Smith broke the Triple Jump record with a distance of 38’ 7” beating the previous record by 2’3”. “I was ecstatic when I found out that I broke the record,” commented Smith. Roepke followed suit by breaking the school record in the 400 M with a time of 62.88 seconds. “I was really excited and proud,” state Roepke who did not realize she had taken the record until Coach Gordon shared with her the news. The team will be tying up their season with the league meet today at Washington. KS Pension Reform Bill to Governor By Gene Meyer KansasReporter TOPEKA, Kan. - Kansas House members sent a compromise plan to more-fully fund state pensions one step closer to becoming law Tuesday, even though it lacked a key feature many wanted. The House voted 89-30 to approve a new financing plan for the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System that passed the Kansas Senate Monday. The measure now goes to Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback for approval. Brownback, who has named KPERS' underfunding as one of the state's most pressing challenges, is expected to sign the plan into law. The plan requires teachers, state and local government workers and other plan participants in 2013 to choose between contributing larger shares of their salaries to their KPERS pensions or settling for a less generously calculated pension when they retire. It also accelerates the rate at which taxpayer contributions to the plan increase each year beginning in 2014 and calls for the creation of a 13-member commission to come up with a more fundamental plan for legislators to consider in 2012. KPERS, which is the state's largest pension manager, tending retirement money for about 250,000 teachers, workers and retirees, faces what is officially projected to be a $7.7 billion gap between benefits it has promised members and the money it will have to pay those benefits between now and 2033. The plan did not include a requirement many House members wanted, including state House Pensions Committee Chairman Mitch Holmes, a St. John Republican, that would have stopped offering traditional pension benefits to teachers and goverment workers hired in 2013 and offered them 401(k)-style retirement savings plans instead. Such a switch would limit Kansas' taxpayers future exposure to funding shortfalls, but do nothing to plug the gap that exists now. "We're not happy with this, but something has got be done now," Holmes said. Holmes and other supporters say they believe there is a good chance that the new commission will propose switching the plan to either a savings plan or some hybrid that combines such a plan with some of the guarantee features of traditional pensions. Both Brownback, who will pick five members of the commission, and House Speaker Mike O'Neal, a Hutchinson Republican who will pick two, have indicated they think such a switch is needed. Kansas state Rep. Charlotte O'Hara, an Overland Park Republican, voted against the plan, saying she believed the plan will do nothing to restore KPERS' financial health.

The proposal would have affected workers in the judicial branch, who currently receive yearly longevity bonuses of between $500 for 10 years of service and $1,250 for 25 years of work. Opponents of ending the payments likened them to the bonuses that private sector employees receive around Christmas time. Rep. Nile Dillmore, a Democrat from Wichita, said the money helps retain employees. “American businesses know the cost of retaining good workers is much less than hiring and training new workers,” Dillmore said “You don’t want to have constant high turnover, all it does is drive costs up.” According to legislative researchers, abolishing the bonuses would save the state more than $6 million from the state general fund, and about $15.1 million from all funding sources. Lawmakers who favored the bill said they would like to reward state workers based on merit rather than the number of years working for the state. “We need to be increasing their ability to receive money from overtime and other ways of earning income, this simply recognizes longevity,” said Rep. Pete DeGraaf, a Republican from Mulvane, who carried the bill on the House floor. Rachel Christie and Aaron Long in front of the Kansas Wesleyan in Salina.

For example, saying “It is nap time, do you want to lie down now?” is not really an option if your rule is everyone will rest at nap time. Show respect for children. Talk to misbehaving children in private, remind them of reasons for rules, and discuss what they can do differently. Catch children being good. All children want attention. It is better to give them positive attention for good behavior than negative attention for misbehavior. Comment on something positive about each child, each day. Better yet, strive for several times a day. Praise like a good coach instead of a cheerleader. A cheerleader just shouts general praise: “What a great job!” or “What a beautiful picture.” A good coach tells you what you’re doing right, uses praise as a teaching tool, and lets you know why he or she is proud of you. If a child sets the table, you might say, “You did such a good job setting the table! You put the spoons and forks in the right place and remembered the napkins!” When you look at a child’s painting, you might remark, “This painting just glows with color. You used blue, green, red, yellow, and orange. Tell me how you did this!” Share the good news. Remember to share children’s good behavior with others. When children have done something good, mention it to other children and to parents. Use play activities to teach children social skills. Use children’s books that show how children resolve problems. Play “what if” games. Become a character in children’s pretend play and show children how to use good manners and be kind to the baby doll. Teach children how to resolve conflict and problem solve. Help them recognize feelings, identify the problem, come up with ideas for solving the problem, and try possible solutions. Teach children how to apologize. Learning how to apologize is a skill. Young children have a hard time understanding another child’s feelings, but by the time they are 4 years old they should begin to recognize apologizing is a good way to make up for hurting someone else. Teach preschoolers and school-age children the four basic steps of apologizing: • Look at the other child. • Say the child’s name. • Say “I’m sorry.” • Say why. Keep it simple: e.g., “Lucas, I’m sorry I hit you.” With time and practice, children will not have to be prompted, and their apology will be more genuine.

Latta County Extension Agent BASIC TOOLS FOR GUIDING YOUNG CHILDREN’S BEHAVIOR Children do not grow up on their own; they need adults to teach them. They need to know the rules — what is okay and what is not okay. As a child care provider, your knowledge about how children learn and grow will help you guide children in ways they can understand at each age level. For example, two-year-olds have limited understanding and need a lot of redirection, but five-year-olds can learn to be good problem solvers. Here are some basic tips for guiding children’s behavior. Remember different strategies work best at different ages. Keep rules simple and easy to understand. Discuss rules with children and write them down. Consider children’s suggestions for rules. Repeat the rules often. A few rules that work well with children include: • We help each other. • We take care of our toys. • We say please and thank you. • We are kind to each other. Say what you mean. Use dos instead of don’ts. Choose your words carefully, especially when you are guiding children’s behavior. Keep sentences short and simple. Focus on what to do rather than what not to do. • Try saying: Slow down and walk. Instead of: Stop running. • Try saying: Come hold my hand. Instead of: Don’t touch anything. • Try saying: Keep your feet on the floor. Instead of: Don’t climb on the couch. • Try saying: Use your quiet voice inside. Instead of: Stop screaming and shouting. Talk with children — not “at” them. Children often don’t hear you when you are talking (or shouting) “at” them. You will be much more effective if you get down on their level. Look them in the eyes, touch them on the shoulder, and talk with them. Set a good example. Children watch you all the time. They see how you talk to other children and adults. They see how you cope with anger or frustration. They watch how you deal with sadness and joy. They listen to how you say “I’m sorry.” The way you handle the ups and downs of life teaches children a lot about how to behave and get along with others. Encourage children to set good examples for each other. Children learn a great deal from each other. Encourage appropriate ways to share, play, and be kind to each other. Give clear, simple choices. Toddlers can choose between a red cup and a green cup. Preschoolers can choose between playing “airport” and “zookeeper.” Give children a choice only when there is a Jail Report...
