How's my driving? Call-in program gets mixed reviews j By DEB RIECHMANN Aaaoclated Preaa Writer WASHINGTON- David Reiner nearly rammed his pickup il\tO a delivery van that braked suddenly on a busy road in Southern California. The van driver glared at Reiner in his rearview mirror, then stomped on his . brakes again and again. Reiner grabbed his cell phone and dialed the toll-free " How's My Driving?" number on the back of the van. "This driver - I don't know what I did to make him angry - but he kept slamming his brakes in front of me. Jt almost seemed like he 1.11as try ing to get me to rear-end him, " Reiner of Arleta, Calif. told a representative of FleetSafe, a Georgia company that fields unsafe driving calls from motorists nationwide. Now affixed to hundreds of thousands of 18-wheelers and oth~r commercia! vehicles rolling across America, decals that solicit reckless driving complaints can result in reprimands and warni ngs - and sometimes even pink slips for drivers who accumulate complaints. Some companies answer their own complaint calls from motonsts. Others hire firms like FleetSafe or DriverCheck, both in Atlanta.• Safety Alert Network in Metaif.ie, ·La., and DriversAiert in Boca Raton. Fla., to collect the comments and compile incident reports. About a decade old, "How's My Driving"" decals get mixed reviews. . Some truckers and tleet safety ofticials think they ' re a good idea. ''I'm not scared of answering to safety," Dan Hallford, a trucker from Montgomery, Ala., said at· an Interstate 70 truck stop in Frederick, Md. Convinced they make drivers .more safety-conscience, some insur, an_ce companies offer discounted premmms to fleets whose trucks carry the decals. Ftreman's Fund Insurance Co. pays for monitoring 30,000 commercia! vehicles operated by ~ompanies it insures, says Paul Farrell, loss control manager. And it pays off, he said: "Fleets that use the program.hav e 20 percent fewer accidents." · Others are skeptical. "I don 't think it makes the roads any safer. You get too matiy people getting mad at truckers and just calling in," said Wallace Harris of Vernon, Ala., who has been driving trucks for 30 years. " People will call in and I will have no way to defend myself. " · FleetSafe could not disclose what; if anything, happened to the van driver who slammed on his brakes in Fire at refinery sends gasoline futures soaring front of Reiner. · To verify complaints, motorists are quizzed about each incident they report. FleetSafe's call ce~ter asked Reiner: What type of vehicle was it? ("A white van,") Was the weather clear and _dry' ("A little cloudy.") Was trafltc hght or heavy? (" Moderale.") Hts complamt then was fax ed to the \k hvery company, whtch would dcctdc whether to discipline the dri vcr. . .

Ms. Eastman says. "Sometimes you get somebody who has a grudge against a driver and are just calling to get them in trouble." That's the exception, not the rule, says Ken Rees, national sales manager for DriverCheck. He says trucking eompanies tell him that only a "Ninety percent of the incidents are caused by only 10 percent of the drivers," Rees said. "The idea is to pinpoint that small body of folks and change their behavior through counseling and safety programs- before an accident occurs." · More than 90 per~en! of the drivers are never the target of a complaint, says FleetSafe president Rtchard tea.

Welfare rolls in the state have dropped from an all-time high· 748, 7171n March 1992 to 284,482 .last December, the lowest level in Ohio since 1970. The figure has increase slightly to 285,251) during February, but welfare officials say it's too early to determine whether that represents an upward tr~nd. In February, 10,178 cases were closed. Of those, 3,947 were-dropped because they failed to comply with procedures, .said Jon Allen, a spokesman for the Ohio Department of Human Services. That could mean I some,one didn't show up for an appointment or they simply got a job that paid more than the benefits and didn't tell the county, he said. The dropped cases also include ·2,J32 in which the recipient didn 't work the required 30 hours each week. The first time that happens, the recipient loses a month's benefits; the third time, up to six months' benefits. . Additionally, 2,024 people were taken off the rolls because they exceeded caps on personal income, which vary from family to family, Allen said. That could mean they got a substantial raise or a better job, he said. As for what has happened to people whq get off welfare, the department is trying to get the money for two studies on the subject. However, Allen said lllat's difficult to gauge because once they leave, they are not likely to stay in touch. ' The new rules are intended to ease recipients -· even the hardest to employ - into the work force, Allen said. "Counties are preaching welfare reform and the message that it's an entitlement anymore .... It's 'What help does someone need to get job?' Maybe someone doesn't even have to come on the (welfare) rolls," Allen said.

It was also the night Milosevic found the voice -that would carry h1m to power -- and transfonn th•s bureaucrat into a butch· er who sent h1s troops into Kosovo to enforce a scorched-earth pohcy that has left almost a quarter of the population homeless. But like everything 10 the troubled Balkans, the Kosovo story goes back : much further For although Kosovo 1s nearly 90 percent ethnic Albaman, th1s - tiny province IS considered by many Serbs to be the cradle of their culture. "Kosovo is Jerusalem to the Serbs," one Serbian nationalist explained to us last year. "It is the holy graJI It is the place of pilgnmage. It is the place which stirs our hearts and souls." Kosovo was, indeed, the cradle of ancient Serb1a. In the most celebrated battle in Serbian history, 11 was there, tn 1389, that their grand hero Pnnce Lazar fell to the Ottoman Turks •• the last effort to hold back the invading anny. A g1ant monument to Lazar and the Serb1ans who died in that fight drew a pilgrimage of more than 1 mllhon Serbs m 1989, the 600th anmversary of the struggle It was called the Battle of Kosovo PoiJe, the F1eld of Black· buds. The losses were so great on both stdes that it ts satd birds picked on the corpses for months In the 20th century, however, ethnic Albanians managed to conquer this Serbian province by sheer dmt of populabon. With the highest b1rth rate in . E\lrope, Albanians have grown steadtly over the decades as a percentage of the population, even as Belgrade retamed polittcal control over the provmce. The pol began to boll last wmter, when the rag-tag Kosovo Liberation Anny began tts fight for independence aga10st M1losev•c's crackdown in that region. Ironically, ethnic Albamans enJoyed far more autonomy when Yugoslavia was under Commumst rule than they ,did under Mtlosevic's iron • fist. As part of hts nationalist campaign for a "greater Serbia," Mtlosevic has been brutal in suppressmg all attempts and mdependence by the Albaman majonty After months of careful negotJatJons, the United Nations managed to broker a cease-fire last October. But that fizzled m January, when MIIOSCVIC launched his scorched-earth offensive to wipe out the Albaman resistance, a campaJgn that's cost hundreds of innocent c1vihan hves and produced hundreds of thousands of refugees The cease-fire broken, NATO and the United States had virtually no choice but to mtervene. Had the slaughter contmued, a mghtmare scenario _ could have ensued featuring neighbonng Macedoma and Albania jommg the battle on behalf of theu ethmc cousms Had Serb1a responded by sendmg 1ts troops into Macedonia, 11 could have thrown Greece and Turkey mto the mix Before long, a regional ethmc squabble could sow the seeds of a conttnent·wtde bloodbath wtth worldwide tmphcatJOns. Reports from Russ1a are that thousands of Muscovites have called to volunteer for battle agamst the NATO forces Anti-Western sentiment is already deep in Russia, in part because that country ts once agam grovehng to mterfl&tional authorities for money to pay its debts Prime M1n1ster Yevgeny Primakov, scheduled to VISit the Umted States th1s week, turned around midflight when he heard of the NATO plans to bomb It remains extremely unlikely that Russ1a would enter the fray on Serbia's behalf-- yet the bombmg is sure to mname nabonahst senbment m a country already soured on Western-style reforms. The questtons now rema1010g are the same ones confronted by pohcy· makers when they sent troops to Bosma in 1994 How long will the troops rema10 10 Kosovo to keep the peace, and what w1ll happen once they're gone? More Importantly -- can there be peace 10 the Balkans while Mllosevic and his plans for "greater Serbia" are st1ll in power?

Also affected arc elite public high schools and magnet schools. Already, two states, California and Washington, have ended -- by ballot mittatlves -- the consideration of race. And as a result of a Fifth Circu1t Court of Appeals decision (the Hopwood case), race as a factor 10 college admissions has also ended in Texas, Lou1siana and Mississtppi. The First Circuit Court of Appeals (Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Puerto Rico) has ruled that a racial preference system for the prestigious Boston Latm School 1s unconstitutional. The Boston School Committee has been persuaded by the NAACP and the U S Department of Educabon not to appeal to the Supreme Court, for fear of another defeat for this form of affinnative action Recently, a Federal District Judge in •the 1tth CircUit has ruled •• as the Chronicle of Htgher Education reports -- that "the Umversity of Georg•a used an unconstitutional admissions pohcy from 1990 to 1995 that gave preference to black applicants." In the Georgia case, Judge B Avant Edenfield decided that the Umverstty's method of mcreasing the diversity of 1ts student body resulted in "stigmatizing, polarizing costs tmposed by rac1al classifications " "Beyond group-level hanns are the realmjuries suffered by innocent md1viduals" that prevented a plamtiff "solely on the basts of his skm color from competing on an equal footing." The fundamental issue, sa1d the court, is the 14th Amendment's guarantee of "equal protect1on of the laws " The Judge quoted Lew1s Powell m the 1978 Bakke case. Powell had sa1d that race could be one of a number of factors in deciding admissions, but could not be the determm10g factor, because "the guarantee of equal protection cannot mean one thmg when applied to one individual and somethmg else when applied to a person of another color." The Univers1ty of Georg1a had used "dual-tracking" 1n tts admisSions policy Applications were divided into two piles -- one for blacks and one for non-blacks. The blacks did not have to meet the grade-poml and LSAT standards that the wh1tes had to achieve for admission. The only justification for racial classifications, the Court continued, would be a compelling state , interest That can be shown 1f there IS evtdence that in a particular institution, there are still PfCSCnl effects of previous racial discrimination. This was notm evidence m the Georgia case Trying to achieve diversity to remedy general historic, societal discrimination, the court emphaSized, is not a compelling state interest "However noble th1s general goal is," saJd the judge, it would be "a cause for consternation 1f a court accepted a tenn as malleable as 'diversity' in satisfaction of the compelling interest needed to JUstify governmentally-sponsored rac1al dts· tmctlons Notions of 'racial entitlement' wtll be fostered." Referring to the NAACP's support, 10 this case, of the uni11ersity's racial preferences, the judge noted that the NAACP argument was not "narrowly tailored" to prove a compelling state interest Accordmgly, "if one is to hmit consideration to generalities, any proponent of any nollon of d•vers1ty could recite a similar litany of v1rtues." tectiOn. n I Moneltekl INO Meanwhile, the University of Massachusetts, which had been using racial-preference guidelines, has now significantly limited that policy in view of the changing climate. And San Francisco has stopped ass1gmng students to pubhc-school classes on the basis of race or cthnicity. Ward Connerly, who was mstrumcntal 1n the endmg of ractal preference in college adm•ss1ons in Cahforma, has begun a Florida campaign to get a similar mitiative on the ballot 1n next year's general election Gov. Jeb Bush calls h1m "divistve," but Connerly again is going duectly to the electorate to get 453,073 Signatures for a place on the ballot.

I spoke w1th Athens County Engmeer Arch1e Stanley on March 12, and he told me that members of the group had been to h1s office trymg to pressure h1m to oppose the proJect. I am a resident of Pomeroy and I have a bust ness m Pomeroy. My bustness regularly requues me or my son to travel U S 33 between Darwin and Athens. My daughter works 10 Athens and has to use th1s road One of my employees ts one of those rare md1v1duals who hves near Athens and commutes to Pomeroy every day, usmg U S 33 I wonder if any of the CASH group have to depend on th1s road like I do. If they did, would they be in such oppositton to construction of this long overdue project? The fact of the matter ts 33 south of Athens ts far more important to Me1gs County than to Athens County The vast maJonty of the vehicles hoed up to turn onto Richland Ave,nue every mormng have Me•gs County license plates I am askmg any Athens Countians I have to deal with to keep thetr Me•gs County fnends in mmd when they are asked to oppose this project. CASH cla1ms that a new two lane h1ghway on a four lane nght of way that cuts four m10utes off a 15 mmute tnp 1s supernuous. The new road will not have res1denttal or commerc1al dnveways, access wtll be hmited to pubhe roads, the honzontal and verttcal alignments w1ll be such that there w1ll always be several hundred feet of stte distance, trucks won't have to gear down for hdls and school children won't have to wa1t for school buses next to a major thoroughfare. Ex1sting 33 couldn't poss1bly be upgraded to the same standards CASH asserts the econom1c benefits of the new h1ghway are overstated and that the area for which economiC growth should be directed is along US 50 between Athens and Coolv1lle Unemployment figures reported 1n our newspaper recently stated nationwide and statewide unemployment IS around four percent Meigs C!lunty's was nearly 14 percent. The state and natiOnal stahstics are remarkably low, but the Me1gs County slats are only slightly htgher than what has been typ1cal of the rates experienced for ' decades. I love Meigs County (that's why !live here) Unfortunately, though, economic life JS too hard for many of my fellow Me1gs Countians There aren't many JObs of any type m the county. Our kids have to leave the county find "Successful careers, or commute to adjoining counties like my dad did, my daughter IS domg and I d1d for several years. Pomeroy's population has been decllnmg for 100 years, so that 11 is now 1/6 the size 11 was m 1890 I'm old enough to have seen what has happened to Cambridge, Caldwell, Manetta, Parkersburg, and R1pley smce 1-77 was completed I've seen what happened to Jackson, Gallipolis, Athens and Logan after U.S 35, the Appalachian H1ghway and U.S 333 North were completed. And I've seen what happened to Pomeroy, M1ddleport, McArthur, McColinelsvlle and Woodsfield when they were tgnored I know it takes more that highways to create econom1c growth, butt! docs take h1ghways. I fully support this proJect and am unaware of any oppositiOn to the htghway from w1thm Metgs County (although by no means do I believe that it is impossible to fmd some) For th1s reason, I ask that all Me1gs Counllans who have reason to deal w1th Athens County make those folks aware of how Important th1s road ts to us. S10ce thetr elected offiCials are bemg pressured to oppose the project, I espec1ally hope that the Meigs County CommiSSIOn· ers keep thl!ir Athens County counterparts on our side EQgene Triplett, PE, PS Trlpllltl Englnaarlng Servlcn Pomeroy CASH should consider economics It has been brought to my attentton that the Department of TransportatiOn has committed 1tself to the funding of construction for the much needed h1ghway from Athens to Darwm and the construction of the Ravenswood Connector from F1ve Pomts to the Ravenswood Br•dge m Metgs County. The construction of these highways is the only hope that Meigs County has to succeed m growth to mcrease the tax base of our county Without these much needed htghways, Me1gs County will be faced with no growth, and the loss of Southern Oh1o Coal Company in a few years wtll put Me1gs County in a depressiOn that w1ll be greater than any heard tell of m the State of Oh1o and a tax base so high that no one can pay their taxes • Furthermore, lowering the bar only for blacks "presumes lower achievement ~ ~!ely on skin color," and therel>y "permtts government officials' unchecked power to apply statistical data and personal assumptions about a particular racial group's capabilities. Such race-counting cannot help but spawn race-based resentment, identity-group politics and, in indtvidual cases, nothing less than a barefaced denial of equal pro- It confuses me to read where CASH attacked ODOT for their part in building these two highway projects from Athens to the Ravenswood Bridge. The only chance Metgs County has for economtc development ts a new highway system. This will help all of Meigs County's population of 22,987 people For CASH to oppose a road program that wtll help a county with only $11,000 m growth per year is beyond my behef I would not like to be a part of an organization that would stop the only chance 22,987 people have to receive mdustnal growth and help with the tax base Our government's and our schools' only future is mdustnal growth I would recommend that CASH change thetr position and support something good for the State of Ohio and for Metgs County. Howard E. Frank Melge County TrHaurer Addresses road concerns It ts w1th a great deal of concern that I wnte th1s letter m relahon to the proposed Darwin to Athens htghway proJect It has come to my attention that there 1s a group 10 Athens County that 1s opposed to thts proJect. There is no doubt that th1s group is well meaning in their own mmd. However, I would question the state of mmd they are m 1f they s10cerely feel that the proposed highway is "superfluous " As the supenntendent of the largest school dtstrict if Meigs County, I feel that there are several concerns rel'ated to the construction of th1s proJeCt that should be relayed to the proper authorities I w1ll attempt to be bnef in my summary of these concerns The first concern is related lo educational opportumt1es. As a Superintendent, I know for a fact that the educational opportunities for the cittzens of Me•gs County beyond high school are extremely hmtted ,\ good per· centage of our graduates attend Oh1o Univers1ty and Hocking College Due to financ1al constraints, the vast maJonty of these students commute to school each day I also commuted to Oh10 Umversity for both my Bachelor's and Master's Degrees. The opportunities for adults to continue their education at Hocking College and Ohio Umvers1ty IS hm1ted by access. It is extremely frustrating to head north only to be greeted at Darwin by a twisting, turning, and dangerous htghway. My son, as well as many others, travels that highway every day in order to contmue their education. There is no doubt m my mind that the enrollment of Oh1o University and Hocking Col· lege would increase tf it were easier to access them from a safe highway My second concern 1s econom1c As a school superintendent, I am constantly made aware of the plight of school d1strict finances m th1s area Even w1th recent court dec1sions, school districts are extremely rehant on property taxes. It ts well known that, gtven the opportumty, people are apt to budd homes and relocate away from the c1t1es and travel to thetr employment 10 town Oh1o Umvers1ty employs a great number of people Many are from Meigs County. Many others would locate m the area around a good highway With access to Athens Homes of this type would add to the valuation of the Me1gs Local, Alexander Local, and Athens City School Dtstncts. After the roa1d is built, there ts also great potential for other infrastructure improvements m the h1ghway corrtdor to attract hght industry My last concern ts related to the safety of the traveling public Dunng the course of .i!y 48 years on this planet, I have traveled Route 33 from Pomeroy to Athens and pomts beyond thousands of t1mes One only needs to travel Rocksprings Road from Meigs High School to Darwm to reahze what the proposed h1ghway would replace. Rockspnngs Road is the original Route 33 from Darwm to Metgs H1gh School Traffic on Route 33 IS heavy at hmes There have been many wrecks on this lhghway, costmg huge amounts of money, pam and suffenng, and I am sure hves of human beings. Safer h1gh· ways would benefit the traveling pubhc for generatiOns. As a former Biology teacher, I consider myself to have remained keenly attuned to envtronmental concerns of lhts area. It 1s not hard to find mstances of Me1gs County being raped and pillaged by stnp mining, poor timber harvesting procedures and construction areas eroding our precious topsoil. The CASH group ts undoubtedly sincere in their opposition to this project. However, there ts the ab1hty to address their concerns as well as the concerns of the cttizens of Meigs and Athens Counties that must travel this highway a regular basis. It ts my smcere desue that the h•ghway proceed as prc1posedtllf. and that the envtronmental concerns of all interested part1es be into consideration There is no doubt that these issues can be addressed m a manner s•mllar to the Athens to Coolville road prOJects.

The Blade reported Sunday that the U S. government has risked the lives of thousands of workers by knowmgly allowmg them to be exposed to dangerous levels of berylhum- a metal cntlcal to Amenca's m1htary. Dunng the last five decades, hundreds of workers exposed to the metal's dust have contracted beryllium d1sease, an mcurable, sometimes fatal lung Illness. Dozens of people contracted the d1scase after exposure above federal safety hmits, The Blade reported. Some workers at pnvately operated weapons plants m Oh10 and Pennsylvama were exposed to levels of berylhum dust 100 times h1gher than safety hmits, the newspaper said, Citing government records Mart1n Powers, a former Atom1c Energy Comm1ss•on off•c•al m charge of obtammg beryllium for the government m the 1950s, sa1d federal offic1als knew about the high exposures and tried to control them He also sa1d the government d1dn 't want to stop mak1ng weapons "What IS the greater nsk? To poss1bly expose people to health InJUry m the plant or shut down the national defense?" Powers asked Although several government, SCientific, and mdustry reports showed the malenal could not be made Without puttmg workers m extreme danger, federal officials continued to push for 1ts production. At the nation's largest beryllium plant JUSt outs1de Toledo, at least 39 workers have contracted the d1sease after bemg exposed to unsafe levels of tmuc dust. S1x workers have died The plant near Elmore, owned by Cleveland-based Brush Wellman Inc., never has complied consJstently w1th federal safety hm1ts 10 all parts of the factory, the newspaper sa1d Dr Peter Infante, standards rev1ew dtrector for the Occupational Safety and Health Admm•stratwn, sa1d the government has faded to protect the workers "These are all deaths and d1sease that could have been prevented," Infante sa1d "That's the sad th10g about 11." Brush Wellman says 11 always has posted air test results on plant bullelln boards and has d1scussed the h1gh exposures w1th employees. But 11 acknowledged that by the lime h1gh dust counts are reported, the .workers already have been exposed Hugh Hanes, the company's v1ce pres1dent for government affaus, told The Associated Press on Sunday that the company and the govern me~! were not attempt10g to h1de any 10forma11on from workers. "The 1dea that there has been a consp1racy IS wrong," he sa1d Hanes sa1d the company has 10vested greatly in protect10g 1ts workers and constantly momtors beryllium levels so 11 can operate w1th10 federal safety limits. "We are gett10g closer and closer to that goal," Hanes sa1d The newspaper said the danger wasn't limited to weapons plant workers Other compames use beryllium to make 1tems such as golf clubs, but no one knows how many workers are potentJally exposed. ' About two dozen people have contracted the d1sease from dust earned mto their homes by beryllium workers. Some of them have been women who washed thetr husbands' work clothes Beryllium 1s a gray metal hghter than alum10um, yet s1x hmes stiffer than steel It is VItal to the operatmn of m1ssiles, Jel fighters and nuclear weapons There have been attempts by safety regulators to protect workers from tts dust, but defense and 10dustry off1C1als have scuttled those plans, The Blade sa1d. President Carter's defense and rnergy secretanes helped k1ll one safety plan 10 the 1970s. They feared cutt10g off beryllium supphes for weapons would "s•gmficantly and adversely affect our natiOnal defense," US Energy Secretary James Schles10ger wrote to two Cabmet members at the 11me It's not clear how many people have contracted the d1sease. Researchers cite an estimated 1,200 cases and hundreds of deaths nat1onw1de, but say many other cases are m•sd•agnosed or undetected. Doctors first d1scovered the substance was tox1c in the 1940s after workers 10 the Cleveland area and elsewhere who produced beryllium weapons for World War II were sickened by the dust Workers 10 the nouescent hght 1ndustry also were among the f•rst exposed Dunng the arms race and the space race m the 1950s and 1960s, production grew at plants operated by Brush Berylhum, the predecessor to Brush Wellman. A company document sa1d that when the government cons•dered closmg the Elmore plant because of overexposure, Navy and Atomic Energy CommissiOn officials "obJected because they needed the metal for nuclear weapons and Polans (m•ss•le) parts." The Energy Department maintains there IS no substitute for beryllium "Bu1ldmg weapons is an extraordmanly nsky process," sa1d Dr Paul Seligman, duector of the department's health studtes off1ce. 7.7:1 a.m. Saturday, state !louie 338, 112 p m Sunday, Rockspnngs RebaGlona Ross, treated at the scene.• blhlanon Ccnler, Pomeroy, Mary Roger, REEDSVILI.E , Veterans Memonal Hospital, Pomeroy 8.19 p.m. Sunday, B1gley Ridge Road, squad assisled, 2 07 p m Sunday, Sycamore Street, Virgil Colhns, St. Joseph's Hos(1iml.

Dear Ann Landen: I was invited to the wedding of a close friend last fall. Instead of giving my friend. and her husband mot;tey, l commissioned a local anist to make a gift for the ·couple. The artist to1d me it would take about a month for the work to be completed. I wrote my friend a note apologizing for .the delay and explained that I was having something special made for them.

The old control tower was taken out of service a year ago when a new tower began operating. Demolition began Monday on the old tower, which survived powerful winds that blew out its windows in 1986. The 120-foot tower stood unfinished for months during its construction in 1969. But then-U.S. Transportation Secretary John Volpe visited Cincinnati, saw the project and demanded that it be completed, despite a purported shortage of money for technical equipment.

Larry Spencer, clerk of couf!S, briefly dis· cussed moving the county title office from the courthouse into the County Government Anne~ (formerly the Meig~~ County Home). Spencer said he does not favor moving the office, but said increasing demands for the limited space available . in the courthouse are making t~e move necessary. . ' He wants to use the current title office to house records and a microfilm . machine for the legal department. . Spencer said the move will have to be made by Oct. 16, the date on which upgrades !0 the state computer system must be completed. During ·a meeting with County Engineer Robert Eason, the board accepted bituminous paving material bids from Asphalt Materials Inc., Marietta, and Middleport Terminal Co., Gallipolis, asphaltic concrete bids from Shelly Materials, Racine, and United Asphalt Corp., Thornville, and aggregate bids from Shelly Materials, Racine, for April with suppliers to be selected at the county engineer's discretion. . . Eason also presented the board with a copy of the highway department's annual report which . includes the agencies five-year plan of paving all office move cons1dered . coupty roads. . Currently, all but approximately 15 of the 200pi Uti miles on the county system are paved, it was noled. . In addition, Eason said bids for the replacement of the Hobson Bridge spanning Leading Creek in Middleport would be awarded May 12 wl'!h. construction of the new bridge to be finished w thin 270 days of that date. He also said the highway department has completed redecking a Slllall span on a creek crossing on Zuspan Hollow Road near Middleport; a project requested by the board of commissioners. Commissioners Janet Howard and Mick Davenport, along with ProseCtjling Attorney John R. Lentes, thanked Eason for the department's assistance. Engineer Robert Eason said he could not recommend a three-way traffic stop at the junction of Forest Run and Minersville Hill roads in Sutton Township. Eason eKplained the Ohio traffic manual calls for multiway stops only where the traffic on the intersected roads is approximately equal. Traffic op Forest Run Road is approximately twi ce that using Minersville Hill Road. ' The traffic count on Forest Run Road was 810 vehicles at a point just east of Minersville Hill Road and 744 vehicles just west of Minersville Hill · Road. Counts were taken on March 23 and March 22, respectively, over an eight-hour perjod. T)le traffi c count on MinersviUe Hill Road, near the intersection of Forest Run Rciad, was 375 vehiCles during an eighl·hour period on ·March 24. · The manual also suggests a multiway stop where there is ·a sight clearance problem and.a bad traffic accident problem. In checking wiih the county sheriff's office office, we find that there have been no accidents at this intersection in the past t;.o years; according to Eason.' To alleviate a problem with high-speed traffic past the nearby Forest Run United Methodist Church, he recommended the church obtain a flashing "church" sign that could be controlled by the congregation as needed. Making a three-way stop at the junction would likely result in more accidents, he said. • Commissioners also met with Jean Trussell , county housing director, and approved Multicon of Jackson, with Michael Stroth, president, as rehabili'tation consultant.for the county's current Community Housing Improvement Project at a cost 9f $52,052. The company's bid was the only bid received. Commissioners approved a request by Robert Byer, director of Meigs County Emergency Ser· vices, to sell a 1982 ambulance formerly used by the Middleport EMS squad. Byer also presented the board with a letter from the Local Emergency Planning Committee supporting construction of a new U.S. Route 33 from Athens to Da!Win.
