2 ARIZONA DAILY SUN, Flagstaff, Arizona, Friday, November 1 0, 1995 Robbers beat truck driver, escape KNAU drive Suspects elude police roadblocks raises $88,000 By DAILY SUN STAFF Four male robbery suspects are being sought by Coconino County Sheriffs detectives after they allegedly stole an undisclosed amount of money from a Snap-on tool truck and roughed up the driver. The incident happened at gunpoint. At about 3:40 p.m. Thursday, the four suspects allegedly approached the Snap-on van on Camp Townsend and Winona Road, about a half-mile west of the Leupp turnoff. The suspects flashed weapons and entered the van.

One suspect forced the driver into the back of the van and beat him, detectives said. They just came into the van, took money out of the truck and booked, said Sgt. Kathy Pulaski of the Coconino County Sheriffs office. The suspects left the scene in a late model, brown Chevy pickup truck. Pulaski said roadblocks were set up on Camp Townsend and Winona Road with the help of the Arizona Department of Public Safety and Flagstaff police immediately after receiving reports of the incident.

Pulaski said the crime was the first of its kind this year in the Flagstaff area. In September, Flagstaff police Governor accused of keeping checks The vehicle was not spotted. The victim was treated on the scene by paramedics but refused transport to a hospital for treatment.

Detectives said his injuries werent they would say, Well, we have to send a check back because they paid too much. But the check never got sent, Kendall said. The transcripts from her interview with an Attorney Generals Office investigator prompted Arizona Common Cause and Arizona Citizen Action to call the governors campaign a conspiracy to falsify records. Both groups, along with the state chapter of United We Stand, formally requested the attorney general to investigate the case. We are asking him to investigate willful, organized efforts to falsify campaign reports and, in essence, commit fraud on the people of Arizona, said Jim Driscoll, Arizona Citizen Actions director.

An investigation may prove the allegations false, but we believe the public deserves to know, he said. But Betts said Kendalls statement lacks foundation. He said the governor had three active campaign committees in 1991 one for the By DAILY SUN STAFF KNAUs fall fund drive was its most successful ever, bringing in $88,000 to the public radio station last week. I think its a good indicator the public service Arizona University is providing to the entire northern half of the state is valued and wanted by our listeners, said Marketing Manager Julie Pastrick. The vote of confidence conveyed by listener financial support is a strong message for KNAU to continue to provide quality NPR programming and classical music to northern Arizona.

KNAU broadcasts 77 hours of classical music a week, as well as National Public Radio programming like Morning Edition, All Things Considered, Fresh Air and A Prairie Home Companion." During its Oct. 27-Nov. 3 pledge drive, the station also unveiled KNAQ, a new signal at 91.7 FM focused specifically on Flagstaff. City residents at times had spotty reception from KNAUs regional signal. One reason for KNAUs fundraising success may be impending cuts in federal funding of it and other public radio programs.

Republican presidential candidate Pat Buchanan, who supports cuts in federal funding for public radio and television, spoke on the air during KNAUs pledge drive to urge listeners to call in and show their support. KNAU holds two pledge drives a year to cover the costs of operating the station, including its affiliation with NPR and Public Radio International.

Symingtons financial adviser since the mid-1980s, was a tax partner for the firm and the companys key negotiator for Project SLIM, the governors cost-cutting program. The investigation resulted in a settlement earlier this year, in which Coopers Lybrand paid the state $725,000.

Mike Evans of Arizona Common Cause urged the state attorney general to investigate Symingtons campaign finance records and to move quickly to prevent the chance of losing documents because state law only requires campaign records to be held for three years. These accusations of alleged criminal misconduct are egregious, profane and strike at the heart of an open and ethical government, Evans said.

Fife Symingtons campaign kept excess contributions by deliberately failing to mail refund checks are totally baseless, his campaign attorney said. Its bhsed on a lack of understanding of how the campaign reporting statute required us to report things, Steve Betts said Thursday. Earlier, a pair of public interest groups urged the attorney general to investigate the contributions made to Symingtons 1990-91 campaign because of the claims made by Marjorie Jane Kendall, a former secretary to John Yeoman, Symingtons accountant and campaign treasurer.

What they were' doing is they would record a payment, and then Saved by the belt i i a 'V "i'1 general election, another for a runoff, and the third for his re-election. Contributors who made donations over the limit allowed by law were notified by phone or by mail and could either get a refund or put the excess in another campaign. We believe the misunderstanding comes from the fact that people are not looking at the other campaign committee reports to see whether the excess amounts of money were transferred, Betts said. My hunch is (Kendall) didnt understand. Her statements were from an interview recalling what might have happened four years previous.

Kendall, who now lives in Maryland, told The Arizona Republic through an intermediary that she stood by her which was taken during a Jan. 17 interview as part of a bid-rigging investigation into a multimillion-dol-lar 1991 contract for the national accounting firm.
