Budget forecast today TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A new revenue forecast being drafted by Kansas officials will tell Republican Gov. Sam Brownback and the GOPdominated Legislature the size of the budget problems they’re facing.

Legislative researchers, officials in the Brownback administration and university economists were meeting this afternoon to draft the new forecast.

It will revise revenue projections for the budget year that began in July and issue

the first official numbers for the budget year beginning July 2015.

The Legislature’s nonpartisan research staff made unofficial predictions going into the meeting of a $14 million budget shortfall by July, compounding to $282 million

by July 2016.

The new forecast is expected to be more pessimistic.

The budget problems come after legislators enacted massive personal income tax cuts at Brownback’s urging to stimulate the economy.

Moran food distribution hits record MORAN — A food giveaway program to aid local families in need had its most bountiful distribution day in recent memory.

The First Friday Food distribution supplied heaping boxes of fresh and non-perishable food items to 30 people Friday at Moran’s Senior/ Community Center.

The program is organized by the Humboldt Ministerial Alliance, through cooperation from the Chanute Walmart.

Excess commodities from the store are distributed to area communities one day a month.

ERIE — A chain-reaction series of car accidents sent two people to the hospital Saturday evening.

According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, a pickup was westbound on 150th Road and failed to stop at a stop sign at the intersection of U.S. 59.

The pickup struck a southbound car driven by David Stevens, 58, Vinita, Okla., and then spun and hit a pickup driven by Will Harding, 15, Erie. The pickup then drove away from the scene.

About five minutes later, a southbound sport utility vehicle driven by Katrina Herold, 42, Chanute, hit the Stevens vehicle, which had

been stopped in the highway following the first accident.

The impact knocked Stevens’ car into the ditch, ejecting a passenger, Carol Stevens, 58, Vinita.

Carol Stevens had been wearing her seat belt at the time of the first accident, but was not fastened when the car was hit by Herold. She was transported to Freeman Health Systems, Joplin.

Herold was transported to Neosho Memorial Regional Medical Center in Chanute.

Neither David Stevens, Harding nor a passenger in Harding’s vehicle were injured. They were all wearing seat belts, according to KHP reports.

Home-grown marketing opportunities abound

By RICK DANLEY The Iola Register

Project 17 hosted a workshop for small businesses specializing in food products Friday morning at the Bowlus Fine Arts Center.

The group’s larger aim is to improve economic opportunities and quality of life for those living in the 17 counties that make up southeast Kansas.

The focus of Friday’s event was on marketing and e-commerce.

In her opening remarks, Heather Morgan, executive director of Project 17, emphasized the role the organization could play in offering promotional assistance to food sellers in the region. “We know that in southeast Kansas a lot

of local businesses don’t have websites and aren’t selling online. This event is really meant to create opportunities for businesses to increase their sales and grow jobs across the state.”

Among the day’s presenters were members from the Kansas Department of Agriculture (KDA), the USDA — whose Rural Development program has provided grant money to Project 17 — the FDA, plus researchers, instructors and students from Kansas State University.

Product safety comes before successful marketing, said Morgan.

Accordingly, a fair portion of Friday morning’s event was dedicated to food safety.

“Most people think that because they eat food every day, they’re food safety experts,”

Quote of the day Vol. 117, No. 11

said Adam Inman, assistant program manager for KDA’s Food Safety and Lodging Program. Not so.

Take pepper jelly. According to Inman, this spicy-sweet condiment appeared on the radar of the Department of Agriculture earlier this year: “Someone said ‘I make pep-

per jelly.’ Well, they were actually putting the flesh of the jalapeno in. That changes the chemistry of that product.

And so we have to have it assessed to make sure it’s not going to be a risk for botulism, which can cause serious injury and death.

“That little change in for-

mulation kicked it into a ‘product assessment required’ category. Regular jams and jellies don’t have that problem; they have plenty of acid and all the moisture is bound up by the various components. You throw in a pepper, it changes the chemistry and now I have to assess that product. I have to look at the specific recipe, including the size of the peppers used.”

One of Project 17’s goals is to bring this level of free expertise to the local food producer in southeast Kansas.

Londa Vanderwal Nwadike, a food safety specialist from K-State’s Research and Extension program, went on to detail the labeling requirements for selling individual food products. There are four: See PROJECT 17 | Page A2

An added boost came from Marmaton Valley High School students, who brought in hundreds more canned food items.

So full were the food baskets, volunteers had

to hand out other frozen foods separately because they could not fit in the boxes.

“It was a pretty good giveaway,” said Kathy Ward, Moran PRIDE member and local volunteer organizer.

It takes about two hours from start to fin-

ish, from the time the food truck arrives Friday afternoon, to the 3:30 time in which food is handed out to those in need.

Future First Friday giveaways are scheduled for Dec. 5, Jan. 2, Feb. 6, March 6, April 3 and May 1.

tion of those who made victory possible. It’s the day we remember the brave men and women of this young nation — generations of them — who above all else believed in, and fought for, a set of ideals. We keep the story of their sacrifices alive though our remembrance.”

Lt. Col. Weishaar is a member of the command structure of the 891st Engineer Battalion, which has its

headquarters company in Iola. He soon will become battalion commander.

“Today, our nation’s military finds itself at a strategic reflection point,” he said. “In the years ahead, we must transition from combat operations, adjust to new fiscal realities, and prepare to face a new and challenging security environment both at home and abroad. Taken together, these are no small tasks.

“Successfully adapting for the future will be important, not just for our military but also for our nation and for our states.”

Weishaar’s comments about the changing role of the military came a day after President Obama announced deployment of 1,500 troops to Iraq to perform as advisers for that country’s military as it faces off against ISIS. The decision effectively doubled the number of U.S.

troops in Iraq.

Prior to a noon parade, which included a float carrying Vietnam veterans, black balloons were released to recognize Kansans still missing in action.

Command Sergeant Major Alfred Link, who died earlier this year, was remembered with a photograph on an empty chair. Link was the heart and soul of the Veterans Day celebration after its revival about 20 years ago.

Charles Sutton Charles Hubert Sutton, 92, Iola, died Thursday, Nov. 6, 2014, at Allen County Regional Hospital.

Charles was born Feb. 16, 1922, in Garnett, the fifth of seven children born to Roy Armour and Margaret Jane (Smoot) Sutton. He grew up in the Garnett area and served in the U.S. Army from 1942 to 1945.

On Aug. 15, 1946, Charles married Charles Sutton Helen I. McGraw and they made their home in Bush City and Illinois before moving to Iola.

He worked as a pumper in the oil fields and retired after 29 years from Boyer Oil. Charles enjoyed square dancing and was a member of the Red Hots Square Dancing group, Carlyle Presbyterian Church, Iola Lion’s Club and the Odd Fellows Lodge in Fairfield, Ill., and later in Iola.

His wife of 68 years, Helen Sutton, survives, as do two daughters, Linda Bartholomew and husband, Lyle, Iola, and Lynne Sutherland and husband, Joe, Iola; seven grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren and six great-great-grandchildren; and a number of nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, son Larry C. Sutton, grandson Randall Beeman, greatgranddaughter Kayla Marie Roby and six siblings, Elsie, Floyd, James, Bessie Mae, Imogene and Dorothy.

Cremation has taken place.

Memorial services will be at 11 a.m. Saturday at Carlyle Presbyterian Church.

Project 17: Food workshop Continued from A1

the identity of the product; the quantity per package; a declaration of responsibility (your name or the name of your business); and the ingredients (if there are more than two).

For smaller sellers, nutritional facts are not required, unless you make a specific claim for a product — a certain cereal is high in fiber, say — at which point you are required to list the supporting data.

It is also imperative that any allergens in a product are listed. Julie Vosilus, from the Food and Drug Administration, was on hand to underline this point.

“When it comes to labeling, what’s going to get you into trouble are things you know are in your product but you don’t have on the label.

We’re very protective of the young, the old, and those with compromised health systems.”

According to Vosilus, if you don’t list an allergen — either within the ingredient list or at the end of the list — “that’s pretty much a Class I recall, our most severe recall.”

Having determined

that your food product is now safe and accurately labeled, you’re ready to market it.

Stacy M a y o was the f i r s t s p e a ke r to des c r i b e Stacy Mayo the ways her organization is prepared to help. Mayo is the director of KDA’s “From the Land of Kansas” trademark program. The group’s goal is to promote and market Kansas agriculture and agricultural products.

“A lot of times you have a great product and that’s why you’re a great small business owner. But if I can come in and help you develop your product and develop your business as a marketer, that’s what I want to do.

“We as Kansans are very humble. We’re not always good about taking ownership of what we do…. Consumers want to know where their food is from. And people associate Kansas with a safe, wholesome food supply in the Midwest.”

To that end the trademark program has designed wheat-embla-

zoned stickers — the group’s official emblem — that you can attach to your product’s packaging, signifying its Kansas origins.

If you want to sell your product in a store, you will need a bar code for each item. If you plan to ship the items in bulk, then that crate or pallet needs its own bar code. According to Mayo, you can purchase these at a below-market rate from the Kansas Department of Agriculture.

“We really love to see companies meet their dreams, and a lot of times they don’t even know what their dream is until we can throw out some ideas.”

It was a theme one of the final speakers, David Lehman, professor in the Department of Marketing at K-State, would build on. But first he did the painful thing that professors sometimes do. He went around the room and asked everyone to introduce themselves and say why they were there.

About half of the 30 or so in attendance had a professional connection to the speakers or to the speakers’ organizations.

The rest, though, were small food producers or small farmers from

Allen and surrounding counties that Project 17 is endeavoring to assist.

Lehman brought three of his students along to Friday morning’s workshop. They stood in for the larger group of students in his ag-marketing classes who will be working closely with Project 17 to create a marketing plan — whether a new logo or website or social media portfolio — for a number of agricultural or food producers in the area. “We’re here to figure out how we can help you,” Lehman said.

Calvin Parker of Parker’s Greenhouse between Iola and Humboldt attended Friday’s forum.

Parker has been taking his fresh greens, flowers and plants to farmers markets for the past five years. Friday was his first Project 17 meeting.

Parker said he was glad he came and sees the potential advantage in combining his green thumb with the marketing and technological savvy of the K-State students. “I’ve got two boys — a little older than that — and they’ve been telling me the same thing.

‘You need to do this, Dad.’”

~ Journalism that makes a difference

While Wall Street soars, Iola gets a soup kitchen; a sobering disconnect Stocks are trading at record highs on Wall Street.

Meanwhile in Iola, a soup kitchen has opened.

The disconnect is disconcerting.

Since the stock market’s nadir in 2009, inflationadjusted figures report it has grown by 92 percent; corporate profits are up 46 percent and the economy 12 percent.

Household incomes?

Down 3 percent.

With fewer than half of Americans owning stock, and a fraction of those with any substantial investments, most are not feeling the love.

Far from it.

While the incomes of the lower and middle classes remain suppressed, those of the wealthy are performing cartwheels.

Which is why for the first time in Iola’s history a soup kitchen has opened along with its food pantry, the popular monthly meals served at the St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church, and the food backpack program sponsored by Wesley United Methodist.

More than 100 meals were served on Nov. 2, opening day. At this point, it’s a Sunday-only operation at First Presbyterian.

And lest you are tempted to think these people are laggards looking for a handout, prithee, come meet them.

To a one, the able-bodied have jobs. No, they aren’t high-paying jobs. And most aren’t full time, or at least the kind with benefits.

Rather, they work one or two jobs at minimal pay, which earns them enough to get by — almost.

To a one, they are grateful for the free meal that helps stretch their paychecks. And happy to see people care.

Iola also has a program called Circles, which pairs those in poverty with those from middle-income back-

grounds.

The purpose of Circles is to grow a community whose goal is to fight poverty through education and relationships. For those involved, it’s as much of a learning experience for those serving as mentors as those receiving guidance.

VOTER TURNOUT Tuesday was almost 50 percent in Kansas.

Minorities and young voters were the least represented demographics at the polls. Most feel powerless to change a government that increasingly caters to the wealthy.

More than $3.5 billion was spent in this recent election.

According to the Center for Responsive Politics, the campaign that spent the most prevailed more than 80 percent of the time.

Fearmongering and negativity also beat out messages of hope and change.

Locally, the homespun efforts by parents who wanted new schools were no match to their well-funded opponents who flooded our mailboxes with postcards and mailings as well as a billboard.

In the race for U.S. Senate, incumbent Pat Roberts spent almost $7 million against Greg Orman’s $3.5 million.

And Margie Wakefield never had a chance against incumbent Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins, who raised more than $2.3 million — two-thirds from political action committees — compared to Wakefield’s $722,000.

No wonder the poor feel marginalized. Their concerns don’t come with a campaign contribution.

WHICH LEADS us to soup kitchens, in 2014, in one of the wealthiest countries of the world.

Shocking.

— Susan Lynn

Massive inequality, we have learned, isn’t the best way to run an economy after all. And when you think about it, it’s also profoundly ugly. ~ Thomas Frank, author of “What’s the Matter with Kansas.”

Midterm results not a GOP mandate

By CLARENCE LUSANE McClatchy-Tribune News

Don’t jump to conclusions: The sweeping Republican victory on Election Day does not mean the voters have embraced the Republican Party’s ideas, let alone the tea party agenda.

In the main, the election reflected the success of the pervasive anti-Obama drumbeat, the low motivation among many to support Democratic candidates who tacked to the right and the ever-growing influx of money in the political system. It did not represent the triumph of any grand or new ideas from Republican leaders.

The incessant Republican pounding of President Barack Obama worked.

Obama’s low approval nationally was much, much lower in GOP strongholds, especially in the South. Democratic candidates couldn’t figure out how to deal with this. In Kentucky, Alison Lundergan Grimes wouldn’t even say whether she had voted for Obama, although she was one of his delegates at the 2012 convention. Such fumbling helped her opponent, Sen. Mitch McConnell, sail to re-election.

She and so many other Democratic candidates never made it clear what they stood for. Democratic candidates ran away from Obama but to where?

Grimes in Kentucky and Sen. Kay Hagan in North Carolina dared not speak his

name, but that was not a winning strategy. It alienated core constituencies whose support was desperately needed, while winning few moderate or conservative votes. And it foolishly ignored the positives that Obama has brought: a lower unemployment rate and health care coverage for millions who didn’t have it before.

In the last days of the campaign, pleas from Democrats for higher black and Latino turnout were too little, too late. Black voters, according to the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, were

the debacle. After Congress dropped the ball on immigration, he delayed issuing an executive order because he didn’t want to make conservative Democrats address the issue in the campaign. This tactic didn’t succeed, either.

Indeed, it is likely that Sen. Mark Udall lost in Colorado, at least in part, due to a depressed Latino turnout.

Tuesday was certainly a victory for the 1 percent.

The Koch brothers and other right-wing billionaires funneled obscene amounts of money into the election, and

Tuesday was certainly a victory for the 1 percent.

The Koch brothers and other right-wing billionaires funneled obscene amounts of money into the election, and they will very likely get what they paid for ...

crucial to Democratic hopes in Senate and gubernatorial races in Colorado, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, North Carolina and Wisconsin. Democrats lost every single one of them.

Polls show that voters, including Republicans, actually support the substance of many ideas advocated by Obama and liberal Democrats.

On Tuesday, for instance, referendums on increasing the minimum wage and legalizing marijuana won majority support in state after state.

Obama is not blameless in

they will very likely get what they paid for: a Congress that seeks lower taxes on corporations, fewer work and environmental regulations, conservative nominees to the judicial bench and further erosion of the welfare state. And there is no chance for campaign finance reform.

The clear lesson for Democrats is that you have to present an agenda and fight for it.

You can’t run away and hide.

Demise of Berlin Wall: once strangers, now brothers

By FRANZISKA HOLZSCHUH

The Philadelphia Inquirer

(MCT) One day a new girl entered our classroom. I don’t remember her name, but she must have been 7 or 8, as we were.

I still recall the way she looked: Very fair skin, dark curly hair, a bright red coat that had been fashionable several years ago. She spoke with an unfamiliar dialect and smelled strange.

She was different, we noticed at once. That girl came not only from another region but another country; she originated from the German Democratic Republic, often referred to as East Germany.

We, born and raised in the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany), felt uncomfortable and were not sure if we liked the newbie. Rather not.

It was 1989. A couple of weeks before her arrival, on the evening of Nov. 9, the Ber-

lin Wall had been torn down.

Thousands of East Berliners had marched to the Wall and made the surprised and overwhelmed border guards open the gates.

At a moment’s notice, two nations — that once had been one — met, elated, on the streets of Berlin, and soon the same was happening in other places of the two German countries.

But, over the previous four decades, they had become strangers. And people soon realized how far apart they were.

West Germans were startled by Easterners who invaded supermarkets with eyes wide open, did not know what a honeydew melon was, and loaded their carts with exotic fruit and vegetables. It sounds like a myth, but some of my friends witnessed this: Not long after the Wall fell, bananas were sold out in many supermarkets close to the border.

For East Germans the Wende — the collapse of communist East Germany and the creation of a reunified German state in 1990 — meant more than cleared grocery shelves.

They gained freedom but had to cope with a new system — politically, socially, and economically. Soon, in the East, the unemployment rate hit the roof, especially as the well-educated moved to the wealthy West; those who stayed feared to fall behind.

This happened in most former socialistic countries.

I will never forget my first journey to Eastern Europe. My parents took me as an 8-year-old on a day trip to Czechoslovakia, now the Czech Republic. They wanted to visit Marianske Lazne, a spa town famous for its 19thcentury noble mansions and beautiful parks.

It was a gray and rainy day, the bumpy streets did not deserve to be called streets and

dark smoke poured out of the chimneys to the sky. Buildings were run-down, more ruins than glorious houses. Everything — including the people — looked incredibly poor.

I started to cry, desperate to get back to my clean, prosperous West German home.

Since then, I have returned to the East several times.

It has changed a lot over the years. Though it has not yet reached the level of the West — the unemployment rate is still higher, as is the decline in population, and the average income is lower — the economy in East Germany is steadily catching up.

East cities like Dresden, Leipzig, or Weimar are spruced up, beautifully renovated and a popular destination for many tourists. Berlin, the once divided city, is the place to be — not only for Germans but international hipsters. Some of the hottest areas, like Prenzlauer Berg, used to be in the GDR.

The reunification has not been easy: Both, East and West Germans, had to contribute their parts. The achievements were costly — financially and emotionally. But it has been worth it.

Twenty-five years after the Wende, when I meet someone from the East German states, I sometimes can still identify the origin by listening to the dialect — just as I would recognize a Bavarian or Swabian.

I know my counterpart might have another background and other experiences, habits, likes, and dislikes.

But that does not make him a stranger.

Despite all the differences, we are both Germans, part of the same nation. Finally.

Chiefs rally in the fourth quarter to beat Bills 17-13

By JOHN WAWROW AP Sports Writer

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs showed the Buffalo Bills which team just might be better prepared to make a second-half playoff push.

After a slow, sloppy start, the Chiefs persevered in overcoming a 10-point fourthquarter deficit, while the Bills bumbled through a late-game meltdown in a 17-13 loss on Sunday.

“Nobody hung their head.

Nobody was pointing fingers.

They were all positive,” Reid said of his team’s demeanor heading into the fourth quarter down 13-3. “You just had this feeling like good things were going to happen.”

They did, gift-wrapped courtesy of the Bills.

First, Jamaal Charles scored on a 39-yard run on fourth-and-1 to cut the Bills’

MCT/KANSAS CITY STAR/DAVID EULITT

lead to 13-10. Less than 5 minutes later, quarterback Alex Smith scored on an 8-yard run, two plays after Buffalo’s Leodis McKelvin fumbled a punt at his own 26.

Kansas City’s defense sealed the win by forcing the Bills to turn the ball over on downs at the Chiefs 15 after Kyle Orton threw four consecutive incompletions.

While the Chiefs improved to 6-3, the Bills dropped to 5-4 in an outing that began separating the contenders from pretenders in a jumbled AFC playoff picture featuring 11 teams with winning records after Sunday.

The Bills ended a two-game win streak, fell to 2-4 against AFC opponents and squandered whatever feel-good momentum they had coming out of their bye week.

“It’s disappointing, frustrating, all those words,” tight end Scott Chandler said. “I don’t know what to say about

it. We’ve got to be better.”

Things don’t get any easier for the Bills. They face a short week in preparing to play at division rival Miami (5-4) on Thursday.

Here are a number of things that stood out Sunday: UNHAPPY

RETURNS:

McKelvin showed his frustrations by issuing numerous profanity-laced answers when pressed about his fumble.

“This is my job. I take this ... to heart,” McKelvin said. “(Stuff) happens, in the game but you’ve still got to overcome it.”

This isn’t the first time McKelvin has had a costly turnover. In Buffalo’s 2009 season-opener, his fumble on a kickoff return contributed to the Patriots overcoming 11-point deficit in final 2:06 for 25-24 win.

McKelvin is already looking ahead to Miami.

Cancer patients need to be wary of malnutrition Dear Dr. Roach: I recently read that eight out of 10 cancer patients have malnutrition. My question is: Even if a person is very slim to begin with, if he or she follows an extremely healthful diet (i.e. lots of greens, other vegetables and fruit, and no “junk” food), can he or she still face malnutrition? What are its symptoms? — P.M. Answer: Malnutrition is defined as exhibiting two or more of the following: insufficient energy (calorie) intake to maintain weight; weight loss; loss of muscle mass; loss of fat; fluid accumulation; and diminished function, as measured by hand strength.

How often this happens in cancer patients really depends on the type and severity of cancer.

For example, 85 percent of pancreatic cancer patients will have malnutrition, but the rates are much less for other cancers.

You will notice that many of the defining characteristics of malnutrition have to do with change. So, if a person

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health were slim to begin with, that person would still need to have a significant change in order to be considered malnourished by most criteria in the standard definition.

I think that the type of foods eaten is important as well. A calorie isn’t just a calorie: The micronutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, in fruits and vegetables are very different from those contained in junk food, or even those in processed white bread or white rice. Thus, even someone whose cancer is preventing him or her from eating all the calories he or she needs to maintain weight still will do better by eating healthy foods than someone battling cancer who eats lots of poor-quality food.

Physicians and nutritionists are continuing to realize how important nutrition is in chronic illness. We haven’t paid

nearly enough attention.

Dear Dr. Roach: My sister has had rectal prolapse for two years.

She does not exercise or walk regularly, and eats TV dinners. She takes stool softeners. She is afraid of surgery. The rectal prolapse is getting harder to retract back. I am worried because she is losing weight. What is the cause? What are the outcomes with surgery?

— I.T. Answer: Rectal prolapse is the protrusion of the rectum through the anal opening. It happens most often in older women, and often is complicated by pain, bleeding, constipation and incontinence. It can have a dramatic effect on overall quality of life. It is caused by weakness in the pelvic floor, which is most common in women with multiple children and in people with chronic constipation and straining. Severe rectal prolapse is most common in people with dementia or stroke.

There are few treatments outside surgery, but these include a healthy diet (not TV

dinners) and plenty of water and fiber. There are several surgical treatments, which generally have a good success rate and low rates of recurrence, but pose significant risk for complications of incontinence and constipation, though this depends on the function of the bowel prior to surgery. It takes several weeks to recover from the surgery. Odds are, however, that surgery is likely to improve your sister’s quality of life, perhaps dramatically so.

Dr.

Roach

Writes:

Many people wrote in to tell me of stores that sell generic medication (like the lisinopril the writer was unable to get) at very low cost. The issue isn’t always just the cost of the medicine, it’s seeing the doctor. Also, many doctors will see their patients for free during a period of no insurance, but not all can or will do so, and people on many medications, including lisinopril, need bloodtest monitoring periodically. Lab tests can be prohibitively expensive, but there are low-cost options.

Bryce Brown losing a fumble, and turning the ball over on downs on four drives inside the Chiefs 20. Brown was three steps from the goal line when Kansas City back Ron defensive Parker punched the ball loose. The ball bounced into the end zone, where Chandler had it go off his fingers and out for a touchback.

Late in the third quarter, the Bills went ahead 13-3 by settling for Dan Carpenters’s 21-yard field goal after Orton threw two incompletions from the Chiefs 3.

STELLENBOSCH, South Africa (AP) — Prosecutors said today their application to appeal against Oscar Pistorius’ manslaughter conviction and fiveyear prison sentence will be heard in a Pretoria court on Dec. 9.

It wasn’t yet decided if the Olympic runner — who is in jail in the same city — would attend the hearing, his lawyer said.

Prosecutors have said Pistorius should have been found guilty

PICK ON PARKER:

Parker didn’t mind being targeted by the Bills.

The fourth-year defensive back was in on eight tackles, forced Brown’s fumble and then knocked down three passes in stopping the Bills on downs at Kansas City’s 15. That included knocking down Orton’s fourthdown pass to rookie Sammy Watkins at the 1. “I didn’t really feel picked on,� Parker said. “If they want to make a play, then they will go to their go-to guy (Watkins). I was prepared and ready for anything.�

BY THE SACKFUL:

Marcell Dareus had three of Buffalo’s six sacks to up the Bills’ total to 34.

The Bills entered the game ranked second in the NFL with 28 sacks, and extended their streak to 22 games, seven short of matching the franchise record set from 1996-98. Mario Williams had a sack in his sixth straight game to match a career best set in 2007 when he was with Hous-

of murder for killing girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. Their appeal against Judge Thokozile Masipa’s initial verdict and sentence has “reasonable prospects� of success, they said.

Masipa found the double-amputee athlete not guilty of murder for shooting Steenkamp through a toilet cubicle door in his home, ruling that Pistorius did not intend to kill when he fired four times.

ton.

The Chiefs, who entered the game tied for third in the NFL with 27 sacks, were limited to one by tackle Dontari Poe. DEJA VU: Dareus experienced a familiar sense of dread in watching the Chiefs rally to victory during their sec-

ond consecutive visit to Orchard Park. Last year, Kansas City scored two second-half defensive touchdowns to overcome a 10-3 deficit in a 23-13 win. “That was going through my head,� Dareus said. “At the same time, it’s a tough loss and we just have to overcome it.�
