Kirby, prior to his declaration of intent to be a write-in candidate, had filed nomination petitions, with GCBOE, to beco.me candidate for trustee in Springfield Township. Minutes of GCBOE regular meeting of August 22, 1997, reads: "Upon motion by (George) Pope, second by Mrs. (Connie) Hemphill with all voting "Yes", tlie board moved to find the petition of Frank Kirby invalid because of Section 3501.38 of Ohio Revised Code which states that a person knowingly allowed someone to sign another person's name to his petilion." . Pope is also chairman of Gallia County Republican Executive Committee (0\airman of Gallia County Republican Party) and a resident of Springfield Township. Based upon this decision by the GCJ39E, one ca,ndidacy petition of Kirby, which contained thirteen signatures, was disallowed, thereby invali·dating Kirby's candidacy due to lack of signatures. Section of Ohio Revise!,! Code used by GCBOE for disallowing Kirby's candidacy petition reads: "If a circulator knowingly permits an unqualified person to sign a petition paper or permits a person to write a name other that his/her own on a petition paper, that entire part-petition is invalid. Otherwise, the signature of the unqualified signer shall be rejected but shall not cause the other valid si~atures on the petition paper to be invalidated." Kirby allows that he did nqt knowingly permit a person to write a name other than his/her own on a petition paper. • At a regular meeting of GCBOE on November 17, 1998; BOE member Popewas recorded. as saying he was sure that Kirby had not knowingly permitted an unqualified signature on one of his candidacy petitions. Apparently Pope has done a complete flip-flop since his August 22, 1997, · motion to disallow Kirby's candidacy petition. In future letters we plan to describe other public records related to this incident. One of these letters will be concerning over seventy notarized tiffidavitsofregisteredvotersinSpringfieldTownship.

AUSTIN, Texas- The first telescope images· of dust rings around distant stars reveal powerful new evidence of planets formed beyond the solat system, astronomers said Friday. Pictures from the Hubble Space Telescope of two distant slats show dust rings that may have been gravitationally sculpted by planets. astronomers said at the national meeting of the American Astronomicaf Society. ' The stars, identified as HR 4796A and HD 141 569, are both aboui 300 light years from Earth. Each is twice the size of the sun, but much brighter and much younger at about I 0 million years old. And, surrounding each stat like immense hula hoops are discs of dust that appear to have been shaped by planets in the same way that the been inferred," said Smith. ,;-This ts the first time we have actually seen a circum5tellar disk. It came as a really big surprise. "When we saw it, we said, 'Wow, that looks like Saturn,"' he said. The formation of such rings is part of the process that builds a structure like our solar system. The proctss starts when dust and gas come together to hegin forming a star. Some of the material also clumps together to form planets. When the star becomes big enough, its nuclear fires are tgnited. The outflow from the star blows away the remaining dust and gas, leaving behind the planets and some orbiting boulders called plantisimals. The boulders collide and grind each other up, creating the dust. If there are no planets orbtting the star, the du~ will disperse. But the presence of planets gives the dust a gravitational kick that >'1/aJles it into a disk. , In the solar system, whicll is about four billion · y'ears old, only a faint dust ring remain s. Around HD 141569, the disk is 75 billion miles across, nnging an area much larger than the enttre solar system. The gap m the disk is prominent, occupying about five percent of the entire ring. The ring is about 21 billion miles from the star. The ring around HR 4796A is about .! .5 billion miles from its star. The ring is about 13 billion miles in diameter and about I .6 billion miles thick. ' • Images of the rings were captured by a special camera on Hubble .that allows photos of the area around a slar while blocking the bri ght, obscuring light from it s ce nter. Smith said the rings are extremely faint: Detectmg them is ltke trying to look ai a dime from four miles away.

As top executives res.igned from , Salt Lake's Organizing· Committee · amid. investigations into how low city boosters stooped to win the 2tJ02 Winter Games, blame is being fixed on two men: Tom Welch and David Johnson. • But. where was the board they reported to and how much did its members know? Those are the questions facing this city reeling from ·the bribery . ·scandal and bracing for more revela'tions by four separate investigations in Salt Lake; Washington and Lausanne, Switzerland. Johnson, the senior vice president for the committee organizing the Gall)es and the point man in wooing International Olympic Committee members during the city:s bid, was. forced to resign Friday. Welch, who resigned in 1997 after spousal abuse charges, has been stripped qf his $1 0,000-a-month consulting contract · and $500,090 pension. He was at the helm of Salt Lake's quest for the Games for a decade , inc.luding the years leading up to the 1995 IOC vote giving Salt Lake the Winter Games. His successor as chief executive of the organizing committee, Frank Joklik, resigned Friday after reveal- · ing that investigators had found boosters gave IOC members expensive gifts and cash payments of up to $70,000; paid educational, travel , housing and medical costs of IOC members and their families; and lent help to an IOC member in making a land investment. The possibility that prostitutes were hired for IOC member-s also is under inve$tigaiion, Gov. · Mike Leavitt said Friday. ' · : Joklik said he knew npthing of the corruption, and Leavitt said his departure was a self-sacrifice so the Games - j ust three years away -':can have a fresh start. Yet some wonder: Where were Joklik - the volunteer chairman of the bid committee while he was the chief executive of Kennecott Copper Co. - and Utah's other business luminaries who served on the · bid effort bOard? In . the dark, . claims the Republican governor. " No one ·on this board knew what was going on,'' Leavitt said. They were victims of a "systeinatic coverup" orchestrated by a sn\all group handling the cash, he said. "We were cteceived. We were lied to," said banker Spencer Eccles, who raised millions for the bid and a meniber of SLOC's executive cominittee. ''I'm sick at heart." The bid committee board's purpose was to oversee' a small staff focused on showcasing Salt Lake, its snow and sports facilities to the Oiympic community. While employees wooed IOC members, board members focused on raising money from friends and corporations for the bid effort. After Salt La)(e won , the bid committee formed the nucleus for the larger organizing committee. A longtime critic of the Sah Lake Olympic~. local health care finance consultant Stephen C. Pace. doesn't buy that board members were victims. ·. "The board has acted like a room full of cockroaches when you snap on the light. They have just run for cover,'' Pace said . "The board's only defense to bei ng chiuged with being corrupt is, :No, we're not corrupt, we ' re incom , petent,"' he said. "Given thai that 's their best answer, I think they've all gotta go." That appears unlikely. Robert Garff, ~hairman of the . organizing committee, said the future of some board members "will · be part of the discussion" once: .

" . Keri Chaconas wan.ted to get married in the sptlng to a~oid a conflict with the Washington Mystics' training carop. Now, she' ll . be worried .about 1\eeping her job when she returns from her honeymoon. Chaconas, ·a three-point specialist for the WNBA's Mystics who start~ jusi one game last season, ls uncer· tain about her future after the collapse of the rival American BasketbaM League three days before Christmas. Like many marginal WNBA players, Chaconas fears arr influx of the ABL's best players will push her off the roster of a team that went 3-27 last year and is desperate for more talent. "There are a lot of players out t~ere to choose from," she said. "lt"s going to be m~ch tougher to land a spot on a team. The WNBA is the only option ·now." Jennifer Rizzotti is one of those ABL stars who plan to seek work.in the WNBA. The point guard for the New ·England Blizzard talked with the league last season ' before signing a three-year contract extension with the Blizzard. '' I know from talking with the WNBA thai it's certainly not a bad option, and I definitely want to be part of it," said Rizzotti. who's also getting married but may have to postpone the we~ding, planned for July. "Everyone around women's basketball has always s~d the best thing is one league. Hppefully, we can have one that's very successful." The ABL, a fall-winter league tha'to debuted in 1996 about eight tnonths before the WNBA, went bankrupt Dec. 22 and suspended the rest of its 1998 ~99 season . Players on its nine teams· were·told to expect only part of their December paychecks. " It 's disappointing, being a woman and an athlete," Chaconas said. "That was a great opportunity, there were two leagues for women to show their skil,ls." The WNBA, which plays from June to August, already had planned to expand to 12 teams, with .new franchises in Minnesota and Orlando, Fla., this year. WNBA officials say it's too early to specu late on whether the ABL's demise will 'lead to more expansion. The shutdown of the ABL c'ame during the NBA lockout. So, officials at the WNBA and at the· NBA Players' Association, which also represents WNBA players, have not had much time to fu)ly consider how the ABL's demise will affect them. Among the questions that may have to be considered ·are whe!her the WNBA should· hold a supplemental draft of ABL players, and whether the WNBA will limit the number of ABL players on its rosters. "It is still premature to have definitive answers in . regard to the ABL players and their assimilation into the WNBA," said. WNBA spokesman Mark Pray. Coach Brian Agler, who is moving from the ABL's Columbus Quest to the WNBA's team in Minnesota, said he has talked to l)is former players about their future and co uld reunite with some of them on his new team. Katie Smith, the Quest's most popular player, has said she will look into joining the WNBA after glaying with the U.S. natiOnal team this summer. . "I don ' t know how the WNBA is going to plan for{ mation of its expansio n teams, so it would be premature · to speculate too much," Agler said. "With a flood of · players available, I don't know how, they will be dis- : : bursed." Frank Layden, coach of the Utah Starzz, said the dis, . · appearance of the ABL will leal' to changes in the survivi~g league. . . . "Initially, it will niean that the caliber of player is better and that it will be tougher to make a WNBAteam, Training camps will be very competitive, no doubt about it," he said. "But the WNBI\ appears to be adding a cou- , pie of new teams each year, so eventwlll):J_here will be: . · more professional jobs playing basketball for women in ; ; the United States ." · Layden would like to see another league form, per- : ·haps a notch below the WNBA in talent. "The more opponunities the women have to play, the · • better the talent will be," he said. "That's why I hope ~ there can be a CBA-type league formed for women who :' aren't ready for the WNBA.

For the second time in three years the Buckeyes were the bridesmaid and not the bride. The cost of eight terrible minutes of football placed them second in the national polls. But as Mark Bapst told me, "I'll lake 11 and one any year." Tennessee did the BCS committee a favor by defeating Florida State. I ..Aimagined there was a huge sigh of relief when the final horn sounded. Imagine the controversy if the Seminoles had won by a single point. Naturally, the committee can't"hide the fact lhat its playoff sy.stem is less than perfect. Yes, the Volunteers are the undefeated National Champions. But Tulane is also undefeated and there are three other schools. which believe they could ha,Ve beaten Tennessee if given the chance. One of these teams is in Columbus. · • For all those expet:ls wlio underestimated the Big_Jen this. year, please explain how this conference was 5-0 in bowl game:/\ Purdue, Michigan, Ohio State, Wisconsin and Penn State dominated .December. The Big Ten :should be the premier conference in 1999. · The NFL wild card games last week were also exciting. La:st Sunday pro:duced two exceptional games which weren't decided until the final seconds. :The Flutie fumble and the Young touchdown pass were both memorable :moments. But I still can't. figure out what happened to the Cowboys. The real winner last week was lhe Minnesota Vikings. Even th9ugh they :are playing at home for the entire playoffs, it's a lot easief to be facing the ;Arizona Cardinals in your fist game than the 49ers. No disrespect to the Car·dinals, but it's as if they will be having a second bye week. : 1 really like the Jets in the AFC. I know Dan Reeves deserves .the coach .of the year award, but what Bill Parcells has done in New York is nothing short of a miracle. He can coach my team anytime. h h h : 1'wG years ago this franchise won only two games. ·Now I ey ave t e :second best record .in the conference, and come from a division which pro·duced four playoff teams. I still can't figure out how they lost to the Colts. :In fact, three of their four losses were to teams they-should have easily beat:en, · !received numerous phone calls last Wednesday following the a_nnouncement that the NBA lockout was over. I consider it~ gift for Orthodox Christ:mas. I called mY friends at the Pacers' office in Indianapolis to check on the schedule and the availability of tickers I ordered for the Lakers on March ' 14th. The conversation was positive, but any decision on the 52 game schedule had to wait until the contract was ratified by the owners. · This lockout should have never occurred. Had the egos of Billy Hunter . and David Stem been kept in check, the season would have slarted on time. . Whe~ teams are not playing and negotiators go on vacation because "they have nothing to discuss," they are not doing their jobs. Hunter and Stern· should have sat down and hammered out a deal last July. For all those fans who want to boycott the season, pleased!) so there will be more tickets for me. Fans better start accepting the fact that strikes and ·lockouts are now a part of the sports world. We will have to live with it. · At least the NBA was smart enough not to cancel the post-season like baseball did in 1994. Many NBA fans don't get excited about basketball until the playoffs. They don't cart: if there is a 52 or an 82 game season. Saving the playoffs was important for the NBA and all' its fans. ··Sam wtlaon, Ph.D. 11., aiiiOClete prafueor of hlatory at the Unlv1re1ty of Rio Grande.

Szczerbiak came alive in the second half when he blocked a shot and came up with a basket and foul for a three-point play to give Miami a 4226 lead with 16:06 to play. A Szczerbiak leaner from the foul . line and another three-point play made it 53-32. He followed his own miss for a 65-38 with eight minutes left.

But 11ntil it pans out, Fishman and the National Ov~~n Cancer Coalition offer w:omen liratective advice:' :, -Talk with your doctor to --discover your personal risk. Fanilly medical history is key - look not just for relatives with ovarian cancer, but clustefs of breast, co lo~ ~r prostate cancers. Your own med!cal history plays, a rote. Breast catu;er survivors, for example, have a fourfold higher risk of geveloping ov~­ an cancer. -Get a rectovaginal exam ev10ry year, where tbe doctor inserts, fingers inside the pelvis to feel whether ovaries are enlarged or tender. Relax so the doctor can reach deep enollXh, . and pay attention to how thorc)ugh the exam is. "Expect it to be uncomfortable," said coalition founder Gail Hayward ; who has battled ovarian can· cer for nine years. "You want it to be, because you want to know that physician is probing deep .down into that cavity where the ovaries caO: be palpitated." • ·Large women whose ovaries cannot be .reached manually, high-risk women or those with symptom~. can get a transvaginal ultrasound, a painless test done by inserting a small probe into the vagina. Wo~eo with symptoms also often g~t a blood test called CA 125. but it is )lOt reliable enough for a definitive di,a gnosis . . . , -Consider birth control pills, which cut ovarian cancer risk ut) to 60 percent in women who use them for five years. Childbearing ancl breast-feeding also reduce the risk. The more times a woman ovulates dunng her Jife- · time. the more chances there are; to trigger ovarian cancer.

WASHINGTON - Arthritis suffers have good news in their battle with pain and swelling , a new drug is hitting store shelves later on this • month . Millions of Americans people cope with the pain and s welling caused by arthritis. The new drug, Celebrex; promises relief without many of the gastrointestinal side effects caused by. current medkatio ns. Celebrex, approved by the Food and Drug Admini strati on is aimed at the 18 million with osteoarthritis and rh e ~matoid arthritis , and maker G.A. Searle says it can be used as a first-line treatment for anyone with either of those forms of arthritis. It is widely seen as a threat to the existing $14 billion market for anti -arthritis drugs. Searle officials reported the drug would be avai lable through pharmacies by the end of January, and that they plann ed to se nd special kits to doctors with a 30-day supply for patients interested in checking it out. Celebrex is prescription-only. , · A "su bstantial " advertising campaign is pl an ned , sa id Searle chief operating officer AI Heller, although he would nor say if that included direct-to-consumer advertisi ng. . Yet, despite studies show ing the rate or severe gastrointestinal side effec ts- stomach bleeding or perforat ions , 1s far lower than many exiS ting nonsteroidal anti-i nfl ammatory drugs (NSA!Ds ), Ce lebrex must also carry a warnin g of gastrointesti nal (GI) side effe cts on its label. "For a stand ard nonsteroidal , you expect 2 perc en t to 4 percent of pati en ts to get a 01 compli cation such as bleeding o; perforati? n," Heller sai d Monday. " Our rate is 0.04 percent . Th at s a s rgnrftcanr reduction." The drug ·is expected to cosr abour $70 for a 30-day supply, but it . remains to be see n how many managed, care orgam 7.atwns add 1t to therr li st of covered medi cat ions.

That subtlety is why it is so deadly. .Ovarian cancer is not a disease that gets lots of attention no marches or TV ads or "gel tested" campaigns. Few women know it is the most lethal type of reproductive cancer. Few even can name the symptoms, so insidious that women may pass 'off the problem as indigestion until it is too late. But there are ways women can protect themselves - and new discoveries are giving cancer researchers and doctors fresh hope of finding better treatments, or even a test that might catch budding tumors. Some 27,000 American .women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer thi's year, and 14,500 will die. · .While it mosily strikes women over 40, it can hit 20- and "30-somethings, too. Roughly 40 percent of ovarian cancer patients survive five years. • Ovarian cancer usually is detected only after it has spread out of the ttiroughout the ovaries and abdomen, making it much harder to treat. · Symptoms are subtle - just "whispers, " Dr. Gordon Mills of M.D. Anderson Cancer · Center in Houston calls them: mild pelvic or abdominal pain; abdominal bloating; .gas, nausea or similar stomach complaints that persist over a week; fatigue: increased urination or changes in bowel habits. While women can get mammOgrams to spot early breast cancer or Pap smears to catch cervical cancer, there is no s.creening test .for early detection of ovari.~n cancer. Dr. David Fishman of Northwest-/ ern University is out to change that. He heads a research team that has created a small device ·to let doctors pluck a few cells from a woman's ovary and evaluate them for early cancer - much like a Pap smear tests cervical cells for cervical cancer. ..UIIbv II!aue-Jimt!net • Page C3 The Holzer Heahh Hotline can he.lp, allay some of your fears as we begin the New Year.

II was in the bitter bleakness of a January when the messy house and .e ndless clut\er start- . ed to smother me. The first step was to educate myself. Off to Walden Bookstore to purchase books on dejunking. An hour and 23 minutes later I walked out with four books on the subject, plus two Boxcar Children books, a coffee tab le book on horses, three calenders, a clip o n reading light and a People magazine. Toml cost - $78. 72 Next stop was to a discount store to purchase storage bi ns, under the bed boxes, accordion files, labels and filing boxes. Total cost • $93.54. Of course, if my house were clutier free, it would be an excellent time to clea~ . A clean house in January would 'mean I was ready to enjoy in warm <lays that might pay a surprise visit . So, off to the drug store for cleaning supplies . New mops, brooms and pastel sponges would make cleaning more fun. Therefore I wo uld clean more- and I would be happy. I even bought a toothbrosh to scrub the grout lines. I had been told women did such things- perhaps I would too. Total cost - $39.17. Next stop Lazarus. Up to the Claire Burke home fragra nce department. It wasn't enough that my home would be clutter free and clean - it had to smell like 'somethin g'. I select the Nantucket and Savannah Gardens fragrance. I purchased perfumed drawer liner, fragrance rings for every lamp in the house, .-arpet powder and room spray. Total cost - $117.12 , o n my charge. Armed with my favori te objec t on earth • bl ack trash bags · I started on the play room. I threw away one wheel cars, fas t food meal toys and odd game pieces. I attacked my weakness- books . I bought my boys nearly every Little Golden Book published. Suddenly the boys are sitting on my lap and we are reading them again. I remember each book and how they would "read" w ith me. I start to cry. Mothers do that a lot when they hold childhood treasures. Perhaps the playroom could remain as it was. The kitchen was a good place to de · clutter. Every kitchen has a junk drawer - mine had entire cabinets. The worst one was the gadget cabinet. Every C hri stmas, I would give my cooking enthusiast husband something from a wonderful little shop called the Upstairs Room. ll ,was a lea room where ladies played bridge after lunching on petite servings of chicken salad. Upstairs, gourmet cooking supplies and novel decorati ng items . were displayed in room selling s. The shop offered 'cooking classes' featuring chefs flown in from places like Atlanta. My friends and I would dress· up and don our best pearls, so we could sit in fragile party chairs, sipping white wine and watch tpe chef create elegantdishes. That was cooking class, and the reason we had such things as croissant cullers, fluted butter molds and rice paper napkins too delicate 1.0 ever touch human lips. Unsure of what to throw a~¥ay, I pondered what the future. Someday, we might make our ov.:n croissants and serve them with rose embossed butter pals. We might have time to serve tea in bone china pots before pouring it into cups, with saucers. And, there would be time to dab our lips ever so gently with the napkins. I closed the cabinet door with sadness fighting hope. My cleaning endeavor netted only four trash bags . I don't remember a lot of important things being thrown out. I had other simplifying tries throughout the years. Nothing worked until I was faced with moving my sons here and paying for two full size moving. vans. At tbe staggering moving cost of nearly $1 a pound, dejunking was easy. · Still, I struggle with emotional attachments to things. I'm afraid my sons ~iH be disappointed if I've thrown out a headless G.I. Joe or their first pair of baby tennis shoes. Yet, I'm reminded of a woman in her 60s who was left with the sad task of closing her late mother's house. Through tears, she remarked, "You know, she made this very easy - she had just enough materi al · things that while she lived well, she also lived simply." If only we could all leave such a gift.

' Whiteley's retirement brings to a c!ose a long; productive, sometimes . bittersweet chapter of his life, yet his story continues as he looks ahead . -Dan Whiteley, the son of Dr. Horace W. Whiteley, M .D., who passed away in .l971 , was a product . 9f a time when doctors were viewed in a much different light than they are today, and he observed his father conduct his practice from hi s office from their family ho"me. Dan 's father treated any who needed help, both in his home office and where ever they happened to be, and it was not uncommon for the elder Whiteley to make part of a house call by car, part by sle·igh, wagon, or even horseback to reach his patients. :: . Fro!l' his father 's example, young Danny Whiteley learned how imporJant the need for doctors was, and what it meant to be there for those in Gallipolis'in 1973. Dan was greatly influenced in this decision by the late Dr. Charles E. Holzer, Jr. In the quarter century that fol lowed, Whiteley has been active in many fields in and outside of medicine, such as affiliations with organizations such as the American Board of Surgery, American College of Surgeons, Gallia County Medical Society, Ohio Stale Medical Association, American Medical Association, Gallia Cou nty Emergency Medical Services, Holzer Regional Cancer Center, American Cancer Society, Gallipolis Area Ostomy Association, Board of Trustees of the University of Rio Grand.e, Presi - dent of the Ariel Theatre Board and since 1997 has served Gallia County as County ·Coroner. Before becoming coroner, he had served as assistant coroner for 14 years ., Above all, however, Dan WhiteIcy has carved out a legacy of putting the patient's well -being above all else, though times have been somewhat less than kind to his chosen field, with today's health care professionals being seen by many as mercenaries, scapegoats, or all too often easy targets for litigation. •• When I was growing up, the doctor was looked at jn a different light," Whiteley said , ··suing a doc- tor would have been like suing the The time came to step away. ~nd Pope." the thoughi of how his father passed With a loss of control, in regards • away while still practicing medicine to patient care, while still being weighed heavily in Whiteley's deci responsible legally for any compli- sion . cations , a love for medicine and di sAfter more than 30 years of enc hantment with the red tape putting the job and patients first, the involved in practicing medicine time to spend · time with family, . became an incre~ingly difficult bal- incl uding grandchildren Michael , ance to maintain .

An employee there si nce 1989, Adkins has .served as supervi sor, unit man ager, staff development director and acting director of nursing during· that time. She is a 1981 graduate of Meigs High School and the Rio Grande Collegc/Holzer School of Nursing, and is a certifieli gerontological nurse. . She is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Keith Riggs of Pomeroy, and resides · , in Gallipolis with her husband, Jeff, imd daughters, Lauren and Payton. By CHRISTINE HANLEY AIIOCiated Preas Writer FRESNO, Calif. - From El Nino's cotton-soaking spring del- · ,.uges to a fruit-killing Christmas freeze, wit~ all sorts of crop damage in between, 1998 was a year of mon, . umental havoc for California agriculture. Fanners, who like fishermen are at the' mercy of the weather but also are heavily insured, have estimated losses at more than $1 billidn and counting. , The preliminary tally, which is sure to climb once industry officials a:nd insurers close the books on all the damage, already rivals some of the worst years in recent memory for the state's agri cultural industry. A common measuring stick is 1990, when $800 million in losses were attributed to a severe freeze and a drought cost millions more. "It cenainly was a very, very chal-· lenging year, and farmers are glad to see 1998 end." said Bob Krauter, spokesman .for the California Farm Bureau Federation. "Obviously, we face all kinds of weather-challenging events: droughts, freezes, floods. But it just seemed there was a more significant number of challenges." Early in the year, El Nin o's unceasiryg, unpredictable wrath led to flooding and excessive wetness that doused crops, threw harv est' and planting schedules o'ut of whack alld, created environments in which pests and disease flourished. On top of that, iv late Dece mber, a four-da:t stretch of snow and free z- ing temperatures wipcli out the lemon crop and delivered a crippling blow to the rest of the citrus industry. Citrus losses were most recently estimated at $~40 million but are expected to rise. Those losses translate into higher· 'prices for customers at gr~ry stores. and produce warkets. ' "For consumers, that does mean that you will see a shortage ofeati~g oranges. When it comes to pricing, everything in agriculture is related to supply and demand," sl!id Heather Flower, .spokeswoman for the Westem Growers Association. Wholesale prices for navel oranges have gone from $10 or $12 a box to more than $20, said Krauter. In a few instances, boxes of l~ largest oranges have gone for $30,1lle well. Nothing pleases us more than to have our employees return home to · their families safe and healthy at the end of their towboat assignment or work shift.': . , . . . The d1vts1on s acctdent 1nc1den1 rate for 1998 (number of disabling mJunes per 200.000 hours worked) was zero, as compared to the maritime inland river towing industry average of 5.2 for this safety measure. The record-setting safety performance took place within the context of a record-breaking production year. During 1998, the diwision transported 23.5 million tons of coal for AEP System generating-plants. In addition, it moved some 4.5 million tons of coal, stone and other aggregates for outside customers. The total-28 million tons- is 11.4 percent apove the di~ision 's best previous year. . .
