulations
governing
abortion clinics, but the
move may not be enough
to placate abortion providers who have already
persuaded a federal judge
to block earlier versions,
The Associated Press has
learned.
The AP obtained an
advance copy of the new
permanent rules that will
take effect Nov. 14. A comparison with the temporary version of the rules
shows Kansas Department of Health and Environment officials have
removed some of the pro-
visions that have been
criticized during a public
comment period and in a
federal lawsuit.
The revised regulations no longer specify required procedure and patient room sizes and give
clinics wider latitude to
adjust a room’s temperature. They also pare down
the list of required medications and equipment
doctors need to have on
hand and no longer require clinics to have a
large janitorial room per
each procedure room.
But the bulk of the
original provisions remain, including rules
that require abortion
providers to have clinical privileges at a hospi-
“
Although the regulations have changed
in some ways, they remain unacceptable ...
including running roughshod over patient
confidentiality by giving the state broad access to private medical records
— Bonnie Scott Jones, legal counsel
tal within 30 miles of an
abortion clinic and that
require patient medical
records to be available at
the clinic for state health
department officials to review.
Kansas Department of
Health and Environment
spokeswoman Miranda
Steele said in an email
that while the temporary
regulations were reasonable based on industry
standards, the public
comment period served
its purpose.
“KDHE took into account the suggestions and
input received during the
public comment period
and made some changes
to the regulations, but
maintaining the same
intent — to ensure the
safety of patients,” Steele
said.
U.S.
District
Judge
Regents approve CEO salary increases
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) —
The Kansas Board of Regents has approved salary
increases for the heads
of its six universities,
including sizeable market adjustments for three
CEOs.
The Lawrence JournalWorld reports that all of
the university leaders received a 1.8 percent costof-living increase for the
coming year.
The increases, approved
on an 8-1 vote on Thursday, were higher for the
leaders at Fort Hays State
University, Kansas State
University and Pittsburg
State University.
Increases for those
three ranged from 12.2
percent to 14.7 percent,
including a $50,000 boost
for Kansas State President
Kirk Schulz. Steve Scott,
president of Pittsburg
State, will receive a 14.7
percent market increase
and Ed Hammond, president of Fort Hays State,
12.2 percent.
“We all believe we have
great university leaders at
our regents institutions,”
said Regent Fred Logan
Jr. of Leawood when the
plan was presented to the
board.
Logan said the adjustments for Fort Hays State,
Kansas State and Pittsburg State were because
those presidents were being paid less than their
peers at other universities
nationwide. He added that
the 1.8 percent base increase for all CEOs “was
not pro forma. It is a vote
of confidence.”
The increases will take
effect Jan. 1 and will be
paid through a combination of public and private
endowment funds. Regent
Chairman Ed McKechnie
said the details of how
much of the increases
will be paid in state funds
or private sources must be
determined
Schulz will see his
salary go from $350,000
to $400,000; Scott from
$213,000 to $248,378; Hammond from $222,860 to
$255,200; University of
Kansas Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little from
$425,000 to $432,650; and
Wichita State President
Don Beggs from $277,160
to $282,150. The rate for
Emporia State’s leader
will be determined when
the new president is hired.
McKechnie said the new
rates were the caps placed
on compensation from all
sources.
Regent Tim Emert of
Independence was the
lone vote against the pay
increases, objecting to the
manner by which the lead-
“
ROXANA HEGEMAN
Associated Press
ers would be paid. He said
all of the increases should
come from state funds, not
student tuition or private
funds.
“The state Legislature
and governor, for some
reason, refuse to step up
to the plate and reward excellence,” Emert said.
Emert also said he was
concerned about the employees who are not getting raises.
“All the people keeping
the engines running are
not receiving increases,”
he said.
But Christine DowneySchmidt of Inman voted
for the increase, because
it was the one way for the
board to provide raises.
“It seems we have asked
more and more and more
from these presidents and
the chancellor. We are asking more, we ought to be
able to deliver,” she said.
Carlos Murguia in July
blocked the temporary
regulations from taking effect after abortion
providers said the rules
would have forced the closure of two abortion clinics that would have had
to make extensive building renovations in order
to comply. Murguia has
since ordered attorneys
to submit briefs by Friday analyzing the similarities or differences between the permanent and
temporary regulations.
Attorneys representing
the two clinics — the Center for Women’s Health
in Overland Park and the
Aid for Women clinic in
Kansas City — indicated
the changes would do little to end the legal fight.
“Although the regulations have changed in
some ways, they remain
unacceptable, imposing
unnecessary and unreasonable
requirements
that will prevent physicians from providing the
full range of reproductive health services to the
women of Kansas, and
running roughshod over
patient
confidentiality
by giving the state broad
access to private medical records,” said Bonnie
Scott Jones, an attorney
with the New York-based
Center for Reproductive
Rights who represents
the Overland Park clinic.
“We are carefully evaluating the changes now,
and we are considering
all legal options.”
Attorney Cheryl Pilate, who represents the
Kansas City clinic, said
they also are evaluating
the permanent regulations and assessing their
impact on clinic operations.
“At this point, we are
keeping all of our legal
options open and will
take action as appropriate, in the near future,”
she said in an email.
The new clinic licensing regulations are part
of a wave of new restrictions on abortion this
year in Kansas, where
abortion opponents have
capitalized on the election of Republican Gov.
Sam Brownback, an outspoken abortion opponent. Stricter licensing
regulations were vetoed
in 2003 and 2005 by thenGov. Kathleen Sebelius,
an abortion rights Democrat who is now U.S.
health and human services secretary.

Iolans hurt
in wreck
Six Iolans were taken to area
hospitals after they were injured
Thursday evening in a singlecar accident in rural Greenwood
County.
According to the Kansas
Highway Patrol, Irsan Yusmil,
48, was eastbound on U.S. 54,
about seven miles west of Eureka, when his 1997 Toyota Corrola
left the side of the roadway and
began to overturn. The vehicle
broke through a fence before
landing upright and coming to
rest.
Yusmil and three passengers,
Kania Wijayanti, 4, Herini Wijayanti, 45, and Sarah A. Yusmil,
3, all were taken to Susan B. Allen Memorial Hospital in El Dorado.
Two others, Noraini Yusuf,
68, and Yunita Yusuf, 14, were
transported to Greenwood County in Eureka.
According to KHP, none of
the six passengers was wearing
a seat belt.
King speaks to Rotary
An “economic summit”
meeting to consider the future of Southeast Kansas
will be held in Iola Nov. 17,
Sen. Jeff King told Iola Rotarians Thursday. He urged
everyone at the meeting to
attend.
“Southeast Kansas communities do a great job of
backing their sports teams
every Friday. But when
Monday morning rolls
around they don’t do so
well working together to
assure the future of the region,” he said.
The goal of the Nov. 17
meeting is to galvanize
regional cooperation and
plan to create more jobs
and grow the economy in
other ways, he said, adding that the summit has the
full support of Gov. Sam
Brownback and legislative
leaders.
Sen. King said he expects
three issues to have high
priority in the 2012 Session
of the Legislature when it
convenes in January.
Revamping the school finance law to see that smaller, poorer school districts
get more support is essential, he said, observing that
the schools of Iola, Independence and Fort Scott have
been hit particularly hard
by the current distribution
formula. He also warned
that the redistricting required by the 2010 Census
will give still more power
to urban school districts
which makes it particularly important for Southeast
Kansas to do what it can
to keep its senate districts
strong and representative
of the region’s schools.
He also sees reform of
KPERS, the public employee pension system in Kansas, essential. Currently,
KPERS has unfunded liabilities in the billions. The
pension promises made
to current employees and
retirees must be kept, in
his opinion, but the system should be reformed so
that new employees are not
promised benefits that the
state cannot afford.
Sen. King, who was appointed to fill the unexpired
term of Sen. Derek Schmidt
last year when Schmidt was
elected attorney general,
was introduced by Rotarian Sandy Zornes, program
chairman.

USD 257 Superintendent
of Schools Brian Pekarek
said King will discuss the
ongoing KPERS controversy and educational concerns such as state funding and the forecast for the
2012 legislative session.
“Senator King is on the
Senate Education Committee and this would be
a wonderful chance to ask
questions and have a good
dialogue on school-related
issues and KPERS. ... We

Air conditioners Public notices
and hairstyles
Dear Tom and Ray: My
wife and I live in the northwest corner of Georgia,
and she insists on running
her car’s air conditioner
at all times — winter, summer, spring, fall, day, night,
doesn’t matter. While I don’t
mind using it when it’s hot,
I think using it in winter
does nothing but waste gas
(as your engine does have
to work harder when the
air is on). But she thinks
that by running it in the
winter, it will keep her hair
nice because, according to
her, it keeps the humidity
low. When we drive somewhere together, sometimes
I can sneak my hand over
and turn it off while she’s
not looking, and, after the
inevitable argument that
results from my surreptitious action, I can’t ever tell
any difference in her hair.
But she insists that she
can. We’ve argued back and
forth about this for 10 years
now, and I think it is finally
time we settled it once and
for all. Should I consult a
hairstylist on this question,
or can you guys help us end
this argument? — Jeff
TOM: Jeff, here’s what
you need to realize: Once
your wife divorces you,
she’ll use the air conditioning whenever she wants,
since she’ll be getting the
car. And you’ll be living in
a refrigerator box.
RAY: My brother knows
whereof he speaks, Jeff.
When he got divorced the
second time, he had to
downsize to a studio refrigerator box.
TOM: You need to give it
a rest, man. You’ve been on
her case for 10 years over
this? Who cares? If she says
it makes her hair look better, then it looks better.
Car
Talk
Tom
and Ray
Magliozzi
RAY:
She’s
probably
right. Using the air conditioner decreases the humidity in the air. And everybody knows that humid
days are bad-hair days. Of
course, humid days for me
are “no hair days.” Just like
every other day.
TOM: On many cars,
the air conditioner automatically goes on when you
turn on the defroster. Why?
For the same reason your
wife uses it: To remove
moisture from the air and
clear water vapor off the
inside of the windshield
faster. If you’ve got one of
those cars, you’re using the
AC in the winter whether
you know it or not.
RAY: So, consider the
facts, Jeff: (A) She’s right.
(B) You’re being a pest. And
(C) a divorce is much more
expensive than the small
amount of gas she’s using
to run the air conditioner. So you decide the best
course of action here.
TOM: And let me know
if you need a refrigerator
box. I may have to downsize
again soon.
Changing your oil regularly is the cheapest insurance you can buy for your
car, but how often should
you change it? Find out by

GREG BIFFLE VS. TONY STEWART
Biffle and Stewart bumped, and Biffle’s car
bounced off the wall and clipped Stewart’s
lightly. “I didn’t try to put him in a bad
spot,” said Stewart, “so I don’t know if I did
something wrong or not.” Biffle had no such
doubt. “It sure seemed to me that he ran me
into the fence,” he said. “He (Stewart) just
didn’t leave me enough room.”
NASCAR This Week’s Monte Dutton
gives his take: “It’s hard to say whether or
not Biffle drove into Stewart in a retaliatory
move (after bumping the wall), but if so, the
act was self-defeating. The second impact
apparently blew out Biffle’s left-front tire.”
A Petty Mystery?
John Clark/NASCAR This Week
A wreck at Charlotte Motor Speedway may have put a major roadblock in Jimmie Johnson’s quest for a sixth straight Cup title. The Hendrick driver
dropped to eighth in the standings with five races left in the championship. Johnson trails points leader Carl Edwards by 35 points.
The Ebb And Flow
Of Jimmie Johnson
It’s been a wild ride for the five-time Cup champion, who has dropped to 8th
By Monte Dutton
NASCAR This Week
CONCORD, N.C. — Think the Chase for the Sprint
Cup varies week to week? Consider the extreme example
of the driver who has won the past five championships.
Jimmie Johnson offers evidence of how the NASCAR
title format punishes mistakes more than it rewards
successes.
Finishes of 10th and 18th in the Chase’s first two races
left Johnson 29 points behind Tony Stewart, who won
them both. Then Johnson finished second at Dover and
first at Kansas, pulling to within four points of the lead,
now occupied by Carl Edwards.
Johnson crashed at Charlotte in the Bank of America
500, resulting in a 34th-place finish. As a result, he is now
eighth, 35 points behind Edwards. The points system
changed this year, and each point has a greater value.
Comparing point totals of 2010 with those of the current
year, the gap between Edwards and Johnson, 35 points,
is the equivalent of about 90 under the previous format.
Five races remain. Johnson’s bid for a sixth straight title
is in jeopardy, but he is far from conceding.
“We just have to go racing,” he said. “That’s all there is
to it. There are five races left, and right now all we have are
those five races.
“Definitely not the night we wanted. This is not going to help us win a sixth championship. I promise you,
this team and myself, we won’t quit. We will go for every
point we can from here on out, and hopefully we are still
champions at the end of the year.”
The volatility is obvious in everyone’s results except Edwards, who has finished eighth or better in each Chase race
(ninth or better in his last eight, dating back to the regular
season), and Kevin Harvick, who has finished 12th or better
in the Chase events. At the top, they are five points apart.
The last four positions in the Chase standings are occupied by drivers in considerably worse situations than
Johnson. Dale Earnhardt Jr. is 60 points out of the lead,
followed by Ryan Newman (-61), Jeff Gordon (-66) and
Denny Hamlin (-86).

Dear NASCAR This Week,
My friend told me that
Richard Petty was (once)
down seven laps … came
back and won the race.
How did he do it? I mean,
he would have to pass the
leader seven times. Did
they give him a lap every
time there was a caution?
What is the record for
being behind in laps and Petty
then winning the race?
William Sprit
London, Ohio
There is no established record, and it’s difficult
to determine if Petty ever won after being
seven laps down. We’ve tried to find a mention,
without success. For it to happen, it probably
had to have been a race on a very small track, a
quarter-mile, for instance. Petty won 200 races
in what is now known as the Sprint Cup series.
It’s a hard claim to track down.
