She has graduall y been losing her sense of smell and has constant headaches and nasal congestion. She has had -examinations and tests, but neve r tells the doctors about her home remedy. I'm · very concerned about this problem. She says that smce she's not using commercial sprays, she doesn't have to worry about becoming dependent on this one.

The strong components of her spray may certainly cause tissue damage. It's curious why she refuses to divu lge her secret to the doctrors.

Council President Sandy lannarelli , who Contlnuad on page 3 presided at last night's meeting, that she had beeri in contact with Rumpke since the last meet- ing, and that efforts were underway to resolve res· ident. complaints. · But she 53id that an ultimatum had been deliv· ered: either service improved or another provider would be r~tained for refuse servi_ce. In the meantime, lannarelli said, she and Clerk Bryan Swann had been in contact with officials in Oak Hill , where a village-run refuse service is in place. Council discussed the possibility of using money in the village refuse fund to purchase need· ed equipment, such as a compactor 111!ck and dumpsters, but took no action. · Swann estimated the cost of a compactor truck at $80,000. lannarelli noted that the possibility of a village-operated system was only an option, and that more extensive consideration would be made before a decision is made. Swann, and council members Beth Stivers and Roger Manley were charged with the responsibility of further researching the issue. Don Stivers of the Middleport Volunteer Fire Depar\ment presented a single bid for the purchase of a village fire truck, which is to be replaced later this year. Council approved the sale of the truck, at a price of $31,100, to the Mason; WVa., fire department, with tlie proceeds to offset the cost of the new truck, which will he largely funded by a . permanent levy approved last fall. lannarelli noted that repairs were needed o.n a portion of the roof on the village hall.

Of greater concern is the threat of a severe economic blow to the coun· tries around the world higging in their Y2K Pfi:Pa~tions.. Russta m partiCular could ·face midwinter energy shortages. and breakdowns in its nuclear power and missile systems. The Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday 'took up a more controversial bill, a measure sposored by Sens. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and Dianne Feinstein, D·Calif., that · wo.uld limit lawsuits arising from Y2K breakdowns. . The bill has strong backing from the business community, which warns that Y2K problems could . result in up to $1 trillion in lawsuits. U.S. Chamber of Commerce Pres· ident "I'hqmas Donohue told the Judi· ciary Committee that one estimate is that for every dollar spent fixing the problem, $2 or $3 will be spent in courts. "Obvi~usly, this scenario would be a monumental tragedy for American businesses, workers and consumers." The administration, backed ..,by trial.lawyers, has blocked all previous efforts by t~~ GOP-led ~ngress to reduce puntltve damages m pmduct liability cases. Assistant Attorney General Eleanor Acheson, at the hearing, questioned whether the legislation could un~rcut the incentives for fix· 'ing Y2K problems and "prevent businesses and consumers with legit· imate claims from vindicating their rights." The bill would set aside a 90-day "problem-solving" period allowing companies to remedy problems before lawsuits can be filed. II would encourage mediation, limit punitive damages and put some restrictions on class-action lawsuits. The Senate Commerce Conimit· tee is to vote Wednesday on a similar bill sponsored by its chairman, Sen. ' John McCain, R·Ariz.

Berra, the tfall of f'ame catcher who had boycotted the .New York Yankees since George Steinbrenner fired him 14 years ago, attended an intrasquad game in Tampa, Fla. "It's tremendous . It's a great feeling," said Steinbrenner. who wants Berra· at the regular-season home opener against Detroit on April 9 . · Steinbrenner apologized two months ago for firing Berra after a slow start in April 1985. Berra has not been back to the ballpark for a Yankees game since. "He ·called, he wanted to apologize and he said the right thing. If he didn' t, I \vouldn't be ltere ," &,erra said. He wouldn ' t commit to the home· opener, but made clear he's likely to appear. " We'llsee what happens," Berra said, adding, "Let's keep it a secret." Seaver, the Hall of Fame righthander who has spent the last II . . years away from the team , arrived at camp in Port St . lucie , Fla., in his new role as special instructor for the team's pitchers, . "You just look at him and are kind of overwhelmed," said Jason Isringhausen, one of Seaver 's first pupils. "I will listen to anything he says to me . It is a total respect thing ." Seaver, who also will broadcast the team "s games this season, said he is anxious to help out wherever he can, especially with Hideo Nomo. "The one thing about Nomo that is on my checklist is to see what he is like at his release point," Seave.r said. "All the other stuff can be supertlu· ous, but the more the movement, 'the more the release point becomes inconsistent and fatigue can set in. " It's j.ust like watching Arnold Palmer swing a golf club. You say a guy can't swing that way, but when he gets to the contact point, he's in the right spot. It might be the same way with Nomo." Sammy ·Sosa also arrived at spring training Monday, three days after most of his teammates made it to Cubs' camp in Mesa, Ariz. " I just feel happy," he said. "Everybody is here waitin g for me. I love it.'' Mark McGwire won the hom e run race 70-66, but Sosa helped the Chicago Cubs reach the play offs by hitting .308 with 158 RBls. Sosa spent a whirlwind offseason travel. ing the world, picking up awards, . working for Dominican Republi c hurricane relief and making public appearances. He was in Japan, Venezuela , Puerto Rico, New York, Los Angeles , Arizona, Atlanta, Las Vegas and Washington, D.C., where he helped light the national Christmas tree and attended the State of the Union address . In contrast , McGwire went on vacation to . Australia and made almost no personal appearances. ''I'm satisfied because 66 is a lot of home runs and lot of people wanted . to shake my hand," Sosa said. "I've been meeting a lot ofpeople I would have never dreamed about. The nicer you are to people , the more they want to be around you . I think I hav e earned t~at respect from evcryhody ."
