98902. Burial was in Terrace Heights Memorial Park. Brown can't promise he won't drive drunk FROM PAGE Al know you will," Swanson told Brown. "You deserve no leniency at all." Swanson's sister, Pamela Mitchell, said to Brown: "The next lives you take may be the lives of your own wife and children. "The law needs to protect others from you." Howard Holdsclaw father of Howard Holdsclaw, said Brown acted with a "selfish disregard for every human being" when he slipped behind the wheel of his Blazer that December night.

He said he had expected to have at least 20 more years with his son. He asked that Brown be given the maximum sentence for three reasons: to protect society, to "send a signal to people that that kind of irresponsible attack on our citizens will not be allowed," and "to punish Vincent Brown for his behavior. Certainly his behavior has been unacceptable." Richard Oborg's brother, asked Boyer to consider what sentence he would give Brown had Brown killed Boyer's mother or sister or best friend. 'I have nightmares' Brown said he was on his way to Concordia, where he was working on construction of U.S. 81, when he crashed his Blazer.

"I still have nightmares of it," he said. "This is going to haunt me for the rest of my life." He admitted to his' prior DUI convictions, and said he had an alcohol problem for which he had never sought treatment. And he said that he knew his driver's license was suspended and he had no automobile insurance when he got in his vehicle to drive. Asked by prosecutor Bruce Moore whether he could assure the court that he'd never drive drunk again, Brown said, "I am an alcoholic. I can't make that promise to nobody." 'I wish it was me' He told family members of the victims that he was sorry for his actions.

"But all the sorries in the world aren't going to bring back anyone," he said. "I wish it was me." He said he understood their pain, but that he also was in pain. He has an 11-month-old daughter and a 10-day-old son he can't see, he said. "He's the lucky one," he said of FROM PAGE A1 his son. "He doesn't even know me.

My 11-month-old was my best friend." Brown's wife, Jean Brown, sobbed when she took the stand to testify. She said Brown had been a good father and had supported not only the couple's children, but her two children from a previous marriage. She said the crash had affected everyone. "We have nightmares just like you do," she said, addressing the family members of those killed. "This was not supposed to happen." As Jean Brown sank back into her seat, Vincent Brown turned around from the defense table, leaned back and said, "I'm sorry." Harsher sentence asked Moore had argued that Brown be given a sentence harsher than that allowed under the state's sentencing guidelines, but Boyer denied the request.

Moore argued that Brown made a conscious decision to drink and drive, and that because he had attended the victim panel he knew the possible consequences of his actions. "Vincent Brown is the embodiment of all that is wrong in our approach to punishing drunk drivers," Moore said. He said repeal offenders who place others at risk by driving drunk should be punished "swiftly and surely." He asked for a sentence of up to 34 years in prison. Defense attorney Mike Brown, who is not related to his client, asked that the sentence be lighter than that prescribed by the guidelines, but Boyer rejected that argument as well. "I ask you to give justice tempered with mercy," Mike Brown said.

Mike Brown submitted letters from Brown's children, nieces and nephews, speaking about what a good father and uncle he has been. He paraphrased the philosopher Sophocles, saying there is a point at which even justice does injury. "All the money in the world will never compensate the victims' families, and the maximum sentence won't bring anyone back," Mike Brown said. Brown was sentenced to 17 years in prison, and will be eligible for good time of 3.4 years. His sentence is to be served after he completes a sentence from Sedgwick County.

Hometowns urged to be involved with hospitals "With the Medicare and Medicaid cuts, we realize more local support is going to be needed for hospitals, especially small, rural hospitals," Bartz said. Edmands said he tries to encourage community involvement. He cited the Ellsworth County Medical Facility, which Asbury manages. For the past three years, a group of local citizens appointed by county commissioners has worked on a plan to establish a county hospital. In July, commissioners approved the committee's recommendation for a $4.6 million building to replace the current multistoried hospital, which until recently was owned by a private corporation.

Citizens will vote on a bond issue to finance the project in the next three to four months. "They've done a very, very nice job." Edmands said. Bartz said the agreement between Concordia and Salina will allow for a purchase of the rural hospital by the community some- time in the future. He said trustees will have to investigate options, including donations and establishment of a taxing authority, something that would have to be approved by voters. Bartz said there already are strong ties between Concordia and Salina, which stand about 50 miles apart on U.S.

81. St. Joseph and St. John's have worked together because of their common ownership and specialists from Salina travel to Concordia for clinics. Bartz said patients at his hospital will notice little difference with a merger.

No staff reductions are planned and managers of Salina Regional Health Center have agreed to help Concordia find a new administrator. The Concordia hospital is licensed for 99 beds, but staffs for only 24 patients. "It's the changes in health care that will force us to change the way we operate," Bartz said. "What this merger does, because of CSJ's willingness, is give us time to restructure ourselves in a much better manner. It gives us some breathing room.

And it lets the community and our staff know we are in charge of our own health care." FOR YOUR INFORMATION PAGE A1 Clintons give some new Whitewater explanations wrongdoing by McDougal and asserted again that they were mostly "passive" partners in the real estate venture. President Clinton directly addressed the most serious allegation made against him in the Whitewater affair that he pressured former Arkansas municipal judge David Hale to make an improper federally backed loan to McDougal's wife. Hale, convicted of defrauding the government, has made the allegation. "I am certain I never pressured Hale or any company he owned to make any loan," Clinton wrote in his May 24,1995, response to questions put to him by attorneys hired by the federal cleanup agency to investigate Madison. The attorneys confronted the Clintons with documents they had turned up in the course of their investigation.

The papers shed substantial new light on their Arkansas business affairs and raised questions about some of the Clintons' previous explanations. For instance, the Clintons have maintained that they invested and lost about $47,000 in Whitewater and never got any profit. But the president was questioned about a $5,000 personal loan in 1979. In 1982, the Whitewater Development company paid off the loan. The documents show Clinton made at least one payment on that loan out of his own checking account for $244 in Feb.

17, 1981. On March 1,1982, McDougal wrote to Clinton, saying their Whitewater company had repaid the debt. Despite McDougal's assertion, the Clintons' own accountants have never found evidence that Clinton had put the loan proceeds into the Whitewater venture and have nev- er counted it as part of the Clin- tons' investment. When asked about the loan, Clinton wrote in his response: "I do not recall what I did with any loan proceeds I may have received, and I do not recall how the loan was repaid." In his 55-page response, the president said he could not remember or recall things more than three dozen times. Other documents provide a detailed look at Hillary Clinton's work as a private lawyer for Madison.

The thrift failed in 1989 at a cost to taxpayers of more than $60 million and has been a central focus of the Whitewater affair. Hillary Clinton has portrayed her work for Madison as minimal, saying last year that when the Rose Law Firm was placed on retainer by Madison in 1985, she was the "billing attorney" while a young associate "did all the work." In her written answers, she re- asserted, "I was not 'in charge' of the Rose Law Firm's work for Madison Guaranty in 1985-86." Even so, one billing summary from indicates that 40 percent of all the law firm's fees paid by Madison were assigned to Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton said Rose's work was mostly focused on obtaining state approval for a stock plan for Madison, saying her name appeared only three times in the documents exchanged by Rose and state regulators. Investigators asked her about numerous other documents in which she appears to be either the author or the recipient in which Rose did work on legal matters, mentioning two cases specifically. Hillary Clinton said she didn't "recall what work, if any, was done by the Rose Law Firm on these matters." But the Rose billing summary showed that fees were attributed to her for the two of the matters.
