The Indiana County program serves more than 2,000 families, providing health, nutrition, education, parent involvement and social services.

Parent representatives of the county Head Start are Clark Randolph, Homer City; Karen Peace, West Lebanon; Irzha Krajnak, Armagh; Brenda Muir, Homer City; Faith Gunder, Blairsville; Kelly McDivitt, Indiana; Jackie Palmer, Clymer, Martha Goss, Commodore; Sandy Harber, Indiana; and Laurie Russo, Lucernemines.

The alternate representative is Irzha Krajnak. Westmoreland County district attorney is asking state legislators to change a statute that bars people convicted of perjury from testifying in Pennsylvania courts. The ban led the state Supreme Court to overturn a conviction for a Westmoreland County businessman in a plot to kill an environmental official. District Attorney John Driscoll suggested the change last week in a letter to state Rep. Thomas Caltagirone, a Democrat from Reading and chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.

The prosecutor said federal law permits a perjurer to testify if the perjury conviction is revealed to jurors as an indicator of the witnesses' credibility. Driscoll said Pennsylvania's rule jeopardizes prosecutions of conspirators in murder-for-hire schemes. "Though it may seem farfetched, anyone with a perjury conviction can now be sought out as a hit man because the, perjurer can never provide information against anyone," he said. The Supreme Court ordered a new trial for landfill operator Nikolai Zdrale of Greensburg because jurors heard from a man who said Brad Smith talked about a $40,000 payment for trying to kill Charles Duritsa. Duritsa, the western Pennsylvania director of the Department of Environmental Resources, was not killed.

Smith, of South Greensburg, was convicted of lying to a grand jury in 1980. The panel was investigating a theft of titanium. Rep. Herman Mihalich, a Democrat from Rostraver Township, said former attorneys in the Legislature are divided on Driscoll's suggestion. He said former prosecutors favor it, while former defense attorneys are opposed.

Rep. Allen Kukovich, a Democrat from Manor, said he will introduce Driscoll's change as a bill next year. (AP) Salsgiver joins ROTC camp Jennifer D. Salsgiver, daughter of Robert D. and Helen L.
