County keeps track of diversion terms
By CRAIG HERRMANN
Staff writer
Criminal offenders who enter into diversion agreements in Douglas County are not slipping through the legal system, the county district attorney said yesterday.
A legislative report filed in Topeka on Tuesday said that of 266 diversion agreements filed in Kansas' five most populous counties, about 25 percent intentionally might be dismissed by local officials.
"I see no problem with unintentional dismissal in Douglas County," said Jim Flory, Douglas County district attorney.
Douglas County is the fifth most populous county, behind Sedgwick, Johnson, Wyandotte and Shawnee counties.
Diversion is an alternative to criminal proceedings that allows an offender to receive punishment by paying fees, attending therapy sessions or performing community service work.

assigned.
The legislative report said that in 25 percent of cases surveyed, a lack of documentation could allow officials to unintentionally dismiss charges even though the diversion agreement had not been completed.
In another 25 percent of the cases, the diversion requirements were not fulfilled, or not fulfilled until local prosecutors took action.
The remaining cases were carried out properly, according to the report.
If an offender fails to complete his diversion assignment, his case may be taken back to court, where legal proceedings would resume.
In a response to the charge that some cases slip through because of a lack of documentation, Flory said he was confident that none of the cases were from Douglas County.

Farm issues unify debaters
MANHATTAN — Kansas governor candidates Mike Hayden and Tom Docking exhibited more differences in style than in the substance of their pronouncements yesterday at a joint forum on farm issues.
In their second joint appearance since the Aug. 5, primary, Docking, the Democratic lieutenant governor, and Hayden, the Republican House speaker, answered questions from agriculture reporters at a meeting sponsored by the Kansas Farm Bureau.
The tone of Hayden's presentation was set by his opening statement, listing his familiar pedigree as the son of a western Kansas farm family who attended Kansas State University, served in the Army in Vietnam and rose through the legislative ranks to become speaker.
On the other hand, Docking, a Wichita lawyer, talked about problems in the farm economy, saying the state could do little to help, other than to help hold down the cost of production and interest rates.
The candidates agreed there was little that could be done by the state to improve farm prices. Both endorsed the interest write down law as an
Hayden reiterated his opposition to Carlin's plan and also criticized Carlin for proposing to eliminate the state meat inspection program.
the Carlin proposal was that there was no adequate way to set agriculture policy under the current board, appointed by the state's farm groups. He said a policymaking function could be assigned to the board if it were reorganized, or it could be delegated to one of the centers within the state, such as K-State.

When they were asked whether the secretary of agriculture should be appointed by the governor rather than the Board of Agriculture. Docking appeared to retreat from Gov. John Carlin's stance. Carlin proposed stripping the board of its authority and bringing the agriculture department under a gubernatorial appointee, a move opposed by Hayden and other Republicans.
The candidates were asked whether they would support sales of wheat to South Africa during a time when public and private interests are being urged to stop doing business with the racially divided country.
