Democrats and Jtepublicans are hustling to bring various forms of election-year aid to fanne~ in the Upper Midwest. where recurrent bouts of wet weather and diseao;e have wreaked havoc, and for those in Texas and elsewhere broiling in the summer heat wave. There is no dispute that these farmers are confronted with dire problems. Because prices are down for major crops like com. ~oybeans and wheat due to redU<.-ed exports and abundant world supplies, farmers with reduced yields are facing an even more severe hit. "You have some places whete you have no price and no crop." Prcsidtnt Clinton told farm broadcasters last week. But unless weather patterns change markedly over the next few w~eks. the Com Belt and many other highly productive U.S. farm area' are on track to produce big com and soybean crops this year, in some cases record levels. Higher yields per acre mean more crop to sell, which softens the blow of lower prices. In addition, many farmers arc taking advantage of contracts and options offered through futures markets that locked in higher prices long before they were to harvest their crops. " While these prices arc les. than those experienced during the past two years, they an:, for the most part. substantially higher than the average prices received by producers during the last decade." said Dean Kleckner. prcsidtnt of the American Farm Bureau Fcdtration. Indeed. Agriculture Department statistics show the average price farmers arc getting this year for a bushel of wheat is between $2.70 and $3.1 0. Between 1990 and 1994. the average price was $3.11. Com prices arc similar.

The SEC definition also included the limitation that a penny stock wa.s one not traded on a national securities exchange or quoted in the Na.~­ daq list maintained by the National Association of Securities Dealers.

' ' SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich. (AP) - Hunters toting guns are a common sight in Rob Arbic 's rural neighborhood. Even so, Arbic was immediately suspicious of the man with a shotgun striding across his brother·s cow pasture. "He was walking very intently, very focused, eyes on ground in front of him, like a man who had a destination and didn't want to get sidetracked," Arbic said Sunday. Arbic's instincts proved sound. The man was missing newspaper carrier Nathan Hanna. wanted on a murder charge since the circulation manager of The Evening News was shot to death Thursday morning. Alerted by Arbic's 911 call, asheriff's deputy and two state police troopers confronted Hanna on a twolane highway about I In miles south of town. Sheriff Jeff Moran said Hanna ignored their orders to drop his gun, then fired a shot that missed the officers. They returned ftrc. hilling him in the chest, stomach and leg. Hanna. who grew up in Knox County, Ohio, was in stable but guarded condition at War Memorial Hospital, and was charged with murder and using a firearm to commit a felony. Sault Ste. Marie. a town of about 18.000, is on Michigan's ea•tem Upper Peninsula. about 350 miles north of Detroit on the Canadian border. Arbic, a former corrections officer who lives on the country highway that runs parallel to nearby Interstate 75, was standing on his father's porch next door when he spotted the stranger in the pasture across the road. The man crossed the highway and turned toward town, passing Arbic's house and coming within a few feet of his I0-year-old daughter. who was mowing the front lawn. Arbic's wife was sunbathing in the back yard. He was a big fellow, had a beard and a shotgun. Didn'tthat sound like the guy the police were looking for? Arbic grabbed a pair of binoculars. crept through the yard, hiding behind trees and bushes to keep watch on Hanna, and called police. Officers had searched Chippewa County for Hanna since Thursday morning, when he allegedly walked into The Evening News building and killed circulation manager Anthony Gillespie with two shotgun blasts. The gunman apparently fled immediately, although police cordohed off a two-block area for ftve hours, fearing he might be inside. About 15 sta!Teis hid in the darkroom and elsewhere until officers entered the building. Police said the shooting was not work-related. but they had not disclosed a possible motive. Although law enforcement agencies as far away as Hanna's native Ohio were on alert. he apparently never left the Sault Ste. Marie area. The Evening News. which has not published since the shooting. plans to resume publication Tuesday, editor Ken Fazzari said. Good Afternoon .

U.S. Marshal David troutman said. Hubbard Police Chief Ray Moffitt said he didn't think Holmes had been with Smith.

The decrease brought the seasonally adjusted sales rate to 4.72 million. down from 4.83 million, the highest since the National Association of Realtors began tracking sales in 1968.

I have known of them for some years but we only wave at one another. For some reason. however, I found myself suddenly bumping up against them in a short amounl of lime. which is how I know lheir story.

When their efforts (whteh con· sisted of halfheartedly mentioning this desire to relatives and acquaintances al ball games) failed, lhey took "Bartie" to 1he pound. Bartie was friendly. if a little uncontrolled. He had been lied up from the time he was aboul six months old, because he jumped up on lhe children and nobody bolhered to train him. Incidentally. lhe dog had only his first round of shots, had ne ver heen licensed. and had been to the vet only once for treatment of a punc· ture wound .

By Phillip Alder . David Bird has put out the third book in !he excellent series started with Terence Reese (who died last year). "Famous Leads and Defences" (Gollancz). II contains 60 deals, many of which you will rec· ognize if you read all the literature (except, I'm sure, number 23). But in each case you are given a chance to find the killing play yourself, before turning the page to see the full layout. To test yourself here, leave only the West hand on view. What would •· you lead against four hearts? The deal occurred in 1935 during : the celebrated match between two I married couples: Josephine and Ely Culbertson, Dorothy and P. Hal Sims. They battled over 150 rubbers, with the Culbertsons winning by 16,130 .,.Tf\E. OOLY 11 Me YOOii:: OFF 1<£., points. ~ I~ O~N 1:'> Wfl(.~ Agreed, South· s retreat to four beans is inexcusable.

After winning with her ace, Josephine con· tinued with the spade five. There wa.~ a considerable pause while Sims chose his play. Eventually. though, he gol it wrong, a~king for dummy's jack. Ely grabbed the trick with the queen and returned a spade to his partner's :ice: one down . The match generated much media interest. The next day, Sims said to !he press, "I didn't expect Josephine to underlead the same ace twice, . especially against an expert who is so well-known for his ability to make the correct guess in such situations."

REED Sentinel News Staff The Meigs County Board of Mental Retardation will place a \.8-mill levy proposal on the November ballot, but will change the proposal somewhat in hopes that it will finally p;ISS. Steve Beha. administmtor of the Carleton School and Meigs Industries, the fiiCility operated by the MRIDD Board. received authorization (rom the Meigs County Commissioners on Monday to place the levy on the general election ballot. The board has attempted several times to pass the levy as a continuing levy. However. the new proposal involves a 1.8-mill. five-year levy. If passed, the levy will be used for general opemting expenses and to fund an extensive capital improvement progmm. According to a news release issued by Beha. the levy proceeds would be used to purchase two new buses and would finance a twophase construction project which would add 4.200 square feet to the facility's adult services area and 4,200 feet to the school-age area. That building program would take advantage of $300,000 in state funding which was approved. but which requires a local match . The program employs some 70 people in addition to the adult clients who receive paychecks through contract jobs. The levy. if approved. would generate an additional $380.000 per year.

By BRIAN J_ REED Sentinel News Staff The Meigs County Home will permanently close on Monday. Aug. I0. Action taken by the Meigs County Commissioners at their regular meeting on Monday will result in the closing of the home due to financial concerns. Commission President Janet Howard stepped down as president yesterday to make a motion to close the home. with Commissioner Fred Hoffman voting in favor and Commissioner Jeffrey Thornton voting against the closing. "The commissioners have determined that it is no longer economi- cally fea~ible to operate a county home due to the small number of persons eligible for such service and due to the high cost of operating such a home for a small number of individuals," the commissioners' resolution said. Only two permanent residents remain in the home. down from \0 whom were housed there when the commissioners first announced their intentions of closing it in January. Another resident is currently housed there temporarily. The resolution further states that the relatives and guardians of the remaining residents will be notified of the closing date and given the option of choosing where the residents will be transferred. and that the Director of the Department of Human Services will be charged with the rsponsibility of determining in the future who is eligible for county care. Howard said yesterday that the building will remain county property and will likely be renovated and used for county ollice space, in order to save money now spent for renting privately-owned buildings. The Veterans Service Office. which has been the subject of discussion in recent weeks due to accessibility problems. the Board of Elections. lh~ county grants administmtor. and the county's Litter Conlrol oper- ation are all housed in rented office· spaces. The commissioners will maintain beds in the building for use a.s an emergency disaster shelter. Howard· said. The DHS Director. as part of his duty relating to indigency determination. will also determine suitable places of residence for indigent residents. The commissioners originally voted to close the home in January. and then in March. but later modified that decision. closing the honie to new residents only. The action was taken after a levy proposal for the county home's operation failed in November. Financial condition of county worsens County proposes ·half-percent sales tax By BRIAN J. REED Sentinel News Staff .In an attempt to remedy the county's increasingly-serious financial woes. the Meigs County Commissioners are proposing an increase in the county sales tax. The county now collects one percent on all taxable sales in the county, and will seek an additional halfpercent, which will generate an estimated $400,000 to $600,000 per year. The county's existing one pertax generated cent sales $1,025,185.31 for the county general fund last year. according to County Auditor Nancy Parker Campbell. The county sales tax is paid in addition to the state's five percent sales-tax. County Commissioner Janet Howard, who made a motion to hold two public hearings. as required b,1 law, on the proposal. said that the county faces $350.000 in expenses above gener~i operating expenses next year: $100.000 to repair the county's abandoned landfill. $50.000 to make required improvements to the county jail in order to meet state fire codes, $50.000 to expand and make other needed' repairs to the jail. $90,000. $32.000 of which was borrowed. to finance this year's purchase of a new computer for the auditor's otlice. and $60.<Xl0 to retire the debt incurred by the purchase of new sheriff's cruisers. The commissioners, with Howard dissenting. also voted to borrow $\00,000 in orderto pay $54.043.53 in delinquent bills for the county sheritfs department. as well as anticipated linancial needs for the department for the remainder of the year. The bills consist of bills for housing prisoners in jails outside of the county and medical bills and prescription costs for prisoners. which the county is re4uired to pay. Of the $485.979.80 appropriated in the sheritl's budget in January. only $9,980.70 remains. not including funds for salaries. The budget contain.~ balances of$71.62 fQr supplies. DISCUSS BUDGET • Meigs County Treasur- er Howard Frank discussed the worsening con· dillon of Meigs County's finances with the Meigs County Commissioners on Monday. Also pictured are Commissioners Jeffrey $3.314.94 for food. $309.84 for contmct services. $6,000 for gao;o\ine and oil. $300 for training. and $2.90 for medicnl expenses fo~ prisoners. The remaining line items contain zero balances. including office supplies.tmvel. housing. uniforms and other nonsnlary considerations. "I haven problem with agreeing to boiTDw money if I can't guarantee repayment," Howard said. Her comments echoed advice given the board earlier in the day by County Treasurer Howard Frank. who gave the commissioners a statement about the tinancinl condition of the county. Frank noted that the county auditor was re4uin:d to sign any loan documt:nts. guaranteeing rhat the ~oun ­ ty will have funds available to repay any loan "hen due. With a new commissioner coming on board in January. .such a commitment could be risky. Frank said. Noting that the L:ounty's growth remained at about $K.5!MJ per year.

"There isn't anyone who can work and live on a 30 year-old budget. bul the county is doing that," Frank said. "Any . time you spend the growth. which has .stayed constant at $8.500. you have to take it off(a department's budget), and now, you have reached a point where you can't take it off and pay the bills." Frank projects an immediale general fund deficit of $117.563 by the close of July business on Friday. aml said that the commissioners will like· ly be re4uired to request an advance on the second-half property tax set· t\ement. which will be available sometime in early August in order to pay July bills.

Commi~sioner Fred Hoffman acknowledged that the proposal would likely be unpopular, but abo said that the county wa' fac · ing un~xpected expeme:-. and no like· \y growth in the near future. "I won't be here next year, but I know that the county is going to need money in the coffers in order to pay for the landtill. the jail and to pay oil the'se loans," Hoffman said. "We've abo spent $45.0lXJ by keeping the county home open (beyond the March deadline) anJ $45.0(X) has gone: into th~ t..:ounty's insuram:t! fund .

Meeting in regular session. council authorized the Middleport Volunteer Fire Department to seek a 1.5mill permanent levy, which will generate $24.000 per year, for the pur· pose of replacing a 20 year-old fire truck and other equipment. Don Stivers and Jay Buskirk, representing the VFD, said that the cost of replacing the truck is estimated at between $300.000 and $325,000. The village currently receives proceeds from a one-mill levy to pay for the village's ladder truck. Proceeds from department fundraisers and !he proceeds from the sale of the existing Engine 12 would be used to offset the cost of the truck.

However, Council members Steve Houchins and Rae Gwiazdowski suggested !hal a levy proposal with a definite time structure. such as a IS-year levy be approved, 11ther than a continuing levy, saying !hat a permanent levy would be less likely to receive approval from the voters.
