THE COURIER-JOURNAL, SATURDAY, MARCH 29, 1986 7 APPEAXS Closing of store at La Grange will affect about 40 employees COURT MINUTES The Frankfort Bureau FRANKFORT, Ky. The of the Kentucky Court of Appeals yesterday: but he doubted that many of the La Grange employees would want to move. Crawford said workers heard of the closing early this month. "The employees were kind of shocked and disappointed," he said. "A lot of them have worked here a long time." will have a liquidation sale soon, Crawford said, but no dates have been set.

The La Grange which opened in 1979 in the Oldham Plaza shopping center on KY 53, was operating in the black and had experienced recent sales increases, Crawford said. "We've had several chains look at (buying) us," Crawford said. He declined to name them. TG a family discount store in La Grange, will be out of business when its doors close at 9 p.m. today.

The sale of the 700-store TG operation to McCrory Corp. In January precipitated the closing, said Ken Crawford, manager of the La Grange store. McCrory, which operates a nationwide chain of variety stores, will keep about 500 TG stores, Crawford said, including stores In Bards-town and in Madison and Corydon, Ind. The remaining stores will be offered for sale to other national retailing firms, he said. About 40 full- and part-time employees are affected by the La Grange closing, Crawford said.

Employees will be offered a chance to transfer to McCrory stores, he said, r. fe? Br, Ah, yj. egf Staff Photo by Gary S. Chapman Purchase Central YTTVT A TVTT A Pennyrlle Area Huograss I ll I I CORN No. 2Y 3 2.41-2.4 2.40-2.4 aVJk lVXi aVaW SOYBEANS No.

Marshall, one of five managing partners of Ogden, Robertson Marshall, is leaving the Louisville law firm because of a difference of opinion with other partners, the firm announced yesterday. James S.

Marshall, 64, was out of town on business and could not be reached for comment. He had been with the company since 1951. Welch said the firm, which has 23 lawyers, will continue under the name Ogden Robertson.

By SHELDON SHAFER Staff Wrltar A 60-year-old plow and a team of mules, characteristic of "Kentucky's roots," were used yesterday to break ground for the $12 million Kentucky Kingdom theme park at the state fairgrounds. Shortly thereafter, hundreds of balloons containing tickets for free admission to the "family entertainment center" were released. The park will be previewed during the State Fair, Aug. 14-23, and open for good next spring. Gov.

Martha Layne Collins followed the plow and mules for a few yards as the first dirt was turned at the 17-acre site in the southwest corner of the Kentucky Fair Exposition Center. Moments before, she proclaimed, "The sun is shining bright in Kentucky today. This theme park has been talked about and talked about. And now it's ready. When it's done, I want Kentucky Kingdom to be a household word." Kentucky Kingdom is expected to provide about 500 summer jobs and 80 year-round jobs.

State Fair Board officials had tried since the late 1970s to develop the park. Several deals fell through, but a group led by Michael Jenkins, a Dallas-based designer of amusement and leisure centers, arranged the financing late last year. Yesterday, Jenkins said, "If things worth doing don't come easy, this must be the most worthwhile effort ever put together." He emphasized that the center won't be an amusement park or hangout for teen-agers. Instead, it will offer something for everyone rides, cultural attractions, history, entertainment and exhibits. Construction will begin in 10 to 14 days.

A two-level Crystal Carousel, which is being built in Italy and will be shipped to Louisville in July, will be previewed during the State Fair. Also to be previewed then will be a bumper-car ride, an arcade for games, the main restaurant and two other food-service areas. Jenkins disclosed some other details of the park in an interview. He said a steeplechase ride planned as a main attraction has been dropped because of safety concerns and the reluctance of companies to insure it. It will be replaced, Jenkins said, by an amphitheater live shows, with themes ranging from Broadway to the '50s to blue- grass music.

Jenkins said admission prices haven't been established, but pre liminary plans call for one fee to cover all rides. Jenkins' group, Kentucky Entertainment also will operate the midway during the State Fair.

The first dinosaur will be a bronto-saurus, he said. The other dinosaurs to be purchased, a dimetrodon, pa-chycephalosaurus, stegosaurus, tri-ceratops and tyrannosaurus rex, have been in one of the previous exhibits.

By LARRY BLEIBERG Staff Wrltar The Louisville Museum of History and Science plans to join five other museums in a "dinosaur consortium" that would give it a mechanized dinosaur replica of its own and access to five others during the next two years. Under the agreement, approved Thursday by the museum's board of trustees, the Louisville museum and five others will band together to buy six dinosaurs.

Each museum will pay $75,000 and get to exhibit the entire dinosaur family for 10 weeks during each of the next two fiscal years, and a maintenance contract, will be paid out of the museum's capital fund, he said. The Louisville museum is scheduled to get the exhibit during the spring, Bowen said. After two years, the participating museums can renew their agreement or just keep their dinosaur. The dinosaurs, which have been shown in two successful exhibits at the museum, are rubber-coated, computerized machines that look, howl and move like the real ones are supposed to have done. The past exhibits lasted a total of 16 weeks during early 1985 and 1986.

Kentucky farmers submitted 1,742 bids on a total of 110,888 acres; only 382 bids on 24,436 acres were accepted.

In Indiana, the USDA accepted only 157 bids covering 4,714 acres. The plan is designed to reduce overproduction of crops while eventually protecting as much as 45 million acres. Participants will receive one-time conservation payments as well as the annual land-retirement compensation. elsewhere have shied away from a federal plan to pay them for taking erosion-prone land out of production for 10 years. However, dairy farmers have entered a production-control program in sufficient numbers to satisfy the U.S.

Department of Agriculture. Agriculture Secretary Richard Lyng said yesterday in Washington that only 838,356 acres of crop land subject to erosion would be taken out of production in the first phase of that new program. He said the USDA will resume its effort May 5 to meet a first-year goal of 5 million acres. Farmers sign up by submitting bids representing annual payments sell-out of dairy farms. Those bids represented one-time payments farmers would accept for agreeing to sell their herds and stay out of milk production for five years.

The USDA accepted 13,988 bids to sell off herds that produced about 12.3 billion pounds of milk last year, a spokesman said. That figure, theoretically, could come close to wiping out a costly milk surplus. All dairy farmers will contribute to a fund to cover at least part of the payments to the successful bidders. The highest bids accepted were $22.50 for each 100 pounds of milk removed from production. In Kentucky, the USDA received 1,513 bids and accepted 399: In Indiana, it accepted 282 out of 864 bids.
