2A THE DES MOINES REGISTER July 30, 1983 REOIITEH PHOTO SY WARREN TAYLOR Some of dogs shot earlier by neighbors Iowa justice refuses to lift betting injunction Tlw mdin Preu An Iowa Supreme Court Justice Friday refused to lift an injunction banning enforcement of a section of the state's new pari-mutuel betting law. Justice Arthur McGiverin said the injunction, should stay in place, claiming that lower courts have wide discretion in granting such relief. The injunction was issued in a suit brought by a group of Council Bluffs messenger services and prohibits the state from enforcing a ban on off -track betting. The messenger services run bets from Iowa to tracks in Nebraska and they said the off-track betting ban would put them out of business. In seeking the injunction, attorneys for the messenger services say the of -track betting ban should not be enforced until the lawsuit is resolved.

A Pottawattamie County district judge agreed and issued the Injunction. The state appealed the ruling and McGiverin heard arguments earlier in the week. While McGiverin said the injunction should stay in place, he urged the lower court to speed the trial process as much as possible, claiming it is important to take care of the issue quickly. He did not, however, set an earlier trial date. A spokesmen said Attorney General Tom Miller is pleased with that part of the ruling, but disappointed McGiverin left the injunction in place.

"We're glad to have the trial process quickened," said spokesman BillRoach. Lawyers for the state have argued that the law is under a cloud as long as the injunction is in place. i if Liquor store decision upheld Time out to cool off Marietta Almendinger of Dexter and Paul Regnier of Friday after a humid morning of bicycling on RAG-Indianola splash into a quarry pond east of Center Point BRAI-X1.

In case you want to know exactly what it takes to ride 105 miles on a bicycle, I kept track: four coffees, two glazed doughnuts, two cinnamon rolls, two hamburgers, eight lemonades, two Mountain Dews, one Pepsi Light, a kiss from an 18-year-old girl in Rein beck and True Grit Tm so proud of myself I could pop.

Jerry Trudo, a bank, vice president, argued that the present facility has proven satisfactory and the bank's bids would cost less than the winning bid submitted by DA Downing and C.R. McNamara of Anamosa. "That building is still a very attractive building," Trudo told the council. The staff said the present building would require extensive remodeling, but Trudo disputed that contention.

"That building was built to your specifications seven years ago," he said. According to department calculations, the bid submitted by Downing and McNamara would cost the department $706,534 over the next 20 years, while the bank bids would cost 1695,498, $732,681 or $735,904, depending on the length of the lease and the amount of remodeling required. Staff members recommended acceptance of the Downing and McNamara bid because they said it provides a new building, a better location and the second-lowest cost Trudo questioned the staff cost calculations and said the present site at the east edge of Anamosa serves rural residents better. Also Friday, the council was told that chilled wine sales at the new Ames liquor store have exceeded expectations and account for nearly 13 percent of all sales at the 4-month-old facility. The Ames store is the first and only state liquor outlet to offer chilled wine, and Dennis Mitcham, the de By CHARLES BULLARD Rvftsttr Stiff WiHw A staff decision to move the state liquor store in Anamosa was upheld Friday by the Iowa Beer and Liquor Control Council.

The council agreed with the staff of the Iowa Beer and Liquor Control Department that the Anamosa store should be moved from a leased building at 102 Chamber Drive, where it has been since 1976, to a new leased building to be constructed to agency specifications on Dubuque Road.

Thousands of riders on the Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa-XI rode 105 miles Thursday from Grundy Center to Manchester on zero sleep. Rain began falling in Grundy Center at about 9 p.m., gently at first then harder and harder as squsll lines moved through with thunder and lightning. At about 11:30, the wind picked up to a howl, blowing tents down and bending poles.

One camper said he looked out and saw his son's dome tent rolling away with his son inside it yelling for help. Irving Stone of West Des Moines Continued from Page One to locate the dogs. "We shot 37 dogs," the sheriff said. "Puppies and everything. They were just mongrels all colors, white, black, brown you name it." Asked whether the dogs could have been taken somewhere instead of being shot, Jahnel said Ingamells had been given that option.

But he said it was too much to expect him to catch 37 dogs. Ingamells said in an interview that she had planned to sell the dogs to the armed forces. She said she wasn't around when the sheriff arrived at her farm. "I wasn't here. I ran away," she said.

Mitchell County doesn't have an animal control officer, although some of its cities do. The deputy auditor said complaints about dogs are referred to the sheriff, who sometimes takes them to area veterinarians. The deputy auditor, who asked not to be identified, said Ingamells' dogs weren't licensed. She agreed with Jahnel that shooting them was the only practical solution. "You're talking about 37 dogs," she said.

"What are you going to do?" Although the sheriff had received complaints the dogs had killed livestock he said neighbors shot a couple of Ingamells' dogs earlier for that reason the deputy auditor said no one had filed claims with her office seeking compensation for their dead animals. Another St Ansgar resident who knows Ingamells but asked not be identified said the shooting probably was "the best thing that could happen to the "Thirty-seven dogs," she said. "Can you imagine?" But the woman added, "It's sad, isn't it?" Aliens arrested inCoralville CORALVILLE, IA.

He had neglected to stake the corners down. A lot of grumbling and grousing was heard in the camping area as riders rolled and packed sopping gear and mounted their bikes for the long ride. This time, the weather cooperated. Clouds covered the sun and the wind blew from the rear almost the entire day.

But I'll be polos BRAI-XI that I missed Donald KauL I really missed him. You see, Iowa Boy got into town Thursday at the same time I did. Kaul wouldn't have done that. If Kaul were on this ride, he would still be out on the road. Even at this very moment, as I am writing this at 5 p.m., Kaul would have been struggling along somewhere out there 20 or 30 miles from town, not even hoping to reach Manchester before 7 or 8 p.m.

Kaul respected the mythology of RAGBRAI. He knew it was Important to preserve the tradition that I always beat him into town. He hated it but knew it was important What does Iowa Boy know of mythology, of tradition, the callow upstart? Why, he doesn't even know how to dress right or shift his gears yet Even so, one experienced cyclist commented that he rides better than Kaul. "At least Of enburger can pedal and talk at the same time," the cyclist said. This year's ride is about over.

I'll get Iowa Boy next year. There were surprisingly few food stands along today's route. Jn Reinbeck, breakfast things were served by the Presbyterian Church, the firemen and Fire-Ettes, the Chamber of Commerce and the Methodist Church women. Along the way stood the Blessing Rosary Society. In La Porte City, food stands were operated by American Lutheran Church, St.

Then came the Brandon Methodist Ladies Aid and Jaycee-ettes, Benton County Amateur Radio Club, the Urbana Fire Department and auxiliary, Iowa Rails to Trails (urging bikers to take the trail into Center Point), the Troy Mills Fire Department, the North Linn United Methodist Church and the Coggon Lions Club.

A holdup that helps you NORFOLK, VA. A P) When the physical therapist told the arthritis sufferers in his class to stick-'em-up, they knew he meant to raise their arms. But a passer-by apparently thought a holdup was in progress. The folks at the Secure Neighborhood Urgent Care Center were surprised to look out their windows Thursday night and see the building surrounded by police with guns drawn. Dr.

David Cundiff, an emergency medical specialist at the center, said he saw officers covering the building by the front door, the back door and from a lot across the street. The doctor said he knew one of the detectives and was able quickly to convince him that the students were loosening their Joints not their change. Cundiff said the class had been practicing raising their arms, but someone looking in through a window had reported to police that the students were being robbed. partment's store operations manager, said customer reaction to the coolers has been extremely favorable. Mitcham said he would like to put wine coolers In larger state liquor stores because they quickly pay for themselves through increased sales.

However, George Price, the department's deputy director, said the agency will not seek money for more coolers unless a task force appointed by Gov. Terry Branstad recommends the expenditure. Price said the coolers have drawn flak because some Iowans believe they encourage wine sales. Iowa church lawsuit settled out of court WASHINGTON, IA.
