Judges rule: School funding too low

By JOHN HANNA Associated Press

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas isn’t spending enough money on its public schools to provide a suitable education for every child, a state district court panel ruled Tuesday in an order that could mean the state has to boost its aid by hundreds of millions of dollars a year.

An attempt by Republican Gov. Sam Brownback and the GOP-dominated Legislature to comply with the order would complicate their efforts to close state budget shortfalls and preserve aggressive personal income tax cuts enact-

ed at Brownback’s urging to boost the economy.

The Shawnee County District Court panel declared in its ruling that the current funding is “inadequate from any rational perspective of the evidence.”

“Since the obligations here declared emanate from our Kansas Constitution, avoidance is not an option,” the judges said.

The panel said the evidence suggests base state aid should increase to at least $4,654 per student — which would amount to about $548 million a year. However, the panel also suggested the figure could be much higher.

Kansas is facing predicted

Reaction to ruling mixed TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Groups representing Kansas teachers, parents and school boards say a court ruling on education funding validates their arguments that the state is underfunding its schools.

But the ruling Tuesday from a three-judge panel in Shawnee County District Court drew strong criticism from a conservative think tank.

The ruling says the state isn’t spending enough money on public schools to provide a suitable edu-

The state is expected to appeal the panel’s decision to the Kansas Supreme Court. Attorney General Derek Schmidt See SCHOOLS | Page A3

Marching Mustangs to Alamo Bowl

Betting on 2015

By SPENCER MICHELSON The Iola Register

High school athletes may be on break, but the Marching Mustangs band is going strong.

Tuesday night the music to “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air” rang out across the IHS gymnasium as band members practiced their numbers one last time before boarding the bus to San Antonio, Texas, where they will perform during halftime at the Alamo Bowl.

It was going on three hours of practice, with the clock reading 9:02 p.m. Matt Kleopher, band instructor, had the band go through about a 15-minute program one more time.

“We’ve never played in front of a crowd larger than 1,000 people,” Kleopher said. “Now, we will be playing in front of 60,000 people. And to watch these kids over the past two and a half years and for them to have something like this, is kind of a reward of all the hard work they’ve done.”

The band is playing in its biggest gig yet — the Valero Alamo Bowl halftime show on Friday. It’s only fitting that the college football game would host another school from Kansas — K-State is squaring off against UCLA. Iola’s marching band of 51 students will play with 16 other high school bands from around the country.

“We will all come out on the field together and play the halftime show and go back into the stands after,” Kleopher said. “We’re all going to have two rehearsals as a mass band to practice it together.”

Drum majors Yohon Sinclair and Trilby Bannister will be playing with the band for the first time in quite some time. Their duties during the football and basketball seaSee MUSTANGS | Page A6

cation for every child.

Among the groups praising the decision were Kansas Families for Education, the Kansas Association of School Boards and the Kansas National Education Association. The KNEA is the state’s largest union for teachers.

But President Dave Trabert of the conservative Kansas Policy Institute says the judges ignored facts showing schools are adequately funded and issued a political decision.

Tomorrow, reality hits — at least for those brave enough to make New Year’s resolutions.

In random fashion the Register asked readers whether they make resolutions and what they are.

Here are their responses: Susie McKinnis

The Hutton Family

Carl Slaugh

I do believe in making New Year’s resolutions. Of course, how effective they are depends on the person.

Still, at their most effective they can provide the incentive an individual needs to turn around his or her life.

They give people hope, a sense that the future can be better than the present.

I can’t remember specific New Year’s resolutions that I’ve made, but I do know that, on several occasions, I have felt that sense of hope for the future at the beginning of the year — and that things eventually improved, due at least in part to my changed attitude or actions.

Roxanne Hutton

I always try to make a New Year’s resolution mostly to be better organized.

I believe it motivates me. I would like to say I do change in even a small way, however, I know like everything else we get busy with the daily life challenges and things get moved to the back of our minds.

New Year’s a time for reflection, setting goals Don Erbert

I do believe in New Year resolutions.

I believe that it is a great time to reflect back on the year that is gone and look forward to the year ahead.

Quote of the day Vol. 117, No. 46

I believe that to make a resolution work you have to set a goal. I know a lot of people set goals such as losing weight and such, and that’s all good, but I think the goal should be something interesting or fun.

For example, I want to lose weight. My goal will be this July I’m going to run the Mad Melvin Bomber 5k. So I start working on that and the weight will come off without thinking about losing weight.

“If you asked me for my New Year Resolution, it would be to find out who I am.”

— Cyril Cusack 75 Cents

I don’t believe dieting works.

I don’t believe the word diet should ever be used. Instead let’s get healthy. This changes a person’s entire attitude and approach to losing weight.

each year. And like most folks, we fail miserably.

Dick is resolving (again!) to lose weight.

He has been working out at our fitness center for several weeks.

I am resolving to be more patient. This is a new one for me, and much needed, I’m sure.

Sandy Zornes

With the beginning of a new year, we experience a strong determination that this will be the year we achieve our goals — whether they be new, or unrealized goals from previous years. After a few weeks, though, and possible slip-ups, the resolutions seem pointless and tiring. The resolve is gone, and once again, defeat consumes us.

Maybe try again “next year” .... Or maybe never again!

Personal goals for 2015 Carl Slaugh

I traditionally set new goals each year plus work on some old ones that I did not complete.

This year’s are: Read, study and ponder the New Testament and how to become more Christ like — I team teach the adult Sunday School class and we will be going through the New Testament this year.

Practice the accordion five times a week.

I took three months of lessons in junior high, but was not disciplined to learn or practice much. I hope to place this higher on my priority list so I can at least learn to play “Mary had a Little Lamb,” or “Frosty the

Vince DeGrado

Well, the yearly one is to get back into running, and I’m sure like usual I’ll get started great during this Christmas break, but slowly but surely I’ll stop training and running due to family and career obligations. But my first one is to get back into running.

I’ve been recently reading Dave Ramsey’s “Total Money Makeover.” I plan on implementing a lot of his techniques to help save money. I’m coming to the realization that I’m getting older and I need to start working on my education debt and preparing for my 40s, ha.

Happy New Year!

Deb Tynon,

I make New Year’s resolutions but unfortunately never follow through with them for more that a couple of weeks. There are the usual, get fit, lose weight and my favorite, organize the mess in my house!

This year I am adding “take a trip to somewhere I have never been.” Would love for this one to come to fruition!

Judy Brigham

I am a very big believer in New Year’s resolutions as it gives us all the chance to review the past and plan for the future.

I always reflect upon the past year and make decisions on what I can do to improve my own performance in this world. This year was a true circle of life with the tremendous loss of friends and family, and the joy of those who came into our lives.

My New Year’s resolutions for 2015 will include embracing the endearing traits of those who have passed, and try to bestow those gifts upon those who have entered our lives. I will focus on improving my parental skills for the grandchildren, fine tune my ability to be patient, and most important, practice tolerance.

This community, this country, and the world deserves nothing less than the best that I can be.

There is never a time when there is not an opportunity to say something kind, do something kind, or simply show compassion for others.

I will let you know how I did next year!

The Rev. Jennifer Loeb nities for reflection upon what has past and a consideration of where we want to go in the future.

The New Year is a time of new hope, offering us a chance to start afresh and to move in new directions. I used to make long lists of New Year’s resolutions each year, only to have brushed them off and forgotten about them by February.

So I tried making a short list of just two or three things to focus on, but with the same results.

For the past 10 years or so, I have found something that works very well for me.

At the end of the year, I do a personal inventory, dividing my life into categories such as health (mental, physical, emotional, spiritual); finances; relationships; and career.

I write a summary of highlights of the year and note areas where I’ve made progress, things I need to work on, and in some instances, goals I’d like to strive for.

What this does for me is to honestly take a look at my life, where God is in it, and how I have grown, and where I am stuck. It’s all done with love and grace, allowing myself to make mistakes and learn from them. I actually enjoy reading the past year’s inventories as it paints a marvelous picture of my life. All this is done with prayer and meditation as I ask God for guidance, discernment, and wisdom in the upcoming year.

Robyn Fawson

I love any excuse for a new goal, and a refreshed effort to improve and be better, so I am all for New Year’s resolutions.

Snowman.”

Plan at least one trip to each of our out-ofstate children in Arizona, Utah, Iowa and New York and enjoy time with grandchildren.

Study the Book of Mormon along with the Bible on a regular basis — as opposed to just reading, I hope to keep up a Scripture journal and work on specific things I should personally change or ways to help others through small acts of service.

Organize the garage and get rid of things I have not used in the last year.

Fix the boat motor and actually get the boat in the water and go fishing.

“It is better to shoot for the stars and miss, than to shoot for a pile of manure and hit” is a quote I like. Even if you don’t achieve your goal to perfection, you will improve. And I believe progress really is perfection.

“Be more awesome than you were last year” was our family’s resolution for 2014, and we each wrote down four specific goals under that heading: A physical goal, a mental goal, a social goal, and a spiritual goal. We plan to do that again this year.

that have made more of an impact or given me a reason to want to make a positive change than a New Year’s resolution.

it before it is too late. So, maybe there is still one more Christmas cookie left ...

Happy New Year!

Terri Piazza

Jen Taylor

I’m not sure why but I’ve never really been into making New Year’s resolutions. Perhaps because they seem impossible to keep or because the very act of making them implies that you only think about changing something in your life once a year.

My resolutions tend to come weekly, weighing throughout the year their worthiness and success. These resolutions of course are just as difficult to keep as those made on Jan. 1, but I keep trying! We are, after all, human creatures of habit.

Happy New Year!

For as long as I can remember I have always taken New Year’s resolutions and goal-setting very seriously and have tried to pass that along to my kids.

The first Monday night of each new year is our goal/resolution setting night for our family. We make goals in four different areas every year.

Everyone is welcome to make as many goals as they want in each area, but they have to have at least one in each. We focus on physical, mental, temporal and spiritual goals.

We make posters of each of our goals and

Susan Michael

I do believe in New Year’s resolutions, but I don’t think I always set a realistic goal for myself.

This year, I decided to keep them simple, and that should make them easier to do.

1. Offer more smiles and hugs. If I see someone without a smile, I will give them one of mine. It will make us both feel better.

2. Continue to exercise. I am feeling and looking better, and I can manage my arthritis better when I do.

3. Eat healthier. Give up on some sugar and fast food. (I may not always eat right but I can do better.)

4. Keep in touch with family. You never know when you can’t talk to them anymore.

Terri and Tony Piazza Family Tracy Lee

Sure, I believe in New Year’s resolutions. I’m trying not to spend so much time playing on my phone when I’m with friends and/or love ones.

Whether you are playing a game, texting, checking Facebook, etc., you aren’t really “present” with the people you are in the same room with.

It has become one more bad habit for me, but one I’m going to make a concerted effort to control. In addition to making a New Year’s resolution, if you share your resolutions with others, you tend to be more accountable and stick with it.

post them in our bedrooms where we can see them each day to remind us throughout the year what our goals are. I try to encourage my kids (and myself and Ben) to make their goals doable, but not too easy. It is good to have a mix of those that you know you can reach and then those that will be a stretch.

For physical I try to focus on doing more healthy things: Drinking eight glasses of water a day, eating more fruit and vegetables, exercising at least three days a week. These change

Kara Godfrey

I do make new year’s resolutions. Just yesterday I accomplished one of my 2014 resolutions to read through the entire Bible in one year.

I have read through the Bible many times but never focused on doing it in a certain time frame. This year I used the OwnIt365 Bible plan off the YouVersion Bible App and accomplished the goal. It felt great!

Every year I also set personal goals to do with my health, our family See 2015 | Page A4

each year depending on what I feel I need to do to improve in this area.

For mental I always have the goal to read as many books as I will have candles on my birthday cake that year.

Some years I go way over and other years I barely make it. I also try to focus on learning something new— like research a different country or read so many non-fiction books in my yearly book list.

For temporal I focus on scrapbooking — keeping up, getting a specific kid’s album done, etc., and also trying to do a sewing or craft project every few months, or cleaning out a certain area or organizing an area, or working on a specific part of the house or garden.

For spiritual I focus on consistent and daily scripture reading, prayer, and weekly journal writing.

Looking at my past goals (we keep the posters and I put them in our scrapbooks at the end of each year) and keeping our current year goal posters hanging up in our bedrooms helps to keep us on task. It is a daily reminder of what we need to be doing. Are we ever 100 percent? No, and that is OK and I tell my kids, Ben and myself that too. The important part is you had a plan, you worked on it, and you tried. You may not have succeeded in the way you thought, but the process and the continuing to try are just as important, I think, as being 100 percent successful.

The Nathan and Robyn Fawson Family

I don’t really make resolutions anymore, although the idea of eating healthier and exercising more usually comes up after the last Christmas cookie is gone!

I do try to take stock in my life and think about what is important. I’m at the point that things don’t really matter but people and experiences do. Did I leave things undone or unsaid? Did I make a difference in anyone’s life? Did I learn from my mistakes, show appreciation or say “I’m sorry” if needed?

Do I remember to find joy in simple things like digging around in the garden? Skype with Allison and Eileen often?

Spend enough time with Bob, friends and family? Find the balance between giving my time and taking time for myself ? Let go of frustration, grudges, regret or guilt? Bite my tongue when my opinion isn’t solicited? (OK, that one is really hard and not always attained!)

The New Year is a time for renewal and I do find myself vowing to take more time to enjoy

Schools: Funding inadequate 39,000 Kansans sign up Continued from A1 said his office was evaluating all of its options.

Schmidt said he was “disappointed” by the ruling, and state Senate President Susan Wagle, a Wichita Republican and Brownback ally, said the judicial panel took “a very political and antagonistic posture.”

Brownback said in a statement that he will work with legislative leaders “to determine the best path forward” and suggested rewriting the state’s formula for distributing aid and pursuing other policy changes could get more money into classrooms.

Democratic legislative leaders said the ruling shows the problem isn’t the funding formula but inadequate funding.

“Now it’s time for him to ante up and finally restore dollars back to our classrooms,” said state House Minority Leader Tom Burroughs, a Kansas City Democrat.

Parents of more than 30 students and the

Dodge City, Hutchinson, Wichita and Kansas City, Kansas, school districts sued the state in 2010 after recessiondriven budget problems caused it to back away from promised increases in funding.

The state constitution says the Legislature must make “suitable provision” for financing public schools. The Kansas Supreme Court has declared that state spending must ensure all children get a suitable education.

Kansas spends $13,269 per student in its public schools, but that figure includes federal funds and local property tax dollars. The state’s own base aid — a figure seen by educators as measuring state dollars for classroom and general administrative expenses — is $3,852 per student.

The base aid figure peaked at $4,433 in 2008, and is now 13 percent lower — even as the state increased the total dollars it put into schools to $3.4 billion annually, partly because teacher

for federal insurance

pension costs have risen.

Kansas once promised its base state aid would reach $4,492 per student, and the three-judge panel pegged its lowest figure for what’s adequate to that number, adjusted for inflation since 2012.

The parents and school districts who sued had argued for an even higher base aid figure, but John Robb, a Newton attorney representing them, called Tuesday’s ruling “a great decision for Kansas kids.”

“It recognizes a continuation of a problem we’ve had for decades, of governors and Legislatures underfunding schools,” Robb said.

The three-judge panel said it understands that the state faces “a selfimposed fiscal dilemma” and suggested negotiations among the parties.

Brownback successfully pushed lawmakers to cut the state’s top personal income tax rate by 26 percent and exempt the owners of 191,000 businesses from income taxes altogether. Further cuts are promised.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Federal health officials say 39,023 Kansans signed up for health care coverage through the federally run exchange in the first month of open enrollment.

Those who signed up as of Dec. 15 will have coverage Thursday.

People who sign up by Jan. 15 will be covered beginning Feb. 1.

The Topeka CapitalJournal reports about 57,000 people enrolled

in the exchange in Kansas last year. State officials hope more sign up this year but say it is too early to know if that goal will be met.

People can sign up for individual or family coverage until Feb. 15.

Penalties for not buying insurance will rise to 2 percent of a household’s income or $325 this year, unless the household is exempted because of financial hardship or some other reason.

Deputies seize about 7 pounds of meth MCPHERSON, Kan. (AP) — The McPherson County Sheriff ’s Department says a traffic stop led to the seizure of about 7 pounds of methamphetamine.

Sheriff Larry Powell says in a news release that the drugs were found after a vehicle was stopped Monday

on Interstate 135 near Moundridge.

Deputies found drug paraphernalia in the pickup and impounded the vehicle. The methamphetamine was then found in the truck.

Powell estimated the value of the drugs at $1.75 million.

Erbert: ‘Lots of ways to get healthy’ Continued from A1

I absolutely hate working out. So, for me to get up in the morning and go run I have to think about the results, not the running. In other words I know that after my run I’m going to be excited about how good I feel, so I keep telling myself this.

It makes me want to do it.

I also do a lot of thinking while I’m running.

Where do you think I come up with all my ideas to write about to the Forum?

Also, there are a lot of ways to get healthy. I truly believe cross training is a must. One of my favorite workouts is T-25.

It takes 25 minutes and

the results are amazing. I would like to invite anyone that wants some help to let me know. And when I’m in town you can usually find me in the park on the track at 6:30 a.m., come on down. Believe me, a lifestyle change is not easy. It has to come from within yourself. No one can make you do it.

You have to want to do it.

Once you decide this, it’s really not that hard.

It’s been 10 years since I decided to get healthy and it’s one of the greatest things I’ve ever done.

I’ts been almost 30 years since I quit drinking and 15 years since I’ve smoked. I wish I could teach people how to do it.

2015: Ready to clean the slate Continued from A2

nances, and teaching/ training my children. I usually try to post them in my house somewhere and at my desk at work so I see a daily reminder of them.

I think the daily reminder is key. Too often we set goals on Dec. 31 and can’t even remember them on Feb. 1.

I also get an accountability partner for each goal. Someone that will check with me and see how things are going.

Most times this is my husband or a very close friend.

Along with goals I also usually have a “word” for the year.

Last year my words were “engage” and “follow.”

With the word “engage” I often thought about my relationships with others. Am I truly engaging with them or is it just small talk?

When my kids are talking to me, am I engaged or just half listening, etc. I am not sure what my words will be for 2015. Some that have been coming lately are love and charity.

Elyssa Jackson

My NYR for this year is to take better care of myself — my diabetes, health in general — and to make more time for my relationships with others — my family, friends, and that boyfriend of mine.

I believe that resolutions can help people reframe what’s important to themselves. I have never been one to put so much importance on resolutions that I feel awful if I fail, but try to think of it in a fun way, if I can.

One year, my resolution was to celebrate holidays from other cultures in order to understand more about the world around me and my friends. This was when I was maybe 15 or 16. I was able to complete what I wanted to, it was a hard Lent (never give up potatoes) and an interesting Ramadan (especially in a post 9/11 world), and enjoyed it.

As for losing weight or getting rid of bad habits, I know myself too well. I just try to continue to be who I always wanted to be: myself.

The Lisa and Joel Wicoff family really change from year to year. I haven’t made much progress, I guess.

However, I still like to make a list each year.

If nothing else, it’s like a self-evaluation of the last year, and a roadmap for next.

As Clara only has a year and a half at home, and Isaiah will be gone shortly after that, this year’s resolutions have also made me evaluate my job as a parent. Do they have the skills they need to be independent?

Am I preparing my kids to be good people? Are we going to be able to help them with college expenses? Can they fix a flat, stop a leak, fix a mistake without our help? I think with this deadline, I am more motivated this year to change and stop putting off until tomorrow what I can start today.

Here is my list in no particular order: 1. Health — Lose 10 lbs. (I really need to lose about 50, yikes!) I still have the baby weight I gained from Isaiah, who will be 15 on Jan. 5. Dr. Stone told me that even 10 pounds would make my hip feel much better, so instead of going for all I need to lose, I’m going to focus on 10 pounds. Go for a walk once a week.

Get kids off of pop completely. We don’t keep it at home, but they are Sonic Happy Hour regulars. Joel and I rarely drink pop already.

Serve more vegetables at home.

2. De-stress. Declutter one room per month.

Eliminate paper clutter.

Throw away junk mail as soon as it is received.

Opt in for email communication and opt out of junk mail on website that lets me do so.

Less screen time for me and kids.

Deschedule. Cut out

I came across a plaque the other day that has become my resolution for 2015: “Take Your Place….

Make Your Mark….Live Your Life.”

While I usually don’t pay attention to New Year resolutions and have never really made one, I am making this my new mantra and plan to refer to it daily.

In fact, the plaque is now hanging in my office.

We all need balance in our lives and I plan to creatively work toward it in 2015. Do good work, be proud of it, but also remember to live life to the fullest, that is my plan.

activities that I only go to out of guilt and enjoy more down time with my family. Practice saying “My plate is full” and say it when it is full.

3. Budget— make one and stick to it, also help the kids make their own.

4. Parenting — be a model. No whining or complaining, exhibit self-control and stickto-it-ness. Be more firm about chores and follow through with consequences. Encourage them to do what they can for themselves by themselves, let them make mistakes. That’s hard.

I’ve been wearing a bracelet someone gave me that says “positivity” on it when I substitute teach, trying to remind myself to be more positive. It actually has helped me be more positive, I think.

5. Marriage — make time with Joel a priority in our crazy schedule. Revive some old traditions — date night, birthday fishing trip, reading aloud to each other.

I’m not a huge believer in New Year’s Resolutions. I believe more in everyday resolutions.

Always striving to be the best I can be every day and forgiving myself on those days where I can’t live up to that expectation. Then starting again the next day.

I am much better at birthday resolutions.

I pick a few things or areas in my life that I really want to focus on in the next year, while looking back at what I was able to accomplish in my prior year.

I feel that New Year’s resolutions tend to set people up for failure.

They put so much emphasis on these big resolutions that are often unachievable and then they can’t live up to their goals. I feel that if people set more realistic, achievable goals in their day-today lives, they would be happier with themselves and feel more successful.

I see a lot of resolutions go by the wayside around Jan. 15 through Feb. 1, especially resolutions about working out or eating differently. If those same people decided to work on smaller goals into each month, for instance, instead of completely changing their diet, they cut one food out each month that is unhealthy for them and succeeded each month in doing so ... by the end of the year they will have cut out 12 unhealthy foods and it will have become a habit that they can continue.

That is success and something they can be proud of achieving.

I’ve worked in environments with unachievable goals and it doesn’t make you want to work harder; it discourages you. If you can create achievable, meaningful goals that you know with a bit of discipline you can complete, then I think that is much more rewarding than one big New Year’s resolution.

At the same time, I think anyone who wants to set goals to better themselves or their communities, whether as a New Year’s resolution or as a day-by-day goal, should be encouraged and supported.

We need a population ready to work at bettering their lives and the lives of those around them and if that starts with a New Year’s resolution, I’m all about supporting their efforts!

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Judges rule school funding inadequate; appeal likely to follow Though it comes as no surprise, the ruling Tuesday that Kansas schools are inadequately funded will have many state lawmakers acting with outrage and alarm.

The lawsuit, Gannon v.

State of Kansas, in fact has been in the works since 2010, when the parents of more than 140,000 students and 52 school districts, including Iola’s and Humboldt’s, objected to the state cutting school funding by $511 million per year rather than adhering to a funding formula established in 1992.

Earlier this year, the Kansas Supreme Court ruled school funding was out of whack. Legislators agreed — though we use the term generously — and eased the property tax burden for poorer school districts by $129 million.

The high court then redirected a three-judge panel from the Shawnee County District Court to decide whether the funding formula remains a good one and if so, whether it is being funded to provide each and every Kansas student an adequate education.

In Tuesday’s decision the judges also revisited the issue of fairness. In no uncertain terms, the judges said, having school districts take increasing responsibility for their school budgets puts an unfair burden on

the poorer districts and violates the state constitution.

Increasing “local control and local funding choices” does not guarantee adequate nor equitable funding for all Kansas children, they said.

The judges did not specify what they considered to be adequate funding for state schools, but said “evidence suggests” it be $4,654 per student — slightly above the rate set in 2008.

Today, base aid per student is $3,852, $802 below what is recommended.

The judges recognize the difficult situation this puts legislators and their “selfimposed fiscal dilemma,” caused by their massive tax cuts provided for many businesses and individuals.

Had legislators respected their obligation to uphold the constitution, perhaps they would have not cut taxes so drastically in the first place.

Instead of following through with the panel’s recommendations, it’s a sure bet Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt will appeal the decision to the Kansas Supreme Court, postponing any definitive action for at least another year.

Meanwhile, education in Kansas will be left to founder.

HUMBOLDT — Harvey Orcutt is fascinated by history. The small museum he is building behind his house reflects that interest. Set into

a small building behind the Orcutt home at 1214 Bridge St. are an old-fashioned saloon, a general store and a cobbler’s shop, with a ModelT workshop and blacksmith shop under way. Orcutt’s collection of artifacts includes more than 200 tools, coffee grinders, apple corers, corn shellers and grocery items that line the back wall of the general store part of the museum. He doesn’t charge visitors.

Funding KPERS should take priority The Brownback administration wants the Legislature to look again at privatizing the state’s pension plan. But as with previous reviews, lawmakers likely will conclude that privatization is impractical and that the main problem with the pension plan is that the state keeps underfunding it — as Gov. Sam Brownback is doing again this year.

State budget director Shawn Sullivan and Secretary of Administration Jim Clark urged a joint legislative committee last week to study possible reforms of the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System, including having a private insurer manage KPERS, moving to a 401(k)-style plan for new workers, and issuing up to $1.5 billion in bonds to help reduce KPERS’ unfunded liability.

The insurer option would involve outsourcing KPERS’ liability to a private company through a process called annuitization. The insurer would convert the pension obligation into annuities and assume the long-term financial risk for a fee.

Some private businesses have used this process, but KPERS officials are not aware of any state pension plan that has done it. The biggest obstacle is that KPERS is currently only about 60 percent funded.

Thus, it is unlikely that a private insurer would want to

More ‘efficient’ system flawed A system that is more efficient but collects fewer child support dollars for Kansas families doesn’t seem like a step in the right direction.

In September 2013, the state turned child support collection duties over to private vendors in an effort to boost collections. Last month, a Topeka newspaper used an open records request to obtain data showing that the percentage of current child support payments collected by the state during federal fiscal year 2014 was lower than in 2013. In fact, it was the lowest percentage collected by the state since 2000, and a lower actual dollar amount than in 2013.

The collection percentage for past-due child support also fell to a 13-year low.

In FFY2014, which runs from Oct. 1 to Sept. 30, the state contractors collected

54.04 percent of current support, the lowest percentage since 2000, when the state had a 48.17 collection rate. And, although the amount of current support due grew in 2014, the actual dollars collected fell to $130.6 million, about $4 million less than was collected in 2013. From 2013 to 2014, the percentage of past-due support collected dropped from 62.62 percent to 60.14 percent.

Asked about the privatized collection system, Gov. Sam Brownback said, “thus far, we’ve had good overall results,” and noted that “collection levels haven’t been that much increased” (actually they have decreased). He proudly pointed to the fact that declining state costs resulted in higher payments to the people who did receive support. During 2014, Kansas collected $5.89 for

every $1 it spent, compared to $4.12 for every $1 it spent in 2013.

Officials with the Department for Children and Families argue that the first year of privatization “was all about getting this costeffectiveness number up” and that collection rates will improve with time.

BETTER cost-effectiveness may be good for the people who received support, but it’s cold comfort for the people who didn’t.

The move toward privatizing government functions has gained considerable favor among state officials in recent years as a way to cut costs and improve efficiency. Those are both good goals, but they shouldn’t come at the expense of reduced services and benefits for Kansas residents.

assume responsibility for the plan — at least not without charging a large fee.

The 401(k) idea is proposed nearly every year. It’s appealing to many lawmakers because the state would no longer be responsible for guaranteeing a defined benefit.

The 401(k) idea is proposed nearly every year. It’s appealing to many lawmakers because the state would no longer be responsible for guaranteeing a defined benefit.

If the state were starting its pension plan from scratch, it likely would adopt a definedcontribution plan. But the state legally can’t change KPERS for people already in the system, so the new plan would apply only to new hires.

And one challenge of shifting new hires to a different plan is that their employee contributions to KPERS help pay benefits of current retirees.

Removing those contributions could make KPERS’ financial problems even worse.

BORROWING MORE money could help pay for this transition and prop up KPERS. It’s also possible that the state could use the bond revenue to reduce its payments to KPERS while it is trying to dig its way

might be leery of purchasing these bonds and demand a higher interest rate.

The Legislature significantly reformed KPERS in 2012.

Those reforms, which had strong bipartisan support, required both the state and employees to increase their contributions and created a hybrid “cash-balance plan” for employees hired after Jan. 1, 2015.

The increased payments put the state on a path to fully fund KPERS by 2033. The priority for the state should be staying on that path, not passing new reforms or going backward as Brownback is doing by diverting nearly $41 million from KPERS to help pay for his tax cut.

Dillon: The end of an era The way David Dillon closed out his remarkable career with Kroger and Dillons Stores was a class act. Returning to the store where he worked his first job with the company was his finale. There will be no more grocers named Dillon for the first time since J.S. Dillon, David Dillon’s grandfather, founded the company in 1913.

The company’s phenomenal growth during the past century is well documented. The name Dillon is synonymous with Hutchinson, as well it should be. Dillons grew from its roots here until it was bought by Kroger in 1983. Since then, Kroger merged with Fred Meyer Inc. in 1999 to become the nation’s largest supermarket company.

And who was a part of all of that? David Dillon.

With Dillons Stores, he had been vice president for merchandising and warehousing from 1977 to 1983 when the company was acquired by Kroger.

He had various executive

positions within Kroger until he was named president and chief operating officer in 1995. In 2003, he became chief executive officer. A year later he was elected chairman of the board.

Dillon retired as CEO in December 2013 but remained as chairman for another year, retiring for good at the end of this year. It was an impressive run.

“He’s gone a lot further and a lot longer,” said Paul Dillon of Hutchinson, his father. “But he always loved the grocery business. He was always tagging along with us at Christmas making gift baskets in the warehouse.”

To say he worked his way up the ladder is an understatement. When he was 15, he worked in the warehouse and the store. The next year he was bagging groceries.

Then came the big move — to checker.

“Everybody aspired to be a checker,” he said

while in Hutchinson last week.

It was quite the ride that David Dillon took through the grocery business. He ended up at the top as chairman and CEO of the largest chain in the nation. But he never forgot his roots.

That’s why, as he was retiring, he came home to Hutchinson, which he calls “a special place.” He visited all the stores to say goodbye, but he saved the one at 1319 N. Main for last. That’s where he started bagging groceries as a boy. And he bagged groceries there Tuesday.

“It’s a symbolic gesture,” he said. “But the point I wanted to make to our organization is that it’s really a noble profession to be a grocer. I thought of myself my entire life as a grocer, where the idea is just to be of service to people.”

Noble profession and noble man, indeed.

Science standards critics appeal ruling TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A nonprofit group that contends science standards for Kansas public schools promote atheism has appealed a federal judge’s dismissal of its lawsuit against the guidelines.

sons are to direct the band.

“It’s going to be a lot different playing our halftime show because I haven’t played in the last year,” Bannister said.

Sinclair was right there with her.

“I’m really excited to be back on the field to play the halftime show,” Sinclair said.

Both earned the role of drum major by going through an interview with Kleopfer for the positions.

“It was like a job interview,” Bannister said. “He asked us why we thought we qualified to be a drum major and the sacrifices we would be willing to make for this huge commitment.”

“We’re going to be corralling everyone and telling them where they’re supposed to be,” Sinclair explained about their upcoming roles in San Antonio.

Kleopfer said the band has been rehearsing the songs they’ll play at the bowl game for about the past month.

“We put in a threehour rehearsal tonight, three hours tomorrow, three hours the next day, then they play the

Guidelines will help judges TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Kansas Supreme Court is studying proposed guidelines for judges grappling with people who file repetitive, malicious or frivolous pleadings.

The recommendations by the judicial branch’s Access to Justice Committee are meant to act as a resource for judges when considering filing restrictions in court cases. The state’s highest court is taking public comments until February 2015 on the 18-member committee’s report that outlines state and federal court precedent and advice for judges when confronted with difficult litigants.

Committee member Edward Bouker, who also serves as a district court judge told The Topeka Capital-Journal that the guidelines seek to balance management of court dockets while respecting a person’s constitutional rights.

The guidelines say a judge should provide litigants a chance to present their objections to proposed restrictions. After considering the litigant’s response, a judge should weigh whether he or she should impose filing restrictions.

The judge must then provide explanations that explain why restrictions were justified and detail limits placed on the litigants in the context of future court filings.

With the music wrapping up, it was time for the band to pack up and

in Denver, along with parents and taxpayers opposed to the standards.

They’re seeking to overturn a decision earlier this month by U.S. District Judge Daniel Crabtree rejecting their claim that the standards violate the religious freedoms of students and parents.

Crabtree ruled that

the opponents of the standards did not allege specific enough injuries from their adoption last year by the State Board of Education’s to allow the lawsuit to proceed.

The guidelines treat both evolution and climate change as key scientific concepts to be taught starting in kindergarten.

Oubre Jr. helps No. 13 Kansas beat Kent State

By AMIE JUST Associated Press

LAWRENCE, Kansas (AP) — With all else failing on offense for Kansas, Kelly Oubre Jr. took control of the game.

Oubre scored 20 points and No. 13 Kansas beat Kent State 78-62 on Tuesday night.

“I just got into a rhythm early,” Oubre said. “I was just playing in the confines of the game.”

He started out hitting his first six shots, including all four of his 3-pointers.

“He absolutely carried us in the first 10 minutes of the game,” Kansas coach Bill Self said.

This was the second game in the last three where Oubre scored at least 20 points. He had 23 in Kansas’ win over Lafayette on Dec. 20. With the near backto-back performances, Self said Oubre solidified his starting position.

“Oubre, who I know didn’t start early in the year, he was unbelievable in the first half,” Kent State coach Rob Senderoff said.”

I’m sure he’s just scratching the surface.”

Perry Ellis added 15 for Kansas (10-2). Blunders and bloopers were evident early for Kansas. On the first possession of the game, Oubre turned the ball over. Wayne Selden Jr. missed a dunk.

The entire team ended up on the floor going after a loose ball.

“I thought the first half, the first 12 minutes, we didn’t play very well at all,” Self said.

Everyone but Oubre had shooting woes. Excluding the freshman’s perfect first half, Kansas was 10 of 30.

When the Golden Flashes were called for a foul, the Jayhawks only made 3 of 8 free throws. Kent State

wasn’t any better. They only shot 25 percent from the line.

Some of the woes continued after intermission for each team.

Kansas allowed five offensive rebounds for Kent State in the second half along with six-second chance points. Kansas also had eight turnovers in the half.

When Allen Fieldhouse was starting to grow quiet, Cliff Alexander dunked life into the crowd. He scored six-straight points in 58 seconds and helped guide a 12-2 run that put Kansas up by 21 points.

“Cliff ’s playing like how Cliff plays,” Oubre said. “Every time Cliff ’s in the game it pumps us up because he’s getting rebounds, dunks. Everything he does is really athletic.

That’s what he does.”

Kent State tried charging back in the final four minutes, but the deficit was too big.

“I didn’t think our shot selection was great,” Kent State coach Rob Senderoff said. “We fouled a little bit too much, we couldn’t get enough rebounds.”

Three of Kent State’s final points of the game came off a 3-pointer from Blake Vedder, a 7-foot-4 center.

The final basket of the game was a breakaway layup from Tyler Self, the son of coach Self. It was his first of the season. Self joked about how his son went up with his right hand on the left side of the basket.

“It was good that somebody off our scout team made a basket,” Self said.

Jimmy Hall scored 13 points and eight rebounds, and Khaliq Spicer added 11 points and five rebounds for Kent State (8-4).

Kansas hosts UNLV on Sunday at 3:30 p.m.

Notre Dame upsets No. 22 LSU on last second field goal NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Notre Dame and senior kicker Kyle Brindza got the finish they had missed too often the last half of the season. Beating a Southeastern Conference team in southern territory only made it that much sweeter.

Brindza hit a 32-yard field goal as time expired, and Notre Dame upset No. 22 LSU 31-28 in a Music City Bowl shootout Tuesday.

“This was a matchup that we had wanted at Notre Dame, and I know LSU felt the same way,” Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said. “We wanted to be challenged. We were disappointed in the way we played obviously at the end of the year, and our guys wanted the opportunity to finish the season the right way.”

The Tigers were unsuccessful on a fake field goal at the end of the first half, a call that stood on review even though

replays appeared to show the ball crossing the goal line.

The Fighting Irish (8-5) also blocked a 40-yard field goal attempt by Trent Domingue early in the fourth quarter.

Kelly watched the fake field goal on the video board and thought the Irish stopped holder Brad Kragthorpe short.

LSU coach Les Miles thought Kragthorpe scored and wasn’t happy the play wasn’t overturned for a touchdown. Miles also wasn’t pleased at the lack of better replays that might have shown Kragthorpe got the ball over the line before his knee went down.

“The guy that carried the ball, forcing it, said he absolutely scored,” Miles said.

“Kids will be kids, but this guy’s going to tell the truth.”

Notre Dame got the ball with 5:41 left and never gave it back, driving 71 yards in 14 plays before Brindza finished off the win.

Georgia routs Louisville 37-14

By STEVE REED AP Sports Writer

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — When quarterback Hutson Mason went down with an injury in the second quarter, Georgia coach Mark Richt said the Bulldogs turned to plan B. “Just give it to Nick,” Richt said with a wide smile.

Freshman Nick Chubb took over from there, running for a career-high 266 yards and two touchdowns as No. 13 Georgia defeated 20th-ranked Louisville 37-14 in the Belk Bowl on Tuesday night.

Chubb’s rushing total was second highest in school history, behind only Herschel Walker’s 283 yards rushing against Vanderbilt in 1980.

“That’s a blessing being in the same sentence with him,” Chubb said. “He’s a great running back. But I had an awesome line up front making everything possible for me. I’m thankful for everyone around me and it’s been a great season.”

With Chubb and four starting offensive linemen returning next season, the Georgia running game appears to be in good hands — even with Todd Gurley headed to the NFL. Chubb finished his first season at Georgia by running for 1,323 yards and 12 touchdowns in last eight games after taking over as the primary ball carrier after the NCCA suspended Gurley for four games for taking $3,000 for autographed memorabilia and other items over two years. Gurley later sustained a season-ending knee injury in his first game back from the suspension.

Chubb averaged 8 yards per carry against Louisville and the Bulldogs (10-3) piled up 301 yards rushing against the nation’s second-best run defense.

“He showed everybody in the country that he’s a pretty talented kid, a tough kid,”

Our young quarterbacks learned that when you call plays and nobody is open you have to throw the ball away and move on to the next play.

— Bobby Petrino, Louisville coach

Richt said.

He even impressed Louisville coach Bobby Petrino.

“He’s hard to tackle and has great vision,” Petrino said.

“There were a number of times when we had guys there to make plays and he just ran over them. They also have a very good offensive line.”

Mason threw for 149 yards and a touchdown before leaving with blurred vision in the second quarter with the Bulldogs ahead 20-7. He was replaced by Brice Ramsey, whose primary duty was to hand the ball off to Chubb and watch him run.

Mason said after the game he didn’t have a concussion, but couldn’t see straight.

“Right now, I can look straight ahead and tell that, hey you have a blue scarf on,” Mason said to a reporter.

“But beforehand, I couldn’t even tell you were right there.

It was just super, super blurry. That’s dangerous when you’re out there and need your peripheral vision. The last thing I needed to do was go out there and take another shot, because my awareness wasn’t up to par.”

Georgia’s defense certainly contributed to the win.

They came up with three interceptions, two of those by Dominick Sanders.

Redshirt freshman quarterback Kyle Bolin made his first career start for Louisville (94) and finished 20 of 40 for 300 yards with two interceptions and one touchdown. Backup Reggie Bonnafon threw one interception in limited playing time.

Brandon Radcliff ran for 91

yards and a touchdown.

“Our young quarterbacks learned that when you call plays and nobody is open you have to throw the ball the away and move on to the next play,” Petrino said.

The Bulldogs leaned heavily on the 5-foot-10, 228-pound Chubb after Mason left the game and Ramsey was intercepted on his first play from scrimmage.

Louisville’s defense came into the game allowing just 93.7 yards per game on the ground. Chubb nearly had that in the first half, rushing for 78 yards on 12 carries and a touchdown. He added an 82yard run in the second half that led to another Georgia score.

Richt said Ramsey, who could be Georgia’s starting quarterback next season, made a few mistakes during the game but “overall he secured the ball well.”

The Bulldogs roared to a 20-7 lead in the first half as Mason found wide open flanker Chris Conley down the middle of the field for a 44-yard touchdown strike for a 7-0 lead. Chubb added a 31yard scoring run.

The Bulldogs (10-3) made it a three-possession game late in the third quarter when Chubb broke free from his own 3 and raced 82 yards, setting up a 2-yard touchdown run by Sony Michel. Chubb later sealed the win with a 8-yard touchdown run.

Louisville’s only scores came on an 11-yard scoring strike from Bolin to Gerald Christian and a 6-yard run by Radcliff.

JOSHUA SASSE OF ‘GALAVANT’ ON ABC

Was filming the ABC musical comedy series “Galavant” as much fun as it looks?

Yes, it was a lot of fun. It was incredibly tiring and incredibly trying due to the nature of simultaneously acting, singing, sword-fighting and horse-riding and dancing. That was a lot. ... But it was, thank God, nothing but laughter on set every day, and that just helps you get through the days. It was hilarious. ... Some of the things you say, trying to get them out of your mouth is impossible.

JANUARY 4

9:30 10:00 10:30 11:00

Did you have to learn how to ride a horse for this?

No, luckily I’ve been riding my whole life. I haven’t ridden with a lance or sword in my hand (chuckles), so I had to do a lot of training to learn how to joust, which was really interesting, and riding a horse in a suit of armor, and it was great, it was fun and it was a wonderful experience.

You once did a London stage production of “Mamma Mia!” How did you like that?

Well, it taught me a lot. It’s no mean feat doing a Broadway show or a West End show. It’s like running a marathon for a year, for 13 months. And you don’t forget those muscles. You know, they’re hard-won and they stay with you. I have the utmost respect for anyone who treads the boards on the West End or on Broadway because doing eight to 10 shows a week every single week for 13 months, you finish a different person, and it takes an incredible amount of resilience.

Osteoporosis could be cause of bent neck Dear Dr. Roach: One day, I woke up and my neck was bent forward.

Now my chin almost touches my chest. How much worse can this get? One doctor said he may have to break my neck and reset it. I can’t look people in the face anymore; I’m looking at their belt buckle. — R.W. Answer: I can think of several reasons why your neck may be bent forward. One is a muscle problem. A severe muscle spasm in the neck can force the neck into an unnatural position, often very painful to move.

This can go on for weeks.

However, most people can force their neck into a normal position.

The second is a nerve problem. Cervical dysto-

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health nia is the most important of these. Dystonia can present itself with the neck pointing to the side, forward or backward. It typically gets better and then worse, and is associated with sustained muscle contractions.

The third, and most likely cause, is a skeletal problem. Kyphosis is the term for an abnormal forward deformity of the spine. There are numerous causes, but in older men, the most likely is osteoporosis, which can cause very severe kypho-

sis, especially when in conjunction with vertebral fractures. I wonder if you had a vertebral compression fracture that made things suddenly worse.

Unfortunately, surgery for kyphosis has a very high complication rate and shouldn’t be considered unless you are facing serious impediments, such as difficulty breathing or intractable pain. The best treatment is an exercise program. An orthopedic surgeon or physiatrist could make precise recommendations for your physical therapist.

Dear Dr. Roach: What can be done to slow down glaucoma? — A.H. Answer: Glaucoma is an eye disease caused

by damage to the optic nerve. The most common type in older adults is open-angle glaucoma, where the pressure inside the eye is high, probably due to increased fluid production combined with decreased outflow.

Open-angle glaucoma can and should be treated in order to prevent progressive loss of vision. Reducing the pressure inside the eye reduces the risk of vision loss. This can be accomplished through medication — usually drops such as prostaglandins, which increase fluid outflow, or other drops like beta blockers, which reduce fluid production.

Glaucoma also may be treated with laser therapy or surgery.

Chiefs head into offseason with potential changes

By DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; At first glance, the Kansas City Chiefs appear poised to make a strong postseason run next season. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve solidified the quarterback spot, have several young stars under contract, and came within a hair of making the postseason this year.

Delve a little deeper and the offseason outlook changes considerably.

Their offensive line is in dire need of upgrades.

So is their wide receiver corps, where Dwayne Bowe has failed to live up to his massive contract.

Outside linebacker Tamba Hali could be forced to restructure his big contract or be cut, and fellow pass rusher Justin Houston â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who just set the franchise record with 22 sacks this season â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is a pending free agent.

The Chiefs wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be busily preparing for a playoff game, but general manager John Dorsey and coach Andy Reid certainly have plenty of other work ahead of them.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think there is any one thing that you can say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;OK, this is how weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be better next year,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt said after Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season-ending win over San Diego. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get into evaluation mode right away. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have free agency and the draft right around the corner.

And the key is weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to come back a better football team next year.â&#x20AC;?

That didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily happen this year.

After winning 11 games and qualifying for the playoffs in Reidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first season, Kansas City backtracked to 9-7. Yet the Chiefs were still in the postseason hunt until Sunday, when two outcomes they needed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Baltimore and Houston losing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; failed to transpire.

Not even a season-ending victory over San Diego did them any good. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit of an empty feeling as far as winning the game but not having the opportunity to go to the playoffs,â&#x20AC;? Reid said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some good things we can learn from that.â&#x20AC;?

Namely, taking care of business in the second half of the season.

Kansas City started

7-3 and was barreling toward a first-round bye.

But just like last year, the Chiefs fell into a tailspin and were never quite able to pull out of it.

Now, as the Chiefs head into the offseason, here are some of the key story lines: HOUSTONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S MONEY: No. 1 with an asterisk is the fate of Houston, who is poised for a big payday after his record-setting season. Only Michael Strahan has had more sacks in an NFL season, and that was by a half.

The Chiefs spent last offseason negotiating with his representatives on a long-term deal, but the two sides were never close. If nothing else, the Chiefs could franchise him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to give us a window to lay out that plan here in the next four to five days, to be able to move in a proper direction,â&#x20AC;? Dorsey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to make those hard decisions.â&#x20AC;?

HEALTH

CHECK:

Alex Smith expects to be ready for the offseason program after lacerating his spleen in the Chiefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; penultimate game. Meanwhile, Reid said linebacker Derrick Johnson and defensive

Mike DeVito were making progress in their return from torn Achilles tendons.

BERRYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S

FUTURE:

Eric Berry is continuing treatment for Hodgkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lymphoma, leaving his future with the team in question. The star safety is due more than $8 million next season, the final year of his current contract â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a big salary cap number for someone unlikely to play a game.

season-ending injury in Week 1. There are massive holes at guard and right tackle, and potentially at center, where Rodney Hudson is a free agent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not really thinking about that right now,â&#x20AC;?

Hudson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Take some time, reflect on the season a little bit, get a little rest and figure all that out.â&#x20AC;?

WIDE

RECEIVER

Bowe struggled all season and could be released. If that happens, the Chiefs would free up cash but lose one of their only playmakers. Upgrading at wide receiver will be just as important as fixing the offensive line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatever happens, happens,â&#x20AC;? Bowe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a great player.

I did a lot here in the city and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all I can look forward to.â&#x20AC;?
