Wording leadsto a retrial
PARSONS — Some-times semantics mat-ter.
A mistrial was declared in Labette County District Court after a defen-dant was asked about the number of trans-actions in which he was involved, instead of a “transaction,” in the sell of cocaine.
James E. “Big Cat” Clark, 31, was accused of selling cocaine to an infor-mant nearly three years ago.
The trial began April 17, the Parsons Sun reported, and the mistrial was declared the next day by Judge Jeffrey Jack.
A new trial may be scheduled at a sta-tus conference for Clark’s case Monday.

PARSONS — Mus-tang Sally, Nashville band with a lead sing-er described as “about as calm as a twister in a trailer park” will headline musical en-tertainment for Katy Days.
The band will appear at the Seaton Family Pavilion in Forest Park
tonight, the Parsons Sun reported.
Katy Days, which recalls Parsons’ rail-road heritage and Par-sons history with the Missouri-Kansas-Tex-as Railroad, will run through the weekend.
The first Katy train rolled into Parsons in 1870.
Salina mayor supports gay marriage
SALINA, Kan. (AP) — Salina Mayor Barb Shir-ley has joined a national group of mayors who support gay marriage.
Shirley’s announce-ment Wednesday that she had joined Mayors for Freedom to Marry came six months after Salina voters repealed protec-tions from discrimina-tion for people who are gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered.
The mayor says she has no tolerance for any type of discrimina-tion, and she wants all people to have the same civil rights.

David L. Yarnell, 79, Paola, died in a four-vehicle accident three miles north of Colo-ny on U.S. 169 early Wednesday morning.
The accident oc-curred when Yarnell, southbound on the highway, attempted to pass a highway trans-port, driven by Larry Manderscheid, Inde-pendence. Yarnell’s car struck the side of the transport’s trailer
and then collided with a northbound trans-port driven by Rajinder Singh, Arlington, Tex-as. A third transport, southbound and driven by Robert Bell, Ottawa, also hit Yarnell’s car.
None of the truck drivers was injured.
The highway was closed for several hours while Highway Patrol officers investigated the accident and the wreckage was moved.

— Kansas agriculture officials say a new law taking effect in July will help a grow-ing number of farm-ers markets across the state.
The measure ap-proved by legislators and signed by Gov. Sam Brownback ear-lier this month sets up a central registry for farmers markets in the state Department of Agriculture. Register-
ing with the state will limit the legal liability of farmers markets if accidents occur.
Agriculture Secre-tary Dale Rodman said Wednesday that reg-istering also will give farmers markets access to promotional help from the state.
The department said that from 1987 to 2012, the number of mar-kets in Kansas increase more than four times, from 26 to 118.
Ag officials tout new law
By JOSH LEDERMANAssociated Press
DALLAS (AP) — All the living American presidents past and present are gathering in Dallas, a rare reunion to salute one of their own at the dedication of the George W. Bush Presidential Center.
Profound ideological differences and a bitter history of blaming each other for the nation’s woes will give way — if just for a day — to pomp and pleasantries today as the five members of the most exclusive club in the world appear publicly together for the first time in years. For Bush, 66, the cer-emony also marks his unofficial return to the public eye four years af-ter the end of his deeply polarizing presidency.
On the sprawling, 23-acre university campus north of downtown Dal-las housing his presi-dential library, museum and policy institute,
Bush will be feted by his father, George H.W. Bush, and the two sur-viving Democratic former presidents, Bill Clinton and Jim-my Carter. President Barack Obama, fresh off a fundraiser for Democrats the night be-fore, also will speak.
In a reminder of his duties as the current Oval Office inhabitant, Obama will travel to Waco in the afternoon for a memorial for vic-tims of last week’s deadly fertilizer plant explosion.
Key moments and themes from Bush’s presidency — the har-rowing, the controver-sial and the inspiring — won’t be far removed from the minds of the presidents and guests assembled to dedicate the center, where in-teractive exhibits in-vite scrutiny of Bush’s major choices as presi-dent, such as the finan-cial bailout, the Iraq
War and the interna-tional focus on HIV and AIDS.
On display is the bullhorn that Bush, near the start of his presidency, used to punctuate the chaos at ground zero three days after 9/11. Address-ing a crowd of rescue workers amid the ru-ins of the World Trade Center, Bush said: “I can hear you. The rest of the world hears you. And the people who knocked these build-ings down will hear all of us soon.”
“Memories are fad-ing rapidly, and the pro-found impact of that attack is becoming dim with time,” Bush told The Associated Press earlier this month. “We want to make sure peo-ple remember not only the lives lost and the courage shown, but the lesson that the human condition overseas mat-ters to the national se-curity of our country.”
More than 70 million pages of paper records. Two hundred million emails. Four million digital photos. About 43,000 artifacts. Bush’s library will feature the largest digital holdings of any of the 13 presi-dential libraries under the auspices of the Na-tional Archives and Re-cords Administration, officials said. Situated in a 15-acre urban park at Southern Methodist University, the center includes 226,000 square feet of indoor space.
A full-scale replica of the Oval Office as it looked during Bush’s tenure sits on the cam-pus, as does a piece of steel from the World Trade Center. In the museum, visitors can gaze at a container of chads — the remnants of the famous Florida punch card ballots that played a pivotal role in the contested 2000 elec-tion that sent Bush to Washington.

~ Journalism that makes a difference
Hours before the federal spending sequester began on March 1, when President Barack Obama predicted that “People are going to be hurt,” he did not add, Trust me, I’ll make sure of it. But he might as well have, as this week’s furloughs of air traffic con-trollers make obvious.
The furloughs reflect pan-ic: Having exaggerated their early predictions that the se-quester’s small reduction in spending growth would seri-ously affect Americans, many Democrats are hell-bent to pre-empt those Americans from drawing two logical con-clusions: If one level of cuts is this painless, then maybe we should make ... more cuts to expenditures. And while we’re at it, maybe we should ignore the politicians who told us that if Washington lowered the spending growth curve ... the Earth will fly into the sun.
Earlier this month, then, you could anticipate a White House effort to enrage the public when that same pub-lic preached blasphemy to McClatchy-Marist pollsters: The percentage of Americans who didn’t think the sequester cuts are affecting the economy rose by 13 points over the prior month (from 27 to 40 percent), while the percentage who did think the cuts harm the econ-omy fell by 11 points (from 47 to 36 percent).
The president and his allies in Congress hadn’t anticipat-ed that. They’ve spent March and April listening for fury from citizens who are, um, ignoring the sequester. Some of those citizens instead are marveling that the stock mar-ket (as measured by the S&P 500 Index) has shot up 10.7 per-cent in not-exactly-sequester-ravaged 2013.
So, what could the admin-istration do to make a reduc-tion of barely 1 percent of actual federal outlays — less than $45 billion of this year’s roughly $3.8 trillion — turn citizens against Republicans
who oppose more tax increas-es? Easy, or so the president’s men and women figured: Cue the air controller furloughs! Let’s stall some flights on the tarmac!
Sure enough, travel delays have followed. We’re less cer-tain, though, that this hos-tage-taking will cut the way the White House expects: The
scheme relies on citizens be-ing — how to put this delicate-ly? — stupid enough to think that the Federal Aviation Ad-ministration can’t find a more flier-friendly way to save $600 million.
To believe that, though:• Americans would have to
ignore the plan that U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., deliv-ered in early March to Trans-portation Secretary Ray La-Hood, detailing how LaHood’s FAA could save twice that amount — $1.2 billion.
• Americans would have to ignore House Republi-cans who note that LaHood’s supposedly destitute FAA is spending some $500 million on consultants — and $300 mil-lion on travel and supplies.
• And Americans would have to ignore Democrats’ re-fusal to accept congressional Republicans’ offer to give the administration more flexibil-ity in sequester cuts — an of-fer House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., reiterated during a meeting Monday with the Tribune editorial board. No, the White House doesn’t want flexibility. The White House wants what the president predicted March 1.
Who knows, maybe congres-sional Republicans will wind
up wearing the jacket for this latest mess; they usually do. Although voters have such a poor opinion of them that it’s doubtful their approval rating can fall lower. The notion that, having agreed to tax hikes to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff, they’ll surrender to the White House — Yes, yes, more tax hikes, and please, let’s end the
sequester’s real-life curbs on spending growth — at the mo-ment looks fanciful.
A different scenario: The longer this intentionally im-posed air traffic slowdown drags on, the more incompe-tent LaHood and other ad-ministration officials look. They’ve had a year and a half to prepare for a sequester that the White House proposed, and that the president signed into law. Yet their idea of good management is to subject thousands of civilian air con-trollers to rolling furloughs? These officials’ plan for win-ning Americans’ hearts and minds is to toy not only with flight schedules, but also with a moribund economy that re-lies on the efficiency of U.S. air travel?
We note that, except for some party leaders who have no choice but to back their president, not many Demo-crats are, pardon the phrase, flying to his side.
Some of them may think this game of chicken is politi-cally dangerous.
Or they may be thinking about another kind of danger: the first air scare that occurs because an understaffed, over-worked control tower makes a mistake.

Public outrage to the sequester hasn’t happened, much to the President’s disappointment. The percentage of Americans who didn’t think the se-quester cuts are affecting the economy rose by 13 points over the prior month.
Dear Register readers,I woke up really early this
morning, a little after 5 a.m. Emerson Lynn was in my thoughts and I wanted to write him another note. I wanted to write about his contributions to Iola Industries. Around 6 o’clock, I got up and wrote this letter.
Dear Emerson,How many hours, how
many days, how many weeks, months and years have you spent, Emerson, thinking, planning and working for the people of Iola and Allen Coun-ty?
Nobody but you really knows that number, but every-one in Iola Industries appreci-ates that number ….. the time you spent doing your best to
get the best for Iola and all of the surrounding area.
I know we have thanked you before, but I want to say once again, “Thank you, Emerson” for all you have done. We hope you know how much we appre-ciate your leadership in this organization.
Your friend, Mary Kay
In a couple of hours, I learned that Emerson had passed away at just about the time I was writing this note. Emerson was Chairman of the Board of Iola Industries from 1969 to 2003, 34 years. I know that I speak for the entire Iola Industries board when I say, we will miss him greatly.
Mary Kay Heard,Chairman of the Board,
Iola Industries
Letter to the editor
Statewide, Kansas receives about $1.12 in federal spend-ing for every tax dollar paid.
Though many Kansans like to complain about fed-eral spending, they may not realize, or won’t admit, how dependent our state is on that spending. If they are se-rious about wanting smaller government, they will have to share the pain of spending cuts.
A Kansas City Star inves-tigation published in the Sunday Eagle highlighted Sumner County, just south of Wichita. It noted how the direct federal benefits that the county’s 24,000 residents received in 2010 were 40 to 50 percent more, on average, than what they paid in fed-eral taxes.
The largest spending was on Social Security and Medicare, but federal fund-ing also went for farm subsi-dies, Medicaid, food stamps, school lunches, economic development, aviation im-provements and many other programs and projects that support the county’s citi-zens and economy. And this doesn’t include noncash federal benefits, such as tax breaks for health insurance or mortgage interest.
Sumner County is not unique. In fact, the Star chose it because it was typical of most of rural America, and federal expenditures there fell within expected ranges. Sedgwick County actually topped the state in receiving
the most federal spending — $4.6 billion in 2010. State-wide, Kansas receives about $1.12 in federal spending for every tax dollar paid.
Yet many Kansans don’t think of their state or them-selves as “takers.”
“People don’t connect the dots,” Shelley Hansel-Wil-liams, executive director of the Wellington Area Cham-ber of Commerce, told the Star.
This is particularly the case with Social Security. Many senior citizens resent the term “entitlement,” ar-guing that they are merely getting back what they paid in during a lifetime of work-ing. But Social Security tax-es don’t go into an account that is saved for when you retire. Rather, the taxes you pay now help pay for people who are already retired. And most senior citizens receive far more in benefits than they contributed in taxes.
Even modest changes to Social Security, such as President Obama’s proposal to slow the inflation rate on benefits, are met with fierce opposition.
The nation’s budget prob-lem is serious and will re-quire spending cuts, entitle-ment reforms and more tax revenue. A first step to meet-ing this challenge is recog-nizing how much we benefit from federal spending, and how we all need to be part of the solution.

Week of April 21, 1953A song “Highway 54,” writ-
ten by Mrs. Alma Wise of Iola, was adopted as the official song of the National Highway 54 Association at the conven-tion here Saturday morning. It was played by Mrs. Wise as an accordion solo and later sung by Milford Langley, ad-vertising director of the asso-ciation.
*****This morning the Iola City
Commission was urged by a group of citizens to call a special election to vote on two
proposals. One proposal to is-sue $60,000 in bonds to meet the city’s share of construc-tion of a new National Guard armory, and the other propos-al to start a half mill levy to finance the promotion of new industries in Iola.
1963The passing into history
of Iola’s “number please” op-erator system Sunday brought about a change of employ-ment for 29 Iola women. The dial system equipment elimi-nated the need for even one operator at the local telephone office. A front page photo-
graph illustrating this story is of the two remaining female employees at the local office: Thelma Roberts and Lucille Mahan. Roberts has been with the company 34 years and has a record of perfect attendance. Mrs. Mahan has been with Bell for 26 years.
*****John H. Wille, 73, president
of Piqua State Bank, died yes-terday at Allen County Hos-pital in Iola after an illness of several months. His father, George Wille, founded the bank, which John operated for the past 54 years.

Shaban said it was a “rare honor to have the governor here,” and that as his company’s representative he was
pleased GTECH was having a positive role in the education of Iola children.
Taylor noted the Kan-sas Lottery started with a vote of Kansans more than 26 years ago and that it had two roles, to entertain and raise money for economic de-velopment.
He added his compli-ments to GTECH, as a company that cared enough to help with
children’s education.

ing on North Chestnut Street. As the business grew even more, Jim knew he couldn’t keep up with demand without hiring more help.
“Some days I felt like I was coming apart like a two-dollar watch,” he said.
Kendal Catt and Tim Graham, who have been with the company 17 and 19 years respectively, are some of Jim’s most trust-ed employees. Kendal has taken on a lot of the re-sponsibility that Jim car-ried in the earlier days.
Jim said he was in-volved in a motorcycle accident in 2011, and was incapacitated for four
months — his employ-ees, along with Vickie, stepped up to the plate.
“I learned the business can run without Jim Tholen,” he said.
“The guys really stepped up to the plate,” Vickie chimed in.
With the help of his trustworthy employees and loyal customer base (Vickie said they have between 2,500 and 3,000 customers), the business has grown to larger pro-portions than the Tho-lens would have ever ex-pected. They work with six Super Walmarts, 50 Century Line telephone buildings and Gates Manufacturing — not to
mention all of their resi-dential clients.
Jim said he can’t fully accept any credit for his success. After becoming a devout Christian in 1979, he believes God has “had his hand” on his business.
“He deserves the cred-it,” Jim said.
There are still some echoes of the early days, working out of the ga-rage. The Tholens still have a LAN line in their home for on-call emer-gencies, a testament to their dedication to the business. But, Jim said, he hopes to retire at some point, and leave most of the responsibilities to his
employees.“I like where I am,”
Jim said. “I’m not work-ing under the gun all of the time.”
Vickie had a simple an-swer for where the busi-ness has taken her and her husband.
“I can’t complain,” she said.
THE OPEN HOUSE is Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., in celebration of the many customers of the business.
There will be food, gift bags for customers and special offers on warran-ties with new units. KIKS will be on the scene as well, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

raised about $3,500 of $5,000 needed for the trip.
The yard sale will start at 7:30 a.m. and will feature items rounded up by stu-dents and parents and donated by the general public.
“We hope people will dig into their garages and basements bring things for us to sell,” Stanley said.
Sale items may be dropped at the school anytime today, Friday or Saturday morning.
“We’ll price what’s brought in and try to
sell it,” Stanley said.The students had a
bake sale last week-end at Walmart, which raised better than $950, and a school-wide penny war before that, in which students do-nated pennies — about $400 worth — with the top classes engaging in a water balloon skir-mish. A dance raised more than $600.
“We’ve also had some nice donations and would welcome more,” Stanley said.
Iola High’s history team also qualified for national competition and has raised enough money for its trip.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Emerson Lynn Jr., who became one of Kan-sas’ best-known editorial writers as the longtime publisher of The Iola Register, died Wednesday after a career in journal-ism spanning more than 60 years. He was 88.
The Register said Lynn died at a Topeka hospice where he’d been receiv-ing care after being di-agnosed with cancer ear-lier this year. He was the newspaper’s publisher from 1965 until 2000, when he sold it to his daughter, Susan, who remains edi-tor and publisher.
Lynn retained the title of associate editor and continued to write edi-torials until earlier this year. He was inducted into the Kansas Newspa-per Hall of Fame in 2001.
Doug Anstaett, execu-tive director of the Kan-sas Press Association, said Lynn’s editorial voice “rang all across the state and region.” An-staett compared Lynn to famed Emporia editor
William Allen White and said Lynn could write tough editorials without being boisterous or rude.
“He could really write biting editorials with a calm voice,” Anstaett said. “He didn’t have to raise his voice.”
Lynn served in the Air Force during World War II before working as edi-tor and publisher at news-papers in Humbolt, Kan., and Bowie, Texas, in the 1950s and 1960s. The Iola newspaper was owned by his grandfather and uncle before Lynn purchased it from his uncle in 1965.
In addition to being a member of the Kansas Newspaper Hall of Fame, Lynn also received the KPA’s career mentoring award and its lifetime Master Editor award. Kansas State University’s rural development insti-tute also honored him last year with its first lifetime achievement award for a commitment to commu-nity journalism.
He also was a regu-lar panelist on “Kansas Week,” a Wichita public television program exam-
ining Kansas politics and government. He served on the board of the Wil-liam Allen White Foun-dation at the University of Kansas and was a past KPA president.
“Kansas just lost one of its finest journal-ists,” said Kia Breaux, The Associated Press Chief of Bureau for Kan-sas, Missouri and Iowa. “Emerson symbolized the qualities that Kan-sas journalism is known for — fairness, precision and, ultimately, the drive for accountability of our elected leaders. Our con-dolences go to Emerson’s family, and those who knew and worked for him.”
Lynn also was active in community groups and served on the State Highway Commission, as well as state advisory panels on the judiciary and economic develop-ment.
His wife of 59 years, Mickey, died in 2009. They had four children.
The Register said his family plans a May 4 me-morial service.

gether correctly,” said Dayton. “He’s in a little more pain (after sur-gery) but he’s breathing better.”
Dayton said a venti-lator had been inserted and “the way I under-stand it, he’s breathing about 50 percent on his own.”
In addition to surgery for rib repair, a proce-dure was performed to “clean out debris and
bacteria from the upper lobe of his right lung, which had collapsed,” Dayton said. “He’s had several MRIs and they’re not going to deal much with (damage to) his neck vertebra until he’s stronger.”
Sutterby is being treated in the hospital’s intensive care unit.
“We sure appreciate everyone’s concern and their prayers,” Dayton added.

ACC ATHLETES MAKE THEIR MARKS
Photos by Vince DeGradoAllen Community College’s Dakota Parker, above, runs in the 4x1-mile relay while Michael Burns, below at left, prepares to receive a handoff from Jordan Fountain in a 4x100-meter relay last weekend.
Red Devils qualify for nationals in several eventsAllen Community College’s
track teams put up with nasty weather while contending with some of the most highly skilled athletes in the Midwest during four straight days of activity.
The Red Devils traveled to Lawrence Thursday through Saturday for the KU Relays before converging upon War-rensburg Sunday for the Cen-tral Missouri Mule Relays.
The competitions allowed Allen athletes to post several national qualifying marks, and a school record to boot.
“Considering it was a high of 39 and a low of 29 through-out the night (Thursday), I felt our distance runners stepped up as best they could,” ACC coach Vince DeGrado said. “That might have been the coldest track meet I have ever attended.”
The conditions were par-ticularly brutal for Allen’s steeplechase runners. A stee-plechase is a distance race in which runners must clear sev-eral large hurdles and jump through a small water pit.
Jacob Spence overcame the cold to earn a national quali-fying mark in the 3000-meter steeplechase with a time of 9 minutes, 52.28 seconds, which
was only 3 seconds off the school record.
“I can’t help but wonder if Jake had better weather to run, he would have run 10 to 12 seconds faster.”
Brock Artis and Gabby Ruiz both qualified in the men’s and women’s 10,000-meter runs, re-spectively, in Thursday’s com-petition. Artis finished 27th with a time of 32:48.36, while Ruiz’s mark was 38:21.59.
Both had to run through a
biting wind with flurries, De-Grado said.
“Times were running 30 to 35 seconds slower than nor-mal, but all that matters with weather like that was to qual-ify and compete,” DeGrado said.
Conditions improved a tad Friday, although they still weren’t ideal, DeGrado said.
Because of Kansas Univer-sity’s track configuration, Al-len was able to run a 4x1-mile
relay, a rarity nowadays.The quartet of Dakota Park-
er, Tegan Michael, Josh Whit-taker and Kevin White broke the old school record by fin-ishing in 18:00.61, qualifying for nationals to boot.
“That probably explains why the record stood the test of time, because it’s such a rare event that isn’t run any-more,” DeGrado said.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — This year’s NFL draft is heavy on size and light on glamour.
There’s no high-profile quarterback destined to go No. 1 and instantly become the face of a downtrodden franchise. There’s not even a running back or wide receiver worthy of the top overall pick, someone with the kind of swagger that wins over fans weary of losing.
Nope, there’s just beef. And lots of it.
There’s 6-foot-6, 306-pound Luke Joeckel, the offensive tackle from Texas A&M whom the Kan-sas City Chiefs are expect-ed to select first overall. There’s also Eric Fisher of Central Michigan and Lane Johnson of Oklahoma, two more 300-pounders who could be snapped up in the first 10 picks.
Even the defensive side of the ball is big on big-ness: Florida’s Sharrif Floyd, Utah’s Star Lotulelei and Sylvester Williams of North Carolina are consid-ered premium space eaters.
Utilitarian? Sure. Flashy? Not so much.
“There are a lot of good football players there,” Broncos President John El-way insisted. “It’s kind of a matter of what kind of fla-vor you like, but there are plenty of defensive line-men — not only defensive ends but defensive linemen — in this draft, and it’s deeper than most.”
Only twice since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970 has an offensive tackle been chosen first overall, but the Chiefs figure to make it three shortly after 7 p.m. CDT at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
Joeckel is considered the surest thing in a draft full of uncertainty.
He protected the blind
LAWRENCE — A select group of Humboldt High School track athletes competed Friday and Saturday in one of the most prestigious competitions in the Midwest.
Humboldt’s Tanner McNutt gath-ered a sixth-place finish in the boys long jump with a distance of 21 feet, 8 inches; a ninth-place finish in the 400-meter dash at 50.56 seconds; and 11th in the 800-meter run at 1 minute, 59.18 seconds.
Sam Aguirre, meanwhile, finished 28th in the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 16.35 seconds and 31st in the 300-meter hurdles, finishing in 43.32 seconds.
Humboldt’s 4x400-meter relay team of McNutt, Aguirre, Ethan Bartlett and Hayden Boring combined to finish 30th in the preliminaries with a time of 3:37.57.
The 4x100-meter relay team of Bryce Isaac, Bartlett, Boring and Aguirre was disqualified because of an exchange violation.
Boring, Isaac, Aguirre and Bartlett ran in the Sunflower Showdown 4x400, a competition among the top eight teams in the state that did not qualify for the finals of the regular relay race. Their time of 3:46.18 was good for eighth.

DETROIT — It is here, in games like this against De-troit, the league’s reigning champion, where the Roy-als know they must prove themselves to be contend-ers rather than something far more familiar.
This was only a first chapter Wednesday night — the first of 19, in fact — but it still amounted to a disappointing case of not-quite. The Royals built a three-run lead before see-ing it collapse in a 7-5 loss at Comerica Park.
It was sloppy on both sides on a frigid night where temperatures dipped into the 30s in the early innings. Pitchers on both sides struggled to find the strike zone. Walks and deep counts proliferated.
“That was some of the worst conditions I’ve ever played in,” right fielder Jeff Francoeur said. “I couldn’t feel my hands for the last three or four in-nings.”
Still ... the Royals had a lead and couldn’t hold it.
They erased an early 1-0 deficit by scoring four
times in the third against Tigers starter Max Scher-zer, but Wade Davis gave it all back and more before exiting with two outs and two on in fourth inning.
“I was just behind ev-erybody and didn’t make pitches,” Davis said. “Even when I did make pitches, they hit them. You get a team like that any oppor-tunity to score some runs, they’re going to do it.”
Davis, 2-1, was so sharp in his last start, a 1-0 vic-tory in Atlanta, but never found a groove in the raw Michigan conditions. He threw just 50 of 95 pitches for strikes while giving up seven runs and eight hits.
Four runs were un-earned.
Those four all came in the fourth after a costly er-ror by third baseman Mike Moustakas, whose offen-
sive woes also deepened. He went hitless in four at-bats with two strikeouts and left four runners in scoring position.
“I came up in a couple of situations with guys on base, and I just didn’t get the job done,” he said. “That’s why we play base-ball. We get to go out there and get them again tomor-row. Every day is a new day.”

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.

On Saturday, Whittak-er, Michael, Tucker Mor-gan and Evan Adams teamed in the 4x880-yard relay to finish fourth in 7:52.10, another national qualifying mark. The group missed its own school record by .08.
Morgan, Adams, Gar-rett Colglazier and Ro-drick Simmons teamed to set another school record in the distance medley relay Saturday, finishing seventh with a time of 10:40.07. Again, that race was run in yards rather than me-ters, DeGrado noted.
“The 4x880 relay team wasn’t ranked very high but put a solid perfor-mance together,” De-Grado said. “Again the weather played a role,
but this happens. The 4x100-meter relay team didn’t fare as well due to botched handoffs. Some-times that happens with that relay. Coach (Tony) Davis wasn’t happy one bit, because he knows this team is better than what they showed out there.”
Even with the difficul-ties, “We held our own as usual with this caliber of meet,” DeGrado said.
THE WEATHER im-proved markedly for Sunday’s trip to Mis-souri, and so did Allen’s times.
The 4x100-meter relay team of Rodrick Sim-mons, Jethro St. Hubert, Jordan Fountain and Michael Burns won with a time of 41.35 seconds, qualifying for nationals
in the process.“We changed the legs
up and it proved to be a positive result,” De Grado said. “They ran 41.35, even with two semi-botched handoffs. When they clean those up, they’ll run under 41 seconds easily.”
Bruce Barclay also ran a personal best in the 110-meter hurdles, finishing in seventh in 14.32 seconds, which also was a national qualify-ing mark.
“This was a very low-key meet,” DeGrado said, featuring a num-ber of NCAA Division II, NAIA and junior col-lege athletes. “It served a great purpose for some of our athletes.”
The Red Devils will travel to the Butler
County Relays Saturday before heading to Great Bend May 3 and 4 for the Region VI Champion-ships.

side of Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Man-ziel last season, won the Outland Trophy as col-lege football’s top interi-or lineman, and wowed just about everyone at the NFL’s annual scout-ing combine with his speed, agility and, yes, his size.
“I think this year, the offensive line position has some true prospects in it,” Chiefs general manager John Dorsey said. “Every draft has its own unique set of char-acteristics. Last year’s draft had its own unique set of characteristics. This year’s draft has its unique characteristics.”
Last year’s draft made for must-see TV.
One of the deepest quarterback crops in recent years stoked the passions of fan bases in several NFL cities, including Indianapo-lis, which took Andrew Luck with the first over-all pick.
It was the fourth straight year that a quar-terback went No. 1.
The run of signal-callers didn’t stop there, either. The Redskins traded up to select Heis-man Trophy winner Robert Griffin III at No. 2, and two more quar-terbacks went in the first round.
West Virginia’s Geno Smith is expected to go in the first round this year, perhaps as early as No. 2 to Jacksonville. But out-side the strong-armed but erratic quarterback, the market at the NFL’s most critical position is weak. That means a handful of teams in need — Oakland, Buf-falo, Cleveland, Philadel-phia and Arizona among them — might wait until later in the draft to make their move.
That’s all assuming that no trades are made on the opening night.
Quarterbacks who could still be on the board when the draft resumes with the sec-ond round Friday night include USC’s Matt Bar-kley, Florida State’s E.J. Manuel and Ryan Nassib of Syracuse.
