FARM BILL AGRICULTURE SAFETY NET

Darrell Monfort

What’s in the farm bill?

• price supports and/or crop insurance for commodity crops

• conservation programs that affect land, water and soil use

• agricultural exports and food aid, including humanitarian assistance to other nations

• food assistance programs for poor Americans

• direct and guaranteed loans to farmers and ranchers

• forestry programs managed by the U.S. Forest Service

• programs promoting renewable fuels such as ethanol

• crop insurance and disaster assistance

Few have kept as keen an eye on agriculture through their lives as Darrell Monfort.

His interest has been whetted by growing up on the family farm, two miles northwest of Iola, and tending to untold numbers of farm animals since earning a degree in veterinary medicine from Kansas State University in 1976.

As Allen County Farm Bureau’s policy chairman, he has watched closely as congressmen have wres-tled to fashion a new farm bill.

Monfort, 59, has some thoughts about what would be good for farm-ers and all in the nation.

Times have changed, he said, to the point that price support is a dinosaur. Financial advantage for those who raise enough to feed the nation’s 320 million and many oth-ers around the world is likely to be more of a safety net to deal with disastrous conditions, such as the drought that has gripped the mid section of the country this year.

That’s found in crop insurance, around for years and subsidized by the federal government. Monfort expects a new version to be more comprehensive.

If he were to have a say, cattle-men and those who grow fruits and vegetables also would be targeted.

Stanley Dreher, who has been on both sides of the issue as a farmer and state representative, albeit a farm bill is federal legislation, agrees.

“We need to expand crop in-surance,” he said. “It has been a

lifesaver the last two years. Some farmers wouldn’t be in business today if it weren’t for crop insur-ance.”

Dreher agrees that expansion to things other than core farm crops — corn, soybeans and wheat local-ly — “would be great.”

“WE HAVE unprecedented pric-es today,” Monfort said.

Corn prices in the $8-a-bushel range and soybeans selling for twice that much or more, have pre-cluded the need for price support, he opined, although “if you don’t have a crop the price doesn’t mean anything.”

That is where insurance enters the mix, along with disaster relief measures.

Monfort thinks all-encompass-ing aspects of federal participa-tion in the nation’s single largest industry is particularly important because of what shakes out at har-vest — for any commodity — and when it’s time to send livestock to

have celebrated pretty much all that’s known about silent comic genius and Piqua native Buster Keaton, as well as other film and stage stars from his era.

Tuesday morning a flock of 10 doves took flight from Iola’s High-land Cemetery to Topeka — they made it safely.

The doves were released as part of Lena Conger’s funeral ceremo-ny. Son Ken Slife and his daughter Barbie Weber took a trip to Tope-ka where they collected the doves from Bob Everson.

Everson trained the doves to fly up to 600 miles. The trip from Iola to Topeka took the doves three hour.

When Weber and her father took the cages back to Everson they were happy to see that the birds made it home safely.

It was reported in Tuesday’s Register that Ken Slife was the brother of the recently deceased, Lena Conger, and that Barbie We-ber was the niece. Slife is in fact the son of Conger and Weber a granddaughter.

Doves get home safely

By JOHN HANNAAssociated Press

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas Gov. Sam Brown-back abruptly replaced his labor secretary Thurs-day, a week after his ad-ministration touted her efforts to streamline her department and had her touring the state with oth-er high-ranking officials to promote his economic policies.

Former Secretary Karen Brownlee said the Republi-can governor removed her from the top job at the De-partment of Labor and she suggested they disagreed over how well the agency was running.

She has touted her ef-forts to cut administrative costs and staff — saying they haven’t hurt servic-

es — but Democrats and union organizations have seen her as anti-labor.

Brownback’s office an-nounced Brownlee’s de-parture in a short state-ment without giving a reason and said Rep. Lana Gordon of Topeka would serve as interim secre-tary.

The statement did not thank Brownlee for her service or highlight ac-complishments, some-thing common when even controversial appointees leave voluntarily.

Brownlee told The As-sociated Press her depar-ture wasn’t voluntary and that she didn’t sign a res-ignation letter. She said Caleb Stegall, the gover-nor’s chief counsel, told her she was expected to

step down.“I think the governor

and I measure perfor-mance in different ways,” Brownlee said. “It’s hard to understand.”

Brownback spokes-woman Sherriene Jones-Sontag declined to discuss the reasons for Brown-lee’s departure, adding, “It’s a personnel matter.”

The Department of Labor’s most visible jobs are determining when out-of-work Kansans are eligible for unemploy-ment benefits, distribut-ing those benefits to them and ensuring that they are actively seeking new jobs. The agency also re-leases monthly reports on unemployment and the state’s labor market, and settles disputes between

injured workers and em-ployers over medical care and other benefits.

Brownback and Brown-lee are both conservative Republicans, and she had served in his adminis-tration since he became governor in January 2011. Even last week, the administration issued a statement praising Brownlee’s management of her department and quoting her as saying that agencies could improve

services without more money.

The statement high-lighted a seven-city tour with Brownback’s secretaries of revenue and commerce, in part to counter criticism of massive income tax cuts enacted this year. Brown-back and other support-ers believe the cuts will stimulate the economy, but critics believe they’ll produce big budget short-falls.

Labor chief says governor fired her

SidewaysIncoming eastbound traffic to Iola on U.S. 54 was limited to one lane for more than an hour Friday morning after the end of a trailer tandem tipped over while it was being pulled by a highway transport. The driver told authorities he was turn-ing onto U.S. 54 from the U.S. 169 off ramp when the load apparently shifted in the trailer, causing it to tip.

Each day will feature panel discussions of “20 Years of Keaton Cel-ebrations,” featuring long-time Keaton Fes-tival Committee mem-bers Mary Martin, Amy Specht, Clyde Toland, Fred Krebs, John Tib-betts and Frank Scheide.

SEVERAL OTHERS well versed in the history of silent film and Keaton will be on hand.

Guest speakers will talk about Keaton’s fam-ily tree, particularly on his mother’s side, and its affiliation with vaude-ville; how Appalachian feud stereotypes influ-enced Keaton’s classic film “Our Hospitality;” a presentation on two of Keaton’s most renowned films, “The Captain” and “The General;” a look at Keaton in the 1920s; prac-tical jokes and wacky in-ventions; the Talmadge and Keaton families; and a discussion on “Preserv-ing Buster.”

Friday evening’s screenings are “The High

Sign” and “Our Hospital-ity;” Saturday’s are “Par-adise For Buster” and “The General.”

And much like each of the previous 19 rendi-tions, the 20th offers free admission to all Keaton events.

The free admission is made possible through financial contributions from the Kansas Human-ities Council, the Sleeper Family Trust, the Clop-ton Family Trust, the Iola Convention and Tourism Committee and with help from other private dona-tions.

Opinion

American men and women who dropped out before gradu-ating from high school are los-ing years of life expectancy, re-searchers have discovered.

They don’t know why. Those with a college degree or more are living longer. The popula-tion as a whole keeps gaining a year or two of life. But the under-educated are dying ear-lier. The sharpest drop was found in white women. They seemed to have lost five years of life between 1990 and 2008 — a relatively short period and a shocking step backward in life expectancy.

The research into causes has yet to be done, so public health experts are guessing. Women without a high school diploma tend to smoke more. They are more likely to be overweight. Because their group tends to be poorer than the general pop-ulation, they are less likely to have health insurance.

Comparative genetic studies have not been made.

A deeper look into the stud-ies shows that the comparison between white women with-out a high school diploma and those with a college degree or more is even more dramatic: 73.5 years of life in comparison to 83.9 years. White men who dropped out have a life expec-tancy of 67.5 years in compari-son to 80.4 years for a man with a college degree or better.

In comparisons with other nations, U.S. women fell to 41st place in the United Na-tions rankings, down from 14th place in 1985. Among de-veloped countries, American women sank from the middle of the pack in 1970 to last place

in 2010, according to the Hu-man Mortality Database.

Studies at Harvard, the Univer-sity of Colorado, the American Cancer Society, the MacArthur Foundation and other institu-tions produced similar facts.

IT IS EASY to see why the U.S. suffers in comparison with other developed coun-tries in life expectancy. The United States is the only rich country in the world without a universal health care system. Poor men and women with-out health insurance in the U.S. are also without adequate health care.

But there is more to these tragic numbers than that.

Perhaps the greatest fail-ure of our political and so-cial structure is that it has produced a large underclass. There are far too many Ameri-cans without adequate hous-ing; without an education; without decent clothing or a healthy diet; without a full time job; without prospects for a good life.

When sociologists and pub-lic health experts complete their studies and learn why the under-educated are losing years of life, they will doubt-less discover that part of the answer is because they have lived in America’s gutters, so to speak, and had to struggle to keep body and soul together. The effort to merely exist takes a fearful toll on these forgotten Americans who are largely in-visible to most of us.

This is one of the ways that the United States of America is exceptional.

Coal Creek reprise:Last week we took a mind’s

eye trip to where as a youngster I fished, explored and drank from a spring, trickling from a layer of shale, which no doubt violated by several octaves today’s stan-dards of hygiene.

When I was 9, Dad agreed I was old enough to have a 410 shotgun and go along to hunt squirrels.

Early one morning we drove to Coal Creek and Dad stationed me a few feet from a mulberry tree, with a gnarly mass laden with fruit of varying ripeness.

Stay still and don’t make any sound, he instructed. Eager to become a successful hunter, I obeyed explicitly.

Before long I noticed in the corner of my eye small limbs and leaves rustling in a nearby tree. A squirrel, eager for nour-ishment, was bound for the mul-berry tree.

My little heart started pound-ing, beads of perspiration broke out on my brow — I don’t know if it was from heat and humidity or

excitement — and soon the squir-rel was munching on mulberries, with controlled urgency.

Be patient, Dad had said.When you decide to fire, move

the brand spanking new H&R single shot slowly to your shoul-der. I did as told, and with the squirrel in my sights I squeezed the trigger.

Nothing happened. The squir-rel kept eating and I was momen-tarily puzzled by why the gun didn’t fire.

Then, it came to me. I hadn’t pulled back the hammer.

I went through another series of preparation, this time with hammer engaged, and enough No. 6 pellets struck the squirrel

to send it to that big nut grove in the sky.

At home I learned how to clean a squirrel, cutting under its tail and making slits along each side. I put one foot on the tail, gave it a jerk by its hind legs and quickly removed most of its skin. The rest was academic, including dis-carding all of its innards, except the liver. Squirrel livers, as well as those we took from muskrats in the winter, were excellent bait for channel cat.

Mom finished the fine cleaning and that night the squirrel took center stage on our kitchen ta-ble, where we ate three sit-down meals a day.

She fried the squirrel, includ-ing my favorite then, its brains, and made gravy from tatters in the big iron skillet. Biscuits were obligatory, along with mashed potatoes and some green vegeta-ble, probably peas.

It’s been more than 60 years since that first-squirrel event, but it remains clearly etched in my mind.

The famous motivational au-thor, Dr. Steven Covey, often preached that “everyone should begin with the end in mind.” His quote relates well our message to the public regarding our strategic planning for our one-, five- and 10-year goals for USD 257.

During the most recent school board meeting, we unveiled a number of short- and long-term goals to the public.

Although much more planning is needed before plans are put in place, the vision statements give students, staff, parents and com-munity members a look at USD 257’s direction.

The vision plans consist of themes regarding concepts for maximizing our facilities, per-sonnel, curriculum, instructional capabilities, early childhood edu-cation programs, alternative edu-cation plans and professional de-velopment opportunities for the next 10 years.

Although the plan is only in its first draft, the district has been proactive in identifying positive aspects of USD 257 and areas where we can improve.

We also evaluated how others such as the Kansas State Depart-ment of Education, Kansas As-sociation of School Boards, com-munity members and the state government see our district.

We also want to learn of pro-grams the district wishes to pursue.

Our Sept. 10 meeting was at the old LaHarpe Elementary School building, where board members revisited the issues that led to its closure in May 2009. We dis-cussed how we might learn from the experience and move forward as a district.

We also created an online sur-vey and notified parents regard-ing ways that we could improve communication through our web-

site, Facebook, emails and phone calls to all parents.

Survey results will be updated frequently to the school board.

In October the focus shifts to developing specific action plans for accountability and priorities within each theme.

The district’s staff apprecia-tion committee will be proac-tive to improve communication, morale and relations with staff, students, parents and the commu-nity.

Finally, the USD 257 facilities planning committee continues to look at options for the possibility of building new school buildings.

Although strategic planning takes time to develop and build consensus, it is worthy of our en-ergy. Not only does this allow us to “begin with the end in mind,” but it reminds us that developing our students is worth the effort.

Doctor Covey would be ex-tremely pleased.

District keeps eye on goals as plans take shape

Brian Pekarek

USD 257Superintendentof Schools

We talked business during the 11-hour drive to Colorado.

Me, newspaper. Brian, medi-cine.

While he drove, I knitted. By Hays, I had to rip out eight inch-es.

Not a good start.One of my goals this week was

to quit taking an anti-depressant I began a year after my moth-er’s death three years ago. Slow response? Despite several at-tempts, my heart outpaced ratio-nality. I’ve hated the dependency.

For only the second time in my life I’ve come out to our firetrap of a cabin, alone. (Brian doesn’t count.) The first time was 34 years ago for a honeymoon. Oth-er than that, the cabin has served as a family meeting place.

Yes, it’s been selfish.One of the big disadvantages

of our mountain retreat is it now receives Internet and phone ser-vices. I can’t imagine where a satellite receiver is positioned. A star?

So Monday morning Brian participated in a two-hour phone conference. The rest of the week his phone was on mute and he’s never looked at it again.

I caught myself reading head-lines on my phone until one de-licious afternoon we went into the Estes Park Public Library so Brian, yes, could email a report,

while I sat in a big comfy chair reading the New York Times. For the better part of an hour I read section after section of the volu-minous paper, catching up, of all things, on the new fashions for spring.

Which brings me to my legs. In early June I had a melanoma re-moved from the back of my right calf, resulting in a two-inch cir-cle of skin being carved out. All summer I wore long pants hiding the hideous thing, mad at myself for thinking I was somehow im-mune to skin cancer.

Today, the scar is a bright pink circle with a line going across the center. Kind of like a do not enter sign.

To make me feel good, Brian said it looks like a peace sign tat-too gone awry.

Our first day hiking, two young women zipped past us, running the steep trail. I envied their perfect legs, strong with nary a freckle.

What got me out of my frump

was reading Nora Ephron’s “I Feel Bad About My Neck.” Eph-ron was in her mid-60s when she wrote the light-hearted book about the ravages of aging. Turtlenecks and hair dye are the most effective ways to cam-ouflage advancing years. Other-wise, get over yourself.

I still dab concealer on my peace sign. I’m way too old for a tattoo.

THE BULK of our week we’ve never strayed more than a few rooms apart. We’ve walked or ran every day. We’ve each read two books. Oohed and awed over the golden aspen. Marveled at waking up to a snow-covered front range only to see it erased by an afternoon rain. Laughed at the high-pitch wailing of the elk down in the meadow.

Perhaps it is because of this vacation, coupled with time gone by, that I think I’ll be able to han-dle the full brunt of life without the medication.

I think it was by Wednesday that I’d stopped thinking of the newspaper as a job, but rather as an opportunity. With each pass-ing day, I’d find myself wanting to share these thoughts with you.

So I’ve come full circle. For the drive home today I’ll get my knit-ting out. The test will be if it re-sults in a recognizable shape.

To the editor:Each time I see the Allen

County commissioners want to remove the Iola ambulances from the Iola Fire Department it gets me very upset. I am a widow of a fireman who spent 18 years of his life as a fire-man and EMT, which they were called then.

I do NOT think that some-one from Humboldt or another

town should be trying to take it away from the Iola Fire Depart-ment. You have your own am-bulance right in Humboldt. I know the county has its in Iola, too. However, they make runs to Wichita, Topeka, and wher-ever a patient needs to go to a larger hospital.

The Iola Fire Department does NOT take its ambulances out of town. I feel much safer knowing

they are in town and will be right to my house within minutes. I know because they picked me up when I fell and broke by ankle and were right by my side in a matter of minutes. We also need to keep a full-time fire depart-ment. Iola is a large enough town that we can NOT have just a vol-unteer one.

When the Iola Fire Department firemen was the only ones in

town who drove the ambulances we did not have to have several buildings to keep all the vehicles, etc. that the county now has. I am sure that all that upkeep is quite expensive.

Thank you for letting me say what I think.

Everyone has a right to their thoughts, too.

Lavon R. Johnson,Iola, Kan.

KICKS COUNTRY IN IOLA Trading Post — 8 a.m. - 9 a.m.

market depends on forces a farmer can’t control.

Pure and simple, farm-ers are at the mercy of the weather.

“Cattlemen got hammered two ways this year,” Monfort observed. “Grain prices were forced up by the drought,” which increased finishing costs in feedlots, “and the drought dried up pasture grass and ponds and cut into hay production.”

Fewer cattle are on hoof today than in years and the numbers are likely to dimin-ish even more if the dry spell continues into fall and win-ter, an outcome that weather experts say is likely. That en-courages need for some sort of insurance plan for live-stock.

“A lot of farmers aren’t go-ing to haul water all winter,” Monfort predicted, and will opt to sell off herds rather than battle the elements and high-priced forage.

A large number of cattle,

including breeding stock, have passed through area livestock auctions ahead of recent showers, which did little more than green grass and raise spirits. Many stock-water ponds remain low or are dry.

When winter weather turns harsh, a fear is cattle will bog themselves down in muddy margins of ponds while trying to reach water and die.

An aside that worries Mon-fort is with cattle numbers so low, “it will take a while — probably years — to rebuild the national herd.”

CONSERVATION prac-tices are a component of the farm bill and are dear to Monfort.

Much of his acreage has been turned to wetlands or put in the Conservation Re-serve Program (CRP). Farm-ers are paid to keep land out of production if it is highly erodible — CRP’s function — or is set aside to the advan-tage of wildlife.

This year, when drought burned meadows the same as everything else, the U.S. Department of Agriculture released CRP grassland for haying, but Monfort’s grass didn’t become eligible until heat and dry weather had taken a toll.

“I think we need a better release program” for CRP acres to combat drought con-ditions, he said.

Farm bills — they became a component of national pol-icy more than 60 years ago — include provisions for food aid through humanitarian assistance to other nations, as well as food assistant pro-grams for poor Americans, and help ensure children at-tending public schools have nourishing meals.

“About 80 percent of the (expiring) farm bill dealt with the needy (through food stamps in the U.S.) and schools,” Monfort said.

Although he has a heart for the unfortunate and the young, Monfort thinks “we also have to take a look at the

costs, but we do need to get the commodities out there.”

Support for ethanol pro-duction gets mixed reviews in the countryside. Those who raise corn are eager for more lucrative markets, but whatever role ethanol has played in driving up the price of corn is disadvantage for those who feed livestock — with some reservations. Distiller’s grain, the byprod-uct of ethanol, has become a staple in feeding cattle.

“The high price of corn, coupled with lower quality from drought and heat, has closed some ethanol plants,” Monfort noted.

GRIDLOCK that has gripped Congress since Re-publicans took control of the House two years ago, has as-sailed the farm bill as it has other legislation.

“Farmers need to know well ahead of planting time what to expect,” Monfort said. “You have to buy seed and fertilizer” long before its time to hook planter to trac-

tor. “If you wait, you can’t find seed.”

The flashpoint is Sept. 30, when the current farm bill ends.

“If we don’t have a new one, we’ll go to back to 1949 and while I don’t know for sure what that would mean, I don’t think it would be too pertinent to today,” Monfort said.

The importance of a stable agricultural economy isn’t lost on the Allen Counties of the nation, he said.

“Not taking anything away from Gates or any of our oth-

er industries, agriculture is the biggest industry we have here,” Monfort stated. “The dollars coming from agri-culture far exceeds anything else. It’s important to Iola and Allen County.

“We have three implement dealers in Iola, more than a lot of cities several times our size,” he continued. “They cover many counties and people come here” to visit the dealerships and “then spend money on food and fuel and shop in our stores.

“There are 23 million jobs in the U.S.” directly attrib-utable to agriculture, with return to farmers less of a percentage of many casual observers might think.

“The last figure I saw was that 16 cents from each dol-lar of food sales goes to the American farmer,” who is more efficient than any oth-ers in the world, he said. “We have the lowest percentage at 12 to 14 percent of disposable income going for food, much less than anywhere else in the world.”

Farm bill stalled in Congress a political hot potatoBy MARY CLARE

JALONICKAssociated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — Farm-state members of Congress have campaigned for decades on the back of farm bills delivering elec-tion-season subsidies and other goodies to rural voters.

Not this year. The bill is stalled, primarily because House GOP leaders don’t want a noisy fight over food stamps this close to the elec-tion. That poses a particular problem for some Republi-cans in tight races for the Senate or the House who will go home empty-handed when Congress adjourns this week.

Democrats are gloating.Democratic challengers

are using the farm bill as an example of how they say the Republican-run House is in-effective.

Current farm law, which extends subsidy payments to farmers and pays for food stamps, is scheduled to ex-pire Sept. 30, with no new law in place for the first time in recent memory.

Failure to get a farm bill is affecting a Senate race in Montana and House races in Iowa, South Dakota, Colo-

rado and Illinois.Farm policy has tradition-

ally been one of the more bipartisan issues on Capitol Hill. It still is, to an extent — the Senate in June passed a five-year farm bill with al-most two-thirds of the cham-ber supporting it. A separate version passed the House Agriculture Committee in July with Republican and Democratic support.

Calling it a farm bill is something of a misnomer. Food stamps make up rough-ly 80 percent of the costs in both versions. The House would cut them 2 percent, angering many Democrats who don’t want them cut at all and Republicans who say they should be cut more. The Senate version would cut them by one-half of 1 per-cent.

Since 2008, the food stamp program has more than doubled in cost, to $80 bil-lion a year, driven by high, sustained unemployment, rising food prices and ex-panded eligibility under President Barack Obama’s 2009 economic stimulus law. Food stamps now help feed roughly 46 million Ameri-cans, or 1 in 7.

It is unclear how angry rural voters will be about the lack of a farm bill. The farm economy has been strong in recent years, and expiration won’t mean an immediate loss of benefits for most farmers. But farm-state members argue that the certainty of federal policy is necessary for farm-ers making their annual business plans this fall and approaching bankers for loans.

Punting the bill may also mean less money overall. While both chambers’ ver-sions of the bill would save tens of billions of dollars from current spending, the agriculture committees may be asked to save even more as budgets tighten fur-ther next year.

“They are concerned there will be fewer resourc-es if we do it next year, so they worry it will hurt their crop insurance,” Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, said of farm-ers in his state, where he and Rep. Tom Latham both face serious challenges from Democrats.

King and Berg — along with Republican House col-leagues Denny Rehberg of

Montana, Kristi Noem of South Dakota and others — have made repeated appeals to Speaker John Boehner of Ohio and other GOP lead-ers to bring the Agriculture Committee’s bill to the floor before Congress adjourns this week.

“The farm bill is far too important for too many Montanans to let election-year politics get in the way of doing the right thing,” said Rehberg, who is in a competitive Senate race.

Noem, who is defend-ing her House seat against Democrat Matt Varilek, said party leaders are hesitant to bring up a vote on a bill that they think might fail.

Rep. Tim Huelskamp, R-Kan., said the legislation has turned into “a food stamp bill” that has bogged down because of both the presidential and congres-sional campaigns.

“There’s not 218 votes to pass it,” Huelskamp told re-porters. “It’s going to be very tough to do that, even in a lame-duck session.”

Some House Democrats also are scrambling for cover. Rep. Bruce Braley, D-Iowa, who faces a challenge

from 2010 opponent Ben Lange, last week introduced a discharge petition to place the bill on the floor calendar over House leaders’ objec-tions.

Though Berg, Noem, Rehberg and a handful of other Republicans signed it, a majority of the House is needed — unlikely when Republicans hold 240 seats to Democrats’ 190 and after conservative groups came out against the bill as too expensive.

“I am frustrated that it’s not progressing,” Berg said of the bill. “The unfortunate thing is that I am seeing it become political, which it re-ally hasn’t been for the last year and a half.”

Heidi Heitkamp is up with radio ads in North Dakota criticizing Berg for “toeing the party line” on farm pro-grams and endorsing some

agriculture cuts. In the ad, targeted at farmers who lis-ten to the radio while out in the fields, she reminds vot-ers that agriculture is a $6 billion industry in the state.

Democratic Sen. Jon Tes-ter of Montana, who is fac-ing the challenge from Reh-berg and is himself a farmer, calls the House’s failure to take up the farm bill “total craziness.”

The House in July passed a bill that would help live-stock producers who are losing money because of a widespread drought, but the Senate has declined to take that up, with Senate Agri-culture Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow saying that simi-lar benefits are included in the larger bill. Republicans Rehberg and Berg have coun-tered Democratic attacks by saying the Senate should consider that legislation.

They are concerned there will be fewer re-sources if we do it next year, so they worry it will hurt their crop insurance.

— Rep. Steve King,R-Iowa

The Kansas Indoor Clean Air Act went into effect in 2010 and, “people are really beginning to notice that they really can’t smoke in restaurants and bars any-more,” Kunkler said.

Nineteen percent of Al-len Countians are smokers. Kunkler and other Thrive members are dedicated on making the county resi-dents healthier.

Some of the benefits of quitting is saving money, avoiding risk of heart at-

tack and death. Also stroke and lung cancer risks are less for non-smokers.

KanQuit not only focuses on helping smokers quit but also the people who use smokeless tobacco. Even with smokeless cigarettes people are at a higher risk of getting mouth and throat cancer.

• Save money. A pack-a-day smoker can save $150 a month by quitting.

• 1 year after quitting smoking, the excess risk of heart attack and death from heart disease is cut in half.

• 10 years after quitting smoking, the lung cancer death rate is about half.

• 5 - 15 years after quitting smoking, the stroke risk is reduced to that of a nonsmoker.

• Smokers who quit by age 30 eliminate nearly all excess risk associated with smoking.

• Smokers who quit before age 50 cut their risk of dying in the next 15 years in half.

We have the lowest percent-age at 12 to 14 percent of dispos-able income go-ing for food, much less than any-where else in the world.

Mustangs upend Buffalos in Pioneer playBy JOCELYN SHEETS

[email protected] Iola High’s Mustangs

cleared away the homecoming cobwebs, they produced a strong second half Friday night.

The Mustangs posted a 27-16 victory over the visiting Prairie View High Buffalos in a Pioneer League clash. Iola improved to 2-0 in Pioneer action while Prairie View dropped to 2-1 in league play.

Trailing 8-7 at halftime on homecoming night, the Mustang seniors had the floor in the locker room.

“We let them take it at halftime. It’s their homecoming. Their se-nior year,” said Doug Kerr, Mus-tang head coach. “The players re-sponded and we had a great team win.”

Mason Coons, senior quarter-back, finished off two Iola drives with touchdown runs in the sec-ond half. Eric Heffern, senior linebacker, had one of three quar-terback sacks.

“We just had to realize it was homecoming and everything was on the line for us seniors,” Coons said of the halftime talk. “We had to start playing as a team. No one’s head was in the game in the first half.

“The second half was one of the best team halves we’ve had all season.”

The Mustangs took the open-ing drive of the second half on a 69-yard march. It was 12 plays, finished off by a 13-yard run to the end zone by Coons. The extra-point kick was blocked but Iola led 13-8.

Prairie View was powered by sophomore running back Blake Barnes. Barnes accounted for 128 of the Buffalos’ 142 yards of total offense.

Barnes had back-to-back runs that pushed his team down the field on the ensuing possession. On a fourth-and-goal play at the Iola two-yard line, quarterback Shey Spears pushed over the goal line for the Buffalos. He flipped a two-point pass to a teammate, put-

ting his team up 16-13.There was just over five min-

utes left in the third quarter. Iola had a three-and-out then stopped Prairie View on seven plays, tak-ing over the football on downs at Iola’s own 24-yard line.

The Mustang go-ahead drive began with 1:31 on the clock in the third quarter. It consumed nearly

almost 4 minutes, 30 seconds.Iola had 12 plays on the march

of 76 yards. Coons found senior Jacob Harrison for a 17-yard pass play on the final snap of the third quarter.

A 15-yard face mask penalty against the Buffalos moved the Mustangs further down the field. John Whitworth, Coons and

Kaden Macha had runs to keep the ball moving closer to the Prai-rie View goal line.

Coons made a six-yard run to paydirt with 9:06 left in the game. Isaias Macias kicked the extra point.

“We had a sloppy first. The emotions of homecoming got to us and we didn’t play very well,”

Kerr said. “The second half we came out with a lot more inten-sity. I was proud of the seniors for taking over.

“A great effort all the way around — offensively and defen-sively in the second half. They got loose once in the second half but we shut the down. They’re a good football team and our kids responded well.”

Iola had 347 yards of total of-fense in a balanced attack — 175 rushing and 172 passing.

PITTSBURG — Pink was the color of the night but things were not in the pink for Iola High’s Fil-lies on the volleyball court.

The Fillies faced two famil-iar foes but in non-league ac-tion Thursday at Pittsburg High School. Iola took on Pittsburg’s Purple Dragons and Indepen-dence High’s Lady Bulldogs, both Southeast Kansas League teams, and lost.

It was senior night for the Purple Dragons. All three teams sported pink attire for Breast Cancer Awareness night at PHS.

The Fillies lost 25-16, 28-26 to

Independence. Pittsburg decked the Fillies 25-7, 25-7 then beat the Lady Bulldogs 25-13, 25-15.

“We had a rough day,” said Em-ily Sigg, IHS head coach. “Even with two losses, I’m still proud of the girls because I think we learned what we do well and what we need improvement on.

“As long as we are learning and getting better every week, we will have no choice but to become a better team.”

Against Independence, the Fillies got five kills from Emery Driskel and four kills from Katie Thompson. Addie Haar and Han-nah Endicott each delivered three kills. Breanna Stout made one

kill.Haar had two solo blocks at the

net and Kyra Moore had a solo block.

Moore was credited with 10 set assists and Emma Piazza had seven assists. Thompson served three aces and Driskel had an ace serve.

Emma Sigg and Driskel each had seven digs. Piazza and Moore had four digs apiece and Endicott had three digs.

In the Pittsburg match, Driskel and Stout each had two kills. En-dicott and Moore had one kill apiece. Driskel made one solo block at the net.

Not going anywhere on this play is Prairie View High’s Jake Bradley as Iola High’s John Whitworth tackles him right at the line of scrimmage. Iola’s Mustangs held the visiting Buffalos in check for a 27-16 win in Pioneer League play in a homecoming victory here Friday night.

HUMBOLDT — Humboldt High knew Oswego’s defensive front was going to prove a tough foe to conquer Friday night.

So the Cubs went to the air — a lot.

Behind Nathan Whitcomb’s 388 passing yards and five touch-downs — “If that’s not a school record, it’s close,” an assistant coach said — Humboldt flew away with a 50-6 win over Oswego.

The victory lifts the Cubs to 3-1 on the season.

“Tonight marked the first time we put together four good quar-ters of football together, offen-sively and defensively,” assistant coach Mike Miller said.

The passing game relied on a teamwork approach, Miller ex-plained.

The offensive line put up a

The Mustang defense came up big with a take-away on Prairie View’s next possession.

With senior noseguard Stephen McDonald in his face, Spears threw the foot-ball and Jacob Rhoads won the battle for the pass for the Mustangs. Rhoads’ in-terception set up another long drive by the Mustangs.

Iola moved the football on the ground and through the air but got stopped short of another touchdown.

A penalty moved the Mustangs from a second-and-one at the three-yard line. It came down to a fourth-and-two and Whit-worth was held to no gain.

Prairie View took over possession of the football. But on the first snap, Mc-Donald and Bryce Misen-helter stormed into the Buf-falo backfield and forced a fumble.

Barnes fumbled, picked the ball up and fumbled the ball again. The second time the football rolled into the end zone.

Macha recovered the foot-ball for a Mustang touch-down with 2:25 remaining in the ballgame. Macias kicked the extra point for a 27-16 lead.

Barnes returned the short ensuing kick to the Iola 32 yard line. A person-al-foul penalty against the Mustangs moved it further down the field.

Prairie View was called for holding on the next play

then a completed pass was for a two-yard loss. Two more incomplete passes left the Buffalos with a last-ditch effort on fourth down.

Iola sacked Shey on the play. There was 52 seconds left on the clock.

The Mustangs had the football and were going into victory formation. But before that happened, a per-sonal foul penalty was as-sessed against Iola and Eric Maxwell was ejected from the ballgame.

Two kneel downs by Coons ran final 52 seconds off.

“It’s homecoming. It’s huge. We got to get a win for homecoming,” Heffern said after the game. “The two wins in the Pioneer League are a huge confidence boost for us, especially since we go on the road for our two next league games.”

Things did not start out well for the Mustangs. Nei-ther team got much going offensively early.

With just over two min-utes left in the first quar-ter, Iola was forced to punt. Prairie View got through and blocked senior Zeph Larney’s punt.

Barnes scooped up the football and ran into the end zone from five yards out. The Buffalos tacked on a two-point conversion run to lead 8-0.

A bad snap and a fumble, which Iola retained, set the Mustangs back on their next possession. The Buf-

falos were driving but back-to-back tackles by Heffern including a nine-yard loss thwarted Prairie View.

Coons completed three passes on the next Iola drive. The big play of the drive was a 42-yard snare by Harrison, who was tack-led at the one-yard line.

Macha bulled over from a yard out, Macias’ kick made it 8-7 with 5:37 left in the second quarter.

That’s where it stood at halftime.

Whitworth finished with 63 yards on 15 carries. Rhoads had 54 yards on 12 rushes for Iola. Adam Kauth caught five passes for 54 yards and rushed for 15 yards.

Harrison, a senior, had three catches for 72 yards. Coons rushed for 52 yards and was 13 of 23 passing for 172 yards.

“Offensively, we threw the ball the best we’ve thrown all year long. Mason did a great job finding receivers and Ja-cob Harrison did a phenom-enal job catching the ball,” Kerr said.

“A great team win. We had to work for every yard we got. They were taking away the jet plays so we had to beat them in between the tackles. We challenged the offensive line.”

Kerr said the offensive line — seniors Eli Grover and Aaron Barclay, juniors Quinton Morrison and Der-rick Weir, sophomore Alex Bauer — and McDonald at fullback did a great job blocking.

Leading the charge de-fensively, Rhoads racked up six solo tackles, two as-sisted tackles and an inter-ception. McDonald came up with five solo stops and three assisted tackles. Whitworth had four solo tackles and three assisted.

Heffern, Misenhelter and Maxwell each had a quar-terback sack. Macha had two fumble recoveries.

Iola is 3-1 on the season and 2-0 in Pioneer League play. The Mustangs travel to Richmond next Friday with a league contest with Cen-tral Heights High’s Vikings.

steady wall of protection for Whitcomb to toss darts to myriad receivers.

“Nathan did a good job of reading the defense,” Miller said. “We knew they were strong front and that we’d have trouble running up the middle.”

So Humboldt usually left Whitcomb alone in the backfield, spreading out four and five receivers at time.

Whitcomb usually was spot on when finding the open receiver.

He tossed three touch-down passes to Tanner

McNutt in the first quar-ter, capping each of Hum-boldt’s first three drives. The receptions covered 52, 15 and 33 yards.

Whitcomb capped the 26-point first quarter with a 20-yard scoring strike to Noah Thornbrugh.

Hunter Murrow pushed the lead to 33-6 at the break, courtesy of a 20-yard in-terception return for a touchdown. Whitcomb’s fifth touchdown pass, at the 10:15 mark of the third quarter, covered 16 yards to Thornbrugh.

Senior kicker Hayden Boring got into the act mid-way through the third with a booming, 44-yard field goal.

Whitcomb capped the scoring on the defensive side of the ball, returning an Indian interception 55 yards for a score.

The Cubs registered 415 yards through the air, while limiting Oswego to 99. The Indians’ only touchdown came on the game’s open-ing kickoff.

“After the kickoff we thought, ‘Here we go again,’” Miller said.

Instead, Humboldt quick-ly caught fire on offense and clamped down on defense.

“The guys really did a good job of flying to the ball,” Miller said.

McNutt carded seven receptions for 181 yards. Crawford had three catches for 72 yards. Thornbrugh had 66 yards on six recep-tions and Johnson had 44 yards on three catches.

Hunter Murrow inter-cepted two Indian passes. Justin Meins also had one.

Boring led the Cub de-fense with 11 tackles. Dustin Prock and Carpen-ter had six apiece.

There was one area for improvement: Humboldt was whistled for a whop-ping 18 penalties, many for illegal blocking.Humboldt 26-7-10-7—50Oswego 6-0-0-0—6Oswego — Eckerman 90 yd kickoff return (run failed)Humboldt — McNutt 52 yd pass from Whitcomb (Boring kick)Humboldt — McNutt 15 yd pass from Whitcomb (PAT failed)Humboldt — McNutt 33 yd pass from Whitcomb (Boring kick)Humboldt — Thornbrugh 20 yd pass from Whitcomb (PAT failed)Humboldt — Murrow 20 yd inter-ception.return (Boring kick)Humboldt — Thornbrugh 16 yd pass from Whitcomb (Boring kick)Humboldt — Boring 44 yd field goalHumboldt — Whitcomb 55 yd inter-ception return (Boring kick) Oswego HumboldtFirst Downs 8 19Rushing yds 36-82 19-71Passing yds 17 415Total Offense 99 486Passing 3-18-4 22-32-0Fumbles-lost 2-0 2-2Punting 5/26 0Penalties-yds 7-65 18-170

HOWARD — Marmaton Valley High’s starters took the road Friday for the first time of the 2012 season.

They lasted all of one play.

Wildcat Kent Houk sent his starters to the bench after Marmaton Valley ran back the opening kickoff 60 yards for a touchdown.

Junior varsity players took it from there for the Wildcats, still piling up 46 points against a struggling West Elk squad.

The 46-0 victory ended at halftime.

“Their program is really struggling this season, so we gave our younger play-ers some valuable playing

time,” Houk said. “A few of them got their first Friday night touchdowns.”

A trio of freshmen did most of the damage.

Austin Deer had scor-ing rus covering 50 and 43 yards, part of a 10-carry, 133-yard performance. Mi-chael Beggs added 24 yards on three carries, including touchdown runs of two and 13 yards. Keagon Boyd pro-vided a 12-yard touchdown run.

West Elk struggled might-ily. The Patriots wound up with a negative eight yards of total offense. The Wild-cats did not attempt a pass, nor did they punt. West Elk punted six times.

Deer led Marmaton Val-ley with six tackles. Lane Hamm, a junior, had five stops.

“It was good to give our varsity players some rest for districts next week,” Houk said.

CHANUTE — All the scoring was done in the first half. Iola Middle School’s eighth-grade Po-nies were leading Royster Middle School’s Rockets 18-0 at halftime.

The Ponies posted an 18-0 win over their hosts at Cha-nute Thursday.

Quarterback Ben Cooper rushed for one touchdown and passed for another in the first quarter. Cooper put Iola up 6-0 on a one-yard run with 3:30 left in the pe-riod.

The lone pass comple-tion by Cooper for the game came with 20 seconds left in the first quarter. Cooper connected with Nate Evans for a 46-yard touchdown pass.

Iola rolled up 200 yards rushing in the game. Ev-ans had 116 on 16 carries. Behind a block by Seth Sanford, Evans scored from one-yard out at the 1:30 mark of the second quarter.

“We didn’t play great but we played hard and that was the difference tonight,” said Marty Taylor, IMS head football coach.

Garrett Wade had one carry for 42 yards. Ethan

Scheibmeir rushed for 18 yards on six carries and Mason Snavely had 12 yards on five carries.

Sanford had nine yards on three carries and Cooper made three yards on three

carries.Defensively, Chase Re-

gehr racked up 13 tackles for the Ponies. Sanford had six tackles and a quarter-back sack. Trea Mitchell made six tackles.

Gage Cleaver and Scheib-meir each had four tackles. Hunter Boren had three tackles. Cleaver made an interception. Boren had a quarterback sack and Ev-ans had two quarterback

sacks.“Chase made a couple of

mistakes early on defense but really stepped it up and had a great night,” Taylor said. “Garrett had another nice game for us.”

CALE BARNHART paced the IMS seventh-grade to a 30-12 victory over the Rockets.

Barnhart didn’t score a touchdown but rushed for 161 yards on 27 carries. The Ponies amassed 262 yards on the ground against the Rockets.

Evan Sigg, IMS quar-terback, put the Ponies on the scoreboard first with a one-yard touchdown run. Barnhart tacked on the two-point conversion.

Royster came back and scored on a 45-yard run. Iola stuffed the two-point conversion to keep the Po-nies in front 8-6.

The Rockets took a brief 12-8 lead at the 5:30 mark.

It was brief because Io-la’s Isaac Vink returned the ensuing kickoff 75 yards for a go-ahead touchdown.

Later in the second quar-ter, Matt Komma intercept-ed a Rocket pass. That set up a seven-yard touchdown run by Vaughn and Sigg

scored the two-point con-version.

Iola led 22-12 at halftime. The Ponies got another touchdown in the third quarter. Sigg found Vink for a six-year touchdown pass play. Barnhart had the two-point conversion run.

“These kids are getting better every week and more importantly they are get-ting more physical,” Taylor said. “Cale picked up some big runs. Matt Komma is turning into a pretty good linebacker. Reece Kim-ball stepped up and played well.”

Sigg had 50 yards on seven carries and was 3 of 6 passing for 27 yards. Vaughn had 23 yards on five carries and Vink had one 18-yard carry.

Ethan Holloway caught two passes for 21 yards. Vink had one catch for six.

Komma led the defense with nine tackles. Vaughn had seven tackles, followed by Barnhart with four and Kimball with two tackles. Kimball and Komma each had an interception.

Both IMS teams are 2-1. They will host Pitts-burg Community Middle School’s teams next Thurs-day.

INDEPENDENCE — In a three-set volleyball match, the first team to 15 points wins.

“Before the third set, we discussed what we need-ed to do. It is important to come out strong in the third set since it only goes to 15. There just isn’t time for early mistakes. We took control of the third set and

won,” said Terri Carlin, head coach of Iola Middle School’s eighth-grade vol-leyball team.

The IMS eighth-grade A-team worked through some mistakes to win the first set 26-24, then dropped the second set to host Indepen-dence Middle School Thurs-day. Iola beat Independence 26-24, 14-25, 15-9.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — It’s only Week 3 and des-peration time is already at hand for the Kansas City Chiefs and the New Orleans Saints.

The loser of their meet-ing this Sunday in the Su-perdome will drop to 0-3 and become a playoff long shot before NFL teams have hit the one-quarter mark on their regular-season sched-ule.

“You just don’t want to keep digging that hole be-cause in the NFL, every team is great each and ev-ery week,” Kansas City quarterback Matt Cassel said. “Is there a sense of ur-gency about it? Absolutely. We want to get a win, and everybody in this room is working extremely hard to get that done.”

The Chiefs are in famil-iar territory, having started

0-3 last season before finish-ing 7-9 and out of the play-offs.

The Saints, by contrast, only lost a total of three games during the 2011 sea-son and expected to be in contention for a fourth straight playoff berth this season, even after the NFL’s bounty investigation re-sulted in the suspension of head coach Sean Payton.

“I would have never ex-

pected to be 0-2,” Saints interim head coach Aaron Kromer said. “We are not used to being 0-and-any-thing. This is a winning organization. It has been a winning organization and we are going to take it back to that.”

When the Chiefs and Saints look at themselves, they see a mixed bag that gives them cause for hope as well as concern.

PITTSBURG — After dropping their first two matches of the day, Iola High’s doubles teams came back strong on the tennis courts at Pittsburg State University Thursday.

Abbey St. Clair and Alex-is Hobbs along with Shelby Reno and Bobbi Sinclair played stronger tennis lat-er in the meet. The Fillies’ doubles teams went 2-2 in

their respective divisions and came home with third-place medals.

“Our doubles teams start-ed out slow but stepped it up a lot to win some match-es,” said Jennifer Bycroft, Fillies’ tennis coach.

St. Clair and Hobbs played as Iola’s No. 1 dou-bles team. They dropped an 8-0 decision to Fort Scott’s Buntain and Harrison and lost to Pittsburg’s Long and Pichler 8-4.

Back on the courts, St. Clair and Hobbs bounced back with an 8-4 win over Labette County’s McCoach and Stevenson. They se-cured the third-place med-als with an 8-1 victory over Davolt and Derfelt of Co-lumbus.

In the No. 2 doubles com-petition, Reno and Sinclair lost 8-0 to Fort Scott’s Sav-age and Harrison. They lost 8-2 to Pittsburg’s Baden and Phalen.

They returned to the courts and battled to an 8-4 win over Labette County’s Carr and Page. Reno and Sinclair earned their med-als with a default win (8-0) against Columbus.

Iola’s No. 1 singles play-er for the day was Katana Smith. Megan Smith played in the No 2 singles spot for the Fillies. Both went 0-4 at the meet.

“I was a little disappoint-ed in some of the matches because I believe our sin-gles players could’ve pulled out a couple of wins,” By-croft said. “The girls just didn’t have that last bit to finish it off.”

In No. 1 singles play, Ka-tana Smith lost 8-1 to both Fort Scott’s Courtney Crain

and Pittsburg’s Katy Short. She dropped an 8-3 decision to Paige Smith of Labette County and lost 8-2 to Ash-ley Simpson of Columbus.

Megan Smith was beaten 8-2 by Kristian Hightower of Fort Scott in her open-ing No. 2 singles match. She lost 8-0 to Brittany Wilde of Pittsburg, then lost 8-1 to Labette County’s Sami Brown and 8-0 to Columbus’ Alyssa Goodwin.

Bycroft said she saw some double faults and the habit of returning the ball right back to the net player during the doubles match-es.

“Just some things to work on,” Bycroft said.

“I’d like to add that just about every time we play

somewhere there is always someone — parents, players or coaches — who comment to me and the girls how nice of a team we are.

“I’m very proud of my team’s sportsmanship and good attitudes. They rep-resent themselves and Iola well.”

Iola’s next varsity com-petition is Tuesday at Cof-feyville. The meet was moved from next Thursday to Tuesday. It will be the fi-nal regular season matches of the season.

The Kansas Class 4A re-gional tournament is Oct. 5-6.

Iola’s junior varsity ten-nis players wrap up their season at Chanute on Mon-day.

JOLIET, Ill. — Dale Earnhardt Jr. doesn’t want to get ahead of himself. After all, one race does not a Chase, or a champion, make.

It’s another take on the familiar “one race at a time” mindset.

“We’ve been running (well) all year,” Earnhardt said. “We’ve just been going week to week. You go to each race track and work on your car in practice, run the race, try to use your head, finish as best you can.

“You can’t think too far ahead of yourself. You just do what your job is that day and try to accom-plish the goals you set forth in that afternoon. That’s all you can do. If you have a bad run, you keep try-ing. You just keep plugging away. I don’t think you really alter the course, per se. You got to show up every week and run against everybody. You’ve got to try to finish and try to win the race.”

The hidden key — What with two drivers — Clint Bowyer and Martin Truex Jr. — in the Chase, and two victories with Bowyer, this is the long-awaited season of Michael Waltrip’s arrival as an owner, but that’s not entirely the story.

Waltrip has a partner, Rob Kauffman, whom he credits with a crucial role.

“I’m half the ownership,” Waltrip said. “Luckily, Rob Kauffman is here, too. … In 2007, when we started the team, I made it all the way to March till I figured out I was broke. I met Rob in April. He bought half the team in October.

“Since then we’ve been making steady progress.”Birthers — For the first time ever, on Friday, a

baby was born at New Hampshire Motor Speed-way. The family, from nearby Belmont, was en route to a Concord hospital, but not fast enough.

There’s no truth to the rumor that Texas Motor Speedway President Eddie Gossage immediately issued a release claiming that his track has been the site of more births than the entire state of New Hampshire.

Lost amid the frivolity — The Chase is on, but even though neither of the Richard Petty Motorsports driv-ers is in it, their teams are going through shake-ups. The teams of both Marcos Ambrose and Aric Almi-rola are undergoing widespread personnel shifts, the most notable being the swap of crew chiefs Mike Ford to Ambrose and Todd Parrott to Almirola.

Fun with fractions — Clint Bowyer, evaluating his past history in the Chase: “I look at it as, we’ve run third, fifth and fifth. We were 60/1,000ths of an inch from fifth last time and it still (ticks) me off thinking about it.”

Stenhouse is set — When Ricky Stenhouse Jr. takes over for Matt Kenseth next year at Roush Fen-way Racing, he will do so with sponsorship from Best Buy, Fifth Third Bank and Zest.

Concerning this zesty relationship, Jack Roush said, “Ricky (Stenhouse) is a very lucky young driver because he is able now to step in to a mature team, (and) regardless of how the personnel winds up

being distributed next year, he winds up taking one of the three seats at our table, which have been very good seats this year based on the work that Robbie Reiser has done on the manufacturing side and all the crew chiefs at the race track.”

Race hard and say all the best clichésBy Monte DuttonNASCAR This Week

BRAD KESELOWSKI SPRINT CUP SERIES No. 2 MILLER LITE DODGE

� Brad Keselowski had the incredible skill to beat Jimmie Johnson at his best … and the incredible sense not to rub it in. One race does not a Chase make, nor one victory a champion.� It’s important to remember

that, while the fi eld is grouped together to begin the Chase, it’s back to standard points racing once it starts. The entire fi eld began the Geico 400 separated by 12 points. After one race, the span is now 47, which means that Jeff Gordon, in particular, has some work to do.� It seemed as if Kasey Kahne

spent the whole race in third place.� The key to the Chase is inter-

mediate tracks like Chicagoland, but the next two are at one-milers, one fl at (New Hampshire) and the other banked (Dover).� Then comes the Great

Unknown. Yes … Talladega.� It’s still a bit too early to

dwell on, but, no, Roger Penske has never won a NASCAR Cup championship. Brad Keselowski gave him a Nationwide champion-ship two years ago.� The difference in the points

was the difference in the race. Keselowski led a lap (obviously). Johnson led the most laps. Kesel-owski got the three bonus points for winning. He leads Johnson by three. As Bill Clinton might say, it’s arithmetic.� The opener was no great

shakes for Dale Earnhardt Jr., who was mainly invisible but managed to fi nish a creditable eighth.

By Monte DuttonNASCAR This Week

JOLIET, Ill. — Brad Keselowski doesn’t miss a trick.Chicagoland Speedway is wholly nestled in the Cen-

tral time zone. For 90 percent of Sunday’s Geico 400, it only looked like Jimmie Johnson was in a different one.

Then, all of a sudden, Keselowski’s Dodge was. He didn’t just take the lead. He pulled away.

By the time the checkered flag cut the turbulent air of trackside, Keselowski’s edge was over three seconds.

To borrow from the words of the late Jim Croce, Ke-selowski pulled the mask off the old Lone Ranger, but what was most impressive was that he knew better than to tug on Superman’s cape, which would’ve been about as effective as spitting into the wind.

Johnson has won five championships. He’s the favor-ite for a sixth. He might lose to a faster driver in a faster

car, but he’s not going to succumb to gamesmanship. Keselowski knew better than to talk smack afterward.

Keselowski was appropriately respectful, which, like almost every other move he makes, was smart. It was way too early. One race does not a Chase make, nor one victory a champion.

“It’s not for me to speak about a mental edge,” he said. “That’s for you guys to speculate. If you want to ask him about that, that’s fine, but it’s not for me to speculate. When you’re winning races and running up front like we did today, it means a lot to everybody. It means a lot for your own team, and it means a lot to others some-times. I know that watching the ‘48’ (Johnson) win quite often, that does have an effect over time, a psychologi-cal advantage — but it’s not for me to speak.”

Johnson’s going to bounce back with a vengeance. He always does. Keselowski might win this championship, but it doesn’t behoove him to get the beast all riled up.

� Who’s hot: Brad Keselowski opened the Chase with an impres-sive victory, but for all that, he leads a fi ve-time champion, Jimmie Johnson, by a grand total of three points. For the moment, we’ve got likely suspects for a title to round up.

� Who’s not: The Chase takes NASCAR back to a points competition, and one race in, Jeff Gordon trails by 47 points. ... Denny Hamlin’s a a lot closer (15), but it was embarrassing to run out of gas at the end.

Buds, Beer and ResponsibilitySept. 21 is Global Be(er) Responsible Day, which prompted

Budweiser and the NASCAR driver it sponsors, Kevin Harvick, to promote Geico 400 race day as Designate a Driver Sunday at Chicagoland Speedway. If you’d like to show support by pledging to drink responsibly, go to www.nationofresponsibledrinkers.com. In the past three years, Anheuser-Busch and its wholesalers have committed $930 million in national advertising campaigns and community-based programs to promote responsible drinking and prevent underage drinking and drunk driving.

Craven Wow’d ’Em At DarlingtonFew drivers have ever been more beloved in New England

than Newburgh, Maine’s Ricky Craven, who now serves as an ESPN analyst. One of Craven’s two major NASCAR victories was a memorable triumph over Kurt Busch in the Dodge Dealers 400 at Darlington Raceway on March 16, 2003, in which the two drivers’ cars rubbed and scraped across the finish line side by side. Craven also won the Old Dominion 500 at Martinsville on Oct. 15, 2001, as well as four victories in what is now the Nationwide Series. (Source: racing-reference.info)

Oh, it’s just a mild one, but it could heat up if both drivers remain at the top of the Chase standings. Keselowski pulled up into the rac-ing groove a bit soon for Johnson’s taste after his final pit stop in the Geico 400. Johnson shrugged it off later, saying Keselowski would have won the race anyway, but his excitable crew chief, Chad Knaus, demanded that NASCAR “look at the video” during the race.

NASCAR This Week’s Monte Dutton gives his take: “Keselowski’s taming of the dominant Johnson surprised everyone. Imagine Chad Knaus, of all people, yelling ‘No fair!’ No worries for the Johnson fans. They’ll be back.”

Counterpoint Well Taken?This Week welcomes letters to the editor, but

please be aware that we have room for only a few each week. We’ll do our best to select the best, but individual replies are impossible due to the bulk of mail received. Please do not send stamped and self-addressed envelopes with your letters, which should be addressed to: NASCAR This Week, The Gaston Gazette, P.O. Box 1538, Gastonia, N.C. 28053. Send emails to [email protected], ATTN: NTW question

Dear NASCAR This Week,Lynne Bupp, from Roxbury, Kan., wrote that

she was upset about a few things. Well, I think I must look at the sport a little differently. I have been a fan since age 5, over 20 years. Maybe I look at things in a tainted way?

First, being that she only attends Nationwide Races to watch the Cup boys, and they should be allowed to race for the title. Hmm, I don’t go to one single race just to see who wins the yearly championship, nor would I like to watch a finale, where my driver runs 19th, but locks up the title. I would be happy, but it’s not the same. It doesn’t matter if, during the race you go to, Tony Stewart isn’t eligible to get points for the title. I’d just like the driver to win and don’t care where he stacks up against drivers in a lower level. Also, the competition of the young guns, and underdogs, going against these Cup-affiliated teams and stars, is pretty nice. I think they enjoy it, and it highlights the series. ... I love how Nationwide is set up and find the races very entertaining.

Next, she calls the Chase boring. Really? Wow! I’ve been watching for years, and I know, we’d never have another Atlanta 1992, or anything close, without the Chase. The first one in ’04 was amazing. Longtime fans may not like the Chase, but should agree it’s anything but boring. Matt Kenseth’s 2003 consistency run was the definition of boring. Win the title by finishing seventh every week. The Chase is great. It needs tweaks here and there but it’s still very young, and NASCAR isn’t scared to tweak it. It’s much better than anything we’ve had up until the ‘04 season.

Finally, many people say HMS and Jimmie (Johnson) cheat. I won’t go one way or the other on this, but these guys are the best of the best for a reason. Their job is to win. And yeah, the Chase caters to Jimmie. But I bet Dale (Earnhardt) Jr. would be ecstatic to make the Chase, even if it was 10 races at Watkins Glen. Point being, they all have one goal, they get there. It’s every team’s job to win and in doing so, you must beat the best, at their best. And even if Jimmie wins his sixth, and this person stops watching, 1,000 more fans will start watching. So it doesn’t really matter. I love NASCAR, always have, and probably always will. And while, from time to time, they may make a fan unhappy, they will amaze several more in the process, and keep getting better.

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.

T HE I OLA R EGISTER

Iola City Council mem-bers will be asked Monday to recognize the Local Fire-fighters Union 64 and estab-lish a collective bargaining agreement.

The union discussion will be at the request of Councilman Steve French, who brought up the collec-tive bargaining proposal at

the council’s Sept. 10 meet-ing.

Firefighters within Iola’s department have been part of a union since 2005, but former city commissioners declined to enter into collec-tive bargaining.

Under collective bargain-ing, the union serves as the exclusive employee repre-

sentative. Currently each firefighter works under his own arrangement with the city.

Also on the agenda are discussions on what to do with undeveloped prop-erty near Cedarbrook Golf Course — a private devel-oper has requested options

to buy the land through 2013 — as well as the city’s drought policy, purchasing policy revisions, and ongo-ing ambulance talks with the county.

The 6 p.m. meeting will be in the New Community Building at Riverside Park and is open to the public.
