Polley, 95 Renollet, Howard 87 Windisch, Lloyd 70 By Tony Czuczka ASSOCIATED PRESS BERLIN Erich Mielke, who as head of East Germany's dreaded secret police and spy agency compiled vast information on Its citizenry, has died. He was 92.

Mielke died Monday at a home for the elderly, the Berliner Kwier newspaper reported. Udo Rienass, head of the Berlin registrar's office, confirmed Mielke's death but said he had no information on the cause. Officials at the nursing home would not comment. In recent years, Mielke had lived a secluded life in eastern Berlin, reportedly on a monthly pension of about $465. Jailed shortly after the collapse of East Germany In 1990, Mielke escaped punishment for shooting deaths at the Berlin Wall after being ruled too senile to stand trial.

He was East Germany's most hated man, heading the Ministry of State Security, known as Stasi, that was the key to the Stalinist regime's power until a peaceful democratic revolution toppled it in 1989: "Though he certainly intended the opposite, he made a decisive contribution to the failure of the socialist experiment on German soil," Gregor Gysi, the ex-communist Party of Democratic Socialism's leader in parliament, told the Kwier. Stasi snooped on dissidents and ordinary citizens, placed thousands of agents to spy on top Western officials and sheltered leftist Red Army Faction terrorists from then-West Germany. Under Soviet orders, Mielke's agents even kept tabs on East German communist leaders. UTILITIES Continued from Page 1 Based on those reports, Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission Chairman William D. McCarty is reassured that the power outlook is brighter this summer.

"We have a pretty high level of confidence the (electric) capacity will be there," to meet Indiana customer demand, McCarty said. Even though Indiana's power reserves are better, a regional utility council noted that for the Midwest as a whole, the reserves are slim. That cautious tone was set earlier this month In a report issued by the East Central Area Reliability Coordination Agreement. It's one of 10 regional, self-regulating utility councils created to ensure reliable power distribution. Indiana Is In the ECAR region.

Since the region only has a slight Increase In power supplies for the summer, "ECAR can still anticipate that conditions in the summer of 2000 will be similar to last summer, when available capacity margins were tight," according to the 2000 Summer Assessment of Load and Capacity. A spring heat wave that covered much of the eastern United States from Texas to New England early this month in which temperatures reached the 90s tested the ability of utility companies to meet their customer needs. McCarty noted that five new, so-called merchant plants with a total electric generating capacity of 1,660 megawatts will be available for service this summer. These are mostly gas-fired turbine peak plants, relatively small power generators only used during periods of heavy demand. Although most of these plants won't sell power directly to Indiana customers, their sale of power on the wholesale market affects everyone on the power grid, and the electricity generated may be bought by Indiana utilities.

Indianapolis Power Light in conjunction with a company called GTE Georgetown, built one such plant in Pike Township. The unit will be capable of generating 80 megawatts of electricity. In addition, IPL has leased 85 self-contained diesel generators For the BIRTHS COMMUNITY HOSPITAL SOUTH Boys AGRESTA. Mario and Brandy, GAYT0N.

FUNNIJl Buchanan Rev. included 85,000 full-time spies and 170.000 voluntary Informers. Stasi headquarters, housed In a forbidding high-rise complex In East Berlin, ran tues on several million people that are still providing revelations. Mielke, who relished appearing In public in a medal-laden white uniform, also commanded a nearly paramilitary force. "With Erich Mielke, a figure that symbolized Mr.

Mielke East Germany and international communism has died," the Berliner Zel-tung newspaper commented. Mielke had gone on trial for shootings at the Wall along with East Germany's last Stalinist leader, Erich Honecker, In 1992. Honecker also was dropped from the case for health reasons and died in exile in Chile In 1994. Mielke did not entirely escape punishment. He was convicted In 1993 in the deaths of two Berlin policemen In 1931 when he was a young communist street fighter.

After serving part of a six-year sentence, he was released in 1995. With his wife, Gertrude, Mielke lived after German reunification in a two-room apartment in a communist-era high-rise. He lost a court fight to reclaim $180,000 he amassed as Stasi chief. Residents recalled him as a quiet man occasionally seen in a wheelchair being pushed by a bodyguard. and placed them at nine substations in Marion County.

The generators have a total electric generating capacity of 70 megawatts. IPL. which serves 430,000 customers In Marlon County, estimates that at times of peak residential use, one megawatt will provide electricity to about 250 homes. Of all the utilities serving Hoo-siers, Cinergy may be in the most precarious spot. It got Into trouble with regulators and customers during last summer's heat wave when It was unable to meet Its commitment to supply power.

Later, It earned a sharp rebuke from ECAR officials because the utility had taken power off the grid that it wasn't entitled to. Cinergy also suffered a setback when utility regulators earlier this year halted construction of a merchant plant It was building in Cadiz. Like other utilities, Cinergy has negotiated special contracts with large customers, as well as improved its power generation and transmission facilities so last summer's events are not repeated. "We're in a better position than we were last summer, but factors like extreme weather and drought can still have a big Impact," said company spokeswoman Angeline Protogere. At American Electric Power, one unit of the Cook nuclear power plant in Bridgeman, Is scheduled to begin generating power again next month.

Cook had been shut down by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission In 1997. The unit about to start up will be able to generate 1,060 megawatts of electricity, three-quarters of which is for Hoosier customers, said AEP spokesman Michael Brian. In addition, he said several of the company's power contracts have expired, which means an additional 1,000 megawatts of power will be available for use by other customers. All of these measures additional electric generating capacity. Innovative contracts with large customers, and Improved communication with customers and regulators leaves McCarty feeling optimistic.

"We have a much more sophisticated fallback position than we did the past two summers," he said. Record Robert L. Ham 5210 Pappas Drive; Linda S. Ham 1110 S. Shendan Ave Philip R.

Yevgeny Khnuiov, 67, took part in 1st linkup of 2 manned spacecraft The New York Times Yevgeny Vasilevich Khfunov, an early Russian astronaut who took part in the first linkup of two manned spacecraft high above the Earth, has died at the age of 67. In reporting his death from Moscow, the news agency Itar-Tass said several of his fellow astronauts had gathered on the day of his death to mourn him. The date, place and cause of death were not given. Khrunov, then an air force lieutenant colonel who was described as the flight's research engineer, was part of the three-man crew that went into space on Jan.

15, 1969, aboard Soyuz 5. It was the first Soviet mission to be videotaped and shown on Soviet television promptly after launching, as well as during the mission. At an altitude of about 130 miles, they steered into a coordinated orbit with a single astronaut aboard Soyuz 4. The two crafts then maneuvered toward a safe docking. Then Khrunov and a colleague, Aleksei Yeliseyev, a civilian engineer, donned spacesuits and made history by transferring to Soyuz 4 after a one-hour walk in space.

The two capsules remained linked for four hours before Khrunov and the other two astronauts aboard Soyuz 4 returned safely to Earth. Previously, both the American and Soviet space programs had succeeded only in linking up manned craft with unmanned target vehicles. Khrunov had been a standby in March 1965 for Col. Aleksei A. Leonov, the Soviet astronaut who was the first man to walk In space.
