City Police A city-owned vehicle and a stateowned truck were damaged in separate accidents Tuesday, Greencastle City Police reported. A 1958 SEAGRAVES pumper truck, owned by the City of Greencastle Fire Department, sustained an estimated SI,OOO-$2,500 damage in a one-vehicle mishap at 10:20 a.m. Tuesday. Fireman Michael Burgess, 30, 801 S. Illinois St., Greencastle, was reportedly southbound on Indiana Street and attempted to make a Utum to back the fire truck into a bay at the firehouse when the accident occurred. The truck struck a wall at the fire station, Sgt Carol Boggess reported. No damage was done to the wall, police said. MEANWHILE, a 1987 GMC truck, owned by the State of Indiana Department of Highways, sustained an estimated S2OO-$ 1,000 damage in a 7:41 p.m. accident at Shadowlawn Avenue and North Jackson Street Capt Paul Wilson reported that George Trueblood, 38, 608 N. Madison St, Greencastle, was attempting to pull onto Jackson Street from Shadowlawn and did not see the state highway truck, driven by John Black, 46, 601 Anderson St, turning onto Shadowlawn. The resulting collision also caused S2OO-SI,OOO damage to Trueblood’s 1982 Chevrolet Luv. Indiana State Police Electronic equipment, jewelry and personal items valued at $550 was reported stolen in two residential burglaries that police suspect are related, according to the Indiana State Police at Putnamville. A VCR and a Zenith color TV, valued at S4OO, were taken from the William Polzin residence, 584 Gettysburg Drive, Heritage Lake. A diamond ring and some personal items, valued at $l5O, were taken from the Stephanie Sherlock residence, Route 2, Coatesville. In both instances, a similar entry was made to the homes. The burglaries remain under investigation by Trooper John Bartram.

Traver case

State Public Defender J. Michael Sauer, who now represents Traver, claimed that the videotape statements of the two girls which were played to the jury during the trial prevented trial attorney James Houck from cross-examining them. However, both of the children took the stand in the case. The six-year-old denied remembering Counselor Anne Newton, as well as denying making a videotape with Mrs. Newton. However, when shown part of the tape, the child identified herself and Mrs. Newton on the screen. HOUCK DECLINED to crossexamine the six-year-old, saying, “The scope 0f... the only thing that there is available to the defendam to cross-examine the girt is that she watched the picture and pointed to it and said, ’That’s me.* Now, within the rules of cross-examina-tion, the scope of confrontation within that limited area don’t offer much to the defendant, so on that basis, we decline. Any cross-ex-amination beyond that would be in the form of developing affirmative evidence for the state and that we decline to do.” Houck was able to question the eight-year-old in court.

slant agitation which was supposed to encourage them to move to other parts. FATHER MADE fly traps from a piece of screen wire and a half gallon fruit jar. The wire was formed into a cone with a fly-sized opening at the point This was placed under an inverted jar which was raised about a half inch so the flies could crawl under and sample the sweetener placed there for bait After feeding they moved up the cone, probably out of curiosity, and entered the jar. Somehow they were never smart enough to figure out how to leave by the way they came in. Fly paper with its sticky side up was a hazard to flies and unsuspecting people. The latter were in trouble if someone carelessly moved the paper to a chair and then plumb forgot to put it back where it belonged. TO DO A WHOLESALE job of killing flies, the folks bought some sort of yellow powder with which they “fogged” a closed room. After the time interval specified on the package, the door was opened and mother swept out the expired flies. Those who could afford them used daisy fly killers. On the sur-

The appeal also claims Traver’s 40-year prison term is “manifestly unreasonable” because it ignored the sentencing guidelines offered by the Probation Department in the pre-sentence report; that the sentence was enhanced without justification; that Traver’s repeated assertions of innocence was not a lack of remorse; and that Judge Vaughn did not consider any mitigating circumstances at sentencing, such as what Traver had managed to accomplish as a single parent AT THE FEB. 29,1988 sentencing, Judge Vaughn noted Traver had been convicted of possession jf marijuana by Clay County Court in 1978; had previously molested a Parke County girl he was babysitting; had been diagnosed as a possible pedophile; lacked remorse; was likely to commit repeat offenses; likely had repealed sex acts with the two victims; the victim’s were under 12 years of age; and that there was an unusual degree of care and planning in the commission of the crimes. All of these issues have been briefed by the attorneys in the case, which now awaits its turn in the Indiana Supreme Court’s normal rotation.

face of a small flat container filled with liquid were painted daisies with yellow centers of wick-like material which contained the lethal dosages. On hot summer evenings, flies held conventions in the cow bam, alternating their attacks between the milker and the milk giver, who kept some of the pests on the move with her tail. She kicked at places her tail was not intended to reach. WHILE TRYING to duck Old Bossy’s flying tail, the milker might be caught off guard and fail to make allowances for the flying foot which might land in the milk bucket. There were other ways to reduce the fly population, but the only one near 100 percent perfect was a heavy frost or a freeze. But somewhere and somehow enough survived to ensure perpetuation of the race for another onslaught when warm weather returned. According to one character in our neighborhood, flies didn’t always clamor to get into the house. His folks, so he said, were so poor that flies trapped inside watched their chances to get out before they starved.

Annexation

Toddson Drive: Already within city limits, sanitary sewer access will be extended in 1990 at a cost of $30,000 (again coming from the sewage department capital improvements budget). Frazier Street: Also already within city limits, sanitary sewers would be constructed in 1991 at a cost of $102,000 from the ongoing sanitary sewer capital improvement budget Medallion Drive: Area to be annexed has been revised to remove Putnam County Hospital and Heritage House Convalescent Center and exclude all property located west of U.S. 231 between the east-west portion of Cemetery Road and Jones Road. Medallion Drive sewer project would be constructed in 1992 at $122,500 from the sanitary sewer capital improvement budget. Meanwhile, Frazell’s recommended timetable suggests beginning the wastewater treatment plant and Southside interceptor sewer projects in the 1993-95 timeframe. THE CITY COUNCIL, it should be stressed, has not voted on the plan, but is scheduled to consider first reading on an annexation ordinance at a 7:30 p.m. special meeting Tuesday, July 25 at Greencastle Middle School. Expansion of the treatment plant, he stressed, is not an issue of capacity but of an additional level of treatment to be required by the EPA and State Board of Health when the city’s present permit runs out. The bulk of the expansion expense, the engineer said, would be for ammonia removal operations. “Every city and town with a wastewater treatment plant will be facing this same thing within the next few years,” Mayor Mike Harmless said. “The federal government will be placing new requirements on the City of Greencastle. We really won’t be given a choice.” Southside interceptor, a gravityflow pipe from the south and west sides to the treatment plant, is a project that would eliminate five lift stations, as well as provide for additional growth to the south of Greencastle, the mayor said. Frazell explained that the longdebated Southside interceptor is a 2.3-mile project with a 12-inch pipe at the far end and a 24-in pipe as it arrives in the plant CITY OFFICIALS ARE not counting on any grants to fund the Southside project and treatment plant expansion. The Southside project, however, is seen as a boost to both the Fbxridge project and some future annexation of West Walnut Street The mayor said the interceptor sewer work could be viewed as the city’s match portion of a grant to put sanitary sewers in Foxridge, the area south of the old Penn Central Railroad right-of-way (to be the Southern Highway location) and in between U.S. 231 and Airport Road. Meanwhile, the Farmers Home Administration has apparently indicated Foxridge may still be eligible for a grant that was originally extended in 1959, but never carried out by a previous city administration. Harmless said. “We’ve contacted Fanners Home,” he said, “and they’re aware of that commitment.” WEST WALNUT Street resident Wayne Lewis praised the city administration for trying to “clean up the acts of past administrators,

whether Democrat or Republican,” while trying to take on new jobs and aggressively plan for the future. That’s fine in theory, he said, “but the bottom line is, can we afford it?” Costs were also on the minds of Councilmen Mike Rokicki, Robert Sedlack and Tim Conway. Rokicki wondered, to verbal encouragement from the audience, if the assessment can now be absorbed, “why wasn’t it (the plan) done that way originally?” Frazell responded by noting that traditionally annexation cost are borne by the residents of areas to be brought into the city. That was his original approach, which, after three public hearings on the proposal, was obviously a sore subject among residents of the proposed annexation areas. ‘1 WAS DIRECTED in emphatic terms,” Frazell said, “to find an alternative method or not come back." Sedlack, meanwhile, asked if they are any “hidden costs” among the alternate method the city engineer has proposed. “No,” Frazell replied. “Sanitary sewers were really the main (cost) issue.” “What’s the cost to leave it as it is?” Conway queried. Frazell responded by voicing philosophical support for the growth study and the need for any city to “be in control of its own destiny." “It seems our destiny may be in the hands of the engineers and the construction people,” Conway countered in a brief rebuttal. WHILE THE ONLY up-front costs new residents would have to pay would running their lateral sewer (estimated at $6-$8 per foot) and a one-time tap-on fee of $l5O to connect to the city sewer line placed in their areas, several other additional costs would be incurred, residents pointed out Closing out a septic system, it was noted, requires filling the unit with sand. Cost estimates voiced Tuesday night were in the $l5O- - range. New city residents would also be paying city taxes (the difference between Greencastle City and Greencastle Twp. is presently $2.48 per SIOO assessed valuation) and a monthly sewage bill (roughly twice the cost of monthly water charges). CITY OFFICIALS, however, emphasized that the no perhousehold assessment is now a precedent. “Some of the areas we’re talking about,” the mayor said, “people will pay nothing because of the 504 program (which would pay hookon fees for elderly and fixed-in-come residents who qualify). “Assessment was the only negative comment I heard at City Hall, and believe me, I heard a lot of it Even though assessment may work in Terre Haute of Indianapolis, it was evident it was not going to fly in Greencastle.” And from the audience came the reply: “Amen.” IN THE ONLY OTHER nonannexation issue voice Tuesday night, local resident Leslie Hawker urged the City Council to take an active part in making buildings and businesses in Greencastle handicapped accessible. Ms. Hawker pointed to the library and a local bank as places she has had difficulty maneuvering with a wheelchair.

Funke heads DPU alumni, PR offices

Jane Brazes Funke, a 1978 DePauw University graduate, has been named to the new position of director of alumni and public relations, university officials have announced. Funke has served as a staff member of the leading liberal arts college since 1986, and she became director of public relations in January 1988. In her new role, she will focus on development of programs for DePauw’s 28,000 alumni and serve as liaison to the Alumni Association Board of Directors, while retaining her duties in public relations. SHE WILL WORK with an outstanding group of alumni who are leaders in many fields and live in all 50 states and several countries around the world. In a 1987 survey by Standard & Poor’s Corp., DePauw was ranked 11th in the nation and first in the Midwest among liberal arts colleges as the undergraduate origin of the country’s top executives. DePauw is 10th in the nation among private liberal arts colleges as the baccalaureate source for Ph.D. degrees in all fields. Following graduation from DePauw, Funke was a reporter for the The Cincinnati Post and the Rocky Mountain News in Denver. She was director of marketing and research at Frederick Ross Co., Denver’s leading real estate firm, prior to joining the DePauw staff. She did postgraduate study in business administration at Xavier University. FUNKE IS ACTIVE in the community as a member of the inmates switch at Rockville, Atterbury sites ROCKVILLE (AP) The 96 women at the Atterbury Correctional Center have been switched to the Rockville Training Center and the 112 men at Rockville have been transferred to Atterbury, the Indiana Department of Correction announced. Another 60-70 women eventually will be sent to Rockville from the Indiana Women’s Prison in Indianapolis because of overcrowded conditions there, DOC spokesman David Trowbridge said Tuesday. The reason for the shuffle between Rockville and Atterbury is that the Rockville facility, which has more space than Atterbury, is a medium-security prison, and a third of the women do not have outside work status, Trowbridge said.
