Alba-Golden ISO Trustees Approve Policy Changes ALBA The Alba-Golden school board voted to approve the adoption of two school policies to comply with changes requested by Texas Education Association Update 28, Superintendent Elton Caldwell said Friday. "The first change dealt with grade reduction (or make-up work done after a suspension," Caldwell said. "The board adopted a minimum of a 30-point penalty for all make up work turned in late due to a suspension. The highest grade that could be made on work in that case is a 70." In a Thursday the school board also approved middle school graduation requirements, suggested by the state, Caldwell said. The requirements now read that in order for middle school students to be promoted, three of the four solid classes (math, science, social studies and English) must be completed with an overall grade average of 70 or better.

The school board added its own stipulation that if any student eligible for promotion fails either English or math, they must either make up the class in summer school or take a remedial or compensatory class in the subject at the next level. The board hired Norman White, a CPA out of Longview for their au dit for a basic fee of $4,000. They also approved the list of books recommended by the textbook committee for the 1987-88 school year. The board will canvass the election results and reorganize the school board in their next scheduled meeting April 6. Lawmakers Look To Sale Of Bonds For Prison Funds AUSTIN (AP) Two Texas lawmakers want to take prison construction out of the state budget-writing process and fund building of the prisons through the sale of bonds.

The change would require a constitutional amendment, which voters would have to approve at the polls. If the change is approved, voters also would have to approve the bonds. Rep. Bob Aikin, D-Commerce, and Sen. Robert McFarland, R- Arlington, have filed a bill proposing the change.

"The enormous cost of prison construction is one of the major stumbling blocks for the Legislature in its attempt to balance the state budget," Aikin said. "I find it totally unacceptable to rob the Teacher Retirement System, cut public education and force local tax increases in order to pay immediately for a solution to the problem," Aikin said. Bond sales would allow the state to finance prison construction over 25 to 30 years. ALTO Services for Mrs. Virginia (Byers) Lanier, 96, Alto, are scheduled for 2 p.m.

Explosion Rocks Apartment Building MIDVALE, Utah (UPI) An explosion apparently sparked by leaking natural gas ripped the roof off a two-story apartment building Friday, critically injuring one man and sending tenants running into the street with tattered clothes and singed hair. "The explosion was so loud I can still hear it," witness Christine Kelly said. "Everything went up in the air in By KENT WALL Staff Writer Longview television station KLMG Channel 51 and parent company East Texas Television Network filed Friday for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, U.S.

Bankruptcy Court documents show. The Chapter 11 petition was filed Friday afternoon on behalf of ETTN and KLMG by Dallas attorney Kevin Wiley of the law firm of Chapman, Reese and Wyley. Chapter 11 means the company will continue to operate under a court-approved plan and under protection from creditors. KLMG officials late Friday cited dissension among shareholders, the threat of litigation against the company by "certain shareholders and creditors," as well as a sluggish East Texas economy as major reasons for the filing. The company also has obtained the support of its senior lenders, Barclays-American and Broadcast Capital to "recast" KLMG loans under a "fast track" plan with more favorable terms, according to a statement released by KLMG late Fridav.

The company also has negotiated an option agreement with Delta Television Corp. of California for "needed equity" to "move forward" that will serve to upgrade the Longview station and construct a Nacogdoches facility. Officials said the filing will allow a "safe harbor" for acquiring work- ing capital necessary to complete the development of broadcast facilities within the Tyler Area of Dominant Influence. "KLMG from the outset has considered itself to be in partnership with the public," said Clara J. McLaughlin, chairman of the board of ETTN.

"This reorganization will help strengthen this relationship by providing the range and quality in broadcasts and news services that the viewing audience deserves." Documents filed Friday show the largest secured claim, $6.75 million, is held by Barclay's American Business Credit of Hartford, Conn. Highest among the unsecured debt are a $900,000 claim by Broadcast Capital Fund and a $300,000 claim by Minority Broadcast both of Washington, D.C. Both of the claims are uncontested. There are also unsecured debts to two Gregg County banks, both of which are disputed, documents show. Oak Forest National Bank has a claim for $185,000 and First National Bank of Carthage has one for $45,000.

Ms. McLaughlin also filed a Chapter 11 petition Friday. Officials said that Barclays has agreed to recast its loan in principal as well as Broadcast Capital, The new term will reduce Barclays' interest from a floor of 12 percent to a floor of 9 percent, Ms. McLaughlin Dustin Nichols Bouncing Back From Infection DALLAS Dustin Nichols, 7, is recovering from a virus in Dallas' Children's Medical Center and may be released from the hospital this weekend, nursing supervisor Matt Crow said Friday night. The Arp liver transplant recipient was readmitted to the hospital Thursday evening, two days after he had been released from outpatient care and sent home to Arp.

He was admitted to the hospital for observation and was listed in fair condition. Dustin received a liver in a Feb. 8 operation but began throwing up Thursday morning and doctors were afraid he would dehydrate, so they ordered him hospitalized and began intravenous feeding, Linda Nichols, his mother, said. Rejection of the organ is a major concern, and Dustin must try to keep from catching a cold or virus because those things could affect the level of medication in his system which in turn could cause rejection. It is also important that the level of medication in his body be stabilized.
