This Kidnaping of children Chowchilla wants to forget By PETER H. KING Associated Press Writer CHOWCHILLA, Calif. (AP) — Men in sweaty workclothes and a woman in big hair curlers sipped coffee at the counter of the Tommy Hawk Restaurant, once jammed with reporters from across the nation. Hardly a word is uttered about the alarm that went out one year ago today: 26 children and the driver of a school bus were kidnaped.

Dial is married and the father of 4 children. The Powell tells a visiting reporter on a scorching summer day. “You people from out of town are more interested in it now than we are.” Those who think about the case at all say they would rath er forget it. And some think the only people who care about the busnaping case are reporters who have to cover the current pre-trial hearings for three de fendants. The hearings, re cessed today, were to resume Monday. Jim Dumas was mayor dur ing the busnaping. He blames the media for prolonging the at tention heaped on this normally peaceful community of 4,500. family makes its home in i Carrollton. ' The Rev.

(AP) “What do you guys want to come back here and stir it all up for?” he demands. “I would have just preferred to let the anniversary day pass without any notice whatsoever.” For some of the youngsters involved in the incident, it isn’t so easy. The trauma continues for Mike Marshall, 15. The kidnap occurred on the only day he took the bus home from school. “I’m more cautious of stuff,” he says. He was the oldest of the youngsters kidnaped that day and has been credited with helping engineer their escape. “I don’t think I will ever for get it. When I come home by myself ... at night — I wouldn’t have thought about it before — but now I think about the kid naping and get a little scared.” On that day last July 15 when the children failed to come home from their summer school outing and their abandoned bus ARE YOU "60" OR OVER? “Hey, This Is Your Sunday At LANDMARK CHURCH OF GOD 309 N.

We welcome people of all denominations to come to the services and join the spiritual fellowship during the camp meeting,” he said. V .v Rev. William Lewis was found near a dusty road side, an all-out search was launched. But the youngsters and driver Ed Ray were 100 miles away, trapped in a buried moving van. After 18 hours in the makeshift prison, they managed to burrow to freedom. None was seriously injured by the brush with death, a fact which may have made the incident easier for this sun baked town to forget. Chowchilla does have one concern as its star of notoriety fades. Some townspeople feel that the three young men charged in the case may never be tried. James Schoenfeld, 24, his brother Richard, 23, and Fred erick Woods, 24, are being held in Alameda County as the pre trial hearings continue. They have pleaded innocent to kidnap and robbery charges and are being held in lieu of $1 million bail each.
