Splechter not alone in fight

By SUSAN LYNN susan@iolaregister.com

YATES CENTER — Tracy Splechter is battling breast cancer. But she’s not alone.

Splechter, 53, has been adopted by Friends for Life, a local group of women who raise funds to help those with cancer.

“They’re like angels,” Splechter said of the dozen women, some with whom she attended Yates Center High School.

Splechter talked with the Register over the phone from her hospital room at St. Francis Hospital in Topeka where she is undergoing radiation treatments for breast cancer.

Hard work pays off IHS band enjoying revival

By RICHARD LUKEN richard@iolaregister.com

Throngs of Iola High supporters showed up Friday night ready to cheer on the Mustangs on the football field for homecoming.

The most rousing cheers may have come at halftime.

Iola’s Marching Mustangs delivered a powerful performance of instructor Matt Kleopfer’s creation, “Battle Cry.” The 7½-minute piece follows the story of a World War II-era soldier who finds love before being shipped off to battle.

Several in the audience approached Kleopfer after the performance, dabbing tears from their eyes.

“I was hoping for a strong reaction,” he said. “I wasn’t expecting that.

“But that’s our goal,” he continued. “We want to be able to stir emotions.”

The performance was just the latest in what has become an in-

creasingly popular performance by the IHS band, now in its second year under Kleopfer’s tutelage.

The fun will continue this Friday when Iola hosts Wellsville at Riverside Park.

The high-schoolers will be joined by Iola Middle School band students, putting more than 100 musicians on the field for the first time in years.

“It ought to be a good show,” Kleopfer said. “We’re looking forward to it.”

KLEOPFER came up with “Battle Cry” over the summer.

“I wanted to write something that challenged the kids,” he said.

“I wanted a piece that would accentuate our strengths and challenge our weaknesses. We have some sections with more veteran performers who I know can handle certain numbers.”

The high school band, at 44 members, is down in numbers slightly from last year.

Band takes third in competition COFFEYVILLE — Iola High’s Marching Mustangs brought home third place in a band contest in Coffeyville Tuesday.

“It was a great result for us,” band instructor Matt Kleopfer said. “The two bands that beat us were twice our size.”

Eleven schools competed.

In addition, Iola senior Michael Wilson received the top drum major award.

“He’s probably the only drum major there willing to travel more than 700 miles to go to a drum major camp,” Kleopfer said.

Wilson attended a summer camp in Illinois.

His efforts paid off, his instructor said.

“He did a great job,” Kleopfer said. “Everybody did a great job.”

ACLU complaint leads to change

By BOB JOHNSON bob@iolaregister.com

Sheriff Bryan Murphy characterized as an oversight an Allen County Jail policy that said inmates “could simply choose not to eat at the county jail” if the food did not meet the dictates of their religion.

As an example, those of the Jewish faith who do not eat pork, can request an alternative rather than going hungry.

The policy was brought to Allen County authorities’ attention by the American Civil Liberties See ACLU| Page A5

Retired school personnel host director Otto shies from Brilla Scott, executive director of the Kansas Association of Retired School Personnel, met with local chapter members Oct. 2.

Scott told of her travels across the state as part of her professional duties to meet with local chapters.

Scott stressed the importance of keeping focus on the organization’s pension plan. In efforts to rein in costs,

state legislators have the Kansas Public Employees Retirement plan in its sights.

“We must not change the defined benefit plan that we have now,” Scott said, urging members to contact their state representatives.

Scott mentioned a rally to be held in Topeka in February.

Other guests included Bob Casino, District 6 director, and Kim En-

sminger, principal of Marmaton Valley High School.

Members of the FCCLA organization at MVHS served members a lunch.

Kathryn Tillman said the SAFE BASE after-school program is in need of volunteers. Those interested should contact Angela Henry, director of the program, at 365-1780.

Elaine Stewart, FC-

CLA director, said she needs judges for the Feb. 12 STAR event.

The next meeting will be Dec. 4 at Allen Community College. ACC musicians will provide music and Chartwells will cater the meal.

Nutrition program hit by shutdown TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas officials began notifying county health clinics on Wednesday that a program providing cash subsidies to women and children will cease issuing checks later this month because of the federal government shutdown.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment said in a news release that because of uncertain funding checks won’t be issued for November or Decem-

ber through the federal Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women Infants and Children, commonly known as WIC. “We are hopeful that the shutdown will be resolved before it impacts WIC past the month of October,” said David Thomason, state WIC director. “But we must be fiscally responsible during this time of uncertainty.”

The program supplies low-income women with

checks or debit cards that can be used for infant formula and cereal, fruits and vegetables, dairy items and other healthy food. WIC also provides breast-feeding support and nutrition classes.

Low-income women with children under 5 are eligible.

KDHE estimates WIC serves 70,000 residents each month through contracts with county health departments.

Checks are valid for 30 days after they are issued.

All county health clinics were fully operational and serving clients as of Wednesday. KDHE also said the agency would be working with grocery stores that participate in the WIC program to keep them informed about the status of the program.

States have been taking similar steps across the country in the wake of the shutdown. Many charitable organizations have stepped forward to help continue assistance to families.

LE ROY — Bill Otto, who represented Allen County in the House of Representatives 2004-2012, will not seek a seat in the 2014 election.

With redistricting, Otto lost to Peggy Mast, Emporia, in the 2012 Republican primary. Mast, 65, announced recently she would not seek re-election in 2014.

With realignment of districts, Ed Bideau, Chanute Republican, was elected to the Ninth District seat to represent most of Allen and Neosho counties. He died in September, leading to Kent Thompson, LaHarpe, being nominated as his replacement in a GOP convention here on Sept. 29.

Lawrence seeks meeting with tribe

By CHAD LAWHORN

Lawrence Journal World

Lawrence city commissioners want to have a face-to-face meeting with leaders of the Delaware Tribe of Indians to learn their intentions for developing a prime piece of North Lawrence property along the Kansas Turnpike.

Commissioners at their Tuesday evening meeting directed City Manager David Corliss to seek a meeting with tribal officials in Oklahoma within the next two to three weeks.

“I would rather be a part of any conversations sooner rather than later,” City Commissioner Bob Schumm said.

“I’m very concerned about the environmental impact development could have on that property. It is a delicate piece of property. When it rains, I’ve seen that area look like a great lake out there.”

The tribe this summer purchased approximately 90 acres of farmland along the turnpike, formerly owned by the Pine family as a sod farm, just east of the North Lawrence interchange.

The tribe has not released specific plans for the property, other

The entire North Lawrence area was part of the tribe’s Kansas reservation until it was forced to move to Oklahoma after the Civil War.

Freeman, 53, told the Coffey County Republican he would seek the 76th District seat being vacated by Mast.

The district contains most of Coffey County and parts of Osage and Lyon counties.

Freeman served in the House 1984-1991, and the past 23 years has worked as a lobbyist for the National Rifle Association. He lives in Burlington and has ties in Le Roy, where his parents, Bill and Joan Freeman, live.

“No Pain!”

Keith Lanning has been selling cars for 26 years, spending most of that time walking on concrete. “I was in severe pain with my knee and I had to do something so I was recommended to see Dr. Meister and Labette Health,” he said.

Dr. Meister ordered x-rays and – after discussing various options with Keith – determined knee replacement surgery would be the best. Several weeks prior to surgery Keith and his wife participated in Dr. Brad Meister Labette Health’s Joint Camp which they Orthopedic Surgeon found to be “very, very helpful.”

“They went over a lot of things that helped prepare for the surgery and also for after the surgery,” he said.

“I keep the book on hand still today.”

Upon arriving for surgery that first day “everything just clicked,” he said. “Everything was perfect…everybody was just in place and it was wonderful.” His first experience was so positive, Keith has since returned for knee replacement on his left knee.

“My experience with Labette Health and Dr. Meister with my knee replacement has brought back wonderful things in life,” Keith said.

“It’s just like it was before… no pain.”

The program is at 7 p.m. Oct. 17 in the Bowlus Fine Arts Center, and is a tribute to “heroes” on many different levels, ACC Music Director Ted Clous said.

The concert choir, Devils Fyre Jazz Choir, the Red Devils jazz band and the concert band will be performing tributes to heroes on several different platforms — all the way from 9/11 first responders and unsung heroes to video game and movie characters.

Clous said he has high hopes for this year’s opening and thinks “it will be a good show.”

“There’s a whole new crop of students this year,” Clous said, many of which are talented musicians and singers.

The event is free to the public.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

GOP painting itself out of the picture A small cabal of angry Republicans is holding the House of Representatives hostage.

To understand why this faction is able to bend the party to its will is not selfevident.

It can’t be that they are against big government, since most deem it their right to accept Social Security and Medicare — universal programs every bit as “socialist” as food stamps, Medicaid and now the Affordable Care Act, in that the government provides them.

Individually, these programs have purposes most Republicans accept. Yes, it’s good to keep the poor fed and clothed. Those with disabilities should not suffer unduly. A diagnosis of cancer should not prevent one from obtaining health insurance. And the elderly deserve a “cushion” of support and care to take them through their senior years.

Perhaps it’s the total aggregate of such programs that make Republicans shout “too much!”

Recent polls and surveys indicate the Republican Party is becoming more conservative at a fast clip. From 2002 to 2010, the percentage of conservative Republicans grew by 10 percent, according to a Gallup poll.

At the same time, the moderate faction fell by as much.

Concerns included the loss of homogeneous communities, they are very conscious of being white in a country that has a growing number of non-white populations; social change, such as some states approving same-sex marriage, makes them feel uncomfortable; they are afraid of women gaining too much power; they see food stamps

and unemployment benefits designed to benefit minorities only; and that providing health insurance for all creates a society that is increasingly on the lookout for a handout.

Conservative Republicans are composed of two factions: Tea Party followers and evangelical Christians. Together, they more than double the number who consider themselves moderate.

The conservative faction sees cooperation as capitulation.

WHEN

REPUBLICANS

say they don’t want “big government,” it must be taken, hopefully, with a grain of salt.

They’re not saying no to national defense, disease control, food inspection services, public schools and universities, crop insurance, health clinics and hospitals, interstate highways, national parks, and all the programs that take them into their senior years with promises of health care and a pension.

They like that picture.

Unfortunately, this world is not picture perfect. It comes with the poor (who will always be with us), the war-torn, the hurt, the people, in fact, who a certain savior made it his purpose to serve.

The demographics and social landscapes of the United States are like a watercolor. An influx here, a new law there, and the picture changes entirely, never to go back to its original.

That is how the world has always been.

If Republicans refuse to accept these changes, they risk being left out of the picture.

Kansas doesn’t need more prisons The Kansas Department of Corrections announced this week a plan for a two-stage expansion of the El Dorado prison as a way to deal with anticipated prison overcrowding.

The expansion, which is projected to cost upwards of $38 million, would house an additional 640 inmates. The Kansas Sentencing Commission recently offered new projections showing the state will run out of prison space

by July 2017 and hold more than 5 percent above the department’s capacity of 9,600 inmates.

At full capacity and at an estimated annual cost of $24,165 an inmate, the state could expect to spend roughly $231.9 million each year to house its growing prison population.

Crime is a massive expense that Kansans will pay for in one fashion or another, yet how Kansans choose to approach crime will determine how those tax dollars are spent.

In recent years, spending for programs designed to prevent incarceration have endured budget cuts while experiencing heavier caseloads.

But those cuts don’t equal real

savings to Kansas taxpayers; the spending is simply delayed until the need for a prison expansion has reached a critical level. At that time, Kansans will be told it is in an emergency situation and that the community’s safety is at risk unless money is allocated to build more prisons and house

prisoners.

Adequate spending to programs such as community corrections or money to create new programs like the Reno County Drug Court — which works to keep drug offenders out of prison — are worthwhile investments that address the issue of crime before it ends with thousands of people in prison.

And much crime and drug use has its genesis, at least partly, in poverty. While taxpayers may feel that safety

ing need for additional prison space.

Kansans don’t have much choice about whether they will continue to pay for crime, and even the best efforts to educate people and lift them out of poverty will yield a criminal population. But Kansans do have a choice about how to invest in addressing crime, and at a cost of $24,165 a year, per inmate, additional incarceration seems like a risky and costly way to go.

‘This is no way to run a country’ — Sen. Snowe

By OLYMPIA SNOW The Los Angeles Times

This is the first year in more than four decades that I haven’t been in the legislative branch of government. During that span, I’ve witnessed government’s greatest potential as well as its calamitous capacity for dysfunction. Unfortunately, the latter is now drastically outweighing the former.

When I got my start, in the Maine House of Representatives in 1973, I found that politics and public life were positive and constructive endeavors. Once the elections were over, we put campaigns and party labels behind us to enact laws that genuinely improved the lives of the citizens of our state. I felt then, as I do now, that the role of a public servant was to solve problems.

That notion sounds almost irretrievably quaint in our

present, corrosive political environment.

In making the incredibly difficult decision last year to leave the U.S. Senate after three terms, I had arrived at a regrettable reality: Our excessive political polarization would not diminish in the short term. Instead, I decided it would be most effective to take my fight for bipartisanship outside the institution of government.

To be clear, I’m not suggesting there was a “golden era” of bipartisanship. There were always vigorous debates and deep political divisions.

Yet we weren’t consumed by what separated us. There was instead an abiding sense that reconciliation was achievable because our ultimate allegiance was to the best interests of the country.

Indeed, during my 34 years in Congress, I experienced firsthand what can be accomplished when individuals

from various political backgrounds are determined to solve problems.

At the House of Representatives in Washington in Olympia Snowe 1979, I joined the Congressional Caucus on Women’s Issues, which I cochaired for more than 10 years with Rep. Pat Schroeder, DColo. Despite the political differences among women in the House, we knew we couldn’t afford to draw lines in the sand on issues of importance to women, with females so drastically underrepresented in Congress.

This was a time when economic equality pertained only to economic equality among men, when our laws failed to reflect the changing, dual responsibilities of women who were increasingly working as well as caring for a family.

But through an adherence to bipartisanship and to principle over politics, together we changed that.

This kind of cooperation was still the norm when I arrived in the Senate in 1995. It was a cross-aisle alliance between Democratic Sen. Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia and me who produced the socalled E-Rate program in 1996, ensuring every library and classroom in America would be wired to the revolutionary resources of the Internet. It’s been ranked fourth in a list of innovations and initiatives

that helped shape education technology over the past generation.

Or during the tax debates we had in Congress in 2001, Democratic Sen. Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas and I, as members of the Finance Committee, joined together to increase the child tax credit and make it refundable, helping an additional 37 million American families and 55 million children nationwide.

Can you imagine these kinds of collaborative initiatives today?

Instead, Congress has arrived at a moment when policymaking has been virtually abandoned. It has devolved into a series of “gotcha” votes for political leverage. Rather than legislating, it’s all about “messaging” amendments, which aren’t designed to solve a problem but to create the basis for appeals to each party’s political base and 30-second sound bites for the next election.

AS

A

CONSEQUENCE,

Congress lurches from one self-inflicted crisis to another, and that is no way to govern.

This abdication of leadership has led us directly to a government shutdown and a potential default on our country’s financial obligations that profoundly threaten our economy precisely as we struggle to emerge from the worst postrecession recovery in our history.

Still, there is hope. Ultimately, we get the government we demand.

What is required is a political reward at the ballot box for those politicians who work toward common ground, and a penalty for those who do not. That’s my message now.

And to further it, I’ve established Olympia’s List, a rallying point for those interested in identifying and supporting candidates who are willing to reach across the political aisle and follow the principles of consensus-building. And at the Bipartisan Policy Center, where I am a senior fellow, we are encouraging Americans to join a new effort called Citizens for Political Reform to demand bipartisanship.

There are already plenty of incentives for incendiary rhetoric and thwarting action.

We can alter those incentives.

What is necessary now is a counterweight to the extremism, a groundswell of recognition that there is strength in compromise, courage in conciliation and honor in consensus-building that will leave a legacy of responsible stewardship for the generations to come.

That is the essence of my new line of work, and I’ll be fighting tooth and nail to make it happen so that Congress can, in fact, govern once again. ___ About the writer: Olympia Snowe represented Maine in Washington from 1979 to 2013.

Pipeline work will continue CUSHING, Okla. (AP) — A federal appeals court Wednesday said a lower court was correct when it refused to temporarily stop construction of what is intended to be the southern end of the Keystone XL pipeline and carry oil from Oklahoma to refineries along the Gulf Coast.

The Sierra Club, Clean Energy Future of Oklahoma and the East Texas Sub Regional Planning Commission had sued the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, saying the project posed significant environmental hazards and shouldn’t have been approved. The

groups sought an order that would have stopped work on the pipeline while the lawsuit was being heard, but a district court denied that request last year.

In a split decision, a panel of judges on the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver upheld the ruling, saying the groups couldn’t prove that potential environmental harm would surpass concrete economic harm that the pipeline’s builders would see.

Referring to the lower court, the panel said the judge “found that the harm an injunction would cause TransCan-

ada was significant.” By an August 2012 hearing, TransCanada had spent in excess of $500 million on the pipeline and it was “undisputed that further delay (would) cost hundreds of thousands of dollars each day.”

The court also said that the Sierra Club and the other groups could not post a bond to cover TransCanada’s losses if the pipeline builder ultimately wins the lawsuit. The judges also rejected an argument that TransCanada’s potential losses were “self-inflicted” because of its own deadlines for construction.

Fight: Local group helps out

Continued from A1 The interview coincides with Saturday morning’s walk to raise funds for Friends for Life, which directs 100 percent of its proceeds to help cancer victims with myriad services, including transportation, money for groceries, two months of paid electric bills, and tons of support.

“I wish every county had a group like this.

They have been a godsend,” she said.

SPLECHTER discovered her cancer from a self-examination. A doctor’s visit and tests confirmed her suspicions. In May she had a lumpectomy followed by chemotherapy and radiation treatments. She is four days away from the last of the radiation, “Not that I’m counting,” she said with a hint of sarcasm.

It’s not been easy going.

“The first chemotherapy was nicknamed ‘Red Devil,’” she said of the drug Doxil. “It was very wicked.” Splechter could endure only four treatments. After that she began the drug Taxol. Both were administered intravenously.

“I was supposed to have 12 treatments with the Taxol, but could take only 10,” she said. “I began to lose feeling in my hands, legs and feet. And I was so tired. The doctor said it wasn’t worth it to continue.”

Ed and Tracy Splechter From there she began radiation treatments, which are beginning to take a toll.

“The skin is all red.

It’s like a bad sunburn,” she said. Salves and gel packs give some relief.

Splechter stays the week in a Topeka hotel.

She gets herself to and from her appointments. “ It took a while to adjust to driving in a city.

I’d never driven much outside of Yates Center and Iola,” she said.

Her husband, Ed, comes several evenings a week to be with her, but not before he puts in a full day of work at Atmos Energy in Yates Center, and tends to their cattle.

Tracy and Ed have been married 37 years.

“She’s a real trooper,” Ed said of his wife.

He also gives kudos to Friends for Life.

“We knew they were helping others, but we didn’t understand how much until we needed it,” he said. “It’s been

overwhelming how much support we have received from the entire community.”

TRACY wasn’t always on board of receiving treatment for her cancer.

“I wasn’t going to do the radiation. I’d seen how hard it was on my mother. But one look at my grandchildren, and I knew I had to try,” she said.

Splechter’s mother, Betty Reid, passed away in 2011 after a four-anda-half-year battle with cancer that began in her colon and metastasized to her lungs and brain.

“My mother’s side of the family has had every kind of cancer you can imagine,” she said.

The action of the play unfolds as the students are eliminated one by one until only two remain.

Their judges, Rona Lisa Perretti (played

by Kailey Boyd) and Vice Principal Douglas Panch (played by Craig Hendricks) have their own reasons for being at the competition. Perretti was the winner of the third annual bee, and is trying to relive her glory days. Hendricks, well, has some issues and may not be in the best mental condition. And to boot, the security guard, Mitch Mahoney (played by Colton Schubert), is doing his community service and would rather be somewhere else.

Throughout the play,

each character’s story unfolds as to why they are in the bee to begin with — for better or worse, until there is only one remaining.

THERE ARE songs sprinkled throughout the play, and this year’s talent is better than ever. Nearly every character has a solo at some point, and the group contributes to the musical action in nearly every way.

The play keeps you on your toes as well. Pandemonium ensues as each character is eliminated from the contest.

There are intermittent interruptions — including Schwartandgrubennierre’s two dads, a “personal” problem with Tolentino, a breakdown from one of the judges and, oh yes, Jesus is involved.

All in all, “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” is guaranteed to entertain. Its musical numbers are nailed by the cast, the script is tight and witty and the plot never seems to slow.

Live music, provided

by Ted Clous at the helm along with amazing band support, keep the mood lively and upbeat. Some may be bored by a traditional spelling bee; but be warned, this play is anything but.

Other cast members who contribute are: Jordan Fountain and Gage Dickerson as Schwartzandgrubennierre’s two dads; Sarah Price and Jordan Garcia as Ostrovsky’s transient, but loving parents. The play is directed by Tony Piazza.

Band: Seeing success Continued from A1

But what it lacks in numbers, the squad makes up for with its work ethic, Kleopfer said.

“These kids are amazing,” he said. “They’ll practice before school, after school, and most of these kids have other things going on outside of school.”

He estimates the students spend as much as seven hours a week outside of class in rehearsals.

The students have become so adaptable, they can learn changes in numbers with little warning.

For example, Kleopfer tweaked a portion of

“Battle Cry” less than an hour before the students took to the field.

“That piece is always changing,” he said.

“I have 45 minutes to think about it every day I drive to work. (He lives in Fredonia). The kids are used to it by now. They’ve become fast learners. They can pick up a change and go with it.”

THE BUSY fall schedule has Iola performing at the Neewollah parade in Independence on Oct. 26 and at halftime of Iola’s football home finale Oct. 31 against Anderson County.

The Oct. 31 performance will feature an

extended version of “Battle Cry” with a special ending that Kleopfer will not reveal.

“It should be pretty special,” he said.

Then, as soon as football season ends, the tone shifts to pep band practice for basketball.

“Our goal is to have our band become so good that we can travel to road games and perform,” Kleopfer said.

Like last year, the pep band will have featured guests, including the Wichita State University pep band paying a visit Jan. 14. Other IHS alumni will be invited to perform in Iola’s last basketball game before Christmas break.

ACLU: Complaint filed Continued from A1

Union. Doug Bonney, legal director of the ACLU Foundation of Kansas, said the Allen County policy was found during review of policies at several Kansas jails. He said the policy was unconstitutional in its requirement that inmates “choose between starvation and remaining true to their religious creeds.”

In his 20 years association with the Allen County Sheriff Department, including time

as jail administrator before being elected sheriff, Murphy said he could not remember an inmate ever lodging a complaint about the jail’s food because it did not adhere with their religion.

“We work with diabetics and others who have medical concerns with food to meet their needs,” he added.

The ACLU notified the county Friday that its policy violated the inmates’ constitutional and statutory rights.

Bonney said he was

pleased Allen County agreed to amend the policy.

Allen County Counselor Alan Weber said the meals entry was old, and was removed Wednesday.

Murphy said jail policies were reviewed at least once a year, along with all others affecting the department, and that the one questioned by the ACLU had been overlooked.

“They’re living documents,” he said.

Ryan loses sway with party

By LISA MASCARO and MICHAEL MEMOLI Tribune Bureau

WASHINGTON — Rep. Paul D. Ryan, the former Republican vice presidential candidate, has been a tea party favorite and a bridge between House conservatives and the party leadership ever since he took the lead in crafting a plan to scale back Medicare and other social programs to reduce federal spending.

But on Wednesday, when Ryan, R-Wis., stepped forward to try to bring Republican factions together behind a strategy to end the government’s latest budget stalemate, some of the same conservatives who once trusted him went cold.

The complaint: His plan, which centered on trimming back spending on government entitlement programs, failed to mention the

This is the road to cave city.

demise of President Barack Obama’s new health care law as a top Republican objective.

Conservatives accused him of abandoning their cause and caving in to Democrats.

“So we are going to ditch the fight over Obamacare, which is extremely unpopular, to fight for Medicare reform? Really, Paul Ryan? And they think we are politically stupid?” wrote Daniel Horowitz on RedState. com, an influential conservative website.

“This is the road to cave city,” he said.

The heated reaction showed how deeply divided Republicans remain in the second week of the government shutdown — with a week to go before the nation could run out of money to pay its bills.

House GOP leaders have been trying to shift the focus of their standoff with the White House and Senate Democrats away from Sen. Ted Cruz’s drive to stop the president’s health law to a broader plan to cut the budget. But partly as a result, the majority led

by House Speaker John A. Boehner, R-Ohio, can no longer explain what, exactly, it is fighting for.

“There are a lot of ideas right now on the table,” said Rep. Cory Gardner, R-Colo. But he said Republicans hadn’t yet coalesced around one approach.

ONE WAY OUT would be a short-term agreement to raise the $16.7 trillion debt ceiling for a few weeks while both sides work on a broader budget agreement. Republicans are increasingly floating this pro-

Rep. Paul Ryan posal, but Democrats are wary that the GOP will demand concessions.

Senate Democrats are expected to vote this weekend on a proposal to suspend the debt limit through 2014.

Republican divisions over what they want from the White House have weakened their hand and made the stalemate harder to resolve. The party’s struggles could be seen in a new Gallup poll that put the GOP’s favorable rating at 28 percent, the lowest measure for either political party since Gallup started asking the question in 1992 — lower even than the GOP’s standing during the last government shutdowns in 1995 and 1996.

Ryan defended his approach on conservative commentator Bill Bennett’s radio show. “I don’t know that within the next two weeks we have a viable strategy for actually repealing Obamacare, every piece of it,” he said.

The conservative Heritage Action, which helped launch the strategy taken by tea party favorite Cruz, R-Texas, said any action short of a fight over the Affordable Care Act would be “detrimental.”

“Fundamentally, we are not supportive of anything that’s going to take the focus away from the current fight over Obamacare,” said Heritage’s Dan Holler.

“That’s where we think the fight needs to be — that’s where the fight is.”

At the same time, top conservatives, especially those tired of the Cruz-led campaign, heaped praise on Ryan as the party’s expert on fiscal issues. “Excellent piece by @RepPaulRyan on a path forward,” tweeted Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., once a leader among House conservatives.

But two-term Rep. Mo Brooks, a Republican from Alabama, called Ryan’s brief presentation before the House GOP’s conservative caucus Wednesday “very generic” and walked away undecided on whether he would sign on.

“The devil’s in the details,” Brooks said.

“Delaying socialized medicine — that is one way to delay one’s insolvency.”

AS BOEHNER struggled to find a cohesive strategy, the White House sought to amplify Obama’s willing-

ness to negotiate with Congress once it passes bills to end the shutdown and avert a default. The president invited every Republican in the House to meet with him today at the White House. He held a similar session with Democrats on Wednesday.

Boehner, however, decided to limit the White House session to a few top House Republicans.

One GOP leadership aide said that a broader meeting would be little more than a “photo op.”

The decision “disappointed” Obama, the White House spokesman said. “The president thought it was important to talk directly with the members who forced this economic crisis on the country about how the shutdown and a failure to pay the country’s bills could devastate the economy,” said White House Press Secretary Jay Carney.

Obama has refused to engage in serious talks until Republicans agree to reopen the government and raise the debt limit. “The president will talk to anyone any time and looks forward to their visit to the White House, but will not pay the Republicans ransom for doing their job,” Carney said.

Splinters among Democrats, who have publicly maintained an unusually united front, also emerged Wednesday, as liberals warned against budget talks that could result in steep cuts to cherished government programs.

Rep. Raul M. Grijalva, D-Ariz., co-chairman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, has called those fears “grand bargain paranoia.”

Debt limit damage no joke WASHINGTON (AP) — Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew today urged Congress to raise the government’s borrowing limit before Oct. 17, warning that a Republican idea to prioritize payments with cash on hand could cause “irrevocable damage” to the U.S. economy.

In testimony before the Senate Finance Committee, Lew said that trying to make such perilous choices between paying veterans or Social Security checks is not a good option and risks the first default on U.S. debt in history. He repeated the administration’s demand that Congress pass legislation needed to end a partial government shutdown and raise the country’s $16.7 trillion borrowing limit.

Sen. Orrin Hatch, RUtah, accused the Obama

s ’ g n i l Bo l

g n i r e t Ca “Fro m Sim ple Bu ffet To Pla ted Go u rm et”

Administration of intentionally scaring the public and financial markets over the borrowing limit, “in an apparent effort to whip up uncertainty in the markets.”

Hatch said the administration was refusing to “even have a conversation” over reducing Social Security and Medicare benefits.

Lew said that the government’s payment systems were not designed to allow him to pick and choose which bills to pay.

He said the government’s computer systems issue around 80 million payments each month.

“Prioritization is just default by another name,” Lew said.

Lew said default would cause serious damage as outlined in a report Treasury issued last week.

That report, Lew said, “points to the potentially catastrophic impacts of default, including credit market disruptions, a significant loss in the value of the dollar, markedly elevated U.S. interest rates, negative spillover effects to the global economy and real risk of a financial crisis and recession that oculd echoe the events of 2008 or worse.”

In 2008, a serious financial crisis pushed the country into the deepest recession since the 1930s.

Mustangs look to right ship

By RICHARD LUKEN richard@iolaregister.com

The good news for Iola High’s Mustangs is that last week’s 28-7 loss to Central Heights, in the long run, may not mean much.

Iola still has an opportunity to grab at least a share of the Pioneer League championship — and more importantly — head into district play the following week on a high note, if the Mustangs can defeat visiting Wellsville Friday.

Doing so, however, may be easier said than done.

“Wellsville runs pretty much the exact same offense and defense Central Heights does, except Wellsville probably runs it better,” Iola head coach Doug Kerr said.

12th-ranked Cavaliers too much for Red Devils

A pair of first-half breakdowns against visiting Johnson County Community College’s relentless attacks put the Allen Community College women’s soccer team in a hole they couldn’t escape Wednesday.

The Red Devils were peppered with Johnson County shots from a number of an-

gles. The visiting Cavaliers took the lead for good when Brooklyn Meinke scored on a breakaway just over 20 minutes into the match.

Another goal 14 minutes later on a free kick put Johnson County up 2-0.

Allen men fall to Johnson County

By RICHARD LUKEN richard@iolaregister.com

In the enigma that is collegiate sports, Allen Community College’s soccer team had a rough first half, but still stayed even with visiting Johnson County in a scoreless tie.

But even as the Red Devils improved their energy level after intermission, it wasn’t enough to stop the visiting

Cavaliers, who scored the game’s only goal on a rebound triggered by a free kick with less than 10 minutes left on the clock.

The resulting 1-0 loss drops Allen to 2-4 in Jayhawk Conference play and 4-6 overall.

“Our energy level was terrible in the first half,” Allen head coach Doug Desmarteau said. “It was like we were just going through the motions.”

Even so, Allen had a handful of scoring opportunities early on, but was unable to get the ball past Johnson goalkeeper Sam Sizemore.

“Their goalkeeper did a good job in the air,” Desmarteau said.

The game stayed scoreless until Allen was called for a foul with just under 10 minutes left in the game. The See ACC | Page B6

COFFEYVILLE — Allen Community College found itself traveling a familiar road Wednesday, in more ways than one.

The Red Devils were in Coffeyville for the second time in four days, facing the host Red Ravens after competing over the weekend at the Coffeyville Spikefest.

And much like several of their tournament matches, the Red Devils started quickly, but this time beat their tendency to falter in the second and third sets.

Trailing 2 sets to 1, the Red Devils bounced back to win a thrilling fourth set, 25-23, then captured the tiebreaker,

15-11, to secure the match.

Allen’s 25-23, 18-25, 14-25, 25-23, 15-11 victory put the Red Devils at 17-10 overall and 4-3 in Region VI and Jayhawk Conference play.

The key, Allen head coach Jessica Peters said, was the Red Devils’ response to falling behind.

“We literally gave away sets 2 and 3 on serve receive errors, attack errors and serving errors,” Peters said.

“It forced us to admit that we just needed to let go and play.”

Halley Scott spearheaded the fourth-set comeback with a seven-point service run.

Lizzy Huey and Adriee Mu-

noz each put together threepoint runs in the tiebreaker.

“If we broke the stats down by attacks per set, you see that Andonae (Magdziarz), Sidney (Keith) and Lizzy all became effective for us in set 4, with 20 total kills. They remained effective in the fifth set, with 10 total kills, with Huey sealing the fifth-set win with a kill. What a match!”

Keith led the way with 18 kills to go with 14 digs, a pair of solo blocks and 21.5 points overall. Magdziarz followed with 14 kills, while Huey had 13 kills, two solo blocks and 16.5 points. Munoz had 44 set See DEVILS | Page B2

Safety never felt so good

to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-1 on Wednesday night, advancing to the NL championship series.

Wainwright scattered eight hits in his second dominant win of the division series, coming through for the Cardinals in a winnertake-all Game 5.

St. Louis gets to stay at home to open the NLCS against the well-rested Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night.

The last three seasons, the Cardinals are 8-1 when facing elimination.

They also won Game 5 of the NL division series at Washington last year and at Philadelphia in 2011.

Freese homered in the second inning off rookie Gerrit Cole and Adams connected in the eighth against reliever Mark Melancon to make it 5-1. Pete Kozma added an RBI infield single, and Wainwright finished it off by striking out Pedro Alvarez with two on.

Alvarez became the first player with an RBI in his first six postseason games on a fluke hit that car-

Allen: Red Devils fall to Johnson Co. Continued from B1

show for it in a 3-0 loss.

The defeat drops Allen to 4-4 in Jayhawk Conference action and 6-6 overall.

Despite the shutout loss, Allen head coach Jeremy McGinnis saw signs of improvement, noting Johnson County came into Wednesday’s matchup as the 12th ranked team in the country. In addition, Allen lost to the Cavaliers by a collective 29-1 over their

four previous meetings. “Things are always going to be tough against teams like Johnson,�

McGinnis said. “Games like this show we’re getting better. We were able to play with one of the best teams in the country in the second half, and we had a couple of good scoring opportunities early on.�

Johnson’s Courtney Hughes scored two minutes into the second half to boost the Cavalier

lead to 3-0 and effectively seal the win.

But Allen didn’t go quietly, possessing the ball through much of the final 40 minutes. “Now, we need to take the next step,� McGinnis said. “You can control the ball and move it

back and forth a lot, but it doesn’t mean much if you can’t score with it.�

Goalkeeper Keelie Arbuckle racked up 11 saves, several coming in the frenetic first half.

Allen travels to Dodge City for its next contest at 1 p.m. Sunday.

subsequent free kick led to a scrum in front of Red Devil goalkeeper Chase Tonkin, who was unable to secure the rebound before the ball was punched into the net.

“At that point, 1-0 was the same as 6-0,” Desmarteau said.

“There was no reason to hold back at that point.”

The Red Devils had a pair of corner kicks in the waning moments, but Sizemore was there each time for the follow-up shots on goal, including one with just under a minute left in regulation.

“We need to figure out a way to get better,” Desmarteau said.

“We tend to play to the level of our opponent.”

Tonkin racked up five saves in the match.

Allen resumes play at 3:30 p.m. Sunday in Dodge City.

Mustangs: Wellsville poses challenges Continued from B1

sponded to the challenge,” Kerr continued.

“But we won’t know if we did that until Friday.

Then, we’ll find out pretty quickly.”

The 3-2 Mustangs will host the 4-1 Eagles at 7 p.m. Friday at Riverside Park.

Wellsville coach Brad Burkdoll expects a pair of evenly matched teams to slug it out from the opening kickoff to the final gun.

Wellsville brings in a powerful offense capable of controlling the clock, or breaking a big play every now and then.

Leading the charge are Wellsville’s running back duo of Brett Osbern and Luke Meyer.

Even with the classification switch, a slim chance remained Iola could still face the Blue Comets.

“But the only open week we had was week 3,” said IHS athletics director Martin Bambick.

“They only had week 1 and week 2 open.”

And neither school was willing to forego a league game to face a non-league, nondistrict opponent instead, Bambick said.

Iola will see several new opponents next season.

Added to the 2014 schedule are Santa Fe Trail, Labette County, Burlington and Girard, replacing Chanute, Fort Scott, Cherryvale and Field Kindley of Coffeyville.

Burlington, Girard and Anderson County will join Iola’s football district.

Osbern has rushed for 660 yards on the season, averaging more than 9 yards per rush, with nine touchdowns. Meyer, meanwhile, is coming off his best game of the season, a 112-yard rushing effort in Wellsville’s 27-0 win over Anderson County.

The Eagle air attack is keyed by quarterback Shamus Kearney, who averages nearly 11 yards per pass attempt and has tossed five touchdown passes with only a single interception.

Osbern, Meyer and Carter Mann are his favorite targets.

Wellsville carries a four-game winning streak into Friday, outscoring its opponents

119-26 in the process.

Wellsville coach Brad Burkdoll expects Iola to respond favorably to the challenge of coming off a loss.

“Iola is a well-coached team, with a lot of team speed,” Burkdoll said.

“They’re able to spread the ball around, so we’ll have to stay focused and tackle well.

“The big plays for us will be on third down,” he continued. “Central Heights did a good job of possessing the ball against Iola by converting those third downs.”

Turnovers also will be key, both coaches agreed.

Iola won three of its first four by holding on to the ball, but lost four turnovers in the Central

Heights defeat.

Health-wise, Iola will once again be without the services of starting inside linebacker Keenan Badders, who has missed the last three games.

Lineman Eric Maxwell should return after missing the Viking game.

“Losing Keenan has hurt us a lot,” Kerr said.

“He did a great job the first two games of the season for us.”

Kerr said a few lineup changes may be in store as well.

“Not necessarily who is starting, but we may play some guys more on defense if they’re doing well,” he said.
