The Beacon Journal A7 Saturday, August 26, 1989 Talk-show host suspended because of complaint to FCC Si i without first requesting approval, as FCC rules require. Dee acknowledges being fined by the station for that incident, but claims he gave the other party adequate notice. In any event, he said, the call was justified because the establishment was ignoring cocaine use among its clientele, including his son. Dee has been fired from his last four jobs in New York; Chicago; Washington, D.C.; and Cleveland's WHK (1420-AM). If sacked this time, his first move will be trying to refute the indecency charges, he said.

"No station would hire me with a complaint pending," he said. "I'll have to fight it. I'd like to do it together (with the station). I'd like to do it on the air." Dee, who was hired by WWWE in January 1988, had been filling the afternoon air shift. Continued from page At ried about the possibility of license revocation.

The station's license is up for renewal this fall. Dee said his programs have not been indecent, and that the suspension is actually the result of a clever campaign mounted by well-financed drug dealers he has exposed, both on the show and in private life. Dee, 54, said the station is still paying his salary. He is scheduled to meet Monday with station co-owner Tom Wilson, and will demand to be fired or reinstated immediately, he said. "They assassinated Alan Berg in Denver," Dee said, referring to the talk-show host who was gunned down by neo-Nazis.

"Now they're murdering Gary Dee through the tongues of an attorney." This is the second type of FCC Gary Dee group taped his shows complaint involving Dee this year. In the first, the owner of a Cleveland establishment complained that Dee aired a telephone conversation between them I I Aurora planners back rezoning for Breezy Point development Mm K4 () I iVW-Vff 1 course. The proposal has been mired in controversy. Residents wanting to retain the area's rural feel have opposed the move, saying it could wreck the very reasons they live there. They also fear the city's traffic problems could grow even worse.

The northern Portage County land, owned by the Wolstein Group, is bordered by state routes 43, 82 and 306. Under the tentatively approved rezoning, 40 acres along state Route 82 would be rezoned to commercial. Five acres would be donated to the city for a park. The planning committee approved the rezoning measure Thursday after a three-hour meeting attended by about 60 people. Council is expected to first review the rezoning at 8 p.m.

Monday at the city's town hall. The Aurora Planning Committee has recommended rezoning a 613-acre parcel of land next to downtown from industrial and residential to commercial and planned development. The move, if approved by city council, could pave the way for a Pepper Pike development company to turn the rolling farmland with a watering hole into Breezy Point, an upscale, 700-house development complete with golf Beacon Journal photoTad Wills ANK YO Last call for crawdads Summer vacation is almost over, so David Trussel, 11, of Canton makes a last-minute search for crawfish in the creek that runs through that city's Monument Park.

So vaccine is made new each summer in preparation for the winter flu season. During the summer, drug companies and health officials watch what strains are appearing in the Southern Hemisphere where it's winter and flu season and use that as a guide in developing the U.S. vaccine that will be made available here in the fall. Orris said the only side effect seniors should notice is a sore arm. State health officials estimate that only one in three senior citizens gets an annual flu shot.

With this program, they are aiming to reach two out of three. "This is good for them and they don't have to pay for it," says Charles Weiss, director of pharmacy operations for Young-fellow. He has been busy notifying senior citizen groups of the free clinics, which will be held the first two Sundays of October at the Teamster Local 24 hall on Grant Street in Akron. In addition to those who qualify for the free shots, he said anyone over 16 can get the shot for just $4. Orris said Stark and Summit counties were chosen for the program primarily because the population base here is fairly representative of Ohio.

Top caddy gets out of bad lies Continued from page A6 make a comfortable living," said Carrick. "But because of your expenses, you're never going to get rich." Caddies make an average of $350 a week. Throw in another 5 to 10 percent of the boss's winnings, and the life of a caddy doesn't sound half-bad. That's why John Griffen quit-selling real estate and running a bar 10 years ago. Griffen, 39, of Palm Desert, has few complaints about his career switch.

When his boss, Blaine McCallister, asks his advice, Griffen must hand him the 8-iron instead of the 9-iron, and vice versa, with confidence. "I've told him when I thought it was the right club and it wasn't the right club," Griffen said. "They bark at you." McCallister has won $307,000 so far this year. Griffen has made somewhat less than $30,000 not that he's complaining. "The worst thing?" laughed Griffen.

"Doing laundry. It's either that or else win every week and buy new clothes." But what really tees off pro caddies has little to do with the working conditions. After all, Firestone Country Club isn't exactly a smoke-filled factory. It is a matter of respect. "We're still not treated like first-class citizens," Carrick said.

Most country clubs, for instance, ban caddies from the clubhouse. It's one of the rules Carrick 's association wants to abolish. Among the association's success stories: buying a $53,000 motor home that functions as a caddy's restaurant, replete with gourmet chef; establishing an identification system that makes it easier for caddies to gain admittance to tourneys; landing contracts with sponsors like Nabisco and Foot-Joy that provide the caddies with extra income, and free shoes and visors. There are no plans to lighten the caddies' load, however. "It's all psychological," Carrick said.

"When he's (the boss) playing bad, the bag weighs 100 pounds. When he's playing good, it weighs 10 pounds." Teachers OK Aurora pact Teachers of Aurora public schools approved a three-year contract Friday that will raise their pay more than 13.8 percent by the 1991-92 school year. The contract, which also was approved Friday by the school board, offers a 4 percent increase this year, a 4.8 percent increase for 1990-91 and a 5.08 percent increase for 1991-92. In addition, the contract raises the superintendent's salary from $58,000 to $63,000 a year. The base salary for teachers increases from $19,000 to $19,760 the first year, $20,708 the second year and $21,760 the third year.

Five administrators and 29 support staff will receive the same percentage salary increases. The current contract expires Thursday. There are 98 teachers in the Aurora district. pilot of a bright yellow Piper Cub that he built from a kit. Although the festival is not a competition, the association posts rules to avoid mishaps.

Each pilot must have an observer nearby to check for obstacles in the sky. The planes are to fly no higher than 400 feet, to prevent their colliding with real aircraft, and no more than five planes may fly at one time, to prevent their colliding with one another. "Still, midair collisions do happen," said Barton. "It's kind of discouraging. But at least if you crash one of these, you can still go out for supper Saturday night." At McDonald's, perhaps, since one model plane and its ancillary equipment costs about $2,000.

Barton said the association declines to offer competitions to keep the spirit of the event light. "It's just fun, freestyle flying. You impress them by showing them what you can do with your model," Barton said. Continued from page AS with a hand-held radio that looked like a double joystick. Wild Thing is one of hundreds of miniature, radio-controlled aircraft that can be seen this weekend at the International Miniature Aviation Association festival on the grounds of Chippewa Valley Campground, midway between Westfield Center and Seville.

The festival, which began Friday, continues today and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The campground is on Medina County Road 19, a half-mile west of the interchange of Interstates 71 and 76. Admission is free, but a donation is requested for parking. The association, which claims a membership of 10,000 worldwide, is for model airplane buffs who like to build their birds big.

Wingspans of the aircraft must be at least 6 feet, and many planes boast spans of more than 10 feet. Some weigh as much as 50 pounds. Most run on converted chain-saw engines of five to 15 horsepower and can travel up to 100 miles an hour. "You wouldn't want to get hit with one of these things," said Terry Barton, a festival organizer.
