7 protected white pelicans shot in Kansas

Screen Shot 2014-09-15 at 6.11.54 AMMANKATO, Kan. (AP) — A game warden in northern Kansas is asking the public for help to find anyone connected to the shooting death of seven American white pelicans.

Jewell County game warden Mike Peterson says he found the federally protected birds shot to death in Lovewell Reservoir on Friday.

Peterson believes the birds were all killed at the same time. The pelicans are currently migrating through the reservoir, which is along the Nebraska border.

The Salina Journal reports the pelicans are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and those who shot the birds would be subject to fines and jail time.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Jewell county game warden at (620) 450-7190 or call Operation Game Thief at (877) 426-3843.

Kansas, Missouri health clinics get $9.6M for primary care services

TOPEKA — Twenty-five health centers in Missouri and 16 in Kansas have been awarded $9.6 million in federal funds to expand primary care services.

The funding is part of $295 million awarded to 1,195 health centers nationwide under the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare.

The money is to be used to hire new staff, help the clinics stay open longer and provide oral health, mental and behavioral health, pharmacy and vision services.

The Health Resources and Services Administration, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, estimates that health centers served 21.7 million patients in 2013. That translates into one out of every 15 people in the United States who rely on the clinics for primary care.

“Health centers are a key part of how the Affordable Care Act is working to improve access to care for millions of Americans,” HHS Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell said in a statement. “These funds will enable health centers to provide high-quality primary health care to more people including the newly insured, many of whom may be accessing primary care for the first time” in Missouri and Kansas.

Missouri clinics will get just over $6 million, which the Health Resources and Services Administration projects will support 81 new full-time employees and 28,327 new patients. Kansas clinics will get $3.63 million, which the agency projects will support 57 new full-time employees and 19,704 new patients.

Kansas and Missouri recipients and their funding include:

• Shawnee County, Topeka, $210,408

• Kansas Department of Health and Environment, Topeka, $211,844

• Health Partnership Clinic of Johnson County, Overland Park, $232,108

• Heartland Medical Clinic, Lawrence, $192,078

• Center for Health Wellness, Wichita, $200,014

• Gracemed Health Clinic, Wichita, $302,532

• Samuel U. Rodgers Health Center, Kansas City, Mo., $269,968

• Swope Health Services, Kansas City. Mo., $347,348

Tuesday’s exercise begins at 9 a.m. and will be located just north of Kansas 42 between two runways at the Wichita airport. It is expected to include 300 people from various emergency management agencies.

The Federal Aviation Administration requires commercial airports to practice responding to simulated disasters at least every three years.

Airport officials will provide information to the public using the Twitter handle @FlyICT and #ICTdrill.

Police: Kansas boy pinned under trailer dies

police accident emergency crashHUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) — Hutchinson police say a 4-year-old boy has died after being pinned under a flatbed trailer.

The accident was reported Sunday afternoon at a home on the city’s southeast side. Police say the trailer was not attached to a vehicle and was in the home’s front yard. They say the trailer’s ramp fell on the boy.

The child was taken to an area hospital where he later died. Police have not released his name.

They say foul play is not suspected.

Kansas efficiency taskforce to meet this week

school  classroom TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A wide range of topics will be on the table when a new Kansas commission meets to look for efficiencies within the state’s public school system.

Legislators created the K-12 Student Performance and Efficiency Commission this year. The members are meeting Thursday and Friday at the Statehouse. The Kansas Association of School Boards has obtained a list of draft recommendations prepared by Legislative staff for consideration by the commission.

One proposal calls doing away with the traditional teacher salary schedule, which ties pay to education and years of experience. The salary schedule would be replaced with a salary range that takes into account experience, education and area of expertise.

Another idea is to offer incentives to districts that enter into cooperative agreements or agree to consolidate with other school districts.

 

Broncos fend off Chiefs with goal-line stand

By ARNIE STAPLETON
AP Pro Football Writer

DENVER (AP) — It took the Denver Broncos three tries to put away the Kansas City Chiefs.

Terrance Knighton batted away Alex Smith’s fourth-and-goal pass to Dwayne Bowe with 15 seconds left, preserving the Broncos’ 24-17 win over the scrappy Chiefs on Sunday.

The Broncos (2-0) thought they had sealed the win twice earlier on the drive.

Kansas City Chiefs

Aqib Talib’s pick-6 was negated by Quanterus Smith’s hold. Then, Nate Irving’s fumble recovery following DeMarcus Ware’s sack and strip was ruled an incomplete pass after a review.

The Chiefs (0-2), without All-Pro running back Jamaal Charles for much of the game, converted 11 of 16 third-down opportunities overall. They just couldn’t capitalize in the biggest moments as the Broncos mustered two goal-line stands for the second straight week.

Peyton Manning was 21 of 26 for 242 yards and three TDs, but the Broncos had the ball for less than 10 minutes in the second half.

Smith was 26 of 42 for 255 yards, and Knile Davis ran 22 times for 79 yards and two touchdowns for Kansas City.

Charles left with an ankle injury in the first half, as did safety Eric Berry. These ailments came one week after three Chiefs suffered season-ending injuries.

Without Wes Welker for the second straight game and facing a defense that lost Pro Bowl linebacker Derrick Johnson and tackle Mike DeVito to torn Achilles tendons last week, Manning targeted his tight ends again.

He found Julius Thomas and Jacob Tamme for 4-yard TDs in the first half. Thomas became the first tight end in franchise history to catch four TD passes in the first two games.

Manning also threw a 12-yarder to Demaryius Thomas, who pinned the football on his left shoulder blade with cornerback Chris Owens draping him.

Emmanuel Sanders led the Broncos with eight catches for 108 yards, the first 100-yard game of his career.

The Broncos head to Seattle next week with a 2-0 record, if not exactly a head of steam, to face the Seahawks, who handed them a Super Bowl shellacking and then talked trash about them in the offseason.

Denver GM John Elway retooled his ground game and embarked on a defensive makeover after that 43-8 Super Bowl loss. Yet, the Broncos have been unable to salt away big leads or get off the field consistently.

They have come up big when backed up near their goal line, though.

Smith led the Chiefs on a 19-play drive that ate up 10 minutes coming out of halftime. They came up empty after getting to the Denver 4 on the strength of five third-down conversions.

An offensive holding call and linebacker Brandon Marshall’s sack dropped them back to the 19. Cairo Santos was wide right on a 37-yard field goal attempt.

Santos, who beat out incumbent veteran Ryan Succop with a strong leg in training camp, also failed to kick a touchback later in the game, and Bubba Caldwell returned it 54 yards, setting up a score.

The Chiefs got it right the next time, however, converting all three third downs on a 14-play drive that covered 90 yards and chewed up nearly eight minutes. The key was Anthony Fasano’s bobbling 22-yard grab to the Broncos 25.

Davis trotted in from 4 yards, pulling Kansas City to 21-17 with 7:11 left. He also had a 2-yard TD run in the first half.

Caldwell’s big kickoff return set up Brandon McManus’ 20-yard field goal that put Denver ahead by seven with 3:27 remaining.

Charles left after running just twice for 4 yards and catching one pass for 8 yards. Kansas City was trying to get him more involved after giving him just seven carries against Tennessee in the opener. Charles rushed for 1,287 yards a season ago, which was third most in the NFL.

Demaryius Thomas had an 80-yard TD catch negated when right tackle Chris Clark was whistled for being downfield.
