by Alan MillerJanuary has been a frustrating

month for Grant County Democrats. Eight days before the filling dead-line for the May 5 primary election, there is not a single Democrat on the ballot for a countywide office.

“At this time, I am working with a couple of individuals to get them on the ballot,” said Terry Stodghill, county chairman of the Democratic Party. “I won’t lie to you, it has been tough.”

Even if no Democratic candidates file for the primary election, party leaders still have until the end of June to fill vacancies on the ballot for the November 3 general elec-tion.

On the other hand, Republicans have candidates for all offices on the ballot--including contested pri-mary races for Grant County Supe-rior Court 3 judge and Grant County treasurer.

In addition to those two offices, other county offices on the 2020 ballot include Superior Court 1 judge, county recorder, county sur-veyor, two county commissioners and three at-large seats on the coun-ty council.

Scrambling for candidates in county elections is nothing new for Grant County Democrats. In the past 25 years, only two Democrats have been elected to county offices.

Oatess Archey made history in 1998 when he became the first African-American ever elected sheriff in any of Indiana’s 92 coun-ties. Archey, an all-state athlete at Marion High School and a retired FBI agent, was re-elected to a sec-ond term in 2002 with 74 percent of the vote.

by Alan MillerHabitat for Humanity of Grant

County is taking applications from families in the county who would like to acquire a house in Sweetser that the organization plans to build later this year. The groundbreaking is set for late spring or early summer.

Families must meet three cri-teria: the ability to pay, a need for housing and a willingness to partner with Habitat for Human-ity.

Applicants also must attend an informational meeting at 10 am, Saturday, February 1, at College Wesleyan Church, 200 E. 38th Street. The meeting will offer in-formation on Habitat’s mission, how the selection process works and what it means to be a Habitat homeowner.

(Applicants who attended an informational meeting on Janu-ary 27 do not need to attend the February 1 meeting.)

Habitat also is seeking volun-teers to help build the house or serve on committees. Interested volunteers should email [email protected] or call 765-662-1552.

Tough days for Democrats in county

Habitat to build house in Sweetser

by Alan MillerUnited Way of Grant County

has received a $150,000 grant to open doors for some of our com-munity’s youngest citizens who are living in what social scientists call a childcare desert.

It’s a new term for an old prob-lem. A childcare desert is a neigh-borhood or part of a city where there is no more than one child-care seat for every three children. Statewide, 45 percent of children live in a childcare desert, accord-ing to a study by Early Learning Indiana and the Indiana Business Research Center.

Thanks to the grant, funded by Indianapolis-based Lilly En-dowment and managed by Early Learning Indiana, an additional

150 Grant County children and their families, between the ages of six weeks and 6 years, will have access to high quality childhood education opportunities.

The successful grant, which began as two proposals that were merged into one, was written by Alicia Hazelwood, executive di-rector of United Way; Brenda

McVicker, director of curriculum and assessment for the Eastbrook Community Schools; and Greg Maynard, director of fund devel-opment for Carey Services.

The Grant County application was one of 13 selected to receive funding and was one of only four to receive the maximum amount of $150,000. More than 30 proposals initially were received statewide for the $1 million in Lilly Endow-ment funding.

“We are extremely excited to get the award and to receive not only money but also the support and recognition that what we are doing in Grant County shows great promise,” Hazelwood said.

veterans with disabilities and certain caregivers access to military installations.

The DOD has made it possible to shop at commis-saries and exchanges on the installations and also allows access to certain morale, wel-fare and recreation (MWR) activities. To be eligible for these opportunities you have to be a veteran who has a service-connected disability and have a VA Identification Card showing such, or be an approved family caregiver of an eligible veteran. Veterans that are former prisoners of war, and those that have been awarded a Purple Heart are also eligible to enter the installations to take advantage of these opportunities.

Some of the MWR access is to bowling centers, golf courses, movie theatres and recreational lodging and RV

campgrounds.Access to the installations

is available to those with the Veteran Health Identifica-

tion card that displays Purple Heart, Former POW or Service Connected below the photo on the front of the card. Veterans that have a zero percent service-connected disability may use a Health Eligibility Center Form (H623A) paired with an ac-ceptable ID such as a driver’s license or a ID card provided by the state.

Primary caregivers will receive an official letter from the VA Office of Community Care. Spouses or dependents of the veteran or caregiver are not eligible for the benefit or to make purchases, but may ac-company the veteran or care-giver, with acceptable proof of identity and if they pass a basic background spot check.

If you are a veteran and do not have a service-connected disability and feel that you should due to something from your military service, contact your local County Veteran Service Office to see about filing a claim through the VA.

Veterans Service Of f ice

Grant County

“Leave No Veteran Behind”

Veterans serviceBrad Hodson

There are some things in life that never grow old. At the top of the

list are the stories of Jesus found in the Gospels. One of those stories gives us great insight into children. Luke 18:15-18 says, “(15) And they brought unto Him also infants, that He would touch them; but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them. (16) But Jesus called them unto Him, and said, permit little children to come unto me, and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of God. (17) Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God like a little child shall in no way enter it.”

Why would Jesus draw such attention on a group of

little children? There is no doubt they were important to Him, or He would not have given this subject any time.

As I ponder this passage, I want to ask some ques-tions to try and illuminate what Jesus said. What do we really know about children? In Psalm 127:3 the Scrip-ture tells us that they are a heritage of the Lord. What does that mean? We have the privilege of overseeing what God has created and given us. However, children are only on loan to us. They belong to God and we are His stewards. Contrary to what some people believe, they are not a ward of the state; children don’t belong to the government.

Another question that I think of is: What responsi-

bility do I have to children? God’s Word says, “Train up a child in the way he should go and, when he is old, he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6). It is obvi-ous from this passage that we have a mandate from the Lord to train our children. We must teach them in the ways of Scripture.

You may be thinking at this point: “Are we raising them to be religious fanat-ics?” I hope not! One thing that we don’t need any more of is religious people. There are lots of people who are religious, but lost. We must train our children the way of being ambassadors for Christ. If we don’t take the time to train our children in the things of God, remem-ber, the devil has time for them. He will do all he can

to ruin their lives with lies and broken promises of pleasure.

When Jesus encouraged the people to bring the little ones to Him, He was setting a powerful precedent for life itself. We see Christ’s favor to these little ones. They were not being brought to Jesus in order that He would teach them. They were too young and not capable of understanding His message. They were not brought to be healed, unlike most who came to Jesus. They didn’t need to be healed because they were healthy little children. They were simply brought to Him so He could bless them. When Jesus saw the little ones He touched them by laying on of hands and prayed down a blessing from the Father for them.

Jesus makes it very clear in the Gospels that He wants to bless the little children. They are so trusting and naïve. They are not like older people who have been

scarred and battered from the storms of life. Sin takes a toll at times on older indi-viduals. Little children have not been subjected to all the things we have experienced.

I hope this year that we are all more like Jesus and sensitive to the needs of little children. They need lots of instruction, encour-agement, and love. I know that I have the capability to do those three things, and I am committed to putting the plan into action. How about you?

Some veterans, caregivers have new access“Grant County is receiving a well-deserved reputation around the state as a place that is making an impact on early childhood education and other children’s issues.”

Here is where the $150,000 will go and how it will be used:

Eastbrook schools will receive the largest amount, which will help remodel classrooms in two of its el-ementary schools to expand preschool opportunities in

eastern Grant County.Carey Services, which is

the Early Head Start pro-vider in Grant County, will receive funding to renovate existing agency space to add a classroom that will serve local infants and tod-dlers.

Madison-Grant schools will receive money to ex-pand its On My Way Pre-K programs.

Two home-based child-care providers will receive money to make required renovations that will allow each to accept additional

infants and toddlers. Those two providers have not yet been selected.

The Early Childhood Co-alition, a working group of Thriving Families, Thriving Grant County, will coordi-nate the use of the capacity-building money to nurture existing programs as they complete the necessary steps to become a desig-nated high-quality program by state standards or help new providers to start that process.

Inside-the-locker-room stuff about this news business usually isn’t very interesting and I

was going to leave it alone, even after we lost a legend in Jim Lehrer last week. He, a steady hand in news at public television for so many years, died at 85.

I might have said something bland about his decency and then moved on to something else, but one of the government goons got in the way over the weekend and that changed everything.

If ever there was a journalist—and he worked in both print and on air—a man of more integrity than Jim Lehrer, I do not know of him. And if ever there was a Secretary of State of the United States further down in the gutter than Mike Pompeo, I do not know of him.

These two, Lehrer and Pompeo, converged in mind sometime Saturday after I reread the journalism commandments Jim Lehrer bequeathed to us and then read of Mr. Pompeo’s profanity-laced tantrum unleashed on a lady who, by all accounts, is as decent a person as there is in the Washington press corps, Mary Louise Kelly, a reporter for National Public Radio and an anchor person at the daily “All Things Considered.”

We’ll not dwell on the details here, but Kelly was interviewing the Secretary of State and had the temer-ity to ask about Ukraine, a place the Secretary appar-ently does not like very much at the moment.

That put an end to the interview, but Kelley was summoned to Pompeo’s office somewhere inside the Foggy Bottom empire that

is the State Department. As she recounted it, “The aide who had stopped the interview reappeared and asked me to come, with no recorder.” She was taken to Mr. Pompeo’s private living room, “where he shouted at me for about the same amount of time as the interview itself had lasted. He asked, ‘Do you think Americans care about

Ukraine?’ He used the f-word in that sentence, and many others.”

“Then he asked he if I could find Ukraine on a map,” and Kelly, whose reporting has taken her around the world, said, “Yes,” she did. That’s about the time Pompeo launched another tirade about the media being—his word—“unhinged.”

But enough about a for-mer third-rate Congressman from Kansas who became Secretary of State mainly because no one else would take the job under current management. Back to Jim Lehrer, who, along with Robert MacNeal, provided for years what someone called “an oasis of sanity” on the PBS News Hour.

“I have an old-fashioned view that news is not a commodity,” Lehrer said a few years ago. “News is information that’s required in a democratic society, and Thomas Jefferson said a democracy is dependent on an informed citizenry. That sounds corny, but I don’t care whether it sounds corny or not. It’s the truth.”

Speaking to the Aspen Institute, he created a sort of pocket guide that would lead to the kinds of information Mr. Jefferson required.

Consider this: Thomas Jefferson once held the job that Mike Pompeo has now. Think about it.

“Do nothing that I cannot defend,” was Lehrer’s first admonition, followed by “Do not distort, lie, slant, or hype” and “Do not falsify facts or make up quotes.”

This in a week in which the Washington Post reported that a fact-check of President Trump’s first three years found 16,241 false or misleading claims.

“Carefully separate opinion and analysis from straight news stories and clearly label them as such,” Mr. Lehrer urged, on through 16 items. This is, by the way, an opinion. It is so labeled.

And the last of them is simply this: “I am not in the entertainment business.”

Dreaming of a Healthy Retirement?It’s never too early to start planning for retirement and major expenses like healthcare. Especially since healthcare spending is projected to grown 6.3% annually through 2019, according to a Health Affairs study. Unfortunately, too many people neglect to plan for healthcare costs in retirement. The reality is you’ll have many important considerations as you near retirement, and healthcare expenses like Medicare and long-term care insurance should be among them.

My 1950s GE canning stove holds lots of memories for

me. When we bought our home in August 1994, the stove came with it.

As first-time homeown-ers, not having to buy a stove seemed a way to save a little bit of money. That was except for the note from the previous own-ers saying the stove didn’t work. Not to worry though, because my husband Larry, dubbed MacGyver by one of our previous neighbors, figured out pretty easily that the stove did work, it just needed the temperature gauge adjusted.

The 39-inch white stove has so much character: the silver General Electric name tag that has a red emblem in the middle, the light that illuminates the entire stove top and the multi-level options for each of the four burners that glows with a different color when a burner is on. The differ-ent colors for each button always remind me of the rainbow with Warm being blue, Lo–green, Three–or-ange, Two–yellow and High appropriately colored red.

While the oven is small, the stove’s top surface has an area to hold all my cook-ing utensils, a spoon holder, as well as plenty of space to make Christmas candy, so–a

good trade-off. And, for most of the time, the size of the oven was not a big deal. Only at holiday time did making an entire meal prove to be a bit more difficult. To resolve part of the problem, Larry just grilled the turkey for Thanksgiving and for Christmas we timed the meal so that the ham was cooked partially, then other items were baked, and the

ham finished last.A few years ago, the

oven stopped working, so it seemed time to look for a new stove. Larry and I went to a local store to see what a new stove might look like and were surprised when talking to a saleswoman that she actually discouraged us from buying a replace-ment. She told us to try and fix what we had, stating

nothing we could buy would compare to what we had.

Again MacGyver came to my rescue, searching the in-ternet for a heating element that he could replace in the oven. That gave us a few more years with our canning stove.

However, recently, I started noticing the oven seemed to be scorching things. A meal I placed on the bottom rack burned half of the meal. Another time Andrea put a pizza in the oven and the crust turned too brown.

I thought I just needed to move the bottom rack a little higher in the oven, a simple fix.

Then I came home from work one day to find Larry telling me that the oven was not working correctly. He had put in a stew I had made the night before that needed to cook for four hours at

250 degrees. An hour into the baking, Larry realized the stew smelled like it was done. He checked the temperature in the oven and found that, while the tem-perature dial showed 250, it was actually cooking at 400 degrees.

The worst part was, after taking the thermostat apart, Larry told me he couldn’t fix the stove, there were just too many old and frayed wires. We were going to have to find another stove.

As silly as it sounds, I am having a hard time letting go of my old canning stove. I think of all the memories that stove has made with my family: all the Christmas holidays when we made all the different cookies and candies; all the chicken Alfredo meals I made for the Oak Hill girls basketball pre-game meals and all the dinners I made for the

family.Even as I mourn over my

stove, I realize there will be pluses to a new stove: it will allow me to cook an entire Thanksgiving or Christmas meal at the same time, for one. And, since change is part of life, I guess I will learn how to create new memories with a new stove.

Ironically, it appears that the stove waited to conk out until after our children left home. Maybe that old canning stove decided it was time to start some new traditions with just Larry and me.

As silly as it sounds, I am having a hard time letting go of my old can-ning stove. I think of all the memo-ries that stove has made with my family: all the Christmas holidays when we made all the different cook-ies and candies; all the chicken Al-fredo meals I made for the Oak Hill girls basketball pre-game meals and all the dinners I made for the family.

Indiana is recognized as a top state in the country for our infrastructure, fiscal responsibility and

strong economy. Unfortu-nately, we do not rank as well when it comes to health care costs, with Hoosiers spending more annually on medical expenses than the average American and smoking rates continuing to rise. This ses-sion, I join House lawmak-ers working to drive down healthcare costs by stopping surprise, out-of-network billing and reducing youth smoking.

While 41% of Americans are worried about rent or mortgages, 67% are increas-ingly worried about being able to afford surprise medi-cal bills, according to the Kai-ser Family Foundation. Some Hoosier patients are visiting facilities they know are in-network, but later receive a bill that includes the cost of an out-of-network provider and is much higher than they anticipated. Referred to as surprise, out-of-network billing, this can happen for a number of reasons. For example, the only anesthe-siologist available that day could be out-of-network and insurance had not come to an agreement on reimbursement amounts with this doctor.

A proposal for a new law

would help consumers by requiring patients to be billed at in-network rates if they visit an in-network hospital or facility. As this bill goes through the legislative pro-cess, lawmakers are continu-ously working with providers, insurance companies and health care industry profes-sionals to fix this issue and protect patients from surprise medical bills.

Another piece of legisla-tion would align Indiana with federal law by raising the age to purchase tobacco products from 18 to 21, including e-cigarettes and vaping products. According to the Indiana State Department of Health, around 3,100 Indiana youth become new daily smokers each year. It is estimated that ap-proximately 151,000 Hoosiers currently under the age of 18 will ultimately die prematurely from smoking, unless smoking rates are reduced.

Under this bill, penalties for retailers would also be stiffened for selling these products to those under 21. This legislation is important for young adults throughout our state; however, it could also prove especially helpful for our community. While the state has about a 22% rate of adult smokers, Grant County has approximately 31%. This bill could go a long way in

lowering youth smoking rates in our community.

From ensuring consumers are protected against surprise expenses, to encouraging young adults to avoid smok-ing, these policies could help Hoosiers throughout the state. For questions on these public health bills, or others, please reach out to me at 317-234-9499 or [email protected]

Panthers remain winlessLast Tuesday night, the

Eastbrook Panthers put to-gether one of their most complete games of the sea-son. Unfortunately, after the final buzzer, the Panthers were still looking for their first win, as they fell to the Muncie Burris Owls by a score of 57-55.

Eastbrook fell behind in the first half, trailing by eight points at the halftime break, but they came roaring back in the third quarter to take the lead and eventually built a multiple-possession advantage in the fourth.

However, they could not close it out.

“It’s a heartbreaker to-night, unfortunately,” East-brook Head Coach Greg Allison said. “Down eight at halftime, we battled all the way back, led by two at the end of the third, and were up by six at one point in time in the middle of the fourth. Tonight’s a heartbreaker for sure.”

Alex Baker led the way for the Panthers, collecting 24 points in the loss.

Allison continues to be-lieve his team is heading in the right direction. “We’re playing. We’re playing hard. The kids are following the gameplan,” Allison said. “For whatever reason, it just seems that we are coming up short here in these last few games.

“But I’m proud of them.

I’m proud to be their coach. I think they did an amaz-ing job tonight representing their school, their families, and their community in the way they played.”

Giants end skidThe Marion Giants, suf-

fering from a myriad of in-juries, have had some atypi-cal struggles recently, losing five straight games after a 5-2 start to the season, but last Tuesday evening at the Bill Green Athletic Arena, the Giants finally ended their losing streak, defeating longtime rival Anderson, 75-62.

Eight players scored at least three points for the Gi-ants, while four finished in double figures.

“We had a balanced at-tack,” Marion Head Coach James Blackmon said. “Ev-

erybody who stepped out on the floor contributed to the box score.”

Marion took an 18-9 lead after the first quarter and held that advantage the rest of the way.

“Tonight was a game we can go back [to], evalu-ate, and try to correct some things [for the future,] but at times, we played well in spurts,” Blackmon said. “I

thought we did good things on both ends of the floor. We maintained the lead. Once they made a run, we were able to answer with offense, and the defense was able to make stops. Overall, I thought it was a good effort from a team standpoint.”

Matthew Goolsby led the way with 16 points, while Francesco Boniciolli col-lected 15, Rasheed Jones

added 14, and Cubie Jones posted 12.

“It was good to see Fran-cesco take shots with con-fidence. He’s been really working hard in practice,” Blackmon said. “It was good to see Matthew get it going, and Cubie came out early and gave us a spark early in the ball game with his quickness on the defen-sive end. Rasheed, he’s a

Giants fall to Lafayette Jefferson

Coming off of their much-needed NCC triumph over Anderson, the Marion Gi-ants could not keep their momentum going in Sat-urday’s tilt with Lafayette Jefferson, as they were de-feated by a score of 86-73. With the loss, Marion fell to 6-8 overall and 3-2 in the conference.

The Bronchos took a 22-17 lead after the first quarter, before extending their lead to 50-28 after a 28-11 run closed out the opening half.

“I thought we definitely learned a lot tonight as far as detail,” Marion Head Coach James Blackmon said. “In the first quarter, we were pretty solid on defense, but I thought in the second quar-ter when the shots didn’t go down, and when you have a team like Lafayette who is capable of four or five guys really scoring well, I thought [the Bronchos] played their best quarter. When they went on a 28-11 run, that kind of knocked the wind out of us.”

The Giants played much better basketball in the sec-ond half, closing the Jeff lead to nine points with 1:37 to go, but they would not get any closer.

“I give credit to our guys in the second half,” Black-mon said. “I thought we chipped away. We made de-fensive stops. And guys kept playing. We made some im-provements, and that’s all I can ask for. There are a lot of things we can correct [from] that second quarter, and of-fensively, when we moved the ball, we were really ex-plosive. That is something

we will continue to work on, and we will continue to get better.”

JK Thomas led the Giants with 26 points, RaSheed Jones finished with 14, and Francesco Boniciolli add-ed12.

Indians top ApachesThe Mississinewa Indians

are on a roll. Their offense has been efficient. Their defense, game in and game out, has been more than sol-id, and they just keep win-ning.

Behind yet another stout defensive effort, despite a

slow beginning, the Indians picked up their ninth win in a row last Tuesday eve-ning, defeating the Wabash Apaches by a score of 68-48.

Mississinewa’s offense put up remarkable numbers once again, shooting 28-of-54 (51.8 percent) overall, 15-of-28 in the first half, and 13-of-26 after halftime.

“We’ve worked really hard as a coaching staff to let them know what’s a great shot,” Mississinewa Head Coach James Reed said. “We work on those shots in practice so when they

get them in a game, it’s just [like] practice. They feel good about it. Their team-mates feel good about them taking that shot, and belief can do a lot.”

Defensively, the Indians held Wabash to just 21-of-62 (33.8 percent) from the floor, which included a two-for-22 mark from the perim-eter.

In their current win streak, they have been effective at keeping their opponents from putting the ball in the basket.

“Wabash is a team that can score a lot of points, and

for us to hold keep them un-der 50, I was really proud,” Reed said. “Championship teams still take pride in their defense, and I felt like we did that, especially after the first quarter.”

Coming off their emo-tional conference triumph over Blackford, the Indi-ans were a little sluggish to start. They answered with six straight points from Tai McClung, Landen Swanner, and Hayden Ulerick after Wabash opened the game with a bucket from Jared Holley, but some uncharac-teristic, lackadaisical play

on the defensive end of the floor in the first eight min-utes kept the Apaches close.

After Mississinewa grabbed the lead, Wabash trimmed it down to two points on four separate oc-casions, but the Indians al-ways had an answer, grab-bing a 14-10 advantage at halftime.

In the second quarter, the Indians quickly took over the contest.

An 11-4 run for Mississ-inewa to start the frame put them firmly in control, while their defense began to put the clamps on Wabash’s of-fense, forcing four turnovers in the frame and scoring a plethora of buckets in tran-sition.

“We were a little rusty to start the game,” Reed said. “Defensively, especially. We got loose, we got out, and we weren’t rebounding very well. But then in the second quarter, they locked up [and] they really bought back into what we were doing. When their defense is that good, it just goes right into our of-fense, and that’s how we can score points quickly.”

Swanner and Anthony Horton helped to jumpstart Mississinewa’s offense in the second quarter. Horton, after scoring just four points in the opening frame, scored nine in the second, while Swanner finished with eight.

Together, the duo com-bined for 17 of the Indians’ 25 points in the second stan-za.

“[Anthony] took over a little bit for three or four possessions, which took the air out of them a little bit,” Reed said. “Landen, of course, was hitting, and whenever Anthony and Landen are playing well, we are going to play well.”

“I thought we did good things on both ends of the floor. We main-tained the lead. Once they made a run, we were able to answer with offense, and the defense was able to make stops. Overall, I thought it was a good effort from a team stand-point.”

Panthers lose to Adams Central

In what has become the theme for the Eastbrook Panthers’ 2019-2020 cam-paign, their offense strug-gled to score, and that, combined with a strong per-formance from Adam Cen-tral’s Carly Holley, led to Eastbrook’s tenth defeat–a 39-28 loss to the Flying Jets last Tuesday night.

Eastbrook struggled to get shots up in the opening two quarters, and when they did, they failed to knock them down as the Flying Jets took an 18-14 lead.

“We got shots, really good shots [in the first half,]” Eastbrook Head Coach Jeff Liddick said. “But only hit 29 percent of them. In the second half, it was kind of the same deal. We ended up shooting 32 percent for the game.”

While the Panthers shot marginally better after half-time, they were unable to overcome their deficit, and a lot of that had to do with Holley. The Adams Central star scored a game-high 18 points and outplayed the Panthers on the boards.

“Holley dominated the of-fensive glass,” Liddick said. “She got numerous second-chance opportunities where she was putting them back in, or we were fouling her and putting her on the free throw line. That was the dif-ference in the game–not be-ing able to contain her. She ended up with 13 rebounds, and eight of those were of-fensive.”

“We will continue to work,” Liddick said. “I watch these girls hit shot after shot in practice, and I don’t know why it isn’t transferring over to a game situation. The way I see them shoot in practice is nice and controlled, [but] it totally changes once they get in the game. They look so uptight and so tense. We will continue to work on that shooting like we have been.”

Panthers lose to Bluffton On Thursday evening, the

Eastbrook Panthers’ offense continued to struggle, scor-ing just eight field goals and seven free throws in a 35-24 loss to the Bluffton Tigers. With the loss, the Panthers dropped their fourth straight contest.

“Bluffton gets after it on the defensive end,” East-brook Head Coach Jeff Lid-dick said. “Coach [Karl] Grau plays an aggressive man-to-man. It limited our shots, but at the same time, it caused a lot of turnovers. We turned it over 21 times, so we lost a lot of posses-

sions. We had 25-shot at-tempts and hit eight of them. We got good looks, but we didn’t knock them down.”

After a close first quar-ter, the Tigers outscored the Panthers 9-4 in the second frame to take a 15-8 lead at the halftime break. East-brook was able to cut the Bluffton advantage to five at the end of the third quarter, but some clutch free throw shooting down the stretch helped the Tigers pull away and secure the victory.

“Bluffton only hit one more shot than us,” Liddick said. “The difference was they were 15-of-17 from the free-throw line and we were seven-of-16 from the free throw line. They were putting their free throws in, and we weren’t convert-ing.”

Johwen McKim and Lexi Binkered each knocked down three field goals for the Panthers, but the rest of the team combined to shoot two-of-12 from the floor.

“I don’t know what the answer is, I really don’t,” Liddick said. “We’ve tried anything and everything to get points on the board. We’re just not finishing at the rim. We’re not knocking down open looks when we get them. But we will con-tinue to work hard these last three games and continue to work to get better. Hopeful-ly, we can get things turned around.”

Argylls defeat DalevilleFor those who have fol-

lowed the Madison-Grant Argylls this season, their record is not indicative of the progress they’ve made throughout the entire sea-son. After a few really sol-id performances in recent games, the Argylls finally got back in the win column with a 45-39 triumph over the Daleville Broncos last Tuesday evening.

The victory halted a six-game losing streak for Mad-ison-Grant.

Daleville took a 23-19 lead after the first half of play, but the Argylls played tremendous basketball in the second half, outscoring the Broncos 26-16 in the final two quarters, which included a 13-5 run to end the game.

Chelsea Bowland’s de-fense on Daleville’s top scorer, Heather Paulter, played a huge role in the win, as the sophomore held the Broncos’ star to just one point.

Azmae Turner, who has become a solid scoring op-

tion for the Argylls all sea-son long, led the way with 15 points. “Azmae started the game a little slow, but she found her groove in the second half, was much more aggressive off the bounce, and did a nice job of fin-ishing at the basket plus knocked down a couple of open jumpers,” Bradley said. “She has come a long way offensively this sea-son.”

Argylls fall to NorthfieldComing off of their thrill-

ing win over Daleville, the Madison-Grant Argylls battled with Northfield be-ginning to end on Thursday evening, but a late surge from the Norse helped them secure a 46-37 victory.

After falling behind 9-4 after the opening eight min-utes, the Argylls came back in the second quarter, cut-ting the Norse advantage to 19-17 at halftime. Azmae Turner and Gracey Fox each notched a field goal in the fi-nal 40 seconds of the half.

Northfield increased its lead to as many as 11 in the third quarter, but a 7-0 run by the Argylls to end the stanza made it a four-point game at 31-27.

The Argylls continued to fight, making it a one-

possession game with 2:12 remaining, but the Norse scored the final six points of the game to secure the nine-point triumph.

Turned led Madison-Grant with 16 points, while Zoey Barnett scored seven and McKenna Lugar fin-ished with six.

Giants lose to Fort Wayne Northrop

Despite an overall strong performance and anoth-er incredible effort from Ra’Shaya Kyle on Wednes-day evening, the Marion Giants’ six-game winning streak came to end with a 58-57 loss to Fort Wayne Northrop.

Marion got off to a slug-gish start, falling behind 15-8 after the first quarter and 29-22 at the halftime break. However, the Giants eventually found their foot-ing, as Ra’Shaya Kyle, who was playing at less than 100 percent due to sickness, be-gan to take over the game. The two teams battled throughout the second half, with Marion taking a two-point lead in the final two seconds of the game. But the Bruins were able to sink the game-winning three, handing the Giants just their fifth loss of the season.

“Overall, I thought the girls played well,” Marion Head Coach Lawrence Jor-dan said. “We really, re-ally competed. We missed a one-and-one , and had a two-point lead [with two seconds left,] but we didn’t close out on the three [that ended the game.] It was a couple of detail type of plays that hurt us.”

Kyle finished the game with 38 points, while Ellie Vermilion collected eight.

Giants defeat Lafayette Jefferson

Playing in their final reg-ular season home game on Friday evening, the Giants, despite a slow beginning, picked up their seventh con-ference victory with a 69-51 triumph over the Lafayette Jefferson Bronchos.

The game was close at the beginning, as the Giants led by just one point with 3:41 remaining the first quarter, and led by just three points, 11-8, heading into the sec-ond quarter.

“We got off to a sluggish start. RaShaya has been sick since the Logansport game…and she is still super weak,” Marion Head Coach Lawrence Jordan said. “So were a little sluggish at the beginning. We tried to establish Ra’Shaya at the beginning, but she wasn’t really moving like I wanted her to.”

In the second quarter, the Giants settled in on both ends of the floor. Ra’Shaya Kyle found her offensive touch, the defense was ag-gressive in the half-court, and at halftime, the Giants had increased their advan-tage to 12 points at 34-22.

Marion led by double-digits the rest of the way, improving to 7-2 in the NCC and 16-5 overall head-ing into the final week of the regular season.

Kyle finished with 25 points to lead the Giants, while Ellie Vermilion col-lected 19.

Saturday’s game marked the last regular season home contests for Kyle, Vermilion, Kaliyah Jones and Taylor Kitts, and the impact they have each had on the program is evident. In the last three years, Kyle, Vermilion, and Jones have helped guide Marion to three straight winning sea-sons, two sectional cham-pionships, and a regional crown.

“[They have] meant ev-erything,” Jordan said. “At

the end of the day, I want to be judged on how I treat my girls and my relation-ship with my girls, and they know I love them more than anything. With regards to Ellie and Ra’Shaya, who have been with me my whole 75 games, it’s been an emotional day. As they move into college and be-come young ladies down the road, it’s been a blessing to be a part of [their] lives.”

Indians over Alexandria With just eight minutes

left to play, the Mississin-ewa Indians trailed by 14 points.

Twelve minutes later, the Indians capped off a thrill-ing comeback, outscor-ing the Alexandria Tigers 36-15 in the fourth quarter and subsequent overtime to come away with a 58-51 overtime triumph.

The Indians held a slight 7-6 advantage after the first quarter of play, and the two teams went back-and-forth the rest of the first half. Be-hind Reece VanBlair’s 14 first half points, the Tigers led 21-18 at halftime.

Alexandria dominated the third quarter, scoring 15 points to Mississinewa’s four.

“We weren’t really play-ing the defense that we had been playing,” Mississ-inewa Head Coach Laura Friday said. “We weren’t switching when we should have been switching. We weren’t talking. It was about what we weren’t do-ing honestly.

But a 24-10 fourth quarter for the Indians helped them pull even with the Tigers at 46-46, and Mississinewa carried that momentum into the extra session, securing the seven-point victory.

With the win, the Indians improved to 4-1 in confer-ence play.

“We decided to play our defense, and defense really pulled this game out for us,” Friday said.

Five players finished in double figures for the In-dians. Carly Bolser led the way with 14 points and 12 rebounds, while Darah Wat-son also recorded a double-double with 11 points and 10 boards. Riley McKee scored 12, Mia Catey 11, and Alayna Webb 10.

“We shared the ball well,” Friday said. “When some-one was hot at a specific time, we got them the ball. Riley, like always, con-

Grant County girls basketball

Giants drop first of 2020; Indians win a pairBehind a stout opening

eight minutes of basketball on Saturday evening, the Eastbrook Panthers picked up their eighth win of the season, defeating Grant County rival Madison-Grant by a score of 29-20.

“We got off to good start. We scored 16 of our 29 points in the first quarter,” Eastbrook Head Coach Jeff Liddick said. “We took shots in the rhythm of the offense, and we knocked them down.”

While their offensive production has been lack-ing for most of the season, the Panthers were excellent on the offensive end in the first quarter, shooting 60 percent from the field and building a 16-4 lead.

“For about two-and-a-half minutes, it was a 2-0 game, and then they ex-tended a 1-3-1 press at us, and we got a little sloppy and found ourselves down 10-2 quickly,” Madison-Grant Head Coach Brandon

Bradley said.” I think being down early, we felt a little cautious and played almost too tight trying not to err anymore, and it caused them to increase their pres-sure in the half-court and us to be too passive.”

While the Panthers were unable to keep their of-fensive momentum going throughout the rest of the contest, their first quarter onslaught was enough to put the game away.

“I think in the second quarter, fatigue set in a lit-tle bit,” Liddick said. “We got sloppy, and kind of re-verted back to our old ways of doing things. But a win’s a win, and [it was a] win against a conference oppo-nent and a sectional oppo-nent, and I was proud of the start we got off to for sure.”

Brianna Stepp led the Pan-thers with 11 points, while Lexi Binkerd scored seven. For Madison-Grant, Chelsea Bowland and Azmae Turner each scored eight.

Indians rout ElwoodPlaying in their penulti-

mate game of the regular season, the Mississinewa Indians made quick work of the Elwood Panthers, domi-nating from start to finish in a 68-39 rout.

“We just played really good defense,” Mississin-ewa Head Coach Laura Fri-day said. “Once the second quarter started, we got to pressing and making them turn the ball over. Our de-fense was what led us to victory tonight.”

Though final scores tal-lies were not made available for Elwood, the Indians did a masterful job of keeping their two best players, Ja-leigh Crawford and Clau-dia Leavell, under wraps throughout the contest.

“We knew that Crawford and [Claudia Leavell] were their best players,” Friday said. “We made sure we closed out tight on Leavell because she is normally a shooter. And with Craw-ford, we knew that she was good in the post…so we just tried to be really physical with Crawford inside.”

Riley McKee led the In-dians with 18 points to go along with three rebounds, three steals, and two as-sists, while Darah Watson finished with 16 points and four rebounds. Mia Catey collected 14 points and seven boards in the Indians’ victory.

Oak Hill loses to North Miami

Under Head Coach Todd Law, the Oak Hill Golden Eagles have been a team that has hung their hat on their defensive play, partic-ularly in recent seasons.

But last Tuesday night, the Golden Eagles unchar-acteristically struggled on the defensive end of the floor, giving up 42 points after halftime in an eventual 61-46 defeat to the North Miami Warriors.

After the first quarter, the two teams were locked at 10-10, and thanks to a late surge, the Golden Eagles took a three-point lead at halftime despite poor play.

“I can sum the entire game up in four words: to-tal lack of effort,” Law said. “We played very poorly in the first half. We just did not come out and play hard in this game at all. We made a little run in the last minute and a half and got a lead. They led most of the first half.”

But after halftime, the Warriors completely took over the contest, outscoring the Golden Eagles 42-24 in the final quarters, including 20-9 in the fourth stanza, to secure the victory and hand the Golden Eagles their sev-enth loss of the season.

“I challenged the kids at halftime, and they came out even more flat,” Law said. “We just didn’t work re-ally hard tonight, and didn’t

act like we wanted to be out there. For an Oak Hill team to give up 61 points…there’s no excuse for that other than we weren’t ready to play and we did not play with any effort whatsoever.”

Taylor Westgate collected a double-double with 16 points and 14 rebounds, while Carlee Biddle scored nine and both Kate Hor-nocker and Abby Shaw col-lected seven.

Golden Eagles over Alex-andria

After an uncharacteristic performance against North Miami, the Oak Hill Golden Eagles bounced back in a big way, using a strong de-fensive effort to clinch at least a share of their fourth straight CIC title and defeat the Alexandria Tigers by a score of 40-32.

After the Tigers took a 10-8 first quarter lead, the Golden Eagles took over, holding Alexandria to just two points in the second quarter and taking a lead they would not relinquish.

While the Golden Eagles did not shoot the ball partic-ularly well, they were excel-lent in every other category, resulting in a huge victory right before sectional play begins.

“We just played with a lot better effort tonight,” Oak Hill Head Coach Todd Law said. “I thought we had a solid night defen-sively holding them to 32 points. We really dominated the boards. We only had 10 turnovers tonight. The kids did a lot of really good things in this game.”

With her 28-point, 21-re-bound performance, Taylor Westgate made history, be-coming the first Golden Ea-gle ever, male or female, to record 1,000 career points and 1,000 career rebounds. Furthermore, she is one of just four people in Grant County history to accom-plish the feat–a group that includes current Marion Gi-ant Ra’Shaya Kyle and for-mer NBA star and Marion Giant Zach Randolph.

In a year full of ups and downs, the Golden Eagles prevailed. Despite having a whole new team from the one that won a state title a year ago, this year’s ver-sion grew with each passing game, and Law couldn’t be more pleased with his team’s performance throughout the season.

“Four years in a row, our seniors have never lost a conference,” Law said. “They’ve won it all four years. I just couldn’t be prouder of a team than I was tonight with this team. They worked hard for this. Most people weren’t giving this team a chance to be over .500, let alone win a con-ference championship. I’m very happy for them, and thrilled they were able to grind this out.”

While Holley finished with 17 points in the first half, Wabash’s four other starters were kept in check, combining for just six points as Mississinewa built a 14-point, 39-25 lead at half-time.

Mississinewa’s defense put their stamp on the game in the third quarter; in Wa-bash’s first four posses-sions, the Indians forced four straight turnovers and scored 11 straight points off of those giveaways.

From that moment, the Mississinewa defense took charge the rest of the way, not allowing the Apaches to cut the lead to any less than 17 points. The Indians led by as many as 29 points in the fourth quarter before settling for the 20-point tri-umph.

The Indians completely shut down the Apaches’ offense in the second half, holding them to just nine total field goals in 30 at-tempts.

Swanner led the Indians with 20 points, while Horton finished the game with 19.

Ulerick, who has really thrived in Mississinewa’s few games, continued his strong play against the Apaches. The sophomore collected 10 points, eight of which came in the first half, and was effective on the glass with six re-bounds. Ulerick, already a defensive maven on the perimeter, has really devel-oped his offensive game in recent weeks, and as a re-sult has become an impor-tant piece in the Mississin-

ewa rotation. “I’m just really proud of

him,” Reed said of Uler-ick. “His confidence has really grown these last two or games. He makes all the other parts work much bet-ter. The way he drives, and now, he is confident with his shot. I can’t wait to see what he becomes in the next few years.”

For Wabash, Holley led the way with 21 points, while Trent Daughtry fin-ished with eight points and Eli VanderVelden added six.

Indians dominate ElwoodOn Friday night against

CIC foe Elwood, the Mis-sissinewa Indians continued to roll, winning their tenth straight contest in dominant fashion with a 74-18 tri-umph over the Panthers at Fisher Court.

Anthony Horton led the way with 16 points, Tai Mc-Clung followed with 10 and Bryce Luedtke also finished with 10 points. Horton fin-ished with eight assists, while McClung collected 11 rebounds.

Golden Eagles over Alex-andria

The Oak Hill Golden Eagles won their second straight contest on Friday

night, leading from wire to wire in a 49-42 triumph over the Alexandria Tigers.

“I think our defense was the difference in the game tonight,” Oak Hill Head Coach Kevin Renbarger said. “Alexandria is a very solid offensive team and run their stuff very well. Our kids did a good job of lock-ing in on their preparation and forcing Alexandria to take over half of their shots from the three point line. Keeping Alexandria from scoring on back doors, ball screens or shuffle screens was the number one key for us.”

Oak Hill got off to a hot start, building a 13-4 lead after the first quarter of play behind some big plays from backup center Ryan Peder-son, who finished with six points and four rebounds in the first eight minutes.

“Ryan is a great team-mate and has been totally bought in to the success of the team as a whole,” Ren-barger said. “About 5-6 games ago, he realized that his effect on the team could and should be much more than a backup to Tristen. He has thrown himself into some of the little things that we need to be success-ful, and he has used those things to gain confidence

for himself. That confi-dence has led him to step out into a more impactful role on this team.”

The Tigers pushed back, cutting the lead to four, 22-18, at the halftime break, but the Golden Eagles never lost the lead.

Neither team shot well in the third quarter as the two teams combined to score just 15 points, but a 19-point fourth quarter by the Golden Eagles helped them secure their eighth victory of the season.

“It was very good growth out of our team to respond to runs the caliber of Alexan-dria,” Renbarger said. “That team is the Madison County champion, and they did it by going through Anderson and Pendleton Heights. We knew they were going to make a run, as they are very good at executing their of-fense. I thought our team did a great job of getting stops when we needed them.”

Clay McCorkle led the Oak Hill offense with 13 points, while Tahj Johnson and Tristan Hayes each fin-ished with 10 points.

After defensive strug-gles in the second half of their loss to Frankton last week, Madison-Grant Head Coach Brian Trout and the Argylls worked to shore up their play at that end of the floor heading into their conference and Grant County matchup against the Eastbrook Panthers on Friday night. Particularly in the final three quarters, the Argylls’ defense proved to be the difference, as the Argylls earned their eighth victory of the season with a 78-42 triumph over the Pan-thers.

Behind an aggressive half-court trap and full-court press, the Argylls forced 26 turnovers, scoring a number of easy buckets in transition and taking control of the contest early.

“Coming into every game this year, I felt we’ve been ready to play,” Madison-Grant Head Coach Brian Trout said. “That was a huge focus for us last year because I felt there were some games where, men-tally, we were not ready to go at the start. We’d get off to a bad start, and when you get off to a bad start against good teams, it’s tough to come back.

Grant Brown and Lance Wilson got the Argylls’ of-

fense rolling, knocking down back-to-back threes to start the game. Eastbrook’s Brody Brodkorb answered with a three to make it 6-3, but six straight points from the Argylls helped them widen the gap.

Despite trailing 16-8 af-ter the first quarter of play, the Panthers’ defense made some key stops throughout the stanza, which helped to keep the game close. In the second quarter, though, the Argylls quickly put the game out of reach.

After playing mainly halfcourt man-to-man de-fense in the opening eight minutes, the Argylls began to apply pressure on the Panthers, which helped to turn the game in their favor.

“We didn’t really want to start out in it. I wanted to see what we could do in the half-court to start out with,” Trout said. “In the second quarter...we picked up the pressure, and that changed the game at that point.”

Over the next eight min-utes, the Argylls outscored the Panthers 24-10, building their lead from eight points to 22. Of Eastbrook’s 24 total turnovers, 10 of them came in the second quarter as the Argylls built a 40-18 halftime lead.

“We didn’t play very

well. We turned the ball over too much, and then we had a hard time keep-ing their guards out of the lane,” Eastbrook Head Coach Greg Allison said. “Going into it, we knew that we were going to try to keep it a half-court game, and we weren’t really able to do that tonight. In the second half of the second quarter, they went on a run on us, and that turned out to be the difference.”

Armed with a 22-point advantage, the Argylls did not let up after halftime, opening the third quarter with a 10-4 run to increase their lead to 50-22.

“We came out and played focused in those first four minutes of the second half, opened up the lead a little bit more, and then were able to finish things off,” Trout said.

The Argylls led by 22 or more points the rest of the way, securing the 36-point triumph.

The Argylls put together another solid offensive performance, shooting 26-of-51 from the field (51 percent) and 11-of-24 (46 percent) from beyond the arc. Four Argylls finished in double figures, led by Brown’s 19. Brown also collected five rebounds,

four assists, and seven steals.

Wilson finished with 12 points, while Kaden How-ell scored 10 points and Jackson Manwell added 10 points and eight rebounds.

Conversely, the Panthers shot just 15-of-40 from the field (37.5 percent) and a woeful two-of-nine (22.2 percent) from the perimeter.

Despite this, there were still several bright spots for the Panthers. Starting center Alex Baker looked much more comfortable under-neath the basket on both ends of the floor, scoring 14 points and continuing his strong string of recent games.

“About a week go tonight, we made a valiant effort to start playing through Alex,” Allison said. “He’s respond-ed. He had 19 against North-field, 24 against Burris, and 14 tonight, and he probably had four or five blocks. He does well. He’s a big, strong kid who is quick enough to make some nice moves and finish through contact. He’s coming along.”

Brodkorb finished with seven points, Braxton Bowser scored five, and Jackson VanBelkum, Zeke Binkard, and Jake McKim each scored four points apiece.

I’ve done a little Indiana Wesleyan University basketball over the past quarter of a century, but

what I have witnessed over the past three months is be-ginning to shock the system.

Since November 3, IWU has played 15 games. They have won 13 and lost but 2—both on the road, and both four- to five-hour road trips. Amazingly, during this 13-2 run, the ’Cats have played only four home games—the remaining 11 were on the road.

Want to compare that schedule with some school down in Bloomington called Indiana University?

The Hoosiers have played 20 total games over that stretch, with 16 at home and only four away from Bloom-ington. I guess they’re saving on travel.

So, you see, the Wildcats have played an absurd road schedule, and yet they’re 13-2 and ranked No. 2 in the national polls released for NAIA Division-2 teams. They are running away with the Crossroads League and have the second-leading scorer in the nation. That’s number two among all of the players in NCAA D-1, D-2, D-3, junior college, NAIA D-1 and NAIA-D2.

His name is Kyle Mangus and he’s as good of a guard as you will find anywhere.

The junior from Warsaw, IN was just named the Cross-roads player of the week for leading the Wildcats to two huge wins—over Grace last Tuesday and Bethel last Saturday—both on the road, of course.

In those two games, Man-gus averaged 34 points per game, plus pulled down 12 rebounds, had 8 steals, and 6 assists while shooting 58% from the floor: numbers that some kid named Bird put up 40 years ago. This season, the 6-4 guard has led IWU to nine wins against teams ranked in the NAIA’s top 25. He would have to be con-sidered the nation’s runaway choice for NAIA player of the year.

It gets even better: You have the chance to see this kid play at IWU eight times from now through the first of March. That’s right, IWU is finally coming home.

So plan a trip soon to the Luckey Arena and watch college basketball the way it should be played—not with four or five 18- and 19-year old kids trying to make it to the NBA, but with good kids who want, first, an education and then a chance to win In-diana Wesleyan University its fourth national championship in the past seven years.

Take it from me, JB: you won’t be disappointed.

The Wildcats have the second-leading scorer among all of the players in NCAA D-1, D-2, D-3, ju-nior college, NAIA D-1 and NAIA-D2.

a seat on the county council in 2010. Four years earlier, Brock lost a race for the same seat by one vote, and in 2014 he was defeated by almost 700 votes when he sought a second term.

Terry Stodghill began dabbling in politics in 2005 after he retired as a union ironworker. “The first thing I worked on was the Obama primary election, and then several years later I worked in the Marion office for Hill-ary Clinton,” he said.

Stodghill was elected chairman of the Grant Coun-ty Democratic Party in March of 2017, and Patricia Gibson was appointed vice chairman of the party in June of 2018. Gibson worked 10 years at the Chronicle-Tribune as a reporter and editor and, for the past seven years, she has been director of communica-tions for the Marion Commu-nity Schools.

In the 2018 county elec-tion, Stodghill and Gibson chose to lead by example by running for seats on the Grant County Council. Neither was successful, with Gibson re-ceiving 40 percent of the vote and Stodghill receiving 30 percent.

Coming off the 2019 Mari-on municipal elections, when Stodghill and Gibson were able to fill the entire Demo-cratic ballot, the party had higher hopes for this year’s election cycle. To date, that has not happened.

“Even if some of our can-didates didn’t get all of the way there in the city elec-tions, I think we definitely changed the conversation,” Gibson said. “Our candidates brought up some issues that hadn’t been in the public eye during the last 20 years that I have lived in Marion.”

Two Democrats, one of them a first-time candidate, were elected to the Marion City Council in 2019. Anoth-er Democrat, Kathleen Kiley, was reelected to her eighth four-year term as city clerk.

“I’ve been trying to figure out for the last three county elections, why we can’t get Democrats elected in the county,” Stodghill said. “All of the smaller communities around Marion vote Republi-can, and the Democrats know that, so why would they want to put in all that time and ef-fort when they know what the end result is going to be.”

In a sense, Gibson said, county government is a dif-ferent animal because several offices on the ballot are full-time jobs, which would rule out potential candidates who already have jobs. Despite obstacles, Gibson remains optimistic about the future of the Grant County Demo-cratic Party.

“In the city elections espe-cially, I think we laid some good building blocks,” she said. “I am going to keep trying to engage people who haven’t been previously in-volved in the political and civic life of their community.”

Stodghill said running for a seat on the county council

two years ago was an eye-opener.

“I am a workhorse. I talked to people all the way from the north side of the county, where I live in Cook Estates, to Rigdon, on the south side of the county,” he said. “Sev-enty-five percent of the people had no idea who their county council members or county commissioners were. Some people were not even aware we had a county council.

“The only conclusion I have is that there is too much politics in local government. I think Marion Mayor Jess Alumbaugh said it best when he said, ‘We need to get rid of the R’s and D’s on the ballot.’ But that is just the way it is,” Stodghill said.

Stodghill said he is not ready to give up, however. “At this point in time, I plan to remain as county chair-man. We will see what hap-pens by the end of the year.”

Darren Reese, the county Republican chairman since 2017, would appear to be the biggest beneficiary of the Democratic Party struggles, but he is concerned about the election process.

“People might expect me to be of the mindset, and some previous county chair-men have been, that the peo-ple have spoken, and this is just the way it is going to be,” Reese said. “But I believe a conversation across the coun-ty among individuals of both parties would be attractive, so we could talk about ideas. I think that would make the Republican Party stronger, too.”
