The group returned to Allen County this week for final meetings with key officials.

Three Iolans will participate in an upcoming Honor Flight sponsored by Southern Coffey County High School, in which veterans are taken on a two-day trip to see various memorials at Washington, D.C. Iolans Larry Crawford, Curtis Meats and Duane McGraw are among the veterans included in the Nov. 11-12 trip.

They’ll be joined by Eddie and Doug Eckroat and Glen Collins, all of Piqua, Nathan and Lyle Brown, Jimmy Frye and Rodney Thummel, Yates Center, Sam Rogers, Le Roy, and several others from Coffey and surrounding counties, noted Jeff True, one of the organizers of the trip and a teacher at Southern Coffey County.

Next month’s trip is slightly different from previous excursions in that SCC alumni will serve as chaperones, and not current students, True said.

That’s because participants must be vaccinated, and the youths, for the most part, have not followed through. Youths as young as 12 can receive the vaccine.

Another Honor Flight will be in the spring. True said there are roughly 120 veterans on a waiting list.

It’s probably not surprising, but most Allen County families can’t afford to build a new house.

Another fact: Allen County’s housing vacancy rate is much higher than the state’s.

Those are some of the findings from a preliminary look at housing and economic development issues in Allen County.

Representatives of two companies, Atlas Community Studios and McClure, met with Thrive Allen County and area residents to wrap up several months of information gathering.

A look at the ’51 flood

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

The Allen County Historical Society will take a look back at the 1951 flood, which devastated much of the state, including Allen County The occasion is the Historical Society’s annual meeting, which begins at 6:30 p.m. Friday at the Frederick Funston Meeting Hall, 207 N. Jefferson Ave. A business meeting opens the activities, with the program on the 1951 flood — considered the “gold standard” of floods in these parts when

discussing natural disasters in the area.

With this year the 70th anniversary of the great flood, organizers agreed it made sense to invite a few of the locals who lived through the ordeal to share their memories.

A roundtable discussion will be followed by individual discussions for those who attend.

The meeting will be livestreamed on Facebook for those who cannot attend.

Those who do attend are asked to wear a mask, in accordance with the CDC’s protocol for COVID-19.

WASHINGTON — Democrats and Republicans alike have long expected next year’s midterm elections to hinge on the state of the coronavirus pandemic, the job market and former President Donald Trump’s influence on the GOP. Now, they see a new potential top issue emerging: inflation.

Political strategists from both parties are closely watching the price of everyday goods, which continue to rise at higher-than-expected rates, preparing to grapple with a pocketbook issue that could resonate with voters in a way it hasn’t in decades.

Republicans in particular see the issue as a potent one for the upcoming midterm campaign, increasingly putting rising inflation rates at the heart of their attacks on the economic policies of President Joe Biden and Democrats in Congress.

“I believe the economic challenges the country faces, with inflation leading them,

will be the single biggest concern to voters this cycle,” said Don Conston, president of the Congressional Leadership Fund, a super PAC with ties to House Republican leadership. “It’s already there, and likely that it will only intensify further going forward.”

Not everyone is so certain.

Economists say they don’t know if prices will continue to increase, and even if they do, political operatives say it’s unclear whether voters will blame the president.

But veteran Democrats

concede that it’s an issue they are now watching closely for the first time since the rampant inflation of the late 1970s and early 1980s, the latest in a string of challenges facing the Biden White House and the party.

“It’s like an old nightmare girlfriend from 40 years ago who shows up on your front steps,” said James Carville, chief strategist for Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign.

Obituary

Pfizer vaccine available soon for children, 5-11

Queen Eileen Rinehart

WASHINGTON (AP) — Children age 5 to 11 will soon be able to get a COVID-19 shot at their pediatrician’s office, local pharmacy and potentially even their school, the White House said today as it detailed plans for the expected authorization of the Pfizer shot for younger children in a matter of weeks.

Federal regulators will meet over the next two weeks to weigh the benefits of giving shots to kids, after lengthy studies meant to ensure the safety of the vaccines.

Within hours of formal approval, expected after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advisory meeting scheduled for Nov. 2-3, doses will begin shipping to providers across the country, along with smaller needles necessary for injecting young kids, and within days will be ready to go into the arms of kids on a wide scale.

The Biden administration notes the nationwide campaign to extend the protection of vaccination to the school-going cohort will not look like the start of the country’s vaccine rollout 10 months ago, when scarcity of doses and capacity issues meant a painstaking wait for many Americans. The country now has ample supplies of the Pfizer shot to vaccinate the roughly 28 million kids who will soon be eligible, White House officials said, and have been working for months to ensure widespread availability of shots once approved.

More than 25,000 pediatricians and primary care providers have already signed on to administer COVID-19 vaccine shots to kids, the White House said, in addition to the tens

Queen Eileen Rinehart, 96, died Friday, Oct. 15, 2021, in Humboldt.

She was born Oct. 14, 1925, to Otto Alfred and Cora Mae (Stroup) Powers in El Dorado. On Nov. 19, 1942, she married Thomas Greeley Rinehart. He preceded her in death.

Survivors include her children, Sandra Hamilton, John Rinehart, Peggy Murrell, and Patricia Millar.

Visitation is 6 to 8 p.m. Friday at The Venue at Feuerborn Family Funeral Service. Memorials are suggested to the American Heart Association and may be left with the funeral home at 1883 U.S. 54, Iola, KS 66749.

Kidnappers demand $17 million ransom

By MICHAEL WILNER The Miami Herald

WASHINGTON — The White House reiterated Tuesday its guidance to Americans not to visit Haiti, noting that a State Department warning against travel to the Caribbean nation is at its highest level as U.S. law enforcement grapples with a hostage crisis there involving 16 Americans.

Gang members who abducted the American missionaries and one Canadian national over the weekend outside of Port-au-Prince are demanding $1 million for the release of each hostage.

A Haitian government official said the gang 400 Mawozo made contact with the head of the missionaries’ Haiti mission on Saturday after their vehicle was hijacked at gunpoint in the area of La Tremblay east of the capital of Port-au-Prince. The source also added that Haiti’s cash-strapped government is not involved in any of the negotiations and is in no position to pay any ransom amount.

The request by the gang isn’t unusual.

Kidnapping gangs in Haiti usually start by

requesting high ransom amounts and negotiate down, often demanding payments in U.S. currency.

The abducted group worked for Ohio-based Christian Aid Ministries. The group said the ages of the adults being held captive range from 18 to 48, while the youngest victim is an 8-month-old baby. The remaining children are ages 3, 6, 13 and 15.

The group continued to request prayers, saying many people, including the charity’s management, and Haitian and U.S. authorities, “are working diligently to bring our loved ones home safely.”

White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters Tuesday that the Biden administration would decline to discuss details of the case until each American is freed and safe. But she said that longstanding U.S. policy against ransom payments has not changed.

“Kidnapping is widespread, and victims regularly include U.S. citizens,” Psaki said.

“We know these groups target U.S. citizens who they assume have the resources and finances to pay ransoms even if that is not the case.”

TNS PHTO of thousands of retail pharmacies that are already administering shots to adults. Hundreds of school- and community-based clinics will also be funded and supported by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to help speed putting shots into arms.

The White House is also preparing to mobilize a stepped-up campaign to educate parents and kids about the safety of the shots and the ease of getting them.

As has been the case for adult vaccinations, the administration believes trusted messengers — educators, doctors, and community leaders — will be vital to encouraging vaccinations.

While children are at lower risk than older people of having serious side effects from COVID-19, those serious consequences do occur — and officials note that vaccination both dramatically reduces those chances and will reduce the spread of the more transmissible delta variant in communi-

ties, contributing to the nation’s broader recovery from the pandemic.

“COVID has also disrupted our kids lives.

It’s made school harder, it’s disrupted their ability to see friends and family, it’s made youth sports more challenging,” U.S. surgeon general Dr. Vivek Murthy told NBC on Wednesday.

“Getting our kids vaccinated, we have the prospect of protecting them, but also getting all of those activities back that are so important to our children.”

Murthy said the administration, which is promoting employer vaccine mandates for adults, is leaving the question of requirements for schools to local and state officials, but called them “reasonable.”

“Those are decisions on, when it comes to school requirements, that are made by localities and by states,” he told NBC’s “Today.”

“You’ve seen already some localities and states talk about vaccine requirements for

kids. And I think it’s a reasonable thing to consider to get those vaccination rates high. And it’s also consistent with what we’ve done for other childhood vaccines, like measles, mumps, polio.”

The administration notes that kids who get their first shot within a couple weeks of the expected approval in early November will be fully vaccinated by Christmas.

The U.S. has purchased 65 million doses of the Pfizer pediatric shot — expected to be one third the dosage for adults and adolescents — according to officials. They will ship in smaller packages of about 100 doses each, so that more providers can deliver them, and they can be stored for up to 10 weeks at standard refrigeration temperatures.

About 219 million Americans aged 12 and up, or 66% of the total population, have received a COVID-19 shot and nearly 190 million are fully vaccinated.

‘What’s that?’ Affordable hearing aids on horizon WASHINGTON — The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday took a major step toward bringing down the cost of hearing aids by making them available over the counter.

The freedom to buy hearing aids without a fitting or test by a specialist is likely to make them cheaper and the market more competitive. The cost of hearing aids can run into the thousands. They often are not covered by insurance companies or traditional Medicare, the federal health program for people over 65, although private Medicare Advantage plans sometimes cover them.

Hearing loss can exacerbate isolation and loneliness in older adults, with serious implications for their quality of life and health.

Because of the price, a small fraction of adults

with hearing loss use them, and uptake is lower among low-income seniors and people of color.

The FDA called the rule a “landmark proposal.” Once finalized, the rule would create a new category of overthe-counter hearing aids targeting people with mild to moderate hearing loss who are less likely to need the help of an audiologist.

There will be a 90-day comment period, and the rule faces a 60-day implementation deadline after that.

Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said the regulation is personal to him, as his mother had been hoodwinked and struggled to get her money back from an unscrupulous manufacturer. Unregulated personal amplification devices have proliferated

because of the high cost of hearing aids.

“For some 30 million Americans who suffer from hearing loss, safe, effective and high-quality hearing aids are way too often out of their reach due to the high price tag,” Becerra said on a press call with reporters Tuesday. “I say that not just as the secretary of HHS but also the son of a mother who has had to go through multiple hearing aids and who is out several hundred dollars trying to get it back from one of

these manufacturers.”

The move is in keeping with a wide-ranging anti-monopoly executive order that President Joe Biden signed in July. The White House instructed the FDA to move within 120 days on over-the-counter hearing aid regulation required under a 2017 law.

The agency had blown past that deadline in the law, which called on the regulators to act within three years, amid a barrage of challenges related to the pandemic in 2020.

Maldives: Failure to limit warming a death sentence COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — A failure to limit global warming could mean a “death sentence” for small island nations like the Maldives, including the end of their livelihoods and cultures, the country’s environment minister said Wednesday.

Almost all countries signed the 2015 Paris climate accord, aimed at limiting global warming to 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) above levels in the late 19th century, and ideally no more than 1.5 C (2.7 F). But the world already has warmed nearly 1.1 C (2 F), scientists say.

A report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said

earlier this year that the world is likely to exceed the 1.5 C increase in the 2030s, earlier than expected.

“The difference between 1.5 degrees and 2 degrees, for us, really is a death sentence,” Aminath Shauna, the Maldives’ minister for environment, climate change and technology, said..

Speaking ahead of a key U.N. climate summit known as COP26 that starts in Glasgow, Scotland, on Oct. 31, she said she hopes the world will commit to largescale and rapid actions to limit warming to 1.5 C, and that failing to do so would leave small island nations struggling to survive.

received at least one dose of the vaccine, ac-

cording to the city.

The city previously mandated vaccines for public school teachers and the state has previously mandated vaccines for hospital workers.

City workers who get their first shot by Oct. 29 at a city-run vaccination site will get an extra $500 in their paycheck, the mayor’s said.

Workers who don’t show proof of vaccination by Oct. 29 will be placed on leave.

“We’ve got to end the COVID-era. Our police officers, our EMTs, our firefighters, all our public employees — a lot of them come in very close contact with their fellow New Yorkers,” de Blasio said in an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” after announcing the policy.

“They need to be safe.

Their families need to safe, but we also need to reassure all New Yorkers that if you’re working with a public employee, they’re vaccinated. Everyone’s going to be safe.”

Financial Focus

Plan Ahead Before Joining The “Great Resignation”

It’s been called the “Great Resignation” – the large number of Americans voluntarily leaving their jobs. If you plan to be part of it (ideally with another source of employment lined up), you’ll need to make the financial moves necessary to keep making progress toward your long-term goals.

Here’s some background: After a year in which the pandemic caused so many people to lose their jobs, the economy is opening back up, but the “quit rate” – the number of jobs people have voluntarily left – has been breaking records. Some economists say this high quit rate is because people are confident of getting better jobs, with higher pay and more flexibility to work at home, or because they are preparing to start their own business or join the gig economy.

If you’re thinking of joining this temporary migration from the workforce, how can you help ensure that you’ll be financially stable and can continue to make progress toward your long-term goals?

Your first move is to look clearly at your financial situation. As mentioned above, it’s best to have new employment in hand before you quit your job.

Alternatively, perhaps you have a spouse or life partner who earns enough to sustain the two of you, or you’ve built up an emergency fund that gives you a cushion.

However, if your short-term income is less than you previously earned or you need to go without a paycheck for a while, could you still pay your bills? If you are strapped for cash, you might be tempted to tap into your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan. But this move will generally result in taxes and, if you are younger than 591⁄2, a 10 percent penalty as well. Because of this, and because your retirement accounts are designed to be a financial resource after you retire, think twice before dipping into these funds if you leave your current employer.

If your employer allows it, you can leave your money in the 401(k) so you’ll still be accumulating resources for retirement. You also have the option to roll those funds into an individual retirement account (IRA) or a new employer’s retirement plan.

And if you plan to work for yourself as a freelancer, consultant or business owner, you’ll still want to save toward retirement. Possible retirement plans for the self-employed include an “owner-only” 401(k), a SEP-IRA or a SIMPLE IRA, all of which may be relatively easy to establish and offer tax benefits. A financial advisor can help you find a retirement plan that’s appropriate for your needs.

Here’s something else to keep in mind – an emergency fund. As mentioned above, if you already have one, you’ll have some breathing room if you’re thinking of leaving your job and might have a temporary gap in income. But as the name suggests, an emergency fund is there to help cover unexpected costs, such as a major home repair, without forcing you to take out a loan, or cash out part of your longer-term investments. So, if you are planning to tap your emergency fund, work to restock it as soon as possible.

If you’re participating in the “Great Resignation,” it means you’re feeling positive about your future employment prospects, which is great. But you’ll want to support that optimism with a strong financial foundation.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Topeka board should change name to honor its students The Seaman USD 345 School Board needs to do what’s right, not what’s popular.

Fred Seaman, who the school district is named for, was a known leader of the Ku Klux Klan. As a result, his name has no business being associated with a public school system in 2021. If even one child is emotionally wounded by such a historical dagger, the name should be changed.

At a recent school board meeting, the school district released a report after a months-long study into the name. The report included results of a survey it took gathering opinions of 3,557 people, with 56% of those surveyed being former Seaman students. Of those, 48% advocated keeping the name, 17% supported changing the name, 6% had no preference and 29% had no response.

Among the 47% surveyed who were Seaman parents, 53% supported keeping the name, 12% advocated changing the name, 11% had no preference and 24% had no response, the report said.

Those are pretty strong margins, and the respondents’ feelings should be considered. Strong ties and school spirit are associated with things like this.

Nevertheless, we still think change is needed. The district’s school board needs to exercise true leadership and make the potentially unpopular choice for the greater

good.

How can we expect our children to do better if we don’t set the example?

Board members acknowledged the strain the controversy has caused, as reported by The Capital-Journal’s Tim Hrenchir.

“It’s awful right now,” said board member and former president James Adams. “The tension is just a nightmare.”

Doing what’s right isn’t always easy. Doing what’s right isn’t always popular.

The Seaman school district has a long and proud history. Does that change with a name? Do the district’s accomplishments fade away with a new moniker? Not in our minds.

We’ve seen other local communities, such as Manhattan and Shawnee Mission, reflect about how their school names and mascots affect marginalized populations. We have a better understanding — or perhaps realization — of how names and images co-opted from Native Americans have racial implications.

A number of schools in Kansas have recognized this and made the needed changes, sometimes to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars.

We think USD 345 should do the same. The name of a leader in the Ku Klux Klan has no business memorialized in our schools.

— Topeka Capital-Journal

Committee must hold Bannon accountable It’s not surprising that former Donald Trump strategist Steve Bannon continues to thumb his nose at the law, but a congressional committee should not allow him to again escape legal responsibility.

The Jan. 6 committee is looking into details of the Capitol riot where Trump supporters attempted to prevent Congress from certifying President Joe Biden’s election victory.

The committee has deposed Bannon and three other Trump officials — former chief of staff Mark Meadows, former deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino and Kash Patel, who was serving as chief of staff to then-acting Defense secretary Christopher Miller.

The committee is facing opposition from Trump, who said he plans to fight subpoenas from the panel by using executive privilege.

The courts will weigh

whether Trump can make a claim for executive privilege, which traditionally is used by sitting presidents to keep deliberations confidential.

The committee has indicated it will take a tough stand against former Trump staffers who fail to comply to subpoenas and may issue contempt of Congress orders as soon as this week.

Bannon said he won’t testify, citing vague references to privileges of the former president. The committee needs to use all its authority to ensure Bannon is not allowed to dodge testifying.

He has a history of escaping justice. He was facing federal charges for stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from the “We Build the Wall” campaign, which was a fundraising initiative that raised $25 million to help build a U.S.-Mexico border wall.

But then-President Trump pardoned Bannon before his

Want opposing perspectives on the Holocaust? Try Texas

By LZ GRANDERSON Los Angeles Times (TNS)

Can you think of an opposing view on the Holocaust that isn’t antisemitic? Evidently, a school administrator in Texas seems to think so.

Gina Peddy, the executive director of curriculum and instruction for the Carroll Independent School District in Southlake, Texas, was caught on an audio recording telling teachers to “make sure that if you have a book on the Holocaust, that you have one that has an opposing, that has other perspectives.”

I hope she wasn’t proposing that teachers supply students with neo-Nazi propaganda.

This all started with Republican lawmakers in Texas looking for ways to have teachers talk about American history without making white people look bad. I kid you not.

When hysteria over critical race theory became all the rage in the past year, the Texas Legislature came up with House Bill 3979 — a great whitewashing effort that instructs teachers who choose “to discuss widely debated and currently controversial issues” to “explore such issues from diverse and contending perspectives without giving deference to any one perspective.”

Of course, before the CRT “threat,” Texas conservatives were already upset because the state’s new history standards point out that slavery played “the central role” in the Civil War — 155 years after the end of the Civil War. Until the 2019-2020 school year, students were taught the

war was caused by sectionalism and state’s rights, with slavery merely a third factor.

A look back in t me.

45 Years Ago October 1976

THE POLITICAL sanitiz-

ing got a booster shot with the passage of HB 3979, which prohibits any teacher from being trained on issues “that presents any form of race or sex stereotyping or blame on the basis of race or sex.” Can you think of a way to talk about American slavery without the role of race? How do you have an intelligent discussion about women’s suffrage without addressing the role of men? You don’t.

And that appears to be just fine for the 100 Republicans in the state Legislature — 95 of whom are white and only 13 are women. In a state that is more than 50% female and more than 56% people of color, HB 3979 is more like a bunker for the insecure than a thoughtful approach to pedagogy.

Texas state Sen. Kelly Hancock, a Republican, immediately took to Twitter to blame Peddy for her statement: “School administrators should know the difference between factual historical events and fiction,” he wrote, adding that “no legislation is suggesting the action this administrator is promoting.”

Seems like Hancock didn’t read HB 3979 at all.

Now, because this unnecessary law was created to prevent educators from teaching students about systemic racism, it’s quite possible Texas Republicans didn’t consider how it could apply to other issues. In other words, maybe getting neo-Nazi propaganda

case went to trial.

Bannon has a long history of spurring wild far-right conspiracy theories, but continues to get relatively strong support from many Republican leaders, even after Trump fired Bannon.

The committee has already received and is reviewing troves of documents and information about the Jan. 6 uprising, even as many current and former Republican leaders continue to oppose the committee’s work and claim the riot was not a serious assault on democracy and on Congress.

Bannon and the other former Trump administration officials can’t be allowed to escape justice. Bannon’s arguments for not testifying are specious. Fortunately, he doesn’t have a sitting president who will again protect him. ­— The Free Press, Mankato, Minn.

in the school library to balance out the Holocaust wasn’t part of the plan.

Still, I’m sure the KKK would love to circulate some pamphlets showing all the good that came from discriminating against Black people in education, housing, banking, employment, healthcare, criminal justice, to name a few issues. You know, just offering “other perspectives.”

Maybe if one of your state’s claims to fame is being the last in the nation to tell enslaved people that they’re free, suppressing information about race should not be a 2021 agenda item.

In apologizing for the incident, Supt. Lane Ledbetter of the Carroll Independent School District, said Peddy’s comments “were in no way to convey that the Holocaust was anything less than a terrible event in history” and “we recognize there are not two sides of the Holocaust.”

But the thing is, there are two sides — humanity versus Hitler. Peddy’s comments were reprehensible, but the

confusion is not surprising given the purpose of HB 3979, which is to provide cover for those who committed heinous acts while erasing the long-standing ramifications of those acts.

Of course, doing so requires that we ignore certain “factual historical events,” to borrow Hancock’s words.

Things like Texas’ declaration of secession in 1861, which, in part, stated: “We hold as undeniable truths that the governments of the various States, and of the confederacy itself, were established exclusively by the white race, for themselves and their posterity; that the African race had no agency in their establishment; that they were rightfully held and regarded as an inferior and dependent race, and in that condition only could their existence in this country be rendered beneficial or tolerable.”

Seems pretty racist to me. I can see why many Republican lawmakers don’t want to talk about it. At least, not factually.

US has few options to deal with Haiti’s violence crisis

By JACQUELINE CHARLES and MICHAEL WILNER Miami Herald/TNS

Citizens are afraid to leave their homes.

The security forces are weak. Armed gangs, known for kidnappings, extortion and random killings, act with impunity as they tighten their grip throughout Haiti.

With the brazen kidnapping of 16 Americans and one Canadian over the weekend on the outskirts of Portau-Prince highlighting Haiti’s disintegration into chaos, Washington and its international partners are realizing that there are few good options in confronting the deadly surge in gang violence and for-ransom kidnappings.

The Biden administration has already faced one crisis after another in the Caribbean nation: an electoral crisis with no parliament or locally elected officials; an assassinated president; a devastating earthquake; a surge of

Haitian migrants at the U.S. southern border and now the taking of American hostages.

Haiti’s deteriorating security climate, reflected in the weekend’s kidnappings, and the inability of its weak government and police force to control a proliferating gang problem has once more raised the specter of another intervention by foreign forces in the country.

What those forces would look like, who should control them and who pays for them remains a matter of debate in a divided nation

An American Legion Patriot Guard motorcycle caravan will escort the participants from Kansas City to Le Roy. Cost of the trip is upward of $30,000, with much of the fundraising spearheaded by the Le Roy Masons, True said.

“They’ve done a lot for us,” he said. “Fortunately, we’ve got some money saved up so we can do these trips.”

The emotional impact of escorting the veterans is one True won’t soon forget.

“Short of getting married and having three boys who are doing pretty well, this trip is one of the most special moments of my life,” True said.

As more trips are scheduled, and the waiting list for veterans grows smaller, True is eager to hear from others who would like to be included in future Honor Flights. (The cost is free for the veterans.)

Next month’s trip will include stops at memorials for the U.S. Armed Services branches, as well as World War II, Korea and Vietnam wars, as well as a visit to Arlington National Cemetery.

Honor Flights were curbed last year because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The goal is to resume the twice-a-yearexcursions, True said.

where the only thing Haitians seem to agree on is that the status quo cannot remain, and drastic change is needed.

“It is true that foreign interventions have left a trail of sorrow and have at best been a shortlived palliative that never addressed the deep inequalities of Haiti’s political economy that are in fact the cause of the nation’s current predicament,” said Robert Fatton, a Haiti-born political scientist at the University of Virginia who closely monitors the country. “That said, it is clear that the

in a statement. Members of the Mennonite community, many are new to Haiti, according to a source who knows some of the missionaries who were grabbed at gunpoint.

White House Spokeswoman Jen Psaki confirmed that the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince is in touch with the families of the abducted, and that the FBI is working toward their release.

There was no word if the gang, which was also behind the abduction in April of Catholic clergy, has requested a ransom.

“The president has been briefed and is receiving regular updates on what the State Department and the FBI are doing to bring these individuals home safely,” Psaki said. “The FBI is part of a coordinated U.S. government effort to get the U.S. citizens involved to safety. Due to operational considerations, we’re not going to go into too much detail on that, but can confirm their engagement.”

Biden has been briefed with increasing frequency by his national secu-

rity team on Haiti ever since the July assassination of President Jovenel Moïse. But a presidential briefing on the weekend kidnappings reflects the size and significance of the crisis.

“The only country the gangs are afraid of is the U.S. If the U.S. doesn’t do anything to get the missionaries out without paying a ransom, it will open the door for I don’t know how many kidnappings a day,” said Alex Saint Surin, a popular Miami-based Haitian broadcaster. “There will be no exceptions, not even for diplomats.

The U.S. will be giving a blank check to the gangs, saying ‘go ahead and do it every day.’ ” The United Nations said in the first eight months of this year, police recorded 328 kidnapping victims compared with 234 for all of 2020. But a human rights organization tracking abductions, the Center for Analysis and Research in Human Rights, said the numbers have increased by 300% between July and August.

Inflation: Republicans target the issue Continued from A1

emergency” but a “matter of some concern.”

The Bureau of Labor Statistics recently released data showing that prices have risen 5.4% over the last year, according to the consumer price index, which tracks the cost of housing, food, energy and other items. It was the largest year-overyear rise in 13 years, well above the Federal Reserve’s target of a 2% rate of increase. That has led to growing fears in economic and political circles that inflation could continue into 2022.

The data was also released the same week that concerns about supply-chain disruptions at the nation’s ports crested, with the Biden administration announcing that the Port of Los Angeles would operate 24 hours a day to help relieve the logjam there.

White House officials have for months fended off questions about their concern over inflation, saying the price increases are only temporary and mostly a consequence of the economy returning to normal after the worst of the pandemic.

country’s climate of impunity nurtured by a total void of legitimate authority cannot last long.”

While most Haitians would likely reject a foreign “peace-keeping” mission in Haiti, Fatton said, it remains a strong possibility if the situation continues to deteriorate and Haitian political factions fail to achieve a historic compromise to forge a different future.

On Monday, fed up with the security situation, Haitians stayed home as part of a nationwide general strike that kept the streets of Port-au-Prince empty.

The strike was called by the country’s business and transportation sector last week, but took on greater meaning after Saturday’s abductions of the group of 17 missionaries, which included five children.

The missionaries worked for Ohio-based Christian Aid Ministries, and were taken hostage while returning from visiting an orphanage east of Port-auPrince, the charity said

about rising prices.

A Pew Research Center survey from late last month found that 63% of Americans said they were “very concerned” about rising prices for food and consumer goods, topping the other economic issues they were asked about.

And according to a Fox News poll from mid-September, 82% of voters said they were concerned about inflation and higher prices, more than any other issue, including the pandemic and situation in Afghanistan.

Republican operatives argue that the longer inflation remains a concern, the more likely voters are to naturally blame the party in power in Washington. They say that will especially be the case if Biden’s job performance rating on the economy as a whole remains low.

Less than 40% of voters approved of Biden’s handling of the economy in a new Quinnipiac University poll, while two-thirds of voters said the economy was going in the wrong direction in the latest Politico/Morning Consult survey.

“If inflation continues to rise, I think it’s very problematic for

Democrats. It’s something we haven’t seen in 40 years,” said Glen Bolger, a veteran Republican pollster. “The longer this goes on, the more it impacts the economy and the mood of voters.

Voters are nervous.”

Republicans have heavily criticized Biden and the Democrats on a variety of fronts over the past nine months, ranging from immigration to crime to Afghanistan. But inflation has been among the most prominently featured issues in their early paid media campaigns.

The NRCC, CLF, and its associated nonprofit group, American Action Network, have all aired TV or digital ads over the last three months blaming vulnerable House Democrats and their policies for rising prices.

Officials with those groups say they expect that messaging to continue heading into the election year.

“This is going to be an issue all the way through to the midterms,” NRCC Chairman Tom Emmer said in an interview.

“This will come back to bite them at the ballot box in 2022.”

While Republicans say inflation could have particular resonance

with independents, suburbanites and seniors, they argue the issue is uniquely consequential because it directly affects Americans across the board.

“You’ll hear candidates talking about it over and over and over again, because it’s a way to make the consequences of failed leadership real to average voters,” said John Ashbrook, a Republican strategist and former aide to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Some Democratic pollsters say they are now asking voters about inflation for the first time in recent memory, while other operatives say the issue comes up organically in focus groups.

And they acknowledge that average voters are noticing the rising prices and are concerned about them.

But Democrats also say that if the rate of inflation starts to decrease over the next several months, the issue could become a moot one for the public by November 2022. And even if it does continue to increase, they argue that Biden and congressional Democrats aren’t necessarily going to receive the brunt of the blame.

Man arrested in teen’s death

PITTSBURG, Kan. (AP) — A Tennessee man has been charged with first-degree murder after a Kansas woman was shot to death during the weekend.

Bri'yon E. Baker, 23, of Mount Boswell, Tennessee, was charged Monday in the death of Jase E. Delich, 18, of Pittsburg.

Officers went to a Pittsburg apartment Sunday night when a caller reported seeing a bleeding woman on the floor inside, The Joplin Globe reported. Delich was pronounced dead when first responders arrived.

Witness accounts and surveillance video identified Baker as a suspect, police said. He was arrested later that night.

Jan. 6 panel to hold Bannon in contempt WASHINGTON (AP) — A House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection voted unanimously to hold former White House aide Steve Bannon in contempt of Congress after the longtime ally of former President Donald Trump defied a subpoena for documents and testimony.

Still defending his supporters who broke into the Capitol that day, Trump has aggressively tried to block the committee’s work by directing Bannon and others not to answer questions in the probe.

Trump has also filed a lawsuit to try to prevent Congress from obtaining former White House documents.

But lawmakers have made clear they will not back down as they gather facts and testimony about the attack involving Trump’s supporters that left dozens of police officers injured, sent lawmakers running for their lives and interrupted the certification of Joe Biden’s presidential election victory.

The committee’s chairman, Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., said Tuesday that Bannon “stands alone in his complete defiance of our subpoena” and the panel will not take no for an answer.

He said that while Bannon may be “willing to be a martyr to the disgraceful cause of whitewashing what happened on January 6th

— of demonstrating his complete loyalty to the former president,” the contempt vote is a warning to other witnesses.

“We won’t be deterred. We won’t be distracted. And we won’t be delayed,” Thompson said.

The Tuesday evening vote sends the contempt resolution to the full House, which is expected to vote on the measure Thursday. House approval would send the matter to the Justice Department, which would then decide whether to pursue criminal charges against Bannon.

The contempt resolution asserts that the former Trump aide and podcast host has no legal standing to rebuff the committee — even as Trump’s lawyer has argued that Bannon should not disclose information because it is protected by the privilege of the former president’s office. The committee noted that Bannon, fired from his White House job in 2017, was a private citizen when he spoke to Trump ahead of the attack. And Trump has not asserted any such executive privilege claims to the panel itself, lawmakers said.

Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney — one of just two Republicans on the committee, and a rare GOP critic of Trump — said Bannon and Trump’s privilege arguments suggest the former president was “personally involved” in the planning and execution of the day’s events.

GARNETT — Sluggish starts doomed Iola High’s chances to come out on top against opponents Anderson County and Prairie View Tuesday night.

Iola lost to Prairie View, 2-0 and Anderson County, 2-0.

Prairie View won the first set 25-12 and the second set 25-11 to sweep Iola.

Rio Lohman and Jackie Fager each had three kills.

Kaysin Crusinbery had eight assists to go with nine digs. Chloe Sell had 12 digs.

Against Anderson County, Iola lost the first set 25-14 after rallying to within two points. The second set was Iola’s best performance of the night, overcoming a 5-0 deficit to tie the set at 6-6. Both teams exchanged the lead with the set tied 23-23 late.

Anderson County pulled away to win the set 25-23 and sweep Iola.

Crusinbery scored eight points with seven assists against Anderson County.

Dodgers, Astros win late LOS ANGELES (AP) — Cody Bellinger hit a tying, three-run homer and Mookie Betts then lined an RBI double as the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied in the eighth inning, beating Atlanta 6-5 Tuesday and cutting the Braves’ lead in the NL Championship Series to 2-1.

The Dodgers were down to their final five outs when Bellinger drove a two-strike pitch from Luke Jackson into the right-field pavilion, igniting the blue towel-waving crowd, some of whom had already left with LA trailing 5-2.

Chris Taylor singled, stole second and moved to third on pinch-hitter Matt Beaty’s groundout. Betts followed with a double off Jesse Chavez to right-center.

Game 4 is today at Dodger Stadium.

Middle school ends with split

By REESE BECKER The Iola Register

WELLSVILLE — Iola Middle’s seventh and eighth grade football teams were in Wellsville Monday to end its season in the Pioneer Bowl The seventh-grade team lost 6-0, while the eighthgrade team won 30-6.

The only score in the seventh-grade game was in the third quarter, other than that, it was a defensive master class by both teams.

Kale Pratt led the Mustangs on offense with 68 yards rushing and had a good day on defense with seven tackles. Iola’s Austin Crooks led the defense with 11 tackles. Ruger Boren also recovered a fumble to go with his five tackles.

The seventh-grade squad finished its season second in the Pioneer League.

Iola’s eighth-grade team raced out to a 24-6 lead after an 18-point second quarter to break a 6-6 tie.

Running back Tre Wilson ran for 120 yards and two touchdowns in his final middle school game. Wilson also made 15 tackles. Iola’s Jakolby Hill had six tackles and the Mustangs’ only sack. The Mustang defense held Wellsville to one touchdown.

With the win, Iola’s eighthgrade team winds up third in the Pioneer League.

“It has been a good year for IMS football,” said Iola Middle head coach Scott Ellis. “Having two winning seasons for both grade levels is an accomplishment for the teams. We

HUMBOLDT — The Humboldt High volleyball team finished off a wildly successful regular season Tuesday.

Humboldt (28-8) wasted little time in dispatching Fredonia, 25-15 and 25-13, and Leon-Bluestem, 25-15 and 25-22.

The victories clinched second place in Humboldt’s

Class 3A Substate final standings at 28-8, behind only powerhouse Eureka (32-1).

That also gives Humboldt the second seed in Saturday’s Substate Tournament with a berth in next week’s state tournament on the line.

Tournament pairings were to be released later today.

Wildcat teams end regular season with road defeats EUREKA — Yates Center High’s volleyball team ended the regular season on a tough note, against a pair of tough opponents.

The Wildcats traveled to Eureka for a triangular competition Tuesday, along with Eureka.

Yates Center fell in both matches, falling to Neodesha, 25-19 and 25-23, and to Eureka, 25-7 and 25-10.

Of note, both Eureka (32-1) and Neodesha (26-9) are among the top-rated Class 3A teams in the state.

The losses put Yates Center’s final regular season record at 18-10.

The Wildcats are in Lyndon Saturday for the Class 2A Substate Tournament.

Yates Center finished in fifth in the Lyndon Substate standings, and thus would hold the fifth seed, but tournament pairings had yet to be announced at press time.

Marmaton Valley’s volleyball team ended the regular season on a dour note, dropping both of its matches at Marais Des Cygnes Valley.

The Wildcats fell to Northeast, 25-10 and 2725, and to host MDCV, 25-9 and 25-20.

The setbacks leave MV in fourth place, and thus the likely fourth

seed at Marmaton Valley’s Class 1A-I Substate Tournament Saturday.

Marmaton Valley (2313), is one of five teams with a winning record headed into Saturday’s

tournament, which will be held in Moran.

St. Paul (27-4) is the top team in the standings followed by Burlingame (23-7), Madison/ Hamilton (20-11), the

host Wildcats and Crest (18-16).

The state tournaments for both Class 2A and Class 1A-I will be in Dodge City Oct. 29 and 30.

Bucks open title defense with win; Warriors stun L.A. MILWAUKEE (AP) — Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks didn’t let the celebration of the franchise’s first NBA championship in half a century distract them as they opened their title defense.

In his first game since scoring 50 points in a title-clinching Game 6 NBA Finals victory over the Phoenix Suns, Antetokounmpo had 32 points, 14 rebounds and seven assists to lead the Bucks to a 127-104 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday night.

“We’re part of history,” Antetokounmpo said. “I’m excited. But now it’s over with.

We’ve got to focus on building good habits, keep moving forward and keep playing good basketball and hopefully we can repeat this again this year, next year and all the years that we’re going to be here down the road.”

Khris Middleton and Pat Connaughton each added 20 points to help the Bucks withstand the loss of Jrue Holiday, who sat out the second half with a bruised right heel after scoring

12 points. Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer said MRI results on Holiday were encouraging.

Kevin Durant led the Nets with 32 points and 11 rebounds. Patty Mills scored 21 points and shot 7 of 7 from 3-point range. James Harden added 20 points.

“We weren’t very good,” Brooklyn coach Steve Nash said. “If you’re not playing at a high level against the champs, you’re not going to win.”

The Nets were missing star guard Kyrie Irving, who isn’t with the team due to his refusal to get a COVID-19 vaccine.

A New York mandate requires professional athletes on local teams to be vaccinated to practice or play in public venues. Rather than using Irving exclusively in road games, the Nets decided he wouldn’t play or practice with them at all until he could be a full participant.

After receiving their rings, raising a banner and watching a highlight video of their first NBA championship since 1971, the Bucks defeated the team that

nearly eliminated them in the second round of the playoffs. Antetokounmpo acknowledged that he teared up a little bit during the pregame ceremony.

“When they were playing those videos, you cannot help yourself but get emotional,” Antetokounmpo said.

“Looking back to the journey, where we started from and where we are right now.”

Milwaukee rallied from a 2-0 deficit and won Game 7 at Brooklyn in overtime after Durant’s foot barely crept across the 3-point arc in the final seconds of regulation, turning a potential series-winning 3-pointer into a game-tying 2-point basket.

The Bucks went on a 21-4 run in the first quarter to extend a 10-8 advantage to 31-12.

They got the lead back up to 19 again in the second quarter and were ahead 66-59 at halftime.

The lead never dropped below seven the rest of the way.

Milwaukee outrebounded Brooklyn 54-44 and took 21 more shots than the Nets.

“We were climbing uphill all game,” Durant said.

Milwaukee got 15 points from Jordan Nwora and 10 from Grayson Allen.

Warriors top Lakers

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Stephen Curry had 21 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists for the Golden State Warriors, who rallied from 10 points down to stun LeBron James, Anthony Davis and the new-look Los Angeles Lakers 121-114 in a season opener Tuesday night.

The loss spoiled opening night in Hollywood, where superstars James and Davis played brilliantly for three quarters before the Lakers went cold in the fourth.

James had 34 points and 11 rebounds, while Davis had 30 points and 11 rebounds. No other Lakers scored in double figures.

Russell Westbrook shot just 4 for 13 for eight points in his Lak-

ers debut.

The Lakers had an 8474 lead late in the third quarter after a jumper

by Kent Bazemore, but the Warriors slowly closed the gap.

Curry made three free throws in the closing seconds of the third quarter after he was fouled taking a 3-pointer, and Jordan Poole and Damion Lee hit 3-pointers early in the fourth.

Poole’s layup with 9:17 left put the Warriors ahead for good at 91-90, and he finished with 20 points. The Warriors expanded the lead to 98-90 before the Lakers twice closed within two points.

But Curry and Nemanja Bjelica each hit 3-pointers to give the Warriors some breathing room. Bjelica had 15 points and 11 rebounds, while Lee also scored 15 points.

Davis and James dominated for much of the game while welcoming a slew of new teammates, including L.A. native

and former league MVP Westbrook, Carmelo Anthony, Rajon Rondo, Dwight Howard and DeAndre Jordan.

L.A., which won the NBA title in the bubble in October 2020, retooled after losing to the Phoenix Suns in the first round of last season’s playoffs. The Lakers retained just three players — James, Davis and Talen Horton-Tucker, who’s out with a thumb injury.

James and Davis made 3-pointers and fallaway jumpers. In one remarkable sequence, James saved an errant pass and flicked it to Davis, who slammed it home for a 68-61 lead with 7:51 to go in the third quarter.

The Lakers, who went 0-6 in the preseason, led 59-53 at halftime.

Golden State remains without All-Star guard Klay Thompson, who continues to rehab an Achilles tendon injury that cost him the entire 2021 season

Iola: Drops pair in Garnett Continued from B1

Jenna Curry led the Mustangs going 6/6 on serves with four digs.

Aysha Houk had 13 digs.

“We finished better than we started,” said Iola head coach Amanda Holman on Iola’s improvement throughout the night.

“We are just trying to prepare the girls for seasons to come and build from there. We don’t

want to backtrack. We want to set ourselves up for the future.”

The immediate future for Iola is Saturday when the girls will be in Labette County for the 4A sub-state tournament. The Mustangs will be in a play-in game against Topeka-Hayden.

The winner of that game will face Labette County, the top seed in the bracket.

ninth, Kenley Jansen struck out the side to earn the save, the ninth pitcher used by the Dodgers.

They ran through a combined 15 in the first two games.

After getting staggered with back-toback walk-off losses in Atlanta, the Dodgers returned home, where they’ve dominated the Braves in recent years and were an MLB-best 58-23 during the regular season.

The Braves haven’t won at Dodger Stadium since June 8, 2018. It sure looked like they’d end that skid after leading 5-2 in the fifth.

But the 106-win Dodgers staged another improbable comeback late, just like they’ve done so often this postseason.

They beat St. Louis in the NL wildcard game, then edged 107-win San Francisco in Game 5 of the NL Division Series on Bellinger’s tiebreaking single in the ninth inning.

Last year, the Dodgers rallied from a 3-1 deficit to beat the Braves in the NLCS. The Braves built their lead with a bunch of singles, pounding out 12 hits. Freddie Freeman broke out of his slump, going 3 for 4 with a walk and a run scored after he struck out seven times in eight atbats in the first two games.

The Los Angeles Dodgers’ Cody Bellinger hits a tying three-run home run in the eighth inning against Atlanta Tuesday. LOS ANGELES TIMES/ROBERT GAUTHIER/TNS ed by offense — especially Boston’s — the teams traded first-inning homers and then both pitching staffs put up six straight zeros on the Fenway scoreboard before Altuve’s leadoff shot in the eighth.

Carlos Correa doubled and scored the go-ahead run on Jason Castro’s two-out single in the ninth. But that was just the beginning for Houston, which had seen Boston bully its pitchers for 10 homers in the series, including a record-setting three grand slams that turned Games 2 and 3 into routs.

After Alex Bregman hit a solo homer into the Green Monster seats in the first, Xander Bogaerts topped it with a towering, two-run drive onto Lansdowne Street in the bottom half to give the Red Sox a 2-1 lead.

Then, the pitchers took over: It was still 2-1 when Altuve led off the eighth with a homer against Garrett Whitlock.

Running out of

Houston 9, Boston 2

BOSTON (AP) — Jose Altuve hit a tying home run in the eighth inning and the Houston offense awakened with seven runs in the ninth on Tuesday night as the Astros came back to beat the Boston Red Sox 9-2, evening the AL Championship Series at two games apiece.

Six outs from falling behind 3-1 in the best-of-seven series and facing a Game 5 in Fenway Park — where Boston hadn’t lost all postseason — the defending AL champions instead guaranteed themselves at least one game back in Houston.

In a series that had been dominat-

Game 2 winner Nathan Eovaldi, making his first relief appearance since he was coming back from an injury in 2019, came on for the ninth and gave up Correa’s leadoff double.

With two outs and two on, Castro singled in Correa to give Houston the lead.

And the Astros just kept on scoring.

Michael Brantley hit a three-run double.

Yordan Alvarez added an RBI single. Correa reached on a run-scoring infield single. Kyle Tucker singled in another run.

The Red Sox, who were the first team in major league history to have double digits in hits six straight times in a single postseason, had just five on Tuesday — two of them trailing by seven in the ninth.

Eovaldi took the loss, allowing four runs while recording just two outs.

Kendall Graveman, the fifth Houston pitcher, threw two scoreless innings for the win.
