Open affadavits now right of public Based on a new Kansas law, prosecutors and judges no lon- ger can routinely withhold from the public affidavits that detail the justification for searches and arrests in the state. The change will require some adjustment by law enforce- ment and courts across the state, including those in Douglas County, but closing affidavits simply because attorneys agree it is a good idea no longer is an option. Before the law was passed, Kansas was the only state in the nation that automatically sealed these affidavits. The legisla- tion moved forward this year on the heels of a particularly egregious case in which a Leawood couple was denied access to the affidavit that led to what turned out to be an unjustified drug raid on their residence. The law requires that arrest warrants and supporting testimo- ny be made available to the public after arraignment in misde- meanor cases and after a preliminary hearing and arraignment in felony cases. Search warrant affidavits must be made avail- able to the subject of the search immediately and to the public within 14 days of the search. After a request for an affidavit is made, the court has up to 10 days to release or withhold an affidavit, which can be redacted to withhold names or informa- Honor veterans with action every day tion that could damage an investigation.

After Pearl Harbor was bombed in 1941, I started collecting and sell- ing scrap iron. Using that money, I bought a Mother Goose and Grimm • Mike Peters $25 U.S. war bond dated Dec. 23, 1942. I never cashed it and still have it. Is it worth more as a collectible than it does as a bond? A: If the bond has your name on it, you or your heirs are the only ones who can redeem it. You paid $18.75 for your $25 bond in 1942. It stopped accruing interest in 1982, but over 40 years it earned $81.20 in interest. So today it’s worth $99.95. A collector would not pay any- where near that price for the bond. If you like the way it looks, scan it in color and frame the image. Then go ahead and cash the bond. Tip: Avoid hanging your sports pennants in direct sunlight. They fade rapidly. Even indirect sunlight can fade felt. Display pennants in frames Sally Forth • Greg Howard under UV glass. Avoid thumbtacks, which leave rusty holes. Crossword • Eugene Sheffer (c) 2014 by Cowles Syndicate Inc. Bridge • Steve Becker

Famous Hand This deal occurred during the 1980 World Team Olympiad in the match between Paki- stan and the United States. At the first table, the U.S. North settled in six notrump after learning – through Key-Card Blackwood – that the oppo- nents held either an ace or the king of spades. He Zits • Jim Borgman & Jerry Scott made the slam with an overtrick, for a score of 1,470 points, after East led a spade. The outcome seemed relatively normal, but at the second table – with a Pakistani pair now hold- ing the North-South cards – there were fireworks galore:

East’s double of six spades had a convention- al meaning. Although it did not call for West to lead a specific suit, the double in effect said that if West led the right suit, East could defeat the contract. Usually, a double of a slam by a defender not on lead indicates a void – and East’s double here was based on his void in hearts. However, it was difficult for the American West to find the lead necessary to stop the slam. The bidding had not revealed that North-South together held eight very good hearts and never mentioned the suit. So West led a diamond, and South made the contract with an overtrick for a score of 2,420 points. Had West led a heart and collected 400 points, he would have been 2,820 points better off! © 2014 King Features Syndicate Inc.
