i V'z New subdivision rules discussed 5T JJ? drum up public awareness about the subdivision changes after just two citizens showed up at the LCPC'i hearing on the regulations. Meanwhile, the planning commission is preparing for the July 23 meeting at which a countywide telephone system will be discussed. It is hoped officials from the telephone companies in the county will attend and possibly from the Ohio Public Utilities Commission. It is an attempt to learn what equipment and expense is necessary to minimize the amount of long-distance calling within the county. The commission also discussed what kind of roads are suitable in a subdivision.

The current standard of full-depth asphalt is "very expensive," noted County Commissioner Philip Shipley. But, Shipley voiced support for maintaining the standard rather than lowering it to permit chip-and-seal roads. "Chip and seal does not hold," Lima Township Trustee Melvin Foor said. The commission decided to not change its road requirements' for subdivisions. Next month's meeting of the Licking County Planning Commission was the chief topic at Monday's meeting of the land-planning group.

The commission barely obtained a quorum Monday and the focus was on next month when two major meetings involving subdivision regulations and countywide telephone service are slated. The Licking County commissioners will conduct a public hearing July 16 on proposed changes which toughen the county's subdivision regulations. The measures will impose stricter standards and rules on subdivision developers. The LCPC already has held its public hearing on the matter and approved the changes, which now must be considered by the commissioners. The county panel's public hearing is set for 7:30 p.m.

Tom Frederick, assistant planning director, said 157 notices of the meeting have been sent out to township, real estate and development officials, as well as others.

Laughlin suspended an S-to-15 year prison term Monday for a Newark woman who stabbed her husband during a dispute on April 21.

Bertie M. Cornell, 43, of 23'4 Jefferson pleaded guilty to felonious assault in the case on June 19 in Licking County Common Pleas Court. Monday, Laughlin placed her on five years probation, with provisions that she serve 50 hours of community service, continue counseling for alcohol abuse and stay out of establishments which serve alcohol.

Fireworks cause 8,000 injuries GRANVILLE More than 8,000 persons were treated for fireworks-related injuries last year over the Fourth of July, the Ohio Affiliate of the National Society to Prevent Blindness points out. William Hickman, chairman of the society's eye safety committee, warns, "Fireworks are not toys Not surprisingly, last year nearly three out of four injury victims were 5 to 24 years old." the leading causes of "backyard accidents" are Class fireworks firecrackers, cherry bombs, M-80s, salutes, Roman candles and fountains. Even sparklers can be dangerous, he said. Radiating 1800-degree heat from sharp metal sticks, sparklers can burn or penetrate eyes, he said. The Ohio Legislature has taken measures to slow the spread of Class fireworks.

A one-year moratorium was declared on the issuance of new licenses for fireworks factories and retail outlets. Traffic fatalities decrease Traffic deaths continue to lag behind 1983 totals, according to the most recent tallies available from the Ohio Department of Highway Safety. So far this year, 599 people have died in accidents on state roadways, representing a decrease of 21 from the 620 deaths recorded during the same period in 1983. During the week of June 10 to 16, the most recent week for which figures are available, 22 motorists lost thier lives in traffic collisions. During the same week last year, 36 traffic deaths were reported.

To date, 249 victims have died in alcohol-related accidents, compared to 290 deaths linked to alcohol in 1983. Garage fire destroys truck HEBRON A Friday evening fire in a garage located at the Hebron wastewater plant resulted in the destruction of a dump truck, but minor damage to the garage itself, according to Kevin Weekly, Hebron volunteer firefighter. The fire was discovered about 4:35 p.m. when Weekly who was delivering supplies to Williams Restaurant on Ohio 79 noticed thick, black smoke coming from the next-door wastewater property. Further inspection revealed that a dump truck inside the garage had caught fire, Weekly said.

The Hebron fire department was called to the scene, where firefighters remained for approximately one hour, Weekly said. Damage to the property had not been estimated at press time. ALL YOU AN EAT.

Black, Advocate Dillion receives state FFA award Immigration bill Ohio delegation I divides Navarre, said he voted against the bill because he felt the amnesty provision was too lenient. He called the provision "an injustice to those who are waiting in line." Regula added, however, that he may end up supporting the measure if the legalization requirement is toughened in a House-Senate conference committee. Rep. Douglas Applegate, D-Steubenville, also voted against the bill because of objections to the amnesty provision for illegal aliens. "It's the principle of it," Applegate explained.

"Quite frankly, they don't belong here. They haven't earned it." He added that unemployment in his ease-central Ohio district remains quite high, and people don't Tike to see foreigners "challenge Americans for work." Rep. Michael DeWine, R-Cedarville, who voted for the bill, said he though there was "a tremendous amount of misunderstanding" about the amnesty provision. The provision does not make the illegal aliens instant citizens, he noted; they would have wait five years after becoming permanent-resident aliens. Under the House-passed bill, illegal aliens would become permanent residents only if they were employed, studying "5 -J hV i Ohioans who supported the measure said it was needed to help the U.S.

regain control of its borders, and it represented the best achievable political compromise. Ohioans who opposed the bill generally objected to the provision which would legalize aliens who entered before 1981, granting them temporary-resident status for two years. All of the lawmakers interviewed agreed the bill will have minimal impact on Ohio, except for a bit of extra paperwork for employers of four or more workers. Rep. Ralph Regula, R- collision.

According to reports from the Granville post of the Ohio Highway Patrol, Ms. Anderson was southbound on Ohio 13 at 2:51 p.m. when she began to turn left into a private driveway. Wolfe passed two cars behind Ms. Anderson, troopers report, and hit her car in the side.

Mrs. Wright said the work will be done at the expense of the Meijer Corporation by private contractors, pending the approval of Newark City Council. The Meijer Corporation would then purchase the traffic signal from the city for $1, with the city responsible for maintenance. The plan will also require that Meijers relocate their existing driveway to intersect with 21st Street at South Pierson Boulevard. By BILL STERNBERG Advocate Washington Bureau WASHINGTON The immigration reform bill passed by the House last week divided Ohio's usually predictable congressional delegation in unpredictable ways.

Ohio's 10 Democratic congressmen split 5-5 on the bill; the state's 11 Republican congressmen supported the controversial measure by a 7-4 margin. The bill, approved on a 216-211 vote, would grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens already in the U.S. and impose fines on employers who hire undocumented workers. 1 i Ohio representatives supporting the immigration bill were DeWine, Kasich, Dennis Eckart, D-Mentor, Edward Feighan, D-Cleveland, Thomas Luken, D-Cincinnati, Donald Pease, D-Oberlin, John Seiberling, D-Akron, Willis Gradison, R-Cincinnati, Bob McEwen, R-Hillsboro, Clarence Miller, R-Lancaster, Michael Oxley, R-Findlay, and Chalmers Wylie, R-Columbus. Voting against final passage of the bill were Applegate, Regula, Tony Hall, D-Dayton, Marcy Kaptur, D-Toledo, Mary Rose Oakar, D-Cleveland, Louis Stokes, D-Cleveland, Thomas Kindness, R-Hamilton, Delbert Latta, R-Bowling Green, and Lyle Williams, R-Warren.

Kindness, a senior Republican on the Judiciary Committee, said the unusual division in the delegation was an excellent indication of just how controversial the legislation was. Kindness said he voted against the measure because of the added paperwork' burden for employers and what he felt was an overlv, lenient amnesty provision. During debate on the immigration bill, the House voted to remove from the measure a Kindness amendment that would have diluted the record-keeping requirement for employers. The grant was awarded via the state's Emergency Medical Services Program through the Ohio Department of Health.

The newly legalized immigrants would have to wait five years to become eligible for federal financial asssistance programs. DeWine, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, where the bill originated, said the measure "seemed to be the best possible solution to the problem that could get through Congress." The first-term congressman said the U.S. has neither the will nor the resources to deport the estimated 8 million illegal aliens now in the country. "Whether or not you grant amnesty, these people are going to be in this we try to incorporate them into, the system? he commented. DeWine added that continuing to ignore the problem, could trigger a dangerous backlash against all aliens and minorities.

Rep. John Kasich, R-Westerville, said he supported the bill because illegal immigration is "a very serious national problem." As for departing all the illegal aliens, rather than granting them amnesty, Kasich said, "It's not going to happen. You have to be practical. You have to be realistic." serves 6,000 residents and covers 148 square miles of area in Licking County. Last year, the service responded to 298 emergency calls.

AP Huge bear terrorizes town BOULDER, Colo. (AP) A 250-pound black bear with a tranquilizer hangover and sore posterior was back in the woods today after spending a wild and crazy night in a Boulder neighborhood. The male bear led police, fire, wildlife, and Humane Society officers on a three-hour chase Thursday night before it was finally captured in the stairwell of a northwest Boulder home. "We went on a wild bear chase," Gary Berlin, a Colorado Division of Wildlife officer, said Friday. After its capture, the tranquilized bear was hauled "way up Sunshine Canyon" and placed under a tree, Berlin said.

He said the bear was gone when he returned to the site Friday. Police asked curious residents to stay a block away from the bruin as it alternately sat in trees and scurried through the neighborhood Thursday night. After two tranquilizer darts were shot into the bear's rear, it "half crawled and half fell" from the tree. When the animal dropped, the group of about 10 pursuers scattered. "A bear can run as fast as a horse, and this one did," Berlin said.

The drugged animal fell from two more trees before being captured. ALEXANDRIA A state grant for $1,200 has been approved for emergency medical services in the village.
