Compromise seen on hunting, fishing fees TOPEKA — A compromise may be in the works on a plan to start making older Kansans pay for hunting and fishing licenses. The annual licenses cost $20.50 each. Kansas adopted a license exemption for people 70 and older in 1937, then dropped the age to 65 in 1971. Wildlife, Parks and Tourism Secretary Robin Jennison says the exemption will cost his department more than $1 million in the coming years as the population ages. He has proposed ending the exemption — an idea that lawmakers say is highly unpopular. But at a Senate committee hearing last week, Jennison said he’s open to alternatives, such as raising the age for free passes to 75 or creating a halfprice license for senior citizens. Repealing the exemptions requires legislative action.
Doctor to be sentenced for bogus research WICHITA — A Topeka doctor who conspired to falsify data in a 2010 clinical trial of an allergy pill on human subjects has asked a judge to spare him from prison. Wayne Spencer, 73, faces sentencing today in federal court in Topeka after pleading guilty last year to conspiracy to defraud and failing to maintain records in a clinical trial as required by the Food and Drug Administration. Sentencing for Olathe nurse Lisa Sharp is March 23. Both defendants worked for Lee Research Institute, which was paid by Schering-Plough to conduct the clinical trial on the allergy medication. Spencer was the principal investigator, and Sharp was the lead research coordinator. A presentence report recommends Spencer receive 18 to 24 months in prison, but his attorney last week filed an unopposed request for probation. The government in its plea deal has agreed to recommend probation.
Cranberry recipe yields sweet victory
Concerns raised over business tax cut plan Democrats are saying they are hearing from nationally recognized tax experts, including Kansas University law professor Martin Dickinson, that Gov. Sam Brownback’s tax cut for businesses raises serious questions. Brownback’s plan eliminates taxes on nonwage income from a sole proprietor, partner or Subchapter-S corporation, regardless of the size. “This part of the tax plan is the proverbial loophole that you can drive a Mack truck through,” said Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley, of Topeka. “We have absolutely no idea of the fiscal impact of this provision.” Brownback has said his plan will increase business activity in the state.

The Lawrence Public Library had an unusual offering to visitors Sunday afternoon: dessert. Cranberry desserts, to be exact. The recipes offered were the five finalists in the library’s Cranberry Creations contest. The library hosted the event to draw excitement for “An Evening with Susan Stamberg,” which will feature the National Public Radio personality. Stamberg is known Stamberg for her family’s cranberry relish recipe, which she shares with listeners every holiday season. The event was judged by Charles Ferruza, a food critic for the Kansas City Pitch, Megan Stuke, “Flying Fork” blogger for Lawrence. com, and Ken Warren, chef at HyVee in Topeka. There was also a “people’s choice” category. Dozens of people sampled the sweet cranberry treats, washing them down with ice-cold water. The bakers stood close by and talked about their creations. Karen Whipple, Baldwin City, made cranberry and orange

Although the scones are a favorite among of her family, she was still surprised to learn she was a contest finalist. “The recipe is 20 years in the making,” Whipple said. To her left, Emily Mueller, Lawrence, was handing out her cranberry shortbread cakes. Her dessert consisted of a sweet, yet refreshing cranberry jam sandwiched between two soft pieces of cake, which resembled sugar cookies.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK
“I make it for a friend’s birthday every year,” Mueller said. “I figured it would be perfect for this.” Next on the menu was Lynn Chase’s honey cranberry bread, a wholesome and savory dish. Judy Keller, Lawrence, used whole cranberries and an almond crust in her tart. She found her recipe in an old Martha Stewart cookbook and made a
