Allen County in running for national health award

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

Community health efforts throughout Allen County continue to be noticed across the country.

The latest comes from “the gold standard” of philanthropic organizations.

Local health officials learned this week that Allen

County was chosen as a finalist for the fifth annual RWJB “Culture of Health” p r i z e awarded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, named after one

of the founders of Johnson & Johnson, is the largest philanthropic organization in the United States.

Allen County is one of 10 finalists for the Culture of Health award, which have been selected from more than 200 communities across the country. The top prize is $25,000.

The application is a joint

project between Allen County Regional Hospital and Thrive Allen County.

“The prize money would be nice,” David Toland, CEO of Thrive Allen County said, “but what’s important is to be recognized on a national level and the other opportunities this would open.”

THE PRIZE is guided by

the principle that every community has the potential to improve and be a healthier place to live.

Allen County was required to meet several pieces of criteria: defining health in the broadest possible terms; committing to sustainable systems changes and policySee AWARD | Page A5

Residents to get say in LaHarpe City Hall

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

LAHARPE — Mayor Mae Crowell said she has fielded several phone calls from concerned citizens about the fate of City Hall.

A Febr u a r y article in the Register noting the LaHarpe City Council is looking into whether it would be cheaper to renovate the old city hall building on Main Street rather than continuing to use the old LaHarpe Elementary School facility sparked the flurry of calls, Crowell said.

All were against moving back to Main Street, she said, citing distress of losing the city library, museum and an ideal spot for such things as funeral dinners and other community events at the existing location.

Councilman David Lee has encouraged the city to look at returning to its former environs because of the high cost of utilities, as much as $25,000 annually.

Crowell said those numbers are inflated beSee LAHARPE | Page A5

SOFT SPOT FOR SENIORS

By SHELLIE SMITLEY The Iola Register

Local volunteer Anita Catron has a heart for seniors.

Catron began the once-amonth potluck supper at the Iola Senior Center about eight years ago. She and her sister, Sherry Jones, brother, Jerry Jones, and daughter, Angie Nash, provide the meal — and entertainment — to anyone over the age of 50. Catron and her family prepare the main entree and visitors may bring a dish to pass. This month’s entree is fried chicken. En-

tertainment varies month-tomonth, she said, but usually includes either country or gospel music. The event takes place at 5 p.m. on the second Saturday of the month.

“Just a good get-together for everybody,” Catron said.

“It lets people see what the center is like.”

Catron has felt drawn to senior citizens since her mother died 10 years ago. She said she wished she could have done more to help her mother before she died. She has turned that regret into a positive direction by helping the senior

generation.

Three days a week she helps with lunch duties, but that is not all that Catron does. Almost two years ago, with seniors in mind, she purchased a five-passenger van to transport them to parks, outings, medical appointments and stores as needed. Recently, she met a woman who said she intended to cancel an appointment for cancer treatment because she could not drive to Kansas City.

“That’s when I told her I would take her up there,” Catron said.

Often it is for entertainment purposes that she loads up the van.

“Sometimes we just go out to A & W and have floats,” she said. A few years ago she took a group of seniors to Fort Scott Jubilee.

Catron, 60, said she enjoys the older generation’s values.“This generation of people is awesome and I have learned a lot from them.”

Most of her friends are between 80 and 90 years old.

Catron said ensuring that See SENIORS | Page A5

Eggs, meat, cheese: All in a day’s work

Quote of the day Vol. 119, No. 88

It was a day of meat and cheese judging, Tuesday, at the Southeast District Judging Contest, hosted by Allen Community College.

Iola High School’s B-team and A-team placed first and third respectively in the dairy cattle division. Individually, Elka Billings placed second overall and Torre DePriest placed third. Marmaton Valley’s A-team took first place in the milk quality division. Team member Noah Pilcher placed second overall and Emily Smart placed third.

Students from 16 high

schools throughout southeastern Kansas competed in poultry, cattle and dairy categories. Agriculture instructor Terry Powelson said the number of students who participated in this year’s FFA event was encouraging.

Two hundred ninety-three students used their agricultural “know-how” to evaluate everything from chicken carcass quality to ready-to-eat products, and from milk quality to udder development and structure of cattle.

“These are kids that maybe are not necessarily going to go back to the farm to do farm work,” Powelson said, “But they are going to get some kind of job opportunity in ag-

riculture.”

Girard High School student Mary Zimmerman said the contest is an invaluable way to see how food gets from the farm to the table. She has developed a passion for meat judging.

“Now when I go to the store, if we need to buy steak or hamburger, I know what to look for,” she said. “The qualities of a good piece of meat are interesting.”

Powelson said the event is a “win-win” opportunity for ACC. By hosting the event, students gain a unique experience while potential students get the opportunity to see programs the college offers.

Congressman under fire for comments

Obituaries

By Jim McLean Kansas News Service

Bill Higinbotham William Clarence “Hig” Higinbotham, formerly of Moran, died on Monday, March 6, 2017, as a result of vascular dementia, at the Eureka Nursing Center in Eureka, at the age of 76.

He was born March 15, 1940, in Elsmore, the son of Emerson Kenneth and June Olive (Wilson) Higinbotham. He was raised in Moran and graduated from Moran High School. Following high school he joined the U.S. Marine Corps where he served with dignity and honor. He was honorably discharged in 1964.

On Nov. 21, 1959, Bill was united in marriage to Joyce Elaine Smith, in Mildred. To this union three children were born. Following his service to his country, Bill went to work for H. K. Porter, and later for Churchill Pumpjack. He then began his career as a welder in power plants for the next 30 years, until his retirement. He loved to fish, hunt and travel in his free time. He was a member of the Boilermakers Union Local No. 83 of Kansas City.

Bill is survived by his wife, Joyce, Wichita; two sons, Brian Higinbotham and wife Tracy, Silver Lake, and Kenneth Higinbotham and wife Michelle, Muscle Shoals, Ala.; one daughter, Lanette and husband Michael Kress, Goddard; five grandchildren; one great-grandchild; one brother, Don Higinbotham, LaHarpe; and one sister, Kay Naff, Independence. He was preceded in death by his parents.

Funeral services were today. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that memorials be made to Rivercross Hospice. Contributions may be sent in care of Koup Family Funeral Home, P.O. Box 595, Eureka, KS 67045, which is overseeing service arrangements.

Janet Treat Janet (Morrison) Treat, 73, who grew up on a farm northeast of LaHarpe, died Tuesday, March 7, 2017.

Treat and her husband, Earl, spent time in the Republic of Georgia in the former Soviet Union in the 1990s as part of a church effort from Fort Collins, Colo., to start a Christian school. The School of Tomorrow continues in operation today and hosts students from several countries, many with a Muslim background.

Her husband, five sons and 12 grandchildren survive.

Record-breaking weather

By SHELLIE SMITLEY The Iola Register

January and February brought recordbreaking temperatures to Allen County.

Iola set seven records the first two months of the year, Department of Agronomy, Mary Knapp said.

The first two months of the season averaged 37.3 degrees, creating a three-way tie for the 19th warmest winter on record. This is the warmest winter since 1941, which saw a mean average temperature of 37.2 degrees. Iolans enjoyed spring-like weather on Jan. 12 and Jan. 31 with record-breaking temperatures in the 70s. At 81 degrees, Feb. 23 beat the previous record of 75 degrees, set in 1976. Environmentalists should not jump to conclusions though, Knapp said.

“One winter can’t be attributed to global warming,” Knapp said.” It could be the result of the La Niña,(temperatures) cooler than waters in the Equatorial Pacific, which tends to bring warmer-than-normal temperatures.”

The mild winter has resulted in early emergence from dormancy of crops, bugs, trees and flowers, she said.

The danger associated with early emergence is that a normal freeze date could cause damage to plants, depending upon their development stage, the date the freeze occurs, how cold the temperatures get and the duration of the cold spell. A cold

snap could reduce the number of insects if it happens when they are in a vulnerable phase.

The good news for those who cherish the warm temperatures is that the latest seasonal outlook from the National Climate Prediction Center shows a slight tilt toward war mer-than-nor mal temperatures this summer. Rainfall is harder to predict. Precipitation is equally likely to be above or below normal, Knapp said.

Kansas freshman Republican Congressman Roger Marshall is getting a baptism of fire as he campaigns for the American Health Care Act — the bill Republicans introduced this week to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare.

Marshall, a longtime obstetrician from Great Bend who retired from his practice to run for Congress, already is making headlines. Interviewed for a recent article in STAT, an online medical news site, Marshall cited Jesus and the Bible when explaining his view that efforts to provide health care to low-income Americans can be a waste of time and money.

“There is a group of people that just don’t want health care,” Marshall said. “Just like homeless people … I think just morally, spiritually, socially [some people] just don’t want health care.”

Continuing, he said, “The Medicaid population, which is [on] a free credit card, as a group, do probably the least preventive medicine and taking care of themselves and eating healthy and exercising.

And I’m not judging.

I’m just saying socially that’s where they are.”

Marshall also got an earful recently from a group of constituents who turned out for the opening of his district office in Salina.

Asked how the replacement bill would protect people with pre-existing conditions from being denied coverage, as they were prior to Obamacare, Marshall said, “I think high-risk pools are the answer.”

Several in the crowd jeered and one woman shouted, “You’re a baby boomer, you can’t be that stupid.”

Briefly losing his temper, Marshall responded, “Ma’am, I have probably forgotten more about health care than you know, so to call me stupid on

health care is probably ridiculous.”

Marshall insists that allowing states to re-establish high-risk pools would provide people with chronic conditions continued access to health insurance while stabilizing rates for healthy people purchasing coverage in the individual market. But Jean Hall, a University of Kansas researcher who has written extensively about high-risk pools for several national health policy organizations, says they don’t work.

“What we found in Kansas was that premiums were very high and the coverage was very limited,” Hall said. “So, you have people with chronic conditions who don’t have access to very comprehensive care.”

Kansas and Missouri were among 35 states that operated high-risk pools prior to the passage of Obamacare. Studies showed that only a fraction of the people who needed high-risk pool coverage purchased it,

mainly because it was

too expensive.

Jennifer Weishaar of Lawrence suffers from polycystic ovary syndrome, a chronic disorder that often leads to diabetes and sometimes cancer. Uninsured prior to the passage of Obamacare, she checked into high-risk pool coverage but couldn’t afford it.

The premiums were exorbitant,” Weishaar said.

Weishaar said she stopped getting regular checkups until she was able to purchase subsidized coverage in

the Obamacare marketplace. Only then did doctors discover several large polyps on her colon that required surgery.

Getting coverage when she did might have saved her life, Weishaar said.

“There is a very real line for me, from having insurance to being able to go to the doctor to having this found and not having colon cancer at age 36 or not being dead,” she said.

Requiring people with pre-existing conditions — an estimated 30 percent of the population — to seek coverage in statebased high-risk pools seems like a backward move to Weishaar.

“The idea that we should now put all the people who we know are sick into this one specific plan where the costs are going to be exorbitant and in no way affordable is ridiculous,” she said.

One of the aims of Obamacare was to dilute the cost of covering people with chronic health conditions by including

them in as broad an insurance pool as possible. However, when not enough young, healthy people bought coverage in the Obamacare marketplace to balance the risk, premiums went up and some insurance companies pulled out, causing Marshall and others to declare it a failure.

“It’s broken, it’s not working,” he said.

Even so, re-establishing high-risk pools would be expensive. The $100 billion allocated in the replacement bill to help fund the pools over the next 10 years won’t be enough to keep premiums affordable, Hall said.

“States would have to come up with a lot of additional funding,” she said. “Assuming that they want to make it affordable for people.”

The political debate aside, Julie Holmes, director of the health and life division in the Kansas Insurance Department, said it would be relatively easy to establish the state’s high-risk pool because the law that authorized the old one is still on the books.

“From that perspective we’re ahead of the game,” Holmes said.

“So, we wouldn’t have to necessarily re-create the wheel, but it would definitely have to be reworked to fit whatever it is that comes down the pike.”

Fearing cuts, some stock up on birth control

By CHRISTINE VESTAL Stateline.org (TNS)

WASHINGTON (TNS) — Mary Bonheimer wants to wait a few years before having another child. Uninsured and working part time as a waitress so she and her fiance can split time caring for their 18-monthold daughter, she plans to stay on birth control pills for now.

But Bonheimer, 22, and her friends in Warsaw, Ind., are worried that the local family planning clinic might shut down under new policies put forward

by President Donald Trump’s administration. Her sister had a hormonal implant inserted into her arm that will provide birth control for three years, Bonheimer said. Other women she knows are switching to intrauterine devices (IUDs) and other long-acting contraceptives to ensure they are protected against an unwanted pregnancy for as long as possible.

Nationwide, family planning clinics are seeing a surge in demand for contraceptive services, particularly long-acting IUDs and implants.

In Indiana, appointments for long-acting birth control methods have jumped by more than 50 percent compared with last year, said Kristin Adams, CEO of the Indiana Family Health Council, which oversees federal and state funding for family planning clinics in the state, including at the Warsaw center.

“We’re hearing some patients who have a long-acting device that’s good for only three years tell us to rip it out and put in the 10-year plan,” Adams said. “It’s a sad state of affairs that women have to put off childbearing for 10 years because they’re afraid of losing their insurance.”

In state capitols, lawmakers are responding.

As a hedge against the Trump administration’s promise to rewrite the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and a House resolution that would allow federal funds to be withheld from family planning groups that provide abortions, legislators in several states are proposing laws that would require all insurers, including Medicaid, to pay for contraceptive services without copays and without delays.

Other proposals, although not a direct response to Trump administration policies, would give women greater access to contraception.

New bills in more than a dozen states would allow women to stockpile a year’s worth of birth control pills with one visit to a pharmacy, making it less likely that their supply will run out and they stop taking them because they can’t pay for them.

Other bills in a handful of states would allow pharmacists to prescribe pills and other forms of hormonal birth control without requiring the delay and cost of a doctor’s visit.

Advocates for greater access to contraception attribute the nation’s 26 percent drop in the rate of abortions between 2008 and 2014 to greater use of highly effective contraception methods.

The rate of unplanned pregnancies declined during the same period, as well. Abortion opponents, however, argue that reduced abortion rates are due to stricter state abortion laws.

Like roughly 8 million women nationwide,

Bonheimer receives publicly funded birth control services. But the local clinic that provides her the services, the Warsaw Family Health Center, and nearly 7,700

clinics may have to close their doors. That’s already happening in Indiana, Adams said.

The Jan. 21 Women’s March on Washington and other grass-roots women’s movements that have sprung up since the November election have raised awareness of the potential for funding cuts to Planned Parenthood and other family planning centers under the new administration and Republican-led Congress.

“We’ve been hearing from doctors and other providers over the past several months that many women are concerned that the contraceptive coverage now available to them will vanish,” Albert said.

Low-income women who rely on Medicaid or federally subsidized family planning services are most concerned, he said. Like everyone else, they’re hearing that funding for reproductive health centers

Advocates for greater access to contraception attribute the nation’s 26% drop in abortions between 2008 and 2014 to greater use of highly effective contraception methods.

others across the nation may soon start to disappear, cautioned Bill Albert, chief program officer for the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, which advocates for greater access to contraception.

If federal funding for family planning services is cut, and if Medicaid reimbursements decline under an ACA replacement law, Albert and other advocates for women’s health say many thinly financed

could dry up. “But the monster in the room is repeal of the ACA.” Albert said increased demand for contraception is usually welcomed because it can lead to a reduction in unplanned pregnancies. But family planning clinics have been underfunded for so long that they aren’t able to take advantage of the recent surge, he said. Federal funding for contraceptive services have remained flat or declined since 2005, despite increases in drug

and device costs.

In Indiana, an estimated 446,000 low-income women in their childbearing years are unable to pay for birth control. But clinics in the state are only able to serve about 30,000 of them, according to Adams of the Indiana Family Health Council.

“Flat funding means we can’t maintain quality staff and we can’t keep up with inflation of drug and labor costs.

So we’ve had to close clinics,” she said. Three of the state’s 35 family planning centers have closed since 2014, she said.

CURRENTLY, contraception is considered preventive care under the ACA, which means Medicaid and commercial insurers must pay for it at no charge to the patient. The federal health law calls for coverage of all forms of contraception approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, including female sterilization, without requiring women to try the cheapest birth control method first, as is often required by insurers for other medical services.

But the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has the discretion to remove contraception from the list of preventive services covered by the ACA. The National Campaign and other advocates for women’s health worry that Trump’s HHS secretary, Tom Price, who has said federal funding for birth control is unnecessary and that providing it violates religious freedoms, could delete it from the ACA’s preventive care list.

could mean states would lower reimbursement rates for contraception and many women would lose Medicaid coverage altogether.

Republicans in Congress also have repeatedly called for elimination of the roughly $300 million grant program known as Title X that funds Planned Parenthood and other local family planning clinics like the one in Warsaw.

Birth control pills, developed in the early 1960s, remain the predominant form of contraception in the U.S., particularly for young women. The daily pills are also the cheapest method, other than condoms. But more expensive longer-lasting methods, including IUDs, hormonal implants, injections, patches and vaginal rings are growing in popularity.

Research shows that longer-lasting methods, which can provide protection for three to 12 years, are the most effective form of birth control, resulting in less than one pregnancy per 100 women in a year compared to nine pregnancies per 100 women who take the pill.

At least 38 million women of reproductive age (13 to 44) need contraceptive services because they are sexually active and do not want to become pregnant, according to the Guttmacher Institute, which collects and analyzes data on women’s reproductive health. In 2014, more than half of them, an estimated 20 million, needed subsidized services because they were unable to purchase contraception on their own.

Thirty-nine percent of those received care at federally funded clinics or from private practice doctors serving Medicaid enrollees.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Sports stardom can set course on a rocky road Josh Jackson, the No. 1 high school basketball recruit in the nation last year, may not have taken his mother’s lessons to heart after deciding to spend a year playing for the KU Jayhawks before cashing in with the pros.

Jackson has had a couple of run-ins with the law — her missteps were in the classroom — for vandalizing a female student’s car and backing into a parked car without sticking around to take responsibility.

The 6-foot-8 Jackson, as basketball fans know, is terrific on the court and has been a key performer for Kansas. Whether that has anything to do with how Coach Bill Self treated the two incidents is conjecture: Punishment for his first incident was “handled internally” without Jackson being suspended; the second resulted in him being suspended for the first game of the Big 12 tournament, which the Jayhawks, seeded No. 1, probably could win relying on reserves.

Whether any of this is right or wrong would be subjective judgment for someone not in the loop.

An article that appeared in the Lexington (Ky.) Herald-Leader last year reported an interesting aside, as well as some things about Allen Community College that we found distressing.

His mother, Apples Jones, also was a standout basketball player in Detroit. “... while she had more than enough on-court talent to earn a Division I scholarship, she hadn’t applied herself in the classroom and didn’t have the grades …,” wrote Ben Roberts, of the Herald-Leader sports department.

That’s how she ended up at ACC. This is where the story gets sticky. “... the situation was pretty much the same,” Roberts reported.

“Jones excelled on the basketball court while coasting through her academic work — doing just enough to get by but not applying herself to any great degree.”

Jones “had a rude awakening” when she went to the University of Texas-El Paso following two years in Iola.

Jones “rarely went to class, assuming she would get by like she had in the past.” Imagine the impact when she failed most of

her first-semester classes.

Meanwhile, she was having a great year on the court, averaging 15.1 points and 6.7 rebounds. She played the second semester on probation, on the way to earning all-conference honors.

Even though doing better academically the second semester, her grades weren’t good enough for a senior year of basketball. The Navy beckoned her to come be a parachute rigger. So did love: She became pregnant within a year and left the service.

WHILE JOSH Jackson may have stumbled a couple of times at KU, from all indications Jones learned from her mistakes.

During his recruitment, which began long before he graduated high school, Jones was near at hand.

She told Roberts: “Every parents wants the best for their kids. But you have to get in there. You have to ask the hard questions. You have to be wary of other people. You have to be skeptical all the time.”

THE POINT: Jackson, like so many other talented young players — in any sport — has been bathed with adulation since the first hint of his extraordinary basketball talent, often given advantage of which friends and other students could only dream.

Such sports stars are elevated to a pedestal and, when they’re as fine a player as Jackson, the adulation becomes hero worship.

Adults live vicariously through the players and are willing to make most any concession to befriend them, and help decide a college destination.

However, they still are kids and haven’t had the life experiences usually necessary to make well-informed decisions — adults often fall into the same trap. (Think not? Join me in remembering your college days, with the freedom of being an adult but not yet all the responsibilities.)

We suspect Jackson has learned from his mistakes, just as his mother did, unless the lure of becoming an instant multi-millionaire as a top pick for the NBA interferes. Ample examples of that occurring are plentiful.

— Bob Johnson

Who hates the GOP’s health plan? The GOP WASHINGTON — President Trump, long at the forefront of intellectual discovery, last week came up with a major finding: Health-care reform is hard. “Unbelievably complex,” in fact.

“Nobody knew that health care could be so complicated,” the president said.

Actually, we all knew. That’s why Republicans’ successor plan to Obamacare, “repeal and replace,” became repeal and delay. That’s why House Republicans kept their draft legislation under guard in a secret, GOP-only “reading room” in the Capitol, so copies wouldn’t leak. That’s why they decided to push the legislation through committees this week only a couple of days after introducing it — and before waiting for the Congressional Budget Office to say how much the legislation would cost taxpayers and how many people would lose health insurance.

Apparently they have to pass the bill so we can find out what’s in it.

And now that Republican leaders in the House have finally revealed their plan, the magic formula turns out to be ... a cheap knockoff of Obamacare: covering fewer people, charging them more and giving a tax cut to the rich.

Democrats, predictably, panned it because it’s a cheap knockoff of Obamacare, and they prefer the original over imitators. The bigger problem for GOP leaders is that conservatives also panned it because, well, it’s a cheap knockoff of Obamacare.

Outside the Capitol Tuesday afternoon, conservative legislators lined up to denounce the bill.

“A step in the wrong direction,” said Sen. Mike Lee (RUtah).

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) likened the “flawed bill” to “horse excrement.”

“Let’s not lower the bar on what we believe simply be-

Dana Milbank Washington Post Writers Group cause a Republican is in the White House,” said Rep. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.).

“Obviously,” deduced Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), “we have some serious concerns.”

The sales effort so far has been wanting. Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), defending the legislation on CNN on Tuesday, suggested that Americans, “rather than getting that new iPhone that they just love and they want to spend hundreds of dollars on that, maybe they should invest in their own health care.”

The authors of the legislation, Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady (R-Tex.) and Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Greg Walden (R-Ore.), didn’t do much better. They paraded their 123-page bill before the cameras Tuesday morning with a sign pasted on it: “Read the Bill.”

They came armed with a letter from Trump’s health and human services secretary, Tom Price, backing the legislation (Trump himself calls it “wonderful”), but they had no direct answers for how much the bill would cost, how many fewer would be covered and what sort of tax break the wealthy would see.

CBS’s Nancy Cordes pointed out that Republicans complained for years about Democrats ramming through Obamacare. “So aren’t you doing the exact same thing?”

“No, not at all,” replied Walden — who then admitted he was indeed following the procedure the Democrats did when, in passing Obamacare, “they didn’t have a CBO score before it went up to the Budget

Committee.”

The Republican legislation also includes many of the “gimmicks” they decried in Obamacare: delaying implementation of costly provisions to out years to make the bill appear cheaper than it is. The bill, which Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) called “Obamacare 2.0,” uses the structure of Obamacare, sustains Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion at least through 2020 and keeps the “Cadillac tax” on generous health-care plans.

Democrats say the GOP plan would cause at least 11 million to lose health coverage, cause premium, co-pay and deductible increases, deplete the Medicare trust fund, and amount to a huge transfer of wealth to the richest. They are getting a bit of support from a group of four relatively moderate Senate Republicans who have already demanded protections for those covered

by Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion.

Powerful conservative groups such as Heritage Action, FreedomWorks and Club for Growth have all denounced the GOP legislation.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) called the bill “Obamacare lite,” and he and Rep. Jim Jordan (ROhio) said they would reintroduce legislation calling for an outright repeal of Obamacare.

Brady, one of the authors of Obamacare lite, warned Republicans: “We can act now or we can keep fiddling around and squander this opportunity to repeal Obamacare.”

Apparently, that argument hasn’t prevailed. As Brady and Walden finished their news conference, an email from House Speaker Paul D. Ryan’s (R-Wis.) office arrived announcing a do-over: Brady and Walden would have another health-care news conference later in the day, this time joined by Ryan.

Who knew it would be so hard?

Lawmakers shouldn’t be afraid of the people they represent Across the United States, democracy is taking place, as previously apathetic or disengaged residents decide to take an active role in their government, largely through attendance at congressional town hall meetings.

Now that people care enough to ask questions and compel lawmakers to do their work, it seems some members of Congress aren’t quite so interested in the sometimes ugly, unruly and uncontrollable American public.

Kansas is no exception.

Both Sens. Pat Roberts and Jerry Moran have missed out on scheduled town hall meetings where hundreds of constituents gathered to speak

to the Washington, D.C., officials. Roberts turned down the chance to attend a meeting scheduled in Wichita, instead opting to hang out with his friends at the Kansas Chamber of Commerce dinner.

Elsewhere, members of Congress have exhibited even more worrisome behavior. In Texas, the often inflammatory Louie Gohmert expressed fear that he might be shot, citing the 2011 shooting of Rep. Gabby Giffords at a public appearance in a grocery store parking lot in Arizona.

“At this time, there are groups from the more violent strains of the leftist ideology, some even being paid, who are preying on public town halls

to wreak havoc and threaten public safety,” Gohmert said Tuesday in The Hill.

Ironically, many of these members of Congress, now so fearful of violence and an armed citizenry, have campaigned on the idea that good guys with guns help keep the world safe. It seems this logic would carry over to town hall meetings and other public appearances by members of Congress.

The legitimate threat of violence against a member of Congress is slim. There’s most often intense security, screening and most people aren’t bent toward violence. And contrary to statements like those from Gohmert and Pres-

ident Donald Trump, while attendees of such town halls might be organized — much like the Republican-friendly tea party — they likewise aren’t paid to stir up trouble.

They are citizens who at long last have demanded that they be heard.

If members of Congress choose to talk to their constituents at all, it most often is through social media or the bogus “telephone town hall” that creates a great deal of space between the elected and those they serve.

What is really happening, behind the fearful rhetoric, is that we have in Congress a group of people who are fearful of being held responsible

for their actions. They are afraid to face their constituents, and they are fearful of looking in the eye the very people their decisions have harmed. We have a ruling class that would rather surround itself with comforting words, like-minded individuals and the money that flows their way from the business interests that use Congress to do their bidding.

These esteemed men and women might be afraid, but it’s not of violence. It’s a fear of stepping out from the safety of their powerful enclaves to face the truth of what they have done to this country and its people.

Trump meets with former rivals Headed to Rome?

By JILL COLVIN The Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — After spending months rehashing the brutal GOP primary campaign and bragging about his victory, President Donald Trump has quietly launched a charm offensive, reaching out to former rivals whose help he now needs.

The latest on his list: Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, who has said he has significant concerns about the GOP health care bill Trump is pushing for passage. The president and first lady hosted Cruz and his wife, Heidi, and their two daughters for dinner Wednesday night — a day after Trump broke bread with Sen. Lindsay Graham, another rival, over lunch.

Trump has also been spending time with Sen. Marco Rubio, giving him a ride to Florida on Air Force One last week and hosting him and his wife for dinner at the White House. He met recently with Gov. John Kasich of Ohio, hosted Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey and his wife for Valentine’s Day meatloaf, and had a working lunch with Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin — all former campaign foes.

The meetings come as Trump continues to lob unsupported accusations at his predecessor in the White House, Barack Obama, alienating a potential source of guidance as he’s turned his focus toward selling a legislative agenda that he’ll need every possible ally to pass.

That means wooing former rivals like Cruz and Sen. Rand Paul, whom Trump has spoken to several times

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — There were conflicting reports Wednesday about the possibility of Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback being named to an ambassadorship in Rome representing the U.S. at United Nations agricultural organizations.

The Associated Press could not confirm the reports.

Kansas Public Radio said Brownback would be appointed U.S. ambassador for three food and agriculture organizations in Rome. It cited an anonymous

former high-ranking government official as its source.

The Kansas City Star said in a report citing unnamed sources that no offer has been extended but the governor has discussed the possibility of taking the job.

The reports come with Kansas facing a budget crisis and Brownback trying to stave off income tax increases supported by many fellow Republicans. If he leaves, Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer would become governor.

USA/AUDE GUERRUCCI/TNS

since taking office, including this week, said Paul’s spokesman Sergio Gor. But the 2016 Republican campaign was uniquely brutal, leading to some awkward interactions.

During the campaign, Trump not only went after Cruz, giving him the nickname ‘Lyin’ Ted,’ questioning his faith and bizarrely suggesting his father may have been involved in the Kennedy assassination. He also went after Cruz’s wife, re-tweeting an unflattering photo of her next to his wife and threatening to “spill the beans” on her.

Cruz responded by calling Trump “a sniveling coward” and labeling him a “pathological liar” and “utterly amoral.” Cruz also declined to endorse Trump in his Republican Convention speech.

Press secretary Sean Spicer ignored a question Wednesday about whether the president intended to apologize to Heidi Cruz, saying instead: “I think they’re looking forward to a great dinner.”

“This is a president that’s going to engage with everybody that can help join in proposing ideas and thoughts and opinions on how to move the country forward. So he looks forward to dinner tonight with Senator and Mrs. Cruz as he has with several others,” he said.

Spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders noted the president has been holding meeting after meeting as he tries to sell the health care bill.

“I think there’s outreach to most of Congress,” she said.

Cruz, who met with the president a week after the election, seemed equally willing to bury the hatchet. He told reporters ahead of the dinner that the president had called him several weeks ago and invited him and his family to dinner, and said, “we’re very much looking forward to it.”

“It’s principally a social dinner but I’m sure the conversation will turn to the repeal of Obamacare and I have serious concerns about the House bill as drafted,” Cruz said.

Wildfires set record HUTCHINSON (AP) — A massive grass fire raging in two Kansas counties has set a state record for the biggest involving a single blaze.

Kansas Division of Emergency Management spokeswoman Katie Horner says an estimated 861 square miles of land have been blackened in Comanche and Clark counties as of Wednesday.

The 625 square miles charred in Clark County is about 85 percent of that county’s land.

The previous record came last year, with the Anderson Creek fire consuming 488 square miles in Barber and Comanche counties.

Since Saturday, fires have been reported in 23 Kansas counties, consuming more than 1,000 square miles.

Seniors: Volunteer Continued from A1

these seniors have a ride to appointments and a way to get out of the house gives her a sense of purpose and all the motivation she needs to keep it up.

Catron said though she suffers from COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the transportation service is something she is able to do.

“There’s a lot of people in need,” she said.

Catron said she feels

compelled to reach out to senior citizens living in Garnett, as well.

Catron said she encourages anyone who needs a ride to call her, but makes clear she is not a taxi service.

There are limits to the type of trips she is willing to make.

“Serious rides,” she said. “If someone needs cigarettes for example, I am not willing to do that.”

Any senior needing a ride may contact her at 913-594-1696.

oriented, long-term solutions; cultivating a belief in the importance of equal opportunity for health; harnessing the collective power of leaders, partners and community members; and securing and getting the most out of available resources.

“This is a validation of a decade of work by hundreds of Allen Countians to turn around our community by focusing on health,” Toland said, noting that

over the past 10 years, Allen County has: — Built a new hospital.

— Passed the first rural Tobacco 21 initiative in the state, when Iola passed an ordinance that prohibits the sale of tobacco products to anybody under 21.

— Constructed more than 20 miles of new recreational trails.

— Helped re-establish the Allen County Farmers Market.

— Recruited the Com-

munity Health Center of Southeast Kansas to Iola, adding additional doctors, dentists and a psychiatrist.

— Reducing the uninsured rate in Allen County from 21 percent to 10 percent in two years.

“Everything we have been doing together as a county has been reflected in being named a finalist for this prestigious award,” Toland said.

Police reports

Arrest reported at traffic stop Barry Cline, 60, Iola, was arrested Saturday during a traffic stop in the 1000 block of East Monroe Street for alleged possession of drug paraphernalia.

Vehicle buglaries reported in Iola Iola police officers were notified of a series of vehicle burglaries in recent days.

Christina Dryden told Iola police officers Monday somebody stole her purse from her vehicle while it was parked in the 300 block of McGuire Drive.

On Friday, Bayleigh Weide told officers somebody broke into her vehicle while it was parked in the 800 block of North Jefferson Avenue; James Tholen said his vehicle was burglarized in the 900 block of North Chestnut Street.

Kady Kratzberg said her vehicle, in the 900 block of North Walnut Street, was entered.

Citation issued Dakota Wynn was cited for allegedly operating a vehicle without an ignition interlock device in the 100 block of North State Street Sunday.

Theft reported Cody Tice, Dawsonville, Ga., told police officers, Friday, several items belonging to him were stolen from 805 E. Garfield St.

Vehicle damaged David Cavazos told Iola police, Friday, his 2016 Volkswagen was damaged while it was parked in the 200 block of South Buckeye Street. The damage occurred sometime in the past two weeks, he said.

LaHarpe: City Hall debate Continued from A1

cause the $25,000 bill included LaHarpe’s lift stations.

In any sense, Crowell suggested — and Council members agreed — to reach out in the form of a community survey to find out whether LaHarpe residents want to stay.

“It’s their tax dollars,” Crowell said.

COUNCIL members expressed gratitude for the work put in by Westar crews following Monday evening’s storms that toppled an electric substation two miles south of town.

The substation feeds power to LaHarpe.

Crews finished a temporary fix Tuesday night, restoring power almost exactly 24 hours after the storm hit.

“I want to thank them for all they did,” Crowell said. “It could have taken a whole lot longer.”

Council members

also lauded volunteers with the LaHarpe Rural Fire Department, who worked late Monday night to clear downed trees and limbs from along Minnesota Road and other thoroughfares.

COUNCIL members voted to apply for a $25,000 grant from the Community Health Foundation of Greater Kansas City.

If successful, the grant would pay for exercise equipment, a new security system and one year’s salary for a program coordinator to convert City Hall into a wellness center.

The effort is being spearheaded by Harry Lee Jr., who called City Hall “under-utilized.”

The dream is to open City Hall for a number of activities, from line dancing, morning walking or whatever the city would support, and to serve as a meeting spot for health care officials

to meet with local residents in need of chronic health issues, such as smoking cessation or obesity.

The center would be similar to what’s about to open in Moran, added Ben Alexander, deputy director of Thrive Allen County.

Thrive is assisting the city with the grant application.

The grant would be good for one year.

The application is due April 5. The city should learn whether it was successful, Alexander said, by the end of May. COUNCIL members scheduled a May 10 condemnation hearing for houses at 1102 and 1404 S. Washington St. and 1413 S. Broadway St. All three have fallen into various stages of disrepair, said Dustin Huff, the city’s code enforcement officer, and all three have received multiple notices in the past.

Racing:

‘The Hummer’ joins NASCAR’s Whelen Series

Girls High School Basketball: Nemaha Central 47, Humboldt 37

The following is a Press Release from NASCAR: The track that helped launch Clint Bowyer’s fourwheel racing career will join the NASCAR Whelen AllAmerican Series for the 2017 season.

Humboldt Speedway, a .387mile D-shaped high-banked clay oval, will kick off its NASCAR action this weekend with the Battle At The Bullring. The track, which sits less than two hours south of Kansas City, draws more than 130 cars from 13 different states as well as Canada for its B-Mods Division main event of the weekend.

“We are very excited about this weekend and the start of our relationship with NASCAR,” said track owner Ryan Whitworth.

“We provide a familyfriendly, act i o n - p a cke d program on Friday nights and look forward to extending the benefits of being a NASCAR track to our competitors.

It’s a big show to kick off the season for us and having NASCAR as part of it takes it to another level.”

“Ryan and Rhenda Whitworth operate a first-class facility and we’re proud to have them join the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series,” said Kevin Nevalainen, NASCAR director of weekly racing. “Humboldt Speedway is an exciting place to watch a race, and it’s always great to welcome another dirt track to the program.”

The track is two and a half hours north of Salina Highbanks Speedway in Pryor, Okla., giving competitors in the region a pair of tracks to run on a weekly basis for NASCAR Whelen All-American Series points. Drivers at Humboldt will also compete for track championships, as well as the first Kansas title in NASCAR history.

The McCarthy Auto Group Modifieds will be the track’s Division I and will take the green flag for the track’s NASCAR-sanctioned racing with a 20-lap feature on Saturday.

While the 25-car, 50-lap A Main for the B Modifieds Saturday will be an open show, the Rays Metal Depot B-Mods will be the track’s Division II for the season, with Pitt Steel Stock Cars as the Division III. The track was built in 1976

by Dale and Deana Hobart, and operated as D&D Speedway with Wednesday shows until 1987. The facility changed hands a couple of times before the Whitworths purchased it in 1990. The Modifieds have been the top division since 1992 at the facility, which is nicknamed “Hummer.”

Bowyer, an eight-time winner in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series, was the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series national runnerup in 2002. He converted from motocross to stock cars in 1996 and began racing in the street stock division on dirt tracks in Kansas.

In addition to the Battle At the Bullring, the track hosts the King of America Race on March 23-25 for its Modified Division, and attracts more than 110 cars from all over the country.

JUST SHORT Cubs’ journey ends at state after Thunder rally for win

By JON DYKSTRA The Iola Register

HUTCHINSON — As they have all season, the Cubs fought valiantly, but for only the third time all season, that fight wasn’t rewarded with a victory.

Humboldt was eliminated from the 3A State Tournament on Wednesday in Hutchinson by Nemaha Central,

47-37.

After a back-and-forth first quarter found the Cubs trailing 11-7, Humboldt caught fire in the second quarter. They were able to up the tempo against a bigger Thunder squad and force several steals which led to easy baskets for Humboldt and fouls for the Thunder.

Boys High School Basketball: Three Rivers All-League Teams

King, Hermreck earn 1st-Team All-League

By JON DYKSTRA The Iola Register

Crest sophomore Hayden Hermreck gets his shot off over the defense of Erie senior Dylan Richwine during a game in the Humboldt Tournament earlier this season in the Humboldt Fieldhouse. REGISTER/JON DYKSTRA

The future continues to only look brighter for a pair of area schools in the Three Rivers League.

Yates Center and Crest each saw a sophomore earn First Team All-League honors this season.

For Crest, Hayden Hermreck earned the recognition by averaging 17.6 points a night and proved himself to be one of the top tough-shot makers in the area. Hermreck became a known commodity very quickly because of a blistering hot start to the season and was every defense’s top priority for the remainder of the year.

Yates Center’s Aaron King was about as much of a lock for first team as anyone can be.

The Wildcats’ Swiss Army knife took the Three Rivers League by storm with his ability to beat teams from either the inside or out.

King averaged 21.9 points per game this season and hit

43 percent of his 93 threepoint attempts while leading the Wildcats to a 19-4 record in their first season in the Three Rivers.

King also led his team in both rebounding and steals while finishing second in assists and third in blocks.

The Wildcats also placed players on the second team and honorable mention list.

Junior Jordan Smith earned a spot on the second team by scoring 8.7 points per game and shooting 41 percent from three-point land.

Smith was second on the team in steals with nearly two a game and third in assists.

Josh King, a junior and Aaron’s older brother, provided the inside presence for Yates Center while his brother and Smith did most of their damage from outside. That earned him an honorable mention nod. King averaged 5.7 points and 4.4 rebounds per game.

Marmaton Valley junior point guard Justice Pugh also was an honorable mention selection as he led Marmaton Valley in scoring.

Justin Kirk

OF “APB” ON FOX

called the Children’s Theatre Company.

So yeah, I wanted to do it for whatever reason from an early age and I’m still trying to figure out why (laughs). Now I know why.

I couldn’t tell you what it was initially, what the initial instinct was, I really can’t. I remember events happening as I got into my teen years and seeing a thing or seeing a show or acting and being profoundly affected by that but that was after I had already wanted to do it. I was by no means a “look at me” child. I didn’t put on shows in the living room or anything. Actually, my mother describes me as a stoic young person.

At what point did you realize you could make a living from acting?

How did you become interested in acting?

You know to this day, I’m not certain.

My first play (at age 7), my mother’s husband at that time was a student at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington. And for whatever reason, I wanted to be an actor at that point, so I did that. I ended up going to a school in Minneapolis at a theater company

I would have done it no matter if I had ended up sitting here talking to you ... . I think probably when I was a teen I thought maybe I’d go be in a rep company somewhere in the Midwest and do theater. And to this day, I still have a sense of it as being something you do as a life, as a journeyman, and you go from job to job and sometimes it’s going well and sometimes they’re paying you well and sometimes you like the piece of text you’re doing more than others. And they don’t always correlate in terms of the payment and how much you love the work. But I’ve been pretty lucky. I’ve been in some cool things so I feel very fortunate.

Colonoscopy can come with excess pressure Dear Dr. Roach: I have a question about a recent colonoscopy procedure I had. The procedure was the second I’ve had, the first being when I was 50 (I’m now 60). I woke up this time with a lot of chest pressure, and felt like I was having heart pains. I had a heart attack in 2008, so I know the symptoms. My chest felt “solid.”

The nurse said it was just air and that it would release after a while. She said I should go home and lie down. I was uncomfortable with her answer, but after

procedure? — M.H.

To Your Good Health about four hours and a lot of “releasing,” the discomfort subsided.

I understand that the procedure requires air to be used for the examination, but I don’t remember having that discomfort when I had the procedure the first time. Should the doctor have done something to release the air after the

Answer: During a colonoscopy, the bowel is filled with gas, usually air, so the lining can be examined for polyps or other abnormalities. In a colonoscopy, up to 17 liters of air is pumped in (this is about as much as in a 1-foot balloon). All of that air can cause discomfort, and this is a major reason why most people receive sedation for a colonoscopy. When the scope is withdrawn, the physician will try to remove the air, but, as you

have found, that process is imperfect. The air needs to be expelled (I could use a rude term here) by the patient.

Many experts recommend using carbon dioxide instead of air. CO2 is easily absorbed by the gut and exhaled by the lungs. Several studies have shown that patients using CO2 instead of air experience less discomfort, but most endoscopists have not started using it. It is not particularly expensive, but it does require extra equipment. I hope more adopt the use of CO2.

Comparing motherhood experiences can be dicey Hi, Carolyn: I became pregnant at a young age, unplanned, and have been married and raising my child since. My friend traveled the more traditional route, dating, finishing college and marrying before having children, which took some extraordinary effort; think many trips to fertility doctors and all that might entail.

Now, when children are the topic of our conversation and natural comparisons start taking place — mine started walking at this age, mine got his first tooth at this many months, etc. — the distinct tone of her comment is that she cherishes these milestones so much more than I do because I got pregnant “accidentally,” whereas she had to work hard at it.

I think I can imagine the anguish and stress that serious infertility issues or even just not getting pregnant as soon as

Tell Me About It Carolyn Hax

you thought you would might cause. The thing is, once the baby is here, however he got here, his mother is going to love him as if he is the most special baby that ever was, right?

How do I either get over or address my friend’s slight when she implies or outright says that her baby is more precious than mine because of all the trouble she went through to have her and I had my baby “with no trouble at all”? — Precious-er Child?

Precious-er Child?: You probably can’t imagine, actually, the anguish and stress that serious infertility issues might cause. Good intentions

notwithstanding.

That doesn’t change the fact that your friend’s comparisons are howlers, but it does slide the starting point of the problem a little closer to you.

You’re both in minevs.-yours mode, both comparing where supporting would feel a lot better, both measuring yourselves relative to what you imagine others to be.

The answer isn’t to stop her from diminishing your child or childconceiving experience, but to stop pitching in to this competition, period.

Loaded comparisons of when your kids got teeth?

I’ll grant that it’s “natural,” but that’s not the same as being inevitable.

The same applies to defensiveness, which permeates your question. She implies that she “cherishes these milestones so much more than I do,” which is not the same thing as declar-

ing her child as more precious. It’s saying she feels more aware.

Which, again, is icky for being a mine-beatsyours comparison.

But what if, instead of taking offense, you took it as a conversation starter?

“If you’re saying infertility made you more mindful, where you might have taken aspects of motherhood for granted, then I’m sure that’s true. But comparing your experience to others’ — like mine — is dicey. You can’t know how other moms feel.” As in, grant her the emotional point as it pertains to her, and warn her off judging other moms.

You’re friends. You love your kids. You both stared down distinct challenges to get where you are now. Validate her in a way that doesn’t take a chunk out of you.

Cubs: Nemaha Central eliminates Humboldt in quarterfinals Continued from B1

ter on a 11-2 run and took an 18-15 lead into intermission. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That second quarter, we made sure that we were boxing out and we followed our scouting report,â&#x20AC;? Humboldt coach Aubrey Jones said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were doing all the little things right and those always add up to the big things.â&#x20AC;?

To add to the positives for the Cubs, senior forward Annalise Whitcomb had completely outplayed Nemaha Central leadingscorer Laura Macke in the first half. Whitcomb had eight points and was all over the floor creating opportunities for her teammates, meanwhile, Macke had six points, but seemed flustered by the speed with which the Cubs were playing.

Humboldt senior Makaylah McCall had been limited to just two points in the first half, so it seemed that if the Cubs could get their star going in the second half then nothing could stop them.

McCall did get herself going in the third quarter, but so did the entire Thunder offense.

The Thunder opened the half on an 11-0 run and grabbed the lead.

McCall battled back with nine points in the quarter and scored on a layup late in the third to get the Cubs to 33-29.

Unfortunately, the Nemaha Central inside duo of Kaley Dalinghaus and Macke was just too much for the Cubs, who were giving up several inches to both players.

The Thunder scored 20 points in the third quarter and their post duo accounted for 17 of those points.

Meanwhile, despite McCallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nine, the Cubs had

Humboldt senior Makaylah McCall drives baseline against Nemaha Central in Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s State Quarterfinals in Hutchinson. REGISTER/JON DYKSTRA only 11 total points in the third. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the second half, we got away from our scouting report and we started forcing stuff,â&#x20AC;? Jones said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t handling the press properly and we got away from our game plan and then it got to the point it was a bit of a landslide and we went into panic mode.â&#x20AC;?

Despite that tough quarter, the Cubs remained within six points entering the fourth quarter, but things quickly took a turn for the worse.

On the first possession of the quarter, a tipped ball hit McCallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hand awkwardly and she gripped her fingers in apparent pain.

Then after the Thunder scored on the next possession, sophomore

Aricah McCall limped to the bench with an apparent injury. Only moments later senior guard Tilar Wells was taken to the locker room for the second time in the game and when she re-emerged, her wrist was heavily taped. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got tough kids and that type of stuff doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t affect them,â&#x20AC;?

Jones said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is just one more thing that they know they can play through.â&#x20AC;?

Meanwhile, Nemaha Central built the lead to 10 and seemed unstoppable on the inside. But in typical fashion for the Cubs, they fought back.

Makaylah McCall hit the front end of a one-and-one, and when she missed the sec-

ond, junior Rylan Wilhite grabbed the rebound and quickly dished it to Aricah McCall for an easy basket.

Makaylah McCall â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who finished with a teamhigh 14 points â&#x20AC;&#x201D; hit a pair of free throws on the next possession to get within five points.

Macke scored on the other end, but Wilhite answered with a three from the right corner to get the Cubs within four points with just under four minutes left.

Unfortunately, those were the last points the Cubs would score.

Nemaha Central took the air out of the ball and began to play their ballpossession offense, which eventually led to easy scores inside for Dalinghaus and Macke when the Cubs became desperate and sold out for steals.

The Thunder ended the game on a 6-0 run to seal the 10-point victory.

Macke finished with 23 points while Dalinghaus had 16.

The game was the final one for Humboldt seniors Cara Bartlett, Makaylah McCall, Wells and Whitcomb, who earned the right to finish their careers at the state tournament.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t replace that group,â&#x20AC;? Jones said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are tough, hard-nosed kids and they have fought and clawed and worked with

me since I got here to try and build this program back up from the ground.

All the credit goes to those four kids.â&#x20AC;?
