IHS building Cheating scandal trades class detailed shifts focus

Calls to the 911 dispatch center average one almost every 10 minutes. And while that may sound a little slow, played out over 24 hours a day and every day of the year, the total comes to 55,000. “That’s what we received last year,” Angie Murphy, dispatch center director, told Allen County commissioners Tuesday morning. The call total — she figures half or more are for true emergencies — wasn’t the point of her appearance, but the magnitude of the number captivated commissioners. Murphy was before commissioners to request a 20 percent increase in the department’s budget for 2012, up $126,000 over this year’s $490,000. The increase seemed pretty hefty. Murphy reasoned health insurance will cost an additional $50,000 and another $6,000 was expected for Kansas Public Em-

The investigators also found a “culture of fear, intimidation and retaliation” in the school district over the cheating allegations, which led to educators lying about the cheating or destroying

LE ROY — Unlike the mechanized behemoths of today, Ray Whiteley’s mowing outfit was considerably quieter. His “engine” — a pair of 1,200-pound mules — needed only an occasional break from the stifling summer heat as Whiteley traversed his way around an 18acre prairie hay meadow. “It’s a little warm, so we’ve been taking it easy,” Whiteley said. “It’s our little hobby.” The mules were pulling Whiteley’s antique sickle bar mower, a small wagon with cutting bar

Obituary

Comments ‘not elegantly stated’

Joan Morrison, 83, Moran, passed away Sunday, Sept. 16, 2012, at her home. She was born April 11, 1929, in Kansas City, Kan., the only child of Earl Geraud and Angie Mae (Hunziker) Schone. Joan attended grade school at Longfellow and Hawthorne schools in Kansas City. In 1940 her family Joan Morrison moved to Uniontown, where she completed seventh grade through high school. Joan graduated as valedictorian from Uniontown High School in 1946. During high school she worked after school and on Saturdays at Stroud’s Grocery in Uniontown. Following high school she began working in the office of Key Work Clothes, Inc. in Fort Scott. On Jan. 18, 1953, Joan married Orval Morrison at the First Baptist Church in Uniontown. She worked for Key for almost 20 years and only stopped working there due to their desire to have a family. They made their home on farms near Moran until 1960, when they purchased his parents’ farm northeast of Moran. Joan loved life in the country. In 1966 she began her “temporary part-time” job for Moran Truck Lines, then McAdam companies. This “temporary” job lasted for almost 46 years. Joan worked up until the time of her passing. In 1968 Joan and

Chicago teachers consider settlement CHICAGO (AP) — Teachers in the nation’s third-largest city will pore over the details of a contract settlement today as the clock ticks down to an afternoon meeting in which they are expected to vote on whether to end a seven-day strike that has kept 350,000 students out of class. Some union delegates planned to take a straw poll of rank-and-file teachers to measure support for a settlement that includes pay raises and concessions from the city on the contentious issues of teacher evaluations and job security. But many warned the outcome remained uncertain two days after delegates refused to call

off the walkout, saying they didn’t trust city and school officials and wanted more details. “It takes a lot to start a strike. You don’t want to prematurely end it,” said Jay Rehak, an English teacher and union delegate who planned to survey his colleagues at Whitney M. Young Magnet High School before voting at a meeting scheduled for this afternoon. As parental support for the strike waned, teachers came under pressure to quickly decide on the tentative contract that labor and education experts — and even some union leaders — called a good deal for the Chicago Teachers Union.

By KASIE HUNT and STEVE PEOPLES Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — Already scrambling to steady a struggling campaign, Republican Mitt Romney confronted a new headache Monday after a video surfaced showing him telling wealthy donors that almost half of all Americans “believe they are victims” entitled to e x t e n s ive government support. He added that as a candidate for the White H o u s e , Mitt Romney “my job is not to worry about those people.” At a hastily called news conference late in the day, Romney offered no apologies for his remarks and when he was asked if he was concerned he had offended anyone, he conceded the comments weren’t “elegantly stated” and they were spoken “off the cuff.” President Barack Obama’s campaign quickly seized on the video, obtained by the magazine Mother Jones and made public on a day that Romney’s campaign said it needed a change in campaign strategy to gain momentum in the presidential race. Romney aides were already working behind the scenes to calm dissension in the GOP ranks and reassure nervous donors and consultants about the state of a race some Republicans worry may be getting away from their nominee. “There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what,” Romney is shown saying in a video posted online by the magazine. “There are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe that

government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it.” “Forty-seven percent of Americans pay no income tax,” Romney said. Romney said in the video that his role “is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.” In his remarks to reporters before a fundraiser Monday night in Costa Mesa, Calif., Romney did not dispute the authenticity of the hidden-camera footage, but he called for the release of the full video, instead of the clips posted online. He sought to clarify his remarks but did not apologize. “It’s not elegantly stated, let me put it that way. I was speaking off the cuff in response to a question. And I’m sure I could state it more clearly in a more effective way than I did in a setting like that,” Romney said. “Of course I want to help all Americans. All Americans have a bright and prosperous future.” About 46 percent of Americans owed no federal income tax in 2011, although many of them paid other forms of taxes. More than 16 million elderly Americans avoid federal income taxes solely because of tax breaks that apply only to seniors, according to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center. Obama’s campaign called

the video “shocking” “It’s hard to serve as president for all Americans when you’ve disdainfully written off half the nation,” Obama campaign manager Jim Messina said in a statement. The private remarks are the latest in a string of comments from the multimillionaire Republican businessman whom Democrats have criticized as out of touch. During the primary campaign, Romney insisted that he was “not concerned” about the very poor, said he knew what it felt like to worry about being “pink-slipped,” and said that his wife drove a “couple of Cadillacs.” Aides to Obama’s campaign said the latest video would help them continue to make the case that Romney doesn’t understand the concerns of average Americans. Romney said he would not shy away from the message behind the remarks — that Obama believes in a “government-centered society.”

Humboldt man celebrates show’s 1,000th By TERRY BROYLES Humboldt Correspondent

HUMBOLDT—“Best of America by Horseback,” on RFD TV, marked its 1,000th airing with a celebration in Cleveland earlier this month. The show’s co-host, Humboldt’s Delbert “Del” Shields, was there for the event. “For me to see the show reach that 1,000 mark makes me proud to be a part of that,” Shields said. “I’ve seen other shows that didn’t last more than a year or two, but we’ve been on for seven years.” Producer Tom Seay had the idea for a show featuring unique and beautiful locations as seen mounted on a horse. Today it is a top-rated trail riding show, reaching 41 million homes and 18 European countries. Shields’ spot on the show is a result of a recommendation made by people he met from Virginia while performing a house concert. “At that time, I was shoeing horses and doing some entertaining,” he said. “These people asked me to do a concert at their house and some folks that know Tom were there. They knew Tom was putting a show together and they thought I was what he was looking for.” Shields auditioned for the co-host role in Dallas. “We must have hit it off pretty good,” he said.

Local cowboy and entertainer Delbert Shields wears the hand-beaded bolo he received from the great-grandson of Sitting Bull, Chief Michael Kills Pretty Enemy, during a celebration for “Best of America by Horseback” in Cleveland. The show started in 2005; by 2008 Shields was asked to be the featured entertainer. In 2009, he led a group from Mexico to Canada on horseback for the show. He was promoted to co-host. “The 1,000th airing celebration was supposed to be a tribute to the trail rider,” he said. “But, those who came turned it around to honor the show. It was neat to hear the heart and spirit of the people we’ve met and how they’re involved

CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Department of Aviation is looking for a few good goats. WFLD-TV reported Chicago recently put out a bid for someone to supply goats to trim the grass at O’Hare International Airport. The bid also calls for a goat herder. Amy Malick is the department’s point person for sustainability, and she said the city is looking at a pilot program of 30 goats to eat grass and weeds in one, hardto-mow area. The area is outside the security fence, so there’s no danger of goats straying onto unways. Malick adds that the department also worries about pollution produced by mechanical mowers, so they’re turning to the four-legged variety.

different style of living.”

HUMBOLDT—Jerry Stephens is happy to be back in his hometown. Shortly after graduating from Humboldt High School in 1971, he moved to Colorado and eventually landed in Santa Barbara, Calif. It’s been 40 years since he lived here. “I am happy to be back in Humboldt where I grew up,” Stephens said. “I always thought Humboldt was a pretty good little town.” While in Santa Barbara the past 30 years, Stephens worked as a computer operations supervisor with a bank holding company and managed the apartment complex where he lived. “My job was changing in California, which presented the opportunity to move,” he said. “Coming to Kansas became very attractive. “In a small town, there is a neighbor ethic that inclines people to help each other,” he continued. “It’s a

STEPHENS became director of the Humboldt Housing Authority Aug. 1, managing the HUD property, the maintenance staff and communicating with tenants. Stephens replaces Dale Marney, who held the position more than 20 years. “I’m a people person,” Stephens said. “I’d say I’m in tenant services and excited to be here at the authority office. Moving here — the unexpected job opportunity — the timing was great.” Stephens moved with his wife, Lorraine, and son, Simon, a third-grade student, into his family home in July. “Yes, we are living where I grew up,” Stephens said. “I’ve owned the house a long time, so when we decided to move to Humboldt. It was a smooth transition.” Simon is enrolled at Humboldt Elementary Charter School and Lorraine, originally from Chile, is investigating employment opportunities for herself. “I’m hoping Simon gets involved in sports and I’m looking forward to attending the games,” Stephens said. “Humboldt schools have developed and earned a good reputation. Simon is proud to be a Humboldt Cub.”

The Downtown Action Team met Sept. 7 to hear status updates on donations, the bandstand renovation project and an October celebration for the renovation completion. After mailing more than 1,100 newsletters to Humboldt alumni, more than $2,000 was raised, bringing total donations to more than $42,000. Work on the bandstand is almost complete. All that remains is to paint the foundation and the trim. Team members authorized paying JB Electric $2,036.03 for bandstand lighting and $123.58 for nail hammer rental. Oct. 13 is the date for a city bandstand celebration in the square to recognize the numerous volunteers who contributed to the renovation. Plans include dignitaries, a concert and food with a free-will offering to help cover expenses of the celebration. Members suggested having Barbara Anderson, Kansas Department of Commerce, attend a DAT meeting to discuss a KanWork grant for replacing sidewalks.

Opinion

A new Romney might breed a new Obama, too With this one trailing in the polls, Americans will see a new Mitt Romney emerge from the continuing flood of television commercials and, come Oct. 3, in the first of three presidential debates. As reinvented, Mr. Romney will go into detail on the way he will govern if elected. He will, it is promised, say how he will cut taxes by 20 percent on the wealthy and keep the flow of revenues at present levels. He will continue to promise to produce 12 million new jobs in the next four years, but this time will tell the nation how that can be done, step by step. He will “fix the immigration problem.” While Romney is on those missions of clarification, his teammate, Paul Ryan, will tell voters how the Romney-Ryan administration will reduce the deficit and the national debt while substantially increasing spending on the military. Up to now, Romney has declined to say how he would revise the tax structure to allow another big tax cut and still keep tax revenues level. The only way that can be done, of course, is to eliminate deductions, such as those for the interest paid on mortgages and money given to churches and other charities. He frankly said earlier that he wouldn’t go into detail because he didn’t want to give his opponents ammunition. He has never said how he would use the office of the presidency to create jobs in the private sector. That explanation can now be expected. Ryan and others have said that cutting taxes will boost the economy and create jobs. The fact is, however, that the administration of George W. Bush pushed through one of the largest tax cuts in U.S. history in 2001 and 2003. The economy was sluggish throughout his two terms — until 2007-8, when it collapsed as the second-worst recession our nation has known began its destruction. Tax cuts didn’t create a booming economy in 2003. There is no reason to believe that still another tax reduction would do so in 2013.

Economists who comment on this theory point out that tax reductions did have a stimulating effect when top earners paid 70 percent or more, which they did for about 40 years, ending in 1980. The effect is much less now that the top rate is half that, at 35 percent. U.S. taxes today take less of the gross national product than at any time in the past 60 years. AS THE CAMPAIGN moves into the earnest stage, the republic will be well served if both candidates level with the people. For his part, President Obama should admit that he can’t balance the federal budget with higher taxes on the wealthy. The wealthy, goodness knows, should pay more. They have never paid less, yet the gulf between the one percent and the rest of us grows ever wider. But they don’t make enough to cover Washington spending, even if their tax rates were doubled. The so-called middle class must pay more if government income is to match government spending. I say “so-called” because neither candidate uses a reasonable definition of middle class. The median income is about $50,000. That’s middle class, by mathematical definition. So take a little more from families with incomes of, say, $85,000 and above. Millionaires Obama and Romney are out of touch to put the middle class floor at the $200,000 level. Both candidates should also agree to take the recommendations of the Simpson-Bowles Commission seriously, make the commission permanent, keep it bipartisan and tackle the on-going challenge of budget and tax reform as the imperative that it is. HERE’S A PREDICTION: if Mitt Romney does, indeed, stop basing his campaign on the destruction of the president and focus on his own plans for governing in frank and open detail, President Barack Obama will respond in kind. And the campaign will go down in history as one of a kind. We must never give up hope. — Emerson Lynn, jr.

Lessons we’ve learned since 9/11 It has been 11 years since the destruction of the World Trade Center, the attack on the Pentagon, the taking down of Flight 93, and nearly 3000 American deaths on that singular, infamous day. That the consequences continue to adversely impact us far beyond even the most evil conspirator’s most optimistic expectations may tell us more about ourselves than about our attackers. However you score it, no act of terror and few acts of war have impacted our nation, or any other nation, to the extent that Osama bin Laden’s diabolical plan and its execution by 19 suicidal fanatics has done — and at a remarkably small monetary cost to the attackers. The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor compares to Sept. 11 in its degree of surprise and the number of American lives lost on a single day. In several respects, the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were equally startling, awesome and impactful. But, Pearl Harbor and the atomic bombings were acts of war not unanticipated, and executed after prolonged and careful planning and preparation, and immense expenditures by mobilized, wealthy sovereign nations. If we were to open the envelope, and present the award for the most murderous and costly surprise attack of humans upon humans, the prize might begrudgingly go to Osama bin Laden, Mohammed Atta and their crews. If the cost-benefits were a fac-

One way to protect the Arctic Circle By SCOTT HIGHLEYMAN (MCT)

What is certain is that industry is pushing into newly melted waters. Most new industrial activity will take place in the areas of ocean under the jurisdiction of Arctic countries. But a very large expanse of open water is emerging from the ice each summer north of Alaska, just beyond the 200-mile maritime boundary of Russia, the United States, and Canada. Much of this region contains relatively shallow water over a continental shelf, the type of fishing ground targeted by industrial fishing fleets around the world. Without rules to govern these massive vessels, the Central Arctic Ocean is threatened by overfishing. Moreover, the lack of scientific knowledge about how the Arctic ecosystem is changing increases this risk. Even moderate fishing of a keystone species such as Arctic cod creates the danger of unpredictable ripples up the food web for seals, birds, whales, and polar bears. September marks the low point each year for melting sea ice in the Arctic, and this year has already broken the mark reached in 2007. Unlike those set in the summer Olympics, however, this record spells bad news for the Central

Arctic Ocean, where newly open water is likely to attract industrial fishing fleets to a region without any rules governing the catch. For all of human history, the Central Arctic Ocean has been covered with permanent sea ice. The region’s remarkable species — whales, seals, polar bears, walrus, seabirds and fish found nowhere else on Earth — adapted and thrived in this icy seascape. The rich marine ecosystem has also supported vibrant Inuit and other indigenous communities uniquely adapted to an ice-based environment. Today, 4 million people inhabit the Arctic. Increased melting, however, means that permanent ice is being replaced by seasonal ice and open water. An ecosystem built on permanent ice is starting to restructure itself in ways never before witnessed. Arctic species will adapt or diminish, and subArctic species could find their way north to fill ecological niches. No one can predict the result. Fortunately, a simple solution is available. Arctic countries should draft an international agreement preventing the start of industrial fishing in the high seas of the Central Arctic Ocean until scientific research and rules are in place to ensure that

it can be done sustainably. With the leadership of the five Arctic coastal countries — Canada, the United States, Russia, Norway, and Greenland — major fishing countries from beyond the Arctic also could be persuaded to sign. Because fishing hasn’t started yet, no jobs would be lost. All interested countries could participate in joint research on Arctic ecology to learn about the changes occurring in these waters. Four months ago, more than 2,000 scientists from around the globe called for just such an agreement. The United States, Greenland, and Canada have expressed support. Discussions in Russia and Norway about the need for an agreement will take place in the next month. If Arctic countries join together, they can protect the region from substantial environmental harm. In the next few weeks, scientists will report on the extent of the new record set for ice melting at the top of the globe. In the next few months, Arctic countries could deliver some rare good news about fixing one of the problems created by this loss of sea ice. If they do, they will deserve an environmental gold medal.

tor in the judging such horrible human events, Sept. 11 would stand alone. Our attackers just wanted to kill infidels and maximize damage, and do it with the minimal resources at hand. They probably pulled it off for well under five million dollars for recruitment, travel, terrorist camps and flight training. Knives and box-openers are inexpensive. The post Sept. 11 costs, which are measured in trillions of dollars and thousands of lives, are mostly ours, and others’ who got in the way. We logically struck back with all the fury we could muster, while vigorously protecting ourselves from whatever else might follow. Critiques of our response are plentiful—even though hindsight in war is far from 20/20. One thing pops to the front. We have spent, or will spend, $3 trillion on the wars against Iraq and Afghanistan. Iraq is still chaotic. Afghanistan has grown into our nation’s longest war, and is far from reaching a satisfactory end, to the point Governor Mitt Romney refused to mention it in his presidential nomination acceptance speech. There is copious evidence the war against Iraq was planned before Sept. 11, and was waged against a nation not involved in Sept. 11. And, there is also nearly unanimous agreement that the Sept. 11 wars should have been pay as you go, rather than borrow as you go. That decision alone

weakened our nation economically far beyond that which was necessary to respond to al Qaeda. Paradoxically, $1.3 trillion was borrowed to cover a tax cut for the rich; and from 2001 to 2011, $649 billion was spent for Homeland Security. In sum, the national debt doubled from $5 trillion to $10 trillion during the George W. Bush presidency, and we were left staring into a financial abyss from which a Democratic administration was called upon to save us. Today, we continue to suffer consequences we would like to think are the result of the actions of bin Laden, and not George W. Bush, but… What’s very good is we have had no subsequent terrorist attacks. The governments of Bush and President Barack Obama have discharged their number one responsibility of keeping Americans safe. But, it appears the task of national security—in every way impacted by the attacks of Sept. 11 — is growing more difficult, and less certain. The drums of war beat for us to attack Iran before it builds nuclear weapons, as did North Korea during the Bush administration. Many rant and rave that we must intercede in attacks of the Syrian government on its own people. But, surely we have learned since Sept. 11 that preemptive, preventive wars are nearly everywhere available, hard and costly to fight, and don’t work very well — read Iraq, Afghanistan and Vietnam. And, that national security means protecting our people from attack, not attacking others. It’s also nice to have a financially solvent nation that meets the domestic needs of its people.

Reusing plastic storage bags is not advisable In today’s world of “reduce, reuse and recycle,” consumers are looking for ways to save on waste. But when it comes to storing or transporting food for meals, reusing bags could create a food safety problem. Plastic storage bags are intended to be used once, and then thrown away. Some sources are encouraging consumers to reuse them. They say “wiping the inside of the bags clean” makes them reusable. This brings up food safety questions. How are they wiped clean? What foods were in the bags? What is used to wipe them clean? Bags that held any type of perishable food should not be reused. This includes meats, dairy foods, and other foods that need refrigeration. Once the bag is used, and then left at room temperature for hours, the dirty bag

may contain bacteria that can grow, causing cross contamination for other foods. While using resources wisely and being conservative is important, you don’t want to risk a food-borne illness for the sake of “being green.” A better, less wasteful option is to use containers designed for multiple use that can be washed by hand in hot soapy water or in the dishwasher. For more information about food safety, contact Kathy in the Southwind Extension District’s Iola office at 620-365-2242 or by email at kmcewan@ksu.edu.

Don’t be caught unprepared, plan Would you plan a bus or airplane trip without consulting a schedule of times and destinations? Probably not. A meeting agenda is your group’s schedule of departure and arrival. It marks the way toward achievement of goals. What’s going to happen at the next meeting? What business will be discussed? What issues will require a decision? Will someone give a report? Don’t be taken by surprise at your meeting. Plan. In Extension, we often feel like we are in the “meeting business.” A great deal of time is spent preparing for meetings — and the first step in meeting preparation is a good agenda. This is an important concept we teach our 4-H members and follow through with those who serve on the Extension Council or program development committees.

Carla Nemecek Extension Agent for Agriculture

An agenda is a stepby-step order of points to be covered. A tentative agenda should be sent to all members prior to the meeting: • To ensure important business is not overlooked. • To remind people of the meeting. • To help members identify important items and prepare to discuss them. • To help members focus on issues, to contribute, and to feel a sense of progress. • To ensure meetings start on time, move forward and stop on time. Days or even weeks before a meeting, the facilitator, chairperson, or presid-

ing officer should begin preparing the agenda. This person should review program plans and actively involve other officers, chairs, and group members who may have items of business to offer. Agendas that are too brief or vague can actually hinder the progress of a meeting. Properly prepared agendas, on the other hand, almost always make meetings run smoothly. In a well-prepared agenda, items are elaborated. For example: An item listed simply as “Fairboard Report” doesn’t tell us very much; adding “select representatives and consider alternative date” says more. Be certain to indicate the expected action for each item. Here are some common phrases for conveying expected action: “for information,” “for discussion,” and “for decision.” These

phrases will help members anticipate and prepare for the action. If a particular person has responsibility for an item, place that person’s name in parentheses just below or to the right of the item. This information tells members who the contact person is and serves as a guide for the chair. The order of items can be critical to the success of a meeting. For some items, the order is obvious. For example, you usually don’t discuss the budget for equipment purchases before you discuss your equipment needs. Some agenda orders, however, are not so obvious. Informal meetings for planning or problem solving may benefit from these suggestions. For more information on planning efficient and effective meetings, contact the Southwind Extension District office in Iola, 620365-2242.

Leading the way for Allen County was the intermediate team of Jenna Wilks, Chyanne Vaughn, Isaiah Wicoff, and Allyson Hobbs, which placed third. Allyson Hobbs was the high scorer, finishing ninth individually. Jenna Wilks was 12th. The second intermediate team was a combined

Allen and Neosho team of Annika Hobbs, Jackson Wilks, Shelby Yoho, and Jacob Lamb. It finished 20th. Not to be outdone the Southwind Neosho County intermediate team of Kim Yarnell, Collin Chaney, Kendle Stockebrand, and Rayanne McKinsey came away with first. Kim Yarnell led by placing second and Kendle Stockebrand followed in eighth. The combined Allen and Neosho County senior team members included Clara Wicoff, Trey Wilson, Ben Yarnell, and Heather Chaney, which held their own with ninth place. They were accompanied by their coach, Terri Kretzmeier.

attack on such a significant date without being detected by U.S. intelligence. The attack claimed the lives of U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens, who was visiting Benghazi from the capital of Tripoli, Sean Smith, an information technology specialist, and two security men, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, both former Navy SEALs. Scores of attackers firing assault rifles and rocketpropelled grenades charged the walled compound from two directions, swarmed inside and attacked the main building, setting it afire, witnesses have told McClatchy Newspapers. Stevens and Smith apparently died from smoke inhalation. Woods and Doherty were shot dead protecting up to 30 U.S. staffers who

had taken refuge in a nearby annex. The consulate compoundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s landlord, Mohammed al Bishari, and a 27-year-old guard, who was wounded and asked to remain anonymous, told McClatchy Newspapers last week that no protest was taking place when the attack was launched at 9:35 p.m. local time. They described the assault as sudden and well-coordinated. The assailants were carrying the black flag of a local Islamic extremist group, Ansar al Shariah, Bishari said. Al-Qaida is suspected of playing a role because a video posted on the Internet the evening before featured Ayman al-Zawahri, Osama bin Ladenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successor, calling for revenge for the death of his second in

command, Abu Yahya al Libi, a Libyan cleric, who was killed in a June 4 CIA drone strike in Pakistanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tribal region. Two senior Republican lawmakers questioned the administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version of the attack, with Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., saying it â&#x20AC;&#x153;defies common sense.â&#x20AC;? He called for a congressional investigation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is imperative that Congress conduct an investigation into this matter as the two scenarios are vastly different in terms of scope and depth,â&#x20AC;? Graham said in a statement on Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A planned and coordinated assault points loudly to a security lapse, and the problems associated with such a scenario are much deeper than a violent riot over a film.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;As far as we know this has never been done in Iola,â&#x20AC;? Slife added. Steve Greenwall, with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, explained the importance of the doveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s symbolism during his eulogy. They represents peace, the Holy Spirit and freedom, Greenwall said. At the viewing â&#x20AC;&#x153;On the Wings of a Snow-White Doveâ&#x20AC;? was played, and Green-wall read some of the lyrics at the grave site. Webber and Slife, at the end of the ceremony, released nine doves first, followed by one additional dove that was placed next

to Congerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coffin. To get the doves to fly home, Webber and Slife were instructed not to feed them the night before. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The birds, upon release fly into the air and find their direction back home to eat,â&#x20AC;? Webber said. After the doves were released it took them roughly five minutes before disappearing over the north horizon. The flight to Topeka is three hours for the birds and Everson was sure the birds would get home safely. The birds were not the only guests who came from a distance to pay their respects.

be raised privately. It was. While councilmen were unanimous in their decision to fund the park, they were split on its location. The deadlock prompted Mayor Bill Shirley to cast the tie-breaking vote in favor of the Chestnut site between Irwin and Rock streets.Â

Pony girls play volleyball at home By JOCELYN SHEETS jocelyn@iolaregister.com

Following a disappointing run at the Burlington Middle School tournament on Saturday, Iola Middle School’s volleyball teams played at home Monday. Iola’s eighth-grade A-team battled Parsons to three sets but lost. Parsons won 25-17, 21-25, 15-8. Alexis Heslop had four service aces and two kills for the Ponies. Jadyn Sigg had three ace serves. Sydney Wade had two ace serves and two kills. Toni Macha had one ace serve and one kill. Della Lohman downed two kills while Riley Murry and Taylor Stout each had one kill. Wade and Stout were each credited with two set assists. The eighth-grade B-team lost 25-18, 26-24 to Parsons Monday. Rylee Knavel served five aces. Sigg had one kill and Stout had one set assist. Iola’s seventh-grade A-team walked off its home court with a victory Monday. The Ponies beat Parsons 25-8, 25-15. “Serving was a huge success fro the girls tonight,” said Stacy

Parsons won the seventh-grade B-team match 19-25, 25-22, 15-11. Sophie Whitney and Eliza Hale each were 9 for 9 at the service line for Iola. On Saturday, the Pony eighth grade lost 25-13, 25-15 to Burlington 27-25, 27-24 to Chanute and 2516-25-18 to Prairie View. “We had too many missed serves against Burlington. We were in position to win both sets against Chanute but couldn’t find a way to score when we really needed to,” said Terri Carlin, IMS eighth-grade coach. Leaders on the day for the eighth-grade Ponies were Macha at the net with 12 kills, plus she served seven aces. Heslop had five kills and one ace serve. Wade had three kills, served four aces and made seven set assists. Stout had eight set assists. Sigg had two ace serves.

Alexis Heslop (42) gets the tip to fall over the net for Iola Middle School’s eighth-grade A-team against Parsons Middle School’s Vikings here Monday. The seventh-grade Ponies were 1-2 on Saturday. They lost to Burlington 25-13, 25-10 and to Chanute 25-14, 25-19. Iola beat Prairie View 25-21, 25-17. “The biggest differences in the

games were the girls’ confidence and communication. They served better and passed the ball better against Prairie View,” Sprague said. Top servers for IMS seventh

grade were Weseloh, Madison Carlin, Bauer, Karly McGuffin, Riley and Scout Rush. Olivia Taylor played well on the back row. Iola hosts Anderson County Junior High today.

Falcons beat mistake-prone Broncos ATLANTA (AP) — Peyton Manning knew there would be some stumbles along the way. There had to be after four neck surgeries, a year away from the field, and the transition to a new team. But even at his most pessimistic, Manning surely never envisioned a quarter like this. One pick. Then another. Then a third. All before he made it through the opening period Monday night. Manning’s three interceptions in the first 8 minutes helped the Atlanta Falcons build a big lead, and they held off the Denver Broncos for a 2721 victory. “Just a really tough start,” Manning said. “I won’t make any excuses for it. We made poor decisions. We have to eliminate those mistakes.” Matt Ryan threw the 100th touchdown pass of his career, Roddy White had 102 yards receiving and the Falcons (2-0) made an early 20-0 lead stand up, if just barely. Denver (1-1) rallied for a couple of touchdowns in the fourth quarter and were a defensive stop away from getting one last chance to pull it out. Still, the feel-good optimism from Week 1, when Manning deftly guided the Broncos to an impressive win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in his Mile High debut, was largely erased at the Georgia Dome. The Falcons, of course, had a grand ol’ time against Manning. “I watched him growing up, and it was good to go out and play against him,” said Falcons safety William Moore, who had the first of the picks against Manning,

setting up a quick touchdown. “I hope he remembers No. 25.” Maybe in his nightmares. Thomas DeCoud and Robert McClain also had interceptions as new defensive coordinator Mike Nolan kept mixing up his formations and moving players

around the field, confusing Manning enough to put the Falcons in position to pick off passes that seemed a bit wobbly and lacking the zip he had during his glory days in Indianapolis. He finished 24 of 37 for 241 yards, including a 17-yard touch-

down pass to Demaryius Thomas just before halftime. Willis McGahee rushed for 113 yards and scored on a pair of 2-yard runs in the final 12 minutes. Ryan was much more efficient than the four-time MVP, completing 24 of 36 for 219 yards.

close to their first win of the season Wednesday. They didn’t lose. The Red Devil women finished in a scoreless tie with host Independence Community College after two overtimes. Keelie Arbuckle made two saves in goal for the shutout. Jordan Drake recorded another shutout as the Allen men’s goalkeeper. The Red Devils beat the ICC Pirates 2-0 Wednesday, while Drake had two saves. Ben Loflin scored an unassisted goal for the Devils. Jhovany Baltazar put the ball in the net off a pass from Oscar Marrufo. At home Friday, the Allen women lost 5-0 to Barton County as Arbuckle made 12 saves in goal. The Allen men dropped a 2-0 decision to the Cougars. Drake was credited with seven saves. On Sunday, the Red Devil men battled visiting Neosho County to a 1-1 tie after one overtime. Dorian Fox scored an unassisted goal for the Red Devils and Drake made five saves. The Panther women posted a 3-0 win over Allen. Arbuckle again had 12 saves as ACC goalkeeper.

Allen Community College’s Red Devil volleyball team dropped an intense home match Friday against visiting Northeastern Oklahoma of Miami, Okla. The Red Devils went to Ottawa on Saturday and went 1-1 in matches. “It’s difficult to win when you play from behind all night. It was completely opposite from Wednesday where we felt like we were in control and just allowed them to come back,” said Jessica Peters, ACC head

coach of the NEO match Friday. NEO won the match 2830, 27-25, 25-17, 25-18. Peters said the teams were in a point-for-point set to open the match. Allen won it on a kill by Sidney Keith. Then the Norsemen got a quick seven-point run to open the second set and the Red Devils were trying to catch up. Hayley Mertens led the Red Devils against NEO with 19 kills and three block assists at the net. She also had 22 digs and two ace serves. Keith supplied nine

Allen’s men are 1-2-1 in Jayhawk Conference play and 3-2-1 overall. The Allen women are 0-4-1 in conference action and 0-6-1 overall.

Sooners get first test with Wildcats NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — It’s time for No. 6 Oklahoma to be put to the test. After getting nudged down the rankings in the first three weeks of the season, the Sooners (2-0) emerge from an off week to play No. 15 Kansas State (3-0) on Saturday night in Norman. In front of a national television audience, it’ll be a chance for Oklahoma to prove it deserves to be ranked higher — as it was at No. 4 in the preseason poll. Or it could provide more ammunition for voters who questioned the

Sooners enough to bump Oregon, Georgia and Florida State ahead of them already this season. “I just know that the intensity this week is going to be a little bit different,” left tackle Lane Johnson said Monday. The Sooners were anything but spectacular in an opening 24-7 win at UTEP, putting the game away with two touchdowns in the fourth quarter. After that, the Sooners cruised to an easy 69-13 win against Florida A&M of the Championship Subdivision. With a week off, they’ve

kills, one block assist, 10 digs and one ace serve. Randi Billings put down seven kills and had three block assists. Kaitlyn Speer made two solo blocks and Sierra Morgison had two block assists. Adriee Munoz was credited with 20 set assists and three ace serves. Jacqui Ortiz put up 19 set assists and had 16 digs. Sarah Charbonneau had 22 digs. “We are going to work (Saturday) at Ottawa to put a stop to a negative trend,” Peters said Friday. Allen made the statement

its coach was looking for in the first match Saturday. The Red Devils rolled over Bethany College’s junior varsity 25-17, 25-17, 25-20. “Working to earn most points throughout a match is the path to success that makes more sense to this team,” Peters said. The Red Devils came out a bit flat against host Ottawa University’s junior varsity. Peters said Ottawa was effective at the net stopping most offensive options for the Red Devils. Ottawa JV beat Allen 2511, 25-19, 25-18. “Overall, we are walking away feeling better about this loss compared to the others because we felt that today was about Allen and not individuals,” Peters said. “We won as a team and lost as a team.” Mertens delivered 21 kills and had one solo block and one assisted block for the day. Morgison had 11 kills and two assisted blocks while Billings put down 10 kills, had one solo block and one assisted block. Keith had one assisted block and one solo block plus nine kills. Autumn Douglas made two solo blocks against Bethany JV. Danielle Goodman had a solo block. Ortiz had 25 set assists and Munoz had 21 assists. Billings served two aces while Ortiz and Tayler Shook each had one ace. Mertens and Charbonneau each came up with 20 digs. Ortiz made 14 digs while Munoz and Shook each had 13 digs.

found it hard to gauge this week’s opponent. The Wildcats obliterated Miami 5213, but only led Missouri State by seven and North Texas by eight heading into the fourth quarter. “What do you know yet? In the end, I think it takes a lot more than three games to really know,” Stoops said. “I think you’re still working through some pieces and trying to improve.” The Sooners practiced four days last week, taking off Friday through Sunday, getting some early looks at Kansas State while trying to shore up their own issues — pass blocking on offense, eliminating the big play on defense and preventing another blocked punt on special teams.

made it to late September without the country knowing what this largely remade team is all about. An overhauled receiving corps, a shuffled offensive line that’s already given up seven sacks and a defense retooled under new coordinator Mike Stoops will all get stiffer competition against the Wildcats. “Now we’re getting into our Big 12 Conference and we’ll see how we’ve progressed through the year and these last two games,” quarterback Landry Jones said. Coach Bob Stoops would only concede that he’ll know more about his team “to a degree” after facing a Top 25 opponent. Even while watching Kansas State play three games, he

One official was pulled from duty because he’s a fan. Another negated a touchdown without ever throwing a penalty flag. Several others had difficulty with basic rules. Upon further review, the NFL’s replacement officials came up short in Week 2. Coaches and players around the league are losing patience and speaking out against the fill-in officials following a slew of questionable calls in the games Sunday and Monday night. Some players are even joking about dipping into their own pockets to settle the contract dispute and get the regular officials back on the field. “I don’t know what they’re arguing about, but I got a couple of (million) on it, so let’s try to make it work,” Washington defensive back DeAngelo Hall said, kiddingly, on Monday. “I’m sure the locker room could put up some cash and try to help the cause out.” The NFL locked out the regular officials in June after their contract expired. Negotiations with the NFL Referees Association broke down several times during the summer, including just before the season, and the league is using replacements for the first time since 2001. The results have been mixed. Just hours before kickoff Sunday, the NFL removed side judge Brian Stropolo from the New Orleans-Carolina game because it was discovered he’s a Saints fan. Then came the on-field problems. In Philadelphia’s 24-23 win over Baltimore, two

game-altering calls left quarterback Joe Flacco and linebacker Ray Lewis fuming, though it appeared on replay that both calls were accurate. That didn’t make them any less controversial. Flacco’s scoring pass to receiver Jacoby Jones in the fourth quarter was called back because of offensive pass interference. The official who made the call didn’t throw the yellow flag, though he immediately signaled a penalty. “I might sound like a little bit of a baby here,” Flacco said, “but for them to make that call, I think, was a little crazy.” There was confusion later during Philadelphia’s goahead drive. First, the twominute warning occurred twice. Then, quarterback Michael Vick’s forward pass was called a fumble inside the Ravens 5. It was ruled incomplete following a replay, and Vick scored on the next play after a few anxious moments. “It’s extra stress when you have to sit there and wait,” Vick said. “The one thing you don’t want to do, you don’t want to put the game in the officials’ hands.” Lewis, like many players around the league, has seen enough. “The time is now,” he said. “How much longer are we going to keep going through this whole process? I don’t have the answer. I just know across the league teams and the league are being affected by it. It’s not just this game, it’s all across the league. And so if they want the league to have the same reputation it’s always had, they’ll address the problem. Get the regular referees in here and let the games play themselves out.”

Obama stays on ballot Older drivers receive extra help By JOHN HANNA Associated Press

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spot on the November election ballot in Kansas is secure, but a short meeting Monday of a state elections board included an unsuccessful protest from a California attorney active in the so-called â&#x20AC;&#x153;birtherâ&#x20AC;? movement.

The State Objections Boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to close its inquiry into whether Obama should be listed on the ballot wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in doubt, because the Manhattan man whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d objected withdrew his challenge Friday.

1961 birth certificate last year. Hawaii officials also have repeatedly confirmed his citizenship. His mother was a Kansas native. But when the all-Republican board had a hearing Thursday on the objection to the Democratic presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ballot listing, it postponed a decision so that officials in other states could authenticate a copy of Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birth certificate available online. Information came not only from Hawaii but also Arizona and Mississippi, where similar issues have arisen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a duty to the people of Kansas under state law to investigate every objection and make a determination,â&#x20AC;? said Secretary of State Kris Kobach, the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chairman. Orly Taitz, a California lawyer and dentist, accused the board of ignoring evidence that Obama doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a valid birth certificate â&#x20AC;&#x201D; claims she has pressed in other states. Her comments riled a small group of Obama supporters who attended the meeting and demonstrated outside.

The class reminds her, she said, that laws change â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and so do drivers as they age. As baby boomers age but stay behind the wheel, more elderly drivers are on the roads, both in Kansas and nationally. The issue of older drivers has emerged again after a 100-year-old driver backed over a group of Los Angeles schoolchildren last month. The federal government has proposed that states take a look at the safety of older drivers. In Kansas, residents aged 65 and older must renew their licenses every four years instead of every six.

Examiners already have the authority to add restrictions to a license, such as limiting how far they can drive, whether they can only drive in the daytime and whether they should stay off highways. According to Kansas Department of Transportation data, there were 41,114 accidents involving drivers age 65 and older between 2007 through 2011. On average, there was one fatality accident for every 113 accidents involving senior citizens. The frequency of fatality accidents was highest among those aged 90 to 94, one for every 46.8 accidents.

You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say that a 70-yearold driver is going to be worse than a 25- or 30-yearold driver,â&#x20AC;? Tritsch said. The Kansas Department of Transportation plans to spend $22 million on public transit programs over the next two years. Tritsch said she would like to see Kansas to develop more transit alternatives for residents, especially in rural areas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really is the backbone of KDOTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recognition that once elderly residents are no longer able to drive, the ability to get out in the community pays dividends,â&#x20AC;? said Josh Powers, KDOTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public transit manager said. Erickson knows there are alternatives for her, but for now she does what she can to stay behind the wheel and maintain her independence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably the hardest thing about getting older,â&#x20AC;? she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;just that ability to jump in the car when I want to.â&#x20AC;?

A group of Occupy Wall Street protesters march past the Federal Reserve building Monday in New York. On the one-year anniversary of Occupy Wall Street, several hundred protesters took part in a march through the financial district.

Protest’s anniversary brings more arrests By MEGHAN BARR Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — Occupy Wall Street protesters celebrated the movement’s anniversary on Monday by clogging intersections in the city’s financial district, marching to the beat of drums that were a familiar refrain last year. Protesters roamed around the lower Manhattan financial district all morning in groups of a few dozen each, from one intersection to another and back again, chanting loudly about the ills of Wall Street. In total, there were a few hundred protesters scattered throughout the city. More than 100 of them were arrested by midafternoon, mostly on disorderly conduct charges. The day’s events lacked the heft of Occupy protests last year, when protesters gathered by the thousands. But Occupiers were upbeat as they spread out in their old stomping grounds, giddy at the prospect of being together again. They brushed off any suggestions that the movement had petered out. “This is a movement. It’s only been a year,” said protester Justin Stone Diaz, of Brooklyn. “It’s going to take many years for it to develop and figure out exactly who we are.” But the movement is now a shadow of its mighty infancy, when a group of young people harnessed the power of a disillusioned nation and took to the streets chanting about corporate greed and inequality. A familiar Statue of Liberty puppet was back, bobbing in the crowd above protesters’ heads. Protest-

ers in wheelchairs blocked a road and chanted “All day, all week, occupy Wall Street!” before they were steered off the road by police. Zuccotti Park, the former home of the encampment, was encircled by metal police barricades lined with police officers standing watch. Hamza Sinanaj, a 30-year-old airplane mechanic who works in upstate New York as a security guard, said he was among the first Occupy protesters last September. “I felt that protest was long overdue, and I’m back today,” he said, holding up a sign that read, “America Rise Up.” He was staying at his sister’s home in the Bronx but wasn’t sure he’d be there Monday night because he was “ready to be arrested, to sit on the street and be arrested.” Events were planned in more than 30 cities worldwide. In San Francisco, local Occupy groups planned to occupy 10 banks across the city and then hold an evening rally honoring foreclosure fighters, people who’ve been helping residents stave off foreclosures by squatting or holding sit-ins, outside the Bank of America building in the Financial District, the site of previous protests. They then planned to march. Last year, hundreds of protesters camped out for weeks at Justin Herman Plaza across from the city’s Ferry Building, a magnet for tourists and in the heart of the Financial District, where nearby businesses were affected.

Iran critical of nuke inspectors VIENNA (AP) — Iran’s nuclear chief said Monday that “terrorists and saboteurs” might have infiltrated the International Atomic Energy Agency in an effort to derail his nation’s atomic program. It was Tehran’s harshest attack on the integrity of the U.N. organization and its investigation of allegations that Iran is striving to make nuclear arms. Fereydoun Abbasi also rebuked the United States in comments to the IAEA’s 155-nation general conference, reflecting Iran’s determination to continue defying international pressure aimed at curbing its nuclear program and nudging it toward cooperation with the IAEA inspection. Revealing what he said were two sabotage attempts on his country’s nuclear program, he challenged the perpetrators to launch new attacks, saying his coun-

try is determined to learn how to protect its interests through such assaults. The defiant speech was bound to give a greater voice to hardline Israeli leaders who say that both diplomatic efforts and economic penalties have had no effect on Iran, leaving military strikes as the only alternative to stopping it from developing nuclear weapons. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a proponent of such an option, made a direct appeal to American voters on Sunday to elect a president willing to draw a “red line” with Iran. In the past week, Netanyahu has urged President Barack Obama and other world leaders to state clearly at what point Iran would face a military attack. But Obama and his top aides, who repeatedly say all options remain on the table,

have pointed to shared U.S.Israeli intelligence that suggests Iran hasn’t decided yet whether to build a bomb, despite pursuing the technology, and that there would be time for action beyond toughened sanctions already in place. In Berlin, German Chancellor Angela Merkel described Iran as “a threat, not only for Israel but for the whole world.” But she said she wants to see a “political solution” and that the international community should work together to try and find one. “Like” us on Facebook

AC not affected by speed of car Dear

Tom

and

Ray:

Nearly 40 years ago, I was told that it was a bad idea to turn on the air conditioning when driving at highway speeds. I was advised that the AC should be turned on only when the car was idling or moving very slowly. I guess the idea was that starting the AC when the engine was operating at high RPMs would jolt it and put a lot of sudden strain on the belt-driven AC parts. I have always followed that old advice, and I get funny looks when I slow to 20 mph to turn on the AC. Is it a bad idea to start the AC

Car Talk

Tom and Ray Magliozzi when not idling or moving slowly? Was it EVER a bad idea? Am I the victim of a 40-year-old joke? Thanks! — David TOM: Bad news, David. For at least the past 40 years, while you were being so careful, your AC was cycling ITSELF on and off at highway speeds. RAY: That’s how the air

conditioner works. It has a clutch, and it engages based on demand, and then disengages itself when the demand or other conditions have been met. This happens at all speeds, from idle to highway. TOM: For example, the AC also will cut out when you start the engine so that all the battery power can go to the starter. And it’ll cut out if you put a large demand on the engine for power. So if you’re entering a highway, or climbing a hill on a highway, the AC may shut off during that hard acceleration to allow

Tuesday, September 18, 2012

all available engine power to go to the wheels. RAY: So the air conditioner is designed to be started and stopped at all kinds of speeds. And it’s doing that whether or not you turn it on and off. TOM: So you can forget all about this advice. And — let me do some calculations — it’s been 40 years, so hopefully your father is still around. He’s obviously the one who gave you this lousy advice, so give him the good news, too. Tell him he can now enjoy his golden years by turning on the AC at any speed he wants to.

The role of sugar in sugar diabetes Dear Dr. Donohue: My husband is 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighs 170 pounds. He is a competitive distance runner. He loves Kool-Aid and calculates that he drinks in a year 150 pounds of sugar in KoolAid alone. A friend told him if he continues this habit, he might develop diabetes. Can a skinny, athletic person develop diabetes from consuming sugar? – S.B. Answer: Although “sugar” is half the name of sugar diabetes, sugar doesn’t cause diabetes. It’s a popular belief that it does, but it doesn’t. People with diabetes are careful to watch their sugar intake, and they watch their total carbohydrate intake, but diabetics don’t have to eliminate sugar completely from their lives. Careful monitoring of sugar and carbohydrate intake is essential for their control of blood sugar. Type 1 diabetes, the kind that requires insulin for control, often has its onset in younger years. It’s

Dr. Paul Donohue To Your Good Health due to a destruction of the insulin-making cells of the pancreas. The destruction is believed to be the work of the immune system. Sugar has nothing to do with it. Type 1 diabetes accounts for 5 percent to 10 percent of all diabetes cases. Type 2 diabetes, the much more common kind, comes about from a decline in insulin production along with a decline in the effectiveness of insulin. Ninety percent of type 2 diabetics are overweight, and weight loss helps them control their blood sugar. Physical inactivity also contributes to type 2 diabetes. So do genes. Again, it’s not the sugar intake that produces this common type of diabetes. But monitoring the intake of sugar

is important for control of this variety of diabetes. Dear Dr. Donohue: If one has genital herpes and takes acyclovir twice a day for suppression of outbreaks, should one get the shingles vaccine? Answer: The shingles vaccine contains live chickenpox virus. Chickenpox, acquired most often in childhood but at other ages as well, lives in nerve cells for the rest of that person’s life. Shingles is the result of the virus coming out of hibernation in nerve cells and traveling to the skin to cause an outbreak of shingles.

Acyclovir (Zovirax) and its two close relatives famciclovir (Famvir) and valacyclovir (Valtrex) suppress recurring outbreaks of genital herpes, a different virus from the chickenpox virus of shingles. However, these same drugs also can do in the chickenpox virus. Since they have that effect, they could kill the virus in the shingles vaccine and make it ineffective in its protection against a shingles outbreak. The vaccine shouldn’t be given to a person who is taking these medicines for suppression of a herpes recurrence or for any other reason.

DAILY CRYPTOQUOTES - Here’s how to work it:

Sudoku is like a crossword puzzle, but uses numbers instead of words. The puzzle is a box of 81 squares, subdivided into 3x3 cubes of 9 squares each. Some squares are filled in with numbers. The rest should be filled in by the puzzler. Fill in the blank squares allowing the numbers 1-9 to appear only once in every row, once in every column and once in every 3x3 box. One-star puzzles are for beginners, and the difficulty gradually increases through the week to a very challenging fivestar puzzle.
