TP pnoay, August 2, 1996 Times-News, Twin Falls, Idaho Magic Valley; Dueling DJ's head to the ring Commissioners hire prosecutor for murder cases fc vry. A 7 A Court The commissioners had filed a petition in support of Lance's intervention. County commissioners since last week have toyed with the idea of not paying Pena for his time. I Chairman John Remsburg said the commissioners will decide whether to pay Pena when they receive a bilL A bill from Pena has not been delivered yet, Newman said. "I don't even know if hell submit a bill," Commissioner John "Bert" Stevenson said.

Pena's status as special prosecutor was not discussed Thursday in a department budget meeting between Newman and the commissioners. The commissioners approved Newman's request to hire Bradley at $100 an hour. In an agreement that may speed up a Supreme Court decision, the commissioners told Newman they would not appeal Burdick's decision. Burdick ruled against the commissioners last week, preventing Lance's office from stepping in on the case. Newman said the Supreme Court may have been waiting for the appeal issue to be sorted out before issuing a decision.

By Kevin Miller Times-News writer RUPERT Minidoka County Commissioners agreed Thursday to hire a special prosecutor to help in three murder cases, but it won't be Raymundo Pena. Former Minidoka County Prosecutor John Bradley will help Gara Newman in the cases against accused killers Corey Hood, Jesus Diaz and Kody Butcher, if the Idaho Supreme Court allows the county prosecutor to proceed in the cases. A decision from the Supreme Court on who will prosecute the cases Newman or the Idaho attorney general's office is still pending. Pena argued last month on Newman's behalf before the Supreme Court last month, opposing Attorney General Alan Lance's attempt to take over the Minidoka County cases. Since Newman invited him into the fray in June, Pena has been a leader in the county prosecutor's battle against the attorney general's office.

But Pena was not under contract with the county at that time, or later when he represented Newman before the Supreme Ron Harrison will face off In the main event at Muggers.

Ron Harrison, host of the morning show on KSKI in Hailey, and Travis Free, prime time DJ for Hits 99.9, are the featured event of a 10-fight smoker that will benefit the Make a Wish Foundation. The Make a Wish Foundation makes dreams come true for terminally ill children in Idaho. "We wanted to do a fund-raiser right from the beginning just so it didn't look like we were going out there to beat the tar out of each other," said Free, who has filled the airways with trash talking challenges to his opponent.

"It's a very serious challenge, with a little pride and a lot of blood on the line." Some spots on the Friday night fight card are still open, Free said. For $10, interested boxers can enter the event. Prizes will be awarded to the best fighter of the evening. Boxing begins at 7 p.m. Admission is $5 at the door.

Live music will follow the fights. Initiative Continued from Bl the next 40 years in return for a court-enforced timetable for cleanup and removal of waste by 2035. The government had planned to dump 1,940 more shipments in Idaho before the agreement was signed. But critics claim it is so riddled with loopholes that the government will be able to renege on cleanup and removal requirements while using Idaho as the nation's de facto radioactive dump. Batt warns that voiding the deal will only mean more waste being dumped in the state with no guarantees or cash for cleanup and eventual removal.

If the values differ, a court will resolve the difference. There is no time limit on condemnation. Lots purchased on the SNRA can be condemned at any time, if they are out of compliance with regulations. Sitzmark Village just south of the Sessions store on Highway 75 was condemned in 1992 based on the subdivision regulation. The Forest Service has spent $5 million to acquire property since the SNRA's inception, Rinella said, through outright purchase, condemnation, and the purchase of scenic easements.

Both were denied because they did not comply with regulations. Reaction from Stanley residents was mixed.

"The Forest Service has no business saying anything unless their checkbook is on the table," said Larry McCoy, a retired Stanley real estate broker. McCoy said he is a friend of Piva's, but he said he had not discussed this development with him for more than a year. Piva is trying to establish fair market value for the property through the sale of at least one lot. andv sawyerDm TinmNtm of a boxing smoker to benefit the Board sees Minidoka school repairs By Lori Bettineski Times-News writer RUPERT Fresh coats of paint, air conditioning, new carpets and sturdier lockers are just a few of the improvements awaiting Minidoka County students when they return to class Aug. 26.

The school district spent more than $825,000 during the 1995-96 school year for improvements on all 10 schools in the district for the upcoming school year. Most improvements were completed this summer just in time for the first day of school. "We're hoping 99 percent of this will be done by the time students return later this month," said Assistant Superintendent Bob Pavlock. "We've definitely got a lot done this year, and I think the kids will be pleased." Pavlock toured eight of the 10 schools Thursday with Minidoka County School Board members. The five-hour tour was designed to give the board a look at the improvements -and to decide what needs to be done in the next year.

"We want to be real careful what we do so we don't have to re-do anything later," said Superintendent Nick Hallett. "What we need to do now is look at the big picture and decide what improvements will help us the most." Hallett said the age of some buildings, coupled with overcrowding problems, has made the task of maintaining the schools a difficult one for the district. "We have too many kids in some of the schools and the buildings they're in are real old, and that catches up to you," Hallett said. "But we will get there."

"I think the existing guidelines have worked to the public's advantage in protecting against unwarranted development," said Erasmo Paolo, manager of a local rafting business. "But I wouldn't want to criticize Mr. Piva's development until we know what it is." "I would like the Forest Service to condemn the property.
