BOSTON (AP) — Boston Marathon bombings supect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev remained hospitalized and unable to speak today with a gunshot wound to the throat, and the 19--year old was expected to be charged by federal authorities and face state charges in con-nection with the fatal shoot-ing of university police officer Sean Collier.

Seven days after the Boston Marathon bombings, the city planned to mark the traumat-ic week with mournful silence and a return to its bustling commute.

Authorities on Friday had made the unprecedented re-quest that residents stay at home during the manhunt for suspect Tsarnaev. He was discovered that evening hid-ing in a boat covered by a tarp in suburban Watertown. His older brother Tamerlan was earlier killed during a furious getaway attempt.

“It’s surreal,” said Barbara Alton, as she walked her dog along Newbury Street. “But I feel like things are starting to get back to normal.”

Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick has asked residents to observe a moment of silence at 2:50 p.m. Monday, the time the first of the two bombs ex-ploded near the finish line. Bells will ring across the city and state after the minute-long tribute to the victims.

Many Boston residents were heading back to work-places and schools for the first time since a dramatic week came to an even more dramat-ic end. Traffic was building on major arteries into the city to-

Richard Sigg, 59, Carlyle, died in a traffic accident three miles south of Girard Satur-day afternoon.

Iolans Raymond Sutterby, 62, and David Redfern, 66, were passengers in Sigg’s ve-hicle, and suffered serious in-juries.

According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, Sigg was westbound on a county road and drove onto K-7, a second-

ary route from Girard to Pittsburg and towns to the south, when his 1963 Studebaker collided with a Dodge Da-kota pickup truck driven

by Shawn Adam Garbin, 39, Girard.

Redfern was flown by heli-copter from the accident scene

to Freeman Hospital in Jop-lin. Sutterby and Garbin were taken by ambulance to Via Christi Hospital, Pittsburg. Sutterby then was transferred to Freeman.

According to Dayton Sut-terby, Raymond, his father, suffered broken ribs and a fractured vertebrae in his neck, which has him wearing a stabilizing collar.

By RICHARD LUKENrichard@iolaregister.comA handful of the greatest

ball players to ever suit up for Allen Community College’s baseball team were honored with laughs, recollections and a few tears Saturday evening.

The second annual Red Dev-il Diamond Club Hall of Fame ceremonies featured the induc-tion of former ACC superstars Rich Weisensee, “Rocket” Rod Rush, Duane Wales and Rich-ard Thomas; Joe Haynes, the school’s first baseball coach; and Val McLean, who has coached Allen for the past 37 years and is the winningest active coach in NJCAA with more than 1,100 wins.

SPEECHES WERE fre-quently light-hearted, with several moments of poignancy, particularly when Iolan Mark Percy, a former high school teammate of Weisensee, spoke about the late shortstop.

Weisensee died in March fol-lowing a yearlong battle with leukemia.

Percy, who coaches Iola High’s baseball team, talked about Weisensee’s prowess on the baseball diamond — “I

don’t know how he did it, but he could just flick the ball out there, and always make con-tact,” he said — as well as his skills on the football field and basketball court.

But as good as Weisensee was as an athlete, he was an even better man.

He respected his elders, to the point that Percy recalled one afternoon when Weisensee stopped by his house to pay a visit.

Percy’s father, Glenn, met Weisensee at the front door as the youngster asked to talk with Mark.

“I’m sorry, he’s not here right now,” Percy recalled his father saying, just as the two youths made eye contact through the door.

Rather than raise a fuss, Weisensee simply answered a respectful “OK,” and turned to leave before the elder Percy as-sured him it was a joke.

“Rich was respectful enough that if my father said I wasn’t there, it meant I wasn’t there,” Percy said.

Weisensee starred at Allen in 1977 and 1978, setting a num-

He worked as a commercial electrician for 40 years, traveling often in his profession.

He married Burma June “B.J.” McCall Townsley on May 23, 1979. He enjoyed fishing, woodworking, and in his younger years playing pool. He was al-ways busy, tinkering with something. He was a life-time member of the V.F.W. Post 7253 in Derby.

Survivors include his wife B.J.; son Eddie Gonza-lez; two step-sons, Lance and Billy Townsley; step-daughter, Sandra Drake; four brothers, Tony, Bobby, Dave, and Danny Gonzalez; and four sisters, Mickie Cotton, Juanita Godwin, Eloise Fowler and Rachel Rodriquez.

Five flatbed cars load-ed with 36-inch pipe that eventually will carry oil through Allen County and eastern Kansas are sitting on railroad sid-ing in Chanute.

Pipe for the project will be stored at a yard at the north edge of Hum-boldt.

The Enbridge-Flana-gan Pipeline will run from Flanagan, Ill., to Cushing, Okla., to carry crude oil.

Cushing is one of the largest storage hubs in the United States, ac-cording to information on a website created by Enbridge for the proj-ect.

Construction will start later this year on the 600-mile-long pipe-line, which will trans-port at least 775,000 bar-rels of oil a day.

Oil entering the line will come from North Dakota’s Bakken and western Canadian pro-ducers.

From Cushing, it will be distributed to Mid-west and Gulf Coast re-fineries.

The new pipeline will run parallel to En-bridge’s Spearhead pipe-line, which has been in service for many years.

Project cost is estimat-ed at $2.8 billion, with completion in 2014.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

When I first moved to Iola 13 years ago my mom said, “There’s two men I want you to have in your life. First, a husband. Sec-ond, Richard Sigg.”

My mom could read a person like no other. And sure enough, Richard has proven invaluable over the years not only as a crafts-man, but someone whose word could be taken at face value.

Richard, 59, died Satur-day afternoon from injuries sustained in a car wreck down in Crawford County.

His handprint is all over Allen County through his business, Day Construc-tion, which he took over from his father-in-law, Glen Day. He could build any-thing from the ground up, but also loved renovating and preserving old struc-tures. On a recent look-see around the basement of First P r e s b y t e -rian Church, R i c h a r d knew its wiring and p l u m b i n g to a T. “I put this all in 35 years ago for a renovation then,” he said. “No need to redo the cabine-try; it’s well-built. Could do with new doors, though.”

Richard was big on giv-ing people second chances. His work crew would fluc-tuate not only as business demanded, but also as peo-ple’s circumstances either improved or faltered. As a master carpenter he served as a mentor to many young men now handy with a tool. No job was too small for Richard. And he gave each his very best effort.

He rarely got more specif-ic than writing “Labor” and “Materials” on his bills. For those with a history of working with Richard, you knew he was always giving you a more than fair deal.

Besides carpentry, his other love was old cars. I’m thinking he should be bur-ied with a hammer in one hand and an oil dipstick in the other.

Richard was a good soul. Besides a devoted husband to his wife, Pat, he was a good son, by evidence of when he and Pat took Rich-ard’s mother, nearing 90 at the time, on a transconti-nental railroad trip to Brit-ish Columbia.

“It might not have been the smartest idea,” he said upon their return, “but it was for the most part fun. Mom loved it,” other than the fact that she fell ill mid-journey and had to be hos-pitalized.

RICHARD was a gentle-man in workman’s clothes. He held open the door for you. His language was clean and simple. He was quick to laugh. He was compassion-ate for those less fortunate.

And he seemed to want for nothing.

Remembering all the good, helps blunt the pain. We were lucky to have had him in our midst.

Richard Sigg:A gentleman incarpenter’s garb

Register editor

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A new Kansas law taking ef-fect this week declares that the federal government can’t regulate some guns within the state, but in the short term, it’s likely to remain more of a political statement than a practical curb on Washing-ton’s power.

Legislators who pushed for the new law have said they’re trying to rein in a federal gov-ernment that threatens to ca-reen out of control and violate the right to bear arms guaran-teed by both the U.S. and Kan-sas constitutions. The new law, signed by Republican Gov. Sam Brownback last week and taking effect Thursday, says the federal government has no authority to regulate firearms manufactured, sold and kept only in Kansas.

The Legislature’s debate over the policy has inspired a vigorous debate over whether the new law is likely to be up-held by the federal courts. But without a legal controversy — a confrontation between state and federal officials, for example — the courts would have nothing to settle. Until legal disputes arise, the law remains largely symbolic.

“Those would be fights that, if they come, we are well-equipped to handle,” Attor-ney General Derek Schmidt said during an interview last week. “How they might come, I think, is hard to predict.”

Pushing such a law gained urgency for gun-rights sup-porters this year, as President Barack Obama, some mem-bers of Congress and other officials discussed gun-con-trol proposals in the wake of the massacre at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school.

But state Sen. Forrest Knox, an Altoona Republican and a leading advocate of gun-rights legislation, said sentiment to

take on the federal govern-ment predates current discus-sions. The new Kansas law is modeled after a 2009 Montana law.

“My No. 1 priority this (leg-islative) session was to get Kansas to come against a fed-eral overreach,” Knox said.

Patricia Stoneking, presi-dent of the Kansas State Rifle Association, said the new law also sends a message to gun manufacturers that Kansas is friendly territory, giving them an incentive to relocate from states where legislators are pursuing new restrictions. But she said it also addresses fears that the federal government will ban and even attempt to confiscate some weapons.

The new law also applies to ammunition and firearms ac-cessories manufactured, sold and kept in Kansas. It will make it a felony for a federal agent to attempt to enforce any law, regulation, order or treaty affecting those items.

However, probation would be the presumed penalty for a first-time offender. And the new law says that federal agents would not be arrested or detained while they’re awaiting trial. Lawmakers

involved in drafting the final, softer version said their goal was to ensure that any legal disputes center on the state’s assertion of its sovereignty, not the details of an agent’s legal status.

But Allen Rostron, a Univer-sity of Missouri-Kansas City law professor and a former senior attorney at the Wash-ington-based Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, doubts the Kansas law can withstand a court challenge.

The U.S. Constitution grants Congress the power to regulate interstate commerce. The Kansas law declares that guns, ammunition and acces-sories manufactured, sold and kept in Kansas are not part of interstate commerce even if their parts come from outside

the state, but Rostron said fed-eral courts already have said congressional power is broad.

Also, he said, Kansas’ law would fail under the provision of the U.S. Constitution guar-anteeing that federal law is su-preme over states’ laws.

Still, Rostron said, enacting such measures can generate new cases, allowing support-ers to hope that the courts will rethink past rulings.

“They’re trying to make a point, and they don’t even re-ally care if the law is never ef-fective,” he said after a recent program on gun issues at the University of Kansas in Law-rence. “They’re going to make a point by making it kind of a declaration.”

When a Kansas House com-mittee considered the pro-posed law, Secretary of State Kris Kobach, himself a for-mer UMKC law professor, said it would pass constitutional muster. And Schmidt said the new law is “in a defensible pos-ture” because lawmakers ad-dressed “rough constitutional edges” in early versions.

Stoneking said, “We actu-ally welcome a challenge.”

In Montana, the state’s Shooting Sports Association

initiated a lawsuit in hopes of getting a favorable court rul-ing. However, a federal judge dismissed the case, upholding the federal government’s pow-er to regulate guns manufac-tured, sold and kept in a single state, and the case is on appeal.

Thus, Kansas gun-rights advocates could fare better if their state’s law is never test-ed. With no legal challenge, supporters of the Kansas law can argue that the federal gov-ernment hasn’t objected to the state’s declaration about the limits of federal power.

“That’s a good outcome, since the whole objective is to help encourage and to en-sure the federal government doesn’t overreach its author-ity,” Schmidt said. “Maybe it’s served its purpose.”

Tinn’s PinsWeight loss

Though it is hard to believe, summer is coming around the corner and most peo-ple are thinking about how they can get swimsuit ready. If you need a visual reminder every day then take two glass containers and put pebbles or marbles in them. Each time you weigh yourself if you have lost a pound move the pebble over to the pounds lost container. If you put it out where people can see it, such as the living room, it will allow for family and friends to see your progress and more likely to keep you on track.

able to have plain oil again. You will need olive oil and fresh rosemary. Heat the oil before adding the rosemary over low heat for one to two minutes. Let the oil cool for five minutes. Place the rosemary into the bottle. Make sure to use the oil within about two months.

day.In another sign

of progress, city of-ficials said they are beginning the process of reopening to the public the six-block site around the bomb-ing that killed three people and wounded more than 180. The an-nouncement came Sun-day, a day when people could still watch inves-tigators at the crime scene work in white jumpsuits.

A private funeral was scheduled today for Krystle Campbell, a 29-year-old restau-rant worker killed in the blasts. A memorial service will be held tonight at Boston Uni-versity for 23-year-old Lu Lingzi, a graduate student from China.

City churches on Sunday paused to mourn the dead as the city’s police commis-sioner said the two sus-pects had such a large cache of weapons that they were probably planning other attacks.

After the two broth-ers engaged in a gun battle with police ear-ly Friday, authorities found many unexplod-ed homemade bombs at the scene, along with more than 250 rounds of ammunition.

Police Commission-er Ed Davis said the stockpile was “as dan-gerous as it gets in ur-ban policing.”

“We have reason to believe, based upon the evidence that was found at that scene — the explosions, the ex-plosive ordnance that was unexploded and the firepower that they had — that they were going to attack other individuals. That’s my belief at this point.” Davis told CBS’s “Face the Nation.”

On “Fox News Sun-day,” he said authori-ties cannot be positive there are not more ex-plosives somewhere that have not been found. But the people of Boston are safe, he insisted.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and his 26-year-old brother, Tamerlan, the suspects in the twin bombings that killed three people and

wounded more than 180, are ethnic Chech-ens from southern Rus-sia. The motive for the bombings remained unclear.

Sen. Dan Coats of Indiana, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said the surviving brother’s throat wound raised questions about when he will be able to talk again, if ever.

The wound “doesn’t mean he can’t commu-nicate, but right now I think he’s in a condi-tion where we can’t get any information from him at all,” Coats told ABC’s “This Week.”

It was not clear whether Tsarnaev was shot by police or in-flicted the wound him-self.

In the final standoff with police, shots were fired from the boat, but investigators have not determined where the gunfire was aimed, Da-vis said.

In an interview with The Associated Press, the parents of Tamer-lan Tsarnaev insisted Sunday that he came to Dagestan and Chech-nya last year to visit relatives and had noth-ing to do with the mili-tants operating in the volatile part of Russia. His father said he slept much of the time.

A lawyer for Tamer-lan Tsarnaev’s wife told the AP Sunday night that federal authori-ties have asked to speak with her, and that he is discussing with them how to proceed.

Attorney Amato De-Luca said Katherine Russell Tsarnaev did not suspect her hus-band of anything, and that there was no rea-son for her to have sus-pected him. He said she had been working 70 to 80 hours, seven days a week, as a home health care aide. While she was at work, her hus-band cared for their tod-dler daughter, he said.

The younger Tsar-naev could be charged any day. The most seri-ous charge available to federal prosecutors would be the use of a weapon of mass de-struction to kill people, which carries a possible death sentence. Massa-chusetts does not have the death penalty.

Across the rattled streets of Boston, churches opened their doors to remember the dead and ease the grief of the living.

dated to regulate pain, but he isn’t on a ventila-tor,” Dayton said. “His breathing is a little la-bored, but he is breath-ing on his own.”

Redfern has been in intensive care since his arrival at Freeman, but was expected to be moved to regular care to-day, Dayton said.

“His injuries are mainly to the left side of his face and he has a lot of bruises,” Dayton re-ported. “David was on a ventilator but was taken off Sunday.”

Sutterby and Redfern were thrown from the 1963 Studebaker, built before seatbelts were a standard in vehicles.

The three men earlier in the day had attended a car show and races at the Mo-Kan Dragway north of Joplin. Dayton was with them there, but had ridden his motor-cycle and was on his way back to Iola when the ac-cident occurred.

“They went to Baxter Springs for the opening of a motorcycle shop, probably had hot-dogs

for lunch, before head-ing home,” Dayton said.

He speculated that they were driving on K-7 and saw a “car, truck or tractor that they want-ed to look at,” which prompted a side trip and led to them returning to the state highway by way of a gravel road just before the accident oc-curred.

Funeral services for Sigg are pending at Waugh-Yokum & Friskel Memorial Chapel, Iola, and will be announced in Tuesday’s Register.

The Rev. Phil Hon-eycutt, who oversees operation of the Com-munity Pantry, 16 W. Broadway, may be look-ing for storage space. The pantry will once again be the beneficia-ry of this year’s May 11 food collection drive by local letter carriers.

“Last year we col-lected 5,155 pounds of food,” said James Hunt, who chair the project for the Iola Post Office. The food over-flowed the Community Pantry, a project of the Iola Area Ministerial Alliance.

Letter carriers have collected food for sev-eral years, and expe-rienced an upswing in 2011, the first time they provided bags ahead of time for contributors.

“We picked up 3,600 pounds then,” said Hunt, after collecting

1,900 pounds in 2010. For several years the haul had averaged about 2,000 pounds.

Postcards will go out a few days ahead of the May 11 drive, dubbed “Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive.” Bags also will be delivered ahead

of time.Only non-perishable

food — canned, boxed or in some other sealed container — will be collected. Residents are asked to place bags of food in easy sight near mailboxes on col-lection day.

Food drive is May 11

We have reason to believe based upon evidence that was found at the scene... that they were going to attack other indi-viduals. That’s my belief at this point.

— Ed Davis,Boston Police Commissioner

IHS tennis team travels to Chanute — B2ACC softball, baseball teams compete — B4

By RICHARD LUKENrichard@iolaregister.com

CHANUTE — Iola High’s baseball team emerged vic-torious in a titanic matchup, rolling to a 16-2 win over pre-viously unbeaten Humboldt High Friday, then scoring four in the seventh inning to erase a 1-0 deficit in a 4-1 win.

How the sweep will rever-berate for both teams remains uncertain.

While the Mustangs are the first team to defeat Humboldt in the regular season since 2011, Iola must contend with an equally powerful squad Tuesday when unbeaten Cen-tral Heights comes to town.

“We weren’t really able to do much against Whitcomb until the end,” Mustang head coach Mark Percy said. “He’s a good pitcher.”

Friday’s doubleheader was moved from Humboldt to the Neosho County Commu-nity College campus because of wet field conditions. The teams originally were to be part of the Walter Johnson Baseball Tournament, along with Yates Center and Neode-

sha, but those teams stayed home after the tournament was canceled.

Humboldt ace Nathan Whitcomb held Iola in check through the first six innings

before an error and walk with one out led to Iola’s rally.

Eric Heffern reached on an error, Ashmore walked and Trent Latta reached on an error. Mason Coons walked,

then Derrick Weir drilled an RBI single, as did Aaron Bar-clay, giving Iola a 4-1 lead.

Coons picked up the baton from there from the mound.

He retired Humboldt in or-

der in the bottom of the sev-enth to finish his complete game win. He held the power-ful Cub offense in check, scat-tering six hits with five strike-outs and a walk.

Barclay was 2-for-4 at the plate. Heffern had a single, as did Tyler Clubine and Weir.

Whitcomb took the loss, de-spite giving up only four hits with seven strikeouts.

Humboldt’s only run came on Caleb Vannata’s RBI triple in the fourth, driving in Gray-son Pearish, who had singled.

Hunter Murrow added two singles for the Cubs. Vanatta also had a single.

Things weren’t nearly as dramatic in the opener. Iola exploded for five runs in the third and fourth innings, then six more in the top of the sixth.

Jacob Rhoads smacked a leadoff triple in the third. He scored on an error. Levi Ashmore and Latta followed with singles. Coons followed with an RBI single, then Weir smashed a double. Barclay fol-

By RICHARD LUKENrichard@iolaregister.comHUMBOLDT — A pair of

dominant pitching perfor-mances turned into a tourna-ment championship Friday for Humboldt High’s Lady Cubs.

Humboldt’s Jaci Ross and Courtney Richey combined to give up only three runs with 18 strikeouts as Humboldt rolled past Neodesha 17-2 and Yates Center 11-1 in the title game.

“It always means a lot to me and the Lady Cubs to win the Lindsey Friederich Tourna-ment,” Humboldt coach Brad Piley said.

The tournament crown wasn’t secure until Humboldt erupted for four runs in the fifth and six in the sixth to break a scoreless tie.

“We played a very good team with a good pitcher (Yates Cen-ter’s Aubrey Smith), which is going to help us down the road,” Piley said.

Meanwhile, Iola High’s Fil-lies bounced back nicely from a 10-2 loss to Yates Center to open the tournament. They re-sponded with a 15-2 romp over Neodesha to claim third place.

Yates Center took advan-tage of walks in the third and fourth innings to erase an ear-ly 2-0 deficit to Iola.

While only gaining one hit, the Wildcats scored two in the third and four in the fourth to take a 6-2 lead.

Iola’s Katie Thompson doubled to lead off the second inning. Mackenzie Weseloh reached on an error. Both players later scored for Iola’s two runs.

Weseloh later delivered a

single, as did Katie Shields and Hannah Endicott.

Endicott started for the Fil-lies, giving up six hits. She struck out two.

Courtney Arell had a single for Yates Center, as did Smith. Allie Bruner had a double. Shannon Staats singled twice.

Smith struck out four Fil-lies batters.

THE FILLIES took an early 1-0 lead on Weseloh’s inside-the-park home run.

The Fillies scored two in the second, four each in the third, fourth and fifth innings.

There were several hitting stars to lead the way.

Weseloh went 2-for-4 with a single and home run. Endi-cott singled twice. Thompson had a single and three runs. Shelby Reno also delivered an inside-the-park home run, a single and two runs.

Holly Schomaker knocked in three singles with an RBI and had two runs. Shields and Halie Cleaver each scored twice. Baylea Thompson had an RBI single.

Weseloh pitched for the Fil-lies, giving up six hits with four strikeouts.

HUMBOLDT’S OPENER against Neodesha was devoid of any drama, courtesy of the Lady Cubs’ nine-run first in-ning.

The lead grew to 13-0 after two and 17-0 after three.

Kayle Riebel had three hits and six RBIs to lead the way with a double and home run. Breanna Kline stroked two doubles with three stolen bas-es and three RBIs.

Courtney Richey had a dou-ble, triple, stolen base and two RBIs. Kasey Beeman singled. Jaci Ross had a single, double and RBI. Delaney Umholtz had two stolen bases. Megan Herder had a single. Megan Hudlin had two singles, two stolen bases and two RBIs. Haley Riebel had a single and two stolen bases.

Ross pitched, giving up a hit and two walks with eight strikeouts.

“Jaci threw four good in-nings and got us off to a great start,” Piley said.

Richey was the pitching star in the title game, allowing only one hit in seven innings. She struck out 10.

“It was another great outing on the mound for Courtney,” Piley said.

Most of Humboldt’s offense came up late.

Kline had a single, double, stolen base and two RBIs. Kay-le Riebel had a single, double and two RBIs. Brook Turner had a single, double and three RBIs. Richey had two singles, a triple, three stolen bases and two RBIs. Beeman singled once. Morgan Morris had a single and triple. Herder had a single and RBI. Hudlin had three singles and an RBI.

FREDONIA — Iola High’s track teams continue to find success while at less than full strength.

The Mustangs and Fil-lies traveled to the Fredonia Relays without the services of several key contributors because of other school or church commitments or in-jury.

Even so, the Fillies man-aged to take third place as a team and the Mustangs fourth, with several medal-ists to lead the way.

Familiar faces were once again golden.

On the boys’ side, Tyler Powelson was a two-time gold medalist, winning both the 1600- and 800-meter runs by comfortable margins. He was hardly challenged in winning the 1600 at 4 min-utes, 40 seconds. His 800 time was 2:05.

Michael Wilson, mean-while, won the pole vault by clearing 11 feet, 6 inches while contending with a nasty headwind.

Abigail Taylor was a two-time winner as well. She

IHS golfers take title

OSAWATOMIE — Iola High’s Weston Hines stepped up when his golf teammates needed him the most.

Hines was able to play straight enough to take home the best score of the day for the Mustangs.

Hines carded a 79 for fifth place overall.

Not bad, considering he’s usually the fifth-best golfer for Iola on any given day.

finished well in front of her nearest competitors in winning the 3200-me-ter run in 12:48.53.

“She ran the last six laps by herself,” Coach Marv Smith said.

Powelson also was not challenged in the 1600.

“He started out with a 61-second first lap, which is not exactly the split you’re looking for,” Smith said. “But no one stayed close to him.”

The 1600 victory was a bit more tense. Taylor was in third going into the final 100 meters be-fore she out-sprinted her two main competitors to the finish line, Coach Marv Smith said.

“This was a good race,” he said. “She won by about 2 meters.”

Darci Collins affixed her name atop the shot put standings, winning with a throw of 34’8 1/2”. Breanna Stout won the pole vault, clearing 9 feet.

“This was a good win for Darci, since it was her first time to beat the two girls from Chanute we were ahead of her earlier this year,” Smith said.

Smith also praised Stout’s pole vault mark, despite the wind.

Emery Driskel took second in the 100-meter hurdles in 17.53 seconds and helped the Fillies’ 4x100-meter team take bronze at 55.08 seconds. Cassie Delich, Ashley Campbell, Driskel and Mikaela Platt teamed to take second in the 4x400-meter relay at 4:30.34.

The Fillies didn’t take throwers Jessica Oakley and Alexis Hobbs on the girls’ side and Jesse Zim-merman for the Mus-tangs.

“We may have picked up a few more points, but we wanted to take them to the Fort Scott JV meet.

“I’m not sure how many points the second-place team had (74, com-pared to Iola’s 70), but we were pretty happy with our third-place finish.”

Chanute’s girls won the team competition with 95 points.

lowed with a two-run sin-gle, giving Iola a 5-0 lead.

The fun continued in the fourth inning. Rhoads led off with a single. Latta delivered a two-out RBI single, as did Coons. Weir sin-gled, Barclay reached on an error, and Tyler Clubine’s single pushed the lead to 10-0.

Barclay singled in the sixth, Clubine reached on a fielder’s choice and the next four Mustangs reached either by walk or hit batter. Latta’s sin-gle cleared the bases.

Barclay got the start, allowing only one hit with four strikeouts. Latta came on in relief,

allowing one hit in two innings.

Vannata had an RBI triple in the fourth for the Cubs. He scored on a fielder’s choice.

For Iola, Ashmore had a single, while Latta went 2-for-4 with four RBIs. Coons went 2-for-4 with three runs driven in. Weir scored two runs with a single and double. Barclay had two singles, two runs and two RBIs. Clubine had a single. Rhoads had two hits, including a triple, and three runs scored. Hef-fern had a single, RBI and run.

The duo went 1-2 to finish sixth. Tyler Heinrich went 2-1, finishing fifth, while Bryan Mueller and Colby Works took third and received medals with a 2-1 mark. “Tyler had a bad draw and had to go up against the number one seed in the first round, which made it so finishing fifth was the best he could do,” Iola coach Lyle Kern said. “That is what he did.”

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.

ber of school records, in-cluding the team’s all-time batting average. He went on to Missouri Southern State University, where he again excelled on the field. (He’s also a member of the MSSU Sports Hall of Fame.)

Weisensee had an op-portunity to play profes-sional baseball, Percy noted, but chose another path after college — that of a family man.

It was a choice he never regretted, Price noted.

“Rich was a great team-mate,” Price said. “But more than that, he was a great brother, a great hus-band, a great father and a great grandfather.”

RICHARD THOMAS, who starred at ACC in the 1990 and 1991 seasons, recalled growing up as a rather rebellious youth, never afraid to back down from a challenge, which frequently landed him in trouble at school.

He grew emotional recalling the influence of Phil Loomis, his high school coach.

“I was a high school par-ent’s nightmare,” Thomas recalled. “I was not a good kid.”

That changed in his sophomore year, when Loomis gave him effec-tively a clean slate.

“He didn’t care what I did yesterday,” Thomas said, his voice crack-ing with emotion. “Phil taught me to pay atten-tion to the finer things, the little things. You could

make big things out of lit-tle things. A bonfire starts with one stick.”

He thanked his parents for toting him back and forth to ball games “and for getting me involved.”

His grandfather taught Thomas how to catch by tossing him potatoes in the family garden. “He also taught me how to roll your own cigarette and how to put beer in a coffee cup so Grandma wouldn’t know.”

“Another thing he intro-duced me to was baseball on the radio,” Thomas said, which reveals “the heart and soul of base-ball.”

He also carried special comments to McLean, who had no assistant coach during Thomas’ freshman season.

McLean used psycho-logical strategies to reach the team. The Red Devils began dugout meetings before games.

“That sophomore year helped us turn the page,” he said.

Thomas went on to play professionally for the Florida Marlins mi-nor league system before returning to Lawrence to play semipro ball.

MCLEAN offered sev-eral thanks during his speech.

“I’m thankful that Al-len Community College gave me the opportunity

to coach this many years. They took a gamble on me when I was 23 years old. They gave me a lot of time to prove myself. I’m also thankful Coach Master-son gave me a very good team start with.

“I’m thankful for all the alumni support in the pro-gram. The relationships, memories and stories will last a lifetime. Nothing is more fun than getting a group of alumni and hear-ing their stories.

“I’m thankful to have the opportunity coach many great athletes, many of whom are here tonight,” he said.

“I’m thankful to make it to the World Series twice,” he said. “It’s really hard to get there.”

He also offered special thanks to his wife, Caro-lyn. “Baseball is hard on a marriage. It takes a special relationship and a special woman.”

“Now for some things I’ve learned, and I’ve learned a thousand things,” he continued.

“It’s very hard to get to the top, but it’s even hard-er to stay there,” he said. “Hard work, dedication and a positive attitude will eventually pay off. To have a great team you have to have good leader-ship, talent, you have to work hard, you have to stay healthy and you have to have a little bit of luck at the right time.

“The fourth thing I’ve learned is I don’t like los-ing at all. I hate it with a passion.”

McLean noted the irony of his induction Saturday, pointing out his team’s struggles this year, “per-haps the toughest year we’ve ever had at Allen.”

“Even though we’ve had trouble winning games, I’m proud of these young men, who play hard every day,” McLean said. “I’ve seen a lot of them get better. None of them have given up.”

COLLEGE president and one-time baseball coach John Masterson in-troduced Haynes.

“I met Joe Haynes in a graduate class at Emporia State,” Masterson said. “Joe was the biggest red-neck I’d ever met in my life. And I liked him im-mediately.”

Haynes grew up in southwest Missouri. Af-ter high school, he served in the military four years before deciding on a teach-ing career.

Haynes’ teams enjoyed moderate success in his three years at the helm.

“I don’t know exactly how it happened, but I’m still kind of amazed at how I arrived at Allen, and proceeded to spend the next 40 years of my life here.”

Allen Community College’s softball team rode behind the pitch-ing of Audra Nelson and hitting of Paige Rothwell to sweep past St. Louis Community College Saturday.

Allen’s 4-1 and 7-3 wins give the Red Dev-ils a four-game winning streak as the Region VI, Division II playoffs near.

The Red Devils (9-28 overall and 7-23 in Region VI action) are scheduled to host Otta-wa’s junior varsity in a doubleheader Wednes-day before hitting the road for the first round of regionals next week-end. Their playoff op-ponent has not been an-nounced.

With performances like Saturday’s Allen may make some noise in the postseason.

Nelson pitched a com-plete game, two-hitter in the opener, allowing only an RBI ground out in the third inning that gave St. Louis a 1-0 lead.

“I was really hap-py with how Audra pitched,” ACC coach Ja-mie Amerine said. “She was efficient with her pitches, and our defense did a good job. And of course, Paige Rothwell really was the star of the day offensively.”

The Red Devil re-sponse was immediate. Rothwell smashed an RBI double to tie the score in the bottom of

the third, then scored the go-ahead run on Kaitlin Rash’s one-out single.

Nelson pitched around trouble in the fourth, allowing two runners to reach with two out.

But Nelson also end-ed the rally by snar-ing Katie Harper’s line drive for the third out.

Maecy Charleston and Taylor Easum reached on St. Louis er-rors to open the sixth. They scored on Kaylee Lucas’ two-run single.

Nelson walked five and struck out two to claim the win.

Harper’s pitching

line for St. Louis also was one to behold. She threw only 31 pitches — an astonishing 27 for strikes — in her six in-nings of work.

NELSON wasn’t quite as sharp in the second game — St. Louis erupt-ed for two runs on four hits in the first inning alone — but Rothwell was there to pick up the slack.

Rothwell smacked a double to lead off the bottom of the first and scored on Mary Reilly’s ground ball.

Rash blasted a lead-off home run in the bot-tom of the second to tie

the score before Roth-well’s leadoff double in the third led to Easum’s sacrifice fly to give Al-len the lead for good. Reilly walked and Rash blasted a drive to out-field that the St. Louis center fielder misplayed for an error, allowing Reilly to score. Bailey Burnett stroked an RBI single to give the Red Devils a 5-2 lead.

The Archers closed the gap to 5-3 in the top of the fourth before Charleston led off the bottom of the inning with a triple. She scored on Norris’ single.

Rothwell capped her 4-for-4 performance — she also had two hits in the opener — with a two-out home run in the bottom of the sixth. She wound up a combined 6-for-8 with two doubles, a home run, four runs and two RBIs.

Rash had a combined three hits, including a home run. Charleston had two hits, including a triple. Norris singled twice. Easum, Lauren Poertner and Lucas had singles.

Nelson gave up nine hits in her five innings of work with a strike-out. Rash came on in re-lief, allowing one hit in two innings.

The victories were even more special, Am-erine said, because they took place on Sopho-more Day. Ten Red Dev-ils were honored during postgame ceremonies.

Scoring was at a pre-mium for Allen Commu-nity College’s baseball team over the weekend.

The Red Devils only scored on one run in their doubleheader fi-nale Sunday, but it was enough to salvage the final game of the four-game series, 1-0, over visiting Neosho County.

The Panthers opened Sunday’s play with a 13-3 win after sweeping a doubleheader Satur-day, 6-0 and 9-3.

Drew Walden singled to lead off the bottom of the fifth. He scored on Troy Willoughby’s sac-rifice fly.

Nate Arnold made that run stand up, al-lowing only three hits in his complete game win. He walked two and struck out nine.

Walden and Garrett Rasch each had singles for Allen. Jerrik Sigg, meanwhile, went 2-for-3.

Neosho County broke open a 3-1 lead with five runs in the fourth and fifth innings of Sun-day’s opener.

Tim Lewis doubled to lead off the bottom of the second for Allen. Trey Francis drove him in with a ground ball.

Sigg singled to lead off the fourth. Lewis drove him in with an RBI dou-ble. Francis singled to

drive in Lewis for the third run of the game.

Sigg went 2-for-3 with a double. Lewis went 2-for-2 with two doubles. Francis and Cody Am-erine had singles.

Seth Jones started, giving up seven hits in four innings. Jake Thompson allowed three hits and three walks in his inning of relief.

ALLEN WAS limited to four hits in Saturday’s 6-0 loss. Neosho County broke through against Tanner Lee with three runs in the fourth and two in the fifth.

Lewis had two sin-gles. Willoughby and Arnold had singles.

Lee allowed just three hits but walked six with seven strike-

outs. He threw 128 pitches. Conor Burns pitched a perfect inning of relief.

Neosho County erupted for four runs in the fourth, countered by two by Allen in the bot-tom of the inning.

A Lewis single drove in Arnold. Francis fol-lowed two batters later with an RBI single.

Arnold’s ground ball drove in Amerine in the fifth. Amerine opened the inning with a dou-ble.

Francis had two hits, while Willoughby, Sigg, Lewis and Cole Slusser singled. Amerine had a

double.Geoffrey Borque gave

up six hits in five in-nings with two walks and three strikeouts. Lucas Westervelt gave up three hits in two in-nings of relief.

Allen hosts Kansas Wesleyan Tuesday be-fore traveling to Fort Scott Saturday and Sun-day to wrap up the regu-lar season.

Allen drops 3 of 4 to Panthers

Register/Richard LukenAllen Community College’s Nate Arnold tags out a Neosho County runner at home plate Satur-day.

Haynes said his adviser at Emporia State told him about Allen.

It was during his inter-view at ACC that the con-versation turned to base-ball. He was asked if he enjoyed baseball.

He did.He was asked if he

played before.He had.He was asked if he’d con-

sider coaching with a $300 addition to the contract.

“Some still might think I was overpaid,” he joked.

He recalled talking with his wife after the first day at his new school.

“I told my wife the col-lege was great, but I wasn’t sure what I had gotten my-self into,” he said. “The field had no back stop, no fences, no dugouts, no place to sit and the field was full of rocks. All of our equipment was in a Navy sea bag, and all the players had really long hair.”

The players were will-ing to accept a coach with no experience, Haynes said. “Together, we were pretty successful.”

Finally, Haynes thanked his fellow teachers at the college, many of whom volunteered to help build the backstop, dugouts and stands, which remain to-day.

WALES AND RUSH were mainstays on Allen’s 1983 team, which took third in the NJCAA World Series, “and I still believe we were the best team there, by far,” Wales said.

Wales grew up in Ohio, dubbed “the Mouth from Portsmouth,” known for his prodigious home run blasts. He was put in con-tact with McLean in 1981, “although for some rea-son, he thought I was a left-handed pitcher before

we met,” Wales recalled.Wales set a number of

hitting records his fresh-man campaign, then proceeded to break those marks his sophomore year. He still holds Allen’s all-time home run record.

Wales also claimed one of his hardest hits may have cost the Red Devils the World Series in 1983. Late in one game, his line drive struck the oppos-ing pitcher in the head, bounced back over to the third base side and into the stands.

“I thought I killed him,” Wales recalled.

The pitcher recovered — even returned to the ball field the next day — but his replacement that night turned out to be a crackerjack pitcher him-self.

“He shut us down the rest of the game,” Wales recalled, somewhat re-morsefully.

Rush grew up in Law-rence, and used his blaz-ing speed to set the tables for the Allen offense.

He let Saturday’s audi-ence in on a secret.

Much of his success was driven by fear of fail-ure.

“I was always afraid of letting my teammates down,” he said.

Saturday’s induction was a return trip for both Wales and Rush, who also were inducted en masse with their 1983 teammates last year.

THE PURPOSE of the festivities like Saturday’s was to offer more than a chance to reminisce, noted Tom Price, a former player and organizer of Saturday’s banquet.

“We need to stay in touch with our team-mates, with each other, and with the school,” Price said.
