Katelyn Hicks has three pas-sions: riding horses, going fast and winning.

Her hobby, not so coincidental-ly, combines all three.

Hicks, 5, has already amassed a number of victories on horse-back.

The most significant was when Hicks brought home the Kansas State Pee Wee 2D Barrell Racing Championship in Topeka in May.

The first-place prize, a breast collar outfitted for the two horses she rides, paled in comparison to the cash.

“I won $45!” Hicks exclaimed excitedly.

She’s also taken in a number of top finishes in area rodeo cir-cuits, usually enough to pay her entry fees.

Hicks, daughter of Jamie and Bekki Hicks of Iola, competes in barrell and pole racing, flag con-tests and goat tail tying.

She’s been riding since she was 2½, and riding solo for about a year now.

It’s hardly a solo effort. Several family members help with Kait-lyn’s training, while even more

Local dirt track legend hits 100 with styleBy BOB JOHNSON

bob@iolaregister.comAl Weiland, area dirt-track rac-

ing icon, is celebrating his 100th birthday today. He will be hon-ored at a public reception from 1 to 4 p.m. at the American Legion, 712 W. Patterson Ave.

Weiland wondered this week if anyone would come to “the shin-dig,” allowing that “I’m just an old shade-tree mechanic.”

He tends to self-deprecation, but anyone who knows Weiland knows there was a span of about 45 years when he was one of the best mechanics around, and had a knack of building race cars that consistently crossed the finish line first.

A CONVERSATION in the modest home he occupies alone in south Iola started with typical

Weiland humor.“You can ask me what you want

to,” Al said with a grin, “but I didn’t do it.”

“I got a Model T when I was 16 years old,” which started his love affair with automobiles. He dropped out of high school after his soph-omore year — a deci-sion he regrets even today — and moved to Iola, taking the first of several jobs at filling stations. Then, they w e r e f u l l -s e r -vice

stops with attendants who not only filled fuel tanks, but also

washed windshields, checked air pres-

sure and oil and did repairs.

The shop fore-man at Bud White Motors, the local Chev-rolet dealer, no-ticed Weiland

and a year or two before World War II broke out asked

if he’d come to work

as a me-

chanic.“I didn’t think I was good

enough, but I tried it,” Al said.He stayed until the Army called

and returned after the war, work-ing there until 1950 when he switched to the Ford agency on South Jefferson.

When he returned from va-cation in 1960, changes had oc-curred that prompted Weiland to pick up his tools and open a shop of his own at 519 E. Lincoln, where he worked until computers became an integral part of auto-mobile engines in the mid-1980s.

“I guess I was just too old to learn when computers came out,” Al said, but he was a whiz with carburetors and continued to re-pair them until his eyesight start-ed to wane.

“I could rebuild one today if I could see well enough,” he said.

BY 1950, dirt-track racing was emerging as popular entertain-ment for folks who enjoyed watch-ing friends and neighbors tear around a quarter-mile oval, with their jalopies unrecognizable by night’s end.

At 55, Kevin Lind has a second chance at life.

Lind, Olathe, recently cele-brated his one-year anniversary of having a heart transplant.

Before that, he remembers several close calls – “feeling the sheet come over my head.”

Lind is the son of Iolans Bob and Lenora Lind. He was gradu-ated from Iola High School in 1975 and attended Allen Com-munity College before advancing to Pittsburg State University to pursue a degree in psychology. He then took business courses at the University of Kansas before settling in sales in Kansas City.

“I’ve always been in sales of some sort,” he said, recalling the days when he worked for Max Lewis at Dryer’s Shoe Store while a student at IHS.

It wasn’t until he was in his early 40s that he first realized his health wasn’t picture perfect. In 2003, he had a stroke from what doctors determined was high blood pressure.

Lind didn’t look sick. In fact, his biceps were so muscular that a blood pressure cuff couldn’t fit around his upper arm.

“I knew from my training as a firefighter I was experiencing a stroke, but I thought I could shake it off,” he said.

He slung back a handful of baby aspirin and headed to his

daughter’s school where he was due to pick her up.

It wasn’t until the school nurse told him his left eyelid was droopy that his fears were real-ized. He had had a stroke of the left cranial nerve.

OVER THE course of the next

five years Lind’s health slowly deteriorated.

“I was still working. Your body adapts. It wasn’t until I realized I had to sit more to catch my breath that I thought something might be wrong.”

In 2008, Lind saw a cardiolo-gist who determined Lind’s heart

was working below capacity, al-though he couldn’t pinpoint the exact cause.

Lind was outfitted with a pace-maker that kept his racing heart in check.

“I felt great. Not short-winded-

BURLINGTON – A Coffey County woman will spend more than 13 years in prison after be-ing sentenced Thursday in the death of her newborn son.

Karen Marie Bailey, 23, Le Roy, was sentenced to 161 months in the Kansas Depart-ment of Corrections. She previ-ously pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and aggravated endangerment of a child on June 1. Judge Phillip M. Fromme hand-ed down the sentence in Coffey County District Court.

Bailey gave birth to her son on April 2, 2011, in her car between Iola and Le Roy. She then left the infant unattended in the car for several hours, resulting in his death.

Assistant Attorney General Lee Davidson and Coffey County Attorney Doug Witteman pros-ecuted the case. The case was in-vestigated by the Coffey County Sheriff ’s Office, Iola Police De-partment and Anderson County Sheriff ’s Department.

OYSTER BAY, N.Y. (AP) — Authorities were work-ing on plans Friday to raise a capsized yacht where three suburban New York City children died during a Fourth of July outing to watch fireworks and 24 oth-er people were left scram-bling for their lives.

The cause of the acci-dent was unclear, but boat experts said too many peo-ple were on board. That combined with weather, and a strong wave might have doomed the vessel

known as Kandi Won as it was steering toward land following the show.

Investigators are count-ing on gaining knowl-edge from survivors and the boat itself once it is brought up from 60 feet below the surface of Long Island Sound.

James Mercante, lawyer for an insurance company who is representing the boat’s owner, said it ap-peared that the boat might not get raised before Sat-urday. He said the exper-

tise of the Coast Guard and the Navy was being tapped for the effort.

Mercante lambasted reports that there were not enough life jackets on board the vessel. The three children who died were in the cabin, where no life vests were required.

“There were enough life jackets on board for every person on board and more, there were plenty of life jackets on board,” he said. “The life jackets had noth-ing to do with this incident.”

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Neighborhood watch lead-er George Zimmerman was released from jail Friday for a second time while he awaits his second-degree murder trial for fatally shooting Trayvon Martin.

Zimmerman left the Sem-

inole County Jail a day af-ter Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester granted a $1 million bail with strict conditions. He wore a white shirt and dress jacket as he walked out.

The neighborhood watch leader is required to stay in

Seminole County. He was al-lowed to leave Florida after his first release in April. He must be electronically mon-itored, can’t open a bank ac-count, obtain a passport or set foot on the grounds of the local airport. He has a 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew.

We Take Delivery Seriously!

as before.”Six months later, how-

ever, he literally saw stars — “blue stars” — followed by “a slipping feeling. I felt like I was dying, but couldn’t control it.”

Lind lost consciousness and came to when the car door slammed when his co-workers had brought him to the hospital. Lind formerly owned a mud-jacking busi-ness that corrects the foun-dations of buildings.

His heart was beating 220 beats per minute, signaling ventricular tachycardia.

“Then they did the pad-dles and shocked my heart back to a normal heart rate,” he said, referring to defibrillation.

Doctors closely moni-tored Lind from then on.

“They never could find anything,” he said of a cath-eterization. “My vessels and arteries were clean, though I had four uncles who had heart disease.”

In 2010, Lind suffered another setback, this time ventricular fibrillation, “where your heart shakes like Jell-O.”

Fortunately, he was at the hospital undergoing an ablation procedure for scar tissue in his heart, when “I felt like a blanket was com-ing over my head. Every-thing went dark.”

After two treatments from a defibrillator failed to revive Lind, doctors began cardio pulmonary resusci-tation, which revived him.

A third shock by a defi-brillator “felt like a 2 by 4 across my chest,” he said.

After this incident in late 2010, coupled with an increasing amount of scar tissue in his heart, doctors recommended Lind have a heart transplant.

“I didn’t say yes right away,” he said. “I thought I was 10 feet tall and bullet-proof; that I would always be able to rehab.”

Doctors classified him as a category 2 candidate, able to live independently until a suitable match arrived.

But another bad episode on June 2 of 2011 changed Lind’s status to 1A – most critical. Within the next 24 hours Lind was alerted of a possible donor and shortly thereafter received “the gift” — the term medical teams use to refer to a do-nated heart.

WHEN HE awoke from the six-hour surgery Lind said he first noticed how he

could take a deep breath.“It felt so good to be able

to breathe,” he said. His “old” heart had been work-ing at 16 percent efficiency. Post-transplant, he had a heart that started at 70 per-cent.

Sometimes people don’t live long enough to receive a new heart. Lind knows he was extremely lucky that someone else’s misfortune saved his life. But that also can be a burden.

“I realized that someone else was grieving. It made me want to honor this heart. To take care of it,” he said.

Today Lind wears a ring on which is engraved, “To-day is a gift,” given to him by wife Ashley, who works in the interventional ra-diology department at KU Medical Center.

A biopsy of Lind’s dis-eased heart showed that he had suffered from cardiac sarcoidosis, a disease that rarely affects the heart and which has a survival rate

of 2 percent, partly because of its difficulty to detect.

FOR THE first year af-ter the transplant Lind was very careful to guard against any kind of infec-tion, lest his body would “reject” his new heart.

“My body will never treat it as its own,” he said.

The transplant has changed his life.

“The first time I saw the sun rise after coming out of surgery, I could see a whole new life in front of me,” he said. “Now my focus is on helping other people with heart disease, being there for my daughters and my wife, taking care of myself for them.”

Lind has two daughters, Sydnie, 17, from a previous marriage, and Raelea, 2. His in-laws are Sherri and Ken Hart. His sister is Vick-ie Vaughn, all of Iola.

Lind still has battles to face.

A recent scan showed an 80 percent blockage in an artery to his heart, requir-ing a stent. He calls the set-back “a bump in the road.”

Still, it was a reminder that watching his diet and getting adequate exercise is crucial to good heart health.

Lind also will be on a ret-inue of medication; some for the sarcoidosis, which can infect other parts of his body and others for helping his body accept “the gift.”

“Fifty percent of those who have heart transplants survive the first year; after that, 75 percent live up to five years. Much of that is determined by your state of mind,” he said. “I real-ize how blessed I have been. I’ve been put on this earth to live and serve others. I don’t want to lose another minute.”

Tehran, Iran (AP) — Iran’s spy chief is accusing French and German intel-ligence services of cooper-ating with the CIA to kill Iranian nuclear scientists.

Heidar Moslehi said Fri-day that intelligence servic-es in the region have also taken part in the campaign. He did not name other countries.

In the past, Iran has blamed the U.S., Britain and Israel over the killing of five nuclear scientists. The last assassination was in January. The U.S. and Britain have denied in-volvement. Israel has not

commented.Moslehi said Western

intelligence agencies share sources and information in their operations against Iran.

The West suspects Iran is aiming to produce nuclear weapons and demands lim-its on Iran’s program. Iran insists its nuclear develop-ment is aimed at peaceful purposes like power gen-eration.

PAMPLONA, Spain (AP) — Tens of thousands of revelers showered each other with sparkling wine and waved red kerchiefs Friday as the blast of a small rocket signaled the start of this year’s run-ning of the bulls.

Spain’s most famous summer festival kicked off in the jam-packed and cob-blestoned main square of the northern town of Pam-plona. People from around the world, many wearing the traditional red ker-chief and white shirt and pants, roared their approv-al as an official on a city hall balcony declared the San Fermin festival under way. He then lit the rocket, its boom echoing through the plaza.

Revelers sprayed each other with white wine, water and other liquids, and pelted each other with flour, making for a pasty but merry mess. Huge plastic balls used to advertise products and services bounced atop the crowd.

“It looked like a giant food fight,” said Andrea Smith, 33, a member of the U.S. military stationed in Italy. A native of Cox-

sackie, New York, she had come to Pamplona on leave just to watch all the fun — not to test her luck with the 1,100-pound beasts that are the stars of the show.

The bulls thunder along with six bell-tinkling steers meant to keep the bulls running in a pack, with the goal of making the run safer. An isolat-ed bull can get spooked and disoriented, becom-ing much more likely to charge at people.

Since record keeping began in 1924, 15 people have been killed by bulls in the early morning festi-val runs. The most recent such tragedy came in 2009 when a young Spaniard was gored in the neck as he tried to escape a bull by sliding feet-first under a fence separating the course from the crowd watching the run.

For over a century, many peo-ple and their representatives have wanted financial access to medical care for all Americans. They were and are mostly Demo-crats, but there were Republican presidents and legislators among them, at least in the beginning.

In 1972, President Richard M. Nixon sent a proposed health care law to Congress (much like Hillary-care, 1993-94) that I found to be a good beginning and in-troduced immediately in the U.S. House. But Sen. Ted Kennedy felt Nixon’s bill did not go far enough, and rejected it. Later, Sen. Kenne-dy characterized his refusal to go forward with the Nixon proposal as his greatest political mistake.

Why do many people want uni-versal health care?

Because it’s the civilized thing

to do. It saves lives, avoids dis-ability, and prevents personal and family financial disasters.

Our own well-being and the well-being of our families are probably number one on nearly everyone’s list. But, absent health insurance, many people are de-nied care, or delay care to their physical and financial detriment. Americans die in the tens of thou-sands because they don’t seek

care in a timely manner. Others are unnecessarily disabled.

It is not unreasonable to sug-gest every legislator opposed to universal health care should wear a skull and crossbones on his/her lapel, rather than that gaudy con-gressional pin. As long as they are responsible for deaths, they should get credit for them.

Of the 30 wealthy nations mak-ing up the Organization for Eco-nomic Cooperation and Develop-ment, only three (Chile, Turkey and Mexico) have proportion-ately more medically uninsured than we have — in our case about 50 million among our 310 million residents.

With the 2008 Obama election sweep, Democrats got enough power (all Republicans voted no) to take another shot at saving lives and civilizing our society. Because they wanted to build on our 70-year tradition of private health insurance, and, in turn avoid insurers’ opposition and continue to harvest their cam-paign contributions, they stut-tered and tripped their way to a law that falls dismally short of meeting our ultimate needs of universal coverage and cost con-trol.

But, Obamacare — which has evolved from a pejorative into a handy handle for the law — in order to require insurance com-

panies to accept all applicants regardless of pre-existing condi-tions, and to cancel life-time ex-penditure limits, needed to sweet-en the insurance risk pool with more well people.

So, with repeated urging from former Gov. Mitt Romney of Mas-sachusetts (which under 2006 Romneycare has achieved 98 per-cent health insurance coverage) they devised a penalty for those who can afford health insurance and do not purchase it. It is to be administered and collected by the Internal Revenue System.

Here the feathers hit the fan. Does Congress have the power under the commerce clause to require people to make certain purchases or pay a penalty, a sweetheart conservative idea of personal responsibility first brought forward by the right-wing Heritage Foundation? Pro-pelled almost entirely by conser-vatives, the question was off to the Supremes.

In rushed young Lochinvar from the West in the person of Chief Justice John Roberts Jr., who declared the penalty a tax, and thereby constitutional under the Congress’ undisputed power to tax. Thus, the power of the commerce clause was not further defined.

Obamacare takes a few shots at controlling costs.

The law demands health insur-ance companies, depending on size, pay out 80-85 percent of re-ceipts for medical services, and states have insurance exchanges to provide competition. But, the first promises to be an administra-tive nightmare, and the second, a passing dream.

In the next four months, Repub-licans will be telling you some amazing things. For example, I caught House Speaker John Boehner telling the world Obam-acare will “Europeanize Ameri-can medicine.”

Oh, if it only would!We would have universal finan-

cial access to care. It would cost conservatively $1.8 trillion annu-ally, two-thirds of $2.7 trillion we are now spending, saving $900 bil-lion annually to be spread among financially pressed families, busi-nesses, and governments. On a per-person basis, if our health care system were Europeanized we would be spending just under $6,000 per person, rather than to-day’s $8,953 per person annually.

And guess what? We would be living healthier and longer lives. All that stands between us and this happy result are for-profit insurance companies and the Re-publican Party.

Jandy Wiltse knows better than most what prolonged drought means to area farmers.

She works for Allen County’s Farm Service Agency and deals daily with farmers whose liveli-hoods depend on harvested crops.

We visited recently about the the high stress levels that has enveloped local farmers and how important agriculture is to Iola and Allen County.

It is our No. 1 industry, Wiltse allowed.

A week ago Doug Strickler sat down at his computer and pulled up figures about historic Allen County yields and acres planted. He figured this summer’s drought — most crops today are beyond recovery — would mean losses of 100 bushels an acre for corn and 30 bushels for soybeans. Plug-ging in projected prices of $6 for corn and $13 for beans at harvest, the computer generated a spread sheet that showed countywide lost revenue of about $45 million for the two crops.

Add to that lower gains for beef cattle and lesser milk production, and revenue lost soars to more than $50 million.

Practically all farmers insure their crops these days, Wiltse noted, but observed that doesn’t mean they’re going to get a fat check for sitting on their duffs when crops fail.

Insurance payments do little more than cover production costs, she said, which is helpful but doesn’t leave much on the bottom line. That’s understandable when input costs for corn are about $300 an acre, $150 for beans.

The lone financial refuge for agriculture this year was wheat, with yields averaging about 60 bushels an acre. The downside is wheat isn’t planted much here-abouts.

Iola, and Allen County, has the advantage of several industries that employ a good number of people and are doing well — with temporaries, Gates Corporation has about 800 employees — and agriculture is at the top of the list.

Its fragmentation, though not as pronounced as it was years ago, shows just how cash-intensive a business it is and how important farming is to our economy.

And the second kick in the fanny is that this is the second straight year that fall crop yields have been squeezed by drought and heat.

Last week’s Supreme Court decision in NFIB v. Sebelius may have provided the framework in which 2012 Kansas campaigns will be conducted, but the week before an even more pivotal de-cision came down: the districts those campaigns will be con-ducted in were redrawn by a federal district court instead of the Kansas Legislature. The Leg-islature dithered until admitting members could not satisfy their constitutional duty, outsourcing the decision to a federal court. Some important lessons can be learned from what will be Kan-sas’ political geography for the next decade.

The court map changed Kan-sas’ state legislative borders drastically. The significant changes to all House and Sen-ate districts suggest the court slapped the Legislature’s wrists for failing to complete its redis-tricting duty. The new districts seemed to be drawn especially to hurt anyone who tried to redraw boundaries for their benefit. Nearly a quarter of the Kansas Senate will be freshmen because of the maps, as will more than a third of the House.

For years, disgruntled voters have talked a good game about “throwing the bums out.” Dis-satisfaction with politics has led some to claim established politi-cians should be forcibly ejected from office. Whether the senti-ment emerges through term limits or recalls, people love the idea of forcing change on legis-latures. But incumbents win re-election at a rate of 90 percent at

times of drastic changes, so the public’s desire to throw the bums out is forgotten in voting booths. The new maps promise change, but don’t expect new brooms to sweep Topeka clean in 2012.

State Republicans, already stocked with a surplus of candi-dates planning for a Brownback-friendly takeover of the Senate, had the advantage of an estab-lished farm team. Kansas Dem-ocrats will fail to contest nine Senate and 33 House seats, while Republicans will pass on just five House districts and none in the Senate. Republicans have con-tested primaries in almost three-quarters of Senate districts and nearly half of House seats. The deep GOP bench means both chambers will continue to be dominated by Republicans, and may shift the Senate further right.

To ensure the filing deadline queue outside Secretary of State Kris Kobach’s office was longer than midnight showings of The Hunger Games, the state GOP had a fraught weekend. Both state parties established recruit-ment war rooms to make sure they had full candidate slates.

The incumbents have massive advantages toward re-election,

too. Candidates had to file, cal-culate their new districts’ par-tisanship, and raise funds im-mediately. Primary campaigns will last less than two months, sounding wonderful to critics of long American contests, but short campaigns favor incum-bents with experience campaign-ing. Inexperienced campaigners without connections to existing political power bases will strug-gle to build a campaign capable of communicating their message in a short time. The promise of a significant infusion of new blood into the Legislature is seriously threatened by a short campaign season that favors established candidates with name recogni-tion, experience campaigning, and a fundraising base.

We also will get an intense campaign season because of its brevity. Incumbents barred from fundraising during the legisla-tive session have gone from a thousand dollars in their cam-paign accounts to a hundred thousand in a matter of days. A rush to verify voter databases followed as candidates struggled to know which voters they must reach out to and which ones are now in other districts. Advan-tage: incumbents. In the end, voters respond to names they recognize and well-crafted cam-paign messages. Change is rare in legislatures, and this year looks to be no different. Voters in Kansas may think they’ve been handed the change they’ve dreamed of, but while the faces may change the game will likely stay the same.

A look back in time

25 Years AgoWeek of July1, 1987

A survey of industrial wages made by the Kansas Department of Human Resources put the state average at $17,886 a year. The Al-len County average was $14,502. Workers in Wyandotte, Sedg-wick and Coffey counties were above $21,000. The lowest wages in the state were paid to workers in Chase County who averaged $9,854.

When conversation in the Ford garage gravitated to racing, Weiland’s ears perked up.

“I heard the guys talking about Fort Scott’s track and I went over to see what was going on,” Al said.

A young neighbor, Bob Taggart, had a car and asked Weiland for a hand with a sputtering carbure-tor.

“I took it to the house and worked it over,” Weiland said, and naturally enough went on race night to make sure his handiwork was successful.

“I got the bug,” Al said.The fall of 1951 he found

a 1934 Ford coupe, pulled it into his garage — later his shop — and built a racer of his own.

He had the car ready for the 1952 season at Lap Land, a track in Gas, and enlisted Frank Ornelas to drive. Pushing 40, Weiland decided he’d be better doing the mechanic work and let someone else do the driv-ing.

The first night gave a glimpse of the future.

“There were a lot of cars and Frank ran off and left them,” Al winked, vividly remembering his first race.

“We were winning about every race and the others (owners and drivers) said I was cheating,” Al huffed. They didn’t take into con-sideration that “I worked on Fords for a living, and most of the others were carrying out groceries, or something like that, and just had an old car they’d thrown together.

“They tore down my mo-tor and didn’t find anything wrong.”

Maybe with a little sour taste from the incident, Weiland sold the car to John Heard and Johnny Ec-cles, but after a few weeks “they gave it back,” after realizing what maintaining a racer entailed.

Eccles continued to drive for Weiland.

“THEN I GOT a little cocky,” Al said, with a wry grin and punctuating laugh.

Weiland thought he was good enough to compete on a higher level, with more than a “stock” car.

Eccles — one of Wei-land’s favorite drivers — decided travel and bigger tracks weren’t to his liking. In stepped Willie Crane, a driver from Springfield, Mo., who had built a reputa-tion for being a hard-char-ger on bigger tracks.

“Crane said he’d drive for me on two conditions,” Al said. “One, I had to take the knobby tires off the back and he wanted to race

at Joplin.“Sounded good to me.”Weiland moved up with

a flathead Ford, bored, stroked and modified to the point that it whined down the straight-away so fast it nearly twisted off the ta-chometer’s dial.

“It’d run,” was Al’s satis-fied reflection.

Crane remained on board for quite a spell in races at Joplin and then Kansas City and Topeka, before Jack Belk, a well-known driver from Joplin, squeezed his torso into Wei-land’s familiar No. 37.

Then came the big time.Ron Fowler, a Chanute

driver with a winning re-cord, talked to Weiland about the Oklahoma cir-cuit, where frenzied fans jammed stands and purses were several times those of other Midwest tracks.

Weiland agreed, although it “got to be a rat race.”

“We raced at Joplin Tues-day night, Muskogee Fri-day night and Tulsa Satur-day night,” Al recalled.

Eventually, the Weiland-Fowler duo settled on Muskogee and Tulsa, win-ning three championships at Muskogee and one at Tulsa, as well as a new Mus-tang convertible in 1965.

“I sold the Mustang to young Doc (Frank) Len-ski. I should have kept it. Just think what it would be worth today,” he said.

Weiland and Fowler’s parting wasn’t amicable.

“He wanted to get into a ‘better’ class,” Al grimaced, but the “old wheat farmer, as they called me” had the last laugh.

“There was a special race in Oklahoma City, with $1,000 to win,” Al said of a time when it took several

weeks to make that much money at a good-paying job.

“I called Bob Williams up in Kansas City and he said he’d drive for me,” Al reminisced. “He timed in fourth and when the green flag dropped, he jumped out about a half a lap ahead and led all 50 laps of the race. There were 30 cars in that race, all of them good ones. But, we won.”

Shortly after that Wei-land sold his racer, calling it quits — or so he planned — in 1974.

HAROLD SPARKS, a railroad engineer who lived in Chanute, had followed Weiland’s career and came up every chance he got.

“That winter, in ’74, Sparky pulled up to my ga-rage one day and had all the parts for a race car, the very latest in speed parts,” Al said.

He couldn’t resist a friend and spent the winter putting together one last racer, building it from the floor up.

Sparks raced each week in Wichita, and won the point championship.

That was it for complete builds, but Weiland wasn’t out of the racing altogeth-er.

Iolan Rodney Sigg asked Weiland for help in put-ting together a motor for a dragster. Weiland whined a bit and, as is his persuasive nature, talked young Sigg into “having more fun go-ing round and round.”

Another success story. “Rodney’s got trophies

all around his big garage,” Al said. “He’s won a lot of races.”

“I raced at about every track between Knoxville, Iowa, and Mesquite, Tex-

as,” Al said, as he shifted into an even more reflective mood.

“I won a lot of races and I want it clear that the driv-ers always were at least 50 percent” of his success. “Guys like Eccles and Belk and Ornelas and Williams, they all won for me.

“It’s all over now,” Al said, in a voice as strong and clear as it was 50 years ago. “I look back at my re-cord and I did pretty well. Not bad for a farm boy from Neosho Falls who never fin-ished high school.”

“I’M ON DEATH row,” Al said, as his sense of humor started to peak.

“Terese (Yetzbacher) said I could live here until I died, and that she didn’t care if I lived to be 200,” he said.

Several people Weiland has befriended through the years — he’s particularly fond of the Sigg “boys” — make special efforts to stop by the house he shared with Hazel Yetzbacher before her death in 2009.

For a centenarian, Weiland gets about well, has a mind as sharp as ever and except for failing eyesight and a few leg problems is healthy.

While racing occupied him for 25 years of mid-life, he didn’t have tunnel vi-sion. He took time to cut a rug at any opportunity, and allows, “I was pretty good on the dance floor.”

He and wife Gladys, who died in 1987, were partners, but he also cuddled up to others.

“I didn’t go for ballroom dancing, though, I liked that polish-your-belt-buckle dancing. I’d give anything if I still could dance.”

He and Gladys married during World War II. “She always had a job and went from camp to camp until I went overseas,” where he served as a tank mechanic with Patton’s Third Army, including action in the Bat-tle of the Bulge.

“I DON’T know why I’ve lived to be a hundred,” Al concluded.

“Gladys and I talked about it once and she said we’d never make it.

“I don’t know why I have. I’ve just taken one day at a time and haven’t worried about anything.

“The days have just add-ed up.”

are always in attendance at her various competitions.

Her father is a team rop-er, while her cousin, John Hutton, serves as a mentor and coach, working with Hicks during her spare time.

“John rode with Kaitlyn through the poles, then she tried it once by herself, and she hasn’t looked back,” said Susie Bennett, Kait-lyn’s great-aunt.

“Kaitlyn really likes it,” agreed Margaret Bennett, Kaitlyn’s great-great-aunt.

“She’s definitely not one of those kids you have to drag to get them on a horse. You put her on a horse, then you have to drag her away.”

Kaitlyn has taken a lik-ing to her equine partners.

Up until recently — and during her successful haul in May in Topeka — Kai-tlyn competed solely on Skeeter, a 19-year-old quar-ter horse.

“Skeeter is great at pro-tecting her,” Susie Bennett said, “but Skeeter isn’t ex-actly built for speed.”

Following her May com-petition, Kaitlyn began rid-ing Sam, another 19-year-old quarter horse, albeit one with a little more “gid-dy-up” than Skeeter.

“With Skeeter, she was

taking him about as fast as he could go,” Susie Bennett said. “With Sam, he can go faster, but he only goes as fast as she lets him.

“That’s what we want with our horses,” Margaret Bennett said. “It’s a lot eas-ier to gin up these horses to get them to go faster than it is to calm them down.”

Among Hicks’ upcom-ing competitions will be in barrel racing at the Allen County Fair.

She also will compete in Oolagah, Okla., and Erie.

“She loves the barrels and the poles, but she’s already asking when she can start roping,” Susie Bennett said with a laugh. “We’ll wait a while for that one.”

Detroit. “We mostly slept, but it was hard to sleep be-cause of the heat. I prob-ably got about four hours of sleep each night.”

St. Louis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Indianapolis and several other Midwest cit-ies have broken heat re-cords this week. And with even low temperatures setting record highs, some residents have no means of relief, day or night.

The National Weather Service said the record-breaking heat that has baked the nation’s mid-section for several days was slowly moving into the Mid-Atlantic states and Northeast. Excessive-heat warnings remained in place Friday for all of Iowa, Indiana and Illinois, as well as much of Wis-consin, Michigan, Mis-souri, Ohio and Kentucky.

St. Louis hit a record high of 105 on Thurs-day and a record low of 83 — the second day in a row the city has broken records for both tem-peratures. Temperatures didn’t fall below 82 in Chi-cago, 78 in Milwaukee and 77 in Indianapolis.

“When a day starts out that warm, it doesn’t take as much time to reach high temperatures in the low 100s,” said Marcia Cronce, a meteorologist with the National Weath-er Service. “You know it’ll be a warm day when you start out at 80 degrees.”

In Chicago on Thurs-day, the Shedd Aquarium lost power as tempera-tures soared to 103 de-grees, a record for July 5. Officials said emergency generators immediately kicked in and the outage never threatened any ani-mals, but several hundred visitors were sent back out into the heat.

Not even the setting of the sun brought respite as temperatures hovered around 90 degrees down-town at 10 p.m. Some visitors made their way to Millennium Park to splash in the park’s kid-friendly Crown Fountain.

“It’s hotter here than it is in Arizona,” said Mary Dominis, Tempe, who brought her daughter along to play in the water. “I came here to visit my family and to get away from the heat of Arizona.”

Ruben Davila, 32, of Northern California was

also in Chicago visiting family, and at the park seeking some cool relief.

“The heat has made it difficult to walk around and view the sights,” said Davila, who was accompa-nied by his wife and three children.

The heat has been much worse than a mere inconvenience for some. St. Louis officials have re-ported three heat-related deaths in recent days, and officials in the Chicago area said two people there may have died due to heat Wednesday. A coroner in Rock County, Wis., said the death of an 83-year-old woman was definitely due to the heat. In Ten-nessee, authorities have opened a criminal inves-tigation into last week’s heat deaths of two young brothers.

It was hot enough to buckle roadways. The Wisconsin State Patrol said the pavement buck-led Thursday on Inter-state 90 westbound near Madison and on Inter-state 39 northbound near Portage.

With the National Weather Service’s heat warning for the city last-ing until Saturday af-ternoon, Chicago Public Schools CEO Jean-Claude Brizard canceled all sum-mer school classes Friday.

Meanwhile, many cit-ies have tried to help by opening cooling centers and extending the hours for their public pools. In some areas, recent storms have knocked out electric-ity; about 137,000 people in Michigan were without power Friday as tempera-tures moved steadily to-ward the 100-degree mark.

Lack of electricity also is likely to compound the misery for many in the storm-ravaged East as dangerous temperatures move in.

The heat has also taken a toll on agriculture.

Dean Hines, the owner of Hines Ranch Inc. in the western Wisconsin town of Ellsworth, said he found one of his 80 dairy cows dead Thursday, an apparent victim of the heat.

“We’re using fans and misters to keep them cool,” he said. “It’s been terrible. When it doesn’t cool down at night, the poor animals don’t have a chance to cool down.”

Iola City Council mem-bers will be asked Monday whether to approve waste-water rate increases in or-der to ensure the city’s util-ity fund remains solvent.

City Administrator Carl Slaugh will ask for a rate increase of $1.50 to the minimum monthly charge, from $5 to $6.50, and a 45-cent per unit of water increase, from $1.50 to $1.95. The net effect for an average consumer would be about $6.70 more per

month, according to fig-ures provided by Slaugh.

The increased revenue would provide funding for regular maintenance and upgrades.

Council members also will discuss a request to allow a street dance for Farm-City Days, among other items.

The 6 p.m. Monday meeting will be in the New Community Build-ing at Riverside Park.

The public is invited.

By ROB BURKETTrob@iolaregister.com

Red Devil nation has another athlete pursuing greatness. For-mer Allen Community College and current University of Mis-sissippi track star Isiah Young is set to run for Olympic gold.

The Junction City product is one of three U.S. runners who qualified for the 200-meter dash July 1 at the National Olympic Trials in Eugene, Ore.

The road from Junction City to Eugene ran through Iola. Young needed academic help coming out of high school. He attended ACC to get better in the class-room so he could keep making strides outside of it.

“Allen Community College was great for me,” Young said. “It was a good place for me to get myself ready for a Division I program like Ole Miss. We really worked hard while I was there with the facilities we had. I appreciated the coaching staff and the work they put into me.”

The things he remembers most about his time in Iola, outside of being a standout runner, are the sense of community and small-town feel. Those were attributes, he said, that were helpful in get-ting him focused for his path to-ward London.

“Iola was good for me,” Young said. “It was quiet and friendly. I needed that kind of situation so I could really focus on what was important for getting me to the next level of my education and my running career.”

At Ole Miss, Young has con-tinued to approach his running with a focus honed at ACC. His personal-best time at 22 seconds flat, set while wearing Red Dev-il colors, was shattered at the Olympic Trials with a mark of 20.16. That time brought him in as the final qualifier in his event. While only placing third, Young remains confident about his chances in London.

“I mean I’ve been feeling good,” Young said. “My body is in great shape and I ran well in my last race so I think it’s only going to be going up in terms of my ex-pectations.”

Turning his attention to Lon-don, the Kansan is looking for-ward to a series of firsts.

“This’ll be my first time going overseas,” Young said. “I think it’s going to be a lot of fun. My mom is probably going to come over and watch me run and also we’ll go see a lot of the events probably.”

As a fan himself of some of the more famous athletes going to the Olympics, Young is partic-ularly excited to see one athlete in particular.

“I think getting to see if Mi-chael Phelps can win 10 medals would be a lot of fun,” Young said. “I want to see him and also I’ll be rooting for USA basketball, too.”

Young will compete Aug. 7-9 through three rounds of compe-tition.

“Hopefully I’ll do well,” Young

said. “I’m just going to keep working hard and not take this for granted.”

SportsWIMBLEDON, England (AP)

— For Roger Federer, it’s Wim-bledon final No. 8.

For Andy Murray, it’s No. 1 — and the first for a British man since 1938.

Federer, a 16-time Grand Slam champion, beat defending cham-pion Novak Djokovic 6-3, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 Friday under the closed roof at Centre Court to reach a mod-ern-era record eighth final at the All England Club. He is now one victory from equaling Pete Sampras’ record of seven titles.

“I have one more match to go. I’m aware of that,” said the 30-year-old Federer, who is 6-1 in Wimbledon finals. “Still, it’s al-ways nice beating someone like Novak, who has done so well here last year, the last couple years.”

The next challenge will come Sunday against Murray, who is the first British man to even reach the Wimbledon final since Bunny Austin 74 years ago. Murray, also trying to become the British man to win the Wimbledon title since Fred Perry in 1936, beat Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 7-5 in the second semifinal.

If Federer does win Sunday in his 24th Grand Slam final, he would also take the No. 1 rank-ing from Djokovic and equal Sampras’ record of 286 weeks as the top-ranked player.

“There’s obviously a lot on the line for me in terms of win-ning here, the all-time Grand Slam record, world No. 1,” Fe-derer said. “I’m also going into that match with some pressure, but I’m excited about it. That’s what I play for.”

Federer and Djokovic went for winners on almost every point. But it was Federer who got the key points when they mattered in the third set.

“It’s hard to fire bullets the whole time, so you try to also find some range. If he tees off first, it’s hard to defend obvious-ly,” said Federer, now 1-0 against Djokovic on grass. “It’s just not as easy to take that many balls out and come up with amaz-ing shots time and time again. That’s why I kept on attacking.”

At 4-4, Djokovic had his chance with only his third break point of the match. Federer held with three service winners.

Moments later, while serv-ing to stay in the set — and, es-sentially, the match— Djokovic gifted Federer a pair of break points by blasting an overhead long with much of the court open. He saved one, but Fe-derer’s overhead smash on the second gave the Swiss great the third set, and put him on the way to the final.

“(I) had unfortunately a bad service game on 5-4, and obvi-ously he uses his opportunities when they’re presented,” said Djokovic, who had reached the last four major finals. “So you have to be always consistent. I wasn’t.”

The win improved Federer’s semifinal record at the All Eng-land Club to 8-0. His only loss

in the final came in 2008, when Rafael Nadal beat him 9-7 in the fifth set.

“I hope I can keep my nerves,” said Federer, looking toward the final. “I’m sure I can. Then hope-fully win the match. But we’ll see about that.”

William Renshaw and Arthur Gore also played in eight Wimble-don finals but that was when the defending champion received a bye into the following year’s title match. That rule was changed in

1922. Renshaw won seven titles and Gore three.

On Friday, Fe-derer had the

only break of the first set to take the lead, and Djokovic re-turned the favor in the second set

to even the score.The third set

proved decisive, and Djokovic fought to stay

in it right from the start. After holding easily, Federer gained a break point when Djokovic sent a forehand long. Although the Serb saved it, and eventually held to 1-1, it was the beginning of the end for him.

The next three games went quickly and on serve, but Fe-derer then earned a pair of break points in the sixth game. Djokovic again saved them, the first after a 24-stroke rally that ended with Federer’s forehand going wide.

“He was the better player. In the important moments he was ag-gressive, hitting from both sides,” Djokovic said. “Obviously, that’s what you expect when you play against Roger at the final four of a Grand Slam. I knew that.”

Murray later played Tsonga under an open roof on Centre Court, and under intense pres-sure to succeed in front of the British public.

“Big relief,” Murray said. “I just got to try to keep it together for the final.”

Murray got off to a fast start, serving well and winning the first two sets easily. And after los-ing the second, he hung on in the fourth, breaking in the final game with a forehand return winner.

The 25-year-old Murray was playing in the Wimbledon semi-finals for the fourth straight year. Now he made it to that elu-sive final, and on Sunday he’ll be facing an opponent who beat him in straight sets in the 2008 U.S. Open final and the 2010 Aus-tralian Open final.

In Murray’s only other major final, the 2011 Australian Open, he lost to Djokovic — again in straight sets.

WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Wimbledon finalist Agniesz-ka Radwanska canceled a news conference Friday because of a respiratory illness that made it difficult for her to speak.

Radwanska is scheduled to meet four-time Wimbledon champion Serena Williams for the title Saturday.

“Unfortunately I have picked up an upper respiratory ill-ness, which is affecting my nose and throat,” Radwanska said in a statement. “I have been playing a lot of matches here in the rain and cold wind, and I haven’t been well for a few days. The most important thing is that I’m feeling good on the court and playing some good tennis, despite not being able to talk much away from

the court.”Radwanska played with the

ailment Thursday, when she beat Angelique Kerber 6-3, 6-4 and became the first Polish play-er to reach a Grand Slam final since 1939. Her news conference after the match was cut short when she had a coughing fit, and her media session Friday was canceled shortly before it was scheduled to begin.

“I can’t speak for very long, and so I have done as much as I can do today,” Radwanska said in the statement released later. “I will do whatever it takes to make sure I’m ready to play the best I can.”

Radwanska pulled out of women’s doubles shortly before a match Wednesday because of the illness.

Radwanska ill on eve of final

There’s obviously a lot on the line for me in

terms of winning here, the all-time Grand Slam record, world No. 1...That’s what I play for.

Relaxation Is Good For You Whenever I feel full of energy and ambition, I think that I should be doing something more worthwhile than just relaxing or taking it easy. I realize that if one puts in a hard day’s work, they should be entitled to relax and unwind a little, but it seems that there is always something that has to be done. In spite of this, everyone deserves and should have leisure time for rest and relaxation. Relaxation relieves stress and tension, and helps to refresh the soul. Many churches, synagogues and religious organizations have periodic “retreats” or “weekend advances” that help those who attend to rejuvenate themselves. Anything that draws a person closer to our Lord and helps to put our lives into proper perspective is worthwhile, and is helpful for maintaining good mental and physical health. Work and relaxation in balance along with our love, faith and trust in God are good values that help to establish our own self-worth.

TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Calls for a boycott and other unrest on the eve of Libya’s first vote since the overthrow of longtime dic-tator Moammar Gadhafi raised fears of election vio-lence, even as campaigning came to an end Friday for a contest seen as a milestone on the country’s rocky path toward democracy.

Today’s election of a 200-member transitional

parliament caps a messy nine-month transition af-ter a ruinous 2011 civil war that ended in October with the death of Gadhafi, whose four-decade rule left the country deeply divided along regional, tribal and ideological lines.

The parliament will elect a new transitional govern-ment to replace the one appointed by the National Transitional Council that led the rebel side during the eight-month war and held

power in its aftermath.Many in Libya’s oil-

rich east feel slighted by the NTC-issued election laws, purportedly based on population, that allo-cate their region less than a third of the parliamen-tary seats, with the rest go-ing to the western region that includes Tripoli and the sparsely-settled desert south.

In what it called an at-tempt to defuse east-west tensions, the NTC decreed on Thursday that the new parliament will not be re-sponsible for naming the panel that will draft a new constitution. Instead, the drafters will be directly elected by the public in a separate vote at a later date.

But this has not satisfied some in the east, who press for a boycott.

“We don’t want Tripoli to rule all of Libya,” said Fadlallah Haroun, a for-mer rebel commander in the east’s regional capital Benghazi.

Late Thursday, former rebel fighters from the east shut down three eastern oil refineries — in Ras Lanouf, Brega and Sidr — to press the transitional govern-ment to cancel the vote, Haroun said. He added that militiamen also have cut the country’s main coastal

highway linking east to west.

Haroun said boycott sup-porters would take to the streets on election day to “prevent people from vot-ing, because this is a vote that serves those who stole the revolution from us.” He said they would not take up arms but when asked how they would stop voters, he said, “We will see tomor-row.”

Many in the west are equally dissatisfied with

the decree, saying it will undercut the authority of the new parliament.

“The National Transi-tional Council acts like a rooster with its head cut off,” said Yassar al-Bashti, a candidate with the lib-eral Free Libyans Party. “They want to weaken the new parliament after their failures over the past months.”

The vote also will be a test of the strength of Is-lamist parties, which have gained influence in Libya and other nations following the ouster of authoritarian regimes run by strongmen like Gadhafi and Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak. Groups vying for power range from the politically savvy Mus-lim Brotherhood to the ul-traconservative Salafis and former jihadists.

Libyans remain on edge on eve of historic electionsThe National Transitional Council acts like a

rooster with its head cut off. They want to weak-en the new parliament after their failures over the past months.

Public notice

By ROXANA HEGEMANAssociated Press

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas State University student Greg Peterson and some friends were unwind-ing at a drive-in restaurant when LMFAO’s song “Sexy and I Know It” came on the radio. He groaned.

But as the chorus droned on, the 21-year-old found inspiration. He switched “sexy” to “farming” as he began rapping. Then he started coming up with lyrics. It would be fun, he thought, to do a video par-ody with his brothers when he returned home to the family farm in central Kan-sas.

Peterson said the broth-ers aimed the video at their city friends on Facebook because they “hardly knew anything about the farm.” They ended up educating the world. “I’m Farming and I Grow It” video has be-come an Internet sensation with more than 3.2 million views since it was posted June 25 on YouTube.

Its success has been hailed by farm groups, documented by newspapers and even won the brothers a whirlwind trip to New York City for a television appearance on Fox News

Channel’s “Fox & Friends.”Peterson said he and his

family have been a little bit overwhelmed by all the attention and he’s doing “some normal things” now to keep sane. On a recent morning, he was out swath-ing — or mowing — the prairie hay used to feed the family’s cattle.

“I am just trying to rest my brain a little bit and get back to, you know, this is reality,” he said by cell-phone. “This is something I can understand, whereas

when I was in New York, everything was just hitting my mind, and it was kind of like, ‘I can’t believe this, I can’t believe this.’”

The 21-year-old Kansas State University senior isn’t the first to parody LM-FAO’s club hit. Spoofs in-clude “Elmo and I Know It,” which features the popular “Sesame Street” character, “I’m Average and I Know It,” and “Santa and I Know It.” Most have only a few thousand hits, although the Elmo version has garnered

roughly 12.7 million hits in about seven months.

Peterson’s 3:32-minute video begins at the break of dawn with him and his brothers, Nathan, 18, and Kendal, 15, walking across a field of golden wheat that sways gently in the wind. The scenes then shift rapidly to the song’s beat, showing the brothers doing chores, driving combines and tractors and jumping on hay bales. It ends with the three walking off into the sunset across a field where the wheat has been harvested.

One scene shows Peter-son feeding cattle as he raps, “When I step to the bunk, yeah, this is what I see: All the hungry cattle are staring at me. I got pas-sion for my plants, and I ain’t afraid to show it, show it, show it. I’m farming, and I grow it.”

Peterson, who’s majoring in agriculture communica-tion and journalism and minoring in music perfor-mance at Kansas State, said the video was produced with iMovie and Garage-Band software. His 11-year-old sister, Laura, shot some of it on the family farm near Assaria.

Steve Baccus, the presi-

dent of the Kansas Farm Bureau, said what the Pe-terson brothers did on their own is exactly what agri-culture groups have been trying to get other farmers to do — use social media to show consumers the real faces of agriculture.

Individual farmers and industry groups have start-ed using Twitter, YouTube and other social media in recent years to counter the messages put out by tech-savvy environmental and animal rights groups con-cerned about everything from water quality to the size of cages chickens are kept in.

“We think it is a great way to communicate with the consumer and give them an idea of what ex-actly goes on in agriculture on the farm,” Baccus said. “We are being painted by

some different groups in a pretty nasty vein, and that is not at all true. I think we need to get the message out there is another side of ag-riculture.”

He said he loved the Pe-terson brothers’ video: “I liked the way they incorpo-rated humor into it, and I just thought they did a fan-tastic job.”

The Peterson brothers have posted other videos about the family farm on YouTube, and Peterson said they’ll make more. He keeps his iPod Touch with him as he farms, occasion-ally pulling it out and film-ing things.

“That doesn’t take any extra time, or really any extra thought,” he said. “It is just like, ‘This is what I am doing. So I will continue to make those kinds of vid-eos.’”

Viral video draws raves for Kansas brothers

Greg, Nathan and Kendal Peterson’s video “I’m Farm-ing And I Grow It” has drawn more than 3 million views on YouTube.

When I step to the bunk, yeah, this is what I see: All the hungry cattle are staring at me. I got passion for my plants, and I ain’t afraid to show it, show it, show it. I’m farming, and I grow it.

— Excerpt from the Peterson brothers’ viral video smash, “I’m Farming and I Grow it.”

By JOHN HANNAAssociated Press

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Three federal judges who redrew political boundar-ies in Kansas have moved to limit the legal costs that the state will be forced to cover from a lawsuit over the Legislature’s failure to adjust the lines to ensure equal representation.

Attorney General Derek Schmidt and Secretary of State Kris Kobach, de-fendants in the lawsuit, said Thursday they were pleased and encouraged by the judges’ latest order this week, which asks par-ties suing the state for more information about their ex-penses. The judges have re-quests from 19 individuals who want the state to cover nearly $700,000 in attorney fees and other expenses.

The judges drew new lines last month for con-gressional, legislative and State Board of Education districts after an impasse between conservative and moderate Republicans prevented lawmakers from passing any redistricting legislation. Many of the 27 people suing the state had competing interests, and the judges must decide who actually prevailed and how much of their

costs must be covered by the state.

In their latest order, is-sued Tuesday, the judges told the parties to spell out how much of their costs came from presenting spe-cific redistricting propos-als in court and how much of those proposals were reflected in the political maps ultimately drawn by the judges. The judges also said they would not consider all redistricting valid, limiting the state’s tab even further.

“I think it will reduce the number of claimants and the dollar amounts,” said Greg Musil, an Overland Park attorney who repre-sented a Manhattan busi-ness leader.

The lawsuit was filed in early May by Robyn Renee Essex, a Republican pre-cinct committee member from Olathe, but the judges allowed 26 other people to join her, including key fig-ures in the Legislature’s im-passe. Kobach was initially the only defendant — his office oversees elections un-der whatever districts are in place — but the judges al-lowed Schmidt to join him to represent the state on ques-tions involving legal costs.

Last week, Schmidt asked the judges to rule

first on which individuals were entitled to have their legal costs covered by the state and then decide on the amount for each. The judges rejected his request, but Schmidt said he was pleased nonetheless with their order, which gives the suing parties until July 11 to provide more informa-tion.

“As a result of the court’s order, there should be a sub-stantial savings to the Kan-sas taxpayers,” Schmidt said in a statement.

Kobach has argued that none of the plaintiffs should have their legal costs covered because the judges drew their own po-litical maps, rather than approving existing propos-als. He argued Thursday that the judges would have drawn nearly the same maps had Essex remained the only plaintiff.

Panel limits claims for remap caseSHAWNEE, Kan. (AP)

— A northeastern Kansas man who posted mug shots and addresses online of people arrested in Johnson County, then demanded up to $200 to take them down, has shut down his website.

Matthew Creed, 30, of Shawnee, said a massive backlash that included death threats prompted his decision Thursday to close down the site — Blab-bermouthkc.com — that he launched in May, The Kan-sas City Star reported.

Creed’s website featured a map of the bistate Kansas City metro area with dots showing the Kansas or Mis-souri hometowns of people arrested in Johnson County. Clicking on the dots brought

up the mugshots and ad-dresses of people arrested — whether or not they were ever formally charged, much less convicted.

Some of the photos were of people arrested for such infractions as being a mi-nor in possession of tobac-co, or driving with expired registration.

The former disc jockey characterized his enter-prise as a public service, to let people know about wrong-doers in their neigh-borhoods. Critics slammed it as something akin to ex-tortion or blackmail, and the Johnson County Dis-trict Attorney’s office said Thursday it was continu-ing to investigate whether Creed had violated any

Kansas laws.“This guy is just a bottom-

feeding vulture,” said Jay Norton, a lawyer in Johnson County who represented some people featured on the website. “The idea that he was trying to help the com-munity is a total farce.”

Numerous websites post news of arrests, often in-cluding mugshots, and there are others that offer people a way to get such postings removed, for a fee. Creed struck a nerve by combining the two features, including an elaborate scale of pay-ments — $199.99 for prompt removal, $149.99 for remov-al within a few days — for which he would remove pho-tos and arrest information from his own site.

NEW YORK (AP) — Score one for girl power.

A 14-year-old Maine bal-let dancer who led a cru-sade against altered pho-tos in Seventeen magazine now has a promise from top editor Ann Shoket to leave body shapes alone, reserv-ing Photoshop for the stray hair, clothing wrinkle, er-rant bra strap or zit.

And when Shoket or her staff do manipulate imag-es, she vowed in the August issue, they’ll post before and after shots on the mag-azine’s Tumblr page for full transparency.

Shoket’s promises are included in a “body peace treaty” that also commits the magazine to always fea-ture healthy girls and mod-els regardless of clothing size.

The young activist, Julia Bluhm, said Friday from her summer camp she’s “re-ally excited.”

“I didn’t think it would get this big,” she said. “It’s a re-ally great surprise for me.”

Julia and her mom, Mary Beiter, sat down with Sho-ket in New York in early May to discuss the thou-sands of signatures on the Waterville girl’s online pe-tition at Change.org. Julia declared victory after Sho-ket’s announcement, end-ing with more than 84,000 signatures.

Now, two of her fellow bloggers from SPARK Sum-mit, a group of girls and young women trying to end the sexualization of girls in the media, are targeting Teen Vogue to make the same commitment. They’ve collected more than 15,000 signatures since Tuesday.

The editor did cite the support of the National Eating Disorders Associa-tion. The group’s president, Lynn Grefe, lauded the ef-fort as a first step but said far more must be done to promote positive body im-age and a more attainable standard of health and beauty in magazines and other media.

“I’m not saying it’s a total victory,” Grefe said. “Sev-enteen, Teen Vogue, Vogue, Cosmo, every magazine still has ads for diet prod-ucts and other things that we find problematic, but in terms of the Photoshop-ping stuff, I believe that Ann is sincere and wants to really educate the con-sumer and work with the girls and show them what has been Photoshopped and how to recognize that.”

DAILY CRYPTOQUOTES - Here’s how to work it:

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

Dear Tom and Ray: This morning at the gym an ac-quaintance (Fred) told me that he took his car to a mechanic for some brake work, and the mechanic re-placed the pads and rotors. Fred said that he wanted the mechanic to replace the pads but not the rotors. I asked him if the mechanic explained why he replaced the rotors too, and Fred said no. This led to a discussion. How do you know when the pads are all that need to be replaced versus when you need to buff or replace the rotors, too? What symptoms should we typical folks look for? Thanks. — Ed

TOM: Well, the classic symptom of warped rotors is a pulsing in the brake pedal when stopping from

high speeds. Sometimes that’s accompanied by a simultaneous wobbling of the steering wheel.

RAY: But that only tells you when your rotors are warped, not when they’re simply worn out. And my guess is that your friend Fred’s were worn out.

TOM: Brake pads used to be relatively soft. They were made of asbestos. And they would wear out quickly. But the hard, metal rotors would last through several sets of pads. That’s all changed.

RAY: When we got rid of asbestos, brake pads began to be manufactured out of much harder materials — namely, metal. So now, the metal pads grind against the metal rotors, and they wear out at almost the same rate.

TOM: So these days, 99 cars out of a hundred need to have their rotors re-placed when the pads are swapped out.

RAY: We almost always replace the rotors now rath-er than machine (resur-face) them. When you ma-chine a rotor, whether it’s on or off the car, you have to do at least two passes to do it right, and that takes a good half-hour of labor. You add the cost of using the machine, and you have

to charge 60 bucks a rotor. And you can BUY some brand-new rotors now for 30 bucks! So machining them rarely makes sense.

TOM: There are excep-tions. Some rotors won’t come off without breaking the wheel bearing, and we’ll machine those rotors right on the car if there’s enough metal left. But the vast ma-jority of cars that come in for brake jobs these days get new pads and new rotors.

RAY: And for those of you concerned about the envi-ronmental impact, don’t worry. Once a week, a guy named Stumpy comes in and collects all the used ro-tors for recycling — where they’re shipped over to Chi-na and come back as fire-place implements.

Brake pads, rotors wear out at same rateCarTalkTomand RayMagliozzi

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Please discuss polymyalgia rheumatica. My husband, age 71, was diagnosed with it. For two months, his mus-cle aches and pain were so bad that he could not get out of bed in the morning. It took four different doc-tors and three blood tests to find out what was wrong with him.

The doctor has him on the steroid prednisone, and he is doing much better. Why did it take so long to find this disease? — B.T.

ANSWER: Polymyalgia (POL-ee-my-AL-gee-uh) rheumatica (rue-MAT-ee-kuh) is a name unfamiliar to many, but it is truly a fairly common illness. It almost never happens to those younger than 50, and is most prevalent in those in their 70s. It usually comes on rapidly, with muscle and joint pain and stiffness. The hips and shoulders are the areas most often targeted. Raising the arms above the head is most difficult. Combing the hair presents a challenge.

On average, it takes a month to make the correct diagnosis. It’s often mistak-en for some other ailment, like arthritis. That causes the delay in finding the ac-tual cause.

Although muscle pain is the symptom most often complained of, the true trouble arises in inflam-mation of the joint lining. Muscles adjacent to the joint hurt. Most authori-ties believe this is another example of an autoimmune illness, one where the im-mune system turns on its own tissues.

No test specifically iden-tifies polymyalgia as the cause of pain. However, the sedimentation (sed) rate is always high. It’s not a high-

tech test. Blood is put into a cali-

brated tube, and the dis-tance, in one hour, that blood drops from the top of the tube is the sed rate. C-reactive protein, another test of body inflammation, also is elevated.

Prednisone, one of the cortisone medicines, quick-ly controls symptoms. Usu-ally a patient feels much better in a matter of days. Treatment, however, might need to continue for a year or more to prevent a re-lapse.

A companion illness is gi-ant cell arteritis, also called temporal arteritis. Arteri-tis is inflammation of blood vessels. It has to be treated quickly to prevent blind-ness. Prednisone in higher doses is its treatment.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My son, age 63, developed a ping-pong-ball-size sac of fluid on his elbow. He has no pain. He was told it was bursitis. The fluid was drained, but came back immediately. He was told additional draining could lead to infection. He is on anti-inflammatory medi-

cine. What can be done for it? — H.K.

ANSWER: Bursas are small, pancake-shaped de-vices that nature inserted between tendons and bones to reduce friction as the tendons rub against bone. Your son has olecranon bursitis, inflammation of the elbow bursa. The bursa swells with fluid. Elbow trauma is one cause. So is constantly supporting the head with the arms while the elbows rest on a desk.

Quite often, a cause isn’t identified.

If the swelling isn’t pain-ful, then resting the elbow -- encircling it with a com-pression bandage or sleeve and letting time do its thing on the swollen bursa -- takes care of the problem.

If the swelling is large or painful, it can be drained more than once. One of the cortisone drugs, instilled after fluid drainage, pre-vents the fluid from return-ing.

Common ailment carries uncommon nameDr. Paul Donohue

B6Saturday, July 7, 2012 The Iola Register www.iolaregister.com

The announcement that Matt Kenseth would be leaving Roush Fenway Racing at year’s end dominated discussion in the week leading up to the Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway.

Kenseth’s contract status was well known, but few expected him to leave the team with which he has competed for 13 seasons. In Jack Roush’s No. 17 Ford, Kenseth has won 22 races and a champi-onship in 2003. He is also the current Sprint Cup points leader.

The reigning Nationwide Series champion, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., will take Kenseth’s place next year.

Roush remorse — While at the same time stressing that Stenhouse is ready, Roush blamed himself for Kenseth’s exit.

“If I had been as vigilant and diligent and inter-ested in that side of the business as I am on finding why a fuel pump broke or why a connection rod bearing failed or how we could get the next pound of downforce — if I had been taking care of the busi-ness side of the business as hard as I tried to take care of the technical side, I might have been able to stop that,” he said.

Bon voyage — As in the case of the owner, the Roush Fenway stable of drivers wished Kenseth all the best.

“Yeah, I was a little bit surprised,” Greg Biffle said. “Matt and I are good friends, but we don’t talk about business much when we are together, other

than racing. We don’t talk contracts or anything like that. I’m going to lose a good teammate in the garage area. I’m not going to lose a friend, I guess, but I will lose a friend sitting in all the meetings and all that.”

“Matt has been a great team-mate,” Carl Edwards added. “It took us a long time to figure out each other, and I feel that, over the last few years, he has been as close of a friend in the garage as anyone. I have a ton of respect for Matt. He is a heck of a man and a great race-car driver. He has been a huge part of developing things on our team.”

But where to? — Kenseth’s 2013 destination is unannounced, but the prevailing view is that he will wind up driving one of Joe Gibbs’ Toyotas. Whether JGR is planning to add a fourth team — and have Kenseth join Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin and Joey Logano — or whether Kenseth will succeed Logano in the No. 20 is un-known. Among the other speculative possibilities is the entrance of IndyCar owner Michael An-dretti to head up a retooled Dodge program with Kenseth as the team’s centerpiece.

Most of the thinking making the rounds ap-pears to be wishful.

Matt Kenseth kick-starts the merry-go-roundBy Monte DuttonNASCAR This Week

By Monte DuttonNASCAR This Week

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. will begin the 2012 season exactly where he wants to be.

This year Roush Fenway Racing couldn’t come up with enough sponsorship to put Stenhouse, the reigning Nation-wide Series champion, in Sprint Cup. Owner Jack Roush cut his Cup operation from four to three, leaving Stenhouse to defend his title in NASCAR’s leading support series.

Things change.Last week Matt Kenseth announced he would be leav-

ing Roush Fenway Racing at year’s end. Kenseth gave Roush its first Cup championship in 2013 and is a veteran of 13 years at the sport’s premier level.

The move, which won’t be effective until season’s end, opens a spot for Stenhouse, a 24-year-old from Olive Branch, Miss.

“I was kind of shocked when I heard the news,” Sten-house said. “I thought for sure that we would have a fourth car (again) and definitely didn’t see Matt (Kenseth) going anywhere, but you have to take advantage of each

situation you’re in and we have to go into next year ready to go and learn as much as we can, and try to finish this year off on a strong note.”

Stenhouse, who once competed for Tony Stewart’s USAC sprint and midget teams, doesn’t think the im-pending move will do anything but help his bid for a second consecutive Nationwide Series title.

“I think I can go into it with more confidence and more pep in my step,” he said. “I think the team is pumped about it and excited for me.”

Roush expressed disappointment at Kenseth’s deci-sion to leave but confidence that Stenhouse is ready to fill the void.

“His (Kenseth) leaving the team creates a window, a hole if you like, for which we very capable, able, ready, enthusiastic, motivated and ambitious drivers,” Roush said. “We actually have two of them ready to fill voids. One of them is Ricky Stenhouse, and of course, the other is Trevor (Bayne). The plan is for Trevor to be in some kind of a full time ride next year, and of course, Ricky is the heir apparent to the (No.) 17 program.”

The Next Big ThingWith Kenseth leaving, Roush can count on Stenhouse

RICKY STENHOUSE JR. NATIONWIDE SERIES No. 6 SAM’S CLUB/CARGILL FORD

John Clark/NASCAR This WeekWith Matt Kenseth leaving Roush Fenway Racing at the end of the year, 24-year-old Ricky Stenhouse Jr. will step into Kenseth’s ride.

� K’s are wild. Matt Kenseth announced he was leaving. Brad Keselowski won in … Kentucky. Kasey Kahne fi nished second.� Keselowski became the

year’s fi rst three-time winner. On the PGA Tour, Tiger Woods be-came the fi rst three-time winner. Coincidence? Yes, completely. And it isn’t ironic, either.� Make no mistake. All

NASCAR drivers are free agents once the terms of their contracts have been fulfilled. There are no drafts, no trades and no salary caps.� One of the reason Roush

Fenway Racing let Kenseth get away is that the team feels Ricky Stenhouse Jr. is ready for Sprint Cup. The develop-ment program was stopped up, and someone had to go.� That’s not to say that Jack

Roush wanted to lose the driver who gave him his first Cup championship. It’s more that he could afford to lose Kenseth.� Keselowski’s victory in

Kentucky effectively puts him in the Chase. If he falls out of the top 10, he’s going to qualify for one of the two wild-card spots by virtue of his three wins.� Tenth is where Keselowski

is currently situated. The incentive lies in the fact that Keselowski can only use the bonus points from the three victories if he finishes the regular season in the top 10.� By all accounts, traffic was

much improved at Kentucky Speedway, but among many reasons was the fact that the crowd was smaller. The official “estimate” of 105,000 was obviously generous.� Kenseth says his impend-

ing departure will have no effect on his title hopes, and after one week, well, he’s still the points leader.� Faulty strategy was the

latest culprit, but Carl Edwards has finished outside the top 10 in five straight races. Even though he’s still 11th, Edwards is 34 points out of 10th and hasn’t won. In other words, he’s in trouble.

� Who’s hot: Brad Keselowski is the fi rst driver to three in victories. ... Kasey Kahne put an end to a four-race slump by fi nishing second in Kentucky.

� Who’s not: It was an awful night for Stewart-Haas Racing. Tony Stewart fi nished 32nd. Teammate Ryan Newman was 34th. Stewart fell from fi fth to ninth in the points.

VERSUS

After the two tangled during the Quaker State 400, Newman said of Logano, “He’s got a few things to learn and I’m going to have to be the one who teaches him.” After Newman said he spun Logano accidentally (“he lost control”), Logano’s subsequent actions angered him. “Then he raced me poorly and lack-of-respect-wise,” Newman said. “That doesn’t go very far with me. You can see from my past (that) I react to that.” Logano said, “Just got hit from behind (by Newman) and knocked in my quarter panel and made me really, really loose for a few laps, and never caught a caution like we needed.”

NASCAR This Week’s Monte Dutton gives his take: “Newman clearly feels there’s a score to settle. It will be interesting to watch what happens when they’re in close proximity.”

RYAN NEWMAN VS. JOEY LOGANO

Prince Of Bellaire’s One RacePete Arnold, of Bellaire, Texas, competed in

only one race at NASCAR’s highest level. On June 23, 1971, Arnold completed 58 laps in the Space City 300 at Houston’s Meyer Speedway. Only 14 drivers started, and Arnold was credited with 14th. Bobby Allison won the race in a Dodge, with James Hylton second and Walter Ballard third. Arnold earned $340.
