He notes Rubino's 25 year burglary sentence for a door-breaking incident tied to an escalating dispute, alongside similar cases such as Jeff Berryhill and Kemba Smith, urging a return to proportionate punishment and human discretion.

River respect to the editor and Kaw fishing politics
A reader disputes Ned Kehde's Aug 2 Outdoors column claiming the Kansas River is perilous and notes fishing costs and fatalities occurred on reservoirs rather than the Kaw. The writer argues for more river boating and public access to promote safer, respectful, informed use of moving waters. He urges Kehde to highlight safety guidance and boaters who can educate on hull design hazards and navigation.
