Carl Slaugh’s military history is atypical to many of those in the armed forces. It has tak-en him from the plains of Texas and mountains of Utah to the skies of Ger-many, spanning his 20-year career with the U.S. Air Force. Today, Slaugh is Iola city administrator.

His story begins at the tail end of the Vietnam War, when he was attending Utah State University. The draft still active, when Slaugh received “a fairly low” draft number, he and a friend joined the Air Force ROTC preemptive-ly — enlisting as officers.

“We would have gone straight to Vietnam,” Slaugh said, if they hadn’t joined ROTC.

The war ended before he finished his flight instructor’s training at Webb Air Force base. Although he did receive a medal at the end of the war, what the men called an “Alive in ’75” medal for the conclusion of the conflict in Vietnam. Slaugh trained pilots in a T-37, a small side-by-

side jet at the base.

Then, his officers threw him a curve-ball.

He was se-lected for an involuntary program that would trans-fer “fixed-wing” pilots to the helicop-ter program.

As darkness enveloped the banks of the Mekong River on a humid evening in 1970, a 53-foot gunboat with ma-chines and a grenade launcher settled into a coordinated position.

Stillness engulfed the boat, as sailors took up watch for anyone prowling the river banks or trying to cross the river. The mission of the five-man crew, in-cluding Don Burns, Gas, was to inter-cept and eliminate.

“‘Friendlies’ weren’t supposed to be out at night,” he said, during the height of the Vietnam War.

The first time or two on task was a little unnerving, but the river tours eventually became routine for Burns, who today works in maintenance for USD 257.

If hostile forces were detected, “We had to call in (to headquarters) to get permission to fire,” he said. Response usually came quickly, and led to Burns and his mates to

unleash their firepower.

Other times the sailors’ role was to direct fire at timbered areas thought to contain the enemy, or inter-cept and search boats that might be car-rying contra-band, such as guns, ammuni-tion or satchel charges.

Occasionally, Burns’ boat would take small arms fire.

He did suffer an injury, but it was from friendly that occurred in a quirky manner.

Jean and Lester Wolf are the perfect picture of a devoted couple. As you visit with them, Lester can vividly recount many details about the farm where he grew up near Uniontown. He easily recalls how the school he attended was located on his family’s property, and that he delighted in cheating when he played cards with the school-marm who boarded with them. It’s difficult to tell Lester has suf-fered with Alzheimer’s Disease for more than eight years. Jean cared for Lester at home as long as she could. Last win-

ter, Jean came to realize Lester’s care was more than she could handle by herself so she turned to Windsor Place. Since December, Windsor Place, has been seeing to Lester’s every need 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. He’s safe and well-cared for, and Jean has some time to take care of herself and enjoy her favorite past time of china painting.

Windsor Place…We can make dealing with

Alzheimer’s Disease a little easier.

“We’ve been married for 63 years, so turning over Lester’s care to someone else wasn’t easy. It was just something I knew I had to do. Windsor Place has given us the support we needed to deal with this awful disease. We didn’t have that before. If you need help car-ing for someone with dementia, come to Windsor Place. We’ve had very good luck with it.”

“We had been in a fire-fight and cease fire was sounded,” Burns said. “We were circling the boat and for some reason a grenade was fired just as we closed in on the bank of the river. When it hit, shrapnel flew back toward the boat and a piece hit me in the side.”

The injury was severe enough to require hos-pitalization. “I got to call home (to parents Bob and Maude Burns) on Christmas Day,” he said. “That was a big deal for a 19-year-old” on the oth-er side of the world.

BURNS, 62, GREW up in Parsons and joined the Navy reserve while in high school.

About three months after graduating he and two friends signed up for active duty on the promise they would be stationed together.

After training at Trea-sure Island, near San Francisco, the first of the trio was assigned to a base in Hawaii, the next to a ship that sailed out of Hawaii.

Things were looking good, Burns thought. “Then, I found out I was going to Vietnam.”

Following his time in patrol and ambush duty, Burns completed his time in Vietnam work-ing security at a Naval base.

“Looking back, I never regretted going to Viet-nam,” Burn said. “It was a heck of an adventure and I saw a lot I wouldn’t have otherwise — but don’t ask me to go back.”

AFTER returning home in early 1971, Burns worked a year for Beachner Construc-tion and then held sev-eral jobs before settling in for 27 years at Iola’s

Gates Corporation plant, having moved here after his parents’ took up resi-dence in Iola.

He left Gates for a job with USD 257 in 2007.

He and wife Jane have been married 20 years. They have a daughter, Becky, who is pursuing education at Allen Com-munity College.

In recent years Burns has become involved in community activities as a member of the Thrive Allen County Board of Directors and for the fifth year in a row will portray Charley Melvin in Thrive’s July revival of “The Charley Melvin Mad Bomber Run for Your Life,” and associ-ated activities.

The gunboat Don Burns was on in the Vietnam War.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

After reading numer-ous accounts of the Moore, Okla., tornado in the New York Times and from re-ports on National Public Radio, you can hear the wonder in the reporters’ voices as to why “these peo-ple” continue to live in tor-nado-prone region. “There they go again,” was the tone, as if jobs and family had nothing to do with why people live where they do.

Of course, I feel the same way about those who re-build in the obvious path of a hurricane or along the San Andreas Fault. Though it seems the chances of be-ing blown away by a torna-do are more slim than get-ting walloped by a wall of water or swallowed up by the earth.

When the sirens sounded Sunday night, I was sur-prised at how ill prepared I was. Even with a basement, I had nothing of use stored down there. Yes, there were the keepsakes of photo albums. But in the refrig-erator there was no water or useful food. As I stood among jars of exotic mar-malade and honey, I realized I had no clothing, shoes, or outerwear set aside. We had to scurry around to locate flashlights. I had left my purse with cash and credit cards upstairs. We had no first aid kit within reach. And I married a Boy Scout.

The next day gave me pause as to what I

would do differently and I’m determined to set aside some time this weekend to assemble an emergency kit.

THE BAD thing about emergencies is they don’t happen often enough — at least when it comes to be-ing prepared.

The good weather re-turns and emergency mode is soon replaced by normal-cy.

In truth, it’s counterpro-ductive to always be think-ing a disaster lurks around the corner. That way of thinking can shape our per-sonalities into soothsayers of doom. Such people lose a sense of purposefulness in their lives and their sense of priorities flies out the win-dow, including taking care of one’s health with good diet, sleep and exercise.

It’s also fatiguing to al-ways be on edge.

Sure as rain, another tor-nado is on its way. Being prepared is the best way to cope, and then let it go.

Disasters, close calls, deaths, all are teachers of priorities. Grab onto life, let the other stuff go.

Sunday’s tornado drill found uswoefully inept

We’ve a handful of treasure hunters in this neck of the woods, some quite successful.

Kirby Gregg, for example, has hunted coins with metal detectors from the early days of the devices, back when they weren’t nearly as accurate, didn’t differentiate between good and junk targets and re-quired frequent calibration.

Now, many of the more expensive machines do just about everything but dig whatever causes that strong, vibrant buzz that the operator knows is triggered by “some-thing good.”

I also started metal-detect-ing back in the 1970s, with one of those primitive machines, and continue now and again. But, my success pales in com-parison to what Kirby can do.

He once found a $20 gold

piece near an old strip mine camp and over the years has filled out a set of Barber dimes — 1892 to 1916 with many mint variations — from coins he has unearthed.

More recently he happened upon the site of a former house and between detector and some sifting with a shak-er box, came up with a small hoard of silver and other coins, some dating back to the early 1900s.

Altogether he found 278 coins, which at today’s pric-

es is a pretty good chunk of change. Included in the total are 105 quarters, 123 dimes and 34 half dollars.

Kirby wrote about the find and with supporting photos mailed the account to East-ern and Western Treasures, a magazine for metal detect-ing enthusiasts. The story ap-pears in its annual “Gold and Silver” edition, which just hit newsstands.

METAL detecting is simi-

lar to my other favorite, look-ing along stream bottoms and fields for stone artifacts.

Either includes good ex-ercise — a lot of walking is involved — and both are ex-tremely satisfying hobbies you can do alone, with a friend or family.

Give one a try.

Treasure hunting, local styleAt

Week’s EndBob Johnson

Governor Brownback is probably thinking of the old adage, “Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it” these days. The governor’s putsch against moderates of his own party was supposed to be the removal of one last

barrier to his full agenda be-ing rubber stamped by the Kansas legislature, but in-stead he finds himself in the oddly triangulated position of being on the “tax-and-spend liberal” side of a state budget battle with many of the same folks he helped elect to office over the last two cycles. It now seems the governor is more man in the middle than king of the hill.

What was supposed to be an 81-day legislative session has already gone into over-time. The House and the Sen-ate cannot agree on a resolu-tion to a vexing tax problem that continues to delay the final details of next year’s budget. Spending on higher education, state employee salaries, and revenues from sales versus income taxes are all part of the mix that has prevented compromise between the chambers so far with no sign of resolution in the near future.

The governor’s plan has been to drastically cut state income taxes and replace a portion of that revenue with sales taxes. Had the governor had all the clout expected, the dispute at hand would have easily been resolved:

the scheduled-to-sunset por-tion of the state’s current 6.3 percent sales tax would be extended as part of a larger plan to eventually drive in-come taxes to zero.

Somewhere along the way, things went sideways. The impasse tells us more about the state of Kansas politics than the seemingly reduced clout of the governor. When the governor purged moder-ates, most assumed that the newly elected conservatives would be ideologically simi-lar to the governor. However, many of the new cohort are actually more conservative than the governor, wanting to reduce income taxes and let the entire six-tenths of a percent of the sales tax sun-set. The extra quarter-billion dollars that would need to be cut has been why the most conservative faction has yet

to convince the rest of the House, any of the Senate or the governor that their vi-sion should lead. The Senate, more recently swept by the governor’s forces, is closer to his preferences but would still cut more than he prefers.

INSTEAD OF the two fac-tions of Team Morris and Team Brownback from the 2012 primaries, three fac-tions are emerging: Team Brownback, Team Chamber, and Team Undecided. The Brownback team knows that elections are coming next

year, and budget cuts are of-ten unpopular — big budget cuts even more so. But Team Chamber, influenced by for-mer House Speaker Mike O’Neal at the powerful Kan-sas Chamber of Commerce, are convinced that there will be no pushback for large cuts. Team Chamber is openly de-fying the governor’s more moderate, for lack of a bet-ter word, stance. Team Un-decided is the group that is up for grabs, waiting to see which side will start to domi-nate proceedings so as not to anger the wrong people in ad-vance of the 2014 elections.

None of the three factions is big enough to exact their will on the rest of the legis-lative agenda. While most of Team Chamber is wracked with paranoia about be-ing placed on the right next year, Team Brownback and

Team Undecided are more concerned about Democrats knocking them off. The new-est members of any legisla-ture are the most vulnerable, so the fear among those with the most to lose is almost pal-pable. That fear from both sides may explain why rather than unity we seem to have three factions appearing in the legislature. As a result, the governor may now be wondering if he actually has gotten what he wished for.

Ten new permanent jobs and 30 to 40 seasonal jobs will be created at Inter-Collegiate Press the latter part of this year when a planned expan-sion is completed. Don Tyler, president of ICP, said the com-pany will bring its fine paper operations from its Mission plant to Iola. Bob Hessel, man-ager of the plant here, said a section “about the size of a tennis court” is being cleared at the plant to make room for the equipment and assembly space that the new operation will require. The ICP plant was the first to be built in the industrial park created by the city on the north edge of Iola 11 years ago.

fer, and decided to go with the program.

“There’s a certain status about what you fly in the Air Force,” Slaugh said. “It was kind of like going from driving a Corvette to driving a Volkswagen.”

He said the jets were meant to be fast and ef-ficient, while the heli-copters did a lot of “the dirty work” — specifi-cally retrieval and ex-traction of troops. The next step in his career would be a much more unique version of the helicopter pilot’s regu-lar tasks.

SLAUGH was as-signed to the Mountain Rescue Unit in Ogden, Utah, following his time in Texas.

What he described as “one of the more unique” units would open his eyes to a whole new side of the military.

He and his team trained in the Wasatch Range of Utah, where Slaugh grew up, drop-ping paratroopers in the mountains during winter time (with skis on backpacks) and in the desert. His unit also served in search and rescue operations as well, rescuing lost hik-ers and climbers.

Assisting with plane crashes was some of the most harrowing experi-ences, Slaugh said, re-calling an occasion that left an impact on he and his flight engineer:

“We were first re-sponders for a plane crash in the Utah/Ne-vada desert,” Slaugh said. “You could see pieces of aircraft, and the black scar on the desert floor.”

He said the images of the wreckage, along with the remains of the pilots, had quite an effect on him and his partner.

“He (the flight en-gineer) went out and got wasted that night, he was upset,” he said.

“They ended up finding him in someone’s back-yard the next morning.

“Some people take it differently than oth-ers.”

Another occasion had a much happier ending.

He was given the task of transferring a heart-attack patient to a larg-er hospital from Rock Springs, Wyo. The pri-mary landing area was in a school playground, which was having re-cess at the time.

“We had to go to our secondary landing area — a baseball field,” he said smiling. He and his flight engineer sur-veyed the landing area before dropping down, not noticing a telephone wire running through the trees, across the field.

“We started to land, and he yelled ‘wire! wire! wire!” Slaugh said. “We managed to stop our descent just as the wire bounced off of the skids on the bottom of the helicopter.”

They avoided an inci-dent by mere inches.

“That would’ve messed up our day,” Slaugh said with a laugh.

SLAUGH served two tours in Germany, after some “politicking” on where he would take his next step in the Air Force. The tours spanned 1982-85 and

1988-1991.During his first tour,

he was in charge of fly-ing dignitaries — “sena-tors, congressman and generals” — to and from Ramstein Air Base, where he was stationed.

The transition was easy for him, he had spent 1967-69 in Austria as a missionary for his church, and his fam-ily enjoyed their time there.

“We had the best of both worlds,” Slaugh said of the American base, partnered with the German economy and culture.

All of his children, Joseph, Karla, Jenni-fer, Heidi and Russell — along with his wife, Cheryl — were in Ger-many with him at the time.

He recalled flying

passengers across Eu-rope to the United King-dom.

“It’s fun to give your-self guided helicopter tours up the Thames River, and the Cliffs of Dover,” he said.

After a “less desir-able” stint in North Da-kota, Slaugh returned to Germany in 1988 — dur-ing Desert Storm. This time, he was stationed at Rhein-Main Air Base (named after the merg-ing of the Rhein and Main rivers).

At that point he was a major and had the title of air field manager for the base.

He said approximate-ly one-third of the air traffic that went to Iraq during the first Gulf War came through the air base.

“We took care of the C-5s and 747s,” Slaugh said.

“They gave me a lot of assignments to coor-dinate with the German operators.”

After serving during the war, he finished off his career with the Civil Air Patrol at McClellan Air Base in Sacramen-to, Calif.

SLAUGH said the military has given him a wealth of experiences while serving his coun-try as well as providing some of the happiest memories as a family.

Legislature adjournsuntil Tuesday; stillat budget impasseKansas Health Institute

TOPEKA — The House made short work Friday of rejecting the latest budget plan and a Senate tax compromise. Both chambers then ad-journed until after the Memorial Day weekend.

The Senate tax pro-posal, intended to lure House votes with a cut in the sales tax on food to 4.95 percent, only got five votes.

House and Senate tax negotiators agreed to meet again Friday but made no real progress at their 11:45 a.m. meeting.

Sen. Les Donovan, R-WIchita, was replaced as the top Senate negotiator

because he was traveling out of state for a long-planned vacation. Sen. Caryn Tyson, a Parker Republican, took Dono-van’s seat. Also joining the Senate bargaining team was Senate Major-ity Leader Terry Bruce, R-Hutchinson. The Democrat representing the Senate was Sen. Tom Holland of Baldwin City.

The House negotiators were unchanged: Rep. Richard Carlson, the St. Marys Republican who chairs the House tax committee, and Reps. Ju-lie Menghini, a Pittsburg Democrat, along with Rep. Arlen Siegfreid, an Olathe Republican.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Gov. Sam Brownback says Kansas residents want their legislators to get tax policy right and are willing to accept the annual session going longer than anticipated.

The Republican gover-nor said in a statement Friday that it’s challeng-ing for lawmakers to en-act policies for improv-ing the economy while balancing the state bud-get.

Republicans in the GOP-controlled Legisla-ture are deadlocked on

proposals to cut personal income taxes while rais-ing new sales tax rev-enues to keep the budget in balance.

Both chambers have adjourned until Tuesday, guaranteeing that the legislative session will go into its 95th day.

Brownback said of Kansans, “They’re inter-ested in solutions, even if it takes some overtime.”

His statement came two days after he admon-ished lawmakers that it was time for them to wrap up their session.

Gov. defends delay

BEIRUT (AP) — Syr-ia’s government has agreed to attend a U.S.-Russian-brokered peace conference, according to Moscow. While this de-velopment might seem at first glance to be a step toward ending the civil war, strong skepticism persists on both sides.

Doubting that Damas-cus is serious and may be stalling while govern-ment forces make battle-field gains, the Syrian opposition has demand-ed guarantees that Pres-ident Bashar Assad’s departure top the agen-da; Russia questioned whether the fragmented opposition is capable of negotiating with one voice.

The war has killed more than 70,000 people, and both sides are firmly entrenched in their po-sitions and appear un-willing to compromise to stop the carnage and chaos engulfing the country.

“We are not willing to enter a tunnel with no guarantees of a light at the end of that tunnel,” said Muhieddine Lath-kani, a London-based Syrian opposition figure. “There’s still a lot of fog-giness surrounding the talks and we are waiting for some answers,” he said in a telephone inter-view.

Much about the con-ference remains up in the air, including the date, the agenda, the timetable and the par-ticipants. Officials have said it should be held in June.

U.S. officials said Sec-retary of State John Kerry will extend a sev-en-day trip through the Middle East and Africa by one day to meet with Russian Foreign Min-ister Sergey Lavrov on Monday to discuss their joint initiative.

The opposition is deeply suspicious about Assad’s intention to hold serious peace talks, and the fact that the announcement was made by the Russians — Assad’s government has not issued a definitive statement of its own — added to the skepticism.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas school districts face the loss of about $7.2 million this coming school year in federal funding for its high-pov-erty schools, according to the state Department of Education.

In a letter notifying school districts of the cuts Thursday, the de-partment described the losses in Title I funding as “major.” The depart-ment said 5 percent was cut because of the re-quired federal budget cuts, and 0.2 of a percent because of a smaller to-tal allocation from Con-gress.

Title I funding pays for teaching staff and services at high-poverty schools, including extra math and reading teach-ers who help children who are struggling aca-demically. The money also funds after-school programs.

The federal govern-ment distributes Con-gress’ Title I allocation

based on the poverty levels of districts’ stu-dent bodies, and the pov-erty figures for Kansas hadn’t grown as much as in most other states, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported.

Tammy Austin, execu-tive director of admin-istration for the Topeka Unified School District 501, said cuts in Title I for her district were equiva-lent to 13 teachers’ sala-ries and benefits.

“It’s devastating,” Austin said. “What’s dif-ficult is you’re expect-ing something, and then it’s not there, and some-thing’s got to give.”

Austin said USD 501 had been planning for a potential loss of 8 per-cent of its Title I money but is now losing 9.25 percent. The district had expected to absorb cuts through staff attri-tion and hopes that will be possible. But she said the district hasn’t had time to assess the situa-tion.

Title I cuts affect poorer schools

Coach reflects as Allen athletes excel at nationals — B3

BY RICHARD LUKENrichard@iolaregister.comMANHATTAN — It was a

case of too little, too late.Humboldt High’s offense,

which struggled mightily over the first few innings of the Class 3A state quarterfinals, began to click in the fifth in-ning against Salina-Sacred Heart starter Daniel O’Brien.

The Cubs scored three and had two runners in scoring

position, still with nobody out.Just as quickly, the rally

ended. O’Brien induced a strike-

out, then Caleb Vannata’s fly ball to Knight right fielder Justin McCartney turned into a double play when McCart-ney gunned down Corey Whit-comb at the plate.

BY RICHARD LUKENrichard@iolaregister.com

MANHATTAN — For five glorious innings, Humboldt High’s Courtney Richey and Marysville’s Danielle Fin-cham treated the crowd to a scintillating pitchers’ duel.

It boiled down to which team could avoid costly mis-takes.

Marysville did; Humboldt did not.

The score stood at 0-0 be-fore a pair of hit batters and two errors led to Marys-ville’s only rally of the game, a three-run spurt in the top of the sixth.

Down, but not out, Hum-boldt offered up a late rally of its own.

After stranding two run-ners in the sixth, the first four Lady Cub batters reached base in the bottom of the seventh, including Jaci Ross’ two-run single to pull Humboldt to within 3-2, still with nobody out.

But Fincham got a strike-out, and Breanna Kline’s smash to third base was snared by Marysville’s Lacy Uhlik, who stepped on the bag for one out and threw to first for the other in a game-ending double play.

Just like that, Humboldt’s participation in the Class 3A state softball playoffs was over.

WICHITA — Iola High’s Ashley Campbell and Emery Driskel showed their mettle against some of the best ath-letes in the state Friday. Tyler Powelson waited a day to see what he can do.

The trio represent Iola at the state track meet.

Powelson dropped out of the Class 4A boys 3200-meter run because of illness, and to focus on today’s 1600-meter run.

Campbell, meanwhile, nar-rowly missed qualifying for the finals in the 400-meter dash. She finished ninth in the preliminaries. Her time of

60.98 seconds was .13 behind the final qualifying time.

Campbell rebounded to qualify in the 200-meter dash finals. She finished seventh in the preliminary round with a time of 26.94 seconds.

In addition to today’s 200, Campbell will compete in the

100-meter dash.Driskel ran in both the 100-

and 300-meter hurdle prelimi-naries, but failed to qualify for today’s finals.

Driskel finished 13th in the 100 hurdles in 16.87 seconds and 16th in the 300 hurdles in 51.12 seconds.

Iola’s Breanna Stout will join the Iola contingent this morning in the girls pole vault.

Hayden ends Iola’s title dreamsBY RICHARD LUKEN

richard@iolaregister.com SALINA — Iola High’s

dream season ended two runs short of the Mustangs’ goal — a state title.

In a thrilling championship game that had fans of both schools on the edges of their seats from the first pitch, it was Topeka-Hayden that fired the decisive volley.

In a span of three batters, the Wildcats turned a 4-3 defi-cit to Iola into a 5-4 lead in the top of the fifth.

Hayden’s bullpen took over from there, thwarting every Mustang scoring opportunity in a 6-4 win.

The loss — Iola’s first of the season — means the Mustangs are Class 4A runners-up.

It marked the culmination of a deliriously wonderful stretch of baseball for Iola, which had rolled through the first two rounds of the state playoffs by a combined 11-2.

But that mattered little to the dejected Iola players, who were consoled by head coach Mark Percy and assistant coach Sherman Ashmore af-ter the loss.

“Helluva season,” Percy said. “It was a great game.”

A pair of Mustang miscues in the first inning were pivot-al, Percy said.

Hayden took a quick 3-0 lead on two Iola errors. All three runs were unearned.

“Hayden’s a good team, and they were able to get three quick runs off of us,” Percy said.

Iola rebounded quickly.Levi Ashmore led off the

H MustangsContinued from B1

bottom of the first with a single, stole second and scored on Aaron Bar-clay’s RBI single. Tyler Clubine followed an RBI single of his own, scor-ing Trent Latta, to cut the gap to 3-2.

Latta — who pitched brilliantly one day be-fore in a quarterfinal win over Field Kindley — settled down after the first, holding Hayden scoreless over the next three innings.

Meanwhile, Iola took its first lead in the bot-tom of the third. Latta singled, then Coons’ line drive was dropped by the Hayden shortstop. Derrick Weir followed with a single to load the bases. Barclay’s ground ball scored Latta, then Coons was able to induce a Hayden mistake — the catcher dropped the ball as he attempted to score on a fly ball. Coons’ run put the Mustangs on top 4-3.

But that changed in the top of the fifth, starting with a one-out walk. Hayden’s Tanner Triggs blasted a triple to tie the score. Skylar Smith followed with a single to put Hayden back on top.

Iola put runners on base in every inning but the second. But Hayden’s pitching staff was able to withstand every chal-lenge.

Triggs retired Io-la’s Mason Coons on a ground ball with two outs in the fourth and a runner on second. The Mustangs’ Derrick Weir led off the fifth with a single, but was caught stealing. An error put Eric Heffern on second base, but Ashmore was retired on a pop-up to end the sixth.

Latta walked to lead off the bottom of the seventh inning, but Hayden’s Brogan Heinen retired the final three Mustangs in order. Clubine’s ground ball ended the game.

“We had trouble get-ting the big hit, but a

lot of that is because of their pitching,” Percy said. “They’ve won state titles before. That team is good.”

Latta, Coons and Barclay combined to al-low eight hits and two earned runs.

Latta and Weir each had two singles. Ash-more, Barclay, Clubine and Rhoads each singled once.

THE MUSTANGS flashed all kinds of leather against DeSoto earlier Friday to earn the championship berth.

Starting pitcher Coons was backed up by several sterling plays across the diamond in a 6-2 semifinal win.

Left fielder Cole Mor-rison gunned down DeSoto’s leadoff batter at third after he tried to stretch a double on the game’s first play. Right fielder Drew Faulhaber got into the act in the sixth, throwing out a runner at second.

Meanwhile, the Mus-tangs took advantage of

DeSoto starter Corbin Clark’s wildness, uti-lizing two hit batters, a walk and an error to take a 1-0 lead. Aaron Barclay’s single scored Trent Latta to put the Mustangs ahead, 2-0.

The Wildcats evened the score at 2-2 in the top of the third. Morrison and Eric Heffern collid-ed at the warning track on Clark’s drive to left center for a triple, scor-ing two.

Iola responded in the bottom half of the in-ning with the bottom half of the order — all with two outs and no-body on base.

Barclay’s single start-ed the proceedings. Clubine walked and Ja-cob Rhoads was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Another walk to Faulha-ber scored Barclay. Hef-fern stroked a single to left — Percy agreed after the game it was the big-gest hit of the contest — to score two. Ashmore followed with an RBI double to cap the scor-ing.

That was all Coons needed. The senior held DeSoto hitless over the final four innings.

He surrendered four hits and a walk with one strikeout.

Barclay had two hits to pace the Mustang of-fense. Ashmore deliv-ered a double. Coons and Heffern had singles.

THURSDAY’S quar-terfinal win over Field Kindley of Coffeyville was keyed by Trent Lat-ta’s pitching. He tossed a four-hit shutout,

“The key was getting ahead in the count,” Lat-ta said. “I was able to hit my spots from the start.”

Levi Ashmore started the Mustangs’ third-inning rally with a bunt single. Latta aided his own cause with an RBI triple. Weir’s single two batters later scored Lat-ta.

Faulhaber pushed the lead to 3-0 in the fourth with a single to drive in

Jacob Rhoads.Ashmore’s sacri-

fice fly drove in Tyler Clubine in the bottom of the sixth. Latta followed with his second RBI hit of the game, a single, to drive in Faulhaber.

Latta found trouble in two innings. He induced a double play grounder to Ashmore in the top of the third after two Field Kindley batters had sin-gled.

Two more Golden Tornado singles with nobody out in the top of the sixth brought up the heart of the Field Kind-ley batting order.

Latta responded by striking out Grant New-ton and Lucas Linde-smith before retiring Mi-cah Elrod on a fly ball to end the threat.

ed in fine fashion for Crest High’s Kurston Gilliland and Jordan Morton.

Gilliland brought home a bronze medal in the girls 1A shot put with a distance of 39 feet, 8 1/2 inches.

Morton, meanwhile was fourth in the boys javelin, with a distance of 176’6”. His distance was a shade farther than Southern Coffey Coun-ty’s Aaron True’s mark of 171’5”. True brought home seventh.

Gilliland added anoth-er top-10 finish. She fin-ished 10th in the discus with a distance of 101’8”.

Marmaton Valley High’s Daylen Houk qualified for the finals in the boys 200-meter dash, while narrowly miss-ing a qualifying mark in the 400. His time of 53.25 seconds was a fraction of a second behind the eighth-place — and final — qualifier.

IN OTHER classes, Humboldt High’s Tan-ner McNutt qualified in three events in Class 3A.

He had the top quali-fying mark in the boys 400 preliminaries with a time of 49.24 seconds. He also qualified for today’s finals in the 200-meter dash and as the anchor of Humboldt’s 4x400-meter relay team. Other

relay team members are Ethan Bartlett, Nick Ke-azer and Samuel Agu-irre.

Aguirre, too, qualified in the boys’ 110-meter hurdles for today’s final heat.

McNutt still must compete in the boys 800-meter run, where he is the defending 3A state champion.

In Class 2A, Yates Cen-ter High’s Paige Stein-forth brought home a top-10 finish in the girls high jump.

Steinforth cleared 4’10”.

ends at 15-3. “We just needed one

more hit to tie and maybe win,” Humboldt coach Brad Piley said. “We had good speed on the bases.”

The loss spoiled Richey’s dominating pitching performance. She allowed a pair of singles in the first in-ning before retiring 11 in a row at one point. She struck out 11, while allowing only three hits.

The third hit was the

killer. Dani Schwarz’s soft line drive just elud-ed Humboldt shortstop Breanna Kline’s grasp, allowing two runs to score. Another error brought Schwarz home for Marysville’s deci-sive run.

“Those ‘doo-doo’ hits killed us,” Piley said.

Fincham retired the first 10 Humboldt bat-ters until Kayle Riebel singled with one out in the fourth. Kline and Riebel singled in the sixth, but could not score. Kasey Beeman, Morgan Morris and Ross singled in the sev-enth.

Despite the loss, Humboldt has reason for optimism. Richey, after all, is just a freshman. Eleven of the 15 Lady Cub play-ers are freshmen or sophomores. Hum-boldt loses one senior, first baseman Megan Herder.

“This was the first trip to state for these girls,” Piley said. “Sometimes it takes an experience like this to get your feet wet, to get acclimated to the atmo-sphere. We’re gonna work our tails off over the offseason to get bet-ter. We’ll be back.”

runners on base in the sixth, but couldn’t score again in a 9-3 loss.

The defeat ends Hum-boldt’s season at 15-3. Sacred Heart advanced to the state semifinals to play Silver Lake,

“We just seemed tenta-tive at the plate,” Hum-boldt coach Mike Miller said. “We just couldn’t get that first run until it was too late.”

The Cubs struggled from the outset, falling be-hind 3-0 in the first inning, despite allowing only one hit. Cub starter Grayson Pearish walked three in the frame, and a costly er-ror prevented what could have been a double play with no runs scoring.

“Who knows what happens if we get that double play,” Miller said. “That inning set the tone.”

The Knights tacked on two runs in the second and three more in the third to lead 8-0.

Sacred Heart catch-er Tate Richards stole home in the top of the fourth — part of a dou-ble steal — to put the Knights up 9-0.

Reliever Nathan Whit-comb, who replaced Pearish in the top of the third, settled down from there, retiring the final 11 Knight batters in or-der.

“We played better, but they have a good team over there,” Miller said.

Humboldt, mean-while, was hitless until the bottom of the fifth.

That’s when things started to get interesting.

A walk and error preceded Hunter Mur-row’s line drive double to score the Cubs’ first run. Corey Whitcomb and Nathan Whitcomb followed with singles to score two more.

A double steal by the Whitcombs had runners in scoring position, and O’Brien seemingly on the ropes, until the fate-

ful double play let the air out of Humboldt’s pro-verbial balloon.

Pearish allowed three hits and three walks in his two innings of work. Nathan Whitcomb gave up four hits and struck out three.

Hunter Murrow had a double. Corey and Na-than Whitcomb each had a single, as did Kason Sie-mens and Alex Murrow.

THE LOSS should do little to spoil what has been a remarkable run for Humboldt athletics, Miller said. The Cub foot-ball, softball and boys basketball teams all made the state playoffs as well.

“It’s been a great year,” he said.

Humboldt loses only one senior from this year’s squad, but he will be a tough one to replace.

Nathan Whitcomb will play next year down the road from Humboldt at Neosho County Com-munity College.

“He’s meant a great deal to this program,” Miller said. “He leaves some big shoes to fill, not just in baseball, but in all sports.”

HUTCHINSON — While Allen Commu-nity College’s track season just ended, the program’s ascendence “is just getting started,” head coach Vince DeGra-do said.

“Overall I couldn’t have been happier with everybody’s develop-ment,” DeGrado said. “To think, two years is all it took to build up these teams into a con-ference champion and region top 5 team.”

The Red Devils wrapped up their sea-son last weekend at the NJCAA National Meet in Hutchinson. (For full results, see Thursday’s Register.)

“I’m really going to miss those sophomores that followed me over

here to Allen,” said De-Grado, in his second stint coaching at ACC following a time at Cow-ley Community College. “They will never be for-gotten, and will always have a special place with me. We have all been through a lot and to see them succeed really does make it all worth it.”

DeGrado noted Gabby Ruiz finished fourth in the nation in the 10,000 meter run. Danae Mc-Gee followed in seventh.

“Denae was running in the top three until midway through the race,” De Grado said. “It just wasn’t her day.”

Ryan Pulsifer’s run in the men’s 10,000 meters “was probably one of the best performances I can remember,” DeGrado

said.Pulsifer kept pace,

even while others repeat-edly sped up and slowed down around him.

He finished eighth.“Ryan just stuck his

nose in there and kept matching all the surg-es,” DeGrado said. He was among the top three Americans in the race.

The ACC men’s 4x800-meter relay team of Josh Whittaker, Evan Adams, Tegan Michael and Tucker Morgan had a record-breaking day.

“I switched the legs up to throw off some of the other teams, and Tegan got us into first overall after his leg,” DeGrado said.

The Red Devils fin-ished third — good for All-American status —

and was the top school consisting entirely of U.S. citizens.

The squad’s time of 7 minutes, 42.69 seconds shattered the old ACC school record.

“Going in we were ranked seventh, and we finished third. I could not have asked for a bet-ter ending,” DeGrado said.

Another school re-cord fell in the women’s 400-meter dash.

Terika Henry’s time of 54.99 seconds was good for third in the na-tion.

“Terika has done an amazing job this year, and will be favorite in 2014,” DeGrado said.

The men finished 25th in the nation, while the women finished 18th.

“We knew going in we weren’t built for na-tional high finishes yet,” DeGrado said. “All I know is we’re only getting started. Next year’s team will look to defend its con-ference title, both in cross country and track, and make seri-ous runs at Region VI titles. We will always shoot for top 10 finish-es at nationals.”

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.

Dear Tom and Ray: I have a 2005 Subaru WRX STI with 106,000 miles, and it is time to replace the timing belt. The Suba-ru dealer will do the job for $1,800, but I found an independent garage that will do the job for $650. The difference is that the dealer would use genuine Subaru parts.

The independent me-chanic says his parts come from Japan and are just as good as the genuine parts. Should I spend the extra money for the genuine parts, or can I save my money? I would like the car to last another five years, but my finances aren’t that great right now. Please help! Thank you. — Bill

Tom: We normally would use genuine parts in a situation like this, because on this job, the difference in our cost for the parts probably is $100. But I wouldn’t be afraid to use good aftermarket parts on a car with more than 100,000 miles on it. They’d probably be fine.

In fact, sometimes they’re the exact same parts.

RAY: But since the dif-

ference in the parts price is small, there has to be something else to explain why the dealer’s price is triple the independent mechanic’s.

Tom: Like, he’s got a bigger boat he’s trying to pay off.

Ray: Could be. But it also could be that these two shops have different definitions of the term “timing belt change.”

Tom: For instance, when we replace a timing belt, we always replace the water pump, too. Why? Because the water pump is run by the tim-ing belt. And if the wa-ter pump were to freeze up a week after you got the timing belt replaced, you’d need, what? Anoth-

er new timing belt.And wouldn’t that tick

you off?Ray: When the timing

belt is already off, most of the labor to change the water pump is al-ready done. So you’re not adding much more than the cost of the part: the water pump itself. And with 100,000 miles on a car, you’d be crazy not to put in a new water pump while you have access to it.

Tom: On a car like this, that has double overhead cams, we’d also take off all the sprockets and re-place all four cam seals while the belt is off. Why? First of all, they’re as old as the belt, and you have easy access to them while the timing belt is off. And second, if one of them leaks two months from now, the customer’s going to try to blame us. So we avoid that potential con-flict by making it part of the job.

Ray: If we were doing a job like this, on your car the price probably would

be somewhere around $1,200.

So the Subaru dealer may be charging too much, but the other guy may be charging too little — because he’s not doing enough.

Tom: So, get a better accounting from each of these shops as to exactly what it proposes to do. I’m guessing the dealer plans to do all the stuff we usually do. But check. And you need to find out what, exactly, the other guy plans to do for $650. You also can ask him to give you a price with a new water pump, four new cam seals, a crank seal and genuine parts (if you’re curious).

Ray: Then you can make a fair comparison of the prices and decide whether the real dif-ference in cost is large enough to stay away from the dealer. It very well may be, but you can’t know that unless you’re comparing apples to ap-ples. Or cam seals to cam seals.

Is a timing belt just a timing belt?

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Kansas Highway 10 between Lawrence and Johnson County would become a partial toll road under a long-range plan for future highway proj-ects, the Kansas Depart-ment of Transportation said.

The plan, which was re-leased Thursday, suggests that sometime between 2030 and 2040, the high-way should be widened to six lanes by adding “high occupancy toll,” or HOT lanes, in each direction. Mass transit and car pool vehicles could use the HOT lanes for free, but single-occupant vehicles would pay a toll, The Law-rence Journal-World re-ported.

The recommendation is part of the Five County Regional Transporta-tion Study compiled by the transportation de-partment, the Lawrence-Douglas County Metro-politan Planning Office and the Mid-America Re-gional Council.

The report will be used to identify projects for a future multiyear trans-portation program after the current program ends in 2020.

The cost of adding the HOT lanes from Law-rence to Interstate 435 in Kansas City is estimated at $205.6 million, accord-ing to the report.

Douglas County Com-missioner Mike Gaughn,

who served on the plan-ning group, said as de-velopment continues along the heavily used Lawrence to Kansas City route, there will be a need to widen Kansas 10, and toll lanes may be the

only viable way of fund-ing it.

“The traditional source of funding is fuel taxes,” Gaughan said. “As cars and trucks be-come more efficient and use less fuel, there will

necessarily be less fund-ing derived from that source. You’re obviously seeing this across the country and tolling is be-coming a more regular way to fund projects on this scale.”

Plan suggests tolls on Kansas highway

Any advice for newcomers as America’s big Race Day approaches?

The Sunday of Memorial Day weekend is the closest thing race fans get to their own personal holiday — well, that and Richard Petty’s birthday. Not long after treating mama to brunch (go ahead, it’s a holiday!), tune to the festivities at Indianapolis. Trust us, nobody does pomp and circumstance like the old-timers at Indy, who still believe in traditional music, balloons and a three-by-three lineup that makes the fi rst lap of the Indianapolis 500 the whitest-knuckling moment in racing.

And after that?Well, you can keep watching and get lessons in oversteer, understeer and boost, or you can take a break and come back in a couple of hours. We’re guessing you’ll go work on your tan or the marinade. And later that day and into the night, you can watch a Coca-Cola 600 that, due to changing conditions and sheer length, actually seems like three or four races in one.

Will we ever see Dick Trickle in NA-SCAR’s Hall of Fame?

Saving the best question for last. A nod has been given to those who dominated the off-Broadway short-track wars through the decades — Richie Evans, for instance, is already in the NASCAR Hall, and others of his ilk are on the list of nominees. Problem is, Trickle’s most dominating short-track work was done outside the NASCAR-sanctioned umbrella. Should he still get consideration? Defi nitely. Will he? We’ll see.

AP/DARRON CUMMINGSNo fenders, no roof, no problem? We’ll see.

AP/NELL REDMOND Kyle Busch vs. his pit crew: Busch was fast in the All-Star Race but fi nished third and put some of the blame on his pit crew.Godwin Kelly gives his take: “Busch said, ‘Just didn’t quite get the best pit stop there at the end.’ A public critique might just speed things up. Or, then again, maybe …slow … them … down.”

GODWIN’S CHARLOTTE PICKSWINNER: Kasey KahneREST OF THE TOP FIVE: Brad Keselowski, Matt Kenseth, Carl Edwards, Kyle BuschDARK HORSE: Dale Earnhardt Jr.FIRST ONE OUT: David Gilliland

Short-track superstar Dick Trickle died on Thursday of an apparent suicide, authorities said. When the Sprint Cup Series gathered at Charlotte Motor Speedway the next day, Trickle was on the mind of many current and former big-league drivers. Here is what they had to say about the 71-year-old legend.

Mark Martin“Dick made himself a mentor to many — Rusty (Wallace),

myself, Alan Kulwicki. You know, we wouldn’t have been the racers that we were when we got here had we not come under his infl uence. Of course, you have to change, after a while you have to adapt to circumstances as well. He raced us real hard on the race track, but off the race track, he was very free with parts or advice — he gave freely.”

Brad Keselowski“Dick Trickle is one of those guys that was a part of this sport

in a number of ways and meant a lot to the local short-track races, and kind of more the Midwest style of racing, which was track by track when NASCAR was more of a regional, Southern sport before it had developed into the national platform it is now. He was the superstar of that style, of that genre and era. It’s very sad to see him go and, obviously, diffi cult with the way it went.”

Matt Kenseth“Man, Dick was a legend, especially, up in Wisconsin short-

track racing where I grew up. It’s just crazy, surprising news. I

don’t really know all the circumstances. Last time I saw him was at Slinger (Speedway in Wisconsin) last year. I talked to him for a while — it was right after the news came out that I was moving to Joe Gibbs Racing — and he kind of peeked in the trailer, and of course, he asked if we had any beer in there, and he came in there and, man, we sat in there for two hours.”

Rusty Wallace“I’m in 100 percent shock. Dick Trickle was my mentor. When

I was short-track-racing, I would call him every Monday morning, and he would always help me with race setups and stuff. He and I had such a good time telling little stories, but he was the guy that taught me almost everything in the American Speed Association. And he was the guy that I battled right to the end for my 1983 ASA championship. I barely beat the guy that taught me everything. I’d not seen Dick as much as I’d like to of late. He was a legend. A man that’d won over a thousand short-track races, was one of the most winning short-trackers in America, was a role model to many short-track-racers coming up. Could just do magic with the race car, and he taught me so much about racing. My success in the ASA and what Trickle taught me is what got me into NASCAR. That’s what got me hired by Cliff Stewart back in ’84. Between Larry Phillips and Dick Trickle, they taught me everything.”

Any driver will tell you that any race win is a good thing for the soul and spirit of your team.

Jamie McMurray won a Sprint Cup Series race before tens of thousands of spectators at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Saturday night, and yet that victory will not be remembered long.

McMurray, who drives the No. 1 Earnhardt Ganassi Racing Chevrolet, captured the checkered fl ag in the Sprint Showdown, which was a 40-lap qualifi er for the Sprint All-Star Race. To his credit, McMurray carved out a top-10 All-Star fi nish (eighth), but winning the Showdown is like a triumph in an NCAA basketball play-in game.

Yes, it has some merit and proves you belong with the elite, but on the other hand, it shows the overall weakness of the team by being in that must-win position. Still, McMurray was happy and grateful to make the big show.

“If you’re a full-time Sprint Cup guy, and you don’t win a race and you’re not in that race, it’s really hard,” he said. “You want to feel like you’re a part of that A-team and that you’re a part of these guys, and it’s even harder when you’ve been a part of it before.

“When you go home early (All-Star night), the guys that are leaving right now, it’s hard. They’ll all tell you that. It’s really hard to get in your car and drive out of here and listen to this race on the radio or get home, take a shower and then watch it on TV. Yeah, I feel it’s an honor to get to do (make the All-Star Race).”

Blast from the pastYou know Ken Schrader? Kenny?

Back in his prime, Schrader would spend much of his time between Cup Series weekends and racing at short tracks around the country. Despite only three Cup starts this season, Schrader has probably raced 50 or more times in 2013.

The extra work paid an unexpected dividend Sunday when the 57-year-old Schrader became the oldest driver to win an ARCA race. Schrader, who turns 58 on May 29, captured the Menards 200 at Toledo (Ohio) Speedway. This was no fl uke. He started on the outside pole and led 163 laps.

Always the showman, Schrader waved to the crowd as he roared past the fi nish line. The NASCAR veteran won’t get much

time to celebrate the victory. The ARCA Series hits Elko Speedway in Minnesota on June 1.

“I love it,” Schrader said in Victory Lane. “That’s fi ve wins (at Toledo). We’ll take it. But, now, it means nothing because we have to go to Elko.”

“I do” at CharlotteWhen John and Monica Russell

decided to get married, they knew exactly where to do it. As die-hard race fans, there was really no other option. “I thought, ‘Well, let’s get married at a race track,’” John said. “Why not get married on the biggest stage (in racing).”

The Russells were married Saturday morning at the Charlotte Motor Speedway start-fi nish line. While both like stock-car racing, on paper, their courtship looks more like a drag race. The couple met online in October

and three days later they were engaged.

This scene too familiar? It’s dèjà boo for some fans.

What’s the best way to handle 1,100 miles of racing Sunday?

GODSPEAK: Strap yourself into the recliner and don’t forget the HANS device, because you don’t want to wake up with a sore neck from the long nap.KEN’S CALL: The easiest way is to watch the fi rst 15 minutes of Indy and the last 30 minutes of Charlotte. In between, overcook some burgers and pretend to enjoy the friends and family.

Is there a way to keep JJ from winning the

All-Star Race?GODSPEAK: Does anybody have Tonya Harding’s phone number?KEN’S CALL: Probably not, but the Busch brothers would likely suggest he should trade pit crews with them. That might help

Winning the Showdown like nabbing a play-in victory

BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT: Tony StewartDON’T BE SURPRISED IF: Kahne, who showed fl ashes of brilliance in the All-Star Race, captures NASCAR’s biggest endurance event with relative ease.
