(AP) -The widow of actor and balladeer Burl Ives is suing a writer to block a biography of her late husband and win the return of documents and tapes of Interviews.

Ives, who died April 14, had signed a contract with Lester M. Goldsmith In 1993 to work together on the book and to share the profits equally. The agreement was to expire in a year if they had not gotten a publishing contract or within 18 months if the book had not been published by then. Dorothy Ives said Goldsmith submitted a portion of nis manuscript last winter, and she read parts of it to her husband. The folk singer's reaction, according to his widow: "This is everything I had in my first book.

I'd be plagiarizing myself." Mrs. Ives' lawsuit, filed last week, seeks the return of all documents Goldsmith borrowed and tapes he made of interviews with Ives and others, and repayment of $3,500 in personal loans. of Tom Joad" arrives In stores Nov, 21.

Whether the tax will bring in enough money to fully fund the department remains to be seen, she said. Scott Peterson, director of business tax collection at the Department of Revenue, said the law requires that the tax be paid by five industries: lodging, car rentals, amusement parks, marinas and a catchall category, called "amusement and recreation services." According to the federal government's industrial classification system, the last category includes a lot of businesses that have little or nothing to do with tourism, Peterson said. Some, like martial arts schools and fortune tellers, have simply been exempted from the tourism tax. But the Legislature exempted retail goods and restaurant meals, even those sold to tourists, because state residents would end up paying. "A lot of businesses that might be considered to be tourism are not subject to the tax, but that's the function of the Legislature," he said.

Before the tax went into effect, the Department of Revenue sent out letters to 1,300 businesses that it felt might be subject to the tax, Peterson said. Last month, 728 businesses actually paid it. But Peterson added that more will likely pay the tax later. Depending on the size and type of their businesses, retailers in South Dakota pay sales taxes at different intervals, from monthly to annually. Despite the problems, Honerkamp still likes the tourism tax.

"It's always been difficult, whether measuring the economic impact or targeting a fee toward visitors," Honerkamp said. "I still think it's a valid concept." Body: Continued from page A1 Craig Tieszen, chief of detectives for the Rapid City Police Department, said law enforcement officials had searched the southeast corner of Forest Products property, where Marcotte's body was finally found. "We had done some preliminary searching there, along with most of the rest of Pennington County," he said, "but obviously, we were unsuccessful." Police dogs were not used in the search, but Tieszen said dogs might have helped find the body sooner. The discovery of Marcotte's body does not close the book on police investigations into her death, Tieszen said. "Our theory hasn't changed, but (it's) still an open case," he said.

"Now that we've discovered the body, we'll do some additional searches around the area." DENR before discharging each batch of treated water. Update the company's "Spill Contingency Plan" by March 1. Meet additional monitoring and sampling requirements. The cyanide spill may have been caused in purt by heavy spring rains, which filled holding ponds that contain the cyanide solution the mine uses to recover gold from ore. Open-pit gold mines like Wharf use cyanide in a process culled "heap leaching." A dilute solution of cyanide is sprayed over huge piles of crushed ore.

The cyanide "leaches" gold out of the ore. The latest penalty is the second involving cyanide at Wharf Resources. Last year, Wharf paid a $10,000 fine to the federal government as part of a plea agreement in a case Involving the death of migratory birds. Wharf also has spent more than $130,000 on nuts and other measures designed to keep birds off ponds that hold cyanide solution comparable to penalties other Black Mills open-pit gold mines have paid for similar offenses. For example, the state fined Brohm Mining Corp.

$100,000 for leaking cyanide from a heap-leach pad in 1991. Two years ago, the Environmental Protection Agency fined Brohm $125,000 for releasing acid runoff from its Gilt Edge Mine, which is four miles southeast of Deadwood. The Richmond Hill Minei Just north of Wharf, got an even stiffer penalty. The state shut the mine down after It leaked acidic runoff into a nearby stream, killing hundreds of fish. The mine's parent company, LAC Minerals, eventually agreed to pay a pen alty of $489,000, and LAC Minerals also posted a $10.7 million bond to guarantee a cleanup.

And like Wharf Resources, Richmond Hill also paid a $10,000 federal fine for killing birds last year. i with cyanide levels up to .02 parts per million. The peak level during the release was 2.36 parts per million. Spearflsh Creek, downstream from the mine, was never affected, company officials said. Wharf faced fines of up to $10,000 a day for each water-quality violation and up to $1,000 a day for each mine permit violation.

A court could have ordered penalties, but state law also gives the DENR authority to reach voluntary settlements, like the one with Wharf. The settlement also requires Wharf to: Comply with all its permits in the future. Add linings to certain' holding ponds, which the company has already done. Submit a "standard operating procedure" for its water treatment system by Nov. 1.

Obtain permission from the who seek to sow division for their own purposes. To them, I say, no more," he said. "We must be one." Clinton ventured into topics that are sensitive with the black audience whose support is important to his reelection bid. Whites were not racist to say that a culture of welfare, illegitimacy and absentee fathers "cannot be broken by social programs unless there is first more personal responsibility," he said. Nor were they racist to shun neighborhoods where thugs carry guns like "old West desperadoes," or to recoil when they hear that gang members feel justified in shooting anyone who shows them disrespect.

"Blacks must understand the roots of white fear In America," he said. "By experience, or at least what people see on the news at night, violence for those white people too often has a black face." At the same time, Clinton insisted that whites must acknowledge thu blacks still suffer severe injustice. "It is so fashionable to talk today about African Americans as if they have been some sort of protected class," he said. "That is not true; that is not true." And he said too many police still treat blacks as if they were still in the "bad old days." In an oblique reference to Far-rakhan, the president said that while he honored the marchers' goals of personal atonement and greater responsibility, "one million men do not make right one man's message of malice and division."
