Don Kugler, a 1964 Dix High School graduate now living in Port Medway Nova Scotia Canada, is among 37 Nebraskans whose draft evasion indictments were dismissed by the U S Justice Department under President Carter's pardon. Kugler, a Canadian citizen and former journalist, says he has no plans to return to the United States but welcomes travel and visits with friends and family.

Public hearings are set by the Cheyenne County Planning Commission for J Con Inc to rezone 84 acres from agriculture to heavy industrial for a farm implement yard and salvage operation along Highway 30 about 2 1/2 miles west of Sunol. The firm aims to open in about a month and plant evergreen trees to screen the site. Also on the agenda Rural Electric Co of Pine Bluffs seeks a distribution substation about 12 miles north of Potter and a transmission substation four miles west and six miles south of Potter to support irrigation growth. The $4.1 million plan, financed by a Rural Electrification Administration loan, would begin late April or May and take about 14 months to finish, preventing voltage problems in the south Panhandle. A new planning commission chairman will be elected at the meeting.
