Former Iran hostage has some questions on 'Jeopardy' IT l-j 1V1 ago, seeing caused a double-take at the screen. Was this the same guy we knew back then? on his own initiative, no less. And he seemed to have such a good time. His brother, Victor Lauterbach, and sister-in-law, Mary Lauterbach, who live in Dayton, had been tipped by Steven and were able to watch the pre-taped show.

"It's just something Steve always wanted to do," Mary said. "It was a dream he had, and he did it. He said he really enjoyed it. It was fun for him." Fun, but not so lucrative. Lauterbach won the preliminary round, but alas, his per- sonal expertise in international situations didn't pay off in the final round.

The last question: "During World War I this singer raised several million dollars for the Italian Red Cross." Correct answer: Who is Caruso? (Enrico, 1837-1921.) Lauterbach's response: Who is Lanza? (Mario, 1921-59.) So he ended his latest claim to fame with a handshake from Trebek and the promise of some "exciting parting gifts." And it certainly raises an interesting thought for those of us who interviewed him all those years ago: Maybe we would have gotten more out of him if we'd asked our questions backward, Jeopardy- style. few weeks he will move to a new assignment with the U.S. Embassy in Botswana, Africa. Lauterbach spoke to Trebek on Tuesday of being held captive by the Iranians, along with 52 other Americans for 444 days. That was followed by a resounding hero's homecoming in January 1981.

Unlike many of the other hostages, Lauterbach has refused to write a public memoir. He has tried to fit quietly back into life's mainstream, working with his wife, Marie Paule, to raise their son, Mark, 11, and daughter, Claire, 8.

Gem City i fflmiiiig tarf for band's music video By Jonathan Brlnckman and Debra Jasper DAYTON DAILY NEWS Taking a step that could lead to the closure of Montgomery County's two garbage incinerators, Dayton city commissioners Wednesday night unanimously voted to fund a study of the city's garbage options.

"This is probably one of the more critical studies we can have given the skepticism about the retrofit," Commissioner Dean Lovelace said. "This has a tremendous impact on the taxpayer." Montgomery County commissioners last fall approved a $113 million plan paid for with county tax dollars to overhaul its incinerators in Moraine and Vandalia. The overhaul would bring the burners up to standards set by the Clean Air Act and fend off a $1.5 million fine levied by the Ohio attorney general's office. The plan would cost all county homeowners $27.50 this year up from $16 in 1993 and that figure is expected to rise to $40 a year by 1996. However, county officials concede they will be unable to go forward if the plan is not approved by Dayton, the single largest source of garbage in Montgomery County.

The attorney general's office has said unless the county commits to upgrading the incinerators, it will close them. Without the incinerators, the county solid waste department would be forced to send garbage to out-of-county landfills, an option favored by those who believe that incinerators send dangerous chemicals into the air. County officials and environmentalists agree that incineration costs more than landfilling. It's SEE GARBAGE2B 1981 FILE PHOTO Lauterbach: Didn't have lots to say after release.

Jim Greer, Guided By Voices' bassist, said that the band opted for a concept video instead of a performance clip to emphasize the songs instead of the musicians. "You're not selling the band so much, you're selling the music. It's still selling, but it's focused on the right thing." Guitarist Tobin Sprout said the shoot involved a lot more standing around waiting in the cold than the band had planned. The band members stood in a circle to keep warm between shots, discussing episodes of MTV's Beavis and Butt-head.

Kelley 's attorney, Charles A Smiley said he was "shocked" by the ruling and said he would urge Kelley's family to appeal. Smiley said the "technical, scientific and factual evidence" he presented at trial showed that Daquan was alive after the alleged suffocation. But prosecutors only needed to show that Kelley was reckless and endangered the child.

Murphy said they met this burden. He said Kelley, by "physically restraining the child in a cruel manner for a prolonged period created a substantial risk of physical harm to the child and that this endangering was the proximate cause of the death of Daquan Honaker." rv New York-based independent record label distributed by Atlantic Records, is footing the bill, according to Pollard.

Matador, a Residency rale wrecks' Riverside administrator Teen delinquent By Jim Babcock DAYTON DAILY NEWS Just eight months after hiring its first administrator, the new city of Riverside is preparing to begin a search for a new one. Administrator Bill Covell has been forced from office by a law that required him to become a Riverside resident within six months of his appointment, Riverside Mayor Kenneth Curp said Wednesday.

Curp said the question of whether he and the City Council were happy with Covell's performance had no bearing on the situation, and he insisted that the administrator's departure is not a firing.
