| One never outgrows advice from a good coach, as seen here as Matt Varilek (right) talks with his former debate coach Paul Harens. Varilek, now a candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives on the Democratic ticket, debated for Yankton High from 1989 to 1993, and competed in foreign extemporaneous speaking at the National Speech Tournament in Indianapolis, Ind. in June 1993. | Observer photo by Dave Baumeister
