Elections board answer near on Stein candidacy By Roger Nielsen News Journal sM: i Yv 0. -2 Lm I. eye Mrs. Stein's candidacy was challenged by former Shelby Mayor Garland J.

Gates, who submitted items indicating she lives on Timbercliff Drive, including a canceled check and a ticket order for the Democratic Jefferson-Jackson Day Dinner from the Timbercliff Drive address. Mrs. Stein contended she has dual addresses and will move into the Bowers Road house by primary-election day. She said she and her husband have spent most of the time since January living in a camping trailer at the Bowers Road address. Wednesday, Whitney submitted as evidence three bills addressed to the Steins at the Bowers Road residence, including propane-gas bills for January and March; a March issue of Newsweek; and a mailing from the Richland County Democratic Party.

Stein said all five items of mail had been delivered to the Bowers Road address. He said the couple typically go to the Bowers Road house daily around 9 p.m. and leave around 6 a.m. He said their children often remain with Mrs. Stein's parents at the Timbercliff Drive residence.

Stein and his wife would eat meals in the camping trailer "once in a while," he said. "Well, basically we went out there at night and left in the morning," he explained. Neither Mr. nor Mrs. Stein could recall exactly which nights they spent in the trailer, but both said it had been at least four nights a week this year.

Stein also said he was unaware of the Troy Township zoning requirement for a special permit to live in a trailer temporarily while a new house is under construction. MANSFIELD The Richland County Board of Elections was to meet this morning to write and vote upon a decision about Cassandra M. Stein's request to restore her name to the primary-election ballot. The board adjourned Wednesday following testimony from Mrs. Stein's husband, John.

After consulting with Assistant Prosecutor Michael Murray, board members decided to reconvene today to draft written findings of fact and a decision. After writing the decision, board members Maurice F. "Bud" Gowing, Lucille Critchfield and Kenneth McCartney are expected to cast a public vote on the matter. The fourth board member, John Thomas, is out of town. The hearing is over, but they need time to draft their findings, render a decision and then vote on that, Murray said.

Mrs. Stein's attorney, Robert Whitney, said that if the board rules against her request, he probably will file suit in Richland County Common Pleas Court. Mrs. Stein filed a motion asking the elections board to rescind its March 29 vote striking her name from the ballot as a candidate for the Democratic Central Committee from Troy Township Precinct C. When making that decision, the board cited evidence that Mrs.

Stein is not a resident of Troy C. At issue is whether Mrs. Stein's voting residence is at her new house, 1600 Bowers Road in Troy or at her old house at 1270 Timbercliff Drive in Washington Township. i 0- --JT (tl Mike Truax of Astro Pools Inc. tamps the base of what will be the wading pool at Seltzer Pool in Shelby.

This will allow more intimacy for small children. The expansion will increase the surface area of the main pool by a third. The giant water slide installed last year will stay in its present location. According to Brandstetter and Carroll, building a pool from scratch would cost about $1.5 million.

Instead, the price tag for the reconstructive work totals $330,000. The money comes from park funds and a five-year, 0.5-mill levy. Shepherd said the park had been penny-pinching for nine years in order to afford the project. The board is also selling five-year bonds to citizens to help underwrite the cost of the project. The bonds can be redeemed in five years for the original purchase amount plus interest.

The board opted to sell bonds rather than borrow at high interest rates. Shepherd said the plan is to have the pool work paid off by 1993. The reconstruction project was prompted by a deterioration in the pool's original filter system. That system filtered all water from the bottom of the pool. The new system will remove and filter 80 percent of the surface water and 20 percent of the bottom water.

This will bring the pool up to state standards. The original Seltzer pool was built in the late 1920s by a group of citizens called the Shelby Park Association. In 1929, the city purchased the park and pool from the association for $19,900. Later, the bathhouse and filter house were erected at the lower end of the pool. The reconstruction project is the first major renovation of the pool.

The renovation includes stainless-steel sides, gutters and the filter system. The bottom of the reshaped pool already has been poured, and Shepherd said that, because of good weather, the work is running ahead of schedule for the pool's Memorial Weekend grand opening. The whole reconstruction has taken place around a war memorial. The stone was erected near the pool by a Shelby family whose son died in Vietnam. Before entering the armed forces, the late serviceman had spent much of his time at Seltzer.

The memorial will remain in place during and after reconstruction. Shepherd said the board is planning special rates for the opening of the pool. It also offers season passes, free admission to the baby pool, private lessons, and rental after hours. SHELBY It's the time of year when park systems in the area do their spring cleaning. Planting flowers, trimming bushes, mowing grass.

Some cosmetics make things look more appealing. But at Seltzer Pool in Shelby, major reconstructive surgery is going on. The face lift began in February. The original rectangular-shaped pool is being transformed into an swimming area. "It's like building a pool within a pool," said Denver Shepherd, park-board president.

The stubby end of the will be a diving well, 11 feet deep with two 1-meter boards. The long stem of the will be 5 feet at its deepest, and lVi feet at its most shallow point. The two areas can be roped off, and two different activities can take place at once. After talking with the engineering firm Brandstetter and Carroll from Lexington, the park board chose the new design. The firm specializes in pool building and reconstruction and has worked in Ohio on pools in Upper Sandusky and Bucyrus.

The present bathhouse will remain, but the from a truck owned and operated by Milliron Waste Management Inc. of Mansfield, Olson said a city sanitation truck was parked near the Milliron vehicle when the employees MANSFIELD Chemical fumes that injured five persons at the Richland County Landfill last week have been preliminarily identified as a non-toxic riot-control substance, County Commissioner Edward Olson said Wednesday. "First of all, it's a non-toxic agent, and secondly, it's a riot-control powder," Olson said. Three landfill employees, a city Sanitation Department worker and a Mansfield firefighter were treated at Mansfield General Hospital after being exposed to the chemical April 13 at the landfill on Cairns Road. OHM Inc.

of Findlay took two 8-ounce samples from the landfill Tuesday, and reported its finding by telephone Wednesday to landfill Superintendent Gary Jones. Olson said the county hopes that additional analysis will help determine whether the chemical is available publicly or can only be purchased by police agencies. Though the chemical was reported by landfill workers to have come were exposed. Though only speculation, Olson said an analysis that only police agencies can obtain the chemical might shift suspicion from the Milliron truck to the city truck. "We're now waiting for a written report to come in," he said.

The chemical came from a cylinder that ruptured when a bulldozer ran over a pile of trash at the landfill. Treated were the bulldozer operator, Melvin Cutlip; twoother workers, Howard Beck and Patrick Vance; Bruce Bowers of the City Sanitation Department; and firefighter Jerry L. Majors, who touched his face after examining the cylinder and was treated for an eye burn. The Hazardous Materials unit of the Madison Township Fire Department responded to the chemical spill.

"I think they would be doing themselves a favor if they considered John Glenn and put John Glenn on the ticket with them," he said. Questioned about his own vice presidential aspirations, Gov. Richard F. Celeste said he would recommend Glenn for the post. "If anyone sought my advice I'd say if you're looking to Ohio take John Glenn.

I think John Glenn does far more for (the nominee) than Dick Celeste," the governor said. Cuyahoga County Commissioner Timothy F. Hagan, who lobbied Glenn to run for president, said Celeste would like to see the senator run for vice president so he could appoint himself to the vacant Senate seat. "I think he'd be an excellent vice on the Democratic ticket. Dukakis said he would want a vice presidential nominee to be a "first-rate" potential president, added that Washington experience or a background in foreign and defense policy could be among other top criteria and insisted that consideration of regional background and other political factors would only occur after his substantive concerns were met." Jackson has never said he is interested in the vice presidency, though in the final debate before the primary last Sunday he said, "I will certainly have earned serious consideration." Officially, his position is that he intends to challenge Dukakis through the final primaries on June 7, though some close friends and advisers have begun to urge that Jackson begin thinking about what he wants out of the party's convention in July.

Michael S. Dukakis closing in on the nomination, there is growing speculation that he will need a running mate from the South, such as Tennessee Sen. Albert Gore or Arkansas Sen. Dale Bumpers. However, Glenn supporters say his national name recognition, astronaut background and moderate political philosophy would balance the ticket well.

John Glenn is not discouraging growing speculation that he would be a good running mate for the Democratic presidential nominee.

However, while Glenn's name is being mentioned more frequently among Ohio Democrats, there is no movement to put the senator's name at the top of the list of candidates to fill the second spot on the ticket. "He hasn't solicited anything," press secretary Martha DiSario said. "However, what he's said all his political life is he likes to keep his options open."

President Ed Kline addressed the commissioners Wednesday, explaining that the property could be used for industry, a new jail or a solid waste transfer station, among other possibilities. Kline said the title of the property would not be transferred to the CIC.

The organization would simply act on behalf of the commissioners to sell the property. Within the next two weeks, the CIC will develop a proposal and return to the commissioners, who would not commit to the idea Wednesday.
