Roachdale

Mrs. Miller said the library and Roachdale community is very lucky to have a replacement like Penny Schad, who has taken over head librarian duties. The wife of North Putnam Junior-Senior ' High School Principal Bill Schad is a graduate of Brazil High School. Mrs. Schad was graduated from Indiana State University, where she minored in library science. She has been certified as a Librarian IV by the State Library Certification Board. In the past, Mrs. Schad has been employed at the Brazil Public Library, the St. Mary-of-the-Woods College library and was recently the children’s librarian at the Roachdale Library. “WE ARE REALLY lucky to get Penny,” Mrs. Miller advised, “although we have been kidded. People are asking us if your husband is principal of the high school, does that mean you automatically become the head librarian here?

Road to Recovery services available

The Road to Recovery is a group of American Cancer Society volunteers who drive cancer patients to and from medical facilities for treatments. This program operates throughout the state. ANYONE CAN HELP. All you need is a driver’s license, access to a car and the ability to spare as little as one morning or one afternoon occasionally. There are 149 potential cancer patients in F'utnam County. Of these 149 patients, 75 will receive radiation treatments. This will be 1,875 potential trips needed to meet the needs of the county. Because of advances in medical research, there will be cures for many. Getting to the cures, however, is often a problem.

Orr endorses new punishment for felon

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Gov. Robert D. Orr says he wants the Legislature to provide for mandatory jail sentences for adults convicted of felonies who have committed violent acts as juveniles. Orr said Wednesday such people should be viewed as repeat offenders for sentencing purposes even though that means taking into account their juvenile records. Traditionally, an individual’s delinquent

“That’s just the way it has worked out the past 12 years,” Mrs. Miller, whose husband Kenneth Miller is a former North Putnam High School principal, noted. “But that situation has worked to our advantage, since the school and our library can work together.” The 12 years that Mrs. Miller has served as the head librarian have gone fast, she remarks. “It’s been kind of an interesting job and one that I have really liked. Of course, I do like books and I find the library a fun place to be ” MRS. MILLER WILL still work at the library as an assistant and plans to keep in close contact with the programs offered there. As far as what has been the most enjoyable aspect of the job, Mrs. Miller could not point to one area. “All of it was enjoyable,” she relates, “especially talking with all the people and suggesting books they may like to read.”

One cancer patient requiring radiation therapy could need anywhere from 20 to 30 trips in six weeks. A patient receiving chemotherapy might report for treatment weekly for up to a year. IN MANY CASES, a patient is driven to hospitals or clinics by relatives or friends, but even these patients must seek alternative transportation occasionally. That’s where Road to Recovery comes in. Volunteers are needed to drive these patients to the treatment centers. Persons interested in helping may contact one of the following people: Betty Dierdorf (653-4468), Ann Crosby (653-3787), Joyce McCammack (526-2425) or Sara Lane (653-6764). The local Cancer Society number is 653-5210.

acts as a minor have been considered only on a limited basis in Indiana criminal cases. The principle has been that delinquents should have their records cleared and be given a fresh start in society once they become adults. Orr said the protection has been abused giving experienced juvenile offenders “one free felony at their 18th birthday. ” Orr also proposed:

Prisons

County will participate in the near future. According to Sheriff Gerry Hoffa, he was first approached by the Department of Corrections (DOC) at the end of 1983 with a proposal to house four or five women prisoners. "WE SIGNED UP FOR it and sent the paperwork into DOC,” Hoffa told the Ban-ner-Graphic. “Basically, they wanted to send me women, and I told them we didn’t have much room for women.” Hoffa said DOC returned, explaining the contract they had with other counties. “They wanted us to pay the $75 (stipend given to offender when he leaves) gate fee when the inmates left and the mileage allowed them,” the sheriff explained. “They would reimburse us.” Hoffa said he informed the department that there was no way he could pay for that in his budget. CURRENTLY. THE SHERIFF said he is waiting for some guidance from the legislature on how to handle the program. If Putnam County does eventually agree to participate, Hoffa said, the local jail could probably house three male inmates and one female. Broglin says she is anticipating the department will seek additional funds to support the program. Currently, state penal institutions participating in the effort include the Indiana Women’s Prison, Indiana State Farm and Westville Correctional Center - the only correctional facilities in the state that house misdemeanor offenders. The Indiana Women’s Prison has sent 10 of its female misdemeanants to Grant County. Broglin does not know how many offenders Westville, which also houses women, has sent. Although Broglin explained that DOC of-

ficials have not established any quantitative goals for the program, she believes officials are happy with efforts during its first year. “WERE REALLY STARTING to develop this program,” Broglin explained. “I guess we are learning as we go.” The reason given by some county jails for not participating, Broglin said, is special medical problems of certain inmates. Broglin explained, however, that the state attempts to be flexible when contracting with a local facility. “It is not our intent to run their jail,” she offered, “but we have certain parameters set before us by state statute.” According to Broglin, state statute requires a penal facility to have a due process disciplinary policy. “BUT MOST JAILS have that anyway,” she explained, “so there really aren’t a lot of adjustments to make.” Grant County Sheriff Ronald Mowery agrees. His jail, which is only four years old, has been participating in the program since March 1984. “We were running 30 inmates below our capacity,” Mowery told the BannerGraphic Thursday morning. “So we contracted for 15 inmates. Since then it’s worked out very well.” The sheriff said he has hired six additional jailers which the County Council had anticipated employing anyway. “WE’VE HAD NO disciplinary problems whatsoever,” Mowery explained. “The women are involved in crafts and workshops.” He added, “We had to send back a couple but that was because of medical problems.” The sheriff said the program is serving a

the five members William Montgomery and Peggy Harris were on the commission for the Bailly decision. “I think there’s a chance Commissioner Harris has an open mind on this. There was a lot of wrestling within the commission when they came up with their initial decision in the NIPSCO case. And I’m assuming that these commissioners treat this with an open mind,” Culp saij. CAC attorney Michael Mullett said the sheer magnitude of the Marble Hill expense may cause the PSC to retreat from its Bailly position. “Marble Hill is not Bailly. And talking about $2.8 billion as opposed to $l9O million, I think the commissioners are going to have to search their consciences and weigh their decisions a lot more carefully at this point than they did in the past,” Mullet said. In addition, Montgomery and Ms. Harris

twofold purpose: Putting additional monies in the county general fund and also helping out the state by diminishing overcrowding. “I think it’s a misconception that the county has to pay more money for this,” Mowery explained. “But they have to be housed by DOC anyway and this way it’s saving a considerable amount of money.” THE SHERIFF SAID HE does not an ticipate adding any more inmates to his current contract, despite the program’s success. “Our population for some unexplainable reason has increased in the last few months,” he explained. “We initially wanted to add five more but right now we want to stay at least 10 below the maximum to allow space for weekenders.” The filtering program is only one of the state-funded correctional programs Broglin’s office is involved in currently. Eleven counties are participating in the community correction act programs costing the state $2.8 million in the four years since the initiative began. Most counties, Broglin advises, are sponsoring programs which place non-violent offenders on community public service jobs, helping to pay for restitution. “Some counties are even more creative than that,” Broglin explained. A LOCAL ADVISORY board, consisting of 16 members from all facets of community life serve to monitor the program. Although there have been some rumblings in Putnam County, no definite plans have been formalized as yet. DOC officials will be sending out letters to all 92 counties in November, Broglin said, inviting them to participate.

are veterans of PSl’s attempt last summer to get a trended rate increase to provide capital to finish Marble Hill. That prompted an outcry from consumers as well as Attorney General Linley E. Pearson and Gov. Robert D. Orr over what was seen as an attempt to raise rates to cover construction work in progress something not allowed by Indiana law. “The CWIP issue is one side of it. The recovery through rates of the cost of abandoned construction projects is another aspect of that same issue.” Mullett said. No matter how the PSC rules, the case is going to wind up in the court of appeals “simply because of the magnitude of the money involved,” Culp said. "Anytime you’ve got $2.8 billion tied up in one decision, I think it’s pretty likely that you can expect some court appeals no matter who wins.”
