Do I have to pay federal income tax on the life insurance proceeds I received J recently as the beneficiary of my husband’s /■ insurance? —Z_ nifW4*r Very probably the insurance money you received is exempt from federal income taxation. Insurance proceeds are usually paid to related beneficiaries for the purpose of providing funds after the death of the insured. However, if the insurance money was paid to you in satisfaction of a debt or for some other valuable consideration then all of a portion of the money must be included in your gross income for federal income tax purposes. This applies also to death benefits paid under accident and health insurance policies. As a general rule, therefore, the money is tax exempt if you are the surviving spouse or a relative of the insured and the insurance proceeds were paid in a lump sum to you as the beneficiary of the policy.

City Police A pair of minor accidents were reported Tuesday by Greencastle City Police. A two-vehicle mishap occurred at 4:49 p.m. at First and Martinsville streets, Capt. Paul Wilson reported, as Shaun Martin, 16, Route 1, Fillmore, was southbound on First Street, attempting to turn west onto Martinsville Street. POLICE REPORTED that Martin said he was eating french fries at the wheel of his 1988 Ford and did not turn sharp enough to clear another vehicle stopped at the stopsign. Martin put his car in reverse, police said, and backed into a southbound 1978 Buick, driven by R. Nancy Nickerson, 29, Route 3, Cloverdale. Nickerson was also waiting to turn onto Martinsville Street Damage to both vehicles was estimated at S2OO-$ 1,000. MEANWHILE, AT 6:57 p.m. Tuesday, a car-deer collision caused an estimated $2,500-$5,000 damage to a 1979 Chrysler Newport, driven by Sallee Bartlett, 1309 Albin Pond Rd., Greencastle. Mrs. Bartlett told Capt. Wilson and Officer Jeff Hampton that a deer entered the roadway on Albin Pond Road, 75 feet west of Castleton Drive. The animal was struck by the front of the Bartlett car and bounced up into the windshield of the vehicle. The deer was killed by the accident. Mrs. Bartlett was uninjured. Greencastle Fire Dept. No damage was listed resulting from a grass fire of unknown origin in a Cemetery Road field owned by Keith Berry. The Greencastle Fire Department responded at 2:16 p.m. as mutual aid to the Cloverdale Fire Dept, and returned to station at 3 p.m. Two GFD volunteers spend four hours on standby at the old zinc mill plant while a salvage crew was at work cutting metal on the mostly-sawdust floor.

was convicted of driving while suspended and he allegedly still owes $125 in fines and court costs from that case. In 1989 Wilcox was charged with perjury, escape and criminal mischief, along with non-support of his children. The first three counts were dropped in exchange for his guilty plea on the non-support charge. However, that is the agreement Lowe is now seeking to rescind. Similarly, no new trial dates have been set for Larry, Terry and Jeff Stock, who are accused of stabbing two men outside The Pub tavern, 713 S. Main St., Greencastle, on Nov. 12. DEFENSE ATTORNEY Robert Hammerle, an Indianapolis lawyer, filed a motion for continuance in all three cases. He claims he received some discovery material from Lowe for the first time Tuesday afternoon and thus does not have adequate time to prepare his case. Hammerle also wrote in his motion that he and Lowe “did engage in fruitful and promising discussions in regard to possible alternatives in resolving this case short of trial.” Hammerle asked Judge Vaughn for more time to pursue those talks with Lowe. Hammerle also withdrew as cocounsel for Jeff Stock, citing an unspecified conflict of interest. In his notice to the court, Hammerle noted the conflict does not exist with Larry and Terry and so he will continue to work as co-counsel for them. THE THREE MEN and also represented by Indianapolis attorney Jeffrey A. Baldwin. Baldwin is with the firm of Baldwin, Mortenet & Clutter, while Hammerle is with

Allen, Buratz, Conway & Hammerle. Both firms are in Indianapolis. Jeff, 21, Route 1, Fillmore, was allegedly in the bar when an argument began and he telephoned Larry and Terry to “get a gun and shoot some other people” involved in the fight. He is charged with inducing battery causing serious bodily injury as a class C felony. Larry, 49, Route 1, Fillmore, is charged with battery causing serious bodily injury as a class C felony. He allegedly used a knife to slice open Vincent Sly’s arm, sending him to Methodist Hospiial in Indianapolis for treatment. TERRY ALLEGEDLY stabbed Mike Hazelgrove with a knife during the alleged fight. During Larry’s initial hearing in November, Chief Deputy Prosecutor Dianna LaViolette told Judge Vaughn the state would be filing an habitual offender count against him. She said some paperwork involving Larry’s alleged criminal history had to be done before that count could be filed. At that hearing, LaViolette told the court that Larry had previously been convicted of three separate charges of child molesting, assault and battery with intent to kill, robbery, theft, vehicle theft, felonious firing of a firearm within city limits and carrying a handgun without a license. However, Prosecutor Lowe has yet to verify that criminal history and the habitual offender charge has yet to be filed. Lowe said Wednesday morning he continues to investigate the possibility of filing the habitual offender, although he may scrap those plans if a plea agreement is reached.

Jury of teen-agers at Crawfordsville will judge peer offenders

CRAWFORDSVILLE (AP) Nearly 90 students have signed up to work in Teen Court for first-time offenders in Montgomery County ages 10-17. The first hearing is scheduled Feb. 13 in Montgomery Circuit Court. “YOU HAVE A big responsibility,” Ed Nelson, Youth Services Bureau director, told students at a recent orientation session. “A lot of people at the state and federal level will be watching to see if the program does what it is supposed to do. Our success depends on each of you.” Montgomery County is one of six sites in Indiana selected to have a Teen Court system. The program in Crawfordsville is modeled after one operating in LaPorte for nearly two years. Teen Court is offered for firsttime offenders who are guilty of misdemeanor offenses. They choose to go before their peers, who decide an appropriate consequence for the offense. THE PEERS ARE trained middle and high school students

Putnam Patter Continued from Page 1 the careless. As the days went by, more winter’s grip was released, and the mire became deeper, but until it reached down below the freeze line would the ground begin to dry out. A WHOPPER TO END all whoppers concerns a certain winter when the freeze did go far down in the direction of China. As the January thaw reached its maximum, a man started out to do his chores around the bam and premises. Before he made it across the bam lot, one booted-foot and leg became trapped, and his efforts to free it caused the other booted-foot and leg to go even farther down. The side-to-side effort continued until the poor guy was all but sitting on the ground. Rescuers, standing on wide boards, grasped him by both arms and lifted him out of the mire—minus both boots and his pants, which were unearthed later when the ground settled. Board of Health sets immunizations The Putnam County Board of Health has scheduled its next immunization program on Monday. Persons desiring immunizations are asked to contact the Board of Health (653-5210) for an appointment. Immunizations are given at the Health Office located on the fourth floor of the courthouse. The program does not include flu shots.

who serve as jurors, prosecutors, defense attorneys, bailiffs and clerks of the court under the guidance of an adult judicial officer who serves as judge. Circuit Court has jurisdiction over juvenile cases. Teen Court will intercept that process, giving offenders an option to defer out of Juvenile Court. “That is an important decision by the offender,” Judge Thomas K. Milligan told the students. “Those offenders are opening themselves up to peers and to be put on sentence. The important thing is they arc extending a great amount of trust and confidence in you.” EACH STUDENT who participates in Teen Court is sworn to confidentiality. “The reason for this is to give a teen-ager who has made a mistake a chance to get it corrected without the whole world knowing about it,” Milligan said. “IF A PERSON does wrong and violates the law, there should be a sting, a bite to that rather than just walking away,” he said.
