By BRIAN J. REED Sentinel News Staff · The report of high levels of a contaminant In Middleport's water supply may .have been the result of ye~rs of improper testing. The concentration of thrichloroethylene in 'water samples from Middleport's Well No. 4 has been discussed by village officials and the Ohio EPA since brought to light by a citizens' group last sunlmer. . Sampling performed by the village in accordance with. EPA requirements has shown levels of trichloroethylene as high as 3.6 microliters per gallon. According to the EPA, a level of 5 ml/g is considered dangerous. · Levels of the compound have fluctuated during quarterly te~ts, but have averaged around 2 ml/g. Testing performed in early December, however, showed a nondetectable level of the chemical, raising questions as to how the latest sample was collected. According to Village Supervisor Brent Manley, the latest sample was collected at. the well head, · while past samples had been collected at a 'yard hydrant. Testing from the hydrant could have resulted in samples that were contaminated, according to · Manley. · ·· The yard hydrant is located some 55 feet from the well head, and the water was likely contaminated somewhere between the wei\ and the hydrant, resulting in inaccurate VOC levels. The EPA recommends testing at the well head ' . while the well is ·pumping. At Monday's meeting of · . Middleport Village Council, Manley said that water ' samples will now be collected from the well bead, and will continue to be collected quarterly as recom· 11)ended by the EPA. ' · Manley said that he had met with Jeffrey Crisler of the Ohio EPA, who had reviewed the sampling methods used by the village in collecting the 'December sample. "These test results are accurate,~ Manley said. Crisler's. visit was part of annual visit to review the village's water system.

Bipartisan panel recommends overhaul of veterans programs ~TOMRAUM Alloclated Press Writer :.. WASHINGTON - A congresstonally appointed commission recO(ftmended today the first major OYerhaul in veterans benefits since World War IJ, including improvements in two of the most popular of all government programs: the Gl Bill 's educational program and home loan guarantees . . . The GI Bill proposal is the most dramatic of the I00 recommendations by the 12-member bipartisan panel. If adopted br, Congress, the government would pay for .full college costs for veterans who served at least four · years on active duty, regardless of the cost of the college or university, plus throw in a $400-a-month stipehd. . "So many yopth today see the 11.1ilitary as a detour, not as a path to a college education," said chairman Anthony J. Principi in an interview. , The bipartisan panel also recomll)ended combining some military and veterans' health-care benefit programs and allowing those in the mili(ary to invest in tax-deferred retirement accounts, similar to 401(k) accounts available in the private sector. Principi said the panel's recommendations would help reverse a long slide in morale' in the military and to help personnel retention. - While conceding that the legisla- tive package cuts across the jurisdiction of many congressional commit· tees and federal agencies, Principi said: "I think it will fly." · · The 12-member Congressional Commission on Servicemembers and Veterans Transition Assistance was created by Congress in 1997 to study the transition of military veterans to civilian life. "The system is broken, and the · commission took a no holds barred . approach to fixing it," Principi, a San ' Diego lawyer who was deputy director of the Department of Veterans Affairs in the Bush administration. Youthful veterans of World War II and Korea used the education and housing provisions of the Gl Bill to put themselves through college and !>uy homes. . But, although the programs remain on the books, in recent years they have become less generous and effective in the face of sharply rising tuition and real estate costs .. Under the proposed overhaul, veterans who are first-time home buyers could purchase 1\Dmes with no out-ofpocket expenses. Th'at was the original intent of the so-called VA loans, but veterans who currently use it · must come up with a 2 percentage points fee to cover the transaction. This fee would be eliminated.

Police arrest man sought for questioning in murder of s~year-old witness, mother By DENISE LAVOIE Associated Press Writer , . BRIDGEPORT, Conn. - Police today arrested a man sought for ~Westioning in the killing of an 8:year-old boy who was t;l\pected to testify against him in a murder trial.. Russell Peeler was found Wednesday and placed· under arrest shortly after midnight on a weapons charge, , aid state police Sgt. Scott Anderson. . Peeler was being he)d without ~nd on· charge of possession of a stolen firearm and was to be arraigned this morning in Superior Court in Bridgeport. Police found Peeler on Wednesday morning at the home of his father. along with the gun. · Peeler had been free on $900,000 bond in a murder case in which the boy, Leroy Brown Jr., was exptected to be a key witness. · Police would not ' say whether Peeler is a suspect in the killings last week of Leroy and his mother, Karen Clarke, who were shot to death in their home . · Although police have not said the .killings of Leroy and his . mother are connected to Peeler's case, the slayings have sparked widespread outrage about why the ,boy .was not pro- a • tected as a witness in a violent crime case. His mother had turned down special police protection after a few days; she said it was too disruptive. Many have questioned why Peeler was free on bond when Leroy and his mother were killed. His lawyer has said he was at home at the time the boy wa~ killed, monitored by an electronic bracelet. · Peeler is charged in the May 29, 1998, fatal shooting of Rudolph Snead Jr. - Clarke's boyfriend and an earlier attempt on his life. Leroy identified Pe.eler as the gunman in a Sept. 2, 1997, drive-by · shooting in which Snead was slightly injured. . Members of the Connecticut Violent Crime Fugitive Task Force also were searching.for Peeler.'s brother, Adrian, who was wanted for allegedly escaping from a halfway house, Anderson said. During that search, they raided a home owned by Peeler's father and is a short distance from the duplex where Clarke ·and Leroy were slain. Police found a weapon had been reponed stolen early last year from a Milford gun shop, officials told the Connecticut Post.

Germs, for starters - though a bite from Fido is · still much "cleaner" than one from a human being . · Cultures from 107 infected dog and cat bites turned up 152 kinds of bacteria, including 10 not previously known to infect,people, according to a study in today's New England Journal of Medicine. There were aQ average of five kinds of genns per bite. It's the best study of the topic so far and should persuade doctors not to try the cheap route when treating infected bites, emergency physicians said. The germs aren 't dangerous unless the skin is broken, meaning it's probably OK to let your dog lick your face. In fact, human bites are much more dangerous, in tenns of " It certainly expandi our knowledge in that area," said Dr. Robert McNamara, president of the American Academy of Emergency Medicine . And, he said, it shows that the broad,spectrum antibiotics usually prescribed for bites are the right treaunent. About 20 percent of the patients treated at 18 emergency rooms did not get those drugs, ~aid Dr. David Talan of UCLA Medical Center, the study's lead author. "One concern with treating these infections is that the antibiotics you use are fairly expensive/' McNamara said. "Sometimes people try to get away with the cheaper medicines,like.p,enicillin alone. Hopefully, this will. eliminate that 20 per- genns transmined. " If you have a choice about being bitten, you don't want a. person. Choose your cat," said Dr.' Toni Mitchell of the American College of Emergency Physicians. Millions of people get bitten ·every year. About 270,000 go to emergency rooms to have dog and cat bites treated, and about 9,000 have to be hospill!lized. Most of the time, it's because of the damage to flesh and bone from the bite itself. However, infections ' can force amputation and even cause death. The class of germs found most often includes 'ones that can cause meningitis and blood infec.tions. · This study looked at people treated for infected bites at 18 emergency roolJIS around the country. A list of the germs they found took U[l>r* full page in small type. · By JEFF WILSON Assodated Press Writer LOS ANGELES (AP) - The American Film Institute has decided to pick the 50 greate&t American film legends of the 20th century, despite criticism of its top 100 motiori pictures list last year. , . ijumphrey·, J;loj!art.-Jean Ha~low, Cll!l'k Gable, Rita Hayworth and Spencer Trjlcy were obvious candi- . dates on the list of 500 nominees sent out this week. Ronald Reagan is there, too. And Will Rogers, George Raft and The Three Stooges. "This celebration of legends wiil no doubt generate a great deal of dis cussion and controversy. Someone will find fault," AFI chairman Tom Pollock said. By design, current box office stars like Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep, John Travolta, Harrison Ford and Susan Sarandon are missing from the list. AFI defined " American screen legend" as an actor with a signifi'ant screen presence in American movies whose screen debut occurred prior to 1951 or whose . debut occurred after 1950 but whose death . marked a completed body of wor,.k. That allowed inclusion of James Dean, ·Grace Kelly. John Belushi, Elvis Presley, Steve McQueen, Sal Mineo, Anthony J>erkins, fohn Houseman and others, even Divine. Jurors were asked to consider five criteria: star quality (charisma and presence}, craft (ability to embody distinctly different characters}, legacy (body of work left behind), popularity (public . following over time) and historical context. API archivists compiled the list of 250 actors and 250 actresses on the ballot, which were sent Tuesday and must be returned .in two weeks. Write-ins were encouraged. More than 1,500 film industry professionals, including historians, archivists arid writers got ballots . President Clinton and Vice President AI Gore were also invited to participate.

Folic acid may be one of the less familiar: In January 1998 it · joined the list of fortifiers added to breads, cereals, pastas and rice. But according to Mayo Clinic Women's HealthSource (November 1997), half of all Americans don't meet the Recommended Daily Allowance for folic acid (180 micrograms for women, 200 micrograms for men). Folic acid is vital for cell growth and the synthesis of DNA. For women who may be considering having a baby, folic acid is of particular importance. Maintaining adequate levels before ·becoming pregnant has been shown to greatly reduce the incidence of neural tube defects such as spina bifida. ' One of the simplest ways to get folic acid is to drink an 8-ounce glass of orange juice at breakfast. But, since that will take you only about half of the way, you should also eat more foods naturally high in .folic acid at lunch and dinner, too. Fortified breads, cereals and pastas are good sources. Other foods to include in your meals · are beans, nuts,JCeds and dark leafy greens.

The mixture will absorb odors ·and excess moisture. If you have a lot of scraps at once, dump in a little at a time, ·covering each layer with the. sawdust-soil mixture. Chop uJ? large pieces and let water drain from anything that is very wet before you toss it in the bucket. Do not put meat. litterbox waste, or anything else that you would not put into your .outdoor compost pile into the indoor compost bucket. · When your bucket is full, set it aside and start, filling . the other empty bucket. By the time the second bucket is full , the contents of the first one will be well on their way to becoming compost. Dump the con- . tents of that first bucket outside on your compost pile, and start filling that .bucket again while the second one sits. Keep the bucket you are filling and the. sawdust~soil mixture right in the kitchen. There, warmth hastens decomposition an-d the whole setup is as convenient as a sink's garbage disposal or a garbage pail. 97 FORD EXPLORER XLT 4 DR :roritorrow: w.rmer By SYD KRONIS.H For AP Special Features Most stamp collectors have Seen the list of the 1999 U.S. .Postal Service commemorative stamps.

The second of three days set aside for the House;s presentation was continuing today with a·summation ~f (evidence and arguments that the president's conduct violated criminal law. · · A key decision facing senators is whether to call wit· 'nesses during the trial. •; . "If you boil the cilse down, somebody.'s telling we 'truth under oath and somebody's lying under oath," Rep. ,James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., one of the House prosecutors, said on NBC's "Today." "And the only way the senators will ~ able to determine which is which is 1)\y seeing the principals, looking at their facial expressi~hs, looking at the tone of their-voice and making a detenbi- nation." On Thursday, Clinton carried on at the White House, preparing for Tuesday's State of the Union address. Today he was scheduled to address a reinventing government forum at the State Department before flying to New York City to unveil a new economic initiative. · designed to encourage investment in underserved lnner-city and rural communities. The opening day of arguments . in the first presidential impeachment trial this century ,was carried out with decorum inside the Senate chamber, where senators sat in silence for nearly six hours with just two quick recesses. Once senators stepped outside into the hallways, the opening volleys .of a political free-for-all got under way. White House spokesmen derided the case by the allRepublican prosecution team. Democratic senators said they had heard nothing new. Repllblicans praised the prosecutors' presenta.tions. Senate Majority Leader Trent Loll, R-Miss., chided Democrats in a written statement for commenting on the substance of the case- contending most Republicans followed his admonition to hold their political fire. "What we heard today was nothing new," said freshman Sen. Charles Schumer, D.N.Y., who served ori the House .Judiciary Committee as that panel built the impeachment case with sharp partisan divisions. "I think some in the House ·, hope·if we keep saying it enough, maybe (pro-Clinton) public opinion will ·change.l do.n't think s,o ," Schumer told ·reporters. · Sen. Frank Murkowski, R-Alaska, countered that the prosecution brought the jurors "achronology we've not had ....

Calling on Iraq tO take advantage of the exemption to a 9-year-old U.S. Security Council trade embargo, State Department spokesman James P. Rubin said the process for approving contracts for food an\1 medicine would be · made virtually automatic. The U.S. proposals are designed part)y to counter a campaign by Baghdad of accusing the United States of starving the Iraqi people through its support of economic sanctions. . Iraq is permitted to sell $5.2 billion worth of oil every . six months provided the proceeds are used to purchase food, medications and other humanitarian supplies. That ceiling would be lifted if the U.S. proposal were accepted by the Security Council. it would not assur~ a better life for Iraqi children, pregnant women, nursmg mothers and the elderly. According to U.S. officials, Iraq has kept huge supplies oi food and medicine in store· houses, refusing to distribute them to the needy. " Unfortunately and sadly for the people of Iraq, the government of Iraq has chosim not to order important . foodstuffs anil medicines for ita people," Rubin said; "Furthermore, the government of Iraq has rejected donations of humanitarian goods from other countries. "The United States would support eliminating the ceiling on funds from oil exports so that those funds can be used solely for humanitarian food and medicine," Rubin said. "We would al59 support reasonable measures to • . . rules to raise any objections. At the White•House, presidential spokesman James Kennedy attacked th.e Republican case as "both unsubstantial and circumstantial. We look forward to presenting·our defense based on the facts, the law and the Constitution." . · · Clinton is charged with perjury and obstruction of justice in two articles of impeachment approved Dec. 19 by the House along partisan lines. It takes a two-thirds · vote in the Senate to remove the · president from office, meaning a dozen Democrats would have to join the 55 Republicans to convict him. Rep. Asa Hutchinson, R-Ark., presenting the case for obstruction, methodically wove tosether a series of presidential actions in late 1997 and into 1998 that, he said, were designed to keep Clinton's extramarital affai.r with Monica Lewinsky from the Paula Jones lawyelli at all costs. · Beginning on Dec. 5, 1997, when Ms. Lewinsky was added to the potential list of witnesses in Mrs. Jones' .gxual harassment lawsuit against the president,· "the wheels of obstruction started rolling and they did not stop until the president successfully blocked the truth from coming out on a civil rights case," Hutchinson argued .
