COMBINED AMBULANCE/FIRE SERVICE PROPOSED County director not on board By RICHARD LUKEN richard@iolaregister.com

It’s only open a crack, but a window of opportunity to agree on countywide ambulance and firefighting services exists — if the powers that be can settle on one of two proposals. “There are enough people on both sides who want to see something get done,” said Tom Williams, Allen County Sheriff and the presumptive replacement for Rob Francis’ seat on the county commission. “I see plenty of middle ground in which we can work.” The two sides Williams is referring to are the Allen County Commission and the Iola City Council. Since December 2008, the county and Iola have provided separate EMS services, resulting in a burden to taxpayers, a duplication of services and equipment and underused staffs in both departments. Earlier this year a committee was designated to find a way the city and county could once again provide one EMS service as well as retain

Iola’s fulltime firefighting force. From there, Ron Conaway, Iola EMS director, and Jason Nelson, his counterpart for the county, were ordered to come up with a proposed merger. Both have since developed separate proposals that have been, or will soon be, presented to the public. Conaway sat down with Register reporters in late September to discuss many of the specifics of his proposal. At the time of the interview, he still had to flesh out final details, particularly with costs. Nelson declined to speak with the newspaper about his proposal, instead handing it over without comment to the ambulance committee. CONAWAY’S proposal mirrors another developed in recent months and promoted by Sheriff Williams. “It would involve giving a little on both sides,” Williams said of the compromise. The Conaway/Williams proposed merger would have

the Iola Fire Department assume responsibilities for EMS services throughout the county. The key is all EMS employees would also be trained in fire protection. One EMS service would reduce the number of ambulances needed from the current six, to four. Firefighters would continue to staff the Iola station, with others stationed in Humboldt and Moran. For paramedics and ambulence personnel who have reservations about fighting fires, they need not worry. Not all firefighters “would be asked to go into burning houses,” Conaway said, although they would respond to fire calls. Those crews instead would be stationed outside of any fire scenes to provide medical support, to stand by for other medical needs, or to re-equip other firefighters’ equipment with items such as fresh air tanks. “There are a number of duties that are required at a fire scene,” the sheriff said, “not just fighting the fire.” See AMBULANCE | Page A3

Meltdown group going strong By STEVEN SCHWARTZ steven@iolaregister.com

Construction of a new fountain begins at the Bowlus Fine Arts Center.

Artsy fountain to grace Bowlus A sculpture and fountain in front of the Bowlus Fine Arts Center is being built. “The sculpture will recognize music, drama, painting and dance,” said Susan Raines, executive director of the Bowlus. The fountain is made possible by a donation from Emerson Lynn in recognition of his wife of 59 years, Mickey, who died in

2009. Mickey Lynn was a staunch supporter of the Bowlus and its mission to provide arts education and entertainment to area students and patrons, Raines said. “We anticipate the fountain will be completed about Thanksgiving,” Raines said. “We’ll have a trial run (with water) and then shut it down for the winter.”

A group of Lincoln Elementary faculty and staff is seeing improvements through the Thrivesponsored Meltdown program. The eight-week program is nearing its midway point, and Judy McIntosh, the elementary counselor for USD 257, said she has seen positive results for herself and her team. “The Healthy Hart Club,” is named after Lincoln Elementary principal Larry Hart, who is also a member of the team. Damaris Kunkler, program director for Thrive Allen County, said the program is an eightweek initiative meant to emphasize healthy living. She said the idea is not necessarily centered on weight loss, but to help people get in shape. McIntosh said she has seen results in her personal life from eating healthier and exercising daily. “We are eating healthy and have been very focused on exercise,” McIntosh said. “I’ve had more energy and it’s from getting up and moving.”

Since the program began in the beginning of October, Hart said more have become involved with the Meltdown. The team is now up to around 18 people, which is above the suggested

limit of 10. Hart said since the program is not a competition, they have no advantage from such a large team and they want See MELTDOWN | Page A7

Committee looks to boost morale Bomb threat suspect arrested By STEVEN SCHWARTZ steven@iolaregister.com

The need to improve teacher morale in USD 257 was the main topic of discussion Wednesday when the Teacher Appreciation Committee had their first meeting in the Iola High School library. The Teacher Appreciation Committee was formed to address issues in the schools that pertain to the well-being of the district’s 350 staff and faculty. The main topic of discussion was information gathered from a survey conducted in September. Brian Pekarek, district superintendent, said a questionnaire was sent to parents and answers were gathered in regard to teachers. Committee members spent time reviewing parents’ answers and compiling them in a list to be analyzed and sent to district staff. See TEACHER | Page A7

Leake turned herself in Friday after police executed a search warrant at her residence a day earlier at 1254 N. Walnut St. There, officers recovered the cell phone believed to have been used to call bomb threats to The Greenery, Best Western Motel, B & B Cafe and Monkey Butt Saloon the morning of Sept. 1. Iola Police Chief Jared Warner said five search warrants were executed in all to pore through phone records, eventually connecting the call to Leake’s phone. “It’s a long process because of the phone companies involved,” Warner said. The threats followed a sepa-

rate bomb t h r e a t phoned in to Iola Wa l m a r t Aug. 31, which resulted in the store’s closure Amber Leake and evacuations of other nearby businesses. The calls police said were tied to Leake did not result in any of the businesses closing. Iola Police Chief Jared Warner said Leake was not believed to be involved with the Walmart bomb threat. No bombs were found after any of the threats. Warner said police were requesting four counts of filing a false report be filed against Leake. Leake was released on bail.

would remain as Iola employees, but would operate under the direction of a board of EMS directors made up of health care professionals and others in Allen County. The consolidated service would remain a Type 1 ambulance service, which mandates a paramedic be assigned to at least one ambulance at all times. “That would resolve the county’s concern about oversight and quality of service,” Williams said. The board and its responsibilities is a pivotal point in making a merged service work, unlike the system in place up until the two services split in 2008. “The old system was designed to fail,” Williams said. That’s because the county EMS director was for years the Iola fire chief. Iola officials recognized that the fire chief had authority, but little oversight, over ambulance personnel in Humboldt and Moran. Then, when the county decided to manage its own service, the opposite was true. “We had a county EMS director who had oversight and authority over Moran and Humboldt, but no oversight over the Iola employees,” Williams said. Having an EMS board review and recommend changes within the system would eliminate that discrepancy. Under Williams’ scenario, the county would be responsible for billing. Williams cites Terry Call’s highly regarded efforts in collecting unpaid bills for the county; after counting write-offs, Call’s collections rate stands north of 80 percent in recent years, the sheriff said. “If you have somebody that good at what he does, it makes sense to keep him,” Williams said. In exchange for Iola’s services to the county, the county would increase “substantially” the subsidy it provides Iola, Williams said. HAVING full-time firefighters stationed throughout the county would benefit other communities as well. Williams and Conaway both noted Iola firefighters stationed in Humboldt and Moran would provide support in a number of ways for the neighboring communities. “They could do building inspections, host educational programs for schools, work with the volunteers on training,” Conaway said. An added benefit: multiagency cooperative efforts are more likely to receive grants for upgraded equipment or manpower, the sheriff said. “We rely very much on our volunteer departments,” Williams said. “They provide outstanding service. But if you’re augmenting those volunteer departments with professional, full-time firefighters, you can’t tell me you won’t have a better service overall.” NELSON’S

PROPOSED

merger, on the other hand, would have the county assume responsibility for all ambulance runs in Allen County, including Iola, out of its building on North State Street. Three ambulances would be in use: one in Iola, one in Humboldt and one in Moran. A fourth ambulance would be operated by Iola firefighters on an “as-needed” basis. Such instances are rare: of the more than 1,400 ambulance calls since January in Iola or Allen County, only

once has it needed four ambulances on scene. The county would not need to hire additional personnel, Nelson said, and the ambulances would be moved strategically around the county, “based on calldriven demand.” Under Nelson’s scenario, Iola firefighters would continue to receive the $80,000 annual subsidy the county provides to man the county’s rescue vehicle and provide hazardous materials cleanup. Firefighters also would be called to serve as first responders for EMS calls within the city. Nelson said the advantages to his plan is a reduced

Iola Fire Department. Nelson also said the city could give up funds made available from a federal grant that would have added three more firefighters to the IFD staff for the next two years. Because the funds have not yet been used, the grant could be returned without penalty, Nelson’s proposal said. If the county oversaw EMS in Iola, that would add about $300,000 to county coffers, Nelson said. CONAWAY’S proposal also would realize significant savings. While Conaway was hesitant to provide numbers ahead of Monday’s city council meeting, estimates obtained elsewhere point to a savings of about $500,000 from the combined $2.5 million the city and county spend collectively for ambulance and fire protection. Williams said all county paramedics and ambulance personnel would be given first dibs on the added positions at IFD — 29 full-time employees would be needed to make the whole system work — although some, realistically, would choose not to work for the city. Attrition would take care of the rest. WILLIAMS pointed to other potential stumbling blocks, and their solutions. What would happen, say, if Iola took over all ambulance services and then decided down the road to drop the added service? “The ambulances and equipment would be county property leased to the city for a token fee, say $10, a year,” Williams said. “If the city wanted to drop the service, the equipment simply would go back to the county.” Williams, Conaway and Nelson all envision a fullscale effort into developing a countywide network of first responders: volunteers who could respond quickly in case of a medical emergency. “You could have a Gates employee as one, or a farmer in a rural area,” Williams said. “Rapid response is vital to saving lives.”

Opinion

Jobs report gives Obama much-needed boost By KEN THOMAS and NEDRA PICKLER Associated Press

CLEVELAND (AP) — President Barack Obama celebrated much-needed good economic news Friday as the unemployment rate dropped to its lowest level since he took office. “We are moving forward again,” he boasted. Republican rival Mitt Romney retorted that the president still hasn’t done enough to help millions of people who are out of work. The figures announced by the Labor Department — 114,000 new jobs last month to bring the unemployment rate to 7.8 percent — gave Obama fresh evidence on the heels of his disappointing debate performance to argue that his economic policies are working. Romney countered that the country can’t afford four more years of the president’s leadership and argued that the rate is low in part because some people have quit looking for work. “These are tough times in this community,” Romney told a rally outside a construction equipment store after meeting with coal miners who have been laid off. “We’re going to bring back jobs and bring back America.” Obama responded that Romney wants to roll back policies that are repairing the economic damage. “Today’s news should give us some encouragement,” Obama

told thousands gathered in the rain for an afternoon rally at Cleveland State University. “It shouldn’t be an excuse for the other side to try to talk down the economy just to try to score a few political points.” The unemployment rate fell from 8.1 percent in August, matching its level in January 2009 when Obama became presi-

dent. There is one more monthly unemployment report before Election Day, so Friday’s numbers could leave a lasting impact on Americans who are already casting ballots in states that allow early voting. The candidates campaigned Friday on opposite ends of one of those early voting states, Virginia. Romney, in the state’s far

Trip helps answer eternal questions The first question is usually: Why? It’s a good one, for behind every action — no matter how unexpected — there is always a reason. I left Seattle a month ago on a cross-country road trip, just me and my dog, and arrived in Iola on Wednesday. Along the way, I’ve met fascinating people of all ages, had up-close encounters with buffalo, elk, and a curious red fox, and gazed in absolute wonder at the majesty of the Milky Way. I’ve camped in the mountains with temperatures dropping into the 30s, and stayed in cheap motels, delighted to have indoor plumbing. Some days I’m exhausted, and wonder who came up with this idea. Other days I feel like the luckiest person on the planet. I’ve given myself three months for the trip, and at this rate, it will take all of that. Older people I meet want to know why I’m doing this: Am I leaving husband? Am I menopausal? Am I having a (rather late) mid-life crisis? Young people are more likely to ask: What inspired you? I have a stock answer: years ago, a friend and I took a year off from college, worked six months to earn some travel money, and took off in an old but plucky pickup truck to travel the United

Janet Simmelink

States. It was a grand adventure, one I always thought I’d do again. Now, finally, I am. What lies beyond the stock answer? That’s harder to say. I think, at a certain age, when the kids are raised and life has settled into a pleasant-but-predictable routine, we look at ourselves in the mirror and wonder: Am I still me? Do I still have that burning curiosity and sense of adventure? Can I still take on the challenge of the unknown and unplanned? I’ve learned, so far, that I am, I do, and I can. I suspect that’s true for everyone. That while we all grow older, more experienced and hopefully wiser, we do — at the core — remain very much ourselves. I’ve also been reminded, once again, what a vast country this is. That people do today what they have always done: work and hope and love and try. Suffer discouragement and appreciate encouragement. I know it’s an over-used phrase,

but with each passing mile, I am continually reminded that life really is a journey. And that we only get one chance to take it. It doesn’t matter if we live in a red state or a blue state, a green state or a drought state, what really counts is what we do with our ohso-brief time on earth and how we treat each other while we’re here. It will be hard to leave Iola. It’s a nice town, and I’m staying with dear friends, who have given me a warm welcome (and indoor plumbing!) But soon it will be time to head out again. I’m very lucky to have the type of work I can do from anywhere and a loyal dog who laughs at all my jokes. And I’m particularly lucky to have an adorable husband, who will fly out to visit me somewhere soon — Kentucky, maybe, or the coast of Georgia. So no, I’m not planning to leave him. Nor am I menopausal or having a late midlife crisis. I’m just looking in the mirror, relieved to find that yup, I’m still me. Janet is staying with Register editor Susan Lynn.

after Romney dominated their first debate Wednesday night, is accusing his rival of being dishonest about how his policies would affect the tax bills of middle-class families and the Medicare benefits of retirees. He told an audience at George Mason University that his rival “got an extreme makeover” in their face-off. He also argued Romney can’t bring change to the country when he’s “willing to write off half the nation before you take office,” a reference to Romney’s disparaging remarks about the 47 percent of Americans who don’t pay federal income taxes. Romney made the comments at a fundraiser in May that was secretly recorded, but the videotape did not emerge until last month. Romney went as far as he’s ever gone to try to take back his words in an interview Thursday night with Fox News. “Well, clearly in a campaign, with hundreds if not thousands of speeches and question-andanswer sessions, now and then you’re going to say something that doesn’t come out right,” Romney said Thursday. “In this case, I said something that’s just completely wrong.” At the White House, senior adviser David Plouffe retorted: “I would take with a huge grain of salt trying to clean something up five months after you said it for the first time.”

Big decisions ahead In the months ahead decisions will be made about what will become of two Allen County landmarks, Allen County Hospital and Walter Johnson Field in Humboldt. Alan Weber, county counselor, told Allen County commissioners Tuesday he and Cris Rivera, ACH chief executive officer, would give a representative of a company that has had experience refitting hospitals a closeup tour of the facility on Oct. 19. In Humboldt, ideas are being solicited for what to do with Depression-era Walter Johnson Field, where the Humboldt High Cubs have played football for nearly 80 years, and where sandlot and, more recently, high school teams have played baseball just as long. Weber mentioned possibilities of the hospital being transformed into a care facility, office complex or some kind of business. Jim Talkington, unopposed in the Nov. 6 election for a seat on the county commission and an Allen Community College trustee, wondered if the hospital might be suitable for student housing, which with ACC’s annual enrollment growth is a recurring problem. The outcome no one wants is for the hospital to be razed. Structurally, it’s sound, but doesn’t fit well with the delivery needs of modern medicine, which led to construction of a new, state-of-the-art facility. I twice was a patient, once when I mistook indigestion for heart concerns, a second time for prostate cancer surgery. Care both times was exceptional, but I do remember the structure’s

limitations. I had a more intimate association with Walter Johnson Field, and I am one of those that K.B. Criss, USD 258 superintendent, noted would be sentimental about its abandonment when Humboldt’s new sports complex opens at the east edge of town. I played a year of football and goodness knows how many baseball games, organized and not, inside the imposing laid-up rock wall that surrounds the complex. Summers in the mid-1950s are particularly memorable. Every afternoon, no matter how hot it was, several of us would trek to the field in the southwest part of town, our numbers growing as we went along. There always were enough for a good game of work-up. We’d play an hour or two, sometimes longer, after worming our way through a loosely connected iron gate, and then exit for a leisurely journey home, which always included a stop at the Harwood Brothers filling station for a bottle of pop from an old lift-top cooler where it bathed in iced water. I opted for Grapette, which came in a six-ounce bottle and cost a nickel. Nothing tasted better after all that time on a hot, dusty baseball field.

to motivate as many people as possible. Denise Buchanan, special education teacher at Lincoln and Meltdown team member, said she appreciates the camaraderie and support she receives from her teammates. “We give all day long and this is almost like going to the spa every day,” she said. McIntosh echoed her opinion by saying partnership in the program makes all the difference, and she wants the effect of their success to ripple throughout the Lincoln faculty and staff. She said it is just as important for the children to see the effects of the Meltdown as it is to the teachers. “We can’t teach what

we aren’t,” McIntosh said. “We need to pass our healthy habits on to the children.” The team members have personal motivations for the Meltdown as well, and team member Nancy Vest said she and her doctor have taken notice of improvements. After she had heart surgery five years ago, Vest said her doctor encouraged exercise and healthy eating. She said her doctor emphasized that she “is doing wonderful” and her cholesterol problems are now non-existent. This new lifestyle change has given her a positive attitude and the energy to spend time with her grandchildren, she said. McIntosh and Hart said they have involved their

spouses in the program as well. “I told my wife I couldn’t tie my shoes without huffing and puffing,” Hart said. “That’s when I decided to join with Judy (McIntosh). The team cited multiple benefits from the program, some of which included lower cholesterol, better posture, more energy, weight loss, stress relief and better moods. Overall, McIntosh said the team has had great success and is looking forward to the rest of the program. She said they are planning to carry their improved habits past the eight weeks. “Our goal is that we want to see every teacher wearing a Meltdown Tshirt,” McIntosh said.

Recently, while at the hospital for some medical tests, I saw a sign above a person’s desk that read, “Good Morning, This is God, I will be handling all your problems today. I will not need your help; so, Have a Good Day.” “Have a good day” is used so frequently by just about everyone we come in contact with that it has almost become a meaningless cliche. However, when I read this sign, I really took it to heart because I was reminded that God is always with us, and I could truly have a good day. No matter what problems or blessings we may encounter each day, we can be sure that God is there to strengthen and help us, and give us peace. The Bible tells us that two thousand years ago a virgin gave birth to a Son, and He was called Immanuel, which means “God is with us,” and He is still with us today. Everyone needs to have a good day and reflecting God’s love to others will help us all to have a better day.

The Lord gives strength to His people and blesses them with peace.

The subjects of the questions included community service, resource management, trust and relationships, recommendations for the district and current initiatives the parents deem needless. Parents’ answers were across the board. Some expressed opinions that USD 257 needs to improve communication between teachers and parents and others expressed a need to increase salaries for district employees. Many answers supported teacher’s efforts in the schools, praising their productivity and dedication to the district’s students.

needs to improve upon and focus specifically on those areas. “We do a lot of things well in the district,” Pekarek said. “Is there something we do that we can be the best at?” Ideas for improvement stemmed from a book provided by Pekarek. The book, “Lessons in Loyalty” by Lorraine Grubbs, is based on a Southwest Airlines employee’s experience with maintaining staff loyalty. Annette Rexwinkle, seventh- and eighth-grade language teacher at Iola Middle School, said the book is an interesting look into how employees are treated in one of the most respected companies in the nation. She said employee relations are the most important aspect of Southwest’s business structure and it has led to a loyal employee and customer base. The committee members will read the book throughout the semester, while applying its content to the dis-

trict. T h e meeting concluded with a brainstor ming session a b o u t Brian Pekarek ideas for Teacher Appreciation Month in general. Maxwell, the principal at McKinley Elementary School, said little things are important when building relationships with teachers. She said simple notions like personal notes, clear communication and complimentary meals would make a difference in the school district. The committee members include superintendent Brian Pekarek, Crystal Henderson (Iola High School), Hannah Platt (Lincoln Elementary), Lori Maxwell (McKinley Elementary), Annette Rexwinkle (Iola Middle School) and Mark Burris (school board).

Daredevil to push limits Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Teetering 23 miles above the New Mexico desert, Felix Baumgartner plans to leap head first into the abyss and become the first free-falling human to break the sound barrier as he plummets to the ground. The feat, which will put his life on the line and push his body to the limit, is scheduled to take place shortly after dawn Monday when he falls from 120,000 feet in the air. Wearing a newly designed pressurized suit and helmet, the Austria native will test the threshold of his equipment as scientists, aerospace engineers, the Air Force and NASA study what it shows about the limits and capabilities of the human body bailing out from aircraft at ultra-high altitudes. After several years of preparation and test jumps, Baumgartner, 43, is ready. “I feel like a tiger in a cage waiting to get out,” he said in a statement. The jump is an effort to

break a free-fall world record of more than 19 miles, or 102,800 feet, set by Air Force test pilot Joe Kittinger in 1960. The endeavor, called Stratos, is funded by the energy drink company Red Bull. The company has paid millions of dollars to Southern California aerospace companies to pull it off, but won’t say how much. Clearly, Red Bull has things in mind besides scientific breakthroughs. The mission involves two dozen cameras, including a helmet cam, to catch the action and to deliver live Web streams. The Austrian company hopes its promotional investment reaps returns on drink sales. This jump is “unprecedented” and risky, said Kelly O’Keefe, a marketing professor at Virginia Commonwealth University. “This is beyond extreme,” he said. “The risk of failure is so high.” The company and mission organizers reject talk of the event being done solely for publicity.

Mustangs clinch Pioneer League crown By RICHARD LUKEN richard@iolaregister.com

WELLSVILLE – Offenses ruled for two quarters here Friday as Iola High and Wellsville High put on a scoring clinic. By the time the halftime gun sounded, Wellsville led 30-28, and it was apparent the game would be decided on who could adjust on defense. Iola did just that, holding Wellsville scoreless for much of the second half, then holding on with a key defensive stand in the game’s final minute. The Mustangs’ 41-36 victory over Wellsville clinches a Pioneer League championship for Iola in the team’s inaugural season in the league. Now, Iola 5-1 overall and 4-0 In Pioneer league, sets its sights on district play over the final three weeks of the regular season – the three games that will determine which two teams from Class 4A, District 6 will qualify for the playoffs. The Mustangs host Chanute next Friday. But for now, the Mustang faithful can revel in a wildly entertaining victory over a young Wellsville squad that unveiled a number of new wrinkles with its running game for its visitors from the south. The Eagles ran several variations of a counter-gap play that featured linemen pulling to one side of the field or the other and speedy tailback Shane Hillman darting in the opposite direction. “It caught us off guard a bit because it’s something we hadn’t seen on film,” Iola head coach Doug Kerr said. “It took us a while to figure out because it’s such a good play. A few changes in how the Mustangs attacked the play plugged those gaps and shut down the Wellsville offense. After running for 175 yards in the first half, Hillman could only muster 31 yards after the break. “Early in the season, I thought our defense really carried us until we hit our stride offensively,” Iola head coach Doug Kerr said. “Tonight, Offensively, we did what we needed to keep ourselves in the game. The adjustments really helped (after halftime).” The victory wasn’t secure until a tenuous final series of plays.

Register/Richard Luken

Iola High’s Jacob Rhoads, center, tries to elude a tackle attempt by Wellsville High’s Trevor Heckman (43) and Landyn Holtwick (32) in the Mustangs’ 41-36 victory. The win clinches a Pioneer League championship for Iola. Iola was set to nearly run out the clock, but a first down pass from Mason Coons to Jacob Rhoads was negated because of a chop block penalty. Wellsville took over at its own 15 with two minutes left. Then, Rhoads narrowly missed an interception on a third-and-15 pass attempt by Wellsville. The missed pick was followed one play later by a 28-yard completion to set the Eagles up at midfield with under a minute left. But three incompletions, and

a key quarterback sack by Tyler McIntosh and Bryce Misenhelter ended the threat. “Our adjustments took them out of their comfort level, and they started pressing because we were still scoring,” Kerr said. Kaden Macha started the scoring for Iola with a seven-yard run midway through the first quarter. Wellsville scored twice in succession later in the period to lead 14-7 before Rhoads plunged in from one yard out to knot the score.

Hillman’s five-yard touchdown run was countered by a four-yard run to paydirt by Iola’s Mason Coons. The Coons score triggered an exasperating series of failed kickoff attempts, in which Iola was whistled for penalties on four straight kicks. A squib kick to midfield led to a one-play scoring drive – a 47-yard run by Hillman to push the Eagles up 30-22. Coons capped the ensuing Mustang drive with a three-yard

touchdown run with 11 seconds left in the second period to close the gap to 30-28. John Whitworth took control after the break, including a dazzling 56-yard touchdown rush in which he broke several Eagle tackle attempts.. Another long run set Iola up in prime scoring position but a Rhoads fumble was recovered by Wellsville at its own 4. But the Mustang defense held, See MUSTANGS | Page B2

Mustangs take third in Indy meet INDEPENDENCE — Despite dealing with injuries and illness, Iola High’s cross country squad still managed a number of personal-best times at a meet in Independence Thursday. The varsity boys claimed third place overall among 12 schools, led individually by Tyler Powelson and Trent Latta, who claimed fourth and fifth places, respectively. Powelson ran the 5K course in 16 minutes, 56 seconds. Latta was 10 seconds behind at 17:04. “Tyler and Trent ran as a twosome for the entire race, passing an Ark City runner in the final 800 yards,” IHS coach Marvin Smith said. Jacob Cooper’s time of 19:17 placed him 33rd in his first varsity race. Labette County High won the boys varsity with 27 points, followed by Pittsburg in second with 42 points. Iola scored 67 points, even without one of its top runners, Jeremy Spears, who is nursing a leg injury. On the varsity girls side, Abigail Taylor placed sixth “in a really strong field of runners,” Smith said, with a time of 17 minutes flat on the 4K course. She was Iola’s only entry. Jo Lohman was sidelined with knee problems. Pittsburg, which like the boys squad also utilized runners from Pittsburg St. Mary’s-Colgan, won the girls varsity with 43 points, followed by Frontenac with 49.

The meet was held at a new location this year, at the Independence Community College campus. “It was a really good course,” Smith said. “You were always going up a hill or downhill, and some hills were long and somewhat steep. We had a lot of personal bests, but too many for me to mention. Zach St. Clair’s mark of 19:17 was the best among all junior varsity boy runners. Travis Hermstein was fourth at 19:31. Shannon Vogel’s time of 20:33 was good for sixth overall in the JV girls race. Iola’s results follow Varsity boys 4. Tyler Powelson, 16:56 5. Trent Latta, 17:04 16. Michael Wilson, 18:31 25.

Wildcats roll over old rival By STEVEN SCHWARTZ steven@iolaregister.com

Marmaton Valley High’s Wildcats showcased their speed Friday night in a 66-20 win against Uniontown High’s Eagles. Friday’s win kept Marmaton’s record perfect for the season at 6-0. Coach Kent Houk said the offensive line was the key to victory against the Eagles. He said the Wildcat Lineman created the space the running backs needed to get down the field. “The front line gave nice holes up front, and that led to open grass for our running backs,” Houk said. Houk said in spite of their

successes, the team needs to be “much more sound on defense” before playoffs. The Wildcats have three games remaining in the regular season. They look to keep their record clean against Pleasanton High in one week. The Wildcats racked up 423 total yards of offense, most of which coming on the ground with 363 yards of rushing. Wildcat seniors Ryan Smith and Cole Becker led the team in on the ground. Becker carried the ball 23 times for 242 yards and Smith ran 15 times for 117 yards. Lucas Hamlin had the longest reception of the night at 22 yards. Smith connected with Lucas Hamlin on a 34-yard touch-

down pass in the first quarter to begin the scoring. A Uniontown score was followed with an eightyard touchdown run by Smith and a five-yard score by Becker. Smith scored twice more before half, covering 14 and five yards, while Becker added a three-yard scoring run. Smith and Becker kept up the pace in the second half. Smith’s 12-yard touchdown run was followed by Becker’s 56yard jaunt. Smith completed four passes for 60 yards. The Eagles moved the ball, but the Wildcat defense held the See MV | Page B2

Wildcats, Jayhawks on diverging paths Sunflower Showdown

By DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports Writer

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Charlie Weis wanted to give his team a lesson in the Sunflower Showdown ahead of his first game against Kansas State, so the new Kansas coach figured he’d better bone up on it himself. “I had to go back and find out all about the Governor’s Cup,” Weis said this week, “see how this has all gone, and read about how it used to be the Governor’s Trophy.” He read about the recent history, too. While Kansas owns a decisive advantage in a series that stretches to 1902, the Wildcats have dominated it for more than two decades, ever since the arrival of Bill Snyder in Manhattan prior to the 1989 season. There was a stretch of 11 straight victories, and currently three in a row. “Any time you play an Charlie Weis in-state rival, there’s something to play for, and the players have to understand there’s something to play for,”

Kansas at Kansas State Today, 11 a.m. Bill Snyder Family Stadium Manhattan FX (Channel 31 for Cox Communication subscribers)

Weis said. “Since Coach Snyder has gotten to K-State, things have gone big-time their way. He’s 16-4 in the series himself.” Most people don’t figure the outcome today will be much different. The seventh-ranked Wildcats (4-0) are rolling after beating Oklahoma on the road two weeks ago, while the Jayhawks (1-3) have blown two fourth-quarter leads this season. Both teams were off last week. Kansas State is led by a Heisman Trophy candidate in quarterback Collin Klein, a defense that has gotten better with age, a steady ground game and evolving passing attack. The Jayhawks’ only victory came against lower-division South Dakota State.

So, yes, Weis knows the deck is stacked against him. “Starting with the head coach, that might be their biggest advantage. Absolutely,” he said this week. “Even with all that being said, OK, you still play the game. Not to be sarcastic, I’m just stating the facts. This is who they are. So what you do as a head coach, and this trickles down to the other roles I play, what you then do is say, ‘What are we going to do about it.’ “You can’t just say, ‘Let’s go in there and keep it close. Let’s keep it close for the fan base,’” Weis added. “I’d rather lose by a hundred, trying to win.” Some years, it looked like Kansas State would win by 100. Three straight during Snyder’s first tenure, the Wildcats piled up at least 50 points against the woebegone Jayhawks. The following year, they merely won 40-6, before a 64-0 win in 2002 that remains the most lopsided game in the history of the series. Even the years Kansas has been good have been difficult against the neighbors to the west. The Jayhawks were 7-0 and ranked No. 6 when they took the familiar trip down Interstate 70 in 1995, only for the 14th-ranked Wildcats

to pin a 41-7 victory on them. Kansas finally broke through under former coach Mark Mangino, beating the Wildcats in 2004 and then rattling off three straight once Snyder stepped away for a brief retirement. But things have gotten back to usual ever since the silver-haired fox returned. Snyder beat Kansas in his first year back, one of only six wins by the Wildcats that season, and has shepherded his team to victories the past two seasons by a combined score of 118-28. “Every game means everything,” Snyder said. “This is significant because Bill Snyder you’ve got a lot of youngsters who are from the state, and they talk about bragging rights, etcetera, got to go home in the summer time with the same youngsters who play for Kansas, and it’s true for both sides. “They’re all highly motivated,” he said. “You get 12 games a season, maybe 13. That’s 12 times for a competitive young guy to really be competitive, and that’s 12 out of 365 (days). That’s it. There isn’t

Caney Valley too much for Humboldt By STEVEN SCHWARTZ steven@iolaregister.com

Defending the run was the Humboldt High Cubs’ Achilles heel during the first half Friday night in their 56-27 loss to the Caney Valley Bullpups. Humboldt went to the air for most of its offense, totaling 279 yards. Senior Blake Crawford and Junior Hunter Murrow led the team in receptions with 109 yards each — Crawford with seven receptions and Murrow with four. Quarterback Nathan Whitcomb completed 14 out of 27 passes. Cubs rushing yards totaled 30 yards on 12 carries. The majority of the

Bullpups’ scoring came in the first half, with 48 points in the first two quarters. In the second half, Humboldt’s defense held Caney Valley to a single touchdown. Whitcomb completed touchdown passes to Crawford for 35 yards, Tanner McNutt for 43 and Noah Thornbrugh for 28 before running in an eight-yard touchdown himself in the fourth quarter. The Bullpups ran the ball well, with 41 for 360 yards. Assistant coach Mike Miller said the team failed to execute on defense and missed multiple tackles. He said Caney Valley’s “bread

and butter” is to run the ball, and while the Humboldt players were in the right place, they didn’t stop the run as much as needed. Miller said he was proud of his team’s effort, and expects the team to be ready for district play. The loss drops Humboldt’s record to 4-2 on the season. The Cubs host their first district matchup against Eureka High next Friday for homecoming.

Southern Coffey County falls to Hornets CHETOPA — A 40-point second quarter outburst by host Chetopa High proved too much for Southern Coffey County High to overcome Friday. The Hornets turned a 14-8 lead after one period into a 54-22 lead by intermission. Two more quick Chetopa scores in the third period ended the 68-22 loss. “We keep doing some good things offensively and finding our identity a little bit, but penalties just really hurt three of our drives late in the first and early

second quarters,” Titan head coach Korey Lankton said. Tyler Houston caught a 31-yard touchdown pass from Chism Newkirk to open SCC’s scoring. Turner Anderson, who rushed for 85 yards on the night, scored next for the Titans on a 45-yard run in the second period. Walker Harred, who led Southern Coffey County with 93 yards on the ground, added a 25-yard run late in the half. Newkirk completed 2 of 5 passes for 45 yards. Houston had a 31-yard catch and

Josiah Witteman had a 14yard reception. Newkirk had seven tackles and a fumble recovery on defense. Witteman also had seven stops.

and Wellsville’s punt set Iola up at the Eagle 36. Macha capped the ensuing six-play drive with a five-yard touchdown run. “We have some things to work on,” Kerr said. “The kickoffs are something we really need to fix.” Whitworth covered 161 yards on 11 carries, followed by Macha’s 63 yards on 10 rushes and Coons with 45 yards on 12 carries. Stephen McDonald rushed

twice for 14 yards. Rhoads tallied six receptions for 101 yards and rushed nine times for 29 yards. Coons completed 12 of 19 passes for 170 yards. Jacob Harrison covered 42 yards on three receptions.

Crest blasts West Elk LONGTON — Crest High scored early and often and was able to play several young players in the process Friday evening. The Lancers exploded for 53 first-quarter points against an overmatched Elk Valley High squad en route to a 58-0 win. The game was ended at halftime via Kansas eightman mercy rules. “We got to play a lot of younger players tonight, and our older players really did a good job of cheering on our JV,” Crest head coach Brent Smith said. Jordan Morton scored less than a minute into the game on a 61-yard touchdown run. Morton then connected with Clayton Miller on a 23-yard scoring strike. Kyle Hammond followed with touchdown runs of 10 and four yards before Smith inserted his JV players. The run continued. Hunter Frazell scored on a one-yard run, Evan Godderz scored from 39 yards out and Brandon Brallier put the lead at 53-0 with 1:40 left — in the first quarter. Hammond kicked a 36yard field goal early in the

second period, and a Lancer safety created by pressure from Codi Vermillion was good for the final two points. Morton led the team with 61 yards rushing on his only carry of the game. Hammond rushed five times for 55 yards. Frazell rushed for 46, Brallier for 16 and Braden McGhee for 34. Godderz had 44 yards on the ground. Miller’s only catch covered 23 yards. Crest rushed for 274 yards as a team. On defense, Austin Green registered a pair of interceptions and Jesse Boone had a pair of fumble recoveries. Vermillion had five tackles, followed by Miller with four stops and a fumble recovery Colton Strickler had a quarterback sack. Crest hosts Chetopa next Friday for its annual homecoming affair.

any more. How could you pass up the opportunity to do what you love to do and be as competitive as you love to be in any game that you play? I think they all feel that.” The importance Kansas State places on the rivalry is evident the moment you walk into the football complex, where the Governor’s Cup sits in a case in the middle of the room. The rest of the program’s hardware, from Big 12 titles to bowl games, is in a separate trophy case. Kansas hasn’t looked at the Wildcats the same way, at least not historically. Sure, it’s a game that the Jayhawks always want to win, but their bitter rival has always been Missouri. Now, with the Tigers off to the SEC, the Sunflower Showdown is the biggest game in town. “We always felt like it was more important to them, and when you are going into a fight and somebody feels like it is more important to them, that shows,” said Kansas wide receiver Daymond Patterson, a Texas native who has learned to appreciate the rivalry. “Going into this year, it’s mutual. “You’re our rival and we’re your rival, so let’s get it on.”

Miami, Notre Dame set to renew rivalry By TIM REYNOLDS AP Sports Writer

The Catholics vs. Convicts T-shirts, they’re likely faded now. No one expects a reprise of the so-called “tussle in the tunnel” this time around. And any sense of venomous back-and-forth dialogue simply has been nonexistent this week. Notre Dame vs. Miami. It’s not what it once was — thankfully, perhaps. For the first time in nearly a quarter-century, the Fighting Irish and Hurricanes are meeting in a regular-season game. The rivalry will be renewed today at Soldier Field in Chicago, a purportedly neutral site that will be overwhelmingly in favor of No. 9 Notre Dame (4-0),

which is seeking its first five-game winning streak since 2006. On the other side will be the young-butdynamic Hurricanes (4-1), two-touchdown underdogs with one win over a top 10 foe since 2005. “I think it’s great,” Miami coach Al Golden said. “When it’s all said and done, it’s a special day for both universities, both staffs, both football programs, and the young men that are playing. I think at the end of the day both teams are going to look back at this venue, one of the storied cities in America, and say, ‘This is what it’s all about. This is what college football is all about.’” The last time the teams played, Notre Dame won

33-17 in the 2010 Sun Bowl. Combined, the programs have 13 national championships — but none since 2001, the longest drought for either the Fighting Irish or Hurricanes to go without an Associated Press title since the 16-season stretch spanning 1950 and 1965. From 1987 through 1989, the winner of the Miami-Notre Dame game won the national title each year. And since the regularseason series was halted in 1990, the programs have combined for two titles, both by the Hurricanes. So maybe the sides do, in fact, need one another. “It’s always important to impart a little bit of the tradition to our players,” Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said. “But they’re focused on what this football team is at 4-1, the kind of schedule they play, the teams they’ve beaten. I think that’s our focus, and I know it is for our players that they’re focused on this team more than the tradition and the history. Because if they’re not, they’re going to get beat.” But the history is clearly worth talking about — since, well, just about

everyone involved in that history was talking about it this week. Lost in the shuffle of two teams not liking each other was this — the rivalry was theater. When the teams played in 1987, 1988, 1989 and 1990, both were ranked in the top 10 at the time. It was a series with tons of angst, from accusations suggesting Miami ran up the score on the way to a 58-7 win in Gerry Faust’s final game on the Notre Dame sideline, to some Irish fans getting former Miami coach Jimmy Johnson’s telephone number in the week before a game, and the infamous brouhaha where police had to break up a pushing and shoving match as the teams were exiting the field after pregame warmups in 1988. In a video posted on Notre Dame’s website, former Irish coach Lou Holtz said he urged his team to avoid any on-field incidents against Miami. “After we win the game, if Miami wants to fight, fine, we’ll meet ’em in the alley,” Holtz, on the video, recalled saying to his team. “And if they do, you save Jimmy Johnson’s (butt) for me.”

MVJH squads compete ARMA — Marmaton Valley Junior High’s volleyball squads went a combined 1-2 in games Thursday at Northeast Junior High. The Wildcat A team fell 25-12, 25-10. Emily Plaschka led Marmaton Valley with four service points. Trinitee Gutierrez had three. “We knew coming in this would be one of our toughest games,” head coach Brenda Mills said. “We kind of psyched ourselves out and never bounced back.” The B team, consisting of six seventh-graders, narrowly lost 25-20, 25-22.

“It’s tough taking on six eighth-graders but we were right there in both games,” seventh-grade coach Scott Brady said. “We just didn’t finish them out tonight.” Clara Boyd had seven points, Megan Ensminger six and Shelby Yoho five for Marmaton Valley. The C team won 25-20, 25-18. “The girls played well and finished strong,” Brady said. “We had a strong comeback to take over.” Paige Becker led the way with eight points. Izzy Bigelow and Patricia Outlan scored four apiece.

Knowing ways to cook tasty and flavorful foods can make a world of difference when trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Thursday evening Tracy Keagle held a vegan cooking class at the Flewharty-Powell Annex behind Iola Public Library, as part of the Allen County Meltdown, an eight-week countywide program dedicated to healthy living. Keagle is going into her eighth year as a vegan and says she “never looks back.” “If it has eyes and a mother then I don’t eat it,” Keagle said. “This is the only planet we have, so we better start taking care of it.” For Thursday night’s dinner she prepared a vegetable lasagna, a garden salad, garlic bread and chocolate

Allen County initiates drug court By EMERSON LYNN Associate Register Editor

Allen County and the rest of the 31st Judicial District will initiate a drug court in January, joining about 12 other Kansas judicial jurisdictions in the effort to help drug users kick the habit. District Judge Dan Creitz told Iola Rotarians Thursday that he expects year-long individual treatment will be provided to somewhere between 25 and 50 drug users each year. In other states where the program has been instituted, 75 percent of

those who stick with it for a year and are “graduated,” meaning that they have responded positively to the instruction offered, remain drug-free. Creitz said the state now provides funding for drug remediation in the law which requires certain offenders to enroll in treatment as an alternative to imprisonment. Other users who will be candidates for the drug court will be those who are sentenced to remediation rather than being charged with a felony. The drug court pro-

gram is based on individual treatment on a onceevery-two-weeks basis. Judge Creitz will evaluate results of individual evaluations and either sanction an individual who has failed to stop using drugs or reward him or her for succeeding. The regularity of the process and the individual treatment and evaluations provided appear to be very successful, according to a study distributed to club members by Judge Creitz. In introductory remarks, Creitz said this area has a significant drug

problem. Law enforcement officers who worked with him to design a drug court for this district say “we are fighting the drug war — but we are not winning it,” he reported. Nationwide it is estimated abuse of controlled substances — the generic label for illegal drugs — costs the country a trillion dollars a year. Finding ways to reduce use and rehabilitate users should be a national priority, he said. Judge Creitz was introduced by Jay Kretzmeier, program chairman.

more than 40 others have fallen ill. Doctors who do these injections say they are extremely safe when done correctly with sterile drugs. And many doctors stick to medications approved by the Food and Drug Administration instead of relying on generally lessregulated “compounding pharmacies” like the Massachusetts company implicated in the outbreak.

“If I was a patient, I would definitely be concerned,” said Dr. Michael Schafer, an orthopedic specialist at Chicago’s Northwestern Memorial Hospital. He said Northwestern gets steroids from federally regulated pharmaceutical companies. And in almost 40 years of experience, he has never had a patient develop an infection from these shots.

Tofu has a bad reputation for not being flavorful. Keagle said the trick is to drain all the liquid from it, take the block of tofu and wrap it in paper towels, then place something heavy on top. “The tofu will then soak up all the flavors it is cooked with,” she said. “The consistency will be better as well.” Keagle does warn that the first time a person goes to the grocery store they will spend a lot of money, but “it will never be that expensive again.” To feed roughly 15 people it cost Keagle $27 for all the ingredients.

Season’s first snowfall dusts NW Kansas

1 Ton Recycled Newspapers = 17 30’ Trees

GOODLAND, Kan. (AP) — The summer’s blistering heat is still a recent memory, but northwestern Kansas has received its first snowfall of the season. The National Weather Service in Goodland says about a half-inch of snow fell Friday in that city, with all of it melted by noon. Another system was expected to bring more snow

to northwest Kansas, northeastern Colorado and southwestern Nebraska into this afternoon. Strasser says accumulations of a half-inch or less are forecast for Kansas, with slightly more possible in Colorado. Friday was far from a record early snowfall for the Goodland area. Strasser says that distinction belongs to Sept. 17, 1971.

Scout leader first Kansan to reach climbing record By RACHAEL GRAY Garden City Telegram

Scouts of America, will put a team together in 2014 to climb Mount McKinley, elevation 20,328 feet. So far, he’s the first person in Kansas to climb all the highest points in the lower 48 states, according to the Highpointers Club, which tracks and records climbers who achieve climbing the highest points in the U.S. It’s been a journey of healing for Hogg. His son, Ezra, 17, died in

GARDEN CITY, Kan. (AP) — Sometimes overcoming the deepest pain can make a person achieve his highest dreams. That’s true for John Hogg, who vowed for nine years he would climb the tallest points in all 50 states. And nine years later, he’s at 49.

Ezra was an Eagle Scout. “It was five days before my birthday, 11 days before he turned 18 and 15 days before Christmas,” Hogg said. “It completely emotionally, physically and spiritually devastated me. It was the hardest thing I’ve gone through in my life,” he said. But now, instead of fo-

cusing on the tragedy, Hogg focuses on the memory of his son to go forward and climb the highest of mountain tops. “I decided to climb to the highest peaks in his memory,” he said. Hogg said he was surprised to learn he’s the first person in Kansas to climb to the highest peak in each of the lower 48 states. “I sent off for the award. I had to document every date I did each state. Then

had a down day. That’s the kind of person he was,” he said. Last year Hogg climbed Mauna Kea in Hawaii, which is 13,796 feet. He brought his skis. “Yes, I have been skiing in Hawaii,” he said. Hogg said he’s fortunate to have great health, the financial means, the friends who support him and a kind of job that allows him to travel and accomplish his goal. Hogg said he has a certain confidence he can accomplish them all. It’s not without risk. “It’s not something for someone who is not trained for this. There is a calculated risk. I train in the gym. I’ve had a membership at the Garden City Rec and the YMCA. Most training is done in the mountains. When it gets to be climbing season, I’m in the best shape of my life,” he said.

I asked them, by chance, if I was the person from Kansas. They said I was,” he said. Some of the highest points have been a simple walk from the parking lot. “The easiest high point was probably in Florida. You just get out of your car. It’s 345 feet above sea level. It’s the lowest high point in the U.S.,” he said. In less than 48 hours, Hogg went from the actual lowest point in the contiguous 48 states to the highest point. “I visited Death Valley in California, and less than 48 hours later I was at the summit of Mount Whitney,” he said. The elevation of California’s Mount Whitney is 14,505 feet. Hogg does all the climbs in memory of his son. During the ascent, Hogg focuses on that goal alone. “My son, he just never

Regime opens new urban front BEIRUT (AP) — The Syrian military opened a second urban front Friday, attacking the rebel stronghold of Homs with the most intense artillery barrage in months and putting opposition fighters there and in Syria’s largest city, Aleppo, increasingly on the defensive. Syria’s civil war has been locked in a bloody stalemate, and embattled President Bashar Assad could extend his hold on power if he retakes Aleppo and Homs. Amateur video from Homs, a symbol of resistance, showed black columns of smoke rising from the city, as loud explosions went off every few seconds. While Assad stepped up attacks at home, tensions with neighboring Turkey flared again Friday, reviving fears that the 18-month-old conflict in Syria could ignite a regional conflagration. The crisis began on Wednesday, when a Syrian shell killed five civilians in a Turkish border town and triggered unprecedented artillery strikes by Turkey, coupled with warnings that Turkey would no longer tolerate such acts. On Friday, a Syrian mortar round again hit inside Turkey, causing no injuries, and Turkish troops returned fire, the state-run news agency Anadolu said. In the past, Turkey did not respond to stray Syrian shells, but Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan suggested Friday that those days are over. “I once again call on Assad’s regime and its supporters: Do not try to test Turkey’s patience, do not try to test Turkey’s limits,” Erdogan said. Earlier in the day, Turkey had deployed more troops on its border with Syria. The U.S sided with Turkey, condemning what White House spokesman Josh Earnest called the “aggressive actions of the Syrians.” Earnest said Turkey’s response was appropriate and that the U.S. stands by Turkey, a NATO ally. Still, there were signs that both sides are trying to defuse the situation.

Friendly fire possible in border shooting PHOENIX (AP) — The shooting of two U.S. Border Patrol agents near the Arizona-Mexico border may have been a case of friendly fire, a union chief for border agents and law enforcement officials said Friday. The development could shake up the investigation into the death of one of the agents that re-ignited the political debate over security on the border. George McCubbin, president of the National Border Patrol Council, a union representing about 17,000 border agents, said Friday that he has learned new details that make him believe friendly fire could have played a part in the shooting.

“The only thing I can say is that the possibility of friendly fire is a higher likely scenario,” McCubbin said, declining to elaborate on the new details. Two law enforcement officials also told The Associated Press that the FBI is investigating the possibility that the fatal shooting of 30-year-old Agent Nicholas Ivie and the wounding of another agent early Tuesday morning five miles from the border was a case of friendly fire. The probe is examining whether the two agents exchanged gunfire Tuesday in the mistaken belief that each was being fired on by a hostile gunman.

(Published in the Iola Register, Saturday, October 6, 2012) PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE CITY OF GAS 228 North Taylor Street P.O. Box 190 Gas, Kansas 66742-0190 (620) 365-3034 The City of Gas will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, October 16, 2012, at 7:00 p.m., in the City Council Meeting Room of the Gas City Hall, 228 North Taylor Street, Gas, Kansas, for the purpose of considering an application to be submitted to the Kansas Department of Commerce (KDOC) for Small Cities Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds under the Community Facilities category.

cars these days. I just want to drive something that I can understand. — Malia TOM: You’d like to look under the hood and actually know what’s going on? So would WE! RAY: I don’t know how old you are, Malia, but I remember when televisions were pretty simple. And when something went wrong that wouldn’t respond to a fist on the side of the box, you could take the back off the TV, remove the tubes, take them down to the repair shop and put them in a “tube tester.” TOM: If one of the tubes was bad, you’d buy a new one for a few bucks, put them all back in, turn on the TV and voila! You’d be watching “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” again in no time. RAY: I wouldn’t even consider taking the back off my TV now. And I guess that’s a loss for humanity. But you know what? TVs are 1,000 times better today than they were 50 years ago. They almost never break now, they download movies, they display things in 3-D. Their pictures are brighter, sharper and more realistic, yet the sets are more energy-efficient. And most importantly, you don’t need to adjust the vertical hold every 15 minutes to keep from seeing Walter Cronkite’s forehead at the bottom of

the screen and his chest at the top. TOM: And the same is true of cars. They’re 1,000 times more complex, but they’re also 1,000 times better and more reliable than they used to be. RAY: And much of that is attributable to the complicated technology that you and I can’t even begin to fix anymore. So it’s a trade-off, but it’s a trade-off that most of us are happy to make. TOM: Because now our cars pollute a fraction as much, they’re more powerful, some of them go much farther on a gallon of gasoline (or a kilowatt of lithium-ion battery power), they’re safer, more comfortable, they last longer and, perhaps most importantly, they start pretty much every day. A lot of people forget what it was like to turn the key and pray whenever it was cold and rainy out. RAY: And cars now routinely go 100,000 miles without needing any major repairs. In the old days, if you nursed a car to 100,000 miles, it was a cause for a party. TOM: So, in order to get something that you can look under the hood of and easily tinker with yourself, you have to be willing to drive an unsafe, unreliable, pollution-belching rust bucket.

DAILY CRYPTOQUOTES - Here’s how to work it:

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

Only Tony Stewart, Kasey Kahne and Dale Earnhardt Jr. are within 40. For those lagging behind, Talladega offers promise. The action-packed Alabama track is widely referred to as the “wild card” in the final 10 races. It’s a reasonable bet that at least one of the prominent will fall. Keselowski and Paul Wolfe came up with a winning strategy at Dover. Asked how much longer his fuel would’ve lasted, Keselowski quipped, “Probably another 100 (laps/miles).” Roger Penske, Keselowski’s owner, dedicated his team’s latest victory to the late Chris Economaki. “He cared about the little guy running on the short tracks,” Penske said of Economaki. If Dodge driver Keselowski wins the championship, how bad is it going to make Chrysler look for pulling the plug on its NASCAR program at season’s end? Penske Racing will field Fords next year. Oh, by the way, Keselowski won earlier this season at Talladega, the next stop on the schedule.

KURT BUSCH VS. REGAN SMITH

It’s obvious that it will be difficult for Smith to accept being replaced at Furniture Row Racing by Busch, but the most notable development at Dover was Busch essentially trashing the team, Phoenix Racing, with whom he has been employed this year. Busch reacted aggressively to the notion that moving from Phoenix to Furniture Row was a lateral move, declaring that he had been saddled with “four-year-old cars” for most of the season. NASCAR This Week’s Monte Dutton gives his take: “For most of the season, Busch has talked about how pleased he was driving for owner James Finch, calling the assignment a throwback to the fun of his youth. He painted a very different picture once he decided to jump ship.”

What happened? The final six Sprint Cup races of the regular season were all compelling. The Chase is three races old, and all three have been relatively uneventful. Coincidence? Well, Talladega should enliven things a bit.

Good Sam Roadside Assistance 500, 1 p.m., Sunday

What a difference a year makes. In 2011, Carl Edwards compiled the best average finish in Chase history, 4.9. Yet still it wasn’t enough to win the Sprint Cup championship. Tony Stewart, who won five of the 10 Chase races, won by a tiebreaker. In the AAA 400, Edwards finished fifth, which would have been fine if it didn’t match his best finish all year. This year Edwards didn’t even make the Chase, and his Cup career has a certain pattern to it. Three times the Columbia, Mo., native and resident has had big years, and each time he has struggled the following season. In 2005, Edwards finished third. The following year he was 12th. In 2008, Edwards finished second. The following year he was 11th. In 2011, he finished second. This year he currently ranks 14th. Edwards, 33, can’t come up with a reason why. “I could sit here, and we could go through every race and how they went,” he said recently. “I don’t know if you want to do that or not, but a lot of the races have

been bad luck, where we got caught up in wrecks or we had trouble at Indy, where I thought we had a pretty decent car. “We haven’t run as well as we need to run, but that’s the only way I know how to be is an optimist. That’s the only reason I’m sitting here in this suit driving for Jack Roush, is because you always have to go out and give it your best. You’ve got to do everything you can, and at the end of the day, if you don’t get the result you want, that’s very frustrating, but I don’t look back. I try to look forward …” Edwards wasn’t particularly placated by the AAA 400 performance, but he had finished 22nd, 36th, 17th, 19th and 19th in the previous five races. “It was a decent finish,” he said. “We didn’t deserve to finish that far forward, but we had some lucky breaks and my guys did a good job on pit road. “We’ll go back and work on it and figure out what we were missing there because it seemed like all of us (meaning Edwards and teammates Greg Biffle and Matt Kenseth) struggled a little bit.”
