The Dally Sentinel Tuesday, March 5, 1996 Pomeroy • Middleport, Ohio Minnie Pearl, Country Com.ed;ian, Dead at 83 . By JIM PATTERSON Auocl8ted Pre11 Wrtter NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Minnie Pearl, the country comedian known worldwide for her shrill "Howdyyyyy!" and wide-brimmed straw hat with its dangling $1.98 price tag, is dead at age 83. Miss Pearl died Monda)'._ night at Columbia Centennial Medical Center after a week of unconsciousness following a Feb. 25 stroke. Another stroke in 1991 had ended her performing career and left her partially . paralyzed. Her loud, cheerful "Howdyyyyy! . I'm just so proud to be here!" and her straw hat, toothy grin and calico and gingham dresses were her trademarks on more than a half century on · the Grand Ole Opry counll'y music MINNIE PEARL show 1111d 20 yean on the syndicated TV show "Hee Haw." · . . "There's a lot of tears in the nation tonight and certainly quite a few in Grinder's Switch," said Jerry Stroble, manager of the Grand Ole Opry. Miss Pearl laced her jokes with references to "Grinder's Switclt,'' a railroad switching station near her hometown of Cenierville, 50 miles southwest of Nashville. Miss Pearl also sang and played the piano but was best known for her humor, which focused on a longstanding search for a "feller." A typical quip: "Kissing a feller with a beard is like a picnic. You don't mind going through a little brush to get there." Her jokes were self-depreciating and sometimes a bit risque for fami- . ~ - . . ly entertainment. One of her favorites was about being accosted by a robber: "I said, 'But I haven't gof any money,' so he frisked me and said, 'Are you sure you Jin'tgotany money?' I said, 'No str, but if you'U do that again I'll write you a check,"' "Minnie Pearl" was a happy, hopeless character created from a composite of several women she had known early in her life. · In coniJ'ast to her stage role, Miss Pearl. whose real name was Sarah Ophelia Ca.nnon, was gracious, cultured and sensitive. She married Henry Cannon, her manager. in 1947 and the couple lived next door to the Tennessee governor's mansion in Nashville. They had no children. "For decades, Minnie was an J example to millions with her positive..sclf-deprecatina clean hu!Jior that made us laugh and stood the test of time 1" Gov. Don Sundquist said. "Tho entertainment industry has lost a greit talent. The world has lost a great friend." 'l lle youngest of five girls, Miss · Pearl studied drama in college, and later became an elegant community . leader and tireloss worker for charity in Nashville. She was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1975 and was voted Country Music Woman of the Year in 1966 by the Col!nlry Music Association. She was diagnosed with cancer in 1985 and underwent a double mastectomy. She recovered and continued to perform and do volunteer work ' the Americ.,. Cancer Society. with In 1987,.Miss Pearl received the American Cancer Society's Courage Award; in 1992, she was among 13 recipients of ll Natiailal Medal !>f Art. Looking back on her long cireer, she said in 1989, "R's like wedding anniversaries -it $CCIIIS fORver and it seems like no time at all. It seems ;hat I've a] ways been on the ()pry and that I've always been Minnie Pearl. " She wa5 the only female mem~.r of the Grand Ole Opry when. she joined in 1940. At lhe time, the weekly live radio show was the premier showcase for country music talent. "I never did care too much about: comedians, but she was one of the funniest women r ve ever known ," said "Jumping" Bill Carlisle, a friend and fellow performer on lhe Opry for over four decades.

By JEFF BARNARD Aaaocllled Preu Wr._, GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) - Pop quiz: When is the best time to release an orphaned bear cub in the wild to prevent unhappy returns? a) In the summer, when there are plenty of berries to eat. ·. b) In the winter, when there is nothing to eat. Answer: b) . In lhe winter. "The idea is o.nce they are released, lhey will hibernate, and when they wake up it will have been a good four to six months since they have seen a human,'' said John Thiebes. regional biologist for the ·oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. Back when bears were released in the summer, the results were awful. "They would immediate! y go down and find rural homes, raid the garbage cans and try to find forage," Thiebes said. In four years of releasing hears in the winter, Thiebes has seen only one flunk and get shot by a homeowner for raiding garbage. Thiebes oversaw the release this winter of four bear cubs raised by Wildlife linages, a ·wildlife rehabilitation center.

Bob Dole is wrapping himself in ll nominee's mantle, wearing his 8-0 Republican primary triumphs as a cloak of inevitability. His chief nemesis, Pat Buchanan, conceded today lhat Dole probably has the GOP nomination wrapped up, but promised to carry his message across the counter anyway. Publisher Steve Forbes also remained in the ·race, looking for Thursday's battle in New York state for 93 delegates to stop the Dole bandwagon. : Both Buchanan and Forbes were · Severely wounded by Dole's clean ~weep of Tuesday's eight primaries. · Buchanan was coy about whether he would support Dole under all cir¢umstances, avoiding answering lhe question directly. He told one interviewer today that Dole's nomination "appears inevitable," but told another, "I still think there's a very, very iong shot that Senator Dole could stumble badly." TwO' less l)ueatening Dole opponents, former Tennessee Gov. Lamar Alexander and Indiana Sen. Dick Lugar, finding no solace in Thesday's results, prepared to leave the race today. "It's over," Republican pollster Bob Teeter said, surveying Dole's sweep. Many party leaders agreed. Even though he acknowledged that Dole looks like the nominee, Buchanan continued his sharp attacks. "Bob Dole has no ideas," he ' said and charged that Dole won "ugly." He r.plled Dole's campaign · "hollow, an empty vessel." He said he would support the . Republican ticket but many of his supporters probably would not. "They certainly would not, as of this moment, given the character of lhe campaign Senator Dole has conducted with the ·attacks and the extremist nonsense, all the rest of it," he said. In a second interview, however, Buchanan was less certain that he would not boltto a third party if Dole is nominated. "I'm not saying I'm ruling anything like that in .... " be hedged. "I'm not saying what I'm going to do at all. I'm going to the Republican convenlion. I've always supported the nominee." Buchanan recalled recent history: Ross Perot's independent bid in 1992 •which won 19 percent of the nati()n:al vote, and, many observers think, assured President Clinton's election. "There's a huge broad mass of middle America that's unrepresented ... My view is these people are not going to go unrepresented forever,' ' he said. Perot this year is forming a third party, but hasn't said who its nominee might be. He and Buchanan see eye1 to-eye in their opposition to the North Atlantic Free Trade Agreemen~ which Buchanan blames for much of the economy's troubles. Publishing heir Forbes, the other troublesome rival for Dole, said he is in the race "for the duration." With the prize seemingly within grasp at last, Dole kept his emotions in close check at a Washington rally. . Continued on page 3 CLEAN SWEEP • GOP prealdential hopeful Sen.

"We want people to see !he condition of the building, everythinglhat · needs to be done, and hear about plans for its restoration and use." said Pat Holter, activity coordinator for the Chester Courthouse Restoration Committee. Those interested in taking a tour are invited to meet at the Chester fire. house anytime between 3 and 6 p.m. They will be taken in groups through the courthouse. Holter also asked that anyone with memorabilia to display for the day contact her in ad.vance or bring it with them. The county was recently awarded $46,000 in Appalachia Public Facility Grant monies for the projecl. Since that is only about half of what is needed to completely restore the building, several fund raising projects are being planned.

Death sentence recommended for Sanders CINCINNATI (AP)- A jury has the death penalty for the inmate accused of leading a deadly riot at Ohio's maximum-security prison. Carlos Sanders was convicted last month of aggravated murder for ordering the death of prison guard Robert Vallandingham. Vallandingham, 40, anil nine inmates were killed during the April 1993 riot at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility near Lucasville. Jurors deliberated for more than five hours Tuesday bef<lR di'Ciding that Sanders should be put to death for his part in Vallandingham~s murder. Vallandingham's parents were relieved. They had commuted to the r~commended trial every day from their home near Lucasville about 83 miles east of Cincinnati. "In my lifetime, I'll never see him go to the electric chair." Homer Vallandingham said. "But he will be locked down and won't be able to run around causing trouble." Jurors could have recommended a life sentence with either the possibility of parole in 34 years or 24 years. "I think they made the correct decision," Wanda Vallandingham said. Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Fred Cartolano set sentencing for today. When jurors annqunced they had reached a decision, Sanders was led into the courtroom under heavy guard and made eye contact with his sister. Catherine Sanders, 31. of Savannah, ·Ga., sat in the front row, on the opposite side of the aisle from Vallandingham's parents. Neither Sanders nor his sister showed any emotion when the jury recommendation was read. "It's a numb reaction," Ms. Sanders said after her brother was returned to his cell. "I never foresaw it coming to a death penalty." Pros.ecutors · said Sanders, who was serving a 10-to 25-year sentence for aggravated robbery in Cuyahoga County, planned and led the riot. In his closing statement, Prosecutor Gerald Krumpelbeck urged jurors to recommend death. Most of the food is being donated for the dinner. Modem Woodmen, Trinity Church, Broughton's Dairy and the Chester Garden Club are among those contributing food. Also. at the dinner, Holter said ,there will he a display of memorabilia and asked that those attending contribute by bringing things in for the evening. All of the proceeds from the dinner will go into the restoration of the courthouse. Chester has the distinction of having the oldest courthouse still standing in Ohio. It was built in 1823 on a knoll overlooking the village. The restoration will begin with replacement of the roof which now has large holes allowing birds and' other animals to enter the building. • But, according to Holter, the exteriOr walls will have to be reinforced before work can go forward on replacing the roof. She said that tentative plans cafl' for a "shake" roof, noting, however, . that whatever is done must conform~ witb specifications of the Ohio His-· torical Society, Mary Ann Reeves, Southeast Ohio coordinator. The first floor of the building· which many years ago was remodele4 will be restored to the way it was ·iii · the early 1820's, Holter said. The sec·ond floor is pretty much the same as' it was 170 years ago with its single room and large exposed beams. · The committee foresees the building being used in a variety of ways - a place for meetings, theater pre~ . sentations, and educational purposes as well as for ilisplaying historicaiartifacts, particularly those pertaining to the legal system.

WINGETT Publl•her CHARLENE HOEFLICH Oetiellll M8nlger MARGARET LEHEW Controller - What they are saying elsewhere around Ohio Excerpts of Ohio editorials of national and statewide interest: Akron Beacon Journal, Feb. 27 Gov. George Voinovich recently unearthed a revealing statistic. He dis.covered that less than I percent of all sl8te government forms are written in ·a language other than English. · · ' . You'd think that fact alone would be enough to persuade the Republican .majority in the state Senate that proposed legislation to require "English only" for state agencies is unnecessary. But it hasn't. · The bill has cleared committee and may soon reach the Senate floo.r. It already has pasSed the House. · . · 'The gQvernor has pledged to veto the legislation. Things need not proceed that far. As Voinovich explained in a Feb. 12 letter to Stanley Aronoff, the Senate president, Ohio hilsn 't experienced the problems of New York, .california, Florida and Texas. Demands havon't been made on tbe state to Pn>vi~e services and publications in other languages. · . . What's more, Voinovich argued thjtt the legislation is "divisive" and ·'.'sends the wrong message to those who are trying diligently to become ·'ISSimilated into the English language and Ohio culture." , The state should listen to the governor and direct iiS time and energy to the suite's real problems. , . . The Athens U.sunger, Feb. 27 . . :. Whenever Congress and the president conspire 10 save the American people froin moral degeneracy, watch out. As could be the case 'Yith the new .~ V-cbip"law, they just may end up maklng things worse. . , · The recently enacted "V-chip"law requires TV makers to equip their seiS · with devices that can decipher electronic ratings signals and block programs people don't want coming into their hollles. A consequence of the chips and the ratings system, however, could be that some shows will become more violent and sexy. Broadcasters will have a ready argument-for those whO criticize increased helpings of "adult" fare, namely that parents have the electronic means to protect their children. That sort of excuse enabled the movie industry .to go absolutely wild, · . The · pique of Congress and the president is understandable. But this sehcme could have resuiiS contrary to what they seek. PHOENIX - It's bad news when America's prisoners have easier and cheaper access to the courts than most taxpayers. Few states have recognized that quicker than Arizona, and none have curtailed more effectively through legislation the rising trend of frivolous prisoner lawsuits than Arizona. "It's a big national problem," ' Arizona Attorney General Grant Woods told our associate Dale Van Atta. "Every state's attorney generat's office faces the problem. What's unique about Arizona is that we were the first state to do something about it." . . In fact, one out of every four lawsui IS in fe4eral court is filed by a prisoner, not a law-abiding citizen. · But what really got the blood of Arizona citizens and lawmakers boiling were stories like this one: Thirteen-year-old news carrier Christy Fornoff, the second youngest of seven children in the 1\evoutly Catholi!= family of Roger Fornoff, was collecting for the Phoeni~ Gazette at a Tempe apartmen! complex • one Wednesday evening. Her mother, Carol, came along because she didn't want her daughter alone in the dark. She waited patiently outside the ll6-unit Rock Point ApartmeniS, two blocks from the.ir home, while Christy knocked on apartment doors to make her collections. Christy never returned. Her body was found . two days later, wrapped in a sheet and stuffed behind an apartment dumpster. She had been raped and suffocated. The .man who .found her body, Donald Beaty, 29, the live-in apartment maintenance mari, soon beciiJ!Ie a suspect. The police were badly mistaken, Beaty assured reporters. He attended Christy's funeral, expres·sed sympathy to her pareniS, signed the mourners book. When apartment managers asked him to leave, he received letters of sympathy from tenaniS. Some residents even threatened to move unless he '\VIS reinstated. But tl)e evidence mounted against him, and he was arrested. · .Beaty was convicted by a sevenman, five-woman Phoenix jury; which deliberated for less thai\ two hours. 'The evidence was compelling: hair and semen samples on Christy's body and the sheet matched Beaty. Dried vomit around her mouth matched · remnants found in Beaty's closet, where Christy had t~rown up iluring or after being raped. He kept her body in the closet for twd dtiys before stuffing it behind the dul!lpSter. Beaty never confessed, except in an offhand mannerto a jail psychianist after a group session. That testimony, allowed in Arizona child abuse cases, 'cinched the conviction. During the pn:i-sentincing -hearing, Beaty's ex-wife and others gave additional testimony about his depraved past. He had a string of eight previous felony convictions involving thefiS and burglaries, and had' already been ftred from other jobs in Phoenix for acting inappropriately around young girls. Superior Court Judge Rufus C. Coulter Jr. sentenced him to death by lethal gas. Bl:aty continues to appeal his 1984 conviction from a jail cell at Arizona · State Prison at f;11orenee. But that was not his only court action. He also sued the Arizona prison system in federal , court for subjecting him to "cruel and unusual punishment," which is · banned by the Eighth Amendment. What was cruel and unusual? "He sued the state because he wasn't allowed to use ·his Game Boy (video game) on death row!'' says Attorney General Woods. He recited several other equally outrageous · cases, including one involving a prisoner who ordered an acetylene blowtorch "and sued us because we wouldn't deliver it. That's pretty amazing .. li~e we're going to give him a blowtorch!" The lawsuits, of course, cost the taxpayers mo~ey and clog· up the couriS. As a result, more legitimate lawsuiiS often must wait' months, or even yean, to be heard. The Arizona solution, spearheaded by Woods, was to pass legislation aimed at curtailing the suits: . First, a prisoner can only suo if he can show physical injury -- not merely the "mental distress" thai is the cause of countless prison lawsuits. Second, prisoners must pay a Iiiing fee like otl)er citizens. In the past, fees were waived by claiming they were paupers and couldn't afford it: now, their cigarette money and minimal salary earned in prison can be attached for fees . Third. if a judge finds the prisoner lawsuit is frivolous, the prisoner may lose good time crediiS, which can allow for early release. Thus, a prisoner can &lid time to his sentence by deliberately abusing the . court system. Finally, the new law holds that ·any amount of . money a prisoner recovers through ·Jitiga_tion can .be offset by .the cost of his mcarceralion. . Woods takes pains to point out that the law isn't designed to cut off reasonable access to the courts. ··out we also don't. want to allow them to ruin the process for everybody .else," he says.

In · your last column, you explained why vitamins and mineral supplements wouldn't help. Isn't ther.e anything I - can do to help my eyes? Do I just : need to give up and wear glasses? Answer: Since you haven't need· : ed glasses before now, and your eye :doctor said that everyone develops :this type of trouble, it is likely that ·you are suffering from a condition . :called presbyopia, or in plain English :"old eyes.'' You see, the human body ·was only designed to work well for :about 40 years. Upon moving into the · :fourth decad~, most body systems . ·lose some of their previous youlhful . ·effectiveness. The hair thins and . :turns gray, joints "creak," and it :becomes difficult to see objects up · ;close. Let me explain a bit about the · way the eye works to help you 'understand why close objects become · difficult to see while distant ones · remain in sharp focus. I'm sure that you remember from . .health class that the eye works much. ,like a camera. One of these simi lari· : ties is the focusing system that uti. lizes two eye structures -· the cornea · and the lens. The cornea is the slightly curved, transparent outer layer of the eye through which we see. It actu- , ally . serves as the primary or "strongest" lens. The structur-e called the "lens" is located deeper withln !be eye, and its conuibution is that it is adjustable in its strength. Our eye's two-element, fully aU,Iomatic focusing system operates much like my new computeri:zed 35mm camera. But unlike my camera, you can't hear the eye adjust its lens. As in most cameras, only one lens moves or adjusts. While the cornea dOesn't adjust, muscles within !be eye pull on the lens in a way that causes it to become a more powerful mag- ' nifying glass when somethlng close · is viewed. The muscles relu to let distant objects be in sharp focus. This · process happens so rapidly and accurately that one rarely notices it·- until it stops working properly. An image is focused on the retina in the back of your eye just as_ pictur-e image is focused on your camera's film. Close objects require a different fpcus than do distant objects. In their fourth decade most people start holding the newspaper a little farther away and often using brighter light to read by. Ultimately. just as you eventually will, he or she acqui· . esces to wearing reading glasses. unhygienic. My boyfriend, who is a waiter, says he brings extra forks to save a second Dip. He claims it's also a good way to sell more desserts. The assumption is that when people sample YOUR dessert, they will order one of their own. I' ve never seen it work that way. They just eat more of yours. I lind nothing more annoying than a server who encourages albers to eat part of my dessert. I ordered it, I'm paying for it, and I'd like to eat it myself.

Of course. we will overlook the fact . that Coleridge died some 60 years be. fore bridge was devised. However, It Is true that most who complain about bad luck are poor players. Take loday's deal as an example. After winning the first trick with the i spade ace, South drew trumpa ending .. in the dummy. Next, he ruffed the ' spade seven in hand, cashed the dia, · mond ace, played a club to dummy's : king and caUed for a diamo·nd. Even though East's spade discard .. was disagreeable, South wasn't unduly perturbed._Ulving a second string · to his bow, South won with the diamond king and played a club lo dum. my's jack. However, East won with the queen and returned a club, leaving . South with an unavoidable diamond loser: one down. "What could I do?" wailed South . . "Both minor-suit finesses were wrong · and the diamonds split H ." "Don't blame the fates, as you were · luclty the trumps split ~-2," commented North. "If only you had sufficient sagacity, after winning trick seven with the diamond king, you would have led a .club to dummy's eight. East wins with. the 10 and does what?" "Yes, I see, • lllid South penetratingly. "Whether be returns· a club Into ..., dummy's king-jack or concedes a rull· and-discard, both my diamond losers go away.

By MIKE HUGHES Gannett Newa Service So you think you have trouble with political correctness? Just imagine being a school kid in Russia. Tbe questions remained the same, Raben Kenner says, but the answeis changed. "In 1991, all of the history exams were cancelled," Kenner says. " People no longer knew what the answers were." That's what draws interest in "Russia's Last Tsar." Tbe film (8 p.m. Eastern Wednesday on NBC) JIM AADCUFF 'Employee of month :named . . · Tri-Coumy Community Action; Agency's Head Start Program has ·named Jim Radcliff employee of the' .. month for February. ~· · • Rlldcliff has six year's experienc · with the Head Start Program. H · graduated fro1'! high school in 1951. .and retired from the Columbus Post 'Office in 1987. He also was a bus . . · instructor for four years through the: . ·State Department of Education. He lives in Coolville. He has two ,sons, Jamie, and Terry, who both· · ·reside in Florida, and eight grand• ·children. · captures a period of history that once was buried. " It basically just disappeared," Kenner says. Remarkably, the buildings themselves remained. Russia took pride in its grand palaces - even if it hated the values they represented. " I couldn 'I understand how the · soldiers (in World War U) could do that," Kenner says. "Tbey gave their lives, to preserve those palaces." Afterward, Russians spent a fortune renovating the buildings. Still, the stories of what happened inside was swept away. "The vast majOrity of stuff just disappeared into the warehouses," Kenner says. " History - both good and·bad - vanished." The buildings surVived, Kenner says, because they perfectly reflected the Russian an form. "They are in the grand and big tradition." Look at much of Russian an from choral and orchestral pieces to paintings - and you 'II see an epic size and scope. That's the same appro.ach Peter the Great took, in planning the grand buildings of St. Petersburg'. A big man himself (at 6foot-8), he designed epic bu.ildings. Those buildings may have represented exllimes of a dictatorial soci· . ety, but even the new Communist government found ways . to keep them alive. "You know what they did with the cathedral, don't you?" Kenner says. "They turned il into the Museum of 1Atheism." I Another question lingers: What iwas life like for the people inside? ! With the help of a top Russian scholar, Kenner saw his opportunity. l In '91, when the Soviet Union war:• 'splitting asunder,· those warehouses ·" became available. !~ This was a hectic time, when •; prices could soar or crumble. ::\i When Kenner asked about the cost;1 of ·renting a VCR, a Russian cle~"; 1 ·said that would cost Sl ,000. ~ "{asked her if that was 1.000 dol-> Iars or 1.000 rubles," he says. "Sbe ~! said she dido 't know and she'd have '': to find out. ·.;;: " It turned out to be I ,000 rubles, • which is about a dollar.

Zuckefman, declined to commtnt. Bailey, 62, was housed in an individual cell for a screening period all inmates go through to determine if ·they pose a threat to -:- or are in danger from - othe~ in'!lates, prison spokesman Tony Kelly said. · · After that period, which can last several days, he will be moved to one of the facility's regular two-man cells, Kelly said. U.S. District Judge Maurice Paul had · given Bailey until 5 p.m. Wednesday to come up with $2.3 million needed to get the disputed stock released by a Swiss bank or begin serving the sentence for contempt. The 4b0,000 shares of stock in Biochem Phanna, a Canadian company, once belonged to Claude Duboc, a drug dealer Bailey represented. . It is being held by Credit Suisse, which won 't release it unless Bailey . pays off a lien he took out on the stock. Duboc, who pleaded guilty to drug charges in 1994 and awaits sentencing, fired Bailey last month. Bailey, whose clients have included the Boston Strangler, Patty tlearst and Dr. Sam Sheppard, contends the assets were for his fee and expenses. Pr;osecutors claim that most of the money belongs to the government because the drug dealer forfeited his assets as pan of a plea bargain . The judge had demanded that Bailey tum over the stock while the question of ownership is decided . Bailey had pleaded with a federal appeals court in Atlanta for more · time, insisting he had a made a goodfaith effort to come up with the money. • But on Tuesday, the court turned- . him down. Appeals Judge Ed Carnes said ilailey had been "clutching . clawing and scraping" to keep the assets.' Paul hasn't said what will happen if Bailey doesn't produce the stock by the end of the six-month tenn.

"We've already won a moral victory in New York by simply getting on the ball.ot." Today's voting will select 93 o( New York's 102 delegates to the Republican National Convention in August. Three delegates are directly elected in each of the 31 congressional dis\ficts. Nine at-large delegates will be chosen at the state party convention in June. The ballots feature the names of the delegates themselves in larger letters above the name of the candidate they are supporting, giving Dole another advantage. His delegates tend to be prominent local Republicans, including members of Congress and state legislators. ·As voters went to the polls, surveys gave Dole a strong lead over Forbes and Buchanan. But the latest survey showed the ~nate majority leader and Buchanan slipping and Forbes gaining. A new New York Post/Fox 5 tracking poll showed Dole's suppon . shrinking from 48 percent to 46 per•cent, while Forbes ' jumped from 19 percent to 24 percent. Buchanan lost ·ground from 15 percent to less than 14 percent in the poll of 439 likely voters conducted Tuesday and Tbe poll's margin of error is 5' percentage points. '· Dole, who captured eight state primaries on TueSijay and led the field with 290 delegates to Forbes' 72 ahd Buchanan's 62, had ihe strong backing of the state's GOP establishment, including Gov. George Pataki and Sen . Alfonse D' Amato. "He's going to have a very substantial win in New · York," predicted D' Amato, one of Dole's campaign co-chairmen. Forbes, a 48-year-old multimillionaire, was seeking to make inroads into Dole's support with $1 million worth of television advenising in key Republican areas.

(AP) Jobless claims up 6,000 WASHINGTON (AP) - The numbe~ of first-tim e claims (or job- less benefits rose by 6,000 last week, rebounding from a sharp decline caused by a shorter filing period due to the President 's Day holiday. The Labor Department said today that new applicati ons for ~nemploy­ ment insurance totaled a seasonally adjusted 363,000, up from a revised 357,000 during the week ended Feb. 24. The increase was smaller than many analysts had e•pected. . The 25,000 drop during the Feb. '24 week was even steeper than the department 's 23,000 initial estimate. The rebound last week boosted claims to the highest level since they totaled 382,000 during tbe week ended Feb. 17. . Many newly laid-off workers did not file in the Feb. 24 period beca~e of the shortened workweek, analysts said. Analysts expect a huge jump in new jobs in the department's February employment repon to be released Friday but said it would be related to weather rather than any significant improvement in the labor market. Tbey contend the expected gain of 300.000 jobs or more merely would be a rebound from the 201,000 payroll loss in January when winier storms forced many businesses 10 close and temporarily lay off employees. Economists said a more accurate reading on the labor market would be to average the figure s for boih months, which they maintain would reflect sluggish job creation.

About 5,000 motorists whose cars .failed ~first or second exhaust tests are due $!9.50 for each test for which they paid. The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency recently learned that the fee rules in the contract between the agency and its test contracton did not comply with state law. The number of refunds is limited because people who paid for a failed test .then returned and passed essen, tially paid the cOrrect fee . "' The problem came to light at a recent public hearing in Stow, where a disgruntled citizen who had paid the fee but failed the test read the law-to EPA officials. " A citizen had a copy of ibe 9ftio Revised Code and read it out loud.
