2 The Delaware (0) Gazette WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1986 Powell Council sets public meeting By LIZ ROBERTSON Gazette Reporter Paving and the proposed income tax were key items at the Powell Village Council meeting Tuesday night. Council scheduled a public meeting for Oct. 15 at 8 to discuss local issues on the Nov. 4 ballot. It p.m.

will be held at the fire station. During discussion on the income tax, Mayor Thomas Cantwell said there is lot of misconception on what the money will be used for." He said the tax was intended just to maintain and operate the village and "no special projects" were involed. Council will hand-deliver information to residents on both the income tax and fire levy before the public meeting, which residents are invited to attend so council can answer their questions. The paving controversy remained unchanged after lengthy discussion. Several citizens expressed concern about how the paving requirement would affect the village's character.

Mary Matheny said, "You've got a chance to unite the Old Village, the Retreat, the Olentangy department anyway. If you drop the issue now, you destroy that.

He said that if the into closed session to discuss personnel funds weren't there in 1987, there would be no police matters. 5-screen theater to open Friday By BILL SINDEN Gazette Reporter Delaware Square Movies will open Friday, apparently unaffected by antitrust indictments handed down last week against the company through which it books its movies, according to Manager Don Miles. Miles said the five-screen theater, in the Delaware Square Shopping Center on U.S.

23S, will begin showing movies at 5 p.m. He said Crocodile Dundee, Tough Guys, Top Gun, and The Boy Who Could Fly will be shown three times, and Nothing in Common, twice. Two matinee times at bargain prices will be offered Saturday, Miles said. Miles said the theater had "no problems or delays in bookings" despite Cleveland federal court indictments against Co-Operative Theatres of Ohio of Lyndhurst, its president, Blair Mooney and an employee, David Beaupain. The local theater, part of National Theater Corp.

in Lyndhurst, books its movies through Co-Operative. The indictments also named Tri-State Theatre Service of Cincinnati, and its president, Philip D. Borack. United Press International reported that the defendants had been charged Thursday with conspiring to control motion-picture distribution in Ohio and West Virginia since 1981. Starting next week, Miles said, movies generally will be shown five times daily, with bargain matinees starting before 6 p.m.

The architectural firm for the new theater complex was Martin Chetlin Associates, of Pittsburgh, and the VFW contest open to high schoolers Students are being sought to speak in behalf of their country.

The national winner will receive a $14,000 scholarship, and winners from all 50 states will get free trips to the national competition in Washington, D.C. Local VFW Chairman Bill Inlow said sophomores, juniors and seniors at Delaware Hayes, Buckeye Valley, Olentangy and the Delaware Christian high schools should contact guidance counselors about entering the speech contest. (Students at Big Walnut High School enter through the Sunbury VFW post.) Contestants write and record a speech, three to five minutes long, on the theme.

The winning speeches from the participating schools will be judged by VFW members between Nov. 15 and Dec. 11. More information can be obtained by contacting Inlow at VFW Post 3297 in Delaware.

Rep. John Kasich, R- Westerville, is pressing for a pilot project that would allow private law firms to help collect delinquent debts for the Justice Department. "Clearly the Justice Department needs help in going after this money," Kasich said in a news release. He said the department's debt case backlog now stands at 95,000, having grown by 16,000 cases i in the last year. Kasich said the federal government in 1984 "wrote off an astounding $2.5 billion in debts, simply because we don't have the procedures needed to track down and collect the funds." Kasich, whose district includes Delaware, Morrow and Licking counties and parts of Franklin County, said the pilot project is "a great first step, but only a first step" in fighting the problem of collecting overdue debts.

William Smith was among three featured speakers at the Domestic Violence Awareness Week program held in Dayton Tuesday. About 70 representatives of Daytonarea social agencies and lawenforcement groups attended.

Smith shared the speaker's platform with State Rep. Robert E. Hickey, vice chairman of a joint legislative committee on domestic violence, and Sally Fitch, president of ACTION's State Coalition Battered Women and a counselor for domestic violence and rape victims. Smith, a member of Gov. Richard Celeste's Task Force on Domestic Violence, was invited to speak because of the Delaware Police Department's acclaimed policy for handling domestic cases.

Smith developed the policy, which includes mandatory arrest of an abusive family member once the complainant signs a simple complaint form. "Our policy," Smith said, "is to advise all domestic-violence victims of their rights. Those are the right to file charges, the right to a temporary protection order and the right to fill out a simple statement form. Once that form is signed by the complainant, it becomes the probable cause we need to arrest the abusive individual." Smith said the policy allows officers to handle many domestic cases in only a few minutes. Many other police departments, he said, still require officers to witness an abusive act before they can make an arrest, which makes police help much less effective.

Alzheimers group to meet Thursday The Delaware County 'Alzheimers Support Group will meet Thursday at 7 p.m. in the Asbury United Methodist Church, 55 Lincoln Ave. The program will be a discussion about autopsy pre-planning and research and will be led by Cathy Cope, whose father recently died of Alzheimers Diseas.
