Elijah Grover made the decision last summer to stay in Iola to com-plete his senior year at Iola High School while his parents, David and Jodi, and two younger brothers, Isa-iah and Micah, moved west to Cheney. “It would have been hard to leave all my friends here,” said Grover — one of four valedictorians in the 2013 graduating class.

Valedictorian Jason Tidd describes leaving high school in one word: “bit-tersweet.”
“While I’m ready to start a new chapter, I’m going to miss a lot of things about high school,” Tidd said, especially the personalized attention from teachers and faculty, as well as a small enough student population to get to know most of his classmates.

Iola High senior Jordan Strickler thinks highly about the small-town feel of his hometown, and he hopes to bring those values out into the world.
“Iola was the perfect place for me to grow up,” Strickler said. He has been in Iola his entire life. His moth-er, Julie, is a fifth-grade teacher at Jefferson Elementary and his father, Tom, is a banker at Community Na-tional Bank.
He said he has learned a lot by be-See STRICKLER | Page A5See TIDD | Page A3See GROVER | Page A5See HEFFERN | Page A5

Area farmers are looking at some long, hard days when-ever fields get dry enough to plant corn.
Corn planting hereabouts usually starts in late March and is completed by mid-April, but this spring’s wet, cold weather has kept farm-ers at bay. Another dose ar-rived late this week, just when some fields were about dry enough to work.
“We’re way behind,” said Doug Strickler, who intends to plant several hundred acres of corn. “I like to be done with corn by April 15, and so far I’ve been able to plant maybe 15 percent. I planted it before the hail storm (in mid-April) and about 75 percent of it is up.”
Corn has maturity rates that range from 90 to 115 days, and with later planting, particularly of longer-season varieties, tasseling (pollina-tion stage) occur toward the end of July.
“That’s the biggest prob-lem” of late planting, Strick-
ler said. “By then it’s likely to be hot and dry and tasseling will be hurt.”
That will lead to ears try-ing to fill in mid-August, also a time when hot and dry weather can be expected to dominate.
“Anytime the temperature is over 86 degrees, it’s stress-ful for corn,” Strickler ob-served. Key times in a plant’s life is tasseling and then when ears and their kernels are filling out.
Insurance companies rec-ognize the problem of put-ting corn seed in the ground this late in the season.
“May 15 is the last day that
insurance will pay 100 per-cent,” Strickler noted. “Any planted from there on, the percentage of insurance cov-erage drops” for corn dam-aged by weather.
While insurance compa-nies use actuarial studies to determine coverage, late-planted corn occasionally does well. Dick Works, who grows corn and soybeans west of Humboldt, comment-ed this week that some of his best-producing corn last year came from a stand replanted in late May.
But, on the average, corn planted that late has a tough go with what’s normally ex-pected of Kansas summers.
Strickler said fertilizer has been applied to his fields and equipment is ready to roll, just as soon as “the mud holes dry up. I don’t want to plant part of a field and then have to go back when the rest of it dries up,” he said.
There is a possibility of rain today, but the long-range forecast is for mostly dry and

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon on Thursday hailed the an-nouncement of 2,000 new jobs at Ford Motor Co.’s Kansas City assem-bly plant as further evidence of his state’s role in the rebirth of the U.S. automobile manu-facturing industry.
With new F-150 trucks roll-ing by on an assembly line conveyer belt behind him at the plant in Claycomo, just outside of Kansas City, the governor thanked Ford ex-ecutives for their investment in the Kansas City area and
praised the company’s work-ers for helping Ford make that decision.
“That’s more good news for workers, for this region and our state, and quite frankly,
for America,” Nixon said.
Nixon also gave credit to the Missouri Manu-facturing Jobs Act, which he signed into law in
2010 to provide incentives to manufacturers and industrial suppliers to create jobs and in-vest in the economy.
“This act made a strategic, fiscally responsible invest-

Fifth-grader Christopher Kogan hopped along in a sack race and Jocelyn Erbert, fourth grade, went through a course on a scooter board during Jefferson Elementary School’s field day Friday, with all events except the tug-of-war moved to warm and friendly confines of the Recreation Community Building in Riverside Park. The annual tug

Doug Strickler’s planter is folded up and clean as a whistle, waiting for fields to dry so he and other area farmers can plant corn, albeit a month later than usual.

SEATTLE (AP) — In sun-deprived Washing-ton state, the promise of nice spring weather has prompted a small private school to give students a day off to enjoy the sun-shine.
Friday was a “sun day” of sorts for 205 students at Bellingham Christian School in Bell-ingham, Wash.
Principal Bob Samp-son announced the day off on the school’s site.
Sampson said he wanted to give students a chance to enjoy the weather and re-energize. He surveyed parents and floated the idea with the school board before can-celing school.
The sun day also was made possible because there weren’t any days off because of snow this school year.
The last time the school closed for nice weather was two years ago.

warmer weather the next two weeks.
When fields dry, a plant-ing frenzy will ensue, of corn and then soybeans.
“Once we get in the fields, we’ll be work-ing well into the night,” Strickler said, noting that technology today takes the guess work out of tracking equipment to the point that darkness isn’t a problem.
On a large field close to home, Strickler figures he can plant 250 acres a day, and 180 acres or more “if we have to move equip-ment a time or two.”
Even though wet weather has delayed planting, there is an up-side.
“We have plenty of sub-soil moisture,” Strickler
said, which will have new-ly planted corn sprouting quickly and provide re-ceptive seedbeds for soy-beans, next on the plant-ing agenda.
Moisture always is the key to farming.
It’s slowing farmers right now, but once corn and beans are up and growing, farmers’ con-cern will be moisture to nurture and complete growth of the two cash crops in July and August.
Wheat, including his, looks good, Strickler said.
Area farmers appar-ently dodged a cold bul-let Thursday night. The temperature dropped to 34 and shouldn’t have had an impact on wheat.
The critical point for wheat is 28 degrees, Strickler said.

ment in our workforce and our facilities and the future of our economy,” he told a large gather-ing of company officials, workers and media deep inside the Claycomo plant. “The result of all that ... listen to it. Work!”
The plant already has 2,450 workers on two shifts and will add a third shift and 900 more workers to produce the popular F-150 trucks.
Joe Hinrichs, Ford’s president of the Ameri-cas, said the third shift is needed at Claycomo because full-size pickup sales are growing three times faster than the to-tal U.S. auto market.
Ford will fill about 1,000 of the Claycomo jobs with workers laid off when the plant stopped producing Es-cape SUVs last year, and there will be around 1,000 new hires, Hin-richs said.
He said companies that make parts for the F-150 are being asked to increase production, so they could need more workers as well.
Several years ago, Missouri lawmakers ap-proved legislation offer-
ing a tax break to auto-motive manufacturers that was aimed largely at enticing the Dearborn, Mich.-based Ford Motor Co. to continue making vehicles at the Claycomo plant. State lawmakers approved the incentives during a special legisla-tive session in summer 2010 after an exasperat-ed senator ended a more than 20-hour filibuster.
Nixon, who called the special session, received a standing ovation from auto workers when he held a bill signing cer-emony the following day at a union hall near the Claycomo plant.
The automotive incen-tives have been used to persuade both Ford and General Motors Co. to expand vehicle assembly plants in Missouri.
Last year construc-tion began on a $380 mil-lion expansion of the General Motors plant near St. Louis. GM offi-cials said the expanded Wentzville assembly plant would make Chev-rolet Colorado midsize pickup trucks, creating 1,260 new jobs. The plant already had 1,400 em-ployees making an aver-age of $28 per hour.

the high school paper and playing in the band, Tidd has been able to
excel even through hard times.
Tidd has been most proud of his involve-
ment in reviving the student newspaper, the Messenger, which had not printed since about 2009. “I remember being in 8th grade and reading the paper,” he said. “I al-ways thought it may be something I would work on in high school.” The paper “gives us a chance to showcase all the tal-ent that we have in the school,” he said.
As a tenor and alto saxophone player, Tidd’s experience in the school band has been a forma-tive part of his high school years. Tidd hopes to continue playing the saxophone in the march-ing band at Kansas State
University, where he will be attending in the fall.
Tidd grew up in Iola as one of six children. Their mother, Julie Tidd, died last year on Mother’s Day, after a long battle with cancer. While her death was a clear challenge for Jason as well as the rest of his siblings and their father, David Tidd, “I now have even stronger relation-ships with everybody else,” Jason said, cel-ebrating the family’s close bonds.
Julie Tidd was a band director and clearly passed her love for music along to Jason and his siblings. She
also had an interest in journalism which may have rubbed off on her middle son as well. “I remember her correct-ing my papers in middle school,” Jason said. “She used to have tons of cor-rections and then after a while she would tell me my writing was getting better and better.” Jason will start as a commu-nications major at KSU, following this passion for journalism.
David Tidd works as a mailman as well as a part-time farmer and a leader of a home Bible study group. A strong faith in God has been a life-long support for Jason and one that he believes will help him as he leaves high school and moves on to a new chapter in his life.
Tidd said he consid-ered both K-State and the University of Kansas for college. “I’d say I’m a convert from KU,” he said, recalling his pre-vious attraction to the Lawrence-based campus for its sports teams and academics. But during his visits to both cam-puses, “K-State just felt more like home.” Paired with the fact that K-State was going to be less ex-pensive and qualified him for more scholar-ships, the decision be-came clear.
According to Tidd, about a dozen of his classmates have made the same decision, which will make leaving their home in Iola a little less difficult.
“We’ll probably stick together, especially for the first year,” Tidd said.
Tidd’s biggest con-cerns are more about finances than academ-ics. Even with several scholarships in hand, Tidd knows he’s going to have to work hard to put himself through college. He has been working about 30 hours a week at Walmart. He plans to apply for more scholar-ships as he continues throughout college, hop-ing to avoid taking out student loans.
Otherwise, Tidd is feeling pretty calm and confident about the move. “There have been many others who have successfully done it be-fore,” he said, “I think I can, too.”

~ Journalism that makes a difference
Though it seems at odds, a funeral is an affirmation of life.
Three generations have gathered for my dad’s funer-al today. Proof that he lives on.
The last big draw was brother Angelo’s wedding in September. The one good thing about our family’s em-barrassingly high divorce rate is more weddings.
I don’t know what it says that a happily married couple of 59 years should produce four children who have been married a total of eight times. Perhaps they set too high a standard. To their credit, mother and dad never held it over our heads we had failed as spouses. I think they were happy we kept trying to get it right, and not give up on love.
WEDDINGS and funer-als are pretty much the only way we gather en masse. We’re all in a line of work when holidays are our busi-est.
My cousin Christina and her siblings have set up a routine where they visit
over the Internet at 5 p.m. every Sunday. She, her sister and their dad live in Califor-
nia, while one brother is up in Alaska with the National Park Service and the other over in Bangladesh working for Chevron.
At the appointed hour, they pour a cocktail and dial in, so to speak. They catch up on each family’s activi-ties, health concerns, etc., while their children and spouses pop in and out of camera’s view.
My side of the family isn’t as disciplined, but it sounds like a good idea.
I’m sure mother and dad would be fearful of us sib-lings drifting apart. She was the master organizer and worked hard to have our va-cations overlap by at least a
few days so we could gather at the family cabin.
We have a couple of things on our side to keep us in the loop, including nine chil-dren of whom all but two are of marriageable age.
The other is realizing how precious a family is. My brothers and I share a lifelong history unique only to us. We are kith and kin —friends and family.
Mother taught us that to keep that feeling alive, you have to be intentional. Kind of like the Marriage En-counter adage, love is a de-cision. Attend the funeral, the wedding, and the family reunion. Good intentions are no substitute for being there. Decide to be a family.
When we celebrate dad’s life today the words we’ll say are for the benefit of others, because for the most part what we have between us need not be spoken. A look, a hug, a squeeze of the hand will convey the myri-ad feelings we are experi-encing at this time of loss. We are family. And we will be there for each other, no matter what.

Year after year Iola High is awash with dramatic talent. This year is no exception.
The Bowlus Fine Arts Center gives the kids a leg up. Environment has a very definite role in molding the young, and none is finer in southeast Kansas than the Bowlus when it comes to pre-sentation of the performing arts.
Put the same kids at the end of a gymnasium, on a stage without proper light-ing, few props and acoustics that make what’s said or sung difficult to hear, and they might give a good account of themselves.
Put them on a profession-al stage with state-of-the- art amenities, and it makes a world of difference, it prompts the kids to want to do their very best and often brings out talents that other-wise would lie dormant and go untapped.
We’ve had so many young performers over the years who have given audiences cause to laugh, to cry, to ap-plaud, and that was brought home again Thursday when four members of the IHS fo-rensics team performed for the Rotary Club.
All were excellent, from an informative speech by
Abbey St. Clair, to a hilari-ous one-act play by Jordan Garcia and Danielle Venter, to a poignant dramatic read-ing by Colton Schubert.
A full array of talent was on display a couple of weeks earlier when IHS students staged their rendition of “Grease,” playing to appre-ciative audiences each night.
I’ve watched Iola High kids for years, relishing the opportunity to review their productions, and each year I wonder how much longer the well can produce. Can it never run dry of the talent that puts our kids several cuts above what you would reasonably expect from high school performers?
Don’t expect that to hap-pen. Each year underclass-men are nurtured by the en-thusiasm of those ahead of them and can hardly wait for their turn in the spotlight to carry on the rich tradition.

Republican radicalism thrives here in Kansas, the reddest of red states, and within our state, in the red-dest counties, and our brand of red-state radicalism does not bode especially well for the future of rural Kansas.
The antics of Kansas Con-gressman Tim Huelskamp, who represents many of the state’s rural residents, threat-en the federal spending on which these Kansans heav-ily rely. And Governor Sam Brownback’s perilous experi-ment in eliminating the state income tax has placed state services in jeopardy and will eventually push more school funding onto property taxes, driving the high property tax burdens of rural residents even higher. Curiously, vot-ers in the reddest counties of Kansas cheer the loudest for both Huelskamp and Brown-back.
Recent news stories in the Kansas City Star and the Bos-
ton Globe highlight the hypoc-risy of red-state radicalism. The Star found that the fierc-est critics of federal spending were also big-time “takers” of federal spending. The Star fo-cused on Sumner County, part of the Wichita metropolitan area, and reported that in 2010 “the U.S. government spent roughly $189 million in Sum-ner County, almost $7,900 for every man, woman, and child who lives here. That’s an esti-mated 40 to 50 percent more, on average, than each county resident paid in federal taxes.”
The Globe reporter traveled to Hodgeman County in rural southwest Kansas and inter-viewed residents attending a public forum for Huelskamp
and later at a downtown coffee klatch in the county seat of Jetmore. Those interviewed applauded their congress-man for saying “no” to fed-eral spending and refusing to compromise on spending even with leaders of his own party. His obstinacy got him booted from the House Agriculture Committee last year, leaving Kansas without a representa-tive on the committee for the first time in memory.
Hodgeman County may pro-vide a useful prism for view-ing federal spending in rural Kansas, as over half of the state’s 105 counties have fewer than 7,000 residents.
In 2010, for example, more than $21 million flowed from the U.S. treasury into Hodge-man County, providing on av-erage $11,000 for each of the 1,916 county residents. Social Security and Medicare ben-efits represented over half of the total; Medicaid alone another million. Direct pay-ments for various agricultur-al subsidies totaled $2.5 mil-lion, not counting $3.1 million in payments through federally subsidized crop insurance and $765,000 in federal farm loans.
What exactly these resi-dents paid in federal taxes is not readily available, but based on the findings of Sum-ner County, they likely paid
roughly $2 in taxes for every $3 in benefits.
Hodgeman County resi-dents pay an even smaller share of the sales and income taxes that provide for school funding, health care, and transportation, among other state services. For example, Kansas taxpayers underwrote 80 percent of the $2.8 million general fund budget of the county school district in 2011-12, matched federal Medicaid funding in the county to the tune of over $800,000 in 2010, and funded road projects in the county averaging $1.5 million annually over recent years. Most rural Kansans have also benefited from the long-term shift of state fi-
nance away from reliance on property taxes, but Hodgeman County residents still pay property taxes that average two and one-half times that of all Kansans, compared to 16 percent less in income taxes.
Brownback’s radical plan to eliminate state income taxes is undoing state finance and its impact will eventually reach the doorsteps of rural Kansans. Last January, for example, when a state court ordered lawmakers to meet their constitutional obliga-tion in funding education, Brownback responded that in-creased school funding would necessarily fall back on prop-erty taxpayers. That action would force the high property tax burden of most rural resi-dents, like those in Hodgeman County, ever higher.
In sum, the monies flowing through state and national treasuries into rural Kansas counties comprise rough-ly one-third of their local economies and sustain their communities. The “small government” radicalism of Huelskamp and Brownback and their allies will diminish the economic fortunes and quality of life of all Kansans but its impact on rural Kan-sans will be the most severe.

well, many years ago. “There was definitely pressure for me. I didn’t want to be the only one in the family not to make valedictorian,” Eric said. “A couple weeks ago I knew I was going to make it and that felt good.”
THE YOUNGEST in his family, Eric received some good advice about how to approach high school. “My brothers told me to relax,” he said. “I tried. It was comforting to hear it from them and to know that if they did it, then I could, too.”
Eric always did well in school and was part of the National Honor Society. In addition to academics, Eric was an accomplished athlete. He was a linebacker and wide receiver on the foot-ball team, played base-ball, and basketball when he was a freshman. “It’s pretty much school and sports all the time for
me,” he said, adding he plays American Legion baseball in the summer.
When asked what he enjoyed most during the past four years of high school, Eric quickly re-sponded, “Friday night
football games.”Eric will attend Kansas
State University in the fall, following his broth-ers (Jacob and Kyle), his dad and mom (who met at K-State) and grandfa-ther. It wasn’t a difficult choice, he said, “I only ap-plied to K-State.”
Eric plans to study construction science in the engineering depart-ment but is a bit anxious because he’s heard that department is particular-ly tough. His dad, Larry,
works as an engineer at Monarch Cement Com-pany in Humboldt.
“I have always been in-terested in building and architecture,” he said. His brother Jacob will graduate with a degree in mass communica-tions, and Kyle is study-ing hotel and restaurant management. His mom is a substitute teacher at IHS. “She’s kept track of me pretty well,” he said of seeing his mother in school most days.
He has also visited his brothers many times at K-State and feels prepared for the next four years.
“My brothers say it’s the friendliest university they have visited ... but they also tell me to stay focused and to keep up on the work,” he said. “In college, it’s easy to get into lazy habits, they say.”
Eric is looking forward to being independent and living on his own next year at K-State, saying “I am anxious and a bit sad to leave (high school), but
I’m excited and ready for the change.”
Eric was awarded the Hal Wray Scholarship of $250 to honor his achieve-ments. He also received the First in Class Guar-antee at K-State, which is a scholarship assistance of $2,000 to $4,000 given to all students ranked No. 1 in their high school class with a high enough SAT/ACT score. In years past, Eric was also recognized at this awards ceremony as an outstanding under-graduate achiever.
His advice to younger students approaching high school would be the same as his brothers gave to him: “Relax, it’s not that bad.”
Wednesday is his last day of high school, with graduation May 12. Al-though it will be “good-bye” to Iola for the time being, Eric, like his fam-ily, is glad to be staying in Kansas for college and hopes to come back to the area for work upon grad-uation.
H GroverContinued from A1
fect 4.0 grade point aver-age. It’s not just about the grades for Grover, however; there’s much more to his high school success.
For four years Gro-ver has represented his class as vice president on student council. “We’ve worked very well togeth-er” he said of the student organization.
“Things have changed for the better,” Grover add-ed, noting the older stu-dents used to pick on the younger students, but that the student council has been working to improve class relations. “We’ve changed the dynamic here to make a more friendly environment at IHS. Stu-dents are more involved now, and that definitely
improves the perfor-mance of the students in the classrooms.”
During his sophomore year, Grover was inducted into the National Honor Society and discovered his interest in acting. After a lead role in the fall play “Greek Mythology Olym-piaganza,” Grover contin-ued his passion and joined the forensics team — a club activity that takes a creative twist on debate.
“I like forensics,” he explained. “It’s a lot of quick thinking and mov-ing around in improvised situations.”
He and his acting part-ner, Chanel Coyne, quali-fied for the state competi-tion and are headed are in Topeka today to compete.
Outside the school building, Grover is a three-season athlete.
He made varsity foot-ball, basketball, and track and field teams his sopho-more year, and was one of four captains on the varsi-ty football team, as well as one of two captains on the varsity basketball team.
After graduation, Gro-ver plans to attend Kansas State University where he will pursue a degree in computer engineering.
The senior received an Academic Achievement Scholarship at the awards banquet on Wednesday that covers tuition at KSU for the first three semes-ters.
“I like computers be-cause they never stop up-grading and changing,” he said. “I’m looking for-ward to seeing what type of technology we can cre-ate and work with. It’s very exciting.”
Grover will be the sec-ond in his family to attend K-State.
His father, David, 49, earned his degree in edu-cation at K-State and after teaching high school his-tory for many years he recently accepted a job as the superintendent of the Cheney School District, which initiated the fam-ily’s move from Iola last summer.
“If it weren’t for my family’s love and support, this year would have been very different,” said Gro-ver, admitting it was dif-ficult to have his parents and brothers move nearly two hours away. “I want to thank my family for mak-ing my senior year much better than I could have ever imagined. I think my decision to stay was a good choice.”
H StricklerContinued from A1
ing in a small town, especially because it gives him the chance to do things he wouldn’t have the chance to do in a larger high school.
“It’s a good way to meet people,” Strick-ler said. “It gives me the opportunity to be involved in a lot of things.”
He is no stranger to involvement.
Strickler has a laun-dry-list of experiences from his time at IHS,
including cross coun-try, tennis, swim team, forensics, theater, stu-dent government, Stu-dents Against Destruc-tive Decisions Club, National Honor Soci-ety and Fellowship of Christian Athletes — to name a few.
He said all of these experiences will give him the opportunity to branch out when he heads to Kansas State University in the fall.
“I’ll do my best to be a good representative of the community,” he said.
Strickler was named a valedictorian of his high school class.
Like his valedic-torian counterparts, Strickler has a deep Wildcat background in his family. His father, two uncles, grandfa-ther, brother, sister and two of his cousins all have attended K-State. He plans to get his degree in chemical engineering. He also
plans to join the Acacia Greek fraternity.
“No one in the com-munity was surprised that I was going to K-State,” Strickler said with a laugh. “It all kind of fell together.”
He received the Hen-ry J. Putnam Scholar-ship, which covers all tuition costs, and the McFadden Scholarship from First Option Bank — it is valued at $10,000.
But, the senior said while he is excited about moving off to Manhattan, he will miss the small-town feel of Iola.
“It’ll be a little bit more hectic,” he said.
Some of his fondest memories are acting in plays at the Bowlus Fine Arts Center, par-ticularly as the lead in the year’s production of “Grease.”
“It is a blessing to have that (Bowlus) there,” he said. “It has felt like a second home over the past couple of years.”
He also recalled one of his earliest perfor-mances, a production of “Aladdin Jr.” in sixth grade with the Iola Community The-atre. He said it gave him the chance to meet some of the upperclass-men, whom he looked up to from a young age — he believes it helped shaped him to be the upperclassman he is today.
But, now is Strick-ler’s chance to get out and “see the world” — starting with Manhat-tan, Kan.
“I’m just taking things one day at a time,” he said.
“I know God has a plan for me.”
When asked what his goals were for the future, the senior gave a very simple response.
“As cheesy as it sounds, I want to make the world a better place.”
No one in the community was surprised that I was go-ing to K-State. It all kind of fell together.

Female jockey eyes historic Derby run—B3
Kansas City Royals’ Mike Moustakas, above, slides across the snow-covered infield tarp after Thursday’s baseball game against the Tampa Bay Rays was can-celed at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. At left, The Royals’ Alcides Es-cobar tosses a snowball. The game was called in the middle of the fourth inning with the Royals on top, 1-0. Those statistics will not count. Rather, the game will be replayed in its entirety. The bad weather continued Friday, as the Royals’ home game against the Chicago White Sox also was post-poned. That game will be made up Monday afternoon.

By GARY GRAVESAP Sports Writer
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Rosie Napravnik isn’t worried about history. She knows that will take care of itself.
Just to hedge her chances, though, the 25-year-old jockey is working on her chem-istry with a longshot named Mylute in today’s Kentucky Derby.
Two years after achiev-ing the best finish by a fe-male jockey in the Derby, she will try to become the first woman to win it. Napravnik’s pursuit of the milestone comes a year after she became the first female rider to win the Kentucky Oaks, the second-biggest race on Churchill Downs’ mar-quee weekend.
Mylute is a 15-1 shot to win the Derby, but his last win came in December with Napravnik aboard. That performance offered a glimpse into her ability to get the most out of a horse, something she has shown in being the lead-ing rider at four tracks.
Doing it again today could make Derby his-tory.
Napravnik is confident that Mylute could make it happen.
“Mylute will definitely come from off the pace because that’s his style,” said Napravnik, who will start from the No. 6 post position. “That’s not a bad style to have when the race is a mile and a quar-ter. It’s very long, so if you can have a horse that can stay relaxed in the first part, that’s definitely to your advantage.”
For her part Napravnik has been more relaxed preparing for her second
Derby appearance. That hasn’t been easy con-sidering the barrage of media requests asking about her attempt to do what six women, includ-ing herself, have failed to do in 138 previous Derbys against male jockeys.
Napravnik is well aware of that history and tectonic impact her vic-tory could have. But that quest is two days away, and the New Jersey native is simply embracing the attention her presence has brought to the sport.
Having gone through the Derby experience in 2011 while guiding Pants On Fire to a ninth-place finish, Napravnik feels more like a veteran the second time around.
“It’s nice to have the experience of when I
was here two years ago,” she said. “It’s a little less overwhelming and I know what to expect. I’ve been able to handle it better.
“A lot has happened in my career since I was here two years ago. I think I’ve been more rec-ognized, it’s very flatter-ing and everybody has been very positive. Win-ning the Kentucky Oaks last year was probably the greatest moment of my career.”
As it turned out, Napravnik’s break-through victory aboard Believe You Can in the Oaks was just the first of several big moments. She rode Shanghai Bobby to five wins including the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile at Santa Anita, helping the colt claim the 2-year-
old championship.A couple of months
later she climbed aboard Mylute at Fair Grounds Race Course near New Orleans and immediately forged a bond that led to a second mount in the Derby. The horse earned his sec-ond career win by nearly 11 lengths on Dec. 26, his best effort in nine starts.
Napravnik went on to be Fair Grounds’ top rid-er for the third straight year, adding similar hon-ors at Laurel, Pimlico and Delaware Park.
“We’re lucky to have her,” Amoss said of Napravnik. “It may be a bit surprising that she was available for the Ken-tucky Derby with what I thought about her being very much in demand. But their loss is our gain.”
Amoss struggles for an exact description of Napravnik’s success but notes that her ability to connect quickly with her mounts. The only other jockey he has seen with that talent is Hall of Fam-er Pat Day, which is say-ing something.
At the same time, Amoss notes Napravnik’s businesslike demeanor that has helped her deal with being in a male-dominated sport. Not to mention, all the attention she has gotten this week.
Napravnik is all smiles when it comes to the horse and specifically Mylute. She has been pleased with his breezes this week and looks for-ward to today and a pos-sible brush with history.
“He feels great, he’s acting great and I’m very confident heading into the Derby,” she said. “Hopefully, we can make history.”

Saturday’s Su-doku and Hagar The Horrible can be found in Monday’s issue.
Danica Patrick was busy last week. Not only was her divorce fi nalized, but she made an appearance on Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report” before arriving at Richmond International Raceway to compete in Saturday night’s Sprint Cup race, where she fi nished 29th. Her No. 10 Chevy had a sticker of Colbert’s face on the side of the car. The media cornered Patrick the day before the race.
Your divorce was fi nal last week, any comments on that?
“No. It is just the end.” After the race last week, were you
really mad at David Gilliland, or was that just venting on the radio?
“Yes, I was mad. I’ve felt like he drives very aggressively against me (since) Darlington last year. There was just a lot more of it last weekend, and I was frustrated. But, I think in general, it was a frustrating race, and that was just one of the elements.”
How much of a chance do you think you have of winning at Talladega, considering how well you ran at Daytona?
“I feel like I’ve learned some lessons from Daytona about the draft, and what
unfolds at the end, if you are in the right place at the right time. I think that when we talk speedway racing, there’s a lot of luck involved. Like I said — right place at the right time. There are a lot of people that have a good chance of winning
Talladega, I think. Hopefully, we are one of them. But, we won’t know that until the end of the race.”
How was “The Colbert Report” experience?
“I love Stephen Colbert’s sense of humor. That was the fi rst time I have been on his show. I was excited. He’s a cool guy. Obviously, he plays a character. He said before I went out there: ‘My character is incredibly ignorant and stupid. Just bear with me; have fun with it.’ It was cool.”
Did Gilliland’s “shutup and drive” comment bother you, or did you sort of feel like he is treating you like everyone else?
“No, I don’t think he races me like everyone else. I watched him move over and let someone by, so no, I don’t think he does. And, that is what makes me mad. He is just getting more attention for this than he deserves. I think he was just driving in a way that I didn’t think was appropriate, and I haven’t thought was appropriate for a long time, but it was just too much that time.”

HOT TOPICS: 3 ISSUES GENERATING A BUZZ
SPRINT CUP POINTS STANDINGS
Why aren’t you impressed with Kevin Harvick’s Richmond win?
First, we have to defi ne “impressed.” Sure, the Answer Man is impressed, as always, by Harvick’s ability to handle the closing laps when he’s in contention. He smells the lead the way Paul Hornung sniffed the end zone (ask your daddy). But we like to look long-term at consequences here, and long-term, we’re not sure it’s gonna help Kevin’s efforts to keep Budweiser’s frothy checkbook with him as he
leaves for Stewart-Haas next season.
What are you hearing?Nothing, and that’s always scary. Here’s the deal: Under normal circumstances, Anheuser-Busch would naturally want to hitch its marketing wagon to a consistent producer like Harvick and follow him wherever he goes. But the trump card, this time, is a 3. If Richard Childress tells Budweiser he’s putting Austin
Dillon in the No. 3 next year, what corporation could resist that?
Is Kurt Busch steadily alienating every potential ride in the garage?
You know Kurt desperately wants another chance in a top-tier ride, but, yes, he has seemingly burned every bridge – at Richmond, he further torched them by irritating Tony Stewart and Matt Kenseth. But believe this: Sometimes a big sponsor attaches itself to a driver, not an owner. If Kurt somehow attracts the right meal ticket (WWE?) and brings along enough budget, there’s not an owner out there who wouldn’t “give the guy another chance.”
AP/Clem BrittHarvick learned long ago, Bud is for drinking, champagne for spraying.
Kurt Busch vs. Tony Stewart: Busch gave Stewart the chrome horn on a last-lap pass at Richmond. Stewart then sideswiped Busch on the cool-down lap.
Godwin Kelly gives his take: “Busch better have a fast car at Talladega, because he doesn’t want to see Stewart in his rearview mirror.”
With the current emotional climate, is this any time for
Talladega?GODSPEAK: We all know that every crash at Talladega is purely “accidental” or caused by “unavoidable contact” or “just one of them racing deals.”KEN’S CALL: As unpredictable as things have been lately, Talladega will probably run caution-free. Stop laughing.
Will Nelson Piquet Jr.’s image survive his
Richmond actions?GODSPEAK: This was much more than a simple knee-jerk reaction by young Piquet. In this case, there’s more to heal than just Piquet’s image.KEN’S CALL: Well, I’m sure his closest friends will still be there for him. Wearing a cup, of course … you know … just in case. But they’ll be there.

Jeff Burton hasn’t won a Cup race since 2008, so his heart was pounding when he had the lead with two laps to go at Richmond. But he had one major disadvantage — worn tires. He gambled on track position and lost, fi nishing fi fth in the 1.5-mile scramble to the checkered fl ag.
But this had to make it hurt just a bit worse: He lost to teammate Kevin Harvick, who restarted seventh on fresh tires and had a comfortable lead by the time the fi eld got to the white fl ag. To Burton’s credit, he shrugged it off.
“Obviously, new tires are a lot better,” he said. “But, it was worth a shot.”
Harvick beating Burton at Richmond was not lost on car owner Richard Childress, who gave Burton a verbal pat on the back during the winner’s interview. “I think everyone, even (Harvick’s) team, was probably pulling for Burton.”
Juan for the ages After sputtering along for almost two years, Earnhardt
Ganassi Racing appears to be getting back up to speed.The two-car organization put together a pair of solid runs
Saturday at Richmond and posted its fi rst top-fi ve fi nish since Aug. 27, 2011 (Jamie McMurray – fi fth, Bristol).
McMurray and teammate Juan Pablo Montoya were lined up in the top fi ve on a green-white-checkered restart.
McMurray, who elected to hold track position on old tires, went from second to 26th in two laps but showed moxie with the gamble.
Montoya, who had a 0.613-second lead over race winner Kevin Harvick before the fi nal caution on Lap 396 of 400, pulled down pit road for fresh tires. He snagged a fourth-place fi nish – his fi rst top-5 since April 3, 2011 (4th, Martinsville).
The late caution wiped away a sure victory, but Montoya – who led 67 laps – was giddy on pit road
because his team was competitive from start to fi nish.“Yeah, we made the right calls when we pitted and when
we stayed out and everything, but we got that caution at the end, and it was a no-brainer to take tires,” said Montoya, who hasn’t won in 95 Cup races. “I thought everybody on the team did a really good job, and I’m just really proud of the guys.”
Best in classWhen Roger Penske decided
to leave Dodge, join Ford and lease engines from Roush Yates Racing, most everyone thought Penske Racing would take a hit on the competition index.
Just the opposite has happened. Through nine Cup races, Penske’s top-fi nishing driver — either Brad Keselowski or Joey Logano — has crossed the stripe ahead of the top fi nisher at Roush Fenway Racing — Carl Edwards, Greg Biffl e and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. — seven times.
Keselowski has four top-5s, and Logano has three top-5s — and two post-race fl are-ups.
