B-2 Times-News, Twin Falls, Idaho Thursday, June 23, 1988 Pay raises will remain scarce at universities TV program, timely end long search for accident escapee Groups try to obstruct timber sale PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -Three environmental groups have filed a lawsuit challenging the way the Forest Service manages the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area along the Oregon-Idaho border. Andy Kerr of the Oregon Natural Resources Council said Tuesday that lawyers would argue that federal managers had ignored a congressional mandate to protect natural resources in the area along the Snake River. The resources council, the Hells Canyon Preservation Council, the Friends of Lake Fork, and Ric Bailey of Joseph filed the lawsuit Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Portland, Kerr said.

The environmentalists are asking for a temporary injunction blocking the sale of timber along Duck Creek in the Lake Fork Roadless Area. The area is near the community of Halfway in the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest of Eastern Oregon. The sale is scheduled for Thursday, the groups said in a news release. Bailey, a long-haul trucker, called Forest Service management of Hells Canyon "an all-out assault on a national treasure." Congressional guidelines call for management of the recreation area to protect fish and wildlife, recreation and valuable scientific, cultural, archaeological and historical sites, Kerr said. episode of NBC's "Unsolved Mysteries." Pennsylvania police submitted the story to the television program after two years of fruitless search for the pair.

At the time of his escape, Yount was working on the prison farm, baling hay and doing other agricultural chores. He was a trustworthy "model prisoner," Madden said, who taught accounting to other prisoners and was president of the prison chapter of Jay-cees. Disappointments added up, however. Ten times Yount appealed to the parole board to release him. Ten times the requests were denied.

In December 1985 his petition for a new trial was denied. All legal avenues apparently had been exhausted and Yount began making his plans. "He was bent on removing himself from prison," Madden said. Yount and Ms. Brodbeck allegedly formulated an elaborate, well-thought-out plan for his escape.

They accumulated about $10,000 in a bank account, acquired a getaway car and arranged for its storage, Madden said. At 1 p.m. the day of his escape, Yount was dropped off by a labor foreman about a mile from the prison to drive a tractor on a farm detail. The foreman discovered him missing at 3:30 p.m. Ms.

Brodbeck had been seen driving near the prison. Madden was assigned the case immediately after Yount's escape. Police tracked leads in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Montreal and Rock Springs, but to no avail. Madden said he had no idea the pair had made their way to Idaho. "We've been looking all over," he said.

"They had a very effective plan." Yount most likely has not held a job eral 5 percent raises during the current fiscal year, even if the state salary survey did not call for raises in a specific job classification. Richard Hutchison, executive director of the Idaho Personnel Commission, said 40 percent of the 9,000 state employees in classified jobs will not get any reallocation raises in the next fiscal year. At the UI, Boise State University, Idaho State University and Lewis-Clark State College, the number who will receive no reallocation raise will be 50 to 60 percent, officials at the institutions said. The lack of raises continues to undermine the morale of people on the state payroll, said Jerry Rasavage, head of the Idaho Public Employees Association. "It's a bad situation, and it's going to get worse on the first of July when people start finding out who got and who didn't," he said.

"There's an awful lot of people that are going to be upset. Enough, we hope, to get people politically motivated." While the UI came up with $67,500 last year to dole out in merit raises to 75 UI classified employees, UI Controller Gerald Reynolds said there is no extra money available for merit increases this year in any department. The ability of state agency administrators to glean money from operating budgets for merit pay hikes sometimes draws questions from Idaho legislators who want to keep spending levels down. "You've got to be careful in doing that because it looks like you're taking money from somewhere else and then you've got a (Rep.) Mack Neibaur (R-Paul) saying, "Where did we leave in the budget that you can afford said Sen. Don Mackin, D-Moscow.

COEUR D'ALENE (AP) A network television program and a well-timed car accident have ended a Pennsylvania State Police trooper's long, frustrating search for an escaped killer. Trooper William Madden arrived in Coeur d'Alene Tuesday, accompanied by a second state police officer and the Centre County (Pa.) sheriff, to escort Jon E. Yount and his alleged accomplice, Diane Brodbeck, back to Pennsylvania to face escape charges. Yount, 50, and Ms. Brodbeck, 45, were captured last week in the northern Idaho community of Dalton Gardens after FBI agents received a tip the two were in the state.

Yount escaped in April 1986 from the Rockview State Correction Institution after serving 20 years of a life sentence for the 1966 murder and rape of 18-year-old Pamela Sue Rimer. The victim was a student in Yount's advanced high school math class. Ms. Brodbeck, who met Yount through her work in the prison ministries, dropped out of sight after his escape and is suspected of helping to engineer his break from prison. Madden said he feels little compassion for the murderer he's hunted for the past two years.

"I've seen what he did to the (murdered) girl. I've seen the pictures," Madden said. "He is not the sweet and innocent person some people might think he is. I don't feel sorry for the man. "He's lucky to have only gotten life." Police also were lucky, to have found Yount and Ms.

Brodbeck living in northern Idaho. FBI agents were tipped off to the couple's whereabouts after their story was featured on an Twin Falls TWIN FALLS The following streets in Twin Falls will be closed for road work today and Friday.

Commercial Avenue to Blue Lakes street closures continue MOSCOW (AP) Idaho's four-year college and universities will not award any merit pay raises to classified employees this year, and only about half the schools' workers will receive a general wage increase when the new fiscal year begins July 1. The approximately 375 classified workers at the University of Idaho who will not see any fhange in their paychecks next month are upset, said Adeline Schroder, acting UI personnel director. "They don't think it's fair and it's hard to explain to them why they won't be getting any raise," Ms. Schroder said. "One person called today and asked if I was the one who decided they weren't going to get a raise.

Merit pay increases are awarded to outstanding employees by administrators who have extra money available in their operating budgets. Classified employees' general or "reallocation'' raises are determined by the Idaho Personnel Commission, which conducts an annual salary survey comparing public jobs with similar positions in the private sector. Both reallocation and merit raises are awarded only in 5 percent increments, but the Idaho Legislature appropriated only a 3-percent increase for the state's employee compensation system in fiscal 1989. University of Idaho faculty members, who unlike classified workers are not considered part of the state public employee system, will receive 2.75 percent wage hikes beginning next month, as will graduate and teaching assistants. Last year, 75 of the UI's 757 classified staffers, received merit pay hikes averaging $900 each.

Former UI financial vice president David McKin-ney also arranged for all the university's classified workers to receive gen Beulah Goodykoontz TWIN FALLS Beulah Halle Goodykoontz, 94, a former Twin Falls resident, died Monday, June 20, 1988, in Hanford, Calif.

Homing IT ALL by Jack Warberg Advertisement ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT Miniaturization and other' technological breakthroughs, have raised the potential for a hearing impaired person to lead an enjoyable life wittr his hearing aid.

Yet, even the proper selection and fitting of a hearing aid is only the beginning of a successful marriage between the hearing aid and its user. Without proper attitude and motivation, even the best hearing aid can be left unused. A person must want to adapt to his hearing aid and use it to attain greater enjoyment of life. This means that he must adhere to a schedule of use during the break-in period. During this time, adjustments to the aid will ensure better performance.

A proper adaptive attitude for the first month of use is the main element in attaining success with a hearing aid.
