Graybeard gives locks By BOB JOHNSON bob@iolaregister.com

Smiley Walters had no second thoughts about his decision to donate a ponytail he’d cultivated the past two years to Locks of Love. Thursday afternoon Allison Henkle, a stylist at Town Square Tannery and Salon, sheared Walters, so his hair may be used in construction of a wig. “It’s something I wanted to do to help someone else,” said Walters, 65. Walters is a giver by nature. He served four years in the U.S. Air Force, including a tour of security duty in Vietnam while war raged. A diamond earring he wears may be a social statement, but his ponytail, hanging well over his collar, was done to benefit some-

one else. Nowadays, with retirement giving him the latitude, Walters spends his days visiting with friends, including daily breakfast at McDonalds. He enjoys riding a motorcycle, but usually goes about town in his truck, the one with a license plate bearing “Smiley” on the front. He picked up the nickname in high school for his easy-going nature, which hasn’t changed through the years. LOCKS OF LOVE was a forprofit retailer until it attained charity status in December 2007. Hair donated is made into wigs. If there is a problem, such as the specimen being too short or havSee SMILEY | Page A4

The United for Excellence campaign to raise funds to buy equipment for the new hospital gave an update on its efforts Thursday night at the Allen County Country Club.

Campaign gains momentum By SUSAN LYNN susan@iolaregister.com

About $1.6 million has been raised to help buy new equipment for the new Allen County Hospital, said Jim Gilpin, chairman of the United for Excellence campaign. “That’s one-third of our goal,” Gilpin said to a crowd gathered at Allen County Country Club Thursday evening to celebrate fundraising progress. Almost $5 million is needed to make every wish come true, including the purchase of an MRI machine, a more sophisticated CT scanner, new patient beds,

and other things. The hospital will set itself apart from area competition with the purchase of a 64-slice CT machine, said Cris Rivera, chief executive officer of ACH. The $732,000 machine has the ability to create more detailed images of a person’s internal organs, said David Paul, director of imaging at the hospital. Paul suggested using the image of a sliced loaf of bread as to how a CT scanner works. “If you have 15 slices, you’re missing a ton of what you can see. If you have 64 slices, varied in width, you then have the abil-

ACC board takes deep breath, looks to future By ALLISON TINN allison@iolaregister.com

With enrollment and census day behind them, Allen Community College (ACC) board members are taking a deep breath. However, the time for relaxation is short-lived. At Thursday night’s board meeting the focus was on the future. “We are looking to the future, long range,” president John Masterson said. A key element to moving forward is having a plan. The performance agreement for 20132015 was presented. The areas the college will need to enhance within those dates are: • Increase credit hours completed in online learning. • Improve graduation, plus transfer-out rate for full-time

cohorts. • Improve the percentage of students who complete the initial college level writing course with a C or better. • Increase the number of students awarded an Associates Science degree. • Improve the percentage of students who complete the initial 17 KRSN identified nurses with a C or better. • Increase fall-to-fall retention rate for full-time students. • Increase total number of articulation or 2+2 agreements with Kansas Regents universities. “I am definitely confident in the last one and the first one,” Masterson said. “And we only need four out of the seven.” See ACC | Page A4

ity to reconstruct the images into a three-dimensional format through a software program, giving you amazing detail. “The heart is the most challenging organ to get a good picture of because it is constantly in motion — at least we want it to be,” he said with a smile. “Motion is one of the enemies of imaging. The faster you can scan, the greater imaging capabilities you’ll receive.” With the purchase of a $1.1 million MRI machine, the hospital will be able to provide those See HOSPITAL | Page A4

Tailgate fest pushed up to next Friday A tailgate party, originally set for this afternoon to help kick off U.S. Cellular’s Calling All Communities campaign has been pushed back until Friday. A schedule will be announced soon, organizers said. U.S. Cellular is providing up to $150,000 to the school that receives the most votes. Seventeen others will receive $50,000.

The three Allen County school districts — Iola USD 257, Humboldt USD 258 and Marmaton Valley USD 256 — have agreed to pool their efforts and split any possible winnings equally. Thus, a vote for Iola Middle School is considered a vote for all three districts. Votes can be cast by picking up entry codes at the U.S. Cellular office at 700 N. State St. Unlike last year, each voter may cast only one vote. Vol. 114, No. 225

Labor Day guests of Mel and Linda Guenther were their daughter, Chris Boynton, Dallas, granddaughter, Kendra Davis and family, Bartlesville, Okla., Stacey and Eric Griffin, Dallas, and John Griffin, Lawrence.

Age-to-age preschool successes shared Thirty of Iola’s preschool students spend half a day five days a week at Windsor Place with their “grandparents” in the ageto-age program USD 257 conducts with the cooperation of Windsor Place residents and staff. Superintendent of Schools Brian Pekarek explained to Iola Rotarians Thursday how the innovative program has helped the students and

Windsor Place residents, using pictures and text he will present to the Kansas Board of Education at its next meeting. Pekarek said children refer to the residents as “Grandma and Granddad,” appending their first names to the title, as “Grandma Mary,” “Granddad John.” The residents enjoy the children, play with them and are invigorated, he said.

Misc. Clarification

A news item in Wednesday’s Moran correspondence report from Cheryl Wallis reported the deaths of Lloyd “Stretch” Vast-

erling and Colleen Lincicome. Both died in June. The timing of their deaths was incorrect in the newspaper.

Dane is tallest dog OTSEGO, Mich. (AP) — A Great Dane from Michigan is doggone tall. The Guinness World Records 2013 book published Thursday recognizes Zeus of Otsego, Mich., as the world’s Tallest Dog. The 3-year-old measures 44 inches from foot to shoulder. Standing on his hind

legs, Zeus stretches to 7-foot-4 and towers over his owner, Denise Doorlag. Zeus is just an inch taller than the previous recordholder, Giant George. Zeus weighs 155 pounds and eats a 30-pound bag of food every two weeks. Doorlag says she had to get a van to be able to transport Zeus.

The children, for their part, learn to appreciate the elderly residents and readily accept their limitations. Research done by Kansas State University and the University of Kansas has demonstrated that the age-to-age experiment has had positive results for both the elderly and the young. The students appear to be learning faster and the residents who interact with the children show improvements in energy and interest in living. The program, Pekarek told the service club mem-

bers, is among the things which has brought statewide attention to USD 257. Among the other unique assets the district provides to its students are the programs for students at the Bowlus Fine Arts Center, funded primarily by the Sleeper Family Trust, the use of the Bowlus Center for music and drama students and the SAFE BASE after-school program. Pekarek, a member of the club, was introduced by the club president, Neil Westervelt.

Follow this trail for economic development We work on economic development every day at the Iola Area Chamber of Commerce. Sometimes it helps directly; other times it’s more subtle. A recent conversation I had via Facebook dealt with the effects of Kansas opting out of a program that provided federal funding for recreational trails. I noted that we receive calls and emails at least once a week from someone wanting to learn more about the Prairie Spirit Trail. My questioner said the trail does not create “new jobs.” I beg to differ. It is said that every dollar spent locally turns over seven times. Think about it: If one cyclist comes to town for the weekend, he spends money on lodging, food and shopping, and perhaps a show at the Bowlus Fine Arts Center. That’s a pretty good return on a little time and perhaps some postage that we spent to send a brochure about area activities. And yes, that really does happen weekly. On a regular basis, we send out packets featuring the Bowlus, the Molly Trolley, Prairie Spirit Trail, flea markets and boutiques and much more. To put it in perspective we have something here that people want to experience. And yes, that interest promotes economic growth. FOR THE PAST 20 years, I have worked with the Kansas Economic Development Alliance,

Shelia Lampe Chamber Musings Southeast Kansas, Inc.’s economic development program, and the past 10 years the QUAD Enterprise program, which works with entrepreneurs. Some of the programs are traditional in nature; others are more contemporary. All have varying levels of impact. One goal is to stabilize communities, which hinges on creating new jobs and maintaining growth of existing businesses. So what constitutes economic development? Is it the traditional manufacturing institutes? Is it retail? Tourism? I have found it’s a combination of all. Large manufacturers employ a large work force, which in turn helps with the region and keeps payroll in the area. Small industries, including farming, are the backbone of our economy. They employ fewer people but tend to grow at a steady pace and usually have closer ties to the community. Retail caters to local and out-of-town shoppers. The hospitality industry (restaurants, museums, entertainment, recreation, motels) provides essential services for everyone. In essence, it takes industry, retail and recreational opportunities to keep a community thriving. We have it all.

imaging services in-house, also setting it apart from other area hospitals. Currently, a mobile MRI service visits the hospital several times a week. GIFTS HAVE come in the form of outright cash, as well as stock, land and life insurance policies. A recent program that gave a tax rebate for up to 70 percent of gifts was overwhelmingly successful, said Karen Gilpin, a United for Excellence member. Organizers had up to 18

months to gather $190,000 in gifts. “We did it in seven days,” Gilpin said. The program was through the Kansas Department of Commerce. The size of gifts also comes with naming opportunities, said Karen Gilpin. She and Mary Ann Arnott used a layout of the new hospital to show what rooms and areas could be named for individuals. The entire hospital campus, for example, can be named for an individual for a gift of $1 million or more. Football great Peyton

Manning, for example, has a hospital in Indianapolis renamed Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St. Vincent. In Dallas, the University of Texas’ Southwestern Medical Center will be named the William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital, after its former governor. Other naming opportunities exist for the lobby, surgery areas, waiting rooms, nursery, patient rooms, and many other sites. Gifts to the campaign are tax-deductible.

Continued from A1 ALONG WITH achieving the goals outlined in the performance agenda, the college will be looking to increase housing, according to Masterson. “For us to grow this campus we will have to increase housing,” he said. Expansion would not only affect the college, but the community as well. “The college plays an integral role in our community,” as well as that of Bur-

lingame’s, said Neal Barclay, trustees chairman. Masterson said he will be meeting with firms to map out what would be expected in regard of a timeline and costs of more housing. Just this year the college completed a new sixplex that accommodates 24 students. THE BOARD also approved procedures along with speaking of upcoming events.

Due to the Clery Act, a federal law requiring colleges and universities across the United States to disclose information about crime on and around their campuses, vice president for student affairs Cynthia Jacobson presented an emergency procedures draft. The procedure will ensure that in case of a major emergency, students, faculty and staff will be notified via mass emails and text messages.

Man drops challenge to Obama TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Kansas man says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dropping his objection to President Barack Obama being listed on the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s November ballot. Manhattan resident Joe Montgomery told the secretary of stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office by email Friday that he and people around him have faced what he called â&#x20AC;&#x153;ani-

mosityâ&#x20AC;? over his challenge to Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inclusion on the ballot. Montgomeryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans to drop his objection were first reported Friday by The Manhattan Mercury. Montgomery argues Obama is not eligible to serve as president. The State Objections Board reviewed Montgom-

eryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arguments Thursday but postponed a decision, saying it needed more information. The board is made up of the secretary of state, the attorney general and the lieutenant governor. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t immediately clear whether the board would convene again Monday as planned.

Raida Construction, Thayer, employees Larry Raida, left, and Randy Raida do the hands-on work of apportioning and prepping the new pour for finish. The building is owned by Steve and Adelina Holloway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The old drive was poured in 1982 and was getting pretty broken up,â&#x20AC;? said Steve Holloway.

T he fam ily of P eggy S igg wishes to thank all of you for the acts of kindness and over-

whelming support shown to our family during our Peggyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final days with us, and since her passing. It has given us strength beyond measure. The food, floral tributes, cards, prayers, mass requests, and memorial donations have touched our hearts and raised up our family. All of you who took time to attend the rosary, visitation and mass have shared hugs, tears and words of comfort with us that will strengthen us in the hours, days, and months ahead.

We wish to thank Fr. Miller, Fr. Gorges, Fr. Kerschen, and Deacon Stahl for their comforting words and gift of speech; you all were amazing. And all of those who participated in the funeral mass with their gifts of music and service; it will remain in our minds and hearts forever. Thanks to Bishop Jackels for personally coming to our home to pray with Peggy and our family.

Thanks to those who prepared the meal and served our family and friends; you have our utmost gratitude for sharing your time and talents. To Dr. Spears for always being there; you truly cared about Peggy and we thank you. A special thank you to Delbert Nelson, Robbie Nelson, Rick Nelson, RJ Helms, Mark Wade, Kevin Pargman, Tyler Pargman, Scott Mueller, Scott Hines, Jaison Rich, and Robert Stufflebeam for their amazing work in preparing Pegâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s burial spot at our home. What an amazing job they did. To Connie Wolken, Steve Stanley, Hazel Robb, Billie Collins and all of you who were there for us â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have made it without you. We believe that such a tremendous outpouring of love and comfort could only come from a small community such as ours. Thank you seems so inadequate, so we share with you a few lines from one of Peggyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite songs.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;My Wishâ&#x20AC;? My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to, Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small, You never need to carry more than you can hold, And while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out there getting where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting to, I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too, Yeah, this, is my wish.

Opinion

Market upswing says a lot about Obama’s chances Thursday the Federal Reserve said it would begin buying $40 billion worth of mortgage secured bonds each month until the unemployment rate fell and the economy showed a more vigorous recovery. At the news the stock market soared back to 2007 levels. Stock market rises are fueled by people with money; that top 1 percent that both President Obama and candidate Mitt Romney represent. (Romney in spades.) The Dow Jones Index has been rising all year. It is reasonable to suppose that rich people are buying stocks because they believe the economy is recovering and will continue to do so. Increased investments in the U.S. economy are the most meaningful, most sincere, statements of confidence that rich people can make. But there seems to be a disconnect here. The rich people and monied institutions that are investing more and more

in securities are all very much aware that President Barack Obama will continue to advocate a return to Clinton-level taxes on the wealthy if he is re-elected. They also know that a rising stock market signals economic growth. If the economy continues to grow and employment picks up, the president stands a better chance of re-election. So what gives? Are the rich deliberately working against their own best interests by bolstering the economy? Or, just maybe, do they remember that when the income tax rate was a little higher that the federal budget was balanced, unemployment was much lower and prospects for the nation were far brighter? Perhaps they concluded that betting on America by purchasing stock in American industry was wiser than playing negative politics with their dollars. Just a thought. — Emerson Lynn, jr.

Transportation pot more of a slush fund Here’s an opportunity that pro-active citizens should seize. The Kansas Department of Transportation will hold eight meetings across the state to discuss road projects and solicit comments about the way transportation dollars are being spent. The closest will be in Chanute on Oct. 3. Those who think that transportation dollars should be spent on transportation projects should attend and say so. The last grab of KDOT dollars for non-transportation purposes was made by the Legislature, and agreed to by Gov. Sam Brownback, just a few weeks ago. Then, as I recall, about $6 million was snitched from KDOT to spend on another phase of the remodeling of the state capitol building. That was just a drop in a bucketful of dollars lawmakers

have taken from money raised through the tax on highway fuels and dedicated sales tax revenue for KDOT over the past four years. Taking tax money Kansans, in their innocence, thought they were paying to build and maintain bridges, highways and airports and spending it as general fund money is cheating. KDOT’s executives know it is cheating but can’t say so because they are hired by the administration and paid by the Legislature. So it will help them a lot if a bunch of voters/ citizens attend these public meetings and go on record as telling the Legislature and the governor to stop using KDOT money as a slush fund they can tap for whatever purpose. Stay tuned. The time and place will be announced when available. — Emerson Lynn

Thought for the Day

Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.

Backroom politics leaves no room for trust I’m not sure who had more to learn from the ruling favorable to Gov. Brownback and state legislators for essentially discussing government business under the guise of seven cocktail parties and dinners hosted at the governor’s mansion, Cedarbrook. Legislators perhaps learned it creates a publicity nightmare to have their ignorance of the Kansas Open Meetings Act splayed across front pages of the state’s newspapers. The act prohibits the majority of a legislative body from meeting behind closed doors to discuss matters pertaining to the body. Here in Allen County, that means that a majority of a city council or county commission, for example, can not talk “business” without letting the public know it is doing so and have the meeting open to all. Many of the legislators said the dinners didn’t “feel” like meet-

Dear editor,

As long as there are those who would take a stick and stir up a hornet’s nest, we will always have wars and rumors of wars. No denomination or religion has “all” the truth. The truth is like a cut diamond, with many facets, but still a diamond. If people could see that, we would have a more peaceful world. Rather, some are determined to “have it all,” whether it’s money

and bottom fish, hoping for a big bullhead. Sometimes one came along, but it really didn’t matter. If I’d have had the literary experience, I might have envisioned myself as Thoreau, with Coal Creek my Walden. Now and then a snake would weave its way in the tepid water; turtles climbed onto logs protruding from watery graves to doze in the sun; now and again a bullfrog would let loose with a throaty call. Fishing may have been my purpose, but adventure soon took over. I’d meander downstream half

ings because food was served. Others said the social atmosphere made them feel as if they were at a series of parties, even though they admitted that Brownback led discussions on specific issues and policies. THE LESSON to the public, unfortunately, is that it must be constantly vigilant in calling for transparency when it comes to government business. A good city or county attorney protects his council members from abuses of the law by warning them of their responsibilities

Letters to the editor

— Author unknown

A few weeks ago I mentioned to Iola artist Steve Greenwall a place on Coal Creek east of Humboldt he might want to visit. He did, and intends to use what he saw as subjects for pastel paintings. He went to where a concrete low-water bridge crosses the creek at the base of a small hill, rising on the east side. They’re called low-water bridges, by the way, because they’re impassable when heavy rain falls. That part of Coal Creek is a perfect site for kids looking for a summer retreat. Occasionally I’d walk to the creek, with a sack lunch Mom made, toting fishing pole and worms sweltering in a tin can. I usually picked my way through a brushy thicket upstream from the bridge and fished near where Slacker’s Branch intersects. Perch congregated within seconds after the first tasty worm plopped into the water. When I’d had my fill of toying with them, I’d remove the cork

Susan Lynn

under the open meetings act. I always appreciate Alan Weber’s advice to hospital board members of what constitutes a violation of KOMA. Weber is county counselor and serves the same role to county commissioners. And while it may seem a hindrance to “getting things done,” the upshot is that decisions made in public are more readily acceptable by the public. When we can track how decisions are made, and appreciate how difficult some decisions might be, then the better we can accept the outcomes. City councils, county commissions, college trustees — any body that deals with public funds — has an obligation to taxpayers that their dealings are for all to see. Backroom politics can be dirty business. If our representatives want clean reputations, there are no better cleansers than open meetings, well advertised.

a mile to where water gurgled along in a long riffle. I’d look for muskrat “sign” — telltale gnawing on roots and tracks of webbed feet in soft mud. Flipping over a few rocks put crawdads at risk; once in a great while I’d find a hellgrammite, before it sprouted wings. The riffle was easy to cross and a few yards up a draw, a vein of coal was amazing to a 10-year-old kid. Squirrels skipping high in oak treetops fascinated me with their acrobatics. When the sun started to get a little low in the west, that was the signal it was time to head home. But, not before a stop on the hill near the low-water bridge to imbibe a swig of spring water trickling from the shale with a glass that someone years before had left in a little notch. Then came the walk home, sometimes interrupted when a vehicle slowed and its driver growled: “You Ed’s boy?” On positive reply, a ride was offered.

or truth. Only one person claimed to be the truth and the light, and it’s not us poor, ignorant mortals who love the attention of controversy as illustrated by those who made the film to stir up the Muslims and cause the death of our ambassador to Libya. Sincerely, Jim Brownrigg, Iola, Kan. Dear editor,

If you care about your grandmother’s life and health care in the future — vote for Obama. If you care about your neighbor being able to keep his job and not losing it to communist China — vote for Obama. If you care about America — vote for Obama. This Republican is going to vote for Obama, not because I like him, but because America needs him now more than ever. The Republican Party is filled with terrorists that are going to destroy America. They have been at it for 40 years! It is more important to stop

these terrorists now. I live in an area of people who will vote Republican, right or wrong, because Grandpa was a Republican, Papa and Mama, too, so they always vote Republican, no matter what. In my family, we vote for the person, not the party, even though we were listed as Republicans. We have been known to vote Republican in the primary, then by November, vote for the Democrat because the Democrat was a better choice. This time around, my family is voting for Obama, to save America. Thank you, B. Curry, Kincaid, Kan. Dear editor,

The citizens of the county that want the ambulance to be run by the county had better be talking to their county commissioners, old and new ones. Thank you, Chuck Richey, Iola, Kan.

Golden Tornado rolls past Mustangs By JOCELYN SHEETS jocelyn@iolaregister.com

COFFEYVILLE — Iola High’s Mustangs best defense Friday night was its offense. The Mustangs held onto the football for most of the nonleague game against fifth-ranked Coffeyville Field Kindley High’s Golden Tornado. They just couldn’t get into the end zone early enough. The Golden Tornado was held to 33 yards of offense in the first half. It still led Iola 14-0 at halftime on a punt return and a 68yard yard fumble return. Iola stuck to its game plan — slow the pace down and keep the ball out of the hands of Coffeyville’s high-power offense. It worked until the third quarter. Coffeyville scored three times on offense on drives of two plays, four plays and one play. The Golden Tornado finished up with a 40-20 win over the visiting Mustangs. “We looked so good moving up and down the field. Our pace really affect them a lot. We just didn’t finish drives in the first half,” said Doug Kerr, Iola head coach. “They got frustrated with the pace and that was the idea. You saw how explosive their offense was and we needed to keep control of the football.” The Mustangs grounded out 280 yards rushing the football against the Golden Tornado. Iola had 336 total yards of offense to Coffeyville’s 236 yard. Iola’s defense came up with five fumble recovers. The Mustangs lost three of five fumbles of their own in a constant rain during the entire game. “We were in position to make plays defensively on their offensive touchdowns but their (Coffeyville) is good. They are a good football team,” Kerr said. “One thing we have to keep working on is when we make a mistake not to allow it to grow into two mistakes and so on.” To open the second half, Iola kicked off to Coffeyville but an onsides kick backfired on the

Two plays later Wesley Collins was in the end zone for Coffeyville. Iola’s offense was three plays and punt. The Mustangs held the Golden Tornado at the Iola 35 but on fourth down Coffeyville struck again. A screen pass from Luis Grossi to Collins went for a 41yard touchdown play. Following an interception of an Iola pass, Grossi connected with Newton for a 71-yard touchdown pass play.

The Mustangs came right back after trading fumbles with Coffeyville and marched down the field. Iola used its “bull” offense most of the time with Kaden Macha picking up chunks of yards on runs. A 16-yard pass from Mason Coons to Adam Kauth set up a two-yard touchdown run by Macha at the 6:20 mark of the fourth quarter. Isaias Macias kicked the extra point. Coffeyville got a 50-yard touchdown run by LaDarrius Johnson on its next possession. The Coffeyville offense would not have

Whitworth and Jacob Rhoads, who had 89 yards on 18 carries, paced the Mustangs down the field. Coons went right up the middle for the final six yards to score for Iola with 1:28 left. It was 40-13.

PARSONS — Marvin Smith has been called many things as a coach and teacher. Did you know he had quilting skills as well? “Team medals were given to the top three teams and we dang near got in with our patched together varsity,” Smith said of the Iola High Mustang cross country team. Smith said Iola’s boys are hampered by injuries and other activities taking runners away. In Thursday’s Parsons High Invitational at Big Hill Reservoir, the Mustang head coach had to piece together a varsity “quilt” to compete.

All-comers race 3:45 p.m. followed by high school races starting at 4 p.m. season’s first two meets, out with a knee injury, Trent Latta and Tyler Powelson stepped up and ran well to lead the Mustang varsity. “Trent and Tyler ran in the top 10 for almost the entire race. We have been a little depressed this week with all of our misfortune happening to our varsity,” Smith said. With 15 medals on the line, Latta earned the sixth-place medal in 18 minutes, 15 seconds in the 5K race. Powelson garnered seventh place in 18:25. Blaine Klubek, back from a

two-week lay off because of knee problems, finished 20th in 19:50 and Michael Wilson was 22nd in 19:53. Bryan Mueller, who was back from a hip injury, finished 53rd in 21:39 and Jonathan Tidd was 63rd in 22:14. The Mustangs ended up fourth as a team with 84 points. Labette County won with 29 points followed by Anderson County with 72 points and Girard with 78 points. Kohl Endicott is out with a broken arm. Jordan Strickler and Zach St. Clair missed the meet be-

cause of commitments to a community theater production. Freshman Abigail Taylor was a little lonely in the varsity girls’ race for Iola. Jo Lohman, the only other Fillies’ team member to run varsity, was out with a leg injury. Taylor captured the 15th-place medal, running the 4K race in 17:35. Smith said she ran anywhere from sixth to 15th during the race. “It was nice to avoid the heat but it was very windy. We still have not had a good day to run this season,” Smith said. Shannon Vogel led the Fillies’ junior varsity, finishing 20th in 20:59. Klair Vogel was 51st in 25:53 and Courtney Smith placed 53rd in 26:39. See BIG HILL | B3

The IMS eighth-grade A-team and visiting Pittsburg Community Middle School’s Purple Dragons went three sets. Pittsburg won 25-18, 18-25, 15-12. “We lost a heartbreaker. Pittsburg had some great servers and hitters. We did a pretty good job passing the ball,” said Terri Carlin, IMS eighth-grade coach. Carlin said after losing the first set, the Ponies did a great job to win the second set. She said the Ponies just couldn’t manage to finish in the end. See VOLLEYBALL | B4

Hammond and Lancers hammer the Eagles By RICHARD LUKEN richard@iolaregister.com

COLONY — Crest High standout Kyle Hammond has had several shining moments on the football field. The 6-2, 205-pound senior registered what may be one of the best all-around games in area high school history. Hammond rushed for 300 yards and five touchdowns, completed 13 of 16 passes and another score and racked up 22 tackles on defense in the Lancers’ 58-24 thrashing of visiting Uniontown High. The victory lifts Crest to 2-1 on the season. The victory was key, Lancer head coach Brent Smith said, because it showed the Lancers weren’t in the mood for moping after losing a nail-biter a week earlier to rival Marmaton Valley. “The guys could have taken a step back from last week, but they didn’t do that,” Smith said. Hammond made sure of that from the start. He scored on runs of 22, three, 29 and 65 yards — all before the midpoint of the

Crest High’s Kyle Hammond (20) tackles Uniontown High ball carrier John Reed (44) in the first half of Crest’s 58-24 win. Hammond racked up 22 tackles, while rushing for 300 yards and completing 13 of 16 passes on offense in the Lancer victory. second quarter — as Crest zoomed to a 30-0 lead.

Crest’s defense, meanwhile, nullified a Union-

town drive early in the second period, stopping an

Eagle runner just inches from the goal line on fourth down. Hammond’s 65-yard jaunt capped the ensuing five-play, 79-yard drive. Skyler Riley’s three-yard run with 2:41 left in the half put the Eagles on the board, but that score was answered by Hammond, who tossed a 19-yard touchdown pass to Brock Ellis with 1:07 left. Jordan Morton got into the act in the third quarter, scoring on runs of nine and 31 yards for the Lancers before Hammond put the finishing touches on his memorable night with an eight-yard scoring run with 9:35 left in the game. Dakota Wiley scored on a three-yard touchdown run and Garrett Murrow plunged in from one yard out late in the game for Uniontown. Morton racked up 49 yards on three rushes and had 88 yards on four catches for the Lancers. Ellis added 78 yards receiving on seven catches. Clayton Miller had 13 tackles for Crest, including two for losses. Morton had 12 stops and an interception. Ellis racked up nine tackles. Eleven of

Hammond’s 22 tackles were unassisted. Crest piled up 545 yards of total offense on the night, never punted and was called for nary a penalty. “I’m happy with the energy these young men had tonight,” Smith said. “They showed what we’re capable of doing. Our seniors are all about doing what’s best for the team, and we had a great crowd show up to support us.” The Lancers travel to St. Paul next Friday.

contests, including last week’s come-from-behind 46-42 win over Crest, Marmaton Valley did much of its damage on the ground. The Wildcats racked up 305 rushing yards. Wildcat head coach Kent Houk chuckled at a recent Register description of his team’s running attack — we called it a “juggernaut.” “Tonight, both of our running backs were juggernauts,” Houk said. No single run typified

Marmaton Valley’s ground dominance as much as Daylen Houk’s 50-yard touchdown run late in the first half, in which he broke five tackles en route to the end zone. Houk, who also scored on runs of one and 41 yards in the contest, wound up with 163 yards on eight carries. Cole Becker rushed 15 times for 100 yards, including touchdown runs of nine, two and 30 yards. Becker’s 30-yard jaunt with 9:35 left

in the fourth quarter ended the game, via Kansas’ eightman mercy rule. Ryan Smith accounted for Marmaton Valley’s other two scores, running in a 24-yard touchdown in the first quarter and opening the second half with a 26-yard touchdown pass to Sage Hall. Smith rushed for 38 yards and passed for 41 more, completing 2 of 3 passes. Houk had the other reception for Marmaton Valley,

covering 15 yards. Becker led the way on defense with 14 tackles, followed by Carlos Gonzales with 10 and Daylen Houk and Nathan Smart with eight apiece. “We’ve started out flat the last couple of weeks so we changed the way we prepared,” Coach Houk said. “We put together a nice drive to start the game. The interior of our offensive line did a good job and our backs were hitting the hole

Iola Middle School’s eighth-grade Ponies dominated Labette County Middle School’s Grizzlies Thursday night to the tune of 34-0. The IMS seventh-grade football team had to fight to the final minute to claim a 22-18 win. Nate Evans had a monster game for the IMS eighth-grade team. Evans rushed for 181 yards on 20 carries and scored three touchdowns. Ethan Scheibmeir had 43 yards on 11 carries. Scheibmeir had a touchdown called back on a penalty by the Ponies. A few plays later he bulled his way over the goal line from two yards out. A two-point conversion pass from Ben Cooper to Garrett Wade had Iola up 8-0 with 1:26 left in the first quarter. Iola scored 20 points in the second quarter on its way to a 28-0 halftime lead. Chase Regehr hauled in a nine-yard touchdown pass from Cooper at the 6:30 mark. Cooper was 4 of 7 passing for 48 yards on the night. Regehr caught three passes for 45 yards. Evans scored on runs of 17 yards and 20 yards in the last three minutes of the second period. Mason Snavely had a two-point conversion run after the second touchdown. In the third quarter, Evans had a five-yard touchdown run. “It was a very good effort from these kids. They controlled the game from start to finish. Nate ran like a running back tonight,” said Marty Taylor, IMS head coach. Regehr and Seth Sanford each had six tackles. Evans made five stops while Scheibmeir and Gage Cleaver had four tackles

each. Wade made two interceptions. Iola’s seventh-grade team was down 12-8 at halftime. A one-yard quarterback run by Evan Sigg tied the game at 6-6. Sigg connected with Ethan Holloway for the two-point conversion. That was with 6:05 left in the second quarter. Labette County took the lead on a 44-yard pass play. The Ponies came out and drove down the field for the go-ahead score in the third quarter. Sigg had another one-yard run. The Ponies stopped the Grizzlies and took control of the football in the fourth quarter. Iola was driving and protecting its two-point lead, 14-12. Labette County recovered an Iola fumble at the Grizzlies’ 19-yard line. Iola’s defenders jarred the football loose from quarterback Tanner Russell. Iola’s Isaac Vink scooped up the football and raced 20 yards for a touchdown. Kale Barnhart had a twopoint conversion run. Russell cut the margin to four points when he ran

the ensuing kickoff back 65 yards for a touchdown. Iola denied a two-point pass play by Labette County Labette County recovered the onside kick. But Iola’s defense held fast. The Ponies brought down Russell on a long fourth-down play with less than a minute remaining in the game. “These kids fought through a couple of big play mistakes but when it counted they got tough and came through,” Taylor said. Barnhart led the rushing attack for Iola with 96 yards on 20 carries. Sigg had 42 yards on nine carries and was 4 of 6 passing for 51 yards. Holloway caught all the passes. Nick Peterson made six tackles while Matt Komma and Nick Vaughn each had five tackles. Matt Miller and Holloway had three stops apiece. “Kale ran hard all night long and Nick Peterson was great on defense,” Taylor said. Iola’s teams go to Chanute next Thursday to take on the Royster Middle School Rockets.

a lot harder than they had been. “Our defense was really clicking tonight, too,” he continued. “We had four or five guys in on several tackles. The guys were really flying to the ball.” Marmaton Valley hits the road for the first time in 2012 next Friday when it travels to Elk Valley.

Hubert helping to carry KU out to prove it’s not a load for No. 16 K-State case of same ’ol Jayhawks MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — When John Hubert scored on a 95-yard run in No. 15 Kansas State’s season opener, nobody could blame him for cherishing the moment. He doesn’t get there all that often. The 5-foot-7 running back ran for 970 yards last season, but he rarely reached the end zone — hallowed ground belonging to quarterback Collin Klein, the quarterback-turnedbattering ram who racked up 27 touchdowns rushing during the Wildcats’ 10-win season. “We give John a lot of grief,” tight end Travis Tannahill said with a laugh. “He always runs the ball and always gets pushed out at the two or the one, and then, oh, let Collin get another QB sneak.’ He gets quite a bit of grief for that.” Even in postgame news conferences, the scrum of TV cameras usually disbands from Hubert the moment that Klein steps to the podium. Hubert is left with his hands in his pockets, talking to a few reporters straggling behind the rest of the pack. “I set my goal to get a thousand yards,” Hubert said after the Miami game last weekend, never mentioning anything about scoring touchdowns. “That’s what I’m going to do.” Kansas State’s red-zone scoring formula was on display again last Saturday, when Klein scored three touchdowns rushing — two of them from a yard out — in a 52-13 romp over the Hurricanes. Getting the Wildcats to that point, however, fell on the shoulders of Hubert. While words like “shifty” and “elusive” tend to describe running backs of a similar stature, that’s not necessarily the case with the Wildcats’ junior ball

John Hubert

carrier. Many of his yards come after first contact, and it’s not uncommon for several defenders to gang up in bringing him down. Last season, Hubert had three 100-yard rushing games, and he already has two this season: He ran for 152 yards in the opener against Missouri State, highlighted by the secondlongest run in school history, and went for 106 yards against the Hurricanes. He’ll try to make it three straight tonight against North Texas. “He never stops,” Klein said. “He runs extremely hard. Sometimes he’ll bounce off two or three people and just keep motoring right along. He will punish you.” Sounds a lot like Klein, too. Watching Hubert battle through much bigger players, powerful legs churning furiously, often inspires his teammates. Wide receiver Curry Sexton compared the momentum generated from Hubert’s carries to the adrenaline infusion the team experiences when de-

fensive players get sacks. “When you see John out there, running a guy over, stiff-arming a guy, that gets the team going a lot,” Sexton said. “John’s not a big guy, but he runs big. When you see John run a guy over who’s twice his size that kind of gets the team’s juices flowing.” Hubert wasn’t hotly recruited out of Waco, Texas. He showed up simply trying to make a name for himself, and wound up earning the starting job last season over Bryce Brown, the heavily touted Tennessee transfer who eventually left the program. Now, even though Angelo Pease gets the occasional carry, Hubert is clearly the No. 1 running back, even if he’s not always the No. 1 option in the running game. “The coaches have a lot of faith in him,” Tannahill said. “Since he got here he’s just been putting confidence in the coaches’ eyes. They’re the ones who make the call and obviously they see something in him that they don’t from the other guys.” Sitting in on running back meetings with co-offensive coordinator Dana Dimel, Tannahill has observed some of the finer points of evaluating performance, and has noticed Hubert’s adeptness at reading keys and recognizing what defenses are trying to do. More than anything, that awareness is what coach Bill Snyder said make Hubert special. “Everybody likes to score touchdowns, but I don’t think that’s the most significant thing for him,” Snyder said. “He’s a family member, so to speak, like Collin, and again cares about how the team does and just wants to contribute the best that he can, and I appreciate that, too.”

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — New coach, new quarterback, new attitude — and the same kind of early season loss to a middling opponent that got Turner Gill fired last season. Now, it’s up to Charlie Weis, Dayne Crist and everyone else in the Kansas program to prove these aren’t the same ‘ol Jayhawks — that their lategame collapse last Saturday against Rice isn’t a precursor of struggles yet to come, beginning this weekend against Big 12 newcomer TCU. “I don’t think that mentality has resonated within the team,” said Crist, the quarterback who transferred in from Notre Dame to play his final season with Weis. “I think the football culture has changed from what it was,” Crist said Tuesday. “We’re sitting here 1-1. It’s not the end of the season. We’re incredibly upset that we didn’t get that last game, but we’ve moved on. We’re on to the next one.” The problem for Kansas is the next one isn’t any easier. No. 16 TCU (1-0) comes in today for its first true Big 12 game having made a mockery in recent years of teams from the same league. Among its victims: Oklahoma, Baylor, Texas Tech and Iowa State. After that, the path doesn’t get a whole lot better. The Jayhawks visit Northern Illinois for their only non-conference road game, and then dive back into Big 12 play against 15th-ranked Kansas State, which has beaten Kansas by a combined 116-28 over the past two seasons. “We’ve got 10 left and that’s all we’re promised,” Crist said. “We’re excited to get out there against TCU, because that’s all that matters this week.” Still, Crist acknowledged

The Iola cross country meet has moved to the Allen Community College campus this season. There will be an all-comers race for all ages at 3:45 p.m. High school races start at 4 p.m. with the freshmen, followed by junior varsities

then varsity races. The Register was contacted by coaches from Marmaton Valley and Yates Center. Parsons had trouble with results and had not sent the official results to those schools as of Friday morning. Results for Marmaton Valley and Yates Center will be in Monday’s Register. Humboldt and Crest runners also competed in the Parsons meet.

Haskell sports draw NAIA probation KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics has put all athletic programs at Haskell Indian Nations University in Kansas on probation through 2014 for “violations involving ineligible players.” The penalty took effect Monday at the Lawrence school, said NAIA spokeswoman Kay Hawes. No other information was provided on the association’s website, and Hawes said specific information on violations and penalties is available only from institutions themselves. University spokesman Stephen Prue said Wednesday that the school was drafting a statement. In May, the school announced a Department of Education investigation into falsified student-athlete test scores had resulted

and Bowling Green. The most deflating performances came the past two seasons under Gill. Mangino had been fired and Gill was coaching his first game when North Dakota State, a program from the Football Championship Subdivision, waltzed into Memorial Stadium and headed back home with a 9-6 victory every bit as ugly as the final score. Gill’s teams were also spanked by Southern Mississippi, and looked lessthan-dominant in wins over New Mexico State and McNeese State, two programs that shouldn’t have posed much problem. Little wonder that many Kansas fans are asking whether anything has changed. “I don’t really listen to the outside stuff,” said Crist, who has perhaps shouldered an unfair burden since his arrival in Lawrence. “The pressure I was feeling is what I was putting on myself. I’ve always been internally motivated. I just have to go out and let it loose.” So do the rest of the Jayhawks. “I let them sulk for Saturday night and then Sunday we were back to work,” Weis said. “It’s good doing that because by the time Sunday night comes, they’re already moving on. That doesn’t mean it’s acceptable. That doesn’t mean it’s OK. But you’re moving on.”

that it took some time to get over the loss to Rice. The Jayhawks were leading 24-13 with the ball in the third quarter, but their drive fizzled and Ron Doherty missed a 53-yard field-goal attempt short and left. The missed opportunity not only gave Rice good field position, but it also seemed to deflate the entire team. Rice answered with a field goal of its own, and then tacked on a touchdown early in the fourth quarter. The Owls’ two-point try was no good, but Crist promptly threw an interception with less than five minutes to go, giving the visitors one last chance. Chris Boswell’s 45-yard field goal as time expired gave them the victory. “I let them be in the tank Saturday night, because I was in it, too,” Weis said bluntly. “But by Sunday morning after watching tape, meeting with the staff, getting with the players, going out and practicing — the best medicine in sports is to go out there and play again.” Kansas has downed plenty of medicine in recent history. Going back to the era of Terry Allen in the late 1990s, the Jayhawks routinely lost to teams they were expected to beat. Even after Mark Mangino took over the program, the coach that would eventually lead the program to the Orange Bowl was stung by UNLV

in “official action on the employees and students involved.” It was not immediately clear if the NAIA’s action was related to that investigation. In a news release at the time, the school said ACT scores dating back to 2008 were involved and that employees were “disciplined for manipulation of three other student transcripts.” Two employees involved no longer work at Haskell, and some games were to be forfeited, according to the release. The release also noted that changes had been made to the schools’ database and admission process. Nedra Darling, a spokeswoman for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, which oversees Haskell, didn’t immediately return a phone message Wednesday seeking comment. Nor did Liz Utrup, a spokeswoman for the U.S.

Department of Education. According to the NAIA handbook, the use of ineligible students leads to the forfeiture of “all contests in which the ineligible student participated.” Athletes also lose at least one season of eligibility. Institutions placed on probation also must submit a written response detailing the corrective measures they plan to take. Future violations can lead to the suspension of programs, a move that would bar them from postseason play, the handbook says. Haskell is part of the Midlands Collegiate Athletic Conference. The conference’s commissioner, Al Waller, said he knew few details about what happened. “They’ve had some issues in the past with eligibility problems, so I think that’s one of the reasons

the NAIA came down pretty hard on them,” he said. He noted that many Haskell students come from schools on American Indian reservations. “I know they have a lot of trouble getting information on student-athletes for eligibility purposes,” he said. “We try to work with them as much as we can. We know it’s not an easy situation.”

BURLINGTON — Iola High’s junior varsity volleyball team defeated host Burlington High 25-17, 2522, 25-14 Monday. Allie Cleaver had five kills at the net and served four points, including one ace serve. Shelby Smith downed six kills and made four blocks and Torrie Lewis had four kills and five ace

MVHS girls lose matches LE ROY — Marmaton Valley lost to Southern Coffey County 25-15, 25-23 and St. Paul 25-21, 25-16 Tuesday in Le Roy. Tabitha Ford served nine points for the Wildcats against St. Paul. Kailey Boyd had three kills and two blocks and Kaitlin Ensminger had three kills. Against Southern Coffey County, Emily Boyd served up eight points and Emily Meiwes had six service points. Kailey Boyd delivered five kills and Meiwes had three kills. “We had a lot of ups and

downs during the night’s matches,” said Terra Kegler, MVHS head coach. “We have to find a way to finish. The girls are playing hard, but need to get a win to get their confidence.” In junior varsity play, St. Paul beat Marmaton Valley 15-10, 15-12 and Marmaton Valley beat Southern Coffey County 15-7, 15-9.

Cubs fall in TVL Wagner is state BASS champ

NEODESHA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A sluggish start coupled with an ill-timed penalty late in the contest did in Humboldt High Friday evening. The Cubs were battling toe-to-toe with host Neodesha High, and thought they had picked up a crucial first down on a botched snap on a punt attempt of all things. But the first down was nullified because of a penalty, forcing the Cubs to kick, for real this time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who knows what happens if we pick up that first down,â&#x20AC;? Humboldt assistant coach Mike Miller said. The Bluestreaks were there to take advantage down the stretch, scoring a pair of fourth quarter touchdowns to win 33-23. The loss drops Humboldt to 2-1 on the season. The Cubs return home next Friday to host Oswego. Neodesha got the early jump, scoring on the first play from scrimmage, then again two minutes later to lead 13-0. The Cubs were scoreless until the waning seconds of the first half. A botched Neodesha snap on a punt attempt led to a safety with 47 seconds left in the second quarter. Nathan Whitcomb and Trey Johnson took immediate advantage, connecting on a 42-yard touchdown pass with 32 seconds left on the clock to trail 13-10. Whitcomb scored on a 47yard run midway through the third quarter and then gave Humboldt the lead for

the first time on another touchdown pass to Johnson, this one covering 11 yards. But Neodeshaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hayden Dierks scored on a one-yard run to give the Bluestreaks a 27-23 lead with 3:25 left. Justice Baird threw a 16yard touchdown pass to Jake Crawford with 2:05 left to cap the scoring. Whitcomb racked up 116 yards on 11 carries and completed 7 of 20 passes for 120 more yards. Jacob Carpenter added 23 yards on 13 carries. Johnson had 64 yards on four receptions. Tanner McNuttâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sole catch covered 34 yards. Johnson and Dustin Prock recovered fumbles for the Cubs. Zack Osborn pulled in an interception.

Two years ago Remington Wagner was asked to join the local Kansas BASS Federation Nation youth bass fishing club â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Puddle Jumpers. Last Sunday, Wagner turned his â&#x20AC;&#x153;hobbyâ&#x20AC;? into a state championship. Wagner won the 2012 Kansas BASS Federation Nation Junior Division Youth State Championship, ages 11-14. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great,â&#x20AC;? Wagner told the Register. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had been fishing since I was little bitty, then two years ago Melvin Smoot asked if I wanted to join the bass club.â&#x20AC;? Wagner, who is 13 and an eighth-grader at Yates Center, won his state title at Banner Creek Lake near Holton. On a cool day on the lake, Wagner hooked five fish weighing in at 11.57 pounds. Wagner also took the â&#x20AC;&#x153;big bassâ&#x20AC;? award for the state tournament. He had one bass that weighed in at 4.44 pounds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any secrets to fishing. I used a

The 2012 KBFN Youth State Champion in the Senior Division was Nick Luna of Kick Back Club, Olathe. He had five fish weighing 11.65 pounds. Wagner is qualified to

compete in the BASS Federation Nation Central Divisional Tournament in Texas next summer. If he does well there, he will advance to the Bassmaster Junior World Championship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to competing with the state team in Texas next summer,â&#x20AC;? Wagner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty cool.â&#x20AC;? He is the son of Bryson and Shelly Wagner of Yates Center.

Doubles team leads the Fillies By JOCELYN SHEETS jocelyn@iolaregister.com

CHANUTE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A week ago Iola Highâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fillies had a rough go of it in tennis action. Thursday, in the cool, cool weather, things went better for the Fillies. Iolaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 1 doubles team of Abbey St. Clair and Alexis Hobbs rolled to three straight wins at Chanute before losing its last match. St. Clair and Hobbs beat Navarro and Neil of Coffeyville 8-3. The Iola pair battled with Curlee and Baden of Pittsburg into a tiebreaker and won, 8-7 (7-5). St. Clair and Hobbs de-

feated Derfelt and Davolt of Columbus 8-1. They dropped an 8-0 decision to Chanuteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Liudahl and Thuston. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was excited to see our No. 1 doubles team play well at Chanute,â&#x20AC;? said Jennifer Bycroft, Filliesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tennis coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last week was rough and it was nice to see them turn it around this week.â&#x20AC;? Shelby Reno and Bobbi Sinclair went 1-3 in No. 2 doubles for Iola. Their win was an 8-3 decision over Delmont and Johnson of Columbus. Reno and Sinclair lost 8-4 to Coffeyvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Johnson

and Johnson, and lost 8-1 to both Pittsburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Long and Phalen and Chanuteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bearrick and Ungles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shelby and Bobbi are young, a sophomore and freshman, respectively, however they are improving together,â&#x20AC;? Bycroft said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They just need to anticipate the ball a little better and communicate on the court more often.â&#x20AC;? In No. 1 singles, Katana Smith went 1-3 for Iola. Katana opened with an 8-2 win over Coffeyvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jessica DeYoung. She lost 8-2 to Katy Short of Pittsburg, 8-4 to Ashley

Simpson of Columbus and 8-0 to Madison Wendt of Chanute. Megan Smith, Iolaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 2 singles player, won by default over Coffeyville 8-0. She lost 8-0 to Pittsburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brittany Wilde, 8-4 to Alyssa Goodwin of Columbus and 8-1 to Rebecca Wendt of Chanute. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Katana really played well and I saw a lot of hustle out of her,â&#x20AC;? Bycroft said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Megan did a better job in placing the ball with a lot more pace on it.â&#x20AC;? Iolaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s junior varsity is at Parsons Monday. The Filliesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; varsity travels to Pittsburg next Thursday.

F IN IS

Few could have predicted that Jeff Gordon would make the Chase without winning the final regular-season race. He finished third, second and second down the stretch. Before the season, Rick Hendrick said he expected all four of his drivers to make the Chase. By taking the two-wild card spots, Kasey Kahne and Gordon fulfilled the boss’s wishes, joining Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jimmie Johnson in the championship scramble. Tony Stewart righted his ship with a fourth-place finish, suggesting that the pattern of Stewart’s 2011 championship might be a possibility yet again. In the four races before Richmond, the reigning champion’s average finish had been 25th. Two Chase competitors, Martin Truex Jr. and Kevin Harvick, are winless. Stewart was winless at this point last year and won five times in the final 10 races. The previous points leader, Greg Biffle, seems notably overlooked. It’s not like Biffle, who finished the regular season with 12 more points than Earnhardt, hasn’t won twice. The points are reconfigured for the Chase. That means that Denny Hamlin begins it as the top seed because only he has won four races. Each Chase driver receives a base of 2,000 points, with three added for each victory. That gives Hamlin 2,012, three more than Johnson, Stewart and Brad Keselowski. The wild-card selections, Kahne and Gordon, aren’t eligible for bonus points, so they join Truex and Harvick at an even 2,000 points.

Montoya spun out Bowyer on the 235th lap of the Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond. Bowyer, who benefited in terms of pit sequencing, went to win the final regular-season race. “Thank you, Juan Pablo, for wrecking me and then winning me the race,” Bowyer said. NASCAR This Week’s Monte Dutton gives his take: “It’s hard to beat a fortuitous mistake as incentive for forgiveness.”

Jimmie Has That Effect

John Clark/NASCAR This Week

Jeff Gordon, right, joined Kasey Kahne in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship on Sunday with a strong finish at Richmond. With 12 men ready to take on 10 races, it’s still safe to say Jimmie Johnson has the best odds to win it all again.

Roll-The-Dice Time With Chase set, who has the best shot at the title?

By Monte Dutton

NASCAR This Week

RICHMOND, Va. — Attempting to pick the winner of the Chase for the Sprint Cup is a hazardous proposition. The format is designed more to create an exciting process than to produce a just winner. No one would suggest that Tony Stewart’s spectacular 2011 championship — not to mention the breathtaking competition with Carl Edwards — was undeserved, but Stewart somehow managed to step up his game in a way that few, including him, could have anticipated. After winning none of the season’s first 26 races, Stewart won five of the final 10. Edwards lost by a tiebreaker after compiling the best average finish (4.9) in the history of the Chase. Edwards finished second in each of the final three races. Stewart won three of the final four and was third in the other. “I couldn’t predict it last year,” Stewart said. “I wasn’t good enough to predict it then. I’m not sure I’m going to be any better at predicting it now. “All 12 guys have a shot, and a good shot, I think.” Here’s one modest attempt to set the odds. Each driver has a one-in-12 shot. Just kidding. ■ Jimmie Johnson 4-1. Given his history, it’s impossible to pick anyone else. ■ Denny Hamlin 8-1. He’s tried and failed before, and he now has Stewart’s 2011 crew chief, Darian Grubb, in

his corner. ■ Dale Earnhardt Jr. 10-1. He thinks he can win a few more races. If he can maintain his consistency, though, he’s still got a decent shot. ■ Brad Keselowski 10-1. He’s poised to give Dodge its last hurrah. ■ Tony Stewart 10-1. He pulled out of his slump at Richmond with a fourth-place finish. ■ Greg Biffle 12-1. He doesn’t lead the points now because he only has two victories, but winning the regular season counts … a little. ■ Jeff Gordon 12-1. He made it, and now he’s going to have to be reckoned with. His average finish in the past three races is 2.33. ■ Clint Bowyer 15-1. The most recent winner must avoid the occasional disaster. He finished outside the top 25 four times during the first 26 races. ■ Matt Kenseth 20-1. In spite of all claims to the contrary, he’s slipped since he announced he was leaving Roush Fenway at season’s end. ■ Kasey Kahne 20-1. Oh, he could win the championship, but it’s hard to see him as better than the fourth seed at Hendrick Motorsports. ■ Martin Truex Jr. 30-1. Maybe it won’t require a victory, but his most recent one was in 2007. ■ Kevin Harvick 35-1. In the past 13 races, he has two finishes better than 10th. That won’t cut it.

Send emails to mdutton@ gastongazette.com, ATTN: NTW question Dear NASCAR This Week, If NASCAR is wondering why all the empty seats (are) at their races each week, I can tell you why we won’t spend our money to go see a race anymore. First, the ONLY reason we attended the Nationwide race was to see the Cup boys run. It is ridiculous they can’t compete for the championship if they are in the competition for the Sprint title. The second reason we won’t spend money to see a race — THE RACE FOR THE CHASE IS BORING! Who came up with that idea? They created a five-time champion and worse than that, it was Jimmie Johnson! I think he might have one title under the old points system. Then, already this year, that cheater Chad (Knaus, Johnson’s crew chief), who (won) his appeal for cheating. I certainly hope that Paul Menard’s crew chief will win his appeal, too. They cheated Elliott Sadler out of an awesome win this year, and I could go on and on. The bottom line is if Jimmie Johnson wins his sixth title this year, I am done with NASCAR, and good luck, keep the fans you still have. Lynne Bupp Roxbury, Kan. The system determines the champion. The driver who best uses that system to his advantage is the winner, and Jimmie Johnson has done it five times. It’s not really pertinent to suggest that he wouldn’t have won under the old system because the old system isn’t in place anymore. If it was, Johnson might approach it differently. Surely you don’t think it would be fair to change the system just to keep one driver from winning the title?

What value is stretching exercises? Dear Dr. Donohue: My basketball coach is gung-ho for stretching exercises. We spend at least 15 minutes of every practice doing all sorts of stretches. Some of us wonder what this is doing for us. Our coach claims that it keeps us from injuries. Does it? How? — J.D. Answer: Some sportsmedicine authorities are of the same mind as your coach. They claim that stretching lessens the chance of injury. The proof for that claim isn’t great. They also claim that stretching enhances performance. That’s another statement for which proof isn’t great. Gymnasts, hurdle runners, dancers (it is a sport) and perhaps baseball pitchers might get an advantage from increased flexibility, but the average

To Your Good Health player doesn’t gain a whole lot. Stretching aficionados claim that stretching gives basketball players a greater span to reach for the ball. That sounds like a stretch to me. Older, less-active people, on the other hand, do profit from stretching. With age and inactivity, flexibility is lost. Older people have a hard time bending over to tie shoes and trim toenails. A safe way to stretch is to move the joint as far as possible without pain. When you reach that limit, hold the stretch for 20 to

30 seconds. Relax and repeat five to 10 more times. You will find that you’re able to stretch farther with daily exercises. Another good stretching exercise involves having a partner. The partner moves the relaxed arm or leg to the point where it’s on the threshold of pain. Then you contract the muscles briefly and relax. Your partner is able to move the limb a bit more. Is it possible that you’re confusing warm-ups with stretching? The two are not the same. Warm-ups are things like calisthenics or slow running in place. They do warm-up cold muscles, decrease muscle stiffness, increase blood flow to muscles and increase the delivery of oxygen to the muscles. Warm-ups can improve performance.

Boyfriend ‘amazing’ in private, not in public Dear Carolyn: I am not sure if my issue stems from my own insecurity or if this is an actual problem that needs to be addressed. My boyfriend of almost two years is an amazing guy. The only problem is, he is two different people when we are alone together and when there are others around. In the company of others, he is always trying to be the center of attention.

Sudoku is like a crossword puzzle, but uses numbers instead of words. The puzzle is a box of 81 squares, subdivided into 3x3 cubes of 9 squares each. Some squares are filled in with numbers. The rest should be filled in by the puzzler. Fill in the blank squares allowing the numbers 1-9 to appear only once in every row, once in every column and once in every 3x3 box. One-star puzzles are for beginners, and the difficulty gradually increases through the week to a very challenging fivestar puzzle.

Tell Me About It Carolyn Hax

He will leave for long periods of time and I have no idea where he is. The last party we went to, a girl started telling me how cute he was and how he had flirted with her the whole night. After I said he was my boyfriend, she was shocked; there seemed to be no displays of affection between us and he was busy doing his own thing. Also, when we hang out with others, I feel like a fifth wheel. He doesn’t make any effort to include me in the conversation. I’ve told him about this many times and there haven’t been any changes. What should I do? Answer: Decide if this is the way you want to live your life, and adjust your relationship status accordingly. You probably want to hear something more definitive — maybe, “Yes, this is clearly your insecurity, so just carry on as if nothing is wrong,” or, “Wow, he’s clearly in have-cake-and-eat-it-too heaven, since he enjoys the security of your love while shopping around for more and better attention when-

HAGAR THE HORRIBLE

ever he leaves the house.” But I’m not in a position to decide whether he’s taking advantage or being innocently gregarious, nor would my opinion be relevant if I were. You are unhappy with the status quo, so you need to respect your feelings and change that status quo — in ways that don’t include asking and waiting for him to change for you, or rationalizing your discomfort away.

DAILY CRYPTOQUOTES - Here’s how to work it:

Dear Carolyn: A friend who lost his wife a few years ago has made it known that he’d like to start dating. Another friend has asked me to give him her number. For the first time, I came face to face with the fact that I’m just not that into her as a friend anymore; I actually get fatigued in her company. While I don’t mind fixing them up, and putting aside for the moment whether or not they end up clicking, what does it say about me that I’m balking at recommending my friend to a guy looking to meet a nice woman? Answer: It means you recognize that you’ll feel somewhat responsible if these two (1) become a couple, and then (2) unravel in spectacular fashion (or dully, I suppose, in a drawn-out haze of doubts and complaints) due to the aspects of her personality that wear you out .
