Just a heads up for everyone. We were notified about Greene County. One of
our archaeologists went down yesterday. I left early, so am not sure what
happened yet.
Thanks for keeping an eye out for us

Thanks for the responses. I was thinking along these lines but wanted some
input first.
I guess it's time to gird loins and march to the battle.

Dear Larry:
If it were me, I would certainly notify DNR. There's zero chance they will
do anything about it if they don't know anything about the situation.
Obviously that's not a guarantee that anything will be done, but it's
certainly worth making an effort to let them know. Personally, I'd start
with Jeannie Regan-Dinius < JRdinius(a)dnr.state.in.us >. I've lost faith in
my local Prosecutor, but if the pressure to prosecute comes from DNR, maybe
yours will be more responsive.
Lois

The DNR seems to hae aggressively pursued the Brown County (IN) case
where
a man bulldozed a cemetery to put in a septice system - but I've seen
other
posts critical of their efforts.
A few nights ago I was told of at least two cemeteries in the
Greene/Monroe
Counties area that have been bulldozed and one where a man
built his house in the middle of it. The man who told me said he has talked
with the prosecutor and a township trustee and no one seems interested.
Is it worthwhile to notify the DNR for an investigation?
