The idea for lure coursing is simple. The dog runs a straight line to a point and back. In her case, Copper would run a half- mile stretch along a marked line. The dogs are judged based on speed, follow, enthusiasm, agility and endurance. Cop- per competes in lure coursing at Clinton Lake State Park in Lawrence. The competition is organized by the Heartland Coursing Association. To make sure Copper is in top shape for competition, Janice walks her from four to six miles every day, as well as trains her in obedience. “It is uncommon HOOPS Controversial call does in Fillies See B1 Locally owned since 1867 www.iolaregister.com Saturday, February 9, 2013 Vol. 115, No.73 75 Cents Iola, KS WEEKENDER The IOLA REGISTER GETTING A PAW IN THE DOOR Janice Buckjune, along with her dog Copper, demonstrates how to show a dog during an AKC dog show competition.

ObituariesHelene Mae Monfort
Born April 10, 1913, Helen Mae Mon-fort passed away in her sleep Jan. 16, 2013, after two years of decline, three months short of her 100th birthday.
She was one of nine children born to Earl and Winnie Monfort of Iola. As an infant, she was voted “Prettiest Baby” at the Allen County Fair, and as a young woman was chosen “Miss Al-len County.”
She graduated from Kansas State University; taught school near Iola in a one-room schoolhouse encompassing five grades; was a chemist testing munitions for Hercules Powder Company dur-ing WWII; a home economist for the Amana Company, and taught sewing and upholstery for the County Exten-sion Service after the war.
She was married to S. Max Brown of Brown Broth-ers’ Construction in Manhattan. They moved to Tuc-son, Ariz., in 1957, where they raised two children, Rich-ard and Joy. A few years after the death of her husband in 1969, she moved to Washington state to rejoin many of her brothers and sisters who had moved to that area over the intervening years. There she met and married retired Air Force Master Sgt. Joseph Eaves. She and Joe were instrumental in forming and supporting the Fort Walla Walla Museum in Walla Walla, Wash., where they lived.
She became an avid dealer in small antiques and col-lectibles. A passionate advocate of education, she gen-erously contributed to the education of several nieces, and was a large donor of the University of Arizona and the Desert Museum in Tucson. She was a past president of the YWCA in Tucson. She was adventurous and trav-eled by boat, car, plane and train through much of the United States and also into the Yukon of Canada and to Mexico, Morocco, Tahiti and London. She was very ex-cited to go to China when it opened its doors to the West. Helene was debilitated by a series of small strokes years ago while wintering in Tucson and remained in Tucson until her death.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Max, and daughter Joy; and later by her stepson Earl Eaves, she is survived by her second husband Joe and his children, Buddy, Cheri and Jo Ellen; by her son Richard Brown, daughter-in-law Kathryn, and grandchildren Kellner, Helene and Dennett; by her youngest brother, Phillip, of Waitsburg, Wash., and by the extensive offspring and their offspring of her Monfort siblings. She will be re-membered as a generous and steadfast wife, mother and friend.

ment that it is the Leg-islature’s duty to set funding for schools but lawmakers owe it to tax-payers, parents, teachers and students to discuss a way to solve the dispute “to the satisfaction of all involved.”
“It is my hope that through staying the de-cision and allowing all interested parties to give input on how to best fund our schools and get more money into the classroom, our state will maintain its reputation of having great schools and great educational opportunities for our children,” the Republi-can governor said.
Alan Rupe, a Wichita attorney representing parents and school dis-tricts in the lawsuit, wel-comed the state’s desire to find a settlement.
“It depends on what the state proposes,” Rupe said. “If the state is truly interested in the public school kids of Kansas and not just buying time and not stepping up to the plate to pay for ad-equate education, it’s not going to get resolved.”
The state Supreme Court said in 2005 and 2006 rulings that the Leg-islature is constitution-ally obligated to finance a suitable education for every child, suggesting that the state could face continual increases in spending. Lawmakers dramatically increased funding for schools after those rulings but backed away from their prom-ises during the Great Re-cession.
The Shawnee County ruling cited the Legis-lature’s duty under the education article in say-ing that current school funding is inadequate. The three-judge panel rejected the state’s argu-ments that legislators did their best to main-tain state support for public schools and that there was little statisti-cal evidence that the cuts had hurt student achievement.
Legislators said that mediation was a good al-ternative, but motives for that effort differed.
“I think it’s a great idea to make sure the two sides are talking together, to make sure both sides know the po-sition of the other, to see if there’s any middle ground to resolve it from
a policy perspective in-stead of from the litiga-tion perspective,” said Senate President Jeff King, an Independence Republican and Senate Judiciary Committee chairman.
But House Minority Leader Paul Davis said any settlement would
require legislative action to implement, adding that Brownback’s bud-get proposal for the next school year provided “minimal increases” in school spending.
“I’m not sure how the governor and attorney general are going to find a resolution when they don’t have the power to take unilateral action on school funding,” said Davis, a Lawrence Demo-crat.
Rupe said media-tion failed in the ear-lier school finance case, which led to the Supreme Court’s ruling in 2005. He said the renewed ef-fort to find a settlement was contradictory to positions taken by the state during the district court trial in 2012 and proposed constitutional amendments sought by legislators and Brown-back to change how ap-peals judges are selected and another rewriting the language regarding education.
The Senate has ap-proved the changes in judicial selection and King’s judiciary com-mittee is expected to hold hearings in the coming weeks on chang-ing the education article in the Kansas Constitu-tion.
H RulingContinued from A1
It depends on what the state propos-es. If the state is truly inter-ested in the public school kids in Kansas and not just buying time and not step-ping up to the plate to pay for adequate education, it’s not going to get resolved.

This past Thursday evening the Chamber hosted a Cash Mob at McGinty-Whitworth. We had a nice sized crowd to mob/shop and we had a good time. After we finished our mob shopping some of us had dinner together at El Charro’s Mexican Restaurant where we shared our purchases. The networking and visiting afterward was as much fun as the shopping.
I have had ques-tions on how we decide where to go. We put the names of all the retail merchants who belong to the Chamber of Commerce in a bag and pull out who will be the next to mob. It may not be a very scientific pro-cess, but it is a fair way to do the choosing. We then call the merchant to check to see if they are willing to host. The dinner afterward is a new addition. We again will use the Chamber membership to choose where to dine.
If you haven’t had a chance to experience the Cash Mob consider joining us March 7. We gather at the Chamber office at 5:30 p.m. and leave from there. The destination is kept a se-cret with the exception of the merchant that we will be going to so that they can prepare to be mobbed.
The Chamber Biz Expo is fast approach-ing and we are work-ing diligently to get the event. The Expo is March 15 and 16 at the Iola Recreation Center. We are looking for-ward to having a full house again this year. More details to come next week. I hope you all will save the date and come spend time with your area busi-nesses.

Authorities combing the Big Bear area found no new signs of Christo-pher Dorner overnight but vowed Friday to con-tinue searching until they found the ex-police officer or knew defini-tively that he had left the area.
In a morning update on the search, San Ber-nardino Sheriff John McMahon said more than 100 officers would be back in the field Friday after overnight efforts failed to yield new evidence and “certainly did not find” Dorner, the 33-year-old ex-LAPD officer sought in a series of shootings that have left three dead and two wounded.
McMahon acknowl-edged that Dorner had time to leave Big Bear but said authorities were not sure if he had done so. The search would con-tinue, the sheriff said, until “either we discover that he left the mountain or we find him. One of the two.”
Crews conducted door-to-door searches until about midnight and pa-trolled streets after that, McMahon said. McMa-hon did not say how many of the approxi-mately 400 homes in the area had been searched, but said the door-to-door effort would resume again Friday. Teams would also continue to scour the area where Dorner’s burning truck was found.
McMahon mentioned the possibility that Dorner had holed up in one of the vacant cabins in the area.
“We want to make sure he didn’t find a place to hide out for the night,” he said, adding that officials would re-evaluate their tactics after all of the buildings were cleared.
McMahon said it still was not known if Dorner was familiar with the area or if he was pre-pared for the winter storm that was moving in Friday. The National
Weather Service said Big Bear could see 6 to 10 inches of snow above 4,000 feet and 2 to 6 inches of snow below that mark.
McMahon, who shield-ed himself from the snow flurries with an umbrella while speaking Friday morning, said officers were prepared for the weather and brought in snow equipment to help with the search.
“We’re continuing to search just like we did yesterday,” he said. “Our folks just have different clothes and boots on.”
Dorner is wanted in connection with a double homicide in Irvine, Ca-lif., on Sunday and the shooting of three police officers, one fatally, in Riverside County, Calif., on Thursday. Authorities described him as “armed and extremely danger-ous,” and alerts about
him were issued across the state and in Nevada.
In an online manifesto attributed by authori-ties to Dorner, he ranted against Los Angeles Po-lice Department person-nel who he said fired him unfairly. He threatened revenge and “unconven-tional and asymmetrical warfare” against police and their families, say-ing he would stalk them “where you work, live, eat, and sleep.”
The search moved to Big Bear after Dorner’s truck was found in flames on a forest road. Schools and the Bear Mountain Resort were locked down as a fatigue-clad SWAT officers began combing the area. About 125 officers would even-tually be used to search homes door-to-door and follow what was believed to be Dorner’s trail.
No new signs as officials vow to continue search
Los Angeles Police Department Chief Charlie Beck talks to reporters about fired LAPD officer Christopher Jordan Dorner during a news conference on Thursday. Dorner is the supspect in several shootings in the Los Angeles area with several police officers being victims of the gunman.

Los Angeles TimesBOSTON — Snow be-
gan falling throughout much of the Northeast on Friday morning, the first flurries of what forecasters are predict-ing will strengthen into a major blizzard, possi-bly bringing record ac-cumulations of up to 3 feet of snow.
The storm, which has been expected for days, began dropping snow Friday morning in the Boston area and in New York City, where relative-ly warm temperatures turned the flakes to rain. The easy start to the day, however, was a just a lull, with heavy snow ex-pected by evening along with hurricane-force winds in some areas still recovering from fall’s Superstorm Sandy.
“A major winter storm, with blizzard conditions, is forecast to impact the North-east Friday night into early this morning, as a developing nor’easter moves up the Atlantic coast. Total snowfall ac-cumulations of 1-2 feet
are possible, with locally higher amounts. In ad-dition, gusty winds will create blizzard condi-tions, especially along the coast, making travel extremely hazardous, if not impossible,” the Na-tional Weather Service warned.
Blizzard warnings were posted all through the region, including northern New Jersey and parts of suburban New York City, especial-ly Long Island, which was hit hard by Sandy. There was also some concern about flooding in low-lying areas.
The weather service also warned of large accumulations in por-tions of Massachusetts, especially metropolitan Boston. Connecticut, and its major urban centers Hartford and New Haven, were ex-pected to feel the storm’s lash. Blizzard warnings were posted throughout New England, includ-ing Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Maine.
The storm was expect-ed to be one of New Eng-land’s worst ever. The record Boston snowfall
was set in 2003 when 27.6 inches fell. The last ma-jor snowfall in southern New England was dur-ing Halloween of 2011. Boston could get up to 3 feet of snow from the current storm.
Officials began mar-shaling resources ear-lier in the week. New York state activated its emergency center and in New York City, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said plows and 250,000 tons of salt were being put on standby. New York City could receive 6 to 12 inches of snow, a ma-jor hit. By comparison, Philadelphia, south and west, was expecting just 2 to 5 inches.
Snow flurries began Friday morning in Bos-ton as residents raced to grocery stores before the worst of the storm, causing traffic jams and parking headaches.
Boston’s buses, sub-way and commuter rail will stop running at 3:30 p.m. EST Friday, and state and local officials are urging drivers to stay off the roads.
At a Shaw’s super-market in Cambridge,
Mass., people waited in long lines, complaining of shortages of bread and milk. Nidi Meta, 31, pushed a shopping cart through the market, stacked high with 10 big bottles of water, potatoes and frozen food.
“I want to be ready in case I can’t go out for three to four days,” she
said.Across the region,
officials hoped for the best but prepared for the worst. Utilities put extra crews on alert to deal with expected power out-ages from lines down in the fierce winds.
The governors of Con-necticut and Massachu-setts ordered nonessen-
tial state workers to stay home Friday and urged travelers to keep off of the roads. Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said he will declare a state of emergency be-cause of the blizzard.
Schools across the re-gion were closed, giving people an unexpected three-day weekend.

While rummaging through the mail atop my dad’s desk earlier this week I found con-firmation of a poetry class on Emily Dickinson in which he had enrolled at the University of Kansas through its continu-ing education program.
The class, Wrestling Emily Dickinson, was for three con-secutive Monday nights begin-ning next week.
My dad, 88, has fallen ill and will not be able to attend the class. He and his “commit-ted partner,” Edith, of Topeka, were to take the class together.
She now is at his bedside most of each day at a facility in Topeka.
This is not a eulogy; just thoughts of what it is to have a seriously ill parent.
“I KEEP expecting to wake up, dead,” he said Thursday morning, half joking. “To be honest, I’m almost half disap-pointed I’m not dead.”
That’s the pain talking. “I think about the pain too
much. I need something else to occupy my thoughts.”
This is from a man who up until this very minute has spent a lifetime critically thinking and writing about this world that he loves so much, and who less than a month ago bragged about walking two miles on the treadmill, “3.2 miles an hour!”
He has one drawer that has nothing but sweatbands in it.
In a tumultuous two weeks, Dad has been diagnosed with an aggressive small cell can-cer originating in the prostate. For several years he’s man-aged the slow-growing pros-
tate cancer with hormones. His most recent PSA testing of three weeks ago showed no unusual activity.
But then his legs gave out. The cause, a tumor wrapped around his spinal column high up between his shoulders.
The neurosurgeon greeted dad with surprise. “When I first saw your chart, I thought we should let the old man die in peace. But I can see you’re not the average 88-year-old.”
Dad basked in his words.The surgery was a suc-
cess in as far as removing the growth. The outcome is still to be determined.
Truth is, Dad is showing his age.
What once seemed as a no-brainer for someone so de-termined, the physical and occupational therapy is now a monumental ordeal. Sleep comes easier.
“I’m having the craziest dreams,” he said. “Your moth-er is everywhere. Not neces-sarily talking, just there, in the background.”
Dad used to marvel at my mother’s dreams. “They were always our morning’s conver-sation,” he said.
When mother died in 2009, I feared it would be the death of him, too. That another love has come into his life has brought
us all immeasurable joy.
DAD MAY RALLY.Two things keep pulling
him into this world. For the past five years he’s
been working on a second in-stallment of the “Annals of Allen County,” this time from 1945 to 2000. We’re in the final stages of its editing, with pho-tos and an index to go.
Every visit I tell him what year I’m up to. Six more to go.
He also very much wants to see a fountain being built in memory of mother in front of the Bowlus Fine Arts Center completed.
That’s within reach.Thursday’s mental status
exam didn’t go so well. He got the day mom died off by one day — but that’s consistent. He got his parents’ deaths and their ages mixed up. He said it was Monday.
Of course, before the evalu-ation, we were discussing the U.S. Postal Services’ decision to stop Saturday delivery and how that would impact deliv-ery of the newspaper. “The real question that needs to be asked is what it would cost to keep delivery at six days a week and then price it accord-ingly,” he said.
Dad is a newsman to the core. He relies on facts to base his decisions.
When the social worker glibly said “We’re going to get you home in no time,” Dad held his tongue, turning to me with raised eyebrows, as if to say she must be confused.
“I don’t want fairy tales,” Dad said later. “Just the truth.”
When fairy tales fall shortSusanLynnRegistereditor
I got a pretty good idea of what retirement might be like the last couple of weeks, and I’m not quite ready to shuffle down that road.
On Monday I’ll return to a reporter’s duties after re-cuperating from hip replace-ment surgery.
The dose of medically imposed time off went well enough, although I can guarantee that if a person’s primary interest is absorb-ing what daytime television offers it would be a boring routine. Fortunately, I like to read and added much to my knowledge of pirates, St. Louis Cardinals baseball, Al Capone and Wyatt Earp — courtesy of well-researched books that I’d been wanting to read. I also consumed a number of short, non-fiction stories about hunting, of both exotic and common-place game.
Having been a scribe for the Register more than 48 years, I missed not having contact with several “sourc-es” I tap regularly for infor-
mation. A couple were kind enough to indulge me when I couldn’t stand it any lon-ger and called to chat about “what’s going on.”
While I intend to hit the ground running Monday, it likely will be more a mea-sured canter rather gallop.
I have limitations per doc-tor’s orders, including bend-ing over and climbing stairs.
I find it amazing that medical science is such that a wornout hip joint can be replaced with space age metal and the recipient can resume active life as quickly as I have.
The absence of pain is also a godsend, and makes greeting the day all the mer-rier.
Back in the saddleAt
Week’s EndBob Johnson
To the editor,I read Ona Chapman’s let-
ter to the editor on public education and I said, “Hur-ray!” Somebody finally said what I had been wanting to say about public education in our country and especial-ly in Kansas.
When our teachers are assaulted by our governor and by other Republican governors, such as the one in Wisconsin, when funds for public education are be-ing slashed, isn’t it time to think long and hard about the future education of our children?
Do these governors and their rich political backers want only the rich to be edu-cated? Do they want all the funds for public education saddled on the backs of local property owners while the rich pay little or no income tax on their wealth?
I always believed we be-came the wealthiest and greatest country in the world by educating the masses. Can we afford to stop educat-ing everyone to their fullest potential?
Isn’t it time to start a grassroots uprising to try to save public education?
As a retired public educa-tor that spent 44 years in a profession I loved, I’m truly concerned about its future. I pray all concerned citizens will start working together to stop this trend.
Retabess Ling,Iola, Kan.
To the editor,A number of proposals
for changing local elections will likely be considered by the Kansas Legislators in the coming weeks. The pro-posals focus on two areas: 1) changing city and school elections to the fall; and 2) making city and school elec-tions partisan in nature.
City and school elections in Kansas are now held in the spring and are non-parti-san. Moving these elections to coincide with partisan primaries and general elec-tions would be inappropriate and confusing for the public.
Local candidates and elec-tions would be lost when combined with statewide and federal elections. The length of the ballots would be confusing to many. In-formation about local candi-dates would be lost and con-fusing when mixed with the state and federal candidates.
To change the election date would cause much con-fusion on the terms of those now setting on city councils and commissions and school boards. It would also be an added unnecessary problem for the county clerks and city clerks of Kansas.
There would be not signifi-cant fiscal savings to making this change.
I am asking that you please contact your legislators and ask them to oppose changes to the city and school elec-tions.
Vada Aikins, Humboldt, Kan.

How to contact your elected officials
40Years AgoFeb. 7, 1937
Bassett city councilmen last night agreed to vacate a large portion of Bassett owned by Iola Industries, Inc. They approved a petition from the Iola Industrial de-velopment corporation ask-ing that all of the land except-
ing for that owned by Mr. and Mrs. Darrell Buss, the prop-erty of the Clark Rouschs and a plot lying north of the Santa Fe tracks and south of Bassett Street be declared outside the city limits. These excepted plots would become part of the City of Bassett. It is the intention of Iola In-
dustries to seek annexation to Iola of portions of the land owned and to ask the appro-priate authorities to zone the property for industrial use. The 11 houses owned by Iola Industries in Bassett will continue to be rented, Ray Pershall, president of Iola In-dustries, said.

for show dogs to do obe-dience training,” Jan-ice said. “But I think it is important for a good dog to be trained.”
While she enjoys tak-ing her dog to competi-tions, Janice said she mostly enjoys meeting new people and experi-ence the “interesting” side of dog shows.
“There are all kinds of interesting people that take the shows very seriously, it is their life,” Janice said. “I have seen Afghan dogs wearing shower caps.”
Janice said she always has been in-trigued by watching
the dog shows on tele-vision, especially the Westminster Dog Show. Her mother, Kathleen Sinclair, was the 4-H dog leader when she was young, so Janice said she has been ac-customed to being around dogs.
Janice plans to con-tinue showing Copper. She said her dog has the perfect tempera-ment to compete in dog shows and lure cours-ing. She has 14 points left to garner before Copper is recognized as an AKC champion dog.
“Dogs either do it (compete) or don’t,” Janice said. “She is a natural.”

Though March is the official beginning of the severe weather season, in 2012 severe storms were spotted as early as February.
The peak month for se-vere storms is May and stormy weather can last until as late as October.
“Kansas weather is weird,” she said. “As late as December we saw a
really bad storm.”Bad weather will al-
ways come. Being pre-pared and reacting ap-propriately will be the only difference between life and death, she said.
“You can never be too prepared. Follow a list provided by Ready.gov or FEMA.gov. Be sensible,” Beasley said.
There are lists on Ready.gov, FEMA.gov and weather.gov, that will help community members lay out a plan appropriate for them
in an event of an emer-gency.
Plans for individual households and those with families exist.
Make sure children know what the plan is in case of emergencies.
Beasley said if you have a pet to make sure to have bottled water and a baggie of dog food in your kits.
People who are vul-nerable in that need spe-cial assistance should register with United Way at www.211.org.
“This will tell us we need to come get you,” Beasley said. “If you don’t register, we don’t know.”
Each year emergency kits should be reevalu-ated. Some of the sugges-tions Ready.gov gives to maintain an emergency kits are to replace any canned foods that have be-come swollen and replace stored food and water sup-plies every six months.

Court report
By MEGAN HARTTopeka Capital-JournalTOPEKA, Kan. (AP) —
The common wisdom is that Americans are put-ting off retirement and may never get to stop working.
At least in Kansas, the common wisdom seems to be wrong.
Kansans older than 55 were more likely to have a job, or be looking for one, in the depths of the Great Recession, but in the last year many have voluntarily left work, Kansas Department of Labor senior labor econ-omist Tyler Tenbrink said.
A nationwide 2012 Gallup poll found that the average age when currently working Americans expected to retire was 67. That is a full decade later than in 1991, when the average person retired at age 57, and substantially later than the current aver-age retirement age of 60.
Part of the reason for the delay could be the pessimism most people expressed about their fi-nances. Only 38 percent of people surveyed in 2012 thought they would have enough money for retirement, down from 59 percent in 2004. About 72 percent of those who are retired now said they have enough to live com-fortably.
Gallup attributed part of the decline in opti-
mism about retirement to the losses many peo-ple’s stock portfolios and housing values experi-enced during the Great Recession, which would suggest people will be-come more optimistic as the economy recovers. Ongoing debates about the future of Social Se-curity and Medicare, however, may cause peo-ple to continue delaying retirement and doubting their preparedness over the long term, the poll’s authors suggested.
In Kansas, however, the second scenario doesn’t seem to be play-ing out, at least not yet.
People older than 55 made up 17.8 percent of the Kansas labor force in the second quarter of 2006, when they were 29.8 percent of the population. The labor force is made up of those who have a job or are actively seek-ing one. A person could be counted as no longer in the labor force because he or she left work to take care of family responsi-bilities, got discouraged and gave up looking for work, or decided to retire, among other reasons, Tenbrink said.
By the second quar-ter of 2011, those older than 55 made up 19.5 per-cent of the Kansas labor force — but had risen to 33.1 percent of the popu-lation. So while the num-ber of older Kansans in the labor force had risen by 9 percent, their share
of the population had risen by 11 percent, Ten-brink said — meaning if you are seeing more gray hair at work, the explanation is that the population as a whole is older, not that people are necessarily putting off retirement.
Jim Brewer falls into the category of older workers, but he chose to go back to work after retiring from his 30-year career at Burlington Northern Santa Fe rail-road.
Brewer, 67, said he retired from the BNSF mailroom about seven years ago, and decided to take a part-time job reor-ganizing the St. Francis Health Center mailroom to keep busy and to sup-plement his pension.
“I was just going to do 10 hours (per week) or something like that be-cause I already do a lot of charity work,” he said.
It ended up turning into a larger job than he expected, and he now works 20 to 30 hours in an average week. His wife, who previously worked for the state and Topeka Country Club, also works about 10 hours per week pro-cessing statistics for St. Francis, he said.
Brewer said he knows some people are working longer because of the economy, but most of the retirees he is personally acquainted with spend their time volunteering
or traveling.“I don’t know what the
norm is as far as retire-ment,” he said.
Brewer said he likes be-ing able to help people he encounters in the hospi-tal, and the health insur-ance he gets from work-ing there frees up more of their retirement income for other expenses.
“As long as I’m healthy, I’m going to work here for a while,” he said.
Health care is one of the larger employment sectors for workers older than 55, as is public ad-ministration. Education, however, has the larg-est percentage of older workers, with people older than 55 making up 29.6 percent of all em-ployees, Tenbrink said.
Tenbrink attributed the decline in the num-ber of people who didn’t want to work during the recession to financial insecurity, as nonwork-ing older people started looking for work when their partners were laid off or feared pay cuts and job losses. There could be many reasons people decided to leave work again in 2010, but one factor could be that the financial markets stabi-lized and people’s 401K plans began to recover their value, he said, as well as the fact that not working is a more viable option for older people than for younger people who have to support a family.

Iola Middle School’s basket-ball teams went unbeaten in three games Thursday against visiting Coffeyville.
The eighth-grade A team jumped out to an early lead, then maintained its lead in the fourth quarter of a 52-42 win.
The seventh-grade A team, meanwhile, bounced back from its first loss of the season in resounding fashion, thump-ing Coffeyville 48-20.
The combined B team made it a clean sweep with a 34-22 win.
The Ponies’ efforts drew high praise from coach Marty Taylor.
The eighth-graders led 16-9 after one quarter and 29-16 at halftime. Coffeyville closed the gap to 39-31 after three quarters, but could not pull within shouting distance down the stretch.
In her first game back from an extended injury layoff, the Iola sophomore maneuvered her way past a Central Heights defender and softly banked in a shot from the right side with three seconds left.
Had it counted, the basket would have given Iola a one-point lead with three measly seconds on the clock. Barring a miracle, Iola’s first victory of the season was in the bag.
A nearby referee saw it an-other way.
Instead of counting the basket, or whistling Central Heights for a potential foul, the official waved off Haar’s score with a traveling call.
The pivotal call marked the Fillies’ last scoring opportuni-ty in a 32-31 loss to the visiting Vikings, keeping Iola winless on the season.
“I won’t say the officials dic-tated the outcome, but they
controlled the game,” Iola coach Becky Carlson said. “They didn’t let us play.”
Despite the loss, the Fillies
impressed Carlson with their intensity, particularly in the second half, erasing what had been an early nine-point defi-
cit.The bench was a big part.Iola’s reserves scored 12 of
the team’s first 13 points — seven alone by Lexie Long — helping the Fillies climb out of an early 10-1 hole.
The lead yo-yoed between one and three points through the second half, until Emery Driskel scored with 3 1/2 min-utes left in the game to tie the score at 27-27. Haar’s bucket with 3:03 left gave the Fillies their first (and only) lead of the game.
But Central Heights’ Brian-na Erhart 3-pointer with 2:30 remaining to help the Vikings retake the lead. Emma Sigg stepped in for a steal, leading to a Driskel jumper with 55.3 seconds remaining, and a 32-31 deficit.
That led to Haar’s discount-ed heroics.
“Our bench was outstand-ing tonight,” Carlson said. “Addie did well, and so did
Central Heights High’s hot shooting throughout, coupled with Iola High’s inability to get defensive stops, were key in extending the Mustangs’ losing streak Friday to five games.
The Vikings took the lead for good with a 9-0 run to end the first quarter and never looked back. Iola pulled to within six points late in the contest, but could get no clos-er in a 53-45 defeat.
The loss drops Iola to 7-9 on the season and 3-3 in Pioneer League action.
“We never put together any kind of consistent run, and we pretty much let them do whatever they wanted,” Mus-tang coach Bill Peeper said. “They really took it to us. They were willing do what-ever it took, and we didn’t match it.”
The game started curiously enough. Iola scored all eight of its first quarter points in a 50-second span, turning a 5-0 deficit into an 8-5 lead with just under six minutes left.
But the Mustang went
scoreless for the rest of the quarter. The Vikings led 14-8 after one period and pushed their lead to double digits with 2 1/2 minutes left in the
second period.A free throw by Adam
Kauth, followed by a steal and layup by Trent Latta closed the margin to 27-19. Latta
added another 3-pointer with 12 seconds remaining to cut the gap to 30-22. But the Vi-kings’ Tristan Davis respond-ed with a buzzer-beating trey to send Central Heights into the locker room with a 33-22 cushion.
The Viking lead briefly reached 13 points on two oc-casions in the second half, the second time on a Drew Beckwith 3-pointer seconds into the fourth quarter. But Latta responded with four straight points to pull Iola within 44-35. Powelson con-verted a 3-point play with 1:31 remaining to cut the deficit to six, 49-43, then Latta scored on the Mustangs’ next pos-session after Central Heights had pushed back out to an eight-point lead.
Iola came up empty on its last three possessions of the game, erasing any hope for a comeback.
Latta and Powelson shared high-scoring honors with 13 points apiece. Powelson also had 10 rebounds.
Latta pulled in seven steals.

FREDONIA — Humboldt head coach David Taylor said the theme of his pre-game peptalk Friday night was not about strategy, but his high expectations for the team — and they lived up to his expectations.
Following what Taylor deemed a poor performance on Tuesday against Neode-sha, the Humboldt High Wildcats bounced back in high fashion against the Fredonia Yellowjackets with a commanding 56-25 win.
“We got off on sort of a tangent on Tuesday, and I didn’t see any of that to-night,” Taylor said.

COFFEYVILLE — Iola High’s wrestlers are peaking with the Class 4A Regional Tournament less than a week away.
The Mustangs trav-eled to Coffeyville Thursday to take on host Field Kindley and Independence High in a double-dual meet.
Although Iola officially lost both competitions — a byproduct of not enter-ing any wrestlers lighter than 145 pounds — the Mustangs acquitted themselves on the mat.
Iola won three of its four matches against In-dependence, while going 3-2 in contested matches against the host Golden Tornado.
“I’m happy with how we wrestled tonight,” Iola coach Brad Carson said. “The kids had a lot of fight in them. Even the matches we lost, the kids didn’t give up with pins, and took the matches to the limit.”
Individually, Iola’s Cody Conner, a ju-nior, won both of his 145-pound matches by pin. He pinned Indepen-
dence’s Aaron Medlock in 35 seconds and Field Kindley’s Spencer Phil-lips in 46 seconds.
At 152 pounds, senior Zeph Larney picked up a second-round pin against Independence’s John Ferm. He dropped a 10-6 decision to Derek Frost of Field Kindley, one of the top-ranked wrestlers in the state at that level, Carson said.
Freshman Brice Aiello, who recently moved up from 152 to 160 pounds, took losses in both of his matches. He was pinned by Indepen-dence’s Logan Taylor in 35 seconds and to Field Kindley’s Trey Thomp-son midway through the third round.
Andrew Garber, fresh-man, earned a forfeit victory against Indepen-dence, which did not enter a wrestler at 170 pounds. He lost 13-2 to Field Kind-ley’s Cory Turner.
Bryce Misenhelter picked up victories in two separate weight classes. He defeated Noah Stroble of Inde-pendence by a technical fall score of 16-1 after
two rounds. He then moved up to 195 pounds to face Field Kindley’s Grant Newton, and win with a pin 30 seconds into the third period.
Neither Field Kind-ley nor Independence entered 220-pound wres-tlers, giving senior Ste-phen McDonald two for-feit wins and another week to rest his injured shoulder before regional action commences.
Meanwhile, Iola’s Trey Colborn picked up a forfeit win at 285 pounds over Indepen-dence and a first-round pin victory over Field Kindley’s’ Austin Ryder.
“We moved Bryce up a weight level in order to get him another match tonight,” Carson said. “When you go up a weight level, you might not be used to the strength of the other wrestler. Bryce did well.”
Likewise, Carson said Colborn timed his roll move perfectly in his win over Ryder.
The match was score-less until Colborn got points for a takedown.
“Trey hit the roll at
just the right time, and it effectively won the match for him,” Carson said.
Carson was effusive in his praise for Larney, who lost by only four points to Frost of Field Kindley, rather than by being pinned.
Aiello also acquit-ted himself on the mat against heavier wres-tlers, Carson said. Aiello wrestled at 160 pounds, despite weighing in Thursday at 148 pounds.
ASIDE FROM a junior varsity tournament to-day in Burlington, Iola’s wrestlers now set their full focus on the Class 4A regionals starting Fri-day at Pittsburg.
Carson hopes to have McDonald back at full strength by then, as well as 195-pound senior Chase Roettgen, who was held out of competi-tion Thursday because of a medical issue.

“Just a very good ef-fort against a very ath-letic team,” Taylor said.
Ben Cooper and Chase
Regehr led the way with 15 points apiece. Regehr also had 14 re-bounds, while Cooper had three boards. Joey
Zimmerman followed with 10, followed by Braden Plumlee with eight points and nine rebounds, Ethan Scheib-meir with two points and four rebounds and Garrett Wade with two points and seven boards.
“Ben Cooper has been the leader of this team all year, and was fantastic to-night,” Taylor said. “Joey hit a couple of big shots for us, and Ethan Scheib-meir made a couple of hustle plays that really made a difference.”
The victory lifts the squad’s record to 7-4.
THE seventh-grade quad led 16-3 after one quarter and 34-5 at half-
time. Coffeyville closed the gap to 38-20 by the end of the third period before the Ponies closed the game with a 10-0 run.
“The first half was by far the best basketball these kids have played,” Taylor said. “We ran the floor, made good passes and defended the basket.”
Matt Komma led the way with 20 points and 10 rebounds, followed by Ethan Holloway’s 13 points and 13 rebounds. Evan Sigg pulled down 12 rebounds to go with six points. Dalton Ry-herd scored four points, Isaac Vink scored three with five assists and Nick Vaughn scored two.
“Isaac did a great job
tonight of taking care of the ball and getting where it needed to go. Matt and Ethan were very good inside. When Coffeyville would try to take one away, the other stepped up and made them pay. Dalton Ryherd gave us some great min-utes off the bench.”
The records lifts the seventh-graders’ record to 10-2 on the season.
Rhett Allen scored 14 of the B team’s 34 points. Gage Cleaver scored nine, Colton Toney sev-en and Darius Green-awalt and Ryherd had two apiece.
Iola will end its season Monday at home against Pittsburg.

tempt with under two minutes left was re-bounded by Central Heights, but Emma Sigg stepped in for a steal, leading to a Driskel jumper with 55.3 seconds remain-ing, and a 32-31 defi-cit.
Both teams came up empty on their next possession. Iola lost the ball out of bounds, while Er-hart missed the front end of a 1-and-1, giv-ing Iola possession, leading to Haar’s dis-counted heroics.
“Our bench was outstanding tonight,” Carlson said. “Addie did well, and so did Lexie. Emma came up with some big plays for us, and Emery battled her tail off to-night.
“Our effort was good tonight,” Carl-son continued. “We did a nice job of mov-ing the ball, and get-ting great looks at the basket.”
Driskel led the way with eight points, fol-lowed by Long with seven, and Lohman with five.
Sydney Meyer led Central Heights with 14 points.
Iola won the junior varsity contest 22-5, courtesy of a bal-anced scoring attack in which eight play-ers connected on one or two baskets. Ashlie Shields and Haar shared high-scoring honors with four apiece. Paige Miller and Shelby Reno both scored three, while Cassie Delich, Mikaela Platt, McK-ayli Cleaver and Tay-lor Sell all had two points.

MORAN — It’s safe to say the Lady Wild-cats had a tough night.
Marmaton Valley High fell in a big way to the Southern Coffey County High Titans Friday night .
The shooting cold from the first quarter, and stayed that way for the entire game for the Wildcats.
“We didn’t look like the same team we have been,” head coach Kent Houk said.
Shots fell for the Ti-tans, however. Miranda Alumbaugh, Martyna Hegwald and Kalyn Deal all scored early for SCC. Deal followed up two free throws with a 3-pointer from outside.
The basket wasn’t so forgiving to Marmaton Valley.
“We were flat as could be in the first quarter,” Houk said.
SCC went into the locker room with a commanding lead at the half, 31-7.
The punishment con-tinued throughout the second half as the Lady Titans’ offensive, and defensive for that mat-ter, performance over-whelmed MV.
Kaitlin Ensminger hit a field goal for Mar-maton Valley, followed by a commanding run for the Lady Titans from Martyna Hegwald and Breanna Isch.
The fourth quarter came around with the Titans up 46-16.
The Titans held the Wildcats to four field goals in the contest, the remaining 12 points came from the foul line — of which they shot 50 percent.
Ensminger led Mar-maton Valley with seven points, and three of the team’s four field goals. Kacie Shadden contributed six points, all of which came on made free throws.
As for SCC, Heg-wald led the way with 15 points, followed by Deal with 11 and Isch with seven.
“Pretty much any-thing we could have done wrong, we did wrong,” Houk said.
MORAN — Carlos Gonzales came through in the clutch once again for the Marmaton Valley High’s boys Friday.
Marmaton Valley came out on top over the Southern Coffey County Titans with a game-win-ning layup from Gonza-les with 10 seconds re-maining, 36-34.
On Tuesday, Gonzales scored the tie-breaking basket with less than 10 seconds on the clock in a win over Northeast-Arma.
The first half was close, but ended in fa-vor of the Titans. Aaron True got hot early, with some key fast-break points for the visiting team. The Wildcats’ Lu-cas Hamlin responded with back-to-back scores in the first. The quarter ended with Marmaton Valley on top 11-10.
The Titans began to
run away in the second. True had three consecu-tive scores for SCC, be-fore Cole Becker ended the streak with a 3-point-er at the 3½-minute mark. The Titans had the advantage, 22-16, as both teams went into the locker rooms at the half.
The Wildcats out-scored the Titans 11-7 in the third to close the gap to two points before the fourth, 29-27.
The fourth quarter was more of the same, until Gonzales made his final contribution.
Hamlin and Becker led the team in scoring with 10 points apiece, fol-lowed by Gonzales with six and Chance Steven-son with five.
The Marmaton Val-ley junior varsity squad won over SCC, 41-35. Brady Newman led the team in scoring with 18 points.
Marmaton Valley wins nail-biter
Wildcat Cole Becker (25) drives against SCC’s Aaron True (10) and Walker Harred (42). Marmaton Valley won 36-34 over the Titans Friday in Moran.

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.

of Fame class?GODSPEAK: Tim Flock won two championships and 39 races in a 13-year span. He is my pick.KEN’S CALL: The obvious pick is Fireball Roberts. And by the way, it’d be nice to see Smokey Yunick at least get nominated.
Junior says the Danica-Ricky relationship is no
big deal. Is he right?GODSPEAK: Unless Ricky pushes Danica to a Daytona 500 win, then proposes in Victory Lane.KEN’S CALL: Trust me, if Junior had to sell newspapers or TV commercials, he’d think it was the greatest thing since Harry met Sally.

ONLINE EXTRAS
FEUD OF THE WEEK
Ashley behind the wall? Say it ain’t so
Sorry, but yes, it appears that longtime open-wheel star Dario Franchitti has split with his wife, actress Ashley Judd. Therefore, for fans on the stock-car side of the tracks, one of the remaining reasons to watch IndyCar has apparently lawyered up and packed the hauler. The split isn’t a fi rst among racers, but this probably is: News of the split was made offi cial in a statement to People Magazine. Kinda glad Chris Economaki isn’t around to hear that.
Why does the name
Tyler Walker sound familiar?He ran some NASCAR in Trucks and
Nationwide before a drug suspension six years ago. He won big in open-wheel dirt-track stuff before that, including the World of Outlaws, where his post-victory backfl ips inspired Carl Edwards to begin the same practice (remember when Carl had reason to backfl ip?). Anyway, Walker was arrested last week after a high-speed chase that stretched from Nevada to Arizona and fi nally Utah. If he’d done that 50 years ago, he’d be a legendary renegade. Today, he’s a defendant.
Is Bill Romanowski
in for the long haul?When it comes to NFL stars getting into
NASCAR, there have been many more short-timers (Dan Marino, Roger Staubach, Troy Aikman, etc.) than keepers (Joe Gibbs). So don’t look for Romo’s NASCAR tenure to rival his 16-year NFL career. But if sponsorship from his supplement company (“Nutrition53”) increases Swan Racing’s start-to-park ratio, it’ll be time well spent.

WEEKLY DRIVER RANKINGS — BASED ON BEHAVIOR AND PERFORMANCE
Franchitti Judd
Chip Ganassi is the only car owner to have entries in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, IZOD IndyCar Series and Grand-Am Rolex Series. Ganassi Racing has kicked carburetor in IndyCar and Grand-Am for the past decade. His sports-car team just won the Rolex 24 At Daytona. In the stock-car garage, Ganassi has struggled, particularly his team led by driver Juan Pablo Montoya. Ganassi said he wanted Montoya to drive the last stint in the 24 with the hopes it would kick-start Montoya’s NASCAR fortunes in 2013. This was the exchange with the media following the Rolex 24:
First, how did it work out that (Montoya) was going to be the last guy in the car? Was that just the rotation of it, or you specifi cally wanted him? Second, you alluded to this, how does this help him going forward with the Sprint Cup season and with NASCAR stuff coming up?
“You know, we sit down at
the beginning of the race and we have a driver rotation. But the good thing about Timmy Keene, he runs that team week in and week out, and he calls the shots on that car. You know, he changes it up for whatever reason, and then it’s not the fi rst time he’s done that. Everybody contributed, and everybody was a part of the victory, and it just happened to work out that way that we wanted to be — you know, it’s important at different times of the race when you’re looking at other people and who they’re putting in their car, what the other team rotations are. That’s a part of it.
“You’re looking at other team rotations, you’re looking at your own team and how your night is going, how you’re going at dawn, you know, who’s having a good race. You leave a guy in for an extra stint or two, and if he’s having a good night, things are smooth, he’s calm, he’s feeling good — these cars are not people
friendly — these cars are not easy to drive for long periods of time. The forces that get put on your body and what have you.
“Some of the guys I have are up there in years and they have back issues and things, so if things are good, we leave them in, and if they’re not, we take them out. Going forward, obviously when you start off with any kind of victory, I mean, I think the fi rst thing I said to him when he crossed the fi nish line, I said, ‘Hey, man, welcome back to Victory Lane.’ That’s a big shot in the arm for any driver in any series to start off the season with a win, and obviously it’s a completely different car than he’s driving on a full-time basis, but a win is a win, and it all adds up and it all means something. There’s not a driver out there that’ll tell you it’s not a motivating factor to start the season off with a win.”
Dario Franchitti vs. Ashley Judd: The celebrity race driver/actress couple announced they plan to divorce this year.Godwin Kelly gives his take: “Franchitti made 10 Sprint Cup starts, and Judd was always around in her cotton dresses. Judd will be greatly missed.”

SPRINT CUP SCHEDULE
Mark Martin is a fi ve-time runner-up in the Sprint Cup Series points race. He has also never won the Daytona 500. His closest brush with 500 glory came in 2007, when he lost a drag race to the checkered fl ag against Kevin Harvick.
Heading into the 2013 season, Martin can erase those two voids. Well, kinda.
Obviously, Martin has a decent chance of winning the Feb. 24 Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway, driving the No. 55 Michael Waltrip Racing Toyota.
But did you know that Martin, who shares the No. 55 with Brian Vickers and Waltrip, can run for championship honors? Not the drivers’ championship but the car owners’ championship.
While the top 12 drivers after 26 races go into the Chase championship, the owners’ points formula doesn’t change, which means Martin’s 24 starts in the No. 55 could spearhead a run for the title. Vickers has the wheel nine times, Waltrip three.
It can’t happen, you say? In the 2008 Nationwide Series, Clint Bowyer won the drivers’ title for Richard Childress while Jack Roush captured the car owners’ championip, using multiple drivers.
Stewart using Pearson’s path
Some believe David Pearson was NASCAR’s greatest stock-car driver based on his percentage of victories to starts and the fact that he ran for Cup Series championship honors four times and won three titles.
Pearson’s treasured 1976 Daytona 500 victory took two decades of trying. He won the Firecracker 250/400 (now Coke Zero 400) four times before earning his only 500 trophy.
Fast-forward to 2013 and we fi nd 41-year-old Tony Stewart sitting on four 400 wins and running out of at-bats in the 500. This will be his 15th attempt. Stewart can take some comfort from Dale Earnhardt’s career playbook. The “Intimidator” won the 500 on his 20th attempt.
Run on dirtIn an effort to pump new life into the Camping World
Truck Series, NASCAR scheduled a race on the dirt July 24 at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio.
It appears to have worked. The track announced a grandstand sellout last
week.For those venturing to Speedweeks
in Daytona Beach for the Feb. 22 Truck race, you might want to also plan a trip to Volusia Speedway Park, about 20 miles from the big track. Apparently, a load of Truck regulars plan to play in the dirt a couple of
nights to get a feel for the slip-and-slide-style of racing.
