Based on new data we've seen, thinas are worse than we suspected. Government data reveal that last year, doztns of poultry plants nationwide were allowed to operate while being cited almost daily for fecal contamination. A chicken's feces can contain a host of harmful bacteria, including the deadly strain of E. coli, salmonella and carnpylobacter. Because o.f the way chickens are processed, a single carcass can contaminate thousands of others. Lawyers at the Government Accountability Project are in the. process of identifying some of the worst "fecal" plants. So far, a Perdue plant in Lewiston, N.C., which was written ·up 129 times 'i n less tha_n three months, tops the list. Over the same I 0 weeks, the plant also collected. 335 citations for other safety and cleanliness violations. The planl Is the third · largest chicken processing plant in the nation. Rounding out the top five fecal :violators was another Perdue . plant in Dillon, S.C., with 92; a Tyson plant in Monroe, N.C., with 91; a BC Rogers pl.ant in Morton, Miss., with 74; and a Marshall Durbin plant in Hattiesburg, Miss., with 73. Rod Flagg, director of quality asaurance al Perdue, said some plants had a hard time making the transition io . ·the new· government inspection system, which went.into effect in January t998. ·He added that the number of fecal violations at the . Lewiston . plant dropped to just over 60' in .the. last quarter. _ Tyson said, in a statement responding to our calls, that "there was a great deal of subjective ·interpretation o'l zero tolerance regulations, which, in extreme cases, resulted in defining any and all foreign material as·fecal matter." Tyson also said their tests for E. colLand salmonella showed contamination at background In recent weeks, many area residents have signed peti· tions supportjng construction of a new highway from Athens to Darwin. Every day, the petftions - · more than 60 sheets as of last week - and letters encouraging construction of the highway flow into the Meigs County Courthouse. • · But the petitions and letters simply aren't enough; what i~ needed is a "show of force" of the public's will that the project proceed as planned, funded ... and deserved.

They use the same pesticide and fertilizer as rwo neighboring farms which have also suffered similar problems. But the Yamalls' farm also sits near a large chemical plant. In 1992, the plant was targeted by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for accele(ated cleanup because of long-term radioactiv~ ·contamination. But both the EPA and the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture have taken soil samples at the farms thai showed no radio~tlvity. · Resear~rs and veterinarians at Pennsylvania State Uni rsity have autopsied ilozens of ani~ rnals.

AP Military Writer WASHINGTON (AP)- After two weeks of bombing by high-flying jets, NATO is about to introduce into the Yugoslav air campaign the Apache helicopter · gunship, one of the Army's most versatile killing mll!=hines. Adding Apaches marks an escalation of NATO 's war effort but also deepens the risk to American pilots. " If they go in aggressively - which they will. : because that's what they do - then we're going to take losses;" said retired Army Col. Harry Summers, an analyst who has written extensively about milita,ry affairs. The only allied plane that has · gone down on Yugoslav territory since. the start of the conflict was a U.S. Air ,force F-117A stealth fighter-bomber on , March 27. The Pentagon won 't say what caused it to crash, but defense officials said privately it probably was hit by a surface-to-air miss.ile. The pilot ejected and was rescued - a happy ending less likely in the event an Apache goes down. NATO already is using a wide variety of planes to strike military targets in and around Kosovo, but the Apache is more than just another aircraft. Designed to fly the " nap of the earth"- just· a few feet off the · ground - the Apache operates "up close and person· al " with enemy troops, as Army pilots like to say. .Some liken the attack helicopter to flying artillery, with · the added edge of operating at nighl. · _ Apaches, flown with a crew of two, are armed with as many as 16 Hellfire missiles designed to knock out . tanks and other armor, plus 70mm rockets and a 30mm ·• · · Ttie AH-64A "Apeche" attack chopper the 24 Apaches will step foot in Yugoslavia. They may be within range of Serb artillery. • NATO officials said Tuesday that the Albanian governmenl has agreed to host the Apaches and their support units, but it likely will take more than a week before the helicoplers are ready to operate over Kosovo. That is due in part to strains on air transport in Europe as the allies gear up humanitarian relief flighls into Albania for the hundreds of thousands of displaced Kosovar Albanians. It also reflects the complications of asse.mbling numerous support unils for the Apaches -including a battalion of multiple-launch rocket systerns to provide protection against Serb air defenses. The Apaches will come from the 11th Aviation Regimenl of the Army's 5th Corps in Germany. · Helicopters have played a role in every major U.S. conflict since the 1950-53 Korean War, but it "Was in Vietnam that they began working in tandem with ground troops to altack enemy armor with rockets. American helicopters flew an astounding 36 million sorties- defined as a single flight by a single aircraft - during the Vielnam War, according to the Anny Cenler for Military History. By Summers' count, only 10 U.S. helicopters were lost over North Vielnam, but 2,066 went down in hostile circumstances in the South . In all, 668 helicopter pilots and 1,471 crew mem~rs were.killed in action. ln·the 1991 Persian Gulf War,lhc Apaches were star performers. On ,the opening night of the 'air war they punched a hole in Iraq's air defense network, opening a door for allacks by, American fighter planes.

AIIOCIIIId Preas Wrller WASHINGTON (AP) - Even as the Clinton admin' istration keeps vowing not to add U.S. ground troops to ·the NATO airslrikes in Yugoslavia, momentum in CongresS appea"' to be shifting in favor of such an option as a fast-approaching l~t resort. "When you are in a war, you are in to win," said Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., one of a group of 13 law·, makers who began a visit to Europe today with Defense Secretary William Cohen for .NATO consultations on the crisis. Hagel, a Vietnam veteran and member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said his views come despite the fact that most of the cOnstituents he has heard from are opposed to U.S. involvement in Kosovo. "'I'm convinced that our leadership and the leader. ship of NATO felt that Milosevic would fold up after a : substantive air campaign," Rep. Ike Skelton, 0 -Mo.; · another member of the delegation, said in an interview. · : "But he hasn't." . . Skelton, ~nio.r Democrat on t~e House Armed Se(· : vices Committee, said he participated a few years ago in · an Air Force study of.Lhe Persian Gulf air war, "'and the : bollom line was, you can't win with just ao air cam· : paign." · "You need ground forces," he said. However, House Democratic leader Dick Gephardt said Tuesday that discussion of ground troops was "irrelevant at this .point. NATO hasn't asked for them, the president hasn't a,sked for them;" he said. "I don'tlhilik we ought to say no ground troops," said Gephardt, R-Mo. But, "I don.' tthink you speak on that until it's asked, and.no one's asked:" When Congress began its two-week spring recess ort March 26, there was overwhelming OpP\)sition to using ground troops for anything other lhan enforcing a "peace agreement, particularly among majority-party Republicans. And even support for that was narrow. On March l1 the House, on a 219-191 vote, passed a resolution authorizing U.S. inv,olvement in a NATO groumj force- but only to enforce a peace agreed to by 'both sides. The Senate voted 58-41 on March 23 to support airstrikes only, after Serbs spurned peace efforts. Lawmakers had expected tb return to Washington next week to grapple with the federal ~udget, Social Security, Medicare . and other domestic priorities. Instead, they've got an undecl~red war on lheir hands. Congressional officials said the ad111inistration was planning a series ofbriefings for lawmakers when Con· gress returns. The president is tentatively expected to host· the top leaders at the White House on Monday night, and a larger group on Tuesday. Officials will be dispatched to the Capitol to provide information to ·rank-and-file lawmakers. • • "TWo weeks ago, the United States had several very good options for .dealirig with the problem in Kosovo, "said Rep. Christopher Cox, R·Ca,lif.·, chairman 'o f the House Republican Policy Committee. "Today, there.are n.one," Cox added. "The bombing campaign with no 'Plan B' has left the United States very visibly responsible for the acceleralion of misery in Kosovo. It is impossible now for President Clinton to fail wilhout the United States failing as well." · Rep. Ellen Tauscher, D-Calif., a member of the .House Armed Services Committee, said in an interview that she looked forward to the trip with Cohen so· she could look NATO military planners in the eye "and see what their sense of the situation is." · "I've been increasingly concerned over the past.ten days that ground forces may be. necessary. I'm very interested in seeing where we are," Tauscher said. COhen and the bipartisan group of lawmakers also planned to visit with' some U.S. forces in the region on Thursday, including those stationed at Aviano Air Base in Italy. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., a senior member of the Senate Armed Services Commi.ttce and a 2000 GOP presidential aspirant, has been outspoken among Republicans in recently urging Clinton not to rule out the use of ground fon:es . . "We are in it; now we mus1 win," says McCain. a Navy fighter pilot"who was a prisoner of war in Viet- Airstrikes, human rights, missiles complicate Chinese Premier visit nam for 5 1/2 years. He also is traveling with Cohen. Senale Armed Services Commillee Chairman John Warner. R· Va., suggested the capture and imprison· meal of the three American soldiers and the mounting refugee crisis had upped the stakes. "It's not just the cr~dibility of NATO, it's the credibility of the United · States in other very troubled areas of the world," said Warner. . . Sen. Dick Lugar, R-Ind., a senior member of the Foreign Relations Commillee, and Sen. Joseph Biden of Delaware, the senior Democrat on that panel, both have suggested recently that lhe Clinton administration's refusal to consider ground troops was a mistake. Despite the apparent shift in sentiment, many lawmake"' still oppose sending troops to the Balkaas. Rep. Tom Campbeii, ·R-Calif., asked House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-111., to convene a special session of Congress this week to consider such a vote. Campbell claims Clinton has exceeded his authority to. use military force in Kpsovo - and that only Congress can make such a decision. · However,· Hastert had no planf to call Congress back before it returns next Monday, aides said. The president has said he is not considering the use of ground troops. This s~ould remain, the case, '"partic.ularly given the way the operation in the Balkans has been managed to this point," said Sen.

China has called for an immediate halt to the NATO airstrikes and Chi· nese leade"' even considered postponing Zhu 's visit. . Still, Zhu hopes to close ,a deal with the Clinton administration to allow Beijing to join the World Trade Organization, which regulates internalional trade, after 13 yea"' of trying. U.S. and Chinese trado negotiators worked furiously to try to strike a deal thai could tie announced during Zhu's visit to Washington on Thursday and Friday. · Zhu also will visit Denver, Chicago, New York and Boston, courting the . political and business elite at each stop. He may observe financial markets, possibly the New York Stock Exchange and the Chicago Board of Trade. China hopes to attract the foreign investment needed' to help its slowing economy. While in Washington, Zhu was to dine with Clinton on TltutSday evening. hold meetings with officia!s of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund and meet on Friday With a handful of lawmakers back early from the · two-week congressional recess. '"We hope that they will understand better the importan«e of China-U.S. relations," said Yu Shuning, a spokesman for the Chinese Embassy. Criticism in Congress of China's human rights record is bipartisan and widespread. · Adding to the tensions are ooncems - particul~rly among Republicans ' who see·it·as a good 2000 campaign issue - oyer alleged Chinese nuclear espionage, Pentagon reports of a missile buildup against Taiwan and alleged Chinese campaign contributions to Clinton's 1996 re-election campaign. The Chinese, in turn, resent a U.S. initiative lo provide a mis8ile-defense shield for Japan and Taiwan. China also strongly opposes U.S. sponsorship at the annual U.N.

You have three low c ards in the suit pllflncr btd. Wh1ch do you lead? It depend s on the auction and where you live. In B'ritain, MUD (middle-up-down) is popular. Yet this is dangerous. Partner will think you have led from a doubleton , only realizing you have three after seeing your second card, which may be too late. · The best agreement IS to lead the lowest card when you have not supported the suit , but to start with the highest card when you have raised partner, so that he knows you do'\'t have an honor. . This deal occurred during a Canadian International Pairs in Toronto. At most tables, South was in four spades after East opened one club. The club lead was ducked, East wiimmg with the jack. East generally sw1tched to a diamond, declarer successfully finessing 1he queen After a trump to the queen and ace, East, exited safely with a dia· monp or a trump . However, 11 was now simple for declarer to play king, ace and another heart to establish a discard for his losing club. (This works whenever hearts are 3-3 or j':ast has a doubleton honor.) · It looks straightforward, but one East found the answer. AI trick two, Haig Tchamitch returned a 'club into dummy's ace-queen tenace! Then, fie <:von the first round of trumps and gave his partner a club ruff. Eventu· ally, the defenders scored a heart trick for one down. • This de(ense should have been found at more tables because the six couldn't be low from three. It had to be a si~gleton or doubleton. :-. lndlln :• 7 On I hf91*' ~ Eut , ' US Toll Free 800·482-6260 Kino Hill, Ohio 790 8 oakot8 pre.detltiO' Klllglll ' 1998 ChO'i\' S· 10 ~xtondld Cab, 1996 Ford Rongor XLT pickup, t1 ,300 miles, 4 oyllndar', sten<fard transmission, btdllner, A/C, atereo, $6750, 740·992·1501 aayo or 740-949·2644 evenings ON ...IM. 1994 FourWinnsFIIng, 14', 115 j hp, $55Dq.

Their dream was simple: to find a home that could double as the area's first and only accordion museum. . " We were livjng in a house in Lakewood, trying to display our accordtons. But we couldn't even walk around. There were just too many lying all over the floor. So we had to move, " said Kathy White. After finding a brick ranch in Rocky River that had ample space and parking in December 1997, the cquple spent five months renovating the basement, until ... they rolled out the Cleveland Accordion Museum. The meticulously ordered basement shrine features more than 200 accor, dions on four thick, custom-built, wooden shelves; 10,000 pieces of accordion sheet music; hundreds of old accordion-music 78s; and "tribute" walls dedicated'to Frankie Yankovic and "Cleveland's Best" polka performers and bands. But unlike most museums, this homespun institution doesn't charge an admiss,ion and is always open. And the Whites will even share a meal with their visitors_ for free. "Whenever we're home_ every day, every evening- we're open," said Jack White. "Just call first." "When people come down to the basement their jaws drop. They think I'm crazy. 'What's the purpose?' " said Jack White. . . . The Whites are devotional in their purpose: "to keep the accord ian alive." But the devotion came about as much by chance as their love forth~ sounds of the instrument. "About five years ago. we went to a flea market and we saw this accordion. It was $40. We just had to have it," said Kathy White. For Jack, 59, the accord ian rekindled the past, when he was II years ~?ld taking accordion lessons; for Kathy, 48, it revived the sounds and music of growing up in an Italian family and inspired her to start playing the buttonbox. It also made the Whites realize ihat the instrument of their childhoods may be on the verge of extinction, marginalized" by synthesizers and elec:tric guitars. Then came the obsession .. · \ "In the first phase, we were just (collecting accordions) fofourselvesseeing how many we could find. People were happy to get rid of them no one wanted them, " said Kathy White. " But to us, they were handmade and no two were the same.'' · For an entire summer, the Whites scoured flea markets and music stores, even taking two-hour trips in search of dusty, musty squeezeboxes. They found button-boxes from the 1930s; Chicago-made accordions from the '40s; hand-crafted models made in the accordion hub of the world, the Italian town of Castelfidardo; even a Chinese model from the 18th century. Some playe~, but most were in need of repair. Jack White, a retired high school automotive teacher, cleaned the bellows and bells. But each of the accordions presented a unique mystery - How did it they get here? Who played it?- and pricked an interest in the history of the instrument. · The accordion has roots that date back to the cheng, an instrument from China, 3000 B.C., that combined bamboo pipes, a small gourd and a wind chamber to create a birdlike sound. In the 1820s, Viennese inventor Cyril Demian is said to have crafted the first European version of the instrument. In the 20th century, European immigrants popularized the accordion in America; in Cleveland, for a generation weaned on Frankie Yankovic, Lawrence Welk and the popular TV show " Polka Varieties," the squeezebox was as much a beer-hall staple as beer itself And then the bull market in pol~a crashed: Rock music replaced it on TV and the organ and guitar took over, relegating the accordion to an instrument . .kids played only if their parents forced them to . That history transformed the Whites' obsession into a mission. "We realized we wanted to share our accordions with people," said Kathy White. "And keep young people interested," added Jack White. Since opening last April, the museum has attracted 400 visitors from as . far away as Arizona, Minnesota and even Germa.ny, as well as some curious looks from neighbors, who have watched the Whites carl in case after case filled accordions into their house. . "They think we collect luggage," said Jack White. He walked !nto the acc::ordian.showroom and headed for a small, portable record player that looked like it was from the 1940s. He turned the lever on, lifted the arm and lowered the nl"edle on a 78 record of Frankie Yankovic's "Bye, Bye Baby Polka," the scratchy static of the 78 as ·loud as the song. "Listen to this, listen to that accordion. This will take you back," said Jack White. "This is happy music." . . -Judge upholds Philip Morris judgme~t; ·cuts damages By BOB EGELKO Associated Press Writer . SAN FRANCISCO- Ajudge refused to overturn a jury's verdict a~ai.nst Philip Morris on Tuesday but lowered from $51.5 million to $26.5 mtlhon the amount the company must pay to a former three-pack-a-day smoker with inoperable lung cancer. · . When Patricia Henley won $51.5 million in February, tt was the largest award eveTin a tobacco liability lawsuit filed by an individual smoker. That was based on $1.5 million in compensatory damages to cover medical expenses, pain and suffering, and $50 million in punitive damages. Three other awards in sitnilar cases have been overturned on appeal. On Tuesday, Judge John Munter said the $50 million punitive award in Ms. Henley's case was excessive. A damage_ award of $25 mtlhon - east- · ly more than the $15 million Ms. Henl~y asked for- is enough· to punish Ms. Henley, 52, of Los Angeles, said she became hooked on Marlboros Philip Morris for misleading the public about the dangers of smoking and at age 15 and smoked three packs a day unti I 1997, after she started suffering coughing fits and other health problems. She was diagnosed last year with for marketing cigarettes to teen-agers, he said. inoperable lung cancer, which she says is now in remission after chemotherMunter also denied the company's request for a new trial. Harry Wartnick, a lawyer for Ms. Henley, noted that she has the option apy and radiation. · . Her suit was the first tried in California since the repeal of a 1987 Ia~ of rejecting the reduced award and retrying the case. But he said $26.5 million should be enough to "get a message across to Philip Morris and to any that protected tobacco companies against suits by individual smokers. Last week, an Oregon jury awarded $80.3 million to the family of a Port. other company that looks to market products that kill human beings." A call to Philip Morris was not returned. William Ohlemeyer, a lawyer land man who died of lung cancer after smoking three packs of Marlboros for the company, had argued that Philip Morris wasn't responsible for Ms. a day for 42 years. Three jllry verdicts for smokers in other states have been overturned on Henley's decision to smoke and never claimed cigarettes were safe. He said . appeal; and juries in other cases have ruled in tobacco companies' favor. · there was no evidence she started smoking or continued to smoke because of Philip Morris ads. · ' Discovery of preserved mummies creates opportunity for science By KEVIN GRAY Associated Press Writer BUENOS AIRES, ArgentinaThree 500-year-old Inca mummies, the apparent victims of a ritual sacrifice, have been found frozen and in near-perfect condition on an Andes mountaintop in northern Argentina.
