COURIER Photo by EGO Probation dept. helps collect restitution County Executive David Bruen announced that the Putnam County Probation Department has collected more than $43,900 in restitution and fines this past year. According to Probation Director Hans J. Schlange, the Probation Department, in its reports to the various Putnam courts, has pushed for reimbursing the victims of crime for their losses. Director Schlange stated that his department's thrust in making judges aware of the victim's loss is directly in line with a new law signed by Governor Carey on July 26. This new law, effective Nov. 1, will require local probation departments to include the consequences of the offense on the victim. Although Schlange indicates that.his department has always contacted the victim in an attempt to portray their feelings to the judges, this new law will .mandate that similar practices be done by all New York State Probation Departments. \Restitution is only part of assisting victims,\ says Hans Schlange,\ but it helps take some of the sting out of being a criminal's prey. \We've stepped up our efforts over the past year in attempts to collect restitution and we're happy to see that both the district attorney's office as well as the judges are in cooperation.\ Restitution is ordered as a condition of probation, and failure to pay, according to Schlange, will result in violation of probation and, therefore, a return to court for resentencing. \Last year we collected $5,708 in restitution and fines: this vear we collected $43,920.63, a 765% increase,\ stated the probation director. invite Reagan to celebration Merchants being sent copies of county laws Former Congressman Hamilton Fish Sr. is inviting President Ronald Reagan to attend a celebration of the 200th anni- versary of the end of the Revolutionary War, scheduled for April 19, 1983, in Newburgh.

Merchants in Putnam County will be mailed copies this week of a new county law restricting the sale of cigarette rolling paper, and copies of a County Legislature resolution asking merchants to voluntarily discontinue the sale of certain magazines relating to the drug trade. County Executive David D. Bruen, who signed newly enacted laws banning \head shops\ and restricting cigarette paper sales, said copies will be sent by certified mail to all related business establishments in Putnam. Bruen said he has directed County Consumer Affairs Director Lillian Styburski to make the notifications to merchants. He asked her to \emphasize to the business people that their voluntary compliance with the resolution regarding magazines is important to inhibit the use of illegal drugs.
