Environment The Indiana Department of Environmental Management wants authority to charge fees for issuing water permits to businesses.

McCarty. that "we should not become obsessed with safety and security," because legislators have limited power to ensure either. Property taxes Pressure is growing for new state controls over property taxes. Collections have grown by $3 billion statewide since 1991, rising at twice the rate of inflation, says David J. Bennett of the Taxpayers Research Association.

Republicans will offer plans to control school construction and transportation costs, two of the fastest-rising property tax-funded expenses. But Mark Cahoon, taxation director of the Indiana Manufacturers Association, sees "a political interest in keeping this session short and sweet" and little chance of any real change. Social issues Some of the most fervently debated issues deal with questions of how people conduct their lives. One measure already revived from last year would allow people to refuse nutrition during the final days of a terminal illness. Another Continued from A-1 Then too.

there will simply be less time. Even-numbered years mean a short session just 30 working days instead of 61 days during a budget-writing long session. Bayh, who fared badly at the hands of lawmakers last year, will have little reason to call them back in special session, as he had to then to finish the budget. Expect a lot of unanimous votes on non-controversial issues, the lawmakers say. "We're going to do that to show people we care, from a public relations standpoint," Linder says.

But the coming legislative session won't be entirely a story of what doesn't, rather than does, happen. Here are some issues likely to be debated: Crime Lawmakers like to show they're tough on crime in election years.

Adcock said, "One of the dirtiest tricks the sheriff ever done to me was make me write the no-smoking policy. He said he wanted to be sure it was written by someone who would cover all the bases. "I told him to read it careful for exclusionary provisions." Adcock said non-smoking inmates complained "occasionally." When the five-pack limit was in effect, an inmate filed a grievance seeking to be moved because smoke aggravated his asthma, Adcock said. "I pulled his commissary sheet, and he was ordering the maximum amount of five packs of cigarettes every time he went to commissary," Adcock said.

"The other thing was, cigarettes became the contraband of choice over drugs, guns, alcohol which is not really all that bad when inmates work diligently for cigarettes over those other things."

It's a great opportunity for Brad. He qualified in the American Samoan trials. Brad will compete in the two-man at Lillehammer. The driver has to be American Samoan (Faauga Muagututia), but the brakeman does not." Kiltz's Olympic dream began early in 1990 after he snubbed fellow American Brian Shimer, one of the world's best bobsled drivers, at a gym in Naples, Fla. "I was training for a national power-lifting meet and in came this guy," said Kiltz, smiling.

"He asked if I could help him with a training program. I said I didn't have time." A week later Kiltz saw a picture on the gym bulletin board of Shimer, Herschel Walker, Willie Gault and Edwin Moses. Kiltz instantly recognized the latter three as blue-ribbon athletes In other sports who were training with Shimer for the '92 Olympics. "When I realized who Shimer was, I said to myself, 'And this is the guy I insulted Just a week I swallowed my pride and walked over to a stationary bike on which Shimer was working out and said, 'I'd really like to get into He said. 'I really don't have "Actually.

Brian and I got to be pretty good friends. He said a lot of people talk but never do much. He challenged me." With Shimer's help. Kiltz got a tryout with the U.S. team at Lake Placid, N.Y., in the fall of 1991.

He remembers vividly his first ride down the course, which is considered one of the toughest in the world. "A roller-coaster ride is not even close to a bobsled run," he said. "Nothing I had ever done in sports (football, baseball, wrestling and lifting) prepared me for the speed, noise and whiplash. The G-forces are gut-wrenching and suck you down to the bottom of the sled, making you feel absolutely helpless." Kiltz was speechless after his first run. After going down a second time and again holding himself In with his elbows braced against the sides instead of holding on to the grips as is normal, he got up enough courage to say.

"I like It. I can do It." The Evansvllle Harrison High School graduate began to train with the U.S. team holding on tightly to the grips. But because of his late start in the event, Shimer advised Kiltz to set his Olympic sights on 1994 rather than '92. A year ago Brad began to race with the American Samoan team in Europe.

Last spring he competed with Muagututia in the world championships at Innsbruck, Austria. "We weren't last," Kiltz said. "We were about 30th. There might have been 45 sleds." Because Kiltz was doing well with the American Samoan team. Shimer convinced him he would have a better chance to make the Olympics going that way Instead of bucking bigger odds In the U.S.

Thert it's on to Albertvllle. The team will compete in a meet there and at the World Cup at St. Morltz. Switzer land, before a final week of training in Austria prior to the Olympics. I In the meantime, the 5-foot-7, 195-pounder, whQ was ranked 12th in the nation as a power lifter in 1990, works out daily at three gyms that have given him complimentary memberships and runs at the old Carmel High School football field.

Two years ago he moved In with his mother; Sharon, a real estate agent, to save on expenses. "Without my mother, I'm not In the sport: that's how tough it's been." said Kiltz, who made $2,016 doing temporary work last year between training and competition. "It's been quite a rough road and nothing I imagined the training, the finances, the personal life, the competition, the unbelievable athletes. "I knew I probably wouldn't be able to race with the U.S., and I knew this was my last year, so I thought it was better to go out this way. with thd American Samoan team, than sitting at home watch-; ing the Olympics." Kiltz, who aims to complete his college degree at! IUPUI beginning next fall, knows he won't garner a medal at Lillehammer.

That's not the reason, he, says, for going through the rugged obstacle course he's had to negotiate to get there. "I've taken some severe hits (crashes) and I ate a' lot of ice along the way." said Kiltz. "I've earned my spot, and as I get closer to the Olympics, I'll probably feel even prouder of my accomplishment. "Every time I see Shimer he says, 'You should be' thanking me for you going to the Olympics." I dd thank him. We absolutely won't win a medal.

But for me. what with my age, how I started and all the struggle. Just to get to the Olympics is my medal." American Samoa will lead the parade of athletes at Lillehammer. Kiltz won't be carrying the flag, but there won't be any athlete wearing a bigger smile. CLEARANCE The Indianapolis News LEBANON, Ind.
