GARNETT — Lee Brock Moody, who served as a depu-ty under Allen County Sheriff Robbie Atkins for 20 months up through Oct. 7, 2002, plead-ed guilty in District Court here April 22 to giving his teenage son steroids and sell-ing the performance enhanc-ing drug from his now-closed business.

His plea was to charges of aggravated endangerment of a child, manufacture of ste-roids and distribution of ste-roids, the Anderson County Review reported. Moody’s plea came as part of an agreement with Anderson County At-torney Brandon Jones, which included dismissal of about 40 other drug-related charges.

Moody will be sentenced June 10. Jones said terms of the plea agreement included a sentence of 30 days in jail and three years probation.

The criminal case against Moody dates to the fall of 2012, when Moody and his brother, Phillip Moody, were arrested after a domestic disturbance.

Police officers later said the brothers procured compounds for anabolic steroids from foreign suppliers, including those in China, and manufac-tured, packaged and sold fin-ished drugs from the former jujitsu academy Brock Do Ju-jitsu in Garnett.

The academy closed in 2011.Further, according to the

By RICHARD LUKENrichard@iolaregister.comIola High School’s foren-

sics team is striving for some repeat success this weekend, even if it is unscripted.

With seniors Cody Cokely and Colton Schubert, Iola has the defending state champion in improvised duet acting, an exercise in which the per-formers are given 30 minutes to develop a skit from charac-ters, settings and situations they’ve been presented.

Cokely and Schubert are part of Iola’s full roster of competitors who will be in Topeka Saturday for the State Speech and Drama Champion-ships. On Friday, a group of IHS thespians will be in Kan-sas City, Kan., for the state one-act competition.

“The thing about IDA is it all depends on that day,” in-

structor and forensics team adviser Regina Chriestenson said. “Nothing is guaranteed.”

In order to repeat, Schubert and Cokely will have to over-come a talented crop of per-formers from across the state. Their toughest competitors, however, may well be their schoolmates.

Also entering IDA submis-sions are sophomores Trilby Bannister and Emma Piaz-za, who had the audience in stitches with their portray-als of Big Bird and a stalker pen salesman; senior Jordan Strickler and junior Michael Wilson; and freshmen Zach St. Clair and Olivia Bannister.

Iola’s bevy of performers extends far beyond the world of improv.

weather that moved into Kansas Wednesday and is forecast to linger, forced reschedule of Saturday’s Youth Shoot, a function of the local National Wild Turkey Federation chapter.

“We looked at the fore-cast and decided it was best to wait for better weather,” said Steve Barlow, regional NWTF director.

The event will be on land owned by Craig Abbott about a mile northeast of Carlyle.

Youths will have oppor-tunities to shoot B-B guns, bows and arrows, .22 cali-ber rifles and shotguns.

It will be more than just a day for target shooting, Barlow said.

“The kids will receive safety instruction” before any hands-on use, Barlow

said.The event is open to

youths 5 to 18, but they must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Lunch will be provided and prizes will be given.

A requirement before participation is for each child to join the NWTF’s Jakes group, which has a mission to encourage and educate kids about hunt-ing and the outdoors. Cost is $10.

A jake is a young tom tur-key.

Barlow said NWTF is aware of how closely hunt-ing has been associated with U.S. history and many of the programs it spon-sors, including the Youth Shoot, are designed to pre-serve Americans’ hunting heritage.

The Marmaton Valley High Forensics team has qualified for nationals, but that is only half of the process — now they need to raise the money.

“We need about $6,000 for everyone,” Forensics super-visor Julie Tholen said. Six students will travel to Phili-adelphia for the competition on May 23.

The team has organized a benefit auction and dinner on Tuesday to raise money for the trip.

Set for the MVHS commons area for 5 p.m., the team will have a pulled-pork dinner pre-pared. The auction begins at 7 p.m. with Leon Thompson as auctioneer.

Tickets are $8 at the door, or may be purchased in advance from any of the Forensics stu-dents.

Eric Trickey, 40, rural Iola, was arrested Tues-day afternoon following a traffic accident just north of Iola on old U.S. 169.

Trickey was taken into custody by Kansas Highway Patrol Trooper Mike Thweatt for driv-ing while his driver’s license was suspended, possession of metham-phetamine and driving

while under the influ-ence of drugs.

Allen County Un-dersheriff Jerry Dan-iels and Deputy Derek McVey assisted Thweatt and investigated the traf-fic accident, in which Trickey’s mini van went left of center, sideswiped a vehicle, ran off the road and hit a tree. No one was injured.

Elijah Grover will en-ter their duet acting piece, “Wizard of Oz” — Coyne is Dorothy while Grover is the rest of the central characters. Senior classmates Dani-elle Venter and Jordan Garcia will portray an estranged couple going through an uproarious session with “The Mar-riage Counselor.”

Trilby Bannister re-turns to the stage with her humorous solo act-ing piece “The Broth-ers Grimm Spectacu-lathon: Snow White,” a twisted variation of the fairy tale. Sophomore

Madison Luken will portray a confidence-challenged monster and his trash-talking nem-esis from outer space in “Alien Monster Bowling League.”

The entries aren’t all humorous.

Danielle Venter’s haunting portrayal of a battered girlfriend is Iola’s only serious solo acting entry, “Leslie’s Journal.”

And then there’s the speaking.

Schubert’s “Dad-dy’s Little Girl,” Drew Smith’s “Trevor” and Strickler’s “Of Mice And Men” are entered

in oral interpretation of prose.

Catherine Venter’s “Cinderella” and Au-drea Stahl’s “Local An-esthesia” are entered in oral interpretation of poetry.

Abbey St. Clair, meanwhile, offers up a pair of speaking en-tries. She has an infor-mative piece of surviv-ing in the wilderness in Alaska, and an extem-poraneous speaking en-try in which she must develop an informative speech shortly after be-ing given the topic.

Iola’s squad has a healthy mixture of ex-

perience and youth, Chriestenson noted. Thirteen of the 23 per-formers going to state have performed at the state level before.

FRIDAY’S ONE-ACT piece, “The Katrina Project: Hell and High Water,” examines life in the Gulf Coast — particularly New Or-leans — before, dur-ing and after the 2005 arrival of Hurricane Katrina. Performing are Justin Baker, Ab-bey and Zach St. Clair, Stahl, Michaela Ingle, Katie Terhune, Luken and Judd Wiltse.

H VariationsContinued from A1

blink of an eye. As the story opens,

Dr. Brandt’s daughter, Clara Brandt, has just learned her mother has Lou Gehrig’s disease be-fore the mother departs for Bonn, Germany, to examine Beethoven’s ancient sketches.

“Who knows what state I’ll be in a few months,” Dr. Brandt says to her daughter as they argue whether she should make the long journey.

Clara has an integral part in the drama as well. She has taken a liking to her mother’s nurse, Mike Clark, and must balance the weight of a dying mother with the confusion of young love.

As the drama unfolds between the daughter and mother, so does the drama between Beethoven and his pub-lisher, Anton Diabelli. While turned down at first, Diabelli has con-vinced Beethoven to contribute a variation on his Diabelli Waltz to a large volume of 50 dif-ferent variations. Much to Diabelli’s dismay, Beethoven has his own plans for the variations and they begin to take on a life of their own.

“I don’t know why he

is behaving this way,” Di-abellie says at one point to Beethoven’s assistant, Anton Schindler. “Is this why he took the compo-sition, to mock me?”

As the action of the play moves to Bonn, the drama between all of the characters unfolds. The tension between mother and daughter — Beethoven’s manic behavior with Diabelli — and the renowned composer’s motivation to obsess over a “trifling piece of music” all take root as both Beethoven’s and Brandt’s health take a turn for the worse.

Through her re-search, along with the help of Dr. Gertrude Ladenburger, Brandt makes some startling revelations about Beethoven’s work — but, not before she makes some revelations about herself, and her daugh-ter who has just joined her in Germany.

THE CAST of “33 Variations” has some tough material to work with throughout the play — death, intimacy, relationships, trust and obsession — but they convincingly express the struggle of their characters.

Alexis Hosack, as Dr. Brandt, makes the audi-

ence feel her pain as she struggles with her ter-minal illness. But, she also makes them feel her passion as she investi-gates the composer she has dedicated her life to understanding.

And Emmaline Du-rand, as Clara Brandt, can portray the frustra-tion of a daughter who is trying to connect with her estranged mother. She and Mike Lowder, as the love interest, shine as two people who strug-gle to balance their rela-tionship and the weight of Dr. Brandt’s impend-ing death.

One can easily tell Archie Huskey, as Lud-wig Van Beethoven, has prepared in-full for his performance. The composer, who borders between madness and genius, is acted to pains-taking perfection by Huskey — often evoking a comedic element to his performance, along with the discomfort of a man whose passions border on obsession.

Matthew Wynn, as Anton Diabelli, shows he can handle a tough character whose frus-trations aren’t always recognized by the mad composer. He also must deal with Beethoven’s assistant, Anton Schindler, played by

Michael De Los Santos. De Los Santos bears a heavy load as the assis-tant, who must appease both his master, and the publisher who is push-ing him to release the material.

Kaycee Baise acts as the nurse as well, who must deal with the ail-ing Dr. Brandt’s real-izations about her own health.

NONE OF THE dra-ma would be as effec-tive without the help of the play’s musical additions, provided by the ever-so-talented Ted Clous.

His piano, set in the middle of the stage, serves as much more then musical back-ground. Clous, who must tackle some of Beethoven’s most com-plicated works, adds to the story as the audi-ence can hear the exact pieces the characters are discussing on-stage. The combination of timeless music, dra-matic twists and turns, along with tough sub-ject material, adds up to a play that should not be missed.

The play opens to-night at 7:30 and runs through Saturday at the Allen Community Col-lege Theatre.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — The top federal pros-ecutor in Kansas said Wednesday that if law enforcement officials violate someone’s civil rights while investigat-ing terrorism, then the government becomes as bad as the people it’s trying to protect the public from.

U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom made the com-ments during a Wichita State University event commemorating Law Day in Kansas. Gris-som’s talk was about protecting public safe-ty and human rights. The audience consisted mostly of students.

It is easy to protect everybody if you lock everybody up and take away their rights to le-gal counsel and rights to protection against s e l f - i n c r i m i n at i o n , Grissom said. But you have to protect those civil liberties while at the same time pursu-ing aggressive prosecu-tions, he said.

“If we engage in that kind of conduct, we are as bad as the people we are trying to protect you from,” Grissom said.

Grissom told the more than 30 students who attended the event that the government monitors hate groups such as white suprema-cists without violating anyone’s rights.

Many of these ex-tremists groups have websites that are moni-tored, he said. He cited as an example Inspire magazine, an English-language online pub-lication produced by al-Qaida’s Yemen affili-ate. The magazine has endorsed lone-wolf ter-ror attacks.

“Do not go to this website. You will be on our list,” Grissom told the students.

Grissom also said that, to his knowledge, the federal government has not used the USA Patriot Act in Kansas. The 2001 law lets the government put roving wiretaps on U.S. citi-zens’ phones with a se-cret court order and ob-tain other personal and financial records with no judicial approval.

Grissom oversees about 49 assistant U.S. attorneys in Kansas. He was nominated by President Barack Obama in 2010.

U.S. Attorney touts civil rights

With state lawmakers on break until Monday, there are a lot of unknowns sur-rounding what next year’s budget will look like. Given the massive tax reductions put in place last year, it won’t be pretty for any entity sup-ported by state funding.

Institutions of higher learning are feeling particu-larly singled out. According to a flyer from Fort Hays State University, higher education cuts account for 40 percent of all the cuts proposed for 2014 and 2015.

“Did we make somebody mad?” asked Kansas Board of Regents member Christine Downey-Schmidt. “Why are we such a target?”

Board member Robba Mo-ran, formerly from Hays, la-mented: “I know there are

states that are increasing their higher education bud-gets right now. I’m having a really hard time with a sup-posed ‘pro-growth’ philoso-phy.”

That pro-growth approach being pushed by Gov. Sam Brownback and fellow con-servatives in the Legislature is code for starving state government and hoping for an economic miracle. For colleges and universities at-tempting to prepare the next

generation of skilled employ-ees and leaders, the decreases could result in larger class sizes, fewer offerings and higher tuition. That hardly appears to be a successful formula for recruiting or re-taining students, let alone preventing them from fleeing immediately upon gradua-tion.

Still, legislators are hav-ing trouble making ends meet with the loss of reve-nue caused by last year’s tax

cuts. Still to be resolved in the Statehouse is the upcom-ing budget, which has at least three competing plans in play. The Senate version would cut higher education spending by 2 percent, which would result in $700,000 less for Fort Hays State. The House proposal cuts deeper, with FHSU re-ceiving $2.5 million less. Only the governor’s budget main-tains higher education spend-ing at current levels.

Naturally, that is the budget being endorsed by the Board of Regents and member in-stitutions. FHSU President Edward Hammond is urging citizens to contact their law-makers to adopt the gover-nor’s plan.

Unfortunately, the gover-nor’s plan merely transfers the cuts to other entities. It

also requires a permanent ex-tension of the existing higher sales tax rate to pay for it. Un-less the Legislature decides otherwise, the 6.3 percent state sales tax rate is sup-posed to drop to 5.7 percent this summer. And the $300 million-plus that 0.6 percent generates is needed to plug holes in the “pro-growth” budget. ...

Fort Hays State and others are trapped in a corner on this one. The lesser of three evils, from their perspective, is the governor’s plan. Yet none of them are good for the state overall. ...

Perhaps our elected leaders believe FHSU can continue doing more with less. It can’t. Nor can the rest of the state. ...

~ Journalism that makes a difference

The U.S. prison in Guan-tanamo Bay, Cuba, long has been a stain on our reputa-tion for democracy.

The 166 prisoners there have been denied their due process of law. True, the numbers are significantly down from 800 when then-President George W. Bush opened the prison to house alleged terrorists starting after Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.

When President Barack Obama first took office in 2009 he pledged Gitmo’s closing forthwith. Obama has reduced the number from 240 in his four-plus years. Of the remaining, only a handful have been charged with any crime or legal violation.

His initial proposal to move the detainees to a U.S. maximum security prison was rejected by Congress, even though one in Thom-son, Ill., sat empty. For some reason the foreigners — all deemed low threats — seemed more dangerous than U.S. ax murderers.

Further complications, set by Obama himself, in-clude detainees could not be released if their home countries had questionable security measures, such as Yemen, which is a hotbed of Islamist fundamentalism. Yemen is home to 56 of the detainees. That stipulation arose out of the attempted underwear bombing of the Detroit-bound airliner on Christmas in 2009. The per-petrator was Yemenese.

In its only concession to Obama, Congress granted a

case-by-case review for the detainees. Instead, Obama has pulled back entirely from the issue, leaving the detainees in an intolerable limbo.

HUNGER STRIKES by 100 of the detainees are drawing international at-tention to their plight. They fear, rightly, they have dropped off the world’s ra-dar and will be left to rot on the isolated tip of Cuba, a U.S. naval base — long abandoned — since 1903.

Twenty-one of the strik-ers are being force-fed with a tube inserted through their nostrils.

Conditions in the prison are dire. An estimated $200 million in immediate con-struction has been deemed necessary to repair deterio-rating facilities.

For 10 years detainees have lived in makeshift bar-racks in intolerable condi-tions with indefinite deten-tions.

CONGRESS needs to make a commitment to close the prison. The re-strictions on transferring prisoners to the United States need to be lifted. De-tainees who pose no threat need to be allowed to repa-triate to their countries. And those who are sus-pected of criminal activity need to have their day in a federal criminal court.

If not, the United States stands guilty of human rights violations.

— Susan Lynn

Gitmo a stain onU.S. reputation

Dear editor,As Bob Johnson put it, Kan-

sas truly lost an icon with the passing of Emerson Lynn. Be-fore the days of email and the Internet, when all state poli-ticians got what was called a “clipping service” with copies of editorials from around the state, the editorials that Emer-son wrote were always promi-nently featured as not only well-reasoned opinions, but as “opinion leaders” across the state. It was always very satis-fying to me to read those and to know that someone from our area, someone I knew personally, was so highly re-garded across the state and in many different parts of the country.

In so many ways Emerson put Iola more prominently on the map and brought many political leaders to town to

seek his wise counsel. It was a pleasure working with him on several state issues during the time that Mike Hayden served as our governor and most par-ticularly on the highway plan.

Iola has reaped the benefits of a strong and vibrant lo-cally owned daily newspaper, with strong journalistic eth-ics and standards, for many generations now and that is something that a community doesn’t fully appreciate un-less they don’t have it. I want to offer a strong “thank you” to Emerson and his family for keeping the Iola Register ownership right here in town and as an integral part of the community fabric. He will be missed and well remembered.

Letter to the editor

WASHINGTON — It’s never a good sign for a president when he feels compelled to as-sure the public he still has a pulse.

This is the unenviable po-sition President Obama was in Tuesday morning when he held a news conference in the White House briefing room and faced a profusion of ques-tions about the stalled pieces of his legislative program. Asked by ABC News’ Jona-than Karl whether he still had “the juice to get the rest of your agenda through,” Obama paraphrased Mark Twain’s response to a newspaper’s re-port that he was near death.

“You know, rumors of my demise may be a little exag-gerated,” Obama said.

Back in 1995, Bill Clinton as-sured Americans that he was still relevant; this may be the first time a president asserted that he was still alive.

One hundred days into his second term, Obama has al-ready lost control of the agen-da, if he ever had control in the first place. He ricocheted through his news conference, as he has through his presi-dency recently, between issues and crises not of his choice.

He was asked about unrest in Syria, the September at-tack on American officials in Libya, the bombing in Boston, troubles implementing his health care law and difficulty closing the military prison at Guantanamo Bay. Karl pointed out that Obama’s gun-control legislation collapsed, that his attempts to undo the “seques-

ter” cuts have been ignored and that 92 House Democrats defied his veto threat on a cy-bersecurity bill.

“Well, if you put it that way, Jonathan, maybe I should just pack up and go home,” Obama replied. “Golly.”

The president was out of sorts from the start of the news conference, scheduled for 10:15 a.m. and postponed to 10:30. Obama finally came out at 10:46. “Good afternoon,” he said. “Or good morning.”

He didn’t attempt to set the tone for the event, skipping an opening statement. And he often found himself remark-ing on the difficulty of his job: intelligence sharing (“this is hard stuff ”), closing Gitmo (“it’s a hard case to make”), Republican governors block-ing his health care law’s im-plementation (“that makes it harder”) and responding in Syria (“it is a difficult prob-lem”).

IF THERE WAS a common theme to the president’s many troubles, it was an uncoop-erative Congress. “Right now things are pretty dysfunc-tional up on Capitol Hill,” he observed. As an example, he mentioned the legislation — which he signed into law — to end flight delays caused by the sequester’s furloughs of air-traffic controllers by shifting money from airport repairs and improvements. “In order to avoid delays this summer, we’re going to ensure delays for the next two or three de-cades,” he said.

“Why’d you go along with it?” Karl asked.

Some in the room chuckled. Obama didn’t. “You seem to suggest that somehow these folks over there have no re-sponsibilities, and that my job is to somehow get them to behave,” he said. “That’s their job. ... I cannot force Republi-

cans to embrace those com-mon-sense solutions.”

Obama is correct about the dysfunction, and the difficulty of passing even uncontrover-sial bills. But his stance was frustratingly passive, as if what happens in Congress is out of his hands. It’s the presi-dent’s job to lead, and to bang heads if necessary. Obama seemed oddly like a spectator, as if he had resigned himself to a reactive presidency.

In response to questions from Fox News’ Ed Henry, Obama offered some non-committal thoughts on how he would respond to the Syr-ian regime’s use of chemical weapons (he would “rethink the range of options”).

Obama later told CBS’ Bill Plante that he had to keep the Guantanamo prison open be-cause “Congress determined that they would not let us close it.” And, in response to a question from NBC’s Chuck Todd, the president found himself dismissing lawmak-ers such as Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus as “nervous and anx-ious” doubters because Bau-cus warned that implementa-tion of Obamacare could be a “huge train wreck.”

After fielding questions from the five TV networks, Obama gave the last ques-tion to a Chilean journalist, Antonieta Cadiz, perhaps hop-ing that she would ask about immigration. She did — but, even then, Obama answered as if he were a bystander.

“I’ve been impressed by the work that was done by the Gang of Eight in the Sen-ate,” he said, also vowing to be “open-minded in seeing what they come up with” in the House.

Open-mindedness is nice. But lively leadership is the way to resuscitate a moribund presidency.

‘Pro-growth’ is code for starving state government

That pro-growth approach being pushed by Gov. Sam Brownback and fellow conservatives in the Legislature is code for starving state government and hoping for an economic miracle.

DENISE LAVOIEAssociated Press

BOSTON (AP) — Just hours before one of the Boston Marathon sus-pects and his brother allegedly gunned down a campus police officer, authorities say he ex-changed a series of text messages with a friend who’d become suspi-cious after seeing what looked like a familiar face being flashed on television.

Dias Kadyrbayev, a student at the Univer-sity of Massachusetts Dartmouth, texted his college buddy Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, saying he looked like one of the bombing suspects.

“Tsarnaev’s return texts contained ‘lol’ and other things Kady-rbayev interpreted as jokes such as ‘you better not text me’ and ‘come to my room and take what-ever you want,’” an FBI agent wrote in an affida-vit.

Those texts set off a series of events that on Wednesday led to Kadyr-bayev and his roommate Azamat Tazhayakov, natives of Kazakhstan, being charged with conspiring to destroy emptied fireworks and other evidence linking their friend to the dead-ly April 15 blasts. Robel Phillipos, who gradu-ated from Cambridge Rindge and Latin High School with Tsarnaev in 2011, was charged with lying to investiga-tors about the April 18 visit to his friend’s dorm room to retrieve the items.

Tazhayakov also told authorities that during a meal about a month be-fore the terror attacks, Tsarnaev informed him and Kadyrbayev “that he knew how to make a bomb.” That is sig-nificant because, before he was advised of his rights not to speak with

authorities, the 19-year-old bombing suspect allegedly said that his older brother had only recently recruited him to be part of the attack.

Three people were killed and more than 260 wounded on April 15 when two bombs explod-ed near the marathon’s finish line. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, died af-ter a gunfight with po-lice days later. Younger brother Dzhokhar was captured and remains in a prison hospital.

According to the FBI account, just hours af-ter surveillance cam-era photos of the two suspects were flashed around the world April 18, Tsarnaev’s friends suspected he was one of the bombers and re-moved the backpack along with a laptop from Tsarnaev’s room at UMass Dartmouth.

One of them later threw the backpack in the garbage, and it wound up in a landfill, where it was discovered by law enforcement offi-cers last week, authori-ties said. In the back-pack were fireworks that had been emptied of

their gunpowder.Investigators have not

said whether the pres-sure cooker bombs used in the attacks were made with gunpowder extract-ed from fireworks.

The lawyers for the Kazakh students said their clients had nothing to do with the bombing

and were just as shocked by the crime as everyone else. Phillipos’ attorney, Derege Demissie, said outside court: “The only allegation is he made a misrepresentation.”

The Kazakh students did not request bail at a court hearing and will be held for another hear-ing May 14. Phillipos was held for a hearing on Monday. If convicted, Kadyrbayev and Tazhay-akov could get up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Phillipos faces a maximum of eight years behind bars and a $250,000 fine.

The mother of the Tsarnaev brothers has said the allegations against her sons are lies.

Kadyrbayev and Tazhayakov have been in jail for more than a week on allegations they were in violation of their student visas, one because he was skipping classes, the other because he was no longer enrolled.

Tazhayakov was al-lowed to return to the U.S. from Kazakhstan in January despite not having a valid student visa.

Humboldt’s Rhett Smith takes first at Neodesha — B4IMS golfers wrap up 2013 season in Chanute — B4

By RICHARD LUKENrichard@iolaregister.comBURLINGTON — Iola

High’s Fillies had more than their opponents to contend with Tuesday afternoon.

With a strong south breeze, runners in practically every event were negatively affect-ed, Iola coach Marvin Smith said.

“With a fully automatic timing system, you can’t move things around,” he said. “The sprinters and hur-dlers ran directly into the wind.”

Even with the gusts, Iola still was able to pull in sev-eral top finishes.

Breanna Stout took home gold in the pole vault, clear-ing 8 feet, 7 inches, a bronze in the javelin, throwing 101’1” and bronze as a mem-ber of the 4x100-meter re-lay team, along with Emery Driskel, Cassie Delich and Ashley Campbell. Campbell, meanwhile, was edged out by Anderson County’s Alexan-dra Garbarino in the 200-me-ter dash, losing by less than a tenth of a second. Abigail Taylor also earned a bronze in the 3200-meter run, with a personal-best time of 12 min-utes, 30.6 seconds.

“Even with the wind,” Smith noted.

The Fillies had several other performances of note.

Freshman Olivia Ban-nister set a personal-best mark of 14’6” in the long jump, even though “I do not remember the last time we got to practice that event,” Smith said.

Valaree Burtnett also took ninth in the pole vault at 6’7”, not a personal best, “but

good for how little we have practiced.”

Smith also praised Taylor, who gave up a certain medal in the 1600-meter run in or-der to help with the 4x800-meter relay. She ran with three “rookies” — Olivia and Trilby Bannister and Shan-non Vogel. The squad fin-ished ninth.

“We could have dropped the relay, but we subbed Tay-lor so the others could run,” Smith said.

Sophomore Emery Driskel, coming back from injury, took fifth in the 100-meter hurdles but did not race in the 300-meter hurdles or the 4x400-meter relay.

MOUND CITY — Marmaton Valley Junior High seventh-grader Makayla Brooks capped an undefeated track season in the 200-meter dash Tuesday. Her winning time of 28.61 sec-onds was the best at the Three Rivers League Tournament.

In all, Brooks earned four gold medals in all four events she entered as the Wildcat seventh-graders easily won the team title. Her classmates Shelby Yoho and Kyla Drake were three-time gold medal-ists as well. Brooks and Drake took home gold in 17 of the 24 events they entered, Coach Scott Brady said.

Both Wildcat girls teams won the league championship, while the Marmaton Valley boys finished in third.

Crest also hauled in plenty of gold at the meet, winning the seventh-grade boys divi-sion. Leading the way was Gage Adams, who won three gold medals for the Lancers.

BURLINGTON — Marvin Smith couldn’t help but feel a little guilty Tuesday by the time the boys 4x400-meter relay team neared the starting line.

The 4x400 is traditionally the final event of the day at high school track and field events. Tuesday’s Burlington Invitational was no different.

As such, two of the relay team members, Jacob Harri-son and Tyler McIntosh, had plenty of idle time. Both are nursing injuries and were held out of other events Tuesday.

Meanwhile, “we ran the wheels off of Tyler Powel-son,” noted Smith, IHS head coach. “It allowed us to get a good race.”

Powelson led the way for the Mustangs with a gold medal in the 1600-meter run and nab-bing two fourth-place finishes,

including the 4x400.Powelson also was fourth

in the 800-meter run, a race he completed less than 30 minutes before lining up for the relay.

In winning the gold, amid windy conditions, Powelson fin-ished in 4 minutes, 42.28 seconds.

“It’s not a personal best, but it may have been his best race,” Smith said.

Meanwhile, Michael Wilson took home a silver medal in the pole vault, clearing 11 feet, 8 inches, the same height as what was cleared by the win-ner. Wilson, however, was rele-gated to second because of the number of previous misses.

In other highlights for Iola, Adam Kauth took fourth in the 300-meter hurdles and sev-enth in the 110-meter hurdles.

The wind played a factor in Kauth’s hurdle races. Because he was racing directly into the wind, Kauth had to alternate

his lead leg, which slowed his momentum considerably, Smith said.

Jeremy Spears took fifth in the 3200-meter run, while Eli Grover placed seventh in the shot put at 41’1”. He missed a medal by one-half inch.

Mustang medalists make mark

Mother Nature has hit the local sports scene again with a vengeance.

The Class 4A Regional Tennis Tournament, sched-uled to begin today in Inde-pendence, has been pushed back to Friday, weather per-mitting. The tournament will wrap up Saturday.

Iola High’s baseball and softball teams were sched-uled to begin play in the Pio-neer League Tournament this evening. Those games have since been pushed back to Monday. The tournament will wrap up Tuesday.

In addition, Iola’s junior varsity games at Wellsville

Friday have been canceled and will not be made up.

The Crest Invitational Track Meet, scheduled for this afternoon at Iola’s Riv-erside Park, also has been called off and will not be made up.

Marmaton Valley’s base-ball and softball games today against Oswego have been postponed.

Mike McEwan, athletics director at Marmaton Valley, said options are being con-sidered for a make-up date.

Iola Middle School’s track meet in Chanute also has been called off, ending the Ponies’ season.

UNIONTOWN — Courtney Richey’s no-hitter highlighted another doubleheader sweep Wednesday for Humboldt High’s softball team.

Richey struck out 11 while allowing nary a hit or walk over six innings in a 10-0 win over host Uniontown.

The win came after Hum-boldt fended off the Lady Ea-gles 6-4 in the opener.

“These were two good wins against a quality team,” Hum-boldt coach Brad Piley said. “It was another awesome night on the mound for Court-ney.”

The games were pushed up a day to beat the incoming winter storm.

Humboldt took advantage in

the opener, leading 4-0 after 3 1/2 innings before Uniontown responded with two in the bot-tom of the fourth. Humboldt pushed its lead to 5-2 before the Lady Eagles scored two more in the sixth. The Lady Cubs added an insurance run in the top of the seventh.

Brook Turner went the dis-tance for Humboldt, allowing eight hits and one walk in seven innings. She struck out three.

At the plate, Richey had two singles and a triple with two stolen bases and an RBI. Me-gan Hudlin had two singles, a stolen base and RBI. Breanna Kline had a single and two doubles with two stolen bases. Turner had a single, stolen

base and RBI. Morgan Mor-ris had a single and two RBIs. Kasey Beeman singled. Jaci Ross had a single and RBI. Me-gan Herder doubled.

HUMBOLDT SCORED in every inning of the second game, more than enough for Richey.

Richey aided her own cause with two singles and a triple with an RBI. Beeman added two singles and a double with three RBIs. Hudlin had two singles, a stolen base and two RBIs. Kayle Riebel had a sin-gle, triple and two RBIs. Kline added a single, while Turner had one RBI. Delaney Umholtz chipped in with a single and RBI.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Kansas attorney general says Kansas residents turned in a re-cord five tons of unused medications in the Na-tional Drug Take-Back Day.

Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt says law enforcement officials collected about 10,000 pounds of medi-cations at 101 locations across the state during the event Saturday.

The event was spon-sored nationwide by the federal Drug Enforce-ment Administration, which collects and then destroys the medica-tions.

The DEA noted medi-cines that languish in home cabinets can be misused, and discard-ing them in the trash or sewer systems can cre-ate health hazards.

Since the program’s inception in 2010, Kan-sas has collected 17 tons of unused medications.

Kansans return five tons of meds

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.

Public notice

Dear Carolyn: I am very recently married to a man I have dated for several years and am very happy. One of my brides-maids, “Courtney,” said she was upset because she always assumed she would be married by 25.

About a month before my wedding, she met a guy who was about to be deployed. They had a whirlwind romance, he deployed, they kept in touch and now it is six months later and she is telling me he is “the one.”

Now, I believe that when you know, you know, but there are all sorts of red flags that she is ignoring. My husband and I have spent time with him, and it turns out he is recently divorced — as in, he divorced his wife less than a year after marrying her, and he met “Courtney” before his di-vorce was even final. He met her less than a year after he married another woman!

They also do not com-

municate well, and he doesn’t attempt to get along with her friends. Other than the few weeks he has spent with her while on leave, he has

been across the world and they have been commu-nicating by Skype when they can. Now they are talking about rings!

When I mention my hesitation about him to my friend, she gets of-fended. She thinks my dislike of him is because I am recently married, and I’m biased against a divorced man. She is par-tially right — I do think that divorcing somebody less than a year after marrying them indicates bad judgment in the first place, but there are other

problems with him, as well.

Do I keep my mouth shut and let her be a big girl and make her own decisions? How often, if at all, am I allowed to say I disagree that he is “the one”? What is my respon-sibility as her friend in this situation? — He’s Not the One.

Answer: Such scram-bling for self-validation, it’s making me dizzy.

Not just hers — you’re doing it, too.

She’s throwing togeth-er a marriage to affirm her worth in her own eyes, and you’re wrapping yourself in your carefully considered marriage to affirm your worth in your own eyes.

You are clearly closer to maturity than she is, but I also don’t think ei-ther of you has the end in your sights.

That’s because the proof you’re there is the realization that plenty of carefully considered marriages implode, too.

Likewise, some pairings that you’re sure will end in calamity surprise ev-eryone, and stay solidly on the rails.

That hers is a red-flag-gy, rushed, long-distance entanglement with a (clutch pearls) freshly di-vorced man does suggest they’ll hit trouble, but “suggest” is not “guaran-tee.” The worst thing you can do for your friend, or your marriage, or your-self, is get smug about the soundness of your choic-es as compared with hers.

The best thing? Any-thing that doesn’t come across as foundation work for an I-told-you-so. If and only if you see warning signs of abuse (“The Gift of Fear,” de Becker, Chap-ter 10) instead of just warning signs of lousy judgment, then alert her to specifics without judg-ing her.

Otherwise, unless she asks your opinion, just love her and root for her. There’s more than one path to a good place.

Skeptic of marriage shows own flaws

ST. CLOUD, Minn. (AP) — A man is accused of pretending to be a member of rock band Pink Floyd at a Min-nesota hospital — and racking up as much as $100,000 in unpaid medi-cal bills.

Police say the 53-year-old Monticello man went to St. Cloud Hospital for treatment April 20. He claimed he was Pink Floyd singer-guitarist David Gilmour and that he didn’t have health in-surance. He was treated and released, but not before signing an auto-graph.

The St. Cloud Times says hospital security was suspicious about the man’s identity and his medical records were flagged. The man returned for more treat-ment several days later and, confronted by po-lice, admitted he wasn’t Gilmour.

IMS track team competes

FORT SCOTT — It was only a bit of salve on an otherwise tough season, but Allen Com-munity College’s base-ball team ended 2013 on a bright note.

Behind Nate Ar-nold’s complete-game shutout, the Red Devils edged host Fort Scott, 1-0.

The win was the only victory in the four-game series Sunday and Monday for ACC. Fort Scott won the first three games, 7-2, 13-1 and 8-0.

Allen’s only run in the finale came with a two-out rally in the top of the third. Troy Wil-loughby singled, stole second and scored on Arnold’s infield single.

Arnold scattered eight hits on the mound with two walks and sev-en strikeouts.

Willoughby, Arnold, Trey Francis and Cody Amerine had singles

for Allen.

MONDAY’S opener featured a three-hit shutout by Fort Scott pitcher John Lynch. The Greyhounds chipped away at Allen starter Seth Jones be-fore erupting for four runs in the sixth.

Jones allowed 11 hits and a walk with two strikeouts. Willoughby had two singles. Tim Lewis also singled for Allen.

FORT SCOTT opened Sunday with a seven-run second inning, tag-ging Red Devil starter Tanner Lee with the loss. He gave up nine hits and five walks with three strikeouts. Conor Burns pitched one hit-less inning of relief.

Allen’s two runs came in the top of the seventh. Willoughby singled in Amerine. Jer-rik Sigg followed with

an RBI single, driving in Garrett Rasch.

Sigg went 3-for-4, while Amerine singled twice. Willoughby, Lewis and Rasch each singled once.

NEODESHA — The compass continues to point in the right di-rection for Humboldt High’s golfers.

The Cubs were at the Neodesha Invita-tional Tuesday, where Humboldt’s Rhett Smith scored the low-est round of the day. He won a tie-breaker

for first place over Erie’s Hunter Mild-felt, with both shoot-ing a 78.

Meanwhile, Robbie Sellman took home ninth with an 83 as the Cubs corralled seventh place as a team, with a score of 384.

Independence won the team championship

with a 334, the squad’s best mark of the year, head coach Jeff Wilker-son said.

Tanner Porter, 106, and Conner Roseberry, 117, finished 35th and 44th, respectively.

Both improved on their previous marks this season, Wilkerson said.

CHANUTE — Iola Middle School’s golf team finished its 2013 season Wednesday at the Chanute Invitational.

The Ponies earned only a single medal —

Emily Luedke got 10th place in the girls division with her 67 — but that didn’t negate the team’s improvement over the season, head coach Sta-cey Crusinberry said.

“I was very happy with how they played,” she said. “They have made a lot of improve-ments, despite all the practices missed due to poor golfing weather.”

Drake Sell recorded the low round for Iola boys with a 57. Aar-on Terhune and Lu-edke shot 67s. Noah Westervelt carded a 70 and Mea DeLaTorre a 72.

Royster Middle School’s Austin Liudahl of Cha-nute had the low score in the boys division, 40. Gra-cie Lopez, Pittsburg, shot a 51 to lead the girls.

Chanute’s 171 was good for the team title. Iola’s four-person total was 261.
