Higher waste taxes essential: Pearson
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Higher waste disposal taxes are necessary because the U.S. Supreme Court has said dumpers can declare bankruptcy to evade clean-up costs, Attorney General Linley E. Pearson says. He said Friday, "The decision makes it imperative that Indiana raise its land disposal taxes at least four times the
In the name of progress... AMAX may have to move heaven and earth to continue mining
ST. JOHN, Ind. (AP) his price, should a congregation? How can a family calculate the value of its church? Those questions face two rural churches that are in the path of progress for AMAX Coal Co.’s Ayrshire mine. For more than 100 years, worshipers have attended St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church and Zoar United Church of Christ south of Elberfeld in Warrick County. Last month, AMAX offered to buy both churches. The huge dragline has cut into the congregations as well as the land once owned by their members. Many families have relocated and now attend other churches. But some return for Sunday services. At St. John, parishioners are evenly
Argos residents talk basketball again
ARGOS, Ind. (AP) For months after the brutal slaying of Darlene R. Hulse, people in this Marshall County community of 1,500 thought of and talked of little else. Just recently have they been able to concentrate once again on the comfortable topics of snowfall, hunting and basketball. It was Aug. 17,1984, that an assailant entered the home of Mrs. Hulse just south of Argos, beat her fatally and abducted her. She was home with her three children, ages 8,6, and 1, when the stranger posing as a deliveryman forced his way inside. “At the coffee shops, instead of talking about the weather and coon dogs, they were talking about the Hulse case,” Town Marshal James C. Van Vactor says. Mrs. Hulse was struck, perhaps with a fireplace tool, and abducted in a rusted, green car the older children later described to police. Her body was
I rsay blames shots at car on prankster INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Colts owner Robert J. Irsay believes shots were fired at his car in Chicago by youths or pranksters, not someone with a grudge. Irsay said shots were fired Jan. 4 as he drove a red station wagon on Chicago’s near-northside. Irsay, who lives in the Chicago area, left a parking garage that night and had turned onto a one-way street heading west, he said. “I saw a shot bounce off the car. I ducked to the floor. I saw another car 40 to 50 feet ahead," Irsay said in an interview Friday at his office in Indianapolis. “I was alone I don’t know what it was all about. “I sort of feel Rush Street has a lot of young kids and pranksters who get drunk very easy. I would think some kids did it.” Irsay, who moved his National Football League club to Indianapolis from Baltimore last March, speculated that a 22-caliber weapon was used in the shooting, which failed to crack the windshield. “I just say it was a prank. I don’t think it was any disheartened fan from Baltimore,” said Irsay. “If they knew anything about weapons, they would have used a .38 or .45.” Irsay reported the shooting directly to the FBI in Chicago and never filed a local police report, a spokesman for the Chicago Police Department said. “I didn't tell Chicago police. I did tell the FBI because I got 12 or 14 pretty serious letters, and they were working with me on those,” Irsay said.

divided about whether to sell, according to Mary Effinger. She and three others serve on a committee formed by their priest to work with Bishop Francis Shea, the head of the Catholic Diocese of Evansville. The final decision on whether to sell the 90-year-oid church will rest with Shea. Zoar Church Council President Doris Godeke said her congregation has not even discussed AMAX’s Dec. 28 offer. She expects debate to begin at the annual congregational meeting Jan. 20 “No one ever thought (AMAX) would try to do something with the churches,” Mrs. Godeke said. “With the two churches so close together, we’d thought they’d never make an offer and would just go around us.”
discovered the next day in a wooded area a few miles from the house. Marshall County police took charge of the case and with the help of state police launched an intensive search for the assailant, so far without success. Friends and neighbors, in town and in the nearby countryside, were stunned by the Hulse’s tragedy and worried for their own safety. Doris Stephensen, co-owner with her brother of the hardware store at Ind. 10 and old Ind. 31, the main intersection in Argos, said Thursday the slaying was followed by an upturn in sales of home security hardware. “It’s been bad for the women especially,” Mrs. Stephensen said. “We sold a lot of locks for a while. A lot of locks.” “Things aren’t quite as tense as thev

executive of Chem-Dyne Corp. in Ohio formerly associated with the Seymour site. Indiana and 29 other states had joined Ohio in fighting the Kovacs case, arguing that businesses should never be allowed to escape clean-up expenses. Pearson noted that neighboring states charge significantly more than Indiana does for land disposal of hazardous waste.
The two churches are less than a mile apart and about six miles south of Elberfeld. The Catholic congregation is debating whether an offer to buy should simply reflect the actual market value of the property when it means so much more than money to many of the members. More than half of the parishioners are descended from the original German immigrants who founded the church in 1868. The brick church has been the setting for family histories played out in baptisms, weddings and funerals. Their ancestors chose the cemetery next to the church for their final resting place. Negotiations for both churches have included guarantees that the cemeteries
were,” says Van Vactor, who became marshal little more than a month after the killing. “Nobody talks about it much anymore,” Sharon Dilley said. There’s not much optimism among customers that investigators will ever bring charges, she said. “Most people think they’re never going to find him, if they haven’t already,” she said. Van Vactor has a firm response to that kind of pessimism. “It’ll be solved eventually,” he insists. Yet as tips and leads dwindled, Marshall County detective David Yoquelet became the only investigator assigned full time to the case. Yoquelet said the investigation has produced the names of several people who might have been involved. The evidence is insufficient either to clear them or to file charges, he said.

State's political establishment split over Negley campaign issue
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Hoosier politicians are split over candidates’ use of campaign funds for personal expenses. The reactions follow published reports that State School Superintendent Harold Negley used more than $7,300 in interestfree loans from his campaign. The Indianapolis News reported Thursday that Negley, a Republican, has been under investigation by Marion County Stephen Goldsmith since late 1983. Goldsmith said he has found no criminal violations, but the investigation remains active. State election law is vague about how campaign funds can be used by a candidate, and Goldsmith said he plans to ask the state Election Board to review Negley’s campaign finances. “I don’t know if he has broken any laws. I guess it is a matter of personal ethics,” said Sen. V. Richard Miller, R-Plymouth, Senate majority caucus chairman. “I have a campaign treasurer, and he won’t let me spend any money.” State GOP Chairman Gordon Durnil described election campaign fund laws as “hazy” but also said Negley had broken no laws. However, Durnil said he wouldn’t advise candidates to spend campaign money on personal expenses. “The only candidates I can speak for are the ones whose money I handled. Like this year, I handled (Gov.) Bob Orr’s and (Lt. Gov.) John Mutz’s. I know they didn’t do those kind of things,” Durnil said. Democratic State Chairman John
would be undisturbed, that’s not enough for some church members. “There’s people who say you shouldn’t sell your church at any price,” Mrs. Effinger said. But I say you should sell if you get your price.” Mrs. Effinger, who moved to the parish in 1918, worries that mining and blasting will damage the church. Mortar and bricks used in 1895 are not as sturdy as modern construction, said the 71-year-old parishioner. Carl F. Wagner, the committee’s chairman, was born in the parish 77 years ago. Six generations of his family have worshipped at St. John. “Some parishioners are not interested in selling at any price,” Wagner said. “They

Livengood said he believed Negley crossed a fine line in his use of the campaign funds. Spending political contributions on a $9,000 boat and a mortgage payment “is going too far,” he said There is a difference “between expenses and extravagance, if you will,” Livengood added. Livengood suggested campaign fund spending laws be tightened, but “we have to be careful about not rushing (to enact more laws) because one person abuses it.” Orr said it would be inappropriate to
say why should we start with a whole new set of buildings?” A church, rectory, school, convent and cemetery sit on the parish’s six acres. The parish owns another four acres about onefourth mile east of the church. “The building is too old not to consider a good offer,” Mrs. Effinger said. “We have to face reality.” Mrs. Effinger said many people argue for the sentimental value of the church and the community that once surrounded it. “They say it’s the idea that it is St. John’s but there’s nothing left of St. John’s. There’s nothing but a wilderness here,” she said. Deserted homes dot the countryside. Mrs. Effinger believes it will take many

comment while the investigation was continuing, but he remarked: “I am pleased that the prosecutor found no illegality. Asked if the Legislature should pass stronger laws prohibiting candidates from diverting money to their personal use, Orr said, “Probably. There are some pretty strong laws about a lot of that House Majority Leader Richard Dellinger, R-Noblesville, said he understood the law placed no restrictions on the expenditure of campaign funds. “It doesn’t look like anything illegal oe curred,” Dellinger said. “I think under the law the expenditure of campaign funds is at the discretion of candidates.’ State Rep. John Thomas, R-Brazil, a former chairman of the House Ethics Com mittee, said, “If these matters are true, there was a lack of propriety in the use of campaign funds.” State Rep. Paul Hric, D-Hammond. suggested other elected officials were using campaign funds for personal items. “I am finding out a lot of candidates do not abide by that. We should tighten up on that,” Hric said. House Minority Whip Ed Goble, D Batesville, said, “The sad thing is that he (Negley) didn’t do anything illegal, but I think there is a moral question involved. “ Those who provide the funds expect you to use them for campaign purposes and they should be spent that way. Maybe we need to take a look at the law and clarify what campaign funds can be used for ”
years for people to rebuild and repopulate the reclaimed land when AMAX quits mining. Older members of both congregations are most adamant about not selling, the lay people said. For them, the churches are the last remnants of the community where they grew up. Elmer Fehd, 68, has refused to sell AMAX any part of the family farm once owned by his grandfather. He grew up on the farm and at Zoar United Church. “I got my grandparents on my mother’s side in two graves there,” Fehd said of the Zoar cemetery. “In the next two south are my grandparents on my father's side. And my daddy and mother are there. Some people don’t think of that.”
