ACC to beef up its agriculture program

By KAYLA BANZET steven@iolaregister.com

Allen Community College is on the verge of beefing up its agricultural program.

ACC trustees learned about the future of the program from Jon Marshall, vice president for finances and operations.

“The enrollment in ag courses this semester is in the single digits and that’s not OK,” Marshall said of the small class sizes.

The program has struggled in recent years to attract agriculture students. Of 317 potential places in the provided courses; only 136 are taken.

“There are ag programs in high schools around our survey area,” he said. “We are continuing to take steps to move forward.”

Redeveloping present courses is one step. Many courses within the program do not have textbooks. Marshall said discussion has begun to discontinue the school’s meat judging team. Marshall also said the program is overstaffed.

Fort Scott and ACC are the two community colleges in the Southeast portion of Kansas that offer an agriculture program.

Senate bill would devastate landfill

By BOB JOHNSON The Iola Register

If a measure being debated in Topeka, Senate Bill 293, were to become law, Allen County’s landfill would be in a heap of trouble.

The bill would restrict county and municipal landfills to accept trash generated only within their geographic boundaries. The change would profit private contractors that operate commercial landfills.

In southeast Kansas, two such landfills are in Montgomery and Crawford counties.

Gas gets new shelter

By BOB JOHNSON The Iola Register

REGISTER/BOB JOHNSON

Bill King, director of Public Works, said Allen County would lose about $365,000 a year collected from the disposal of trash carried here from other counties.

“Our income would go down, but we’d still have to maintain the landfill as we do today,” King said, with the only savings of consequence coming from not having to build landfill cells as often.

Daily maintenance includes crushing and covering of waste deposited, along with monitoring groundwater to ensure safety of nearby areas

and extracting methane generated by the degeneration of organic waste.

The last cell constructed, five years ago, will be good for another decade at current disposal rates of 100 to 130 tons a day. If only Allen County trash were accepted, daily disposal would fall to about 30 tons.

“The counties bringing trash here should be just as concerned as we are,” said King. “If they have to use private landfills, their costs are going to go up.”

GAS — A long-awaited project is underway in Gas. Council members voted Tuesday evening to purchase a community size handicapaccessible storm shelter, to be placed near the old school in the northwest part of town.

Two efforts to attract a Community Development Block Grant to pay for the shelter failed. When the city acquired the school and adjacent property, for $1 from USD 257 last year, a place to locate the shelter materialized.

Location had been a concern because nearby parking was deemed necessary. The shelter can hold 40 people, including those in wheelchairs.

Cost of the 10-by-30-by7-foot concrete structure, weighing 20,000 pounds, will be $54,000. Gas has earmarked the amount in its 2014 budget.

The shelter will have a door at either end of the above ground structure, which will be anchored to a concrete pad.

Gas has seven smaller shelters scattered about town, but they are not well-

suited to the handicapped.

Storm and Fallout Shelters, a Baskin, La., company, will build the structure and install it.

WHAT USES may be made of the school occupied council members for nearly an hour.

Jack McKarnin and Rick Schulenberg visited Kincaid and Stark, to see how abandoned schools in those communities were refitted for community use, as well as Moran and its senior/community center, constructed and maintained by Allen County.

Schulenberg said they found a multitude of uses, from senior citizens activities to recreational opportunities to gathering places for youths to sites for private gatherings.

“They have city meetings, wedding receptions and family reunions, (congregate) meals, walkers, just a lot of possibilities,” he said.

The caveat is how to deal with roof problems.

School district officials estimated its repair/replacement at $90,000. Steve Robb, Gas superintendent, said See GAS | Page A4

Documentation critical to hospital

By SUSAN LYNN The Iola Register

Trustees of Allen County Regional Hospital met in a special meeting Tuesday night to address an issue that could “adversely affect the cash flow of the hospital,” said Harry Lee, chairman of the board.

The two-hour meeting was held in private to protect the identity of any hospital employees who might have

been discussed.

During the meeting’s open session, Lee said it was the board’s hope hospital employees could increase “medical record document flow and improve medical efficiencies.”

A recurring problem for hospital administrators has been a backlog of patient charts not being processed by employees through the appropriate billing systems.

County buys blinds

By BOB JOHNSON The Iola Register

Allen County commissioners spent $2,251.85 for a little privacy.

That’s what bids from Decorator Supply, Iola, totaled for mini-blinds to cover windows in the commission and adjacent conference rooms.

Tuesday morning’s session was in the courthouse basement Assembly Room, to accommodate laying of new carpet in the two rooms.

Ron Holman, maintenance supervisor, said the rooms were painted last week, and that carpet-laying would be completed this week.

He also thinks the new window blinds will be place by next Tuesday’s meeting.

A bid of $803 from D&R Plumbing, Iola, was accepted for installation of a mop sink in

the men’s bathroom at Humboldt’s senior center.

No bids other than those named were received for any of the purchases.

BILL KING, director of Public Works, said utility agreements were in place to open rights of way for construction of a new bridge over Owl Creek, two miles west of Humboldt. Next up will be selection of an engineer.

He said construction bid letting was expected in June.

One of three large roll-up doors on the county shop in Bassett gave up the ghost, King said. He said replacement would cost $7,500 to $10,000, with “us looking at all options.”

His said the doors had been in place about 30 years. The shop was a truck terminal before the county purchased it.

Meeting A special board of education meeting will be at 2 p.m. Thursday at the USD 257 board office, 305 N. Washington.

Financial Focus On Valentine’s Day, Financial Gifts Can Be Sweet

Valentine’s Day is almost here. This year, instead of sticking with flowers or chocolates for your valentine, why not give a gift with a future? Specifically, consider making a meaningful financial gift.

However, a “meaningful” gift doesn’t gain its meaning from its size, but rather its impact. What types of financial gifts can have the greatest effect on the life of your loved one? Here are a few possibilities: • Charitable gifts — Your valentine may well support the work of a variety of charitable organizations. Why not give to one of them, in the name of your loved one? Not only will you be helping a group that does good work, but you may also be able to receive a tax deduction for your contribution, assuming the organization qualifies for taxexempt status. And if you give financial assets, such as appreciated stocks, you may also be able to avoid paying capital gains taxes on the donated shares.

• IRA contributions — Many people don’t contribute the maximum annual amount to their IRA (which, in 2014, is $5,500, or $6,500 if you’re 50 or older). While you can’t directly contribute to your valentine’s IRA, you can certainly write him or her a check for that purpose.

• Gifts of stock — Like everyone else, your sweetheart uses a variety of products — and he or she might enjoy being an “owner” of the companies that produce these goods. You can help make that happen through gifts of stock in these businesses. A financial advisor can help you through the straightforward process of buying stock and transferring it to another person.

• Debt payment — Consider volunteering to pay your valentine’s car payment, or credit card payment, for a month, and then encouraging him or her to put the savings to work in an investment. The fewer debts we have, the more we have to invest for our future.

• Life and disability insurance — Quite frankly, life insurance and disability insurance do not sound like the most romantic of Valentine’s Day presents. And yet, if your valentine is also your spouse, your purchase of life and disability insurance may actually be one of the most thoughtful gifts you can give. Of course, your employer may offer some life and disability insurance as employee benefits, but this coverage may be insufficient for your needs. After all, if something were to happen to you, your insurance may need to provide enough income to pay off your mortgage, send your children to college and perhaps even help pay for your spouse’s retirement. As for disability insurance, many employers’ plans are quite limited in what they provide, so you may need to supplement this coverage with a separate policy. And the possibility of incurring a disability, even for a short time, may be greater than you think. In fact, a 20-year-old worker has a three-in-10 chance of becoming disabled before reaching retirement age, according to the Social Security Administration.

As you can see, you can choose from a range of financial gifts to brighten Valentine’s Day for your loved one. So, consider the ones that make the most sense for your valentine and start “wrapping them up,” so to speak.

HONOLULU (AP) — There was something unusual about three mannequin heads found inside a UPS parcel being mailed from San Bernardino, Calif., to Hawaii: They each had two pounds of methamphetamine stuffed inside them, authorities said.

Now, three men in face drug charges in Hawaii.

One of the men, Anthony Buzio Sanchez, pleaded guilty in federal court in Honolulu on Monday to a charge of attempted possession with intent to distribute.

Through a Spanishspeaking interpreter, Sanchez said he intended to sell the drugs to pay for his father’s cancer treatment.

Sanchez, who said he was born in Mexico and is living in the United States illegally, faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in prison when he’s sentenced in June.

On May 6, a Riverside County Sheriff ’s deputy intercepted a cardboard box being mailed from San Bernardino to Honolulu, according to a criminal complaint.

Once a deputy sheriff got a California search warrant, investigators found inside shirts, shorts, slippers, towels and three boxes individually wrapped in pink and gold paper. The wrapped boxes “each contained a mannequin head with about two pounds of

methamphetamine inside, totaling 2,932 grams of methamphetamine,” the court document said.

After the drugs were discovered, the contents were mailed by FedEx to federal agents in Honolulu, where an undercover agent posing as a delivery man brought the parcel to the Honolulu address for which it was originally destined.

No one answered the door during two attempts to deliver the package. On the third attempt, a man identified in court papers as Carlos Gallego signed for the parcel.

On May 9, agents followed Gallego as he drove the box about 19 miles to a home in Waipahu, where the other men were arrested.

Sanchez, Gallego and Miguel Angel Rios Ruiz were indicted that month.

They initially pleaded not guilty to the methdistribution charge. Gallego was scheduled for a pretrial conference on Monday and his attorney didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Ruiz is scheduled to change his plea on Friday.

“He had nothing to do with this,” Sanchez said of Ruiz but didn’t elaborate.

Sanchez told the judge he paid Gallego $5,000 to receive the parcel and deliver it to the Waipahu home.

Gas: Getting community shelter

Chris Christie’s favor drops in poll

By DAVID LIGHTMAN MCT Washington

WASHINGTON — Dragged down by controversy, Chris Christie is falling far, far behind Hillary Clinton in a potential matchup for the 2016 presidential campaign, according to a new McClatchy-Marist Poll.

Christie still is neck and neck with several possible rivals in an early hypothetical matchup for the Republican presidential nomination. But general election voters are split almost evenly about whether he’s telling the truth about his role in the closing of a bridge in an act of political punishment. And his main claim to fame, that he alone among Republicans could compete against Clinton, has been seriously damaged.

Four weeks ago, he trailed her by 13 points in the poll, 50 percent to 37 percent. Today, he trails by 21 points, 58 percent to 37 percent, faring worse than any other Republican tested except Sarah Palin.

As Christie struggles, Clinton appears to have challenges as well, even as she tests well against the Republican field.

Her record as secre-

The Iola Register

tary of state — likely a central focus point for and against her candidacy — draws a mixed verdict from voters, with 51 percent ranking her record as excellent or good and 46 percent calling it fair or poor.

Personally, she draws a polarized reaction as well, viewed favorably by 52 percent of voters and unfavorably by 43 percent.

Still, Clinton is prospering when seen against a fractured, largely unknown field of possible Republican rivals.

“People are a long way from forming voting choices,” said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion in New York. “But right now, Clinton is having her way with the field.”

For months, the blunt, outspoken Christie was widely regarded as the Republican most likely to beat a Democrat in the 2016 presidential election.

In November, he won re-election to a second term as New Jersey governor by winning among constituencies that have been lukewarm to other Republicans in recent years, notably Hispanics and women.

Continued from A1

Then came the bridge scandal. Officials close to Christie were instrumental in closing some of the bridge lanes linking Fort Lee, N.J., to the George Washington Bridge in a payback aimed at a local mayor who refused to help Christie. Christie made a lengthy public apology, fired aides involved in the incident and said he was unaware of it.

The barrage of negative news has taken a toll. Last month, 46 percent of registered voters thought Christie was telling the truth,

while 32 percent did not. This month, 45 percent said he was being truthful, but 47 percent thought he was not.

Christie’s popularity nosedived. Last month, 29 percent viewed him favorably and 32 percent unfavorably. This month, the unfavorable number ballooned to 46 percent, while those seeing him favorably was roughly the same at 33 percent.

More ominous for Christie: The voters that made him such a threat to Democrats are souring on him.

earlier he thought with city labor the roof could be done for $70,000.

That’s the first consideration, said Councilman Mark Henry, getting the building up to snuff, how much that will cost and where the money will be found.

“Can we use it as is,” asked Jeanne McKarnin.

“The school district had kids there — as recently as a year ago — so isn’t it structurally sound?”

Until the roof is fixed, the kitchen can’t be remodeled and new appliances installed, was the opinion of Councilman Larry Robertson.

Turning to adjacent land, McKarnin proposed at least putting in a ball field, “so kids won’t have to go into Iola to practice.”

Schulenberg asked if City Hall might be moved to the school.

City Clerk Rhonda Hill said the present location was a little crowded, but that problem could be alleviated by having council meetings, elections and other events designated for a conference room in City Hall moved to the school.

“We’ve thought about

a library, a senior center and having (community) events in the old gym,” Henry added.

Hill said she would ask Gas residents through a community letter how they thought the building could best be used.

Meanwhile, council members will consider a rent agreement that would have users put down a $50 deposit and pay $50 for a single day’s use of the school.

“I think we will be able” to offer the building for rent in the two or three months, Robertson said.

From a pragmatic view, Councilwoman Jane Burns said, “We have to have a plan before we do anything.”

And that’s the way it was left.

HILL SAID she had detected little local interest to promote a community garden, which was mentioned when proponents of a county Food Policy Council visited with council members earlier.

Council members agreed to offer flu and pneumonia shots to employees, if their insurance doesn’t cover the inoculations.

service to these students,” Marshall said. “I want us to have the best program.”

JOHN Masterson, ACC president, spoke to trustees about a new legislative bill that could potentially affect the county. House Bill 2456 would allow all commercial and industrial machinery used directly in the manufacture of cement, lime or similar

products to be classified as tangible personal property for property tax purposes.

This bill was introduced by Ash Grove Cement, Chanute. Neosho County has projected a $7.5 million annual loss from this bill.

“What happens when the next industry does this, too,” Masterson asked.

Masterson wrote to the legislature and voiced his concerns. He is worried

this bill would reduce valuation in community college counties, putting a greater burden on property owners.

“There is a rush to cut taxes and someone is going to pay,” trustee Ken McGuffin said.

Landfill: Could be limited by bill Continued from A1

Today, Allen County’s landfill takes large amounts of trash from Anderson, Bourbon, Neosho and Wilson counties.

Smaller loads come from Cherokee, Crawford, Labette, Linn and Woodson counties. The outlying counties pay roughly $25 a ton. Commercial haulers in Allen County pay $9 a ton. Residents pay nothing.

King and Commissioner Dick Works, who was on board when the county decided to get into the landfill business in a big way in 1995, have written letters opposing the Senate bill.

Works gave a historical perspective, noting that Allen County opened its subtitle D facility after federal law forced closure of many local landfills — including Iola’s — and citizens were faced with being at the mercy of large national solid waste companies.

The cost-effective breakpoint for disposal of trash at Allen County’s landfill is 100 tons a day, Works continued, and to achieve that level solid waste from nearby counties is required. He also pointed out participating counties benefited from lower transportation costs.

“The citizens of Allen County have invested

their hard-earned money in their landfill the same way shareholders and private investors have invested in corporate landfills,” Works wrote.

“To enact rules that would impoverish our citizens while rewarding corporate investors would be unfair.”

King pointed out the landfill serves a twofold purpose.

In addition to being a repository for solid waste, it

1

is a utilitarian adjunct for the county’s quarry. After rock is removed the hole left is filled with waste, which is covered with soil and seeded down.

“That reclamation is much better than just having a gaping hole,” King said.

Quarry conversion to landfill was a strong motive in commissioners’ decision to develop the landfill in the first place.

Tipping fees — charges

made for disposal — have been sufficient to build reserves, which have funded major improvements at the landfill, including construction of the most recent million cell which cost $2 million.

King said annual expense of the landfill was about $1 million, with a combination of tipping fees and a half-cent sales tax — in place for years — generating a little more than that each year.

Opinion A5 The Iola Register

Wednesday, February 12, 2014

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Governmental bodies should encourage, not blunt, participation When an elected body meets, the proceedings are open to the public, with provision to be closed to discuss sensitive topics.

However, public meetings aren’t public forums.

No one attending to listen and observe has a right to speak. Most bodies have a mechanism to involve the public, by setting aside a time for public comment.

Rules affecting public meetings are in place not only to make what occurs transparent, but also to keep public participation from getting out of hand, even digressing into confrontations.

Everyone wins when all follow the rules.

MONDAY night members of the Crest Board of Education technically followed the rules, but drove a conspicuous nail in the coffin of public mistrust of government when one person was denied a chance to comment on termination of Brent Smith as football coach.

At the start, those in attendance were advised of a public comment period.

It was noted that each person so compelled could speak for five minutes and comment on a single topic would be limited to 20 minutes.

Smith, whose appearance was noted on the agenda, then spoke.

Afterward Cody Wools, a former player of Smith’s rose to speak, but was not permitted to do so. Seems the public comment period had passed when Smith took the podium.

While technically correct, the board’s decision was an affront to the spirit of open government. To be honest, it was downright rude.

In today’s political environment, government suffers enough blackeyes, without opening itself to criticism by hiding behind a ruse.

Boards of education — any public body — should bend over backward to involve their constituents, regardless of their motivation.

From all indications, the opening and closing of the public comment period wasn’t made clear to Wools, or to others attending the meeting, including a Register reporter.

No one would have suffered if Wools would have been permitted to give what surely was nothing more than a few words of support for his former coach.

In fact, his comments could have shed light on the subject. We’ll never know.

A look back in time 40 Years Ago Week of Feb. 9, 1974

Keith Locke and Clarence Hydorn, both licensed pilots, found a way to own an airplane on firemen’s salaries — they rebuilt an old 1946 Aeronca Chief which had been sitting lifeless for about 11 years, making it definitely not airworthy. Locke purchased the plane and last summer the two began refurbishing it to mint condition. The restored Aeronca Chief has passed an insideout inspection by the Federal Aviation Authority. Locke said that in addition to time saved, flying is now much more economical than driving. Their rebuilt plane gets the equivalent of 22 miles per gallon of aviation fuel.

Moreover, hundreds of miles can be saved in a year simply by traveling in a direct line. ***** City crewmen didn’t have a particularly easy time installing a spiral slippery slide in Riverside Park yesterday. The slide came in several pieces, which had to

be positioned just so before they could be secured with the numerous bolts needed to make the slide safe. Several new pieces of playground equipment have been placed in both Riverside and Meadowbrook parks thanks to the passage of the August 1972 recreation bond issue. ***** FEEM Products, Inc., owned by Wally Edwards and Pat Embree, located in the old Lehigh Plant, has been in production two years.

During that span it has increased employment from seven to 56. FEEM’s progress is a reflection of die-casting industry growth throughout the nation, Edwards feels.

FEEM, one of the few aluminum die-casting companies in this region, has just recently been awarded two contracts, both of which Edwards said can be categorized as million-dollar jobs.

One is for parts for Kirby vacuum cleaners and the other is with Hydreco Company, for which FEEM will cast hydraulic pump parts.

Legislators usurp gun control We would like to think rights guaranteed to U.S. citizens by the Constitution could be taken for granted. They can’t be, of course. Whether real or imagined, somebody or something always happens that prompts lawmakers to take action.

Take our Second Amendment right to bear arms. Last year, amidst the hysteria the federal government someday would attempt to keep a list of all gunowners, try to force background checks at gunshows or with online sales, or even confiscate all the weapons, legislators in Topeka went to work.

With Sen. Forrest Knox, RAltoona, leading the way, the Legislature passed the Second Amendment Protection Act. Knox said it was needed to protect the “constitutional guaranteed individual liberties” of law-abiding citizens.

The majority of lawmakers apparently decided there were a lot of liberties requiring protection. Among other things, the act allowed concealedcarry permit-holders the right to take their weapons inside most government buildings — unless the governmental body went to the incredible expense of ensuring nobody possibly could bring any weapons inside. The adequate measures included metal detectors and trained personnel guarding each entrance open to the public. If the city or county wasn’t willing to commit the dollars necessary, they’d simply have to allow concealed-carry weapons in their buildings.

The law also stated the federal government had no authority to regulate guns and ammunition made, sold and kept in Kansas. And then it banned federal agents from attempting to enforce any law covering those items.

House Bill 2473 would prevent cities and counties from imposing any more restrictions on firearm sales than are placed on “any other commercial goods,” such as a piece of gum.

Most likely, courts will find Kansas telling the United States how to conduct its business unconstitutional. Still, it’s the current law in the Sunflower State.

But legislators are not only worried about federal overreach. They’re worried about local overreach, as well.

Currently being heard in Topeka is House Bill 2473, which prohibits cities and counties from enacting or enforcing any ordinance “governing the purchase, transfer, ownership, storage, carrying or transporting of firearms or ammunition.”

How that reconciles with the options granted cities and counties just last year of deciding for themselves if they wanted concealed-carry weapons on their premises, we’re not sure.

HB 2473 goes even further. It would ban local governments from attempting to find out if any of their employees had concealed-carry permits. This would include law enforcement agencies.

The bill would prevent cities and counties from imposing any more restrictions on firearms sales than are placed on “any other commercial good.” For example, if a person isn’t forced to show identification or pass a background check to purchase a pack of gum, then such actions could not be imposed on somebody purchasing a handgun.

And, of course, knives get

the same types of protections as guns.

IN SHORT, the Kansas Legislature is saying nobody has any jurisdiction other than themselves when it comes to Second Amendment rights.

Neither the feds nor local governments can do anything Topeka does not allow. Our state lawmakers fancy themselves the ultimate authority on all things weapons related.

But are they really that smart? It is difficult to say.

Bogging down discussion last week was the possibility of an intoxicated individual not being able to shoot somebody if they felt threatened.

Fortunately, lawmakers are receiving sage counsel from the Kansas State Rifle Association.

Patricia Stoneking, president of the KSRA, offered: “You know, if I have two glasses of wine with my dinner, I’m fully capable of still defending myself.”

She was assured by a state attorney this would be allowed.

We’ll wait and see what the governor ultimately signs into law. We remain unconvinced state lawmakers are doing any real work in this arena other than pandering to the gun lobby. Such legislation could fail, and Kansans still would have the Bill of Rights guaranteeing them the right to bear arms. ­— Hays Daily News

Bedrock GOP principle gives way in debt ceiling vote WASHINGTON (AP) — It was once the backbone of the House Republican majority — the hard-line stand that brought President Barack Obama to the negotiating table and yielded more than $2 trillion in deficit reduction.

On Tuesday, it abruptly vanished, the victim of Republican disunity and a president determined not to bargain again.

During the summer budget negotiations in 2011, House Speaker John Boehner had insisted that any increase in the n a t i o n’s b o r rowing limit be matched John Boehner dollar for dollar with spending cuts. It became the “Boehner Rule,” a mantra of fiscal discipline.

And while it didn’t always live up to its titfor-tat formula, it helped drive budget talks and kept deficit reduction at the fore of the Republican agenda.

But there are limits to Republican power, and on Tuesday inevitability finally caught up to the speaker.

Boehner let Congress vote on a measure to extend the nation’s borrowing authority for 13 months without any spending conditions — a “clean bill” that was an unequivocal victory for Obama. It passed 221201, with only 28 Republican votes. The Senate still has to approve the

extension, but that’s considered a mere formality in the Democratic-controlled chamber.

Boehner’s retreat hardly came as a surprise.

Conservative lawmakers had failed to back a couple of proposed attachments aimed at Obama and his fellow Democrats. One would have approved the Keystone XL oil pipeline and the other would have repealed a provision of the health care law. Either of those faced unified Democratic opposition, so Boehner would have needed 218 Republican votes to pass it in the House. But conservatives were either determined to vote against the debt ceiling increase, no matter what, or found the provisions too small a price for their vote.

“When you don’t have 218 votes, you have nothing,” Boehner said.

Starting last year, Obama has steadfastly refused to negotiate over giving the Treasury Department the authority to borrow the money it needs to pay bills like Social Security benefits, payments on government debt and checks for federal workers.

For Boehner, however, not all was lost. He placed the burden of extending Treasury’s borrowing authority — not a politically popular vote — on the Democrats, and most members of his party got to vote no.

What’s more, the decision helped remove a potentially damaging diversion.

Republican allies in the business

When we heard that House leadership was scheduling a clean debt ceiling increase, we thought it was a joke. Something is very wrong with House leadership, or with the Republican Party.

— Andy Roth, Club for Growth

community have long pleaded with Republicans not to play brinkmanship with the nation’s credit. Last year’s threat of default, followed by a partial government shutdown over stalled budget talks, harmed Republicans in the eyes of the public.

Instead, Boehner and his leadership team have decided to keep the political focus on Obama’s health care law, which they have targeted as the Achilles’ heel for Democrats in this election year.

It was the second time in two weeks that Boehner swept away an issue that threatened to overshadow the GOP attention on health care.

He had outlined principles on how to achieve an overhaul of immigration law. But faced with a conservative outcry, Boehner last week deepsixed the issue, declaring that immigration legislation this year was a long shot.

“Boehner’s thinking here is we have to pick the smarter fight,” said Kevin Madden, a Republican strategist and former senior congressional leadership aide. “The smarter fight is Obam-

acare. If we get dragged into a protracted fight over the debt limit, like the one we saw over the government shutdown, it provides a distraction over the bigger issues the party can litigate.”

Conservative, tea party-aligned groups immediately objected to Boehner’s decision, calling it a capitulation and demanding that Republicans vote against the debt ceiling increase.

“When we heard that House leadership was scheduling a clean debt ceiling increase, we thought it was a joke,” Andy Roth of the conservative Club for Growth wrote in an email to congressional offices.

“Something is very wrong with House leadership, or with the Republican Party.”

But among lawmakers, the reaction was muted. When Boehner announced his decision

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Several plaintiffs have agreed to dismiss claims against 15 companies in a longstanding lawsuit involving allegations that U.S. oil companies and gasoline retailers overcharged consumers by selling “hot” fuel that contains less energy.

Federal officials earlier consolidated about 50 lawsuits filed since 2006 from consumers across the country in the U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Kan. The plaintiffs claimed customers were shortchanged when buying gasoline that is over 60 degrees. The volume of gasoline expands and consumers argue they are getting less than a gallon of fuel for a full gallon price.

Several larger retailers, including Costco, Wal-Mart and its Sam’s Club outlets, Valero, earlier reached settlements in their cases. But a federal jury in Kansas City, Kan., also ruled in favor of several companies in 2012.

in a private meeting with Republicans, one participant described the reaction as resigned silence. And during scheduled debate on the House floor, Rep. Dave Camp, the chairman of the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee, was the only Republican to speak, reluctantly giving his support for allowing Treasury to borrow more money.

“While I believe that we must increase our debt limit, I’m clearly not satisfied that there are no provisions that would help us address the long-term drivers of this debt,” he said, before becoming one of the 28 Republicans who voted for the measure.

This all could change if Republicans win control of the Senate in November. Republicans would then control Congress and Obama might have little recourse but to accept some Republican demands.

A Republican victory in the fall, Madden said, would mean “the most recent electoral mandate would be favorable to the Republican bargaining position.”

Boehner, for one, was not giving up. Asked if the “Boehner Rule” was dead, he said, “I hope not.”

Fillies stay perfect in Pioneer League play

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

First the bad news: Iola High’s girls scuffled most of the evening on offense.

Iola shot a cool 38 percent from the field, 54 percent from the line and had nearly as many personal fouls (17) as field goals (18). Heck, the Fillies only had four points at the end of the first quarter.

But here’s the good news: While Iola’s offense was stuck in neutral, its defense was downright stifling.

Even with the Fillies’ cool start, they never trailed, limiting Osawatomie to three firstquarter points.

And finally, the better news: Iola’s offense finally began to click in the second period, thanks to multiple transition opportunities, and the Fillies put together a 20-3 run to take control of a 44-22 victory.

The win keeps Iola perfect in Pioneer League play at 5-0, while pushing the Fillies to 8-6 overall.

“Our effort was there on offense, but we just couldn’t find our focus and finish,” Fillies head coach Becky Carlson said. “But we played great defense all night.”

Emery Driskel started the game-clinching run with five points in the first three min-

Iola High’s Ashlie Shields (20) and Toni Macha (25) scramble for a loose ball with Osawatomie’s Taryn McReynolds (33) Tuesday. The Fillies took control with a 20-3 second-quarter run to roll to a 44-22 victory. REGISTER/RICHARD LUKEN utes of the second period.

Emma Piazza’s steal and layup was next, followed by a bucket

by Addie Haar. Suddenly a 6-5 lead was 13-5.

Ashlie Shields came off the bench to put the finishing touches on the outburst with a

jumper, a layup and a 3-pointer with 21 seconds left in the half to put the Fillies up, 24-6.

The Trojans got no closer than 15 points in the second half. Hannah Endicott scored both of her field goals early in the fourth quarter as Iola’s

lead ballooned past 20.

“Even though we were struggling on offense, I didn’t see any signs of frustration,” Carlson said. “We continued to work for good shots.

“I thought Ashlie Shields hit some big shots, and Jo did

a great job. Addie and Emery both provided a bunch of energy underneath. The main thing about this team is that if somebody’s having an off night, we’ve got somebody See FILLIES | Page B4

Late struggles do in Mustangs Shockers continue

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

Iola High’s Fryendz Wallace (13) goes up for a shot while being defended by Osawatomie’s Riley England in the Mustangs’ 44-35 loss. REGISTER/RICHARD LUKEN

Iola High’s offense hit the skids at the worst possible time Tuesday evening.

After erasing a seven-point deficit to tie visiting Osawatomie to start the fourth quarter, the Mustangs were plagued with bad luck, bad shooting and some plain ole bad decisions.

Osawatomie closed the game with a 13-4 run to pull away down the stretch in a 4435 win.

The loss drops Iola to 7-7 overall and 3-2 in Pioneer League action, 2 1/2 games behind Osawatomie, which remains perfect at 6-0.

“We made things tough on ourselves,” Iola head coach Bill Peeper said. “We had way too many mental errors, and poor shot selection killed us.”

To wit: Iola’s top four guards combined for one assist on the night.

“We didn’t do a good job of helping ourselves be successful,” he said. “We had too many opportunities where we’d try to force a 1-on-3 fast break.”

Most of those opportunities were either blocked by Osawatomie’s imposing front line, or altered enough that they would bounce harmlessly off the rim.

But even then, Iola still had its chances.

The game was nip and tuck through the first half before Osawatomie’s 8-0 run gave the Trojans a 29-22 lead at the 5:22 mark of the third quarter. TySee MUSTANGS | Page B4

record-breaking roll

By DAVE SKRETTA The Associated Press

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Wichita State funneled into the locker room for some sage advice from coach Gregg Marshall, and wound up getting a little wisdom from Emmy Award-winner Kirstie Alley instead.

“She said to the guys, ‘Don’t read the reviews, the positive ones and the negative ones. Just play the game,’” Marshall said after a 78-67 victory over Southern Illinois that ran the No. 4 Shockers’ record to 26-0.

“So you’re getting it from a Hollywood star.”

The reviews of this one aren’t going to be very positive.

The Shockers threw the ball away at an uncharacteristic rate. They shot poorly from the perimeter, struggled to defend Salukis star Anthony Beane and found themselves in a fourpoint hole with very little

going right in the early minutes of the second half.

But behind 19 points from Ron Baker and 18 from Cleanthony Early, the Shockers (13-0 Missouri Valley Conference) still managed to put Southern Illinois away, becoming the first team since Memphis in 2008 to start 26-0. All that stands in the way of becoming the first team since Saint Joseph’s in 2004 to have a perfect regular season are five more games.

“It’s cool, you know?”

Early said. “But we take it game by game, day by day.

I don’t think we’re looking at an undefeated season because you have to beat the team that’s in front of you.”

Beane scored 25 points for the Salukis (10-16, 6-7), getting to the rim at will until late in the game, when the Shockers finally started to double- and triple-team him.

Cubs get back on track NEODESHA — Humboldt High’s boys took the same types of shots they couldn’t get to fall four nights earlier in an exasperating loss to Caney Valley.

But this time they did.

Humboldt shot 51 percent from the field and even better from 3-point range, rolling to a 75-38 win over host Neodesha.

The win lifts Humboldt’s record to 13-2 on the season.

Cub head coach David Taylor noted Neodesha deployed a zone defense, much like Caney Valley had done Friday.

“We were a little tentative on offense at first, but we were able to get out in

transition and attack a little better,” Taylor said. “And we defended well.”

The Cubs broke open a 1411 lead with a 26-12 run spanning the second quarter. The lead ballooned to 63-34 by the end of the third period.

“We hit the final bucket right before the end of the first three quarters,” Taylor noted. “I think it was a little deflating for the other team.”

Six Humboldt players scored at least seven points in the win, led by Hunter Murrow with 17 points and four steals and Kason Siemens with 12 points and four assists. Justin Meins See CUBS | Page B3

Shirley Temple Black

Iconic child star, 85, dies

By VALERIE NELSON Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Shirley Temple Black, who as the most popular child movie star of all time lifted a filmgoing nation’s spirits during the Depression and then grew up to be a diplomat, has died. She was 85.

Black died late Monday at her home in the San Francisco suburb of Woodside, according to publicist Cheryl J. Kagan. No cause was given.

From 1935 through 1938, the curly-haired moppet billed as Shirley Temple was the top box-office draw in the nation. She saved what became 20th Century Fox studios from bankruptcy and made more than 40 movies before she turned 12.

Politics consumed much of her adult life after she married businessman Charlie Black in 1950 and was known as Shirley Temple Black.

An active Republican, she ran unsuccessfully for Congress in 1967.

Two years later, she was appointed the U.S. delegate to the United Nations by President Richard Nixon.

From 1974 to 1976, Temple was the U.S. ambassador to the West African nation of Ghana and later served as White House chief of protocol for President Gerald Ford. She also was an ambassador to Czechoslovakia from 1989 to 1992, a “substantive job” that was the best she ever held, Temple told The Washington Post in 1998.

Initially short on diplomatic experience, she got an assist from her childhood. People on the street in Prague would often stop her and pull a memento from their wallets — their membership card from Czechoslovakia’s 1930s-era Shirley Temple fan club.

The money she made as a child had long since evaporated.

At 22, she discovered that all but $28,000 of her $3.2 million income from the movies had vanished because of her family’s lavish lifestyle and bad investments made by her father, George Temple, a bank manager who left his job to oversee her career.

She “felt neither disappointment nor anger,” Temple wrote in her 1988 autobiography.

“Perhaps years spent ignoring such matters had insulated me from disillusion,” she said.

THE BOLLINGS: MITCH, SHARON & CARA

YATES CENTER — The Yates Center Wildcats were challenged with a different sort of matchup Tuesday evening against the Eureka Tornadoes, and it’s the little things that made the difference.

In a low-scoring matchup wrought with fouls and missed shots, the Lady Wildcats overcame a deficit to down Eureka 31-28.

Those “little things” turned out to big things in the end.

The Wildcats had only one point on their opponent with two minutes remaining, and a foul brought Mindi Holloway to the line. Holloway was held silent after a pair of early three pointers in the first quarter due to foul trouble.

Holloway drained four consecutive free throws on two appearances at the line to put the lead out of reach for Eureka.

“This is my first year, but according to the girls this is the first time we haven’t taken Eureka into overtime in a while,” Assistant Coach Jennie Davis said following the game.

Competition was intense from the get-go.

The Tornadoes opened with a 4-0 lead before the Wildcats ended the quarter with an 8-0 spurt.

Holloway — generally the lead scorer for the Wildcats — had three fouls in the beginning of second with six points.

She would sit for the majority of the game. The lack of lead scorers was evident. The halftime score was 12-11 with Eureka in the lead.

“I was proud of the girls that they kept fighting,” Davis said.

The Wildcats kept their head above water to be in the lead, 20-19, going into the fourth.

Holloway led for Yates Center with 10, followed

by Shayne Karmann with eight and Aubrey Smith with seven.

The Wildcats travel to Caney Valley Friday.

NEODESHA — A halftime deficit didn’t matter much to Humboldt High’s girls Tuesday evening.

“We were down, but the girls just decided they were going to take the win, and they worked their tails off to do so,” Lady Cub head coach Sherri Nelson said.

A balanced scoring

attack paced Humboldt in a 60-51 victory.

Four Lady Cub players scored at least nine points in the win.

Leading the way was Tilar Wells with 14 points, five rebounds, four steals and three assists. Kayle Riebel followed with 13 points, six rebounds and two steals. Lakota Wilson also reached double

Wildcat girls fall on road at Northeast ARMA — An offensive night as cold as the weather did in Marmaton Valley High’s girls Tuesday.

The Wildcats had only seven points by halftime of a 53-23 loss to host Northeast-Arma.

Kaitlin Ensminger scored eight, while Ashlynn Pinkerton scored six and Emily Meiwes five for Marmaton Valley. Misty Storrer and

Brooklyn Newman had two apiece.

Northeast led 15-5 after one quarter, 29-7 at halftime and 47-16 by the end of the third period.

Kaylee Bogina scored 17 for the Vikings.

Marmaton Valley hosts Altoona-Midway Thursday before traveling to Southern Coffey County on Friday.

Olpe firepower too much for Crest girls COLONY — Olpe High started out on a high note, outscoring the Crest High Lady Lancers 20-10 to start their contest Tuesday.

The visiting Eagles were just getting started. Olpe outscored Crest 28-4 in the second quarter, 23-8 in the third and 14-4 in the fourth of an 86-26 romp.

Scoring for Crest were Karlee Hammond with 10 points, Laurel Godderz with six,

Miranda Golden and Emmalee Seabolt with four each and Taryn Covey with two.

The game starts a busy week for the Lady Lancers, courtesy of a pair of earlier weatherprompted postponements, with five games in eight days. Crest hosts Southern Coffey County on Thursday, Marmaton Valley on Friday before traveling to Uniontown Monday and Lebo next Tuesday.

Royals, Holland agree to contract KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Royals and All-Star closer Greg Holland agreed on a $4.675 million contract today, which means all of Kansas City’s arbitration-eligible players are signed ahead of spring training.

Holland asked for $5.2 million after going 2-1 with a 1.21 ERA and 47 saves last season, while

ler Powelson scored for Iola, then fed teammate Alex Peterson for another score to cut the deficit to three. Powelson’s free throws with 1:05 pulled the Mustangs to within 29-28.

Adam Kauth’s 3-point play capped the 9-2 Iola run to knot the score at 31-31.

That’s when things went south. Morgan Soucie — the 6-4 thorn in Iola’s side all night — outscored Iola by himself, 8 to 7, in the fourth quarter.

Tyler McIntosh scored on a driving layup to cut Osawatomie’s lead to 38-35 with 3:16 remaining.

Iola got no closer. The Mustangs missed their final seven field goal attempts.

“We knew what we needed to do,” Peeper said. “We knew how to do it. We just didn’t execute, which you can’t do against a good team like Osawatomie. This puts us in a position that we’re probably not going to be able to challenge for a league title.”

Defensive rebounding also proved troublesome. Peeper estimated 10 of Soucie’s gamehigh 23 points came on offensive rebounds and putbacks.

Powelson’s 10 points, seven rebounds and three steals led the way for the Mustangs.

Kauth followed with seven points, six rebounds and two assists.

Fryendz Wallace added three steals and two assists.

Tuesday’s game — which marked Iola’s homecoming after it was twice postponed because of snow — was just the third home game overall for the Mustangs.

“But there are still a lot of goals out there,” Peeper said. “We’ve got a lot of things we want to achieve.”

Ex-boyfriend’s parents become intrusive Dear Carolyn: “Ex” and I dated on and off for years, which ended years ago. It was not a healthy relationship. I am two years into a much healthier and happier relationship.

The problem is that Ex’s parents want to visit me and insist on coming to my home that I share with my current partner.

Ex’s parents were always very kind to me, but I just want to be done with that very sad chapter of my life. As an introvert, I

Tell Me About It Carolyn Hax find it very invasive that they would invite themselves to my home, especially since they know I am seriously involved with someone else.

The last time they invited themselves over, a couple of years ago, Ex

basically told me I’m a horrible person for not wanting to hang with Ex’s parents, which made me feel guilty enough to meet with them. I don’t want this to continue.

Is there a kind/ethical way to give them the brush? I don’t want to be a jerk. — Anonymous Unhealthy apple, unhealthy tree. Their “insist[ing] on coming to my home” is inappropriate, and that’s your permission not to worry one bit whether you’d “be a

jerk” to say no to them.

If you did want to see them, then all you’d need to say is that X is an excellent restaurant/coffee shop and you’ll meet them there Thursday at 7.

To pull the plug entirely, merely say that you have always appreciated their kindness, but that reminders of this part of your past are painful for you and you hope they’ll understand why you’re choosing to decline their invitation.

Canada tops USA women SOCHI, Russia (AP) — Megan Agosta scored twice and assisted on Hayley Wickenheiser’s goal to lead Canada to a 3-2 victory over the United States today in a tense preview of the expected gold medal match.

Agosta scored in the second period to tie the game 1-1 and then Canada added the go-ahead goal 93 seconds later on a shot that U.S. goalie Jesse Vetter seemed to have stopped, drawing a whistle from referee Anna Eskola of Finland.

But the puck trickled through Vetter’s pads and over the goal line.

Video — and presumably audio — review confirmed the puck went into the net before the whistle.

Charline Labonte made 25 saves for Canada.

Hilary Knight scored and Vetter stopped 28 shots for the United States.

Down 3-1, the Americans pulled the goalie with more than two minutes left and cut the deficit to one on Anne Schleper’s goal. A penalty for too many players

on the ice with 31 seconds left gave the Americans a 66-on-4 advantage, but a final flurry couldn’t bring them the tying goal.

Both teams had already clinched spots in the semifinals, but Canada enters the playoffs as the top seed.

It’s the fifth time the teams have met in the Olympics, but the first since women’s hockey was added to the Winter Games in 1998 that they have played in the preliminary round. The Americans beat Canada twice that year — including the gold medal game — but it’s been Canada ever since, at least in the Olympics.

In addition to leading their southern neighbors 3-1 in Olympic gold medals, Canada has 10 world championships to five for the United States. No other country has won one.

The Americans have won five of the last seven, though, including last year’s in Ottawa. In a pre-Olympic tuneup tour, the Canadians won three straight but then lost four in a row in the

turmoil following coach Dan Church’s surprise December resignation.

He was replaced by former NHL player and coach Kevin Dineen.

Through all of the winning and losing streaks, the teams have remained equal. And that’s the way they played it for the first 37 minutes, with the goalies withstanding rush after rush to keep their shutouts intact.

The fans shouted dueling chants of “Ca-nada!” and “U-S-A!” And none of the players on the bench sat down, either standing to cheer on their teammates or leaning over the boards.

The United States finally scored when Schleper’s wrist shot was tipped by Knight into the net. But Canada tied it with a power-play goal of its own, making it 1-1 in the third period when Agosta parked on the right side of the net and waited for the pass from Wickenheiser.

The Canadians celebrated a second goal just 93 seconds later, then Agosta scored on a breakaway to make it 3-1.

Shockers: Win to move to 26-0 Continued from B1

Desmar Jackson and Jalen Pendleton added 13 points as Southern Illinois had its first fourgame winning streak in more than four years come to a crashing end.

Salukis coach Barry Hinson said the crowd, raucous throughout, was a big factor.

“Kudos to them, seriously,” he said of another sellout at Koch Arena in Alley’s hometown.

“High-five to 10,505 — and Kirstie Alley, because I love her. I think she’s great.”

The Shockers trailed at halftime for the ninth time during their unbeaten run, though the 33-32 deficit could have been a whole lot worse the way they were shooting the ball.

Wichita State was just 2 of 14 from 3-point range in the first half, most of them missing just about everything. In fact, the only shots the Shockers seemed to make outside of 3 feet were a series of free throws that Early made to keep them within striking distance.

It didn’t help that the Shockers were in foul trouble, too. Baker, Early and Fred VanVleet — their top three scorers — were on the bench with

two fouls apiece late in the half.

Once they returned after the break, the Shockers started to pick up steam.

Early converted a three-point play with 15:47 to put them ahead 44-43, the seventh lead change in the game. Baker added a silky-smooth jumper, then knocked down his first 3 moments later as Wichita State took control and Koch Arena suddenly got rocking.

Beane refused to let the Salukis wilt under the pressure.

The sophomore guard kept slicing through Wichita State’s man-toman defense for baskets near the rim, more than once drawing contact along the way. When the Shockers finally clamped down on him, he deftly found the open teammate for wide-open looks.

Pendleton’s threepoint play pulled the Salukis to 69-64 with 2 1/2 minutes left, but Baker answered with his third 3-pointer at the other end. The Shockers turned up the pressure and forced Sean O’Brien into a turnover, and that led to a run-out by Baker, who was fouled and

calmly made both free throws.

Still with a chance to make it a game, Southern Illinois promptly turned it over again, and this time the Salukis allowed VanVleet to go for an uncontested layup that made it 76-64.

“There’s a reason they’re 26-0. They’re damn good!” Hinson said. “But they made shots and that crowd just went nuts, and we came down and said, ‘Hey, it’s close to April 15. We’ll just give you the ball and we’ll get a tax deduction!’”

Wichita State merely had to coax the final seconds off the clock to wrap up the win.

“Just survive,” Marshall said. “That was not our best effort, obviously. They get a lot of credit for that. They had a great game plan. They packed it in and we didn’t make any shots from the arc.

It was a good strategy.

Finally we made some in the second half and pulled away slowly, but give them credit. They played well.”
