Hopes for growth

Group works to develop business, housing

By BOB JOHNSON The Iola Register

The secret to economic development is to keep on trying, according to Larry Manes.

“You have to crack a lot of oysters to find a pearl,” Manes told Allen County commissioners Tuesday morning.

Manes, as a member of the Allen County Economic Development Group, said some of those elusive pearls were on the horizon and others were anticipated.

He divided his presentation into three levels, industrial, retail and services and medical health care.

Opportunities for new or expanded industries come along frequently, Manes said, but few reach fruition.

“We have followed up on three references from the

state Department of Commerce, four inquiries from companies looking to potentially move to southeast Kansas, two companies rumored to be looking at Kansas and two local small compa- Larry Manes nies considering expansion to larger facilities,” Manes recited from a prepared text.

The development group also has contacted owners of Gates Corporation, Russell Stover Candies and Herff Jones, three of Iola’s main industries and employers, about ways it could be helpful.

Gates is expected soon to announce an expansion that may not mean many addi-

tional employees, but a substantial increase in plant size; 70,000 square feet of floor space was mentioned

by Manes and Iola Administrator Carl Slaugh. Slaugh reported the city installed a new $500,000 transformer near the Gates plant to increase power capacity.

A feather in the development group’s hat was keeping Catalyst in the county, with its move from Humboldt to substantially larger quarters in the old Haldex Brake plant.

“That’s one of our successes,” Manes said, adding that Catalyst is increasing capacity and employment. The company, which manufactures oilfield equipment, “expects to fill the Haldex building within five years.”

Organizations plan Thanksgiving meals

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

The nascent Sunday Soups campaign to provide warm, weekly meals to anybody who wants one has set its sights on Thanksgiving.

Sunday Soups organizers will provide a heaping helping of food and fellowship, starting at 2:30 p.m. Thanksgiving Day at First Presbyterian Church.

Organizers will prepare turkey or ham, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce,

pumpkin pie and drinks.

Volunteers are needed to help make the proceedings go off without a hitch, including some to help prepare the food the day before.

“We could use anywhere from two more volunteers to five or six more,” said Paige Olson, one of the organizers.

Sign-up forms are available via the Sunday Soups Facebook page.

Olson noted the Thanksgiving meal is planned in addition to the weekly meals, See DINNER | Page A4

Power production with wind-powered generators may find its way to Allen County one day soon.

County Counselor Alan Weber told Allen County commissioners Tuesday EDP Renewables, Houston, would test wind currents to determine if it was feasible to build a wind farm in these parts. The area first being considered is north of U.S. 54 and west of U.S. 59, a broad area north of LaHarpe.

As many as 100 of the turbines might be built. Typical wind-powered turbines sit atop 210-foot towers and are activated by fan blades 115 feet long, which would make ground-to-top clearance well over 300 feet.

EDP is completing ar-

rangements to build a wind farm in Coffey County, with start of construction expected soon, Weber said.

A state mandate for renewable energy production of 20 percent of consumption will take effect in 2020, which has encouraged companies such as EDP to look more favorable on all of Kansas. Tax exemption is a federal fact of life for wind farms, but many companies make payments in lieu of taxes and also arrange to help with road repairs that evolve from construction and maintenance of the tower-borne generators, Weber said.

KANSAS BUDGET WOES

Legislators see taxes as last resort TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas’ projected budget shortfalls have some Republican legislators weighing proposals to backtrack on tax-cutting policies championed by Gov. Sam Brownback, but House budget committee members said Tuesday that should be a last resort.

Brownback and the GOPdominated Legislature must close gaps in the current and next state budgets totaling more than $714 million when the annual session opens in January. The projected deficits — which aren’t allowed under the state constitution — total about 11 percent of the $6.4 billion in annual

state spending on education, social services and other general government programs financed with general taxes.

Legislators aggressively cut personal income taxes at Brownback’s urging in 2012 and 2013 to stimulate the economy — dropping the top rate by 26 percent and exempting owners of 191,000 businesses altogether. The predicted gaps in anticipated income and current spending commitments are nearly $279 million for the current budget year and almost another $436 million for the budget year beginning in July.

Sen. Jim Denning, an Overland Park Republican, said

“Marriage is like wine. It is not properly judged until the second glass.”

— Douglas William Jerrold 75 Cents

Tuesday that he wants to “smooth out” future tax cuts and consider requiring business owners who used to pay personal income taxes to resume doing so on earnings exceeding $250,000.

“I do want to look at the tax policy,” said Denning, vice chairman of the budget-writing Senate Ways and Means Committee, adding that last week’s forecast “changes everything.”

The governor’s budget director, Shawn Sullivan, initially said the focus would be on finding efficiencies. On Tuesday, spokeswoman Eileen See BUDGET | Page A4

Report: Fewer immigrants living illegally in Kansas

By ROXANA HEGEMAN The Associated Press

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — While the overall number of immigrants living in the United States illegally has been relatively stable since 2009, far fewer of them are choosing to live in Kansas, according to a report released Tuesday by the Pew Research Center.

The report by the non-

profit group shows Kansas is among 14 states with sharp declines in the number of residents living without legal immigration status. Seven other states had increases.

Between 2009 and 2012, some 20,000 immigrants without legal status left Kansas. That lowers the state’s total to an estimated 75,000.

The report attributes

the population decreases among those in the country illegally to a decline in the number of Mexican-born immigrants.

People from Mexico account for 75 percent of those living in Kansas without lawful immigration status.

Immigration activist Sulma Arias, executive director of Kansas People’s Action, also pointed to increased de-

Chinese company eyes KS dairy plant KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Chinese company and the Dairy Farmers of America say they are planning a $100 million plant in Kansas but the location and other details are not being publicly released.

The Dairy Farmers of America, a cooperative owned by 13,000 dairy farmers based in Kansas City, is working with the Inner Mongolia Yili Industrial Group on the project, The Kansas City Star reported.

The plant’s location has not been disclosed but that it will likely be in western Kansas, where most of the state’s milk production occurs. It is expected to produce up to 88,000 tons of milk powder a year.

According to a filing with the Shanghai Stock Exchange, Dairy Farmers of America will contribute $70 million and the Chinese company $30 million to build the plant.

The deal would be important to the United States’ efforts to attract a larger share of China’s increasing demand for dairy products, an industry analyst said. “It’s kind of our growing up,� said Alan Levitt, vice president of communications for the U.S. Dairy Export Council. “To put up a plant geared to exports is very significant.�

The Kansas City cooperative formed a partnership with Inner Mongolia Yili Industrial Group, a leading Chinese dairy processor, two years ago. “Today, we have committed to an historic initiative to bring DFA and Yili even closer together,� Rick Smith, president and CEO of Dairy Farmers of America, said in a statement.

State may OK seaplanes WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — The state’s aviation office is considering whether to allow qualified seaplanes to use state lakes that are managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

The Wichita Eagle reports a petition is being circulated to gauge interest in opening some of the state’s lakes to seaplanes. The petition

is the first step in a lengthy process.

The state transportation’s aviation director, Jesse Romo, says the decision will depend on whether the corps finds enough interest in the idea.

He says several pilots have expressed early interest.

The seaplanes land in open spaces on the lake, then operate as a boat on the water.

portations and lack of employment opportunities in Kansas. “Families leave due to opportunities for jobs in other states, and other states are sometimes more welcoming as well,� Arias said.

But Ed Hayes, who runs the website Victims of Illegal Alien Crime Memorial from his Olathe home, said the immigrant population loss means more jobs for U.S. citizens. “It is good — that is jobs that Americans can work or get back,� Hayes said.

The Pew Research Center also estimated in its report that immigrants without legal status account for 3.5 percent of the Kansas labor force while com-

prising 2.6 percent of the state’s population.

About 7 percent of elementary and secondary schoolchildren in Kansas have a parent who is unlawfully in the United States.

Other Midwest states where the report indicated declines were Indiana and Illinois. Six Western states — Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and Oregon — also saw decreases. The Northeastern states of Massachusetts and New York also had a decline.

States drawing the biggest increases in immigrants without lawful immigration status are Florida, Idaho, Maryland, Nebraska, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

Financial Focus Share Your “Bounty� with Your Loved Ones

It’s almost Thanksgiving, a holiday that once celebrated the harvest season. Although many of us today may not be directly connected to agriculture, we still gather on Thanksgiving with our loved ones to share whatever “bounty� we may have. But this practice doesn’t have to begin and end with food. Why not incorporate the spirit of sharing into your overall financial strategy?

Here are a few suggestions for doing just that: • Make financial gifts. You could give shares of stock to your loved ones, or perhaps give them money to help fund their IRAs. (They must have earned income, however, to be eligible to contribute to an IRA.) You can give up to $14,000 per year, per recipient. If you are married, you and your spouse can each give up to the $14,000 yearly limit. • Invest in your children’s future. To help your children meet the high costs of higher education, you might want to invest in a college savings vehicle. One option to consider is a 529 plan. When you contribute to a 529 plan, your earnings are subject to tax-free growth potential and distributions are free of federal taxes, provided they are used for qualified higher education expenses. (Keep in mind, though, that Section 529 plan distributions not used for these qualified expenses may be subject to income tax and a 10% penalty.) Furthermore, if you invest in your home state’s 529 plan, you may receive state tax incentives. Tax issues for 529 plans can be complex, though, so you’ll need to consult with your tax advisor about your situation. Another benefit of 529 plans: You control the assets right up to the point at which they are actually used. So, if you have been putting away money for a particular child (or grandchild) and he or she decides against college, you can easily switch to another beneficiary. • Review your insurance policies. If something were to happen to you, is your life insurance sufficient to take care of your family? In other words, would there be enough money available to pay off your mortgage, send your children to college and help your surviving spouse meet at least some of his or her retirement expenses? A financial professional can help you determine if your life insurance is sufficient for your needs. • Consider involving your family with your estate plans.

To help ensure your wishes get carried out the way you intended, consider keeping family members informed of your estate strategy, which could involve your will, living trust, power of attorney and other legal documents. And don’t forget to keep your beneficiary designations up to date on your retirement accounts and your life insurance policy. So if you’ve gone through changes in your family situation, such as a divorce or remarriage, work with your professional team, including your financial advisor and your tax and legal advisors, to make ensure your investment strategy aligns with your estate goals.

Once the turkey is eaten and the football games have ended, Thanksgiving will draw to a close. But consider these strategies sharing your “bounty� with your loved ones all year long — and throughout your lifetime.

DARRELL MONFORT, DVM Veterinarian PROFESSIONAL, CARING STAFF

DR. MONFORT SAYS “ THIS THANKSGIVING BE THANKFUL FOR ACARF”

We have a valuable resource in our county, one of the best resources in Allen County that is not supported by Allen County. That resource is the Allen County Animal Rescue Facility, or ACARF. ACARF was conceived and birthed by a group of motivated and patient volunteers with big dreams and the desire to help animals in our county. Years of fundraising finally resulted in a facility being built and staffed that serves as a shelter and adoption agency for Allen County and the municipalities within the county.

The ACARF shelter was built, as most of us have to, with the use of some credit, and the hopes that fees generated by adoptions, contracts with Allen County cities and the county itself, and available grants would generate enough income to service the debt, pay the wages, utilities, and care expenses for the shelter occupants. Many more pets have found homes through the adoption services at the shelter than could be expected for an area like ours. This is a testament to the efforts of the ACARF staff and volunteers and the resulting adoption fees become part of the shelter’s cash flow. Several local towns rely on ACARF to hold pets for rehoming or adoption, rather than having to build, staff and maintain individual city pounds. The contracts with those towns provide funds monthly for ACARF’s coffers. The ACARF fundraising committee raises revenue monthly through donations, activities, the refreshment trailer and the “Second Chance” store. This money benefits the ACARF general fund directly. However, the grants that were expected have dried up since the start of the economic crisis and are no longer available. And Allen County has never managed to find any resources with which to assist ACARF, although animal neglect, abandonment and abuse issues surface every day to be dealt with by the law enforcement agencies. The county has benefitted from the presence of ACARF in two ways. Our county is presumed to be a place to live where the citizens value animal life, a positive perception in the eyes of potential citizens and businesses. The county also benefits from the presence of the ACARF facility directly by having a location where unwanted and abandoned pets can be housed and cared for, without the animals interfering with traffic, causing accidents, inciting inhumane euthanasia methods, acting as a disease vector, and causing neighborhood issues. Even the smallest input from the county would make a world of difference to the ACARF budget. Since many of the above listed issues relate to law enforcement concerns, perhaps funding, on some level, should be found in the sheriff’s budget. But, certainly, Allen County citizens should not expect to enjoy both the tangible and intangible benefits of an organization like ACARF for free.

Support ACARF now and encourage the elected officials to do so, too.

As always, I draw a lot of inspiration for this column from events occurring at the office. A client a few weeks ago took a litter of puppies out to ACARF for surrender. As is ACARF policy, a surrender fee was required and certain basic health issues had to be dealt with prior to the puppy’s being surrendered. Our client had issue with the idea of paying for these requirements, apparently believing that ACARF was a taxfunded, public service. It is not. ACARF is funded through adoption fees, surrender fees, fundraising, and a few municipal contracts, which allow towns to essentially “farm out” their animal kenneling, quarantine, and adoption/euthanasia without the expense of maintaining a pound. As many of us know, owning and maintaining a pet is expensive. ACARF usually has a census of 40 dogs and 20 cats. That is really expensive, and they need help. As well as animal expenses, ACARF deals with the same expenses any business has; wages, utilities, loan service, insurance, maintenance and more.

We as a county benefit from the presence of a facility like ACARF, both indirectly and directly. Indirectly the presence of ACARF creates the perception of a county that is humane and forward thinking, providing advanced services to our citizens. ACARF’s presence directly benefits the citizens and law enforcement by providing shelter services, helping to prevent the issues that result from abandoned pets on the roads, in the neighborhoods, left to reproduce uncontrolled, harboring and spreading disease and parasites. Let’s do a better job supporting ACARF and let’s require the county to get involved, also. We all benefit, even if it is indirectly. We all need to pay our way.

Early winter storm packs a wallop BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — A ferocious storm dumped massive piles of snow on parts of upstate New York, trapping residents in their homes and stranding motorists on roadways, as temperatures in all 50 states fell to freezing or below.

Even hardened Buffalo residents were caught off-guard Tuesday as more than 4 feet fell in parts of the city.

Authorities said snow totals by this afternoon could top 6 feet in the hardest-hit areas south of Buffalo, with another storm expected Thursday.

Cold weather enveloped the entire country Tuesday, leading to record-low temperatures more familiar to January than November.

Racing winds and icy roads caused accidents, school closings and delays in municipal operations from the Midwest to the South even where snowfall was low or mercifully absent.

The storm was blamed for at least six deaths in New York, New Hampshire and Michigan.

The snowstorm forced motorists in 150 vehicles, including a

women’s basketball team, to ride out the onslaught in their vehicles. They waited for hours to be freed, with some waiting more than a day. By early today, a Thruway official said most but not all passenger vehicles had been cleared.

Some got so thirsty they drank melted snow, said Coach Kendra Faustin, who was traveling with her 1-year-old.

The lake-effect snow created a stark divide: In downtown Buffalo and north of the city, there was a mere dusting of precipitation, while in the south parts, snow was everywhere. The snow band that brought the snow was very much evident throughout the day as gray clouds persistently hovered over the southern part of the city. The band was so apparent, that the wall of snow could be seen from a mile away.

Budget: Gaps cause funding woes Continued from A1

Hawley said the administration is working on budget and policy proposals and expects to announce a plan in early December.

State Rep. Ron Ryckman Jr., an Olathe Republican serving on the budget-drafting House Appropriations Committee, said legislators

should “exhaust” spending reductions first.

Rethinking past tax cuts is problematic because Kansas needs to remain economically competitive, said Appropriations Committee Chairman Gene Suellentrop.

“That’d have to be the last option,” the Wichita Republican said.

Democrats argued during Brownback’s successful re-election campaign that his tax cuts wrecked the state’s finances. Sen. Laura Kelly, the ranking Democrat on the Ways and Means Committee, said legislators won’t be able to reduce spending enough without making devastating cuts to public

schools, higher education, social services and other government programs.

“Anybody who thinks there’s a whole lot more efficiencies or savings to be had — that’s a misnomer,” Kelly said. “It won’t be that. It will be just severe service reductions and eliminations.”

Economic: Allen County growth Continued from A1

talked with B&W, Humboldt, Columbia Metal in Riverside Park and Ray Maloney, who has started an oilfield equipment manufacturing firm in the old Klein Tools plant north of Moran.

“Our concern is finding good workers,” Manes continued. “Unemployment in the county is 4.9 percent, lower than elsewhere in southeast Kansas.”

Manes said a delegation would be sent to job fairs that Amazon planned in Coffeyville.

The closing of an Amazon distribution center, as well as one operated by Pepsi in the Coffeyville area affected about 1,000 workers, he said.

“We know people have been driving to Coffeyville to work from the south” — such as the Tulsa area — “aren’t likely to have an interest in driving another 70 miles to Allen County, but we may be able to interest some who live in Erie, Chanute, Parsons, Cherryvale, Fredonia and Neodesha,” Manes said.

“We think we have a shot at them.”

Housing is another obstacle to attracting workers to Iola, Moran and Humboldt, he said, both for those who would move here initially and

others who might want to live close to their jobs later on.

“We’re going to do housing surveys in Iola, Moran and Humboldt, and maybe Gas and LaHarpe,” Manes said.

A concern, he added, is that builders often talk in terms of three-bedroom, two-bath houses that sell for $100,000 to $125,000. “We’d like to find someone willing to build smaller homes” — those often referred to as starters — “with two bedrooms and a bath that could be built to sell in the range of $60,000 to $70,000.” The smaller homes would be more likely to fit the budgets of people working for local industries.

Apartments also may be an answer.

IN THE RETAIL and services sector, Manes had more to crow about.

The developers worked with Loren Lance to reopen the grocery store at Mildred and currently is trying to match a potential buyer with Stub’s Market in Moran, although “we haven’t had any success there yet,” Manes said.

He pointed out keeping a retail grocery outlet in Moran was important to its residents, particularly senior citizens who don’t

have the wherewithal to drive to Iola’s Walmart whenever a simple need, such as a gallon of milk, crops up.

Bringing broadband Internet service to Iola is another goal, initially to serve schools, industrial parks, government offices and downtown merchants. Wireless features being promoted by LaHarpe Communications’ New Wave Broadband service is a first step.

Slaugh earlier commented on communications upgrade, noting water storage towers in Iola would be made available for wireless towers.

Several service business — Casey’s, McDonald’s and Dollar General were noted — have been contacted about expanding or updating stores in Iola.

“We worked for several months with G&W Foods to bring a second grocery to Iola without success,” Manes said; a suitable location could not be found at a price G&W found attractive.

“Currently we are working with another grocery chain that looks very favorable.”

A Daylight Donuts store is being readied at the east edge of Iola and “a new restaurant looks almost certain near Super 8” motel, northwest of the intersection of

highways 54 and 169, Manes said.

A motel project at Humboldt currently is on hold.

A VETERANS Administration clinic in conjunction with Allen County Regional Hospital “is going to happen,” Manes continued, starting with sleep disorder treatment and cataract surgery. There also is the “possibility of increased services with a potential full clinic in two or three years.”

The development group has made contact with 14 physicians and has a verbal agreement for two medical doctors to move here next summer, one to practice immediately. The two are married and the wife plans to be a stay-at-home mom until their children are older and then resume her practice, Manes said.

The older hospital has been toured several times and two parties continue to show interest, he said.

Finally, Manes said two senior housing home-plus care facilities were on the cusp of being announced for Allen County. One near Iola is expected to have 12 units, the other east of Moran, 10. He described homeplus care as a step up from assisted living.

DAR takes in 8 members The Cofachique Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution met Saturday at the Humboldt library, with Regent Beverly Miller presiding.

Beverly read a 1939 newspaper article praising the Gene Miller Orchestra that was playing in Glenwood Springs Colo.

B. Ellen Smith provided an informative and challenging program on the Constitution and citizenship, asking questions previously emailed to those attending.

Eight women were accepted into the chapter.

Chapter officers were elected: regent B. Ellen Smith, vice regent Karen Gilpin, secretary/ treasurer Nelda Cuppy, chaplain Karen Gilpin, registrar, B. Ellen Smith.

The next meeting will be at 10 a.m. on Feb. 21 at Humboldt Public Library.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

So, what’s on the Kansas budget chopping block?

By DUANE GOOSSEN Former state budget director

Kansas faces a very immediate budget crisis. At least $279 million of expenses must be removed from the current budget just to keep the state financially solvent.

Where will the cuts come from? Is it possible to protect education?

The accompanying pie chart shows how state general fund expenses are currently allocated for fiscal year 2015.

A $279 million spending cut is roughly equal to a 4.5 percent across-the-board cut to everything in the chart.

But not everything can be cut.

Medicaid costs are going up, not down, and the state has little choice but to pay these costs in full. That’s especially true since Kansas has signed contracts with three private managed care companies to provide Medicaid services via KanCare.

So take Medicaid out of the calculation. (Note: that’s 20 percent of the budget.)

Without touching Medicaid, a $279 million spending reduction would require about a 5.5 percent cut to everything else.

That’s why public education advocates are very concerned.

A 5.5 percent cut — implemented after more than half the school year has gone by — would be quite serious.

Now consider this: what if K-12th grade education is pro-

tected from cuts along with Medicaid?

Then, a nearly 15 percent across-the-board cut would be required on the remaining items: higher education, public safety, other human service programs, and general government. And that’s just to achieve the $279 million expenditure reduction needed to stay solvent for this fiscal

year. Grim, to say the least — maintenance, it would be posparticularly with even more sible for lawmakers to free up tax cuts scheduled for coming money to transfer to the state years. general fund.

Act on immigration now

More Kansas kids in poverty Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration has often been fact-challenged. So its claim just before Election Day that poverty in Kansas had dropped by more than 2 percent attracted notice.

At least two news outlets, the Kansas Health Institute News Service and the Topeka Capital-Journal, have called out the false claim.

The Department of Children and Families has acknowledged an error, though it hasn’t publicly corrected its news release from Oct. 20.

“We misread the report,” a spokeswoman told the Capital-Journal.

What the department misread was U.S. Census data, which showed the poverty rate in Kansas remaining essentially flat at 11.8 percent, compared with 11.5 percent the year before.

For children, the percentage is higher. Using census data from 2011 through 2013, the latest Kids Count report from Kansas Action for Children estimates 21 percent of children under age 19 are living below the federal poverty level. For the first time, over 50 percent of Kansas school children qualify for free or reduced-price lunches.

Brownback’s claim that he

reduced the state’s welfare rolls by half in his first term is true. Enrollment in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program is under 20,000 persons.

But that’s because Brownback made it much harder for families to obtain assistance. His administration contends it is helping families by steering parents into jobs instead of welfare.

that kind of direct help from the state, funneling federal block grant funds that used to go directly to needy families into other services.

In early summer, Brownback told Kansans, “We’ll finish this year with several hundred millions of dollars cash on hand, so we’re going to be in fine shape.”

As we know, that was the biggest falsehood. A bud-

For the first time, over 50 percent of Kansas school children qualify for free or reduced-price lunches; 21 percent of children under age 19 are living below the federal poverty level.

However, the fact that one of five children in Kansas lives in poverty suggests many of those jobs are low-paying and tenuous.

“Local service agencies are seeing more people trying to find ongoing assistance,” said Karen Wulfkuhle, executive director of United Community Services of Johnson County.

But most service agencies aren’t designed to provide sustained assistance. And Brownback has reduced

get forecast announced last week showed that the governor and Legislature will have to cut $278 million by June 30 to finish in the black and more in the year after that.

Kansans at or near the poverty level have good reason to fear that their lot will become even harder. Brownback’s concept of helping the poor has always involved cutting their services. That is likely to accelerate.

Given the repeated failure of this Congress and preceding ones to deal with immigration reform, the only questions now are when and how far President Barack Obama will go in using his discretionary authority to fix the problem on his own.

We hope it’s soon and that he does everything he can within the law to provide a strong measure of relief to immigrant communities throughout the nation. They’ve waited patiently and for too long for the president to act.

There was a time when Obama’s failure to use executive authority seemed justified, despite strong public support for reform. That was when there was a glimmer of hope that members of Congress would fill the vacuum by finding a legislative solution. But that hope died after the House refused to consider S.744, which the Senate passed nearly five months ago in a bipartisan vote of 68-32.

It wasn’t because there was no support for the bill in the House. The votes for passage were there, but Speaker John Boehner would have had to rely on Democrats and a few Republican moderates in order to win approval, an action he refused to take for purely political reasons.

Nor was it because the bill lacked immigration enforcement provisions. It addressed border security, which Republicans say should be a priority, by nearly doubling the number of Border Patrol agents and adding an additional 700 miles of border fence, along with watch towers, drones, and security cameras. This would have to be accomplished before any undocumented immigrants could get green cards, the bill said.

In any case, the documents would not be offered to qualifying immigrants for at least 10 years after the effective date of the law.

The issue was never the lack of votes in Congress, nor the security provisions, but rather the unwillingness of members of Boehner’s caucus to hand Obama what they considered a political victory. Doing the right thing took a back seat to politics.

That has left Obama, finally, with no choice except to act

The issue was never the lack of votes in Congress, nor the security provisions, but rather the unwillingness of members of Boehner’s caucus to hand Obama what they considered a political victory. Doing the right thing took a back seat to politics.

on his own. He certainly has plenty of precedent to rely on.

In 1987, for example, Attorney Gen. Edwin Meese stayed the deportation of 200,000 Nicaraguans in the United States without authorization, and three years later the first President Bush provided protection for 190,000 Salvadorans fleeing the extreme violence in their country. In 1997, Congress passed a law allowing those affected to become permanent residents.

Haitians, Cubans, Chinese, South Vietnamese, et al — the list of immigrant groups that have been allowed to remain in this country through executive action over the years goes on and on. Presidents have wide latitude on immigration matters and have exercised it often. Why should Obama do otherwise?

Boehner and other Republicans have not been shy about threatening the president if he decides to go ahead, saying any relaxation of immigration rules would “poison the atmosphere” in Washington.

Really? At this stage — after years of demonizing the president, blocking his agenda, voting to repeal the Affordable Care Act some 50 times, and so on — now they’re saying No More Mr. Nice Guy? Obama would be wise to ignore the posturing by his adversaries on The Hill. They’ve been in “No” mode for so long they apparently don’t know how else to behave. If they’re serious about wanting to pass a bill to supersede his executive action, they have the votes to do it whenever they’re ready.

Allen basketball teams fall to Butler by double-digits

By SPENCER MICHELSON The Iola Register

Allen Community College’s men’s basketball three-game winning streak came to an end against Butler Tuesday night.

The Red Devils lost 89-72.

The first half doomed ACC when Butler built a 20-point cushion with the score 45-25.

Allen outscored Butler 47-44 in the second half, but it was too little, too late.

Allen’s top scorer, Jermaine Long, came off the bench to score 21 points. He also had three steals and two assists, while shooting 3-6 from the 3-point arc. Courtney Stockard led the starters with 15 points and team with six rebounds.

Josh Sweet scored 11 points and had four rebounds. Darnell Jones-Bowie had the odd statistic of the night scoring seven points, all from the free

throw line.

Overall, The Red Devils had only 16 turnovers compared to Butler’s 24 — Allen had 19 steals as a team. But, ACC gave up 39 rebounds, with 17 of them on the offensive end.

Allen had only 22 rebounds.

Butler also shot 50.7 percent on the night, taking and making more than 10 extra shots than Allen. The Red Devils shot 40 percent.

Allen (3-5) travels to Fort Scott this Friday to play Wentworth Military. This will be fourth road game in a row, with one more to play on Saturday. ACC will play at home on Tuesday against Tabor.

THE RED DEVIL women also lost to Butler on Tuesday night. Allen fell 105-50, giving up the most points in a game this season.

The women were outscored by double digits in each half.

Butler had a 48-23 lead at halftime and then beat Allen 57-27 in the second.

The Red Devil’s Erika Essman led the team with 17 points and in 3-pointers, making 5 of 10. Daria Evans scored 15 points and led the team with four rebounds. Kai Jones, Josie Reilly, Ashley Washington and Essman each had two assists.

Allen shot 15-44 for 34.1 percent compared to Butler, which shot 40-73 for 54.8 percent. Butler was able to get so many shots off because they outrebounded the Red Devils 49 to 14. The team also turned the ball over only nine times to Allen’s 18.

Butler scored 42 points in the paint and 30 points off of turnovers. Allen scored 10 points in the paint and nine points off of turnovers.

The Red Devils (1-8) host Crowder on Thursday at 2 p.m.

Above, Allen’s Erika Essman (23) takes a shot at an earlier game.

Block party: Kentucky thumps KU 72-40

By MICHAEL MAROT AP Sports Writer

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Kansas got knocked down Tuesday night. Bill Self insists they’re not out of it yet.

No. 1 Kentucky used a dominating defense to rattle the fifth-ranked Jayhawks and pulled away for a stunning 7240 victory at the State Farm Champions Classic. Afterward, Self was, well, not his usually low-key self in critiquing his team.

“Individually we’re not good enough to go out and play against guys like that,” the Jayhawks coach said. “We have to become a team and we’re not close to becoming a team yet.”

Self acknowledged he’s already seen signs of potential problems in practice.

If his players didn’t understand what he meant then, they certainly should after reading the box score.

They finished with 11 total baskets — eight in the first half, three in the second. They shot just 19.6 percent from the field and were only 3 of 15 on 3-pointers. The 40-point total was the lowest since Self took over as coach in 2003-04, easily falling below the previous mark of 49 against Arizona in November 2005. And they barely avoided becoming the first Kansas team to finish with fewer than 40 points in a game since February 1962 when they had 37 against Oklahoma State.

Wayne Selden Jr. led Kansas with nine points and Cliff Alexander had eight.

And it was every bit as bad

MVJH basketball teams split with Crest Marmaton Valley Junior High’s girls basketball teams were in action Tuesday night.

The A-Team lost to Crest 38-21. Patricia Outlan led the team with 12 points. Sarah Spillman and Paige Becker scored four points. Savanna Puckett made a free throw.

The B-Team won 28-23 against Crest. Bailey Griffith and Bella Duke scored eight points. Rachel Shaffer scored six points. Zoi Yoho, Morgan Woods and Julianna Sprague each scored two points.

The MVJH boys basketball teams each squared off with Crest Tuesday night as well.

The A-Team won 25-20.

Caiden Elliot led the team with 14 points. Trenton Vest scored six points, Gage Griffith scored four points and Alec Cochran made a free throw.

The B-Team fell 19-16.

Drake Sellman led the Wildcats with six points. William Lowder added five points, Ty Scharff scored four points and Nate McAloon made a free throw.

Peterson’s future with Vikings dims further

as the score indicated.

“It’s OK to hurt and they’re embarrassed, obviously, we all are for not putting up more of a fight,” Self said after taking a sip of water and joking he needed something a little stronger. “But it’s too early in the season (to get discouraged).”

For Kentucky (3-0), it reinforced the point that last year’s national runner-up is this year’s best team.

After winning its first two games by 40 and 19 points, the Wildcats dominated Kansas despite having only two players reach double figures. Dakari Johnson had 11 points, Andrew Harrison had 10 and Willie Cauley-Stein finished with seven points and 10 rebounds.

But they didn’t need bigtime scorers Tuesday.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings were already going to face a difficult decision this winter about Adrian Peterson, with the star running back turning 30 next year.

That was before the public relations problem his child abuse case created for the team. The stiff punishment delivered by the NFL on Tuesday, a suspension without pay for at least the rest of the season, put his future with the Vikings in further doubt.

Commissioner Roger

Goodell told Peterson he will not be considered for reinstatement before April 15 for his violation of the league’s personal conduct policy. Peterson, who pleaded no contest on Nov. 4 to misdemeanor reckless assault for injuries to his 4-year-old son, planned an appeal that the NFL Players Association pushed to be handled by a neutral arbitrator.

Peterson’s salary for the season was $11.75 million. He will keep the money accrued while on the special exempt list he was placed on Sept. 17.

But the NFL’s punishment has now amounted to a 14See PETERSON | Page B3

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — An 11-yearold Mexican boy who had been suffering from a massive tumor and drew international attention after U.S. officials helped him get treatment in New Mexico had the growth removed after a long surgery.

In a statement, Kristean Alcocer of the First Baptist Church of Rio Rancho said Jose Antonio Ramirez Serrano underwent surgery Monday at the University of New Mexico Children’s Hospital to remove the tumor from his neck, shoulder and torso area.

In July 2012, U.S. Homeland Security Investigations assisted in picking up Jose and his parents from a neighborhood in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico — one of the deadliest cities in the world at the time because of the presence of drug cartels.

Jose’s parents have said the tumor on his shoulder and neck grew so large that it affected his eyesight. They said they were afraid it might move into his heart. With no money for medical care, the family sought treatment in Juarez and El Paso, but they did not receive any help removing the tumor, which has afflicted Jose since birth.

The plight of Jose drew support from New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez, who asked federal officials to extend his stay in the U.S. so he could continue treatment.

Jose often talks to his parents, who visit when they can, Alcocer said.

Peterson: Suspended Continued from B1

game ban, with six unpaid weeks. That’s the equivalent of a fine of more than $4.1 million.

There are three years and $45 million remaining on his contract, but none of it is guaranteed.

The Vikings would take only a $2.4 million hit on their 2015 salary cap if they cut him before next season.

Even if Peterson were to win a shorter suspension with an appeal, the Vikings actually playing him yet this year would be an implausible scenario given the heat they have taken and the long time Peterson has been away from the team. The Vikings have six games left and host the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.

For now, the only game Peterson will be a part of is the back-andforth between the league and the union over the player discipline process.

The NFLPA sharply rebuked the league for what it labeled as inconsistency and unfairness.

The NFL’s words were even stronger, with a nearly 1,600-word statement spelling out the conditions for Peterson’s return to the field and describing the reasons for the punishment.

The union’s attempt to at least temporarily reinstate Peterson from the exempt list failed. The grievance filed against the league last week was overturned on Tuesday by the arbitrator who heard the arguments, according to a person with knowledge of the decision. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation.

Goodell’s letter to Peterson cited “aggravating circumstances” for the enhanced penalty, pointing to the child’s age and the significant physical difference between him and his son.

“Further, the injury inflicted on your son includes the emotional and psychological trauma to a young child who suffers criminal physical abuse at the hands of his

father,” Goodell wrote.

“Second, the repetitive use of a switch in this instance is the functional equivalent of a weapon, particularly in the hands of someone with the strength of an accomplished professional athlete.”

Goodell also came down on Peterson for showing “no meaningful remorse” for hurting the boy and expressed concern that he “may feel free to engage in similar conduct in the future.”

The union has accused the league of overstepping bounds spelled out in the collective bargaining agreement.

“The decision by the NFL to suspend Adrian Peterson is another example of the credibility gap that exists between the agreements they make and the actions they take. Since Adrian’s legal matter was adjudicated, the NFL has ignored their obligations and attempted to impose a new and arbitrary disciplinary proceeding,” the NFLPA said.

The NFL and Peterson’s camp have even disagreed about qualifying counselors.

Goodell directed Peterson to meet with Dr. April Kuchuk, an instructor in the New York University Department of Psychiatry and a forensic consultant to the New York City District Attorney’s offices and New York courts,

by Dec. 1. Kuchuk will design a program of counseling, therapy and community service for Peterson.

The league said Peterson made Dr. Cynthia Winston, a professor of psychology at Howard University contacted by his attorney, available Sunday to meet with Kuchuk about Peterson and case, but Winston advised Kuchuk she does not have a background in child abuse.

Kuchuk told the NFL it’s “essential” for her meet personally with Peterson to use the types of cognitive and behavioral therapies that Winston does not provide.

By MICHAEL BOHN Tribune News Service

(TNS) — The locomotive ground to a halt at New Haven’s Union Station, and under plumes of heavy smoke and vented steam, hundreds of people burst out of the passenger cars. Bundled against the cold, most of the travelers hurried to a line of streetcars for a two-mile ride out Chapel Street and Derby Avenue to the Yale Bowl in New Haven, Conn. They joined over 70,000 other folks that day, Nov. 21, 1914, and all were eager to watch a football game between the Yale Bulldogs and the Harvard Crimson in the host’s massive new stadium.

The train was one of 25 special departures from New York’s Grand Central Station that morning, all carrying alumni from both universities. Another 10 special trains traveled from Boston, and the New Haven streetcar companies mustered all of their trolleys, including their open-sided summer cars, to ferry the train passengers to the Bowl.

One hundred years ago this week, a New York Times reporter captured the pregame spectacle as gamebound people filled downtown New Haven: “Chapel Street was like Broadway on New Year’s Eve. Hawkers and fakers, dispensing every kind of an imaginable Blue and Crimson souvenirs, shouted the wares in your ears.

In every store window in the city was a big bulldog with its collar of blue silk ribbons.”

Thousands of game attendees had driven automobiles to New Haven, and university and city authorities funneled the motorists along streets separate from the streetcar lines and toward parking areas in open fields near the Bowl.

A late 20th century Yale-Harvard game in the Yale Bowl. TNS/PHOTO COURTESY YALE ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT

Yale had already sold all of the tickets for the 70,055 seats in the Bowl, and among those without, one fan offered $500 for six tickets. Those fans with tickets, according to the New Haven Register, included former presidents William H. Taft and Theodore Roosevelt.

Visitors from Boston were surprised as they walked through the stadium gate on Derby Avenue. There was no massive structure rising from the ground to hold the grandstands of Harvard Stadium. All the fans could see was a man-made earthen ridge, or berm, that encircled the facility, one pierced regularly by concrete portals that led to the stadium’s interior.

Once those in the crowd walked through a portal tunnel into the bright sunlight, they were struck by a green field completely surrounded by a vast oval array of seats rising from the field level to the top of the berm. Surveying what was then the largest stadium in the world, someone must have said, “No wonder Yale calls it a bowl.”

In stark contrast to the fur-clad elite from New York, a lightly dressed 8-year-old, Al Ostermann, hid under some seats. He had dug

a hole under the Bowl’s perimeter fence the day before and filled it with leaves. At 7 a.m. on game day, young Al removed the leaves and wriggled under the fence. “I was just a neighborhood kid,” Ostermann told the New York Times in 1989, “one of many, who sneaked into the Bowl in the morning.”

Six years after the first football game — Princeton vs. Rutgers in 1869 — colleges began to support two versions of the embryonic sport — a soccer-like kicking game and a rugby-like and ball-toting game.

In 1876, representatives from Princeton, Columbia, Yale and Harvard formed the Intercollegiate Football Association and adopted the rugby rules.

During the formative years that followed, Yale football benefited from the leadership and organizations skills of Walter Camp — the “father of American football.”

He was a member of the Yale team 1875-78 as an undergraduate and was elected captain, the de facto coach, during his junior and senior years.

Camp also played while he was in Yale medical school, but dropped out in 1882. Within a year, he began working at the New Haven Clock Company and soon became advisor to the team’s

little bit. “ Kentucky took advantage of Kansas’ errant shots and never let up.

The Wildcats jumped to a 35-17 lead with 3:06 left in the first half, then allowed Kansas to close within 38-28 at the half.

Kentucky then started the second half with six straight points, didn’t allow a basket for almost six minutes, then extended the lead to 6436 with and continued pulling away.

Kansas finally cracked the 40-point mark when Perry Ellis made two free throws with 2:53 left, but Kansas didn’t score again.

“They (Kentucky) are pretty good for this early in the season,” said Self, who beat Calipari in the 2008 national championship game.

“One thing I would say that would be challenging for them, and this is a compliment to them, right now they’re so far ahead where other people are, but other teams have a tendency to get better, too, and there will be teams out there who can challenge them. Whether they can beat them or not, I don’t know.”

The Wildcats now have a 16-game lead

over second-place Kansas for the most wins in college basketball.

Kentucky has 2,143 alltime wins and has won in three different buildings in downtown Indianapolis — the RCA Dome, Lucas Oil Stadium and Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

The Jayhawks may argue for a different draw in next year’s classic draw. They lost to Kentucky in this event in 2011 and to the Wildcats in the 2012 national championship game.

Though the Wildcats didn’t have a scoring star Tuesday, they did take advantage of their size. Kentucky outscored Kansas 30-12 in the paint and 19-9 on second chance points.

They also grabbed 32 defensive rebounds off of Kansas’ 53 missed shots.

But Calipari isn’t convinced this is Kentucky’s best effort. “’’No, we’re not that good. Next question,” Calipari said as his opening statement.

Kansas can’t blame all of its offensive troubles on Kentucky’s defense. Yes, the Jayhawks only had 11 turnovers.

But they also went 15 of 27 from the free-throw line.

captain. During the period 1888 to 1906, Camp was the unpaid “advisory head coach” of the Yale team.

Under Camp’s direction, Yale dominated college football. From 1883 to 1898, Yale enjoyed nine undefeated seasons. Further, the Bulldogs had their way with Harvard in the 27 games they played from 1875 through 1906, with Crimson winning only four times.

Camp was also instrumental on rule making within the American Football Association and led the gradual shift of the game away from rugby. Key to that separation was Camp’s push to reduce the number of players on the field for each team from 25 to 11 and control play through See YALE | Page B4

Alabama roll to No. 1 in ranking

By RALPH D. RUSSO AP Sports Writer

With just three weeks until the College Football Playoff committee releases its final rankings, Alabama, Oregon and Florida State seem to be in control of their championship chances.

Keeping winning and the Crimson Tide, Ducks and Seminoles should be in.

The race for the fourth and final spot in the playoff is shaping up to be a tussle between four teams.

Alabama jumped from fifth to first after handing previously undefeated and top-ranked Mississippi State its first loss on Saturday. The Bulldogs slid to fourth.

Oregon remained in second place and Florida State in third. The Seminoles are the only undefeated team left in a Big Five conference.

Florida State fans might not be happy about how their team is being treated, but the Seminoles appear to be safe if they can keep winning right through the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game.

Same goes with Alabama in the Southeastern Conference and Oregon in the Pac-12.

After that, things get complicated.

Mississippi State is followed by TCU, which slipped to No. 5 after a

closer-than-expected win against Kansas on Saturday. Ohio State moved up two spots to No. 6, ahead of TCU’s Big 12 rival Baylor.

The Bulldogs play Vanderbilt on Saturday but finish the regular season at Ole Miss, giving them a chance for another resume-boosting victory. They could use it because their best wins from early in the season (LSU, Texas A&M and Auburn) have been tarnished a bit lately.

Ohio State is in position to play in the Big Ten championship if it wins out.

The Big 12 has no conference championship game. TCU and Baylor would be co-champs if each finishes 11-1, but Baylor beat the Horned Frogs in Waco, Texas last month.

The selection protocol calls for the committee to use championships won as a tiebreaker if teams have similar resumes.

Selection Committee chairman Jeff Long said “the differences between teams four through seven are narrow, very narrow.”

Whether it’s narrow enough to allow TCU, Ohio State or Baylor to jump past Mississippi State if one of those teams wins its conference and Mississippi State doesn’t remains to be seen.

“I don’t think there is any way to project that,”

a series of downs. Camp also pioneered the procedure for awarding points for scores, blocking for the ball carrier and tackling below the waist.

By 1912, Camp, who also named an AllAmerica team each year, had been influential in adopting rules that allowed the forward pass and established four downs to make 10 yards and retain possession of the ball. Interlocking formations had been banned, touchdowns were worth six points and field goals three, and a game consisted of four 15-minute quarters. The resulting game was safer than in 1905 when 23 players died while playing football.

As treasurer of the Yale Athletic Association, Camp used his promotional skills to help create a significant revenue stream for Yale athletics, one equal to 13 percent of the university’s total income in the 1890s. At the same time, Yale Field, which held 33,000 in conventional bleachers, could not accommodate everyone who wanted a ticket to Yale games.

Harvard started the early stadium-building movement in 1903 when the university erected what was then the world’s biggest reinforced concrete structure and the first college football stadium.

The horseshoe-shaped facility, which initially accommodated 40,000 people, remains in use today.

Yale recognized its need for a larger football venue by appointing the Committee of 21 in 1910. The group set out to create a multisport complex that included a stadium with a capacity that, at the very least, would exceed that of

Harvard Stadium. According to Rich Marazzi, author of “A Bowl Full of Memories,” the committee became intrigued by a design from architect Charles Ferry, an 1871 Yale graduate, who met the committee’s basic requirements: seat 60,000, be fireproof, have easy entry and egress, be cheap and easy to maintain.

Ferry’s design, which mimicked the ancient Roman coliseum in Pompeii, called for earth to be excavated and piled around the edges of a mammoth hole to create a perimeter berm.

Concentric concrete tiers that would serve as seat platforms would be constructed completely around the oval floor and up to the original grade level. Wooden seat platforms would then rise up the face of the berm to the top and complete the up-

said Long, the athletic director at Arkansas. “It will certainly be weighed into the equation on Dec. 6 and 7.”

The committee releases its final rankings on Dec. 7, the day after most of the conference championship games are played.

Long said Alabama controlled the game in its 25-20 victory against Mississippi State enough to earn the big promotion this week. Alabama led by two scores in the fourth quarter and Mississippi State cut the lead to five with a touchdown with 15 seconds left.

Long referred to game control a few times this week. It’s not a metric used by the committee but a subjective discus-

sion about how the game was played.

TCU rallied for a 34-30 victory against Kansas, and Long noted how the Horned Frogs’ inability to control the game against struggling team negatively affected their resume.

Long also said a second straight road victory for Ohio State, this one against Minnesota after beating Michigan State the week before, helped the Buckeyes move up two spots. Still, an early season home loss to Virginia Tech is a mark against Ohio State.

“While they have certainly added to their resume and shown they are a better team, it doesn’t erase that loss,” Long said of the Buckeyes.

ward sweep of the seating. (Engineers knew the berm earth would settle, so they waited until 1920 to pour the upper concrete seat tiers.)

There would be no above ground structures, and every seat would have an unobstructed view of the field. The estimated cost of the stadium was $300,000, with another $450,000 estimated for land purchase, a baseball field and ground improvements. (An archivist at the Yale Library announced in 2004 that the actual Bowl cost had been $507,000.)

Financing for the stadium would come through subscriptions offered by the Committee of 21 to alumni and fans that guaranteed access to tickets for future games. The fundraising got a huge boost from a secret fund that Camp had created to support Yale football. The

committee withdrew $135,000 from Camp’s cache to help get the subscription drive off the ground.

According to Marazzi, committee member Noah Swain suggested calling the facility a “bowl.” David Daggett, the committee secretary, later said, “The word bowl has the added advantage of being short and suggestive of the general appearance of the structure looking at it from the top down.”

The name Yale Bowl later inspired the naming of the stadium built in 1922 by California’s Tournament of Roses Association — the Rose Bowl. The Yale Bowl also gave rise to the naming of holiday football games, starting with the first “bowl” game at the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1, 1923. The Orange and Sugar Bowls followed in 1935, and so on.

Celebrex side effects can be daunting Dear Dr. Roach: I am a 76-year-old woman with diabetes. My body, as I have been told, is bad with arthritis, for which I have been prescribed Celebrex. I have been taking this medication a few months now, and am definitely moving around with a lot less pain than I previously had. I recently watched a program that devoted the entire hour to Celebrex.

The program scared me out of my wits upon hearing the side effects of the medicine. I am asking your advice about whether to stop taking the Celebrex. — S.A. Answer: All medicines have risks, and in order to decide whether you should keep taking the medicine, you need to really understand what the risks are and balance them against the benefits you feel in your ability to move around more easily.

In the case of Celebrex, we have a pretty good idea of what the risks are. Like all related drugs (including ibuprofen and naproxen),

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health celecoxib (Celebrex) can damage the kidneys, so it isn’t recommended for people with existing kidney disease. There also can be allergic reactions, which may be related to allergies to sulfa drugs.

A few people have had vision changes. However, the most concerning risk is heart disease — both heart attacks and heart failure.

These risks definitely are increased among users of celecoxib. However, the absolute risk is small: There were about two extra cases of all heart events, including heart attack and heart failure, per thousand people taking 400 mg once daily, and six extra events in people taking 400 mg twice daily.

Those risks probably are higher if you are at increased risk for heart disease (which you probably are, because of your dia-

betes), but it still means less than 1 percent of people per year. If the medicine isn’t helping, the risk certainly isn’t worth it. However, only you can decide if the risk is worth the benefit.

Drug companies get into big trouble when they try to hide the risks of their medications, and honesty demands that we admit that all drugs and supplements have risks.

Only you can make that decision, but I think it’s up to us as doctors to have a frank discussion, especially about medications intended to be taken long-term.

Dear Dr. Roach: My mother lives in Florida.

Her major discomfort is fatigue and no energy.

I have asked her doctor to please give her a vitamin B-12 injection, even though her B-12, thyroid function, vitamin D and blood count are all in the normal range. Her doctor does not believe in B-12 injections. Do you think it might help? — J.L. Answer: Vitamin B-12 is necessary for proper

function in many tissues, but it is critical for blood cell production and neurologic function.

B-12 deficiency causes an unmistakable anemia (called megaloblastic anemia) and can cause neurologic and psychiatric disturbances even in some people with no anemia. The blood test for B-12 is quite reliable. The major cause of B-12 deficiency is an autoimmune disease that prevents the stomach from making intrinsic factor, which is necessary for efficient absorption of B-12. B-12 can be absorbed orally by people with pernicious anemia by taking very high doses, such as 1 mg. This gives as good a replacement as injection.

It was common 50 years ago to give B-12 injections as a “tonic.”

However, it offers no advantages for people with normal B-12 levels beyond the placebo response. As I have noted many times, the placebo response can be very powerful, and 1 mg of B-12 orally is very safe.

Attack victim was KC native KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A native of Kansas City, Mo., whose parents have played a prominent role in the area’s Jewish community, was among those killed in an attack at a crowded Jerusalem synagogue Tuesday.

Rabbi Kalman Levine, 55, born Cary William Levine, died along with two other U.S. citizens and a Briton when Palestinian attackers armed with meat cleavers and a gun burst into a synagogue during prayers.

Police said the four victims held dual Israeli citizenship. A police officer also died of his wounds hours after the attack.

Levine’s brotherin-law, Jonathan Bein of Boulder, Colo., said Levine studied the Talmud and Torah at the University of Southern California before leaving for Israel in his 20s.

“He was very committed to being in the land of Israel,” Bein told The Associated Press. “There are people, once they get there, their ethic is to never leave the land of Israel. He was one of those people.”

Levine’s son recalled his father’s dedication to his religious studies. “He would study all day long and would return home at night only to learn more until he would fall asleep in his chair,” the son said.

Levine was among the first class of graduates at Hyman Brand Hebrew Academy in Overland Park. The school said his parents, Bernard and Joan Levine, are committed supporters of Kansas City’s Jewish and art communities.

A man who answered the door Tuesday at the Kansas City address listed for his parents said the family didn’t want to talk. Another woman who arrived at the home also declined to comment.

“Those of us who knew Rabbi Levine, he was such a gentle, kind soul who was working in the area of pluralism and bringing people together,” said Alan Edelman, associate executive director of the Jewish Federation of Greater Kansas City. “He loved and respected every human being and believed we are all created in the image of God. For his life to end like this is more than ironic.”

Rabbi Meshulum Twersky, who teaches third- and fourth-grade Jewish studies at Hyman Brand, is a nephew of another victim, Rabbi Moshe Twersky.

Howard Haas, head of Hyman Brand Hebrew Academy, and Rabbi Daniel Rockoff, president of the Rabbinical Association of Greater Kansas City, expressed their condolences to the families of Levine and Twersky and said their deaths are a loss to the Jewish community.

“Both of these men personified Jewish ideals and values and were deeply committed to their families,” Rockoff said at a news conference.

Haas said Meshulum Twersky was in mourning with his family.

US reviews stance on hostage relations WASHINGTON (TNS) ­ The Obama adminis— tration is reviewing its policies for helping the families of Americans held hostage overseas, following criticism from Congress and families of captives later executed by the Islamic State.

Obama directed the review over the summer, given the “extraordinary nature of some of the hostage takings,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Tuesday.

The Department of Defense, the State Department, the FBI and the intelligence community are involved in the review.

The review, however, will not change the administration’s opposition to paying ransom to terrorist organizations to get detainees back, Earnest said.

News that the review

is ongoing comes days after the Islamic State said it had beheaded a third U.S. hostage, Peter Kassig, an American aid worker and former Army Ranger.

The review was prompted by “the increased frequency of hostage-taking of Americans overseas and the recognition of the dynamic threat posed by specific terrorist groups,” Christine Wormuth, the undersecretary of defense for policy, wrote last week in a letter to Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., that was first reported Monday by The Daily Beast.

The “comprehensive review” will look at U.S. government policy on overseas terrorist-related hostage cases, with “specific emphasis on examining family engagement, intelligence collection, and diplomatic engagement policies,”

Wormuth wrote.

The Islamic State has executed three U.S. hostages, including two journalists, James Foley and Steven Sotloff.

Families of some of the hostages have been critical of the administration for not doing enough to secure their release. Foley’s mother and brother complained after his death in August that Obama administration officials threatened that they would face prosecution if they raised money to pay Islamic State militants a ransom for Foley’s release.

Earnest said the administration’s dealings with families would be part of the review, but the White House would not say if any families are participating in the review.

Hunter, who sits on the House Armed Ser-

vices Committee, had written to Obama in August after Foley’s execution, saying he was concerned the administration was not “exhausting opportunities” to potentially bring back hostages. He urged the administration to direct a Pentagon official to oversee release efforts.

“While I commend the FBI and State Department for their efforts, it is my firm belief that we are not exhausting the full range of options,” he wrote.

Earnest said “significant resources” have been spent to recover U.S. hostages, noting that Obama had ordered a team of several dozen U.S. special forces operators into Syria earlier this summer in an attempt to rescue several American captives, including Foley. Once on the ground, the opera-

tors found that the hostages had been moved.

The administration will not reconsider its opposition to paying ransom because it believes that Americans would be at greater risk if terrorist organizations believed they could secure dollars by kidnapping Americans, Earnest said.

He said ransom payments — including from some countries that pay for their citizens’ release — is believed to be a “very important source” of financing for the Islamic State.

U.S. officials have estimated that the militants held a few Americans, but recent news reports have said one American hostage is left. State Department spokesman Jeff Rathke would not confirm how many hostages are still believed to be in captivity.
