C7 HAMPTON ROADS Sale lina stores, Ribble said. Originally held in a tent on Virginia Beach Boulevard, the sale became so popular. Hit or Miss eventually incorporated merchandise from all of its nearly 600 stores across the country. Ribble said the company starts planning the next sale a few months after each year's event ends. By July, managers are busy hiring local temporary employees and gathering merchandise.

The company has five Hampton Roads stores, all located on the Southside except for a store in Williamsburg Outlets Mall just outside of Williamsburg.

"These (July) numbers seem to tell us that the retailers that are better at selling than others are posting strong gains no matter what the economy is doing," Cooper said. "But the more average ones, particularly the big department stores, are seeing sales slow along with the economy." Large department stores, which sell such items as furniture and appliances, are suffering more from the slowdown in housing and durables sales than the specialty retailers. rr-.

He said the facility will be designed for older people who need help with some daily tasks but who do not require intensive medical supervision.

"It will be assisted living," Dechert said. "Our people will help them get out of bed, get dressed, help them with medications." Dechert already operates 12 such homes in Tidewater, but the Governors Inn would be his first on the Peninsula. The City Council must still approve Dechert's proposal, but the Oyster Point Development Corp. has given its approval, Apelt said. He said the home will have little impact on traffic, and said-its location, near the edge of the park and the Bernard Village subdivision, should be convenient for residents.

Apelt said the development corporation also approved plans by Automatic Equipment Sales of Norfolk, Inc. to buy a four-acre plot on Middle Ground Boulevard and build a 20,000 to 25,000 square-foot showroom and warehouse. Automatic Equipment, a heating and air conditioning equipment firm, will pay $340,000 for the site, which is now vacant, Apelt said. 1.5936 Ijm 1.5930 1.5878 1.5920 1.5868 30-dav fwd .6275 .6295 60-doytwd .6277 .6298 90-dav fwd .6281 .6302 Vuanclnu .08961 .08961 11.16 11.16 NOTE: ECU European Currency Unit, a basket of Europedn currencies.

"Some people are looking at the prices and driving off," she said Wednesday. "One lady came in and said she was told it was made of 100 percent coal and couldn't understand why we were raising the price." CTC is spending $1.7 million for an expansion of its liquid coal processing facility, Wolfe said. He said the next step is to open a plant to process more than 1,000 tons of coal each day. Wolfe said he hoped Middle East problems "will awaken the American public to the need to develop our own alternative fuel sources."
