County Jail TrustyToße - Sentenced Today George Lavem Koeing, 32. of r 3 Syracuse, is to receive his sentence today (Wednesday) in Kosciusko superior court after pleading guilty to a grand jury indictment Friday charging statutory rape. The guilty plea came from charges of having sexual relations with a 15-year-old girl being held at the jail on runaway charges while Koenig was a trusty at the jail. He had been booked on May 12 for assault and battery charges with intent and served six months as an inmate of which five were as a trusty. In his Friday plea, Koenig pleaded not guilty to the indictment accusing him of having sexual relations with a 13-year-old juvenile runaway also in custody at the jail. The two teenagers were booked at the jail on September 23. 2-To-Zl Judge Allan Rasor advised Koenig the charge carries a mandatory two to 21 year sentence at the state prison and probation officer Paul Grimme was ordered to conduct a precommitment investigation prior to the Wednesday formal sentencing. The jail incident came to light when the mother of one of the teenage girls reported to sheriff Dave Andrews after her daughter told her of the episodes reportedly taking place at the jail on September 26 and 29 Andrews ordered a complete investigation of the matter with recommendations to be made prior to the grand jury hearing which was held on October 21 and 22. Included in recommendations by the investigating committee was that the sheriff allow only authorized personnel to have access to the cell keys and the keys not be made available to a trusty at any time. The 13-year-old was to be placed in a foster home in the county for an undetermined length of time and the 15-year-old was made a ward of the court.

Veiled(Continued From Page 1) The application was filed for permission to complete work. Leaf Pick-Up Over Connolly announced there would be no more fall leaf pick-up in the town for this year. Mrs. Raymond Poynter, in the 200-block of north Huntingtai street and located on SR 13 north (A the stoplight in Syracuse, presented a petition containing 25-signatures asking for the vacating of an alley 120-foot in length at the north side of her home. A portion of this alley also runs along property owned by Carl Godfrey and the area of the town standpipe. Mrs. Poynter is state licensed for a day nursery at her home with permission to care for six to ten-children at present and expressed concern for the welfare of the children due to unnecessary use of the small portion of alley-way. It was explained Godfrey and the Poynters have cared for and beautified this area in and around the town standpipe for a great number of years at their own expense. The town clerktreasurer praised the residents in regard to their work adding it was probably one of the best cared for town areas as far as beautification. Mrs. Poynter, in her request, stated access would always be granted to the town if trucks or equipment need enter the area in question. Others Appearing Other persons appearing in behalf of closing the alley in addition to Mrs. Poynter and ' Godfrey were George Kistler. Mrs. Tom Prickett. Mrs. Jack Darr and Mrs. Ernest Rogers, all with concern of children taken to the nursery and desiring closing of the 120-foot section. Following lengthy discussion from on parties on the issue, Connolly stated he thought all town board members should be in attendance to voice an opinion before definite action was taken adding that alleys were put there for a purpose such as utilities and fire lanes, etc. As the debate became more heated when questioned as to other alleys vacated such as the one to Liberty Homes which was a benefit to the industry. Sharp said, “I think this should be cut off now as it has gone way too far,” and the topic came to a halt with the announcement from town attorney Robert Reed that a petition by the Poynters had been filed in the courts several years ago on this issue and two publications had been jnade in the newspapers. He added the

issue is “just laying there waiting for action” and that he would proceed with the matter as instructed by board members. It was then noted that not all members will be in attendance for the next regular meeting and perhaps for two meetings, thus further delaying action on the issue if all town board members need be in attendance before a decision is reached. Town Water Fire chief Tom Strickler ask ' for a progress report on work for the town water system and Sharp reported they are coming along fine with plans of completing plan A soon and setting up a plan B. Strickler expressed his concern in regard to several hydrants which need to be placed, one near the school and one in the Industrial Park feeding to Vega and Delta Homes plants. Sharp said there were sufficient funds to do so. Mrs. Lucy Garrett, secretary at the town hall, reported several complaints had been turned-in on unsteady water flow at homes in the Portland street area and it was explained the water lines had not been completed in that area. Robert Seward, owner of the new Rustic Manor Apartments located at the corner of Brooklyn and Oak streets in Syracuse, was in attendance for the Tuesday night meeting at which time the town sewage plans in the area were explained to him by the secretary in the office of the town hall during the business meeting. The paying of necessary bills was passed and it was agreed to purchase a used copier machine in excellent condition for the sum of S2OO as the present one at the town hall is not in a dependable working condition. The regular monthly meeting of the town board of trustees on December 15 will be followed by a scheduled meeting with the new township trustee. Joe Shewmon, and the advisory board prior to the January 1 oath of office.
