Opinion: How a sewage bill turned into a pension bill

Fan with cancer reflects on lifetime of memories SPORTS • PAGE B1

TUESDAY, APRIL 3, 2018

BY EMILY DELETTER HERALD.NEWS@WKU.EDU

H

undreds of people from counties around Kentucky gathered in Frankfort on Monday to protest the recently passed Senate Bill 151, a water sewage bill that was amended last-minute to include the state’s pension reform plan.

Senate Bill 1 was originally designated as the pension reform plan. The 291-page Senate Bill 151 is listed as “An act relating to the local provision of wastewater services,” but the entirety of the bill is dedicated to the pension reform plan. The bill was passed

by Kentucky lawmakers late Thursday evening and will land on Gov. Matt Bevin’s desk to be signed or vetoed.

If Bevin signs Senate Bill 151, teachers hired after Jan. 1, 2019, will not be placed on the traditional pension plan. Instead, they will receive “cash-balance retirement plans that would invest retirement contributions from employees and the state and guarantee that the plans wouldn’t lose money during a stock market crash,” according to WFPL. Current public school teachers would lose the money they had put into KTRS, the Kentucky Teachers’ Retirement System. KTRS is the current retirement policy for public school teachers, which includes every public university in Kentucky except the University of Kentucky and the University of Louisville.

Protesters gathered in front of the capitol building chanting phrases, such as “120 strong” and “united we stand, divided we fall.” Many of the public schools not closed for spring break this week were closed to compensate for the absence of teachers who took off to rally in Frankfort. People also gathered at the capitol to protest on Friday.

Marilyn Hoffman-Elrod is a retired first-grade teacher who taught at Garden Springs Elementary School in Lexington for 32 years. Elrod said although she was retired, she still felt it was important to protest to “show solidarity with other teachers”.

“We want to get the word out about what’s happening here,”

linemen to get our chemistry down.”

Rising redshirt senior running back D’Andre Ferby said that Sanford has made the ground game much more of an emphasis in spring practice, and fixes are being made throughout the practices.

“Things we watched on film from last year that can easily be fixed, they are being fixed during the spring,” Ferby said. “It’s been a great improvement.”

Rising junior running back Quinton Baker has been removed from the WKU football team for violating team rules, the program announced Saturday.

“Due to consistent violation of team rules, running back Quinton Baker is no longer a member of the WKU football program and was removed from the team’s roster on Friday,” the program said in a statement.

Baker was apart of an altercation at the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity house at WKU last year, which resulted in a one-game suspension for him at the beginning of his sophomore season. Tyler Obee and rising redshirt sophomore Xavier Lane were also involved, and both were suspended one game. Drew O’Bryan, Cecil Stallings, Jahcour Pearson and Chris Johnson were also team members involved in the incident.

Baker was charged with, and pleaded guilty to, second-degree wanton endangerment and fourth-degree assault under extreme emotional distress.

With Baker’s dismissal, only two of the players involved in the altercation remain on the team. Four of them have left the program early, which includes Obee, O’Bryan, Stallings and Baker. Chris Johnson completed his senior season in 2017.

Baker was also arrested in April 2016 prior to his freshman season on charges that included operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs and possession of marijuana.

Baker announced his intention to transfer from WKU Saturday before the program released its statement.

“Attending WKU was an honor and a privilege,” Baker said on Twitter Saturday. “I learned a lot about myself as well as the game of football and life. I’m walking away a better athlete athlete and a better young man. Looking forward to opening my recruitment back up and for the next

Hilltoppers making strides in run game

@GovMattBevin Tonight 49 members of the Kentucky House and 22 members of the Kentucky Senate voted not to keep kicking the pension problem down the road ... anyone who will receive a retirement check in the years ahead owes a deep debt of gratitude to these 71 men & women who did the right thing.”

9:26PM • March 29, 2018

Hoffman-Elrod said. “Most people don’t understand the importance of this bill. Kentucky is nothing without our public schools.”

Bevin has previously been a vocal supporter of the pension overhaul. After the bill was passed in both chambers, Bevin tweeted, “Tonight

49 members of the Kentucky House and 22 members of the Kentucky Senate voted not to keep kicking the pension problem down the road ... anyone who will receive a retirement check in the years ahead owes a deep debt of gratitude to these 71 men & women who did the right thing.”

Kentucky Attorney General Andy Beshear disagreed with Bevin’s approval of the bill, and he appeared on the Capitol steps to speak to protesters.

“Today we’re seeing democracy,” Beshear said through a megaphone. “You call this governor disgusting? I call him one and done.”

Beshear also told the crowd he planned to sue if the bill passed, reiterating a video statement he posted earlier.

future of Kentucky education.

“It’s unfair because teachers have been paying [into KTRS] for years,” Vogel said.

BY EMILY DELETTER HERALD.NEWS@WKU.EDU Attorneys representing both the Herald and WKU will appear in court Friday, April 5, to present oral arguments concerning the ongoing lawsuit between the university and the newspaper.

Both the College Heights Herald and the University of Kentucky’s student newspaper, the Kentucky Kernel, are named plaintiffs in the case.

Oral arguments are a chance for attorneys to further explain in court the

arguments made in their briefs. After both sides present their arguments, the judge can make a case decision, and either the plaintiffs or defendants have a chance to appeal the decision.

Lawyers from the attorney general’s office will also be present.

WKU’s first season under head coach Mike Sanford was a turbulent one. The change in staff was made worse by a loss of star power from the Hilltoppers’ roster, and that was made even worse by the fact that the Hilltoppers had the worst run game in the nation.

The Hilltoppers ranked dead last out of 130 teams in FBS in total rushing yards. They had only 791 for the season. WKU only averaged 60 rushing yards per game and 2 yards per carry. The Hilltoppers were also the only team in the country without a single run of 20 yards or more last year.

With no rushing attack to speak of,

Hilltoppers get series win with comeback victory

BY CASEY MCCARTHY HERALD.SPORTS@WKU.EDU The WKU softball team clawed its way back to win on Sunday against Texas-El Paso to secure a second straight Conference USA series win.

On a cold weekend that saw the Hilltoppers and Miners trading runs and leads, WKU (23-14, 7-5 C-USA) pushed its way up what’s currently a crowded conference standings.

“Anytime we can get a conference series win it’s huge for us,” head coach Amy Tudor said in a press release. “When our backs were against the wall today I thought we really stepped up and performed well both offensively and in the circle. The crowd played a huge role in this victory for us today. I’ve never heard this place get that loud and we certainly appreciate everyone coming out and being as vocal as

they were.”

The Hilltoppers continue to lead C-USA in doubles, triples, RBIs and on-base percentage. WKU pushed its home run total to 28 on the year, with bombs from freshman Jordan Thomas and sophomore Paige Carter in the weekend series. Carter, whose homer on Sunday helped WKU retake the lead, is also second in C-USA in RBIs with 33 on the season.

Carter said she never doubted the team could come back to win Sunday’s game.

“I had faith in our team putting up runs,” Carter said. “We put up 14 runs yesterday, so I didn’t really think it was an issue.”

The Hilltoppers took the first game of the weekend 10-8 after only a combined two runs through the first three innings. With UTEP

CAPE-ABLE Start of a new tradition

BY LAUREL DEPPEN HERALD.FEATURES@WKU.EDU

Brendan Ward has made a name for himself at WKU. More commonly known as the “Red Towel Guy,” Ward said he wants to promote spirit in WKU athletics.

What makes Ward stand out from other Hilltopper fans at sporting events is his outfit that he made completely out of Red Towels. The outfit features a variety of towels that Ward said he has collected since the beginning of his academic career at WKU. He recalls having over 30 towels sitting around his room and deciding to turn them into a cape.

“I used to wear [the cape] around campus a lot to see how people would take it in,” Ward said.

Soon after, Ward said he still had a lot of Red Towels, so he made pants and a shirt.

“I always like to do things,” Ward said. “It was something I was doing whenever I was bored. I would just pick up my towels and stitch them together, and then it became a whole outfit.”

Originally from Memphis, Tennessee, Ward is a broadcasting major. He recalled finding WKU and growing to love it.

“I can come here, I can learn, enjoy free games, get my education and still be a college student who learns and makes mistakes,” Ward said. “All of this is in one place and I still have people to support me. That’s the sense I get from WKU. It’s very supporting.

You can be crazy. You don’t have to worry about being judged. You can be you. That’s what I became when I first started wearing my outfit.”

BY LAUREL DEPPEN HERALD.FEATURES@WKU.EDU

Ward channels this love for WKU in his spirit at athletic events. Ward met Aaliyah Hawkins, who he calls his game buddy, at a football game in 2017. Ever since then, the pair has been attending games together.

Hawkins described her game experiences with Ward as “exciting.”

“You never know what he is going to say,” Hawkins said. “He will make jokes about the players, coaches and the fans. He chants all the cheers at the game, even if the band, dancers or cheerleaders are not saying them.

Overall, he will make you laugh and enjoy yourself.”

Ward said he takes great pride in standing out at games. He said that if he didn’t want to stand out, he wouldn’t wear the outfit. Hawkins called him “the most dedicated fan out there.”

In just four years, WKU alumni Chris and Tori Gerbig started Pink Lily Boutique, an online fashion source that has surpassed $50 million in sales.

The Pink Lily Boutique offers a wide range of women’s and children’s clothing including athletic and swimwear, formal attire and more. Co-owner Tori described the Pink Lily style as catering to women searching for trendy clothing that has a “bright, colorful and upbeat aesthetic.”

Jim Morris, 65, has been known as Hillbilly Jim for over 30 years, and his upcoming induction into the WWE Hall of Fame has given the former professional wrestler a chance to reflect on a life that remained fruitful long after his decision to retire.

Morris was born in Scottsville and after moving a few times, his family put down roots in Bowling Green just before he started high school. He has kept his home base in Warren County ever since.

During his days at Bowling Green

High School, Morris developed into an All-State basketball player, and he received scholarship offers after graduating in 1971. Morris wound up playing at five different institutions during his collegiate career, and he said the difficulties he faced helped him determine his future career trajectory.

“I was really made more for individual sports,” Morris said. “I loved the concept of team sports, but I soon realized that you could do your very best every day and you would still lose if your team got beat. I didn’t like that part, and I felt like that just wasn’t the right kind of payoff for me.”

After his time in college concluded in the late ‘70s, Morris played profes-

sional basketball in Europe before deciding to pursue competitive weightlifting. Morris said in the process of getting stronger and training more rigorously, he found his way to WKU. “I’m forever grateful to WKU for affording me even though I never enrolled one semester,” Morris said.

“They would let me come up to Smith Stadium and work out with so many great WKU athletes. All the coaches loved me, and I even had the great Gene Keady approach me one time about helping some of his skinny and weak boys train.”

Standing over 6 feet 7 inches tall and weighing 320 pounds, Morris became a successful weightlifter in his 20s.

Campus Pride investigated Transylvania University, University of Kentucky, Northern Kentucky University, University of Louisville, Morehead State University, Spalding University and WKU, according to the index. The

universities were scored on a five-star system.

WKU ranks second to last with two stars, just ahead of Morehead State with 1 ½ stars. UK and U of L are ranked the highest with nearly perfect scores, according to the index.

Pam Johnson, a professor in the school of journalism and broadcasting who teaches media diversity courses, said she is surprised WKU scored so low.

“Clearly I cannot condone a performance in which we are ranked six out of seven,” Johnson said.
