-Visy Recycle Inc. says it can help this city and maybe a few others with their landfill problems while collecting raw materials for its paper-recycling business. Visy has been in month-long negotiations with city officials about installing a mid-sized container in the fire station parking lot. "We would like people to bring their newspapers, corrugated cardboard, brown shopping bap and office paper to the bin," said Greg Holley, Visy's secondary-fiber manager. Visy would pay Waste Management Inc.

to haul the container to its eastside plant, where the paper would be weighed. The city would receive more than $5 for each ton of paper. "Right now we are looking to service it every 2 weeks," Holley said, "but we could do it more often if there is a lot of paper put in it." Visy would use the materials for its production of corrugated and other paper materials. Visy officials said the company would likely use about 90 percent of the paper collected from the bin. Visy Manager Terry Taschwer explained why Visy was pursuing the middle of the week.

He said the bin would have a cover to keep the wind from blowing the paper around the neighborhood. Holley said he would encourage businesses or any other civic group to collect paper and place it in the bin. "How the money will be divided up will be up to the city," he said. Taschwer said he would like to expand to surrounding cities and counties, if the program is approved and proves successful. For more information about the recycling effort, call Holley or Taschwer, (317) 348-5440.

the idea with the city. "Granted, we get the raw materials, but the community gets some money back plus it's not going out to the landfill," Taschwer said. "Right now all of the paper is going to the Blackford County. Landfill, and it's just dissipating in the ground." Recently the city had to double its monthly sanitation rates from $3.50 to $7 to meet higher rates at the county-owned landfill. Holley said he planned to present the idea for final approval to the city's board of works Monday.

If approved, he said, the bin could be in place by STAR STAFF REPORT UNION CITY, Ind. A contribution of about 30 works by Hoosier artist Frederick Polley will be on display beginning Thursday and through the end of this month in the renovated Union City Depot Carl Andry, a former philosophy professor at Ball State University, Muncie, has designated the Randolph County Art Association as the beneficiary of Polley works he has collected. Betsy Jefferis said at one time Polley lived in Union City. Polley's sketches, drawings, paintings in oils, water colors, pen and ink will be displayed. Andry is scheduled to give an informal talk about Indiana art and Polley at 7 p.m.

"Rip Nelson always appointed poll watchers, but I knew this chairman would not." Barton filed the petition with Donati on Friday, saying a list of watchers would be provided to the county clerk before Tuesday's election. She provided a list of all 55 precincts for the clerk to certify watchers. According to state law, watchers can inspect work done by the precinct board and check totals from voting machines.

They also can accompany election inspectors when they deliver election returns to the tabulation center. Nichols said Johnson and the other candidates were making a "media play" before Tuesday's election. Nichols also is supporting Landers's campaign. "I think it is ridiculous," he said. "I don't think they have any sincere desire or intention to have watchers at the polls." As chairman, Nichols appoints precinct election boards, but he said the appointments were based on the recommendations of precinct committeemen.

State law prohibits relatives of candidates from serving on an absentee voter board or precinct election board. Donati said there was no conflict between being election-board secretary and working on a candidate's campaign. "The clerk has nothing to do with appointing the precinct election board," Donati said. "It's the county chairman who does that." Donati said he did oversee vote tabulations, but the counting is handled by a computer representa Hudnut's Son Might Face More Charges NOBLESVILLE, Ind. (AP) Hamilton County authorities are investigating whether additional charges should be brought against Timothy N.

Hudnut, a son of Indianapolis Mayor William Hudnut Timothy N. Hudnut, 33, was being held without bond in the Hamilton County Jail on charges of battery and violation of a court order. Deputy Prosecutor Jim Rosenberry, who is handling the case, was in court Friday and not available for comment. The charges stem from an incident April 26 in which Hudnut is accused of battery in an attack on a former girlfriend who had a court order to keep him away, according to Hamilton County Prosecutor Steven R. Nation.

Hudnut received the court order at a March sentencing in Hamilton County Court following a June 1990 incident in which he broke a window at the home of Michelle Winters near Carmel, according to court records. In August, Winters urged the prosecutor's office to pursue charges against Hudnut. Hudnut pleaded guilty to criminal mischief on March 26. He received a $100 fine, a 90-day suspended jail sentence, was ordered to pay $172 in restitution and was placed on probation for a year. Hudnut also was ordered to stay away from Winters.

On April 26, Hudnut reportedly returned to Winters's home southwest of Carmel where they argued, Nation said. Hudnut allegedly pushed and kicked the woman. He was arrested on a misdemeanor count of battery but was released from the jail after posting bond. "It was a fluke where the Sheriff's Department didn't realize this was the same guy who was on probation," Nation said Thursday. Hudnut went to the probation office Tuesday morning to discuss his criminal mischief conviction.

He then was charged with battery and violation of probation and was taken to jail. Nation said, "We're trying to get ahold of the victim to see if any other things happened to see if any additional charges need to be filed." On Wednesday, Mayor Hudnut released a statement through his aide, Dave Arland. Hudnut said of his son, "He's leading his own life and I don't know the particulars of what happened." $2495 1- 10x13 Wall Portrait, 2- 8x10, 3-5x7s, 13 Wallets and 16 Portrait Petites I 1 mo-n wmmmmmm 11 2-BxlUs Price includes $2 deposit payable at time of sitting.

"I'm very proud of these guys," Kinder said. "There's just not enough to say about. them.
