With Earth Day coming up April 22, Nancy Cokely, Jeffer-son Elementary art teacher, is creating a clever way for her students to recycle. Cokely and her students are creating a mural of hot air balloons out of plastic lids.

The mural will be the length of the main Jefferson hallway and will go above the second set of doors and into the main entrance of the school.

Cokely has been collecting plastic lids all year and has had students organize the lids by color.

“Plastic lids aren’t recycled at the recycling center,” Coke-ly said.

Every day from 2:45 to 3:15 p.m. for the past week, dur-ing Jefferson’s annual assess-ments, if students got their work finished early they could chose to go to Cokely’s class and work on the mural. One student, Gabby Richards, has

been getting her social studies work done early every day so she could work on the mural.

Cokely said Richards has a system that makes gluing the lids to the wooden board much

easier.“She flips them and goes,”

Cokely said. Though Richards’ favorite

class is physical education, she enjoys art as well.

Cokely drew the mural on the board and Richards and her fellow students fill in with different color lids with craft glue.

Richards enjoys the proj-ect not only for its hands-on element but also for what it stands for.

She said it is important to recycle and pick up trash.

“Me and my parents go on bike rides on the trail and we will see trash,” Richards said. “We pick it up if we are walk-ing the trail.”

The mural will be used as part of a grant application, which needed to have an im-age of a hot air balloon.

Cokely hopes to have the mural up by Friday in time for Earth Day the following Mon-day.

TOKYO — Secretary of State John Kerry said Sunday that he was “not going to close the door” on the possibility of direct talks with North Korea, which would fit into his mis-sion to find new approaches to long-festering foreign policy problems.

Kerry of-fered his vi-sion of those issues in a 40-minute in-terview with a small group of journal-ists in Tokyo at the end of a tour that took him virtually around the world to address some of the most pressing matters of the day.

On the nine-day journey, Kerry pledged support to Syrian opposition leaders, announced a path toward re-starting Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, issued a joint U.S.-China statement on climate change and consulted with partners in the talks on Iran’s nuclear program. The trip highlighted both Kerry’s am-bitions and the obstacles he faces in tackling new and old foreign policy conundrums.

“If we’re going to start deal-ing effectively with rising lev-els of extremism in various parts of the world, we have to start showing some successes, and changing things for the better in some of these places where there are these kinds of tensions and conflicts,” Kerry said.

At every stop, however, the threat of an imminent North Korean missile launch over-shadowed other topics. A trip that began with tough talk

HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) — The number of beef cat-tle on Kansas feedlots is at its lowest point in 14 years, thanks to an ongoing drought, and industry officials said some producers could find themselves out of business if this year continues the dry pattern.

On March 1, there were 2.05 million cattle on Kansas feed-lots, which is about 7 percent fewer than at the same time a year ago, according to the U.S. Department of Agricul-ture. Dried-up pastures and shrinking corn and soybean crops, the product of years of drought, have made it cost-lier to keep the cattle fed, the Hutchinson News reported.

Conversely, the state’s dairy cattle count is up slightly from last year, but milk production is down about 45 pounds per

cow, the USDA said.Scarlett Hagins, a spokes-

woman for the Kansas Live-stock Association, said the high cost of feeding cattle has led some producers to sell their

cattle younger and to hold onto fewer heifers as breeders.

“Because of the drought they haven’t been able to re-build their herds,” she said. “They’re still trying to main-tain the core of their herd.”

Even if weather conditions improve and there was ad-equate moisture this year, rebuilding herds is not going

to happen overnight, Hagins said.

Milk production in Kansas was up 3.7 percent in Feb-ruary to about 222 million pounds, the USDA reported.

A few dairy farms that had closed in prior years reopened recently, said Mike Boden-hausen, executive director of the Kansas Dairy Associa-tion. Most states are seeing their dairy industries shrink, he said, but Kansas is one of only a handful that are mak-ing up for lost production.

Still, times are tight for

Kansas dairy farmers be-cause feeding the cattle has become more expensive. Dairy cows typically eat a “ra-tion” of hay, alfalfa and other ingredients that have become more scarce because of the drought, Bodenhausen said.

Beef producers can eas-ily sell off their cows during lean times, then buy new ones or hold back more cows as breeders when conditions are right for expansion, he said, because they generally have little infrastructure.

But dairy cows are more likely to live in barns with systems to deliver water and keep the animals cool, he said. That means owners try to keep their cows producing as long as possible because even without them, it still costs money to maintain the equipment.

“You can’t turn the spigot on and off real easy on a dairy cow,” he said.

Kansas beef cattle numbers lowest since 1999

Because of the drought they haven’t been able to rebuild their herds. They’re still trying to maintain the core of their herd.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Wichita officials are asking for the public’s help in working with the city this summer to curtail high ozone levels, which can cause health risks and bring costly federal regula-tion.

The city plans to ask residents to reduce travel and other emis-sions if ozone levels exceed Environmen-tal Protection Agency standards this summer, said Tonya Bronleewe, an air quality specialist with the city.

The Wichita Eagle re-ported that the city also has a plan to change its operations daily if ozone levels spike.

High ozone levels are created when heat and sunlight bake the emis-sions from vehicles, mowers and commer-cial producers. That can cause breathing prob-lems for children and elderly people with any kind of lung problems.

“If we’re over the ozone limits, we run the risk of more regulation from the federal govern-ment,” she said. “Gas prices could go up, busi-nesses and their regula-

tions could be affected, and highway and road funding could be jeopar-dized.”

Citizens will be asked to consider carpooling,

working from home and postponing errands. It would also help if they could mow later in the evening and fuel vehicles in the early morning or late evening hours, she said.

“Do anything you can do to save electric-ity,” she said. “Turning up your thermostat to 78, unplugging any ap-pliances you don’t use, things like that.”

At the same time, city officials plan to re-work their operations

in the event of a daily ozone alert. That would include things such as delaying fueling, tele-conferencing meetings, delaying mowing and using alternative work schedules.

The city’s plan comes in the wake of a rough summer last year dur-ing which the city ex-ceeded EPA ozone level standard on several days.

EPA regulations al-low up to 75 parts of ozone per billion parts of air on average over eight hours.

The EPA could im-pose more stringent localized regulations for non-compliance, es-pecially in places like Wichita that are already nearing maximum pol-lution levels. Such regu-lations affect the type of gasoline that can be sold and the kind of pollution-control equip-ment local industries would have to install, among other things.

Those additional environmental regu-lations don’t go away even when an area later meets the EPA stan-dards, because those regulations contributed

to getting the area into compliance.

The Kansas City met-ropolitan area violated the federal ozone stan-dard several years ago, resulting in a unique set of federal air quality regulations that are still in place. For example, the gas that drivers buy in Kansas City in the summer is formulated to evaporate at a lower rate than, say, gas sold in Wichita to reduce volatile emissions. The power plant in Kansas City also has to install additional pollution controls in order to re-duce ozone.

Earlier this year, federal environmental regulators gave Kansas a little more breath-ing room to comply with air quality regu-lations, agreeing that prescribed burns and drifting smoke from wildfires outside the state skewed the data. The EPA granted the state’s request to ex-clude four days from April 2011 when calcu-lating air quality data for parts of central and eastern Kansas that is averaged over three years.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Kansas man accused of bilking in-vestors — many of them poor and elderly church members — with prom-ises that his Missouri-based oil and mining company would make them rich beyond their dreams is scheduled for trial this week after a federal judge denied his requests for a new attor-ney.

Isreal Owen Hawkins, 57, of Kansas City, Kan., founded Petro America Corp. in 2007 in Kansas and a year later began selling stock that pros-ecutors allege was not worth the paper it was printed on. By the time he was indicted by a grand jury in October 2010, the company had sold $7.2 million in un-registered Petro Ameri-ca stock.

According to court documents, more than 9,000 victims invested in the company, but instead of using the money for business pur-poses, Hawkins and co-conspirators withdrew the money and bought a house, luxury cars, a $5,700 fur coat, a $37,000 boat and $5,200 worth of Louis Vuitton luggage among other things.

The trial for Hawkins and four others in-volved in the company

— Teresa Brown, John-ny Heurung, William Miller and Martin Rop-er — begins Wednes-day and is expected to last two to three weeks. The government claims Hawkins and oth-ers sold unregistered shares of Petro stock, were not licensed to sell stock, and ignored cease and desist orders issued in Missouri and Kan-sas. Most of those who invested in Petro stock were not qualified to do so, prosecutors said.

Nine other defen-dants already have pleaded guilty to con-spiracy and are await-ing sentencing.

On Tuesday, a federal judge denied a motion by Hawkins to delay the trial until he could get a new attorney. Hawkins claimed his public de-fender, Stephen Moss, has “repeatedly refused to hire consultants with experience or expertise in civil or criminal se-curities fraud laws, nor has Mr. Moss developed a legal team that spe-cialize in the area of se-curities fraud or white collar crime.”

In 2010, Hawkins touted Petro America to have $284 billion in as-sets, which would have made the company the second-largest in the U.S., ahead of Wal-Mart, Microsoft and Apple de-spite existing only three

years, prosecutors said.Investors, many of

whom were recruited by ministers of their churches who belonged to a group called the Minister’s Alliance, were told that for a small amount they could all be millionaires once the company went public.

But instead, investi-gators said the compa-ny had no assets and its interests in gold mines and oil trading opera-tions were worthless.

On top of that, Hawkins “gifted” so many shares of Petro stock that he couldn’t tell a Louisiana attor-ney who was represent-ing an investor how many — within 2 bil-lion shares — had been given away, prosecutors said.

Hawkins, who called Petro America “The People’s Company,” told investors his goal was to win a Nobel Prize for creating such massive wealth. Though Petro stock was sold at the rate of 100,000 shares per $100 invested, or one-tenth of a cent each, Hawkins told them it would open at $24 per share, once it went pub-lic.

That day never came, despite promises every week — for more than two years — that a pub-lic offering was immi-nent.

The plea agreements of several defendants describe a scheme in which Hawkins and his top agents literally printed money by “gift-ing” shares to partici-pants who sold them to others and gave Hawkins a cut.

In one case, prosecu-tors said Hawkins took investors to a printing company where back-dated certificates for millions of shares were printed up, signed by Hawkins and sold on the spot.

Many of the inves-tors were recruited through their churches using religious lan-guage claiming the company wanted to offer congregation members a “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunity to “share the bless-ing,” prosecutors said. The indictment says church leaders were given money to encour-age members to invest in the company.

Investors, many of whom were becoming disillusioned as prom-ises went unfulfilled, were repeatedly reas-sured during high-en-ergy weekly meetings run by Hawkins and his co-defendants that Petro America was for real and it was on the verge of making them big money.

Dear editor,Liz Cox is Iola’s bicycle

ambassador. Liz is a one-person bicycle touring mis-sionary.

Last year a man from Ger-many was having bike trou-ble. Liz asked is she could help and he said some part was broken and couldn’t be fixed. He needed a new part. Liz asked which way he was going, finding that Wichita was on his way. She called a bike shop and asked if they could stay late so he could get the part and be on his way the next morning.

She took him and his bike to Wichita, got the part and took him to dinner.

Last week she helped a couple heading west. They were in Fort Scott and couldn’t find a bike part, so she took them to Pitts-burg, then back to Fort Scott where they checked into a motel.

If anyone can offer any kind of help to cross coun-try hikers or bicyclers, please let me know so we can start a registry offering assistance to these modern day pioneers.

Dear editor,A wise old lady once told

me you can learn at least one good thing from every person you meet, which goes along with Will Rogers’ “never met a person I didn’t like.”

This can be true of na-tions and cultures, both past and present.

The idea for democra-cy came from the ancient Greeks, intellectuals of Athens. While Spartans, of ancient Greece, were a war-like community, which by force killed democracy, then and there.

We saw this repeated in Germany when Hitler took over. He was one man of whom it was hard to find anything good about. He was a bully on a national scale.

We see this on a smaller scale in schools and politics. It’s easier to get people to hate them than to love them, which is considered “sissy” by some. Though some take love to mean all sorts of off-color activity, which is wrong, too. It also has a bad kickback.

Fortunately, we can learn many good things to live by, from people we meet, both past and present.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kan-sas officials will receive an overview this week of the lat-est draft of new science stan-dards for public schools being developed by a national con-sortium.

The 10-member State Board of Education will receive cop-ies of the standards on Tues-day from Matt Krehbiel, the Kansas Department of Edu-cation official overseeing the state’s work on the Next Gen-eration Science Standards. A final draft of the standards was released April 9.

Kansas and 25 other states are working with the National Research Council on common standards for possible adop-tion in their public schools, and Kansas officials involved in writing the guidelines con-tend the goal is to concentrate on core scientific concepts. With a seat at the table, Kan-sas agreed to give the stan-dards serious consideration for adoption, a decision that could come later in 2013.

“We’ve been really excited about the process. The writers have been very responsive to the feedback from the Kansas team,” Krehbiel said.

He said the new standards

blended core science knowl-edge with scientific practices to get students engaged as they progress through the grades.

Past work on science stan-dards in Kansas has been overshadowed by debates about how evolution should be taught. The state had five sets of standards in eight years starting in 1999, as evolution skeptics gained and lost state board majorities in elections. The current, evolution-friend-ly standards were adopted by the board in 2007, but state law requires them to be updated.

The public had the chance to comment on two drafts, of-fering suggestions for chang-es. Kansas board members raised concerns early on that topics like evolution be given proper treatment and allow for opposing viewpoints. Kre-hbiel said developers listened and discussed all suggestions.

“That’s not to say that you get everyone in a room and agree on every detail, but you couldn’t have had a process that was more responsive,” he said.

Legislators have raised con-cerns about recent changes to Kansas standards. A bill was

introduced to require the state board to develop standards that address all points of view on scientific controversies, specifically mentioning cli-mate change. The bill didn’t get a hearing and is likely dead for the year.

The House Education Com-mittee held several days of hearings on the state board’s adoption of Common Core standards for math and read-ing. Critics argue the stan-dards were being forced on states by the federal govern-ment and took control over education from states and lo-cal boards. A bill to prohibit any funds to be spent to imple-ment the standards failed to get out of committee.

Krehbiel said no federal money is involved in setting the standards.

“It’s very much about states coming together to do what’s right for kids in science edu-cation,” he said.

State education department spokeswoman Kathy Toel-kes said the schedule is for the board to adopt the stan-dards by 2014. Assessments to test student knowledge of the standards will be given in coming years.

Letters to the editor

How precious is a child’s life? Or anyone’s, for that matter?

Those questions should be front and center when Congress debates gun-con-trol legislation, now that 68 senators have agreed to pursue the issue. Thirty-one, including Kansans Pat Roberts and Jerry Moran, would have preferred to fili-buster and leave legislation at the wayside.

Consideration of legisla-ture shouldn’t be derailed by such tactics.

Many polls indicate strong public support for legislative action to stem gun violence in the wake of the distressing tragedies at the Newton, Conn., Aurora, Colo., and elsewhere.

However, it seems cer-tain that outlawing assault weapons — those designed to provide overwhelming firepower in military appli-cations — won’t be a part of any legislation that comes from Congress this session, nor is it likely that large-capacity magazines will be a part.

The best hope for pro-ponents of gun control is some form of stricter back-ground checks, a portion of which may mesh with the National Rifle Associa-tion’s position that mental health assessments should come into play.

Foes of background checks maintain they would lead to the federal govern-ment developing a catalog

of gun ownership, which they argue could prompt all sorts of infringements, including confiscation of weapons.

Those concerns are pe-destrian.

Also, the temptation of gun-control opponents is to compare gun ownership to that of an automobile, from the perspective that cars, like guns, can kill people.

Taking a logical step fur-ther, it should be noted that cars are registered and that drivers must not only be li-censed but also are legally bound to purchase insur-ance to protect themselves and others on the road.

IT IS HYPERBOLE to think that requiring back-ground checks in gun pur-chases is the devil’s handi-work and meant to give Big Brother a nefarious means of intruding on the lives of citizens.

But, hyperbole isn’t in short supply when a topic is as polarizing as gun con-trol.

The consideration should be what is best to curb gun violence and re-duce the number of lives that are ended prematurely. If that means a little incon-venience associated with assuring, as well as possi-ble, that gun purchases are made by people with good intentions, that’s small price to pay.

Today’s Highlight in History:On April 15, 1912, the British

luxury liner RMS Titanic sank in the North Atlantic off New-foundland at 2:20 a.m. ship’s time, more than two hours af-ter striking an iceberg; 1,514 people died, while less than half as many survived.On this date:

In 1850, San Francisco was incorporated.

In 1865, President Abraham Lincoln died, nine hours after being shot the night before by John Wilkes Booth at Ford’s Theater in Washington. An-drew Johnson became the na-tion’s 17th president.

In 1874, an exhibition of paintings by 30 artists, includ-ing Claude Monet, Edgar De-gas, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Paul Cezanne, opened in Paris. (A critic derisively referred to the painters as “Impression-ists,” a name which stuck.)

In 1942, Britain’s King George VI awarded the George Cross to Malta for its heroism in the early days of World War II.

In 1943, the Ayn Rand novel “The Fountainhead” was first published by Bobbs-Merrill Co.

In 1945, during World War II, British and Canadian troops liberated the Nazi concentra-tion camp Bergen-Belsen.

In 1947, Jackie Robinson, baseball’s first black major league player, made his offi-cial debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers on opening day. (The

Dodgers defeated the Boston Braves, 5-3.)

In 1959, Cuban leader Fidel Castro arrived in Washington to begin a goodwill tour of the United States. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles re-signed for health reasons (he was succeeded by Christian A. Herter).

In 1960, a three-day confer-ence to form the Student Non-violent Coordinating Com-mittee (SNCC) began at Shaw University in Raleigh, N.C. (The group’s first chairman was Marion Barry.)

In 1986, the United States launched an air raid against Libya in response to the bomb-ing of a discotheque in Ber-lin on April 5; Libya said 37 people, mostly civilians, were killed.

In 1989, 96 people died in a crush of soccer fans at Hills-borough Stadium in Shef-field, England. Students in Beijing launched a series of pro-democracy protests; the demonstrations culminated in a government crackdown at Tiananmen Square.

In 1998, Pol Pot, the noto-rious leader of the Khmer Rouge, died at age 73, evading prosecution for the deaths of two million Cambodians.

Ten years ago: Looters and arsonists ransacked Iraq’s Na-tional Library, as well as Iraq’s principal Islamic library. In the Netherlands, Volkert van der Graaf, the killer of politi-

cian Pim Fortuyn, was sen-tenced to 18 years in prison. Umpire Laz Diaz was attacked by a fan during a game be-tween the Kansas City Roy-als and Chicago White Sox; the fan, Eric Dybas, was later sentenced to six months in jail and 30 months’ probation.

Five years ago: Pope Bene-dict XVI stepped onto U.S. soil for the first time as pontiff as he was greeted at Andrews Air Force Base outside Wash-ington by President George W. Bush, first lady Laura Bush and their daughter Jenna. Bombings blamed on al-Qaida in Iraq tore through market areas in Baghdad and outside the capital, killing nearly 60 people. Actress Hazel Court, who’d costarred with Boris Karloff and Vincent Price in horror movies of the 1950s and ’60s, died near Lake Tahoe, Ca-lif., at age 82.

One year ago: Five people were killed by a tornado in Woodward, Okla. Taliban in-surgents struck the heart of the Afghan capital and three eastern cities. North Korea’s new leader, Kim Jong Un, gave his first public speech since taking power, portraying himself as a strong military chief unafraid of foreign pow-ers. Passengers and crew of the cruise ship MS Balmoral said prayers at the spot in the North Atlantic where the Ti-tanic had sunk 100 years ear-lier.

Thank You The family of Floyd E. Hangen says “Thank You” to all of the people who shared our mother and grandmother’s life, especially - Dr. Stone and his office and the Allen County Hospital for their care and caring; the ladies at Unique Salon of Beauty, past and present, for a weekly dose of fun and companionship; and the people of Iola, who treated her with kindness when her path crossed yours.

from Washington in response to the shrill threats from Pyong-yang ended with Kerry and other senior U.S. officials softening their rhetoric and pushing diplomacy over escala-tion even as they braced for news of a launch.

“We are prepared to reach out but we need an appropriate moment, appropriate circumstance,” Kerry said.

One of Kerry’s pri-mary goals was to en-list Beijing as a tougher interlocutor with the North Koreans. While he didn’t get as enthu-siastic a response as he wanted from the Chinese, the main sup-plier of food and fuel to Kim Jong Un’s regime, he said it was never-theless significant that Chinese leaders, who typically steer clear of joint appearances with Western officials, stood side-by-side with him to

emphasize their desire for a nuclear-free Kore-an peninsula.

Kerry was more cir-cumspect on the Mid-dle East, where some welcomed his plans to try to restart long-dead peace talks and others mocked his attempt as a fool’s errand, given the hard-line stances of Israeli officials and the deep internecine divi-sions on the Palestinian

side.Only days after vis-

iting Ramallah and announcing plans for greater economic de-velopment in the West Bank, Kerry already was faced with a set-back with the resig-nation of Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad, a trusted friend who had been expect-ed to help execute the plans.

Crock-Pot Strawberry JamI was at Walmart over the weekend and saw stacks of

strawberry cartons for less than $2 each. I was thinking about what I could possibly make with those. Many ideas came to me, but I remembered that a couple of days ago I saw a recipe for Crock-Pot strawberry jam on Pinterest. This is incredibly easy to make.

Ingredients:3 quarts hulled strawberries4 cups sugar

Directions:Put strawberries and sugar in a Crock-Pot, and stir thoroughly. The sugar will bring

out the natural juices in the strawberries. Turn Crock-Pot on high, and bring to a boil. Remove lid, and mash strawberries with a potato masher. Allow to boil and reduce to the desired consistency, mashing intermittently. Allow to cool, and store in jars in the fridge or freezer.

GARDEN CITY, Kan. (AP) — While Kansas lawmakers debate hold-ing back young elemen-tary school students who lack proficiency in reading, one district is doing that even before those children start first grade.

A panel of Garden City educators is rec-ommending the district experiment with having children repeat kinder-garten if they fall short of fundamental skills in reading, writing and recognizing numbers, The Garden City Tele-

gram reported.The goal, according

to the special committee panel that was charged with looking into kin-dergarten retention, is to improve children’s chances of doing well in later years.

“I think it will set a solid foundation of those beginning skills that they are going to have to build on,” said committee member Lisa Cady, a kindergar-ten teacher at Gertrude Walker Elementary School. “It’s just a build-ing process and if you

don’t have that founda-tion, then it’s going to be a constant struggle.”

Some of those skills include reading, writ-ing a sentence, orally counting, and recogniz-ing numbers and writ-ing numbers up to 100.

The USD 457 Board of Education may act on the issue today. The first step would be cre-ation of a district-wide pilot program to test the effects of kindergarten retention. Garden City officials said they knew of no other Kansas dis-trict with such a policy.

RAISING A RACKET

Register/Richard LukenIola High’s Stephen Mc-Donald, left, and Colby Works were among the Mustang tennis players who traveled to Chanute Friday. Works picked up the only two match victories for Iola, going 2-1 in No. 2 singles play. McDonald and Mason Key went 0-3 in No. 1 doubles action, as did Tyler Heinrich in No. 1 singles play. Iola did not take a second doubles team to Chanute.

INDEPENDENCE — Abi-gail Taylor is making the re-markable seem routine.

The Iola High freshman al-ready has earned several top awards on the track for her distance running.

She outdid herself Friday, earning two gold medals and narrowly missing a third.

It was how she won her sec-ond gold in the 3200 meters that deserves special mention.

Head coach Marv Smith ex-plained:

“Abigail was scheduled to run on the 4x400-meter relay team,” Smith said, but Iola had to drop the event because of personnel shortages (more on that later).

“So, when we dropped it, she asked if she could run the

INDEPENDENCE — Sched-ule conflicts and nagging in-juries held down the numbers Friday for Iola High’s boys.

But even with smaller numbers, coupled with cool, and occasionally windy, con-ditions Iola still had several standouts.

The Mustangs were buoyed by Tyler Powelson’s distance runs and Eli Grover’s prowess with the discus.

Powelson was a two-time gold medalist, winning the 800- and 1600-meter runs, while Grover took first place in the discus.

Iola had other top finishers.

Short-handed IHSsquad still fares well

HIGHLAND — While Allen Community College’s Nate Arnold has been one of the Red Devils’ most consistent hitters, his pitching prowess took center stage Sunday.

The Pittsburg sophomore pitched a complete game three-hitter while scoring the tie-breaking run in the top of

the sixth inning of Allen’s 2-1 win over Highland.

The win was Allen’s only triumph over Highland in the four-game series. The Scotties won 7-1 and 10-2 in a double-header Saturday and 14-4 in the first game Sunday.

Allen (6-29) heads to Salina Tuesday to take on Brown

Mackie for a doubleheader Tuesday before hosting Neo-sho County in four games Sat-urday and Sunday.

The weekend series will in-clude festivities surrounding the Red Devil Diamond Clubs 2013 Hall of Fame Banquet.

There, induction ceremo-nies are planned for long-time

ACC head coach Val McLean, the school’s first-ever coach Joe Haynes, Duane Wales and Rod Rush — stars of Allen’s 1983 World Series team — 1990 All-American Richard Thom-as, and the late Rich Weisens-ee, a star on ACC’s 1977 and 1978 squads.

Arnold struck out seven

and walked two in his victory, shutting down the Scotties after they utilized a walk and error to take a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first.

HUMBOLDT — Humboldt High’s baseball squad was strong early, late and every-where in between Friday.

The Cubs, playing their first games in 10 days due to weather, thumped visiting Neodesha High, 13-3 and 11-1.

“It was nice to get back on the field,” Humboldt coach Mike Miller said. “We were a

little rusty at times and have some things we need to work on but overall I was pleased with our play. Four pitchers threw on the night and they all threw well. I was really happy with the way our hit-ters jumped on them offen-sively in the first inning of both games but I would like to see us stay more aggres-

sive. We kind of let up at times and didn’t have quality at bats.

Nathan Whitcomb got the start in the opener, strik-ing out 10 in four innings of work. He allowed two hits and walked three.

HUMBOLDT — A 10-day layoff did little to slow the Humboldt High softball ma-chine Friday.

The Lady Cubs made quick work of visiting Neodesha High in a doubleheader romp, winning 17-1 and 14-0.

The victories, in Hum-boldt’s home opener, evened the Lady Cubs’ record at 2-2.

Humboldt scored two runs in the first, three in the sec-

ond and four in the third against Neodesha in the opener before blowing things wide open with an eight-run fourth.

Brook Turner pitched a complete game, giving up three hits and a run with four strikeouts.

Several offensive stars led the way. Breanna Kline had two singles, a double, three stolen bases and an RBI. Kay-

le Riebel also had two singles and a double and three stolen bases while driving in four. Courtney Richey had five RBIs on a single and home run. Kasey Beeman had a single, double and stolen base. Jaci Ross had a single, triple and RBI. Megan Herd-er had a single and RBI. Del-aney Umholtz drove in three

Fountain Villa 2620 N. Kentucky • Iola

NEW YORK (AP) — Dish Network is offer-ing to buy Sprint Nextel Corp. in a cash-and-stock deal it values at $25.5 bil-lion, saying its bid is superior to that of Jap-anese phone company SoftBank.

Sprint’s stock jumped almost 15 percent in pre-market trading today.

SoftBank Corp. is seeking approval from U.S. authorities for its $20 billion purchase of

a 70 percent stake in Sprint Nextel Corp. that would be Japan’s biggest foreign acquisition ever. Sprint previously said that it expected the deal with SoftBank to close during the summer.

The transaction, which was announced in October, was looked at as a way to position Sprint as a stronger competitor against rivals AT&T and Verizon.

Dish, an Englewood,

Colo., satellite television company, said Monday that its proposed trans-action includes $17.3 bil-lion in cash and $8.2 bil-lion in stock.

Sprint stockhold-ers would receive $7 per share, which is a 13 percent premium to its Friday closing price of $6.22.

This includes $4.76 per share in cash and 0.05953 Dish shares per Sprint share.

Dish offers to buy up Sprint

Adam Kauth and Mi-chael Wilson earned silver medals in the 300-meter hurdles and pole vault, respectively.

Iola’s fifth-place fin-ish with 66 points came despite going without the services of Jacob Harrison, who injured his foot, and Tyler Mc-Intosh, who missed the competition to attend a function with the IHS jazz band in Topeka.

Shortages were the theme of the day, Iola coach Marv Smith noted.

Coffeyville (141 points) finished second behind Arkansas City (146) de-spite competing without standout sprinter James Newton in three events he would have been fa-vored to win.

Labette County (third place-126).

Powelson won the 1600 in 4:42.3, despite con-

tending with a ferocious wind.

“Powelson’s race in the 1600 was excep-tional,” Smith said. “He finished nine seconds in front of a very good miler from Fredonia. He ran in front from start to finish with no one chal-lenging him.

“That’s not a bad way to have a race, since you can remain somewhat relaxed.”

Powelson doubled up on his gold haul with a winning mark of 2:05.3 in the 800.

Meanwhile, Grover’s personal best throw of 117 feet, 6 inches was good for his winning mark in the discus.

He also took fourth in the shot put with a throw of 39’8”.

Kauth earned silver by running the 300-me-ter hurdles in 42.8 sec-onds. Wilson took sec-

ond in the pole vault, clearing the bar at 10’6”.

Smith said the Mus-tang throwers have had to contend with bad weather, which has lim-ited their practice time outdoors.

“Throwers can only do so much indoors,” he said. “We need a couple of weeks of nice weath-er.”

Iola’s full results:Tyler Powelson, first,

1600-meter run, 4:42.3; first, 800-meter run, 2:05.3.

Lewis had Allen’s only extra-base hit. Sigg, Arnold, Tanner Lee and Trey Francis had sin-gles.

Seth Jones took the loss, giving up nine hits and five walks. Gage Dickerson, Conor Burns and Logan Bausch pitched in relief, giving up a combined three hits and two walks with three strikeouts.

Slusser and Troy Willoughby singled to start Allen’s third-inning rally. Sigg reached on an error be-

fore Arnold’s sacrifice fly drove in Slusser. Trey Francis singled to drive in Sigg. Lewis scored the third run when Highland unsuc-cessfully attempted to throw out Montana Samuels at second.

Cody Amerine’s RBI single in the fifth drove in Samuels for Allen’s fourth run of the game.

Willoughby, Samuels and Slusser each had two hits. Lewis, Francis and Amerine added one single each.

SATURDAYHighland 7, Allen 1Highland struck ear-

ly and late against Red Devil starter Tanner Lee. The Scotties scored three in the first and four in the sixth after Al-len took a 1-0 lead.

Lewis singled to drive in Willoughby, who opened the game with a single.

Sigg singled twice for Allen’s only other hits against Highland starter Derek Rottinghaus.

Lee gave up three hits and eight walks in five innings of work with four strikeouts. Lucas

Westervelt gave up a hit and a walk in his inning of relief.

Highland 10, Allen 2A four-run second and

three-run third allowed Highland to break a 2-2 tie.

Geoffrey Borque took the loss, giving up eight hits and two walks with three strikeouts. Jake Johnson and Austin Weldy both delivered solid relief pitching. Johnson allowed only a single, unearned run in his three innings of work. Weldy pitched a scoreless sixth.

Sigg’s one-out single, followed by a bunt sin-gle by Arnold, paved the way for ACC’s first run. Slusser’s RBI single scored Sigg to give the Red Devils a 1-0 lead.

Highland responded with two in the bottom of the inning before ACC struck back in the sec-ond, without a hit. Am-erine was hit by a pitch, Willoughby walked. An errant throw on a double steal allowed Amerine to score.

Sigg, Arnold, Slusser and Francis had singles for Allen.

Derrek Wilson was the man to beat in Pure Stock. The evening in-cluded a detailed post-race tech inspection that included an engine tear down — an inspection Wilson passed with fly-ing colors. Levi Phillips took second, while Ben

Haddox came from dead last to score third. Mike Churning took fourth in his first race of the sea-son, while Eldon McIn-tosh laid claim to fifth.

So far this season, B-Mod has been the most competitive divi-sion. This week, Jeremy Chambers bested the

field, despite a spirited effort by runner-up Tim VanGotten. Riley Whit-worth was third, fol-lowed by Blake Kisner and Jimmie Davis.

A special night of rac-ing is in store for race fans this week when the OCRS Sprint cars are added to the program.

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 five-star puzzle.

By Dr. KEITH ROACHTo your Good HealthDear D. Roach: At

what age does meno-pause occur? I’m 54, and my periods are still the same. I had a blood test and was told I’m not even close to meno-pause. I read in an old medical book that it oc-curs between 45 and 55. Is this still correct? My friend said she knows of someone 68 years old who is still menstruat-ing. I am terrified that I will have to suffer this horrible curse until I die. Please don’t advise me to get a hysterecto-my, because at this point in my life I am no longer having surgeries. I am in good health and take no medicines. Is there any way to tell the exact age that I’ll be when I’m done with it? — C.G.

Answer: The medical

book you had may be old, but human physi-ology usually doesn’t change very quickly. Indeed, the majority of women will go through menopause between the ages of 47 and 53. How-

ever, human physiology is highly variable. Wom-en can be menopausal in their 30s or in their late 60s, so I am afraid it is possible that yours could last a lot longer. There does seem to be

some familial compo-nent, so if your mother had a late menopause, you are more likely to as well.

Otherwise, I don’t know any way to predict time of menopause.

Menopause hard to predict

By RICHARD LUKENrichard@iolaregister.com

A weekend in Arkan-sas City and Indepen-dence didn’t go as well as hoped for Allen Com-munity College’s softball squad.

The Red Devils dropped both games of their doubleheaders Friday and Saturday, losing Friday at seventh-ranked Cowley County 8-0 and 12-1. Allen trav-eled to Independence Saturday, dropping games by scores of 12-3 and 10-4.

Cowley 8, Allen 0Cowley struck for one

in the first, two in the

second and five in the third while the Red Dev-ils were limited to three singles — Kaitlin Rash’s leadoff hit in the second, Annie Gentry’s leadoff single in the fourth and Bailey Burnett’s two-out hit in the fifth.

Audra Nelson took the loss, giving up eight hits and a walk with a strike-out.

“Audra wasn’t get-ting a lot of calls from the umpire, and it flus-tered her a bit,” Allen coach Jamie Amerine said. “She had to put the balls in the strike zone and they started hitting them.”

Cowley 11, Allen 1The trend continued

in the second game. The Tigers scored two in the first, five in the second and four in the third.

The Red Devils’ sole run came when Mary Reilly drove in Kaitlyn Rash with a second-inning single. Rash led off the inning with a single.

Rash gave up 11 hits and three walks in tak-ing the loss.

Independence 12, Allen 3

A six-run second in-ning and five more in the third did the trick for In-dependence.

The Red Devils broke through for two in the third, courtesy of Tyler Easum’s two-run sin-gle, and one in the fifth, when Easum’s single drove in Kaitlin Norris.

Easum and Norris each had two singles. Reilly had a double. Paige Rothwell and Rash also singled.

Nelson got the start and took the loss, giving up seven hits and three walks. Rash came on in relief, giving up four hits and two walks with two strikeouts.

“We hit better, but we just have trouble string-ing together hits for more offense,” Amerine said. “Our defense com-mitted a couple of big errors.”

Independence 10, Allen 4

The Pirates sported ACC an early 1-0 lead be-fore scoring three in the bottom of the first and three more in the second to lead 6-1.

Rothwell’s two-run blast in the top of the third cut the gap to 6-3. She led off the sixth with a double, then scored when Reilly followed with a two-base hit.

But Allen, trailing 7-4, could not score again de-spite loading the bases with one out. Indepen-dence responded with three more runs in the bottom of the sixth to seal the win.

Rash started and gave up seven hits and a walk with one strikeout. Nel-

son relieved and gave up six hits and five walks. She struck out two.

Rothwell went 2-for-3 with a home run and double; Reilly had a dou-ble and single. Norris and Gentry both singled for ACC.

“We seem to have a couple of big errors each game, which hurt us,” Amerine said.

The Red Devils don’t have much time to mope. Allen is scheduled to host Johnson County in a doubleheader to-day and Fort Scott on Tuesday for two more, weather permitting. Al-len then heads to Cottey College in Nevada, Mo., Thursday before hosting St. Louis Community College Saturday.

3200,” Smith said.Doing so was easier

said than done because Taylor also was sched-uled to compete in the 800-meter run.

That meant Taylor had to run the 3200 roughly 15 minutes af-ter completing her 800.

Smith tried to dis-suade Taylor from the attempt.

“She said, ‘Well, if I feel ready, is it OK to run to get us some more points,’” Smith said. “I said, ‘I don’t think you’re going to feel ready!’”

Taylor felt more than ready.

After narrowly missing gold in the 800 — her time of 2 min-utes, 32.9 seconds was three-tenths of a sec-ond out of first place — Taylor came back to win the 3200 with a time of 13:15.

And that was after winning the 1600-meter run in 5:38.3 earlier in the afternoon.

Alas, Iola’s third-place finish at the Inde-pendence Invitational was hardly a one-girl show.

Several other Fillies brought home top fin-ishes as Iola racked up 94 points as a team de-spite losing four mem-

bers due to a jazz band event, one due to IHS play rehearsals, one due to an art festival, two because of jobs and another due to a club volleyball event.

Breanna Stout brought home a silver and bronze medal, tak-ing second in the jav-elin with a throw of 100 feet, 2 inches. She nar-rowly missed out on a 115-foot throw but was called for a foul on the throw.

She also settled for third in the pole vault at 9 feet. An aside is the winner also only cleared 9 feet, but Stout took third in a tie breaker based on the number of misses in the competition. Stout’s high jump mark of 4’6” was good for fifth.

Darci Collins took silver in the shot put with her throw of 34’6”. Her throw of 82’8” was good for fifth in the dis-cus.

Ashley Campbell fin-ished third in the high jump, clearing 4’10” and third in the 400-me-ter dash at 1:04.5. She also took fourth in the 200-meter dash at 27.4 seconds.

Cassie Delich was a two-time bronze medal-ist. She was leading in

the 300-meter hurdles before having trouble with the sixth hurdle and settling for third at 55 seconds. She also finished third in the 100-meter hurdles at 18.4 seconds. She took sixth in the 200 at 27.9 seconds.

The Fillies had to drop both the 4x400 and 4x800-meter relay squads because of lack of personnel.

Iola pieced together a 4x100-meter relay team despite being without Emery Driskel (club volleyball), Olivia Ban-nister (jazz band) and Valaree Burtnett (in-jury).

In their stead, the quartet of Campbell, Stout, Delich and Klair Vogel finished third at 54.8 seconds.

Jessica Oakley threw the discus 80 feet, good for sixth place.

“Coach (Pat) Loner-gan was pleased with his throwers,” Smith said. “Jessica is only a freshman and is im-proving rapidly. Bre-anna is picking up the javelin quickly.

“I am anxious to have a meet with the full squads,” Smith said. “It won’t happen next week because we have kids in the play cast of ‘Grease.’”

Red Devils struggle in road doubleheaders

on two singles and had a stolen base.

Ross pitched the first four innings of the sec-ond game, allowing only one hit while striking out six.

Meanwhile, the Lady Cubs scored three in the first, five in the third and six in the fourth.

“Jaci and Brook pitched great for us,” Humboldt coach Brad Piley said. “Our defense played great, with two double plays.”

Ross also sparkled at the plate, drilling three doubles with three RBIs. Others contributing:

Kline, a double and two stolen bases; Turner, a single, stolen base and two RBIs; Richey, a sin-gle and five stolen bases; Beeman, a single, sto-len base and two RBIs; Herder, a single and two RBIs; Morgan Morris, a double and RBI; Caysa Adams, two stolen bases; and Haley Riebel, single and RBI.

Richey pitched a per-fect inning of relief, striking out two.

Weather permitting, Humboldt will be in Eu-reka Tuesday for a make-up game before traveling to Yates Center Friday for a tournament.

opened with four runs in the bottom of the first. Neodesha scored two in the third to cut Humboldt’s lead in half before the Cubs took full control with three in the third, two in the fourth and four in the fifth.

Every Cub starter reg-istered a hit, run or RBI.

Whitcomb went 2-for-2 at the plate with a double. Jacob Carpen-ter went 2-for-3 with a double. Grayson Pearish had one hit, a home run. Caleb D’Armond stroked a double, as did Caleb Vanatta. Hunter Mur-row and Dustin Prock added singles.

Austin Beeman pitched an inning of re-lief, giving up two hits and a walk with one strikeout.

A similar pattern fol-lowed in the nightcap.

Humboldt led 5-0 af-ter one, 6-0 after two and 8-0 after three. Neodesha scored its only run in the fourth. The Cubs wrapped up their offense with an-other run in the fourth and two more in the sixth.

Alex Murrow pitched 3 2/3 innings, giving up

two hits and three walks. Pearish pitched 2 1/3 hit-less innings of relief, with one walk and one strikeout.

“It was nice to have Grayson back after a lit-tle shoulder soreness,” Miller said.

Carpenter went 3-for-3 with two doubles, three runs and two RBIs. Pear-ish went 3-for-4. Zach

Vanatta came off the bench for a pinch hit double with an RBI.

D’Armond, Whit-comb, Jake Haviland, Alex Murrow and Prock had singles.

Humboldt travels to Eureka Tuesday in a makeup game before hosting Yates Center, Neodesha and Iola Fri-day in a tournament.
