THE TIMES, Wednesday, October 11. 1989 5.7 Clay will run for second county term Judge James Moody "finds he is a victim By PETRALUKE TnwtSaffWnMr CROWN" POINT Lake County Commissioner Rudolph Clay, D-Gary, will run for a second, four-year term next year. In making the announcement Tuesday, Gay, 53, said, 1 think I have been productive, accountable, accessible and effective, and I feel the people should have the best representative for the -next four years." Clay said his priorities for the next four years include bringing foreign trade to the Gary Regional Airport in the form of air freight; supporting a county-wide recycling project; continuing the push to bring the about "$18 million" on the Lake County Jail remodeling project Clay teamed up with Commissioner Ernest Niemeyer, R-Lowell, to block the recommended $22 million project The scaled-down project, which ia under way now, is about $1 million over its original price. Revenues from the Gary parking garage, a county-owned facility next to the Lake Superior Courthouse in Gary, have increased greatly. Clay said.

In 1986, $9,600 was collected from people who parked in the garage, he said. In 1988, those revenues grew to $22,000, and are projected to hit about $35,000 this year. Gay said. ognized him as the man in a composite drawing made from information provided by witnesses who said they saw Stephenson in an area of the courthouse that's closed to the public. If Stephenson is found guilty, he could be sentenced to a maximum three years in prison and fined up to, $10,000.

Because Stephenson has a prior burglary conviction, the charges carry a more severe maximum penalty than for a first conviction. Stephenson did not say he took the wallet, but he allegedly told police where it could be found and led them to the site. They recovered Moody's billfold, his credit cards and identification, but about $200 was missing. The case was handled by the Peoria police. Federal Bureau of Investigation and the General Services Administration, the federal bureau responsible for the management of federal buildings.

The issue is expected to come up on the Nov.

7 agenda. Councilmen Frances Dupey.D-Hammond; Robert Crossk, D-Hobart; and Sydney Garner, R-Crown Point, voted to appropriate $539,700 so the first 150 of the 600 needed could be bought over the next four years. Councilmen James A. Fleming D-Gary, and Richard Galambos, D-Griffith, voted against the move, and Councilman George Van Til, D-Highland, abstained. The proposed purchase has been kicked around by the council at workshops over several months.

The total cost for the 600 machines is $2,122,800, to improve programs Court County Division judge ships up for election next year. When Clay campaigned in 1986 for the 1st District commissioner's seat then held by N. Atterson Spann D-East Chicago, he promised to increase the number of Hispanics employed in the county. He said he has kept that promise, appointing several to boards such as the Job Training Partnership, the Economic Opportunity Council, the East Chicago Library Board and the Community Corrections Board Clay said he has "been vigilant" on affirmative Other accomplishments, he said, include saving taxpayers own budget," Galambos said. Van Til said he'd like to see how buying the machines fits into the council's overall spending priorities.

He also told Antich he wanted to see the lower election costs reflected in revised budget requests. Van Til also said if the machines are bought over three or four years, there needs to be some kind of agreement spelling out which towns and cities will get the machines first. He said he doesn't want to see a city or town using half of one kind of machine and half of the other kind. 14 KARAT GOLD JEWELRY AT REFLECTIONS WQODMAR MALL 845-9678 BROADWAY SHOE REPAIR "Shoes Repaired While You Wait" Expert orthopedic work-cleaning and refinishing Repair leathers tegs Monday thru Saturday 9W a.m. lo 5:30 p.m.

Clay said he also will continue openness and fairness in awarding county contracts and in hiring county employees. Another of his goals, he said, is to see a black judge elected next year.

He said he supports Lake County Deputy Prosecutor Bernard Carter, who is running for one of three Lake Superior according to the only successful bid county commissioners opened a few months ago. Lake County Clerk Robert Antich said once the machines are bought, the county could save about $200,000 a year on election costs such as printing ballots and other supplies, moving machines, and the number of people needed to canvass. Antich urged councilmen to "get rid of the dinosaurs we now have," referring to the old "iron horses" that have been used in Lake County for years. Galambos said he wants to see a financial plan for the buy and for cost reductions. "We're in a jail (remodeling) project now that's had a 10 percent overrun.

Obviously, that's due to poor planning. I wouldn't want to see that again," he said. "If you want these machines that badly, Mr. Antich, you should make reductions in your first three classes.

One of those ways is a five-year, $12 million capital campaign started last year under the direction of Beaumont Davison, who retired as president in June. Nearly $7 million has been raised so far to fund a student center, boost faculty salaries and scholarships and reduce debt at the campus.

The university has been operating at a deficit and has had to dig into its $9.1 million endowment. Its 1989-90 budget is about $10 million, $1.5 million of it for. student financial aid.
