Beloved husband of Ra- fww Ej Rebecca Goodman Enquirer staff writer KENWOOD Dean P. Fite, retired vice president of corporate affairs and director of Procter Gamble, died Sunday at the Seasons Retirement Community. He was 93. Mr. Fite received the Great Living Cin-dnnatian Award from the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber in 1992.

He also was in "Who's Who in America." But he never rang his own bell, said his daughter, Nancy Stockmann of Bloom-field Hills, Mich. "He was always trying to do' what was right for everyone else. It was just such a beautiful philosophy of Dad's." Born and raised in Washington Court House, Ohio, Mr. Fite was one of Ed and Susan C. Fite's five children.

His father ran a penny-candy store and his mother taught high-school English. Mr. Fite earned money by delivering ice in a horse-drawn carriage and The Cincinnati Enquirer. Mr. Fite had lost the money he had saved for college during the Depression, so he entered the University of Cincinnati's co-op program.

"He went away to college with one pair of pants," his daughter, said. 1 He received a bachelor's degree in commercial engineering from UC in 1935. While there, he was a member of Beta Theta Pi fraternity and the ROTC. After college he kept books for a grocery store in Gallipolis, Ohio. When the store threatened to go under, he inquired about the best company to work for in Cincinnati and was advised to apply to He took time off work and came to town to fill out an application.

"He scored higher than anyone to that date and down to this day," his daughter said. But because he didn't get another Dear Grandmother of 7 Saturday, April 15th grandchildren and sev- 9:30 A.M. until service eral great grandchil- time of 1 1 A.M. at Jaml- dren; Tuesday, April 11, son and Jamison, 11400 2006 residence Ma- Winton Rd. (Forest the job of a lifetime offered to him and he is so straight he had to finish what he was doing first," his daughter said.

Mr. Fite had his second interview on a Saturday in 1937 and was hired immediately. He entered the Army as a first lieutenant in 1942, serving in the artillery during World War II. He completed his military service in 1945 as a major with a Purple Heart and two Bronze Stars. He rejoined and became vice president and member of the board of directors in 1961.

He retired in 1975. Mr. Fite served as mayor of Amberley Village during the 1980s. He is credited with bulking up the village's coffers in anticipation of the departure of Gibson Greeting Cards a move that spared Amberley a lot of pain later. He also served on the boards of numerous organizations and companies.

His wife of 66 years, Norma C. Fite, died in 2002. Besides his daughter, survivors include a son, David Fite of Scottsville, N.Y.; a brother, Alan Fite of Overland Park, a sister, Barbara Fite of Tennessee; five grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren. A memorial service is 10:30 a.m. May 5 at Pleasant Ridge Presbyterian Church, 5950 Montgomery Road.

While some states had substantial increases in emissions last year, others reduced emissions, according to an analysis by the nonprofit Environmental Integrity Project, which monitors enforcement of environmental laws. California, where Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Tuesday launched a state program to reduce greenhouse gases by 25 percent by 2020, produced 31 million tons of power plant carbon dioxide last year, down from 35.9 million tons in 2004. Other states with substantial reductions were Mississippi, Arkansas, Illinois and Utah. Unlike other industrial air emissions, greenhouse gases do not pose a significantly greater problem for persons living near the sources.

Instead, they simply join the worldwide accumulation. The Energy Department predicts that in the next 25 years, the U.S. electric power sector will increase its output of greenhouse gases by 38 percent. As more countries, especially China and India, build new plants, the United Nations has projected that by 2030 the output of electricity from burning coal will be double 2002's figure. Cox News Service WASHINGTON Ohio power plants' emissions of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, increased by more than 7.8 million tons last year, one of the largest increases of any state.

Preliminary data gathered by the Environmental Protection Agency acid rain program, which monitors emissions from power plants, show the Ohio plants' output of carbon dioxide last year was 137.9 million tons, nearly 5.7 percent more than in 2004. K-The largest single sources of the gas in Ohio were the J.M. Gavin power plant in Cheshire, which released nearly 19 million tons, and the Sammis Power Station at Stratton, 15.4 million tons. Some climate scientists believe the hitpdup of carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere has helped cause Significant increases in the Earth's temperature in recent decades. The gases trap heat like a greenhouse and keep it from radiating into space, scientists say.

I Nationwide, power plants produced more than 2.5 billion tons of carbon diox-ijde in 2005, an increase of 48 million tons or almost 2 percent over 2004. Most of tjhe gas came from coal-burning plants.

He said only a few students at his school understand why he cares so much about immigration rights and that it was inspiring to "see more people who are proud of their race." Many of the students came from Toledo's high schools as long as they had permission from their parents. They also had to be members of a Latino club or in a social studies class, said schools spokeswoman Jane Brass.

Some students came from Bowling Green and Fremont to march about five blocks through a neighborhood that is home to many Hispanic They carried American flags and signs with messages such as: "Immigration built this Nation" and "We are opportunists not criminals." For a while now, the Farm Labor Organizing Committee has reached out to high school students to get involved in its march, which also tries to draw attention to the mistreatment of field workers.
