State faces doctor shortage Kansas struggles to keep up with need as coverage expands.

TOPEKA (AP) — Efforts to maintain the availability of a good ol’ country doctor began more than a half-century ago when the University of Kansas chancellor sought to lure new physicians through a new tuition program.

Those techniques are getting more creative as Kansas struggles like much of the nation to keep up with the demand for providers as health care cov-

erage expands. Nationally, an Associated Press review finds doctors are preparing for backlogs, and patients could find it difficult to get quick appointments.

Attempts to address the shortage have taken on increased urgency ahead of the law’s full implementation on Jan. 1.

“The demand for primary care is going to far exceed supply,” said Susan Page, CEO of the Pratt Regional Medical Center in south-central Kansas.

A report by the American Association of Medical Colleges found that as of 2010 there were 2,387 active primary care physicians in Kansas, or 84 doc-

tors for every 100,000 residents.

Further, the report found that 26 percent of the physicians were over age 60.

Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback and his fellow GOP legislators have refused a federal offer to pay for expanding Medicaid coverage for low-income and disabled residents. Instead, the state privatized the system, rebranding it as KanCare in 2012 to blunt the growth in costs of providing services to 380,000 residents. Expanding Medicaid would add as many as 240,000 to the KanCare system by some estimates.

However, higher education spending cuts over the next

two years could stymie Kansas’ efforts to boost the number of new providers to keep up with existing demands.

The Kansas Board of Regents approved tuition increases on Wednesday for the coming year to offset the reductions. Without state support for the University of Kansas medical school many students could get priced out of the market, said Regent Dan Lykins of Topeka. Estimates are the cuts could cost the state 30 students in training.

“These are all students — a good chance — who would have stayed in Kansas. We’re not See Physicians, Page A5

About 30 people, including University of Kansas Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, attended a reception Saturday at The Golf Club at Southwind to celebrate the beginning of a new western Kansas master of social work program.

Made possible through a collaboration between Fort Hays State University and KU, in cooperation with Garden City Community College, the partnerships will allow students in western and southwest Kansas to complete the KU master of social work degree, either by attending classes at FHSU or GCCC. The goal is to address a crucial need for licensed social workers in southwest and western Kansas.

“Currently, there are about 4,000 social workers statewide in Kansas,” Gray-Little said. “But less than 1 percent of those live west of Wichita.”

Gray-Little said that dramatic shortfall is a main reason KU wanted to expand its nationally ranked master of social work program to address the shortage of credentialed social workers.

“Today is an exciting day for us, the university, and the school of social welfare, and for our partners here in Garden City and at Fort Hays State,” she said. “This is an area in particular need of social workers. Social workers play such an important role in See Social work, Page A5

Officer, retired K-9 dog, forge tight bond

By ANGIE HAFLICH

ahaflich@gctelegram.com

Despite having a tight bond, not many police officers desire to bring their partners home to live with them after they retire.

But in Garden City Police Officer David Smith’s case, that’s exactly what he’s doing.

“I made my desire known that when they retired him, I’d like to have him, and, of course, that it was mutually agreeable with my wife,” Smith said.

Smith’s partner, Arco, retired as a K-9 dog from the Garden City Police Department on Tuesday, after working alongside Smith, his fourth handler, since June 2012.

“My wife grew attached to him. She loves him. She was glad we were able to get him when he retired,” Smith said. “And as a handler, you bond with the dog.”

Arco, a Belgian Malinois, was with Smith 24 hours a day, seven

days a week, so when off duty, he was already living at Smith and his wife Deanne’s residence.

“He went home with me at night and came to work with me.

K-9 officers are on call, and if a search warrant happens during our off hours and they need a K-9, they’ll call us. If a patrol officer needs a K-9, they’ll call it in. That’s why we take the dog home with us, so we can respond directly from home to the area where the dog is needed, without having to go pick the dog up,” Smith said.

Handling dogs didn’t come naturally to Smith at first.

“I started working with the K-9 program before I was a han-

Garden City police officer David Smith poses with his K-9 dog Arco, a Belgian Malinois.

Arco recently was retired from the police force and Smith, who has been his handler, is now his owner.

Smith has been with the GCPD since 2001, and he has been Arco’s handler for about a year.

dler, as a K-9 decoy, and that took a lot for me to get over because as a kid, I was bit in the leg by a German shepherd. So to actually stand out there and intentionally let the dog bite me was a fear I had to overcome,” he said. “I got comfortable with it. I became familiar with what the K-9 did, what the handler did to a certain degree, and at that point, it became something I thought I’d like to do.”

Smith has been with the GCPD since 2001 and has been a K-9 handler for the past three years. Arco was developing some eye issues in low light and darkness, so it was decided to retire him.

“Typically, the department looks at a dog’s characteristics and health issues at about 8 years old, so he was getting pretty close to being looked at anyway,” he said.

Associated Press

A TV screen shows a news report of Edward Snowden, a former CIA employee who leaked top-secret documents about sweeping U.S. surveillance programs, at a shopping mall in Hong Kong Sunday.

WikiLeaks: Snowden going to Ecuador to seek asylum WASHINGTON (AP) — Admitted leaker Edward Snowden took flight Sunday in evasion of U.S. authorities, seeking asylum in Ecuador and leaving the Obama administration scrambling to determine its next step in what became a game of diplomatic cat-and-mouse.

The former National Security Agency contractor and CIA technician fled Hong Kong and arrived at the Moscow airport, where he planned to spend the night before boarding an Aeroflot flight to Cuba.

Ecuador’s Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino said his government received an asylum request from Snowden, and the anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks said it would help him.

“He goes to the very countries that have, at best, very tense relationships with the United States,” said Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, RFla., adding that she feared Snowden would trade more U.S. secrets for asylum. “This is not going to play out well for the national security interests of the United States.”

The move left the U.S. with limited options as Snowden’s itinerary took him on a tour of what many see as antiAmerican capitals.

Ecuador in particular has rejected the United States’ previous efforts at cooperation, and has been helping WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, avoid prosecution by allowing him to stay at its embassy in London.

Snowden helped

The Guardian and The Washington Post disclose U.S. surveillance programs that collect vast amounts of phone records and online data in the name of foreign intelligence, but often sweep up information on American citizens.

Officials have the ability to collect phone and Internet information broadly but need a warrant to examine specific cases where they believe terrorism is involved.

Snowden had been in hiding for several weeks in Hong Kong, a former British colony with a high degree of autonomy from mainland China.

The United States formally sought Snowden’s extradition from Hong Kong but was rebuffed; Hong Kong officials said the U.S. request did not fully comply with their laws.

TOPEKA (AP) — Higher education officials in Kansas argue that public universities and colleges are crucial to economic growth but still will see their state funding shrink because many members of the Republican-dominated Legislature believe income tax cuts will be a bigger engine of prosperity.

State Board of Regents members worry that funding reductions will hinder their efforts to improve academic programs and additional doctors, nurses, engineers and professionals.

Last week, the board raised tuition at state universities, and members declared that the increases were higher than they wanted because of legislators’ actions.

But Kansas’ higher education system operates in the broader political context created by Republican Gov. Sam Brownback’s desire to eventually eliminate personal income taxes.

He and his allies argue that phasing out such taxes will free up capital, spur investment, create jobs and permanently boost the state’s economy.

Brownback balanced his push

for additional cuts in income tax rates this year with proposals to keep state funding for higher education flat for the next two years. But Republican majorities in both chambers demonstrated that they consider lower income taxes more important than public universities and colleges to promoting economic growth.

“They’re not the main factor in economic growth in this state,” said Senate Majority Leader Terry Bruce, a conservative Hutchinson Republican. “There’s the priority of the Kansas Legislature over the last couple of years, to focus on tax policy to create a better business environment to create growth, as opposed to investing in, or spending money on, the regents system.”

The cuts approved by legislators total about $44 million over the next two fiscal years, beginning in July. For each of those years, state funding will be about 3 percent less than it is under the current budget — about $754 million instead of the current $776

million, according to the regents.

The bulk of the reductions will come from universities’ budgets.

Brownback’s proposals for flat funding meshed with the tax policies he’s advocated over the past two years, which stand to save Kansans a total of $4.1 billion through June 2018.

The regents and other top higher education officials have been careful not to publicly criticize efforts to position Kansas to phase out personal income taxes.

They supported Brownback’s proposals for flat state funding, rather than advocating for increases.

“I don’t think that the two are necessarily in conflict with one another,” said incoming regents Chairman Fred Logan, of Leawood, a former Kansas Republican Party chairman. “I think you can have economic growth and tax cuts, but I don’t think you can have economic growth and cut the budgets of higher education.”

The regents argue that higher education improves a worker’s potential earnings but also that university research fuels economic innovation and growth.

Regent Kenny Wilk, of

Lansing, a former Republican in the Kansas House who served as chairman of both its Taxation and Appropriations committees, acknowledged that the board may need to be more aggressive about presenting its case. The board’s goal is for 60 percent of the state’s population to have a university or community college degree or technical college certification by 2020, compared to the current figure of about 50 percent.

“The whole strategy has been based upon a stable funding stream,” he said.

Fort Hays State University President Ed Hammond said tax cuts can stimulate the economy, but businesses need trained workers to expand or come to Kansas, making a strong higher education system crucial.

“It’s like the farmer who goes out and plants wheat and fertilizes it and never harvests it,” he said. “The circle has to be completed if it’s going to be successful.”

Wilk said the regents “own” some responsibility for this year’s funding reductions because, “We need to get ahead of the message.”

Ham radio makes its mark on Earth — and space

By SCOTT AUST

saust@gctelegram.com

Gusty winds caused local ham radio operators to cancel their part of an annual exercise over the weekend, one that is celebrated by amateur radio enthusiasts across the United States and Canada.

Dale Urban, a member of Sandhills Amateur Radio Club of Western Kansas, said every year on the fourth weekend of June, ham radio operators participate in a Field Day, sponsored by the American Radio Relay League, the national association for amateur radio in the U.S. During the exercise, area ham radio enthusiasts get together with their radios, emergency generators and portable antennas and operate for a 24-hour period.

“It becomes kind of a contest to see who can make the most contacts with other stations doing the same thing over the weekend,” Urban said. “The idea is to simulate if all other com-

munications were wiped out in a disaster, or that sort of thing, we could at least use (ham radio) to get the word out and communicate until other types of communication get running again.”

Amateur radio operators work in several different modes, including Morse code, voice and a variety of digital loads, Urban said.

The local club has 20 to 25 members throughout the area, including Garden City, Tribune, Scott City and Dighton.

Urban got started in ham radio in 1989 because of a general interest in radio and how radios work.

“As a kid, I listened to a lot of AM and FM radio, and I was intrigued by how radios worked, so I would tear them apart. Later on, after several years, I got into amateur radio,” he said. “Today, a lot of stuff is computerized. A lot of stuff we do interfaces computers with radios.”

Like any hobby, the equipment and cost varies, depending on how involved a person

becomes. Urban said some things, like antennas, a person can make themselves, and that certain types of VHF/UHF radios are available today for less than $100.

“You can get started pretty easy. There are a lot of guys out there — we call them Elmers — that will kind of take new guys under their wing and teach them what they know. We’ve all relied on them Elmers quite a bit,” he said.

It’s the variety of amateur radio that Urban enjoys. If you get tired of one facet, you can move on to another, he said.

Some enthusiasts like to bounce signals off satellites to send to other operators hundreds or thousands of miles away. Others work with digital television signals and transmit pictures, or operate using a variety of other digital signals.

Urban said even the International Space Station has a ham radio station on board that astronauts sometimes use to communicate with ham oper-

ators, or even school children, during certain education events.

“It comes around about every 90 minutes and lasts about 10 minutes, depending on what orbit they have. Some passes are better than others,” he said.

Even Morse code, commonly used for trains and ships of the early 1900s, is used quite extensively by ham operators, Urban said.

“There are guys who still like to use it to this day. A lot of them are good enough at it that they can send 30 to 40 words a minute. It’s like another language to them, and it’s pretty interesting to watch,” he said.

Becoming a ham radio operator requires classes and licensing. Urban said there are three levels of licenses: technician, general and extra.

Those interested in learning more about ham radio should go to the national organization’s website at www.arrl.org. People also may contact Urban at 2720311 for more information about the local club.

While the 2013 Kansas wheat harvest took a long time to get started, it didn’t take long for it to reach northern Kansas, with activity reported as far north as Hays in northwest Kansas and Beloit in north-central Kansas, according to the Kansas Harvest Report. A thunderstorm Sunday morning in east-central Kansas kept many farmers in that region out of the harvest field Sunday.

The harvest report is provided by the Kansas Wheat Commission, Kansas Association of Wheat Growers and sponsors Kansas City Board of Trade and the Kansas Grain & Feed Association.

Kansas Wheat Commissioner Rich Randall found a field of summer-fallow wheat dry

enough to harvest near Scott City on Saturday. Grain averaged 11 percent moisture; test weight is 58 pounds per bushel. The field averaged about 25 bushels per acre. Continuous wheat fields are expected to yield much less, Randall said. By Tuesday, he expects the area harvest to be in full swing.

Three days into the harvest in the Bazine area, harvest is about 20 percent complete, according to Brandy Feltman at the Co-op Grain and Supply there. With test weights averaging about 59 pounds per bushel and protein averaging about 13, farmers report the crop is performing a bit better than expected, although they don’t have any yield data yet.

In Pawnee and Stafford counties, harvest is about 25 percent

complete, according to Kim Barnes at the Pawnee County Coop. Test weight and moisture at the cooperative’s four locations in Larned, Garfield, Dartmouth and Macksville averages about 60 pounds per bushels and 12 percent moisture. No protein levels or yield estimates are available.

Frost and drought hurt the crop, and some farmers are disappointed in yield.

Others are pleasantly surprised at the crop’s ability to withstand the stress.

Harvest has reached the Beloit area in north-central Kansas, reports Alan Tillberg, manager of the Farmway Co-op elevator there. Farmers began cutting wheat south of town on Friday.

Early results are 11.5 moisture, 61-pound test weight average and yields ranging from 40

to 56 bushels per acre. Tillberg expects the harvest average to be about 40 bushels per acre. Some farmers report light freeze damage in isolated wheat fields in the area, and hail storms damaged the crop west and northeast of Beloit.

Jim Michael, KAWG director from McCune, says wheat harvest had progressed to northern Crawford County on Sunday.

Yields for both soft and hard winter wheat range from 50 to 70 bushels per acre, and test weights are right at the 60-poundper-bushel benchmark. The crop quality is not expected to be as high this year as in past years, due to more late-season rains than normal, and the crop is slow to dry down. The area has more wheat this year than in the past several years, Michael said.

Another setback for Kobach P

Home boost Program funding welcome amid shortage of housing.

A

program designed to encourage new housing has helped spur progress.

Garden City was among communities in Kansas to benefit recently from a grant issued through the Kansas Moderate Income Housing Program.

Administered by the Kansas Housing Resources Corp. (KHRC), the program provides local What more could Garden governments City do to encourage home with fundconstruction? Add your ing to use as comments at the end of the incentives online version of this editorial at that encourGCTelegram.com/opinion. age home construction.

Grants may go toward such new infrastructure as streets, water, sewer and other utilities.

A $300,000 grant received locally aided in plans for Pioneer Road Estates, a housing complex of 17 single-family homes and 13 duplex units on 11 acres near Garden City High School.

Kansas communities with less than 60,000 population may apply for grants from the program, now in its second year.

The program’s first year saw fierce competition, with 32 applications from throughout Kansas. Garden City was among eight communities selected to share in the available state funding.

Challenges of a severe budget crunch brought on by a massive income-tax-cut plan didn’t keep the state from allocating $2 million for the program this year.

Awards are capped at $400,000, and only cities and counties may apply.

While it’s likely Garden City won’t be in line for another grant right away, a project elsewhere in Finney County — and Holcomb in particular — would be welcome.

Local and area communities know all too well the challenge of trying to bring new businesses and workers to town with insufficient housing. Newcomers need choices in short-term or permanent family residences, and they’re too few in number here.

Those who would criticize the use of state-funded incentives locally should know the dollars only would go elsewhere in Kansas. If such grants do indeed help make construction projects more feasible for developers who otherwise haven’t been clamoring to build, they’re a worthwhile investment.

Seeing the local Pioneer Road Estates project receive a financial boost as a way to encourage construction activity at a time too little has happened on that front was a welcome development — and, hopefully, just the first in a series of such ventures to come in a county in desperate need of new and affordable housing.

Honest look at Obama’s victory I

have long loved Jonathan Alter’s work ever since I discovered it in Newsweek 20 years ago. Right now, it all adds up in his new book, “The Center Holds: Obama and His Enemies,” a very calm example of a virtuoso making American politics, basically an infamous house of mud and usually dirty windows, into something quite clear. One taken by reality will be fascinated by how clearly Alter recognizes the shortcomings and the victories of the 2012 Obama campaign and the administration before and after the election.

Alter also recognizes and explains trolls, flying pigs and ideological shills. The last often combine all of the traits we see in the movements and the paw prints of our favorite monsters, from the loudmouths like Sean Hannity to militant empty suits who run silent or loud but never very deep, like Mitt Romney.

Or a truly congealed fool, at least on the intellectual level.

I mean women like Sarah Palin, the embarrassment to actual grizzlies; the rhetorical slash-and-burn actress Ann Coulter; or the charmless queen of entitlement Ann Romney. All surely bad-news blues to a serious GOP intellectual like Peggy Noonan or David Frum.

Alter has spent so much time observing players on both sides of the aisle that he knows one of the things that makes American politics fascinating is the arrival of those who were never expected. Those who no one thought could win but did because they won the support of the masses, then lost it and made a determined recovery by remaking their ability to touch the people.

Years ago, before any other writer I know, Alter predicted that the young Sen. Barack Obama was a candidate who could win, a silly

COMMENTARY Stanley Crouch King Features Syndicate

observation to many in the media who did not believe eloquence could be charismatic. After all, George W. Bush had proven one did not have to be a masterful speaker or an original thinker to win two terms; the American public was more interested in having a beer with a candidate than having a thoughtful conversation. We all saw “Joe the Plumber” and what he represented.

But Obama learned from the 2010 midterm elections what was demanded of him.

He had to rebuild a defeated party and build upon the finest ground game ever developed because it brought together technology, youthful optimism and the willingness to make personal impressions on people with phone calls and visits. Obama knew that he was down on one knee and had, as he said, taken “a shellacking.”

The president made mistakes and did not know how to get his message out effectively at first, but, with his team, he figured out how to speak candidly and effectively about American interests. Alter shows how far away from the public decorated swine like Republican Minority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell were, having the one priority of making Obama a single-term president. He reveals “how disconnected the political games in Washington were from the concerns of ordinary Americans. Their number one priority was a better life for themselves and their kids, which in turn required the politicians to work together.”

Alter goes on to say what

pushed a long, frozen piece of ice into the chest of the GOP and killed its chances of winning. “McConnell’s Senate colleagues knew that in truth neither beating Obama nor helping the economy was his true priority.” According to Alter, McConnell wanted most of all to be Senate majority leader again. To become that, all he needed was Republican victories against Democrats in Senate races. That did not happen, and choosing to become the Party of No did not work.

Nor did the impersonal robocalls and the carpetbombing of negative ads. In an impersonal era, people like to feel the human touch, and when they don’t, the party is in trouble as the White House floats away.

From Alter’s book we learn more than a bit about how Obama saw himself and saw his opposition, or tended to believe not in miracles but in the time that it takes for something to become better. Sometimes that was a stubborn, naive part of the president’s personality; at other times it was quite courageous.

Double time is not what most of us know about, but it is the essence for contemporary modern life, and for politics. It moves at high speed because of the velocity at which money can be made and fluff projected as essential information. Slower speed, however, is essential to gain understanding and a comprehensive perspective of our context.

Jonathan Alter understands that so well, and knows how to prove it with insider information so thoroughly, that “The Center Holds” is one of the best books about our befuddling American version of democracy.

Real moments for libertarian Y

ou won’t find him on any Federal Election Commission disclosure forms, but Director of National Intelligence James Clapper is the biggest in-kind donor to the incipient Rand Paul for president campaign.

Whatever its merits, the National Security Agency metadata program couldn’t be better fashioned to play into fears of the government. Is it vast? Yes. Secret? Check. Raise profound questions about privacy? Uh-huh.

This is the kind of issue Rand Paul was born and (literally) raised to raise holy hell over. The NSA leak came on the heels of revelations that the Internal Revenue Service was singling out tea-party groups for extra scrutiny, and on the heels of the Associated Press and James Rosen investigations.

Add in the gun-control fight earlier this year and Paul is nearly 4-for-4 in fights sticking up, in his view, for the first four amendments of the Bill of Rights. The only thing missing is the third, because no one has proposed quartering of troops in our homes — yet.

It is a Rand Paul moment in the GOP not just because the headlines reinforce his core critique of leviathan as too big, too unaccountable and too threatening, but because he is smart and imaginative enough to capitalize on those headlines.

Paul has that quality that can’t be learned or bought: He’s interesting. How many potential Republican presidential candidates have helped

shepherd a new verb into the English language. The hoopla around Paul’s filibuster gave us “to drone,” in the sense of “don’t drone me, bro.”

Paul taps into an American tradition of dissent not usually invoked by Republicans. At the Time magazine gala this year honoring the 100 most influential people in the world (he was one), he raised a glass to Henry David Thoreau. In his inaugural Senate address, he contrasted his Kentucky hero, the irascible abolitionist Cassius Clay, with the more conventional Kentucky political legend, the Great Compromiser, Henry Clay.

His cultural affect is different, too, a little more Utne Reader than National Review.

At a packed event at the Reagan Library, he explained: “I’m a libertarian conservative who spends most of my free time outdoors. I bike and hike and kayak, and I compost.”

It might be the first positive reference to composting in the history of that fine institution.

Not too long ago, Paul’s foreign-policy views would have been an insuperable obstacle to a serious presidential run.

No more. The evolution in the party’s foreign policy is captured in the story of the Pauls.

In 2008, Ron Paul’s noninterventionism made him a punching bag in the Republican pri-

mary debates. In 2012, it got a respectful hearing. In 2016, his son’s (less toxic) version of the same policy will be much closer to the party’s mainstream.

At least for some stretch of 2015, Rand Paul could well be the Republican front-runner, tapping into grass-roots enthusiasm on the model of Howard Dean in 2003. And it’s not inconceivable that he could go further than that famous representative of “the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party.”

Paul has a built-in online and grass-roots network of the sort it takes years to build.

In fact, it did. His father built it, and now he’s working to expand it in his extensive travels. During those years, his father welcomed into his fold cranks and haters, and one of Rand Paul’s quiet messages is that he has his father’s core convictions, without the loathsome baggage.

I’m far from a Rand Paulite. I don’t think there was ever any threat of Americans being droned sitting at cafes, nor do I think drones are the scariest invention in the history of flight. I’m not where Paul is on foreign or nationalsecurity policy, and I doubt his libertarianism has as much crossover appeal in blue states as he hopes.

But libertarianism is a significant strand on the right.

It should be represented, and represented well. By and large, Rand Paul does that.

Underestimate him at your peril.

rotests against Secretary of State Kris Kobach’s immigration agenda physically came to his doorstep recently.

A group advocating amnesty for illegal immigrants protested on Kobach’s front porch, prompting Kobach to suggest future protests could be met with a report of gunfire.

Substantively, however, Kobach suffered a much more significant blow from Washington, D.C. On Monday, the Supreme Court issued a ruling on an Arizona law near and dear to Kobach. Arizona approved Proposition 200 eight years ago, requiring prospective voters to provide citizenship documentation. Federal law only mandates that voter registrants sign an oath stating they are a citizen. Arizona’s referendum went further than the federal law, shifting the burden of proof away from the government and onto the registrant.

Kobach has made a national name for himself as the champion of hard-line illegal immigration reform. Consulting on laws like Arizona’s SB 1070, which allows law enforcement to stop people to check for immigration status, and developing Kansas laws, such as the 2011 bill requiring prospective voter registrants to show proof of citizenship just like in Arizona, Kobach personifies the immigration warrior.

The strategy may pay off for Kobach with popularity among movement conservatives, but for the second time in a year the Supreme Court has dealt his particular brand of policy a serious setback. In June 2012, the Supreme Court overturned multiple components of SB 1070 while giving Kobach a partial win by upholding the vital provision allowing police to demand proof of citizenship status. Democrats have zeroed in on these laws, publicly speaking the language of inclusion while privately betting they would fare better with more of the potentially disenfranchised electorate voting. Republicans, trumpeting fraud prevention, quietly expect to reduce participation by young, Hispanic and poorer voters and thus improve their own electoral math. With such a partisan divide on the issue, the bipartisanship of the Supreme Court’s decision is striking.

During oral arguments three months ago, Kobach contributed to the conservative magazine National Review Online, claiming a liberal bloc of four justices would vote to nullify leaving five upholding for a majority. Kobach’s prediction was drastically off. The lead author of the opinion was the bastion of high court conservatism, Antonin Scalia. The 7-2 opinion was a massive defeat for the proof-of-citizenship law, rejected by not only the most liberal member of the court but the most conservative as well.

Kobach may take comfort from the decision being mostly a reaffirmation of federal supremacy over the states. Justice Anthony Kennedy’s primary concern was that Arizona’s law was stricter than its federal counterpart. Thus the precedent decision was more the court’s partial affirmation of “Obamacare” than an extension of the SB 1070 ruling.

Kobach’s penchant for damn-the-torpedoes policy is controversial in its very nature, so it is not surprising to see many of the laws he has written or consulted on challenged.

Controversies like these are the reason courts exist. But Kobach’s laws tend to be overturned at least partially when challenged in the judiciary. If Kobach is merely engaging in symbolic politics, the defense costs for Attorney General Schmidt’s office suggest he is playing an expensive game positioning himself for either Capitol Hill or Cedar Crest.

Kobach would not tell reporters whether or not he planned on complying with the court’s decision, but did say that he believed the ruling would have a little to no effect on Kansas law. If Kobach does ignore the Supreme Court’s decision he can expect some of those same groups who have protested against him in the past to bring federal action to enforce quicker than you can say “Voting Rights Act.” With Kobach’s 0-2 record, he probably shouldn’t bet on a win any time soon.

Promise of price cut on hospital bills is in limbo WASHINGTON (AP) — Huge list prices charged by hospitals are drawing increased attention, but a federal law meant to limit what the most financially vulnerable patients can be billed doesn’t seem to be making much difference.

A provision in President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul says most hospitals must charge uninsured patients no more than what people with health insurance are billed.

The goal is to protect patients from medical bankruptcy, a problem that will not go away next year when Obama’s law expands coverage for millions.

Because the Affordable Care Act doesn’t cover everyone, many people will remain uninsured. Also, some who could sign up are expected to procrastinate even though the law requires virtually everyone to have health insurance.

Consumer groups that lobbied for a “fair pricing” provision are disappointed.

A university researcher who’s studied the issue says the government doesn’t seem to be doing much enforcement, and at least one state, Colorado, enacted a stricter rule since the federal statute passed.

Critics say the law has several problems: —It applies only to nonprofit institutions, which means about 40 percent of

Associated Press

Justin Farman poses for a portrait at his apartment in Watertown, N.Y. Farman is a cancer patient who has accumulated more than $50,000 in bills due to his illness. all community hospitals are exempted. By comparison, the Colorado law also covers for-profit hospitals.

—It lacks a clear formula for hospitals to determine which uninsured patients qualify for financial aid, and how deep a discount is reasonable. A California law spells out such a formula for that state’s hospitals.

—More than three years after Obama signed his law, the Internal Revenue Service has not issued final rules explaining how hospitals should comply with the

federal billing limits. Delay doesn’t signal a high priority.

“We still hear the same stories about patients who are being sent to (debt) collection,” said Jessica Curtis, director of the hospital accountability project at Community Catalyst, a Boston-based advocacy group that led the push for billing limitations. “It’s the same behavior that we were seeing before the passage of the Affordable Care Act.” The Obama administration responds that fair

pricing is the law of the land, and that hospitals are expected to comply even if the IRS has not finalized the rules. The agency has begun compliance reviews, a spokeswoman said.

The health law “helps to protect patients from hidden and high prices and unreasonable collection actions,” said Treasury Department spokeswoman Sabrina Siddiqui.

The American Hospital Association says it urges members to limit charges to the uninsured in line with

the federal law. But neither the administration nor the industry has statistics on how many hospitals are doing so.

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius recently took on hospital pricing policies when she released federal data that document wide disparities in what different hospitals charge for the same procedures.

Most patients never face those list prices because private insurers negotiate lower rates and government programs such as Medicare get to set what they will pay.

The burden of paying list price falls on the uninsured and people with skimpy policies. It’s unclear that the federal requirements are helping at all.

Justin Farman, a nursing student from Watertown, in upstate New York, was diagnosed with a blood cancer last fall, when he was uninsured.

Going without health insurance is a calculated risk taken by many young people starting out their careers. Farman, 26, said the $120 his employer charged monthly for premiums was too much for his budget. Besides, he was in good shape and an avid weightlifter. But months of deep tiredness and unexplained weight loss led him to consult doctors, and he was eventually diagnosed

with lymphoma.

Treatment at Upstate University Hospital in Syracuse was successful, but Farman faced more than $54,000 in medical bills, between the hospital and doctors.

“After I went into remission, the bills started to roll in,” said Farman. The hospital did not tell him that financial assistance might be available, Farman said.

He had to fend off collection agencies. “That’s not too fun,” he added.

A spokesman for Upstate said the federal fair pricing law does not appear to apply to the hospital because it is publicly owned and not incorporated as a nonprofit under federal law.

Spokesman Darryl Geddes said he could not discuss individual cases, but the hospital does not decline care to anyone based on the individual’s ability to pay.

Upstate maintains a financial assistance program that complies with state law, he added.

Part way through his treatment, Farman was able to get on Medicaid. With the help of a community agency, he also applied for assistance under New York law to help pay for his medical care during the period he was uninsured. On Friday, he received a letter saying his application had been approved and his debts would be greatly reduced.

Neighbors: GC police officer, Social work: Partnership retired K-9 dog, forge tight bond to address need in region Smith said a common misconception about K9s is that they are out to severely injure or kill, but that isn’t the case.

“A lot of people have a fear of the dog, that the dog is a killer. The dogs aren’t killers. They’re a tool that’s used to effect your job as a police officer, and obviously, they increase officer safety,” he said. “That’s why we do presentations with the dog, to educate the public that a dog is not deadly force.”

He said that K-9s are the same level of force as a baton or pepper spray.

Due to budget constraints, Arco isn’t scheduled to be replaced until 2014. Smith said he would like to continue as a dog handler.

“It’s a job that I would jump at to do again, if given the opportunity to handle another dog. I really love the K-9 program. I think it’s a very vital tool to any police department, to any community, and it’s a rewarding experience,” he said.

According to figures presented Saturday, there are 3,871 licensed masterlevel social workers or licensed specialist clinical social workers in eastern Kansas, but just 187 of each type in western Kansas.

“I’ve talked to students that I’ve had who tell me they will be the only LSCSW for three and four counties (in western Kansas),” Ed Scanlon, director of the KU MSW program, said. “It’s imperative that we increase the number of social workers west of Wichita.”

going to have them now,” Lykins said.

Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer, a plastic surgeon, said the health care law wasn’t the target of a 2011 initiative to lure residents to rural Kansas, but it has become an effective tool.

The changes target income tax breaks for counties that lost 10 percent of their population over the last decade. In 2012, further changes eliminating income taxes for certain businesses, including limited liability companies which include medical practices, helped sweeten the pot.

Shannon Cotsoradis, president and CEO of Kansas Action for Children, said such tax breaks are “stop-gap” methods at best to address shortages.

“You recycle providers in rural areas until they move on after a few years,”

she said. “It’s not a sustainable solution and it doesn’t provide stability for these residents.”

Cotsoradis said keeping young doctors in rural Kansas will be continue to be a problem with the lure of more lucrative practices and quality of life in urban areas.

The Pratt hospital, which serves patients as much as two hours away, is undergoing a $31 million expansion and renovation. Page said most patients are able to see a provider within 24 to 48 hours of seeking care, but that may be a physician’s assistant or nurse practitioner instead of a doctor.

“All of us are going to be focusing on the health of the population and keeping people well and out of the hospital,” Page said. “It’s a totally different change of thought. It’s scary. It kind of feels like you have one foot in the boat and one on

The program combines face-to-face classroom time every other Saturday on campus at Hays and Garden City with online instruction.

“By bringing this program to western Kansas, individuals now can get their associate’s degree through GCCC. They can get their bachelor’s degree through FHSU and their master’s through KU and never leave southwest Kansas. I’m extremely excited about that,” Carswell said.

During his service, Arco was what Smith referred to as a dual-purpose dog.

“They’re used in patrol work and narcotics. Arco was trained in four different kinds of narcotics: cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and marijuana,” Smith said.

During his service at the GCPD, Arco aided in the seizure of $20,000 in narcotics and about $4,600 in drug money.

“Several of those involved a search warrant being conducted, and we went into a residence or a business and he was sent on a search of the residence or business and indicated on drugs. That also consists of sniffing vehicles where he indicated on drugs and drugs were found. They have a very, very keen sense of smell,” Smith said.

In addition to his narcotics sensing skills, Arco’s other purpose was patrol, helping with the tracking and apprehension of sus-

pects, and clearing buildings prior to officers entering a potentially dangerous situation.

When K-9s track suspects, Smith said it isn’t their sense of smell that aids them in locating a suspect.

“A lot of people think that the dog is tracking the odor of the suspect, but they’re actually tracking ground disturbance,” Smith said. “Arco and I have had several successful tracks. For instance, we had a track where an officer was conducting a traffic stop out near Walmart and a suspect got out of the vehicle near the grocery door, ran into Walmart and ran out the tire center and ran west over the bypass. We determined where he exited the store at, and I put my dog on a track and we tracked the suspect from the exit of the tire center, across the bypass, up the hill, past the apartments on Fair Street, to the east parking lot of the Best Value Inn.”

You don’t owe anybody anything Sound off: Topsy-turvy coffee Dear Annie: My husband and I both work 18-hour days at a hospital.

When we get home, we are exhausted. Since our schedules are irregular, however, our siblings seem to think it means we are always available for free babysitting.

My husband’s sister (a stay-at-home mom) is forever dropping off her toddler, saying she needs to “de-stress.” She never calls ahead. We’ve tried locking the door, but she has a key.

My brother has dropped off his young sons multiple times without warning and with no indication of when he’d be back. He stopped when I told him I was going to start charging him $12.50 an hour.

The last straw was when my oldest brother’s wife arrived one weekend in a van with seven little girls and stated that these kids were staying overnight with us because she and her girlfriend were going to a spa.

I was just getting off a 24hour shift, and I told her politely that since she hadn’t checked with me beforehand, she’d have to make other arrangements because I was too exhausted to care for her girls and those of her friend. She became angry and told my nieces that I don’t love them. Her girlfriend, whom I had never met, screamed at me from the passenger window. After they left, I got nasty phone calls from my brother and parents. The friend sent me an itemized bill and asked that I reimburse her for the spa trip they missed.

Instead of responding,

ANNIE’S MAILBOX KATHY MITCHELL MARCY SUGAR

my husband and I sent our family members an email outlining that we love them and our nieces and nephews, but we would no longer be available for babysitting unless it was an emergency. We apologized for being rude or for causing them any trouble. The email was much kinder and more polite than they deserved, but we hoped it would allow us to start over.

It was not received well.

Currently, the only person speaking to us is my fatherin-law. We considered moving in order to have boundaries, but I resent being forced out of a house I love.

I miss my family. What can we do? — Not the Nanny Dear Nanny: What colossal nerve. It seems that those who take the most advantage are the same ones who are most aggrieved when they don’t get their way.

You are related to a bunch of bullies. You don’t owe the girlfriend any money, and you don’t owe your family members an apology. You have outlined your parameters, and they prefer to throw tantrums in an effort to manipulate you. If you want a relationship, fine. Continue to stay in touch. Perhaps they will come around in time, but don’t expect much. And change your locks.

Dear Annie: My wife and I received many gift cards to restaurants as wedding presents last year. We haven’t used them because we are concerned about etiquette.

When we use one of the cards, do we need to invite the person who gave us the card to join us at the restaurant? If so, do we need to cover the cost of their meal?

We don’t want to be rude.

— Still Newlyweds Dear Newlyweds: You do not need to invite the gift-giver to join you at the restaurant. You wouldn’t invite the gift-giver to join you every time you use a place setting or your new mixer, would you? The gift cards are the same. We do recommend, however, that you check to be certain the cards haven’t expired.

Dear Annie: Here is a suggestion for “Suggestions Appreciated,” who doesn’t want guests bringing snow into her house. I have had repair people work in my home, and they brought along paper “booties” that cover their shoes. These are better than slippers. They keep your floors clean and allow you to avoid embarrassing guests by asking them to remove their shoes.

— Hope This Helps Annie’s Mailbox is written

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 Third St., Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.

Dear Readers: Here is my little sound off: I travel a lot and stay in different hotels and hotel/ motel chains.

Every hotel (or chain) carries a different brand of coffee, and the packages never open the same way. I was in Midland, Texas, recently doing a speech for their wonderful Meals on Wheels volunteers. The coffee packages in my hotel opened at the bottom of the package!

Am I missing something?

Things usually open at the top. Why can’t manufacturers make the packaging easy to open and easy to spot the little starting “tear”? I know this is minor, and I do love being able to have a cup or two of fresh-brewed coffee in the morning, but have mercy on us road warriors!

— Heloise

Fast facts Dear Readers: Other uses for back scratchers: • Use to reach things on

high shelves.

• Pull things from the back of a cabinet.

• Unhook strung lights.

• Reach under a bed.

• Remove leaves from gutters. — Heloise

Bread heels Dear Heloise: My family saves bread heels and uses them as hamburger buns. No one in the family likes them for sandwiches, and they usually are thrown out. Instead of wasting them, we keep them in the freezer until we’re ready to use them.

Just defrost and toast. — A Reader in New Mexico

For example, in a diabetic, keeping diabetes under the best control possible makes sense. You mentioned diet: low-fat and lowfiber diets tend to be best, since fat normally slows the emptying of the stomach and fiber is hard for the stomach to clear. Smaller, more frequent meals are better tolerated.

Many medications, such as metoclopramide, can be helpful in treating gastroparesis. In severe cases, there is a medication that has been severely restricted in the U.S., cisapride, which is very effective but unfortunately associated with serious heart rhythm problems.

Monday June 24, 2013 HAPPY BIRTHDAY The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You might find that misunderstandings and overindulgences mark the day. What you are witnessing is a case of “Monday-itis.” Treat each issue individually, and do not get caught up in others’ differences. Tonight: Run home, kick back and put your feet up.

You deserve a timeout.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Your efforts could trigger someone’s sensitive side. You can handle this emotional frenzy. Confirm what you say and hear, and make sure that everyone agrees on meeting times and places. If ever there could be a slip-up, it would be now. Tonight: Do something just for you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You might think that one idea is better than another, but soon you could change your mind again. You seem to be everywhere all at once.

You’ll find the right path, as you want to avoid creating any uproar. If you are sure about what you want, go for it. Tonight: With a close friend.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You feel one way, yet a partner could feel differently. You might be putting too much emphasis on what others expect from you. Test the waters before you make a judgment like that.

You could be projecting your thoughts rather than reflecting reality. Tonight: Listen to an offer.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Your efficiency will be tested, and the nature of the day could be determined by several unexpected decisions. Remain confident; confirm all messages and meetings. You need to be sure that everyone is on the same page. Tonight: Relax at home. Snooze a bit, if you can.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You need to know more of what is expected from you. Perhaps an unexpected comment in a meeting could point to the right direction. Your sense of humor emerges with a friend who tends to be joyful. You will gain a new perspective as a result. Tonight:

DAY IN THE STARS

BIZARRO

Jacquelline Bigar King Features

Where you want to be.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Understanding evolves to a new level if you can step back and remain uninvolved. You might be confused, as someone close to you could be sending you mixed messages. Try reiterating what you are hearing. You might not have all the answers. Tonight: Happy at home.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might want to understand exactly what is motivating you and causing so much change. Realize what is needed in order for you to change direction. Honor a possibility that comes from a new connection. Be direct in your dealings. Tonight: Talk up a storm.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You could be tired of encountering complications, yet you’re full of energy. This is a dangerous combination, because if you do not manage your frustration and find a solution, you could become volatile. It is important to express your feelings. Tonight: Reach out to a friend.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH You are more in control than it appears, as chaos swirls around you.

Continue on your chosen path, and be sure to jump over any obstacles in your way. Communication might be needed, but it could be difficult at the moment. Tonight: All smiles -- the day has ended!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You might want to find out what is motivating others. If you feel confused by what is happening, know that you are not alone. Be careful with your funds and loved ones. What they feel they are offering might not be all that valuable to you. Tonight: Togetherness works.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You are sure of what you want and where you are going. Distraction will be your middle name, if you’re not careful. Misunderstanding might happen out of the blue, so try to confirm what you are hearing. Reach out to a close friend for feedback. Tonight: Do only what you must.

Jim Claussen hits a fairway shot to the green on The Golf Club at Southwind’s No. 17 hole Saturday during the Brookover Cup matches. Claussen played on the Buffalo Dunes team.

Dunes golfers hold lead, even Brookover Cup series

By BRETT MARSHALL

bmarshall@gctelegram.com

For the first time in a decade, a team has repeated a victory in the annual Brookover Cup golf matches between players at Buffalo Dunes Golf Course and The Golf Club at Southwind.

Buffalo Dunes, riding a big home course win on Saturday afternoon in the Four-Ball (Better Ball) format in which the Dunes prevailed 15-6, then narrowly squeaked out a 21.520.5 singles match play triumph on Sunday at Southwind, to finish with a 44.5-36.5 triumph.

With the win and the first defense of the Cup since 2003, the 14-year competition now stands tied at seven wins apiece.

The annual event returned to a two-day format, but played two separate 18-hole sets of team matches on Saturday, the first being Foursomes, or alternate shot, in the morning at Southwind, followed

by Four-Ball, or best ball,

in the afternoon at Buffalo Dunes. Sunday’s singles matches were all played at Southwind.

As has been the case for much of the event’s history, home course proved to be advantageous on Saturday, as Southwind took an early 10-8 lead in the Foursomes format.

Saturday afternoon, though, proved to be the momentum builder of this year’s competition.

Day 1 was played in blustery conditions, with the wind blowing a steady 25 to 30 mph with gusts up to 40 mph. Sunday’s final day was played in relatively calm conditions, providing the players a break from the rigors of battling the gusty, hot conditions.

The Dunes held home course, but with a decisive 15-6 win, putting them in front 23-16 heading into Sunday’s final day when there was 42 points available from the 14 matches.

“We just dug ourselves too deep a grave,” said Southwind’s Grant Vollertsen, who did his

share on Sunday with a 2.5-.5 victory over Carlos Prieto. Vollertsen and his Saturday teammate, Shawn Audrain, won 2.5 of 3 points in the afternoon from Brock Walter and Sam Marlin. Walter and Marlin had bested Vollertsen and Audrain in the morning matches, 2-1.

“I didn’t play too bad, it was a pretty solid round today. Carlos and me had a good match. He played well and I had to come up with some good shots,” Vollertsen said.

Vollertsen said the team and individual match play format was something he enjoyed as a change of pace from the traditional stroke play events.

“I don’t play a whole lot of match play, so this is a good preparation for when I play in the (Kansas) Amateur next month,” Vollertsen said. “I’ve got a good schedule coming up next month (Dodge City Invitational defending champion and the See Cup, Page A12

Pro-Am returns to original format

By BRETT MARSHALL

bmarshall@gctelegram.com

For much of its 33-year history, the Southwest Kansas Pro-Am Golf Championship has been a three-day, 54-hole tournament played annually now in Garden City at The Golf Club at Southwind and Buffalo Dunes Golf Course.

That had been the traditional format until three years ago when the ProAm and its local committee entered into an agreement with the Adams Golf Pro Tour Series, turning the event into a four-day, 72-hole championship.

In the original schedule, amateur teams played on Friday and Saturday with the pros only playing the final round on Sunday, again traditionally at The Golf Club at Southwind.

When the change was implemented in 2010, the tournament had the professionals playing both courses on Wednesday and Thursday before a 36hole cut was made. On the final two days — Friday

and Saturday — amateur teams of four players each — were paired with each remaining professional.

Now, the old format is back, making it more fanfriendly and appealing for the final day.

The 34th annual 54hole championship will be played Aug. 9 to 11, again with the final round slated for Southwind on a Sunday.

“We just felt like it was time to go back to the basics and do what we do well,” said Beth Koksal, Pro-Am tournament coordinator. “More is not always better.”

The first official event for this year’s Pro-Am will be a Wednesday Ladies Pro-Am at Buffalo Dunes.

On Thursday, there will be the Corporate Shootout at The Golf Club at Southwind with a morning start.

In both 2011 and 2012, the tournament’s activities included a one-day pro-am in Ulysses.

“It was a good event, and people were happy with it,” Koksal said, “but

we’re short-staffed and you get burn-out. We just felt like it was more than what we could handle and do well with our small staff.”

In making the announcement regarding the Pro-Am changes, Koksal also indicated that the Pro-Am would induct former Buffalo Dunes golf professional Paul Parker into its Hall of Fame. Koksal also said that approximately $40,000 was donated to the St. Catherine Hospital Newborn Intensive Care Unit from the 2012 event.

The NBICU has been the principal recipient of funds from the tournament since it began in 1980.

Wimbledon spat: Williams, Sharapova trade volleys Royals rally to beat ChiSox LONDON (AP) — As her agent nodded along approvingly from a front-row seat, Serena Williams sounded contrite and composed. Wellrehearsed, too.

Williams even managed to crack herself up with a couple of jokes during her news conference at Wimbledon as the defending champion, where the primary topic was hardly her 31match winning streak or her bid for a sixth title at the All England Club or her injured sister Venus’ absence from the field.

Instead, more than half the questions at Sunday’s session revolved around themes generating the most buzz on the eve of tennis’ oldest and most prestigious Grand Slam tournament: what Williams was quoted as saying in a recent magazine article — and Maria Sharapova’s surprisingly forceful verbal swipe in reaction to that story.

“It definitely hasn’t been easy,” the No. 1-ranked Williams said about the stir created by a Rolling Stone profile posted online Tuesday. “And I feel like I really wanted to say: I apologize for everything that was said in that article.”

Williams already had issued a statement expressing regret for remarks about the 16-year-old victim in the Steubenville, Ohio, rape case.

On Sunday, Williams said she approached the No. 3-ranked Sharapova to try to smooth things over by extending an apology at a pretournament players’ party Thursday.

The back-and-forth between two of the sport’s most popular and successful women can be traced to a passage where the story’s author surmised that something critical Williams said during a telephone conversation with her sister referred to Sharapova.

But Thursday’s interaction didn’t end the matter because Sharapova delivered this broadside at her news conference Saturday: “If she wants to talk about something personal, maybe she should talk about her relationship and her boyfriend that was married and is getting a divorce and has kids.”

Given a chance to react directly to that swipe 24 hours later, Williams declined, saying: “I definitely was told of (Sharapova’s) comments. I definitely like to keep my personal life personal. I think it would be inappro-

priate for me to comment on it.”

All in all, nothing tennis related has drawn nearly as much attention in the run-up to Wimbledon. That might change Monday, when play begins and four-time major champion Sharapova is among those scheduled to be on court, facing 37th-ranked Kristina Mladenovic of France. Also on the schedule: two-time Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka, 2011 Wimbledon winner Petra Kvitova, and a matchup between up-and-coming Americans Sloane Stephens and Jamie Hampton.

The honor of the year’s first match on Centre Court goes to the defending men’s champion, Roger Federer.

“You feel very unique, clearly, because you are the one opening the court,” said Federer, who will be bidding for a record eighth Wimbledon championship. “I think it’s a big deal for, also, the players I’ve played, who got the ‘unluck’ or luck of the draw to play me in that first round.”

This time, the recipient of that “unluck” was Victor Hanescu of Romania, who’s never made it past the third round in seven previous Wimbledon appearances.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals followed up an improbable comeback with an even more unlikely win.

Their rally against the White Sox on Sunday began in the fifth inning, when substitute catcher George Kottaras and lighthitting outfielder Jarrod Dyson cracked the first back-to-back homers for the offensively challenged Royals all season.

The win happened after the White Sox had pulled back ahead, and included a couple timely hits against their ace reliever and a pair of errors that resulted in a three-run eighth inning.

The result was a 7-6 victory that allowed the Royals to avoid a threegame sweep.

“It was huge. I mean, we were on a four-game skid,” said the Royals’ David Lough, who scored one of tying run. “For us to pull

out that victory later in the game shows our resiliency.”

The White Sox had pulled ahead on a two-run double by Gordon Beckham in the seventh inning, and then brought in Jesse Crain for the eighth. He hadn’t allowed a run in 29 straight innings, but gave up consecutive singles to Mike Moustakas and Lough to start the inning.

Crain (2-2) committed the first error when he couldn’t field a sacrifice bunt by Elliot Johnson, loading the bases with nobody out. Crain managed to strike out Kottaras and Dyson to breathe easier, but then walked Alex Gordon to get Kansas City within a run.

The more costly error came moments later, when Alcides Escobar slapped a grounder toward shortstop that Alexei Ramirez allowed into left field.

Blackhawks, Bruins without stars BOSTON (AP) — Jonathan Toews watched the end of the fifth game of the Stanley Cup Final from the Blackhawks bench, unable to play after a hit to his head.

Bruins forward Patrice Bergeron was in a Chicago hospital after leaving the United Center by ambulance.

As the Stanley Cup Final approaches a sixth and potential clinching game on Monday night, the attention shifted from the players on the ice to the ones who might not make it there, including two of the top forwards and biggest stars in the series.

“It’s not the best situation for either team,” Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask said Sunday after both teams flew back to Boston. “But it’s a tough sport, and injuries happen. When you leave it all out there to help your team win, that’s all part of the game.”

Bergeron was injured in the second period of Game 5

on Saturday night, which the Blackhawks won 3-1 to take a 3-2 lead in the series. He made two brief appearances on the ice in the third period but something was obviously wrong and he was unable to complete either shift.

Toews, who won the Selke Award as the NHL’s top defensive forward — Bergeron was a finalist — missed the entire third period after a shot to the head from Bruins defenseman Johnny Boychuk.

“They’re both great players,” Chicago winger Patrick Sharp said. “I think any coach in the league, any player in the league would like to have those guys on their team. They take pride in taking faceoffs, playing well away from the puck, making their linemates better, (they’re) both big parts of the locker room.

“I can’t speak for what Boston is dealing with, with Bergeron. I know I don’t need to say much about Jonathan. I think every-

one knows what we think of him in our locker room.

Hopefully we can have him back for (Monday).”

Bergeron, who was taken to the hospital for observation, was released later Saturday night and rejoined his teammates for a team meal.

“He was crushing some food,” Bruins forward Brad Marchand said Sunday.

Bergeron was on the team flight back from Chicago.

After the Bruins’ bus arrived at the TD Garden in the afternoon, he walked without crutches or assistance to a car and was driven away.

“He’s good. He came back with us and everything so hopefully he can play,” Marchand said. “He looked really good today. He had a nice suit on, very dashing.

Obviously, he’s a big part of the team and hopefully he can play.”

The Blackhawks lost Toews after Boychuk knocked him down in the slot, making contact with

his head. Boychuk wasn’t penalized, and NHL spokesman John Dellapina said on Sunday that the league reviewed the hit and there will be no supplemental discipline.

“I think they said it was clean, wasn’t it? Then I agree with them,” Bruins coach Claude Julien said. “I’m not going to hide from that. If it wasn’t a clean hit — I’ve been a guy that supported those kind of things that we need to get out of the game.

But it was a clean hit.”

Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville alluded to the contact with the head but then said, “I’m not going to go there.”

Toews was tied with Patrick Kane for the Blackhawks’ team lead with 23 goals during the regular season. Since being reunited with Kane on Chicago’s top line in Game 4, Chicago has rallied to take the lead in the best-of-seven series. Before he was knocked out, Toews assisted on both goals.

Truex Jr. snaps 218-race losing streak SONOMA, Calif. (AP) — Martin Truex Jr. snapped a 218-race winless streak with an easy victory Sunday on the road course at Sonoma Raceway.

It was just the second win of Truex’s career, first since Dover in 2007. It put Michael Waltrip Racing in Victory Lane for the second year in a row after Clint Bowyer won here last season.

Truex worked his way to the front and used strategy to stay with the leaders. He then pulled away after the final restart and built a healthy lead of more than six seconds over Juan Pablo Montoya, who was running second until he ran out of gas on the final lap.

“I’m ecstatic. But I’m not exactly sure how that happened,” said Truex, who admitted he wasn’t pleased with his car following Friday’s practices.

“The car was just phenomenal all day long and once I was near the front and didn’t have to run the car 110 percent, it just would stay with me on

Crew chief Chris Heroy was perplexed about the shortage.

“We don’t know what happened — we were on the same strategy as (Truex),” Heroy said through a team spokeswoman. “We’re going to go back to the shop and figure it out.”

Montoya got little sympathy from Kyle Busch, who was spun

by Montoya early in the race when Montoya drove too deep into a corner and wheel-hopped over a curb.

“Awww. My heart melts for (at)jpmontoya who ran out of gas,” Busch tweeted moments after the race.

Jeff Gordon finished second a week after he was wrecked six laps into the race at Michigan, but felt like he might have had a chance to win if he had not already committed to pit seconds before a caution came out early in the race.

“I mean, I really do think we had a shot winning this race. We had a tremendous car,” Gordon said.

Amateur at Indian Hills Country Club in Mission Hills). Then I’ve got the High Plains Amateur (late August at Southwind) where I get to defend.”

Trent Specht, coming off his Men’s City Championship victory the weekend before, was paired with Dunes teammate Phil Adams in both rounds on Saturday, falling in the morning to Bob and Blake

Beymer, 2-1, but then bouncing back for a 3-0 win over Eric Larsen and Lavern Durst in the afternoon. In Sunday’s singles, Specht defeated Brick Beymer, 2-1.

Specht, heading into his final collegiate season in Iowa, will now head back for summer school and student teaching, so his summer tournament schedule for all practical purposes is over.

“This is a good way to finish up,” said Specht,

“Yesterday, we were 3-up and kinda gave it away.

They (Beymer’s) played good. In the afternoon, we were 6-under for 15 holes and played pretty good ourselves. Considering how windy it was, I was happy the way we played. Today, I was 3-under on the front.

Brick played pretty good, too, but I just really had it going today, so that felt nice.”

Bob Beymer, who began playing in the matches about five years ago and is a past Men’s City champion, said the event was something he enjoyed. This year, Beymer won two of his three matches and tied the other, one of the best marks for a Southwind golfer.

“It’s something to look forward to,” said Beymer.

“It’s fun to qualify (in the City Championship) and I enjoy this kind of competition. It’s fun. Match play gives you a chance to stay in the game and every shot is important. We didn’t get

Everybody gives their best in this, and it’s just a lot of fun.”

Montoya, who came into the weekend knowing if he didn’t win he would at least have a huge points day, dropped all the way to 34th after having to coast to the finish. He took a shortcut to skip the final turn, drifted to the finish line and parked. He then walked back to the garage, annoyed his Chip Ganassi Racing team never told him to save fuel.

“We’ve got tools to prevent things like that from happening,” Montoya said.

“I don’t know if all the fuel didn’t go,” Montoya said. “This is what we’ve been doing all year. We all work together and we’re all trying to do the best we can. Half the reason we’re 20-something in points — we’re not 20-something in points because we’re not running fast. We’re 20-something in points because we had a lot of mechanical problems and days like this we throw them away.”
