PAGE 7 THE MUNCIE STAR, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 27, 1986 Fire Damages Hospitalized Woman's Home Republicans Name Goodall Opponent Firefighters worked Monday morning to save the home of a Muncie woman undergoing treatment at Ball Memorial Hospital. The home of Helen Curry, 719 S. Hawthorne Road, sustained heavy damage, according to reports. Neighbors who were keeping an eye on Curry's home while she was in the hospital noticed the flames and called the fire department about 10 a.m., according to a fire dispatcher. One fireman reported that the neighbors tried to call the home to make sure no one was inside and got a busy signal, which led them to believe people might be trapped inside.

Neighbors and firefighters made attempts to search the house. Muncie Patrolman Jeff Leist went into the house twice looking for survivors but was driven back by smoke and flames. Leist discovered the only casualty, Curry's dog. Chief Fire Investigator Glenn Scroggins said the fire started in an alerting him to the alleged theft. Police said Rahe took about $100 worth of coffee from the company at 2015 N.

Rahe was arrested Monday and released later that day on bond. Company Trucker Is Accused of Stealing From Employer chance to score an upset. Goodall, who seeks his fifth straight 2-year term in the House, is considered unbeatable.

He is a popular black incumbent who represents the bulk of Muncie's black population. A carpenters' union organizer, Ramsey ran for the Republican nomination in district 34 in the 1984 primary election. He lost to Cowan farmer Mark Anthony by 160 votes. The following autumn, Goodall beat Anthony in the general election by more than 6,400 votes. Bowen said Ramsey's labor background might lure new voters to the Republican side.

This is only the second time the Republicans have opposed Goodall in the general election. The thinking had been that black Democrats would stay home from the polls if Goodall were assured a victory. Rice, who also is black, withdrew from the campaign in mid-July. According to state law, Republicans had 30 days to replace him. Bowen said Tuesday was the deadline to fill the vacancy, and that Ramsey beat that deadline by about a week.

While Ramsey's name will be on the ballot, Rice is listed as the district 34 candidate on a Republican brochure that is being distributed to voters. By BRIAN FRANCISCO Star Staff Reporter State Rep. Hurley Goodall, D-Muncie, has a new opponent in the November election. Stephen Ramsey will fill the vacancy on the Republican ticket created when Gary Rice dropped out of the race a month ago. Ramsey was picked last week by Republican precinct com mitteemen in RAMSEY Delaware County.

The Star learned of his selection Tuesday from an anonymous caller. "Steve called us and we're willing to give it a shot," the county's GOP chairman, Jacque Bowen, acknowledged. "The consensus was to let him try it. "It was a unanimous vote. He was the only candidate." Ramsey "understands it's not going to be an easy task," Bowen said.

"The district is Democratic and Hurley is popular and has senior-ity," she said. Ramsey seems to have little An employee accused of stealing from his employer was free on bond from the Delaware County jail.

NjL'Fl Ez ii in i long FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS LYNCH ADDRESSES KIWANIS FRANKLIN, Ind. In a speech to the Johnson County Kiwanis on Tuesday, 2nd district congressional challenger Don Lynch called on incumbent Democrat Phil Sharp to "catch up with the voters." Lynch said he felt Sharp's recent comments on the issue of acid rain showed that Sharp was out of step with the real concerns of 2nd district voters. "Though I don't minimize acid rain as a major problem," Lynch said. "It is clearly not a problem in the 2nd district." Lynch called Sharp's comments on acid rain "a feeble attempt on his part to find an issue that will allow him to have a news conference in the district." "His position on abortion is weak; his position on AIDS is totally unknown; his position on responding to the attorney general's commission report on pornography has not been heard by anyone; his position on restoring viable families in America is abysmal," Lynch said. "In short, Phil Sharp has to talk about acid rain because he has no other issue of significant interest to 2nd district voters.

"I say again that he is a political dinosaur, that he is out of touch with today's concerns and that he still believes that the solutions of the '60s and 70s will work in the '80s. The voters have time and again repudiated liberal Democrat Tip O'Neill's proposed solutions to bur nation's problems, and Phil" Sharp just doesn't understand that."
