County Administrator David Krings is putting together a negotiating team now, to be ready by mid-October, Guckenberger said. The team will most likely include Krings and experts in stadium lease negotiations, stadium finances, construction management and architecture. "We have some people in mind, and we're reviewing them," Guckenberger said. Travel, limousine Mara listed spending by the stadium task force: an $80,000 annual salary for one staff member; $41,570 for financial analysis and forecasts; $35,000 for legal research, including the possibility of an interstate compact; $15,000 to New Jersey architect Michael Graves, of which $4,091 was used for travel; $10,747 for public-opinion polling; $1,622 to charter an airplane to fly city and county officials to Columbus, plus $207 for a limousine to the Statehouse. He said the public-opinion polling is "ironic.

They get a big crowd that shows up at commissioners' hearings and 90,000 signatures on a petition, and they seem to be ignoring public opinion." has always been used at the discretion of commissioners. The stadium task force suggested spending; commissioners approved it. He added that the county took over the responsibilities of the task force when he and Bedinghaus proposed the sales tax increase and negotiated a memorandum of understanding with the city of Cincinnati. Mara was particularly critical of a $24,000 study that commissioners authorized Wednesday. It will pay University of Cincinnati economists to study the tax increase's effect on citizens and the value of sports teams to the local economy.

"Taxpayers' money should not be used to fight taxpayers," Mara said. Guckenberger countered that "taxpayers need to know, and we need to know as policy-makers, what are the public benefits of the sports teams." Commissioners have been relying on a study by the Greater Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce, which tax opponents have criticized as outdated and lacking in detail. Said Guckenberger, "We agree." Detailed knowledge will also help the county negotiate leases September 29, 1995, residence Mt. Healthy Christian Home. Graveside service Spring Grove Cemetery, Monday, 2 P.M.

(World War I Vet World War Vet Korean veteran Vietnam Veteran Armed Forces Persian Gulf BY ANNE MICHAUD The Cincinnati Enquirer Hamilton County commissioners should not use public money to bolster support for a sales tax for new sports stadiums, opponents charged Friday. Opposition leader Tim Mara said a $1.2 million state grant to the Regional Stadium Task Force is being misused. The task force is defunct.

County commissioners are "using this as a slush fund to generate information they can use to support a sales tax increase," Mara said. Commissioner Bob Bedinghaus said Mara was deliberately misrepresenting the issue. "No public funds will be used to support the sales tax campaign, period," Bedinghaus said. "The stadium grant was always to provide the economic analysis that will allow us to work with teams, to work with architects," he added.

TANK General Manager Mark Donaghy said Friday morning a decision on TANK'S future at Dixie Terminal could be made Wednesday. He could not be reached Friday after Quails spoke to The Enquirer.

Earlier this year, TANK said it wanted stops on downtown Cincinnati streets because of the deteriorating condition of the terminal and to improve convenience for riders.

Interment Evergreen Cemetery, Monday. unnwnnn mutao cppmr.n.ic Toronto authorities unravel mystery Critics say 241-KIDS needs help BY JOHN HOPKINS The Cincinnati Enquirer The first time the Roselawn mother, spent a night in jail came about a month ago, after she took away her son's Lego building blocks as punishment for his refusal to do chores. The 10-year-old boy soon after called 241-KIDS, a telephone service to report abuse, the mother said. "I hurt," she said.

"I cried all night. I felt betrayed. I felt belittled." The mother told her story before a crowd of about 40 people Friday night during a public meeting at Southern Baptist Church in Avondale. The forum, entitled "Yes! There Is Hope," was held to share stories and answer questions about Hamilton County's 241-KIDS system. The 24-hour service has come under criticism for tying the hands of parents and placing far too much power in the hands of children.

Ethel Whitehead of Groes-beck is leading an effort to have the 241-KIDS law establishing the service within the county's human service's department refined. Whitehead said she has collected 7,000 signatures in a matter of months and is seeking more. "I thought, Lord, we really have to do something about this," Whitehead said. "Some of the stories are so creepy. Some of it is so unreal." The Rev.

Rousseau O'Neal, who spoke during the forum, called the county's system "ludicrous." O'Neal, the father of five, said all of his children received spankings. Hamilton County investigated 7,765 of the 72,000 calls made to the line. The Department of Human Services has said there are "gray areas" in determining neglect and abuse, such as spankings. However, there are "extremely well-trained" caseworkers, who screen and question all calls, according to the department. after reunion CONTINUED FROM PAGE CI Spiegel ordered her release so she could spend her remaining days with her family.

Mrs. Strub spent one week at home with her husband, Earl, in Lawrenceburg before she was admitted to the nursing home where she died. "I think (the end) was kind of bittersweet," Darren Strub said. "She was happy she got to see us all again. I'm sure she wished she could have come back in better health and under better circumstances." Also surviving are a daughter, Julie Brown of Lawrenceburg; tow other sons, Dan Strub of Colorado Springs, and Don Strub of Lawrenceburg; and nine grandchildren.

Visitation will be after 5 p.m. Sunday at Minges Funeral Home in Harrison on 10385 New Haven Road. A funeral service will follow at 7 p.m. Sunday. Burial will be at 10:30 a.m.

Scott said authorities learned of Hamer after a friend saw a news broadcast in Cincinnati on Thursday night and recognized pictures of the grandmother, Neli Hamer, 59. Anita Hamer telephoned Child Find in Canada, an agency that tries to locate missing kids. Neli Hamer did tell police at one point she was the child's grandmother and that they had lived in Hamilton for a short time before they took a bus to Canada, Scott said.

"But she gave us other names and locations, so we were never sure what was true and what was not," Mulholland said. Adrian and his grandmother's international incident began this way, Mulholland said: A woman in Toronto telephoned a Canadian social service office Sept. 24 seeking help in obtaining money and a place to live for herself and a young child. The agency contacted police, and Mulholland said he visited the Hamilton grandma, tot finally identified BY MIKE GALLAGHER The Cincinnati Enquirer It could be the best birthday present Adrian Cormely of Hamilton has ever received in his two years of life. The gift came Friday from detectives at the Metropolitan Toronto Police Department, who finally discovered who he was.

They had spent almost a week trying to identify him and a woman who was caring for him. The woman turned out to be the boy's grandmother, who, because of mental illness, had given authorities multiple names for herself and the child, Toronto police said.

"Anita Hamer told us she had left her son to stay with her moth woman and "discovered something was very wrong. The woman gave me what she said was her name, but had no driver's license or Social Security card or any other piece of identification on her." The woman then told Mulholland she was living for a short time in Hamilton when her daughter called and told her to pick up her grandson at a Cincinnati bus station.

Hamilton police were contacted, but detectives could find no one who recognized pictures of the woman and child.
