(T.R. Gleason, The Advocate) Applegate plans to retire from Congress this year future bright By MARK MORETTI Advocate Reporter NEWARK Newark is in excellent shape, Mayor Frank Stare said in the annual State of the City message. The state of the our city is excellent," Stare told City Council Monday. "We have a balanced budget, crime is down, unemployment is down and our citizens continue to enjoy a great quality of life." Stare said that across the nation downtown areas are struggling to survive. Newark is atypical, he said.

"Working with the Newark Downtown Association, our city is moving forward and finding ways to reinvigorate our downtown area," he said. He cited an agreement with the NDA to develop the Downtown Facade Beautification Program. The downtown is cleaner and safer with easier to see crosswalks and new landscaping, he said. "All in all, Newark's downtown is doing quite well with 16, yes, 16 new businesses opening their doors in 1993," he said. Recreational oppportunities improved in 1993, Stare said.

He pointed to improvements at Everett Park and the installation, with the help of the Evans Foundation, of new basketball courts at Buena Vista and East Main Street. Newark remains a popular place for development, he said. At least 10 subdivisions have been reviewed and inspected by the city with more to come this year, he said. Stare said the closing of Newark Air Force Base was a setback but that the city will overcome it and continue to grow." Coordinated through the city's Community Development office, the offering of tax abatements helped seven projects get under way, he said. The $477,000 in projects included warehouses, new homes and additions, he said.

"In 1994, we will continue offering enterprise zones, tax abatements and a revolving loan program to help create new jobs," he said. i Going into 1994, the city is increasing personnel in the fire and police departments, he said, and new equipment also is being areas of the 18th Congressional District. Licking County was added to the 18th District in 1992. The eastern half of the county, including Newark and Heath, was previously represented by former U.S. Rep.

Clarence Miller of Lancaster. The 1990 census cost Ohio two congressional districts. In the political remapping, Miller lost his district and his territory was added to Applegate's. Applegate is a former state representative, first elected out of Jefferson County in 1960 and then in 1968 to the state Senate. In 1976 he was elected to Congress and took office in 1977, succeeding longtime eastern Ohio lawmaker Wayne L.

Hays. Applegate said his time in Congress was the "most gratifying and rewarding experience in my life." Several Republicans are likely to contest the 18th District seat. GOP rumors suggest Muskingum College president Sam Speck, a former state senator, as one possibility. Another is state Sen. Robert Ney, also of Belmont County.

The 18th District has been under Democratic control for almost 'A 40 years, spanning most of Hays' and Applegate's tenure. The district is heavily Democratic, partic-ularly along the Ohio River counties where miners and mill workers are unionized and have long been in the Democratic column. Applegate, 65, had some advice for his aging colleagues: make room for younger blood. "The institution is changing and it is time for younger people to take the reins of government and lead us into the next century," Applegate said. "I would further suggest that other older members of Congress consider this (retiring) as well." Also Monday, Rep.

Tom Lewis, a Florida Republican who has served 1 1 years in the House, said he would not seek re-election in November Applegate and his wife, Betty, are the parents of two sons. The 18th District includes Belmont, Carroll, Coshocton, Guernsey, Harrison, Jefferson, Monroe, Morgan, Muskingum, Noble, Perry and Tuscarawas counties and portions of Licking and Columbiana counties. ices for Licking County children and adolescnets.

The house is owned by Jerry Steele of Newark. Early this morning crews were called out to 1 E. National Drive on a chimney fire that spread to an outside wall. Newark firefighters were called out around 7:15 a.m. and had the fire contained within a few minutes, Stickle said.

The house is owned by Cynthia Hollar. By LARRY FUGATE Advocate Reporter STEUBENVILLE Eastern Licking County will be getting another congressman in 1995 after incumbent Douglas Applegate bowed out after 17 years on Capitol Hill. A mad scramble is expected among Democrats to succeed Applegate, whose hometown is Steu-benville on the Ohio River. Applegate's seat is up for election this year. It had been rumored that Apple-gate would not seek re-election.

So far no names from Licking County have emerged as possible candidates. Rumored contenders are mostly from the Democratic bailiwick of eastern Ohio. Jim Hart, Applegate's longtime aide, a resident of Belmont, Ohio, is considered a leading contender and Applegate's favorite. Another Belmont County native rumored to be considering the race is state Rep. Jack Cera of Bellaire.

If any Licking County candidate would emerge, the candidate would have a hard time connecting with voters in established Calendar Krafty Krafters Krafty Krafters will meet from 9 a.m. to noon each Wednesday morning and again Wednesday evening from 7 to 10 p.m. at the McKean Township House.

"In 1994, we will move forward and enter into a community policing program which possibly could see the creation of a bicycle patrol and a mobile police station," he said.

Stare said the city's anti-drug efforts are moving forward as well as his administration's commitment to Newark's youth, and he cited the creation of the Mayor's Youth Council. 1994 should be an excellent year, and we intend to stay in close touch with all of you and work with you personally to see that the needs of your constituents and mine are met," he told council.

Monday, firefighters were called to 1 1-B S. Sixth St. on a garage fire. Crews fought the flames in the vacant garage for more than an hour in the snow and wind. Authorities say the fire is suspicious, according to Asst.

The resultant pressure and the consequent potential for optic nerve damage are characteristic of glaucoma. Once this disese is diagnosed, the ophthalmologist may treat it either with medication, surgery, or a combination of the two. Glaucoma filtration surgery involves making an opening for excess eye fluid to drain either into surrounding blood vessels or out through the tear ducts. In about half of the cases, filtration patients no longer need medicaiton to control glaucoma.

In 35 to 40 percent of the cases, control of glaucoma is better, though some medication is still needed. Additional surgery is required in 1 0 to 1 5 percent of the cases. Glaucoma, as you know, can damage your sight if it goes untreated. People at high risk include those with diabetes or those who have relatives with glaucoma. If you have a family history of the disease, you should have your eyes checked regularly by an ophthalmologist.
