Miller. The suspension was based on a recommendation by the internal affair committee, which left the length of the suspension to Chief Miller.

The committee also stipulated that Erwin be placed under close supervision for six months following his return to duty and that his conduct should be evaluated at the end of that time. Erwin's suspension was the result of his striking a handcuffed female prisoner, which he admitted to the committee, after arresting her July 20 on charges of driving while intoxicated. Erwin admitted striking Kathy Barnes, but claimed she broke his glasses and struck him first, according to reports. Erwin appealed suspension to the department's grievance committee at 6 Monday and the committee met with Miller Thursday evening. Miller said Friday the suspension was not altered by that meeting and Flrwin now has until 2 p.m.

Saturday or five days after it became effective to appeal the suspension to the Police Personnel Board Prison escapees remain free only for a short time Three prisoners who escaped from the Cooper County jail here Friday morning were recaptured about an hour later, according to Sheriff Sam Morris.

All three were recaptured in a wooded area near the Kemper Military here shortly after 7:30 a.m. The capture scene is located about 14 miles from the jail, Morris said. Felony jail escape charges will be filed against the trio, Morris said. Thuman was being held on auto theft and parole violation charges. Cowans was charged with burglary and escaping from the Boonville city jail.

Vinyard faces burglary charges. Cowans will be transferred to the Pettis County jail. Morris said, because of his escape risk classification. Sedalian is given 15-year jail term WARRENSBURG A rural Sedalia youth was sentenced to 15 years in prison Thursday by Johnson County Circuit Judge Robert Russell in connection with the Jan. 25 armed robbery of a Chilhowee grocery store.

Timothy Lee Greene, 17, Route 1, Sedalia, and Michael Franklin Reedy, 20, Knob Noster, were charged with robbing the store at knifepoint Johnson County Sheriff Paul Pirch apprehended Greene and Reedy and recovered $529 taken from the store shortly after the robbery between Centerview and Chilhowee Reedy was given a 10-year suspended sentence and placed on probation for five years on Wednesday. Billfold and cash taken from woman The theft of a billfold containing $30 and personal papers from Mary P. Rhea, 74, 406 North Prospect, is being investigated by Sedalia police Mrs Rhea told police two juveniles entered the Open Door Service Center at 115 West Main about 3:50 Thursday and one took her billfold from behind a counter while the other distracted her. In other police news, George Blevins, 14154 South Moniteau, reported a military ammunition box and tools, collectively valued at $70, were taken from his home sometime during the past two weeks Police reported there are two suspects in that case Plans for buying local TV station stay active Because of a $37,000 payment approved Thursday by the Central Missouri State University Board of Regents, the application for federal matching funds to purchase KMOS-TV station is still alive. The application was threatened earlier last week when college officials learned that CMSU was $74,000 short of meeting its required $148,000 share of the $592,000 purchase price The $148,000 is one-fourth of the total cost, with the Department of Health.

Education and Welfare (HEW) scheduled to pay the remaining $444,000 if the project is approved. The university hopes to purchase the station from Mid-America Television. Kansas City, which owns KMOS-TV and its sister station KRCG-TV, Jefferson City Under the proposed sale, programming for the local station by CMSU will be educational during the day and be switched to the Public Broadcasting System in the evening The station would be entirely non-commercial and would provide some local programming. The university was permitted to meet its share of the total purchase cost by both cash and contributions in the form of various equipment. Based on a preliminary inspection of the equipment that Mid-America Television has agreed to donate to the university, officials believed the $148,000 obligation could be met.

However, the college was notified last week that HEW inspectors had reduced the official value of some of the equipment largely because it is no longer being manufactured and some replacement parts are not available. Also, some of the equipment was judged not to have a necessary 10-year future life expectancy. Carl Foster, CMSU director of public relations, explained the reason for valuing the equipment as it did by saying, criteria was whether or not it was useful and functional. This equipment we are talking abut is definitely all functional and very useful. Mid-America will not be giving us bad equipment.

We are getting two color cameras and other good equipment from both the Sedalia and Jefferson City stations. just that HEW inspectors used very precise evaluation After being Informed of the HEW decision by the university, Mid-America officials then offered to pay half the remaining $74,000 providing CMSU came up with the other half. The action by the Board of Regents Thursday assures that the one-fourth in matching payment can be made if HEW agrees to help fund the purchase Foster said he does not know when HEW officials will announce a decision on the request. Honesty Continued from Page 1 hurts when you lose that much. I think there were that many honest people around.

I called Danny this morning and thanked him and told him give them a little reward if they came Summers said Summers said he offered them $5 apiece or some souvenirs from his stand. As for Watring and his friends, planning to take Summers up on his offer, going back out to the Fair tonight or In the Watring said Chicken BBQ Continued from Page One) bearded Donald Held of Morrison, last champ. With beer in hand he tended a homemade smoker-barrel arrangement that produced an aroma one step this side of heaven. And at the far end stood Forrest Wallace of Jefferson City, who certainly had the most unique cooker He fashioned his barbecuer out of an old refrigerator. On the other side was John Renn of Summit, who was doing his cooking In a metal trash can.

right, an ordinary outside trash can, but rigged with doors and air vents. The superintendent of the contest, Glenn Geiger of the poultry department at the University of Missouri, got on the microphone and gave a rundown of all the contestants. Surprisingly, I was the only one from Sedalia. At 1.551 got my charcoal going. A few minutes later contestant Robert Baldwin of Jefferson City wandered over got me he said I replied.

he said, starting so late. The rest of us have had our chicken on for some time already and just getting your coals lit all part of my game I said confidently, guys will all be burned out by the time 4.15 rolls He walked away still worried. 1 had buffaloed him but would my chicken buffalo the With lots of fanning with a styrofoam cooler lid, the coals were ready by 2:20, They were a little hot so I watere(i them down a bit with my Worcestershire sauce-sweet vermouth-cooking sherry- lemon juice basting mixture. The chickens were supplied by the Fair and the MU Extension Division, cosponsors of the contest Each entrant had to barbecue three halves. I put the chicken on about 2:25 and settled back in my lawn chair to sip a beer It was hot under the sun.

Many of the veteran amateur chefs were cool, though, under their portable canopies. Most of the contestants were drinking beer, it seemed. Plenty of basting sauce kept the chickens from burning above the still- too-hot coals. It was now 2:45 and all was going fairly well. Then, it happened.

As I was walking to a trash can (a real one) with my empty beer bottle, 1 kicked my basting sauce. All over the ground. The late start, and now this two strikes against me, I thought. All was not lost, though Luckily, I brought a gallon of water with me. I mixed some of my finishing sauce with the water and this provided an adequate basting sauce, though not as good as the one that had spilled Throughout the competition spectators milled with the contestants.

By the looks in their eyes I could see they were not impressed with my cooking talents. Most were flocking around Held, Wallace and Renn. At 3:30 M. C. Kennon of Farmington decided his chicken had had enough.

thought we had to wait to I said. he replied, can submit it any time That considerably changed my game plan. If I waited till 4:15 my chicken would arrive at the table with a dozen other By that time, I thought, the taste buds would be chickened-out. After Kennon broke the ice, eight or nine others followed. The judges, both consumer specialists with the Extension Division, were sampling the fowls and assigning point values.

Out of a possible 100 points, 10 were awarded for skill in using equipment, 40 tor thoroughness of cooking and 50 for appearance and taste As much as 1 tried, I deliver my product to the table until 4:10 p.m About half of the contestants also waited until the deadline For the next 45 minutes the judges laboriously worked their way through the mass of chicken, can hardly look at them any one judge commented about three-fourths of the way through. No doubt my entry will be the next one up, I thought. After compiling their scores, the judges then took a second sample from some of the entries to break ties. At 15 the tension started to grow still Geiger announced at 5:25. Five minutes later he returned to the microphone It was a false alarm.

got a lost boy he told the crowd, which at that time had grown to about too persons. Finally, at 5:41, he returned to the mike to name the winners. In reverse order he named: 8th, Lana J. Thurmon, Blue Springs; 7th Jerry Leinkuehler, Morrison; 6th Howard Hunt (a newcomer), Urich; 5th June Talley. Pleasant Hill; 4th Dr.

D. Love. New Bloomfield; 3rd George Warden, Morrison, and 2nd Held, last champ. Well, all or nothing, I thought. Probably nothing, 1 was right.

winner is John Renn, the man who built his grill out of a garbage Geiger announced. Renn walked up front, picked up his trophy and posed for a Fair photographer. you like to say a few Geiger asked, Renn shook his head. He get to be champ by divulging his secrets, I thought The booby prize for worst chicken went to a Kansas City man.
