Police said a witness heard three shots just before 8 a.m., then looked out a window and saw Christopher Velthuysen fire two shots at his sister, who was kneeling in the driveway of the house on the 14800 block of Houston-Whittier. She was dead of multiple gunshot wounds on arrival at St. John Hospital. Charged Thursday with first-degree murder and using a firearm to commit a felony, Christopher Velthuysen is being held in Wayne County Jail without bond to await a Nov.

And so the thing that happened was just something nobody would explain. I don't think he can himself. He's sick and needs help." BUEHLER and others drew a picture of two very different siblings in the two-story white bridk home, set back from other bungalows on Houston-Whittier: Kim, who graduated last spring from Lutheran High School East in Harper Woods and planned to start college in January, earned A's and a place on the honor roll. She starred in sports, was active in school and church activities and was well-known at school, said Buehler. Christopher studied hard but earned only fair grades, say administrators at Denby High School.

He "kind of kept a low profile. He seemed quiet, mannerly," said Lawrence Till, head of guidance counseling at Denby. "He simply went about his business." Friends said Christopher was a good athlete and well-liked. "He's a cool dude a good swimmer," said Tony Russell, 18, a FRIENDS WHO have spoken with family members say the children's stepfather, Kent McKelvey, had left for work and their mother had taken a younger daughter to school early Friday. "For some reason or another, he got a gun and decided this was what he was going to do," 'said Buehler.

She said McKelvey told her: "I walked out of the house that morning with four beautiful children, and I walked back in and I've got two children who are upset no end, and one in jail and one in the morgue." Kimberly is also survived by her father and stepmother, Ronald and Susan Velthuysen. Services will be held at 10 a.m. today at Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church in Detroit. Burial will be "in Cadillac Memorial Gardens East in Clinton Township.

Buehler Funeral Home, 11930 Wilfred in Detroit, is handling the arrangements. By JIM FINKELSTEIN Free Press Staff Writer A 17-year-old Detroiter "says he feels like he was ignored" in comparison to the older sister whom he is accused of killing, a close family friend said Friday. Christopher Velthuysen, a Denby High School junior, was charged Thursday with first-degree murder in the shooting death Wednesday morning of Kim Velthuysen, 18. Earleen Buehler, a longtime family friend, said Kim was a straight-A high school graduate who was "always involved in every activity at school." Family members declined to talk about the killing. "My son did love his sister," their mother, Hertha McKelvey, said Friday.

Buehler, whose family is handling funeral arrangements, said members of the youth's family told her that he got out of bed Wednesday morning, heard his sister getting ready to go to Kim Velthuysen 11 111 111,1 w'lwiwn my iti i i in "-St (V wt S'Jt fy 'i 4 A A 'i.

Secrest said she initially didn't want to press criminal charges against Allix, but he wouldn't negotiate out of court a child-support agreement for the couple's five-year-old daughter. According to court records, Allix married Mary Ann Allix on Dec. 22, 1977.

He is accused of marrying Secrest on Jan. 9, 1982, while still being married to Mary Ann. He divorced Mary Ann on Oct. 31, 1986, and nine days later married Donnetra Allix while still married to Ruth Secrest. Allix currently lives with Donnetra, and besides his five-year-old daughter has four children by various women, including his first wife, according to Secrest.

Allix's younger sister said she knew two of her brother's wives, but didn't know there was a third. "Well, I know he knows a lot of women," said Tina Allix. "He has access to a lot of females." A warrant for Edward Allix's arrest was issued Nov. 2. He was arraigned Wednesday and was released on a $50,000 personal bond.

By MARGARET TRIMER Free Presi Staff Writer Just days before he was to celebrate one of his three wedding anniversaries, a Detroit man was arraigned in 36th District Court on polygamy charges. Edward Allix, 32, was charged Wednesday with marrying one woman while he was waiting for a divorce from another, then marrying a third woman immediately after his first marriage was dissolved. "I had no knowledge about what was going on," Allix, an employe of Herman's World of Sporting Goods, said. "I'm going to fight this." Magistrate C. Lorene Royster set a preliminary examination for Friday.

If found guilty, Allix could face up to five years in prison. Allix's second wife, Ruth Secrest, 24, said she discovered that he had been married to two other women at different during their marriage when she filed for divorce four years ago. "I expected this," said Secrest, who said she suspected her husband had been seeing other women. "He just didn't think he'd ever get caught.

Agriculture Director Paul Kin-dinger said there is strong evidence that odorless vapors from the pesticides can cause cancer and nervous and liver disorders in humans.

Kindinger also announced a Jan. 1 state ban on paints containing tributyl-tin (TBT), an anti-fouling agent used commonly in boat paints. Studies show TBT is toxic to freshwater aquatic life. Kindinger called "unacceptable" an agreement in August between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and chlordane manufacturer, Velsicol Chemical of Illinois, to stop national sales.

The agreement allows use of chlordane now In distributors' stock, he said. Chlordane is especially hazardous because it remains potent for more than 25 years, and cannot be practically removed from around homes, he said. Velsicol officials said there is no proof that chlordane poses imminent health hazards and they plan to voice objections to the ban at a Nov. 18 State agriculture Director Paul Kindinger hearing in Lansing. The hearing is required before the pesticide ban becomes permanent.

Heptachlor, a derivative of chlordane, also is manufactured by Velsicol. "We really wish regulatory agencies would make decisions based on science not on emotions, which seems to have prevailed on this issue," said Donna Jennings, a Velsicol spokeswoman. "We believe we have data showing it is not an imminent health hazard." A spokesman for a leading manufacturer of TBT, said they had no comment. Rick Newberry, acting executive director of the West Michigan Environmental Council, praised the ban, but added, "This is no means the end of the problem. We've got a large number of homes permanently contaminated What do we do with it?" People who want to dispose of chlordane may call 517-373-2730, between 8 a.m.

The newsletter said workers at the Gilbert Garage in August found South African window glass in a crate shipped from Finland.

Globe Glass Co. obtains glass for city buses from Canada, said transit division manager Leroy Plier. "We made an agreement with the City of Detroit not to supply glass from South Africa and we abide by it," Plier said in a telephone interview. City purchasing director Oreese Collins said, "We're speculating now that it was part of an old shipment. We had no other source to get it from." The Detroit rate was second only to that of Washington among the nation's major cities.

The money in question would be used for a mobile program to take health care and information to new and expectant mothers. Acting health director George Gaines could not be reached Friday for comment on why the money remains unspent. Council members said they would ask Gaines to discuss the issue with them.
