The seminar at Southlake Mall was conducted by county traffic supervisors, Lt. Richard Domazet, Cpl. Tom May and Patrolman Rob Clavier.
The educators responded with interest to the TEAM program "Traffic Education And Motivation" ready for use in summer school driver education classes and in high school safety classes this fall. The federally funded program will be directed by a 13-man unit customizing programs for the individual school system.s Instructions will include a short film, "Traffic Cops," which shows department function and computer use with statistics pinpointing each school area's accident records. "It is important that young drivers know that if they are arrested for a driving offense, they will, by law, be treated and tried as adults, not as juveniles," the officers said. Reasons for high auto insurance rates and possible teenage insurance discounts will be discussed by representatives from the Independent Insurance Agents Association working with the traffic unit program. "Insurance discounts are being considered for students successfully completing TEAM driver education," Clavier said.
Projected future traffic programs may include mock traffic courts and school video filming of a student's traffic "arrest" procedures including jail proceedings.

Thursday asked the Public Service Commission for approval to issue and sell $60 million of long-term, first-mortgage bonds.
The utility also asked for authority to Issue 2 million shares of no par value common stock, plus an additional 500,000 shares of common stock under its employee stock purchase plan. NIPSCO Chairman Edmund A. Schroer said proceeds from all three issues will be applied to the cost of additions to utility properties, including payment of short-term borrowings for its construction program. At the utility's annual meeting April 9, shareholders authorized Issuance of up to 15 million additional shares of common stock and 500,000 shares of stock under the employee purchase plan. Although several shareholders complained that their holdings are being diluted by new stock issues, Schroer said the practice is necessary to keep the utility's debt at reasonable levels.
Schroer noted Thursday that the utility's announcement is not an offering. The proposed new securities cannot be sold until registration statements are filed and made ef-f ective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In an unrelated move Thursday, NIPSCO asked the PSC to approve reduced gas rates to residential customers whose usage Is exempt from incremental pricing provisions of the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978.
