Her husband, -y 3 bodies recovered from lake in Christian- From Staff and Special Dispatches HOPKINSVILLE, Ky. The bodies of three hunters, missing since Saturday, were recovered Tuesday from Lacy Lake in Christian County. I Christian County Coroner Dorris Lamb said the deaths of Kenneth N.

Lee, 30, of Crofton, his son, Bradley N. Lee, 14, and Thomas Page 35, of Hopkinsville, were accidental drownings. Officials said the three and two other men were on a camping and hunting trip. When they heard their dogs barking across the lake Saturday night, the three started across the lake in their boat. When they had not returned by daybreak, their companions contacted the sheriffs department.

The bodies were recovered about 150 yards from shore in eight feet; of water. Christian County Sheriff Tom Scillian said recovery of the bodies confirmed that a combination of fog, water temperature and what the victims were wearing miners' helmets and heavy battery packs made it impossible for them to swim to shore. He said it was not clear why the boat capsized. Lee is survived by his wife, the former Cindy Wells; another son, Jarrod L. Lee; his parents, Billy and Loretta Lee of Crofton; a brother, Ricky Lee of Hopkinsville; a sister, Fayette Schott of Canton, Ohio; and a grandmother, Nora Lee of Hopkinsville.

Funeral, 1 p.m. Friday, Prewitt New Castle Fu By SHELDON SHAFER Staff Writer With Kentucky Kingdom's attendance and income at season's end well ahead of last year's totals, the operators say they will pour all of a substantial profit back into the amusement park's development. For next spring there will be a new six-acre, $5 million water park and a $3 million Belgian Village that will have two major new rides. Another addition will be a 150-foot high, $2 million ferris wheel overlooking the water park; the nearest wheel that big is at Cedar Point in northern Ohio. In late September Kentucky Kingdom ended its second season under Hart King the partnership that owns 92 percent of the park at the Kentucky Fair Exposition Center.

Hart King partners are Louisville businessman Ed Hart and his wife, attorney Gaylee Gillim. Attendance for 110 dates was 301,000, and another 450,000 toured the park when it was part of the Kentucky State Fair midway. The attendance last year, when the park opened late, was 137,000 for 55 days, not counting the fair. The park's 1991 revenue reached $6 million double the 1990 figure and profits were "in the low seven digits," Hart said. The park's lease calls for it to pay the Kentucky State Fair Board 5 percent of all revenues over $3.25 million.

Last year the park did not hit that figure; this year it will pay, but the amount won't be known until after an audit. Fair board president Dwight Butt said fair officials are pleased with Kentucky Kingdom's progress. "The park has proved very popular. It has been a real boon to the community," he said. Hart said Kentucky Kingdom's 1992 attendance is projected to surpass 500,000 for the regular season and 1 million when the 11-day state fair is included.

Revenues next year are projected to reach $10 million, with profits of $4 million to $5 million, less depreciation and debt payments. Hart credited this past season's growth to the addition of new rides, including The Quake and, for the first full season, Thunder Run. Kentucky Kingdom's general admission this year was $12.95. Next -GAMES. MERCHANDISE CHILDREN'S POOL ENTRANCE FROM PARKING CHANGING ROOMS, GIFT SHOP LOCKERTUBE FIRST RENTAL AID STAFF ILLUSTRATION BY WES KENDALL year it will go to $14.95 but for that, visitors will have full access to the new water park and the Belgian Village.

Those who want to visit only the water park can get in for a separate $5 or $6 admission; the price hasn't been set. The water park will have a separate entrance off the fairgrounds parking lot. The optimistic 1992 outlook is based largely on the new rides. The water park is not yet named but will have a Caribbean theme. Ocean Avenue will be a 6-foot-high boardwalk around much of the water park's perimeter.

Along the boardwalk will be game booths, food stands and gift and souvenir outlets. The water park activities will require a swimsuit. Changing rooms and tube rentals will be near the new entrance. In the center of the water park will be a wave pool, with hydraulics that will make waves up to 8 feet high believed to be the biggest man-made waves at any amusement park. A "lazy river" ride will offer visitors a quiet inner-tube drift around a long, circular water course.

The interior of the water park "the beach" will be available for sunbathing. A volleyball court and stage are included in the water park. A children's water area, dubbed "Barefoot Cove," with spraying fountains as well as another large lake with an island will be part of the landscape. A water-slide complex with three to six slides will be on the south side of the water park. Some of the slides may be open next season, but the complex won't by fully developed until 1993.

The water park will close most days at 7 p.m. On Saturday nights the park will be open from 9 p.m. to around 1 a.m. for an adults-only "luau" featuring music, volleyball and other activities. The Belgian Village will include a new bumper-boat ride and a "Himalayan" ride, best described as a "rolling toboggan." The village will have its own refreshment stands, including one that will sell Belgian waffles, and a gift store.

Hart said in the older part of Kentucky Kingdom the main addition next spring will be a new kiddie train. enterprise carries a sentence of 20 years to life and a $2 million fine. Others convicted of the same conspiracy and possession charges as Murr were several Knoxville-area associates of his: Robert William Phibbs, 12 counts; Diane Whited, four counts; and Raymond Huck-leby, 10 counts. Kenneth Ray Lawson of Lexington, fled after he was indicted and has not been found. He was convicted in absentia of 11 charges.

Wilhoit issued a directed verdict of acquittal for Lawson's wife, Mary. Hazard, resident Bill Baird was found innocent of all charges. Assistant U.S. Attorney Francis Catron told jurors the network fell apart when the owner of a restaurant in Berea, just off the interstate saw a suspicious transaction in her parking lot. A search by Berea police turned up $124,000 in cash in the trunk of Victor Manuel "Tony" Rojas Trujil-lo, a native of Colombia who lived in New York.

Rojas was convicted of 12 counts of conspiracy and possession. Catron said Rojas made trips at least monthly to other exits along the interstate from Berea to Lexington to exchange "kilogram quantities of cocaine" for cash from Murr's representatives. I J.

A month-long trial that ended in U.S. District Court yesterday closed a "drug pipeline" along Interstate 75 that funneled cocaine from New York suppliers to eastern Tennessee and Kentucky, federal prosecutors say. The indictment, which named 13 people, outlined a conspiracy to distribute 136 pounds of cocaine. Only eight of the 13 defendants were brought to trial and one of those is a fugitive; six were convicted. Prosecutors offered plea agreements to the five other people indicted, three of whom testified in exchange for a recommendation for lower sentences.

U.S. District Judge Henry Wilhoit set sentencing for Jan. 2. The prosecution said the biggest fish was Robert Dale Murr, a Knox-ville, businessman already in a federal prison for another drug conviction. Murr was found guilty of conspiracy to distribute cocaine, 10 counts of actual possession or aiding and abetting and one charge of carrying on a continuing criminal enterprise.

All of the charges except the last one carry potential penalties of 10 years to life in prison and $4 million fines. The conviction for criminal Highway. Visitation: after 2 p.m. Thursday. Cornelia R.
