Top general swept up in Petraeus scandal “ The president remains focused in fully supWASHINGTON — Congress returned from its election break Tuesday to grapple with the shocking resignation of former CIA Director David Petraeus in a sex scandal that widened to possibly taint the Marine general who commands U.S.-led forces in Afghanistan.

The unexpected turn of events prompted President Barack Obama to put on hold his nomination of Marine Gen. John Allen to be the top NATO commander in Europe, pending the outcome of a Pentagon investigation into “inappropriate� emails that U.S. defense officials said Allen had sent to a central figure in the scandal, which was ignited

by Petraeus’ admission to an extramarital affair.

The White House said that Obama retained his faith in Allen, who is in the midst of developing a plan for the gradual withdrawal of U.S.-led international

forces from Afghanistan by the end of 2014. “The president remains focused on fully supporting our extraordinary troops and coalition partners in Afghanistan who General Allen continues to lead as he has done so ably for over a year,� said White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, adding that the president “believes he’s doing and has done an excellent job.�

SOME

LAWMAKERS,

however, expressed dismay at reports that Allen was able to exchange more than 20,000 documents and emails with Tampa, Fla., socialite Jill Kelley, even as he oversaw the longest war in the nation’s history. “It’s hard to imagine you can manage an agency or run a theater of war while sending or getting so many emails, if that’s what actually occurred,� Sen. Richard Durbin of Illinois, the Senate’s No. 2 Democrat, told McClatchy Newspapers.

Levin, D-Mich., who agreed to Obama’s request to delay Allen’s nomination hearing, which had been set for Thursday, also said he was “kind of surprised by the number of emails, but until the ... investigation concludes, I don’t want to prejudge it.�

The committee, however, will proceed with the confirmation hearing of Marine Gen. Joseph F. Dunford to take over from Allen as commander in Afghanistan. The handover is not expected before March.

In a related development, Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said that she intended to

summon Petraeus back into the spotlight to answer questions about the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi. It resulted in the deaths of the U.S. ambassador to Libya, two CIA contract security guards and a State Department staffer. The committee hasn't decided when he would be called, she told McClatchy Newspapers. “Of course I’m dismayed,� Feinstein said. “It’s a difficult situation.

We’re trying to be responsible.�

Carney said that it was “up to Congress to make decisions about who is called to testify.�

FSA election is under way

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is lobbying business and labor groups to support $1.6 trillion in new revenue to avoid an impending fiscal cliff, telling the two sides he remains committed to requiring the wealthy to pay more in taxes.

Obama was meeting today with about a dozen business executives as the White House and Congress face a series of expiring tax cuts and across-the-board spending cuts scheduled to

take effect because lawmakers failed to reach a deal to reduce the federal debt.

Business groups want an agreement before the end of the year, warning that the uncertainty could roil the financial markets and harm the economic recovery.

White House press secretary Jay Carney said the president would bring to the table a proposal for $1.6 trillion in new taxes on business and the wealthy when he begins discussions with congressional Republicans, a figure that Obama outlined in his most

recent budget plan. The targeted revenue is twice the amount Obama discussed with Republican leaders during debt talks during the summer of 2011.

Carney said the figure, combined with $1.1 trillion in spending cuts already signed into law, would reduce deficits by $4 trillion.

The White House meeting with CEOs follows a gathering of labor leaders and liberal groups Tuesday

in which participants said Obama remained clear that he would push for his campaign pledge of making the wealthiest Americans pay more in taxes. “We’re prepared to stand up to make sure there is shared sacrifice here, so the rich actually start paying their fair share and the middle class don't get soaked for that,� said AFLCIO President Richard Trumka.

C H I C AG O — Fo r m e r U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert has conducted private business ventures through a little-known government office that has cost taxpayers about $1.8 million, a Chicago Tribune investigation has found.

Federal law allows former House speakers to maintain a governmentfinanced office for up to five years to wind down matters relating to their tenure.

They are not permitted to use the office for financial gain.

But the Tribune found that a secretary in the exspeaker’s government office used e-mail to coordinate some of his private business meetings and travel, and conducted research on one proposed venture.

A suburban Chicago businessman who was involved in the business ventures with Hastert said he met with Hastert at least three times in the government office to discuss the projects.

A government watchdog group, told of the Tribune’s findings, called for an ethics investigation into Hastert’s use of the Office of the Former Speaker in west suburban Yorkville.

Hastert, an Illinois Republican, said he did not misuse the office. “I didn’t work on any private business out of there,” he said.

Hastert, 70, spent nearly

views and dozens of emails link the Office of the Former Speaker to J. David John, a Burr Ridge businessman who made six of the e-mails public in a lawsuit in DuPage County against Wheaton College, a small, evangelical Protestant institution.

John, 48, and Hastert are both graduates of Wheaton.

John said in court papers that he met Hastert about 16 years ago, and both men wrestled at Wheaton and remain fans of the sport.

John graduated from Wheaton in 1985 and later earned a master’s degree from Columbia University and an MBA from the University of Chicago. He is the managing U.S. partner for

Hastert was to receive 7 to 10 percent of the managing partners’ proceeds from each project, John said in court papers. Hastert, though, said he did not have a contract to do business with John and was helping a friend.

Lisa Post, a secretary in the Office of the Former Speaker who handles Hastert’s schedule, was in contact with John on the projects. Post used the e-mail address lisapost@formerspeaker.org to communicate with John regarding his and Hastert’s business travels and meetings from 2008 through 2010.

In an email about the racetrack, Post asked John to call her at the Office of the Former Speaker and gave him an office cellular telephone number. “I talked with the Speaker about this project/trip and I wanted to pass on a few things to you,” she wrote in the Oct. 16, 2008, email.

Opinion

Deduction cap may be the key to a bipartisan deal Back in the bad old days when Bill Clinton was president, income taxes on the very rich were as high as 39.6 percent, although most of the Gotrocks only paid 36 percent on those final dollars of income.

Today the top rates are 33 percent and 35 percent.

That’s right, what all the fuss is about comes down to less than 5 percent. Granted, 5 percent of $100 million is a lot of money, but the nation’s billionaires managed to scrape through while Clinton was in the White House and had enough left after appeasing the IRS to create jobs like crazy. There is every reason to believe that the country would survive — even flourish — if the top rates were allowed to rise on Jan. 1 as part of a deal to keep the economy from toppling off the fiscal cliff.

But if that rational step won’t be allowed because of the Republican Party’s new religion, then maybe Mitt Romney’s cap on deductions will prove acceptable. Romney proposed a $35,000 hard cap on deductions as part of the restructuring necessary to allow him his 20 percent acrossthe-board income tax cut. If he fleshed out his proposal to make his tax cut income neutral, I missed it, but the cap on deductions is so appealing that Democrats have signed on.

A $35,000 cap would have zero effect on most American families. Only the affluent — those who can afford it — can write off that much in deductible expenses in a year. But it would be a serious tax hike for the very rich — for families like the Romneys, who give millions to their churches, to charities and their own foundations.

More to the point, adopting Romney’s proposal as part of a deficit-reducing deal would make it bipartisan by definition and should bring Republicans aboard.

Military spending should be reduced, too. With the Iraq

war over and the occupation of Afghanistan nearing an end, it should be possible to trim the Pentagon’s budget significantly while remaining strong enough to protect our interests worldwide. We are, after all, spending more on defense than the next 17 nations combined.

It would not be fair to put all of the reform burden on the military and the wealthy. The payroll tax holiday should also come to an end to pump more much-needed money into Social Security.

Enacted in 2010, the payroll tax break was designed to help pull a stagnant economy out of the doldrums by boosting consumer spending. The money came from taxes paid to fund Social Security, half of which is paid by employers and the other half by workers. For 2011 and 2012, the tax went from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent.

So for a family making $50,000, the tax break meant an extra $1,000.

The Bush tax cuts on the middle class also should be allowed to expire as soon as middle class incomes rise to their former levels in inflation-adjusted dollars as the economy recovers.

Across-the-board tax cuts threw the nation into deficit spending. It will take acrossthe-board increases to restore balanced budgets.

PERHAPS

PRESIDENT

Barack Obama’s convincing re-election will lighten the atmosphere in the Capitol and make progress possible. Senate Republicans can no longer say their main purpose is to make Obama a one-term president.

The House now will have every reason to govern well and earn re-election from a conflict-weary electorate. The president has fought his last campaign battle and can focus on bringing some of the nation’s daunting dilemmas to bay.

Twenty-thirteen may turn out to be our nation’s lucky year.

No more stalling on immigration reform Voices from both sides of the aisle in Washington are embracing comprehensive immigration reform as an area where Congress in coming months can and should find common ground.

It is a welcome — and long overdue — undertaking.

On Friday, Republican House Speaker John Boehner told reporters that the issue had “been around too long” and needed to be “dealt with.” He said he was confident that parties in Washington could “find the common ground to take care of this issue once and for all.”

That Latino voters overwhelmingly supported Barack Obama last week is no doubt one reason many Republicans are showing renewed interest in the issue.

Obama’s performance with Latino voters was the best for a Democratic candidate since 1996, according to the Pew Hispanic Center. The importance of the Latino vote was most evident in the so-called swing states, where the group comprises a growing proportion of the electorate. In Colorado, for example, exit polls found 14 percent of voters this year were Latino, up from 13 per-

We have long supported securing the border with Mexico as one of the first steps that should be taken as part of a reform agreement. Others include a path to citizenship for law-abiding immigrants already in the country, passage of the DREAM Act, creation of an effective guest-worker program, and improved use of the Secure Communities and E-verify programs, which help businesses and law enforcement determine whether someone is in the country illegally.

Sens. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said over the weekend they would restart their efforts to forge a bipartisan compromise that addresses many of those points.

“And I think we have a darned good chance using this blueprint to get something done this year.

The Republican Party has learned that being ... anti-immigrant

doesn’t work for them politically.

And they know it,” Schumer said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

But the notion that this is the lone issue for Latino voters — or that they march in lockstep politically — is oversimplification.

Throughout the election season, “jobs and the economy” ranked as the top issue for Latino voters.

Other issues of concern included education and health care.

As they take on a revamp of immigration policy, politicians looking to appeal to Latino voters would do well to keep those issues in mind as well.

If last week’s electoral outcome is the tipping point for finally addressing the issue, we’re pleased to see it.

But to do it right, lawmakers must think about it in terms of the country’s overall economic well-being as opposed to simply scoring political points.

When the dust settled Tuesday on a nearly year-long battle over whether to expand Hutchinson’s anti-discrimination ordinance to include sexual orientation, the clear victory went to those groups that opposed the measure.

But the clear winners were those who supported the change.

Sure, there remains no ordinance on the books to protect gays and lesbians against discrimination — and thanks to state statute it will remain that way in Hutchinson and Salina for at least the next 10 years. For the next decade, the gay community will continue to have no recourse in the face of discrimination. That, however, is nothing new.

The ordinance’s supporters are winners because the vote brought to the surface an issue that previously had remained hidden, and unspoken, in the heart of one of the most conservative states in the Union.

They’re winners because nearly 42 percent of Hutchinson voters sided with them, in the face of an active and vocal resistance from the juggernaut of Hutchinson’s religious community, which included scores of Hutchinson churches handing out or displaying “Vote No” literature for their congregants.

They’re winners because even though national estimates put the adult gay population at between 2 and 8 percent, they managed to win the support of more than 40 percent of Hutchinson voters.

The victors of this election were the losers, because they pointed out the outright lies

The ordinance’s supporters are winners because the vote brought to the surface an issue that previously had remained hidden, and unspoken, in the heart of one of the most conservative states in the Union. about the nature of the ordinance.

Throughout months of debate, they never let go of the clearly misleading statements that an expanded anti-discrimination ordinance would force churches to hold gay weddings or that they’d be forced to allow gay parties at their facilities.

Additionally, opponents resorted to a “bathroom” argument that preyed on residents’ fears but was patently untrue.

The anti-discrimination ordinance’s opponents can take satisfaction in Tuesday night’s victory and feel good about protecting the

advance of something they genuinely believe threatens their way of life.

In the long run, however, the night belonged to the ordinance’s supporters.

They used the legislative process to spark a dialogue and raise awareness about gays in Hutchinson. And with the odds stacked against them in what easily could be considered hostile territory, they managed to win far more voter support than could’ve been expected a year ago, when discussion first began.

City council members also separated the responsibilities of city attorney and city prosecutor.

Carl Slaugh, city administrator, said many cities have a separation of duties between the city attorney and city prosecutor.

Mayor Bill Shirley said the applicant pool will be re-opened for the prosecutor position to be filled. He said he hopes to see the prosecutor selected by December.

“I think the council has done the right thing,” Shirley said, “it was really a win-win situation for the city.”

He said there often can be conflicts of interest between a prosecutor and attorney, and he believes splitting the responsibility between two positions will help alleviate that possibility.

employees now will have the ability to use grant funds to purchase new safety equipment, regardless of frozen funds in the city.

Fire Chief Donald Leapheart came before the council to explain that much of the firefighters’ equipment was used past the point of being considered safe, including many of the mens’ boots.

“Is the equipment an issue,” Leapheart said, “Yes, it really is.”

After discussion from the council, a decision was reached to release funds available from IFD grants to be used for new bunker equipment. Budget freezes

are in place for city organizations in order to remain on target for the year, however, the council agreed the grant funds would not be directly adding to the budget.

Council member Steve French brought up the subject of the firefighters union, saying that communication would be more open in such an arrangement. He said the overall cost to the city for a pair of boots would be $15, and if a union were in place, small purchases for the men would not be such an issue.

Weiner talked in terms

of Embridge widening it to 40 feet; King thought 80 feet would be better.

Israeli airstrike kills Hamas militant chief

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — An Israeli airstrike killed the commander of the military wing of Gaza’s Hamas rulers today, Hamas officials and Israel confirmed, in a dramatic resumption of Israel’s policy of assassinating Palestinian militant leaders.

Israeli military officials, speaking on condition of anonymity under army regulations, said Jabari was identified by “precise intelligence” gathered over several months.

Advocates say targeted killings are an effective deterrent without the complications associated with a ground operation, chiefly civilian and Israeli troop casualties. Proponents argue they also prevent future attacks by removing their masterminds.

US considers foreign policy changes

By PAUL RICHTER Tribune Washington Bureau (MCT)

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration has begun to reassess its foreign policy on such topics as Iran, Syria, Afghanistan and missile defense, that were viewed as too politically sensitive for any substantial shifts during the presidential campaign.

For months, these issues had what some U.S. officials called “AE” status, meaning any policy changes would be put off until after the election.

But with O b a m a winning a second term last week, top administration o f f i c i a l s Barack Obama say they are considering whether to deepen U.S. involvement in Syria’s civil war, accelerate the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, and offer Iran a compromise deal to curb its enrichment of uranium.

They also are considering how to work out new cooperation with China, an undertaking that Obama campaign operatives had feared might alienate swing-state voters anxious about Chinese trade policies and competition.

The administration already is taking a new direction on the worsening Syrian conflict, which threatens to spread turmoil and refugees across the Middle East. After months of trying to limit the U.S. role, administration officials said they have begun trying to help reshape the civilian-led rebel movement so it can better defend itself against heavily armed military forces loyal to President Bashar Assad.

The opposition formed

a new umbrella group over the weekend that was recognized Monday by six Persian Gulf states as the “legitimate representative” of the rebels.

Since the conflict began early last year, the Obama administration has resisted pressure to deepen collaboration with the opposition, and has refused to supply heavy weapons to its fighters. Advocates of that approach, including some top U.S. officials, argue that unless Washington and its allies strengthen and better organize the insurgents, the administration could see Syria taken over by dangerous militants, or a victory by Assad that would strengthen his Iranian allies.

Many U.S. officials are determined to steer clear of even low-level military involvement or support for the rebels, partly because of the risk that extremists would obtain U.S. weapons. But officials acknowledge that the policy is getting another look.

International talks about Iran's disputed nuclear program were suspended last summer by mutual consent.

The White House didn’t want to appear too conciliatory, and Iranian officials thought they couldn't negotiate an acceptable deal while Obama was running for re-election.

Now both sides are signaling a willingness to talk one-on-one, or as part of the six-nation negotiating group that held three meetings with Iran this year. Negotiations could resume as soon as this month.

The talks could raise a controversial proposal that many analysts believe is key to any solution: allowing Iran to conduct low-level uranium enrichment for peaceful purposes, as permitted under international treaty, but with tough international safeguards and monitoring to

ensure that it doesn't use the program to make weapons.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and other top administration officials have spoken favorably of this idea, but the White House barred discussion of it during the campaign.

In Afghanistan, the administration is embroiled in deliberations on whether to front-load the departure of the 68,000 remaining U.S. combat troops. Though the last U.S. troops won't leave until the end of 2014, some administration officials want to start the withdrawal early next year. Some senior military officials are seeking a delay, arguing that they need the full complement for next year's fighting season.

Kansas State blasts past Alabama-Huntsville Details B2

Local hunter bags rare wild bull elk

By RICHARD LUKEN richard@iolaregister.com

HUMBOLDT — Iolan John Kress knew the hefty wild bull elk was out there.

“It was just a matter of keeping quiet about it,” Kress said Tuesday morning, one day after he bagged the behemoth bull.

“It’s the first elk I’ve ever shot,” Kress said of the animal, estimated at more than 650 pounds.

While a free-ranging herd of

wild elk are kept on the Fort Riley Military Reservation in northcentral Kansas, they are considered extremely rare and difficult to locate in other parts of the state.

“We assume this one came from Fort Riley,” said Bill Stange, who owns the land on which Kress bagged the elk.

Rec center nearer reality

By BOB JOHNSON bob@iolaregister.com

Rick Vink and Kevin Sullivan want to open a computer-enhanced recreation center in Iola

by Jan. 1. Allen County commissioners said Tuesday they were eager to accommodate the development.

“Let’s get it done,” said Commission Chairman Dick Works, after commissioners acknowledged they couldn’t move forward

until an old warehouse just north of the county’s Critical Response Center is appraised.

That’s a concern, Vink said, noting they need a handle on what their financial commitments will be before they can arrange financing.

The building has been vacant for months, except for storage of county and Iola vehicles. The See REC | Page B2

67-64 upset of No. 7 Kansas on Tuesday night.

“The offense was kind of stagnant, so I wanted to make a play the best way I possible could,” said Appling, who led Michigan State with 19 points. “From there, it was all she wrote.”

The Spartans (1-1) opened with a surprising loss to Connecticut on the other side of the Atlantic.

Their road show moved from

Germany to a doubleheader at the Georgia Dome — site of this season’s Final Four — featuring four of the nation’s best teams.

No. 9 Duke defeated No. 3 Kentucky 75-68 in the second game.

Red Devil squads fall to Pratt PRATT — As far as losses go, Tuesday’s defeat “was tough to stomach,” Allen Community College women’s coach Mark James said.

The Red Devils were a beyondfrigid 2 of 20 from 3-point range, while shooting 26 percent from the floor and missing 16 free throws.

That they lost Tuesday evening by only three points to host Pratt Community College, 57-54, makes the loss even more frustrating, James said in an email.

“It was a frustrating night for the players and coaching staff alike,” James said. “Any time you leave an arena with a loss when there is not any doubt in your mind you were the better

team, it’s difficult.”

Despite the team’s dismal offensive showing, Allen’s defense kept the Red Devils within shouting distance throughout the contest, James said.

Allen missed on a pair of possessions in the game’s waning seconds, when the Red Devils had an opportunity to either tie or take the lead, James said.

Pratt led 26-17 at the break.

Allen was led by DaNara Day with 17 points, followed by Miracle Davis with 10 points, seven rebounds, four assists and three steals. Hannah Blackwell pulled in eight rebounds with four steals. Ebonie Jones also had four steals.

The Red Devils (2-2) have little

time to mope. They travel to the Dodge City Classic Friday and Saturday to take on two more Jayhawk Western Conference foes. Allen takes on host Dodge City at 6 p.m. Friday and Garden City at 2 p.m. Saturday.

The Red Devil men also fell Tuesday, dropping a 73-64 loss.

Trap shoot on target Golden is golden ELSMORE — The sixth annual Eastern Kansas Youth Trap Shoot drew young sportsmen from across the area to the Lone Tree Gun Club Oct. 27.

Matt Jacobs of Iola was the top marksman in the 13-16-year-old division. Jacobs broke 23 of 25 targets, winning a two-way shootoff, to claim the trophy.

Chase Jaro of Humboldt was the top marksman in the 12-and-under division, hitting 16 of 25 clay targets.

“The event was started six years ago to help promote the sport of trap shooting and hunting,” organizer Richard Diehl said.

“It has been very successful in providing youngsters with gun safety and competition shooting.”

Several volunteers and financial donors contributed to the event, Diehl said.

Each competitor shot 25 clay targets for practice and another 25 during the competition.

The trap shoot was held once again at the Lone Tree Gun Club near Elsmore, which is owned and operated by Ron Wrestler and is open to the public.

Each competitor also received a prize at the conclusion of the event.

The young shooters return to the gun club Wednesday evenings and Sunday afternoons for practice or regular competitions.

Several also have advanced to compete at the the Grand American Trap Shoot in Sparta, Ill.

KSU wins in romp MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Kansas State never really expected to play Alabama-Huntsville on Tuesday night.

New coach Bruce Weber sent his team home following a victory over Lamar the previous night, roughly at halftime of the Division II school’s game against North Texas. When the Chargers upset the Mean Green, it left the Wildcats scrambling to put together a game plan.

Turns out they didn’t need one.

Shane Southwell had 16 points to lead four players in double-figure scoring, and Kansas State rolled over Alabama-Huntsville 87-26 to reach the semifinals of the NIT Season Tip-Off. The 61-point margin of victory matched a school record set in 1991.

“We didn’t really get together until about 2:30 this afternoon,” Weber said.

“The players did a good job. We spent about an hour and a half learning how to guard them.”

It looked like they had spent months.

Kansas State (3-0) raced out to a 19-2 lead over Alabama-Huntsville (2-1), stretched it to 47-11 by the break, and pushed the advantage to 50 by midway through the second half before coasting down the stretch to its 38th consecutive non-conference win at Bramlage Coliseum.

The Chargers, who upset North Texas the previous night for arguably the biggest win in school history, didn’t have any player score more than four points. They committed 14 turnovers, shot 16.4 percent from the field and were a ghastly 3 of 33 from beyond the 3-point arc.

Alabama-Huntsville barely eclipsed the record for fewest points by an opponent inside Kansas State’s on-campus arena.

Savannah State scored 25 points during the 2008 season.

“Obviously it was the perfect storm tonight. We hit a buzz-saw in every way,” Alabama-Huntsville coach Lennie Acuff said. “It was what I was concerned about coming in.”

tight all the way. But Michigan State rallied behind its brilliant guards.

“We did some good things,” Kansas coach Bill Self said. “It’s just that games are decided in the last five minutes. And they were better in the last five.”

Freshman Gary Harris scored 18 points for the Spartans, including back-to-back baskets that sparked an 8-0 run. Appling, who averaged 11.4 points last season, took over from there.

He 6-foot-1 junior picked up a screen, darted away when 7-footer Jeff Withey popped out to help, then wound up with an open look from beyond the arc when Withey turned back for the lane and got tangled up with his own man.

Appling’s shot from the top of the circle was right on the mark, pushing the lead to 65-61 with 1:35 remaining.

Ben McLemore gave Kansas a chance, converting a three-point play after a needless foul by Denzel Valentine. But Appling drove

past Withey at the other hand with a left-handled dribble, cradled the ball and banked in a shot between two defenders with 13.5 seconds to go.

That left Kansas with no choice but to try a 3. Travis Releford got a look as time expired, but his shot clanked off the side of the rim.

Elijah Johnson led Kansas with 16 points. Withey, who played so well in last season’s NCAA tournament, wasn’t much of a factor against the Spartans.

He was held to eight points and seven rebounds, along with four turnovers.

But the senior guard also missed a big jumper in the closing minutes and felt he let his team down.

Jayhawks before the break.

In the other contest, Duke was paced by senior guard Seth Curry’s 23 points in its win over the Wildcats.

The Blue Devls led 5844 before Kentucky rallied with a 17-6 run over the next six minutes.

Curry responded with a driving layup to extend Duke’s lead to 66-61.

for Lady Lancers

MORAN — Miranda Golden was a dominant force inside Tuesday for Crest Middle School’s girls.

Golden outscored Marmaton Valley Junior High by herself, 26 points to 25, in the Lancers’ 40-25 victory.

Rachel Godderz added 10 points, while Karlee Hammond and Taryn Covey scored four points apiece.

Marmaton Valley was paced by Misty Storrer’s 10 points, followed by Nalea Alexander with eight, Kyla Drake with five and Makayla Brooks with two.

“The girls played a great defensive game,” Wildcat coach Kim Ensminger said. “It’s difficult to stop a player that is a head taller than everybody else. Golden is a good player. We had a lot of open shots that just didn’t fall tonight.”

Crest led 15-3 after one quarter and 21-9 at the break. Marmaton Valley closed the gap to 27-19 after three quarters before the Lady Lancers pulled away down the stretch.

In B team action, Trinitee Gutierrez hit the winning bucket at the buzzer, 26-24.

“This was a fast-moving ball game,” Ensminger said.

The winning basket came when Makayla Brooks rebounded the ball and passed it to Gutierrez, who drove the length of the court before hitting the buzzer-beater.

Shayla Brooks led the Wildcats with 12 points.

Gutierrez had seven.

Makayla Brooks scored four and Megan Ensminger three.

Godderz paced the Crest B team with 15 points.

Makayla Jones had four points, Jewel Armstrong three and Cameron Strickler two.

In boys action, Crest edged past the Wildcats 31-29 in the A team contest, while Marmaton Valley won 28-13 in the B team affair.

The A team game “was close for all four quarters,” Wildcat coach Scott Brady said. “We just fell a little short. We had a couple really tough calls at the end, and we didn’t play good enough defense when it mattered.”

Gage Adams scored 17 points to lead the Lancers.

Carter Messenger, Nate Berry and Caleb Stephens followed with four apiece.

Austin Henrdix scored two.

Justice Pugh led the Wildcat A team with 15 points. Trevor Wilson added eight points. Ethan Tavarez, Brock Hall and Tony Jefferis scored two points each.

In the B team matchup, Crest led 10-8 before Marmaton Valley went on a 20-3 run in the second half.

“The boys kind of sleptwalked through the first half, but came out firing after half and played a great 12 minutes of basketball,” Brady said.

Derek Nixon and Brock Hall shared high-scoring honors for Marmaton Valley with eight points.

Kiefer Endicott scored six, while Colby Nelson, Jefferis and Korbin Smith scored two apiece.

Individual statistics for Crest’s B team were unavailable.

roof needs extensive repairs and its heating likely needs attention or replacement.

What is likely to unfold is a two-year lease-topurchase agreement that may have Vink and Sullivan making repairs to the building, with what they spend taken into consideration when purchase is negotiated.

Vink mentioned $300 a month as rent. Commissioners made no estimate and asked County Counselor Alan Weber to consult real estate agents to determine appraisal and suggested rent.

“I want to make this work,” said Commissioner Gary McIntosh, as discussion of the building and its potential continued.

“I think we’ll be busy” once the center opens, Vink said,. “And we want to be in Iola and not Chanute,” where another building may be available.

Hours open will depend on how much equipment is installed, in part to be determined by financial arrangements the two men can make.

“If we have a golf simulator, we’d probably be open during the day,” Vink said. “Otherwise, we’re looking at 3 to 9 p.m. (weekdays) and all day on Saturdays and Sundays.”

VINK GAVE a brief overview of the rec center’s potential offerings.

Baseball and softball simulators will have pitching machines that will be able to deliver a variety of pitches at different speeds, from those suited for young players through those involved in high school and beyond.

“We’ll be able to program the machine for a series of pitches, one a fastball, the next a curve and then another fastball,” Vink said. Also, pitches can be delivered high and tight, over the outside part of the plate or down the middle.

Coaches will be able to use video to analyze what their players need to work on, or even film a batter during a game and then replicate the experience during practice sessions at the center.

Vink said earlier more than 40 traveling teams operate from this area and that he thinks the hightech capabilities of the center will give local players an edge when they go against teams from larger communities.

Special training sessions, including those for individuals, will be taught

by Steve Murry, baseball coach at Neosho County Community College, and his son, Zach, who played professionally in the Colorado Rockies system.

H Elk Continued from B1

Stange’s property northwest of Humboldt because of the herd of elk he keeps as breeding stock.

Stange saw the bull roaming about his property earlier this fall, and quietly mentioned the

sighting to Kress, an avid sportsman.

They were careful not to let word spread further to avoid drawing other hunters to the area.

“After Bill told me, I went to get a tag for the wild bull elk, which is harder than it sounds,” Kress said, be-

cause the animals are so rare on private land.

Kress finally purchased the tag, through the assistance of Ben Womelsdorf, a game warden with the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks.

It took Kress about two weeks to spot the animal.

He shot it shortly before 5 p.m. Monday.

Certain it was a clean kill shot, Kress waited with Stange until sunrise Tuesday to find the animal, not far from where he hit it.

Kress used a 65-pound draw weight bow and a 100-grain arrow in his hunt.

Governors talk wind energy

By JEFF BARNARD and NICHOLAS RICCARDI Associated Press

The fate of a tax credit that advocates say is needed to maintain tens of thousands of wind energy jobs will be decided during high-stakes, lastminute negotiations between President Obama and House Republicans over fiscal issues, officials said Tuesday.

The wind energy production tax credit is due to expire at the end of the year. Its extension stalled in Congress this summer amid fierce opposition from some conservative House Republicans. The last chance to extend the measure is in the budget deal that will be cut between Obama and Republicans in the lame duck session of Congress.

Backers of the credit tried to ramp up pressure to extend the $12 billion break Tuesday with a teleconference featuring several governors, who noted that uncertainty over its fate has led to thousands of job losses across the country. A study by a wind energy group found that 37,000 jobs would be lost if the credit expires.

The credit’s supporters say the government has subsidized fossil fuels like oil for more than a century. Opponents argue it distorts the energy marketplace and leads to higher prices.

The credit was first signed by President George H.W. Bush and backed by a number of prominent Republicans.

But some conservative House Republicans objected to the extension of the latest form of the credit this summer, arguing it is

wasteful spending. Their cause was taken up by the party’s presidential nominee, Mitt Romney, who argued the credit should expire.

Still, Republicans governors Tom Branstad of Iowa and Sam Brownback of Kansas joined Democratic governors on Tuesday’s call urging the credit’s extension. They said they represented a bipartisan group of 28 governors who back the tax break. “It is time to turn the page on the recent election and work together to get Americans back to work,� Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber, a Democrat, said in a statement Rep. Mike Pompeo, RKan., who helped organize opposition to the wind tax credits, said the election results have emboldened him and other opponents to stand firm. “There was a discussion in a lot of races around the country, and I didn’t see a single race in which consumers were demanding higher electricity bills,� Pompeo said. He added his opponent had attacked his stance on the credit, but Pompeo ended up winning the race by more votes than during his first campaign in 2010.

Wind energy companies already have started shrinking their workforces in the face of the gridlock.

Danish wind turbine manufacturer Vestas has reduced its U.S. workforce by 20 percent. The company announced last week it plans to cut its global workforce by another 3,000 by the end of next year due to uncertainty over the tax credit.

Tigers to give birth WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — The odds are long but hopes are high at the Sedgwick County Zoo that two female tigers will give birth about four months from now.

KAKE-TV reports the 7-year-old Amur (AY’muhr) tigers underwent artificial insemination on Tuesday. The procedure was led by Bill Swanson, a

specialist from the Cincinnati Zoo in Ohio.

The donor and potential father-to-be is Ivan, the zoo’s 4-year-old male Amur tiger. The females, Talali and Zeya (tuh-LAH’lee and ZAY’-uh), roam the exhibit with Ivan but haven’t mated with him.

The cubs would stay in Wichita about a year, then be moved to other zoos.

Judge blocks use of voter names

By JOHN HANNA AP Political Writer

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A federal judge on Tuesday ordered candidates in a close Kansas House race not to contact voters who cast uncounted provisional ballots and set a hearing in a lawsuit that involves Secretary of State Kris Kobach and one of his most vocal critics.

U.S. District Judge J. Thomas Marten scheduled a hearing for Wednesday afternoon in Kobach’s lawsuit. It seeks to prevent Democratic state Rep. Ann Mah, Republican challenger Ken Corbet and their supporters from contacting as many as 131 voters who cast provisional ballots in the 54th House District in the Topeka area.

But ahead of the hearing, Marten agreed to prohibit the candidates from using voter names released to them by officials in Douglas and Shawnee counties. The 54th District includes parts of Shawnee, Douglas and Osage counties, but Osage County certified its local results Monday, reviewing provisional ballots without releasing voters’ names.

The Republican secretary of state initially sought to prevent officials in Shawnee County from releasing voter names to the

candidates, but his filing Friday in federal court was too late to prevent it.

He amended his lawKobach suit late Monday to block the candidates from using the names they’d received and included Douglas County in the lawsuit.

Mah trails Corbet by 44 votes out of nearly 10,700 cast, and she’s hoping to pick up enough votes from as-yet-uncounted provisional ballots to overcome Corbet’s lead. Both candidates hope to contact voters and help correct potential problems so that their ballots will be counted when the Douglas and Shawnee county commissioners certify results Thursday. “Everything’s on hold until we investigate what the options are,� Mah said.

Kobach, a former law professor, is known nationally for helping to draft laws in Arizona and Alabama cracking down on illegal immigration. He also pushed successfully in Kansas for a law requiring voters to show photo identification at the polls. Mah has repeatedly criticized him and the law, and a political

action committee formed

by Kobach spent $3,123 on a mailing boosting Corbet just days before the election.

Democrats contend Kobach is trying to eliminate Mah’s last, slim hope for winning, but Kobach said he’s trying to protect voters’ privacy. He also contends the disclosure of voters’ names would violate federal law.

Kobach said the judge signaled that he is “keenly aware of the privacy issue.� “The judge made it clear that this is an important concern,� he said.

Provisional ballots are cast when election workers aren’t sure people are eligible to vote at particular polling places, for reasons including the lack of a proper photo ID, a recent move or, for some women, a name change upon getting married. Each ballot is placed in an envelope and set aside for further review.

Kobach’s office sent two memos Thursday to county election officials, saying releasing voter names would violate a federal law that says: “Access to information about an individual provisional ballot shall be restricted to the individual who cast the ballot.�

But Douglas County had released the names of 27

Immigrant faces deportation in case

By ROXANA HEGEMAN Associated Press

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A legal immigrant who claims her family was killed in Mexico following her marijuana bust in Kansas will face deportation proceedings even though a judge ordered her release Tuesday on charges related to the drug case.

Norma Quintana fled the U.S. following the deaths of her relatives, and by doing so skipped her 2010 federal trial for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. Her attorney said she and her husband were quickly released following their arrest in that case, and that Quintana believes the owners of the seized drugs assumed that meant the couple was cooperating with authorities and attacked her family in retaliation.

Quintana, who has been in custody since she was arrested in April while trying to return to the U.S., was sentenced Tuesday to time served after pleading guilty to failing to appear at the trial. In exchange for the plea, prosecutors dropped the more serious drug charge.

However, Assistant U.S. Attorney Brent Anderson told the court that immigration authorities would immediately arrest Quintana upon her release. Although she is a legal U.S. resident, she can be deported because she has been convicted of an aggravated felony.

Her attorney unsuccess-

fully tried to convince federal officials not to file an immigration detainer, to allow her to be free while fighting her deportation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has been a legal resident here since she was a young child,â&#x20AC;? defense attorney Charles Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hara said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;But because she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show up in court, they want to send her back to Mexico where members of her family were killed and abducted.â&#x20AC;?

After the hearing, Anderson said the government agreed to drop the more serious drug charge because of what happened to her family. But he said she will still have to face the consequences of the conviction on her immigration case.

He said many drug trafficking cases in cases are connected to violent Mexican drug cartels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our fear is that, absent more aggressive enforcement on both sides of the border, it is only a matter of time before this type of violence shows up in the United States,â&#x20AC;? Anderson

said.

Quintana and her husband, Hector HernandezValdez, were initially charged in state court after authorities found 160 pounds of marijuana hidden inside the wheels of the Chevy pickup truck her husband was driving in Pratt County in February 2010, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hara said.

The couple was quickly released on bond in the state case, and the charges were later dismissed because federal prosecutors had filed their own drug charges a month later. Hernandez-Valdez also never appeared in court.

A defense filing shows Her nandez-Valdez, Quintanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son and Quintanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother were killed in Mexico while her drug case was pending. The U.S. attor neyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office said its infor mation indicates Quintanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husband and son were fatally shot in April 2010, though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unclear whether the killings were related to the criminal case in Kansas.

Quintana contends in court documents that her sister and another brother were abducted from their homes in Mexico and she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if they are still alive.

Anderson said Quintana and her husband didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cooperate with authorities, noting that the U.S. attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office received the case shortly before the killings.

voters to Mah just hours before. County Clerk Jamie Shew, a Democrat, said Tuesday that he and other county officials have been releasing such names for years, believing it was acceptable because the federal law is designed to prevent the disclosure of how people voted.

After Martenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s order, Shew said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will comply with whatever we are told to do.â&#x20AC;?

Shawnee County refused to release the names, but Mah filed a lawsuit in state district court to successfully force the disclosure.

Kobach filed his federal lawsuit hours later, but without a federal judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intervention, the state courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s order remained in effect, requiring Shawnee County to turn over the names.

Mah and Corbet received a two-page document by email, listing 104 names in no particular order, with no additional information.

The Associated Press later received the same list from a political source.

The issue is complicated by another lawsuit in Sedgwick County District Court filed by Democratic state Rep. Geraldine Flaharty of Wichita, who trails in her race. A judge there refused to order the release of voter names.

Schools reduce science TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A new report says elementary schools in Kansas and surrounding states have reduced, or even eliminated, science education in recent years to emphasize reading and math.

The Kansas State Board of Education was told Tuesday that one in five elementary teachers in Kansas and surrounding states are recording science grades even when they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t teach the subject.

George Griffith, superintendent of the Trego school district, says he surveyed more than 900 elementary schools in Kansas, Colorado, Missouri, Oklahoma and Nebraska.

Griffith said teachers surveyed said they reported science grades even when not teaching or drastically reducing class time on science.

They say they felt pressured to increase performance in reading and math.

The Lawrence Journal-World reports Griffith found just over 55 percent of the K-6 teachers decreased science education.

Man recants allegations of sex abuse NEW YORK (AP) — The man who accused Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clash of having sex with him when he was a teen now says it isn't so.

The man now says his relationship with Clash was adult and consensual.

In response to the statement, Clash issued a statement of his own, saying he is “relieved that this painful allegation has been put to rest.”

The man, who has not identified himself, released his statement through the Harrisburg, Pa., law firm of Andreozzi & Associates.

Sesame Workshop said Clash had taken a leave of absence from the show after allegations came to light that he had had a relationship with a 16-year-old.

Clash denied the charges from the man, who is now in his early 20s.

Top bishop: We won’t give in on birth control ruling BALTIMORE (AP) — A top American bishop said Tuesday the Roman Catholic church will not comply with the Obama administration requirement that most employers provide health insurance covering birth control.

New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, said church leaders are open to working toward a resolution with federal officials, but will meanwhile press ahead with challenges to the mandate in legislatures and in court.

“The only thing we’re certainly not prepared to do is give in. We’re not violating our consciences,” Dolan told reporters at a national bishops’ meeting.

“I would say no door is closed except for the door to capitulation.”

The bishops have been fighting the regulation since it was announced by President Barack Obama early this year. Houses of worship are exempt, but religiously affiliated hospitals, charities and colleges are not.

Obama promised to change the requirement so that insurance companies, not faith-affiliated employers, would pay for the coverage. But details have not been worked out.

And not only the bishops, but Catholic hospitals and some other religious leaders generally supportive of Obama’s health care overhaul have said the compromise proposed so far appears to be unworkable.

“

The only thing we’re certainly not prepared to do is give in.

We’re not violating our consciences.

— Timothy Dolan, New York cardinal

“

Personals

Dozens of Catholic dioceses and charities have sued over the mandate, along with colleges, including the University of Notre Dame. The bishops have made the issue the centerpiece of a national campaign on preserving religious freedom, which they consider under assault on several fronts from an increasingly secular broader culture. The Department of Health and Human Services adopted the rule as a preventive service meant to protect women’s health by allowing them to space their pregnancies.

Stooped posture causes require early intervention Dear Drs. Donohue and Roach: Help, help, help.

I’m getting stooped, I hate it, and I hope you can tell what I can do to keep it from getting worse. Will exercise help? — S.M. Answer: There are two common reasons for a stooped posture, and both of them need early evaluation.

The more common is osteoporosis.

Although the stoop is sometimes called a “widow’s hump” or a “dowager’s hump,” it can occur in men. It usually appears at an older age than in women, since men have, on average, a higher bone density than women and women have a rapid loss of bone density after menopause. Osteoporosis is the loss of calcium from the bone, which weakens the bones and makes them more susceptible to fracture.

Fractures in the bones of the neck tend to make the neck protrude forward, causing a characteristic stooped posture.

This abnormality of the spine, called kyphosis, can happen in other parts of the spine as well, and can cause severe loss of height, and even an inability for the lungs to expand properly.

There is effective treatment for osteoporosis, and treatment can prevent fractures. Once fractures have occurred, however, it becomes very difficult to change the shape of the

spine, which is why I recommend screening for osteoporosis before fractures occur. If you have any kind of change in your spine or neck shape and haven’t been examined for osteoporosis (usually by an X-ray test called a DEXA), you should do so right away.

The second cause of stooped posture, which also occurs in both men and women, is spinal stenosis. Spinal stenosis is a condition where the nerves coming off the spinal cord are compressed. It may be a result of arthritis, bone disease or injury. Spinal stenosis almost always is associated with pain, numbness or weakness, usually of the back and legs. Many people with spinal stenosis find that they need to stop and rest after walking a short while, but report that if walking while pushing a shopping cart, they can walk as far as they want. The stoopedforward posture relieves pressure on the nerves and prevents the pain, numbness or weakness associated with the condition. This “shopping cart test” also helps distinguish spinal stenosis from similar leg

pain caused by poor blood circulation. Treatment for spinal stenosis depends on its underlying cause and severity, and may include medication, physical therapy or, in severe cases, surgery.

It is possible to have both spinal stenosis and osteoporosis, so before starting any exercises yourself, see your internist or general doctor to diagnose why you are becoming stooped.

Dear Drs. Donohue and Roach: I was recently diag-

nosed with trigger finger.

What is the cause, and is it a form of arthritis or carpal tunnel? Is hand exercise beneficial, or is it better to let it rest? — C.L. Answer: Trigger finger is when the tendon to the finger gets stuck in its sheath. Tendons, which attach muscle to bone, travel in the finger in a sheath, which protects and lubricates the tendon.

Sometimes, the sheath can become inflamed and the tendon sticks there — this leaves your finger in a bent

position, sometimes painfully.

It is not related to carpal tunnel or arthritis. This is one instance where exercise does not help; in fact, it helps to rest the hand.

Your doctor may have you wear a splint to really rest the finger. The doctor (usually an orthopedic surgeon) also may inject the finger with a steroid antiinflammatory, though this may take several times to work. Surgery for this is uncommon.

Readers: Men’s health is an important topic. The booklet on the prostate gland discusses enlargement and prostate cancer.

Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue — No. 1001, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Can. with the recipient’s printed name and address.

Please allow four weeks for delivery.

Drs. Donohue and Roach regret that they are unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may write the doctors or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Readers also may order health newsletters from www.rbmamall. com.

DAILY CRYPTOQUOTES - Here’s how to work it:

Sudoku is like a crossword puzzle, but uses numbers instead of words.

The puzzle is a box of 81 squares, subdivided into 3x3 cubes of 9 squares each. Some squares are filled in with numbers. The rest should be filled in by the puzzler.

Fill in the blank squares allowing the numbers 1-9 to appear only once in every row, once in every column and once in every 3x3 box.

One-star puzzles are for beginners, and the difficulty gradually increases through the week to a very challenging fivestar puzzle.
