J.D. Hayworth, R-Ariz. Hayworth, 36 who was at Channel 4 for five years, from 1981 to mid-1986, before heading for another television job in Cincinnati defeated incumbent Democrat Karan English in Arizona's 6th District. He will represent the area around Mesa and North Scottsdale, where he lives with his wife, Mary, and their three children. It will be his first elective office.

Hayworth said he became an active Republican while a student and a football tackle at North Carolina State University. He's from High Point, N.C. Hayworth said he was encouraged to run for then-Rep. Carroll Campbell's 4th Congressional District seat in 1986 when Campbell ran for governor, but while "it was very flattering, it was neither the time nor the place, just in terms of age." While at Channel 4, he emceed various Republican events, including the Greenville County GOP's First Mondays series. "I'd like to thank the people of Greenville for, in a sense, letting me grow up before them on television.

It was a delightful time there." Hayworth said he's well acquainted with Republican Rep. Bob Inglis of Greenville, who arrived on the local scene as he was leaving. "Bob's in the vanguard of the (congressional) reform movement. He's the model of what every freshman in Congress should aspire to be." Hayworth said Bill Clinton's election and a desire to change Congress were the inspirations for leaving his TV job Dec. 31, 1993, to enter the race.

The voters didn't silence wrangling over video poker COLUMBIA (AP) If you thought all the shouting about video gambling would die down now that voters in each county have decided whether cash nings should stay and now that state law regulates the games, think again. Nearly three-quarters of the state's 46 counties voted to let the cash payouts remain legal. Pitched battle Now, operators of game rooms want to do away with regulations that restrict the size of their operations, arguing the law is unconstitutional. The referendums themselves are facing a pitched battle. In at least three Anderson, Pickens and Greenwood of the 12 counties that banned the cash payouts, poker operators say they may appeal election results.

And the entire noisy argument could come back to haunt South Carolina in four more years, if enough petitioners seek a vote in any county. It could happen every two years after that by petition. "Obviously there is some frustration, but I expected it to happen," said state Sen. Wes Hayes, D- Rock Hill, a vehement opponent of the games, whose home county of York voted them down. "There's too much money in there to walk away." Opponents of the games, who waged a grass-roots, churchbased campaign, aren't expected to let the fight be, either.

Fred Collins, one of the state's largest distributors of the games, who said he spent at least 000 of his own money on advertisements to get people to keep cash payouts legal, said he has STAFF ALAN DEVORSEY been warned that opponents will try again in 1998 to ban the Christmas choice games, especially in his hometown of Greenville.

Last year, Operation Warmth served more than 325 households, targeting the elderly and 'Obviously there is some frustration, but I expected it to happen. There's too much money in there to walk -State Sen. Wes Hayes, D-Rock Hill, game opponent after the state Supreme Court ruled in 1991 that cash payouts were legal. Opponents said the games were a moral blight that caused economic fallout from ruined families and careers, but the growing wealth of the industry provided jobs and state revenues.

When lawmakers compromised last year by agreeing on tighter regulations and county-county referendums, they announced an end to three years of contentious argument. But from the start, that wasn't the case. The Palmetto Association of In- dependent Operators went to federal court seeking to overturn pieces of the law. Challenge Most of the law withstood the challenge, though the court eliminated a requirement that more than 50 percent of income in any single business come from sales besides video poker. The same faction of poker operators is going to state court with a challenge for the entire law.

But courts have yet to hear a case brought by Attorney General Travis Medlock, who contends that the games are in violation of the state Constitution's ban on lotteries. Medlock's suit was brought against poker operators in Lancaster, where the games were banned. Greer man dies A Greer man died Friday afternoon at Greenville Memorial Hospital from injuries he received in a Nov. 12 auto wreck. Casswell Leroy Cooper, 65, of 946 Cogin Drive, Greer, died at 5:42 p.m., said Kent Dill of the Greenville County Coroner's Office.

Dill said he is waiting for the results of an autopsy performed Saturday to determine a specific cause of death. Cooper had been in intensive care at the hospital since the accident, which happened at the intersection of Wade Hampton Boulevard and Suber Road, Dill said. A southbound car on Wade Hampton struck the driver's side of Cooper's car. Cooper received a closed head injury and several other injuries, Dill said. MEETINGS Monday: 11 a.m.

Camp Opportunity was founded in 1979 as a non-profit organization to help rebuild the selfesteem of young children traumatized by physical and sexual abuse, as well as the poverty in which many of them live. But Camp Opportunity is more than a camp: through its Shared Blessings project, the holidays are made more joyous by matching area families with children under the care of the Department of Social Services. Project Little Kids at the main branch of the Greenville Library provides an opportunity for children to select and check out three toys at a time including pedal toys, doll strollers, sliding boards, buildings squares, water play toys, puzzles and smaller toys.

The toy program allows children to use developmentally helpful toys at no cost to their families and helps form an early positive interest in the library.
