Schmidt touts need for new CSI labBy SUSAN LYNN

susan@iolaregister.comCriminals in Kansas may

be receiving reduced sentenc-es or are having their charges completely dismissed due to a lack of timely prosecution, said Derek Schmidt, Kansas attorney general.

The reason: Inadequate fo-rensics capabilities.

The solution: A new foren-sics lab with expanded capa-bilities and additional work-force.

Schmidt was the featured speaker at the Iola Area Chamber of Commerce’s an-nual meeting Friday night at the Dr. John Silas Bass Com-munity Building.

“The average turn-around time for digital evidence is now 14 months for a person facing major felony charges,” Schmidt said. “For those with lesser crimes, usually the cases are returned to a local agency because we don’t have the manpower to process the data. In those cases, the charg-es are greatly reduced, if not dismissed.”

In a recent survey, 41 per-cent of local law enforcement agencies said they had dis-missed criminal charges at one time or another because they couldn’t get forensic lab information in a timely man-

ner, Schmidt said.The Kansas Bureau of In-

vestigation has been a divi-sion of the attorney general’s office since 1939, including its lab services that test DNA samples and toxicology re-ports, as well as analyze data gathered from digital media and GPS tracking.

“The expectations are tre-mendous. And everyone ex-pects us to have an Abby Sciu-to on board,” Schmidt said of

the character who portrays a forensics scientist on the TV program “NCIS.”

Three things are working against the forensics depart-ment.

A) The facility is in the basement of an abandoned Topeka middle school built in 1929, and renovated in the 1980s;

B) Salaries are $15,000 be-low the national average for forensics scientists, who typi-cally have a Ph.D. in a variety of sciences. “The demand for their skills is high from both the private and the public sec-tors. Today’s scientists can pretty much go where they want,” Schmidt said.

C) Kansas does not provide a complete forensics science program. “Odds are, kids will have to go out of state for their education to become a forensics scientist, and then it’s hard to get them to return. There’s no growing and keep-ing our own.”

The new $55 million foren-sics center would be on the campus of Washburn Univer-sity in Topeka. In his State of the State address, Gov. Brown-back approved the facility, saying the first $3.5 million for architectural, engineering and finance planning would

come from the transportation budget. Washburn has agreed to donate the land for the facil-

ity as well as create a forensic science curriculum.

B&B’s success can be double-edged sword

By STEVEN SCHWARTZsteven@iolaregister.com

Kim Larios is faced with an interesting situation.

She is the owner of B&B Cafe, and business is booming — for better or worse.

“Each year I’m astounded by the increase in business,” Larios said. However, she said her restaurant is currently operating out of its range on many days during the week.

“It’s rough on us, on Fri-day and Saturday we are all running,” she said. “We don’t want all of the business.”

The cafe operates on a small

scale, and she said the demand for homestyle cooking in Iola is too great for her restau-

Coronado’s eyes options for future

By STEVEN SCHWARTZsteven@iolaregister.com

“We are doing something good. We aren’t what we used to be,” Cleto Coronado said with a smile.

As proprietor of Corona-do’s mexican food restaurant, Coronado is ready for the next step. A healthy business cli-mate gives him the confidence to expand his menu.

“Since December, business has gone up steadily,” Coro-nado said. “I’m seeing a lot of people that I haven’t seen in a long time.”

The influx is large enough to make some changes — an effort to repay the people that Cleto Coronado with his

Mike McKinnis has in-formed The Register he will not assume the role of Ward Three city council represen-tative, even though he won the position in Tuesday’s general election.

McKinnis, who is moving in May to Ward Four, gar-nered 37 votes (over Gene Myrick’s 28 votes) to put him in the two-year city council

seat along with incumbent Don Becker. Once McKin-nis moves out of his ward, he will be ineligible to represent the council.

As for the open seat, it will be appointed by Iola Mayor Joel Wicoff, along with a vote from the city council mem-bers. The new city council will be sworn in on the April 25 Iola City Council meeting.

Week one has just begun. Fourteen more to go until the July 14 Charlie Melvin 5K walk/run

For Renee Droessler, she’s aiming to run. After four years of walking the mid-night event, Droessler said this is the year she’s going to make a lifestyle change and start exercising. The Charlie Melvin is her excuse for mak-ing it happen.

“The Charlie Melvin has always intimidated me,” she said. “I just never felt I could be a runner again.” Even in the dark of night.

But with the help of friends, and strangers, Droessler feels this year will be different.

Droessler joined about 20 others Saturday morning for

an hour of walking around the track at Allen Communi-

ty College as well as listening to health tips and words of encouragement from orga-nizers of the three-month fit-ness program, sponsored by Thrive Allen County.

Helping with the Saturday morning sessions is Shandy Wrench, who from personal experience can testify that it takes both exercise and a change in diet to effectively lose weight and keep it off. Wrench, 32, weighed more than 360 pounds only six years ago. Today, she’s trim and can run a mile in under 7 minutes.

“In high school, I could run the mile in 14 minutes,” she says with a hint of satisfac-tion of how the aging process is not holding her back.

rant to supply the de-mand on its own. While expansion is something that has crossed her mind, Larios said there is just not an obvious place.

“We’d love to (ex-pand), but there is no place to go,” Larios said. “Right now, in this econ-omy it scares me.”

So she faces the di-lemma of being too “in demand,” but being too small to expand. Larios said B&B serves any-where from 150 to 200 people on any given day, and that’s not including weekends, which are

even busier.She said having a

booming business is definitely not a bad thing inherently, but of-tentimes her restaurant loses customers due to the long wait for food from the small kitchen. She said her high over-head costs and difficul-ty finding dependable help has not helped the process either. She said employees don’t seem to take responsibility for how the cafe operates, and don’t stay for an ex-tended period of time.

“We are a stepping stone to another job, and I can’t blame them (the employees),” Lari-

os said. “But they don’t treat it (the cafe) as if it were theirs.”

Nevertheless, Lar-ios sees a consistent amount of people come through her door — and that can’t be for no rea-son.

“In the restaurant business, consistency is the biggest thing,” she said. “Ninety-five per-cent of our customers are repeat customers. That is what is keeping us in business.”

She said these same customers have been supporting them since they opened in 2006. Larios opened the busi-ness with her partner,

Phyllis Bostick. “We just kind of went

for it,” Larios said. “It was crazy, crazy busy.”

Bostick died in 2009.“I miss her every

day,” Larios said.And now, Larios

must face the decision of what to do next — a liberty that is not of-ten privileged to newer businesses.

Whatever the deci-sion will be, as long as the customers keep coming in, B&B will keep meeting the de-mand.

“They count on us be-ing here as much as we count on them coming in,” she said.

DROESSLER, 40, said she ran track in high school.

But today? “I proba-bly couldn’t jog 500 feet,” she said. “But already, being with this group of people, helps me feel mo-tivated. I lost that moti-vation when exercising by myself.”

The longer days also will help Droessler add exercise to her evenings. She heads out of her home early, commut-ing to Osawatomie each day where she works in medical records at the

state hospital. That puts her home each evening about 5:30.

Walking around the circle of her neighbor-hood on North Walnut Street is a half-mile. Her neighbor, Nancy Ford, is always a willing partner, Droessler said, which will help the effort.

have supported Corona-do’s over the years.

“Now it’s my turn,” he said.

Over the next year, Coronado said he hopes to acquire a liquor li-cense so he can open a full bar. He said they will be able to serve “real” margaritas at that point.

The entryway to the restaurant needs some work, Coronado said, and plans to rebuild and renovate the space to make it more acces-sible.

Cleto’s dreams in-clude his sons, Luke, 3, Caleb, 12, and Isiah, 11.

Cleto held Luke in his lap, playing with bubbles at the table, some spilling on the floor and table.

“This will be their hangout when they are grown up and in high school,” Coronado said.

He hopes to make the family business some-thing more than just a restaurant.

In the long term, he said there is the possi-bility of expanding to the east. Coronado mo-tioned to the other side of the room, sweeping his arm to illustrate the sheer size of what he wants to accomplish — a full bar, pool tables and a stage where country bands can play on the weekends.

But, for now, the Coronado crew will keep doing what he believes they do best. They have been serv-ing up what Coronado deems “Mexi-Kan” food for the past 45 years in his family. Ul-timately, the food is the key to any restaurant’s success, Coronado said.

“I love my food,” he said.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Google has se-lected a Kansas City company to test Google Glass, the search giant’s wearable computer de-vice.

The Kansas City Star reports that Engage Mobile will join other Google Glass testers. The goal is to prepare Google Glass for launch next year.

Engage Mobile is a mobile strategy, devel-opment and marketing

firm. Founder and CEO Darrin Clawson says it was chosen because of its experience develop-ing software for medical industry companies like Cerner Corp. Google’s test also involves coming up with software appli-cations for Google Glass.

Clawson says he’s pro-posed using the eye-glass like device to help pa-tients and doctors moni-tor personal medical devices like heart rate monitors.

To many Americans, the re-cession seemed to come out of nowhere.

In late 2004, the Gross Do-mestic Product (GDP) was soaring at a robust rate of over 4 percent per year. Powered by a billowing housing bubble, the prospects for continued prosperity seemed comfort-ably high.

Then, the economy col-lapsed into the Great Reces-sion. Ever since, analysts have devoted considerable atten-tion to why that happened. But few have questioned how our nation’s leading economic indicator failed so utterly to flag the coming crisis. And fewer still have pondered what

other options for tracking eco-nomic progress might better help avert future meltdowns.

Fortunately, some observ-ers have done this ponder-ing — and then acted upon it. In 2009, with the economic crisis still ravaging the na-tion, Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley established a new metric: the Genuine Progress Indicator. The GPI can more precisely assess what has gone right and wrong in the state’s economy.

Maryland ranked as the richest state in the U.S. in 2011, with a median house-hold income of $70,000 — a full $20,000 higher than the national average. Just like the GDP, that ranking disguises the true story of Maryland

residents.It turns out that in Mary-

land, along with the rest of the nation, nothing has gone more wrong over recent decades than

the distribution of wealth, in-come, and opportunity. Inequal-ity has grown steadily worse in the state, with the richest 3 percent now raking in more than 36 percent of total income, while the poorest 24 percent bring in just 9 percent. But in-equality manifests in so many other ways. And wealth, mean-while, is far more concentrated than income.

The poor in Maryland bear the brunt of environmental degradation, crime, family stress, unemployment, poor health and unsafe living con-ditions. As the ranks of the poor grow and the inequal-ity divide widens, the overall well-being for all Marylanders is declining.

Yet GDP, and its state-level variant Gross State Product, don’t track inequality at all. The top 1 percent can get ever richer, the bottom 99 percent

ever poorer, and these indica-tors only measure economic growth.

Income inequality is one of the 26 things that Maryland’s

Genuine Progress Indicator measures. The GPI also ad-dresses inequality in other di-mensions — such as access to quality education, exposure to environmental toxins, and the amount of time Marylanders spend with their families.

The Center for Sustainable Economy and the Institute for Policy Studies recently researched whether the GPI could be used to estimate the potential economic impact if Maryland returned to a level of equality attained in 1968 — when the state’s income distri-bution was the most even.

The good news is that eco-nomic benefits from this shift would amount to more than $65 billion each year, an amount that is two times larger than the state’s entire budget. A return to more pro-gressive economic policies in place in the state four decades

ago would help bring this about.

Why should we make these changes and rely more on the GPI in the future? Well, to put it simply, standard economic growth indicators aren’t yield-ing enough information. They function like a giant calorie counter. The GPI, by contrast, can pinpoint which calories can make us healthier — and which might eventually kill us.

Had the GPI been in place at the federal level in 2004, the yardstick might have provided advance warning that the eco-nomic meltdown was about to occur, allowing us to take preventive action. Now that it’s being deployed in Mary-land, this new indicator will continue to shine the light on smart economic policies that will truly advance genuine progress for all.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

The trouble with Shelia Lampe is that she’s not a boastful sort.

She doesn’t go around tooting her horn, saying “Look at me!” when she has every right to do so.

So we’ll do it for her.

AS DIRECTOR of the Iola Area Chamber of Com-merce, Lampe has either spearhead-ed or kept alive 10 successful pro g rams including:

• See Hear, Iola m o n t h l y meetings, in partner-ship with Iola banks and the City of Iola; first Friday of every month.

• Cash Mobs — en masse shopping at a selected store.

• Santa House — repaint-ed and updated with the help of a grant through Modern Wood-men of America.

• Gingerbread House project, in conjunction with Iola Public Library and Allen County Extension.

• Home-based business outreach programs.

• Travel- and tourism-based projects.

• Molly Trolley — look for it at the high school prom!

• Human resource work-shops in conjunction with Allen Community College and the state Department of Commerce, and

• Relay for Life, partner-ing with Sonic Equipment.

The results have been more people working to-gether on community-based activities. That the events also help promote Iola and its businesses is the purpose of the Cham-ber.

Too often people ques-

tion whether the Chamber is effective. “What’s it done for me, lately?” they’ll say.

That’s kind of like asking what your church has done for you, whereas the ques-tion should be what are you doing for your church, be-cause only then can it fulfill its potential.

The Iola Chamber can only be what its members put forth. It’s a staff of two, after all.

Friday night’s low turn-out for its annual meeting had to be somewhat of a disappointment for Lampe and her volunteer crew of ambassadors and board members, which is a shame because Derek Schmidt, Kansas attorney general, gave a top-notch address as guest speaker. It’s through Lampe’s wide array of con-nections and friendships that someone of Schmidt’s stature came to Iola for the

occasion. Iola wasn’t on a stop as he was mak-ing a swing through south-east Kansas. Schmidt came specifically for the occasion,

then turned around and went back home to Law-rence after the night’s cel-ebration was over.

LAMPE is a gift to Iola and its businesses. In the short 18 months she’s been on the job she has made great strides in making Iola a more vibrant community and promoting our small burg across the state.

Show your support. Next time you see Shelia or her assistant Aileen Wilson, give them a pat on the back. Better yet, renew your membership in the Cham-ber and get involved in Chamber activities.

Community-building doesn’t happen by itself.

Lampe a beaconfor Iola’s future

Stocks dropped on Friday, after the dismal employment report for March forced inves-tors to rethink the recent rally. Stock prices have been driven up by easy money from the Federal Reserve, but the jobs picture indicates that little of the Fed’s largess has made its way to Main Street, where un-employment remains high.

And those are not the only sobering realities. Trading in today’s market has increasing-ly migrated away from public exchanges, like the New York Stock Exchange, to private trading venues, mostly operat-ed by big banks, as recently re-ported by Nathaniel Popper in The Times. Off-exchange plat-forms include “dark pools” that let traders post orders that are hidden from the rest of the market. They also have “internalizers,” including firms like Citigroup, which pay retail brokers for the op-portunity to handle trades be-fore the orders reach a public exchange.

Off-exchange trading can make sense for institutional investors whose block trades might move market prices. It also appeals to investors who have been shocked by tech-nological mishaps on public

exchanges. But with some 40 percent of stock trades now occurring off-exchange, there is mounting evidence that the shift is obscuring the true prices of stocks, raising the cost of trading and, by exten-sion, damaging investor confi-dence.

Yet the response from American regulators largely has been to watch and wait. The inaction is in contrast to recent moves by Canada and Australia to limit dark trad-

ing. Under new Canadian rules, brokers can fill custom-ers’ orders through dark pools only if the prices are much better than those on a public exchange. Since the rules took effect last fall, it appears that dark pool trading in Canada has dropped sharply.

There is also concern that banks that operate off-ex-change venues may be giving

advance word to the banks’ own traders or selected cli-ents about how dark-pool cus-tomers trade. The Financial Industry Regulatory Author-ity, the industry self-regulator, has been looking into possible breaches but has not yet de-termined if information was improperly shared.

Potential interactions be-tween the off-exchange venues and the high-speed, computer-driven trading that now domi-nates the stock market are

also cause for worry, because increasingly complex systems can malfunction in unexpect-ed and catastrophic ways.

The market cannot be effi-cient if many orders never see the light of day. An inefficient market is neither fair nor stable, which makes a strong regulatory response to protect investors imperative.

Register/Richard LukenAllen Community College’s Tanner Lee delivers a pitch in his complete game victory Saturday against Labette.

By RICHARD LUKENrichard@iolaregister.com

In a season of struggles for Allen Community College’s pitching staff, Tanner Lee con-tinues to be a dominant force.

Lee mowed through visiting Labette with a complete-game, five-hitter Saturday.

Allen’s 3-1 victory, alas, was the only win in a 1-2 weekend for the Red Devils.

Labette responded with a 5-2 win in the second game Friday and an 8-4 victory in an abbreviated game Sunday afternoon. Severe storms cut short Sunday’s contest by an inning and washed away a sec-ond game between the schools.

Lee settled down nicely af-

ter Labette struck for its only run of the game in the first in-ning on an infield single, sac-rifice bunt and an error.

Lee retired 13 of the next 14 Cardinal batters, the only ex-ception reaching on an error. The error was harmless. Lee induced a ground-ball double play to the next batter.

Meanwhile, Jerrik Sigg punched a single through the right side to score Troy Wil-loughby to tie up the score in the bottom of the first. A Cole Slusser single scored Sigg to give ACC a 2-1 lead.

Allen scored its third run without a hit in the bottom of

The Sunday afternoon del-uge, and forecasts for more rain this week, have forced Iola Middle School officials to postpone the IMS Invitational, which had been set for Tues-day at Riverside Park.

The meet will be made up April 22, IMS boys track coach Terry Lower said.

In addition, Marmaton Val-ley High’s golf tournament scheduled for this afternoon at Cedarbrook Golf Course in Iola has been called off. No makeup date has been an-nounced.

PARSONS — Things are looking up in a hurry for Iola High’s Fillies track team.

Iola saw several newcom-ers bring home top finishes at the Parsons Invitational, despite not fielding a full team.

“This was an excellent meet for the girls,” Coach Marv Smith said, adding that had Iola likely would have scored points in the pole vault, 300-meter hurdles and 4x400-meter relay had they had a full team.

“If we have those entries, we’re looking at 95 to 100 points,” Smith said, “some-thing not dreamed of last week.”

Iola took home fourth place as a team, racking up 75 points in the process.

Leading the way was soph-omore Emery Driskel, who won the 100-meter high hur-dles. She finished with a time of 17.5 seconds, despite run-

ning into a stiff headwind.The win came in Driskel’s

first meet of the year. She

training is paying off for him and an organization dedicated to researching pancreatic cancer.

The 43-year-old Albuquer-que, N.M., resident passed through Iola Saturday as part of B.J. Walks America, a cross-country walk to ben-efit the Lustgarten Founda-tion for Pancreatic Cancer Research.

The trek is fulfilling a life-long dream of Timoner’s, who lost both his grandfa-ther and father to pancre-atic cancer.

“I lost my dad when I was 5 years old,” Timoner said. “This means a lot to me.”

The goal, he said, is to reach Beth Page, N.Y., by the last week in June. He began the trek Jan. 1 in Santa Mon-ica, Calif.

Timoner tries to walk be-tween 18 and 20 miles daily, he said.

Red Devils earn weekend splitsBy RICHARD LUKEN

softball coach Jamie Amer-ine thought she was watching a television rerun at times, as the Red Devils put forth vir-tual carbon copies on the dia-mond Friday and Saturday.

On both days, Allen’s Au-dra Nelson sparkled from the pitching circle. She shut down Pratt’s batters on Fri-day and Dodge City’s on Sat-urday to nab wins in the first game of doubleheaders.

Nelson shut down Pratt 2-1 Friday and Dodge City 3-1 Saturday.

But the highlights ended there. Allen’s pitching and defense struggled in the

nightcaps.Pratt rebounded to romp

to an 11-0 win in the second game Friday. Then Dodge City bounced back on Satur-day afternoon to defeat ACC 10-2.

The doubleheaders capped a busy six-game-in-three-day stretch for Allen, which went 4-2.

The frenetic play may have proven to be an elixir of sorts for the Red Devils, Amerine said.

After dropping 18 of their first 19 games of the season, Allen has won four of its past six.

The Red Devils have an-other busy week ahead, if weather permits. Allen is in

Kansas City, Kan., Tuesday before hosting Cottey College Wednesday and traveling to Cowley and Independence next weekend.

“We really want to get those games in because it gets harder and harder to reschedule them,” Amerine said.

NELSON’S TOUGHNESS, particularly with runners on base, was key to her victories.

She stranded runners in scoring position in five of the seven innings in the win over Pratt. She allowed six hits and one walk, with two strikeouts.

Meanwhile, Kaitlyn Rash pounded a home run over the

left field fence in the bottom of the first to give ACC a 1-0 lead.

After Pratt tied it up in the second, both teams threat-ened on several occasions from there. Allen’s Maecy Charleston was stranded in scoring position in the sec-ond and fourth innings.

Annie Gentry led off the fifth with a single but was gunned down at the plate. The tie-breaking score was aided by a pair of Pratt errors. Nor-ris was credited with an RBI after Pratt’s second baseman misplayed her ground ball. She drove in Taylor Easum, who also reached on an error.

PARSONS — A short-handed Iola High Mustang track squad became even more limited with an un-timely injury Friday.

Tyler McIntosh suffered a hamstring injury on his third attempt in the long jump, forcing Iola coach Marv Smith to scratch all three of the Mustang relay efforts at the Parsons Invita-tional.

The low numbers rel-egated Iola to seventh place

in the team scores, well be-hind meet champion Field Kindley of Coffeyville. Field Kindley racked up 117 points, followed by Labette County’s 111 and Chanute’s 99.

Iola wound up with 38 team points.

Smith explained Iola only took seven boys to Parsons. McIntosh was going to be a centerpiece on the relay teams.

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.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Billy Butler hit a grand slam that was con-firmed by video review and tied a Royals fran-chise record with seven RBIs, and Kansas City held on for a 9-8 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday.

Butler’s fifth-inning homer, the first slam of his career and the first ever allowed by Phila-delphia left-hander Cole Hamels, put Kansas City ahead 6-4.

James Shields (1-1), acquired in an offseason trade with Tampa Bay, earned his first victory as a Royal. The right-hander gave up hits to five of the first six bat-ters in a four-run first inning, but settled down to blank the Phillies for the next five innings on five hits while striking out eight and walking none.

Butler came through with the bases loaded again in the sixth, hit-ting a two-run single off Chad Durbin. With the hit, Butler became the 12th Royals player have seven RBIs.

Chris Getz opened the fifth with a double to right, Alex Gordon reached on an infield single and Alcides Esco-bar walked to load the bases and set up Butler.

Hamels (0-2) appeared visibly upset through-out the inning, perhaps disagreeing with some close balls and strikes calls by home-plate um-pire Eric Cooper. His mood didn’t improve when Butler launched a 1-0 fastball just over the metal fence that tops the green padded wall in left field. The ball hit off a wall behind the field wall and bounced back into play.

The umpires origi-nally ruled that the ball hit off the top of the wall before going to replay to confirm that it was a homer.

The Phillies looked on their way to the loss trailing 9-4 entering the ninth before rallying.

Jimmy Rollins hit a three-run homer to right off J.C. Gutierrez. Greg Holland relieved Gutier-rez with one out in the ninth. He got Chase Ut-ley to pop out to center before singles by Ryan Howard and Michael Young, who had four hits, put runners on first and second with two outs.

Kansas City manager Ned Yost then lifted Hol-land, who blew the save in Saturday’s 4-3 loss to Philadelphia, and re-placed him with right-hander Kelvin Herrera to face pinch-hitter Laynce Nix.

Nix singled home Howard to pull Phila-delphia to 9-8 and Young and Nix advanced to second and third on a wild pitch. But Herrera struck out Erik Kratz in a nine-pitch at-bat to earn his first save.

Iola High’s Tyler Heinrich went 1-2 Saturday and earned a second-place medal Saturday in No. 1 singles at the Neodesha Invitational Tennis meet. Others competing for Iola were the doubles team of Bryan Mueller and Colby Works, who went 2-3 and took third place; the doubles team of Stephen McDonald and Mason Key, who went 1-2, and singles player Ankit Gandhi, who went 0-3 on the day.

The Cardinals (34-5) rallied from a dozen points down in the sec-

Timoner cut short an earlier trek in 2011 be-cause of a minor heart attack — he picked up where he left off about four months later to complete the journey — and “I wasn’t in the best of shape when I started

this trip,” he acknowl-edged.

But the steady exer-cise has been beneficial.

“I feel great,” he said. “I haven’t had any troubles.”

Timoner is actually ahead of schedule. He passed through Iola two days earlier than he pre-dicted when mapping out his course.

He hopes to reach St. Louis, Mo., by April 29, and through Ohio by the

end of May.If all goes well, Tim-

oner will double back along the southern Unit-ed States, walking from Tybee Island, Ga., back to Santa Monica, a total of 5,800 miles in all.

Information about Timoner’s trip is available online at bjwalksamerica.com. The website also con-tains a link to the Lust-garten Foundation.

Other potential run-ners were held out be-cause of injury, such as Tyler Powelson, who has a sore hamstring.

“After his 800, we stopped him the rest of the meet,” Smith said.

Meanwhile, Michael Wilson was kept home because Parsons did not have a pole vault compe-tition, his specialty. An-other potential runner, Jacob Cooper, was out of town with a church youth group, and Blaine Klubek was not in school.

“I needed an 800 run-ner,” Smith joked. “I

looked at Eli Grover, but all I got back was a scowl.”

Grover specializes in throwing events. He was among Iola’s top finish-ers, taking third in the discus, with a throw of 113 feet, 1 inch, fourth in the shot put with a dis-tance of 40’11”.

Elsewhere, Jacob Har-rison took home second in the 400-meter dash, finishing in 53.3 seconds, and fifth in the 200-meter dash, finishing in 23.9 seconds.

Powelson finished fourth in the 800-meter dash, sore hamstring

and all, with a time of 2 minutes, 8.8 seconds.

Adam Kauth brought home fifth-place finishes in the 110-meter high hurdles (17.4 seconds), and in the 300-meter in-termediate hurdles (43.8 seconds). Kauth also took seventh in the high jump, clearing 5’6”.

“With no pole vault points, no relays and no long jump or triple jump points, we had quite a struggle,” Smith said. “We were four points back of Labette County last week, but finished 70 points behind them at Parsons.”

had to leave the meet prior to another poten-tial gold in the 300-meter hurdles due to a sched-ule conflict with her club volleyball team.

“This was a very good race for Emery,” Smith said.

Meanwhile, Abigail Taylor racked up a pair of silver medals, taking second in the 3200-meter run with a time of 12 min-utes, 48.9 seconds, and in the 1600-meter runs, with a mark of 5:40.8.

“Again, she had to run into the wind eight times for the 3200,” Smith said. “This was a good time.”

Since Parsons did not field a pole vault, Iola’s Breanna Stout was look-ing for something to do.

Smith inserted her into the javelin.

She responded with a silver medal, throw-ing a distance of 99 feet, 7 inches. Even more impressively, Stout’s throw came about with a shorter approach than her competitors. She used only a five-step ap-proach.

“She was reluctant to try the javelin until I mentioned running

the 400 meters, and she couldn’t get to (Coach Pat) Lonergan fast enough,” Smith joked. Lonergan coaches Iola’s

throwers.“The javelin is a very

technical event,” Smith said. “It’s nothing like throwing a baseball or football, but she is pick-ing it up quickly.”

Darci Collins im-proved her shot put mark considerably to take bronze with a dis-tance of 35’5”.

Ashley Campbell — also in her first competi-tion of 2013 — took third in the high jump, clear-ing 5 feet. She followed up her bronze with fifth-place finishes in the 400-meter dash (1:06.3) and in the 200-meter dash (28.1 seconds).

Cassie Delich claimed third in the 300-meter hurdles with a time of 55.5 seconds, and fifth in the 100-meter hurdles with a mark of 18.9 sec-onds.

Driskel, Stout, Delich and Campbell were hampered with a bad ex-change in the 4x100-me-ter dash. They finished fifth with a time of 54.3 seconds.

Stout nabbed seventh in the high jump, clear-ing 4’6”. Collins was eighth in the discus at 76’11”.

Rash had two hits, in-cluding her home run. Charleston went 3-for-3, while Mary Reilly and Gentry had singles.

Pratt led 4-0 in the second game before scoring seven runs in the sixth inning to erase any doubt, taking advantage of four ACC errors in the process.

Rash took the loss, giving up six hits and a walk with two strike-outs. Nelson pitched an inning, giving up five hits and a walk. Only four of the 11 runs were earned.

Reilly went 2-for-2 at the plate for ACC. Charleston singled.

IN SATURDAY’S opener, Dodge City put runners in scoring posi-

tion in five of the seven innings before Nelson slammed the door. She stranded seven Dodge City runners, while al-lowing seven hits and a walk with six strikeouts.

“I was really im-pressed with her pitch-ing and we had good de-fense,” Amerine said.

Charleston threw out Dodge City’s Ashley Stevenson at the plate from center field in the top of the third.

Easum and Norris got the offense started on the right foot. The pair led off the first with singles. Easum scored on a passed ball before Rash drove in Norris on a sacrifice fly.

Paige Rothwell dou-bled and scored on a passed ball for ACC’s third run in the bottom

of the fourth.Rothwell, Kaylee

Lucas and Gentry had doubles. Easum, Norris and Rash had singles.

DODGE CITY took control early on in the nightcap, scoring one in the first and four in the second.

Charleston doubled to lead off the second for ACC. She scored on Lucas’ single. Roth-well’s two-out double in the third scored Rash.

Nelson took the loss, giving up five hits and two walks. Rash fol-lowed with three in-nings of relief, giving up three hits and two walks with a strikeout.

Easum, Rothwell and Charleston had dou-bles. Reilly, Rash and Lucas had singles.

Folk rebounded in a big way at Humboldt speedway Friday.

Folk led wire to wire Friday in the modified feature, doing so with a backup engine.

One week prior, Folk was challenging for the lead a few short laps short of a coveted start-ing spot in the USMTS King of America main feature when his en-gine failed.

Folk has a replace-ment ordered, but de-cided to race Friday with his backup en-gine.

The engine was tuned in from the start as he romped to wins in his heat and the fea-ture.

Ryan McAmincet wrestled the second

spot away from Cody Schniepp, who finished third. Travis Smith was fourth, Luke Driskell fifth.

The modified fea-ture capped an excit-ing night of racing on a windy Friday evening.

Jeremy Willard and Derrek Wilson offered a scintillating pure stock feature show. The drivers were chal-lenged at various points by Levi Phillips, Donnie Devers and Ben Haddox.

After a number of wrecks and mechanical failures shook up the field down the stretch. Willard and Wilson re-mained on top.

Willard made a clean pass late in the race to claim the win. Wilson was second, followed by

Devers in third. Brad Carrol took fourth and Eldon McIntosh fifth.

Scott Stuart re-mained undefeated in factory stock for 2013, but not without a chal-lenge.

Jay Lamons chal-lenged Stuart in the feature before collid-ing with a third car, preventing any hope for a pass for the lead. Laymons took second, Adam Pop third, Da-vid Matlock fourth and Clint Drake fifth.

Riley Whitworth grabbed his first B-mod feature win since 2011, leading wire to wire in the process. Tyler Kidwell finished second, Jake Rich-ards third, Curt Drake fourth and Jason Thur-man fifth.

the sixth. Cody Amer-ine was hit by a pitch, advanced to second on Trey Francis’ sacrifice bunt and scored on an error off the bat of Clint Heffern.

Lee wobbled a bit in the top of the seventh, allowing two hits before retiring the final batter on a ground out with two aboard.

He struck out nine Cardinal batters, three of whom were caught looking.

Willoughby, Sigg and Slusser each had two singles. Francis also sin-gled.

LABETTE BROKE open a scoreless dead-lock with three runs in the top of the fourth against ACC starter Geoffrey Borque. The big blast was a two-run home run by Pat Dudkie-

wicz.Allen closed the gap

to 3-2 in the bottom of the sixth. Nate Arnold led off the inning with a solo home run. Fran-cis doubled in Slusser for the other run before Cardinal starter Andrew Davis retired ACC’s next two batters to end the threat.

Labette added two in-surance runs on four hits in the top of the

seventh to seal the win. A third run was snuffed when Sigg gunned down a Labette runner at the plate.

THE CARDINALS erased any doubt in Sun-day’s contest, scoring five in the first and two in the second, despite accumulating only three hits in the process (two of which were home runs).

Arnold’s ground ball drove in a run in the bot-tom of the first before ACC struck for three in the bottom of the third.

Tim Lewis drove in Troy Willoughby with a single. Arnold reached on a walk. Slusser fol-lowed with a two-run triple.

The game was called minutes before a severe thunderstorm pelted the Iola area with torrential rain and hail.
