Herrara inquired. "Yes," Smentkowski replied during testimony before hearing officer Duke Young of Cedar Falls.

THE SUPERVISORS had decided to force Malloy's resignation the day before they began job termination proceedings, Smentkowski testified. The personnel director also said that three allegations Malloy showed the woman special favor, fired her because of tie pregnancy and was paying child support were inaccurate. The charges were contained in a letter from administrator Colleen Shillinglaw that told Malloy to resign or face indefinite suspension. Herrara contends the supervisors violated the law when Shillinglaw was directed to offer the alternatives to Malloy. Smentkowski said he believed the young woman because she gave a swom statement.

County officials did not ask for a statement from Malloy. "If (Malloy) took a lie detector test, would that change your mind?" Herrara asked. "On a lie detector test. I don't know," Smentkowski said. "What would it take for you to believe Joe Malloy?" Herrara asked.

"His testimony under oath," Smentkowski answered. Herrara expects the hearing to last about one week. Michael Payne. Greg Stokes. Todd Berkenpas, Gerry Wright.

By EILEEN AMBROSE Courier Staff Writer Four Waterloo buildings are being nominated for a place on the National Register for Historic Places. Nominated because of their historical and architectural significance are the Russell-Lamson Hotel.

201-215 W. Fifth the former East Side Library. 626 Mulberry the El Mecca Shrine Club. 716 Commercial St. and the Black Hawk County Soldiers Memorial Hall.

194 W. Fifth St. To qualify for the National Register a building "must lend either his-torial significance to the development of the city or have significance in the area of arhitecture or archeology." said City Planner Dave Van Dee. They must also be 50 years old or older. The four buildings were chosen out of more than 100 places in the area considered eligible.

Van Dee said the nominees all had a combination of architecture and historical significance. The Russell-Lamson Hotel illustrates the effect of industrialization on Waterloo. Van Dee said. The hotel was built during the industrial era of the city in the early 1900s. THIS IS the second time the former East Side Library has been nominated as an historical monument, although the first time to the National Register.

Van Dee said the library played a prominent part in Malloy's lawyer: County failed to check die facts sheriffs log Darlene Barbara Soy, 41. of 4711 Millerdale Court, was arrested Wednesday on a complaint of possession of marijuana. She was arrested after police searched her purse for $300 in cash she was accused of taking from James Witcher, also of 4711 Millerdale Court. The cash reportedly was not uncovered in the purse. Jerry Ray Mayes, 45.

of 231 Miriam Drive, was arrested Wednesday on a complaint of parole violation. Clarification Thursday's district court log included the sentencing of John Gary Forbes 18, of 188 Greenwood Ave. That item had previously run in the paper and the Courier regrets the duplication. MILESTONES Two more sites on 218 route the development of Waterloo because it "helped to add cohesiveness to divisions between the East and West Sides." Philanthropist Andrew Carnegie offered to build a library for the city. Because of rivalry between the two sides, the city ended up getting two libraries.

The other library was built on the corner of West Fourth and South Streets and is now law offices. THE EL MECCA Shrine Club is the former Fire Station Number 2. Van Dee said the architecture is a combination of Renaissance and Romanesque rivival influences. The club is one of the more architecturally important buildings of the four nominees. Van Dee said.

The Black Hawk County Soldiers Memorial Hall is one of the few remaining veterans halls that is similar to when it was originally built. Van Dee said. The nominations will go to the state Historic Preservation Office for review Aug. 20. From there, the nominees will be forwarded to the National Park Service for the final decision.

Those who restore buildings placed on the historical register can get a 20 percent tax credit. Van Dee said. But the greatest benefit for being on the Register is the prestige. Van Dee said. The buildings would be listed on National Register brochures, and being a landmark can also increase tourism, he said.

with leakage went up to 94 in 1986. At Weissman Industries, the worry is not with leaking underground tanks, but an apparent accumulation of the one-time insulating material known as PCBs polyhlorinated biphenyls. The company is expected to submit a plan to take soil samples on their property after one test turned up higher than normal levels of potentially dangerous PCBs in the upper two-feet of the soil. A soil sample taken on the property early this year showed 129 parts PCB for every million parts soil. Federal guidelines recommend the situation be cleaned up if there are more than 50 ppm.

EPA's Steve Auchterlonie, who is in charge of the Weissman matter, said he expected the steel distributing and salvaging company to give him some word on their plans within four to six weeks. "We recommended to them to pick out an engineering contractor and develop a site sampling plan for EPA review," Auchterlonie said. PCBs were used for years as an insulating material in electrical transformers and capacitors until they were found to be toxic and dangerous. They are usually found as part of an oily substance and can be destroyed either chemically or through special burning. The sampling plan is being requested because the three tests taken in January are just not sufficient to determine if there is really a problem, Auchterlonie said.

Of the three tests, only the one showed elevated PCB levels. By ERIC WOOLSON Courier Staff Writer County officials failed to check their facts before they suspended care facility assistant administrator Joe Malloy, who was the target of disgruntled employees. Des Moines lawyer Lou Herrara alleged Thursday. Herrara, who may seek a court order to force members of the Board of Supervisors to testify, is representing Malloy at a hearing to determine his future with Black Hawk County. Malloy was suspended last month because he allegedly impregnated an 18-year-old high school cooperative student and then fired her last summer.

THE WOMAN did not quit, as was reported in Thursday's edition, but Herrara contends she incorrectly assumed the co-op job was being terminated in August 1986 because of the pregnancy. Personnel director Doug Smentkowski testified student jobs end at graduation or summer's end. Herrara suggested that some care center employees were "out to get Joe Malloy" because he made them follow rules. Smentkowski testified one of Malloy's accusers had been disciplined, another was forced to resign and the third did not want to work for the administrator.

to 12 noon. show problems By DES KELLER Courier Staff Writer Two more Waterloo sites located in the path of proposed relocated Highway 218 may have chemical leakage problems requiring some type of cleanup through the Environmental Protection Agency. Leaks from underground tanks at Sibert's Unique Cleaners, 211 E. Sixth St. and a former auto service station in the 200 block of Washington Street have been referred to environmental authorities, according to Iowa Department of Transportation Engineer Jerry Lund.

This is in addition to EPA attention already being paid Weissman Industries, Inc. at 700 Falls Ave. where a soil test last winter showed elevated levels of potentially dangerous PCBs. Because the 218 project will be in the works for years, DOT officials have said they do not expect these problems to delay work. Though he did not know the specifics of the leaks at the cleaners and former, service station, Lund said they "have definitely got some type of leakage that needs to be dealt with." The Courier had reported this spring on leakage underground at Sibert's Unique Cleaners.

Underground storage tanks were found to be leaking naptha, a petroleum solvent in addition to other materials. These situations are part of an overall problem in the state concerning the deterioration of underground tanks. When the DNR started keeping track of tank leaks in 1981 there were 14 reported cases.
