A shout-out to retiring teachers

SUNFLOWER SCHOOL’S GERRY BUKATY, pictured with her spirited class of third-graders on Monday, is one of several longtime elementary teachers who will be retiring this year. Bukaty said she enjoyed teaching third grade because it’s a year of confidence building in young students.

Times have changed during their decades in the district, but joy of teaching remains

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

When Darcy Schild was hired as a librarian in the Lawrence school district, there was an actual physical card catalog.

That was 32 years ago. Today, all of those records are kept electronically. Schild is now a library media specialist at Schwegler School and admits to reading many of her own books on a Kindle.

Ginny Turvey, who has spent nearly all of her 36 years in the district teaching fourth grade at Broken Arrow School, started in the days when the latest innovation in education was teaching in open spaces and grouping classrooms in colonies. That trend has since passed.

Sue Siegfreid, who remembers attending grade school in sterile classrooms, has an old, bright orange armchair where her third-grade students at Woodlawn School like to cuddle up with books. Gerry Bukaty, a third-grade teacher at Sunflower School, is one of the few teachers in the building who has been there since the school opened in 1994.

Combined, the four have served in the district’s elementary schools for 119 years. All will be retiring at the end of the year.

Because Schwegler is a neighborhood site for students who are English language learners, Schild has incorporated Spanish, Arabic and other non-English books into her collection.

Students no longer come to the library in scheduled 30-minute classes. The library is better incorporated into a teacher’s curriculum, and students have more freedom in checking out books. While the “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” books might be the new “Harry Potter,” Schild said kids continue Keeping school fun to read.

TOPEKA — Conservative Republicans in the House on Tuesday pushed for a provision to study the possible sale of the Kansas University Hospital.

State Rep. Gene Suellentrop, R-Wichita, sought to add the proposal to a budget bill that was debated late into the night.

But Democrats and mod- LEGISLATURE erate Republicans pushed back furiously.

“I think this is the wrong time, the wrong place and the wrong thing to be doing,” said state Rep. Bob Bethell, R-Alden.

House Minority Leader Paul Davis, D-Lawrence, said the proposal “would be an awful decision” as the KU Cancer Center seeks National Cancer Institute designation.

Even House Speaker Mike O’Neal, R-Hutchinson, criticized the move. “This is not a problem that needs to be fixed,” he said.

After O’Neal spoke, Suellentrop took down his amendment, but said the discussion will continue among

City vows fairness on council

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Lawrence city commissioners are open to creating a new consortium to manage economic development efforts in the community, but on Tuesday they vowed to address concerns by some neighborhood representatives that the group not be too heavily tilted to Lawrence Chamber of Commerce interests.

“There is still a lot to work out, but this absolutely represents a step in the right direction,” City Commissioner Aron Cromwell said.

Leaders with the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce presented a proposal that would create a new “Joint Economic Development Council” that would be led by the Lawrence city manager, the Douglas

But several representatives with neighborhood groups urged commissioners to proceed cautiously with the proposal and questioned whether a business advocacy organization like the chamber is well-suited to be the city’s lead agency on economic development matters.

“The Sierra Club is an advocacy group for environmental causes, but we don’t pay the Sierra Club to do our environmental planning,” said Kirk McClure, a Kansas University profes-

sor of urban planning.

As proposed, the new economic development council would have both a city and a county commissioner on it but also would include three positions appointed by the chamber CEO, in addition to the chamber’s chair of the board of directors.

City commissioners stopped short of saying the group ought to have representatives from area neighborhood associations, which some neighborhood leaders requested, but directed staff members to prepare a report that provided various scenarios related to membership structures.

check books out,” she said.

For the classroom teachers, the biggest shift in the past 30 years has been in a more structured curriculum geared toward standardized testing.

“The amount of things they want students to master now, it is huge,” said Bukaty, who has spent 25 years teaching at Cordley and Sunflower. “I have always found, for the most part, if you keep the bar high, they will want to meet it.”

On the other hand, Bukaty worries about the increasing expectations placed on young students.

“We are always trying to meet the state standards and the national standards. There is a lot of pressure on the kids that wasn’t there before,” Bukaty said.

Siegfreid, who has been in the district for 25 years, said teachers no longer do as much theme or unit teaching as they once did.

For example, she used to have a unit on bats that tied in math and science instruction.

“I always felt children got so much out of that,” Siegfreid said. “But we don’t have time to do that anymore.”

Over the past few decades, teachers have had less flexibility in the curriculum, Turvey said. She has worked hard to hold on to some of her favorite lessons. Among them is having the class dissect owl pellets, the round, hardened mass of bones, feathers and fur that the birds cough up.

“That is what is fun, these special kinds of activities,” she said.

Core beliefs unchanged Despite the changes in education, these teachers have stuck to some basic philosophies on teaching.

For Bukaty it’s making sure that her students know she cares about them. She says something personal to each one of them every day, takes them to Kansas University women’s basketball games as a reward for reading at home and attends their sporting events.

“That sort of stuff builds relationships,” Bukaty said.

Siegfreid said being truthful is important, whether it means telling students you aren’t feeling well that day or keeping to your word.

“Don’t say anything you don’t intend to do,” Siegfreid said. “They need consistency. They need to know they can believe you.”

END OF YEAR SCHEDULE The last day of school is just around the corner.

Here is the schedule for the final days for Lawrence schools in the 2011-2012 school year.

May 17 Seniors last day of finals May 20 Graduation day. Free State High School graduates at 1 p.m. and Lawrence High School graduates at 4 p.m.

For Turvey, the classroom has meant celebrating often, from birthdays to Groundhog Day. “Kids spend a lot of time every day with their teacher,” Turvey said.

“We want to make it fun, enjoyable, comfortable and safe.”

Along with laughter, Turvey’s classroom is filled with Jayhawk memorabilia and is home to a cage of hissing cockroaches and an iguana named Spikette. On Halloween the class makes pumpkin pancakes. After every KU men’s basketball team victory, the fight song is played.

“Kids remember those special kinds of things,” she said.

Without a doubt, the teachers are passionate about their schools.

“I love the families, the kids, my co-workers. It just felt like home, a place I wanted to stay,” Bukaty said of why she spent 18 years at Sunflower. It felt so much like home that Bukaty put up curtains in her classroom windows.

Leaving behind legacies The 25 years or more these teachers have been in Lawrence have brought many highlights.

Siegfreid is one of the first teachers in the district to win a BOBs award, which recognizes dedicated and excellent teachers and includes a $10,000 prize.

“It came at a very good time for us,” Siegfreid said.

“I often thought that much money, what a difference it would make in the lives of other teachers.”

Bukaty is proud of the more than $10,000 her students raised over the years for the Lawrence Humane Society. Each year, students and their parents make clay necklaces that are then sold to benefit the nonprofit.

“That has been huge,” Bukaty said. “The kids love pets and animals, and many haven’t been exposed to a place like the humane society.”

As for Turvey, one of her lasting legacies will be the flower beds she has helped cultivate around the school. Turvey’s green thumb was evident by the potted cups of marigolds in one corner of the room last week. The students had planted the flowers from seed and planned to take them home for Mother’s Day. Even in retirement, Turvey said she intends to help keep the flowers of Broken Arrow blooming.

And Schild plans to continue on as a librarian of sorts. She is part of the online movement LittleFreeLibrary.org and has set up a wooden box in her yard where people can borrow and return books on the honor system.

The real legacies, the group of retiring teachers said, are the students and the best moments are when they hear from former ones.

“It is that feeling of hopefully I made a difference in people’s lives,” Turvey said. “You never know which student it is going to be.”

Siegfreid once had a high school student tell her that she would never forget the time the entire class received a 100 percent on their spelling test and Siegfried pretended to faint on the floor in shock. Another told her how much they appreciated learning English in her class.

“Hearing about the success of any student is one of the highlights. You feel good that you were a small part of their lives,” she said.

KU profs honored for research

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Five Kansas University professors received recognition Tuesday for their research across a variety of disciplines at the university.

This is the second year for the awards, which are presented to midcareer researchers in four fields: arts and humanities; clinical science; science, technology and mathematics; and social science and professional programs.

“For a very long time, KU has given teaching awards,” said Donna Ginther, an economics professor who was recognized with one of the awards.

“The Kemper Awards are always given with much fanfare. I’m glad KU is recognizing research in such a way.”

This year’s winners include:

Jeffrey Moran, associate professor of history, who received the award for his third book, “American Genesis: The Evolution Controversies from Scopes to Creation Science,” which looks at how the evolution debate has gone beyond state legislatures and courthouses. He received the award for arts and humanities.

Russell Swerdlow and Jeffrey Burns, two KU Medical Center professors who together formed a nationally designated Alzheimer’s Disease Center at KUMC. They jointly received the award for forming the center, funded by a fiveyear, $6.5 million grant from the federal National Institute on Aging. The designation puts the cen-

ter among a group of 29 such centers across the nation.

“Our goal is to develop Alzheimer’s disease treatment strategies as well as Alzheimer’s disease therapeutics,” Swerdlow said, adding that he “couldn’t be happier” to receive the recognition from KU.

Ginther, a professor of economics, for her work, including a publication in the August 2011 edition of Science that found that black researchers had more difficulty obtaining funds from the National Institutes of Health. After the findings were published, the NIH underwent a series of reviews and changes to address the issue.

“They took it very seriously,” said Ginther, who received the award for social science and professional programs.

Cory Berkland, an associate professor of chemical and petroleum engineering and of pharmaceutical chemistry, who received the award for his research into nanotechnology and drug delivery.

“I was very surprised to receive this award,” Berkland said in an email. “I appreciate the chancellor’s investment in recognizing KU faculty as an incentive for scholarly output.

In my case, this includes output such as intellectual property and commercial activities.”

Berkland’s research includes industrial collaborators such as Genentech and ConocoPhillips.

The award recipients are chosen by a panel of their peers.

Brownback delivers on bet

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

Thanks to Kentucky University’s men’s basketball team, Gov. Sam Brownback made a visit Tuesday to the Lawrence Community Shelter.

Paying up on a bet with Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear over the outcome of the NCAA National Championship, Brownback delivered 120 Kansas steak burgers to the shelter, in addition to shipping a few hundred to the Bluegrass State, where it also will be served to the needy.

“I’d rather be delivering Kentucky ham,” Brownback said. Had the Jayhawks proved victorious, Beshear would have shipped ham to Kansas instead.

“Folks are going to eat well tonight,” said Brownback, presenting the Kansas City Steak Co. burgers, donated with assistance from the Kansas Beef Council.

Brownback’s visit was widely anticipated at the shelter.

“They think it’s a kick,” said Loring Henderson, shelter director.

“They’ve been cleaning up.”

Henderson gave Brownback a tour of the facility and emphasized the challenges the shelter has faced with constant overcrowding.

“I want him to get a sense” of the shelter, Henderson said. Frequently, 100 or more people seek shelter every night, so overflow space is used when the need exceeds the 75-bed capacity. The shelter will move to a larger site, near Douglas County Jail, in the fall.

Though the 30-minute visit did not incorporate a question-and-answer session with residents, the question shelter resident Stephanie Suggs, 30, would have asked: “Is he

Randy Kinney, 53, also a shelter resident, had a similar question: “What’s he going to do about the homeless problem?”

Throughout the visit, Brownback said he had valuable discussions with Henderson about what is needed to help the growing homeless population, including transitional housing and communitybased health centers.

“The basic needs are being met,” said Brownback, who said he’s visited shelters in Topeka and Wichita since becoming governor.

“But it’s not enough.”

Brownback also toured the Lawrence Interdenominational Nutrition Kitchen across the street, where meals are served to the needy. At the end of his visit, Brownback applauded the efforts of the shelter.

“What they’re doing on the resources they’ve got, they’re doing an incredible job,” he said.

Study criticizes tax cut plan as Senate prepares to take it up

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — One day before a possible showdown on a mammoth tax cut endorsed by Gov. Sam Brownback, a national tax study group said the proposal would increase taxes on many low- and middleincome Kansans.

The plan, which may be debated today by the Senate, “would provide substantial tax cuts for the best off Kansans while actually increasing taxes on many low-income taxpayers because of cuts in low-income credits,” according to the analysis by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy.

The Washington, D.C.based ITEP is a nonprofit, nonpartisan group that works on state and federal tax policy, focusing on tax fairness.

Brownback, a Republican, has been pushing hard for the tax cuts, saying they will stimulate the economy

BRIEFLY

House revives Kobach voter-citizenship plan

and help Kansans across all income levels.

The proposal before the Senate would reduce individual income tax rates and exempt 191,000 businesses from taxes on nonwage income. It would also follow current law by allowing the state sales tax to decrease from 6.3 percent to 5.7 percent next year.

ITEP said the income tax reduction and elimination of the tax on pass-through business income would reduce state revenue by $600 million annually.

In addition, the proposed cut, put together by Republicans on a House-Senate tax conference committee, would eliminate many credits and deductions aimed at helping low- and middle-income Kansans. For example, the plan would repeal a tax credit for low-income renters and require low-income filers to claim either the food sales tax rebate or the Earned Income Tax Credit.

The poorest 40 percent

would see a tax increase because of the loss of credits, ITEP estimated. The bottom 20 percent earning less than $20,000 per year, would see a tax increase of $86 on average, according to ITEP. Meanwhile the top 1 percent will receive an average tax cut of $19,771, the group said.

The report’s findings echoed comments by state Rep. Nile Dillmore of Wichita, the ranking Democrat on the House tax committee.

In a speech to the House on Monday during a procedural vote, Dillmore said the proposed tax cut was unfair and intellectually dishonest because it would “create a class of economic elites” of businesses that would not pay taxes to support government services.

“We all have a responsibility to support government services,” he said.

State Rep. Richard Carlson, R-St. Marys, disagreed, saying the business tax cuts would result in more investment and jobs.

Hospital

turnover rates and having to re-train new employees.

Under the House pay-go rule, the money for the pay raise — $10 million — had to come from another area of the budget, which in this instance was from a fund in the attorney general’s office to pay for water litigation.

Several legislators said those litigation funds were too important to tap for a pay raise.

The House school funding plan would spend $25 million to increase base state aid by $37 per student, and the remaining $25 million would help school districts on property taxes.

The dollars would come from revenues within the Kansas Department of Transportation.

The Senate budget would add $50 million for base aid, which equals $74 per pupil. It would also add $27 million to help on property taxes. The Senate proposes to get the funding from the state’s growing surplus.

The 2012 session is scheduled to end Friday, although it can be extended.

A proposal by state Rep. Jim Ward, D-Wichita, to maintain the current system of providing longterm care services for those with developmental disabilities failed 54-65.

Brownback wants to bring those services within his proposed privatization of Medicaid, although he has agreed to a oneyear delay.

State Rep. Anthony Brown, R-Eudora, succeeded in adding an amendment that would require the use of the federal database EVerify to check the citizenship status of employees working for businesses on state contracts worth $50,000 or more.

Suellentrop’s amendment would have directed Gov. Sam Brownback’s budget director Steve Anderson to appoint a group to study whether it would be viable to sell KU Hospital and report to state officials in January 2013.

“What this study may prove is that we should in fact sell the facility,” Suellentrop said.

TOPEKA — Secretary of State Kris Kobach’s allies Tuesday revived the conservative Republican’s proposal to require first-time voters to prove their U.S. citizenship starting next month, but a vote in the state House advancing his bill sent mixed signals about its chances for passage.

The House gave the measure first-round approval on a 67-53 vote, suggesting supporters have enough votes to pass the legislation on final action, scheduled for today.

The bill would go next to the Senate, where an earlier version of Kobach’s proposal is stuck in committee.

More cooperation It’s too bad that local law enforcement agencies appear to be moving further apart instead of closer together.

T

here’s little doubt that the biggest issue that will face a proposal to construct a new police headquarters building in Lawrence will be its estimated $30 million price tag.

However, another factor to consider is what moving the police department to its own separate facility could cost the community in terms of cooperation among its various law enforcement entities. At a time when it might make sense to consider consolidating the functions of the Lawrence Police Department and the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, removing the last police officers from the downtown Judicial and Law Enforcement Center would be a step in the opposite direction.

When the law enforcement center opened in late 1976 it was a one-stop law enforcement shop that included offices for the police and sheriff’s departments, Douglas County District Court, the district attorney and other related offices, as well as the Douglas County Jail. The idea at the time was to facilitate convenience and cooperation among the various functions of county law enforcement, from arrests to prosecutions.

As the county has grown, its space needs have grown. Although the courts, the sheriff and the DA’s office still are housed in the law enforcement center, the jail has been moved to the east edge of town, and a large portion of the police department has been shipped out to leased space near Bob Billings Parkway and Wakarusa Drive.

Having the police department split between two locations is inconvenient, so the new chief is asking city commissioners to consider building a new police facility, possibly near the fire station at 19th and Iowa streets, to reunite the department. Before commissioners authorized a needs assessment for a new police facility last year, city officials asked the sheriff’s office and the Kansas University Public Safety Office if they would like to participate in the planning process. When both declined, city police officials proceeded on their own.

The city can’t force more collaboration if these agencies are satisfied with the status quo, but it seems shortsighted not to at least consider ways these departments can work together better and perhaps even share multiple facilities in the community. The city’s fire department and county’s ambulance service merged a number of years ago and occupy stations throughout the community. The city and county also might consider the example of Riley County, home to Kansas State University, which has successfully merged its county sheriff’s department and city police department into a single agency.

If part of the goal of a new police facility is to promote communication and efficiency within the department, why not take the rationale a step further and consider a combined law enforcement agency for the county?

Out of touch about Afghanistan President Obama had every right to celebrate the first anniversary of Osama bin Laden’s death with U.S. troops in Kabul. No one can doubt the magnitude of that achievement — under his command.

But everything else about Obama’s Afghan trip had a surreal feel, including his speech to the American public. After 11 years of war, the president had to slip in and out of the country under cover of darkness. Even more disturbing was how little resemblance the speech had to the facts on the ground.

Don’t get me wrong. I understand why any American leader might want to declare victory “within reach” and set a date to bring the troops home — in this case by 2014.

Bin Laden is dead and the core al-Qaida leadership has been hard hit by U.S. drone strikes. Recent polls show that only 23 percent of the American public think the United States is doing the right thing by fighting there.

You can criticize Obama for announcing the 2014 date too soon or for front-loading the withdrawal (I’ve done both).

However, given the strong opposition to the war and the economic pressures at home, I’d bet a Republican in the White House would also be looking for an Afghan exit.

Yet Obama’s strategy, as laid out in his speech, appears based on a series of unrealistic assumptions that are bound to undermine it. One has to wonder whether he has a Plan B in case the current plan fails.

The essence of Plan A, as

Trudy Rubin

“

trubin@phillynews.com

Obama’s strategy ... appears based on a series of unrealistic assumptions.”

the president expressed it: “The tide has turned. We broke the Taliban’s momentum. We’ve built strong Afghan security forces.

“We have begun a transition to Afghan responsibility for security.” By the end of 2014, “we will shift into a support role as Afghans step forward.”

In other words, Key Assumption One is that Afghan forces will be able to keep the country stable and prevent Afghanistan from reverting to a haven for al-Qaida or its allies.

Key Assumption Two: “We are building an enduring partnership” with the Afghans, said Obama, the centerpiece of which is a “Strategic Partnership Agreement” that the president signed in Kabul. This agreement is meant to signify we won’t abandon Afghanistan as we did after the Soviet Union was driven out in 1989, and after the Taliban was defeated in 1991.

The accord sets no figures for future economic aid or funds to support the Afghan

security forces, which the Kabul government cannot afford to pay for. Nor does it spell out how many U.S. troops will stay on in the background as trainers and for counterterrorism support. That number will have to be agreed on in a future bilateral security arrangement; if the Iraq experience is any precedent, such an accord may be difficult to reach.

Moreover, once you examine the situation on the ground, the weakness of the president’s key assumptions becomes apparent.

Yes, the Taliban has been driven back in certain provinces, but it’s unclear that Afghan forces can hold the line.

In a sign of the challenges they will face, insurgents were able to penetrate a Kabul compound housing Westerners, just after Obama left.

In some key Afghan provinces the Taliban exerts control, especially along the Pakistani border. And Pakistan still refuses to shut down havens for the Taliban inside the country that permit them to regroup.

As for the abilities of Afghan security forces, their unity and coherence remain in serious question. They are dogged by illiteracy, attrition and corruption. Their officer corps is dangerously divided by ethnicity; very few come from the community of southern Pashtuns, where the Taliban problem is greatest.

Moreover, as pointed out

by Steve Coll, an expert on Afghanistan and president of the New America Foundation, “The Afghan army

and police services require a state to be loyal to — national leadership that they believe in.” They haven’t found it in President Hamid Karzai, or in the corrupt government he leads. Nor is there a clear candidate for 2014 presidential elections who looks likely to unify the country’s ethnic and tribal factions.

Thus, it is very unclear who will be America’s enduring strategic partner in Kabul.

What Afghans fear most is that the U.S. troop drawdown will usher in another civil war.

The administration had hoped to head off that prospect by bringing the Taliban into peace talks. Regional diplomacy was supposed to be another key component of the transition, with the goal of dissuading Afghanistan’s neighbors from arming proxies in that country once the Americans leave.

But talks with the Taliban are frozen, in part because of U.S. election-year politics, and regional diplomacy appears stymied. This raises huge questions about whether Obama’s exit strategy can proceed as intended.

“What is Plan B?” Coll asks in a brilliant paper, titled “Can NATO rethink its exit strategy from Afghanistan?” If a majority of the assumptions on which our exit strategy is based are flawed, are we thinking now of alternatives? Or, constrained by politics, will Obama stick to Plan A, even if failure is looming? These are the questions that were left hanging by Obama’s speech.

PUBLIC FORUM

After paying ‘debt,’ then what?

I promised Russell I would ask you something.

We met last week in a medium-security correctional facility. There, I spent a couple hours talking with a group of men who are studying for their GEDs. I stressed to them the need for longterm goals, the criticality of education in an era where good-paying, low-skill jobs are going away, and the importance of refusing to allow oneself to be defined by whatever box of race or class society has placed you in. It was toward the end that Russell asked a question whose exact wording I can’t recall, but whose gist was a simple challenge: What are you going to do to help me when I get out?

He meant me, personally.

And he meant you, personally.

Perhaps the question makes you indignant. This would not surprise me. A generation of conservative “reform” on issues of criminal justice has encouraged many of us to believe the only thing we “owe” those who break the law is punishment, followed by punishment, along with punishment and then punishment. It is a seductive line of reasoning. Who among us is not made furious by those men and women who break and enter and steal and damage and violate and maim and kill and thereby rob us of the right to feel secure in our own persons?

Small wonder, then, that harsh, endless punishment has come to seem such an absolute good that politicians

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

of both the right and the left stumble all over themselves to prove they are “tough on crime.” And none of them dare speak a word about rehabilitation, for mortal fear of being declared that hated other thing: “soft” on crime.

Thus, you get mandatory sentencing guidelines that give a man 25 years for stealing a slice of pizza or kicking down a door. Thus, you get Joe Arpaio, the cartoonish Arizona sheriff, feeding his prisoners moldy bologna and rotten fruit and housing them in tents where the temperature reaches 140 degrees.

Thus, you get Troy Davis executed despite substantive doubts about his guilt.

Maybe such things leave you feeling righteous and tough. They should actually leave you feeling concerned, if not from moral questions, then from pragmatic ones. America is now the greatest jailer on earth. Prison overcrowding is a growing problem; we literally cannot build facilities fast enough. As CBS News recently reported, the United States has less than 5 percent of the world’s population, but about 25 percent of its prisoners. As CNN recently reported, at 760

prisoners per 100,000 citizens, the U.S. jails its people at a rate seven to 10 times higher than most any other developed nation.

Either Americans are much more crime-prone than, say, the Japanese or the British or this “reform” is insane.

Worse, in a system of punishment followed by punishment, the insanity does not end with locking up our citizens in obscene numbers.

No, after we set them “free,” we deny them re-entry into the mainstream of society with laws barring them from jobs, housing, loans, voting, schooling. How can you fix your life — why even try? — if you are denied the reward that should follow, i.e., the dignity of full citizenship?

We close doors of advancement and opportunity to exfelons, then wonder why so many end up walking back through the door to prison.

Once upon a time, there was an ideal which held that once a person had paid his “debt to society,” he was owed a second chance. That seems to have gone the way of vinyl albums and 69-cent gas. But our new ideal — punishment and then punishment — is shortsighted and unsustainable.

Maybe you find Russell’s question impertinent. Actually, it could not be more pertinent. What are we going to do to help him when he gets out?

It would be good if we had an answer for him. We might not like the answer he finds for himself.

To the editor: Talk about a crazy law!

Orscheln Farm and Home no longer able to sell chicks because it doesn’t provide 10 square feet of space per chick? Nuts!

Every year I buy healthy baby chicks at Orscheln’s, bring them home and put them in a small cage with a heat lamp. Yes, they’re in close quarters, but they have to be when they’re young in order to stay warm and survive. At six weeks I move them out to an enclosed barn stall to grow a little more before they get to enjoy the good life: free ranging, eating bugs and hanging out with the grandkids.

The 10 square feet per chicken law might work for full-grown chickens living in the city limits, but it makes no sense for a farm supply store selling baby chicks. It needs to be changed before next chick season. I want Chick Days back!

Valentine: Doff cap to Negro Leagues

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Step into the office of Boston Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine, open your mind and your ears, and you’re going to walk out of there thinking about something really compelling for the first time.

And you won’t be able to stop thinking about it.

Butler’s homer socks Red Sox KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Billy Butler hit a mammoth three-run homer in the eighth inning Tuesday night, giving the Kansas City Royals a 6-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox. Chris Getz and Humberto Quintero also drove in runs for the Royals, who overcame another lousy performance by their starting pitcher to pick up a confidence-boosting win.

Daniel Bard (2-4) walked Jarrod Dyson and Alex Gordon to start the eighth before giving way to reliever Matt Albers. His third pitch to Butler was right in his wheelhouse, and the portly designated hitter sent it soaring into the fountains beyond the left-field wall.

It was Butler’s sixth homer of the year.

Kelvin Herrera and Jose Mijares (2-1) had kept Kansas City in the game after Danny Duffy lasted just 4 1-3 innings. Jonathan Broxton worked the ninth for his sixth save.

Dustin Pedroia had two RBIs and Kelly Shoppach also drove in a run as Boston lost for the sixth time in seven games, two of those defeats coming in extra innings.

Bard ended up with a memorable line: He gave up five runs on six hits and four walks, while also throwing a wild pitch and getting called for two balks during the same at-bat.

Boston rookie Will Middlebrooks followed up his two-homer, five-RBI game in the series opener with a double in the second inning, joining Hall of Famer Enos Slaughter as the only players since at least 1920 to record an extra-base hit in each of their first five major league games.

Marlon Byrd and Shoppach added back-to-back two-out singles to drive in Middlebrooks, who felt tightness in his left hamstring and left the game between half innings. Duffy proceeded to walk Mike Aviles and Pedroia to give the Red Sox a 2-0 lead.

Kansas City answered with three runs in the bottom half of the second inning.

“It’s definitely difficult,” Falkenstien said. “Keeping the girls working hard and working with each other isn’t always easy.”

Amid their struggles, Kepler said now isn’t a time for new tactics.

“In times like these, when you go back to practice you have to work on fundamentals,” the coach said, “the things that the girls can control, the things that they can do well when they’re thinking.”

One of just three seniors on the team — Lauren Fleming and Meredith Warinner being the others — Falkenstien said Lawrence’s younger players are at least picking up lessons in the difficult Sunflower League that will make them better down the line.

“They learn from mistakes every game,” the senior said.

Study: Ex-NFL players live longer NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL is telling retirees about a medical study that says former players live longer than men in the general population.

While player safety issues related to brain trauma and other football-related injuries dominate the headlines, the study by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) found 334 deceased men in a sampling of 3,439 former NFL players. Estimates for the general population anticipated 625 deaths.

Players in the study participated in the NFL for at least five

seasons from 1959 through 1988, and were observed by NIOSH through 2007.

The study is a follow-up to a 1994 report the institute did at the request of the players’ union to, “investigate concerns that players were dying prematurely.� The latest findings, which contradict that idea, were published earlier this year in the American Journal of Cardiology and on NIOSH’s blog. The NFL sent a newsletter from NIOSH about the study’s finding to about 3,200 pre-1993 retired players on Tuesday.

The results come as NFL vet-

erans by the hundreds — from both recent years and decades ago — are suing the league because of long-term health effects, many head injuries they sustained playing football. The league maintains player safety was and is a major priority.

The latest study found that players had a much lower rate of cancer-related deaths, with 85 dying from the disease as opposed to a projected 146 based on estimates from the general population. One reason for that could be low levels of smoking among athletes, but NIOSH did not attempt to contact former

players about their smoking habits.

Larger players, particularly defensive linemen, had a higher level of deaths from heart disease, 41 as opposed to an expected 29. There were 498 defensive linemen studied.

Offensive and defensive linemen, of course, are likely to have a higher body mass index, a measuring factor for obesity.

Overall, though, the study showed that the risk of players dying of heart disease was lower than the general population, with 126 deaths while the anticipated number was 186.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Professional boxing in America used to be a big deal.

It used to be important. It used to have a grip on the American sports consciousness the way football, baseball and basketball now do. The great heavyweights are now NFL tight ends or NBA power forwards, and the audience that once craved the sweet science has shifted its obsession to the mixed martial arts octagon.

Now in the only places that matter in its sport — Las Vegas and your television set — the sweet science has been reduced to something of a sideshow attraction. It seems that the only one left in the boxing game capable of elevating the sport to its old high perch is the extremely loud, slightly irritating, brilliantly calculating and very talented Floyd Mayweather Jr. People flock to his fights.

Last Saturday, as he defended his WBA super-welterweight championship and increased his record to a stunning 43-0 with his unanimous decision over Miguel Cotto, Mayweather walked away with a record $32 million for his efforts. People are willing to buy his expensive pay-per-view battles regardless of the $70 price tag because they know they’ll get their money’s worth.

But Mayweather is also the very reason that boxing is no longer America’s favorite warrior sport, no longer among our top three sports obsessions.

And it’s not because he’s about to begin serving an 87-day sentence for misdemeanor domestic violence, either. Convicts, ex-cons and boxing are longtime dance partners.

No, here’s the problem with Mayweather. He won’t give us the fight we all want. Mayweather versus Manny Pacquiao.

The two best pound-forpound fighters in the sport simply won’t fight each other, squabbling over money, prestige and all sorts of other silliness. Imagine if the Miami Heat and Los Angeles Lakers refused to play each other in the playoffs. Imagine the absurdity of the AFC and NFC champs balking at a championship showdown.

It would never happen in any other major sport. But it happens in boxing all the time, which is why people are just flat sick and tired of the once-grand sport.

That’s not how it used to be.

Remember how popular boxing was when great heavyweights of the 1970s like Ali, Frazier, Foreman and Norton all went after each other multiple times?

Remember the 1980s and early 1990s when the welterweight division dominated our sports attention and Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns and Marvin Hagler gave us those masterful, elegant and brutal wars?

But that’s not boxing any more. Those days are over and they’re not coming back. The best of boxing has now been reduced to a shame and a sham, and the folks who run it are too self-serving to tell the difference.

ANDY PETTITTE PITCHES FOR THE EMPIRE STATE YANKEES during a Triple A game Sunday in Rochester, N.Y. Pettitte is scheduled return to the majors Sunday.

Pettitte’s return to Yanks planned for Sunday NEW YORK — Andy Pettitte is set to rejoin the New York Yankees and start this Sunday at home against the Seattle Mariners. “Everybody’s in agreement he’s not going to benefit from any more time below,� Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Tuesday.

Pettitte retired after the 2010 season and sat out last year. The lefty, who turns 40 next month, returned to the team in spring training and has been pitching in the minors.

Pettitte threw five shaky innings Sunday in his first Triple-A start in his comeback, allowing five runs and eight hits. He has pitched four times in the minors this year with a 3.71 earned-run average in 17 innings. “I think the fans are excited. I know Andy’s really excited,� Cashman said.

The plan for Pettitte to start this weekend could shift if rain hangs around, he said.

Pettitte is 240-138 lifetime, spending 13 years with the Yankees and three seasons with Houston.

The Yankees have been eager for Pettitte to rejoin their rotation. They recently demoted starter Freddy Garcia to the bullpen and Phil Hughes had been struggling until a good start last weekend at Kansas City.

KANSAS CITY, MO. — The Kansas City Royals have recalled right-hander Vin Mazzaro from Triple-A Omaha to provide support for their exhausted bullpen.

Poor starting pitching forced the Royals to make the move before Tuesday night’s game against Boston. Luke Hochevar went 2 1/3 innings against the Yankees before Jonathan Sanchez was pulled with none out in the fourth against Boston.

Nationals’ GM disciplined NEW YORK — Washington Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo has been penalized by Major League Baseball following his remarks about Philadelphia pitcher Cole Hamels.

MLB said Tuesday that Rizzo was disciplined, without providing specifics. In general, penalties for non-uniformed personnel involve fine.

Rizzo was upset that Hamels hit Nationals rookie Bryce Harper with a pitch on Sunday night and then said he deliberately tried to plunk him. Hamels was suspended for five games by MLB on Monday and fined.

T-Rob living big before draft dollars on, projected top five pick Robinson said: “an iced-up Rolex (watch).”

After Jardine said he’d buy his mom a house, Robinson quickly added he had plans to purchase his little sister gifts as well.

DraftExpress.com has the 6-foot-9, 240-pound Robinson headed to New Orleans with the No. 4 pick overall in the June 28 draft; nbadraft.net has Robinson going to his hometown Washington Wizards with the No. 2 pick.

The Robinson/Jardine video, in which Robinson is wearing a Washington Nationals baseball cap, is available at tmz.com.

O Semi has full list: Ottawa High senior-tobe Semi Ojeleye, a 6-6, 215-pound small forward who averaged 32.1 points and 8.7 rebounds a game last season, has KU on his revised list of schools.

Rivals.com reports that

its No. 37-rated player nationally is considering KU, Kansas State, Missouri, Duke, Arizona, Stanford, UCLA, Indiana, Wisconsin, Oregon, and Illinois.

Ojeleye led MoKan Elite to a runner-up finish in the recent EYBL AAU Tournament in Hampton, Va. “MoKan Elite went down at the hands of the CIA Bounce, but Semi Ojeleye did everything in his power to prevent it,” writes Eric Bossi of Rivals.com. “The powerfully built, 6-foot-6 wing from Ottawa High went unconscious from threepoint land during the second half as he buried one long jumper after another.

When he’s set, he doesn’t miss very often.

“On top of being an excellent set shooter, the No. 37 player in the class of 2013 shows a great understanding of how to use his ruggedly built frame in the lane where he continually finishes through contact,” Bossi added.

O Harris to decide soon: South Carolina transfer Damontre Harris will choose to attend either KU or Florida this week, his mom tells Rivals.com.

The 6-9, 225-pound junior-to-be power forward from Fayetteville, N.C., “will sit down with his coach by the end of this week and try to make a decision by then,” Sheronda Harris told jayhawkslant. com.

Damontre averaged 6.8 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game his soph season for the Gamecocks. He will have to sit out a season in accordance with NCAA transfer rules.

“He is done taking visits and will decide between Kansas and Florida. I know Damontre enjoyed himself at Kansas (last weekend) and he really liked the visit, as he did Florida as well. Damontre really likes both schools, so it’s going to be a big decision, but it’s a decision he will make,” she added.

(There are some baseball historians who whisper that the Babe did something during that trip that made Gehrig dislike him deeply and forever.)

The slow, steady stream of black players signing with Major League teams led to the slow death of the Negro Leagues, over a period of about 15 years. Valentine’s right. A merger — obviously, as he said, with the teams from the Negro Leagues allowed to trade for and sign white players, and Major Leagues also having no restrictions — would have been a smoother way of ending the color barrier.

Valentine spent two stretches managing in Japan and said he thinks the mass exodus of second-tier Japanese players to the Major Leagues will have negative repercussions.

“Without a doubt, the Japanese League, which is a national treasure for that country, is going to go away,” Valentine predicted.

Too bad supersonic jets can’t be manufactured and run more economically. Absorbing a couple of Japanese League teams into the majors might become a logical next step, but for the transportation hurdles.

Long, defensive end McDouglas Archibong, tight end Scott Baron and linebacker Ricky Speer — and the final tally, at least for now, comes out to 35 gone and 32 in to replace them.

Many of those players, fifth-year seniors and true freshmen alike, will be counted on to contribute right away, which means when Aug. 2 rolls around, Weis and his coaching staff will have a lot of work to do to get the newcomers ready and just four weeks to do it.

Of that, Weis is very aware. And, as with everything else so far, he doesn’t appear to be worried.

“I think it forces you to have a fast track program for these guys coming in here so that you don’t try to do too much with them

the day they walk in the door and get them confused,” he said. “You have to get them lined up and ready to go, but we have a gameplan in place. If you know anything about me, you know there is a plan in place. We’re not going to say, ‘Okay they’re coming in, let’s wing it now and see how it goes.’

I think we have a pretty good idea of how we are going to handle this.”

AMERICAN LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Texas’ Hamilton tags four Yankees 5, Rays 3 NEW YORK — David Robertson struck out Carlos Pena with the bases loaded to end a rocky ninth inning in his first save chance since Mariano Rivera’s season-ending knee injury, helping New York end a seven-game skid against Tampa Bay.

The Associated Press

Rangers 10, Orioles 3 BALTIMORE — Josh Hamilton became the 16th player to hit four home runs in a game, launching a quartet of two-run drives against three different pitchers in a historymaking performance that carried Texas past Baltimore on Tuesday night.

Hamilton homered off Jake Arrieta in the first and third innings, added another off Zach Phillips in the seventh and topped it off with a one-for-thebooks shot against Darren O’Day in the eighth. During the last at-bat, Hamilton took a mighty hack and missed, lined a foul into right-field seats and then sent an 0-2 pitch over the center-field wall.

He also doubled in the fifth inning. His 18 total bases is a new single-game American League record, and his eight RBIs are a career high.

The last player to hit four home runs in a game was Carlos Delgado on Sept. 25, 2003, for Toronto against Tampa Bay. Two of the 16 players to hit four homers in a game did it before 1900.

Hamilton is the sixth AL slugger to perform the feat. The last player to hit four homers in a game against the Orioles was Rocky Colavito in 1959, at old Memorial Stadium.

Hamilton, who is in the final year of his contract and could become a free agent after this season, leads the AL with 14 homers and 36 RBIs, and his 5-for-5 effort raised his batting average to .406.

He also set the Texas single-game club record with five extra-base hits, breaking the mark of four held by eight players.

Barajas’ blast boosts Bucs in ninth The Associated Press

Pirates 5, Nationals 4 PITTSBURGH — Rod Barajas hit a two-run homer off Washington closer Henry Rodriguez with two outs in the ninth to lift Pittsburgh.

The veteran catcher, mired in a season-long slump, drilled a shot down the left field line that sailed a few rows into the seats for his first home run and RBIs of the year.

The Nationals went ahead 4-3 after Adam LaRoche’s two-run blast in the top of the ninth off Pittsburgh closer Joel Hanrahan.

The radical 19th century abolitionist defended Lawrence from raiders, fought to make Kansas a free state and spilled blood to raid a U.S. military arsenal in hopes of sparking a rebellion to end slavery. In this 150th anniversary year of the Civil War, John $3 Brown is now a Lawrence icon whose image appears on many front license plates and at the occasional University of Kansas sporting event. But is that a good thing? In short, is John Brown a hero for our times?

he pulled a Rip Van Winkle and strolled across Massachusetts Street. But they are equally a serious examination of one of Lawrence’s most controversially important figures and our assessment of his legacy.

“This kind of reflection,” explains historian and panel member Napoleon Crews, “is important to helping us understand how we got to be where we are, as a society and as a country, on important issues such as human and civil rights.”

“I personally think he is one of the most important figures in American history,” adds fellow historian and panel member Kerry Altenbernd. “That’s the thing about John Brown—he does not go away.”

Altenbernd: Even if he didn’t drink himself, he would not have been so dogmatic as to shun those that did imbibe, so he would likely go with you to Free State.

Armitage: If he downed a John Brown in front of the plaque at the Free State Brewery, he could draw a crowd and ask all to mend their ways in the moral cause of the day.

Gridley: John Brown, being a Calvinist and Puritan, I imagine would abstain from downing the Kansas ale named in his honor. He wasn’t a killjoy, though.

Dark meat chicken climbs pecking order

By Steve Karnowski Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS — Pat LaFrieda Jr. can’t get enough chicken thighs. If his family business featured on the new Food Network series “Meat Men” orders 100 cases of boneless, skinless thighs, his supplier might deliver only 60.

That’s because consumers have discovered something chefs have long known about dark meat: “It was always the least expensive protein that you could buy, but it had the most amount of flavor,” LaFrieda said.

Thighs and drumsticks are climbing the pecking order as Americans join consumers abroad in seeking flavor that isn’t found in ubiquitous, boneless, skinless chicken breasts. The poultry industry used to have trouble finding a market for dark meat, but changing domestic tastes and growing exports to countries that prefer leg quarters are pushing up prices and helping pull the poultry industry out of a deep slump.

Poultry industry experts agree TV food shows are helping to spur demand as chefs talk up dark meat and give home cooks new ideas. Dark meat is more forgiving than white and doesn’t dry out as easily, La Frieda said, so thighs are great on the grill, while ground dark meat works well shaped into burgers, stuffed into ravioli or stirred into a Bolognese sauce and served over pasta, he said.

“If you’re looking for what the next trend is ... always ask the butcher what he takes home,” said LaFrieda, whose company, Pat LaFrieda Meat Purveyors of North Bergen, N.J., supplies restaurants in the New York City area and along the East Coast.

The convenience and greater availability of boneless, skinless thighs is another major factor in the dark meat craze. New, automated equipment makes it more economi-

PAT LAFRIEDA JR., WHOSE BUSINESS is featured on the new Food Network show “Meat Men,” holds small portions of dark meat trimmed from a chicken and wrapped around the bone, to be cooked like wings, at his company, Pat LaFrieda Meat Purveyors, in North Bergen, N.J. Thighs and drumsticks are gaining popularity as Americans seek out flavor that’s lacking in the boneless, skinless chicken breasts that have long dominated the domestic market. cal to debone leg quarters, where the work once had to be done by hand.

Dark meat historically has been cheaper than white, but according to U.S. Department of Agriculture statistics, wholesale boneless, skinless thighs now cost as much as breasts, and sometimes more. Both averaged $1.33 a pound in March, but thigh prices were up 15 percent from a year earlier, while breasts were up only 1 percent. Bonein leg quarters averaged 53 cents per pound in March, up 26 percent from a year ago.

For decades, producers made their money on the front half of the bird but lost money on the back half, said Bill Roenigk, senior vice president and economist with the National Chicken Council.

That began changing in the 1990s as the industry found new markets in Russia, Asia and Latin America. While producers still lose money on

dark meat, he said, the difference isn’t as great as it once was.

Domestically, chicken companies are becoming more innovative with new products such as chicken sausages, which are mostly dark meat, Roenigk said. At the same time, they’re seeing more sales to Hispanic and Asian immigrants, who have brought their food preferences with them.

At Whole Foods Market Inc., the dark meat trend has mainly shown up in sales of store-made chicken sausage, said Theo Weening, global meat buyer for the Austin, Texas-based chain.

The varieties vary, but Italian and breakfast sausages are top sellers. Whole Foods had to scramble last year when sausage makers boosted production for the holidays and dark meat became hard to get, but things are back on track now, he said.

Sertoma announces barbecue winners Staff Reports

Four Men and a Pig won a ticket to October’s American Royal Barbecue Invitational by being named overall grand champions of this year’s Sertoma 48 BBQ competition.

The Lawrence Sertoma Club’s 14th annual barbecue cook-off took place Saturday at Broken Arrow Park.

The Kansas City Barbeque Society-sanctioned competition — named for its 48-team field and $4,800 in prize money — has raised more than $180,000 for Lawrence

charities over the years.

Reserve grand champion at this year’s event was Ribs 4 U. Judges also named champions in the following four meat categories: Chicken: Passions of the Pit, first place; Ribs 4 U, second; and Four Men and a Pig, third.

Pork Ribs: True Bud BBQ, first; PDT, second; and Four Men and a Pig, third.

Pork Shoulder: Pork’N Mindy, first; Bayou Style BBQ, second; and Crimson and Blue BBQ, third.

Beef Brisket: Hot Meat Smokers, first; Four Men and a Pig, second; and My

Three Sons, third.

The Sertoma 48 BBQ also included a Peoples’ Choice competition, where, for a $6 donation, hungry event-goers could taste a variety of barbecue dishes and vote for their favorite.

Peoples’ Choice awards for Session A went to Piggy’s Going Postal, first; and Rub’N Wood, second. Rub Me Tender, Rub Me Sweet and Dead Last BBQ tied for third. Session B Peoples’ Choice winners were Mad Hogs and an Englishman, first; BMB BBQ, second; and Broken Toe BBQ, third.

Breweries collaborate to introduce new strong ale Beer lovers, prepare for Full Kimono.

The brewmasters at Free State Brewery, 23rd Street Brewery and Topeka’s Blind Tiger Brewery have collaborated to create a new beer in celebration of American Craft Beer Week, which is May 14 to May 20.

Full Kimono, an Imperial Red Ale, will be released this Friday at the three breweries. A firkin keg will be tapped at 23rd Street Brewery at 5:30 p.m., while Free State will introduce the beer, served in 10-oz. glasses, at 11:30 a.m. Each brewery will have about 10 barrels of Full Kimono, a strong beer with more than 10 percent alcohol by volume.

“It’s got a lot of hop character. It’s kind of akin to a double IPA, but it has a little more backbone as well,” said Free State head brewer Geoff Deman. “It’ll be pretty bold, yet balanced at the same time.”

Deman said working with the other brewers, Bryan

“Bucky” Buckingham (23rd Street) and John Dean (Blind Tiger), whom he also counts as friends, was natural.

“All the brewers came away feeling like it was one of the best days they had brewing,” he said. “It’s fun to brew with friends.”

producer, Tyson Foods Inc. of Springdale, Ark., declined to provide sales figures before its earnings report next month, but a spokesman said it has seen strong growth with dark meat and is actively promoting it to “valueconscious customers.”

Nobody is ready to write off the boneless, skinless chicken breast, however.

“I think we’re still a white-meat nation when it comes to chicken,” said Tom Stone, marketing director for Bell & Evans Chicken, of Fredericksburg, Pa., which supplies dealers including LaFrieda and Whole Foods, and restaurants such as Chipotle Mexican Grill. While thighs are definitely in, Stone said he hasn’t seen demand grow as much for bone-in drumsticks.

“That’s great kid food,” he said. “Maybe it just hasn’t hit yet.”

Snacks translate oddly overseas ————

American favorites barely recognizable in foreign flavors

By Candice Choi Associated Press

NEW YORK — Russians prefer their Lay’s potato chips dusted in caviar and crab flavors. The Chinese like their Oreos stuffed with mango and orange cream. And in Spain, Kellogg’s All-Bran cereal is served floating in hot coffee instead of cold milk.

Food makers long have tinkered with their products to appeal to regional tastes, but getting the recipe just right is becoming more important than ever.

That’s partly because people in developing nations such as China and India are gaining more of an appetite for American-style “on-the-go” foods as they work longer hours and have less time to cook.

But it’s mostly because snack makers increasingly are looking for growth in other parts of the world as sales slow at home.

Growth in the snack food industry has been virtually flat in the U.S. for the past two years, according to market research firm Euromonitor.

Meanwhile, combined sales in China, Brazil and Russia — three major developing markets — rose 15 percent in 2010 and 11 percent last year to $17 billion. That’s half the size of the U.S. market but it’s growing.

In a different land The challenge for snack makers is that people in other countries have different tastes. Consider the Oreo, which Kraft Food Inc. introduced in China in 1996. Sales of the vanilla cream-filled chocolate cookie sandwich were respectable there, but the Chinese didn’t completely take to it.

So Kraft decided to tweak the Oreo. In 2006, Kraft began offering the Oreo as a wafer, a popular cookie throughout Asia. It is made up of cream sandwiched between crispy wafers. The plan was to help familiarize more Chinese customers with the brand. Three years later, the company decided to go a step further.

Kraft worked with a panel of consumer taste experts from around the world to identify the characteristics of the Oreo — including color, crunchiness, bitterness, color — that were likely to appeal to Chinese tastes. Executives learned through research that the Chinese don’t like their treats as

NABISCO OREOS AND WAFERS FOR THE CHINESE MARKET are shown in New York.

While Americans might get squeamish at the thought of their favorite snacks being tweaked, what works in the U.S. doesn’t work everywhere. Tastes can vary greatly in unexpected ways in different corners of the world. big or as sweet as Americans do. So the company rejiggered the recipe to create a cookie that was a tad smaller and a touch less sweet.

But the company wasn’t finished. After noticing sales of Oreos were lagging in China during the summer, Kraft added a green tea ice cream flavor.

The cookie combined a popular local flavor with the cooling imagery of ice cream. The green tea version sold well, and a year later, Kraft rolled out Oreos in flavors that are popular in Asians desserts — raspberry-and-blueberry and mango-and-orange.

The result? Over the past five years, Kraft said sales have grown an average of 60 percent a year, although it declined to give revenue amounts.

The Oreo now is the topselling cookie in China with a market share of 13 percent. The previous top cookie was a biscuit by a Chinese company.

Kraft, which operates in more than 80 countries, is taking a similar approach with other snacks.

In Saudi Arabia, Kraft offers its Tang powder drink in a lemon-pepper flavor.

In Mexico, it comes in tropical fruit flavors like tamarind and mandarin, and a hibiscus version fashioned after the flower.

Sales have nearly doubled to $1 billion worldwide since Kraft rolled out the localized versions in 2006.

Coffee for your cereal?

Kellogg Co., the world’s largest cereal maker, also has intensified its focus on catering to local tastes as it attempts to grow its

snack business overseas.

Last year, the company’s revenue in Latin America topped $1 billion for the first time. And in February, Kellogg said it agreed to buy Pringles chip brand from Procter & Gamble for $2.7 billion. The deal will nearly triple its international snack business, making it the world’s second-largest snack maker behind PepsiCo Inc. The company, based in Battle Creek, Mich., already sells products in more than 180 countries.

It’s learning that on-theground insights can pay off. In Europe, for instance, Kellogg for many years had marketed its cereals there just as it did in the U.S. But it failed to take into account that many in the region don’t drink cold milk in the morning.

Now, an American traveling in Spain might find it surreal to see TV ads showing All-Bran cereal floating in a steaming cup of coffee. Kellogg, which makes Keebler, Cheez-It and Kashi bars, declined to give details on how well the cereal is selling there, but it said the marketing has resulted in “great results.”

A similar story played out for PepsiCo. For the first time last year, revenue from the company’s international snacks division surpassed revenue in North America. To achieve that, PepsiCo has had to adjust its recipes.

In 2005, PepsiCo’s food division began a quest to make its Lay’s potato chips more appealing to local tastes in Russia. It wasn’t easy. Russians still like packaged versions of

a Soviet-era snack — stale bread slathered in oil and baked to a crisp.

“Potato chips were not big in the Communist time, so it’s something we’re gradually building,” says Marc Schroeder, who heads PepsiCo’s food division in Russia.

To get a better sense of what Russians like, employees traveled around the country to visit people in their homes and talk about what they eat dayto-day. That was a big task. Russia has nine time zones and spans 7,000 miles, with eating habits that vary by region.

The findings were invaluable for executives at the company’s Purchase, N.Y. headquarters. In the eastern part of the country, PepsiCo found that fish is a big part of the diet.

So it introduced “Crab” chips in 2006. It’s now the third most popular flavor in the country.

A “Red Caviar” flavor does best in Moscow, where caviar is particularly popular. “Pickled Cucumber,” which piggybacks off of a traditional appetizer throughout Russia, was introduced last year and is already the fourth most popular flavor. Other favorites include onion, bacon and “sour cream and herbs,” which is a bit sweeter than the American version.

The chip translations are paying off; sales of Lay’s have more than doubled in the past five years.

As for the classic Lay’s — an American favorite — Russians still aren’t biting.

“They find it a very boring flavor,” Schroeder said.

International flavors put to taste test

By Candice Choi Associated Press

NEW YORK — Chocolate dog food. Old garden hose. Weirdly fishy.

Take a panel of seven foodies and ply them with with exotic versions of popular American snacks from around the world, and these are the reactions you get. Tentative nibbles and scrunched noses.

The taste testers gathered recently at the headquarters of The Associated Press in New York and represented varying levels of culinary pedigree.

They included food bloggers, famed French pastry chef Jacques Torres and Marilyn Haggerty, an 85-year-old North Dakota newspaper columnist whose high praise of the Olive Garden went viral earlier this year. A New York fourth-grader and self-proclaimed junk food aficionado rounded out the group.

The spread of international snacks included “Forest Mushroom” and “Grilled Meat” Lay’s from Russia, fruity Oreos from China and lemon-peppered flavored Tang drink from Saudi Arabia. The reactions were mixed.

MARILYN HAGERTY, a North Dakota restaurant reviewer, samples a Lay’s potato chip during a taste test of international snacks in New York. she didn’t like, struggled to find something nice to say about the Lay’s from Russia. She thought that the “Pickled Cucumber” chips tasted like an “old garden hose.” Her verdict on the “Red Caviar” chips was a tad more positive.

“If I didn’t have anything else I’d like these,” Haggerty said, noting a weirdly fishy aftertaste.

She took several more bites just to make sure.

Meanwhile, Alyssa Shelasky, a New York magazine food blogger, declared the “Crab” chips to be “food poisoning.”

Pastry king Torres gave his seal of approval to the “Forest Mushroom” chips, which got the best reviews overall. “It actually smells like mushroom and it tastes a little bit like mushroom,” Torres said.

“It’s surprising.”

Torres also noted that flavors like “Grilled Meat” and “Red Caviar” were cooked up specifically for Russians, whose tastes differ dramatically from Americans.

As for the sweeter treats, everyone thought the chocolate, creamfilled Cheetos from Russia would do well with kids around the globe. The chocolate-smeared mouth of fourth-grader Bob Marley Jones showed that he agreed.

So did Jeff Novich, a 32-year-old junk food lover whose culinary resume includes acting as a body double for TV chef Bobby Flay. Novich thought that the chocolate Cheetos tasted like Cookie Crisp cereal.

But Shelasky, the magazine blogger, thought they could pass for doggie treats.

Most of the fruit-flavored Oreos from Asia were a bit too bizarre for the taste testers. Clay Williams, who writes for the blog MidtownLunch.com, said flavors such as “Rasp-

berry-Blueberry” and “Mango-Orange” came across as too fake and processed.

When it came to Tang, panelists were at first skeptical about exotic flavors like “Lemon-Pepper” from Saudi Arabia. But they were relieved when they didn’t detect any pepper after a couple sips.

Everyone agreed that it tasted like lemonade, so much so that they thought the flavor could do well in the United States — with one little tweak.

“This one I think would sell if you took away the pepper shaker on the cover,” said Jocelyn Noveck, a national writer for the AP who sometimes writes about food. “No one in America is going to buy it with that on it.”

Although panelists said they wouldn’t buy most of the items, they agreed that the flavors could be fun at a party. Novich, the junkfood junkie, said he’d serve the fruity Oreos twisted open so guests could see the bright pink, blue and orange cream centers.

Bob Marley Jones, the 8-year-old, added: “You would like to see the look on the other people’s faces when they walk in and they see grilled meat chips. That would be fun.”

Grease a muffin tin (or line with paper cups). In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat until well mixed.

In another bowl, whisk together flour, whole-wheat flour, baking soda, salt and spices. Add half of the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Then mix in the buttermilk. Add the final amount of the flour mixture, beating just until combined.

The batter may still be a bit lumpy.

In a small food processor or blender, whiz together the topping ingredients.

Pulse until nuts are very finely ground and ingredients are well-blended.

Spoon batter into prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Sprinkle the top with a rounded tablespoon of the sugar nut topping. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the muffin comes out clean.

Cool muffins in the tin for 5 minutes, then carefully lift out to a cooling rack.

A DISH OF STEAMED HAKE picks up flavor when cooked in parchment with other ingredients.

Steamed hake packs in the flavor

By Alison Ladman For The Associated Press

Admittedly, steamed fish doesn’t exactly scream mouthwatering.

But what it lacks in excitement it more than makes up for in health cred.

Steaming generally involves no added fat and is a great way of retaining all of the nutrients in your food.

It’s also relatively speedy.

One of the best ways to steam fish is what the French call en papillote (pronounced on pap-eeoat), or literally “in parchment.” In this simple method, fish is wrapped in a packet of parchment paper.

As it cooks, the food releases juices. Those flavorful juices turn to steam and are trapped in the packet, cooking and flavoring the food, while keeping it moist.

For our dish, we went with hake, a firm white fish. We arranged it over a bed of seasoned green beans and topped it with a simple blend of fresh herbs and lemon. Other ideas could be par-cooked, thinly sliced potatoes, scallops and rosemary.

Hake en Papillote Start to finish: 30 minutes Servings: 4 1/2 pound small green beans, trimmed Pinch smoked paprika Salt and ground black

pepper Four 4-ounce hake fillets 4 sprigs fresh thyme 4 fresh mint leaves 4 small sprigs fresh marjoram 4 lemon slices Heat the oven to 375 F. Cut 4 large pieces parchment paper, about 12-by20-inches each. Fold each in half the short way.

In a small bowl, toss the green beans with the paprika. Season with salt and black pepper. Open each sheet of parchment similar to a book. Arrange a quarter of the beans on one half of each sheet of parchment, placing them close to the fold line. Top each pile with a hake fillet. Season again with salt and black pepper.

Top each fillet with a sprig of thyme, a mint leaf, a sprig of marjoram and a slice of lemon. Fold the parchment packets closed like a book again. Starting at one end of the fold, fold the edges of the paper together every couple of inches, creating a seam all the way around. Tuck the last end under and place on a baking sheet.

Bake for 10 minutes. To serve, place each packet on a serving plate and tear open at the center.

THE FLYING FORK

a blog by Megan Stuke

Party continues with black bean soup

I

f I were an organized hostess, I’d have been posting Cinco de Mayo recipes for weeks in advance of the alcoholiday, but I’m not. We did have a few people over for fun in the sun and the accompanying food and drink that day, but I threw it all together on a whim. We had a fabulous fiesta, complete with jalapeno margaritas (one day I will share the recipe for that with you if I get permisWhat’s a sion from dieting girl, its creator), especially fajitas, conshrimp, one who is fetti guacamole, feeling a tiny m a r g a r i t a cheesecake, bit guilty works. about her theOn Sunindulgence day, all that with said was left lurking on my jalapeno margaritas, pr eofsrt i- gp ea rr tayto do with tor shelves this sparse was half a bowl of avoleftover cado cilansituation? tro coleslaw, Make black two ears bean soup, of chipotle corn, of course.” roasted and a small Tupperware container off spicy black beans. What’s a dieting girl, especially one who is feeling a tiny bit guilty about her indulgence with said jalapeno margaritas, to do with this sparse leftover situation? Make black bean soup, of course.

This is a some-assemblyrequired dish, as in some assembly, but not very much.

Diet-friendly, hearty, comes together in about five minutes. It’s my new best friend.

My beans were already laden with the appropriate spices, and my corn was already roasted with chipotle spice, but assuming your refrigerator doesn’t hold the exact same leftovers as mine did Sunday morning, I’ll make the recipe for those of you who are starting from scratch.

Spicy Black Bean Soup 1 can black beans, divided 1 can petite diced tomatoes, divided 1/2 cup Mexican light beer (Corona Light is what I had), divided 1/2 cup corn (if you can grill or dry roast it you get extra flavor points, but it’s not necessary) 1 tablespoon chipotle seasoning 1 tablespoon cumin 1 tablespoon chopped pickled jalapenos Please see FORK, page 7B

BUTTERMILK SPICE MUFFINS, HERBED BAKED EGGS AND BLUEBERRY SOUP, back, make for a simple, dad-and-kid-friendly Mother’s Day breakfast. Fresh herbs and garnishes make the dishes elegant enough to feel special, but the recipes are simple enough for anyone to make.

Queen for a Day

Treat Mom to a breakfast that’s elegant in its simplicity

By Sara Shepherd sshepherd@ljworld.com

Cookies with candied rose petals.

Multi-cheese soufflés.

Homemade Hollandaise sauce. Champagne cocktails.

Sure, many elegant gourmet recipes would be great for Mother’s Day brunch. Problem is, they require cooking and grocery shopping skills that, at least if yours is a typical household, are possessed exclusively by mom.

Isn’t she supposed to be getting a break this Sunday?

More than expensive gifts, most moms love spending time with their families, and they take it to heart when loved ones spend time on them.

Here’s an at-home breakfast menu that features simple extras such as fresh herbs — not fancy techniques or hard-to-find ingredients — to make the dishes elegant enough to make mom feel special but easy enough for dad and the kids to whip up.

Herbed Baked Eggs call for just three ingredients plus a few fresh herbs to dress them up, adding garden flavor and a gourmet feel.

Garnished with a dollop of yogurt and a slice of lemon, kidfriendly Blueberry Soup looks restaurantready.

Finally, Buttermilk Spice Muffins re-

quire buttermilk and chopped nuts, but all of the other ingredients are probably already in your kitchen. They even have whole-wheat flour.

Mom should approve!

Herbed Baked Eggs Start to finish: 15 minutes Servings: 1 2 tablespoons heavy cream 1/2 tablespoon butter 3 large eggs 1 teaspoon fresh chives, chopped 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped 1/2 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped Salt and pepper to taste Preheat broiler and position rack about 4 inches from broiler. In an individual gratin dish or ramekin, combine heavy cream and butter; set on heavy baking sheet. Broil for 3 minutes or until cream and butter are bubbly.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, crack eggs, leaving yolks intact.

Add eggs to hot cream mixture and top with chives, thyme and rosemary. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, if desired.

Place back under broiler for 4 to 6 minutes or until whites are cooked but still soft. The eggs will continue to cook once removed from the oven. Allow to rest for 1 minute. Serve hot.

Blueberry Soup Start to finish: 2 hours (30 minutes active) Servings: 2 generous One 1-pound bag frozen unsweetened blueberries 1 cup water 5 tablespoons sugar Two 1/4-inch-thick lemon slices 1 cinnamon stick Pinch of salt 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Additional lemon wedges and low-fat vanilla yogurt (or frozen vanilla yogurt) for garnish In heavy medium saucepan over high heat, bring first 7 ingredients to boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until berries are very tender, about 15 minutes.

Discard lemon slices and cinnamon stick.

Puree half of soup in blender or processor.

Transfer all of soup to medium bowl and refrigerate until very cold.

(Can be prepared 2 days ahead.)

Divide soup between 2 bowls or large goblets. Serve with Please see MOM, page 7B

Serving tips

To make breakfast simpler, skip the muffins and serve toast or store-bought pastries instead. To make it more elaborate, set out a wedge of Brie cheese and some fresh fruit.

If you don’t have individual ramekins, you can bake multiple servings of eggs in a single, larger dish, such as an 8-by-8-inch casserole dish.

Don’t forget something to drink. Have an adult make coffee, or pick up a box of assorted teas mom can choose from for a ladylike hot drink.

Leftover Blueberry Soup? Swirl it into oatmeal, or pour it over yogurt, pancakes or ice cream.

Last but not least, when it comes to moms, a few flowers go a long way. Cut some from the yard and put them on the table, or pick up a small bouquet while you’re at the grocery store.

Dear Annie: My 25year marriage is falling apart. My husband’s 40-year-old daughter, “Sally,” has been living with us for eight months.

She occasionally buys a few groceries, but otherwise pays nothing. She does no work around the house. I’ve asked her to help clean the shared bathroom. She says she doesn’t think she should have to do any cleaning because she doesn’t mess anything up. She uses the bathtub more than we do and has all kinds of junk in there.

She says her father also has stuff in there, so it’s my job to clean it. I refuse.

Meanwhile, my husband says Sally is right.

He agrees that she shouldn’t have to do any work around the house because she has a full-time job. (We are retired.) She also never cleans up after herself in the kitchen and doesn’t

help with the dishes after eating the dinner I cook.

This is causing major problems between my husband and me. He isn’t interested in counseling.

What can I do about Sally? — A Sad Marriage Dear Sad: If Sally has a full-time job, she should be paying rent.

If she won’t pay rent, she should contribute to the household by helping with the housework, groceries and cooking on a regular basis. The fact that you are retired doesn’t make you her servant. Tell your hus-

And Steven Tyler, doing his best impression of a doddering, eccentric uncle in the attic, could only nod in agreement.

For Ledet, the overpraise served only to remind “Idol” watchers that the aura of superiority and inevitability can be the kiss of death.

The show’s voters have often punished talent too good to win “Idol.”

If you don’t believe me, ask Adam Lambert, Chris Daughtry or Jennifer Hudson.

Like “The Big Chill,” the drama “White Heat” (9 p.m., BBC America) uses the death of a friend to reacquaint a circle of friends that formed in the turbulent 1960s.

But unlike that “feel good” movie, “Heat” is not a funeral for a sensibility. It’s a story spanning five decades and a multitude of characters, set against the youthful idealism, union strife and IRA violence of the 1970s, Margaret Thatcher’s strident leadership of the 1980s, Tony Blair’s era of affluence during the late 1990s and 2000s and the age of global terror that brings us to the present day.

The action bounces back and forth in time, mixing period footage with scenes of unfolding melodrama.

In case you hadn’t noticed, NBC axed the largely unwatched “Best Friends Forever.” In its place, look for an hour of pranks on “Betty White’s Off Their Rockers” (7 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.).

Tonight’s other highlights Brick finds a bad luck charm on “The Middle” (7 p.m., ABC).

“Nature” (7 p.m., PBS, check local listings) follows two white lion cubs in South Africa during their vulnerable, formative years.

A challenging trip to Disneyland on “Modern Family” (8 p.m., ABC).

“NOVA” (8 p.m., PBS) examines killer tornadoes.

Amanda/Emily’s 10-year plan revealed on “Revenge” (9 p.m., ABC).

band HE can clean up after her.

Your real problem is that your husband doesn’t back you up, and he puts Sally’s preferences above yours. The goal should be to get Sally out of your house as soon as possible. It is not healthy for any of you if she remains dependent on Daddy.

Dear Annie: I am in an abusive marriage. There has been some physical abuse along with verbal, emotional and mental abuse. It has gone on for three years, and I think about leaving every day.

I cry all the time.

I have tried to be a good wife, but nothing I do is good enough. I have talked to a couple of counselors, and they tell me I need to get out.

I want to, but I don’t have any money (he has seen to that) and I have no place to go. I don’t have any family or friends close by to stay with.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Wednesday, May 9: This year your serious ways let bosses, friends and loved ones know that you are not kidding. As a result, your opinions will carry far more weight than they have in the past. If you are single, you could attract someone quite interesting. If you are attached, team up and zero in on a long-term goal or desire.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) You have the ability to carry out the best-laid plans. You are a force to be dealt with, and you aren’t afraid of being a leader.

Tonight: A must appearance.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Keep reaching out for others with determination and vigor. Evaluate an issue thoroughly, seek out other opinions and speak to a person you respect about the dilemma at hand. Tonight: Say “no” to limitations, especially if they are self-imposed.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Deal directly with someone you care about. Your ability to clear up problems and handle issues is dependent on this person’s good will. Tonight: Dinner for two.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Defer to others, and you’ll gain a deeper understanding of what is possible. You could be overwhelmed by all of your options and might not be exactly sure about which way to go.

Tonight: Accept an invitation.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You have a way about you that attracts many people. Your laughter and sense of direction help you and also those around you.

Tonight: Choose a stress buster.

jacquelinebigar.com

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Funnel your imagination into a fun project. A child or loved one senses your energy and naturally wants to draw you in. Tonight: Put your feet up.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Getting going could have you grumbling. If you are really out of sorts, a change of plans might be a great idea. Tonight: Head home early.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You have a lot on your mind. In a sense, you feel inspired — it’s as though you have a muse in your life. Tonight: Be happy. Love the one you are with.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might want to rethink a personal matter. On some level, you might like to daydream about what could have been, as opposed to dealing with reality.

Tonight: happy at home.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You beam in whatever you desire. Your instincts lead you down the right path. The unexpected might toss some pebbles in your path, but that will not stop you.

Tonight: Togetherness is the theme.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Sit back, and let others run the show. You might think that you can do it better, or perhaps you are relieved not to be carrying this burden. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) It seems as if others think they know better than you. The confusion that ensues might give you a chuckle, but remember to say little.

Tonight: Where the gang is.
