My family and I lived in nearby, even smaller Altoona. The city of Neodesha — pop ulation 2,275 — boasted a gro cery store, library and a red caboose behind that library. This month, I drove back to Neodesha with my 11-yearold, on a mission to look both backward and forward. The looking backward was obvious. My family had moved away from the area when I was 7 years old, and I hadn’t visited Neodesha since. What had changed and what had stayed the same? I looked forward to sharing my history with my son, al though his eye-rolling as we arrived in town suggested he didn’t share that excitement. The looking forward was inspired by Neodesha itself. Three years ago, reports of all-but-guaranteed scholar ships for those graduating from the city high school made national news. Like many other small towns and cities across Kansas, like the rural areas that dominate this state’s geography, Neode sha wants to make sure it isn’t ignored. “I am excited about the untapped potential we have in our community,” Mayor Devin Johnson told me via email. A third-generation res ident, he returned after grad uating from Pittsburg State in 2008. “Over the last three years we have seen incredi ble progress made in many areas. In a time when small communities are struggling to remain viable, Neodesha is thriving.”During my first year at Kansas Reflector, I’ve written about Salina, Lawrence and Topeka. But beginning this month and through the fall, I want to expand our geograph ic range with travels through out the state (and Alabama). How do small towns and cities navigate an increas ingly urbanized, connected world? What are the obstacles andInopportunities?southeastKansas, at this oil exploration landmark, I searched for answers. Educational promise, virtuous cycles Driving into Neodesha that Friday afternoon, we found a neat and tidy downtown. A handful of cars passed as we visited a flea market and drugstore and looked for lunch. The sky stretched end lessly blue overhead, while muggy summer heat pressed down as we strolled to and fro on Main Street.

REGISTER/VICKIE MOSS OLATHE, Kan. (AP) — A decisive statewide vote in favor of abortion rights in traditionally conservative Kansas was confirmed with a partial hand recount, with fewer than 100 votes chang ing after the last county re ported results Sunday. Nine of the state’s 105 counties recounted their votes at the request of Melissa Leavitt, who has pushed for tighter elec tion laws. A longtime an ti-abortion activist, Mark Gietzen, is covering most of the costs. Gietzen acknowl edged in an interview that it was unlikely to change theAoutcome.novote in the referen dum signaled a desire to keep existing abortion pro tections and a yes vote was for allowing the Legislature to tighten restrictions or ban abortion. After the recounts, “no” votes lost 87 votes and “yes” gained 6 votes. Eight of the counties reported their results by the state’s Saturday dead line, but Sedgwick County delayed releasing its final count until Sunday because spokeswoman Nicole Gibbs said some of the ballots weren’t separated into the correct precincts during the initial recount and had to be resorted Saturday. She said the number of votes cast overall didn’t change. A larger than expected turnout of voters on Aug. 2 rejected a ballot measure that would have removed protections for abortion rights from the Kansas

Pfizer asked U.S. regula tors Monday to authorize its combination COVID-19 vaccine that adds protection against the newest omicron relatives — a key step to ward opening a fall booster campaign.TheFood and Drug Ad ministration ordered vac cine makers to tweak their shots to target BA.4 and BA.5 that are better than ever at dodging immunity from earlier vaccination or infection.IftheFDA quickly clears the combo shots made by Pfizer and its partner Bi oNTech, boosters could be offered within weeks. The U.S. has a contract to buy 105 million of the updated Pfizer doses as soon as health au thorities greenlight them, and the company said doses are ready to ship. Moderna is expected to file a similar application soon, and the U.S. has a con tract to buy 66 million doses of its updated vaccine. “It’s going to be really important that people this fall and winter get the new shots. It’s designed for the vi rus that’s out there,” White House COVID-19 coordina tor Dr. Ashish Jha said last week.For now at least.

Cindy was born on April 18, 1953, in Kansas City, Mo., to her loving parents Leonard and Joyce Wyatt. She had a wonderful childhood alongside her older sister, Susie, and younger sister, Carol. Still to this day, they couldn’t be around each other longer than five minutes without crying from laughter and so much love.Cindy attended Shawnee Mission North high school where she enjoyed being a part of the cheerleading team. After graduating in 1971 Cindy attended Kansas State University (GO CATS) where she was a member of the Delta Delta Delta sorority and met four of her lifelong best friends. The “full moon friends” as they called themselves would plan a trip to gether every couple years to reminisce, laugh and catch up on life. In 1972 Cindy met Steve Strickler on a blind date at KSU and the rest is history. After grad uating in 1975 with a degree in Early Child hood Education, Steve and Cindy got married and moved to Wisconsin where she became a kindergarten teacher. They eventually moved back home to Iola in 1978 and settled on the family farm where they began raising their family.Cindy was known for many things — her selfless spirit, her comforting demeanor, and her generosity, just to name a few. But her greatest achievement was her love and ad oration for her children and grandchildren — which also earned her her favorite titles of Mom and Nana. She never missed a game, recital or track meet or any reason to cheer on her loves. And you never questioned how proud of you she was or how much she loved you, because she had a way of showing you ev ery single day. Cindy also enjoyed being a longtime mem ber of PEO in Iola and served on many differ ent committees over the years. She also met three of her very best friends in Iola who have selflessly helped her over the past two years, providing transportation to and from doctors appointments, countless meals and most of all unending love and moral support as she brave ly battled melanoma. Cindy is survived by her loving mother, Joyce Wyatt, her two sisters, Susie Sassen berg and Carol Ashley; Steve Strickler; chil dren, Jason Strickler (Eryn), Cody Strickler (Tegan), and Kayleigh Vaughn (Rob); and her four beautiful grandchildren, Thomas, Rem ington, Avery and Wyatt, with a fifth grand child on the way. Cindy will forever be remembered as the absolute best mom, Nana, daughter, sister, and friend this world has ever known. We take comfort in knowing that she is in the loving arms of her Father and is dancing for joy in the presence of her loved ones who have gone before. The amazing legacy she has left will live on through her family and loved ones. Cindy’s family will host an outdoor celebra tion of her life at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Doug Strickler Farms, 1380 1300 St., Iola. They will greet friends prior to the service beginning at 6 o’clock. Memorial contributions may be made to ACARF or the Alzheimer’s Association and left in care of the funeral home. Condolences to the family may be left at www.feuerbornfu neral.com.

Roughly 70% of grad uating seniors have re ceived them. Of those heading off to college, she said, at least half are first-gen eration university students, if not more. While most of those who have received the first scholarships are still in school, a handful have graduat ed with technical de grees and one student already completed a bachelor’s.Ascollege academic coach, Peitz does more than monitor the flow of money (for the re cord: $255,000 out thus far and $170,000 set to be paid this fall).

Owners know to avoid physical threats, illness, and risky situations; however, many owners can overlook a looming threat that is all around them: toxins. While many graphics and public service announcements circulate social media talking about common toxins like grapes, onions, and xylitol, most people do not know how many common household foods and products can be deadly or dangerous to their pets. Candles, oils, shampoos, and snacks may be toxic to animals, even when they are marketed as “pet safe” or “for pets.”
The most common way that pets come into contact with toxins is by ingesting them. Onions, garlic, chocolate, xylitol, grapes, avocados, alcohol, fruit pits, seeds, nuts, coffee, green potatoes, and many more foods are toxic to dogs. Citrus, alcohol, caffeine, grapes, chives, and more are toxic to cats. The best way owners can prevent accidental poisoning is to always research before feeding their pet any new foods. It is also important if buying homemade or natural treats to check the ingredient list. Aside from actual food items, pets will often ingest toxic plants or chemicals. Lilies, yew, tulips, and other plants are toxic to cats. Dogs may ingest toxic plants or the highly toxic and quickly deadly blue-green algae, which can bloom in natural water sources. Antifreeze, cleaners, and other chemicals may be toxic to pets. Pet owners should always be careful to store chemicals in a way that pets can’t access them and be sure that any rooms where these chemicals have been used have completely aired out and dried, as well as ensuring that there is no residue which may be picked up on their pet’s paws.Many toxins are inhaled by pets when owners burn candles, use wax melts, or use oil diffusers in their houses. Eucalyptus, citrus, tea tree oil, cinnamon, peppermint, pine, and other oils or scents are toxic to pets. It is important for owners to consider their animals when using these kinds of products. These oils are also toxic when they touch a pet’s skin. Using shampoo or even the oils themselves as home remedies can have deadly consequences. Owners must research these kinds of home remedies before attempting them, as many of these toxicities can occur quickly and be difficult or even impossible to treat. When a pet has encountered something and an owner is unsure if it is toxic or whether to be concerned, they should call the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 or Pet Poison Helpline at (800) 213-6680. Be sure to have your credit card ready when you call. These are not free services. If treatment is needed, the owner should call their vet or the closest emergency veterinary hospital and follow doctors’ instructions. Dog owners should also keep hydrogen peroxide that has not expired in their house if a veterinarian advises administration before bringing the pet to the clinic. Owners should never attempt to treat toxicity at home or induce vomiting without the direction of a licensed veterinarian.ByNicole Wright, Veterinary Technician Protect your pets at home

It also passed a 10-year, 1 cent sales tax to support sidewalks, infrastruc ture and growth. No one enjoys paying taxes.

Burning is recom mended in non-ag situ ations, native pastures, and in pure stands of sericea. If properly done, patches of pure stands of sericea can be burned in fescue pas tures, but the risk of the fire spreading is always there.Burning also will cause scarification on the existing sericea seeds in the soil and cause them to germi nate, often appearing to make the situation worse.While you are not able to prevent the new germination of seri cea plants, you can use this opportunity to kill the new, weak plants.

This means land owners are required by law to control the weed. In the Southwind Dis trict, landowners and producers continue to fight this weed on range land, pasture, and small acreages. There are mul tiple herbicides and cul tural practices that can help control sericea, but proper timing is very important. Our district has experienced below average rainfall most of the summer, and pro ducers that usually tar get sericea in June with Tricoplyr likely weren’t able to make their appli cations, or their applica tions may not have been effective.Themonth of Au gust, and into early September offer a great chance at controlling sericea while it is ac tively blooming. Tar geting the plant while it blooms not only kills the top growth of the weed, but it also prevents the plants from producing a viable seed. As many landowners have figured out, sericea is a prolific seed produc er. A single stem can pro duce upwards of 1,500 seeds, equating to over 300 pounds of seed per acre in pure stands of sericea. With this many seeds being added to the soil’s seedbank, killing off existing plants will only provide space for new seeds to germinate, so keeping this plant from producing seed is vital in achieving good control and eradicating the weed ronXP,are:monlybroadcastRecommendedsericearecommendedingHerbicidesspecies.containmetsulfuronarewhileisblooming.ratesforsprayingcomfoundherbicides0.5oz/acreEscort0.625oz/acreCimarPlus,and2.5to3oz/ acre Chaparral.

AS I PUT the books back on the shelf (until the next time I need them), I hold back A Room Called Remember and notice words that I’ve read before but, unlike the others, I don’t remember: “At the age of one hun dred, the old man knows what at my age I am only just beginning to see — that if it is by grace we are saved, it is by grace too that we are lost, or lost at least in the sense of losing our selves, our lives, ourAll’sall.”lost.

The FDA is helping millions of Americans hear better. Finally Hearing aids are too ex pensive, too clunky and too hard to get, which means many Americans go without devices that would substan tially improve their quality of life. That is why the Food and Drug Administration’s Tuesday announcement that it is finally shaking up the hearing aid market is such a bigThedeal.FDA finalized a rule that would allow people with mild to moderate hearing loss to buy hearing aids over the counter — no prescrip tion, no haggling with in surance, which usually does not cover the devices, and no audiologist visit. This move will also allow people to by pass complex and unneces sary state-level restrictions, which often limit who can sell hearing aids and when, inhibiting patients from shopping around for the best products and discouraging manufacturers from compet ing on cost and quality. People previously de terred by all the require ments and hearing aids’ high cost — they currently average about $5,000 a pair — will be able to walk down a drugstore aisle and select whatever device they prefer. There, they might find a va riety of options from com panies previously deterred from entering the hearing aid market, who will flock to provide lower-cost and bet ter-functioning devices.

Those words would come to mind when I held my newborn son. They came to mind when I buried my fa ther. They sometimes come to mind when nothing signif icant seems to be happening at all. And they also emerge in my thoughts alongside words from Now and Then, a book a few spaces down the shelf, reminding me there’s nothing too commonplace for God. He’s present in all of “Listenit. to your life,” writes Buechner. “See it for the fathomless mystery that it is. In the boredom and pain of it no less than in the excitement and gladness: touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it because in the last anal ysis, all moments are key moments, and life itself is grace.”Afew notches down the shelf is Whistling in the Dark, in which Buechner wrote that unexpected tears are a sign that “God is speak ing to you through them of the mystery of where you have come from and is sum moning you to where, if your soul is to be saved, you should go to next.”

After I heard the news of the death of Frederick Buechner, I walked over to a bookcase in my study that I visit more than any other. These shelves are filled with what seems too small to say are my “favorite” au thors. These are the ones who kept me Christian, who upended the way I think or feel about everything. The Buechner section of that bookcase seems like a disor ganized chaos. There’s no co herent genre. Here’s a novel, there’s a Bible study, here’s a dictionary, there’s not just one but several autobiogra phies.And there’s no coherent chronology, either. They are stacked not in the order they were written but in the or der that I found them. That’s because, when I look at each one, I am retelling myself a story — of when I discovered each one of them, and what it was like to read each for the first time. When I stand in front of those shelves, I’m doing what Buechner asked us all to do. I am listening to his life, and to my discardthroughwhileasIessayscollectionRemember,RoomoldshelfbookTheown.firstontheisancopyofACalledaofthatdiscoveredateenagerriflingthetableof a public li brary. When I started read ing, what caught my atten tion was a serious Christian who seemed to see what I could feel but couldn’t really articulate: that life is a mys tery, a mystery that’s a plo tline, a plotline that connects us with the story of Jesus. These stories, he wrote, “meet as well as diverge, our stories and his, and even when they diverge, it is his they diverge from, so that by his absence as well as by his presence in our lives, we know who he is and who we are and who we are not.” A few inches down on that same shelf, I can find his writings on faith and fiction, The Clown and the Belfry, and remember how I never read another parable of Jesus the same way again after I encountered that book. For years, I had heard those stories just like Pau line Epistles. The preacher would break them down for us — point by subpoint by sub-sub-point, telling us the interpretation and applica tion of each part. But Buechner had more to say. “If we think the purpose of Jesus’ stories is essential ly to make a point as extract able as the moral at the end of a fable,” he wrote, “then the inevitable conclusion is that once you get the point, you can throw the story it self away like the rind of an orange, when you have squeezed out the juice.” That’s not how stories work, Buechner taught us. They’re meant to involve us — not just with our minds but with our affections and emotions and intuitions too. And all that points us to Je sus himself, who is the Truth — “the whole story of him.” “So in the long run, the stories all overlap and min gle like searchlights in the dark. The stories Jesus tells are part of the story Jesus is, and the other way round.” Thanks to another volume on that shelf — a collection of sermons called The Hun gering Dark — I never say “Christ” without the word “Jesus.” That’s because Buechner knew the phrase “Christ saves” wouldn’t make us nearly as uncom fortable as would the words “JesusThosesaves.”words “have a kind of objective theological ring to them,” he wrote, “where as ‘Jesus saves’ seems cring ingly, painful ly personal — tonamewhateverbodysavingofnamedsomebodyJesus,allnames,somenamedyourhappensbe.”

Journalism that makes a difference How Buechner built up my faith

Lauding the decision, President Biden claimed these market forces would drive down costs by nearly $3,000 per pair. Innovation might happen quickly, as it does in the consumer tech market for products such as smartphones and audio headsets. Advanced phone integration, smaller sizes, better software permitting smarter noise canceling and clearer hearing in crowds are just some of the possibil ities.People with severe hear ing loss will still have to seek medical evaluation, because only basic hearing aids will be sold over the counter. And consumers will have to be careful that they get all the care they need; if a basic hearing aid isn’t cutting it, or symptoms suggest a se rious health problem, pro fessional treatment is nec essary. But some 38 million Americans say they have at least some hearing loss, and most do not have hearing aids. A vast number of peo ple suffering from low-level hearing degradation could suddenly have reasonable options.
First in the pulpit, then in that book, Buechner preached that what we ac cept or reject is not an ab straction but a person. A few spaces down on the shelf is The Alphabet of Grace, which even now star tles me into paying attention to the miracle of the ordi nary:“You get married, a child is born or not born, in the middle of the night there is a knocking at the door, on the way home through the park you see a man feed ing pigeons, all the tests come in negative and the doctor gives you back your life again: in cident follows incident hel ter-skelter leading apparent ly nowhere, but then once in a while there is … the sugges tion of plot the suggestion that, however clumsily, your life is trying to tell you some thing, take you somewhere.”
Even before I pulled that book off the shelf after hearing news of his death, I thought of those words as I wiped away unexpect ed tears. How strange, I thought, to feel grief over the death of a man I never met, a man nearly a hundred years old. But then I wondered whether the tears were about something else. I pulled off the shelf Godric, his novel about a 12th-century English monk, and found one of Buech ner’s most famous passag es: “What’s lost is nothing to what’s found, and all the death that ever was, set next to life, would scarcely fill a cup.”Inthe Buechner neighbor hood of the bookshelf, there is some open space. I guess subconsciously I hoped that there would be, somehow, one more book to come. Those shelves don’t seem like a body of work. They don’t even seem like part of a library. They seem like a story he was telling me — a story I didn’t want to end.
Frederick Buechner, a prolific author and theologian, died at age 96 on Monday, Aug. 15. When I stand in front of those shelves, I’m doing what Buechner asked us all to do. I am listening to his life, and to my own. Those shelves don’t seem like a body of work. They don’t even seem like part of a li brary. They seem like a story he was telling me — a story I didn’t want to end.
70 Years Ago August 1952 Dead fish in Deer Creek helped Paul Bush, Iola city superintendent, discover why water treated by the Iola water plant varied so great ly in mineral content, and “hardness.” He traced the cause to salt water being dis charged from oil leases into the creek which flows into the Neosho River. State offi cials notified the oilmen they were violating the law and the problem was*****solved.
SO, WHY didn’t the FDA do this years ago? Advisers to President Barack Obama recommended this policy shift back in 2015. Congress in 2017 ordered the FDA to propose a rule within three years. The agency missed that deadline. The timetable was not unreasonable; the FDA’s slow pace was. The agency points out that the covid-19 pandemic hit in 2020, just as its deadline ap proached. But, while it’s true the agency had to scramble to evaluate covid-19 tests and address other pressing pandemic needs, it had plen ty of time to act before the pandemic.Mr.Biden had to issue his own order last year push ing the agency to finish up. That appeared to work: The FDA proposed a rule last Oc tober. Then the agency was obliged to sort through more than 1,000 comments on its proposal. So, only now, two years after Congress’s dead line for the FDA to propose the new policy, is the rule finally complete. This case study in bureaucratic delay, while millions of Americans waited for cheaper, better and easier-to-obtain hear ing aids, should spur some soul-searching at the FDA and questions from Con gress.Meantime, tech compa nies should race to furnish a suddenly wide-open market with more, smarter hearing aids that cost less.

BRYAN was so suc cessful in meeting his August goal that he de cided to do more. A friend from Missou ri announced he would be participating in the 50 Mile March, a route that started Saturday at the Nebraska state capi tol in Lincoln and ended Sunday at the Nebraska Brewing Company in La Vista. The goal is to raise money and aware ness for mental health issues and homeless ness for veterans. The walk takes about 22 hours. This year, it raised nearly $130,000 for nonprofit groups that help veterans. The cause is near to Bryan’s heart. “I hate to see people go through what they go through in the military, and end up laying under a bridge somewhere. It’s terrible,” he said. He wanted to help, but knew he wouldn’t be able to travel to Ne braska and complete the walk.So, he came up with his own walk — half the distance, and in Kansas instead of Nebraska. And though he did the walk more as a show of solidarity than as a fundraiser, he encour ages anyone who is in spired by his story to reach out to area veter ans organizations and donate.

By the end of the day, they’d topped 100 miles. “I’m going to keep walking as long as I’m able, even if I have to go at a snail’s pace,” Bryan said.“Not doing anything is worse.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Former Florida forward Keyontae Johnson, who collapsed during a game in December 2020 and hasn’t played since, is headed to Kansas State to resume his college career.Johnson made the announcement on social media Saturday, picking the Wildcats over fellow finalists Memphis, Nebraska and Western Kentucky. The 23-year-old Norfolk, Virginia, native will have one year of eligibility remaining, although he could petition the NCAA for another.Johnson graduated from Florida in late April and announced plans to transfer days later. K-State and new coach Jerome Tang hosted Johnson on a recruiting visit in “WeJuly. are just so excited to welcome Keyontae and his family to K-State,” Tang said in a statement. “He is a gifted player and a winner who brings significant experience to our team after playing in one of the toughest leagues in the country while at Florida. Beyond that, we think Keyontae is just a perfect fit with the guys we already have in the program. We can’t wait to get him to Manhattan and introduce him to Wildcat Nation!” Johnson has indicated he has received medical clearance to play again, something Florida officials said wasn’t going to happen in Gainesville. Now, he will get a chance to face his former team next season; K-State hosts the Gators on Jan. 28 in the annual SEC-Big 12 Challenge. The 6-foot-5, 230-pound Johnson could be a potential difference-maker for the Wildcats, who are rebuilding under Tang after finishing 14-17 in coach Bruce Weber’s final year in Manhattan.

Desmarteau’s team also finished with 12 shots on goal, only coming up with one that hit the back of the net. “The team played well all around this weekend for it being the first official games of the season. We could have finished the ball better and taken advantage of more of our opportunities. But overall, it was a great weekend and an excellent test for us going into the season,” said Desmarteau. Allen then hit the road to take on Southwestern Illinois on Sunday afternoon in a match in which they shutout the Blue Storm, 2-0. Temesgn Texiera scored the first goal 30 minutes into regulation on a ball from midfield which bounced over the goalkeeper’s head. The goal was crucial after the Southwestern Illinois’ goalkeeper made a number of big saves throughout the opening half. Then in the second half, Allen’s Geovanny Pacheco netted a ball which was fed through the middle of the field by Thiago Fernandez.

“I think he has a very simple approach, and he sticks with it,” Rays manager Kevin Cash said. “Doesn’t try to do too much. Kind of takes what the pitcher gives. If you’re going to work away, he’ll beat you away. If you’re going to come inside, he can pull balls. Just a really good hitter that’s seeing the ball well.”The Rays have won seven of nine, and held opponents to three runs or fewer in eight of their last nine Kansasgames.City righthander Zack Greinke was lifted due to forearm cramping after allowing two runs and five hits over four innings. The 38year old was checked by a trainer with Jose Siri batting with two outs in the fourth and retired him on fly ball after taking a warm-up throw, but was replaced by Jose Cuas to start the fifth.

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (AP) — Kyle Larson was looking for a jolt of momentum. He got it for the second straight time at Watkins Glen International.Thereigning NASCAR Cup champion, winless since his only victory of the season at Auto Club Speedway in February, beat Hendrick Motorsports teammate Chase Elliott on a restart with five laps to go and won the weather-delayed NASCAR Cup race Sunday. Elliott was seeking his eighth career road course victory and had control of the race late, but a caution gave Larson a chance and he took advantage, moving Elliott to the left coming out of the first turn, then pulling away for a weekend Xfinity-Cup sweep. It was the 11th straight road course win for Chevrolet. “I did what I felt I needed to do to get the win. I knew that was my only opportunity to get by him, I’m not proud of it,” said Larson, who won 10 races last season “The restarts kept me in it. It’s good to get another win. Hopefully, it will build some momentum.”AJAllmendinger was second for the second straight day to Larson, Joey Logano third, Elliott fourth and Daniel SuárezElliottfifth.declined to criticize his teammate when interviewed postrace, but the disappointment was palpable.“Just a huge congratulations to Kyle and everybody on the 5 team.
backups Taylor Heinicke and Sam Howell led touchdown drives. Heinicke led an 11-play, 84-yard drive, capped by a 9-yard touchdown to Cam Sims just before halftime. Howell led a 93-yard drive in the fourth quarter to cut the deficit to 17-14.

He did a great job,” said Elliott, who wrapped up the regular-season title. “Seriously, they deserve it.”The race began on rain tires with a single-file start, the only one of the day, and pole-sitter Elliott was passed early by Michael McDowell, who started third. But strategy played out as the race wore on with Elliott, Larson, and McDowell, all on a two-stop strategy around the 2.45-mile natural terrain layout, holding the upper hand. Elliott regained the lead with 18 laps to go in the 90-lap race and when the final pit stops were complete he was just over 2 seconds ahead of his teammate. McDowell was more than 10 seconds behind, but a spin by Joey Hand in the first turn brought out a caution and bunched up the field for a restart with eight laps to Elliottgo. picked the outside lane for the restart and held off Larson when the green flag waved, quickly building a half-second lead.

Starters crisp as Chiefs top Washington in preseason play
Kansas City Chiefs center Creed Humphrey (52) prepares to snap the ball in the rst quarter during the preseason game against the Washington Commanders at Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday. THE KANSAS CITY STAR/EMILY CURIEL/TNS
KIMI’S DAY Former Formula One champ Kimi Raikkonen drove the No. 91 Chevrolet for TrackHouse Racing in his Cup debut. Raikkonen, who qualifed 27th, had veteran crew chief Darian Grubb atop the pit box for guidance. The Finn made it into the top 10 in the second stage but was taken out in the final stage at about the midpont of the the race when he was slammed hard on the right side going through the bus stop, ending his day. “I had a good line there. Unfortunately, I had no time to react,” Raikkonen said. “That’s how it goes.” He was one of the record seven drivers from foreign countries competing in a series race and came out of retirement to compete for TrackHouse owner Justin Marks, whose goal is to expand the NASCAR’s international reach by fielding a Cup entry for international racers.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes led two similar touchdown drives and the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Washington Commanders 24-14 in a preseason game Saturday.Thefirst one was a 12-play, 87-yard drive in 5:28, capped by a 5-yard touchdown pass to Jody Fortson. The second was a 12-play, 82-yard drive that took 5:25 and was capped by a 7-yard touchdown toss to Fortson.Mahomes finished 12 of 19 for 162 yards. In two preseason games, Mahomes has played three series and has led three touchdown drives. He was 6 of 7 for 60 yards and a touchdown in the first preseason game in Chicago.“Ithought our execution was pretty good there,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. “The first play (was designed for Fortson). The second one, Pat was moving around and found him.” “It’s good to have Jody back. He’s a good football player who had a tough injury against this team last year.” Fortson, who is listed as the fourth-string tight end on the depth chart, tied for the team lead on the Chiefs with four receptions, most coming in the first half. The Chiefs use multiple tight-end sets, and Fortson could earn a spot on the 53-man roster. “I think you’ve seen what Jody is,” Mahomes said. “When he’s one on one and he has a guy behind him, you can give him that chance. I have that trust with him now. He wasn’t necessarily open, but when you have a big guy who can make those physical, tough catches, you give him a chance.”Fortson is glad to be part of the mix after suffering a season-ending Achilles injury last October.“It’sa blessing,” he said. “I’m just honored to be here. The support system of the athletic trainers and the coaches have never let me get down. It feels awesome to get out here and play in front of these fans.” He has five career regular-season receptions, including two touchdowns, all coming last season. But with his 6-4, 226-pound frame, he looks like he may be a short-yardage option for Mahomes.Washington starter Carson Wentz played three series and finished 6 of 9 for 64 yards. “I thought it was OK,” Wentz said. “I definitel6y left some plays out there, definitely wish we could’ve sustained some drives a little bit more. That’s the biggest thing, the biggest takeaway for me, early. Especially those third downs, there’s a couple that I wish I could have back.” The Commanders went 0 for 3 on third downs with Wentz in the game — with all three leading to “Carsonpunts.gotthe ball to the 40s a couple of times and we didn’t get points out of it because we made a negative play,” coach Ron Rivera said. “We had a thirdand-5 and a third-and-10 and then take a sack. We can’t do that to ourselves.”TheChiefs’ starting defense has not allowed a point in the first two exhibition games. “The guys are playing fast,” Reid said. “We’re short a couple of guys (defensive tackle Chris Jones and defensive end Frank Clark), so we had some younger guys in. They got some good experience.“Ilike what I’m seeing. We’ve got to keep getting better, but I do like the Washingtonspeed.”
Larson
BUTKER SHOWS RANGE Harrison Butker missed on his only longrange attempt (from 53 yards), but he showed the strength in his right leg during warmups. He hit one from 63 yards with plenty of room to spare. He then hit comfortably from 69 yards and from 74 yards on his next two Butkertries.has said during training camp that he felt he could be successful from 70 yards in a game. He has a career long of 58 yards and is 20 of 28 from beyond 50 yards.
RAIN MAN Lightning strikes and rain delayed the start two hours. It was the first time the Next Gen car raced in wet conditions on the grooved tires and Chase Briscoe took advantage. As the track began to dry he was one of the first drivers to pit to put on the faster slicks and the strategy worked as he held on to win the opening 20-lap stage, his fourth stage win of the season.

TNS PHOTOS CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Baker Mayfield will start the Carolina Panthers’ Sept. 11 regular-season opener against his former team, the Cleveland Browns.Panthers coach Matt Rhule made the announcement on the team’s website Monday. Mayfield, acquired in a trade with the Browns earlier this offseason, beat out incumbent starter Sam Darnold for the job. The news was expected as Mayfield had outperformed Darnold during most of training“Whencamp.we started this process, we were looking at three things,” Rhule said. “Number one, mastery of the offense, number two, situational football excellence, and number three, moving the ball and getting guys involved. That’s been our focus all along. Baker has made a lot of improvement, a lot of growth in all three areas in a short amount of Bothtime.” Mayfield and Darnold are expected to play in the team’s preseason finale on Friday night against the Buffalo Bills. Neither Mayfield nor Darnold has seen much action in the preseason and both were held out of last week’s game against the New EnglandRhulePatriots.originally said the Panthers would keep three quarterbacks on the roster, but that was before rookie third-round draft pick Matt Corral suffered a Lisfranc ligament tear in his foot. “All along, we’ve felt like we need to have a really strong quarterback room, and have every quarterback ready to play,” Rhule said. “The reality of this league is most teams will play multiple quarterbacks. Sam has worked incredibly hard, played really well for us during training camp, and will be ready to go if and when it’s needed.”
NEW YORK (AP) — Alexander Zverev, the 2020 U.S. Open runner-up, will miss the tournament this year while recovering from surgery on his right ankle.Zverev tore ligaments in the ankle during his semifinal match against Rafael Nadal at the French Open in June, and the No. 2-ranked player withdrew from the U.S. Open on Monday.The 25-year-old German was on the verge of his first Grand Slam title two years ago in Flushing Meadows before Dominic Thiem rallied to beat him in a fifth-set tiebreaker. It was the first time a man overcame a 2-0 deficit in the final of the event since Pancho Gonzalez did it against Ted Schroeder in 1949. Zverev won the Olympic gold medal in Tokyo last year and then returned to the U.S. Open semifinals, losing to Novak Djokovic in five sets.American Stefan Kozlov moved into the main draw for the tournament. Main draw play begins next Monday.Reilly Opelka, who won two titles earlier this year, also withdrew Monday because of injury. He reached the fourth round of the U.S. Open last year. Fellow American Jack Sock took his place in the main draw.

Plate discipline: MLB umps crack down on blocking home
700 CLUB? If this is it for Albert Pujols, the 11-time AllStar is closing his career with quite a flourish. The 42-year-old Pujols blasted two more homers on Saturday, pushing his career total to 692. He’s now just four homers shy of Alex Rodriguez for the No. 4 spot in MLB history. Now the question is this: Can the three-time MVP get to 700? That seemed like a extreme longshot just a few weeks ago, but the way he’s hitting these days, nothing seems impossible. About 40 games are left in the regular season, which Pujols says will be his last. “That’s the hard work I put in day in and day out,” Pujols said. “Nothing surprises me.”

The rule has been around for several years: It was changed in 2014 and is colloquially called the “Buster Posey rule” after the All-Star catcher suffered a broken ankle on a play at the plate.

The Padres and Guardians are both fighting for playoff spots.“Ithought I did everything the way we practice: Step back, give him a lane, not throw the knee in front,” Nola said.So are the catchers right? As with many things, it’s complicated. MLB rules state that “unless the catcher is in possession of the ball, the catcher cannot block the pathway of the runner as he is attempting to Soundsscore.” simple enough. The problem is the catcher is trying to get in good position to field the ball, adjusting to the trajectory of the throw. Many times, that means the catcher moves a foot in front or on top of the plate.
manager Torey Lovullo agreed that the rule is simple, even if the interpretation is not. He added that plays at the plate happen in a hurry and there’s a lot of moving parts in a couple seconds.“The timing of sports in slow motion sometimes looks so different than what actually happens in front of you when you’re doing it,” Lovullo said. “I don’t think anyone is maliciously acting out to break the rules.”

The rough-and-tumble days of Pete Rose bowling over Ray Fosse at home plate of the 1970 All-Star Game are long gone. Most believe that’s a change for the better. “It’s not a football game,” D-backs manager Torey Lovullo said. “We’ve got to make sure guys stay safe.” But the drama — and sometimes controversy — surrounding plays at the plate are still around more than 50 years later. Two MLB games over the past 10 days were partially decided after video replay overturned plays at the plate, favoring baserunners over the catcher. The first was in Washington’s 4-3 win over the San Diego Padres and the other was in Detroit’s 4-3 victory over the Cleveland Guardians.Theplays were strikingly similar: Cleveland’s Austin Hedges and San Diego’s Austin Nola each tagged out a runner at the plate, but on review, it was ruled that the catchers failed to give a clear lane for the runner to score and the call was overturned.Hedges and Nola were both stunned. Hedges was particularly angry, calling the reversal “embarrassing.”

Dear Carolyn: My wife and I live 10 min utes from her mother. We visit her once a week, and text every day. We’ll soon be moving to a new apartment an hour and a half away. It’s larger, and in the area where we’d like to someday buy a house and start a family.Unfortunately, my mother-in-law insists our moving away means we hate her. Otherwise, we wouldn’t leave when she needs us to stay. The thing is, she doesn’t need us nearby. She’s in good health. She’s generally very in dependent. She’s lived her entire adult life sev eral states away from herSofamily.wenever expected this much drama over a comparatively shortdistance move. We’ll still text daily and visit every few weeks. We’ve told her there will be space in the new apart ment for her to come stayNonesometimes.ofthat matters. She still sees our move as a Howpunishment.canwehelp her understand this is not about her? How do we communicate that our unwillingness to priori tize her happiness over ours doesn’t mean we don’t care? — Untying the Apron Strings Untying the Apron Strings: Stop explaining yourselves. Just stop. If she really wanted to understand, then she would probably piece it together herself — say, “They like that neigh borhood.” And if she were truly stumped, she could 1. ask you to ex plain, and 2. accept as an answer the basic outline of your thought process that you provided to me. So there’s bad faith all over her reaction. Her lament that you decided to move because you “hate her” is not even an hour and a half away from the neighbor hood of “understand ing.” She is trying — with more success than finesse — to bully you emotionally into calling off your move. That’s it. One of the advantag es of visiting a relative weekly and texting daily and planning to main tain an active presence even as you move an hour-plus away is that you are fully inoculated against charges that you don’t care. As you say yourself, you also operate from a foundational “unwill ingness to prioritize her happiness over ours.” That’s not only your prerogative but also ap propriate for indepen dent adults. You’re liv ing your lives, as is your prerogative, and she’s living hers, as is her pre rogative.Thatmeans, by the way, that all the time you spend together is freely chosen vs. co erced, which makes it better, even if visits are less frequent due to the distance.Sojust own it. Own it and stop tacitly validat ing her claim to the top spot on your priority list.If I sound cold, then that’s because I see prey ing on people’s sympa thies as a particularly insidious form of black mail. “If you loved me, you wouldn’t live your life on your own terms!!” does not warm my heart or even pluck my guilt strings. It’s a form of manipulation and con trol like any other — ex cept crocheted into an afghan and presented as love. Don’t be suckered in. Love her, listen to her, visit her, feel com passion for whatever hole within her she is trying to fill with your obedience — but don’t erase yourselves for her. She’ll either deduce you care from the evidence of your continued vis its, or she’ll hang onto her victim narrative in perpetuity at, ultimately, her own unrecoverable expense.

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT. Pa. (AP) — A packed Lamade Stadium, a national TV audience and an opposing pitcher who tossed a no-hitter in a regional final.That would trouble a lot of teams of 10- to 12-year-olds, but not Hawaii.Kekoa Payanal drove the third pitch over the fence in left, and Hawaii was on its way onceHawaiiagain.has won its first two games at the Little League World Series by a combined score of 23-1. That’s 11-1 over Northwest, and 12-0 over Metro — specifically Massapequa Coast from Long Island — on Friday. The club from Honolulu hasn’t even played a full game yet, having mercy-ruled each of its opponents after the fifth inning. On Friday, Kekoa hit two of his team’s four home runs. “I have this routine,” Kekoa said. “Basically you take a deep breath and stare at your bat to focus. That’s what works for me.” It’s not just hitting, too. Hawaii has dominated on defense as well, allowing only one hit, and remaining errorless in the field. It’s more of the same for a Hawaii team that has been one of the best American Little League teams over the last several years. This Honolulu squad won the tournament in 2018, and the 2021 team placed third — having to stay in a COVID-19 bubble through regionals and the LLWS. Keith Oda, the team’s interim manager while his brother, Gerald Oda, recovers from COVID-19, said the team works on hitting anywhere from an hour and a half to two hours each“Firstday. at-bat we need to attack,” Oda said. “Don’t let them breathe, put them on their heels early.”Onthe mound, Jaron Lancaster and Cohen Sakamoto combined to no-hit the team from Long Island. Lancaster, sporting a blonde Mohawk, struck out seven of the 11 batters he faced in three innings. Both Lancaster and Cohen are eligible under Little League pitch limit rules to play Monday when Hawaii faces Texas.The combined no-hitter was true to the team’s motto “We Me,” or “we is greater than me.”“What we pound in the heads of these kids is that it’s not about you, it’s about the team,” Oda said. “Whatever it takes for the team to do well. Even if you aren’t starting, be the best cheerleader to your fullest for the team.” Esaiah Wong wasn’t in the starting lineup Friday night, but followed what he had been taught. Esaiah said he got so excited for Kekoa’s first-inning homer he almost fell over on his way out of the dugout.
“The quicker you can give this analysis to a coach or whoever your audience is, the more valuable that it’s going to be,” Engler said.
