Mayor announces last forum of year is set next week

Bonner Springs Mayor Clausie Smith will have his Mayor’s November Open Forum 6-7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 28, at a study room in the Bonner Springs City Library, 201 N. Nettleton. Residents have the opportunity to discuss items of concern with Mayor Smith.

The forums generally take place on the final Wednesday of the month, except for during the holidays, so the mayor will be not have an Open Forum in December.

School board schedules special meeting next week

The USD 204 Board of Education plans a special meeting at 6 p.m. Tues-day, Nov. 27, at the district office, 2200 S. 137th St., to discuss a search for a new superintendent and conduct an executive session related to that discus-sion.

Superintendent Robert VanMaren announced last week that he would retire at the end of this school year after 21 years with the district, having been superintendent since 1996. He said dis-agreements with the school board over the last two years caused the board to decide it would not extend his employ-ment contract, resulting in his decision to retire.

Information compiled by Gil Hoag,National Weather Service observer

Jamie Dierking, regional manager of communications for the Ameri-can Red Cross, answers questions about disaster relief.

Q: What effect does a disaster such as Superstorm Sandy have on the American Red Cross?

A: This is likely to be the biggest Red Cross response in the U.S. in the past five years, and we have mo-bilized the full resources of the or-ganization across the country to get help to people. More than 5,800 Red Cross workers from all 50 states are offering support. About 90 percent are volunteers.

Q: How impactful was the benefit concert to help Superstorm Sandy victims?

A: “Hurricane Sandy: Coming Together,” a live, one-hour benefit telethon aired on the networks of NBCUniversal, generated nearly $23 million in support of victims impact-ed by Superstorm Sandy.

Q: What disasters have provided the biggest challenge locally?

A: The Kansas City region of the American Red Cross has experi-

enced several large disasters, in-cluding the great flood of 1993 and the Hyatt Regency Skywalk collapse in the early 1980s. Recently, the out-pouring of support following the tornado that struck Joplin was tre-mendous.

Q: When do people give to the American Red Cross?

A: Many people make charitable contributions at the end of the year as part of their holiday tradition. Nationally, donations in December account for about 20 percent of all nondisaster contributions.

Q: With disasters come scammers. How can people combat against such practices?

A: The Red Cross urges people to not provide any personal or finan-cial information to unknown indi-viduals. The Red Cross encourages people to give to reputable organi-zations with a history and “do their homework” before they give. People may check with the Better Business Bureau (bbb.org) or Charity Naviga-tor (charitynavigator.com) for infor-mation on charities.

Students help Feed His Lambs with special Thanksgiving

A local organization and some grade

school students are making sure that more area families get to celebrate a traditional Thanksgiving.

With the help of students at Ed-wardsville Elementary School, volun-teers with Feed His Lambs rearranged their weekly meal deliveries for area families in need this week so that fami-lies will get their meals today instead of Friday, just in time for Thanksgiv-ing. Baskets organized by the students contain every Thanksgiving meal ne-cessity; the students even took time Monday and Tuesday to make pump-kin pies for the meals.

The Thanksgiving meals were ar-ranged thanks to Kristen Moulin, who recently joined the board of directors for Feed His Lambs. As a counselor at Edwardsville Elementary, she helps the organization identify families that would most benefit from the weekly meals the organization supplies, and she thought Feed His Lambs would be a worthy recipient of the Thanksgiv-ing food baskets the school has orga-nized in the past.

“Every month our school tries to do a community service project, and we’re trying to make it more locally-

based, just trying to help more people within our community,” she said.

The school had a food drive last week to collect all of the ingredients for pumpkin pie, green bean casserole, stuffing, corn, cranberries and sweet potatoes. Each grade level had a cer-tain assignment to gather food for 60 baskets, and on Monday, the third-grade students helped make pumpkin pies.

Students also brought in $2 for the right to wear pajamas to school one day last week, and the funds raised from that day were used for grocery store gift cards for the families to pur-chase turkeys.

Patti Ward, who leads Feed His Lambs, said last year, the organization just started its mission of delivering meals to families in need in USD 204 a few weeks before Thanksgiving, so it wasn’t able to organize a special meal. Instead, families were directed to the annual Community Thanksgiving Din-ner at the First Christian Church.

She said volunteers were happy to be able to deliver families a meal be-fore Thanksgiving rather than after.

“Our volunteers really have taken this on as their mission, and they go above and beyond what they actually need to do,” Ward said. “They’ve re-ally gotten to know the families, a lot

of them, and formed a relationship.“They’re the ones that actually see

their faces when the kids get apples, or when the kids get something they’re excited about, and it’s very reward-ing.”

Feed His Lambs continues to work with a limit of 60 meals a week; be-cause families of six or more get two meals, the organization currently serves 44 families, who generally re-main anonymous to the organizers.

“The people in the program – they

are hitting a rough patch. They have not been in a poverty situation forev-er, but they have hit hard times due tojob loss or medical bills,” Ward said.“They need some help just to get themover this rough spot.”

But Feed His Lambs continues to grow its awareness. It had a successful fundraiser with its pie contest during Tiblow Days, and a second fundraiser is approaching with its Chili Dinner during Bonner Springs’ Candy Cane Christmas event, 5-8 p.m. Dec. 3.

Henry David Thoreau

COMMENT

Sometimes, if you read comments made in the letters to the editor col-umn in the daily newspaper or listen to talk radio, you would think that the entire country is one huge mess. It seems to me that we need a national dose of enthusiasm and thankfulness. While I’ve been accused of being the eternal optimist, I really believe that our best days are ahead. It is time to return to our national optimism.

Certainly part of the problem is that we just completed the national elections and maybe that is reason enough to be thankful and happy. The trou-ble is that we have spent so much time demonizing each other that we have lost our belief in the future.

First, we need to remember that our nation has come through a lot of tough times before. The first Thanksgiving was set during the midst of the brutal and bloody civil war. Thankfully that national bloodbath ended and while it took a lot of time, we finally were able to heal the wounds and move forward.

We have celebrated Thanksgiving in much darker days than now. Of course, there was the long, brutal de-pression, followed by World War II. We certainly can be thankful that the greatest generation moved our nation forward.

Do you remember the anti-govern-ment feeling during the Vietnam War? Many truly believed that protests would lead to the end of our nation. Yet, as quickly as it started, the pro-tests ended. I am thankful that cooler heads were elected to office and re-stored our nation.

It’s time to let the rancor of the elec-tion go and work together. We can

be thankful that there is a glimmer of cooperation in Washington, D.C., and it needs to grow from embers into a blaze of progress working to move the nation forward.

The list of national challenges goes on and on. Yet in each and every case, Americans have stepped up to answer the challenge and a stronger nation emerged. Certainly, the future

is bright if we grasp it. I am thankful that our great nation will be even stronger and more prosperous in the future.

Let’s banish pes-simism and become optimistic about the world. We can be

thankful that many evils have been eliminated, yet there is much more to do.

Personally, we all have a lot to be thankful for in our everyday lives. One person told me than he would never be happy about getting up in the morning and going to work. He said he changed his mind. After two years of being unemployed, he is thankful ev-ery day for the opportunity to earn a living. Yes, those who have a job have much to celebrate.

I am thankful for a lot of little things. I never thought that I would be joyful that I can type a column again. After having a stroke, I soon learned to cel-ebrate tying my shoes or my tie. I am happy to be able to attend my grand-sons’ sporting events and make it, with a bit of help, into the stadium. My list could go on and on, but I am most thankful for my wife and family.

For me, thanksgiving comes 365 days a year. I am happy to be alive. Ev-eryday is a new thrill – an adventure – no matter how mundane.

City to seek contract, other EMS alternatives

Action taken by the Edwardsville City Council last month has created some questions about the future of ambulance service in the city.

At its Oct. 8 meeting, three of five council members voted not to approve a contract with private firm AMR to provide ambulance services beginning Jan. 1, 2013. The city will continue to use the Kansas City Kansas Fire De-partment as its ambulance service, but city officials say they must either cre-ate a new contract or seek another op-tion for a service provider.

Edwardsville created an interlocal agreement with the Kansas City Kan-sas Fire Department for ambulance services in 2004, but that agreement expired in mid-2010. With no official contract since then, the fire depart-ment has increased its charges for am-bulance services from $75,000 for 2010 to mid-2011, to $150,000 for the follow-ing year, and now to $225,000 through June 2013.

Mike Webb, city manager, said the city will continue to utilize the Kansas City Kansas Fire Department at the rate provided but will ask the depart-ment for a long-term solution in the form of a contracted rate before city staff goes back to the council.

“We would certainly like to have something that has some stability in it from a budgeting standpoint,” Webb said.

The city may also look at the costs for a city-provided service like the one in Bonner, which utilitizes volunteers and would require the city to purchase an ambulance, in addition to partner-ships other with public services or pri-vate firms.

A contract with AMR would have increased the cost of ambulance ser-vices, but when council members heard a presentation from the firm at a meeting in September, they seemed to think the cost was worth it.

The $245,000 contract would be $20,000 more than if the city were to continue receiving ambulance ser-vices through the Kansas City Kansas

Fire Department.Mark Mathies, chief of police and

fire services for the city, told the council in September that he support-ed AMR because the company would house its ambulance at the city fire station, meaning decreased response times and greater lifesaving poten-tial. He said the city’s firefighters and other city staff also could take part in training that AMR would provide its ambulance employees.

AMR asked for a city subsidy of $245,000 in the first year, with a 3 per-cent increase each year through year five. The subsidy was calculated using a mileage fee of $14 plus a base rate of $848.47 for each call response, based on the number of ambulance respons-es the KCKFD had reported in 2011 in Edwardsville. The ambulance would have featured both AMR and city of Edwardsville branding.

But at the council’s Oct. 8 meet-ing, several members of the KCKFD attended to protest the decision, six of them Edwardsville residents who spoke against AMR. In the end, only council members Chuck Adams and John Eickhoff voted to support the AMR contract.

Gary Carpenter, a resident who at-tended the Oct. 8 meeting, said he thought is was inappropriate for Coun-cilman Mark Bishop to discuss the fact that he was a KCKFD battalion chief in questions he posed to AMR repre-sentatives.

But Webb said that because the vote was on the AMR contract, not KCKFD’s contract, there was no con-flict of interest under state statute.

“All I can say is that with AMR, we would have had a contract on how business is done and that would help with future budgeting for Edwards-ville,” Eickhoff said following the meeting. “AMR is qualified to be a ser-vice to us. The KCK fire department does do a great job, but we have noth-ing in writing on how much it would cost residents, we actually have noth-ing in writing with them at all.”

The Chieftain requested comment from other Edwardsville council mem-bers but received no response.


Kansas City Kansas Community Col-lege will be participating in the world’s largest celebration of innovators and job creators during the week of Nov. 12-18.

As part of national Global Entrepre-neur Week, KCKCC Workforce Develop-ment will have two programs.

Three area experts on managing ben-efits will talk on improving benefits for entrepreneurs, their business and their employees at the Tuesday program. Open to all interested persons, the cost is $10 and includes breakfast. Pre-reg-istration is requested by contacting Jay Matlack at 913-288-7210 or [email protected].

Three successful Kansas City area entrepreneurs will share their personal journeys and answer questions at the program on Wednesday. There is no charge for the program.

Journey, who grew up in Basehor and graduated from Bonner Springs High School, is a fan of GRIT maga-zine on Facebook. So when she saw the publication was looking for con-testants in a new game show last Feb-ruary, she signed up thinking it looked interesting. After a brief interview, the show invited her to film on a scorch-ing August afternoon in Burlingame.

“Tough Grit” calls itself the Rural America Challenge and is a DIY game show that incorporates rural-lifestyle experts at GRIT magazine and Trac-tor Supply Company with competitive challenges. Journey, 32, was paired with Hank Will, editor-in-chief of GRIT magazine.

“It was fun to meet him,” she said. “He is a really nice guy.”

With the guidance of Will, Jour-ney’s challenges were to plant a tree

and complete a birdhouse pentathlon, which required her to complete a se-ries of challenges such as constructing shelters for different kinds of birds.

In order to win the grand prize, $1,000 to Tractor Supply Co., she had to complete her tasks before her competitor.

Planting the tree was no easy chal-lenge, especially on a hot day during a drought, Journey said. She had to dig

a hole 18 inches deep and three feet across for her tree, plant it, mulch and water.

Fortunately, Journey said, her expe-rience planting trees in her mom’s or-chard in Basehor helped her out with the challenge.

“I usually don’t do it all by hand, though,” she said with a laugh.

Journey ended up winning both of her challenges, landing her the grand prize.

“I’m enjoying spending my prize money at Tractor Supply,” she said.

Shelly Journey, Hollie’s mom, said she wasn’t surprised her daughter did so well, but she was surprised how quickly she could plant a tree.

“We’re pretty amazed that she won, but I wasn’t surprised,” she said. “Hol-lie’s so good at everything she does. She’s very creative.”

As a 4-H member, Shelly recalled, one of Hollie’s crowning achieve-ments was to train a donkey. Everyone told her she wouldn’t succeed with the

notoriously stubborn animal, but by fair time, Hollie could get her donkeyto back up on command, winning her apurple ribbon.

Journey’s episode, “The Birds andthe Trees,” will air at 6 p.m. Monday on DirecTV channel 345, Dish Net-work channel 231 and Knology chan-nel 108.

Viewers can also watch the show online at toughgrit.com.

Libraries struggle to provide e-books

Visitors to the Tonganoxie Public Library are letting director Kelly Fann know that they aren’t there just for tra-ditional paper books.

“I do a one-on-one with a patron at least once a day with an e-reader de-vice, whether it’s an iPhone, an iPad, or a Kindle, or a Nook, you name it,” she said.

Though a recent national study found that 62 percent of the popula-tion was unaware e-books were avail-able at local libraries, that’s not the case for the Tonganoxie library’s regu-lar patrons.

“Most of our community knows that e-books are available, it’s just not the ones they want, or the hold list (for the e-book) is just as long as it is for the book form, if there even is the book available that they want,” Fann said. “So there are a lot of frustrations to get over with it.”

As e-reader devices become more common, area libraries — like librar-ies across the country — are facing multiple obstacles when it comes to providing their community with the digital option of the books on their shelves. But library directors say stay-ing up to date with e-books is an im-portant service to the community.

At the Basehor Community Library, patrons are a little bit ahead of the curve: for the past year, the library has been offering e-reader devices for check-out and has been able to of-fer a wider selection of e-books than many libraries. But Diana Weaver, the library director, explained two major obstacles for libraries with e-books in a presentation for the Association for Rural and Small Libraries that she called “Aiming for a Moving Target:” what publishers decide to make avail-able for libraries, and the cost of keep-ing up with technology.

“Things change constantly in that market and especially in the way that publishers and vendors relate to li-braries,” she said. “Probably one of the things that people don’t realize is libraries can’t get a lot of the e-books that you can get from Amazon or Barnes and Noble.”

Nationally, the number of people who read e-books is growing, accord-ing to surveys conducted by the Pew Research Center’s Internet & Ameri-can Life Project. In mid-December 2011, 17 percent of American adults reported reading an e-book in the pre-vious year; by February 2012, the num-ber had increased to 21 percent.

So area library directors say the need to provide e-book services is important not because paper books are becoming obsolete — indeed, the same Pew surveys found 88 percent of e-book readers also reported reading paper books — but because e-books are becoming an important part of providing the community with read-ing material.

“When you look at the decision to go into e-books, it’s really long-range — we have to start building the abil-ity to have it and to solve the prob-lems up front, otherwise, it will pass us by, and there will be a whole group of people who will never have a shot at it,” said David Hanson, director of the Linwood Community Library. “I think it’s a solution you have to invest in, otherwise you won’t be there when whatever happens to e-books happens to e-books.”

Weaver said it falls in line with li-braries’ mission to educate the com-munity and to provide equal access for all.

“Our purpose is to teach people to learn about the things that they hear about or they are curious about,” she said.

Kim Beets, director of the Bonner Springs City Library, also said the new method of reading seems to be en-couraging more people to read.

“I think e-books are creating this whole new generation of readers,” she said.

Library directors say most patrons aren’t aware why libraries are lim-ited in what e-books they are able to provide. One roadblock is limitations publishers are enforcing that are not enforced on paper editions.

“Publishers are in somewhat of a bad situ-ation because they’re looking at what hap-pened to music,” Weaver said. “When music be-came digital, with Nap-ster and everything, it really tanked the music publishers’ market, and the publishers are afraid the same thing is going to happen with the book market.”

So some publishers aren’t making e-books immediately available — for example, the Harry Potter series just became available for libraries in the e-book market. A few

publishers won’t even allow sales of e-books to libraries.

Other publishers are ramping up costs: Random House has increased pricing to libraries by 300 percent. An-other publisher increased costs by 104 percent for libraries. Best-seller “Fifty Shades of Grey” costs $9.99 as a con-sumer e-book; libraries are charged $47.85 for the same digital title. On printed books, libraries typically get discounts from consumer prices.

Digital rights management software in each e-book file ensures that it is used basically in the same way as a pa-per book. E-books can’t be copied, and once a check-out period is up, access to the book files is blocked, though they are not deleted from the device.

And publishers are enforcing lim-its on the number of times an e-book is read — for example, Harper Col-lins has decided a digital copy may be checked out just 26 times, and then a library would have to repurchase the book.

Weaver said publishers view this as 26 people reading a book that is only being purchased once. But she said publishers don’t consider that those 25 people might not have bought the book anyway — they might not have

read it at all, or borrowed it from someone else.

“(Publishers) are looking at libraries more closely than they ever have be-fore,” she said. “They’re not recogniz-ing the value libraries always provided for them, which is discovering new authors, promoting the very culture of reading, which has always built their business. But they’re not seeing that right now.”

Digital book technology in itself is another roadblock for libraries: the digital book formats are not all com-patible with the multitude of e-reader devices.

If libraries buy a file for Amazon’s Kindle, it won’t work on the Barnes & Noble Nook — forcing them to buy every e-book at least twice. The various formats and e-reader devices also make it hard to keep library staff trained on their use, as well as adding difficulty in training the public on how to use them. Weaver said when her li-brary tried to have an e-reader class in January, their patrons brought seven different types of Kindles alone.

“We’ve had classes, and basically we’ve just come down to saying bring in your device and we’ll teach you how to use it,” she said. “So the idea that we can keep up with this technol-ogy makes it a real challenge for us.”

Hanson said this is libraries’ “sec-ond time at the rodeo” with download-able content. The first time, libraries tried to support audio books, but the service providing audio books for li-braries didn’t support iPods, which became the dominant portable audio device.

“The lessons learned from that ex-perience are that if you can’t deliver on the hardware of choice, it makes it incredibly difficult,” he said.

That lesson is being repeated with e-books, leaving local libraries search-ing for a solution. In Kansas, anyone with a state library card can check out e-books through the state’s EZ Li-brary. However, that service, provided through technology conglomerate 3M Co., does not provide e-book formats for older versions of one of the most popular e-readers, the Amazon Kindle.

“Kansas has been really, really inno-vative as far as pushing libraries into

the e-book market and really making them available,” Beets said. “But a big barrier has been that a lot of patrons have the Kindle, and (Amazon) only wants to work with one vendor.”

That vendor is OverDrive, and a consortium of Kansas libraries is join-ing that service in order to open e-book checkouts to patrons with Kindles.

The Basehor library has had a con-tract for the past year with OverDrive through the Sunflower E-library con-sortium. Made up of about 20 libraries in the state, consortium members sign individual contracts with OverDrive for access to a shared collection, but each individual library can purchase just books for its own patrons.

The Bonner Springs and Linwood libraries are joining the consortium and will launch OverDrive by the end of the year; Bonner hopes to have e-readers available for checkout after the first of the year. Fann said Tongan-oxie is trying to join the consortium to launch in early 2013.

The Johnson County Library has found another solution that will work with newer Kindle Fires. Andrew Wa-then, collection development manag-er, said the library has a contract with book distributor Baker and Taylor for its digital medial library, Axis 360, which the library is currently testing and hopes to make available to patrons by the end of the year.

Wathen said because the new Kin-dle Fires function as an Android de-vice, users can download applications to read different file formats from Axis 360.

“So the new Kindle is going to be fine,” he said, adding that the library has purchased $300,000 worth of e-book content. “We’re very excited about delivering the product, which we think will be very versatile and works on most devices.” He said in-formation about that service will be posted on the library’s website when it is available.

Other libraries aren’t ready to take further steps. Kathy Johnston, director at the Baldwin City Library, said while it has some patrons ask about e-books, the library staff directs them to the state service. They don’t have plans to provide a service for Kindle users just yet.

“We hope that the state library would get that ironed out, and we would contribute to that,” Johnston said. “If not, then we may reconsider.”

GREAT HOMES NOT PICTURED

Inside the Basehor-Linwood gym-nasium, giant team photos depicting the school’s two boys basketball state championship teams are in full view from nearly any angle.

The second banner, the one earned during last season’s 23-3 run, followed by three seasons the program’s first title won in. As BLHS coach Mike Mc-Bride sat inside the empty gym one af-ternoon before the start of this latest title defense, it became apparent that the two seasons separating the ban-ners could prove every bit as instru-mental in creating future triumphs.

“To be honest, I didn’t put the kids through the grind I did in 2009 and again in 2012,” McBride said of 2009-10 and 2010-11.

Translation: Forget any talk of a honeymoon season.

“This isn’t going to be easy,” Mc-Bride said. “Everybody’s going to be gunning for us.”

Complicating matters early, the Bobcats will be without 6-foot-4, 235-pound senior Ben Johnson, who will be out of the lineup until after winter break rehabbing a sore knee.

McBride confirmed the news with the Sentinel on Monday after Johnson visited with a physician to determine whether he would have to sit out his final season. McBride said Johnson noticed discomfort last year and has had little time to rest his knees be-tween playing multiple sports.

Fearing the need for season-ending surgery, Johnson visited a doctor on Monday, where no such damage was


In April, the weight of Bonner Springs senior Anna Deegan came down on her knee, her anterior cruci-ate ligament tearing with a sickening pop, ending her spring soccer season and paving a long path back to the bas-ketball court for her final season.

Though her being cleared to practice six months after the injury is on the quick end of timetables for ACL tear recov-eries, Deegan still must wait until the first week of De-cember to learn whether she is cleared to play.

Each recent visit to the doctor has cleared a hurdle, pushing Deegan ever so closer to being ready to lead the Braves in a season in which they will

try to follow up on last year’s fourth-place state tournament team, the best in program history.

But while she has most recently been cleared to do all but play in a game, Deegan will have to sit for a few more excruciating weeks and watch her team open the season at the Eudo-ra Tournament. The earliest Deegan

could return is the Dec. 11 game at Basehor-Lin-wood.

“You have to be motivated,” Deegan said. “It’s hard not to get down, but you can’t get down and think it’s all

not worth it. It’s worth it for me be-cause I want to get back. You have to try everything and give your all.”

Deegan, who led the Braves in scor-ing last season with 14.4 points per game, has had plenty of time to adjust to having her role relegated to being off the court early on. That’s not to say the summer was without its val-

leys. For one, she said, Deegan missed out on a summer of AAU ball, which she has relied on to improve her game each offseason. And she couldn’t bring herself to attend parts of some of the Braves’ summer tournaments, the emotional pain of being off the court every bit as heavy as the physical pain that hobbled her.

“She is driven by her competitive-ness,” BSHS coach Clay Oakes said. “She’s hates being on the sideline. She had a mentality that she would do whatever it takes and work twice as long to get back as early as possible.”

With a return finally within view, Deegan and Oakes can begin to think about what this team can do to make a run in the always-competitive Kaw Valley League.

Four key seniors — Yessenia Her-nandez, Erin Marx, Erica Wilson and Emily Wilson — are gone, leaving Deegan and senior Haley Hoffine (5 points, 4.8 rebounds per game) to lead a young but talented lineup.

“We’ll have a lot more team speed this year,” Oakes said. “We’ll be a to-tally different type of team. Some of the things we do will be completely different.”

Junior Kennedy Bizzell is a player Oakes said took advantage of the sum-mer to boost her game. Oakes is also looking forward to a breakout season by his sophomore class, led by Kay-

leigh Taylor and McKayla Bennett. As a freshman, Taylor began to see some time on varsity as the season wore on, and is a player Oakes will count on to help fill some of the void in rebound-ing left by Marx and the Wilsons — she won’t be alone, however, as Deegan and Hoffine ranked second and third in that category, respectively.

Oakes called Bennett one of the fastest post players he’s seen in terms of spanning both ends of the court.

“Whenever you have your five po-sition as the first one down the court sometimes,” Oakes said, “you know you have a little bit of team speed.”

Sophomore Morgan Lawrence, a Basehor-Linwood transfer, is another player Oakes said he is counting on to lend some size. And freshman Ju-lianne Jackson will see some varsity minutes this season, too.

“She’s going to step in and be a huge part of what we do this year,” Oakes said.

Oakes said the question of how well the Braves defend bigger players in-side the paint remains to be seen. And while BSHS will field a much younger lineup than last season’s squad, Oakes said he thought the Braves went a long way toward addressing their inexpe-rience with a strong summer tourna-ment showing.

Fitting then that they’ll begin the season without Deegan at the Eudora Tournament from Dec. 3-6. They’ll be looking for more than just a strong start to the season that week. BSHS will also be holding its breath as it awaits Deegan’s final hurdle to be cleared.

About three years ago, when former Bonner Springs basketball coaching Andy Price was contemplating accept-ing an offer for a job that he once had, he called Dan Streit. The two had pre-viously coached the Braves and both had stepped down, so Price wanted to see if Streit wanted the position this time.

At the time, Streit had no intentions of being a head coach, but was lured into a fourth assistant job. Price com-piled a nice record the past two sea-sons, 15-6 in 2010-11 and 16-6 in 2011-12. More importantly, he had a system in place that proved effective. But it would be short lived as Price accepted an information technology director position at Ottawa High in January.

It would have been a shame for the Braves to start over with a new coach-ing staff after such a monumental stretch for the program.

“We both told ourselves that we would see it all the way through,” St-reit said.

To keep the tradition going, Streit won the job and he enters his first year as head coach. It’s an easy tran-sition given the circumstances. He has known the players and system for years, conferred with some head coaching decisions as an assistant and has worked with the players all sum-mer. The only speed bump is the loss of eight seniors, four of them starters.

Junior Jordan Jackson is the only returning player with true varsity ex-perience. Austen Twombly, Lawrence High transfer and nephew of Braves girls basketball coach Clay Oakes, gives the roster a welcome boost.

A group of former JV players will take their chemistry to the varsity side this season including Tyler Howell and Brandon Moore. Streit can’t say for sure how effective each player will be this season, but he thinks he has a collection of capable players.

“If Austin’s hitting from the outside and Jordan’s doing his thing around the perimeter, Tyler could have a heyday inside with his size because nobody in

the league can match up to him,” Streit said. “I look for good things. Wheth-er that equals out to wins or losses, I don’t know.”

Though Streit will keep much of the Price game plan intact, he is going to add a few wrinkles partly to fit his players, partly to fit his coaching style.

“My approach is a little bit different than Coach Price’s because I’d rather get my offense generated by what my defense is doing and not necessarily have to come down with a set play,” he said.

Last year’s Kaw Valley League champions and eventual state title winners, Basehor-Linwood, graduated twins Ryan and Colin Murphy, and most of the league’s teams have under-gone several changes in the offseason. Streit trusts in what he has.

“I’m my honest opinion,” he said, “I look at ourselves as one of the top four teams in the league. Now, whether we are or not, I don’t know.”

That’s the bar. The question is if his players will reach it.

“That’s up to them to decide,” Streit said.

The Braves’ Black Orange Scrim-mage will be on Nov. 27, and the regular season will begin at the Paola Tournament on Dec. 3.

First-year BSHS boys coach doesn’t think young Braves team is far from contention


BSHS BOYS BASKETBALL COACH DAN STREIT seeks to finish what he and former head coach Andy Price started.

By Angelique McNaughtonContributing Writer

Jason Tatkenhorst may have had a chance to get to know his players briefly during the summer, but when the Basehor-Linwood girls basketball team started practice this month, Tat-kenhorst officially became “Coach”.

“Now it’s time for the players to do work,” he said. “I feel like the players are really trying hard (because) they know they have to make a good im-pression.

His inaugural practice on Nov. 12 wasn’t without its hesitations and un-certainties.

“The players have been well trained with past coaches and of course I’m used to going on court and having the team know what I want,” he said. “But since it’s my first year, I’m having to adjust as well and explain things a bit more.”

Tatkenhorst worked with the team during the summer for camp, sum-mer league and weekly workouts. The Bobcats participated in two weekend tournaments and won more than they lost throughout the summer, Tatken-horst said.

Tatkenhorst was hired in May fol-lowing the announced departure of former coach Noah Simpson last sea-son.

The Bobcats went 8-12 last year un-der Simpson, whose tenure included three state tournament appearances — including a third-place finish in the 2011 4A state tournament.

The familiarity and routine that the seniors had grown accustomed to throughout the last three seasons is being replaced by a different style.

“It’s just a different experience and I’m still getting used to it,” senior Sa-mantha Rutherford said during the first week of practice. “He definitely has a different coaching style. It’s not bad it’s just more intense and he ex-pects more out of us.”

Rutherford, who started playing a bigger role last year on varsity as a post player, said each player will get better focusing on the “little things” that Tatkenhorst stresses.

“The girls have a real good attitude and the first week was all about work-ing on practice habits,” he said. “The first couple weeks of the preseason

need to be hard and challenging.”Taking over an already successful

program and introducing something new hasn’t phased Tatkenhorst at all, who came into the job knowing what he’s picking up.

“The girls, the parents and the com-munity all expect to have a chance to go to state and the expectations are high for this program,” he said. “I’m excited for that and I want to be in a program that has high expectations.”

Returning starter and leading scorer senior Jamie Johnson said she definite-ly wants to make it to state in her final season as a Bobcat.

“I have been to state (my) freshman and sophomore year and we didn’t go to state last year,” she said. “I want to win games (this year) and go far.”

Johnson, at guard, is coming back from a broken elbow suffered last year against Tonganoxie.

“It feels good,” Johnson said of her left arm. “I’m just ready for everybody to come together and play as a team and to show the coach that we are ac-tually good.”

Tatkenhorst, a former head coach for 12 years in Great Bend, said he will

stress man-to-man defense and play-ing the entire court.

In his 17th year of coaching, Tat-kenhorst, a Kansas native and former player at Pratt Community College and Bethany College, said he hopes his new squad can look to him and know that he has been there before.

“I do feel like I have the experience, although coaches will always learn,”he said. “We (coaches) think we’vebeen through it all but there’s alwaysgoing to be some new situation outthere.”

Tatkenhorst and his wife, Stacy, a special education teacher at BLHS,and their three boys, Kade and Kurtis, 13, and Kamden, 12, moved to Basehorthis summer.

With a 228-128 overall record, whathas worked in the past for Tatkenhorst is an aggressive offense and up-tempo game with players looking for the easybucket and hoping to out-work the op-ponent.

Despite the missing height of gradu-ated seniors Maggie Hattock, CaraMcCarty and Bailey Hooker, the ros-ter has a good balance behind seniors Kara Stephens, Johnson, and Ruther-ford.

“Each class below them has really a good balance, and I see good freshmanand sophomores and three seniors that are good, committed players,” he said.“We definitely have a group of about seven girls that are a notch above ev-erybody else.”

The Bobcats open the season onNov. 30 against Bishop Ward.

“We hope to have a long season,”Tatkenhorst said. “And we want to beplaying in March.”

Inside the Bonner Springs High au-ditorium, before an audience of fam-ily, peers, coaches and even a few Basehor-Linwood friendly rivals, BSHS senior Logan Terrell took the microphone during a ceremony of his signing a letter of intent to play base-ball at Pittsburg State University.

“Whoa,” he said.It was an appropriate summation of

how this all came together, how a sum-mer showcase tournament in Pitts-burg generated enough interest for the Gorillas’ Division II program to send an offer Terrell’s way. Thursday in the auditorium marked the culmination of that journey, an end to the search for a spot at the next level and a weight lifted well ahead of his senior season.

“Takes a lot of pressure off of me that’s for sure,” Terrell said after the ceremony. “I know what’s set next year and what I need to do this year.”

That means building off a season in which the Braves finished 5-16 but saw their core of young players — includ-ing four freshmen — become a unit capable of put-ting eventual 4A state champion St. James Acad-emy on the ropes in the regional tournament.

L a t e - s e a s o n splits against Tonganoxie and Base-hor-Linwood, coupled with the 3-2 loss to St. James helped show a young team under then-first-year coach Scott Lero what it could accomplish. Ter-rell’s signing on Thursday marked an-

other step in that direction.Sitting just a few rows to the left

of the stage after the ceremony, Lero looked on as five players lifted their shirts to reveal “L-O-G-A-N” painted on their bellies and as Terrell and teammates later

huddled for a team picture.“This right here is a really good

sign,” Lero said. “A lot of those guys up there are ones who will be on the varsity field this year. They’re prob-ably now thinking, ‘oh man, I want

to (have a college signing ceremony) too.’”

Lero said that over the summer, he and Terrell figured his best shot at playing college ball was as an out-fielder. Terrell had already made the switch from shortstop to second baseman in the spring. But it was in

the outfield, Lero said, where Terrell could best showcase one of his stron-gest skills.

“He’s speed,” Lero said. “He’s a coach’s dream. You can do so many things with speed.”

That, and batting on the left side of the plate, made Terrell an attractive prospect to Pittsburg State coach Matt Murray.

The position change came at an op-portune time for Terrell, whose par-ticipation in an August baseball tour-nament in Pittsburg set in motion the steps that led to signing his letter of intent. With family ties to the college, Lero said he wouldn’t have been sur-prised seeing Terrell attend the col-lege without a baseball scholarship. That he’ll be heading down there a fu-ture Gorilla outfielder makes the mo-ment that much sweeter.

“It was pretty quick for him,” Lero said. “It’s kind of really good match: that’s where he wanted to be and they want him there.”

Lero said Terrell will anchor the Braves’ centerfield position come spring. It’s a spot that, if helping lead to a college career wasn’t enough, also has a comfortable feel for Terrell.

“I loved it,” Terrell said of playing the position this summer. “I’m a lot better outfielder than I am a second baseman. I think it just kind of all fit.”

found. Instead, he will sit out at least the first five games of the season, which begins Nov. 30 against Bishop Ward. The first game after winter break will be at home on Jan. 8 against Mill Valley, on the short list of teams expected to contend for the Kaw Val-ley League title this season.

“I kind of owe it to my teammates to play for them and to try and repeat,” Johnson said in a recent interview.

During his junior season, Johnson averaged more than 10 points and five rebounds per game and defended the state’s top-ranked recruit, Ottawa’s Semi Ojeleye, in the state title game.

With the graduation of seniors Co-lin and Ryan Murphy, Johnson will be looked at as one of his team’s primary leaders upon his return. And yet while both Murphy’s depart career 1,000-point scor-ers and notched a combined 33.7 points and 15.5 rebounds per game last season, the task of filling that void won’t be Johnson’s alone.

“He doesn’t have to go out and sell his soul and he doesn’t have to go play the other team’s best player all the time,” McBride said. “Just let the guards do their thing and he can pick up the trash. That’s the fun thing: he doesn’t have to come in thinking he has to be the man; he can have fun with the game.”

Those guards are juniors J.P. Down-ing and Chase Younger, whose perfor-mances in the state tournament did as much as any other player toward bringing home the program’s second trophy. And as much as anyone, the Bobcats’ fortunes will continue to be dictated by the pair, who now possess larger roles.

Downing and Younger will also be joined at times by fellow junior Zach McNabb, another member of a sud-denly deep talent pool.

“If he figures out he’s as good as I know he is,” McBride said of McNabb, “he’s going to be really good. The kid can shoot from 30 feet. I watched him hit 11 threes against Lawrence Free State over the summer.”

McBride called Younger, who fin-ished fourth in scoring last year with 9.7 points per game, one of the team’s best athletes. This year, however, Younger will suddenly be tasked with adjusting to having the other team’s top defender on him.

“It will be a little different look for him,” McBride said. “It’s something I

can’t coach —something he has to fig-ure out.”

Downing, meanwhile, will lead the offense on most nights at point guard, a position in which McBride expects him to thrive in the next two seasons.

“He has a great understanding of the total picture and tells other people where to go,” McBride said.

Matt Ogilvie, a 6-foot-3 senior, will have the chance to start in Johnson’s absence with 6-4 sophomore Carson Fliger also in the mix for playing time.

“Matt Ogilvie is going to be huge,” McBride said. “Very athletic. He doesn’t catch the ball very well but his lateral movement for his size is in-credible.”

Juniors Tim Sanders and Andrew Magana, sophomore Broc Lindsay and freshman Jahron McPherson are also players McBride said the Bobcats may rely on this season.

When talking about McPherson, McBride smiled and lowered his voice, as if in fear of giving away too much.

“He’s really good,” McBride said. “Yeah, he’ll be in the varsity rotation. His de-fensive quickness is as good as all the juniors. He’s got a lot to learn about the game, but I foresee him by the end of the year helping the

program.”The program. That is what this has

become. By the time a freshman steps on the court each year, McBride will have often already met the athlete, perhaps even having known him for a few years. Recognized by the Kansas Basketball Coaches Association as the coach of the year last season, McBride said he should be expected to field a strong roster each season having been at the school for nine years.

But having as many options as BLHS has at the ready goes a long way toward the Bobcats remaining in the KVL title hunt after graduating two of the school’s most decorated players.

Still, the Murphys’ contributions to the program couldn’t possibly be understated. And while waiting for a young rotation to come into form, the Bobcats may lose a few early. McBride has said he expects as much.

“We’re not expecting a major fall,” McBride said. “Are we state champi-onship caliber every single year? No, I’m not going to say that. Do we have a chance to get to state every year? Yes.”

After the first championship, Mc-Bride said the perception of that team was that it was lucky. If that was the case, he said, 2012’s championship was earned.

“I don’t think they can say Basehor-Linwood’s lucky anymore,” McBride said.

FOODMEALTIME IDEAS AND RECIPES FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

Rugelach: A Jewish cookie you can give to anyone

My sister, Mary Pat, is the born baker in the family. She has a sweet tooth that she has polished into a fine baking skill. Everything she makes is delicious, but she is famous for her ru-gelach.

As is common with rugelach, the recipe is passed down from family baker to family baker.

This recipe originally came from our cousin Vera, but my sister has lov-ingly tweaked it to make it her own. It is made with sour cream instead of cream cheese, making the pastry light-er and flakier than most rugelach.

She also uses a simple filling of cin-namon-sugar and toasted pecans that perfectly complements the delicate dough and gives the traditional Jewish cookie a Southern flavor.

Most other recipes use walnuts, chocolate, raisins, cinnamon-sugar and jam to fill the cookies, often times in combination. But this is a cookie

that I think benefits from the less-is-more rule. And that’s why I love my sister’s version so much!

The key to making rugelach is not overworking the dough. You also have to keep the dough chilled and work fast or you will lose the flaky-melt-in-your-mouth texture. This is espe-cially true with Mary Pat’s sour cream dough; it is very delicate.

There are many different ways to shape the cookies, but I love my sis-ter’s streamlined technique the best. She rolls the chilled dough into a cir-cle, then uses a knife or a pizza cutter to slice the cinnamon-sugar topped circle of dough into 16 wedges. Then she just rolls the rugelach up into cres-cents.

Once the cookies are cool, Mary Pat packs them into brightly colored cook-ie tins lined with a bit of waxed paper or tissue paper to keep the rugelach from breaking.

And you don’t have to be Jewish or celebrate Hanukkah to love these ru-gelach. My sister makes them all year long and gives them as gifts.

Cinnamon-Pecan RugelachStart to finish: 1 1/2 hours, plus chillingMakes 48 cookiesFor the dough:2 cups all-purpose flour1 cup (2 sticks) butter, cut into chunks1 egg yolk3/4 cup sour creamFor the filling:1/4 cup packed brown sugar1/4 cup granulated sugar1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans1/2 teaspoon cinnamonSift the flour into a large bowl. Add the

butter, then use a pastry cutter or 2 but-ter knives to cut the butter into the flour until fully incorporated and the mixture resembles small peas.

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and sour cream, then add to the flour mixture. Mix well to form a dough. Shape the dough into a disc, then dust with flour. Divide the disk into thirds, then wrap each piece in waxed paper. Refrigerate several hours or overnight.

Meanwhile, to prepare the filling, in a food processor, combine both sugars, the pecans and cinnamon. Pulse until

finely ground, then set aside.When ready to assemble, heat the

oven to 375 F. Line a baking sheet with either a silicone baking mat or parch-ment paper. Work with one piece of the dough at a time, leaving the others in the refrigerator until needed. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each piece of dough into a circle about 1/8 inch thick and 12 to 13 inches around. Sprinkle a bit of the filling over the dough, then use a rolling pin to gently press the top-ping into the dough. Use a paring knife or pizza cutter to cut the circle into 16 wedges (make 8 cuts across the circle).

One at a time, roll up each wedge starting with the wide end. Gently curl the ends inward to resemble a croissant. Sprinkle a bit of the filling over the rolled rugelach, then place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining wedges, then repeat the entire process with the remaining thirds of the dough.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until browned on top and the sugar has melt-ed and caramelized around the sides of the cookies. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Store in airtight containers.
