Dumping by small firms to be tightened

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - New regulations governing reporting by generators of small quantities of hazardous wastes could mean as many as 10,000 generators will have to register with the Environmental Protection Agency, a State Board of Health official says. Beginning in August, most generators of small quantities of hazardous wastes will be required to report and dispose of their wastes in much the same manner as much larger waste producers. The new guidelines are part of the reauthorization of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act passed by Congress and signed into law in November. The reauthorized act sets regulations for the handling of hazardous wastes throughout the country and requires businesses to keep records of the wastes from when they are generated to where they are disposed.

Hoosier may bring 'hysteria'to film

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) native David Anspaugh doesn't want to make a movie with violence and sex. He’d prefer to make his first feature film about basketball, the Hoosier pastime. Anspaugh, a Emmy award-winning 38-year-old native of Decatur, is laying the groundwork for a film tentatively called “Hoosiers” about a high school basketball coach who was blackballed a decade earlier for being a hot head but comes back to coach an Indiana high school team. “There’s no violence, no sex, no chases, no one gets killed,” Anspaugh told the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette during a visit to Indiana for the holidays. “But it could be potentially very big at the box office.” Anspaugh, now a Los Angeles television director, has won two Emmys for his work on television’s “Hill Street Blues.” He also has directed of episodes of “St. E lsewhere” and “Miami Vice.” Anspaugh thinks “Hoosiers” may be the story to help him make the transition to movies. He says the idea developed 15 years ago in uhe mind of Bloomington resident Angelo Pizzo, whom Anspaugh met while attending Indiana University. “My friend had fantasized about making a movie about Milan High School, the state basketball champions in 1954,” said Anspaugh. For more than a decade, the idea fermented in Pizzo’s head. Two years ago, Pizzo, who is also involved in movies, finally put the idea on paper in a story only

pollution control division of the Indiana State Board of Health, said the new guidelines could mean as many as 10,000 new waste generators will register with theEPA. He said the reauthorization also contains a “hammer clause” designed to force the federal agency to act quickly on the small generator issue. Under the reauthorized act, the EPA is required to develop a special set of guidelines for the small generators in a certain period of time or make them subject to all of the requirements for large generators. Under the previous provisions of the act, companies that produced, stored or transported less than one metric ton (1,000 kilograms) of hazardous wastes a month were not required to report the wastes to state health officials or the EPA. State officials believe this allowed thousands of pounds of hazardous wastes produced by such small generators to wind

roughly based on Milan’s story. Anspaugh said the script has been shown to Oscar-winning actors Jack Nicholson and Gene Hackman and that both liked it. He says a production company in its formative stage has expressed interest in the project, and Anspaugh hopes to begin production next fall, probably in Indiana. Anspaugh said negotiations are under way to sign over production rights and could be completed soon. “It’s going to happen, and this is going to be the one,” Anspaugh said of his chance to direct a feature film. “‘Hoosiers’ is going to be the one that does it.” Anspaugh predicted that “Hoosiers” would be an emotionally moving film about a coach who was once defeated and who seems headed to victory the second time around. Anspaugh said he hopes to shoot the film in Indiana during basketball season, and he wants to use an authentic old-time gym like the one Milan used in the 19505. He also says he wants teen-agers who have played together on a team and not professional actors —• to portray the players in the movie. To those that think the story’s theme sound corny, Anspaugh points out that a writing class instructor once badmouthed the idea of a movie script based on Indiana University’s Little 500 bicycle race. Years later, Steve Tesich, a former IU student, wrote the script for a Little 500 movie, which became the hit “Breaking Away.”

up in conventional landfills designed to handle only normal trash and refuse. The lack of reporting requirements makes it possible for hazardous wastes to be mixed in with other refuse and taker, to conventional sites despite state and federal regulations that forbid them from accepting hazardous wastes. To help remedy the problem, the reauthorized federal act shrinks the small generator exemption to 100 kilograms per month one-tenth the previous level. Lamm is taking a wait-and-see attitude on the economic impact of the changes. “Potentially, the costs will go up. But it’s important for them (small generators) not to be stampeded into believing that’s a fundamental truth,” Lamm said. As an example, he said, several years ago an Indianapolis company decided to buy a machine to reclaim solvents it used in a metal cleaning process. The business has found that it has saved money by

Linton friends recall war hero who froze to death

LINTON, Ind. (AP) - A World War II hero who died a homeless man in freezing cold last month across from the White House fulfilled a dream of his youth in death, two longtime friends from Indiana say. “Old Jess always had an ambition go out in glory,” said Asa Fish, 61, who knew Jesse L. Carpenter for years in this town in southwest Indiana. “He really went out in glory.” Carpenter, who received the Bronze Star in 1944, was buried in Arlington National Cemetery with military honors after he froze to death Dec. 5 in Lafayette Park, across from the White House. He was one of the legions of homeless people in the nation’s capital and apparently an alcoholic, authorities said. According to the certificate accompanying Carpenter’s World War II award, the Army private braved “unabated fire” to make three trips carrying wounded soldiers to an aid station 400 yards from battle. Carpenter, who would have been 62 on Jan. 12, was born in Evansville but

reusing the solvents instead of buying new material. And the impurities taken from the solvents, called still bottoms, have yet to fill a 55-gallon drum. He also said Indiana laws are very liberal on allowing tax abatements on pollution control equipment, meaning a company can save money not only on materials but also on taxes. Lisa H. Kobe, director of environmental affairs for the State Chamber of Commerce, said the organization must put on an education program for potential small generators as a result of the act. “The initial RCRA act focused on identifying waste and finding where it was moved,” she said. “The new RCRA is now concerned with what happens to it after it is moved.” While the reauthorized act sets a lot of new requirements, she said “it hit on the concerns of many” and contained few surprises.

was living in Linton when he entered the Army, according to Fish and another friend, John Coakley, 61, of Linton. Coakley said Carpenter always hated the cold that would be his killer. On hitchhiking trips to Detroit looking for jobs or visiting friends, “we almost froze to death a couple of times,” Coakley said. “He hated the cold.” “When it got below 70 degrees, old Jess started gettin’ cold.” “He was a character,” Fish said. “He never had too much to say about his family, though.” Carpenter’s family broke up when his mother either died or ran off. His father was an itinerant preacher, Coakley said. “Jess more or less grew up by himself,” Coakley recalled. Though the two did not correspond after their meeting in the 19505, Coakley said he felt that they continued their friendship. “Jess was the kind of guy that if you didn’t see him for 10 years, if you saw him again, you’d be just as close.”
