10-ARIZONA DAILY SUN, Flagstaff, Arizona, Thursday, September 25, 1997 Associated Press Larry Beasly of the Marana Public Works Department piles filled sandbags Wednesday in anticipation of flooding by Hurricane Nora in NORA From Page 1 Stalnaker said. "The situation keeps changing. But if something comes up we'll be able to handle it immediately." One area of special concern in Oak Creek Canyon is Slide Rock State Park. But the park is open today and all operations are normal, said park manager Steve Pace, although that could change. "We are monitoring the weather," Pace said.

"We are operating under a (flash flood) watch. Once we get to a (flash flood) warning, we'll recommend that people not go into the swim area." The Navajo Nation has also issued a flood advisory for the southwest and central parts of the reservation, as dry creek beds could fill up quickly. Elsewhere in Arizona, people filled sandbags, stockpiled food, water, flashlights and rain gear. Some tied down patio furniture and other potential missiles. All were getting ready for a tropical storm.

In a scene more fitting for Florida's Gulf Coast, Arizonans found themselves in the unexpected situation of anticipating up to 8 inches of rain from the remnants of Hurricane Nora today, along with high winds. in the state's southwestern corner, was expected to be at ground zero as Nora's remnants entered the United States. Rainfall there was expected to be up to 5 inches Yuma's normal annual rainfall is 3.6 inches. Schools were closed in Yuma and residents hurriedly stuffed sandbags. Many other communities readied for the storm, especially in northern Arizona, where mountains could wring even more rain out of the storm.

"Think of it: as a large monsoon storm," said Mike Austin, Arizona's director of emergency management, referring to the winds and sudden downpours typical of late summer. what we're getting is a lot of monsoon storms." Arizona Gov. Jane Hull sent National Guard trucks, generators and trailers that can carry gallons of potable water to Yuma, where the tag end of Nora was expected late today. Other troops were on standby. The Red Cross already sent in a disaster team.

"We want to be safe, we want to be prepared, we want to be ready," Mrs. Hull said. The Tohono O'odham Nation evacuated about two dozen families in isolated villages on both sides of the U.S.-Mexican border on Wednesday and canceled classes for all reservation schools through Friday. As rain slowly increased across Arizona and flash flood warnings proliferated, emergency officials Lois O. Hudman Lois O.

Hudman, 78, a resident of Flagstaff for 18 years, died Sept. 21, 1997 in Phoenix. Mrs. Hudman spent her first 60 years in Brentwood, Calif. Graveside memorial services are Oct.

8 at 11 a.m. at Brentwood Union Cemetery in California. Mrs. Hudman is survived by daughter Avene Eyestone and son-inlaw Rolland Eyestone of Scottsdale and Flagstaff, grandchildren Suzanne Skipton of Phoenix, Cambria Denlinger of Oakley, Jason Eyestone of Phoenix and Chantel Beckwith of Flagstaff. Clinton had fund-raising breakfasts in 1994 By JOHN SOLOMON Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON Before Vice President Al Gore ever picked up a telephone in the White House to ask.

for contributions or the president entertained donors over coffee in his residence, there were breakfasts. "BC will have breakfast to raise $," then House deputy chief of staff Harold Ickes wrote in notes of a May 9, 1994, meeting with the president that detail the earliest known effort by Clinton to use the White House for fund-raising. Questioned about the document obtained by The Associated Press, the White House confirmed Wednesday that President and Mrs. Clinton hosted at least 10 breakfasts or lunches in 1994 in the executive residence. The events were specifically designed to generate "both political and financial support" for the Democratic Party's ad campaign on behalf of the Clintons' ill-fated health care initiative, special counsel Lanny Davis said.

Their disclosure comes as Attorney General Janet Reno is weighing whether to appoint an independent prosecutor to determine whether the president's and vice president's fundraising from the White House violated a century-old prohibition on solicitations inside government buildings. Several of the donors who attended the 1994 breakfasts gave fiveand six-figure donations in the days after their visits, Federal Election Commission records show. Some attendees said Clinton did not specifically ask for donations at breakfast. One said solicitations would have occurred later. "Absolutely not," Washington lawyer Gerald McGowan said when asked whether Clinton asked him for money during a June 22, 1994, breakfast.

Six days later, McGowan wrote a $35,000 check that went to the Democratic National Committee's health care fund. He said he didn't even know his money had gone to the health care fund. "I'm an old friend of the president's and I gave money and I was more than delighted to do it," he said. The White House defended the breakfasts as legal. Moreover, they said the Clintons' goal wasn't to raise money for their own political use but rather to air ads to repel special interest attacks against their plan seeking universal health care.

"This was a fight about securing health care for every American and competing with an avalanche that was being used to defeat the president's initiative," Davis said. But internal White House documents reviewed by AP made no bones about the breakfasts being fund-raising events. "We need to schedule several additional breakfasts with the President to facilitate the additional fund-raising for the health care media campaign," Ickes wrote then-Chief of Staff Mack McLarty on May 7, 1994, in a memo entitled "scheduling fundraising events." Davis said the president attended at least eight such breakfasts, the first on May 5, 1994, and the last on Aug. 23, 1994. Mrs.

AP were watching the San Francisco River near Clifton in far eastern Arizona and the Gila River, which was flowing nearly bank-full between New Mexico and the San Carlos Reservoir east of Phoenix as a result of weekend rain upstream.

Safford, Thatcher and Duncan were mopping up from similar weekend rain while hoping Nora wouldn't hit them hard. "When they start talking about 4 to 6 inches of rain, we get real worried," said Greenlee County Supervisor Fred Zumwalt. "Even 3 inches would flood Duncan." Southern Arizona wasn't the only area concerned. New Mexico began taking emergency precautions on Wednesday, and weather forecasters were warning that the northern half of Arizona could find itself hit as Nora moved farther northward than initially had been expected. Meanwhile, television stations across Arizona advised people where they could get sandbags.

In Yuma, lines were steady all day as firefighters' shovels flashed. They had a half-million sandbags available. "We're getting a multitude of stories and they're all different as to how much rain to By the time Nora smacks the desert Southwest late today, if it does as expected, it should have been downgraded to a tropical storm. It still would be capable of dropping more rain in 24 hours than some areas of the region get in a year. It's been about two decades since a similar storm has hit Arizona.

In September 1976, Hurricane Kathleen followed a similar path. With winds up to 76 mph, Kathleen washed away much of the community of Ocotillo, killed one person in the Yuma area, destroyed several small airplanes and caused heavy flood damage in Bullhead City. Another powerful storm, Hurricane Joanne, swept across Baja and the Gulf of California in September 1972, entering Arizona near the community of border community of Lukeville. That storm produced heavy rain throughout the state, including 4 inches as far north as Payson. Obituaries Arrangements are by Hansen, Mortuary, Phoenix.

Records show public not told about meat recalls By CURT ANDERSON AP Farm Writer WASHINGTON Since 1990, as much as 20.2 million pounds of meat and poultry has been recalled because of contamination ranging from bacteria to bits of metal, and the public was never told, Agriculture Department records show.

In one nonpublic 1993 case, Quaker Oats Co. recalled more than 1.8 million pounds of chili because of potential contamination with sand. More than 400,000 pounds was not recovered, according to an Associated Press review of the records. In another large case that had no public notice, Bil Mar Foods of Zeeland, recalled more than 1.2 million pounds of cooked beef because of possible bacteria problems in 1994. Almost 900,000 pounds of that beef was not recovered.

In 1 all, 142 of the 262 federal meat and poultry recalls between 1990 and 1997 were not publicly announced, the records show. They do not show where the meat was distributed before the recall. But the Agriculture Department usually does not make any public announcements about recalls involving products that were distributed to restaurants or school cafeterias or were sitting in warehouses or on trucks and were not sold a at retail to consumers. "It would not be identifiable by the consumer because they don't have it in a package that they can identify it," Jill Hollingsworth, a USDA deputy administrator involved in recalls, said Wednesday. But consumer advocates say it is time for the Agriculture Department to rethink its policy, pointing out that someone could become ill from eating a -laced burger at a restaurant or a school cafeteria and never know the product had been recalled.

"It is not enough to just tell the restaurant there's a problem. It does make sense for the public to be notified," said Caroline Smith DeWaal, food safety director at the Center for Science in the Public Interest. "Consumers need to know." The Agriculture Department held a public meeting Wednesday to discuss its current recall policies and hear from advocates such as DeWaal, along with representatives of meat industry groups. Catherine Woteki, USDA's undersecretary for food safety, said the session would help the agency determine whether changes such as wider public notification are necessary. Mrs.

Peres was the wife of Frank Peres of Cornville. She is also survived by sons Kenneth (Beverly) Muns and Jim (Linda) Muns, both of Flagstaff, brother B.A. Parker of Ajo, grandsons Greg (Geneva) Muns of El Paso, Texas, and Todd, Ryan and Colin Muns, all of Flagstaff, and great-grandson Brandon Kyle Muns of El Paso.

Reed of Springhill Missionary Baptist Church passed away Sept. 22, 1997. Viewing is Saturday at 11:30 a.m. and services are noon at the Church of the Nazarene, 2250 E. Soliere Ave.

"Our primary motivation for those policies is protecting the public health," Woteki said in an interview. "If there are things that we could do that would better protect the public health, we would certainly change our policy." Meat and poultry products involved in the unpublicized recalls had many problems, according to USDA records. Some were recalled because of possible bacterial contamination, others because they contained small pieces of bone, metal or plastic. And others were improperly labeled or had defective containers, the USDA records show.

That was the case last month when Hudson Foods Inc. recalled 25 million pounds of ground beef because of possible E. coli contamination. Some of that beef was sold at retail.

Instead, officials work privately within the food service industry to determine who has control of the bad product and to get it out of the system, said the USDA's Hollingsworth. Industry officials said meat processors are the ones that would lose if all recalls were publicized, even those in which public health is not endangered. They said companies have every reason to work with government to remove the bad meat. "There's a tremendous economic R. Thomas Jr.
