Rare butterflies provide unique study opportunities at university

By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

When it comes to butterflies, it takes a lot to shock Orley “Chip” Taylor, director of Kansas University’s Monarch Watch on West Campus.

But when Taylor first noticed two white mutants among the monarch butterflies that his students were raising about three month ago,

he was taken aback.

“I’ve been doing this since I was 6 or 7 and I’ve never seen a white monarch,” Taylor said. “They are so rare we only hear of one to two reported every other year among the tens of thousands of people who rear butterflies.”

The white monarchs stray from the species’ normal orange appearance,

Topeka — Kansas lawmakers began debating a bill Monday that calls for the most sweeping changes since 1992 in the way Kansas funds its public schools, with plans for both chambers to vote on the bill later this week.

Representatives from several school districts and other education groups lined up in the House Appropriations Committee to testify against the bill, which would repeal the 1992 school finance formula and replace it with a system of “block grants” for the next two years while lawmakers try to craft a new formula. LEGISLATURE “While I’m confident that this committee values high quality education and wants to sustain our system, this bill that’s before you does nothing to advance that end,” said Kansas City, Kan., School Superintendent Cynthia Lane.

The Lawrence school board at its Monday meeting approved a 15year, 95 percent tax abatement for an expansion of the Eldridge Hotel.

Eldridge officials requested the same deal from the City Commission and Douglas County Commission in February. The city gave preliminary approval while the county signed off on a 15-year, 85 percent abatement.

The item was included on the seven-member school board’s consent agenda, meaning it and over a

dozen other items were approved unanimously in one fell swoop without discussion.

The abatements will be issued through the Neighborhood Revitalization Act, or NRA. “In general, a rebate of incremental tax revenue has very little impact on school district revenue,” Superintendent Rick Doll wrote in the agenda packet for the meeting. “ … The board of education has typically supported the requests for NRA designation at the same level as the city.”

If you’re a Douglas County homeowner, chances are the Tax Man thinks your property is worth a little bit more than it was a year ago. If you’re a Douglas County farmer, odds are good that the Tax Man thinks your property is worth quite a bit more.

About 53 percent of all residential property owners in the county saw the appraised value — the amount used to figure property taxes — of their property increase in 2014, according to the county appraiser’s office.

About 13 percent of homeowners saw their values hold steady for the year, while the remaining 34 percent saw a decline in value.

in the county,” said Steven Miles, Douglas County appraiser. “And those homes in the $150,000 to $250,000 price range had a little bit of a stronger year than others.”

The majority of properties that had an increase in value recorded increases of less than 5 percent.

Miles, whose office essentially tracks every real estate transaction in the county, said he’s not seeing a major heating up of the real estate market.

“There have been quite a few starts and stops in the local market, and I think that has been a bit frustrating to people who have tried to follow the market,” Miles said.

Agricultural land is the one type of property to see a significant upward trend. Miles said many pieces of agricultural land saw values increase by 11 percent or more in 2014. The tax value of agricultural land is based on a rolling eight-year average of income produced by the land. Miles said the income numbers have about a two-year lag time, which means some of the record commodity prices that were seen a couple of years ago are just now starting to be factored into tax values.

Many commodity prices are no longer at those high levels, but Miles said it will take a couple of years for today’s lower commodity prices to be factored into tax bills.

“I’ve already heard from several farmers who say they aren’t doing as well this year,” Miles said.

In the commercial real estate market, price trends were mixed. Miles said there were several sales of apartment complexes that pushed the value of those newer apartment complexes higher. Other commercial types of property, however, were a bit flat. Miles said his office had not yet seen signs that downtown development along New Hampshire street was starting to increase the value of surrounding properties.

Tim Keller, an appraiser for the private firm Keller Craig & Associates, said such an increase may be on the way, but was tough to predict because there were very few sales of downtown property in 2014.

“You would expect it to increase the property values down there, but right now I think people are just holding on to their properties,” Keller said.

Keller said he is starting to see some signs of a rebound in Lawrence’s office market.

“I think the office market is definitely in a recovery phase,” Keller said.

“We have gotten through the troubled properties.

People who had to sell their properties already have sold them.”

Budget makers at Lawrence City Hall, the Douglas County Courthouse and in smaller towns and townships across the county watch appraised value levels carefully.

The values help determine how much money property tax rates will generate. Miles said the latest numbers show the overall assessed valuation for the county is up 3.1 percent compared to the prior year.

That number is expected to decline some as property owners file appeals, but the percentage increase is greater than it has been in recent years Most of the increase is coming from new construction, Miles said. He noted that 2013 was a major year for construction, with a downtown hotel and several apartment complexes built. As those projects got completed in 2013, they began fully showing up in property valuations in 2014.

Property owners have until March 30 to file for an informal appeal hearing with the appraiser’s office. That’s the first step in appealing a property’s value. Property owners can contact the appraiser’s office at the County Courthouse at 11th and Massachusetts streets for more details on filing an appeal.

“This formula’s been around since 1992,” said KPI Vice President James Franko. “I think it’s time we revisit it, and if the block grant is the way that gets the Legislature to force that issue and to have that discussion, I think that is appropriate.”

But Rep. Barbara Ballard, D-Lawrence, said she doesn’t believe that’s a valid reason for scrapping the formula, and she said all the evidence from the Lawrence school district indicates the current formula is working.

“My constituents do not see a major problem with the finance (law) of 1992,” Ballard said. “What they do see is we have not continued the funding the way we indicated we would.”

The bill, which was only released to the public Thursday evening, would do away with the existing per-pupil funding formula and instead fund all districts with a block grant roughly equal to what they are supposed to receive this year. The new formula

After noticing the original two butterflies, Taylor said Monarch Watch students bred the rare insects up to the current population of about 40 white monarchs. But don’t expect to find a white monarch out in the wild, Taylor said; the critters are too rare.

With a 95 percent abatement, it was estimated the property would contribute $11,000 in the first year of operations after the project is complete.

The expansion will add 54 guestrooms, restaurant and bar space, and 7,000 square feet of banquet space, among other amenities.

— City reporter Chad Lawhorn can be City commissioners, reached at 832-6362, who approved it 3-1 in or at clawhorn@ljworld.com their preliminary vote, said they were comfortable with a 15-year, 95 percent abatement because it will ultimately create additional cash flow for the city.

“

My constituents do not see a major problem with the finance (law) of 1992. What they do see is we have not continued the funding the way we indicated we would.”

— Rep. Barbara Ballard, D-Lawrence would apply to the current school year, which is already three-fourths over, and to each of the next two years.

But many districts, including Lawrence, would see substantial cuts in their overall funding, mainly because of changes in the way the new formula calculates equalization aid for capital outlay and local option budgets.

Districts levy separate property taxes for those budgets.

Capital outlay is used for big-ticket purchases like furniture, equipment and building repair. Local option budgets are the additional revenue districts can collect to supplement the general aid they receive from the state.

Equalization aid is a method the state uses to subsidize those budgets for districts that have less property value per student than other districts.

The proposed bill cuts the amount of equalization aid the state provides this year and for the next two years. Supporters of

L awrence J ournal -W orld the bill say that’s because the cost of equalization aid this year turned out to be about $56 million more than they had expected.

The Lawrence district would lose about $1.6 million of local option budget equalization under the proposal, compared with what the district had expected to receive when it adopted the current year’s budget in August. Lawrence does not qualify for capital outlay equalization.

Lawmakers agreed to add more equalization money last year in response to an order from the Kansas Supreme Court.

Statewide, the bill calls for cutting the this year’s appropriation for LOB and capital outlay equalization by $51.9 million, according to the Kansas State Department of Education. Supporters of the bill say that’s still $138 million more than the state provided for the 2013-2014 school year, before the Supreme Court ruled that equalization was unconstitutionally underfunded.

The House committee is expected to vote as early as today to send the bill to the full House.

The Senate Ways and Means Committee is scheduled to hold hearings on an identical bill today, with a possible vote to send it to the full Senate as early as Wednesday or Thursday.

Monarch Watch will continue to develop the white monarch population, making the KU researchers one of only two known groups in the world to study the rare butterflies, Taylor said.

As the population grows, Taylor said the phenomenon presents the opportunity for students to conduct original research.

“Rare things allow you to explore a whole series of ideas,” Taylor said.

“They provide you opportunities to provide new information to the world.

For example, Taylor said he is helping a student study how the abnormally colored monarchs respond to heat this week in com-

parison with their orange counterparts.

Taylor said studying the white monarchs should provide some insight into how the mutation occurs and why they differ from average monarchs. Still the best part of having a new population to study is that it sparks engagement among students, Taylor said.

“It’s not really novel science, but it’s fun stuff,” Taylor said. “This is the type of stuff you get students on. It’s a good vehicle for undergraduate research.”

“The scenarios for the city and county are very different,” Commissioner Mike Gaughan said in February after the unanimous vote.

Eldridge general manager Nancy Longhurst said after the county’s vote that she thought an 85 percent abatement “will work for us.”

In other business Monday, the board heard a report on the Advancement Via Individual Determination, or AVID, program, which instructs students with average or below-average grades on good studying habits and prepares them for college.

Leah Wisdom, who coordinates the program for the district, said over 320 students are participating districtwide in the program this year, the first in which it has been available at the middle school level. She said organizers will focus on recruiting more males after females accounted for 63 percent of enrollees.

AVID debuted at the high school level during the 2012-2013 school year. Once accepted into the program, students remain in it year after year. Seven of nine seniors who joined in its

debut year and remained in the program appeared at the board meeting Monday.

Wisdom said the nine students combined took over 40 advanced courses, received 25 acceptance letters from 14 universities and have been offered $68,300 in scholarships.

Wisdom said all nine plan to attend college.

Lawmaker likens abortion to Holocaust

By Nicholas Clayton Associated Press

Topeka — Abortionrights supporters are committing “a holocaust against fetuses,� a freshman Kansas Republican legislator said Monday as he spoke in support of a measure that would outlaw a procedure used in about 8 percent of abortions in the state.

Republican Rep. Dick Jones of Topeka made the comments during and after a hearing by the House Federal and State Affairs Committee on a bill that would prohibit using clamps, forceps

or similar instruments on a fetus so to remove it from the womb in pieces. The measure would ban what doctors call the dilation and evacuation procedure, which is Jones commonly used nationwide in second trimester abortions. “If that child — and we were talking, just let’s say, move back 70 years — we’re talking about that child being Jewish and should it be aborted by being ripped out like that, I think we’d have a different conversation

here,� Jones said.

Asked to clarify his comments after the hearing, Jones compared abortion-rights supporters to totalitarian leaders who kill thousands of people deemed to be “a drain� on state resources. “The moment of conception when the finger of life is touched to that fetus, to that egg, it becomes a human being with all the inherent rights. If we look at this in any other fashion, we’re then saying that it’s all right to kill quadriplegics

because they’re a burden on society,� Jones said.

Abortion-rights groups testified that the measure would increase women’s health risks and would open up doctors to malpractice suits if they avoided using the procedure in cases when it would be the safest option for terminating a pregnancy.

Julie Burkhart, CEO of abortion-rights group Trust Women Foundation, said that Jones is entitled to his opinion but said that “making part of health care illegal and inaccessible is not serving women at all.�

Kansas University Hospital on Monday ceremoniously broke ground on a new building that will add almost 100 beds to the hospital’s capacity, helping meet demand in fast-growing areas.

The $280 million Cambridge North Patient Tower is going up at 39th and Cambridge streets in Kansas City, Kan., just northeast of the existing hospital buildings.

The seven-story, 92bed, 12-operating room facility will house two of the hospital’s fastestgrowing specialty areas: neurosciences and surgical oncology, including ear, nose and throat cancers, according to KU

Hospital. Of the 92 beds, 28 will be intensive care.

The building also will feature imaging, a lab and pharmacy.

KU Hospital reports patient volume growth of 30 percent in the last five years. Neurosciences and surgical oncology have grown almost 40 percent over that period, according to the hospital.

Overall, 47,590 patients were discharged during fiscal year 2014, hospital spokesman Dennis McCulloch said. This year is even busier, with discharges on track to reach 52,100.

Last month, the hospital averaged 789 patients in a bed each day, McCulloch said. That’s up Please see HOSPITAL, page 4A

Man charged in connection DON’T TAKE OUR KIDS with alleged drive-by shooting OUT OF THE PICTURE

By Caitlin Doornbos

Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

A 26-year-old Mission man was charged Monday with criminal discharge and possession of a firearm, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of marijuana in connection with an alleged drive-by shooting Saturday.

Bryne Dvon Draper was arrested around 2 a.m.

Saturday after officers responded to a report of a person shooting a handgun from a vehicle, Lawrence police spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley said.

The caller said Draper allegedly started shooting at another vehicle near the intersection of 15th and Iowa streets as the vehicles drove northbound.

Officers soon found Draper’s vehicle on McDonald Drive and stopped him at the Kansas Turnpike toll plaza,

McKinley said. Shell casings and marijuana were found inside the vehicle, McKinley said, and Draper was arrested.

No one was injured in the gunfire, but a home near Orchard Drive and Iowa Street was struck while people were inside, McKinley said. Officers did not find any damage to the other vehicle allegedly involved in the altercation.

Upon further investigation, officers found a handgun believed to have been involved in the incident alongside the road-

way south of where the car was stopped, McKinley said.

Draper is being held in the Douglas County Jail on a $50,000 bond. If convicted, he could face up to 149 months, or more than 12 years, in prison, depending on his criminal history.

Draper will make his next appearance in court Thursday. Draper’s booking photo was not available Monday. — Reporter Caitlin Doornbos can be reached at 813-7146 or cvdoornbos@ljworld.com.

from an average of 740 in February 2014 and 690 in February 2013. The hospital’s “official” number of staffed beds is 689, plus 24 bassinets.

“We have had a full hospital with record patient demand for the last three months,” Bob Page, hospital president and CEO, said in a prepared statement. “It has meant we are using all our creativity to provide patients with the high quality services they are seeking.

It also means we need the beds and operating rooms Cambridge North will provide to meet patient demand.”

The Cambridge North Patient Tower is scheduled to be complete and open to patients in 2017.

A goal of the project is to raise $100 million through philanthropy.

KU Hospital said it has raised $36.6 million of that so far, including $4 million toward an ongoing $10 million challenge grant from Kansas City area philanthropist Annette Bloch.

After about six hours, prosecutors and the defense selected a jury Monday for the case of a 30-year-old Eudora man charged with first-degree murder and aggravated burglary.

Archie Robinson is accused in the March 8, 2014, shooting death of Patrick Roberts, 39, of Robinson Lawrence.

Prosecutors allege that on that morning, Robinson kicked in Roberts’ door with codefendant Dustin Walker, tried to steal money or marijuana from Roberts and shot him when he didn’t comply.

Asked at the Lawrence Public Library

4 Westar energy plans up for approval Topeka (ap) — Utility regulators are weighing four renewable energy proposals from Westar Energy.

The Topeka CapitalJournal reports that one of the proposed changes would lower the price of an optional renewable energy tariff. About 43 customers currently pay $1 on top of the regular rate for 100 kilowatt hours of renewable energy. But Greg Greenwood, senior vice president of strategy for Westar, said that will fall to about 25 cents if approved, to better reflect the actual cost of producing it.

Two other proposals would allow customers to buy units of energy or shares with solar farms.

The fourth proposal would allow large electricity users to buy a share of wind power.

The Kansas Corporation Commission has jurisdiction over rates and special programs offered by electric utilities in Kansas.

Chantel Guzman, student, Lawrence “No, I wouldn’t. It’s just not my thing. Seems kind of pointless.”

Too much time?

5A

Can Clinton curb email damage?

By Doyle McManus Los Angeles Times

A local legislator thinks a shorter session might help Kansas lawmakers focus on their key responsibilities.

M

embers of the Kansas Legislature have too much time on their hands, State Sen. Tom Holland told those who attended the Lawrence chamber of commerce legislative update session on Saturday.

To help remedy that situation, Holland, a Democrat from Baldwin City, said he had introduced a bill (SB 223) that would reduce the current 90-day legislative session to just 60 days, although the session could be extended by a two-thirds vote of the House and Senate.

A 60-day session is plenty of time, he said, for the Legislature to deal with its core duties related to the budget and the operation of state government. As it is now, legislators waste a lot of time talking about issues that aren’t part of their central responsibility or introducing legislation that has little chance of passage just as a way to make a political point.

Judging from the current legislative session, it seems that Holland has a point. The session is about half over and legislators are just now starting to work on a school finance plan, the Kansas Board of Regents budget and other key bills. They’ve spent plenty of time, however, talking about issues that probably won’t result in any legislation being passed and sent to the governor — at least this year.

There certainly are issues that need more study than they can receive during a 60-day session, but that work can be done by interim committees before the session begins. A concentrated 60-day session might force legislators to better prioritize how they use their time and concentrate on their essential duties.

The Kansas Legislature was envisioned as a “citizen legislature,” consisting of lawmakers with other jobs who come to Topeka for a short time to decide important state issues — not a body of professional politicians. A shorter session could make it easier for many Kansans to serve in the Legislature.

Holland’s bill got a hearing in the Senate Committee on Federal and State Affairs, but it seems unlikely to progress further this year. At about 90 words, SB 223 may be one of the shortest bills introduced in the Legislature this year.

It wastes no time or words and gets right to the issue at hand. That’s what Holland hopes a 60-day session would force state legislators to do: identify the work that must be done, get it done and go home.

It’s impossible to know whether Hillary Rodham Clinton’s use of a private email account to conduct business as Secretary of State is a serious scandal or merely a tempest in a teapot. Impossible, because Clinton and her aides have ducked the most important questions.

Yes, Secretaries of State are allowed to use personal email accounts. But why did Clinton choose never to use the government’s official system? She hasn’t said.

Yes, Clinton gave the government more than 55,000 pages of emails after she was asked for them and said they included every message that

“

She has put her head down, ignored the critics and prayed for the media’s annoying spotlight to move restlessly on. Sometimes that strategy works — but sometimes it doesn’t, disastrously.” touched on official business.

But will the government be allowed to review the rest of the messages to make sure she didn’t hold anything back? No answer.

No, there’s no evidence that Clinton’s emails included sensitive information or that her private email server was penetrated by foreign intelligence services. But how would we know? There’s no evidence either way.

And yes, Clinton says she has asked the State Department to release the emails — someday. In her only public statement on the matter, she tweeted: “I want the public to see my email. I asked State to release them. They said they will review them for release as soon as possible.”

Good luck with that. The State Department is notorious for Dickensian delays in releasing documents.

Five years ago, the Associated Press asked for records about Clinton’s closest aide, Huma Abedin; it’s still waiting. At that speed, Hillary Clinton could be in her second term as president before we see any smoking emails.

That’s the problem. If Clinton plans to run for the White House, voters deserve to have those questions answered well before election day.

Instead, Clinton has reverted to a practice she and her husband have long preferred when they were caught in unpleasant situations: She has put her head down, ignored the critics and prayed for the media’s annoying spotlight to move restlessly on.

Sometimes that strategy works — but sometimes it doesn’t, disastrously.

Early in the Bill Clinton administration, there was something called the Whitewater affair, a murky soup of real estate deals and bank loans in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas. White House aide David Gergen was convinced that the Clintons had done nothing wrong and urged a strategy of full disclosure, to prevent a small scandal from turning into a larger one.

But the Clintons, especially Hillary, rejected his advice. As a result, Whitewater mushroomed, leading to congressional hearings and

the appointment of a special prosecutor. In the end, the Whitewater transactions turned out to be no big deal. But by then, the special prosecutor had stumbled across a different object of interest: Monica Lewinsky.

Full disclosure in 1994 might have saved President Clinton a painful impeachment drama in 1998 and 1999.

But it’s not clear that Hillary Clinton absorbed that lesson.

David Axelrod, President Obama’s former campaign manager, warned on MSNBC that she was allowing the story to “fester.” Dick Harpootlian, former chairman of the South Carolina Democratic Party, told Bloomberg Politics: “I think she is uniquely unqualified to run a campaign.”

And those two are Democrats. As for Clinton’s enemies — the “vast right-wing conspiracy” she denounced back in 1997 — the kerfuffle has been like Christmas in March.

It was a shot of adrenaline to House Republicans’ wheezing investigation of the 2012 attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya. Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., said he might even call the former secretary to testify on the matter.

Other Republicans said they might investigate whether Clinton had put sensitive information at risk — a question that could qualify as legitimate

Culture shift key to progress I liked the movie “Selma,” though it could have done without the rap song during credits that referenced “hands up, don’t shoot,” a slogan that emerged from the shooting of Michael Brown by a Ferguson, Mo., police officer whose actions the Justice Department recently determined did not “constitute prosecutable violations” of federal civil rights law.

As President Obama marched last weekend in Selma, Ala., along with others commemorating that seminal civil rights demonstration, it became clear that the time has come to stop focusing on marches and take a sober look at what really troubles the African-American community today and how to untrouble it. We might ask: Are African Americans better off than they were 50 years ago when it comes to jobs, economic independence and especially intact families?

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported last Friday that black unemployment stood at 10.4 percent in February, a slight increase from the 10.3 percent figure a month earlier. White unemployment is just 4.7 percent.

The national average is 5.5 percent, misleading because of the millions who are no longer looking for work.

There are too many single mothers, too many black men in jail or dead and too many black babies aborted.

That’s the negative and as long as politicians focus on negatives they are unlikely to generate positives. Here are some of the positives.

Black Christian News Network 1 has compiled figures culled from the Pew Research

Cal Thomas

“

tcaeditors@tribune.com

Are African Americans better off than they were 50 years ago … ?”

Center, Census Bureau, Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, Kaiser Foundation and Nielsen. It calculates more than 10,500 elected black officials in America, 1.9 million black business owners, a record low 8 percent high school dropout rate. In 2013, it found black buying power had reached $1 trillion.

BCNN1 also cites troubling trends that in some cases outweigh the gains: Median net wealth of black households fell from $16,600 in 2010 to $11,000 in 2013 (a huge disparity when compared to the $141,900 median net wealth figure for white households); only 14 percent of young black people between the ages of 18 to 24 were enrolled in college in 2012 and just 9 percent ages 25 to 29 held bachelor’s degrees.

The disparity between reality and impression is most shocking and inhibits those African Americans locked in a prison of underachievement from breaking free. Figures compiled by the FBI in 2012 show that 69.3 percent of all crimes are committed by whites with just 28.1 percent

committed by blacks, and yet in 2010, cites BCNN1, black men were six times as likely as white men to be incarcerated in federal, state and local prisons and jails.

How to overcome these conditions? Start by retiring the song “We Shall Overcome Someday.” Then begin teaching and modeling what is necessary for African-American success and then make those standards a top priority of government, church and most importantly culture.

The message at all levels should be: Stay in school, don’t have babies out of wedlock, get married and stay married, be a father to your children, adopt a religious life and don’t take drugs. These are on-ramps to the road to achievement.

The cultural stereotypes that portray black men as oversexed thugs who can’t speak proper English and who dress as if they are on their way to a street fight must be curtailed. Embracing lowclass behavior ensures that one is likely to remain in the lower class. Following examples of successful black men and women and ignoring peer pressure to follow a road that leads nowhere will improve one’s chances of success.

Solutions to the problems of black America are not a secret, but they must be taught at every level. They begin by allowing parents to choose where their children go to school.

More than anything else, a good education will help black children cross a bridge that leads to an even better destination than the one marchers reached last weekend.

congressional oversight.

This, Madam Secretary, is precisely how a small problem risks mushrooming into a big problem. Most of it could have been avoided if Clinton had complied with the rules and turned over her emails a year ago Maybe Clinton can answer the questions, and it will turn out that there’s nothing to see here. The current law against personal email accounts wasn’t in effect during her tenure at the State Department. (Still, she appears to have violated State Department policy.)

If Clinton had heavyweight competition for the nomination, she might be in serious trouble with Democratic voters. But she doesn’t face that kind of competition, and time is on her side.

“When we get to November 2016, I’ll bet no one will be thinking about Secretary Clinton’s emails,” Democratic strategist Mark Mellman predicted.

Nonetheless, she’s reminded even her friends of her old propensity for unforced errors — and that if they vote for someone named Clinton, they risk getting some baggage in the bargain.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 10, 1915: years “Petitions signed ago by about two IN 1915 thousands of the voters of Lawrence were presented to the Commissioners in their meeting this morning asking that the ordinance prohibiting the pool halls in Lawrence be put to a vote of the people at the general election which will come on April 6. The petition was received and filed and the commissioners voted to put the matter before the people as they have requested.

The ordinance will be submitted to the people and they will vote yes or no on its adoption. ... The members of the Ministerial Alliance were active in getting the petition before the people. They realize that a large number of people want the pool halls put out of town and the only way they have of letting it be known that the number is so large is for them to circulate a petition. ” “Topeka. – The senate committee on temperance doesn’t believe in letting everybody know who gets liquors in Kansas. It has killed the Candill bill to require the publication of the liquor shipments into each county in Kansas. The house had already passed the measure, after a hard fight and it was sent to the senate to see how that body felt about ‘giving away’ the drinkers in the state. The senate never got a chance to express itself as the committee attended to the bill and it was put into the ‘dead box’ without very many senators knowing that it had really reached that body.”

In February, Barr, 18, was named the Lawrence Boys and Girls Club Youth of the Year, which qualified her for the statewide competition in Topeka.

At Mondays event, Barr and nine other candidates gave speeches about their backgrounds, the work they’ve been doing this year and their plans for the future.

Alliyah Gray, of Hutchinson, was named the 2015 Kansas Youth of the Year.

Barr said in February she plans to pursue degrees in early childhood and musical education at either Baker or Kansas State universities.

— The president of the University of Oklahoma severed the school’s ties with a national fraternity on Monday and ordered that its on-campus house be shuttered after several members took part in a racist chant caught on video.

President David Boren said he was sickened and couldn’t eat or sleep after learning about the video Sunday afternoon. The video, which was posted online, shows several people on a bus participating in a chant that included a racial slur, referenced lynching and indicated black students would never be admitted to OU’s chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon.

Boren attended a predawn rally organized by students and lambasted the fraternity members as “disgraceful” and called their behavior “reprehensible.” He said the university was looking into a range of punishments, including expulsion.

Washington — Republican lawmakers warned the leaders of Iran on Monday that any nuclear deal they cut with President Barack Obama could expire the day he leaves office. The White House denounced the GOP’s latest effort to undercut the international negotiations as a “rush to war.”

Monday’s open letter from 47 GOP senators marked an unusually public and aggressive attempt to undermine Obama and five world powers as negotiators try to strike an initial deal by the end of March to limit Iran’s nuclear programs.

Republicans say a deal would be insufficient and unenforceable, and they have made a series of proposals to undercut or

prospective presidential candidates.

Explaining the difference between a Senateratified treaty and a mere agreement between Obama and Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the senators warned, “The next president could revoke such an executive agreement with the stroke of a pen, and future Congresses could modify the terms of the agreement at any time.”

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif responded via state media, dismissing the letter as a “propaganda ploy” and noting that many international deals are “mere executive agreements.” He suggested the senators were undermining not only the prospective deal with Iran but other international agreements as well.

block it — from requiring Senate say-so on any agreement to ordering new penalty sanctions against Iran or even making a pre-emptive declaration of war.

Obama, noting that some in Iran also want no part of any deal, said: “I think it’s somewhat ironic that some members of Congress want to make common cause with the hardliners in Iran. It’s an unusual coalition.”

The letter was written by freshman Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas, who opposes negotiations with Iran. It’s addressed to the “Leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran” and presents itself as a constitutional primer to the government of an American adversary.

A GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE RECENTLY RELEASED A REPORT THAT SAYS COFFEE IN MODERATION can provide health benefits, such as a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

Get a caffeine kick in your diet, but keep moderation in mind

By Michelle Tevis Twitter: @WellCommons

C

offee is part of a day on the job for Khylie McGee. She’s not a barista; she’s an emergency room physician at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. And like many of us, she wants that coffee kick before she starts her shift.

A government advisory committee recently released a report that looks at caffeine for the first time and says coffee — in moderation — is not only OK, but there are even some benefits.

But with all substances, moderation is key, and McGee says what is important is to know what you’re getting when it comes to caffeine.

“If I was going to tell the public one thing to be informed about on their caffeine consumption, it would be find out how much you’re taking in,” she said. “Because when you order a cup of coffee at Starbucks, it doesn’t say how much (caffeine) is in it. And it doesn’t say it on much of anything. It

HOW MUCH? For healthy adults with no medical issues, it is generally agreed upon that 300mg-400mg of caffeine can be consumed daily without any adverse effects.

This is equivalent to about: • 5.2 shots of espresso • 2 5-Hour Energy Shots • 1 Starbucks Venti brewed coffee • 2.5 16-ounce Monster energy drinks • 5 8-ounce Red Bulls • 11.7 12-ounce Coca-Colas Source: caffeineinformer.com may say it has caffeine in it, and it will list it in the ingredients, but it doesn’t give the specific milligram dose.”

McGee recommends doing your research. If you like to drink the same thing every day, know what you’re taking in, and if you need to dial it back, know that your alternative is actually one that is better for you.

A venti (20-ounce) Starbucks Clover brewed coffee

— just coffee — has 415 milligrams of caffeine in it, according to the nutrition facts on the Starbucks website. Compare that with an old-school version of an 8-ounce cup of regular coffee you might brew at home, which contains about 100 milligrams of caffeine.

“So in the past, you could take in about four separate cups of coffee and not get the same amount of caffeine as you get from one cup of Starbucks coffee,” McGee said.

The government advisory panel says there is strong evidence that three to five cups a day, about 400 milligrams, can be part of a healthy diet, and there’s consistent evidence that it’s even associated with reduced risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Previous guidelines recommended about two cups a day. (Pregnant women and adolescents have much lower recommendations.)

Caffeine can interact with some medications, so pharmacist Curtis Strum recommended letting the pharmacist or your doctor know if you have any questions when

filling a prescription.

“It being a stimulant, the main thing you’re going to watch out for is how it interacts with other stimulants,” he said. For example, “it can interact with certain ADHD medication, make you feel more jittery and have an increased heart rate.”

McGee noted that caffeine can metabolize more slowly when the person drinking it is on certain antibiotics. Ciprofloxacin, an antibiotic that is frequently used to treat urinary tract infections, decreases the metabolism of caffeine, so someone on that medication may feel more of an effect from the substance, she said.

Mary Jo Mason, a registered dietitian based at the Hy-Vee on Sixth Street, said there have been studies that show caffeine can be helpful for memory or cognitive ability.

And as a general rule, she has found caffeine to be an acceptable part of a regular diet.

“Most people tolerate a few cups of caffeine, and some people say they drink two pots Please see CAFFEINE, page 2B

Kyra: There are only three states in which public schools operate under an opt-in sex education model: Arizona, Nevada and Utah.

If HB 2199 becomes law, Kansas will join them in taking a colossal step backward.

Under the opt-in model, parents must sign a document allowing their children to attend even basic sex education classes.

Thirty-five states and the District of Columbia allow parents to opt their children out of sex education.

The other 12 don’t appear to specify.

Last week we discussed SB 56, prompted by a Shawnee Mission middle school teacher’s display of a poster that asked, “How do people express their sexual feelings?” and then offered some explicit answers. The introduction of HB 2199 was spurred by the same event.

Both this middle school teacher and the Kansas Legislature are taking their roles a little too far and thereby exacerbating the problem.

The consequence should fit the behavior. The proven consequence of limiting sex education — STIs and teen pregnancies — does not fit the mistake a few teachers made in not keeping things rated PG. Let’s be honest. Teens are going to have sex, and there’s only so much older generations can do to prevent that. In the moments they become most important, issues Please see SEX ED, page 2B

100 Top Hospitals award recognizes LMH progress toward operational excellence

By Janice Early Lawrence Memorial Hospital

It’s official … again!

For the third year in a row, Lawrence Memorial Hospital has earned its place among the nation’s top 100 hospitals. As a recipient of the 2015 Truven Health Analytics 100 Top Hospitals award, we are proud to say we rank so highly among nearly 3,000 acute care hospitals nationwide. We are in the national top 20 for organizations our size, and we are the only hospital in Kansas to achieve this distinction for the past three consecutive years.

In an industry changing as rapidly as health care, according to Truven Health Analytics, the 100 Top Hospitals illustrate how effective leaders manage change and achieve ex-

cellence in a dynamic environment. The 2015 study recognizes hospitals that have clearly demonstrated the vision to develop longterm excellence in care, efficiency and community value. The program objectively gauges leadership impact and organizational health by assessing the ability to drive consistent, outstanding performance versus the performance of industry peers.

The Truven Health study The 100 Top Hospitals designation is based on hospitalwide performance improvement over time. Using independent, quantitative research, the Truven Health 100 Top

Hospitals study identifies hospitals and leadership teams that provide the highest level of value to their communities, based on a national balanced scorecard.

The scorecard measures overall organizational performance across 11 key analytic measures that encompass patient safety, quality of patient care, operational efficiency, financial stability and patient perception of care. Rather than conducting a one-year analysis — which only captures performance at a specific snapshot in time — the Truven Health study looks at data that reflect fiveyear performance for most measures.

As leadership at the Truven Health Center for Performance Improvement explains, the 100 Top Hospitals program is different from all other

hospital ranking systems because its purpose is to show hospitals how and where they can improve, not to help consumers choose a hospital. Furthermore, it is completely objective: Hospitals cannot apply for consideration, and winners do not pay to market this honor.

tient satisfaction surveys.

Truven Health research further reveals that, as a top 100 hospital: l LMH excels across our entire organization, from high quality patient care to financial management, community benefits and more. l We have very strong board leadership, and hospital leaders at LMH are very effective with management and organizational goal development. l We follow care standards more closely than nearly 1,000 similarly sized hospitals and nearly 3,000 other hospitals throughout the United States. l We use advanced information technology processes.

What this means for LMH patients What does our recognition as a top 100 hospital mean for patients? Research shows that Truven Health 100 Top Hospitals: l Have fewer patient complications. l Avoid adverse patient safety events. l Have lower mortality and 30-day readmission rates. l Keep expenses low.

At LMH, we earned our l Score better on pa- position among the top

U.S. hospitals through our culture of performance improvement, our outstanding leadership and staff who embody evidence-based management as well as evidencebased medicine, and our unwavering dedication to the health of our community. But those associated with LMH know there is always room for improvement. Achieving this recognition means that we are held to even higher standards of accountability. It is expected that we will continuously and intentionally get better every day.

This past year, LMH embraced the principles of Lean Six Sigma by launching an initiative known as “Operational Excellence.” Lean Six Sigma is a data-driven, Please see HOSPITAL, page 2B

Stop spring allergies: 4 things to know

By Michelle Tevis Twitter: @WellCommons

The week’s warm weather is a sign that spring is upon us. And with spring comes seasonal allergies.

Ron Weiner, board certified allergist with Asthma & Allergy Associates in Lawrence, says 20 percent of people have allergies, and there are a few things they can do to make their lives more livable when allergy season hits. “Our motto around here is, asthma or allergies should not interfere with your work, your school, your activities or your sleep,� he said.

Here are a few tips from Dr. Weiner to help alleviate the symptoms that make us miserable.

tree pollen. Some of the symptoms may get worse when you go outside and better when you come in. “When you get tested to find out what you’re allergic to, if it’s a pollen, then you like to at least feel better when you’re indoors.� That means: l Don’t use an attic fan.

It pulls the pollen in and circulates it. l Close the windows. l Use the air conditioner. l Change the filter monthly in your heating and air conditioning unit.

Save your money.

There are products on the market that are supposed to improve your environment if you have allergies, but they don’t help at all, Weiner said. l Buy a cheap HVAC filter monthly. “What I recKnow what triggers ommend to people with allergies if they change your allergies.

of consent and safety lie beyond adults’ sphere of influence.

This bill threatens what little influence they do have. By making opt-in a big deal for parents and teens, this bill makes the subject of sex more taboo, only serving to increase curiosity, rebellion and experimentation.

Society can’t make parents give their kids “the talk,� and no one can force kids to listen. Most parents passively leave “the birds and the bees� up to the schools; however, not all of them would sign a permission slip to opt their children into a school sex ed class if directly required to do so.

The kids who slip through those cracks will suffer.

we have “Fifty Shades of Grey,� which enjoys tremendous readership among teen girls.

Today, mainstream media has moved off the antenna and into cable and online streaming.

Few teens lack access to sexual content at all levels of explicitness.

There’s only one way schools could provide a meaningful response to that powerful message and still offer parents a choice in curricula: multilevel courses.

These would begin Wes: As we’ve diswith the basics — escussed before, America’s sentially the minimalist real sex educator is now lesson now taught in the Internet.

And of course, Advanced classes

Weiner said. l Don’t buy air cleaners or ionizers. “Ionizers, which generate ozone, are actually harmful; ozone is good for the ozone layer, but in your micro-environment it irritates your nose, your sinuses, your throat and your lungs,� Weiner said.

Take the right medications for the job.

The right eye drops and a cortisone nasal spray are excellent tools to have when beating back allergy symptoms. l Eye drops: There are two eye drops that are non-prescription that work really well. The generic name of the active ingredient is ketotifen (sold over the counter as Zaditor or Alaway), Weinwould address the full range of sexual behavior but would not teach specific techniques or styles of sexual interplay.

Young people don’t need a lot of encouragement in that direction — they just need facts and ways of making intelligent consent-based decisions.

Each level would be taught by certified sex educators and would require informed consent from parents to a clearly disclosed curriculum list.

However, since it makes little sense to allow teens to consent to sex but not consent to sex education, anyone over 16 (in Kansas at least) could opt themselves into any given class.

Is any of this going to happen? No. It’s just my imagination running wild — a utopian ideal to align what teens are doing and what we want to teach them about what they are doing.

No matter how much informed consent parents might have, comprehensive sex education will never be taught in America’s public schools.

The story of the infamous “sexual feelings� poster tells us why.

Dear Annie: I live in a rental space with my aunt and uncle. We enjoyed it until recently.

Here’s what happened: During the time we have been here, the rental space has had several different managers. All were nice and tried their best, but this new manager is treating us poorly. “Sally” is evil and rude, and if she’s right, you’re wrong. Her attitude toward us makes us feel terrible.

When we got a bedbug infestation, Sally said it was our fault.

We have heard from previous residents that they have had infestations, as well.

I don’t think Sally is totally familiar with infestations. She knew nothing about bedbugs and had to read up on them. She thinks there is nothing wrong with blaming us, yet the

Now in its second season, “Newlyweds” (9 p.m.) follows four recently married couples as they navigate all of the changes and challenges that occur when lusty c o u r t ship gives way to the routine of settling down.

In another time and on another network, “Newlyweds” would focus on the common humanity of its subjects and their kinship to married couples all over the world and down through the ages.

Instead, very much in Bravo style, the focus is on bank accounts. Three of the four couples on this show are fabulously wealthy and discuss their millions quite casually. In at least two cases, the income inequality between spouses is the source of friction.

Only a generation ago, “The Dating Game” and “The Newlywed Game” featured couples from all social backgrounds.

Well into the 1990s, Chuck Woolery’s “Love Connection” featured couples from every background.

Bravo pats itself on its own back for inclusiveness and diversity. One couple on “Newlyweds” is black, and another lesbian. But where is the inclusiveness for people without trust funds or six-figure incomes? For all of its enlightened veneer, Bravo celebrates and fosters a smug, shallow, snarky view of a world where only the affluent matter.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, March 10: This year you have a lot of energy focused on learning more and widening your perspective. If you are single, a strong attraction could develop between you and someone who might not seem like he or she is your type. If you are attached, the two of you might decide to take off on a dream vacation.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) You’ll respond well to someone’s offer. In fact, the more this person shares, the happier you will be. Tonight: Favorite people, favorite place.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You could feel unusually awkward when trying to initiate a conversation with someone. Tonight: Roll with the punches.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Pace yourself. You will get a lot accomplished if you can restrain your social desires. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. Cancer (June 21-July 22) Be more aware of what could happen if a special someone was not in your life. Tonight: Express your feelings.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Stay on top of your to-do list. Answer to a loved one, and get past the immediate issue.

Tonight: Head home early.

your guests for money.

What is your take on this? — Old-Fashioned in Pennsylvania Dear Pennsylvania: The way it works is for close friends and family of the bride to pass the word that cash or gift cards are preferred, and not include this in the shower invitation. It is also wise for the bride and groom to register for a few items, perhaps from a store they frequent where unwanted items can be returned for merchandise credit.

This allows guests who are uncomfortable giving money to give something else. After all, giving anything is up to the guest, and the couple should show gratitude for whatever is received.

Tonight: Run some errands on the way home.

Ellis braces for return to KU men

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Geno tops this KU wish list

Kansas University junior forward Perry Ellis will wear a brace in practice and games the rest of the season to protect his sprained right knee, coach Bill Self said Monday.

“For precautionary measures,” Self said.

The 6-foot-8 junior forward suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament

in the first half of an overtime win over West Virginia on March 3 and sat out the rest of the game. He also missed Saturday’s loss at Oklahoma.

“Perry did some things today, non-contact. It basically doesn’t mean he’s close to being ready. It doesn’t mean he’s not close to being ready,” Self said on his “Hawk Talk” radio show.

“There are some things they (medical staff) wanted to

see him do before he’s reevaluated tomorrow. Hopefully we’ll get good news, and he can press forward on that.

“He certainly feels good.

He looked good in what he did. Most of it was straightline running.”

Ellis is questionable for Thursday’s Big 12 quarterfinal against either TCU or Kansas State (1:30 p.m., Sprint Center).

“If he can’t go full-speed

by Wednesday, we’re not going to play him Thursday.

He’s got to go full-speed before we’ll play him. I don’t think there’s anything holding him out mentally right now,” Self said.

“I think he’ll be close to 100 percent by the NCAA Tournament. This weekend, I won’t play him if he doesn’t feel very, very good.

If he doesn’t feel he can play

KANSAS WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Changing course

The Kansas University athletic department is in the beginning stages of another coaching search, this time for a women’s basketball coach.

As with any fantasy GM and/or real athletic director, I have five a list of five names of potential candidates in my pocket. They range from the best in the business, to an extremely inexperienced but promising coach, to a living legend, to more main-stream profiles.

In order, here’s whom I’d call to test their level of interest:

1. Geno Auriemma: No active basketball coach can match the UConn women’s coach’s résumé. Not in the NBA or any other league.

Without even leaving his office, Geno could pick up his phone and recruit the best player in New York City, Dallas and Kansas City every year. His first national title would come in his third year, and many more would follow. Allen Fieldhouse would be packed for every game, and he already has tons of friends in Lawrence who used to work with him at UConn.

He has three years and a guaranteed $6.85 million just for showing up remaining on his contract.

The ’95 Lions entered the season with a No. 2 ranking in the state but lost their last two games before winter break. That led to Schreiner moving Butler to point guard and their former point guard, Morris, to the low post.

“I remember exactly, we were 2-3 going into the Christmas break, and this was my second year, and I was thinking, ‘Geez, they are going to fire me,’” Schreiner said with a laugh. “We were supposed to be really good. … Jason is only like 6-foot, but could jump out of the gym.

In the state final, the Lions led for the majority of the contest and ended any potential comeback by draining 14 of their final 15 free throws. Wilson saved his best game for last, scoring a season-high 26 points.

“Tye was unbelievable,” Rials said. “I could have sworn he was going to Duke or something after that game.”

Though most of the seniors went their separate paths after graduation, the one thing that will always pull them back together is their bond of winning a state championship together.

“It’s a tight-knit community, and everybody grows up together,” Butler said. “We were a senior-dominated team, and we all grew up basically together. It was awesome. Winning a state title with your friends, it doesn’t get much better than that.”

CHUCK LAW DIRECTS HIS FREE STATE HIGH BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM against Lawrence High in this photo from Feb. 27.

Free State High boys basketball coach Chuck Law won’t be returning as coach next season.

Law told school officials of his decision Monday to let them prepare to fill his vacancy, but he is declining further comment until after

Lawrence High’s boys basketball team finishes its season at the state tournament this weekend to avoid taking any attention away from the Lions.

Law coached at Free State for nine years and led the Firebirds to the state tournament in 2007 and 2013 and an 11-10 record this season.

Royals remain perfect, 5-4 Phoenix (ap) — Mike Moustakas had two hits, including a two-run double, and the Kansas City Royals stayed perfect in Cactus League play with a 5-4 win over the winless Milwaukee Brewers on Monday.

The AL champion Royals are 6-0 and the lone unbeaten team in the majors during the exhibition season. The Brewers and Cubs are the only winless clubs at 0-5.

“Our guys are real focused about what they are doing,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “Our guys are real excited about the young kids getting opportunities and it excites the kids when they see the older veterans are excited about what they are doing. It gives everybody a good feeling.”

Moustakas had been 1 for 8 this spring going into the game. Raul Mondesi, son of the former major leaguer by the same game, had two hits and drove in a run for the Royals.

Brewers star Ryan Braun fouled out and lined out, leaving him hitless in five at-bats this spring.

Matt Long and Matt Clark hit solo homers for Milwaukee.

Brewers starter Jimmy Nelson, showing his new curveball for the first time, allowed one hit in two scoreless innings in his first spring start.

He’s hoping an offspeed pitch will help him be more effective in the major leagues after enjoying dominant success in the minors last year.

When he missed, he missed down with them,” Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke said. “I think it’s going to be a nice pitch for him.”

Jason Vargas gave up an RBI triple to Martin Maldonado in his first start for the Royals. Maldonado has four hits in seven spring at-bats with regular catcher Jonathan Lucroy still sidelined by an injury.

Coming off a careerbest 3.71 ERA last year and a start in the AL pennant-clinching game against Baltimore, Vargas struck out three in two innings.

100 percent, there’s no reason to put him out there this weekend.” l

Greene to return: KU sophomore wing Brannen Greene, who was suspended for Saturday’s KU-OU game for irresponsible behavior, “should play” in the Big 12 tournament, Self said.

“Brannen practiced today, which he does every day.

He needs to take care of his business. Greene I’m excited for him. His attitude is very good. There would have to be a setback for him not to (play). He’s been good since I told him (he was suspended).

Certainly he needs to keep handling his business,” Self said. l

Selden OK: Wayne Selden Jr. said the ankle he sprained against West Virginia, “is getting better; still probably not 100 percent, still not where I want to be, but it’s definitely getting better.”

He practiced full-go Monday.

“He looked fine,” Self said. “His rhythm is off, but he’ll be fine.”

Before practice, Selden said: “I sprained this ankle awhile back (high school). I was out for quite a while. I sprained it bad and missed the rest of the season or something like that. This one doesn’t seem nearly as bad. I’m feeling pretty good about it.”

Self said: “Wayne keeps complaining the flu is bothering him as much as his ankle, but I think he should be 100 percent by Thursday.”

Naturally, you can’t insult Auriemma by interviewing him, even one-on-one, much less over the phone by a committee. Any question anyone might have can be answered by his résumé. The man has won nine national titles and been to the Final Four 15 times. Offer him $3 million a year, plus incentives that could bring it to $4 million. If he says, “No thank you,” or even if he says, “Bleep no!” move on to the next phone call and pat yourself on the back for trying.

Alexander update: Self said he’s not counting on freshman Cliff Alexander playing the rest of the season.

“It’s not going to happen for Cliff to be eligible to play until the NCAA gets the answers they want (over possible extra-benefit situation),” Self said. “The only way that can occur is if all parties get on the same page and meet. That hasn’t happened yet. We are basically moving on. We’re preparing this week to not have Cliff even though there’s a chance we could if everybody could get on the same page, but as of now that has not occurred.”

Yahoo!Sports said Alexander’s mother made a public filing in August tying her to a financial firm.

“I’ve never heard of a financial advisor. I’ve never heard of an agent.

I haven’t heard anything on anything,” Self said.

“The thing that’s a little misleading ... there’s not one thing remotely wrong with talking to agents.

There’s not one thing remotely wrong with meeting them, or financial advisors, and you’ve got to understand families don’t seek this out, they (agents) seek families out the majority of the time. People make a big deal, well, they met with so-and-so. Every good player in the country has had somebody meet with somebody. That’s just the way it goes. There’s not any illegalities at all about meeting or talking or taking a phone call or any of that stuff. Then it would become illegal if there’s things beyond that.” l

Coach honored: KU coach Self on Monday was named the AP’s Big 12 coach of the year.

“I’m happy and proud.

You could have picked a handful of coaches in our league that would be deserving of awards,” X’s and O’s standpoint?

Would you be willing to visit every dorm, fraternity house and sorority house on campus to give a ball-handling exhibition followed by an inspirational speech aimed at getting students to commit to season tickets?

Can I have a list of five names of assistant coach candidates?

If the plan or the passion doesn’t sound quite right, reach back into the pocket for the next name.

4. Suzy Merchant: Michigan State has made the NCAA Tournament the past six seasons, but slipped to 16-15 this year.

One rough season does not kill a candidacy. The charismatic Merchant, whose smile lights up arenas, is a proven winner and promoter. One problem: She’s a native of Traverse City, Michigan. It’s a state packed with friendly people, and it can be difficult to get a Michigander to move from Michigan.

5. Claire Coggins: Third-year Kansas State assistant coach is in her first year as a full-time, recruiting assistant. For a school without a winning tradition to sell, it’s better to get a bright, charismatic, knowledgeable prospect a year too soon than to wait too long and watch her get scooped up by another program.

Coggins exhibited stellar leadership and outstanding performance on the court and in the classroom during her years at K-State. She has a real presence, and with a veteran X’s and O’s assistant as well as another with rich Texas recruiting ties, such a hire could be a very cagey one in so many ways.
