Fuel costs threaten ranks of Kansas custom harvesters
Lawrence AP reports fuel prices push costs for custom crop harvesters as they burn 900 to 1000 gallons daily. With six month bills ranging from 88,000 to 125,000 last year, experts warn higher prices may force some harvesters to quit or switch methods, reducing crews from Oklahoma to Kansas.

Sebelius pushes plan to expand gambling for schools
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius urged two American Indian gambling compacts as a faster path to more school funding during a sixth day of the special session. Legislation to authorize non Indian casinos and slot machines stalled after Senate rejection. The compacts seek Wyandotte and Cherokee County casino complexes with $210 million and $200 million price tags, respectively, with annual casino revenue projections of $75 to $100 million.

Simple club endplay saves slam in tricky bridge deal
In a 2005 King Features Syndicate bridge puzzle, declarer ruffs East’s heart, draws trumps, and faces blocked clubs. He discards a club on dummy’s heart, then uses a dummy queen to discard and overcomes the club blockage. By leading dummy’s heart queen later, he preserves the slam despite the potential diamond king location. Tomorrow: Now you see it.

House stalemate threatens session in Kansas special meeting
On Day Six of Kansas’s 20th special session Gov. Kathleen Sebelius called lawmakers after the state Supreme Court ordered higher school funding. The Senate approved a plan to add 161 million dollars, while the House stalled over a constitutional amendment and education measures as a Friday deadline approached.

Kansas lawmakers clash over school funding constitutional amendment
Republicans argued the measure would limit court power to order specific school funding levels, but the amendment failed on final action Sunday. Democrats largely opposed, with Rep. Geraldine Flaharty dismissing any constitutional change. Rep. Kathe Decker adjourned a Monday committee on a new school finance proposal until the amendment passes. A bipartisan path remains elusive as moderates push a plan aimed at broader support.
