HOBBY: FULL STEAM AHEADBy ALLISON TINN

[email protected] some people, the sound

of a passing train is loud and irritating. For Steve Anderson and Ken Groves that sound brings excitement.

But Steve and Ken are not most people; the two built a 24 x 18-foot model railroad that will be showcased as part of the Molly Trolley Railroad tours today as part of the Farm-City Days celebrations.

Throughout this afternoon, the trolley will take ticket-holders on a railroad-themed tour of Iola, including the home of Ken and Gladys on Missouri Road.

“WHAT DO YOU THINK Steve, are we ordinary?” Ken asks. “No Ken, we’re extraor-dinary, meaning weird,” Steve jokingly replies.

“I grew up on a farm right next to railroad tracks and at times we would have 70 trains pass by,” Steve said. Down the road was a railroad yard, where Steve’s father would take him to watch the trains go in and out.

“My parents gave me a wind-up train when I was young,” Steve said. “I have been fasci-nated with trains ever since I can remember.”

Ken on the other hand found his love for trains when he was a little bit older. His wife Gladys’ foster father was an avid model railroad train en-thusiast and passed the inter-est onto Ken.

The railroad model they have recreated is the original Denver and Salt Lake City Railway, which winds through the mountains from Colorado to Utah.

Eventually an alternative route was built that would go through the mountains in tun-nels, called the Moffat Tunnel Route, named after David H. Moffat, the man who built the original line.

This made the trip faster and more efficient because it cut a substantial number of miles out of the route.

The original route might have been more work, but Steve and Ken both agree it was the most scenic.

Most of the original Denver-Salt Lake City line is used to-day as part of the Union Pacif-ic’s Central Corridor, which is mostly used for freight and the California Zephyr.

The California Zephyr is a passenger train that runs along more scenic routes. These pas-senger trains have more windows and glass c e i l i n g s f o r

people to look out of. “It might not be the

most efficient way to trav-el, but it is the prettiest,” Steve said.

STEVE, a librarian at Al-len County College, found out about Ken’s interest in rail-roads through coworker Glad-ys Groves.

This led to a great partner-ship because it sparked the project that has taken them roughly five years and it still is not done.

“With railroad modeling, nothing is ever done,” Gladys said.

Even though railroad mod-eling was originally Ken and Steve’s hobby, their wives have been just as much a part of the project.

Ken, who is retired, finds the model railroad a great hobby.

“Our wives like it because it keeps us away from the wild women and bars,” Steve said jokingly.

When a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer there is no way to prepare for all she will have to cope with. That is why knowledge and a strong support system are necessary pillars for successfully getting through the hardship ahead.

Allen County Hospital is working to create that avenue for

breast cancer patients with its free Lunch and Learn sessions. The first session was Wednesday at the hospital.

During the session, a four-per-son panel discussed cancer risk factors, preventatives, the im-portance of mammograms and personal experiences.

The panel consisted of Judy Works, a nurse practitioner, mammographer Andrea Hot-

tenstein, breast cancer survivor Carolyn Murphy and director of food and nutrition service for the hospital Lisa Haney.

Works, a breast cancer survi-vor, explained what makes some women more at risk for breast cancer.

Some factors include late pregnancies, poor diet and nutri-tion and increased levels of hor-

Program looks to clarify federal healthcare reform

By STEVEN [email protected]

Myths were dispelled and facts became clearer about health care reform in a program held Thurs-day in the West Townhouse Com-munity Room.

The program, sponsored by the Kansas Health Consumer Coali-tion (KHCC) and organized by Thrive Allen County, focused on the Affordable Care Act, or Obam-acare. The speaker was Sheldon Weisgrau, the director of the Health Reform Resource Project out of Topeka.

Weisgrau said the goal of his project is to inform and educate Kansans on their healthcare. He said as people become more informed, they can take better advantage of the benefits and op-tions they are given through the new healthcare act.

“We (the United States) have by far the most expensive health care in the entire world,” Weis-grau said. “We need to get what

we pay for.”Weisgrau said his goal is not

to promote President Obama’s Affordable Health Care Act or to refute its policies, but to give an objective perspective on what sort of options Kansans can take advantage of. He said U.S. health-care deals with some major issues including: healthcare access, in-consistent health service qual-ity, lack of recommended care and the overall cost of American healthcare.

Of the 50 million people unin-sured in the United States, more than 365,000 of those live in Kan-sas. This number represents 13 percent of the state’s population. For Allen County, 15 percent of its residents are uninsured, which Weisgrau said was better than many other counties in the state.

According to a report provided by the KHCC, being uninsured can be costly to a citizen and the

Matt Korte will cry his sec-ond auction ever tonight at State Street Gallery, 320 W. Garfield.

He opened the business as a retail outlet 11 months ago and in late summer decided a twice-a-month auction might go over better.

“When we were in retail, we’d have one person in one day, may-be 20 the next,” he said. “I’m look-ing for more consistency with an auction.”

Ambulance talks handed back to governing bodies


After realizing current city and county leaders have never met to discuss the possibility of forming one ambulance service, members of an advisory com-mittee threw the ball into their court.

The decision Friday after-noon also eliminated the need for the Ambulance Advisory Committee, which over the course of many months has tried to come with a solution for

a combined service with no suc-cess.

Dick Works, county com-mission chairman, noted “the two governing bodies never sat down together” to discuss am-bulance service after the split several years ago that left the county with two services.

Former county commissioner Kent Thompson, and a member of the advisory commission, was adamant that no solution is possible unless either the coun-ty or city yields control of their ambulance service.

Generally, about $2.5 million

WASHINGTON (AP) — The maker of Banana Boat sunscreen is recalling some of its spray-on products af-ter reports that a handful of people have caught on fire after applying the lo-tion.

Energizer Holdings is pulling nearly two dozen formulations of UltraMist off store shelves due to the risk that the lotion can ig-nite when exposed to open flame.

The recall includes prod-ucts like UltraMist Sport, UltraMist Ultra Defense and UltraMist Kids.

A company spokesman said there have been five reports of people catch-ing fire after applying the sunscreen in the last year. Four burn cases were re-ported in the U.S. and one in Canada.

More than 20 million

units have been sold since UltraMist launched in 2010, the spokesman said.

Energizer said in a state-ment that the problem ap-pears to be with UltraMist’s spray valve, which is over applying the product. As a result the lotion is taking longer to dry, which raises its flammability risk.

“If a consumer comes into contact with a flame or spark prior to complete drying of the product on the skin, there is a potential for the product to ignite,” the company said.

Consumers who pur-chased the products are being told not to use them. More information is avail-able from the manufacturer at 1-800-SAFESUN.

Energizer said it has no-tified the Food and Drug Administration about the voluntary recall.

Sunscreen recalledNEW YORK (AP) — The

release of Microsoft’s Win-dows 8 operating system is a week away, and consum-ers are in for a shock. Win-dows, used in one form or another for a generation, is getting a completely dif-ferent look that will force users to learn new ways to get things done.

Microsoft is making a radical break with the past to stay relevant in a world where smartphones and tablets have eroded the three-decade dominance of the personal computer. Windows 8 is supposed to tie together Microsoft’s PC, tablet and phone soft-ware with one look. But judging by the reactions of some people who have tried the PC version, it’s a move that risks confusing and alienating customers.

Tony Roos, an Ameri-can missionary in Paris, installed a free preview version of Windows 8 on his aging laptop to see if Microsoft’s new operating system would make the PC faster and more respon-sive. It didn’t, he said, and he quickly learned that working with the new soft-ware requires tossing out a lot of what he knows about Windows.

“It was very difficult

to get used to,” he said. “I have an 8-year-old and a 10-year-old, and they never got used to it. They were like, ‘We’re just going to use Mom’s computer.’”

Windows 8 is the big-gest revision of Microsoft Corp.’s operating system since it introduced Win-dows 95 amid great fanfare 17 years ago. Ultimately, Windows grew into a $14 billion a year business and helped make former Chief Executive Bill Gates the richest man in the world for a time. Now, due to smartphones and tablets, the personal computer industry is slumping. Computer companies are desperate for something that will get sales growing again. PC sales are expect-ed to shrink this year for the first time since 2001, according to IHS iSuppli, a market research firm.

The question is whether the new version, which can be run on tablets and smartphones, along with the traditional PC, can sat-isfy the needs of both types of users.

“I am very worried that Microsoft may be about to shoot itself in the foot spectacularly,” said. Mi-chael Mace, the CEO of Silicon Valley software

startup Cera Technology and a former Apple em-ployee. Windows 8 is so dif-ferent, he said, that many Windows users who aren’t technophiles will feel lost, he said.

Microsoft is releasing Windows 8 on Oct. 26, and it doesn’t plan to cushion the impact. Computer com-panies will make Windows 8 standard on practically all PCs that are sold to con-sumers.

Speaking to Wall Street analysts on Thursday, Mi-crosoft’s chief financial officer Peter Klein said he isn’t very concerned that user confusion could slow the adoption of Win-dows 8. When Microsoft introduces new features, he said, people eventually

realize that “those innova-tions have delivered way more value, way more pro-ductivity and way better usability.” That’s going to be true of Windows 8 too, he said.

Instead of the famil-iar Start menu and icons, Windows 8 displays appli-cations as a colorful array of tiles, which can feature updated information from the applications. For in-stance, the “Photos” tile shows an image from the user’s collection, and the “People” tile shows images from the user’s social-me-dia contacts. (Microsoft is licensed to use AP content in the Windows 8 news ap-plications.)

The tiles are big and easy to hit with a finger — convenient for a touch screen. Applications fill the whole screen by de-fault — convenient for a tablet screen, which is usually smaller than a PC’s. The little buttons that surround Windows 7 applications, for functions like controlling the speak-er volume, are hidden, giv-ing a clean, uncluttered view. When you need those little buttons, you can bring them out, but users have to figure out on their own how to do it.

Early look at Windows 8 baffles consumersI’m very worried

that Microsoft may be about to shoot itself in the foot spectacu-larly.

CHICAGO — An Am-trak train made an historic run at 110 mph on Friday through Illinois’ breadbas-ket.

The train, packed with dignitaries and high-speed rail fans, actually brief-ly clocked 111 mph near Dwight, Ill., on the way to Pontiac.

The entire 110 mph seg-ment — 15 miles — took only about 6 minutes.

Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn, U.S. Transportation Secre-tary Ray LaHood, U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and oth-ers monitored the train’s progress to top speed on a TV that displayed a speed-ometer and a GPS map of the train’s movement.

Boosted by two locomo-tives, the Amtrak test train hit 110 mph Friday for the first time while carrying passengers in Illinois in the modern era.

Quinn has said he wants to live long enough to see 220 mph bullet trains race across the state connect-ing Chicago, college towns downstate and neighboring Midwest states.

The 15-mile trip at high speed was on new rails and new concrete ties between Dwight and Pontiac along

the 284-mile Union Pacific Railroad corridor from Chi-cago to St. Louis.

Dwight is about 80 miles southwest of Chicago and Pontiac is about 20 miles further to the southwest. The train was continuing on to Normal at top speeds of 79 mph before heading back to Chicago Union Sta-tion, officials said.

The 15-mile section that has been completed for 110 mph operations features a new signal system as well as fencing and a four-gate sys-tem at railroad crossings to keep vehicles and trespass-ers off the tracks, officials said. Standard crossings are equipped with only two gates.

Test runs were conduct-ed in recent months lead-ing up to Friday’s demon-stration, which follows the inauguration of 110 mph Amtrak service earlier this year in western Michigan and northwest Indiana.

The Chicago-to-St. Louis rail project, paid for pri-marily so far through $1.2 billion in grants from the Obama administration and $400 million from the state, is being carried out by the Illinois Department of Transportation, Union Pa-cific and the Illinois Com-merce Commission.

Amtrak passenger train briefly hits 111 mph

By RICARDO ALONSON-ZALDIVAR

Assoicated PressWASHINGTON (AP) —

Medicare is coming under scrutiny in the meningi-tis outbreak that has re-kindled doubts about the safety of the nation’s drug supply.

The giant health insur-ance program for seniors long ago flagged compound-ed drugs produced for the mass market without over-sight from the Food and Drug Administration as safety risks. In 2007, Medi-care revoked coverage of compounded inhaler drugs for lung disease.

But Medicare doesn’t seem to have consistently used its own legal power to deny payment, and crit-ics say that has enabled the compounding business to flourish.

Now program officials are scrambling to find out how many Medicare benefi-

ciaries are among the more than 250 people sickened in 16 states in a still-growing outbreak that has claimed 20 lives.

The illnesses have been linked to an injectable ste-roid used to treat back pain, made by the New England

Compounding Center, a Massachusetts specialty pharmacy. The medication was contaminated with a fungus.

A senior lawmaker and consumer advocates are raising questions about Medicare’s role, including an apparent lack of coordi-nation between Medicare and the FDA, the two most powerful agencies within the federal Health and Hu-man Services Department.

In response, a depart-ment spokesman says Con-gress needs to provide the FDA with stronger powers.

The meningitis outbreak has called attention to the role of compounding phar-macies in supplying medi-cations routinely used by hospitals and doctors to treat patients. Regulated primarily by states, the pharmacies specialize in customizing doses for indi-vidual patients who have allergies to ingredients in

an FDA-approved drug, or who might need a smaller dosage than what’s avail-able commercially. But some pharmacies have pushed into full-scale man-ufacturing.

Medicare has long been aware of the risks.

“By compounding drugs on a large scale, a company may be operating as a drug manufacturer within the meaning of (federal law), without complying with requirements of that law,” Medicare’s coverage man-ual, a reference for contrac-tors that handle payments, says in a section dealing with compounded drugs.

I can already hear the collective groans, but there are just five weeks until Thanksgiving. Why am I bringing that up? Because the Chamber Ambassadors have been working hard at sprucing up Santa’s House and finding the reindeer (they are in pasture as of now). We are working on all the fun things that go with the holiday season.

I want to plant the seed to start planning and working on your gingerbread cre-ations. The Chamber will once again host a class. The date will be announced in the near future.

Santa coming to town and the lighting ceremony will also have some chang-es. We are planning and working for a great holiday season. Watch for future an-nouncements.

Thank you to all who helped with Farm-City

Days. It has come together nicely and we are so excited about the new and the old blend of functions that has taken place. Even with the cooler weather the Family Fun night went well and the Little Miss Iola Pageant was well attended.

The next event will be the Veterans Day parade on Nov. 10.

Even with all the wind and the drought we have had, if you get a chance to get out and look at the fall foliage I would encourage you to do so. It is absolutely beautiful right now.

Joe Aistrup was asked to talk about government, poli-tics and the Kansas economy at KU Thursday.

“All I would have to do to alienate everyone in the room would be to add religion to that list,” he said.

Aistrup is professor of po-litical science at Kansas State University. He was the lead speaker at the 37th annual Kansas Economic Policy Con-ference at the University of Kansas on Wednesday.

“First, the good news. Com-modity prices are strong, the crop insurance program works well and the oil and gas indus-tries have been profitable for years,” he said. Rural Kansas is doing well, despite the drought. On the flip side, the aircraft in-dustry which used to be a pillar of the state’s economy is weak. Boeing is leaving Wichita. The worldwide demand for corpo-rate jets has dropped because of the recession.

But un-employment in Kansas is just a little over 6 per-cent, while the national rate is 7.8 p e r c e n t . The state wasn’t hit hard when the housing bubble burst in other states because there never was a housing boom here.

The Kansas economy is grow-ing and disposable income per capita is about $38,000, which is almost exactly the national level.

The outlook, Prof. Aistrup said, is worrisome because of the uncertainty. First, the nation faces the so-called fis-cal cliff. Unless Congress acts before the first of the year, government spending will be slashed deeply and tax rates will go back to Clinton-era lev-els. Nationally, economists say the combination will shrink the U.S. economy by about 5 percent and toss the country back into recession.

“I also look at the price of gasoline as a forecaster. When the price of gas approaches $4 a gallon, the economy slows down. It is about at that level now. High gas prices suck money away from other pur-chases. Retail sales slump. Un-employment rises,” he said, il-lustrating the correlation with a chart.

TURNING TO politics, Ais-trup noted that Kansas gov-ernment had shifted sharply to the right. He contrasted the administrations of Bill Graves and Kathleen Sebelius to that of Sam Brownback and said the difference can be seen in the effect of the latest tax cuts.

Aistrup noted that for many

years Kansas policy makers had maintained a tax struc-ture in which roughly equal amounts of government reve-nue were raised from the sales tax, the income tax and the property tax.

Today that three-legged rev-enue stool is more like a two and one-half legged stool, he said, because income taxes had been reduced so much. The ef-fect of tax reductions made since 1995 has been to reduce state income by more than $8 trillion dollars.

Some of those reductions were made by increasing the number and magnitude of ex-emptions and credits.

“If all of the sales of goods and services were taxed, the state could lower the sales tax to two cents without losing revenue,” he said, and added that eliminating all of the deductions, exemptions and credits on all taxes — sales, income and property taxes —

“might be a good place to start on restructur-ing.”

A i s t r u p p r o j e c t e d Kansas will be forced to reduce state s p e n d i n g significant-ly unless new rev-

enues are found because the tax cuts now in place would re-duce income below this year’s spending level.

He said the shift to the right has changed the way the ad-ministration thinks.

“It used to be that our gov-ernor and legislators would decide what the state should do to meet the needs of the people and then decide how best to raise the money needed to ac-complish those things. Today the approach is the opposite. The lawmakers decide what the level of taxation should be and then see what needs can be met with the money raised. The contrast between those ap-proaches is profound,” he ob-served.

AISTRUP TOLD a question-er that cutting taxes does stim-ulate the economy because it puts more money in the hands of the public. The question is whose economy is stimulated. When a Kansan gets an extra dollar he or she isn’t required to spend it in Kansas. It can be spent anywhere in the world. Or it can be socked away and a bank may invest it in New York, Paris or Hong Kong, he intimated.

“Cutting taxes to stimulate a particular economy is like pouring gasoline on the top of your car and hoping that at least some of it will end up in your gas tank,” he said.

At mile 9, Brian looked over and winked, “Happy anniversary, hon.”

It was a welcome pick-me-up. By then the fun of the half-mara-thon was beginning to wear thin.

Still, we did it, along with 4,600 others who ran in a variety of races around downtown Wichita, including the 26.2-mile mara-thon.

And yes, it was fun. Rock n’ roll bands were stationed along the course. Neighbors still in their robes nursing hot coffee came out to cheer the steady stream of ear-ly morning runners.

In one neighborhood two little girls had a lemonade stand and worked every bit as hard as those manning the fuel stations along the course. Other kids would line along the streets holding out their hands to give you a slap-slap-slap of high fives.

“You’re looking good!” “Great pace!” “Keep up the good work!” were welcome words of encour-

agement as the miles wore on.Others had wry senses of hu-

mor as they held signs that read, “Toenails are for sissies.” or “Run like UR naked.”

The sheer volume of the crowd provided constant entertainment and welcome distractions. Two women wore shocking pink wigs. A man ran in striped leotards equipped with a tail. Many had T-shirts that bore inspirational say-ings. At our pace, you had plenty of time to read the fine print.

It also felt good to know some-where in that vast crowd - we nev-er spotted each other were fellow Iolans Nicolle Hoepker and Jason

Franklin pounding the pavement.

IT WASN’T UNTIL this spring that I considered getting back into running. Joyce Heismeyer, now of Wichita, was my inspira-tion to try a 10K in June. I barely had a chance to feel satisfied with crossing the finish line before Joyce said the half-marathon was next. “Maybe for you,” I thought.

Before long, Brian and I were out on the rail trail Saturday mornings building up our dis-tances from that six-mile founda-tion.

Training for the longer dis-tance was the first time Brian and I had run together. Usually, we do our own thing. He has seven mar-athons under his belt; I had two half-marathons from more than 20 years ago. Needless to say, he could leave me in the dust at any point.

But that wasn’t the point, as his companionship of now six years has so aptly proved.

Not exactly romantic, but run was funSusanLynnRegistereditor

At Monday night’s Humboldt council meeting, the future of Walter Johnson Park came up when members agreed to extend water lines to the east edge of town to accommodate the new USD 258 sports complex.

When the complex opens, Wal-ter Johnson Field, named after the Hall of Fame pitcher born north of Humboldt, will be aban-doned by the district. Other uses will be found, likely by the local recreation group.

The older field, ringed by a laid-up rock wall and with a stadium also made of local limestone, has a historical presence: It was a Works Progress Administra-tion project. The original swim-ming pool, stadium, north shelter house and levee at Riverside Park also were WPA projects.

Several people at the council meeting were unaware of the WPA.

Simply put, it was a stimulus program not unlike what Presi-dent Obama encouraged during

the recent recession. It was part of President Roosevelt’s New Deal to fend off financial difficul-ties of the Great Depression.

In 1935, $4.9 billion was appro-priated to the WPA. That repre-sented 6.7 percent of the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP). Millions of unskilled workers carried out public works projects, such as those in Iola and Hum-boldt. The WPA also employed artists, writers, actors and direc-tors in large arts, drama, media and literacy projects.

IOLAN Jim Gilpin called up Friday morning after listening to a National Public Radio re-port about the release this week of confidential files kept by Boy Scouts of America on men sus-pected of child sex abuse.

Gilpin said the commentary made it appear the abuses had oc-

curred recently. In fact, he said, the organization changed the way it operated in the 1980s to assure, as much as humanly pos-sible, that no future abuse would occur.

An abuse lawsuit mentioned in the report was filed 30 years ago, Gilpin noted, when he was a leader.

Changes since then require at least two adults to attend meet-ings, campouts and any other Boy Scout activities. Also, potential leaders undergo extensive back-ground checks to ensure that they pose no threat, a process that has become more thorough with evo-lution of technology.

Gilpin remembers the changes because they were accompanied by increases in individual and troop registration fees to deal with the lawsuit.

“We have a small but very good troop in Iola,” Gilpin observed, one that involves itself in many activities to the good of the com-munity.

He doesn’t want it or the many other troops that give boys oppor-tunities to learn leadership and a multitude of other skills to be tainted by misunderstanding.

Only God Is Perf ec t We all have to realize that each of us has flaws and shortcomings, and we should accept others as they are, and in turn, hopefully, others will accept us as we are. However, this does not mean that we should not try to continually improve ourselves. We should always act and behave as God would want us to, and treat others as we would want to be treated.

It is really a blessing from God to know oneself; however, it seems that we can usually find fault with others much easier than we can with ourselves. Seeing faults in others should induce us to correct our own weaknesses and help us strive to be more understanding and patient with those around us. Only God is perfect, but if we seek His will and try to be the best that we can be, we can each become better persons and more pleasing to our Heavenly Father.

Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?

BureauWASHINGTON — For

Rep. Leonard L. Boswell, an eight-term Democrat from Iowa, the first hint of the ad war to come appeared in summer 2011. Almost a year and a half before Election Day, Crossroads GPS, the conservative nonprofit co-founded by Karl Rove, was on the airwaves in the con-gressman’s district, chewing him out over the deficit.

“The Republicans have been trying to buy this race from the get-go,” said Kevin McTigue, who manages Bo-swell’s campaign against nine-term GOP Rep. Tom Latham in a redrawn dis-trict that stretches from Des Moines to Council Bluffs.

But the biggest onslaught arrived last week, when

Crossroads bought $850,000 worth of ads in the district. The buy, part of an $8.1 mil-lion offensive in 11 House districts, coincides with a nationwide swell of ad spending by conservative groups.

Sound familiar? It was at this point two years ago that Republican outside groups unleashed a flash flood of spending, catching Demo-cratic House candidates off guard.

This year, the spending strategies by Republicans and Democrats illustrate just how differently the two sides have adapted to court decisions two years ago that upended campaign finance limits and launched an era of top-dollar spending by outside groups.

Republicans are largely following their 2010 script,

banking on a last-minute blitz. Democrats are spend-ing more money earlier in the cycle, hoping to build a firewall to withstand the GOP’s final push.

The inverse battle plans have echoes in the presiden-tial race, where Mitt Rom-ney, who trailed President Barack Obama on the air-waves through spring and summer, now has the on-air advantage.

Outside groups spent $114 million in 2010 House races, according to the nonparti-san Center for Responsive Politics. This season’s tab is to be even higher, as both sides embrace the new cam-paign finance landscape, which allows individuals, corporations and unions to spend unlimited amounts, independently of parties and campaigns.

So far, outside groups have spent and booked more than $104 million in television time, according to a Demo-cratic ad tracking source. That will almost certainly grow.

Before last week’s GOP of-fensive, Democratic outside groups held a slight edge in spending.

“We made this conscious decision to go in early to serve as a bulwark,” said Andy Stone, spokesman for House Majority PAC, a Dem-

ocratic “super PAC.”The group, founded in

response to the Democrats’ 2010 walloping, has spent about $30 million so far this cycle and plans to spend an additional $5 million or so. It has also served as a clearing-house where other reliable liberal allies, including labor unions and environmental groups, can share strategy and divvy up the political map.

“Clearly, in 2010, the Re-publicans adjusted to the

new landscape much faster, more efficiently and more ruthlessly,” said Craig Va-roga, whose group, Patriot Majority, has been support-ing Democrats since 2005.

Cooperation among lib-eral groups “happened more slowly, but it happened effec-tively,” he said.

The Democrats’ initial spending advantage has been wiped away with the latest Republican barrage. GOP outside groups now have a margin of about 2 to 1.

Five groups — Crossroads GPS, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the YG Action Fund, the American Action Network and its super PAC affiliate the Congressional Leadership Fund — have committed at least $35 mil-lion to help Republican can-didates in the final three weeks of their House races.

Republican ad blitz hits Congressional campaignsClearly, in 2010, the Republicans adjusted

to the new landscape much faster, more ef-ficiently and more ruthlessly.

NEW YORK (AP) — Poor corporate earnings reports pounded the stock market Friday in a sour end to an otherwise strong week of trading. The Dow Jones industrial average fell more than 200 points for its worst day in four months.

Disappointing results from three giants of the Dow — Microsoft, General Electric and McDonald’s — were partly to blame. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fared even worse, as widespread worries about companies’ ability to keep churning out better profits drove the broader market down.

Through Thursday, with 115 companies in the S&P 500 reporting, earnings have dropped 3.7 percent compared with a year ear-lier, according to Thomson Reuters, a financial data provider, and ING, a finan-cial company.

“And once you get one quarter of negative earn-ings, it’s a precursor,” said Doug Cote, chief market strategist at ING Invest-ment Management in New York. “It’s the cockroach

theory: If you find one, there’s probably many more.”

Heading into this earn-ings season, financial analysts had estimated that corporate profits for July through September would fall compared with the same period a year ago. That would be the first such decline in three years.

The Dow sank 205.43 points, or 1.5 percent, to close Friday at 13,343.51.

The S&P lost 24.15, or 1.7 percent, to 1,433.19. The Nasdaq composite index, hammered by a second ugly day for Google, lost 67.25 points to 3,005.62, a 2.2 percent decline.

The big drops Friday left the Dow and S&P clinging to gains for the week.

All 10 industry groups in the S&P 500 fell, led by technology and materials stocks.

Google continued its slump, losing $13.21 to $681.79, a day after its earn-ings report was accidently hours ahead of schedule. The report raised ques-tions for Google and other Internet companies about ads that target mobile de-vices.

Week starts strong, then fades


Beth Erbe was living in a nursing center in Independence, Kansas. This was an ideal situation since her son, her primary caregiver, was always nearby. Plus, Beth liked living in her hometown. But, when Beth’s son passed away, her daughter, Dixie Ward, really want-ed her mom to be closer to Colony where she lived. That’s when Dixie moved Beth to Windsor Place in Iola. Windsor Place was a natural choice. Dixie was already familiar with the services available and the

quality of care offered at Windsor Place. Her mother-in-law was once a resident here and her daughter, Diane, works in the dietary department. Dixie was concerned about how Beth might react to the move since she had been a resident of Independence for so many years. But, Dixie is pleased to report that the transition went very smoothly. For more information about the services available at Windsor Place, please call (620) 365-3183, extension 20.

Windsor Place…Compassionate care.

Close to home.

“After my brother died, I really wanted to move my mom from Independence to Iola. Windsor Place made the move very easy for Mom. They take very good care of her. She really enjoys the food. Windsor Place has such a bright and cheery atmosphere and the staff gets along and works well together. I would definitely recommend Windsor Place to others.”

While he will accept con-signments, at a charge of 20 percent of sale price, Korte said he planned to accumu-late as much merchandise as he could on his own, in-cluding from storage unit sales in such places as Kan-sas City.

“I want good merchan-dise,” he said, allowing he was convinced that was the way to draw and maintain a crowd of buyers.

“We’ll have appliances, furniture, household items, electronics and tools,” but no antiques, which often come with reserve bids at-

tached, Korte said.People who might have

consignments are encour-aged to call a week or so ahead of auctions, at 620-363-1717, “so I can advertise what they have to sell,” he said.

Potential bidders may preview merchandise start-ing at 3 p.m. today. The sale starts at 5 o’clock.

While this is his second auction, Korte thinks he has his self-taught chant down pat.

“I watched a lot of video and also practiced a lot,” he said.

Helping with sales are

Angela Byars and Korte’s sisters, Haleigh Curry and Lauren Korte.

Iola Community The-atre’s production of “Di-xie Swim Club” has been canceled for the second straight year.

variations in the entries,” said April Desocio, Sonic employee and one of the judges. “But, Casey’s was the first entry we got with that name on it.”

Casey and Lilly will ride in today’s Farm-City Days parade, in a Sonic vehicle driven by Desocio. He also received four tickets to Sterling Six Cinema and a $20 gift card for conces-sions in a brief ceremony

Friday morning at Sonic Industries.

Lilly’s happiness no doubt comes from how she became Casey’s best four-legged friend.

The dog was abandoned in the Walmart parking lot and taken in by Casey when she was just a tiny pup, said his grandmother, Jeanne McKarnin.

“We think she’s part rat terrier, but we don’t know

what else,” said Jeanne, noting that Lilly’s too large to have just rat ter-rier in her ancestry.

Judges for the nam-ing contest in addition to Desocio were Iola Coun-cilman Don Becker, Ray Shannon, member of the Dog Park Committee, and citizens Angel Liberty and Jessica Morgan.

Casey is the son of Rob and Karen McKarnin.

“Let’s look at dollars and cents and do what’s best for all of the county,” said ad-visory committee member Tom Williams.

Williams followed with a motion for “the two gov-erning bodies to sit down and talk at their earliest convenience.”

The vote was unanimous, 6-0, with two members, Mike Russell and John McRae, absent.

government as well. Those without insurance are less likely to receive

• preventative and pre-natal care;

• to be hospitalized for preventable reasons; and

• to be more likely to have an overall higher likelihood of early death.

The report estimates that 20,000-50,000 people died in 2011 due to a lack of proper insurance.

Weisgrau said the Af-fordable Care Act is out-lined in over 900 pages of documentation, and its goal is to help more people receive proper insurance. Under the law, the govern-ment now requires insur-ance companies to provide standardized, easy-to-read outlines of their policies to help people decide which policy is right for them. Also, the law requires that insurance companies can-not exclude insurance for children and adults with pre-existing medical con-ditions — a major problem for many in the U.S.

Weisgrau said the act will also expand to include coverage for more people under Medicaid, stipulat-ing that people who have an income 138 percent or lower than the federal pov-erty level are eligible to re-ceive Medicaid.

The aspect of Obam-acare that Weisgrau said is most unpopular with crit-ics of the law is the “indi-vidual mandate” reform. This section requires that every citizen have health insurance. He said the reason for this mandate,

is to create profit for the insurance companies and reduce high costs.

With elections coming up on Nov. 6, the reform can change quickly, and he said people need to be informed about what those changes can bring.

“The election is really going to determine where this law goes and what it is going to do,” Weisgrau said.

Paul Sorenson, an at-tendee of the program, said he appreciates the efforts of the KHCC and Thrive Allen County.

“Everybody is looking for information,” Soren-son said. “It helps to know that they are not trying to sell anything.”

Sorenson said while Obamacare will not change much of his healthcare as a veteran, he believes it is important to know how the healthcare laws and re-forms will affect everyone.

He said the information that Thrive provides can be extremely valuable.

Weisgrau said it is im-portant for people to re-alize that our healthcare system is not the best in the world. He said the gov-ernment is doing its best to try and build upon the existing system, which can create some complica-tions overall.

The report states, under the act, the government will spend over $1 trillion on the healthcare reform by 2019. Weisgrau said if Gov. Mitt Romney were elected president in No-vember, he has stated that he will seek to repeal the act.

from either birth control pills, getting older and a family history of breast cancer.

Those risks account for only 20 percent of breast cancer cases, most are “spontaneous within the woman,” Works said.

Works said there are many more risk factors that affect different women but the important thing to remember is to be in-formed and to “be your own advocator.”

Once women are diag-nosed with breast cancer Works suggests doing as much research as possible, talk to doctors and search online.

Men can be diagnosed with breast cancer but “out of all the breast cancer vic-tims something like less than 1 percent are men,” Works said.

HOTTENSTEIN empha-sized the importance of getting annual mammo-grams.

Most women cringe at the sound of the word mammogram, Hottenstein said, because of what can

be a painful procedure.But mammograms have

come leaps and bounds compared to what they used to be like, she said. The machines have become more pressure sensitive.

“The only thing the machines don’t do now is warm up the plate,” Hot-tenstein said.

The recommended time for women to start getting annual mammograms is 40, but women should al-ways consult with their doctors to make sure they are not at a higher risk and should start getting them earlier, Works said.

RISK REDUCTION was another topic of discus-sion.

Haney said limiting alco-hol intake for women, good diet and nutrition, exercise

and not smoking all reduce the chances of breast can-cer in women.

Murphy shared her ex-perience with breast can-cer and said the only time she let the cancer get to her was when her hair had be-gun falling out.

“It was the only time I cried,” she said.

But she picked herself back up, with the help of her support system — fam-ily and friends — and made a decision to beat the can-cer.

A SECOND Lunch and Learn session will be from 1 to 2 p.m. Thursday at the Iola High School lecture hall.

the railroad and the hobby has spread throughout the family.

During the holidays Gladys and Ken’s children help build some of the mod-els.

RAILROAD modeling can seem like a lot of work, but it is relatively inexpen-sive, if aggregated over a period of time.

“We have found things at garage sales,” Gladys said. “It’s not an overly expen-sive hobby because we get things here and there.”

The bulk of the expense goes into the tracks and the train cars, which can cost on average $20 to $30 per car. Additional costs come with the scenic material.

“It is a very multi-dimen-sional hobby,” Ken said.

IOLA PUBLIC LIBRARY will be sponsoring today’’s Molly Trolley Railroad Tour as part of the Iola Reads program.

The tours are free but people interested have to have a ticket prior to board-ing the trolley.

Tickets can be picked up starting at 10 a.m. in front of the Allen County His-torical Society. The tickets will be given on a first-come first-serve basis.

There will be four tours beginning after the parade at 2, 3, 3:45 and 4:30 p.m.

The tours will give a his-tory on the railroads in Iola then will be stopping at the Groves residence to see the model.

Because passengers will be required to walk roughly the length of two blocks on uneven grounds the tours will not be handicap acces-sible.

JULIE PACEAssociated Press

CLEVELAND (AP) — Unemployment rates fell last month in nearly all of the battleground states that will determine the presidential winner, giv-ing President Barack Obama fresh fodder to argue that voters should stick with him in an elec-tion focused squarely on the economy.

The declines, however, were modest. It’s un-known whether they will do much to sway undecid-ed voters who are consid-ering whether to back Re-publican Mitt Romney or give the Democratic presi-dent four more years.

The statewide data released by the Labor Department on Friday provide one of the last comprehensive looks at the health of the U.S. economy ahead of Elec-tion Day, now a little more than two weeks away. Voters will get one more update on the national unemployment rate just days before the election. But the state reports mat-ter greatly to the Obama and Romney campaigns, which believe the public’s

impressions of the econo-my are shaped mostly by local conditions rather than national ones.

In Ohio, perhaps the most crucial battleground state for both Obama and Romney, the unemploy-ment rate ticked down last month to 7 percent from 7.2 percent, below the national average of 7.8 percent.

“I knew a lot of people who were laid off and now they’re working,” said firefighter Matt Sparling, an Obama supporter from Parma Heights, Ohio. “So something good is hap-pening here.”

Obama’s team is bank-ing on the president get-ting credit for improve-ments in Ohio’s economy, particularly for the bail-out of the auto industry, which has deep roots in the Midwestern swing state. But Romney has op-portunities to run on the economy in Ohio, too. The state actually lost nearly 13,000 jobs in September and the drop in the unem-ployment rate was prob-ably due in part to people dropping out of the job market.

The president didn’t mention the state jobless

numbers during a cam-paign stop Friday in Vir-ginia, one of two battle-ground states where the rate didn’t drop. It held steady at the relatively low level of 5.9 percent.

Spirited on other top-ics, Obama quipped in a raucous rally at George Mason University that a case of “Romnesia” was preventing his opponent from remembering his own stances on health care, energy and a slate of policies.

“He’s forgetting what his own positions are — and he’s betting that you will, too,” Obama said. “We’ve got to name this condition that he’s going through. I think it’s called Romnesia.”

Romney was headlining a rally in Florida Friday evening after spending much of the day in New York meeting with advis-ers.

The candidates were

stepping off the cam-paign trail this weekend for debate preparations ahead of Monday’s third and final face-off in Boca Raton, Fla. Romney was staying in South Florida to practice, while Obama and top aides headed to Camp David, the presiden-tial retreat in Maryland, to prepare for the foreign policy-focused debate.

International issues competed with the econ-omy for voters’ attention Friday, as fresh ques-tions arose over what the White House knew when about the deadly attack on Americans in Libya.

Republican vice presi-dential candidate Paul Ryan accused Obama of stonewalling, telling Milwaukee radio station WTMJ that the president was refusing to answer even basic questions.

“His response has been inconsistent, it’s been misleading,” Ryan said.

Jobless rate falls in most battleground statesI knew a lot of people who were laid off

and now they’re working, so something good is happening here.

BEIRUT (AP) — A car bomb ripped through Beirut on Friday, killing a top secu-rity official and seven oth-ers, shearing the balconies off apartment buildings and sending bloodied residents staggering into the streets in the most serious blast the Lebanese capital has seen in four years.

Dozens of people were wounded in the attack, which the state-run news agency said targeted the convoy of Brig. Gen. Wis-sam al-Hassan, the head of

the intelligence division of Lebanon’s domestic secu-rity forces.

Many Lebanese quickly raised the possibility the violence was connected to the civil war in neigh-boring Syria, which has sent destabilizing ripples through Lebanon for the past 19 months. Al-Hassan led an investigation over the summer that implicat-ed a pro-Syrian Lebanese politician and one of the highest aides to Syrian President Bashar Assad in plots to carry out bombings in Lebanon.

Frizay’s blast was also a reminder of Lebanon’s grim history, when the 1975-1990 civil war made the country notorious for kidnappings, car bombs and political as-sassinations. Even since the war’s end, Lebanon has been a proxy battleground for regional conflict, and the Mediterranean seaside capi-tal has been prey to sudden, surprising and often unex-plained violence shattering periods of calm.

“Whenever there is a problem in Syria they want to bring it to us,” said Karin Sabaha Gemayel, a secratary

at a law firm a block from the bombing site, where the street was transformed into a swath of rubble, twisted metal and charred vehicles.

“But you always hope it will not happen to us. Not again,” she said.

The blast ripped through a narrow street at mid-af-ternoon in Beirut’s mainly Christian Achrafieh neigh-borhood, an area packed with cafes and shops. Doors and windows were shattered for blocks, and several black-ened cars appeared to have been catapulted through the air.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sensing a moment of political vulnerability on national security, Repub-licans pounced Friday on disclosures that President Barack Obama’s adminis-tration could have known early on that militants, not angry protesters, launched the attack on U.S. diplomats in Libya.

Within 24 hours of the deadly attack, the CIA station chief in Libya re-ported to Washington that there were eyewitness re-ports that the attack was carried out by militants, officials told The Associ-ated Press. But for days, the Obama administration blamed it on an out-of-con-trol demonstration over an American-made video ridiculing Islam’s Prophet Muhammad.

Paul Ryan, the Republi-can vice presidential nom-inee, led Friday’s charge.

“Look around the world, turn on your TV,” Ryan said in an interview with WTAQ radio in the elec-tion battleground state of Wisconsin. “And what we see in front of us is the absolute unraveling of the Obama administration’s foreign policy.”

As a security matter, how the Obama admin-istration immediately described the attack has little effect on broader counterterrorism strat-egies or on the hunt for those responsible for the incident, in which the U.S. ambassador and three oth-er Americans were killed. And Republicans have of-fered no explanation for why the president would want to conceal the nature of the attack.

Former Iolan Mike Wilmoth, 54, has dipped his toe into the big time.

Earlier this season, Wilmoth worked three pre-season and three regular season games as a replacement referee for the Na-tional Football League. He calls it “an experience of a lifetime.”

Everything seemed larger than life.

The first game he officiated in regular season included Peyton Manning, a lock for the Pro Foot-ball Hall of Fame, suited up for the Denver Broncos.

Wilmoth worked games in San Francisco’s Candlestick Park, and wandered into “the same dugout where Willie Mays once sat.” He refereed in Lambeau Field in Green Bay, where Vince Lombardi coached and legends such as Bart Starr, Paul Hor-nung and, more recently, Brett Favre won championships.

“Everything was first-class, top of the line,” Wilmoth told the Register in a telephone in-terview from Wellington, where he teaches high school history and American government.

“The intensity of the players and coaches is almost beyond belief,” he said. And TV doesn’t do justice to their enormity.

When Wilmoth stepped on the field for a pre-season game between the Carolina Panthers and Houston Texans, one of the first players he saw up close was Panther quarterback Cam New-ton.

“What a physical specimen,”

Wilmoth said. “I wouldn’t want to hit him with my pickup truck.”

Wilmoth also enjoyed a size-able stipend as a replacement referee, though it paled to those who referee pro football games.

“I got a $5,000 signing bonus and was paid $2,000 for each pre-season game, $3,000 for regular season games,” he said, includ-ing the same amounts when he was alternate and watched games from the sidelines. Train-ing sessions paid $500 a day and $75 for meals.

That’s a far, far cry from what Wilmoth has earned during 36 years of officiating public school and college sports and arena football games.

THE JOURNEY that led Wilmoth to the NFL started in 1976 with the first game of the season in Colony.

“I was playing softball at Humboldt that summer and George Cunningham asked if I’d be interested in replacing Dad (Don Wilmoth) on an offi-ciating crew that fall,” Wilmoth recalled. “Dad had officiated for years,” and retired when named Iola Middle School principal.

Cunningham, then guidance counselor at Humboldt High, scheduled local officiating crews.

“I remember I was with Don Martin (also an Iolan) and Lar-ry Gleue and Wilfred Lehmann from Le Roy,” he said.

Just out of high school, the op-

By RICHARD [email protected]

In the past two weeks, Iola High has stood toe to toe with a pair of the toughest high schools in southeast Kansas.

While the Mustangs lost both contests, and were eliminated from postseason contention Fri-day with a 34-7 loss to Fort Scott High, Iola again showed off a hard-nosed edge indicative of team eager to join the cadre of Class 4A powerhouses.

But an early offensive explo-sion by Fort Scott, coupled with a handful of missed chances for Iola, shows the Mustangs aren’t there yet.

The Tigers scored on their first three drives of the game to open a 20-0 lead before Iola seized mo-mentum.

The Mustangs’ Zeph Larney recovered a muffed punt by Fort Scott’s Marques Floyd early in

the second quarter, setting Iola up at the Fort Scott 12.

But the drive came up empty when Iola fumbled the ball right back four plays later.

Iola snuffed the ensuing Tiger drive when Jacob Rhoads recov-ered a fumble at the Mustang 17.

The recovery led to a mam-moth, 19-play, 76-yard drive. But the 8-minute possession came up empty when Floyd intercepted a Mason Coons pass into the end zone with less than a minute left in the second quarter.

“We told the kids that we had two or three opportunities right there that we couldn’t capital-ize on,” Iola head coach Doug Kerr said. “When you’re going up against a good team like Fort Scott you have to take advantage of those chances.”

Iola was hardly dissuaded, tak-ing the opening possession of the second half 79 yards on 13 plays,

capped by a three-yard touch-down run by John Whitworth with 6:56 left in the period.

Fort Scott responded, showing why it’s the fourth-ranked Class 4A team in the state.

The Tigers went 63 yards on 14 plays — even though Iola thought it gained possession at one point on what was ruled an incomplete pass, but many thought was a fumble.

Floyd’s 20-yard run with 1:05 left in the third stretched the lead to 28-7.

Iola went three-and-out on its next possession, before Fort Scott capped the scoring with an eight-yard touchdown run by Floyd — his third of the game — with 9:32 left on the clock.

“We want to build our program up to something like Fort Scott, and we’re getting better,” Kerr

HUMBOLDT — Hayden Bor-ing boomed a 39-yard field goal as time expired in the first half here Friday night to give Humboldt’s Cub a 37-0 lead over Fredonia and invoke the mercy rule.

But, it was a charitable act — and one of a veteran coach look-ing to the future — by Cub Coach K.B. Criss that kept the game from being more of a rout than it

was.As the fourth quarter raced

to an end — the mercy keeps the field clock running through-out the second half — Fredonia scored a couple of meaningless touchdowns while the Cubs cel-ebrated a 44-14 district victory.

The two scores came after Criss had given the game to the Cub ju-nior varsity, both on offense and defense. Cub coaches continued to insert players as the game wore

down, giving all 36 suited for the game a chance to play in the last regular season game at home.

Humboldt journeys to Burling-ton Thursday, with both teams assured a postseason berth in the postseason playoffs.

portunity to stay involved with sports — he played several at IHS — appealed to Wilmoth. So did making some extra money to help with college expenses.

“I also called a lot of games then with George and Buck (Quincy),” he added. “Sometime we’d do an afternoon JV game and another that evening. I learned more that first year, and by watching Dad officiate, than I have since, including the NFL.”

While at Pittsburg State, he “did anything that paid; football, basketball, junior high, high school, anything to help pay for college.”

Wilmoth continued af-ter college. His resume in-cludes Division II and NAIA college games, as well as arena league pro games.

His arena league experi-ence began in 2000 at Wich-ita, and involved players who resembled the NFL’s behemoths, but for one rea-son or another never were able to move from the col-lege gridirons to the lavish venue of pro ball.

MAY 5 of this year was a red-letter day for Wilmoth.

“I got an email that said the NFL was looking for experienced officials who might work as replacements if a labor agreement with the regular refs wasn’t settled,” he said. “A Wichita friend and

junior college official told me, ‘You got to apply.’”

He did and was one of 150 invited to interview in Dal-las.

“We had physicals, were measured for uniforms and had workouts with Billy ‘White Shoes’ John-son,” a former pro player, Wilmoth said. “I was in the umpires group and the foot drills went well. Then we were told to run a half mile through a series of cones.

At the first turn I was last in my group.

“I decided I’d just keep up my pace and at the end someone told me I came in with the first third.”

During a subsequent meeting, Wilmoth was one of a group of 18 umpires asked if any would be will-ing to change to another po-sition.

“I raised my hand,” he said. “I was willing to do whatever gave me the best

chance to make it.”Back in Wellington,

Wilmoth heard nothing for more than two weeks.

“I had just about given up when I checked my email and there was a message to come to Dallas for a three-day clinic, to pick up my uniform and shoes and meet with my crew,” he said.

A crew consists of seven officials on the field, an al-ternate and two NFL em-ployees in the replay booth.

WILMOTH’S FAMILY also got in on the fun.

Wilmoth’s wife, Aleta, grew up in Iola as Aleta Platt, and has an athletic pedigree of her own.

She played basketball at Iola High and is remem-bered for swishing a basket from the key to hand Yates Center its first loss of the 1975-76 season.

“She was there for my first pre-season game,” the Carolina-Houston contest, Wilmoth recalled.

Family always has been a huge part of the Wilmoths’ lives and he was delighted not only that Aleta, but also their children, Brandon, a teacher in Wellington, and Dawn, who works for Dis-ney in California, and their spouses were on hand at the Denver pre-season game. His parents, Don and Kathy Wilmoth, and Aunt Mary Dickey, all from Iola, were at Denver’s Mile High Sta-dium as well.

Wilmoth started his ab-breviated pro career as line judge and switched to head linesman, which required that he spot the ball at the

conclusion of each play, an exacting and tedious re-sponsibility.

An average game has about 100 plays from scrim-mage and each time the ball is snapped, Wilmoth as head linesman had a spe-cific role.

“Much of what happened on the field I never saw,” he recounted. “The first thing I did on each play was make sure it was a legal snap and then I read the (offensive) tackle to see if a run or pass play was developing. If it was a pass, I watched the No. 2 receiver and once the play ended, I immediately went to the ball, spotted it and moved the chains, if a first down resulted.”

HIS FIRST regular sea-son game was a doozy, Pitts-burgh at Denver on Sunday night.

“That was great, getting to call Manning’s first regu-lar season game and also have Ben Roethlisberger (Pittsburgh quarterback) on the field,” Wilmoth said. “I talked to both of them. They’re nice guys.

“They told us afterward that there were 28 TV cam-eras on the game and the television audience was about 27 million — I was glad they didn’t tell us be-fore the game.”

He also worked a Chi-cago-Green Bay Thursday night game, which gave him an idea of how well his crew functioned. It was the 185th meeting of the two long-time pro football rivals.

“After the game we went back to the hotel and in the bar and snack area were a lot of (Chicago) Bear fans,” Wilmoth said. “They ap-plauded when our crew walked in. That meant a lot to all of us.”

He didn’t have much time to soak in the adulation. He caught a plane for Wichita that night and was in his classroom at Wellington by 11 a.m. Friday.

“My district was real good about working with me on the officiating,” he added. “There never was any problems with me get-ting off for games.”

His last game was Detroit at Tennessee and provided the greatest test of his offi-ciating skills.

The game went into over-time. Tennessee scored on a field goal and Detroit had a fourth-and-one at about the Tennessee 30, close enough

to try a field goal but the Lions apparently wanted to end the game with a touch-down rather than kick a three-pointer and go into a second overtime, Wilmoth said.

“They lined up and I’m sure the Lion quarterback was trying to draw the Ti-tans offside with his count, but because of some mix-up the center hiked the ball. The quarterback tried to sneak for the first down.

“When I spotted the ball it was short and the play went upstairs for review. I sure was happy when the replay officials confirmed that where I spotted the ball was exactly right.”

Ron Baines, an NFL of-ficial, made a point to com-pliment Wilmoth after the game.

UNBEKNOWN to Wilm-oth at the time, the Tennes-see-Detroit game was his last.

The next night — in a game without Wilmoth’s crew — there was a con-troversial play, which ac-celerated criticism of re-placement officials. Before the week was up the NFL and officials union had an agreement.

Wilmoth said he took much from calling the pro games and opportunities to make friends.

“I have seven new friends (his crewmates) who I’ll probably never see again, but it was great to get to know them and also to have the chance to talk with many of the players,” he said, which often occurred during TV time-outs.

In a game involving Cin-cinnati, he visited with Terence Newman, former Kansas State star defensive back, and met a coach from Elkhart.

“I had some fantastic interaction with coaches — some did holler at me — and players,” Wilmoth said.

“It was so amazing to see the level of play in the pros,” he continued. “Those guys are so fast and highly com-petitive. And it was interest-ing to see that they turned it up a notch from pre-season to the regular season.”

In summation, Wilmoth said from start to finish the experience was almost sur-real.

But, it didn’t jade him.“I’ve gone right back to

calling high school games,” he said, “and I’m loving it just as much as I ever did.”

Red Devils drop season finale

PARSONS — Iola Middle School’s seventh-graders capped a successful season in come-from behind fash-ion.

The Ponies trailed 6-0 at the break before scoring twice in the second half.

Cale Barnhart’s one-yard touchdown run with 1:37 left on the clock, coupled with his two-point conver-sion, gave Iola a 16-14 win. Nick Vaughn then inter-cepted a Parsons pass to seal the win.

In eighth-grade action, Parsons scored 24 first-half points en route to a 46-14 win.

The eighth-graders end-ed their season at 3-4. The seventh grade ended with a 5-2 record.

Parsons scored late in the first quarter of the sev-enth-grade contest and led through the balance of the half 6-0.

“These kids came out flat, but regrouped at half-time and played their best football,” Pony head coach

Marty Taylor said.Evan Sigg got Iola on the

scoreboard with 1:50 left in the third quarter. Sigg’s two-point run gave the Po-nies an 8-6 advantage.

Parsons scored with 3:50 left in the game to set up Iola’s game-clinching scor-ing drive.

Barnhart rushed for 14 yards, while Sigg rushed for 38 and completed 2 of 5 passes for 19 yards, both to Ethan Holloway. Vaughn rushed for 12 yards; Isaac Vink for 10.

On defense, Matt Komma led Iola with seven tackles. Barnhart and Nick Peter-son added six and five tack-les, respectively. Vaughn had four stops and the game-clinching pick.

“All year long these boys got better every prac-tice,” Taylor said. “To go 5 and 2 against a tough SEK schedule is something to be proud of.”

ETHAN SCHEIBMEIR

put the eighth-graders on the board late in the first half with a one-yard touch-down run.

Seth Sanford then scored from four yards out late in the third quarter. Sanford also ran in the two-point conversion.

“Parsons is a very good football team, but these kids battled all night,” Tay-lor said. “This loss doesn’t take away the fact these kids won seven games over their two years. They work hard and are a great group of kids.

“Ethan Scheibmeir played his heart out to-night, just a fantastic ef-fort.”

Scheibmeir ran for 121 yards. Sanford had 14 yards on the ground. Ben Cooper completed 1 of 11 passes, in-cluding a seven-yard com-pletion to Garrett Wade.

Chase Regehr and Scheibmeir led the Ponies with six and five tackles, re-spectively.

Allen Community College had more to contend with than its opponent on the soc-cer field Thursday.

The Red Devil women also had to deal with a ferocious west wind that wreaked hav-oc on the team’s first-half play at home.

Garden City Community College was there to take advantage, scoring twice early in the first half and holding on in a 2-1 win.

The loss ends the 2012 season for the Red Devils at 2-15.

With west winds fre-quently exceeding 30 mph, kicks into the steady gusts were complicated substan-tially for Red Devil players in the first half. On multiple

occasions kicks into the air were headed back toward the players by the time the ball hit the turf.

As a result, much of the early action came with Gar-den City on offense and the Red Devils on defense.

The Broncbusters scored in the first five minutes on a penalty kick by Dominique Rodriguez. Garden City’s second tally came minutes later when Katherine Ham-ric’s blast deflected off the hands of Allen goalkeeper Keelie Arbuckle.

Mother Nature’s cruel hand became evident in the second half as well.

While the wind was still blowing, it lost much of its intensity as the sun settled to the west, eliminating what could have been a sub-

stantial offensive advan-tage for Allen.

The Red Devils scored on a goal by sophomore Marisa Menzo, and pep-pered the Broncbusters with several shots on goal after that, but could never tie the score.

“That’s why we’ve told our captains if you can ever get the wind advantage, get it early, because you never know when it’s going to go away,” Red Devil head coach Doug Desmarteau said.

While Allen’s season was short on victories, the team’s effort is one worthy of pride, Desmarteau said.

“Obviously we didn’t get the wins we would’ve liked, but the girls never gave up,” he said. “We had a few inju-ries that set us back during the season, but their effort was unbelievable. They played hard every game. I’m very proud of them.”

Split caps Pony season

A bout with the flu could not stop the Marma-ton Valley High Wildcats from flexing their offen-sive muscle in Friday’s rout of Yates Center High.

Senior Night for Marma-ton Valley was over quickly as the Wildcats held Yates Center scoreless to end the game at halftime, 54-0. The win lifts Marmaton Val-ley’s record to 8-0.

Head coach Kent Houk said seven of his eight Wildcat starters were deal-ing with the flu all week during practice. Some had not fully recovered for Fri-day’s game.

“We had some sick kids this week, which meant some of our other guys had to step, up ” Houk said. “I told them ‘No excuses.’”

The Wildcats racked up 229 yards of offense in the game’s two quarters, all of which came on the ground.

Yates Center’s defensive line proved no match for the size and speed of Mar-maton Valley’s offensive players.

To open the first quar-

ter, senior Cole Becker broke through a hole for a 23-yard touchdown. Becker ran once more for a touchdown in the first quarter, followed by a 5-yard touchdown from se-nior Ryan Smith.

The second quarter start-ed with an explosive 48-yard run from Becker. Senior quarterback Jimmy Frye took back a 55-yard punt re-turn for a touchdown, after another Marmaton Valley defensive stand.

Carlos Gonzales picked off Yates Center quarter-back Bryce Leon and ran 50 yards to the end zone. Leon was picked off once more for a touchdown late in the second quarter with a 40-yard interception re-turn from Becker.

Becker led Marma-ton Valley’s ground at-tack with 13 carries for 126 yards. Senior Daylen Houk rushed 10 times for 57 yards and Smith rushed seven times for 30 yards.

Defensively, the Wild-cats held Yates Center to a mere 15 yards of total offense, allowing only one first down. Frye led Mar-maton Valley in tackles

with five. Becker and se-nior Nathan Smart each had four stops. Senior Jared Kale had two tackles and a sack. Houk, Becker and Gonzales each had one interception.

Coach Houk said his team will need to be pre-pared to when it travels to a strong St. Paul team Thursday, even though the Indians suffered their first loss of the season Friday, a 52-40 setback to Marais Des Cygnes Valley.

LE ROY — Crest High Lancer’s offense struck from the air and the ground in a 58-12 win over Southern Coffey County High’s Titans Friday night.

The Lancers scored 52 points in the first half alone, before ending the game in the third quarter due to the Kansas eight-man football mercy rule.

“Defensively we stepped up tonight and played with emotion,” Crest head couch Brent Smith said. “It was a good district win for us, they showed great effort.”

Crest running back Kyle Hammond started the scoring early in the first quarter with a 40-yard touchdown run. The Lancers scored three more touchdowns in the first quarter from Brock Ellis, Jordan Morton and anoth-er from Hammond.

The Titans attempted to put together a come-back late in the first with

a 30-yard touchdown pass to Turner Anderson from Chism Newkirk, then again with a 12 yard touch-down pass from Newkirk to Josiah Witteman.

Another three touch-downs in the second quar-ter led Crest to a comfort-able lead at half. A 13-yard touchdown run by Kyle Hammond ended the game in the third quarter.

Hammond led the team in passing with 7 comple-tions on 10 attempts for 173 yards. Morton completed 2 passes on 4 attempts for 51 yards. He also led the team in receptions with four catches for 126 yards. Ham-mond had one reception for 36 yards, and Brock El-lis had one reception for 36 yards. Hammond rushed 14 times for 111 yards. Dylan Sedlak rushed three times for seven yards with one touchdown.

Defensively, offensive lineman Jesse Boone led

the team with 15 tackles. Hammond had seven. Ellis came up with the only in-terception of the evening.

“We played great to-night, but we need to keep moving on,” Smith said.

Crest improved to 5-3 overall for the season, with a 3-1 record in district play — clinching a playoff berth. They travel to Tyro Christian Thursday.Crest 28-24-6-x—58Southern Coffey Co. 12-0-0-x—12

said. “But when you get in the red zone, you have to come away with points.

“Now, we want to end the season (Thursday) at An-

derson County and get our sixth win, which is one of our goals,” Kerr continued. “We hope to keep building the excitement that we’ve developed during the sea-son.”

Fort Scott took the game’s opening drive 83 yards on eight plays, capped by a six-yard Floyd touchdown run.

The Tigers’ Zach Den-ton followed with a 1-yard touchdown at the 3:48 mark of the first quarter.

Floyd’s 53-yard punt re-turn following Iola’s next possession set the Tigers up at Iola’s 16. Victor Hughes ran off those 16 yards on one play to put the lead at 20-0.

Whitworth rushed 17 times for 52 yards to lead the Mustangs, while Rhoads traveled 46 yards on nine carries. Coons was 3 of 12 passing for 99 yards. Tyler McIntosh completed his only attempt for seven yards.

Adam Kauth had 61 yards on three receptions, Eric Heffern had 28 yards on two catches and Rhoads had two catches for 21 yards.

On defense, Iola was led by Kaden Macha’s 12 tack-les — eight unassisted — while Rhoads and Heffern had eight tackles apiece. Whitworth and McIntosh had five stops each.

Iola (5-3 overall and 8-2

in Class 4A, District 6 play) ends the season Thursday at Anderson County High in Garnett. Kickoff is at 7 p.m.

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.

sive and defense.The offensive line gave

Quarterback Nathan Whit-comb ample time to find receivers and opened holes for Whitcomb and tailback Jacob Carpenter to scam-per through.

“They played their tails off,” Criss said of his line-men.

When Fredonia blitzed linebackers, which it did often, “we got our heads up and picked them up,” Criss noted. “Our lines battled all night and did one heck of a job pass blocking and stop-ping the run.

Once Fredonia had the ball, Cub defenders often were in the backfield before plays could fully develop. On several occasions black-clad Humboldt players converged on Yellowjacket backs as the ball was being handed off.

Those things were con-tributing factors to the lopsided victory, but more importantly was the speed of Humboldt, completely as a team and individually

with Whitcomb and Tanner McNutt.

McNutt returned the opening kickoff 55 yards to the Fredonia 32 and was just a stutter-step from go-ing the distance.

Four plays later Whit-comb, after a feint to Car-penter, stepped through a huge hole on the right side of his line, side-stepped a tackler at the 10-yard line and darted to the end zone for a 22-yard score. Bor-ing shot the extra point through the uprights.

Just over two minutes had expired.

Fredonia showed some life when it came the Yel-lowjackets’ turn, but that soured the fourth play of the possession when Isaac Ostrosky, a freshman get-ting the start at quarter-back, lost the ball and Humboldt’s Trey Johnson cradled it at the Fredonia 23.

A 17-yard pass to Mc-Nutt advanced the ball to the 6, before a motion pen-alty moved it back to the 11. Whitcomb danced his way

to the 5 and then on consec-utive off-tackle plays Car-penter scored. A rare miss by Boring left the score at 13-0.

Fredonia was still in the game at that point, but had given no indication it would be able to compete with Humboldt in the lon-ger term.

A three-and-out punt turned disastrous when the center’s pass flew over the punter’s head, giving Hum-boldt the ball at the four-yard line. Whitcomb quick-ly scored on the second of two short thrusts, and the rout was on at 20-0.

After a Whitcomb pass sailed over Noah Thorn-brugh’s outstretched hand, Whitcomb called No. 88’s number again and this time the 6-foot-6 wideout was able to snag a dart at the Hum-boldt 47, put a nice move on two Fredonia defenders and outraced two others for 57-yard touchdown.

With just under three minutes left in the half, Whitcomb and McNutt hooked up again on a 29-yard scoring play.

That upped the Cubs’ margin to 34-0, a point shy of triggering the mercy rule, which requires the field clock to stop only for time-outs in the second half a game.

Humboldt got the ball back with less than a min-

ute in the half and after a 6-yard run by Whitcomb put it on the Fredonia 28, Criss let time run down to 1.3 seconds before sending in Boring to kick a field goal that split the uprights and cleared them by a good 10 yards.

Humboldt scored its sixth and final touchdown with 3:50 left in the third from 8 yards out when Whitcomb found McNutt prancing across the end zone unat-tended after the had juked a Jacket defender so badly he tangled his feet and fell.

Humboldt improved its record to 6-2.

CHICAGO — Contro-versial new comments on abortion from U.S. Rep. Joe Walsh, R-Ill., have raised a new political firestorm over his re-election bid, with abortion rights advocates likening him to embattled Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin.

At a televised debate Thursday with opponent Tammy Duckworth, Re-publican Walsh declared that abortion should be out-lawed in all circumstances, including to save the life of the mother.

But it was his comments to reporters after the event at WTTW-TV that sparked the most attention. Walsh said medical advances had rendered it unnecessary to ever perform an abortion to save a mother’s life.

“With modern technol-ogy and science, you can’t find one instance,” Walsh declared.

Asked then if he was say-ing it was never medically necessary to perform an abortion to save the life of a mother, Walsh responded: “Absolutely, yes.”

He did not elaborate on how he came to that con-clusion. But Walsh sched-uled a news conference for Friday afternoon in Elk Grove Village to “discuss his comments about his pro-life stance during and after last night’s WTTW de-bate and to discuss the state of the race,” according to a release from his campaign.

Duckworth says she is pro-choice. Her campaign manager, Kaitlin Fahey, sent an email to support-ers con-d e m n i n g W a l s h ’ s c o m -ments as “ e x t re m e and out of touch.”

“ T h i s is truly shocking,” the statement said. “Politicians shouldn’t ever be involved in a wom-an’s personal medical deci-sions — especially when their beliefs about women’s bodies are as offensive as this.”

Fahey coupled her state-ment with a fundraising pitch for $10 apiece from

supporters.Meanwhile, Dawn

Laguens, executive vice president of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, termed Walsh’s observa-tions as “alarming” and “erroneous” and an ex-ample of “Joe Walsh’s ig-

norance about women’s health.”

She likened Walsh to Akin, the Missouri Repub-lican congressman now running for Senate in that state.

Akin appeared to hold a strong early lead over in-

cumbent Democratic Sena-tor Claire McCaskill until he made abortion related comments on a television talk show claiming that women could not become pregnant from rape be-cause their bodies would sense the violation and not

allow a fetus to develop.The comments created

an uproar and many promi-nent Republicans moved to distance themselves from Akin. The incident also enabled McCaskill’s cam-paign to catapult from long-shot to competitive.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Farmers this spring were able to plant all but a few thousand acres of the land deluged by last year’s flood-ing along on the Missouri River and the intentional breaching of a Mississippi River levee in southeast Mis-souri, U.S. Department of Agriculture figures show.

When farmers can’t plant their crops because of flood-ing or other adverse weath-er conditions, they are able to collect “prevented plant-ing” payments from insur-ance to help mitigate the loss from not being able to sell a crop.

USDA numbers show farmers received the pay-ments for only about 4,900 acres of unplanted Missouri River cropland in about 20 counties in Kansas, Mis-souri, Nebraska and Iowa af-ter the Missouri River basin land flooded in spring 2011, when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers released mas-sive amounts of water from upstream reservoirs that had been filled with melting snow and heavy rains.

The onslaught lasted more than 100 days, flood-ing about 207,000 acres of farmland in Missouri alone. When the water receded, tree branches and other debris were strewn across fields. Some fields were filled with ruts while others con-tained so much sand they resembled deserts.

The largest amount of unplanted land was in Mis-souri’s Holt County, with 1,125 acres, followed by near-by Atchison County, with 1,068 acres, the USDA figures show.

“We had a mild winter and it did allow for an early cleanup,” said Mark Sith-erwood, presiding commis-sioner of Holt County. “But most of our ground that didn’t get replanted was due to sand and sand deposits in and along the river where the breaks occurred and where we had the higher currents. We have land that is basically probably ru-ined.”

Data shows another 5,600 acres went unplanted in southeast Missouri’s New Madrid and Mississippi counties, in part because

they were flooded when the corps used explosives to blow gaping holes in the Birds Point levee. The inten-tional breaching, which in-undated about 130,000 acres, was designed to let water out of the Mississippi River and save the tiny town of Cairo, Ill., on the river’s eastern bank.

“We’ve done a lot of work down there to help the land-owners get back into pro-duction,” Charlie Rahm, a spokesman for the USDA’s Natural Resources Conser-vation Service.

Officials stressed not all the unplanted land in New Madrid County was tied to the breaching of the Birds Point flooding.

Other busted levees and overflowing waterways in-undated an additional 510,000 acres in 2011 in levee-protect-ed areas in southeast Mis-souri, said Mark Nussbaum, an engineer for the NRCS. Another 1,703 acres went unplanted this year in Stod-dard County, with smaller amounts of land going fallow in other nearby counties, be-cause of that flooding, USDA numbers show.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas man who operates an online tutoring service as “Mr. X, Mentor of Math-ematics” is running for the State Board of Education in hopes of making it easier for professionals outside the public school system to become teachers.

Steve Roberts argues that state policies still place too much emphasis on ensuring that aspiring second-career teachers go back to college to study teaching methods — in-stead of quickly tapping their knowledge of subjects such as math and science, particularly in middle and high schools. Roberts, a self-described conservative Republican from the Kan-sas City suburb of Over-land Park, is riling educa-tors and renewing a debate

that’s simmered for years.Roberts is running for

the open state board seat for the 2nd District, cover-ing populous stretches of northern and eastern John-son County. His opponent is Cindy Neighbor, a Shawnee Democrat and former Kan-sas House member who’s served 16 years on the Shawnee Mission school board.

“I’m committed to being a reformer,” Roberts said during a recent interview. “For someone to teach a music class, would you rather have someone who has training in music or pedagogy? The system says pedagogy.”

Neighbor contends that Roberts underestimates the need for aspiring teachers to have an understanding of different teaching meth-ods, classroom manage-ment, child development and basic child psychology. Education officials contend that the state’s rules, al-lowing candidates to teach

for up to three years while they finish their education coursework, aren’t oner-ous.

“Everybody doesn’t learn the same way,” Neigh-bor said. “You can’t just go in and teach physics with-out understanding who you’re teaching it to and how you’re getting across to your students.”

Five of the state board’s 10 seats are on the ballot in the Nov. 6 election, and contests in three districts are contested. Neighbor and Roberts are looking to replace Sue Storm, an Over-

land Park Democrat who’s not seeking re-election.

For years, residents of the suburban neighbor-hoods in the 2nd District have seen their schools as an economic magnet. They’ve been willing to increase local taxes to sup-port them and have chafed at budget constraints im-posed by the state.

Neighbor, 63, has had mixed success running as a moderate candidate for the Legislature over the past decade. She won a House seat as a Republican in 2002 but lost her 2004 GOP pri-mary to a conservative. She returned to the House in 2006 as a Democrat who’d tied her fortunes partly to then-Democratic Gov. Kath-leen Sebelius. But she lost the House seat in 2010 to an-other conservative Republi-can.

She has the endorsement of the Kansas National Education Association, the state’s largest teachers’ union. She touts an involve-

ment with local schools that started three decades ago as a parent-teacher as-sociation “room mother.”

Roberts, 54, has had a varied career that includes stints as a truck driver, ra-dio sports announcer, news-paper sports editor and fed-eral tax examiner. He holds degrees in electrical engi-neering and education, and his “Mr. X” online tutoring service offers help with al-gebra, calculus, geometry and trigonometry.

He ran for the state board in 2008 as an independent candidate, garnering near-ly 21,000 votes, or about 14 percent. Storm captured the seat with 48 percent of the vote.

This year’s race between Roberts and Neighbor comes amid an ongoing in-terest among conservative Republicans in turning the debate over education in Kansas to issues other than the state’s level of funding.

Conservative Gov. Sam Brownback appointed a task force last month to examine ways to make schools more efficient in their spending of state dol-lars, and House Appropria-tions Committee Chairman Marc Rhoades, a Newton Republican, said he’d like to press reform issues next year. And Rhoades said he’s interested in the policy questions Roberts is rais-ing.

“The education estab-lishment doesn’t want us to talk about it,” Rhoades said. “I think there are plenty of people who are naturally good, naturally gifted at teaching.”

The board’s policies al-low someone interested in becoming a teacher to get a license as a “visiting scholar” after documenting advanced studies or exten-sive training in a particular study, “exceptional talent” or work of “outstanding distinction.” They can teach another two years under restricted licenses as they pursue up to 24 college credit hours of education courses.

Roberts said he agrees that people wanting to teach in elementary grades need such grounding in teaching methods and child development. But he con-tends it’s far less important when it comes to teaching in middle and high school. He said loosening the re-quirements is likely to help poor schools seeking quali-fied instructors.

But Karen Godfrey, the KNEA’s president, who’s on leave from a job teaching language arts at Seaman High School in north To-peka, contends the rules en-sure that all students have qualified teachers.

“We wouldn’t put them under the care of a doc-tor who maybe is good at it eventually,” she said. “I wouldn’t want a CPA who hadn’t met the standards.”

Everybody doesn’t learn the same way. You can’t just go in and teach physics without understanding who you’re teaching it to and how you’re getting across to your students.

Quotations of the day By the Associated Press

“If four Americans get killed, it’s not optimal. We’re going to fix it. All of it.” — President Barack Obama, rejecting criticism that his administration has of-fered a confused response to the attack on the U.S. Consul-ate in Libya.

___

“I just reminded every-body when we took our punches all year, ‘You know what? Let’s just wait till the end, and then if we have underachieved, I will be the first one to admit it.’” — Tigers manager Jim Leyland, after Detroit swept the New York Yankees in the American League Champion-ship Series and advanced to the World Series.


CONCORD, N.C. — The absence of Dale Earnhardt Jr. led to a pro-gression of realizations about NAS-CAR, Charlotte Motor Speedway, the Earnhardt family and the Tar Heel State.

The Bank of America 500 marked the first Cup race without an Earn-hardt in the field since the Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway on Sept. 3, 1979, which was won by the driv-er, David Pearson, who substituted for the injured Dale Earnhardt.

It was also the first NASCAR race without a North Carolinian in the field since a race at Ascot Stadium in Los Angeles on May 27, 1961. In those days, NASCAR sometimes sanctioned conflicting races in dif-ferent parts of the country. That race was on the same weekend as Charlotte’s World 600.

How interesting, and more than a little sad to some, that the first race in 51 years without a N.C. native in the field was … actually in North Caroli-na. Almost surely, it was the first time a major NASCAR event was ever held in North Carolina without a North Carolinian competing.

Bahama native Scott Riggs failed to make the field. Another possibility would have been Thomasville’s Brian Vickers, who sometimes drives the No. 55 Toyota in which Mark Martin started out front Saturday.

Who else? There was a bit of a scary aspect to the story of how Earnhardt Jr. came to be sitting out the Bank of America 500.

Earnhardt sought medical at-tention regarding some problems he was experiencing in the wake of two concussions, one that went unreported after a crash during a Kansas test session and another that occurred in the last-lap crash at Talladega last week.

What if he had not sought medi-cal attention? He’d probably have competed. Doctors didn’t approve Earnhardt for competition when he sought them out.

“I don’t know if he knew going in there that there was a possibility that could happen,” teammate Jeff Gordon said. “I think he just wanted to diagnose what was going on. If you’ve got headaches a day later after an accident, then obviously you’ve got to go see somebody.”

But how many don’t seek medical attention? Based on the responses of many drivers at Charlotte Motor Speedway this weekend, it’s … a lot.

Trade-offs of age — Mark Martin, 53 years old and no longer compet-ing full time, put his Toyota on the outside of the front row at Charlotte. Martin’s evaluation of his skills at this late stage in his career sort of echoed the Toby Keith song to the effect that he’s “not as good as I once was, but I’m as good once as I ever was.”

“I’m still as fiery a competitor as I was the first time I came here in ’81,” Martin said. “In some ways, I’m better than I was in 1981; some ways, I’m not as good. I work with what I have just like it was the first time I came here. I was working with what I had …

“If I was racing for 30th or 25th, I wouldn’t be here tonight. But, some-how or another, I’ve been blessed to be in great race cars, and I’ve managed to be able to do what I do and there’s no reason to quit based on all those fac-tors. It’s the fire. It’s the desire.”

Musical cockpits — In lieu of Earnhardt, Regan Smith, freshly and conveniently out of the Furniture Row Chevy in favor of Kurt Busch,

climbed into the No. 88 for at least the next two races. When Smith decided to take the ride — and who wouldn’t? — James Finch turned to A.J. Allmendinger to pilot his No. 51.

“It’s going to be the best car I’ve sat in, yes, there is no denying that,” Smith said. “I just want to go out and make the most of it.”

What’s the punch line? Perhaps in gratitude for taking Earnhardt’s ride for a race or two, and because of Earnhardt’s recommendation, Rick Hendrick said he was think-ing about running Smith for the Nationwide Series championship next year.

� The only possible explana-tion for the Bank of America 500 estimated attendance (100,000) was an unwillingness to list it in five figures. For the second week in a row, attendance was the lowest since NASCAR began listing attendance estimates at each track in 2003.� Dale Earnhardt Jr., acting on

the advice of doctors, sat out the Charlotte Motor Speedway race and will also miss the next race in Kansas City, Kan. Earnhardt is suffering from a concussion in the last-lap crash at Talladega. He also took a hard hit a month earlier while testing at Kansas Speedway.� For the first time since

May 1961, no natives of North Carolina made the starting field for a Cup race … and the race was in North Carolina.� It had been since September

1979 that a major NASCAR race had no driver with the last name Earnhardt in the fi eld. David Pear-son won the next-to-last race of his legendary career in the Southern 500 at Darlington, driving the injured Dale Earnhardt’s Chevy.� Carl Edwards’ season-long

slump seems to have at least slowed. He has a fifth and a seventh in the past three races after failing to finish better than 17th in five straight.� Charlotte Motor Speedway

is famous for its pre-race stunts. Nik Wallenda walked a high wire from the upper deck of the front-straight grandstands to a point high above pit road, and it was one of the better stunts in CMS history.

CONCORD, N.C. — The news that hit NASCAR just before its fall weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway was a shocker … and almost totally unexpected.

Dale Earnhardt Jr., the most popular driver in the sport, wasn’t racing in the Bank of America 500. Or, for that matter, in the Kansas Casino 400 a week later.

It turned that Earnhardt, one of 12 drivers eligible for the championship through the Chase for the Sprint Cup format, had been hiding a concussion originally suffered while testing at Kansas Speedway a month earlier.

When Earnhardt was involved in another crash, on the final lap of the Good Sam 500 at Talladega on Oct. 7, his difficulties recurred, and Earnhardt thought it best to consult doctors, who determined it would be best for the 38-year-old veteran to sit out at least two Cup races. Regan Smith substituted for Earnhardt at Charlotte and will do so again in Kansas.

“Just for my own well-being, I couldn’t ... if I didn’t

need to go get in a race car and get hit again, I needed somebody to tell me that, because I was going to have a hard time making that decision for myself,” Earnhardt said. “I feel perfectly fine, but I don’t want to keep get-ting hit in the head.”

To a man, all of Earnhardt’s peers united in support of his decision. Some revealed that they had suffered concus-sions themselves without seeking medical attention. It was a sobering week for observers who began considering whether they had been lulled into a false sense of com-placency and security over the revolutionary advances in safety that had occurred since Dale Earnhardt’s fatal crash in the 2001 Daytona 500.

Shortly after marveling that every driver walked away from a spectacular, 25-car crash at Talladega, many realized that walking away and being OK aren’t neces-sarily the same.

Sometimes it’s more than a 500 mile race among 43 cars. Sometimes it’s a race between speed and safety, and in that competition, safety is a moving target.

John Clark/NASCAR This WeekDale Earnhardt Jr., seen after a wreck in 2011, missed Sunday’s race after suffering two concussions. The driver was supported by his peers, many of whom said they had suffered concussions without getting medical attention. The topic was a sobering one at CMS.

Notable AbsenceEarnhardt Jr.’s presence greatly missed at Charlotte

Where It Once StartedNASCAR seasons once began not in Daytona

Beach, Fla., but Riverside, Calif. On Jan. 23, 1972, Richard Petty drove his STP Plymouth to victory in the Winston Western 500 on the famed road course, beating Bobby Allison by more than a minute in a race shortened from 191 to 149 laps. It took 3 hours, 45 minutes and 11 seconds, anyway. Amazingly, NASCAR ran 500-mile road races at Riverside in that era. Today’s NASCAR road races are only a bit over 200 miles in length.

VERSUS

Ah, one week it works and the next it doesn’t. David Ragan managed to get through “the Big One” at Talladega for a fourth-place finish. The next week, at Charlotte, his Ford gets tangled up with Jeff Burton’s Chevy on the 16th lap. NASCAR officials later penalized Ragan, who had returned to the race, with a “wave-around infraction.”

NASCAR This Week’s Monte Dutton gives his take: “Ah, these things happen. Even highly skilled drivers make mistakes. No malice here. Just imperfection.”

JEFF BURTON VS. DAVID RAGAN

Kansas ‘Awesome’ AgainSince Denny Hamlin won the STP 400 at Kan-

sas Speedway on April 27, the 1.5-mile track has been repaved and reconfigured. Where once its turns were banked at a uniform 15 degrees, they are now variably banking, “topping off” (i.e., at the top) at 20 degrees. Nine Sprint Cup teams tested the new surface on Aug. 28-29 and, by and large, gave it their blessing. “I think they did a really nice job repaving,” said Matt Kenseth. “Drivers aren’t huge fans of ‘repaves,’ especially being the first ones at a track, but (at the test) the cars were more comfortable on the track. I think the repave is awesome.”

� Who’s hot: Clint Bowyer collected his third victory of the season, and it came at Charlotte, which had been one of his weaker tracks. ... Denny Hamlin drew eight points closer to leader Brad Keselowski with a runner-up fi nish.� Who’s not: Jeff Gordon had a miserable showing at one of his favorite tracks: 18th, two laps down. ... Tony Stewart (13th) and Gordon are both 50 points behind at the halfway point of the Chase for the Sprint Cup.

Dear NASCAR This Week, I wanted to speak up for all of those who listen to the races on MRN (my local station is in Owensboro, Ky.) I do not have cable TV. I found it hard to believe that the race, with very few cautions, took up all its time that they had to break away and go back to their regular programming that quickly. I mean, they had just announced that the crash had broken out and that one car was on its roof (they named the wrong driver and car) and that Johnson’s car was on fire, and they broke away and started playing music. I was shocked that they did that! My computer is in the shop, so I couldn’t find out what was going on. I used my phone to text the question to Facebook to find out where my driver finished and that he was not the one that finished upside down even though they announced that he was. ... It is sad that they changed so quickly, and with a crash on the final lap of a restrictor-plate race. It reminded me of the Daytona 500 in 2001 when Dale Earnhardt died. …

Dan MenyNewburgh, Ind.

The MRN feed continued on for some time after the race ended. Undoubtedly, it was your local station that chose to leave the Talladega broadcast early and return to other programming.
