Insurance hike fuels court fight over city workers benefits
In Madison County Superior Court, Special Judge Wesley Raviff heard how Indianapolis city unions claim the city must continue premium payments despite a proposed 43.5 percent hike affecting about 603 workers. Witnesses testified the city and unions lack formal written contracts though a working agreement suggested the city would maintain current insurance programs.

Neighbors, Off-Duty Fireman Save Hills From Fire
An early Tuesday blaze on the south side damaged a Madison Avenue home. Woodrow and Mary Hill, both in their late 50s, suffered burns and smoke inhalation but were saved by off duty firefighter Richard Roverhimer and neighbors Curtis Ray New and Randy Penticutt who entered the home to carry Hill and then retrieve Mrs Hill from the kitchen. The fire caused 3500 in damage to the structure and 5000 in contents. Both Hills were discharged from St. John's Hospital shortly after. The incident followed another rapid spread fire earlier in the week, with district officials noting favorable conditions aided the quick burn.
