Case closed

No indictments, no disclosure in Hendricks County

DANVILLE, Ind. (AP) A Hendricks County grand jury has closed its investigation into charges that Sheriff Ray Daugherty was the victim of a political conspiracy. The grand jury ended its inquiry Monday without issuing indictments. The panel, which heard three witnesses earlier this month, did not call any additional witnesses, said Prosecutor David H. Coleman. Coleman said the grand jury will not be issuing a report of its investigation at his reccomendation. He made that suggestion in light of last week’s Indiana Supreme Court decision that grand jury reports should not be publicized if they contain only accusations and not indictments, Coleman said. The grand jury was called early this month by Hendricks Circuit Court Judge Jeffrey V. Boles.

Increased gas rates await PSC okay

Indiana Gas has filed a new schedule of rates with the Public Service Commission of Indiana which includes an upward ajustment designed to reflect changes in the cost of gas purchased from interstate pipeline suppliers. IF APPROVED by the Indiana Commission, the new rates will become effective Feb. 1, in accordance with the commission’s procedure which permits gas utilities of Indiana to adjust rates to reflect changes in purchased gas costs resulting from pipeline company rate changes which have been authorized by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

Brazil jail escapee to be held at Terre Haute

BRAZIL (AP)- Clay County Jail escapee Joseph Jakalski will be returning to Indiana soon, but this time he will be housed in the more secure federal penitentiary at Terre Haute. JAKALSKI, 64, who broke out of the county jail along with two other prisoners Nov. 12, surrendered to FBI agents Dec. 24 at Las Vegas. He was awaiting trial on charges of robbing a Brazil bank in 1980. He had been con-

Boles called the jury in reaction to Daugherty’s aflegations that his prosecution and subsequent conviction on charges of battery and official misconduct were part of a conspiracy to protect prostitution and massage parlors in the county west of Indianapolis. Daugherty first made his charges public after he was sentenced to 120 days in jail and fined $l,lOO on Nov. 11 in connection with the 1979 beating of three jail inmates. He is appealing the conviction. The Indianapolis .Star reported in today’s editions that of the major reasons for Daugherty’s charges was a March meeting in which he said a county judge and an attorney tried to pressure him into laying off prostitution arrests. The meeting, Daugherty said, was with Hendricks Superior Court Judge John C. Mowrer and Danville attorney A.J. Stevenson.

Looking toward retirement, he announces plans to travel and fish and to spend more times with his grandchildren, Leann, 15, and Andy, 13, children of his daughter, Nancy Walbring, and her husband, David. WHILE AT HIS FIRST state job at Pur due, he contracted an acute case of “Boilermakeritis”, and today his sports fortunes rise and fall with successes and failures of Purdue’s teams. He says his sports activities may now be limited by his household duties.

The adjustment included in the new schedule of Indiana Gas rates filed would result in an increase of $4.54 per year for the average residential non-space heating customer who uses 35,200 cubic feet of gas annually, and an increase of $18.12 per year for the average residential space heating customer who uses 140,500 cubic feet of gas annually. Commercial and industrial users would also experience higher gas costs as a result of this filing. THE COMPANY’S proposed rate adjustment would recover only the increase in the cost of gas purchased and would not increase Indiana Gas Co. profits.

Jakalski told a U.S. marshal at Las Vegas he was “cold, hungry and calling it quits.” THE OTHER escapees were captured shortly after their escape. In addition to the bank robbery charge, Jakalski now will be tried on charges of escape, federal authorities said.

Mowrer and Stevenson both deny anything was said at the meeting which would make Daugherty think he was being pressured. Daughtery testified about the incident before a Hendricks County grand jury here in June. That jury decided not to pursue the matter any further. Neither Mowrer nor Stevenson was called to testify before the most recent grand jury, which heard only from Daugherty and two sheriff’s department detectives. Coleman has said he does not believe there is anything to the sheriff’s charges about Mowrer and Stevenson. He said the dismissal of the grand jury “basically” closes the case. “But you can’t make a flat-out statement like that because there could be new evidence that would come out and make us want to do more with it,” Coleman added.

While the records will show that Paul Lehe is now a retiree, don’t get the notion he will go shopping for a rocking chair. He will continue to be busy much of the time at work in which the pay is in deep satisfaction. Deeply devoted to his Christian faith, and believing that man best serves God through serving his fellowmen, he now formulating plans to become more involved in volunteer service in the community and through his church. *

SIHSA seeking comment on revisions in health care plan

The Southern Indiana Health Systems Agency (SIHSA) is seeking comments from the public on proposed revisions to a Health Systems Plan for southern Indiana. SIHSA is a federally and state funded not-for-profit corporation which develops plans for health and health care services for the southern 38 counties of Indiana. It acts as a vehicle for local and consumer participation in health care decision-making. THE HEALTH SYSTEMS PLAN is a statement of long-range goals describing a healthful environment (primarily with regard to health care equipment and to health services provided by health care institutions, health care facilities, and other providers of health care and to other health resources) and health systems in southern Indiana which, when developed, will assure that quality health services will be available and accessible in a manner which assures continuity of care, at reasonable cost, for all residents of the area. The draft plan under review is a major revision of the plan developed and adopted by SIHSA in November 1979. It analyzes and proposes goals and objectives for seven major health status concerns (perinatal and infant health, sexually transmitted diseases, accidents and life-threatening behaviors, diabetes, respiratory diseases, heart disease/stroke/hypertension and cancer) and 24 health service and activity areas (health education, environmental quality management, public health services, occupational health services, family planning, immunization services, nutrition services, pre-

In the spittin' image of Clint Eastwood? CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind. (AP) Their “patron saint” is Clint Eastwood and they envision a museum displaying used tobacco plugs. But perhaps the strangest rite of the Cuspidor Hitters Association Worldwide is the Vertical Tobacco Spitting Contest. Crawfordsville’s Mark Flexter, CHAW’s international chairman, won the first vertical spitting contest last week. Flexter won the title by spitting a wad of tobacco 6 feet, 4 inches high onto a wall behind him while lying on his back. The contest was held by the officers of CHAW at their annual Christmas party. “Neither contestant wore goggles, which in the world of vertical spitting is akin to not wearing a helmet in ice hockey,” says a CHAW news release. CHAW is a charity fund-raising organization with more than 60 clubs throughout the world. It holds “fun-loving spitting contests and chewing activities” to help raise funds for local charities. The vertical spitting contest was such a success last Thursday it’s going to become an annual CHAW holiday tradition. Flexter said Tuesday a major project for the new year is a CHAW museum of plugs of tobacco once used by famous people. “We’re pretty proud of this,” said Flexter. “We’re going to write famous chewers and ask them to send us their old plugs, then we’re going to seal them in fruit jars in our museum. It’s our big project for the new year.” Among others, CHAW is soliciting plugs from baseball’s Sparky Lyle, actor Clint Eastwood, who Flexter calls “our patron saint,” and ex-Dallas Cowboy star Walt Garrison. Garrison, according to Flexter, “is pretty famous as far as spitting goes.” Then there’s John Wayne, the late actor who Flexter says he understand was a tobacco chewer. Flexter says he’s attempting to contact Wayne’s survivors for anything museum-worthy that might connect Wayne with tobacco spitting.

THE PLAN SERVES AS THE BASIS for all agency activities including review and recommendation on major capital expenditures by health care facilities and review and approval or disapproval of proposals funded under certain federal programs. Copies of the draft HSP are available for inspection and copying at the offices of SIHSA, 2222 W. Bth St., Bedford, and at libraries in Jeffersonville, Evansville, Vigo county and Bartholomew County. Interested individuals or organizations may also request copies of specific components of the draft plan by calling (812-275-5984) or writing SIHSA. QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS should be addressed to Paul Parker, director of planning, at the Bedford office. Comments concerning the draft plan documents should be received by Jan. 20, in order to assure adequate consideration prior to final adoption, anticipated at the SIHSA board meeting on Jan. 27.
