The Wichita Eagle from Wichita, Kansas • 35

KANSAS IN BRIEF FINAL YOUTH Drug money to pay for gun system TOPEKA Money confiscated from drug traffickers traveling Kansas highways will be used to finance a firearms identification system and additional laboratory equipment. The Kansas Highway Patrol gave the Kansas Bureau of Investigation a check for $160,000 Tuesday at a Statehouse ceremony. The donation, which is money forfeited by the court, will be matched by federal funds. DRUGFIRE is a computerized system created by the FBI to identify firearms and cartridge cases. Using the system, officials can determine whether cartridges from different crime scenes were fired from the same gun.

That will help investigators link related crimes. Chase ends in death for Olathe motorist OLATHE A high -speed chase shortly before midnight Monday ended in a fatal crash on the western edge of Olathe, the Kansas Highway Patrol said. The chase involved an Olathe police officer and a vehicle driven by Danny B. Kildow, 45, of Olathe. Kildow was sought on a number of traffic violations and refused to stop for the officer, the patrol said.

Kildow fled west on old U.S. 56 and lost control of his car. It struck some trees, slammed into an 1 embankment and overturned. Kildow was pronounced dead at the scene. KCK stops payment on big check to ex-mayor KANSAS CITY, Kan.

"We bought 25 pounds of birdseed and brought it out with us," Sam Lessley said. "I like to feed the quail and watch the little ones grow up during the season." Through the years, the Lessleys have made a lot of friends at the park, including Ted Zimmerman and his wife, who share vendor duties at the west gate with Benny Ray and his wife, Alice. "Overall, I consider we're real lucky," Sam Lessley said.

(316) 263-2233 Graves reminds Kansans the toll Holocaust took Associated Press TOPEKA Gov. Bill Graves told an audience during a Statehouse remembrance program that the Holocaust is "something we must never forget." Graves was among speakers Tuesday for the state's 13th annual Holocaust Commemoration, a memorial to the Jews and others who died in Nazi concentration camps during World War II.

Noting the United States and other nations are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the end of the war this year, Graves said, "It is also a time for solemn remembrance." "It's easy to forget the horrors of World War II," the governor said. "It is even easier to forget that it could ever happen again." Main speaker for the observance was Margalith Clarenburg of Manhattan, a member of the Kansas Holocaust Commission who with her family hid in marshes in the Nether- lands for three years during the German occupation, escaping the concentration camps. "I don't know what to say, except thank the Lord I am here today, that the Germans did not find me," she said. She said it is important for all people, not just those who survived the Holocaust, to dedicate themselves to living. "I learned life is a wonderful thing," she said.

"Think about this moment. Be thankful for it." Named to the Holocaust Commission for 1995 were Rabbi Lawrence P. Karol of Topeka, chairman; Clarenburg; Barry Crawford, Alan Haimowitz and Ragen Murray, all of Topeka; Donald Douglas, Wichita; Rabbi Herbert J. Mandl, Mark Mandelbaum and Jean Zeldin, all of Overland Park; state Rep. Sheila Hochhauser, Manhattan; Loraine Lindenbaum, Lawrence, and Ralph Rundquist, Assaria.

Wyandotte County District Attorney Nick Tomasic ruled Monday that Steineger was not entitled to the $29,978 payment for vacation, sick time and compensatory time he earned in eight years as mayor. The city issued Steineger a check for the full amount Friday, but it stopped payment on that check Monday and issued him one for $2,468 to cover his final two weeks' salary and car allowance. City officials said he had agreed to return the first check; Steineger could not be reached for comment. Tomasic said neither state law nor the city charter allows Steineger to accrue the benefits to which other city employees are entitled. Stink bomb sickens 37 at Coldwater high school COLDWATER A pesticidelaced stink bomb exploded at a local high school, sending 37 students and teachers to a hospital for treatment.

No serious injuries resulted from the incident Tuesday, and students and teachers were quickly released from the hospital, said Nancy Graham, a dispatcher for the Comanche County Sheriff's Department. A mixture including malathion, urine and aquarium water was dumped in a men's rest room about 10:30 a.m., Graham said "anything obnoxious they could think to mix in there." The school has 150 to 200 pupils, she said. The students and teachers complained of shortness of breath, chest pains and nausea. School was canceled for the day, Graham said.

One in four is living with both natural parents. County Manager Bill Buchanan said officials want to find ways to use the information to make changes. "We're attempting to look at all sorts of ways to intervene and interfere in the juvenile justice system," he said. "It's not working. We're overcrowded.

Our people are stressed because of the overcrowding. And the situation is not getting better, but worse." For example, according to Hales, the county could examine how to deal with family problems before a minor is let go and sent back home. "When the family has a history of substance abuse, somebody needs to deal with that issue," Hales said. Buchanan said the county has to decide what role it should take in working with youths before they get in trouble. "What responsibility does local government have?" he said.

"We've pretty much not had a responsibility. It's been a school issue or Head Start or some other. It's been an easy one to ignore. We try to do Project Freedom, and we do mental health. Could we be doing more? "We can't afford to keep building jails and expanding them.

The sheriff and Ken Hales are saying more room, more room. There is not enough money in Sedgwick County to meet their needs." The county can do a couple of things for starters, Gwin said. First, "We're attempting to look at all sorts of ways to intervene and interfere in the juvenile justice system. It's not working. We're overcrowded." Bill Buchanan, county manager it should make sure Sedgwick County has people involved in the state's advisory commission studying youth crime issues.

"If you're going to build system, I think you need people at the table who work with it every day," Gwin said. Gov. Bill Graves is appointing an advisory commission, called a youth authority, that will report to the Legislature by Nov. 1 on how changes could be made in the juvenile-justice system. A bill approved last week by legislators will create an independent agency to take control of young offenders on July 1, 1997.

Gwin said she also would like to convene a meeting in the county this year so that people who work with young people can figure out ways to make the county's system work better. "I don't think we have to wait for the state to tell us," she said, adding that she wants the meeting to happen "before the study gets lost on a shelf."
