Environment - More on: "U.S. moving forward with lake evictions: 2 homes still occupied despite repeated extensions, threats"

The feds continue to have trouble with an eviction at the Dunes National Lakeshore. Updating this ILB entry from Jan. 14, 2011, Teresa Auch Schultz reports today in the Gary Post-Tribune:

A Beverly Shores woman still refuses to move out of her Indiana dunes house, a year after federal prosecutors filed to evict her, according to new court records.

U.S. prosecutors filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court in Hammond a writ for assistance, asking a federal judge to give the U.S. Marshal’s office permission to remove Deborah Pavel from the house, which is owned by the federal government. * * *

U.S. District Judge Joseph Van Bokkelen ruled in January against Pavel, saying she had to leave. However, according to the writ for assistance, Pavel refuses to leave and ignored a March 6 notice to vacate by April 7.
