Graduates received Growing Rural Busi- nesses “entrepreneurial certificates” after nine classes taught by business instructors from the school this fall. Jim Wolff, one of several instructors at the graduation, said that Colby’s class was one the larger ones he has taught and certainly the most engaged. Wendy K. Veatch, direc- tor of outreach programming at Wichita State’s Center for Entrepreneurship, agreed. This is the fifth series of classes in the program, which has run twice a year since 2012, Veatch said, describing it as the first of its kind in the country. Wichita State in- structors drove to Colby teach a range of business topics. The school puts the pro- gram on each year in one of 48 towns it identifies as having a potential for entrepre- neurial growth.

Voters have spoken for conservatism Because ballots don’t have spaces for kudos and complaints, election results must speak for themselves. The Nov. 4 election stated a clear preference for conservative Republican leader- ship, with most Kansas voters interested in seeing what the GOP incumbents can do with more time in power in Topeka and with full control of Congress. If Gov. Sam Brownback’s vulnerability proved exaggerated, the close election confirmed the division in the state over his aggressively ideological record and his stated desire to “hit the accelerator” on tax cuts in a second term. He and his Legis- lature already have wrecked a balanced tax system, leading to credit rating downgrades, and must now rescue the state budget responsibly; job growth and administration efficiencies won’t be enough. Meeting the state’s fiscal obligations could get far harder if the Kansas Supreme Court sides with school districts and orders more funding. Either way, Brownback’s re-election means further threats to the independence and proper funding of the state judiciary. Its defenders – and it will need many more – must be ready. But if expanding Medicaid and rethinking KanCare now Shop wisely to stretch food dollar seem out of the question for Kansas, a second term will give Brownback the chance to build on his excellent progress on While many shoppers are feeling the pinch saturation advertising or gimmick packaging, of price increases, there’s a way today’s smart, which increase food costs. water use and technical education.

Bidding Quiz 1. Four hearts. Game in hearts was certain from the start, but the purpose of bidding spades before supporting hearts was to lay the groundwork for a possible slam if partner had extra values. Now that partner has rebid one notrump, indicating a minimum hand with balanced distribution, you should give up on any notion of slam and simply settle for the heart game. 2. Three notrump. Hands with 4-4-4-1 distri- bution are not ideal for notrump, but sometimes Todd the Dinosaur • Patrick Roberts you have to settle for notrump when it appears that that’s where your best chance lies. Partner has at most three spades, which makes a spade contract undesirable, and the nine-trick game in notrump seems far more promising than a pos- sible 11-trick game in a minor suit. 3. Four spades. It may turn out that there is no game in the hand – you have only 11 high-card points, and partner might have only two small spades – but it would be pusillanimous to stop below game. More often than not, partner will provide you with a hand that should give you a reasonable chance to score 10 tricks opposite this one. 4. Two hearts. After partner’s one-notrump re- Zits • Jim Borgman & Jerry Scott bid, it is very unlikely your side will have a good play for game, so you should sign off by bidding two hearts. Although partner might scramble 10 tricks with a perfect hand and a good bit of luck, it will prove best in the long run not to get pushy with hands of this type. 5. Two notrump. Partner has at most 14 points for his one-trump rebid, so you have no way of knowing whether there’s a game or not. As usual in such situations, you invite partner to go on to game, without compelling him to do so. Partner will know you have about 11 or 12 points for your two-notrump bid, and he is the one who can best judge how far to go. (c)2014 King Features Syndicate Inc.
