Team teaching stresses power of cooperation

By SUSAN LYNN The Iola Register

One outcome of creating attendance centers among the elementary grades beginning this school year is the opportunity for teachers to work more closely together.

At last Monday’s USD 257 board of education meeting, first-grade teachers Sherise Maness and Bayley Linn demonstrated their cooperative effort of sharing teaching responsibilities in a combined classroom.

“We know this isn’t for everyone,” Linn said, “But for us, team teaching has allowed us to not only be more effective at instruction, but also to be a better support

Bayley Linn, left, and Sharise Maness network for our students.”

Together, the two teachers have 38 students. There are six first-grade classes at Jefferson Elementary.

For Linn and Maness, the idea to team teach sprang up

from their almost daily discussions during their planning time.

“We found out that we had similar teaching styles and began to corroborate our lesson plans,” said Maness.

“And that maybe one’s weakness may be another’s strength,” added Linn.

The two have tried the method on a limited basis and found success.

At Monday’s meeting, board members gave them approval to go full steam ahead with the method for next school year.

The two have a wealth of experience. As a former kindergarten teacher, Maness lists her strengths in animated literacy and phonics, reading and science. Linn is a former second- and third-grade teacher with a strong emphasis in technology, grammar and social studies. Both are See TEAM | Page A2

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback promised on Friday that his state would scale back efforts to lure jobs away from the Missouri side of the Kansas City area if Missouri’s legislators weaken a law they approved in 2014 to end the business border raiding.

Brownback directed his commerce secretary to reduce the use of a tax incentive program aimed at encouraging companies to move existing jobs within the metropolitan area.

Brownback said his directive would become effective when Missouri changes its law.

But Missouri lawmakers are scheduled to end their annual legislative session on May 13, and it wasn’t immediately clear whether they would take up Brownback’s proposal. Existing Missouri law offers a truce in the business-poaching border fight if Kansas agrees to the law’s terms by Aug. 28.

Make that ‘Health Home’ A front-page article in Saturday’s Register detailed how state budget cuts mean the likely end to Health Home, a program dedicated to Medicaid recipients suffering from a combination of mental and physical ailments.

However, the article’s headline incorrectly identified the program as “Home Health,” an entirely different program that brings medical care services into the home. The Home Health program is running strong.

IHS LifeSmarts team takes fourth at nationals A group of Iola High School students proved once again their knowledge of being the consummate consumers.

The IHS LifeSmarts Challenge Team of Ryan Eyster, a junior, and seniors Taylor Heslop, Yohon Sinclair, Abigail Taylor and Clara Wicoff took fourth in the National LifeSmarts Challenge competition April 9-12 in Denver.

The competition is geared as “the ultimate consumer

Iola finished fourth out of 44 squads, while Heslop was chosen as LifeSmarts Student of the year.

area have advocated a truce for years, and officials in both states have acknowledged they would be better off improving the region’s economy rather than moving existing jobs back and forth across the border.

“Our focus should be on creating new jobs that help our states and the region grow,” Brownback said in a statement.

The mayor of Kansas City, Missouri, said he’s pleased Brownback “has decided to be more strategic.” Mayor Sly James released a statement calling the Kansas governor’s proposal “a step in the right direction.”

“Moving jobs across state lines isn’t economic development,” James said. “It’s score keeping, and we can do better than that.”

as providing support for students struggling with the lesson or perhaps is needed to help with a behavioral issue.

“This way a teacher’s attention is not diverted by a disruptive student,” Linn said.

“Sometimes you’re faced with the problem of do I take care of this student, or do I keep trying to teach to the rest of the class.”

Together, the teachers feel supported by each other to try new ideas.

Their classrooms incorporate creative seating arrangements including “wobble chairs,”

that help the children get their wiggles out while staying at attention. The chairs were purchased through gifts and grants.

The physical spaces at Jefferson, built in 1938, present challenges to the team-teaching method, the teachers admitted.

“I’ve asked the janitor if he could make a big hole between our classrooms so the children could more easily pass between our classrooms,” said Linn jokingly.

Modern schools typically have learning pods that more easily accom-

modate fluctuating sizes of groups.

As is, the students generally congregate in Linn’s classroom which is the more spacious of the two.

THIS WEEK the two teachers will be attending a conference sponsored by ANW Cooperative on team-teaching.

“They’re willing to take a risk. You can’t move forward without that attitude,” said Jack Koehn, superintendent of schools.

“I say more power to you,” added Buck Quincy, school board member.

the Missouri Department of Economic Development determines whether a Kansas policy triggers a moratorium on cross-border raiding.

“While we are still reviewing the details of the proposal, it does not meet the terms of the law enacted in 2014,” department spokeswoman Amy Susan said in an email Friday.

Brownback’s plan focuses on Kansas’ PEAK program. It allows businesses to keep state income taxes normally withheld from employees’ paychecks if they create at least five new jobs over a two-year period.

Under the directive announced Friday, the PEAK program could not be used to bring existing jobs from five border counties in Missouri to four counties in Kansas, unless they committed to investing

at least $10 million on a new building. Companies could also get financial aid if they moved and created new jobs in Kansas.

In barring crossborder incentives, the Missouri law doesn’t make any distinctions between new and existing jobs, and it contains no exceptions for new buildings.

Brownback’s proposal and the Missouri law also differ on which counties would be affected. Both would apply to businesses in Cass, Clay, Jackson and Platte counties in Missouri, and Douglas, Johnson and Wyandotte counties in Kansas. But the Kansas proposal adds Ray County to the list of af-

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Intimidation should not be interpreted as leadership More and more, intimidation is being confused as leadership.

In Kansas, state leaders are using intimidating tactics as a means to conduct business, taking the state to unprecedented levels of disrepute.

In the case of education, legislators are daring the handful of Supreme Court justices to use their “hammer” and rule against their decision to cut school funding. Never mind the state constitution and its mandate

for an adequate and equitable education, which Rep. Marc Rhoades, R-Newton, said reeked of “socialism.”

To legislators, it’s a matter of money — not education.

Their goal is to meet budget and to placate voters they are deflecting the blame for education cuts onto the Supreme Court, which it casts as only all too happy to close the state’s public schools with its June 30 deadline to come up with a new school finance formula.

Legislators take umbrage

over what they view as the high court meddling in their affairs. Education is a political issue, they contend.

It shakes one to the core to think what path our state would be on without the checks and balances provided by the Supreme Court.

To that end, legislators have worked tirelessly to emasculate the high court, including its purview — in addition to education, how district court and supreme court justices are appointed — followed by a threat to

defund the entire judicial branch.

Because Gov. Sam Brownback is behind these sinister motives, the danger of these few “bad apples” holding sway over the entire Legislature is increasingly grave.

The most recent votes on public schools — which did nothing to increase their funding — passed overwhelming in both the Senate, 32-5, and House, 93-31.

WHAT IS SORELY lacking in the halls of our state

Capitol is thoughtful discussion and the inherent weighing of pros and cons.

That cannot happen when legislators come to the table already aligned with special interest groups whose goals strike at the very foundation of public education, public health and public services as a whole.

To get our state back on track, we must elect officials whose goals are to serve the greater good, not just those of a select few.

Cruz is less dangerous than Trump WASHINGTON — As Donald Trump stumbles in his bid for the Republican presidential nomination, one group has been sorely disappointed by his belated display of weakness: Democratic operatives, who had been hoping fondly to run against him in November.

Democrats’ delight at the prospect of a Trump candidacy is well-founded. Last week’s Washington PostABC News poll found that an impressive 67 percent of Americans have an unfavorable view of Trump and only 31 percent have a positive view — far worse than Ted Cruz (36 percent positive, 53 percent negative) or Hillary Clinton.

All signs suggest Trump would be an electoral disaster for Republicans, but I won’t join those who for that reason want him to be the Republican nominee. The important thing is not what’s best for Democrats but what’s best for the country — and that means not having a racebaiting demagogue as the nominee of a major party.

I’m no Cruz booster. I’ve called him, at various points, a modern-day McCarthy and a prolific fabulist who isn’t above using an anti-Semitic dog whistle when he condemns “New York values.”

Many of Cruz’s policies — on gay rights, health care and Social Security, for example — are more objectionable than Trump’s.

But Trump isn’t dangerous because he’s conservative. He’s dangerous because he seems willing to govern outside our constitutional system, with his talk of torturing prisoners and targeting innocent civilians, with his winking at violence at his events and his plans to block entry to the United States on the basis of religion.

Clinton is well-positioned to beat either man, but even if Trump is easier to defeat, his nomination alone would be a blow to America’s global standing, which has already

CLEVELAND (AP) — Kyrie Irving scored 31 points in his first playoff game since being injured last year in the NBA Finals and Kevin Love added 28, leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 106-101 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Sunday in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series.

LeBron James added 22 points and 11 assists for the top-seeded Cavs. They are favored to win the Eastern Conference again but got all they could handle from the Pistons.

Love, knocked out of the playoffs with a shoulder injury in the first round a year ago, made two critical 3-pointers in the fourth quarter.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 21 points and Marcus Morris 20 — but just one after halftime — for the Pistons, making their first playoff appearance since 2009. Andre Drummond had 13 points and 11 rebounds.

Detroit made 15 3-pointers, but the Pistons’ playoff inexperience showed in the final minutes.

Game 2 is Wednesday night in Cleveland.

Saturday’s second game against Independence Community College wasn’t quite a must-win game for the Allen Community College softball team in terms of the standings, but the 5-3 victory was a key confidencebuilder for the Red Devils.

Allen was sitting at 0-3 on the weekend following a Friday sweep at the hands of Cowley County Community College and a game-one loss in extra innings to Independence, 4-2.

“Ultimately I wanted a sweep this weekend,” Allen coach Jaime Jensen said. “That didn’t happen. We didn’t make adjustments (Friday) and then See RED DEVILS | Page B6

‘Fun’draiser knocks it out of the park

MLB Baseball: Athletics 3, Royals 2

Royals drop close one to A’s OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Salvador Perez cursed himself. The catcher was charged for a passed ball that resulted in an Oakland run.

“I don’t know what happened, I just missed the ball,” Perez said after the Kansas City Royals lost to the Oakland Athletics 3-2 in Sunday’s series finale. “I messed up that game. If I catch that ball it’s going to be over no problem.

Maybe still tied but ...”

Perez’s teammates didn’t blame him.

“It didn’t bounce up. It kind

of skipped, so it stayed down on him,” reliever Kris Medlen said of the strikeout pitch. “He’s 99 out of 100. It just happened to be that one. I know he’s probably disappointed, but he’s human. Those things happen.”

A ball also eluded Gold Glove first baseman Eric Hosmer, the Royals went 1 for 7 with runners in scoring position and Kelvin Herrera blew a lead.

that was completed last year. The online auction, scheduled for May 2-9, is being run by Dave Webb, a former state representative and senator who now owns Webb & Associates auction house in Stillwell, The Kansas City Star reported.

Except for a few items sent to the state historical society and another museum, the auction will include a lengthy list, such as thousands of feet of trim, hardwood flooring, archways, library ladders and bookcases. The most compelling item is a copper door that protected the staircase leading to the dome, Webb said.

“There’s only one of those ever made, so that is a true, rare item,” Webb said. “I don’t know what they replaced it with. I’m assuming it had to have better security because this just had an old lock on it.”

Webb said he expects

ment. Also included will be curved desks used

by Senate clerks, which are 20-foot wide and will “need a large area to display,” Webb said.

The auction proceeds go to the state. Webb hasn’t set a goal for how much money to bring in.

“I think I can safely assure you it will not balance the state budget,” he said, alluding to the state’s multi-million dollar debt.

The renovation included updating the building’s infrastructure and adding a visitor center and underground parking garage.

Elizabeth Watson, a Maryland-based consultant hired to assess Topeka’s historic preservation plan, said the renovated Statehouse is worthy of consideration for National Historic Landmark status. It is already on the National Register of Historic Places.

Future of state mental hospital in the balance

By JOHN HANNA The Associated Press

OSAWATOMIE, Kan. (AP) — A rolling landscape and tree-dotted vistas belie a flurry of activity at the state mental hospital in eastern Kansas, as administrators and employees work to bring it back into line with federal standards this summer and officials ponder its longer-term future.

Citing a “systemic failure” to protect suicidal patients, adequately supervise care and perform required safety checks, the federal government decertified Osawatomie State Hospital in December. The state is losing up to $1 million a month in federal funds.

Republican Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration hopes to see the hospital recertified by July. But legislators in both parties worry that the short-term focus on meeting federal standards means the state isn’t dealing enough with the longer-term question of whether it has enough hospital beds for the mentally ill.

“That’s part of a much bigger conversation,” said Tim Keck, the interim secretary of the state Department for Aging and Disability Services, which oversees the hospital.

Keck said his department first wants to have federal officials see a decision to recertify the hospital as a “no-brainer” based on a “wholesale change” on its 391-acre campus about 45 miles southwest of Kansas City.

The federal government’s action came after a critical November survey and an employee reported be-

ing raped by a patient in October.

A July 2015 survey forced the state to make renovations designed to eliminate patient suicide risks. The hospital capped its population at 146 patients — 60 fewer beds — in June 2015 to accommodate the work.

The state last month

The discussion about the hospital comes as it approaches the 150th anniversary of receiving its first patient in November 1866.

A largely deserted medical building contains old equipment, including machines used in shock therapy. It also contains cots used in 2014, when

There does not appear to be a look longrange, a master plan, a plan to build out capacity.

— Sen. Laura Kelly, D-Topeka

increased the pay for nurses, and it has filled nearly 60 positions since mid-January. It plans to restart a program in June to train mental health technicians at the hospital’s campus. The department has brought in consultants to improve operations and the planning of patient care.

But Kansas House Majority Leader Jene Vickrey, a Republican from the nearby Louisburg, said the state also needs to put the additional 60 beds back online as soon as possible because, “We’re putting a lot of stress on the entire system.”

The department also has floated the possibility of turning the hospital over to a private company.

Legislators reacted to the idea by adding a provision in the state budget that requires their approval first.

“There does not appear to be a look long-range, a master plan, a plan to build out capacity,” Sen. Laura Kelly, a Topeka Democrat, said after touring the hospital recently.

the population hit 258 and some rooms housed three patients, according to a critical October 2014 survey.

The Associated Press obtained a copy of the survey report and other federal and state documents about the hospital through an open records request. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services first threatened to cut off federal funds in November 2014, when the hospital was 25 percent over its 206-bed capacity.

Other critical reports followed, raising questions about care and nursing shortages.

But state officials stressed that the reported rape and the November survey prompted the federal government to decertify the hospital.

In a February letter to a Democratic legislator later provided to AP, the county prosecutor said the criminal case against the alleged rapist was one of five she filed last year in which patients were charged with battering employees.

How can I safely add junk to my trunk?

Dear Dr. Roach: I have a problem that is opposite many other peoples’. I lost 10 pounds, going from 130 to 120. I am 5 foot 7 inches tall. I would appreciate receiving information on what foods to eat to gain weight. — H.E. Answer: I hear this question occasionally, and it makes me nervous.

Unexplained weight loss has many possible causes, and since they are potentially very serious, it always is worth an evaluation by your doctor.

Weight change in anyone is an issue of calories in against calories out; however, that simple equation hides several important truths. Calories taken in as food are expended as energy. We require a certain number of calories a day to maintain our body functions, perhaps 1,200 or

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health so calories a day, but we may expend many more in activities. Moreover, we can lose calories, both through the intestines (malabsorption, such as sprue) and through the kidney (sometimes protein but most often sugar, in uncontrolled diabetes).

The metabolism also may be increased, especially through an overactive thyroid, but also through active cancer.

(Cancer causes weight loss via several different mechanisms, an important one being suppressing appetite).

Depression is a frequent cause of weight

loss, and it is sometimes not recognized by patient or physician. Eating disorders, especially anorexia nervosa, can cause lifethreatening weight loss, and may go unrecognized.

So, although I certainly could give you a list of high-calorie foods to eat, I’d urge you to get it from your doctor, after a thorough evaluation. I am very concerned by your current weight and your body mass index of 18.8, which puts you into the borderline malnourished zone.

Dear Dr. Roach: In a recent column, you referred to the DNR (do not resuscitate) order. What do you think of having the DNR tattooed on the inner wrist, where hospitals place a plastic band?

— S.B. Answer: I understand this concern very well.

People are concerned that their wishes might not be respected, and at least one study has shown that this is a valid fear, with only 46 percent of DNR decisions by hospitalized patients being understood by their doctors. In fact, I have known not one, but several physicians and nurses with large DNR tattoos on their chests, where the paddles to administer electric shocks would go.

Unfortunately, a tattoo is not necessarily a reflection of a reasoned decision. A recent published article involved a case of a DNR tattoo placed as part of a drinking game, and the person wanted attempted resuscitation.

A tattoo cannot be honored as a legal document.

Speak to your doctor or other provider about your wishes and about documenting them.

Red Devils: Allen wins weekend finale, has 1-3 homestand Continued from B1

the first game (Saturday), we had a bad warm-up, didn’t make adjustments and didn’t pick each other up as a team. We talked about that afterwards. We came out the second game and did everything that we do when we win.�

Independence jumped ahead in the top of the second inning, thanks to scoring an unearned run off of Allen starter Baileigh Rager. After freshman Ali Morris reached base on an error, third baseman Morgan Wayman showed bunt to begin her at-bat. It appeared to be the gameplan to move Morris into scoring position for Mykenna Sharp-Hadl.

Royals

Continued from B1

“Yeah, left a few guys on, had chances, just couldn’t capitalize,� Royals manager Ned Yost said. “Medlen pitched great. He managed his pitch count really, really well. In the seventh inning, you got Kel down there, it’s hard not to bring him into the ballgame.�

Josh Reddick’s sacrifice fly off Joakim Soria broke an eighth-inning tie. Soria (1-1) relieved to start the eighth, Burns tripled into the right-field corner and Reddick flied to center with one out. Burns came across the plate standing up, easily beating Lorenzo Cain’s throw. “He’s got some speed.

That kid’s a nice player.

He runs hard,� Yost said. “We normally play him straight up. We were shading the line there because he very seldom hits balls down the line, but he just hit one perfectly right down the line for a triple.�

Burns said the ball was both close to being caught

by Hosmer and nearly foul. “He was so close to snagging it,� Burns said. “I think it just skipped off the edge of his glove and skipped over the corner of the base.�

John Axford (2-0) induced three consecutive groundouts in the eighth, and Ryan Madson pitched a one-hit ninth for his fourth save in as many chances, retiring Raymond Fuentes on a gameending lineout to first with a runner on second.

Soria lost for the first time since July 11.

Medlen allowed two runs — one earned — two hits and four walks in 6 1/3 innings. He left after Chris Coughlan’s seventhinning double, and pinchhitter Jed Lowrie tied the score 2-2 with a single off Herrera.

Kansas City built a 2-0 lead on Alex Gordon’s RBI single in the second and Mike Moustakas’ homer in the third.

Coco Crisp scored in the fourth on Perez’s passed ball as Coghlan struck out.

TRAINER’S ROOM Royals: Jarrod Dyson went 2 for 2 with a stolen base Sunday in his sixth rehab start for Triple-A Omaha. He is hitting .318 (7 for 22) and has been eligible to come off the disabled list but may remain with the Storm Chasers to get a few more at-bats. He strained his right oblique in his first at-bat of spring training.

UP NEXT Royals: RHP Yordano Ventura (0-0, 2.94) is to open a three-game set against Detroit on Tuesday night. He is 4-0 with a 3.86 ERA and 33 strikeouts in six starts against the Tigers.

That plan failed when Wayman fell behind 0-2 in the count. Now Jensen was faced with a decision; have Wayman try and get the bunt down with two strikes or let the slumping hitter swing away. “She’d been down on herself and in a hitting slump,� Jensen said. Jensen decided to trust Wayman to swing away and the freshman repaid her for that confidence.

Wayman put a Heather Breslin pitch over the leftfield fence and gave Allen a 2-1 lead. “I saw it come in and it was higher than I usually like, but I saw it and it was right down the middle,� Wayman said. “I just squared around and used my legs to get power.�

The Red Devils tacked on another run in the fourth inning.

Morris scored on another Independence error.

The Pirates tied it up in the top of the fifth when they scored two runs and chased Rager from the game. In the bottom of the fifth, Independence recorded two quick outs, before Allen star Ashley Womack came to the plate. Womack squared up

usually hit, but it was just slow enough that I could get my hands on top of it.�
