Indiana Editions THE COURIER.JOURNAL TIMES, SUNDAY, MAY 6, 1973 Indiana i I iv Has nine years' experience 7 Cv 'fif Young city planner prepares to move into top post in New Albany agency FRANK LIND Planning job has been his long time goal Jit flfe I mm jymftA wf i ll 7 4 T1 rffif '-'v'cS Lind said it would be presumptuous to assume that the 11-member Plan Commission will name him executive director next month. However, he knows of no other applicants and knows of no one who doesn't want him to have it, he said. But until then, Lind is reluctant to discuss any long-range plans he may have for the planning commission. "I have some ideas that I think will help the office to better coordinate with other departments," he said, noting that he has "filled practically every job in the office." 'A sound planning program He said he won't necessarily do things the way Walte who has been his boss since he first went to work for the commission would do them. "I don't think you'll find two planners who will agree 100 per cent on everything," he said.

If he takes over the planning commission, he'll be happy that it is New Albany's commission he's heading. "I think we have a sound planning program; we have a strong commission and a good board of appeals," he "I'd say we're progressing at a better rate than most communities in the area." He is glad, too, that New Albany is a part of the Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA) of Louisville, since many studies of transportation, recreation, land use, housing, water and sewer facilities, and other areas in which planning commissions are deeply involved, are being made. "Basically, what we as planners have to do is determine what types of improvements, what new transportation links, for example, would help people live in a community and move not only in the quickest manner but in the most economical manner," he said. Lind said he believes all city planning should be done with "the people" in mind. By LARRY WILKERSON Caurlar-Jaurnal ft Timtt Staff Writer Although he's all set to take over one of New Albany's most important city agencies the Plan Commission Frank Lind is not your ordinary young-man-on-the-way up.

At 25, Lind has been in and out of three colleges and racked up nine years experience in his field while earning a degree and preparing himself for a job he's wanted since he was barely out of high school. He was, as a matter of fact, still in high school in September 1964 when he went to work for the Plan Commission, spending half of each weekday as an apprentice draftsman and half as a New Albany High School senior. When Charles Walte Jr. resigned recently after nine years as executive director of the commission, he named Lind acting director and left no doubt that he wants the young man to replace him. As a student-draftsman, Lind thought of becoming an architect, but that was before he knew much about the city planning business.

Job as a draftsman VIn May 1965 Lind enrolled at Indiana University Southeast (IUS) in Jefferson-: Ville part-time while holding down a full- time draftsman job at the Plan Commission. September 1966, Lind said during a recent interview, he had decided he "wanted to be a city planner. He enrolled at Ball State University in Muncie, which offered a degree in regional planning, and went to school full-time until June 1968. At that time the New Albany Plan was ready to put the finishing touches on a comprehensive planning program and Lind wanted to be part of it. He went back to work at the New Albany agency as a planning technician and took some courses at IUS.

Later, he returned to Ball State, where he studied when he wasn't working as chief draftsman for the Muncie Plan Commission. From there, he took a part-time job as study director for the Madison Council of Governments in Anderson and studied full-time at Ball State. When Lind heard in November 1970 that New Albany's chief planner Frank Shipman had resigned, he wanted to go home. "I was pretty anxious to get back to New Albany," he said. "People sometimes knock their hometown, but they don't realize, really, what they have until they get away for a while." The Plan Commission hired Lind to replace Shipman and Lind enrolled as a part-time student at the University of Louisville, where he was graduated in August 1972 with a bachelor's degree in sociology.

The Louisville school offered no planning degree. Three months before he graduated, Lind was promoted to city building commissioner responsible for enforcing zoning ordinances and building and housing codes. "But a lot of the time, I consider it almost a complaint department," said Lind, who now is doubling as building commissioner and acting director of the Plan Commission.

Four die in accidents on Indiana highways Some readers domft care munch for omit opinions, Of course, if you agreed with everything we say editorially, it would just mean we hadn't said much. We think one of the most important things we do as newspapers is to provide a place for expressing all kinds of opinions, on all kinds of matters. Our opinions, and others'. (Including those that strongly disagree with ours.) And that's exactly what we do. Every day.

On the Opinion page and the page opposite it. But that brings up another point. Some people think newspapers use news stories to further their editorial stances. We don't. If a story appearing on our news pages is not "straight news," we put a "label" on it.

It immediately tells you that the story contains commentary, opinion, analysis, background information with opinion, or something that makes it other than straight fact or news. Otherwise it's a news story, and you can be assured it's just that. A news story, based on the facts. And if we get those wrong, we'll print a correction. We make mistakes.

But we don't make the mistake of trying to disguise what we think as news. on the motorcycle, Joe Lancaster, 16, Rochester, was injured seriously. Charles Smith, 52, Ashley, was killed yesterday in a car-train accident on Ind. 327 st Helmer in Steuben County. Police said the driver apparently failed to see flashers at the crossing.

Not counted in the traffic toll was the death yesterday of Mark D. Hunger, 2, Milan, Rt. 2. Police said he was run over when he ran behind a truck backing from the driveway of a neighbor's home. Associatad Prnt Weekend traffic accidents have killed four persons in Indiana.

One person was killed in a one-car accident on Ind. 28 near Hobbs in Tipton County late yesterday. Police said no details were immediately available. Janet B. Sole, 16, Carmel, was killed yesterday in a one-car accident on a Hamilton County road near Carmel.

Police said she lost control of the car and it veered off the road and struck a tree. She was alone in the auto. A car-motorcycle crash on Ind. 10 near Culver yesterday killed Jack Davidson, 17, Leiters Ford.

Estimated employment was up 26,500 over March, however, with 1,975,700 workers on the job. A 2,200 drop in unemployment to 79,100 was not enough to change the seasonally adjusted rate. (iracelanb's JJUhfl Arsonists destroy covered bridge RIDGEVILLE, Ind. (AP) The last of three covered bridges built in 1883 in Randolph County, Ind. was destroyed early yesterday by arsonists, Sheriff Dan Reed said.

Reed said the Old Emmettsville Road bridge, a favorite with photographers and a target for restoration by the county historical society, was soaked with gasoline or fuel oil and set afire. Four fire departments battled the blaze, but the bridge was destroyed. Reed said the bridge has survived other arson attempts, vandalism and even a plot to dynamite it several years ago. Of the two other covered bridges built along with the Emmettsville structure by A. M.

Kennedy and Sons of Rushville in 1883, one was torn down in 1940, and the other was burned by juveniles in 1968.
