0.00 0.00 0.00 000 0.00 School board bans apple sales NEW YORK (AP) Students may still bring apples for their favorite teachers, but they won't be able to buy them in the school cafeteria, officials have decided in reaction to reports of possible health risks. The Board of Education, which feeds students in 1,200 public and parochial schools, has barred the sale of apples in lunchrooms over fears that they are treated with a cancer-causing pesticide, New York News- day reported today. "We have conflicting information," a high-ranking board official, who asked to remain anonymous, told Newsday. "The apple processors say they don't use (the pesticide) Alar. The media says they do.

"In the meantime, to maintain a high confidence level, we took them off the market," the official said. Apple juice and sauce, however, are still being served. Last year, 13 million apples were sold or distributed to public and parochial school students in New York City.

Main Rain, snow making East Coast a mess By The Associated Press Rain and snow dampened the Eastern Seaboard from Florida to Maryland early today and cold northwest winds created snow drifts up to six feet deep in Minnesota. A mixture of rain, sleet and snow extended from Maryland to South Carolina, while light rain was falling in southeastern Georgia and the Florida Peninsula. A winter storm warning was in effect this morning for the northern coast and midlands of South Carolina, and extended to this evening for central and northern coastal areas of North Carolina. A gale warning was in effect for the coastal areas of Virginia and North Carolina, with a coastal flood warning posted for the Outer Banks of North Carolina. A cold front along the nation's northern tier was bringing freezing rain to northeastern North Dakota.

An advisory for freezing rain and blowing snow was in effect for northwestern Minnesota, where some highways were buried under 6-foot snowdrifts. A storm was bringing showers to northern and central California and producing snow at higher elevations in the Sierra Nevada range and in the Lake Tahoe area of Nevada.

Early morning temperatures were mainly in single digits and the teens, with subzero readings in northern Michigan, upstate New York and northern New England. Today's forecast called for rain in South Carolina, northeast Georgia and southern Florida.

Snow was predicted for much of North Carolina into south central and eastern Virginia.
