tion” of the state rule. Mitchell has also accused Neese of selective enforcement of the ordinance. Sen. Hellmann took Mitchell’s name and address, suggesting a review of the rule and the interpretation is in order. Hellmann and Thompson, on opposite sides of the aisle in the Senate chamber, were on opposite sides of a bill to allow precinct committeemen to serve four-year terms instead of the two-year terms they are currently limited to. HELLMANN SAID he feared it would turn county politics into fiefdoms that would prove difficult to topple. He said county chairmen often serve with precinct committeemen supportive of their chairmanship. So, if a local party wants to replace the county chairman, often he first step is electing the committeemen who will vote to replace the chairman. Hellmann said that is a step that can take place one every two years, now. Under the new bill, it could take place only once every four years. In that length of time, Hellmann said, committeemen, especially in

perienced restaurant operator. It would be impossible to enumerate those of the community and even from the outside who have given their day a good start with coffee and the breakfast whatevers at Joanie’s Patio. Various groups have exercised “squatters rights” at their special tables before moving into their activities and interests. Joanie has been a good listener and has been aware of the ups and downs of her customers. Meeting regularly over the years and at their special table has been a group of professionals, businessmen and others hard to classify. An opiniated group, they have been classed as bigots. TUNING IN ON this group, Joanie says she has learned more about sports from this group than she has learned over the first 43 years of her life. When she announced in 1981 that she was opening the Patio, her plans included a deli. Also included on the menu would be sandwiches, ice cream, soft drinks and, of course, lots and lots of coffee. Although there have been some changes, the offerings have been essentialy the same over the years with the exception of a salad bar. The Patio has always been more than a business hour’s facility. It has been used for private parties and other social events. One of these was a birthday “bash” for the owner and, who would show up but “Macho Man.” COURTESY TO HER customers has always been a must at the Patio, but on one occasion, she had to bend the rules a bit. On one busy lunch hour a customer who had imbibed too freely of “refreshments” from elsewhere was disturbing the peace and had to be escorted over the welcome mat to the street side of the Patio by arrest-

metropolitan areas, might move, allowing the county chairman to appoint a friendly replacement, thwarting the attempt to replace a bad chairman. THOMPSON TOOK the opposite tack, saying Indiana law allows chairmen to serve for four years, but those who elect and support him can serve for only two years. Their argument will be decided on the Senate floor in Indianapolis, and maybe in a conference committee meeting held deep in the bowels of the Statehouse. Hellmann also criticized a GOP attempt to force Democratic Gov. Evan Bayh to sign or veto a budget bill before the end of the session. The House passed a budget bill on a 98-2 vote, sending it to the Senate Finance Committee, headed by Lawrence Borst (R-In-dianapolis). According to Hellmann, Borst held one day of hearings on the budget, did not allow any amendments to be placed to it, and now wants the Senate to approve the House version, sending it to Bayh’s office for rejection or approval. THOMPSON SAID the GOP-

ing authorities. While it hasn’t always been apparent from the customer’s point of view but the Patio has been a family affair. “I would never have made it,” Joanie said, “without the help from husband Bob, a long-time employee of Handy Dairy, along with son, David, a Headley Hardware employee who will be graduating from DePauw this spring, and son, Darryl, press man for the Banner-Graphic. Away from the community family members include daughters, Amy, Rita and Lora. Added to the family are two special granddaughters. JOANIE’S PLANS for the future have not yet been firmed, however, she won’t spend all her time at home just being Mrs. Bob Taylor. She still holds her real estate broker’s license and she is pondering other possibilities. Important at this time will be things she won’t be doing. Topping this list will be the opportunity to stay in bed longer since she won’t have the hassle of hurrying down to the Patio at 6 W. Washington St. to be ready for business when doors open at 7:30 a.m. “I’ve never been an early morning person,” she said. As a customer courtesy, Joanie has had the morning paper available for customer reading. But there’s one thing her customers never knew: The back page has been missing. Between customers she has been using it for her daily bout with the crossword puzzle.

controlled Senate is used to getting direction for the governor’s office about what spending priorities should be. Bayh, he said, has not supplied that direction, possibly because he and his staff are still trying to get up to speed. House Democrats, who fought Bayh’s budget battles in their chamber, might have a powerful bargaining chip with Borst, though. The Indianapolis Republican, a veterinarian with an interest in horse racing, has ushered through his committee a bill to allow parimutuel betting on horses in Indiana. That bill is expected to pass in the Senate, and will go back to the House for reconciling. MOST LIKELY THERE won’t be any problem getting the bill through the House, according to the county’s legislators, but House members might hold it up as ransom for some things Borst might not want to support. Wrangling on an education bill is also likely to go down to the last day, though Hellmann said he could solve the problem, almost singlehandedly. “If I could just sit down with the

any growth in the community, nor did it allow for the regression of tax abatements given to Greencastle’s newest corporate citizens. But parents at Tuesday night’s forum seemed less concerned with the tax rate impact and more concerned about what was fair for each school. Druckemiller pointed out this plan would be equitable toward all three buildings, even though two would lose enrollment and one would gain more space. As children are moved out of Jones and Ridpath, classrooms open up allowing for special programs like remediation work,

Putnam scanner City Police A minor two-vehicle accident occurred Tuesday morning on the city’s North Side, Greencastle City Police reported. A parked 1986 Chevrolet, owned by Shirley Clements, 412 N. College Ave., sustained an estimated S2OO-sl,ooo damage in a 10:55 a.m. mishap on North College. The Clements car was struck by a 1983 Ford, driven by Kathy Downie, 20, Brazil. Police said Downie was backing out of a driveway and her brakes failed, causing her vehicle to strike Clements’ Chevrolet. Damage to Downie’s vehicle was listed at less than S2OO. One traffic ticket was issued by city officers Monday. A failure-to-yield citation was issued to Lisa Lenz, 19, a DePauw University student from Terre Haute, at 12:35 p.m. after Sgt. Carol Boggess witnessed a near-accident at Anderson and Bloomington streets.

governor’s adviser and the superintendent’s (H. Dean Evans) adviser, I could solve this and we could end up with one heck of a bill,” he said half jokingly. “The problem is we have two prima donnas there who don’t know how to work together.” That leads to Bayh’s staff trying to push forward Bayh’s Excel Program, while Evans’ staff is fighting to hang on to former Gov. Robert Orr’s A+ Education program. THAT BATTLE IS blocking a coherent education policy that will stand the test of time, and instead is pushing local schools across the policy spectrum. Thompson traced the history of this year’s legislative initiatives, pointing out the House passed an education bill that reflected the Excel Program with a few amendments and some elements of the A+ program. The Senate’s version reflects Evans’ thoughts, with some amendments, and some elements of the Excel Program. A conference committee will have to hammer out the differences.

science, art and special education, among others. ALL OF THOSE programs would be offered in each of the three buildings. Meanwhile, each of the three elementaries would operate at 80 percent of user capacity, allowing for a 20 percent increase in students. That 80 percent figure means classrooms are utilized at least 80 percent of the time by some portion of the student body, Druckemiller explained. The school board could vote on the proposed plan as soon as its April 12 meeting, though the plans are still officially considered to be conceptual.

Obituary Lida Ann Hazlett

Continued from Page I phone calls with information on Gallagher and Wiggs coming into the Putnamville post is surprisingly high, Canal said, but more evidence is needed to prove that the remains are Gallagher. “Even though our investigation is not stagnant, and even though we’re following a lot of leads, we’re going to need a lot of public support,” Canal said. WHILE THE STATE police are handling the investigation, the Putnam County Sheriff’s Department has also received information possibly linking Wiggs and Gallagher. Sheriff Gerry Hoffa told the Banner-Graphic Wednesday that his department received an anonymous letter “sometime last summer.” Hoffa said the letter “appeared to be from an irate parent.” The letter alleged that Wiggs was a drug dealer, selling to children; that he drove around in stolen cars; and that he might have killed two people. Hoffa said the anonymous tipster wrote that two people had gone into Wiggs’ house and had not been seen again. The sheriff discounted the information on the disappearances, pointing out that the two people could have left the house without being seen. The letter did not identify the two people. HOFFA TURNED THE letter over to Det. Richard Lyon for investigation. Working with the state police, Lyon checked missing persons reports and drove to the Heritage Lake home, but found no evidence of a crime, he said.
