BENTON Roy Farmer, 99, died Sunday in Paducah. The funeral was Tuesday at Collier Funeral are to be retested because they showed reactions, but they were too small to be considered positive. So far, none of the X-rays has indicated any activity, Joly said. Yesterday, about 500 students at North Hardin were tested. The test takes a few seconds.

A small needle is inserted into the brearm and a protein compound in-, ected. The injection creates a small ump. If the bump has gone down and not resurfaced in two or three days, the test is negative. If the bump resembles a mosquito bite when health department nurses check it, it is positive. A positive skin test means the person inhaled tuberculosis germs into their lungs from someone usually an adult with contagious tuberculosis.

Children usually cannot spread the disease because it doesn't make them cough, said Dr. H. Mac Vandi-viere, a physician at the University of Kentucky who works with the lo- cal health department twice a Associated Press ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky. Health officials tested about 500 high school students for tuberculosis yesterday after discovering that a janitor may have had a contagious case of the disease while working at the middle school the students had attended. The ninth-graders at North Hardin High may have been exposed when they attended James T.

Alton Middle School, officials said. Lydia Joly, a tuberculosis nurse at the county health center, said the janitor had a positive skin test about two years ago during a routine screening, but lung X-rays did not indicate a contagious case, and he was not placed on preventive medicine. Sometime between those tests and September, the man's dormant infection became active and contagious. During a mass screening of almost 800 students and staff at J.T. Alton last month, 14 of them had positive skin tests.

Davis Funeral Home. Visitation after By ANDREW WOLFSON Staff Writer Convicted killer Todd Ice should remain in a state mental hospital for another 360 days, Jefferson Circuit Judge Ken Corey ruled yesterday. Affirming Ice's civil commitment, Corey rejected the contentions of Ice's lawyers that he was being unfairly punished twice for the 1978 murder of a 7-year-old Powell County neighbor. Corey also said a district judge did not err in allowing Ice's former lawyer and his former psychologist to testify at his mental inquest hearing. Corey said in a four-page opinion that lawyer Gail Robinson's testimony about threats Ice made against her was not privileged and that Dr.

Robert Noelker had a legal duty to disclose the danger posed by Ice for the "common good of both Ice and the public." Ice's lawyer, public defender Frank Heft said he would ask the state Court of Appeals to review Corey's ruling. Home. BENTON Reba Hill, 87, died here Monday.

Visitation at Hornbeak Funeral Home after 12:30 p.m. Wednesday. GREENVILLE Erma Dunn, State transportation officials claim an order issued by Jefferson District Judge James Nicholson would frustrate the intent of state law by enabling a woman whose Illinois driver's license had been suspended to obtain a license in Kentucky. Nicholson's Jan. 7 order directing the state Transportation Cabinet to give Bonita C.

Brinly, 35, a driver's license contradicts laws intended to prevent "license-shopping" by people whose licenses have been suspended in other states, the cabinet said in a petition filed Monday. The petition, asking that Nicholson's order be overruled, was assigned to Jefferson Circuit Judge Geoffrey Morris. According to court documents, Brinly was an Illinois resident and held an Illinois driver's license when she was arrested in Kentucky in May 1993 and charged with reckless driving and driving under the influence. She pleaded guilty to the latter charge in August 1993. Kentucky transportation officials notified their Illinois counterparts, who revoked Brinly's Illinois driver's license.

Brinly, who has since moved to Louisville, would be eligible for a Kentucky driver's license except for Illinois officials' refusal to issue a clearance letter, the petition says. Nicholson was not a party to the case involving the traffic charges against Brinly, the petition says. If followed, his Jan. 7 order would violate Kentucky law, which forbids issuing a driver's license to anyone with a suspended out-of-state license, it says. The law gives force to the state's "legitimate concern in preventing drivers whose licenses have been suspended for drunk driving from operating vehicles on Kentucky highways," the petition says.

Moreover, it says, Nicholson lacks jurisdiction over the issuance or reinstatement of driver's licenses, matters delegated to the Transportation Cabinet by the legislature. Nicholson could not be reached for comment yesterday. Nicholson has also been challenged in a separate matter by public defenders, who have asked the state Supreme Court to strike down his policy of requiring some defendants to pay a contempt fine or appearance bond before they can appear in court. A petition filed in August by the Jefferson District Defender's office claims the policy violates constitutional guarantees of free access to courts. The Supreme Court has not yet ruled in the matter.

City's free-parking gift to shoppers has limits BOSTON (AP) The city's gift of free holiday season parking turned out to be more like a lump of coal to some people. About 1,000 shoppers who took advantage of the offer didn't realize the parking was free for only an hour or two, and they got slapped with $20 tickets.

By yesterday, the city had received so many complaints it canceled the tickets. But the spirit of giving has its limits: All future tickets will stand. Although the city could lose $30,000 in revenue, it has offered the free parking for the past three years. In the past, there have been only a few misunderstandings over tickets.

Waples, arguing before Gray, said that the state's electric chair works unreliably and that electrocution violates state and federal constitutional bans on cruel and unusual punishment.

Court rulings upholding the constitutionality of execution by electrocution are based on wrong and outdated assumptions that the condemned criminal loses consciousness immediately, he said. Gray, who prosecuted Steven Judy for the murder of a mother and her three children, ruled that electrocution does not violate the constitution. Judy was executed in 1981 after refusing to appeal. As the legal battling was ranging from Indianapolis to Washington, Resnover waited on death row at the state prison in Michigan City. Protests of the impending execution resumed at the Statehouse.

month. If the opinion is affirmed, Assistant County Attorney Martin Kas-dan Jr. said, he will ask a district court judge to order that Ice be involuntarily medicated while he is confined to Central State Hospital. Ice has previously resisted medication. Ironically, if medication is ordered and it results in an improvement in Ice's condition, his doctor could order his release before the 360-day commitment expires, without the court's approval, Kasdan said.

Ice, who was convicted of manslaughter, served out his sentence but was involuntarily committed last March after a weeklong trial. Ice could be released immediately if a physician finds he that is no longer mentally ill or a danger to himself or others; that he no longer benefits from treatment or that hospitalization is no longer the least restrictive form of treatment. Ice was initially convicted of murdering Donna Knox and sentenced to death, but that conviction was reversed. Anna Bradley Meyer, 68. Funeral: 11 a.m.

Funeral: 11 a.m. Wednesday, Evergreen Funeral Home, 4623 Preston Highway. Man loses appeals as execution nears By THOMAS P. WYMAN Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS Two state judges turned down requests yesterday to block the execution of Gregory Resnover, whose lawyers turned to the U.S. Supreme Court with a plea to halt his electrocution, which is scheduled for early tomorrow.

One judge called the request "a last-minute attempt to manipulate the judicial process." Robert W. Hammerle, Resnover's chief attorney, asked the U.S. Supreme Court for a stay to reconsider his death sentence. The court had no immediate response. Hammerle said he is also preparing requests for U.S.

District Court in Indianapolis and the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago. "Certainly it appears bleak now for Mr. Resnover," said Indiana Civil Liberties Union lawyer Richard Waples. The final effort in state court, which failed, was Resnover's "last best chance to get a stay," he said.

Resnover, 43, is scheduled to be executed just after midnight for his part in the 1980 shooting death of Indianapolis police Sgt. Jack Ohr-berg. Ohrberg was slain trying to arrest Resnover in the shooting death of a Brinks guard. Earlier yesterday, Marion Superior Judge Anthony J. Metz HI dismissed a stay request filed by attorney Michael K.

Sutherlin asking the court to review Gov. Evan Bayh's decision Monday to deny clemency. Waples managed to win the second hearing only after four judges refused to consider the matter and Indiana Chief Justice Randall T. Shepard appointed Morgan Superior Judge G. Thomas Gray as a special judge.
