"Skim," Aledo, and Martin, Golden, Colo. 0-C. Aledo, Sterling on list Thompson OKs bond structure for civic centers SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (UPI) Governor Thompson has signed legislation putting the funding structure in place for improvements to or construction of 20 civic centers across Illinois. The measure was part of bill (S185) Thompson signed into law creating a state sales tax for computer software.

The software tax will generate an estimated $27 million each year, enough money to create a bond structure to fund $260 million worth of improvements. In addition to the civic centers, the bond money is earmarked for improvements to state parks, 'Chicago's McCormick Place convention Carlinville man charged with Koontz murder SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (UPI) A 28-year-old unemployed Carlinville man has been charged in the slaying of Melissa Koontz, the Waverly woman found stabbed to death in a cornfield July 1, Sangamon County authorities said Friday. Sangamon County Sheriff Bill DeMarco said police arrested Donald Ray Johnston late Thursday after questioning him for a week. Johnston was charged with first degree murder and is in the Sangamon County jail on $1 million bond, DeMarco said.

He said Johnston could face more charges later, depending on the progress of the investigation. Koontz, 18, disappeared June 24 while driving home from her summer job at a Springfield supermarket. Passersby discovered Koontz's abandoned car on a rural road between New Berlin and Waverly, touching off a massive search that at one point involved as many as 400 police officers and two aircraft. The search for Koontz ended when a motorist discovered her decomposed body in a cornfield southwest of Springfield, miles from where her car was found. Friends, businesses and local governments contributed more than $17,000 to a fund for information leading to the arrest of Koontz' killer, but the money will not be paid out because Johnston was arrested through evidence developed by investigators and not a tip from the public, DeMarco said.

DeMarco would not reveal details of the crime or speculate on a motive, but said police had "substantial" evidence to link Johnston to the crime. center, Chicago zoos, parks and libraries, and Melrose Park, $1.7 million. open space land acquisition.

Terry Branstad and other Iowa farm officials on their drought tour Friday, but they still say corn and soybean farmers need congressional drought aid. Branstad, along with Iowa Agriculture Secretary Dale Cocharn, Iowa Farm Bureau officials and other politicians viewed cracked ground and curled and withered corn plants on the Harlan Peterson farm near Independence and the Roger Jauer farm near Hinton. Showers fell as Branstad spoke at the Jauer farm, but the Sioux City area may be the driest in the state and local officials describe the situation as worse than last year's record drought.

Peterson said his corn should be tasseling right TERRY BRANSTAD now but is at least a week away. He said his crops have not received the inch of rain they need each week. He said heavy rains fell in April but very little since then. "In some areas of Iowa the drought could well be worse than last year," Branstad said. "That underscores the need for continuation of drought relief we received last year." Branstad says Iowa officials will have to continue to pressure U.S.

Agriculture Secretary Clayton Yeutter to support a comprehensive drought aid package. Iowa Agriculture Secretary Cochran, who just returned from meetings in Washington this week, said a member of the House Agriculture Committee told him President Bush will not veto a comprehensive drought bill covering all farmers if it passes Congress. Backs House-passed bill Branstad supports the House passed version of a drought bill basically extending last year's provisions. A limited Senate version provides aid only to wheat farmers. Branstad and the other officials also saw something of the human toll the drought is taking.

Farmwife Karen Jauer told the governor the drought is adding almost unbearable stress to family farmers in the area and she worries whether they can stand it much longer. The governor said drought aid is essential to avoid forcing farmers just emerging from the farm crisis back into bankruptcy. "We have corn and soybean crops that have already faced substantial loss," Branstad said. 1 Sims pleads not guilty in arr arraignment EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. (UPI) An Alton police detective told a preliminary hearing Friday trash bags found in Paula Sims' home match the trash bag in which Sims' 6- week-old daughter was found dead.

Sims, arraigned before Madison County Chief Criminal Judge Edward Ferguson, pleaded not guilty to two counts of first degree murder in the death of her daughter, Heather Lee. She was indicted Tuesday. A request by Sims' attorney, Donald Groshong, that bond be set for Sims and that she be segregated from other inmates in the jail, was continued until next week. Sims was held in the Madison County Jail. Groshong also filed several other motions, including one for a change of venue and another for a change of judge.

Groshong said the case has received too much publicity locally. On Friday, Ferguson also found probable cause to charge Sims with Ryan will wait and see on his future GEORGE RYAN Ryan, who also has been touted as a possible candidate for secretary of state if Edgar seeks the governorship, said he and state Transportation Director Greg Baise have agreed not to oppose each other in the secretary of state's race. "We're just going to wait and see what happens," Ryan said. "Everything will fall into place." Thompson announced Thursday he will not seek a fifth term, breaking a logjam of Republican officeholders locked in for more than a decade as Thompson held the state's highest office. CHICAGO (UPI) Lt.

Gov. George Ryan said Friday he will take a wait-and-see attitude before deciding whether to seek the Republican nomination for governor in the wake of Gov. James R. Thompson's decision to return to private life. Ryan told a news conference he and Secretary of State Jim Edgar, the apparent front-runner for the GOP gubernatorial nod, "have decided there would not be a Republican in 1990.

Two witnesses testified Friday in front of Ferguson Jersey County Sheriff Frank Yocum and Alton Detective Rick McCain.
