Defense,~

chief tties
to deflect
criticism
By JOHN DIAMOND
A11ociated Prell Writer
WASHINGTON - With Omgress waiting to query top Pentagon
officials about the bombing in Saudi
Arabia, Defense Secretary William
Perry sought to deflect sonie criticism
by outlining security steps the military had taken before the terrorist
attack.
..
In a letter to lawmakers, Perry also
said the Air Force is moving personnel away from exposed rooms and
rnstalling blast-resistant material on
military apanments. His letter was
made available to reponers Friday.
Perry 's explanation of the securi ty steps taken before the blast is sure
to be a subject of tough questions at
a hearing next week of the Senate
Armed Services Committee.
, . Perry noted that guards posted on
the roof of building 13'1, which bore
the brunt of the explosion, saw the
attack unfolding and managed to
clear the top two noors. before the
truck exploded.
.. Security measures in place kept
the truck 35 yards away from the
bui !ding, which significantly reduced
the number of casualties," according
to the documents accompanying Perry's leuer. The leue~ notes that a
building 100 yards away also was
· · damaged and one person inside was
killed, suggesting that a,larger buffer
zone may not have prevented casualties.

AP Economics Writer
WASHINGTON- The nation 's
unemployment rate fell to a six-year
low as a surprisingly strong economy
created thousands of new jobs in
June. President Clinton was all smiles
but investors, fearing higher interest
rates, gave the stock market its worst
beating in four months.
The Labor Department reponed
the jobless rate at S.3 percent, down
from 5.6 percent in May, with
239,000 new jobs created. Hiring was
exceptionally strong at restaurants
and bars, and analysts said preparations for the summer Olympics in
Atlanta helped boost the total.
But Friday's repon sent the Dow
Jones industrial average down 114
points. the seventh biggest point
drop in history. Bonds were al so
pummeled as falling demand pushed
the yield on Treasury 's 30-year bond
up to 7.18 percent at closing from
6.93 percent on Wednesday.
Analysts said the larger-than expected job gains in June •. plus
upward revisions 1\l April and May
job growth, depicted an economy
exceeding the speed limit set by the
Federal Reserve .
While Fed policy-makers passed
up the chance to raise interest rates
this week, chances of a rate hike on
Aug . 20 if not before were put at a
vinual cenainty,
"This repon shows the economy
rising well above the speed limit the
Fed is comfonable with and we are
starting to see signs of inflationary
pressures in the labor market, " said
Roben Dederick, chief economic
consultant at Nonhcrn Trust Co. in
Chicago. "The real issue now is
whether the Fed will wait as long as
the next meeting."
Economists noted that average
hourly earnings, a key indicator of
wage pressures. jumped 0.8 percent.
the biggest monthly increase on
record . .
Clinton and his top economic
advisers sought to play down concerns of higher inflation and Fed rate
hikes.
"We have the most solid American economy in a generation," .the
president told 'reporters at the White
House. "It's good news when America can have high job growth. strong
investment and low inflation."
Republicans. who hope to win the
White House· for Bob Dole this fall,
took' issue with that assessment.
"If Bill Clinton thinks he deserves
credit for the economy, then why arc
so many Americans unhappy with the

direction of the country?" asked Nelson Warfield, Dole's press secretary.
Rep. John Boehner, head of the
House Republican Conference,
argued about the quality of jobs
being created, citing government statistics showing that 7.9 million Americans are now working two or more
jobs, up 10.2 percent since 1994.
"Today 's economic news is little
comfort to the record number of families who have had to take second and
third jobs ~ ince Bill €linton became
president, raised their taxes and
increased Washington 's spending,"
Boehner said.
The White House argued that job
growth since Clinton took office has
averaged 244,000 per month, 90 percent higher than the 129,000 averajle
over the 12 years of Reagan and Bush
administrations.
Labor Secretary· Roben Reich also
rejected worries among economists
that the 'big rise in earnings, which
reflected a 9-cent-an-hour increase,
was an early indicator of rising inflation.
"Hourly workers have been wailing for some time to panicipate in this
buoyant economy. If hourly wages
have increased nine cents, that is
great news. " Rerch said.
Private economists, however, said
the earnings increase, the biggest
since the government began the series

"This report shows the Fed should
have raised interest rates this week .
The danger is that they will now be
behind the curve on inflation and will
,have to slam on the brakes even hard ·er," said Allen Sinai, chief global
economist at Lehman Brothers in
New York .
In January, analysts were con cerned that growth was so anemic the
country was in danger of a recession.
But five straight months of strongjoh

more about inflation .
The Dow decline was the biggest

The gain of 239.000 jobs last

June, the strength was concentrated in
the service sector with retail stores
adding 75,000 jobs, almost l)alf of
them at restaurants and hars.
Temporary help firm s added
38,000 johs while co.nstruction
employment rose by 23,000. Manufacturing represented the only weak

Tibbets wins swift
entry into Aviation's
Hall

of Fame

roster

By JAMES HANNAH
Aesoclated Press Writer
DAYTON - Even though it took 30 years for him to be nominated to
the National Aviation Hall of Fame. the pilot of the plane that dropped the
atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, during World War II won swift election.
Paul Tibbets Jr., 80, of Columbus, will be inducted along with three other aviation pioneers on July 20.
The hall of fame, which was established in 1992. now has 151 enshrinees. h includes aviation pioneers such as the Wright brothers, astronaut
Neil Annstrong and pilot Amelia Earhart.
Each year ballots with the names of about 250 nominees are mailed to
Hall of Fame board members, which number more than 200. The top votegetters are enshrined- usually four each year.
.
Mike Jackson, executive director of the hall, said Tibbets was first nominated in 1992 and that it takes at least two years for a nominee to win
enshrinement
··
"He got in pretty quickly, ...Jackson said. "There's been people on that ·
ballot for 20 years."
He said there are probably many aviation pioneers in the truest sense of the word who have yet to be even nominated.
" If you look at the people who have been nominated and enshrined in
the past, we' re not talking about lightweights," Jackson said. "There are a
lot of deserving people out th€e. and it was his tum, it was his time." .
Tibbets could not be reached to comment. He has an unlisted telephone
number.
·
During World War Ij, Tibbets flew 25 missions in B-17s, including the
first American Flying Fortress raid against occupied Europe.
But he is best known as commander of the B-29 bomber Enola Gay,
which on Aug. 6, 1945, completed the first mission to use an atomic bomb
in war.
· Tibbets has said that the atomic bombings on Hiroshima and Nagasaki
brought Japan 's early surrender, sparing countless Allied and Japanese lives
that a planned invasion of the Japanese main islands would have ~ost
The three-month Battle of Okinawa cost an estimated 200,000 lives on
both sides, including about 150,000 Japanese used as human shields by the
Imperial Anny. The estimated Hi_roshima toll ranges from 70,000 to 200,000
including later radiation-caused deaths.
_
Some historians have disputed that invasion would have been required
to bring about Japan's capitulation. They say the Soviet Union's entry into
the war, two days after Hiroshima, almost certainly would have brought
about surrender.
• Tibbets predicted nuclear arms would be the ultimate deterrent because
nobody " in their right mind" would take a chance on having one of the
weapons used on them.
The other inductees this year are late Mercury astronaut Donald Slayton. aviation business executive Harry Combs and retired Navy Capt. David
McCampbell.

power source. In a few test markets,
utility consumers will be able to
graze the electric buffet - picking
among nukes, gas, hydropower, wind
and coal.
"We consumers do not have a
choice where our power comes from.
and we don't have a choice what it
costs,." said Laura Scher. head of
Working Assets, a private firm that
promotes environmental arid "socially responsible" alternatives to such
consumer services as telephones.
credit cards, and now electricity.
In a pilot program in New Hampshire. Working Assets is offering an
electricity portfolio that docs not rely
·on nuclear power or on power generated from the controversial HydroQueboc Canadian hydropower system that critics say has been cnvirnnmcntally destructive at the
expense of indigenous Canadians.
Similar experiments arc hcing
tried elsewhere. such as in Wisconsin.
where seven utilities have created
"Partnership for Customer Choice"
to let consumers choose slightly
more expensive renewable and alternative energy sources rather than tra-

ditional nuclear or fossil fuel power.
California is likewise wading into the
restructuring waters.

Ken Miller
Under the programs. consumers
will choose which power suppliers
their electric payments support. Consumcr choice. therefore, will determine the mix from which a power
distributor buys electricity.
"Some arc calling it green pricin g." said Charlie Higley, senior policy analyst at Public Citi1.cn, the consumcr watchdog group founded by
Ralph Nader. "This is a different
mechanism entirely; hopefully it will
rcly on people's preferences to
choose power" to promote more
sustainable, cleaner power.
The experiments arc driven largely hy the planned restructuring of the
utility industry. As Congress prepares
to tackle a major overhaul of what
has long been a monopoly husincss
perhaps next year, some sllltcs arc
already exploring oplions to give
consumers more power choices while
sorting through the thorny issues of
who controls today 's transmission
networks.
Consumer groups and environmenlalists arc pushing the reforms to
rep lac~ some traditio~al power
sourccs _ w_ith cleaner altc~ativl!§.

could fall into disfavor.
Utilities want to be guaranteed
they won't have to eat those massive
"stranded costs." Consumer groups
say utility shareholders - not consumers - should bear the cost of
their unwise investments.
A recent study by Michael Maloncy and Rohcrt McConnick, Clem·
son University economics professors.
for the Citir.cns for a Sound &amp;onomy Foundation estimated a typical
household could save an average of
$216 a year if utilities had to compete
for customers.

President Bruce Levy said his industry support.~ a uniform federal restructuring plan by 2003 rather than what
utilities fear will be a "crazy quilt"

Dole must ·select right running mate
By DeWAYNE WICKHAM
Gannett News Service
· WASHINGTON - GOP presidential candidate Bob Dole says
opposition to abortion is not a litmus
t~st for his GOP running mate.
Don 't believe him.
Regardless of his pronouncement.
ypu can bet the ranch Dole won't "
select a vice presidential nominee
whose views on this issue stray far
from the anti-abortion dogma of the
religious right. His words to the contrary are nothing more than political
doublcspeak - meant to convince
moderate voters that he's not. a
hostage of the social conservative
clique that dominates Republican
Party politics.
·
That he won •t make opposition to
abonion a litmus test for vice presidential aspirants "may distress some
people," he said during an appearance on a morning talk show recent·
ly, "but l am the nominee. I need to
make the choice, and I need to find

someone who can be president.··
Then he added: "And we also
need to win the election."

Wickham .
And to win in November, Dole
panders to the idea that he's. willing
to hal(c an abortion supporter on the
Republican ticket - and, if he's
elected. a heartbeat away from the
presidency.
But Dole's public willingness to
consid.cr a pro-abonion Republican
for the second spot ·COnfticts with
what he reportedly bas said in priva~e
to his staff and to social conservative
leaders. All his talk about tolerance
for the views of others- make that
moderate Republicans - is a smoke
_screen.
So why the ruse? Because Dole
wants credit for both the moderale
thin11s he says and the conservative
things he does. He wants to unile the
Republican Paity, which is badly

~ '

fractured over the abonion issue,
hehind his troubled presidential campaign. Hn.w'! By saying one thing and
doing another.
So don't be surprised when the
names of GOP social moderates like
New Jersey Gov. Christine 'Todd
Whitman and Massachusetts Gov.
William Weld get mentioned a.~ possible running mates. Both arc prochoice Republicans with little real
chani:c of ending up.6n the GOP tickct. But the end game fot; Dole is winning the Novcmher presidential election, not telling the truth.
Even with Bill Ointon's recent
'*line in popularity, Dole still tnils
1he Democratic prcsi~ by doubledigit figures in most f,ulilic opinion
polls. Oosing this &amp;liP won't be easy,
especially if Dole lpPCUS u doctrinaire u the l:iabt-winJ conservatives
nqw in conlrOI of the GOP. ·
Whether this strateiY works will
depend on several thinas. First, the
.willinJIICSS of pro-choice Rcpubli-

cans to he moved lly Dille's words
rather than his deeds. Second, the ;·
dcgnx: to whid1 the party's right wing '
activists object to his outrcoch to prochoice Republicans. And finally, the ''
gullibility of the American elcc- 1•
toratc.
Dole is hoping that voters fall for 7
his game.
.:
I think he's in for a big ~urprise . ...
Most pro-choice voters will ca.~t their '

wrong and Dole puts an abortion sup- ,'.
porter on his ticket, most people are t,
smart enoul!h to understand that that
won't chansc his anti-abortion posi· ,
tion, or his administration's policies. :.,
There is, of course, the very real ·
danger that Dole's courtina of the •1

"I'm sure I'll get a good recep·

Times-Sentinel Staff
. · GLOUSTER - In the Glouster
~merican Legion Post Tournament,
.a throwing error by Gallipolis Post
27 second ba,seman Moose Clark
}ielped Danny Stroh score from first
tase, which gave Glouster Post 414
'I 4-3 ,win Friday at the village park
in Glouster.
·. Gallipolis. which claimed a 14-4
.mercy -rule win over Belpre P&lt;;&gt;st
;495 earlier in the day, saw Glouster
cash in on its first crack at starter
Kevin Edwards.
Glouster saw its first two hitters
'retired becaus e ·of a defensive
tecovery by Post 27 left field~r
Jamie Gruber that nailed J.R.
Springe~ at second base after the
Iauer's hit and Lance Richards'
groundou!IO second.
But after Glouster's Justin
McClintock reached on a three-base
error .in right field by Morgan
Sullivan ,- cleanup hiller Sain
Sechkar slammed Edwards' 1-0
pitch beyond the left center field
fence. Glouster led 2-0 at that point.
In four of the first five innings,
G!ouster starter Brady Trace retired
the Gallians in order. Only once in
that stretch did Gallipolis get two
runners -Gruber and leadoff hitter
Jason Dailey reached on singles- '
on base. Boih were slranded when
Eric Humphreys grounded out to'
first to end the Gallipolis third.
Facing a 3-0 deficit going into
the sixth, Gallipolis slashed lhe lead

out, Edwards lined Trace's 1-1 pitch
into left field to allow Sullivan and
Humphreys to score.

Gallipolis, one out from losing in

left field line that allowed Dailey In
score the tying run .
Then Glouster made a three player shift that stnt Trace to second
base, second sacker Zaeh Miller ln
shortstop and s1arting shortstop
McClintock to the mound .
McClintock. needed only three
pitches to get.C)ark to fly out to
right field on Chris Shafer's dash to
the line. Had Shafer not arrived in
time, Humphreys would have scored
the go-ahead run from second.
The Glouster seventh began with
Trace hitting a slow roller to
shortstop and beating D Brunton' s
throw to first. With Stroh pinch·
running for Trace. J.R. Springer
bunted along the third base line,
where third baseman Heath Shaner
threw to Clark at first for the out.
Stroh, who rounded second base
without breaking stride, drew a
throw from Clark, which went
beyond Shaner's reach at third. That
allowed Stroh to get up and sprinl to
the plate with the game-winning
run .
First·game notes: After a

the bottom of the second with a
t-hree -run rally. From that point ,
Gallipolis never looked back.

WIMB(EDON, England (AP)
-Given a-reprieve she desperately
needed, defending champion Steffi
Graf made lhe most of rare sunshine
Friday to reach her eighth final
before a deluge turned Wimbledon
back into Swimbledon.
Graf, who will play Arantxa
Sanchez Vicario again for the title ,
took only 26 mipules to close out a
6-2. 2-6. 6-3 victory over Japan 's
Kimiko Date - 14 112 hours after
Date swept the lasl six games of the
second set Thursday night.
The women's final will be played
Saturday, if weather permits.
So far thi s week, weather hasn 't
permilled much . Rain drenched the
courts four days, and bleak forecasts
for the weekend raised the likelihood
that the tournament - the wettest
Wimbledon since 1991 - will be
extended past Sunday for the 14th
time .

The men's semifinal between No .

Friday, the second and last time for

Garbey and Casamayor still battle to gain fre~dom in U.S~

. ''

By MICHAEL FLEEMAN
LOS ANGELES (AP)- Security was ttght at the trammg camp m
Guadalajara. Mextco, where 12
members of the Cuban boxmg team
were prepanng last month for thts
summer's Olymptcs m Atlanta
In addition to two Cuban secun ty men. MexiCan federales patrolled
the grounds Athletes were allowed
to leave for a nearby store or someone's house , but only under limited
mcumstances They 'd get a lecture
about the dangers of talkmg to people on the outstde
"There was always a watchful
eye." satd boxer Ramon Garbey.
Not watchful enough The 12member team ts down to I0
Garbey, 25. pe£haps the world 's
best boxer m hts wetght class, left the
camp June 22 for a dmner wnh a
fnend and never came back
Ftve days later, another boxer,
Juel Casamayor, a gold medahst for
Cuba at Barcelona m 1992, went for
a walk to get a dnnk - and kept on
walkmg
The two left the Cuban camp
mdependently, but wtth a shared
goal To escape Castro 's communism
and get polottcal asylum m the Unn-

ed States To their surpnse, they were
reuntted m Ttjuana, with a Los
Angeles law firm p~llmg strings
behmd the scenes.
After a harrowmg van ride
through Ttjuana, they crossed the
border together at San Ystdro on
Sunday, were detatned for three days
and . on Independen ce Day, spent
thetr first full day m the Untied
States
They became the latest m a stnng

On Fnday, they were tired and
still overwhelmed by the past Iran lie few weeks - and a great deal of
uncenamty to come. But neither
votced even the shghtest of regrets
"I feel free now," Garbey sa1d
through an mterpreter ''I'm away

from commumsm. I feel more mdcpendent."
They have been boxers for almost
as long as they can remember, Garbey stanmg at age 9, Casamayor at
age 8. They both came from poor
famtl1es and went through Cuba's
regtmented spons academtes. Both
had won nattonal lttles by the time
they were 13
As they grew older, they both
grew mcreasmgly frustrated wtth
commumsm Both refused to regtster for the youth pany organization ,
both pa1d the pnce. They encountered ostractsm, restncllons on thetr
travel and other acttvtlles
Garbey, a 175-pound hght heavywetght wtth a powerful JaW and
factal scars, satd he was suspended
from the nat1onal team m 1994 and
was Jaded for three months
Casamayor, a 119-pound bantamwetght who looks ~ and fights
- hke Sugar Ray Leonard, satd that
wmnmg the gold brought few opportumttes for htm 1n Cuba, as long as
he refused to rcgtster for the pany
He satd he got none of the spec~al
treatment, the cars, the money, the
homes, afforded to other athletes

" I dtdn't want any affiliatton
wuh the Communist Pany," he sat d.
"I wasn't free to go where I wanted
to go- all the restrictions I finally
reahzed I wasn 't going to stay anymore. "

)

Both satd they had long .constdcred defeetmg. It was JUSt a matter of
ume.
That ttme came last month at the
GuadalaJara trainmg camp
"The only thmg I was afrrud of,"
satd Garbey, "was they were gomg
to ca\ch me and take me back to
Cuba and make me a pnsoner."
Casamayor was encouraged to
leave by Garbey's fltght.
" I was, in a way, very happy for
htm because I knew what he had
gone through, " Casamayor satd
As they worked thetr way up to
Tijuana- ne1ther was spc&lt;:tfic about

Frank Ronzto, whose Wtlshtre

From the start. Wtlltams seemed
eager to play
He was hutmg 347 and leadmg

Channel catfish angling gets high marks at Lake ·White·
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Here is the weekly ftshing report
provided by the Division of Wildlife
of the Ohio Department of Natural
Resources:
Southeast

LAKE WHITE -Excellent fishing opportunities exist for channel
catfish anglers . Prepared baits,
chicken livers, softcmws and nightcrawlers can be used to take these
tasty fish which measure up lo 25
inches. Saugeyes, bluegills and
largemouth bass also inhabit the
lake.
WOLF RUN LAKE - Channel
catfish opportunities are similar to

those found in many othe~ southeast
Ohio lakes. Redear sunfish are limited in number but of good quality
with an average size of n(\8l'ly sev·
en inches. Use redworms or larval
baits suspended beneath a bobber at
depths of two to seven feel.
Southwest

EAST FORK LAKE - Some of
the region's finest hybrid striped bass
fishing is enjoyed here each summer.
Use iive shad of three to five inches
or softcraws fished at depths of 10 to
22 feet. Cast jigs and surface plugs
when stripers are seen chasing bait
fish along the surface. Largemouth
and spotted bass al~o provide good

fishing action.
CAESAR CREEK LAKE- The
larger bluegills are tak~n on larval
baits and small worms fished at
depths of I0 to 20 feet around deep
pomts, submerged humps and
droeoffs. These same areas will produce fair to good cat~;hes of crappies.
Whtte bass fishing opportunities are
improving.
Ohio River
The Willow Island Pool in Wash·
ington and Monroe counties is composed. of 36 river miles and 5,400
surface acres of water. Use spinnerbaits, crankbaits and pl8$ic worms

Haines says 65 to 70 percent of

and Holland. The rest are .from the
United States and Canada.
He provides a complete package,
includi~g rides to and from the airport, accommodations, boat and the
special tackle and bait he uses to
catch carp.
"Most people who come fishing
with me come for a week or multipies of a week, .one week, two
weeks," Haines says. "The rare person comes for three weeks."
Since carp · are bottom .feeders,
bottom fishing is a favorite way to
get them. When bottom fishing,
Haines uses a strong, 12- or 13-foot
rod and open-faced, bait-runner reels
that allow the fish to take line with
the bail closed.
That way when the fish takes the
bait it doe~n'l feel a stiff drag and
drop the bait before swallowing it.
He also uses European-style
hooks, size 2 to 6. "Compared with
an American hook they have a much
shorter shank, they are much
stronger for the size, thicker wire.
very good steel," Haines says.
He uses two types of bait: pulses,
which are mixe• of peas, beans, corn
and grains, and dough baits, or
boilees, a mix of various high-protein ingredients bound with raw
eggs to make a paste and then boiled
for a short time to solidify the egg.
Like most avid carp anglers,
• Haines has his own secret recipes for
baits.
He also has little competition,
even though the carp. a cousin of the
common goldfish, has become one
of the most common lish in North
America.
"They inhabit most every local
pond or stream, and so they're available to almost every average American resident." Haines says.

around the islands and embayments
when bass fishing, Sunfish provide
good fislti9g action throughout the
pool when using minnows and red·
worms. Cltannel catfish, . nathead
catfish and hybrid striped ~ass .fish­
ing is best in July and August.
Central

SCIOTO RIVER - Sawgeyes,
largemouth bass, smalltnouth bass
and channel catfish are being caught
in and near downtown Columbus,
including the area below Greenlawn
dam. Fish during the early morning
hours for best results. Use small jigs
and weighted spinners to take bass
and saugeyes.
BUCKEYE LAKE- The backwat~r areas away from boat traffic
provide good fishing opportunities
for ·bass and channel catfish. Usc
nightcrawlers or chicken livers
fished near the bottom when seeking
channel catfish. This is one ·or central Ohio's best lakes for taking nathead catfish.

Northwest
FINDLAY RESERVOIR NO. 2
::_ Use eight-forward spinners tipped
with nightcrawlers trolled slowly at
various depths when fishin' for
walleyes. The fish range in size from
II to 30 inches. The shoreline areas
are good spots for bass anglers.
Channel catfish up 10 28 pounds prl}vide very good night fishing opportunities.
PLEASANT HILL RESERVOIR
-Try fishing with jigs or weighted
spinners at depths of 10 to 16 feet
near the beach when seeking
saugeyes. Crappies will be found
suspended around deep-water structure. Use crappie rigs tipped with
minnows for best results. ·
Northeast
LEESVILLE LAKE - This is
one of the premier muskie lakes in
the Midwest. Fishing prospects
remain excellent this yea" Use
rapalas, plastic worms or small spin·

Car restoration bUsiness offers glimpse back in.time
;

. By JIM FREEMAN
··nmea-Sentlnel ataft
· · · RACINE ·- Most people under 50 have never seen a brand-new 1955
• Ford Thunderbird. Fortuna1ely for the rest of us, the next best thing may just
· probably be sitting in a Racine-area garage.
.
· Marvin Hili, owner of Hili's Classic Cars on Bashan Road, has been
· restoring vintage ·cars. mostly older Thunderbirds, for about 10 years:
Recently Hill won a national award from the Antique Automobile Club of ·
:America for thi best-restored Ford product built between 1946-to-197Q, a
• t9S6 Ford Thunderbird.
: • Hill's business actually started off as a hobby in 1978 with single 1956
:~ord Thunderbird.
·· : "I was never satisfied with one car," Hill said. "I built and sold about four
:qf them and then people wanted me to start building them for them."
:: • Now Hili has five people working in his garage ... which is not just anoth·
automotive body shop. He ard his assistants work on cars from across the
·C:ountry, from Oregon to Florida and from Chicago, Detroit, Charlotte, N.C.,
:and other cities.
,
• Clients. send their cars ·- mostly unroadworthy ·- to Hill for restoration.
· While the engines may run, suspen'
sions, brakes and electrical systems are
usually worn or even unsafe. But whe~
tbe cars leave, it's an entirely different
story.
For Hill , restoration of a classic car involves much more than simple
painting and reupholstery. The auention
to detail is phenomenal, right down to
recreating factory identification and
component color coding used during
original manufacturing -- even on parts
of the car the customer may never see.
"That's what sets 'em apart,"
.
Hill said. "These are top quality show

While a full body-off restoration can take between 1,000 and 1,500 hours,
· afterwards, looking at one of Hill's restored cars can make. you feel like

'Immaculate' and 'eKquisite' are two adjectives that spring to mind.
"It's as close as you can get to a new car," Hill agreed.
In addition, customers also receiye a comprehensive photographic record
of the restoration, partly for their scrapbooks and also to verify what work
was actually done.
About 80 percent of Hill's cars are the vintage Thunderbird&amp; with old
Mustangs making up the secoild-largesl segment.
"I l;ke the cars from the 'SOs.and '60s more than anything," he said.
· · T,lle cars built between 1950 and 1971 are the most popular with Hili's
cii'e!)ts, mostly people in the•45cand-over age groUJiWho can afford lhe custom lvork.
·
The reason for the appeal? "These are the cars they remember from their
youths." he explained.
One'ofHili's restorations, a 1971, 440-powered Dodge Charger, was featured in the December 1991 issue of Muscle Car Review. A copy of the arti·
cle adorns the wall of his office along with oiher car photo~ and models.
The era of the big block. high performance car engines came to an end in
1971 mostly due to federal fuel mileage requirements.
Hill pointed out the old cars retain their appeal, even though they realis·
ti~ally can't compare 10 new cars jn terms of quality of ride, safety: handling
atid performance.
But many of the old cars have a history; something that makes them special and' worthy of restoration. One that stands out in Hill's memory is a 1950
Dodge Wayfarer convertible he rebuilt for a Newcomerstown couple.
The rare car (only 2,903 were ever built) played a memorable role in the
early days of the couple's relationship, Hill explained. They courted in the
car and eventually used 'it on their honeymoon after marrying in 1952.
The car finally came to rest in a pasture, where it sal for years, broken and
rusted, before undergoing a complete restoration ·to celebrate the pair's
'
anniversary, Hili explained.
"It's more like doing a piece of artwork than just doing a job for a car that
has been wrecked. •

yellow VW bug stopped anywhere
down the road, I would have pulled
in beside him and used language that
would have put even Hilliary dinton to shame. (By her own admission, her language
would
make a sailor
blush.) But, bad
drivers are in
every state. It is
just emphasi~ed
on
secondary
highways which
have no shoulders.
Perhaps my biggest.'grlpe of. all
time, however, is litter. I cannot
understand why people wouldllakc a
beautiful country like the United
States and throw garbage over
banks, ~nd everything from cigarette
butts to fast food canons .out of their
vehicles.
·
Presently.- we arc looking across
the river that could be called Beautiful Ohio, and it is anything but beautiful . The flood left some debris
across the river in the trees, liut
propeny owners have thrown trash
over the bank and disearded'cild car
bodies in. a field alongside. Why''
And, h~usehol.d yards along highway's, includi!lg ours, constantly
have bottles thrown .out which
break.,.. ·
I tried calling to gain statistics on
how long it took a filter tip from a
cigarette to disintegrate in the soil. 1
called Atlanta. I called Chicago, 1
called Denver, I called Columbus,
and I failed to find out. However,
one lady with the Lung Association
told me she is digging up filter tips
from her flower beds after having
purchased the house "years" ago.
Another depanment sent me a rlycr
describing length of time for plastic
s1x-pack neck rings and aluminum
cans to disintcgr~te : 450 ycaq; and
500 years, respectively.
Norma Torres, Nursing Director,
Meigs County Health Depanmcnt,
was a great help in my quest to
ascenain telephone numbers for the
information. Perhaps the statistic on
cigarette filters will come in from
one of these sources yet. In the
meantime, I think I'll go eat some
lemons to ready me ·for the Annual
Complainers' Day, or am I already in
the righl mood'!

Usually I'm fairly easy-going, after
all, most women are ... women are
born with patience in _case they
become mothers. George could easily say I have my "off" days but
mostly every day is looked upon
optimistically in our household by
both of us. After aU, if it is something that can be changed, we work
at changing it; if not, we try to
· ignore it or work around it.
Sometimes, though, there are just
too many events build-up, and I
want to complain. Because it is
always much more pleasant to be
around non-complainers, perhaps
'one day a year should be set aside
and we could all vent our hostilities
· and frustrations and. as my grandmother used to s_ay, "Be done with
it."
One of my favorite gripes is the
noise volume of television commercials. They boom on much louder
than the program and endanger the
hearing of anyone in the room. After
listening to !he whisperings of the
·naturalists on PBS while they are
.quietly stalking and filming. wild
birds or animals, I have nearly had
my ear drums shattered when the
friendly salesmen of "Gotta' Buy a
Dodge" or some other enthusiastic
hawker, comes on screen. That problem can be remedied when we buy
our next television set. We'llli-uy one
installed with an automatic volume
control that keeps the same decibel
reading.
,
Another complaint: the drivers
on secondary highways. It mystifies
me why another driver believes they
can make me drive faster by riding
my bumper. I drive according to
how well I know the road, hour of
day, traffic volume, and road conditions due to weather. If someone
wants to speed, or believes ·they arc
late, they should have left sooner.
After all, I've learned where Bambi
hides and jumps out onto the roadways. I'd rather hit Bambi at 45 than
65. But, my real gripe are the people
that paSs on double yellow (that
even gets to George). I have wit. nesscd several cars that not only
passed on double yellow, but did it
on curves. They . weren't always
passing me either; a few were
oncoming. In fact, when we first
moved here,.! nearly made headlines

conjunction with that city's Bicen.tenniai..Celebration.
She . was one of four quilters
s~lected to panicipate in the follyarts
division of the festival among nomin~es throughout Ohio and surrounding states. The other three in the
"Quilting Traditions from Around
Ohio," were Phyllis Franck of Dayton, and Wyrelene Mays and Barbara Payne, who quilt together in
Columbus.
King represented the broad category of "quilts from scraps," fcat.uring quilts that she has made since
she became fascinated with quilting
while Jiving in Marion, Ohio. in the
late t970s .

Dear Ann Landers: Can you tolerate one more "how-we-met" letter?
I met my husband-to-be while
stariiling next to a box of rattlesnakes. I was. employed~ by the
Tulsa Ch&amp;~J~ber of Commerce, and
" Jim" was one of a group of delegates from Western Oklahoma on a
tour promoting the world-famous
annual Rattlesnake H1111t.
• The Tulsa Chamber hosted a luncheon at the Public Affairs Forum
for the group, including the snakes.
At the time, I was not impressed.
Later, the chamber hosted an
evening. at a local nightclub, and
most of the staff was invited. A.t that'
time, Oklahoma was a dry sl!lte, and
all liquor had to be purchased
throllgh a bootlegger. The out-oftown boys ondered six bottles, thinking they were gelling pints. They gcit
quarts. When the local chamber
ladies and their staff escorts arrived,
Jim met us at the door and said,
"Don:t buy any liquor. I have
enough for aU of us."

t's just the time to see a' perenni~t Mysterious green mold
pleasure: Daylilies are in bloom · costing mushroom

By VILMA PIKKOJA ..
GALLIPOLIS - They are a pe~nnial pleasure and it is just the time to see them. The tantalizing fragrance, the graceful form and the
abundance of blooms in colors from soft pastels
to vtbrant Jewel tones - the daylilies are in
bloom.
You view them from the old
farm house muggled under the
huge trees that form a comfortable
canopy. There they are in the large .
field - rows and rows of raised beds
of daylilies - a sunbathed kaleidoscope of beauty.
Some time ago, my friend Mary
moved to the side of a lake in Indiana where her
husband had built her dream house enveloped in
a garden-to-,be, just the way Mary had planned a
long, long time ago. Now it had been plowed,
prepared and planted with flowers she had
ordered by numbers in a flower catalog.
This particular morning, a year ago, Mary
and her husband took me to Bol:!, Evans for
breakfast. Then, they invited ern to got along to
a pnvate garden, so that Mary could take . pictures and match these to numbers on her garden
plan to see how her garden would look next year

at thi~ time. I was surprised and overwhelmed
when' we arrived at Bob ~havers farm. It is a private garden open by invitation only.
Bob Shaver started his daylily farm by accident; the accident of being overly successful
wtth the patch he had started around his horne
that grew out of bounds, literally. Looking for a
home for his surplus, Bob planted some of his
' lilies on his father's farm and they flourished .
The rest is history.
Bob,advertises his prize specimens in The
Day lily Journal, which cannot be bought on the
newsstand. You have to be a member of the
American Hemerocallis Society, and The
Day lily Journal issues are guarded propeny like
any collectors item. You can't talk them away
from a member ~ I tried.
.
Daylilies are not demanding in their soil.
They grow in the poorest soil, except clear clay,
because they send deep roots down and do not
need .daily ~atering. They grow in full sun or
part shade. Some sunshine daily is necessary or
they will just grow leaves.
In planting daY,Iilies, simply spread the roots
out flat, or over a small mound, in the bottom of
the hole. Cover them with one inch or so of soil.
Water thoroughly and frequently until you have
the plants growing well.
Plant them about twelve
inches apart and they
are an ideal accent plant
in your Potager garden.
"Anytime is the best
time to plant a daylily,"
says Bob, They are well adapted for naturalizing
and for borders. Winter mulching is not needed.
They bloom from late spring to fall. What else
can you ask foim a flower as beautiful as ~
daylily?
· Except Marilyn, a co-member in the Herb
Guild, reminded me that daylilies arc also edible.
True. Ac,~:ording to Lee Allen Peterson's
book, "Edible Wild Plants" the daylilies escaped
from home gardens, and growing wild, arc an
excellent source of salads. Add the early shoot to

"Independence Day" is causing pandemonium at movie theaters - both on screen and off.
The alien-invasion thriller,
which stars Will Smith and Jeff
Goldblum. is on its way to the
biggest opening weekend ever,
having taken in $28.2 million
through Wednesday.
Even President Clinton, who
has seen the movie, got in on the
act. He joked about it at a Fourth
of July rally in Youngstown,
. Ohio.
"Somebody said I was coming to Youngstown because this
was the day that the White
House got blown away by space
aliens,'' Clinton said. · "I hope
it's there when I get back. Anyway. I recommend the movie."
The film was already packing
theaters at all times of night.
" I knew the J;Ridnight shows
were going to sell out," says
Howard Litchmann of Cineplcx
Odcon, North America's thirdbiggest theater chain, which
started a 56-hour "Independence Day" marathon Tuesday
evenong.

They'll call first.
"It's so much easier to send

McDonough.

With that in mind: there arc scientists all around the country who
spend their days scanning space for
alien radio signals. And when The
Call finally comes, they have a ninestep protocol for answering it.
It's the "Declaration of Principles Concerning Activities f,ollowing the Detection of Extraterrestrial

Here's the condensed version:

Iwo phone messages, 1wo faxes. and
three c-mails to get this response,
from a Dr. Hans Hauhold:
·
"The United Nations Office ol:

aliGfl invasions. None of the 1!15
member states of tbe United Nations
have addressed the above topics
within the deliberations of the United Nations General Assembly."
(That 's U.N.-speak for: No plan.)
- D"n't call hack. Any alien
contact, the protocol instructs. is a
mancr for . "international consultations." The idea here is to make sure
an excitable scientist doesn' t run off

Most young countty singers dream of

Iris DeMent; she always wanted to be a
Stranger.
The singer-songwriter got her wish a
few months back, hitting the road with
her idol - Merle Haggard - as part of
his band, the Strangers.
She landed the gig after Mr. Haggard
heard her sing his "Big City, " on Hightone Recond's alternative-country Haggard tribute album "Tulare Dust." He
preferred it to is original version, he said,
and invited her to tour with him.
"I went out on the road for a couple
weeks in September. I played piano,
believe it or not, in the Strangers," says
DeMent, best known as a guitarist.

songs, plaintive vocals and simple guitar
accompaniments are worlds away from
the slick commercial sounds of Shania or
Reba. Her music has been embraced by
•~e growing alternative co~ntry music
movement.
That hasn't meant hit records, however. But as she prepares to release her thind
album, radio finally may be catching on.
"Pretty much from the beginning,
.
public radio and community radio would
play me," she explains. "And then on the
last record ("My Life"), a few Triple A

picking it up. But really, as far as radio·

infected crops or soil in which they
had grown.

There are two ways to do lhis. The

If you are trying to match coursing that's been applied this way •.then
by all means, use the s urfac~ na1hng.

' From the saltboxes that dot the
Northeastern shoreline- especially
in Cape Cod- to California's ornate
Victorians, wood shakes and shingles,
are part of Amc:rica's past. Whether
lhe traditional square bull or the multipattemed fancy-cut variety, it's hard
to beat the beauty of this natural, textured siding.
.
Historically, shakes and shingles
were made from many types of
wood, including cedar, redwood, oak,
cypress, pine spruce and fir. Although
they are still made from a variety of
species- panicularty on some of the
more sophisticated architectural
restoration jobs- cedar is the mosl
common wood used for today's
shakes and shingles.
Most people know the difference
• between a shingle and a shake. Shingles are machine-sawn into smooth,
tapered boards that range in size from
about 3 or 4 inches wide to over 16
inches wide. Shakes. on the other
hand, are hand-split with a sleel-bladed froe, then sawn in half. This gives
them their rough surface and flat ,
smooth back.
The traditional way to install
shakes and shingles is called single
coursing. Each piece of siding is
auached so that it covers about half
of the one below it. Only 1wo nails
are u~ to secure each shake or shingle and are spaced so that the fol lowing course cover.; them . This is
the common way homes were shingled on the East Coast.
Siding with double courses is the
way to achieve deeper shadow lines
and wide weather exposures, from 12
inches lo 16 inches, depending on the

Coast in the early 1900s, and 'is a_way
. 10 achtcve even deeper shadow In~ .
You start out with the basic doul!le
course at the .bottom of lhe wall (ti
you would wuh any job), then lay a
single row of shingles 4 inches a~vc
this. Lay anotJ:aer ro~ o~ly I 1nch

A: The height of a new ceiling
should be no Jess than 7 feet 6 inches. In some cases 6 feet 6 inches is
acceptable under beams or bay win dows. You can construct a slightly
lower ceiling in a kitchen , provided
al least half of it IS at least 7 feet 6

:8mbitiow goal to globalize the
.ailtomotive giant's manufacturin&amp;
,Operations- and of Saturn's abO.~ to become something more than
.an admired but barely profitable
.small-car division. USA Today
Detroit Bureau Chief Mkhellne
Maynard spent three months
'eombing through GM documents
and Interviewing people involved in
the projeet fot this report.)
DETROIT - For years, Saturn
dealers lhave clamored for a bigger
car, something to offer·otherwise loyal customers who have simply outgrown Saturn's limited lineup of
small cars ..
· For years, General Molors chief
Jack Smith has been pushing GM to
come up with cars that can be built
iii the USA and Europe on 1he same
basic plalfonn, saving billions in
product development costs.
·· The ,two goals come together in
Innovate, code-name for the nex(generation Saturn, a version of the
Opel Vectra GM sells in Europe.
Innovate likely would go on .sale in
the USA in 1999 if GM's board
approves the project next month.
' The project has powerful· backers
at GM - Smith, small-car development chief Richard S. "Skip"
l;efauve and international technology
'*'ad Peter Hanenberger. Smith insists
tl)e project won'l happen just because
h~ wants it to: "I don't pull that kind
of weight."
But GM insiders say Innovate is
all but certain to get the go-~head.
Still, the effort runs the risk of
ruining the all-American imagt'that
has made Saturn a marketing phenomenon and of undoing the cooperalive labor relati011s ttult has set Saturn's Spring Hill. Tenn., plant apart
in the automotive world.
There also is no guarantee of success in the marketplace: Indeed, GM
has already scaled back sales estimates for Innovate. And the project
has been delayed repeatedly as GM
wrestled with the contentious issu~s
it raises.
Jack Smith's dream
As Gl\tl's international operations
chief in the late 1980s and early
1990s, Jack Smith helped tum GM
Europe into an efficient manufacturer of popular cars. He also launched .

"

OM's expansion into Eastern E~.
Latin America and Asia, using the
same cars GM sold in Europe.
GM engineers in Gennany could
tweak the cars lo meet consumers'
tastes and fuel-economy siandards in
different countries. The · cars were
basically the same underneath, sparing GM the $1 billion-plus needed to
develop all new cars for each market.
When Smith became OM chief
executive in 1992, one of his priori·
ties was gelling the USA and Europe
to share platfonns. He thought GM
was wasting money building five different small and midsize cars in
Europe and the USA. Long tenn,
Smith thought GM could get by with
one platfonn for small cars and
another fQI' midsize cars.
But gelling there would take a
decade. Meanwhile, GM product
planners wanted to run a one-car
experiment to test the idea of sharing
a platfonn.
Midsize cars had always been one
of GM's weaknesses in the USA;
GM's midsize offerings couldn't
compete with Ford's Taurus, Honda's
Accord and Toyota's Camry.
So, in 1994, developers decided
the European Opel Vectra, then a year
away from being overhauled for
Europe, should be turned into a car
for North America.
A search began for the division to
sell it. It had to be one whose dealers ·would do a good jOb peddling
something unique.
Beefing up Satum
There was only one answ~r: Saturn.
·
Since arriving in 1990, Saturn has
won countless customer-service
awards and boundless customer loyalty for its friendly, no-haggle
approach .
But Saturn's lineup has been limited since 1993 to two sedans, a
coupe and a station wagon as GM
executives debated how it should
grow. There was no rush because
" they don't want to mess up a good
thing. There's too much brand equity on the line, " says Richmond, Va.,
dealer Haywood "Huddy" Hyman
JII, a member of Saturn's board.
Also, after spending $3.9 billion to
get Saturn and its Spring Hill plant up
and running, GM was reluctant to
spend more to give Saturn a bigger
car. Despite strong sales, Saturn has
been minimally profitable because of
the hu~e start-up costs.
GM initially decided Saturn buyers could move up to Oldsmobile
when lhey wanted bigger cars. Olds
needed ihe business: Its sales have

."'

been sliding since the mid-1980s.
Olds tried to "Saturnize." It
adopted Saturn's no-dicker sticker
prices. It sent Olds dealers to Spring
Hill for rope-climbing exercises to
build ieamwork ahd sessions on Saturn's low-pressure sales tactics. ·
The effort failed: The bland Olds
image never fit Saturn buyers, says
Appleton, Wis., Saturn dealer John
Bergstrom: "They go to (w·Toyota)
Avalon or a Camry or an Accord. You
don't · see them driving a Buick
LeSabre or an Oldsmobile."
This summer, Olds canceled one·
price selling for the 1997 model year
and let dealers go back to negotiating,
dropping a key Saturn feature .
Meanwhile, Salurn dealers didn't
give up their push for a bigger car.
Market research was on their side:
"Saturn's loyalty rate (about 45 percent) would be 95 percenl if they had
a step-up car," says consultant Art
Spinella of CNW/Marketing.
The dealers cheered when GM
decided in 1994 to see whether it
could turn Vectra into a Saturn.
Labor woes
II seemed natural to build the bigger Saturn at the Spring Hill plant,
which had been designed to expand.
But UAW official Steve Yokich
had other ideas.
Yokich , now UAW president,
thought GM shouldn't pour more
money into S~turn when it was closing factories elsewhere. He had never liked Saturn's labor-management
partnership anyway. So he demand- .
ed that GM build the new Saturn at
another plant.
• Faced with the ultimatum, GM
picked its plant in Wilmington, Del.,
slated to close in 1996. Wilmington's
3,000 workers quickly approved a ·
special contract lhat gave GM flexibility in running the faclory.
Spring Hill seemed 10 be an afterthought. "The Wilmington situation
(sends) us a clear message we can not
afford. to ignore," says Saturn union
official Joe Rypkowski .
Early in Saturn's existence, OM
bragged aboul its can-do workers in
Tennessee. Saiurn dealers showed a
marketing · film called "Spring in
Spring Hill." The film celebrated the
workers, who gave up jobs and
seniority at other OM plants to join
Saturn and have more say in ·how
things were done. Workers appeared
in TV commercials, talking aboul
how they could make decisions on
1he factory floor withoul waiting for
management:S OK.

-year reduction, rail
accidents vex Ohio

By AARON MARSHALL
Gannett Newa Service
COLUMBUS- Although traffic
deaths at railroad crossings have
dropped statewide since 1989, Ohio
train-vehicle crashes show Ottawa
County as the IOth deadliest in the
state to cross railroads tracks.
The Public Utility Commission of
Ohio (PUCO) recently released its
grade crossing statistics for 1995,
including a 10-year look at all Ohio
accidents. Over the 1986-1995 period. six of the top IOcountics for rail•
road accidents were in the northwest
quadrant of the stale, including
Wood, Seneca and Ottawa.
However, in tenns of sheer number of railroad crossing crashes, the
report shows Ottawa County's 62
railroad accidents ranking 20th of
Ohio's 88 counties.
PUCO spokesperson Lee Veroski
pointed to the "high concentration of
railroads in that area" for the relatively high number of accidents in
northwest Ohio.
"The sheer number of crossings is
higher, S\l statistically there is just a
better chance of an accident taking
place," she said.
Ohio fatality numbers have
dropped like a crossing gate, nearly
halved from 63 in 1989to 32 in 1995.
In facl, last year was the first since
1986 when there were no fatalities in

Ottawa County.
Likewise, the total number of
accidents statewide has dropped from
418 in 1989 10 207 in 1995. Veroski
attributed both statewide drops 10
increased driver awareness and safely precautions.
She said $75 million in federal
dollar.; and $9 million in state funds
has been spent in Ohio to upgrade
railroad crossings since 1990.
· However, a bill reccnlly intro·
duccd by a northwcsl Ohio legislator
questions whether enough money is
being spent and from the right lypes
of funding sotirces.
·
House Bill 776, introduced by
State Rep. Lynn Wachtmann, RNapolcon, asks the PUCO to survey
. all railroad crossings and idenlify
those presenting a danger. The bill
then recommends to the General
Assembly that railroad companies be
assessed a tax on every gallon of
diesel fuel used in the state.
While the actual amount of the tax
would be based on lhc level of need
identified by the survey, lhc laK
money would be used to buy active
crossing warning devices such as
lights and gates.
Sponsor Wachlmann points out
thai Ohio is still ranked fourth ih the
nation in number of falalities and
accidenls over the past five years.

saying he intends to expiO.(C different
funding options.
" I view my bill as a vehic.le to do
more lhrough discussion of how to
deal with the issue of railroad safety," he said.
For example. he said perhaps
· more Iivcs can be saved if money is
taken out of 1hc highway safely fund
and put towards railroads crossings.
"We need to ask thusc lypc of
tough questions." he said.
One person already asking tough
question is Debbie Klostcnncicr,
who lives ncar lhe northwest Ohio
lown of Swanton . .
Her daughter and a friend were
killed in a 1994 train crossing accident. Kloslcnncier said her daughter's accident was the th11d in four
months at lhe crossing, marked only
with the X-crossbuck railroad sign,
and should have hecn prevented.
"The way I look at it is that it wus
$134.000 for lights and gates there .
but it also cost throe people their lives
... I know my daughter would he alive

Experimental t::hemical
slowing tobacco mold
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - An
experimen!al fungicide is proving
effective in · slowing the spread of
destructive blue mold throiJgh the
tobacco c{ol?·
Kentucky farmers obtained an
eme!J!ency exemption from the Environmental Protection Agency to use
the fungicide Acrobat MZ as a means
of controlling the mold, an airborne
disease that produces leaf lesions on
tobacco plants.
"It is working and doing a gOO!I
job," said Mike Ryan, owner of
Ryan's Agri and Pest Supplies.
Wilham Nesmith, an extension
plant pathologist at the University of
Kentucky, said the unusually rainy
weather this year improved conditions for blue mold production, but
the number of cases is still down.
He said prevention with the new
Acrobat chemicals and early detection of blue mold will be the keys to
stopping the disease this summer.
"This disease is very manageable. "
Nesmith said .
Blue mold can reproduce quickly.
It has been spotted in more than 40
Kentucky counties so far, but
Nesmith said that number could be as
high as 70.
The use of Acrobat MZ is one of
two reasons this summer has been
less troublesome than last summer,
when tobacco fam1ers lost more than
$88 million. The other reason is that
the initial amount of the fungus
introduced into Kentucky from transplants from other states was smaller
than in previous years, Nesmith said.

He cautioned that Acrobat MZ is
not ,a wonder drug. The chemical is
a preventive measure that can stop
strains of blue mold that are resistant
to Ridomil, another highly used
fungicide. It should be sprayed before
the mold is evident.
WASHINGTON (AP) - The
Agriculture Department has a plan
for compensating some growers,
grain handlers, storage facility owners and Oour millers damaged by the
outbreak of a wheat fungus.
The plan, due to take effect July
25, will provide compensation for
growers and . handlers of harvested
wheat in the quarantined area, regardless of whether the wheat tests positive for the Kamal bunt fungus.
The fungus, which reduces the
quality and quantity of wheat, was
discovered in Arizona in March.
USDA imposed a quarantine on shipments from . Arizona, Texas, New
Mexico and California; the embargo
was lifted in parts of Arizona, Texas
and New Mexico this week.
WASHINGTON (AP) - The
Commodity Credit Corp. will charge
interest of 6.75 percent for 1996 cropyear loans disbursed this month, up
from 6.625 percent m June.
The rate 'for pre-1996 crop-year
loans disbursed this month also is up,
from .5.625 percent in June to 5.75
percent. •
The rates are based on what CCC
must pay the Treasury Department
for money it bonows.

Deadline for enrolling in 7-year.
farm program is Friday, July '12
GALLIPOLIS -- All farmers with
a history of planting com, wheat, barley, oats, or ·grain sorghum on farms
that are owned or rented, are strongly urged to v1sit the1r local Farm Service Agency in Gallia and neighboring counties. The 1996 farm bill has
made provisions for a 7-year production Oexibility contract, instead of
annual acreage reduction programs.
There are no set-aside requirements
and producers may enroll even if no
crops are cunently being raised .
Farmers will have only until July
· 12 to sign the request to panicipate
in this program. Funds have been
approved by Congress, and if local
eligible producers do not request

what is due to them the money will
be redistributed to other producers
around the country.
Producers who are unsure which
crops had been reported to the Farm
Service Agency, should call their
local Farm Service Agency (4468686 or 1-888 211-1626 toll free for
Gallia-Lawrence.).
There wi II not be a chance after
July 12 to take advantage of this program. You may withdraw at anytime,
but 1996 is the only time you may
enter.

GAlLIPOLIS - Wet conditions

through the latter part of June. There
are still sever31 aeres of hay that has
not been harvested and many of the
acres that were cut had reached
maturity or had been rained on thus

Institute studying feasibility of whole-farm planning
By GEORGE AHTHAN
The Des Moines Register
WASHINGTON - Regardless
of the political climate in which conservatives ()ave sidetracked tough
restrictions lm how private propeny
can be used, the long-term trend is for
American society to demand environmental responsibility from agri·
culture - from family farmers and
from giant hog and cattle lots alike.
Surveys indicate that eyen . as
some in Congress have called for a
rollback of environmental protections, the public expects more gov·
ernment regulation of agricultural
practices that can have adverse
effects beyond the farm or livestock
operation.
If anything, spills from the waste
lagoons of large hog operations have
intensified public demands for agriculture to clean up its environmental
act.
There's no question that agricul- ·

ture has an impact on the environment far beyond farms themselves,
affecting surface and ground waters,
Oood patterns, wildlife habitat and ilir
quality.
At the same time, i!'s also clear
that there's less federal money available to help compensate farmers for
meeting wide-ranging stewardship
rules, and that agriculture would
resist being forced -into compliance
programs.
Thus, effons to improve agriculture's environmental record should
carry relatively low costs and should
make both technical and economic
sense to the farmers involved. And
lhey should result in measurable
progress to satisfy environmental
concerns.
The Henry Wallace Institute for
Alternative Agriculture at Beltsville,
Md., has undertaken to seek some
practical answers, convening a round-

A report on the results was wrilten by David Ervin, agricultural
economist at Oregon State Universi ty, and by Katherine Smith, d1rector
of policy studies at the Wallace Insti tute.
They look at the feasibility of
installing what's called " whole-farm
planning," described as a "holistic
management approach to the intc·
gration of farming objectives .with
agro·cnvironmcntal goals."
Ervin and Smith state that production plans taking into account a
farm 's natural rcsourc~s - soil,
water, trees - -have existed for
almost a century.
"But there is something new
about (whole-farm planning): the
explicit accounting of environmental
effects that .cross the farm boundary."·
They stale that whole-farm planning "ideally starts by assessing all

They found a I00-pound titanium

into two pieces, and shards of metal

piece landed 600 feet east of the run·

Packed with holiday travelers,

after it caught fire.
Within seconds, Oying pieces of
