THE MIAMI HERALD Thursday, August 30, 1979 WEDNESDAY PALM BEACH COUNTY Census Bureau Begins '80 Work Whether you know that relative in Washington as Uncle Sam or Big Brother, he wants a chance to know your side of the family better. The Bureau of the Census began roadwork for its 1980 population count Wednesday as about 100 workers began collecting addresses and the names of household heads in Palm Beach County. The county address list will be compiled during the next six weeks and be used to mail census forms next March 28. Once simply a head count, the census now paints a complex demographical portrait of the United States. The nationwide census will be completed at a cost of almost $1 billion.

It will provide several hundred thousand temporary jobs, including 900 in West Palm Beach, where the census bureau will have one of its 37 southeastern regional offices. 3 charged with 'mischief' Three juveniles who "hot wired" golf carts and ran amok in the parking lot of the North Palm Beach Country Club last week have been arrested and charged with criminal mischief. Police said the youths, all 15, caused about $1,800 by ramming cars, trees and benches with the carts damage at the Federal Highway country club. Two of the youths arrested Tuesday are North Palm Beach residents, police said. The third teenager was identified as a visitor from Maryland.

More condo buses to roll The independent minibus service at Century Village is scheduled to start rolling Saturday, under contract to more than 3,000 condominium owners there, according to Bernard Kantor, a spokesman for the resident group, the Council of Area Representatives (CAR). There are about 8,000 condos at the retirement complex. Century Village Inc. operates the only internal shuttle now. CAR has arranged for minibus service from Personalized Management, the company that now maintains some of the complex's buildings.

Condo owners will be charged $6 per month for the new minibus system regardless of the number of residents in the condominium, Kantor said. Baby drowns in canal A 22-month-old suburban West Palm Beach girl drowned Tuesday afternoon when she apparently wandered into a canal behind her home, police said Wednesday. Letha Sullivan, the daughter of Elizabeth and Ronald Sullivan, was pulled from the water by her mother minutes after the baby slipped into the waterway that skirts the back yard of her home at 671 N. 95th St. Police said Mrs.

Sullivan had left the infant alone briefly to answer the door and returned to find her in the water. The tot was rushed to a nearby hospital, where attempts to revive her failed. A funeral mass was scheduled for 9:30 a.m. today at Holy Spirit Catholic Church, Lantana. Boat landing to close The boat landing at the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge headquarters west of Boynton Beach will be closed for the next four weeks to allow construction of a culvert under the landing's parking lot, refuge officials announced Wednesday.

Boaters and fisherman may still use landings at the Hillsborough Recreation Area and at the Twenty Mile Bend Recreation Area on U.S. 98 west of West Palm Beach. Since airboats cannot be launched from those landings, the refuge will be closed to airboating until the Boyntonarea landing is reopened. "We regret that we have to inconvenience the public," said a refuge official, "but the construction project is important to the successful operation of our management areas. By doing the project now during the off-season, we will not be causing that much disruption to fishing activities on the refuge." Commuter airline sued Fort Pierce Flying Service has sued financially troubled Golden South Airlines, which serves West Palm Beach, for more than $27,000 in unpaid gasoline and maintenance bills.

According to a suit filed Tuesday afternoon in Fort Pierce, the commuter airline owes Fort Pierce Flying Service $27,607.45. Golden South, established seven months ago, offers flights among West Palm Beach, Fort Pierce and Orlando. PALM BEACH DEATHS ALLEN, Edna 85, of 570 Mentone Lantana, died Tuesday. E.

Te Aged Rape Suspect Surrenders After 2-Hour Siege of Rooming House FORT LAUDERDALE A teen-aged escapee from the Pompano Detention Center, armed with four knives, barricaded himself inside his rooming house apartment Wednesday afternoon. two hours he surrendered to police, who wanted to question him about a series of rapes, the most recent Wednesday morning. Randy Hart, 17, escaped five days after he was brought to the center June 30, accused of a raping a woman in Dania. The center's superintendent, Sammie McCormick, said Hart simply walked out the front door with a group of painters. Wednesday evening police said By CHARLES BUHMAN Herald Staff Writer they were awaiting a juvenile court judge's permission to question Hart about five other rapes.

All the victims, black women in their early 20s, were attacked in downtown Fort Lauderdale the past four weeks, the most recent Wednesday morning. Police want to put Hart in a lineup before the rape victims. POLICE SAID three of the rapes were reported during the past week and a half; all were committed at knifepoint. Wednesday's victim, a 23-yearold who said she was raped at knifepoint along the 1000 block of st NW Sixth Street, identified the assailant as Hart, police said.

Officer Kathleen Farmer was sent to the beachside motel where the young woman, Brenda Evans, was working her first day as a maid.

Police Chief Leo Callahan said Hart gave him two knives, but refused to surrender the other two. "What do you want me for anyway, man?" Hart shouted through the broken windows to police Capt. Wayne Lowery, who was negotiating with him.

Ted bragged he had had sexual relations with virgins there, Andrew testified. A songwriter who worked with Nugent in the early 1970s testified that the loud and flamboyant star once appeared onstage with a rip in his pants that displayed his genitals. Ted once defecated in a cup and left it in a desk, and once spit on an audience member who was shouting at him, according to songwriter Richard Steel of Nashville. "Sometimes it's kinky, sometimes it's decadent, sometimes it's not.

Sometimes it's. just boring," FROM PAGE IC Steel said of Nugent's life on the road. Ted's attorneys were slated to present witnesses Wednesday, but the trial was discontinued. ALTHOUGH Judge William Rutter agreed to grant the couple a divorce, attorneys the husband and wife indicated that they still efor, had some disagreements to work out. Nugent enjoyed some mild success as a performer in the late 1960s, capped by the hit Journey to the Center of the Mind in 1968, recorded with the Amboy Dukes.

His career slumped afterward, kept alive by concerts in small halls around the country, but resumed its climb about four years ago. Inattention Could Cost County A Chance to Buy Beach Property FROM PAGE IC and fully intend to address environmental questions. Mitchell said Robert Ewing, president and board chairman of the MacArthur estate's Bankers Life and Casualty Insurance Co. of Chicago, which owns property, is to visit the area Sept. 7 to discuss the "concept" of the project.

For now, however, those plans remain under wraps. AIR FORCE Beach spans about three miles of oceanfront property along the northern tip of Singer Island. It generally is considered to be the choicest piece of undeveloped beach property remaining in Palm Beach County. A car was driven to the door and police ordered spectators to get away. The crowd heckled police, calling them "McClouds" and "Barnaby Jones." But Hart surrendered peacefully, handing over the last two knives after being allowed to talk to his girlfriend.

Hart asked Chief Callahan to handcuff him, saying other officers might put them on too tight. Hart and Evans were loaded into the squad car and taken to the police station. Hart was being held on an order by Juvenile Court Judge Larry Korda pending a hearing scheduled for today. He performed Saturday night in the huge Hollywood Sportatorium. A June concert there had been canceled after he sprained ankle while jumping a hedge at his mother's home in Chicago.

One of Nugent's early albums was titled, Marriage on the Rocks: Rock Bottom. Though long listed as a priority acquisition by county officials, serious negotiations apparently are awaiting development talks between MacArthur's representatives and North Palm Beach. In June, appraisals conducted on the Air Force Beach property by the county and the MacArthur interests were $11.6 million apart. The county valued 160 acres of the property at $7.3 million. MacArthur's representatives valued 152 acres at $18.9 million.

MacArthur officials have said flatly that some of the property isn't for sale. County officials have talked vaguely about condemning some of the acreage for a park, that likely would be a sort measure.
