That illustrates the com plexity of trying to compare one bad year with another.

MORAN — It’s important to love people where they are in life, and allow God to make whatever changes are necessary to help them grow, according to Pastor Mathew Kalmeta with Midpoint Bap tist Church in Moran.

But dry, hot weather is nothing new in this semi-ar id part of the world. And experts like Hutton and Kansas State University me teorologist Chip Redmond said frequent breaks in the heat and timely bits of mois ture have kept 2022 from surpassing the records set by the most extreme years in Kansas history.

As it stands, Allen’s web site — allencc.edu — is infor mation-heavy, and difficult to navigate to find basic infor

mation for prospective stu dents, Peters said.

And Dodge City is merely one hot, dry spot in a state that’s only occasionally found itself this warm and parched.Drought currently covers nearly three-fourths of Kan sas. And roughly one-third of the state is in extreme or exceptional drought — the highest levels on the U.S. Drought Monitor scale.

That doesn’t mean 2022’s drought hasn’t had grave consequences. The timing and location of some of this year’s harshest conditions devastated crops, as western Kansas wheat farmers saw earlier this summer.

Online, many owners, trainers, pet store workers, and regular people talk about their pet’s diet, bad experiences they have had, what foods have made their animal look healthier, and what supplements they add to “upgrade” their kibble. All of this is subjective, which doesn’t make it necessarily untrue, but this advice may not be applicable to all pets.

Before starting on an alternative diet or adding supplements, owners should always consult with their regular veterinarian.

for pet food, many owners have a tried-and-true brand that they are loyal to. Some owners, however, may be interested in switching foods or unsure of what makes a good food. When someone doesn’t already know what they are looking for, it can be difficult to navigate the world of pet food and alternative or fad diets that circulate in forums and on social media. Buzz words and phrases such as grain free, all natural, raw, and farm fresh appear on brightly colored bags featuring claims of health benefits and promises of a better quality of life for pets. While these forms of marketing are not inherently bad, they can often be misleading or confusing when an owner is trying to provide the best for theirIfpets.anowner is just starting out or starting over with a pet’s diet, it is important to know what to look for. Some brands that veterinarians recommend are Hill’s Science Diet, Purina Pro Plan, and Royal Canin. These brands have had extensive research and feed trials led by veterinarians and veterinary nutritionists. If these foods are not available to an owner for any number of reasons, it is important to find a food that meets Association of American Feed Control Officials standards, is labeled as “complete” and “balanced,” and has had feed trials on real animals. This gets the animal started on a general maintenance diet.

Gasoline pump prices skyrocketed, boost ing the inflationary spiral caused by supply-chain dis ruptions and a surge in con sumer demand. Republicans are doing their best to draw voters’ attention to these is sues and pin the blame on Biden and the Democrats, just as they tried to blame then-President Barack Obama in 2009 for the eco nomic meltdown he inher ited from George W. Bush’s administration.Atleastduring the pre vious supply-chain dis ruptions, the trains kept running. If they stop, even briefly, the nation’s trucking fleet could not come close to filling the gap.

But no matter how much goading occurs from the GOP to portray this as an election issue, this is about preventing more economic disaster from piling onto the existing problems that, red or blue, are certain to make all Americans suffer.

Sen. Lindsey Graham’s proposal to restrict abortion access in all states after a fe tus reaches 15 weeks of ges tational age is an affront to women’s rights and should be rejected.Every U.S. senator should oppose the plan, which the South Carolina Republican introduced Tuesday.

ted Putin allies like Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov can barely contain their frus trations, and thousands of pro-Russian factions in oc cupied territories have fled, further eroding the longterm viability of a Russian presence.Evenwith this welcome news, war is hell, and this one should end. It would be way overblown to say that the recent gains mean Ukraine has won or is close to victory. The madman Pu tin won’t just retreat and ad mit a total military defeat. Yet the drubbing has made Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov sing a differ ent tune when it comes to peace talks. Whereas a few months ago he scoffed at the idea of negotiations, this week he said, “we are not against the Ukrainiantalks.”President Volo dymyr Zelenskyy should engage in these talks in good faith. He rightly re sists offering territorial concessions to Russia. Putin should understand this and walk away with some of his military still standing. He can choose to call it “nego tiated strategic victory” or whatever else he wants.

The stunning victory is significant enough from a purely territorial perspec tive, but an equally lasting impact might be the tonal shift in the war. Russian troops, many newer re cruits brought in to replace Russia’s huge losses earlier on in the war, reportedly dropped their weapons and abandoned their posts in desperation. Even commit

The “mainstream” media misled the public. The prochoice community had too much money. Yard signs were stolen, they claimed. The vote itself was corrupt, and a re count was needed.

Just as bad inflation news sent stock markets plunging on Tuesday, another crisis looms with the threat of a na tionwide railway strike that could send new shockwaves through the financial sys tem.

This is the last hiccup President Joe Biden needs as the nation slowly makes headway toward an eco nomic recovery. But if Re publicans are rubbing their hands with schadenfreude glee at the opportunity to blame all the repercussions on the Democrats, they might want to be careful how they phrase it. By sup porting a strike by train engineers and conductors, Republicans risk being seen as cheering the economic ca lamity that certainly would punish all Americans with more supply-chain interrup tions.Meanwhile, Biden and the Democrats risk appearing to side with big business over unions if Congress or the White House take steps to block the strike. Alienating unions could lead to disas ter ahead of a tight midterm election.

When we imbue rituals with meaning, we mark as “sacred” the times and spac es in which we collectively take note of what binds us to gether during difficult times, challenging transitions and moments of reflection or lev ity, from holidays to comingof-age ceremonies and mar riages.Inthe coming weeks, as we mark the queen’s death and the elaborate transition to the reign of Charles, let’s reflect on the power of ritual to ex plain ourselves to one anoth er, unite us and help us heal.

His serving, forehand, footwork and attacking style will all be remembered. Also unforgettable were his matches against younger rivals Nadal, 36, and Djokovic, 35, who both equalled, then surpassed, Federer’s Slam total and are still winning titles at the sport’s four biggest tournaments.“Iwish this day would have never come,” Nadal said. “It’s a sad day for me personally and for sports people around the world. I said it to you when we spoke and now it’s here. It’s been a pleasure but also an honor and privilege to share all these years with you, living so many amazing moments on and off the court.”Nadal now leads the men’s major championship count with 22, one ahead of Djokovic.

Federer leaves the sport with a total of 103 tour-level titles on his substantial resume and 1,251 wins in singles matches, both second only to Jimmy Connors in the Open era, which began in 1968.

“Tennis has treated me more generously than I ever would have dreamt,” Federer said Thursday, “and now I must recognize when it is time to end my competitive career.”

“I knew a few weeks ago that his rehabilitation with his knee wasn’t going as well as he had hoped. A few weeks after Wimbledon, he informed me that the knee was not reacting as well as it should and that he was thinking about ﬁguring out a way to end his career,” Tony Godsick, Federer’s agent since 2005, said in a telephone interview Thursday.

Where does Archie fall?

Who’s the best at it?

Archie’s pretty good. I have to say the bulk of our sports trivia growing up was us bleeding his database. So he knows his stuff. My dad’s always been a big reader and he loves just staying current and knowing what’s going on but also likes to talk about the good old days, and so we’ve been good listeners for a long time.

We have always been big trivia folks, even stems back to driving in a car with my dad. We used to play a game called “20 Questions.” A lot of times for us, it was more sports related and we were always really interested in trivia. We loved “Jeopardy.” Even back at home, we played a lot of Trivial Pursuit. Yeah, I think we like little nuggets of information that you can trump one another

We don’t lack confidence when it comes to trivia, so ever ybody’s going to say they’re the best. But Peyton and I can go head to head and we’ll give Eli a distant third.

Truthfully, we don’t get the questions and the answers until 90 minutes before the show So Peyton has to go in a room and make sure he’s pronouncing ever ything correctly especially because he’s doing that rapid fire. So a lot of times, if he says something wrong, that can alter the interpretation of the question and therefore can alter the answer And I am tr ying to go through and find a few little tidbits out of pretty high-level tunities for some light-hearted chances of making Peyton.

there was almost no ﬂu activity (back when we were wearing masks and socially distancing very carefully). For most years, getting the vaccine in September or October is ideal, because the vaccine takes two weeks or so to become effective. The vaccine lasts roughly six months before the protective effect is lessened.

DEAR DR. ROACH:

Because the ﬂu season went on so long this year, people who got vaccinated early, such as in August, were potentially at higher risk toward

As always, there are many flu vaccines to choose from, and it does not matter much which one you choose. People who are over 65, or who have weakened immune systems, should consider one of the highdose or adjuvanted flu vaccines (Fluzone HighDose, Flublok or Fluad), but I would still recommend getting a regulardose vaccine if you can’t find one of these higherpotency vaccines at the time you want to get vaccinated. to get vaccinated by October

Considering these unusual times, would it make sense to get the vaccine earlier this year? My husband and I are over 65. — S.A.

Last year, at the ofﬁce I practiced in New York, there were two peaks of inﬂuenza activity: one that began in November and peaked in midDecember, and then a second, larger peak in April and May (but with some activity lasting until June). This was similar in other parts of the country. This contrasts sharply to the previous year, when

the 2022-2023 flu season, with two influenza A viruses (H1N1 Victoria and H3N2 Darwin) and two influenza B viruses (B/Victoria and B/ Yamagata). All the flu vaccines this year are quadrivalent, meaning they cover all four of the recommended strains. However, the timing is even more of a guess this year than ever.

For u season, it’s still best

Both my husband and I just had the flu. We initially suspected that it was COVID, but the tests were negative. My symptoms, especially cough and runny nose, hung on for over two weeks. I visited an urgent care clinic where I was told I most likely had the (seasonal) flu, and I was prescribed an inhaler as well as a cough suppressant. The physician indicated that they have seen a lot of flu cases this summer. I am thinking the rise is because of people wearing masks and staying home these past couple of years, which could thereby weaken our immuneWhensystems.Ifilled my prescriptions at the pharmacy, the pharmacist told me that they started flu vaccines in August. We typically get our seasonal flu vaccines in October to ensure its effectiveness through February and March.

the end of the second peak. For that reason, I don’t recommend getting the flu shot so early this year: September or October is still probably best. However, flu activity could start early, so finding out what’s happening in your local area from your local health department will help your doctor recommend the ideal time for you. I would really recommend getting it by the end of November, but it would still be beneficial later on, especially if the flu season lasts

ANSWER: I’m not sure you had the ﬂu, although there are sporadic cases in the summer.The World Health Organization recently announced the vaccine composition for

Tulane QB Michael Pratt should provide another good test for the Kansas State secondary. He was 17 of 21 for a career-high 318 yards and three touchdowns against Alcorn State last week.Kansas State RB Deuce Vaughn has eight consecutive games of at

least 100 yards rushing after another big performance against the Tigers. He has a Big 12best 271 yards rushing and three touchdowns so far. He needs two more 100-yard efforts to match Darren Sproles, who set the school record with 10 straight during the 2002 and ‘03 seasons.

Kansas State QB Adrian Martinez has thrown for just 154 yards without a touchdown pass this season, though those numbers are a bit misleading. The Wildcats went vanilla when they were up big against South Dakota, then played in heavy rains against Missouri. Still, it would be good to get the passing game going against Tulane before facing the Sooners.

ton. Wainwright recorded a 4-2 win, the ﬁrst of his 212 victories with Molina behind the plate.

WHAT’S AT STAKE?

30 points in 34 games since Willie Fritz took over in 2017. The Green Wave have scored more than 40 in 17 of them. ... Kansas State is allowing six points and 246 yards per game through two games. ... The Wildcats have ﬁve interceptions, their most through two games since 2000. ... Vaughn has a rushing TD in nine straight games, the longest streak for the Wildcats since current offensive coordinator Collin Klein had 12 in a row in 2012. ... Martinez is one of two active quarterbacks nationally with at least 8,000 yards passing and 1,000 yards rushing for his career. He is second among active QBs with 2,392 yards rushing and 37 TDs rushing.

This is Kansas State’s ﬁnal tune-up before Big 12 play begins next week against Oklahoma. The Wildcats are coming off a 40-12 blowout of former conference rival Missouri. The only touchdown they allowed came on an untimed down to end the game. Tulane opened with a 42-10 win over Massachusetts and beat Alcorn State 52-0 last week. The Green Wave are taking a big step up in class.
