Speaker will abandon 'one-man control'

Won't block state lottery legislation: Dailey

KOKOMO,Ind. (AP) Hoosiers opposed to a possible state lottery will have to find a new advocate in the statehouse. House Speaker J. Roberts Dailey said Friday he no longer will be a “one-man control” against bills to lift the state’s ban on lotteries. Speaking at a Kokomo-Howard County Chamber of Commerce meeting, Dailey said he would meet with opponents of a state lottery Monday to tell them he won’t use his influence to defeat lottery legislation. “If they want to beat it, they’re going to have to get out and drum up the forces,”

Purdue twister chasers hoping for just one more

Special to the Banner-Graphic WEST LAFAYETTE-Though most Hoosiers are thankful for the lack of tornadoes this year, a group of students at Purdue are hoping the twister season is not yet over. “We hope to see at least one tornado before the end of summer,” said Tim Klingler of Paulding, Ohio, a graduate student at Purdue who formed a tornado “chase” team earlier this spring. The purpose of the team is to track and gather information about the destructive winds that can create twisters, says Klingler. “BY BEING NEAR the site, we can get a lot of good information about the structure of the storm and its movement,” he explained. “There is still a lot of mystery surrounding the formation and movement of tornadoes, and we hope to help answer some of those questions.” Klingler formed the team this year after attending a national conference on severe storms in Tulsa, Okla. Though tornado “chase” teams have operated several years at the University of Oklahoma, this is the first year a team was formed at Purdue. “The conference was my first real exposure to what severe storm research is all about. I saw how much chasing actually goes on and decided to form a team at Purdue. Indiana is also a high-rish state for tornadoes, and scientists don’t have much information about tornadoes in the Midwest.” MOST OF THE STUDENTS who work on the team are studying some area of atmospheric sciences, he added. “Since most of the students are studying this area, they are very interested in seeing a tornado. We’ve read about storms and tornadoes, but our real laboratory is outdoors. Others, of course, were in it only for the thrills.” The students studied “spotter’s guides”

Little Orphan Nannie came to stay

By DAVID BARR Banner-Graphic Civic Affairs Editor Little Orphan Nannie came to our house to stay one spring morning a long time ago, and neither her life nor ours was the same for months afterwards. She really wasn’t an orphan in the strictest sense of the word. Her mother was alive and kicking in the sheep barn where the then nameless Nannie was born. From the very beginning, the hapless lamb was an outcast, and all our efforts to convince the ewe that true motherhood incurred certain obligations, failed. BROUGHT TO THE HOUSE to be bottle fed, the unwanted waif was named Nannie for no particular reason Her immediate problem was learning how to put up with people. Later it was to be people who had to put up with her. It wasn't long until the bottle filled with cow’s milk became her symbol of security. The sight of it, full or empty, caused frenzied shaking of her little tail. Soon Nannie learned that she was a part

said the Muncie Republican. Dailey, a staunch opponent of gambling, has used his influence in the last two sessions to block proposed constitutional amendments dealing with lotteries and pari-mutuel wagering. In 1983, the Senate approved a resolution to remove Indiana’s constitutional ban on lotteries. Dailey assigned the measure to the House Commerce Committee and then appeared at the hearing to make an impassioned plea against it. The committee deadlocked 5-5, and the measure died. In the 1984 session, the House Rules

and “storm-chase manuals” to develop safety guidelines and positioning techniques. Before going out on a “chase”, team members study satellite photos, weather summaries and tornado reports at the geosciences laboratory to monitor daily weather conditions in the area. If severe weather was present, the students would identify areas where conditions looked “favorable” for tornadoes and drive to those areas. # THE STUDENTS CARRY equipment to monitor wind speeds, air pressure, temperature and humidity, and use a citizen’s band radio to communicate with one another They stay in contact with members in the laboratory at Purdue by calling in from a site, and listen to radio reports issued by the National Oceanic and Atomospheric Administration to monitor weather. “We had one close encounter in late April." recalled Klingler. “We spotted several storm systems in central Illinois on a day when a small tornado outbreak occurred in the northern part of the state.” Though Purdue does not sponsor or support the team effort. Klingler hopes the chase team will become an on-going project at the university. “I’ve already had several students inquire about participating on a team next year,” he said. WHILE HE ADMITS he is fascinated with the deadly twisters, what would his reaction be if he actually saw one? “I don’t know,” he laughed. “The important thing to remember is that you have to take precaution and show respect for the tornado. We’re dealing with a killer here.” Students who worked in organizing and coordinating the team this year include, Dennis Klutzke, Route 1, Wingate; William Scott Sharp, Route 1, Selma; Dan Vietor, Indianapolis; Rick Rostek, Route 6, Claremore, Okla.; and Steve McCauley, Vienna, W. Va.

of the family and as such she took all advantages inherent with adoption. THE JOY OF A PET lamb had the kids clamoring to be part of the action. Who held the bottle last time and whose turn it was now became a matter which mother had to adjudicate. Time brought a rapid decline in enthusiasm. Now the clamor was: “I fed Nannie last time and it’s not my turn now.” Sometimes the bottle handlers had to be drafted, regardless of whose turn it was to keep poor Nannie fed on schedule. One of Nannie’s first accomplishments toward living like people came when her wobbly legs became strong enough to mount the back porch step which, unfortunately, gave her access to the back door And now the admonition that kids who held the screen door open while deciding whether to come in or go out and thereby letting in a lot of flies were going to get it took on added meaning. LIKE MARY’S LITTLE lamb, Nannie

Committee approved a resolution specifying that for the purposes of Indiana’s Constitution, pari-mutuel wagering was not to be considered a lottery. The resolution attempted to nullify an Indiana Supreme Court ruling that said pari-mutuel wagering was an unconstitutional form of lottery. Dailey blocked the measure by refusing to hand it down for consideration by the full House. Daily said he remains a steadfast op ponent of the lottery because it is in complete opposition to the work ethic.

was a born follower, so now anyone who let her trail them into the house was to be held liable for any consequences which might occur. Our immediate areas which were fenced included the barn lot, the garden and the chicken yard. All around the house was open country, a fact which Nannie was soon to realize. Thriving on cow’s milk, her legs soon became strong enough to make it up several steps to the front porch, where the floor made a sounding board on which she could demonstrate her sense of rhythm. Her performances consisted of jumping stiff-legged across the porch with a beat which a drummer would find hard to duplicate. BUT AS AN ENTERTAINER, she was soon to fall out of favor when she nibbled down the morning glory vine which was supposed to eventually shade the porch This marked the beginning of her transition from a cute little lamb to a sheep. She was to learn that a free lunch is not

“You get rich for nothing,” he added. Dailey said the issue probably will be decided by voters in a referendum. To reach that point, a measure repealing the ban would have to be passed in two legislative sessions. The Legislature would also be required to pass a bill allowing such things as a lottery. Daily said his decision to tone down his anti-lottery activities has nothing to do with his bid to win re-election this fall. “It is time that I try to avoid having people blame me personally for that issue,” he said.

forever, and that there come times when all living things must fend for themselves or go hungry. The future for a pet lamb is not always bright. The choice may be going to market and then wind up as lamb chops. Such a { fate for Nannie would have been like sending a family member to the slaughter house. HER DESTINY WAS TO be included as part of the permanent flock so as soon as she was old enough to make it on her own. she was turned out with the rest of the sheep. Not long after that, dogs got into the sheep one night and those that were not killed outright were badly maimed. Nannie was one of the victims Although she was no longer thought of as a pet, the family felt a loss greater than the money value. Even grandpa, who lived with us and often grumbled about the lamb being a troublesome nuisance that followed him around, felt real bad that things had to turn out this way.
