LANSING (AP) - The writer-

such as Amway Corp. didn't real-

Dick DeVos was running for gov-

But the Utah moviemaker saw
a chance to influence the politi-

and has brought the movie to

"Believe" yesterday evening at

movie is billed as a "lighthearted
yet excoriating" mockumentary of
the "surreally enthusiastic world

It's the first film for the 34-year-
old filmmaker, who lives in Orem,
Utah, near Salt Lake City. Mul-

Man could receive
life in prison for
string of arsons
CLYDE TOWNSHIP (AP) -
Acting on a tip, authorities have
arrested and charged a man in a
string of arsons, including one
that killed 18 horses in their barn
at a Port Huron-area farm.
Investigators say they believe
that John Jay Searles, 23, of
Marysville, set several fires Sept.
9 along a road in St. Clair Coun-
ty's Clyde Township, about 50
miles north-northeast of Detroit.
The Michigan Arson Preven-
tion Committee and other donors
offered an $8,500 reward for
information leading to an arrest.

After getting an anonymous
tip, authorities arrested the sus-
pect in Clinton Township in near-
by Macomb County on Tuesday.
He was arraigned yesterday in
District Court on charges includ-
ing arson and attempted murder.
Searles stood mute to the
charges and a not guilty plea
was entered on his behalf, the
prosecutor's office said. He was
ordered held on $750,000 bond
and a preliminary examina-
tion was expected in about two
weeks.
Searles didn't yet have a law-
yer, the prosecutor's office said.
There was no telephone listing in
Marysville for Searles.
If convicted, he faces up to life
in prison.

"In my 39 years in law enforce-
ment, we've had arsonists on the
loose burning hay piles and barns
but nothing this dramatic," St.
Clair County Sheriff Dan Lane
said. "This case has touched a lot
of hearts."
The fire at Classic Quarter
Horses killed 18 horses that had
been in a barn.
Farm worker Kelly DeJean,
who cared for the animals, said
the arrest would not remove the
horror of the fires.
"I still see it," she told the
Times Herald of Port Huron.
"And it still bothers me."
Horse farm owner Beverly
McCollom said the fire destroyed
28 years of hard work. She said
she was relieved by the arrest.

In 'U' History
Worker's death
shrouded in
mystery
Sept. 22, 1986 - Two days
ago a medical researcher at
the University was found dead
behind the University's ticket
office at 1000 S. State St. Police
estimate that the 25-year-old
researcher, Edward Hershey,
fell nearly 50 feet.
Allen Hartwig, an Ann Arbor
police sergeant, said it appeared
that Hershey was trying to
climb the building. Police found
a conduit pipe on the side of the
building that was bent and torn
loose from the brackets that
held it in place.
"He apparently was trying to
move from one roof to the other,
or climbing a conduit pipe,"
Hartwig said.
It is unclear why Hershey was
scaling conduit piping 50 feet
above the ground.
Another University employee
found Hershey's body early in
the morning Saturday. Hartwig
said it appeared that the right
side of his head had been
crushed.
