STATE

Hitting the ‘reset button’ on Medicaid

FROSTED FRAMES IN ALLEN COUNTY

By JIM MCLEAN KHI News Service

TOPEKA — The Kansas Hospital Association has hired former U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt to help craft a Medicaid expansion plan that Gov. Sam Brownback and Republican legislators might support. Tom Bell, KHA’s president and CEO, said he hopes that Leavitt — a former Republican governor of Utah who headed HHS under former President George Tom Bell W. Bush — can help Kansas policymakers craft a plan similar to those developed in Arkansas and Iowa, which expand Medicaid through the use of private insurance companies. “We ought to as a state be having a conversation about whether we can come up with a plan like that and the reality is that conversation just hasn’t happened yet,” Bell said. Bell said Leavitt has agreed to help promote discussion among legislators and those in the health care industry about expanding Medicaid, which in Kansas is called KanCare.

NOW WE’RE COOKIN’ Jackson shares tradition from a Californian perspective

IOLA CITY COUNCIL

By SUSAN LYNN The Iola Register

During the holidays, Elyssa Jackson turns to her native roots when it comes to cooking. Jackson, 25, is a third-generation Californian who has lived in Iola a little more than a year. She came here by way of a position with the Allen County Historical Society, which she has since lost. Now, she works a combination of three jobs, Elyssa Jackson including as interim director of the Christian education program with First Presbyterian Church, as a barista at Around the Corner coffee shop, and as an instructor with SAFE BASE, the Iola school district’s after-school program. “I like all three jobs” she said, “but my goal is to use my degree.” Jackson has a degree in art history from the University of California at Santa Barbara and is working toward her master’s in museum studies through San Francisco State.

City council tables EMS rent debate

By BOB JOHNSON The Iola Register

Iola council members Monday night tabled until the new year efforts to resolve whether to pay rent to have access to Allen County’s ambulance station in the 400 block of North State Street. Council members, and city staff, think an agreement to merge Allen County and Iola ambulance services should make the building rent-free. County commissioners think otherwise, and requested rent of $250 a month. Corey Schinstock, assistant city administrator, pointed to a paragraph in the merger agreement in a discussion with the Register Thursday. To wit: “. . . County shall transfer possession but not title to all county EMS service vehicles, equipment and buildings listed in Exhibit ‘A’ to City.” “That seems pretty clear,” Schinstock said, although, he added, no exhibit A has been added to the agreement, but that “the county

ambulance station is the only county building involved.” County commissioners have maintained that because the building wasn’t specifically included in the agreement, as part of the socalled exhibit A, the city has no right to use it without the commissioners’ blessings, and, as it unfolded at their behest, rent of $250 a month. “The way it stands right now, we’re going to wait until after the first of the year and have Bob (Johnson, city attorney) and Ryan (Sell, EMS director) work it out with the county,” Schinstock said. In any case, he said how use of the building shakes out won’t have an effect on the agreement that merged the two ambulance services. The city wants to incorporate the building as a place for storage, some office activities and as a training facility. It became a need when Iola’s fire station was reconfigured to make room for female ambulance personnel. “We don’t want males and females sleeping in the same See RENT | Page A6

Cookin’: Jackson shows off Continued from A1

“I have yet to write my thesis,” she said, adding she has a couple of years before it must be completed. As for her undergraduate degree, Jackson said art history is “a way to be involved with art without having to have talent.” Jackson has ties to Iola. She is the niece of Steve and Jeannie Weide, and as a child her family occasionally came this way to attend family reunions. “The last time we came was in July 2012. It had been 17 years since I’d been to Iola,” she said. “I liked it.” This fall, her longtime boyfriend, Chris Stevens, joined Elyssa. He works in customer service for Sonic Equipment. Stevens is also a native of California, and recently graduated from with a degree in business administration. Jackson said he, too, finds Iola a good place to live. Jackson was raised in Lancaster, Calif., about 70 miles northeast of Los Angeles out in the Mojave Desert. “We occasionally had snow,” she said of the climate there. “But if there was enough to stick to the ground they canceled school. The main concern of any kind of noticeable precipitation

is that it would cause flooding.” Her father had a career in the military and the family moved frequently. They lived in Fort Riley from 1991 to 1995. Today he serves as a counselor for the Veterans Affairs in Oregon, working with soldiers who suffer post traumatic stress disorder. Her mother is a paraprofessional in the local school district in Oregon. As a child growing up, Jackson said cooking was a family affair. Elyssa and her two siblings, a brother and sister, learned how to cook basic food — fried chicken and meatloaf — from their dad. Mexican food was also typical fare. “Our town had a big Hispanic population,” she said. For Jackson, cooking is relaxing. “It comforts me,” she said. On Tuesday she assembled a tortilla casserole with no use of a recipe. “Sometimes I consult a cookbook, but oftentimes I don’t find it necessary,” she said. “But for my grandmother’s Red Velvet Cake, I follow her recipe to a T.” Jackson has a few tricks of the trade to making her casserole a success. “I like to have lots of layers to ensure the in-

Reset: For Medicaid Continued from A1 “He (Leavitt) would be willing to personally come into the state and sit down with policymakers and others and talk about what he sees happening in other states and talk about it from his perspective as a former HHS secretary and as a former governor,” Bell said. The Iowa Medicaid expansion plan — which was approved earlier this month by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services — uses federal dollars to finance the purchase of private health insurance for low income people made eligible for Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. Iowans above the poverty line — those making more than $11,490 a year — will pay a small portion of their insurance premiums. Those below the line will pay nothing. The federal government initially will cover the cost of their coverage. Over time, about 10 percent of that cost will be transferred to Iowa taxpayers in keeping with the provisions of the health reform law. Kansas hospitals will miss out on an estimated $66 million that they would have received in 2014 had the state decided to participate in the first year of expansion, Bell said. “Beginning in 2014 we will, in effect, be sending some of our tax dollars to states that have expanded Medicaid,” he said. Kansas currently has some of the nation’s strictest Medicaid eligibility standards. Adults with no children are not eligible for Medicaid no matter how poor they are. Adults with children are eligible but only if they earn less than 32 percent of poverty, about $630 a month for a three-person household. The Kansas Health

Institute, the parent organization of the KHI News service, estimates that expansion would make approximately 85,300 currently uninsured Kansans eligible for Medicaid. Gov. Sam Brownback hasn’t closed the door on Medicaid expansion, but neither has he given any indication that he is prepared to move forward with it. During an interview broadcast on Sunday by WIBW television, the governor said he was waiting to see how flexible the federal government was willing to be with states.

Opinion A5 The Iola Register

Keeping informed is what keeps us in the running

Wyanonally said, on the

Over the Christmas holidays, my sons were in town. Aaron lives in New York City, attending Union Theological Seminary. Tim is in Kansas City, where he teaches high school English. Both continue to read the Register, in part as a homage to family, for sure, but also because they like to keep in touch with their hometown. I suspect the Register habit is also part of the reason both toss around the idea of returning to these parts one day. Both said they are inspired about Iola and its changes, including the new rail trail to Humboldt, the new hospital, the new area around the soccer fields, the new restaurants, and the new coffee shop. They also relish the quiet and open spaces of Iola and how it affords simple pleasures, like seeing the stars at night. “Iola is a really good small town,” Aaron said. “I wonder if there’s a role here for me some day.” My dad, especially, was a good role model of how to have a very good and rewarding life by living in a small town. No doubt he had the talents to be a success in a bigger arena. When he graduated from the University of Chicago with a degree in political science he had his sights set on the Foreign Service. Heck, maybe he’d be an ambassador one day. He wouldn’t say, “Life got in the way,” by returning to Iola. Rather, his priorities changed, especially when a wife and children came into the picture. To his dying day he was grateful for the opportunities afforded him at the Register and what he could do for his community. He never once felt his talents were wasted in this small corner of the world. Instead, he would contend he had more opportunities to make a difference to the world here, rather than on a more populous

Susan Lynn Register editor scene. NEWSPAPERS have traveled to the edge of the abyss and back because of the Internet. It scared us to death, thinking people would prefer Google news to that of their community. So we quickly developed a web product to make sure we had an online presence. Today, you can get the full edition of the Register at the click of a mouse for $10 a month. The recession of 2008 also hit our readership hard, from which we’re slowly recovering. For some, every penny counts and we understand how news of your community doesn’t put food on the table. And yet, it is the news — about us, our children, our elected officials, our schools, our places of work and worship — that keeps us thriving as a community. Because we are wellinformed, we are a progressive community. We support initiatives such as to build a new hospital, to extend a rail trail, to start an anti-poverty program, to purchase playground equipment for special needs children, and to keep the shelves in our food pantry stocked. Our mission at the Register is to strengthen our community by telling the news of local events accurately and completely as well as calling attention to special accomplishments of its citizens, young and old, rich and poor. It’s this goal that continues to gives us a purpose, as worthy as any big city publication. Thanks for your patronage.

Today in history The Associated Press Today is Friday, Dec. 27, the 361st day of 2013. There are four days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Dec. 27, 1927, the musical play “Show Boat,” with music by Jerome Kern and libretto by Oscar Hammerstein II, opened at the Ziegfeld Theater in New York. In 1831, naturalist Charles Darwin set out on a round-the-world voyage aboard the HMS Beagle. In 1904, James Barrie’s play “Peter Pan: The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up” opened at the Duke of York’s Theater in London. In 1932, New York City’s Radio City Music Hall opened to the public in midtown Manhattan. In 1945, 28 nations signed an agreement creating the World Bank. In 1947, the original version of the puppet character Howdy Doody made its TV debut on NBC’s “Puppet Playhouse.” In 1949, Queen Juliana of the Netherlands signed an act recognizing Indonesia’s sovereignty after more than three centuries of Dutch rule.

In 1968, Apollo 8 and its three astronauts made a safe, nighttime splashdown in the Pacific. In 1970, the musical play “Hello, Dolly!” closed on Broadway after a run of 2,844 performances. In 1979, Soviet forces seized control of Afghanistan. President Hafizullah Amin, who was overthrown and executed, was replaced by Babrak Karmal. In 1985, Palestinian guerrillas opened fire inside the Rome and Vienna airports; 19 were killed, plus four attackers who were slain by police and security personnel. American naturalist Dian Fossey, 53, who had studied gorillas in the wild in Rwanda, was found hacked to death. In 2007, opposition leader Benazir Bhutto was assassinated during a suicide bomb attack in Pakistan following a campaign rally. Thought for Today: “Everybody gets so much information all day long that they lose their common sense.” — Gertrude Stein, American author (1874-1946).

Advocating for vulnerable Kansans In this season of good will, it is fitting to recognize a Kansan who engages in state politics by serving as a champion in behalf of our state’s most vulnerable residents. That person is Tom Laing who over the past 20 years has been a constant and tenacious advocate for the rights of people with disabilities.

Ed Flentje Insight Kansas Officially, Laing is the executive director of InterHab, a statewide association of community organizations that serve individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities. He has guided the association by placing its focus on expanding individual choice for disabled Kansans in education and employment and assuring their right to live independently in the community. Laing’s focus and impact on state policy are nowhere more apparent than in the enactment of the Kansas Developmental Disabilities Reform Act of 1995. The Act emphasized the individual rights of the disabled and initiated a state-local partnership in the delivery of community services through nonprofit and for-profit agencies throughout the state. Since 1995 Laing has faced off each year with governors and state lawmakers, both Republicans and Democrats, to advocate for adequate funding to implement the Act. Today, 8,600 Kansans with developmental disabilities are being served through a statewide network of community-based organizations, rather than

When it comes to saying what needs to be said about the needs of Kansans with disabilities, I don’t think Tom (Laing) spends much time worrying about who might be offended by the truth. — Colin McKenney, CEO of Starkey, a Wichita-area provider of services to the disabled

through expensive, unwieldy state institutions where thousands of people were segregated in prior decades. Laing leads by speaking truth to power. In the words of Colin McKenney, CEO of Starkey, a Wichita-area provider of services to the disabled: “When it comes to saying what needs to be said about the needs of Kansans with disabilities, I don’t think Tom spends much time worrying about who might be offended by the truth.” Still, not all who seek services are being served. Over 4,600 eligible people remain on a wait list for services and are at the top of Laing’s agenda. Laing’s most recent battle on behalf of disabled residents has been to carve their services out from under KanCare, Governor Sam Brownback’s plan to have the state Medicaid program managed by three for-profit, out-of-state insurance companies (termed “managed care organizations” or MCOs). Laing has been in the forefront of challenging Brownback’s insistence that services to Kansans with developmental disabilities be wrapped under KanCare and managed by MCOs, even though no other state has attempted what Brownback proposes. In the 2012 legislative session, along with other advocates, Laing persuaded state lawmakers to reject the governor’s recommendation and defer coverage for these disabled for one year, to Jan. 1, 2014.

MCO missteps in implementing KanCare have strengthened the resolve of Laing and his allies to again square off against the Brownback administration and resist covering these disabled through KanCare. Delayed payments to providers, redtape in managing claims, and unqualified MCO staff, among other issues, have plagued the performance of KanCare throughout the year. Further, the Brownback administration has failed to secure final approval of federal officials to include people with developmental disabilities under KanCare. So, in the waning days of December, hours before the next deadline, Laing once more has taken the lead in advocating for disabled Kansans. Undeterred by fears of political retribution, he along with supporters have showered federal officials with commentary that KanCare is not an appropriate vehicle for managing long-term services for the disabled. National advocates have added their support as well. As 2013 comes to a close, Tom Laing may again be found at work in the trenches on behalf of our state’s most vulnerable citizens. He walks among a group of extraordinary Kansans who have made Kansas a better place to live for all our citizens. Flentje is a professor at Wichita State University. His adult stepson Ryan has Down syndrome and benefits from the advocacy of Tom Laing.

City crews come to the rescue Last weekend, city crews once again proved their value when water began leaking from a 12-inch main along North Kentucky Street near Strickler Dairy. Iola Water Department’s repair crew was called and started repairs shortly after 5:30 Saturday afternoon. The crew worked through most of the night, finishing up about 4:30 Sunday morning. The culprit was a crack in the line that required about 14 feet of the pipe to be replaced. For a gang well versed in such procedures, the job wasn’t a monumental chore. The weather had a role, though. When repairs began, the temperature was well below freezing and by the time all was done, it had dropped to 20 degrees. Working in a trench filled with water and mud, no amount of clothing, boots and

At Week’s End Bob Johnson gloves are enough to keep a body warm. But, as always is the case, the crew persevered. Meanwhile, folks whose homes are fed by water carried by the main were delighted to awaken Sunday and find that showers and faucets worked. Such events are lost on folks except those they directly affect, but point out for the umpteenth time why it is important to have local utilities and responsiveness within the city. The same is true with the Electric Department, as any-

one who has had the misfortune to have had lines downed by storms knows. It’s no fun to sit in the dark and worry about just how long it will be before food starts to thaw in a freezer, or not have the fan kick on to distribute warm or cool air. Enough utility workers are on call during weekends, at night and on holidays to deal with any emergency. While we’re patting backs, let’s not forget about public safety. Law enforcement, fire and ambulance employees never take a break. Personnel is available anytime an emergency occurs. We in Iola and Allen County are blessed in many ways, and a good part of it is because we live in circumstances small enough that those who tend to our needs are friends and neighbors.

The Iola Register

Engagement Shandie Wrench and Peter Smith Shandie Lorene Wrench and Peter Christopher Smith will unite in marriage on March 15, 2014, at Foursquare Church in Parsons. Shandie, Iola, is the daughter of Janice Wrench, Chetopa, and the late Gary Wrench and late Bill Schertz. Peter, Parsons, is the son of Thomas Smith, Parsons, and the late Jerrie Smith.

Shandie is a 2000 graduate from Russell High School. She attended Fort Hays State University until 2002. She plans on attending Allen Community College in the fall for business administration. She is the asset protection manager for Walmart. Peter is a 1999 graduate from Labette County High School, Altamont. He is currently attending Pittsburg State University.

Rent: Still debating EMS building Continued from A1

room,” City Administrator Carl Slaugh told county commissioners earlier this month. Schinstock said contracts for free use of buildings in Humboldt and Moran were close to being completed. That has been the case for years with countywide ambulance service, first when it was a cooperative effort of Iola and Allen County, and more recently with the county operating ambulances outside Iola. Personnel of the two former services have been working together since early December, and from all appearances there will be a seamless transition when Iola takes full control of all county EMS on Jan. 1, Schinstock said.

COUNCIL members

were told that county commissioners were expected to decide whether to sign off on the city’s proposal to put all of Iola into the Neighborhood Revitalization Plan, except public property. To date the zone has included mainly older sections of town. The NRP provides for tax abatements of 100 percent, save 5 percent remained by the county for administration, for six years, with taxes returning by 20 percent a year after that. New construction and improvements of $5,000 or more are affected. Several questions surfaced when Slaugh discussed the NRP’s expansion with county commissioners.

In answer, he wrote: — Expanding the area may spur development that otherwise might be put off without abatements. — Abatements do not reduce existing property tax assessment, only delay the tax on improvements. “It is an additional burden to maintain citywide infrastructure over the 10-year period of abatement,” Slaugh allowed. But, “the hope is to gain more development in the long run that may not otherwise take place.” He also noted that sales tax collections — with a new business — are not affected, nor are utility sales. IN OTHER NEWS, council members: — Designated Great

Southern Bank as the city’s official bank for 2014, and made the Register its official newspaper. — Approved issuance of license plates, at $50 each, for slowmoving vehicles that use city streets. Schinstock described the vehicles as “glorified golf carts.” They must have lights front and back, including those that come on with stops, parking brakes, windshields, and seatbelts. — Were told by their auditors that the city must redeem for cash shares of Exxon and Union Pacific Railroad that were given to the city about 10 years. Dividends have benefited the Tree Board, which will receive revenue from sale of the stock.

Gregory Roberts, left, and Mickey Hicks

Gingerbread builders win The judges results are in and the winners of the 2013 Gingerbread Walk are Mickey Hicks, Iola, and Gregory Roberts, Liberty Mo. This is the first year that Hicks and her son Roberts, entered a creation into the walk. “We have always made one around Christmas time at our house,” Hicks said. The two were looking for a challenge this year

and decided to tackle the Woodson County courthouse. Hicks used to be the postmaster in Yates Center. They took photos of the courthouse and Roberts drew out the pattern. “It took us three days to complete,” Roberts said. Second place went to Cindy Chalker and third place was earned by Barbara Chalker Anderson.

Brakes on Death Valley races By JOHN ROGERS Associated Press

LOS ANGELES (AP) — It’s the hottest, hardest, most grueling foot race in the world, says Shannon FararGriefer, who has run the Badwater 135 ultramarathon through Death Valley five times. That’s exactly why she keeps coming back, she says, and why every ultrarunner has it on their bucket list. The race takes the bravest of runners 135 miles through the hottest place on Earth in the middle of the summer. Next year, for the first time in 37 years, runners won’t be

able to tackle the Badwater 135. Death Valley National Park recently put a moratorium on foot and cycling races through the desert hot spot 200 miles east of Los Angeles while they study ways to make the events safer. “We’re devastated,” said Farar-Griefer, who is the first woman to conquer the race route back to back. That entails running 135 miles from Badwater Basin in Death Valley to near the top of Mount Whitney, then turning around and running back to the starting line. “It’s like taking Wimbledon away from a tennis player,” she said Monday night as word spread among the

running community that the race would have to make a detour through a less challenging environment next year. The safety study should be done by the spring, and running and cycling events could resume as early as next October, Death Valley spokeswoman Cheryl Chipman said Monday. But sponsors could be faced with enforcing stricter safety rules when events resume.

The Dallas Mavericks’ Monta Ellis scores on a breakaway layup in the second half against the San Antonio Spurs at the American Airlines Center in Dallas on Thursday. The Spurs won, 116-107. Ron Jenkins/Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Spurs dig in during fourth-quarter rally DALLAS (MCT) — As a longtime football state, Texas doesn’t always showcase the best basketball. But this season, you can make the case that the three NBA teams in Texas are legitimately in the conversation when talking about who should be taken seriously in this league. The Mavericks and San Antonio completed a three-game round robin among the Texas triangle teams on Thursday night. Each time, the road team won, including the Spurs’ 116107 victory at American Airlines Center. Tim Duncan was Mr. Inside, as usual, and the Spurs had a quality Mr. Outside in Danny Green. In between it was Tony Parker with 23 points who paced the Southwest Division leaders. Duncan scored or assisted on nine San Antonio points as the Spurs turned a tight 100-97 game into a 109-103 advantage with under two minutes to go. Though the Mavericks got as close as 110-107, they never got a chance to tie or go ahead the rest of the way as the Spurs showed the sort of grit that has made them one of the NBA’s strongest franchises for

two decades. Hard to believe a night earlier the Spurs were drop-kicked by the Houston Rockets in San Antonio. And just three days earlier, the Mavericks had rocked the Rockets in Houston. Strange days, indeed. The Mavericks (16-13) lost for just the fourth time at home against 11 wins. They played without Brandan Wright, who was out with an illness. They had one decent shot at a rally in the fourth quarter when Dirk Nowitzki nailed a three-pointer and Monta Ellis canned two free throws to make it 100-92, Spurs. Tony Parker got caught in the air with nowhere to go, turned it over and Ellis converted a three-point play. Then Boris Diaw fired a bad pass that Ellis again converted on the fast break for a 12-0 Maverick run that got them within three. That’s when Duncan took charge. He scored three straight times, then when the Mavericks’ defense swarmed him, he hit Green in the corner for a 3-pointer. The Mavericks played hard See VICTORY | Page B2

Army veteran shifts to gridiron By JEFF BARKER The Baltimore Sun

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — For years, war terminology has seeped into football telecasts. Quarterbacks become “field generals,” games are equated to “battles.” Tehuti Miles knows better. After four years in the Army — including a stint in Afghanistan, where he carried an M4 during watch duty — Maryland’s firstyear practice-team running back has earned the right to dismiss the comparison. He knows all too well that the football-as-war metaphor amounts to hype.

“We all know it’s not the same thing,” he says. After leaving the Army last January, Miles could not have imagined what would come next — that he would not only be a member of the Terps, but that his team would be in a bowl game celebrating military service. Today’s Military Bowl matching Maryland (7-5) against Marshall (9-4) at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis is the first bowl game to be held at a service academy. The game, which benefits the United Service Organizations, will feature a flyover of World War II-era B-25 bombers and a giant American flag that

will be spread across the field. And, with Miles, it will also have a veteran on one of the sidelines. “That’s a cool thing,” said Steve Beck, the bowl’s president and executive director. Miles does not volunteer to share his war memories, although he will discuss them if asked. He spoke so softly in a series of recent interviews that media members had to lean forward to hear him. “I do still have those (wartime) experiences,” he said. “I try not to let it bother me. I try to think of other things. The only time it might bothSee VET | Page B3

Donovan ‘very satisfied’ in 18th year as coach SUNRISE, Fla. (MCT) — The number tells a story. Billy Donovan is in his 18th season as head basketball coach at the University of Florida. He’s still only 48 years old, which means he already has spent almost two-fifths of his life leading the Gators. That’s startling. But the names tell an even more astonishing tale. They are the names of Gator football bosses Donovan has seen come and/or go during his tenure. Steve Spurrier has gone. Ron Zook has come and gone. Urban Meyer has come and gone. Will Muschamp has come. “I’m probably more surprised that I’ve been here 18 years,” Donovan said last Saturday after the Gators’ 66-49

win against Fresno State in the Orange Bowl Classic at the BB&T Center. “Steve could have stayed as long as he wanted to, and Urban could have, too. They Billy Donovan made career decisions to make a move. “Florida has been a perfect fit for me.” The Gators have won two NCAA titles — back-to-back in 2006 and ’07 — and reached the championship game another time on Donovan’s watch. They made it to the Elite Eight each of the past three years, and would surprise absolutely nobody by getting at least that far again this season. “There are a lot of vari-

ables,” Donovan said. “There always are. I do think the key for us is to continue to improve defensively.” Donovan long since has turned Florida into the most formidable Southeastern Conference entity outside of Kentucky. As usual, these Gators are cut from standard Donovan cloth, which features experience (four seniors play big roles) and a relentless defense that is the team fabric’s strongest stitching. “I think this was our best defense start to finish all season,” Donovan said after the Gators held the Bulldogs to 32 percent shooting. Maybe a sluggish offensive start should have been expected from the Gators, who held just a 23-19 halftime lead, com-

ing as they were off four highprofile games in succession against Florida State, Connecticut, Kansas and Memphis. “It’s a grind time of the year,” Donovan said. “We’ve traveled a lot. Nobody is on campus with the holidays. It can be difficult.” Donovan even resorted to restarting a recent practice — all the way back to repeating the stretching period — in an attempt to sharpen focus. “He wants us to be great,” said forward Will Yeguete, who had nine points and nine rebounds Saturday. “He pushes us all the time.” And the emphasis on defense is constant. “You can’t control the ball going in or out,” said center Patric Young, who had eight points and eight rebounds,

“but you can always control how hard you play, especially on defense.” And so it goes. This is as good a place as any to remind everyone that Donovan came close to leaving Florida himself after that 2007 national championship. He did, in fact, leave ... for a week. He took the Orlando Magic job, but rescinded the acceptance to return to the Gators’ fold when Athletic Director Jeremy Foley had not yet replaced him. Now, it’s not far-fetched to imagine Donovan staying at UF another couple of decades. It’s not far-fetched to imagine his legacy with the Gators eventually being similar to what Mike Krzyzewski’s is at Duke. Iconic, that is.

Victory: Spurs win 116-107 Continued from B1

and well at times but couldn’t make plays at the end with the game hanging in the balance. Against the Spurs, the Mavericks gave up 58 first-half points and trailed by seven points at the intermission. But the Mavericks had done some good things to that point. Mostly they had gotten DeJuan Blair involved against his former team. Blair had circled this

game a long time ago, and he did not disappoint. He made his first six shots and was a primary reason the Mavericks were hanging tough, down just 72-67 midway through the third quarter. The problem was that they couldn’t make up any more ground. When Green hit his fourth 3-pointer of the night without a miss and Boris Diaw converted a fast break, the Spurs

were up 92-81 with under 10 minutes left and the Mavericks were trying to survive on a night when their 3-point shot wasn’t working and they had trouble keeping Tony Parker out of the paint. “It’s a team responsibility,” he said. “No one guy is going to be able to do it. We got to make sure we’re dialed into that concept because when he gets in there, he’s murder.”

We extend our most sincere thanks. Thank you to our community for supporting us as we continue to care for your loved ones.

MILES, a 23-year-old, acknowledges that he isn’t the same person who enlisted in 2008. “If I’m in a restaurant or something like that, I have to sit where I can see everybody,” said the 5-foot10, 200-pound Miles, who played high school football in Hammonton, N.J., and became interested in military service after attending a cousin’s Air Force base graduation. “I still have flashbacks sometimes. Some people won’t even notice it. I might have it just walking with you somewhere,” Miles said. After leaving the Army, Miles wanted to treat himself and attend school in a warm climate. He looked at Florida colleges, “but I was thinking maybe I should be a little bit closer” to home, he said. After being admitted at Maryland, Miles contacted the Terps’ coaches and asked about the possibility of walking on. Miles isn’t eligible to play in games this season because of questions about whether the high school courses he took met core academic requirements. Maryland won a waiver earlier in the season allowing him to practice, and he has been a member of the scout team that prepares the Terps for coming opponents. He is expected to be cleared to play in games next season. For now, Miles’ nature — his quiet intensity — is revealed on the practice field. “If he’s running with the scout team, he’s going to run,” center Sal Conaboy said. “A lot of guys on defense will get upset with him. He’ll hit you. “You can tell he’s got that toughness to him. He has that drive.”

Regular maintenance can prevent issues Dear Tom and Ray:

When driving down the freeway, I heard a scraping sound, shortly followed by my car slowing down, no matter how hard I pushed on the gas. I barely made it to the service road without getting hit by other traffic. When the tow truck driver came, he noticed green liquid (coolant) leaking out. The mechanic towed the car and said my water pump had frozen, and that broke my timing belt. He said it was the first time he had ever seen it, and he doesn’t know of a way I could have avoided it. I need to know if it was something I did, that I can avoid doing in the future. I am paranoid about the situation and worried that it will happen again. Thanks! — Joanna RAY: It does happen, Joanna. But we like when it happens. For us, it means we won’t have any trouble making our boat payment that month! TOM: You don’t tell us what kind of car you drive, but I’m guessing

Car Talk

Tom and Ray Magliozzi it’s something with a noninterference engine. Cars with interference-style engines get ruined when their timing belts break. It sounds like you were lucky and you avoided that grisly fate; you got off with just an expensive repair and a severe travel disruption! RAY: The vast majority of manufacturers recommend that you change your car’s timing belt after a certain number of miles — 60,000 miles used to be common. Now lots of manufacturers suggest 90,000. TOM: If you don’t change the timing belt, it can break on its own due to age and use. But on almost every car we see, the timing belt also runs the water pump (which circulates coolant in the engine). In other words, the

timing belt goes around a water-pump pulley, and as the belt turns, it makes the water pump’s impeller spin. But if the water pump fails and seizes up, like yours did, it takes the timing belt with it. RAY: So to prevent this in the future, you have to do a better job of maintaining your car, Joanna. TOM: For instance, it’s possible your water pump was failing and you just didn’t notice the horrible growling sound coming from your engine compartment. Or you don’t see a mechanic regularly, so no one else had a chance to notice it. RAY: Or maybe you were a good car owner, and you had your timing belt changed when it was supposed to be, but to save a little money, you or your mechanic didn’t change the water pump at the same time. That’s pennywise and thousand-dollar foolish, in our opinion. TOM: Yeah. We’d never change a customer’s timing belt without chang-

ing the water pump, too, for the very reason that caused you to write to us — that’s what can happen. And then they come back and blame us for it! RAY: Also, we tend to use factory water pumps rather than aftermarket pumps for this repair, because the risks, if the water pump fails, are so severe. TOM: So, how do you prevent this in the future? Get better about your regular maintenance. Find a mechanic you trust (if you don’t already have one, find one at the Mechanics Files at cartalk. com). And take your car in on a regular basis. Even if it’s just for an oiland-filter change every six months, at least someone has a chance to notice when something is going terribly wrong. RAY: And spend a cozy evening curling up with your owner’s manual (that’s the thing that’s still wrapped in cellophane in your glove box). Good luck, Joanna.

Numbness not heart-related problem Dear Dr. Roach: I am 82 years old, and for the past several months, I have been experiencing numbness in the fingers of my left hand. The fingers on my right hand have some numbness, but not to the extent of the left hand. I am concerned that perhaps it might be heart-related, because it is on my left side. — D.D. Answer: Angina pectoris (literally “chest pain”) is the classic sign of poor blood flow (ischemia) to the heart. However, despite its name, the sign usually isn’t pain, and it doesn’t have to be felt in the chest. Most people with ischemia complain of chest discomfort or chest pressure, usually after exertion but sometimes at rest. The discomfort often feels as though it is coming from other locations, including the left arm, but most commonly that is the inside of the left upper arm. Frequently, the sensation is nausea, shortness of breath, abdominal pain, shoulder pain or back pain. Any of these sensations upon exertion is worth a discussion with your doctor, as they can be the most important signs of blockages in the arteries to the heart, which may lead to a heart attack.

park, questioned the need for such a review. He said his organization has held 89 such events there since 1990 without a serious incident. “There have been no deaths, no car crashes, no citations issued, and only a few evacuations by ambulance after literally millions of miles covered on foot or by bike by event participants,” he said in an email to supporters. Chipman said park officials aren’t so concerned about runners and cyclers, who they know arrive prepared to survive the area’s heat and rugged terrain.

But as such events have grown in popularity, she said, participants, their support crews and spectators have begun to jam the park’s narrow two-lane roads, creating a dangerous traffic hazard. “We don’t want to have to wait for an accident to happen to do this safety review,” she said. “We want to be proactive and create the conditions that we think are the safest allowable for these kinds of events.” The race takes its name from its starting point in Badwater Basin, which at 282 feet below sea level is the lowest point in North

America. It continues across a barren, unforgiving desert before it takes runners over three mountain ranges, ending near the top of Mount Whitney, the highest peak in the Lower 48 states. With no Badwater 135 next year, AdventureCorps has scheduled two similar but slightly shorter versions through less grueling environments in California and North Carolina. “But nothing beats running the original route from the bottom of Death Valley to the end of the road on Mount Whitney,” Kostman said.

CUP REWIND: TOP 5 RACES OF 2013

At first glance, it looked like a long, lazy, harmless spin by Clint Bowyer. But a shakedown of the participants, as well as those pesky audio tapes of team communications, painted a different picture of what Bowyer and Waltrip Racing might’ve been doing in the season’s 26th race.

The Answer Man’s keen sniffer does indeed pick up a certain malodorous musk. It involves our recent discussion here regarding Kasey Kahne’s second-place showing in NASCAR’s annual “Most Popular Driver” voting. Junior Earnhardt won, of course, but Kahne’s runner-up finish was an eyebrow-raiser, because he just doesn’t seem like a driver who garners a whole lot of emotion from blocs of fans.

Why the newfound suspicion? This past week, Lionel Racing announced the top-10 die-cast sellers from 2013. Lionel, as the “official diecast maker” of NASCAR, keeps such records, as any consumer-sales operation would. It turns out that Junior had the top three (THREE!) selling die-casts (one each in the colors of his main sponsors, and another with a one-off paint scheme). Nowhere in the top-10 sellers was a Kasey Kahne die-cast.

That settles it? The Answer Man believes no vote is as trustworthy as those votes that are cast with folks’ wallets. If Kahne truly had enough general popularity to be NASCAR’s second-most popular driver, he’d surely have a top-10-selling die-cast. In the end, we have to keep in mind that the annual popularity award is handled by online voting, and Kahne’s runner-up finish indicates a strong get-outthe-vote campaign that had enough momentum to put him immediately in Junior’s draft.
