BREAKING TRAIL
By STEVEN [email protected]
Dave Fontaine’s tractor backs up against the brush, pulling railroad ties from the soil and dragging them onto a nicely grated gravel pathway — the be-ginnings of a recreational trail that will connect Iola and Hum-boldt.
The trail, which is tentatively named the “South Wind Trail,” will extend where the Prairie Spirit Trail ends at Riverside Park in Iola, and continue south for almost seven miles to end in Humboldt.
Dave Fontaine, a local cyclist, and multiple other volunteers, including Jane and Lindsey Tweedy, have been volunteering their time since the first week in June to build the trail. Fontaine was involved in the construction of the Prairie Spirit Trail, and he said its success has been a motivator for the addition. They were hard at work on Thursday afternoon, pulling old railroad ties from the underbrush that will be used as bollards to block traffic from the points where the trail crosses the road.
The Sunflower Foundation is funding the project through a $25,000 grant acquired by Thrive Allen County, along with anoth-er $25,000 grant from the Health-care Foundation of Greater Kan-sas City — which was acquired by Allen County.
“We have our work cut out for us, we still have a lot to do,” Fon-taine said. He sported his Oakley cycling sunglasses along with his work attire, hinting that he is always a cyclist at heart.
The volunteers, there are ap-proximately eight of them, have contributed nearly 560 man-hours of work with only about
$2,500 of expenses. Don Burns, a Thrive board
member and South Wind Trail volunteer, said when plans start-ed for the trail, Dave and Lisa Fontaine were two of the first people he went to.
“I went to people I knew that were avid bike riders, and we have come up with a strong group of people,” Burns said.
He said the counties of Neo-sho, Bourbon and Allen form the “South Wind” region, which is where volunteer Jay Kretzmeier got the idea for the name. The name is tentative due to the fact that it requires approval from the Sunflower Rail Trail Conser-vancy and Allen County.
Lindsey Tweedy said the group started by driving through the property on 4-wheelers, scouting out the best area to start the con-struction of the trail.
Fontaine said at the begin-ning, there wasn’t enough space to even drive the ATV’s they had to hold branches back and duck underneath them to get through. However, he said it has been worth the work to utilize the area.
“The (Prairie Spirit) trail is pretty,” Fontaine said. “But this trail may be the prettiest six or seven miles in the whole area, mainly because it is covered.”

Iola-Humboldt rail trail takes form
Bullying sore spot for Iola High students Cleaver trial set
By ALLISON [email protected]
Wednesday night Southeast Kansas (SEK) Regional Planning Commission board members dis-cussed “what has happened and the future challenges we face,” interim director Dennis Arnold said.
The meeting, held at Neosho County Community College, was focused on the affect of new state and federal funding positions.
The SEK commission’s focus is to improve the quality of life in southeast Kansas by providing tools to create and retain jobs and increase the services available within a community.
The commission offers profes-sional development and assists in the administration of local pro-
grams and projects.“The way the agency makes
money is through the fees we get to administer grants,” Arnold said.
The main concern for the com-mission is the lack of grant avail-ability. The organization has 35 percent fewer grants than in previous years, making it histori-cally low.
The organization has been ex-isting on the remnants of a grant from 2009. The grant cycle runs every three or four years.
Cutbacks starting hitting the grant funding in 2010.
“We are looking for other rev-enue streams,” Arnold said. “We have to see how much we get next year. Fifteen applied this year and usually we get 60 percent so if that does happen then we will have eight (grants to adminis-

What started as an informa-tive presentation turned into an emotional sore spot for Iola High juniors and seniors.
Thursday three seniors, Kayla Knavel, Paiton True and Chloe Friederich, gave a presentation on the awareness of bullying as a project for their Career and Com-munity Connections and Early Childhood Development classes with Krystal Henderson.
The girls knew it would be a subject some wouldn’t take seri-ously and went into the presenta-tion prepared.
“We know it is hard to listen about (bullying) from people who are only a year older than you,”
Combs said. “But if you aren’t going to take this seriously get up and get out.”
Despite the warning there were still a few kids laughing and heckling.
The girls used two national ex-amples of bullying.
The first, a girl from Michigan, Whitney Kropp, was nominated as homecoming queen as a prank from her peers.
She was able to turn the tables and with the support of her fam-ily, friends and community mem-bers she received a makeover and showed up to the homecom-ing game prideful.
The next story didn’t end as well.
Amanda Todd was a young
high school student who made the mistake of showing her breast on camera once. An anon-ymous person got their hands on the picture and posted it on Face-book.
After years of tormenting, changing schools and being beat up, she decided to end her life.
She tried drinking bleach and overdosing on pills. Each time her parents rushed her to the emergency room and saved her life.
One day her parents were too late. They walked into her room to find their daughter dead. She had hung herself.

SEK regional panning board plans for future
Garrett Cleaver, 27, Colony, whose confrontation with a po-lice officer led to a manhunt and his subsequent arrest more than a year ago, will be sentenced for his crimes Dec. 17.
Cleaver pleaded guilty Nov. 28 in Allen County District Court to two counts of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer and one count of criminal possession of a firearm.
In exchange for the guilty pleas, other charges of fleeing or eluding a police officer, criminal damage to property and reckless driving were dismissed.
CLEAVER’S troubles in Allen County began the afternoon of
Nov. 21, 2011, when a Humboldt officer stopped a car on Bridge Street when he noticed the occu-pants weren’t wearing seatbelts. Melissa Elder, 31, was driving the car.
After the car stopped, Cleaver bolted, taking with him an as-sault rifle. The officer gave chase on foot and in a nearby alley was confronted by Cleaver, who then ran back to the car — Elder was standing outside — jumped in and sped away.
Other officers joined the chase, which wove its way 8 miles to northeast of Humboldt, where Cleaver crashed the car near the intersection of Iowa Road and
Thief caught through Facebook
Allen County Sheriff Tom Wil-liams reported that a bow, quiver and arrow rest had been stolen from West Side Bait Shop on Sat-urday afternoon during business hours.
Williams said the items, valued at approximately $1,300, were re-ported stolen by owner Leonard Barnett. After an investigation, it was reported to officers that a photo of the bow had been posted on a Facebook page belonging the suspect — whom Barnett named as C.J. Spiller. The officers re-sponded to Spiller’s residence, where the stolen bow was discov-

that problem doesn’t exist in the Iola community, but an informal poll conducted at Iola High says it is.
Sixty-six percent of the school population said they have been bullied. Fifty-two percent of the school popu-lation said they have bul-lied someone. Eighty-nine percent said they would stand up for someone and 67 percent said they would report bullying if they saw it.
Fifty-five percent of the Iola High student body said they believe bullying has become a problem at their school.
“Bullying is a problem in this school, whether you want to admit it or not,” Combs said.
“What’s it going to take for bullying in our school to stop,” Friederich added. “Is it going to take someone killing themselves? How would that make you feel?”
By the end of the presen-
tation three students had been asked to leave and the sound of sniffling noses filled the auditorium.
“We care. We might not get along with everyone, we don’t always see eye to eye, and after all we are human.” Combs said. “But if you need help we are here.”
Before the students left the seminar they were asked to sign a pledge to end bullying.

Tom Williams said local of-ficers learned that Cleaver might be in the Springfield, Mo., area. Missouri offi-cers arrested him at a mo-tel near Springfield Dec. 5, 2011.
Cleaver also faces man-slaughter charges related to a fatal traffic accident in Neosho County in 2009. It wasn’t immediately clear if those charges had been resolved.
A call to the Kansas At-torney General’s office in Topeka, which is handling the Neosho County case, was not returned Friday.

Each of the programs are focused on improv-ing the quality of life and keep small towns thriving in southeast Kansas, with minimal fees.
Businesses are eligible to hire a consulting team

ered.Williams said Spiller
conceded to the crime, un-der consideration of the overwhelming evidence — including the photos of Spiller at his home and the bow with its quiver resting on his couch.
Barnett said he knew when the bow had been stolen, but just needed the evidence from a “hot tip” to confirm the tip.
Williams said it is some-times rare to have stolen items recovered so quickly. He attributed the expedited recovery to the evidence gathered off of Facebook.
He said he hopes to see the trail finished by the time spring comes, espe-cially if the weather holds its fair temperatures. He said the trail will allow access to the public at no charge.
Both of the Tweedys and Fontaine agreed that the construction would not have been possible if it weren’t for the support from the community. Joe Works, a Humboldt resi-dent and owner of B&W Trailer Hitches, lended the use of a side cutter and tractors for the construc-tion process. Before that point, Fontaine said his volunteers had cleared the first three miles by hand with chainsaws.
Jane said she thinks it is important to use the rail trail, to help carry on the historical legacy of the railroad in Allen County.
“It’s really important to protect the historical integrity of the railroad,” Jane said. “That’s why we are using the old railroad ties for bollards.”
Fontaine said he was saddened to see the old railroad torn out, and he hopes that the rail trail will allow the railroad to
be easily reconstructed in the future if the possibility arises.
Both Lindsey and Jane have lived in Austin, Texas, for 40 years. Lindsey said he grew up in Allen Coun-ty, but moved to Texas to raise a family and be near his brother. The Tweedys moved back to Allen Coun-ty to take care of Lindsey’s mother, who passed away last year.
He said it has been en-couraging to see an area flourish in hard times - and the South Wind trail is an example of a town thriving in its community.
Burns said he believes the trail will add another important amenity to Al-len County. According to Kansas Parks, Wildlife and Tourism, 41,850 people have used the Prairie Spir-it Trail from January to September. Burns said he hopes to see a high usage from people using the ex-isting trail, which should positively impact business-es in the area.
He said the Prairie Spir-it trail received some op-position in the beginning, due to concerns regard-ing littering, trespassing and criminal mischief — which seemed to have
been unwarranted. The volunteers have found the success of the trail useful in meetings with the land-owners bordering the new trail. The county sent let-ters to landowners affected by the construction, and Burns said “there hasn’t been much trouble at all.”
Overall, Burns said the construction of the South Wind Trail has been a col-laboration of three entities — the volunteers, conser-vancy and Allen county.
All of the volunteers said that pathways such as the South Wind Trail and the Prairie Spirit Trail are important for cyclists’ safety as well. Fontaine said he and his wife have cycled on the public road-ways before, and they can be very dangerous. He said that fact has given him some personal motivation for constructing the trail as well.
“We have taken a lot of pride in the trail, I still can’t believe how much we
have done.”Burns said while the
construction has been a lot of hard work, it wouldn’t have been possible if the volunteers didn’t enjoy what they have been doing.
“To be honest, we’ve really had fun doing it,” Burns said. “We’re anx-ious to use the finished product.”
The trail is completely cleared from Iola to Hum-boldt, with much of the pathway grated. Currently, the volunteers are working to “beautify” the trail. Fon-taine said the next step is to begin installing the bol-lards on the crossing, add signage and posted warn-ings.
All three volunteers agreed that the construc-tion has shown the power of community and volun-teerism.
“It just shows that with a little willpower, focus and a lot of poison ivy - you can do a lot,” Fontaine said.

Members of Jeffer-son Elementary School’s staff are raising money to help Raef Casner and his mother, Lea, a single mom and paraprofessional at the school.
Raef, a fifth-grader at the school, was diagnosed with liver cancer earlier this year and has been out of school because of surgery and weekly treat-ments, which has created an obvious financial hard-ship for the family.
A fundraiser is in the works. Tickets are being sold for the chance to win one of 12 different gift
baskets, all filled with in-teresting and intriguing things. Two have K-State and KU themes, one is loaded with chocolate, another is designed for a couple’s “date night.”
Tickets are available for $1 apiece or six for $5, and are available from Stephanie Bycroft at the Jefferson office and also will be on sale at Iola High basketball games.
A drawing for baskets will be during halftime of the Iola High game here Dec. 18. A chili feed also is planned that from 4:30 to 8.

Santa will set up a toy shop Dec. 20-24 on Jefferson where Audacious Boutique used to be located.
All children in the com-munity who want a toy can go to the shop and visit with Santa and pick up a toy.
Tracy Keagle and her husband, William, who came up with the idea, are accepting toy donations.
Parents cleaning out
their kids’ gently used toys and are looking to get rid of them they can call Tracy at (620) 228-7456. Toys also can be dropped off at the Ke-agle residence at 207 S. Elm St. or at Annie’s Attic.
The shop will be tempo-rarily decorated like an old-time Christmas toy shop. Cookies and hot chocolate will be served.
Santa’s Toy Shop is open and free to the public.

This season’s front page vis-its with Iola retail merchants are the 2012 version of “be lo-cal, buy local— a smart way to live. Each one of the stories gives Register readers shop-ping tips for Christmas and for all of the rest of the days in the year. Iola’s stores have an amazing variety of high qual-ity merchandise for sale.
But the economist in me wants to make a stronger pitch for the benefits gained from dollars spent in Iola.
When you spend $100 here at home — and, my, what a mod-est holiday budget that would be — about 75 percent of it stays in town. National studies show that every dollar spent lo-cally turns over four times in the community. Spend a hun-dred dollars in Iola and it be-comes a $400 boost right here. Spend $100 out of town and the muliplying takes place there.
And, for exactly the same reason, Humboldt shoppers should shop Humboldt and the good people of Moran should spend dollars there, start-ing, perhaps, with top drawer meats and other good things to eat at Moran Locker.
In today’s computer-domi-nated world, there will be those who never leave their homes to do their shopping. The Inter-net offers enticing purchases. All those Christmas catalogs invite us to buy over the phone or the ‘net. All it takes is a cred-it card and a few clicks on the keyboard.
But the temptation should prompt second thoughts. Add the cost of shipping first and see if the purchase is still that inviting. Then remember how disappointed you were when the last shipment arrived and the contents were not at all what you expected. Those en-trancing color photos often are the most attractive part of the merchandise offered.
Maybe the best reason to keep that credit card in the wallet is that on-line shopping is so quick and easy that it’s easy to over-do. Credit card balances carry a hefty interest rate. Yield to the temptation and those monthly additions to what was paid for stuff can become overwhelming.
Be local and buy local means you have a chance to look care-fully before you buy — to ac-tually hold the item in your hand, feel the fabric, switch the gadget on and see if it works, before you buy. Be local, buy lo-cal and you will become aware of the real bargains you can find right here in Iola.
Here’s another thought: How many people does Amazon em-ploy locally? Zero. Iola workers pay taxes and because they do, they make it easier for the rest of the community to pay the cost of running the city with its utility systems, of keeping the streets in good shape, sup-port the Bowlus Fine Arts Cen-ter, keep the public schools and Allen Community College high quality to help Iola’s young-sters meet their potential. The more taxpayers there are, the less each taxpayer must pay.
But perhaps the very best reason of all to Be Local, Buy Local is to invest in the future of the community. The more support that Iolans give to Io-la’s merchants, the more cer-tain the future of those mer-chants becomes. Stores that aren’t patronized must close their doors. Those supported by the community expand their lines of merchanise, remodel to make their businesses more attractive and hire more clerks so they are able to offer better service.
Be Local. Buy Local. Build Iola. Make it a better place for you and your family to live.
Happy shopping.
WASHINGTON — Speaker John Boehner emerged from his weekly huddle with House Repub-licans on Wednesday morning to take his place behind a mahogany lectern in front of a brown back-drop. The dark tones provided ideal camouflage for the deeply tanned speaker — as though he were trying to vanish into the background.
Who could blame him? Right now, he is hoping to lead
his fractious GOP to an orderly surrender. The question is no longer whether Republicans will give on taxes; they already have. All that remains to be negotiated is how they will increase taxes, and whether they will do it before or after the government reaches the “fiscal cliff.”
“I believe that it’s appropri-ate to put revenues on the table,” Boehner told reporters. “Now, the revenues we’re putting on the table are going to come from — guess who? — the rich.”
Socialist! Redistributionist! Spreader of wealth!
One of Boehner’s lieutenants, Pete Roskam of Illinois, stepped to the microphones, essentially pleading for the president to show mercy. “President Obama has an unbelievable opportunity to be a transformational president — that is, to bring the country to-gether,” he said. “Or he can dis-solve into zero-sum-game politics, where he wins and other people lose.”
Those “other people” would be the House Republicans, because it is Obama who seems to be hold-ing all the cards right now. A poll by the Pew Research Center found that 53 percent of Americans would blame Republicans for sending the nation off the cliff and only 27 percent would blame Obama. And Republicans didn’t
help their cause by ending their workweek on Wednesday and go-ing home.
Earlier in the week, Boehner offered Obama an $800 billion tax increase with the blessing of Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, the Republicans’ vice presidential nominee this year, and other House leaders. The speaker is trying to hold out for making those hikes come from lower deductions rather than higher rates, but the White House is feeling so confident that it dis-missed Boehner’s offer out of hand. Obama Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer told Peter Baker of The New York Times that Obama “won’t sign a deal that doesn’t have higher rates for the wealthy. Until they cross that bridge, nothing else is relevant.”
Republicans are looking for face-saving ways to retreat, such as allowing a tax increase to pass the House by voting “present” in-stead of “no.” Jeb Hensarling of Texas, the outgoing chairman of the House GOP conference, ac-knowledged Wednesday on CNN that “the president is going to get his revenue one way or the other.”
As they prepare to accommo-date Obama, Republican lead-ers have begun to crack down on hard-liners in their ranks who routinely defy compromise. On Monday, two dissidents were re-moved from the House Financial Services Committee and two from
the Budget Committee. Outside their meeting in the
Capitol basement Wednesday morning, House Republicans were coming to grips with the in-evitability of the tax increase.
“We’re not looking at dooms-day,” the GOP whip, Kevin Mc-Carthy of California, assured CNN’s Dana Bash.
Ryan, who signed off on the hike, left the session with a wave. “I’m not doing press,” he said. “I’m just saying ‘hi.’”
Boehner emerged 17 minutes late and five minutes after his aides gave the camera crews a two-minute warning. “We made a good-faith offer,” he began, prom-ising that “our targets and frame-works are things that we can all agree on.”
A flustered McCarthy added his perspective. “The president now has to engage,” he said. “I think the sex” — he caught himself — “the next 72 hours are critical.”
A few on the leadership team repeated the old platitudes about taxes. “An obsession to raise taxes is not going to solve the problem,” said Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia. Cathy McMorris Rod-gers of Washington state sounded the refrain that “Washington does not have a revenue problem.”
But the bromides couldn’t conceal the fact that House GOP leaders, with little dissent from the rank and file, had already ac-quiesced on some form of a tax increase. “House Republicans are prepared to get to yes,” Roskam said. “House Republicans are not prepared to get to foolish, and it is foolish to reject President Obama’s own self-described ar-chitecture of $3 in spending cuts for every dollar in new revenue.”
Coming from a bunch that liked to say they wouldn’t allow a dol-lar of new revenue even if it came
Be local, buy localand invest in Iola Kaitlyn Smutz is an honest and
caring young girl. No one is hap-pier than Alex Gumfory, a senior at Iola High.
Last month during a school
trip to Wichita, Gumfory dropped her wallet, unbeknown to her, on the bus. Later, she noticed it was missing and frantically searched through her room at home, and anywhere else she thought it might be.
No luck.Meanwhile, the next morning
Smutz, a fourth-grader at Jeffer-son Elementary, boarded the bus for a journey to Wichita, where she and other members of the school’s drumming circle, under tutelage of Karen Jesseph, were to perform at a Kansas Depart-ment of Education event.
Along the way, when the bus driver applied its brakes, the wal-let slid out from under Kaitlyn’s seat and hit her foot. Without hesitation, she handed the wallet to Jesseph, who found it belonged to Gumfory, who happens to be her cousin and daughter of Kelly Spears, of Diamond Daisy flower shop in downtown Iola.
When the group got home, Jesseph carried the wallet to the flower shop, which was met with tears of appreciation from Spears and grandmother Jackie Smith.
All realized that if someone with less integrity had found the wallet, Gumfory could have had a rough go. Not only did it con-tain her driver’s license, but also debit and credit cards and some cash.
Kaitlyn, second oldest of eight children of Justin and Sara Smutz, Gas, never had any
xthoughts about doing any but the right thing, including finding the wallet’s owner as quickly as pos-sible. She didn’t expect anything for being honest and upright, but did receive a stuffed animal and balloons from Gumfory and, when he heard the story, a coveted challenge coin from Allen County Sheriff Tom Williams.
The story also brought acco-lades — and a few tears — from Kaitlyn’s bus driver, Steffen Centlivre, when she arrived for a
ride home from school after re-ceiving Gumfory’s gift. Balloons aren’t allowed on buses, but Centlivre quickly gave his OK when he learned why Kaitlyn had them in tow.
KAITLYN’S story shouldn’t be considered an anomaly. Although some fall off society’s wagon, the lion’s share of today’s kids are just like her, eager and willing to do the right thing anytime the op-portunity presents itself.

The WashingtonPost
By JOAN LOWYAssociated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Many motorists don’t know it, but it’s likely that every time they get behind the wheel, there’s a snitch along for the ride.
In the next few days, the Na-tional Highway Traffic Safety Administration is expected to propose long-delayed regula-tions requiring auto manufac-turers to include event data recorders — better known as “black boxes” — in all new cars and light trucks. But the agency is behind the curve. Automak-ers have been quietly tucking the devices, which automatical-ly record the actions of drivers and the responses of their ve-hicles in a continuous informa-tion loop, into most new cars for years.
When a car is involved in a crash or when its airbags de-ploy, inputs from the vehicle’s sensors during the 5 to 10 sec-onds before impact are auto-matically preserved. That’s usu-ally enough to record things like how fast the car was traveling and whether the driver applied the brake, was steering errati-cally or had a seat belt on.
The idea is to gather infor-mation that can help investi-gators determine the cause of accidents and lead to safer ve-hicles. But privacy advocates say government regulators and automakers are spreading an in-trusive technology without first putting in place policies to pre-vent misuse of the information collected.
Data collected by the record-ers is increasingly showing up in lawsuits, criminal cases and high-profile accidents. Massa-chusetts Lt. Gov. Timothy Mur-ray initially said that he wasn’t speeding and that he was wear-ing his seat belt when he crashed a government-owned car last year. But the Ford Crown Victo-ria’s data recorder told a differ-ent story: It showed the car was traveling more than 100 mph and Murray wasn’t belted in.
In 2007, then-New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine was seriously in-jured in the crash of an SUV
driven by a state trooper. Cor-zine was a passenger. The SUV’s recorder showed the vehicle was traveling 91 mph on a park-way where the speed limit was 65 mph, and Corzine didn’t have his seat belt on.
There’s no opt-out. It’s ex-tremely difficult for car own-ers to disable the recorders. Although some vehicle models have had recorders since the early 1990s, a federal require-ment that automakers disclose their existence in owner’s man-uals didn’t go into effect until three months ago.
The traffic safety administra-tion is also considering expand-ing the data requirement to in-clude as many as 30 additional types of data such as whether the vehicle’s electronic stability con-trol was engaged, the driver’s seat position or whether the front-seat passenger was belted in.
Despite privacy complaints, the traffic safety administra-tion so far hasn’t put any limits on how the information can be used. About a dozen states have some law regarding data record-ers, but the rest do not.
“Right now we’re in an en-vironment where there are no rules, there are no limits, there are no consequences and there is no transparency,” said Lillie Coney, associate director of the Electronic Privacy Informa-tion Center, a privacy advocacy group. “Most people who are operating a motor vehicle have no idea this technology is inte-grated into their vehicle.”
‘Black boxes’ proposed for cars
The idea is to gather in-formation that can help in-vestigators determine the cause of accidents and lead to safer vehicles. But privacy advocates say gov-ernment regulators and au-tomakers are spreading an intrusive technology without first putting in place policies to prevent misuse of the in-formation collected.

BURLINGTON – Iola High Fil-lies head coach Becky Carlson sees flashes of improvement with her young basketball squad.
“We just need some consisten-cy,” she said.
On Friday, the Fillies battled toe-to-toe against Anderson Coun-ty in the third and final round of the Burlington Preseason Tour-nament.
The score stood in Anderson County’s favor, 22-19, when the Lady Bulldogs rang up seven straight points down the stretch.
Iola’s Lexy Long drained a 3-pointer in the final minute, but the Fillies could get no closer in a 29-22 loss.
The defeat drops Iola to 0-4 on the season and 0-3 in the Burling-ton tournament.
Despite the loss, Carlson left the Burlington Middle School gymnasium encouraged.
“We were more active on de-fense than we have been,” Carlson said, “and our 1-3-1 zone worked well.”
Carlson also lauded the work of bench players Addie Haar, Rea-gan Ford and Long.
“Reagan stepped up for us and did a good job,” Carlson said. “Lexie gave us a spark and Addie did a good job of getting around inside and drawing fouls.”
Both squad struggled on of-fense in the early going.
Labby Shay’s putback with 6:51
left in the first quarter was the only field goal either squad could muster in the game’s first 9½ minutes.
Anderson County was without
a field goal until Amanda Moody drained a short jumper early in the second quarter. The basket triggered a six-point run, giving Anderson County an 8-3 lead.

BURLINGTON — Stop us if you’ve heard this before.
On Friday, the Iola High Mus-tangs struggled mightily in the early going, the third such occur-rence in four games in the young 2012-13 season.
Iola was sluggish on offense and defense as Chanute High blasted its way to a 19-4 lead.
“I was happy with how we put ourselves in position to come back, but it’s hard to come all the way back from 15 down,” Mus-tang head coach Bill Peeper said. “We’re just killing ourselves by coming out not ready to play.”
Iola got no closer than four points down the stretch in a 50-42 defeat.
The loss comes in the fifth-place contest of Burlington’s pre-season tournament. Iola went 1-2 in tournament play and stands at 1-3 overall.
“I don’t know how it happens,” Peeper said. “I thought we fixed this last time out (in a win over Louisburg.) Tonight was a step backward for us.”
Iola held a 2-0 lead before Cha-nute’s Caleb Dietsch drained a 3-pointer for the Blue Comets to trigger a 10-0 spurt. The Mus-tangs’ Tyler Powelson stopped the run with an inside basket. Chanute responded with another nine-point flurry in the final 1:41 of the period.
Iola’s Tyler McIntosh scored to start the second quarter, followed
in short order by two Powelson buckets to close the gap to 19-10.
The lead was 21-10 when Pow-elson scored again, followed by a field goal by Andrew Kauth to cut the gap to seven.
But the momentum was snuffed when Dietsch hit from 3-point range at the halftime buzzer to push the Chanute lead back into

HUMBOLDT – Athough the basket seemingly had an invisi-ble lid preventing outside jump-ers, free throws and occasional layups from dropping, Thurs-day’s matchup between two of the area’s most highly regarded basketball teams lived up to its billing, and then some.
It wasn’t until Crest High’s Brock Ellis’ desperation 3-point-er from near midcourt came tantalizingly close to falling –
the shot had the right distance, but was a tad to the left – that Humboldt High came away with a 43-40 win over the Lancers.
The victory came in the sec-ond round of Humboldt’s pre-season tournament.

Yates Center High’s boys doubled-up on wins for Thurs-day and Friday in their pre-season tournament at home, topping Altoona-Midway first, then Cherryvale.
For Thursday’s victory, the Wildcats came out strong in the second half after holding a close match in the first, edging out the 66-49 win.
The Wildcats 35-33 over the Jets at halftime. They came out with a 21-11 third quarter spurt to seize control.
Cameron Brown led the way with 24 point performance, along with Caleb DeNoon with 18.
In Friday night’s victory for Yates Center High over Cher-ryvale, the conclusion came down to the wire, ending in a 73-72 nail-biting finish.
The first quarter started close and would set the tone for the entire game.
The Chargers led 20-19 after one quarter before Yates Cen-ter took the upper hand at half-time, 44-41.
HUMBOLDT — While both teams’ defenses had their mo-ments Thursday evening, Hum-boldt High’s defense was particu-larly stifling from start to finish.
“Our defense would stop them on 10 straight possessions, then we’d give up points on 10 straight possessions,” Crest High Lady Lancers coach Ben Vaughn said.
The Humboldt girls pushed to-gether several key runs to grab their first win of the season, 55-30.
The victory came in the second round of Humboldt’s preseason tournament.
Both teams also played Friday, but results were not immediately available by press time.
“I was very proud of our de-fense,” Lady Cub head coach Sherri Nelson said. “We got the players where they needed to be.”
Whitney Strack played the piv-
otal role in a second-quarter flur-ry that turned a 10-8 lead into a 25-16 advantage at halftime. Strack provided several steals and drives to the basket that resulted in sev-eral free throw attempts.
When Strack wasn’t making noise, Sheri Middleton was at times dominating the middle by swatting away field goal attempts inside or altering passes across the lane. Middleton scored four in the quarter. Megan Hudlin drained a pivotal 3-pointer as well.

Iola Middle School’s teams came up short on the scoreboard but showed plenty of hustle and ef-fort in their home contests Thursday against Pitts-burg.
The eighth-graders were even with Pittsburg “for all but about 45 seconds in the second quarter,” Ponies coach Marty Taylor said.
That discrepancy was enough for Pittsburg to take a small lead, maintain-ing that advantage the rest of the game in a 28-21 vic-tory.
Iola led 10-8 after one quarter before Pittsburg crept in front 16-14 at half-time. The Purple Dragons pushed their lead to 23-17 after three quarters.
Toni Macha led Iola with eight points and four re-bounds, followed by Lexi Heslop with seven points and five rebounds. Sydney Wade had six points and two boards.
“I just can’t say enough about how hard the girls play,” Taylor said. “Pitts-burg is a very good basket-ball team.”

By HOWARD MINTZSan Jose Mercury News
CAIRO (AP) — The Egyptian army deployed tanks and gave both sup-porters and opponents of Mohammed Morsi a deadline to leave the area outside the presidential palace Thursday follow-ing fierce street battles that left five people dead and more than 600 injured in the worst outbreak of violence between the two sides since the Islamist leader’s election.
The intensity of the overnight violence, with Morsi’s Islamist backers and largely secular pro-testers lobbing firebombs and rocks at each other, signaled a possible turn-ing point in the 2-week-old crisis over the president’s assumption of near-abso-lute powers and the hur-ried adoption of a draft constitution.
Opposition activists de-fiantly called for another protest outside the pal-ace later Thursday, rais-ing the specter of more bloodshed as neither side showed willingness to back down.
But the army’s Repub-lican Guard, an elite unit assigned to protect the president and his palaces, gave protesters on both sides until 3 p.m. (1300 GMT, 8 a.m. EDT) to clear the vicinity, according to an official statement. The statement also announced a ban on protests outside any of the nation’s presi-dential palaces.
Morsi was in the pal-ace Thursday conduct-ing business as usual, according to a presiden-tial official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not au-thorized to address the media.
Egypt has seen sporadic clashes throughout nearly two years of political tur-moil after the ouster of autocratic leader Hosni Mubarak. But Wednes-day’s street battles were the worst between Morsi’s supporters and followers and came after an implicit call by the Muslim Broth-erhood for its members to go to the palace and evict anti-Morsi protesters who had camped out there.
Unlike Mubarak, Morsi was elected in June after a narrow victory in Egypt’s first free presidential elec-tions, but many activists who supported him have jumped to the opposition after he issued decrees on Nov. 22 that put him above oversight and a draft charter was later rushed through by his Islamist al-lies despite a walkout by Christian and liberal fac-tions.
Compounding Morsi’s woes, four of his advisers resigned Wednesday, join-ing two other members of his 17-member advisory panel who have aban-doned him since the crisis began.
Six tanks and two ar-mored vehicles belonging to the Republican Guard, an elite unit tasked with protecting the president and his palaces, were sta-tioned Thursday morning at roads leading to the pal-ace in the upscale Cairo district of Heliopolis. The guard’s commander, Maj. Gen. Mohammed Zaki, sought to assure Egyp-tians that his forces were not taking sides.

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 ev-ery column and once in every 3x3 box. One-star puzzles are for begin-ners, and the difficulty gradually increases through the week to a very chal-lenging five-star puzzle.

Public notice
Dear Drs. Donohue and Roach: I have been diagnosed with GERD and Barrett’s esophagus. My doctor put me on 20 milligrams of omepra-zole once daily, and it seemed to work well. I read about the bone problems with omepra-zole and stopped taking it because I also take phenytoin (Dilantin), and I have a bal-ance problem: My fear is that I could fall and break a bone.
I started using aloe ex-tract. I take it twice daily, and it works great. I have had no problems with my GERD since I started taking the aloe. I told my doctor about this, and he did not seem too happy with me for stopping the omeprazole. I would ap-preciate your opinion about this problem. — R.G.
Answer: GERD, gastro-esophageal reflux disease, is a condition in which stomach acid goes up into the esopha-gus, the muscular tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach. Acid doesn’t belong in the esophagus, so it can cause sensations of
burning, or can bring about a cough in some people. Many people have no symptoms.
A few people, after years of acid going up into the esoph-agus, will develop Barrett’s esophagus — the lining of the esophagus starts to look like stomach lining. This puts the esophagus at higher risk of developing adenocarcinoma, a type of cancer. Researchers believe, but haven’t proven, that reducing the acid in the esophagus can prevent can-cer. Studies have proven that the abnormal lining of the esophagus can start to return to normal with high doses of medicines like omepra-zole, so it makes sense that omeprazole can prevent can-cer in those cases.
Unfortunately, stopping symptoms doesn’t always mean that the lining is re-turning to normal. Even though the aloe may be help-ing your symptoms, there is no guarantee that it is helping to stop the Barrett’s esophagus and protect you against esophageal cancer. I suspect that is why your phy-sician seemed unhappy.
You are quite right that both phenytoin and omepra-zole can affect the bones and make them more likely to fracture. But I would recom-mend asking your physician to test your bones for fracture risk before you stop these medicines, since they are both doing very important jobs.
Dear Drs. Donohue and Roach: Can you please ad-dress Moyamoya disease? My husband’s cousin was recent-ly diagnosed with it following a stroke and is undergoing surgery. We heard that there may be a genetic component to the disease through the mother. Is this true? What are the cousin’s chances for a full recovery? — K.O’C.
Answer: Moyamoya dis-ease, despite its odd-sound-ing name (Japanese for “puff of smoke”), is a serious dis-ease involving blockages of the major blood vessels in the base of the brain, called the circle of Willis. It is most prevalent in Japan but is rarely found in this coun-try. Only about 10 percent of Moyamoya is familial, and the genetics are not related to gender, even though the condition is a bit more com-mon in women. Surgical treatment for this condition is designed to increase blood flow to the affected part of the brain. In expert hands, the results can be very good.
Stopping symptoms of GERD does not signal cureDr. Paul Donohue

Dear Tom and Ray: My 16-year-old son drives a 2008 Honda CR-V. He wants to play the car’s radio while the engine is off. He wants to sit in the car with the radio on while he is killing time, or while waiting for me while I am in the store. I have told him it’s not a good idea, since it could kill the battery. He doesn't believe me, since his friends sup-posedly listen to the radios in their cars without the en-gines running. He says they do it “all the time” — listen-ing from 10 minutes to half an hour — and have “nev-er” had a problem with kill-ing the battery. What’s your opinion? Can you resolve
this standoff ? — SarahTom: Is it his car? If it
is, what do you care? If he kills his battery, you can refuse to give him a jump-start until he writes “I will always listen to my sainted mother” 1,000 times.
Ray: Of course, if it's your car he's driving, then I understand why you're con-cerned. But you really don't need to be.
Tom: The radio uses a very small amount of cur-rent — maybe a couple of amps. That's not enough to kill a battery that's in good condition. Not even close. So, as long as the battery is sound, he can play the radio for an hour or two at a time
without doing any harm.Ray: If your battery IS
weak and near the end of its life, then, sure, he might kill it by playing the radio. But in that case, it would have died and stranded you soon anyway. And now you can blame it on him.
Battery won’t be drained by radio

Monte Dutton’s good ol’ NASCAR list of 2012
LOOKING TO NEXT SEASON
� Yes, Howie Mandel came close to losing it when he had Teleprompter problems at the Sprint Cup Awards. It was edgy, but he didn’t go off the edge. He was a flawed choice as emcee, but he tried. He did some homework. The stands at races aren’t generally filled with comedians, at least not professional ones.� Had he not been tragically
killed in 1998, Phil Hartman would have been the perfect choice.� NASCAR is in a tough spot. Its
banquet isn’t big enough to draw a Billy Crystal. Mandel was prob-ably the best it could do. Frank Caliendo might have been better, but he’s done the gig before.� The champion’s speech was
one of simple and unrehearsed eloquence. It wasn’t polished, but it was genuine.� Few race drivers take
public-speaking classes, as the painful remarks of Kasey Kahne attested. He’s a nice guy but so ill at ease in a formal setting.� The entertainment was fine,
but the show still seems too much like the People’s Choice Awards, which some in NASCAR might consider a compliment.� At the end of his speech,
Clint Bowyer said he was “clock-ing out” on the season. It’s a good thing. The next one will be here before long, not to mention the testing that leads up to it.� Did we mention that Danica
Patrick is going to be competing fulltime in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series next year?� Chevy’s new SS drew
positive reviews when unveiled in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, many teams are fretting about the final configurations of the new cars, which still haven’t been finalized.� Jimmie Johnson said the
cars have been changed enough. He wasn’t specific but said it was time to look at changing the tracks in order to provide better competition.
� Who’s hot: The champ can’t relax. Brad Keselowski will be in a Ford come Daytona. ... The runner-up, Clint Bowyer, is set in his MWR Toyota.
� Who’s not: Awards emcee Howie Man-del went into a snit over a Teleprompter and its operator. ... Kasey Kahne’s speech wasn’t exactly reminiscent of Shakespeare, or even Keselowski.
VERSUS
Both were graceful during the Sprint Cup Awards. Both endured numerous quips at their expense. Relations are still strained, though, and two of the sport’s premier performers enter 2013 in what at best can be described as an uneasy truce.
NASCAR This Week’s Monte Dutton gives his take: “The bitterness is too deep. It can’t be resolved with words. It takes time, and in this case, quite a bit of it. For one thing, they will be constantly watched on the track, particularly when in close proximity.”

Dear NASCAR This Week,Mrs. Joan Wilkerson, in her letter … of
Thursday, Nov. 28, hit the nail on the head with her comments regarding the Gordon/Bowyer incident. I completely agree with her.

Dear NASCAR This Week,I feel the same as the letter of Joan Wilkerson.
I couldn’t have said it better myself. “Bowyer has wrecked Gordon many times. It was about time Gordon stood up for himself.”

It could be that these two notes are related.

old days than they are now. Joe Weatherly, who won championships in 1962 and ’63, hated the number 13 so much that, in 1962, he proclaimed that he would not compete in the Southern 500 because it was being advertised as the 13th running of the event (which, of course, it was). Darlington Raceway President Bob Colvin solved the problem by determining that it was “the 12th Renewal Southern 500.” (Source: The Official NASCAR Trivia Book)

As a group, they’re not notable for their book learning, but NASCAR figures learn to turn a phrase, as collected
during another grueling Sprint Cup season:
“What’s surprised me is just how much I truly enjoy driving these cars.” — Danica Patrick.
“I have hit a lot of things, but a jet dryer? I mean, no …” — Juan Pablo Montoya, after the Daytona 500.
“I don’t think that it’s reasonable for any young driver to not make mistakes, but I think that it’s important to learn from them.” — Brad Keselowski, before embarking on a championship.
“One of the goals in my life is to sit up on that stage (as champion) in Las Vegas, and I think he’s the guy who can make it happen.” — Roger Penske, on Brad Keselowski, May.
“I could win at a lot of tracks, but I just try to spread them out and give some other drivers a chance.” — Ryan Newman, in jest, after winning his 16th race on his 11th different track.
“There isn’t a car more scrutinized in this garage area than the No. 48. It’s been that way for the last decade.” — Jimmie Johnson.
“All things must come to an end, and this surface has come to an end …” — Clint Bowyer, at Kansas.
“Richard Petty got quite an ovation when he ran his last race in Atlanta, but nothing like this.” — MRN’s Barney Hall, after Dale Earnhardt Jr. ended a 143-race winless streak
“I was never taught to give and take. I was taught to race hard.” — Newman.
THEY SAID IT DURING THE SEASON
John Clark/NASCAR This Week2012 got off to a wild start when driver Juan Pablo Montoya hit the Daytona International Speedway track jet dryer. The crash set off an explosion involving 200 gallons of fuel. Montoya finished 36th after starting 35th in the race.
Uncertain TimesLook out for some changes for 2013 Cup season
John Clark/NASCAR This WeekClint Bowyer’s switch from Richard Childress Racing to Waltrip Racing was a huge gamble, but it seemed to pay off as he finished runner-up to Brad Keselowski in this season’s Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship. What’s in store for next season amid more NASCAR and team changes?
By Monte DuttonNASCAR This Week
It’s possible that the next NASCAR season will be similar to the one just completed, but it’s not as likely as in the past for 2013 to link seamlessly with 2012.
Brad Keselowski is the Sprint Cup champion, and his first will probably not be his last. Keselowski is just 28, with a future as bright as the noonday sun. He drove a Dodge Charger to his title. Next year he’ll be in a Ford Fusion, which, at the very least, requires some adap-tation, and at the very most, a bit of uncertainty that wasn’t in place a year ago.
Keselowski’s gamble isn’t as great as Clint Bowyer’s a year ago. Bowyer switched teams, moving from Rich-ard Childress’ Chevy into Michael Waltrip’s Toyota. Bowyer finished runner-up to Keselowski.
Really, though, all the cars are going to be different. NASCAR is implementing a design change, the most noticeable development being that the cars will look less like one another and more like cars that actually sit in showrooms and roll around streets.
Teams will shake down their cars and pore over data from tests sanctioned by NASCAR, but in the short run, the balance of power will almost surely shift. Some teams will adapt better than others at the outset. In time, it will even out. Early on, one manufacturer might appear to have a slight advantage. That, too, will pass, but in a sense, the change might make the early part of next season more crucial than last.
NASCAR officials have also made changes in the qualifying process, reducing the number of automatic spots in the starting fields.
In fairness, it should be added that 2012 was hardly a carbon copy of 2011. The championship changed hands. Keselowski surprised the experts, most of whom expected him to make the Chase for the Sprint Cup but gave him little chance of winning it.
A driver who almost won the 2011 championship, Carl Edwards, didn’t even make the Chase. Neither did Kyle Busch, who is almost unanimously considered one of the sport’s great talents.
Stay tuned. February is going to be very interesting.
