One week remains for those interested in filing for the two open city council seats.

Seats left open by Mike McKinnis (Ward 3) and Scott Stewart (Ward 1) are to be filled by vote following rec-ommendations by Mayor Joel Wicoff during the May 13 city

council meeting. Applica-tions are available at Iola City Hall for those interest-ed in the position.

McKinnis resigned from his elected position after announcing he was moving from his ward in the near fu-ture, making him ineligible to serve. Stewart stepped down from his position after being hired by the city of Iola.

ANTIQUE AUTOS TUNED TO A ‘T’

Others are Bud Redding, second from left, of Waverly, Larry Tice, in the background, from Burlington, and Terry Messersmith, right, Burlington.

By STEVEN SCHWARTZsteven@iolaregister.comIndividually, they are ac-

tive senior citizens; but, as a collective, the volunteers at Iola Senior Citizens, Inc. have made a huge impact on the community.

A group of eight volunteers met with The Register to dis-cuss just how the thrift shop has grown into something that people can rely on, espe-cially in the hardest of times.

“I think of it as a recycling

center,” Joe Hess said. “It makes people’s money go a lot further.”

The store, which started around 35 years ago near the Iola square, had very meager beginnings. Now, the store brings in over $20,000 a year from sales — which is no small feat, considering the price of the items they sell. Shirts go for about 20 cents and jeans are only around a quarter.

The money received from

sales goes to a specific charity at the end of the year, voted on by the volunteers. Some of the charities include the food pantry, Hope Unlimited, Crime Stoppers, local schools, Adopt-a-Child, St. Timothy’s backpack program, CASA, Court Appointed Special Ad-vocates, and CURB, the Citi-zens Utility Relief Board, to name a few.

Iola seeks candidates for open council seats

By BOB JOHNSONbob@iolaregister.com

Casey Diver knew he had a problem when he serviced his 1926 Model T sedan and the oil came out gray.

That’s a sure sign water had leaked into the block’s oil cham-bers.

A common cause is a blown head gasket, which permits cool-ant in where it isn’t supposed to be.

Saturday morning Diver and several members of the East Central Kansas Ford Model T Club changed out the car’s head gasket. The group held its monthly meeting at Model T Haven, Mark Freimiller’s head-quarters south of Gas.

Diver had had the four-cylin-der engine’s head planed, on the assumption it might had become

warped.Being around a group of car

fanciers and an expert in vin-tage automobiles, some other concerns arose.

Freimiller has rebuilt more of the antique Ford four-cylinder engines than he can remember, which prompted him to point out head bolts sometimes don’t seat completely, resulting in it not being as snug as it should atop the block.

That comes from “gunk” fall-ing in to bolt holes and cushion-ing bolts torqued in place.

“You can have the right amount of torque, but the bolts aren’t tight enough,” Freimiller pointed out.

He illustrated by inserting a drill bit into each hole and with-

McClatchy BureauWASHINGTON — A sur-

prisingly positive jobs report Friday showed that employ-ers added 165,000 positions in April and the unemployment rate fell to a four-year low of 7.5 percent, sparking a day of milestones on Wall Street as investors looked past doubts about robust hiring in the months ahead.

The report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics sent stocks soaring at the open, partly because it exceeded low ex-pectations but also because it included sharp upward revi-sions to February and March job estimates, adding a com-bined 114,000 jobs to those ear-lier tallies.

The S&P 500, an index of the 500 leading publicly trad-ed companies, crossed into record territory shortly af-ter trading opened and never looked back. It finished up 16.83 points to 1,614.42.

Within the first hour of trading, the Dow Jones in-dustrial average crossed the 15,000 barrier for the first time in its long and storied history. It bounced around there all day before closing up 142.38 points to 14,973.96, just short of the important psychologi-cal barrier for investors.

IPD seeks information on stolen tractor

A Savonburg resi-dent told Allen County officers Wednesday he was an apparent target of a scam, with which officers agreed.

The man advertised a car on Craigslist and was contacted by what he thought was a potent buyer in Caramel, N.Y.

After corresponding by email, a check from the supposed buyer came, but was written for $1,500 more than the vehicle’s asking price. A subsequent email said there was a

mistake and asked the Savonburg resident to wire the difference to him.

Smelling the pro-verbial rat, the Allen Countian went to of-ficers, who have initi-ated an investigation and also said it was similar to other efforts to bilk people that have cropped up through In-ternet sites.

Sheriff Bryan Mur-phy gave the age-old warning, if it sounds too good to be true....

It sounded too good to be true...

The 6.5 miles of trail atop old railroad right of way between Iola and Humboldt has been closed to bikers and hikers for the next two to three weeks.

“The county start-ed putting down screenings (fine rock) Wednesday and with all the heavy trucks and equipment on the trail, we think it would

be better for people to stay off,” said Don Burns, one of several Thrive Allen County volunteers who have helped develop the trail the past several months.

Also, Burns said the new surface would need a few days to cure after it’s laid.

BEIRUT (AP) — Isra-el’s weekend airstrike on a military complex near the Syrian capital of Damascus killed at least 42 Syrian soldiers.

Israel’s government has not formally con-firmed involvement in strikes on Syria. How-ever, Israeli officials said the strikes were meant to prevent ad-vanced Iranian weap-ons from reaching Lebanon’s Hezbollah militia, an ally of Syria and foe of Israel.

Israel today signaled a return to “business as usual,” with Prime Min-ister Benjamin Netan-yahu arriving in China for a scheduled visit.

Syria and its patron Iran have hinted at pos-sible retribution over the strikes, though the rhetoric in official statements has been relatively muted.

Iranian Foreign Min-ister Ali Akbar Salehi warned today that Is-rael was “playing with fire,” but gave no other suggestions of pos-

sible consequences, ac-cording to the official Islamic Republic News Agency.

Syria’s government called the attacks a “flagrant violation of international law” that has made the Middle East “more danger-ous.” It also claimed the Israeli strikes proved Israel’s links to rebel groups trying to over-throw Assad’s regime.

Israeli officials have indicated they will keep trying to block what they see as an ef-fort by Iran to send so-phisticated weapons to Lebanon’s Hezbollah militia ahead of a pos-sible collapse of Syr-ian President Bashar Assad’s regime.

Israel has repeatedly threatened to intervene in the Syrian civil war to stop the transfer of what it calls “game-changing” weapons to Hezbollah, a Syri-an-backed group that battled Israel to a stale-mate during a month-long war in 2006.

Israel bombs Syria

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas legislators reconvene this week facing a decision about Gov. Sam Brownback’s plan to stabilize the budget by canceling a scheduled sales tax decrease, and the politi-cal climate appears to be as volatile as the state’s recent weather.

The Republican governor wants the GOP-dominated Legislature to avoid cuts in higher education and follow up massive personal income tax cuts enacted last year with another round of rate reductions. The key to his plan for accomplishing both goals — and preventing bud-get shortfalls over the next five years — is keeping the sales tax at 6.3 percent, rather than letting it drop to 5.7 per-cent on July 1 as planned.

The Senate has embraced Brownback’s proposals on the sales tax and income tax cuts. The House approved legisla-tion letting the sales tax drop, with less aggressive income tax cuts. Legislative negotia-tors had made little progress toward resolving both issues when lawmakers started their break last month.

Republican legislators in-volved in budget and tax is-sues believe a compromise is possible, but such an agree-ment would move away from the governor’s positions. Sev-eral key legislators also said GOP legislators could remain at odds and the Legislature could adjourn without pass-ing a tax bill, leaving a major budget mess for next year.

“We’re willing to negotiate, but we’re just not going to capitulate,” said lead House negotiator Richard Carlson, a St. Marys Republican. “Both sides have to look for compro-mise, but I don’t know what that position is.”

Legislators end their spring break Wednesday, re-turning to the Statehouse to finish a state budget of rough-ly $14.5 billion for the fiscal year beginning July 1 and to complete other business for the year. Republican leaders hope their wrap-up lasts no more than six days, so that the annual session ends in 80 days, 10 fewer than typically scheduled.

Lawmakers also are likely to consider changing educa-tion policy, rewriting state li-quor laws, granting Secretary of State Kris Kobach new power to prosecute election fraud cases and authorizing $202 million in bonds to help finance a new, national bio-security lab in Manhattan.

But settling tax issues for the year — even if legisla-tors walk away — is crucial. House and Senate budget ne-gotiators concede that they can’t finish a spending plan for the next fiscal year with-out knowing how much rev-enue the state is expected to collect.

Brownback pushed for in-come tax cuts last year and wants to eventually phase out personal income taxes to stimulate the economy. But he’s conceded that the state must backfill its budget if it wants to avoid significant cuts to education funding and major programs. Keeping the sales tax at its current rate would provide $258 million in additional revenues during the next fiscal year.

Over the past three weeks,

Brownback has toured state university, community col-lege and technical college campuses to build public support for his budget recom-mendations, keeping higher education funding flat in the face of proposals from law-makers to cut it. Democrats, though supportive of higher education, have criticized the tour as a bait-and-switch campaign to boost support for canceling the sales tax de-crease.

“I just don’t think anybody has a handle on where this ship is headed,” said House Minority Leader Paul Davis, a Lawrence Democrat.

WITH GOP supermajori-ties, there’s no chance that the Legislature will seriously entertain Democrats’ argu-ment that the state ought to rethink last year’s income tax cuts.

Senate Majority Leader Terry Bruce, a Hutchinson Republican, said canceling the sales tax decrease re-mains the cleanest solution.

He expects pressure to build on House Republicans reluc-tant to accept Brownback’s sales tax plan each day of the wrap-up session.

Over the past 25 years, law-makers have felt squeezed at the beginning of each wrap-up to finish their business quickly, sensing that their constituents are frustrated with an inability to finish the work within 90 days.

“At some point, everybody wants to go home and end the session. That’s the biggest motivator,” Bruce said. “At some point, you run out of options.”

Carlson said he expects ne-gotiations over the sales tax rate.

GOP legislators have sug-gested phasing down the rate or letting the tax drop some

in July but not as much as planned, perhaps to 6 percent.

But the plan to drop the tax to 5.7 percent resulted from a budget-balancing agreement three years ago that tempo-rarily boosted the tax under Democrat Gov. Mark Parkin-son.

Democrats have said con-sistently that they won’t break the promise, and House tax negotiator Scott Schwab, an Olathe Republican, said the idea remains a hard sell among GOP representatives.

Budget projections from legislative researchers sug-gest that with no changes in tax laws, the state budget still would be balanced for the next fiscal year, even though future problems would loom. Schwab said the projections would allow legislators to walk away from tax negotia-tions if they don’t appear to be making any progress.

“I don’t think it’s respon-sible, but it’s possible,” he said. “We could end up say-ing, ‘OK, we’re just going to go home’ and punt it.”

~ Journalism that makes a difference

It’s so obvious it hardly needs said. A blow to the head can kill.

Boxers know it. Those who study the martial arts learn never to deliver blows to the head. Contact sports as a whole are getting se-rious review as to how to make them more safe be-cause of a growing aware-ness of brain injuries — some immediate, others long delayed.

SO WHAT’S the right re-action to an out-of-control teenager who delivers a fa-tal punch to a referee? Was that the intent? Surely not.

The 17-year-old goalie went ballistic when the ref-eree gave him a warning for pushing an opponent who was trying to score a point in a soccer game.

Accounts from the po-lice report say the teen got into the ref ’s face and be-gan yelling at him and then punched him in the face.

Initially, the referee said he felt fine, but then expe-rienced dizziness. He sat down and began to vomit blood.

At the hospital, he slipped into a coma with swelling in his brain. A week later, he died.

The teen now faces charges for murder.

Two lives lost to sense-less violence.

MOTHERS AND fathers, teach your children anger management. Show them

how to let off steam in a healthy way. And if they don’t have the proper tem-perament for team sports, don’t let them participate.

“Time out” isn’t just for naughty toddlers. Teach your children to take a few moments before they react to an unpleasant situation. Breathe deeply, count to 10. Walk away.

A simple lesson on the fragility of the brain may also help give reason to pause. The blow to the referee’s head was severe enough to cause internal bleeding around the brain, disrupting the critical sup-ply of oxygen, which led to his death.

Complications can in-clude slipping into a coma, going into a vegetative state, seizures, infections, nerve damage which could result in paralysis, dou-ble vision, blindness, or a whole host of cognitive and behavioral problems including memory, reason-ing, learning, depression, or degenerative brain dis-eases including Alzheim-er’s and Parkinson’s.

In other words, the brain is very sensitive to any kind of trauma, and could, as in the case of the referee, fail completely and cause death.

A BEAUTIFUL after-noon on the soccer field was turned into a field of hor-rors — all so easily avoided.

Tax debate remains volatile

JohnHannaAn AP news analysis

We’re willing to negotiate, but we’re just not going to capitulate. Both sides have to look for com-promise, but I don’t know what that position is.

— Rep. Richard Carlson, St. Marys

“

“

Economic conditions in Eu-rope, especially in troubled nations like Spain, Portugal and Italy, have deteriorated sharply in recent months. Worse, new data released last week provides no hope for a recovery soon. The unemploy-ment rate in the 17 countries that use the euro hit a record of 12.1 percent in March, up from 11 percent a year earlier. In Spain and Greece, more than half of the labor force under 25 is looking for work.

The good news, if it can be called that, is that a bar-rage of negative economic data appears to have stirred European leaders and senior officials at the International Monetary Fund into finally acknowledging that the Con-tinent’s austerity policies are imposing unnecessary pain and suffering on average Eu-ropeans while doing little to lower debts and deficits.

José Manuel Barroso, the president of the European Commission, recently de-clared that austerity “has reached its limits in many respects.” And David Lipton, the first deputy managing di-rector of the I.M.F., recently called on Europe to adopt “more growth-friendly” poli-cies and encouraged the Eu-ropean Central Bank to use unconventional measures like bond purchases to increase credit and stimulate the econ-omy. This awakening is fine as a start. But real change will come when European lead-ers start reversing damaging budget cuts and restructur-ing their fragile banks. That means changing the status quo, no easy task. For starters, countries that use the euro have committed to maintain-ing fiscal deficits no higher than 3 percent of their gross domestic product as part of a “fiscal compact” with one

another. And despite the fact that France, Portugal and sev-eral others are already strug-gling to meet that cap, even af-ter raising taxes and slashing spending, nations like Germa-ny and Finland remain com-mitted to austerity. This is not smart. Enforcing these limits in the middle of a deep reces-sion will not lower labor costs, increase competitiveness and reduce debt. On the contrary, it will simply perpetuate the downward spiral that weaker countries are stuck in and fos-ter widespread anger without providing any meaningful economic payoff.

Meanwhile, a promising effort to deal with troubled banks appears to have been sidetracked or at least slowed. In December, the European Union agreed to centralize the supervision of large banks under the European Central Bank by March 2014 as a first step toward a banking union. But Wolfgang Schäuble, the finance minister of Germany, recently suggested that E.U. members first renegotiate changes to the union’s trea-ties to clearly separate the monetary and supervisory functions of the central bank. Wrangling over technical amendments could easily de-lay the broader effort to put the whole financial system on sounder footing.

At a meeting later this month in Brussels, E.U. lead-ers plan to discuss ways to im-prove the currency union, but they do not anticipate chang-ing basic policies. In fact, ana-lysts expect no major action until after Germany’s national elections in September. The conditions of 26.5 million un-employed Europeans who need help right away should not de-pend on an election that may or may not change anything.

Lynn’s PinsExercise is my stress-buster. Trouble is, I usually end up

hurting myself with doing just one exercise such as running. So over the course of a week I mix things up, incorporat-

ing a couple days of running offset by yoga or using an elliptical machine that doesn’t put any stress on joints, but makes your heart get going.

I’m currently a fan of yoga master Rodney Yee and love his workout for athletes, which e m p h a s i z e s stretching hip flexors and ham-strings — a bane

of runners.I’m also always

looking for good shoes for my injury-prone knees. The Newton running shoe has a sole built to propel you to run more on your toes. So far, so good. And I love the neon colors.

drawing loosened dirt. Compressed air finished the cleaning process.

Freimiller raised an-other possibility.

“Lots of these old blocks are cracked,” he said, which would let coolant ooze into the oil.

He recommended Div-er change oil a couple of times after repairs, once to completely clear the oil system of water and a second time to make sure water still wasn’t present.

A handful of the club’s 62 members, in-cluding spouses, were at Freimiller’s .

“Before, we’ve usually just sat around and talk-ed and ate,” Freimiller said. “We decided we’d try something different and add some mechani-cal stuff, have a hands-on session.”

Bud Redding, Waverly, and Lowell Chambers, Emporia, helped replace Diver’s head gasket.

The club dates to 1991 and in addition to monthly meetings, mem-bers take occasional tours to show off their vintage Fords.

“Having a car is nice, but not as important as

being a club member,” Freimiller noted. “Main-ly, it’s about our common interest in old cars.”

“And we all love to eat and have fellowship,” said Redding.

FREIMILLER, 55, is a source of information like few others.

He restores cars, mostly older ones, in a large shop on acreage that also includes a huge bone yard that often pro-duces parts.

About 100 vehicles a year exit his shop ready for the street. Many are antiques, such as 1923 and 1927 Model T coupes nearing completion, but also newer vehicles.

“I’ve been doing a lot of 1940s Chevy pickups lately,” Freimiller said.

The 1927 coupe was found at Kenesaw, Neb., and was a pile of parts, having been taken apart during World War II with the intention of restoration that never got started.

“Just about every-thing was there except headlights,” Freimiller recalled.

The 1923 coupe came from Clay Center and was the project of a man

who died before its com-pletion.

Beside those two vehi-cles is a Model T frame, with front and rear ends salvaged from Freimill-er’s scrap yard, that he found under a farm wag-on in western Nebraska.

He has been rebuild-ing cars since age 13 and has done so full time since the early 1990s, af-ter losing his job with PC Boards in Chanute.

While original parts are a portion of cars he rebuilds, many repro-duced components also are used.

Freimiller allowed it would be next to impos-sible to find all original parts, especially wooden spokes for wheels and wood framing for bodies.

FOR THOSE who wondered whose red Ford touring car was parked outside St. John’s Parish Hall during a fundraiser for Iola High’s history team and is seen about town occasionally, it is Freimiller’s.

“It’s a 1911 four-pas-senger,” he said, and pointed out that some of the brass parts, polished to a high shine, are origi-nal.

teers involved with the thrift store do work hard, many of them don’t see it as a job by any means.

“What would we do otherwise,” CeCe Hus-ton asked rhetorically.

All of the volunteers are retired, Huston said, with the youngest being 52. The ladies and gentle-men around the table tossed around some of the reasons they are as involved as they are.

“It’s rewarding to get to help others,” Lois Bradford chimed in.

“We’re our best cus-tomers really,” Lorene Butler admitted as the others laughed.

IT HELPS they real-ize the widespread need for inexpensive clothing.

What Joe Hess de-scribed as an “economic disparity” in Allen Coun-ty has had an intense ef-fect on some who have fallen on hard times. He said the thrift store gives them an opportunity to alleviate some of the high costs of living.

“There’s a lot of peo-ple in the community that don’t know about us, however,” Hess said.

But, that doesn’t mean the volunteers have any shortage of donations. Hess said they often-

times have more cloth-ing than they know what to do with.

“We get anything and everything,” Huston said.

It leaves them an op-portunity to have free items for people in emer-

gency situations.“If people have a

house fire, we let them have what they need,” Hess said.

The group said they once received five mice as a donation, via the pockets of some donated jeans. They were also graciously given a bowl of potato peelings by one donor, among other things.

“I won’t say what came in here one day,” Helen Heiman said.

Some people are a

bit more fortunate with their discoveries as well — as Joe Hess’s wife, Jea-nette, explained.

“I found a husband up here, he was a bargain,” Jeanette said. “I didn’t even have to pay for him.”

All of the volunteers realize the essential part they play for the store, and don’t take a minute for granted.

“It’s the result of a long history of slow, gradual growth,” Hess said. “We are just pass-ing the torch.”

Things have come a long way since the store has been moved into the new building, which is generously provided by Allen County, and the group of seniors are nothing short of thank-ful for the opportunity they are given.

“You feel like you’re doing something use-ful,” Bradford said.

But, as Huston admit-ted, they receive their own benefits from their time spent as well.

“You might think of us as a social center too,” Huston said laughing.

“It gets us out of the house.”

1,500 barrier 13 years ago.

The tech-heavy Nas-daq index rose 38.01 points Friday to 3,378.63.

Rising stock prices and gains in home pric-es have some Ameri-cans feeling more com-fortable about their financial status for the first time in years.

Good news begets good news, and Wall Street hopes it will draw more investors back into stocks.

“As the market grinds higher, we think there are a lot of investors who ... worry that they are being left behind,” said Richard Slinn, an investment specialist for JPMorgan Private Bank, which man-ages investments for a wealthy clientele.

Friday’s jobs report and the revisions it con-tained meant the econo-my had some tail wind going into the across-the-board reductions in federal spending, called the budget sequester, that started taking ef-fect March 1.

While anticipation of lower government and defense spending was blamed for sluggish economic growth of 2.5 percent from January to March, the seques-ter might not have had much impact yet on hir-ing broadly across the economy.

“The jobs report was a pleasant surprise. Job growth is slowing, but not as much as feared,” said Mark Zandi, the chief economist for forecaster Moody’s An-

alytics. “The decline in unemployment is also encouraging, par-ticularly because it was driven by an increase in jobs.”

February’s estimate of 268,000 jobs was re-vised to 332,000, a solid number that’s sure to spark argument about the effects of the gov-ernment sequester.

March estimates also were revised upward, from a dismal 88,000 to a healthier but still sub-par 138,000 jobs for the month the federal bud-get cuts began.

“It suggests the la-bor market is still im-proving and is helping to sustain consumer spending and housing market advances. How-ever, there is little sign in the data to suggest that a marked accel-eration in monthly job creation in the months ahead is in the cards,” cautioned Scott Ander-son, the chief econo-mist for Bank of the West in San Francisco. “The lack of manu-facturing jobs could signal a slowdown in service-job growth in the months ahead if the manufacturing sector continues to cool.”

Hiring in manufac-turing, a big employ-ment driver last year, was largely unchanged in April after decelerat-ing in recent months. The sector has throttled back and may stay weak for several months.

“Part of the challenge for manufacturing is that you are seeing slow growth in terms of exports ... at the

same time we have also seen domestic sales re-ally slow down as well,” said Chad Moutray, the chief economist for the National Association of Manufacturers.

On the plus side, manufacturing tied to the automotive and avi-ation sectors continues to add jobs. But hiring and output have slowed in apparel, computers and other consumer-oriented manufactur-ing, he said.

It’s the re-sult of a long history of slow growth. We are just passing the torch.

Allen men nab conference track title

GREAT BEND — Allen Community College’s men’s track team earned a confer-ence title Saturday.

Allen’s athletes secured several top finishes as the Red Devils topped Coffeyville, 192 points to 186, for the title.

“We knew going in we had a huge gap to make up against Coffeyville,” Red Devil track coach Vince DeGrado said. “I’ll be honest. This confer-ence championship means more to me than the one we won in cross country, mainly because we weren’t favored to win this one, and we were overlooked by almost every-body.”

The foundation for Allen’s success, as it has been all sea-son, was through distance running, DeGrado said, “because we could cover so many different events.”

The key to the conference title, however, came from the ascension of the Red Devil sprinters, under the tutelage of Coach Tony Davis, DeGra-do said.

“I can’t tell you how happy I am to have Tony coaching with me,” DeGrado said. “We both are still in shock a little bit that we just won a confer-ence title.”

The conference champi-onship is Allen’s first since 1986.

In Region VI standings, which includes schools from the Jayhawk Western Con-ference, Allen finished fourth with 95 points. Hutchinson won the Region VI crown

with 138 points. Allen was only three points out of third place in Region VI.

“That was our goal from the start,” DeGrado said, “to win a conference title and get top three in Region VI.”

Leading the way for the Red Devils was Bruce Bar-clay, who won the 110-meter hurdles in both the Jayhawk Conference and in Region VI in 14.26 seconds.

He was the only Region VI champ from Allen.

There were several other conference winners, includ-ing Kyle Schauvliege, who won the 10,000-meter run in 33 minutes, 22.13 seconds, and Chris Donald, who won the 400-meter hurdles in 55.3 seconds.

Jacob Spence led an Allen 1-2-3 finish in the 3,000-me-ter steeplechase in 10:08.25. Following close behind were Garret Colglazier in second and Kevin White in third. All three earned all-confer-

ence honors for their per-formance. That feat was re-peated by Schauvliege, Brock Artis and Parker in the 10,000 meters.

The Red Devils also have a pair of conference champion relay teams.

Allen’s 4x800-meter relay team of Evan Adams, Tucker Morgan, Tegan Michael and Josh Whittaker won with a time of 7:50.12. The 4x400-meter squad, meanwhile, of Donald, Kelvin Gant, Kyle

Smith and Rickcardo Bailey produced a winning time of 3:19.78.

“FRIDAY’S EVENTS really got it started,” DeGrado said. “Our 4x800 team, Josh Whit-taker, Evan Adams, Tucker Morgan and Tegan Michael broke the school record in some very windy conditions. That was huge for us. It re-ally set the tone for the entire

John Sleezer/Kansas City Star/MCT Kansas City Royals second baseman Miguel Tejada (24) flips over shortstop Alcides Esco-bar (2) as both tried to field a hit by Chicago White Sox’s Jeff Keppinger in the third inning of Sunday’s baseball game Sunday at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.

Cardiac Royals save best for lastKANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) —

Down to his final strike, Billy Butler came through.

Butler’s two-out, two-run double in the ninth tied it for Kansas City before Alex Gor-don won it an inning later with an RBI single to lift the Royals to a 6-5 win over the Chicago White Sox on Sunday.

“I figured he might go some-thing off-speed and he just left it up and I put a pretty good swing on it and got it to the gap,” Butler said. “I was still sitting on a fastball, but you can’t eliminate any pitches. He just got it up in the zone. I put a barrel on it and some-thing good happened.”

The Royals have 11 come-

from-behind victories in their 17 wins this season.

“We continue to fight,” But-ler said. “We just don’t give up. We never lost focus or our de-sire to come back. It’s not go-ing to happen every night, but we just continue to put pretty good at-bats together.”

Lorenzo Cain led off the 10th with his third hit and stole second with one out. With two outs, Chris Getz was intentionally walked and George Kottaras then walked on five pitches, loading the bases for Gordon.

Gordon singled on the first pitch from rookie Brian Omo-grosso (0-1), who made his first appearance since being called

up Wednesday.Greg Holland (1-1) worked

a perfect 10th after relievers Tim Collins and Aaron Crow allowed four runs in the sev-enth for the White Sox to take a 5-3 lead.

“Our bullpen is not going to give up too many leads I feel like,” Holland said. “When it does, our lineup steps up and really gets after it and take good at-bats back-to-back. We’re really tough on pitching staffs right now.”

TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — Rain and wrecks pushed NASCAR to the edge of darkness Sunday at Talla-dega Superspeedway, where three of the biggest names in the sport led the field to final flag.

NASCAR was giving it one final go to get the rain-delayed race wrapped up, and Matt Kenseth, Carl Ed-wards and Jimmie Johnson were at the head of the pack for the two-lap overtime sprint to the finish.

None of them ever saw Da-vid Ragan coming.

Heck, Ragan barely even saw teammate David Gil-liland hook onto his rear bumper. But Gilliland locked up with Ragan for that last-gasp push to the finish and the Front Row Motorsports drivers sliced their way to the front and put Ragan into Victory Lane for the tiny or-ganization’s first victory.

“This is a true David ver-sus Goliath moment here,” Ragan said.

It was the second career

victory for Ragan — he also won at Daytona in July 2011 when he drove for Roush Fenway Racing — and Gillil-and finished second for a 1-2 finish for Front Row Motor-sports.

“I wouldn’t want to line up and have to do it again,” said Ragan, who didn’t realize Gilliland was pushing him until he exited Turn 2 on the last lap. “That gave me a little extra confidence ... that I could make the right moves and I knew that he was go-ing to stick with me. I had a great teammate. David Gilli-land gave us a great push. I owe him a lot. I’ll definitely buy him lunch this week or something.”

The victory came a day after Regan Smith won the Nationwide Series race and Ragan was flooded with mis-fired congratulatory mes-sages on Twitter.

“All fans- please send all congrats to (at)ReganSmith. Not this Ragan..... He is the Winner today!! Haha,” he tweeted Saturday night.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Orb splashed through the slop to win the Kentucky Derby, coming from way back in the pack and giving Hall of Fame trainer Shug McGaughey his first victory in the 3-year-old classic.

When the field turned for home on the cool, over-cast Saturday afternoon at

Churchill Downs, Norman-dy Invasion grabbed the lead while Orb was gearing up. But in the deep stretch, Orb prevailed, carrying Joel Rosario to his first Der-by win.

Long shot Golden Soul was second with Revolution-ary third. Normandy Inva-sion faded to fourth.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — With the ongoing drought threatening to sharply reduce the city’s ability to provide enough water for its resi-dences, Wichita officials are considering a plan that would idle the city’s $3.5 million WaterWalk Waltzing Waters foun-tain system for the year.

Cheney Reservoir west of Wichita provides 60 percent of the city’s water, The Wichita Eagle reported.

City officials have said the reservoir could dry up by mid-2015 if the drought persists, which could leave the city with-out enough water to meet demand.

Keeping the fountains turned off is part of a drought plan city offi-cials are preparing for residential and commer-cial users. Until the plan is adopted, the Water-Walk fountains won’t be activated, City Manager Robert Layton said.

“Nothing will be determined until the mayor and city coun-cil review the recom-mended drought plan and approve a course of action,” Layton said Fri-day in an email.

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.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — A western Michigan woman is ac-cused of creating a Face-book account to stalk her-self.

“I was wild,” Reed said. “I couldn’t get comfortable. I walked the first two guys and I wasn’t even close. I was all over the place. The 3-2 pitch to Butler was a hanging slider, it was a terrible pitch. I wanted to make the best pitch I could and I hung it and he made me pay for it.

“It stinks everybody before me threw their butts off and the offense came through, and I let them down.”

Alex Rios homered

and drove in two runs and Alejandro De Aza contributed a two-run double for the White Sox.

Royals reliever Tim Collins started the sev-enth with a 3-1 lead, but allowed three runs on three hits without retir-ing a batter. In his past two outings, Collins has yielded five runs on sev-en hits and gotten only two outs.

Chicago scored four times in the seventh. Aaron Crow threw a wild pitch that let one run score and Rios hit his team-leading seventh home run.

Royals right-hander Wade Davis, who had al-

lowed 15 runs on 20 hits and seven walks in 8 1-3 innings in losing his pre-vious two starts, held the White Sox to one run on five hits in six innings.

Davis gave up a run in the third on Rios’ groundout with the bas-es loaded.

“Every time we come here these guys give us a hard time,” Rios said. “When you’ve got the lead you feel good and they hurt you at the end. We have to keep grind-ing.”

White Sox left-hander Jose Quintana held the Royals hitless for four innings before they scored three runs in the

fifth. Miguel Tejada and Alcides Escobar had RBI singles and the other run scored on second baseman Jeff Kepping-er’s error.

NOTES: White Sox RHP Jake Peavy will be skipped today, missing his second straight start with back spasms. LHP Chris Sale will start the series finale in Peavy’s place. The Royals will counter with RHP James Shields, a rematch of the season opener which Sale won 1-0. ... Tejada started his first game of the season at second base. He had started two games at third base and one at first base.

about one or two perfor-mances,” DeGrado said. “It was everybody step-ping up and doing their part.”

Michael narrowly missed out on a confer-ence and regional title in the 1500-meter run. He was edged by Neosho County’s Michael Kenu-thia, by .02. Michael’s time was 4:06.80.

Athletes taking sec-ond earn second-team all-conference or all-region status for their finishes. Third-place fin-ishers receive honorable mention.

Others earning all-conference for Allen were Jethro St. Hubert, third in the 100-meter dash; Smith, second,

and Bailey, third, in the 400-meter dash; Ryan Pulsifer and Dakota Parker, who were second and third, respectively, in the 5000-meter run. Michael Burns took sec-ond in the triple jump.

ON THE women’s side, Terika Henry is the con-ference champion in the 200-meter dash, finish-ing in 24.44 seconds. She finished second in the 100-meter dash, while Debra Kime finished third in the 1500 meters.

The Red Devils were without the services of one of their leading fe-males. Gabby Ruiz didn’t compete because of a family emergency, De-Grado said.

She will return in two weeks with Henry and a number of the male ath-

letes at the NJCAA na-tional meet in Hutchin-son May 16-18.

Now Ragan has his own win — just in time to qualify for the Sprint All-Star race in two weeks.

Gilliland wanted the win but was content set-tling for second on a day his team earned its first victory.

“What a great day for Front Row Motorsports, an underfunded team coming in here and be-ing able to finish 1-2 is awesome,” Gilliland said. “I’m very proud of David Ragan. I know

he would have done the same for me. I had a heck of a run, we were push-ing, I was locked to his

bumper and I wasn’t go-ing to let him go.”

The race took seven hours to complete af-

ter rain stopped it for 3 hours, 36 minutes midway through the event.

With darkness quick-ly closing in, contact between Ricky Sten-house Jr. and J.J. Yeley triggered a frightening crash that sent Kurt Busch’s car airborne and on top of Ryan New-man’s car.

Newman has been in numerous harrowing accidents at Daytona and Talladega, where NASCAR uses restric-tor-plates to control the speeds, and was sharp

with his criticism after exiting the infield care center. He said he only stopped to do a live tele-vision interview to criti-cize cars still being able to go airborne.

“They can build safer race cars, they can build safer walls. But they can’t get their heads out of their (expletive) far enough to keep them on the race track, and that’s pretty disappoint-ing,” Newman said. “I wanted to make sure I get that point across. Y’all can figure out who ‘they’ is.”
