Discussions on utility reform, the state budget and local option taxing authority were just a few of the many issues delt with by the State Senate during the 11th week of the legislative session. The Senate will soon begin debate on House Bill 1401, the socalled Utility Reform Bill of 1983. The Senate Commerce Committee substantially amended the House passed version, and it is likely that the measure will undergo further changes on the floor of the Senate. Should the Senate pass the measure, it will go to a House Senate Conference Committee to iron out the differences. As passed by the Senate Commerce Committee, the bill included provisions that would: Create the position of a deputy consumer counselor in Washington, D.C., to represent Indiana in federal rate cases; create a seven-member nominating commission to forward names to the governor of prospective Public Service Commission members; prohibit with exceptions a utility from filing for a general rate increase more than once a year; require a utility to get a certificate of need from the PSC before starting to build a power plant; prohibit gas companies from seeking automatic pass through of increased wholesale prices to consumers more often than once every three months; give the PSC the authority to immediately allow utilities to charge customers for projects under construction if it is necessary to meet local, state or federal environmental laws; and, beginning in 1985, let utilities charge for up to half of the value of all property under construction. The Senate Republican caucus had begun holding hearings on the proposed state budged for the two year period beginning July 1. The timetable for Senate consideration of the spending plan is for the Finance Committee to forward the bill to the full body on Monday or Tuesday. These bills will also go to a joint House Senate Conference Committee where agreement by both Houses will be sought.

The Senate Finance Committee considered last week a bill giving

local governments greater authority to levy local income taxes to help pay for local government costs and services. The local option program has drawn the support of local government officials from across the state, and some sort of program is expected to pass this session. In other committee action, the Senate Commerce and Consumer Affairs Committee approved a bill that would allow laid off persons to qualify for fuel assistance under Project SAFE. Under this proposal, the state office running the energy assistance program would be able to consider a laid off person’s current lack of income, even though his income over a longer period might otherwise disqualify him from being eligible for Project SAFE. During last week’s session the Senate approved measures: Repealing a state law requiring children entering kindergarten or first grade be tested for tuberculosis. Supporters stated that 80,000 tests were conducted lasy year, and only one case was found. A savings of over $1 million is expected if the bill becomes law; Authorizing school corporations to hire lay athletic coaches; Allowing beer and wine wholesalers to sell brandy. Under current law, only wholesalers with liquor-wine permits are authorized to sell brandy, and supporters of the bill argue that the change will lead to increased competition. Once again, I remind residents to contact me if they have any concerns or thoughts on issues before the General Assembly. The Senate toll free number is 1-800-382-9467.

Non-farm employment fell Nonfarm employment in Indiana fell 3.8 per cent in 1982, according to the US Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics. Within the North Central Region, also including Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin, nonfarm employment fell 4.4 per cent as compared to 2.3 per cent nationally. William E. Rice, Regional Commissioner for the Bureau in Chicago, said that although the region contains about one-fifth of the jobs held nationally, it accounted for one-third of the 2,126,000 jobs lost last year. The employment cuts were widespread, affecting all major industry sectors except services. Hardest hit were manufacturing industries where employment fell 509,000 or 10.8 per cent, accounting for three out of every four jobs lost in the region last year. •>’ R Y LAST ■■ DAY |ELj| APRIL l|Otl COMPLETE PACKAGi:/’* l ’\ , ’ ( $ 7 5 “ ) 1 5x7 \ Setting J 4 — Wallets • NO LIMIT ON NUMBER Os PACKAGES - FULL PACKAGES ONLY • PROFESSIONAL PORTRAITS ON KODAK PAPER • YOUR SELECTION OF POSES • SINGLE SUBJECTS OR GROUPS • HQ.

Fishermen break state records m 1982 “If records were made to be broken, then 1982 was a banner year for state fishermen,*’ stated Jim Ridenour, director of the Department of Natural Resources. According to Ridenour, eight state records toppled when trophy fish were submitted for brown trout, lake trout, muskellunge, paddlefish, tiger muskellunge, steelhead trout, sucker and striped bass. Ridenour also indicated that several more state records could have been broken if fishermen had recognized that they caught trophy-sized fish or had taken time to report fish. Entry blanks and rules are printed in every fishing regulations booklet. The Fish of the Year program was held to recognize outstanding fish in each of the 41 divisions that range from Atlantic salmon to yellow perch. Top honors were awarded to 20 fishermen who entered exceptional catches in 1982. Police report given at Syracuse Syracuse police department’s chief, William R.

TODAY’S QUESTION: What’s the most important thing about Easter? Results of last week's question: Should the Milford Town Board have fluoride put into the town's water? We just moved here from a town were they had fluoride in the water. We have children now 22 and 17 and the 22-yeor-oM has never had a cavity in his life, the 17-y ear-old has only had one cavity and that was in his baby teeth before we moved to the town that had the fluoride. I definitely think the board should ok the treatment for Milford. And. don’t take the work of one dentist, talk to others. There are more for it than against it, our dentist makes it a recommendation... I’m against it. Most responsible parents see to it that their children get fluoride treatments once or twice a year with regular dental check-ups. Also, it’s in some toothpaste (giving the individual) the choice of fluoride or not. Besides. I don’t like the taste of fluoridated water... Na 1 don’t. I have no scientific reasons why. but I’m interested in health food and 1 am convinced personally that it’s not g00d... Oh yes! Oh yes! I think they need to put something in there... I think it would be all right... I don’t know, we don’t have city water ... Well, yes. if it helps it (the water). It doesn’t smell so great right now ... 1 really don’t have much of an opinion. I’ve always been on well water ... Yes I do. I think it would be good health wise and fluoride is good for your teeth ... I don’t know because we don’t have city water, so for me, I don’t know one way or the other.

It happened ... in Milford

IB YEARS AGO. MARCH 21.1973 A picturesque snow fall which started early Friday night in the Lakeland area with flakes as large as half dollars, turned into one of the worst snow storms of the winter dumping six to 12 inches of snow. High winds, gusting up to 60 miles an hour, whipped the wet snow into impassable drifts, stranding motorists for miles. Milford residents too joined the hundreds of communities throughout northern Indiana in digging out the forepart of the week after the sudden snow storm which brought week end activities to a stand still. The snow which began to fall late Friday night and continued throughout Saturday made highway travel almost impossible after the high winds formed mountainous drifts. Many roads were closed before sunset on Saturday. The storm reminded residents of the April 16,1961 storm which had similar affects. 20 YEARS AGO. MARCH 21.1963 One would never know today is the first day of spring, looking at the weather outside. Snow accompanied by strong north winds, began early last evening and wouldn’t let up until four to six inches had been accumulated. Drifting was reported on country roads. Light snow continued this morning. The annual Milford junior and senior high school spring concert will be presented tomorrow evening (Friday) at 7:45 in the Milford community building. The high school band and chorus, the intermediate band, all under the direction of Joseph Judkins, and the junior high choir, under the direction of Mrs. Maris Kneeland, will comprise the program. Jack and Joellen McClintic held a surprise birthday party Saturday evening for Phil Weisser who was celebrating his 18th birthday and for Debbie Levernier who celebrated her 15th birthday. The 34 guests were served light refreshments throughout the evening which
