STORMS PACK A WALLOP Humboldt takes brunt of Nature’s wrath

By BOB JOHNSON and RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

A spring-like storm that hit without warning wreaked havoc in Humboldt Thursday night and drenched Iola with more than 4 inches of rain.

Humboldt’s business district sustained heavy damage from gale-force winds and heavy rains. Hundreds of limbs and some trees were felled.

While no official classification has been made that the storm contained a tornado, radar images did show a hook in the clouds — precursor of a tornado — and the swirling clouds appeared to have a circular pattern. In the northwest part of town the wind roared from the west and northwest; in the east part from the south.

Heaviest damage was to the home of Elvin and Earline Nelson and two down-

Culver’s volunteerism lauded

Mentzers a team

By SUSAN LYNN The Iola Register

If the sun is shining today, it will have a direct bearing on Craig and Denise Mentzer, farm marshals for this year’s Farm-City Days.

With the corn safely stored away, their last worry of the season is soybeans.

Wednesday morning, moisture content was 16 percent. Optimum is 13-15. After Thursday’s prolonged rains the danger is that the pods may open.

They now need a long spate of sunny weather not only to dry out the beans but also the

fields.

“With these big combines, they’ll chew up the fields if they’re the slightest bit wet,” Craig said.

If Mother Nature comes through, “I think this will be the best bean crop we’ve ever had. The prices look decent. I’m hoping for 50 bushels an acre.”

Craig quickly douses that optimism with skepticism, just for good luck. “Of course they could go from 50 bushels to 10 overnight if the weather turns bad. Two years ago they went from 35 bushels to 13 when a hailstorm came See MENTZERS | Page A2

Quote of the day Vol. 118, No. 238

There was a time Donna Culver probably should have been considered as a farm marshal for the FarmCity Days celebration.

Alas, Culver’s roots on a farm in rural Woodson County still remain, but she’s been a “city slicker” in Iola for decades.

As such, Culver was designated as the city marshal for this year’s festival.

The designation honors Culver’s countless hours as a volunteer through a number of organizations, work that dwarfs most folks half her age.

Culver, 83, is best known as the face of the Neosho Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross.

She’s usually among the first on the scene of disasters, such as house fires or severe storms, to sort out the victims’ needs, and helps connect them with avenues for help.

Culver also is an American Legion Auxiliary member for more than two decades, including her current term as chapter president; one of the charter members of Allen County Crime Stoppers; volunteers at the Bowlus Fine Arts Center; delivers meals to homebound

Culver notes her pace has slowed in recent years.

“I’m tickled to let other people do things to make sure everything gets done,” she said.

Storm: Winds, rain wreak havoc on Humboldt homes, trees Continued from A1

THE ROOF of Stacy Cakes, in the 110-yearold two-story Fussman building, gave way and water cascaded into the upstairs living quarters of Mark and Stacy Mueller, then found its way into the business arena on the first floor.

When the water began to pour into their apartment, the Muellers dashed downstairs and sequestered themselves in a bathroom. “We thought that would be the safest place,” Mark Mueller said.

But there they were doused again so they ran across Bridge Street and into the basement of City Hall, where about 50 other residents were taking refuge.

The Muellers stayed the night. “We slept on the cold floor,” Mueller said. “There’s a big hole in our roof,” which put the already soaked apartment and business at risk as the rain continued well into the night.

The brick facade of the building, built in 1906, indicated no damage but just to the west the roof of a one-story building collapsed. The building was once home to the Cozy Theater.

“A woman from outof-town bought it years ago and talked about putting in a craft store,” said City Administrator Cole Herder. Nothing occurred, and in more recent years it has become storage for a jumble of nondescript items.

Windows in several downtown businesses were broken or blown out, including a large plate-glass window in

the north-facing Restoration Fellowship Church, a block west of Stacy Cakes.

Many residents were clearing their properties of fallen limbs early Friday morning. They will have the weekend to pile them next to curbs.

Herder said Chanute sent crews to help on Friday.

“What we’d like is for residents to put limbs next to streets, but away from gas meters,” he said. “We don’t want to pull a meter from the ground” when a loader picks up limbs, he said.

Pickup will continue next week.

Falling limbs hitting high lines and wind itself cut power to all of Humboldt north of New York Street, an east-west route a block south of the downtown square.

Westar crews responded and by 3 a.m. power was restored to all homes,

except those where service lines were the problem. Local workers were joined by those from out of town, including tree-trimmers, Friday to complete restoration of the system, in Humboldt and nearby rural areas.

Some gas service was interrupted by storm damage, “but it has been contained,” Mayor Hobby Davis said Friday morning.

Meanwhile, Linda Honas’s farmstead west of Humboldt took a hit, with several trees uprooted, some outbuildings damaged and a row of at least 10 power poles toppled.

Roads to her home were closed Friday until the poles could be replaced.

“The crowd was pretty small by then, and the power kept flickering, so we just ended it,” Franklin said.

Franklin hopes to reschedule the showing at a later date.

The rest of this weekend’s Farm-City Days activities are on schedule, Franklin said. “Everything’s a go.”

Sharon Sigg, who lives on South Kentucky Street, sought refuge in her daughter’s house shortly after the tornado warning was issued.

She returned home to find a large tree toppled and leaning against her home, causing some roof damage.

Crews were on the scene Friday to remove the tree. Sigg said she already had been in touch with her insurance adjuster.

A gymnasium filled with diners for a free family dinner as part of Farm-City Days in Riverside Park’s Recreation Community Building were evacuated into the building’s basement.

Most remained on hand until the storm cleared, at which time the chicken-and-noodle meals were served to a shaken, but safe, crowd.

“Everybody stayed pretty calm, except for me internally,” FarmCity Days Committee member Aaron Franklin said afterward.

Organizers decided against showing the children’s movie “Angry Birds” following the meal.

A huge tree fell onto the Nelson’s garage, with some of the tree’s limbs striking the home’s roof.

Earline said they were home when the storm hit.

“We heard a couple of huge booms, so Elvin went to the kitchen to see what it was,” Earline said.

He had suspected it was the tree falling on their garage.

He was right.

“He was just turning around when another huge boom happened,” Earline said, as a portion of the tree broke into the home’s roof.”

The couple tried in vain to capture the water as it flowed into their house, but only briefly.

“We agreed it would probably be best that we just get out of there because we didn’t know what was coming next,” Earline said.

The Nelsons stayed at a relative’s house in Iola.

The garage, she said, was filled with assorted tools and other items, but as of Friday, they were unable to check because the tree was still perched precariously on top.

“There’s quite a bit of water damage in the house,” Earline added.

Young family threatened by State Street flooding

T:7â&#x20AC;?

A diaper run to Walmart Thursday evening turned into an unsettling adventure for Austin Perry and his family.

Coming from Moran, Perry said â&#x20AC;&#x153;We tried several streets. They were flooded so I decided to try State Street,â&#x20AC;? thinking it being a main thoroughfare their chances would be better. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We

tried several streets. They were flooded and I decided

to try State Street,â&#x20AC;? thinking it being a main thoroughfare their chances would be better. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A police car was off to the side, but I thought if I drove in the middle itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be OK,â&#x20AC;? he said. Instead, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I drove into a lake.â&#x20AC;?

The deep water killed the carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s engine and quickly began to fill its interior.

The episode occurred in front of the 911 dispatch center. The mother, Becca Maxey, carried their 8-month-old, Karmyn, into the center, to report their dilemma.

Sheriff Bryan Murphy and Iola Chief of Police Jared Warner, there to monitor the storm, were at hand.

Murphy found Perry carrying their other two children, Morgen, 4, and Gabriella, 2, from the car. Even so, he waded into knee-deep water to check. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I saw some movement, it turned out to be

the family dog,â&#x20AC;? Daisy, Murphy said. A passerby in a dual-wheel pickup and carrying a tow rope pulled the Perry car to higher ground, with Daisy in tow.

Friday, Perry said he was unsure how badly the car was damaged, although, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Water got into the engine.â&#x20AC;?

While Murphy was outdoors, Warner was helping to comfort the family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was amazing how reassuring and helpful the dispatch staff was,â&#x20AC;?

Warner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They dried the kids and got them into some warm clothing,â&#x20AC;? sweatshirts and old uniforms that were on hand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids were really scared and the staff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comforting help a lot with that.â&#x20AC;?

At least one other vehicle flooded out on State Street, where high water is a perennial problem in heavy rains.

It required no rescue efforts.

added dose of unpredictability, the format allows the candidates to move around the stage, putting them in unusually close proximity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot more interaction, physical interaction,â&#x20AC;? says Judd Gregg, the former New Hampshire senator who helped President George W. Bush prepare for debates. He said a candidate who is too aggressive in a town hall, either with the voters or a rival, â&#x20AC;&#x153;can come across looking really chippy, not looking presidential.â&#x20AC;?

After an uneven showing in his first debate, Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s candidacy may rise or fall on his ability to avoid falling into that trap. The Republican repeatedly interrupted Clinton in their opening contest and grew defensive as she challenged his business record and recited his demeaning comments about women.

The GOP nominee has reviewed video of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first presidential debate, and his aides have stressed a need to stay calm and not let Clinton attacks get under his skin in the second of three contests. The campaign has built in more rehearsal time ahead of Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s showdown in St. Louis.

Trump, who prefers drawing big crowds to rallies, has done only sporadic town halls and

to be here,â&#x20AC;? Trump told a small, invitation-only crowd in Sandown. He was joined by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who excelled at the town hall format during his failed presidential run and is helping coach Trump.

While the event had some of the trappings of what Trump will face Sunday, including a twominute countdown clock on answers, it was hardly a rigorous rehearsal.

Trump didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actually interact with the audience, instead only conversing with a friendly moderator who read the questions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which were nearly all softballs.

Presidential town hall debates, meanwhile, are typically serious affairs and lack the liveliness of campaign trail events.

Clinton is far more practiced in the format and prefers smaller events with more direct voter engagement. Aides said she wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shy away from raising recent revelations about Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tax history or reminding voters of his pre-dawn Twitter attacks on a Miss Universe winner, but will aim to keep her focus more on the voters sitting on stage.

Seeking to raise the bar for the businessman, Clinton advisers said they do expect Trump to be more measured than in the last debate.

Iola City Council members will discuss Tuesday whether to renew the city’s Neighborhood Revitalization Plan.

The existing plan grants a property tax rebate to property owners who increase their property’s appraised values by at least $10,000.

HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) — A couple has bought a former central Kansas plantation that was once a large shipping point for fruit between the Missouri River and California.

The 1,260-acre Yaggy Plantation near Nickerson was auctioned this week. The land sold for more than $5 million.

The buyers were Craig and Lucinda Piligian, who have homes in Reno County.

Lucinda Piligian said the land’s history was part of the attraction. She added they plan to continue the land’s current farming operation.

Twenty-five Iola United Methodist Women members met at Calvary United Methodist Church Sept. 22.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Lesson learned comes with big dose of pain Anyone who says he has a high threshold for pain never got his toe caught between chain and sprocket on a bicycle.

In the early 1950s I got a new bike for Christmas, a shiny Western Flyer that Dad bought at the Western Auto Store in Iola. When I awoke Christmas morning, it was sitting by the tree.

I rode the bike a bit then, but ice and snow delayed most adventures until later.

When the weather warmed, it and I seldom were separated. My friends and I would meander around Humboldt — and then ride like the dickens at mealtime to congregate at one another’s houses for impossible-to-beat home-cooking.

One afternoon I wheeled the bike out into the alley and carefully steered across an old concrete span over a big drainage ditch — another of my favorite places to play.

Out on the street, my foot slipped off the pedal and somehow — a mystery to this day — under the chain guard and between chain and sprocket.

I must have screamed

At Week’s End Bob Johnson

bloody murder, because no more than I had hit the pavement, Mom was running toward me. The side of my right big toe was ripped open. Tears poured down my cheeks and Mom was beside herself.

We finally extracted the toe — more pain, if that was possible. Mom talked about a doctor, but decided with the experience she had had with childhood injuries she could handle this one.

Washing the wound was no walk in the park, and a heavy dose of methylate put beads of sweat on my forehand. Mom swore by methylate.

Once bandaged the wound felt a little better.

I never road a bicycle barefoot again. And I still have the scar and a slightly deformed big toe to show why.

A�look�back�in�time � 60 Years Ago Week of Oct. 2, 1956

Fifty members of the Allen County Historical Society had a dinner meeting at the Kelley Hotel last night to elect a board of directors and to discuss society programs and affairs. The new board members are L. T. Cannon, W. C. Caldwell and Lewis Drake of Humboldt; Stanley Harris of Colony and R. L. Thompson Jr. of Moran; and Spencer Gard, Mrs. R. H. Carpenter, Mary Hankins and Angelo Scott of Iola. The bylaws provide that at least two of the directors shall be from each commissioner district in the county. ***** Scott Stores will start its “self-service” operation tomorrow morning, manager Ray Metcalf announced to-

day. It will be a unique venture, the first store in Iola outside the grocery field to adopt a full self-service system. Customers will select their own purchases, then go through a checkout aisle, just as in a grocery store, where the purchases will be tabulated and paid for. ***** The Allen County Welfare department is busy computing small increases in the cash assistance grants to all recipients of old age assistance, aid to the disabled, and aid to dependent children.

Mrs. Pauline Flynn, welfare director, said the revisions were authorized by the 85th Congress and are funded by federal funds. The increase in grants will result in a raise of $2 to $3 per month to individuals qualifying.

Kansas: Deadbeat state won’t pay bills With the approach of upcoming elections I am reminded of a private conversation five years ago with Governor Sam Brownback’s chief of staff who mused: “The real issue is whether conservatives can govern.” At that time I held out hope that the relatively new governor and his legislative allies could govern effectively. I was wrong.

The Brownback coalition dominated by far-right ideologues has left Kansas government in a state of despair.

Their fanatical vision of boosting the economy by eliminating the state income tax, cutting taxes on the wealthy, and exempting businesses from taxation has not worked.

Their delusion has wrecked state finances and caused grim repercussions for most state services.

Brownback and his allies were foolhardy to believe from the start that handing big tax breaks to a few of the highest-income taxpayers would magically trigger an “adrenaline shot” to the $150 billion Kansas economy. That has not happened. The economy has fallen behind in job and income growth. Indeed, recent numbers suggest we may be going backwards.

The radical tax policy has left formerly well-managed state finances in shambles.

This far-right faction claims to be “conservative” but has repeatedly adopted unbalanced budgets, spending more than is taken in. A budget balance of $700 million only a few years ago has been de-

Ed Flentje Insight Kansas

pleted, leaving not a penny in the state’s pocket. Last spring lawmakers had the audacity to adopt a budget $100 million out of balance and then adjourn. Our state now behaves like a deadbeat by not paying bills on time.

Tax policy benefits the wealthy to the detriment of other taxpayers. Business owners pay no income tax while their employees do.

Lawyers pay no income tax but their secretaries do. Two sales tax increases have made the state’s sale tax on food the highest in the nation, a heavy burden on lower-income Kansans. Over this period property taxes have risen by $550 million statewide, not counting the bills taxpayers will see later this year.

A conservative posture in the use of debt has been abandoned, as current obligations are pushed onto future generations. State taxpayers have been saddled with new, long-term liabilities, and the state’s debt load has ballooned to an all-time high of $4.5 billion, a jump of 50 percent in two years. Statutory caps on borrowing were suspended to issue $400 million in highway debt, which was immediately

swept from the highway fund to pay for tax cuts. Financial mismanagement has resulted in repeated downgrades of the state’s credit rating.

As a consequence of this financial mess public schools have been shortchanged, highway maintenance has been deferred, and university budgets have been cut forcing hefty increases in student tuition, fees, and debt. Support for our state’s most vulnerable citizens has suffered from inattention and poor management: • the state is failing to ensure the safety of children in foster care according to auditors • a state hospital decertified last year for failure to protect patient safety continues to cost the state $1 million each month in lost federal funds • private contractors hired by the state have backlogged thousands of applications from eligible clients for health care services over the past year • state cuts in Medicaid have diminished services by health care providers throughout the state and resulted in the loss of tens of millions in federal funds The list goes on and on.

Brownback and his legislative backers have failed at governing. In the upcoming elections our state desperately needs new leaders who can break out of the ideological fog, address state issues with an open mind, and govern with realism and common sense.

Hillary’s response to 15-year-old confusing — and spot on When a 15-year-old girl asked Hillary Clinton how she would heal the damage caused by Donald Trump’s comments about women, Clinton’s answer was a little confusing, sort of contradictory ... and completely accurate.

“I see with my own eyes the damage Donald Trump does when he talks about women and how they look,” the girl, identified as Brennan Leach, daughter of a Pennsylvania state senator, said to Clinton during a town hall in Haverford, Pa., on Tuesday. “As the first female president, how would you undo some of that damage and help girls understand that they are so much more than just what they look like?”

First: I love this girl. At 15, I was plotting ways to meet any and all members of Duran Duran, so I could talk them into attending my prom. Politics, not so much.

Second: Clinton’s answer.

Heidi Stevens The Chicago Tribune

“My opponent insulted Miss Universe,” she said to laughter.

“We can’t take any of this seriously anymore,” she continued. “We need to laugh at it. We need to refute it. We need to ignore it. And we need to stand up to it.”

Wait. Ignore it and stand up to it? Don’t take it seriously and refute it? That sounds like a rather impossible combination.

That’s because it is.

It’s also exactly what girls and women find ourselves trying to do every day, whether we’re deciding how to respond to Twitter trolls or playground taunts or boorish presidential candidates.

Clinton’s answer captured

the dialogue that runs on a continuous loop in so many of our heads: Just ignore it. It’s laughable!

But it’s also not funny.

OK, it’s not stopping. I’m going to say something.

Should I say something?

Are we doing don’t-pokethe-tiger or out-the-troll these days?

Don’t-stoop-to-theirlevel or beat-them-at-theirown-game?

It’s exhausting. There’s no right way to do it, because “it” is an impossible task: Turn off your humanity and your ability to experience and process emotions.

Craft a plan.

Throw out the plan when it doesn’t work.

Know that the plan will never work because you’re fighting centuries of bias and expectations and messages that tell you to be beautiful and be nurturing and be nice and be ladylike. Have thick skin and laugh it off and

What’s the right way to respond to a sexist comment?

A) laugh at it; B) refute it; C) ignore it; D) stand up it; E) all of the above; F) none of the above don’t take everything so seriously. Speak up and don’t let yourself be mistreated and don’t be an enabler.

Smile!

Clinton’s answer was confusing because we’ve put girls and women in a confusing spot. It’s tough to remember that you’re so much more than your looks when magazine covers and beautyproduct marketers and Kylie Jenner indicate otherwise.

It’s even tougher when a presidential candidate goes on a middle-of-the-night tweet storm about a beauty queen gaining weight.

As for undoing that damage, a female president would be a good reminder that girls and women are more than their looks.

And for our part, we can do

all the things Clinton mentioned to combat the notion that our appearance is our worth: Laugh at it, refute it, ignore it, stand up to it.

We get to decide when one (laugh) feels more appropriate than the other (refute), and we can cut ourselves some slack when our first choice doesn’t work.

And, above all, we can shore up other people — girls, boys, women, men — when we see them trying to achieve that impossible balance in the face of taunts.

Brennan Leach was brave enough to stand up in an auditorium and speak truth to a presidential candidate. Let’s find the courage to answer her with some humanity toward one another — and ourselves.

Trail’s scenery draws praise

Engagement Cody Pitts and Kylee Holland The parents of Kylee Rae Holland are pleased to announce the engagement of their daughter to Cody Pitts.

Kylee is the daughter of Rodger and Melinda Holland of Iola. She is the granddaughter of Virginia Latta and the late Robert Latta and Lola Holland, all of Iola.

Cody Pitts is the son of Steven Pitts of Butler, Mo., and Gilly Pitts of Independence, Mo. The bride-to-be is a 2008 graduate of Iola High School and a 2014 graduate of Pittsburg State University, where she majored in art education.

Iola Elks Lake, which formed when the old Lehigh Cement Company quarry was permitted to fill with water.

“It looks like Table Rock (Lake),” Kretzmeier said of one photo.

The trails, which connect to the Southwind Rail Trail that runs from Iola to Humboldt along the old Santa Fe Railroad right of way, were constructed by volunteer labor.

Materials were funded by a $100,000 Healthy Living Grant from the Kansas Health Founda-

Iola Rotarians got a real-time view of the Lehigh Portland Trail on Thursday, via a camera Jay Kretzmeier had mounted on his helmet while bicycling the trail.

Kretzmeier pointed out the trail has two components, one wider, called Backbone, that covers 1.85 miles and one more narrow, for more advanced bicyclists, that runs on for 5.2 miles. Both give picturesque panoramas of

tion, Wichita.

The trails are consistent with area health and wellness needs, Kretzmeier said. They provide for a wide variety of uses, as diverse as walking and biking to bird watching and fossil hunting, as well as fishing, picnicking or just communing with nature.

The trails are accessible from the east, just off 1500 Road, and on the west from Washington Avenue. Both points being south of Elm Creek.

IHS class of 1958 reunites keting and management.

Since graduation, Cody has been employed by Fastenal as a warehouse manager and vending specialist in Fayetteville, Ark.

The couple met in Pittsburg in the spring of 2014 and moved to Bentonville, Ark., in May 2016.

Wedding plans will be announced later.

The Iola High School Class of 1958 held its annual picnic at Lake Concreto as guests of Jim and Carol Immel.

Those in attendance were Tom Bogardus and Paula, Lawrence; Forest Hayes, Rialto, Calif.; Lou Herman and Kay, Golden, Mo.; John Kruger and friend Sue,

Barryton; Jim Murrow, Springfield, Mo.; Naomi Stewart Oliphant, Derby; Ralph Wiley, Dearing; Judy Anderson Laver and Larry, Sharon Potter Hoffmeier and Don, George Catron and Shirley and Judy Overy Heinrich and Jim, all of Iola; and Suzanne Thomasson Munzeshimer, Rosie

Van Wie Stranghoner and Ronnie and Mel and Linda Higginbotham Guenther, all of Carlyle.

Guests were Peggy Bain Crowl, Dee Valentine, Jerry McClure and Jerry Smith.

The class plans to reunite next in 2018 for its 60-year reunion.

Culver: Reflects on long-time history of serving community Continued from A1

goes lengthy Red Cross assignments, when in the past she would travel across the country, once even being dispatched to the Caribbean.

“Now, I pretty much stick close to home,” she said, noting she helped with recovery efforts in the July tornado that ravaged much of Eureka. “That’s about as far as I’ll go now.”

CULVER points to her upbringing for her longevity. She recounts the saying that you can take a child out of the farm, but you can’t take the farm out of child.

“I think it’s the farm gene,” she said. “I’ve always have been interested in seeing how the crops are doing.”

Some of her 10 chil-

dren and grandchildren still farm.

After attending a oneroom schoolhouse near Kalida just east of Yates Center, Culver graduated from Yates Center High in 1950. She moved to Wichita, attended business school and worked for an investment company before marrying J.E. Culver in 1952.

By 1966 she was working in the kitchen at Allen County Hospital and getting her first dose of volunteerism, as a member of the Southeast Kansas Community Action Program board.

When a Head Start program started, she helped out as an aide.

An 11-year stint at Arbuckle Motors followed. She kept books, sold parts and then cars after becoming the first

licensed female salesperson in Iola. At the same time, Culver decided she needed more education.

She became the firstever non-traditional student at Allen Community College, accumulating enough hours over eight years to earn her associates degree.

Culver was hired by the college, as a secretary and then to head the single homemaker program. Her husband died the year before she re-

tired from ACC in 1993.

She appreciates having most of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren living nearby.

Seven of her 10 kids live within 20 miles of Iola, and two others are within 100 miles.

Culver has 19 grandchildren and 31 greatgrandkids.

“Luckily, my old age insurance lives pretty close,” she joked.

Still, Culver counts

her blessings that good health remains.

“I’m so, so lucky to still be mobile,” she said.

Culver also counts several contemporaries as inspiration, including Iolans Wanda Lytle and Donna Houser, both of whom remain active with a number of programs.

“They’re always so busy,” she gushed.

CULVER’S LOVE of Farm-City Days comes naturally.

“I’ve always loved the atmosphere, the crowds, getting to see people I haven’t seen in a while.”

And even though Culver regularly catches the parade — it was particularly easy when the floats would be lined up in front of her house on South Washington Avenue, before the parade route was changed last year — she’s only been a parade participant once, years ago as part of a Crime Stoppers float.

McPherson’s monster night does in Humboldt

High School Football: Iola 20, Osawatomie 14

By BOB JOHNSON The Iola Register

HUMBOLDT — Maybe it was just fortuitous when Mark Svaty took the coaching reins at Fredonia, moving from Parsons, that Isaac McPherson shed his Vikings cape and came along to live with the Svaty family.

McPherson, a senior in his only year at Fredonia, became — beyond a shadow of a doubt — the Jackets’ best player, on offense as well as defense.

He put on a stellar performance Friday, scoring five touchdown and rushing for 417 yards on 18 carries. His scoring run were of 76, 97, 34, 67 and 40 yards Fredonia posted a 48-25 victory. Humboldt stands 2-4 going to district. First up is Erie under Humboldt’s Friday night lights six days hence.

‘PRESEASON OVER’

Mustangs top Trojans, prepare for district next

By JON DYKSTRA The Iola Register

OSAWATOMIE — Friday’s 20-14 victory in Osawatomie represents another key development in the maturation of the Mustangs, according to their leader.

“We have to learn how to win,” Iola coach Doug Kerr said. “We have been relearning how to win since 2013. We’ve had these type of games the last two years and we have come

THE STORY line for Humboldt, in some measure, was Kyler Allen.

Two weeks ago he was the Cubs’ No. 3 quarterback, behind Chad Classen and Hesston Murrow. When Classen didn’t suit up last week Murrow stepped in to lead the Cubs in a 73-6 route of Eureka.

This week, Classen was back on the sidelines, though saw only limited action. MurSee HUMBOLDT | Page B6

They threw a shutout in the second half.”

The Mustangs seem snake-bitten by turnovers and penalties, but when it mattered most the Mustangs stood tall and were able to escape Osawatomie’s Homecoming atmosphere with a much needed win to improve their See MUSTANGS | Page B4

High School Tennis: Regional Tournament at Chanute

Fillies end season at regional tournament

By JON DYKSTRA The Iola Register

CHANUTE — Iola High’s tennis team wrapped up its season Friday at the Class 4A regionals.

Junior Carley Cescon and freshman Allie Utley got the day off to a great start for Iola as they dominated their opening round match in route to a 9-0 victory over Columbus.

The victory advanced the 12th-seeded doubles pairing into the first round of the 16-team bracket, where Chanute’s fifth-seeded pairing was waiting on the Fillies.

Chanute cruised to a 6-0 victory in the first set.

Cescon and Utley showed improvement in the second

set, but were eliminated, 6-2.

“Both did a great job hustling after the ball in the backcourt and trying to place the ball,” Iola head coach Jenn Bycroft said. “We needed to attack the net a little more.

“Both girls are new to tennis this year, Carley being a Junior and Allie a freshman,” Bycroft continued. “Carley has some natural athletic ability and that helps tremendously. Allie has really worked a lot this past summer and fall on her entire game. If they keep that up, we’ll see some more good things next season.”

Iola juniors Macayla Bycroft and Erin Klubek participated in the most exciting See FILLIES | Page B8

The Wildcats were in Pleasanton to take on Jayhawk-Linn, falling 25-13, 1325, 15-7 to Jayhawk-Linn.

Marmaton Valley rebounded to sweep the Prairie View JV, 25-15, 25-23.

Sarah Spillman led the way with 13 points, while Isabella Duke and Bailey Griffith added eight points each. Emily Smart followed with seven and Kari Shadden and Paige Becker with three each.

Griffith racked up a team-high eight kills. Rachel Shaffer followed with seven, Shadden four and Smart two.

Chiefs hope bye week sparks dormant offense

By DAVE SKRETTA The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs stumbled into their bye week with the worst offensive showing of what has been a miserable four-game stretch for coach Andy Reid and Co. Alex Smith threw 50 passes and still managed just 287 yards. Running back Spencer Ware fumbled again. The offensive line gave up four sacks to a Pittsburgh defense that had just one total.

In short, it was about as ugly as things could get.

All of which made the return of Jamaal Charles both encouraging and confounding.

The four-time Pro Bowl running back, out with a torn ACL since Week 5 last season, made his season debut but carried just twice for 7 yards in the 43-14 drubbing at Heinz Field on Sunday night. His return failed to provide much of a jolt to the stagnant offense, though an increase in his workload following the week off still could be the medicine for what ails them.

“You know what? I saw an excited player who was happy to be back,” Chiefs running backs coach Eric Bieniemy said. “Jamaal is a dynamic football player, but I think what’s important is bringing him along slowly, getting him involved in the right way, and that way he’s comfortable with what he’s doing.”

The Chiefs already have treated his return with kid gloves. He was back on the practice field

by the end of the offseason program, and took part in most of the workouts in training camp.

But through the first four weeks, Charles has been reduced to running with the scout team.

Asked whether that could change when the Chiefs visit Oakland following their bye, Reid stuck by his standard line: “We’ll play it by ear, see how it rolls as we go and see how he feels.”

Good luck gleaning much useful information from that.

Reid has earned much of his coaching reputation for being an offensive mastermind, so it may be even more damning that the Chiefs have struggled so mightily to move the ball.

They are averaging just 338 yards per game, including a dismal 90.3 on the ground, and have put up fewer than 20 points per game — a number embellished by defensive and special teams scores.

All of those statistics place the Chiefs at or

near the bottom third of the league.

“I don’t think I’ve done a good enough job there when getting them mentally right to function in a football game,” Reid acknowledged. “That’s why when I tell you it’s my responsibility there, it’s my responsibility.

These are good football players and I’ve got to make sure I’m putting them in the right positions on both sides of the ball and special teams.”

To be sure, more was expected of the offense

Jayhawk lineman forced to hang it up

By AMIE JUST The Associated Press

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Kansas offensive lineman Jordan ShelleySmith has decided to retire from football due to repeated concussions, the second player in the Big 12 to make that decision this week.

Shelley-Smith, a senior, missed three games last season after sustaining a concussion against Oklahoma State. He has played minimal snaps after another concussion before the season.

“We do take concussions very seriously around here,” Kansas coach David Beaty said

Tuesday. “It was a very emotional day for him last week when he announced that to our team.”

Head trauma has been a major topic in the NFL and increasingly at the college level. Oklahoma sophomore linebacker Tay Evans decided to retire for similar reasons after he was injured against Ohio State earlier this season. And just last year, Kansas linebacker Jake Love made the same decision after dealing with several concussions.

“These kids’ health, not only for today but down the road, is so important,” Beaty said.

“That’s somebody’s family treasure. It’s their one life. It’s their one life. It’s all they get.”

Beaty said there has

been significant progress in how much attention is given to head injuries from the days when he was playing wide receiver for Lindenwood University in the early 1990s.

“We called them cobwebs back then,” he said. “We’ve seen all of the examples of men that are walking around right now that suffered from these types of injuries and we didn’t have the technology, we didn’t have the studies available to tell us how dangerous it really was.”

Shelley-Smith began his career as a tight end, playing in eight games

as a freshman. But he became a key offensive lineman after making the transition his sophomore season, playing 12 games and starting against Iowa State. He also started the nine games he played last season.

Beaty said the Waco, Texas, native will continue to have a role with the team.

“Football’s a big industry and there’s a lot of things going on that would make you want to have a player out there regardless,” he said.

“The truth of the matter is, not one of them is worth it.”

for two reasons: They have invested heavily in that side of the ball, and the key players have been around for a while.

Start with the investments. The Chiefs drafted left tackle Eric Fisher first overall, spent big money for Mitch Schwartz to solidify right tackle, and paid princely for wide receiver Jeremy Maclin — a

move that proved even more costly when they were docked a thirdround pick for tampering.

Throw in more draft picks spent on the line, modest contracts for Ware, Charles and fellow running back Charcandrick West, and the Chiefs have enough pieces that they should be brilliant.

Except they’re not.

Not yet.

“It’s early in the year.

We’ve been here before,” wide receivers coach David Culley said. “We know what we have to do to get things corrected ... and we’ll get those things corrected.”

The fact that there’s so much to correct is discouraging considering that Smith is in his fourth year in the offense, and other key players have been around just as long. Sure, there are newcomers on the offensive line, but this is hardly a group that has just been thrown together.

“I’m going to be honest with them. I want them to be honest with what they see,” Reid said early this week, “and then we’ll work on the corrections as a group.

“I didn’t do a good enough job and I’ll be the first one to stand here and tell you that. I think the players feel the same way. Collectively, we’re a team, and collectively we have to do a better job. If we’re all pulling in the same direction, we’ll be a pretty good football team.”

Mustangs: Vink adds dimension to offensive attack other big hit from Cooper which forced an incompletion, before Osawatomie got into Iola territory with a 20-yard passing play.

Iola senior Joey Zimmerman ended the Trojan final threat with an interception on a Thompson pass over the middle and the senior fell to a knee after a short return to seal the game, much to the relief of his coaches.

“We’ve got to learn to take care of the ball,” Kerr said. “So if Joey would have fumbled I might have just walked away right there.”

Iola’s first touchdown of the game came on the team’s opening possession when Cooper found fellow senior Chase Regehr for a 13-yard score.

Cooper finished 5-for-9 with 106 yards passing.

“We preached all year that we want have a hunt for October,” Kerr said.

“We want to go undefeated in October and this is a good start.”

Continued from B1

record to 2-4 with next Friday’s first district game with Burlington looming.

“This means a lot, because we should have beaten them by a lot more,” senior quarterback Ben Cooper said.

“But preseason is over now, and we are ready to start the real season.”

A pair of unlikely heroes stepped up on Friday; or at least unlikely on the side of the ball that they performed best against Osawatomie.

Junior Isaac Vink — known for his talents as Iola’s top cornerback — made a big impact early in the game as a receiver.

“They really overplayed Joey (Zimmerman) and Ethan (Holloway) tonight and they weren’t going to let them beat them,” Kerr said.

“We said in game planning that somebody else has to step up and Isaac did.”

With Iola trailing 8-7, senior quarterback Ben Cooper found Vink - who had only one reception before this week - for 19 yards to get the Mustangs down to the Trojan 11.

“That got my confidence up,” Vink said. “I think it got Ben’s confidence up and the whole team’s confidence up to know that we can run and pass against (Osawatomie).”

Iola sophomore running back Tayton Driskel paid that drive off with a 4-yard touchdown drive and Iola took a 14-8 lead early in the second quarter.

Driskel finished the game with 150 yards on 23 carries.

After Osawatomie tied the game at 14 on a long passing play, Vink made the biggest catch of the season for Iola.

On a fourth-and-6 from the Trojan 40, Cooper and Vink connected on a 39yard completion to put Iola on the doorstep of the end zone.

The best part of the play, according to Kerr, was the football intelligence that Vink showed to even be in position to make the play.

“He broke off his route and came back for the ball,” Kerr said. “He made an amazing play, because we had two guys in the same spot and Ben overthrew Joey, but Vink made a great play.”

Vink finished the game with 4 catches for 93 yards.

“Ethan Holloway and Joey have been our main threats,” Cooper said. “So with Vink going, that will help us out a lot and open up the field more for the running game.”

Iola sophomore Tayton Driskel runs the ball in Osawatomie during the Mustangs’ 20-14 win on Friday night. REGISTER/JON DYKSTRA Two plays later, Cooper plunged into the end zone to give Iola a 20-14 lead with five minutes left before halftime.

That score held thanks to the defensive surprise contributor: quarterback, or should I say shutdown cornerback, Ben Cooper.

Cooper entered the game in the second half after the two Osawatomie scores in the first half had come off of long passing plays and junior corner Caden Knavel was struggling with an injury.

“It was all hands on deck,” Kerr said. “Caden got hurt early and didn’t let us know he was, and they took advantage of it so we throw Ben in there and said we’ll get what we get.”

Iola, like most squads, tries to avoid using their quarterback on defense to protect him, but in this situation, Kerr and staff knew they needed a strong coverage player across from Vink, even if that player’s knowledge of the defensive playbook was extremely limited.

“I knew almost none

Enjoy the football season...

of the defense,” Cooper said. “I just knew that I had to make sure the other guy didn’t catch the ball. I knew that I had to pick my teammate up.”

Vink and Cooper each were able to lock down a side of the field and that eliminated the Trojan big-play passing attack and frustrated Osawatomie quarterback Will Thompson down the stretch.

With just 1:12 showing on the clock in the fourth quarter and facing a fourth-and-8, Thompson targeted his favorite receiver, Trevor Ballou, with Cooper in coverage. Cooper broke on the route and was able to separate Ballou from the football and get the ball back in his own hands with the offense.

“That is awesome that he can do that,” Vink said. “He is our starting quarterback and he is able to come in and stick people like that. That is amazing.”

The Trojans had two

timeouts remaining and with over a minute left on the clock, which meant that the team needed one first down to end the game without having to play defense again.

Driskel ran the ball twice with the Osawatomie defense trying desperately to strip the ball, but the tailback hung on and set up a third-and-8 with 52 seconds left.

On third down, Driskel broke to the outside and seemed like he would have a first down and end the game, but a Trojan defender was able to pop the ball out of the sophomore back’s hands and Osawatomie recovered on the Iola 46 with 42 seconds to go.

“Tayton picks us up a lot when we make mistakes,” Cooper said. “So we always have to return (the favor) back to the one that helps us so much. He ran hard and when you go hard you can make mistakes.”

Two passing plays fell incomplete, including an-

PLAYERS ONLY The previously 1-4 Mustangs had a playersonly meeting this week to discuss where they were at with their season and what they have to do to do finish the season the way they want.

“One day after practice, we got a letter on our lockers,” Vink explained.

Senior lineman Colton Toney was one player that spoke up during the meeting. “(Toney) read it and it got up really pumped up,” Vink said. “We just wanted to prove people wrong.”

Whatever was said amongst the team certainly didn’t hurt as the win ends a three-game losing streak.

“This gives us a ton of momentum,” Vink said.

“We carried over the momentum from last week’s fourth quarter with Parsons and we are going to keep carrying it. We are going to the playoffs.”

UP NEXT That most important part of the season starts Friday when the Mustangs host Burlington at Riverside Park.

“You use the first six weeks to find out what works and doesn’t work,” Kerr said. “It is not going to get any easier next week with Burlington though.”

The Wildcats enter that contest with a 3-3 record.

The game is Iola’s first district game of the season and as Cooper said: “The preseason is over.”

Wildcats Humboldt: McPherson leads Fredonia to win win a thriller

for the future — he’s just a freshman — when he scored from 41 yards out with 3:04 left to cap the scoring. He appeared to be hemmed in a couple of times, but managed to evade tacklers and then sprinted the last 15 yards.

Continued from A1

MORAN — Marmaton Valley High’s home cooking provided just the right flavor for the Wildcats.

Marmaton Valley, in its first home game in a month, defeated visiting Madison, 34-30, to improve to 4-2 on the season and 1-1 in district play.

“It was a great backand-forth, physical football game,” Wildcat head coach Gavin Cole said.

Trevor Wilson was a workhorse, rushing for 190 yards and three touchdowns on 30 carries. Justice Pugh added 112 yards on 18 carries and two others scores.

Noah Pilcher and Caiden Elliott both carried the ball nine times for 34 yards.

Cole said Madison controlled the contest in the first quarter, but Marmaton Valley responded well starting in the second period.

“Credit to the big guys for settling in and opening holes against a team that was selling out against the run,” Cole said. “We had a lot of guys step up and make plays at big times tonight. I’m proud of our boys for how hard they played.”

The Wildcats don’t get to savor the win for long. They must hit the road again the next two weeks, including a critical game next Friday against unbeaten St. Paul.

row prowled the sidelines in blue jeans and his jersey.

Thus, the starting assignment fell to Allen.

Truth be known, many Cub fans may have feared a lopsided contest, when, on its second series, Fredonia’s Devin Voth darted 44 yards for a 6-0 lead with 8:27 left in the first quarter.

Then came the first of McPherson’s five TDs, a 76-yard sprint at the 4:41 mark. He made it 18-0 with 4:04 left in the half; 19-0 with a boot.

Whatever message Coach Logan Wyrick imparted to the Cubs at the half apparently struck a nerve.

Wyatt Seufert sparked a revival with a 93-yard return of Fredonia’s kick to open the second half.

He was stopped at the Jackets’ 3. But on three running plays it appeared Fredonia was going to kill the rally, as it had done with a little less than 5 minutes to go in the first half.

Then, the Cubs appeared next to certain to score after a Allen-to-Seufert pass play put the ball at

the Fredonia 3. But, horror of horrors, Fredonia covered a Cub fumble, with McPherson racing 97 yards two plays later for a TD. This time things turned to the Cubs’ side. On fourth down Allen shot a quick pass to Conor Haviland on a slant play and Humboldt had its first six points.

A little over four min-

utes later, Jacob Barker had perhaps his finest run of the season, going 45 yards while side-stepping several tacklers for Humboldt’ second TD to pull within 19-13.

Euphoria evaporated.

Within two minutes, McPherson scampered 34 yards and a 25-yard pass play upped the Yellowjackets’ margin to 34-13.

Humboldt made overtures of coming back, when Allen and Seufert hooked up on a 42-yard scoring strike.

McPherson responded with touchdown runs of 67 and 40 yards.

Haviland flashed the talent that gives hope

Public notice (First published in The Iola Register, October 8, 2016)

NATIONAL MARKETPLACE Are You Still Paying Too Much For Your Medications?

SOUTHERN Coffey County continued its brutal schedule at home against Sedan.

The Titans led 24-16 early in the second quarter before visiting Sedan rattled off 58 consecutive points to win, 74-24.

Sedan is the fourth unbeaten team SCC has faced.

“It’s been hard to find the progress in certain areas, but I think we started to see some of it tonight,” Titan head coach Korey Lankton said. “We still don’t finish plays ... but I thought we showed some progress against a pretty athletic team.”

Bryce Isch and Luke Gillis scored on 10- and 4-yard runs to create a 16-16 deadlock in the first quarter.

Nick Spencer connected with Zeke Lyons from 24 yards out with 9:33 left in the half to pull ahead 24-16.

Sedan’s Jake Mills scored seven touchdowns on the night for Sedan.

Spencer hit 15 of 30 passes for 143 yards. Lyons had seven catches for 86 yards. Luke Gillis rushed 15 times for 45 yards.

Gillis led the Titan defense with 12 tackles.

Dawson Leimkuhler added 11. Lyons and Weston Weers had 10 apiece.

Southern Coffey County (1-5) travels to Madison next Friday.

BARKER HAD a commendable game running the ball himself, though his 132 yards on 17 carries.

Allen was 7 for 18 on passing, for 186 yards.

Five turnovers did nothing to help the Cub cause.

Otherwise, Humboldt’s defense, except in containing McPherson, had some highlights. Dagen Goodner, returning from a ankle injury of a week ago, and Lance Daniels were leading tacklers. Noah Johnson blocked a Fredonia extra point try from his nose guard slot.

Tucker Hurst surprised Fredonia defenders when he took off to his first side on fourth down and an apparent punt. He gave no quarter and punished a couple of would-be tacklers before accumulating far more than enough yards for a first down.

Hours of sleep more than number Dear Dr. Roach: I am a male in overall good health. I am in my early 80s. I see an increasing number of health articles emphasizing the importance of getting a good six to eight hours of sleep per night. My question: Is this continuous, nonstop sleep for the six to eight hours, or is it with interruptions?

I find it necessary to urinate several times a night.

If I have to get up after three hours, then I get another three hours of sleep, does this constitute three or six hours of sleep?

What effect does this have on the role of sleep in maintaining healthy brain function?

On another note, if sleep interruptions do restrict the brain-maintenance functions of sleep, what are your thoughts on using disposable catheters during the sleeping hours? Such use would, if nothing else, allow a lot of people to get a better night’s rest. —- Anon.

Answer: Although

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health large trials do show that people who get seven or eight hours of sleep at night, on average, have better health including less depression and fewer heart attacks than those who get less (or much more, curiously enough) — for any given individual, it isn’t always clear what the optimum amount is. Some people do very well on six hours; some people really don’t feel well unless they have eight or nine. Further, sleep needs change over a lifetime, with adolescents generally sleeping more and older adults sleeping less. I have found that people worrying about not sleeping enough, paradoxically, makes it harder for them to sleep!

Saturday, October 8, 2016

As far as interrupted sleep goes, it is not generally a problem, as long as you have no trouble getting right back to sleep.

Some sleep experts have recommended segmented sleep, not a single continuous sleep. Again, I see this as more individual-specific and not appropriate for a blanket recommendation.

Disposable catheters, however, I cannot recommend. Although some people need urinary catheters for a wide variety of medical conditions, they do greatly increase the risk of infection.

My advice is to try to ensure a good night’s sleep by staying away from bright lights (including televisions, computers, tablets and phones) for at least an hour or two before bed; keep your sleeping area cool; avoid caffeine in the late afternoon or evening; and don’t worry if you sleep six or seven hours, as long as you feel well during the day.

In-laws easily offended, be nice Dear Carolyn: I got married last month, and have acquired several inlaws (mother and sisters and brothers’ wives) who are all extremely easy to offend. For example, they act funny about the order in which I greet them when I walk into the room, and one of them was hurt when, in response to her cat’s dying, I sent a pet sympathy card instead of a general sympathy one.

I have found myself in the wrong many times already, without agreeing that I belong there, and now that we are married, they are more willing to bring it to my attention than they were before.

What are best practices here? I frequently have no idea why they’re offended and then don’t

Tell Me About It Carolyn Hax agree with their offense once I find out why, and I think it would be impossible to predict all these offenses, because they’re so specific and so unreasonable. Do I make some kind of blanket statement? Ask my husband to make a list of all their nutty expectations? Or just proceed with abandon, and let the chips fall where they may?

of weddings and holidays gone sideways.

Seriously.

About all of it: Warmth is tough to argue with, and might even throw them off balance; being yourself kindly is your only play here, since their expectations are on their side of a proper boundary, not yours; and if fur-fight over a pet-condolence card is just the beginning, I don’t want to miss the end.

Answer: Proceed with loving abandon, let those chips fall, and, please, share your stories with us when we swap stories

Fillies: Season ends in Chanute Continued from B1

match of the day when they opened against El Dorado.

El Dorado jumped to a quick 5-2 lead, but Klubek and Bycroft, Iola’s two most experienced players, rallied to tie the match, 6-6.

El Dorado quickly regained momentum and rattled off three straight games to win the match 9-6 and end Klubek and Bycroft’s seasons.

“There were very long rallies many times,” Bycroft said. “It was a heartbreaking match for all of us. They knew they could beat them. It Iola freshman Allie Utley returns a ball during Friday’s regional tournament in just didn’t happen today.

I can’t complain. Both Chanute.

Macayla and Erin played tough today, both mentally and physically.”

Iola sophomore Jennifer Tidd faced a tough draw as she had a bye past the opening round but had second-seeded Lyssa Schabel of Independence waiting for her in the next round.

The 15th-seeded Tidd struggled with the strong serve and quickness of Schabel and fell 6-0, 6-0.

Tidd had played in only eight singles matches all season, but agreed to compete in the singles tournament to aid the team, Bycroft said.

“She has improved her strokes a lot this season, putting some more spin

on the ball and really trying to place it to make her opponents move,” Bycroft said. “Unfortunately today, she ended up playing the No. 2 seed.

“Jen had some nice drop shots and went out and gave it everything she had today,” Bycroft continued. “She is just a sophomore, so hopefully she’ll just keep working at it more and more and do great things next year.”

Although the Fillies’ season ends earlier than they would have liked, the future is bright for the program. After only returning three players from last year’s team this year, they will not lose a single senior going into the 2017AutoTextDate season.

QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions... and maybe a few actual answers

Why not bigger surprise regarding Martin Truex Jr.?

3 THINGS WE LEARNED FROM DOVER 1. Statement race Martin Truex Jr. was asked if winning Dover was a statement race for the No. 78 Toyota team. “We’re not messing around, I guess,” he said. “I don’t know — what else can you say? We are here to get it done, and golly I’m telling you, just the best bunch of guys you could ever ask for.”

You did research?

Sure did, and regarding past Cup champs who didn’t exactly bring a championship pedigree to the table beforehand, there’s a short “modern era” list. It starts with Benny Parsons in 1973, who was in his fourth full-time season and had just one career victory before that year. In ’92, Alan Kulwicki was in his sixth full year and had just three career wins. Jeff Gordon (1995, his third year), Matt Kenseth (2003, fourth year) and Kurt Busch (2004, fourth year) weren’t overly seasoned Cup vets, but had enough recent success to make their title runs less surprising.

2. Christmas present Kyle Larson called Austin Dillon’s advancement into Chase Round 2 “an early Christmas present” from Ganassi Racing. Dillon, Larson and Jamie McMurray were all near the cut line. When Larson and McMurray went down with problems, Dillon’s day got much easier.

Um … overlooking something?

3. Points racing Brad Keselowski made a textbook advancement into Chase Round 2 thanks to three straight top-five finishes in Round 1. “Consistency is just as important as winning in this format, and I think sometimes that gets lost,”

Martin Truex Jr. is enjoying the ride, and this time the view included a scene from Dover’s Victory Lane. DOVER SPEEDWAY/NIGEL KINRADE said Keselowski, who drives the No. 2 Team Penske Ford.

2, there was almost a sense of relief in the driver’s voice. He will retire after this season. “I’m pretty excited about our day,” he said. “Really proud of our team. We kept making it better all day.

That is good as we had.”

1. Gibbs angst?

2. Relief for Stewart Yes, it was great that Tony Stewart

3. Buescher watch

Not even his high-level connections could help Kyle Busch keep up with “teammate” Martin Truex Jr. at Dover. GETTY IMAGES/MARK WILSON made the Chase field after missing the first eight races of the season because of injury, but after finishing 13th at Dover and missing the cut for Round

Chris Buescher got into the Chase on a fluke win and exited after finishing six laps down to the lead pack. What will he do in the final seven races?

“Nothing really changes,” he said.

“We’ve got the opportunity to test a little bit more, and we still have the opportunity to take chances for the rest of the season, but I’m really proud of the guys for all the work this year.

It’s unfortunate this is the end of our Chase.”

Oh, yeah, that’s right. There are six races and two more eliminations before we should really start talking about Truex’s potential place in history. But boy, oh, boy, as they say, he’s really haulin’ the mail right now.

3 THINGS TO WATCH Martin Truex Jr. and the No. 78 Furniture Row race team are first cousins to Joe Gibbs Racing and its four entries.

Funny thing. Truex has won three of the past five races and has a little something “extra” compared to the Gibbs cars. “We’ve got really fast cars; just missing the boat a little bit on something the No. 78 team has figured out,” said Gibbs driver Kyle Busch, who finished a distant second at Dover.

Two reasons come to mind. First, though he’s never entered any season as a championship favorite, he’s been a well-known commodity for a decade or so. Also, he had his best-ever Cup season last year, so there was some recent performance pointing to this possibility. Still, if you consider NASCAR history, he’s taken quite a leap in 2016.
