Both sides fight for women’s vote By KEVIN DIAZ Minneapolis Star Tribune

WASHINGTON (MCT) — Jill Biden, the wife of Vice President Joe Biden, came to Minnesota this month with a special message for women. “I’m not just here today as the wife of the vice president,” she told a women’s rally at the Depot Coffee House in Hopkins, “but as a mom, a full-time teacher, and of course, as a woman, a woman who votes.” It was an explicit appeal to women that is being heard more often in the 2012 presidential election in political ads, campaign events, and most memorably in the speeches by the candidates’ wives at the national conventions for President Barack Obama and GOP challenger Mitt Romney. Amid talk of war, jobs and looming budget deficits, the female vote has emerged as a crucial battleground in a presidential race that could be decided by several hundred thousand independent women in November — particularly suburban women in a several key swing states in the Midwest, Colorado and Virginia. Democrats historically have enjoyed an edge with women, who register and vote in greater numbers than men. But female voters don’t vote as a bloc. In a race that could come down to a few undecided voters in November, Republicans are making concerted efforts to narrow the gender gap enough to capitalize on the advantage they retain with men, particularly older white men. Political analysts say forget the rhetoric about the “war on women”; the 2012 election could be a war over women.

Glen Stubbe/Minneapolis Star Tribune/MCT

Dr. Jill Biden campaigns in Brooklyn Park, Fla., Sept. 14 to encourage people to vote and to stress the importance of education. “Both campaigns are targeting women, and have strategic reasons to do so,” said University of Minnesota political scientist Kathryn Pearson, who studies women and politics. A recent Star Tribune Minnesota Poll shows a broad gender gap in the presidential race, with 55 percent of women favoring Obama, compared with 33 percent for Republican challenger Mitt Romney. Asked who would do a better job of handling issues affecting women, female voters again overwhelmingly came down in favor of Obama — 62 percent, compared with 28 percent of women who say Romney would do a better job on their issues. Whittling that gap explains, in part, why the Minnesota Republican Party’s response to Jill Biden’s visit didn’t come from state party chair Pat Shortridge, the usual voice

of the party. It came instead from two prominent Republican women: Kelly Fenton, the party’s deputy chairwoman, and state Rep. Sarah Anderson of suburban Plymouth. “As women, mothers and Americans,” they said in a joint rebuttal, “we are not happy with the direction Obama and Biden have been taking the country.” In a sign of how each party views its strengths, Biden and other Democratic surrogates emphasize how Obama has supported women on equal pay and access to health care, often specifically mentioning contraception. Republicans, even in their appeals to women, stick to Romney’s focus on the economy. Romney’s newly released television ad, called “Dear Daughter,” shows a mother and her infant daughter while a female voiceover notes that the little girl’s share of the debt is $50,000.

“Obama’s policies are making it harder on women,” the voiceover intones. That ad comes in the wake of the Obama campaign’s “Life of Julia,” an Internet slideshow on how government initiatives aid the hypothetical Julia at every stage of her life, from kindergarten to retirement. At the parties’ national conventions, the spouses of both candidates gave primetime addresses aimed directly at women. “You know what it’s like to work a little harder during the day to earn the respect you deserve at work and then come home to help with that book report which just has to be done,” said Ann Romney, shortly before calling out, “I love you women!” Michelle Obama, who frequently reflects on her husband’s upbringing with a single mother and a grandmother who encountered a “glass ceiling,” took to the convention podium to declare herself the nation’s “mom-in-chief.” The aggressive targeting of women this year is no surprise when campaign strategists run the numbers. In 2008, nearly 10 million more women voted than men. Exit polls showed Obama won female voters by 12 percentage points. An August Gallup poll showed a continuing gender gap in Obama’s favor, with female voters preferring Obama over Romney by an 8-percentage-point margin. Seizing on this numerical advantage, Democrats and allies have promoted the narrative of a Republican “war on women,” pointing to Romney’s pledge to defund Planned Parenthood and the GOP platform’s opposition to abortion even in cases of rape and incest.

Flu shot correction A flu shot clinic offered by the Southeast Kansas Multi-county Health Department will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday at the Iola Fire Department. An article in Wednesday’s Register incorrectly reported the hours. Patients will not have to get out of their cars in order to get a flu shot, although indoor facilities are available for those more comfortable in those

environs. The clinic is open to patients of all ages. Children ages 6 months to 36 months will get a slightly smaller dose. First-time recipients at those ages must get a second vaccination about a month later. All adults and elderly patients will get the same one-time dose. For more information, call 365-2191.

Comedy of errors

Ed Sell, Dee’s father, died in 1980. The memory lapse began on Sunday when Susan beckoned her husband, Brian, by calling him Clay. Clay was her first husband; divorced since 1996. If you acknowledge Susan on the street and she keeps quiet, just know she’s trying to play it safe.

Karen Gilpin was misidentified as Helen Gilpin in a cutline in Wednesday’s Register. Helen, 96, is Karen’s mother-in-law. “It’s been that kind of a week,” said Susan Lynn, who made the mistake. “On Monday, I tried to say hello to Dee Sell as he was driving by. ‘Hi Ed!’ I called out.”

picnic tables, “but last year I counted at least 170 people lining the street between the snow cone machine and that light pole,” a distance of less than 100 feet. “It was like that all up and down the street, always is,” he added. That could translate to 2,000, maybe 2,500, in total attendance. “I wouldn’t be a bit surprised,” replied Thompson’s wife, Connie. “The fair is a community affair, kind of like a big reunion,” when former residents stream to town, proving that in Kincaid, Kansas, “you can come home again.” “Don’t write this down (who could resist),” Rick Thompson said, “but a lot of county fairs have trouble each year getting everything together. “We don’t have any trouble at all,” he continued. “We have a few meetings — probably don’t really need

to — and everything gets done. We don’t worry about anything, just go do what’s necessary to put on the fair another year.” Why has it grown and prospered, Thompson was asked. “Why? Maybe it’s the time of year, I don’t know. It just goes over big every year and just keeps getting bigger,” he said. Toby’s Carnival, from Arma, is a factor. It has been a fair fixture for years, one that many smaller fairs don’t have these days. “The carnival should get credit for a big share of the fair’s success,” said Rick Thompson. “A lot of people and kids really like it.” Owners apologized for not having a Ferris wheel this year, but few fairgoers will notice with all that is available. The picnic tables are an example of community spirit. The ones used for years were getting a little weathered and rough, so

someone mentioned new ones would be nice. Private donations popped up, Thompson said, “and I’m not going to try to say who gave because I’m sure I’d miss someone. Richard and Travis Church went to work and put together those five nice new ones.” Thompson is a Kincaid Lion and will be one of the club members Saturday in the outdoor pavilion frying burgers and french fries — “the only time he cooks,” said wife Connie. To ensure no one goes hungry, the Lions ordered in 700 pounds of hamburger

and 34 cases of fries, which at 30 pounds each totals better than 1,000 pounds. Several other organizations — only with the blessings of the fair association — will have food to feed the throng. Ann Donaldson already has made several pans of pear cobbler and frozen several dozen pocket sandwiches that will be sold by the group that refitted Kincaid’s old high school as a community center. The cobbler is easily made, Donaldson said, with a topping of oatmeal, brown sugar and butter, plus chopped pecans to add even more flavor. “We’ll have ice cream to top the cobbler,” she enticed. While fair entries weren’t due until today, Irene Louk was on hand Wednesday at the building where flowers are displayed, bringing some of her own and waiting for “a few of the girls who said they’d be along

today.” Among early arrivers were Beverly Pinneo and daughter Sandy Weldin. They carried in a huge begonia, with rich red flowers accentuated by green foliage. Pinneo and husband Wes, who have been involved with the fair’s organization and conduct for years, are this year’s grand marshals, even though Pinneo allowed “we haven’t done that much lately” — a comment that drew a “you’re being too modest” roll of her eyes from Louk. “Everyone does their part,” Pinneo said. “No one squabbles. We call the fair the ‘Little World’s Fair.’” THE PARADE, with a 1:30 start time Saturday afternoon, is the main feature of the fair, and this year’s promises to be a whiz-bang event. “We have seven marching bands coming, including Iola High’s,” said Con-

nie Thompson. The parade often takes an hour to play out and Thompson said this year’s may take longer. A feature today is a bean feed and homemade ice cream at 5 p.m., followed by children’s games, including a pedal tractor pull. Friday exhibits will be judged, starting at 8 a.m., and in a generational switch senior citizens will have a turtle race at 4 p.m., with bingo in the evening. Saturday’s schedule is full, starting with a 2K walk and 5K run at 8 a.m. Antique tractors will be on display, horseshoes will be pitched and a pie baking contest will precede the parade, along with the crowning of this year’s fair queen at 1:15. Queen candidates are Morgan Louk, Madison Covey, Carollyn Bradshaw and Shandra Sedlak. More kids’ games, a draft horse pull at 5 o’clock and music will conclude the event.

H Grant nite need for extra funds in the school district. Due to recent budget cuts from the state, she said there is not enough room in the budget to provide for many things in the classroom and beyond. “There just isn’t funding in our budget,” Garrett said. “There isn’t money in the school districts to get done what needs to be done.” While grant funds are beneficial to local schools, Pekarek said teachers do not directly profit from any gains. He believes this speaks directly to the ethics of the area’s teachers. “There is no motivation to write grant proposals,” Pekarek said, “except for the fact that you are helping kids.” Regina Young, an Iola Middle School math lab teacher, said writing grant proposals can add a lot of work to a teacher’s already busy schedule. “It shows a lot of dedication and loyalty of the teachers to the students,” Young said. “I know it is a lot of extra work that we don’t need.” This hard work is not always rewarded, Garrett said. Many organizations are very specific about the type of proposals that are written, as well as in what way. She said many organizations look for specific keywords and “jargon” that illuminate just how the funds will be used and how they are needed. “If you are writing a grant, and that’s not what they are looking for, then you are wasting your time,” Garrett said. PEKAREK SAID a small group such as the one gathered Wednesday would give the teachers the collaboration and instruction they need to write successful grants. While the teachers were successful last year, he explained the school district

needs to make decisions on how to allocate and distribute funds efficiently and fairly. Garrett said nothing will happen unless the teachers show the motivation to write grants. She said making connections and learning the pro-

cess is something that takes a significant amount of time, and some people need to see success before they are willing to make a commitment. Pekarek said there needed to be constant upkeep of grant proposals, because many students have come to expect certain improvements to their activities — improvements made possible through additional funds. The economic state of the district illustrated the need for help. Budget cuts have been severe in the past four years, Pekarek said. The cuts have amounted to $2.2 million lost overall in the district, with $720,000 of that coming from employee salaries. Garrett said there was nothing more important than doing the work to help the students themselves, and making the district the best it can be. “If we see more money coming in to help our students, more teachers will be motivated,” Garrett said. “We have to keep trying to be the best.” The grant-writing group will formally meet twice more during the school year. The next meeting will be Jan. 23.

way. Runners will share the road with vehicles. “At busy intersections there will be traffic control,” Toland said. “Safety is a big part of this.” Runners will have their time measured by a microchip in a bracelet runners will be given. The bracelet will be the “batons” runners in a group hand off. The marathon got its name because the three communities share one thing in common — they all have or have had at some point, a cement plant in the town that produced Portland cement. Chanute is home of Ash Grove Cement Company, Humboldt has Monarch

Cement Company and Iola formerly had the Lehigh Portland Cement Company. The marathon’s focal point is to bring together residents of the three communities. Jacque Borgeson, preserve and grow chairperson with CRDA, says the long-standing rivalry between Iola and Chanute high school athletic teams is “being set aside for this event.” “It is great to see the three communities bridging together and also to see southeast Kansas become a focal point of healthy activity,” she said.

ordered that cut to six months, or $324,000 of IHA’s $648,000 operating budget. Iola stands to lose $151,000, being paid to HUD in monthly amounts of about $12,500 starting last January. Ross said she didn’t know if the lawsuit

would be successful, but that Iola would have no chance of recouping reserve funds without being a participant. IHA had to find money outside of its budget to join the lawsuit, Ross explained, because its funding comes from the federal government and federal tax dollars legally

can’t be used to pay for a lawsuit against the government. HUD reduced reserves for Iola and other housing groups in the nation after Congress declined to lower the percentage that determines rent subsidies HUD provides, thus putting HUD’s budget in a pinch.

Clinton ties militants to attack By HANNAH ALLAM and JONATHAN S. LANDAY McClatchy Newspapers

NEW YORK — Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Wednesday tied the attack that killed the U.S. ambassador to Libya to the creation of an al-Qaida haven in Mali, adding that Islamist militants there pose a threat to democratic transitions throughout northern Africa. Clinton’s remarks on the sidelines of this week’s U.N. General Assembly suggest that the White House is revising its first account that the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, which killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans, was the result of spontaneous mob violence. Libyan officials for days have said that evidence at the scene points to a more organized militant operation, perhaps stemming from the Maghreb or Sahel regions of North Africa, where an al-Qaida branch is active. Clinton edged closer to that view Wednesday without outlining any evidence and

stopping just short of making a direct link. “For some time, alQaida in the Islamic Maghreb and other groups have launched attacks and kidnappings from northern Mali into neighboring countries,” Clinton told leaders at a U.N. meeting on North Africa’s political and security crises. “Now, with a larger safe haven and increased freedom to maneuver, terrorists are seeking to extend their reach and their networks in multiple directions,” she continued, “and they are working with other violent extremists to undermine the democratic transitions under way in North Africa, as we tragically saw in Benghazi.” A senior State Department official, who briefed reporters on the condition of anonymity, cautioned that Clinton was not saying that al-Qaida in the Maghreb was behind the Benghazi attack, only that it was a growing threat to the region. “With regard to the specific issue of who was responsible for the Benghazi attack, as everybody in the administration has

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A weekly update on U.S. drought conditions shows the nation’s worst drought in decades slightly worsened in the lower 48 states with the Midwest corn harvest in full swing. The U.S. Drought Monitor’s new map posted Thursday shows 65.5 percent of the contiguous U.S. was experiencing some form of drought as of Tuesday, up from 64.8 percent a week earlier. It shows 21.5 percent of that area was in extreme or exceptional drought — the two worst classifications. That’s up three-quarters of a percentage point. That most severe classification rose 2.3 percentage points in Nebraska, to 73.25 percent. Conditions in Kansas, Missouri, Illinois and Indiana remained unchanged.

Opinion

Partisanship trumps policy for Brownback Kansas Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger has asked Gov. Sam Brownback to help her set requirements for health insurance coverage to be sold through insurance exchanges dictated by law. If the state fails to act the federal government will do it for Kansas. Praeger points out the Affordable Health Care Act requires states to set benchmarks for basic health care coverage by the end of September. If they fail to do so, the Department of Health and Human Services will dictate what Kansas will do. Gov. Brownback once again said he won’t do it. “My administration will not make any decisions regarding the implementation of Obamacare until after the November election,” he said Tuesday. It was a word-for-word repetition of an earlier statement. Brownback is willing to forego an opportunity to establish health care insurance guidelines that will work best for Kansans in order to make a partisan point. It is a perfect example of throwing out the baby with the bath water. It is true that a Republican

victory in November might result in repeal of the health care law, although Mitt Romney has said that he favors retaining part of the reforms and no one can say at this point whether the health insurance exchanges would stay or go under his administration. The object of the exchanges is to establish an online marketplace where consumers can buy basic health insurance at competitive prices. Insurance companies such as Blue Cross Blue Shield are eager for the state to set up the coverage guidelines so that they can sharpen their pencils and win customers. To repeat, we’re talking free enterprise here. The exchanges would be a medium through which for-profit insurance companies could compete for business. All the state would do is establish coverage guidelines. In response to this opportunity to help those who don’t have coverage through their employer or elsewhere obtain adequate coverage at an affordable price, Gov. Brownback baldly states he is more interested in playing politics. How disappointing. — Emerson Lynn, jr.

Think purple Sometime back, a group urged the powers that be at Unified School District 257 to find another name for the girls’ teams at Iola High School. “Fillies” was undignified and sexist, they avered. I’ve forgotten what they proposed as a substitute. It wasn’t Lady Horses. Or Missy Mustangs. Slips my mind. Whatever. The reform died aborning. Fillies the IHS girls were; Fillies they remain. With that history in mind, I hereby predict that President Kirk Schulz will have a dickens of a time getting rid of the KState moniker. K-State has been K-State for a very long time. Maybe as long as KU has been KU. As long as Wildcats have been ’Cats and Jayhawks ’Hawks. Pres. Schulz worries Kan-

sas State University doesn’t get its share of recognition for its substantial academic achievements because K-State also could refer to Kentucky State or someplace else. Schulz wants us all to say Kansas State to end the confusion. Well, he has a point. And as a matter of fact, Kansas State and K-State are used interchangeably throughout the state. But K-Staters prefer the shorter nickname for sentimental, emotional reasons. So it’s not going to go away. The Lawrence Journal World is skeptical, too. It notes that the university’s new longrange plan is titled, “K-State 2025: A Visionary Plan for Kansas State University.” Even the insiders aren’t persuaded. — Emerson Lynn, jr.

Letter to the editor Dear editor,

You ask me to have pride in my city. How can I when the house at 601 Taylor is an eyesore. It has sat empty for 10 to 12 years with no attempt at repairs. My property value has gone down drastically because of it. Even the previous occupants

said it is unfit to live in and is why they moved. Please consider demolishing this property so I can have pride again in my little corner of LaHarpe. Mary Knavel LaHarpe, Kan.

Death in a healing place — Yosemite By WILLIAM DEVERELL Los Angeles Times

There’s a terrible irony lurking in the recent news of the hantavirus outbreak at Yosemite National Park, which has killed three visitors and sickened half a dozen more since mid-June. Part of the backdrop of the 1864 act that established Yosemite as essentially the nation’s first national park (that language would not be used until 1872 in the founding of Yellowstone National Park) had everything to do with health and healing in the latter years of the Civil War. We’d do well to note that from today’s vantage of being in the middle of the sesquicentennial years of the war. You might not connect Yosemite to the Civil War. But Frederick Law Olmsted, co-creator of Central Park, certainly did. Eyewitness to the horrific destruction wrought by the war when he served as general secretary of the United States Sanitary Commission, a Red Crosslike operation for the North, Olmsted despaired as the nation became, in his memorable phrasing, a “republic of suffering.” By 1864, when he was briefly relocated to California, Olmsted envisioned the breathtaking Yosemite Valley as a convalescent, even redemptive, site of national healing. He served as the best known and best prepared member of the first Yosemite Park Commission, a body charged with formulating plans about management of this Sierra Nevada landscape once Congress established protections for it.

In contemplating Yosemite, Olmsted responded with ideas familiar to him about the necessity of melding democracy with nature to preserve both. And his thoughts were never far removed from the gory battles that pitted North against South. The trauma of the Civil War had heightened what he called the nation’s susceptibility to aesthetic and therapeutic contemplation, which meant nature, and especially Yosemite, could play a crucial role in reconstruction — of body as well as nation. Olmsted’s arguments emphasized the point that Yosemite’s arrival into American consciousness — whether by way of famed 1860s photographs, paintings or florid writings — was about national healing and personal convalescence in both physical and psychological terms. “If we analyze the operation of scenes of beauty upon the mind,” he wrote, “and consider the intimate relation of the mind upon the nervous system and the whole physical economy, the action and reaction which constantly occur between bodily and mental conditions, the reinvigoration which results from such scenes is readily comprehended.” In other words, the insults and assaults of the Civil War demanded convalescent response, and the far West beckoned. This genesis of a national idea about health and conservation — unprecedented and radical — makes the hantavirus story all the more poignant and tragic. It’s

not that death or sickness are anything new at national parks, of course. We’d kid ourselves if we did not acknowledge that at least some of the attraction of places such as Yosemite is for visitors to commit acts of feckless daredevilry. For every busload of Yosemite tourists who never leave the valley floor, there’s some thankfully smaller number who tempt fate by climbing where they should not or by ignoring plentiful warnings to stay well away from cold, fast and deep rivers or waterfalls. And even if you are prepared and experienced, there is danger because there is risk in the wilderness — and Yosemite is as much wilderness as it is valley floor. But no sign or warning can prevent hantavirus; it is invisible and seems to have gotten into the bodies of its victims as they did nothing more reckless than breathe the contaminated air of their cabins and tents. These recent deaths are but a terrible, quirk-of-fate reminder that our fervent wishes about nature’s restorative power can never come with guarantees of health or safety. We will still go to nature to convalesce, and the national parks will remain fundamental to that quest. But the journey will always have its dangers and uncertainties, both seen and unseen.

State nixes Main Street program Initiative was a popular economic development tool It’s no time to eliminate programs that create jobs. News of Kansas Main Street’s demise wasn’t a surprise. With Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration on a mission to eliminate state-funded endeavors, even a proven economic development program such as KMS wasn’t safe. The Kansas Department of Commerce recently announced termination of the 27-year-old state program that has helped many Kansas communities, Garden City included, revitalize downtown districts. It’s not as if the communitybased organizations relied on the state for operational funding. Garden City Downtown Vision, for example, enjoys strong support from members and sponsors, along with local government, and will stay viable. Local Main Street organizations did, however, benefit from KMS training and expertise in crafting strategies that spurred job growth. State officials cited shrinking federal and state budgets in defending the move. But in their haste to erase KMS, they didn’t bother to address the fallout, in-

cluding the fate of one effective KMS program. Through the Incentives Without Walls program, individual Main Street organizations could apply for zero-interest loans of up to $20,000 each to assist businesses with specific projects. The money was matched, and as loans were repaid those dollars went back into a revolving loan account. It’s been a prudent economic development strategy in Garden City, with more than two dozen such loans helping to launch new ventures or assist existing businesses. Knowing active IWW loans are in place, state officials have yet to explain to Garden City and other Main Street communities what will happen with that particular program, and how they’re sup-

posed to move forward in general without valuable KMS support. Downtown districts and their small businesses warrant the attention and support. A drab, uninviting downtown sends the wrong message to prospective businesses and residents. Plus, the Main Street program has helped create and maintain jobs, something Brownback has deemed a priority. Kansas needs to invest in such initiatives. State lawmakers who reportedly knew nothing of the plan to scrap KMS should speak up in defense of the program. And the governor should explain how eliminating an effective economic development program makes sense, and what the state will do to replace those vital efforts. — The Garden City Telegram

Run game on tap for Mustang-Viking clash By JOCELYN SHEETS jocelyn@iolaregister.com

Running the football, chewing up yards and the clock with points scored at the end of each drive is what all teams want to do on a Friday night. Nothing different is expected in the game plans for Iola High’s Mustangs and Central Heights High’s Vikings when the two teams square off in Pioneer League play on the Vikings’ field Friday. Kickoff is at 7 p.m. “By design, Central Heights’ defense stacks the box (line of scrimmage tackle to tackle) and takes away running offenses,” said Doug Kerr, Mustang head coach. “Offensively, we’re going to take what they give us.” Kerr pointed out that it depended on which Viking team shows up Friday against the Mustangs. “Will it be the team that beat Osawatomie or the one that lost to Anderson County last week? They had a great game running the ball against Osawatomie then got beat bad by Anderson County,” Kerr said. Central Heights High head coach Kent Schulte agreed with that assessment of his Vikings. The Vikings are 2-2 overall and 1-1 in league play. They roared through Osawatomie 38-0 then lost 54-6 to Anderson County last Friday. “When we run the football, we’re successful but when we struggle to run the ball, we have trouble in a game,” Schulte said. “We worked on being better with ball security the past two weeks.” The Mustangs are coming off a hard-fought 27-16 win over Prairie View in Pioneer League play last week. They are 3-1 for the first time in a long time and 2-0 in league play. Iola and Central Heights played each other in 2008 and 2009 in nonleague action. The Mustang team won 24-17 in the rain and mud in overtime at Richmond in 2008. In

NFL, refs finally strike a deal NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL’s regular officiating crews are back. Their return couldn’t have come soon enough for many players, coaches and fans. After two days of marathon negotiations — and mounting frustration throughout the league — the NFL and the officials’ union announced at midnight Thursday that a tentative eight-year agreement had been reached to end a lockout that began in June. See REFS | B2

Probable Starters

Iola High’s Mustangs look to control the line of scrimmage this week against Central Heights High’s Vikings much as they did last week against Prairie View High’s Buffalos. 2009, in Iola, the Mustangs rolled to a 45-0 win. Central Heights has junior Zach MacAfee at quarterback directing the offense. Senior Drew Beckwith is averaging 125 yards rushing a game as the starting tailback. Junior Tristan Davis is the Vikings’ fullback. “We’ll show multiple looks offensively but primarily we operate out of the I-formation. We’ll go to a spread and use double tight ends,” Schulte said. “We’re average up front. “Defensively, we are a 6-2 and morph into a 5-3 look at times.” Schulte said the Vikings will be without their top tackler senior defensive end Blake Anderson. Anderson appears to have torn his anterior cruciate ligament

(ACL) in his knee last week. Also out is senior Kyle Miller with a concussion. “We need to run the football and we need to stop Iola’s running game and if we can do that, we have a shot at winning the game,” Schulte said. “It’s homecoming for them (the Vikings) so they’ll be pumped up. We have to be ready,” Kerr said. The Mustangs showed more balance in their offense last week with a good passing outing along with running the football. That’s what Kerr is looking for from the Mustangs. “We match up pretty well with Central Heights although they are bigger than we are up front. That’s something we’re used to,” Kerr said. “Our goal is to have

a strong start, put points on the board and wear them out.” Following the win last week, Kerr talked of the concern about Iola’s special teams play. He said the Mustangs worked with a different punt formation this week plus “we’re trying to clean up our kickoff team duties.” “Special teams play changes games. Prairie View blocked a punt and scored on us. It was early and we were able to fight through it, but we need to be better,” Kerr said. Tyler Clubine, a 5-10, 175-pound senior, has taken over the starting center job on offense. Junior Quinton Morrison was ill Wednesday so he won’t start at guard. Senior Aaron Barclay moves into that spot.

“Quinton was under the weather Wednesday and didn’t get the reps at guard. He’ll be rotated in during the game,” Kerr said. “Also Devin Burton (a senior) is no longer with the team for family reasons.”

Red Devils let momentum shift, lose By JOCELYN SHEETS jocelyn@iolaregister.com

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Allen Community College’s Red Devils have been a team with a split personality in 2012. Their volleyball performances shift from being very, very good to very, very ugly. At home Wednesday night, the ugly came out. That resulted in a 25-22, 25-16, 25-13 loss to NJCAA Division II 14th-ranked Kansas City, Kan., Community College’s Blue Devils. Allen pushed out to an 8-4 lead in the home match. The Red Dev-

ils were up 19-15 and still had a 2221 lead late. But they lost the serve and Kansas City rattled off three consecutive points for the win. The Red Devils never got the momentum back in the Jayhawk Conference/NJCAA Division II district match. “We had three consecutive errors at the end of set one and that resulted in the shift that the Red Devils never gained back. We stopped playing as a team,” said Jessica Peters, ACC head coach. “It amazes me how these are the same girls. They either want it all and work for it or they expect

other teams to give it to us.” Kansas City opened the second set with six straight points and Allen never recovered. Adriee Munoz served three straight points to make it 10-6 but the Red Devils couldn’t shut the Blue Devils down enough to catch them. Allen fell behind quickly in the third set. The Red Devils were within three points, 10-7, then the Blue Devils pulled away for the match victory. “Tonight, we had one athlete who never quit — Hayley Mertens. We began depending on her heavily, which she was able

to perform, but one player was not going to defeat an opponent like KCK. We needed a team that wanted to play at her level with the effort needed to defeat or at least compete with KCK,” Peters said. Allen dropped to 9-11 overall. It is 1-3 in Jayhawk play and 1-4 in district play. Kansas City improved to 16-2, 4-0 and 3-0, respectively. The Red Devils host Cottey College in non-conference play Friday. The match begins at 6:30 p.m. at the ACC gym. See SHIFT | B2

Pittsburg was tough on our girls,â&#x20AC;? Bycroft said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had close matches all night and I was pleased with their hustle and endurance. They are getting better and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I like to see.â&#x20AC;? Katana Smith went 0-4 as Iolaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 1 singles player.

These young women are coached and trained since the day they arrive, but still continue to learn in every match, set, and point,â&#x20AC;? Peters said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope the knowledge will remain and the success will come from it. These conference matches are crucial and we have some clutch matches still left to play.â&#x20AC;?

contribution made on behalf of each game official will begin with an average of more than $18,000 per official and increase to more than $23,000 per official in 2019. Beginning with the 2013 season, the NFL will have the option to hire a number of officials on a full-time basis to work year round, including on the field. The NFL also will be able to retain additional officials for training and development, and can assign those officials to work games. The

number of additional officials will be determined by the league. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As you know, this has to be ratified and we know very little about it, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited to be back. And ready,â&#x20AC;? referee Ed Hochuli told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the most important message â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready.â&#x20AC;? The longest contract with on-field officials in NFL history was reached with the assistance of two federal mediators.

H Shift Continued from B1

Mertens finished with 17 kills and one solo block at the net. She also served three points and came up with eight digs. Munoz had seven service points and the lone ace serve for ACC. She also put up 10 set assists and came up with six digs. Jacqui Ortiz was credited with 16 set assists and led the team in digs with 10. She served two points. Sierra

H Refs Continued from B1

The deal came on the heels of Seattleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chaotic last-second win over Green Bay on Monday night in which the replacement officials struggled. Commissioner Roger Goodell, who was at the bargaining table Tuesday and Wednesday, said the regular officials would work the Browns-Ravens game at Baltimore on Thursday night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are glad to be getting back on the field for this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s games,â&#x20AC;? NFL Referees Association president Scott Green said. The tentative deal must be ratified by 51 percent of the unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 121 members. They plan to vote Friday and Saturday in Dallas. The agreement hinged on working out pension and retirement benefits for the officials, who are part-time employees of the league. The tentative pact calls for their salaries to increase from an average of $149,000 a year in 2011 to $173,000 in 2013, rising to $205,000 by 2019. Under the proposed deal, the current defined benefit pension plan will remain in place for current officials through the 2016 season or until the official earns 20 yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; service. The defined benefit plan will then be frozen. Retirement benefits will be provided for new hires, and for all officials beginning in 2017, through a defined contribution arrangement.

KU School suicide in Stillwater receives grant JEANNIE NUSS and TIM TALLEY Associated Press

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — The University of Kansas will use a $24.5 million grant to establish a national center aimed at improving how children with disabilities are taught. Kansas officials said Wednesday the five-year grant from the U.S. Department of Education is the largest grant ever received at the university. The money was awarded to the university’s Life Span Institute. Wayne Sailor, a special education professor, will be lead investigator for the grant project. He says the project would be based on research conducted in the last 20 years, which shows that students with disabilities do better when placed in classrooms with other students. The Lawrence JournalWorld reports the project will concentrate on ways to teach special-education students and other students together in gradelevel classrooms.

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — A gunshot rang out at an Oklahoma junior high school before classes began Wednesday, terrifying teenagers who feared a gunman was on the loose. Soon, though, students learned no one else was in danger. One of their eighth-grade classmates had taken his own life, shooting himself in the head with a handgun in the hall, authorities said. “Throughout the entire thing, we all thought someone shot someone else,” said student Paiton Gardner, 14. “We didn’t know it was a suicide. We were freaking out.” Some students bolted outside Stillwater Junior High. Staffers quickly locked down the building and evacuated the rest of the school’s 700 eighth- and ninth-graders, along with students from an adjacent elementary school, police Capt. Randy Dickerson said. Dickerson said the 13-year-old didn’t leave a note, and authorities said they don’t know why he

killed himself. Superintendent Ann Caine, who oversees the district about 70 miles west of Tulsa, said there weren’t any reports that the teen had been bullied. “There is no indication that that’s what occurred,” Caine said. She said the teen was a good student who got along with other kids. About 120 people attended a vigil Wednesday evening at Highland Park United Methodist Church. Hana Sumpter, a 14-yearold eight-grader, said she was friends with the boy, adding that he had given no indication of problems beforehand. “He acted like he usually does,” she said. Police wouldn’t say where the weapon came from or how the eighthgrader got it into the school. Caine said there aren’t any metal detectors but expects there will be discussions about the policy. Gardner said she realized something was wrong early Wednesday when students began to run past her. “People looked terri-

fied,” said Gardner, a ninthgrader. “The football coach was like, ‘Get out, get out! Someone’s been shot.’” Another ninth-grader, Jake Green, said he heard the single shot ring out after he and dozens of other students gathered to pray before school. “We heard this loud boom and everyone just got quiet,” Green said. “No one said a word.” A teacher told the students to get out of the building, Green said. “Everyone was really scared. We didn’t know if the kid shot himself or if there was a shooter outside the school who shot in,” Green said. “Everyone didn’t know what was going on, so they were screaming and running as fast as they could to get to the playground.” Green said students who were already in their classrooms were locked in the building for about an hour. Parents were told to pick up their children at a nearby shopping center. “It was really scary,” Green said. “Everyone’s kind of traumatized and doesn’t know how to act or respond.”

ELMWOOD, Okla. (AP) — An SUV veered across a highway median in the Oklahoma Panhandle early Wednesday and slammed head-on into an oncoming van full of men headed to work at a Texas meatpacking plant, killing both drivers and five of the six van passengers, authorities said. The 2012 Chevy Suburban was moving fast and passed a couple of trucks on U.S. Highway 412 just before it crossed the center line and collided with a 2003 Ford van near Elmwood, Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper Betsy Randolph said. She said investigators were trying to determine whether the SUV was speeding. “It was pretty horrific,” Randolph said. “The lieutenant I talked to said he’d worked in Beaver County for 24 years, and he’s never seen anything like that. When you have that many bodies involved in a crash, it’s terrible.” All seven of the men in the van were from Liberal, Kan., and were headed to

work at the Booker Packing Co. plant a few miles south of the Texas border in Booker, Randolph said. The Highway Patrol said late Wednesday the van with five passengers was being driven eastbound by Alejandro Mejia Lopez on U.S. 412 when a 2012 Chevy Suburban driven westbound by Bobby Carroll Matthews crossed the center line and hit the van head-on. Killed along with the 28-year-old Lopez were Julio Ramos Perez, 25; Rigoberto Toj Garcia, 24; Julio Cesar Don Juan Morino, 27; Sebastian Sucuquai Saquic, 21; and Juan Lorenzo, 56. Francisco Diaz, 33, was listed Wednesday night in critical condition at an Amarillo, Texas, hospital where he was airlifted. Police said they do not know what caused the 55-year-old Matthews, of Woodward, Okla., to lose control of his vehicle. Both lanes of the highway were temporarily closed but reopened about five hours later.

Medicaid plan shows promise “ This is a volun-

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas is making progress in overhauling its Medicaid system for the poor and disabled, officials from two state agencies told a legislative committee Wednesday. Kansas has saved more than $1.3 million from changes the state made to the federal-state program in the past year, Shawn Sullivan, secretary of the Department for Aging and Disability Services, said. The savings came from reducing staff when some state agencies were merged and several employees took voluntary early retirement, he said. Kansas is seeking a federal waiver as part of the overhaul that will allow the state to use federal Medicaid dollars for Republican Gov. Sam Brownback administration’s managed care plan, called KanCare. Kari Bruffett, director of

the Division of Health Care Finance for the Department of Health and Environment said the state was in negotiations with federal regulators to win the approval. Under KanCare, nearly all of the state’s 380,000 Medicaid beneficiaries will be placed under three private managed-care organizations. Brownback’s administration has said the move will save the state $1 billion during the next five years without cutting benefits, limiting enrollment or lowering provider compensation rates.

Sullivan said any additional staff reductions will be handled through attrition. The secretary also discussed a pilot project that will help the state transition residents who receive developmental disability services. He said 10 community developmental disability organizations had agreed to part of the program, which will be handled through the three managed care organizations. Legislators authorized the pilot program as a means to delay full implementation of the Medicaid overhaul over concerns about the services that would be provided to about 8,000 individuals. The pilot program doesn’t include residents who receive physical or behavioral health services. “This is all a voluntary program. It’s up to them if they want to sign up,” Sullivan said.

Don’t replace shocks based on mileage Dear Tom and Ray: While watching a baseball game, an ad on the backstop said to change your shocks at 50,000 miles. I realize this national shock-replacement company is trying to sell shocks. What I want to know: Is 50,000 miles a hard and fast number? If not, how does one know when to change the shocks? — Ken RAY: No, there’s no reason to automatically change your shocks at 50,000 miles. We see lots of cars these days whose shocks last more than 100,000 miles. So these guys are just hoping to double their income. TOM: If it works, we’re going to try it, too! RAY: Even to estimate how long your shocks will last, you have to evaluate them on a car-by-car basis. First, you have to factor in the quality of the shocks that came with the car, which varies. Then you have to consider the type of driving the car is asked to do. TOM: If you do a lot of smooth highway driving, the shocks mostly are just sitting there, doing very little. They’ll last a long time when they’re doing nothing. RAY: My brother’s hoping for the same result for himself. TOM: Whereas if you drive on a lot of unimproved roads with potholes and

Car Talk

Tom and Ray Magliozzi bumps and lots of dead armadillos, you easily could go through a set of shocks in 50,000 miles. RAY: And how does a mechanic know if you need new shocks? He looks for leaks. If a shock is leaking, it’s either worn out or it’s well on its way to being worn out. That’s the definitive sign. TOM: There’s also a practical test you can do at home. You get someone big (try a mother-in-law, for instance) to push hard on a corner of the car and get it bouncing down and up, down and up. Then, when it’s at the bottom of its cycle, you let go and see what happens. RAY: If the corner of the car comes up and stops, without going down and up again, that shock is good (assuming it hasn’t started leaking). If the car keeps cycling up and down, even a little bit, after you let go of it, the shock is worn out. TOM: Shocks don’t really degrade over time. They’re usually either good or bad, so there’s no need to replace them unless they’ve actually stopped working. Good luck, Ken.

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.

Israel makes case against Iran O’Neal to take reins at State Chamber By ARON HELLER Associated Press

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will make his case against Iran before the United Nations General Assembly today, arguing that time is quickly running out to stop the Islamic Republic from becoming a nuclear power and the threat of force must be seriously considered. His demand that President Barack Obama declare “red lines” that would trigger an American attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities has been rejected in Washington and sparked a public rift between the two leaders. Netanyahu claims international diplomatic efforts and economic sanctions have failed. His time at the U.N. podium gives him an opportunity in front of the international commu-

nity to press his case once again, perhaps in a final plea before Israel takes matters into its own hands. Israeli leaders have issued a series of warnings in recent weeks suggesting that if Iran’s uranium enrichment program continues it may soon stage a unilateral military strike, flouting even American wishes. The Obama administration has urgently sought to hold off Israeli military action, which would likely result in the U.S. being pulled into a conflict and cause regionwide mayhem on the eve of American elections. Such an attack would almost certainly lead to retaliatory Iranian missile strikes on Israeli population centers. On Sunday, Iranian leaders suggested they may strike Israeli preemptively if they feel threatened.

Israel considers a nuclear-armed Iran to be an existential threat, citing Iranian calls for Israel’s destruction, Iran’s development of missiles capable of striking the Jewish state and its support for hostile Arab militant groups. Also today, on the sidelines of the General Assembly, key figures will gather for a Friends of Yemen meeting that will be co-chaired by British Foreign Secretary William Hague, Yemen’s President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi and Saudi Arabia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Abdulaziz bin Abdullah Abdullah. The meeting will produce a communique aimed at generating support for Hadi, who took office in February after more than a year of political turmoil and is now trying to steer his country’s democratic transition.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Kansas Chamber of Commerce has hired retiring House Speaker Mike O’Neal as president and CEO. O’Neal, a Hutchinson Republican, is leaving the House in January after 28 years when his current term ends. He announced in June he would not seek

re-election. O’Neal said Wednesday the Chamber of Commerce position is a natural fit with his own philosophies and interests. As president and CEO he will succeed Kent Beisner, who is staying with the chamber as chief operating officer. O’Neal has served four

years as H o u s e Speaker and was heavily involved in this year’s passage of income tax cuts. He Mike O’Neal plans to move to northeast Kansas.
