B4 THE COURIER-JOURNAL CKY DEATHS FRIDAY, MARCH 3, 1995 KENTU KENTUCKY DEATHS Infant formula valued at $15 million seized in probe of relabeling Wallen and Tommy W. Daniels, died Tuesday in Lexington. Graveside service, 1 p.m. Friday, Chris-well Cemetery. There will be no visitation.

Arrangements: Marvin S. Associated Press LEXINGTON, Ky. Federal agents confiscated more than $1.5 million in infant formula from a Lexington business as part of a nationwide crackdown on centers suspected of illegally relabeling the product, a prosecutor said. Agents from the Food and Drug Administration's criminal branch and the Internal Revenue Service served a search warrant Wednesday on; Mohammad Shalash, owner of Lexington Wholesale Co. No charges have been filed.

The FDA is investigating whether the company bought cheap formula, then relabeled and repackaged it with counterfeit company trademarks, said Joseph Famularo, the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky. The FDA also is investigating whether the company removed $3 rebate coupons from the formula and replaced them with counterfeit ones, he said. "We're not doing anything illegal," said Ziad Shalash, Mohammad Shalash's son who works for the company. Ziad Shalash said his father's company buys formula directly from the manufacturer, then places it in a new box, but does not change the labels.

Agents marked and loaded pallets bearing Isomil, Similac, ProSobee and Enfamil labels into six tractor-trailer trucks. Ziad Shalash estimated each of the six trucks carried about $260,000 in formula. The FDA has been investigating Lexington Wholesale Co. for about two months, said Michael Geary, special agent in charge of the criminal branch. Agents spoke with Mohammad Shalash for several hours Wednesday, but he went home while the formula was loaded onto the trucks.

Ziad Shalash said agents told him there was nothing wrong with the formula. The problem involves the packaging. Becky Phillips, a Fayette County Health Department nutritionist, said mislabeled infant formula could cause problems for children with allergies or intolerance for certain brands. BEAVER DAM Ted R.

Associated Press PRINCESS, Ky. Directors of Tri-City Turf Club Inc. are offering to sell Mountain Meadows harness racing track. If no buyer is found by May 1, the track will be auctioned June 15. "It's a dream gone bad, I guess you'd say," Turf Club President M.

L. Vaughan said after Wednesday's decision. "But because of the circumstances I've gone through here- with bad feelings about BOP-TROT and things, it's kind of a relief." Vaughan assisted the FBI in its BOPTROT sting operation, which led to the conviction of several longtime Kentucky legislators, including House Speaker Don Blandford, on corruption charges involving lobbyists for the racing industry. The sale will be subject to the approval of both the U. S.

Bankruptcy Court and the Kentucky Racing Commission. Intertrack wagering will continue at Mountain Meadows during the search for a buyer.

Turf Club attorney John Morgan Jr. said the current owners thought there was too much bad blood for them to be successful. "The Racing Commission has made it very clear that they don't want to deal with any track that has these people involved," he said. "We've accepted that." But Bernie Hettel, director of the commission's Harness Racing Division, denied that the commission has anything against the track's owners. Vaughan closed Riverside Downs in Henderson in 1993 and began intertrack wagering at Mountain Meadows in April 1994.

Tri-City Turf Club filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Nov. 17 to head off involuntary liquidation by the Florida Department of Insurance, after the agency took over an insurance company Vaughan controlled in Orlando. Mountain Meadows missed its first scheduled live meet in October because the track was not finished. No racing has ever been held there. makes it a high-volume traffic area, particularly during the morning rush hour.

About 6,000 to 7,000 vehicles a number almost equal to the county's population pass through each day on Ky. 9, according to Joe Kearnes, the area's chief district engineer for the Transportation Cabinet. In the first two months of 1995, 205 speeding tickets were filed in the county clerk's office almost 98 percent written on Ky. 9. Last year 544 traffic tickets, including all moving violations, were filed in Bracken.

The highway's rural setting contributes to the speeding problem by making drivers think they are alone, Wuchner said. Motorists take the opportunity to "snatch that cookie," he said, taking an "I'll-get-away-with-it-while-I-can" attitude. classmates signed it. "A lot of the kids in our school aren't getting the education they deserve," said Testagrossa, 13. Principal Robert Gouvin said the petition exaggerated problems, noting that school officials have never found illegal drugs at the school, which has about 380 pupils.

II Georges Koehler, 48, dies; shared Nobel in medicine FREIBURG, Germany (AP) Georges Koehler, who shared the 1984 Nobel Prize for medicine, died Wednesday of a lung infection, Freiburg University said. He was 48. Koehler directed the Max Planck Institute for Immune Biology at Freiburg, where he studied before he began working in the 1970s with Cesar Milstein at Cambridge in Britain on the fusion of white blood cells. They developed a method of producing large quantities of monoclonal antibodies, which have many uses in diagnosis and treatment of illnesses. Koehler and Milstein shared the Nobel Prize along with Niels Jerne.

From 1976 to 1983 Koehler worked at the Institute for Immu- nology in Basel, Switzerland. He had been at the Max Planck Institute since 1984.

Only 20 miles of Ky. 9 is in Bracken County, but that stretch is one of the deadliest parts of the highway.

Last year all seven fatal crashes in the county occurred on Ky. 9, said Trooper Jan Wuchner. Two people have died on the highway this! year. Wuchner calls Ky. 9, commonly known as the AA Highway, "an interstate with crossroads," with a high potential for accidents.
