WATER SUPPLY STILL SAFE Despite drought, Redmond far from dry By BOB JOHNSON bob@iolaregister.com

Don’t fret whether there’ll be enough water flowing from Iola taps this winter for a hot, soothing bath. If it doesn’t rain between now and then — some arrived in Iola Friday — John Redmond Dam and Reservoir and similar impoundments, Council Grove and Marion, have enough water to tide over those who draw from the Neosho River until the early months of 2014. That’s an analysis made by the Kansas Water Office and given to Toby Ross, Iola water plant manager, and others this week. The Register received the same assessment. Iola and others that use Neosho River water are members of Water Assurance District No. 3, which gives each rights to water released from the reservoirs to keep the river running in hot and dry times. If no rain falls, Redmond storage would be pressed to meet downstream demands beyond the end of the year, said Katie PattersonIngels, communications director for the Kansas Water Office. In answer to queries from the Register, Patterson-Ingels had this to say in an e-mail: In a scenario where there was minimal nat-

ural inflow to Redmond reservoir for multiple years, assurance storage would be fully used by the end of the year, she wrote. “However, the assurance district has the ability through the operations agreement to use assurance storage from Marion and Council Grove reservoirs,” Patterson-Ingels said. “That storage could get the assurance members through most of next year. “Beyond that, the assurance district could

Catfish, wildlife, boating among lake’s attractions By BOB JOHNSON bob@iolaregister.com

In 1954, old-timers like to recall, drought and heat made much of the Neosho River a dry stream bed. Construction equipment was dispatched upstream to cut channels to permit water from deep holes to flow close enough to Iola to be processed. In Chanute, which didn’t have dammed reservoirs comparable to Iola’s, more drastic measures were needed. Waste water, cleansed with generous helpings

of chemicals, was recycled. John Redmond Dam and Reservoir was a dream then, albeit one that Congress had appropriated funds to build. This year the Neosho has continued to trickle with water released from Redmond’s reservoir. About 160 cubic feet is flowing from the lake each second, enough to meet needs downstream. For the record, 160 cubic feet is about 1,200 gallons. That translates to 4.3 millions gallons an hour, or over 100 million gallons a day. That is more than is drawn

from the river daily for domestic, and other forms, of consumption. If it weren’t the river’s flow would cease. As the accompanying story notes, reservoirs at Redmond, Council Grove and Marion have enough water impounded to ensure that the river won’t run dry for many months, even years. A tour of the Redmond complex reveals much more than just a lake covering nearly 15 square miles with 59 miles of shoreline. On either side, nestled in wooded areas, are campgrounds that

beckon to folks who want to escape the rigors of work-a-day life and spend time exploring what nature has to offer. “We have 53 spaces (for camper trailers or vehicles) on the east side, 43 on the west,” said Gary Simmons, Army Corps of Engineers natural resources officer. “They’re unique because the spaces are among bottomland hardwoods, which give users opportunities to see lots of wildlife. “It’s not unusual to see deer, raccoons and even bobcats,” Simmons said, as two wild turkeys

Bomb threat shutters businesses Iola’s Walmart store was evacuated and cordoned off, along with nearby businesses, Friday evening after a bomb threat surfaced. Dogs trained to sniff out ex-

plosives were summoned from Topeka and by late Friday evening the incident had not been resolved. After employees and customers were removed from Walmart

and nearby businesses, State Street and the first half of Miller Road running west from State along the north side of the Walmart property were closed to traffic.

Calling All Communities campaign returns By RICHARD LUKEN richard@iolaregister.com

Allen County’s three school districts are teaming up once again with the hopes of receiving as much as $150,000 through U.S. Cellular’s Calling All Communities contest. U.S. Cellular will donate $150,000 to an American school receiving the most online votes during the nationwide com-

petition, which runs Sept. 14 through Oct. 21. The communications company also will donate $50,000 to the next 17 top vote-getters. To better the chances of bringing the money to Allen County, administrators from Iola USD 257, Marmaton Valley USD 256 and Humboldt USD 258 have agreed to utilize a team approach. Thus, all votes for the county schools should be directed to Iola Middle School. If IMS placVol. 114, No. 216

es among the winners, the prize money would be split evenly among the three districts — $50,000 each if IMS places first; $16,666.66 apiece if the school finishes in the top 18. Jeff Aubrey, U.S. Cellular sales manager, and Misty Stiffler, inventory coordinator, spoke about the campaign Thursday with USD 257 Superintendent of Schools Brian Pekarek and others in the district. They hope to schedule similar meetings

strutted across a nearby road. “We have many events, such as canoeing and fishing tournaments and a good portion (of area near the lake) is set aside for offroad vehicles,” he added. An anticipated event each year is OK Kids — Outdoors Kansas for Kids — the first weekend after Labor Day. “We had about 600 kids here last year,” Simmons said, participating in a catch-and-release fishing tournament and a myriad of outdoor activities and competitions.

New to the district Chemist finds right mix in Iola By ALLISON TINN allison@iolaregister.com

If one path doesn’t work, regroup and go in a different direction. That’s the approach that led Dana Daugharthy back to Iola to teach physics, physical education and science at Iola High School. Daugharthy graduated from Iola High in 2006 and earned his undergraduate degree in chemistry from Bethel College in North Newton. His intent was to become a chemist. He worked on a reaction project for one semester, but it didn’t work out, Daugharthy said. “That was when I switched over to education,” Daugharthy said. He completed a master’s degree in curriculum and instruction from the University of Kansas. “I stayed in contact with people at the high school. They needed a position filled so I took the job and moved back to Iola,” Daugharthy said. This is Daugharthy’s first

year teaching — what better place than the school he attended. “There are still teachers that are on staff when I was a student,” Daugharthy said. In addition to teaching Daugharthy also is an assistant football coach. “I played football in high school and at Bethel,” Daugharthy said. “I had never coached before, so I thought I would try it. Thus far I am loving it.” In the classroom Daugharthy takes the hands-off approach; safe to say, he’s not a See DAUGHARTHY | Page A3

Court report

Benefit dinner Friday

DISTRICT COURT Judge Daniel Creitz Civil cases filed:

MORAN — Proceeds from an enchilada dinner Friday at Marmaton Valley High School’s football game will benefit Jill Ramsey of Bronson. Ramsey, 39, is suffering from breast cancer and related health issues. Her son, Levi, plays for the Wildcats. Food service employees will prepare enchilada meals, including dessert and a drink. They’re asking for $5 donations. Other school staff members will be on hand to help. The dinner begins at 5 p.m., prior to Marmaton Valley’s home football game against Crest. An article in Thursday’s Register detailing Ramsey’s plight failed to include a phone number for those who want to assist in other ways. Donors may call Iolan Debbie Jones, (620) 3630147. She also is accepting donations for a benefit garage sale Sept. 15 at her home, 412 E. Rock St. Additionally, bank accounts have been set up in Ramsey’s name at Great Southern Bank and Emprise Bank in Iola.

Opinion

Ann Romney: Gotta admire her family values I can’t help but like Ann Romney. Anyone who’s a gazillionaire and still cleans her own house is a saint — or obsessive. I mean, is it really necessary to prove you can clean a toilet? Still, it’s commendable she insisted her five sons grow up knowing how to clean their rooms. I bet as the only female in the house she was strict about them putting the seat down. Now that she has four homes — estates, really — I’m not sure she still has housekeeping duties. The house with the elevator for cars surely was her idea. That’s handy for keeping muddy shoes from tracking through the house. Of course, the car elevator is for their place in San Diego — where average rainfall is 12 inches. But sand can be a problem, too. I also like how Ann rarely used a nanny to raise her sons. She was hands-on with their upbringing and took her job as a mother seriously. In an interview with National Public Radio, Ann said Mitt supported her role as a stay-at-home mother. “He was making money … and he would come home and say ‘Ann, my job is temporary, but your job is a forever job that’s going to bring forever happiness.’” I’m sure as long as he was keeping up his end of the bargain she was good. All kidding aside, good families make for good communities and countries and I appreciate their devotion to family.

Susan Lynn Register editor

BECAUSE THE ROMNEYS are wealthy — estimated worth $250 million — they’re easy targets for criticism. Like for banking their money in Switzerland, Bermuda and the Cayman Islands to avoid paying U.S. taxes. And the four homes — I mean really, it’s not like having a getaway on Elsmore Lake. And then there’s the Romneys paying a 13 percent rate on their income, instead of 35 percent per the U.S. tax code. The average American, by the way, pays a tax rate of 25 percent. Mitt’s remark about not having to show his birth certificate to prove he was born in the United States was a cheap shot at President Obama. But get Romney to show his tax returns over the past 10 years — standard protocol established in 1967 by his own father, George Romney — and, well, he’ll be able to find them after the election. This summer Ann took a lot of grief for appearing on a morning news program wearing a $990 silk T-shirt. Considering Mitt’s annual income of $21.6 million, the shirt was not out of order.

The biggest surprise was seeing Mitt wearing a suit and tie, instead of an Arrow shirt and pressed blue jeans — his campaign uniform. Come on. For 15 years he ran Bain Capital, a conglomerate that swallowed up big companies like candy. Those guys wear $5,000 suits, monogrammed shirts, cuff links and pretty scarves in their breast pockets. And now he dresses casual Fridays? I’m not falling for it. But Ann, even in high school — and we’re talking the 1960s — looked good and today she’s not afraid to admit she prefers Prada. Of course, sometimes Ann forgets her lifestyle is not quite like ours. When her husband ran for president in 2008, she said she, too, has known hard times. As college students, they had to sell some stock — as in investments — to stay afloat. Not quite the same as hocking your watch to pay for gas. IN HER SPEECH Tuesday night at the Republican Convention Ann tried hard to connect with the fairer sex with a “salute” to women. Looking directly into the camera she said, “You’re the ones who always have to do a little more. You know what it’s like to work a little harder during the day to earn the respect you deserve at work and then come home to help with that book report which just has to be done.” At the end of the day, moms

and dads let out a collective sigh, she said, and “if you listen carefully, you’ll hear the women sighing a little bit more than the men. It’s how it is, isn’t it? “It’s the moms who always have to work a little harder, to make everything right. “It’s the moms of this nation — single, married, widowed — who really hold this country together. We’re the mothers, we’re the wives, we’re the grandmothers, we’re the big sisters, we’re the little sisters, we’re the daughters. “You know it’s true, don’t you? You’re the ones who always have to do a little more.” Maybe it’s just me, but I couldn’t find those words inspirational or appropriate. Yes, Ann showed us even gobs of money can’t insulate one from cancer

or other diseases. And I’d agree that women handle more familial responsibilities than men. But I don’t think her husband’s proposed policies of reducing social services and giving people like the Romneys more tax breaks are going to be helpful to the audience she was targeting — single women who are struggling to make ends meet while raising children. ANN ROMNEY’S goal Tuesday night was to paint her husband as sensitive to the plight of the less privileged with the strength and determination to “lift up” the country. What we really learned is that Ann Romney is tough as nails, and if her husband is elected president, his strongest ally will continue to be his wife.

Robeson portrayal history at its best The excellent portrayal of Paul Robeson by accomplished actor Stogie Kenyatta at Washburn’s Gray Theatre on behalf of Topeka’s Brown Foundation recalled and reinforced my long-held opinion that Paul Robeson was the single most talented person of the 20th century. Robeson, born in 1898 to a father born in slavery and a Quaker-abolitionist mother, won a

Higher school taxes needed Soon I’d like to see property taxes I pay to support USD 257 increase. So should anyone else who cares about kids. That would mean voters in the district had approved a general obligation bond issue to improve schools. My fervent hope is at the very least among those improvements is a new elementary school. New middle and high schools also would be the cat’s meow, but we may have go about whatever we do in stages, not one fell swoop. Wednesday evening I had opportunity to tour Chanute’s new elementary school, with several members of the district’s School Facilities Committee. I was tickled pink for Chanute kids; envious when I thought about ours. District 413 voters approved $48 million in bonds in 2005 to build new elementary and high schools and upgrade Royster Middle School. The elementary school cost about $17 million. From every angle we viewed the school, the money was well spent. Iola elementaries also need replaced; have for years. The buildings may be structurally sound, but fall short of being centers of learning they should be during the most important phase of a child’s education, when they’re learning the very basics of core subjects. Our schools have been refitted

to serve as well as possible, but they’re far behind when compared to a state-of-the-art facility. Their wiring was strung when dangling incandescents were common, and practically no other demands were made of electricity. Climate controls date to the 1950s. Rooms are woefully small to meet regimens that call for far more than a teacher to stand at the front of the room and lecture. From a physical standpoint, delivery of education has bounded forward. Iola is crawling along. USD 257 teachers and staff do exceedingly well with what they have. However, so much more could be done, technologically and with advanced teaching methods. After the Chanute expedition, I’ve both feet firmly on the bandwagon and my fervent hope is that the facilities group will move with resolve and board members will give caring patrons — most folks in the district — opportunity to troop to the polls to make our mark for better educational opportunities for our kids.

state-wide competition to enter Rutgers, New Jersey’s state university. One of only three African Americans at Rutgers, Robeson had a diverse undergraduate career probably never equaled. He was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in his junior year; he was class valedictorian, winner of 15 varsity letters, and football all-America in 1918-1919. Contemporary authority Walter Camp called Robeson the best collegiate player of all time. But, what set Robeson aside from all others was his excellence as singer and actor. He went from Rutgers to Columbia Law School, and passed the notoriously difficult New York Bar exam on his first try. Next, the six-foot-three, 220-pound scholar and athlete became the first African American associate of a prestigious Manhattan law firm, something previously unthinkable in that era of oppressive segregation. But the law firm association was short-term, reportedly due to the firm’s hesitation to permit Robeson to represent clients in court. But, Harlem and the famous Harlem Renaissance were just a few blocks north, and there Robeson fit right in. He married an accomplished woman, and participated in the glorious achievements of scores of black

Like many American black artists, Robeson was more comfortable in Europe where he felt race was not an impediment to his personal or public life.

people who were, in a sense, free for the first time. America’s only indigenous music, jazz, was being played by the likes of Duke Ellington and Cab Calloway, and sung by Ella Fitzgerald and Lena Horne. Robeson became another diamond in the Harlem tiara. Robeson’s magnificent baritone became a recognized national treasure through his rendition of “Ol’ Man River” in Jerome Kern’s “Showboat.” By the way, today one may purchase CDs of this man’s many renditions of American and classical music. Robeson’s talents carried him abroad where he supported the Spanish Republicans in their battle against General Francisco Franco’s fascist forces in Spain. The Spanish Civil War mixed democrats and communists in opposition to Hitler’s and Mussolini’s forces supporting Franco. But this war, immediately before WWII, also made for some strange bedfellows among socialists, communists, and democrats. Robeson worked to make civil rights progress here at home. He talked, without immediate success, to baseball commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis about the integration of America’s national game. He supported efforts of a young Harry Belefonte and worked closely with W. E. B. Dubois. Kenyatta’s play touches lightly on the massive difficulties Robeson encountered in the last 25 years of his life. Like many American black artists, he was more comfortable in Europe where he felt race was not an impediment to his personal or public life. He sent his son to Russia for his education. This, combined with the

U.S.S.R.’s efforts to publicize American racism, particularly in its efforts to establish communist hegemony in Africa, led to Robeson’s submitting to honors and favors bestowed by the communists. The result was not unexpected. Our government rescinded Robeson’s passport from 1950 to 1958, when he recovered it as the result of a related Supreme Court decision (5-4). Travel restrictions cut his income and recognition in the prime of his career, and his communist taint effectively made him a non-person here. Robeson received many honors, but many came only after his death in 1976, when his former association with communism was less threatening. Tucked in among Robeson’s achievements was his performance of Othello, which ran on Broadway for 296 shows, the longest Broadway run of any Shakespearean play to this day. In his later years, he became a friend of Albert Einstein at nearby Princeton, and completed his mastery of 12 languages. He probably could have done much better without the burden of racism he carried in early 20th century America, but he did enough to affirm his peerless talents. The one-man, two-hour show provided an infatuating and informative evening that should have been witnessed by nearer 2,000, than the respectable 200 present. But, it reminded us once again Topeka will always be a special place because a massive wrong was eradicated here. Dr. Roy may be reached at wirroy@aol.com

H Recreation Continued from A1

Recreational fishing is a year-round draw for the reservoir, which is known for large catfish, caught in the lake as well as in the spillway are below the dam. The complex also is a sanctuary for animals native to eastern Kansas and untold thousands of birds and waterfowl. In the past few days flights of pelicans have started to show up at the lake, with rafts of them floating over mud flats near the dam, where they dine on small fish seeking fugitive from aquatic predators. Redmond’s reservoir isn’t a frequent destination for water skiers, but it is a good lake for boating, Simmons said. “We stress that anyone in a boat have on a life preserv-

er (it’s the law), which we promote all the time, and we have a ‘learn to swim well’ campaign,” he said. Many of today’s inflatable life preservers are so light and thin that “you don’t even know you have them on,” Simmons added. Low-lake levels this summer have had an impact on recreational use, he said, as has hot weather. “It’s hurt some of our local businesses, but when we have a catfish tournament, there’s still a good crowd.” THE LAKE’S level is maintained by 14 large steel tainter gates, which also control release of water to maintain the Neosho River’s flow and for use downstream. The gates look new af-

ter having undergone substantial maintenance and painting this year, part of a $31 million upgrade authorized by Congress for the eight lakes under the Army Corps of Engineers in Kansas. Eugene Goff, Redmond operations manager, said all 14 gates felt workmen’s touch this year, as did eight each at Fall River and Toronto reservoirs. An ongoing project, easily visible from vehicles crossing the four-mile-long Redmond dam, is construction of a new floating dry dock that will be used often in years ahead to facilitate work on the gates. Goff explained when the dock was snuggled into place behind one of the gates, intervening space

would be pumped dry to give workers opportunity to do their chores in a dry and safe environment. Noticeable on concrete spillways, accentuated by vegetation that has sprung up during the drought, are trickles of water. They’re not evidence of dam failure, Goff said, rather weep well meant to keep lake-bottom pressure near the dam from becoming so great it creates problems. “The lake is kind of like a gigantic bowl of Jell-O,” Goff said. “If you were to push your hand down in a bowl of Jell-O, some would squish up the sides and some wound push against the bottom. The same’s true of the lake,” with water putting pressure on the bottom of the impoundment.

Camp sites near John Redmond Dam and Reservoir are favored because of their natural settings, including a preponderance of hardwood trees.

purchase reserve capacity storage from Marion and Council Grove reservoirs, which could meet their needs for several more years, again with no rain.” Last year the Kansas Water Office looked at possibilities of Redmond getting enough inflow to refill, if it reached an elevation of 1,034.5 feet above sea level by Nov. 15. Conservation pool, when the reservoir is “full,” is 1,039. “The probability of it refilling by March 1 (2013) was 70 percent and the probability of it refilling by June 1 (2013) was 90 percent,” Patterson-Ingels said. Currently, the lake’s level is 1,036 and dropping about .05 of a foot a day, or six-tenths of an inch; last year’s low point was 1,035.11. Then, the lake refilled in December. Figures from 2011 are noteworthy because eastern Kansas suffered a similar drought then. However, this year has been drier, with 17.56 inches of moisture through Friday morning in Iola. On Aug. 30, 2011, the total was 21.27 inches. For all of 2011, 33.30 inches fell, meaning fall rains added just over 11 inches to the total. Also, Eugene Goff, Army Corps of Engineers operations manager at Redmond, noted a couple of external forces will work in the reservoir’s favor the remainder of the year. First, because of a statewide drought disaster declaration by Gov. Sam Brownback, stage 2 water restrictions were initiated by the KWO. Second, evaporation wanes with cooler daytime temperatures and longer, cooler nights. Meanwhile, Ross, who monitors Iola usage, said water restrictions ordered in early August no doubt had had an effect on Iolans’ consumption. But, he said, “it’s difficult to know exactly how much. The restrictions started about the same time the weather started to cool some,” and that a bet-

ter analysis would have occurred had the restrictions been in place during the prolonged hot spell. As is, consumption is down about 1½ million gallons a week. Iola was selling about 10½ million gallons a week during the hottest of summer weather. The past week consumption was 9 million gallons. RESEARCH BY Goff found the all-time low level for the reservoir, since its completion in 1965, was 1,032.7 feet in September 1984. “The lake is like a giant bowl,” said Gary Simmons, Army Corps of Engineers natural resources specialist who deals with recreation at the lake. At conservation stage, the lake’s surface covers 9,400 acres, or a little less than 15 square miles. Depth in most places is 5½ to 7 feet, which means when the lake drops its surface acreage diminishes quickly, prompting appearance of mud flats along shorelines. Sedimentation has occurred but hasn’t become enough of a problem to dictate dredging to reclaim the lake’s original configuration. Goff said such a project probably wouldn’t pass a cost-effectiveness test. The reservoir is the result of the Flood Control Act of May 17, 1950, which came out of Congress before the flood of 1951, the worst in history in eastern Kansas. While flood control was an initial concern, the reservoir also is meant to provide a water supply downstream on the Neosho, as well as a means of maintaining water quality along the river’s drainage. Adjacent campgrounds and fishing opportunities also have made the reservoir a major recreation destination in eastern Kansas.

Humboldt and Moran in the coming days. The funds come with no strings attached, Aubrey explained, and may be used in whatever manner the districts see fit. This is the fourth year the cellular phone company has offered Calling All Communities, and the second year in a row the three local school districts have pooled their efforts. A rules change from last year should benefit the Allen County schools, Aubrey said, because now supporters only have to vote once instead of daily. Aubrey explained Allen County’s schools fared well at the outset of last year’s contest — climbing as high as 13th among more than

500 schools participating nationwide — before enthusiasm waned in the latter days of the contest. Allen County’s threesome wound up just outside the top 20. Still, the local effort caught the attention of U.S. Cellular officials, Aubrey said, after it was learned the Iola-Marmaton ValleyHumboldt triumvirate took home the best finish ever for Kansas. ORGANIZERS hope to

ramp up efforts even more this year by offering prizes for students and their parents involved in the vote. Flyers will be distributed at several school and community events, such as football games and fall festivals, along with slips of paper the students may give to

Mustangs shut out Chargers By JOCELYN SHEETS jocelyn@iolaregister.com

Handling adversity was key Friday night. In a constant rain, Iola High’s Mustangs kicked off the 2012 season with a 22-0 victory over visiting Cherryvale High’s Chargers. It was the good, the bad and the ugly for a season opener at home. Neither team had much offense in the first half. Iola led 2-0 at halftime. The Mustang defense tackled Cherryvale’s Hunter Robinson in the end zone for the safety. Iola put the two points on the board with 7:26 left in the first quarter. With the rain hitting Iola thanks to Hurricane Isaac, both teams had trouble holding onto the football. It became Fumble City on the Mustang field but Iola managed the wet weather better. It’s a new team with a new attitude under a new head coach. Mustang head coach Doug Kerr talked about turning the Mustang football program around. The 2012 team took a first step Friday. “The good was we overcame a lot of adversity in this weather. The kids didn’t let it get to them,” Kerr said. “We made mistakes but they didn’t get their heads down. That was huge for us.” Kerr said the bad was that Iola had chances to put the game away early and just didn’t have that “umpf ” to get it done. But the Mustangs kept working and got the job done in the second half. For a brief time at the start of the third quarter, the rain let up. Yet another Charger fumble set up Iola’s first touchdown of the season. Alex Bauer recovered the football at the Iola 28-yard line at the 8:16 mark. Mason Coons connected with Jacob Harrison on a 26-yard pass

play. Then the Mustang offensive line opened a hole for John Whitworth. Whitworth got through and kept his balance when he was almost tripped up. He scampered 42 yards to paydirt at the 7:24 mark. The extra-point kick failed but Iola led 8-0. Even when the Chargers gathered a little momentum in the third quarter, the Mustang defense stepped up. The Chargers’ Jessie John intercepted a Coons’ pass and returned it to the Iola 35yard line. Drew Housel picked up nine yards on two carries. But a penalty and another fumble pushed the Chargers back. A fourth-down pass by Zach Trim was batted down by Iola’s Jacob Rhoads. Three plays later, Whitworth got loose again for a 46 yard touchdown run. Isaias Macias kicked the extra point and Iola led 15-0 with 11:41 left in the game. Then the rain returned. On the kickoff, Tyler Clubine recovered a short Mustang kick at the Cherryvale 48-yard line. Iola pushed its way down the field. On a fourth down play, the “bull” backfield came in for Iola. With Stephen McDonald leading the way, Kaden Macha picked up 12 yards. Macha was right on McDonald’s hip then broke free for a 10-yard touchdown run. Macias’ kick make it 22-0 with 8:25 left. The Mustang defense continued to stymie the Chargers as did the wet conditions. “The ugly was the weather,” Kerr said. “But the best of the game was after a rough year last year for Iola’s defense, tonight our defense threw a shutout in week one. Hats off to our defense.” See MUSTANGS | B2

GARNETT — Iola High’s Mustangs finished fourth at the Anderson County High Invitational Thursday. The Mustangs and Fillies opened the 2012 cross country season. Baldwin won the varsity boys’ team race with 37 points. St. James Academy of Lenexa was second with 58 and Wellsville was third with 94 points. The Mustangs had three medal winners in the top 30 and scored 125 points as a team for fourth. Chanute was fifth with 146 points. Iola only had two varsity girl

runners and did not have a team score. Baldwin and St. James are state ranked on the girls side and had 10 of the top 14 finishers. Freshman Abigail Taylor and sophomore Jo Lohman ran in the girls’ varsity 4K race. Taylor claimed the 10th-place medal in 17 minutes, 43 seconds. Lohman was 44th in 20:34. “Wow, what a race Abigail had until a wrong turn cost her five places,” said Marvin Smith, IHS head cross country coach. “She was solidly in fifth with 200 yards to go but made a wrong turn on the course. “By the time she retraced her

route, several runners had passed her. Jo was disappointed with her time but she placed in the middle of the pack and the heat had an effect on all times.” In the boys’ varsity 5K race, Jeremy Spears paced the Mustangs with a 13th-place finish in 19:05. Trent Latta was right with him ending up 15th in 19:13. Tyler Powelson. All three are juniors. “Jeremy ran a very steady race moving from being in the high 20s until he got very near to the top 10 runners,” Smith said. “Trent started very fast and ran with the top three for the first half of the race.” See HARRIERS | B2

PLEASANTON — Numbers don’t lie. First, look at 46-0. Crest High’s Lancers needed just over one half of football to chalk up its first win of the 2012 season Thursday night. The Lancers shutout host Pleasanton High’s Blu-Jays in Three Rivers League action. Next — 245 yards on 14 carries, 5 touchdowns, 5 of 9 passing for 25 yards. Those are the numbers put up by senior running back Kyle Hammond for the Lancers. Hammond scored three touchdowns in the first quarter Thurs-

day on runs of 21, 54 and 46 yards. He added a seven-yard run to the end zone in the second quarter. Hammond closed the game with a nine-yard touchdown scamper at the 11:02 mark of the third quarter. Crest dominated the line of scrimmage. The Lancers rolled up 311 total offensive yards while holding the Blu-Jays to 80 yards of offense. The Lancer defense recorded eight tackles for loss. Junior linebacker Clayton Miller had 12 tackles and recovered a fumble. Hammond had 11 tackles. See LANCERS | B2

Fillies capture second in home tennis meet By JOCELYN SHEETS jocelyn@Iolaregister.com

Wins came in every division for Iola High’s Fillies Thursday at home. The Fillies went 2-1 in both singles and both doubles competition. The Fillies finished second in their home quadrangular tennis

meet. Independence placed first with Parsons in third and Columbus in fourth. “I’m pleased with how we competed with just a little over two weeks of practice under our belt,” said Jennifer Bycroft, Fillies’ head coach. “I was thrilled to see our singles players get a victo-

ry, especially on our home court.” Katana Smith played in the No. 1 singles spot for Iola. After getting an 8-0 default win over Columbus, which didn’t bring singles players, K. Smith lost 8-3 to Ashlyn Conner of Independence. Katana Smith bounced back to beat Emily Gatewood of Parsons

8-4. Playing the No. 2 singles for the Fillies was Megan Smith. She also had an 8-0 default win over Columbus. Megan Smith lost to Caringtyn Julian of Independence 8-0. She rallied to win a closely contested match 8-6 over Rayleigh Long of

Parsons. “These wins should boost Katana and Megan’s confidence,” Bycroft said. Abbey St. Clair and Alexis Hobbs opened No. 1 doubles play for Iola with an 8-1 victory over Columbus’ Derfelt and Davolt. The Iola duo lost 8-0 to Independence’s Derrick and Miller. St. Clair and Hobbs finished up the day with a victory. They defeated Stephens and Boydston of Parsons 8-3. In No. 2 doubles action, Shelby Reno and Bobbi Sinclair notched an 8-1 win over Columbus’ Delmont and Johnson. They lost 8-2 to Cox and Papen of Independence. Reno and Sinclair came up with a big win over Parsons’ Benavides and Gandhi to close the action for the day. The Iola pair won 8-7 by winning the tiebreaker 7-5. “Bobbi played very well being a freshman and with only one junior varsity match played,” Bycroft said. “We had some double faults in our doubles play, which I never like to see. “We still have more to work on in practices. But I’m excited about finishing second as a team.” The IHS junior varsity plays at Labette County Tuesday. The Fillies’ varsity travels to Independence next Thursday.

Wildcats handle Hornets H Mustangs MORAN — It’s hard to tell which is more foreboding for upcoming Marmaton Valley High opponents. The Wildcat offense was a juggernaut on the ground, pounding out 223 rushing yards in just over three quarters against visiting Chetopa High. The defense was even better, limiting the Hornets to 48 yards of total offense and a single first down, against a team that averaged more than 500 yards a game in 2011. The resulting 48-0 whitewash sent fans home early in the Wildcats’ seasonopener, courtesy of Kansas’ eight-man mercy rules. “I was real pleased with our defense,” Marmaton Valley head coach Kent Houk said. “We stepped up and played tough.” And while Houk was less impressed with the Wildcat offense — “We missed a few blocking assignments; we’re not where we need to

be,” he said — there were still plenty of fireworks. A safety opened the scoring in the game’s first minute, followed less than two minutes later with an 11-yard touchdown run by Cole Becker. Ryan Smith followed midway through the opening period with a four-yard touchdown scamper to lead 18-0. Becker’s three-yard plunge into the end zone pushed the margin to 26-0 at the break. Daylen Houk sandwiched 20-yard touchdown runs around a 48-yard touchdown by Becker in the second half. Houk’s second touchdown pushed the margin past 46 points, the threshold needed to end eight-man games after intermission. Becker rushed for 144 yards on 20 carries. Houk rushed eight times for 59 yards. Smith attempted only

one pass, a successful completion to Sage Hall for a two-point conversion in the first half. Lucas Hamlin led the Wildcat defense with nine tackles and two sacks. Becker and Houk added eight stops apiece. Jared Kale registered two quarterback sacks and Carlos Gonzales recovered Chetopa’s only fumble. The victory sets up what promises to be a titanic early-season clash next Friday at home against Three Rivers League foe Crest High. The Lancers opened the season Thursday by crushing Pleasanton 46-0. “It should be a good game,” Houk said.

Klein leads No. 22 Crist takes control K-State into season of Kansas offense MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The proclamation from coach Bill Snyder following No. 22 Kansas Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual spring game was hardly surprising, even though what it represented was downright historic. Senior quarterback Collin Klein would be one of four captains for the 2012 season. Klein ran for 27 touchdowns last season to break a school record set in 1969, and threw for 13 more while leading the Wildcats to a 10-3 record and a berth in the Cotton Bowl. He spent most of the season bloodied and battered, often missing every practice between games, yet never once complaining as he put together one of the finest seasons in school history. So everybody expected Klein to be a captain. But the fact that he was made a captain for the third straight year, something that had never before happened for an offensive player in school history, spoke volumes about how heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s viewed inside and outside the program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the skyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the limit for anybody. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just what you do with what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got,â&#x20AC;? Snyder said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He does a great deal with what he has.â&#x20AC;? More than anything, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Snyder has such an appreciation for him. He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the greatest throwing motion â&#x20AC;&#x201D; wide receiver Chris Harper called it â&#x20AC;&#x153;jinky,â&#x20AC;? which he described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;not what everybody typically thinks is correct.â&#x20AC;? And he certainly prefers to scramble out of the pocket than settle back and search down field. But even though Klein is just about the furthest thing from the prototypical, 21st-century quarterback, he somehow makes it work in Snyderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s modern adaptation of the veer offense. Klein had the third-most rushing attempts last season in major college football, the 317 carries trailing only Bobby Rainey of Western Kentucky and Robbie Rouse of Fresno State â&#x20AC;&#x201D; both of them running backs, guys who are supposed to be toting the ball. The quarterback with the next-most attempts was Tevin Washington of Georgia Tech, and he was 75 carries shy.

Collin Klein (7) talks over plays with a teammate before a game last season. The senior quarterback is one of four captains for the 2012 K-State Wildcats. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no wonder Klein took such a beating last season he often joked he was becoming best friends with the Kansas State training staff. Perhaps thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the biggest reason why Klein spent so much of his offseason working with Harper and the rest of his veteran wide receivers. They toiled in the blistering, 100-degree heat of the Flint Hills, running endless routes and refining Kleinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mechanics to the point where maybe â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just maybe â&#x20AC;&#x201D; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to air it out a bit more this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The growth has been across the board, and it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just been focused in one area,â&#x20AC;? Snyder said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grown in regards to his game management. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grown in regards to his understanding of our offense and defensive football. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grown in terms of leadership, in terms of his confidence level, in just his overall presence on the field, as well as the physical things, the running game and passing game as well. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen some movement, positive movement, in all those areas.â&#x20AC;? The Wildcats started to move away from a one-dimensional, run-first offense centered on their quarterback late last year, when teams began to stack the line to prevent the 6-foot5, 226-pound wrecking ball from running right at them. Klein averaged 124 yards passing over the first eight games, but nearly 184 yards in the final four games against Oklahoma State,

Texas A&M, Texas and Iowa State. The only loss was a 52-45 heartbreaker to the thenNo. 3 Cowboys on the road. The progress continued throughout the spring, and with Klein calling many of his own plays, he wound up going 47 of 56 for 480 yards and six touchdowns against the No. 2 defense in the spring game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The point man is Collin,â&#x20AC;? said Harper, the Wildcatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; leading receiver a year ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His release point is better. His mechanics are better. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jinky, but he gets the ball there.â&#x20AC;? In other words, he gets the job done. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all that really matters to the Wildcats. Klein, who was first-team All-Big 12 as an all-purpose player last season, is already on the watch list for Manning, Maxwell, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien and Unitas awards â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just about all the hardware that is handed out to a quarterback each season. But heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first to say that personal accolades donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean much to him. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather talk about the success of the Wildcats last season, and what it would mean to duplicate such success this season, a task that begins tonight against Missouri State. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A new identity needs to be carved out,â&#x20AC;? Klein said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 2011 team was amazing, it was a great run, but it was last year. It was a special group of guys, and we have a special yet different group of guys this year. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to do more great things.â&#x20AC;?

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dayne Crist took the field at practice with a play in mind, but at the last second had to change his plan. He called out an audible the team had heard of but never practiced. Crist and coach Charlie Weis crafted the play three years ago and had not touched it since, but Weis recognized it almost immediately. The play resulted in a 30-yard run down the left side, the kind of success that surprised everyone but Weis. The Jayhawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new coach called that kind of play an â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Atta boy.â&#x20AC;? When it works out, Crist gets praised. When it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, Weis asks, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What are you doing?â&#x20AC;? The fact that Crist even has the gumption to call such a play is what makes Weis beam whenever he talks about him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m flattered that I have the ability to have an arsenal,â&#x20AC;? Crist said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but I think it goes back to the relationship that we have with each other.â&#x20AC;? Weis recruited Crist to Notre Dame, and the oftdescribed quarterback guru mentored him for two years. But Weis was fired and things soured quickly for Crist under a new coaching regime, and he began to look elsewhere to play. After two season-ending knee injuries at Notre Dame, Crist decided to follow Weis to Kansas, where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping to rebuild a program not long removed from the Orange Bowl, but much more recently of the 2-10, bottom-of-the-Big 12 varieties. Both of them will get their first chance to show whether progress has been made tonight against South Dakota State. Weis has no doubt that Crist is the man for the job. He talks about his leadership ability and raw talent, not to mention the conve-

Pierson is just one of the many options Crist will have on offense, including a couple who are familiar. Tight end Mike Ragone, his former teammate at Notre Dame, took advantage of the same fifth-year transfer rule to enroll at Kansas and join the program immediately. Crist had little trouble connecting with the rest of his teammates, the holdovers from last year and the freshman class that Weis had to pull together in short order after Turner Gill was fired. That was evident when Crist was voted captain despite only being with the team for a semester. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a great honor and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very flattering that my teammates felt that way, but at the same time it is a great deal of responsibility and

INDEPENDENCE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Iola Middle Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volleyball teams opened their 2012 season on the road Thursday. The Pony eighth-grade A-team split matches. The Ponies lost to host Independence 25-19, 25-8 then notched a 25-13, 25-10 win over Coffeyville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our first game jitters got the best of us against Independence,â&#x20AC;? said Terri Carlin, IMS eighth-grade coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did some big things well but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do some little things well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our talk between matches was about hitting the ball with more power and serving harder.â&#x20AC;? Carlin made a few minor changes and that proved to be successful for the IMS eighth-grade team. She said the Ponies had more ace

serves and kills in the Coffeyville match. Against Independence, Della Lohman, Toni Macha and Alexis Heslop each had three aces on serve while Sydney Wade and Riley Murry had two aces each. At the net, Macha had three kills and Heslop two kills to lead the Ponies. Wade had two set assists. In the Coffeyville match, Murry, Heslop, Lohman and Wade had four ace serves each. Macha downed four kills and Murry had two kills. Taylor Stout and Heslop had one kill apiece. Wade made four assists. Iolaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seventh-grade volleyball A-team lost 25-16, 25-21 to Independence and dropped a 25-18, 25-23 decision to Coffeyville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first opportunity to compete and they did a great job.

itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that I really want to relish,â&#x20AC;? Crist said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to serve this team and do everything I can for this team.â&#x20AC;? This season does not come without pressure, though. Crist has yet to finish a collegiate season without an injury, and after graduating in December with a degree in management-consulting, this season represents what could be the lasting memory of his college experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This being my last year, no matter what, I think that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a different sense of urgency,â&#x20AC;? Crist said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You realize that this is all you have left. You cherish this time.â&#x20AC;? Weis has likened his connection with Crist to that of his own son, and his dedication to Cristâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success is telling of their relationship. Weis wants the Jayhawks to be successful not only for the school or himself, but also for his quarterback. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This could be a wonderful story and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to be writing it,â&#x20AC;? Weis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a very, very big fan of the young man.â&#x20AC;?

“We did a good job of getting to the ball and gang tackling.” Humboldt forced seven Northeast turnovers in the contest. Johnson and Whitcomb each recovered a fumble and picked off errant Northeast passes. Also recovering fumbles for Humboldt were Bake Crawford, Justin Meins and Dustin Prock. Humboldt limited Northeast to 166 yards of total offense. “I’m excited because now we can work on getting better for next week,” Criss said. Humboldt hosts Jayhawk-Linn next Friday.

SALE-A-BRATE

HUMBOLDT — Their play at times was as sloppy as the weather Friday. But when Humboldt High’s Cubs settled down after halftime, they were able to put some distance between them and the visiting Northeast High Vikings of Arma. The Cubs extended an 8-0 halftime lead with two second-half scores to win 22-0. The victory in Humboldt’s season-opener marks a triumphant return to the sideline for head coach K.B. Criss, who last manned the helm for the Cubs in 2005. “I’m very happy to get the win,” Criss said. “I’m proud of the kids. They played well as a team.” Humboldt narrowly missed several scoring opportunities in the first half, as the remnants of Hurricane Isaac pelted the players with a slow-to-steady drizzle and gusts of wind from every direction. Quarterback Nathan Whitcomb connected with wideout Tanner McNutt deep on the left sideline for

pass from Brice Aiello and scored a touchdown in the third quarter. The play covered 65 yards. Mason Key kicked the extra point. In the fourth period, Aiello dashed six yards into the end zone to put Iola up 13-0. The extra-point kick was blocked. “The kids played really hard and gave tons of effort, which is what we asked of them,” said Dana Daugharthy, IHS assistant coach. “We had a couple of injuries and were forced to put people in positions they had never played before.” Daugharthy said the Mustangs worked through some struggles and gave strong effort to correct things. The win was a great start to the season. Aiello rushed for 92 years on 10 carries and completed 2 of 3 passes for 71 yards. Keenan Badders had 78 years on 13 carries. Walden rushed for 25 yards on five carries and had the touchdown reception. Jake Gumfory caught one pass for six yards. Brett Taylor had six yards rushing on four carries and Terrell Smith had three yards on one carry. Defensively, Aiello and Walden each had seven tackles while Dillan Stoldt, Jordan Long and Gus Hopkins had five tackles each. Aiello made an interception. Long had two quarterback sacks and Stoldt sacked the quarterback once. The Iola junior varsity (1-0) plays at Cherryvale on Monday. Game time is 4:30 p.m.

a 74-yard touchdown pass midway through the first quarter for an 8-0 lead. They fell short, however, two other times deep in Viking territory, losing the ball on downs. A shanked punt and subsequent return to the Viking 5-yardline was negated by a personal foul penalty. “We had another long pass that we dropped,” Criss said. “We made some mistakes and left a lot of points on the board.” Humboldt’s running game, keyed by the blocking of fullback Trey Johnson, opened running lanes for tailback Jacob Carpenter, who ran for 122 yards, and a pair of 22-yard touchdown runs in the second half to cap the scoring. “I hate to make excuses, but strange things can happen when you’re dealing with a wet ball and conditions like that,” Criss said. Whitcomb connected on 5 of 17 passes for 110 yards. Carpenter added 26 yards on three receptions to go with McNutt’s 74-yard bomb. Johnson also rushed for 19 yards for the Cubs.

veyed storm damage in Louisiana and said he was tryingto draw some attention to the plight of those affected. President Barack Obama made plans for his own visit to the Gulf on Monday. And the president served notice that he will use his powers of incumbency to make Romney’s mission hard: He underscored his record as commander in chief by scheduling a visit with troops in Texas on Friday, exactly two years after de-

claring the end of the U.S. combat mission in Iraq. Fresh from the Republican National Convention, Romney met with Gov. Bobby Jindal along a highway, near several National Guard trucks. The two talked about some of the challenges facing the surrounding community, which relies on fishing for its livelihood. “I’m here to learn and obviously draw some attention” to the situation, Romney said

The dreaded words: ‘Mom’s right’ Dear Tom and Ray: During a recent visit to my home, my “wonderful” mother expanded her range of “helpful” advice-giving to the manner in which I park my car on my steeply sloped driveway. She was deeply concerned about the order in which I engage park and the emergency brake. She advised me that by placing the car in park first and then engaging the emergency brake, I am sure to ruin the transmission. Her motherly recommendation is, of course, to reverse the order, thereby saving the world. I’ve been unable to find either a confirmation or a denial regarding the proper order for my parking procedures. Would the brothers be willing to provide a final word on this matter? Thanks. – Lynnay TOM: Lynnay, we’re go-

Car Talk

Tom and Ray Magliozzi

ing to use the worst four words an adult daughter can hear: Your mother is right. RAY: Well, her instructions are right. She’s wrong about the severity of the consequences, but she is correct that the preferred parking method on a hill is to deploy the parking brake first, to hold the car in place, and then put the transmission in park, to back up the parking brake. TOM: Here’s why. Park works by using a ratcheting mechanism called the parking pawl to lock the output

shaft of the transmission. Because of the way the differential works, locking the output shaft allows the driven wheels to turn only if they move in opposite directions. So unless the car is being dragged or it slides (which ain’t easy if you’re a car), once it’s in park, it’s not going anywhere. RAY: But because of the way that ratchet system is designed, if you put the car in park and then it rolls up or down a hill a few feet, the weight of the car ends up resting on the parking pawl, pushing it in tighter than it needs to go. TOM: Will that ruin your transmission? No. But it can make it hard for you to get the car OUT of park when you go to drive away. Maybe you’ve even noticed this. RAY: This is especially true of older cars, where

these parts have started to wear out and create “slop,” or in cars that have been parked incorrectly on hills for many years — like yours! Of course, it matters only on steeper hills. TOM: By applying the parking brake first, you allow the brakes to do the job of holding the wheels in place, so the car doesn’t roll and push the park mechanism to the point where it’s difficult to remove. RAY: Then, when you drive away, you do the opposite: You take the car out of park first, and then release the parking brake. TOM: I know this is a tough blow to absorb, Lynnay. But just remember, this could be a completely isolated case of Mom being right, and have no bearing on whether she also was right about your first three husbands.

How to control leakage of urine Dear Dr. Donohue: I urinate often, and many times I can’t get to the bathroom in time. It’s embarrassing and has made me housebound. I have little warning, and when I do, I have to be quickacting. Is there treatment for this? I’m 73 years old and live by myself. — R.J. Answer: The name of the problem is “urinary incontinence,” the involuntary loss of urine. Two kinds of incontinence exist. One is stress incontinence. This is urine loss when physically active, like lifting a heavy bag of groceries, moving furniture or any such work requiring straining. It also happens on laughing, coughing or sneezing. In all these instances, pressure within the abdomen forces the urinary bladder to expel urine. I don’t think this is your kind of incontinence. Your loss of urine sounds more like urge incontinence, also called overactive bladder. Bladder muscles contract suddenly and unexpectedly, and make a person dash to the bathroom to reach the toilet promptly. Pelvic floor muscle exercises (Kegel exercises) are useful in both kinds of incontinence. To learn how to perform the exercises correctly, stop the flow of urine in midstream. The muscles you contract to do so are the ones you want to exercise. You can do the contractions sitting, standing or lying down. Perform 10 contractions in a row and hold each contraction for three to five seconds. Repeat the exercise three times a day. As time passes, increase the number of contractions to 15, and

ZITS

Dr. Paul Donohue To Your Good Health hold them for 10 seconds. It takes two or more months to obtain results. The Estring ring is a device inserted into the vagina. It releases a very low dose of estrogen and is left in place for three months. The amount of estrogen is tiny, but still warnings have to be given about the possibility of breast cancer and blood clots. Medicines tame forceful bladder contractions. Detrol LA, Sanctura, Vesicare, Enablex and Ditropan are the names of some of them. All require a doctor’s prescription. Dear Dr. Donohue: Recently I went to my doctor for a yearly checkup. Blood and urine tests were done. They told me that I had blood in my urine. What’s the cause of that? The doctor told me to have an ultrasound, but I would like to hear from you first. — M.H. Answer: Am I right in thinking you didn’t see the blood, but it was found by

examining the urine with a microscope — microscopic hematuria (urine blood)? Its causes are many. The most dangerous cause is cancer somewhere in the urinary tract. More-common causes are kidney stones, urinary tract infections (kidney or bladder), trauma and prostate gland infections and inflammation. Even heavy

exercise can cause blood to be found temporarily in the urine. Your doctor wants you to have an ultrasound so a cause can be identified and treated. If ultrasound doesn’t reveal a cause, a CT scan or inspection of the bladder with a scope are possible next steps. Have the ultrasound done right away.

A fair sampling of fans seemed to think the Irwin Tools Night Race was too much of a good thing. Bristol has been noted for bringing out the worst in drivers, but it’s also part of what has set the frantic .533-mile oval apart. Perhaps the race came across differently on television. The estimated crowd of 145,000 seemed quite pleased with the spectacle. At the behest of Speedway Motorsports CEO Bruton Smith, the top lane of the track was ground in the turns between the track’s first Sprint Cup weekend in March and the annual night race. Attendance had declined since the installation of graduated banking in 2007. The changes made passing easier, pleasing most drivers, but many fans complained, which led Smith to take rather drastic action. The latest incarnation of Bristol didn’t restore the track to its former state. It changed the nature of the single grooves, moving them up to the middle of the track and making it a disadvantage to race at the bottom. The cause of crashes — there were 13 caution flags — was more often a failed “slide job” than a bump and run, but both moves were common.

The two Cup champions clattered cars on both ends of Bristol Motor Speedway until, predictably, they wrecked. Then Stewart bounced his helmet off the hood of Kenseth’s car, which had somehow pulled away. It was all wonderfully self-destructive. Neither driver is the slightest bit repentant. NASCAR This Week’s Monte Dutton gives his take: “Stewart is within 16 points of losing his top-10 spot in the points. His three victories will put him in the Chase, but he’ll lose nine bonus points if he doesn’t make the top 10. In short, it’s time for Tony to get his head on straight.”

In The Middle Of It Ford driver Mears makes an impact on Bristol night race

By Monte Dutton

NASCAR This Week

BRISTOL, Tenn. — Casey Mears got quite a boost from the circumstances surrounding the Irwin Tools Night Race. He started on the pole. He didn’t win the pole, but he started there. It wasn’t just luck, though. When rain canceled qualifying, Mears advanced to the top of the lineup because his Ford had been fastest in practice. The Bristol Motor Speedway surface had been reworked since the Sprint Cup Series last visited on March 18. “Where they actually worked on the track (it had been ground near the tops of the turns), we actually haven’t been all the way up there yet,” Mears said before the race. “I’ve seen some guys flirting with the edge of it, so it’s really going to be hard to say. If it keeps guys from running up against the wall, I think it could make it a little bit more competitive just because, when guys are running right up against the fence, it’s really hard to pass guys down underneath.” Many didn’t expect Mears, 34, to remain at the front for long. Some didn’t expect him to lead the first lap, but

he did. In fact, Mears’ No. 13 Geico Ford, owned by Bob Germain, led the first 26 laps. He wound up finishing 21st after spinning on the 414th of 500 laps. Mears had an impact on the race. He was running 12th as late as lap 375. The Bakersfield, Calif., native was right about it being difficult to pass high. What he and others didn’t fully grasp was that it would also be difficult to pass low. While competing at Hendrick Motorsports, Mears won the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 27, 2007. He began his career with Chip Ganassi’s team, finishing a career-best 14th in the Sprint Cup points standings in 2006. He then spent two years at Hendrick and moved to Richard Childress Racing for the 2009 season. Since then, Mears has driven for Germain, Team Red Bull, Tommy Baldwin Jr. and Raymond Key. Mears comes from one of America’s great racing families. His uncle, Rick, is one of three men to win the Indianapolis 500 four times. His father, Roger, is a legend in off-road racing, which is where Casey began his career. Casey has won in NASCAR, ARCA, Grand American and Indy Lights.

First of all, we disagree with the call, too, but NASCAR officials pointed out that the start and subsequent restarts are not defined by the same rules. The race’s start is governed by when the green flag waves. Subsequent restarts are in the Sadler hands of the leader, who may accelerate at any time after he reaches a defined point coming to the flag stand. We disagree with the call. Elliott Sadler had little choice in the matter because he was being pushed by a trailing car.
