Iola’s best and brightest bid adieu

By SUSAN LYNN The Iola Register

When a candidate for Miss America says she wants to fight world hunger, it typically invites a universal groan and a roll of the eyes.

But when Clara Wicoff says it, you come away feeling she just might do it.

Wicoff is one of eight valedictorians in the 2016 graduating class of Iola High School.

She first gained headlines as a middle school student when she won the state spelling bee and continued the feat for the next two years.

Wicoff said that intense focus on learning thousands of obscure words taught the youngster how to prepare for events and how to set goals.

Attending the national spelling bee in Washington, D.C. was an eye-opener, she said.

“I enjoyed meeting other youths from across the country. And I met kids who are definitely a lot smarter

Abigail Taylor

Taylor lauds mentors

By SUSAN LYNN The Iola Register

She could not have known it at the time, but ever since she was a child Abigail Taylor has been preparing for success.

It began with her parents, Jen and Ben Taylor, who conscientiously worked to see their home fosters education, faith and love.

With that solid foundation,

Taylor was equipped to soar.

“All my mom asked is that I do my best,” she said.

For Taylor, doing her best has resulted in a perfect grade point average all through high school. She is one of eight valedictorians.

Taylor admits to having an “achievement-driven personality.”

Judge rejects proof of citizenship law

By ROXANA HEGEMAN The Associated Press

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A judge said Tuesday that Kansas can’t require people to show proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote for federal elections at motor vehicle offices.

U.S. District Judge Julie Robinson ruled that the

County steps up for Bowlus

By BOB JOHNSON The Iola Register

Allen County commissioners voted unanimously to make $100,000 a year available for the next three years to help pay operating costs at the Bowlus Fine Arts Center.

The revenue will go toward what USD 257 deemed impossible to pony up, because of cuts in state aid. The school district likely will continue to budget $44,000 a year for use of Bowlus classrooms for art, vocal music and dramarelated classes.

The county’s rescue includes the provision that none of their allotment may be used for attorney fees. The district is in the process of asking a District Court judge to review the will of Thomas H. Bowlus, which provided money for construction of the facility and $1 million in a trust fund to pay ongoing costs. Susan Raines, execuSee BOWLUS | Page A6

Mosquito spraying commences

Election news briefs

The City of Iola will begin its annual campaign to control mosquitoes on Tuesday.

A slow-moving truck carouses about town spraying a mist meant to control their growth.

The city sprays two evenings a week: Tuesdays in the south end

Knox has opponent

of town and Thursdays on the north end. Riverside Park is sprayed both evenings.

The spraying mechanism is calibrated and adjusted by a representative from Van Diest Supply, the company that sells the Mosquitomist product. The prod-

uct’s dispersion depends on the speed of the vehicle in order to maintain a consistent mist. The vehicle travels at 10 mph generally, but if it stops moving the mist will not spray. The mist is not a “fog” but is clear and practically odorless, according to city officials.

Thriller follows escaped slaves “Chasing the North Star” by Robert Morgan is a novel about slaves escaping to freedom. The last straw for 18-year-old Jonah is being whipped for a theft he didn’t commit.

He knows how to read, having been secretly taught by his owner’s wife. When he learns from newspapers that Negroes in the North are free, he runs away.

Jonah survives by pluck and wit, and is joined by another runaway. Angel determines that her best chance at success is to latch onto Jonah, and they continue their difficult journey to freedom together.

Tanya Dubois weighs her options when she finds her husband dead at the bottom of the stairs in “The Passenger” by Lisa Lutz. When she runs and assumes a new identity with the help of a contact who owes her, it becomes clear that this is not the first time she’s changed identities — and it won’t even be the last time in this book. The past she is escaping is gradually revealed. Each chapter, almost every page, features a new revelation or plot twist.

nation. Going back and forth in time from before Houdini’s death to after it, Kelly shows Bess and Harry’s humble beginnings, their deep bond enduring through celebrity, and Bess’s search for proof of Houdini’s afterlife. Houdini became intrigued with spiritualism after his mother’s death, but his knowledge of magic and deception allowed him to debunk every spiritualist he encountered during his life. Nevertheless, he promised Bess that if he could, he would contact her after his death using codes only she would know.

The appearance of one of these codes in a newspaper photograph raises Bess’s hopes.

Financial Focus Talk to Your Adult Children About Smart Financial Moves If you have children who are finishing college or embarking on their first full-time job, you obviously want them to get off to a good start in their adult and working lives. And by virtue of your years of experience, you probably have some good advice to offer – especially when it comes to making smart financial moves.

Of course, you can find a broad array of financial topics to discuss. But if you want to concentrate on just a few, you might consider these for starters: • Investing for the future – When young people are paying off student loans, they may not think they can also afford to invest for the future. Indeed, this can be challenging – but it’s not impossible. So, if your children go to work for an employer that offers a retirement plan, such as a 401(k), you may want to point out that they can have money automatically invested – and since they never really “had” this money in the first place, they are less likely to miss it.

They can start by deferring small amounts; when their earnings rise, they can increase their contributions.

• Buying a home and paying off a mortgage – With interest rates still low, now is not a bad time for prospective first-time homebuyers. Of course, if your children truly are starting out in the working world, it will likely take them a few years to save up enough for a down payment. But even after they reach that goal, you may want to warn them not to become “house poor” by spending a large portion of their total income on home ownership. If they do buy a house, though, and their incomes go up as their careers progress, they may wonder if they should pay down their mortgage quicker. While they might feel good about lowering that debt, you may want to point out that an argument could be made for putting money in assets that will likely be more liquid, such as stocks and bonds. For one thing, if your children were to lose their jobs, and they needed cash to tide them over until they were once again employed, they’d likely find it much harder to get money out of their homes than their investment accounts. Also, in terms of accumulating resources for retirement, they might better off building up their investment portfolios, rather than sinking every extra dollar into their homes.

• Using credit wisely – Urge your children to avoid taking on excessive credit card debt and taking out non-essential loans. As you know, having a good credit score can pay off in several ways, including getting better rates on mortgages. You may want to risk sounding “old fashioned” by encouraging your children to live within their means. And consider pointing out that it’s often the people who are the most frugal today who may end up with the most money tomorrow.

It’s not always easy for young people to get off on the right foot, financially speaking. But as someone who knows a thing or two about controlling debt, saving and investing, you can help your children out by imparting a few words of wisdom.

DARRELL MONFORT, DVM Veterinarian PROFESSIONAL, CARING STAFF

DOC SAYS “RABIES IS HERE!”

RBVS posted a story on our Facebook page a few days ago about a confirmed rabies case in West Plains, Missouri that resulted in 8 dogs being euthanized and 32 people taking the rabies prevention treatment. West Plains is 270 miles from Iola, Kansas and it seemed like “far away.” But then I went looking for the facts of rabies and making some comparisons between Kansas and Missouri, and it is not so far at all.

Kansas has historically had more confirmed cases of rabies than Missouri. The latest figures available from the Center for Disease Control indicate that in 2014 Kansas had 70 confirmed cases of rabies while Missouri had 28 cases. (By the way, this is not a competition that we want to win!) Kansas, in the first quarter of 2016, has had 12 confirmed positive cases of rabies and not all in skunks and bats. There have been 3 cats (one in Allen County), 1 horse and 3 cows, totaling 7 animals that we could expect to be in contact with humans routinely. In 2015 there were 99 confirmed positive animals tested out of 1,180 total submitted. That is a 9% positive rate.

By far the most positive tests were in the expected bat/skunk populations, but of the 99 positive tests, 1 horse, 11 cats and 12 cows were positive.

So, that is a lot of numbers in one paragraph, let’s cut to the chase and interpret them. The first take-away point is that vaccination of domestic animals works. Large portions of the dog population are vaccinated and kept vaccinated. (No dogs on the list in Kansas (knock on wood. Yayy!) More and more horses are being vaccinated. (Rabies can mimic other neurological diseases in horses, like West Nile or the encephalitic viruses. All can be vaccinated for and don’t the little cowboys and cowgirls deserve this protection? When a horse gets sick, we handle and treat it – possible exposure to rabies).

Cat populations remain a problem because while we tend to vaccinate our indoor, pet cats, the feral cat population largely goes unvaccinated. Humans, being soft-hearted, will stop to check on a sick feral cat where we would normally walk by a healthy one¢or not be able to catch it anyway! Rabies hazard here.) If you have a feral cat population, especially near your house or farm, be careful coming to their aid if they look ill. In town call your animal control officer. Do not handle the cat and caution your children about this. If possible, and even if these are “not mine” cats which nevertheless live close to your home or farm, consider asking your vet to borrow the elk-hide gloves, kennel and bring them for a rabies vaccination. Then let us use the elk-hide gloves. We will not necessarily give a big cheer when you bring a feral cat in, but we can all bask in the “good citizen glow” of having slowed down rabies exposure possibilities. If we can get even one dose of rabies vaccination into an animal, we really reduce that animal’s chances of contracting rabies.

The second takeaway from this is that the CDC estimates rabies post-exposure (PEP) treatment of a human is minimally between $3,000 and $10,000. (times 32 in Missouri; I hope they had good insurance). Why worry about this so much? You must have PEP treatment if it is recommended.

To date, the latest figure indicated that only 10 – 12 people who have contracted rabies have survived (ANYWHERE!!), and most have continuing health issues. CDC estimates that worldwide 59,000 people die from rabies due to lack of animal vaccination and PEP treatment every year. We have about licked this problem in the United States. Keep vaccinating the animals in your life.

Now addressing a question from a client – “Why can’t we give rabies vaccine ourselves?.” There is a threefold reason – 1. Vaccine must be stored, handled and given appropriately to work. Education in technique is key. 2. Legally, in the state of Kansas, a licensed veterinarian, or a technician under his/ her supervision, must give the injection (because of the whole education thing). 3. Third-party involvement in the vaccination (especially a third-party who does not want to lose their license or livelihood) shifts liability from the owner of the suspect animal (who among us wants to trust the owner, who loves their pet and says that they vaccinated the pet at home with perfectly stored and handled vaccine, but has no history or proof and nothing to lose by lying to save their pet’s life?).

Without proof of vaccination, the victim has the right to require the animal to be tested, which cannot be done on a living animal (insert sad, distressed, crying emoticon HERE).)

Rabies and rabies vaccination is complicated. Treat the subject with respect, please.

Reservoir dredging termed vital to water supply B U R L I N G T O N, Kan. (AP) — Dredging underway at an east-central Kansas reservoir is being touted as important in ensuring that area’s water supply to customers who include a nuclear power plant.

Gov. Sam Brownback on Tuesday directed the dredging of the John Redmond Reservoir near Burlington to begin. He calls it a significant step in preserving the water resource for future generations.

The Kansas Water Office says that since 1964, the reservoir has lost an estimated 42 percent of

its conservation pool storage capacity, partly through sediment accumulation. That’s 80 percent more than the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers originally projected when it was first

o

construction.

The water office’s director, Tracy Streeter, says the reservoir serves 19 communities, six industrial users and the Wolf Creek nuclear power plant.

Street work planned

By BOB JOHNSON The Iola Register

Sweet harmony Iola Middle School beginning strings band members, from left, Dakota Weide, Page Kress, Breanna Northcutt and Kaylin Klubek, perform with instructor Ben Ballou Tuesday at the IMS Spring Music Concert. Wet weather forced organizers to hold the concert in front of a packed house at the Bowlus Fine Arts Center instead of on the courthouse square, as originally planned. REGISTER/RICHARD LUKEN

Ninth Street, the northsouth thoroughfare in Humboldt, will be milled and overlaid with asphalt in 2017.

Humboldt Administrator Cole Herder asked Allen County commissioners Tuesday when they expected the road to have major maintenance. It’s part of a five-year plan, they said, with Mitch Garner, director of Public Works, saying its upgrade was due next.

“I’m glad it’s not at the end of the five-year plan,” Herder

mused.

The last time the road received county attention was in 2007, then with chip-andseal treatment.

Interest quickened this year when Monarch Cement company began hauling dirt in semis over Ninth Street from north of Humboldt to its plant at the south edge of town.

Herder said he didn’t notice the trucks coming through town until a couple of days after quarrying began around April 1, and had heard no concerns from citizens about the truckers’ driving habits.

tive director, pointed out the trust generates less than $50,000 a year in today’s financial environment.

Raines said she was encouraged by all three commissioners’ — Chairman Jerry Daniels, Tom Williams and Jim Talkington — interest in maximizing the Bowlus’ exposure to school children across Allen and adjoining counties.

Raines said area school districts are involved in the Arts-inEducation Program, which includes professional children’s shows in the Bowlus auditorium attended by all elementary children in the county; the Allen County Young Authors celebration; clinics and workshops for art, music and drama.

Allen Community College also uses Bowlus facilities.

Tony Leavitt, president of the USD 257 Board of Education, was somewhat relieved by the outcome, though, admitting to being a

worrier, said “more needs to be done” to solve financial support of the Bowlus over the long run. “Maybe in six or eight months, maybe a year, we’ll get there.

But we aren’t there yet.”

Superintendent of Schools Jack Koehn agreed, adding districts are uneasy about their situations because the formula for school finance remains in limbo.

Officials are anxiously awaiting a decision by the Kansas Supreme Court as to whether schools across the state are funded in an equitable manner.

But, in the short term, Bowlus funding is on an even keel. With commissioners’ decision to award $100,000, Raines will have a budget of $330,000 for the 2016-17 school year. That is $74,000 less than the year about to conclude, but workable, she said.

Cash carryover, which would increase revenue, won’t be known until books are closed at the end of June.

With school budgets figured on state fiscal periods, the Bowlus’

next budget year starts July 1. The county’s covers calendar years. That means the county, on another motion that found unanimous support, will transfer $25,000 each quarter to Bowlus coffers, starting in July.

The county has contributed $32,000 a year.

Meanwhile, Iola will continue to contribute $29,000 a year, or what is produced by a levy of 1 mill. City Administrator Carl Slaugh shook his head side-to-side when asked if the city was considering an increase.

UNANIMITY on the county’s part seemed assured from the minute Raines began a brief review of the Bowlus budget and what annual contributions of $75,000 or $100,000 would mean.

Talkington suggested a 10 percent set-aside for contingency, after Raines mentioned just $2,500 was budgeted for mechanical maintenance, before withdrawing the consideration.

Williams, who said he read and reread the Bowlus will between

Voting: Registration law tossed Continued from A1

it would appeal. Unless a higher court halts Robinson’s order before the end of the month, it would take effect then, clearing the way for those residents to cast a ballot in the upcoming federal elections.

Robinson wrote that “even if instances of noncitizens voting cause indirect voter disenfranchisement by diluting the votes of citizens, such instances pale in comparison to the number of qualified citizens who have been disenfranchised by this law.”

The evidence shows only three instances in Kansas where noncitizens voted in a federal election between 1995 and 2013, and about 14 noncitizens attempted to register during that time. The court noted the “magnitude of harm” caused by 18,372 applicants at motor vehicle offices who were denied registration due to the state’s proof-ofcitizenship law.

Although the registrations of more than 32,000 Kansans were in limbo as of last September, the injunction only applies to those people who registered at motor vehicle offices — a voter registration process that was established by the federal law popularly known as the “motorvoter law.”

Early voting for the state’s August primary

begins on July 13, the judge noted. Robinson wrote that the injunction was necessary because it was unlikely that the case would be decided at trial before the elections.

The American Civil Liberties Union, which filed the lawsuit on behalf of voters, said the ruling means thousands of people will be able to vote in the 2016 elections, and “sends a signal” to other states which may be considering these kinds of registration requirements.

Three other states — Arizona, Georgia and Alabama — have passed similar proof of citizenship laws, said Dale Ho, director of the ACLU’s voting rights project.

Arizona is the only other state that has actually implemented it, and that state has made sure eligible voters who register at motor vehicle offices make it onto the voter rolls for federal elections.

“Kansas is really the outlier here,” Ho said.

The federal “motorvoter law” establishes various registration methods, and this lawsuit was brought under a provision of that law that allowed people to register to vote when getting their driver’s licenses. The ACLU argued Congress intended for motor-voter registration to involve the “least possible barriers” to allow citizens to vote in

federal elections.

Robinson agreed eligibility could be determined by attesting under penalty of perjury that the registrant was a U.S. citizen.

Federal law does not prohibit states from requiring more information to determine eligibility to vote in state elections, and Kansas has a dual registration system that bars people who do not provide proof of citizenship from voting in local and state elections.

That two-tier process has been challenged under state law, and a state judge held earlier this year in that case that Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach lacked legal authority under state law to keep federal registrants from voting in Kansas elections. Kobach’s request asking the state judge in that case to reconsider is pending.

Kobach said he plans to appeal Robinson’s ruling, saying counties would have to distinguish between people who register to vote at driver’s license offices and other prospective voters. Also, he said, the state could still require proof-of-citizenship to vote in state and local elections, making the registration system more complex.

“The court’s order would be a nightmare to administer,” Kobach said.

last week’s community meeting and Tuesday’s commission session, observed Thomas Bowlus likely thought a $1 million trust for ongoing costs would be good for perpetuity. It hasn’t and “the school district has taken a hit over the years,” he said.

Williams also suggested “all the partners need to come together,” as they did last week, to reach a viable plan that would avoid annual budget crises, and “take the pressure off the school district.”

While no one dwelt on it, Williams did mention the county has about $2.5 million in its budget that is designated for no specific expenses this year.

The sum was a windfall created by the addition of the Enbridge pipeline and pumping station to the county’s valuation.

Leavitt said the county’s higher payment would ease concerns about how to meet physical and technology needs that “we keep pushing back,” at the Bowlus.

He also mentioned the

wisdom of pursing community input about how to plan for the future of the Bowlus.

“I’m for the Bowlus,” said Daniels, “but we need to look ahead, be frugal but helpful.”

Williams encapsulated the discussion as well as any, saying he felt assured all involved were eager for the Bowlus to continue to provide a superior educational environment for area children and that he “wouldn’t want the school district to walk away from it.”

Taxes: KU’s Self gets big break Continued from A1

which is among the nearly 334,000 Kansas businesses that owe no state income taxes under the 2012 tax cuts.

Before Brownback signed the tax cuts, the top tax bracket was 6.45 percent — a rate under which Self would have owed up to $177,375 a year in state taxes. Under the lower top rate of 4.6 percent, he’d have owed up to $126,500.

Self formed his LLC while he was the head coach at Illinois, years before the tax reductions.

His attorney, Stuart D. Campbell in Tulsa, Oklahoma, declined to discuss Self ’s finances, citing attorney-client privilege.

While saying he likes Self, state Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, a Topeka Democrat, argues that while the cuts were meant to create jobs, Self doesn’t do that.

“KU people, obviously, like him very much,” Hensley said.

“But it’s bad policy when you’ve got the highest paid state employee in the state not paying any income taxes into the state of Kansas.”

Self is not the only coach at Kansas who gets compensated both as a salaried employee and as an independent contractor via an LLC. The Jayhawks’ football coach, David Beaty, receives a salary of $225,000 a year, as well as $575,000 through his LLC. Unlike Self, Beaty created his LLC last year, well after the Kansas tax cuts were enacted.

“If they passed a provision like this in Washington, D.C., where I live and work, I would go to my employer the next day and ask them to start paying me as an independent contractor,” Scott Drenkard, an economist with the conser-

vative Tax Foundation, has recently testified before the Kansas House Committee on Taxation.

“I would still be doing the same job and contributing the same value to the economy,” he told the panel, which was considering a bill to eliminate the income tax exemption. “I just wouldn’t be paying any income taxes.”

At Wichita State, men’s basketball head coach Gregg Marshall signed a deal last year paying him $3 million annually, making him among the highest paid coaches in college basketball. And his counterpart at Kansas State, Bruce Weber, signed a deal in 2012 that calls for him to be paid $1.9 million this season. Neither gets paid additional money through an LLC or other pass-through businesses, meaning they pay Kansas income taxes on their salaries.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Kansas treats its poor in a punitive manner If you turn off the water, does that end one’s thirst?

Of course, not.

But that’s the logic Gov. Sam Brownback is using to justify cutting welfare benefits — again.

“The results have been very positive,” Brownback said of his now third time to cut government assistance programs, including food stamps.

Fewer people are receiving assistance, he boasts, as if that illustrates the greater need is being met.

On average, those being affected make $11,880 a year, or about half of the federal poverty level. With the last two cuts, more than 1,000 families will lose aid.

Legislators began sharpening the ax in 2011 when they restricted temporary benefits from five years to four. In 2015, it went from four years to three. And now, three years to two.

We are not a state of second chances.

Brownback patronizes the poor when he says by reducing public assistance he is only trying to help them overcome a “tendency to procrastinate.” Without the assistance, they’ll get back to work.

“That’s our objective: it’s to get people out of poverty,” he said.

Why can’t he just be hon-

est?

The truth is that in his and Republican legislators’ drive to maintain tax cuts for the wealthy, he’s running roughshod over everyone else — especially our most vulnerable, our children. During Brownback’s tenure as governor, the number of children receiving assistance through the state-sponsored Temporary Aid for Needy Families program has dropped from 25,000 in 2007 to 10,000 in 2015. During that same period, the rate of childhood poverty in Kansas has increased by 20 percent, according to Kansas Action for Children.

Just in the last five months, more than 1,000 Kansas children have been dropped from TANF rolls.

And it’s not because their needs have been met.

Almost 90 percent of those kicked off the rolls have not found secure employment, according to the KAC. KEEPING people fed and sheltered, not pulling the rug out from underneath them, is the best way to help the poor get back on their feet.

Anything less, is unchristian.

Trump signals sunset of the GOP

By LOWELL WEICKER JR.

When Republicans convene in Cleveland this summer and bestow upon Donald Trump the nomination to be the party’s standard-bearer, they will complete their slow and steady descent into irrelevance. The party of Lincoln, once governed by ideals and principles that reflected prudent financial governance and social conscience, is no more.

Though aging, I can still recall a Republican Party that was truly national in scope represented by the likes of Nelson Rockefeller, Barry Goldwater, John Sherman Cooper, Howard Baker, Clifford Case, John Chaffee, Ed Brooke, Jacob Javits, Charles Percy, John Heinz, Alan Simpson ... and, yes, yours truly.

There were Republicans who represented big city constituencies as well as rural populations and there was respect within the caucus for the problems facing both.

Since the late 1970s and early 1980s, the Republican Party shifted focus from issues that affected people’s well-being to issues of philosophical pu-

rity. In so doing, it alienated women, blacks, Hispanics, the disabled and on and on.

Ronald Reagan threatened so many programs for the disadvantaged, from health care, to education, to social services, that whole swaths of Americans felt threatened. The moderate eastern Republican fell victim to Republican extremists from within, such as William F. Buckley, and the party started to disintegrate.

Nothing more clearly demonstrates the result of this self-inflicted isolation than the Republican Congress we have today. Gone is the party of fiscal conscience. The Bush Middle East wars put the lie to fiscal responsibility. Faced with a new president in 2008 and an economic crisis, the Republicans in Congress chose to “do nothing” and be “the party of no.”

And so, we have had unproductive gridlock. Republicans have squandered every opportunity to put forward positive solutions to the nation’s ills.

For example, rather than urge yet another repeal of Obamacare, they could have fashioned repairs. Controlling ma-

jorities in both houses, they could have crafted their own immigration reform package, proposed realistic tax reform with middle-class relief and fashioned their own infrastructure legislation. Yet, they just continued to say “no” and do nothing.

And now, embracing a presidential candidate who has insulted and offended nearly every American, the GOP is reaping its just desserts. Congressional Republicans are faced with a Hobson’s choice: run with Trump or run on a record of “no.” It’s difficult to imagine how the party will come together to “make America the greatest” when it has wasted these last few years in a self-made wilderness.

The question in November is not whether Republicans will lose but how badly will they lose. Right now it looks like everything: House, Senate, presidency.

About the writer: Lowell Weicker Jr. was governor of Connecticut from 1991 to 1995 and a U.S. senator from 1971 to 1988. He wrote this for the Hartford Courant.

OBAMA: U.S. citizens must listen to local police WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama called on the nation Monday to support and listen to its law enforcement officers as he bestowed the Medal of Valor on 13 officers who risked their lives to save others.

In a ceremony in the East Room, Obama draped the purple-and-gold ribbons around the necks of officers who intervened in shooting rampages, hostage situations and an armed robbery. He pledged to keep working toward a bipartisan overhaul to make the criminal justice system fairer, smarter and more effective so that officers are well-equipped to enforce the country’s laws.

“We can show our respect by listening to you, learning from you, giving you the resources that you need to do your jobs,” Obama said. “Our country needs that right now.”

Three Santa Monica, California, officers — Jason Salas, Robert Sparks and Capt.

Raymond Bottenfield — were honored for their response to a 2013 rampage on a community college campus that left five people dead. Confronting 23-year-old gunman John Zawahri in the campus library, the officers shot and killed him when he pointed his assault weapon at them.

Obama also honored Gregory Stevens of suburban Dallas, who exchanged gunfire with two armed men outside an exhibit hall holding a provocative contest for caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad. Both gunmen were killed, heading off what investigators suspect-

ed was a planned mass shooting.

The Medal of Valor ceremony comes amid a simmering public debate about police tactics and racial disparities in the justice system. Obama has walked a careful line on the issue — expressing support for most law enforcement officials, while also endorsing protesters’ complaints about racial profiling and mistreatment by police.

In his remarks on Monday, Obama steered that conversation toward his push for a sentencing overhaul and other changes to the justice system, an effort that has found backing in both camps.

Obama said he holds out hope that legislation can be passed this year despite the heavily politicized climate ahead of the November election. The need for change has been a rare point of common ground between Democrats and Republicans, and though momentum appeared to have sputtered earlier this year, a new Senate proposal has raised hopes that the issue could be successfully revived.

One of those honored, Police Maj. David Huff of Midwest City, Oklahoma, saved a 2-year-old girl being held at knifepoint after negotiations with her captor deteriorated.

“Obviously, the last few moments were tense. There was a countdown going on,” Huff told reporters after the ceremony. “There was just no way I was going to let that little child get hurt.”

Attorney General Loretta

Lynch, the nation’s top law enforcement official, said there were no words or medals that could begin to pay the debt the country owes the officers.

“It has often been said that the price of freedom is constant vigilance,” Lynch said.

“Know this: they pay that price on our behalf.”

One Philadelphia officer died from a gunshot wound and was honored posthumously. Sgt. Robert Wilson III drew fire from assailants during a robbery while saving store employees and customers.

Wilson’s family accepted the award on his behalf.

“We honor those who didn’t come home,” the president said.

The other officers honored with the medal Monday are: • Miami-Dade police Officer Mario Gutierrez, who was stabbed multiple times while subduing a knifewielding man who tried to set off a massive gas explosion that could have caused massive casualties.

• Johnson City, New York, Patrolman Louis Cioci, who chased and captured at a crowded hospital a gunman who had just killed a fellow officer. Investigators believe Cioci saved the lives of hospital staff, patients and visitors.

• Los Angeles police Officer Donald Thompson for, while off duty, crossing two freeway dividers and braving first- and second-degree burns while pulling an unconscious man from a burning car to safety.

• Omaha, Nebraska, police Officer

Coral Walker, who shot and killed a man who had killed and injured multiple people during a shooting rampage.

• North Miami, Florida, police Officer Niel Johnson, who endured gunfire from an assault weapon in pursuing and capturing a man who had shot a Miami police officer and two bystanders.

• FBI Special Agent Tyler Call, who while off duty with his family helped rescue a woman whose ex-husband was holding her at gunpoint.

• Niagara County, New York, sheriff’s Deputy Joey Tortorella, who confronted and subdued a gunman who had shot and wounded his parents inside their home, preventing the gunman from threatening the safety of students at a nearby elementary school.

Taylor: Credit for success should be shared, IHS senior says Continued from A1

good — or not.”

The obvious, of course, is a 4-point GPA and a high enough score (34) on the ACT exam to qualify her for full tuition paid to attend Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.

The flip side of holding yourself to such high expectations is that it’s unrealistic — and exhausting — to expect perfection.

“I’ve learned that I will make mistakes, and that’s OK. Nobody’s perfect,” she said.

Overcoming a fear of failure came in starts and stops for the young girl.

“In middle school, I didn’t talk very much at all,” she said, taking refuge in her books and studies.

But when she entered high school, Taylor dug deep to push through those fears to not exactly transform — she’s still on the quiet sde — but to branch out and become more involved with her peers and school activities.

She credits several things and people for helping her become more self-possessed, including the school’s Forensics program.

For her junior and senior years this selfprofessed “mouse” competed in public speaking events, specializing in impromptu speaking, poetry and original oration.

“Forensics helped bring me out of my shell,” she said.

Today, Taylor possesses a confidence earned from success from be-

hind the podium.

As further proof, she was selected by her peers to be the Class Speaker at commencement ceremonies Sunday.

Taylor also cites the influence of Matt Kleopfer, who teaches band.

“Mr. K is awesome,” she says simply. Taylor plays the French horn in the school band. She’s also studied piano ever since childhood with Kathleen McCollum.

Taylor also singles out teachers Travis Hermstein, history, Virginia Crane, English, Jean Johns, the facilitator of the gifted children program for USD 257, and Marv Smith, cross country coach, as being significant role models.

Taylor ran crosscountry all four years of high school and her senior year was captain of the team.

She also was involved in LinkCrew, serving as a mentor to incoming freshmen.

Other high school highlights were competing on the LifeSmarts team, which qualified for nationals two years in a row; FCA, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and her experience at Girls State, which lead to her going to Girls Nation in Washington, D.C., and meeting with President Barack Obama.

“That was unbelievable,” she said of the experience.

TAYLOR’S home life is critical to her success.

“I grew up in a fam-

ily of readers,” she said.

“I’m very right-brained.

I love reading and writing.”

She remembers as a child always being read to. “Reading, in a sense, helped shape me,” she said.

She noted that her grandmother, Deb Greenwall, is a school librarian.

Taylor also said her Mormon faith has created new learning opportunities. All through high school Taylor has attended a 6 a.m. weekday Bible study with her sister, Olivia, 16, and a handful of other youths at the home of Becky Nilges.

“It’s been awesome,” Taylor said of the class.

“It’s a huge commitment on Becky’s part.”

GOING to school in Utah won’t be too much of a stretch for Taylor.

She already knows one roommate who will be sharing her apartment, a young woman from Erie who also attends her church. And she has six cousins who are cur-

rently attending BYU, which has a student population just shy of 30,000.

“All of my dad’s family lives in Utah,” she said.

Particularly appealing is the setting of the campus, which at 4,500feet elevation sits at the base of the Wasatch Mountain Range.

and food science technology, with a minor in global food distribution. While at KSU she also plans to follow the pre-law track to groom her for law school. Her specific interest is in patent law.

The current process for securing a patent — be it for an innovative technique or piece of machinery — “stifles agricultural innovations,” Wicoff said.

Eventually, Wicoff said she sees herself working for the United Nations in its USAID agency to yes, fight world hunger, through sustainable food production in third world countries.

than I am.”

Looking back, those years “seem like a different period of my life,” she said.

For Wicoff, 18, doing her best is part-andparcel to her nature.

That attitude is how she came to earning all A’s through high school as well as 50 hours of credit from classes she has taken simultaneously at Allen Community College.

She scored a 35 on the ACT, a college admissions exam, which she took her sophomore year. An aboveaverage score for the comprehensive exam is 24-27.

IT’S NOT ALL about Her good grades and scores have qualified saving the world for her for about $95,000 in Wicoff.

She’s taken time college scholarships.

accepted into K-State’s Honors Program and an invitation to live in a Scholar’s Hall, Wicoff deferred.

Instead, she’ll be sharing a dorm room with fellow IHS grad Cassie Delich, and from there hopes to pledge a sorority.

In the class of about 80 grads, four have committed to attending KSU next fall.

Wicoff said her experience at IHS has turned her into a wellrounded individual.

She noted the teaching methods of Travis Hermstein, history, and Dianne Kauth, math, as being particularly challenging.

“I couldn’t have succeeded in calculus at ACC without Mrs. Kauth doing such a good job in preparing us to go on to the next level,” she said. As for Mr. Hermstein, his exams frequently were just a blank sheet of paper, “where we were to write everything we’d learned,” she said.

WICOFF is also sav-

vy to the ways of the world — good and bad — and noted the recent death of a fellow student has reinforced her passion to de-stigmatize mental illness.

The daughter of Lisa and Joel Wicoff, Clara has grown up in a tightknit family. She is the eldest of four children.

NATIONAL CHAMPS Red Devil 4x800 relay team is crowned after dominating run

By JON DYKSTRA The Iola Register

LEVELLAND, TEXAS — It was time.

Aaron Miller, Carlos James, Vinny Butera and Chris Martin wanted to capture a national title for Allen Community College bad. They had been waiting all season since the Indoor National Championships where they fell short, however that was nothing compared to the waiting Red Devil coach Vincent DeGrado had endured.

DeGrado — a veteran junior college coach — has had national champions before at other schools, but until now the 4x800 relay had always eluded his grasp.

“I never had a relay team win the Outdoor

4x800,” DeGrado said. “So I wanted us to get it done.”

This was the team that DeGrado was convinced could get him that title and bring it back to Iola and Allen. Leading up to Tuesday, the Red Devils had had a dominant year in the event and went into the NJCAA Outdoor National Championships in Levelland, Texas as the team to beat. But they were going to have to prove it.

“Sometimes Goliath is supposed to kick David’s butt,” DeGrado said.

Tuesday was the first day of competition in Levelland and the team was excited to get their top event going.

The weather — cold and windy — however, demanded a change-up in plans.

High School Golf: Regional Tournament

Sellman punches state ticket

By JON DYKSTRA The Iola Register

CANEY — Humboldt’s Ryan Sellman’s fantastic freshman campaign will conclude with a trip to the state tournament.

“It is exciting because at the beginning of the season that was my goal and I achieved my goal,” Sellman said.

Sellman shot a 89 at the regional tournament hosted by Caney Valley which earned him sixth place and put him into the state tournament field.

With rainy conditions and a wet course, Sellman said the scores were affected by the weather. Play

was delayed for 30 minutes in the middle of the round due to lightning in the area.

“It impacted my score a lot, because the ball wasn’t rolling very well and it stuck 90 percent of the time in the fairway,” Sellman said.

Sellman looks up to his brother Robbie, who also qualified for the state tournament See SELLMAN | Page B6

Royals top Red Sox

By DAVE SKRETTA The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Royals’ plan in spring training was for Paulo Orlando and Jarrod Dyson to platoon in right field.

Orlando is making quite the case to play every day.

The speedy Brazilian hit

a two-run homer, a two-run single and a stand-up triple to pace the Royals’ resurgent offense Tuesday night, and Kansas City went on to beat the hot-hitting Boston Red Sox 8-4 in the opener of their threegame series.

Cavaliers run over Raptors

By TOM WITHERS The Associated Press

CLEVELAND (AP) — Still unbeaten, still undeniable.

The Cavaliers are rolling through the East with ease.

LeBron James hardly missed and scored 24 points in three quarters, Kyrie Irving scored 27 and Cleveland picked up where it left off before a long layoff by thumping the Toronto Raptors 115-84 in Game 1 of the

Eastern Conference finals on Tuesday night.

James made his first nine shots — one an arena-rattling powerhouse dunk — and the Cavs, healthy and hungry after losing in the Finals a year ago, shot 67 percent from the field in the first half while improving to 9-0 this postseason.

Cleveland is the first team to start the playoffs with nine straight wins since San Antonio reeled off 10 in a row in See CAVS | Page B3

Bernie Sanders on Tuesday night in Carson, Calif.

Wally Skalij/Los Angeles Times/TNS

Sanders wins Oregon; Clinton takes Kentucky

By CHRIS MEGERIAN Los Angeles Times

Bernie Sanders won Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Democratic primary while falling barely short of another victory in Kentucky on Tuesday, prolonging his battle with Hillary Clinton despite his slim chance of securing the partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presidential nomination.

Clinton campaigned heavily in Kentucky in the final days before the primary, eking out a narrow apparent victory in the state as she tries to keep her focus on a potential general election match-up with Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee.

With nearly all precincts in Kentucky reporting, Clinton led Sanders by fewer than 2,000 votes out of more than 400,000 cast. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always stronger united,â&#x20AC;? Clinton said in a tweet as she declared victory.

Sanders, however, is not prepared to concede the race to Clinton, telling a crowd of thousands in Carson, Calif., that he plans to fight until the Democratic convention in July. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are in until the last ballot is cast,â&#x20AC;? he said.

In a Democratic contest that has become more about psychology

than delegates, the Kentucky primary took on outsized importance as Clinton worked to avoid a double loss for the day.

Both campaigns had expected Clinton to lose the nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other contest, in Oregon.

But two losses after several other Sanders victories would have been a black eye after whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become an increasingly raw contest pitting the Democratic establishment against a grass-roots insurgency with a strong sense of grievance.

Tensions overflowed in Nevada over the weekend, when Sanders supporters accused party leaders of unfairly awarding Clinton more delegates during the state convention. The state party rejected the charges â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Clinton, after all, had won the caucuses earlier this year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but its leaders were bombarded with criticism, invective and even threats.

Sanders issued a statement Tuesday condemning harassment but blaming the party leadership for the fracas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Democratic Party has a choice,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It can open its doors and welcome into the party people who are prepared to fight for real economic and social change ... or the party can choose to maintain its status quo.â&#x20AC;?

Cavs: Cleveland humiliates Toronto Continued from B1

2012.

But although the Cavs are more than halfway to winning a title — and ending the city’s 52-year championship drought — James isn’t satisfied.

“I think don’t think we have complacency in our minds,” he said. “We have a goal and our goal is not nine wins. I’ve won nine games before.

I’ve won 14 games before.

We will face some adversity.”

The 31-point win is the most lopsided in Cleveland’s postseason history.

But unlike their second-round series when they made 77 3-pointers and swept Atlanta, the Cavs did most of their damage from close range. Cleveland made just 7 of 20 3-point attempts.

DeMar DeRozan scored 18 points and Bismack Biyombo added 12 for Toronto, which had just one day to prepare for the Cavs after going to seven games with Miami.

“I thought they were the fresher team, the quicker team,” Raptors coach Dwane Casey said.

Kyle Lowry, who scored 35 points in the Raptors’ series-clinching win over Miami, was held to just eight as he and the Raptors were roughed up in their first appearance in the conference finals.

Unless Toronto figures

some things out quickly, these Raptors will be extinct, too.

Game 2 is Thursday night.

Cleveland figured to have some rust following a nine-day break since ousting the Hawks. But not only did the Cavs look refreshed, they looked better than before, taking their game to another level.

And James, as is almost always the case, led the charge. He finished 11 of 13 from the field and added six rebounds and four assists in just 28 minutes. James spent the final quarter on the bench cheering on Cleveland’s reserves.

These are the Cavs at full force, not the version missing Love and Irving in last year’s Finals.

“They waited a full regular season to get back to this moment,” James said of his teammates. “They trained their bodies all season long to get back to this point and those guys have been spectacular.”

The Cavs outscored the Raptors 33-16 in the second quarter when James personally welcomed Canada’s NBA franchise to the East’s final round with a devastating dunk.

Driving baseline past DeMarre Carroll, James cut across the lane and hammered home a righthanded windmill. He celebrated the slam by tilting his head, back-

pedaling and letting out a primal scream along with 20,000 fans.

The impressive bucket capped a 20-2 spurt for the Cavs, whose swarming defense made life miserable for Lowry and his teammates. Toronto didn’t get its first field goal until 6:28 remained in the quarter. The Raptors regrouped for a moment and closed within 12 before the Cavs decided enough was enough and closed the half with a 12-4 flurry to go up 6644.

The Raptors came in as overwhelming underdogs, but Casey wasn’t worried about the stage being too big or his team fearing the Cavs.

He’s still confident his group will bounce back.

“This score is embarrassing,” he said. “But it’s just one game.”

And that might be the scariest thing of all.

OFF THE LINE DeRozan and Lowry did not attempt a free throw despite both playing more than 31 minutes. They combined to take 18 foul shots in Game 7 against Miami, and DeRozan said he and Lowry needed to be more aggressive.

“We’ve got to come out the gate with that mindset, being aggressive like we usually do, and I think we didn’t try to do that until later on in the game,” he said.

CHAIRMEN OF THE BOARDS

The Cavs dominated the Raptors inside, outrebounding them 45-23.

TIP-INS Raptors: Didn’t have center Jonas Valanciunas because of a sprained right ankle.

He’s doubtful for Game 2. ... Casey nearly hired Cavs coach Tyronn Lue two years ago before he signed with the Cavaliers as David Blatt’s top assistant. “We talked, and he made a good decision,” Casey said. “He’s a good, young coach, a good person.”

Cavaliers: Cleveland’s nine-game winning streak is the longest for any Cleveland team in postseason history.

The Cavs also won nine straight in 2009. ... Lue, who is unbeaten in the playoffs, is flattered that Lowry calls him a “father figure.” The two became tight when Toronto’s guard entered the league. “When he first came in, he said that he wanted to be like Tyronn Lue,” Lue said with a chuckle. “He wanted to compare himself to me.

I was like, ‘Well, you can be much better than me.’

He’s very well surpassed me as a player.”

Sixers win NBA Lottery NEW YORK (AP) — The Philadelphia 76ers have lost big for three years, when they appeared to value draft picks more than players.

They got a huge victory Tuesday night, and maybe the wins on the court will soon follow.

The 76ers won the NBA draft lottery, giving them the No. 1 selection in June.

“The pain that we’ve all gone through, the pain of losing is real. You can’t camouflage it,” said coach Brett Brown, who represented the 76ers on stage. “The city has been incredibly patient, tolerant, choose any word you want. I think this validates some of the pain we went through.”

The Los Angeles Lakers finished second but also felt like winners, as they would have dealt their pick to Philadelphia had they fallen out of the top

three.

The Boston Celtics, with a pick dealt to them by the Brooklyn Nets, remained in the No. 3 slot.

Nobody moved up in the lottery, which sets the top three picks. The remainder of the 14 teams are slotted in the inverse order of their won-loss record.

The 76ers finished 1072, just off the worst record in the history of the 82-game schedule, and had a 26.9 percent chance of landing the No. 1 pick (their own 25 percent chance, and Sacramento’s 1.9 percent chance, since the 76ers had the right to swap picks with the Kings from a previous trade.)

They would have garnered another top-five selection had the Lakers tumbled a couple of spots, since they would have been entitled to the pick the Lakers originally

dealt to Phoenix for Steve Nash that the 76ers later acquired in another trade.

“It’s been a long year,” Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak said. “Because of the contingencies of the deal, there was a significant chance we would lose the pick. That would have been disappointing. We would have gotten over it and moved on to the summer, but that would have been disappointing.”

Philadelphia certainly won’t complain, not after doing no better than No. 3 in the previous two drafts during a three-year process where the focus was more on building for the future than trying to win in the present.

“We can now make the decision all by ourselves,” said Brown. “We don’t have to wait and see what someone else does. It gives us the injection we need.”

“It means a lot to follow in my brother’s footsteps,” Sellman said.

“He is the one I look up to and I want to do better than he did at state as a freshman.”

Robbie finished 63rd at state as a freshman.

“I have to work on my short game,” Sellman said. “Hopefully, I can get that down and I think I can do well at state.”

Ryan credits first-year coach Eric Sparks with helping him develop this year.

“We have grown together a lot in his first year as a golf coach,” Sellman said.

Fredonia and Caney Valley finished as the top two teams in the tournament and earned the right to send their entire teams to state.

Caney Valley’s Troy Watson won the tournament by shooting a 71.

Kansas City Royals shortstop Alcides Escobar forces out the Boston Red Sox’s Mookie Betts at second before completing the double play on Dustin Pedroia at first to end the third inning on Tuesday at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. John Sleezer/Kansas City Star/TNS

Royals: Orlando sparks KC Continued from B1

Whatever they need, defense or baserunning, I just come to the field to help,” said Orlando, who started his fourth straight game. “They know what I can do to help the team.”

Omar Infante and Alcides Escobar also drove in runs for Kansas City. Yordano Ventura (4-2) gave up four runs and seven hits over 5 2/3 innings before exiting with a onerun lead.

Orlando’s homer highlighted a three-run eighth that gave the Royals some breathing room.

“You try to find a hot hitter and you kind of ride it out,” Kansas City manager Ned Yost said.

“We just right now need the offense. The offense from the bottom of the order tonight was fantastic.”

Rick Porcello (6-2) gave up five runs, four earned, on eight hits and two walks for Boston. He lasted five-plus innings, his shortest start since going two innings against the White Sox last July.

Travis Shaw hit a three-run homer to provide most of the Red Sox offense.

“I definitely made some mistakes and obviously they capitalized on them,” Porcello said. “They did a good job of taking advantage of pitches that were up and over the middle of the plate. I was just really inconsistent locating my fastball down in the zone and some of the off-speed pitches I threw were not as effective as I would have liked.”

Boston actually struck first when Jackie Bradley Jr. extended his hitting streak to 22 games with an RBI double in the second, but Kansas City quickly answered in the third. Escobar drove in Orlando shortly before Eric Hosmer belted a two-out pitch over the centerfield wall for a 2-1 lead.

Things unraveled for Porcello in the fourth when he gave up three runs on four consecutive one-out singles, matching the secondmost runs he’d allowed in a start all season.

And while Porcello got

through that inning and the fifth, he failed to retire a batter before getting yanked in the sixth.

It was the first time in 16 starts Porcello did not last six innings.

“They got me today,” he said, “plain and simple.”

Boston tried to bail out Porcello in the top of the sixth when Shaw swatted a three-run homer, giving the Red Sox a home run in 17 consecutive games. The franchise record is 19 set in July 1996.

The comeback was squelched by Kansas City’s resolute bullpen.

Luke Hochevar got the final out of the sixth and worked a perfect seventh. Salvador Perez threw out Xander Bogaerts trying to steal second to wipe out the potential tying run in the eighth.

“He’s got a tremendously strong arm,” Yost said, “and he’s as accurate as I’ve ever seen.”

FARRELL GETS TOSSED Red Sox manager John Farrell was ejected in the seventh for arguing with plate umpire Bill Miller over the strike zone. It was the second time Farrell has been tossed this season.

TRAINER’S ROOM Red Sox: RHP Joe Kelly (right shoulder impingement) came out of his rehab start at Triple-A Pawtucket in good shape and could start for Boston on Saturday against Cleveland. ...

LHP Eduardo Rodriguez will be scratched from a planned rehab start Thursday for Pawtucket with more pain in his right knee. “This isn’t something we feel we’re back to ground zero,” Farrell said.

Royals: 3B Mike Moustakas (broken left thumb) will begin a rehab assignment at Double-A Northwest Arkansas on Wednesday. He could rejoin the Royals against the White Sox this weekend in Chicago.

UP NEXT Boston’s Steven Wright and the Royals’ Ian Kennedy will start the opener of a double-

header at 1:15 this afternoon, which will include the makeup of Monday night’s rainout. David Price will start the nightcap at 7:15 p.m. for the Red Sox against Kansas City right-hander Edinson Volquez.

Post-purchase ‘cleaning’ a mystery Dear Car Talk:

What is it that car dealers do to a car once I’ve signed the papers but before I drive it off the lot? This has happened during my last two car purchases, a Buick and a Ford: They take the car in the back, out of sight, and they keep it quite a while.

They tell me they are “just cleaning it up.” But it doesn’t look any cleaner. Are they removing something I purchased on the car? Are they dismantling a theft monitor, something required by the government or their insurance company? What are they doing to my car once I have purchased it? Thanks for any insight into this puzzle. Love your column, love your show,

Car Talk

Ray Magliozzi great sense of humor, and I trust your opinions. Thanks. — Anita Answer: What are they doing? They’re depreciating it by about 30 percent.

Seriously, I don’t know what they’re doing. I’ve never been present during this mysterious process.

I’m guessing that they do wash it. And they probably clean the glass, inside and out. They remove the plastic coverings that protect interior parts from getting coffee stains on them while other people test-

drive the car.

They probably check the tire pressure and the battery output. They may set the navigation system for your region so the first time you use it, it doesn’t ask you, “What part of Manitoba would you like to visit?”

They put your license plates on it, and make sure the oil and windshield-washer fluid are topped off. They may install whatever lastminute accessories they talked you into — like the down-filled velour floor mats. They even might drive it down the street and put some gas in it.

If the car’s been sitting on the lot for a while, it also might need a software update, or even a technical service

bulletin repair taken care of.

And there are two possible reasons why it takes so long. One is that the 19-year-old kid who is in charge of removing the Saran Wrap from the door sills is busy or out to lunch. So the car sits there for half an hour until he gets back.

The other possibility is that it gives the “finance office” an extra 45 minutes to sell you an extended warranty and some gold-plated fuzzy dice.

But I don’t know for sure, Anita. Maybe some of our readers who are dealers can tell us exactly what they do during this final delivery inspection. Fellas? Gals?

Does my description sound about right?

Allen: 4x800 wins national championship

How To Think From Heaven's Perspective

Continued from B1

DeGrado shuffled the order of runners for the race. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the weather bad, we wanted to put the pressure on the other teams early,â&#x20AC;? DeGrado said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Switching the legs is a chess move to create the moves we want.â&#x20AC;?

Normally a move like DeGradoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to stack the top of a lineup with his two fastest guys causes concern that the weaker back half of the relay may cough up a lead late.

DeGrado had none of those concerns, due to the extreme faith he has in all four of his guys. Despite the shuffle, DeGrado was still able to plug Allenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schoolrecord holder in the 800 in as the anchor. FutureWichita State Shocker Aaron Miller would be trusted to bring the title down the homestretch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I laughed that our school-record holder is our third-best leg in the 4x800, lots of schools would like to have that situation,â&#x20AC;?

DeGrado said.

DeGradoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan worked perfectly. Butera and James built the lead and Martin and Miller didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let the other teams back in it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were loose and relaxed,â&#x20AC;? DeGrado said.

The Red Devil coach knew they had it before Miller even crossed the finish line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I threw my hands up so he could see,â&#x20AC;? DeGrado said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really celebrate much. It was expected. This is what is supposed to happen.â&#x20AC;?

The Red Devils ran the race in a time of 7:44.57, which was nearly 6 seconds ahead of secondplace Monroe College.

By comparison, Monroe

Allen Community Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Carlos Baker, Vinny Butera, coach Vince DeGrado, Aaron Miller and Chris Martin celebrate after winning the national championship in the 4x800 relay in Levelland, Texas on Tuesday. SUBMITTED was closer to the seventh-place team from Essex Community College than they were to Allen.

Simply put, no one was going to touch the Red Devils on this day. While DeGrado relished the victory, it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long before he was thinking about the talent he has returning next season in Butera and Martin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vinny is going to be a

monster,â&#x20AC;? DeGrado said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is a prototype Division-I level runner.â&#x20AC;?

MORE RESULTS Additional results from the NJCAA Outdoor National Championships will be coming later in the week as the event continues today and Thursday with more Red Devil athletes competing.
