a 22 Jacksonville Journal, Jacksonville, Aug. 17, 1973 Funerals Fonner Trial Motions Argued Attorneys in the murder trial of Barron Fonner argued discovery motions before Judge J. Waldo Ackerman in circuit court Thursday morning. State's Attorney Ed Parkinson and assistant attorney's general Thomas Burnham and Jayne Carr asked the court to order Fonner's lawyer, Robert Owen of Decatur, to turn over to the prosecution a list of defense witnesses and their statements or summaries of them. The prosecution said the discovery request, which practically duplicates earlier motions, was made because Fonner has changed attorneys and the state didn't want to be "caught by surprise" with the testimony of witnesses not identified earlier.

Both sides charged the with failure to comply with previous discovery orders. Owen accused the prosecution of withholding statements, memoranda, and information gathered by the state police and the Illinois Bureau of Investigation. Owen: also claimed crime laboratory worksheets had been destroyed and that the state had furnished only one-sentence summaries of tests. Burnham asked the court to interrogate Keith Fitzgerald of Alton, who represented in earlier proceedings but recently withdrew from the case, about tape recordings of interviews with prospective witnesses. Fitzgerald said the tapes in question had been erased but transcripts of some of the recordings were in Owen's possession.

When asked if no written record was made of some of the tapes, Fitzgerald said he didn't know. Judge Ackerman ordered Owen to furnish the prosecution with transcripts of the tapes, a list of any interviews which had not been transcribed and the names of witnesses whose statements were lost. Ackerman also ordered the prosecution to notify Owen of the crime laboratory worksheets which had been destroyed and to furnish other information gathered by state agencies. The court may bar from the trial any of the testimony of witnesses or other evidence which has been properly requested but not furnished to the opposition lawyers. Both sides were instructed to answer the discovery order by Monday, a day before the trial begins.

Much of Tuesday may be taken in settling pretrial details including compliance with the discovery ers. Jury selection will probably begin Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday morning. Fonner, who was not present at Thursday's hearing, is chargwith the murder of IBI drug agent Pete Lackey Nov. 27 of last year. Lackey was found lying along U.S.

Nite Younger" Village Receives Planning Report Planning consultant Dan Carr presented another land use report to the South Jacksonville board at its regular meeting last mented night. the The land use report map deliv-er ered to the board last month. As outlined by Carr, land use south of the village to the new interstate highway will include 52 acres for commercial development, a 120-acre industrial park along the railroad, 50 acres designated for school and park use. Multi-family dwellings may occupy 20 percent of the land within a mile and one half of the village limits and enough land will be set aside for singlefamily dwellings to provide for twice the projected population of the area.

When Carr's work is finished the board will be able to enact a peripheral zoning ordinance to control the rapid growth expected with the new highway. Dale DeVore of DeVore-Bobb and Associates, consulting engineers, reported on the progress of two major village improvement projects. He said work could begin on the Vandalia Ave. street improvements as soon as state approval was secured for one detail of the sewer system to be installed. Though work could begin on the curb and gutter and storm sewer installation the board questioned the wisdom of doing it this fall.

"It's going to be a mess this winter if we tear it up now," DeVore said. The 36- inch storm sewer would go under the sidewalk on the south side of the road. No decision was made on the construction schedule or date District 27 Sets Prices On School Lunch discussion FRIDAY NIGHT Complete Catfish Dinner $2.50 Also serving Bar-B-Qued Spare Ribs Beef Bird for advertising for bids.

The sewer relocation is expected to relieve a basement flooding problem plaguing several residents along the street. In other action, the board: Referred bids on a new truck for the street department to committee for evaluation. McCoy Ford bid $6,600 plus applicable 1974 price increases; Schmitt Chevrolet bid $6,575, the price guaranteed if ordered before the hikes take effect.

Outdoor Cooking 'The Thing' Fair Booth Gives Tips By GREG LEPPER "What's cooking?" one kid asked. Another chimed, "When's dinner?" Still another youth grinned, "Say, that's good. Can I have another?" "Mmmmmm, delicious," a woman added.

"Do you have the recipe?" No, those questions aren't being asked at a family get-together. And the cook isn't the typical housewife. She is Louise Olson, summer home economist for the Illinois Agricultural Associ- ation, and her job is to answer questions that housewives have about beef and pork cookery. Cooking Demonstrations Miss Olson works out of the marketing department of the IAA. Much of her time this summer has been spent in her "kitchen on wheels" conducting outdoor meat cooking demonstrations at county fairs.

I talked with her while she grilled a ham steak at the Illinois State Fair. "I use mostly beef and pork 'Down Home Dan' Visits The Fair By H.F. WOLLENBERG IV Associated Press Writer (AP)The governor drove a tractor, the lieutenant governor watched a circus and the state treasurer shook a few hands as Democrats celebrated their day Thursday at the Illinois State Fair. The day was designated Governor's Day, but the usual speechmaking and high-pressure politicking that have accompanied such events in the past were missing. As on Republican Day Wednesday, no special events or speeches were planned.

"I think people come to the fair to have fun and not to stand around listening to a politician makes speeches," Gov. Daniel Walker conjectured. Walker, who has been at the fair every day but Wednesday, arrived early to get in on the tractor pulling contest on the track in front of the grandstands. In the tractor pull, farmers hitch their vehicles to a sledge and see how far they can pull a specified weight. The weights are tractors or pieces of construction machinery mounted on the sledge.

While the tractor pulls the weight, a pace tractor alongside. The driver of the racing tractor is not allowed to go faster than the pace trailer. After viewing two drivers spin their wheels and come to a halt, Walker left his wife, Roberta, and children Will, 10, and Margaret, 14, and made for the track. Swinging up into the seat of the pace tractor, Walker took drivers through three runs down the strip. "I enjoyed driving the tractor, but I think it would take some practice to do it right," he told about 10,000, persons packing the grandstand.

Then he walked to the Democratie tent where Dorothy Bafford, Sue Walter and Leona Dean of the Macon County Democratic Organization were passing out leaflets and seeing that those who wanted a chair or a free cup of ice water got Vir-jone. Along the way, Walker talked to people like Jim Clark, a white-haired retired railroad engineer from Trafalgar, who wore a a white railroad man's cap and told the governor he was enjoying being there. At the livestock commodities tent Walker got on a scale and clocked in at 184 and then joined Agriculture Director Robert Williams for a sandwich of Illinois grown pork tenderloin. Lt. Gov.

Neil Hartigan was at the Ronald McDonald circus which performs three times daily at the fair. State Treasurer Alan Dixon met Walker at the Democratic tent and shook a few hands. Referring to the old practice Rummage Bake Sale Aug. 18 9 a.m. First Pres- byterian Church on W.

"I've been to seven fairs so far and in addition to the taste treats that I cook I have several recipe booklets that visitors may pick up." She added, "My favorite recipe is pork chops marinated in soy-sauce and Coke. You grill them on a low temperature for about 25 minutes. The marinade adds flavor and makes cheaper cuts of meat very tender and tasty." Meat Is Best Miss Olson stresses nutrition in cooking demonstrations.

"Meat is still the best and cheapest source of protein, she emphasized. chuck "And steak cheaper steak when marinated make tasty, tender meat treats." Having, just received her B.S. in Home Economics from the University of Illinois, she is well prepared to answer the many questions that housewives have for her. "The one question people ask me most is: 'What about the beef really feel that people need to act rationally and use common sense, she said. "Housewives shouldn't hoard the meat in the stores.

They have to realize that it takes about three years from the time a cattleman decides to increase his calf crop until that extra beef is in the grocery stores." Varied Experiences "All of the questions I have answered this summer haven't been about meat," Miss Olson added. "I have done radio and televison feature programs on everything from homemade ice cream to selecting garden, think I've had the most fun going around to the fairs, though. I've met some tremendous people this summer from kids coming from the carnival to Governor Walker, but the plain, common people that just want to know new and better cooking methods are the best."

The center is fenced off and contains two sets of swings, two slides, two sandboxes and several picnic tables. Jan Berry, one of the supervisors, said the center has been getting about 65 children a day and that most of them are between the ages of 5 and 7. which had Mayor Richard J. Daley and thousands of Chicago Democrats traveling to the fair in chartered buses and train cars, Walker said, "I think it's artificial to pack the stands and to tell people they have to come down by the busloads." Walker said he plans to meet with Williams and State Fair Manager Robert Park after the fair to "discuss some ideas I have about how to improve the state fair."
