ST. LOUIS (AP) — An ar-mada of snow plows and salt spreaders deployed Wednes-day on highways across the nation’s heartland working to stay ahead of a powerful winter storm that already is blamed for one road death.

Winter storm warnings were issued from Colorado through Illinois, with as much as a foot of snow expected in several areas.

Kelly Sugden, a National Weather Service meteorolo-gist in Dodge City, Kan., said early this morning that the storm was moving a bit slower than was previously forecast but that it was “starting to get back together.”

“It’s very active,” Sugden said, noting the snowfall was mixed with lightning and sleet showers.

Sugden said Wednesday’s highest snowfall total for the state was 6? inches recorded in the tiny central town of Rozel. He said they were expecting heavy snow but not blizzard conditions. Still, he warned

that the Interstate 70 corridor could see as much as 13 inches of snow with drifts adding to the danger for drivers.

Heavy snow was already falling in Colorado and west-ern Kansas by midday Wednes-day. In Oklahoma, roads were covered with a slushy mix of

snow and ice that officials said caused a crash that killed an 18-year-old man.

Cody Alexander, 18, of Alex, Okla., died Wednesday when the pickup truck he was driv-ing skidded out of control in slush on State Highway 19, crossed into oncoming traf-

fic and was hit by a truck, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol said. The other driver was not seriously injured.

And in northern Arkansas a school bus crashed Wednes-day afternoon on a steep, snowy country road, leaving three students and the driver

with minor injuries. Pope County Sheriff Aaron Duval said the bus slid off a road on Crow Mountain, nearly flip-ping before it was stopped by trees at the roadside.

Officials feared the winter storm would be the worst in

Another turn for old barber shopBy BOB JOHNSONbob@iolaregister.com

Jack Steiner can tell a sto-ry as well as anyone and he is getting more opportunities these days.

Steiner has cut hair in Iola since 1966, part time until two weeks ago.

Then, Greg Shields, with whom he had worked the previous 12 years in a shop

owned by John Zahm at 110 West St., opened his own shop on the opposite side of the Iola square.

Steiner was faced with ei-ther hanging up his clippers or adjusting his hours. For the past several years he had cut hair on Tuesdays and Sat-urdays, after having spent many years previous to that

working at the shop on Sat-urdays, while teaching and coaching in Yates Center.

His decision was to have the shop open 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday.

“I decided not to work Sat-urdays, for the first time in more than 45 years,” said Steiner, 66. “I have twin

KANSAS CITY, Mo. _ A body was found Wednesday morning in the debris of JJ’s restaurant, where fire crews searched for a female server missing after a massive explo-sion rocked the area just west of Kansas City’s Country Club Plaza Tuesday night.

The body was discovered in the bar area in the southwest

corner of the building.In Springfield, Mo., the fam-

ily of Megan Cramer told The Kansas City Star that it had been contacted by authorities in Kansas City. Cramer, 46, had been a server at JJ’s for several months.

The family said confirma-tion using medical records might take 24 to 48 hours.

Kansas City Fire Chief Paul Berardi said the restau-rant was reduced to rubble 3 or 4 feet deep, with debris too heavy for crews to lift manu-ally, requiring heavy equip-ment for a careful search.

But the fire department is also mindful that, with a win-ter storm bearing down on Kansas City, it needs to work quickly to try to find anyone who might still be in the build-ing.

“We’re working two criti-cal situations,” he said. “We have a short window of time to do a lot of work. We’ll con-tinue through this process to ensure that there aren’t other victims.”

He said search and rescue crews and cadaver dogs spent three hours Tuesday night

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.

granddaughters who are in kindergarten, and Saturdays are about the only time I can take them places.”

Also, Saturdays are when a good many sports events unfold. Few peo-ple are bigger fans and spend more time watch-ing basketball and foot-ball at all levels more than Steiner.

RIGHT OUT of Yates Center High in 1964, Steiner, as it is with many his age, didn’t have a definite idea of what he wanted to do with his adult life.

“I’d watched an old Yates Center barber, and envied how he always had a good time visit-ing with customers and seemed to be making good money,” Steiner re-called between haircuts Wednesday afternoon.

Barber school being a six-month session also wasn’t lost on young Steiner.

In 1966 he joined Zahm at the Iola shop, but wasn’t there long.

Steiner was activated with the National Guard and had a six-month tour at Fort Polk, La. When he returned to Iola, his

brother, Bill, was parked behind the second chair in Zahm’s shop.

He caught on at a six-chair shop in the White Lakes Mall in Topeka, then the largest shop in Kansas, but was back in Iola before long after Bill opened his own shop in Yates Center.

Before he had settled in too much, Steiner, known for his varied in-

terests, enrolled at Allen County Community Col-lege and over five years, taking five to six credit hours a semester, earned an associate’s degree. He went on to Emporia State to earn a teaching degree.

Soon he was back in Yates Center, teach-ing and coaching, and hooked back up with Zahm, working Satur-days.

“I started the Tuesday and Saturday schedule in 2002,” with Shields after Zahm retired in 1999, Steiner said, and kept with it until the first of this month when Shields moved to his new shop.

“JACK WAS a delight to have in the shop,” Zahm recalled. “He kept me and the customers

laughing with all the sto-ries he told, and his sto-rytelling led me to talk more with my custom-ers.”

Many of his stories were self-deprecating, Steiner allowed.

“I’ve made a few mis-takes in my life and I’ve never been afraid to ad-mit it when I did,” Stein-er said. “I had a class in salesmanship from Don Andrews at the college (ACCC), and he said one thing he liked about me was that I could make fun of myself.”

Zahm often got into the act.

“When Jack went to solo when he was learn-ing to fly, I went along to watch him crash,” Zahm quipped.

ZAHM, 72, AND Stein-er, from their long associ-ation with the shop, have a historical perspective.

“When I started in 1966, there were 11 shops in Iola and 13 barbers,” Steiner said. “Now we have three shops and four barbers.”

Neither knows for cer-tain how long there has been a shop at 110 West St. West Street Barber Shop was there in the 1940s, and Zahm once found a sign that ad-vertised haircuts for 10 cents, which leads him to think the shop was there back to the 1930s, or even before.

Zahm arrived in Iola in 1963, after starting his tonsorial career in Co-lumbus.

A supplies salesman mentioned to Zahm that Charlie Reeder was wanting to sell his shop

— at 110 West St. — and Zahm found it to his lik-ing, although right off the bat he wasn’t sure the choice was a wise one.

“My first night in Iola I slept in the backseat of my car,” he said. “I didn’t have any money” — wasn’t immediately sure when he might.

“One of my first days in the shop it was 4 in the afternoon before I cut my first head of hair,” Zahm said.

Then, haircuts were $1.25, and once he was established Zahm was cutting 20 or more heads each day. Most custom-ers stopped by every two to three weeks, but then long hair became the fad in the late 1960s. Time between visits lengthened and for the first time beauticians found men and boys stopping by their shops for stylish cuts.

Not to be left out, Zahm attended several styl-ing seminars and added “style” to the name his shop.

“Some barbers didn’t want to cut the longer hair, but it didn’t bother me,” he said. “I did what-ever people wanted.”

Zahm’s vocational choice was prompted by a friend of his parents who cut hair at a “speed shop” in Wichita.

“They cut hair as fast as they could and he (the friend) always had a wad of money in his pocket,” Zahm said. “I thought, ‘Why be a farmer (he grew up on farm) when you can cut hair and have a pocket-ful of money.’”

The store carries food, hardware, tennis shoes and home décor, all which can be bought for a steal of a price.

“We offer a little bit of everything,” Candee said. “We will have cool-ers and milk going here soon.”

The store has been open a week and so far the ladies have received great feedback from cus-tomers.

“We have gotten a lot of repeat customers and one lady has come ev-eryday,” Candee said.

Merchandise comes from Grandview, Mo., home of the store’s main locations. Custom-ers can even shop online at, www.thebargainfac-tory.net/index.htm, and their items will come with the next regular shipment.

The business oppor-tunity came from Can-dee’s father Orbellee Cooper and David Mer-ryman.

Candee said The Bar-gain Factory, a subsid-iary of ELDO W.R.M.S., Inc., offers small towns affordable shopping.

THE BUILDING had to have renovations made, which Callee said was done by her father.

“He redid a lot. He painted, put in the ceil-ing fans, built the glass cases and had to break down a lot of walls,” said Callee, a senior at Crest High School.

“It was like a one-man show,” Candee said.

The ladies are hop-ing to see the business grow but most impor-tantly, for the Iola com-munity, for it to stay for a while.

“We want to keep it going for a long time. To give people somewhere they can go and not feel pressured. To give people who might be go-ing through a hard time financially a way to pro-vide for their families,” Callee said. “It’s about community and family, that’s what my dad was all about.”

University of Kansas Hospital said Wednesday afternoon that it had five patients whose condi-tions ranged from seri-ous to extremely critical. St. Luke’s Hospital has one patient, a male in serious condition with trauma injuries and smoke inhalation.

A KU Hospital trau-ma surgeon described injuries comparable to what might be seen in wartime: severe concus-sions, lacerations, mul-tiple fractures, injuries to the liver and spleen, lung injuries that may require days or weeks on a ventilator, burns that will require multiple surgeries.

By THOMAS FRIEDMANThe New York Times

The Daily News of Egypt reported that the national ad-ministrative court ruled last week that the popular Al-Tet “belly dancing channel” be taken off the air for broad-casting without a license.

Who knew that Egypt had a belly dancing channel? (Does Comcast know about this?) It is evidently quite popular but apparently offensive to some of the rising Islamist forces in Egypt. It is not clear how much the Muslim Brother-hood’s party had to do with the belly ban, but what is clear is that no one in Egypt is having much fun these days.

The country is more divid-ed than ever between Islamist and less religious and liberal parties, and the Egyptian currency has lost 8 percent of its value against the dollar in the last two months. Even more disturbing, there has been a sharp increase lately in cases of police brutality and rape directed at opposi-tion protesters. It is all add-ing up to the first impression that President Mohamed Morsi and the Muslim Broth-erhood are blowing their first chance at power.

Sometime in the next few months, Morsi is to visit the White House. He has only one chance to make a second impression if he wants to continue to receive U.S. aid from Congress. But the more I see of Muslim Brother-hood rule in Egypt, the more I wonder if it has any second impression to offer.

Since the start of the 2011 revolution in Tahrir Square, every time the Muslim Broth-erhood faced a choice of whether to behave in an inclu-sive way or grab more power, true to its Bolshevik tenden-cies it grabbed more power and sacrificed inclusion. This was true whether it was about how quickly to hold elections (before the opposition could or-ganize) or how quickly to draw up and vote on a new constitu-tion (before opposition com-plaints could be addressed) or how broadly to include opposi-tion figures in the government (as little as possible). The op-position is not blameless — it has taken too long to get its act together — but Morsi’s power grab will haunt him.

Egypt is in dire economic condition. Youth unemploy-ment is rampant, everything is in decay, tourism and for-eign investment and reserves are down sharply. As a result, Egypt needs an I.M.F. bail-out. Any bailout, though, will involve economic pain — in-cluding cuts in food and fuel subsidies to shrink Egypt’s steadily widening budget deficit. This will hurt.

In order to get Egyptians to sign on to that pain, a big majority needs to feel invest-ed in the government and its success. And that is not the case today. Morsi desper-ately needs a national unity government, made up of a broad cross-section of Egyp-tian parties, but, so far, the Muslim Brotherhood has

failed to reach any under-standing with the National Salvation Front, the opposi-tion coalition.

Egypt also desperately needs foreign investment to create jobs. There are billions of dollars of Egyptian capital sitting outside the country to-day, because Egyptian inves-tors, particularly Christians, are fearful of having money confiscated or themselves ar-rested on specious charges, as happened to some after Presi-dent Hosni Mubarak’s fall. One of the best things Morsi could do for himself and for Egypt would be to announce an amnesty of everyone from the Mubarak era who does not have blood on his hands or can be proved in short order to have stolen government mon-ey. Egypt needs every ounce of its own talent and capital it can mobilize back home. This is no time for revenge.

The Brotherhood, though, doesn’t just need a new gov-erning strategy. It needs to understand that its version of political Islam — which is resistant to women’s em-powerment and religious and political pluralism — might be sustainable if you are Iran or Saudi Arabia, and you have huge reserves of oil and gas to buy off all the contradictions between your ideology and economic growth. But if you are Egypt and basically your only nat-ural resource is your people — men and women — you need to be as open to the world and modernity as pos-sible to unleash all of their potential for growth.

Bottom line: Either the Muslim Brotherhood changes or it fails — and the sooner it realizes that the better. I understand why President Obama’s team pre-fers to convey this message privately: so the political forces in Egypt don’t start focusing on us instead of on each other. That’s wise. But I don’t think we are con-veying this message force-fully enough. And Egyptian democracy advocates cer-tainly don’t. In an open let-ter to President Obama last week in Al-Ahram Weekly, the Egyptian human rights activist Bahieddin Hassan wrote Obama that the muted “stances of your adminis-tration have given political cover to the current authori-tarian regime in Egypt and allowed it to fearlessly im-plement undemocratic poli-cies and commit numerous acts of repression.”

It would not be healthy for us to re-create with the Mus-lim Brotherhood the bargain we had with Mubarak. That is, just be nice to Israel and nasty to the jihadists and you can do whatever you want to your own people out back. It also won’t be possi-ble. The Egyptian people tol-erated that under Mubarak for years. But now they are mobilized, and they have lost their fear. Both we and Morsi need to understand that this old bargain is not sustain-able any longer.

Fun evaporatesin today’s Egypt

WASHINGTON — The grand bargain may not be dead, but it has been given its last rites.

On Tuesday morning, as President Obama and House Republicans were abandoning hope of reaching a compro-mise to avoid across-the-board spending cuts on March 1, the indefatigable duo of Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson made one more attempt to float a bipartisan compromise. They were literally shouted down.

Seconds after Bowles and Simpson were introduced at a breakfast forum hosted by Politico, hecklers in the audi-ence began to interrupt: “Pay your share of taxes! Stop cut-ting jobs! Stop cutting Medi-care and Medicaid!”

“Wait your turn,” pleaded the moderator, Politico’s Mike Allen, as the half-dozen dem-onstrators were gradually re-moved.

After the ruckus subsided, Simpson, a former Republi-can senator from Wyoming, smiled. “You’ll note how sweet I’ve been in the last few min-utes, which is not my trait,” he said.

No, but Simpson and Bowles have learned to suffer indigni-ties — and hecklers are the least of the trouble. The real insults are coming from the White House and the Capitol, where the two men and their happy notions of compromise are on the outs.

How far out? Allen asked them when they last spoke with Obama, who had chosen them to lead his fiscal commis-sion. “Personally, I suppose a year and a half, or something,” Simpson replied. Bowles con-sidered. “Uh, before the elec-tion,” he answered.

Bowles, a former chief of staff in Bill Clinton’s White House, was particularly grim as he made his latest effort to spur compromise. “The idea of a grand bargain is at best on life support,” he said at a

news conference before the breakfast.

Later, with the cameras rolling, he spoke gloomily about the failure to reach a

comprehensive deal to avoid the “fiscal cliff.” “What we felt at the end of last year was a disappointment like no other that I’ve ever experienced,” he said. “It was the time when we had the best chance to really do something serious.”

As if to show their lack of seriousness, Obama and House Speaker John Boehner made their own statements later Tuesday morning de-voted to blame-fixing. Obama appeared onstage with first-re-sponders, their brass badges offset by navy dress uniforms. “Republicans in Congress face a simple choice,” he said. “Are you willing to see a bunch of first-responders lose their jobs because you want to protect some special-interest tax loop-hole?”

Obama was so focused on scolding Congress for its “meat-cleaver approach” that he lost control of his meta-phors. “We’ve got more work to do than to just try to dig ourselves out of these self-in-flicted wounds,” he said.

Boehner responded with a written statement condemn-ing “the president’s campaign-style event criticizing his own sequester,” the term for the automatic spending cuts. The statement went on to mention “his sequester” and “the pres-ident’s sequester” three times.

Neither is offering anything close to a workable plan.

Boehner’s is the most ab-surd. His House Republicans are proposing to balance the

budget in a decade, which would mean cuts of $4 trillion over 10 years, without any tax increase. If Republicans are serious about exempt-ing Social Security, Medicare and defense from cuts, they’d have to slash everything else government does by nearly 40 percent.

Obama’s plan is only slight-ly more sensible. He’s aban-doned any thought of reduc-ing the debt, planning only to stabilize it at its historically high level by reducing defi-cits by just $1.5 trillion over 10 years through a combination of tax increases and spending cuts. He made a point of say-ing Tuesday that he is willing to cut health care costs over 10 years by the same level “proposed by the bipartisan Simpson-Bowles commission” — $400 billion.

But that proposal was made in 2010, and the nation’s fi-nances have since deteriorat-ed. Simpson and Bowles said Tuesday that health care cuts would need to be $600 billion over a decade. That’s part of their new plan to shave $2.4 trillion from the deficit over 10 years; they would also raise $600 billion in tax revenue by limiting deductions, and cut an additional $1.2 trillion from farm subsidies, Social Security and other programs.

Bowles on Tuesday restated the obvious: Obama needs to accept deeper cuts to the gov-ernment’s health care spend-ing, and Republicans need to accept more tax increases. But this assumes both sides want a grand bargain to right the nation’s finances, and it’s no longer obvious that they do.

“These guys here aren’t in-terested in winning,” Simp-son said. “They’re interested in making the other side lose — in fact, rubbing the other side’s nose in it.”

ITHACA, N.Y. (AP) — Rob-ert C. Richardson, a Cornell University professor who shared a Nobel Prize for a key discovery in experimen-tal physics, has died. He was 75.

Richardson died Tuesday in Ithaca from complications of a heart attack, Cornell said Wednesday.

He and fellow Cornell re-searchers David Lee and Douglas Osheroff were awarded the Nobel for 1996 for their 1971 work on low-temperature physics involv-ing the isotope helium-3, which has contributed to research ranging from the properties of microscopic

matter to astrophysics.Richardson was born in

Washington, D.C., earned his bachelors and masters de-grees in physics at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and a doctorate at Duke University, where he studied with the physicist Horst Meyer and later served as a trustee.

He joined Cornell in 1968 and was named Floyd R. New-man Professor of Physics in 1987. He was also Cornell’s first provost for research from 1998 to 2003.

“Bob Richardson was an extraordinary physicist who used his deep understanding of the scientific enterprise to shape the course of research

at Cornell and nationally,” said Cornell President David Skorton.

As co-author of the 2005 National Academy of Scienc-es report “Rising Above the Gathering Storm: Energiz-ing and Employing America for a Brighter Economic Fu-ture,” Richardson called for the U.S. to ensure it remains globally competitive in sci-ence and technology.

Lee, now a physics profes-sor at Texas A&M University, and Osheroff, a professor emeritus at Stanford Univer-sity, both praised Richardson as a role model and mentor for colleagues and graduate students.

Reverend Earl Bell married Ray and Grace and will be present at their celebration on Sunday.

Ray and Grace met in Iola. They have two children, Glen Wools, Lawrence, and Portia and husband Rick Mur-phy, Stark. They had one granddaughter, Mi-tia Marie, deceased Feb. 17, 2005, and six grand-sons, Todd, Thomas, Michael, Allen Wools,

Lawrence, and Chris-tian and Jodie Murphy, Stark.

They have been blessed to have such a great friend and fam-ily. Friends and family are invited to join in the celebration.

The family requests no gifts, they said the presence of their fam-ily and friends will be their presents.

AnniversaryRay and Grace Wools

the Midwest since the Groundhog Day blizzard in 2011. A two-day storm that began Feb. 1, 2011, was blamed for about two dozen deaths and left hundreds of thousands without power, some for several days. At its peak, the storm created white-out conditions so intense that Interstate 70 was shut down across the en-tire state of Missouri.

Tim Chojnacki, spokesman for the Mis-souri Department of Transportation, said it planned to have salt trucks on the roads be-fore the storm arrived in the Show-Me State in hopes that the precipita-tion would largely melt upon impact.

Much of Kansas was expected to get up to a foot of snow, which many rural residents welcomed after nearly a year of drought.

Jerry and Diane McReynolds spent part of Wednesday putting out more hay and straw for newborn calves at their farm near Woodston in north cen-tral Kansas. The storm made extra work, but Diane McReynolds said it would help their win-ter wheat, pastures and dried-up ponds.

“In the city you hear they don’t want the snow and that sort of thing, and I am thinking, ‘Yes, we do,’ and they don’t realize that we need it,” she said. “We have to have it or their food cost in the grocery store is going to go very high. We have to have this. We pray a lot for it.”

Meanwhile, a sepa-rate snow storm caught many drivers by sur-prise in California, leav-ing hundreds stranded on mountain highways. A 35-mile stretch of Highway 58 between Mo-

jave and Bakersfield was closed Wednesday, and several school districts closed. No injuries were reported.

Schools also were closed in northern Arizona and Colorado with snow there. Mindy Crane, a spokeswoman for the Colorado Depart-ment of Transportation, said hundreds of plows had been deployed for what was expected to be one of the most signifi-cant snow storms of the season.

Just the threat of snow led to a series of shutdowns in the middle of the country. Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback closed state govern-ment from this morning through Friday morning

and urged residents to stay off the roads.

Lawmakers in Nebras-ka and Iowa cancelled committee meetings and hearings, and the Ar-kansas Senate voted to recess until Monday so lawmakers could make it home before the worst of the storm hit. University of Nebraska officials moved a Big Ten men’s basketball game against Iowa from today to Sat-urday.

National Weather Ser-vice meteorologist Jay-son Gosselin said pre-cipitation is generally expected to drop off as the storm makes its way east. Chicago and parts of Indiana, he said, could get about 2 inches of snow and some sleet.

H StormContinued from A1

Upcoming events were mentioned at the Feb. 14 meeting of the Iola Ama-teur Radio Club.

March 3-9 is Kansas Severe Weather Aware-ness Week; March 4 club members will meet with Pam Beasley, emergency management director, at the critical response cen-ter at 7:30 p.m.

A ham radio storm drill is scheduled at 1 p.m. on March 9. Ex-treme weather chasing will be the topic of a meeting at the Bowlus Fine Arts Center March 12.

The next club meeting is March 14.

Upcoming hamfests are April 2, Kansas City, and May 6, Stone Castle, Branson, Mo.

Members learned that two repeaters were installed at the 911 center and the battery backup for the club’s two-meter rig was checked and found in fine fettle.

Robert Klubek passed his technician test.

Register/Richard LukenIola High wrestlers Stephen McDonald, Trey Colborn and Bryce Misenhelter were given a low-key send-off Wednesday as they departed for Salina for the Class 4A State Wrestling Tournament. The wrestlers and coach Brad Carson left one day early because of the ongoing winter storm. Shown here are, from left, McDonald, IHS athletics director Martin Bambick, Colborn, Misenhelter and Carson.

SALINA — Three Iola wrestlers followed varying paths en route to the Class 4A state wrestling tournament, which opens Friday.

Senior Stephen McDonald and sophomore Trey Col-born, both of whom are pre-vious state qualifiers, both were sidelined due to injury or illness for extended peri-ods. Meanwhile, junior Bryce Misenhelter was perhaps the Mustangs’ most consistently tough wrestler each week.

McDonald takes his 21-3 re-cord to the Salina Bicenten-

nial Center in the 220-pound division. It should be noted a shoulder injury played a role in all three losses. He in-jured his shoulder in a loss to Gershm Avalos, the second-ranked 4A wrestler in the state at that weight level, in early January.

McDonald returned in early February, only to tweak his shoulder again in a de-fault injury loss. He rested his shoulder last weekend for the championship match and potential rematch with Avalos in the Class 4A re-

gional tournament.McDonald will take on Til-

er Garcia (26-15) of Baldwin in the opening round.

Avalos takes a 31-6 record into Salina. Other wrestlers to watch are top-ranked Jus-tin Scott (35-0) from Topeka’s Jefferson West High School. Thomas Miller (35-6) is from Tonganoxie, while Austin Gates of Pratt (28-8), Otto Orosco (27-7) of Ulysses and Jon Yates (30-6) of Buhler also expected to be heard from.

Iola High’s basketball teams will open the Class 4A Substate Tournament in Al-tamont Tuesday to take on La-bette County.

Playoff pairings for the postseason playoffs were an-nounced Wednesday.

The Fillies (1-18) are the sev-enth seed and will take on the third-seeded Grizzlies (12-7) at 6 p.m. Tuesday. The Mustangs (7-12) holds the sixth seed and will face third-seeded Labette County (14-5) at about 7:30 p.m.

Typically, the boys and girls play on different nights at sub-state until the championship round. The only exception is when both teams play on the road at the same school, such

as in Iola’s case.If the Mustangs defeat La-

bette County, they would face either second seed Indepen-dence (15-5) or seventh seed Parsons (3-16). Coffeyville’s Field Kindley High holds the top seed at 16-4 and will host eighth seed Towanda-Circle (3-16) Monday. Fourth seed El Dorado (13-6) hosts fifth-seed-ed Chanute (11-9) in the other quarterfinal.

Independence High School is the host for this year’s Class 4A substate and will serve as the site for the semifinal and final rounds. The semifinals are Thursday, Feb. 28, for the

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — Allen Community College’s baseball team won a pair of games at opposite ends of the spectrum Tuesday, pounding out a 16-14 slug-fest win over Evangel University, then receiving a two-hit shutout in a 6-0 win in the finale.

The victories improved Al-len’s record to 2-3 on the sea-son. Games today at Oklaho-ma Wesleyan University have been canceled due to weather.

Allen took advantage of 15 hits and five Evangel errors, while doing much of its dam-age in innings 3 through 5.

A walk to Trey Francis trig-

gered a four-run third. Troy Willoughby followed with a run-scoring single. After sin-gles by Tim Lewis and Jerrik Sigg, Nate Arnold provided the big blast of the frame, a three-run home run.

Evangel responded with a five-run inning of its own to take a 6-4 lead before the Red Devils bounced right back with a six-run fourth. This time, a hit batsmen — Cody Amerine was the victim — was followed by singles by Cole Slusser and Francis. Clint Heffern drove in Amerine with a sacrifice

By STEVEN SCHWARTZsteven@iolaregister.comThe Allen Community Col-

lege men were “right there” for the entire game, head coach Andy Shaw said, but a lack of intensity prevented the Red Devils from overcom-ing what ended up a 69-60 defeat at the hand of Kansas City, Kan., Community Col-lege.

“We didn’t play with the same effort that we have been for the past three or four

games,” Shaw said.The score bounced back

and forth between both teams for the majority of the game, while KCKCC held a slight lead. Antonio Winn and Lamonte Burgette had early scores for the Blue Dev-ils, which had them up 18-12 with 12 minutes left in the half.

A surge from the Red Dev-ils had them back in the game in no time.

Andrew Rountree hit on a

hard drive from inside, while Ben Uno nailed a three, fol-lowed by a 2-pointer from Tray Fountain. Alex Keiswet-ter hit a two inside to tie the game at 23-all six minutes be-fore the half.

A 3-pointer from Seth Walden had ACC in the lead 28-25. But it didn’t last long.

The Blue Devils bounced back just before the half. Dominique Washington

The Allen Community Col-legewomen were threatened by several comeback attempts from the Blue Devils Wednes-day night, but those worries were put to rest in the second half.

Red Devils defeated Kansas City, Kan., Community Col-lege 63-52 after after taking the lead midway through the first half, and holding it from there.

Allen overcame a small defi-cit early in the first half with a 3-pointer from DaNara Day, which she immediately fol-lowed with a quick score un-derneath on an inbound pass. Her scores put the home team up 6-5.

Mariah Marusak hit a

long 2-pointer, followed by a 3-pointer from Bailey West to put the Blue Devils up by four with just over nine minutes before the half.

ACC’s Brittany Redmond hit two free throws, and Day hit two more from beyond the three-point line to give the Red Devils a 22-17 lead with 2:32 re-maining.

The halftime buzzer sound-ed with a 29-19 ACC advantage.

After the half, it was slow and steady for both teams, with a fairly even scoring ef-fort from both squads.

Kendra Taiclet opened the half with a 3-pointer. The scor-ing began to come more freely for the home team, with con-

ACC women prevail

Way To Go!

Misenhelter avoided Iola’s injury bug at 182 pounds, compiling a 31-12 record in the pro-cess. He gets the honor of wrestling the state’s top-ranked 4A wres-tler, Andale’s Levi Eck (35-2), in the opening round. Other wrestlers to watch are Prairie

View’s Jake Bradley (38-4), Armando San-doval (30-9) of Ulysses, Colton Cooper (30-13) of Goodland, Lee Koch (39-6) of Anderson County and Weston Loder (27-6) of Smoky Valley.

Colborn, who quali-fied as a freshman last year, struggled early in the season with a back

injury and illness. He rebounded nicely to cap-ture third place at re-gionals in the 285-pound division. He will face Brandon Neal (18-6) of Perry Lecompton.

Other wrestlers to watch include Josh Horn (29-2) of Winfield, Zell Bieberie (35-5) of Colby, Matt Kellerman

(31-7) of Prairie View, Joe Pomatto (34-5) of Paola, Jason Zook (29-8) of Chapman and Cooper Zeller (32-5) of Holton.

The ongoing winter storm has forced state officials to push back the start of Friday’s com-petition to noon, two hours later than normal. Weigh-in is at 9 a.m.

tributions from Leslie Ware and Day as the clock wound down.

The Blue Devils made one last effort to get back into the game with three minutes remaining. Paris Johnson hit from underneath, followed by Samantha Hurst and a 3-pointer from Nage Umutlu. But that was as close as they could get

Day led the scoring for the Red Devils with 22 points, followed by 11 from Redmond and 10 from Ware. Day had six rebounds as well, and Miracle Davis had four assists.

As a team, the Red

Devils hit 14 for 53 from field goal range (26.4 per-cent), and eight for 26 from three point range (30.8 percent). From the foul line, ACC sank 27 for 39 (69.2 percent).

hit back-to-back 3-point-ers, along with a three from Winn. Evrard Atcho had a hard dunk to end the half with all of the momentum in KCKCC’s favor, 38-31.

The visiting team held on to the lead for the re-mainder of the contest.

“We missed easy op-portunities around the rim, and a lot of re-bounds, too,” Shaw said. “They shot the ball well.”

The scoring continued for both squads, how-ever, early in the second half. Josh Rupprechy and Washington had multiple scores from the oppositions side.

Keiswetter was all over the court in the be-ginning of the second half. He had multiple shots underneath, many from rebounds and fol-low-ups from missed shots.

The Red Devils edged within four points late in the contest. Bryce Schip-pers got into the action with a couple of 3-point-ers, and Rountree went to the line multiple times.

The Blue Devils, how-ever, resisted the Red Devils’ best efforts.

Keiswetter led ACC in

scoring with 11 points, Rickey Roberts and De-Andrae Barnette had 10 apiece. Rountree had eight rebounds, Roberts had four assists.

As a team, the Red Devils went 23 for 61 from field-goal range (37.7 percent), and six for 20 from three-point range (30 percent). They hit eight of 14 from the foul line (57.1 percent).

Shaw said the team just didn’t have “it,” which was direly needed for any sort of come-back win. Despite a close game at times, he felt that his team didn’t step up and compete when it needed to.

“We just got beat,” he said flatly.

The Red Devils travel to Cowley Saturday.

fly, then Willoughby’s single scored Slusser, and Lewis’ hit drove in Francis. Sigg’s double drove in Willoughby. Montana Samuels drove in a run with a sacrifice fly. Sigg scored the last run of the inning on fielder’s interference.

A five-run fifth inning pushed the lead to 15-6. Allen took advantage of three Evangel errors, leading to two-run dou-bles by Sigg and Arnold.

Evangel made things interesting with an

eight-run fifth, closing the gap to 15-14.

Slusser doubled to lead off the sixth. He advanced on a bunt and scored on Heffern’s sac-rifice fly for the final two-run margin.

Arnold pitched a per-fect bottom of the sev-enth for the save.

Sigg went 4-for-5 with two doubles, three RBIs and three runs scored. Arnold drove in five runs on his three hits, including a double and home run. Willoughby, Lewis and Slusser all

had two hits. Francis had a single.

GEOFFREY Bourque ensured the fireworks in the opener were not repeated in the night-cap. He allowed only two hits in his complete game shutout, with three walks and five strikeouts.

Arnold drove in Sigg via a single with Allen’s first run in the top of the first. Slusser singled to start the second. He advanced on a stolen base and error before

scoring on a passed ball. Another passed ball al-lowed Francis to score after he had walked.

Arnold singled and scored on an Amerine double in the third. Three errors and a passed ball allowed the Red Devils to score two runs without a hit in the fifth.

Arnold added three more hits to his resume, while Willoughby and Lewis both singled twice. Amerine had a double. Drew Walden and Slusser both had singles.

Olpe and Waverly have byes.

(8-12) at 7:30 p.m. Mon-day, with the winner tak-ing on undefeated Olpe (19-0) on Feb. 28 in semi-final action. On the oth-er side of the bracket, third-seeded Lebo (15-4) battles Heritage Chris-tian (1-18), the sixth seed.

Semifinals and finals will be played at the Olpe High School gymnasi-um.

CREST HIGH’S boys and Southern Coffey County High’s girls are the tops seeds in the Class 1A, Division II sub-state tournament, host-

ed by Allen Community College. Both have first-round byes.

On the boys’ side, Crest (14-5) will take on the winner of Altoona-Midway (0-19) or Elk Valley (2-16) next Friday. Second seed Chetopa (13-6) will face third-seed Southern Coffey County (5-14) in the other semi-final.

The Lady Titans (7-12) will face either Crest (2-17) or Altoona-Midway (0-19) in the semifinal next Thursday. Chetopa (6-14) and Elk Valley (3-15) are in the other semifinal.

Mother Nature’s wrath erased a slate of basketball games tonight for Iola and other area schools. The Mustangs and Fillies were to have played tonight in Osawatomie.

Meanwhile, Marma-ton Valley, Crest and Yates Center also had games snowed out due to the ongoing snow storm

Wintry weather also has sidelined Al-len Community Col-lege’s baseball and softball teams. The Red Devils softball team was to have trav-eled to Maplewoods Community College for a doubleheader today. Another home doubleheader Sat-urday against Mus-catine also has been canceled.

No makeup date for the Maplewoods games has been de-cided. The Muscatine twinbill will not be rescheduled.

The baseball team’s doubleheader today at Oklahoma Wesleyan has been canceled as well.
