By DAVID LIGHTMANMcClatchy Newspapers
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The 2012 presidential election’s bat-tle lines are now sharper and the choices more vivid than at any time since at least the mid-1960s.
Voters had distinct choices in that era’s elections. They debated civil rights, the cre-ation of Medi-care, the Viet-nam War, and law and order.
This year’s political options are as diverse. Voters will not only select Mitt Romney or Barack Obama, they’ll also send a message about the role of government that could reverberate and re-
shape how people pay taxes, get help when times are tough and manage their health care.
To Romney, the Republican presidential nominee, govern-ment’s mission is to promote opportunity with lower taxes, less regulation, more private involvement in health care and a climate where business can thrive and hire. Obama views Washington as a source of ser-vice and support for those who need better education, training and maybe financial help to be-come productive members of society.
The back-to-back political con-ventions that ended Thursday re-introduced Obama and Romney as not just the standard-bearers of their parties, but as champi-ons for polarized ideologies.
Perhaps just as important to this year’s political storyline, the two weeks of gavel-to-gavel politics gave voters a close look
at the candidates’ contrast-ing styles. Spouses, surrogates and supporters tried to portray them as caring, thoughtful lead-ers with deep political souls, but also soft edges. Personal-ity will matter, particularly in a race that’s been a virtual tie for weeks.
“People make a very personal choice,” said Sen. Robert Casey, D-Pa. “They don’t take out a yel-low legal pad and make a list of positions. They ask who will be on their side.”
Romney heads into the fall campaign regarded as the skilled manager who absorbs data and then devises ways to make sys-tems work. Obama is the un-flappable thinker who believes
Campaign ahead: decisions voters will make USD 257 board will meet in LaHarpe
By ALLISON [email protected]
The USD 257 Board of Educa-tion will take a trip down memory lane Monday when members host their regularly scheduled meet-ing at LaHarpe City Hall.
The building used to be LaHa-rpe Elementary School.
The district closed the school in 2009 and donated the building to the city, which made it into a com-munity building and city hall.
“It is a special opportunity for our school board to go back and speak with the community of La-Harpe,” USD 257 Superintendent of Schools Brian Pekarek said. “Every community is important to our district.”
The idea to hold the meeting in LaHarpe came from the recent busing issue.
When LaHarpe parents whose children attend Marmaton Valley petitioned for a bus pickup to be moved inside LaHarpe city limits, concern rose that USD 257 would lose more students to Marmaton Valley.
“We became very cognizant of our school district. LaHarpe is still USD 257,” Pekarek said.
The school board is hoping for a large turnout. Parents and community members will have a chance to speak at a public forum if they wish, Pekarek said.
“It gives us a good chance to go see the old school and talk to com-munity members,” Pekarek said.
ALSO ON the board’s agenda will be online surveys.
Tuesday, an online survey will
A STORM ON ITS WAY
Register/Bob Johnson and Richard Luken
A close call Above, an approaching storm front Friday afternoon creates an ominous shelf cloud moments before tor-rential downpours and strong winds whipped through Gas. Right, this large limb fell across the street in the 300 block of South Cottonwood Friday afternoon just moments after a truck passed under during a siege of high wind that accompanied a cold front as it darted through the area. Heavy rain also was a part of the storm.
Ambulance merger proposed
By BOB [email protected]
Economic realities may force city and county directors to de-velop one ambulance service — at last.
At Friday’s meeting of the Am-bulance Advisory Committee, members agreed to ask city and county directors to develop a plan to merge the two services.
Sheriff Tom Williams made the proposal, which calls for Ron Con-away, a registered nurse and fire-fighter who directs Iola’s service, and Jason Nelson, Allen County ambulance director, to resolve differences and “come back with a plan.”
“Let’s have the two services (directors) come up with a hybrid plan that’s good for all of Allen County, and get over the animos-ity,” Williams said.
Conaway said he had been working on a merger and wel-comed the opportunity to work with Nelson. Nelson, too, em-braced the proposal.
Budget figures for 2013 for the two services are about $2.3 mil-lion, including $1.3 million for the county’s.
When all services were to-gether, with volunteers operating ambulances from Humboldt and Moran, cost was $260,000 in 2006. The next year, with paid crews

“We want them to ride a float in the Veterans Day parade in November,” said Hillbrant, chairman of the Iola Elks Past Ex-alted Rulers Committee.
Following the parade, the veterans will be treated to a meal at the Elks lodge.
“All veterans have giv-en a lot to our country, not just those of World War II, but we’re losing so many of those from World War II that we de-cided to honor them on Veterans Day this year,” Hillbrant said.
He urged veterans or anyone who knows one to call him at 620-496-7055.

An ultra fast broadband network is as important to a rural city’s growth as electricity was 100 years ago, J.D. Lester told Iola Rotarians Thursday.
Lester is city man-ager of Chanute, which has done for itself what Google is doing for Kansas City — providing broad-band service through fi-ber optic cables that can carry a nearly infinite amount of information instantaneously to Cha-nute government offices, schools, industries and other businesses from the Internet and throughout the network.
Lester said Chanute has been building the fiber optic network since 1984 and is now among a few communities in Kansas to have such widely avail-able high speed broad-band capacities.
The network is one of the reasons that Spirit Aero Systems recently chose to locate a plant
there, Lester said. He be-lieves the network will make Chanute attractive to other high-wage busi-nesses and industries.
The system is also in use in the Chanute Pub-lic Library, the hospital, the city and county offices and several of the city’s industries. Community National Banks use the network for phone sys-tems and other inter-bank communications.
Broadband fiber optic systems are expensive to build, which is why large communication compa-nies such as Cox do not do so in towns the size of Chanute or Iola. They don’t see how they can earn enough from them in small towns to make the investment pay off, Lester said. Chanute was able to build its system using city employees over a long pe-riod of time, he explained.
Lester was introduced by Bill Maness, program chairman.

Have you ever stood at the edge of a pool of water and noticed how calm and serene it is? Then you toss in a pebble and the water ripples from one to another and another until the rip-ples reach the other side of the pool?
That ripple effect goes on every day in Iola.
Take, for example, the Citizens Involvement Task Force/Pride Group. This past summer alone, CITF/Pride spearheaded projects that have rippled into part-nerships with many other groups.
Second story windows in downtown Iola have come alive with paintings and curtains that spark many to wonder what lies behind them.
The group worked with Berkley Kerr and Iola Parks
Department to help paint trim around the Recreation Community Building and Iola Municipal Pool in Riv-erside Park. Members also worked with the Kiwanis Club to build forts and tug-boats as playground equip-ment.
The ripple continues with Thrive Allen County and its partnerships.
Thrive works with sev-eral groups in Allen Coun-ty and southeast Kansas. Thrive soon will co-host the Portland Alley Marathon
starting in Chanute, run-ning through Humboldt and ending in Iola.
Other civic organizations depend on support groups that work to improve their communities or bolster families in times of need.
We have USD 257 and its partnership with Windsor Place to develop the Age-to-Age Preschool. USD 257 also offers SAFE BASE ac-tivities, as well as programs through the Bowlus Fine Arts Center. The ripples from these educational op-portunities are nonstop.
The ripples grow into waves with the Extension and 4-H groups. Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts always have some sort of projects going on to teach leadership and provide service to the com-munities.
The waves continue with
Allen County Historical Society and preservation work that it does on a daily basis.
The Iola Area Cham-ber of Commerce is in the middle of the pool as the ripples come together and fan out as we partner with many of these programs. I am fortunate to have great members and ambassadors to help us move forward
When I am asked what is going on in Iola, I smile and reply with a question of my own: In what regard?
I know I have not begun to cover all the organiza-tions and groups that help improve the area. But, I hope I have given you enough information to cre-ate a thought process for each of you to reach out and see if you, too, can cre-ate a ripple effect.

Calvary UMW meetEleven Calvary United
Methodist Women mem-bers met Tuesday.
Hostesses Irene Smith and Kim Romig served re-freshments.
Smith offered the lesson, “We In The World,” about being thrifty and conserv-ing resources.
Evva Irwin assisted by reading Scripture from I Kings 17:8-16 and Carolyn Clubine read Scripture from John 6:32-35.
Clubine said conserva-tion might be easier for those raised during the Great Depression because life depended on being fru-gal.
Romig gave the devotion by reading a newspaper article welcoming the new UMC minister at Burling-ton. The Rev. Moon-Hee Chung began serving the church July 1.
She was a pastor at the First United Methodist Church, Manhattan, from 2003 until moving to Burl-ington.
Club officers agreed to keep the same positions they held last year. Jeanne Smith was appointed co-treasurer.
Members voted to raise the club’s budget for 2013 by $4. The budget will be finalized in October.
Members approved host-

Elizabeth Donnelly, chair of Allen County Crime Stoppers, said the organi-zation has become a use-ful weapon in the arsenal law enforcement officers have in their battle against crime.
“The police representa-tives and volunteers who help run our Crime Stop-pers program are dedicated individuals and have a com-mon goal to ensure our com-munity is safe,” Donnelly said. “We are proud of our successes and pleased to be part of a national organiza-tion that has achieved such
phenomenal results on a collective basis.”
Corporal Michael Ford, coordinator of the Allen County group, said the work of investigators must also be recognized in the success of the Crime Stop-pers program.
“It is important for peo-ple to call tips to Crime Stoppers, and it’s essential that investigators methodi-cally follow up on the infor-mation to gather all avail-able evidence and identify criminals who committed the crimes,” he said.
Those with information regarding unsolved crimes may call (800) 222-TIPS
(8477); or leave a tip via the Internet at www.allencoun-tycs.org by clicking on the tab “Submit a Web Tip” and filling in the blanks; or by sending a text to the word “Crimes” (274637).
There are instructions on how to text a tip located in the “Text a Tip” page. Any tip leading to the reso-lution of a crime makes the tipster eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.
All callers may remain anonymous.
Information also may be phoned to the Iola Police Department at 365-4960 or Allen County sheriff ’s of-fice, 365-1400.
Crime Stoppers celebrate successes TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Kansas Arts Founda-tion raised nearly $105,000 in its first year but made no allocations to local arts groups, according to doc-uments submitted to the Internal Revenue Service.
The IRS documents also show the foundation, which was created to se-cure private funds to sup-port the arts in the state, spent $15,000 of its $16,800 in expenses on receptions, The Topeka Capital-Jour-nal reported Friday.
“It takes a goodly amount of work to orga-nize a foundation,” said Linda Browning Weis, the foundation’s president. “We’ve been visiting with various communities.”
The organization ear-marked $20,000 to support the creation of a Kansas license plate to promote the arts, she said.
The Kansas Arts Foun-dation was formed before Gov. Sam Brownback ve-toed legislation last year that allocated $700,000 in state aid to the Kansas Arts Commission, which has been disbanded.
Brownback later pro-posed creating a Kansas Creative Arts Industries Commission, and the Leg-islature allocated $700,000 to the Kansas Department of Commerce to distrib-ute to arts through the new commission. The cre-ative arts commission has not yet had its first meet-ing.
Brownback’s veto of funding made Kansas the only state without a pub-
licly funded arts agency, leaving it ineligible for $1.2 million in annual fed-eral and regional match-ing grants from the Na-tional Endowment for the Arts and the Mid-America Arts Alliance.
Henry Schwaller, a past chairman of the Kansas Arts Commission, said the state aid and the foun-dation’s efforts to raise funds didn’t come close to covering the shortfall created by that loss of funding. He said the arts foundation would have to raise $100,000 a month to match assistance previ-ously made available by those two granting agen-cies.
“It shows just how dif-ficult it is to raise pri-vate sector money for the arts,” Schwaller said.
State Rep. Paul Davis, a Lawrence Democrat who opposed elimination of state aid to the arts, said he wasn’t surprised the foundation struggled to raise funds. Funding the Creative Arts Industries Commission might im-prove chances of renew-ing grant support from NEA and Mid-America, he said.
“That is really the key,” Davis said. “We have to be able to leverage that mon-ey to make this work.”
The state’s 2013 applica-tion to the NEA is due at the end of September, but Schwaller said state offi-cials hadn’t conducted the public outreach required to be considered for that federal support.
Report: New artsfoundation struggles
CASEVILLE, Mich. (AP) — Two Michigan sheriff ’s deputies can expect wedding invita-tions in their future for rescuing a couple who became stranded on an island during a meticu-lously planned, elaborate marriage proposal that apparently accounted for everything but bad weather.
Nathan Bluestein, Northville, and May Go-rial, Madison Heights, set out by canoe Saturday in Wild Fowl Bay near Ca-seville, about 110 miles north of Detroit, the Hu-ron County sheriff ’s de-partment said. Gorial, 32, accepted the proposal, but strong wind and waves kept them from returning to shore.
Bluestein, 27, told the Detroit Free Press that he had been planning the proposal for months. He tucked a message in a bottle inside a lunch bag that he brought on the trip.
“I made sure that she never could touch the lunch bag,” he said “I
had it around my arm the whole time.”
Inside the bottle was a sheet of paper, soaked in tea and burned around the edges, with a poem written in French. Go-rial, a French teacher at Bishop Foley Catholic High School in Madison Heights, began read-ing and translating the poem before finding a proposal written in Eng-lish on another piece of paper.
“The way I look at it ... she’s my best friend and the love of my life,” Blue-stein said.
The two talked and snapped pictures, and didn’t realize they were too far from land. They ended up on North Is-land and the sheriff ’s department sent the two deputies by boat from Ca-seville. Bluestein and Go-rial don’t have a wedding date set, but the deputies will definitely be invited to the event.
“If it wasn’t for them, we wouldn’t have seen the wedding day,” Gorial said.
Lovebirds saved after proposal goes awry
PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. (AP) — A woman says a 6-week-old kitten hitched a ride on the outside of her vehicle as she drove about 100 miles across New York.
Stacey Pulsifer said she recently drove from her home in Plattsburgh to Elizabethtown in the Ad-irondacks, then back to
her apartment. Along the way she stopped for coffee and heard meowing com-ing from her Jeep.
She asked two friends to help her search the vehicle. They finally found the kit-ten wedged behind a bum-per and had to cut it free.
She adopted the hitch-hiker, naming it Pumpkin.

Donna Houser needed some muscle to continue her artistry at the Allen County Historical Society this week.
Enter Mario Edelora and Raul Haro, employees at nearby El Charro Mexi-can Restaurant.
The pair helped move two items that had been a part of a display on an-tique medical equipment.
The items were an ex-amination table from the early 1900s and a doctor’s chair. The table weighs in at an estimated 500 pounds, Houser said; the chair an-other 200.
Aside from the sheer bulk, each has an assort-ment of moving parts, making both heavy and awkward to carry.
Both were placed in the museum window by a herd of volunteers this summer organized by for-mer museum director Jeff Kluever.
“After Jeff left, we didn’t know who to turn to for help,” Houser said.
Leon Harris, a museum
volunteer, quickly thought of Edelora and Haro, who took all of 30 minutes to carefully remove the items from the window and transport them to the Fred-erick Funston meeting hall on the opposite side of the courthouse square.
Edelora said he and Haro are eager to help the Historical Society again if need arises.
“All they need to do is ask,” he said.
Houser is serving as in-terim director until a per-manent director is hired.
Museum helpers lauded
Mario Edelora, left, and Raul Haro recently helped Allen County Historical Society members move a 500-pound table and 200-pound doctor’s chair.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Hur-ricane Isaac’s remnants dumped heavy rain on some key Midwest farming states, dramatically lessen-ing the drought there while corn-producing heavy-weights Iowa and Nebraska missed out on that mois-ture and saw their condi-tions worsen, according to a drought report released Thursday.
The U.S. Drought Moni-tor’s weekly report came as federal forecasters sep-arately warned that the worst drought in decades could persist for months in a large swath of the central and southern Plains, por-tions of the Rockies and much of California.
“Most of these areas are moving toward a climato-logically drier time of year, and there is no compelling indication that substantial-ly above-normal precipi-tation will fall during the next three months,” accord-ing to the National Weather Service’s Seasonal Drought Outlook.
That would be bad news
for Nebraska, which paid an especially high price for losing out on Isaac’s rain-fall as the storm moved northward through the central U.S. The area of that state deemed to be in exceptional drought — the highest classification — ballooned 47 percent, to 71 percent, in the seven-day period ending Tuesday, the latest Drought Monitor up-date showed.
In Iowa, the nation’s big-gest corn producer, the area of land deemed to be in exceptional or extreme drought rose 4 percentage points, to 62 percent.
When it comes to states getting moisture during this worst drought in two generations, “it’s just like it’s been all summer — there are the haves and the have-nots,” said Brian Fuchs, a National Drought Mitigation Center climatol-
ogist who authored Thurs-day’s update.
Even in states that got rain from Isaac — in some cases as much as 10 inches — the relief came far too late in the growing season to offer much help to with-ered corn crops, which al-ready are being harvested. But there was reason to cheer, as other crops such as soybeans still are matur-ing.
Southeast of St. Louis near Coulterville, Ill., Dean Campbell concedes “Isaac blessed us with some water,” by some ac-counts several inches. But that won’t save his 900-acre corn crop bound for being a bust. With about 40 per-cent of his harvest done, Campbell says he’s averag-ing a “very, very poor” 14 bushels per acre — a snip-pet of the 130 bushels he normally gets.

properly register to vote,” SAFE BASE director, An-gela Eyster said. “Our first session ends Nov. 8, which is longer than usual, but we wanted to capture the Nov. 6 elections.”
Some of the classes being offered are “Presidential Foods,” where students will get the opportunity to try favorite foods of past presi-dents, and even the foods they didn’t like.
In other classes students will learn how to be “White House Chefs” or what it takes to be a good leader.
“Blue Plate Special” is a cooking class on Wednes-days, where students will learn to prepare meals for their families, focusing on a particular fruit or vegeta-ble of the month.
On Nov. 5, they will have their first “Blue Plate Din-ner,” for which students will prepare a family and community dinner.
“It is the night before the election, so we will have a two-man group perform-ing a skit called ‘The Presi-dents,’” Henry said. “They will be doing 45 presidents in 45 minutes.”
Gardening will be a big focus for SAFE BASE stu-dents this year.
Thrive Allen County gave a grant to the program to build a high tunnel green-house that will go from east to west starting on the east side of the garden on Lin-
coln Street, Eyster said. “This way we can garden
all year round,” she said. “The goal is to supplement the cooking classes and the after-school snacks with what is grown.”
The greenhouse is ex-pected to go up in Novem-ber.
Presidential inspiration will even be spread to the trees. Espalier trees will be added to the garden this year, which may be seen at Thomas Jefferson’s Monti-cello in Virginia.
IN ADDITION to boost-ing patriotic morale this year, SAFE BASE also will enhance its social media presence on Facebook.
“If people like us on Facebook then not just parents, but family and friends in the community can keep up with what we are doing,” Eyster said. “We will be posting pic-tures on Facebook and keeping the page constant-ly updated.”
Keeping Facebook up-dated can help parents, especially the ones who
work, stay up to date with what their children are do-ing, according to Eyster.
To visit the site search for SAFE BASE in the Facebook search engine.
EACH YEAR, finding money to keep the pro-gram afloat is a “bit of a challenge,” Eyster said.
This year’s funding is from two main grants, the Healthcare Foundation of Greater Kansas City and the federal 21st Century.
“November, I start look-ing for the next way to get SAFE BASE funded,” Eyster said. “We turn over every rock.”
THERE ARE roughly 190 students enrolled to date and there is no deadline for applications.
“Students will come in on Monday and sign up,” Henry said.
“We are expecting a little over 200 students to be en-rolled.”

ernment has a vital role in pulling besieged Ameri-cans out of their economic ditch.
The candidates’ pitches during these conventions were a preview of the cam-paign rhetoric in the weeks ahead. The concepts they want chiseled into Ameri-can psyches were often plainspoken bromides for complex problems.
The conventions had two major goals: energize the party’s most ardent sup-porters and make others like and trust the candi-date.
Romney’s forces main-tain they expected little gain in the polls. Top strategist Stuart Stevens said that because the cam-paigns had been going full blast all summer, the public had little to learn about the candidates’ positions on is-
sues.A key convention goal
was to humanize Romney’s wooden, out-of-touch, rich-guy image. The convention featured wife Ann talking about “this boy I met at a high school dance,” and a video about her husband’s history of helping others.
Obama had a different mission: Show that his pol-icies were working, if slow-ly, and that he’s still the “hope and change” presi-dent. His soft side came from wife Michelle, who re-called how Barack Obama picked her up for dates in a rusted car where “I could actually see the pavement going by through a hole in the passenger-side door.”
Polls suggested Obama kept his edge in the likabil-ity sweepstakes. A bigger unknown remains how the appeals to the bases will play. Both parties adopted
unusually rigid ideological platforms, Democrats in an effort to appeal to liberals, Republicans to conserva-tives.
In such fierce, unpredict-able political combat, such non-economic issues could motivate just enough vot-ers to tip the race. The cam-paign will be fought largely in about a dozen states that appear too close to call.
The next big test comes in about a month, when the first Obama-Romney debate is scheduled. Ul-timately, the election is about the economy, and all about who can best do the job to revive it.
“Strip away all the var-nish and goodwill from the (convention) speakers,” said Republican Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, “and you’re going to get back to what Americans really care about.”

Opinion
Bill Clinton wound up his eight years in the White House with the national budget in balance and the national debt declining.
“When I am asked how I did that, I have a one-word answer: arithmetic,” he said.
Clinton’s 45-minute speech was full of forceful rhetoric. But none of his analysis was more to the point: the numbers must add up. National revenue must be greater than national spending to bring the deficit down.
President Obama’s budget plan calls for higher taxes on the wealthy, less spending on war and fewer loopholes and tax breaks that let revenues leak. Mitt Romney’s budget plan starts with another huge tax cut that will slash federal revenue by trillions and moves from there to higher spending on the military. As Clinton dry-ly observed, taking in less and spending more is a formula for bigger deficits and an even higher national debt.
Clinton warned his audi-ence the nation couldn’t afford a Republican administration that would “double down on trickle down.”
But his main theme was positive. He called for bipar-tisanship and cooperation. He praised the presidency of Dwight D. Eisenhower and not-ed that President Obama had appointed Republicans to his cabinet and had even appoint-ed Hillary Clinton secretary of state, despite the fact that they had opposed each other in the race for the 2008 Democratic nomination.
Clinton agreed that the economy was still struggling. He observed that Obama inher-ited a much weaker economy than he did when he took of-fice in 1993. No president could have repaired the damage in just four years, he said. “But conditions are improving and if you’ll renew the president’s contract, you will feel it (re-newed prosperity),” he said.
To emphasize that point, Clinton said Democratic presi-dents have created millions more jobs over the past 52 years than their Republican
counterparts. Since 1961, Re-publicans have held the White House for 28 years and Demo-crats for 24 years. The U.S. economy produced 66 million private sector jobs over that period. Forty-two million of them came during Democratic administrations, and 24 mil-lion came during Republican administrations, he said.
Still on the topic, Clinton said Obama’s decision to bail out the auto industry produced an additional 250,000 well-paid jobs building cars. Those jobs were created not just in Chrysler and General Motors and their dealerships, but also at auto parts manufacturing plants across the country. Rom-ney was a high-profile critic of the auto bailout who said the companies should have been allowed to go bankrupt and shut down.
Clinton also praised the Af-fordable Health Care Act. Be-cause the law requires health insurance companies to spend 80 percent of premiums they collect on health care rather than profits or promotion or give refunds to policy hold-ers, the companies have been forced to pay out more that $1 billion in refunds this year. The law also provides people between 19 and 26 coverage under their parents policies and expands preventive care coverage to seniors. Under the law, Medicaid will be expanded to cover millions who are now uncovered, and provide a de-pendable source of income to hospitals and medical clinics.
He also pointed out that Romney’s plan to increase Medicare spending by billions that Obama had trimmed from it would mean it would go broke eight years sooner.
THE FORMER president’s political rhetoric can cut like a razor even while his face is wreathed in smiles. Here may be his best zinger of the night: “The Republican election logic goes like this: We left the coun-try in an awful mess in 2008. Obama hasn’t cleaned it up fast enough. So toss him out and put us back in.”
— Emerson Lynn, jr.
Bill Clinton liftsDemocrat hopeswith fiery talk
I admired President Obama’s honesty Thursday night when he addressed the Democratic con-vention.
He admitted the country isn’t where he had hoped it would be by the end of his first term.
“I won’t pretend the path I’m offering is quick or easy; I never have.”
Truth is, as columnist David Brooks noted, “… we were cer-tainly worse off than we knew,” when Obama took office in 2009, because of a trajectory begun more than 40 years ago that in-cluded overspending and an un-sustainable system of entitle-ments, including Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, that all were laid bare when the financial crisis of 2008 came to roost.
“It will take more than a few years for us to solve challenges that have built up over decades,” Obama said.
And then he focused on how as a country we are on the right path to more than just economic recov-ery but also to a more just and fair society — for everyone.
Obama spoke in the collective sense, rather than as an individual.
“We built it” was the mantra for the recent Republican conven-tion — and speaker after speaker touted his or her individual suc-cesses or that of their ancestors.
The phrase is a retort to Obama’s speech about how gov-ernment programs are essential to everyone’s success. Schools, roads, post offices, health care, our Armed Forces — combine to allow us as individual citizens to start with a leg up.
To say we have become success-ful all by ourselves is to deny the benefits of family and commu-nity.
Each generation stands on the shoulders of the one that went be-fore.
SOCIAL PROGRAMS and other benefits have become so in-grained in our lives that most of us don’t even realize we’re feed-ing at the federal trough.
Most taxpayers, for example, look forward to deducting the in-terests on our home mortgages come tax time. That’s a tax credit enjoyed mainly by middle class workers. The wealthy own their homes outright. Republicans want to eliminate the benefit.
For the poor, their version of a tax credit is the earned income tax credit. In those cases, low-income workers get a refund on their taxes because they don’t make enough income to get them much above poverty. Republicans also want to eliminate that ben-efit.
If your children take advan-tage of the free- or reduced-priced breakfasts and lunches at the public school, you’re on the dole.
And more than once I’ve heard people disparage President Obama’s health care plan but then tell me how Medicare paid for a hip or knee replacement.
More and more, people are tak-ing advantage of government lar-gess, yet still claim they are lead-ing self-sufficient lives.
The numbers say otherwise.Today, the federal government
provides almost $1 in benefits for every $4 in other income.
The elderly benefit the most pri-marily through Social Security and Medicare. But with a growing segment of our population falling
behind faster, services such as Medicaid are being depended on more and more.
Americans’ dependence on gov-ernment benefits has more than doubled since 1969.
The top three benefits are So-cial Security, Medicare and Med-icaid. In all three programs, the citizens of Allen County receive almost double the national aver-age of benefits, illustrating our demographics of being poorer and older than the national aver-age.
Aid to low-income families through food stamps, disability payments and the earned income tax credit in southeast Kansas average $920 a year, up from $128 about 40 years ago.
THE BEST WAY to battle the dependency on government pro-grams is to raise the living stan-dards of our poor. Poverty is the number one cause of poor atten-dence at schools, for poor atten-dance at work, for the breakdown of the family.
Yes, we need to bring down skyrocketing health care costs. Health insurance premiums are ridiculously expensive. Medical specialists demand outrageous fees coupled with unnecessary tests and surgeries. And many prescription drugs are way over-priced.
Until all three industries — pharmaceutical, medical, and insurance — are regulated, we’ll be at their mercy to pay whatever they charge.
Tough answers remain for myr-iad problems.
It’s exactly during these times the truth is what we need most.
As our president said, “You didn’t elect me to tell you what you wanted to hear. You elected me to tell you the truth.”
Gulp.
Truth can be a bitter medicine to swallowSusanLynnRegistereditor
A couple of months after his 22nd birthday, Iolan Fred An-derson and another GI, weapons at hand, lounged against a palm tree on a Leyte beach in the Phil-ippines.
Their mission that sunny Oc-tober day in 1944 was to provide security for what proved to be a signature — and much publicized — event of World War II.
As Anderson and his buddy watched, Gen. Douglas MacAr-thur waded ashore, fulfilling his promise of two years earlier to return to the Philippines.
Anderson, who died this week at age 90, never forgot the event, and if his memory might have gotten a little foggy in later life, he had a memento to remind him of his place in history. A photo-graph published in Life magazine a few days after MacArthur’s re-turn clearly showed Anderson and the other GI in the back-ground.
At the time the photo was snapped, Anderson rather would have been relaxing in camp, wait-ing his turn for a shower and hot food, an everyday occurrence he had taken for granted before the war but which became an event in itself during his time in the Pacific.
Anderson was involved in sev-eral landings in the Allies’ march through a series of islands en route to the defeat of Japan. Some nights were cut short by missions to ambush Japanese patrols in the thick jungles. Often his bed was a shallow depression in a sea
of sand that gnawed at his skin.
AFTER THE war Anderson returned to Iola, married Norma Meredith and settled into every-day life.
He worked as a bookkeeper for Bud White Motors and Cyrus Truck Line, and never made any big splashes in work-a-day Iola. His time back home was the same as most others who gave two, three, even four years of their lives — or all of what was to re-main — to ensure democracy was preserved.
Anderson was a friend of mine, and a friend of many.
I never saw him without a smile. He always took time to visit.
Fred Anderson was Iola’s ev-eryman, among the legions who in their own ways and times have made this little corner of the world such a delightful place to live.

cause they really like musi-cals.”
The story follows a young Broadway understudy por-trayed by Emmaline Durand of Humboldt intent on being a star. Her theater, however, is about to be torn down so an-other site must be found — a ship.
Archie Huskey, a Lincoln native who has several rela-tives in the Iola area, portrays Dick, Durand’s love interest.
Other leading roles feature the talents of Bri Holliday and Mariah Nunley, Topeka, Nathan Hill, Allen, Michael De Los Santos, Ottawa, and Anthony Ellis, Colony.
Ted Clous, ACCC music di-rector, will oversee the musi-cal accompaniment.
“We certainly should be able to put on a clean show,”
McKinnis said. “We’ve got some good singers and lots of good production numbers.”
Clous has been an invalu-able contributor, McKinnis said, from working with the students “on how to sing for a musical versus singing in a choir.”
THE ACTING troupe takes on Jeffrey Hatcher’s adapta-tion of “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” Nov. 29-Dec. 1 at the Al-len College Theatre.
Hatcher’s story differs from Robert Louis Steven-son’s classic tale in that sev-eral ensemble characters will get an opportunity to portray Mr. Hyde, depending on who is possessing a cryptic cane.
“It’s a great story; a psy-chological mystery,” Piazza said. “I’m excited about it.”
THE COLLEGE will once again feature the works of Iola playwright Nic Olson Feb. 28-March 2 with “Nic At Night,” a series of short stories all penned by Olson, including a longer, 30-minute romantic comedy “So, This One Time.”
Piazza will direct the lon-ger show. The students them-selves will serve as directors for the shorter skits.
“We did a reading of (‘So, This One Time’) in the spring and it was very well received,” Piazza said. “It was sharp and funny and re-ally didn’t need much of any-thing.”
THE SPRING production has another musical slant with “33 Variations,” a look at the latter stages of composer Ludwig van Beethoven’s life.
The play offers parallel tales of a musicologist and her attempts to understand why Beethoven spent the last few years of his life creating 33 variations of an ordinary waltz by a composer he re-ally didn’t respect, Piazza ex-plained.
The story weaves the mu-sicologist’s story with that of Beethoven’s life, while a third story follows that of the mu-sicologist’s daughter and her life.
Tying the story together is Beethoven’s music, played by Clous on a single piano on stage.
“It really ties together very well,” Piazza said.
AS HAS become custom at ACC, “Lighten Up,” the college’s improv troupe will perform the first Wednesday
after each production at the College Theatre. There, stu-dents will perform a number of unscripted scenes and games, relying solely on their creativity.
“Of course, being college humor, it’s probably geared more for older audiences,” Piazza said.
The improv troupe works under the guidance of Terri Piazza, Tony’s wife and fel-low drama instructor.
THE COLLEGE wraps up the season June 21-22 with “45 Minutes From Broadway,” the college’s summer theater in the park production.
Piazza opted for a musi-cal instead of the traditional
melodramas of the past sev-eral summers.
“We’ve done Shakespeare in the park, we’ve done melo-dramas,” Piazza said. “I fig-ured it was time to try a mu-sical.”
Clous again will assist with “45 Minutes,” another “musical within a musical” type of show, Piazza said.
“He’s a player. He loves to play,” Piazza said.
The show will feature a number of musical stan-dards, such as “Yankee Doo-dle Dandy,” “You’re a Grand Ole Flag” and “Send My Re-gards to Broadway.”
“We’ve got a strong group of actors,” Piazza said. “It should be a fun season.”

operating ambulances, in-cluding Iola firefighters/emergency medical techni-cians, cost increased to $1.22 million.
Inflation would be a factor, but with one service the sup-position is cost would be in the range of what the county has budgeted for 2013.
Jason Nelson, county di-rector, said as much earlier this year when he proposed that with current county am-bulances and crews he could cover all of the county at no additional cost.
FOR 30 YEARS Allen County had one service with volunteers in Humboldt and Moran operating ambulanc-es, and firefighters, trained as emergency medical tech-nicians, operating those dis-patched from Iola’s fire de-partment.
That changed about five years ago when the county opted to take full control, with its employees operating from the three towns, a move that led to Iola starting its own service.
The county continued
to provide an ambulance subsidy of $80,000 a year to Iola, which now comes from county general fund coffers and isn’t reflected in its am-bulance budget line item.
In spring 2009, at the be-hest of new county commis-sioners Gary McIntosh and Rob Francis, efforts were made to reach some accord that would put all ambulanc-es again under one thumb. Efforts failed.
At the start of this year, county commissioners appointed a committee, with representatives from throughout the county, to tackle the issue once more.
When no headway was forthcoming, committee members asked for the state to take a look, and an 85-page report resulted.
In the Board of Emergen-cy Services report, strengths and weaknesses of each ser-vice were outlined, and fig-ures concerning operations, expenses and revenue were
illuminated. Options in the report were
for two services to remain, for them to merge or service to be done by an outside pro-vider.
PRIOR TO Williams’ mo-tion, Vada Aikins, Humboldt councilman, noted Allen County spent “many thou-sands of dollars” for its am-bulance station on North State Street and “provides service as high as it can go” with type I, which requires a paramedic to be on each run.
She recalled that Nelson said earlier the county could provide service to all of the county, including Iola, with-out spending any more mon-ey.
“I think we’ve had long enough” for discussion, she added, and moved for “one service for Allen County un-der the county. That would save money and gives the best quality care at no more cost.”
No second immediately occurred.
Then Dick Works, coun-ty commission chairman, spoke up.
“I would love it,” he said of Aikins’ proposal. “For 30 years Allen County was the sole provider. Five years ago Iola decided to duplicate ser-vice, and provides a lower level of service” to Iola resi-dents.
Early in the meeting, Con-away attempted to dispel concerns about Iola’s service not being type I, which re-quires a paramedic on every run. He said Iola had a num-ber of paramedics and pur-posely didn’t staff all runs with the highest level of care because it wasn’t necessary, in such cases as a transfer from Allen County Hospital to a nursing home.
Conaway said 90 percent of runs don’t require a para-medic.
Thompson said a para-medic had state-approved ability to do advanced as-sessment of patients and administer drugs that emer-gency medical technicians legally couldn’t.
Before he capped the meet-ing with the proposal for a merger, Williams said the re-port leaned toward combin-ing the two services.
“We need to think out of the box,” he said, “and blend the two services to the bene-fit of all citizens in the coun-ty at the least cost. Let’s try to think of something new.”
Bill Maness, former Iola mayor, agreed that a hybrid service in a merger scenario incorporating the strengths of each would better serve the county.
Weaknesses of each also should be considered in any merger effort, Thompson said.

Mustangs toss Trojans in Pioneer openerBy JOCELYN SHEETS
[email protected] — Iola High’s
Mustangs opened the Pioneer League era with a resounding 40-28 win on the road Friday night.
The Mustangs dominated host Osawatomie High’s Trojans early and answered each Trojan rally. Iola scored 21 points in the first five and half minutes of the game.
Osawatomie battled back on back-to-back touchdowns in the first quarter. The Trojans utilized their passing game with a strong northern wind behind them.
Iola was up 21-13 at the end of the first quarter.
Mustang head coach Doug Kerr talked earlier this week about putting up a lot of points early. That’s what the Mustangs did and staved off comeback threats by the Trojans.
“We dominated on both sides of the ball from the start but part of the process of turning this pro-gram around is learning how to win,” Kerr said after he saw the Mustangs improve to 2-0 on the 2012 season.
“We’re not there yet but we’re learning. I laid into them pretty good at halftime after we got out to a big lead and let them come back on us. We have to finish it and we coached them up pretty hard in the second half.”
Iola rolled up 482 yards of of-fense — 385 coming on the ground. John Whitworth rushed for 163 yards on 14 carries and scored two touchdowns. Jacob Rhoads had 83 yards on 10 carries.
Tyler McIntosh started the ball rolling for Iola with a 33-yard run on his way to 75 yards total for the

FORT SCOTT — With coaches handing out cups of water to pour over their heads, Iola High’s cross country runners and others endured Thursday afternoon’s humid conditions and high tem-peratures at Fort Scott High’s In-vitational.
The Mustangs claimed second in varsity and junior varsity rac-es. The Fillies again ran just two in the varsity girls’ race.
“We had several who struggled with the conditions. We handed cups of water to pour over their heads during the race,” said Mar-vin Smith, Iola High’s head coach.
“We had several athletes who had significantly better races than the week before and some dropped off from last week. So much of the races depended on the effects of heat and humidity.
“We ran rather conservatively due to the heat,” he said about the Mustang varsity.
Labette County won the varsity boys’ team title with 23 points. Iola was second with 33 points, followed by Prairie View with 97
points and Frontenac with 104 points. There were 17 schools at the meet.
Jeremy Spears ran No. 1 for the Mustang varsity, claiming the third-place medal in 19 minutes, 1 second for the 5K race. Trent Latta picked up a medal finishing fourth in 19:14, followed by Tyler Powelson in sixth at 19:51.
“Kohl Endicott was 14th when he came past me with a half mile to go and I implored him to hang on to his spot because he was about spent,” Smith said. “He went around the lake and came out of the trees in 10th place. Kohl had a very good race.”
Endicott was the fourth Mus-tang to earn a medal, taking 10th in 20:04. Blaine Klubec was 19th in 21:20 followed by Michael Wil-son in 20th at 21:24 and Gerardo Rojas in 40th at 24:47.
Smith said he was happy with Klubek’s race since the coaches had Klubek miss practices for almost two weeks to get over leg problems. Smith said Klubek and Wilson ran together for most of Thursday’s race.

In position to make a save is Allen Community College’s Keelie Arbuckle in Thursday’s home soccer game against visiting Northeastern Oklahoma, Miami, Okla. Arbuckle made 12 saves in goal for the Red Devil women in a 3-0 loss. Story on women’s and men’s games is on B4.

MORAN — A hotly anticipated early season matchup gave fans of both schools everything they want-ed and more Friday evening.
When the dust settled, host Mar-maton Valley High capped a thrill-ing comeback, outscoring visiting Crest High 24-8 in the fourth quar-ter to win 46-42.
The victory wasn’t secure until Marmaton Valley’s Daylen Houk plowed in from two yards out with 3:11 left in the game to take a 44-42 lead. Cole Becker’s two-point run pushed the margin to four.
Wildcat defensive Back Carlos Gonzales then stepped in front of a Kyle Hammond pass at the Mar-maton Valley 20-yard line with less than two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter to erase Crest’s final scoring chance.
Marmaton Valley’s Cole Becker promptly followed the pick with an 18-yard run, enough to allow Mar-maton Valley to kneel on the ball and run out the clock.
Becker’s run was fitting. The se-nior tailback steamrolled his way to 324 yards on the ground on 34 carries. As a team, Marmaton Val-

game. He scored Iola’s first touchdown of the night with 11:12 left in the first quarter. It capped a 75-yard drive in four plays.
Game on for the Mus-tangs.
Iola continued its short kickoff pattern. The Mus-tangs recovered the football on the ensuing kickoff.
The Mustangs marched 48 yards in six plays to paydirt. Quarterback Ma-son Coons bulled his way over from two yards out. Kaden Macha ran in the two-point conversion and Iola was up 14-0.
Osawatomie’s offense finally got on the field but four plays and the Trojans gave it back to Iola. Coons found Adam Kauth for 36 yards to set up a third touchdown.
Kauth went in untouched from three yards out. Isa-ias Macias kicked the extra
point and the Mustang lead was 21-0 at the 6:43 mark of the first quarter.
Trojan quarterback Aus-tin Chisam had a hand in three of his team’s four touchdowns. He hit a short slant pass to Deven Ayres and Ayres did the rest.
The scoring play went for 25 yards.
Iola fumbled the football back to the Trojans on its next play from scrimmage. Osawatomie went 42 yards on seven plays. The Trojan overcame three penalties in the drive.
Chisam connected with Riley England on a 19-yard scoring pass. It came on a fourth-and-goal play from Iola’s 19.
Iola’s Devon Burton blocked the extra-point kick leaving it 21-13 with 1:37 left in the first quarter.
The Mustangs scored the lone touchdown of the second period. They went 52 yards and Whitworth scored on a three-yard run.
Just before halftime,
Chisam got loose and dashed toward the end zone. Iola was able to push him out of bounds two yards shy of the goal line. That ended the half.
Kerr was not happy with his defense going into the locker room. He said the Mustangs lost focus and needed to get it back.
“We made some mistakes defensively. We asked some guys to play positions they hadn’t played before and we were out of position on the two pass plays,” Kerr said.
Osawatomie came out and went to work on the ground using fullback Matt Lofling. But Chisam went to the air and this time Iola was in the right spot.
McIntosh intercepted the football and returned it to the Iola 21-yard line. Before play began again, Io-la’s Bryce Misenhelter and Osawatomie’s Zack Owens were ejected from the game.
The Mustangs quickly turned the turnover into points. Whitworth gashed
the Trojan defense on a 36-yard touchdown run.
Osawatomie came back again. Lofling led the way up the middle and scored on a six-yard run with 32 seconds left in the third quarter.
Iola was driving and in control but lost another fumble. But Lofling fum-bled it back and Eric Hef-fern recovered the ball for the Mustangs with 5:44 left in the contest.
Five plays later, Coons capped a final touchdown drive for Iola.
Osawatomie would take over four minutes to score its final touchdown. A six-yard run by Chisam, who ended up with 147 yards rushing on 24 carries.
Iola is 2-0 overall for the first time in over 20 years.
“We have work to do to get ready for Coffeyville. But the kids gave great ef-fort again tonight,” Kerr said.
The Mustangs head to Coffeyville next Friday.

Cubs rock Jayhawks
HUMBOLDT — Hum-boldt High continues to be rather rude hosts to visit-ing teams, particularly on defense.
The Cubs limited visit-ing Jayhawk-Linn High to 114 yards of total offense in a 46-6 thumping.
The victory marks the second lop-sided home win in a row for Humboldt on the young season.
The Cubs did plenty of damage through the air. Quarterback Nathan Whit-comb rolled up 225 passing yards, including five com-pletions to Trey Johnson for 125 yards.
The ground game ac-counted for the first 19 points of the game for the Cubs, however.
Whitcomb ran in a one-yard sneak to open the scor-ing, followed by a pair of runs by Jacob Carpenter, covering 16 and five yards.
Whitcomb found John-son on a 67-yard pass play for another score before running in another one-yard quarterback sneak to lead 32-0.
Jayhawk-Linn scored its only points in the third quarter — and the only points the Cubs have al-lowed this season — be-fore Tanner McNutt scored twice for Humboldt to cap the scoring. McNutt hauled in a 28-yard Whitcomb pass, then ran in a 48-yard inter-ception return.
“I was real proud of the kids’ effort,” Cub head coach K.B. Criss said. “The kids came out and played well in the first half. We weren’t as sharp in the
third quarter, but they picked it back up in the fourth quarter.”
Carpenter ran for 102 yards on 17 carries. Whit-comb had 34 yards on nine totes.
Blake Crawford had 62 yards on three receptions. McNutt’s two catches cov-ered 38 yard.
Carpenter and Ryan Gean led the Cub defense with 10 and nine tackles, respectively. McNutt and Justin Meins intercepted Jayhawk passes. Johnson recovered a fumble and Noah Thornbrugh regis-tered a quarterback sack.
The Cubs will hit the road for the first time in 2012 next Friday at Neode-sha.Humboldt 13-19-0-14—46Jayhawk-Linn 0-0-6-0—6

ley churned out 487 rushing yards.
“I thought our offensive line played very well,” Wild-cat head coach Kent Houk said. “I can remember one play where Nathan Smart (offensive lineman) was blocking 30 yards downfield on a run. He blocked his tail off tonight.”
Crest looked every bit like it was headed for the win column, taking advan-tage of Marmaton Valley miscues in the first half to take the lead, then extend-ing its advantage on several long pass and run plays in the third quarter.
Kyle Hammond, again, was at the center of it all for Crest. Hammond rushed touchdowns covering 29 and 57 yards, completed touchdowns covering 63 and 31 yards to Jordan Mor-ton and running back a Wildcat kickoff 75 yards for another score.
Hammond’s 57-yard run with 10:04 left in the game put the Lancers on top 42-30.
But Marmaton Valley ad-justed its formations slight-ly in the second half, Houk said, which forced Crest to move Hammond from safe-ty to a linebacker position.
“Crest played hard,” Coach Houk said.
Lancer head coach Brent Smith was disappointed in the outcome, but optimistic about what lies ahead.
“We became a better football team tonight,” Smith said. “Tonight, the guys saw what they were capable of. The spectators who watched got to see what probably was one of the better football games in southeast Kansas.”
Hammond gave Crest a 6-0 lead midway through the first quarter before Marmaton Valley’s Jimmy
Frye scored on a 12-yard run with 4:44 left in the first. Frye’s two-point run gave the Wildcats an 8-6 lead.
Marmaton Valley lost two other scoring opportu-nities on downs in Lancer territory in the first half, and a muffed punt return set up Crest at midfield midway through the second quarter. An offside penalty gave Crest a key first down, then Hammond plowed over on a six-yard run on a fourth-and-three play a short while later. That led to Morton’s 31-yard touch-down pass to Brock Ellis with 4:34 left in the half.
Crest led 12-8 at halftime and 34-22 at the end of the third period.
“We tried shooting our-selves in the foot so many ways tonight,” Wildcat head coach Kent Houk said. “But the guys fought throught it.”
Houk added 85 yards on
15 carries for Marmaton Valley, while Frye rushed 14 times for 77 yards. On defense, Becker and Houk each had nine tackles. Smart registered seven stops.
Hammond rushed for 181 yards on 21 carries, while completing five passes for 109. Morton had three re-ceptions for 96 yards. Jesse Boone registered 15 tackles, wihle Clayton Miller had 14 stops (11 solo) for Crest. Ellis added 14 tackles and Hammond had 10 stops.
Both coaches stressed the importance of putting this week’s emotional game behind them.
“We know we have areas we need to work on,” Kent Houk said as the Wildcats prepare to host Randolph Blue Valley. “Their offense is a lot like Crest’s so we better be ready to play.”
“We know our district play doesn’t start for a cou-ple of weeks,” Smith said.
“I’m proud of the effort we gave tonight. The guys have nothing to hang their heads about.”Crest 6-6-22-8—42MV 8-0-14-24—46

Yates Center High had one individual runner in each of the varsity races Thursday. Both earned medals.
In the boys’ varsity 5K race, Humboldt’s Ethan Bartlett paced the Cubs to a third-place finish out of five teams. Bartlett garnered the 10th-place medal with a time of 19 minutes, 16 seconds.

INDEPENDENCE — Not a good day was had by all.
Iola High’s Fillies weren’t able to put things together on the tennis courts at Inde-pendence Thursday.
Iola did not win a match at the meet hosted by Inde-pendence High School.
“We made a ton of errors — silly mistakes and basic fundamental errors cost us a lot of points,” said Jenni-fer Bycroft, Fillies’ tennis coach. “The girls were more sluggish than usual. We hope to turn that around next Thursday at Chanute.”
Iola’s No. 1 singles play-er Katana Smith dropped three 8-0 decisions. Those were to Fort Scott’s Mi-chelle Buntain, Indepen-dence’s Abbi Groff and Chanute’s Madison Wendt.
Katana Smith also lost 8-1 to Katy Short of Pittsburg.
Megan Smith battled but lost four matches. She lost 8-0 to Corina Harrison of Fort Scott. Megan Smith’s best match was an 8-4 loss to Ashlyn Conner of Inde-pendence. She lost 8-2 to Pittsburg’s Brittney Wilde
and lost 8-1 to Chanute’ Abby Liudahl.
Iola’s No. 1 doubles team Abbey St. Clair and Alexis Hobbs had a good match against Pittsburg’s Pichler and Curlee before losing 8-5. They lost 8-0 to Fort Scott’s Crain and Harrison, to Independence’s Porter and Welch and to Chanute’s Thuston and Bearrick.
Shelby Reno and Bobbi Sinclair played as the Fil-lies’ No. 2 doubles team. They lost three matches 8-2 to Fort Scott’s Savage and Hightower, to Indepen-
dence’s Julian and Mendo-za and to Chanute’s Ungles and Stair. Reno and Sinclair lost 8-2 to Long and Baden of Pittsburg.
The Iola varsity travels to Chanute next Thursday.
EARLIER in the week, Iola’s junior varsity players competed at Parsons.
Holly Schomaker finished fourth in the No. 1 singles di-vision with a 1-2 mark. Her win was a 6-4 decision over Dezi Rash of Labette County. Schomaker lost 6-3 to Olivia Laidler of Pittsburg and 62-
to Emily Gatewood of Par-sons.
“Holly is a senior but this was her first competitive tennis match. She placed the ball extremely well and showed hustle out there,” said Bycroft.
Brittany Porter played in the No. 2 singles spot and lost 6-1 to Labette County’s Kiersten Salisbury and to Averey Wood of Neodesha by the same score. Fort Scott’s Emmah Reeves beat Porter 6-0.
Shelby Brown and Ka-leena Smith wee Iola’s No. 1 doubles team. They lost 6-0 to both Pittsburg’s Sul-livan and Cicero and to Fort Scott’s Root and Davis. Neodesha’s Chilcott and McDonald beat Brown and Smith 6-2.
In No. 2 doubles, Iola’s Jessica Adams and Judy Branstetter lost 6-0 to Neodesha’s Coots and Ven-egas and to Stephans and Gandhi of Parsons. Adams has health issues so in the third match Branstetter was teamed up with a play-er from Parsons and lost to Labette County’s Brothers and Mulay.
Iola High’s Megan Smith hits a return shot in a home match recently. The Fillies played at Independence Thursday.

Iola Middle School’s sev-enth-and eighth-grade foot-ball teams fell to the Bull-dogs’ bite on Thursday.
In a 12-12 game and In-dependence Middle School looking at a fourth-down and forever situation, the Ponies couldn’t pen up the Bulldogs. A reverse play to Jaquavon Folks went 68 yards for the go-ahead touchdown.
A final drive by the sev-enth-grade Ponies was halt-ed with an interception. The Bulldogs beat Iola 18-12 scoring the final touchdown with 2:40 left in the game.
The Ponies scored first in the contest on a 70-yard kickoff return by Nick Vaughn to start the game. It was 6-6 at halftime.
Independence stripped the football from Iola’s quarterback Evan Sigg and returned it 80 yards for a touchdown. Sigg led the Ponies right back hitting Isaac Vink over the middle for a 25-yard touchdown pass at the 4:30 mark of the fourth quarter.
“For the first time out, there were a lot more posi-tives than negatives. We’ll learn from this and get bet-ter,” said Marty Taylor, IMS head football coach.
Sigg rushed for 71 yards on 15 carries and completed
3 of 7 passes for 49 yards. Ethan Holloway caught two for 24 yards and Vink had the touchdown reception.
Cale Barnhart had 67 yards on 13 carries.
Defensively for the sev-enth grade, Matt Komma had five tackles and Sigg had four. Holloway recov-ered a fumble. Barnhart had three tackles.
IOLA AND Indepen-dence were locked in a 6-6 game heading into the third quarter of the eighth-grade contest. The Bulldogs took over for four minutes to start the third quarter.
Independence scored 20 points and went on to win 26-12.
Seth Sanford scored on a two-yard run in the second
quarter for Iola. Chase Re-gehr hauled in a three-yard scoring pass from Ben Coo-per late in the third quarter.
“All but those four min-utes, these kids played pret-ty good football,” Taylor said. “This group has come a long way from the first game last season.
Sanford and Nate Evans each rushed for 48 yards and Mason Snavely had 24 yards rushing. Cooper was 8 of 16 for 71 yards passing.
Regehr caught six passes for 50 yards, Garrett Wade had one reception for 14 and Evans caught one for seven yards.
Regehr had five tackles and a fumble recovery. San-ford had five tackles and Ethan Scheibmeir had four tackles.

Watching his header go into the goal is Allen Community College’s Dorian Fox (right) in front of a Northeastern Oklahoma defender in Thurs-day’s home game for the Red Devils. This goal was waved off by officials just after the game began but Fox would come back later in the first half and score the only goal of the game for a 1-0 win for ACC.

When you beat against the gates long enough, the floodgates will open. That’s what happened Thursday afternoon to Allen Com-munity College’s Red Devil women.
After a scoreless first half, visiting Northeast-ern Oklahoma’s women
kept sending shots on goal against Allen’s goalkeeper Keelie Arbuckle. Arbuckle made save after save after save.
NEO is from Miami, Okla.
Then with about 25 min-utes left in the soccer game, NEO scored a goal then came a penalty kick goal. NEO went on to win 3-0
against the Allen women.Arbuckle was credited
with 12 saves in goal. Al-len’s offensive attack in the second half didn’t have much power and didn’t put pressure on the NEO goal-keeper.
Allen’s men appeared to score within the first two minutes of their game against NEO but the goal
was wiped off the board for a rules violation. The Red Devils kept coming at the NEO goalkeeper and finally scored in the first half.
Dorian Fox scored the goal off a pass by Jhovany Baltazer. That lone goal held up for a 1-0 win over NEO.
ACC men’s goalkeeper Jordan Drake recorded his
second straight shutout. He had five saves.
The Allen men improved to 2-0 on the season. Allen’s women dropped to 0-3.
The Red Devil squads play at home today in a doubleheader with Cowley Community College of Ar-kansas City. The women’s game is a 2 p.m. followed by the men’s contest.

TOPEKA — In his open-ing remarks Thursday at the Kansas Summit on Obe-sity, Gov. Sam Brownback focused on what it takes for a person to lose weight.
“It’s the two E’s: eating and exercise. It’s not really complicated in my estima-tion,” Brownback told about 225 health workers, govern-ment officials and members of the Governor’s Council on Fitness, who gathered for the first time in four years to discuss one of the state’s top health concerns.
Then, after six hours of presentations and dis-cussion on the latest ap-proaches to reducing obe-sity, the governor used his closing remarks to issue a new directive to the state’s top health officer, Dr. Rob-ert Moser, secretary of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.
“I got a couple things out of this today that I want to address already. I’m go-ing to assign Bob Moser to assess all the state facili-
ties and our cafeterias for healthier lifestyle options — food and healthy activi-ty,” Brownback said, spark-ing applause and cheers.
“In the CDC’s assessment they said they needed to lead by example,” Brown-back said referring to a presentation by Dr. William Dietz, former director of nutrition, physical activity and obesity at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “Well, we need to lead by example. I don’t think we’ve focused on it. We look at the numbers and we say this is terrible, but then we don’t lead by exam-ple. It’s time we do.”
The governor also said by the first of the year his administration would be an-nouncing an incentive-based walking program to encour-age teams across the state to form and participate.
And Brownback accepted a challenge from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas chief executive Andrew Corbin to walk five miles with him on a state trail of the gov-ernor’s choice in exchange
for a Blue Cross donation for the trail’s maintenance.
“That’s the sort of thing I want to see us do,” Brown-back said. “Let’s get out and let’s have some fun, get people active and get their blood going.”
High costs of obesityThe statistics on obesity
were laid out in detail by Dietz:
• 64 percent of Kansas adults are overweight or obese,
• 30 percent of Kansas adults are obese,
• Obesity costs the U.S. nearly $150 billion annually — or 9 percent of medical costs,
• In Kansas, $1.3 billion per year is spent on obe-sity-related ailments such as Type II diabetes, heart disease and other complica-tions, and
• Obesity is a factor in nearly 80 percent of pre-ventable deaths, the second leading factor in the state behind tobacco.
“Virtually every system in the body is affected by
obesity,” Dietz said. “And these costs don’t show the personal costs of obesity — the discrimination of obe-sity, the painfulness of obe-sity, the under-performance at work, the increased ab-senteeism at work. There are estimates that suggest those costs are at least as much as the direct costs of obesity.”
Dietz said Americans tend to eat too few foods that help reduce weight and too much of those that are fattening. The average American, he said, eats:
• 280 percent of the rec-ommended daily level of solid fats and sugars,
• 200 percent of the rec-ommended amount of re-fined grains, and
• 149 percent of the rec-ommended amount of so-dium.
But when it comes to healthy options, Americans only eat:
• 15 percent of the recom-mended amount of whole grains,
• 59 percent of the recom-mended amount of vegeta-
bles, and• 42 percent of the recom-
mended amount of fruits.
Creating new normsMark Thompson, who
oversees health initiatives at the Kansas Department of Education, said his agen-cy was working to change those trends in schools.
“What we’re really work-ing toward is creating the new norm — so that when parents go into schools they aren’t surprised that they can’t buy a sugar bever-age. That when kids go into schools, they aren’t sur-prised that they can’t buy a candy bar. That that is the norm and they don’t think twice about it — the same way we think in terms of tobacco now,” Thompson said.
Dietz said physical activ-ity tends to be restricted — not encouraged — in work-places and schools.
“We’ve taken physical education and recess out of schools,” he said. “We’ve become increasingly car-reliant. We’ve shifted our work from manual labor to desk-related labor. And the impact of lack of physical activity is substantial. It’s a major contributor to obe-sity and the co-morbidities
of obesity.”Dietz said the recom-
mended levels of physical activity were:
• 60 minutes of moderate or vigorous aerobic activity at least three days per week for children.
• 150 minutes of moder-ate or 75 minutes of vigor-ous aerobic activity per week for adults.
“But less than 1 percent of the public know that these are the recommended doses of physical activity,” he said.
Using resources prudentlyAgencies will need to
work more closely together to help deal with the prob-lem, Moser said.
“Obviously the state’s been facing limited re-sources for a while. Going forward more inter-agency collaboration has been Gov. Brownback’s push from the beginning,” he said.
KDHE could work with the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tour-ism to encourage physical activity, he said.
“People work, live, play, pray in a number of differ-ent environments and all those settings have to be ad-dressed as we go forward,” Moser said.
Brownback’s advice to obesity conference: Eat less, exercise more

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — You thought Barack and Mitt were fierce presi-dential candidates? Try Ahpun the polar bear and Denali the wolf.
The Alaska Zoo, in what it acknowledges is shame-less promotion and fund-raising ploy, is conducting an election between Ahpun (ah-POON’) and Denali. The winner will claim zoo presidency, according to de-velopment director Eileen Floyd, who introduced the candidates Wednesday.
The election is about who will best represent the Alaska Zoo for the next four years, she said.
“I assure you this race is not about the color of their fur, their gender, or even a species issue,” Floyd said.
The early favorite would appear to be Ahpun, given her iconic status as mon-arch of the Arctic and the millions in free publicity from Coca-Cola commer-cials.
Ahpun has been at the zoo since she was 3 months old. She was found or-phaned near Point Lay on the Chukchi Sea coast about 700 miles northwest of Anchorage. She’s likely to receive the sympathy vote — polar bears in 2008 were added to the threat-ened species list because of climate warming and shrinking Arctic Ocean sea ice. Climate models consid-ered by federal agencies indicate the species may disappear from U.S. waters this century.
Denali, on the other hand, is fighting stereo-types promoted by the likes of Little Red Riding Hood and The Three Little Pigs.
His kind is more abun-dant in Alaska but appar-ently not beloved by mem-bers of the Alaska Board of Game, which sets hunting seasons in the state. Hun-dreds of wolves, plus black and grizzly bears, continue to be systematically killed under authorization of the board and policies aimed at increasing moose and cari-bou populations.
But Denali is not without support. He has his own Su-per Pack — several siblings brought to the zoo with him when they were orphaned near McGrath in interior Alaska about 275 miles southwest of Fairbanks.
Supporters will be able to buy the election. Ballots are $1. Zoo officials are hop-ing people will stuff ballot boxes attached to the ani-mals’ pens or online. Floyd said money from outside interests is welcome.
“We invite you to vote as much and as often as you like,” Floyd said.
The zoo election will fol-low the same timeline as the national race. Ballots for Ahpun and Denali can be cast until 8 p.m. Nov. 6.
Unlike the presidential race, vote totals will be up-dated daily on the zoo web-site.

Dear Dr. Donohue: My legs, above the ankle, started swelling about a year ago. They didn’t hurt, so I didn’t pay much attention to them. They always went down after a night’s sleep. A month or so ago, I noticed the skin in the area of swelling was sprinkled with red and brown specks. It’s a little itchy. My sister who was visiting was quite alarmed about this. She thinks it means I am in big trouble. What does it mean? — P.M.
Answer: What you de-scribe is stasis dermatitis and leg edema (swelling). “Stasis” implies that blood isn’t moving in the leg veins like it should. Dermatitis is skin in-flammation secondary to the stasis.
Your leg veins have become stretched out of shape. Their valves, which keep blood moving upward to the heart, are no longer functioning. These veins, which you cannot see, are distended with blood. They’re leak-ing fluid from the cir-culation along with red
blood cells. If you press your thumb against the skin above the ankles, you’ll leave an indenta-tion, proof that fluid has seeped into the tissues. The specks come from disintegrating red blood cells that have leaked out of veins along with the fluid. The brown specks are deposits of iron that was contained in the red blood cells.
You can minimize the process by elevating your legs as often as you can. Elevation means the legs should be at or above heart level. The only way to accomplish that is to lie down with the feet and legs propped up. Fifteen minutes every two hours will effect a change. Com-pression stockings also stop the oozing.
You have to see a doc-
tor about the swelling. A large number of con-ditions can bring it on. Some are dangerous, such as heart failure. Some are less significant, but the only way you’ll find out is
through a doctor’s exam. You need to see the doctor about the stasis dermati-tis, too. An ulcer can form on the involved skin. It’s very hard to cure once it forms.

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 ev-ery column and once in every 3x3 box. One-star puzzles are for begin-ners, and the difficulty gradually increases through the week to a very chal-lenging five-star puzzle.

Driving contributed to bad engineDear Tom and Ray: I
have a 2003 Mazda Protege with 103,000 miles. The problem started while my 20-year-old grandson had my car one time. My en-gine started getting hot, and I think he ignored it, and the next time I drove it, the temperature was all the way in the hot range. I immediately took it to the garage, we let it cool and they said it didn’t have any coolant. So they filled it up, I drove it home and kept an eye on it, and it was OK for a couple of weeks. My grandson took it again, and this time the car stopped completely. It would crank but wouldn’t start. I had it towed back to the garage, and my mechanic says my engine needs to be replaced. My question to you is: I am 64 with not a lot of money, really living paycheck to paycheck with a part-time job. Do you think I should try to get another engine? Or should I try to save up some money and get anoth-er used vehicle for about $3,000? Please give me your
opinion. And do you think my grandson’s driving could have contributed to this problem? — Evelyn
RAY: I think there are two guilty parties here, Ev-elyn. Three, if we include you for being much too nice a grandma.
TOM: I’m guessing your grandson drove it like an animal. Now, we don’t know your grandson, and he may be the most respon-sible person in the world, as well as an honor student and president of the Nerd Club. But if he’s like most other 20-year-old males, he probably was driving the car at 90 mph and had four other kids with him.
RAY: That kind of ag-gressive driving really overtaxed your cooling sys-tem. I’m guessing there was already a leak of some kind before he drove it, but your
gentle, and probably short-distance, driving never stressed the engine enough to make it fail completely.
TOM: But when Junior put 500 extra pounds of teenagers in the car and drove it like a NASCAR trainee, he overheated it. And worse, once it over-heated, he kept driving it.
RAY: And that’s when the real damage took place.
TOM: We also have to lay some blame on your me-chanic. When you brought it to him the first time and it was out of coolant, he was at fault for not immediately trying to find the source of the leak. It could have been a blown head gasket. But it also could have been some-thing even cheaper and simpler, like a leaky water pump or coolant hose.
RAY: No car should ever lose coolant without a rea-son. A good mechanic will find that reason and fix it before filling it up with coolant and sending you on your merry way.
TOM: If they had found the leak then, they could
have fixed it and prob-ably prevented the engine from overheating again and cracking its head or block (which, we assume, is why you now need a new engine). Even if it was a blown head gasket, and it had cost you $1,000 to fix back then, it would seem like a bargain now, right?
RAY: And the third guilty party here is you. Junior very nearly fried your en-gine, and then you gave him the keys again so he could finish the job. But we can’t blame you for having a soft spot for the little lead-foot.
TOM: So, now what to do? If the car is otherwise in good shape, your best bet probably is getting a used engine from a junkyard.
RAY: Your mechanic can look for one for you and in-stall it. That could eat up most or all of that $3,000 you mention. But if you can still afford it when you’re done, buy Junior a $50 bi-cycle and tell him that’s his new ride until he turns 30. Good luck, Evelyn.

RECYCLE FOR THE FUTURE!
B8Saturday, September 8, 2012 The Iola Register www.iolaregister.com
HAMPTON, Ga. — Carl Edwards is almost al-ways polite and cooperative, but the adversity of a tough season and the desperate situation he is in regarding the Chase are piling up a bit on him.
Asked if the “wide-open” Edwards of the past might be more likely, he said, “I am all the time. I’m sorry you haven’t noticed that lately.
“You always set up these questions up so that I have to just agree with some portion of your question, that there are two different ways that I drive, but I’m not going to agree with that.”
In Edwards’ defense, he was trying his best to smile and laugh as he spoke.
Fun and games — Asked what he had brought to Michael Waltrip Racing in his first year, Clint Bowyer went the intangible route.
“I think what I can bring to the table personally is kind of what I brought to the table from the get-go, is just make this fun,” Bowyer said. “It’s such a grinding schedule. It’s a ton of pressure each and every week, and you’ve got to make sure that your guys are having fun doing it.”
Sometimes you just tip your cap — After being tracked down and beaten by Ty Dillon in Atlanta’s Camping World Truck Series race, Kyle Busch had no excuses.
Asked what happened, Busch said, “Nothing, just got beat.
“(Dillon) was just that much stronger. It wasn’t the last five laps. He ran me down … I don’t know. They
had a better truck.”Courtesy of Jeff Foxworthy — “Every year you should
go to the fair, because after five minutes, you’re going to feel better about your own family. You see people at the fair that people in Africa send money to help.”
Because the Truck race was named the Jeff Fox-worthy’s Grit Chips 200, the comedian conducted a media conference at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Latest setback — Incredibly, the only Stewart-Haas Racing car that figures to be amply funded next year is the one to be driven by Danica Patrick.
Tony Stewart has been trying to rustle up enough sponsorship to keep Ryan Newman in his team’s No. 39. On Sunday morning the team announced that Of-fice Depot wasn’t returning as a sponsor of Stewart’s No. 14.
Heavenly reward — Edwards actually said that if he died and went to heaven, he’d like to take Atlanta Mo-tor Speedway with him.

The season takes its toll on Carl EdwardsBy Monte DuttonNASCAR This Week
ONE MORE RACE BEFORE THE CHASE
A Little Bit of Richmond Magic On Feb. 21, 1982, veteran Dave Marcis pulled off a miracle
victory at Richmond, Va. When others pitted, Marcis remained on the track, then configured at .542-mile (now it’s .75), so that he could receive bonus points for leading a lap. With Marcis out front, rains hit the track, ending the race at 250 of a scheduled 400 laps. Richard Petty, Benny Parsons, Dale Earnhardt and Terry Labonte finished second, third, fourth and fifth, respectively.
� Denny Hamlin will occupy no worse than a tie for fi rst when the Chase standings are seeded by victories. Unless either Jimmie Johnson, Brad Keselowski or Tony Stewart wins at Richmond, Hamlin will begin the Chase alone in fi rst place.� Jeff Gordon has one more
chance to win his way into the Chase. He must either win at Richmond or gain 13 points on Kyle Busch at a track where Busch is typically strong.� First place at Atlanta was
worth $355,716 to AdvoCare 500 winner Hamlin. Last (43rd) place was worth $82,641 to Joe Nemechek, who completed 22 laps.� Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jimmie
Johnson lead the Sprint Cup Series with 17 top-10 fi nishes each. Johnson leads with 12 top fi ves.� Matt Kenseth (1), Johnson
(5), and Tony Stewart (3) are the ex-champions likely to make the Chase. Gordon, who is a long shot, has four titles.� Though in the top 20 points,
Paul Menard, Jamie McMurray and Jeff Burton were offi cially eliminated from Chase wild-card contention. Seven drivers still have a mathematical shot for the two spots.� Martin Truex Jr. and Kevin
Harvick will be the only drivers in the Chase without victories unless either wins in the Richmond fi nale of the regular season. A year ago, the eventual champion, Stewart, went winless during the regular season but won fi ve times in the 10 Chase events.
By Monte DuttonNASCAR This Week
HAMPTON, Ga. — The outcome of the first 26 races determines eligibility for NASCAR’ s Chase for the Sprint Cup and, by extension, the field of drivers with a shot at the championship.
In the penultimate regular-season race, Denny Ham-lin became the only driver to win four races to date, meaning that he will be the top seed or at least tied for first. Hamlin, 31, has won the two most recent races at Bristol Motor Speedway and Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Hamlin came close to winning the championship in 2010, when he led Jimmie Johnson entering the final race at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
“I did an interview at the beginning of last year, and I said, ‘Just put me back in the same situation, and I promise I’ll win the championship when we leave Homestead.’ All I can hope is that opportunity again, and if I do, I’m going to live in the moment and focus everything I can do to win that race instead of worrying about the outcome,” Hamlin said. “I’m going to have a lot more fun and enjoy it.”
For each of his four victories, Hamlin, from Chester-field, Va., will receive three bonus points. The 12 Chase drivers will each be awarded 2,000 base points. The two wild-card selections are ineligible for bonus points. Hamlin could win a fifth race in the regular-season fina-le at Richmond International Raceway, the track closest to his hometown. By the same token, a victory by Jim-mie Johnson, Brad Keselowski or Tony Stewart would result in a tie at the top when the Chase commences on Sept. 16 at Chicagoland Speedway.
Stewart ranks 10th in the standings, only 18 points ahead of 11th-place Kasey Kahne. Even if Stewart falls to 11th, he would still make the Chase as a wild-card entrant, but in order for Stewart to receive bonus points for his three victories, he would have to remain in the top 10.
Preservation of the status quo in Richmond’s Feder-ated Auto Parts 400 would put Kahne and Kyle Busch in the wild-card spots. A Richmond victory could still put either Jeff Gordon, Marcos Ambrose, Ryan Newman or Joey Logano in the field. The long shot is Carl Edwards, who must win at Richmond and make up 27 points on Busch.

� Who’s hot: Denny Hamlin is the only driver so far to win consecutive races and the fi rst to win a total of four. ... Jeff Gordon has fi nished third and second in those two races, but the second victory he needs remains elusive.� Who’s not: Tony Stewart clings to 10th place in points in spite of consecutive fi nishes of 19th, 32nd, 27th and 22nd. ... Carl Edwards’ Chase hopes are almost over after engine

VERSUS
Thanks in part to some television sleight of hand, Harvick thought Keselowski cost him Atlanta’s Nationwide Series by inducing a caution flag by throwing a water bottle. Actually, the ESPN footage was from an in-car camera view taped before the race’s late caution flag for debris. Harvick confronted Keselowski on pit road after the race.
NASCAR This Week’s Monte Dutton gives his take: “Harvick was understandably frustrated after he was unable to win a Nation-wide race he dominated. The caution flag in question almost certainly did cost him the race, but the fault apparently wasn’t Keselowski’s.”

Dear NASCAR This Week,As season-ticket holders at Bristol, we were
very apprehensive about what we were going to witness this past week.
Starting Wednesday, our party was relieved and thrilled with the multi-groove racing by the modifieds and then the trucks.
Friday and Saturday night’s races provided plenty of side by side racing too. It’s obvious that grinding down of the high lane removed the advantage of running that low line, thus moving the fast lane more to the middle groove of the corners. Then, during the race, the racing groove became even higher, and three wide in the corner became possible.
When I read the reports in the paper about those very same races, I suspect the reporters were watching something from years past on tape. I mean, their stories talk about “plenty of beating and banging etc., etc.,” … Of course, those stories mix in earlier comments of some drivers who first attempted to drive in that fresh ground, slick, high-groove prior to any rubber being laid down … say what?
The commentators on the radio kept making reference to the “number of caution flags.” When the caution flag is the result of a flat tire or a blown engine, how can that be factored into all the generated media hype about the great changes at Bristol? The racing I saw did not look anything like the old one groove, right around the bottom, of years past at Bristol. Of course, the clips of Tony (Stewart) flinging his helmet at Kenseth, and Danica (Patrick) pointing her finger at Regan (Smith) will make all the sports pages, but otherwise, I just didn’t see any drastic changes.
It all smacks of a concentrated effort to “hype” the entire matter. When you see shirts proclaim-ing “The Old Bristol Is Back” I rest my case.
David QualkenbushHuntingburg, Ind.
It was the most eventful Bristol race in recent memory, so some of the hype sprang from that. The track did change as a result of the recent change, but perhaps not in the anticipated way. Regardless, it was an enjoyable race that seemed to be much appreciated by the folks like you in the grandstands.
