K-S-Who? University seeks more scholarly name

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

MANHATTAN — Don’t call Kansas State University “K-State” anymore.

K-State President, er, Kansas State President Kirk Schulz said

the school wants to be known nationally as Kansas State.

“We are consciously moving in that direction to a single brand,” Schulz told Gov. Sam Brownback and business leaders Tuesday during a meeting of the Governor’s Council of

Economic Advisors.

Schulz said “K-State” works for athletics, but as the school seeks to increase its scholarly rankings among national universities, it needs to be called Kansas State because in Kentucky or other places, K-State refers to

‘They have to have a life, too’

different schools.

The complete transition, however, may be difficult. Schulz gave members of the council a copy of the school’s long-range plan. It’s called “K-State 2025: A Visionary Plan for Kansas State University.”

Plans for extra taxes to pay for an extra level on a proposed downtown parking garage are going to take some extra study at Lawrence City Hall.

City commissioners at their Tuesday meeting kept alive the idea of spending $1 million to add 72 parking spaces to a garage planned as part of the $19 million library expansion project. But all five commissioners said they had concerns about how a special assessment would be added to the property tax bills of downtown CITY COMMISSION property owners.

“I don’t see a lot of hard resistance to the idea that we need more parking downtown,” said Mayor Bob Schumm.

“But I agree that in terms of how we assess the costs for this, there are some cases that aren’t as equitable as the whole.”

Commissioners expressed concerns after hearing from a crowd of about eight speakers largely opposed to the idea of adding Please see PARKING, page 2A

Governor’s office needs to publicize tax cuts, business leaders say

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

MANHATTAN — Business leader allies of Gov. Sam Brownback on Tuesday told the governor that his administration needed to

do more to get the message out that many businesses were going to get a big tax cut next year.

Ivan Crossland, chief executive officer of Crossland Construction, said that when he talks to business

will “invest in the economy.”

David Murfin, president of Murfin Drilling, said a lot of business heads don’t believe the tax cuts are coming.

a special assessment to downtown property tax bills to pay for the $1 million project. The assessment would be based on the square footage of the lot, which caused owners of several large pieces of property — including a representative of The World Company, which is the parent company for the Lawrence JournalWorld and LJWorld.com — to question the plan.

Other property owners also questioned whether the general public should be asked to pay for more of the costs because the additional parking spaces likely will be used heavily by users of the Lawrence Public Library, the Douglas County Senior Center and the Lawrence Outdoor Aquatic Center, which are all public facilities located adjacent to the proposed garage.

“I think this really is more of a public parking thing,” said George Paley, who owns multiple buildings downtown.

Some residents argued the city should build only what was approved by voters in 2010 as part of the library project. But city officials have said adding an extra level of parking to the garage will never be cheaper than it will be during the upcom-

years.

Survivors include two sons, Charles W. Crumet, and partner, H.R. Malinowsky, Berwyn, IL, Michael L. Crumet, and wife, Lucy, Lawrence, KS; nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her brother, Robert Beard.

The family will receive friends from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. on Thursday at Warren-McElwain Mortuary in Lawrence.

ing expansion of the library.

“I feel like our job is not just to plan for the next couple of years but to really plan further out,” said City Commissioner Aron Cromwell. “We’re going to need those spots in the future. You can argue that we need them today, but we’re really going to need them in 15 years.”

Commissioners asked staff members to adjust the proposed special assessment financing plan to address several issues, including:

A way to exempt from the assessment residential properties in downtown that provide their own parking

A process to exempt from assessment the parking lots of commercial properties that provide significant off-street parking

A policy that would allow churches and other tax-exempt organizations to not have to pay the special assessments

A process that would make it easier for downtown property owners to file a protest petition to stop the special taxing district from proceeding City Manager David Corliss said he would bring a new financing plan back to the commission in the next two to three weeks for consideration.

Cystic CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

natural enzymes from helping the body break down and absorb food.

Dr. Philip Black, medical director of the Cystic Fibrosis Center at Children’s Mercy Hospital & Clinics in Kansas City, Mo., said about 1 in 3,000 babies are born with the disorder. In the 1950s, few children with cystic fibrosis lived to attend elementary school.

Today, the median lifespan is age 38 because of advances in research and medical treatments.

“The hope is that the development of new medications will make their lifespan normal,” Black said.

That hope is what Zach and Claire’s parents, Bobby and Amanda, hold on to each day. It’s also the reason they are participating in this Saturday’s Great Strides walk in Lawrence, which will not only raise awareness about cystic fibrosis but also provide money for research, care and education programs through the national Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

“We are trying to keep them as healthy as possible so they don’t have to have the struggles,” Bobby Arnold said. “Our hope is the kids will get bigger and stronger and the treatments will too.”

Bobby Arnold said they had “no clue” about cystic fibrosis because there were no family members who had the disease. The Arnolds, of Eudora, have two children, Madison, 12, and Brant, 10, who do not have cystic fibrosis.

Black said millions of Americans carry the defective cystic fibrosis gene, but do not have symptoms.

That’s because a person with cystic fibrosis must inherit two defective genes: one from each parent.

He said within the past five years all states have required a newborn screening for the disease so it’s detected early and they can begin treatments. Before, it sometimes wasn’t detected for several years.

When Claire was born she weighed 7 pounds and continued to weigh that amount at age 3 months.

Her concerned parents decided to seek a second opinion from a pediatrician who referred them to Children’s Mercy, where they got the diagnosis. She had several symptoms, including poor growth, frequent greasy stools and salty-tasting skin. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, frequent lung infections and persistent coughing.

When Zach was born, the couple opted to have a test done to see if he had cystic fibrosis. They faced a 25 percent chance.

Amanda believes it was in God’s plan for them both to have the disease.

JOIN THE FIGHT The Heart of America chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is hosting its third annual Great Strides walk in Lawrence at 10 a.m. Saturday at Sunflower School, 2521 Inverness Drive.

The three-mile walk raises awareness about cystic fibrosis, a fatal genetic disease that affects 30,000 people, and the event provides money for research, care and education programs.

Last year’s event drew about 200 participants and raised $55,467.

Registration begins at 9 a.m. and there’s no minimum donation reshe said. “They really look out for one another.”

Every day, they take medications, undergo treatments to clear their lungs, and do a lot of hand washing to avoid colds and other infections.

“When it’s cold or flu season, we’re very protective,” Bobby Arnold said. “The longer they have a cold, the more chances they have of getting it in their lungs and the more chances of them having lung damage.”

Black said there are various devices that patients can use to help get rid of the mucus. One is the vest, which compresses a patient’s chest between five and 25 times per second. He said it breaks the mucus loose so they can cough it out. The vest originally weighed about 75 pounds, and now it’s about 20 pounds.

There’s also the Flutter or “pickle device,” which weighs a few ounces and is much more portable. Patients breathe into the device and it creates the same frequency of oscillation.

Black said it’s generated by their breathing rather than a machine. Claire is old enough to use the pickle.

Every three months, they have appointments at Children’s Mercy where they undergo testing.

They also are on highcalorie diets with the goal of eating 3,000 calories per day, which makes their older siblings a little jealous. They get to indulge in chocolate milk and eat pancakes topped with bananas, whipped cream and syrup.

They love bacon. The more they eat, the better.

“We try to have them eat more often because it can be hard for them to eat big meals,” Amanda Arnold said. “They like fruits and vegetables, which is good, but they don’t contain enough calories, so we’ve tried to add dips and Ranch dressing, and apples with peanut butter.”

So far, they’ve avoided feeding tubes and extended hospital stays for antibiotics or other treatments.

“For both of them, we are really blessed and lucky because they are doing really well,” Bobby Arnold said. need to start a ‘Believe it’ campaign,” he said.

Brownback signed into law cuts that will exempt the owners of 191,000 partnerships, sole proprietorships and other businesses from income taxes.

In addition, the new law also will decrease the individual income tax rates for 2013, with the top rate dropping to 4.9 percent from 6.45 percent.

Request for site near proposed rec center mulled

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

No, Lawrence city commissioners on Tuesday didn’t yet again change their mind on where a new northwest Lawrence sports complex should be located.

But at their weekly meeting, commissioners did change their position on whether additional retail zoning on property near the proposed sports complex site should be considered.

Commissioners unanimously agreed to rescind their action from last week that withdrew a request to rezone 146 acres on the northwest corner of Sixth Street and the South Lawrence Trafficway for retail uses.

The northwest corner previously was targeted by the city to house a combination city-Kansas University sports complex, plus additional retail components such as hotels, restaurants and gasoline stations.

But that plan fell apart after KU officials earlier this month said they were no longer interested in the site, and instead were pursuing plans for a sports Carter complex east of the South Lawrence Trafficway on property that is just north of the northeast corner.

So, the plans for a sports complex on the northwest corner may be dead, but the idea for a new retail center may not be. Commissioners on Tuesday did not approve the retail zoning, but instead sent the rezoning request back to the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission for a new recommendation.

“We’ve moved the recreation center, but we haven’t moved it far,” said City Commissioner Hugh Carter. “It is just a stone’s throw away.”

That’s a different tone than what commissioners had last week, when, on a 4-1 vote, commissioners agreed to withdraw the request for retail zoning at the site. Commissioners last week did not indicate what the property, which is already in the city limits, should be zoned.

The property is owned by a group led by Lawrence

to restore the exterior of the building, stabilize the entire structure and then find an appropriate user who will buy the building to create an attractive commercial use for the property.

Brown estimated it would cost between $750,000 to $1

The LPA plans to stop short of that, but Brown said he didn’t have an estimate on how much the preservation alliance may have to spend on the structure.

“We will put in $30,000

An 1869 building in East Lawrence has been purchased by the Lawrence Preservation Alliance in an effort to save the structure that once was the center of the city’s thriving German-American community.

Leaders with the LPA announced Tuesday that they had finalized a deal to purchase the Turnhalle Building, 900 R.I., from Lawrence businessman Rod Ernst.

“To us, this is the most significant, currently threatened historic structure in all of Lawrence,” said Dennis Brown, president of the LPA. “If you could tell us that we could get whatever property we are most concerned about, we would pick Turnhalle.”

Currently, the building houses Free State Glass and various other businesses.

From its construction in 1869 to about 1920, the building was home to a GermanAmerican community organization called Turnverein.

But as World War I broke out, the German-American group became less active.

Ernst’s grandfather Philip Ernst bought the building in the mid-1930s after the organization had become defunct. Rod Ernst said Tuesday that the decision to sell the building was difficult.

“I have emotional ties to the building, so I hated to give it up,” Ernst said. “But it got to the point where it was going to take a lot of money to save a lot of the exterior. This group will have better access to public money and donations than I would.”

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Average SAT scores higher in Lawrence Lawrence high schoolers out-performed the state and national averages on the SAT college-entrance exam last school year.

At Free State High School, the 70 seniors who took the test got a mean score in reading of 622, 613 in math and 610 in writing. At Lawrence High School, 53 students scored a mean of 601 in reading, 600 in math and 563 in writing. The highest possible score in each test is 800.

The statewide average was 595 in reading, 599 in math and 570 in writing. The state mean was up 1 point in

math and writing and up five points in reading.

Only about 5 percent of Kansas students take the SAT; the ACT exam is historically more popular for colleges not on the East or West Coast.

In Lawrence, more girls took the SAT than boys last year — 77 to 46 — and their mean scores were lower for reading and math in both schools. But girls from both schools outperformed boys in writing with a mean score 8 points higher at Free State and 29 points higher at Lawrence High.

Retail

Eldredge has argued the regional sports complex will suffer if additional retail zoning isn’t allowed at the intersection. The requested zoning would allow for up to 200,000 square feet of new retail space.

The City Commission meeting also took on a legal feel to it Tuesday.

Eldredge hired a court reporter to attend the meeting. After the meeting, she stopped short of saying the reporter was on hand because her clients were contemplating legal action against the city.

“We just want to make sure we have a good, clear record in the event that we need one,” Eldredge said.

businessmen Duane and Steve Schwada, and a representative for the group urged commissioners on Tuesday to simply approve the rezoning now. Lawrence attorney Jane Eldredge noted the Planning Commission and the city’s planning staff already have recommended approval of the retail zoning for the corner once.

Eldredge contends their recommendations weren’t contingent upon a new recreation center being built on the property. City commissioners, though, said they want planners to provide a recommendation now that they know a recreation center won’t be on the site.

U.S. News & World Report college rankings.

KU ranked 106th among national universities, which is down from 101st last year, and 51st among public universities, down from 46th, according to the list.

Universities such as Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Iowa State, Colorado, Iowa, Texas and Texas A&M ranked higher than KU and Kansas State University, which was ranked 139th among national universities and 70th among public universities.

Higher education officials said that while the rankings are important, they are not all-important.

“You don’t start with U.S. News & World Report,” said Kansas Board of Regents Vice Chairman Fred Logan, although he added that the magazine’s rankings cannot be ignored.

Logan, KU and KSU officials told the Governor’s Council of Economic Advisors that they had longterm plans to increase rankings.

State 2025,” seeks to put the school in the top 50 of public universities by 2025.

In a breakout session, KU Provost Jeff Vitter said the Bold Aspirations plan “is central to everything that we are doing.”

Vitter said one of KU’s major goals is maintaining membership in the Association of American Universities, a prestigious group that includes 61 schools. He noted there are 25 schools ranked ahead of KU in U.S. News & Report that are not members of AAU. Economic council members said they were impressed with the KU and K-State plans and recommended that the universities report more

frequently on progress made on those plans, and tell the public more about successes at the schools.

Brownback suggested putting together a summit on higher education to look at “where we are and where we are going” and include leadership from “all sectors of Kansas” at the meeting.

Economic council members said the universities should tailor their goals in a way that helped the business community.

Vitter said, “When you look at countries or states that have really prospered, they are all centered around education.”

Gov. refuses to set ‘benchmark’ for health exchange

By John Hanna Associated Press

TOPEKA — Kansas’ insurance regulator is asking Gov. Sam Brownback to spell out the requirements for health coverage to be sold in a new online marketplace mandated by the federal health care overhaul, but Brownback still plans to make no decisions until after the presidential election.

Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger made her recommendations public Tuesday, a day after she sent the conservative Republican governor a letter containing her proposals for the “benchmark plan” that companies must offer to participate in the online marketplace. The federal health care law says such marketplaces, known as exchanges, will start operating in 2014.

Praeger’s proposal HEALTH calls for requiring companies to offer the same coverage Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas does in its comprehensive plan for small groups, along with additional coverage for children’s eye and dental care. The commissioner noted in her letter that if Brownback does not set the state’s requirements by the end of September, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services could do it for the state.

Brownback has strongly criticized the federal health care law, enacted in 2010 and championed by President Barack Obama. Praeger, a moderate Republican, has praised the law as an important step toward providing universal access to health insurance, and she and Brownback disagree over how aggressive the state should be in setting up an exchange.

“My administration will not make any decisions regarding the implementation of Obamacare until after the November elections,” Brownback said in a statement Tuesday, reiterating the stance he’s long held.

States have until Nov. 16 to declare whether they still want to be partners in running an exchange or leave it entirely to the federal government. Kansas hasn’t started to set one up because Brownback and Republicans who control the Legislature oppose the law. Brownback has argued that if Republican Mitt Romney defeats Obama, many requirements in the law are likely to be waived.

Praeger’s proposal for the exchange’s benchmark plan is designed to give consumers who use the online marketplace familiar coverage at competitive prices, said Linda

Sheppard, the Insurance Department’s project manager for the health overhaul.

“That does help the market stay stable,” Sheppard said.

The federal government limited Kansas and other states to setting their benchmarks based upon 10 health plans already widely available to their consumers.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas provides coverage for about 900,000 Kansans, and Praeger is proposing that the exchange benchmark be tied to its most popular small group plan. At the end of March, more than 30,000 people were enrolled in it.

Report: Public research universities in peril

By Justin Pope Associated Press

They’re the pride and backbone of American higher education, doing essential research and educating en masse the next generations of scientists and engineers. But a new report argues the mission of the country’s 101 major public research universities is imperiled by budget cuts amounting to onefifth of their state funding over the past decade.

State support for public research universities fell 20 percent between 2002 and 2010, after accounting for inflation and increased enrollment of about 320,000 students nationally, according to the report published Tuesday by the National Science Board.

The organization provides independent advice to the federal government and oversees the National Science Foundation.

Ten states saw support fall 30 percent or more, and in two — Colorado and Rhode Island — the drop was nearly 50 percent. Only seven states increased support.

The study is the latest in a series of alarm bells warning that public research universities — which perform the majority of academic science and engineering research funded by the federal government, and educate a disproportionate share of scientists in training — have been weakened by years of eroding state support.

Many are losing their best

faculty to private institutions, and tuition increases in response to the budget cuts threaten the historically affordable access students have enjoyed.

Among the report’s findings: While public research universities still managed to increase instructional spending 10 percent between 1999 and 2009, to about $10,000 per student, private universities increased such spending 25 percent over the that period, and now spend more than twice as much per student on teaching as their public counterparts.

Meanwhile, the salary gap between public and private research universities is also widening, raising the specter of a twotier system in which most of the very best faculty migrate to private institutions and work with a comparatively small number of students.

Public research universities — particularly top-tier flagship institutions like the universities of Michigan, Virginia, Texas and California — are in some ways stuck between worlds.

They compete for students and faculty and conduct research on a national and even global scale. But they remain under substantial political control of the states, and dependent on them for funding.

That funding has fallen precipitously, from 38 percent of their budgets two decades ago to about 23 percent now, with the number now below 10 percent at several top institutions. As those percentages fall further, some experts believe public institutions could begin essentially privatizing themselves, giving up what little state funding remains — and the public obligations it carries — in exchange for autonomy.

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE Survey: Americans feel more confident in economy WASHINGTON — Americans are more confident in the economy than they have been in seven months, an encouraging sign for President Barack Obama with six weeks left in the presidential race.

A new survey of consumer confidence rose Tuesday to its highest level since February on expectations that hiring will soon pick up. And a separate report showed home values rising steadily, signaling sustained improvement in housing.

“This is like an opinion poll on the economy without the political parties attached,” said John Ryding, chief economist at RDQ Economics, a consulting firm. The confidence survey “says people are feeling better. If so, they are less likely to vote for change.”

The Conference Board’s index of consumer confidence shot up in September. The jump surprised many economists because the most recent hiring and retail sales figures have been sluggish.

The increased confidence could help explain recent polls that show Obama with a widening lead over Mitt Romney in some battleground states.

The consumer confidence index is closely watched because consumer spending drives nearly 70 percent of economic activity. The index jumped from 61.3 for August to 70.3 for September. It remains well below 90, the level that is thought to signify a healthy economy.

LAWRENCE JOURNAL-WORLD LJWorld.com Wednesday, September 26, 2012

EDITORIALS

Justice, peace During a visit to Kansas University Monday, the president of Colombia shared some profound thoughts about the balance between justice and peace.

K

ansas University has many distinguished graduates who are tackling difficult challenges in a variety of fields.

It seems that few of those challenges, however, would be as great as the one faced

by Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos as he works to bring peace to his country.

Santos stopped at KU Monday on his way to the United Nations. It was gratifying to hear the 1973 graduate talk about the positive influence KU had been in his life, helping him form his political ideals, along with a commitment to freedom and democracy.

It also was interesting to hear him talk about his approach to peace talks that start in two weeks with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia. The rebel group has been fighting the government for decades, Santos said. “We’ve been killing each other for 50 years.”

Trying to end such a long dispute presents special problems, and Santos clearly had given his approach considerable thought. He viewed the negotiations as a balancing act.

“The most difficult decision,” he said, “is where do you put the limit between justice and peace. If you ask the victim that question, they will always answer, ‘We want more justice,’ because he has been the victim. If you ask the same question to a future victim, they will always say, ‘We want more peace.’ … Where do you draw the line?”

If Santos can find the right place to draw that line, his skills could be put to good use in dozens of hotspots around the globe.

The challenge, Santos explained, is to convince victims to give up some of their desire for punishment and revenge and be willing to say simply, “I forgive you.”

Again, that’s a tall task. Santos said that he is confident that even if peace talks are successful, there will be people on both ends of the peace and justice spectrum who aren’t satisfied with the result.

Nonetheless, his assessment of the situation seems profound: Victims want the satisfaction of justice, but the only thing that will prevent more victims in the future is peace. We wish Santos and other world leaders Godspeed in finding the sweet spot that provides enough justice but also a path to peace.

Tax returns don’t matter Did anyone think the release of Mitt Romney’s tax returns would satisfy Democrats and make them focus on the real issues in this campaign, including President Obama’s failed domestic and foreign policy record and approaching massive tax increases? If so, please call me for a great deal on Arizona swampland.

The Obama campaign’s deputy manager, Stephanie Cutter, accused Romney of taking advantage of lower tax rates for capital gains available only to “those at the top.” Is Cutter saying Romney is wrong to obey tax law? The tax code is a mess. It, not Romney, should be the object of scorn. And by the way, Americans who make average incomes can benefit from lower capital gains taxes if they build sufficient wealth by making good investments.

Now that we know Romney paid a considerable amount of tax last year and in previous years, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid should apologize for his comment about an unnamed “source” he claimed told him Romney paid no taxes for a decade. After Romney released his returns, instead of apologizing, Reid tried a new tack. “The information released today reveals that Mitt Romney manipulated one of the only two years of tax returns he’s seen fit to show the American people,” Reid said in a statement. “And then only to ‘conform’ with his public statements. That raises the question: What else in those returns has Romney manipulated?” Reid, of course, still

I don’t care how much, or how little, the Romneys pay in taxes. I do care, and so should voters, about government overspending and a national debt that now tops $16 trillion.

I don’t care how much money anyone makes and neither should voters. Voters should be concerned only about whether they have the opportunity to make a decent living without having to depend on government. I do care — and so should voters — that our future is being mortgaged to pay for “entitlements” and huge interest on long-term debt that is greater than the gross domestic product of some countries.

Before leaving Washington to campaign for re-election, members of the Senate passed one of those stopgap spending bills, ensuring government paychecks will continue to go

To the editor: The future of public support for the arts in Kansas is in jeopardy — again. Action is needed now.

In order for Kansas to receive funding in FY 2014 (July 1, 2013-June 30, 2014) from the National Endowment for the Arts and MidAmerica Arts Alliance, the Department of Commerce must submit a partnership application to the NEA by Oct. 1. If they do not, Kansas will not be eligible for this funding until FY 2015 at the earliest. We must demand that Secretary of Commerce Pat George submit this application by Oct. 1.

There is a second problem. Although the Legislature appropriated $700,000, there has been no plan given or public accounting for how these funds have been or will be used. We must demand an accounting for these funds and ensure that a large portion is going to nonprofit arts programs around the state. If these newly appropriated funds are not used for arts programs, the governor and others may cite this inaction as cause to move the funds to another agency and kill the possibility of renewing public support for the arts in the foreseeable future.

If you care about the arts in Kansas, please urge Secretary George to follow through on the state’s commitment to public funding.

out. It ends what many regard as one of the least productive legislative sessions in U.S. history; not necessarily a bad thing when you consider the damage Congress might have caused were it not for a Republican House crying, “NO!” Voters should also recall the numerous bills passed by the House and ignored in the Democrat-controlled Senate.

Government is supposed to be of, by and for the people, not in spite of the people. It is “we the people,” not you the government. It is the people who grant power to those who govern. It is not the government, or any politician, who has the constitutional right to limit our freedoms and shackle us to Washington.

Quote Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln, Mitt.

Quote Reagan. Remind people why the Democrats lost control of the House in 1994 and again in 2010. It makes no sense to vote for conservatives in one election and then vote for a liberal in another.

Four years ago, a majority of Americans were seduced

by Obama’s soaring and messianic rhetoric. It’s time for us to embrace what our parents and grandparents tried to hand down to us: individual responsibility and a sense of caring for each other. If Romney makes that case in this “entitlement nation,” he could win. If not, we’re finished and what Romney paid in taxes will matter even less than it should now.

A fond farewell to a friend My dog, Victoria, is dying.

She has congestive heart failure. It all began in December 2011 when, one night, she began to cough and have trouble breathing. When I took her in to see my veterinarian, she told me that Vicki’s left heart valve was leaky. But there was still time; medications and rest could prolong her life. In July, Vicki took a turn for the worse; her right heart valve had begun to leak.

But my wonderful veterinarian adjusted the medication, and Vicki is still around and happy, at least for a while.

There have been a few changes in our life together.

Vicki cannot go out and run in the fields like she used to do. She still goes out into the fenced area but no more running free. I can tell that she misses this. Every day when she awakens, she runs to the door to the outside and looks at it hopefully. And the medication makes her lose control over her bladder every now and then. It’s probably my imagination, but I sometimes think that she looks a bit embarrassed at the puddles. I also find myself spending a bit more time at home these days to be with Vicki and the other dogs. And I probably give them all more treats than I used to do.

So far as I can tell, Vicki really doesn’t know she’s sick let alone that our days together

are numbered. In fact, I have to make sure that I don’t look upset when I’m with her. She may not know that she’s sick, but she can quickly tell if I’m upset. She’s sweet about it and comes over and licks my face to comfort me. I usually have to go in the bathroom to hide for a few minutes when that happens.

Losing a dog or any companion animal is a hard thing. I don’t have any children so, like so many Americans, my dogs and cats have become children substitutes even though I know that’s not really a good thing. Of course, dogs don’t live as long as people, so when we adopt a dog and bring him or her into our lives, it has to be in the knowledge that we’ll probably outlive them. On the other hand, at 60, I often think that maybe I’ll get lucky and my dogs and cats might stick around as long as I will. Unfor-

tunately, that probably won’t be the case for Vicki, not unless my demise is unexpectedly imminent.

It is hard to lose a dog. It’s losing a friend and a family member. Dogs give unconditional love to their human companions. They steal food, mess up carpets and can bark in the middle of the night loud enough to wake the dead, but they are wonderful companions. As I contemplate losing my friend Vicki, alas, in the not to distant future, I do feel sad, but I also feel grateful.

She has been a wonderful, loving friend and companion for more than a decade, a decade that was not easy for me in many ways.

She has made me appreciate the joys of that special relationship humans and canines have shared for tens of thousands of years. She and my other canine and feline companions have enriched my life and filled it with love. There can be no greater gift, and every day that I have with her is an additional gift, one I intend to appreciate and never forget.

For those of you who’ve never had an animal companion, it’s not too late. Visit the Humane Society, who gave me Vicki, and find a special friend and fill your life with joy.

— Mike Hoeflich, a distinguished professor in the Kansas University School of Law, writes a regular column for the Journal-World.

To the editor: Those pontificating about tax fairness should read a Wall Street Journal article and historical records on tax revenue vs. tax cuts (cuts increased revenue by 40 percent in some cases). The “rich” pay income taxes at an average rate of 35 percent, or around 20 percent of their adjusted gross income to the government. By contrast, the bottom 40 percent in AGI pay an average of 5.9 percent, with 46 percent of all households paying zero, expanding from 40 percent in 2005.

What’s fair? How about everyone paying in something, since everyone gets something in return? When the Congressional Budget Office projects that proposed tax increases on the “rich” will fund the government for eight days, it shouldn’t be about who pays more but about a simple code that everyone can understand and affects everyone equally. Instead of creating a false class conflict (2 percent of wage earners are above $250,000/ year), candidates should focus on clear, prudent tax reform and our enormous national debt. Maybe the “rich” should forgo all the exemptions their accountants use when they file.

Do you trust bureaucrats to fix things? The IRS sends out billions to identity thieves. The USPS isn’t suspicious when delivering 2000 returns to the same address. The SSA sends up 18 percent of its checks to dead people. The GSA spends on lavish “conventions” like drunken sailors, and the DOE gives loans to companies that go bankrupt or are bought by the Chinese. This election, demand better.

Ken Meyer, Lawrence

Good show To the editor: Kudos to the cast and crew of “9 to 5,” the Dolly Parton musical at Theatre Lawrence. Once again our community theater has produced a hit. The show is not only fun and incredibly well acted and sung, but a useful reminder of the bad old days when the “old boys club” ruled the business world. Go for a great time and take your daughters. Don’t wait for the new theater, enjoy Theatre Lawrence now!

CITY SHOWDOWN TENNIS

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Self still landing the top recruits Every time a headline informs that Kansas University missed out on a highly rated basketball recruit, many local voices wonder, “Why can’t Bill Self and his staff get anybody anymore?”

It’s human nature to remember losses longer than victories, but a close inspection of the numbers reveals KU’s scoring rate for elite recruits has remained the same for the past quarter-century.

That encompasses the reigns of Roy Williams, who spent 15 years on the job, and Bill Self, entering his 10th season heading the region’s dominant basketball program.

No measure perfectly captures a coach’s success in landing top recruits, but getting players who earn one of the 24 annual invitations to participate in the McDonald’s All-American game ranks as the best.

In his 15 recruiting seasons at Kansas, Williams landed 15 McDonald’s AllAmericans who played for the Jayhawks: Darin Hancock, Calvin Rayford, Jacque Vaughn, Raef LaFrentz, Paul Pierce, Ryan Robertson, Lester Earl, Kenny Gregory, Eric Chenowith, Jeff Boschee, Nick Collison, Aaron Miles, Wayne Simien, J.R. Giddens and David Padgett (Chris Davis, an honoree in 1992, signed with KU, but failed to qualify).

In nine completed recruiting seasons at Kansas, Self has landed nine McDonald’s All-Americans: Mario Chalmers, Micah Downs, Julian Wright, Darrell Arthur, Sherron Collins, Cole Aldrich, Xavier Henry, Josh Selby and Perry Ellis.

So for both coaches, the ratio works out to exactly one hamburger All-American per season. Why then when Kansas misses on a recruit do the distraught voices seem louder than in the past? Easy. Recruiting is covered more intensely now than ever. Way back when, except in extreme cases, landing a recruit had a much better chance of drawing a headline than missing out on one. Now, both hits and misses make big news.

KU made it all the way to the NCAA title game last April without a McDonald’s All-American on the roster, but tracking the totals does make for an interesting way to gauge how realistic some are in reacting to recruiting news.

“Frustrated,” captures how many might feel about the current KU recruiting season, but if Self stopped right now — which he won’t, of course — chances are high one of his two committed recruits will earn McDonald’s All-American honors. Rivals.com ranks Brannen Greene, a 6-foot-7 forward from Forsyth, at No. 22 in the Class of 2013, and has Conner Frankamp, a 6-foot guard from Wichita, ranked 27th.

Yet, many probably won’t consider this year a success unless Self lands one of the nation’s top two recruits. Julius Randle, a 6-9 forward from Plano, Texas, teamed in high school with KU freshman Zach Peters.

Jabari Parker, a 6-8 forward from Chicago Public League powerhouse Simien High, also includes Kansas on his long list.

FREE STATE’S ALEXIS CZAPINSKI LOOKS AT AN EASY RETURN against Lawrence High on Tuesday at LHS. Czapinski teamed up with Megan McReynolds to defeat Lawrence’s Zoe Schneider and Abby Gillam, 8-3, at No. 1 doubles.

Firebirds slip past Lions to maintain dual dominance

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Free State High sophomore tennis player Taylor Hawkins had heard about her program’s dominance against rival Lawrence High through the years.

It made her city showdownclinching victory at No. 5 singles Tuesday at LHS feel even more important, especially considering Hawkins spends most of her time playing doubles for the Firebirds.

Out of her normal habitat, Hawkins eased into an 8-3 win over Lawrence junior Zoe Schneider that allowed Free State to edge the Lions, 5-4.

She felt some pressure to win, knowing Lawrence had the potential to knock off some of her teammates in the other ongoing singles matches, but eventually Hawkins got her forehand shots and serves working to her advantage.

“At first I was really nervous, and I didn’t know what to do,” said Hawkins of playing singles, “but I finally got in the groove and found out what her weaknesses were and stuff, so that helped a lot.”

LAWRENCE HIGH’S ABBY GILLAM LOOKS TO MAKE A RETURN against Free State in a doubles match on Tuesday at LHS. The dual victory improved Free State’s all-time record in the rivalry to 15-1.

“I wanted to keep it going,” Hawkins said. “It means a lot.”

A Hawkins loss would have doomed the Firebirds. FSHS held a 4-1 lead in matches, with four singles battles left to finish. After Hawkins sealed her team’s win, Lawrence earned three victories to close the dual. Brooke Braman beat Megan McReynolds, 8-7 (7-2)

in a tiebreaker, Abby Gillam defeated Alyssa Raye, 8-3, and Lily Abromeit held off Caitlin Dodd, 8-6.

Braman rarely plays singles for LHS, but she does in the summer, so she channeled that in her tiebreaker win after admittedly losing some focus when a 15-minute rain delay paused her match with McReynolds at 4-4.

“The tiebreaker was kind of a relief,” Braman said. “It felt

like a new chance and kind of a new beginning. I was able to start with a clean slate and go from there.”

LHS coach Chris Marshall felt proud about the play of his senior captains, Abromeit and Braman, in the narrow loss.

“I thought we had a shot,” Marshall said, “and unfortunately some of our girls were so excited about the match that I think the adrenaline got to them.”

Free State coach Oather Strawderman, too, was grateful for senior experience on his team. Emily Sadosky contributed to two of the Firebirds’ five wins. She and freshman Caitlin Dodd’s No. 2 doubles match against Abromeit and Braman early in the afternoon started off close before the Firebirds ran away to win, 8-3. Sadosky followed it up with an 8-0 defeat of Kendall Pritchard at No. 3 singles.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY JUNIOR THANUTTRA BOONRAKSASAT CHIPS A BALL to the eighth hole during the final day of the Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational on Tuesday at Alvamar Golf Club.

Boonraksasat finished second overall, while the Jayhawks won the tournament.

Smith Sunflower Invitational on Tuesday at Alvamar, wrapping up a 21-stroke victory for the Jayhawks’ fourth win in eight tries at the event.

The Jayhawks have won three of the four Smith tourneys in Lawrence and won once in four attempts at Colbert Hills in Manhattan, where the meet is contested every other year.

“This is a special place to us. We definitely had a home-course advantage, so to speak,” KU coach Erin O’Neil said. “We know the course real well. We trusted that and played our game and made it happen.”

Thanuttra Boonraksasat, Yupaporn Kawinpakorn and Gabby DiMarco finished second, fifth and seventh respectively as KU finished with a 54-hole total of 906 strokes (plus 42). Arkansas State placed second at 927, followed by Kansas State (928), North Dakota State (946), Oral Roberts (947),

KU’s Boonraksasat, a junior from Nonthaburi, Thailand, shot a final round 72 to finish eight strokes back of Arkansas State’s Abigail Laker, who shot 3-under-par 213.

“My short game has improved a lot from last year,” said Boonraksasat, who had rounds of 77-72-72. “I changed my putter, which has helped a lot. I actually wanted to win. I was going for under par, but it’s all good. Second is good enough.

The team win is what we wanted. It should help our confidence in the next tour-

me today, put me in good position to go for pins,” Laker said. “I hit my irons well to get it close.

“The course is in great condition,” she added. “You could never ask for better greens. It was immaculate, really.”

KU’s Audrey Yowell (8178-77—236) tied for 18th, while Meghan Potee (79-7880—237) tied for 22nd. Other KU results: Ann-Kathrin Wuensch, tie 35th, 85-7977—241; Michelle Woods, tie 45th, 82-80-82—244; Mackenzie Thayer, tie 57th, 83-8383—249; Carly Humes, tie 73rd, 96-91-86—273.

KU, which won its first team title since the Rio Verde Invitational last March, will next compete at the Susie Maxwell Berning Classic, Oct. 15-17 in Norman, Okla.

“I’m very encouraged,” O’Neil said. “This is the team I’ve known is there. It’s very encouraging to see the hard work they’ve been putting into it pay off.”

UNC: Williams’ kidney tumor benign The Associated Press

The University of North Carolina said men’s basketball coach Roy Williams’ surgically removed kidney tumor was not cancerous, though he will have a biopsy to ensure a second kidney tumor is also benign.

In a news release Tuesday afternoon, the school said tests have determined the tumor removed last week from Williams’ right kidney was an oncocytoma, which is a benign growth often indistinguishable from kidney cancer on X-rays that doesn’t spread like a cancerous tumor would.

Williams also has a tumor on

his left kidney, but according to the school, doctors say there is “a good chance� that growth is the same as the one removed Sept. 19. Doctors plan to biopsy that tumor next week and won’t have to perform a second surgery if the tumor is also an oncocytoma.

Dr. Eric Wallen, a UNC professor of urology who led the surgical team during 31⠄2-hour procedure, said last week that Williams should be back in plenty of time for the start of preseason practice on Oct. 13. “We are pleased with how well Coach Williams is doing,�

Remember this a year or two from now, when a video of the final play of Monday night’s Packers-Seahawks game turns up on a blooper reel: It wasn’t all that funny watching it the first time around.

Two replacement officials, positioned perfectly on either side of the corner of the end zone, appeared to come up with two different calls.

After looking at each other, one waved both arms back and forth, either signaling a touchback or a stoppage of play. The other signaled touchdown.

If you tried to stage a photograph to symbolize the confusion that’s dogged the NFL and its games since commissioner Roger Goodell let a lockout of the regular officials spill over into the regular season, you couldn’t have done it any better.

The reaction was predictable, overwhelmingly negative, and swift. Anyone still have questions about the integrity of the game? Thought so.

Let’s put it this way: If the NFL were a hamburger chain, Goodell would have been fired on the spot.

The league’s foot-dragging in bargaining talks with the regular officials was based on the assumption the replacements would get better.

In the meantime, it threatened to fine any coach or player who suggested it was worse.

After a string of screw-ups by the officials in Sunday’s games, this one ripped the lid off.

Somehow, the mildest reaction of the night came from Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

After the Seahawks’ 14-12 win was in the books, he was asked whether he’d ever experienced a more bitter defeat. “Uh, no,� Rodgers replied and left it at that.

But why stop there? The replacement officials don’t know the rules. They can’t control the players or coaches. And both are playing them for suckers.

Just last week, the league sent around a warning against berating the officials. The coaches and players treated it like a dare.

Redskins offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan followed the officials into the tunnel in Washington after a loss, hurling curses. Steelers linebacker Larry Foote did the same to a different crew in Oakland. Patriots head coach Bill Belichick tried grabbing an official running by him when the game ended in Baltimore to get an explanation he’s waiting for still.

But more than feelings are getting hurt. In separate games, Raiders receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey was concussed and Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo could have been on helmet-to-helmet hits that weren’t called.

It was slight consolation for Matt Schaub that the Broncos’ Joe Mays was called for doing the same thing to him, because the Texans quarterback lost a chunk of his left earlobe in the vicious collision.

U.S. seeks more from Big Three at Ryder Cup MEDINAH, ILL. — No other trio of American golfers has qualified for more consecutive Ryder Cup teams than Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Jim Furyk. Collectively, they have won 146 official tournaments around the world, including 19 majors.

That only makes their Ryder Cup record look all the more inferior.

They have been the core of the U.S. team since 1997 at Valderrama, where they combined for a 3-6-1 record as the United States lost the cup. Perhaps it was a sign of what was to come.

For all their individual achievement, none has a winning record in the Ryder Cup. They have been on six teams together — Woods missed in 2008 at Valhalla while recovering from knee surgery — and the only celebration they shared was that remarkable comeback at Brookline. “I would have expected and definitely wished for a much better record than that,� Furyk said Tuesday.

It leads to a question that brings to mind the chicken and the egg.

Do they all have losing records because they are playing on losing teams? Or does the U.S keep losing because this triumvirate has losing records? “I think it’s both,� Woods said Tuesday. “In order to win cups, you have to earn points. And we certainly have not earned points. And on top of that, Phil, Jim and myself have been put out there a lot during those years. So if we’re not earning points, it’s hard to win Ryder Cups that way.�

The Americans, dressed in navy blue shirts, headed out for the first full day of practice under warm sunshine in the Chicago suburbs.

They played fourball matches among the three groups, which was evident when Bubba Watson and his pink-shafted driver drove through a dogleg on the 440-yard 11th hole and over the gallery’s head. He still played that shot (and they won the hole).

U.S. captain Davis Love III finally showed his hand — and confirmed some obvious pairings in mind — by sending out Woods and Steve Stricker, Mickelson and Keegan Bradley, Watson and Webb Simpson. Other pairings were Matt Kuchar and Dustin Johnson, Jason Dufner and Zach Johnson, and Furyk and Brandt Snedeker.

European captain Jose Maria Olazabal had Ian Poulter, Justin Rose, Luke Donald and Lee Westwood in one group; Rory McIlroy, Graeme McDowell, Sergio Garcia and Paul Lawrie in another; and Mark Kaymer, Nicolas Colsaerts, Francesco Molinari and Peter Hanson in a third.

dislodged Texans quarterback Matt Schaub’s helmet and took off a piece of his ear.

Mays will appeal the fine and suspension, a person familiar with the process told the Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the Broncos hadn’t yet notified the NFL of the decision. According to NFL rules, the appeal will be heard and decided before Sunday’s game against the Oakland Raiders. Mays drew a roughing-the-passer penalty for the third-quarter hit on Schaub, who left the field with blood flowing from his ear and missed one play before returning. Schaub threw for four touchdowns in Houston’s 31-25 win last Sunday.

NHL talks to resume Friday TORONTO — The NHL and its players’ union are to resume bargaining Friday for the first time since the lockout began, although the talks will concentrate on secondary economic issues.

Deputy commissioner Bill Daly and NHL Players’ Association special counsel Steve Fehr met Tuesday in Toronto and set up the session, which will be in New York. These will be the first formal negotiations since Sept. 12, when the players and owners exchanged proposals.

The lockout started Sept. 16, when training camps were to open.

Vegas books: $300M-plus changed hands LAS VEGAS (AP) — Las Vegas oddsmakers say $300 million or more changed hands worldwide on a controversial referee call that decided the Monday Night Football game between the Green Bay Packers and the Seattle Seahawks.

Sports book chief Jay Kornegay said Tuesday that bettors at The LVH casino registered shock, some celebration, then

anger when the outcome swung the game in favor of Seahawks bettors.

“We’ve seen regular refs blow calls. That’s always been part of the sport,” Kornegay said. “But this one was just a blatant bad call at the end of the game that decided the outcome of the game.”

The Seahawks won 1412 after referees ruled that Seattle receiver Golden Tate came down with the

ball in a pile of bodies in the end zone after a Hail Mary pass on the play’s last game.

The Glantz-Culver line for the game opened favoring the Packers by 4 1⁄2.

Had the final play been ruled an interception — as many players, analysts and fans believed was the right call — Green Bay would have won by 5 points.

The officials ruled on the field that Tate had simultaneous possession with Green Bay safety M.D. Jennings, which counts as a reception.

The NFL upheld the call on Tuesday.

“I’m not complaining, but it did feel a little dirty,” said Wesley Wong, 25, of Toronto, who said he had a combined $1,000 on the game on wagers on

Seattle and a low scoring total.

Gambling expert RJ Bell of Las Vegas-based Pregame.com said an estimated two-thirds of bets worldwide were on the Packers, with about $150 million more bet on Green Bay than Seattle.

“Due to one call by the replacement refs, the bettors lost $150 million, and the bookie won $150 million for a total swing

of $300 million on one debatably bad call,” Bell said.

Mike Colbert, head oddsmaker for Cantor Gaming, which runs seven sports books in Las Vegas and provides betting lines to 90 percent of Nevada’s casinos, said Cantor’s books took in about 20 percent more money in bets than usual for a Monday night game after a wild weekend.

OFFICIALS SIGNAL AFTER SEAHAWKS WIDE RECEIVER GOLDEN TATE pulled in what was ruled to be a last-second pass from quarterback Russell Wilson to defeat the Packers, 14-12, on Monday in Seattle.

NFL’s official ruling: wrong call, too bad NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL put its stamp of approval on the still-smoldering outcome of the Green Bay-Seattle game: Wrong call.

Right review.

Wrong team still wins.

Seahawks 14, Packers 12.

With frustration mounting among coaches, players and fans, the worst fear finally materialized: a mistake by a replacement official would decide the outcome of a game.

It came while the NFL and its regular officials, locked out since June, were in resumed talks in an attempt to resolve the impasse.

That was still a day late for the Packers.

The fiasco, which unfolded on the prominent stage of “Monday Night Football,” was deconstructed by the league Tuesday in a way that

Seattle coach: We win SEATTLE (AP) — Pete Carroll said he doesn’t care about sentiments that the Seattle Seahawks’ win over the Green Bay Packers is a tainted victory because of a disputed call on the final play of the game.

During his weekly radio appearance Tuesday morning on 710 KIROAM in Seattle, Carroll said he understands why there is so much outrage about the call that awarded Golden Tate a 24-yard touchdown reception and gave the Seahawks a 1412 win but he said it was right.

“They called it and the league backed it up and game over, we win,” Carroll said.

The Seahawks were off Tuesday, their lone day off this week, and were set to resume practice today in preparation for a road game at St. Louis.

Carroll said the call ruling it a simultaneous catch, which awards the reception to the offense, was correct, although it was unclear if Tate ever had as much possession of the ball as it appeared Green Bay defensive back M.D. Jennings did.

surely rendered little comfort for Cheeseheads.

The NFL said Seattle’s last-second touchdown pass should not have counted because Seahawks receiver Golden Tate should have been called for offensive pass interference, ending the game with Green Bay winning.

Instead, officials ruled it a touchdown, and penalties either way are not reviewable.

That left it to whether Tate and Green Bay safety M.D. Jennings both had possession of the ball. The officials said they did, but the Packers insisted Jennings had clear possession for a game-ending interception. The NFL agreed that the replay was inconclusive, upholding the touchdown and giving Seattle the victory.

Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers, normally

a soft-spoken player who didn’t say much after the loss, lashed out on his radio show Tuesday.

“First of all, I’ve got to do something that the NFL is not going to do: I have to apologize to the fans,” he said on ESPN 540-AM in Milwaukee.

Even President Barack Obama got in on the conversation Tuesday, tweeting: “NFL fans on both sides of the aisle hope the refs’ lockout is settled soon.”

The controversy began on the final play when Russell Wilson heaved a 24-yard pass into a scrum in the end zone with Seattle trailing 12-7. Tate shoved away a defender with both hands, and he and Jennings got their hands on the ball.

The officials ruled on the field that the two had simultaneous possession, which counts as a reception.

Dolphins re-sign ex-KU LB Rivera J-W Staff and Wire Reports

DAVIE, FLA. — The Miami Dolphins signed former Kansas University linebacker Mike Rivera on Tuesday, hoping to bolster an injury-depleted position on defense and special teams.

Rivera, a three-year starter and member of the 2007-2008 Orange Bowl championship team at KU, returns for a second stint with the Dolphins. He was signed by Miami in December 2010, staying until just before the start of the 2011 regular season.

Rivera played in two

games with New England earlier this season, getting cut on Sept. 19. Rivera, a 6-foot-2, 255-pound native of Shawnee, signed as an undrafted free agent with the Chicago Bears in 2009 and spent time on the practice squads of the Tennessee Titans and Green Bay Packers before coming to Miami.

The Dolphins also resigned safety Jonathan Amaya, who spent 2011 with New Orleans after playing for Miami as a rookie in 2010. The team waived tackle Ray Feinga and safety Troy Nolan to make room on the roster.

Prep guard Selden to visit for Late Night

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Wayne Selden, a 6-foot-5, 225-pound senior combo guard from Tilton (N.H.) School, will attend the seasonopening Late Night in the Phog as part of an official recruiting visit to Kansas University, Rivals.com reports.

Selden, the No. 23-rated player in the Class of 2013, has a list of KU, Florida, Missouri, UCLA, Syracuse and Ohio State.

E r i c B o s s i , national basketball recruiting analyst for Rivals.com, Selden recently n a m e d Selden one of the top 10 most physical players in the class. Only Julius Randle, Andrew Harrison, Aaron Harrison and Zena Edosomwan were rated ahead of Selden, who is originally from Roxbury, Mass.

“Checking in at nearly 230 pounds, Selden is built more like your typical tight end than a high

this year in our other duals and win 8-0 is a testament to her senior leadership as our captain,” Strawderman said.

The wins pleased Sadosky, who credited Dodd for “rocking her volleys” in the doubles win. In singles, Sadosky added, she kept calm when she trailed in a game and was able to come back for an 8-0 sweep.

“It sounds dominating, but Kendall’s a great player, too,” Sadosky said.

“We had some back-andforths several times, so the score didn’t tell the entire story.”

Firebirds junior Alexis Czapinski also contributed to a pair of wins at the dual. She defeated Whitney Simons, 8-0, in No. 1 singles after teaming with McReynolds to beat Schneider and Gillam, 8-3, in No. 1 doubles.

school shooting guard,” Bossi told JayhawkSlant. com. “An explosive athlete, Selden’s ability to strong arm opponents is a big advantage.”

Other seniors expected to attend the Oct. 12 Late Night in the Phog: No. 5-rated Aaron Gordon, 6-8 forward, Archibishop Mitty High, San Jose, Calif.; No. 29 Tyler Roberson, 6-8 forward, Roselle (N.J.) Catholic; and No. 43 Karviar Shepherd, 6-10 center, Dallas Prime Prep Academy.

Mason update: No. 131-ranked Frank Mason, a 5-11, 160-pound senior point guard from Massanutten Military Academy in Woodstock, Va., will visit KU this weekend, JayhawkSlant.com reports. Mason signed with Towson last November, but elected to attend prep school for academic reasons. He now has KU, South Carolina, Tennessee, Oklahoma State, Virginia Tech and others on his list. Mason averaged 27 points a game last season at Petersburg (Va.) High. He was region player of the year for the two-time state runner-up team.

Simons said Czapinski combines placement with power.

“For me, my favorite shot is my backhand, so when I hit those across court that goes to her forehand, because she’s a lefty,” Simons explained.

“If I hit a bad backhand, she just nails it into the corner.”

Simons found more success in No. 3 doubles earlier in the afternoon. She and Haley Ryan won via tiebreaker against Hawkins and Raye, 8-7 (7-5).

“At first we weren’t really into it and made a lot of unforced errors,” Simons said, “then we just wanted to get it over the net and be consistent so they would make errors.”

Though an LHS win would have elated Marshall, he was glad to see such a competitive dual between the Lions and their annual adversaries, the Firebirds.

“That gives me hope for the future,” he said, “and makes me proud of the team we have.”

With his hands on his knees and his head hanging in disappointment, Kansas University football coach Charlie Weis stared down at the ground and then stood back up in an attempt to move forward.

What he had just witnessed likely was something he never expected to see — at least not in a game at a crucial moment when everything was set up so perfectly.

But what he saw was a very real moment during Saturday’s 30-23 loss to Northern Illinois, and as KU quarterback Dayne Crist walked back to the sideline after missing a wide-open Kale Pick on fourth down for what could have been — and likely would have been — a game-changing touchdown, Weis kept his composure and began to think about the next defensive series.

As Crist walked past Weis on his way to the bench, there was not so much as a look exchanged between the two. No words were said, no sympathetic eyes a smilin’, nothing.

It would have been easy for Weis to pat Crist on the butt and utter some encouraging words to keep his spirits up, but we’re past that point now.

Crist missed a throw that thousands of quarterbacks would have made, and both he and Weis knew it. There’s no sugarcoating that.

As crazy as it may sound, it was that exchange that further cemented my belief that Weis is sticking with Crist because he believes he’s the best quarterback for this team, not because of some kind of blind, golden-boy loyalty as the Crist bashers suggest.

Weis is no fool. He gets that what’s happening with his quarterback is a far cry from what anyone expected — himself included. And he also understands that if the Jayhawks hope to win

and if putting Cummings or Baty out there means Weis would only have 40 percent of his playbook available, you have to wonder how comfortable that would make him.

And if the head coach isn’t comfortable, then what kind of mess do you have on your hands? mtait@ljworld.com As for what’s actually another game this season going on with Crist, right and continue taking the now it appears to be largeslow and steady steps ly mental.

they believe that having a guy like Crist steering the ship — and more importantly, giving him time to get comfortable — is still the best option for KU’s struggling offense. The question here becomes, if you’re going to lose with Crist, wouldn’t it be just as beneficial to lose with the backup who will actually be around next year? That’s a tough one to answer.

Regardless of where you stand, the ‘What’s going on with Dayne Crist?’ question has become the one topic that dominates just about every conversation about the KU football team, even though there are at least half a dozen other areas that deserve some attention.

It’s natural for fans of all kinds to have these types of reactions, and it’s certainly more understandable in this case when you consider KU’s current record. If the Jayhawks had made one or two more plays against Rice and Northern Illinois and were sitting at 3-1 instead of 1-3, I can’t imagine anyone would be calling for Crist’s head, even if he had put up the same numbers. Such is the nature of the beast, especially at the quarterback position.

The bottom line is this: Weis wants to win.

And I honestly believe that if he thought putting Cummings, Baty or even Toben Opurum at quarterback would give the Jayhawks a better chance to win, he’d do it in a second. But he doesn’t. In so many words, Weis has said that and, certainly for now, I believe it.

This is not to say Weis won’t ever make a change. If things don’t improve and Crist continues to miss throws he should make — especially in clutch situations — Weis may decide it’s time to consider someone else.

If it gets to that point, I think he will. But four games into the season is not that point.

Kansas soccer enters Top 25

Jayhawks, golfer fifth in Colorado ERIE, COLO. — Kansas University senior Chris Gilbert carded a 3-under 69 to land in fifth place on the final day of the Colorado Invitational on Tuesday at Colorado National Golf Club.

The Jayhawks posted an even-par score of 288 in the three-round tournament, good for a fifth-place tie out of 14 teams.

“We’re getting better,” Kansas coach Jamie Bermel said. “We’ve progressed over the course of three weeks. We’re making less mistakes. We’re certainly not where we want to be, but the guys are making progress, so that part of it is encouraging.”

BISHOP SEABURY’S SARAH MCDERMOTT LOOKS TO SPIKE over University Academy’s Ke’Auna Schiele during the second set on Tuesday at Bishop Seabury Academy. McDermott had 10 kills and nine assists as the Seahawks won, 3-0.

Gilbert, who sat in a tie for ninth place after Monday’s round, sank three birdies in his first five holes on Tuesday but made par on the final 13.

“It was a hot start, so I was thinking a lot lower number,” Gilbert said. “I stayed patient, but I just couldn’t get the putts to fall. I was hitting it well all day, but I just couldn’t

Gilbert shot rounds of 69, 71 and 69 for a 7-under 209. Senior Alex Gutesha tied for 10th in the tournament with a 4-under score of 70-70-72. Sophomore Dylan McClure had KU’s third-best score (75-7075—220) and finished in a tie for 43rd place.

KU will face Baylor at 7 p.m. Friday in Waco, Texas, before traveling to meet TCU at 1 p.m. Sunday in Fort Worth.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

ISU hopes to avoid repeat ————

Cyclones want to build on momentum of entering Big 12 play undefeated AMES, IOWA (AP) — For the second year in a row, Iowa State enters Big 12 play with a perfect record, a week of rest and a hopeful buzz surrounding the program.

The Cyclones would sure like to avoid blowing that momentum like they did in 2011.

Iowa State (3-0) opens conference play Saturday against Texas Tech (3-0) fully aware of what transpired last fall. The Cyclones started the Big 12 at home against Texas after a bye and got blown out 37-14, the first of four straight losses that nearly ruined their season.

“A lot of players on our football team have been down this road, a lot of players that contributed to that loss and four-game losing streak,” coach Paul Rhoads said. “We can either go repeat history or we change it, write it ourselves, and I think that’s the mind-set they’re approaching the week with.”

Rhoads said he thought last week’s bye came at

“

We can either go repeat history or we change it, write it ourselves, and I think that’s the mind-set they’re approaching the week with.”

— Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads an opportune time for the Cyclones, who were able to get in a few extra practices as they prepare to tackle Rhoads’ long-stated goal of finishing above .500 in the Big 12.

The Cyclones haven’t done that since 2000, when they went 5-3 in the league. For all the good that Rhoads has done in his three-plus seasons at Iowa State, he’s never won more than three Big 12 games in a season.

ISU’s remaining schedule is daunting, too. The Cyclones have trips to No. 15 TCU, Oklahoma State and No. 12 Texas along with home games against the likes of No. 7 Kansas State, No. 16 Oklahoma and No. 9 West Virginia the day after Thanksgiving.

There are at least a few reasons to believe the Cyclones might make some noise in the Big 12.

Iowa State’s defense has been good so far, allowing just 32 total points and only 16 after the first quarter of their season-opening win over Tulsa. The Cyclones haven’t allowed a touchdown in back-to-back games for the first time since the last game of 1964 and the first one of 1965, and they’re 14th nationally with just 280 yards allowed per game.

Iowa State’s defense broke down in the Big 12 opener in 2011, and it took about a month before it recovered. That stretch was on the minds of the Cyclones players during practice last week.

“We probably didn’t have our best week of practice before taking the field against Texas, and it showed out there on the field. A bunch of mistakes,” Iowa State safety Jacques Washington said.

“I think we all practiced well on our bye week.

We’re all rested up.”

On offense, quarterback Steele Jantz is still turning over the ball too much, but he has been much better in 2012 than he was a year ago.

Jantz has completed 70 percent of his passes, up from a paltry 53 percent last season, and his yards per attempt is up a yard to 6.8. He has thrown four picks in three games, though, and last year he struggled so much against Big 12 defenses that he lost the starting job halfway through the league season.

But Jantz has a more solid grip on the starting job this fall because he’s significantly improved his accuracy and cut down somewhat on his mistakes.

Notre Dame halting series with Michigan ANN ARBOR, MICH. (AP) — Notre Dame is opting out of its series with Michigan, meaning the last scheduled game between college football’s winningest programs will take place in 2014.

A letter from Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick to Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon canceling games in 2015-2017 was obtained by the Associated Press on Tuesday through a Freedom of Information Act request.

Brandon told the AP he was handed the letter on

the field in South Bend, Ind., about an hour before Saturday night’s game.

“I put the letter in my pocket and didn’t bother to read it right away because I was focused on the game we were about to play,” Brandon said. “I read it on the way home Sunday morning.”

The Fighting Irish recently decided to move to the Atlantic Coast Conference in every sport except football and hockey, though the football team will play five games a year against league opponents, starting no later than 2015.

“While this move is a necessary precaution as we begin the process of meeting our new scheduling commitment to the ACC,” Swarbrick wrote in his letter to Brandon, “please know that Notre Dame very much values its relationship with Michigan and we look forward to working with you to ensure that our great football rivalry can continue.”

Brandon said he hopes to work with Swarbrick on another contract to extend the series.

“The ball is in their court because they’ve

triggered the three-game notice,” he said. “We’ll play them next year at Michigan Stadium for the last time in a while — it appears — and we’ll make our last scheduled trip to South Bend in 2014. There will likely be nothing on the board for five years after that. Beyond that, I don’t know what will happen.”

The Irish beat the Wolverines, 13-6, over the weekend in the latest game of a storied series that dates to 1887. They’ve played every year since 2002.

Sanchez threw his first shutout in over a year, and the Tigers caught the Chicago White Sox atop the division with a 2-0 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday night. Detroit had spent only one day in first since the start of August.

The Tigers were tied with the White Sox after beating them Sept. 2 — but quickly fell back.

National League Braves 4, Marlins 3 ATLANTA — Freddie Freeman hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning to put Atlanta back in the playoffs with a victory over Miami.

Freeman’s drive off Mike Dunn clinched at least an NL wild-card berth for the Braves, who squandered a big lead in the wild-card race with a huge collapse last September.

Longtime star Chipper Jones, who plans to retire at the end of the season, led off the ninth with a double. He moved to third on a wild pitch by Dunn and scored when Freeman’s 22nd homer easily cleared the center-field wall.

U.S. seafood catch reaches 17-year high

By Clarke Canfield Associated Press

PORTLAND, MAINE — The U.S. seafood catch reached a 17-year high last year, with all fishing regions of the country showing increases in both the volume and value of their harvests.

Commercial fishermen last year caught 10.1 billion pounds of fish and shellfish valued at a record $5.3 billion, according to a report released last Wednesday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

That’s a 23 percent increase in catch by weight and a 17 percent increase in value over 2010.

New Bedford, Mass., was the highest-valued port for the 12th straight year, due largely to its scallop fishery. Dutch Harbor, Alaska, was the No. 1 port for seafood volume for the 15th year in a row.

The increases are evidence that fish populations are rebuilding, said Sam Rauch, deputy assistant administrator for NOAA’s Fisheries Service.

Still, a number of fisheries are in trouble. The Department of Commerce has declared disasters for cod and other so-called groundfish in New England, oyster and blue crab fisheries in Mississippi, and chinook salmon in Alaska’s Yukon and Kuskokwin rivers.

“Overall nationally, the numbers are very good news,” Rauch said. “But we don’t want to miss the fact that there are parts of the industry that are or soon will be suffering economic pain.”

Alaska led all states by far in catch volume, with 5.4 billion pounds, followed by Louisiana, California, Virginia and Washington, according to the report. Alaska was also tops in the value of its catch, at $1.9 billion, followed by Massachusetts, Maine, Louisiana and Washington.

Fishermen brought 706 million pounds of product to Dutch Harbor, the leading port by volume, while New Bedford, the top port by value, had $369 million worth of seafood cross its docks.

Rebound in Gulf All nine of NOAA’s fishing regions saw the volume and value of their catches go up in 2011. The numbers nationally were boosted by sharp increases for Gulf of Mexico menhaden, Alaska pollock and Pacific hake, also known as whiting.

The catch in the Gulf of Mexico rose to its highest volume since 1999 following a 2010 fishing season that was shortened by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. In all, last year’s Gulf catch rose 55 percent to nearly 2 billion pounds, with the value rising 25 percent to $797 million.

While certain regions were bolstered by strong showings in some fisheries, other sectors didn’t fare so well.

New England, for instance, had strong lobster and scallop harvests. At the same time, fishermen who catch groundfish were having a tough time of it, with sharp cuts in quotas expected for next year because of dwindling populations.

It’s good that the overall harvest numbers are growing nationwide, but that doesn’t help groundfishermen, said Russell Sherman, 64, who fishes out of Gloucester, Mass.

Groundfish primarily live and feed close to the ocean floor and include such species as cod, haddock, flounder and sole.

Sherman, who owns a 72-foot boat, has had to spend $40,000 of his personal savings the past two years to keep his business afloat. With groundfishing in such bad shape, he’s trying his hand at catching squid for the first time, he said.

“I’m pretty much out of business in groundfishing,” he said in a phone interview from Stonington, Conn., where he was preparing to go squid fishing. “I’m nearing retirement, only I’m not retiring because I can’t afford to.”

Future projections Rauch said he expects the overall catch to continue going up in the years ahead, thanks to rebuilding fish populations and improved fisheries management.

The report also showed that Americans ate an average of 15 pounds of seafood per person in 2011, down from 15.8 pounds in 2010.

About 91 percent of the seafood consumed in the U.S. was imported, up from 86 percent in 2010.

A portion of the imported seafood, however, was caught by U.S. fishermen, exported to other countries for processing then imported back into the U.S.

Several thousand years ago, people discovered that exposing fish to intense amounts of salt and smoke was a great was of preserving the catch for later.

Today, our smoking techniques are considerably more refined, and we do it more for flavor than as a means of preservation. And that makes it a shame more people don’t think to reach for smoked fish as an effortless way to add gobs of flavor to the foods they love.

But first, a primer on smoked fish. There are two ways to smoke fish — cold and hot. Salmon, trout, haddock and mackerel are the most common choices.

In cold smoking, the fish are brined in a heavy salt solution, then exposed to cool smoke (85 F max) for up to several days, then frozen to kill parasites. Cold smoked fish — which is essentially raw — has a soft, delicate texture, an assertive saltiness and a pleasant, but not overwhelming, smoky flavor.

Hot smoked fish is more lightly brined, then smoked for a shorter time at a higher temperature (as high as 170 F), effectively cooking the fish.

Hot smoking produces a fish with a more assertive smoky flavor and a meatier texture (though the lighter brine means it isn’t as salty).

Both varieties often are seasoned, sometimes with just a bit of sugar, but also with black pepper, dill or other herbs.

As long as you keep in mind the differences in saltiness and smokiness, hot and cold smoked fish often can be used interchangeably in recipes.

Generally, neither variety should be exposed to long cooking times, especially hot smoked fish, which already is cooked.

Grocers generally sell a wide variety of both types of smoked fish. Salmon, for example, can be found with different seasonings and cuts, including thinly sliced, thick slabs and whole sides.

Smoked salmon is particularly good for making dips

Calendar says it’s casserole time Explore the wines less tippled by

By Alison Ladman Associated Press

Just as summer demands salads, fall calls for casseroles.

The combination of a chill in the air and the chaos of kids heading back to school means many families are looking for easy, warming one-pot meals that come together quickly and with little mess or fuss.

So when we created this recipe, we kept things simple. In fact, to cut down on mess and time, it is mixed right in the dish it is baked in. We also turned to that ultimate workhorse of the weeknight kitchen — the rotisserie chicken. Add a few vegetables and a creamy sauce made from pantry staples, and dinner’s on the table in no time.

Some folks may turn up their noses at using cream-of-anything soup in a casserole. But busy families have been turning to it for decades for three simple reasons — it works, it’s delicious and it’s effortless.

“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I … I took the one less traveled by. And that has made all the difference.”

Well, that might be an exaggeration. But still, it’s good advice to wine fans.

Fans going bananas for soft serve fruit

By Michelle Locke Associated Press

Pureed frozen fruit probably won’t become the next bacon, or even cupcake. It’s simply not sexy enough.

So-called soft serve fruit is, however, having a moment, recently becoming a darling of the mommy blog set, showing up on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” inspiring a new countertop kitchen appliance, even spawning a product line and small chain of shops, the New York City-based Soft Serve Fruit Co. And to be clear, we are talking about something that is precisely as it sounds — frozen fruit that is pureed until it reaches the consistency of soft serve ice cream. That’s it.

Soft serve fruit is “the answer to an ice cream lover’s cravings,” says Francesca Borgognone, Entertain Editor at The Daily Meal.com, who adds that the appeal is easy to understand. “A fraction of the calories and mixed with the same type of fixings that frozen yogurt has — it can be sweet, savory as well as an anytime-of-the-day treat.”

Fork

Kids can eat their vegetables — and like them

By J.M. Hirsch Associated Press

For two weeks this summer I made it my mission to improve my 8-year-old son’s tolerance of vegetables.

I called it “veggie boot camp.” He called it torture.

My approach was simple. Every lunch and dinner I prepared at least three vegetables. Of those, he needed to select and consume two of them.

His approach was simple, too. Every lunch and dinner he moaned and complained and ate everything else on his plate first, leaving the dreaded vegetables for last. He’d then painfully and slowly force himself to eat them, often while threatening to mutiny.

Early in the boot camp, I found that roasting just about any vegetable dramatically improved my son’s response to it. This makes sense. Roasting concentrates flavors and caramelizes the natural sugars in produce. So to help other parents with veg-averse children, here

are two of my son’s favorite (by which, of course, I mean most likely to be gagged down) roasted vegetables.

If you’d like to make both of these vegetables at once, you can roast the tomatoes at 500 F (the same temperature as the carrots) rather than use the broiler. They will take slightly longer than if you broiled them. Put them in the oven right after flipping the carrots.

Roasted Balsamic Cherry Tomatoes Don’t be put off by the amount of salt in this recipe; much of it drains off before the tomatoes are roasted. Salting the tomatoes helps draw out excess water, producing a better roasted tomato.

These tomatoes can be served on their own as a side dish, or over pasta for a simple (but delicious) sauce.

Start to finish: 30 minutes Servings: 4 2 pints cherry or grape tomatoes 2 teaspoons kosher salt

2 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper Slice the tomatoes in half, then set them in a strainer. Sprinkle the salt over the tomatoes, then gently mix. Place the strainer in the sink or over a bowl and let sit for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat the broiler. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.

Give the tomatoes a shake to discard any liquid that has accumulated in the strainer. Transfer the tomatoes to a medium bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and toss well. Transfer the tomatoes to the prepared baking sheet, arranging them in an even layer.

Broil on the center rack for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the tomatoes begin to brown and soften. Serve immediately.

Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.

In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients and toss well to coat evenly. Transfer the carrots, scraping the bowl for any liquid and seasonings, to the prepared baking sheet, arranging them in an even layer. Roast for 15 minutes, then flip them and roast for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned and tender.

St. John Church rolls out Oktoberfest on Saturday

By Sara Shepherd sshepherd@ljworld.com

The smell of cabbage wafting from the basement kitchen is a surefire sign it’s Oktoberfest time at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church.

Volunteers started cooking Monday to prepare for this weekend’s feast, where some 2,000 attendees are expected to devour 300 pounds of sauerkraut, 400 bierocks and 500 bratwursts — and those are only a few of the offerings.

“Come early,” said Ellen Shobe, the church’s food committee chairwoman. “They run out every year.”

Oktoberfest is planned from 4-10 p.m. Saturday outside the church, 1234 Ky.,

rain or shine. Admission is free and includes children’s activities such as a bouncehouse and face painting; food and beer will be for sale. The Ed Grisnik Polka Band starts playing at 6 p.m.

Parishioners said the annual event, now in its 16th year, was started by a former priest who hailed from the Germansettled Hays area and has become a coming together for church and community members alike.

“I can’t think of anything that builds more of community and family than getting together, preparing humongous meals together, and sharing them,” said Deanne Arensberg, Lawrence, who was chopping bacon Monday night at the church.

Some of that bacon is slotted for the sauerkraut — a sweet recipe, with apples and brown sugar — and some for the German potato salad.

Other planned menu items include Wienerschnitzel, cabbage rolls and spaetzal, a new item for St. John’s Oktoberfest.

“My favorites are the things that you can’t get every day, like schnitzel, and the bierocks, and the homemade sauerkraut,” Arensberg said.

When it comes to food, St. John may be even better known for its annual summertime Mexican Fiesta, which draws bigger crowds and raises more money for church programs.

Oktoberfest is the same idea — and represents the

cultural heritage of a different group of church members — but on a smaller scale.

“We don’t raise the money that the fiesta raises,” Shobe said. “We’re here to have fun, and if we raise a little extra, that helps.”

Among volunteers Monday was Shobe’s 17-year-old son Nate Shobe, who, in addition to other chores around the kitchen, acted as bierock taster-in-chief. The bierock count may be a few less than 400 by the time the weekend arrives.

But hey, that’s part of quality control, right?

“It’s not my fault these are delicious,” Nate said.

GERMAN FOOD 101 In addition to familiar fare such as bratwurst and hot dogs, the Oktoberfest menu includes these German specialties: Spaetzal: Soft German egg noodles, also called Spätzle Wienerschnitzel: A breaded and fried veal cutlet Cabbage Roll: Meat and rice wrapped in a cabbage leaf, cooked and topped with tomato sauce Bierock: A hot hand pie, typically filled with ground beef and cabbage Sauerkraut: Finely sliced and pickled cabbage The beer will be German, too — Warsteiner Oktoberfest, Dunkel and Pilsener, and Franziskaner Hefe-Weisse.

Perfect little pie: caramel apple empanadas

I

t’s officially fall, and never in my life have I been so happy to see it arrive. Usually I am wistful about summer’s departure, but this year I waved farewell to it with a smile and a shrug. I guess pregnancy and summer just don’t mix, and I was ready to lower my body temperature a couple of degrees and cuddle up with some comfort food.

Fall means apples. Suddenly, I find myself stufff ing apples into everything, from hollowed out squashes to pork loins.

Most recently, I stuffed them inside empanadas.

My best girl Lindsey was back in town for a week-

But since it’s fall, I had to make an apple empanada. Never one to leave well enough alone and j just make little apple pp pies, p

which would have been fantastic in their own right, I had to make a caramel apple empanada. Because everything is better with caramel.

You can make the

dough yourself, or you can just buy pie crusts, which I’ll be honest, is what we did.

These can be fried or baked, depending on your taste and diet sensibilities.

My taste says fried, but my sensibilities say baked. It’s a ridiculous inner battle.

CARTLIDGE & BROWNE 2010 Pinot Noir • California “Cherry, strawberry and rhubarb notes define the aromatics of this wine and are backed by hints of cinnamon and oregano. Bright flavors of cherry, raspberry and ripe tomato are balanced by a layer of earthy mushroom.

Delicious with a variety of meats such as lamb, veal and venison and particularly splendid with salmon. Pinot Noir is widely considered one of the best companions to food because of its good acidity and body complementing rather than overpowering food.”

Dear Annie: My parents divorced years ago.

Dad waited patiently while Mom chose between him and another man. In the end, Mom chose the other guy, but it didn’t work out. Meanwhile, my dad married a lovely, classy and extremely wealthy woman.

They have found true happiness, while my mom has become bitter and jealous.

It’s difficult to be around my mother when she constantly complains about Dad, saying he has money and she doesn’t.

My grandmother had to take over most of Mom’s financial responsibilities.

Here’s the problem: My sister is getting married. She is paying for part of the wedding but asked our parents to help with the rest. Dad gave her a check for his share.

Mom, on the other hand, is unable to pay, and Grandma says she is not covering the cost. This

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

was a surprise because Grandma has always said “yes” in the past. Mom doesn’t want Dad to know she can’t afford it, and he probably assumes Grandma will pay.

Mom has reached a new level of complaining.

She cries and is frequently sick. She worries that Dad’s wife will look prettier at the wedding and that her future son-in-law will like my stepmother better. She has asked to borrow money from me and is thinking of taking out a loan.

I want to help, but I

Show likely to alienate The notion of wacky people living next door is almost as old as the sitcom genre. “The Neighbors” (8:30 p.m., ABC) asks us to imagine a family of brash New Yorkers who move to a sterile New Jersey development by a golf course, only to discover that it’s populated entirely by a cultlike clutch of exiled aliens. The aliens have lived there 10 years, awaiting word from their home planet.

The human newcomers are played as broad stereotypes.

Marty Weaver (Lenny Venito) could be Ralph Kramden’s TV grandson. His long-suffering wife, Debbie (Jami Gertz), has the most emotional range here, and that’s not saying much. She goes from bossy semi-feminist to “I love you, you lovable lug” affection for her hapless hubby. The kids consist of a petulant teenage girl, a rude video-game playing boy and a cute younger sister who just tags along.

The strange neighbors are green people in human form who speak in stilted English accents and have the overly polite deference of 19th-century Amish.

They’ve also adopted names from the sports pages. Group leader Larry Bird (Simon Templeman) is married to Jackie Joyner-Kersee (Toks Olagundoye), and they have two boys, Dick Butkus and Reggie Jackson. It’s funny for about a minute.

The whole enterprise is too arch for its own good and reminds us of what a Tim Burton movie might be like without the strange humanity of Johnny Depp. (And lately, even that’s been in short supply.) It also shows why the Coneheads on “Saturday Night Live” were much funnier in a five-minute sketch than a fulllength movie. Airing right after “Modern Family” and that show’s remarkable talent for fleshing out comic stereotypes, “Neighbors” is almost certain to alienate viewers.

The new comedy “Guys With Kids” (7:30 p.m., NBC) debuts in its regular time slot tonight. The good news: One of the generic husbands is married to a character played by Jamie-Lynn Sigler of “The Sopranos.” The bad news is she’s about as likely to save this stinker as Drea de Matteo was to salvage the wreckage of NBC’s “Joey” in the mid-2000s.

Tonight’s network debuts

Mike plays favorites on “The Middle” (7 p.m., ABC).

An escaped con leaves his mark on “Criminal Minds” (8 p.m., CBS).

Cragen’s crisis and a new captain (Adam Baldwin) raise tensions on “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” (8 p.m., NBC).

Gloria doesn’t know how to break the big news on “Modern Family” (8 p.m., ABC).

Russell’s granddaughter goes missing on “CSI” (9 p.m., CBS).

BIRTHDAYS

Actress Mary Beth Hurt is 66.

Singer Olivia Newton-John is 64.

Rock singer-musician Cesar Rosas (Los Lobos) is 58. Actress Melissa Sue Anderson is 50. Singer Shawn Stockman (Boyz II Men) is 40. Tennis player Serena Williams is 31.

think part of this is her own fault. She needs to grow up and live within her means instead of trying to keep up with Dad and his wife. But telling her that would crush her.

What can I do? — Worried Dear Worried: There’s only so much reassurance you can give Mom if she cannot overcome her insecurities. That might require professional help.

But there is no reason to protect your sister from the difficulties she has caused. Tell her the wedding is a financial burden and ask her to cut back on her expenses or find another way to pay for the extra cost.

Dear Annie: My husband enjoyed sex when we had it, but I initiated every session. After five years, I started to feel as if I was begging for it and asked him to take the lead some of the time. He didn’t.

For three more years,

I told him it would thrill me to be approached by him, treated to dinner or have a little gift placed on my pillow — the kind of things I did for him. I finally convinced him to go for counseling, but my husband wouldn’t do any of the things the counselor suggested. In desperation, I told him that if he wanted sex, he would have to initiate it.

That was seven years ago, and we haven’t been intimate since. I can’t divorce him because of my own physical problems.

He says he loves me, but he’s not willing to do anything for me. Any suggestions? — Another Sad Wife Dear Sad: Other than making sure your husband has a thorough checkup, you might consider counseling for yourself. While you cannot force your husband to change, you can work on your own happiness. Our condolences.

You are in your element, though it is clear that someone else does not realize it. You might want to discuss a matter involving a friend at a distance; perhaps it is time for a trip. Tonight: Do some shopping you have putting off.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Know when to back off and say “enough.” You have experienced a lot of frustration lately. Tonight: Chill with friends.
