Arraignment ent slated in Paul stabbing case RUPERT (AP) A Firth man will be arraigned next week on voluntary manslaughter charges for the stabbing death of another man after a 5th District Court magistrate threw out first-degree murder charges against him.

David Rushton, 47, is accused of killing Evan Thompson, 21, of Burley during a fight outside a Paul bar on Jan. 31. He will be arraigned April 22. Magistrate D.R. Workman ordered Rushton bound over for trial in District Court on the voluntary manslaughter charge after ruling that there was not enough evidence to support the first degree murder charge originally filed against him.

"Absence of malice and the influence of sudden passion are the general characteristics of this offense," Workman said in his 17-page opinion. "Malice and heat of passion cannot coexist." Workman based his decision on briefs filed by both the state and Rushton's attorney and on testimony provided during a closed preliminary hearing six weeks ago. Based on information from that hearing contained in Workman's decision, Thompson had been drinking heavily at the Office Lounge in Paul with some companions when Rushton bumped into him and words were exchanged.

Residents in the Buena Vista neighborhood who have complained about farm chemicals stored nearby may yet have some recourse within the law, said city engineer Gary Young. Members of the Idaho Neighbors Network have said they were eager to tighten regulations before a new tenant was found for a warehouse in the Buena Vista neighborhood where Wilbur-Ellis Co. had stored farm chemicals until March. The Uniform Building Code requires that hazardous materials not be stored within 60 feet of a property line, Young said. The Uniform Fire Code also requires that permits be issued for the storage of highly toxic pesticides.

However, the city has no system to enfore the section now, he said. The committee discussed Monday night would not the first 1 to consider storage of hazardous materials within the city. In 1983, residents of the Buena Vista neighborhood proposed an ordinance that would outlaw pesticides and toxic substances within the proximity of established residential neighborhoods. The residents took the action after they complained that the year before odors from a nearby storage warehouse for farm chemicals had caused a variety of illnesses. The council established a sevenmember panel of mostly agricultural scientists then to study proposed regulations.

The panel recommended that the city adopt no new zoning measures to govern the storage of pesticides and toxic materials within the city. from Page B1 before it is released, because they are the ones who commissioned the survey, he said. J-U-B was hired at a cost of $27,378 to develop solutions to problems now facing the city and draw up some long-range plans for the city. The survey is one part of the five-phase project. The survey asked 2,000 randomly selected residents about the quality of services now, what services should be trimmed first if revenues are lost and how capital improvements should be paid for.

The survey also asks several questions about how fast and in what direction residents would like the city to grow. from Page B1 costs of the suit. They also have 1 requested a jury trial. Health Department District Director Gerald Hurst denied the allegations Monday. The couple earlier had filed a claim with the district's board, Hurst said.

The claim was transferred to an agency that handles all claims against state agencies. As required by law, individuals first must file a claim with the state agenin question. If the agency doesn't cy answer or rejects the claim, the individuals have the right to file a lawsuit in court. A DSA official, who refused to identify herself, said Monday that she was not aware of the lawsuit. She refused further comment.

The health district, which is funded by the state and county taxes, provides family planning services as well as environmental inspections, immunization clinics, preventive health programs and several other services. Evans said many anti-education bills. that did not pass this session were more important. Some of those bills "could have been harmful or detrimental to the education of the state," he said. Evans said school administrators should be aware of some of the bills that did not pass this year.

Among the bills that did pass, Evans reviewed the provisions of bills that: Require Idaho school districts to adjust out-of-state bids for supplies by the amount of any bid preference percentage used in the supplier's home state. Further reduce the percentage of horse-racing track receipts that will go to education, what receipts education does receive will now go to the income account rather than the education endowment fund.
