Hospital transition a ‘juggling act’

By SUSAN LYNN susan@iolaregister.com

The mood among hospital employees is “happy, but stressed,” said Larry Peterson at Tuesday night’s meeting of hospital trustees.

“It’s a beautiful facility, but there’s so much work to do,” Peterson said of transition to the new hospital in less than a month.

Peterson is chief financial officer of the hospital.

The countdown is 21 days before the doors open to the new Allen County Regional Hospital.

Administrators refer to the transition as being a “juggling act,” to keep systems functioning at the current hospital and yet starting up at the new.

Big and little items are being placed in the new hospital, from tea and coffee dispensers to the impressive headwall systems installed See TRANSITION | Page A6

Gas council adds RV spaces

By BOB JOHNSON bob@iolaregister.com

GAS — Gas council members plan to spend part of an upcoming meeting walking through the old Gas school to decide how it best may be used as a community center.

About two tons of trash were hauled from the building, which has made it presentable, said Steve Robb, city superintendent, at Tuesday night’s council meeting.

Mayor Darrel Catron encouraged members to think of possible uses for the building.

Gas purchased the structure, built in the 1960s, from USD 257 for a token sum of $1 after it was abandoned as an alternative school for high school seniors. That component of

A RIDE TO REMEMBER

By STEVEN SCHWARTZ steven@iolaregister.com

Frank Fuller, a retired John Deere dealer, gave Age to Age Preschool students a ride to remember Tuesday afternoon at Windsor Place.

The students lined up to ride in a brand new John Deere tractor, and even drive the machine themselves — with Fuller’s hand on the controls, of course.

“I’ll have more fun than the students will,” Fuller joked on Tuesday afternoon.

The clear fall skies offered a perfect setting for the pre-schoolers to take a spin around the field east of Windsor Place.

This is the second year Fuller has had the chance to bring a tractor out to the preschool.

Quote of the day Vol. 115, No. 244

Joelle Shallah, owner of Bella Donna Salon on North Jefferson Street, is raising awareness for breast cancer and showing “support” — by hanging it in a tree.

Shallah has been raising funds for the Kappa Alpha Chapter of the Phi Tau Omega sorority for more than five years. Last year was the first year she started her “bra tree” fundraiser. For $5, and a bra, people can hang their lingerie in the tree. All of the money stays local.

“I like to keep everything here,” Shallah said. “Instead of sending it out nationally.”

The small tree is quite a spectacle for passers-by.

Shallah said she has known several women affected by breast cancer, and she will See TREE | Page A5

Refrain from rinsing raw poultry

By KIRSTEN PETERS

Cooking is part necessity, but it’s also partly cultural. The way we cook says a lot about the societies we live in and the traditions that influence our families.

I know that a lot of what I do in the kitchen is an echo of what my mother taught me.

When I crack an egg into a mixing bowl, I scoop out that last little bit of raw egg white in the shell with my finger and scrape it off on the edge of the bowl. My mother grew up in the Great Depression and learned not to waste food. Some of her habits have been passed down to me even though I grew up a full generation later in relatively easy circumstances.

When I start to cook a chicken or turkey, I also do what my mother showed me. Step One for me is cutting open the plastic wrap the bird comes in and discarding it. Step Two is to reach inside the cav-

ity of the fowl to remove the package of giblets.

(I cook those pieces in a saucepan with a bit of water as a treat for my faithful mutt, Buster Brown, who deserves a bit of payback because he keeps me company in the kitchen while I labor there.) Finally, in Step Three, I hold the bird over the kitchen

If confirmed by the Senate, Yellen would be the first woman to head any country’s major central bank anywhere in the world. She also would be the first Democrat chosen to lead the Fed since Paul Volcker was picked by President Jimmy Carter in 1979.

A close ally of the chairman, Yellen has been a key architect of the Fed’s efforts under Bernanke to keep interest rates near record lows to support the economy, and she likely would continue steering Fed policy in the same direction as Bernanke.

Congratulations from

The contaminants that arrive with poultry into our kitchen can be serious business. A microorganism called Campylobacter and our old friend salmonella combine to cause close to 2 million cases of foodborne illness in the U.S. each year. The way to reduce the threat they pose is not by rinsing raw poultry, but by thoroughly cooking the

birds you prepare.

Yet many of us continue to rinse. In fact, according to the NPR piece, about 90 percent of cooks rinse raw poultry. We do it because our mothers taught us the technique, not because we’ve really thought about it. And rinsing is reinforced by some cookbooks and by reruns of Julia Child, the famous “French Chef ” of public television who rinsed her birds as we all watched.

Habits can be tough to change. But now is the time to stop rinsing your chickens and turkeys. Just thoroughly cook your birds. It’s easier than rinsing, and safer as well.

Financial Focus Harvest Season Offers Lessons to Investors It’s harvest time again. Of course, harvest season may not mean that much to you if you don’t work in agriculture.

Nonetheless, you can learn a lot from those who do — especially in your role as an investor.

Here are a few of these lessons to consider: • “Feed” your portfolio. Through the proper combination of fertilizers and irrigation, farmers seek to maximize the growth of their crops. And if you want to give your portfolio the opportunity to grow, you need to “feed” it with the right mix of investments. This generally means you’ll need to own a reasonable percentage of growthoriented vehicles, such as stocks and stock-based securities. Keep in mind, though, that the value of these types of investments will fluctuate, sometimes sharply — and there’s no guarantee you won’t lose some or all of your principal.

• Be patient. Crops don’t grow overnight. Farmers know that they will put in countless hours of work before they see the fruits of their labors. And they know that, along the way, they will likely experience setbacks caused by a variety of issues: too much rain, too little rain, insect infestations — the list goes on and on. When you invest, you shouldn’t expect to “get rich quick” — and you can expect to experience obstacles in the form of bear markets, economic downturns, changes in legislation and so forth. Continuing to invest for the long term and focusing more on long-term results than short-term success can help you as you work toward your objectives.

• Respond to your investment “climate.” Farmers can’t control the weather, but they can respond to it. So, for example, when it’s been dry for a long time, they can boost their irrigation. As an investor, you can’t control the economic “climate,” but you can make adjustments. To illustrate: If all signs point to rising long-term interest rates, which typically have a negative effect on long-term bond prices, you may need to consider reducing your exposure, at least for a while, to these bonds.

• Diversify. Farmers face a variety of risks, including bad weather and fluctuating prices. They can help combat both threats through diversification. For instance, they can plant some crops that are more drought-resistant than others, so they won’t face complete ruin when the rains don’t fall. As an investor, you should also diversify; if you only owned one type of financial asset, and that asset class took a big hit, you could sustain large losses. But spreading your dollars among an array of investments — such as stocks, bonds, cash and other vehicles — may help reduce the effects of volatility on your portfolio. (Be aware, though, that diversification by itself can’t guarantee a profit or protect against loss.)

Relatively few of us toil in the fields to make our living. But by understanding the challenges of those who farm the land, we can learn some techniques that may help us to nurture our investments.

But In ruling against the state early this year, a three-judge panel in Shawnee County District Court noted that as the state’s economy improved, the Repub-

stitutional authority to step in again and tell lawmakers how much must be spent on public schools. And, he argued, such increases in funding aren’t sustainable.

They took all the resources out of the system and then stand here and plead that they can’t afford to increase funding to schools. That’s the problem that we’re dealing with here. — Alan Rupe, Wichita attorney

lican-controlled Legislature approved massive personal income tax cuts. GOP Gov. Sam Brownback pushed for those tax reductions to stimulate the economy, but critics have said they’ll starve state government of funds. “They took all the resources out of the system and then stand here and plead that they can’t afford to increase funding to schools,� said Alan Rupe, a Wichita attorney representing the students and school districts. “That’s the problem that we’re dealing with here.�

A SUPREME Court decision is anticipated by early January 2014.

The court is hearing its second round of litigation in less than a decade, with the 2010 lawsuit following up on one filed in 1999.

A state law enacted in 2006 set the state’s base funding for public schools at $4,492 per student, but the current base state funding is $3,838 per student, or nearly 15 percent less.

However, Kansas allocated about $3 billion for public schools this fiscal year.

State Solicitor General Stephen McAllister argued that the Supreme Court would be overstepping its con-

“The Legislature has to deal with the real world,� McAllister said. “The constitution shouldn’t be a suicide pact.�

But Justices Eric Rosen and Lee Johnson said the court signed off on the 2006 law — and ended the previous lawsuit — based on promises that funding would increase. “It stands before me, in my eyes, as a broken promise,� Rosen told McAllister.

When McAllister told the justices that legislators had to react to economic realities when making budget decisions, Johnson told him, “This is different.�

Justice Dan Biles, who represented the State Board of Education before his appointment to the court, said legislators have described education as the state’s top priority. “Why don’t we just hold the Legislature to what they said?� Biles said.

But Biles also questioned whether the attorneys who sued the state presented enough evidence during the lower court trial about how individual students were harmed specifically.

Rupe said Kansas courts haven’t required such detailed evidence in the past.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Wednesday, October 9, 2013

Keeping Kansans in the dark won’t make care act go away Kansans are at a distinct disadvantage regarding the Affordable Care Act because the state is doing nothing to inform citizens of its implementation on the new health care exchanges.

So instead of promoting a plan that helps the citizenry, the Brownback administration is sitting on its hands for the sole reason it hopes it fails.

The saying, “cutting off one’s nose to spite the face,” comes to mind to describe a needlessly self-destructive reaction to the situation at hand.

The biggest problem of not adequately informing Kansans of the new law is the lost opportunity for thousands to get health insurance — for many, the first opportunity in their adult lives.

Many states have invested in promoting the new laws, some with catchy names: Covered California, MNsure for Minnesota, Connect for Health Colorado, and my favorite, Kentucky’s Kynect.

THE HEALTH care act

has Republicans all in a tizzy, demanding its funding be taken away before they will vote to fund the federal government.

If the ACA were to be stopped in its tracks, here are only a few of the servic-

es Americans have grown to love that would be halted: * Medicare wellness visits; * Discounts on prescription drugs as provided through the Medicare Part D program; * The pre-existing condition insurance plan begun under the ACA that allows those with chronic conditions to receive health insurance; * Coverage for children up to age 26; and, * The loan repayment program for students attending medical school in return for them practicing in communities similar to Iola and other medically underserved communities.

SANDY PRAEGER, Kansas insurance commissioner, is the lone state official promoting the new health care act. Since mid-September she has been traveling the state explaining the online insurance marketplaces where individuals and businesses sign up to purchase insurance.

Praeger maintains the new law doesn’t make any significant changes to those who have health insurance, but will make a world of difference for those who have never enjoyed its privileges.

It’s a secret we all should be let in on.

A look back in time

40 Years Ago Week of Oct. 6, 1973

The Iola Ministerial Association has approved a program designating the first Sunday of each month as “Community Pantry Sunday.” The Rev. Donald F. Hood, president of the association, has asked each church member to bring gifts of staple food items to his or her church this Sunday. The contributions will be taken to the SEK-CAP office where they will be issued to families on an emergency basis. This program has

been tried before by the Allen County Community Action Program, but supplies could not keep up with the demand, Mr. Hood remarked.

“The ministerial association felt the church people of Iola would like to help,” he said. ***** Last night 2.62 inches of rain fell on Iola, making the total 54.63 inches for 1973, and raising 1973 to the third wettest year since the turn of the century. The precipitation last night left Iola with an excess of 22.71 inches through today.

Divisions run deeper in Congress Emboldened Republicans defy Washington’s norms

By LISA MASCARO and MICAHEL MEMOLI Tribune Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON — One is a former Texas talk-radio host who had never held public office until he won a seat in Congress in the 2010 tea party wave.

Another is an MIT-educated inventor who has all but shelved his scientific pursuits to reinvent government.

Others are back-bench, right-wing lawmakers who have served in Congress for years, but suddenly find their once far-afield views have more currency within their party.

These are the House Republicans who have convinced Speaker John A. Boehner, ROhio, to use the federal shutdown and a possible debt default as leverage to reduce the reach of government.

They are not just tea party members, but a combination of newcomers and veterans who, by sheer force of their personalities, and emboldened by safe conservative districts, have chosen to defy Washington’s traditional norms of conversation and compromise.

They could be called the Chick-fil-A Caucus, after the monthly hearings convened by some conservative leaders, shadow government-style, in ornate committee chambers where they proudly serve sandwiches from the company made politically famous by the owner’s opposition to same-sex marriage.

Their fierce commitment and the intense support of their outspoken constituents to slash spending and halt President Barack Obama’s health care law almost guarantees there will be no speedy resolution to the standoff that has forced parts of the federal government to close.

Now in its second week, the shutdown that started as an attempt to end Obamacare has shifted into a Republicanled battle to cut spending. The legislative context has shifted too, with the focus now on a vote that will be needed by Oct. 17 to raise the nation’s debt limit. Failure to lift it, economists warn, could risk catastrophic default.

“Most of the messages I’m getting from Texas are: ‘Hang on, you’re doing the right thing,’ “ said Rep. Blake Farenthold, R-Texas, the attorneyturned-radio-host who pushed out a 14-term Democrat.

“We are not a bunch of hardheaded fools,” added

Farenthold, a friendly, robust man with a bushy mop of dark hair. His goal is not to “kick and scream,” he said, but to “get the economy fixed.”

The Corpus Christi-area congressman acknowledged that some of the callers to his office, especially those from outside his state, are not so supportive.

“We’ve had the F-word dropped,” he said.

The hard line from the Republican flank can be traced, in part, to new members who have little regard for the topdown leadership that has characterized the House in the past.

Roughly half of the 232 House Republicans were elected in the last two elections, many with little or no legislative experience. Before winning seats, these Republicans who became congressmen included farmers, a car dealer, a funeral home director and a champion lumberjack.

New district boundaries and the increased tendency of Americans to cluster in likeminded communities have created what some political scientists say is the most polarized Congress since the late 19th century. Republicans are far more Republican; Democrats are more Democratic.

To explain why he was leading efforts to block a government-funding bill that did not take action against Obamacare, Thomas Massie, the boyish-looking inventor and freshman lawmaker from Kentucky, had a simple answer: His constituents want him to.

“For 10 weeks, I’ve been saying to everybody that calls my office, and I have thousands

of calls, I will not vote for a CR that funds Obamacare,” Massie said, using legislative jargon for a “continuing resolution,” as the money bills are known.

With promises like those, lawmakers have little room to stray politically.

On Monday, both sides in the stalemate held firm.

House Republicans, with some help from Democrats, approved the latest in a series of bills to reopen parts of government, this time the Food and Drug Administration. The Democratic-controlled Senate has no immediate plans to take up any of those bills; its leaders insist that the government should be reopened in whole.

White House aides indicated that Obama was willing to negotiate on spending, and even on some aspects of the Affordable Care Act, but only once the threat of a debt default is lifted.

Obama visited the Federal Emergency Management Agency, where he disputed Boehner’s assessment that a no-strings-attached bill to fund the government would fail in the House.

“Just vote,” Obama said.

“Let every member of Congress vote their conscience, and they can determine whether or not they want to shut the government down.”

The opposition from Republican lawmakers like Farenthold and Massie explains why Boehner has so far refused to allow any such measure to come to a vote. A move to allow that would cause a revolt among conservatives that could further splinter the GOP majority.

Three share Nobel Prize in medicine

By LISA M. KRIEGER San Jose Mercury News

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Longtime rivals Stanford and the University of California, Berkeley are sharing the glory of the world’s grandest prize, earned for their discoveries about life’s smallest package.

For solving the mystery of the cell’s inner transit system, scientists Thomas Sudhof of Stanford and Randy Schekman of UC Berkeley were awarded the 2013 Nobel Prize in Medicine on Monday, along with James Rothman from Yale University.

The trio, each reaching similar insights from different angles, revealed how a tiny cell organizes and ships the hormones, antibodies and enzymes that make life possible.

This marvelous cellular mechanism — delivering cargo to the right place at the right time — is so critical that errors in the machinery lead to neurological diseases, diabetes, immunological disorders and ultimately death.

The scientists’ insights, lauded by the 50-member Nobel Assembly on Monday morning, have led directly to treatments and vaccines, as well as improved understanding of the biological basis of diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. They will share the $1.25 million prize.

In Monday news conferences, Sudhof of Menlo Park and Schekman of El Cerrito rejoiced at the news, but also fretted over the current state of science research and education in America.

Sudhof learned he’d won a Nobel Prize in a spotty cell phone call while driving from Madrid to a small town in southern Spain.

“I was expecting a call from a colleague about the conference I’m here to attend, so I pulled off in a parking lot,” Sudhof, 57, a molecular and cellular physiology professor, told the Stanford School of Medicine. “I hadn’t slept at all the previous night, and I certainly wasn’t expecting a call from the Nobel committee.”

Schekman had just returned from Germany Sunday night, and woke at 1:30 a.m. Monday to his wife, Nancy, yelling, “This is it! This is it!” when she heard the phone ring.

“I jumped up, my heart was pounding, I was trembling when I picked it up,” he said. “A comforting voice with a thick Swedish accent assured it was not a prank. ...My first reaction was, ‘Oh, my God! Oh, my God.’ Then I went speechless and couldn’t say any more.”

His first phone call was to his 86-year-old father who “has been waiting for this moment,” Schekman said.

Instructing his lab manager to buy two bottles of champagne, Schekman, 64, celebrated Monday afternoon with his staff. The professor of molecular and cell biology will return to the undergraduate classroom on Tuesday, to lead a debate among freshmen on the ethics of gene patenting.

Monday’s news adds to the already lengthy list of Nobel Laureates at both prestigious San Francisco Bay Area campuses. Seven living Nobelists work at Berkeley, and another 14 are deceased. Stanford lists 19 current Nobel Laureates, but when visiting professors are included, the tally

jumps to 28.

All three winners have a Stanford connection. Schekman earned his doctoral degree there. Rothman, the 62-year-old Yale professor of biomedical sciences, started his early research in a Stanford lab. Sudhof is a current member of the faculty.

Each scientist contributed a key — and complementary — part to the discoveries about inner workings of the supple, restless dynamo that is a living cell: — Schekman decoded a set of genes that were required for the sorting, packaging and delivery of proteins in tiny bubbles of fluid called vesicles, which ferry molecules around the cell interior.

— Rothman unraveled the protein machinery that allows these vesicles to fuse with their targets to transfer the proteins.

— Sudhof revealed how cellular signals instruct vesicles to release their cargo with precision.

“They’re three very different people. Each is very intelligent, very purposeful and driven,” Dartmouth University’s Bill Wickner told the journal New Scientist.

Sudhof has spent the past 30 years unlocking the secrets of the synapse, the junction where nerve cells communicate with one another in the brain.

The firing patterns of our synapses underwrite our consciousness, emotions and behavior. Sudhof believes that the death of these synapses are thought to contribute to diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. His work could lead to a treatment that protects these vital pathways.

“I’m just trying to give something back to the community,” she said.

In addition to the bra tree, her salon is selling “pink” merchandise. All of the proceeds will support the cause as well. Last year, she said her salon raised more than

Age, contacted Fuller to teach an agriculture class to the students last year. Afterward, he offered to bring a tractor out for the students to test drive. And, courtesy of O’Malley Equipment’s Dave Lalman, Fuller had a brand new tractor to offer the chil-

dren.

Fuller, whose wife, Jan, is a resident at Windsor Place, said he fully believes in the preschool program.

“I call them (the teachers) miracle workers with the kids,” Fuller said. “This whole program is a win-win.”

Several residents at

Windsor Place, including “Grandpa Marion” (a life-long farmer), watched the children’s eyes light up as they took the wheel of the giant machine, if only for a brief moment. Fuller always gives the children a chance to steer, so he can tell them “they drove the tractor.”

water patrol. Back in this area in 2009, he worked as a volunteer for various organizations.

Stokes also started his volunteer work in 2001 as a rural volunteer firefighter.

In 2010 Stokes and Smith were founding members of the county CERT program.

“Both Kirby and John have devoted their time to the Emergency Management Program and safety of the citizens of Allen County,” said Garry Berges, KEMA representative. “These gentlemen, without a doubt, deserve to be acknowledged for their devotion, skill and knowledge.”

IN RUN-UP to merger of county and Iola ambulance services, Iola Fire Chief Don Leapheart said Humboldt and Mo-

ran council members would be given an opportunity to weigh in.

“We want to make it clear that we will be there (in both towns) just for EMS, but would be willing to help with fire in any way if they want,” he said.

Moran volunteer firefighters have asked about rescue tools, which Leapheart said was a good idea, “and also about training. We always are looking for someone to help us out with rescue efforts.”

Iola fire operates a countywide rescue unit, and Leapheart theorized that if Moran had equipment it could be on a scene in the eastern part of the county ahead of Iola and start rescue operations.

“We want the best for everyone,” Leapheart said.

district education was transferred to the former administration building on North Cottonwood, two blocks north of Iola High.

Council members approved a Planning Commission recommendation to permit Kenton Anderson to develop 10 spaces for use by recreation vehicles, which may support construction workers in the area for U.S. 54 and Flanagan Pipeline work.

Robb said that brought total space available in Gas to about 75, with less than half occupied.

Catron said the city will benefit from transient guests, through utilities sold and sales

tax revenue at local businesses.

All but 10 blocks of city streets had chipand-seal application this summer, Robb said. Cost to Gas was $33,095 for oil.

Allen County provided rock and labor.

Catron said he attended an informational meeting last week on the Affordable Care Act and explained advantages it would give Gas employees, permitting them to purchase more comprehensive health insurance at a lower cost. He suggested, since they would be responsible for premiums, making premiums now paid by the city a part of the employees’ wages. No action was taken.

Fillies earn split, raise funds for ‘Pink Out’

By RICHARD LUKEN richard@iolaregister.com

Iola High capped a special evening with a special performance on the volleyball court Tuesday evening.

Players, coaches and fans dressed in pink for breast cancer awareness as part of the school’s “Pink Out” festivities.

On the court, the proceedings started slowly for the Fillies, who fell in straight sets to visiting Wellsville, then dropped the first game of their match to Osawatomie.

Iola rebounded nicely in the second and third games, hitting its groove against the Trojans in a come-from-behind victory.

Iola fell to Wellsville, 25-20, 25-19, and downed Osawatomie, 11-25, 25-15, 25-19.

The split gives the Fillies a 10-14 record on the season.

The Fillies’ performance against Osawatomie was a near carbon copy of a match earlier this season, IHS head coach Emily Sigg noted.

“We started out slowly and lost badly in the first set in that one, too,” Sigg said. “But we rebounded.”

The key, Sigg said, was Iola’s improved passing.

“Our hustle was great,” she said, “and our passing got better through the match.

We started out poorly against Wellsville, but did a little better the second game. Then, our passing got even better against Osawatomie. When we pass well, we play better.”

Osawatomie raced to a 17-3 lead to take control of its first game, and never let the lead get within single digits.

The momentum shifted in Iola’s favor in the second set.

Ashlie Shields had a kill, a block and an ace as part of a 9-2 run to put the Fillies on top 149. Driskel followed with three kills over Iola’s next six points to push the lead to 20-11. An Addie Haar kill was the winner.

Kyra Moore and Emma Piazza spearheaded the charge to start the third set. Moore had a kill and an ace, while Piazza knocked in a pair of kills as the Fillies broke a 5-5 deadlock with an 8-0 run to lead 13-5.

Emery Driskel’s kill and

Mikaela Platt punched in a kill to push the lead to 22-13.

Driskel’s smash killed another to put the lead at 23-14.

Osawatomie didn’t go quietly, putting together a 5-1 run before Haar’s winner down the line ended the match.

Driskel led the way for the Fillies with 10 kills and 8 solo blocks, while Piazza had 20 assists. Emma Sigg and Allie Cleaver both had a pair of digs. Kyra Moore added 10 assists.

WELLSVILLE RACED to a

6-1 run to start the opener, and never looked back. Shields’ kill pulled Iola within a point, 19-18, before the Eagles ended the set with a 6-2 run.

The Eagles showed why they remain undefeated in Pioneer League action in the second set as well, breaking

a 4-4 tie with a 9-3 run to take control. Iola pulled within 1412 but could get no closer.

Driskel had five kills and three solo blocks. Piazza had six assists and Moore five.

Moore also had a pair of digs.

INDEPENDENCE — Marv Smith cringed as he watched the events unfold Tuesday afternoon — needlessly, as it turned out.

Smith, Iola High’s cross country coach, saw the Mustangs’ top runner, Kohl Endicott make his move halfway through Tuesday’s Independence Invitational, racing to the front of a trio of Pittsburg High runners.

“I confessed to thinking, ‘What are you doing, Kohl?

It’s only halfway through the race,’” Smith said.

Smith’s fears that the speedy Endicott would fade down the stretch never materialized.

Instead, “he continued to pull away from the Pittsburg trio and the Arkansas City lead runner,” Smith said.

Endicott’s time of 15 minutes, 55 seconds gave him the gold medal in the varsity boys See RUNNERS | Page B3

Players, coaches and fans donned pink garb as part of the school’s “Pink Out� for breast cancer awareness.

Sigg addressed the crowd prior to the Osawatomie match, noting Tuesday happened to be the one-year anniversary of her mother, Angie Larson’s, breast cancer diagnosis.

The diagnosis came during a routine mammogram her mother had done annually.

As a result of the early detection, doctors are confident the cancer can be treated, an emotional Sigg told the crowd.

The volleyball team raised $827 through fundraisers to give to Kappa Alpha chapter of Phi Tau Omega, a local sorority that benefits local cancer patients. “And they don’t just help breast cancer patients,� Sigg said.

Sign-up sheets for mammogram appointments at Allen County Regional Hospital were set up in the commons

In addition, mothers of volleyball players sold baked goods and other items to raise funds for IHS instructor Betty Hawley, who is battling cancer. “We just tried to make it a special night,� Sigg said.

Mission plished.

The Tampa Bay Rays’ Evan Longoria strikes out to end the game as Boston Red Sox catcher David Ross begins the celebration after a 3-1 Boston win in Game 4 of the American League Division Series at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla., Tuesday.

Red Sox oust Tampa, 3-1

By ERIK BOLAND Newsday

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (MCT) — John Farrell expressed no concern about his team minutes after as tough a defeat as a team can have.

“We’ll be here ready to go,” the Red Sox manager said late Monday night after his team gave up a three-run lead midgame, then got beat on a bottom-of-the-ninth homer. “Our guys have a very strong ability to put this one behind us.”

The Red Sox did and, in doing so, finally put behind them baseball’s team that until Tuesday night had refused to die.

Rallying late, the Red Sox scored twice in the seventh to take down the Rays, 3-1, in front of a sellout crowd of 32,807 at Tropicana Field to advance to the ALCS. “This wasn’t going to be an easy series,” said Red Sox reliever Craig Breslow, a New Haven native who was part of a stellar effort by the Boston bullpen. “We’re fortunate to not have this series go all five games.”

Game 1 of the ALCS will be Saturday at Fenway Park against the winner of Game 5 of the Tigers/Athletics series.

Boston got a standout outing from Jake Peavy (one run and five hits in 52/3 innings) and tremendous work from its bullpen, Breslow in par-

ticular. Breslow came on with two outs in the sixth and struck out the first four batters he faced.

Koji Uehara, who allowed Jose Lobaton’s game-winning homer Monday night, came on with two outs in the eighth and was perfect the rest of the way in recording the save.

“They were really good, they didn’t make any mistakes,” said Rays manager Joe Maddon, whose team tallied a combined nine runs in the series. “They’ve got a bunch of gamers over there. On the other side, I think our guys were equally tough. We just have had a hard time hitting their pitching staff.”

The Red Sox trailed 1-0 in the seventh but scored twice against the Rays’ fifth pitcher of the night, lefthander Jake McGee. Tampa used nine pitchers after starter Jeremy Hellickson lasted just one inning and had Game 5 starter David Price warming up in the bottom of the ninth in case of a rally.

Hellickson came in 2-7 with a 7.15 ERA in his previous 11 appearances (10 starts) and to say Maddon had a short leash with the righthander is an understatement.

Hellickson, after a scoreless first, threw eight straight balls to start the second inning, walking David Ortiz and

Mike Napoli. He threw a strike to Daniel Nava before the leftfielder lined his next pitch to right for a single that loaded the bases for Jarrod Saltalamacchia.

With the catcher 8-for25 in his career against Hellickson, Maddon made the move to Jamey Wright.

“I could see it was just not going to work,” said Maddon, who planned to piece things together all game, though not that early.

Wright got Saltalamacchia looking at a called third strike, then saw Stephen Drew, a potential target this offseason for the Yankees, line one that had double written all over it. But first baseman James Loney stabbed the liner, then threw to second to double off Napoli to end the inning and further ignite the crowd that was boisterous all night.

“It kind of took the wind out of our sails,” Farrell said of the double play. “But the one thing this team has done throughout the course of this season is continue to build opportunities.”

The Red Sox finally broke through in the seventh, tying it on a wild pitch and getting the go-ahead run when Shane Victorino beat out a chopper to short, allowing Jacoby Ellsbury (9-for-18 in the series) to score to make it 2-1.

Runners: Iolans nab gold Continued from B1

5-kilometer race, spearheading a team championship for the Mustangs in the process.

Iola brought home five of the top 14 places to win the team title with 29 points, well in front of runner-up Pittsburg’s 50, Labette County’s 55, Neodesha’s 130 and Independence’s 144.

Making the feat even more impressive, Pittsburg’s squad featured runners from Pittsburg Colgan-St. Mary’s .

“We proved we could win the Southeast Kansas League this year,” he joked. “Now, we just have to win the Pioneer League championship next week.”

The Pioneer League meet is Oct. 17 at Central Heights.

Other top finishers for the Mustangs included Braden Plumlee in seventh at 17:53, Jeremy Spears one second behind in eighth at 17:54, Michael Wilson in 13th at 18:25 and Travis Hermstein in 14th at 18:26. Blaine Klubek,

24th, finished in 19:14.

Bryan Mueller was 32nd at 19:47.

For comparison’s sake, Mueller’s time was in front of Pittsburg’s fifth-fasted runner, Smith noted.

On the girls’ side, Iola’s Abigail Taylor took home sixth, finishing her 4k race in 17:13.

“Abigail ran a very good race timewise,” Smith said, even after being isolated from any other runners along the course after about a mile.

“She finished 13 seconds behind the fifthplace runner and 12 seconds ahead of seventh,” Smith said. “That’s a tough way to run.”

IOLA PICKED UP a pair of gold medals in the junior varsity races as well.

Colby Works was tops among boys JV runners with a time of 18:59, a mark that would have placed him 19th in the boys varsity, Smith noted.

Isaiah Fawson was fourth at 19:33, and Ken-

dall Jay ran 19:54, good for fifth.

Others for the JV boys were Darius Greenawalt, 18th at 23:09, Dareece Bell, 24th at 24:28, and Ankit Gandhi, 29th at 26:40.

Iola was without two other top JV runners, Jacob Cooper and Yohon Sinclair, because of schedule conflicts.

“We were pleased with our second-place finish,” Smith said.

Iola’s JV, with 34 points, finished six points behind first-place finisher Labette County.

On the girls’ side, Iola’s Megan Klubek won the junior varsity race with a time of 18:51.

Smith noted Klubek’s time was more than a minute faster than the runner-up racer, but was not up to her lofty standards because of illness.

“She was undecided as to whether or not to run, until just before race time,” Smith noted.

“Three individual race champions and the boys’ team title made for a nice day.”

U.S. to slash funding to Egypt

By MATTHEW LEE Associated Press

BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, Brunei (AP) — U.S. officials said today that the Obama administration is poised to slash hundreds of millions of dollars in military and economic assistance to Egypt. The announcement is expected this week, once official notifications have been made to all interested parties.

The U.S. has been considering such a move since the Egyptian military ousted the country’s first democratically elected leader in July.

It would be a dramatic shift for the Obama administration, which has declined to label President Mohamed Morsi’s ouster a coup and has argued that it is in U.S. national security interests to keep aid flowing.

It would also likely have profound implications for decades of close U.S.Egyptian ties that have served as a bulwark of security and stability in the Middle East.

The move follows a particularly violent weekend in Egypt, as dozens of people were killed in clashes between security forces and Morsi supporters.

The U.S. officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly before the administration’s official announcement.

President Barack Obama’s top national security aides recommended the aid cutoff in late August, and Obama had been expected to announce it last month.

But the announcement got sidetracked by the debate over whether to launch military strikes against Syria.

The U.S. provides Egypt with $1.5 billion a year in aid, $1.3 billion of which is military assistance. The rest is economic assistance. Some of it goes to the government and some to other groups. Only the money that goes to the government would be suspended.

None injured in rural Oklahoma pipeline blast ROSSTON, Okla. (AP) — Authorities say no one was injured when a natural gas pipeline exploded in northwest Oklahoma, shooting flames into the sky that were visible from up to 50 miles away.

The explosion happened at about 11 p.m.

Tuesday in a rural area of Harper County near the Kansas border. The Oklahoman reported the pipeline is owned by Northern Natural Gas

Company of Omaha, Neb. Company spokesman Mike Loeffler said the cause of the explosion isn’t yet known. He says firefighters have contained the blaze and are letting it burn itself out.

Four nearby homes were evacuated as a precaution.

The explosion occurred in a rural part of the state near the Panhandle.

Falcons star sidelined with injury FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) — Atlanta Falcons coach Mike Smith sounded dismayed while discussing his team’s latest major injury.

This time the bad news concerned Pro Bowl receiver Julio Jones, who could miss the rest of the

NFL eyes more games in London

WA S H I N G T O N (AP) — The NFL will play three regularseason games at London’s Wembley Stadium next year, hosted by the Jaguars, Falcons and Raiders.

The league announced Tuesday at its fall meetings that it was expanding its international series.

It will be the most games the league has played abroad in one year. This season, Minnesota beat Pittsburgh 34-27 in September, and Jacksonville will host San Francisco on Oct. 27 as part of it a fouryear commitment to move a home game to Wembley.

Dates and opponents for the games will be announced when the schedule is compiled next year.

“Our fans in the UK have continued to demonstrate that they love football and want more,” said Commissioner Roger Goodell, who has championed overseas games for years and someday believes the NFL will have a franchise based in London.

“Both of this year’s games in London sold out quickly. The fan enthusiasm for our sport continues to grow. By playing two games in the UK this year, we are creating more fans. We hope that with three games in London next year we will attract even more people to our game.”

The Raiders and Falcons never have played a regular-season game at Wembley. The Jaguars’ first appearance will be when they face San Francisco in 19 days.

season after injuring his foot in Monday’s 30-28 home loss to the New York Jets.

“He saw our doctors this morning,” Smith said Tuesday. “He is going to have a second opinion tomorrow. The first reports were not encouraging, but we will wait and see what the second opinion comes back as.”

Atlanta (1-4) heads into its bye week riding a three-game losing streak, a tough reality check for a team that’s never dropped more than two straight regular season games in six seasons under Smith.

The Falcons’ four losses have come by an average of 4.8 points, dropping the defending NFC South champions four games behind divisionleading New Orleans.

Offensively, Atlanta has faltered late in potential game-winning situations at New Orleans and at home against New England.

Defensively, the Falcons have given up late leads at Miami and against the Jets.

“We’re disappointed,” Smith said. “We’re discouraged. I think we’re living proof of how close games are in the NFL. It comes down to a handful of plays, and we haven’t made

Jullio Jones them. In years past, we’ve been in games like these and we’ve made the plays.”

After five relatively healthy seasons under Smith, Atlanta has been bombarded with injuries this year.

Running back Steven Jackson and linebacker Sean Weatherspoon have missed the last three games, and the team isn’t sure when they will return.

Two starters, defensive end Kroy Biermann and fullback Bradie Ewing, were lost for the season in Week 1, and right tackle Mike Johnson’s year ended in training camp.

Three other starters — Sam Baker, cornerback Asante Samuel and linebacker Akeem Dent — have missed signifi-

cant time, too.

And Roddy White, a four-time Pro Bowl receiver, left Monday’s game and did not return after tweaking a hamstring. White has played since preseason with a high ankle sprain, and his 14 catches and 129 yards receiving are far below the average production of his first five games over the last six seasons.

Losing Jones only makes conditions worse.

Jones, the No. 6 overall draft pick of 2011, leads the NFL with 41 catches and ranks second with 580 yards receiving.

Smith said that Jones will see a foot specialist today in Charlotte, N.C., for a second opinion. The coach refused to say which foot Jones hurt.

Jones was X-rayed after the game, and results were negative, but a CAT-scan Tuesday showed something more serious.

“He’s going to be a hard guy to replace if we have to replace him,” Smith said. “We’ve got guys that are on our roster in Kevin Cone and Drew Davis. Harry (Douglas) will be asked to step up and if we have to make a roster move, we will look at all options that are available to us there.”

Mastodon tooth donated GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — A Michigan charity that collects donated clothing, shoes and other items for lowincome residents got a really old cast-off in a donation box: A mastodon tooth.

The remains of the extinct relative of the elephant turned up during a July pickup in Grand Rapids, The Grand Rapids Press reported. The tooth pieces and tusk are estimated to be anywhere from 12,000 to 15,000 years old. The Christian charity, called In The Image, turned the find over to the Grand Rapids Public Museum, which is adding them to its collection.

“I’d love to find out where this was from and the history behind it,” said Jay Starkey, the charity’s director.

The tooth is broken into two parts and is covered in lacquer. A tusk, also covered in lacquer, is hollow at one end and also may be from a mastodon.

The animals roamed North America more than 10,000 years ago,

and their remains turn up from time to time in Michigan — usually buried underground.

The museum already has a number of mastodon bones and the new additions will be available for loan to educators for use as a learning tool in schools.

“This is kind of an oddball way for something to come in,” said

Tim Priest, collections manager.

For the charity, the discovery is one of many odd donations to come in. Drugs are a common find, Starkey said. It once got a painting worth about $5,000 that ended up being donated to the museum.

And it also has received an urn with someone’s ashes inside.
