Sheriff's Dept A cattle theft was reported to Deputy Michael Biggs Tuesday by John Hackleman, Route 1, Bainbridge, the Putnam County Sheriff’s Department reports. HACKLEMAN TOLD Biggs that over the last several months, he has found one animal dead by no apparent means and one dead after being shot by an arrow. Others have been stolen by being trucked out of his New Maysville area farm. Estimated loss to the farmer was established at $5,000-$6,000. A burglary and theft was reported to Deputy Biggs at 2 p.m. Tuesday by Ron and Lisa Reese of rural Greencastle. The Reeses reported that a wood-burning stove had been stolen from the carport of a vacant house. Nothing else was taken. MEANWHILE, IN a vehicular vandalism case, an unknown person bent the antenna and kicked in a mirror on the car owned by James Coldron, Route 1, Greencastle. The incident occurred sometime Monday. The 1985 Pontiac reportedly sustained an estimated $75 in damage.

Department of Corrections to help curt) the jail overcrowding problem. Lyon stated that county officers will have to fix the problem one way or another because when the safety of the inmates and jail staff gets to be too much, the jail will be ordered to close. He said that several jails across the country have been forced to close because of lawsuits complaining of overcrowding. ON THE FINANCIAL end of the county, four County Council candidates voiced their opinions. Republican Jim Hendrich and Democrat Nancy Michael are competing for votes in the county’s fourth district. Hendrich stressed that in the next few months, the Council needs to take a cautious approach in spending because of the current federal budget problems. “We need to set short-range goals with flexibility and make sure we don’t take a step backward.” Michael stressed researching other avenues for grants for the county and being more cautious when people ask for money. CANDIDATES ALSO discussed the County Economic Development Income Tax. In 1989, the County Council tabled the idea and this year voted it down. The tax would provide money to Putnam County towns for capital projects. Michael said she would support it but said “the amount of the tax shouldn’t be put at the highest cent” Hendrich explained that if a short- and long-range plan were presented to the Council, he would consider favoring the tax. He said in past discussions, no plan for the tax money was presented. “I don’t think it is fair to ask you people to

opened and was unable to get inside to rob it However, he allegedly hit the CNB branch at about 2 p.m. July 20. Police at the time said the suspect rode up to the branch on a 1983 purple Honda 650 Nighthawk motorcycle, walked in armed with a small caliber black automatic handgun and made off with well in excess of SIO,OOO. HE JUMPED OVER the counter, pointed the gun at one teller, threatening her life if she did not open the bank’s vault. Once the vault was open, he loaded the money into a white plastic garbage sack and left the building without injuring anyone. The incident triggered a manhunt that lasted for more than 24 hours

Putnam Patter

Something ought to be written into the constitution of human opinion that a baby doesn’t necessarily have to resemble any near or distant blood relative. THE LITTLE NEW arrival should have the right to look like himself, and certainly he should be spared the ordeal of looking like a rich uncle who’s pocketbook was more important than his face. It must be distressing to a baby’s little pink ears to hear a chorus of opinions concerning his looks. And he must be confused when witnesses don’t agree. When he hears from one side of the house that he is the perfect picture of his mother’s side of the

pay a tax when it doesn’t have a short- and long-term plan,” he explained. THE COUNCIL candidates disagreed on the need for a child abuse investigator for the prosecutor. In recent Council budget approvals, the full-time investigator was voted down. Hendrich stated that police officers in each organization, the Greencastle Police Department, Sheriff’s Dept and Indiana State Police, are trained to handle those complaints and that the investigations should continue in their own jurisdictions. Michael disagreed. “Can we afford the money spent on each agency instead of hiring one fulltime person to do the investigating?” A veteran of the County Council, Democrat Gene Clodfelter, told the audience that when he first started in the office, officials would pad their budgets. He said now, they know where to cut. CLODFELTER IS running unopposed and has served on the Council for 20 years. He believed that the jail issue will be the top concern in the future. “It may not be mandated but we may be faced with building another facility because of a lawsuit When it comes to that point, we will decide what to do.” In setting county employee salaries, Clodfelter said the Council refers to the Farm Bureau statistical book to compare pay raises to other counties. “We’re not paying an exorbitant amount for our employees.” During the last budget approvals, the Council gave county employees a $1,200-across-the-board increase.

and included officers from virtually every police agency in the county, as well as the Indiana State Farm and several area police agencies. The search focused on a cornfield off of Round Barn Road, in the Crowe’s Bridge Area. However, officers tracked the suspect as far as Wildwood Bridge before giving up the search. CORNELOUS WAS arrested Sept. 29 in Las Vegas and has been behind bars since then. Police were called to his Marie Bradford’s apartment because of a question over the registration of her vehicle. Bradford reportedly is Comelous’ girlfriend. Her car, a black Jaguar, did not match the license plate, which had been issued for a Honda, Las Vegas

house and from the other side that he is the spittin’ image of his father’s people. This couldn’t possibly end other than in a split personality. HIS CONFUSION becomes more acute, however, when his adoring but talkative relatives begin to “take him apart” in their efforts of comparison. It must be distressing to hear he has his mother’s eyes, his father’s chin, his grandfather’s forehead, his grandmother’s ears and other assorted features which were first possessed by uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters and others of his bloodline. When baby learns that he is really not himself at all but a composite of those whose grinning

the candidate running against Max Nichols for the District 2 seat, stressed that the Council needs to be creative to find other sources of revenue for the county. HE SAID THAT that the most important priority is zoning. “It’s a major tragedy that a man from Carmel, Ind., bought 202 acres of farmland with plans to build a race track in our area when he promised he would build a golf course,” he said. “The track will destroy the beauty and peacefulness of our land.” He said he knows that many people do not like zoning but it is necessary to keep these types of facilities out of the county. He also stressed that teeth needs to be put into the zoning plan for enforcement Bookwaiter also said he wants to see two new paid sheriff’s deputies added to the staff. And that structures near downtown Greencastle could be converted to a warehouse that could help ease the jail overcrowding problem. THE ATTORNEY added that he would vote for the CEDIT tax. “Conditions in Fillmore and Bainbridge are deplorable,” Bookwaiter said. “Small towns in Indiana are dying towns and the money needs to go there.” Looking down the road, Bookwaiter thought the form of rural government would become archaic. To solve this problem, he suggested the possibility of a county executive. Bookwaiter’s opponent, Nichols, was unable to attend the debate, as were candidates Gerald Hoffa and William Stephen for the other Council seat. A SECOND PUBLIC forum will be held 7 p.m. next Wednesday-

police said. Both the Jaguar and the plate on the Honda had been listed as stolen. Bradford was also wanted by Hendricks County authorities for writing a bad check to cover the cost of the Honda motorcycle Cornelous allegedly used in the Greencastle bank robbery. THOUGH HE IS being held in Indianapolis, Comelous’ case could be transferred to the federal court in Terre Haute, according to a spokesman for U.S. Attorney Debra Daniels in Indianapolis. Comelous is due before U.S. Magistrate John Paul Godich sometime next week for an initial hearing, the spokesman said, although a firm date for the hearing has not been set

faces surround his crib, no wonder he becomes meloncholy to the point of tears. How can he have a future when from all appearances he presently doesn’t have much of a future, appearance-wise. Fortunately for the whole human race little babies change in looks as they grow to adulthood—some for the better, some for the worse. BUT REGARDLESS of whether the finished face will cause hearts to skip a beat or stop a clock, the face baby finally acquires will be accepted as his own. Maybe it will not suit him and maybe it will. Usually it stops most of this idle talk about his looking like any of his immediate ancestors.

City Council

Putnam County Hospital in 1977. The Board of Works, meanwhile, has authorized a fee not to exceed $2,800 for Triad to do engineering and survey work on the eastern portion of the Southside Interceptor route. Responding to a Martinsville Street resident’s question at the recent Council meeting, the mayor explained that the city is in the process of applying for grant funding for the Foxridge sanitary sewer project. PLANS CALL FOR the project to be finalized by 1992. “We will continue to work aggressively on Foxridge,” Harmless added, “because of the (septicrelated) problems there.” The city, he said, has also applied for Foxridge sewer funding through the Build Indiana Fund.
