Couple Wants $35,000 For Dog PITTSBURGH (UPI) An Arizona couple says USAir is responsible for the death of their dog and has threatened to sue the airline unless it pays them $35,000 in compensation, according to a published report. Richard and Christine Nihei, of Chandler, accused USAir of mishandling their dog's kennel while loading it onto a plane at Greater Pittsburgh International Airport Dec.

28, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported Wednesday. In a letter sent to the airlines, the couple claimed USAir was negligent in allowing their dog, Sasha, to get loose from its kennel. The couple said the 8-year-old Shetland sheepdog got lost at the airport and was killed three days later after being struck by a truck on a highway about one mile south of the airport. The Niheis asked monetary compensation for "the pain and suffering associated with the loss of the dog and the out-ofpocket expenses and inconvenience incurred in the Niheis' efforts to retreive Sasha prior to her death," the newpaper said. The couple's attorney, Michael Bresnehan, said he will file suit against the air carrier if officials do not repsond.

USAir officials were not available for comment. USAir is headquartered in Washington, D.C., and has its central hub in Pittsburgh. FFA Protests Use Of Landfill HOUSTON (UPI) A Federal Aviation Administration official opposes the use of a Houston landfill to dump 300,000 tons of garbage from Philadelphia, saying the trash could attract birds that would endanger aircraft at nearby Ellington Field. Stan Lou, manager of the FAA's district office, has written the state Department of Health protesting use of the landfill. "Our guidelines are that operation of a landfill within 10,000 feet of an airport with jet traffic could increase the number of bird strikes," he said.

Ellington once was an active Air Force base, but now is home to reserve units as well as NASA aircraft, including a fleet of T-38s flown by astronauts. Genoa Transfer Station Inc. has a permit to bury baled garbage at the landfill. The landfill now is inactive, but the company plans to use the site to dipose of 300,000 tons of garbage a year from Philadelphia. The company was denied state permission to bury loose garbage at the site three years ago.

The FAA and the city said at the time that loose garbage would attract birds that could endanger aircraft from Ellington. Tyrone School Safeguards in the program outlines the procedure which the district should follow should a student contract the virus. It also deals with employees who may become exposed to AIDS. The board felt the policy was sufficiently detailed for the information which is currently available and flexible enough to incorporate any new data without any difficulty or restructure of the program to update it. Smoking Policy Tuesday was a night for adoption of policy for the district.

The board gave approval to creating one of the two staff lounges at the high school as a non-smoking area. Superintendent Dr. William Miller said there are two lounges in the high school, and after a survey of the staff was completed it was determined they would give approval to making one of them for those who do not smoke. New board member Harry Sickler said he too favored one of the lounges being free of smokers. He said it is widely known that those who do not smoke are in as much danger as smokers by just being around the exhaled cigarette smoke.

Sickler said there be those on staff who are allergic to cigarette and other smoke who are excluded from using the staff lounges. A survey of teachers revealed 11 wanted a ban; five of those said they would agree to one smoke and one non-smoking lounge. Reagan Hesitant On Contra Aid ROSSI'S CORNER STORE RTE. 220 TIPTON VALENTINES SPECIAL RENT 3 MOVIES AND GET A FREE CAN OF DELGROSSO PIZZA SAUCE MOZZMEUA CHEESE 2-LTR. PEPSI 99t plus tax oj Good Selection Of 'GREEN PEPPERS 'ONIONS 'BANANAS 'TOMATOES STOP IN LOOK AROUND By HKLKN THOMAS UPI White House Reporter WASHINGTON (UPI) President Reagan is offering no promises to House Speaker Jim Wright and other Democrats seeking his support for an alternative package of aid to the Nicaraguan Contra rebels.

"The Democratic leadership assumed certain responsibilityin this process when they rejected our plan," presidential spokesman Marlin Fitzwater said Tuesday, clearly indicating the White House remains miffed over last week's House defeat of Reagan's $36.3 million aid request. "Our response is that we would like to see what they have in mind," Fitzwater added. "We'd like to see the proposal and we'll consult with them as best we can. We want to have some proposal first." In a letter to Reagan Tuesday, Wright and other House Democrats invited him to join in planning a new, nonmilitary aid package for the U.S.-backed rebels opposing Nicaragua's Sandinista government. The president's rejected proposal contained $3.6 million in weaponry, which many lawmakers protested in light of cease-fire talks under way between the Contras and Sandinistas.

To persuade fence-sitting colleagues to oppose Reagan, Wright, D-Texas, had pledged last week to offer a follow-up package of humanitarian aid to sustain the rebels. He said Tuesday he hopes to vote on that within two weeks. In the letter to Reagan, the Democratic leaders invited "your suggestions for the form and amount such humanitarian aid might take, as well as any other suggestions you may have for encouraging both sides to pursue a cease-fire and a process of democratization which will carry out the (peace) accords." The letter added pointedly, "Rather than preparing for a confrontation at the conclusion of the process, surely it would be much better to work together at the outset in perfecting the program." Contra leaders in Miami said Monday they will begin soliciting financial aid from private sources. Fitzwater said Tuesday the administration will abstain from any solicitation of private money the sort of dealings revealed in the Iran-Contra scandal last year. Reagan's agenda today included lunch with George Bush, where it was expected they would compare some notes about the vice president's stinging third-place finish in the Iowa presidential caucuses Monday night.

Reagan is publicly neutral in the GOP campaign, but insiders have said he supports Bush and may give him private pointers toward much- needed success in next week's New Hampshire primary, where the vice president is favored. Reagan will dabble with GOP fund-raising activity until the party's national convention this summer, and then he plans to go all-out behind the nominee. IQ Hits Radiophob USSR After Chernobyl By CHARLKS MITCHKU, MOSCOW (UPI) Soviet health authorities are complaining that "radiophobic" Kiev residents are blaming every sneeze, stomach upset and headache on imagined radiation poisoning from the Chernobyl nuclear disaster nearly two years ago. The newspaper Izvestia reported Tuesday that Soviet health authorities are forced to spend large amounts of time calming and reassuring patients suffering from an irrational fear of radiation in the Ukranian capital rather than treating them for their actual illnesses. "Doctors are faced with radiophobia, when usual symptoms of illnesses are connected with the accident," said a report by Health Minister Anatoly Romanenko.

"If a person sneezes, he has breathed radioactive dust. A child has a stomach ache, he has cesium in his stomach. A grandmother has a headache, there is strontium (a deadly radioactive isotope) in the bones," the report said. "Even now this struggle against radiophobia takes up the bulk of the working time of doctors. If we can calm the population, we can solve NBCRSA Getting its part of the study.

The NBCRSA is going to court to contest that opinion. The TSA, on the other hand, is now suing the NBCRSA for sewage treatment it says the NBCRSA owes it, refusing to acknowledge the NBCRSA's suit. Solicitor Gates in a quick reversal has now filed an objection to the TSA suit, saying that its initial suit precedes all the others. As usual, the beat goes on and on and Extend Lines The members of the authority also heard a request that sewer lines be extended to the Triangle in Bald Eagle. The extension of the lines has been considered before but never implemented.

The request was taken under advisement for further study. A factor in that study will be a feasibility study which the NBCRSA will undertake at a cost of $3000. Half of the cost will be funded by the state. The remaining $1500 will be shared by Snyder Township and the authority if Snyder Township agrees to come in on the study. It was reported that the 1985-87 audits have been completed and will be made public within the near future.

The audit will be reviewed by the members and accepted at the next meeting of the authority which will be held the second Tuesday of March. Postal Service However, Mease said, the lobby of the post office; will remain open for the usual hours so people can use their post office boxes or purchase stamps from the machine in the lobby. The local postal employees are very sorry for any inconvenience to the public during the transition, and "we are making every effort to limit the inconvenience to our customers," Mease said. many more social and medical problems more easily," it added. "As for radiophobia, the people who suffer most from it are those who show no trace of radioactive materials in their bodies," Romanenko said.

Romanenko said radiation levels in the soil and water around Kiev, a city of 2.5 million about 70 miles southwest of Chernobyl, remain slightly higher than normal but are well below dangerous levels. He said a child born in Kiev a few months after the April 1986 disaster would be exposed to only 5 to 10 percent more radiation over a 60-year period than would be experienced normally. That level of exposure would have no effect on a person's health, he said. Romanenko said the number of imagined radiation-related illnesses from the world's worst nuclear power accident was unreasonably high. The report stressed that continued health checks on the estimated 135,000 people evacuated from a "hot" zone within an 18-mile radius of the Chernobyl plant have shown no evidence that the radiation had any dangerous long-term effects.

It said 150,000 children from the Kiev region who have undergone two to three thyroid checks for radiation have all passed the tests. "The diagnosis for all these groups is the same no deviation in their health has been found," the report said. In an effort to calm the population, doctors have maintained that they expect no measurable increases in cancer rates among the population exposed to the Chernobyl radioactive dust. Western experts remain skeptical of that claim. There were 31 people killed in the accident and 237 were hospitalized.

Of that group, 24 were permanently disabled by radiation sickness, Soviet officials have said. The damaged reactor at Chernobyl has been entombed in concrete but the three other units have since been placed back in the national power grid. The government has said it will proceed with plans to double the amount of electricity generated by nuclear power plants, the goal being 22 percent of national electrical output by the end of the century. However, the government in December abandoned a partially constructed nuclear power plant at near the Black Sea because of public protests. CURIOUS AT 50: Children's author Margret Rey had to miss the 50th birthday party for her most famous creation, Curious George, the impish monkey.

Stark, the one-time softporn actress who had a celebrated 18-month romance with Prince Andrew, is appearing in Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None" at, ironically enough, the Duke of York Theater. Before Koo was staged she told an interviewer, "Being an actress is really all I ever wanted to be," and her producer, Bill Kenwright, described her as having "real star quality." But Koo's reviews were boos. "Koo, a dab hand at thrills in her film stripping days, did a terrible job providing them with her clothes on," one critic wrote.

Another said: "The stark truth is that it's doubtful Meryl Streep will be worried." Democrat Sits For Republican Gov. Mecham By IAWI K. WKINKAUB PHOENIX, Ariz. (UPI) Acting Gov. Rose Mofford began putting her imprint on state government after officially taking the reins from the impeached Evan Mecham, sacking Mecham's top aide and saying she would support a Martin Luther King holiday.

It was Mecham's cancellation of a paid King holiday that ignited the furor that culminated in his becoming the first governor to simultaneously face felony indictment, impeachment and a recall election. The Democratic secretary of state assumed control Monday, three days after the House of Representatives voted 46-14 to impeach the Republican governor and strip him of his powers pending a Senate trial. One of Mofford's first acts was to place Max Hawkins, director of the Department of Administration, on paid leave. It was Hawkins who urged Mecham to make his fifth try for the governorship in 1986. Mofford said she likely will place most of Mecham's key staff members on leave.

Mofford, 65, and a 47-year veteran of state government, also set a brief legislative agenda and said she would support a holiday for Martin Luther King saying the controversy over the abolishment of Arizona's paid holiday has been a "national symbol for our disunity." She did not make it clear, however, whether she would support a paid holiday. One of Mecham's first acts in office was to cancel the King holiday on the advice of the attorney general, who said a paid holiday could be established only by the Legislature. Cancellation of the holiday, which was established by outgoing Gov. Bruce Babbitt, unleashed a flood of criticism and spurred a recall drive that succeeded in forcing a new gubernatorial election scheduled May 17. "I'd like to be a healing governor, a forceful governor and one that will act," Mofford told her first news conference as acting chief executive.

After a brief news conference, Mecham retreated to his home suburban Glendale to begin working on his campaign for the recall election. The governor will move his office from the capitol this week and into campaign headquarters. Mecham, while not criticizing Mofford directly, scoffed at the notion she could heal the fractured state. "Arizona is pretty much in turmoil right now," Mecham said. "I don't think there will be any healing until after May 17." Mecham said he expects to prevail in both the recall election and Senate impeachment trial.

"I look at this strictly as an interim affair," Mecham said confidently. "I expect to continue to be your governor when the present moment of confusion is over." Mecham, 63, retains his title the Senate trial but is stripped of his gubernatorial powers. If convicted, he would be permanently removed from office and could not appeal. Meantime, the House, in its final role in the impeachment process, voted 42-18 Monday to adopt the specific articles of impeachment that will form the basis of the Senate trial, which is expected to start Feb. 22.
