So what would happen if Jeep leaves the city? "It would be terrible blow to our economy," Mayor Carty Finkbeiner said. And a psychological one as well to a city that has made a remarkable eccr nomic recovery 10 the last few years. ' That's why city and state offic1als are promising to fight hard to persuade Chrysler Corp. to keep Jeep in Toledo. Chrysler said earlser this month that it Will built a new Jeep plant in e11)ler Ohio or Mich1gan . The $1 bllhon plant would replace two factories in Toledo that make Jeep Cherokees and Wranglers.

But Finkbemer and others aren't sitting back. The mayor formed the Toledo Jeep Quick Response Team in July after reports that Chrysler might build a new plant in Michigan. The team, made up of representatives from business, government and the UnuedAulo.Workers, is looking into plan~ sues and possible econom•c mcenbves. Donald Jakeway, the director of the Oh10 Department of Development, sa•d keepmg Jeep in Toledo IS a priority.

Harvey, La.: When I was in my 20s, I had no desire to have children. My ltusband was well aware of this before we married. We discussed it at length. and he said it was fine with him. When I turned 30. for some mysterious reason, .I became obsessed with the desire to have a child, but I had been using an IUD and it took three years of trying before I could conceive. After two miscarriages, I had a beautiful baby girl. The next year, I was blessed with an adorable little boy. The message from here is "never say never."

And at 39, the prospect of going through a divorce is fright ening and the chances of finding someone else to marry are pretty slim. So what do I do now?

Medicare recipients could. sign up wfth health networks organized by coalitions .of doctors lipd hospitals - or use doctor.; outside of their managed health care system for an extra fee, under a pilot program in. Ohio and selected other g0vem states: · · , The te beginning Wednesday, is aimed at encouraging more f Medicare's 38 million beneficiaries to choose m aged care plans, which restrict the choice of provide[• bilt offer additional benefits such as vision· caQi or IJ!I"'er co-payments. Fewer than S milli Medicare recipients choose managed care now - e en though it ~!aves the government money. The first phase of the program will be ava· le to Medicare beneficiaries in Philadelphia, Hous n, Orlando, Aa., 110d southern Virginia, the Health Finane- ing Administration said Friday. Later in 1997, the demonstration is expected to include 19 health core plans in Florida; California, Geor- . gia, Illinois, Louisiana, Montana, New York, .Ohio, Pennsylvania 1111d Texas. The pilot was created after the agency noticed that in some cities, managed core was widely used in the private sector but not among Medicare beneficiaries, said Barbara Cooper, director of the Office of Research and onstrations. The demonstration is meant to see if adding more options would encourage n\ore enrollment, she said. Medicare recipients noYi must choose between a traditional fee-for-service plan and a Health Maintenance Organization, or HMO, where all care is delivered by provid~rs within the network. · Under the demonstration, new options will incl~: • Provider-sponsored networks, which m like HMOs but organized by coalitions of doctQr.l and hospitals (available in Orlando, Philadelphia ·and Houston). · • Preferred-provider organizations, ·or PPOs, which Ill low user.; to go O!Jtside the network but attach a finan· cial penalty (available in Philadelphia). •A hybrid plan. where one plan offers an HMO, a PPO and a point-of-~rvice plan, which allows limited out-of-network services with higher penalties (available in rural southern Virginia). . The demonstrations are also testing a new way for the . government to pay managed care organizations for thei~. services. The current system leads to overpayments• because those who enroll in·HMOs tend to be hcalthi~r, Cooper said. . ·Elections board looks at reshaping Gallia voting .precincts GALLIPOLIS - Dwindling popola- a polling board to take care of that many." lion in one ~and increasing residency The state regulation on limiting in others has' mpted lhe Gallia County precincts to 1,000 orless voters was instiBoard of El' tions to start looking at luted about ·two years ago, but did not reshaping soll}t of the county's 36 voting present a problem locally until this year's precincts. · election when Green and Springfield · Elections Director Jeff Halley said that besan nearing the limit, Halley said. due to the .low number of registered votA merger of precincts in Gallipolis • er.; in several of Gallipolis' nine would not exceed the limit, Halley said. precincts, some will probably be merged The 'large11 number of voie11 in a single before the next county-wide eleciion. city precinct in the last general election But Green and Springfield townships, wu4' B with 455 and the smallest was 2two areas that have gained population for 8 with 201. more than a ~ade, may get additional But Green, which has four precincts. precincts to.handle the illcteQSE in voters. continues to experience a population "What we got into was tha) the state growth that may call for the creation of does not want over I,000 voters in a sin- another polling site.
