Thailand comes alive via film The Palace Theatre's 1985-1986 Travel and Adventure Film Series ends April 14 when Commander Karl E. Stein presents his film Thailand Today Old Siam Stein, who has shown his travelogues all over North America, has had many adventures. During his service on destroyer escorts, he once had to abandon ship from the burning Wakefield. His worldwide travels provide the background for his fascinating presentations, when he actually gets his audience to believe they are Thailand, according to Tony Miller, Palace manager. The film captures the flavor of the place known to many only as the setting for The King and I While Thailand has changed a lot recently, many parts of the ancient culture remain.
The film will feature a trip to the Grand Palace, as well as the cities of Bangkok Ayutthaya, Kanchanaburi, Chiang Mai, phu*ket and Pattaya. The film will be shown at 1 and 7:30 p.m. For 30 minutes before each show, Marion's Dick Myers will play the theater's 1924 Wurlitzer. The travel series presents films, not slides, with live narration by each film's producer, Miller said. Information about summer travel films and the 1986-1987 series also will be available at the Thailand program.
Tickets may be bought in advance at the Palace and all Palace Ticket Outlets, or at the door the day of the show. All seats are general admission. The Marion Star, Tuesday, April 1, 1986 Page Deficit bill may lead to big loss for county If the Gramm-Rudman deficit reduction bill hits Marion full force, the county stands to receive $181,009.85 less in revenue sharing funds this year than last. That cut might leave county government struggling to stay above water. Whether or not the county actually will lose that amount remains to be seen.
At the very least, Gramm-Rudman will mean $63,457 less for the county this year, but county government officials said they expected that loss and figured it into the budget. What they did not figure on was the possibility of the additional loss of $117,552.85, and that is where the problems could start, according to Marion County Auditor Lois Weber. The county is scheduled to receive a By MATT HARVEY Staff Writer total of $346,151 in revenue sharing in four quarterly payments this year, she said. That figure could be reduced by as much as 15.8 percent, she said. The reductions most likely would come in the third quarter (paid in July) or the fourth quarter (paid in October).
The county also may lose the fourth quarter in addition to the 15.8-percent cut, Weber said. The 15.8-percent loss over the year would add up to a $54,691.85 reduction in revenue sharing, while the loss of the fourth quarter would mean an additional $62,861 less for the county. The possibility exists, however, that the county may not lose the money, and that hinders corrective action the county may take, officials believe. "We're not sure what's going to happen," said Robert S. Brown, county commissioner.
"We're just going to County Bar endorses Rogers for judgeship ip The Marion County Bar Association unanimously has endorsed Marion Municipal Court Judge Richard M.

New water supply in Richwood Council retains firm for well field By BILL BROWN Star Correspondent RICHWOOD Village council voted Monday night to retain Design Enterprises Dayton, to design and supervise the building of a new village well field and water supply.

Design Engineering will be paid $19,800 for its services, and this is estimated to increase each water bill 15-to-20 cents, council was told. The new wells are to be drilled because of nitrite and nitrate infiltration of the present water wells, which are within 100 yards of a closed landfill disposal site.

Should Gramm-Rudman hit with full force, it would mean the county would have to come up with extra $117,552.85 somewhere, Weber said. One possibility is the contingency fund, which was set aside for emergency expenses. About $70,000 was allocated for this fund, and a small portion of that has been spent.
It is likely, however, to be needed for other costs, Weber said. Another possibility in the case of further revenue-sharing cuts is the .05 percent piggyback sales tax that was instituted in 1985. The measure originally was expected to bring in $1.2 million in funds this year and might bring in more, Weber said. This tax might defray part of the costs should it be necessary, but probably would not cover the loss of more than $100,000 in expected funds, she said. Rogers has one of the heaviest perjudge caseloads in the state, Bartram said, with municipal court in 1985 reporting more than 16,000 cases.

Rogers is one of five candidates in the May primary vying for the seat now held by Judge Thomas Guernsey of Lima. Guernsey has decided not to run for re-election.

The pollution became apparent in the summer of 1983, and a citizens meeting was held that August to protest "the poisoned water." Subsequently, one of the three wells used by the village was deepened and recased with no apparent effect on the pollution.
In December 1984, a health alert was issued by the Union County Health Department, declaring the local water supply unfit for consumption by infants and the elderly. Reports Kay Blair, 950 Jamaica Drive. Lance Howald, 2777 Mercer Drive. Evelyn Hoffman, 1228 Wilson Ave. Mary Beatty, 222 Barnhart St.
