"These guys are over there working for your freedom." Dave and Kelly Dallas have been flying their flag since Sept.

11, 2001. Kelly Dallas, a registered nurse at Smoky Hill Family Practice and Salina Regional Health Center, lost a brother, Lt. Kent Kiepe, Festus, an F-18 fighter pilot who fought in Operation Desert Storm, in 1992 when his plane crashed in California. This war brings back the pain. "When you hear of soldiers who are hurt or dead, it hits home," she said.

"That's someone's brother, someone's father, someone's child." J.C. Jarvis, 37 Crestview, flies his flag daily, except during bad weather. The Army veteran of the Vietnam War flies it out of pride for his country and support for President Bush. "I like President Bush a whole lot," he said. "I think he's doing a marvelous job." The veteran said he has watched television footage of U.S.

troops carrying heavy loads in the desert and seeing some tough duty these days. "Wc had lighter packs in Vietnam," he said. "They have to tell the difference between friendly and unfriendly (people), just like it was in Vietnam." It's understandable why the United States is disliked by some around the globe, he said. "We're the big boys on the block," said Jarvis, 53, "and we have the greatest nation in the world. We'll give and do humanitarian things, as well as fight a war when we think it's right." Shelly and Rick Hanson, 35 Crestview, and their children Megan, 12, Allison, 8, and Marshall, 5 also fly their flag daily "It's to support our government, all the troops who keep us safe," Shelly Hanson said, BRENDA AHEARN Salina Journal Dave and Kelly Dallas, 39 Crestview, pause to reflect on the reasons they fly a U.S.

flag at their home. adding their home is politically split between Democrats and Republicans. As for the war, she said it's about this country standing up for what is right. "We pray for our troops everyday," Kelly Dallas said. "We prayed in church today for the president, for leadership.

I think we're doing the right thing. Just think how nice it will be when those Iraqi people are liberated." lieporter Tim Unruh can be readied at 823-6464, Ext. or by e-mail at nal.com. Mercy Family support men FROM PAGE Al "I came to Salina a free man," Ninemire said, praising his family, particularly the Rev. Kerry Ninemire, a priest at St.

Mary's Catholic Church, Salina, for helping him throughout the ordeal. The college student seeking a master's degree in social work and counselor lives in Wichita. "I almost surely would not be here today if not for my family," Ninemire said. "The chief goal of the criminal justice system has got to be about rehabilitation, not just retribution." Promoting state effort John Chalmers, a Trinity member and chairman of Criminal Justice and Mercy Ministries, invited the two to speak at the church. "You're looking at two persons who have converted their lives," he said.

"They believe that if you do the crime you do the time." But when the time is up and they are paroled, a better system is needed. The church's Kansas West Conference is joining in the endeavor to provide that assistance. The goal Sunday was to influence a contingent of church members and others to attend the April 5 AfterCare Action Initiative, directed by Wilkinson at St. Mark United Methodist Church, Wichita. The conference is geared at getting people involved in helping inmates prepare to regain their freedom and not fall into the sante ruts that put them behind bars, "I am very glad they brought them to us," said Rick Johnson, Assaria, a Trinity member who worked at the former St.

John's Hospital for 10 years as a chemical dependency counselor. He's currently the stewardship program officer for the Hutchinson-based Health Ministry Fund and the Kansas Area United Methodist Foundation. "It's a message that needs to be shared. If we had more treatment available for additional drug-related issues." Johnson said, "we would have less people in prison," Support for progrant Steve Thompson, 108 W. Key, said he was interested in getting involved, "I just think it's terrific." he said, "It sounds like a great ministry to run.

It's certainly well worth the time." The issue was all too familiar Helping ex-convlcts aiQust AfterCare Action Initiative, a workshop to learn about issues surrounding formerly incarcerated people as they reenter society, is planned for 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. April 5 at St. Mark United Methodist Church, 1525 N. Lorraine, Wichita.

Famiiies Against Mandatory Minimums also will give a presentation to teach people about sentencing laws and encourage them to become "citizen lobbyists." Registration fee for the workshop costs $15. To attend, send registration to AfterCare Action Initiative at the Kansas West Conference Office of the United Methodist Church. 9440 E. Boston, Wichita 67207. Or call David Wilkinson at (316) 806-7289 or the conference office 1-800-745-2350.

Salina Journal "We try at school to make interventions to help kids not make bad choices. I really think they need those interventions in prisons to help them deal with the real world when they get out" Sue Holmes Salina school nurse to Sue Holmes, 2661 Ray, a nurse at Coronado and Hageman elementary schools. "I worry about kids who don't have any structure," she said. "We try at school to make interventions to help kids not make bad choices. I really think they need those interventions in prisons to help them deal with the real world when they get out." Ninemire said he also will aid in training people to become "citizen lobbyists" to fight for better laws.

He's a paid advocate for Families Against Mandatory Minimums and organized Kansas' first FAMM chapter in Wichita. "FAMM is in favor of sentencing commissions that allow judges flexibility and judicial discretion in sentencing," Ninemire said. "We are also in favor of the most effective and efficient use of resources which is one of the reasons we support treatment instead of incarceration for drug addicts." Of those paroled U.S. prisons, 65 percent commit crimes again and return to prison. "Some need to be locked up for a long time," said Wilkinson, who will graduate in May from Wichita State University with a master's degree in anthropology.

"The of them need our help." More than half of inmates arc in prison because of their drug and alcohol addictions or drug-related crimes. About 90 percent have a history of drug abuse, and fewer than VO percent of inmates get any treatment. With recent state budget cuts, that figure will even more. Those statistics drastically improve when treatment is available. Incarceration costs about $25,000 a year, he said, while treatment would cost froiii $3,000 to $6,000 a year.

"Do the math," Ninemire said, figuring that even though treatment for drug convicts would be more expensive, it would cut the prison populei- tioii significantly and save money, Wilkinson said nearly three- fourths of state prison Inmates were not convicted for violence and 58 percent have no history of violence or a high level drug dealing. "Addiction is tied to some ner pain," Wilkinson said. "People who are addicted arc only going to treatment il they are cornered into it."
