Johnson Local restaurant fined for health violations The Panda Garden, 1500 W. Sixth St., received a $500 fine from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment after a routine inspection Dec. 16. Lorne A. Phillips, Acting Director of Health, found a white tail deer carcass being processed on the Panda Garden's kitchen floor. Phillips said that the deer violated a Kansas regulation: "Food shall be in sound condition, free from spoilage, filth or other contaminations and shall be safe for human consumption. Food shall be obtained from sources that comply with all laws relating to food and food labeling." State law allows the KDHE Division of Health to issue fines for violations of state regulations, which are intended to protect the public from food-borne ill-ness. Lucy White, the owner of Panda Garden, said that her brother was using the restaurant while it was closed to clean the deer after a hunting trip. He was not aware of the rules. White said that the deer would not affect the food and that it was for family use. STATE "We serve quality and clean food." White said. "Our product will not be affected by any means. The restaurant was cleaned and disinfected." Three Kansas City men indicted for hate crimes KANSAS CITY, Kan. — People who perpetrate hate crimes in Kansas are being pursued by more prosecutors and law officers than ever before. Late last year, U.S. Attorney Jackie Williams announced formation of the Kansas Hate Crimes Task Force, a body that combines local, county, state and federal resources to investigate and prosecute hate crimes. Now, the work of the task force has gained its first indictment. Three white men are due in federal court on Thursday on charges that they burned a 7-foot cross last July outside the home of a black family. The investigation that resulted in the federal indictment was begun by the city Fire Department, then was picked up by the FBI and the city Police Department. In the cross burning case, a federal grand jury last week returned an indictment charging Raymond Roland, 29, of Kansas City, Mo., and two brothers, James Whitney, 24, and Anthony Whitney, 20, of Kansas City, with conspiring to intimidate and attempting to intimidate a black family. If convicted, each defendant faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine on each count. The Associated Press WORLD Air Force pilots' bodies found in Germany FRANKFURT, Germany — Air Force crews on Thursday recovered the bodies of two American flyers killed when their refueling plane crashed in northwestern Germany, but the search was called off for the other two crewmen aboard.

The KC-135 Stratotanker, assigned temporarily to a NATO base near the northwestern German town of Geilenkirchen, was attempting to land after a refueling run when it crashed at about 7:30 p.m. local time Wednesday, two miles from the base. Control tower reports said the plane tipped toward the right before crashing one-quarter mile north of the runway and several hundred feet from the nearest house. No one on the ground was injured.

Canada health officials reject cow hormone U.S. evaluates The Associated Press OTTAWA — Canadian health officials have rejected the genetically engineered dairy hormone BGH, upholding a ban on its use in cattle. In the United States, several groups have asked the federal government to pull the growth hormone off the market and re-evaluate the research it used to declare the compound safe in 1993. The two senators from Vermont have asked the U.S. Health and Human Services Department to look into the matter. The drug, known as bovine growth hormone and also by the scientific name of recombinant bovine somatotropin (rBST), is injected in cows to increase the amount of milk they give. It has been approved in 29 countries. But Health Canada, in a decision disclosed Thursday, rejected its use. An independent committee of scientists decided the risks posed to cows is too great. A separate committee found the drug poses no direct risks to human health. "It's a decision that's based on more than nine years of comprehensive review," said Joel Weiner, an acting director of the Health Protection Branch. "When we take the findings of the animal safety committee and combine them with our own assessment, it's pretty clear we have to reject the request for approval to use rBST in Canada. In our view, it presents an unacceptable threat to the safety of dairy cows," he said. Monsanto, the St. Louis-based company that made the request, has invested millions of dollars developing the hormone, which is a bio-engineered version of a hormone cows produce naturally.
